My vallejo primer is weak as fuck and scratches easy, I'm finding it hard to get good coverage with citadel primers outside, too.
CAN I JUST FUCKING PAINT?
>>47405611
I got good experience with The Army Painter Primer. Also doin it outside is waste of paint that gets caught by the wind.
>>47405728
See I'd have no problem with the canned primers but obviously the propellant is toxic so I can't use it inside.
>>47405728
Stop trying to hurt people's brains
>>47405611
Had the same problem. Threw it out and switched to ak interactive airbrush primer. They make a very nice surface to paint and are a bit more durslable. Still a polymer primer though so it is best to let it dry for 24 hours.
>>47405728
>I got high using The Army Painter Primer inside and soon I will die from chronic solvent-induced encephalopathy, to the net benefit of mankind.
>>47405865
See, at first I thought I hadn't let it cure long enough but then I left it over the weekend and it still seemed to not really bond to the plastic very well and really easily scraped off.
>>47405566
Here's a wip collage of my chaos marine Kill Team. The guy with the out stretched hand is a sorcerer.
>>47405966
And my wolves.
Noticed the size was retardedly huge so here's something smaller.
>>47406060
And that turned out to be way huger. My apologies /wip/
/WIP/, this is officially my first mini that I have painted. I don't have a lightbox, so I hope natural sunlight will do. Any advice moving forward?
>>47406101
Fucking, damn it. Here's the pic.
>>47406101
You could start by posting the mini.:^)
>>47406131
>>47406235
As a first mini it's pretty good, especially on the face. I'd suggest cleaning up the highlights on the trousers a bit and doing something with the white armour; it looks a bit thick and bland, maybe do some sort of pattern on the gun/shoulder so you don't just have these big blank patches on the mini.
>>47406101
>>47406131
Looks breddy gud senpai, pretty crisp whites for your first mini. Don't see any mould lines either, which suggests you have lurked sufficiently. Overall, great job, keep it up!
>>47406101
>/WIP/, this is officially my first mini that I have painted.
>>47406131
>[actual picture]
It's a good start, anon. Can't see any moldlines, the face is nice, and the metals look good. My only criticism would be the white... have you considered starting with a darker off-white colour and then only reaching purest white-of-whites with the final highlight? I'm not saying you have to go overboard, like GW did with the Blood Angels Sanguinary Priest (pic related), but it looks more realistic to scale.
Can't believe these 3 niggers took me 12 hours to make... Gonna switch the head on the right one, doesn't feel right
>>47405611
Caught a tip from Bobby Waldron (Gennesis models): cut the Vallejo primer with acrylic floor polish (@ 2:1 primer to polish). Speeds up the dry time a bit and toughens the primer.
>>47406323
I, uh, actually followed this picture for the white considering it gets posted two or three times a day.
>>47404654
Continuing from the last thread, adding some details to Skull Mountain.
Cut plastic barrels in half and them placed them into the "cave" area. I used pliers to hold the barrels while cutting so as to keep my fingers.
I added a lamp attached to the rock above these barrels, and another outside the cave entrance.
A street light was added in the corner with the door.
And finally I have added an emergency subterranean hatch at the basin of the cave under the skull eye sniper nest. This was pilfered from an old MK1 plastic rhino sprue.
Going to add a couple choice fortification walls on the upper level to provide some more cover and then on to sand.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-1-PQRbD28
Needs some TLC, but I'm pretty happy with them considering I've been delirious all week. Technically converted, but it's just a case of using the deathwing command squad heads (and chainfist) for higher detail and a slightly more pleasant shape.
Got to pick up some wildflowers and gobbo green to properly finish the bases off.
>>47406288
I'll definitely hit up the trousers again when I break out the brushes again. Thanks, man. I agree about the shoulders. I don't have any fluff thought up for my dudes yet, but I'll consider throwing a unit insignia or something onto the shoulder.
>>47406296
Lurking helped. Thanks, anon. I just have a fucking mob of these left to paint and base.
What do you think about the scheme?
>>47406338
its more the arm that doesn't feel right.
And these Kharn groupies always look like this. Notice how on the Kharn model his shoulders, arms and hands are oversized (even by heroic standards)?
This is why.
Although the left guy doesn't look so bad. So you are partly correct, the helmet compounds the issue.
So finished my first Necron today and my new Ballistari(i think that what it is called)
>>47406537
you need some propa-highlights to make those colours visible.
Atm it looks like a blob of dark patches and gold trim.
>>47406833
Yeah i forgot to get my highlight colour
