>>47220834
Decided to try taking a proper picture. Inc image dump /3 Tell me what you think.
One finished painted warbuggy
Mostly finished but still /wip/ warbuggy, want to know if I should add change anything
What should I do with these two relics, /tg/?
Dark Grey space wolves guy.
Should I do my wulfen skin as flesh tones or MOAR GREY?
I'd probably try a lightergrey to contrast with the armor plates.
Shoulder pads will be crimson with gold trim.
I worry that if I do flesh tones, that won't be able to blend hair tufts in well.
>>47236898
The boyz could probably use another highlight to make them pop a bit more.
>>47236915
Looks great!
>>47236940
Keep them as deadly weapons to throw at your opponents in case of defeat.
>>47236940
Every gamer needs a dread sock or two
>>47236940
if you don't have army purposes, diorama?
What would be a good way to get this skin color or something similar?
>>47237079
>>47237231
These are always options.
>>47237376
I don't play 40k anymore, but I love the models, so this is probably what I'll end up doing. I'm not sure what kind of diorama, though. I had in mind the two charging against each other guns blazing, but the legs are a bit too stiff to get any real sense of motion.
>>47237459
Instead of having them charging, why not try to show them both standing still, deactivated as they both faught to death.
Make them an IF and IW.
>>47236940
Make bookends?
What's the size of the top portion of the 130mm GW base?
>>47237431
Looks like an olive, layered with kakhi and glazed with browns.
I reverse image searched the picture, you could try asking the guy who painted it in the first place on his blog.
>>47237548
That'd be kind of cool, actually. It feels like I'd want plastic kits for that so I could make some cool battle damage, but just painting them properly might be enough.
>>47237747
Yeah, the whole problem comes from the fact that they're so rigid and blocky, so it's hard to make them a bit hunched at to show they're dead.
Have their weapons pointed down, like the loyalist was on the pic. Or look at th3 way the dreadnought slumps down when he dies in DoW 1.
>>47237856
I think you could do a diorama of them facing off and about to fight, like they're long-standing bitter enemies.
Bonus points if DA and Fallen.
>>47237703
130mm/13cm diameter, what the fuck else?
>>47238082
He is talking about the top. All of the GW bases have little bevels. The bottom of the base is 130mm while the top is smaller.
>>47238082
That what's the diameter of the bottom of the base? You do realize the GW bases have a lip and the bottom diameter is larger than the top of the base, right? So I want to make sure of the diameter of the top bit, on which models stand on, not the bottom of the base, which is flared out.
I have no idea where to start.
Its a warbuggy.
Help
>>47237932
Probably won't do Dark Angels and Fallen. The chassis are a bit too neutral to do either of them justice, I think. It'll probably be Imperial Fists/Iron Warriors or Ultramarine/Word Bearer or something like that. I like your idea, at any rate. It was what I had in mind originally.
>>47238263
Start at the front or the back. Perhaps with an engine or a flatbed, depending on what you have in mind.
>>47238263

any advice on how to build a cool space hulk for BFG? Do I just get a real rock and green stuff stuff and glue bits on?
moar skellingtons
added some subtle blue glowing on the eyes (didn't want anything exagerated for now)
>>47238298
Hows this? Might make the cab closed to save on ork drivers.
Bought up that 20 dolla ebay item with Johnny. Now they're WIPs!
>>47236780

