Do I need to hide from grills that I enjoy painting miniatures?

yes it is you fucking mong

they all play tyranids

lurk /tg/ more you fucking cucks

also my gf got me warham paints as a present
I left r9k when I got a gf but i was bored and came back to browse before I saw this

>>39105858
It's artsy. Some girls really like artsy guys.

>>39106911
>artsy Chads
fixed.

Don't hide it. Don't randomly bring it up either unless you're asked about your hobbies. People who have hobbies and put time into them are far more interesting than your average Joe, Some girl might think it's cool.

>>39105858
Its weird if you make it weird. If its something that you're legitimately into then some girls will probably shy away from it and some won't, use it as a litmus test.

>>39105858
Hey op
Where do I start if I want to get into miniatures? In pretty sure there's a GW near where I live so I might go and browse there

>>39105858
If you look like the stereotypical warhammer player then it certainly won't help. Otherwise don't worry, lots of people have weird hobbies and painting isn't very weird t b h

I keep insects and still get ass, but I'm gay so it's probably different. Regardless though, people are not as judgmental as you think

Dont start with a GW store

they will rape you and your wallet and convince you to play ultramarines

please lurk tg and then buy smart so you dont waste your money and give it to the GW jew

>>39105858
What's the point of this? Why don't you just buy toys that are actually done being made and paint something original?

>>39105916
Whore "nerd" larper btw, fucking roasties and normies gtfo

>>39107044
>prepainted toys ever looking as nice as a well painted mini

>not enjoying the modeling and painting part of the hobby more than actually playing

they arent toys as much as they are a hobby that you can play a game with after you finish making them.

If you're so concerned with crafting something, why don't you carve them yourself? Seems like a shitty hobby. You may as well just buy coloring books to fill in.

>I enjoy painting miniatures
Oh anon can you paint me?

>>39105858

It's an artistic and creative hobby that requires a lot of patience and skill, you shouldn't be ashamed of it.

Of course women are always going to find a way to make it seem like your hobby makes you a 'loser' but at least you have one, which is one more than all these vapid sluts.

>>39105858
the gaming aspect can weird out some of them, but if you just paint them then it's fine, I used to play 40K and Fantasy as a kid but now they're just left alone behind glass as memories, and nobody has ever mentioned them except asking "wow did you paint these yourself"

>>39107111
cause I just like gluing tiny army men together and then painting them dude

I also practice sketching and some 2d painting in my free time too, but I just prefer tiny army men.

to be honest i would probably do model trains if wargames didnt exist. scifi supersoldiers and aliens are a bit more fun than trains though

How do you feel about rock collecting? I bet you REALLY cant understand why someone would enjoy that.

>>39105858

I would make it the fourth or fifth thing they find out about you.

No, just own it. Tell them something like
>I really like art. I do a lot of sketching, and painting. One of my favorite things to paint is minature models. The challenge of painting something so small, so detailed, and the patience it takes feels good
Maybe include something about how you prefer sci-fi/army stuff because they're more dynamic, and detailed.
Or some shit like that. It wouldn't be the first thing i said, but make sure you tell them (((before))) they see them. You need to make it sound interesting, before they lay eyes on them, or their first impression will be that they're toys, not art.

Mine likes that I paint. I always show her what I'm working on and she's interested in painting up some of my unused sprues next time she's here.

WIP Blightking.

I'm surprised more roasties havent gotten into Warhammer.
Not because they love it or anything, but because its a male domianted hobby with lots of potential for betabux.

Maybe its too expensive and time consuming to learn how to build, paint and play as opposed to playing shitty games like LOL.

>>39105858
As with all kinda weird hobbies, don't lead with it and maybe even avoid talking about it the first few times you meet them but after a connection has been established you shouldn't have to hide it.
What I'm saying is if a girl is already into you this won't make her run away, but if you're just trying to pick up girls then probably talk about something else

>>39105858
You dont need to hide anything.
They dont want to know anything about you anyway.

>>39107661
Really like the corrosion on that sword my man

>>39107428
100% this. Just own it and be honest about it, without being a stuttering gibbering mess.
>W-well it's art! Really! They're cool and I really like them....
vs that thing the other post said. But don't mention sketching/painting unless you actually do some of that other stuff too.

>>39105858
i want to get into painting miniatures but i don't like tabletop games or shit like that i just like painting and im tired of canvases and paper. how do i even get into this? what do i buy?

>>39107090
girl to the right looks cool

>>39108018
If you don't care about the game just check out the mantic, warmahordes or warhammer model lines.

Maybe perry miniatures if you like historical stuff.

Warhammer is the most expensive of the lot so I wouldn't recommend it unless you really like the look.

>>39107952
>They dont want to know anything about you anyway.

My feels man. ;_;

>>39108074
thanks man i'll check those out. many of the warmahordes models looked really cool.

>>39107661
OP, if yours even close to this, absolutely tell here.
Excellent work anon.

OP here. This is the more recent one I've finished. I've only just started painting a few weeks ago, so it's still mehhh.

>>39108404
>paints are actually thin

I'm proud of you OP
You posted best legion too

>>39108404
I don't know much about figure painting, but damn that looks good to me. Just the fact that there isn't tons of overlap is impressive to my layman's eye.
Change what I said a little to
>I've recently taken up paining miniature models. I like the new challenge of painting something so small and detailed. It's a good test of patience
Or some shit along those lines.
But if they're going to see them, letting her know it's a new hobby will be even more impressive when they see you're already good at it.

I suppose its either try to get laid or try to get my army painted, but painting doesnt make me cum so its losing out.

Any girl that judges you poorly for enjoying a hobby is not a girl you want to be with. It's better to be alone that have someone try to change you into their personal ideal. Have some self-respect, anon.

>>39107972
Thank you. I used a mix of sepia and earthshade. I'm going to be highlighting it and maybe adding some blood.

Chill out you sperg.

Unless you're in high school don't stress about it, just say you do it because you enjoy it. Just go with what you basically told us, OP. Everyone has "weird" interests and I'm going to say everyone enjoys painting shit because it IS fun.

There's this dish dryer that's being sold on Amazon.jap that is allegedly quite good at drying paint on plastic models.

Not so good at drying dishes, I guess...

That's pretty cool actually!

I usually paint two miniatures at once, so I switch between them as I go and don't have to wait as often for it to dry. Not that it takes more than 10/20 seconds anyway.

Hey! I'm a wannabe Skaven armchair warlord, painting my first set while trying to not fuck it up totally. Currently using some oil paint made by Revell (pic related, they are not finished). Any opinions, advices?
