blurry picture time
I'm converting up a SAG big mek, where can I find a bendy tube to use for the snotling feeding pipe of the gun?
>>44334397
>blurry picture
Then don't fucking post it. Go take a new one instead
Here's my apprentice/journeyman Runesmith I would like to use for WFRP. Like a lot of my models, I think it can still use a lot of work so I consider it a work in progress. I can still use a better camera, though.
>>44334509
By Imperial Command!
What are some good ways to make black armour pop? Going to be painting up some SM black but I'm worried about the base colour looking to bland.
>>44335344
Edge highlighting with a grey color
>>44335344
Basecoat leadbelcher then highlight with runefang steel then apply seven layers of nuln oil allowing each layer to dry before starting the next.
>>44335483
Are there any examples of this being done?
>>44335565
I don't have any pictures but a guy does it at my FLGS. The nuln oil makes the armor black enough but there's still a sheen to it, and it has natural highlights.
He does it with green for his grey knight swords and I saw him do it with blue for some Ultramarine commissions, it looks great.
It takes a few hours a model.
>>44334918
Dude, just drybrush.
>>44335344
just drybrush a dark grey, or some other colour if you want a different look.
Then highlight
done
>>44335763
That would have been a better idea yes.
> Oh, don't put primer on Reaper Bones, it melts the plastic they use
FOR FUCKS SAKES. I ended up spending 8 fucking hours on this one guy today. And of course I ended up giving up before finishing the highlights, because fucking yellow takes too many fucking coats.
I regret absolutely everything with this decision to make my half-drow paladin wear yellow armour.
>>44336855
I've primed over the Bones figures before, no problems at all? What brand of primer were you using?
>>44337028
Literally any primer. I can't really check what I've got right now, but it's some generic primer bought from a crafting store.
I was just told by 5+ people at my FLGS that primer melts the Reaper Bones. What primers do you use that you know don't melt them?
>>44336855
I've never heard that before, I airbrush Vallejo primer onto Bones with no problem.
>>44337072
I use Rustoleum American Accents. Primes with no problems, no melting or anything.
>>44337126
>>44337090
I'll look into both of these in that case. And I'll probably also just use one of my spare bones zombies as a test dummy to see if the primer I'm already using works on them.
I don't want to spend 8 hours painting one guy ever again. That was just misery incarnate.
Started painting one of the Blood Warriors I got from the Secret Santa(Thanks again Aussie-anon). The red is super thick I know, its been awhile since I've painted red and I totally forgot to undercoat it, so thats like 6-7 coats of red over black. Next model I'll def use the airbrush instead.
>>44337167
I know your pain, love Bones but painting them can be a pain in the ass. I'll wash the model with soap and water but theres always that one spot I missed that the paint wont stick to. So frustrating
Hey I want to build some chaos spawn, but want to do some serious conversions. Anyone know of some guides or cool images to help me decide how to build the little blights?
>>44336855
Don't bother with Bones figures. Get the metal versions instead.
>>44337613
>Don't bother with Bones figures. Get the metal versions instead.
Great advice, I'll go ahead and tell all of my clients to fuck themselves whenever they buy bones miniatures.
Also, I got these off my FLGS's rewards program. Free bones miniatures just for coming in and buying Monster Coffee to go with my 40k games is an offer I don't think I could not take.
So this is my first model ever, my bro got me a box of termagaunts about a year ago and I finally worked up the motivation to paint them.
Tell me how bad I am, I have no idea what I'm doing, how do i get good?
>>44337859
Add a wash and put on some highlights and it'll be fine
Honestly as a starter you seem fine to me. What I'd really work on is your picture taking skills
Is it easier/more common to glue a Daemon prince's shoulder and leg armor before priming and painting the body or after the skin it goes on top of is painted?
>>44337650
Because you totally mentioned they weren't your models to begin with.
I got a pewter mini with a slotted bottom and a slotted plastic base.
How the hell do you get them to stay. The gap is too wide for any glues I have. I don't think blutack is strong enough to be permanent.
>>44338574
