    Warcolors nostalgia94 range is a complete match to the citadel colors from 1994, and they are now out for sale. But they are exactly like the paints from 94 so not super good paints, its not the color tones from 94 with a 2023 quality paint (exept from armypainter maybe😂)

    Just for future reference, the date that is usually on the base is not the date for the release of the miniature, it's for the base itself. It might be the same in some cases, but for example I have miniatures that were released in the 2000s and came with bases with a ´93 date. Only the metal miniatures usually have a sculpting year on the tab of the miniature between their legs, that's for when it was sculpted, it might have been casted a lot later.

    I am fairly certain that terminator was not a 90's model. When I started 40k the only models I could access were metal and not nearly the heroic size you have there. I have an assault squad and a fire squad. They were based on the same bases as the standard marines of the day and to my memory the base size did not change until the turn of the millennium. Which kind of supports my point. The terminator you painted has a very wide stance and would not fit on the smaller base. The model has no impact on the retro style of course, the paint job was very good and definitely pre-grim dark. My original Marine army started from the 2nd Ed box and were painted as Ultra Marines at the time and includes a Cyclone Missile launcher which comes apart at the seems any time it takes a dive off the table. Really should pin it.

    @Overdrive-19 Рік тому +1

    Great result! But i think you are overthinning your paints for your baselayers, you are creating more work for you for no benefit. Thats glaze consistency. Also as another commenter pointed out: You are using the wrong parchment paper, you need to use regular parchment paper (Butterbrotpapier) or even specialized wet pallete paper (its worth it in my opinion but ymmv), not baking sheets. Baking sheets dont let enough moisture through (if at all), which might be the reason you are overthinning in the first place?🤔Anyways, AMAZING Job but i think you can get there a bit quicker.
