So, you aren't at work.. and aren't posting WIP... so, just wasting your life on the internet in "ded tred" commenting about how they will be dead because people have a job and you don't?
That is some fucked up shit right there.

got me good
I'm trying to spice up my knight's base as flat with stones seem too little for the big guy.
Currently working on an idea with a ruined road out of cork covering roughing one third and a lamp post I have left from an imperial sector, the rest being earth so it isn't too dense.
I want to bulk up the dirt part however and I've been wondering, would simple wood filler be a good way to make iregular earth that might get the knight up by half an inch or less?
On a side note, would Agrellan Earth crackle paint work on anything other then flat pastic?
So, its a correct assumption that Hobby Lobby or an equivalent would have proper sand that I can just glue onto my bases, right? Got some models that I want to bury their feet to add to the desert theme.
>>47786673
I purchased a 15kg for like £4. Once dried out by sitting in my room for a few weeks it was perfect.
Don't be fooled into thinking you need to spend much on sand for bases. I use the sand constantly and give pots of it out to my fellow wargamers and it's not even close to half empty. I feel like a sucker for buying GW sand for so long.

Aww man, you already out of insults this early? How you gonna win your internet arguments later in the thread?!
GW minis are known to be expensive but I got a box of 10 cadian shock troops for something that came out to like 28 dollars? Did I just happen to get a good deal on that one (or misread the qty) because I've been searching the Web for generic future soldier minis and they don't seem to be able to beat 2.80bper figure (minus buying used ones on ebay)

>>47786633
Anyone?
>>47786673
Find a building site near you and ask the bricklayer if you can take a small bucket of their sand.
It's really good for basic ground texture, you can add slightly larger grit to taste.
I do 90% of my stuff with brickies sand as a starting point now.
>>47787115
>And now you are a hypocrite, good work.
And you reply withouth a wip comment. Ironic that you cant see your own fallacy.
>>47787044
Depends what your currency is but there are plenty of places that come close to $1 per man.
Usually fantasy has better ranges for cheap models but if you just want random sci-fi there's plenty out there.

The client is paying for the sand so ultimate he wont care if you only want a bucket.
If you have too much spagetti to spill just go grab a ziplock bag at night if it's near your house.
Failing that hardware stores should have bricklayers sand for shit all dollarydoos.

>Can you get these in other colours too?
Yes.
can anyone tell me how to strip plastic? without melting them?
>>47787426
>>47787492
I assume google is trying to tech an algorithm to regognise them. Same as the streetsigns.
If you mean how to make the line look like it's continuous on folded cloth. What I do is rule a line on some paper then fold it into roughly the shape of the robe etc. to see how it flows. Then replicate that line.
Otherwise if it's just a how do I paint straight question. You can use a fine greylead pencil to lightly mark points (with calipers if you're super anal) then join those points with a line. After that trace the line with your paint.
>>47787492
Are these actually safe to draw with, on paint? they don't dissolve the paint already there or anything?
can anyone tell me how to strip plastic? without making plague marines?
>>47787552
>>47787492
>What's with all the "store fronts" lately, CAPTCHA?
Yes, I refresh the store fronts one every time. That one just seems too sketchy to me. Especially since it's so persistent.
(lol just had to refresh twice to get something other than store front)
>>47787539
Dettol if you are in Aus, UK and possibly canada. Safe for almost everything for over a week of soaking. Wrecks green stuff though.
Simple green for most everywhere. Still wrecks green stuff I believe.
or acetone free nailpolish remover, that can melt though. You just add a bit to a brush and scrub.
>>47787539
>can anyone tell me how to strip plastic? without melting them?
I used Equate-brand (Walmart) non-acetone nail polish remover. It's cheap and effective. Use an old toothbrush to scrub it on and get the paint off. You shouldn't need to let it soak... and Emperor protect you if you accidentally buy the acetone stuff instead; it *will* melt your plastic.
If yer in da UK, I hear Dettol works well, too.
Damn, CAPTCHA... again with the store fronts?
>>47787562
No, but they don't absorb immediately like paper either so be careful, practice first, and be aware that it will have to dry for some time before you won't risk EASILY smudging it.