>>47236780
hey guys posted in /toy/ but I'll ask here. Do any of you know if you can buy replacement/spare tracks? I built tamiya tanks but never painted them and now I'm looking to paint them but I'd have to cut the rubber tracks.
Anyone know if there is a site that provides tracks/parts that are for sale?
>>47238559
Much better.
how do I make these?
Working on a Krieg banner. These sculpts are so cool
>>47238618
scalemates is your friend
search for your tank kit and see if there are any aftermarket parts available for it.
>>47238321
bingo.
Do you paint the sides / rims of your bases?
http://www.strawpoll.me/10204702
>>47238684
cheers pal
>>47236915
Nice, very cool.
Jesus Christ the current buggy sculpt is over 20 years old... what is wrong with Games Workshop...
Got Alexis Pollux for free in a Templar lot off ebay, so I figured I'd make him into a captain of some kind
>>47238151
>>47238099
>>47238082
>>47237703
Okay. Open that image in GIMP/PS.
Measure lip.
Compare that to the 130mm diameter shown in the image. Work out X knowing that lip is a portion of the outer lips radius of 65mm.
This is dang easy and any formula you would need is readily available online.
Use those brains.
Got all of this for $33, but fuck I don't want to sort it anymore, the bag never ends.
>>47239310
Nice work. I thought converting him would be harde actually. Is there not a fuckuge fist on his own fist?
>Watching those tutorials
I feel like a baby again. I could try to argue that ly brushes are not as nice, but jesus fucking christ I hope I can paint like that one day.
Shame the guy probably died or something
How do I do natural looking highlights for red marine armor?
>>47239891
highlight red with orange
>>47239883
I've watched that specific tutorial before. I still have no idea how he went from "blue on one end, black on the other, add some shit to the middle" to "BAM PRESTO AMAZING BLENDS"
>>47238531
I was gonna bid on that one but I didn't wanna be a dick to another fa/tg/uy. You better make him look good anon.
>>47238818
I leave my bases (sides and top) pristine, untouched black plastic.
People bitch but I like it.
>>47238818
If someone paints them black does that count? It looks the same as not painting them.
>>47240596
>>47240609
Yes, I don't base. I paint the model before I attach it so I don't get the base dirty.
Like I said, I just really like the cleanness of "unbased" models. I couldn't explain it anymore than people could explain why they like based models, it's just what appeals to me most.
>>47240664
I don't think your choice is wrong. My first choice used to be clean black bases like you did.

Just make them out of a bunch of wires.
>>47238531
Basecoating done!
Question for you all, I'm doing that "layer washes on a steel basecoat" technique. How to fix my inexitable fuckups?
>>47241233
First of all, you should start with a really shiny silver undercoat.
I am the metallic Thousand Sons guy that has been posting recently (and the multi armed DPoTz).
I use Krylon Metallic Silver Primer+Paint spray paint as the basecoat.
The next key is to thin your washes with Lahmian Medium and do multiple layers. This will add depth, but avoid the pooling you have here.
If you want I can take a pic of my painting log book of my process. Walking my hound meow.
>>47239964
Won't that be too glow-y? We're talking Blood Ravens red.
So I recently came into some old metal 40k minis and I've noticed something: they have mold lines!
How do you even get rid of mold lines on metal models?
Does anybody know of a place that sells souped up engine blocks like this, that would fit into a 28mm model, like an Ork Trukk for example?
>>47241798
You can scrape them with a knife and sand them or use some fine files.
>>47241888
Oh my poor hobby knife. Thank you, I have the knife and sandpaper, so I'll go with that.
>>47241233
Thats not really a technique.
Putting thin layers of translucent or 'clear' colors over a bright metallic is probably what you're thinking off.
Using undiluted washes on top of a color or each other is just gross.
Anybody good with Genestealers around?
Want to paint my Patriarch with the glowing brain effect, but the WD tutorial just gives me a straight purple head for him. Any method of getting a sort of luminescence, kind of like sectoids?
>>47241973
http://taleofpainters.blogspot.de/2014/08/tutorial-how-to-paint-fire-flame.html
same principle I guess. Just paint the recessed areas brighter so they look hotter and the raised areas, progressively darker.
How dark you end up should depend on how glowy and transparent you want the flesh to look like.
First of the Initiates for my crusader squads
I went overboard with the bits, I want each marine to be as detailed and ornate as possible
Tau Culexus head (Pathfinder + Suit) and Animus Speculum (Plasma Rifle + Pulse Carbine). Now to figure out what to do with the body and what to attach the right hand to...
>>47236940
>What should I do with these two relics, /tg/?
>>47237649
>Make bookends?
Good idea. They'd *still* get more attacks than a Blood Angels dreadnought!
>>47242729
My stock multimelta, fist, stormbolter dread blew up a Blood Angels Furioso dread in a recent game. Then it tanked a squad of Death Company for the rest of the game.We were both using 5th ed codexes
Reposting from last thread
I had to base some models for a killzone game tomorrow. This is only my second time basing but I think they came out okay.
>>47243465
Real nice colour scheme senpai, loving the carapaces. 10/10 would purge.
>>47243510
Thin. Your. Paints.
>>47243510
>>47244057
Honestly they wouldn't look half bad if they got a wash on them.
Oh. and invest in some flock, you can buy it at any hobby store or place that sells model trains
>>47238559
Well done, that's coming together much better.
>>47238857
The space marines is what's wrong GW.
They're trapped in a feedback loop of newest codex gets most play, most popular gets more revisions.
Result: Rest of the game suffers.
>>47241798
>>47241930
Holy shit do we live in an age where people haven't handled metal minis?
Your hobby knife is significantly harder steel than the pewter minis (unless it's helldoradofor some crazy reason).
You can actually slice and shave off the surface of the metal.
Also replacement blades are dirt cheap, you should be replacing the blade every few sessions anyway.
Be really careful of your fingers.
>>47244327
Hey newfag, marines have always gotten the most support, even when they weren't the newest or strongest army. They've always been popular and sold well. The fucking setting is based around them. They are the Jedi and Storm Troopers and Darth Vader of Star Wars combined.
I'm sorry if you don't like that, but just sit back for the ride and be glad non-marine factions even exist.
>>47238857
>>47244327
If you're playing Orks you should be kitbashing/scratchbuilding your own buggies anyway. A lot of the fun of an Ork army is all the conversion opportunities their aesthetic and lootin habits provide.

