looks pretty sweet, but the hand/khopesh combination on the left looks a little off alignment-wise. can you either move the blade up to be more in line with the pose of the hand or vice versa?

Had to have a go at a skeleton plague bearer. I think it'll just do the one though as it's way too much work for a lesser daemon. Happy with it though. And I've got 40 plague bearers currently half assembled that I'm going to batch paint...

>>54973157
Looks good.

I'm currently building Primaris from the starter set and I don't want to glue the guns so I can paint all the details in the middle of the model before the gun blocks them. what's a good way to prime and paint the guns so that I'm not holding them with my fingers as I do it? would it be good to just super glue them to skewers or something where paint won't go?

>>54973585
Just superglue them to a stick and prime them.

>>54973004

Does anyone have any pdfs of decal sheets? I'm having the hardest time tracking anything down that is ready made

Is there a third party bit or cheap, convenient way to replicate the old stormtrooper backpacks underneath the blanket roll?

Pic related.

Reposting from last WIP... My first FW model. It's a DG Successor Leviathan Dreadnought. CnC much appreciated. Since I took the picture it I made the highlights on the tabbard a little brighter and fixed an orange streak on the back. 1/2

What would you say you'd have told yourself a year ago to get to where you are now?

Sweet thanks for the input

>>54973157
Is that the Wizard of Oz?

>>54973750
most places that do IG bits do at least one or two different backpacks.

If you want those specifically you could make a mold of the ones you have and cast some more though.

>>54973570
I like the two headed one and the colour scheme of the one on the far left.

>>54973825
Leviathans are the best dread and I'll strongly disagree with anyone who says otherwise.
I like the colour and the weathering is nice, heavy but not overdone.
I don't like the way the spikes, bone or red look at the moment but that looks easy enough to fix.
The whole head setup looks a bit off to me, I'm not opposed to the zombie head but I think it'd have looked nicer if it was actually embedded more naturally rather than just plonked on, same with whatever that thing above his head is.

>>54973157
Recast?

>>54973977
Thanks, I think I need to add some oxide to the spikes like I did for the vents and joints and I think I need to dark the horns a bit more with some more agrax.

I picked up a Praetor that I'm gonna convert to a Chaos fella. I'm not too keen on the head. Any ideas on something that would fit it nicely? Bare heads are a plus, especially if they have a lot of lenses and implants.

I never thought I'd see myself shilling a GW product but these are really good for the money and well worth having in your bits box. You get four sprues totalling 340 skulls. Human, orc, genestealer, various daemons (the plaguebearer ones are particularly cool looking); they're all in there.

I've bought my share of third party ones in the past and while they've been good, they've usually been resin and you don't get much for your money. It isn't very often that GW make something thats genuine value for money, so definitely pick up a box of these if you see them.

Nice work. Looks smooth and the eyes and highlights are nicely done. Though the highlights on the black look pretty bland, try out a more black to blue highlights in the future.

Also paint the nipples gold.

Beginning to paint the Warpwalker. What's a good way to achieve that scratchy metal look? Was gonna do a drybrush but I'm afraid it'd look messy

I tried freehanding but wasn't pleased so I used a decal but somehow fucked it up with my microsol. Then I had to scrape it all off and ruin part of a nice paintjob... Repainting it now but it'll never look as good as before.

>>54975598
Beautiful freehand on an already great model. Your progress is inspiring.

>>54975630
Your model looks pretty sweet senpai.

If you want a criticism, the muscle indent on his chainsword arm looks a bit off because you have the dark, washed recess right next to the highlighted ridges, with no medium green in between.

Otherwise I'm lovin it.

>>54976144

I basecoat leadbelcher, shade with agrax earthshade, then paint over it with thinned down runefang steel, that way, the brownish tainted darker silver underneath still shines through slightly, like in pic related.

>>54975834
On the other hand, you can do what >>54975598
did on his blood angel, and make some battle damage by drawing a brown line and then highlighting that line with a brighter color. (so a very bright silver)

First Praetorian Guard done, came to the realization that somewhat realistic proportions for the face barely show up on the model, probably going to extrude it before printing the next attempt.

