>>55324758

She's the only one I have.... but God has she been hit hard with the ugly stick. She lives with my chainsword wielding "Space Eunuch". Not sure what GW was thinking when they named him.

So I won some store credit at my FLGS and figured it was as good a chance as any to get into 40k. I picked up a beginner paint set that came with clippers, paints, glue, and a brush, and some adeptus mechanicus skitarii.

what the fuck do I do now?

>>55325037

Oh and I've got some gray spray primer I was using for craft projects, is gray primer alright? I see most people use black.

>>55325037
Watch Duncan, paint dudes, have fun.
And remember to thin your paints.

>>55325037
Clip minis, shave minis, glue / prime, thin, layer, highlight/drybrush, base, seal. Good luck

>>55325037
make sure you get some more paints
That starter kit has a good variety but it obviously won't be enough
Are you gonna do the standard red robes?

>>55325071
any color is fine it just changes how your base coats will apply/look.

>>55325205

Yeah I'm not gonna be able to afford more citadel paints, I lucked out with the store credit. It's gonna have to be the wal-mart brand for any color not in the kit. Married life is suffering sometimes.

Red robes, yeah.

>>55325403

Got it, thanks.

>>55325484
LET'S DO THIS

>>55325496
You should look into Vallejo paints, they sell them at hobby lobby, about half the price of GW paint

So, as a first-time painter, I fizzled around with some paints and mixing and applied some to my plastic minis. After all, I'm not pleased with the color (how it came out, how thick the paint was etc.)

Question now is: how do I remove the paint from the plastic without damaging it? Will my Basing be damaged too, do I need to respray it with base coats? I heard from people in my LGS that they had always mediocre results trying to remove paint from minis.

Another simple question: As stated I'm new to painting at all (I gailed arts miseeably in school) and I'm not having that many colors available. However I'd like to mix certain stuff, e.g. black+grey, to get a darker grey for example. Should I try to keep this in a wet palette, or should I consider buying new paints for the sake of consistency? Reminder, I'm pretty bad at drawing and stuff related.

Thanks in advance for your answers. Cheers.

>how do I remove the paint from the plastic without damaging it?
Meet your new god.

>>55325694

Store credit dude here. One of my friends is offering to trade me his shittily painted guard army for my extra Kindle. It's a complete army he says. Should I do it? I didn't realize I could remove paint from minis so I hadn't even been considering it (it's REALLY bad)

>>55325694
Shame I'm not from America; I'm from overseas. I assume this is some kind of glass cleaner? Would that actual work too, or would that dissolve my mini? Kinda afraid after hearing many of those 'yea it dissolved/broke' stories.

>>55325727
a few dollars spent on some simple green or on the Easy-Off oven degreaser can turn a shite army into a fresh new one waiting to be painted.

>>55325677
Soak them in pine sol for like 3-4 hours and scrub with a toothbrush (repeat this untill you reach a point where you want)
It won't be 100% but if you want to avoid corroding the plastic don't just pop em in there and leave for 24 hours like some tutorials might say, the trick is to keep an eye on the progress.
You will definitely have to re-prime.

As for the paints just do what your comfortable with, if your worried about consistency keep a notebook of what you mix and the ratios you use.
Don't be afraid to try new stuff anon

>>55325755
Thanks. I'm not really finding myself all comfortable seeing that I'm a late-bloomer regarding the painting stuff. People tell me to 'just do it and learn' but I kinda feel bad if people are like 'lol your first minis suck' because they're pretty invested and good at it.

>>55325727
What's your friend mean my by "complete"? Any idea of how many men or the kinds of vehicles he's offering?

Use methylated spirits, it doesnt harm plastic and you can get it in any DIY store, plus its cheap as chips.

>>55325842

He's got a tank with a dozer blade on the front, kinda diagonal shaped, a jeep with an artillery piece on the back, one of the chicken walker things (sentinel?), about 75 guardsmen of various models (he says he has rogue trader era and some OOP steel legion), about 15 heavy weapons crews, and a plastic carrying case full of bits. and probably more stuff I don't remember off the top of my head

>>55325807
Don't get down on yourself because your models don't look perfect right away. Patience is key.