Repostan, Isorian Phase Squad for BTGOA, pretty happy with them, not 100 percent sure I love how the tufts of flock are though
>>47245182
also I changed the barrels again again on these purifiers' psycannons. Made them thicker and meatier.
>>47245182
Why does the one on the left get more gold than the others?Does it makes the rest jealous? I'd be.
>>47245246
Saw these the other day, they're still great. I like the color scheme.The tufts of flock are a little odd in that they're mostly positioned in front and between their legs. Would probably help if it was a little sparser on a few of the bases.
>>47245316
>The tufts of flock are a little odd in that they're mostly positioned in front and between their legs
that i blame on inexperience with using grass in basing, i usually do debris instead
i'll see if i can cut it back a little on the next batch i do
>>47245316
he's a purifier to match with these guys >>47245283 ,so that's why he's got the golden chin. But yeah the rest of the brotherhood be jealous of them.

>Missing the point that hard.
>>47244554
Agreed. The new ork kits did bad things for the creativity of ork players. But it was nice to get some up to date bits to chop up.
Hello WIP! I posted few days ago about my stormcast to Skullreaper project. I decided to leave the fur as it is, since I ran out of GS, and started painting them. I think this color scheme is pretty good, but I just can't decide what to do with the Daemonblade! Should I make it black with lime/green highlighting, make it white or just leave it red. If you guys find something out of place in the scheme/painting do tell!
>>47245550
>>Missing the point that hard.
No, the point was retarded to begin with. Especially when the popularity of Tau and Eldar is a thing.
>>47245182
I always feel like the red is too flat, but goddamn it's a great scheme you've got there
testing converting websites to pdf, so I get rid of all the websites I bookmarked
And to be sure I wont lose them
>>47245550
>But it was nice to get some up to date bits to chop up
It really was. Those Dread and Kanz kits are fucking terrific, and the Orkanauts provide a ton of great bitz.
Trying to get started on a project, long story short I'm trying to go for a "Corruption in progress" type of Diorama.
would like to know if people can suggest Feathered wings and Bat like wings from models that are roughly the same size and would fit the Scale of a Daemon Prince or models slightly smaller?
(Trying to look beyond DE Scourge wings. because reasons...)
>>47245983
Lot of good feathered wings from various whfb kits. Check out the various eagles and phoenixes from the High Elf and Empire lines especially.
>>47239883
had no idea how important a good brush was until I watched those videos
>>47245950
shouldn't you try to isolate the frames or something?
>>47240315
When people are looking for Johnny's, what do people actually type in eBay for example. Like what's the model actually called.
>>47246015
I'm aware of that, lots of beautiful models out there.
Problem is the project I'm working on is asking for 1 wing being Feathered and the other being Bat/Dragon-like on the other side, I know my way around conversions, but can never accurately judge the size and scale of model parts until I get my hands on them.
The focus of my project in a nutshell is a character that's been tricked into making a deal with chaos, thinking he'll become an angel but instead being transformed into a Daemon.
(It sounds daft when I put it like that, but how many Idea's sound awesome first time out of your head? :P)