Well, I *was* thinking of naming this guy after the new Captain Centos model, since I figure I can use da special roolz for him, but now you got me going in a different direction...
to the guy who asked in the other thread: the pants are beige but I did heavy weathering with thinned skrag brown
Some anon said that these bases look wrong because they are too rocky, what do you think? Should I change something?
>>47788014
add somre more moss on the rocks, and some more grass between the rocks
>>47788014
They look fine to me, not every battlefield needs to be a lawn or large uniform patch of gravel. Lovely painting by the way, I always like to see Biel-tan done really well. Are you going to be going with the classic Aspect Warrior colour schemes or something more tied into the Craftworld colours?
Also, mild progress on these guys, skin done, work on non-metallic areas progressing.
Hey /wip/, finally got some colours on this big guy. Just basecoats and washes done, going to go back and touch up some of the metallics, then it'll be time to layer up the skin and highlight everything. Comments appreciated as always.
>>47788159
He's big.
>>47788159
Beautiful work.
>>47788014
>Some anon said that these bases look wrong because they are too rocky, what do you think?
I think that anon was jealous of your stellar work, the same way people nitpick beautiful costumes in /cgl/ because their own work looks like garbage... but we gotta remember where we are, even if /WIP/ seems like a safehaven sometimes.
They look great to me!

I love the default color schemes for aspects, so I'll go with that.
>>47788107
>>47788471
I see, I think I'm going to try something. I'll post later.
I have a SGT with PF and bolter. The bolter casing will be red, and the 'body' silver. To tie the two weapons together, do I make the fingers of the PF silver or red? I chose a bronze casing for the Fist, but I could always strip it and make the case red I guess, and the fingers silver.
>>47788850
>case red I guess, and the fingers silver.
This is my favorite, but honestly I don't think you need to worry too much about making sure the weapons match. Do you have a picture of your scheme?
>>47788924
Sadly not a good one. I'll try to get a solid one in a bit, but here's the scheme I'm working off of.
It is Age of Roundtree.
>>47789107
>Age of Roundtree.
Perhaps I could ask you to elaborate?
Iv yet to even start glueing them but I have some ork boyz im gonna start on. for the bases i was thinking of just doing sand but im not sure...whats a cool base texture that isnt that hard to do?
>>47788014
As that anon I don't particularly like them. If you like them fine. If you're having enough doubts to ask this question thought perhaps the one you should ask is yourself.
Against the problem is their too rocky. Your tank base was the right level. I think rule one when it comes to basing is don't over do it.
And as I said yesterday, the models look great otherwise.
>>47789256
New CEO for GW. Latest cool thing he's doing is bringing back proper monthly white dwarf magazines.
>>47789371

He has been on charge since 2014. He's probably the culprit for the death of fantasy.
>>47788014
they look great man. you're just fixating on 1/7.5 billion people's opinion.
>>47789431
I don't see how the date is relevant. He is still new relative to the old. Pretty nit picky.
>>47789431
He only became CEO at the tail end of 2014, there's no way he put in action killing fantasy and creating AoS within his first six months.
>>47789431
no, things in business take a lot more time to do than a few months.
>>47789328
Step one, paint the base earthy (leave the black rim). Step two, glue sand/dirt. step three, glue grass/moss. Matte varnish, done. The paint covers any missed spots, the grass breaks the monotony and ties the bases together to the Orks.

I went to buy some citadel paint pots and found some of them were labeled as "base" paint. Is there an actual difference in formulation between base and non-base paint or is it just saying the colors are suitable to use as a base coat?

