This is a Scourge I worked on this afternoon. I've never done wings before but I think they turned out pretty good. Still need to base it obviously but I had fun with the model. One thing I struggled with was the hair. I was trying to go for an aqua-marine/emerald color, a very bright greeny blue but I just couldn't get it to work.
im trying to get a hold of airbrushing for basecoating my nids and some stuff
shame I was only able to do the upper part of the leg kinda right
Getting some Super Dungeon painted for a friend.
God I really want to play Frostgrave with these things.
>>47636114
>I was trying to go for an aqua-marine/emerald color, a very bright greeny blue but I just couldn't get it to work.
Hmmm... I just picked up a bottle of Citadel's Drakenhof Nightshade. I wonder how that would look washed over a bright greenish-blue. What approach did you take?
>>47636796
I based in Temple Guard Blue, then washed it with a watered down Waywatcher Green glaze. Then I dry-brushed it with Niblet Green and Skink Blue before finally washing it lightly again with a dark blue.
Honestly I was just throwing everything I could think of at it. It came out alright but it's not the color depth I was hoping for.
Well, everyone starts somewhere
>>47637253
is that 3d printed?
>>47637265
yeah, I'm the guy from last thread
>>47637296
this guy precisely, since I can back link >>47627941
>>47637253
What exactly am I looking at?
>working on my unit of gunmages
>one of the poses has terrible flaws
>get discouraged and don't want to paint them anymore
I've pretty much accepted that the model is going to turn out ugly as shit. Can't really hide massive flaws on the model. Maybe pp will send me out a replacement model.
I'll just work on my vanguard instead.
>>47636524
how big is that model? id love to use it minus the scythe as a imp in frostgrave
>>47637420
Me learning how to paint by mucking about with bases 3d printed for cheap minis. The two on the right were supposed to look like concrete, the one on the left was an experiment in what Leadbelcher would look like.
So are the treads on the rhino supposed to snapfit somehow? They ended up being the only thing I really felt the need to use glue on.
>>47637469
They need to be glued on.
>>47637568
does anything else really need to be glued? it seems to fit together just fine without it.
>>47637693
I always glue the side doors, the sides, and the front plate down, I just leave the roof and the rear door loose. I only glue the top hatch down if I have no intention of swapping it out for something.
I need help with a Forest scheme for Tau. I was thinking Olive green armor and brown fatigues.
What's a good highlight to olive green?
What's a good way to do brown fatigues?
And what's a good way to do forest bases? I'd prefer to avoid drowning everything in flock.
>>47638031
Forest floor would actually be mostly dirt, with leaves and twigs.
Reposting this here from the 40k general a few days back, my blue Mechanicus. Gonna finish up the Rangers, then it's on to painting a fuckton of automata and that Dunecrawler.
Just finished the base for Miss Step (Malifaux).
Hey WIP, I recently picked up a Maw-Krusha (pic related) and I'm unsure what to do with the base. It's got a lot of room so I could do something neat, but I don't know if I want to start a new "Orc only" army or include him in my Spider tribal Goblins army.
The spider tribe I wanted to look like it's in a swamp, which I'm not sure would look as good with the Maw-crusha which looks like it belongs on a wrecked battlefield or up in the snowy mountains.
I'm not sure, help/ideas plox?
>>47637437
He's not exactly tiny.
>>47638572
I like it.jpeg
I have some 3d models i need printed for a conversion project I'm working on, pic related.
Can anyone recommend a service? I'm not sure who's good and bad in the industry; I was thinking of just going local so in the event something goes wrong I can actually go and yell at them in person.
>>47639120
I've used shapeways twice now for shoulderpads and vehicle icons. I'm not sure what they would charge for that but you get to select the material.
What kind of brushes do you assholes use?
>>47640057
Mostly GW ones but when i need to go fine detail i break out the winsor and newton sable size 1 & 0
![DSCN0115[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/JXWfUZI.jpg "DSCN0115[1].jpg")
10 down, another 10 to go.
Still got Cassius, Blood Raven, a Crimson Fist (heavy weapon of some sort), a Sons of Antaeus (done in truescale because they're supposed to be gigantic), Salamander (converted to power armour), Mentor Legion ( tacticool sternguard), and 1 or 2 other conversions.
>>47638782
Dats a weird lookin squiggoth
>>47640119
Minotaur's looking good, I'm surprised I've never noticed him posted before. Shield is the head of a tack?
Anyone have suggestions as to alternate models for Nurgle Blight Drones?
Someone suggested Plague drones but they are barely 1/3 the size.
I don't mind conversion work thought the idea is to keep build budget below the price of the official FW drones.
>>47640417
He was the last to be finished. Yep its a brass tack. Problem was nothing would stick to it. So I had to scuff it up with sandpaper, then prime it, then paint it brass again, which was annoying.
>>47635994
reposting because it was near ded thread.
i swapped the legs from model a to model b for 2 models and swapped right leg a with right leg b for 2 more.
2 have normal legs. most have at least 1 ironguts arm and most arms had to at least be re positioned with a blob of grey stuff in the sockets.
the runners arm was cut up and changed so much to get that pose i had to sculpt half the arm, hoping it will look decent when primed.
>>47638437
Ooh, looks nice.
I was thinking of doing blue Mechanicus to go with my Storm Wardens, mind sharing how you did them?
VERY WIP dwarf warriors. third color, first layer past primer. Ten down with the brass, seven left.
>>47640119