>>47407074
you mean your base colour plus increasing amounts of white?
Any of you have a good priced lamp-magnifying glass combo? My eyes are fucking horrible and I keep missing moldlines.
>>47406414
your stuff is always great. Makes me jealous.
>>47406060
>>47405966
I like the wolves, but the metalics on all the models look thick
>>47406131
looks great for a first model, especially the face. White seems a little chalky and thick though.
>>47406537
what look are you going for that necron? Rust? Doesn't look quite right to me.
>>47408080
i posted some stuff here. you like it?
First figure from Warhammer Quest finished. Haven't even primed the rest, gonna be a long project.
>>47406060
THIN
>>47408630
Why is he green and not blue?
>>47405611
Funny, I find their brush primer really fucking good, to the point where stripping it is hard.
>>47408667
The other one will be blue. Didn't want them both to be the same colour.
>>47408615
Looks fucking dirty, and not in a good way.
>>47408507
Yes its rust
Is Airbrushed paint supposed to be coming off so easily from contact while being painted on top of, or did my friend forget to prime these when he did them for me?
>>47408615
You got valid critique and were like 'it's intentional'
The washes were applied poorly and the whites look bad.
>>47405611
Do you clean your models before priming them?
>>47409317
bronzed flesh looks weird without wash, and loads of it.
>>47405196
You want to start off by learning how to make wire frames and making proportional bodies without any details. For sculpting details there's a million youtube videos and books available.
Little things like the chainmail can be made with actual fine mesh chainmail
>>47409394
It looks weird and shit now. Worse.
Built my weirdboss for my new snakebites.
>>47409549
The power of da waaagh turned my photo sideways.
Anyone else that gets covered in paint when using the GW pots? Just opening and closing a pot will cover my hands in paint.
Okay WIP, please help me learn how to airbrush.
Tonight was the first time I held one of those things in my life, here's the results. Primer and base goat of gunmetal.
On some it was perfect and I love it.
>>47409394
Your Whites are terrible.
If they were people, they would be red necks, the worst kind of Whites.
Don't just slather a black wash on them. It's just not good.
I like the scheme though.
>>47409741
But on many more here's what happened.
More often in the priming phase, but also with the normal paint, I had these huge blobs.
>>47409766
Close up of what I mean.
Vallejo's guide did say to use 10-15 psi, and I noticed I was at 20.
Was I spraying too close? Too much? Are 5 Psi really so massive a difference?
>>47409291
Probably the latter. Though if they're clear coated, they still shouldn't be rubbing too badly.
>>47406338
I think they look fine as is, they have a coherent motion to them and I think the arm is a good fit
>>47406397
lookin really cool so far
>>47409802
5 PSI is the different between flat, perfect and bulging tires.
And we're talking 25, 30 and 35psi on a standard car.
>>47409835
Even just picking them up by the helmet for a brief second (crackle paint base was drying) had the blue starting to fade away to reveal grey plastic underneath.
I have a feeling he forgot to prime them and just wanted to get the blue on before he left for his trip. Guess it's time to strip them.
sup /wip/ has anyone used frogtape for masking before? I want to do some intricate masking on my upcoming project and the masking tape I'm using at the moment just won't cut it, it's good but only for doing straight lines really, I have trouble with it adhering to curved surfaces.
Started weathering my Australian fleet for DW- I'm hoping to have these guys done by the Nova Open, but I've been working on them for years. I want them to look really well used, so I'm going pretty heavy on the rust. The lower left ship is a junker I've been using to test painting ideas, and I've circled the rust in light blue- does it look overdone? It's washed out a little in the photo. Circled in purple is my attempt at heat discoloration on the smokestack- comments? The areas circled in red I can't decide if they need more metallics.
>>47409944
Painter's tape is OK, but Tamiya's is the best I've used - well worth the premium. Amazon if you can't get it locally.
>>47409944
You can use poster putty / blu tack for coverage on uneven surfaces, or try the paint-on masks.
>>47409802
>Are 5 Psi really so massive a difference?
Earth's standard atmosphere is around 14.7 psi. Pic related is what 14.7 psi can do.
>>47409802
Could be a few things:
1. Pressure (as mentioned). 20 psi isn't nesssesarily bad, but the rule of thumb is lower pressure and multiple passes.
2. Paint viscosity. I have a hunch this might be part of the problem; if your paint/pressure ratio's wrong, the atomized paint starts to dry mid air. Bad.
3. Distance. Off the cuff, you want to be 6-8" away from target; too close and you can spider, too far and you can orange peel. It totally depends on how light your touch is, though.
