First attempt at making a Noise Marine, still filling in the joints with leadbelcher and nuln oil.
Thoughts?
>>47982747
>Thoughts?
This is weird, wild stuff, Ed. I did not know this!
Very cool. Crazy, but nonetheless cool!
>>47982747
Oh god, my eyes.
>>47982747
I like the idea but I'd like to see it a lot cleaner than this.
Infinity gives you so much wonderful detail to play with!
Did her with a glaze/wash over white technique.
>>47983152
>>47983172
Thanks guys.
>>47983156
Excellent. That's exactly what I was going for.
>>47983428
That is exceptional work.
>>47982747
I need earplugs just to LOOK at that paintjob, but isn't that a loyalist model? He doesn't look very chaos-y aside from the colors.
ok, ill ask again, whats a good saw i can get online? theres a bunch of types of blades and brands, so id like to ask for some recommendations.
im looking to mostly cut up metal minis
>>47983428
Somebody's gotta go out there! Take a portable terminal, and...
How, man? How?!? With those things runnin' around out there, you can count me out!
>>47983428
is there some line of metal gear 30mm figures?
>>47983572
Yeah, I guess we can just count you out of everything, Hudson.
>>47983511
It certainly is, I had a bunch of old, very poorly painted marines who hadn't seen the field it at least a decade.
So I stripped them and am trying to make them both interesting and useful.
>>47983577
The Snake to the side in the photo is from Tales of War, as 'Snakier'. They also have a Grey Fox/Cyborg ninja model.
I use both for Infinity, as there's special operatives AND cyborg ninjas involved.

I'd put some spikes on him, just to be safe. Or maybe something more Slaanesh-y...like those giant puffy scarf-things glam rockers wear.
Or a mohawk. Slaanesh loves mohawks.

>>47983633
>Yeah, I guess we can just count you out of everything, Hudson.
That's right, man! Hey, why don't you go?
>>47983700
Those old Noise Marines sure had a lot of character, didn't they? I never really cared for any of the models Citadel made after that, even if the weapon options did increase from just "guitar that shoots like a bolt gun."
>>47983805
and back
>>47983805
looking cool, I like the checkers on the axe. the bloodletter head on the side of it looks a little odd as bone though, I can see why you'd not do red.
I think you need more highlights though atm, especially on the skin and the skull necklace he's looking a little flat
![latest[1].png](https://i.imgur.com/XrMmOaI.png "latest[1].png")
>>47983807
I'll go.
>>47982747
I like it. But filling seams with nuln oil and paint is hobby-heresy even the eye of terror wouldnt tolerate.

I think (I hope) he meant that he's busily painting the flexible joint coverings with Leadbelcher and then washing them with Nuln Oil.
>>47984069
>painting the flexible joint coverings with Leadbelcher and then washing them with Nuln Oil.
That one. Yes. Not actually filling anything.
Anyone have tips for stripping FW stuff?
Any thoughts if they bring back kasrkins or if they will ever look the same/as good? God I just got into the hobby and I realized I can never really field them
>>47984378
Of course you can. They're just a storm trooper model like the new ones.
I still use the 2nd edition ones.
>>47984474
True. I just don't seem the in fluff much anymore or maybe I don't look hard enough. And kasrkins have that distinct model to me I would rather not use new storm troopers. I wish GW would make new plastics ones..
>>47984668
scions have replaced storm troopers in the fluff for trademark purposes
>>47984693
The have replaced storm troopers with scions for copyright reasons, yes. Kasrkins are definitely a signature 40k unit and fluff though if they wanted to at all they probably could do it and slap some CR on there.
>>47984668
I think because they moved away from being specifically cadia focused.
It's not like the fluff means much anyway. It's intentionally full of massive holes so you can do your own thing.
Just buy up old metals. It's likely cheaper than most of the new kits anyway.
>>47984724
Really cheaper? Might have to then. Idk how metal is cheaper but I'm not complaining
>>47984724
Agreed they do do that on purpose, I love 40k fluff personally Ive followed it for about 6 years but I just had the time and money to get into it so imagine my dismay. Oh well
>>47984743
Because it will all be second hand stuff. Just keep an eye on ebay etc.
Metals are a dream to strip. Just look for lot buys at good prices.
Since the newer ranges have crazy fucked pricing anything from ~6-10 years ago seems incredibly cheap.
They moved away from metal to maximise profits, not to deliver cheaper goods.
>>47983428
Don't think I don't notice Snake there.
>>47984668
The new Stormtrooper models are sick. Kasrkins are cool, but the Scions are one of the best infantry kits GW has.
>>47985120
I like them too. They look really chaos-y to me though. If I was going to use them it would be as renegades.
My favourites are the really old plastic ones and the metals that followed those.
a few of my nearly-finished gobbos with an ork overseer to make sure the goblin attack crew's enthusiasm remains aimed in the right direction.

