Quick alter. Took the eyes idea from someone else
>>47542706
Cool, then the advice I offer to get a better white that's a little dirty but brings out depth and detail is as follows.
Prime white with a primer spray or a base white. Ensure the base is a nice even white. If your using citadel paints, use the white layer.
Multiple thinner coats are best. Consistency should be like full fat milk.
Then use either seraphim sephia wash, this offers a yellow tinge, or agrax earthshade for a dirtyies brown.
Don't slather all over the model as tempting as it is.
That's where things go wrong.
The black wash you are using jut turns the white to grey.
Use a fine brush and just lay the wash into al the crack and crevices a bit at a time. Imagine you are trying to paint those lines.
Let it completely dry for like an hour before attempting highlights.
>>47554261
Bugger. I only have the thumbnail. Anyone who has the full image, please chime in.

>Chronic solvent-induced encephalopathy
Fuck you for making me paranoid about the weird minor psychological symptoms I've been having since last month.
I'm just sleeping poorly is all, for real
Hello gang, still working on my overlord, when I can find a shred of time.
I may painted myself into a corner here, pun intended. I'm not sure what to do with the orbs in his cloak here.
Should I paint them glowing from the center (like the ressurection orb) or as more traditional gems / lenses?
An update to the third flagellant to Psyker conversion
>>47553179
Anyone have recommendations on basing materials? Looking for a woodland/forested sort of deal, looked at Woodland Scenics and Noch terrain, as well as GW's own stuff. Any preferred brands/brands to avoid?
>>47554433
I'd love some critique if possible on the cleaning up of the cloak after a wash, I tried improving after getting some help from /wip/ last thread on pic related's cloak
>>47554358
That's a lovely shot of your paint pot anon.
>>47554450
I like it. Try watering down your red to a glaze and run it between the light and dark lines to smooth out the transition.
Third flagellant looks fantastic - do you have more shots of the lot of them?
>>47554433
>>47554450
The cloak looks good, you have a smooth consistant colour across it. All you need to do is add some edge highlights to the raised areas and its good to go. Make sure you wash that hair/beard as well.
>>47554514
Not any that are worth showing. I'll post more when the set is done. There's 7 left.
>>47554530
What kind of wash should I use for the beard? I've never really worked with hair a lot, I thought dry brushing white might make it look good but the position is awkward.
>>47554491
could you not?
>>47554530
Edge highlighting is for fags and ultramarines. Needs more grimdark.
>>47554339
Well, is it all symptoms or just a couple?
If it's a majority, go speak to your doctor.
Have you lost interest in sexual contact anon?
>>47554548
Simple colour theory my friend, What's darker than grey? Black. Use a black wash. Then drybrush with the original colour, and then apply another lighter drybrush of white. That way you will get a nice 3 shades on it and lots of depth.
What makes it awkward? The worst thats going to happen is you will get some grey/white on the metal, in which case you can just go back and tidy it up afterwards by re-painting the metal areas.
>>47554660
>Awkward
I was mostly referring to the the face and the trying to easily get to the bottom bits due to the torch hand. Not impossible, I'm just not confident in drybrushing.
>>47554735
Don't worry anon, drybrushing is easy. Just follow based Duncan's advice and he will lead you to enlightenment.
Update on the psyker. I might try the dry brushing again and neaten up the skin a bit.
>>47554261
Much easier to do with enamel or oil based washes over a gloss finish.
If I had to production line a bunch of white marines that's what I'd do.
>>47555337
I'm not even sure what I'm going to do to unfuck this model when it arrives.
The head I could perhaps make more skeletal and flayed, but the rest of the body isn't so simple to save, especially the awful forelegs.
>>47555396
