So I finally bought my first model ever. I picked up a Leman Russ Demolisher and was curious if I could magnetize it so I could make it into any Leman Russ and not just a demolisher/executioner/whatever the third one on the box said.
For those who saw the nice new trailer for DoW 3.
Not a big fan of the airbrush overuse but still, nice diorama.
>>47185576
Sure you can. Just do your resear h beforehand, there are certainly tutorials to teach you how to do just that with that exact model, after rhat it's just a matter of choosing the right magnets and not going too fast.
>>47185581
God. Airbrushes are awesome but the noskill painters out there are using it to short cut.

I suggest you make a thread either here or on /v/ if you want to know everything. Base building is back. The few screenshots we've seen are underwhelming though, but we all hope it's just because it's pre-alpha.
Or follow their fb or twitter and read their stuff.
Kudos to the movie studio who made it (not Relic) for the eldar boney look.
>>47185618
I don't own an airbrush, so I'll have to just git gud, at least I'll have time with college done this year

Why do Space Marine terminators/indomitus termie armour have two massive gaps in the back armour corners? It looks terrible, and makes no sense
Thinking of doing something like this as a warmer Ulthwe varient with gold/other metalic colour design replacing the gold and making some designs where I have the space.
Basecoat black, really dark brown undercoat and highlight deep red? Or go blacker than that?
>>47187203
More western styled take I'd also like to use in part with the above.
>>47186809
Where? Find a pic and circle it.
my phone camera makes my pics look too dark no matter what, I've tried different white balances and read the picture guide but nothing, pic related is on auto settings. I also have two pretty bright lamps shining on them
wat do
>>47187410
What phone u got?
>>47187511
LG Lucid 2
>>47187529
Have you tried camera+? It lets you set ISO, white balance, shutter speed manually. Also, you could try using a grey background instead of whte.
Has anybody got the painting white guide on the apothecary model/sanguine priest maybe? Cheers
>>47187563
my camera already lets me to this but to no avail. I might just pick up a cheap camera from a pawn shop, what should I look for? is any dedicated camera pretty much good enough? OP image says it is but we see how it turned out with my phone cam
>>47187627
Recommend me a knife guys.
>>47187339
Here, sorry I wasn't clear enough
>>47187681
They're only holes on the models. Look at some art and you'll usually see sensors and cameras and stuff in there.
There's holes on the models because it's easier to produce, probably.
>>47187681
>>47187722
Like this. There's a lens in the right hole. Still seems like a nice shot trap, though.
>>47185914
Yeah, the Eldar look fucking sick in the trailer. The entire trailer was awesome with all that Beksinski going on, too.
>>47187636
it's pretty obvious to the non-autismal that I'm asking for a budget camera to photograph miniatures
anyway pic related is mildly better I guess, still pretty distorted
>>47187626
Alternatively, it's in the BA oainting guide in the OP, and you can download the SM painting guide to look at the WS tutorial.

I don't wanna be 'pls respond' anon, but I realise I phrased my question poorly. I'm going for that kind of look. Does anyone have any experience or advice for a warm-ish black that would roughly be the colour of laquoured wood?
Does Army Painter have a Seraphim Sepia equivalent?
OKAY! After a deluge of IRL drama I am back at it much the "richer" and with way more "free" time.
I have taken the recommendation of numerous /tg/oloids and remove the old multi elbow arms and replaced them with a more conservative and purposeful set of arms all coming out of the torso athe the shoulder.
I didn't do them *quite* in the traditional sense with them coming out cascading down the side of the rib cage, but instead did them in a triangle sort of root at the torso arm mount point.
I will have just the one "Mark of Tzeentch" shoulder pad on the left group and have bare more defined shoulders on the exposed right group. The "hidden" arm with the kris and the lower pointing arm do not really allow for a shoulder pad, but I am okay with the idea.
As he *is* a CSM DP (as opposed to hailing from C:DoC like the other 2), and will be "Marked" instead of "Daemon of," I wanted to retain at least one shoulder pad.
I am much happier with how this is looking, so thank you /tg/rrlfr'ns!
What are yous thinking now?
Working on some orruks for my skaven AoS army.
I'm going to assume they just saw Boneripper on the battlefield and decided he was da biggest therefore da boss.
And thanquol has to speak with a different voice to give them orders, since they think Boneripper is the one in charge.
>>47187816
Won't open on the app I'm using for 4chan, sorry! I'll do that from now on. Cheers for posting that for me
>>47185914
I didn't mind the screenshots, personally. I think with some actual particle effects going on, it won't look as static.
I just hope they use the improved engine from CoH2.
>>47187971
sorry to hear that, look forward to seeing this guy finished.
>>47187971
Demon Princes in CSM aren't marked anymore, they're Daemons Of now and have the accompanying extra cult rules that come with it.
>>47187986
Nice model, fluff made me smile. Keep it up, anon
>>47187722
Chaos termies doesnt have it (miniature-wise)
>>47187971
Kris should be pointing the other way IMO (like, do a 180 around the wrist)
If you try to hold something behind your back like that it just doesn't really work.
>>47188069
>Demon Princes in CSM aren't marked anymore, they're Daemons Of now and have the accompanying extra cult rules that come with it.
Doh, that is a good point.
>>47188226

