How´s this as a first attempt at doing checkers?


how do i actually keep them consitently squared? Is there a trick to it or just practice.

Also what color for the bolter? Red or is that too gaudy?
>>
>>54383104

Plastic bits are super cheap and plentiful on eBay. If there are any autists at your store like me, who buys a cheap set of heads and only uses a couple of the helmets, or who buys kits and then uses different heads on them instead of the original ones, they'll have plenty of spare Mk 7 heads. I know for a fact most Mk 7 kits give you at least one to three extra heads, though sometimes it may not be helmeted. Anyone with helmetless sergeants will have spare helmets.

Green Stuff is just Epoxy putty, at GW's usual ridiculous premium. Kneadatite is another brand of the exact same stuff, can get metres of it cheap.

Hobbyists also use Milliput, which comes in various colours and types, for a cape and not soft detail you probably want one of the firmer ones.

I wouldn't recommend clay if you're inexperienced, it's going to look like shite.

Is there a way to convert Primaris Marines and AdMech into Chaos versions without just adding spikes and various chaotic knick-knacks?
>>
>>54383115
Paint straight lines across each other before filling them in.
>>
>>54384416
Yes.
For anything more specific it would be helpful to know what you are trying to do/avoid though.

On a general note I'd say sculpting the armor trims from chaos armor onto the primaris guys would be a good start.
As for the Dark Mechanicus, there is only very little official artwork, but it mostly looks like regular Mechanicus, just even more scary.
The robes are tattered and their limbs tend to look a bit more insectoid - and spiky.
But for the minis themselves, just painting them dirty and adding chaos arrows and similarly themed freehand on the robes instead of the cogs teeth motif that they usually sport would be a good start.
Kitbashing with some Vampire Counts parts could be a viable way to go with that.

converting good looking chaos models usually requires a lot of effort and imagination
>>
>>54384245
Just needs practice as everyone's saying. Don't need to highlight every single edge, take a look at 'Eavy Metal stuff (ie. pics on the website) to see where they put their highlights, and always remember you can use washes or the base colour to thin the highlights back down if they look too thick.

>>54384459
What Vampire Counts parts did you have in mind? I'm intrigued.
>>
>>54384509

yeah I've found it weird on the FB groups where people are already trying to make Primaris armies from like two sprues. It's going to look crap in six months so why bother.
>>
>>54384519
I was thinking of their ghosts, necromancers and the like.
Kitbashing zombie parts with footsoldiers to emphasize the Dark Mechanicus' corruption. I'd image their skitarii equivalents to look more like meatpuppets than augmented soldiers.
So maybe even Graveguard with skitarii helmets and arms would work. Since they are wearing armor you could use the bodies without them just looking like skeletons.

To the Imperium the human form is holy. To the Dark Mechanicus it may not be. So maybe even some weird biotitans/servitors, like the mutants carrying the chaos altar could be useful.

I think it'd be a really cool opportunity for some amazing conversions and kitbashes to make an army like that.
>>
>>54384509
Icm buying the primaris box because it has like 1000 points worth of models for 2 armies I play for 130 fuckimg dollars. It would be retarded not to grab at least one. GW offering a value that "good" is rare.

Get a 0.1mm marker like pic related. Just make sure it's a permanent one, instead of just a 0.1mm architects pen ( because they'll smudge when you put wet paint near them)

I used this pen to do all the checkers and scales.

The painting is really neat! Get some black ink to bring out the depth on the model, it'll look infinitely better with minimal effort.

I have one of the older Mega Paint Sets, well the metal case anyway, most of the acrylics had dried, but all the Inks were okay. Unfortunately I've never really figured out how to use the Inks properly, so I haven't used them in years.

Might get them out and remember that smell, and see how I can use them alongside the couple of Shades I use now, Nuln Oil and Agrax.

Sorry I wrote up an epic reply but it got lost thanks to touchscreen shenanigans.

My advice is do not edge highlight until you are many many years in. Focus on other techniques while you are new. Especially do not use EH if you are trying to make a table ready army as you will go insane.

You gotta think about the human factors man. EH is about isnsanensanely time consuming technique, especially if you are trying to do it right. Painting a whole army with it is a quick path to madness. You might do it right a few times but eventually you will get fatigued and do a less than perfect job. And then, because EH is gay and needs perfect work to look good, your model ends up looking like shit.

It's not fun. It's not practical. Focus on different painting methods and save shit like EH for painting company, etc.

It really frustrates me that every fucking eavy metal model uses it, because every po new tries to copy it, then their models look like shit, so they think they are shit and just give up.

>because every po new tries to copy it, then their models look like shit, so they think they are shit and just give up.
Kind of sounds like you are just bitter from personal experience.

I mean, if you are serious about it any technique as got to be learned in order to be 'perfected'.
Your advice is basically just to give up on it.

It can be fun, it'd definitely practical if you want to sharpen up a soft sculpt or just want a clean tabletop finish that you can do quickly.
Cause it paints up really quickly if you can paint cleanly on a model that lends itself to it. Space Marines are the classic example.

