Heyheyheyheyheyhey

Hey

I found this ninja sneaking around my place. I disarmed him and demanded he tell me why he was sneaking around my place. He said he was sneaking because he was very sad that he was naught but bare metal with no paint or base. I feel bad now and want to help him, but I can't decide on what kind of paint-job I should give him.

He told me what kind HE wants, but I didn't care.

SO, dubs (or better) will determine what color scheme I use on this sad ninja.

I will not accept suggestions involving "derogatory or controversial" schemes (like nazi swastikas or swear words, or anything I feel like is "innapropriate," really) since I intend for other people to see this model.

>>53810889

helmet highlights are way too thicc but its a nice start.

I may need to do some private recasting myself.

There's a bit from a discontinued model line I need a LOT of to make a build work. I have greenstuff and a wish not to spend too much money. Can it be done?

>>53811533
Same anon. If you want resin, I picked up the kit I did this with from Hobby Lobby for about $45 after the coupon. Alumilite Super Casting Kit. There's a guide in the OP, or on the 1d4chan "Casting" page, that'll help you out a ton. Get the kit, and you'll have everything you need in quite good quality. And there's enough resin in there for about 250 of these bases, so there's probably enough for you to get a pile of bits.

>>53810936
Emile from Halo Reach.

>>53811560
Hm. This is a bit much for what I need. I'm thinking that if I'm very clever I can make a greenstuff press-mold.

make greenstuff, paint with a release agent like olive oil, and press the bit into it, matching its natural moldlines. also embed some pegs in there for alignment. then when the greenstuff hardens, repeat for the other half. Add channels as needed.

not sure what to use for the casting material yet, though.

Up to you how you want to do it. I'm just giving you an option that I know works. If you're willing to deal with Milliput as your material of choice, pick up some oyumaru sticks, less than twenty bucks and you can reuse it for years.

they usually look like blue bars and are reusable.
just look on ebay.

>>53811750

repostan since I didn't realise the last thread was dead.

What's the advantage of having the green baseboard, whatever it's called, that most people seem to have? I'm watching some videos to learn to paint and it seems to be very common.

One anon mentioned it was a self-healing mat and he didn't find it very useful, any other opinions?

>>53812151
It is a self-healing mat, yeah. It's nice to have because you can cut on top of it without any worries. It is also good for measurement, since it's got the lines and all.

For the record, though, I have played it. It was okay, but I ended up just playing Torbjorn toward the end because it felt like playing battle-engie in TF2 again. Really it just made me want to play TF2.

The art direction is the only thing I legitimately hate. I can't stand the way all but maybe two or three characters look and I've felt that way since day one when they had the announcement banner up on battle.net. If you dig it, good on you, but I think it looks like ass and I'm under no impression that is anything but a subjective opinion.

Looking to start painting space wolves soon, and am wondering if there are any companies that provide a paint similar to Citadel's Russ Grey. I'v looked at multiple websites and comparison charts, but no one seems to carry an alternative. Even looking atBuypainted's videos, he uses Vallejo Game color paints like Sombre Grey and Wolf Grey. Now in the thumbnail the models have a great Blue color to them, but while he's painting the models, they turn out more of a light grey with barely a lick of blue to them. Please don't tell me I have to shill out for that tiny little pot.

Begon, shills. Vallejo has better bottles which have more paint in them for cheaper than citadel pots. While GW does sell some good products, they are universally overcosted.

>>53814205
You weren't fucking kidding. I didn't even know the paint existed desu, Anyway, Sombre Grey is the same as The Fang, which if you're going by Duncan is your base paint. Wolf Grey is your highlight. As for Russ, there's literally nothing I can say there. I'd have to see it painted down to give you an idea of what to do.

Local hobby store sells Vallejo for $2.99. Local game store that carries GW products sells GW paints for full price, so $4.25 on a 12 ml pot.

I don't really have a vested interest in Russ Grey. The other guy does- for why I can't say. I'd just go with something else, mix for the result, or use wolf grey for the layer and Ghost Grey for the highlight.

You can stop trying to sound smart or skilled, because everyone in here who actually has talent already knows you're a hack because of your immediate, anti-GW no-matter-what stance. Even Golden Daemon painters will buy a pot of GW if it's what they had in mind.

It's the anon trying out Glaze Blending for the first time again. Finally got the model highlighted enough to the point that I like it so I moved onto base coating the rest of it. Also worked on the OSL effect and can't understand why I never tried it sooner.

Belt seems wonky, not sure what to do with it and I don't know if I want to make the wings on the chest black or leave it gold. Speaking of Gold, I picked up Vallejo's Liquid Gold after hearing some good things about it and want to try it out myself.

