Starting a nid army. Worked out my color scheme for them. Skin is airbrushed followed by wash and drybrushed. Carapace is just lots of highlight and glaze brushwork. Will post a few photos

I am le happy.
>>43677898
Depends what you to achieve.
Wash? Water
Just a little thinning? Water or anything you want
Glazing? 1/1 Glazing medium and a drop of water
Drybrushing? A drop of water
Inking? A lot of water and a drop of glazing medium (so it doesn't make paint rings)

Is there something like a "starter set" of tools for someone who will be painting figures for the first time. Malifaux figures, specifically.
>>43679376
Plenty. Reaper makes a whole "babby's first miniatures" kit and tutorial. Really good.

Man I am itching for IF betrayal at calth minis
Is anyone offering better than 115 euro inc shipping yet?
>>43680603
Oh fuck me, FW is actually offering it on their site as the new starter now?
Does anybody have any examples of miniatures painted with mostly (or exclusively) washes? I've got some chaos demons that are all primed white and I've heard that's an effective and quick way of doing it.
>>43680603
gw?
>>43680639
yeah but with legion specific upgrade kits and its not really a starter its still the same board game. im almost 100% sure they're absolutely pissed gw is trying to muscle in on their 30k project
>>43680797
It's actually pretty easy to do if you mix some brown and black wash as a preshade then mix your base color with colored wash like 2:3 and go over it. Youtube is full of examples, I especially remember a guy doing his Krieg
>>43680797
daemons are laughably easy with just (insert chaos god specific color) and a wash of some sort with some dry brushing you may need other colors for horns/claws/guts
>>43680810
Honestly I doubt they are pissed as upgrade kits fly off the shelves, it's only mk iv armor in plastic, more people get into 30k and now they can focus on all the primarchs and special characters as well as vehicles, titans and all the other factions present.

>>43682472
I'll need to remember the Confrontation elementals for my Shadowrun miniatures.
>>43682472
Yeah but there's only one variant, I need 20.
Anyone have ideas what I could use for arms for an Imperial Knight?
I have the crab body but don't have those swinging shoulder joints. Attaching weapons directly to the side just looks...off.

Almost done with my first Death Company marine. Just need some highlights, purity seal work, and a drilled barrel. Man these guys have a lot of bells and whistles for their point cost, but I'm not complaining.
>>43678498
Pic of it with the piece on? Also nice paintjob so far, but the gap and mould lines on his gun are pretty glaring, I won't suggest greenstuffing or gluing due to the paint being on, but maybe slap a piece of armor on it to cover it up and look more Ogryn-like.
>>43676926
Sup guys,
I was sick over the weekend so didn't make as much progress as I wanted, but here is a little tidbit of where I am currently at. Basically got the helmet further along on the Sorcerer, have done a couple more rounds on the gold portions of the other models, have the bolters painted and attached, and the Aspiring Sorcerer's backpack has been pinned on.
That's a little sneak peak of some terrain I am working on as well. I will make a lot of progress tomorrow.
>>43683599

>>43678516
Drybrushing is really effective on nids tho.
I just bought some eldar swooping hawks, and i'm soaking them in degreaser to get the primer off.
will post pics of the 'hawks later (im doing craftworld mymeara with an airbrush)
>>43683670
>my blue marines wip bros approve of your blue marines wip bros!
Haha, looking good too blue bro!
I'm getting into the hobby, and I bought a Hammerhead and Devilfish.
I noticed I really needed Anti-Vehicle firepower, but I'm broke for now.
I have the spare Skyray missile turret from the Hammerhead kit I bought, and I wanted to know if it's possible to convert a Devilfish into a Skyray, and more precisely, what parts will I need (Excluding the turret, which I already have) to fully complete the conversion.
It sems like the drones are different, but I don't know about the rest.
Also, goddamn I feel insecure with all those fucking beautiful paintings and conversions in this thread.
Any "beginner" kits online (on, like, Amazon or something) that would be good to purchase, starting out? Maybe one for brushes and one for paints? I'd rather not buy a million and seven different colors, even though I plan on doing a few wildly different kits.
I'd like advice on how my paintjob is, and what I can do to improve my overall painting skills, and those minis I already painted.
Do you think the color scheme is too bland, unicolor, or dark?
>>43684036
>>43684052
wash that red, and then highlight the edging bro
>>43684155
I already applied Nuln oil, but it gets kind of dirty, that makes it a bit off-looking. I washed them, and re-applied a bit of red paint to hide the oil that wasn't on details. Should I re-apply some, then?
Also, I already tried to highlight a bit, but I guess I did it way too lightly. I'm afraid to fuck up the entire mini if I do it wrong.
But thanks!
>>43684587
I would try running something darker in the cracks then Nuln oil. Try watering down some actual black paint, or a darker red. The photo makes it hard to notice any highlights with that flash washing out all the color.
>these plastic cataphractii
hrrrrnghhhhh
>>43683871
The only real difference between the Devilfish and the HH/Skyray is the chin mounted burst cannon vs. twin linked burst cannons. All of them can also take gun drones or a twin-linked smart missile system on the sides as well. Easiest thing to do if you want to be able to swap between devilfish and skyray is magnatize the burst cannon and run gundrones/SMS on the sides.

