Started working on this palanquin idea as well, because I can't just focus on one model at a time (I don't even have one fully built marine for my army yet, of the 60 I bought a while back).

Can't get any good lightning for the webcam though. But this is the removable lords base, and the "flat" layer of the palanquin, which is basically part of a temple being carried around.
Around the lords base I'll build upwards so that it's on the same height as the base, just blocked out the shape of the base first. Then I'll add on some pillars and such.
After that I'll start bulking out the bottom a bit, and attach it to the "main base", and the carriers that I'm also working on.

So, I'm getting back into painting, but I noticed my bottle of Liquitex Flowaid has discolored and is now slightly yellow in hue. Should I replace the bottle?

if you're not trolling. Your paint is too thick, you're completely out of the lines and you have no depth. Strip and restart or stop being retarded.

>>51795574
Youre paints are too thick so your details are clogged.
You should strip it, because its not good looking unfortunately.. Depth means actually dimension to the model, it looks very flat as there is no shading at all. A simple nuln oil wash could fix them in the crevices.

She needs some serious shading. She looks incredibly flat and you can barely notice any recesses at all. That makes all this white look like a giant blob without any detail from a distance. Her head also looks unwashed and like it could need some more shadows.

The Doom board game counts as non-wargaming right? I've only ever painted a couple minis for D&D so I'm hoping to get better with practice. Painting the marines while waiting on some new paints for the demons

>>51797683
Yup, will get to that soon.
Gonna use transfers for that, just waiting on some now.

What happens to any green stuff on a model you want to strip?

>>51797724
Neat.
I liked what I saw of the miniatures that came with that game.

>>51798246
It depends on what you're using to strip with. In my experience Simple Green kept the green stuff hard and Super Clean turned it into well-chewed gum after a couple days.

Here's my head swap. Nothing super fancy and there are some pretty obvious flaws, but whatever. It suits my needs.

>>51798820

Clever, got a little laugh out of me. I might save that if they put out some new Tzeentchian heroes for the new Warhammer Quest coming out.

I was thinking for the Aspiring Deathbringer (guy on the left with the ax) I might cut the blade of the ax off and replace it with a saw blade to look kinda like the saw cleaver from Bloodborne, but I feel like that may not make him stand out quite enough.

>>51798846
well disregarding the joke suggestion, arm/weapon/head swaps would be the easiest way to get an immediately unique look

simply having the head looking in a different direction can sometimes be enough, honestly

I'm quite satisfied with the result, but I haven't got a clue on how the hell I'll paint the base! (I bought it pre-assembled)

Any tips?

Besides classic green, what skin color would you paint Ironjawz?

I'm thinking Red/Orange, or Black/Grey with maybe an albino or two in there

get a gallon jug of castrol super clean from your local hardware store (in the automotive section) and soak the models in it for 24 hours.

Wear gloves. It causes chemical burns.

>>51799562
Any tips for actually using the spray paint. I didn't even think I was putting on much

>>51799638

Shake it. Shake it a lot

Do a couple of test sprays. Spary itn extremely lightly, from a distance

Wait for a coat to dry before throwing another one on it

>>51796750
In what way is a wet palette sloppy? Tiles let the paint dry out just the same as any other dry palette.

thin your paints

>>51799905
Follow the instructions next time. Short bursts in one quick motion at the recommended distance. Practice on sprue. Spray it, let it dry, inspect it.

Strip it with simple green. Shit takes a ton of time and effort. Or buy some Super Clean and gloves.

I have been looking for this for a while and I can't find anything.

Can someone explain the concept of using a limited palette to me?

>>51799471
Thin your paints.

Save money buying only the basic colors and mixing those paints to get additional colors.

So, save cash and learn how to mix colors.

>>51800657
No, that's not what the painting technique is for. That's an excuse for poorfags not to buy paint. I want to know the artistic goal and theory behind limiting the palette.

>>51800803
Looks fine.

Can't really give any advice without knowing how far along you are and what you consider already finished. Anyway, maybe paint the leather straps holding the shin armour in a different colour to differentiate them from the horse's coat. And I'm assuming you haven't started highlighting the armour just yet.