I kinda dislike the hands, too. At least the resin version had a alternative elephant feet which looked a bit better.
For the assembly it's all but a tight fit, too. Had to use a shit ton of GS.
But whatevs, happy how he turned out. I like the concept and several details. One of the few really creepy looking miniatures.
>>47554261
>>47554269
>>47554339
Awkwardly most of those symptoms match my chronic fatigue diagnosis.
But I was always good about ventilation etc.
>>47555396
>unfuck this model when it arrives
What is this, a commission?
>>47555726
Nevermind, I simply failed my comprension check.
>>47555726
Just a really weird kingdom death sculpt.
>>47555703
show that list of symptoms to the kind of depressed shut ins that spent their time on 4chan and you'll probably find that most people are gonna self diagnose at least a handful of those symptoms on themselves.
Which is why there are professionals that make a real diagnosis and wikipedia isn't a substitute for a visit to the doctor or a psychotherapist.
>>47555337
>>47554339
If it makes you want to be careful about ventilation, it's working as intended.
Threadly reminder to please post manifacturers you like so we can add them to the op(or add them yourself, account is wiptg pass is 4chan)
Hey /wip/. I was looking for some opinions on pic related as a color scheme for a Tzeentch army.
Sorry if the quality is poor, but the general idea was a quartered color scheme of darker Red and Blue on the armor, and a flipped version in lighter color on the robes.
>>47553179
>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronic_solvent-induced_encephalopathy
>Psychological symptoms of CSE that have been reported include mood swings, increased irritability, depression, a lack of initiative, uncontrollable and intense displays of emotion such as spontaneous laughing or crying, and a severe lack of interest in sex.
This has got to be a chicken/egg situation for most people here.
>>47554435
>Anyone have recommendations on basing materials? Looking for a woodland/forested sort of deal, looked at Woodland Scenics and Noch terrain, as well as GW's own stuff. Any preferred brands/brands to avoid?
I have been digging out of the same bag of Woodland Scenics flock for decades. But that's lazy mode...
>>47555978
... Army Painter makes some pretty sweet goodies to add to your bases. Not sure if it's going to give you the full forest effect you're looking for, though.
What's a good clear liquid acrylic for water? I'm working on turning this massive piece of styrofoam I've got into a sewer diorama for my Kings of War ratkin. Any tricks to make the water look good?
>>47556064
Google for Water Effects, plenty of companies make them in a number of varieties.
>>47554435
Imo you should get
>dried branches for woodfall and broken trunks
>birch tree seeds for fallen leaves
>green flock for moss
>grass tufts
>maybe some railway model ferns
If you put that on a base you can add build pretty good forest bases.
If you sculpt from time to time, use the excess putty and some wire to make mushrooms to put on your bases as well.
Trying to ork up a Halftrack.
Very WIP though.
>>47557026
looking good so far matey I've got a dragon flak 88 I'm gonna orkify for my trukks
>>47557064
I also have a Tiger-1 but it's just so.. Boxy.
Hard to really thing of anything so do with it.
The facts it cam with rubber tracks didn't help either.
>>47557026
Looks nice. With a bit less orky bits it would look nice as an Taurox as well.
What scale did you use for the base kit? 1/35 or 1/48?
>>47557026
I think it's 1:35, got it in a used lot with the tiger and a shitload of kromlech greatcoats.
>>47557091
yeah I've got a tamiya tiger 1 to paint but I've never used an airbrush and I'm scared to start using it
>>47557372
lol, show that off in a hotglue thread in /gif/
>>47555811
the yellow shoulder trim really fucks up the cohesion of the quarters. maybe paint it either red or blue. or pick a metallic like gold or silver.
same with the yellow wings on the front of the calf ([paint the wings blue instead, to mirror the red skull on the blue leg)
>>47557372