Looks like Warstore has kneadatite for a tiny bit cheaper than Amazon, but he doesn't ship free... if you're planning on making one big sculpt out of GS, that's the wrong way to do it, though. Build your armature up out of something cheaper (like foil and milliput), then put the fine details on with GS.

Grams per Square Meter and sorry I think I read my cans wrong, there was a sticker on mine saying 420 GM. So I thought it meant how thick or heavy the paint was.

Trying to find a good substitute for Chaos Black that isn't hobby brand. So far, I've bought Storm, Canbrush, Khameleon and Nippon Lazer Pylox.

what should I use to fill in the gaps inbetween where parts fit? someone said Tamiya Putty White is good. Is that good for plastic warhammer kits? I'm new and want to do some quality work..

>>53816296

>>53816306
On smaller rank and file models it can largely be ignored,and greenstuff or liquid greenstuff CAN work

>>53816056
Naah its not even that impressive, its just a IG commander shoulder pad. I just had to laugh at how much of a retard I am.I probably will post him when I'm done with him for critique, right now he just has a black shading over white undercoat to help pick out details and the blue on his armor.

Fwiw, I've never experienced issues that other people seem get with outside temp or humidity using rustoleum flat black. I'm even pretty terrible with a rattlecan

Can we brainstorm some ideas to modify these Big Guys? Thr shoulder pads are attached to the arms so apart for head swapping and new purity seals I don't have many ideas

>>53816893
>Thr shoulder pads are attached to the arms
You could just cut the pads off under the arms, reconstruct the shoulderjoint with a ball of GS and cover that with a new pad.

I'm just eyeballing this since I've bever seen a primaris in person, but it may also be possible to kitbash them with the various marks of terminator armor.
So enegrgyclaws, powerfists and whatnot should not be hard to come by. Assuming they can use those.

>>53815131
I'm more and more proud of you with every new wip pic anon.

>>53816977
Why the fuck would you even think that GW would go through the trouble of keeping the pauldrons the same size if they didn't want them to be interchangable with the upgrade kits they've already made then

>>53817017
The starter set, no. Future sets, yes.

>>53816826
neat

maybe you can share some of your colors, and how you went about it, perhaps? I'd really help me on my travels

>>53817103
I was talking about the chads in the starter set

>>53817140

I started by painting the face Mechanicum Standard Grey followed by Celestra Grey and followed up by highlight the carapace and with these same colors.

I painted the markings Khorne red and started highlighting some edges with that color too, making sure to blend the color into the black.
I then highlighted the red areas with Wazdakka Red followed By Wild rider Red. I painted the teeth Tallarn Sand followed by Pallid Wych Flesh.

The ribbed green parts are simply Moot Green highlighted with Yriel Yellow while the tongue is Sotek Green highlighted with Baharroth Blue. I'll probably add more steps on larger models but this seems to work for Termagants and other smaller Tyranid.

Does anyone have any recommendation for headswaps for Cadian guardsmen? I'm looking to add a bit of variety and character to my endless ranks now that I'm gearing up for 8th. 3rd party or GW are both good.

>>53817163
>http://pastebin.com/p6bVhGsg
Most of them have guards like miniatures, often better than GW's. It really depends on the style you're going for

>>53810596
Hey /wip/

I recently came into possession of a used Hierodule and Hive Crone. I wanted to strip the paint off, but I've never done it before. From what I understand, simple green works best for this. Can anyone confirm or give me any tips?

Thanks.

>>53817248
Thanks, will take a look.

>>53817163
Victoria miniatures, Maxmini, Pig Iron, Blight Wheel, Mad Robot and puppetswar are all good places to start.
Depends on what you are going for though.

As far as GW heads go you can use literally any head of both the fantasy or 40k range, unless it's an elf/eldar one.

The Empire and Bretonnian heads always look nice for Imperial stuff.

It's from the catachan jungle fighters sprue and I need a bucket of them for my Rough Riders conversion. As yet the only sources I have found sell the bit along with several other sets of legs which are useless to me.

>>53817490
there are a few 3rd party peeps who sell rough rider legs.
Curious constructs comes to mind for example.
May be easier just to buy those.

>>53817259
Simple Green works, but expect to take like three weeks for all the primer to come off

>>53812987
He may have been talking about mixing paint. Orange sometimes works better as a highlight when it's pale

>>53817575

Cold Ones, from the AoS dark elf cavalry set. Because dinosaur cavalry.

I'm not seeing a rough rider using the bit you suggested in that link. I'm on my phone...am I missing something?

>>53816476
I dunno Super Clean always been my favorite followed by LA Awesome

>>53817946
In the mniddle of the page he is comparing the rough rider bits from curious constructs with the ones from victoria miniatures.
A little further down is another picture of some riders.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think the saddle portions of the cold ones should be similar to the horse ones.
GW kits were usually made to be somewhat interchangable with each other.
Don't have any lizards to compare though, I only have some horses here.

