I would
to the ogre anon, if you make the pose with two arms doen it will look even gorilier, if you want him to be" releasing you need to separate the legs so that he looks like he is pushing and maybe give a turn to his bodylike he is channeling his push one one shoulder only
repost of my powerfist, started the lightning effect and i like how it looks. i experimenterd with drybrushing a glow effect but it looked like shit and i had to repaint the entire pinky.
more updates will follow, sorry if i post to much pics with slow progress but i'm still half hyped and half awed about having a titan.
>>47577872
Lightning looks good, green looks thick. Lots of visible brushmarks.
>>47577819
any tips for water effects?

>>47579620
yeah, malifaux
>>47578047
I used gloss varnish
>>47578095
I love it when simple Ork conversions come together well, especially that Nob conversion and the Orks with hats. It has somewhat of an understated Blood Axes feel to it.
first mini ever and I even made an attempt at the lightbox thing so pls no bully
What color should I paint the gun / backpack? I can't decide. (Not that the rest of him is meant to be done.)
>>47580469
Thin your paints a bit, anon. You're almost there. Also, do black for the stock of the gun, then green for the barrel. Backpack is your choice of what looks best.
>>47580469
Can we just take a second to appreciate that this first time painter took the ten seconds to make sure we could actually see his miniature to critique it? I wish more newbies would do this.
I think the blue you have for your Tau skin is too dark; it looks really hard to highlight. I also can't tell if the coverage on it is bad or if it's overwashed; I suspect the former because that black looks like it might just be primer.
Your green looks prickly, but I can't tell if it's because of the image compression hiding brushstrokes or if your primer went on fuzzy. Either way, I actually really like the color, and I can see some line highlighting too. The lines look a little sloppy, but the color is again good--try highlighting with the side of your brush to get them thinner. You might still struggle with it, but your hand muscles will adapt in time.
I think the red icon on the green is a pretty good look. It reminds me of old mecha anime a little. I think you could benefit from some careful washing in the crevices of the symbol to hide where your red went over the lines.
Are the cloth bits and black armor on the model supposed to look like that? As it is, they look like unpainted primer. If you paint them a medium to dark grey, and then put a black wash over it, I think that will look a lot better. You never want the main color you're putting down to be just black.
As for the gun and backpack, I think you could do worse than the grey/metallic scheme you have now. It looks very near-future, which is pretty stylish.
Overall, there are a lot of disparate colors on the model, but a lighter blue skin will go a long way towards tying it together and making red the highlight, instead of contrasting with the blue so much. Consider something like The Fang or Russ Grey as your skin tone instead.
Going for a predominantly NASA-esque white for my Solar Auxilia tanks with orange markings, ala The Martian. My SA soldiers have bare steel armour, orange coveralls and white piping.
How does it look? Apart from the vertical stripe on the side of the hull what other details on the tanks (2 Dracosans and a Valdor tank hunter) should be picked out in orange?
>>47580502
>Thin your paints a bit, anon.
I've been trying, it's so hard to tell where the right amount of thinness is, I can't seem to find the right balance between water and paint
>Also, do black for the stock of the gun, then green for the barrel.
The same green as the armor (which is castellen green)? Or loren green, which I have been (attempting, poorly) to use as a highlight.
>>47580912
>I can't seem to find the right balance between water and paint
I've got you covered. Put some paint on your brush. Not a ton, but about what you'd use to paint with. Now dip the tip into some water for just a second. pull it out, and lay it sideways on a paper towel to pull out excess water. When the paint doesn't spread out from the point of contact via capillary action, your paint is thinned and ready to go.
>>47580740
>I think the blue you have for your Tau skin is too dark; it looks really hard to highlight.
Yeah, it came out darker than I wanted it to, I wasn't sure exactly what colors to use. I'll do it differently next time.
>I also can't tell if the coverage on it is bad or if it's overwashed; I suspect the former because that black looks like it might just be primer.
Probably overwashed, I didn't like the blue I used so I threw guilliman blue all over it to see if that helped. The primer is gray, see: the gun/backpack.
>Your green looks prickly, but I can't tell if it's because of the image compression hiding brushstrokes or if your primer went on fuzzy.
frowntown
>Either way, I actually really like the color,

