I'm the guy new to painting who was asking about airbrush the other day.
Looks like the mail man came early
I want a new librarian with a force sword and inferno pistol. Turmiel just got volunteered!
>>47950001
I was watching a video on how to make bismuth crystals, then i got the idea to make a xeno terrain with bismuth. Or really, just add bismuth to my game in some way in general
Ideas /tg/?
next up: cleaning up sloppy transitions and overbrushing, ombre effect on sail (god help me), and finally painting the gunner and pilot
anyone have pictures of modified Knight heads?
Final model for a Kill Team. Thinking about another shade of red at the top. Good idea or bad idea?
>>47950244
Daemons of Tzeentch or chaos-themed terrain/ovjectives might be neat.
Made a scenic board for my buddies Jakob Lynch crew for Malifaux, It gave me an excuse to play around with glowing effects with my airbrush. He wanted it darker than what I would have normally done in the end but I still think it looks good. What do you guys think?
>>47950383
>>47950596
Looks breddy good, although maybe one more highlight of the green on the lower part of the glow projecting onto the objects submerged in goo.
>>47950504
That would be pretty cool. What would a Tzeenth/chaos themed terrain look like. I'm not entirely sure it would fit a tyranid army, but, its an idea.at least i think i'll stick to nids. i'm still at a point where i could switch main armies without loosing much
>>47951131
>What would a Tzeenth/chaos themed terrain look like
Skyrim's Apocrypha realm is pretty good. It's creepy structures made out of scrolls and books with black water and tentacles everywhere. But it's green and black instead of blue and purple.
>>47950949
If I hadn't specifically been told to make it a little darker than Moot green I would definitely do another pass on it. Glad others like it though. Gonna do something similar for my Nurgle stuff soon.
On another note I'm rebasing my slaanesh stuff, I'm gonna make it look like they are walking across a treasure horde with several miniatures chopped up to look like statues among the coins and plunder. Can anyone think of some good weapons, cups, chests, crowns ect that I should get to throw on these piles?
>>47951252
assuming i could get the bismuth at the right temperature to get it to turn a proper dark blue and purple, that could be pretty easily achieved. In fact with some buildings added in I might be able to make a Tzeenth corrupted town
>>47951280
Bump for suggestions.
>>47950024
Nice bro. I got the same one at hobby lobby with a 40% off coupon.
>>47951280
>>47951646
If 40k, make up some servitor looking corpses because anyone wealthy enough for a treasure room should have some
nothing special, just working on a magnetized Russ
>>47952084
Lovely shade of green. Are you going to add highlights? I kind of like it like this too
What's the best GW paint to use for dirty bone?
Used to justr have bleached bone buy now there's a fair bit more, spread in layers, bases ect.
>>47952297
why thanks... its just castellan green airbrushed
there is a light dry brush of loren forest, but i suppose its hard to see on camera
>>47952354
Yeah, the lights in your surrounding area are not very bright so it's not easy to see. If you have any light to aim at the surrounding area it should be easier to capture more detail. Don't point any directly at the model though. Keep us updated!
>>47950024
Please understand
>>47952043
nice, I snagged mine on ebay for right about 100 after shipping

