Finally started working on Robin. I think he's the smallest model I've ever attempted (I've painted stuff like nurglings, etc. before, but nothing with this amount of detail).

So far he's been pretty fun to paint.

>>54861044
These look so cool. :D
As for the white it might look "chunky" because of the old sculpt. rather than the paint itself.

Also for the future, when painting white you might want to use a mix of bright grey AND white on the flat surfaces, and only use pure white on the edges/most raised areas/etc. That might help with your problem.

>>54861044
Citadel paints are great but their white and black is notoriously shit. Stick to Vallejo for those

I painted my minis yesterday, but today I'm seeing spots where the paint went missing and I can see the primer underneath. Am I missing something? I used Italeri paints.

>>54861191
Italeri paints are just shit, unless you stuck a varnish over it it'll flake off.

>>54861217
Ah okay. Any recommendation on a varnish? Don't wanna get shit one like I did with paints.

Thanks senpai

That colour was supposed to be off-white but I didn't use enough gray. Gonna apply a darker layer above it, it's already chunky af so another thin layer won't hurt.

Thank you for the help. A local model store sells Humbrol Matt Clear Varnish liquid form.

>>54861377
The liquid varnish can be a little finicky, try and get it in a spray can if possible. Any matte varnish spray can meant for plastics (so anything from automotive shops) is also fine.

Failing that Games Workshops is pretty good if a little pricey

Really clean looking models overall. The only thing that stands out right away is the highlight on the center guy's chestpiece. The one on the left is bright and smooth while the one on the right is thin and inconsistent.

The metal part is an undercoat of eshin grey, with leadbelcher on top then a wash of nulnk oil. The white parts are a base coat of a 1:2 mixture of white scar with dawnstone, followed by white scar highlights. The emblem is a base coat of dryad bark with retributor armour followed by a wash of seraphim sepia.

wew lad

seriously though, it's a lot easier to just use a white primer, or use a grey primer. don't make it harder than it has to be friend

>>54864902

Water is fine. Depends on what paints you're using but enough for it go on smooth without pooling (probably thinned too much) but without stroke marks/blobby (not thinned enough).

When in doubt though it's hard to thin too much, it just takes longer because you need more layers.

>>54864902
>Should I just use water for that? And how much?
The general rule of thumb is a milky consistency. There's no hard ratio anyone can give you because some paints are more viscous than others.

>>54864935

I just bought some gray primer for my own stuff. I'm a little confused why everyone flocks blindly to priming with black - I get that it adds shade/hides mistakes better than white... But i feel like it's cons outweigh it's pros a lot of the time.

Water is fine for most applications, but you might do well to pick up some thinning medium (I use Reaper's "Flow Improver") if you need the paint to stay liquid longer for fine details.

>>54864922
>Seems a little disrespectful to stand on your dead bro's chest like that.

It gives you more leverage in case the "grabba" end of the Reductor gets stuck in the dead marine's enhanced rib cage (c.f. "Ossmodula") while you are extracting the progenoid glands.

While were on the topic of painting white, came across this

>Prime white, two thin coats of ulthuan grey. Then apply a 50/50 mix of lahmian medium and nuln oil to the whole model. Re-layer ulthuan and then highlight with white scar.

outcome is pic related (not actually my model or painting)

I like the grey hint to it, but what do you think would be needed to make it a bit whiter?

What are the other main ways to paint white?

>>54865060
This is what I used.

>>54864977
Well, in my experience, white primer tends to be shittier than black primer, i.e. it sprays thicker and does weird shit that black primer doesn't do. So for me, black primer is better than white, but grey is the best choice regardless.

Is it blasphemy if I use brush on primer??? I've been thinking of getting an airbrush setup for priming and larger models...

I can't use rattle cans (easily) in my area.

>>54865080
What color do you prime with?

>>54865105
Nope, Vallejo has primer that works with brushes, and Gesso works well too. It's more tedious than spray-priming, but you can do it all year round.

>>54865139

I've been using Vallejos black brush on primer, but it doesn't jive too well with metal minis (infinity). Hoping the gesso I ordered works better.

>>54865723
The main problem with Auric is that it's a layer paint so it doesn't have as much pigment as a base paint like Liberator or Balthasar. But since it's a metallic the less pigment makes it very thin and runny and coat very unevenly.

