Working on a librarian conversion to ally in with my sisters - how does it look so far?

Worried that having the bike the same colour as her armour just leaves the model with not enough contrast.

Any tips on converting up Flayed Ones from Warriors?

I was thinking of building a warrior as is, but without their guns and instead i'll use Plasticard to make claws/talons for their hands instead.

Anyone got any pictures of Spess Shurks an anon posted a while back.
I remember he posted them for one of those "show how much you improved" posts. One of them was in Mark 7 armor and had very smooth white paint on the front of the faceplate.

They looked really good and I wanted to copy his scheme for a fun little one off squad I was planning to make.

>>52114079
Either are fine, but Word Bearers are close to my heart since their color scheme is so similar to Flesh Tearers.

Anyone know a good replacement for imperial guard arms, im planning on converting guardsmen to cultists but finding melee arms is tough. i know of the forgeworld ones and people use maruader arms but i think the big muscles dont suit them. any ideas?

>>52114283
chaos cultist arms?

>>52114297
they are shitty push to fit and just bad molds in general otherwise i would just go with regular cultist

>>52113509
Lotta work and parts put into a trolling mini but it looks good, weathering and using different tones of shade should solve the contrast issue for you though.

>>52114283
Victoria Miniatures has bare arms and prisoner arms with rags and chains around them.
Those might do the trick for yo, though she doesn't have that many melee arms.

You could also try to bits buy some beastmen arms or buy a boy of frostgrave soldiers/cultists/barbarians. The boxes are packed with bits and you can even use the crossbow arms with a bit of converting with lasguns. Most loadouts are melee weapons for obvious reasons though (Frostgrave being a game without black powder weapons).
And the bodies and heads are 1:1 compatible with GW stuff.

Just finished a Devilgaunt test scheme. C&C? I know the white came out a little thicc, but I can probably hone my skill on the other 40 I have to paint.

>>52114264
Is your masking not helping? Like is it bleeding through or something? I normally use blue painter's tape and that gives me a crisp line every time

>>52114445
looks lovely.
If you keep you the standard of painting across the whole army you're gonna have a pretty spectacular force.

>>52114264

Your motivation is a plastic tub and a half a container of superclean.

Give it a smooth recoat of primer and start over. The motivation is to make it look better than what it looks like right now. Slap that big ol' picture over your workstation right next to your mandatory Duncan photo and get to work. The detail and smoothness you will recover by stripping will be worth it in the long run.

>>52114436

Hey tg, haven't done any modeling or painting with warhammer since I was a kid, picked up some cheapo soldiers to test on, what went wrong? I thinned my paints and tried to layer and highlight properly, but it just looks like arse, any tips on where I cocked up would be appreciated

>>52114705
Sorry about the orientation, my bad

>>52114589
Stripping isn't necessary until it starts to become thick (it's just messy atm), and it's already been stripped twice so it's slowly becoming damaged (GW black primer melts into the plastic causing repriming to permanently increase thickness, the more you know)
I can probably recover it, once I finish the tank excluding details and weathering I'll post it here and decide then if it's worth stripping.
>>52114520
Yeah it bled through and barely stuck to the tank. I used generic white masking tape though. Might try that stuff on my next tank

>>52114714
The more egregious fault was probably the filesize, have mercy on poor rural posters like me.

>>52114714
Light paints can be tricky. They tend to crumb up and give you that kind of chalky look. The way I get around that is putting on one last, ultra thin finishing layer and that tends to smooth it out. Also maybe it's just the lighting, but it looks like you're lacking shading too. (Despite those pots of shade in the background) All of the colors just look flat.

>>52114810
I used shade but it made the model look a little messy, so I "neatened" up all the blotchy splodges, should I just shade carefully into the creases rather than just go wild?

>>52114535
Thanks! I just need to keep my motivation up to get the rest of these buggers done.

