ya did good kid. Whatcha painting?
>>48087373
Tonight's project, or at least what I'm going to be mucking about with.
10 points to any eagle-eyed anon that notices what's off about my newest Johnny (the one on the right). I only noticed when I was stripping some leftover paint off him.
>>48087383
no pauldron bumps?
>>48087433
Bingo!
I guess I wasn't the only one who had trouble sanding down the moldline off that shoulder.
I'm not sure what to do about it.
I could use greenstuff to add a few studs or I could go around the rim with it and give him some Mark 7 pauldrons, but I'm not sure yet.
Any advice on what else I can do to this guy? He's the final man in my first squad, would really like to make the bright sections of his gun seems like they're glowing; would a drybrush give that effect?
>>48087467
i dunno i kinda like the smooth shoulder johnny, he just hasnt earned his bumps
I took the previous threads ANons advice on cutting pennies with my slotted bases, luckily i had some canadian pennies, an old arcade token, and a coin from another country i cant remember
to make them fit i had to cut them each, then cut out a section of them from that. Ultimatly leaving me with a bunch of little scrap chunks. so instead of cutting more coins i just used the chunks, its not perfect and some of them if you drag them along a table it will scratch it so i need to fit that, but otherwise, the are weighing my bases down and the nids are standing!
now GW owes me $.04 in USA monies. $.02 Canadian, and whatever that last species of coin was
Finally have some significant progress on the USS Missouri. Wood decking is going on in the upper super structure deck areas, radar and antennae arrays all installed. Next up is the main deck, the bits and bobs covering that, and the secondary armament (high angle 5 inch guns and anti-aircraft Bofors and 20mms)I hope this pictures are the right orientation this time.
>>48087481
You start with a dark blue, then wash all the recesses with either Nuln Oil or Drakenhof Nightshade. Then start layering up towards a thin, white line in the middle using progressively lighter blues and finally thin glazes of bright blue on the metallic parts surrounding it.
Or you can drybrush it.
>>48087537
And some progress on the #1 turret
![99120116002_VanguardSpecialWeapon360[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/27UZFiT.jpg "99120116002_VanguardSpecialWeapon360[1].jpg")
>>48087487
I thought the bumps were actually molecular bonding studs needed to reinforce the armor since it was made during the Heresy when good materials were few and far between.
I think my Johnnies are going to be Flesh Tearers and Lamenters respectively, and
I dig the idea though of making him a Lamenter who only has jury-rigged armor.
>>48087481
I'd do some highlights on the bronze. i think it's a little too rounded for drybrushing to be very effective, but that may be just because I can't drybrush worth a damn. Your mileage may vary.
Other than that, I'd do so blue energy effects on the zippy-zappy bits. I'd check out the Skitarri Painting Guide and see how they did the effects for their Arc Rifles and Plasma Calivers.
Pic for ref.
>>48087560
Wow, I never really noticed how big the guns on those boats were.
Looking at the size of those ladders on 'em does give me pause to think on it though.
That aside, I dig the wood.
It's looking pretty damn good so far anon.

>>48087543
Ah, so a watered down nightshade glaze on nearby parts? Do I cover the layers I'll have built on the energy itself with that wash too or just the metallic surrounding?
>>48087579
I've got some runefang steel and gold for highlighting on order, not sure whether I should be putting the metal highlights in before the wash or after at the moment. I'm a bit put off of layering gold, washing, relayering then highlighting as I think the gold is too bright, so I'm guessing layer highlight wash?
![dscf3679[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/LKP9eFc.jpg "dscf3679[1].jpg")
>>48087655
>not sure whether I should be putting the metal highlights in before the wash or after at the moment.
For Space Marines, I always see it go Base -> Wash -> Layer Highlight. It leaves it with a much more weather look than if you were to go Base -> Layer Highlight -> Wash.
>>48087690
Cheers, will give it a go. Got a bit confused I think as most tutorials I've seen always re apply the layer when washing before the highlight, but I'd rather not have my DE with super bright gold weapons detracting from the model
I'm just wondering whether to swap my armour highlighting paints now, originally wanted to do the Kabal of the Flayed Skull but picked up the wrong orange highlight. Think the other oranges might blend better but would mean there's some colour inconsistency in the army

I am working on backpacks for all types of available armor and for some reason it's quite hard to figure out which type of armor gad which backpack and what the differences are. Plus over the years we have seen an array of updated versions of each. What is canon? Which pack belongs to which armor type and how do they look like?