Dude your grey knights are fucking killer. I have seen em quite a bit lately and am always blown away, they just look fucking classy as fuck. They remind me of pic related and games of yore.
I want to paint my beastmen like cows. See pic related. But I do not know how to paint them like that in a god way. Does anyone have any tips and tricks on how to do it?
>>47245842
Yeah it's pretty flat. I should get a better highlight color for it.
>>47246239
Thanks man, but I'm not a great painter or anything. I just follow the guides to the best of my ability, and try to go for a unique look. Appreciate it as always though.
Any europeans here that can point me to a good and cheap online store from which to order epoxy putties? Both green and brown stuff for sculpting, and something akin to milliput for parts casting and filling purposes.

>I liked Johnny before it was cool
>>47239385
Why do people who have no stakes in the matter open their mouths? Anyone with a dunecrawler has that base and can do a quick measure, but instead we get the internet detective measuring pixels and formulating estimates, instead of actual hard numbers.
>>47237703
I like how they spec the OD of a circle twice rather than spec the ID, height or the camber angle of this 3-dimensional object. It shows a real dedication to being stupid - even if it means extra work.
>>47238321
>how to build
Go to a craft store and get a football-sized chunk of styrofoam and a big bottle of PVA. With your pic as an example, you can take it from there.

That's a heck of a before and after.
>>47238618
>I'd have to cut the rubber tracks
Not seeing it. Why?
>>47240513
I used to do this, too.
When people snarked, I'd point at their lush green bases and say, "My boys don't always get to play on a bowling green, but their shadows follow them wherever they go."
But, more recently, with the influx of more plastic figs into the army, I took to weighting the bases with flat washers on the bottom and parakeet gravel on the top, so I just went ahead and based the lot like that to keep a unified theme - and I like it.
But I'm still not tempted to give anybody shit for liking the Shadow Look.
>>47241233
>done
Errr ... Clean the models FIRST. Then:
1. Prime with chrome.
2. Line with black.
3. Slather with ink.
4. Detail.
I just started with playing 40k (as Astra Militarum) but I cannot think of a good color scheme to my tanks and troops. Any suggestions?
>>47241603
>>47241686
The very silver primer part I got down, I have Vallejo's liquid silver for that.
It's the thinning the wash that I have problems with.
What ratios to use?
Can I replace Lahmian with something else?
Is there a comprehensive (preferably not a video) guide to this somewhere?
>>47246123
Some may list him under official name of Brother Craig.
You're more likely to find one searching "Warhammer rogue trader marine" or something like that and have to sit and look through the auctions and try and pick it out in the picture.
I was really lucky. Saw a listing for Njal Stormcaller for £3 with a broken staff. Looked to be nosey. In the listing the guy said he had a load of stuff to sell and check other items.
I did because he coud have been selling some treasure.
Lo and behold, Brother Craig for £7 with postage.

Still think the carapace highlighting would look better on the malanthrope if the streaks were proportionately as long as the ones on the gaunts.
>>47239630
I can understand you, I love to do that. Id get more bags to scavenge if I knew where to find them, I just moved to London.
Finally got around to finishing the base for the flyrant that I posted here a while ago
Just got some stuff from PuppetsWar.
Quite happy with what I got, some tiny flash here and there, but it can be easily be removed by simply pulling on it with your fingers if you don't have clippers.
Shields are good as well, I'll probably have to cut a bit of the wrist from the Stormcasts to make it fit nicely. A tad smaller than what I would have wanted, but it'll do nicely for my hoplites Stormcasts idea I have.

