I'm trying to make some bases for some deathwatch terminators and I want it to look like deck plating. I'm using this stuff for the plating itself and I'm going to put some brass rod as piping and some grating to break up the space left over.
Does anyone have any other suggestions on what to use for deck plating bases?
Just started drybrushing an old fortress kit, complete in box, found it at a small auction and got it for £6, so quite a nice find
>>46855265
Neat!
I wish I could find cheap terrain. I was thinking about scratch building some but where I play has so much and there are already people who bring their own scenery for their army.
what color should i use for the higlights of a steel legio drab base?
>>46854217
Does anybody know what that tool the guy in the moldline video uses is called? What's your favorite moldline removal method?
Only took a year, but I managed to paint almost all of the basic Nephilim units. Still have to deal with Nekima, Tuco, one Young Neph and some assorted neverborn support. Not amazing, but decent tabletop- I'll take it when painting for 30 minutes leaves me in physical pain.
converted Warp Spider. I'm pretty happy with the way it came out, my most ambitious conversion so far.

>>46855954
Nice...makes me think of the 3rd ed codex scheme, in a good way.
Finally finished my verminlord! I'll never get to use this guy since everyone I play with hates everything to do with the End Times. I've pointed out this isn't a new unit, it's just a rules update of the existing (shit) verminlord, but nope, still won't let me use them.
Just waiting for his scenic base to arrive, then he'll be complete. He's got faults but I love how he turned out, it was a fun experiment.

>>46855711
I'm sorry but... this looks very little like a warp spider. The gun doesn't even come close to the profile of a deathspinner, looking more like an eldar version of a tank autocannon.
You have a deldar with a poorly-converted oversized gun and a turd of greenstuff on the shoulder.
>>46856391
Wow, it actually makes a difference. I finally managed to capture the whites properly.
Mining style armour (left), or shades of black ( right)? Also I'm not certain as bright blue as a spot colour. What would look good in contrast to greys, blacks, flesh, and purple?
>>46856468
the green stuff is supposed to be the spiders breathing toob.
As for the gun, Have you seen the profile of the deathspinner? It's looks like a heavy weapon stock with a thick tube at the end.
Also, I hate the warp spider model, so not looking exactly like one is not a downside to me.
Does it look like a thing with a hightech jumppack, a gasmask and a big weird gun?
>>46854217
I need to catch up ...
>>46856974
I think personally the guns too long and just looks comical, it also looks sort of wonkey
>>46855690
Needs more backpack, less gun length. Right now it's got a very strong resemblance to a vindicare assassin.
>>46857194
>>46857165
the gun is longer than I'd like. I'm going to take out the middle part on the next one, though keeping the grip on that might be a little delicate.
And the backpack does need more, but I'm going back and forth on what to add to it. I've got scourge bat wings, and lots of tubes rods and spikes.
And greenstuff, but I know I'm prety limited in my ability to work there, so I'd like it to be mainly bits with greenstuf at most filling in between.
>>46855690
>>46857352
I don't see a problem here.
>>46857503
And when you get into melee
![latest[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/iLpdtvl.jpg "latest[1].jpg")
>>46856974
>>46857347
The gun and crab backpacks are some of the two most prolific parts of the warpspider's look.
If you're not into the backpack, at least try to get the gun barrel right so that it doesn't look like one of several of the eldar's oval-headed heavy weapons. Just sculpt some lantern frames and beads on a round barrel and add barbs to the end.
Also using water to frequently wet your tools will make sculpting greenstuff way easier for you. For basic tubes, less can be more since it's easier to add a bit than it is to remove greenstuff without removing the entire part.
>>46857583
it's not the backpack I dislike. it's overall blockyness of the torso and the helmet looking way to big with the blade fangs things. I'm want to make something reminicent of the backpack, but I've yet to find a thing that works.
Good Idea about the lantern frame and barbs, that I whould be able to do.
And I actually went back and smoothed out the greenstuff after I took the pic, as the zoom made my mistake much more visable.
Anyone got any Iron Hands they've painted? Trying to find some inspiration.
Just bought and assembled this kinda painting table, tired of my paints and brushes laying around.
What setups do you have?
>>46858415
I had one of those but I got tired of it due to the limited working space.
>>46858415
Pretty sure I have a slightly bigger version of that, can't fit nearly all my paints in but it's useful for holding my 'working' paints.