these two look particularly good. although I'd be a little concerned about the loyalty of that Dark Angel wearing a HH era shoulder pad.
>>47640967
I am a fucking retard
>>47640919
Cloaks are Caledor Sky, then a coat of Teclis Blue watered down to nothing along the folds and upper surfaces where light would hit, then Teclis Blue in thin lines around the hems and such.
Armor is Runelord Brass painted right over the black undercoat, Leadbelcher on the edges to give it some shine, then dabbled or streaked with N(vowels) Oxide, that worn brass technical paint. I focus on rivets and joints in the armor where it'd be harder to polish.
Metallic parts are just Leadbelcher and then Nuln oil, the wooden guns are Rhinox Hide and then drybrushed in the direction of the wood grain with Gorthor Brown. Lenses are Waagh! Flesh and then Moot Green, all lenses, glassware, and screens get a layer of Ardcoat to shine them up.
Still not sure on the basing, thinking forested or woodland to keep the color scheme in the cool colors spectrum, I've only used red and yellow in stuff like the wiring to underline the details.
I haven't built or painted miniatures in about six or seven years now, kind of feeling as I go along, what works and what doesn't. There's a GW guy (I think his name is Duncan) who does painting tutorials, I've watched most of them, learned other lessons the hard way.
anyone used these or can tell me how they work?
>>47640981
seventeen seems like a weird number for a unit, but the blue/brass looks pretty good so far
Ok so I've just tried doing a wash and it really doesn't look right. Am I doing something wrong here? Yes I'm a complete newfag. Should I not be using black? Is the wash too thick?
>>47641460
I think the issue with washing him is that your green is pretty thick, and has some kind of weird texture to it. It almost looks like super fine flock or texture paint. The wash is hanging in the texture.
Though to answer your initial question, I think you're supposed to wash and then highlight over the washes, that'll make the edges of the plates and such stand out more.
>>47641505
>>47641460
The weird texture looks like he's either primed too thick or from too far away(bits of it drying mid air and then sticking to the model to produce a weird texture)
The tiny dots of white showing through all over him also hint to that.
>>47641505
Yeah, I think i sprayed the undercoat on way too thick, hence the odd texture. There's just one layer of watered green on it, so I think it has to be the undercoat. Was pretty difficult to tell when it was covered with the white due to the colour of the resin itself, I wound up overcompensating trying to get it in all the recesses. Might use black for the next model (Vyper). I'm going Iyanden, does yellow/blue work well on a black undercoat?
Think I might just forgoe washing these models and just highlight them instead. Glad I didn't start with the Exarch. Thanks for the backfeed dudebro.
>>47641584
Yeah, primed too thick. I sprayed from about 30cm away, a la the instructions. Was that too far? The thick texture made it really fucking hard to paint, just sucked up all the liquid, I probably used about twice as much green as I would have needed. Any tips/videos on undercoating in general?
Not sure if I should add a blood effect to his scythe... I think the blood would distract from the rust or possible be kind of confusing to look at.
>>47641460
Use a green wash instead. If you use a black wash you need to go back over with your original green on the raised armor plates, and leave the black wash in the cracks.
Also all washes look dirty and weird like that, unless you gloss varnish before washing, or use an oil wash/pin wash which also requires varnishing.
>>47641890
Ahh, coolio. Thanks man, will try out a darker green.
>>47641861
No! I have no problem with models with open sores etc, but blood effects 9 times out of 10 all but ruin a model
>>47642185
blood effects splashed all over a model's weapons / splattered all over them I meant to say
What's the most creative objective marker you've seen? I've been thinking of making some Imperial Guard related ones, like a flag, a bleeding out commissar, commander half crushed by a wrecked chimera.
>>47642271
Played a 3-way game recently where we used a Vortex Deathstrike launcher as the objective. 500 pts each, squads respawn when they are wiped, if you control the objective until your next shooting phase you give one of the other players a marker, representing a missile strike. 2 strikes removes a player. Was pretty fun, but dragged on a bit. Eventually the Eldar dude won because fucking ghostaxe Wraithblades with a warlock are ridiculous.
This is my custom "Lord of the Plagues" model for Warhammer Quest, what a blast to paint.
>>47642455
>no hook hand
Letting me down senpai.
>>47642505
Couldn't find one in my bitz box :<
but It was a good idea and I did look!
>>47642455
Wow, that's amazingly disgusting.
>>47642455
That actually made me flinch when i opened it... makes me feel itchy for some reason fucking disgusting and bloody good
In the middle of working on this guy.
Well I made a vague attempt at cleaning this guy up. Still looks like ass, but slightly less so maybe. Ah well, we live and learn, I'll undercoat properly next time.
>>47642730
Good job anon! From what I remember from the last thread he looks better now. I would clean up on the sword and his helmet where it meets the hair. Did you use a wash on him? If not slather that baby up.
>>47641861
Looking pretty damn good just the way he is.
>>47638782
You could do the swamp theme easy enough by having it's sitting on broken tree logs and stuff. That way it'd fit the theme with the army better.
>>47641352
I've been told they are effectively the same as normal with also having a little bit of 'Ardcoat mixed in. Unsure if accurate though.
>>47642766
Thanks, I tried a wash on one of the other Scorps and, well, see >>47641460
