Thin pants aside, I love the Fett Marines.
Guys
Should I finish my Ogre army ( 8 Ogres to go ) or my Skaven army ( 17 Stormvermins ) first?
>>47303319
>17 stormfiends
>17
>That's a prime number, and that's terrible
Volcanic base again
Making progress on my orks, or orruks, or whatever. Base layers and shading done, just finished adding some highlights to the bone color on the armor.
>>47303571
not stormfiends, stormvermins!
And I already painted 3, so they are 20 at the end
>>47303755
Christ, things have got to the state where I can misread "17 stormfiends" and think that's a thing someone may very well do.
>>47303806

>>47303750
How do you like the models?
I've been looking at the sprues and have been wondering if you could build them and just leave the armor plates off. They seem like a good base for Ork/Orc boss conversions. That is if I don't end up having to reculpt half of the torso.
Any tips for doing this sort of camo pattern? I haven't done many vehicles before, let alone more intricate stuff like this.
>>47303932
cut tape and anairbrush?
A friend of mine gifted me the start collecting box for the Necrons and im currently thinking about the colour scheme, can anyone recommend me something not the standard black or gray maybe somthing a bit more flashy or just different..
>>47304027
Well, there is always working in bronzes or golds alongside with reds or blues in place of green for a splash of color.
>>47304027
Oldcrons used to be a bit more varied. Then ceramics were a material people considered painting necrons as as well, which comes in basically any color you want.
>>47303195
finished the 2 trays i will put in my carcassonne big box.
if i did it right then this will fit every carcassonne expansion, mini expansion and single tile expansion in existance.
(not that i am gonna pay 50 buck for a spiel tile but there is space.)

^This is actually at the stage of getting grass and snow. I just have to go get some more "Winter Tufts" today in order to continue.
Hope that helps, but feel free to ask questions.

I really like the models. I also got the shaman as well because I became so infatuated with the sculpt. Would make an amazing wierdboy for 40k army. I prefer the ork models being more upright than all slouched over and gorllia looking. Makes them more menacing. The back plates and shoulders are separate pieces but it leaves a huge divot in their back if you left it off. You would have to re-sculpt most of the back and shoulder blade areas.
>>47304259
>>47304291
http://3t-studios.com/ once had a great tutorial that helped inspire my pieces. A couple months ago (iirc) their servers were corrupted and they lost all their old tutorials, but at least I took lots of pictures of my process based on theirs.
>>47304396
Thanks, that's quite helpful.
I liked the shaman too. The best AoS mini so far imo.
>>47303590
That technique can never not look good. Good job Anon.
So I'm gonna do some Black Dragons for more edge-highlighting practice, and I'm wondering, would a green edge highlight to compliment the green eye lenses work well with the black? Blue seems to look swell with pic related
Pretty much finished on my Emperor's Children Moritat.
I need to get a better camera.
I want to paint Eldar to look like lacquered wood. Thinking of Basing Black, Washing v.dark brown and highlighting a v.dark red.
Painting 'Gold leaf' details and gloss varnishing.
How does that sound?
>>47304863
Might look a bit necron-y, I dunno.
might as well check if i fucked this up for future posting.
I need to make some plasma servitors to go with my Iron Hands Techmarine. I have plasma cannon sprues from my Devastator squad but little else. My initial thinking was snap fit cultists with the arms chopped off but I feel it might be lackluster.
The Techmarine miniatures are expensive so I'm tempted to call it a day on the Inquisition ones for the cost of £10 for two. They're slightly ugly though.
Has anyone had experiences with any kits or advise? I might one day along the line buy the breacher kit for assault centurions when I feel less guilty parting with £30. I guess that will have the torso and arm parts to make good conversions.
>>47304027
I'm doing mine inn the Nihilahk Dynasty scheme. It's just the right amount of flashy for robotic space Egyptians.
>>47305085

>>47304863
It's a much much better way of highlighting black if you have to have a great knowledge of colour.
Google massive voodoo painting the colour black for a decent guide (won't let me post link).
I recently picked up Imperial Knights Renegdae and want to magnetize
I want to magnetize it at the hips, the carapace weapon, and the arms
My issue is the arms
I am okay with only having one of each gun between the two of them because I don't want to deal with an absurd amount of small pieces, but I want the guns to be able to attach to either arm and to also magnetize all the melee weapons, so i can run any knight variant. My question is where should I magnetize the arms to achieve this, and what size of magnets should I use
>>47305341
Only suggestion would be to slow it down some.
>>47304027
Replicate the glossy clear coat finish from the Horus heresy masterclass strix Knight.