>>47242355
You have good tastes in both Chapters and Beer, Anon.
>>47247129
How do you end-up with models you "don't know what to do" with? How does that work? I freely admit I've had models sit for months without painting, but they were all assembled and primed straight away, and I'd always taken it as a universal practise among modelers, but apparently it's not. tl;dr:
Why have you no idea?
>>47242355
I'm starting BT as well.
Might telling me which colours you used for the black highlights?
>>47248427
I also have stuff I have no idea what to do with.
Much of it comes from lot buys.
Or any many of my cases GW being slimy shits and discontinuing armies right as I collect them.
Has anyone tried the Darkstar "Molten Metal" paint range?
I just discovered them and they have such a nice variety of shades. Except I've never seen anyone talk about the stuff so I'm cautious.
>>47248427
Primarily because I don't play 40k. I also love to build models, and I always assemble my Warmachine/Horde stuff as quickly as I can (And my painting backlog is considerable as a result)
It's mostly because those two models are older than I am, so I want to do something with them that I'll be happy putting on the shelf afterwards. The loyalist Dreadnought was painted a while back, and I used it in at least a few games before I quit 40k, but I stripped it once I decided I was going to do -something- with it.
The Chaos Dreadnought I bought as a compliment to the loyalist one, simply because I wanted both. I considered purchasing an ye olde Wraithlord and Deff Dread too, but they're no where as cool and fucking expensive.
Hey! Let's go put some wounds on a Wraithknight!

>When people are looking for Johnny's, what do people actually type in eBay for example.
I only ever stumble across them by accident, but I'm look for OOP/vintage/classic Space Marines to start with, so it *does* happen. Here is my search string:
(oop,"rouge trader","rogue trader",metal,vintage,classic) ("space marines","space marine","blood angels","blood angel","space mariens","blood angles") -chaos -epic -atax -kenner -ccg -maelstrom -cryomek -grendel -void -vasa -dirtside
I have one search saved limited to the UK, and another to the US. Occasionally I will run this search against Germany, Canada, or Australia, but I have yet to by anything resulting from that.
>Like what's the model actually called.
Apocryphal texts from before the Dark Age of Technology refer to the model as "Brother Craig" - so named for actress Yvonne Craig, who played Batgirl on the old Adam West Batman TV serial. Yes, there are also Brother (Adam) West, Brother (Burt) Ward, Brother (Frank) Gorshin, Brother (Burgess) Meredith, etc.
For some reason, Brother Craig is not in the blue 1990 catalogue. If he ever had an official part number, I have never seen it.

I like the look of the Crisis Suits, but the model is built in a way that all of its poses are retarded.
Anyone have any advice for remedying that?
I'm getting back into the hobby after a long absence.
I dug my old barrel drill tool thing out, and (some fucking how, don't ask me I don't remember how or why it's like this) the entire drill is coated in thick superglue.
Will this just come off with a hot water soak, or do I need to go buy a new one?
>>47250861
>Superglue
You'll probably need to boil it to get that off. Freezer might work. Buying a new one is probably the easiest thing to do.
>>47250861
You can usually chip it off metal surfaces.
Or get some solvent.
>>47250796
The new or old ones? The old ones are impossible without sawing and making a better waist, or sawing through the elbows to do the same. The new Crisis box has seperate waist pieces, easier thigh attatchments, and im not sure about arms.
>>47250439
STOP POSTING I DONT WANT TO START A CSM ARMY FUCK
>>47250861
Use acetone. Shit's nasty on everything that is not metal.
And dispose of it safely, i.e. wash thoroughly the place where you washed it off the bit, then put it in a container and dump it in your town's special area for that.
I decided to paint Mantic minis from the game Dungeon Saga. I will probably end up using them in Frostgrave.
>>47250967
Also some props from the same game.
Progress on the imperial bunker.
>>47251023
Is that green supposed to look like copper rust?
Because if so, it does, and is nice.
>>47251039
Literally just Nihilakh Oxide from GW, but thanks.
So Im lookign for a bit to use as some kind of stegadon scale helm like on the model in the pic, but I cant find any GW bits like it. Anyone have any suggestions? Even an altrernative idea. its for my eternity warden conversion that'll be based on the oldblood on foot from tthe carnosaur kit. Its basically just something to make him stand out as an eternity warden and not just like another oldblood.
>>47251112
forgot pic
Awful pic because these bad boys are shiny. Got best 40k large model and best overall model for my Tzeentch greater daemon, good result.
>>47251065
That stuff is pretty nice. I use it on all my Pathfinders that have Ion Rifles, makes the rocks glow real nice.