As with everything else there is no one thing that works for everybody.
Always depends on the style you are going for and what your skillset is.
>>
>>54386194
Imperial Knights, maybe Inquisition, possibly homebrew chivalric space marine chapter.
>>
>>54386194
>So every model has is own paint scheme.
You can do Deathwatch.
Or a crusade army.

Imperial guard could work. Penal legion with guys form all over the place, or a regiment that was formed from leftovers.
Or you could just build a regiment that is basically just bretonnians in Space.
Give the men at arms lasrifles and the knights get explosive lances and the tanks are decked out like a grailchapel.
Some Space Marine chapters also do their personal heraldry thing, though usually just on one shoulderpad.
>>
>>54385862
Left is Rakarth flesh, 50/50 brown and purple washes (watered down), then Rakarth flesh again as highlight.

right is steel legion drab, sepia wash all over, no highlights.
>>
>>54386194
Imperial Knights, maybe a yourdudes chapter with detailed squad markings and sarge banners, tzeentch daemons, Harlequins, aspectdar has many differently painted squads but not really individual models, imperial agents can be non-standardised but is unlikely to be as chivalric as other options. You could do a vehicle-based army and go ham on variations on a theme, too.

just so you know anon you can still use them even though they are dried out, if you use an older tatty brush and a small glass of water, you can grind the brush and water into the dried paint and it will become a liquid consistency again. Ive got paints that are almost 20 years old that i could still use if i wanted to :) So yeah even though keeping old paints for nostalgia is same thing i do, you definitely still can use them to paint, though id advise testing it out on a not so special model before hand

And make sure that the re liquidized paint isnt gritty, as that will show up as bumps when you paint it onto a model. What i try to do is use water on the dried paint to get a little depression of paint, then pick up a glob of it and put it on some paper towel or something, that way you can see any chunky bits, and can dip your brush in water more to get it thinner to use too

looks really good anon, dont listen to the OCD people complaining about the edge highlights, the model will look perfect at eye to table distance. Often i find the more extreme or what some might call 'too thick edge highlights' really make a model pop. If i have a choice between an unhighlighted model with flat colours and a model with not razor thin edge highlights ill choice the one with highlights every time. The model is 100% done to a good tabletop quality, and lets face it most armies people play with are unpainted grey tides anyway, so kudos to you for actually trying, and following from that, no one has perfect skills out of nowhere, we only become better painters by imperfectly trying techniques

I'm in the middle of the IG version of this, but since there's so many models I'm doing units by different colors. My original idea was to have a marine chapter that was basically Brettonian nobles, who cart around their peasant PDF serfs with them to do battle. Every marine was going to have his own sparkling heraldry while the massed IG infantry would all look like dirty peasants in browns and dirty reds and blues.

If you really just want each model to have a unique paint scheme, basically every army has ways that could happen.

Tyranids with some Chameleon gene where each organism is shifting colors all the time.

Savage Orks who haven't agreed on a Warboss and each consider themselves their own Waaaaagh, working with others.

Tau renegades who killed their Ethereals like Farsight did and have an extreme reactionary stance against the Greater Good destroying their individuality, so they all express their individual natures through their armor.

Dark Eldar in a short-lived alliance just for a raiding party, soon to turn on eachother to take the spoils.

Rag-tag Eldar survivors of a dozen dead craftworlds and exodite worlds, now raiding as Corsairs, just trying to survive.

Chaos doing chaos, yo, Really, the fact that most Chaos warbands *don't* look like this is surprising.

A Necron prince went batty and decided he'd give his people their souls back with a little change of decor, for that individual, handmade charm. So, he whipped out buckets of paint and did some arts and crafts for a few millennia.

hah these inks properly stink, really vibrant colours too.
I think i read somewhere that they were originally made by windsor&newton but that could well be internet horseshit.

Any tips on how to use the Inks on miniatures?

Even though I'm an oldfag myself I never really used them. Guessing they aren't comparable to the modern wash Shades or Glazes?
>>
>>54387087
>Guessing they aren't comparable to the modern wash Shades or Glazes?
They are. Just different. They have less surface tension, so collect in the recesses of the mini.
They also have very strong pigment. If you drybrush something black and white and then paint ink over that you effectively colored everything in.
They tend to dry glossy, so matt varnish is necessary when you are painting skin or something like that.

It's kind of weird to me that they are completely out of fashion for some reason.
>>
>>54387195
>for some reason
Well that's easy, GW stopped making them.

What they put out has an enormous effect on the trends of miniature painting. Joe average just swapped his inks for washes and glazes.

>>54387195

yep when i first started using 'modern' stuff after a 15 year gap, I noticed the washes (agrax, nuln) were a lot more subtle and a lot more forgiving.

not saying its a bad thing, theres good reason agrax is pretty much considered 'liquid talent', its a pretty easy way to get good results.

but I do kind of miss the old mad garish colours ..

that's a pretty small complaint to be sperging out over, they don't even look terribly thick when you consider those are flat, near featureless parts of the model. I'm more worried about the mold lines I'm seeing on some of the boots.

