what kind of putty do you use to affix the model to the paint spray can cap?

Lovely looking model, it would be even better if you had shown a bit more of the application of Dark Reaper as it looks a little more than just a thick edge high light. Keep up the good work.

Very detailed and informative. Fletch has nailed this, what an addition to the TT team he is. Would love to see him in some more bat reps too, seems like a top lad and loves the hobby.

Fantastic. I have 30 Black Legion models ready to paint. This is ideal. Thanks Fletcher.

This is the type of tutorial I love to see.
A beautifully painted mini done with a minimum number of easily accessible paints, no bizarre 5:4:1 ratios on mixes, using simple techniques.
Spectacular video. I’m stoked to see the Word Bearers video so I can get started on my own.

Awesome! What material do you use to make the base stick to another material when you paint them ?

Way of the Brush – Love it. I know Matte with highlights is how it’s usually done, but do you think Gloss could provide natural highlights just using reflected natural light? Just wondered if you’ve ever tried it. BTW Fletcher, at some point we need a Fletcher’s Faces Series, because that’s your superpower.

Great guide from Fletcher! I don’t have black legion but the tips on highlighting and bringing black armour to life are super helpful!
