I'm trying to convert roboute gulliman(?) into lion el'jonson, and this is my first serious attempt on working with greenstuff, and it's breaking my balls and spirit. My entire model and work place is covered in vaseline because i wanna avoid fingerprints on the greenstuff...

Not bad! You can use a brush that's wet with a bit of water to smooth out the surface of the GS without deforming it.

Hope that helps.

Fuck!

Also, getting back into the hobby after a gods-only-know long hiatus. First model, watching all the Duncan tutorials to help with painting.

i hope the photo isn't too bad

I just picked up a couple packs of WizKids' new pre-primered minis. Word to the wise: make sure you scrub the shit out of them. My paint did not want to stick on the one I started, and I wanted to get started on it right away and didn't scrub it. Huge mistake. Otherwise, the details are okay for what they are. I bought the pack of Kobolds, and the facial details are muddled, but I assume its because they're small. The whole "leveled up adventurer" is a cool idea, but you can totally get away with using them as two different characters. Overall, 7/10. If they continue to put out minis, while keeping old stock "in print" they'll definitely give Reaper a run for their money. At my FLGS, they were actually cheaper or nearly identical in price than Bones.

I don't have any WIP or completed pics because I'm at work

>>52553013

Does the mint in-box model of Artemis come with a helmet option?

>>52553106
Afaik it doesn't.
The helmets were part of the bitspack range for Inquisitor.
I know that there have been some inconsistencies with the exact contents of the Inquisitor miniatures though, it could be possible that later runs might have had it.
Usually you only get the unhelmeted version of him though.

The helmets are exceedingly rare these days.
It's the reason I'm asking if the plastic Gulliman fits in terms of scale, since he comes with a helmet.

Hey my fa/tg/uys, I saw a post on a sales page from a while back that had sold about someone doing a arbites conversion out of Admec + other bits, can anyone point out to me where they found the body/weaponry bitz from?
I'd like some cool arbites to use in my Only War campaign coming up and this conversion really struck my fancy even though it isn't 100% accurate.

Finished up a batch of 20 Skitarii Vanguard and Rangers. Had these guys sitting on my desk for a while, was painting them all assembly line style and procrastinated finishing them for the last two months. Glad to have them done so I can move on to other projects, planning on the Imperial Triumvirate next.

>>52553519
>>52553434
The bodies the in the pictures you've posted are Inquisitor Greyfax and a Sister of Silence respectively. I'm not 100% on the weapons but I think they may be admech.

If you want to make some arbites, good sources of bits are the Genestealer Cults Neophytes (shotgun, webber pistol, nice armour), Skitarii (tasers, batons, pistols and augs), Tempestus Scions (for armour, mostly). If you wanted some female ones, add in the Sisters of Silence and you'd be set.

Going to buy a light primer so I have another priming option except black for the lighter paint schemes. Is the Vallejo 601 Grey Primer good (ie, not too dark so I can paint light colours straight over it) or is White better?

I'm leaning towards white since I'm not sure on how dark the Grey one will be.

If anyone is interested in pig iron miniatures, these heads I ordered came in.
They look pretty nice and pretty similar to gw metals

They're lead though, so watch out.

Really nice for 50 cents per head, got 40 for 20.

>>52554193
You sure they're lead? Their facebook says they cast in pewter.

>>52554793
Yeah, Packaging on the baggy it came in said contains lead.

>>52555098
it's usually a mixture of pewter and lead.
Considering how bright the metal is, I'd say the majority is probably pewter.

Making minis out of pure lead or mainly lead isn't really done anymore these days.

>>52555098
That mean it's a pewter mix with lead, not necessarily solid lead.
Usually no more than 5%

>Making minis out of pure lead or mainly lead isn't really done anymore these days.

Agreed. Lead is heavy, soft, toxic and cheap. Modern pewter is made mostly of tin which is shiny, (somewhat) brittle, and expensive. It's frequently mixed with bismuth and sometimes copper... and sometimes just a little bit of lead.

