Thoughts on this base for my 40k Warlord? He comes with a plain base and I didn't want to make a plain base with tufts and rubble and regret it later.

I think this is a Sigmarine base or something from the AoS Hero Bases box, some kind of lion face or stardrake or something. The 40K Hero Bases didn't look heroic enough. A stairway? An oil drum? A broken Leman Russ turret? This base looks properly heroic. Unfortunately I don't play Dark Angels or Celestial Lions or Salamanders or something like that, so the base will have absolutely nothing to do with my chapter's identity, but it still looks neat I think.

Too tacky to use AoS base for 40k?

Cant decide whether to paint space marine weapons and trim in brighter shades for the nice contrast, or more dark and matte to favor military realism.

SHOULD I PAINT MY BOLTERS CAMO FOR MY IMPERIAL FISTS GUYS

>>53682416
Tacky unless you spruce it up

>>53682530
theres no need to sperg out.

Some people do want to play with more realism even in 40k. And obviously its moot for imperial fists and the like.

tips for removing glue crust on models?

Trying to repaint some doods but there's all these glue crusts. But they're made of FW resin, so will acetone kill them?

>>53682489
Yeah, I mean >>53682530 is being a dick but not wrong. It pretty much depends on your chapter. What is your chapter? If it's not something tacticool like a raven guard successor or the Emperor's Warbringer's, there really isn't a -functional- purpose in matte weapons, though perhaps an aesthetic one.

>>53682489

Go classic with the red panel imo

>>53682857
It's a legitimately retarded question unless his Space Marines are also painted with camo patterns.

I'm not sure what it is, but I like it.

Looks like you got some shiny, so it looks wet on the left hand. What if you did that on the right shoulder where it's a gouge and maybe the symbol on the chest?

Just a thought, I really like the shiny effect.

Never based before so I made a test base with sand painted over black and then dry brushed with a light grey. I have rocks that I'll add when I start basing my finished dudes, but is there anything else I should work on?

>>53683482

Neat! What to do with the back sounds like a place to have fun with modding him.

Chaos Dwarf anon here, painting at work was the best decision yet. Now I've got the remaining models having their base coat and shade on it. All there is to do is clean up the shades, and then highlighting all of em. I'm in the home stretch finally.

Finally, a new thread is up.

I'm going to dump some general advice/help images to keep the fire burning.

>>53683543
Looks fine if you're going for asphalt or volcanic ash kinda look. Try mixing different sizes of gravel/sand to give it a more natural look.

You say you have rocks to add, generally I would glue those down first before using PVA and gravel so the rocks look like they're sitting in the ground rather than on top of it. I get the impression that you'd just be sticking on unpainted rocks as well, which would stick out against the painted part of the base.

Last, I recommend priming your base like you would a model. It'll seal the sand and gravel a little more so it doesn't flake off while painting and you'll get a consistent base color. Oh, and obviously, fill in or cover the slot in the base.

Gems and shit are easy as fuck, and you don't need those "Gemstone" glaze paints GW sells. This thing is taken from the 5th ed. Eldar codex.

I should probably grab the Ork 5th ed codex, because it has something similar, about checker patterns, since everyone moans about how "hard" they are to make.

Yeah I remember when some anon just posted it up like "holy heck look at this shit" and everyone was enthralled. Figured people would be really interested these days, what with Dark Imperium having Death Guard and presumably more people playing Nurgle now.

i left indents in the mud paint, and when it dried, i put in a few drops of nuln oil, and then straight over it a few drops of secretweapon water effect. then layered the water effect again when it dried. heres one before i did the water.
>>53684266
>>53684273
thanks, and yeah i was just trying to see which of the plants i liked more. it's going to mostly be for stuff like infantry. i might just do the bushes for the heavy weapons teams. maybe rocks, instead.

I'm looking for very small drone models that look like they're just large enough to mount a stormbolter on. (and similar specialist-size weapons)

Both crawling and hovering drones are acceptable.

Ideally, something like the jetpacks in >>53653204 and >>53655931, but smaller scaled.

>>53684207
Just guessing from how sponges work, I'd guess you'd just get a lot of tiny splotches all over the place. Not sure why you'd want to do it.