You need to fill it with epoxy/greenstuff. What I did was cut up square toothpicks and stuffed them in the gap and superglued it. Only took one toothpick's width. There's also thicker, gel superglue and similar products used to fill gaps and you can use that but you have to hold the model upright while it dries.
>>44337289
Holy shit, Aussie-anon here, those look awesome man! Unfortunately I've been flat out cleaning my place for the relatives so I haven't even had a chance to touch my models. Thanks again, I've sent you something else (this time by proper mail) with my own Xmas card because I felt so shitty I didn't do it for you.
Also, this is the first time I've ever worked with Bones, what are the things I should look out for when prepping/painting (aka what do I do?)
Just about to paint this Night Lords Termi Lord and some more regular termis I slapped together, going to be a cheeky bugger in zone mortalis and use Sevatar to deep strike all the dudes with no mishaps.
>>44322425
Anon asked about the freehand on my TermieLib.
Here it is. Looks kinda shitty up close, but at arm length it's fine looking.
>>44339170
I actually really like it, thats a really nice freehand.
for my converts for my DA, i have a thin plastic stencil I made to paint over
Any UK/EU anons know where I can buy a nice brush set from?
>>44339170
Yeah it could have done with a darker grey base, followed by lighter grey, finishing in white to make it smoother but that's something to take with you next time I guess
>>44339170
Is there a reason you refuse to thin your paints?
>>44339448
That's not a bad idea.
>>44339490
I do a codex grey base followed by ceramite white. Then a skull white coat.
>>44339470
There's this small underground website called amazon.co.uk
Looking into getting an airbrush, any recommendations for a newbie? (I already have a compressor from a friend who couldn't take it with him).
>>44339738
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/1-6HP-Voilamart-Air-Brush-Compressor-2-Airbrush-Spray-Guns-Stencils-Hose-Art-Kit-/121704702509?hash=item1c562a622d:g:Z04AAOSwo0JWJdRt
shits tops, cheap and easy, just like your mum
Should I add flock to this? I was thinking a very yellow green(summer grass).
slight update on my Malifaux, slowly working through my massive backlog, still have far too many models left to paint though.
>>44339920
Wow, your brushwork on kaeris's skin is really nice. bases look very plain though, are they done?
>>44339939
Thanks, Kaeris was really fun to paint. As for the basing; I've done the firestarters base and I'm going to finish basing everything else all in one go once i've got the rest of the crew sorted.
Going to try greenstuff and ayumayu (or whatever its name is) for the first time, any advice?
>>44340232
Keep your tools wet. Greenstuff might be easier to sculpt if you let it rest for few minutes after applying to miniature.
>>44340232
First press small amounts into the most detail areas, Don't be afraid to apply a little force. After that you can just fill it up.
>>44339920
I'd love a zoom in on the skin on that chick very good.
I consider myself a somewhat accomplished painter but I've always struggled on Human skin
I fucked a bit of gluing up, and I need to fix that.
I heard about putting in it the freezer, to break the superglue bond. But I'm concerned with the paintjob, will it be affected?
Superglue, plastic models, gw paints and no varnish if it matters.
>>44340451
>put in ziplock bag
>put in freezer
Done
>>44340430
The skin only really looks good at a distance, it's too thick and it's something I need to work on in the future, i'm still happy with the mini overall and it looks fine when on the table.
Skintone is basically done with a basecoat of GW Ratskin flesh then just adding white and shading the recesses.
>>44340511
hurr, forgot my image
>>44340469
So the paint won't break off, only the glue?
>>44340522
xD diddies
>>44340561
It won't break off but it'll become brittle enough for you to safely snap it off with little resistance. You'll still have to wiggle off the rest with a knife.
>>44340561
The glue bonds a lot of water in its structure, that's why the freezer treatment can get it loose. The paint evaporates most of the water, so it won't be damaged much by the cold.
Are these brushes worth it? $10 dollariedoos a brush is what people tend to recommend. I need a full set as all mine were broken by some autistic fuck (long story). I'm ordering a bunch of stuff from this website, wondering if I should toss the brushes in too.
http://www.back2base-ix.com/brushes-p420.html
Otherwise I'm also getting a bunch of stuff from these guys. What brushes would you recommend?
http://www.tabletopempires.com.au/Hobby-Supplies/paint-brushes-13/the-army-painter-68ive never had good brushes, best I ever had was hogs hair. Want some good ones
>>44340628

