How to paint white.
How unique should I make my sergeants for my tac squads? He already has like extra bits but im wondering how different the paint schemes are for sergeants
>>46118225
Depends on the Chapter and how they mark/colour their Sgts. Otherwise they don't have to look special at all, just have the right weapons which generally sets them apart from the rest of the unit to begin with.
>>46118225
Aren't red helmets common for sergeants in 40k for Codex-compliant chapters? If this is for 30k though it's a crap-shoot. Like here's what they suggest for various helmets for Imperial Fists alone.
>>46118225
depends on the chapter, some sargs get red, yellow, white, etc helms
Working on the face of my Wolf Brother Sorcerer enthralled into servitude as a summoning medium by the Thousand Sons.
>>46118298
For Codex Chapters, yes. But, that is why I have said that it depends on the Chapter as many are not fully Codex compliant. I think it would make sense for you to mention what Chapter you would like answers to, don't you? Try to be verbose when asking about things. It makes a lot of unnecessary "leg work."
>>46118352
I'm not >>46118225 .
It's priming time!
Going for a classic 2nd edition look, but will add battle damage and scratches later to bring the look up to date.
I decided to remove the details on his shin, I'll paint black flames similar to the 2nd ed box cover instead, might do the same on the powerfist.

working on this at the moment, progress is pretty slow tonight, and by that I mean i've got paints out and i'm just staring at it
>>46118649
You can see how red looks already as your guns and loin cloths are red ;) It will look sharp, but for your I may recommend just changing the turquoise to red and leave the white/bone as is. Or vice versa.
>>46118839
Oh the turquoise on the helm as red? That would actually look pretty sweet.

I guess I need a point of reference. I don't know what is original card or what has been painted. Does he just paint a completely new piece over the old art? Or is it that he is extending the original image from the boards to the edge of the card? Does he get ride of the name?
>>46120035
Extending the original art. The top half of the card art is on the card, everything below that was hand painted on.

So uh.
Is Ceramite White supposed to be this chunky shit in the pot or did I get a bad one?
>>46120722
Shake the pot even more than you already did.
hey wip, i want to make some road sections for my desert themed terrain, and i was wondering about materials for the road. I thought a long big of balsa would serve as a base, with sand texture to represent the sand creeping in on the road, but the bitumen or road-surface i'm not sure about. i want something easily pitted and cracked, like you see on old roads or in post-apoc movies. a second sheet of balsa maybe, scored and cut to represent it, then covered in a thin coat of some kind of astrogranite texture paint?
>>46120722
This: >>46120758
Also make sure the pot closes properly. Ceramite White seems to go lumpy quicker than other colours.
>>46120758
>>46120830
Think I got it usable again.
Now the question of whether it will give the kind of white I want when painting over red....Time to test it!
>>46120722
Ceramite White goes bad really easy you might have gotten a bad pot. It also will dry out if it's an old pot so you have to add water or medium to it to lower chunkiness.
>>46120766
Sandpaper and blend the edges with weathering powder or whatever you're using for your desert sand.
>>46120766
>>46120911

Why must squad transfers be white.
I really don't have the confidence to freehand these in black.
>>46121127
If your army is lucky enough to have FW transfers, FW provides tem in black, white, and hollow outlines (both white and black border).
>>46121162
I might just not go forward with my plan of doing white pauldrons.
I don't think I've got the mechanics for white just yet. Ah well, in the future maybe.
>>46120968