On smaller guys like guardsmen, You can all over shade their clothing and then neaten up with edge highlights. As a Nid painter, I know the woes of trying to carefully shade tiny models, "just hitting the recessed areas" on guardsmen will have you committing sudoku in no time

>>52114873
For that particular colour scheme, what colour would I be best priming? Last time I checked there was chaos black and skull white but I blinked and there are 6 million spray paints now

>>52114781
Definitely pick up some blue painter's tape. I've been fucked over numerous times by regular masking tape.

Anyone know where I can buy women in bikinis to serve as a base for Blood Bowl Amazon conversions?

>>52114852
Thanks anon!

It looks like you're on the right track though, just gotta keep practicing those skills like brush control and thinning to the right consistency. By the time you've painted your way through a few guardsmen you should be doing great.

/wip/ I beseech thee

I am in search of a Honored Imperium model. I am hoping to find the statute of the space marine.

My father is on a 2-8 month clock before cancer kills him. I want to find and paint one of the statues in his honor and memory and hope to showcase it to him before his death.

If it's hollow, I hope to use it as an urn for a portion of his ashes so he may eternally watch over his son upon the field of battle.

>>52114892
I'll plug Rustoleum auto primer until the day I die. They make it in a light grey in your case. It goes on even, leaves a nice matte finish, and acrylics stick to it like shit to a blanket.

Cheers mate, ill stick an update on when I have painted one thats a marked improvement, see you in a few decades

>>52114898
There are a few pewter Amazon minis I could point you to, but I think you might have the best success in a conversion from picking up something like a Dark Eldar Wyches kit, removing the edgy spikes to taste, and replacing the elf heads with some female human heads from a third party company.

>>52114958
that's actually a great idea--though bikini was more what I was going for. Can I see the pewter minis anyway?

>>52114927

https://www.forlornhopegames.com/collections/28mm-fantasy/amazons
https://us-store.warlordgames.com/products/amazon-1 (there's a couple more sets of them on here, this is probably your best option)

Only the last one there is bikini-wearing amazons. The big struggle with getting cheesecake minis is that they're usually only found as single specialty minis in pewter or some other material with a low setup cost, and often near-impossible to convert thanks to it, which was why I recommended the Wyches. Say what you will about GW, but their plastic kits are super easy to work with.

>>52115210
Stormcasts are almost the same size as a terminator, for a HQ like Dante that'll be a perfect size. I say go for it

>>52115232
If guilliman didn't have so much fucking iconography and inlaid detail he'd be modeled into my dad.

>>52115286
What kind of helmets?

>>52115210

Look at Sanguinary Guard parts. Stormcast legs should be fine, makes the marine taller.

>>52115286
they come with death-mask style helmets in the box, as well as punch-spike-style shields

alternative option would be the high elf shadow warrior helmets, but all the bits places seem to be out of them

A fun little model to paint. I went a little off the beaten path with the mask -- I was going for some sort of otherworldly valkyrie style thing, some sort of crazy nordic warrior woman. Most people paint this model as some sort of celt, which I can see, but for me something about her just said nordic so I went whole hog on the blue mask and golden hair.

Reporting because I wasn't able to ask the anons kind enough to give me feedback to elaborate.

First run with an airbrush, this is much harder than I thought. I tried my hand at zenithal highlighting and light blending but the white came out powdery and dull instead of deep and bright.

Two anons said I needed to glaze everything to bring the colors together and that I was using the wrong colors, but I'm not 100% where it was I went wrong in my color choice.

>>52115954

They told you to glaze because a blue glaze will saturate your blue, making it brighter. It will also tint your white highlights blue. Your problem right now is your dark blues are very dark, your white is not even blue, and you have very little mid-tone blue which is what's going to give you a vibrant blue.

So you're what, 40% too dark of a blue, 40% glaring white highlights, and 20% blue? Your model needs to be like at least 60% bright blue if you want a bright airbrushed model.

You COULD glaze it if you want. It's an easy all over process that will also wash the crevices for you.