Always worth getting right when you model your mini first time. Pinning helps as you can bend the pin to make it straight.
check it with an edge dry fitted before and after you glue.
>>46860374
The plan is to snip and file it, test like you said and then reglue, I got way too excited when I was making it, making me get sloppy
>>46859706
Thanks anon!
>>46859800
Fuck you too anon. I know I'm never going to win a Golden Demon, but it's always nice to get positive feedback, it motivates you to keep improving. It's never worthless if it encourages you to get better.

Another shot of him.
Looking to pick up my first airbrush for priming, first colours and varnishing. I've seen the Vallejo set that comes with a Harder & Steenbeck Ultra airbrush and 10 camo VMA paints for £70 (Not sure how much I'll use the paints as I do 40K, Infinity and Guildball largely).
Thats said, if I can pair this up with a generic no name compressor that has a tank off ebay, would that be a good setup to get started with??
>>46860540
yes.
>>46860530
>>46860497
At the moment I think it needs some more contrasting colours, it's all very samey and from a distance just looks like a grey mass

This. The first pic looks unpainted actually.
>>46860575
Yeah. I was thinking the same thing. Got any suggestions?

I actually do mostly like the new orcs. Some of the armor looks a couple bits away from being ork mega armor, but these guys look mostly fantasy, and having faces more than scowling/shouting with tiny slits for beady eyes really improves the expressiveness. I mean look at the pic, he's just so happy to be an orc!

Anyone here have experience painting in Army Barracks?
I am in no way good at this painting thing, but I'm having fun working on my chaos warband
The lascannon needs to be moldline removed, and the weapons (including the small storm bolter) need to be magnetised.

Your sculpting tool, or a pin.

I'm so glad I finally found an easy way to do GK eyes....now that I'm nearing the completion of my army. Unless I need to buy some more if the rumors about new formations are true.
>>46862472
Only if you consider ruining your own limited edition model with a joke paintjob not to be the epitome of self-trolling.
>>46862472
why would you purposely try to piss off your opponent? is the gamed not meant to be fun for both parties involved?

Experiment with some washes to bring out the details. The armour looks a bit flat. Work on being neat, don't get paint where it's not supposed to be.

do you not basecoat your models? Because that helps a ton to make them look better. .97 can of Krylon spray, and bam, your GW paint goes on smooth like butter.
>>46862981

You are talking about priming right?

No Anon, maximum trolling is playing cordially, gaining your opponents trust, proceeding to build up a relationship from there, finding out what he's attracted to, playing off that information leading up to a "confession of love," and then, one night, as you two are covered in each others sweat, you lean in close to their ear, as if to whisper sweet nothings, but instead shout "UR A FAGGIT" and then destroy his ass.

I'd also suggest reassembling the cannon as it looks wonky as fuck. Also the hanging banner on the front looks pretty awkward
>>46864234
While he does have a bit too many Citadel paints and no other brands other than a couple AP inks/MIG/etc, I'm far more concerned he actually has 3 pots of Humbrol on there.
Those 3 pots of Humbrol are a larger waste than even that entire Citadel collection.
Paint brand elitism is stupid anyway, especially when it's basically just anti-GW shilling.

Yeah, I took it with the LG G5. Thing takes HUGE photos.
Well, I can't find a single image via google of a Minotaur Legion Imperial Knight. Time to add one to the army.
>>46866809
You need about one megapixel to shoot hdtv resolution images. But because "25 megapixels is more than 23" is easier to explain to dumbasses than a half hour speech about photography, phone pictures are just going to get bigger and more useless forever.
>>46865515
Gaaaaah, your lights! They are in the wrong spot, how will you see foes now?
Also, depending on your army, you can put on various icons, shields, bardbed wire or even corpses.
My Word Bearers use the basic spike sprue, and it works out fine, this Rhino utilizes the AoS Corpse Cart

Do the Renegade sets come with full decal sheets or just those small ones for the specific two Knights you're supposed to make?

after I finish this one I've got one more to do, I'm not sure what kind of colours to go for on that one.
>>46868071
Depends on what color the Bolter is going to be.
If Metallic, I'd give red eyes. If red Bolter, maybe green. I'd avoid yellow here, and likely other blues.