>>47950458
what effect are you trying to achieve here?
Hey all, got some warzone stuff to share with you today. I'm gearing up to run a demo table at a local convention so I'm(finally) getting some paint on my Dark Legion and finishing off my Imperials. I'm about 5 hours in on the Dark Legion forces thus far, numbering 20 undead legionnaires, 10 necromutants, 4 necromutant squad commanders, 2 razides, and a nepharite commanding the lot of them. Probably going to add more as time permits me, probably more support choices(more razides and preatorians) for people to jump in and take control of if there's enough interested who want to play.
I've also got some piccies of my Bauhaus Blitzers HMG, so you'll see a couple angles of him too, might post Imperials tomorrow, though it's just highlights and definition to their trench cloaks, nothing fancy.
>>47953301
Feeling pretty chuffed, this will be my first convention event all on my own, I'm normally assisting one of the other demo guys.
>>47953315
This'll be doubly good since there'll be two of the biggest vendors in the country at the show both of which stocking warzone, so maybe finally some more people here will get into the game. Though that'll hinge on me not being a massive fucking sperg.
Hobby talk, I'm feeling like I'm stalled on what to do to define the armour plates on my necromutants, I got a solid idea on how to do their flesh and cloth, but that armour is a tricky one, I want it to look worn and cobbled together like out of old armour panneling roughly beaten into shape and strapped to mutants before they're thrown into the field. I was thinking rust, but maybe going an extra mile on the effect. Thoughts anyone?
>>47953315
>>47953301
>>47953342
Aiii you really should've filled the gaps, especially the ones where the arms connect
>>47953342
Finally here's the Nepharite, the big bad commander of the assaulting force of the Dark Legion, same trouble with his armour as with the necromutants, was also considering giving him glowing eyes. I was considering a sickly yellow for that but want to know what else would look good against his red skin.
>>47953354
Yeah, I'll have to go back and do that, no mistake, it needs to be done.
>>47950095
Fellow BA player here, I really like this conversion.
Did you shave off the pauldron on his sword arm or did you replace the arm entirely, I cant tell from the picture? If it was the former, was it hard?
Other than that he's looking pretty great, there's only a few bits of Dark Angels iconography left on him that irk me but that's easy to fix.
>>47953357
These all look pretty nice so far, I like their skin. As a fan of Mutant Chronicles though, I find the over-the-top designs look strange with modern/competent sculpting
>>47953510
Do you mean "strange-bad" or "strange-but-I-could-get-used-to-this"?
If anything I think the necromuntants aren't over the top enough, I'd like to see some strange mutant appendages(tentacles, spines, claws, etc) spread around the unit members, but not too much, they're only 5 models to the box after all.
>>47950320
Oh that's very nice
>>47950024
First spray down using airbrush.
I noticed that depending how far away I am and how much I pull back on the trigger I either end up painting in a way where the paint is instantly dried, or I can leave a wet coat.
Is one preferred over the other?
assembling a Ghost Ark... Ive never seen so many pieces in a plastic kit before.
It's going to take hours and hours to clip all this shit, clean and file all this down. it'll probably take all day... fuck
>>47953843
A wet coat means you layed down a thicker coat that needs more time to dry. It also depends on the paint consistency, additives used, room temperature and more. As long as the paint doesn't pool, it doesn't matter much. There is a trick you can do to make the coat dry faster, use the airbrush to blow air like a blowdryer.
I also recomend you to watch some videos about airbrush control and practice a bit with exercises like these ones:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YrP6o3QmJ30
>>47953357
For the eyes you could go yellow and you would have a pretty balanced scheme, otherwise green for contrast on red. For the armours you could just make them more worn by adding some decolored lines and parts,like if paint was scratched away Also maybe colour some parts with different colours to make those parts not belong to the armour, as if they were different pieces just strapped there
>>47953999
That wave serpent looks tight. Is that preshading (painting green over a varied base coat) or are you highlighting with a lighter green?