>>52554193
>They're lead though, so watch out.

Yes, gotta watch out so you don't accidentally eat one of your minis.

I used to work in a Michaels, there's a few things you could get that would be able to seal that on, without marring the images on the paper. Simplest would be a little bottle of "mod podge", but if you want to go more heavy duty, there's some types of varnish that won't melt the paper.

>>52557731

That'll probably work too. Though I'd test it on some scrap paper, just to be sure.

>>52557767
Oh sure, I'll do some tests, still have to glue the other side tomorrow, and then wait a day before varnishing.
Wouldn't want to fuck it up after this much work.

So a friend of mine is a really big fan of Killing Floor, and I figured I'd make him a Patriarch since he's into figurines and stuff. However, I'm not all that great at sculpting things from scratch. Any suggestions for pieces and bits to use? Can be from any line, though I have an easier time getting hold of 40K where I live.

Does anyone have examples of Reilkland Fleshshade Gloss over Retributor armor? preferably on Stormcasts.

I can't find any example pictures of it in action and I didn't want to just start lathering it onto my models.

>>52558075

There are all sorts of things that can discolor the various types of metals Citadel has used over the decades. There's really no telling if you're buying them second-hand. The first and most obvious is models that were previously painted but have now been stripped.

>>52558084
I forget, what was the real name of retributor armor? Ghenna's Gold?

I have a few sigmarines laying around, and I don't mind ruining them, so if you give me a few hours I could test for you.

The usual rules for casting apply in terms of escape channels, but you might want to preheat the mold before casting. You probably still have a few bad pulls before the mold is hot enough to not cool the metal before it has filled the mold.

Personally I switched to resin cause it's cleaner, easier, faster, less dangerous, I can do it indoors, at night and in my bathrobe.

Anyway personally I think resin is a better way to go cause resin is cheaper and considering the amounts you are gonna cast for personal use a little goes a long way.

Anybody got any tips for bitz sites?

In your opinions what is it that makes it not read as a Chaos Sorcerer? Is it that he doesn't come across as the traditional Wizard in flowing robes wielding a staff?

In my opinion the char is a decent balance between the fightiness and magical capabilities of a Chaos Sorcerer, seeing as they are statwise basically a warrior of Chaos able to wield magic.
The miniature is made as if it is about to cast the signature spell of the
Lore of Nurgle (Stream of Corruption: "The caster's maw distends wide like a serpent before spewing forth a noxious stream of disease and filth that chokes and suffocates the foes nearest to him"). The kilt provides a subtle visual reminder of the flowing robes of a traditional mage while the sheated sword and shield slinged over his back is a representation of the fact that the character is not primarily concerned with the actual physical combat of a battle (while also being a handy way to include them when using the torso/head-piece in question. Lastly his plate armour significes that allthough he isn't primarily a combatant he is capable of duking it out in hand to hand if it comes to that.

Out of curiosity - What would you guys like a melee-capable, heavily armoured battle mage, to look like?

So just for clarification
Matte varnish is the stuff that protects your minatures but doesn't make them shiny.
And gloss varnish is what protects your minis and makes em shiny?

Thanks guys, here's a close up of flag man, so far my favorite guy

I suppose a lot of the sorcerer look is dependent on robes. Notice the guy in your example only comes across as a battlemage because he's casting a fireball.

Maybe you could paint his eyes and throat like they're glowing to help with the magical effect?

>>52562124
Thanks!
What would people suggest, paint on varnish or spray paint?

>>52562470
For general use spray paint. Varnishing by hand is gonna be a pain in the ass.
Had a bad experience with paint on varnish once too.
The varnish seemed to have had a mild solvent in it or something. Anyway fucked up my paintjob basically. Was the regular GW stuff, but a few years back.

