Oh yeah, don't bother with this for priming miniatures. it's trash and a meme.

If you absolutely must brush on primer, get a bottle of Badger Stynylrez (airbrush primer that can be brushed on manually, and has nice self-levelling properties) or just use automotive primers (Halfords Matt Black and Grey (500ml) is the best in the UK or get Krylon if in the US).

Swapped the legs on this captain because he was a turbomanlet.

What an absolute nightmare it was. I'll prep the miniature when I paint it, I know it's shitty now.

Second greenstuff project. A few questions:

1. should I expect this to stick to the raw wood, dry except for water during working?

I assume the alternative is to let these pieces cure then glue them back in place.

2. will there be any problem using greenstuff over cured greenstuff to build this up?

3. will there be any issue using milliput over either cured greenstuff or malleable greenstuff? planning to use for details.

4. I get a lot of tool marks and they don't seem to smooth out unless it's enough force to deform the whole piece. Is there a trick? What am I missing?

It's a pretty big model so I figured I'd practice a mini head with the bit left over. pretty bad for being all of 2.5mm tall.

Any other thoughts or advice?

Still need to apply some highlights and an icon on his back that I forgot about. I'm not a great painter, so I try to cover it up by using a lot of washes.

>>55305098
Noice, those finger nails are a bit clean though!

>>55305147
Yeah the leg swap definitely lets the torso detail breath, good call.

>>55305174
Looking good, don't be too hard on yourself.

>>55305150
1. It should stick yes, but you can always glue it back on if it pops off.
2. No, thats fine.
3. Nope, fine too.
4. Use a finer grit wet & dry sandpaper to eventually buff them out, and keep your tool wet.

Terminators WIP

feel like the bare eyes need something, looks like they're just skintone

looks like a good start otherwise

>>55305015
Gesso isnt a meme you shit it works fine.
The black is much better than the white in my experience

I'm going to paint my Death Guard with
>white armour with minor rust
>black cloth
>dark metal trim
>purple and blue fleshy bits

What would be a good colour for the smoke/flames and some of the minor accessories?

Should I go with dusty orange mars, black stones, or pale blue ice for the base?

Ugh, I hate getting sucked into this post, it forces me to actually start my knights!! But fine, I'll probably start putting some paint on them tonight or tomorrow....

>>55305510
Solid work for a beginner!
If you can paint inside the 'lines', you're already on the way to greatness
If you have it, try washing your gold areas with Reikland fleshshade or seraphim sephia

>>55305523
dusty orange mars, allows ez weathering at the base of the armour, and orange ties up the third spot colour so you can do like a pale orange smoke?

>>55305564
sorry meant for >>55305320

>>55305474
Really nice so far man, helmets look great. Are they blood ravens? I'm not great at 40k colours/armies.

>>55305510
I washed the head with agrax but I guess I need to work it a bit more into the sockets.

>>55305564
I washed it with agrax since it's the only one I have now, not sure I'll get other shades just yet until I decide which models to get next.

>>55305291
Still a bit wip, but yeah, need to dull and dirty those nails, prolly been scratching those boils something fierce.

Do these shields look silly or am I just worrying?

>>55305707
If you have to ask... now this is "just like my opinion man..." but they look really silly, impractical, and it looks like you're trying to impersonate Grey Knights... I'd remove them

>>55305707
Very silly, far too big for the models. Those are termie shields yeah?

>>55305126
torso looks like it's hovering too high above the "belt," it's making the legs looks too small, the amount of bling on top isn't helping either

>>55305707
I think they look pretty goofy mate. They're like twice as big as they should be.

Thanks for your feedback lads. Was going for Iron Knights, /wip/ suggested them some months back. Looking into getting the new Intercessor shields as they're a bit smaller, or just getting rid of the shields all together and just going for the normal chapter symbol on the pauldron.

>>55305565
I'm just a bit worried that an orange base, orange rust, and orange flames might be a little too much.

>>55305769
You could just cut the shield shape out of some plastic card. Would give you a bit more freedom with choosing how big you want them.

>>55305785
can do the flames in blue, green or any other color really.