Have you ever felt fine grit sandpaper?
>Thought I got all the black off the brush
>i didn't
>Now have a gross grey on a once white surface
Fucking hell I'm a retard.
>>46121283
Fine grit sandpaper has no teeth and you're going to varnish on top anyway which makes it have even less teeth. It won't be smooth but it's not going to be any less abrasive than your matte varnished miniatures.
Anybody have a good alternative for covering a gaming table in a sand like texture, without using actual sand?
I read concrete patch should be good but I failed to find anything comparable in my local DIY store. Any other ideas?
>>46121529
Ceiling spackle?
>>46121529
>concrete patch
Unless you have a sturdy table I wouldn't advise this.
Use Vallejo texture paste as it comes in larger tubs than GW's tiny texture paint bottles and you need to cover a huge table.
There might be stucco or polyfiller paste or spackle that will also work but those also add a lot of weight depending on the material.
Cheapest and easiest way would be actual glue and sand.
Trying to do a bit of an off-white for space marine shoulders.
Did Ceramite White and now I have a wash of Agrax Earthshade over it currently drying.
Should I stop after that, or what color should I layer on top of that, Screaming Skull?
>>46122114
You need to repaint over the agrax earthshade if you slopped it all over instead of just putting it in the outlines.
Also they have an offwhite you can use so you don't need to wash regular white. Most brands will have one but I think GW's is called Ulthuan Grey.

Black pauldrons are always the safest choice.
>>46123058
Hmm, solid black while the rest of the armor is red?
Maybe,To be quite honest, I'm fine with my spray-primed red but I'm trying to get a little detail on these fuckers so people at shops don't complain.
>>46123124
What about priming and painting the pauldrons separate from the rest of the mini?
>>46123124
It's going to look really BA though and you were trying to get away from that look.

Hadn't thought of that, good idea.

I think having the unusual weapons is a *start*, but an unusual pose, extra decoration, and, of course, a silly-looking Second Edition-style back banner would really complete the package!
>>46123553
for IG in particularly, i like to pose the sargents less like theyre using their weapons, and more that theyre using them to lead. waving their power swords, or looking over their shoulder at the squad.

I totally get what you're saying, but a good portion of my Necromunda stuff is the plastic Orlocks and Goliaths from the original box. Kinda hard to make those ladz stand out.
At least the arms are swappable.

Eh, I can't afford original Orlock models anyway, so Catachans are a sufficiently good compromise. Besides, I'm pretty sure the Catachans were partially based on House Orlock, although the plastic Catachans haven't aged all that well.
On the subject of semi-proxies, has anyone got their Deathwatch Overkill box? I was thinking of getting the generation 4 hybrid with the suits and autoguns and convert them to Van Saar. Think it's possible to do a headswap?
Started my base for Draigo. I'm going for a "heroically walking out of the warp" look where one side of the base will be the warp and the other will be regular ground. Opinions? Suggestions for "warpy" colors?

You mean conceptually, or in the lore? The only Imperial Guard regiment I can think of is the Necromunda Spiders, who are recruited from the Van Saar ranks.
But conceptually, yeah, I can see the similarities.
>On the subject of semi-proxies, has anyone got their Deathwatch Overkill box?
Yes
>I was thinking of getting the generation 4 hybrid with the suits and autoguns and convert them to Van Saar. Think it's possible to do a headswap?
I'm sitting here looking at the sprues (pic related). I think that's viable for a "counts as" - other heads you have would probably fit. Be advised:
The suits look a little ragged
Some models have Tyranid paraphernalia
You also get two grenade launchas
>>46125961
Cheers lad, I'm absolutely bricking it right now. It would have to be the ones I bought from forgeworld that go missing and not the china stuff.
Is the krieg platoon good value? As in, is there a noticeable saving instead of just buying it all separately?
>>46126549
i'm not sure the exact savings, but in my case they fucked up the order and sent me 2x command squad and 3x infantry, instead of 1 and 4.
i emailed them and they sent me out a new krieg infantry squad free of charge.
made some ok progress tonight, the blues coming out pretty thick though, it's annoying normally it comes out a bit smoother. hopefully i'll figure out whats going wrong before I do the shoulders
Still not quite sure what i'm going to do with the sword, either shiny metal or leave it black and glossy with the engravings on it glowing orange