Speaking of which; what's your brush/compressor set up?
>>47409911
>>47410212
Point taken, thank you.
>>47410232
I'm using a CRPlus Evolution with the 0.4 nozzle, and a Sparmax TC-610h.
Paint was unthinned, but the vallejo metal color line is supposed to be ready as-is. Next time I'll try diluting it a little.
>>47409394
Look, there's no point you asking for critique because you can't actually take it, nothing is a big deal or your fault.
Unless you can be receptive, don't post your shit.
Post a model where you've actually cleaned the mold lines and where you can't see brushstrokes and pooling in the wash.
Consistently paint the eyes on your marines, you just left some undone.
Do any basing. Just sloppily painting the base brown looks shit, I fucking mourn for that Imperial Space Marine.
>uh it's weathering
No it's a shitty washjob, look up a decent weathering tutorial if you want them to be muddy.
If you can't get the desired look with dwarf flesh, try another paint.
Zandri Dust -> Ushabti Bone -> Screaming Skull instead, for your creamy whites.?
You'll still want to wash it brown, but again, wash it, don't drown it.
Helppppp! I'm trying to make this guy look like an invader from dark souls, but it's going to shit, any advice?
I painted him black, did the red bits by thinning my red paint further and further to try and blend it, but it came out like dogshit. I tired riekland fleshshade to shade it since I know it's redish, and that didnt help anything, so I tried highlighting with more red, and it still looks like a turd. Then to save that I tried nuln oil, and here we are. How can I get this to work? Essentially the red areas are supposed to be from a downward light as far as I can tell from reviewing source materials on invaders, but I cant get a solid clean blended red for whatever reason (probably me).
Forgive the pictures, turns out dark red on black is hard to take a picture of.
>>47410524
I think you've got the right idea, you just need to tune the execution a bit. Maybe a black undercoat and then a maroon base coat, then blend up to red-orange as a highlight.
>>47410524
Doing a black fade on top of red is going to be a lot easier than doing red on top of black.
Brush strokes in the direction of fade, rather than across it, can reduce the obvious lines at the boundaries if you let the strokes go into one another.
If it helps the red you have on the legs actually looks pretty cool.
>>47410033
I don't think you reached that point when rust ruins the model,just ask yourself if you like it like this, i do.
Bloodspatter y/n?
>>47410619
Answer is always no imo,unless it's for a very precise reason or you are trying to do a trashy model it always looks pretty boring and childish. But i would add some of that bronze somewhere and or make boots brown.
I'm trying to paint up a large area of exposed muscle at the moment, i'm just wondering does anyone have any tips/experience with it?
>>47410033
Make the stairs metallic if you want, but on board real ships everything gets paint; exposed metal and water don't mix at all. If you want to pick them out in something, red or gray.
>>47410797
>>47410619
Fucked up the quote
>>47410797
He's always carried games for me so I thought some on his saw would be appropriate.
Judge pic related, I think I'm ok with splatter
>>47410832
>>47410795
Fuck your sneaky ork
>>47410837
It's not about how it is done,it's just boring to me,but if it's just to honour the warboss,it's good i guess. Plus i think some red would look good on him.
>>47410808
It's more a matter of visual interest- I actually work on an old WWII warship, and it drives me a little crazy the way so many gamers feel the need to pick out every gun barrel in gunmetal. I just don't know if that's too much unbroken green in there.
>>47410524
>You should have primed black.
>Then any areas that were going to be red have done a thin layer of dark brown over black
>then build up from brown to red in those areas
Your paint looks really thick, get it to a consistency of milk and apply a layer. It's going to look blotchy and ugly. LET IT DRY 100%
Apply a second milk thin layer, it'll still look blotchy. LET IT DRY 100%
repeat until red.
- this red on my Ork here (which I like to think is nice and flat) was achieved in the same way (but I wanted a full red instead of red to black highlight)
>>47410899
How's this?
Any idea for base and helmet?
Anyone got experience sealing pastels/pigments? They don't look nice after sealing, slightly better when applying medium/varnish through an, but still not nearly as good as without sealing them.
Any tips?
>>47410837
If you intend to do splatter do not do as much as that on your Warboss, that looks like someone put some TNT in a cow next to the truck and let it explode rather than it hitting something.
If you HAVE to do splatter... then less is more.
>>47411198
>implying that blowing up a grox isn't something that the orks would find hilarious
Where can I find miniatures of children? I'm converting rattling snipers.

