Finished magnetizing my Ghostkeel. I like the secondary guns on the left arm rather than the shoulders. Because putting the drone controller bit on a ghostkeel made absolutely no fucking sense, lol.
>>43580839
Show me your wip
>>43580916
I tried doing purple metallic using the guide but I think maybe ai should thin the wash a little, what do you guys think?
>>43580964
The mini looks so much dirtier on photo...
Just got my bits from Maxmini for my desert warriors. Really pleased with them.
>>43581130
The desert patrol so far. I have a commissar in one of my boxes somewhere, so I'll be able to use these guys for Kill Team
>>43581145
Fucking love commissars, do him first! I don't play guard but collect commissars anyway. I've got the imperial primer/power fist guy on his way to me now. Lord commissars are cool too.
>>43581221
I actually have three of them lying about. One bolt pistol/whip, one plasma pistol/power sword, and one Lord Commisar with a power fist and sword.
Perfect to inspire my Imperial Muhajadeen.
>>43581221
>>43581240
Speaking of the Commisars, I'm debating whether to paint their coats in a desert tan like the rest of my troops or keep them the traditional black. A big black trench coat is probably not a good idea in a desert.
>>43581252
Well, commissars come straight from the schola and often dress different depending on their regiment but generally they do wear something to indicate their rank. Perhaps just doing the in a golden trim will be enough
is there any store that sells helmets like pic related? I thought FW did, but I can't find them on their website anymore
Brown Troglodon guy reposting from previous thread. I've finally finished the guy. This kig is a blast (though not as much as the stegadon), and the brown choice was a perfect advice. Thanks to the kind anon who suggested it.
>>43581522
IF templar brethren upgrade kit, sternguard has one too.
>>43581130
>>43581145
That's really rad. Keep us posted.
Hey guys, I'm about to be repainting a whole bunch of shitty space marines I painted terribly a few years ago once they're done stewing in simple green. I'm also about to be painting a bunch of WWII figures, so I've got a lot of drab green, grey, and khaki paints. Can anyone suggest a chapter that uses any of those colors?
Also, any tips for painting space marines for someone who has basically no clue what they're doing?
Working on Skullcannon. The red parts are finished, maybe I'll add tiny extreme highlights on some edges too.
>>43581707
Probably a good idea. It looks a bit flat as-is (though still nice, don't get me wrong).

Stegadon has got to be the best GW kit to build and paint in existence. I really need to buy another one.
Cool trog, dude.

Well, trips can't lie. These look rad, thanks guys.
How do you prevent bubbles from forming in your painting when thinning it, /wip/?
>>43581601
What blues did you use for the lizardman?
>>43582600
The fuck, don't whisk your paint before you use it
>>43582663
Skin is temple guard blue washed coelia greenshade, then a new coat of TG blue and a highlight of Lothern blue.
Scales are stegadon green washed coelia and highlighted with thunderhawk.
Here is a potatoe picture of a ravenwing command bike. I did an Ironbreaker Base with two layers of Naggaroth Night purple. I have only done one layer of yellow trim and yellow/white detail.
I am using a Soul Drinker color scheme and was wondering if I should paint my other bikes purple or more yellow.
My marines are going to be purple as well and I was wondering if it would be too much.