>>47953843
For blends, add a little retarder to the mix so you can spray more colors and let them wetblend
This isn't really a /wip/ as I just finished it but I thought I'd share these photos I took of my Space Marine Scouts from the Lost Patrol game.
>>47954090
moar because moar
>>47954090
Heavy Bolter guy
>>47954090
I bet there's a genestealer or something lurking in this fucked up jungle....
>>47954090
One more for cutting through the jungle...
>>47950095
The big ass purity zeal on his chest looks wonky, otherwise nice.
>>47954090
Very shallow depth of focus. Now to remember how the fuck you fixed that. Move away a bit and then crop the image IIRC. And you have a lot of noise and general fuzziness, so resize things down a bit too while you're at it. (For both problems, the ideal solution is probably to use an actual camera to take the photograph, but...) I rather like the general setup though, so making the photography match up should be well worth it.
>>47954147
I was going for max bokeh because I was trolling /p/ and they've infected my mind. I wanted it to be blurry to add to the feeling of them being lost in the jungle.
>>47954084
Tried preshading, looked like shit. Then repainted it using a "dark" green and highlighted it using lighter coats of green. I don't really like the final result, it needs far more contrast. The darkest green should be darker. The crevices should be full black. The extreme highlights should be brigther and more visible.
I don't usually paint big models like this one, much less using an airbrush, I need to learn the trick to make them pop.
>>47954193
That looks fucking amazing bro. Great work. You should be proud of that!
Never stop being critical of your own work though, that's how you GIT GUD.
>>47954193
I feel you, it could have been better, but stop whining, either do it again or accept how it came out
>>47954147
If you want a shallower depth of field, you set for a lower f stop. And you can decrease noise by setting the iso for the lighting, but you'd want a luxometer to determine that.
>>47954231
Yeah dw bro I know. I appreciate the tips. I wanted it to look spooky jungle like. I probably should have taken a few clear ones for /tg/ to judge the actual painting.
I used to love the photos like these you'd see in white dwarf. They got me into the hobby...I love the idea of these miniature worlds...I wish I had some dry ice or something to make it extra spoopy.
Also if you don't have Lost Patrol you guys should get it, it's pretty fun.
One last close encounter of the blurred kind for the road.
>>47952719
very clean, good job
>>47954249
They're just regular genestealers and scouts though. I'd rather download the rules and make some excessive terrain myself.
Your blood angels came out real nice, love the terrain too! You only get to bring one squad? I play black templars so I have like 80 neophytes.
>>47954346
>Your blood angels came out real nice, love the terrain too!
Thanks bro.
>You only get to bring one squad? I play black templars so I have like 80 neophytes.
It's not really traditional 40k. You lose a LOT playing as the scout team. You've basically got to make it through a randomly generated jungle to find a drop pod, all the while harrased by genestealers. Shit gets rough reallllll fast. Very fun though!
>>47954359
Can you choose your weapons?
>5 man flamer squad huehuehue
>>47954395
lol nah it doesn't really matter. Only the heavy and sergeant get you any bonuses.
So basically you can have up to 3 genestealers to a tile. Each one gets you 2 points. Scout player rolls a dice and needs to beat that number of points. Scout player gets +1 for sergeant, +1 for heavy one tile across, and -1 for lone scout, etc, in close combat.
Scouts get 2 AP per scout per turn to either move or shoot. If you shoot you need a 6 to kill a genestealer.
Genestealers get 3 AP total per turn to either move, spawn genestealer or infest. Then they get an assault phase with the rules listed above.
If scouts make it to the drop pod they win. Which is harrdddd.
>>47954433
I was kind of hoping for some CLICKETY CLACK COMBAT SHOTGUN IN YO FACE action but it sounds intense
>>47954604
You've got to use your imagination for the shotgun part but yeah it is fucking intense. Last game I played my guys got fucking mazed at the drop zone and there was only one way out, and spent the entire game trapped in tangleweed fighting genestealers until only the heavy remained....he died with honor - on the drop zone!
>>47952055

