Why does the GW painting team paint textured weapon handles in a dark red/purple color?
What material is it supposed to be? Does it have any basis in history?
Plague marine one done. 19 more to go.
>>48164095
I would say it's supposed to be dyed leather wrapping, and the colour choice is probably "It's more exciting than brown"
>>48164095
>Why does the GW painting team paint textured weapon handles in a dark red/purple color?
Works well with the rest of the scheme. Harmonizes with the blue so it's not a color contrast and doesn't throw the scheme off even though it's a different color.
>What material is it supposed to be?
What ever you want it to be. If you paint it metal it's metal if you paint it like leather wrappings it's leather.
>Does it have any basis in history?
Do you mean if there is an official fluff precedent?
Not as far as I know, but even in real life there are dozens of different ways to wrap a weapons handle. I'm sure in a setting as big as 40k, that is essentially a conceptual sandbox, you can take some artistic license with that.
Sharing my Super Dungeon Explore heroes.
I've painted NMM for 1st time (on dwarf's axe) and I'm quite happy with results.
Also, I used Duncan's tutorial for lava bases, to make mage's staff looks like it's cracking and showing fire inside.
WIP orderlies. I need to highlight the leather, paint everything that is metal, and then do the hair and the soles of the shoes. The bases should just be an easy drybrush job.
Been a while since I posted (or painted) anything, but graduation is done now. My local is doing a diorama competition based on a 160mm base so I'm doing a unit of Sternguard and the DW:OK Cassius getting their purge on.

The orderlies and bloodwretches ate sold separately if you prefer. The enforcers and henchmen aren't sadly. I got the whole thing for $47 on Ebay, as I am starting out with this game.

> I'd like to thank the guy who taught me about glazes and soap for improving my models.
Now I'm officially done and satisfied. Thoughts?
Your carapace armor has taken on a more warm red hue and goes much better with the warm blue and green you've used elsewhere on the minis. Good. About the only thing I'd suggest if your satisfied with the improved colors would be just a bit of dry brushing with a slightly lighter shade of gray to give the stones just a bit more illusion of depth. Otherwise - stop when you're happy with the results. Honestly while I'm impressed as hell with the pros / trophy winning painters - I sure as heck wouldn't want to spend 40 to 80 hours (or more) on every miniature I own. That said as you get better at brush control, and using various painting techniques you'll finish painting nicer minis more quickly. There's this crazy good painter from Germany called Agis Neugebauer. This guy is damn skippy fast and amazingly good.

That's some nice work - for a Xenos lovin' Heretic!
(Have some scale posters to go with'em.)
>>48164280
I'm not a fan of the Chibi style minis - but your paint job still makes them look very appealing. Can't see alot of the NMM work in your pic, but it looks good from what I can see.
I kinda suck at these dang armored studs. Any tips for making them look good?
Can someone from WIP please explain this Johnny meme?
He's reloading? Or is he talking on the phone?
>>48166061
He's speaking with his font of endless wisdom.
His bolter magazine which controls him psychically.
I myself wish to see Johnny painted in all 18 Legion's color schemes.
>>48165993
>dang armored studs. Any tips for making them look good?
Well, you can spend a lot of time getting good at brush control with a 00 or 000 brush. Or you can pain the studs black, carefully hit them with your metallic color, and then to get the perfect black rings around them, you could use a technical pen like pick related. I use them to do the fine lines in the armor joints on some of my marines too.
>>48164436
Working more on Cassius.
>>48166115
Aha. Ill try the latter, I've long accepted I've got little natural talent.
Hey guys. So I was wondering if you knew any models that I could use to kitbash a female chaos zealot like in Warhammer Age of Reckoning (pic related). I've been looking a lot, but I haven't quite found anything that would look all too similar. Also I suck with green stuff. Anybody got any ideas for bodys that have at least similar clothing and are more or less easy to modify with other parts without being a sculpting genious?
>>48166092
Umm ok?
So the magazine is speaking to the inner Johnny?
What a time to be alive
How did I go from this...