>>43582982
you should consider getting a better camera m8
>>43583022
I agree, I have a cheap ass cell phone is the problem. Maybe my kindle camera is better but I doubt that.
Here it is.
>>43581730
The camera/light didn't catch the effect very well, it looks better irl. But maybe something more.
>>43581615
and without the laurel leaves?
>>43583212
No, you have a black background and almost no light in the room. Even with a 1000 dollar cam you'd end up with shit pics
>>43583301
Not sure, I think the ravenwing command squad has something similar and so does the vanguard sprue but it's not a 100% match since the champ wears artificer armor made from pre heresy era armor
>>43583350
Here I was thinking the box would help.
Third try is the charm?
>>43583401
>>43580964
>I tried doing purple metallic
Are you trying to get purple metal (let's say some exotic metal), or plain metal but with a purple vibe..?
>>43581601
My pleasure to help.
>>43581701
Just look up, and see if you like the fluff.
I got a 40K Combined Mechanicus Mars themed army and some 30k Mechanicum as well. I am working on a display board for them right now which i intend to enter into next years armys on parade when it comes around.
I will post pics in a few hours when lighting will allow it.
Now I really want to add some titans to my tech priests and I could get a decent deal on two of the old Lucius Pattern Warhounds which i actually like really well.
Only problem is I am superbly autistic about the army's theme and i am not sure if or why Mars would have Titans that they actually have their own pattern for from another Forgeworld.
Would this make any sense fluff wise?
Help me defeat my autism /tg/.
>>43583819
They're Mars, and their reach is very vast.
You can fluff them as gifted
>>43583957
8/10 would offer jugular
>>43583451
the suspension on the front wheel could use some metallic color, aside from that it's fine, not too much purple or anything
>>43580839
Pewter tarnish affect priming at all?
I've got an old pewter mini. It's looking pretty tarnished in a few areas. Will this affect spray primer sticking right?
>>43583301
Command squad box and Vanguard vet have one each. The Vanguard one is a tad pointier.
Venerable Dreadnought has one with a slightly lower neckline. It is the best rendition of the three in my opinion.
>>43581601
Really well painted, crisp, nice scheme. Only negative for me is the base, imo it feels too bare and lacks something.
>>43581252
a commissar's sign of rank is their red sash. Otherwise, they can dress in the gear of their adoptive chapter, although most choose to keep their normal kit since it makes them more visible to the soldiers they are meant to inspire.
>>43583957
I want to see the other side.
Would an airbrush like this work for someone who just wants to basecoat/do minor highlighting on Eldar? Also, what Vallejo Air paints would you recommend for doing Saim-Hann?
>>43585340
Whoops, forgot my image
how do you paint half-and-half color schemes?
Posted him last thread, didnt see a response, anyone have any advice on doing the hazard stripes?
>>43585605
I'd say if you have to ask, you are probably going to hate yourself before even done a single squad.
Otherwise, to paint a half and half colour scheme such as this, you simply paint one half the one colour and the other half the other colour. Sounds dumb, but here we are.
>>43585665
Taymia modeling tape
Got a question. I'm prepping my Ta'unar for painting and whatnot, but then I saw its base. It's this gigantic perfectly circular base. Never seen a base that size before. Measured it to be 6.25 inches in diameter, so roughly 160mm in diameter.
Anyone seen places that sell scenic 160mm / 6.25in circular bases? None of the usual places I buy from have bases that are over the standard monstrous creature base or knight base. I don't want to use the pleb base it came with.
Alright so I've tried the technique in pic related several times, but each time I get mutt led colors and absolutely no shine to it. Alternate options or tricks to make colored metals work well?
>>43585923
Help if I attached the picture.
I know these threads are usually for the painting side of things, but I was wondering if anyone had any sculpting resources that would be useful?
>>43585876
They finally released something that uses the 160mm base?
>>43580916
>>43580964
Which guide are you talking about? I think the best way to go would be to use a transparent paint/ink over silver/chrome. The thinner you go with it, the more subtle it will be. Let me see if I can find a figure to do an example on. I might be a little bit but will post as soon as I can..
>>43585665
Search for '2mm masking tape' on amazon
>>43584399
BUMP
Need to know
>>43586084
thanks nigga, u da real mvp
>>43584399
>>43586198
shouldnt be an issue, if you're worried find a really fine wire brush and give it a light scraping
>>43584399
>>43586198
I don't think it will. Primer should stick to the tarnish just as well as untarnished pewter.
>>43586084
>>43585665
You could always get a metal ruler and cut some wider masking tape you have on hand. Just line things up before you start cutting. You can remove some of tack by taping it to your hand and then pulling it away.
>>43580839
sup /wip/, I had a question.
I recently bought a Taghmata army from Forgeworld, and built/magnetized it after many months of time.
There's just one issue. I have muscle tremors and it would be impossible for me to paint them and not have them look like a blind man attempted it.
If I wanted to find someone else to paint for me, where would I go? One of you perhaps?
>>43586495
Why did you start a hobby that expects dedication and skill if you are medically incapable of putting in the work expected?
>>43586550