>>55305845
I'm just getting back into the hobby after a decade out, I'd hate to get it over my head with cutting up things to be uniform. Doing the chapter symbol on the pauldron would give me more room to do freehand too, it's a pain on the tiny shields. Thanks though!

Still a lot to do, but getting there. Painting urge comes in fits and bursts.

Also, never paint without enough light. Went too heavy on the Runelord Brass highlight and what looked fine in the dim light looks meh in the sun.

>>55305558

Tears as in gouges or tears as in crying?

If it's the latter do you want it to look as if the helmet is actually weeping or like the terminator is a gang member?

>>55305741

I added a rope belt with decoration in that spot, now it's full and has a bit more bling on the bottom

>>55306695
He's an apothecary, the other marine is dead so he's extracting the gene seed.

>>55305707
I think they'll fit better as shielding for the bolters

>>55306819
or on the arms holding the bolters, like parry shields ?

>>55306695
>Why is he standing like that on the corpse of a brother?
He just ripped out the guy's geneseed so he probably placed his foot there to keep the body from moving in the process.

>What does he have in his hand and why is he holding it up like that?
He has the geneseed in his hand and is inspecting it through the magnifying lenses on his torso. The dangling thing is the storage capsule he'll put it in.

>>55306831

I have a feeling the shot, and lighting is making these look a lot better than what they look like in real life...but for some constructive feedback, you may need to thin, as they look a bit thick in paint, and yea you may need to work on your order of layering and applying the colors

First attempt at highlighting, think I did good with the red, not so much with the black, it seems to me that eshin grey has to be painted only on the very edges in a thiiin line for it not to look like ass, and then it's barely noticeable.
I wonder if it's even worth the hassle.

>>55306592

>>55309797
Hey, good going!
One trick I like to use is to use the Eshin Grey on the black, then slap a thin allover wash (glaze really) of Nuln Oil, it blends the colours together and hides any wobbly bits a little.

Overall looking quite rad though! what chapter are you doing?

How do you highlite deathwatch and not have it look like total shit?

That one faggot asking for DW stories inspired me to build a DW dude with random bits I had laying around. I usually do IF so this is completely new to me

>>55310182
I've herd it's best to use dark blues for highlighting black.

>>55310221
>>55310182

Would gunmetal blue from Vallejo work you think? I don't actually have alot of blue laying around, never use it.

>>55309207
I would say the guys wearing dusty pale green armour rather than the non-green guys wearing no armour

>>55310438
>I have panic attacks
is this hyperbole? can never be too sure around these parts.
Anyway, why do you feel that much pressure? If you don't like the results you can try again.
If the models are not on display nobody else is gonna see them unless you want them to.
The only way I can see that kind of pressure would be in a competition environment, but then I guess you'd have more confidence in your abilities.

If you can tell your results aren't good you can probably tell what the problem is though. So try to improve on that the next time.
You should see that as a learning experience rather than defeat.

>>55309651
Gold

>>55310461
>Would a proper paint scheme suffice
yeah absolutely.
Freebooters can be anything you want really. You could call your orks a band of mercenaries and use their own warpaint/iconography even.

The 3rd edition ork codex just had the models with some white dags as warpaint and appropriate banners/runes.

However if you want pirate bits there are loads of companies that do them.

If you want all of your ork to have hairsquig mohawks you can do that too though. Freebooters don't have a unified appearance as such. They are not a clan.

Practice. I sort of know what you mean as I used to waste a shit ton of time trying to make even the rank and file models 'perfect'.

Sooner or later you just need to take a step back and accept that none of them will be perfect and you are chasing an unattainable standard.

Just keep doing your best and you will get better and better until you reach a point where this is no longer a concern.

The other thing to try is just get some crappy models outside of whatever race/faction/system you want to work on properly and fuck around painting those. You have less attachment to them so if you fuck up there is no real loss, but you will have worked on your skills without risk.

>>55311568

I thought about putting some of the chapter info I've come up with but I didn't want to make my post really long.

