Working on some extremely-low budget terrain
May the best thread win
Finished some more infantry
>>47690182
And the bottom half of the Dunecrawler
>>47690162
Looking good. What materials? Anything you'd recommend?
>>47690182
you going to get a 50mm for your resin techpriest? The mechandrites would probably look better if they weren't hanging off the edges of the 25mm.
>>47690133
i see no tattoos
>>47690234
I'd like to, but I'm not paying a bunch for a blister pack and I don't want to wait a week for just a base. I wish I could just buy a 50mm at the shop.
Did we really need two? >>47687795
First miniature Ive painted in a long time, for my Slaaneshi warband.
This is literally the first unit I ever painted.
Things i know:
>missed some mold lines
>I suck at edge highlighting and other precision stuff (like the eyes). Friends say it's only matter of practice
Things I don't know
>Grass seems very fragile. I used diluted vinavil, and finish spraying the matt varnish too, but it still doesn't fell good.
Suggestions?
>>47690669
those look amazing for a first go
>>47690669
put something before grass, maybe sand or mud effect
Building a renegade knight currently, almost done but the gun barrel is pissing me off big time.
Anyone got a good guide or idea for making soot covered muzzles or dirty guns? The whole knight is weathered so I'd like the gun to look somewhat the par.
>>47690803
Drybrush a light brown towards the end of the gun until the tip is mostly brown, do a darker brown with a lighter drybrush, then a black one.
painted a loremaster for warhammer quest
1.what do you guys us to drill barrels?
2.also does anyone have the table from when the names of citidal paints changed? i need to find what regal blue is now called.
3.what's the difference between the paint types?
>>47690885
1. I use a 0.9mm drillbit and a hand drill. Usually make a little hole with a knife first to get it central, then drill into the hole.
2. Search "dakkadakka Paint Range Compatibility Chart". It's my go-to for old/new paint names.
3. By paint types, do you mean brands like Citadel and Vallejo, or like bases, layers, washes, glazes etc.?
>tfw exams soon
>tfw feel guilty as shit whenever I start painting
NEETs will never know how good the life they live really is.