Night Lords who forgot to update their lights. I guess they used all that money on sunglasses instead.

I'm the dude last or the one before last thread that you told the process to. Decided to do effect for that little cathedral piece in the Honored Imperium kit in green (with gold trim and black here and there).
Turned out pretty sick. Didn't take pics but I just wanted you to know you helped me learn an awesome technique. Gonna do it for my Ultramarine Kill Team now.

Should be up in the next two threads. I work a lot and my days off are coming up here on Monday and Tuesday. Will get those pics up then.
Goals for my days off (painting wise):
>Finish a Grey Hunter
>Finish a Noise Marine
>Finish the statue from Honored Imperium
>Finish basing Chaos Spawn
Promise to get pics too. Tbh shouldn't be too hard considering all this shit is like 80% done already and just need gluing together and finishing touches.
Maybe start on some terrain pieces. Kill Teams isn't really fun with grey men and pop cans.
>>46876879
>>46876899
I'd try to add a very thin green glaze or something like that to tint them towards green.
You can concentrate on the shadows to give them a somewhat sunbleached look.

>http://www.followingthenerd.com/ftn_news/secret-weapon-miniatures-review-part-1/#sthash.8Bmc2SBQ.dpbs
I'd check out the original tutorial by Mister Justin from SWM this is based on desu.
I do think the models are tabletop standard in that they have more than three colors and are reasonably well painted.
If you have been out of the game for the last decade check out the GW or Armypainter washes. They are not washes in the oldschool way, but diluted with acrylic medium so behave a little different than water with something in it to break surface tension.
Basically GW's old Devlan Mud or Armypainters Dark Tone are liquid talent and are gonna save you loads of time, especially for painting assembly line style.
>>46876990
I know the feeling. I love the story and atmosphere of 40k, I can only play with proper terrain and painted minis
Captcha: street signs
>>46877071
How does Devlan Mud compare to Agrax Earthshade?
>>46862250
>someone had the awesome idea to put a sacred relic of old Caliban on the back hatch of a Razorback so it faceplants the mud every time his squad disembarks
Yeah that's gonna earn you a cell right next to Luther and the other shitbirds.
Also, an update on my Razorback and a random assault marine I started while waiting for coats of paint to dry.
>>46877096
I'm planning on stretching my terrain paneling even further (again, will post pics but this may be a next week project).
By using display board foam and cutting holes out and inserting panels into the missing sections I can functionally 1.5x the amount of terrain per terrain kit. I have sprues from Citadel and Pegasus lying around and I'm going to liberally combine the two.
The plan is for the display board foam parts is to mix cheap black paint with baking soda and then dry brushing up to grey to make it look like cement.
The drawings I did look like it'll turn out alright.
Got the idea from a Hirst Arts thing.
>>46877146
Not sure since I haven't bought any of the new (not really anymore) paints yet. I think Agrax is a little more yellowish, whereas Devalan mud is a little redder and darker.
Kind of like the difference between burned umber and burned sienna.
>>46877178
Not sure what to think of the baking soda thing, but that's a neat idea. The CoD buildings by themselves tend to look a little too cluttered imo.
Keep us posted.
>>46877165
Those chapter upgrade sprues are a god send.
I hate doing water transfers.
Also great job! Love the classic door wings!
Question /wip/: as you've grown in the hobby have you also found yourself edging away from homebrew factions like craftworlds and chapters or at least drawing them as close as canonly possible?
>>46877240
Here's the basing to that Chaos Spawn I was talking about earlier. I still need to add grass and snow.
This was based with baking soda. With the buildings it won't be as course. I'm planning to spread it a bit thinner and mix with the paint itself. This was based with a plain soda and glue mix then painted.
Apologies for the file size.
>>46877251
I started with Dark Angels in 2nd ed and pretty much stayed with them. My Skaven are, well, they're rats. Not much individuality or special snowflake schemes for them.
I never got the appeal of homebrew chapters because in my experience are either cringey as fuck or made by people with appalling taste and no sense for colour coordination.
And I agree. I got a bunch of the shoulderpads and the Ravenwing sprues and they're awesome.
>>46877251
>have you also found yourself edging away from homebrew factions
My personal theory is that as you get older you have less time to fantasize and flesh out your DIY faction. Same goes for playing games as those tend to influence the narrative of your army's background as well.
Basically the less time you have the more appealing official factions are, because they stay alive even if you don't play. There is always new material and stuff they did, even if you didn't have time to play or write it yourself.
So in a word yes, I'm kinda the same. But I also get off on converting and sculpting so I constantly have new ideas for special snowflakes that I want to realize with plastic and putty.
>>46877369
I agree.
The only thing I have homebrewed is a Chaos Warband and I guess a small subset of Blackmane's Great Company (but that's just fleshing out a space intentionally left blank).
With the warband I just say they are very small and are in the process of taking over a planet VERY slowly because the number of marines are less than 50. I just wanted a deep purple and gold color scheme and nothing seemed to really allow for that that was canon.
So I picked up a brush adter a long hiatus. Still very much WIP but I like how the sword turned out.