It's useful to have a paint on pot handy, though.
Say you spray varnish a big monster in matte and then go back to put gloss on the eyes and mouth for example.

>>52562576
Is spray varnish like primers in that it's toxic?
I live in an area that's constantly cold and that limits my time to prime greatly.

how would you guys paint black robes, I was thinking of painting it eshin grey and then doing multiple washes of nuln oil. Or should I just highlight the edges with watered down grey?

>>52563670
Start with black, highlight grey, wash black or brown, highlight lighter grey

>Is it possible to magnetize the combi weapons from the Calth box without having to chop off the barrels?

It might very well be. Something that small and light could be magnetized by having one side hold the magnet while the other side simply has a metal pin or plate embedded in it - as opposed to needing two magnets.

It would honestly be easier to swap the tips but I think you could put magnets where the power packs line up, they'd have to be pretty small and just the slightest amount of misalignment would make it not work. Magnetizing the whole part would make the seams more noticeable too, might just not be worth the trouble

>>52561301
All he needs is something like a book hung from his belt or some other clue. Or if you're able to paint him in such a way that it's clear he's casting a spell and not just mutated then that would work too.

>>52562077
Generally speaking matte varnish does not offer a lot of protection compared to gloss varnished, just so you are aware.

Any tips for using metallics in an airbrush?
I'm gonna be starting either 30k TSons or Iron Warriors soon and wanted to know if any of you have run into issues.

>>52565298
Thanks for the heads up, but I don't want my trollbloods looking shiny.

>>52565689
Many people do a gloss coat followed by a matte coat in order to get both the protection and finish they want.

Spray on matte, paint-on gloss for shining gems and lenses.

Some swear bu spray gloss, spray matte then touch up gloss, but that's for people that touch models more than dice.

I need to make 5 more troopers, a sgt, 3 termies, and a dreadnaught/hellbrute all with varying degrees of magnetizing because I'm shooting for wysiwyg.

If I didn't love my spooky ghosts and skellies so much I'd definitely get some nurgle stuff.

Speaking of which - spooky ghosts. Waiting on the texture paint to dry so I can do a muddy wash and tie the browns together

Man, magnetizing infantry will be a pain in the ass.
I'm doing a custom Skitarii squad for SW:A and I'm having weapons and heads be swappable, plus backpacks and grenades where possible. Is there a way to get out of needing a billion magnets? Just for a basic dude it's 1 for head, 2 for shoulders, 8 for the basic guns, plus all the secondary weapons that need different packs and/or bases.

>>52568658
2 ways I see

1: Strong magnet inside the torso, smaller magnet or maybe even metal bits in the limbs to be added

2: pins

>>52568658
Is this just a result of taking the "What you see is what you get" rule and magnets to the next level? Sounds like way too much work when swappable heads, backpacks and grenades.

>Am I going to die?
Yes, we all are.

I'd recommend vaccuming again and then maybe washing large surfaces down.

>>52568768
Yeah, the upcoming store league went a bit OTT with the WYSIWYG for the Shadow Wars, but they picked the exact game where everything changes after almost every match, so if I was to be totally OTT about things I'd need swappable weapon sights too, even on the pistols. Thinking I'll ignore the grenades thing, because it even says in the rulebook they don't have to be represented on the model, and the sights. Backpacks are only for the one dude who can have either a plasma caliver or an Arc Rifle, so he has 3 to pick from including the regular pack. Alpha isn't getting a swappable head because I found a cool one that goes with the servo-backpack I made for him.

This would be a bunch easier if Skitarii weapons didn't have wires that join to the backpack and bollocks like that. Alpha has a billion one-handed guns, there's three snipers who have different bases, one guy with the other two special weapons and two guys who can carry the enhanced data-tethers. There's only three normal guys, and even they have two different guns.

Anyone?

>>52569283
i fink he meant good disgusting.

Thinking of trying to hide magnets in plain sight, by positioning them in a way that look like bitz and then painting over them.