>>47691011
I'm in the middle of my exams, and I'm just wasting time on 4chan and watching cricket
hey gaiz!
what if GW let you rent prepainted mini's to play at the table top?
you could just leave a deposit or have your credit card on file.
>>47691060
Confrontation and at-43 tried prepainted minis.
Both games died.
I don't think that is really something that would work for GW.
They try to push The Hobby too hard as a way of life.
Finished up the main colors. Got green to go on blades and nose, then to permanently mount the sails.
>>47691085
And the venoms
>>47691085
>then to permanently mount the sails.
I don't have any DE models, but if you plan on transporting them I suppose putting a magnet under the mast instead of glueing it might be a good idea.
Like the woodgrain, looks funky.
>>47691085
I love it, great inspiration
>>47691082
No, I don't mean pre-painted out of the box, i mean assembled and painted by store reps
>>47690803
Have a smiliar request.
Painting a squad of Basilisks currently and I'm not stoked about painting the guns just boltgun metal.
>>47691100
Yeah, I've got the sockets for the side mounted lances to magnitze too.
Thinking about the mast, sails and splinter rack 1 piece then Make those magnetic
>>47691137
Since you already assembled and painted the models and you probably can't go back in to make the necessary undercostruction I recommend you pin the masts.
Magnets are fine and all, but it can be annoying to have your sails wobble about.
>>47691109
Isn't that basically what a demo game in store is?
I am just starting a Dark Eldar army, any recommendations for conversion bits etc?
I want as many female deldar heads as possible, am i i doomed to bits sites or is there good modelling conversions?
>>47691206
WHFB witches or what they are called.
If you are cool with 3rd party stuff Raging Heroes has several lines of cheesecake armies. Vestals would be what you are look for iirc.
And Avatars of War has something too I think.
>>47691186
The masts are remove able with exception of a eBay job (they even installed the swing arms backwards too) so if I'm going to pin it should be okay on everything here
>>47691224
Oooo, thanks.
Some cool full minis, but also after conversions to add onto existing models and such
>>47690696
Thank you ^^
>>47690703
It's strange, because i had some commission painting, and their grass is totally fine, but i don't see any trace of sand or other stuff.
Weird.
I need some ideas/inspiration in what colour I want to my paint the lasguns that my renegades use. Any good suggestions?
>>47691321
Pink
>>47690669
>Grass seems very fragile. I used diluted vinavil, and finish spraying the matt varnish too, but it still doesn't fell good.
No idea what vinavil is. I use wood glue to glue sand down. Then when that has dried for 24h I mix wood glue 1:2 with water and add a second coat.
After that nothing should come off anymore. Especially once it's primed, painted and varnished.
For stuff like snow I just put some white paint into my wood glue and for static grass or flock I just use regular wood glue.
Never had a problem with stuff coming off my bases.
Only backdraw is that it takes a while to dry.
>>47691321
more context would be helpful.
>>47691339
>more context would be helpful.
My renegade army is a rebel/revolutionary army from a temperate agri world. They mostly consits of farmers and regular citizens that have taken up arms against the Govenor and the Imperium due to a rise in the Imperial tithe. So they lack uniform since they do not wear matching outfits. But they all got lasguns that I say are from stolen pdf/guard surplus.
>>47691373
Oh, and they follow Nurgle
>>47691196
yeah, but say you don't want to spend 40 hours painting and 500 bucks to get your army ready. Wouldn't it be worth 10-20 bucks just to be able to play now instead of later?
>>47691387
In that case: standard issue but rusty and badly maintained.
>>47691395
>40 hours
In 40 hours you wouldn't have finished properly assembling a $500 army.
>>47691387
yeah, cause you know, anybody who has a problem with imperial rule automatically worships chaos...
>>47691419
You can thank the unsactioned psykers that joined the army for that
>>47691417
its just a random number autismo
>>47691031
Bases are your average paints, layers are a bit more transparent and not designed for base coats (they require a correct layer underneath to make sure you get the right colour if you want to base coat one with) and technical is a catch all for paints like medium and gloss.
>>47691428
cheers m8
Got a bunch of hirsts moulds, been trying out casting; I think I'm getting the hang of it. Gonna use them to spruce up and make my Mordheim terrain have the little bit more sophistication to them.
>>47691425
Not if you were trying to make a case for it taking too much effort and money to get an army. But goes to show what you know about painting miniatures.
Also, not /wip/.
>autismo
Ok, kid.
>>47691522
seriously?
how does the amount of time i listed have ANYTHING to do with the point I was trying to make?
My point was that it takes a lot of time. I could have said 40 or 400, it would have meant the exact same thing.
Only a complete autist would latch onto that and try to correct somebody like some socially deranged faggot who thinks that number was in any way fucking relevant to the conversation at hand.
I mean, seriously, wtf? Are you just trying to score asshole points and win over the crowd by tearing somebody down for no good reason, or are you that much of fucking obsessive compulsive nitpicker that just seriously bothered you for some reason?