You're doing gods work anon, thanks for sharing.
Anyone have any experience with army painter matte varnish spray? What spray would you recommend
How do I find the motivation to finish the last 6 models in a 2000 point Nurgle Daemon army? I have lost the will to paint these things, but my group is waiting on me to get this army on the table.
>>47251388
Oxidation = rust
>>47251494
Nope.
Skitarii progress.
I probably need more light for proper photos. I have one powerful lamp right there, but i guess i need more
>>47246545
Incredibly interesting for a centrepiece. Use a bright blue/turqoise for the wings and something kinda contrasting for the armor, maybe brass.
>>47251658
This. Rust is specifically iron oxide.
I believe the green oxidation on copper is called patina.
>>47251768
Yes, patina or verdigris is what we call the oxidation of copper.
Different materials oxidize in different colours.
>>47251494
Copper doesn't rust.
>>47246689
What do you care that I am observing Johnny being mentioned at a much greater frequency since the anniversary model?
It's bandwagoning 101, but it's not necessarily baad.
You baa what you baa.
I mean, want what you want.
>>47246699
Or just open it up and do it in 5 minutes you child. I'd do it for you if you just asked, but instead you blab on like a twat.
The point is, use the tools available to you instead of being a lazy shit.
>>47251857
And some rust and develop verdigris. An iron copper alloy will have both. Google some images.
>>47252198
Look, faggot, I wanted hard numbers taken from the actual base, not an estimate from counting pixels.
>>47251382
Thanks. The bookshelf is also the one I'm most pleased with. I'm thinking of inserting a few extra bits into it.
>>47249378
Cheers bro, he's basically a ghost with no number. A solider of fortune with no master except his magic magazine.
Had to paint this little buddy in roughly three hours for an event at our GW Store's birthday, I'm pretty proud of myself and found a new scheme for my orks.
Turns out I can do better when I'm under pressure, is that strange?
>>47252198
Doesn't asking people for help count as using resources available to you?
This isn't high school. No one's going to tattle on you for "cheating."
>>47252423
They feel a little clean. Maybe some rolls of parchment on top of the right one and some potion bottles sticking out of the left one or just paint on windows in the rack thingy? What is that anyway.
>>47251494
>demonstrate ignorance attempting to correct anon
>smug anime schoolgirl image
seriously kill yourself
>>47252406
How would that be any different? Probably be much more accurate too. Live knowing that you could have done this yourself in minutes yesterday.
Someone will surely help you now that you are doubling down on being a homophobe.
Keep that brain of yours stagnant and angry. That will get you places in life.
>>47252599
Look at all that help he has gotten and that he will wait on seemingly endlessly while funnelling his energy into being a twat instead of just figuring it out himself.
Definition of a loser.
>>47252601
Well, I didn't want to go nuts with the gritt before making it look proper, but I will probably try to dirty them up a bit and add some parchments lie you said. I was thinking of putting a leftover Warhammer horse cranium on the left topshelf.
I was also not sure if those were supposed to be windows or not. So I just kinda left them alone. Now I'm thinking of doing dark green glass in them.
>>47251737
Those are some kickass looking models

>>47252815
Where are you from anon?
So over the years I've gotten minis that I've supposed to have painted but I never did for reasons.
Anybody got recommendations on brands of acrylic paints and where to buy said recommendations? I've used Gee Dubs paints before but I wanna branch out.
>>47252576
I wonder if the original sculptor had even the slightest idea that around 25 years later his model would gather a cult following in a Chinese cartoon image board.

It's time anon, you have been selected. Now build, paint, and play CSM until your soul itself deserts you for greener pastures.

BT use the standard codex these days, go nuts. Personally I just like rushing a lot of neophytes to their violent deaths.
>>47252623

>>47253008
Id say showing a detached sadness, disappointment, or whatever its supposed to be - while (incorrectly) pointing out someone is wrong - denotes smugness.
>>47252932
Vallejo, Army Painter, Reaper and Privateer Press all have nice paint ranges for wargames.
I mostly use Vallejo due to its colour range, the fact that it comes in dropper bottles and the store being just a few blocks away from home.
If you go for Vallejo, I'd urge you to buy any metallics from their airbrush range, they're a pleasure to use and not as thick as the game color range.
>>47253008
>>47253064
The retard that tried saying oxidation on copper is rust, has dropped that point in favor of arguing about anime images looking smug or not. And he's samefagging taboot.
Looted Stormpotato v2
>>47253082
What kind of stores would sell Vallejo, do you know?
I've seen them online for like, three bucks a bottle. I've heard the occasional good thing about Vallejo, but the price point has me hesitant when it comes to getting one of those massive 80color cases or what have you.
>>47253158
Wait.
How are you supposed to use those circular saws on a plane? They're smaller than the actual guns so you can't even ram with them!
Still looks awesome
>>47252597
for only 3 hours, thats really good
>>47252597
That one of them fancy sticker bases from GMG?

