First for GW paints are better quality and value than Vallejo.
second for I use loads of different paints from different manufacturers and I like all of themP3 metallics are shit though
Third for all paints have their own special place and value and we should all be nice to them all.
Fourth for summoning church guy
Anons decide which number allow people to choose their chapter.
Anon then has to paint one lovely marine like said chapter.
I'll start.
4 chooses my chapter.
Still in progress member of The Brothers Aberrant from the Deathwatch Overkill box
>>47221846
and his back (in progress)
Progress on my farseer.
In hindsight I should have attempted wetblending the color on the robes rather than just a flat base with highlights.
The other parts are coming along well.
>>47221913
slightly different angel
>>47221197
>In a few months it would be cool if we could get anons who have inspired by the old Blood Angels guy and make a collage of all the brother Craig models.
Why wait?
>>47221950
Based anon.
>>47221950
I'll paint mine so that you can add it to the collection.
>>47221846
really nice fleshtones and blending.
At first I thought the brone on thethe blue/grey bits awas a mistake, but it actually looks really good.
The hammer could use a little more shading or color contrast on the shaft and warp. It doesn't look bad, but against the quality of the rest of the model it stands out as very flat.
Like the cloth too, what did you do for that? Starting to paint up some cloth and robes and could use tips.
My lighting may be too bright. Still, worked on weapon options to my knight. Thunderstruck gauntlet and rapid-fire battle cannon. Any anon still have that heat discoloration tutorial from, wanna say white dwarf?
progress on my snowgor, soon to be finished i think
>>47222127
Ah awesome. Glad to see it finished up.
It's still unnerving.
Nice Whites.
>>47221950
>tfw someone saved your model photo
>>47222011
Hey thanks for the comment, this dude is about 50% done at the most and you're right the Hammer shaft needs work I havent even started on it yet.
All I've done for the cloth there was a few coats of milky Khorne Red, and then two medium thinned washes of Nuln oil, I want to repeat the effect I had on this miniature.
This was probably five or so washes of nuln oil i think
>>47221689
Black dragons, and I want to see every marine converted to have the bare arms and spines.
>>47222011
In addition here is my Magus, this was a little different.
I painted a muddy khorne red and black as a base, and then applied multiple thin layers to build up what you see here
>>47222506
Seconded
Gal Vorbak just seem so ridiculously difficult to paint.
>>47222127
Varnished, so gonna roll it all together on the knight collage
>>47221913
No time like the present, wet blend in what you have by going over what is already there and glazing the colours together. He could also use some highlighting on his hat, it's looking a little flat, keep it up.
>>47222127
That's great, where are the tentacles from?
>>47222194
you gonna paint the flag?
>>47222756
sweet man, not gonna lie though, I think the purest pure pure white was a strange choice but you did good work here
>>47222795
Maulerfiend Lasher tendrils
>>47221338
I like them more than a lot of vallejo metallics, which range from perfect to shit
>>47218813 (posted this at the very tail end of the last thread)
Moving forward with my gangly armed CSM-DPoT.
>#A
Squished out some GS and placed it over the back of the wire.
>#B
Same for the forearm.
Pressed these around the wire on all 3 right arms with my fingers, then did some initial smoothing with a metal sculpting tool covered in vaseline.
>#C & #D
Further smoothing done with a firm rubber headed cone shaped sculpting tool.
Formed elbows as well.
The 2 other left arms will now be done and then I will add muscles once these have cured.
>>47221689
>>47222574
Sorry, dude, but we win.
>>47221689
That should just be a roll chart. Also seconded, I have a single tac marine sitting around that I might as well give a proper treatment.
>>47223682