>>47580912
For the thinning, use your thumbnail as a a good surface to test how thin it is. You don't want it to be too watery/clear at the edges, but you don't want it to lump up either.
Paint it the same way you would the armor. Use pic related and copy where the black is and where the orange is, make it green instead.
As for the skin, here you go: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zn5X21xlDbg
>>47580740
>>47580960
>I think the red icon on the green is a pretty good look. It reminds me of old mecha anime a little.
It definitely has absolutely nothing to do with pic related.
>I think you could benefit from some careful washing in the crevices of the symbol to hide where your red went over the lines.
FUCK I'VE TRIED SO MANY TIMES, that, or going back in with red to hide where I fucked up the washing. The struggle is eternal
>Are the cloth bits and black armor on the model supposed to look like that? As it is, they look like unpainted primer. If you paint them a medium to dark grey, and then put a black wash over it, I think that will look a lot better. You never want the main color you're putting down to be just black.
Actually, they were just the primer gray under a black wash, but that made them sooooo much darker than I expected to, so I just painted black overtop in an attempt to smooth it out. Originally they were gonna be brown but somehow I don't have any brown colors. Any tips to move on from where I am now?
>As for the gun and backpack, I think you could do worse than the grey/metallic scheme you have now. It looks very near-future, which is pretty stylish.
Yeah, I noticed that too. They're just primer gray under agrax earthshade, but they do look alright. Advice on colors? Should I go forward from where they are now somehow, or go over them in administratum gray, or...?
>Overall, there are a lot of disparate colors on the model, but a lighter blue skin will go a long way towards tying it together and making red the highlight, instead of contrasting with the blue so much. Consider something like The Fang or Russ Grey as your skin tone instead.
Will do, senpai
>>47580952
That sounds smart. I'll try it.
>>47580996
>For the thinning, use your thumbnail as a a good surface to test how thin it is. You don't want it to be too watery/clear at the edges, but you don't want it to lump up either.
That also sounds smart and worth trying.
>>47580469
So far so good. I would give the blue and grey areas washes; Drakenhof Nightshade and Nulin Oil, respectively. These will really help darken them in areas you'd want them darker and should help add depth.
Also practice little by little with highlights. It takes time, and doing complicated or detailed highlights might be something better reserved for your favorite models or special units, but its worth the results. The following might help.
http://fromthewarp.blogspot.com/2011/08/basics-line-highlighting-made-simple.html
Overall, you did pretty good for a first attempt. Keep practicing and keep us updated.
>>47580996
I never realised how silly Taus looked with their tiny bodies and their bigass heads.
>>47581030
>Any tips to move on from where I am now?
The other benefit of having them grey makes it tie in with the gun, giving it a more cohesive feel. You could probably do a lot worse than your primer + agrax, it's a pretty solid combo. Maybe drybrush a grey that's close to the primer color to give it a little depth. In general I would encourage you not to rely too much on the color of your primer, because I prefer trying out new primers and don't want any of my colors to be completely dependent on my primer choice. I think the gun/pack could look good with your choice of greys, that agrax wash, and a leadbelcher drybrush.
>>47581061
>fromthewarp
it hurts every day that this site no longer updates, it literally taught me how to paint back when I started miniature wargaming.
>>47581182
That's basically all 40K minis
>>47581182
Heroic scale. They're all like that, but some of the heavy armor obscures it.
>>47580867
I like the idea.
I'd say MAYBE the upper tank skirts or whatever you call them, the parallel things right above the treads, could benefit from some colours.
Do note that the right tank has bent lascannons. Those same lascannons are not finished ? You missed some tiny bits on the barrels, and they tend to pop out in the middle of this bright colour.

This is how you fucking post in WIP threads. Take a clear pic of your mini, and people are happy to help. If it looks like you took the picture with your gameboy camera, no one has the time to pay attention to that shit.
>>47581182
>>47581347
Eh, make SM stand straight and then have their heads properly measuring them instead of a photo of a model where they're seen from not perfectly facing angle, it might be a tad different.