>>55325854
don't see why you needed to specify it was your gfs model but ok

>>55325807
You're not going to jump to Eavy Metal standard after 2 hrs of painting. Practice and enjoy the journey. Everybody sucks when they start out.

It's a lot better nowadays; you can watch Dunc on YT or read tutorials online. There was none of that when I was a kid.

>>55326194
Don't see why you needed to specify that I needed to specify that but okay. Thx 4 input

>>55325973
Yeah, seems worth it.

>>55326245

i like those anon

i did some painting after the last update but not enough for new pics. i decided to build and paint the rest of the unit so it's going to be done. i'm going to let them dry overnight and then ad the last details and the bowstrings

>>55325973
If you want to play Imperial Guard, then yeah, that sounds like a good deal.

>>55326278
I thought saying nothing would imply that it's mine, which it isn't. Still think it's badass and wanted to share. It's like some people try find something to be triggered at. Sorry if I triggered you anon

>>55326331
I just hate when people need to add they have a gf in their conversations if they are not asked. we don't need to know you have one.

>>55326407
I need to know if they've got a loved one into the hobby. It lifts my spirits

>>55326271
>>55326321

Cool, I'll post pics tomorrow.

>>55326459
why would that lift your spirits? to be alone and see him happy is irritating.

>>55326459
besides every "gf" paint job ive seen is an offence to the eyes. wrong colors and thick paints.

Wew lad. On a wip note here's the guy I'm currently working on. Still havnt figured out a flesh technique I'm happy with. Open to suggestions. Apologies to the anon for posting this specific model without specifically being asked

>>55326496

its strange seeing anyone past 30 with a personality. my parents cut all ties and became parents not aloud to drink have friends or do anything like this.

Looks great for a first squad.
Don't forget to do the bases, no model is complete without a base!

It's all about not picking a horrid shrew of a wife. I had a shit test I did where for a first date I'd take them to McDonald's and split a fries with them. If they complained they were out. But really we're kind of shitting up the thread here.

To get back on topic can someone explain this chart to me?

>>55326915
There's a difference between responsible and boring, you can still drink and have friends while being responsible, the key is striking a balance

>>55326917
yes let me just "stop" being pissed off ok sure. also it was my father who told my mother no friends

>>55326938
my dad told my mother she cant have friends and he got rid of his. im sorry my parents weren't out getting high and drunk.

>>55326915
You must be a fucking troll. how old are you?
keep this shit out of wip

>>55326967
Maybe if you stopped thinking in extremes you would realize that there's a mid point between no friends no alcohol and being a hedonistic pot head. But I guess you're too stubborn to understand that.

>>55326917
Tells you what paints you need to achieve the result on the edge. Start in the middle column and work left or right

>>55326992
im not a troll and im not going to continue talking to anyone who just thinks that because someone is arguing.

>>55327006

then why do you even have this hobby? if you found your lifes happiness

>>55327252
It's very shit. I recommend keeping the white scar/ceramite white for edge highlights only and do the majority in Celestra Grey layered Ulthuan Grey. Those are much more reasonable paints and don't clog like the white does.

>>55327243

>>55327710
How? If you're going to give criticism you should be specific on what doesn't work or was poorly done so that the creator knows what they need to improve on. Just saying "looks bad" doesn't help anyone.

>>55327821
People will compliment your models when they are good, sometimes though good stuff is ignored. I've had some of my stuff go without comments before. People on here will also criticize models on what needs improvement and that should be taken as an opportunity to improve, not as attacks on your skill as a painter. If you want smoke blown up your ass go to instagram or something.

>>55327899
I want my models to be perfect especially fulgrim

It's been years since I've bought a GW kit so I forgot that they don't bag things up neatly and just throw everything loose in the box and hope for the best.

>>55327922
Then keep practicing and listen to criticism. Also don't try to make things perfect, they never will be and you'll ruin a lot of stuff trying to make it perfect.

>>55325677
>how thick the paint was etc.

did you read nothing

Two general questions.