Anyone got a recommendation for a wet palette, ie brands or sets? I have no clue what's good or bad.
I use mainly Citadel Paints if it matters.

The Missouri is one of the four remaining Iowa-class battleships. Those are 16-inch guns.
>>48088918
It's already pictured on the FW website, and you get a rundown in the description.
A hand is attached to the handle of the weapon, but you are free to use whichever arm/arm pair you want. You can google pics of the sprues if you need a visual
>>48089033
For comparison, this is a round from an Imperial Navy Revenge-class battleship - nearly six feet tall! The guns are in the background. These are *15* inch guns, so they are *smaller* than the ones on the Missouri.

They're like the Space Sharks but also vampires in space.
Flesh Tearers are from GW going 'Whoa, the Flesh Eaters are a little TOO balls to the wall. We have to dial it back a few notches, atleast to 11.'
>>48089261
because total annihilation isactually good
>>48089269
they have a hard time tearing it first, tho.
>>48089275
Too small for that. My first thought was a razorback turret but it's too large for that.
it's just the normal HB cover, just cut down almost in half for some weird reason
>>48089297
Flesh Eaters don't look too much different from normal Blood Angels though. Besides the shark mouth, they're nearly identical.
Flesh Tearers got the black heads and pauldrons, a black and silver backpack, and a darker shade of red for the armor.
I might steal the shark mouth anyway though. I got a lot of beakies in my army.

>>48089303
Yes, but naval warfare is a tiny fraction of it.
I liked Leviathan. It's not perfect, but it's a fun little game. I wish there was a naval warfare game like B17 Flying Fortress 2, where you get to control a single ship, but don't need to know all the bells and whistles, can just concentrate on assigning targets, course, etc. and the crew will do it. There's that not-World of Tanks game with ships, but I'm not a huge fan of multiplayer games.
I just ran out of chaos black spray to basecoat my metal models and I've heard it's shit and expensive. What should I use to basecoat metal models?

The Pentarchy of Blood (860-940.M33) - During the War of the False Primarch, a dark and bloody episode of the Imperium's history, now largely lost to myth and purged from the record, which plunged the Segmentum Pacificus into anarchy, the Pentarchy of Blood was convened by the High Lords of Terra to enact their judgement. Five Chapters; the Flesh Eaters, the Carcharodons, the Charnel Guard the Death Eagles, and the Red Talons are used to systematically destroy eleven Chapters of the Adeptus Astartes judged Traitoris Perdita and lay waste to their home worlds, finally drawing the eight decade conflict to a close.
>>48089426
>Yes, but naval warfare is a tiny fraction of it.
depends on the map, and battleships are best when you have a mix of land and sea to attack
and TA's ship game is comprehensive.
>>48089332
>it's just the normal HB cover
No, it's not. It goes way lower on the sides than the HB cover, the angled bits are way longer than on the HB cover and the vents on the angled bits are fully on the angle, while on the HB cover they reach down to the sides.
After looking at some potential bits, I'm pretty sure it's the sponson shields from the Baal predator.
>>48089443
I've never had a problem with Krylon or Rustoleum primers. Basically any non-automotive primer from your local hardware store should do the job. I usually use the ones that are meant to be used on random outdoor items (benches, etc.) because they promise to bind to plastics, metals, ceramics, etc.
Also they're super cheap compared to Citadel or Army Painter sprays.
>>48089512
I'll have to check out Amazon or eBay for it. Fuck paying £10 a go for citadel paint
Welcome the /tg/ WIP
How thin is your Paint?
>>48089476
>"Tell me your secrets, delicious man-meat."
I got loads of those Kroot meaty bits and been thinking about making like a busted up corpses out of them with some zombie bits. Like someone got hit by an artillery shell and just got scattered into the four winds.
How does the quality of the chinese FW recasters compare to FW quality. What can be expected from such a recaster.
>>48089540
My paint is so thin I started teaching a homeopathy course.
>>48089540
It evaporates before it dries.
>>48089568
There are two kind.
There is the extremely cheap with thousand of products which are all bad.
And then there is the expensive one, which have a very limited catalogs, it's hard to track, but everything he made is identical to FW, sometimes even better (he fix it with green matter before casting and use a high quality resin).
>>48089568
It depends on the recaster and the kit in question. I'd say one of the bigger disadvantages of buying from recasters is learning which kit is okay to order from which person. Personally I've had bad experiences with CCON that required a lot of reheating/bending and green stuff to fix. On the other hand certain Z kits and the (now defunct) WarDream were literally perfect with the only difference being that you need to reheat/unbend parts and you're working in resin (just like Forge World).
Obviously the price point helps. Even with dodgy kits you can order two or three models for the price of one and come out ahead.