PLEASE SEND HELP
>>48166665
He look like he's been watching way too much porn on the internet.
>>48166699
He's got that look like he's about to crap his loin cloth. Heh!
>>48166699
What the hell? Troll model, or.. wtf lol.
>>48166757
I got greedy with the eyes... after half a bottle of whiskey I thought I could make them even better...
I was wrong.
>>48165993
Thin your wash to 50/50 before applying it to the studs. Just dab the brush lightly in one spot where the stud meets the legplate - the liquid will naturally flow around the stud. Use less, you can always give it a second application if it isnt dark enough.
Maybe hit those yellow edges with yellow + white mix.
>>48166699
Just don't paint the eyes at all, or wait until the very very end
>>48166846
Well to be fair that is what I've done in the past... but I really want to paint eyes on this model. Pic related
How the fuck do I do it though???
>>48166895
W&N Series 7 000. They're $10, sable, and as resilient as you could ask for.
>>48166895
Very very carefully. What many people recommend is not using a small detail brush, but a larger brush with a good tip so the paint doesn't dry up immediately when you put it on the eyes, so you don't have to force it. You outline the eyes before and afterwords of course. Then you put the black dot on.
Out of curiosity, what model is that?
>>48166846
>>48166895
This is the furthest I've gone painting the eyes up until this point
>>48166942
Yellow dots for monsters is usually enough. I like washing the eyes for more depth, but it is all that you need on most things that aren't human.
>>48166790
you dug too deep
>>48166932
fucking ordered
>>48166934
The model is this guy:
https://www.reapermini.com/Miniatures/legends%20human%20paladin/latest/03427
it comes with several different weapons to choose from. I picked the longsword because that is what the player's D&D character used whom I painted the model for.
I based it roughly off an old heroclix figure he had been using.
>>48164097
Looks great.
>>48164097
Looks good. Put a lighter blue, and then a white in the lenses. There are lens tutorials everywhere, it'll make a huge difference, do it.
Only criticism is the yellow is a bit thick.
Anyone have the roll your space marine chapter image?
>>48167361
I'm too dedicated to the Heresy to even start another army, doing three legions, but I'll roll to see how things would go.
>>48164280
Looking great, the NMM came out very nice. Nice job with the eyes as well. Mage staff doesn't look that special but could look better in person than in a pic.
I'm sculpting ribs on this flayed chest from the BA upgrade sprue for my chaplain. The armor will be black but details will be red and bone like Astorath's. Kinda looks like a daemonette twerking his nips from behind.Also I know my nails are long. It's been three days since I trimmed them but I'm a mutant
>>48164557
why?
>>48167005
Certainly better than the heroclix figure. You may want to go over the freehand more and give the sarong a much higher highlights on the edges. The face could also use some more highlights on the cheeks. After that I would probably recommend using an actual base to make it look nicer.
>>48167005
that is a Mage Knight figure sir, they predate heroclix, honestly just calling it a clix figure would have been accurate
It's not much yet, but I couldn't sleep last night so I thought I'd make a center piece. It's going to be a necron portal of sorts. I sanded a piece of plastic to frost it up a bit and try to diffuse the light a bit but I may just have to dim them.
I've never made a terrain piece yet, and haven't touch electronics in forever. I'm thinking of having stairs leading up to it and maybe some columns holding the platform up to hide behind. Any recommendations/inspirational art?
>about to spend $27 to get an average quality mini of a character I barely play

I mean, the metal minis that Reaper sells can be left overnight in acetone, right?
>>48169296
This may be of interest to you.
>>48169410
Of course. They have held up well for me when I dunk them.
>>48169432
Holy shit yes. This might be perfect. Now I got some real ideas....
>>48169469
I wish I could find another company who's mini's I like. Spent half an hour trying to shave mold lines off a metal mini I bought from Reaper and the wrist (where you join the hand piece) is just FUBAR
Would Vallejo Deep Blackgreen be similar to the Forgeworld Sons of Horus colour scheme? If not, are there any paints that are?
>>48169534
That isn't exactly unique to Reaper. There are figures like Abbadon whose hands are notorious for falling off, and I can't cound the amount of times that fiddly bits on my Infinity figures haven't made the trip to the club in one piece. You might want to try pinning the wrist. You can get a pin vice for less than $5 and I am sure that paperclips can be found for free.
Alright, here's my latest attempt at painting. I tried to make them resemble the ones in the back (that I bought painted), but they're not too similar. I feel my highlights are too big and I should have blended them. I kind of like them though not going to lie. Just need some more inspiration for the bases for the 3.
>>48169626
Also did more work on the crystal bases I was doing. I think they look much better (and brighter), but not quite there yet?