A miniature, especially a gaming piece, is different than a drawing though.
Big weapons make it easy to identify wargear and the heads make the minis easy to identify even from across the table.
They are made to be readable as gaming pieces.
If you put them next to a truescale mini you'll notice how off they are and how truly terrible they look in a vacuum. But for what they are and their intended purpose they work quite well.
Skirmish games usually have minis with better proportions, but go towards 30 or 32mm to get the same amount of detail on the faces. If you've tried to paint a truescale 25mm face you'll know that there is a pretty big difference there.
>>47581388
>>47581416
The other anon is right though.
Newbie did everything in his posts. He put up a good picture, which is rare enough to be mentionned, used a small spoiler, smart move to catch attention when you're scrolling. He then took critics adequately, without being buttblasted, and will probably come back with, hopefully, a logically better painted mini.
Give me a poster like that any day.
>>47581541
Oh noes.
To be fair, I'm advocate of True Scale muhreens, so I won't refute your point, on the contrary.
I'm about to start painting a bunch of Dark Eldar but I was curious if it'd be a better idea or not to leave the arms off and paint them separately. Should I leave them off or just put the whole models together and paint them like that?
>Is litterally impossible to find cadian legs without buying a full kit just for that
why the fuck i dared making a custom IG regiment?
>>47582285
I found some at mega bitz shop but they don't come in a bundle, you'd have to pay for each individual pair.
>>47581614
Arms that cross the torso can be annoying to paint yeah, to make it easier it's a good idea to keep them off, but do dry fit and glue the gun & holding arms together so that you know where they're going to contact with the body afterwards for sensible highlighting on the arms.
>>47582285
I don't know but I thank you and your like for it, I just bought 30 catachan torsos off ebay recently for a little over a fiver no doubt thanks to a custom regiment project.
>>47582472
>you'd have to pay for each individual pair
i saw, quite a pain, i think i will give up and add the legs to my victoria's order, i will spend the same, but at least i can get some fancy greatcoat legs
>>47582285
I got some recently on ebay at an average price.
>>47578491
Think your paints for fucks sake mate. Look at tht middle vehicle.
Also consider a wash.
>>47578507
I like it a lot, but man the entire left arm feels pretty neglected. The mitten could desperately do with some highlights and the poor grots face has darker skin than the mek!
>>47582818
was that price like 20 usd?
>>47582833
>>47582833
They are based Coated 3 with layers of yellow, washed, drybrushed, glazed and weathered by a brown drybrush.
You do not know what thick paint is.
In that case, I'll admit this one is my least favoritable one. Should I reglaze? Wash again? Controlled or just coat it? Better pic
>>47581592
>To be fair, I'm advocate of True Scale muhreens, so I won't refute your point, on the contrary.
I don't have $33US to shell out for it, especially since I own full-sized bottles of most of the paints that come in it anyway, but the three squadboyz you get with the new learn-to-paint Space Marine kit Citadel just put out are the closest I've seen GW make to true-scale marines. I think this is the first time I've seen a painting kit that didn't come with the cookie-cutter rejects from a previous edition's boxed set. I sure hope they start selling these ladz by themselves.
Where's that German fellow who was painting them a few threads ago?
>>47582897
I forgot the grots face... it's only basecoats and washed.
Guess I got more work to do.
Why is the thread so dead now
>>47583304
>>47582833
I think the problem you see is the front top of the engine grill near the skull. How should I fix it?
>>47583323
>Why is the thread so dead now
I suspect some of our more prolific posters got picked off by Tyranids on the way in. Either that, or they had a long day at work.
>>47583356
>I think the problem you see is the front top of the engine grill near the skull. How should I fix it?
That's a tough call... you can't use the old Imperial trick of just gluing a purity seal over the blemish. Still, it looks a lot to me like the way Orks would decorate their vehicles. What about simulated paint chipping? Or would that ruin the weathering job you've done?
>>47583536

More precisely, you should feel honoured that another anon thought highly enough of your work to use it as an exemplar for something positive - in this case, it happened to also be the WIP thread-topper.

JOHNNY! BEHIND YOU!
He's coming together.
Not a fan of how far forward he ends up on the base due to where the wings connect. May detach them and go with a clear rod up his ass after all.
>>47583879
>>47583879
>Not a fan of how far forward he ends up on the base due to where the wings connect.
You could just tilt the wings a little backwards until the body of of your prince is in the middle of the base.
If you have magnets or something like that in the back you should be able to adjust their position as well, so he stands upright in the air.
>>47583892
>>47583879
Wow, does that look neat. Is it supposed to be daemon Mortarion? 10/ 10 Would die gloriously in battle against (in the Emperor's name).
>>47584043
Just a Nurgle daemon prince, but I see what you're talking about. Thanks.
He'll have a brother since the Morghast kits builds two. The other will have a sword and maybe a shield.
Also think I'm going to snip the bells and head off the bottom of his loinguard thing. Makes it seem too long, I think.
>>47584080
Well, he looks epic. I'd love to see something like that across the table from my Blood Angels.
>>47583586
I spent hours last night combing the internet for similar color schemes to use for my everblight army, mind going through how you painted him?
>>47583666

This looks like you had a picture on your laptop, and then you took a picture of it with your phone,maybe its just me. As for the actual models they look great,l would say the tops could use some orange on the tanks but its hard to tell since we cant see the whole thing.