From experience, I can recommend the Xacto saw blades that fit into a regulation hobby knife handle.
The Digganobs I have been working on for Gorkamorka, curious on others thoughts on them.
>>47985677
good use of kitbashing, they look really stylish. i like the coat on twhat i presume to be the leader.
what kits did you use? i recognise cadian guards but that's about it.
>>47985788
I mean I know the three center models are from the Dark Vengeance Cultists, Tvetchar with the shotty/powersword and the two to the (viewer's) right of him are from DV/Cultist box
>>47985854
forgot pic, also am not the guy who made the minis in >>47985677
>>47985677
Looking cool. I recomend catachans as well, their arms actually look fitting for gorka.
I used some bretonian man at arms heads on mine for some primitive helmets and then bade blunderbus type weapons out of plasticard and lollipop sticks.
>>47985788
Current renegade models, some black orc bits, ork shootas, chaos warrior heads and some imperial tank commander parts.
Did I miss anything?
>>47985874
Just Tvetchar from Dark Vengeance. the guy with the shotty/sword
>>47985788
>>47985854
>>47985871
>>47985874
>>47985891
From left to right we have

Cultist from Dark Vengeance, and a Catachan head from sentinel kit
Dark Vengeance Cultist Champion, Chaos Warrior head and sword scabbard
Dark Vengeance Cultist with Chaos Warrior head and Black Orc shield
Dark Vengeance Cultist with Guard Pilot head
And, lastly Empire Flagellant, with Chaos Sorcerer staff.
Everyone has orky bits all over of course.
I only need to make a Buggy and a Bike nowThen paint the damn things

Neat idea, terrible execution.
can someone tell me where this guy's wolf crotchskull comes from?
Does anyone have any good links to /wip/ related instergrams?
Working on some terrain for a jungle themed Pulp Alley game. The latest piece is this idol. It's a tacky wooden statuette I bought for cheap at a garage sale, pu on a base and painted with a mix of acrylic paint and fine sand for texture. I'm gonna add some more weathering and jungle plants later.
>>47987655
Fuck, didn't mean for it to rotate.
Also some models waiting to get finished. They're a mix of stuff From Copplestone Castings, Artizan Designs and Foundry. Maybe a bit of North Star Africa and Lucid Eye.
>>47987690
The monster in the back is by Heresy Miniatures.
>>47985437
Interesting models. Which manufacturer?
>>47982747

>>47987655
that's a great statue. i should really hunt around for stuff like that more.
i like to buy two-dollar little wooden jewellery boxes into pillboxes for my IG
>>47985677
Really imaginative, and the cultists make a great base. Might want to shave off the more obvious chaos stuff (necklace, chest scar, staff) but otherwise with the right paintjob they'll be perfect
>>47987655
The choices are yours and yours alone.
>>47987817
Garage sales and thrift stores are a goldmine for terrain. Made this dragon statue out of a cheap ornament and some wooden blocks. Not counting the paint and flock, it cost less than $5 to make.
Also some Chinese bandits. I'm not quite done, need to paint some details.
Playing around with flock.

>Dat feel when almost done with chaos knight but the scroll work on the chest is so god damn small it's near impossible to write anything that look good.
I I managed to write the banner but the chest is just an anal infection without end.
Any Knight players who can offer advice?
On a completly diffrent note, is Polyfiller a good idea for base work? I want to make a unique base for the knight.
>>47987784
not him, but everybody loves accordion ivan
>>47987719
You might also be interested in basi(c)ks goblins, i personally prefer them
I picked a very cheap metal Archaon second hand, this is what I managed with it.I did not realise until I was painting it that the head was wrong and the shield was missing. It doesn't bother me.