What I would do, however, is either do all your shading and highlighting work with black and white BEFORE spraying blue, as most airbrushers do, OR simply cut back on the white highlights and use more bright blues. Your last highlight that's sprayed should be a light blue. Pure white highlights should never be airbrushed on unless it's a very tiny spritz on the very top tips of the model. If you ever bring your highlights all the way up to pure white, you're going to be doing it with a paintbrush on the edge highlights. White as a zenithal is NEVER the final product, it is a pre-shade.

>>52115954
I'm concerned about what you're holding on to the mini with (it appears to be nothing). How is your thumb & index finger not acting as a mask?

>>52116174

Even the alligator clip will mask something on the model if you don't have a bamboo stick or paper clip or something stuck in it. What you really need to do is become a mutant that's the plastic equivalent of Magneto so you can just levitate the model.

>>52114781
I've recovered models for about 5 years now, both plastic and metal, and ive never had a circumstance where my hypersonic cleaner and a little superclean have failed to pull off even the primer, and i have NEVER encountered the effect you are talking about. (but it does sound like corrosion damage, a side effect of stripping for too long) Also there are a multitude of sprays aside from GW chaos, the most pleb of primers. Maybe thats your issue right there, because from where im standing im telling myself it cant possibly look that thick on the model unless it was hellishly overprimed, which stripping will make quick work of. If it really is corrosion dmg then god help you.

Ether way, if you continue down your same course, good luck, because masking off of paint that thick would give me the heebie-jibbies. I figure i'll see the results sooner or later seince you post alot. GL

Here's a closer view to the thing that really gets on my nerves, the base. I can't seem to find a decent color to convey "Dusty Steppe-ish wasteland with rocks". Probably doesn't help I had this silly idea of making it a "desert" base and painted the rocks brown.

Go ballistic on me, pls, I really need to improve my shit and dunc's has done fine to help me pick up the basics again, but I guess I need way more practice.

Also thanks to that anon who told some other anon to turn off "autofocus" and set "Macro" on their phone for taking pics of minis, now my pics are not that blurry.

My roommate already primes my model and it's a chore to get that done

So do people use the Duncan method and basecoat/wash/shade/highlight everything of one colour before starting on the next one, or do every basecoat, then every wash, etc, etc?

>>52121984
The former. It is quite difficult to paint large elements (like armor, etc.) without accidentally painting over details.

If you do all elements at once you need to be really fucking precise.

>>52121866
With a proper mask and spraying outdoors, you risk about as much spraying aerosols as when you're breathing air.

>>52121984
Depends on the model. Some models it's just more efficient to do it the Duncan way, but on others I have no idea why he'd ever do it that way
(Do the gold first on thousand sons springs to mind)

>>52121984
Not even trying to be a dick, but really, it depends. Generally speaking, if I'm going to wash two contiguous areas with the same wash then I will do both basecoats and wash them both at the same time. Other times I will do one section at a time. Sometimes I don't even wash because I don't think it's something which should always always be done.

I'm pretty new to painting. This is like my 10th ever model and my first model bigger than a chaos terminator. Feel like I bit off more than I can chew here. He's far from finished, still have to finish the metal and gold parts as well as drybrush the skin and wings. Not to mention finish painting the staff and clean up all the little painting errors. First time i've posted on here too was just curious to see if the colour scheme at least works.
And apologies for my phone camera.

As a guard player, this is the only way you can feasibly complete an army within a reasonable time frame.

Batch painting is the way to go, and his guardsmen video is pretty accurate for how to do it best.

Anon your choice of paints is fine, the problem is, it seems, when you're applying your higlights youre putting them everywhere, instead of just the raised ares, which is basically just coating it again.

You should try applying every brighter layer on the RAISED areas, like in the pic related (the upper parts of the shoulder pads, the helmet, backpack vents, knees, etc), and finishing it all of with an edge highlight.
For said edge highlight I recommend just adding some white to your yellow.

Looking forward to the unit shots my dude. Skin could be highlighted further but the unit will still look great when they're done.