>>53816893
you can simply cut off the shoulder pads, did this with mine and replaced them with BT pads

>>53818052
I found one featuring an unsadsled Cold some from the lizardmen set and it looks like it might fit.

It's a good plan b, for the moment. I still want the catachan legs but if they're unavailable I know what to do. Thanks!

I'm not sure about the video but Wolf Grey matches Russ Grey in my experience. Vallejo does a good job at matching most of the citadel colors. There is also Coat d' Arms which is just the old citadel paints, and you will find a match there.

What are you aiming for in terms of a conversion? In theory you could probably find a way to convert them into terminators which could be cool, though I doubt it would be cost-effective.

I really like these new Sector Mechanicus bases, they really tie completely different figures together. The CSM at the top has me trying to find some sort of good-looking backpack to go with it, any recommendations? I removed the mechadendrite on the Watcher as anon suggested and it looks far better, I also changed the staff to something a bit more fitting of its stature, tying in with the Tzeentch-theme that I've got going. I love the look of the AdMech guy, it's so elaborate for a single-piece figure. The Imperial Space Marine just got a Chaos shoulderpad since it's already quite a busy figure, and the Scavvy ganger (now a Chaos cultist) got some arms from the Neophyte Hybrids kit. Gonna give these a nice scrub after working off some mould lines, see you all soon again!

>>53816758
Fuck, I love it. Good work anon.

>>53818797

>>53816758
Great work. Simplicity and good, striking colours work wonders for Tyranids, I find.

>>53819011
i already washed the metal with devlan mud 2 times. thats why it is so similar to the brow/grey cloth

>>53819038
Maybe nuln oil? It works super well for me. Or possibly agrax earthshade on the cloth.

Once I am done painting my figures, should I seal them with some sort of clear coat to protect the paint?

How to yellow?

>>53819288
Start with white.

>>53818924
The scavvy ganger lines up pretty good with current chaos cultists, neat

Reposting this. I've realised that I want a havoc launcher on him somewhere but I don't have one because I based it off a space marine predator and not a chaos one. Canvassing for ideas of what to do...

I was thinking a bunch of nurglings loading each other into the hunter killer missile that comes with the kit, but that might be too jovial for this guy. Or I need a rhino anyway so I might just go pick up a chaos one and nick the havoc launcher from that. I think the rhino will be much less mutated but will be heavy on nurgling inhabitants.

>>53819953
Just counts as that gaping maw for the havoc launcher on the idea that the tank projectile vomits?

>>53812151
it's situationally useful. I have one mostly because I paint on a glass-topped drafting desk and need a more forgiving surface

>>53819953

Serious question. Did you get that as salvage or did you buy a box and then bang up the model by hand?

>>53820090
Its new, have I missed something glaring?

>>53820315

Nothing to worry about, anon. Not familiar with Nurgle miniatures so I was just wondering if that's how the model is supposed to look or was it all hand done.

>>53815613
I've never done press molding, but I have used milliput & GS; I'd use GS. Milliput's like clay, goes mushy when you get it wet.

Are there any decent, simple basing techniques for something other than a generic grassy field? I'd like my D&D monsters to look like they're standing in a ruined dungeon, not a bright, happy springtime meadow.

>pic unrelated, just for visibility

>>53821868
You can use GW's texture paints for dirt and stuff, if you want something like cobblestone I'm afraid you'll have to buy or made custom bases

>>53821809
>huge fucking mold lines on the helmets and shoulder pads

Cmon anon, those are Kasrkins, they deserve better.

>>53821868
Get some putty like milliput or something, mix it and use that to add the flooring.
You can either make small balls and press them flat or lay down a smooth layer and carve it it.
Milliput dries rockhard so you can sand and cut it as well.
You could also do the stones separately and then glue them onto the base, only works if you pin your mini onto that afterward, not so great for slottas.

You could also just use cardboard or whatever else.
I have a pack of plastic mosaic tones I could use as paving stones too.

I've been looking at the Electro-Priests for Admech, and I've decided the models are decent but clash a bit with the rest of the range, plus they're £80 for the full unit of 20.

Since I'm DarkMech, I decided to use my billion spare Kataphron claws, Arc Mauls and cyber-heads, plus some greenstuff cables, to make a big squad of Samech Redemption Servitors, or something close, to be counts-as. Bearing in mind I'm removing all the Chaos bits and such, do I use Chaos Marauders or Catachans as the convertees?

We'll never forget, Anon.

Do I have 100% down syndrome or is painting tank tracks way more time consuming than any other part of the tank? I'm way, way, way, way more of a player than I am a painter so I'm just going for tabletop-ish quality. I primed and base coat the tank tan, hit it with some free hand brown camo with my air brush, and now I'm doing the treads with a normal brush. Just Abaddon Black, planning on dry brushing vallejo air steel over that.