His point is that me getting an airbrush has made the hobby more expensive for everyone else.

>How can i remove the clue?
You first hand us the guilty.
>>47989206
Glue*. Fuck me i shouldn't be building models when tired.
>>47989161
Ah yeah, the modern dictator class has a lot of launch bays iirc
No one answered this in the main thread, so I suppose I should have asked it here.
I heard somewhere that certain versions of the Basilisk kit don't have the crew bits. Is this:
>>47988785
one of them? I have to buy on a budget and I want to be sure.
>>47989263
>Ah yeah, the modern dictator class has a lot of launch bays iirc
Two on each side, yeah; the uppermost leftmost cruiser in this picture is a Dictator. I don't have one painted in my fleet; I figured a Mars-class battlecruiser and an Emperor-class battleship would be enough launch bays.
>>47989181
>>47989230
If plastic try leaving it overnight in a cup of degreaser or alchool. Depending on how much glue you used it might not come off, but will weaken enough to try to pry apart with an hobby knife.
>>47989181
Superglue or plastic cement?
If it's the latter you're in trouble.
>>47989488
Yep. Super is easy, just freeze the model. Plastic cement? Either you're lucky and you can snap it with little force or you're going to have to cut it with a jeweler or razor saw
>>47989488
It's ethyl 2-cyanoacrylate superglue
>>47989560
>superglue
pop it in the freezer overnight and you should be able to easily break it apart with minimal force.
I had some Kroot i had to do that with from back when i was a retard and glued them all the wrong way
>>47989702
Okay. Thanks for the help.
Guys? Need help. Package came and I started cleaning up what I got, but the damn release agent they used refuses to come off from dish soap and old toothbrush.
What do I do?
>>47987579
trophies from the stonehorn kit
>>47989884
Ah crap, it's not release agent. THE RESIN DIDN'T CURE AT SOME PLACES!
>>47990007
Oh boy it's return time.
>>47990028
Ugh, don't even know. It's a Ukrain product and I don't feel like going through the pain of contacting them again. Will it cure if I leave it alone for a few days/weeks?
>>47990095
Of course it won't... I'm grasping at straws here, but will priming it help? It's just the surface at some places that is kind of sticky.
>>47990053
>It's a Ukrain product and I don't feel like going through the pain of contacting them again.
You know what the Ukraine is? It's a sitting duck. A road apple, Newman. The Ukraine is weak. It's feeble. I think it's time to put the hurt on the Ukraine.
>>47990131
But, but, muh Confrontation minis ;A;
>>47990053
Send images of how it's fucked and ask for another one. Shouldn't hurt as hard as messing about with a faulty product.
>>47987341
Any... any recommendations?
Or just "don't be crap at painting."
>>47990235
Yeah, you are right anon. Will do it as soon as I return from dentist's. Just when I tought the day couldn't get any better...
Can anyone suggest flexible but shapeholding wires ideal for conversions? I want to put together a couple of Dark Mechanicum test models counts as imperial guard (maybe) and this would include a massive amount of wires perforating hapless and unwilling 'servitors' what wires would you say are best for this?
>>47990126
No.
Send it back or eat the loss.
>>47990569
http://zinge.co.uk/index.php?route=product/category&path=17_71
Sounds like exactly what you're after.
Other than that bass guitar strings work too, but are obviously going to be harder to keep in shape.
>>47990053
>Will it cure if I leave it alone for a few days/weeks?
Not likely. Most resins/two part epoxies dont need air or light to cure, and the product has probably had sufficient time to cure by now if it was going to. They probably got the mix off and put too little of the catalyst in.
>>47990659
Those look idea, any idea how much length you get?
>>47990682
Thought this did get me thinking, it may be possible to coat the tacky areas with a thing superglue to create a somewhat rigid surface you can at least prime and paint.
>>47990690
If you buy a string set you get 6 of different sizes all about 1m long.
>>47990690
Says in the description for each set, 75-150mm.
>>47990724
Jesus christ no, just stop.
>>47990749
If the model is not soft, just tacky, and the glue is thin enough as not to ruin detail, then it could work well enough.
Sounds to me like getting his money back would be near impossible anyway.
>>47990730
>>47990739
Thanks and weird, the ones I was looking at didn't list the length