>>53684280
It kind of looks like cheese from a pizza in that picture. Maybe I'll make a legion of pepperoni and cheese plague marines

i was thinking if i did that and then did a thin layer over the top i might achieve a kind of mottled dirty look that appeared more natural than if i tried to do it with brushwork

I asked in the last thread and got jack-shit in the way of responses, so I'll ask again in a slightly different way.

Does anyone have experience sculpting/modeling female features? I'd like to get some advice, since I'm going to start on daemonettes soon enough and I want to spruce them up, but the only videos I can find are of professional sculptors that are either dead silent or drone on about inane bullshit.

Any advice, even "It's way easier than you may at first think" is welcome!

>>53684347
I'd say try it on some plasticard if you have any, or on some sort of blank slab of plastic you don't give much of a shit about. It could look absolutely hideous and just dull up your details by adding a lot of visual noise, and just looks like splotches.

But, again, I've never done it, I just have to go by guess work. I'm not going to stop you if you want to try, I'd just advise caution.

Thoughts on new death guard contemptor? Basing to be decided.

Is there a difference between using Citadel paint from a pot rather than a spray can (Chaos Black/Leadbelcher for example).

I know you can control the brush/pot much better, but is there an actual difference in quality or will the results turn out relatively the same?

>>53684534

Man the 30k DG stuff looks terrible in 40k colors. Is it just being so used to seeing them in 30k colors and vice versa? It's not like I dislike either, both 30k and 40k DG look good when done normally.

I bet the 40k nurgle stuff would look worse in pre-heresy colors too.

>>53684556

The spray can has aerosol and solvents in it. Also I heard Retributor Gold does not match the pot version. Other than that, there's not much difference. It's like any other pot vs. spray. If you don't fuck up either one they will result in the same finish. You can fuck up pot painting by not thinning your paint just as much as you can fuck up spraying by spraying too long, too close, too far, or in too humid of a climate.

>>53684534
Don't drybrush it. It doesn't look "weathered" or "Nurgley" it just looks bad.

>>53684534
Looks more like camo unless you really sit and stare at it.

>>53684403
Only advice I can really give is to keep the basics of anatomy in mind, like women have their eyes wider apart on average, the jaw is pointy rather than square etc.

Also if I were to sculpt a female face I'd try to keep her facial features as smooth as possible.
Like with a drawing, adding too many lines make a female face look old or unattractive.

Take a look at the heads from Hasslefree and Statuesque miniatures.
You'll notice that the bridge of the nose and the cheekbones are far less pronounced than on their male counterparts and the shapes flow softly into each other.

Can't say 'it's easier than you may think', though.
Sculpting faces at that scale isn't easy and it's even harder to do if you are going for a likeness, an expression or beauty (which i think the female form is usually considered to be the standard of)
May just be me, but I find that I'm in general I'm much more tolerant of quirks in male anatomy and faces.
If something looks off on a female body/face it sticks out much more.

Though now that I brought them up, I think you can get bare heads from HF and probably statuesque too, so that may be an easier alternative to sculpting them yourself.

>>53684576
Awesome thanks for the extra detail.

I'm just following a painting guide for Necron dynasty colours and it mentins using Leadbelcher over a Chaos Black base. I have sprays of both but am running low on the pot versions, so was just making sure.

I'll just spray both layers.

>>53684610
I actually need more advice on scultping torsos and the like. I'm sure you can figure why, given how lopsided daemonettes are. Don't get me wrong, I know what the intention was, but they just look unfinished to me.

>>53684688
well den.
Titties are hard.
Same advice applies though.
Dig into artists anatomy references for torsos and the like.
Since you usually got one breast on the model already you just got to match the other one and make it look in the right direction.

Good luck.

I posted this in the 40k general but it's moving a bit fast and it got passed up pretty quickly.

Is a chapter with entirely different colors per squad permitted? I'm fairly new to /mydudes/ and want to pay tribute to my favorite series but don't know if something like that has precedence in 40k. Still in progress obviously

>>53684534
Needs more rust, especially on those barrels, they look near-pristine.

That green seeping effect could use some layering of some kind, it's sort of flat as-is.

>>53684949
It's fine to have a chapter with all of them completely different colors. Some people may get triggered by this and call it heresy though.