he's clearly put a lot of work in, and even if he cant do the painting himself, he can still enjoy it
>>43580839
Hey WIP, I didn't like any of the inquisitor models and would have to convert one if I wanted one with a hammer anyway so I was thinking...
How hard would it be to chop the arms off a canoness and replace them? I could make the hammer out of greenstuff but I don't think I'm confident enough to build the arms from scratch.
How big is she compered to other models?
Does she come as a solid lump or metal or in bits?
I'm going to start KoW Basileans. They have Elohi which are 54mm giant angels and I want to create a theme for them.
Roman legionnaires with 54mm gladiators or Samurai with 54mm samurai?
>>43586623
TIP: buy GW stormcast eternal prosecutors instead of elohi, because those things are pretty fucking terrible and look like ass
>>43586495
Prime the Tag in pieces using the colors you want. Water down your bases and apply over the primer. Wash. Done. Tag are incredibly easy to paint. Once you get a base down you can go to an LGS, introduce yourself to someone and ask them to apply a coat of paint to the small stuff for a couple bucks while they're there. Don't let them take your miniatures home, you may never see them again.
>>43586623
Stormcast look like fat space marines crossed over with Plagueknights. Complete garbage.
I'd use something along the lines of these.
>>43586550
Really?
What is a good website to buy paint at? My FLGS doesn't have much of a selection.
Should I get Vallejo, P3, reaper or citadel?
>>43585665
That green looks good, what shade?
>>43586495
If your an american consider the blue table painting service or talk to someone at your flgs
>>43586550
This is no place for the likes of you
>>43586886
>blue table painting
No. Just no.
Asking around in your FLGS is a good idea, and you can go check online sites like bolter & chainsaw or dakkadakka, or just go look at well painted stuff on cool mini or not and check the painters' websites or contact info.
>>43586886
its baharroth blue with a waywatcher green glaze
>>43586662
those dont look that bad, and the stormcast are pretty fucking lame
>>43586063
So I couldn't be bothered to dig around for the clear red and the orange yields more of a brown, so I skipped that and just kept with the blue. This was done on an unprimed resin surface and I didn't wait too long for the silver to dry but I applied the blue in different densities here to give an idea of how it works.
>>43581522
Hey! Second from the left >>43584852
Is the venerable dread helm that >>43582473 was talking about
>>43587166
Someone's been caught eating the tau-meat cookies again.
>>43586623
Anyone?
>>43584882
Yeah I don't put much effort in the bases of my army. I feel like it's distracting most of the time. Also I'm lazy and don't know what to add so I keep at to the minimum.
hi /tg/, I recently invested in a platoon of death korps of krieg as well as a couple of forgeworld russes, and i'm wondering how to paint my tanks.
my colour scheme for the infantry is just light grey coats with brown leathers, so that doesnt lend itself very well to a unifying theme with vehicles. can you reccomend any colours? I'm leaning towards something like this.
>>43587349
What kind of base are you planning to give them?
>>43587261
Omnomnomnom
>>43587403
i'm using the Secret Weapon 'blasted wetlands' bases. here's a model i've done, but i swapped the brown coat and black leathers for a grey coat and brown leathers.
sorry about the poor shot
>>43581522
pretty sure thats just an mk iv helmet
>>43587419
So maybe something that would use a couple approximated colors from the wetland's palette? Possibly a grey-brown with some bands or splotches of green? You can check out some WWI or Interwar tank camo patterns and see if anything particular pattern might inspire you.
>>43587349
Schwarzgrau.
>>43587767
Nein! Feldgrau!
>>43583819
You don't simply leave functional parts behind as the mechanicus. Explorator fleets could have found an old battlefield in the outer reaches and refurbished the titans they found there, as they were still viable for being repaired.
>>43581522
Basic grey knight head holy shit man.
Hey gang,
Looking for some opinions, painting my Warzone: Resurrection Bauhaus army for an upcoming convention event and I'm painting them up martian style, so I wanted some thoughts from people about camo patterns. Should I limit it to the armour plates, the fatigues or extend it to both?
Thus far I've gone for citadel xv-88/snakebite leather for the armour and a dark red mix I made from some rhinox hide, and old pot of blood red and a bit of khorne red. For the pattern itself I'll be using reddish-browns, sandy yellows, mid tone browns and red, probably a muted red at that.
So gents, any thoughts?
>>43588177
Be sure to pick out all the tiny details like belt buckles and such, it really brings a model to life and shouldn't take long.
The color scheme itself is fine. I'd probably go with dark blue lenses myself with this scheme.
>>43588198
Yep, I'll definitely make sure to pick out straps and buckles, I've only just wrapped up the base coat on his armour and uniform. As for the face those aren't goggles, I'm sorry my lighting isn't enough to pick out the face detail but there're eyes in there.
>>43588223
More like matte black barely reflects in the first place! Anyway, keep us updated brah.
I'm actually going to have to work on something to get this thread going, don't I? Goddammit /tg/
>>43585936
I am in the same boat and just gave up. I will probably pick up the Tamiyo Clear or whatever to give it a gloss look.
>>43588677
You can always get metallic medium instead and mix it with the paint you want. It's how every custom car shop makes metallic paint.
>>43588677
Coat d'arms has a line of metalic colours, vallejo also make a metalic medium for making your own metalic paint. That's what I use, the vallejo stuff, works pretty well, I'll post up some more Warzone stuff tomorrow that I've done with it.
>>43587419
there is no grass on KRIEEEEEG!!!!
>>43588486
Will do mate, hopefully more progress to share tomorrow.
>>43588717
Looks more like toxic ooze. Possibly from Gas/chemical weapons?
>>43588717
Like they're fighting ON krieg
>>43585605
Marking tape and time. It's difficult to do.
I have one of these rubber brushes to work the tape around details and flatten it out. That helps
Been working on my Bolt Action table, currently WiP.

