reposting from last thread. Finished him. Nothing amazing but I'm happy considering my current skills.

Help, I am trying to kitbash/sculpt a western steampunk-esque saloon girl.
I have no clue what to do for the base.
Thoughts?

>>52928788

look at mali-fox

>>52928788
Depends on what scale you're working in.

Heroic, 30mm, etc

Assuming you mean base as basis for the conversion, and now how to design the base under the model.

>>52928972
No, base underneath the model.
I need to make the base before I can model the legs, which involve a skirt.
>>52928798

Thanks.

I want to buy an FA Girl but I don't know which one to buy.

What kind of colors would I want to use in order to recreate this "green" on the leftmost model? Ogryn Camo with a dab of Agrax Earthshade? Ushabti Bone with a wash of heavily diluted Athonian Camoshade?

>>52929783
For a second I though anon was color-blind because that green is so subtle.

Honestly you'd be better basing with something like Zandri Dust or Rakarth Flesh and then layer with really light tans. Then shade with Beil-Tan green or Athonian Camoshade to give that hint of green. I don't think Citadel makes green that tan and light.

still working on the weeaborks

made a blade out of card and posed some arms so I can have a boy holding a katana with two hands

now I got two hurdles to overcome;

chopping away enough of the harness from the big shoota to add a shoulder pad


and seeing if it's even possible to pose the ork arm in a "about to unsheathe kataner" pose, with the katana sheath being on the belt

>>52929783
Khaki of some sorts. Maybe add in a smidge of olive drab if you want it greener.

I just cannot get this lava looking right and I cant pinpoint what I'm doing wrong

Any tips to paint it correctly?

>>52930292
Too much even distribution of fire colors and black. Have the fire colors take the form of cracked lines between the black.

>>52930187
Looks fun! Try adding some more texture to the armor and hats so you have something to shade and highlight. Make the texture of, say, straw.

Can anyone help with some recipes?
Never painted green or orange before, but I want to pattern my Mechanicum off this pic, with washed-out and grimy green robes and orange glowy bitz and vials and lenses and stuff. Can anyone think of a good combo for the green with Citadel paints?

>>52931088
If you want a straight up recipe:

Robes: Base with Death World Forest, shade with Agrax or Athonian Camoshade, layer Elysian Green, highlight Ogryn Camo.

Lights: Base Jokaero Orange. Highlight Troll Slayer Orange. Fine highlight Yriel Yellow.

>>52931183

Great job on the shoulder. Did you freehand that symbol?? Chapter?

Like the green-white-blue. Looks very noble. You also did clean highlights. Not sure why the one hand is blue, but whatevs.

Put up a piece of paper for background and take some more close-up pictures, if you can. I'd like to see the details on this guy.

Found a really old WIP-pic from... about a decade ago. Posting just to prove that Lilac is a manly colour and that there is indeed a use for metallic orange paint.

>>52932616
That is truly something

>>52932314
My own chapter, Scions of Calth. They're a second founding Ultramarines successor chapter created with veterans from Calth. Therefore the chapter has a hatred of Word Bearers an a marine that slays one gains the right to paint the right fist blue.

Everything is freehand except for the roman numerals. The chapter symbol represents the Ultramarines and Calth system (five planets, hard to know) burning due to the Word bearers fucking with the sun.

>>52932430
I can't take any better photos due to my shitty Iphone so a lightbox and a proper camera are on my list for the future.

>>52932372
Add a bit more green, maybe? Do a light wash of Nihilakh Oxide, that always is great for ghost effects.

You could go in with some dark shade and fill in the eyes to make them stand out more against the glow - look spooky and hollow. Or use a bone white to color the face, hands, and maybe some subtle designs on the limbs as if to imply there's a skeleton leering our from the ghost's fog.

If you wanna get really fancy with it, you could go in with a highlight color and add some swirly fog designs on the boring, flat panels like the pauldrons or shins.

Or maybe do some highlights across the knuckles, as if to imply you can see the handle of the weapon through his ghost hands. Or do something similar around where the chestplate meets the pauldrons.

>>52932372
Currently looks more like marble than a ghost. I recommend dry brushing the flat panels with a very light blue, and then a light drybrush of near-white on the edges.

By smoothing out the colors you can achieve an effect like this, which may be in line with what you want.

>>52928604
Anyone have any ideas for making a Raven Guard color scheme more interesting?

I was thinking of doing black metal for the trim, with some silver highlights, just to make it more interesting than matte black.

And maybe a more off-white for the white? Like ghost white, or bone white?