Does anyone else not enjoy patch painting? Patch painting gets me done faster, but I feel like the quality suffers.

Also, who else paints before they build models? I don't see people paint 100% put together models.

>>55325727
yes because it's crack now and you might as well buy as much as you can before you have to start succing dicc

>>55327973
I don't like painting more than one model at once and I always paint in as many pieces as I can.

>>55327973
I patch paint, but only specific models. I run Necrons, so you can imagine.

I paint in sections, depending on the model. If I assemble it, and a feature interrupts something behind it, I do some painting before assembly.
So for example I paint the crest and ribs before putting the gun on the warriors.

>>55326194
why would he take credit for work that is CLEARLY superior to his own

>>55325854
just give up now and offer to clean her brushes

>>55327973
I usually build my models completely before painting, If there's pieces that obscure details I want to paint, like guns over chests, then I will typically leave those off and paint them separate, but I've started just building them fully before painting because it's less annoying to put them together first.

How the fuck do I go about painting seeker chariots. I tried leadbelcher on krylon flat black with a druchii violet wash and some runefang steel on top of that but it just looked ugly
Also, should I be using krylon flat black or something else? I noticed that the paint I put on can be scraped off with a fingernail pretty effortlessly

About to paint the terrain from the SWA box. I don't have many yellows, so I'm planning on going with brown and steel for more of the walkways, and rusty red for the large pipes and containers.

However, I'm not sure what to use for the walkways. My brother tells me to use Runefang steel, but I think that might be too shiny. Is a metallic color a good idea for this?

Paint doesn't cure the second it becomes touch dry. Also no matter what, any model you intend to actually use to play will need varnish to protect the paint.

Imperial Guard from a fuedal world I'm still working on. I want them to work with knights but still be regiments of IG. Also, IG don't get reinforcements from home? So I feel dumb for having a very themed regiment if they can't replenish losses from home.

2. A specialist branch from the Inquisition
3. Colonists who civilized from scratch after crash landing their mother ships with little supplies provided.

>To get back on topic can someone explain this chart to me?

Like >>55327038 said, you pick a colour in the middle column - a Base paint. Base paints have more pigment, and designed to be the first coat on top of your primer.

If your technique is layering (for most things, especially Space Marines, it oughta be!), you layer the Layer paints shown as you move from the middle column (your base colour) to the final highlight shown at the far left. If your technique is instead drybrushing, you move from the middle column to the right.

The end result is shown on the Space Marine backpack on either (layers, left; drybrushing, right) side.

Despite being permanent ink, they have a tendency to smear when touched, too. It's not like some sexy RX-78 where I'm just going to build it and put it on a shelf - our models are meant for tabletop wargames, so they get a lot of handling.

What's some good battlefoam/cases to transport models in? I'm halfway through painting my first army, Imperial Guard, and need something mostly for the guardsmen and heavy weapons.

So I'm about to start painting some Custodes. Issue is, I've already painted a ton of golden dudes for AoS, so I'm looking for an alternate lore friendly scheme for them.

Any suggestions?

Anyone know some good cheap crystals to use as warpstone for bases and the like? Wanna really convey that eerie corruption on my skaven bases

Should warpstone be only green? Or could other colors like yellow or purple work

Post skaven for inspiration please

Vallejo Model Air Metallics (no, you don't need to airbrush them) are the best looking metallic non-alcohol acrylic paints on the market.

>>55331092
Really? I've heard some people call the glitter paint so I've been using gw mettallics

Rettibutor armor is really good but leadbelcher hates me

Also auric armor is the worst paint I have ever had the misfortune of using

>>55331168
The aluminum flakes they use for the metallic effect are ground incredibly fine so it has a very shiny and convincing finish. You can always mix them with other matte paints if you want a duller result but you can't do the opposite.

Don't use runefang steel, that's only really for painting recent chipping and scratches. Personally I'd probably go with a dirty pale yellowey colour like they have, with lots of sponged-on chips and scratches in very dark brown.