>>47586612
They still need a few touch ups, Their Barrels need to be drilled, their lenses need to be painted, highlights, and bases need finishing.
>>47586612
>>47586633
>Their Barrels need to be drilled, their lenses need to be painted, highlights, and bases need finishing.
And then they need to be made into a collage and resized, you really don't need over 10MB for your photos.
Not keen on the visibly-bits-of-sprue on the bases, but the termies look nice.
>>47586612
>>47586633
they also need their bases finished, but here are my Catachans.
>>47586885
Weren't these done and reposted to death litteraly months ago?
A Higgins Boat made out of foam-board I've made for Bolt Action. It's not painted yet.
>>47587172
This is pretty great! If i played Bolt Action, I would love to play against that!
Other than that, I just contribute my newest addition to my eldar force: I've got an army of over 2000pts. and those are my first jetbikes... -yes, they are biking right over your imperial golf course!heresy!
>>47587500
also starting up an imperial force, pretty much all vintage models... I "inherited" a buddys space wolves, gonna paint em up as imperial fists. It works quite well to my liking, maybe because those 2nd ed. wolves dont have too many furry attachments...
also: Spetsnaz militarum tempestus!
>>47587531
good job on the yellow!
>>47577736
Okay i am giving up on this model. i will turn him into a butcher with peg legs or something.
now i need to consider, will i try again and possibly ruin another model or try to go for a different pose
>>47587872
here are the other poses
i am trying to make them all stand out.
Still WIP, but Sigmarite Maneaters!
>>47587904
>>47587913
I'm eventually going to put them on 50mm's before I base them, and add little gnoblar buddies (all good Maneaters have a gnoblar buddy.)
>>47587921
I've never really taken pictures of my models before, so excuse the potato. Last one.

>>47587921
>>47587930
You've got the -box part right, but have kind of forgotten the light- part of the setup.
They look interesting from what I can make out, I like the contrast between the stormcast bits and the ogre bits.

About 2 weeks worth of stripping is coming together now. Not pictured are a couple more of these trays full of bits and a bunch of kans, koptas and tanks.
>>47588112
i still dont know what skin i want mine to have, but i was considering the stone grey vs dwarf flesh style. i just dont know what i want.
>>47585225
Looks super lumpy. Are they recasts or did you have some primer spray issues?
>>47580867
What models are those soldiers?
>>47582285
You can buy a box of 5 basic Cadians for £6 or less, which seems to be work out better than the mega bitz shop.
>>47587904
Its a bit difficult to see the details due to low light/low quality camera/unpainted skin but from what I can see they look really nice definitely a cool concept

GW was right after all. It's not a game. It's high quality model kits which CAN be used for gaming
>>47588560
Not the plastic monopose ones, no. The 2nd edition metal versions were pretty good, though.
>>47588251
Looks like Forge World's Solar Auxilia, HH range
>>47588656
I knew something so pretty wouldn't come cheap.
A private in my modern ImagiNation's army. The model is a Eureka Miniatures US Marine.
>>47588536
It looks excellent, ands it's painted very well... But for such an expensive model why choose such a lame, static pose? It could be braced with its legs apart like the knight at least.
>>47588132
I think the grey look is probably more challenging to paint, but it also definitely looks better.
Ogres are not just bigger men. They're a different species.
I also just think that painting them in more fleshy colors make them look less threatening. I've seen some pretty nicely painted Ogres with flesh colors, but that humanized them too much.
These guys aren't supposed to have cute red noses, they are gonna rip your head off and eat you if they are hungry. They're completely alien to a human biologically and in terms of morality. I think their looks should reflect that somehow.
>>47587886
very basic start to my gnoblar players.
how do people like this kind of helmet? also should i try to give them shoulder,knee, elbow pads or are they not worth it ?
So what is your project for the weekend Anon ?
I'm having a bit of painting burnout, so i decided to dig through some old boxes. Found these two circular plates i think i'll try to make into a two-story night club for Infinity.
>>47587671
Thank you! It's a pain in the ass, but army painter's yellow primer helps a lot...
>>47588540
well, they are "vintage" in the sense that they are oop and you can feel that in the second hand prices... doesn't feel like 10 yrs since I bought them. But don't go into feels-mode: I started myself just before 3rd edition hit the shelves, so yeah: playing/painting for a long time myself: we're getting old, but as long as you're still able to go on a playdate and bring toy soldiers, what's to regret?