As I didn't get any suggestions last thread I asked, any opinions on other parts I really should try and replace? Planning on using Cadian torsos and legs, but I'm still on the fence regarding arms and weapons.

Yeah, using a Flashforge Finder. Pretty good as a budget printer for minis. Only does PLA, but has a good resolution for the price (~$500), and is low-maintenance. Still not good enough to make great faces, though.

>>54977355
Not the same anon, but I'd say the freehand looks very, well, freshly painted on. Maybe if you could use some weathering or desaturate the colours, it might help. Or adding a background of a priming-layer, made not to cover the whole banner, but to look crudely painted on. Either of these should be bothersome but doable without redoing the freehand. entirely

Is it better to highlight, then wash, or wash, then highlight?

I'm working on a Scythed Hierodule, my biggest model yet. My Tyranids' scheme has the skin has a dark grey, which I usually do with a layer of Eschin Grey, and then Dawnstone, then wash with Nulin Oil. However, I wanna pick out some more details for the big guy, so I'm gonna do some highlighting with Administratum Grey. Should I do it before the Nulin Oil, or afterwards?

I'm happy with how these guys look but I'm also starting to find them wearing the same undercoated armor a bit boring. I figured I would try and sculpt some decal for the sergeants and captains but I am not sure what items Lamenters would put on their armors. I figure it could be just the same thing Blood Angel's wear but heart themed.

I just glued together a Repulsor. How do I get rid of excess glue? Q tips and water?

Some pathfinders I've been painting, the first models I've painted in years.

The others are almost done but before I buy the tau starter set I wanted to get some tips. Any way I can improve these?

>>54980998

If you've already glued probably let it dry and scrape. moisture is a catalyst for super glue so unless you flood it I doubt its going to help.

>>54980998
Let it dry and try and scrape it off with a file or a hobby knife. Another idea is to take any large globs of dried glue and make it seem like welded metal.

How do the Secret Weapon Miniatures washes hold up vs GW's in the 'skill in a bottle' department?

>>54981191
I've only used a couple of the colors, but I like them - they straddle the midpoint between a wash and a glaze, and they dry pretty glossy. I use "baby poop" and "red black" for basing a lot

Looking for some c&c on the blend on the barrels, It's my first time doing something like this

>>54981480
Noted. Should I do Administratum before the Nulin Oil, or after?

>>54981619
The transition between black and purp is just a touch abrupt, but that's examining closely. Overall a great looking heat effect

>>54981619
looks pretty solid, but I think the purple could be toned down a little bit. I'm trying to remember seeing that effect in real life and I remember it being more blueish. Like in pic related, I remember there being a stronger blue followed by a thin ring of purple before going to the bronze. It looks pretty great as is, that's just nitpicking. There's just something very slightly off about the transition from the dark to the purple.

>>54981619
First off good job on the main painting itself, nice and smooth and that's a gorgeous orange. as for the heat blend? Too much. repaint the silver and pull back the wash blends like in this pic. Also be sure to have a small overlap between the different washes.

>>54981640
I would say after. Though personally I dislike the Eshen->Administratum blends on black. If you ever get the chance in the future, grab Dark Reaper, Russ Grey, and Fenrisian Grey. It gives a more blueish grey look.

Otherwise, Eshen->Nuln Oil->Eshen->Dawnstone->Administratum. Do go easy on the last tone paints, keep it subtle.

>>54981776
Eshin > Administratum looks more natural than the blue-greys, which is good for tyranids.

>>54981854
Ah, yeah in that case you are right.

>>54981776
>>54981854
I'll have to give it a shot, as my chitin is primarily Macragge Blue (I'm looking to make it more interesting. This is my first Tyranid I'm painting after I updated my scheme for my accompanying GSC)

>>54981949
Really you can go any way with it. I have seen Nids with a black base transitioning to violet, blue, and even red highlights (all through feathering of course.)

>>54981990
Sadly, not too good with featering. I usually do some lines of Necron Abyss around the edges of the chitin (I don't even know what that paint is called now)

>>54982086
They got rid of Necron Abyss, closest now is Kantor Blue. Would love to see your progress, otherwise good luck with the greys.