Trying to find a good, high quality boxset of brushes so that my family can buy me something for Christmas that I'll actually use.
I remember finding one a while back which came with a block of brush soap and good brushes, but I can't find it anywhere. Google is pretty much useless and I curse the day I didn't bookmark it when I found it.
Anyone have any idea who could be the seller?

Wash them with nuln or agrax and then layer the red on top of it, leaving the was in recesses and inner edges. Then edge highlight it with brighter red.
Finished some dwarfs and updated the dragon slayer a bit.
Quite happy with them.

Hashut's speed, Anon.
>>43685971
not to be an asshole, but you should improve your general painting before trying nmm.
It's a difficult technique to master and you need at least a good skill layering to pull it off.
Base should get more work too
>>43685971
You need far more contrast for NMM

>>43686219
Well...they took a lot of inspiration and camera angels from it but I recently bought the first part and I was totally underwhelmed.
Rotoscopy abounded and shitty cuts.
I am no movie historian, maybe I got the wrong one or they improved for the later installments.
Not that there weren't good parts but my nostalgy clouded my mind.
Also Mordheim has Chaos Dwarfs too.
Fun as hell.

At least make sense. No where is his paint thick and obscuring detail.
Looks like the shit lords have awoken from their "roommates" (a la Grandma's Boy) basements.
Tact. Get some or die alone.
>>43686683
The acrylic brushes are synthetics and only go down to like size 1, you should be looking at the watercolor brushes.
>>43686711
My cats usually leave it alone, but they're getting older and sleepier. My cat-in-law seemingly does speedballs when awake, and wants to either sit on my lap or tear down the minis from the table.
How old are they? What personality do they have? There are variables in the cat/miniature relationship, anon. I'll help if I can, got 6 years of cat/paint experience.
>>43686873
Thanks, man. It's called the foundation set. Yellow bristles on the watercolors, 5 or 6 brushes for around 12 ameribucks. Good value?
>>43686711
Well, that would involve immediate and consistent training from the first day. And as they are rescues, they may have already developed bad habits. Your first potential mistake could be that you think a cat cannot be trained. If you can avoid that, and your SO (or whoever you mean by "we") has to help. That is, you have to stop your cats from getting on tables and such immediately and consistently or not at all. Growing up, none of our cats ever thought to jump up on a desk or table. That would be just out of the question. But I know other people who think it's cute putting them up on counters and everything when they are young and then you have a filthy cat on everything right after walking in it's own shit and piss sand.
Otherwise, you need to have a room with a door and/or your work station needs to be able to be broken down and you need a closable display shelf for your models. For instance, you can make a small paint station by wrapping a small plastic cutting board in newspaper and using rolled up pieces and tape to make a little trough to hold a number of paints along the top of it. Then you just need your brushed and water out more or less and all of that can be put into a drawer or rubbermaid storage shelf thing (with drawers as well).
I've had this cutting board for like 10 years.
>>43686929
The shapes and size don't exactly look ideal for painting miniatures.
If you're just painting 28mm or heroic scale you want round brushes in sizes 2-0, 4 is handy for basecoating. Bear in mind brush sizes are in no way standard, so they vary from manufacturer to manufacturer.
What's your budget?
>>43686904
>>43686970
well my cats are not even 1 year old, very curious, especially one who have to sniff, touch and play with every single small object he spots. He also tends to jump on my laps, and I'm afraid he'll do this when I'll be painting some details and fuck everything up. Same with leaving models to dry.
Since I'm using vallejos and wet pallette, I fear he'll dip his nose or paw into paints and leave gorillion of marks on furniture.
>>43686970
And yes, that is an old Scorpion Green that is 90% full ;) It's funny how hated it used to be and how sought after it is now. It will come in handy for the green glowing eyes I will be attempting on my Thousand Sons today. That and the magenta-crimson crushed velvet robes hopefully.