Ninth Age Vamp lord. Im not great at painting so not sure what to do to get any further with this. Picture taken while varnish was drying so SHINY.
hey /wip/,
Does anyone have experience with "nested basing" of miniatures?
I'm considering a conversion project with some Skitarri but I'd like to be able to use said miniatures for both 40k and Gorkamorka.
I was thinking it'd be something like a WHFB 25mmx50mm that stacked on top of a 105x70mm Oval base ala 30k Primarch "display" bases.
Any tips would be appreciated!

I just picked up some spray to start work on a tonne of flagellants that I'm converting into psykers (I showed off the first three already, pic related). I'm going to try and power through to get them done nicely.
On a more mental level, I'm pondering what I want to do modelling wise after this since that will bring my first every army up to 1500 points. I'm tempted to convert my crimson slaughter into a custom warband that's very ice-themed. That or start on my Sigmar army because I got an empire battalion for free.

>>47590025
Oh dear lord. At least it wasn't a super mega important model from what I can tell from the remains.
>>47590025
Use the newly formed stamp to recast the marine?
>>47590025
You don't. That's bare plastic. Looks like he was stripped with a solvent that affects the plastic AND the paint. He's gone, anon. Tell him about the rabbits.
>>47590094
That wasn't "use acetone or brake fluid"...
He was asking how you dissolved a marine as it looks like it's melted.
>>47589055
I'm gonna try making some ork trukks out of a Dragon flak 88, an or trukk kit and my bitz. I've got taurox parts as well I'm hoping to put to good use.
Right now I'm trying to assemble a chassis but trying to connect mthe sets of wheels to make 4 wheels on a chassis is a bit of a pain

*ork also nother pic. Glued these wee bars together but I'm going to have to add more to strengthen the connection.
>>47590025
Make him a 4th degree burn victim for a base/diorama
>>47589174
What's that model?
>>47583879
This looks fantastic.
I'd advise against the plastic rod up the bum. It looks goofy and your mates will take the piss about it every game.
>>47583879
Use a pin into his feet instead of plastic rod up ass.
Lol just made this looted wagon instead of revising for my exams in a few days (First time using plasticard, and this board).
>>47590802
Go revise dipshit.
>>47590802
Not bad. But seriously you need to study.
>>47590025
I thought it was a bad mold to recast at first but holy shit man what the fuck happened?Fuck!Did you drop it in acid or just not stop spraying your primer? Also, if troll, well played.
>>47590300
So I posted a Leman Russ in one of these on tuesday, and a guy expressed interest in seeing the colour scheme of my guardsmen, so here's a selection (and a Commissar).
I'm not a great photographer, so the sergeant's chainsword and a guardsman's flamer are out of focus (as is the guardsman), sadly, but I hope the point kinda gets across. I know they're not fantastic, and that I've got a long way to go in terms of stuff like highlighting, but I hope they're okay. Any critique is welcome.
Haven't posted any of my stuff here in a while, so there you go. Managed to give my chaos spawns a couple of layers today. They're still WIP, mind you.
>>47589055
I have a massive need to be creative, but instead i'll spend most of saturday on a friends wedding and most of sunday cleaning up the house and working on my thesis. But at least i managed to paint a little today for the first time in literally weeks, yay.
>>47590025
He's dead, let him rest. Learn from your mistakes, never use acetone or whatever that did again. Be happy it only happend to battle brother smik. I had that happen to a demon prince, a hellbrute and a few forge world mareens. Still hurts me to this day.
>>47590802
That's a really solid conversion, considering it's your first time working with the stuff. I really gotta get into plasticard some time.
>>47591199
your lenses are great, and that green is lovely.
White Vallejo spray primer. Is impossible to remove from plastic.
The bloody thing dry oddly so now there is a coat of granny looking things.
>>47587872
i hope this looks decent. else i am gonna have to find a new pose to fill the last position on my team.
Does anyone know what the deal is with this alternate head for the Warlord Titan? Was it an event exclusive?
>>47591199
>I had that happen to a demon prince, a hellbrute and a few forge world mareens.
Are you retarded? Didn't you think that maybe it would be a good idea to testa product before using it after the first losses?
>>47591406
A tiny bit better, but doesn't look good yet. It's ok i guess.
>>47591463
Yes, it was an event exclusive. Which sucks, because i like much more than the Alpha-Pattern head.
>>47591406