I too am painting the Doom board game up.

don't know if it will be any use to you but I've been slowly making a tutorial on each model. I'm just finishing up the player character tutorial now and it's a bit late (usually do Friday uploads). They're at Paintingvideogames.com if you want to take a look.

Keep posting your work, it's cool to see others painting Doom stuff. Maybe try thinning your paints a little more and do a bit of clean up once the models done. You have red on the collar there.

Hello, /tg/, I usually lurk, been following the hobby but haven't worked on anything serious In a little over a decade. Still needs work, but you guys give good advice, thoughts?

>>51801684

Why does he look like he's covered is soot?

>>51801684
drill bolters. skulls and parchment looks bad, like you just washed the layer multiple times and didn't highlight at all. Black also looks pretty plain in the center, and things like the lenses on the sides of the helmet could use highlighting as well. (and honestly everything could just use more highlighting)

>>51801617
>taking the bait

cmon anon, let's not

>>51801684

I kinda like it. Still needs a bit of polish of course.
Overall the mini is quite dark and contrast is missing. You should drill the stormbolter's barrels and give the casing a red edge highlight.

The skulls need another layer of bone tone. Especially the helmet. The headlights on the armor need some special effects.
I like the sooty scrolls and the base btw.

>>51801818
Ya it's recognizable on this pic, what about table top distance?

You could resharpen the edges with fleshtone, and put lines in the tattoo using a brighter red to make it pop.
Freehand, especially on fleshtone, should never consist of only one color.

It was fine with my Vanguard, but now I'm trying to base my Onager my greenstuff is way, way too hard to work properly (I managed to pull my nail up some trying to set it).

I was rolling up new stuff every few bases, the onager has to be done in three parts from the size of the rollers

More wip, still need to clean up the gold and metal bits, need to paint the skulls, need to paint the cables and wires too.

How do I paint gold, my dudes?

>>51801121
Go to ebay and buy a hellhammer turret
Bam.

>>51803250
What sort of gold, bro? Shiny, Sigmarine gold? Old, burnished gold?

The story though, is a metallic gold paint (often over a brown undercoat for better coverage), something to make your shadows darker and less reflective (lots of opportunities to play with tone here, from near-black browns to purple to red), and then highlights up to silver on sharp edges. More than that and we're going into showcase level TMM or NMM.

>>51803250
depends on what kind of gold you want to paint. using gw paints=
dark gold=balthasar gold basecoat, agrax earthshade wash, gehenna's gold highlight over anything that isn't a recessed area, and a final touch of auric armor gold on small sharp edges.
bright gold=retributor armor, reikland fleshshade, auric armor gold, liberator gold (or runefang steel, or stormhost silver)
and thats just a few GW examples

>>51803250
literally just watch dunc vids

GW just does: base coat of gold, agrax earthshade wash, highlight of brighter layer paint gold. looks fine, see >>51802888

(GW also shops their box art but whatever watch the dunc vid)

>>51803388
Ok, because when I paint gold, The paint is weird, and even after 2-3 coats, there are still "holes" and even a shade and a layer can't really fix it

>>51803437
Might be old/dry paints. Are you sure you're using a base paint? Layer paints don't give as good coverage.

Or you're painting too thick.

>>51803437
Try undercoating brown.

>>51803388

That paintjob was probably done with the paint range that existed two generations back.

Should I drybrush this one with White Scar or do actual edge highlighting? Not sure what might look better.

Manual edge highlighting is definitely gonna take a while, though, I fear.

old mtg player here, really hooked by the painting and curious about playing Warhammer i ve been doing research about it all the weekend i wonder which is the best way to start playing warhammer? i ve read that right now is kind of cool for n00bs like me because of the death of Warhammer fantasy and the age of sigmar just begun so feels like i can just jump on the train.
I ve seen at GW website there is a starter box but feels like Portal set for mtg, is it worth it or if i show up to play with that at a warhammer shop ppl is going to bully me?
Any advice would be cool

tl;dr: n00b who knows nothing about Warhammer wonder where to start in the age of sigmar expansion. Feeling doubious about buying starter pack

>>51803976
Wait where was I for this. HOW DID I MISS THIS?

