WIP - Painting/Converting/Sculpting General

Does anybody here have any experience with green stuff recasting? I got some used blackknights and some of their shields are missing, so that seems like the best solution.
Also how is the black/white miliput compared to green stuff?

is this any kind of good deal?

I used oyumaru and gs to cast spare bits for base decorations, and it works pretty well.

It's a bit of a hassle to prevent bubbles and defects, but it's possible. I found it really helps if you heat up your gs in a cup of hot water before you knead it and cast with it. It flows much easier.

what do you guys usually do when you're missing one color you can't mix? you only need that color for 1-2 models tough

>>52170806
I usually just suck it up and drop the $4.25 at my flgs. Sucks though.

What color should I paint the gemstones?
I am thinking of going with either green, blue or purple. Green would be the most obvious choice, but I fear that it would make that color too prominent on the figure, given that the canopies are already green.

>>52172278
I can see what you mean. Its just missing the grin.

>>52172452
Cheers man, I have no intention of changing it to be honest.

>>52172504
I did think that. It was originally for a city fight board (hence the grey) but felt the battlements suited grey more than Red. It can be some special concrete manufactured especially for bunkers or some shit.

Greetings /wip/
I come seeking guidance with the use of washes. I have some vallejo black wash and an old ass pot of badab black but both make the fatigues on my troopers look like a shop rag after an oil change. Is there a wash that is more optimal for such a light grey?

>>52173506
You want a regular acrylic medium like GW's Lahmian or Vallejo Matte Medium, then thin your paint down with medium and water until it has the right consistency to flow into the recesses. The medium helps it stay actually like paint at that consistency instead of separating, as it would with just water.

Is it true that you can use Lahmian Medium as a brush on matte varnish? Anyone can confirm?

>>52173601
More of a satin but it does dull down gloss varnish and decal shine.

>>52173615
Could it be recommended as a brush on protectant coat?

No

Hey /wip/, I need some advice.

I'm going to sit down and paint my Visarch and I'm planning to go for a Red/Green contrast between the armour and blade/gems. See the Blood elf for the shade of red and green I'm planning to go for.

However, I'm kind of stuck on what colours to paint the cloak, belt/loincloth and fur. I'm considering some shade of white/offwhite for a similar contrast between the red armor and flesh that the blood elf has, but I'm not sure that'd work with cloth and it leaves me still guessing as to what I'd paint the fur. So, what'd you suggest?

And secondly, what greens would you suggest I use to get that kind of green colour the blades and gems have?

>>52173780
I think you should go with gold as your colour for the cloth and fur, I remember a lot of that around last time I went to silvermoon

>>52172101
>cool ideas for foundries
Here's some awesome industrial terrain ideas: http://s3.zetaboards.com/The_Ammobunker/topic/176679/1

>>52173780
Dark violet's always an option. I seem to remember that being an accent colour on blood elf shit.

Alternatively a darker red, if you want to take full inspiration from your right image. With an orange for the fur, mimicking the blood elf hair.

>>52173222
>that flier
holy shit it's so ugly why would you buy that

>>52171238

>>52173922

>>52173937

>>52173967

>>52173890
This is awesome. It'll give me some great ideas. Thanks Anon.

>>52173898
>Dark violet's always an option. I seem to remember that being an accent colour on blood elf shit.
I've seen several other dudes do that on Visarch's cloak when I've googled around for inspiration. I'm not entirely sure I like it, but that might be those guys execution. I'll definitely consider it, though I'd probably not go for the orange/gold-yellow fur you suggested if I go for a violet cloak.

>Alternatively a darker red, if you want to take full inspiration from your right image
Doesn't that run the risk of being too much red? I can see it working, since I'm going to go Mephiston Red->Nuln Oil->Evil Suns Scarlet edge highlight->Wild rider red extreme highlight for the armour. So, basecoating the cloak in Khorne red or a similar red shade and washing it with nuln oil might work.

>With an orange for the fur, mimicking the blood elf hair.
Might work. Though it might detract from the model since it covers a lot more area compared to the orange/gold hair of the blood elf. Though I'm considering something similar to Duncans Visarch fur video, but going to white rather than grey for the fur.