>>43687057
Okay, so the other half of my comment then. Close the door. Put things away when done.
>>43686987
Well, I really just thought about replacing some brushes because no one in this country seemingly sells brush soap, and I heard from anons that WN are really good brushes. Mostly it'll go on my wh/40k minis, but a good larger drybrush wouldn't go amiss if I want to make some Frostgrave scenery.
>>43687072
Yeah, I'm gonna have to second this. They'll probably leave it alone/be disinterested in a few years.
>>43687077
The higher end are, sure. For the lower end brushes it doesn't really matter what you get.
Try going to a fine arts store for some brush soap. If you can find some, get a W&N series 7 miniature size 1 and a couple size 2 and 4 synthetics or cheap natural hair brushes for non-precision work.
The professional sable watercolor brushes are cheaper but still high quality sables, they should still be cared for.
WIP Ghostkeel....
>>43688135
...and some of his friends I was working on a few threads back,
One last stupidly hi-res photo.
>>43688201
>>43688167
FYI these images aren't so clear that shrinking these to 25% of their original resolution will not change anything we are seeing and your images will be like 200-800KB instead of 2.5MB.
This can be done with free software, and your computer likely already comes with something pre installed that takes 3 clicks to do.
>>43688247
I realised this after first 2 photos but figured, in for a penny, in for a pound.
Usually I just set camera to lower resolution but must have changed it for work. Doh.
Paint test for salamanders.
While I'm finishing it up it only gets to command a
LEGion
>>43688135
My only critique, and its not if that gun is magnetized, is that you went with one str 8 chance for a melta over 6 str 7 shots that potentially hit rear armor anyway.
>>43688331
>and its not if that gun is magnetized
It is thankfully. I don't know why as I never get to play anyway. I have bought Kauyon but haven't really read it yet, so went with the option of magnetising everything, including the head so I can get inside cockpit easily, rather than getting mad later when I realise I messed up... again.
>>43688167
Shit looks good. How'd you do the weathering?
>>43688382
Use little make up applicators to put camo black brown sorta like sponge method, but a smaller scale. Then use a brush to apply a little bolt gun metal to certain areas to make them look a bit more worn.
Glad you like it, I thought I may have went overboard. The biggest bonus is it requires no real skill which is exactly how I like it.
>>43688135
Craftworld Ianden?
>>43688305
Looks cool. Can't really make out the green that well due to lighting.
Right, so I'm putting together a list that involves 8 of this bastards, but I absolutely hate the floating base, because the stands break.
Anyone have any suggestions for alternate legs to use with these dudes? I looked around at quad legs and didn't find anything, but I'd settle for a regular pair of legs as well.
>>43688459
What the fuck is an Ianden?
Craftworld my friend Ian's Den?
>>43688459
That's a better reaction than "bumblebee from Transformers" which was what the first person I showed it too said. Crushing.
>>43688474
Could the Dune Crawler work? What of the Necron dude? You'd have to mod them some, but not much really. Remove rivets, etc.
Or the Necron Triarch Stalker?
>>43688515
Triach Stalker is too big, I think. Might be a good choice for some other projects though.
Dune Crawler might work, though the legs look too spread out for a 50mm base. I'll have to get a kit and see how it goes.
I've also considered using the plain old Sentinel legs, but that's something I need to experiment with as well.
How do people get such neat highlights/shades with their airbrushes? I feel like a paraplegic handling mine, it's always too messy even when being light.
>>43688135
I like it, it reminds me of Hyperion from borderlands. Please make a fire warrior like like handsome jack
>>43688566
I think the sent legs will look too clunky. What about the 4x the Triach's back legs.... Nothing like a $200 model ;)
>>43688619
Phone typing sucks. Sorry for my grammar
>>43688615
I would assume quality of the tools and bits matter greatly in this regard
>>43688641
I understand that but it's not like I got some super cheap chinese airbrush, I guess it's just going to be a case of continuing and practicing which is all good but just the costs of models.
>>43677064
>>43677103
well memed my karma whorish friend
>>43678138
>>43678181
This colour scheme is fucking great.
>>43688679

