More work on the Bolter. Most gaps are filled. Just need to let it dry, spray it down, and refill screwed up places.
Picked up my first box of Vanguard Vets, about to assemble them, but I can't decide on the gear to give them. Yes, I'll buy another box, but if I have to use the 5 man squad before I can make it a 10 man squad, what should I do?
>>47723796
Not going to go back and fix the fore grip?
>>47722656
Y-your nob is s-so big!~~
And it looks good but maybe a bit too focused on the upper body. I'd flesh out the legs a bit, maybe try to make him just a slight bit taller if you're courageous enough.
"Who goes there?"
Frostgrave soldier. First attempt at OSL. I think I went too subtle - more extreme next time.
>>47723866
Damn things a bitch. I tried 3 times, but with tools I have it's just not getting noticeably better.
>>47724054
Can you post a shot against a white background?
>>47724054
I actually really like it. That's the perfect amount of lighting in my opinion. Most people go too overboard with their airbrushes and make something that looks unnatural, but yours is just the right amount of subtlety
>>47724101
Sure thing. I actually took one first, but it didn't look as cool.
>>47724156
awesome lighting effect, nicely done
>>47723796
Nice. What did you make the main body and Aquila out of? Cardboard? Or foam?
Recommendations on what colors to pick up for doing leather pouches and belts?
>>47724379
Light brown as in the frostgrave mini posted just above is the classic leather people tend to go with.
Any shade of brown works though depending on the rest of your colour scheme.
>>47724156
>>47724156
It's subtle and nice. It's atmospheric, but it should be just a touch stronger.
>>47724322
Layers of cardboard for weight, then covered in EVA foam because I wanted to learn to use it. If I ever make another I'd go back to just cardboard. The colored parts are craft foam
>>47724429
Ah I should have specified but I was looking for specific colors. Mainly just for base and highlight. I have a pretty varied collection of paints but nothing I have seems to work together well for leather.
I really enjoy the citadel scorched earth but have nothing that works as a highlight.
Hi /wip/, didn't get to paint the big guy today, but reposed the Contemptor from the Calth box. Added a few chains too to make it a bit more gladiatorial. Finished some volkite marines too.
Feedback always appreciated.
>>47724609
Shit lighting on the Volkite boys which is a shame because they look to be great
Also, when it comes to blood, alot of the time less is more
And furthermore i like that you don't saturate every milimeter with battle damage because it's getting a little FUCKING old by now, you could use this to your advantage as an artist by having one champion look more wartorn and experienced by giving him battle damage
Contemptors pose is a little stale
>>47724662
Thanks for the reply. It's getting dark where I live unfortunately, so difficult to take a decent pic.
I can't fucking stand models that are over-weathered, so I don't really do much on that front. The big guy from the other day is probably going to be covered in scars/gore etc. however.
Do you mean the blood on the bases is too much?
I'm not good enough with my tools to have changed much about the dread, but I had to do something. Blame it on GW for making such a static, pigeon-toed model.
What should I add to my custom demolisher turret?
I was thinking I would add 1or2 top hatches, a door on the backside, a spotlight, maybe a storm bolter, a ladder on one side, and an antenna on a side.
Is this too much or is there anything you would add?
>>47724770
Also I am going to make a plate to cover the gaps in the front plate around the gun
Finished some kobolds for Super Dungeon Explore.
>>47724811
Bah, forgot to add image.
>>47724811
And whole family together.
>>47724572
If you've got Vallejo Game Colour paints I can help, no idea with the current Citadel ones though I'm afraid.
>>47724843
those little wizard guys, are pretty nice. can we get a close up of those
Does anyone know a good guide for painting carcharodons?
>>47724869
I gave them some extra attention (bright cape, tried to do OSL) since there's only two of them in box, rest was just 3 colours, wash and highlight.
>>47724770
I feel it is way too tall and long at the top back
>>47724054
>>47724156
Smooth af. 9/10. Post more. Those frostgrave soldiers are so full of character
>>47724959
You need to pull a stick out your arse.
There are different kinds of greys, and for those who like to do more than just put a base coat down, you need several different colors to get the combined result of a completed paintjob.
Just tried out that new Fulgrite Copper. i've got to give them props, it's a gorgeous colour.
>>47725035
That's what I'm looking for. At the moment I'm having to rely on Tyburos the Red Wake's colour scheme but I'd rather have a solid paint scheme to work with, then I can fiddle about with it.
>>47725191

>>47725191
Nigga what are you doing?
>>47725191
You know that's not the same guy right?
>>47724974
Fair enough, I was going for a kv2 looking turret, I could try and shorten it.
>>47725191
I said to remove the stick, not to put it in deeper.
Anon does not know what the grays he needs are. That's the point of painting guides, so you can have a consistent paintjob within your army instead of having a hodgepodge of paintjobs.