You could always drill small holes with a pin vise and glue then ends of straight pins into the holes to create your own studs on the pauldron.
>>48091148
Put an Agrax Earthshade wash on it.
That's what I use to fix my mistakes anyway.
>>48088675

>>48088372
>Eh ... one day I will learn how to airbrush 2 colors without fucking up the other
Yeah, it's called masking fluid. You can find it at art supply stores. It's normally used for masking areas on water color paintings for example. Brush it on areas (it's sort of like runny rubber cement) and let it dry completely. Then you can spray and later peel it off carefully without damaging the paint underneath. You'll need to use cheap brushes and a solvent based cleaner to remove it from the brush you use. I use Testors cheap-ass enamel brushes and enamel thinner.
I use the stuff initially before I spray prime my minis. I put it on the areas where parts are going to be glued together so that I get good 'surface to surface' glue joins. I can then spray prime, base color, and even do additional painting. I then simply carefully peel away the paint and dried masking fluid and have a perfect surface to glue together.
>>48091450
Here's an old example of some of my Nids being prepped for mass priming and base coating. You can see the fluid drying on the areas where I want to glue parts together.
>>48091518
After that I typically use long strips of foamcore board with a strip of masking tape sticky side up to hold the parts in place. It lets me spray prime them from different angles getting good coverage without having to worry about the parts shifting and sticking together which sucks.
>>48091551
After that it's easy to spray prime and base color boat loads of minis quickly and easily.
>>48091565
And a small shot of some minis that were primed and then had the masking fluid removed. It's easy to see where it was and now there's nice clean surfaces to glue together.
>>48091450
I tried some of that on a 1/72 tank. Getting it out of the details has proven frustrating to say the least. The engine grills, well, they're never going to be free of it. I think I'll be more of a tape guy in the future, at least for anything that isn't a smooth, featureless surface.
>>48091148
You're supposed to use greenstuff to fill any cracks.
Slather it in liquid green and paint some dwarf flesh over it, good as new.
Hey /wip/.
How safe is it to re-undercoat something that's already undercoated? Bought a Leman Russ undercoated black (decent job, nice and even) but I'd prefer it white.
Would there be any risk of losing detail if I gave it another white spray coat ontop? Don't really feel like stripping it!
>>48087537
>>48087560
beautiful, that is some incrediably fine detailing.
I got a couple of battlships like that from a modeling shop near my house, but the kits were abominable and I never finished them.

HAH
yeahI remember these pictures, but I couldnt remember what it was called, I tried masking tape, but trying to get that shit properly on the model was/is a pain in the ass.
Does it work on paint itself though ?
>>48092080
>Does it work on paint itself though ?
Yes. It's designed to be put down on water color paper to either protect the white paper or over the top of painted areas to protect the paint. You can thin it with plain tap water (assuming your tap water isn't complete crap) while the masking fluid is still liquid to make a smooth thin mix as sometimes it comes out thick. Just put down a thin layer and let it dry completely before painting / priming over it. It should peel right off without a lot of effort. Just be careful not to let the parts touch before you spray / paint them as the masking fluid surface will stick to other masking fluid covered surfaces.
My nearly finished troll slayers. Obviously bases need dealing with and maybe a couple of other bits of tidying.
>>48092137
Mhm, I already ordered Masking Putty, more expensive than Silly Putty like the other anon suggested but I will see how that goes.
If not, I will definitly try the masking fluid, thanks.
>>48091148
Dude, just put some Band-Aid on it, it will heal.
Wash with soap and water, no alcohol needed like this man suggest >>48091169, it will only reduce the bad AND the good natural flora.
Should you by all means get a fewer and feel ill, go see a doctor, but this should by all means turn out fine. Hell, I have cut half my thumb of during my 20 years as a hobbyist and fixed it with regular tape, and I'm a registered nurse to boot.
But check this injury out, a few weeks back I was sawing through some ole metal miniatures for conversions, and slipped and slammed my hard clenched fist straight in the nut sack!
I had to walk it of, and with no sympathy from the wife I might ad (apart from the occasional "moron" comments).
But anyway, just stay cool anon, wash regularly, try to keep it clean, and if it bleeds, but a Band-Aid on it. There, self healing 1-2-3.