Does primer/paint do bad things to the coatings of neodymium magnets?

One of you faggots recommended trying Wilko paint and varnish remover. Picked up a bottle yesterday and left some Chaos spass mareens in it for 24 hours.

After a brief scrub they came out almost spotless. Glue still held tight and I can't see any damage to the plastic. Looks like this is a really good stripping method and cheap as shit. Thanks for the tip bro

>>52569495
not tp my knowledge, Issue is the magnets will chip and rub paint on the contact surface.

>>52569336

Just use ebay. You can either go dirt cheap china for like $2 per 200 but you have to wait a month, or you can usually get 200 for about $10, at least for 2x1mm.

>>52569505
>Wilko paint and varnish remover
Looks affordable too, might have to see if there's a local variant.

>>52562087
A moody grey or a purple would fit nicely with it.

>>52569521

>>52553519

>>52553554 is correct. Also, the arms/weapons look like they came from a Skitari Rangers kit.

That won't be a problem as the only one visible when assembled will be on a side that isn't contacted. Basically trying to convert a Recon drone into a Remora (pic isn't mine though, it's from another anon who gave me super-useful measurements. If you're here, thank you again!).

I cut off those small discs on the side of the drone's nubs, glue a magnet on top and then the circle I sliced off cleanly back on top. The wings will be separate, with a magnet attached that clips to the bottom of that little nub, through the plastic. As a bonus, I then attach the burst cannons I built with another magnet on the bottom of the wing magnet, to make a tower-like assembly. Final hurdle will be to figure out how the fuck do I make the seeker missiles, if I'll even bother.

This guy finally arrived in the post, shipped to the UK from the US.

Didn't realise he'd come sans arm. Will superglue do the job on this? He's made of metal and I feel like the weight might be too much.

And less urgent (game is on Saturday) will I need a specific sort of paint for metal? I've never done a miniature before.

Yeah, mainly chaos warrior bits, the bottom left looks like the top of a gamesday wolfpriest cruxius, next to that what looks to be an ork arm, then on the right in beige a RT boltgun, next to that an ork shoota and above that something that looks like a RT plasmapistol arm, not sure which model that comes from though.
The other stuff are instruments, weapons and spear arms from Chaos warriors as far as I can tell. The thing above the ork arm is an eldar bit painted silver apparently.

Depends on what era you are going for.
2nd edition old school fists had the helmet stripe and iron skull.
The 4th edition dex had an army with those markings too, but some time after that the codex markings got mixed up somehow in there too.
The modern studio army of Imperial Fists uses the regular codex markings iirc.

Ok so, found a few sticks of resin from an old Scibor purchase, figured the actual seeker missiles are fat oblongs so would be a good base.

Please excuse the horrible MSPaintjob but bear with me. Using an old pen tip to make the cone. Edges might be rounded a bit for ease of assembly but that's about it. Black lines are where I'll carve some details so it's not a completely empty surface.

Advice?

Thank you, that's a great idea! Also might just glue some thin plasticard cut into shapes to the surface for details. Carving this shit would be far too much hassle.

AKSHTULEH, all IF sergeants have red helmets. 1st company veterans have white helmets, and in this picture: >>52570589 the sergeant also has a white stripe to signify that he's from a veteran squad.

That awful feeling when you got time to paint, and want to paint, but what little talent with a brush you had has left the building on that day.

Does the yellow shoulder on the right guy in progress clash too much?

Job's fuckin' failed. It looks hideous and the joins are too tiny to even hold with superglue.

I'm going to mull over a different approach, maybe just go with a different counts-as seeker missile instead of trying to re-create the official ones. If I can't come up with something by the weekend I might just going to ignore them altogether.

Those are looking really good anon. The yellow shoulder pad looks good to me.

Any tips on painting/assembling drop pods?