>>53684949
I think it might look a bit weird
Maybe have like the assault marines be the gravity suit and the captain be the Varia suit?

>>53684949

Differentiating squads entirely by color isn't a thing, but BA for example have different helmet colors and I don't see why you couldn't have alternate paint schemes via squad role if you really wanted to.

But your color schemes in general need a lot of work. Samus's suit schemes are from the 90's and don't really translate well to 40k tabletop.

Yeah, I would only use 3 suit colors at most, maybe 4 for a captain exclusive color. It's still all in the air, although the three colors I tried out might end up being the final 3 suits I choose since they're so iconic.

Also trying to think of a relevant name, with the placeholder being a little too cheesy for me. The Prime Hunters

Reposting from last thread:

Started painting this model for Infinity but i'm not sure what to go for for the base, so any ideas are welcome.

I've spotted a couple of highlights i need to to touch up as well but apart from that has anyone got any criticism.

>>53690102
I'd add some brighter orange or white to the eyes. It looks strange when ambient light is the same intensity as the source.

>>53690127
I'm heading into my local shop to pick up a fine detail brush tomorrow so I can add white to the eyes. I'm still trying to get the glow effect right because right now it just looks like they're blushing.

I've also got orange rods coming in instead of the clear green ones.

The power suit scheme looks great. The gravity suit and varia suit schemes look like shit.

Honestly I'd use the default power suit on all the troops, and save the gravity/varia for the characters.

>>53689607
I did this same conversion in a better way. Just use the back of their body with the cape as the back of the body for the CSM. Then cut the arm's shoulder and shoulder pad in half so that they mate and dissapear into the fur cloak. Ive probably got some pics around somewhere.

I use a 2 part resin called "amazing casting resin" its usually at michaels craft stores.
oyumaru for the moulds and plunger syringes to inject, you still get some air bubbles but as long as the mold is good the cast needs minimal filling

>>53693928
I have litterally made hundreds of dollars worth of models on one purchase of the resin. When you mix actual bits in with the casts its even harder to notice.

>>53694519
Looks very nice. Sadly it doesn't seems to be sold in France, nor easily accessible. I'll see if there's any store that carry something similar around.
Do you have much of a setup for the molding process? What I've seen recommended and used so far is using lego pieces, seems to work well enough.

>>53694581
I dont even use that, once the rubber has sat in boiling water long enough you can just roll a ball and press the bit flat into the mold about half way, once you pack the edges tight against the piece it should hold its shape until it cools to apply the other half of the mold rubber

You painted it the wrong way, IMO.

That would be a 100% acceptable Chaos Terminator, IMO.

>>53688373
Disagree!
>>53688341
This is fine. I'd have put the autocannons on the left side of the turret and whatever pintle gun you felt like buying in the porthole, but that's just me.

I think this always happens to me with a GW project; I think big dreams and when I start I'm like, "The fuck am I getting myself into."

>I've seen people use tans or browns but I don't know if that's for a specific contrast or just to match their table
It's just a style choice.
Black works nicely with pretty much any kind of basing, but a lush green meadow theme with black rim looks a little more like a staged showcase piece than the same basing with a brown rim. Just softens the presentation a bit.

It does kind of help to blend into the table a bit.
Imagine a unit of Valhallans with snow basing on a snow table. Black is kind of dramatic but ice blue trims blend with the table better, while still 'framing' the miniature somewhat.

Depends on what you are going for. On urban rubble bases or something that is dark anyway it's not that big of deal if the rims are black, cause the basing is dark too.

As for your original question I think the orange wash looks kind of nice, but makes it look like they are standing on mud. For the paintscheme of the guy in the middle I think the drakenhof nightshade would probably best. Would even be a nice color contrast to the orange bits.
Not sure what's going on with the guy on the left though. Is his armor green? Cause that might end up a bit too colorful in the end, so if that is part of your scheme, maybe just go for something neutral and wash the base black instead.

>>53701791
Honestly I didn't think the skull was that big of a deal, but the fact that the dude actually fucking covered it up because a couple anons said shit was something special. Who the fuck takes shitpost on 4chan that seriously

I had wondered for a good while if you could use casting resin with Oyumaru. I'm really excited to hear it doesn't ruin the Oyumaru.