Need some ideas for how to further customize this guy. I got a janky Wraithknight that I've been patching up for my Dark Eldar army, so I'm adding all kinds of parts to make it look more sinister. I was thinking of replacing the fists with Chronos Parasite Engine tentacle arms or alternatively Raider shock prows, but I kinda wanna use one of those for the top of his head crest. Just lop the top off with a hobby saw and green stuff a shock prow on above the face lens. Also, any suggestions where some bladevanes might be good? I have tons of Raider bits for it.

tip, add the shoulder insignia for some nice extra colorful detail. Looks good but i would avoid the heavy boots unless you are going all in for a veteran look but then the whole model needs to reflect that. Also goddamn those old german models.. the rifles never seems to fit. Should have bought the new grenadiers kit ;)

So, both arms are now attached, all I need now is to start painting most of him - and his cloak that I'll be adding - But I don't know what color-scheme to go with. Green and gold is a classic, but I really want a scheme for my Nurgle army that isn't just

Been working on some Malifaux terrain, trying to make the Guild HQ. It's hard to tell in the picture but the floor is covered with a tile shelf cover. I'm going to be adding a brickface to the walls and planning on building it up to 3 stories that can be removed to gain access.
>>46135033
Looks promising.
I'm always a little wary of the concept of removable stories on wargaming scenery.
I'm convinced I'd just flat out forget about my minis in that piece of scenery.
>>46133312
Better without the cloak I think. It doesn't fit Nurgle.
Ok /wip/, i have Mantic apparently sending me a single sample of their models for me to put together and assess, and then ill be ordering addition skelemans from GW to make some Perry archers, because skeleton archers may be a thing in 9th so i hear. Would you guys prefer a long video, or broken up stills with text?
Does anyone know how the MIG/Ammo and AK Acrylics compare to tg's favourite brands, e.g. vallejo model/air?
I just moved to Spain and every hobby shop around carries a bunch of stuff I've never really had access to before, including those two I mentioned and Scale 75. I know how S75 performs, but I've never heard about Mig and AK acrylics.
>>46135223
>or broken up stills with text?
his is generally better imo.
I can read at my own leisure, skip what I don't care about and the photos tend to be better than what most people can deliver with a video camera unless they got proper equipment.
Not to mention that listening to some people ramble without being able to structure their thoughts can be draining.
So if you got a good camera, enough light and are able to deliver a thought verbally without stuttering or jumping back and forth the video could work, but I find that written articles accompanied by photographs usually produce higher quality content.
How much can I change the Grey Knight basic color scheme if I want to stay within lore constraints? I was thinking of giving backstory to them having different colors, I'd still keep the base as leadbelcher but give the armor some more white and maybe blue than what you usually see.
lots of talent on /tg/

>>46135269
I was gonna be a smartass and reply that Vallejo is Spanish (the name means small valley) so I'd be surprised if it was difficult to find them there. However turns out it's a US company, go figure. Vallejo should have a section in their website detailing who carries their stuff in each country.
Have heard good things about S75 and about Mig its about the same quality than Vallejo but slighly more expensive. Know nothing about AK
>>46135337
Nitpicking, but the robots gun arm looks odd to mean. Not sure if that's how the kit is, if there was a mold line, or not assembled flush.
But overall I dig your dudes. Like the Sorcerer conversion
>>46135378
I meant that Vallejo is pretty widely distributed all over and known, as opposed to those other brands which I'd never seen in a store until now.
Guess I'll just take a dip and try a few colors out.
>>46135378
Given that their HQ is near Barcelona, I somehow doubt that.
>>46135311