>>44340575
>>44340597
Got it, thanks buds.
>>44340658
I hate this attitude. You don't go woodworking with dollar store tools do you?
>>44340658
Ehhhh I've got more than enough models (for me at least) so mostly I'm just looking for quality now, something that'll last me a good while. Plus, chinaman's got me covered for cheap models.
>>44340694
My thoughts exactly. Any recommendations?
>>44340711
I like the Windsor & Newton series 7 brushes, they hold a point really nicely and they're not massively expensive, I think I paid about £6-7 a brush.
>>44340763
>Winsor and Newton
Just looked them up, they're about $20-30 a brush. That's a little overkill.
>>44340795
fair enough, I do feel that they are really good brushes, and if I can find them cheaper I really can't recommend them enough.
>>44340829
Will keep my nose to ground for them. In the mean time, I think I'll run with the first ones. A full set for $60 isn't that bad and they seem like good quality brushes.
>>44340795
order from eu and take advantage of the strong usd
>>44340795
You looking at Dick Blick or something? Amazon has them at @ $15-20 a pop.
>>44340878
Aussie here. Our dollar is quite weak right now.
>>44340893
Again Aussie. Amazon shipping to here kills most bargains.
>>44340954
Perhaps look at Rosemary and Co brushes? They're a UK brand so they may be available cheaper?
"The weather is fine!" I said.
"It's not that windy!" I said.
"It's not that cold!" I said.
"That can probably isn't as bad as I remember!" I said.
The most powerful nailvarnish remover I can find yeah?
Thank fuck this was a test model.
>>44340991
If it's metal, yes. Otherwise get one without acetone. Or it'll dissolve the model.
>>44341086
Plastic, so yeah i'll find something acetone free.
Might just stick with black primer from now on, don't understand why it's so hard to prime white nowadays. I've had nothing but bad luck with the stuff.
recommend me an airbrush
I've never used an airbrush before but it would be really useful for me.
I don't have a lot of space so something like this would be ideal:
>https://airbrushes.com/product_info.php?products_id=21078
seems a bit expensive though, and it doesn't have a tank or moisture trap
Is this one too cheap and shitty?
>http://www.amazon.com/Master-Airbrush-Performance-Multi-purpose-Dual-action/dp/B001TO578Q/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1411863029&sr=8-1&keywords=airbrush+kit
in some reviews people say it gets incredibly hot
thanks for any advice
>>44341126
get a compressor with a tank on it.
>>44341142
in reviews of the neoair they say it maintains pressure pretty well without a tank, does it make such a huge difference?
>>44341126
A tank is a must have. It makes your airflow so much more stable. Also prevents the pump from overheating.
As for the brush itself, get yourself a good one. Yes that's expensive, but they'll last forever with the right care.
>>44341157
If it uses multiple pistons, the flow should be fine, but that will still leave the heat. Most of these can't run continually for more than 10 - 15 minutes.
>>44340694
They aren't dollar store tools, you just dodge taxes and european labor costs. The brushes themselves are great. You can also get windsor & newtons via aliexpress for 90$ a brush if you choose to. It's just a site that helps you dodge taxes.
>>44341101
Just get vallejo airbrush primers and drybrush those on. I'm from the netherlands, the weather is almost always shit for priming.
>>44341202
Airbrushing in the shed ftw, no wind, and airbrush primers don't care too much about the temperature.
>>44341142
>>44341167
>>44341182
ok thanks, are there any acceptable air compressors for just priming, base-coating and rough shading that don't cost an arm and a leg?
I don't think I need a bambi bb8 and I definitely don't want to spend that much.
maybe I can adapt a cheaper compressor from a refrigerator or something?
I don't have any experience with airbrushing but I'm pretty handy when it comes to other stuff so I think I could do it.
>>44341383
Not one I know offhand, I have an oilcompressor, but those cost an arm and a leg. So those are right out.
Didn't get any tips from last time, so reposting
For my stonehorn's furr, is this scheme good?
Primed with chaos black
Scorched Brown
Drybrush of khemri brown
wash of agrax
light drybrush of bleached bones
>>44339920
Wonderful work
>>44341470
I live in an apartment building so I don't have somewhere to use a noisy compressor, and I'd have a hard time justifying the price of a lubricated compressor to my partner... an expensive oil compressor will have to wait until I have my own house. I guess I'll just get a cheap tankless one and stick to priming/basecoating with it for now.
I know somebody who works in a workshop where they surely have an air compressor. Might be able to get away with using it for any vehicles or 'showpiece' miniatures I do.
Thanks for the advice.
>>44338971
At first I thought there was a chainsaw on the end of that gun.
>>44341523
Isn't there a small battery powered compressor from Iwata on the market now? I have heard good things about it. And it is whisper quiet, might be ideal for you.
>>44338971
Is that the dude's own chainfist hand? Been looking for a way to make the chainfist arm into a sword army.
>>44338634
Prep Bones just like any other mini, wash with soap and water(use dish detergent and an old toothbrush to really get in there), then prime as you would normally or not, Bones can be painted without primer, its more difficult but can be done. As for model lines, I find most times files dont work well on them, so I usually just cut them off with a hobby knife and that can be messy if you take huge gouges out of the model which is easy as the material is real soft. Then paint and seal as normal.
Very cool I look forward to it!
>>44339819
Green and yellow would work, since those are the already used colours I think
>>44341570
>At first I thought there was a chainsaw on the end of that gun.
Nothing wrong with that as long as gas prices stay low.
>>44341126