The chapter is "The Red Dawn" and they basically act like the USSR in that they value to needs of the Imperium first and the needs of the individual shouldn't really be considered. Most of the chapter is going to be scouts who are generally used as grunts and fully fledged marines are respected veterans who take on different tasks depending on the situations, switching between tactical, devastator, or assault teams when the need presents itself.

also the filename is a thing I do where I give my dudes joke names until I come up with better ones. most of the time, though, they just end up keeping the joke name like one of my Captains who's named FuckBastard

Trying to plan the process so it's less of a headache. For beginners is it best to buy brushes, figure out the color scheme first, then buy each individual color as needed, or are starter kits best? Probably won't do citadel. Are reaper or army painter complete garbage though?

The Army Painter sets are decent. Just grab either their Mega Paint Set 2 or 3. You will have a decent range of colors, and they usually come with brushes too.

If you buy paints individually the problem you will most likely run into is changing your mind part way through a color-scheme and not having the colors you want on hand. Having a set however gives you some flexibility. On top of making sure you have the staples for things like Leather or bare Metals and Inks/Washes.

true, not saying that Windex is the only option, just that it's often used in airbrush thinner mixes for that particular purpose,
I imagine it foams less than the washing up liquid does, which would be required for airbrushing, but for brush painting it doesn't matter as much.

shade in drakenhof nightshader
first highlight with ulthuan grey
wash?(another blue?)
edge highlight in white+gaussblaster green

>Cloth
keep the black
highlight in eshin

Back in the days of Second Edition, my roommate and I played 40K on the floor of our dorm room. We had a carpet remnant, and had marked out a 6' x 4' rectangle with masking tape to represent the board. Then we'd pick our armies, populate it with terrain, and draw the mission cards.

Thin your paints. It's better to have two thin coats instead of one thick coat. Whenever you put a dollop of paint on your palette just dab your brush in the water and mix it in, works for me.

Paint things before assembling the whole model. It'll prevent accidental splotches. I usually get some corks and stick some wooden dowels into them then stick the parts on with some sticky-tack. The paint dries the parts onto the tack and you get a cheap stand for your parts.

The colour scheme is good but the highlight on the white is darker than the white armour itself. I would use a darker grey for the armour so the highlight pops out more.

It's a good start though! Your brush discipline is really good, O would say. Once you thin down the coats it should be great.

I asked this before but how do you make teeth? LIke free standing cured fangs to be set in a gumline?

I basically want to make a few dozen then pick the best ones for size and shape to actually use.

My tests (claw and fang) were underwhelming and as the water on the surface dried while they cured they stuck to it.

Any tips for tiny freestanding detail bits in this shape?

>>55318649
1st obvious one is thin your paints with some water on a palette, otherwise it'll be too thick and blotchy and clog details. In the wise words of Duncan, 2 thin coats is always better than a single thick coat

2nd: Paint a wash in the recesses of the armour to add definition, at the moment it all looks quite flat and none of the details really pop out. Also your main colour for the white should always be a very light grey, so that you can edge-highlight in white

3rd: Looks like you're painting white straight over black. That will never ever get you a good white, and instead you need to build up to the white with some base layers of grey. Refer to this vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRR7W5-F15c

I've made some test for the osl on the torsos. From left to right:
Multiple layer of citadel glaze, it's too dark, i couldn't see the blue without the flash.
Mutiple washes of blue from brighter to darker, was looking good at the beginning but at some point it totally remove the red ink, I don't know why.
Drybrush of white then few citadel blue glaze layer, it's the best result so far.

Any advice/other way to do it?

anyone know the perfect way to paint black warpstone? ive been looking online but there are no sauces that say how to paint it. can anyone help me with this

Jesus Christ WiP, finished my first tac squad after a ~15 year hiatus about a week ago. Went by my parents, and dug out some of my pre-hiatus minis. They are absolutely THICC. Anybody want to see some reaction image tier guys?

It's pretty easy, dude. The problem with Reaper Bones is that they are TOO soft. You can really carve them with a razor blade anyway you want.

Does anyone have any tutorials on painting battle damage for vehicles beyong chipped paint and bolter holes?