I fucked up the priming somehow, got way too thick a coat. I'll try black on the next model (Vyper) and see how that goes. Need to highlight him next, I was thinking screaming skull or some other light colour. Any recommendations? Oh and pic related is him before damage control.
>>47642813
Maybe try something like this for highlighting on the edges. Or just add white to your previous greens till you get the color you want.
How do you learn to identify the consistency and the quantity needed such that the paint doesn't blob up on the figure, but it also still applies to the figure rather than being stuck in the brush
Or did I just buy a really shit brush to save money?
Anyone know how the heck you add the underslung shuriken cannon to the Vyper model? There's literally no place/way for it to fit without cutting bits off the model.
>>47642926
If it blobs up, it's too thick.
If it won't come off the brush, it's also too thick.
If it flows away from the brush all over the place, that's when it's too thin. And you're probably having way too much on the brush.
A bad brush won't affect paint consistency, instead you get a bad tip, and it won't hold as much paint.
hey guys i have bought storcast part of starter box , have u got some ideas to convert them to deathwing termies ?
making a Hell Blade for my Khorne army.
>>47642813
mix 1/1 green and yellow and highlight the edges of the armour. basically you want the colour of goblin skin.
I'm reasonably happy with these, given that I haven't painted in 10 years. Base paints + wash + an attempt at flesh highlighting, which generally resulted in just painting over the flesh entirely. Is there anything I can do to improve on them, without spending forever doing highlights?
>>47643217
Second squad. Fucked up the primer a little, but I think I managed to salvage it.
>>47643217
Seems pretty good for guardsmen. Decals for squad/army markings would be an easy way to add something without having to worry about doing highlights.
>>47643243
Where do you get them from these days? I've hauled all of my current lot out of my attic, but I'm looking to buy a few more. Do boxes come with any decals, and/or are there better places to get them from?
Also, the base texture paint that GW sells looks like easymode for basing. Is that actually the case/is it worth the price?
So here's my first Guard commissar, and I honestly think it's one of the best models I've ever painted, took me a few hours. What do you think?
>>47637253
Anyone else want to weigh in on the quality of my first project? Should I just use basic black bases?
>>47643309
Same from the back
>>47643310
What's the point for? To indicate direction, or just for style? Basing looks good, and should look good even if you switch to regular bases.
>>47643309
Holy fuck that sword is out of scale, dude should be falling over backwards. Nice paintjob though, well done.
>>47643281
boxes should still come from them, and I imagine they'd be cheap to pick up on places like ebay
never tried the base texture paint, so I can't comment on it
>>47643309
>>47643318
The red on the back of the collar needs to be tidied up, but otherwise job's a good 'un.
>went back to my old Lizardmen army
>so much stuff is broken and missing
>no idea what fits what and I don't have the boxes still
And nothing fucking sticks. I need a good plastic glue.
How is Revell contacta glue, lads?
on the brink of buying my first 40k miniatures, gonna be my first experience with tabletop.
I am afraid of fucking up the miniatures because my hands shake like hell.
Any experience regarding shaky hands and how to compensate?
>>47643505
Press the bottom of your palms against each other, and anchor both your elbows on the table.
>>47643309
I like it anon, can't wait to see how he looks once you tidy up the base.
>>47643541
>>47643330
>>47643341
Thanks guys. First time /tg/ has thought my painting was good (I posted some not-great smurfs in the thread yesterday), and I'm glad you like it.
>>47643505
How shaky? Mine tremble a wee bit and I like to think my dudes come out okay. Alot of the stuff I just use the edge of the brush to get details that pop up.
>>47643505
I just take it slow, try and control my breathing, and do things in short strokes where hopefully my shaking won't fuck it up.
But I can empathise, anon, it's rough when you want to paint
>>47643505
Shout "BOLLOCKS" every time you slip, then grudgingly reach for the colour you need to touch up.
>>47643564
It's for you anon, you deserved it.
>>47640976
>that Dark Angel wearing a HH era shoulder pad.
It's not what you think. His left shoulder pauldron is standard Deathwatch issue, and his right shoulder pauldron is embellished because Zameon Gydrael was a Company Champion before being seconded from the Dark Angels chapter.
>>47643536
Thanks ! Gonna try this one sounds good for additional stability
>>47643572
To the point where i can't draw a straight line, it looks all jittery and messy in general.
>>47643590
I start holding my breath don't even know why. I guess I too should work on controling my breath.
>>47643281
>Where do you get [waterslide transfers] from these days?
Have you considered Bartertown?
The generic Space Marines sheet comes with transfers for half-a-dozen chapters. When I suggested I'd be happy to trade the chapters I didn't need (Ultramarines, Black Templars, Salamanders, etc.) for others' Blood Angels transfers, they just *sent* them to me free of charge.
Similarly, I gave away some of my Cadian transfers since I only had the one box and it comes with markings for several different regiments.
>>47643627
Yeah anon, holding your breath will probably only make the shakes worse. It's a tough thing to pick up, but I got faith in you
>>47643505
How shaky are we talking? A chronic condition? If not, I've heard that eating a meal to get your blood sugar up will help reduce trembling. Also bracing your hands/forearms on a table is a good idea, shakes or no.
>>47642455