Have two more boards to make it 4x4ft, need to do more roads, tree stands and stone walls. Planning to do a river with bridge eventually.
>>43588788
Nice. Did you make the house or were they already done, and you just painted them?
How would I make a snow base without buying GeeDubs' overpriced powder?
>>43588732
pretty much. either poison pools or nid blood. my friend has a nid army so my guys have nid war trophies and his guys are chomping on guardsman bits
>>43588863
Just painted. They're the ruined farmhouse kit from Warlord. It's somewhat modular so you can kind of put them together in different shapes to make them non-identical.
>>43588889
Cocaine. Always the cheaper option
>>43586495
Anon, I had the same problem. My trick is keeping my wrists pressed together, and my elbows on the table, it really helps stabilize everything. For the bases, I do the interior of a shipdeck. Just spray Leadbealcher, then wash, and Drybrush if you want. Looks good, and isn't too hard
>>43588889
Buying snow powder from a different manufacturer?
![IMG_1529[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/wY1Cd40.jpg "IMG_1529[1].jpg")
First Scion I plan on using for my renegades. Tried my hand at colored metals through many, many washes of red. Thoughts? Plan on giving it a coat of duller if its a bit too shiny now. Also considering giving a few brighter highlights, but it is for Vraks, so duller tones suit them a bit more.
>>43589024
i like the gold metals, but i think theyd pair better against a lighter colour, or a lighter shade of red.
i think you need a brighter colour to offset the dark red, dark gold and dark grey. maybe bright blue/green eyes and bright colours on the hoses. i'm working on some old kasrkin models i got and i'm using black armour, white fatigues, red eyes and bright blues/oranges for the hoses
>>43589048
Think going with a "reflection" effect on the metal from the plasma gun would brighten it up? A light dry brush of telcis blue would achieve that effect, but I'm unsure if it would clash with the current scheme.
>>43588692
>>43588707
I am newer with painting and didn't know it was a thing.
On a side note when I went to the local hobby store (like arts and crafts) in my area to get acrylic brushes the smallest on was this 10 spotter and it just seems so huge for smaller details.
Also my biker's helmet look like garbage. I wanted to give him red eyes but can't fathom how without making him a clown.
I stil haven't washed/glazed anything and the biker isn't attached as I still have more layers to do on him.
The banner is so detailed I don't even know how to tackle it and immediately regret the first layer of purple....
>>43588889
Grind up some 24 carat gold and drybrush it white
>>43589128
Vikings fan?
>>43589112
i think thats the smartest way to give the models some bright colour without sacrificing your colour scheme. see what other people reckon, i've only been painting about six months.
>>43589161
Soul Drinkers, also I am a Chicagoan.
>>43588177
>Warzone: Resurrection Bauhaus army
>So gents, any thoughts?
Yeah, the Mutant Chronicles movie with Thomas Jane as Mitch Hunter was almost too painfully awful to watch.
Siege of the Citadel is best board game ever, though.
>>43589128
>>43589128
Ah, The Cadbury chapter. Based on the Bournville VII homeworld, Guardians of the emperor's sacred fruits and nuts.
>>43589182
I'd paint my army like the Vikings too if I was from Chicago.
>>43589202
>>43589210
Purple and gold(en yellow) is a pretty well-established color combination, m80s
>>43589128
Also should I wash them seprately or once I attach the rider?
![IMG_1531[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/u4SwLpq.jpg "IMG_1531[1].jpg")
>>43589167
Only 2 years under my belt anon. I welcome all opinions. its a test model, so might as well take some risks
>>43589232
>)
You should really finish both of them before you attach the parts
>>43589252
What color should I do the weaponry? I have Leadbelcha, Ironbreaker, Mithril Silver, and Hashnut copper.
I can't believe I forgot to get black or the wheels.
>>43589241
What colours did you use for the red? Is it just plain Khorne Red?
>>43589267
Those look like Plasma Guns on your bike so remember to do the part of the weaponry with all the close stripes a bright highlight.
Maybe Leadbelcha with a drybrush copper?
Or black once your get the paint for your wheels.
>>43589267
Silvers go really well with purple and white/bone. Those are plasma talons though, you're kind of doing it wrong if you aren't doing a glow effect on the cooling coils.
>>43589273
red was actually Runefang silver with about 4 washes of carroburg crimson, then a wash of nuln oil, finally drybrushed just a bit of a 50/50 mix of khorne red and administratum grey. Bit of a chore, but I'm happy with the result.
>>43589128
If you only did one layer of purple on your banner you can just clean it all off and start again.
Try a yellow base. It would be relatively easy to go over with white and simple to go over with purple.
You are getting better at taking pictures compared to >>43583451
Ok so I fucked up majorly trying to make a press mould for a Ripper Gun and had to take the gun out of the GS before it cured.
There's now little bits on GS stuck on the model obscuring some of the detail.
What's the best way to get it off?
Should I just wait for it to cure and then try and scrub it off?
pls help me WIP
>>43589495
If you didn't lube it up, it's going to be a pain in the ass to remove
>>43589530