I fought against one once, the tentacles get caught and tangled in EVERYTHING, even worse if you have models with similar easy-to-tangle features.

>>55320794
I don't use bugs, but I still kinda want the model

>>55313504
They're on a penitent crusade so it wouldn't make sense in the lore unfortunately. I'm trying to model them closer knights à la Black Templars rather than slick smooth sci-fi soldiers.

>>55321057

Thanks! I know they're soft, but I haven't actually ordered 'em yet so I didn't know how soft. I'm thinking scoring the pattern into smaller sections and removing them bit by bit will reduce chances of slipping, too.

Now I need to choose a technique for making the tiny =]|[= to replace it.

If you didn't want to do any drilling to make a hole, I've done the following on a Rhino of mine:

>paint a circle in dark grey
>highlight the bottom 30% to give it depth
>using thinned out black wash create strokes emanating away from the impact, leaving a space surrounding the impact like in pic
>gradually layer up with more thinned black wash
>make sure you have a few bigger streaks leading further out
>lightly drybrush the inner-most portion of the streaks with black/grey mix, again emanating away from the impact

As for blood, are you thinking of something like an impact?

>>55321431
Gee Bill why do you get to have TWO bolters

>>55321431
I gotta ask, what the fuck is the guy on the left doing

>>55321431
Guy on the left is trying to outdo Johnny

>>55321343
Greatjob. The yellow paint on the bolter and hat looks a little bit thick, but then again, it's fucking yellow. How'd you do the intricate detail on the patches of the ammo barrel, badges on the hat and spike parrern on the loincloth?

>>55320794
>Worrying about being percieved as a creepy sex pervert.
You already have a Tervigon, a big pregnant bug mass-producing small bugs from its portable combat vagina. As long as you don't model tits on it, you'll be fine.

On an unrelated note, did you clip off the horns of the warriors to the left of your pic? they look neat with the smaller heads.

>>55321679
Those are Raveners

>>55319683
I love them too.
Here's hoping they'll be playable in Necromunda, if only as generic mutants.

>>55321343
Put some more shading & highlighting on the feather, but otherwise excellent.

Looking at them up close is even more painful. Dunc would be ashamed. Pic related is a WiP shot the first squad I've painted after said 15 year hiatus (I've posted them here before). The squad has since been finished, and the highlights touched up, but I haven't got a photo yet. Amazing the progress you can make by just getting old enough to have a little patience, and realising that the paints shouldn't be used straight out of the pot. Haven't painted any other minis between the before and after, either.

You have to take to heart the engineer's mantra:
"Good enough is good enough".

Perfect isn't obtainable and certainly isn't practical.

Be realistic about the result you're looking to obtain and obtain it.

No spare heads in the box.

Damn, thanks. Maybe I'll green stuff a hood on them and just add a shadowy face

>>55311400
yeah, no, these are fucking terrible. not even close to the box art

>>55314740
For undead types and thinga like poxwalkers, a neat trick I like to do before finishing up the eyes is to fill around them in the socket region with a very inky, bruiselike purple. Looks good on the slopes of really bloated areas too. Gives a good illusion that theres is a lot of festering blood and fluids under the skin

>>55314797
I would say so

>>55322073
You should drybrush (we're talking barely any paint on a tiny brush) the skin paint back over it because then it really will look like bruising.

>>55322153
Thanks anon, that's a really good tip.

I just picked up a horde of ghouls yesterday and am currently working up the nerve to start painting them tonight.

I'll give that tecnique a go with one of my homebrewed texture brushes

The middle guy has a coat of varnish on him, so he looks a bit shiney... I'll give him some extra highlights when he's dry (so... tomorrow night. It's a slow-drying artists varnish). Third guy is one of the two aliens I have... so he's getting some nice, red skin. The other one can be blue or green I guess...

>>55320887
Thanks, I've got a lot of projects going on right now, but I'm looking to paint up the test marine I've got at some point to get a feel for the color scheme. After that I'm going to start stocking up on scouts and buy another set of Termies, and a tactical squad. I might also buy a squad of primaris.