>t. armchair buisnessman
why have the past few WIP threads been mostly full of shitposting
>>47787539
Get a jug from wal mart. Wash out an old milk gallon to keep the used stuff in so you can re-use it.
Pick up a cheep set of plastic food containers with lids and an old tooth brush while you are at wal mart.
I have left minis sitting in this stuff so long it all evoprated and it did not harm the minis at all.
If up put the lid on the containers after you cover the minis with this stuff it will last a long time.
>>47787346
You can also buy a 50lbs of the stuff from your local hardware store for $5 and have enough for like 4 tables, 5 armies, and all the terrain you could want, and still have 25lbs of it left over.
Or, you could beg construction workers for a bit of outdoor cat piss laced sand lol.
>>47789665
I think base paints are a little heavier in pigment. Layer paints are a little thinner, and meant to show some of the base's color through.
>>47787586
I lost a paint test mini to that shit... never again will i use any form of nail polish remover for any sort of plastic or resin.
Metal is fine though.

A bottle of this shit is like $10 to $15 and out of ONE bottle you have enough to base like 5 large armies.
>>47789754
and then he replies like so.
>What? You think I am a piece of shit because I am a piece of shit? How annoying.
>>47789665
>I went to buy some citadel paint pots and found some of them were labeled as "base" paint. Is there an actual difference in formulation between base and non-base paint or is it just saying the colors are suitable to use as a base coat?
The difference can range from "minimal" to "zoggin' ooge!"
Base paints have a specific ratio of medium to pigments to work well as the first layer you put on on a model; see >>47789107 - the Base paints are in the middle.
Layer paints are meant to go on top of base paints, although in practice, I've found that the Layer paints I've purchased can be used much like Base paints if you apply the right undercoat. If you notice a difference at all between Base and Layer paints, it will usually be pretty minimal.
The other paints differ greatly. You'll find Dry, Texture, Shade, Glaze, Gloss, and Technical bottles that are all pretty far removed from what Bases do. They each have their own specific uses, and, as the chart in >>47789107 shows, are often made specifically to compliment one or more other colours in the Citadel range.
>>47789703
How would I go about making a base coat with generic acryllic? Just add a few more layers than normal?

Being smart with money isn't being cheap.

They troll because they are trolls. They are shit heads that like to get a rise from people. Don't blame others for your shitty actions.

>>47789808
>How would I go about making a base coat with generic acryllic? Just add a few more layers than normal?
This question makes me suspicious, anon.
If yer askin' "how can I mix the paints on the right to get an effect similar to the paints on the left so I can slap them on a tiny metal lad like the one in the middle", the answer is, you can't and you shouldn't. Every once in a while I have a use for cheap-ass craft store paint, but it's almost exclusively for putting on terrain pieces and stuff like that - *not* expensive Citadel miniatures. Even the pricier stuff that comes in tubes (cadmium is an expensive pigment, innit?) is meant for artwork on board, paper, or canvas, and is ill-suited to finely-detailed models.
If that *isn't* your question, could you elaborate?
>>47787706
dont do it man. you will upset any whiners you play against. your FLGS may ban you.

>>47788014

I think you should also make some rocky terrain for your tabletop.
then they'll fit in perfectly.

I could use some help painting these fag lords. I am missing the thing coming together. I still need to add some free hand heraldry and symbols but that's about all I can think of.
Also these are old as fuck terminators and the pose is a bit boring. Weapons and shield are from maxmini
Started my work on this

>>47791080
I'd do the chest aquilas and crus terminatuses in gold myself. Could give it a bit more contrast and pop.
>>47790998
I found a neat youtube video that reviews a bunch of miniature paints which is nice. Is it better to buy a starter set or just buy the a set of colors for whatever I'm painting? How many different colors are usually needed for one figure?
>>47791080
add some red details around, like lenses, the skull's eyes, maybe even the whole eagle if you'd like. make the white grey and highlight it (or is that just primer?). What did you use to paint that green?
>>47791080
Use some light grey to add some shading to the internal details of the aquila and the ct.
>>47790335
It's true... people do look for ways to get offended these days. "Me too" syndrome.