So... While you guys are arguing about whateverthefuck you're arguing about, I'm just gonna sneak in a progress pic on my plaguebearers.
Can't wait to get home and finish Ol' Flyhead.
Every 1 of 2 wip threads there is some shitstorm about some unimportant thing.
Anyway, wip of my gabriel seth for my imperial fist army. Need to finish the head and do some weathering. Didnt do anything on the flesh tearers symbols because my green stuff skills suck.
>>47726130
And the back. Would you mind if an oponent fields this man as a captain of the imperial fist army?
Another shot, this time a wider shot of the unit. You can see the progress I made in choosing a color scheme, with my original idea being to do use actual fleshtones, then I decided to try a more plain, traditional Nurgle paint schememostly because it was zero effortbut it looked too generic so I cut that experiment short and decided to try a black and white scheme. The black and white was nearly what I wanted, but I liked the pale-white flesh look the most, so I decided to go all out on bright colors.
You can also see my experiments with basing, and an unfinished Nurgle objective marker.
>>47726227
>>47726127
I like the pale flesh and the pink a lot, not sure about the green though. They look a bit like decorative lights.
Alright guys, I have the proper amount of primer now, and I'm taking extra patience with these paint layers. It's going to not be shit this time. For reals. Maybe
Gotta ask for advice on how to paint a face though
Gave up painting all 20 in one go since the layers were taking forever
Went full-blown OCD and scraped two skulls of tactical helmets and put them on helmets that had laurels.
>Anon, why don't you have a finished army?
Because I'm an undiagnosed autist.
>It didn't even come out right.reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
>>47726310
I find when I'm assembly line painting I get slower and slower as I get to the last couple of models in each cycle.
Right now I'm replying to this when I should be painting.