How long does it usually take for minis to ship? I know I'm being impatient but damn it, I want to start painting! They departed austin tx saturday morning.

Just checked the tracking page again and apparently it arrived in my town this morning. Can't fucking wait.
>>47644011
What did you get?
>>47643612
i know its a deathwatch marine, but his shoulder pad has black with chequers on which is a HH dark angel thing. They changed to Dark Green after the Heresy (except the Deathwing who still wear the black)
doesnt matter though because i think the HH chequered black one he's done looks alot better than the GW version in pic related.
Alright. Imperial guard APC's with the razorback turrets put on them.
What do you guys think? should i shell out the cash to make this a reality.
>>47644013
A whole bunch of reaper bones minis. 14 as I recall. Didnt want to buy anything expensive to learn with. My buddy is actually paying me to paint one for his character, despite me not being good yet which is pretty cool. Ill take a pic of them tonight if I can. I'm gunna git gud guys, I promise.
>>47644043
Fuck that, make them led by a renegade Inquisitor and stick the top half of a Monolith on there. Particle Whip dedicated transports motherfucker.

Noyce, you can't be worse than me m8e. Looking forward to pics.
How many paint pots fo you guys own?
I built a stand today. It was originally going to be for all my paints
It only cost about 4 bucks worth of wood and a 2 dollar pva glue. I just put pieces of 20cm timber 1, 2, 3, 4 high like a pyramid, and spray painted them with black primer. You could even leave them unglued if you want to expand your army.
>>47644284
Nice. Always love a bit of /diy/ you have very few paints though.
>>47644281
>How many paint pots do you guys own?
Including Citadel pots, Testor bottles, and other manufacturer's dropper bottles but not the virtually useless bottles of craft store paint, 73.
>>47644408
well shittttt, you caught me. thats the real reason i repurposed it. i bought nowhere near enough wood for my paints (even though most are the thin AP dropper bottles)
>>47644467
That looks like a well loved station anon.
>>47644281
38. I could easily deal with only using 25 colours though.
>>47644281
13, though I only started painting a few weeks ago. Picked up the citadel base paint set, a flesh layer and a wash.
>take pictures of model
>forget to photo the front
I'm the best. Did a quick paint-up of a Brother Vinni wastelander. Fun little model.