that game was my childhood. my dad borrowed it from a friend at his work because he though I'd like it, and I loved it so he made a (illegal) copy of it for me. I just bought it on steam because I couldn't resist for the $2 or whatever it was
>>48093850
Yeah but you'll never get better if you don't try.
I went back to my DAngles after a decade of playing mostly Fantasy and have been stripping, repainting and adding to them. Already posted that image, but whatever. It's for motivational purposes. Progress!
So go and build/ paint some things.
>>48091148
Anon, I work in a hospital. What we don't need is yet another pussy like you in there when our resources are better spent treating actual patients. We get enough of your kind as it is.
Do what >>48092769 said and you'll be fine.
t. every ER ever
>>48093224
>>48093682
Thanks, guys.
>>48094034
what did you highlight those with? Here's my recent DA.
>>48094135
Battle brother!
Warpstone glow for a broad edge highlight on everything, warstone glow thinned down to a glaze on raised armor plates and finally moot green for sharp edges.
Didn't bother with more steps during highlighting because I wanted them off the table.
>>48090936
Looks like shit.
>>48091148
Here's the scar where I once cut off the knuckle on my left hand index finger bar a small flap of skin.
I was cutting through resin with a craft scalpel.
It was 2AM and I was 18 living with my parents, so didn't wanna even wake them.
Savlon antiseptic cream, kitch paper and duct tape saw me though after I mopped up the puddle of blood.
Just keep it clean and dry and it will heal nicely.
>>48089810
I put my raptors on 25mms and haven't had a single issue with them falling or anything
So i want to get some inquisitorial henchmen with storm bolters and i don't really know how to go about it.
I was thinking of getting thees guys.
How would you go about making henchmen with storm bolter? Just some IG with storm bolter?
>>48094034
i have never painted anything and no idea how to start
also i'm really not good with stuff like that so i'll just stick to looking at things
painting a squad of mkIV assault marines, it took me 65 minutes just to edge highlight this guy's armour. I guess that's what I get for not painting anything for about 6 months.
How in the world do you get paint of this color and consistency?
>>48094135
Not bad anon not bad.
Maybe a highlight on them robes though
>>48094034
something about your highlights I don't like.
Not sure what it is.
>>48094912
Go with a dark grey, dry brush metal in edges and other locations, wash with nuln, then bath in devlin mud.
>>48095039
Too comic-y and not grimdark enough? Because that's intentional.
>>48095094
Thanks, will try
>>48094034
Battle brother!
>>48095129
just doesn't look right. Sorry anon.
>>48095236
No worries. I'm curious though, so let me know if you figure it out.
>>48094513
Liar.
Still, they look so much better on 32mm.
>>48095176
Why do they have LED strips bolted to the corners of their armour?
>>48095553
Wat?
I'm about to start painting some Silver Tower acolytes.
I'm a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to painting so really pushing myself hard to achieve a high quality standard.
Any ideas how I go about achieving a paintjob like pic related?
>>48095352
I think its just that the highlights are so bright, and located all over the model, not just wear the light would hit them, so it doesn't look right to my eye.
Still a good job.
>>48095573
Anon's insulting your bright highlights.
>>48091518
>I put my figures together yesterday, havnt base coated yet
DID I FUCK UP?
>>48094912
It's just black with drybrushing and sponge chipping. It looks better than it sounds cause of their super bright professional photography lighting.
>>48094912
The color is pure black under bright light and the fuzzy texture is just slightly frosted varnish. FW paint jobs are really fast and simple except for the Primarchs.
>>48093779
35mm

However, that model you have liked looks to be on the larger base size used for monsters
>>48095700
Use Vallejo fluo paints.
>>48093779
So for reference these are the scale of the monsters on their bases next to the paint pots.