It's hard to tell from that image alone, but they look a bit, I don't know, monotone. I mean look at these crazy fuckers here.
>>47691672
loremaster of hoeth (plastic)
>>47691640
No highlights, looks like blob of browns, silver and green slaped with wash.
>>47692111
The pictures are not very good, mate. And while the paintjob looks perfectly fine for tabletop standard, it could be neater. Like the pink on the bolter magazine.
If you want to take better images without much effort, just fold a sheet of white paper in half, open it and prop it against something. Then shine a light straight at it and bam. Decent pictures.
>>47692173
They're highlighted, it's the distance imo
>>47692250
Dunno m8, in my opinion there's so much more you can pull form simple boy model.
All those straps, clothing, skin, weathering etc.
>>47691471
>>47691963
Got pics of your scenery yet?
I've been sitting on a bunch of building materials without motivation to do anything for a while now. I should do something.
>>47691963
Are you using plaster or resin?
>>47692329
I can't get a good pic as if I put light on it it's too bright and ugly to see the details and without the light it's too dark, how'd you take a picture like that?
I only don't highlight belts and wristbands as I have a problem with my hands
Does anyone have a tutorial for this style of black armour edged in blue? Not fussed over new or old paint range, I'm prepared to eyeball it comfortably but I'm just curious if a tutorial is actually floating around.
What's the most common method to paint dark eldar skin? I've had trouble using palid wych flesh as I'm new to painting and I'm struggling to get it to cover well. Is there any other colour schemes people use?
>>47692747
> I'm struggling to get it to cover well
If your problem is that the basecoat is showing, you can either work up from a grey basecoat and/or use multiple thin layers.
>>47692776
How much do I need to thin my layer paints? I'm finding that some of them are too watery and they end up leaking into the recesses that I'm trying to avoid and if I don't use enough the paint looks crumbly and blocks out detail. Palid wych flesh in particular is the paint I struggle to get right with this.
>>47692747
I basecoat with rakarth flesh, then wash with reikland flesh shade and finally highlight with palid wych flesh.
>>47692747
Does this help at all?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XkMZKzfBWL4
>>47692822
Same poster as >>47692865
I find palid wych flesh to be very chalky so I use lahmain medium to thin it, I find water thins it too much as you say it just leaks into the recesses.
>>47692822
Layer paints generally don't need to be thineed down too much. A very small drop of water in a good dollop of paint on your palette usually suffices. Either that or use a medium.
And it's of course possible that you got a bad pot. It happens.
>>47692876
That looks really good so I might do a test model using that scheme and see how it compares. I'm surprised he didn't use palid wych flesh as I figured that was the main paint to use when painting dark eldar flesh.
>>47692881
>>47692899
I may pick some of that up then. I hope it's not a case of a bad pot, this stuff is damned expensive.
>>47692491
I kinda followed OP guide to making photos (it's still not lightbox with 2 light sources but hey), i put my camera on desk so it wasn't shaking while taking photo, and slightly edited lighting/shades in program.
>>47692565
I'll see if can find the WD paint splatter for Cassius from Overkill, it's pretty close.
>>47692565
It looks like it's just a very dark blue edge highlighted with a lighter blue, then possibly a blue glaze to tie it all together. Not particularly difficult, just use a standard 'how to paint black' tutorial and switch out the grey for blue.
>tfw I can see actual progress in my painting skills
I'm still garbage but I'm seeing a lot less brush strokes and the paint isn't thick everywhere (now just in areas that I've over-painted like an idiot)
How is your day of painting going?
Sup gents. I thought I'd make a Pre-Heresy Death Guard dread from the Calth box one.
>>47693335
Nice! How'd you round out the shoulders, just creative sanding? And where are those kneepads from?
>>47693335
Detail shot. I'm not sure about the knee pads. They're from deffinately-not-Mortarion I got from a bitz swap I did some years ago. First I thought I'd put them on a champion model but they look a bit too flashy for the legion.
>>47693365
Cheers! They're just rounded up first with a hobby knife and then sanded for a smooth finish. Both arms are also magnetised.
>>47693335
>>47693377
>>47693399
Great work. Be sure to drill out those exhaust pipes and barrels, and gap-fill the power fist. Model looks really solid.
>>47693444
Thanks. Will comply, there's still some sculpting to do and bits to add before basecoating. Really happy with how the respitaror grill thingie came out, never done hard surface stuff that extensively before.