>Did you shave off the pauldron on his sword arm or did you replace the arm entirely, I cant tell from the picture? If it was the former, was it hard?
The arm is almost entirely replaced. The hand, sword, and the psychic conduit tubes are all that remain of the original.
>>47955841
because GW thought it was a good idea
Anyone ever had issues with superglue going bad?

In that case, try to get some bits from the empire wizards and that giant planetary model chariot thing as well as crystals and gold coins and such.
Magic tomes should be especially valuable I recon.
>>47954969
It's obviously outstanding. Only thing i don't like are the chains, they look a little bit too clean to me. Some brigher highlights could help, or maybe some rust effects.
>>47954969
Needs a bit of church, but great model otherwise
How hard are tyranids to paint?
>>47954047
Some damn good advice, mate, thanks a lot!
>>47956336
Not particularly hard. The sweeping majority of Nids have similar model design (chitin plates, sinewy flailing limbs, snarling maw) so if anything, keeping a consistent look is easy, and becomes habit after painting a couple models. Look up everything you can about painting models to resemble organic material. Nids are kitbasher's heaven too, look up technical materials and guides to make slime and ooze.
>>47956856
that sounds cool i might pick some up after i finish my Blood Angels.
Saw guide to getting better photo of model. Gave it a shot to get feedback. Picked more recent paint work. Any tips on improving?
>>47957113
The pic is great, although some peoplemaybe australiansaren't gonna be ok with the res.
Try focusing on the center of the mini, right now the focus is on Khorne's symbol.
>>47957113
Well, except for the plating everything is really bright. A darker metal would have looked better with the light bone I think.
It just lacks a bit of color and contrast in my opinion. Nothing really stands out except for his pants. For example, his loincloth could be a deep red with dark khorne symbols.
>>47957113
A few washes on the skulls to give some depth.
Some highlighting on his face to make it stand out more, and some rust/oxide on the metals.
And obviously a base.
It's prett good though.
Here's the first model from my new Tzeentch sub-army.
>>47957113
It's good. Smooth even coats, adequately thinned paints, excellent brush control.
What it needs is some highlighting and shading. Pretty much all the colors look flat. It looks like you've done a little, but it's way too subtle. Go bigger and more cartoony with your highlights and shades.
Take a look at >>47957364 (nice work by the way, anon). The difference between the lightest and darkest shades on the skin is extreme, and the feathers are pretty dramatic too. It really makes it pop. OK yes, it's a daemon, and you might want to be a little more subtle on human flesh, but really not too much.
>>47957364
The flames make no sense, their core should be almost white with some colored edges. Fire is brightest at the center at any rate.
>>47955852
Scibor has some marine sized bears
>>47957113
Maybe a slightly darker background, regular brown cardboard works well and doesn't give quite the glare.
>>47957677
chaos fire
>>47957920
Not him, but chaos or not it would look better with a little white line i think.
>>47957364
The tongue could use more contrast with the surrounding colors. A bright blue maybe? The eyes are lost as well.
Hey guys. Ide hate to be a bother, but a couple days ago, I asked what would be the normal craft store version of this shit. Some nice anon said it was some kind of flow or thinner and to buy liquitex. There are a ton of products though and the dude at Michael's had no idea. Would anyone know what exactly the liquitex equivalent of this product is?
>>47958474
http://www.liquitex.com/airbrushmedium/
There is one called airbrush medium, any reason not to go for this one?
>>47958732
Thanks. I really appreciate it. And thanks to the anon from the other day.
Current state of my WIP terrain.
Getting everything to the same state and now time for some weathering washes on the ruins and rust followed by some dry brushing of grey on the ruins.
I just finished all the graphite pencil weathering on all of the rust.

You should probably do it.
Anon with the bloodsecrator above. Couple questions. Pointed out should do highlights. For the bronze how would one give it highlighting. Ditto on the black plates. Used Duncan's tutorial video to help get the model and blood warriors painted. Didn't know if I should do the rune fang on edges of bronze? Haven't did nearly as much skin work as I wanted. Will probably go back and give it another wash of flesh tone then back over with rakarth/wych flesh. Should be good right?
>>47959181
What a dickhead. Tell him to go fuck himself.
Or better yet, tell him to post his stuff on /WIP/ and watch while a few gentle anons grind his hopes and illusions to dust.
This Megaboss is fucking huge
The fucking rocket launcher on my fancy new Chaos Rhino won't fit nicely next to my gunner, there's literally not enough space.
What kind of a shit design is this? Thanks GW.
>>47959181