If you're a bum who likes to lean back while curling your legs in the chair you can prop both your hands on your kneecap.
Sometimes I get in the zone and suddenly realize that I've used my kneecap as a palette.
>>47644523
Haha damn. Well you can always expand it. I just keep mine in a couple of boxes. Normally I group them as colour schemes for armies so I don't forget the colours if I take a break.
>>47644281
Over 200. Being colour blind I can't reliably mix paints on the fly as colours across a gradient look too similar. So I tend to work either from the pot or make a series of pots up with known ratios to serve as my gradient all at once and number them so I know what I'm looking at.
>>47643217
They look very clean, I like it. I'd maybe go in and do some edge highlighting on the armor though.
>>47644690
Thats rough man.
I have a grand total of 5 because I just started. Probably going to pick out another half dozen this week now that I've dabbled.
Any good colors or mixes for flesh that you all want to tell me?
>>47644467
you have more brushes than paints...
>>47644845
>you have more brushes than paints...
Whenever I happen across a Michaels craft store, I go in with a 40% off coupon and buy myself one good brush, whether I need it or not. This builds up after a while.
I *rarely* throw a brush away unless it's absolutely destroyed. Even if they are cheap, shitty, or totally ruined, you can still use them to get paints out of pots, mix paints together, slather PVA glue on terrain, or mop up extra water.
working away at a fully loaded black templar landing craft. All the red lenses/lights to do next, not feeling the motivation -.-'
>>47644467
250 not including washes and inks. And none of them are the goo GW call paints.
>>47644281
33, not counting duplicates. Three are home-made washes or glazes, three are surprisingly okay old crafts paints my mother gave me and one is a Tamiya Smoke.
I may have managed to convince my FLGS owner to stock Vallejo in parallel with GW, which would be nice.
How do I paint black properly
I don't just want to prime and then highlight
>>47645061
And I forget the picture like an idiot.