>>52121984
I tend to do basecoats, washes and then the first layer of each colour seperately, then touch everything up before doing all the highlights at once. The only reason for doing so is I'm shit at keeping things neat, so I'm guaranteed to get some splash onto other bits, which would make going up to highlights on one bit a waste of time.

I think you realize a lot of the issues already, anon. The edge lines are definitely too thick and so is the paint, a little. From what I can tell, the weathering on the legs and feet is not bad, but as you go up the torso and onto the arms it becomes unnecessary. The sand of the base is good, but as you pointed out the brown looks a little artificial, like a half-buried tarp disguised as a rock. Go for more of a lighter gray maybe?

Start with left, but tone down the face a bit, and then fade the "hair" out to the overall body colour quite quickly.

>>52125206
The plan is the whole body will be the same colour as the face, just did both faces to see which I prefered

Why does GW recommend using Bugman's Glow and Reikland Fleshshade for skin? Even after layering on Cadian Fleshtone and Kislev Flesh I end up with unnatural looking red skin. I have much better success starting with Cadian Fleshtone and a brown wash.

Thanks man. I'm thinking about stripping this guy and re-priming him directly in Zandri dust, as I initially (and stupidly) went with a couple of steel legion drab before layering zandri 2-3 times. Luckily it hasn't clogged any detail, and just looks pasty and clumpy.
The base's sand is basically Tausept Ochre washed heavily with old GW Brown Ink and drybrushed with another pass of Tausept Ochre then a lighter pass of Ushabti Bone. I was rather unsure initially of what kind of scheme to go with it, so it too has been layered with quite a few passes of other colours before settling on this. If I were to redo the base, which one of these would look better?

1- Dark grey with light grey drybrush
2- Light grey with sand colour drybrush
3- Dark grey with light grey drybrush with a lighter sand colour drybrush

>>52125341
Duncan basically does this. He layers the Cadian on top of the bugman's before using the reikland.

>>52125533
Sparingly.

>>52125533
Give the pot a good shake.
Get a brush you don't love (because you sure as hell won't afterwards), apply to weapons.
Drybrush orange over areas you want to be full-on rusty once the Typhus has dried.
Drybrush or edge highlight with steel on the very edges where the rust has worn off to reveal bare metal.

>>52125606
Not subtle then?

>>52125533
easier to add than take away

>>52125341
I didn't see the point in Bugman until I had to paint an army of topless bastards, at which point its better coverage really speeds things up compared to starting from Cadian.

So treat Cadian as your mid-tone of unhighlighted, unshaded flesh, and paint accordingly. You can build up to it via Bugmans if that helps, but remember that you could be covering all of the Bugman's and it will still be making a difference.

You can try using a light wash of Reikland to give depth and then relayer your Cadian everywhere but the recesses. Consider shifting to Cadian / Reikland / Kislev as well, as you're obviously going for a lighter flesh tone.

Pic related uses Bugman, Reikland and Cadian, but also goes up into Kislev and Flayed One for the top highlights, in case that's closer to what you're after?

>>52125766
I really wouldn't, but washing over it to tie different areas together can work.

I'm the anon that was painting the lord of change (it's virtually finished now), would the new bloodthirster model be easier to paint than the new lord of change was?

>>52126420
I imagine if you followed the Duncan tutorial it would be a similar experience.

>>52125948

They don't have to be blue, they just have to be obviously a librarian. Usually this means a force hood, staff, wavy patterns on axe or sword, and tabards, as you can find on all librarian models.

>>52126420
Just looking at the Lord of Change I can say the Bthirster is way easier

It's perfect.

How well does resin survive the cold?

I have a Chinaman order coming Monday and not Tuesday as expected, which means it'll be sitting in 35-40 degree weather for 2-6 hours till I can get home to bring it inside. Will it be fine? (And if not, will it be fine after it heats back up?) I've worked with resin plenty before, it's just never been out in the cold. Never know if there's some fragility issue or something.

>>52127040
Mil consistency. I always thought it was some bullshit measurement until it was explained by some guy with a test tube.