>>47725431
thanks for helping to clean up some of the shit in /wip/
>>47726310
They almost look like they are glowing. Like it.
I like getting boxes that contain kickstarter shit, but Mercs: recon has single-handedly increased my backlog to 200+ models. Gonna take years to work through all of these.
>>47726409
This one time I managed to painted 50 minis in a month.
Never painted that much before or after again.
The thing is you have to make it a habit and do it every day for an hour or two.
>>47726164
>>47726130
You really, really should have replaced the flesh tearers icons
>>47726227
I really like the variety you've got going. It looks far better to have them complimenting each other with harmonious colors than to have them all the same
>>47724758
Thanks for the reply...?
Well the bases generally seem to lack a thought. If it's covered in blood and wet mud and razorwire and this and that it looks to be intense and menacing, if it's clean it looks to be cold and mysterious, but when it's just kind of a base with some detail smacked on it it looks a bit directionless.
When i make my bases, i first think of what poses the models are gonna be in and consider the direction of their attention and such if adding bits to the base, but generally i also have an idea of the scene they're on (lads investigating an ice planet that suddently went /cold/) and therefore what would seem applicable and realistic to that scene (frozen-pale man with some blood on him covered in snow for example)
And i lament the plastic Contemptors molded pose, but you have the ability to turn it into something greater. Slap some chains or banners on his torso in a side-wind, leaning to the left, to show motion in the Contemptor as if he was turning quickly and the details are still turning according to the momentum.
>>47726227
May i ask you the tecipe for that offwhite skin?
>>47726519
>recipe
>>47726311
Atleast you're in good company.
>>47726519
It's easy. Nurgling green base, I actually used Army Painter's "Necrotic Flesh" colored primer but it's basically the same if a little more pale, then drybrush Pallid Wych Flesh or Uluthan Grey, depending on how bright you want the color, wash brown or black, drybrush again.
>>47726622
Thank you i love it.
>>47726311
You are better off trying to sculpt the skulls out of green stuff, trying to graft on the little details like that tends to destroy them.
>>47726311
Next time just make a press mold for replicating the skulls in greenstuff.
>>47726311
Tried to sculpt them with greenstuff. They're a little large and Orky but it's an improvement.
>>47725191
I know you are trolling, but that doesn't change the fact that I want to cause you pain.
>>47726276
Watch Duncan
His short imperial guard videos give you two quick, 3-stage (plus wash) methods, basically the fast one uses agrax (brown) over the entire figure including skin to finish rank and file faster, alternative is reikland fleshshade for skin other washes for other areas
Not a huge difference, the fleshshade maybe looks marginally better
>>47727198
Does he have a video for eyes? Because I am really struggling with putting little pin pricks of black where I want eyes, to the point of considering just using an ultra fine tip sharpie
>>47725191
Wew lad
>>47727233
Saint Duncan says to never do eyes. Too small and unnecessary at that level of detail.
>>47725388
>I'll continue this all day if you faggots want to oblige
Please do, your autistic rage is amusing
>>47726268
I agree, maybe a purple/fleshshade wash around the pustules to make them look "sore" would also make the transition from pasty flesh to bright green less stark and clean. Could also try putting a little of the puss effect stuff you used on the bases onto the pustules as well to dull them a bit
>>47727233
I usually just make a call on a figure by figure basis whether to try doing eyes or just put a bit of agrax in them. If it's a rank and file figure and/or his eyes are fairly squinty (cadians and most spess muhreenz fit in this category), I just do agrax. If it's a character or eyes are wide/rounded so it wouldn't look as good just washed, then the best way is paint the whole thing black or very dark Grey or brown, and put two dots of white or off white in either corner — if you're good enough to pull it off, if not I'd say just leave the eyes shaded even on characters unless they look big enough to be easy
Painting an eye white and then painting the pupil on is guaranteed googly eyes, which are worse than not doing the eyes at all
>>47727378
I was trying to do just cadian flesh plus agrax for the face, and then a prick of black for the eye
But however I tried to apply it, the paint shot out from a nice neat sphere on my brush to a messy spider on the face.

What color are you using for the black highlights?
>>47727615

I like the weathering and scrapes on their armor.

If its a KV2 use ladders then, most KV2s had them on both sides. Also, remember to put the ball-turret embedded in the back with a heavy stubber for extra realism!
>>47727615
That's some of the best weathering effect I've ever seen. Great scheme and talent man, keep it up.

My first Charcodon. I took greyanon's advice, and since there's a single, all-encompassing grey, figures what's the point of painting grey on grey. This is going to be my quickest army ever!
Hey /wip/ I want to help out my painter friend, but I'm not sure what to do. If you were painting figures for a friend, some that you bought together etc, what would you like as assistance, like materials or whatever. His birthday is coming up so I was trying to think of something.
>>47729441
Your brush technique is shit anon
Basecoats are on, I'll let them dry overnight and it's washes and shades tomorrow.

What colors are good for giving a white cloak some texture?
>>47730053
Ok then(seriously though do you know the difference between thinning and stripping?you know acetone melts plastic like jet fuel on steel?)
I've never painted a single thing in my life. What do I do next?
>>47730289
Highlights or texture? To highlight and shade white you should start from a lught grey like ulthuan grey, pure white can't,for obvious reasons, be highlighted.
>>47730298
Paint the claws
>>47730322
So what you're saying is I already failed.
>>47730291
(Of course I do, who'd even thin water-based acrylics with a solvent? I've just got a nasty shitposting addiction)
>>47730350
Thank you,i actually thought you were going to
>>47730346
I think you failed before being born too retarded to think at something before beginning
>>47730298
Aww, it's cute!
Agreed with >>47730346 on the claws, and after that put down another layer or two on the red and yellow bits.
>>47730298
The eyes look like they could use a couple more coats, you can still see a lot of the green though them.
>>47730298
highlight the green blob and thin your paints
>>47730386
So I think I did a coat too thin and it left pools (not sure if this is the right term) in some places. Like it is much darker that strokes.
Will these disappear with more coats or did I fuck up.