>>47791181
Not sure how to do that. You have a link?
>>47786296
You think this is massive enough to be considered a Massive Weapon?
>>47791255
what both of us meant with gray is that you should avoid basecoating white and leaving it like a shiny slab because it will look bad, try starting from grey and highlight into white or do white and shade grey. To do the latter just dilute the colour and apply it very thinly (do not load the brush) and make a few coats until you are satisfied. http://www.mainlymedieval.com/ozpainters/viewtopic.php?t=49&start=0
(also i wanted to make it clear that i suggested red because it is complementary to green and should give a nice effect to the mini)
>>47791255
>Not sure how to do that. You have a link?
Just do some 'blacklining' with a light grey on the white parts and it'll give it the feeling of coming together.
Right now these parts are just plain white, which kinda make them feel unfinished. Adding some shading to the recesses is gonna soften the look of the mini and give it more depth in general.
Finished the first three of my Woodland Indian warparty.
/wip/, howdo people get such bright colour? Is there anything you can suggest me? I am guessing the key is in using brighter colours, but i already use the brightest i can find.

Nice, I dig the warpaint.
Are the perry ones? They seem familiar.
>>47791379
>/wip/, howdo people get such bright colour? Is there anything you can suggest me?
I use a white undercoat to paint my Blood Angels. This results in a much brighter red (I also start with Evil Sunz Scarlet instead of Mephiston Red) that is more along the lines of how they looked in the days of Second Edition than the Grim Darkness of Third Edition and later.
>>47791408
Nah, they're gonna be magnetised for an upcoming Van Saar gang, so I don't really expect to use them much.
But I do have a history of making huge weapons, I suppose. This one is for summer ersatz Orlocks.
>>47788123
Would love to know the skin recipe.
>>47791413
Thanks, yeah they are Perry indeed.
>>47791468
Thank you, i do too and i too strive for a more old days look,but it's not enough for some brighter colours i have been seeing on cmon.(maybe vallejo fluo or oil paints?)
Anybody has experience with vallejo fluo colours?
>>47789682
This stuff is legit as fuck, can confirm. If the paint is weak it'll strip in as short as a couple hours. Only thing mine couldn't work with was army painter spray.
Also, yay transfers. Time to base.

I guess I must be too old. This was da furst lad I thought of!
Current progress.
Please note that the horns, teeth, and claws are by no means finished. I realized after putting a basecoat down that I was way too tired and was getting paint everywhere and should stop painting, so I did. I will obviously hit them with another several basecoats and give them the same love and attention the rest of the model has received so far.

Is a basic, cheepo 50$ aircompressor and airbrush combo decent for doing yellows? Also, Would said aircompressor be OK to use if I upgraded later down the line?
how do you guys do bases? i am thinking of texturing them first with sand then gluing my dudes on that after i paint them. what are some other ways to do it?
>>47794184
I put pva glue dip it in sand and sprinkle rocks and paint it grey
>>47794184
>>47794220
I use a small droppper bottle with 75% pva, 25% water and then sprinkle basing material of my choice on it. If you have a craft store, their % off coupons and diarama kits have great parts to use.
>>47791166
Minimum around 7.
Black, white and 3 core colours, base and a metalic. You'll need to mix your own highlight colours.
If you want to paint using just pot colours though you'll want 12-20.
Starter sets can be good if you want everything in them as they can be a little cheaper but if you don't just get individuals as you need them.

>tfw trying to clean the moldlines off of a beakie pauldron from rogue trader
This is a fucking nightmare. I have no idea how the guy who did pic related did it.On a related note, I never noticed how small Johnny is; he's a head shorter than a Space Marine Scout and a little thinner than 'em too.
His left eye actually has a pupil too, which makes him even more awesome.
>>47794220
>>47794248
hmm ok. yeah i was probably gonna go with something kinda simple like sand or rock or a mix for orks. I need to go look in michaels though..or joanns.

Joanns doesn't have any of the diorama stuff AFAIK.