And maybe if I could be assed, some freehand designs. What designs would look very Ravens? Are they like Native American, or Celtic, or what?

>>52932213
Nice paintjob and lore. That's one of the first custom chapter backgrounds I've read that hasn't been really fucking cringy, so that's actually great.

>>52932430
>>52932717
>>52932801
>>52932877
Thanks for the tips everyone. I should clarify what I'm looking for since "Ghost" is pretty vague. The fluff behind Reforging suggests that it's not fully understood by the Stormcast, also mentioning that with each reforging their personalities change or even become less present. My chamber would be named "Sigmar's Forgotten". The idea is that when they died they turned into lighting to be reforged, like most Stormcast do, however, they never got to be reforged, and so they're just beings of pure lightning, fighting in Sigmar's name even though they lack a corporeal form.

>>52932877
I actually really like those, would the best way to do it be a light blue base with a darker wash, and then highlighting again after the wash?

>>52932970
You may be more interested in Dark Angels pre-heresy/fallen colors, and/or Ravenwing. Unless you're totally sold on Raven Guard.

>>52933077
Well in that case do the reverse. Base with your brightest colors and work your way outwards to the darkest colors, so it looks like the light in coming from within, and make sure your color transitions are smooth. (Use dry brush, multiple thin layers, or airbrush)

Then go and draw some jagged lightning effects on all the flat surface, a la Night Lords.

>>52933106
A dark wash followed by increasingly lighter colors and lighter layers of drybrushing should give you that sort of gradient.

>>52933116
>How do I paint good looking Raven Guard?

Thanks, anon.

>>52932853
>I'm really looking forward to seeing these guys done, have you settled on a base yet?

At least one will have a trampled sand garden

the rest will have some futuristic city/industrial bases but that depends on what kind of stuff I can find around my place and what tutorials I can find

also gonna have to find something else to use for the flags since I originally wanted to use the plastic tube thingies inside pens but they're a bit too thick

>>52933125
Good advice. As a rule of thumb, painting something "translucent" build from dark recesses to light edges. Painting something "glowing" build from light recesses to dark edges.

>>52933160
Just sayin that you'll get a better selection of models, with much of the same aesthetics (including the Native American shtick) and a more variable color scheme.

Idk, they look clean and well done, though I can't get the best read without turning my monitor upside-down.

>>52933329
Looks good! Do some more prominent highlights and more recess shade around places like the face to make them pop more.

Also drill the barrels of your storm bolters.

>>52933329
Highlight your edges, sort out your mold lines and drill your barrels

>>52933318
Fair enough, just giving my first recommendation.

Maybe go for a glossy black/white, to give it an enamel look? Frankly I think you just picked an aesthetically pretty flat chapter. They don't even have special company markings you can incorporate.

Finally put more time into my lone fiend. Thoughts on the base?

>>52934342
Looks really cool, specially the skin. I would add something in the base in the same color of the bone parts to bring the actual model and the base together. Meaby a light yellow turf or a skull can do the trick.

>>52934342
Oh gosh. It's beautiful, anon. The whole thing is, and it's making me want to start collecting deldar, but I quite like the base as well. How did you base it?

>>52934342
Needs a tiny bit of bleached bone on the base
Bit cliché but maybe a skull or two?

>>52934438
Oh didn't see this one, sorry.
Moar skulls I guess

>>52934465

Thanks all! The fiend sits on those cubic stone bits that are part of the model, and I just filled the base out with a few peices of basing slate of comparable sizes, and then dipped the rest in aquarium/deco sand i bought at the craft store.

I think carrying the bone down to the base is a great idea, I'll hunt around for a good bit

so I'm about to use painters oil paints to paint my minis
I'm wondering what I should be thinning them down with
I checked isopropyl and it seems to be melting polystyrene or whatever GW makes their guys from (it makes it less defined and shiny) so what I use now? White spirit will likely do the same - or either this or isopropyl would be good when painted on so it can evaporate before it melts? I mean regular medium oil wouldn't be too greasy for non-absorbant plastic?

>>52935527
I used white spirits and suffered no ill effects on the plastic. Just remember to varnish the model before you apply it.

>>52935527
I've never tried this, but I've seen fancy painters on youtube do oil washes on regular minis after they've laid down some acrylic base colors and then sealed with a gloss coat. As far as using exclusively oil paints, maybe stick to metal models?

Looking for minis besides Reaper and GW for fancy dresses, like nobles might wear, or otherwise Victorian/high class. Corsets optional but encouraged.