I dont.

I have a long term project of creating my own chapter and I'm making ten captains + the chapter master.

Originally I made the guy with the big sword, so I can proxy as power sword / relic blade / burning blade + Storm Shield, which is ( or was ) a nice loadout for a captain.

Not that the captain is the most point effective HQ anyway.

I also play narrative and not just 40k, but also Kill Team and roleplay.

im gonna be painting my slaaneshi marine a dark pink color, but would work well with pink for the armor trim? silver? gold?

>>54980840
You almost need to paint a Terran Dominion symbol on him. That base looks so much like Zerg creep, and the dread is all "eww, I stepped in goo!" It's funny.

>>54983576
I wish there were more templates like that which also shows different sides
I just started and I have no idea how I want to paint

also does anyone have any idea how to do a very very slightly faded red? I'm thinking of using citadel paints and just using khorne red by itself seems too dark

>>54983414
Looks beautiful. As for squad markings I found after studying some pictures that Lamaneters follow Codex (Ultramarine) markings. Though they do split themselves into Company's like Blood Angels, 10 total. And for that they just use numbers 1-10.

I was planning on putting Chainglaives on raptors to make warp talons, but I realized I never cleaned my resin. So while they're soaking in soap water, I decided to fuck with my sorcerer some more. I think it would be cool to have some lightning come off the force chainglaive. Thoughts?

I want to add a hellbrute to my Iron Warriors army. Im going for a very noncorrupted look and so ive decided to use an ironclad dreadnought, take off all of the imperial shit and replace them with the proper IW etched brass and decals.

The problem I have is that I want to equip him with a power scourge and fist but I would need to convert up a reasonable power scourge replacement. Im thinking perhaps a second fist with like chains wrapped wound it and hanging off that he could swing around like a lash or perhaps a flail that replaced the claw on the end of a melee arm. Any suggestions on what or how I should do this?

You mean skin on warboss? Or one of boyz units? My mix for skin changes everytime I paint orks.

On boss I ended up with:
Castellan Green -> Deathworld Forest wash (I won't be doing it again because it's barely visible and agrax makes too much mess) -> Loren Forest -> Loren Forest/Elysian Green 1:1 -> Elysian Green -> Elysian Green/Ushabti bone 1:1 -> Elysian Green/Ushabti Bone/Kislev Flesh 1:1:1 (this goes only on knuckles, ears and lips)
Of course everything applied with 2-3 thin layers, my tip is "if it's visible on palette but not on model after first brushstroke - it's good to go"

Has anyone built a dakkajet with wheels? I assembled my latest one with the wings pointing down, which looks nice and gives some variation in my planes but means the landing skid is even less plausible than usual since it would't even touch the ground. So I want to add a proper undercarriage. Not sure how to go about it though...

Also, can anyone recommend a good airbrush varnish for a humid environment? Been using pic related, but it's working out a bit expensive since I use a lot of it.

>>54985437
Squadron green putty is better, if you can find it.

Also, you can contact forge world to get a replacement for any mis-cast parts (assuming you got it from forgeworld and not a recaster). They are actually really good about replacing defective bits.

I've had some luck with replacements when I contacted GW about having found one of my Dark Imperium sprues broken in box.

>>54988000
Model still looks derpy to me but that's a really nice paintjob, weathering is easy to over-do but that looks realistic.

>>54984369
You need more of an intermediate green between your dark and light shades. Use it on larger highlighted areas--chin and mouth, cheeks, and brow (when it's not covered by a hat). Then use that highlight shade sparingly on lips, nose ridges, ears, and just a touch on his cheekbones/chin.

>Ofcourse fluff reasons override this.

I think it's pretty cool, at first glance it looks like a Space Marine with no arm armor.

>>54988860
How are you doing it? Isopropyl alcohol? I find it goes easier if you have a bunch of jars and don't try to do all the paint at once. Chuck one guy in each jar, wait five minutes, get the first one out, give him a quick scrub, chuck him back in, give the next guy a quick scrub, carry on until they have all had one, go back to the first guy... takes three or four goes to do the lot, but you don't have to scrub hard. Just enough to loosen one more layer of paint for the IPA to get at.