Hey! Phrasing!
>>43589571
It is your fault for trying to go in dry and getting sticky residue all over your bits
>>43589614
i hate it when im shaving the turret and i can feel all the sweat and grit getting into my hands and it feels like i get it on my face sometimes
>>43585605
You paint the bright color first then, paint the dark color.
Freaky shaky handed people need not apply.
>>43589128

>>43589241
The muzzle looks terrible. Drill it.
>>43589241

>>43589241
I think it's nice overall but the plasma glow effect is really poorly executed. Though it may look better IRL, I dunno.
>>43589241

>>43580839
What is a good/easy/cheap way to make little inscriptions on plastic pieces? That way I don't have to pay Forgeworld prices for Word Bearer bits, but still have all those cool runes.
>>43590259
Yes I used a grey primer That is very close if not the exact same color as the plastic Which is making it very hard to tell If I missed a spot
>>43591272
Ok, good to know. I use grey primer myself, but couldn't tell from your picture.
For that banner it might help you to use a light wash on it, in order to easier see the details.
Finally found the right thread. First time cloning, original is on the right.
>>43591606
Neat. Skulls look a little fucked though.
>>43591625
Yeah, there are bubbles on the upper edge of the cast, can I re-position where the resin pours from to right at the skull to fix it?
>>43591606
you have airbubbles on your skulls and those little doodads at the bottom. you can fix them with greenstuff but also make note of them for next casting if you do one.
>>43591606
did you use a 3D printer?
Corpse cart is coming along nicely.

Looks great.
Anyone else here getting in on the massive sale on modelling supplies at alibaba for singles day? Ordered a bunch of jungle terrain myself.
>>43591672
You need funnels at the ends to let the air go somewhere outside of your models, then tap your mold as you're pouring and before it settles.

>>43591929
>I know it's a bit off topic but can you guys help me find more Johnny pics?
Anon, Johnny is *never* off-topic!
>>43591737
Those colors. They do things to my body.
>>43592039
He really is though, unless you're painting one. We don't do memes around these parts boy. Jokes are only funny the first time.

>Yeah, there are bubbles on the upper edge of the cast, can I re-position where the resin pours from to right at the skull to fix it?
You might want to cut some vents, as >>43591838 suggested.
I'm not sure how this piece attaches to the model it's supposed to go on (Lizardman or Tomb King, I'm guessing), but if you cut some vents that lead to places that are going to be concealed, you can just file or break off the excess when you are done.
It does take a little bit of forethought - something I myself find that I don't always have.

Hey /wip/, need advice for painting Death Guard since they're my chosen 30k army. Is there a special way to do the corrosion or do I just get the GW corrosion stuff?