>>43688615
I'm
>>43688135
So I am no expert, and you may in fact know better than me but basically the best advise is to play around with PSI and thinning of paint on paper until you can get a smooth application.
I find buying a proper airbrush thinner helps too as you can really make your paints transparent for smooth blends without just ending up with paint running down your model.
Airbrushing is one of those things that looks really really easy until you actually pick one up.
>>43688619
I never played it but you couldn't be more right!
>>43685994
>>43686023
thanks for the criticism guys, looking at the picture i can see your point and completely agree. it is not a good NMM, though i must say that imho it looks good enough for the tabletop, which is where this mini will end up once i find someone to play 8th ed fantasy against....
that all said and done, which tutorials would you recommend for layering?
>>43688679
Then maybe you should share what you do actually have? I don't know much about air brushes, but I am trying to suss out relevant information from you so others can help.
>>43688474

>>43688305
too "minty" imo, looks like sons of medusa atm.
>>43688305
>>43689604
Agreed. Seems too bright, toning down the green or dirtying it up would help.
>>43686340
From the look of it, looks like a deep blue undercoat, a top-down medium blue airbrush and then some highlights with a shade of blue lighter than the coat you're highlighting. That scheme would make excellent Crimson Fists. Not sure what Legion that's supposed to be but I'm assuming traitor due to the chainglaive dude's helmet.
>>43689709
It is from Calth so I imagine Night Lords
>>43683599
Hey, I'm trying to do the same shining blue armor for my thousand sons, what did you use to achieve that look?
Alright, so what would you add to pic related to make it interesting? The tron look and glow is the main focus of the style, but this feels very bland and flat.
>>43686420
> I'm no movie historian
I'm an animation historian and I can tell ya, it just sucks. The only genuine good thing that director ever did was the ending of Wizards.
>>43686711
Either work in a closed door room, or have a spray bottle with water and a little bit of lemon juice in it always at hand's reach. If the cat jumps on your desk IMMEDIATELY spray him and say an authoritative NO. Lemonjuice water is a guarantee for cats to stop going where you spray them with.
Problem solved.
>>43687097
That'll never happen. Cat's that want attention will actively always try to put themselves between you and your shit.
>>43688135
>Dat nice airbrush yellow. Surely this is gonna be some gorgeous cartoony t...
>>43688167
>>43688201
>Oh God what have they done?! YOU MANIACS
>>43689837
The "bland and flat" look is actually what you want for a good Tron look... which you actually achieved. Kudos. It's a hard thing to do.
What you need, is some additional focal points other than the cockpit. Paint the gems exactly like you did the cockpit (which needs a final point highlight imho) and add some glow to the gun tips. That's pretty much all it needs. Keep the blacks flat like it is.
Gonna look badass.
I'm currently doing a mockup in photoshop to see if what I'm saying makes sense.
>>43689837
Paint the jewels, son. Make them dark, but pick colours that complement the blue/orange contrast you've got going.
Also, put some shading on the blue cannons and some highlights on the black. Just be careful and go up in colour slowly.
Though I like your glow effects and the cockpit is really, really nice. Nice and clean, everything.
>>43689837
>>43689917
I think what would help the most is if the black had a gloss coat
>>43687097
Or you get a dog too. My cats hide in the ceiling.
>>43689837
Go full retard, add glow effect to circled spots and really strong glow to exhaust.

Gloss? Really? So like a gloss varnish over the whole model? Or a gloss black primer when I start?
>>43689917
Eeeeeh... really not sure about my suggestions anymore. I think >>43690073 might be more on the money here.
>>43690135
But the tank really needs to have it's weapon distinguished from the rest of the tank. They probably need the glow but a different color. At least the gems done if no line glow.
>>43690135
I love the reds and blues you added. Yellow not so much. I think I'll keep it flat, and 'ardcoat the gems for a shine. Still not sure about the engine glow. I don't want it to turn out like pic related. There's too much blue there.
>>43690135
I'd second this design. Orange glow and highlight on the blue guns makes for great contrast, and the orange gems make for an interesting counterpoint to the blue lights. Just some subtle edge highlighting, and possibly orange exhaust if you want to continue the two-colour scheme.
Also, this anon forgot some of the gems. Some might be a bit too close, but paint the ones you feel needs a bit of contrast.
Also, to the original glowtank anon, I'd recommend you do some simple mock-ups before starting to paint to help planning the colours. It's pretty helpful.