Thank you very much anon.
I did use the washes, Nuln Oil on weapon blades, gloves and sash and Agrax on everything brownish + faces.
Essentially I used a darker tone for shadows, then a medium for everything, then highlights on everything but the armor, but I'm thinking that perhaps the tonal differences are too subtle when I'm just giving three coats.
>>46877146
>>46877209
I remember Devlan (might even have a pot somewhere...) and I'd say that Agrax is indeed yellower, no red tint whatsoever.
>>46876879
Needs washes for starters. Drucchi violet on the cloaks, brown on the gold and the blue one on the kilt
>>46876879

You've completed all these so congrats, the elves are table top standard. Everything else is excess to make them look better close up.

>>46878602
I appreciate it man.
I'm also going for the whole
"dwindling numbers, no resupply" schtick and making them grimy and battle damaged, I'll probably upload the Razorback later on, it's got grime and scratched paint everywhere.and just to make it a little more fluffier to their predicament, I'm running a full LotD detachment as well, will probably run them as warlord.
>>46874054
Good or useful?
Need more info on what you want it for/working on.
Do you own any already anon? From experience, I did myself good with a pair of knockoffs from Harbor Freight and amazon, one gravity fed, one siphon fed, to get a few different jobs done. I clean like a motherfucker, so getting them clogged and unusable while i practice and use them isn't likely, but if they go tits up i didn't spend a fortune on them and can go get another whenever. I've seen good Iwata and Badger for +150$ so "quality" goes a long way, if i were to assume.
For the second time in a few weeks, I've tried to open superglue and I can't because it's fused itself to the lid. How do I stop this happening?
>>46878886
clean the nozzle before you put the lid back on.
>>46878128
Yup
>>46865644
Where can I buy this?

Agrax is inferior in my opinion, more glossy. Army Painter Strong Tone is identical to based Devlan, if not slightly better because it comes in a dropper bottle.

>>46877165
The Techmarine who put it on there was a Fallen Angel who infiltrated the Rock and edited the records giving only The Lion access to the reason why it's on there, so no one dares to remove it.
Only took me 5 months to get around to trying the volcanic base thing from the advent calendar videos.
Works like fucking magic and takes no effort at all.
German nooby here again
2 done one to go!
im relly enjoying this so far, also its getting kinda easier holding my hands still and getting to know how paints actually behave helps so much.
also some advice and criticsm are welcome
>>46879498
Painting the base in brown before applying that crackle paint might improve its look
>>46879498
With the basing, see if you can do a coat of a darker brown before you put on the Agrellan Earth. The black/brown contrast is a bit much right now, and a quick coat of steel legion drab will help sort it and is dead easy
>>46879466
Looks cool but I never saw the point in making lava bases as it would look weird having your army walking over burning floor.
>>46879533
This sentinel was based using that method
>>46879550
Maybe for demons, idk. Just wanted to try it.
>>46879551
>>46879533
Good tip! but sadly the nearest shop is a hour drive away from my location so its gonna be a while that i can come around getting a pot of steel legion, but can i just scrape away agrellan earth when i decide to go through with this?
>>46879595
That'll probably work. What colours do you have currently? You might have something else that will work - any dark brown really.
>>46879595
>but can i just scrape away agrellan earth when i decide to go through with this?
You probably can.
Check out fantasywelt.de if you can't access a hobby store nearby easily. They ship for free if you reach 49€ (which is easy enough if we talk about gw stuff) and their prices are generally pretty good.
>>46879550
i had the idea of fiery orks for a while in my head
basicly they would come from a world that is constant volcanos errupting and that is painting them red
and those bases would be perfect for that