I need to get tid of my paranoia someday. On the plus side, I have one dope box now, really looking forward to paint all that, what a bargain.
>>47694021
I carried mine with nerd pride in a clear plastic bag all the way home. It's a great kit really.
>>47694021
>buys shit at a (presumably GW) store
>what a bargain
Are you literally retarded? You could have saved at least 20 bucks (and embarrassment) by ordering it online.
>>47694092
I have sinned. I haven't lived up to my tshirt.
>>47694021
What are you, some kind of faggot? I got that bag in December when I went to my local GW during lunch break at work.
>>47694118
Store's nice, personnel is cool, they deserve my money.
Plus I won't get over my embarassment by hiding in my house.
Should I base like this? I tried with a brown rim and it looked weird.
>>47694182
To be fair, this one's pretty cool.
>>47694170
>>47694268
If you are going for green flock, you better paint it goblin green first.
>>47694281
It's also gigantic and I must have looked like a goddamn lunatic with my suit-and-tie and that thing full of little plastic army men over my shoulder.
The paint keeps flaking off of some my metal models. Not really sure what causes it, some are fine but some are bad enough that I have had to strip and re-paint.
Is there some way to prep a metal model so that the primer sticks better? Perhaps use different primer? I'm using citadel primer (which is overpriced and I intend to switch brands anyway).
>>47694358
White primer? Because that has happened to me with the GW white but never the GW black.
What do you guys recommend for super fine detail work on small models? I want to add some really fine lines to the carapace of my tyranids but none of my brushes are really small enough/accurate enough for me. I was planning on using a needle to do it but if the xs artificer brush from GW is worth purchasing i might still get that.
Anyone have a side by side comparison of the beginner brush (comes with the build and paint kit) and the xs artificer?
Continuing on with my trench network. Applied the granny grating drainage system (aka modernized duckboard).
Next up is to apply the inner wall detailing. Corrugated board, card stock, piping, and other terrain bitz.
>>47694375
Black primer, actually. And it's fine on some models but not others. I primed a ratling gun and doom flayer in one batch. Finished the ratling gun, turned out pretty well, but the doom flayer has been losing so much paint/primer that I've given up.
>>47694449
Huh, maybe wash the model in warm, soapy water first.
Started working on some Dark Souls black phantom techniques, these are my first two attempts, trying to go for an unnatural harsh bottom-lit effect. Both were given a simple undetailed basecoat, left is 100% hand washed and painted, right I used an airbrush to give an all-over tint with a black wash and a Mecharite Red spray from below before applying layers of Evil Sunz. Thoughts?
>>47694297
It's not glued, but how's this?
>>47694445
This is super great, and exactly what I'm hoping to do for a Frostgrave "into the breeding pits" board
>>47694561
90s as fuck
I like it.
How do you remove the shine from decals?
>>47694557
Prepping for the board game? IMO right looks better, although the effect on the left is pretty stylish in its own right.
>>47694680
Paint over it with Lahmian Medium / other matte medium.
>>47694092
>tfw the box is too big to carry in my backpack
I like to go to my store after class and sometimes buy stuff, but I don't want to carry BaC around out in the open on the Boston subway.
>>47694694
Doesn't seem to work. Should I apply multiple layers of varnish until the shine goes completely away?
Painting up a great eagle to look like a golden eagle. Any tips on getting that golden brown colour right?
>>47694513
I guess I'll try that. Come to think of it I stupidly didn't wash any models in my last couple of batches. A few of them had been sitting around a few years. Now I'm paranoid my freshly painted ratling gun will start flaking.
>>47694756
>sitting around a few years
Dude.
Dust, fatty fingers, dust, more dust
No wonder your paint isn't sticking.
>>47694714
Uh, normally it should only take a thin, watered-down coat of medium to cover the decals.
>>47694692
Pretty much, got a year to figure it out so no rush. Thinking of next one being like right, but going for less of an overall tint, just a high-angle one with normal washing after. Also holy crap, gotta seal the mini after the tint/wash because fixing mistakes with the red is a bitch.
>>47694802
They look fine from the right angle, but I want them to not shine under any angle.
>>47694756
And speaking of cleaning.
This is the shit. Compressed air is nice and everything, but this cleans minis like a motherfucker.
>>47694828
Sounds good. Post progress, I'm trying to come up with techniques as well.
>>47694844
>Compressed air
>cleans minis
I have not heard of this, please do elaborate.
>>47694844
>>47694869
Oh fuck, you mean knocking off dust during prep, thought you meant stripping minis. Disregard, I suck dicks.
>>47694889
Yeah kinda. During prep you can just wash them.
I meant if you had them standing out in the open for a while/ dusting them off when they are already painted. It was kinda unrelated but I just remembered.
>>47694783
Not as bad as it sounds, they were in a closed box and partially assembled, never played. I'll strip and re-prime the metal ones, the plastic ones seem fine though.
>>47694726
use golden brown paint
>>47694561
is that weed?
>>47695270
Army paint grass green
>>47694726
It's really just brown with a lot of yellow in it, followed by some white highlights on the extreme ends of the yellow
So say I like the way my base color looks after being shaded and don't want to put any layer paints over it. Should I make extra use of highlighting?
>>47695270
It doesn't look anything like weed, anon.
>>47694445
I really want to see how this turns out.
Please keep updating.
>>47695766
pics
You will want to add shadow and do some highlights, or it will look flat as anything.
>>47695934
Oh no, not taking a picture, I'm a very bad painter and was just asking if that would be the way to go since my group is just me and two guys I grew up with playing in a garage with no painting standards.
>>47693010
you could try Vallejo Medium, it's cheaper. I use that stuff and I am happy, but I haven't used the gw-stuff yet, so I cannot compare them.
D you have a hoarding problem anon?
I have a hoarding problem. I've got almost 5200 points of Eldar and barely 1800 of it painted
>>47696275
of course
>>47696275
Or course anon, we all do.
I already had like dozens of untouched models yet stil went and bought pic related. Don't regret it though, I feel like a child on Christmas.
I know that some anon can all give us a run for our money, like Pete/Jonny oldfag and his drawers full of stuff that has been sitting there since RT.
this going to take me forever /tg but i like the results thus far. i also smoothed out the green some anon pointed out a few threads ago