Well, I still think I want to keep that marked shoulder pad as the staff arm with the MoT head didn't make the nouveau arms cut.
>>47187971
*Flipped the kris hand and repositioned the arm slightly to compensate.

Three years ago I vaticined that GW was going to do some horrible shit to warhammer, so I bought the entire range of miniatures of the two armies I always wanted to have since I was a kid: Vampire Counts and Eldar, just in case GW suddenly decided to send everything OOP.

I can't fucking match The Fang colour properly everytime (I don't have citadel or reaper pre-mixed paints, I mix them myself using acrylic paints) and I tend to thin my paints way too much (because the paint is thick as shit) and it becomes a bad wash that I need to layer in like 5 fucking times and I still see black primer in some parts. I have to buy The Fang, Fenrisian Grey, Russ Grey and Agrax Earthshade otherwise my army will have different shades of The Fang and I can clearly see the difference between 3 minis right now. How does one git gud at mixing?
On another note: I'm currently working on a diorama that I'm going to fit in an empty shelf in my room but I need to find a few green LEDs, some wires, a switch and a watch battery. Need to buy some foamcore and the details I'll make out of clay and some misc. bits I have laying around.
The diorama is an inside of a space wolf battleship and the main "control panel" showing the galaxy onto which they decide the next part of the galaxy to move/attack/etc is using a transparent kind of plastic that reflects an image provided by a slot in the diorama by my phone. (Yes the hologram gimmick using a "pyramid" clear plastic shape on youtube, I'll provide link if anyone wants to see what I mean)

Depending on which generation of GW paints that is from Vallejo should have a match for that.
>How does one git gud at mixing?
You can look up color theory for traditional paints and see how far that gets you.
Alternatively there are also online thingies for colormixing. Some of those will give you the opportunity to enter the destination color as rgb or hex or something like that and then give you the paints you need to mix that.
Just make sure you find one that is meant for traditional mixing of paint and not cmyk or mixing light (as you would for digital applications on a monitor).
Hey guys. Anyone have any suggestions for converting plastic sisters out of official GW kits only?
>>47190149
Yeah, I have some large metal wings. I am pinning them now.
>>47191547
I don't care if it's from Vallejo, Reaper or GW, they're all the same, they're paints, more or less, vibrant or of a different quality. I only need the premixed stuff. As a matter of fact I am into actual traditional painting and have an art degree in that kind of stuff, so mixing isn't a problem for me, thing is, in traditional painting, you rarely have a long project that need exact colour mixing like that of a space marine chapter so mixing paints a little bit off from one painting area to the other is mostly a stylistic thing and adds depth to the whole canvas, but when it comes to an army that has to look the same from the first model to the last, I can't do an accurate mix and it's fucking with me so much it ruins me. I can bet that if I paint my whole army through manual mixing I will see exactly which batches of marines I've painted and when.
I probably need more color theory as you mentioned, so I'll get on that.
>>47188957
Just started a new Word Bearer army. All I've got so far are 5 Gal Vorbak and 10 Tartaros termies. Half the termies are done.
>>47191724
Yeah fair enough. Just saying if you get your color premixed from your manufacturer, you'll also assume that bunt umber is always the same shade. In practice that may vary I get that, but the only way to avoid that is to buy several pots of paints at once, mix enough to paint the entire army with and keep your own mix in empty bottles.
That way you can totally avoid tonal variation if you are particular about it.
Most of the paints I've used to paint my army with are OOP now so I kind of made peace with the idea that I'll never get a 100% match again.
Depending on your army or painting style it's not that big of a deal though. Stuff like Orks or IG or any fantasy army for that matter will likely have some variation in color. Add a little grittyness. The guy with the slightly lighter fatigues is a veterans that had them bleached by the sun on his previous deployment etc.
With marines or something like that your best best is, as I said, premixing enough pots in advance when you start the army and store them in Vallejo style bottles, cause the GW ones of any generations with the exception of the old hexbottles with the flat snap on lid are gonna dry out.
>>47191861
Holy shit, why didn't I think of storing the mixed paint in larger quantities in whatever container. Jesus, I'm a moron. That way I'll never get a different shade of whatever colour I need in larger quantities of. Thanks dude!
Have a cat.
My mobile waaagh is going nicely. I need to wait for a trukk kit to come in to make 2 more warbuggies and then some nobs in a trukk.