Hey WIP.
I have an Imperial Guard Chimera all cleanly basecoated etc. and ready for highlighting/shading.
My issue is that the colour scheme I'm using is red / white, so most of the hull of the Chimera is pristine white. Understandably it looks very flat... but I can't highlight it because it's already white. Would it be safe for me to just drown the whole fucking thing in good old Agrax Earthshade to give it a dirtier colour and then highlight up from there?
Just starting a Steel Confessors army, fells like the models need a little something. Any ideas how to make them look better?
>>48169768
Oh shit disregard the unpainted purity seal, it's a work in progress.
>>48169768
Washes and clean ups from the look of it. Considering painting your whites in an off white like Pallid Which Flesh.
>>48169768
Shoulder insignias (some great custom transfers online for obscure SM chapters) and a good solid shade wash of some kind might be ideas.
>>48169768
> Just starting a Steel Confessors army, fells like the models need a little something. Any ideas how to make them look better?
Yes. See the meltagun. ther is a part of the sprue left on the barrel. Also paint it black or drill a hole in it.
make the base, it reallly adds to a model.
You might want to try the new gemstone paints for eyes and lenses
>>48169803

I'll be back later to show improvements. Thanks for the advice
>>48166061
>Can someone from WIP please explain this Johnny meme?
Sure. We really should have a page on 1d4chan for this, but I've been too lazy to write it. Maybe I'll get around to it. Emperor knows, we have enough Johnny images.
>He's reloading? Or is he talking on the phone?
He's actually reloading. If you look at the model from above, you can see the unexpended bolts in the magazine.
In an old Citadel Miniatures flier - and later ads in White Dwarf Magazine - the first run of Aly Morrison/Citadel beekees were given names matching the cast of the 1960's Batman TV serial starring Adam West. So there was a Brother (Adam) West, Brother (Burt) Ward, Brother (Burgess) Meredith, etc.; and this lad was Brother (Yvonne) Craig.
Later, when these beekees were reproduced in the blue 1990 catalogue, everyone was assigned generic names ("Bolter #10", "Meltagun", "Plasma Gun #2") and part numbers. Brother Craig was noticeably absent, though. If he has a real part number, I couldn't tell you what it might be. I don't have any of the fliers older than that catalogue.
>>48166495
>So the magazine is speaking to the inner Johnny?
You ever watch Ed, Edd, and Eddy? You know the character Jonny 2x4, who walks around talking to the wooden board, Plank, as if he's having a conversation with it? One clever anon created a meme image after that fashion (pic related is one that actually came later) because it looks like our Johnny is having a conversation with his ammunition in exactly the same way.
>>48163825
Hey wip, thoughts? I don't want to add any gold to this model, but I'm testing out schemes for my beastman-esque legion of everblight army.
Do I need another spot color? or should I try a rust effect? If so, where should I apply it?
Army is on brown and green forest bases with scattered rocks and logs.
>>48169875
aaand the back. Most of the nyss have a green spot, warbeasts have green skin.
>>48169639
>Also did more work on the crystal bases I was doing. I think they look much better (and brighter), but not quite there yet?
Approved!
>>48169768
Also the lenses are very flat. Try this technique.
Here is some of my recent work.
I honestly think I used to be a lot better when I painted in my teenaged years. I'm coming on 25 now and I feel like I just don't have the same patience for detail as I used to be.
Anyways tell me what you think. I picked up these minis hoping to do a warhammer fantasy skirmish/mordheim type deal.
>>48170157
And the dwarfs. I'm trying to keep the different teams contrasted visually on the table.
>>48170189
And now the monsters Ive finished for the game. Im crazy about the reaper bones.
Anyway what do you think? I'm mostly a drybrusher (bad habit but it gets the job done quick). My detail work needs improving but I do believe I have an eye for shading and good color distribution.
>>48170264
I like the scheme, the thing might look better with a galze and then explicit highlights on top however, as the drybrushing looks a little jarring. All in all those would make a solid set for playing Frostgrave or Mordheim.
>>48170264
It's odd that I'm posting these detail shots because it's up close that my work looks amateur. From further away they look more striking. I can't paint with dark colors.
>>48170345
Try making a lightbox to do the figures justice. Also be more conscious about your moldlines, people do notice them.
>>48170314
Right on. I do think you're right. I know the drybrushing fails a detailed inspection. I have a hard time finding good ways to do actual highlighting unless I've seen a painted version of the model I'm on. I will do my other Minotaur like that and post it in the next thread.
>>48170378
Awesome tutorial man. That is dope. Simple, too. I have everything laying around the house to make that already.
>>48169768