Is there a way I can rapidly paint tank treads? It feels like getting the paint in all the little nooks and crannys is very time consuming. I think next time I build a tank I'm going to prime and airbrush the treads before I glue them on.

>>53826122
use a bigger brush

or you could just mask the rest of the tank off.

Something something feel the warp overtaking me

it prolly gets asked alot but:
what brand of black and white primer should I get? Quality matters most because I want to paint somewhat on the lower end of "show" quality, definitely above tabletop quality

What's some good music to listen to while painting Death Guard/Plague Marines?

>>53826759

Alice in Chains, because it's Alice in Chains.

Or go sludge, Eyehategod, Floor, Cavity, Grief, 13, Buzzoven, Corrupted, Dystopia

You should have a solid coat on your mini so that you can't see the original material.

Are all coloured metallics a hassle to work with?, I've bought a whole host of different ones from different brands with Gunmetal blue from Vallejo showing up first, it just gets so dark with a second coat and if I make a mistake it won't cover well over it, are all coloured Metallics like this?

Barely looks like he did anything in the video but I think that's just the low resolution I watched it at eating all my detail.

Any tips for getting good at freehanding? I'd like to bring a little extra detail to my shoulderpads and I don't want to have to rely on transfer sheets for my fine heraldry.

Don't make yourself extra work by getting excited and gluing everything together. Patience in building saves time and effort in painting.

It has been a long time since I worked with greenstuff/kitbashing but I think this is okay. What can I do to make it a bit more nurgley without going overboard on the miniature, like on the armor? I was considering drilling some holes in the plating but I'm not too sure. It ain't in the picture but I have a failed greenstuff experiment for one of the cables and a pus sac in place of flamer cable for the powerfist.

You hacked off the thing with the gothic arches on top and stuck it on the rhino. That is good. You are using a razorback lascannon? That is bad. It just makes it look like a backwards razorback.
>>paint
you must strip this.

You've definitely got enough going on in here already. Do the rest in painting

Anyone have any subassembly tips for Ravenwing Black Knights?

I prefer to keep bike riders unattached to more easily reach bike details like the seat/engine, but the arm attached to the steering bar makes that more complicated.

>>53823728
how do you layer?

>>53829717
Will do, thanks mate I'll do my best!

>>53825070
what tutorials did you use to learn how to blend?

>>53828910
Honestly, I think you did a much better job on everything that wasn't the cloak (and the sword wings). Your highlights are pretty wide and unsubtle. You didn't drybrush, did you? Using a slightly brighter color than the main cape on the top of the raised areas, then only hitting the sharpest edges with your current highlight might help. The worst offender area to me are the lower cape areas on the bottom left and near the sword on his back as well as the top of his hood. You did nice on the left arm and right shoulder. You might wanna try and work on the transition from light to dark in the recesses of the cape - currently there's only one dark area and it runs straight into your dirtied edge effect at the bottom (which you definitely needed to have done last and not highlighted over). It looks like you started to edge highlight the cape damage on the front but decided not to on the back.

The white stuff you painted looks like you could have benefited from starting with an off white like celestra grey and working up to a fine highlight of white scar.

Your whites and the cape look pretty thick in general, but that may be your photo bringing that out.

He doesn't look awful, by any means, but I can tell you have the skill to improve it from the areas on here where you did well if you feel like pushing it.

I hope I'm not badly bursting your bubble, here. He's fun to paint though, right?

>>53829842
Nice.

Yeah, I think any more and it would be way too busy. I think as it is now, it'll look properly freaky once you paint it. I like the lamprey mouth and tentacle being framed by the chaos star.

>>53829463
>other painters need a thousand different shades of thinner and thinner layers of edge highlights
>do weird things like put a thick wash over a different color to get a desired color
>Duncan literally just uses GW colors as intended
>makes the best looking models out of them all with a surprisingly small amount of layers

How does he do it?
Is it the Nuln Oil?

>>53823161
I like the gel one more, but loctite is generally dope. Gel one has top tier bottle and application, really hard to overuse.

>>53818654

ohhhh, he looks neat. I like his thigh plate.

What's with the word bearers emblem on his heraldry, though?

IMO bright blue gradient to white power weapons are best on deathwatch rather than glazed color over silver (or black) because it adds variety to an otherwise mostly black and silver model (and army).

I have no idea, was watching him paint the old hellbrute the other day.

For the base coat he literally grabs a giant terrain brush, dips it in the pot, adds a dab of water and proceeds to get a perfect thin coat like its a fucking photoshop tool.

If i tried the same, my dreadnaught would go into a disastrous meme collection.

Anyone ever buy recast termagants?

It's listed as a termagant brood, would it come with all the bits a normal box would?