>>44342622
>nail polish remover
Agianst metal I've been told its ok, but on plastic is it safe?
>>44342970
If you intend to let your plastic rest inside that stuff for 15+ minutes: No.
>>44342970
Don't soak it. dip a q-tip in it and lightly brush the paint away.
Takes longer but is produces the best results.
>>44342970
>Agianst metal I've been told its ok, but on plastic is it safe?
It *must* be non-acetone nail polish remover and, as >>44342978 and >>44342997 say, don't let your stuff soak in it like you would with metal models and Dettol/Simple Green/Brake Fluid.
Dip your guys in it and scrub with an old toothbrush. Re-apply as needed, and rinse with lots of water when you're done.
Needed a break from the largest glottkin brother so I've started on one of the guys on top.
>>44343269

are there any Dutch bros in here? Im looking to buy a drill with actual drill come with them for not much money.

>>44343442

been working on this today, counts as gunsmith for my Arcanists (having to wait til February for the actual models to come out sucks.)
I'm not sure what colour to do the hat and coat, I'm thinking either grey coat and a dark bluey grey hat or brown coat with a black hat
>>44343448
Will look once I'm home, relevant site isn't working on mobile.
>>44341616
Frank Ippolito (Face off, Tested) has plugged that a couple of times; but he's probably running a shop conpressor for his main air, too. It does seem like it would make a good travel compressor, but maybe not the bast main compressor.
>>44343489
nice mini and nice paintjob anon, i'd go for a dark grey coat with matching or black hat
update on von Horstman, baudros is as good as done. not entirly happy with the base, suggestions anyone?
>>44343853
For a beginner such a simple compressor might not be a bad idea. Especially if they are only priming and basecoating with it.
>>44343905
Hey WIP, I'm doing my shopping list for my project box and I've hit a snag, I don't know anything about super-glues for reisen models and I need a lot since it's gonna be a sizable part of my army.
I've got mixed reports about Loctite and Gorilla Glue from a few other sources but I've found /tg/ recommendations have been pretty dead-on. What do you guys say?
>>44343938
>>44343966
>>44343963
Either of those are fine.
Get two part epoxy adhesive for some of the weaker gaps that need something more.
>>44343963
Both come highly recommended from various sides, I don't think you could go wrong with either. Might want to wait for more knowledgeable people to comment for the specific types though.
Emma's hand gestures really piss me off.
What's a good way to paint servo skulls? Should I base them in white, black, or silver?
I don't want to experiment on them because stripping would be a nightmare, they're so small.
Anyone here have any tips?
>>44343459
cheapest I could find:
http://www.sceneryworkshop.nl/drill-handboor-tl5001.html
http://www.sceneryworkshop.nl/pin-vice-5-drills-handboor-tl-112.html
they're €8,25 and €9,50 respectively rather than €22 for the GW version.
>>44343448
Sorry, >>44344366 was supposed to point to your post, not the other one. My mistake.
So I've got every other paint for painting ork skin besides the base-coat, Waagh Flesh. Any other GW or Vallejo paint that works well? (I don't have the Vallejo equivalent either unfortunately.)
>>44343448
Pinning drills are what you want. You can get a decent set at almost any hardware store or aliexpress. Any cheap one will do for plastic, the better ones can do metal too.
>>44344282
Primed with Vallejo grey primer, silver all over, based the skull with brown and worked the color up from there. Its not gonna win a Golden Demon but I think it looks fine.
>>44344377
>>44344366
thanks a lot, gonna be 5 euro verzendkosten anyways, still cheaper than GW stuff