Its like you hate fun. I do agree on the stills though, less time wasted
>>46135402
>>46135269
AK and MIG are both brands that initially started out as suppliers of weathering materials (AK is a company started by someone that split off from MIG if I recall correctly).
They've both started doing acrylics a while ago, the colours are similar to VMC in many ways, realistic colours for military modelling, fairly limited palettes.
I own a few AK acrylics (like 1 set of 8 I think), and they're incredibly matte colours, they do have nice consistency and coverage though.
so for my ork backstory i'm having the clan, da spice boyz, live on a entirely-desert planet which theyve named Sandyball.
Their deal is the planet is a copy paste of Arrakis, and they haul spice from the southern pole to the north pole, where their spaceport is, to sell to the tau.
my question for you, /tg/, is are there any model kits, or models out there that i could use to represent sandworms, or fremen technology, or anything of the sort?
>>46135337
Yep, those are very nice. Not going to win awards, but they'll earn you some props at the hobby shop.
I'm not in love with the inquisitor/librarian/tzeentch dude, though. The different colored areas, especially the cream/red, cream/silver, and bronze/silver boundaries need to be better defined with darker shadows - they kind of blur together visually. Also, the conversion seems a little lazy. A couple Tzeentch icons does not make this very imperial figure look properly chaos-y. At least cut off his purity seals and inquisition icons.
If you want to get to competition level, I can't really help, because I'm not there myself. But I have read a lot of stuff and watched a lot of videos by competition-level painters. The biggest and most important thing they do differently from us? They put in a positively ridiculous amount of time per figure. A lot of them will do 40, 50, or 100 hours on a single figure. Every detail must be perfect, every blend smooth as silk. Try putting in that kind of time on a figure and see where it gets you; I bet you'd get closer than you think.
I disagree with >>46135354 about the edge highlighting on the robot. It looks good. Cartoony, yes, but exaggerated highlights are a good look. Take a gander at anything the 'Eavy Metal guys paint. Don't tone down the highlights, but spend more time making them neat, and even, then try to do more of a transition (even if it's just a tiny strip) between the most extreme highlights and the base color. If you want to get the robot to a higher standard, the biggest thing I see is a modelling issue: fill and smooth the gap between the two halves of the gun arms. That seam is staring right at the viewer, and it's not a good look for a high-level figure.
Seriously though, these are all fine figures, painted to a very respectable tabletop standard. Nothing wrong with that.

>and they haul spice from the southern pole to the north pole, where their spaceport is, to sell to the tau.
Seems out of character to me desu. Orks either fight or want to get paid to fight. They don't do drug deals.
That aside I'm sure I've seen miniatures of that. Can't remember the company anymore, but if you google Dune 28mm miniatures you should find what you need.
>>46135587
i found reaper minis make some big ass worms.
im fluffing it that the worm population is some kind of stagnant tyranid hive thats adapted to desert, and the orks are having a plenty good time fighting the nids, but running low on weapons and equipment. tau show up and see a lucrative business opportunity.

Goofy eyeballs? Niiiice.
>>46135491
ay ty anon. Loving your criticism. I did the sorcerer purely to try some new techniques because it was a conversion i did when i was 13.
How do you suggest i fill the gap in the gun? I still have 3 more. Would liquid greenstuff work? Attached pic is space marine chapter master. Plz rip it to shreds with criticism.
>>46135725
fuck me i just realised that ive missed half of the gun and the bit under the rope.
>>46133312
Maybe a bruised looking purple?
>>46135780
how'd you do that effect? Looks nice!
Just getting my Helbrute to a semi-finished state

ok, interesting. My mistake then.
>>46135951
oh and all these are WIP

i've been painting for a year and you paint Nobz better than i do
But why would ANYONE do this to a Forgeworld model, a fucking OOP model!

Got these today at a yard sale for 30$. Today was a good day.
>>46136047
mate i think you got ripped off
>>46135725
What gap, anon? I don't see one.
>>46136056
Hahaha

>>46136047
Whoops, I goofed, thank you anon
>>46136071
If you zoom in on the gun you can see a wobbly line of silver. Also if you zoom into the chest you can see that I didn't finish the silver on the top of the wings and skull above the ropes.