Are you the guy who makes a bunch of ork vehicles, but cannot be assed to even prime a single one of them? Dude if you want to do a real WIP PAINT YOUR MODELS!
>>47557850
No dude, i think that's me.
>>47557929
But they're all primed now!
>>47557850
There's more than one of us.
And it's not just vehicles.
>>47558006
Fight the good fight orkbro! I just started on a new klan, this one will be Snakebites
Finally tackling the big guy since I managed to roll him in my groups Path to Glory campaign. He'll need some clean up, but I'm still working on just painting the lines right now.
Sup /wip/. I'm very soon going to no longer be a NEET, so I'm looking to start making a second army of Cyborg Catgirls, courtesy of Horus Heresy 5.
Right now I've got it down that I'm going to use a combination of greenstuff, florists wire, cybernetics from Anvil Industry, bits from Fantasy Empire models, and imperial guard weapons. But the last thing I need is good female heads, so I'm looking for a good third party seller for them.
Does anyone here know of a good company that sells female heads on the 28mm scale?
>>47558584
Forgot pic related.
>>47558584
Statuesque Miniatures, although I hate myself for enabling you.
>>47558634
Relax bro, I'm only going for 10% furry. They're just going to have cat ears and tails, maybe tiny claws added too if I get good enough with greenstuff.
Obviously Imperial Cults and Militia was intended for putting beastmen on the table, but I feel like Abhuman helots applies to felinids too.
Also, the heads look amazing. Thanks anon!
>>47558688
>Relax bro
No.
If you had posted your pic I would not have helped you with your bullshit magical realm army concept.
This guy took me all my afternoon (sorry for the shit light, but it's already dark now) but I'm glad it's over
The crossbow is just cosmetic, but it looks radical, so I had to use it. Also, I don't think it shows, but his shield-paldron is suposed to be from Artois. I will probably give a better picture tommorow
>>47558584
Victoria miniatures in the op?
>>47558783
Yea, I checked out victoria miniatures before going on this thread, since they're already on my list. I wasn't really impressed at all by their female heads, but I do plan on using their Laslocks and Wheelock pistols. Other anon mentioned Statuesque miniatures, which has enough variety that I can use. Only heads I can't use are the ones that already have ears on them.
>>47554491
He is showing the item in focus. The cloak. Just like he said.
Try to limit your idiocy by actually reading the words before you post, yeah?
>>47558819
Whatever you prefer
>>47547088
Continuing on with my gas container station from yesterday. Adding some bendy straw pipes and card stock detailing ("metal" bands) and such.
I guess I should add a fence and ladder to the catwalk too. Maybe some sort of control interface or console. I did remove the computer system from the interior of a space marine tank so maybe I will use this on the catwalk.
Any suggestions? I also have a single mounted canister to work on.
>>47558741
Pretty good i like the paint scheme and the effect,only problem would be that mould line(i think?) on his hand.
>>47558949
I think I am going to remove the copper elbow joint and energy drink white bottle top as well as the boiler heads from those sides of the tanks in order to add a flat piece of card like I did on the other side. Things just aren't sitting flush on that one side and it's really bothering me.
Plus, I may replace those boilder heads on the two outside tanks and add a copper pipe and energy drink bottle to the top just like the middle tank. Will add a bit of LOS blocking as well as balance out the back area.
>>47558949
Pretty rad, no suggestions though.
>>47557929
>>47558006
Guys I had the same problem. Make awesome ork conversions, look around at nothing painted, get depressed, make new awesome ork conversion to cheer myself up. Its not going to get better till you put paint to plastic, you are stuck in what I call the modeler's hell.
Now here is the good news. Since they are all different and custom, I found every one of mine was fun to paint, and had enough varitey I did not get bored. In fact I painted a cool vehicle, then 5 orks before I let myself paint another vehicle. It worked for me and I have been collecting since 3rd ed, so my backlog was literally 15 years.
>>47558967
thanks! yeah, the mould line appeared after I put the wash, I tought I had them all
>>47559437
that the one on his knuckles on the left hand? At least it looks mostly like gnarlly knuckles that have broken and healed many many times.
>>47559437
You never have them all
>>47559421
Put the completely build stuff that you have no intention of painting right away out of sight. Only bring it out when you are ready to base it. Once based, put away again if you don't intent to paint it right away.
Out of sight, out of mind. I have soooooo much stuff, but it's in cupboards and I only have out what I am actively working on. And I have been plowing through things lately.
Also, you will avoid dust build up if they are away behind doors.
Spray painted my shipping containers red, blue and grey. The blue is the same blue used on the Vent features. That blue will also be used on any building or fortification elements on other pieces if appropriate. The blue is intended to contrast with the orange rusts and the darkness and drab of the rest of the battle field.
>>47559421
I.... i have made fifteen mekboys so far.
Holy shit this Master's cleaner shit is fucking magic. Brushes are working like brand new and I've had them for four months.
So, someone gifted me a leman russ hull, the poor thing had the sponsons and the rear parts removed with a knife or something, the primer was impossible to remove even with acetone and similiar stuff, so i reprimed it and decided to cover the raped parts with some camo netting. Sorry for the quality, my phone is complete shit.
>>47560061
I tried to replace the engine with parts from my roomate's soul grinder kit
>>47560061
>>47560121
Thats some proper Ork conversion oppertunity right there.. or make a fancy objective marker..
But you did a good coverup!
>>47560061
>>47560121
And here is the tank so far, i dont know if it looks acceptable, i would make some better photos but im currently 700km away from the model
>>47556064
yes, protip: follow instructions on bottle.
My test run for custom decals, first lesson learned - the film on the paper I'm using is a bit thicker than gws, so gonna have to be more precise when cutting, other than that pretty happy how it came out
>>47560255
It's not so bad when it's set from a distance
>>47560255
Did you use drywall spackle to paint that shoulder? Jesus Christ