great escape games has a hitler youth anti tank squad too.

Shit. You wouldn't think that something that simple would make something look that good. Well cheers thanks for the (you).
>>47411157
that is some of the coolest blood effects I've ever seen. That model is legitimately intimidating.
First time painting, did I do good?
>>47411876

>>47412167
how do YOU think you did.
Look at them as if someone else painted them, what would you say?
>>47412100
Closer, more light, greater focus on the camera
Your gold lacks neatness and elegance, and your arms look a little odd, kind of exposed.
At some points seems like your primer is visible, more layers needed
Highlight the armour and gold, it looks kinda flat
Can't see the backpack, but it looks as though you have missed out metallic details
>>47412126
Looks neater, the eyes are nice, although you have smudged. Needs highlighting all over
Please buy a fine detail brush and some basing materials.
I would say you have a fair bit of potential, but you need to stop being so lazy. There is evidence here of steady brushwork that is sadly ruined by carelessness.
>>47412206
I think I'm on the right track but I need improvement.
>>47412231
Cheers, I'll put these tips to good use.
>>47412100
>>47412126
Looks like you need a smaller brush or better brush control. Prop your wrist against the table if you have trouble with shaking. Also, don't be afraid to go back and clean up areas that you've spilled paint onto places you don't want, like the shoulder pads and around the eyes.
>>47412289
Yeah brush control is one of my main issues. Cheers man.
>>47411643
Let's see what I get
Anyone here with experience in sculpting? I'm looking to try my hand at making a few Scandinavian warriors (vendel period). Anyone got any techniques for doing chainmail good? This is my first time.
>>47411176
I've heard hairspray can work
6 months later and I finally finished assembling my BaC box
Painted squad is ~90% done, need to do finish eyes, highlights, clean up, and transfers
Ended up going with Forgeworld's BaC Alpha Legion scheme as I wanted something turqouise, wasn't fond of the metallic blue look
>>47413155
>that right handed bolter
Where is it from, brother? I'm in dire need of one.
>>47413155
The hell is that guy on the far right doing ?
>>47413427
Its a cut-up bolter + handle from a power sword or knife I can't remember which.
I found one in my bits box with a bird head pommel and used it.
Worked out perfectly with a little greenstuff
>>47411360
Awesome, thanks.
>>47412120
I'll check them out, thanks.
And, no, I've had a Guard army on the back burner forever and wanted to make them look grizzled and desperate. Was going to attach an allied Alpha Legion squad or two pulling the strings.
>>47413663
He is going to have sniper rifle in his hand, I am not attaching it until it is painted.