Just teach him how to strip his minis and make him buy a ton of GW painting guides so he can make his minis look incredibly mediocre
Okay, Im going to have to appease my best friend and paint a mini for his girlfriend.
Problem is shes black and wants a black mini. Ive been painting for all of a month and just recently got a combination I like for white skin.
Can someone help me out and reveal the secret combination to make mullatto skin? Would it look like trash if I just blended a bit of rhinox hide into cadian?
>>47961027
Do you want black or do you want mullatto?
I'm looking for some terrain, any suggestions for:
- 28mm
- Sci Fi
- Walls, wall corners, doors/gates
It's surprisingly difficult to find a complete range of these
>>47961082
Mulatto, shes american not ethiopian

Hi /wip/. Here's an Exorcist Plasma Cannon Devastator and Devastator Sergeant I'm working on. Need to get decal paper to cover up those DV symbols...

nice job on the magnetization, but i've never cared about that shit anyways. as long as someone has the model of what they're using, they can use whatever gun profile they feel like when playing against me.
>but the model doesn't have an actual plasma pistol glued onto it waaaaaaaa
what are you, rich? normal people can't be buying multiples of shit just so they can change the gun.

what's an exorcist devastator?
>>47961334
that's cool as fuck desu

this is sick as fuck
makes me wish I learned 3d sculpting
>>47962585
Shit those are glorious. Can 3D printers actually handle that sort of detail though?
I just recently started painting minis. I've done plenty of model cars in the past, but have always been interested in 40k so I grabbed the Dark Vengeance box and used some $.50 acrylics from Walmart.
Here's how it's coming. I tried the Minwax method on the cultist.
>>47962630
That's pretty good, especially for $0.50 acrylics.
>>47962630
They look good, but that grainy craft paint is holding you back. It's worth springing a bit for something better.
>>47962667
Is The Army Painter stuff any good? I have one of their brushes, and read a lot about their Quickshade when I was researching the Minwax method. Are the War Paints good?
>>47962733
not that guy but,
personally I would go vallejo or GW
>>47962733
I don't know either; use vallejo myself. I don't think I've ever heard anyone bad mouth them.
>>47962733
Army painter stuff is pretty good yeah, just avoid their spray cans as I've heard really varied results with them. Really whatever you can find out of the popular brands such as vallejo, p3, coat d'arms, citadel, rakham, reaper, etc. for cheapest will be fine.
>>47962605
No. his heads will regrettably come out looking like one of those old puzzles where you built a head layer by layer
I know it's his model and i have no word over it, but i am fucking mad /wip/.
120 fucking pounds on a model and he just painted it with washes and drybruh, no layering whatsoever,result is not bad, but it could be so much better with so little effort,it really feels wasted.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0muoD8brBRo
>>47962733
they are damn fine

doesn't buman's glow have kind of a purplish tint to it?
Yo, WIP thread.
im trying to cut my teeth into converting metal minis,can anyone recommend a good saw to buy online?
How's he look? Does he look like he's worth $9?
I dare say I've gotten better in this month.
>>47963350
The relativity of that statement is the key...
>>47950320
Trash.Just kidding it's pretty great.
Crap picture but I'm just so glad to get this guy nearly finished. He deserves it. Standard really, basecoats with simple layering and about half a pint of Agrax.
Originally clipped off his axe and tried to open up the hand, to use him for Blood Bowl, only to receive a much more suitable Warhammer Quest Minotaur, so the axe haft lost a couple of millimetres and went back on.
Then, as my first Reaper Bones model, I foolishly decided to "undercoat" him with neat glossy Abaddon Black, which seemed like it had obscured a lot of the detail, since using watered down paint on bare Bones makes it bead up. After some basecoats of Vallejo the paint seemed kind of tacky too, so he got sat on my paint bench for months.
Just seemed to all click now though, paints went on a dream tonight. One thing I hate about Minos, regardless of manufacturer, is how any body hair kind of just appears out of the smooth skin, makes it hard to border off.
>>47963748
come on man the mould line right in the middle of his face. Also i think face needs more highlighting since it is pretty flat right now
>>47963804
Aye, I generally finish at the wash (I know you're not supposed to) but I'll pick out his brow better I think.
Yeah, the mold line was/is right down the front of his armour too, but the Bones material doesn't like small cuts unless you want to leave a load of tags behind, so I fucked it off. Think this guy was one of the first released, still a stupid place to slice the mold.
>>47962658
>That's pretty good, especially for $0.50 acrylics.
That's exactly what I was thinking. Damn fine results considering your paints suck! Better than my first Space Marines by a long shot!
>>47961334
>Where's a good place to get grass tufts?
Army Painter makes some.
>>47964011
Are those yours? When you first painted them, did you realize there was something wrong with them?
>buy master series paint "sun yellow"
>Paint has the consistency of egg yolk
>it's just fucking goop
what the shit did I spend $3 on
>>47964149
>Are those yours?
Yes.
>When you first painted them, did you realize there was something wrong with them?
No. It was c. 1990, and they had only recently become available for sale in the United States. Back then, "Blood Angels" were just red Space Marines, and I chose them simply because I had several bottles of red Testors flat enamel on hand.
Oriental Order came in and its all rather spanking. HAHAHA TIME FOR MORE SKELETONS
>>47963259
Nope, just brown.
>>47964237
>HAHAHA TIME FOR MORE SKELETONS
Maybe, just maybe, my boys can stop 'em from gettin' the book. Yeah, and maybe I'm a Chinese jet pilot!