I recently converted this lamia wizard from two bones models. This is also my first time using Reapers advice of unthinned paints for the first coat. I have quickly discovered that the trick to these is to keep very little paint on your brush for the first coat, to make sure there isnt too much.
Layers and washes were thinned normally, and I did the black hair by a coat of leadelcher, followed by seven coats of nuln oil.
>>47560428
>Hey, should I read the other responses before posting?
>Nah
>>47560428
Yea, I might buy up a few sets of these, but they'll only be sparsely used. I really want most of the felinids to have visible ears.
>>47558718
>>47558634
How you gonna be mad at another person enjoying their hobby? The fucking internet...I swear...
>>47554276
What a bunch of son of a bitches. As if painting that was that easy.
They still need to be cleaned up a bit but here's a snapshot of my Sisters conversions...I like how the bronze/purple scheme turned out. Might need to wash/highlight the armor a bit more to break up the monotony...but their are purity seals and stuff on the backpacks and I will probably add more to the guns/pauldrons/etc.
>>47560812
Highlight the gold with silver. That should also help stop the armour being a block of colour.
>>47560324
>>47560255
Why didn't you clean the model of sprue before painting? Looks so messy.
Rev up your paints people.
>>47561091

>>47560121
He looks so sad
Is this salvageable? It's only the second Infinity model I've painted and my first in a good four years, and even though I've been painting minis for a good fifteen years this is wrecking my confidence. The plan was bright green symbiote, off-white/navy blue/grey armor with some bright green highlights, and maybe purple for the eyes, but this already looks like shit to my eyes and I'm barely a third of the way through basecoating.
>>47561112
Comp stomp!
PANCAKES IDENTIFIED.
>>47561112
Curious to see what I'll be painting up for this
>>47561189
I think so. Might want to rethink green and purple, though, but that's my own taste in colors not yours.
>>47560812
The pauldrons are wrong. I kinda get it if it was done om purpose, but they look wonky when inverted like that
>>47561112
Alright, I'll bite, let's see what I get.
>>47561112
Got a marine primed and ready sitting right here. Let's see what I get.
>>47561388
Fuuuck. I already have like 3000 points worth of Astral Claws, rerolling this shit.

It was done on purpose...I thought it looked more space gothic that way...personal preference.