Complete P3 range (sans metals)
Tamiya Clear
Vallejo glaze and varnish

Scale 75 metals + flesh set
Gunze Mr Metal (haven't used these)
AK Pigments

Decided to use the Darkoath Chieftain as the base for the Wolf King. Deciding whether or not to give him some details that suggest a post-apoc setting or just keep him purely AoS.
>>47645070
Why don't you want to? There isn't much to painting over than highlighting(if you don't consider specific advanced techniques pbviously). What would you wish to do over than highlighting?
>>47645070
Well if you dont want to start with black and work up from there, one thing you can do is paint a few layers of a very dark grey, then wash it with a black ink/wash to get it super dark (almost black), then highlight it.
I usually basecoat white, so that's how I do my blacks.
>>47645506
I mean, just priming black and then highlighting my black primer seems lazy and cheap
I've lost all willpower to put finishing touches on my current mini, due to accumulation of mistakes.
Do I just move on and start on the next one? Because that's what I want to do.
>>47645800
A change is as good as a break.
Start anew, come back to this one later
>>47645506
Not him, but you should tell me the names of these advanced techniques so I can look them up.
>>47645845
Not that anon, but:
Drybrushing, glazing, Blending, (wet, feathered, extreme highlight), Non metallic metals, and Shading all come to mind.
>>47645617
If you really feel the urge to basecoat just prime it grey and then base it black. If you need to wash it base it dark grey like the other anon said. If you just want to suffer you could simply blend or feather it ,so it's not as "lazy"
>>47645845
Like non metallics metals, realistic light and that stuff. Try looking into cool mini or not 's ultimate painting guide. It's not too in depth,but it is very interesting. (It's named CMON ultimate guide in the op)

Wow i did not read that chain correctly and feel retarded.
Painting black can feel cheap and painful, but there are plenty of ways to deliver yourself some justice on the issue.
if your okay with having a NOT hypersaturated black (le gray instead) The new imperial primers have a gray shade that can literally be washed with black and then a minor highlight for a lighter alternative.
Edge highlighting ive seen can be done in a few different colors, and MY favorite happens to be brown. Let me see if i can drag up that WD page on when they covered it, or whatever. It lets you do warm colors, ESPECIALLY beige cloth so much better and it all blends so spectacularly.

I have a low grit textured spray paint that I intended to use as the primer on the can portions. Will that help? Will it be sufficient?
Can anyone give advice on making your own scenery? I'm thinking about making some for my Guard who are from an industrial world

I, too, am working on a Lord of Plagues model for warhammer quest, though I've not chosen which arm to go with.
Which one looks better?
>>47646798
Flail.

Seconding this. Flail is much better.

I agree, I recently did ot for one of the minisame I'm working on and I'm kind of upset about it. The miniature is standing on a pile of human bodies and is Nick named the butcher so I feel like I was obligated. Pic related.

Thanks anon!
>>47646125
>I must know the recipe for the armor on him. I have a squad of plague marines that need doing but the armor color has been a deciding point for me.
Oh man... I'm honestly not sure anymore. I just kept trying different things until it started looking the way I wanted to. If I had to simplify it so some one else could copy it I would say;
pick a sickly shade of green like nurgle green or what ever the equivalent is now.
Ink in Devan mud or equivalent and then ink in Sepia.
Then basically paint the model in the orginal shade of color avoiding the cracks and crevices with a wide birth so the transition from light to dark is visible.
Pick a highlight color which is probably a mixture of your original green a d some other light green. Start picking raised edges or surfaces.

I owned the entirety of the old GW line and I'm slowly switching over to the new stuff after a long hiatus.
>>47646955
Well your post was pretty vague.
What kinds of terrain are you thinking of making ? Bunkers ? fences ? Fox holes ?
General paint scheme for snakebites, just browns and shit.
I like it. Caramel brown aka xv88 is my favorite so far
Time for the fun part
>>47646798
I like the arm with the bell, he looks like a cutey. The flail thing makes him look more menacing though. What kind of personality do you want the mini to have?
>>47647026
Well so I was thinking for an industrial army, so like, things you might find in factories and stuff. So machinery really
>>47646798
He looks adorable with the bell tentacle. The model is already adorable with the shaved horn for his axe.
Fucked this up pretty bad. Bought the wrong paints, no base colors just layers, so now I have like 4 layers of gold and off white :(
Where is church anon, is this enough church for you? I only seek your approval.
Ps, the new bases may be really shit quality, but the gloss shades are really nice on metallics now
>>47647321
That primer looks pretty rough, anon. What did you use?
>>47647132
>cutey
>>47647199

first time I've ever heard those words with nurgle in the mix.
>What kind of personality do you want the mini to have?
Well, I envision him a fighter secondly, and a "preacher" or the word of nurgle first and foremost. You know, he really is there to try to make friends, and have some fun with his axe on the way.
I like both the flail and the tentacle, so it's sorta hard to choose.