There are huge mold lines on the cannon and the decals you used stick out like sore thumbs.

Your recaster recasts the entire sprue? Crazy.
>>47964980
I've seen it happen before. The first recasts of the IK were done that way for speed. Led to my mates knight having only one viable option for the face mask.
How would I pant the kabal of the last hatred?
>>47965083
Capri.
>>47965102
Italy sounds nice but I can't get the time off.
>>47965083
Get a purple that matches that edgy highlight colour then mix it in a ratio you can remember (1part black 2 parts purple, for example) with black until you get the armour colour. That would be the simplest way to do it.
>>47962460
I miss pewter :(

Aaaaand Skellybro back to say vurt tha furk happened. The gold went on so well at first, but then puffed up like marshmellow fluff when it dried. Did a quick Rustoleum 2x flat white (My Citadel Alternative of choice) on a spare model and just look at the fuckery going on here
Holy shit, I never want to go back to non-metal minis.
How's he look boys?
So, I saw the ultramarine pimp mobile and it gave me an idea. Classic cars for a slannesh imperial guard army, acting as the various tanks. Should I put treads onto them, or have anti grav like the pimp mobile? It's for a chaos imperial guard army, slannesh themed. It's also going to have some noise marines, and I plan on installing bluetooth speakers in the dreadnoughts and their rhino(Which would be a '57 chevy, with the speaker in the trunk) to make things loud.
>>47964237
dont breath the fumes
>>47967250
For a second I thought you were talking about real cars.
I should paint my car like as khorne demonkin. Khorne Corvette, a Khornvette if you will.
>>47964358
yea i fucked up on the decals.. dunno why but the varnish got real cloudy and ruined my decal
i dont see any mold
Brushed off the paints after a long break to finish up some mates models and get back to my own collection. This Librarian is the latest and I'm pretty happy with how the blue came out and contrasts with the red of the Tactical Marines. Might try free handing the chapter symbol, we'll how well my skills come back with the next models...
Also,banner poles for the banner gods!
>>47967341
>i dont see any mold