>>52174099
>Doesn't that run the risk of being too much red?
Nah. That's what the gems, sword, straps and tabard are there to prevent.

>it might detract from the model
Provided you keep your green real bright, that probably won't be a huge problem. But bone/off-white fur could also work.

how terrible are cans of propellant if I wanna hold off for a bit on buying a compressor?

>>52174150
>Nah. That's what the gems, sword, straps and tabard are there to prevent.
True enough. Would you suggest keeping the tabard off-wite like the studio model?

>But bone/off-white fur could also work.
I'm also considering of copying the fur this guy pulled for his Visarch.

>>52174209
>Would you suggest keeping the tabard off-wite like the studio model?
yes

>I'm also considering of copying the fur this guy pulled for his Visarch.
The blue tint might be overkill with the red/green contrast already present.

>>52174279
>The blue tint might be overkill with the red/green contrast already present.
Depends a bit on the colour of the cloak, doesn't it? With dark violet it could help make the transition less glaring, wouldn't it? Though I agree with its potential for overkill if I go for a red cloak.

>>52174338
>With dark violet it could help make the transition less glaring, wouldn't it?
Nah, if the rest of the mini was cool colours maybe, but we're talking bright reds here. You want warm colours to bridge the gap.

I've decided I want to convert a Genetor Mechanicum army, got a fairly good idea of what I want to have escorting my Whale-stormbird when I find the right model to convert from, but I'm stumped for a secondary colour. Anyone have any suggestions for a colour scheme for the Genetors? Was thinking bronze armour for the big monsters and Magi (Duncan's SoS tutorial plus Nikhilakh oxide, I think) what would look suitably mad science along with the creepy green syringes and pale flesh? Need a secondary colour for Secutarii and Magos robes and vehicle armour, since having metallic bronze plating with metallic dark metal trim is slightly metal overload as far as I can tell.

>>52174370
>You want warm colours to bridge the gap.
Hmmm, true. So a warm off-white or the gold blonde on the Blood elf for the fur would probably work best then.

What do you think of doing the same transition like on the Visarch I posted, but going from blonde/gold-orange to white for the fur?

>>52174423
That'd look pretty cool, I think.

>>52174449
Yeah, just now realised it'd be similar to the fur on the White Lions of Chrace, pic related. And since I chopped off the spike on the Visarchs helmet and replaced it with a top-knot from the White Lions kit it'd work pretty well I think.

Thanks for being a ball-plank, Anon.

>>52172101
One idea I had for a forge board was to cross an entire board with a thick wall that's clearly been hit by bombardment - possibly capped at each end by a tall 'framing' piece that's very tall and implied to continue upwards, representing where the building is intact - and have one side be the inside of a forge, with the idea that the battle is over the breach in the wall - the defenders are either securing it or are about to spill from the factory like a disturbed nest of ants, while the attackers are trying to storm the breach.

Any defences should be extremely makeshift, and depending on how much of the board you want to be martian soil it might even be a race for the breach - one side running across the factory floor (or possibly hanging back in a load of machinery and shooting whoever gets to the breach), one side trying to scramble up and enter the factory.


Other battlefield-dividing features are also good: rivers of molten metal with bridges, big vats, pipelines, raised assembly lines - stuff that can be hidden behind, fought over, used for tactical advantage.

Waste heaps might be useful, just a big pile of dirt or scraps, and a very re-usable terrain piece. If you want something involved consider an archaeological site or a large admech vehicle

Large machines like generators, fuel tanks, pumps, cranes (good for adding height) and simple storage units are good for breaking up the battlefield - too many wars are fought on parking lots and croquet lawns

>>52175391
Thats actually a fantastic idea anon, i may pinch the wall idea for my Mars board.

A very good point too, i really want my boards to be interesting and a joy to play on instead of the usual kellogs box buildings and pringles tin towers.

What colors do you guys use on your bases? I always use mournfang dry rushed with bone but these new guys are doing are mostly mournfang so I want a different basing scheme for them.

That sounds really damn cool. When I had a decent force done I was going to build them a "Home base", since they're an Explorator Fleet turned colonists who decided to settle in an asteroid belt. May steal a good few of those ideas, although they're not quite fuckheug enough for a wall that big.