Remember to use the pic as a reference! Going by memory is bad.I should know.
Also, they look pretty sweet man, post more pics later!
>>48170529
Just random characters. I imagine the center guy is a dishonored Brettonian knight looking to redeem his honor.
How would I emulate white lichen on wood when painting something? Also, does anyone know what sort of MDF bases I should look for on ebay if I want to do scenery pieces? I got a bunch of plastic model trees that I plan on putting together to make a few groves for terrain.
>>48170552
Now looking at it, my armor too dark and the pads are too white. Thanks for the tip, nothing some Ironbreaker/Runefang Steel and Screaming skull can't fix.
>>48170529
What did you do to that mini??
>>48170651
Aye, the pads and knees are more of a light bone color, or a creamy white, I suppose. An easy fix!
Glad to help out anon, they're one of my favorite chapters.
Finished this guy the other day. I plan on using him as a barbarian in my Frostgrave warband. It wasn't until I took the pic that I noticed that glaring white spot of unpainted primer near his face. His skin didn't turn out the way I wanted, but for a tabletop quality paintjob, I think I did okay.
>>48169626
Well if you're going for a 90s aesthetic then you nailed it
>>48170593
Jesus Christ, , man. What did you prime these with? They are so grainy it looks like you glued sand to them.
Not sure if this is the right place to ask this but I didn't want to make a new thread. I'm planning on offloading a small force of necrons on ebay but I'm not sure what would constitute a fair price. It's not posted yet and I'm not gonna provide a link cause I don't want to come off like I'm advertising.
So /wip/, what do you think would be a fair price for pic related?
>>48171301
Honestly, I might be interested for $40-50. There really isn't that much done to them to justify them as being "Well painted"
Depends on shipping as well.
>>48171301
50% of whatever those units are worth. People can buy them new for 20% off so there's no point in charging anything above 80% MSRP as they would likely prefer new ones over pre-painted and assembled ones.
"But what if the buyer wants them pre built and painted". That's a perk to being a buyer, not a seller. Buyers who want pre-painted shit can take their pick of the litter from used eBay army lots that go for far below what the models are worth. Your bases are also outdated so that's not a point in your favor. The paint job doesn't look thick and you didn't paint over the tubes or build them retardedly so you might be able to charge more than usual for them but who knows.
>>48171142
great I'm perfectly okay with that, since it's Necromunda after all
>>48171301
>>48171350
this. 50-60% of retail is a good guideline. I'd say 60% since these are in good shape and painted fine and might not need to be stripped. just advertise them as "pro painted, incredible expert paint job!" desu
>>48171349
That's about what I was thinking. They're definitely being listed as "tabletop" quality. Shipping would be standard $5-ish shipping.
>>48171350
I'm not trying to get close to MSRP, I'm just offloading them because I never really play with them and it'd be a waste to throw them out.
Start auction at $40, Buy It Now at $70 in case of someone who for some reason needs to have my oldcrons sound fair?
>>48171301
It depends. Online, 60% retail is a pretty good deal, the paint job looks good, but go down to a hobby center (or anywhere 40k people that don't know shit go) and you could get away with selling "expert painted" miniatures at full, maybe more if they don't know stuff, price.
>>48171434
$72 is the MSRP of all those models so you can try $70 if you want but I doubt you're going to get any bites.
If you can, you should put a "Or Best Offer" option and you can see what people offer. Speaking from experience, you will sell much more easily if you set a Buy It Now with or without Or Best Offer. Open bid auctions never sell well unless it's a super large lot and a good deal, or rare models like limited editions or superheavies or in demand shit like marine Rhinos.
>>48171386
>>48171454
>>48171490
Alright, 60% of MSRP makes about $45, seems fair to me as a Buy It Now price. Thanks for the input /wip/. Hopefully my Necrons'll find a new home where they'll actually see some play.
Can anyone point me towards a video or guide for basing that assumes the audience is a complete retard? I've painted a bunch of minis, but never once bothered basing. I always thought it was a waste of time. I'm starting to see the light.
>>48171594
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lU4uXWliRTM
This one is retard proof. But if you want a different variety of bases, you can also use the standard "PVA glue and sand" which you will find literally hundreds of guides for on the internet, or if you don't trust yourself with painting glue and sprinkling sand everywhere, or simply want a non-sand texture, substitute Citadel texture paint for Vallejo texture pastes.
>>48171613
Wow, yeah I don't know how much easier it could possibly be than just slathering on some paint lol Thanks for that. I'll have to see if my lgs has any in stock.