Use the checkers already included in the box if you want that kind of stuff.
>>47696807

>>47696859
Use very thin sharpie to draw the lines or even colour the black, that might be easier.
>>47692330
Pic related is some of the older stuff I started building; very basic. Just sit down and start building anon, you'll get into the swing of things.
>>47692362
Just some cheap Plaster of Paris, is about $4.50kg and this is my first time doing moulds. So far, works a treat!
>>47694561
Mix pva with sand. Base it, then brown and highlight it with a lighter brown/bone color. Now add grass or whatever you want, this just looks like he mowed the grass and is standing in the middle of the cut grass
>>47692329
Honestly even kittle touches help with boyz mobs, especially if you're painting style is more subdued.
What you think of me nob? How's the fur?
>>47696676
I have peripheral neuropathy from the elbow and knee down and I can manage, though I can't do proper highlights. Brace your elbows on the table, press your palms together and get your smallest bush and try. If I can, you can too. Sharpie pens a good idea too.
>>47696391
I'm gonna preface this by saying that it looks really good. Nothing wrong with it at all, and certainly better than I could do.
However, it doesn't look like an actual effect. It looks like decoration.
So /tg/ I'm super behind on my painting and I don't really have the time to learn how to get better, whats your opinion on people who field armies that are just all basecoated?
>>47698312
Also got my hand on a box of fantasy orcs, it's suffice to say they look great with sluggas
Someone mentioned it before, but I was confused.
Whats the best way to get dust off half painted minis? Using my airbrush to blow air?

>>47696275
Yes.
I buy shit I will never use in my Army just to have them.
I'm not a good painter, but I'm slowly improving (I've been horrible to my brushes and I need to learn to take better care of them) with all these pointless models.
Do i just give up on removing the rest of the primer at this point? Hit it again, paint it, assure myself its only 2.50 lost?
>>47690885
For my barrels I just use a jewlers drill from Michaels. For bigger things such as a melta gun I start with the jewlers drill and then use a bigger drill bit and hand turn it in the hole I just made

Is it metal? If yes, carefully use acetone (gloves and mask, then dispose of it safely, in your town's designated space), it'll be good as new.
Finally started painting this girls.
Fucking white primer. It's true what they say, once you go black you can never go back.

I painted an old state trooper that I put together 12 years ago as a kid. I'm going to have to practice painting yellow. I might stop using GW paints and brushes due to how many problems I've had with them. They dry up on my brush while Vallejo lasts forever.

So, crisis suits come with plastic tubes to make them "flying", but the bases don't have a hole for them, so what am I meant to do here?
The instructions don't shed any light.
Do I just suck at applying Valejo red? Or is it super runny and impossible to apply delicately?
Hey guys, thought my question would be best in a painting thread but sorry if it's a bit off topic.
I'm moving country in a month or so and I don't know how I'm supposed to take all my 40k. I have 2 imperial knights and a plague hulk as my latest models, and a tonne of blight drones and zombies etc. Would the wings on the Blight drones most likely snap? How do I transport the large models? Any help would be much appreciated. Ty (pic is recently finished minotaurs chapter master)

Drill a hole in the base u dingus
Mini 3, first mini after doubling my paint collection. Hows the commander look?
>>47701211
And back side.
Paint got blobby, tried to make a wet pallette, too wet
>>47701211
It's looking better for sure. Do some highlights on the armour and the green clothing.
>>47701391
I uh, tried to highlight the armor and forgot to highlight the pants.
I already slapped a wash on, does it look bad to highlight and rewash the highlight?