Breath the fumes. The high you get is how you get intune with your models.
>>47961177
Vallejo has some really nice skin colors but I'm guessing the color you're going for is #593001 approximately?
It's called chocolate brown and it's a pretty good brown
>>47968856
Speaking of Vallejo, I just discovered that their Game Color inks dry flat. This changes everything. Why did no one tell me?
>>47964327
Looks awesome man. Great job.
>>47955944
DId this a while back, came out great, one word of warning though. You'll bend the lower part of the mask like mad if you aren't careful.
>>47961177
Yeah, my point in asking is you asked how to paint black and mulatto. Be clear in what you're asking.
>>47961027
You don't have to do anything. In fact doing this to appease someone sounds like a terrible idea. You don't HAVE to do anything.
>>47968931
That's what inks do? They're not washes.
WIP
Still need to finish multiple things, blades, shields, base, etc
I stared on some reaper giants. I may have bitten off more than I can chew - these are big fellas. I've only started and already I'm sick of looking at them. Still undecided about hair color, fur loincloth color, and whether or not to rust up their metal.
>>47969913
>>47969599
My older inks dry with a gloss.
>>47964216
Yeah but 24 years and you still don't thin your paints
how do I paint HH dark angels without them being just a bland black army.
im not a talented painter, but I know most techniques.
so my question is more along, whats the easiest way to make black power armored models look alive.
so far im considering, red bolters, red eyes and possibly edge highlights in a different color than gray? sort of like the Dark Eldar model line by GW.
I want to avoid them looking like this, but also stay true to the legion colors.
>>47964407
>>47964434
How did you paint your black?
>>47966642
He looks like his staff is bent as fuck.
Paintjob is fine though.
>>47970306
Fuck red eyes, glowing blue all the way.
And dark blue edge highlights for the armor if you don't like grey.
>>47970367
Niot sure what to do about that. Bought two copies of this guy and theyre both like that
>>47970548
bend it, before painting
>>47970552
that would break it.
>>47970582
Heat it a bit and then bend it before painting.
>>47970582
Heat up twistet resin and form it to your own liking after that. If that's a bones miniature i wish you the best of luck, it's really hard to get those into shape.
Okay tg, I've asked google and it wasn't all that helpful, so how the fuck do you do layering?
I can get the technique for dry brushing and highlighting, even if I'm not great at it, but layering just eludes me. Either my paint doesn't pick up the layer below, or it slides off and pools in every crevice. What am I doing wrong?
>>47970695
It's not a bones mini, it's this guy https://www.reapermini.com/Miniatures/Pathfinder/latest/60098#detail/60098_g_1. He's made of some cheap metal that I'd really rather just leave it bent than risk fucking with it.
>>47970258
paints look fine to me, sometimes those old ass models come a bit textured, or maybe he is using shitty paints or primed bad, but i don't think it's thick paint there
>>47970380
Red guns and eyes are definitely more Dark Angels. Don't suggest things because you like blue.
>>47965083
black with purple highlights. Just like the model you just posted.
>>47970793
what does that even mean? explain the problem better please(also highlighting is a generic term, maybe yyou mean edge highlighting, which itself can be done in many ways)what do you mean pick up the layer below? Are you trying to glaze the model or normal layering? I don't understand how normal layering could slide off unles you over dilute it and or load the brush too much. If you mean glaze hihglighting , then paint will "try" to slide off and to avoid it you need to wipe the brush so it barely leaves any paint
>>47970306
seriously though why are HH schemes so bad? Did we really need two black legions? Is it only me or are most of the canon schemes boring?
>>47970868
>Why aren't these Legions of fanatical super human warrior monks in multi coloured prismatic FABULOUS armour so I can paint them bright garish colours and make them look... ooooh... I know I used the word already but FAAAABUUULOOOOUS
>>47970306
Take some inspiration from the old drawings mate, stripes, checkers, flames, bright reds and yellows! This ain't no realistic table top simulator, this is bloody Warhammer! And Space Marines were born with gaudiness in mind!
>>47970886
>me i am grim dark, no colours please, i want black legion
(i didn't want them to be too flamboyant, just with some kind of scheme instead of colour slab with black wite grey trim)
What's the final result with milliput standard? is it brittle? should I mix with a little of green stuff? I'm trying to clone eldar corsair backpacks and a couple of arms with guns. Greenstuff proved to be to fucking rubbery and I can barely sand it
>>47970306
>FW actually use this painting standard to sell their expensive miniatures
Embarrassing
>>47970987
on the topic, is it the photo or are thousand sons supposed to be glossy as fuck?
>>47970987
HOLY FUCK POST SOME OF YOUR OWN WIP AND STOP SHIT POSTING
>>47971050
Right. Hating on FW's shitty paintjobs is great and all, but it's just not the same as crushing some naive newbies hopes and dreams.
>>47971029
Yes. It's a metallic base coat with thin coats of red over it.
>tfw you find the perfect half pint glass for your setup
>>47971069
Just stop shit posting you fucking tool. We get it, you are an angry twat that needs to vent by shitting on something you could never do as well. No one gives a fuck other than your posts are shit and you clearly have nothing better to do with your time.
>>47960158He's a big guy
Is that your warboss on the right? He looks fucking rad.
>>47971069
I get the sense of this sometimes.