I'm actually making one now.
>>47224013

>>47224013
Winrar, will do and post results eventually as promised
>>47224327
You got lucky, I was about to write Ultramarines but I went for their cooler cousins.I'd feel guilty for making someone paint ultras t b h, fampai
>>47224401
I would too. Now time to figure out how to do quartering.
>>47222918
Got the bulk of the 6 arms done for now and I will let them cure.
I was bored and had never made one before so I made a "360" gif of this DPoTzntch's current WIP status.
I tried to minimize file size.
I finished a unit of chaos warriors/sons of Korgaan and realise that there are some helmet mold lines that stick out like dog's balls.
>>47225393
Or, if you prefer, a collage of some choice still shots.
>>47225557
>>47225393
>>47225559
That is a really nice DP, you should be proud of it.
The 360 gif was nice too, was it time consuming to make relative to just posting 4 photos from different angles?
>>47225615
Thank you very much! I am getting more and more proud of it as it progresses.
>The 360 gif was nice too, was it time consuming to make relative to just posting 4 photos from different angles?
Most definitely. But, I do have the 4 image thing down to a pretty near keyboard shortcut science and I am sure I could make a gif again much faster than the first time.
Gates of Antares Isorians I finished today, fairly happy with them but got a little lazy with them
I made a chart.
>>47227056
Anyone have a blown-up version of this? Specificially the Exorcist?
>>47227123
>Anyone have a blown-up version of this?
I literally just made it.
You can find better Exorcists pics on the wiki.
>>47227056
Carcharodons and space sharks are the same
>>47227148
They're actually different. One is the old scheme, which is just grey with the red stripe, the other is the new one, which is grey and black and has those fancy tribal designs. I have both versions of the Minotaurs on there as well because they're so radically different.
>>47227148
>>47227188
>I have both versions of the Minotaurs on there as well because they're so radically different.
Er, well I thought I did. Guess I covered them with the Star Phantoms at some point.
>>47227056
Hmmm, might actually do this tomorrow.
Let's see what I get here...
>>47227261
>yellow jackets
I might have seen or heard that name before but I don't think that's on official chapter.
>>47227148
What a coincidence!

very nice, I love the colour contrasts.
Is this for KoW?
WIP Raven Guard tacticals. Middle is the standard bearer. Took me a while but I'm pleased with the gold and the freehand Raven.
Right is the sergeant, his pteruges ended up a bit too red so I decided to go with the punkish kilt and Mohawk combo.
Left is just another bolter guy.
The OSL on their eyes looks quite good in person.
Once I get them on the base I'm gonna weather those fuckers up, that is also why they have minor line highlights, as it can look quite awkward after powders.
Only arms bases and backpacks remaining and then I'll have finished my first ever 10-man squad.
A while back /tg/ had a 40k alt lore project called the Horus Heresy. I painted some terminators after one of those legions. They were called the Entombed, and they had tons of dreadnoughts.
Very late and pretty much done wip of my greater daemon of Tzeentch. Was supposed to be finished this Saturday for a competition but I reckon I won't have him done for a while now as I got a job at Forgeworld and start in a few weeks!wew lad
Will definitely post him he's a big more together.

Wow, congratulations. What kind of job? As a painter? Sculptor?
Beautiful Daemon btw.

Thanks. They are for Kings of War, part of a Varangur army. Pic related is the leader I posted a few threads back.
is this only for statues? I'm WIPing some characters in photoshop.
>>47227630
That is a magnificent painjob. Best of luck in your new job at Forgeworld.

You could check out the Drawthreads and try to get some feedback from the other artists.Requesters tend to swoon or be entitled cunts with little inbetween.
>>47227703
I'll be a graphic designer concentrating mostly on books. Apparently there is quite a bit of room for crossover so I could be working on miniatures at times.
>>47221689
Can't see shit, captain.
Do I need glasses...?
>>47227056
Fuck it, bored of my homebrew right now anyways. Could possibly use an allied force for one of my other armies, let's see what chapter we get.
>>47227791
Well hot damn. Again, congratulations. Having the chance to work in other departments from time to time sounds awesome.
>>47227375
Wow they look real bad in the flesh.
>>47227844
Fuck, these lads actually sound pretty neat.
But painting that yellow is suicide-tier.

I did something like that when I painted some Orks.
>>47228159
Mould lines dude.
Need to get some more light on there when you take your pics.
>>47227630
I've been tabletop gaming for 30 years... that's the most beautiful model and paint job i've ever damn seen. I'll be printing these pictures out and adding them to my gaming room.
Holy goddamn smokes, sort of lost for words
>>47227630
I asked before but are you sure you don't do comissions because i need these models in my life ...
>>47228259
I guess you don't look at CMON a lot? Not to take away from their excellent job, but it's hardly the best in the world.