>>51803996
Thanks mate, I was actually surprised to find that is pretty close to the color it actually is, but since the game is all brown and great tones so it's hard to see what color it actually is.

>>51804004
Pick an army first. The starter box is a great value for just jumping in to open siggy games. I'm starting death, and the flesh eater court box, plus two boxes of ghouls is an instant army.

>>51804032
thanks for the advice anon.
I like orks, they are in the grand alliance destruction, are they god tier? which could be the best for n00bs alliance option?

>>51801650
Radical/10

>>51804004
you might also head to your FLGS and see if you can set up an introductory game, it's rare to find a group that doesn't want new player and if it's a Games Workshop, they definitely want you to play.
It'll be a good way to get a feel of the game, and make some friends that you can play with later.

>>51804004
This Q is better aimed at /AoSg/ >>51792511, but the starter box for AoS is good- if you want one of those armies. My advice is to choose your army based on the models you like, because you're going to spend a while painting them. Most of the start collecting! boxes are good as well, so don't feel confined to the starter set (they're not as efficient as the starter set, but they are good value)

If you want to go Stormcast, their half of the starter set is legitimately decent, and not a million miles away from lists that do well at tournaments. If you can find someone to go in on it with you, get two starter sets and double up on the Stormcast half (my local store manager will do this for a single person and just keep a doubled up box on hand for the next person who wants Chaos)

Neither army in the starter set will get you bullied, but like a noob turning up to FNM with their first deck, people with competitive themed armies will just end you if you don't add the right stuff to your list. Khorne particularly is vulnerable to fast or ranged lists just outrunning or outgunning what is fundamentally a slow melee army. Similar to mtg, you will have to work out whether someone wants a casual game or is bringing their finest cheese.

Also I painted my first batch of English Knights for a fairly big Agincourt diorama I'm putting together. Color scheme is fairly simple and I'm skipping a few smaller things like details on the faces since I'm painting like 150 guys to go on about a 2'x3' board. I really must invest in a proper lightbox one day.

>>51804209

at the FLGS, and as he's an mtg guy I assume he's fully capable of netlisting if he wants to.

>>51804403
The start collecting boxes are better value unless you're buying the khorne half online I believe.

>>51804469
Except that the SC SC! only makes sense if you already have a starter set, what with the two liberators.

Bear in mind that after your Battle Brothers vouchers (in a real GW) an AoS starter set costs 55 quid.

>>51804501
>two retributors

>>51804403
yes, i have seen few list of AoS but like mtg if you don't get the mechanic even with a god tier 1 deck you would beated by everyone. But a mid range army to get smoothy in the game would be nice. Any good netlisting site? Have checked few forums but everyone is pissed about sigmar and still talking about fantasy

First time painting minis, still unsure how I feel about the paint scheme. I keep feeling like it looks sloppy, but it will almost certainly look that way for Necrons because there aren't a lot of details to pick out if you don't stick with silver+wash. How do they look?

>>51799321
Can you tell if is have been glued using superglue or plastic glue? If it is superglue you can put him in the freezer for a while so the bonds get weakened and you can remove the base.

>>51799471
When working with sprays, specially eith new ones, always spray some old sprue first. Then spray one model. This way you never fuck up an entire squad.

The only thing you can do with these is to stripe them(super clean, brake fluid, or 96° alcohol)

>>51804646
Not bad for a first try, I recommend you look into dry brushing. While normally used for detail you can make some nice glow effects and it could really make your energy beams pop

I'm trying to emulate/adapt this guy's paint style (http://www.glaven.net/necrons/), since it's really close to what I had in my head for my army (energy blue necrons). Dark metal would probably make them much easier to be consistent, leadbelcher+ironbreaker+nuln oil usually works pretty well from what I've seen.

>>51804806
Yea, the stripes within the rods were my early attempts at what is essentially dry brushing, so for the future models I'm going to look into how to dry brush properly.