I finally got into 40k after a long time being curious as to what it was all about, here are some of my first attempts to paint an Ultramarine army (With some IG in the background).

And here I am adding the wings to a CSM back pack via pinning, and then a larger brass rod between the torso and back pack.

>Dev sarge's only job is to use his signum on your heavy weapons guys, never to actually enter combat.
I disagree, which is why dis spiffy lad carries a grav-gun combi-weapon.
On the turn that a Skyhammer Annihilation Force arrives from reserve, the devastator squads step out of their Drop Pods. For that one turn only, they have the "Relentless" special rule, which allows them to fire heavy and salvo weapons as if they had not moved. If you are the Ultramarines (or a successor chapter), declare that turn that you are enacting the "Devastators" doctrine. This allows all models with Ultramarine Chapter Tactics ("Scions of Guilliman") to re-roll rolls of '1' in the shooting phase, and devastator squads to re-roll any misses regardless of the number rolled.
So, I'll have devastator sergeants with combi-gravs, *plus* all of da 'eavy weapons, *plus* all of da bolta ladz firing as if stationary and re-rolling misses for one glorious turn. I'll even throw in the 30th anniversary Imperial Space Marine to use his disintegrator if I can manage it. *After* that turn, if the enemy doesn't retaliate and slaughter my guys, *then* I can think about using the Signum.
>>47195077
Well if you're a Skyhammer playing piece of shit, that's a different story.
>>47185581
The job is too smooth, it looks like the ingame graphics instead of the trailer.

If you can't work a camera app then buying a camera won't make.your pictures better.
For example, white balance does not change how bright or dark an image is. This shows a complete lack of photography fundamentals.
Go and read about the exposure triangle and then try again.

Well, he's not an accountant.
How does one apply fabric texture to a flat model? Do you think this will even need it?
Are my tau good
>>47196821
nice and clean, good work on the white, though it could use some edge highlights and a bit less flock on some of the bases
>>47196821
Is the front guy in white the squad leader with white markings or it it just a trick of the light?
>>47196812
You can create an illusion of texture when painting it.
>>47196850
Was thinking I could do something like that, though I'm worried I may not be experienced enough. I'll take a look through the tutorial stuff. Know of any good ones I should keep an eye out for? Any tips?
Still working on my dark apostle. Also some height comparison since people keep asking.
>>47196821
Looking clean enough, good paintjob. But i would still suggest adding a chipping effect via sponging. It usually looks really great on flat, bright surfaces.
>>47195589
I truly envy your modeling skills.
>>47196885
if you're using citadel paints, maybe a coat of typhus corrosion to give it texture, then do some highlighting in a crisscross fashion? that'd make it look like rough burlap, especially with a bit of drybrushing
>>47196914
best way to do that is with liquid greenstuff in my experience
typhus corrosion lends itself to small patches rather than across whole models, but a pre prime stipple of liquid greenstuff will give you a good but subtle texture that doesnt affect your paintjob
>>47196909
Also, i've been working on my plague marines. When i started them, some 6 years ago, i wanted them to have an unusual look, something different than the usual green or white that nurgle armies somehow always go with. Anyway, i decided to do a brownish paintjob with highlights towards yellow and white helmets and clothes. Pic related was the outcome, but i really didn't like it. The colours didn't really mesh in any way and the already wretched and spoiled looking armour made it very hard to show off any kind of dirt, festering or even weathering.
>>47196929
So, in the end i finally gave up and threw the brown-ish armour over board and went with a bright white. Looks much better imho, i can't wait to add some dirt to these guys. Let me know what you think.
Rolled 95 (1d100)
>>47196812
Pic related's process on creating leather.
>Build up a base, washes for recesses, light drybrushing to bring out the details and and a little texture. Then start to carefully criss-cross the surface with a very light brown, intensify around the edges. Uses washes to tone it down if it gets to bright. Repeat.
>>47189463
I don't get this attitude. Women == misery in the majority of cases. Just because this guy isn't married, he's unhappy? How many happy married men do you know?
You know you can have girlfriends and stuff after high school right? Just avoid the single moms, bitches are crazy.
>>47196929
the white helmets really dont work well in my opinion
the hazard striping on the bolters is pretty well done, but it doesnt stick out against the dull yellow brown.
>>47196945
that looks far better, the other ones were just a big brown mess, though the texturing on the legs of the guy in the middle needs some definite work
>>47190042
It's better to cut off the outliers. Otherwise Mexico would look like a great place for jobs, considering the richest man in the world lives there.
I consider people on welfare to be homeless bums on charity so I don't count those either.