>>55331019

>>55331300
>My usual go-to for painting black armor is priming in black and then just focusing on details
You never use pure black as a base for black or pure white as a base for white. You want to use a colour that's close so you have room to shade or highlight, respectively.

>>55331327
.-. Wat do then. I'm not great at painting but I want my custodes to look cool.

>>55330451
Not necessarily, you do get a lot a lot of ork builds that a just pure shit (e.g. 2L coke bottles covered in cardboard squares = stompa).
Planning and skill is still important, even for orks.
>>55330539
I like KR multicase, can order custom trays depending on what you have and the backpacks they do are handy

>>55331346
You should use a black base and then a very dark grey. Look up tutorials on highlighting black on youtube and decide if you want to highlight them with blue or grey!

>>55331741
Yeah, it had kind of a thick undercoat. I didn't bother stripping because I'm just testing, but... yeah.

>>55331693
Thanks, bro. I'm not sure exactly what bothers me yet - I think it's mostly the gems on the guns. They looked off, so I tried to outline them with agrax. I can clean that up a bit, but I'm not sure if it will look right either. Maybe should have non-gemmed the bumps on the gun.

I'm also thinking I did too much sharp edge highlighting with fenris grey on non-sharpest edges. Probably should have had more medium grey highlight showing. I used eshin but it barely showed, I'm not sure what I'd use otherwise.

I really dig the over all color scheme though. Bone/Black/Red is pretty rad.

Would Zandri dust washed with seraphim sepia look better than zandri washed with agrax then layered on flat areas with ushabti bone?

I could tell it was Ulthwe. Looks good bro. If you want more of a range of edge highlights for the black, you can use Mechanicus Standard -> Dawnstone -> Administratum. If I were you, I'd freshen up the gems after getting an outline/shade on them that you're happy with. There are lots of guides on how to do gems, pic related.

i do always use that instead and yeah I guess u could call it that

i file mine down for fine details but

for 1 a toothpick doesnt fan out like a brush and it is easier to do free hand with but it is just a different feel in general

Id say try it see how it feels

why does the paint have to cost so damn much. apart from vallejo stuff is there any other paints i could use?

>>55332782
Of course you can use cheaper paint. Your mileage may vary though. Not all paints really lend themselves for the kind of painting techniques most people do on minis.

That said, I honestly don't think paint is too expensive if you stick with reasonably priced ones like vallejo. You are painting miniatures after all, a little goes a long way.

>>55332808
>>55332803
alrighty cheers for that. I was under the impression that GW and vallejo paints were like some kind of "water varnish" and it was a bad idea to use normal paints on them

>>55332825
GW/AP/Vallejo is just highly pigmented acrylics. You can use craft shop stuff. You'll just need a billion thin coats. And the paint might not like being thinned as much.

>>55332776
Yeah okay, i might try it, i am very curious about this. You just do detail work with it, or can you also do larger surfaces with the toothpick ?

Thanks for your input btw.

>>55332887
its more for detail but i do entire models with it so for the GUO i started the base coat was a brown with a few washes and then all toothpick from there but the initial brown was done with brush

Oh, come on... no one here needs to stoop so low as to use brake fluid. Anyone can get rubbing alcohol.

>>55333041
Maybe, but it worked very well at stripping all paint and primer, without damaging plastic minis.

>>55332032

You could paint professionally if you dont already

>>55331058

Scale 75's metallics are breddy gud. Nothing outstanding in terms of quality (on a par with everyone else really) but they do some oddball ones which work well. Their 'Black Metal' is great for doing black armour on space marines etc.

>>55332817

Copy the patterm and add gloss varnish afterwards

>>55333070
A rock can work pretty well for hammering nails, doesn't mean it should be your first pick. Brake fluid's expensive by weight, and it's toxic. Tons of other things that can strip plastic that are safer.

>>55333079
thx man Ive actually done some commissions and will start up doing them again once im done with my nurgle army

>>55333103
I agree. Nonetheless, in France we do not have the equivalent of the pure rubbing alcohol you have in the US (or if we have some, I am not aware of it). Brakes fluid is one of the best options we get. (All the cleaning alcohol we can get are diluted and not effective at stripping).