>thinking 40k is a scale
>not knowing what abstraction is
>that heroic proportions are a virtue
>muh 8ft tall manlet theory
Sad obsession is sad.
>>47591406
The reason it looks weird is because it's supposed to be crouched and yet both knees are extended, the left one even beyond normal limits. For that pose to look natural, the knees should be bent ready to spring, otherwise, as it now stands it looks like either it's awkwardly falling over or getting ready to do push ups.
>>47591759
impossible with these minis i already cut away half his leg
>>47587531

>>47590025
Nurgle marine time. Might actually look pretty cool if you can manage to make it look like melting armour sloughing off his body.
>>47590001
iPod camera, technique is a secret and can only be summarized as skill or 'I put da paint on da mini', don't have a full model complete but I am aiming for a gritty look, something realistic looking, here is another master piece complete, eyes are drying so they look wet
>>47592303
He wasn't complimenting your 'skill', he was trying to work out what you were doing wrong so he could help you fix it. And please stop it with the unnecessary namefaggotry.
>>47592303
Also here is one of the test minis I painted, was practicing black and eyes only so no silver on this one

>>47591759
>>47591786
okay i am done, il find a different pose. i have no idea how this guy did it.
>>47592338
As you can see, the left knee is bent, think of it as a support and a way to lunge forward. The legs you did are both stretched, which makes it look unnatural.
>>47591463
>>47591717
Well you should be happy to know that you can now pre-order the Lucius Alpha pattern Warlord Titan head from Forge World for the low low price of 60 pounds sterling or a kidney.

That is not the same head.
Fuck Fuck Fuck
>>47585665
Fucking sexy, i really like the scheme. Nice work anon.
>>47591199
I don't think i've ever seen models like that. Where can you get them? Especially the bloke with the shield and sword.

Looks like it was you primer that's messing it up.
If it's really hot or more importantly really humid when you spray your primer can go grainy like that.

But not tiny enough for epic
Is there a new game I'm unaware of?
>>47593862
It's so small. I want to feed it a tiny cracker.
I'm guessing that's for epic scale or something?
I just finished this reaper dwarf. First time trying the freehand gems.
>>47593885
epic scale, dreadnought base on a uk 1p coin. official GW plastic mini from a long time ago but given a slight repose and extra heraldry.

Hey /tg/ i was wondering if you could help me out.
I'm looking for theorigin of the top part of the war banner i'm using for my snakebite nobz, got it in a bitzlot on ebay ages ago and always wondered...
>>47594860
yes they do
>>47595297
From the old metal black orc banner model from fantasy
>>47595297
That's from the limited edition orc standard bearer released a few years ago now.
>>47595401
>>47595403
Thanks anons, knew i could count on you.
>>47595437
Im actually doing snakebites as well, how'd you about making your boyz look more feral?
Any pics?
>>47595522
Literally just started anon but generally sculpting fur, adding trophies and carefully choosing heads.
>>47595587
>>47595522
I'm usually a bloodaxe anon but i bought a squiggoth at forgeworld over the weekend to start my snakebites and converted a weirdboss to lead da boyz.
Not taking credit though, i shamelessly ripped it from this site, might be worth a read; http://www.spikeybits.com/2014/09/ork-weirdboy-plastic-conversion.html.
>>47595587
If you want some help, on page 6 onwards is some feral ork art and pics that can help you, im just starting as well.