>>44344797
Thanks m8
>>44341625
Yeah Bro its just his original chainfist hand, all you have to do it cut away the bottom and clean it up and you can then chuck anything on it! Priming is now done, time for some details.

Haven't painted in ages but this was my very first one I ever did, about 6 years ago now. Was very proud of it and I still am I suppose. Excuse the god awful camera resolution
>>44345398
god that looks even worse than I thought. jesus christ
>>44345398
>>44345443
the resolution isn't so much the issue as the focus. Put those models on a simpler background (a single colour bedsheet will do just fine) and let the auto-focus do its thing in Macro mode, that should come out loads better.
>>44345398
Nice stealthsuit
>>44345617
yeah the optical distortion field is working just fine, but I think that's a Warmachine Gangplank?
Finally got to priming and assembling. Got the raised edges, next is anything metal, then brass.
Also, rear sponsons are magnetized and GW sent me a pack of skulls. Gonna add them on when I get my renegade icons in and can work on all that junk.
Also: I'm thinking about two demolisher dozer blades on the front. Anyone have measurements for it?

Decided to try my hand at painting at last. Any advice for what I could do better next time?
>>44346302
the colours look good, but I'm missing the highlights, so either make those on the grey and red a little stronger, the metal looks pretty good, and I like the lenses.
Working on a raven guard kill team for heralds of ruin, painting up some new models for a less traditional raven guard playstyle. Don't worry, he's a stealthy terminator.
>>44342622

You dont see the rest of my army.
>>44346459
Found it really hard to figure out where to highlight outside of the hood. Shit's smooth.
>>44346908
start by only picking out the extreme edges with a lighter tone of the same colour. Then pick out the outer most extremes with an even lighter colour (this will generally only be a small area).
That should help add a little definition to the model.
>>44347017
Thanks, will give that a try with the next one!
>>44346892
Would you trust a man without a beak with your life?
How the fuck do i add weathering/chipping to black models like Iron Hands?
>>44347120
The chapter can't be all beaks, silly.
But point taken.
The storm bolter termie is mostly because assault is kinda awkward in kill team. Especially against my tau opponent.
>>44347244
>prime metal
>varnish
>paint black
>scratch black paint
>metal underneath at weathered points
Just like you would do it with a tank or plane
>>44347244
Break apart some foam and dab on metal with it in areas where you want a chipped look. After that paint around the metal with a dark grey and highlight as normal.
>>44347244
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7MbQMwnjqik
Yes this is one of Emma's tutorials, but most of what she's saying is colour independent. You could use a slightly brighter colour for the damage, but the metal parts work just as well on black as they do on anything else.
>>44347385
What metal? Leadbelcher, ironbreaker or runefang steel?
>>44347434
Emma is using Runefang for the metal damage, see >>44347394
>>44347244
It looks pretty neat if you paint a dark brown into the crevices of the armor. The whole paint chipping thing can be done in a variety of colors. Something rusty like a dark terracotta could work well, depending on what you are going for.
There's a video on warhammer tv for some orky stuff that was painted that way. Can't remember exactly what it was they painted, maybe parts of the stompa, or the new kit that is slightly smaller.
There is also a pretty good WIP thread currently up on the BnC where a guy paints taurans like I mentioned above with red chips.