>>47794391
Try out acrylic gesso from a craft store as well, if you're trialling brush-on options.
>>47794170
It's fine for learning. But that depends. You need to be more specific on what you're getting.
>>47794170
>$50 for both compressor and airbrush
Haha, just save your $50. This is why you poorfags are so poor, just wasting your money on stupid shit in an attempt to save. Buy a yellow spraypaint can from Army Painter if you have to.
>>47794471
Was thinking about this, but I'm not 100% sure. Do air compressors matter?

>>47794520
>are dirt cheap Chinese shit that will fall apart in your hands worth buying
It's a really stupid question, considering that the bare minimum for a good airbrush or compressor is far higher than $50. For each one.
>>47794520
You guys wonder why WIP is shit? It's because of morons like these. If you don't like good advice just because it doesn't spoonfeed and handhold and is sugarcoated for you, get the fuck out. A sub-$50 compressor is fucking garbage.
>>47794509
The airbrush is better then the compressor. That compressor will give you lots of problems the longer you use it. It's got no holding tank so the air pressure will be sporadic and spit a little and no water trap so it's likely only good for a few minutes a day if you want even coats. If your just doing yellow base coats it should do fine for a few models a day. The airbrush is got most of what you want starting.

>>47794550
I think Johnny fits the whole classic 40k theme more.
He may not be too creative of a model by himself, but the way the community created this meme around him makes him feel like a communal "your dude". He's not anything special gear-wise whatsoever, but now he's gonna be one of the coolest guys in you whole army.
>>47794614
>>47794596
You guys are actually half right. He's gonna get a shit setup but he's probably gonna ruin it somehow so wasting $50 is better then $400 when starting.
>>47794550
Because the people who post Johnny actually create threads, is the answer to basically any
>why Johnny?
Question / complaint.
Guys, weird question. I work mostly with Reaper paints- which of their shades do you think looks closest to that weird sandy buff color the RAF used on the lower surfaces of their aircraft during the war?
>>47794509
Good lord this looks awful.
If you've spending less than $300 don't bother
>>47794670
I bet if some anti-Johnny made a thread to prevent it some faggot would just say "what're you doing the other thread's still on page 9" or whatever.
General culture is cancer.
>>47794509
disregarding price, the fact it comes in designer colours should tip you off it's not a good choice
>>47794628
Did you just answer "because it's a meme"? Or did i misunderstand your answer?
>>47794670
Well i guess that's right, but i wish the thread posters made a more fun model into a meme.
>>47794714
Johnny is a meme,deal with it, group culture is cancer when it impedes actual conversation, people spamming a model does in no way ruin the thread. (Are you that guy who made the scout marines thread?)
>>47794614
>i can insult you but you can't insult back or defend yourself
>>47794647
Since we are on topic, i can get a very bad airbrush for free from a friend. Will a cheap airbrush only brak easily or is its effect be that much worse?(say i just want to basecoat with it, no fancy stuff)
>>47794862
You're just shitposting. At least when others are insulting they're not shitposting. Learn the difference, shitposter.
>>47794862
>HUR WHY IS EVERYONE INSULTING ME
>I'LL JUST INSULT THEM BACK IT'S ONLY FAIR
>BY THE WAY HERE'S ANOTHER FUCKING STUPID QUESTION
Why the fuck do you think expensive airbrushes cost more you retard.
>>47794810
>"group culture"
>"cancer"
what do you think the word "culture" means shitnuts? sorry you're too concrete of a thinker to understand why some ideas spread and others don't
>>47788123
Out of curiosity anon, would you be able to do a pic of the Silver Tower Pink Horror next to a regular Pink Horror? I'm wondering if the model is bigger than the standard horror model, I want to be able to run him as a Herald in regular games.
>>47794862
The shit airbrush will be much worse and break easier.
>>47794810
I guess you could say that was my answer.
It's the fact he's a communal in-joke and an embodiment of culture which I guess would make him the definition of a meme, at least in the classic sense of the word. That fact doesn't make him bad however.
There are reasons memes are created and popularized; I doubt most people would share and repost what they find to be completely annoying.
>>47794685
Can you provide pics? I amnot sure what you are talking about
>>47794895
I am not sure you got my point, i was defending group culture, also people have been using culture to mean "common ideas and behaviours" since forever, the guy i responded too used it that way too.
people with orks how do you do scars? I have a pretty sharp swiss army knife and was thinking of using that.
>>47794279
>tfw trying to clean the moldlines off of a beakie pauldron from rogue trader
>This is a fucking nightmare. I have no idea how the guy who did pic related did it.
Very carefully, anon. I think I actually folded a sheet of sandpaper and dragged the folded edge between the molecular bonding studs on his shoulder pauldron. Also, >>47794381's advice about the thin files (I didn't have any back then, though) is spot on.
Y'know, there was also some variation in the casts back then due to things like mold slippage, where the halves are apart by just the tiniest fraction of an inch. Da QC trolls didn't always catch it before packaging, either. I've seen some metal beekees that look like they'd been split in half and soldered back together rather haphazardly. Sometimes you got one with bad mold lines, sometimes you didn't.
>On a related note, I never noticed how small Johnny is; he's a head shorter than a Space Marine Scout and a little thinner than 'em too.
>His left eye actually has a pupil too, which makes him even more awesome.
All the old metal beekees are small, and Johnny's bent-over posture doesn't help matters any. The plastic RTB-01's were the same way (pic related).
>>47794670
>Because the people who post Johnny actually create threads
I only do when I'm paying attention, anon. That sometimes other people use a Johnny picture for the OP warms my heart, because I feel it gives us a sense of identity. Now, how Johnny *also* ended up in the OP picture for the WH40K general thread... *that's* a deeper mystery. I tend to stay out of there, and had nothing to do with that.