I'm not a huge fan of the yellow you chose, but I can not fault your technique, anon. Very nice! The weathering and bases bring everything together.
Did you say something earlier about kitbashed or custom heads?
>>47990956
GIVE THEM GENESTEALER HEADS
>>47990808
It's tacky, not soft. I repeat, just SOME surface areas are not cured enough. I could just remove them with a knife if it comes to that, but it would require a lot of fixing with green stuff later.
>>47990989
And no fluo paints were seen that day.
>>47990989
These are vallejo fluo? I need to look into them.
>>47990989
Aren't those just regular paints?
>>47990883
I have superglue with a brush? Just putting a thin layer might keep it hard enough to prime and later on not handle too harshly.
>>47991074
Yeah, he's talking out of his ass.
What do you all think of the hell hound is made from a leftover chimera hull I had?
I made a flamer for it out of sentinel flamers and a meltagun for it from a landing gear leg from a stormraven.
>>47991074
No, it's a blank image coated in digital LSD and looking at it causes you to trip balls.
>>47991200
Looks the part.
The only thing it's missing is the terribly placed fuel barrels all over everything.
I think the FW hellhound solved that whole problem better by just having one big tank in the back instead of two huge ones over the entire length of the chassis.
So go buy yourself a kinder ei, enjoy the chocolate and build a nice tank.
>>47989230
Yeah. You might clue your dreadnought legs backward.
>>47990883
Like the other anon said, with a brush or wiping it on with paper towel. I have SG that is thinner than water and have applied it using a wipe-on method when coating fretless guitar fingerboards. It's possible, but not ideal of course.
>>47991053
>I could just remove them with a knife if it comes to that, but it would require a lot of fixing with green stuff later.
Could be worse. Hell, even with finecast it's pretty much accepted that you'll be breaking out the greenstuff eventually.

Eh, I always have some on my table, I'm used to fixing my minis, even enjoy it. But we are talking about loosing some texture on whole parts of the mini, like some big parts of a 10 cm tail here. I can deal with it and it's not a catastrophe since the insides are firm, but I'd rather I didn't have to do it.
I contacted the seller and am waiting for response.

What?
>>47992884
>>47992915
Not sure I like the dakkagunz yet.
>>47992818
Vallejo fluorescents are really bright, really transparent colors. It takes a million layers like japanese folded steel but the end result is gorgeous.
I think the other anon is confusing this stuff with glow in the dark paint or something, vallejo fluos are great for what they do if you have the patience.
>>47991074
>Aren't those just regular paints?
Some of those might be, bust some are definitely not.
>>47992114
>Not according to Louise herself
Agreed. She very specifically mentions using Vallejo Fluorescent Magenta, but *also* says the rest of her paints are ordinary Vallejo and Citadel colours (pic related).
>>47992944
>Not sure I like the dakkagunz yet.
Yeah, that looks kinda weird. Maybe my brain is just used to seeing one on each side... but totally unbalanced like that is absolutely Orky!
>>47992884
Looking good already,how did you do the "rivets" on the wheel?
Is there something like a color wheel mapping for the vallejo game color range? There is a GW color wheel mapping on the internet but I'd like to have a vallejo version.
>>47993088
Remember her mentioning sunburst yellow in thread once.
>Florescent paints in an airbrush painting churches on a base.
>>47993243
She said it was her favourite yellow but I'm sure she did not try out Vallejo yellow fluorecent paint.
>>47992884
>>47992915
>>47992944
Damn, I love your style. Even before I noticed the trukk in the background, I knew you'd be the same guy. Really like how clean and precise your builds are. As for the dakkagunz, I think they'd look better if the barrels were closer together, so that the whole assembly was symmetrical. Basically moving the top one downwards to the bottom of the ammo drum.
Have my biker nobz as some inspiration.
>>47988577
I'm actully curious about this aswell. Is polyfiller any good for model basing? Or is there something special about moddling puddy filler?

Good idea! Cured resin wouldn't warp under a fingernail, and mine does. So I'll record that. Thanks!
Are warp spiders resin or finecast?

"This boxed set contains five Eldar Warp Spiders. These models are finely detailed resin cast miniatures."
Read descriptions on gw store. As for how to safely handle I dunno

Thanks for the inspiration man. They look sick. Yeah maybe reducing the gun's profile would work. I'll mull it over.