Trying a new night goblin colour scheme. Converted this guy from a BFSP flagbearer to a great weapon boss, bit of tough cutting which i wish I cleaned up
Hey /wip/
I superglued a plastic figure together and want to debond it.
I did it because I had read on here that you could debond superglue on plastic minis but while I ordered some superglue debonder it acts as a solvent to the plastic too.
What do I use?
Also I have a lot of flying bases and want to trade the plastic shafts for metal rods for durability and would also like them to be magnetic so I can remove the figures from the bases for easier transport.
Anyone else do this and if so what kind of metal to you use?
>>48172568
Can't really be super helpful, here but I remember somebody showing of a similar idea.
He just used nails for the bases with a flat top and glued magnets into the minis iirc.
Because the nails have a head that might come in handy to keep the minis on there since it maximized the surface area where the magnet connects.
>>48172644
Neat idea. I'll be checking that out come morning.
So general question. Age of Sigmar is basically Fantasy Styled 40k?
>>48172775
More like Warhammer flavoured planescape.
What colour should i do for the hair and cloak? Im leaning towards blacl on black. But i could do the hair pale lilac like witch elves, or the coat dark grey like a wolf pelt. Also her straps will be painted black on her chest and legs if that makes a difference. And the belt will be bronze with tiny little khorne freehands.
>>48172176

>>48173125
>>48172712
Do you guys use 3rd party bases? It doesn't seem like many offer all the sizes that 40k models actually use. I think it would be cool to base an army all with one base theme. But many base makers seem to be lacking specific sizes like either a 32mm base, or a 50mm base (flesh hound). And let's not even try looking for someone making the 90x52 bloodcrusher base.
>>48173499
Secret weapon seem to have all the sized in most of their styles.
>>48172010
If you're using metal tools, use grease from around your nose to lubricate your tool so the clay is less likely to stick.
Also make slighter, slow movements.
Another thing, clay/color shapers (the name varies but they are the exact same thing) are also very useful for smoothing surfaces and making slight creases.

You should! even some simple edge highlights here and there really pops. I usually highlight with 2-3 layers depending on the look of the material, but I guess I got tired and simple edged the guns.
>>48173710
nice job! I really like the textured look on the leather. I think the squig looks too dusty though.
>>48172568
Put your minis in the freezer, super glue shrinks in the cold which allows you to easily snap joints open.

is that one that comes with the kit? i got my boss second hand and he came with this one.
i was checking out the secret weapon website, and i saw they have this promotion kind of thing where if you do anything that gives them coverage, like posting pictures of models with secretweapon bases on forums and shit, you can get store credit.
>>48174953
well, deepthroating skills and guttural music probably joins well with Slaanesh
>>48174953
You're not doing it right unless you're doing it to excess.
>>48169737
Paint it with Pallid Wych Flesh instead. It's off-white, but will still look very bright compared to most other things, and you can highlight it with pure white. It looks better and more natural.
This guy is painted with Pallid Wych and carefully shaded with Gryphonne Sepia (Seraphim Sepia now) and highlighted with bright white.

First time using milliput grey-green and something happened, so the first times the end color was homegeneous, but lately (even though I mix even more both components) it has white spots everywhere, does anyone know why?
>>48175755
Mine... needs highlighting. Doo dark.
On another note, I've gor some transparent, hard plastic that I want to look a bit dirtier. I'm thinking maybe some floor varnish maybe? Any thoughts/advice?
>>48175851
The stuff dries-out and hardens, causing it not to mix properly.
>>48169639
IMO you are doing it wrong in the sense that you are highlighting the edges, but the crystals are not transfering light.
I do Tau and the bases are in a planet with pure black sand and red crystals, and the way I do it is the same as what I did in this picture. Check the lights. They are done in a simple yellow with some lighter yellow highlight and then there is a dry brushing of yellow all around the area.
I do this even in the models, so models that are near a crystal have red light into transfered into their legs.