Got sent here from /owg/ on /vg/, bored as fuck and made this little cardboard Bastion and someone told me to try working with plasticard and to ask for more info here.
How do I into plasticard to make a better Bastion?
>>47196795
or maybe he's a really fucking good one and can afford that shit
>>47197113
same principles, but you're working with a sturdier material.
you can buy textured plasticard to look like wood, or grated metal or whatever.
pic related, the white parts are plasticard
i like your bastion though hes fluffy
>>47197113
>Buy plasticard and plastic glue
>Do what you did again using said plasticard
There you go anon.
>>47197127
>>47197137
Oh wow it's really that easy? Thanks lads.
Oh also does plasticard work well for cosplay? Planning to build an Ideon costume for a local comic con this year.
>I like your bastion though he's fluffy
Didn't look at it like that haha, thank you.
Bastion a cute best Overwatch character.
>>47197168
plasticard is probably too flimsy for cosplay, not sure about an alternative
Finished assembling most of my first model. Looking back, I'm slightly annoyed that I didn't get this part just perfect. How do you guys go about centering and leveling stuff that you stick on freely?
>>47196945
THIN
>>47197113
You use plasticard just like cardboard. Just use a jeweller saw and a hobhy knife to make clean cuts, and a file to smooth out some edges
>>47197176
>>47197168
you can get plasticard a couple of centimeters thick, and it'd probably work better for things like flat panels on gloves/hats etc than carboard or paper
>>47196909
Fucking hell, youdid say he was massive but he's basically a tad taller than a true scale marine.
I love it.
>>47191938
Or you could mix them up and put them back into the small bottles. Then you know that you have a bunch of bottles that definitely match.
>>47197212
>>47197176
Thanks again, I'll probably layer it up on certain parts. Ideon is like 80% boxes/geometric shapes anyway so it should't be too hard.

Mostly. The Knight is all there, and the wound is spot on.
But the Wraithknight looks like he's been pushed onto the chainsword, as opposed to taking a colossal gut punch and landing on his wraithbutt. He's falling forward right now, and that doesn't make a lot of sense if all that force is pushing against your chest.
>>47197113
Except for having to saw it with a jeweler or razor saw and having to heat it when you try to bend it, it's pretty much the same. Greenstuff adheres to it pretty well too.

Not even much money. I'm below the poverty line in Australia. This is 15 years of collecting. It's very cheap as far as hobbies go to be honest.
I spend like 6 hours per model and am happy to strip stuff when my skills improve.
>>47197485
i am also in australia and i'm about 5k higher than the poverty line
why must forgeworld cost so much

Aren't australian wages twice as high?
>>47197472
Score and snap son.
>>47197473
I was thinking of doing that actually, only been working on him for a few hours now.
>>47197519
Not really, no.
Australia has a pretty decent minimum wage but that doesn't affect wages in general.
That and Forge World doesn't really care where the Australian Dollar sits.
Our dollar is 70% an american dollar? Pay twice as much as the americans!
Our dollar is at parity? Pay twice as much as the americans!
>>47197519
Not really.
Our money being more granular means there's even more of a disparity between those who are well off and those that aren't.
Our economy got fucked in the last few years after having weathered the economic crisis well. We got screwed.
Hi fellow WIP posters! I posted here few months ago about my starter box stormcast to chaos/khorneBP, got some good advice and feedback.
What do you think about these guys? Are they missing something vital or are they just not right? They are meant to be skullreapers with daemonblades, these ones are made from prosecutors and retributors.

that and the cost of renting jesus christ it's a wonder i can afford to sperg as much as i do on tiny plastic men
to top it off i was moving my models today and realised i lost a fucking commisar
>>47197602
Personally, I've always found that Khorne-rune helmet to be incredibly goofy, and not in a good way. The rightmost guy also has a super-obvious hole in his ass. Literally. I'd like to see his face of nothing else.
Otherwise, nice conversions. I'm not sure if the fur (?) looks okay, but I'll hold judgement until I've seen them painted. Just double-check for mold lines.