Pic somewhat related.

Hope this is the right place.

Trying to wash some FW resin models, Elysians for a kill team. Can't get rid of the shine on it with washing up liquid + water + toothbrush. Can anyone offer some suggestions, or should I just keep at it? Thanks.

>>52935554
will hardware store black varnish do?
last three days I spent removing old paints from the models and removing sprue marks because the guy I bought them from didn't bother to either prime or clean properly

>>52935575
I just have to do this little batch for the game I want to use them in and I thought this could be a cool experiment
metals are so much easier, being non reactive and such

>>52935371

>>52935456
What paints did you use?

>>52935597
could look into Black Scorpion if their western range has civilians.
If you can find them Carnevale should have a bunch of minis like that.
Freebooter's Fate also has a bunch of minis that come with it.
Wolsung might be a possible source, they do victorian Sci-Fi.
On that note you should also check out In her Majesty's Name range from Northstar and maybe even the Empire of the Dead range, although I'm not sure the latter has much to offer for your request.
I think Foundry's Warmonger range might have a Vampire dressed like that. They also have a regular Victorian Townsfolk collection (Which is similar to a line of minis reaper recently released too btw).

Pretty much all I can think of for now.

>>52935701
>Looking for minis besides Reaper

Working on 40k models here; I fucked up priming (used what was probably the wrong type of primer, and it was too thick/went on too thick to the point of devouring almost all detail), so I'm trying to remove it. What's the best way to go about this? Turpentine doesn't seem to damage the plastic, so should I just let them soak for a while? (only batched 3 guys, just in case something like this happened)

>>52935759
use simple green if in US

>>52935597
TTCombat might have some miniatures that would interest you.

>>52935759
Simple Green concentrated or Pine Sol

Leave them soaking in a tub for 2 or 3 days and the paint will brush right off. Won't hurt any plastic or even superglue.

I'm getting in to hobby modelling and painting over the summer. I do have one question though, how can I determine just how good tools like drills and nippers are? And what are some good brands for high quality tools? Are citadel paints worth buying? What are some better alternatives?

>>52935597
privateer press and malifaux should have some although I'm not sure how the latter's scale lines up these days

>>52935759
White spirit is working for me. If turpentine isn't damaging the plastic, I don't see why you shouldn't use it though.

>>52935400
>>52935425

I love the detail on the jackal shields. Planning on adding some ODST soon?

>>52935740
for the base - rhinox layer -> doombull drybrush on sand, skavenblight dinge on rocks, allover agrax, then allover drybrush of ratskin flesh

What are some non-metallic color schemes I can use for my necrons because I'm a snowflakey faggot?

I have never sealed my shit before, but I realized I'm going to need to because of magnetized weapons with handle grips. They'll scrape the paint off the hand real quick. Wtf do I do/use?

What are your guy's thoughts on Reaper Paints?

>>52936686
Good, just be more careful. You have a bunch of hairs stuck to the helmet, and some paint is getting to where it shouldn't be on the model.
Plus, I would probably go over the joints/soft armour with nuln oil, just to make them cleaner (don't get any on the plates). Drybrush the leather skirt-things to make them stand out more, as they currently look like a mass. And do something with the base, so it contrasts heavily with the model.
Then just make some touch ups and your model should look excellent.

>>52936686
How did you do your white? Besides the white the only complain is sloppy highlights and paint seeming a bit too thick. You're well on your way to becoming a better painter however,

>>52936686
The metallics went on kinda thicc, maybe thin em more next time, though I know it's tempting not to for those in particular. Counter opinion on the flap things : highlight instead of dry brush. It'll be easier to control and look nicer

>>52935597
Try Malifaux.

>>52937631
If you cannot figure out how to make stuff fit together, just use greenstuff (or some other fitting substitute)
Since you are making Obliterators, you can afford to go a bit overboard on the greenstuff

>>52938580
I'm trying to avoid using too much green stuff, since these are meant to be IW oblits I'm staying away from the organic look wherever possible. I've got plastic tube and rod stock I'm going to use for a lot of it, I'm just trying to figure out how best to do it so it's not too gappy. I'm using a regular chaos marine torso filed down to fit inside the bullgryn torso so the head has somewhere to sit, but that leaves a lot of space around the arms and makes the legs sit too high. Still gonna use green stuff for wires and tubes, though.

>>52938684
It's a technovirus. I feel like even on IW obliterators there should be some fleshy gibblits.

But they're your dude. Do what you feel works.