You can pour the IPA through a coffee filter to get the paint out and re-use it, by the way.

>>54988966

I got this weirdo tray with several different indents. Two are like small cups so I fill each with dettol and leave a bunch of minis overnight. Just dunked them about half an hour ago (7pm here) so tomorrow evening I'll give 'em a good toothbrushing and then pour the stuff through a filter like you said so I can strip a few more dudes.

It just smells and is an unpleasant thing to do in general, cause one wrong step and the paint gums up like a motherfucker and good luck getting that off.

>>54988860
I'm in the process of stripping >100 Orks using Super Clean. If you're willing to use a 100% SC mix you can just dump them in and give a good swirl every now and again. Filter the paint from the SC using Cheese Cloth and then use it again. When you brush them put them in a tub of hot soapy water and give the models a quick hit with a toothbrush. You don't have to put much to any pressure on too, you just want to get the loose stuff off and scratch the understuff a bit before plopping them back in the SC. takes two dunks to get to primer, and three to four to get to full grey plastic. Metal models only take one dunk, and I usually only leave the models in 24h per dunk.

I've got ~80 Orks in the tub at the moment going through their second dunk with a 3:1 Water to Super Clean.

Why are you making tiger paw movement?

>>54989286
Thin white paint with lahmian medium, not water. It won't dry as fast and it also won't clump up. White paint pigments are derived of chalk or lime, which are an ingredient used in cements.

If you don't to buy want lahmian, then consider liquitex drying retarder or flow improver. You will need to add many more layers of paint, but at least you won't get a model that looks like someone dipped it in glue then threw sand at it.

>>54989461
That's a nice Chad on the right, how did you make that hand?

>>54989414
Nope, it doesn't get gunky like Simple Green or Dettol, the SP can only eat so far before before you have to brush that layer off. It's kind of like rusty silver or copper in that sense. The soap and warm water just helps lift the paint when using the toothbrush. You can brush without any water or soap, it will just take more force and passes making you more likely to break details.

The filtering before reuse doesn't actually have to be done either, it just removes the paint particulates floating in the solution.

I got my monthly bitsbag today and the theme was chads. I didn't get enough parts to complete a single chad unfortunately, so all these arms and guns are likely going to be used for ork or general things.

There is very little you could do that would not be a better use of the pieces than Incepters.

Nice colouring. However, the colour lines aren't really the neatest. Perhapswhen you paint more, you could try masking the seam, so that you can get a neater line.

Don't get me wrong I love the hierodules and have one myself but that's a bizarre choice of first bug.

I don't really intend on getting chads ever, since my marines are chaos boys. All these ChadScout and ChadTact arms are going to be limited use. I also got some of the weapon-halves of the Aggressor combifists.

The gundrone is basically a way to represent the inquisitor's shooting wargear without modeling it directly on them.

Yay or nay on camo netting for my alpha pattern vanquisher? Its not glued in yet or drybrushed, Netting on the back of the turrent doesnt look right so most likely not gonna include it.

>>54990657
and ofc its not gonna be a lump of mess in the final version

>>54990657
Honestly? It's going to obscure the details a lot. At best, I'd put a little over the turret area, the one empty space between the machine gunner and the cannon barrel, as that has minimal detail. Another pair of spots would be the empty area over the side turrets.

>>54990852
fair point, i kinda like the thickness it adds on the gun, maybe spread it out more.

>>54989776
put him under a tall hat like the movie Ratatouille and fake being a professional painter.

>>54990657
i would spread it over the barrel and the dozer blade

How would you gentlemen go about replicating this white? Does it look like a straight black/dark grey to white, no blues nor browns involved?

Also, if you were to paint them in a similar style, would you start with the dark clothes before moving on to the white armour?

>>54990657
decided to go thru with it, pretty happy with the results, managed to get it work even when the gun is magnetized. Still gotta do some trimming.