>>52176478
>>52176530
Yeah, taking a break is always good. Spend time on other hobbies for a while and recharge.

I also find it really helps if you make yourself a little dedicated workspace for your modeling, so you dont have to drag everything out and go through the motions every time you want to slap some paint on.

>>52173357

Well, its green with a black/brown wash over it. Nothing more to say really.

As I mentioned before in earlier posts, its flat. Yes, I can see you painted it in dark gritty colors but its still not justifying it to be grimderp, its just flat!

You need to go back and start working on your highlight game. Hell, even working on your drybrush to save time could lift this model up a few notch. But base + wash does not justify "finished" in my book.

Cool model though, and you have a solid start to make something out of it.

>>52176605
Well, the latter part is impossible, I have less than a hundred square feet of total living space. But maybe it is time to step away.

>>52175760
not every single part needs to be primed, you can hand paint in any missed areas with the same colour paint. This is standard.

>>52176865
You remind me of the Wrathlord guy. You should learn to take a picture

>>52176748

>>52177268
Isn't that about how thin I want it if I'm making a wash? That's about the thickness I went with when using abaddon black on the grey pants/cloth areas.

Every bit of paint was applied with a fine detail brush that was damp, with barely the tip having paint on it.

>>52177385
This kit is one of the most flavourful sets GW has ever released in terms of cool characters in it in my opinion. Do them honour, anon

>>52177429
You're a new painter so you have no idea how to control paint yet. Paint thickness varies by job but the full fat milk consistence is generally where you want to be for most jobs.

You don't put just the tip in the paint, you want to have some paint in the brush so you're not putting dots all over the model but smooth strokes. You know those shitty clip art pictures of half a brush splonged with paint? That's pretty much what you want.

I finally got around to painting my first Rhino, for the Raven Guard.

It looked very bland, so I took some white crayon, looked up the chapter's symbol and added a freehand (the first I ever tried) to the top hatch.

How did I do?

>>52177524
>Crayon
Huh.
I've seen examples of using a soft pencil to do outlines and going over that with paint, but not crayon. Was the paint not sticking to the wax a problem?

>>52177499
Thank you. I haven't really been able to get anyone to tell me this much.

Should I use a whole milk consistency every time for now?

>>52177617
It's some fancy spanish crayon of room mate's I found laying around. Very soft but otherwise just like any good quality crayon.

It says here it's made for glass and plastic and shit, so I figured it would do - and it did wonderfully. Didn't feel any difference when applying paint over it.

>>52177385
I really want Colonel Schaeffer but I don't want to pay for the rest of the last chancers

>>52177641
It's an art not a science. Start with milk and then adjust as you need it. Some times you will want thinner some times thicker. Buy some Reaper bones cheapos and throw paint at them to see what works for you. Everyone has their own style.

>>52171047
Thats pretty cool, How did you make the wraps?

>>52177781
Thank you. Gonna go murder some minis with paint now.

>Simple Green somehow strips all the paint and primer off the model
The fuck? How are you getting results like that? Even with scrubbing my simple green can't eat through primer in the slightest, and I'm using the concentrated solution.Tell me your secrets, anon.

>>52178414
Imperial fists?

Isee some Ceramite white in there, if you want to paint white you're better off basing Celestra grey, then ulthuan grey and edge highlighting pure white.

>>52178414
That one chapter with the red and yellow checks

>>52178320
Cheers dude. I hated the fact that Forgeworld gave him that bald Down syndrome head, despite the fact he is described as having short blonde hair. So when trying to decide on another head i settled for Lugft Hurons as its probably my favourite head sculpt they've done.

>>52178414

Looks like these particular models weren't primed. Otherwise, I just let them soak in a bucket of simple green for 24 hours, then scrub them with an old toothbrush. Paint comes right off. There will be spots where the brush can't reach, I use a toothpick to get those.

>>52177385

So it seems the person I bought these from had a couple of models mislabeled. I found Scope in a box of random snipers, and Hero was listed as a Lord Commissar. So now I've got all the Chancers complete, but that leaves 2 models he'd listed as Last Chancers, and I'm confused. One is a Catachan with boltgun and power fist, on the tab for the base it's labeled "GUARD". Probably just a regular guardsman, I'm guessing. The other one though... it's a female Catachan with a grenade launcher. Haven't managed to pop her loose from the base yet so I don't know what the tab says, but does anyone have any ideas?