If it's already white just shade down from there, or "start over" by slapping on a suitable grey all over and go from there.

i like alpha legion and have a perosnal hate for metallics and dark paints. I found this video to have an interesting scheme and was thinking of making some brighter version of it using sotek green as a base and highlighting into moot green for some flashy greener effect. Now i need an advice for the trims which i want to be a bright colour as well,do you think a creamish colour like vallejo's bonewhite would work for contrast on the trim? i checked colour theory and the contrast colour would be orange, but i think i have enough contrast already with the moot green highlight, so i thought to tone it down to cream. Any ideas or opinions?

Yes, i fucked up the agrax, going to try and fix that when it finishes drying.
I have begun contemplation on whether to just call it on this model.
>>47730710
yeah, i would just strip and restart, also isn't agrax too strong on white?(why is his hammer so bended?)
>>47730738

Anyone care to share a difficult WiP?
Having a hard time as a noob painting White Scars (trying it on a Rhino first) scheme of White with a bit of red and some yellow for the bolts.
I thought I could just wash my white primer and it would make it easy but it looked bad and is now being stripped.
Originally I wanted to do the Griffon Lord successor but my friend that that it may be difficult because of the greenish tan.
I don't have a big army now but I am adamant about having at least 500pts of models painted before I start playing. Which sucks because I already have the itch to get more models the more I learn.
>>47730496
I am sorry, i love you too /wip/ bro

>>47730790
Looking good anon, not the flashiest or most complex but it's still got an endearing charm to it while being functional and not completely overcrowded, when are we playing?
How about now you guys?
>>47730902
I am not sure what the problem really is so i am throwing some generic advice
Never trust your washes
Put as little wash as possible on your brush so it won't lose control completely
Don't expect your wash to look finished, adjust it back to your original colour and or highlights
If you throw shades on flat surfaces it will tend to make some stains, to avoid this do the above and don't tough the parts you already went on, if you realize you fucked up and don't correct fast enough you end up making it worse, consider just wiping the shade away and retry
When washing crevices you are supposed to go back over the crevices where the wash is pooling to make it more even if you pverloaded the brush
(Also if you are doing all over washes consider using glazes which are more suited for the job and easier to apply)
I hope something here helps.

So, the thing is, at my skill level there would be no appreciable difference in quality.
[Simple green? Was crap at removing the primer]
>>47730903
This is my fifth mini. Its not so much to ask for some slack. I'm trying. Thats the best I can do right now.
>>47731137
I am at my seventh mini,but i read like three four painting guides before beginning.
As for the stripping, just making a proper grey basecoat will give you a bog boost and you need to keep trying to get better right? About the stripping it really depends on what you primed with and often you don't need to get all the primer off,just make it thin enough to paint over it. Also since you talked about the mini's quality and price, if it is a resin mini,just let it rest in hot water and gently bend into position that hammer.
>>47726831
Easy and cheap way: use a bit of greenstuff, lubricate it with water or saliva. Press it against the skull you want to replicate, then peel it off carefully. When dry, repeat this process, only this time you lubricate the mould you made and press some fresh greenstuff in the skullmould. Cut it of when dry. Good luck
>>47731248
Why strip though. Let's pretend $2.50 is actually cheap (I think it's cheap, it's literally like 10 minutes of my time). I'm sitting here trying to build a collection for D&D, I'd rather just buy more and paint them. If nothing else, I can look back at the originals and go "If nothing else, at least I've gotten better"
Hence why I posted this exact model yesterday with a worse paint job. I got two of these fuckers sitting next to each other.
>>47730902
>Anyone care to share a difficult WiP?
My current hell is in very early stages of WiPbut that won't stop people from sperging about this picture.
>>47731352
Well it's your choice, i prefer to strip which is cheaper and faster(for me,since i buy onlibe usually) than buying another one. But having your histiry is good too.
>>47724843
These remind me of 16bit jrpg monsters.

Its a cool concept if you can hide your brush strokes.
>>47731352
I support stripping, but I'm too lazy to do it. I have more money than time so I just buy whole new miniatures instead of stripping. Even expensive ones that cost $10-20+ per figure.