The Lord Executioner, Reszasz Krevaan.
Vanilla Captain/Chapter Master to gear with C:SM and RG relics from Kauyon.
Had a wash after base colours down, just about to start highlighting, which I always find intimidating. Done a little bit so far on the pauldrons..

Fairly happy with the power field on the axe.
Forge World brass is fun to work with.

They were joking on Still Untitled about Jet Packs recently, based on that Arab Emirates Air commercial with the jet packs, Adam Savage riffing about like 400% mortality rates,pretty funny shit.
>>43585340
Yea it should work fine, I mean what good would an airbrush be if it couldn't even do a basecoat. Not sure about which colors to use, Im assuming you mean the game air range? bloody red and hot orange maybe?
Putting together some Bloodletters. Congo line of Khorne looking fine right now.

Yes. Even more jump packs.

Fuck you, it's progress
>>43589128 Back again.
I immediately regret trying the earthshade, the rest of my whites will be washed with Nulin Oil,
This has taken most of my extra free time over the last two days. (~2-3 hours?)
It is looking alright besides the minor details, a base, and the 2detailed4me banner.
I need to figure out how to paint efficiently.
Still need:
5 more command bikes, each unique
Stick my interregator chaplin on a bike
6 regular Ravenwing bikes
4 land speeders
1 Dark Shroud

Still not the best camera but from what I can tell you are looking good.
Don't get hung up about how much more you have to do because it can always be worse.
You are a new player who isn't fielding a grey blob of terribleness.
I would give your paint job a 6/10 but A+ for effort.
Remember a "tabletop minimum" is three colors. I see at least five there.
In >>43589128 you said
>...give him red eyes but can't fathom how without making him a clown.
You just need to find a smaller brush. If your art store doesnt carry one than look online.
>>43596036
I'll try to get a better setup for him, probably tomorrow. Kinda just working with what I've got.
I'm interested in joining this hobby. In terms of paint, what should I get? Are there any good "starter sets" available?
Got the rest of the unit done up, onto eyes later this evening and waiting for painters tape
>>43589128
The lenses are one of the first things you should paint on a marine after basecoating it, then clean up around it
>>43596362
Should I bother to do an Ironbreaker base since the metallic purple method I was trying didn't work?
I am not going to pursue a metallic metal anymore since I already have one guy 80% done.
My Khorne Daemonkin buddy just primed all his stuff red and did gold/white/black detail. His look almost as good and took like no time.
I am regretting the grey primer, I think I missed a few spots on my last model because I couldn't tell the difference between the plastic.
If I could find a purple primer it would probably look WAY more even and I am sure the yellow would go over it just fine. Not sure about the white and then I would actually have to do all the metal on the pipe again.
Its a thought, especially for the non-command unit of bikes.
Posted this guys spear conversion a few threads ago pre-painting, just finished painting him tonight so thought I would share. It's the first model I've done after a 12 year break from the hobby, how did it go anons
>>43596752
Army Painter does colour primers and they have pic related. Might be something for you.
Also, yellow does not go over *anything* just fine.
>>43596840
A tip for the yellow would be to paint a suitable undertone (grey or something) and then layer the yellow on top of that. Layering yellow on pretty much anything is hell with but a few exceptions.
>>43596810
Cool model but the base really doesn't work for it. Consider doing jungle for contrast or drab so it doesn't catch the eye so much
>>43596810
Clean up the washed areas, especially on the left elbow and hand. Some of the gems need some more blending as well.
Most of the gems and the blue and white came out very well, as did the blade. But those messy washes on such a large model really give off a "easy mode airbrush" vibe when it's on such a large model, like you just rushed into airbrushing and ignored your paintbrush technique. No excuse for not tidying up such large panels.
A highlight and a bit more snow and deatiling on the base will really finish the model but it's also good as is.
>>43596944
>>43596999
Thanks for the input, the elbow bit you mention I guess you're referring to the joint bit where the forearm connects right?
>>43597233
Yeah the washed area looks a bit thick. Generally if you're going to do a pin wash like that, but it ends up being a bit thicker than just the cracks, people will tend to go back with the normal paint and cover up the excess wash.
If you want "more" "washed area", you should try blending or simple gradients, because a thick band of wash looks messy.
If you like thin lines of pinpoint wash, an easy and fast way to do so without having to waste time carefully making sure the wash doesn't touch anywhere above the cracks or having to go back over the washed area with touch up paint, you can gloss the model, then do the wash. The gloss protects the surface and makes the wash run and dry only in the cracks. Adding a tiny drop of dish soap to your wash bottles also helps the wash flow into cracks.
You might have already known all this since by your paintjob I can tell you're not some clueless novice, but that was just to clarify what I meant by the washed parts needing cleaning. That's not to say it's a messy wash, it's a clean model, but it could be cleaner.
>>43597328
From your second photo it looks like it might not be a wash but your basecoat? So you did like a darker blue underneath then a lighter blue on top. You could try to paint further to the edges with the light blue or try some glaze or other way to blend the transition together. Reason being this method is more glaring to the eye on such a large model. It works well for small infantry though.