hey guys i got a shitload of minis from my friend from who stopped playing playing chaos
how to i transport these guys because my toolbox is getting too stuffed, although i dont want to spend 150 bucks on a box
Also post your mini transporter
>>47227674
these remind me of pic related, how did you do it
ive been trying to do my pink horrors this way
>>47228716
Considering they're both by the same person that'll probably do it.
Wet blending, glazing and an incredibly ostentatious colour palette
>>47228716
This guys got it >>47228893 except the glaze part as far as I recall. Maybe a few glazes on the yellows and greens.
>>47228546
/tg/ is my bro, I could never leave ; - ;
>>47228969
Created an account on tumblr just to follow your paint jobs, they're amazing, are you sure you don't do commissions, dude?
>>47228615
Not the guy who made the chart but good eye. Think you could add an IF in olace of the lamenters? So that we get a correct chart
>mfw I can get only siliconed parchment paper and it's terrible for making wet palette
>tried to boil it for a few mins like someone recomended
>still shit
I watched dozen of wet palette tutorials and I feel like paper is my biggest problem with it.
>>47229219
Just go to the supermarket and buy cookie paper, damn.
Or don't bother with a wet palette and use flow-retardant as your thinner.
>>47228615
Yer a shit. Also, updated.
>>47222514
very nice
>>47229277
Thanks a lot anon. That's somethi g I'll post often.

>>47228716
>That one throwing up the horns

>>47221913
Make mixes of the base and the highlight and add some intermediary steps in between to soften the color, then go over it with a green wash
>>47229347
>>47229406
>>47229457
I expect to see a Reviler, a Flesh Eater and an Angel Porphyr soon.

How do I model huge banners?
I wanna have huge banners on my chaos spacemarines but I'm not sure how to model
A) The marine holding the banner
B) If I should make the banner from plasticard or greenstuff.
I'd like something like this- But I'm not sure how to do it with a chaos space marine model.
>>47230277
>B) If I should make the banner from plasticard or greenstuff.
You could use paper and PVA glue.
>>47230314
But can I really paint detailed motives on it?
>>47230319
Sure, if you prime it.
>>47227056
Hell, I´m gonna roll and start a new chapter.
>>47230277
If you have a heat gun you can make a nice strong banner.
Heat the cut out banner until pliable then drape it over a few objects that will give you the folds you want. Pencils and rocks are good for that.
Then heat the top edge and wrap it over your banner pole.
You can even add designs with thinner plasticard over the top.
For marines I either have them holding it in one of the pistol arms for a more static pose. Or I weaponise the baner with a blade on the bottom and make it look like they fight with it.
Third option is to mount it on their power pack.
Can a dry blower do it? I dont have a heat gun?
>>47230390
Oh this one's going to be fun to look at.
>>47230495
>>47230390
i'll let you reroll anon, that's one fuck-ugly colour scheme
>>47230410
Sorry, can a dry blower do it? I dont have a heat gun.
>>47230277
Not quite as huge, but I make my banners out of empty condiment tubes. You can cut them any way you want, pose them easily and they'll keep their shape.
>>47229277
I'll give it a whirl

I think I saw someone use a thin copper plate
Any advice on technique for beginners? I've painted one mini so far and it looks like absolute shit. I feel like I got impatient and rushed it? My problem seems to be not spreading the paint evenly enough.
I feel like, i'm trying to cover every part with a base paint, and then it ends up getting thicker and thicker and then some details start to get lost.
I don't have a picture right now, but are there any general tips on technique?
Chaos land raider interior ive been (slowly) working on, still havnt done the fused driver or engine.
Any suggestions on the engine? Was going to just air some warplock bronze in there and build up layers of weathering/other meatalics drybrushed on.
>>47230672
Have you watched many Duncan's tutorials?
Have you cleaned your moldlines?
Have you thinned your paints?
Have you made sure you don't have too much paint on the brush?
>>47230672
A pic would be helpful. But get used to thinning your paints with a little water. Especially if youre losing details. Also dont use your brush completely loaded with a glob of paint. Wipe some off so the brush comes to a fine point. And be patient as well. Especially starting out
>>47230672
Go to Warhammer TV on youtube and check out the tutorials.
Make sure you are priming your miniatures. With primer. Regular paint is not the same as primer.
You will want to be using a palette and thinning your paints with a little water. Don't use the paint straight from the pot.
Expect for it to take more than one coat to cover your primer. Wait for the first coat to dry before applying the second.
For those of you lads that paint Skitarii.
Guy's tutorial are good,used them to for my orks. I'm jelly of his mastery of the paint straight from the pot, even though he showed how to thin it down while in the pot.
https://youtu.be/PbakwKMpKUw
>>47230461
It might if you bring it really close. You'll only know by trying.
A heat gun is only like 20 bucks though and they are pretty useful.
>>47230667
I've seen that too.
It would be super fun to slice your hand open during a game.