Gorgeous model, I particularly like the face, though the red is a tad to red´ish for my own taste. Makes him look more drunk than angry, but thats just a personal preference.
But man you did a great job!
>>46119069
Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant!
I'm choosing a primer spray, but the official GW ones seem too expensive.
Some people say any will do, but i also read some reviews and apparently cheap ones have "snowing" effect on the models and that's probably something i don't want.
So i've been thinking about either this one - http://www.humbrol.com/uk-en/33-black-matt-150ml-acrylic-spray-paint.html
or
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Tamiya-100ml-TS-26-Pure-White/dp/B0014BJ730
Are those suitable?
Also, i probably want matte rather than gloss, right?
>>46121283
You know, before GW handed us hobbyists everything on a silver plate, people used to make up shit like this all the time. All stolen from the real "warship" hobbyists. Hell, weathering powders came from the idea of using make up powder, now its a bestseller for this hobby.
>>46136161
If you live in the UK just go to Halfords and pick up some matt black primer spray, done.
>>46123319
Well memed, sir.
Why on earth don't you have a box of those reversible, disposable gloves
>>46136198
I don't live in the UK, those two links just happened to be UK sites, i live in a shitty country in europe

So the UK?:^)

Not my model. Just a google search for "purple Nurgle"

Nice meme, m8.

Spare parts Blue Scribes. With how much you get in the Burning Chariot kit it was fairly easy.
Question about basing for minis. What is your favourite kind of glue to use? Getting back into the hobby and wondering if there's something better than the shitty PVA I used back in the day
>>46136379
England and Czech Republic are pretty equal on HDI level.
>>46136441
Yeah i didn't really mean the "Shitty" part. But that's beside the point, i'm really more interested in the primers
painting some ww2 german infantry
I only have gw colors, which ones should I use to achieve the grey tone?
>>46132908
I'm kind of late but I jewel my cockpits like this. It really brings a much needed focus zone to helicopters
>>46136013
I like them, the muted colors work well. I am a professional illustrator and work as a lead artist for a game company, that helps a lot with the painting
>>46127973
I glue all mine shut because they get handled a lot and the hinge mechanism is beyond flimsy. Dunno why you'd need it to operate during a game anyway.
Currently painting up my last two sronax, once these guys are done my Darklands force is finished.
>>46136125
Thanks!
I see what you're saying about the redness of the face, I like to exaggerate the effect a bit, makes the face come alive I feel.
I've also used a glaze of yellow on the top part of his face and blue for the lower part. Saw the technique described on David Soper's blog.