>>52938684
Yep, so add a lot of mechanical bits.
But as I said before, since Obliterators do develop hard flesh as armour, do not be afraid to allow some skin to show in the joints
He'll probably look a bit better if you can see he has the obliterator virus, just make sure metal goes over flesh and you should look fine. Leave the faction choice to when you paint him.
Anyway, I would advise making a greanstuff blob, then push the rod stock and tubing into it (to prevent gaps).

>>52938148
They're a different scale than most stuff.

>>52938884
Are you trying to go for a specific size and proportionality then? You should look at Hell Dorado then. Technically 32mm like Malifaux, but from personal experience the figures are smaller.

How small of cracks should I use greenstuff/liquid greenstuff on? Or will paint generally cover up small ones?

So I've got a ton of Vallejo Model Color and Game Color that I bought from my FLGS last...November? When I was on a big painting kick, right before life caught up with me and I haven't had the time to use them. Most haven't even been used yet. Are these toast, or should they still be usable? Is there a way to revive them with gel medium or similar? Are the metallics extra fucked?

New painter. Plan is to rebase these, and use them as npcs for rpgs. Gonna do the two one the left in black shirt, khaki pants, and change the skin color on one of them. As for the Hydra folks, gonna do them up as A swat team or spec ops, all black or something. Do I want to just basecoat all of them black?

>>52940006

The only big thing I can see is that the cork board looks too much like cork board still. Consider adding some sand using pvc glue to make it look a bit more natural. Maybe a red wash and a yellow drybrush to give it a bit more depth.

The terminators look good although we can't see many details, the air brushing on the raider isn't fantastic though. I think you should practice brush strokes on cardboard and recreate the action on the model. The tracks look unfinished and the tank in general could use silver strikes on edges showing bare metal

As someone with a 3d printer who's about to start making terrain with it: you hit that with some filler primer first? Can barely tell it's a print.

Anyone can recommend a solid airbrush?
Nothing fancy, I just plan on using it for priming and basecoats. My 1st airbrush is cheap as shit and barelydoes the work anymore, getting all clogged up and shit.

>Inb4 We told you so
I know, I know.

>>52946327
If clogging's your problem, buying a better brush won't help you. Learn to clean your shit first.

>>52946377
Well, several problems actually.
First, the paint pot is on the side rather than on top, and it clogs here pretty often, even if I thin my paints.
Second, and what annoys me a lot more, is that whenever I pull back the needle to spray, it comes back with a drop of paint, which means that it clogs up very fast whatever I do. Litteraly less than 5 minutes of spraying after cleaning it up best I can and it's already clogged up, spurting paint whenever I start it again because of those fucking drops that end up going all the wauy to the nozzle.

>>52939539
Shit is that Dark World

Not really. But you do need to be clever with the magnet positions.

Honestly unless you plan on only having a small force, just get another rhino. Finding a spot and painting all the little magnetized bits just ain't worth the trouble.

t. guy who went magnet crazy

>>52946762
Sound. Any idea of thibgs I could do xith the left over bits? The doors, mostly, the left over xeapons and hatch bits can be used for terrain/static defenses

>>52946287
Yeah I did this was my experiment in Zenith priming. (priming 3 different colors at different angles for lighting effects). If you scrutinize the pieces too closely, you can see the striations from the plastic, but overall I'm happy with the quality considering it costs almost nothing. I'd suggest just experimenting! You can always dial in the printer settings to get as smooth of a piece as possible.

>>52946287
As far as filler primer goes, I actually didn't use anything special like that except for some Greenstuff where the plastic was especially chunky.

So what's a good base for converting a male odalisque for infinity?

Dunno 'bout oily, but resin can be damn shiny.

>>52950524
Do you have simple green, pile-sol or something handy? (ie. stuff you also use to strip paint from plastic miniatures), soak them in that a little.
I imagine that rubbing alcohol (isopropyl alcohol or isopropanol) will work as well.

Looks like that's a lot of residue, which may need a bit more oomph to remove.

Is testors okay paint? it's the only stuff I can find locally and seems cheap

>>52950696
Testors Model Master is available in acrylic and enamel I believe, the Acrylic you can treat like any other miniature paint and should work just fine, the enamel ones are a bit more finicky. Slow drying, need actual thinner, doesn't play nice with water, that sort of thing.

>>52950004
It's pretty good, for both airbrush and brush. Shake it enough and you narely need to thin it, although it has a blue tint to it on my wet palette when there's not much left or the paint has been therr for some time.