>>51805148
I Agee with other anon. It looks like a good base but as a silent hill fan it still looks a bit like a plain triangle rather than pyramidheads head. I would add a trim around the bottom and some texture to the pyramid itself. Like maybe a hammered metal look or some sort of grating effect.

Looking for some modeling advice for a Space Marine. I wanted to make a shooty infrantry HQ for some time and picture related finally inspired me to do it. So, rules-wise it will be a SM Techmarine on foot with the primarch's wrath and servo harness, meaning the following:

- power armor infantry, on foot
- bolter
- plasma gun with pistol range
- flamer
- power axe
- two power fists

Now I'm wondering how to fit all that on one model while keeping him looking like a sneaky commando AND satisfying WYSIWYG ?

I will probably get some recon marines from FW as the base, give him a stalker pattern boltgun from deathwatch, strap a plasma pistol to his hip but I'm not sure about the rest. Perhaps instead of a stalker use a combi-flamer and add a scope ?

If he's not a techmarine, what is he supposed to be?
My first though - because of the raven guard marine was to model the power fists as bionic raven claws on his feet like the chaos raptors sometimes have. But then I realized that you don't have a jump pack.
Putting all that gear into one mini without a servoharness is gonne be really difficult.
Next best thing I can think of would be to use marneus calgar for the fistyness and switch the bolters under his fists for the plasmakombi and a flamerpistol. The poweraxe could be modeled as a sidearm of held in one of the fists although that is really a lot of fucking gear.

In any case being sneaky with all that shit is gonna be a pretty tall order.
You could make up some commando tech that swallows sound or something, but still.

For mine I use:
overall basecoat of Doombull Brown

get a striking scoprion and lop off the head and leg, if you don't like the pose.
Tack extra bits and on as needed. You can probably find a nice banner top or helmetornament if you have a look around the fantasy bits stores.

That is some awful photography that needs resizing.

Model is fine for tabletop but almost everything needs more value contrast.

Model looks pretty nice but that base needs a wash and drybrush, looks like he's flying over a spongecake.

>>51804754
I messed up and used VMA Chrome as the base coat over a black primer. I used a LOT of wash to try to stain it down but it still shows.

I need a good stand-in for the old boltgun metal. VMC/VMA Silver is too bright, but VMC/VMA Gun Metal is way too dark.

Blue hat flash git needs some more wash on his weapon I think, and the whole bunch of them needs matte vanish still, but I was going to wait on that until the end.

>>51807723
I ended up doing many more layers than i would have liked on the faces and the contrast between layers was too strong. I could try to wash to smooth it out but I am also thinking it would be better not to add MORE paint right now.

>>51809602
Just mix some black into your VMA metals my dude.

It is a time of sadness, but with hope for the future. Stripping one of my first models (the first decent paintjob when i started this hobby a couple years ago, this guy was the inspiration for my color scheme, and my albino Kroot)

Time to soak him, and see what i can do, i guess. I really dont want to.

I hate NMM and think it always looks worse than actual gold, but I understand why people do it for better photography and to show off their painting chops.

Your gold is pretty nice though. A bit too brown for my tastes like most NMM.

I'm a big fan of SENMM though.

>>51799321
Could use some greens/blues for contrast with all that warm color. How about you drybrush some pinks and purples onto skin areas like the tail, and purple washes for bruising. Good luck with the base.

>>51797111
not sure how I feel about the power wire for the flamers.

>>51809763
>yfw this post is a reminder of just how old the original 6th edition releases are

It's been 4 years, and it seems even longer because GW releases so much stuff these days. What we still remember as "those brand new models we hate/love" are actually old shit that new players like this guy started with.

You're all officially 40k oldfags now if you've been playing since before 6E.

>>51802407
>>51802636
>Resin can be difficult and dangerous to work with. Not everyone likes the stuff.

I don't know that alone doesn't justify the price.
And for bases you only have to clean them and prime them, at most drill some holes to pin or cut some bits and pieces of to set the feet of the mini down.

Just seems pointless to me that they made the kickstarter producing the same bases for the same price just in a different material and under a different label.
Okay, almost the same bases. They are all made as inserts for round lipped bases, but still.