>>46879611
no sadly only pretty much the paints to paint the ultrasmurfs
>>46877464
I was looking for that too
>>46879595
Yeah, the crackle paints can be scaped off easily enough. Just use a small dull object, like a sculpting tool or sonething
>>46876640
It has something to ensure it won't sag this time
>>46879498
Honestly, that's a lot nicer than a lot of people's first efforts
I'd work on getting a more consistent blue over the washed areas. Obviously you want to keep the recesses darker, but carefully painting on a few layers of watered down blue will improve their appearance immensely.
For the gold, try going for a rhinox hide base and then drybrushing the gold over the top of that. Alternatively, give them a wash with seraphim sepia to add a bit of depth to them.
The other anons are right about the base too.
Overall, it's a very solid effort for a complete novice and you'll probably find that you'll improve significantly as you go along

>>46879498
I'd tone down the highlighting around the mouth/grill area. You seem to have missed to highlight some edges around the feet and knees. A good tip for doing edge highlights is to paint them with the "side" of your brush, that way you only hit the very edge.
I usually brace my hand/arm holding the miniature against the table, and the little and ringfingers of my painting hand brace against the hand holding the miniature.
>>46860982
Agreed, a little black and white checking on that would be baller
>>46880057
Well oh repository of wisdom, what do you say about mister bendy's work?
>>46879498
That second mini is looking great, after you do the third guy get yourself down to GW and pick up some layer paints and a Start Collecting Box!
If you stay dedicated to improving your painting then you'll be putting out some really nice work in no time at all.

These things will never not be creepy.
How long does it take you to prepare a rank&file dude for priming? LotR minis are beautiful but some have the most horrible mold lines. I may spend up to 15 min filing and cutting per soldier.
>>46878111
Will try some more washes, thanks anon.
>>46878117
Ty :3
>>46880953
I'm both horrified and amused by these. Keep going anon.
I was thinking of doing Hybrids with a red exoskeleton but I'm not sure what color should the skin be. A mix of skin pink and red? Any paint suggestion?
What do I need to use in order to cut the models with having small bumps on them? The scissors don´t work that well.

>>46881204
Cutters, the kind you would use on copper wire. Thinner the blades and deeper the angle, the better. Buy some from your local hardware store if you don't have them. The ones GW and a like are good but overly expensive
>>46880057
Yeah, that's pretty much it. And if you don't enjoy petty abuse and being the punching bag for other anons who never fucking ever post a picture of their own work because pointing fingers is just that much easier, then you can just fuck off to reddit.That's what i've done and it's really nice over there. People are actually constructive and helpful instead of spending most of their time inventing new ways to tell you how you should end your live for painting model soilders in a somewhat less then perfect fashion.
>>46881378
Get it from ebay and don't buy the overpriced GW version. You probably can get one for less than 2 dollar.
>>46881204
Little bits of sprue left over are a thing that happens, even with proper clippers. To see how to scrape them off (as well as moldlines) see what Saint Duncan is doing at 2:40 in this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RfToNrfoDh4
(Do NOT buy the citadel moldline remove that he's using unless you hate money.)
>>46881367
I'm just building them for fun really.
>>46881458
>the citadel moldline remove
The existense of that "tool" already insults me. The backside of a hobby blade does exactly the same thing.
Progress on my Frostgrave soldiers. I have fully magnetized all of these dudes, which works nicely thanks to how cheap these magnets are.
>>46881511
Looking good.
Really interested by Frostgrave - have you had a chance to play it yet? How is it?
>>46881531
Not him. Its basically mordheim light. (only your leader will level up) Really fun and easy to get into.
>>46881595
Cool, was thinking of buying a big box of Perry Miniatures mercenaries for my group to use as soldiers and get everyone to get their own wizard.