Ill probably greenstuff sculpt some stuff too, but its gonna be hard.
>>47594071
>Crashing this Titan - with no survivors.
>>47595690
Fur is surprisingly easy, i picked up the technique first time, just go at it.
>>47595678
Snakebites are best clan. These are looking cool anon.
>>47595678
>>47595587
Yeah im Bad moons anon, they just seem cool and playing mech is getting tiring so green tide seems nice.
The tribal uncivilized theme of snakebites is really neat as well, like space wolves but less furry and cool because its on an ork, not space marine.
>>47591199
Anon, I saw your work ages ago when you converted those models, and then you spat out the first few pictures of them being painted, which looked god awful. I had no hope of them improving, as many great things turned to garbage that Ive seen over the years, but as I sit here in a pool of my own tears, i hope you can find it within yourself to forgive me for not having hope.
Also what did you shade your green with? Dark reaper, or just nuln oil?
>>47595821
Spacewolves without the yiff, i like that anon, i like it a lot.
>>47583586
OP here
>go on /tg to check reactions on my brillinat painting skillzz, thread has died. browse trough same old tired meme op pics but meh... why not use something cool made by someone from wip? thus happened
seriously /wip no matter however authistic or cantanqerous you may be (sometimes you even say mean things about my plastic men) there is a real comminity here, with anons on all skill levels and most want to share their knowledge to produce cool painted mini's. i feel honoured to paint with you sirs!
but anyhow >>47589055
more lighting on my power fist i guess, but tonight i painted this horror musician, destraction demon
Making a start on a small force of Sigmarines, the rest of my store has starting

and I thought I might as well give it a go.

I blame the exams I had all this week.
>>47593117
could you post a close-up of the head area from straight on?
>>47596268
99% of the people who bash AoS do it for reasons that have nothing to do with the game itself. You do you, hambread
>>47596792
This is mostly a side project to do some different colours and have a small force on hand to get more gaming in when in store. I had no actual investment in WHFB, so decided to put the torch-and-pitchfork aside and just try the game out.
I might bail to the new Sylvaneth though, I do like me some elves.

Not sure if this will help, but ... maybe?
First time posting here. Starting a force of Black Templars, first test model here. Thoughts?
>>47592982
They may sound crazy, but as some of >>47597303 mentions, look at guides on contouring with makeup and apply the same concepts to painting.
>>47597666
I really don't know why you'd prime BTs white.
Metallics don't look too hot on the sword.
>>47597291
Use a small brush you fucking mong.
are army painter color primers worth the expense?
>>47598136
do you hate basecoating that much? then yes
if not, then no
>>47598136
They do what they say they do, and plenty recommend them.
Whether that's worth it is a personal decision.
>>47598158

cool, thanks I'll pick some up then
Advice?
>>47598388
1. learn to use a fucking camera
2. take it to /wip/
>>47598411
Is wip not wip?
No idea why it uploaded this way, have a bag of dicks

>>47598411
Let's all point at this guy and laugh. Idiot.
>>47598442
Not that guy, but your photo is shite.
It uploaded like that because you're phoneposting and 4chan doesn't give a flying fuck about the metadata your phone uses to know what way up the image should be.
Take a new pic, open and save it in a photo editing app, then reupload.
>>47598475
>>47598444
>>47598442
fuga-at least I was right about telling him to learn to use a camera
>>47598411
>>47598388
why can't you fucking people take a fucking normal photo? why are you picking it up? what makes you think you should pick it up? why can't you focus on the model we are trying to look at?
It looks good, I guess. Gun could use some work - metal looks a bit flat. Mouldlines on right arm.
>>47598411
>>47598490
I'm at work so unfortunately I can't.
>>47598512
Because I'm dicking around at work
>>47598388
Did you have bother getting coverage on the brass parts of the slugga? Because it looks just like how my brass came out when I was painting over steel on my first few nobz as well.
The trick I found was to put down a thing coat of brown first then apply the bronze, then it looks more like a different piece of metal rather than some colour on top of the same (if that makes sense).
Other than that everything is looking good! but as others have said the picture quality could be hiding some flaws.
>>47598594
I didn't have any issues with the brass/copper over the leadbelcher but I'll try your method.
It's finally done. Sort of.
Damn, I feel mad special. I even colored in the lines. I am great artist.
And to think it only fell over once before I got it into a relatively stable positioning. It's ridiculously top-heavy, and suffers from the Curse of Guardsman Shoot The Ankles. Still gotta get a support rod for it, to balance the weapons on a tripod (Where the cutters are as a stopgap). After that, spruce up the base and everything will be flawless. Absolutely flawless.
I was gonna ask about base decorations, but given how this monster is dominating the largest base I could find on the market, I don't think anything else could fit. I'll figure something out. Some trees and foliage, yeah.