>>48096091
GW propaganda squad here.
It's obviously painted with Vallejo fluo paints.
>>48095700
i think glaze blending would work well there,key to getting such a bright colour, as you can see from the pic, is making some little extreme white highlights which will really make the colour look brighter. Do you need anything in particular?
>>48096193
No, its painted with Citadel paints.
>>48096045
>Dung Beetle
>Shit
C'mon buddy
>>48096389
Thanks, thats helpful.
How about that robe? Do you think thats a pure white?
>>48096547
i would base pure white and shade into black, i think that's pure white
>>48096603
actually you migh want to go from pure white to aliitle dark almost black line, but looking at the pic again it is very possible that a blueish off white was used in between
>>48094558
I would use Anvil too. I want to eventually. I thought they could make good Inq Henchmen, maybe. It may take some kit bashing, but that's a great bolter model to use.
>>48096634
Thanks again
Finally, whats method do you think is used to blend the different white layers?
If I just paint it straight on you will see a clear demarcation line between the layers. A glaze perhaps?
>>48096634
maybe it's a guilliman blue glaze, i don't think GW sells such an off blue
>>48096785
i think what they did was white base, little black line which then becomes grey, just the deepest folds you see, and then guilliman blue glaze over it, which would be the light blue part.(might also be a wash, but i think that's a glaze). If you want to learn how to make smooth transition, there are lots and lots of techniques, glaze blending is very easy. You basically put your layer normally and then use a glazed mid tone(layer+base colour+water) and you apply it on the transition area. it can lso work for shadows obviously. Remember to move you bruh towards the lighter part, since the direction affects where the most pigments will be when you are using a glaze.