Or, if you don't want to sand-down your knuckles every weekend, use fine sawdust instead - all the look of a nice sandy texture without any awkward scars and blood stains to explain.
>>46136715
same goes for instant coffee
>>46133916
Thanks! The grate isn't glued on yet. I'll probably add it last.
And if people moan about semi open toppedness, you're playing with the wrong people
>>46133916
Also your model is amazing
>>46136608
Do you really think someone would do that?
Just go on the internet and tell lies?
>>46136608
Tbh that is "Table top standard" 3 colors with minor detail.
His paint is just crazy thick.
If I ever sell mine I will describe them as "a tabletop standard paint job" and they look fairly better then these poor SW.
I go on ebay from time to time just to motivate myself to paint.
Crazy well painted armies can fetch retail and up if they are good enough.
>>46136725
Folgers makes your knuckles bleed?
>>46136911
Since I've become a coffee snob, yes.
>>46136900
>Crazy well painted armies can fetch retail and up if they are good enough.
I know, just look at these for example, fucking amazing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihkOC1B6Zq0
Two questions from someone just getting into Warhammer:
First of all, how does one remove a Space Marine head? I fucked up and instead of using another standard helmet for the sergeant I used one without a helmet to make him standout, but then I remembered I could just paint it red a few days later. Since it's a Smurf army I want to keep it as codex adherent as possible.
Second of all, when one is priming their models would I want to base the model, prime both and then customize or prime model, customize the model and then base the model?
>>46136900
Tbemh chalky blobs, not staying within the lines and leaving unpainted areas aren't even a "decent" kindergarten standard for refrigerator art, much less a TT standard for sale - no matter how many colours were applied.
Speaking of low standards - if breaking even on "crazy well-painted" models seems motivational to you, you may want to step back and re-evaluate your priorities in life.
>>46136999
Plenty of sarges are unhelmeted, desu, and once you've got a couple squads, you'll be trying to make them look different from each other anyway.
But to answer your first question, if you used superglue, you can pop him into the freezer for about an hour and then be able to pop it off easily. If plastic glue, that's going to be more difficult since that stuff melts the plastic and then the parts fuse after drying.
As for priming with or without the base, that's more an issue of preference. If you're planning on doing some fancy work on the base, priming separate might be best. Personally I've just gotten used to gluing my mini to the base and leaving the base work last.
>>46137008
> if breaking even on "crazy well-painted" models seems motivational to you, you may want to step back and re-evaluate your priorities in life.
Meant I go on ebay to see the terrible paint jobs and feel better about my own.
I notice the really well painted ones though and if I didn't like painting probably would have bought one.
Wouldn't get rid of my lot since I enjoy the hell out of them right now but since I am constantly looking at deals the thought passes my mind.
We are agreeing that his army looks like shit.
I was just saying that by definition (at least at my shop) his army is a table top standard.
>>46136999
Did you use plastic or superglue?
If later, put it to fridge for a few hours and twist and snap the head off.
If your answer was plastic glue, then just jam knife blade to the neck joint, wiggle around it till feeling loose
or if you can't reach the joint without defiling the whole model, just use brute force and pray.
It will come off, most likely. Touch up is needed afterwards no matter what.
Any thoughts on what this traitor ogryn needs doing to it? Mold lines etc aside.
>>46137285
is that a guitar string?
>>46137285
Maybe one or two chaos insignia, but he looks great!
>>46137204
>>46137138
Thanks and yeah, I did super glue him together. I may make some of my future sergeants without helmets, but I'm not sure how well I can actually do skin tones and facial features.
>>46137333
Bass Guitar string I imagine.
It's a fairly common thing to use for hoses.
>>46137285
nothing, looks pretty gud
the rebreather tubes could be a bit shorter, but that kind of shit can be a bitch so I can understand leaving it
>>46137349
Yeah, it's a good idea. I'm just surprised I haven't seen it before or thought of that myself to be honest.
>>46137342
Put it in the freezer for a bit, then try to break the head off
>>46135326
Little changes are best. Then focus on having a strong offset color that really pops from the base armor color. After that and the detail (usually gold), I'd say it's important to get a weapon color that contrasts well with the base and offset color.
You are right to keep the base leadbelcher. You can change the base armor color to something like gold or red or bluish, but you really have to highlight well or it will look very flat. It also makes gold detailing often a no-go, or at the very least stand out a lot less. A lot of people forget this.
Also check out the 1d4chan grey knight brotherhood creation tables for lore ideas.
>>46137285
Doesn't NEED anything really. The rest you can do with your paintjob. Tattoos, Scars, sickly flesh, sunken eyes etc.