>Wouldn't mind some advice

The earliest mention of the Lamenters is of their involvement in the Badab War, where they sided with the Tyrant of Badab out of pride, and were granted The Emperor's Forgiveness only after a 100-year crusade of penitence. The Red Compendium has some details and a single illustration of their yellow-armour-and-checked-pauldron colour scheme.

Angels of Death, published for Second Edition in 1996, specifically lists five successor chapters, and hints that while there may be others, there are no records of them, and no other chapters claim Blood Angels lineage. This is contradicted by later sources (c.f. Knights of Blood and Carmine Blades).

The Third Edition codex repeats the same five successors, but says there are doubtless others... it just doesn't say who they might be.

White Dwarf 260 (by the old reckoning) refers to the Lamenters again as being the result of the "Cursed" 21st Founding, and it this point, there is "speculation" that they were born of an attempt to rid the Blood Angel geneseed of The Flaw. Third Edition roolz for using them as a Cursed Founding Chapter appeared in Chapter Approved. The article there does note that they do *not* form a Death Company, which contradicts later publications (pic related).

In Fifth Edition, they are officially considered a Blood Angels successor chapter, but the Lamenters are much closer to codex standards than to the unusual markings Blood Angels have.

I will eventually know how to stop being so god dam messy.

>>54866583
Thanks, I looked through the air again and think I have a solid idea on how the designate their markings. They follow the codex squad markings but I am pretty certain the numbers show which Company they belong to (Like Blood Angels, Lamenters have 10). Other thing I noticed is sometimes they swap places for Squad Markings and Company Markings being on the right shoulder and right knee-pad. I am not sure if it's a squad thing or just a preference of the individual marine. Either way it looks cool.

Hi, I'm working on The Changling atm and Im trying to pull all the stops out and get the best result I've ever done.

I'm using all the techniques I've learnt over the past 2 years of painting including nmm.

The trouble is I'm trying to achieve a very cool pallette with it but all the nmm I've done before has been very warm.

What's a good way off getting a cool nmm. Adding a bit of blue/green instead of/along with the brown is what I was thinking.

People here are not very well versed when it comes to technically good painting. So they see a good paintjob, they can't give good criticism.
Due to whatever inadequacies, people feel like they aren't good enough to comment.

And thus good painters congregate on other forums with like-minded individuals.
Sadly, result is basecoated primarines and few anons with actually good projects.

Pretty much finished modeling on this one, not perfectly happy with the arms of the little one on top. I put some pauldrons on since taking the pics and it works better.
I still think it's fine, but it is quite a bit removed from my original vision, because the maulerfiend arms were just bigger than I had them in my head and I couldn't find a pleasing replacement either.
I might get another drone and try again, but I have other dumb projects waiting.

Like this one. Not to happy with the hair, first time trying to sculpt them on wire instead of the normal model. Wings looked better before I put them on. The base is only temporary, but it had to stand on something.
If anyone cares about the five female not CSM, they also had their hair and pauldrons redone.

>>54869912
Command Squad sprues come with a few greatcoats and if you green stuff a red sash you can make some pretty convincing Commissars out of it. Plus extra special weapons you'll never say no to.

>>54869899
While I am under no illusions that you aren't a great painter, I don't like it much. It's too shiny. And the guts look like crystals rather than entrails. The freehand nurgling faces are fucking amazing, though, and are very fitting.

>>54870231
This is totally fine, if you like what you're doing, keep at it.

Would love to see some based models from you (and I don't mean the freehanded one), since I think it will break some of the 2d flatness.

Thinking of doing a colour scheme for my Death Guard based off of the sorta, for lack of a better term, "drowned corpse" aesthetic. Primarily using blues, greys, whites, and blacks.
I was thinking of having the primary colour of the armour be white or beige, with blue accents and corroded copper for the metallic pieces, with the flesh and mutations being a sort of blue-grey, with the flesh leaning toward grey, and the mutations leaning toward blue, any open wounds would be black with necrosis.
Just wanna get some opinions on it, good or bad. I am a tad wary of using too much blue on a Nurgle warband, but I want to make the army a sort of "Legion of the Drowned."