Job's a good 'un, boss.
>>48175912
Nice. I'd be happy leaving it there, some would have done a further extreme highlight.
>>48170614
I'd say 5mm thickness is good for terrain provided you smooth down the edges. I recommend this guys youtube, the terrain tutor

There you go /wip/ my latest finished project after moving from the UK to Singapore. A table. Sorta.
The lamp that you see is barely above the table since its normally made to be hung from a higher surface. And it's not a daylight lamp. What a down grade from before.
At least I have brush primer to be able to prime properly.

Come on, man
>>48176792
>Now how do i paint white? i mean for shading and highlights
Here's a GW guide for painting over black/white primer.
Some cliff notes
>don't use white except for your most extreme highlights. that way you can still highlight and control the color temperature
>depending on what kind of off white you use, you can control color temperature. Mix some light brown in it and you got a warm tone mix blue in it you got a cool shade. Use this depending how the rest of your scheme looks like.
>glazing is an easy way to get more tonal variation in your shades and do smoother highlights, but when using white it can sometimes end up a bit chalky.
>Working with a light primer should be a no brainer.
>>48165873
you're lacking in saturation differences and temprature differences, it all is a warm medium saturation colored mess, try to get some dark/warm bright/cold colors on there.
>>48174983

>That armour's too strong for blasters!
>>48173152
Great work on the models! I really like Nurgle, the fluff and rules (especially Plague Marines) are pretty cool, only problem is I hate the look of his demons. For being plague-ridden monsters of decay in a grimdark universe, they just look to cartoony.
>>48170614
stipple some of those colours in areas you want built up like that. Do a thinned wash of brown and/or green over the areas and lightly dry brush the lightest shade over the spots again.
>>48177733
I like the knee saws the best.
>>48167361
Maybe
Yeah I admit it. Blonde looks better. You guys were right.
Also I've almost finished all 20 of my deathwatch ( the original 11 plus 9 customs). Finishing a project is sad business.
>>48177005
smaller warbands have smaller warbosses. then a bigger one smashes his head and amagamates his larger force with the defeated warboss' force.
Now the larger warband has a larger warboss. That boss probably even grew a bit.
>>48176867
He looks like he is walking with weapons in he hands.
>>48177878
When humanoids walk, they swing one arm forward and one arm back. Right now it looks like he's trying to run like Sonic.
>>48177858
The one on the far right in the picture has great damage work on on his shoulders and helm in particular, any tips?
>>48177865
>smaller warbands have smaller warbosses. then a bigger one smashes his head
Sometimes, shootaz iz involved!
>>48177910
No, he really doesn't.
>>48178011
I wonder how much he grew after that
>>48176316
Don't have a preference yet, just want a nice set to teach the game with.

>People who paint white armies actually prime black
Wut
The paintjob continues.
>>48177963
I use a scalpel (box cutter would work as well), to either make slices, or use the tip to bore a hole for a bullet hole. I do this before any painting.
I won't lie, deliberately damaging your models to create realistic battle damage could fuck up badly. I tried it on a crappy mini first time . Remember less is more. You can always go back and make more latter. Just slice, then drop some dark wash in it.
I want to make a chaplain dreadnought out of the Blood Angels Dreadnought kit that's wielding a Dreadnought sized Crozius Arcanum but I'm stuck on what to actually use for the head of the weapon. I want a look like those with some thing in the middle and the wings on the side but I can't find much that would match well.
Anyone have suggestions?
>>48178349
>Anyone have suggestions?
How about Imperial Battleship bridge decorations from Battlefleet Gothic?
>>48169952
are you for real? He postscompletely unshaded not highlighted minis and you say highlight the lenses?
>>48170749
the freehands are tight, but his skin needs another layer of highlight
>>48178453
Don't know if that will even be big enough for him.
If it is though, there are cheap recasts of bfg stuff out there
>>48176867
it doesn't look that off, he just looks like he is charging a jump
>>48178453

I have those, they're not the right size
>>48178271
did you choose where to place the light source? it looks like it is coming form below from how bright it is
>>48178349
The crozius on the power armour caped guy in betrayal at Cath. It'd be about 2/3rds the size of what you want though.