Anyone got any recommendations for a beginner tier mini to buy? Preferably something along the lines of knights.
For D&D type games, not 40k.
I'm going to buy my own 3D printer and start making models myself, but want something to carry me over till that gets going.
>>47561112
Rolling, because why not?
>>47562926
reaper minis have lots of cheap single models, frostgrave has boxes of soldiers that can make a bunch of different equiped bows, axes, swords etc, empire millitia is another more expensive box set. theres a spanish online store that has excellent knights, i cant recall the name, but no doubt someone will say it, but those knights are pretty spendy, but look superb
>>47562926
Check the reaper bones line, they are cheap and there are countless different knights and all sorts of other fantasy characters.
>>47562958
>theres a spanish online store that has excellent knights, i cant recall the name, but no doubt someone will say it, but those knights are pretty spendy, but look superb
You`re probably talking about Fireforge Games (which are from italy afaik, not spain).
Perry miniatures are although worth mentioning for boxes with nice looking plastic knights.

Iwatas are great but the beginner-level Iwatas have trouble with fine lines and the higher-end ones get very pricey very quickly. Take a look at the Grex Genesis line- the XG and XN are both available with finer nozzles than the Iwata and they've got preset knobs which will help with consistent spraying.
>>47559769

please not storm lords!
I just leafed through the old GorkMorka books and realized that I may have finally found a fun theme/conversion project for my "partially assembled" Skit-Mech.
The first problem I encountered is that I need some kind of workable proxy hybrid of Mutie Beasts and Dragoons/Ballistarii.
I believe OG Mutie Beasts were based on WHFB 25mmx50mm but Modern "conversions" of Mutie Beasts are mostly based off of Slaaneshi Steeds with 25mmx70mm "bike bases".
Dragoons/Ballisarii are 90mmx120mm "flyer bases" though so I was thinking maybe some kind of "nesting" base would work?
Then the other issue is height since Mutie Beasts are about "horse" size and Dragoons/Ballistarii are "Sentinel" size.
Also for that one anon that was asking about "Ork Mushrooms" a thread or two ago, pic related from "GorkaMorka: Gubbins".
>Any input on modeling/basing models that work for both Skitarii/Muties would be appreciated!
>>47564460
haha white bodies and yellow heads.
Working on my first chaos mini from the Dark Vengeance set.
I feel like I still have a shit ton to learn about painting.
Not really a /tg/ related minature, but I recently branched off into painting gunpla and I thought /WIP/ might still interested to see how that turns out.
Did a quick mockup of the design I plan on painting. Let me know if anyone's interested in seeing the process or if I should keep it on /m/
>>47564378
Mmm, here's the trick; the two brushes you pointed out are specifically set up for line & detail work. They're bad for everything else (specifically basecoating). If you're going to buy one brush, make it an all rounder.

Swag, mate. I love the soft highlights; lots of pro-painted stuff these days has freehand highlights that only look good for the camera.
IMO the best modeling is modeling that looks good at 3 meters, 3 feet, and 3 inches. You've got some winners, there.
>>47566398
At a glance, Vallejo model color off white (70.820) looks kind of close; I'm just looking at the color chart though, don't have it in hand.
>>47564544

>must be real weird highlighting those nipples.
Are you weirded out painting crotches? Butts?
It's a fucking fake nipple. Get over it child.
>>47567654
well, yeah, you clearly did no research into something you wanted to get into before getting into it and then spent money beyond your means.
>>47567754
>Get over it child.
Some are more weirded out by vestigial organs than others, anon, try to be less opinionated in the future.
>>47567779
That is a good point anon. YOU should try to be less opinionated in the future. You fucking hypocrite. No one cares that you find a fucking nipple iky.
Get. Over. It. Child.
>>47567754
why so mean anon? You could just give me the quick and dirty on how I wasted money instead of being like that.And why do you assume I'm poor, you stuck up little shit? Is your life so pathetic that you have to act superior on an anonymous image board for chinese screen plays?
>>47567820
No one cares that you find an nipple non-icky, goes both ways fampai.
>>47567822
Why so incredibly over sensitive anon? No one is here to coddle you, not even your mama.
>>47567822
He's probably assuming you're poor because you appear to be complaining about dropping chump change on a new hobby.
>>47567839
Lets just keep this fucking circle jerk going eh morons!
No, no one cares about you. No, no one cares about you! No you, no you.
Shut up you faggot.
>>47567873
Accurate. Oh no, a couple dollars! Clearly didn't look into the cost of the hobby. Hey guy, you still clearly didn't look into the cost of the hobby despite that hurting your feelings!
Alright everyone, what painting tutorial would you like to see Duncan make next?
I'm personally hoping for BaC Word Bearers, but since they did that Advent Calender one, highly unlikely they'll do a more detailed video for it.
>>47567876
.U first, fagetI'll always love u, fampai.
>>47567822
If my life is so pathetic to be acting superior, what does that say about you acting inferior?
Beta males gonna beta!