Leave it to chinafags to be retards.
Your brush is your most important tool that you use 100% of the time while painting. Why the fuck would you skimp on that?
Don't listen to retards who buy shitty, ugly misshapen recasts for advice, because they will only result in you getting shitty, ugly, misshapen results. If you can't afford a $10 sable brush then just play with mud and sticks instead of miniatures.

I have no problem getting chinaman recasts, especially for things like Empire models. Plus, their quality is top-notch, and I have yet to receive a model worse than some extra flash or webbing between fingers.
Brushes and paints on the other hand, now those you never skimp on.
Just got back into painting. Finished up this Witch Hunter Assassin today. Starting on her sister after Christmas. Have never taken photos of my mini's before so sorry if it's shit.
>>44348257
Photo quality is good paint job is Superb!.
>>44348257
Don't be sorry, your photo quality is better than most (good job in listening to the advice for taking model photos).
As for the model itself, I fucking love it. Sure there's some details that could use work if you zoom right in, but that is an absolutely gorgeous model. Well done. Especially impressed with the freehand on the waist tunic(?) between her legs.
Only recommendation would shrink the filesize down to around 1-2mb
>>44348257
nice solid paintjob looks good.
Just out of interest how did you do the metallic blue?

Are you playing a mage hunter list?
I'm planning on buying a Ret army in the future and it's just Ravyn, Discordia, shit tons of Mage Hunters, two Stormfall Archers, and some Mage Hunter solos and Eiryss.
>>44348337
Looks like basecoat silver -> blue wash -> edge highlight
>>44345038
dog the handle on that chain staff thing is wonky as FUCK
>>44348917
just the angle bro, its pretty straight
slight update on my gunsmith. Got the basecoat and wash onto the coat, I'll be making the coat look a fair bit paler once I start highlighting it probably.
Which do you think is better; rounded or the angled chest I had before?
Anyone here have any luck creating a juggernaut mounted Khorne Lord for 40k? The only cavalry legs I'm finding are the Thunderwolf ones and to be quite honest the fantasy model looks good enough that I'm considering running it vanilla as a human Khorne Lord leading the warband if the conversion is a hassle.
What do you all think about magnetizing guards men? So far I'm magnetizing 4/10 guardsmen so that I can quick change my sergeants and special weapons dudes. Thoughts or opinions?
>>44348337
1:2 (drops) highlighted by 1:4 respective to the image. Then highlighted the whole thing with Citadel chainmail mixed with white.
I was experimenting and I never used the metallic medium so I thought why not and just started playing around with it and found a nice mixture.
>>44349776
Oops
>>44349620
Got one I did up quick and dirty, haven't finished it though. Terminator legs worked.
>>44349826
I like the bone color you have there. would you care to tell me what you used to get that color?
>>44349826
Looks pretty good. I'll pick some up in my next bits shop. Just normal termi legs then?
>>44348535
I run Kaylissa with Mage hunters, a griffon, and a chimera. I've gotten my hands on a metric ton more of ret thats just exploded my backlog but they were on sale and I love the way they look. I dont really know what to do with it all though, because I just play with 2 buddies who run Cryx and Khador.
>>44349870
Brown, Ulthuan Grey, wash with Sepia until you get the shading you want, then thin layers of Ulthaun Grey again finished with edge highlights of any of the bright whites
>>44349907
yeah I was lucky enough to have a few loyalist and choas termi legs lying around and just dry fitted them all until I found one that worked for that particular Jugger (they all have different poses so different legs may work better with some)
>>44347269
>The chapter can't be all beaks, silly.
We're not even Raven Guard, and yet ...