>>47406131
thank you for actually trying, instead of posting "hurr here my first model [blurry mess of shitty paint that gets posted upside down 4 times because of phones or something]"
this looks good/okay, definitely good for a first model
how do I apply wash to space marines
do I just paint it all over the armour or dip it in or something?
>>47413930
paint it into the recesses on the model

>>47411157
blood looks good, but the rest of the model could use some cleanup like his boot, parts of the gun, and around the skull. I still like it though, very aggressive.
>>47412167
Much better than my first time stuff, though you've made some of the same mistakes I did at first too. First of all focus on getting good clean layers on each part. For instance don't let any black or silver to show up on the blues, unless it's nuln oil in the crevasses. Keep the colors seperated and the layers solid. These guy's guides really helped me when I was new you should check them out. Here's the one for ultramarines.

need close ups
just started working on my doppleganger, I think it's coming along ok. Still unsure how to do exposed muscle though
>>47406397
>>47409896
>lookin really cool so far
Thank you! I am have a *lot* of fun making this piece!
Here are some current progress shots.
I've added some fortification wall segments along the top where cover was more sparse.
I also added mount points on either side of these walls for 2 Havoc Launchers.
I added a storm bolter at the back door entrance,
Cut out 3 control pad/panels from a wall piece. 2 were cut right down and added to the pillars that supported the Havoc Launchers. The idea here is that the HLs are controlled by these pads! The larger panel was attached to a rock with pipes added going into the ground. The idea here is that is can remotely unlock the bottom door, as well as control the storm bolter there.
I added some smoke launchers into the rock face.
I made a portable escape hatch exit point complete with above ground sensors and smoke launchers to obscure ones exit.
>>47414281
paint one muscle strand at a time and continually highlight up the centre of each strand.
How is Lahmian Medium as a thinner? Should I grab a pot or should I try to find some Vallejo Air thinner at my LGS first?
>>47414281
>Still unsure how to do exposed muscle though

Try injuring yourself - say, biting your hand - when your mind is focused on a clear, simple goal.

Did they ever explain what those fucking things were or what was in the basement?
>>47414293
that's doin' terrain right, it's like stumbling upon an outpost in fallout, it's got it's own narrative going on
>>47415353
>Did they ever explain what those fucking things were or what was in the basement?
Picture to keep this WIP-relevant and help answer >>47414281's questions.Been paying attention to the subterfuge and "who's the *real* enemy" talk in the anime?
The royal family, to which Christa Lenz (her real name is Historia Reiss - she's the *real* king's illegitimate daughter) belongs, has been pulling the strings since before the three walls were built. Someone of royal blood can, with the correct titan-shifting ability, alter human memory en masse. They do this to control Humanity at large and stay in power. And who would want to go outside the walls? Hell, there are titans out there!
Eren's father figured this out and stole the power, then changed Eren into a titan-shifter. Eren then ate his father (which is why he is missing for the entire series), inheriting this ability. Eren is not of royal blood, so his use of his abilities are limited, but it is important that he, and not the royal family, have them.
If you've watched the entire anime, you know that Annie is the female titan. Ever notice that even in background shots, she is often seen in the company of Reiner and Bertoldt? That's because they are also titan-shifters (the Armoured and Colossal titans, respectively). If you read ahead in the manga, they confess to Eren almost immediately after the end of the TV show's run. They also kidnap him.
I've read all the way through episode 72 of the manga, and have yet to find out what's in Eren's basement, but Historia becomes the rightful queen after the military stages a coup.
>>47406338
I think the head looks fine if you paint the emboss gold like the symbol of Khorne, however the arm looks a little thin, maybe try putting a shoulder pad on to balance the model out.
Otherwise I love these, I remember the one you posted a week ago, very nooice.
>>47415900
Model looks cool.
And there is still only one season, right?
>>47415964
>And there is still only one season, right?
Yes. You can read ahead in the manga, though - there's at least another season's worth in there - plus there are two live-action movies where the details are quite a bit ... *different*.
The same ladz wut wuz involved in Attack on Titan are currently releasing Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress (pic related) both in Japan and the US simultaneously. It's a cross between AoT and the Walking Dead, but with trains! Not sure if Kabaneri will delay or derail (Hah! Train pun!) a possible second season of Attack on Titan.
>New technical paintts
>Three of them for putting on metallics to make gemstones
Neat.
>Looking over crackle paint bases
>Four of them crackled properly
>Fifth one has a big fat blob that hasn't cracked yet
That's odd, I put the same amount on all 5. Should I try running them under a hair dryer or just wait?
Testing out some color schemes I want for a future army tbd. Also, fun with blending!
>>47414689
Its ok. I've tried both but have since given up and reverted back to water. I find Vallejo makes my paints gum up
>>47416592
Hm, I'm having poor luck with water. Either I need to get a dropper and I'm putting way too much, or my town's tap water is worse than I thought.