>>52178622
Boltgun+Powerfist sounds like one of the old captain minis

And the female sounds like a limited edition mini

>>52173924
hmm, I was thinking of getting a recast, but wasn't sure about quality. getting it just for the weapon though... that seems like a great idea for doing a tribune, especially since you're always going to give him a shield.

Okay so GW may have been out of the Immolator, but the exorcist was in stock. And as it turns out, it has the fucking Immolator Sprue with the Helmeted Sisters head I wanted.

So question, nerds. Should I wait a bit and recast the helmet a billion times before setting it into Greyfax's body to make a cool looking conversion for a Canonness?

I just happened to finish my first ever mini!

A beautiful Emperor's Children dude, and painting it in purple seemed perfectly fine.

But only 30k EC is purple. Chaos EC is more like pink... and that's all the purple you'll really find in warhammer, I think?

>>52178769
Those are the ones. Neat, I'll include them with the rest of my Catachans I guess.

>>52178867
>Should I wait a bit and recast the helmet a billion times before setting it into Greyfax's body to make a cool looking conversion for a Canonness?
I'd do it and actually did it. If you plan to make an actual Immolator with the rest of the kit, then it'd be a good idea to make a mold of the helmet since the unhelmeted sister head is kinda meh.

>>52179027
Any good mold making tutorials then?

>>52180341

Nah, nothing could save them. I bought a few leman russes and basilisks off ebay, sunk them in simple green, waited a day, and nothing happened. I even tried acetone. Still nothing. I emailed the guy asking what he did, and he told me he applied some sort of aerospace protectant coat they use on fucking metro train engines, so the paint would never come off. I was pissed off, since I bought those tanks as a rescue job. I tossed them weeks ago, and bit the loss.

BEHOLD, HIS TEACHINGS ON VOLCANIC BASES IN ACTION!

Fun fact, being a dude and lacking a hairdryer, I used a microwave to make sure I'd get the cracks on the base and the shield of my Stormcast.

Pretty happy with the result, it was worth filing down the engravings on the shield.

>>52178921
Looks like he sprayed it brown, then put down some masking tape where he wanted the first brown to show through, and then sprayed a lighter brown over the first.

It looks more like it's been under the influence of sea water for a century or two - you might be able to live up that salt-corroded appearance by adding in some greenish, corroded tinges here and there in some of the areas where it didn't quite work to just make it look like he's just done some accidental scuba diving for a century or two.

Ok so far, but you need to go back and re-shade it so that the shade is in the right place (around the hatch is a good example). And for god sake, don't just airbrush it and call it a day, go through with it and give it an edge highlight, a pin-wash, weathering, you know, the works! But your on a first step of having a great looking model here anon.

So I have a bunch of spare Scions arms legs and heads sitting around since I used their torso's for a conversion, and I've been trying to figure out something to do with them. Someone showed me a picture of a Scion with what they claimed was just a regular cadian's torso, and It looked pretty decent, but when I went and looked at the cadian models today in the shot it looked different than the picture. Can someone perhaps provide a picture of this conversion before the arms get put on? Or at least tell me how you think it would work/look before I go and pop for the plastic to try it?

>I think highlights and shades is a term for cartoony

Yes, you used that argument before. But looking at that illustration is a perfect example of proofing your theory wrong. Its a limited pallet looking at it first glance, but when you go deeper you can see the full range of colors used to create the effect the artist was looking for. This picture is not only displaying great zenithal highlights, it also use that highlight to define the muscularity of the beast perfectly! It also shows us that this beast has spots on the skin, as well as darker skin towards the ends of his limbs. You can really see the veins pop, contrast with well placed shade.

So despite being on a limited pallet, this artist has created a beast with depth! It has a natural light, combined with shades and highlights that makes its features stand out. And when we look close, we discover new aspects of this creature being revealed! This picture is a great example of grimdark.

Im not trying to be mean, I'm just saying, your model is looking flat, you can accept it and try to do better, or you can keep being in denial.