Water goes down the tube without a trace.
Milk goes down the tube slightly slower and leaves a fait trace behind. That's how your paint should behave.

Don't forget to not overload your brush. To make sure you don't, lightly make the side of your brush a towel, don't rub it, just slightly touch i so that humidity goes in the towel thanks to capilarity. Turn it over and do it on the other side, and you should have the paint you want.

>>52127040
I usually do it as one dab of paint from the pot, two dabs of water mixed in. remember, two thin coats is always better than one thick coat, so it doesn't matter if the primer shows through after the first coat.

>>52127079
resin should be fine with a little cold, there's a reason dismantling resin models glued with superglue is done in the freezer. A few hours in cold weather above freezing won't do anything.

Good to know. And if it's below? Weather here swings like a daemonette on a pole, for all I know it'll be 25 instead of 35 (or 45 instead of 35, who knows). We've already gone from 70 to 25 in under two hours this past month.

>>52127216
since it can handle a few hours at -5 F with no trouble what-so-ever (in said freezer), I imagine a few hours at 25 won't do much to it either.
Hot weather is far more of a hazard than cold.

That hair is AWFULLY yellow there m80. You might want to try to make it seem more blond and less yellow.

Anyone have any experience with P3 Ink/washes?

I agree, gonna fix it or just replace the head with a helmet one. I tried to do something new with the hair using Flash Gitz Yellow and Reikland Fleshshade but it still came out too yellow. Guess I'll just go back to Tallarn Sand as always.

Doing some painting practice on some throwaway metal models I have. Wishing I would have just done multiple layers of the GW Yellow Glaze instead of using Averland Sunset. The latter is much more of an yellow-orange than the mustard yellow I'm going for. I guess I'll do another coat of Averland then do a layer of Yriel all over to brighten it up before drybrushing and washing.

Think I'll just redo the whole head from scratch, I know I can do better. Question for the thread though, is rubbing alcohol any good for removing paint? Tried it once with an arm I did too thick and it seemed to work fine, but want to know if it's proper or not.

I like the cut of your jib, Flesh Eater bro.

need help sourcing bases.

decided to go with clear acrylic bases fo my army.
sourcing the circle bases is easy,and I've found a couple of sellers that do pill bases for bikers and the large oval for flyers.

I just can't find anyone who does a clear acrylic oval base big enough for a 40k Knight, anyone know somewhere that sells them?

or will i have to find someone with a laser cutter who'll do a custom job.

Funny. I wish the Blood Angel one had a Drop Pod instead of a Rhino. I already have 6+ Rhinos but only 2 Drop Pods.
Anyway, your Rhino looks pretty clean there anon.

So what paint range is a good base range to start with?

Guy on left was first attempt at skin, guy on right 2nd. Think I'm getting a better understanding of how to highlight. Sort of don't really understand how the top of the delts and lats should be painted, since I would think if the light was shining from above the entire area would be bright and in the highlight colour.

With this little wash dry, I think I'll have all the yellow armor done sans the backpack. Now I just have to do a few tin bitz, the eyes, and one or two black bitz. Then I have to start on the pauldron. May god have mercy on my soul....
He's also much more orange in real life sadly. I wish he was the color in the photo.

Does anyone think I should add some snow to the tracks and such? And if so, how do you do that?

The tracks definitely need some dirtying up. Especially considering the other mud marks. I like the camo.

I think it'd look nice. No offense, but the tin bitz seem to be the weakest part of the job. Covering them up with dirt and/or snow would go a long way in improving the model I think.

Whats some good non-PC painting forums?

>>52131724
The snow looks good but you need some grime. Why would the dozer blade have dirt stains while the tracks stay clean?

>>52131773
There is dirt on the tracks though?
I probably didn't put enough snow on the plough then, I assumed when a tank track spins it doesn't actually cause the dirt to spread out violently on the top of tank because newtons first law of forces and thus stay more concentration on the bottom.