Guys, remember that GW photos are brighter than they are IRL.
>>48097061
yeah, i got fucked by their photo once or twice, but i still think that's white,brighter or not, that white even blends with the background
>>48096151
I'm surprised no one told ya. It's the pariah from kingdom death. Apparently it's 35mm? I just got back to check if anyone had some measurements or comparison shots.
I'm going to use if for a nephrotic Prince, don't recognize the name of your project.
>>48095978
>>48095999
>>48096132
Thanks for the attempts. The links wouldn't load for some reason.
Ty for the picture, hopefully he is closer to 35 than 40. Their models seem to be all over the place.
>>48097389
All their humans are 35 mm unless otherwise stated. The monsters, which I think that model is because it is on a larger base, will be bigger.
>>48097430
Darn, that's disappointing. My main game is ~30mm. Thanks for the info.
>>48097389
The Pariah is on a 50mm base. Expect him to be no shorter than 45mm(and up to 70mm) and his head being larger than a space marine's helmet.
>>48097056
looks like shit
Kingdom Death looks amazing, I remember the Wet Nurse coming out years ago and making everyone go WTF. How is the plastic sprue quality?
I don't really get the game though, seems like such a waste of such beautiful models. Or the mentality of the guy making it all, with the limited runs and his general poncey artiste outlook.
>>48098288
I have the game, and I too am disappointed. Not with the game, but the waste of models.
They're not WYSIWYG, and they're not magnet friendly, snap fit, or anything, so despite every item having a plastic model of it, theres no way of showing your character just made a new shield, or a new helmet.
95% of all the plastic is wasted.
Probably going to sell my game.
Looks like ill make double what I paid though, so thats cool.
>>48098288
The game is pretty cool, it's like Monster Hunter and Civilization set in an even more horrific Victorian Geiger-esque Dark Souls setting.
>>48098288
KD's plastic kits are pretty top notch. Really intelligently placed moldlines and often times very light to begin with.
Some of the monsters have their issues, but are relatively minor compared to the difficult models of other companies.
>>48098288
Sprue quality is really good. I have rarely if ever had to deal with flash. Minimal mould lines.
The game itself is now looking for funding another full run in order to get it into shops. 4000 copies were made, all sold, and a good number of those were post KS, at full rrp.
As for the game, it is like an emergent rpg. There is tons of replay, and playing on and off over the course of 6 months I have only finished my first solo play through.
As for other issues. The game does not feature anything "rapey" - yes there is a degree of nudity, both for male and females in the artwork - but not as much as people make out.
>>48098356
i relly don't understand your complaint. Why do you NEED WYSIWYG? Are you actually selling a game just because of that?
>>48098424
Yeah I don't get that complaint either. PLenty of 40k kits in the past or warhammer kits had tons of excess pieces because of the variety of options the kits allowed.
One person's bug is another person's feature I guess.
Also, I think this is important to point out at this point, because it is not WYSIWYG, I have really only been making survivors from the kits based on combos of stuff I like the look of. This means in the space of 6 months I have only put together 40% of the potential models. I will only just start painting some of those this week. That is how much of a project the game can be in terms of models and painting.
>>48098159
I really appreciate the 40k helmet comparison, it may function in my game after all.
>>48098385
I like many of the concepts, but I feel the main downfall is not enough experience in tabletop or producers to filter and direct poots.
>>48089211
>>48089303
>>48093899
Any of you fellas tried Planetary Annihilation? Kind of a good mix between Total Annihilation and Supreme Commander. Updated graphics and good (but a little simplistic) base building and unit rosters, but still keeps the cartoony feel and doesn't take itself too seriously.
Not the greatest large scale RTS around but it's cheap as fuck on Steam right now and I'm finding it enjoyable. I'm switching back and forth between it and the new Deathwatch game.
>>48096011
BURN!
Did some experimenting with tamiya clear paints
>>48098270
Bit of a general question, but does anyone know some good NA places/sites to buy big lots of bits? Specifically I'm looking for armless plastic IG lasguns for converting purposes, and I'm hoping I don't have to rely on ebay for a small lot at a comparatively high price.
>>48093671
I'd suggest looking into realistic water effects. I like these guys': http://www.secretweaponminiatures.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=13&products_id=432
You can mix in colors to tint the whole thing, make colored swirls/mists with in the 'water', layer it to create layers of viscous fluids, build up drool/slop hanging off things with the creative use of fishing line, build up ripples/waves, and all other kinds of cool shit. I've been trying to figure out how to 'mist' it so it looks like rain falling and collecting onto armor.
>>48099015
eBay is pretty much the only one. All the bit stores are out of stock or out of business. If you're lucky you'll find box lots of like 10 arms instead of buying each arm individually.
>>48099015
Horde O Bits is pretty good, but their web store is out of stock of Catachan troop arms. You'll want to look for catachan bits since they have far more armless lasguns and the ones being held in-hand are easily salvageable since they're holding them by the top.
>>48098701
I almost bought it because it's cheap, but I constantly hear bad things about it
>>48098424
I think the complainant is you can get specific pieces of armor, but because the bits are so tiny and not magnet froendly, you can't represent a specific piece of armor on your survivor despite the supposed capacity.

Oh man anon, i had this happen to me a bunch. i actually sat on one of mine, well slid rather. was trying to skooch back into my seat only to find out an xacto blade that had been hidden between the arm and the cushion had flopped out onto the cushion. went through my PJs and right into muh ass.
another time the blade went through what i was holding and through my finger aswell. this one was bad as i ended up tending to it for two weeks before it was back to feeling alright. i personally was freaking out because i was afraid i had hit the artery. it was tender but ok close to week two and by week four i had forgotten about it.
Do you guys have any idea where I can fidn leather pteruges for mein marines?
>>48100542
I hit the top most joint in my left thumb with a blade long ago. I think the ligament or whatever controls contraction will never fully heal as bumping it is enormously painful.
one i nicked my finger with my hobby blade knife, and while it didnt hurt, the shock of it made me drop the knife into my foot

They sure do charge a lot, but I guess if you really absolutely *had* to have what they're selling, it's nice to know you can buy it without too much hassle.

There are better games out there for sure, but it's super cheap right now and you'll get your money's worth out of it at the very least.
>>48102532
Slice into bricks, carve into timbers, make spruecrons, use as unseen internal framing for whatever projects.
what do you guys think of the paint scheme so far?
>>48102559
I was thinking of building objective markers that look like camera tripods and actually telescope, maybe make some kind of flags with them

should i decide to strip using something such as a degreaser, will they come off?
>>48104434
Harsh degreasers should be able to strip most primers, but some brands bind to the plastic and can't be stripped. For example, Krylon Fusion.