>>54870188
I mean, that's kind of the point. Commissars are outsiders in more ways than one, and their distinct uniform communicates that visually.

It is a bit of a shame you've only got one plastic option before having to turn to conversions, mind. Got to wonder why you don't see more loyal conversions of the dark vengeance chap.

OR

just layer all those paints on top of eachother, making sure to be drybrushing the layers after the wash and only painting rust on metal objects (modeled from cut up sprues)

>>54870402
This sounds really cool! The best thing about DG is you can be creative as hell with the nasty bits. I wouldn't worry about having too much blue, they're your dudes and they would stand out. Also consider doing the armor as the blue with copper, look at pictures of wrecks at the bottom of the ocean. That against pale, bruised/rotting flesh would be excellent. I'd steal your idea if I wasn't already planning on making mine hazmat yellow with radioactive green skin and such.

>>54871677
That's a good idea actually, I didn't think to look at shipwrecks that helps out a lot.
Also, I've been thinking, but these yellow pustules that basically all the Plague Marines have on them would make for excellent barnacles.

Do they need a helmet or would a bare head with a rebreather work? There's a bunch of different style ones available that I'm sure could work. If you need helmets, why not just regular MkX helmet?

The Reivers kits comes with 24 heads for ten models:

10 with skull face helmets
8 bald with skull face
2 mohawk with skull face
2 mohawk without skull face
2 buzz-cut without skull face

Looking at the ones without the skull face, they sure reminded me of the helmetless heads that came in the plastic Space Marine Sternguard set - guys with iron jaws and bullet-proof foreheads with names like "Flint Ironstag" or "Bold Bigflank".

Neato. Just finished 60 of those rotten bastards last week. Thankfully they are very open for all kinds of washing.

>>54869050
Really great squad.

Is using acrylic paint on minis a big no? I bought some recently, it's decent in quality and supposedly can be used for wood, fabric, and canvas, as well as more. Obviously the paint would need be thinned. Would I just be fucking up my minis?

>>54874450
miniature paints are all acrylic. The difference is in the pigment and viscosity of the paint.
So while you may not necessarily be 'fucking up' your minis depending on what brand or quality of paints you bought they may not be suited for the kind of painting on miniatures.

Best way to find out it to try. If you bought really high quality paint with fine pigment and good coverage you should be able to get good results.

If you bought cheap craft paint you'll probably get rough coats or streaky and chalky coverage.

How do I make some wet mud bases?

Returning a favor to a friend, trying to emulate some hot coal in this otherwise pre-painted terrain piece (before I painted it was basically a deep red wash over black, looked more like a basket of sausages). Anyways, tell me how I did /tg/ and if I can improve on something.

The idea is they carry anti-daemonic tomes and go where the daemons are thickest. Chanting litanies whilst they ping off their combi plasma etc. I liked the image of it

>>54874637
Gloss varnish?

>>54874290
I like it, maybe you could add some sharper edge highlights if you are feeling brave
The Chaos Tech-axe is very sweet looking

Help me decide what loadout to build for my reivers, anons. One or two sergeants? Chutes or launchers? Knives or carbines? Worth the effort to magnetize?

>>54861044
Try using celestra grey and ulthuan grey. Gives it a nice off white color instead of a stark white.

>>54874936
you should probably ask in /40kg/
I'm just gonna say that using magnets on infantry models is a waste of effort. Save them for tanks and the like.

I have vallejo black lava. If I use paint it with browns, a coat of gloss varnish and add some white glue to make some water...would that work? What do you think?

>>54875108
Might as well try it on a test base!

>>54874423
Look absolutely fantastic, anon.

How did you do that green liquid tank on the top left?

I'm doing a night lords army and I was just wondering about Ruin city bases/city bases and where should I buy them?/ the options.

>>54875108
>and add some white glue to make some water
not a good idea. Get a product that was meant for it like vallejo still water. It won't cure cloudy or yellow over time like glue.

I make my own. Great fun though it does take up some time.

>>54875216
you could check microart studio and dragonforge design. They both have several ranges that work for that.
Depending on what look you want you can make them yourself too though.