I am especially unsure about what to do on the bottom, do I do some kind of OSL to indicate working thrusters? Or just put soot/blast damage to indicate heavy usage? Or leave it squeaky clean?

1. old Mechrite Red (or whatever it's called now)

Anyone have tips on winning ebay auctions?

>>52574758
Buy "buy now" items?

Can't say I've really bid on any items that you had to actually compete for. It's always a hassle and days of waiting.

>>52574758
patience.
The next one will come around.
Seems obvious but has to be said. I've seen stuff on ebay go for more than it would have cost if it had been bought directly from GW.

Generally speaking sniping still is probably the most effective tactic. I.e. placing your maximum bid just a few seconds before the auction is over so nobody else can raise theirs.
Only works if the other guy didn't bid higher in the first place though.

Anyway the best way to win is just to be patient.
If you want an item put in an automated search request so ebay notifies you if something comes up.
Then you just bid on that what you want to pay.
After a few tries you might get lucky.

Misspelled items, or thing that are not clearly identified by the person selling it are great finds but they usually go unnoticed. They are hard to find for you too though.

Personally as a rule of thumb I never bid more than half of the regular price on anything. Otherwise what's the point of using ebay?
Unless you are going for bits or limited items.

The problem is im going for some OOP Valhallans to bulk up my army, so the next one might be in several months.
Some guy is selling all of his Valhallans, I dont know what retail would be as retail doesnt exist.
Sniping seems like the ideal tactic
>>52574910
The simple fact that those models are even on Ebay is a great deal to me, usually theyre just not there, maybe 1 or 2 weapon teams and a lot of people trying to flip the made to order stuff.
I regret not getting weapon teams on made to order.
This sucks.

>>52575022
As I said the next deal will come.
I mean I'm not sure where you live, but generally speaking if you enlarge your search to the entirety of Europe (if you are a brit or EU citizen) you'll get plenty of old IG metals in various conditions in your searches.

Ayup lads, finally got my hands on that Rotbringers Sorcerer that we discussed.
He is indeed in resin - a very solid and chunky sculpt so not much cleanup and no air bubbles except the bottom of his robe, also the staff itself is VERY bendy. Rummaged around for some bitz and now I've got a clear concept in mind to move forward. I'll be posting pictures some time next week for input, don't wanna go too overboard with him. He'll have around four extra arms and a servo skull, though.

>>52575576
Reminds me of the colored peg game they give kids at cracker barrel.

Normally Id say black and empty is good unless you have a particularly vibrant and weird color scheme this works with.

>>52575576
I don't think it works well.
Mainly because the gradient you tried to paint doesn't read well.
I'd pick one color and go with that.
No idea what the rest of your scheme looks like, but I'd say a bright green, blue or a red would look nice on that helmet.

>>52575639
>>5257584yeah, the more I stare at it the less I like it.
Gonna go with >>52575883 and do a red/orange, probably. I've got a ways to go before I finish, and I have another of these helmets if I royally fuck it up, so I'm not terribly worried

>>52574904
using ur night lords for 30k or 40k or both?

>>52576269

Both, though the wings on the lord will not be used for 30k I don't think. I have an old raptor jump pack I will try if it's not too heavy.

that arm definitely does not go to that ork. or maybe the shoulder part is original (hard to see) but hand/gun are not

>>52574904
why'd the first wing spikes get cut off?

>>52576397
It does. I bought that hand with the plasmagun and your crab-claw hand not too long ago, they're both Ork bits.

>>52576425

They're recast, and the nub was right there. It snapped when I tired cutting it off, but it looked fine, so I trimmed the other side. I might nip the other spikes to match, but I have another one if needed.

>>52575718
Looking forward to your updates.

Does anyone know of any good minis I could make into Grammaton Clerics? Was thinking of making a Counts-as Harlequin Shadow War squad of them, given that they can use an arsenal of interesting pistols. Preferably with one or two dramatic poses, but without is fine, since they did sometimes not even try to dodge.
