Thank you! Sure I can share.

The basic scheme would be:
  • Zenithal with airbrush or sprays (black, grey, white)
  • Skin: Citadel Carrborough Crimson (thinned 1:1 with medium) all over model
  • Skin-Drybrush: Citadel Wytch Flesh
  • Carapace: Vallejo Game Color (VGC from here on) Hexed Lichen
  • Carapace Highlights: VGC Stonewall Grey Drybrush
  • "Gills" & "Breathing Holes" (don't know their names): Citadel Contrast Blood Angels Red
  • Joints: Citadel Contrast Volupus Pink
  • Hoofs, Claws & Teeth: either Citadel Contrast Black Templar or Army Painter Speed Pallid Bone
  • Eyes: Base with Citadel Contrast Bad Moon Yellow and thin coat of FX Fluor Speed Yellow
  • Gooy strings: Uhu Glue
  • Fleshy parts (Wings or Termagant fleshborers): Citadel Contrast Darkoath
  • Fresh and dried blood: Mix of Citadel Technichal Blood for the Blood God and Typhus Corrosion (varying ratio of both)
Base:
  • Paste with Vallejo Diorama FX - Black Lava - Asphalt
  • Heavy Drybrush with VGC Stonewall Grey
  • Light Drybrush with VGC Dead White

Finally completed the rest of the Leviathan box. Kind of proud right now, yet C&C is always welcome :)

Edit:typo

Thank you. I'm painting them in batches. The bigger and common steps across all minis. So took a long time. If I had to guess probably something like 15-20 hours for the screamer all in all. Space Marine was done with bits I had left and green stuff

Unfortunately life got in the way but the past couple of weeks I managed to continue on some models and even finished others :)

After having completed the nodebeast with black carapace, I kind of wish I would have gone with this color scheme for all the others haha

Corpses for the corpsegod!

I'd say probably about 2-3 months; maybe more

Is there a way to disable swipe-gestures? They do look nice but I constantly save or upvote random posts or comments just by scrolling and fat-fingering

A couple of days later, finished basic shading and drybrushing of fleshy areas. Working in batches takes some time for each step but the endresult will look really nice and uniform.

Will probably do the carapaces next. I'll give an update once that's done

Thanks. Good thing I convinced my dad to paint the space marine side of the box

[-] ralothar@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Will do! Only ever lurked on reddit so I'm trying to change that here.

Had to clip some parts of the pins away for the screamers chest to fit. Also the gap on the frontal dorsal carapace of the Psychophage is really bad. I even filled it up with plastic putty but it still shows

[-] ralothar@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

True haha. Still missing some colors. But the zenithal worked nicely

Though I gotta say, removing all those mould-lines was a pita

Scraping sites to gain information and spinning a web of interaction and activity are 2 different things. If your fine with Meta having this data easily available that's on you. No one stops you from signing up with their services but most people here want to distance themselves from huge corporations and their shenanigans

[-] ralothar@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

It's a "flaw" of the fediverse in general not about private data. As soon as two instances are federated and users interact with eachother, information like posts, comments, votes etc are shared

[-] ralothar@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

I know interoperability between email providers is often used to make the concept of federation more aproachable but other than that they are totally different systems.

Your sent emails aren't published and not everyone with an email server can track your activity. Unlike lemmy if it connects to threads

[-] ralothar@lemmy.world 54 points 1 year ago

How so many people seem to brush this off is beyond me. As far as I'm concerned the purpose of federated, decentralized services is being in charge of who to trust and huge corporations not controlling or monitoring every part of your online activity.

Obviously as soon as Meta starts dealing with ActivityPub and Fediverse, the overwhelming majority of users will flock to their servers. They will be more userfriendly and responsive. In effect they will also hold the overwhelming majority of content and data. Just a matter of time till most of the other instances will become obsolete, due to bandwith regulations or smth similar,

The fediverse will be rebranded as the "Threadiverse"