I want to use Rakhart Flesh/Pallid Wych Flesh for kind of a grayish white like pic related, but I want a colder shade of it. Would switching brown wash to blue or green work?
>>47987844
That is some nice ikea blue you've got going there
>>47993088
She mentioned in one of these threads she also used fluorescent blue i'm sure of it
>>47994101
What type of paints did you use?
>>47994642
I tried to keep transparency, so I used vallejo model air colors, which are transparent. Luckily, I had yellow, red and blue, which are the main colors. For the rest, I used normal vallejo paints, which completely remove the shine
What do you guys think of my renegade champion/enforcer for my renegade and heretics army? I am by no means a pro painter, I just paint for tabletop quality. But I gave this one a little bit of extra love due to the fact that it is 100% kitbashed.
Tips and constructive criticism is welcomed.I'm posting from my phone btw so I can't crop my pics, sorry in advance
>>47994794
And here is a view from behind
>>47994708
It looks awesome.
I've comed to the conclusion that I'm either utterly talentless or a full blown retard when it comes to basing large miniatures, a knight in this case.
Anyone got a good guide or idea for making a large base intressting? Have plenty of materials including cork and imperial building remains, I just can't seem to get a good hold of how it should look.
>>47994503
>Would switching brown wash to blue or green work?
I bet Drakenhof Nightshade would do the trick. It's the blue shade GW is selling now, and I intend to use some on the bone parts of my Librarian's armour which, naturally, is also blue.
>>47995059
Use the building remains and some putty/green stuff to make sandbags and make it look like the knight is walking through an overrun defensive position
>>47994503
I did my Knight with rakhart/pallid wych flesh, is that somewhere near were you want to end up?
Nexus Operator Conversion, Infinity.
>>47994815
Is that an IG feet and torso you converted? Very nice job with the conversion if so. Best I've managed is tentacle arms and horribly bandaged heads
>>47994794
>>47994815
It's pretty alright. I've always had a soft spot for kitbashes, what with playing Necromunda, and that one works pretty well. He needs to stop skipping leg day, though.
On the painting, you suffer from two problems: poor highlighting and too many colours. For the former, watch Duncan or any number of videos on YouTube. For the latter, do the same on colour theory or wait until someone inevitably posts that infograph in a /wip/ thread.
With the nice constructive criticism or if the way, let me make one thing really fucking clear to you: Unless your phone is from before the fucking smartphone era, you have no excuse. I'm on my phone is just laziness, willful ignorance or idiocy. There's literally hundreds of image editing softwares on all app stores as of today. Because I'm sick and tired of that excuse, I'm even going to give you three links, each to an app that can do all you ever could need and more.

So never, EVER, come with that excuse again.
Alright, rant over. Sorry for that, it's just been bothering me for some time that people can't even take time to Googke.
If I upload some photos straight from phone will the file size be all retarded?
>>47996512
Yes, and the image will probably be upside down.
>>47995862
looks pretty damn cool mate, but wheres the church
>>47996512
Usually, yes. Because you typically photograph at around 4M or higher. You'll have to check your actually settings and resolution, though. If you're on a eyeFruit, it might be tricky.
If it is, you may want to crop and resize it. That also tends fix flipped images. >>47996404 has a point, no matter how mad he is.
Hey guys I need your help on something. I am currently painting this cronos conversion for my haemonculus covens army, and I am debating on what colors to paint all the cables. Right now they are in grey primer. What colors do you think would look best? Mainly for the many smaller cables and the big ones going over his shoulders.
I need colors that would look good with it, but not distract it too much. Also the warpstones are unfinished because i am going to do an OSL glow effect with them.