Just about done with it, need to clean up the wings and do highlights
Dark Angel and Death Guard are just about done (other than basing)
my counts-as Vindicare needs a big cleanup, and highlights.

The Infinity model makes the GW ones look terrible, all are very nicely painted though.
>>47411643
Don't have marines but I wanna see.
>>47416986
What is shopped?
>>47417698
look closer at the space marine's bolter on the top image
>>47417710
I'm... I'm not seeing it.
I don't have my glasses, can you explain?
>>47417728
they instead took another picture at a slightly different angle, threw the pic in photoshop and messed with the picture's levels
>>47417710
>>47417767
That's more a problem of all GW's painting guides. They are never properly white balanced, which is why the colors and lightness can look randomly different in something that is supposed to be a step by step tutorial.
If you squint you can see the line highlight on the right side of the pic you just posted. You can't see it on the left.
Now this is more likely due to shitty photo editing than not painting what's in the tutorial.
>>47417767
No? You can see where they highlighted with white scar in the second image.
>>47417292
that deathguard is awesome. Especially the melted face, sword, and the scratches/holes in the armour.
>>47417515
Yeah Corvus Belli has been putting out better Infantry models than GW/FW for the past year or two.
>>47417292
Deathguard looks good. Not a fan of the fat highlights on the dark angel though.
>>47409549
Looks like he's into autoerotic asphyxiation.
I cant paint white for shit. I think Ill make the tabards very dark grey with gold trim, like how they are on the phoenix termies
>>47410795
Could look alright.
Whatever you do though, do NOT do the flicking red at the model thing. Always looks shitty.
Be a bit thoughtful about where the blood on a spinning saw would land and pool. Then have it run down flrom there and drip away.
The outside area should look a little brown and crusty with the center looking red and fresh.
Tonights menu is the same as the previous two.

I use that same type of plastic brush when I'm gluing magnets to models (because not metal and still good to push the magnet in) and to spread flock around when basing. Good, cheap, trash brushes.
Can anyone identify what this thing is? I bought it on ebay from a seller that sells 40k stuff almost exclusively, and it was titled "Ork Device Objective Marker."
I bought it with the intent of using it as a stand-in for a Void Shield Generator (and still will in casual games with my friends), but I'm starting to doubt if this thing is even from Games Workshop. It's plastic and on a 1999 50mm GW base, but that's not very telling.
>>47419481
it's made up of parts from a chemical plant terrain set
not GW, I can't remember the company name right now

Say no more.
Thanks, broseph. Funny enough, I know my Pegasus terrain sets, but I guess this specific design made it slip right over my mind.
>>47419521
I can't say I'm a fan of the style, only remember it because of the banding on the pipes.
>>47419540
Yeah, Pegasus can be pretty hit or miss. The only reason I'm familiar with them is because I had bought their old (the square not hex) platformer set for a diorama I was making a year or two ago.
>>47415900