coming in very late but please don't by GW medium, you can get the exact stuff in any art shop for a fraction of the price. Just look for generic acryllic medium.
>>47701020
>I'm moving country in a month or so and I don't know how I'm supposed to take all my 40k.
Are you moving for good?
Or is this just temporary. Cause if it's not something long term I wouldn't bother.
If it is you could pack your stuff up and have somebody send it after you or put it in the mail the day before travel to wherever you are going.
>>47702051
The thing is if you're using GW's paints you should use their medium. When a company has a line of paints their medium is going to be the one that works best with their paints.
For most people the differences won't matter, but if you're trying to squeeze out the best results with the least amount of headache it's better to just brand match.
What 30K legion uses cataphractii terminators? I got a Calth box and want to paint them, but I have no use for them in my Alpha Legion.
>want to paint minis
>have zero interest in the table top game
Seems like kind of a waste desu, considering how much GW fucks you in the ass for minis.
>>47702872
consider dioramas?
>>47702872
Actually, that's not a bad situation. If you have no interest in the tabletop, and only want minis to paint, then just go on eBay where you can easily get shit for up to half off. After that, if you're into it, just sell them back for a profit as painted and use that money to fuel the hobby. It's a genuinely fun hobby and you shouldn't let one aspect of tabletop ruin another.
And as that anon said, dioramas are a good way to go about when you get better at it.
>>47702595
This is only true if the company has really weird shit in their paints or doesn't use acrylic, such as Tamiya. You NEED to buy Tamiya thinner to thin their paints.
For brands like Citadel, Vallejo, Reaper, and P3, I've found you can use anything to thin, from water, to any kind of medium or thinner product.
I use Vallejo thinner with Citadel without issue. I don't use Lahmian Medium simply because of the pot design. I can put up with GW pots for things like paint and even prefer it for things like washes, but I'm not going to use anything but droppers for things like thinners.
>>47694182
Cool bag, anon.
>>47702976
well that's because tamiya is alcohol based, their thinner is basically rubbing alcohol
>>47703021
>tfw you will never have a johnny of your own
Hard as hell to find on ebay and even if I find one in a lot they go for $50 bucks or more.
Only time I found one at a good price it was a UK only auction.
>>47703105
HOLY FUCK!
I just search up "brother craig warhammer" on ebay out of desperation and got a single fucking result (pic related).
$17 bucks with a fucking Buy It Now!
Snatched it in a second.
He'll go perfectly in my near-half beakie Flesh Tearer army.
>>47702976
You can use them without obvious issue. But their formulae are different. Lamian Medium is literally the medium they use in their pots of paint minus the pigment, same for any other brand. They're close enough that you can mix and match without obvious issues, but for the absolute best interactions you should use the mediums that match the paints you're using.
>>47702836
But anon, every legion uses Cataphractii?
I guess Deathguard, then, if you want to be extra fluffy, I suppose.
>>47703522
WHITE SCARS CATAPHRACTII, ROLL OUT!
>>47703522
Well, most of what I see are the legion specific termies used in armies, and actually very little of the vanilla. Maybe do them as Red Butchers since those are basically the same if equipped with lightning claws?
>>47701063
Some how anon got butt hurt about a black joke.
My guess? It trigger anon.
>>47695831
Yes it does. If you don't think it looks ANYTHING like weed you are faggot.
Behold, the site of my first attempt.
Soon as I get some brush on primer, I'll be ready to make these guys look dreadful
>>47703889
that anon was making a black joke as well
If a man was inclined to make death korps of krieg, what would be a good starter? I think i could kitbash some steel legion/tempestus together, has anyone tried this and got good results?
>>47704751
Steel legion are solid metal dudes. Kit bashing them with anything would be difficult.
I'd be more inclined to extend their coats and helmets with putty if you are truly desperate.
Otherwise just get the proper death corp models, they're so nice.
Or if you truly can't afford it track down a recaster email.
>>47704933
I've never had any luck with that.
>>47704751
The irony is that making an entire army of Steel Legion is now probably more expensive than buying one of DKoK, since they're pewter and (I believe) OOP for years now.
>>47705009
HECK.
Looks like ill just have to bite that 300 euro bullet from forgeworld
>>47705009
I saw them listed on the UK gw site when I was checking to see if they were still around.
I'm so glad I already own about 300 of them from about 8 years ago when they were reasonably priced. I still snap them up when I see them cheap.
>>47703416
This is full of shit.
I've mixed paints from brands like P3 and Vallejo with no problem and thinned them with Liquitex medium.
Not an issue.
Whatever "absolute best interaction" you cite is so infinitesimally impossible to detect that it doesn't even matter.