>>51810406
>You're all officially 40k oldfags now if you've been playing since before 6E.
started with my brother during early third. One of his friends still bought the 2nd edition starter because he was into orks.

Honestly though, WHFB is gone and 40k doesn't feel the same anymore. I think I'm ready to move on to greener pastures.

>>51810445
>Not getting cancer doesn't justify the price

>>51810481
People whine about this all the time, but it's not like one single corn of dust is gonna cause an explosion of tumors in your body.
Longterm exposure will do that, but if you are not sniffing resin dust for a living this whole 'muh cancer' stuff is just as retarded as the wiki link about inhaling fumes.

How do you even assemble a mini if you are so afraid of cutting yourself you can lift up a knife? It's taken for granted that you are not stupid enough to stab yourself in the face with it repeatedly.

>>51794804
Lad is that some fuckin' Nuln Oil I see?

Are you Duncan?

>>51810406
This is the first time I've ever been considered an oldfag, seeing as I bought my first White Dwarf (a while before any models) in 2006.

>>51809763
>stripping your first model(s)
Anon, you should keep him around. If he's the "turning point" for when you got better at painting then he's an important part of your development process.

So question for you Warmahordes painters.

Am I a faggot for wanting to drybrush beastie skin and Warjacks over detailing them like a Space Marine?

>>51810660
>Am I a faggot
Yes.
>detailing them like a Space Marine?
You mean line highlights?
There's no right and wrong when painting.
If the model has a texture that lends itself to drybrushing do that if you like the look of it.
Highlighting by hand is gonna take a lot more time though. Might look crisper though, depending on how good a painter you are.

In any case you can't do it 'wrong'.

>>51810654
I feel sorta like that too. Honestly he wouldnt look TOO bad with just a wash of nuln (this was just before i discovered washes. I taught myself how to paint, excluding critique from /wip/)

I just dont want to have a bunch of half decent, at least in my opinion, models with my big dude looking shoddy. And yes i count him as big, i am the anon building a Tau Auxiliaries army, so i dont plan on using anything bigger than him suitwise.
>>51810406
Idk what the new models are like, but i liked assembling and painting this guy. I saw someone with the new Broadside sprue, it looks pretty cool. Too bad im too poorfag to get one.

>>51810847
Just keep him around, dude. At some point you'll get another one of those anyway most likely and then keep the old one at home and take the new one out for playing. At some point it'll be cool to have that one dude looking mediocre amidst an army of better painted models but even then, he'll still be your dude and the forefather that had you rank up as a painter and enabled you to paint a better looking army in the first place.

>>51810614

Thanks, anon, i think i will keep him around. Rail Rifle Broadsides and Knarlocs have always been my favorite models, and most of what got me into it.

Thanks, always happy to offer advice to people. Also love the ridiculously gigantic cannon look of Broadsides, makes them look enough over-the-top than most other Tau units and fits much better into the silliness of 40k than stuff like Ghostkeels.

Should you wash GW stuff before you prime it?

I've heard that some companies use a spray to get the molds off after casting and it can cause the primer to not adhere properly

>>51811103
you should was every miniature, no matter where you bought it from before priming. Possibly even before assembly, depending on the material you are using. Plastic cement creates a chemical weld so that's not gonna be an issue, but whenever you use superglue it's a good idea to glue on a clean surface, unless you want your minis to fall apart in the future.

>>51811103

That's only for resin and metal. GW's plastic don't have any kind of residue that would prevent paint from sticking to it.

I've heard one or two people say they got oily plastic from GW and had to wash it, but that's probably 0.1%.

>>51811148
you can bet that after assembly and mold line removal you are gonna have at least the oil from your skin on them.
Imo you should always clean the models. Not a lot of work, but it can potentially save you a lot of trouble.

>>51811051
Yeah, I'll admit my mechaboner played a small part in my choice. Was either Daemons or Tau at first. But the image in my head of a suit slugging a heavy ass cannon like Serious Sam, too bulky to jumpjet, i was sold. Mobile Artillery and Gunlines, yes please.