>>47794714
>I bet if some anti-Johnny made a thread to prevent it some faggot would just say "what're you doing the other thread's still on page 9" or whatever.
You're probably right, but it wouldn't be me. As long as we have a thread - with or without Johnny - all I want to do is read, save a picture or two for inspiration, and contribute.
>>47794550
HERESY!!!!!
>>47794965
I am ok with him being a meme, the problem is that my qiestion was why is he a meme and you answered because he is a meme.(also some of your wording made me wonder, was johnny relevant in its time? Did people gove it any particular importance or was he just one of the space marines which people deemed more representative in these threads?)
>>47795031
The section labeled just 'sky' here (as opposed to 'sky grey')
>>47795086
>the problem is that my question was why is he a meme and you answered because he is a meme.
The other part of his answer, as to why Johnny and not the Forest Goblin spider-rider, is that he fits the 40K theme so well, and 40K is a lot of what goes on here in WIP... for better or for worse.
>also some of your wording made me wonder, was johnny relevant in its time?
Not really any more than any other Beekee, although it's always been a wonder to me why he isn't in the blue 1990 catalogue like everybody else. It's not like he was some kind of unreleased secret like the Space Marine Standard Bearer (pic related) or something.
>Did people give it any particular importance or was he just one of the space marines which people deemed more representative in these threads?
It originated solely in the WIP threads. If you've never seen the model up close, it looks like he's talking into a communicator. If you take a close look (and notice that his bolt gun has no magazine), you'll see that he is, in fact, reloading, and the fresh rounds are visible in the top of his magazine.
>>47795041
>I actually folded a sheet of sandpaper and dragged the folded edge between the molecular bonding studs on his shoulder pauldron.
That's fucking genius.
I've actually got him looking relatively nice with just an old pocketknife andmy fingernailsso far but I'll make sure to use that to buff out some of the kinks.
I'm having a little trouble figuring out what is mold line and what's actual detail on the model however since this is the first metal model I've ever worked on.
C'est la vie though, only one way to learn I guess.I'm having so much fun.
>>47795086
I think Johnny is definitely more popular now than he was in the past, but that's just a guess. I think it's because he's so much in conflict with the current state of the game that he resonates so much with the people on /wip/.
>>47795172
Ok, if you want green washes i only found green tone ink from army painter and vallejo's green, but this link might help .
https://www.google.it/search?q=twenty+good+men&prmd=ivn&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjgvbfPh6vNAhWDuBQKHVsVAKgQ_AUIBygB&biw=320&bih=399
If you want that colour, best bets would be swamp green from reaper,gw's murgling flesh, vallejo's pastel green(just look into them don't buy blindly, it's just hypothesis, but i think the closest is vallejo. The problem with that colour is that slight blue tone to it, you might have to mix it, either by adding a touch of cyan, or since thecolour looks very pastel, i think mixing a similarly blue green colour with white would do, problem is obviously which colour and i can't help you on that.
so I thinned my paints sufficiently, but I can still see my brush strokes. what am I doing wrong?
>>47795243
Damn, i missed the 40k part, since i usually call it just warhammer with my friends i just registered it as warhammer. Sorry
>>47795559
>so I thinned my paints sufficiently, but I can still see my brush strokes. what am I doing wrong?
Right off the top of my head, I would guess that you're trying to come in and apply a second (or subsequent) coat while the previous coat is still drying.
>>47795559
Put another coat i think
>>47795559
Wipe excess paint off your brush onto the palette before painting. The brush should look like it has color on it, but you should not be able to see visible globs or thick runs of paint on the tip.
>>47791094
hah, I'm trying to do mine right now, but since I'm pretty new to painting I'm having difficulties (please ignore massive mold line)
>>47795589
>>47795596
>>47795602
sounds good, thanks, I'll keep working
how do you guys do scars? do you just cut with a good knife or what?
>>47795679
If you are working with plastic using plastic cement, waiting a second until it's gotten soft and then using a needle to prod it a little is a nice way to get raised scars or burns.
It's best if you apply the glue with a needle as well, you don't want thick lines.
>>47795652
Were you the anon that said he didn't have any heavy weapons so his Wraithlord was just going to have to run around slapping things? Your model has a flamer built in to each arm. Also, you have that coveted double-mount shoulder joint. I swear I have one somewhere, and I need to cast up a bunch to rehabilitate my old and broken-down Panzee mob.
>>47796469
Yep that's me. And yeah I saw those things when I was painting it and was wondering what they were. Make sure to keep us updated with your progress, assuming that's your wraithlord.
building an ork flyer. Having trouble with the flight stand.
1-The clear platic fitting into the jet seem tight. Should I just sand the opening a little?
2-Should I glue the stand to the base AND the flyer? How often do they fall over if not glued?
3-How do I attach the stand to the base? Will plastic glue hold it or do I need to pin it?
Thanks guys.
Ork Warboss wielding Waaaghbreaker
So, Guard player here. Pic related is my paint scheme.
With the new scion Start Collecting formation, a taurox full of scions is going to start showing up a lot more in my lists; what should I paint it? I want something suitably 'elite' but also distinguished from my standard paint scheme.
>>47796794
Maybe try painting the Scions with the same camouflage as Kasrkin?
The color scheme would fit with the rest of the army and there'd still be some small differences to signify their elite status.
![gallery_45765_5904_98461[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/hiN6RMr.jpg "gallery_45765_5904_98461[1].jpg")