If you want to go the extra mile I could see something like a few chaos icons or trims on his armor, to make them look a little less standard issue.
Some grizzly trophiespelts could actually work tooand maybe an improvised melee weapon on his belt or something could fit the theme since I think Ogryns would really enjoy being able to get into the thick of any fight.
>>46137285
looks good, what is the model sitting on though? (The metal visey thing)
>>46118171
So my girlfriend is out for the weekend and i have some free time to work on my models. Finally managed to finish the base layers on my fancy marines, next up is some washes and highlights.
>>46137285
Like the other anon said, his flesh looks a tad too fresh/unused/uncorrupted to me. Could use some scars, mutations, marks of chaos etc. Really good conversion this far though.
>>46137285
The tubes look awkward when they're kind of floating in the air like that. Make them sag downward, maybe even make them drape his body to make it look more natural.
>>46137340
>>46137405
>>46137562
>>46137333
Thanks anons! It's this posable wire stuff from zinge, it's a bit easier to work with than guitar string.
>>46137617
Metal visey thing is more or less it, the stand is pretty flexible so it's good for painting.
>>46137724
where did you get it?
my start on the Avatar of Khaine. I'm not really sure where I'm going with this guy.
>>46132908
Attached finished choppers, well i mean finished in the sense i dont feel like doing more work on them right now.
>>46134440
I will pin wash when i finish the 3rd hind. 1:144 scale is tiny for pin washing, but i will try.
>>46136558
Tasty, i quite like your style. What scale is your chopper? Looks fiddly as heck. I went for something a bit more random but i could see you style being really nice. If i might suggest the white dot on the green shouldnt be a dot but a small stripe in the overall shape. Only reverse dot should be white, if you wanne follow the books ;)
I asked this in WHFB gen but it makes more sense to ask here. I'm thinking about trying out airbrushing what should I look for in an air compressor? The local hardware store has a 3 gallon compressor on sale for $50 but that seems kind of large but then again I have no idea what I'm looking for
>>46137800
It was Hobbycraft, which is a hobby store in the UK. I'm sure you'd be able to find something similar online.
Any comments on my paint job so far?
This is going to be my company command squad. So far I have been using vallejo equivalents of citadel paints. I intend for the fatigues to be steel legion drab, flak armor and lasguns to be black, imperial iconography to be gunmetal, all left shoulder pads to be blue and to have blue berets for my veteran squads. I am still trying to learn to paint fleshtones so their skin is still just bugmans glow but i intend to fix that soon.
Any tips or ideas to make my guardsmen stand out or look colorer would be great.
Also I have been having serious problems trying to learn to paint power weapons and plasma weapons, (i have been practicing on bits of sprue), Is there any tutorials out there that not only show have to paint but also show how not to paint? I need to diagnose my painting because I can't tell if I'm using the wrong brush or paints are they to thin or to thick or am I not letting them dry long enough or what. Because of that I am afraid to begin paint my power weapons. Any help with this would be awesome.
>>46138238
They look nice and clean thus far but you are too early on to give a true judgement.
Finish your layers and do a wash then report back.
Also perhaps only take a picture of 2-3 guys at a time to get a better quality.
>>46137533
Thanks for the advice!
>>46137901
They're from the Mechwarrior clix game so I don't think they have much of a scale. Though it's probably closest to 10mm.
>>46137285
i'm very proud of /tg/ for not making any bane references
looks good man
>>46135857
>>46135871
the fastest way to improve this would be to add highlights and then splatter some blood on it.
>>46137285
that's a big model
>>46138238
>>46138268
Thanks, I just wanted to check that I am not over doing it and would end up ruining them.
So far honestly I hadn't thought of what kind of washes to use, I currently only have a black wash.
On a related matter do you think i should stripe my camo cloaks or just black wash them? I was thinking I like the stripe idea and that I would repaint it steel legion drab again and try it with tallarn sand then black washing it.
But I know I cant keep repainting them without turning them into blobs of paint so do you think it would be worth it or should i just wash it and call it done?
>>46138462
Coming together very nicely Anon.
>>46137640
You know, i didn't think it would be possible to make those look somehow even worse, but you've managed it. Congratulations, you pissed me off. Now please stop posting those things.
>>46137640
Blue hats are blue. Just kidding, those are good man. Love their poses.
>>46138462
Everything you do is awesome bro.Keep it coming.
>>46138729
>>46138238
Quoted the wrong post there.
>>46138582
I like the idea of the striped camo cloak.
>>46138511
For you
>>46134420
permenant part they added so more boyz could ride. No frame under so they have huge chains supporting it.
>>46136024
It´s GW that sneak into peoples houses and ruin the models before people sell them so you will buy new ones instead.