I like the helmet. Giving them SM weapons shouldn't be too hard. You could try hollowing out a SM chest plate and sticking it on the front of an ork, with green stuff straps around his back. Power armour boots could work, cutting above the knee. I'd try and make everything look like it's just been strapped on, using green stuff.

Ah I see, their condex was a bit weird anyway and had some special rules that relied on specific terrain if I remember correctly.

Ok /wip/ I think I need some help with this conversion I'm planning.
I have a good idea of what I'm going for but I don't know what body and bits to use.
I'm planning on something like this: Two pronged power klaw with syringe on top that can be stabed into enemies on left arm, painboy syringe gun on hip or on backpack, backpack filled with various vials and drugs and has various tools on the sides, partially robotic left leg
leather armor renforced with metal sheets, deranged yet happy expression on his face and he's showing off a slight grin, right ear is chewed up, bionic right eye that seems to have a bunch of info on it as well as a bunch of useless bits and spikes
Twinlinked kustom shoota in right hand, it has syringes and tubes on it leading back to the backpack. He is hunched forward, power klaw dangling by his side, his kustom shoota is resting on his shoulder

I think either spellcrow's orc doctor or mad doc Grotsnik's power claw would work well for my warboss's power claw and that the old black reach warboss's gun would work but everything else I'm still kinda lost on.

Im having trouble figuring out the steps. Ive tried some different methods with varrying results.

My main conudrum right now is when to wash. Originally I thought wash would be the last thing to do (unless you wanted to do dry brush to which case wash would be second to last). Now Im seeing alot of people wash right after the base. Highlights and details coming after or even last (excluding dry brush). Seems like that would hurt the detail though.

Looks good but if you want it to look better try and get some paint on your brush but wipe off almost all of it, that way you get thinner and more controlled lines. Oh and use a wet pallette if you aren't already
>>
>>54392614
As someone who's considered Angry Marines as his primary army: yes.

Acquiring them is another matter. Look to bits sellers, eBay, and based chinaman. If you have a lot of Space Marines players in your area, you're going to want to bother them for spare bits. You'll have a higher chance of scoring more if they're real waacfags...because GW seems to enjoy making the fun things points inefficient.

Honestly, part of it the convenience of being on Amazon prime, but it meets most of the criteria based on one beginner guide I read. The focus is going to be a combined-arms IG army, not just a conscript blob one.

That's weird I've still got some decent scorpion green in one of the old screw top bottles. Something in it must make it slower to dry out than the other citadel paints.

Would you be able to put it on the other sides of the uh, things on his back? Im not hip on Tau so I dont know what any of that shit is. but if on those two things on his back had a fusion gun on each side it might look kind of cool. I like your color scheme btw.

Making chaos dudes that are counts as assassins. Here's my Eversor, anyone got ideas for the Callidus and Celexus clades?

Not necessarily thinking of an assassin falling to chaos, more like what would chaos use for an assassin with similiar abilities to the clades assassins. Spear from Nemisis is inspiration for pic related.

That said, your model is unconventional and shows some pretty good creativity. For the Culexus assassin I think I would use the head from that resin Warpsmith as a starting point.

Fair enough. I like it cause I don't have ton of time to dedicate to vasing or even painting, but I'd rather have decent paint job and an okay base than grey plastics.

If you add some other stuff to the base it'll make it look a lot more interesting, rather than just having the cork. I just personally don't like the look of cork by itself on a base, but I understand why people use it.

Highlighting on the armour and gun needs to be completed and some minor details need finishing. Some mistakes need correcting too. There's a fucking shitload of purity seals on this cunt, some of which I missed — fuck purity seals.

1, get the hair and other crap off the model.
2, go over the beetle with a wash to tone down the obvious drybrush effect.
3, slowly go over all the stuff on your base with the relevant paints to make it look less obviously fake.

Yes, they are so fun! It's awesome that another company was able to capture that same archaic techno-fascist vibe that the Imperial Guard has. (It's also a big plus that their minis are so much cheaper)
And that conversion is grim as fuck. I love that contemptuous pose--just blasting away at heretic scum in the trench the officer is about to jump into.

>>54394055
Calidus should use a Witch Elf/Wych/Daemonette base, and be given the fanciest looking sword you can find.

Culexus should use any gross looking Nurgle effect parts you have handy (like flies, or nurglings or something) because you ought to reinterprate the anti-psyker elements as some kind of Nurgle brain plague to rationalize a Chaos anti-psyker.

I'd be inclined to pass. Not that I automatically think it's a bad brush or anything, but it sounds finicky, and if something breaks, you're out a brush until you get parts. Maybe pick up a couple of parts kits if you can't live without it?

Left looks good with the black, but it depends on what you plan on doing for your scheme. What have you got planned?
>>
>>54397155
On top of these layers, I had planned a wash of nuln oil, then I was gonna touch up the high layers of trim with the same metallic colour, then highlight the green plates with loren forest. The pants will be washed with nuln oil as well and then layered with mechanicus standard grey.

Try a little oil or grease, it keeps it from sticking to things much better than water, and needs much less reapplication.