>>43597385
To be fair those shitty reaper bone figures specifically boast about how they don't require primer.
>>43588677
>>43585936
Because this person suggests using every god damn wash at once. When doing a colour, leave out the brown and black washes or thin them heavily and only apply near the cracks and edges. Obviously you lose all the colour if you cover it with browns and blacks. This person probably just did way thinner coats per wash than you. Thin with Lahmain medium (or just go get a matte medium at a craft place) not water.
>>43597464
That guy's a moron in general. Washes are inferior to glazes for coloring metallic. And Citadel even has colored glazes for all those washes he's suggesting. Tamiya Clear is best for tinting.
You also shouldn't need nuln or agrax for either washing or pinwashing since the WASH this guy suggested is already doing that job for you.
>>43594895
Raven guard successor homebrew: Nighttide Tempests. Here's a older pic before i changed the weapon coulours. Brown didn't look too good.
>>43586550
I can build and magnetize fine, albeit slowly. I can't paint. Right now I have a fully primed army.

>>43588982
Thanks for the advice
>>43586886
I've heard a lot of bad shit about BTP.
>>43597350
Yeah it's the base coat coming through, but the wash could be cleaner too so it's a combo of the both, I'm going to sit him down and touch up with my lighter blue and see if it's any better
Anyone know a 3rd party bitseller, that has heads similar to the ones you'd find on a Reaver Jetbike? The glossy dome type? I need about 30 of them for mine, but they cost like 8 bucks for 2
>>43597462
Okay, then can we talk about their even shittier picture taking ability?

i'm painting a russ at the moment,using a lot of thin coats heavily thinned with water. I paint under a regular desk lamp that gets a bit warm- can I put the lamp right over my russ so the heat will dry the paint faster, or will this fuck it up in some way?
>>43597885
If they are as thin as you say they should only take ~5 minutes to dry.
>>43597982
How thin are you thinning your paints that they dry in five minutes.
>>43597385
I've worked on some that didn't even take primer well.
>>43597885
probably would be better off with a fan.
>>43597851
Step one: Base of Nagaroth Night over a black primer.
Step two: Dab with lucius lilac (it will look a bit bright a this stage)
step three: glaze with druchii violet to darken it.
And done
When dabbing it really helps to use a splayed out brush that you don't mind ruining.

>Anyone know a 3rd party bitseller, that has heads similar to the ones you'd find on a Reaver Jetbike? The glossy dome type? I need about 30 of them for mine, but they cost like 8 bucks for 2
Huh... for that price, you might consider making them yourself!
>>43598251
Ah I see, I may try it with my Landspeeder Darkshroud , it looks really cool man.
I was thinking of picking up the Lucius lilac to try and fail miserably at some edge highlights on my bikes.
Also need the Druchii Violet, is that a glaze or a wash?
My local GW employee told me to mix the Blue and Red glaze and put it over ironbreaker and that ended up being a lavender after 5 layers.
>>43598345
Its actually a part of the shade range. My bad.
I would recommend testing it on a spare part to see if it works with your colour scheme first

Fuck, destroyers are so sexy.
Is that the metallic you're using for all your IWs, or is it a more raw, grubbier version that is supposed to look scorched 'cause radiation?
Seriously beautiful, cannot wait to see them.
>>43589128
Asked this in the 40k thread but may be more warranted here:
Keeping with this scheme should I make him all yellow? His bike would still be the same purple bike that are all getting.
Bonus round - how the fuck do I paint a Sammael with this scheme without looking like a Jetbiking Minnesotan?
>>43595324
Anon, please do not wash your entire white sections. Use precision and it will look much better.
so this isnt the final turret i'm going to use but what do you think of it? (The reason im not keeping it is because i printed with .3mm layer height but I do like the profile of it.) I think it needs to be more tiger 2 like, Opinions and comments are welcome.