>>47193613
Actually, you could make that even easier if you wanted to. Gloss clearcoat after you paint your base color, wash with oil paint/mineral spirits mix, remove the excess with a moist Q tip.
>>47197640
We get anally destroyed by mail forwarding companies.
But it is what a lot of us do as it's still cheaper.
There was a period about 6 years ago where GW cracked down on international buyers. Pretty sure it was because of Australians buying from the US webstore.
Paying US$ even with postage was 50% of what it went for retail here.
>>47197676
Maybe it's an idea to start a smuggling business
>>47197690
If I went on holiday I'd fill a fucking suitcase with sprues that's for sure.
>>47197714
I was thinking more along the lines of hiring a sea container for Australia, filling it with boxes and labeling it as "raw plastic"
Maybe remove the boxes so customs doesn't know what the fuck they're looking at
>>47197730
i can agree that hiring a shipping container and chartering a freight ship is cheaper than paying forgeworlds aus shipping rate
Shipping is what fucks is though.
End of the day I'd be charging close to retail just to cover that cost.
The trick here is to set up a business at your gaming club and order from companies as a retailer. GW fucks us here too though by having set stuff you HAVE to stock in a store before you can get general stuff.
But for most other companies it works fine.
Im going to be modelling and 3d printing modular terrain and giant robots for my tabletop. Anything I need to read or watch to git gud at painting them other than the OP?

Pretty good. The grey of the rock and the green of the cloth are close to the same value, so kind of blend together, but that might be the lighting. Love the gems, though, and it's a nice colorscheme you've got.
>>47198222
The cloth looks wet due to over-highlighting and blends in with the rock spire a bit too much imo.
Repaint the rock a brown/sandstone shade and it'll pop more.

Imagine if people used to collect just enough fire wood for winter. Who gives a shit how long it takes, it's better to have too much lying around for those times where you have bills to pay or income problems.
Most money nowadays is monopoly money, not backed by gold or anything so if some currency owner decides, fuck america or europe, they can just start dumping money on the market and crash everything.

it's very yellow. was that the effect you were going for?
>>47186276
okay, this should be the final product of the yellow lines.
does it kind of fit with the other ones? if not, any tips on how to salvage it ?
>>47199186
The yellow one looks nothing like the others who all look very good with their glow effect
>>47199186
those are some pretty awsome tanks anon! blend in the yellow with the black a bit and it will fit right in
>>47199220
>>47199278
yeah, i dont know what happened. i used the same technique i think.
>thick lines
>4 glazes
>middle line
though now i am typing it out i might have an idea. i wanted to be really carefull with the yellow and made sure it was covered really well. and with the other ones i might have done only 1-2 layers which didnt completely cover 100%
maybe if i do another brown glaze on it it might work out. but i am gonna have to be real careful with the middle line now.
>>47199312
could also be the contrast on the photo hiding the effect.
>>47199312
The whole yellow could be dropped a shade or two. It's a bit bright when compaired to the others.
That should help the blend too.
>>47199384
>>47199392
y i guess i made the yellow lines to bright. but i thought it would be okay.
the red tanks have blazing orange for their thick lines
>>47199415
Wash it down a bit more then. At worst it will come out orange I suppose.
>>47199186
Pretty cool transport boxes, anon. Did you salvaged them from somewhere or bought them like this ?
>>47199460
It looks like a wiiU box with egg carton foam.
>>47199415
I don't quite understand your process though. Why aren't you just making white lines in the recesses and then adding a glow effect with glazes who are already transparent to begin with?
Thoughts on my bikes so far? I might print out a stencil for lightning bolts, and some samples of mongolian script to paint onto the front.
Also the Scar himself, or an as yet unnamed brotherhood.

wii box with cheap foam.
i noticed the wii-wiiu box has 2 drawers which fir 3 grav tanks each perfectly. so i can carry around 6 tanks in a wii sized box.
>>47199491
well i wanted to extend the glow effect beyond the tiny little lines in the grav tank, so i make the tiny lines super bright, and then around the edges i make lines with a bright color which i was 4 times.
>>47199586
Yeah, they are a bit. I'm not sure if I scrubbed them enough before priming them, to be honest. Maybe held the can too close whilst priming as well, seeing as I need to do my spraying inside my flat with the balcony doors open. A far more obvious case: My Sicaran
>>47199672
I'm more sorry for the tip of the cannon. That tank is losing its boner.