I have forgotten i had minis in tubs of this stuff to the point it all evoprated and the minis were not hurt at all.
sometimes it can take some work to get paint of plastics but never had an issue with metals.
have never ever had a mini get harmed by this stuff either.
I would advise keeping an old milk jug that has been washed out to poor the used stuff into. and then reuse it as much as you can to get the most paint stripping for your supper clean buck.
What do I use to highlight a rhinox hide basecoat?
>>47732036
FYI, ziploc baggies work better than open cups / jugs. Having the liquid open to the air robs it of a lot of its potency.
>>47726127
They're looking great, man. Maybe add a bit of a puss color to highlight the green on the boils, but no real complaints otherwise.

I painted this same model and gave it a white cloak. Used agrax earthshade to give it a weathered look.
>>47732107
Well i picked up some crappy food storage tubs i keep in my garage for shit.
I put minis in, then super clean then put the lid on.

Just finished painting this mini: a re-purposed Harlequin Solitaire figure that is going to serve as my D&D group's Tiefling character.

Anyone ever built a soul grinder and left the legs loosely in the socket? I'm trying to do so, but am having troubles getting the legs to stay in the sockets when the model is put together. What can I do to make this work?
>>47732809
I think magnets or drilling a hole in one part and gluing a peg to the other is the only way to make them stick without glue.

Got some Kasrkin troops coming in this week. Still trying to figure out what color scheme to go with. Original camo or something else like tiger stripe. Ideas?
>>47724054
NO! Not too subtle!
You're the one motherfucker I've seen do it right.
Not everything has 40,000,000,000 lumen lamps.
>>47724770
At that size it better be for an ork army.
>>47724843
I was going to go with that colour on mine.
I think I'll stick with the red though. Don't get me wrong. Your's look good.
They just don't feel very SDE anymore. Just more normal fantasy.
>>47732934
Too hard to get a magnet of appropriate strength into the legs and chassis. Pinning will remove the ability for it to move around terrain. I just want my monstrosity to gloriously stride across the battlefield
>>47733062

>>47733478
>>47733571
>>47733360
would liquid green stuff be better than regular greenstuff for crack filling?
>>47733327
Greenstuff.
>>47733587
Liquid GS is shite for the job. It shrinks as it dries. It's only actually useful for texture effects, such as making lichen.
>>47730386
>think at something
Man, that's impossible unless you're using mind bullets.
>>47732567
Surcoats and tabards are worn over armour so you can see the heraldry etc.
It's onlt a wierd fantasy movie thing when they are under armour.

Finally getting back to painting. Got the fur done on this model today. The glaze at the end kinda overpowered it, used way too much (it was supposed to be orange), but it still looks good.
>>47733587
I wish I asked before I just tried it. They looked all patched up but as others said when. it. dried they opened up a bit so I ended up making a mess of it.
>>47733782
I fully understand, the model just looked like it was breastplate rather than a tabard. Didnt connect the dots
>>47733864
Ugh, here's a less grody pic. Still not great but better.
So I fucked up. I forgot to thin my wash before applying it and now it's all shiny.I also forgot to touch up that forearm lightning.
Is there a way to make it less shiny without stripping it?
>>47733965
matte varnish nigga
>>47733965
Dullcote
>>47733965
When you varnish it the shinyness will go away. Provided you use matte varnish of course.
>>47734023
>>47734040
>>47734087
Cool thanks. Unfortunately I don't think my LGS has that. Is it something I can pick up at Hobby Lobby?
>>47734127
yes. literally any art store will have matte varnish. The testors dullcoat is pretty good, but krylon sells a matte spray can as well that walmart carries
>>47732793
That's awesome dude
>>47734127
Testors dullcoat. 3-4 layers depending on the model.
>>47734127
In Aus we have wattle matte estapol which is a floor varnish that works well.
>Put the rhino door in backwards
>Didn't notice until the whole model had set
I need to stop using plastic glue.
At least I didn't glue the door in, but there's no way I can get it out now. Fucking...
This tentacle unit is trained to fuck your mouth
>>47734503
Wellp. Time to walk without rhythm.
>>47734531
Does it look okay with the tentacles themselves kept gray?
>>47734423
Cut the little pegs holding it in.
You'll have to glue it once it's the right way but atleast it wont be beckwards anymore.
>>47734503
I bet I could train it to do some other things if given enough time.
>>47734567
>does the gray look ok
Looks good to me, the yellow stuff is weird but cool.