This isn't reddit, you sensitive pussy.
>>43690317
I agree, but the only models I really see with the recessed lines like this are eldar, dark eldar, and necrons. Not much area for practice.
Also I'm planning on doing my corsairs like this, as it looks tron enough. Any idea what head this is? It kind of looks like the pilot for a dark eldar venom.
Not my images, btw, but thank you for the complements anyhow. This all really helps me out as I plan and practice for the real deal.
>>43690419
The blend from the orange to the reds on this model are great, but how is it done? I'm god awful at wet blending. And the area seems too small to be dry brushed then glazed.

That's actually really good.
>>43689709
>>43686340
They are Nightlords and its only 3 paints. First is just airbrushed black, then on the top parts and raised edges airbrushed white. Then the whole model is hit with Airbrush Vallejo dark blue. The white over black means I have instant shading when applying the dark blue base coat.
>>43690087
I think the black should be glossy like a really slick shinny vehicle. That is, essentially finishes the model and then do the line lights over that. Just a suggestion of course

Then you do that first and touch up the black after.

Their bodies are a breeze to paint, and for some reason they make very... sassy skeletons
>>43688710
upvoted friend :^)
>>43691115
For some legs would you consider chopping them off for pure skeletal legs? Like one armored leg one unarmored?
>>43691234
Oh yes that was very possible, i just didnt have any extra skeletal legs. The Perry miniature legs flush themselves to the bottom of the torso, so it would be quite easy to stick a skeletal leg on there.

Perfect response hahaha

Eh, my cats never bother with my minis, as I said, it's the cat-in-law that tips them over. The only thing that happens is my fat tom sometimes steps over the paint tray to get to the window. If they want attention when I paint, they usually sit beside the table and meow or pat my leg.
>>43691245
Only thing I don't like about them is they're very upright. So maybe the complete removal of the legs would just make it look more believably undead.

Help a bro out /tg/, whats a good recipe for painting black? Im looking for a kind of muted/greyish black, Im thinking a layer of grey then a very thin coat of abaddon black but before I experiment anything I'd like to see if there are any good tutorials on painting black.
>>43692151
And they still haven't been released.
Gonna be painting some imperial fists with Vallejo air, would it be better to preshade with burnt umber THEN putting on golden yellow or base with golden yellow with a 50/50 burnt umber/golden yellow mix?
>>43692210
seconding this
additionaly, do yoy know of any youtube channels with painting protips that you would recommend?
>>43692333
all the tutorials ive seen they usually base with the umber
>>43692333
sorry I meant
base with golden yellow then apply a 50/50 burnt umber/golden yellow shade
>>43692210
You can do 5:1 Chaos Black to Codex Grey.
Or the darkest grey with 3-4 washes of black. That is what I am doing with my Grey Knights that use the original GW black colour scheme. But here I am going for a very dark grey instead, and would likely do another layer of black wash for you. This guy isn't done yet.
>>43692470
by darkest grey I mean Mechanicus Standard Grey (I am not sure if that is the darkest)