>>54988936
main reason is because I have some white space marines, and Deathskulls also like white skulls.
I'll take your advice and rough it up a bit thou, thanks

>>54977176
then you need to thin your paints, boi. thin them so you can actualy see details.

>>54991353
Where did you find those trackguards?

Also, hypothetically, how much flexibility do the sponsons offer? Can you magnetize them to the tank/magnetize their guns?

>>54991727
The track guards were part of FW alpha pattern kit, Pretty sure you can find some from bits stores, if not, ive seen some 3rd party track guards going around that should do the job. Sponsons on this one are glued in, but ill go thru them with a saw and magnetize when i get small enough magnets.

>>54991727
Do Leman Russ kits not come with these track guards anymore!?

Not that guy, but my old leman russ kits I have have those guards in the kit.

>>54989411
I know i'm a mediocre painter at best but I need feedback to improve

>>54983660
and you need to drink bleach my good m8. guess what came first, you fucking puke.

>>54991791
I heard the new one don't have them
>>54991787
Oh ok so they come with the FW kit. It wasn't clear on the site

>>54991817

looks like they don't going by the sprue on GW site, wew.

>>54989776
>What would YOU do with a Pocket Duncan, /wipg/?
it puts the nuln oil on its skin or else it gets the hose again

>>54991867
it comes with a lot of other extra bits for customization too, im always left with bunch of them when im done with assembly

>>54991867
Yeah, you have to buy the "tank accessories" kit

So i really tried to do better this time, used lahmian only for thinning. Should i just scrap idea? and go for a darker easier blue?

oh hey taking pictures of white is almost as bad as painting it. Almost

>>54991151
If I had to replicate this I would try something like :

- Corax white sprayed
-All over wash with nuln oil thinned with lahmian medium
-Layer(s) on pure white (maybe off white?) thinned with medium, leaving the black wash into the recesses
-And after those steps I will paint the black

>>54980878
>>54980879
>>54988285
Colour analysis programs reveal it has more blue than green. So Stegadon Scale Blue would be more accurate. Green is just wrong.

>>54992324
Green is not a creative colour.

Hey WIP. I recently came into possession of a busted monolith (broken in half) and it gave me a fantastic idea. Shoulderpads for a stompa. I have access to a 3D printer for the small stuff but it got me thinking, what other broken things or bitd could I use to make the body?

>>54991239
I like it, what kinda green stuff you use?

>>54992497
Maybe necron body's for fingers/toes

Paintin a couple of the big lads who been hittin the binch. Left is more complete than right.
>>54992497
Id just make the body out of plasticard, I dont think it would be too (technically) difficult to just copy the GW stompa but scaled up slightly to fit with the xbawks monolith pauldrons you're planning to give it.
From a skill-based standpoint its easy, but if you have a short attention span like I do it might be hard to get it to completion.

>>54990657
That bluegreen is sexy as fuck. And the weathering is really well done. Very nice tank.

>>54992739
Looking great anon.

>>54992005
jerry cans, pick axes, steel cables, shovels, containers, bags, cloth rolls, antenna arrays, etc, you name it.

>>54992073
>>54992030
it had way more than that, a lot of regular IG stuff as well, like tank commander and a lot of other stuff.

How can I paint muzzle burn on a flamethrower ?

>>54992227
The colors look good together. And practice will make it easier

>>54992963
thats what the hold one had too, 4 sprue I think, didn't have all the extra turret options thou.. and of course you had track guards.

Heat Bluing follows a gradation from blue to purple/black to orange to coppery tones. Just build stripes of that patter up with thing coats over boltgun metal. Or if you want to something technically simpler/sooty looking, build up black and brown washes to give it a dirty scorched look.

>>54989411
skull needs some definition and the highlights on the black are way too thick at the moment.
The red looks super flat on the gun at the moment and it needs to be neatened up a bit (I assume it's still WIP?) mold lines on the tassels and tubing on the gun, white in the eyes is a little big

>>54993348
Ok thanks

>>54987775

I hope that was just a sweetheart rate for a friend, cause if not you're getting ripped off. Most commission painters charge much more than that.

I agree with this guy except I think you should use either nuln oil or army painter strong tone.