Pic and link related for what I mean.
>http://indexastartes.blogspot.com/2014/05/recent-commission-work-scions-and.html
>>47796908
Kasrkin scions. I like it. Looks like standard Cadian fare, with a bit of dark red and...hm. What color for the interline...off-white?
And what color for the filigree? Leave it green, polished silver, hmm. Still thinking. Taking suggestions.
>>47796981
On another note, like many guard players I fucking hate the Taurox model. I have one, a secondhand piece that's butt-ugly (I don't even want to paint it). Wondering if it's worth it to buy a new kit and then convert it with proper weapon placement and some actual wheels instead of the retarded sno-cat pods.
![Taurox+k[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/L4CdJQV.jpg "Taurox+k[1].jpg")
>>47796981
I couldn't really say what paints would work best for the color scheme (I'm far from the best painter).
I'd try asking on the /wip/ thread as they'll give you a whole ton of great advice.
>>47797013
Tuarox's look a whole lot better when you replace their tracks with plain ol' wheels. Gives 'em a kinda MRAP look which is kinda neat.
Other than that I heard some 3rd party half track models look alright.
>>47797013
I never understood why people dislike it so much
>>47797113
>>47797113
I don't like them since I don't really think they fit with 40k's aesthetic. They look a little too boxy and modern to me.
The tracks are also retarded and for as armored as they appear to be, they're 11/10/10 3HP(iirc)? They're fucking paper with armor drawn on them
>>47797113
what's the dune coon language on the back?
>>47797187
personally I would have made the Taurox have slightly better armor, cost the same points as a Chimera, but make all Tauroxes fast and not just the primes
Chimeras would be slow but safe
Tauroxes would be fast but less safe
Right now Tauroxes are supposed to be the IG equivalent of the Rhino, but misses the point about why Chimeras and Rhinos are useful
>>47786296
i suppose saving money for my first figures is WIP in a different way
I think I'm going to go with nids
>>47797287
>Tauroxes are supposed to be the IG equivalent of the Rhino, but misses the point about why Chimeras and Rhinos are useful
Exactly, they wouldn't even be half bad if they weren't so obscenely overcosted. 80 fucking points for a prime is crazy.
>>47786673
personally i try to only use whats available
I like to travel to the near by national park to steal small lake rocks as they are the best
>>47797330
the taurox prime is just confused
it is fast and has better firepower, but still paper thin
if it was just fast and paper thin, like if the gun was an optional upgrade, but a few points cheaper, it'd be an easier sell
>>47797320
if you're short on money, just buy second-hand. I can't understand why anyone would ever buy retail other than to "support gw". If you try hard enough you can get a lot of nice things for cheap.
>>47797476
I have $20 to my name as of this moment
>>47797556
still though, you can get a lot more with that money on ebay or another mini trading site. nids might be harder to find though since they're not nearly as popular as things like guard or marines
>>47797556
no offense but there might be better things to spend your money on than tyranids then