Cawdor gangers from Necromunda.
>>48178349
kind of a loooong shot, but if you want to ruin one of the servitors that come with grimaldus, one of them is carrying a statue that kind of looks like that.
Might be easier to use the decorations from the tank sprue and sandwich some plastic card in the middle to build the volume up, that should give you something similar. Or you could use the bits from the cities of death buidlings with an aquila head and the front armor from the ravenwing bikes to build something like it.
Then add the spiked rivets around the edges to add some more detail and tie it in with their smaller counterparts.
>>48178693
The old necromunda cawdor gangers. Essentially redemptionists. Worth their weight in gold on ebay these days. Not even nearly as expensive as the arbites though.
>>48178799

My first time using a wash, does Agrax Earthshade leave a light grey sprinkling of paint on surfaces for anyone else? Also, I'm not sure I have a fine enough detail brush to go over the mini with more Khorne Red.

The light comes from above.
>>48178584
>I have those, they're not the right size
I was thinking, "what if >>48178349 were to take the Furioso Librarian's force axe and exchange the head for the ship decoration?"
You're right. I think the ship decoration would need to be about twice as big to look "heroic" enough.
Hi /wip/ i am looking for a european forum to buy used minis from. It needs to be rather big because these trenchers i am looking for are rather rare. Thank you
Making Sci-fi houses... out of garden solar-lights. Oh yeah, they light up in the dark too. Gonna make little roof terraces for them when I find a platform the correct size.
>>48178179
This is so good. I saved it back in february when it was first posted. Got anything new?

They take paint ok too. This one was brushed steel when I started. Only ended up green because the spray I wanted to use had solidified in the can. Was going to go with a verdigris copper instead.

Well, they're not Blood Angels. I can't think of a good reason *not* to sell them to you.

My god, thank the johnny, where are you from?(i am from italy)how many do you have?(i want 3-10 depending on price)how much do you want?

>My god, thank the johnny, where are you from?(i am from italy)how many do you have?(i want 3-10 depending on price)how much do you want?
I'm from the United States. The only ones I have are the two in the picture. I salvaged them (and a few Wolfbane Commandos) from a box of old miniatures that were destined to be melted down.
Ironically, since the game originated in Europe, I'm surprised you're having trouble finding these. I guess you could counter that you're having trouble finding them at a decent price. I'd sell them to you for $5.00US per model, plus whatever it takes to ship them to Italy.
>>48179685
Damn i knew it was too good, shipping to Italy isn't going to be worth it. Thank you.
>>48179266
just keep in mind they will no longer light up once you cover the solar panels ;)
May I suggest "Granny Grating" over that portion, painted before placed on top.
Or, alternatively, remove the panel from the top, keep the wires connected, and add the panel beside it at an angle and on a platform as a functional terrain feature.
>>48179758
You can still get these from Prince august in Ireland too...

>>48179758
>Damn i knew it was too good, shipping to Italy isn't going to be worth it. Thank you.
No worries. I wish I could help you more in your search. I've considered picking up a few of the old ugly Warzone/Mutant Chronicles figures to add flavour to our games of Siege of the Citadel.
I do know, if you really want the Trenchers with the Charger HMG, that Noble Knight Games has a lot of five of them on eBay right now. They tend to be overpriced, though, and I'm not sure they would be willing to ship to Italy.
>>48179767
I was thinking of having something that I could just lift off when they weren't in use. I'm not planning on using glue. The lids off pringles tins are spot-on size wise.... but they're a little bit flimsy and probably wouldn't take paint too well....
Anyone know alternative method/source for knight arms. Don't need weapons, but these rotating 'bicep' portions are tricky
>>48179279

>Orks have been neglected in favor of 30k recently though
EVERYTHING else but space marines is getting neglected.
>>48179857
They are flimsy, but if primed they should take paint fine.
You could consider magnets for removing and connecting the platform.
First layer one the skin done on the next 5 Tzaangors on the top leaving the last 5 (bottom) before the next layer of skin highlights on all 20. That will be with the old Space Wolves Grey.