Wrong pic, but not a big deal.
Also, why is my phone turning shit sideways?
>>47230830
>Also, why is my phone turning shit sideways?
Because 4chan doesn't give a shit about the metadata your phone uses to orient it correctly for you.
>>47230830
It's because you take the photo with your phonethe wrong way. Crop your pics even a little, that'll put them back into place when posting.
>>47230830
Are you taking the pics with it upright rather than on it's side?
>>47230672
Take a smallish, shallow plastic sandwich (square) container. Fold a paper towel into a square that fits neatly inside it. Cut a square of parchment paper (available at all grocery stores) to fit directly over that. Pour water over top slowly until it runs down and dampens the paper towel. A little on the parchment is good too. Congratulations you now own the most important tool for your painting career...a wet palette!
Transfer paints from the pots to this palette and thin them down a bit before you use them on your mini. The wet palette will help the paints stay thin and not dry out. When you load your brush use the bare minimum and be sure to drag it across the wet palette for a nice pointy tip.
>>47230854
>>47230863
I know some people are fucking dumb, but don't you think I would've checked that before asking? I think >>47230850 has it right. When I send pics over text or email they come out fine, but whenever I use 4chan theyre always fucking sideways. And gifs don't work at all anymore when posted from my phone.
But this has gotten extremely off topic
>>47230823
I was even going to do some blood for the blood god seeping out of it. I also have carcasses and entrails I'm filling this bitch with. Little red diodes to make it look like stand-by lights when the doors open as well.

LIVING THE DREAM
>>47230952
While I have it right, have you tried
>>47230854
>Crop your pics even a little
with your phone's editing software? Causing the image to be saved again often means the cropped copy is saved in the correct orientation instead of relying on metadata.
>>47230952
Haha you never know.
"Why is my phone turning my pictures" could pretty much be added to that list of /wip/ dumb shit.
tfw u dont have a piece of paper big enough to look like a pro photographer
>>47231063
Exactly.
I always crop my pics in order for them to be small sized and take iut the needless objects in the FOV, so I never have a problem with sideways pics.
I use the standard Android gallery thingy with a Galaxy S4, has plenty of options, works perfectly for the use I have of it.
>>47229710
>>47229767
This is why we can't have nice things.

I live the acid bags and the red maws especially. The nice drybrush is also perfect with the rest imo.

What kind of condiments come in tubes?
First time posting here.
Haven't touched my models in forever but recently started to get into the hobby again.
This was supposed to be a daemon infested sentinel for a Lost&Damned army which I never finished (I think). It's not finished obviously, only base coat on it, it seems.
Sorry for the shitty lighting and the dust.
Quickly brush primed this old geezer I got from an ebay batch to turn him unto the Space Shark I'm meant to paint from the chart.
I don't have his arm though, what could I give him?
>>47231327
Basing is cool, but that model wants stripping and starting again.
See if you can get that GS off, or trim it and re-do, it looks pretty bad as is.

As it's a one-off you're on rule of cool, but stick a bolter or combi-weapon on him for in-game useability, or maybe a lightning claw for that extra Specialist attack.
Sergeants with Power Fist and a bolt pistol are weird.
>>47231311
Mustard, mayo, french fry sauce, tomato paste, for example.