>>52177066
Show us a pro / display paintjob you like and we'll get talking about contrast.

They didn't originally, but do now.
Their Chapter was founded after the Ad Mech took BA geneseed and science'd it to try to remove the flaws. It worked for a time, but suddenly came back at ridiculous strength and crippled the Chapter.

WTF is with the legs? Everything below the waist looks like play doh.

>>52186839

The honest answer is that I suck with greenstuff. Don't really give a shit though, did the best I could and I'll only get better with practice. Besides, I don't think it looks that bad personally.

Question to anyone who painted his AoS Tzaangors.

Is it possible to paint them with 2h weapons fully assembled or it's better to keep arms separate?

>>52186781
Is it all greenstuff?

>>52187203

Yes actually. Sculped the hair legs and robes. Used molds to make the pauldrons and torso's and heads and whatnot.

>>52171047
Would also make good Malal lesser daemons.

>>52184649
>Doesn't know what Zenithal is

>>52186781
legs look good at best. those clothes just look fucken dumb and exactly like play-doh. I'm sure they'd look fine at a distance/painted half decent though.

>>52185792

I love your DKK. It's really good.

With GW sprays, do I still need to prime the model as usual or does the coloured spray take care of that?

A few threads ago I asked how to paint dark purple and someone posted a picture of some marines which had been based black, washed purple, and highlighted.

If whoever posted that is still here, please post it again since I can't find it and forgot to save it.

Apart from being from a shitty chapter, TTP/10, there's room for improvement though.

Anons, does anyone has an idea how to make Chaos Bikers not look like shit? They are great in the game, but I resent the idea of buying these butt-ugly, monopose models

>>52189682
Why not just buy ravenwing bikers and paint them as fallen then?

>>52189697
They are almost the same as Chaos ones, but with wings

>>52189682
What kind of chaos marines do you play anon? You could make some god specific conversion, maybe use the forgeworld bikes or hoverbikes.

>>52189722
Raven wing bikers look amazing and are highly posable, i dont know what you are talking about

Besides them all bikers have the same form

>>52189755
>are highly posable
Oh? Really? So you can model one mid-turn etc?

>>52189744
Death Guard

>DG Bikes are unfluffy
I know, but so are Raptors, and /40kg/ told me bikes are too good to pass up.

>FW bikes
I like them, but can't justify paying so much money

>>52189788

I do no know what >>52189755 is talking about.

The Ravenwing bikes are identical, save for the wings, as regular bikes.

>>52178102
What minis were used to make this one?

>>52189788
You could order a set of https://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-WW/Death-Guard-Conversion-Set from the based chinaman to make some cool death guard bikers. Alternatively you could look for some MK III space marines (see the Burning of Prospero boxed set) and convert from those to get some really cool bikes.

>>52189788
>>52189837
As a dark angels player i can tell you that the only thing that is similarare the legs and thats it, the legs are not posable, but literqlly everything on the model can be posed to your liking since it comes in a multi part kit like normal space marines do save for the legs

>>52189874
What about the bikes, not the riders?

>>52189788
No, keep the Raptors. Raptors are cool.

>>52188937

>>52190261
If they are anything like jump pack marines then maybe, it depends on how you use them

As shock troops they are pretty good but dont expect them to bunker down and hold objectives for long, like bikes, they are good at taking temperary objectives and relics

You underestimate how lazy LGS staff are

>>52190500
Yep. I got back into wargaming and bought a Bolt Action set and I bought the infantry sets for painting the minis but damn Vallejo is weak paint.

I've found as well people hate citadel paints but I've found them on average better than Vallejo just cause I can water citadel down whereas Vallejo is like watery soup

>>52190549
it's not really that they're thin so much as prone to separation.

>>52190549
Vallejo makes really good silvers and golds

Were i find they really suffer is there blues and brows for some reason they are shitty

But the rest excluding yellow are top tier

Also what line of paints are you getting? Are you getting the gaming or model colors?

>>52190567
yeah that's it, prone to separation. God knows how many I've shaken for a couple of minutes only for it to separate when squirting on my palette. A long gooey strand of clear liquid with a little bubble of color in the liquid