That makes no sense. Try to think.
I always knew the people who posted in these threads were cancerous autismos.
Thanks for proving me right guys.
>>47567971
And here you are, adding to it! What a beautiful high horse you have there anon!
The shitlord stands atop his pile of shit, insulting his shitplebs down below!
will using a nail file (the kind you use on your cuticles) on your mini's uneven or streaky paint job then coating it in another layer of paint result in a smoother texture?
Is it summer already?
>>47568044
Fine-grit sandpaper would probably be better, but it might work.
>>47567971
>postyourwork.reply
>>47568056
Summer is eternal.
dammit, i got triggered.
I'm so fucking assblasted right now, i'm about to ragequit.
these stupid fucking mini's, trying to paint over their shitty fucking paintjobs, this fucking white paint that won't layer and the undercoat keeps showing, I added too much water so the paint is too thin and keeps pooling in the corners, and i keep getting blobs and streaks in my textures, and this fucking trim, i can't paint the damn trim!
Every fucking time its like i do one or two perfect, then i fuck up and have to wait for the paint to dry so I can do it all over again!
ARGG! I HATE MINIS I HATE PAINTING ARGLEBARGLEFROTHYPENIS
>>47567745
I have my eyes on them. Thinking Khorne, honestly.
Also, I why do the void elves have one tit flopping out? My greenstuff manipulation skills are awful and I'd have to give them a proper bra if I wanted to field them.
>>47560799
Uh, that technique is amateur hour.
>>47567754
I see you probably had a bad day, get well soon
and painting man nipples is funny as fuck, especially armour nipples in bigass murder machines bioengineered for war
So with Centurions, should I paint the shoulder and leg pads before attaching them? I have a feeling that it will be hard to reach a lot of stuff if I don't.
>>47568451
i don't know how the centurion model looks in that regard specifically, but from my experience as a lazy hobbyist, if it's hard to reach it's hard to see, so why bother with making it look great
>>47568471
My brain gets bothered immensely if I field something and know that part of it is unpainted, but they might obscure enough detail that painting said detail would be pointless.
>>47568485
let's compromise, then: basecoat it and then glue the other stuff over it and call it a day on the stuff you can't see or reach, how bout that?
Is there some point at which painting is supposed to become enjoyable?
>>47568503
Good enough, with a basecoat I can convince myself the stuff under the pads is just in shadow.
>>47568564
for me it's more relaxing than enjoyable. The only part I really enjoy is when they're finally done and you can stare at the squad for days
For some idiotic reason I thought ultramarines had white shoulder and knee pads.
I dunno. I kinda wonder if I should just cut my losses at this point. They all look fucking terrible. I feel like I should really do the trim, just to say i finished. (even if it looks like ass)

Probably only on the parts touching the island, making that little beach have actual surf would be cool, but it might be hard to not overrepresent it at this scale.