We like to mix it up sometimes.

She looks like her fat pussy really stinks
I'm beginning to fall for AoS. Those models so delicious, converting bits and pieces to make another dark apostle to my collection, but thinking about making his backpack removable so maybe I AoS one day.
but it puts me in a pickle because I don't know what to put in his left hand.
Total newbie here, I'm assembling my first bac marine and having doubts on whether or not I should glue the gun arm before or after primer.
What would be the most efficient way?
I'm using Zap a Gap glue if that matters.
>>44353223
I play iron warriors, so the bolter and armor are the same color anyways, so I glue it before. I use plastic glue by the way, as it has a better bond than super glue because it melts the plastic together. for my blood angels, I glue the arms on, but leave the bolter off and just super glue it in after both the body and gun are painted, scraping some of the paint off the contact points so it glues better.
>>44353223
>>44353484
I do use superglue for things that already have paint on them though, like by blood angels in the previous post where I glue in the bolter last
>>44349549
round for sure
>>44343112
And a mr. death eagle too?
What kind of gun is that again?
>>44354469
>And a mr. death eagle too?
>What kind of gun is that again?
It's just a bolter, perhaps with some kind of suppressor. A lot of unusually armoured models from Rogue Trader days bear strange-looking weapons.
So, I just found some small silver pendants that were left by my grandfather before passing away, and I found an amazing crane whose head is just 2 mm bigger than a pauldron.
The head alone fits perfectly into my plague doctor inspired raven guard successor chapter, and i think it'd be nice to add them both in his memory and for aesthethic reasons.
My question is, How well does silver hold primer/paint? What kind of glue would you anons suggest?
>>44354921
I would probably not make my grandfathers silver pendants into models.
>>44355852
I second this, seems disrespectful and flippant
>>44354921
Just make a mold out of oyumaru and cast it in greenstuff.
>>44356130
This.
Craneheads for all sergeants while actually respecting your grandfather.

So instead of painting details on my Night Lords I started on my World Eaters tac squad......
>>44356414
is there a way to make a gyrobomber into a small airplane?
>>44341126
I'm just learning the ropes with using an airbrush so I got the Amazon deal and have to say I'm perfectly fine with it. Honestly I think the whole needing a tank thing is really for people that actually use an airbrush more commercially, like painting their walls etc. These are mini's, your going to be using short controlled blasts.
For the price, I think it's great for a beginner, you can always splurge out on the more expensive equipment later when you actually know what your doing.
>>44356541
It would be more about scratch building an airplane and fitting as much of gyrobomber into it.
And if it's supposed to be (designated) bomber, I doubt it will be small. Because wings.
>>44356541
>>44356603
On the other hand, there's this guy...
>>44340991
I made an even worse mistake, with a limited edition White Dwarf model.
>>44352423
Unless you want to have a shield or something particular, I'd say he looks like he'd go well with a pointing hand.
>>44348017
Leave it to retards to make assumptions. I use windsor & newtons myself but I was curious about the quality of china kolinsky brushes so I bought a pack and was pleasantly surprised. Yeah, not 40 dollars a brush worth quality but at 3 dollars a brush you can't buy anything remotely as good anywhere else.
>>44349667
You could just get more guards instead huehuehue
>>44356421
Fuck yeah white scars
>>44356695
um... anon, i've got some bad news for you...