Advice on unpainting?
I got the "Battle of Maccrage" starter kit from my local library for $5, all the pieces are there, but half the space marines are put together (not glued) and have a terrible paint job on them, I want to find a way to undo their paint job so I can paint them to join my army.
>>47420314
get some super clean from walmart if you are in the US. Also why did your local library have warhammers?
>>47420314
99% isopropyl rubbing alcohol, that stuff strips so well that a cotton swab with some on it will remove paint if you rub it. soaking also has no effect on plastic or forge world resin, I tried for 2 straight days and nothing happened to the plastic, but the paint seems to dissolve
>>47420348
Someone donated them to the library, so they sold them in their little shop they have at the front of the library.
Also got a impereal guard chimera, box was opened, but was untouched, for $2
So, I'm new to painting, can I just use a cheap acrylic paint from a hobby supply store? Or is there a real difference in quality of higher cost paints?
>>47406537
>finished
>cant paint within the lines
>>47420314
This is me>>47419397
Using dettol disinfectant at the moment. It's fantastic stuff the paint just slughs off after a few hours soaking.
>>47416796
wash? wash.
>>47420365
Nonononono. forge world resin is destroyed by alcohol. Dont listen to this heretic.
>>47420774
i left it soaking for 48+ hours with zero problems, but if you say otherwise, so be it
Just finished painting up the core of my Black Mask crew for BMG. Black Mask himself was fun to paint, the black and white are basically the same 4 paints.
>>47420774
>>47420805
As always test a sprue piece of your material for a few days first.
Resin is a broad term.
>>47420887
>>47420887
>>47420805
yes.
I put a few pieces of an alpha legion contemptor in alcohol overnight. It turned into hard jello, i could dig into it with my nail and the details are gone. Be careful
>>47416796
>>47420727
Just like your grey knights. Looks like shit.
>>47416796
You really need to highlight and wash. Yes, your base-coats are neat and smooth, but just a base-coat is boring!
>>47420502
Googling will get a more complete answer,but basically it doesn't thin well enough,but it's ok for bases
>>47421183
I mean painting bases,not basecoating

I'll try. I honestly don't like the overly highlighted look though, but I think I could use some highlights and washes in a few spots better.
Some questions:
What's a good highlight for mephiston red? I'm currently using evil sun scarlet and bloodletter glaze, but as the comments have said it doesn't seem to show up well enough. Also what is the last highlight in pic related for the gold on the sword? Is it just scar white? or something else?
>>47421051
I never claimed to be a good painter.
>>47421051
Christ mate atleast he's posting and having fun and not being a total ass.
>>47421506
I've always just used Evil Sunz and got a fairly nice result without being garish. How are you applying the glaze?
It might also be worth looking at an extreme highlight with a very slightly brighter orange.
>>47421506
>I'm currently using evil sun scarlet and bloodletter glaze, but as the comments have said it doesn't seem to show up well enough.
Try using orange or mix in some yellow.
>Also what is the last highlight in pic related for the gold on the sword? Is it just scar white? or something else?
Usually GW's brightest silver. Used to be mithril silver when these dudes were released. Use the current equivalent.
Seeking pose feedback again, got some primerb/c my vision is shit and I can;t see details on the beigeand took better pictures.
I tried to get the head facing left
>>47402352
>>47404534
>>47404660
>>47421663
>>47421605
well part of the problem is my highlights get masked by the bright overhead lamp I turn on to take pictures. I usually apply the glaze 2 parts glaze 1 part medium. It doesn't seem to do much though. Maybe I'll try another coat or get some orange to mix in with the scarlet.
>>47421617
thanks for the answer
>>47408630
Instead of dropping Dr Seuss memes I'll say it's looks fucking awesome
>>47421663
It looks nice and natural
>>47421663
looks ok, I think it'd look better with him stepping down off the rock (right foot on the ground) or stepping up onto it. But i dont know if the joints bend on that model and it could look weird if the rock is too tall
>>47421506
>What's a good highlight for mephiston red? I'm currently using evil sun scarlet and bloodletter glaze, but as the comments have said it doesn't seem to show up well enough.
That's funny... you'd think of all people that a Blood Angels player would know the answer to this, but then again, I actually *start* with Evil Sunz scarlet and go up from there. I prefer the bright 2nd Edition Blood Angels red to the grimmer darkness of the more recent stuff.
How about Wild Rider Red or even going up to Troll Slayer Orange?
>>47421734
Was trying to make it look like it was touching down softly on it.
>>47421717
Just concerned with it since it'll be the centerpiece for my kill team and I want it to look nice.
>>47421771
>Was trying to make it look like it was touching down softly on it.
That's the impression I got from it myself. It was like the guy's coming down to the ground and is about to bring the guns around to shoot in the direction he's looking.
Honestly I wouldn't worry too much about it. Anything that isn't a horrible pose isn't going to affect what people think of it on a tabletop level.
>>47421756
Yeah I might try some orange or a mix of orange and evil sun scarlet as a tertiary highlight. Thanks blood angels guy.
Hi WIP, I'm sculpting my first model from scratch - have only done conversions up to this point. How do you all secure your armatures while sculpting on them?
Picture is basically the last thing I did any sculpting on (2014)
>>47417292
Very well done on the Death Guard, truly a fantastic miniature.
The scar work in particular is just superb. Make more and post them!
1 downalmost, the base need a second coat of glue and some paintand some 15 to go. My poor ass is hurting even when I'm not painting. Should probably take a small break form all this...:)
I'm currently assembling a ton of high elves sitting in my shelves... there's still a lot of work...