>>51811184

Nah, because I'm not a greasy slob. I wash my hands before assembly and all my electronics don't have a single fingerprint on them.

>>51811198
>I'm not a greasy slob. I wash my hands before assembly and all my electronics don't have a single fingerprint on them.
it doesn't have anything to do with being unclean. It's how your skin works.
And if you really have zero humidity in your skin you should probably seek medical attention.

>>51811184
The reason your models are so disgusting is because you put as much care into your personal hygiene as you do into your capitalization.

>>51811225

Not everyone is a fucking manbeast like you who starts sweating grease from their fingertips after an hour of moldline shaving.

Wash your hands with soap and you won't have any oil that's visible or that will affect paint on the surface of the model. If we use your stupid ass logic, just handling the model for priming will get the same fucking skin oil on it after you're done washing the model anyway.

These threads inspired me to look into wargaming so today I took a stroll down to my local GW store to have a look and my god, these things are tiny. You know that these things are small but you cant appreciate it until you see them in person. I have a newfound respect for everyone in this hobby. I'm pretty intimidated now.

>>51811272

You get used to the smallness.

>>51794677

>>51811234
>>51811260
I know it's an automatic reflex for some fa/tg/uys to be smug assholes but this takes the cake.
If your skin was that dry it would crack and not stretch.

If you just give the mini a quick once over with a knife fine, but if you take your time with assembly and especially on larger or more complex kits it's a worthwhile consideration.

>>51794677
You're very skilled dude. Those look great.

>>51811297
>oil is what makes your skin flexible

You're a fucking retard.

>>51811297
There's a reason you and like two other people are the only ones who wash plastics and yet everyone paints them fine. Try to wrap your head around the fact that you're just a greasy faggot and not everyone is as disgusting and sweaty as you. Like they said, your handhelds are covered in smudges, fingerprints, and grease, aren't they? Don't think everyone is like you. Plenty of people walk around with perfectly immaculate smartwatches and laptops.

This nigga really trying to tell people to wash plastics, and if you don't wash plastics you have to see a doctor because you have mummy skin?

Fuck outta here. You have people who don't even wash metal or FW resin and you think ppl gonna wash plastic

I don't know if I'll be doing that in 2019. Nobody knows.

How does one pin a Tech-Priest Dominus?
I don't want to glue him to the blank base before painting the base and him but I'm lost on how to properly use pins on those ridiculously small claw legs.

Only thing I can think of is possibly trying to get the pin into the robe but that part also seems too thin for that.

They tell you that it's normally not necessary (for metal models no less) and that you just might have to do it if you fiddle around with your model for ages. Nowhere does that mention washing fucking plastic.

>>51811395

The moisture from the cheeto dust activates the cyanoacrylate in the glue and chemically reacts to form a harder bond.

>>51811579
Buy some Termagants or Hormagants, add a stomped/squished one under one of the feet and another being crushed inside the claw.

>>51808213
Saw that question way delayed and hoping you see this before thread death: layered Runefang Steel over Leadbelcher, followed up with 2 layers of Guilliman Blue, one layer of Waywatcher Green and top it off with another layer of Guilliman Blue. Finished up with fixing the edges with Runefang and voilá.

Blatantly stole that from some Thousand Sons someone posted on here once that used that technique.

>>51811579
Maybe put a foot forward and/or the other foot back, little bit of a torso twist, an arm out like it's shooting at something, so on and so forth.

Look at pictures, get some inspiration, come up with a pose you think is cool and go from there.

I tried out some test poses. Not really sure which ones I like.

Anyone know of any good free camera apps for Android? The fucking stock Camera app is horrendous. It tries to automatically adapt to light conditions, but it just makes everything not white appear pitch black. I have to shoot with flash on just to make things even appear.

>>51812140
I like #1. #2 is too much of a "Swiggity Swooty I'm coming for that Booty" pose wit those open claws, #3 looks like he's holding a presentation and explaining some graphs and #4 looks like a mix between cowboy and T-Pose.

I'd combine the first one with maybe the "dead enemies" advice from before, if you think you can pull it off.