I read the stripping guide posted, but it doesn't mention whether or not SuperClean is safe for resin minis. Do you guys have any experience with it before I dunk my EC contemptor?

i think a darkish yellow should work well,otherwise purple.
>>47997309
>You can strip resin with pretty much anything you use to strip plastic.
it took litterally 5 seconds to google and find this answer
Do you guys reckon it's just dark grey with some heavy weathering? Because I really like the look of this model.
>>47997563
>huge ass mouldline
>to finish the model we will make an all over wash with diluited normal paint
i think that video is purposefully made to troll /wip/
I have some pre-colored Terminator plastics from Space Hulk and I wanted to try painting them.
Should I still apply a layer of primer over the whole thing or can I use brush on primer for the non-red parts and then shade/highlight the red areas?
>>47997846
that really looks blueish on the shoulderpads, or is it my screen? For the rest of the model, yes it looks like an almost black grey with black crevices and weather highlighting(which is triggering me a lot by the way)
>>47997900
>Should I still apply a layer of primer over the whole thing or can I use brush on primer for the non-red parts and then shade/highlight the red areas?
You need to prime the entire model, anon. Any kind of model paint that would be good for shading and highlighting is going to look like shit on the unprimed plastic.
>>47997919
>that really looks blueish on the shoulderpads, or is it my screen?
Huh. I was gonna say green. It's not Caliban Green, though... something with hints of blue and green, but mostly grey. Stegadon Scale Green, maybe? That's not a colour I own.
>>47997755
Every time I've searched, it gives me unrelated articles.
>Tfw I'm shit at searching
>>47997974
I was more leaning towards a slight green myself. Maybe Stormvermin Fur?
In any case the shoulderpads definitely popped as something I would have changed the colour to grey anyway.
>>47997983
kek, i didn't even feel like typing my own search so i copy pasted your words"SuperClean is safe for resin minis"
>>47997974
try googling for some guides using it on youtube, but i think stegadon should work perfectly, i think that's it too.(stegadon scale green is blue not green though you blind man)
What is a good starter airbrush?
>>47998073
Iwata Eclipse is a good one >>47950024 Has the right idea.
You want Gravity Fed.
Do not skimp on a cheap airbrush because it will sour you to airbrushing in general. Iwata or Badger are the brands you should look at.
>>47982747
this looks more like a loyalist chapter that would specifically fight the noise marines. I can see it now, metal vs glam rock, they do battle with guitar guns that shoot sound waves instead of bullets. both sides have hot babes with swords that do all the fighting, and everyone is riding either griffins or dragons.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2_gOpU0eWU
>>47998169
sounds more like slaaneshi internal fight, but i would love a "fuck grey" knight chapter
>>47998045
God fucking dammit. I'm the worst searcher.
>>47997942
Okay, point.
What primer would you use for this guy? The whole faction is roughly the same color scheme.
hey /wip" what lamps do you use to paint at night? i am looking to buy one, do you think i really need a high end lamp?
>>47997563
>>47997417
>used vallejo air as a brush paint
that's not what it's meant for, right?
>>47998138
Not that anon, but what about compressors? How big of an air bottle do I need? Pressure? Things like that...
>>47998169
>this looks more like a loyalist chapter that would specifically fight the noise marines. I can see it now, metal vs glam rock, they do battle with guitar guns that shoot sound waves instead of bullets
That model remains unreleased.
>>47998169
It's not on the soundtrack - you'd have to get Blue Oyster Cult's Fire of Unknown Origin to hear it - but there's a song specifically about Taarna and the final battle in Heavy Metal called "Vengeance (The Pact)".
Oh. Here it is:

Hmm, purple might be good

Protectorate of Menoth? I would go with either white or light grey.

personally I have a Masters Series Compressor. It's cheap but I've yet to have issues with it.

I'll try a light grey, i've had bad luck with white primers not applying properly.
On that note, warm white or a cool white? I prefer to their trim to be that darker red and gold instead of brass.
How to seal Agrellan earth bases? Watered down pva glue? The shit's just flaking off everywhere.
Working on my Contemptor.
>>47999075
Drill them barrels, son.
>>47999022
I used the P3 White Primer to base coat my Protectorate models, haven't had an issue with it coming off or not applying well. Gold will be better on a warm white.
>>47999022
>On that note, warm white or a cool white?
Huh... I don't know for sure. Not very many of my models are white. I'll take a stab, though.
>I prefer to their trim to be that darker red and gold instead of brass.
Mephiston Red for the red, then? Or do you need to go darker?
I've also heard that painting red under gold makes the gold better. Also heard the same thing about brown (or, at least, that it works better than black, which is more suited to silver or gunmetal). I'll try the brown out on the parts of my librarian I want to be gold.
So, we have red accents, and gold with brown or possibly red underneath. I think that says you're going to want a warm white, built up from some vaguely brown off-white colour... or at the very least, darkened with a wash like Seraphim Sepia.
>>47999931
Cool, i'll grab some and use the Forces of Menoth painting guides.