That's not an entirely uncommon background for a regiment. There's plenty of low-tech feudal worlds where the nobility has access to fancy tech but the masses don't. Doesn't stop the Munitorum from accepting a tithe of fighting men, teaching them how to lasgun and throwing them into the meatgrinder.

Regiments getting reinforcements from home largely depends on whether there's an established tradition of raising forces from that planet. If there is then reinforcements are either raised and dispatched or, more rarely, decimated regiments are sent back to their homeworld to train and take on new recruits (and having fun learning about how the passage of time and warp travel interact).

Bit new to this as well, i get the basic principle of the graph, but still unsure about the exact application method.

Basecoat whole surface

Welcome to converting and making your own marines, newfriend

>>55334473
Cheers. I used to play back in the days of early 5th, slowly getting back into it with the army I started with but I'm determined to do them better than early-teen me did. Lots of small conversions to really make them /yourdudes/. I'm glad /wip/ is such a useful thread for this kind of thing.

Is there any airbrush primers? Or is it spray paint only thing for some reason?

This is the current bog standard terminator squad. I don't remember my picture being this shitty, but ... there are no extra heads in this kit. Unless you buy extras as bitz, convert one of your squad to be helmetless to free one up, or trade with a mate who has spares (such as the Blood Angel Terminator Assault Squad, which has four torsos featuring helmets and five different heads for the sergeant!), you won't be able to get them from here.

I'm finally making my own custom chapter project that I've wanted to do since I was a kid and started with 40k.

Space Marines are the single most customisable miniatures in GW's range

>>55334561

Huh. That sure is a shitty picture. After close in-person examination, I've found that on the sprue with the purity seals, there is an unhelmeted head; so, if you're willing for one of your squad to go without, that would free up an extra to put on your captain.

I'll probably just get a helmet online or dig around in my old bitz box. Thanks for the pic though!

Vallejo Airbrush primer. comes in different colors also and it (imho) the best primer on the market. can also be brushed on (which is great if you wanna fix some small details or parts)

Here's a better picture of those heads. I must've taken the other (earlier) picture with my old iPhone 4S. There're five helmets below, and the sixth heads is on the other sprue with the purity seals.

All space marine sprues come with enough helmets for all models, regardless of unit

>>55325484
No.

Right, but in some cases, you get *extras*. for example, If you get the new 10-man Space Marine Reivers box, it comes with ten models - but you get a whopping 24 heads! This allows you to choose for the squad it comes with, and/or top up your bitz box with the leftovers.

If you build your terminator squad as shown on the box - with a bald sergeant - that would leave you with an extra terminator helmet to put on the Ultramarines Terminator Captain, who comes with a choice of two unhelmeted heads (pic related).

>>55326668
Pretty damn good. As you go forward, you should consider mixing in some different shirt and pants colors, or adding nits of trim color to guns and shoulderpads. Once you're cranking out boyz, it's easy to just throw some red paint on a few shootas and shoulderpads, or do several with khaki pants. That sort of thing.

It's personal taste, but I don't like having mobs of orks where they're all uniformly dressed. Doesn't feel right.

>>55327608
Nice deffkopta, boss, but where's the flyboy gonna sit?

>>55333208
You can paint wide surfaces with it but u lose the ability to cover evenly so when I do larch surfaces I just apply the paint on with said toothpick and kind of spread it but it would be fairly easier to use a brush for this but I've gotten so use to using toothpicks that it's all I know now

Acrylic probably isn't any cheaper than resin desu, and the thicker stuff is heavy as fuck in large sheets and very hard to work with without a laser or router.
Regular, clear casting fibreglass resin is cheap as chips lad, just get some of that
https://www.fibreglassdirect.co.uk/1kg-special-water-clear-casting-resin-arts-etc-and-catalyst.html
Assuming you'll be pouring it about 1cm thick give or take, you could cover a fuckload of table in water effect for like than £30

>>55325562
I made that chart and I'm afraid it's litteraly the only faction you can do it with.

Even CSM, who have the biggest of "Your Dudes" potential, after SM, don't have enough named warbands with a different colour scheme to fill 100 cases. God knows I tried.