Krylon primer. I only primed 3 dudes tho and I'm not too happy with it.

>>47646608
Do soft covers. Don't try to prime it too fast or the paint it's going to look weird. I use an airbrush for that kind of things, but spray should work. Nice work, btw.
I'm painting this right now. The horse need a little more work, and I haven't started with the NMM, but I think that i'm almost over with McCabe.
>>47647482
There's only one good car primer I know of, and that's Duplicolor Sandable Primer. Shit's great, if you can find it.
>>47647518
Honestly, depends how serious you are about the hobby, when I got fed up of using GW primers I took the plunge and bought a cheap airbrush and vallejo surface primer, its an investment but in the long term you will save a lot of money and even learn a new skill set you can apply to your models if you're feeling daring.

I used GW primer, so far I never had any problem but
it had some kind of "dust" on it and now all my models have an horrible grainy surface.
I have ow a fucking celestant prime and a box of prosecutors completely ruined.
How can I strip it without harming the model?
EU italy fag. Tried with a "degreaser", wich is great to strip paint but cant strip the primer.

One of the WHFB orc weapons kinda looks like a crude meat cleaver.

I can.
Thanks a lot for the tip, it was more than 100 bucks of stuff and trashing it would have broken my heart.
Fucking lgs, they don't want to refund even the spray, and I still have the receipt.
Next time Im fucking going to buy from the fucking GW store. The managers usually are crazy, but its the only place in my area that treats customers with a minimu care. Other stores only see you as a fucking cash machine without even trying to be polite.
After almost six month in paint remover. Where the Vallejo white primer didn't got remove but the glue did. The grain that made me strip the paint of in the first place is gone.
>>47648022
>Thanks a lot for the tip, it was more than 100 bucks of stuff and trashing it would have broken my heart.
I'm not sure what brands they might have in Italy, so make *sure* it has no acetone in it, and try it out on one model before you dump the lot in. The cheap stuff from Walmart (I'm in the US) worked great for me.
>>47640119
A few look a little bland to me and the highlights are a little thick in some spots. They really need to be based for that extra pop. Pretty good overall though.
>>47648154
there are a lot of brands of acetone-free nail polish removers.
Gonna get one tomorrow and try it on one test model
Thanks a lot for the tip!
>>47648185
Or on extra bitz
I had models that metal, 2 types of resin, and at least 3 different brand of plastic.
For some reason the was one type of plastic that felt it bonded on a molecular level to the paint as only a dremel with a soft sander could remove the paint.
So different paint removers worked better with different materials.
>Tfw want OOP orks
Can the guy who has the rogue trader search tell me how to properly search for oop orks on ebay? Doesnt have to be too old, just metal mainly.

The gemstone paints are quite nice. You can use any color as the "base" for them to get a different effect. I used leadbelcher to darken the gem color and it turned out great. Some guy used evil sunz scarlet and the red one and it made a "gooey-fleshy" look for his Tyranids flesh sacs.
>>47647929
How long should I leave them in the nail polish remover?
>>47643136
Sick idea. You go girl.
>>47647321
You can base with layers, just need a little more layering depending on the color. Make sure to hit it with a wash and then clean up the lighter spots.
>>47648642
>How long should I leave them in the nail polish remover?
For what you see in >>47648154, I left them in only a minute or two at the most. As you can see, there's a First Edition Rhino in there. I didn't have enough nail polish remover to submerge even one piece of it in its entirety. I dipped my toothbrush in the solvent and scrubbed every piece until the paint bitz came off. Then I ran each piece under tap water, which is why everything in the photo is wet.

I'm trying to make a chaos sorcerer cabal on bikes, but I dont want to use bikes, so I'm thinking of having some sort of walker backpack like Doc Ock or Zim. Anyone here try something similar and have any tips for the tentacles/legs and the scale?