Yeah i think i might set up some spinning contraption and just film it spinning to get something smoother next time.

Could anyone recommend a source of tiny skulls for detailing. Tiny as in smaller than 1x1x1mm
>>47305707

>>47305906
you should try to GS your own. Pretty easy, and doing a number of them will be a great opportunity for practice. A couple in and you will have it down.

>>47305341
Hey, I tried something like that some time ago. Problem is file size and quality is shit.
Might as well make a webm.
painted this sweetie for a cheap commission
nothing fancy but I still enjoy the result
>>47306759
>>47306094
I appreciate that is a sensible solution for someone with the proper tools and skill, but the cost would be higher and quality much lower if I were to go that route.
>>47306959
please explain... (not the fellow you replied to)
>>47304027
i am slowly starting necrons as well and i decided on copper for the main body, dark blue for the armor plates, standard green for their glowing bits, and some gold/brass details for the high ranking guys
>>47306094
1*1*1 MM? At that point all you need is a tiny speck of greenstuff that you poke two holes in for eyesockets and paint white.
>>47307210
I am looking for professionally produced skulls because the jaw, teeth, and cranial details are necessary for the project.
Your description is also why I would not try it myself as it would end up a sphere with 2 indentations.

http://www.spikeybits.com/2015/10/magnetizing-a-knight-titan.html
>>47305707
Why
>>47304765
I don't think it was made for AoS at all to be entirely honest. Its design is much too grounded for that and isn't really consistent with the rest of their look.
They probably had the sculpt lying around from WHFB and only just put it out.
>>47305085
>>47305341

The cost is water, tooth picks and Green Stuff.... easily a fraction of the cost of buying premade and I think you under estimate your skills (you have eye balls and fingers, yes?) and over estimate the "difficulty" of poking a round blob of GS into the basic shape of a skull.
A poor craftsman will blame his tools (or lack there of).
A quality craftsman will use the tools at hand and make you think they had all the "proper" tools all along.

I'm not saying they can't spend it however they want or that they can't do whatever they want.

Question: is the gold stupid? I'm getting a Flava Flave vibe from it right now. any other metallic might work, like ironbreaker? I ask because the majority of my renegades have gold/brass. But, these straps are an oddity compared to everything else.

How well does it work to just prime right on the sprues, then cut the pieces out?

Heres the first 5 melee. Including a converted Space Shark, Minotaur, and Flesh Tearer.
I rolled the Minotaur on the chart the other day, and its very early WIP, I haven't even finished the basecoats. Also the freehand is just a quick test to see if I can get the rough shape of a bulls head.

Skitarii box. See the guns at the top, the heavy guns? You get 2 lots of each in the box, plus see the rifles on the others below? Cut off the brass barrel at the front, and it looks like a kind of plasma-carbine.
>>47313642
basically a SM chapter where each member is invited to join from their own chapters. Specialty is for killing xenos.
You paint your armour black, one shoulder/arm silver, and keep your original colours on your other shoulder.
For me its an excuse to paint a whole bunch of characters without looking like someone with ADHD who can't pick a chapter.