>>55336163

Yes they do with the new books and all color variations.

Even Thousand Sons can fill one third of that

>>55333162
>>55333173
Man even with Nurgle models I can't help but cringe whenever i see how poorly the Rhino chassis flushes.

>>55336134
Need a update where kit specific chapters (BA/DA/SW/SW/GK) are removed or split into their own sections

>>55336239
Well yes but I try to keep it logical and "fair".

You will notice that I organised the Marines by Legion number and then added their successors after them (roughly so, some chapters like SW and Salamanders don't have enough successors to fill their line, so I put chapters that, in my mind, could be related).
No point in making a chart if half of it is Ultramarines or Thousand Sons. I wanted to give every sub-faction an equal chance.

>>55336323
Bloody hell mate. People can do that themselves. If at least they would paint what they roll, that'd be a great step forward.

>>55336383
Rolling GK when you've got vanilla marines or SW when you've DV DA models kinda blows.

>>55336413
I mean, it's not exactly hard to reroll, is it?

It can also be used (I hope) when someone hasn't bought anything yet and wants to see what fate gives him.

That, and if someone discovers new interesting chapters thanks to my chart, I'm a happy man.

>>55336474
Ah that way, yeah that makes sense.
Had an autistic moment.

>>55333170
Honestly I'm not sure that many people could afford to pay him to paint to that standard, even if he just barely broke minimum wage with what he decided to charge per hour the client would still be handed a monstrous invoice at the end.
Unless Elon Musk wants to preview his future army of mars or the Donald decides he wants the most beautiful army folks, I think he'd be stuck painting with brushes and washes like us scrubs.

>>55336369

You can do the same with the new CSM placing the god-aligned marines under their numbers, dubs being the original legion

66 Emperor's children, 77 Death Guard, 88 World Eaters, 99 Thousand sons etc...

>>55336785
But...but anon, my autism, my organisation?

Really the only thing I'm laking is about 20 to 30 warbands with a color scheme that is actually different from the parent legion.

There's an impressive looking backpack in the BA tac marine sprues that I use for captains and such. So t have a shot from the back but it has some fancy shit going on with the vents

What would be a great colorscheme to combine together promethium pipes and all the other sector mechanicus sets? We usually play on a martian ish battle mat.

Where can a humble man find any bitz like these? Looking to add some ammo cases and supplies onto my marine tanks so they look like an army that's been in the field for a while. Are there any guard bitz that would work?

>>55333173
I like it! I would consider adding some freehand Nurgle circle-symbols on the top rhino doors OR a dark/antraciet chaos star. Perhaps when you army is complete see if you want to make something on the rhino pop out as an eye catcher. it might be the bell, but then i would think about how to make it really stand out on your Rhino.

>>55338577

There might be resin sets for 1/35 modern armour with a similar look.

These Death Guard sculpts are a treat. Too bad I don't actually worship the Bloatlord myself, but I will have to make do.
Playing around with some ideas today, very loose.

Anyone wanna give me tips on making these Peasant conscripts better?

The lore right now is essentially there's various regiments which are based on fuedal class. Peasants get thrown into the conscript battalions and their pay goes to their lords. They can earn their freedom and be invited to join a freikorp, which are the dudes with feathers in their cap. The majority of the soldiers I want to be like, glove slapping, selfish, prideful idiots who all want to look like peacocks.

I also have a lot of Rough Riders I'm planning on making from OOP empire knights and swapping the heads for either

Tempestus Scion heads (most sci-fi looking)
Skitarii Vanguards (sci fi knights)
Greatsword heads, which are the most themed for being flamboyant prick regiments.

I also run a bunch of Tempetus Scions. Socially, how should Stormtroopers slot in? What about Imperial Knights? Am i making it too complicated?

I've been working on a pipe system.The pipes and corner/end pieces (which will be put on bases) are all seperate so you can put it together in tons of ways.

I'm planning to put rivets on the paper bands and put some welded/riveted square plates across the long tubes to make it look as if they've been patched up for reasons.