>Can the guy who has the rogue trader search tell me how to properly search for oop orks on ebay? Doesnt have to be too old, just metal mainly.
Hmm... can't say I've done a lot of searching for Orks. In WHFB, they call them "Orcs", so maybe using the terms "Orks" and "Ork" would get more finely-tuned results. Also, eliminating anything with "WHFB" in the title should help, too. When I tried this:
warhammer (oop,"rouge trader","rogue trader",metal,vintage) ("ork","orks") -epic -whfb
... the "Best Match" results came back with a whole bunch of First Edition Space Orks at the top, and 684 results to scroll through, so maybe that's a good start.
When the ordinary heavy flamer is too small and too boring.
>>47647546
Smooth as fuck. Post everything younhave ever painted pls
>>47648933
Actually not,i thought you needed generic stripping,sorry. Note that no matter what you strip with some primers will stain the plastic.(but won't have any thickness so you shouldn't worry about those cases.
>>47645070
Generally, using raw black pigment is frowned upon in the painting world. Google 'toned black painting' for some advice. I tend to use a toned black that contrasts with the mini's base color, but that's me.
>>47648881
Thick guitar strings, like bass ones, would work for Doc Ock style tentacles.
>>47648529
I play TT and I use him as a control master; it has lot's of synergy with some minions (dawn serpent, monks and austringer). Also, Luna make deliver a message almost for free.

It's a bit too busy but that might be the flash on the camera. Wings came out great, but I would have made the armor much darker with all the bright stuff you're trying to put in there.
The red and purple also don't work at all. The purple could, but not next to the red. I'd leave the red out and replace it with ivory or a faded grey/blue

Generally, if I'm working in metal, I go all out. Goof Off also eats cyanoacrylate glue, so you don't have to risk damaging precious metal models chipping that shit off, either. This will of course mean sacrificing any plastic arms or backpacks, but I know I have plenty of spares in my bitzboxes.
BFG flight stands, OTOH, might be a little harder for some to come by ... but I also have a bag of those.

Dude, make a base, back, and 3 walls of foam core and curve a piece of bristle board from the front of the bottom to the top of the back and you are done.
Throw parchment paper over your light source to diffuse your lights.
Bob is your uncle.
Sally is your aunt.

>>47649871
It's has a mix of gothic horror, cowboys and steampunk. Sounds a little retarded at first, but everything fits together nicely.
And yes, the game uses a poker deck instead of dices. That is what allows the player to have a little control over the chance.
It's a really cool game, try it if you can.
Also I'm working too in these.
>>47650166
That could work, or maybe try your hand at some object source lighting - I've seen people work wonders with the technique, although it's way beyond my skill level.
>>47645070
For my commissar, as I felt the same, I used a very dark gray over a black undercoat and washed with nuln oil
>>47650329
Did you wash into the recesses or slather it all over the place?
>>47650003
Thanks man, I'll try that on the next one (2 more to do). Did you mean wash a yellow base with brown, or mix a yellow and brown together for the base colour?
>>47649871
You're seeing one of the weirdest crews there, it's a nightmare daemon who was overpowered through sheer ignorance of the child, whose dreams are created in reality and even spookier than anything the daemon could create. So this ancient evil is at the will of a kid who calls him "Lord Chompy Bits" and is brought out whenever the child goes to sleep.
The gremlins are hillbilly gretchin with pigs instead of squigs, they're a lot of fun to play. There's also cowboys, navvies, vampire zombies, wizards, China and some steampunk stuff mixed into all. It manages to all fit together though.

>>47650386
Seeing as I was doing black on dark gray, I watered it down and slathered it
>>47649586
There's no trick to those lines, right? It's just get good with paint consistency and get good at manual dexterity?
>>47650315
Source light isn't too terrible, the biggest problem is making everything consistent when you're painting what the light is hitting. The biggest part of the process is just a fuckton of drybrushing and washing the source.
>>47650410
Start with a brown as your undercoat and work up in thin layers of yellow. The "base" yellow paint only takes me like 2 maybe 3 layers