>>47569283
im newish to 40k, but are there human worlds that would have the equivilant of medevil age? im asking because after seeing your tank i want to make a steam tank looted wagon, or convert one into a trukk maybe
>>47569348
Yes, there are imperial worlds at all sorts of tech levels (among the common people).
>>47561112
rip in pieces
>>47569219
Sorry about the lighting, working with what I got.
This is one of the better ones...
>>47569361
you ever think they let some worlds think they are the original "earth" while they wait for them to evolve?
>>47569415
Your blue needs to be thinned and why does it look so glossy?
And do they /have/ to be Ultras? You could keep with that scheme and make a homebrew.
>>47569415
The scheme doesn't look that bad to me,but the paint is thick and why the hell didn't you repaint blue his fingers after you made them black? Why do i see no highlight or shading?
>>47569456
Maybe its cause I painted over a layer of paint that was already on there. They used to be Iron Hands, if you can believe it.
>>47569456
>>47569459
well i mean i don't hate it, its just that whites a pain to deal with.
I had to go over it 3-4 times so that the blue didn't show.
>>47563840
You are autistic
>>47569485
its more the trim. Its maybe not horrendous on this one, but I really fucked it up on some of the others.
>>47569305
Don't be so hard on yourself, I think it looks bretty good.
>>47563997
I'm antishimalingadingdong
>>47569477
Why didn't you strip them first?
I'll give it another hour.
>>47554261
While I see the original further down, I have to say I appreciate your dedication to scale.
>>47569503
>how to paint gold
black -> intermediate color like brown, yellow, or copper -> metallic gold -> very light silver highlight
>>47569515
I tried. I used rubbing alcohol and let it sit over night. Somebody suggested a product I might use, I think I'll pick some up tomorrow.
>>47569485
First off strip them you plastic butcher, then if you want to get white you have to either prime white and then colour the rest blue,or ,if you prefer,work the colour down, so for blue you would get a coat of very light blue and then the white, or if you prefer light blue and then another lighter blue and then white. This will make it easier to get a decent coat on.
>>47569570
Check the op.
>>47569506
thanks, but I still have to improve. good to know its not objectively shite.
>>47569557
thank you, that sounds like good advice.
>>47569591
Come on man,the mould lines.
thanks for your advice, but i think i'm done for now.
I really mostly wanted miniatures to play with, they may not look fantastic but I think they are ready for table top. I expect I might get a bit rough with them, but I can always come back to them later.
I don't know anything about paintin'.
What do you guys do when you fuck up entirely? Just drop the thing in turps? lol
>>47569557
To piggy back on this anon, depending on the gold, paint coverage can be shit. I find mixing a little mustard yellow color to gold paint usually helps the coverage go on smoother.
>>47569778
Lol
>>47569778
If it's a model I really like, yeah I re do that shit. Into the simple green it goes.
If its shit I'm just doing for my dnd game as Villain fodder, than I wait a couple days to see if its salvagable, or ask a friend if its shit. If they say its not bad, or I don't hate as much after a cooling down period, i keep trucking.
>>47569631
yeah. I rush things a lot. only time I get super into removing them is when im painting at my best level, which isn't often.
>>47566398
Looks a lot like Rakarth Flesh to me.
>get my first full-time paycheck in over a year
>immediately drop $125 online for models and modeling accessories
It is a good pain.
At least now I'll have a respirator for priming in the winter months and can finally find out for myself if Windsor & Newton brushes are as great as everyone says.
>build my razorwing
>go to get the base ready
>no flying stem
fuck off gw, i need that
About to start a CSM aspiring champion. Does not look like its going to fun to paint but no doubt ill be happy when it's done

Skarsnik and Gobbla. I like how they turned out as well, though I wish gobbla's reds stood out a bit more.

Loving the entrails. Highlight with pink-white mix, yeah? I can never seem to lighten pinks well.
Empire wizards I did a while back. Any tips to make my freehanding better? I am utter garbage at writing with a brush.

Looks great. I'm still crying and gritting my teeth over getting the previous metal Steam Tank just before the plastic dropped.

some crit while I'm here (don't take it personally):
>>47569415
something is off about your paints, are you using enamels? it looks really tacky. grab some water based paints (I like vallejo) and thin them down for a smooth flat colour like pic related. As for the mistake, make it your own homebrew chapter, fuck ultramarines, very overdone.
>>47569305
mould gaps and get brighter highlights on the fire (but inverse highlights, google "painting fire"). neater gold. go at it with agrax earthshade for an outside look.
>>47569283
nice. looks a bit flat maybe wash.
>>47569278
pretty clever, looks good, but the glowing eyes could be improved somehow (subtle green wash for lighting around the edge, stronger highlighting in the actual glow).