Nothing is good here anymore.
>>47253012

>>47253158
If you filed that down that'd be a fucking nice elite Stormcheeser.
>>47253158

Woah, is that a thing people do? Do you do that? Is that how you're projecting this?
Pic related, it's my smug face when you continue to shitpost instead of sticking to WIP
>>47253203
One of the FLGS I frequent carries them, same with most modeling hobby stores in town.
Forgot to mention, most of the brands I mentioned come with more paint than GW and at a lower price.
Wouldn't really advice getting the large paint case, I just buy whichever colours I need at the moment, haven't spent a lot and still have all I need so far.
Remember to go for the game colour and game air ranges, they're both more resistant to constant handling and have more vivid colours compared to their model colour range.
www.dakkadakka.com/wiki/en/Paint_Range_Compatibility_Chart
That table is a godsend to compare and match different paint ranges, if you choose to get stuff from various brands it's always helpful.
hey guys, so I'm making a giant, and I want him to wear standarts and banners as pants. The thing is, I'm not realy good at drawing symbols and stuffs, so do you have simple banners from any faction that are easy to make?
I already did the slaaneshi one, an imperial cross and working on a simple wood elf banner
Pic related is the big guy
>>47253492
have you considered making very simple banners, with just trim or quartered banners, then adding decals from various factions to them?
>>47253492
Needs a huge wooden cart and some hooks for arms

Get to work and post some pics of your WIPs.
>>47253492
Use a soft pencil to sketch out what you want to freehand. You can always erase and redraw that. Practicing on paper helps too.
Love how the face looks btw. Very nicely done.
>>47253560
I would love to but everything is boxed up right now as my hobby room is being remodeled. Just sitting here, studying, watching WIP cascade by.
>>47253538
well, the pant he's wearing are not like flat, so decals may look weird on it
>>47253545
that would has been awesome for a chaos army, but mine is for ogres
>>47253564
yeah, I think I'll do some reschearchs and first try to make them on paper.
>>47253624
Doesn't the kit come with a variant torso and arms/heads to make a crippled giant veteran begging for coins from? Sculpting a torso wouldn't even be that hard.
>>47253649
I think there's only one torso, but 4 arms in the kit
>>47253649
Not him, but the kit only comes with one body and set of legs.
There are two sets of arms and various heads, hands and feet though.

ABOMINATIONS INCOMING
I'm about to start painting the tau starter box, after several years away from the hobby.
I wanted to find a tutorial for painting a green tau scheme, but:
>every painting channel I followed on youtube back in the day has shut down
>every painting tutorial on tau is either from the old models, or exclusively uses airbrushes
>every tau painting tutorial is for either the standard or white color scheme

I've got 3 squads of pink horrors to paint up. What are some good recommendations for different colors for the squad markings? Currently thinking pink, purple, and maybe blue.
>>47253735
I don't know, I have 50 horrors split up between Red Horrors, Yellow Horrors, Green Horrors and Blue Horrors. Then most of their details will be gold.
That's how I distinguish mine, but they also correspond to the tetra colour scheme of my Thousand Sons.

You know you can follow a tutorial and just swap out the paints right?
so I'm starting to base my models. Most are just Death Forest Green paint with varying amounts of flock, and gravel but the standing stone parts on these make me feel I should do more.
or at least paint the stone to fit in with the basing.
Ideas? help?
Does anyone have thatpicture of a step-by-step guide of painting white armour that was in one of these threads a while back? I think it was painting a Sanguinary Priest or something. It was a marine with robe at any rate.

Noob-ass question. What's the difference between Vallejo Model and Vallejo Game paints?
>>47253252
Maybe it fires them?
>>47254123
Vallejo Game has brighter, more saturated colours than VM. I don't think the quality is much different betweent the two, though.