- Don't want recast FW stuff and there aren't any legit auctions on eBay
- Live in some third world shithole where it's cheaper to pay 100% MSRP than ship online discounted items to their country
- Want to support local FLGS
Those are about the only three reasons I can think of that are any good. I don't even consider "supporting GW" a good reason.
>>47797832
>Want to support local FLGS
Spot on right there. That's about the only reason I don't buy all my 40k shit online.
They've not even been around a year but it's become one of my favorite shops 'round town already. Real friendly staff and decent deals too. Kinda small selection of GW products but it's still enough to get what you want.

Thanks bro's will give that a go! Will try to finish the 2 terminators after work today. You recon the helmets looks ok? After that I will paint some assault infantry and then a landraider. I might beg around for some bits for my assault guys because they are a bit posable (2001 kit?).

Don't worry, I know the rules.
Attached a head and did some more GS cleanup for my converted inquisitor psyker.
GS is much cleaner than my previous attempts, but still a mess. Need to find out a good way to fill the seams on the side of the robe.
I am undecided on whether to GS her hair or not. In my original concept she had more hair and not the a fade haircut on one side, but so far I couldn't even get GS to stick to her head.
The base that came with the original model combined with the more upright pose makes her look like some kind of massive amazon woman, but she is overall a similar height to everyone else.
>>47799069
Inquisitor Casca looks fine. I don't really dig her giant belt-buckle though. I'd try putting something in the center of it.
Other than that, the guy on the right looks like he's got a questionable character; I think the marine on the left has the right idea.
>>47799069

>>47799268
thanks. It is still very much a work in progress, but it is nice to make progress. It was intended for regular 40k, provided nobody spergs out about the spear instead of a sword.
The grey knight swords were really crazy big. Even on the terminators they are huge. Who designed those things? The old metal grey knights weren't like that.