A very good alternative to Chaos Black.

Anyone knows any 3rd party that makes good order mark of jumpacks equivalent for SM? The round ones and raptor triangular ones.

I like it.

Your green is so nice.

You're probably one of the better (if only) Ironjawz painter on here, Groin-Kikka. Very impressed each time.

Started cutting and filing for the Oblits. Admech Dunecrawler phosphor gun on Helbrute autocannon arm. Everything's just fun-tacked together so it's not straight yet but I'm liking the look so far.

>>52955347
Well, rumours say start/mid June but they also said that everything will be viable. Regardless, I don't think you can go wrong by assembling some parts of units (like sans guns f.ex). Or just go turboautist and magnetize everything.

Godspeed.

>>52955605
I like the sunken mouthguards myself but that's mint, lad.

AP -2 bolters and Aspiring Sorcerers being viable soon, fellow Prosperine.

I'm as sceptical as you, but they've been cleaning up their act quite well. Rowntree turned GW around quite a bit in like what.. 2 years? Maybe even less.

Terrain related question:

Does anyone know where I can find some cut out kind of terrain like pic related, that I can print out on thick paper\cardboard and then glue or put together?
I'm looking mostly for just plain city blocks\urban terrain.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

>>52956295
Wasn't the 8e faq full of the usual implied "Well I GUESS you could take thirty seconds and basic arithmetic to figure out a good army composition... if you're an ASSHOLE" GW stuff?

And an Ork settlement, if you redo the finish on the outside it could be metal instead of boonies looking.

Don't remember anything like that, no. they stated they've done extensive playtesting on every unit in the game and from what I've seen, the changes are actually pretty good (though I'm a bit wary of the psychic phase currently).

How do you paint really high quality copper that isn't NMM? I'm very skilled at painting.

>>52956987
Basecoat with a really dark brown metallic, and then buy yourself some Vallejo Liquid Red-Gold.

Also some Nihilakh Oxide if you want it to look weathered.

>>52957081
Only the best for /tg/.

>>52956987
paint NMM style using metallics.
Can make the minis look super shiny if done correctly

>>52957279
I've never actually seen any pictures of videos of MMM techniques. I've always wondered about what the results must look like...

i made a backpack for my magos, i don't have any inquisitor bits besides the basics to make this warband so i glued some random bits together to make him his very own datalogger/analyser machine aparatus, next up for him is greenstuff. i also greenstuffed my assasin and glued her to the base i made

not sure what to do with the bases yet, i did some green sorta lab tiles for my clone i while back, maybe i do something like that, mixed with gravel/rubble patches. any sugestions /wip?

With the striations, you could make some bitchin' Star Wars style holograms.

Reposting because of giant fucking file size, but yeah I agree. I've noticed you kind of have to strike the balance between textured and smooth with 3d printing.

British rifle platoon done. DAK next. Decent change up from endless 40k.

tfw have minis to paint and DoW3 to beat...

so hard to paint with this game distracting me

>>52957625
printer layers reminds me of some desert rocks that get same horizontal stripes due to sand in the wind - if the rocks had different shape this would work to your advantage

>>52957473
To continue off of the lab tiles/ I-bar rubble on the assassin's base, I'd say go for a mix of ruined medical lab/ruined city for the bases, particularly if you're picturing these for a skirmish warband

>>52957625
this kind of thing would make an absolutely awesome VR skirmish/danger room style scenario with illusionary/projected terrain and obstacles

>>52957858
There are some hoodoos on thingiverse that would be perfect for this. The rock layers also allow for color variations within the striations. Thanks for the idea.

>>52957894
Oh I like that idea. I'll pass that along to my buddy that does all the printing. Considering each piece only costs a few cents of plastic to print, we can experiment with a lot of stuff.

>>52953755
Looks nice, but the color balance of your photo seems pretty off.

good on you anon. I'm working on some pioneers right now

Giant googly eyes.

>>52960415
color contrasts and thematic contrasts would be ice world, or jungle environments.
complementary themes would be urban rubble, industrial waste, ash covered badlands etc.

Personally I get a kick out of the thematic contrasts.
Seeing robots walk across fields of flowers and the like.

>>52960525
>Any tips on painting eyes this big?
Not just for eyes, but different materials and textures in general useful: references.
Google for animal eyes and copy what you see. The iris is a muscle with texture and a variety of colors.
Depending on what you use (goats or toads for example) it might also work a little different than a human eye.
Always good to be able to fall back on something. The end result will almost certainly be much better if you use references.