>>54875248
>>54875258
I'm Actually surprised that after looking around Games workshop has the best prices for those kind of bases, how did that happen.

>>54875503
they make them in plastic with a tool that was made in china.
The other cast them by hand in resin in america or poland.

They did them in plastic. Personally I love them, but doing your own puts a personal touch on your army, and costs even less if your willing to roll up your sleeves. These once are made with rolling pins from Greenstuff world.

>>54875503
>>54875525
>>54875544
They're made with plastic in china, as the other anons pointed out.
But they also have less detail, and are produced in bulk. The 32mm set contains 60 bases, usually enough to base all the infantry for Space Marines or other armies with moderate model count.

>>54875525
>>54875544
>>54875641
Thanks /wip/, I'm still new to the hobby and don't feel ready to make my own bases, but using the sector bases are better than just, astrogranite + grass tufts right?.

Greenstuff world rollers like the other Anon said. Or you can be lazy like me and just do broken 'Asphalt'.

>>54875751
doing your own bases can be a lot of fun and quite rewarding.
It doesn't have to be super hard either.
Just google around for a few tutorials and ideas.
You don't need to cannibalize a cities of death building either, if you just cast some plaster and break it apart for rubble you already got the main ingredient for ruins.

>>54875751
very true Anon, they're a relatively cheap option and can be painted to look really nice. They're quite detailed, and the price is certainly competitive.

>>54875768
I usually don't like cork bases, but that actually looks pretty nice

I bought 40 of these guys, they were cheap and in poor condition and I'm making them look a bit goofy. They will accompany my black templars and serve the Emperor as poor conscript bastards. Many laughs will be had.

>>54875875

why is there a flying cross behind the guardsman on the right

>>54875875
Aside from the guy on the left with the enormous hand, these guys look pretty good.

Fuck I forgot to ask as well?, What drill bit do I use to drill out bolter barrels, I have the citadel drill and the smollest drill works on the side hole, but it looks to small for the main gun barrel, but the next size up is to big?, did I miss place a drill bit. I really don't think I did

So I bought one of those bad boys from forgeWorld. I assembled the Main-Hull. But the Backside of the tracks were slightly fucked by a moldslip and the bit of armour above the tracks is also a bit fucked I could only partially salvage it.

Does Anyone have some Ideas on how I could Cover that shit up?

How do I not Fuck Up further painting this from there on? Its the first time Im painting ForgeWorld and I havent painted much Vehicles yet, Im thinking of just spraying it in one colour for the hull as using a brush on to much flate surface probably shows brushstrokes, should I go for a Recess shade or full shade? Probably going for a more Grittier look as its partially fucked on the back and its like 10000 years old

>>54874290
Try taking the middle one (with scissors) off and see if it clear up the profile.
Looking good so far, armor could maybe use some blueish shading?

Hot shit, coals looked so good I thought the white streak ontop of right one was smoke.
You can add some random green blotches to stone, add to that weather-beaten/lichen look.

>>54870128
I got a $100 airbrush+compressor kit at Harbor Freight. It's uhhhhhh... an okay setup. Major cons are that the brush is a siphon feed instead of gravity (more paint required in the cup) and it doesn't come with any way to control the pressure unless you buy a pressure regulator (That HF doesn't sell ofc). However, it's given me enough to feel comfortable with making an upgrade when I can and using what I currently have for rougher tasks away from my minis.

>>54875953
On the one hand, a gritty look for a 10,000 years old vehicle would certainly be okay. On the other hand, these things are revered relics that are held in highest honours. It's up to you though anyway.
Regarding the mold slip, well, without a pretty picture there's probably not a whole lot of advice to give.
If you want to avoid brushstrokes, apply multiple thin coats instead of a single thick one. Not just a meme, but that's how it works. Also, I heard painting your coats in different directions helps too, so e.g. the first coat is painted on up and down, the second coat from left to right and so on. Or you could just go for a spray can/airbrush.
I'd recommend a recess shade, if you don't want to paint over most of the miniature again, desu.

>>54875930
I think 1mm or 1,4mm is the right size, but I don't know the sizes of the citadel drills. When in doubt, use 1mm first, or take on of your leftover pistols or bolters. I know you have them, everyone playing Marines has a load of bits left.

>>54875875