>>53702039
Basically what the other anon said. It wasn't amazing or anything, but yeah, skull on a raider. Something that usually wouldn't really get much of a reply, but someone responded to his asking for criticism by saying "Yeah, paint over it". Like two or three other people tagged in, and then he actually fucking did it and posted it like "Now what?"

>>53702066
Kinda wish I did but at the time I really didn't think it was going to go full meme-status. I mean, how many times have you seen people try to push a meme and it just falls flat and is forgotten in like a day?

Leadbelcher. No other metallic comes even close for brushes in my experience, besides Retributor Gold, but Retributor has way less use compared to Leadbelcher. It's all-purpose, it's easy to bring down to darker shades, and it's Just Good.

Runner-up is Retributor.

Yea guy on the left was first attempt at mephrit dynasty color scheme. Probably need to get the shading better. And I really need to make a lightbox

Thx for answering questions as well, the drakenhof will probably end up looking the best even if it is a little dull, I'd rather that then it to pop too much

Dheneb stone. It's a great near-white for stuff teeth, eyes, canvas or highlights on something dark. Plus if I need something to be actually white I can always count on dheneb to give me a good base to work from.

Okay, first time painter here. I got the paints but turns out I don't got the paintbrushes. What can you all recommend that won't murder my wallet but will also not murder the definition of my figures? All of mine pretty much look like this, and are my sister's from when I was a kid.

Pretty much the sum total of what I know about brushes is sable = good and citadel brushes are generally overpriced and bad (the latter being disputed).

>>53702735
I like the Army Painter Highlighting and Base Coating brushes - the ones with the red handles and not the white ones. I'd suggest them for any newer painter. Don't bother with sable until you're familiar with treating brushes well.

>>53702735
Everyone and there mother is going to tell you Winsor Newton Series 7 Kolinsky sable.

That and the meme soap which is just brush soap and conditioner mixed together into a little brick.

If you don't want to spend $12 on a brush (people will tell you to do it anyway) or you have some moral objections to using the tail fur of a rare weasel that is technically illegal to use in the US unless you go through all the legal hoops, there's stuff like the Princeton Summit synth sable brushes, and the Escoda Versatil, which is about as close to real Kolinsky sable as you're going to get without buying the real thing.

>>53702735
>sable = good
true, but you can just as well buy synthetics that are good. They may not have the same life expectancy, but are a lot cheaper.

I find the main difference between the two is the spring of the bristles, so depending on how you paint or what feels good to you you may prefer one over the other.

my mate got into the game after seeing my stuff and bought $2,500 dollareydoos worth of Eldar and 6 months later hadn't painted a single complete unit, he had this idea for his wave serpents and asked me if i'd do it for him because i'm not a complete noob at painting like he is (i'm still no pro painter either) and the deal was when he got his guardians painted id do it.

If you're by chance reading this post, good work buddy, you finally did it. for everyone else, i hope to get some feedback on pic related! first time giving Eldar stuff a real crack so advice also welcome.

It's supposed to be a galaxy effect right?

I think it's partly the picture washing out the color. But it the color change is a bit too subtle imo and the stars could use a bit of variation>

yeah, urks me a bit too as i'm also a poorfag who grinds up his forces bit by bit as i have the spare funds for it, but at least it's entertaining watching his partner get on his case about not painting them considering how much he dropped on it.

>>53703070
colour is definitely a lot more vibrant with a strong transition, i just have a potato for a camera.

i do agree on the stars though and i figured out a better method for doing them, i have 3 more of these to go so this was more or so the test run, but if it urked me and it urked someone else then definitely something for me to change and improve next time.

Okay, a question. So I have a Taurox to make, and I really don't want to bother with the dude on the inside. Is it gonna be a big deal if I just don't bother with that shit on the inside if I close off the top? I know you can see through the slits, but is anyone actually gonna bother?

Only you and Duncan will know.

Has anyone here painted Caesar miniatures before? I got a pile of tiny skeletons ready to paint and no idea how well it holds paint

I need help coming up with a chapter scheme.

So they're a DA successor, which means robes. Either way, I have bone armor, green weapons and green robe lining. But I need a trim color, and a robe color. I was going to go with a dark gray but I dunno. There's also the problem of icon/heraldry colors but i don't want it to be red.

And the chapter icon would just be the trim color.