I posted my shitty Stormcast in the thread a while ago, I'm posting because I did a few more, I feel like I'm improving but still pretty bad..
>>47735581
Add a little white on that face and you've got the Mr. Bill squad
>>47736097
Not bad, edge that white or shade the recesses/seams though. Your metal looks great, your build up to the brighter parts is smooth.
>>47730790
Damn, these look a lot better now that they're primed. Keep up the good work!
>>47736097
Definitely looks a lot better than the first ones you showed off, going off memory. There's definite improvement
I bought some castrol super clean today. Let's hope I don't end up hospitalized with nasty chemical burns.
>>47736513
Does this actually happen? I've been using it bare-handed for a while now.
>>47736571
Stop.
Use gloves and ventilate.
>>47736611
Nah.
It feels good on my hands and I like the minty fresh smell.
>>47736571
Haha, someone stupid enough to use such a liquid to strip miniatures would also be stupid enough to handle it without protection. Too bad Darwin's Law never seems to work in real life.
>>47726831
Not to sound weird but why do they have to have skulls on them? Surely nobody ever looked at Warhammer and said "you know what? This setting just doesn't have enough skulls!".
>>47737020
I dinno man. I think the designers might do it all the time.
I'm looking at doing my blood axes on forest bases.
Aside from that sweet leaf punch from earlier what other ideas do people have?
Being forest floor there would be very little grass. Maybe only small shrubs and I was thinking twigs for falled branches. Anyone done that before? Do thay look odd at that scale?
So uh, I was going to prime a model and I noticed fingerprints and shit all over it.
How do I clean these plastic models so the shit doesn't fuck with the primer?
>>47737330
Warm soapy water and a tooth brush.
You should wash your hands before modeling.
>>47737366
I did, my hands tend to get very oily though.
I should probably buy gloves to wear when modeling.
And do you mean dish soap or hand soap?

/WIP/ can I get some tips on trying to take a better pic of this mini? (I tried touching it up a bit but it didn't work too well) I can't seem to properly light up the face due to how the dagger and the crossbow mess with even fairly muted lights/shadows.
>>47737793
>"What do you mean they aren't the same colors!?"
>>47731393
I think the purple one looks alright, even the yellow on is okay but the white looks weird.
Maybe it's a shitty camera or a zoomed out shot.
EITHER way they look like they should each be in their own army.
I get the idea but how will you do the shrines and stuff in a way that will match all three schemes.
Tried Stirland Mud on a base. Pretty happy with the result, although I know I need to apply a lot so that it doesn't like some thin chocolate frosting.
Anyone knows a 3rd party similar products that would be roughly the same, basically giving the effect of wet mud, but less expensive.
>>47733276
Plenty of ppl pointed that out to me. But I didn't really think about scheme, I just bought new green paints that I had no chance to use yet.
When I'll be paiting dragons, I probably won't go with red scheme for them aswell, I'll try to do star/space pattern on hides and wings. Still no idea for ogres yet.
However, I'll paint heroes just as they look on cards.
>>47727615
Pretty fucking good mate.
>>47737972
Yeah Vallejo makes a ton of them in different colors and textures. They should have a mud one. It's one huge tub for the price of less than 3 Citadel texture pots.
>>47738166
Perfect, thanks a lot man.
>>47730708
Anyone?
>>47737834
That guy has a huge fucking dong.
Needed something scenery related to paint so i started to add some wooden structures to my cityfight terrain and painted aegis to go with them.
Brown adds some colour to boring grey

Don't forget.... the vast majority of lanterns actually ontained.... a single candle.
Got a box of Prosecutors minus the wings for a couple of euros recently. Here's an attempt to make something out of the kit.
The idea is basically sigmarine rangers, operating ahead of the main force and doing scout-y stuff.

>>47738567
Not bad. I like the poses. Not so sure about the rocks, but I'm not a fan of artificially making your miniatures taller by giving thel a bases half of their actual size, but that's just personnal taste.
Love your conversions work and painting btw.
>>47727615
Love them! The green for the legs and arms looks great!