>>47694268
>>47694561
i almost don't want to break this to you now, but the bulbous things you've painted red aren't their eyes, those are their lower eyelids. If you look real close, you'll notice that they are squinting, and their real eyes are between what you've painted and their brows
this makes painted ork/orc eyes difficult to notice, but everytime i see somebody make this mistake i ree internally
it's also not helped by the fact that many later orcs/orks/goblins/gretchin actually do have bulbous eyes, but these brian nelson-based ones are still squinty

You're the kind of person to gulp down a handful of oregano and then proclaim to everyone that you're 'so high'.
Test model I did for some basing. Quite pleased with the result considering how cheap the card was.
>>47706669
Thats really good, what kind of card did you use? I made a mordhiem gang years ago and make uneven cobblestone basing using a layer of greenstuff. This seems far more cost effective.
>>47699776
Again, I wonder how much of Statuesque's business is selling those heads.

This verdigris effect on the gold, is it nihilak oxide?
>>47707406
no idea what that picture is from, but mixing a bit of white into your green (and if necessary a tiny dab of blue) until it looks minty fresh and diluting with water is enough to get this result. Just apply that wash carefully to the recesses on your model and you are done.
>>47707406
Assuming that's a model painted by the GW studio, yeah, looks like it.
>>47707406
Nihilakh is meant for that, but thin it with medium because it's too thick right out of the pot.
Hi /wip/, I bought a Slaughterpriest on a whim and I'm kit bashing it into a World Eaters legion champion. Just tacked together at this stage, would really appreciate feedback.
Thanks!
>>47707444
>>47707479
>>47707486
It is a GW (or actually FW) model, which is why I was thinking of nihilak.
And thanks for the thinning tip, I'd probably have used it straight off the pot.
>>47707510
awful
>>47707510
Scale is substantially different, but if it's for the glory of Chaos that shouldn't be a problem. Does the left arm need work, or is it just going to be a stub with a chain whip attached?
>>47707551
What a shame that you think so. Care to explain your opinion? Would prefer constructive criticism but it's 4chan :^)
>>47707565
He is a big guy. I'm guessing it's later on in the Heresy and he's been blessed by the Blood God.
>>47707510
I quite like that. The Mk IV helmet fits surprisingly well.
muh smurf
>>47707733
Very nice. Clean and well-painted. Nothing really eye-catching, but a very good paintjob. I'd be very impressed if you manage to maintain that level of quality for your whole force.
>>47707733
Pure in the eyes of the Emperor.
>>47707510
That scale boyo, that's a rough sale. The armor is too different.
Unless you match terrain and absolutely wreck it with a paint job it's gonna look like Richard Pryor in a sea of white guys wearing helmets.
>>47707572
>He is a big guy
For you.
>>47698966
Well, the chances are excellent that we are schizophrenic or clones. I'm hoping for clones.
>>47707224
The other sci fi models could work for Inquisition, but yah those female heads are their best product.
Side note, why not make the clothing red instead of pink? Use some bullshit Adeptus mechanicus alliance to justify the bulky armour.
>>47707510
How did you do that one on the right? I'm interested in starting a world eaters army but I've heard white is a real pain to do.
>>47707833
That or some sort of supply deficiency (logistical or political) that results in them being given clunky and not-so-good quality power armour instead of whatever miracle science goes into the usual suits.
>>47707900
How would you model the political dickery or supply failure?
My line of thinking if using third party models would be the Sisters using experimental tech.
>>47707733
Very good. The gold is so smooth, and your highlights rather neat. Any tips?
>>47707510
Study those who came before:

>>47707510
I was just about to say he's Angron's height and you could do something like that >>47708020
>>47707948
Political dickery would be "we are bound by ancient compact to supply you with power armour, and we're going to do the absolute bare minimum to comply." So relatively plain armour with more individualistic customisation added by the owner.
Straight up supply failure, whether due to lacking the right materials or accidentally losing the manufacturing patterns, would probably mean that the ostentatious designs would be more uniform as the Mechanicus tries to make good on the compact.

>>47701020
Army carrier has bags, feldherr has boxes if you're near Germany, KR multicases if you're in/near the UK.
Just google warhammer 40k army carrier and you're good. I moved some 10k euro worth of stuff with mostly Feldherr and some custom foams and I haven't seen anything damaged yet. You'll have to make custom foams for the oddest shapes though.
>>47701020
I forgot to add, if it's just for moving: Cotton balls and large boxes. Thousands and thousands of cotton balls. They don't cost much, have pretty much just one use and they are light.
Downside, you'll be finding cotton fuzz for months.