copy paste form guide I've found, but can't put link here for some reason
1. After priming the model in white, I basecoat it with GW's Averland Sunset. I like this color, but sometimes it'll go on a little unevenly, take your time with it. For my Assault Marines, Dreadnought, and Storm Raven I'm planning on putting this layer down with an airbrush.
2. To ensure an even, solid coverage, I highlight the model with a mix of GW Averland Sunset and VGC Sun Yellow.
3. The next highlighting stage is with VGC Sun Yellow.
4. The final highlighting stage is a mix of VGC Sun Yellow and VMC Pale Sand (I love Pale Sand, a fantastic color that gets used all the time).
>>43692624
After all the highlighting is complete, it's on to the shading. This is where I was in unfamiliar territory as the vast bulk of my painting has always been working up from the shade to the highlight, but it was certainly fun learning how to work this way.
5. I began shading with a mix of GW Averland Sunset and GW Skrag Brown, adding more Skrag Brown as I went along. This stage is actually about three or four passes, adding more depth each time.
6. This stage is for adding the final depth shade, a thinned wash or two of VGC Charred Brown. I paid particular attention to the corners of the shoulder pad and the rear of the greaves.
7. And the next step is to tidy up everything with some VGC Black.
>>43691866
It isn't at all
>>43689814
Sup,
So, I spray it with Krylon ColorMaster Metallic Silver Spray Paint+Primer.
It is essential that you shake this can for a full 60 seconds, or more. No less.
Humidity must be below 50%. The lower the better. Temperature, ideally 5-20 C (~40-70 F). Wind should be minimal and just use bursts of wind as an opportunity to shake the can some more.
Spray from about 12" away and have the model(s) on a stick so you can rotate the model instead of the can.
Shake often.
This way you will get a nice thin smooth base coat. I recommend this over priming black and then hand painting Runefang Steel (mithril silver) as the Krylon is a much brighter and shinier silver, and you just get a smoother more consistent coverage on the model compared to doing a metallic with a brush over larger surfaces.
Next, I do a layer of Asurmen Blue Wash thinned 5:3 with Lahmian Medium (or just buy an acrylic matte medium at a craft store). As this wash is discontinued and the new Shades are not the same product, your mileage may vary with that product line. I am told that the current Army Painter Inks are the same product that GW used to use for their discontinued Wash line.
I then do a very lite dry brushing of Runefang Steel over all the blue areas. I do not dry brush after later layers of Asurmen Blue
Repeat the Asurmen Blue Wash stage, again thinning it with your Matte Medium. BTW, get some cheap disposable plastic pipettes at the craft store to help with accurate mixing and the conservation of your paints.
Let that layer fully dry. This is a good project to do a number of models at once.
Repeat the Asurmen Blue Wash stage, thinned again with Matte Medium.
I stop here, but continue onward if you like.
Now touch up all surrounding areas you don't want to be blue and continue with your model.
I hope that helps.
>>43692210
Basecoat with a dark charcoal, shade with pure black and highlight with base + grey.
If you place the base and highlight next to each other you should be able to tell them apart if there's a clear line, but they shouldn't be massively different.
>>43690866
Clever. That's actually how I did the base lighting on the scales of >>43678436
I basecoated black, sprayed blue liberally in both light and shadows, then glazecoated with yellow with the airbrush on where the light hits for a beautiful rich green that translates to blue in the shade. Then I did the highlights by brush.
I know I put some red somewhere in-between those stages but I forgot where.
>>43693501
>thinned 5:3 with Lahmian Medium (or just buy an acrylic matte medium at a craft store).
And you can change that ratio to whatever you feel like.
>>43693516
>>43692470
Absolutely nice, thanks guys. Im going to try something similar by doing the base with German grey then either shade black or several nuln oil washes.
getting back into the hobby after shedding my neckbeard for a few years

kickass wartrack, the plasticard work is top notch! just need some rivets and you're golden. What will it be armed with? Any gubbinz?
Love seeing GorkaMorka stuff
Bike conversion ongoing...
My eyes are bigger than my appetite
>>43694263
Yeah, there's gonna be gubbinz. There will be four vehicles total, 2 trukks, 2 buggies. One of each trakked and wheeled. The way I want to do it with gubbinz and gunz is have the mounts magnetised and standardised, so I can make just one of each, and then he can swap them between the vehicles to have fun with various combinations. Stuff like reinforced rams and extra armor is gonna be more vehicle specific though.
Glad you like it even in this half-done state. Have a previous update pic as well.

That looks really good! The layout doesn't look very natural nor super effective, but it looks badass.
>>43695006
Might I suggest, for your light box using a curved sheet instead? Get a piece of bristle board (white &/or blackl) and cut it to size. Make it about 40% longer than it is tall and have it flat on the front bottom and curve up the back wall. This crreates a natural gradient on the colour backdrop and breaks up and edge lines in the background.
>>43695034

Get a wash in those armor cracks to really make them pop. You dont need to slather it all over the mini if you like the color already, but just get a small-ish brush and drip it in those cracks to bring out the depth.