>>47971099
How mad are you?
>>47971115
Blame angstful fuck heads like the perpetual FW hater above. That's all they know how to do. Shit shit shit on everything.
There isn't much point posting here to begin with.
You either get useless angry shit posts or people parroting random "advice" that they have read, but never actually done themselves.
>>47971141
How mad are YOU that you have to seek out pictures to vent on?
Every weekend some shit lord like you comes in and if left alone will just fill up the entire thread with their shit talking to themselves.
So, I speak up and call you a shit lord. And argument will happen, you will predictably go "why you so mad" after posting a bunch of angry posts yourself.
A little back and forth and then you will eventually go away. Just like always. Because you are pathetically predictable.
>>47971115
There's a lot of people on here that will lash out because they're frustrated that they can't paint well either.
>>47971174
Or they are just shitty people regardless of their skills.
>>47971115
>>47971141
4chan is not a place to hear anons say "good job", instead you're throwing your models to the wolves most of the time.
>>47971161
1 there were two people criticizing forge world there(at least)
2i was joking, it wasn't supposed to be a serious story(obviously enough)
3i was not mad at all and didn't even say anything about fw paintjobs
4 none of my posts were mad, you on the other hand seem to be overreacting and antagonizing randomly
Seriously am i getting trolled?
>>47971210
I seriosuly don't see the point of posting a model if not to get tips on making it better, i like people here.
>>47971243
It's for sure to get tips on how to get better
But usually you get ignored or memed at or just told it's trash
>>47971287
Look at the thread, people just go "it's trash" like once per thread max, probably less. This place is pretty helpful(but yes too many people get ignored, sometimes this board is pretty dump and run and lacls meaningful talk)
>>47967341
He's referring to the join you didn't smooth out.
>>47971210
>>47971243
This.
If you want gentle encouragement and easy praise, there are a hundred different forums you can post your shit to. The beauty of this place is that people will give you their true opinions.
Sup. How do you like my prototype?
>>47971457
Looks nice, but what is it? Orky looted thingy? I am guessing you are adding some orkification then
Anything fancy I can make with an old lightbulb? Desk lamp just burned out.
>>47971817
i like them
>>47971223
your joking is still shit posting, no matter what name you decided to call it.
>>47971873
Wow i didn't know that, thank you
>>47971900
Now all that remains to be seen is if you will continue to shit post or not.
I am betting you will continue because you can't help yourself and you are bored and procrastinating.
>>47971926
>>47971900
>>47971873
shut the fuck up, faggots

>mfw knock over an entire put of black ink whilst painting
>>47971115
>>47971210
Unluck!
Each time I post models I either get one point of constructive criticism that helps me, or people telling me my Grey painted space marine is fine.
If there's no replies, that's fine because it means everything is just okay.
>>47972249
any collateral damage?
Front 5 are all early WIP ( haven't even finished basecoats yet). The 3 on the front right are a Son of Antaeus, Black Dragon, and Crimson Fist.
I still need to go back and cleanup and finish basing the back 10 also. I'm calling it quits at 20 ( I still have the two assault marines, terminator, and 2 black shields to go)
After all this is done, I'm going to make 1 of each 18 legions in the Horus heresy. Shits gonna take ages because I want to use all armour marks from 2 to 6 and convert them all.
>>47968374
>Also, banner poles for the banner gods!
You are on the path to glory, anon.