Sort of reminds me of the Speed Racer pose with the arms in a different position.
>>47422648
>what's your gold recipe?
Auric Armour Gold painted on a red basecoat, highlighted with a Vallejo equivalent of Runefang Steel and a layer of Seraphim Sepia.
>what's your red recipe?
The Jugger has a basecoat of Mephiston Red on gray primer, Nuln Oil carefully applied into angels/cracks and highlighted with Evil Sunz Scarlet.
The Rider done pretty much the same but with a Evil Sunz Scarlet basecoat and Wild Rider Red highlights. Basecoats were done with an airbrush.
The whole painting process was/is VERY simple, only thing it really requires is decent brush control
>>47422250
really nice colours
anyone know off the top of their head where I can find one (or eight) of these Robogear T-Rexes? Ebay and Amazon have failed and I can't seem to find them anywhere else.

404 for me
>>47423601
thank you, at least i know it's not my problem only
I bought a lot of spess muhreens off of ebay and just got them today. They're used, but I found they're all assembled via hot glue gun. Some of it is easy to clean off but most of it won't come off. I read isopropyl alcohol will help remove the glue. Should I dunk the marines in the alcohol and then clean them off?
>>47411643
Dusk Raiders are pre-Mortarion Death Guard, why are they here?
I'm converting the Morghast Archai/Harbingers into a couple of Nurgle daemon princes. While I will be sculpting flesh and icky stuff to cover some of the bones/skulls so they not so blatantly undead things, I'm not confident in my ability to sculpt a head from scratch. So I'm looking for any good heads, from any range, that might be a good fit.
Suggestions? Or even just favorite third party bits shops?
>>47406131
nice scheme, what color did you prime it?
>>47417199
as long as it's a mini, it belongs in the thread, but I've never seen an x-wing look like that.
I cannot come up with a color scheme for my Mawkrusha. Not feeling green, red or white per the pictures. As a fan of monster hunter I was thinking about making it look like a Tigrex. But I don't want to come up with a boring brown dragon or screw up some sort of pattern on the scales. Any ideas?
>>47417292
Sam Fisher/10. In a good way. Well done.
>>47424266
it feels either alpha legion colours or blue and violet, but i understand one is a pretty boring combination and the other is a bit extreme
>>47418560
Start off with a broken white like zhandri dust, then bone, then white highlights
>>47420032
>"dont dunk your model in wash" Duncan dunks the model in wash

>>47423563
If you're in the Upper Midwest, yeah, it's way too humid.

if humidity is an issue, wait until around dusk.
>>47423563
you want 50% or less.
Heres my hawkshroud knight so far. How am I doing? Im also looking to try a stripe pattern on the chainsword, what's the best way to go about it?
>>47425943
Less Imperial and more Ork id say
>>47425943
Looks good, although the yellow looks pretty thick in places. For the stripes, masking tape is crucial.
Hi anons. What's the thing that sticks to the miniature's feet and the thing under it called?
>>47426064
I don't know what brands you have in your country but usually it's a type of crafting/poster tac and the thing it's stuck to might be a soda lid or an empty paint pot.
>>47426064

I did my best, but the yellow IS really thick in places. It looked beautiful with base paint colors but I had a hell of a time getting smooth even color with my layers. Yeah I wasn't sure what tape. Masking, then thanks.
>>47425955
Stripe pattern you mean?