This is weird.
We get tomato and garlic purees in tubes like this, but putting mustard or mayonnaise in them is bizarre.
As for 'french fry sauce'... bloody colonials.
>>47223980
Seconded THISSSS
Astral Claws best Claws in Galaxy bitch, Pay the fookin' Tyrant's DUE bitch!
>>47231327
I don't know if it's just the pic, but it looks like when you did this you didn't know about changing your water when moving from metallics to colours, as there seems to be a distinct sheen to that red that I remember from my early attempts.
>>47229277
Astral Clawsssss GO!
here come dat boi
>>47231527
Green?
Fuck that brew I ain't painting a green Marine. Why do I always have to roll shit?
>>47231504
I think I wanted to go for super rusty look for most of the metal bits.
>>47231404
I'll try to save it somehow with a paintjob. If it's still shit then I'll turn it into terrain or something.
I was really sloppy putting that model together.
>>47231311
They look super 90s when they're flat like that.
>>47231351
>I don't have his arm though, what could I give him?
Keep in mind this is a fairly old model. A Third Edition or later right arm is not going to match his left arm.
>>47231591
>They look super 90s when they're flat like that.
Anon, my whole army *is* super 90's.
>>47231558
>I'll try to save it somehow with a paintjob.
Like, I'm not being intentionally unkind telling you to strip it, but trying to save a model from many years ago by painting over an already thick paintjob is not going to have a happy resolution.
Either stripping it or starting off with new models (infantry are good for practice because even if you don't do a great job on one, at least it's painted and you can come back to it when you've done everything) will give better results and let you learn to paint well.
>>47231537
Pretty fucking good.
When I'm done with my backlog (hahahahI wish) I thinking about converting a giant into a big Bullgryn, with shield, armor and all.
>>47231592
What do you mean it's nor going to match?
I don't really feel like giving him a chainsword to recreate the original, just complete him so that I can paint him.
>>47231601
Haha so they are.
You still playing with the same one from way back or is it an intentional throw back?
I still play with my 06 iron hands army.
>>47231633
>What do you mean it's not going to match?
This model was meant to take the plastic "Strike Force" arms that were ubiquitous throughout Second Edition. They are markedly different from later plastic Space Marine arms.
>I don't really feel like giving him a chainsword to recreate the original, just complete him so that I can paint him.
The original came with the Ultramarine Tactical Squad at the tail end of First Edition. Your choices were Phobos-pattern bolt gun or combat knife. Later, this model was made available in a blister by itself, sometimes with a half a sprue of close combat weapons for variety, other times with a character sprue that had a bolt pistol on it.
>>47231639
>You still playing with the same one from way back or is it an intentional throw back?
Same army since Rogue Trader. I just add new things as they come along.
>>47231907
>I just add new things as they come along.
This is a pretty old picture. In fact, the Third Edition plastic marine on the far right still has the old Second Edition "Strike Force" arms and a Phobos-pattern bolt gun. I guess I could remake it with some of the newer stuff (now with 32mm bases!).
>>47231964
Nice. I've got one of those old metal land speeders I folded into the iron hands when they were made.
That army is mostly 3rd ed stuff though.
I noticed that on some of my models the black Citadel undercoat turns grey-ish at some points (models not yet painted).
If I wipe over it with my finger it reverts to black. But after some time it turns grey-ish again. Also those spots aren't as smooth as the rest.
Anyone know what I'm talking about?
>>47232069
It's not just dust?
>>47229277
Roll
>>47227056
Been painting some homebrew chapter marines as a side project, but I've got a couple left I can spare for something different.
>>47230188
The knife behind the back is such a clever little touch
I am glad others agree!
>>47230261
I'll take that compliment, as originator of it.
As you should! Your previous critiques and suggestions were very helpful and the kris behind the back is what really invigorated me after removing all the elbow arms.
>>47232154
Is that you, Thornberry-marines guy?
>>47232213
>As you should!
It's nice to be appreciated, and to critique something properly instead of screaming THIN YOUR PAINTS at newbies and linking Duncan videos.
I'm almost out of nuln oil and agrax earthshade, and fuck GW prices.
What are the cheaper but better versions?
>>47229555
Haha I like it! I feel the lips should be more "sucky sucky" but they are pretty sultry as is. Make sure to get a high gloss on that lower lip when painted. Maybe even some thick (sexy) drool (lube) dripping out of that juicy mouth.
Those eyes should also be tits. Not eyes. But tits.
>>47232290
Look into the vallejo and tamiya ranges.
>>47232285
Nah, I've never posted about mine. They're pretty much a stolen idea taken from here a while back, for a chapter called the Free Company. I like to think of them as working similar to the Deathwatch, taking Marines as tithes and volunteers, and they work with the Rogue Traders as hired muscle and adjudicators. I have a mid-tone grey color schme for them, with light yellow left kneed pad and backpack vents, dark red lining on the right should pad, and original chapter shoulder pad on the left.