>wtf is deathwatch?

heres a better picture with a better bulb
>>47314227
I think the blue is too dark and the gold is too flat. Definitely wash the gold. Did you paint it on straight over the primer? Since metallic pigments are transparent, it's good to build gold up over a brown or copper base. As it is right now, it looks very flat. A wash and a drybrush on the robe will also do wonders for it.
>>47314211
And you're replying to the post replying to the posts from 7 hours ago.
>>47313983
It makes a lot of sense, actually. Think of how much shit is modeled after Genghis Khan's Mongols. Those guys killed fucking 10% of all of humanity at the time.
>>47314250
i did put a light brown down over the face and the tassle thing but not on the shoulder. ill have to try a darker brown maybe?
and for the blue i used a dark blue, maybe i need broader highlights to bring it out more.
and for the robes i did do a wash and highlight, maybe they are just hard to see.
but thanks for the input, ill deffenently see if i can fix him up a bit.
>>47314341
Honestly man the painting is very smooth and neat. You've got a great starting point, just needs shading and highlighting.

The Swastika is a symbol as ancient humanity itself, it dates back at least 8000 years to prehistoric mammoth ivory carvings.
Shame about the stigma in the real world, because the Swastika is definitely a great symbol for humanity to use as a banner. It has always traditionally symbolised luck or auspiciousness in both European and Asian tradition. So maybe if you paint a swastika on your models you will get better rolls?
Okay, so heres a rough draft of my idea for my Mas'ed Rida' (Ork Kamen Rider)
The mask design is the basic idea I got, I dunno if I wanna add a horn, or one of those fins across the top, or just leave it as is. I also want to try and replace the chest piece with the Blightking chest piece (it's that, or I keep the original chest piece, which is Punisher Ork)
I intend to lob off his power klaw arm, and it, along with a few other weapon arms, magnetize them so he can have something like Rider Man's Cassette Arms. Maybe even a smaller conversion where I take the shooter and give it the ability to turn into a sword (like so many modern Rider's are want to do)
So the main question I got is, does this helmet design look good? Any input to what I could add maybe?
>>47314702
The image of the swastika dates back far, yes, but that particular banner is obviously a Nazi swastika, due to it's positioning, and the colors of it. If it was similar to the swastika on the Dread's armor, it would be more reasonable though. Hell, I have swastikas on one of my Deff Koptas, since it's also an Ork symbol.
Working on a super dark 30k word bearer scheme at the moment.
>>47314758
True enough, that banner is NatSoc for sure but I meant in a more general sense.
However, it doesn't mean that National Socialism wouldn't be an appealing ideology for far future human supremacists like the Imperium.
I wouldn't be surprised even in the near future if Nazis and Hitler were seen in a more favourable light, once out of living memory.
Is there any official or good guides for painting Lizardmen/Seraphon, anything from skinks to carnosaurs?
>>47314821
Well the problem with that mentality is Hitler wanted to purge humanity...of humans, humans that he saw as 'lessers' simply because of their ethnicity, sexuality, or other pointless reasons. The Emperor would be completely against Hitler and the Nazi's ideology, because he wanted all of humanity to unite, regardless of your color, your sexuality or any other meaningless difference, if you were human, you were part of his promised empire of greatness.
>>47314746
The green hood and metal mask make him look like an Orky Doctor Doom.
>>47314782
Looks great
>>47314869
Well it's not supposed to be a hood, it's the full helmet I intend to put on the Ork's head. I might color it to resemble Ichigo's helmet, or give something proper Orky.
>>47314782
ca we get a closer up of the mace-wielder?
I just bought a bottle of pic related to strip some metal models, do I just soak them like I would with simple green?
>>47314862
Doesn't the Imperium have a eugenics program that would make Hitler blush.
Also if you just scale up Hitlers views for Germans onto Humanity as a whole, the ideologies are almost identical, a supremacist, totalitarian, expansionist ideology. I'm pretty sure the Imperium doesn't have time for weakness or the genetically inferior, I'm sure they exterminated many abhumans they encountered.