Dude! That round tree-tent structure looks awesome!
It reminds me of somethign out of Heroes of might and magic 3.
Also great job on the idol! I see that you share my same approach to terrain :D
>>47987664
Also, forgot to ask.
How did you make it? I'd like to try something similar, and how did you get the spikes to interwine on the twigs so seamlessly on the little fencing pieces?
>second attempt on mini is turning out worse than the original because worse color selection
>what was an easy line last time is messy as shit this time

>>47999022
Menoth uses warm tones.
Any of you guys ever tried using Gorilla Glue to assembled a metal model? Not their branded super glue, but actual Gorilla Glue. I've got a couple joints on models which keep breaking and they're just too thin to be pinnable.
>>48002270
Gorilla glue tends to expand
>>48002270
Actual gorilla glue is not meant for models. It's a wood glue and will expand.
>>48002270
You're not supposed to use that glue, and it requires you to clamp the pieces together in a vice for several hours with enough force to break your models. Don't just use random shit on your models, use some kind of super glue or plastic glue.
>>48002315
>>48002326
>>48002344
You see, this is why I ask before I try things.
What kind of solutions do you guys go for when you've got tiny, unpinnable attachment points on long extended limbs that get torqued a lot in transit / play simply due to how far away from the attachment they are. I'm tired of having to reglue this stuff constantly.
Model is metal, by the way. Mentioned it before, but it's worth reiterating, because it makes the problem so much worse. If it were plastic I'd plastic glue that fucker and be done with it.
>>48002436
Either extremely thin drill bit and pin with wire, and/or buy a high quality custom cut foam storage.
If it's a serious problem and you're not going to do either of these, what most people do in this scenario would be replacing the offending appendage entirely either with a simple brass rod in the case of straight pieces like antennas or pole weaons, or a piece of wire and bend to shape and greenstuff over, or use a greenstuff tendril making tool in the case of organics.
>>47998611
If you're looking at compressors made for airbrushes, pressure isn't really something to worry about; thinned acrylics want to operate @ 20 psi max, and airbrush compressors generally top out at @ 60. The bigger the better for the tank; my 1 1/2 gal generally gives me 1-2 mins spray time before the compressor kicks in.
First time painter, bought a box of Gretchin and painted them all. Do you guys mind critiquing these? The bases are plain, I know but i'm not really sure on what to do with them. Having trouble making their backs and arms look nice during highlighting.
>>48003302
For a first time painter these are actually pretty good, a lot of the issues you're having with the arms and backs will really fade with time, you just need to get more comfortable with how far you can go with the brush along the raised edges of the muscles on a mini's back and arms.
The bases could use a little color, nothing too fancy maybe a drybrush or two of either a brown green or grey depending on what you want them to look like they're standing on. That, and painting the rim of their bases either black/ brown or green would pretty much tidy these guys up nicely.
I will have to say I like where you chose to put the Red on some of these models. The grot with the six-shooter is looking really good.
Other than that, just remember to check over your grots for little things (The top picture far left grot's teeth are still flesh colored, for instance). Other than that these guys are tabletop ready right now I would say.
>>48003436
Thanks for the advice, I wasn't sure about those issues because people always seem to post really nice ones that seem perfect. Also I didn't notice the teeth, thanks.
>>48002436
Unpinnable is a very strong term. What is the actual model?
You can get drill sets that go down to about .2mm.
>>48003302
Great for a first try.
Be sure to fully clean you models beforehand, pretty sure I can see a sprue piece on the right one's hair.
Something I'd suggest is take your leather elements up to a much brighter highlight to get some more varience in there.
And as the other anon mentioned take those bases up a bit in brightness, paint the rim black and you could add some flock.
Otherwise quite a bit better than a number of people I play against.
Completely new to miniatures here. Assembled a few Infinity minis, have a color scheme picked out, ready to order paints. I'd like to attempt a fairly detailed job to try my hand at it and learn as much as I can.I haven't touched a paintbrush since elementary school, is this a terrible idea?
Is it possible to get decent results for low/highlights by mixing black/white with my colors or am I a dumbass? Any other helpful tips?