Might see if I can take a decent picture of the prototype I painted up earlier and post it.
>>47232307
Haha that would be very 80s metal.
I call this one "the compensator"
>>47221846
What did you do to get that flesh tone?
My best guess is Rakarth Flesh, thin Purple wash, then some kind of creamy white?
>>47232319
Do Tamiya actually do washes? I use a lot of their acrylics already.
>>47222795
the ones with the white base rims are not finished yet, i'm thinking of doing a hand with an eye on the banner like i did on my von horstmann
>>47230089
thnx anon!
>>47230155
i'm going to put chaos cristals made of cut up sprues on some bases but no,
i use crushed glass snow, so i only paint the top of the base white before it goes on. first a layer of pure pva glue, dip/shake, then water/pva mix, dip shake, then i seal it with a mix with more water en less pva glue, it gives a nice effect.
>>47232290
AP strong tone (agrax), and dark tone (nuln), are great.
Plus eyedroppers built into the bottles is good.
Hey /WIP/, this might sound like a really dumb question but I think I fucked up making my Stormsword in such an insignificant way except significant. I put the Baneblade front on (left) instead of the right one (right) and now it straight up won't fit. Are they close enough that some jigging and cutting might fix it?
I've never really done a shit tonne of conversion before so I'm nervous about breaking something so damn expensive.
>>47231455
huh, I've never even seen anything other than toothpaste and super glue in those tubes
>>47231147
gorgeous, especially the bodies
>>47225393
>>47225559
Alright, taking a small break from GS and the DPoTz.
It's 1kSons basing time!
3 dry brushes, then snow and tundra tufts.
Listening to Dan Carlin's Hardcore History podcasts while hobbying today.
>>47231166
This gif makes me want a cute pet turtle too.
>>47232290
black ink, water, 1 drop of detergent = black wash
burnt sienna paint, water, 1 drop of detergent = brown wash.
>>47232970
shit i meant burnt umber for brown.
burnt sienna gives you a yellowy light brown, for gold and flesh.
>>47232962
It's a tortoise.
Don't get male, they are arseholes when they reach 50 years old.
Mine relentlessly chases people round the garden on summer days and will nip you through your clothes and try to mate your shoes.
>>47233022
>Mine relentlessly chases people round the garden on summer days and will nip you through your clothes and try to mate your shoes.
This is supposed to convince me to NOT get a male?
>>47233022
However if you want a cute pet, get an axolotl. I love him much more as he isn't a rapist.
>>47233056
>he isn't a rapist
Maybe the opportunity has not arisen yet?
>>47232962
reptiles are physically incapable of forming any kind of emotional bond with you
get a cat/dog/bird instead
>>47232962
>cute pet turtle too
>>47233022
>It's a tortoise.
Tortoise? What's that?
>>47232593
They have a few products that are similar (or used to atleast.) Look up tamiya smoke. Can be like magic if you use it well.
Vallejo have stuff called wash lavardo in a bunch of colours.
>>47231455
Ketchup I can see making sense because in bottles it's a bitch to get out, though they do mark the bottles with a tap point marking where to tap to get it to stop sticking.
>>47232839
Well you'll have illegal weapons.
I'd suggest trying to pry it off with your hobby knife. Take it super slow and gently.
I hope you don't use tons of plastic cement.
Posted an earlier shot of my first Necron Scythe in the General yesterday to a bunch of mixed reviews but I did take the advice of "browning that shit up more" since the wings were completely silver before. I think it made it look much better.
Unfortunately the actual Necrons I have painted I thinned the metallics wrong and they look... not so great.
The Necrons are blue (Guillimens glaze over Army Painter Platemail) and I am using Warplock Bronze, Gehenna's Gold and three different steel/silvers. The solid blues are Teclis and Caledor Sky.
Didn't really pay attention to the whole base and layer thing.
This is the biggest model I painted as luckily my friend is letting me paint and play these till I buy them.
>>47233133
Mustard goes in jars.
Ketchup goes in the squeezy bottles.
Mayo in eitherand on my chips, because the Dutch convinced me it was good
'French Fry Sauce' goes... away.
>>47233154
Oh and the Orange is Troll Slayer.
Pic Related was from the general, got a good laugh out of it.
>>47233083
I've just learned that you're not trolling and in the US it is commonplace to refer to all shelled reptiles as "turtles".
In the rest of the world, it is specified that turtles are aquatic and have flippers.
Tortoises are land dwellers that cannot swim and have legs with claws.
They also wear raspberries as hats.
>>47233174
>Mayo in either and on my chips, because the Dutch convinced me it was good
"Y'know what they put on French fries in Holland?"
"What?"
"Mayonnaise."
"God DAMN!"
>>47233196
What backwater part of the US are you from that you've never heard of a tortoise?
>>47233196
It's not flippers vs feet it's more complex. Number of toes and other factors.
There are totally land dwelling legged turles.