>Hitler wanted to purge humanity...of humans
mutants, bro
The Emperor fucking hated mutants. One of the only sensible retcons they've done was that his golden throne webway project was so that he could purge the Navigator houses.
>>47314942
Actually not true. The Imperium accepts all humans, they dont waste time purging the "inferior" humans, because if that human can hold a gun and shoot it, they can serve a purpose. During the Emperors era, he pretty much welcomed every kind of abhuman into the Imperium, but after he fell, the restrictions on abhumans have tightened up, but they still allow some pretty off strains, like Troths, Beastmen and Scalies. They are mistrusted by the puritan members of the Imperium, but they are considered citizens.
The Imperium recognizes 73 stable abhuman strains, of which 46 are listed extinct, 12 suggested to have died out or been assimilated into the greater population thus leaving 15 strains still recognized as citizens.
>>47314965
Theres a difference between jews, blacks, gays and the handicapped and mutated humans. Even then through the majority of the Imperium, mutants are permitted to live, but treated like garbage.
>>47315003
The Nazis utilised auxilleries of all different races in WW2, they showed the same pragmatism you describe. However I imagine if (although its never going to happen) the Imperium brought peace to the galaxy they would then look inward and create and crusade of genetic cleansing of the human race.
At any rate putting genetic weaklings into the Astra Militarum is basically purging them anyway as that meat grinder is basically a Social Darwinist's wet dream.

>>47305707
Stop that
>>47307943
lets see
>>47315026
The Emperor would never permit an inward purge of humanity just to remove abhumans, he worked for ages just to stop humanity from killing each other, uniting them as one. Besides, if peace ever came to the galaxy, the Emperor would be back and guide humanity again

I love the red. I was working on WBs a few years back but gave up since in my autism I couldn't settle on a good red. Yours look very nice.
Always been a big fan of Word Bearers andUltramarinesdue to Chaos Gate.
>>47315056
yeah took me ages to settle on a colour scheme and dark red I was happy with. I try really hard with any army to not do the standard colour scheme everyone pumps out. I like to twist it into something a bit more interesting I haven't seen done before. Pic included is some of the demons my red lads will be summoning.
and props to chaos gate, fuck that game rocked.

Any tricks on how to remove paint? I head acetone free nail polish remover works pretty well.
>>47315310
always do a test run on a piece of scrap metal/plastic/resin before using it on models
>>47315310
I use Super Clean, they stock it at my local auto parts stores, not too expensive for a small bottle, and give it a day or two of soaking and give it a good scrub and you'll get it clean, it will also melt any glue
>>47315310
I let my models soak in oven cleaner, brush off the paint with a toothbrush (you want those nasty stiff ones). Then dip the brush in non-acetone nail varnish remover. Do not submerge the model in the varnish remover, it will start to melt over time. Also remember to rinse it in water between chemicals.
>>47315266
see ya space cowboy
>>47314862
The only difference between Hitler and the emperor in regards to human purging is where they drew the line for unacceptable deviation from the ideal.
>>47313542
I'm still impressed at how good these guys are, especially after that ultramarine you kept posting and his insane eyes
>>47314702
from memory, Hitler reversed the original, religious design and then set it at an angle
>>47314141
Everything needs high lights and it needs to be based.
>>47315572
Unless someone else painted crazy-eyed Ultras I think you might be confusing me with him...
>>47315610
I think I am
For some reason I have a vivid memory of that marine and the deathwatch guys in the same photo
>>47315633
I also did the Deathwatch Sternguard Ultramarine recently, which might add to the confusion?
My recent shit has all been photographed on the same little resin plinth, and there hasn't been a lot of it because dissertation and exams.
>>47315667
Looks like he is crying.
>>47315758
Yeah, there was some pooling around the eyes and it really catches the light.
While it's fine at tabletop distance I'm planning on putting some matte medium around the edges.