I'm going to paint the Stonehorn in the next week, does anyone have tips/tutorial for the Stonehorn?
I hate asking, but does anyone know where I could find cheap Alpha Legion conversion bits? I've got 30 marines to modify and $90 per ten is just ridiculous. I've found some on various sites, but they disappear within a day.
>>44358244
Do you mean third party stuff? Did you check the usual places like chapter house and various fora?
>>44358280
Basically recasts.
>>44358244
I think you can get some stuff from spellcrow.
Maxmini might have some too.
Aside from that you could look into recasting.
>>44358287
Issue with recasts is that one day they exist, the next they're gone. I'm trying to find recasts of the Forgeworld bits, but it'd be nice to find something that's there for more than 24 hours.
>>44358286
>>44358335
They're quite easy to find but we can't post them here because GW monitors 4chan
>>44358376
I'd offer contact info of some sort, but 4chan. God dammit, GW.
>>44358335
I'd go with Z if you're a poorfag. It's like 15$ for 10 each torso, head, shoulderpad.
>>44358376
>GW monitors 4chan
for sure
>>44358386
Just use google. Its not that hard
>>44358386
>>44358376
Yeah because GW hasn't found the big recast subreddit board with instructions, reviews and shit so they have to troll 4chan for their info.

Last Advent Calendar video, Duncan does Calth Word Bearers.
>>44358401
That was actually helpful. Thanks, man.
>>44358335
I meant recasting yourself. Buy one FW kit and then make molds of it.

This is the same company that modernized their webshop only 2 years ago and doesn't collate a rise in sales with opening up shops in a region.

Is that from the female Malfiaux character kit?
I was considering picking one up so I can make a proxy Obedient Wretch for my metal Hamelin crew.
>>44359426
Ethyl butyrate is just a weaker corrosive than butyl butyrate but it's still pretty goddamn corrosive.
Anyone got any ideas of things I can add with greenstuff to change one of my Ghoul models to look more like a Dreg for mordheim?
Out of curiosity, how does a sponging/stippling technique transfer to large vehicles?
Basically like the pic which is almost pure sponging, would that carry over well enough to tanks?
>>44359669
Our lord who art in heaven Duncan has used this on tanks and even a gorkamorka. You just pick out the edges and use the sponge to stipple along the edges, first a brown and then over the dried brown a steel for added effect
>>44337289
I... I actually like the way you got the red to look. Very solid? Not sure that's the right word. Bold? Bright? Anyway, not bad IMO. Just remember...
>>44359772
I know what you mean, it almost looks like the red is a leather. It's nice and thick, kinda adds to the effect
thinking about repainting my chimeras. should I strip them or is it not necessary on vehicles?
paint job is not bad, but I just want to change the tank pattern
Okay anons, I'm looking to convert a plastic daemon prince into a warboss. The stock bosses are so weedy, the that prince is RIPPED. Trying to decide what to do with the legs, the digitigrade legs of the prince make this kinda tricky. Any suggestions?
>>44359967
swap head for a fantasy giant head
you could also do dreadnought legs
rob a gundam model
the legs for the Boneripper work as well. As long as you feel its ork feet.
you can always cheese it with total mechanized replacements, but that feels wrong to me.
>>44359947
Depends, have you got a pic on hand to give us an idea. Stripping is always for the best, but if it's just a simple pattern might work to just cover
>>44359967
Why not use dreadnaught or just plasticard some cybernetics legs. Make him like that Ork HQ who had metallic crows legs
>>44349826
Wash that metal. Everything else had s but of dirt and grime to it and the metal looks really clean.
>>44360017
scratching away the greenstuff on the green one
>>44359669
I did just that with this tank just recently, sponged on a couple of different colors during the weathering process.
>>44359772
Thanks! Here's a small update, some skin base coated and a quick wash. The red I used is Heavy Red from Vallejo Game Color. Part of the reason it took so many coats is because that color is "extra opaque". Working on the skin, then highlights. Trying to have this guy wrapped up today.
>>44360790
looking great, especially for this close up. did you miss the neck, or are you going for like black bodysuit look
I remember seeing a picture of someone casting a quarter of a leman russ to make terrain out of it, would anyone happen to have that picture, or any other short terrain making pictures.