Reproducibility in software written for scientific research.
Or: Scientists write fucking awful code and get paid to do it, then that code is useless only two years later, wasting their development time and rendering their research unverifiable.
>>47315925
Way off topic, but thinking about the software has triggered me again.
If you're writing in a high-level language and:
> manage to write 1600 lines of a complex simulation without defining a single function, data structure or any other sort of abstraction
>think that having one variable called thing_a and another called thing_A is acceptable
you should not be writing software as your job.
Any tips on bringing dead paints back to life? I mean 99% solid, rubbery shit. And don't tell me it can't be done either. No soldier gets left behind.
>>47315969
>99% solid, rubbery shit
>don't tell me it can't be done
Ok: if it can be done, it won't be much (if at all) cheaper than buying new paint and the resulting paint will be worse.
>>47315969
take a needle and make some holes into your paint block.
then put some IPA (alcohol) into your paint pot and wait for a few hours.. repeat. hope it works.
>>47313841

It's more like a tithe isn't it? 1000 marine chapters, Deathwatch have a marine from each one?
I just don't see black templars voluntarily working with psykers for example
>>47316023
I'll try some alcohol, thanks. I've been doing the hole-poking method with various household cleaning chemicals to varying degrees of success. Metallic paints seem the hardest to revive.
I won't be too sad if I can't get them to working condition again. I've already resigned my wallet to new paint purchases.
>>47316095
Varies as to whether it's seen as an individual honour or a punishment from chapter to chapter, but the astartes are obliged to provide marines to the inquisition.
>>47315003
What are you talking about, the imperium exterminated thousands of human variants too far removed from the original human template during the crusades.
Hitler on the hand was friends with indians, muslims, italians and the japanese. All of these are not white. Hitler being a white supremacist is about as believable as Trump being one if you read any history not written by americans and jews.
Off topic, but can someone do something about OP's links? Can anyone post a mirror perhaps?
>>47307943
rolling
>>47315667
Not to be super picky, but the skull on his elbow is supposed to be bronze too. I only know because im trying to paint all these fuckers too.
Has anyone had any experience with velcroing minis instead of magnetizing them?
Pic related: its the thick snap stuff
>>47307943
'Ere we go
>>47307943
I found an ork nob and a space marine termie that I apparently got along an old WD in the hazy past, so let's see what I can do with the former.
>>47305345
I thought the same thing with the breachers, but the bodies don't scale well with anything. They're huge and don't really fit with any legs (I've tried terminator and bloodbound legs, both look too small)
>>47307943
roll
>>47317211
Which I'm kind of glad to hear as I think they'll be good Iron Hand centurion stand ins with a little tweaking. I like some of the ideas in this thread but for weilding a Plasma Cannon the stocky Gw sculps work well. That's unless I make some Skitari into heavy weapon teams.
>>47308811
nigga dont slack off
>>47303195
>>47316797
Wtf why
The velcro occupies more space than the magnets would and create a weird look.
>>47305707
I'm not a fan, but I won't tell you not to. I painted a hello kitty army for someone a while back because, why not?
That being said: are these done? The wolves look really flat. Don't keep it white in the recesses.
>>47317729
I think you need to reread the post.
they're not mine dude.
>>47317782
Tell them to give that shit a wash, then.
>>47317634
It this supposed to be done?
>>47317870
nah still WIP, just the remaining black, bone, eyes ans transfers, I just airbrushed the top and mask, but this image is before that
>>47307943
Just finished number 3, rolling one last time for the heavy weapons guy of the team. Gonna need to start thinking of names for them now.
>>47317634
Looking forward to seeing the base.
You know what we want.
>>47318138
what do you want? srsly, I still have no idea what to do for the base
Any ideas how I can make some icicles?
>>47318193
>>47318193
a place of worship, scaled down of course
>>47318193
You can't beat a good old fashioned church. One with a glorious chapel.
Don't worry about scale.

Search Massive Voodoo Icicles, /tg/ won't let me link because blogspot.
>>47318242
that's and example of when you have too many icicles... shit looks like its supposed to be terrain not a model
>>47318193
Needs some church. Don't disappoint.
>>47318205
>>47318207
I like it
I saw this at Secret Weapon, how should I paint it up?
also what little detail and bits should I do, is there a few I could get some stained glass somewhere on this?
sorry for all the questions, this is the second mini I've painted
>>47318296
That seems the perfect backdrop for a little church
