Is this a legitimate GW miniature?

>>44265518
i have never seen the other pieces attached at the base bar in a gw metal mini, ever, but i've also never bought dark elves, so double check with some other people. pretty sure that would be fake, given my experiences

>>44265607
Yeah, that sword is odd, and i also can't remember dark elf nobles in metal back in the day when there were metal minis.

Yup, OOP (female) Dreadlord with Additional Hand Weapon

>>44265660
The bare metal looks even better than this, but thanks for helping me.
What is the usual price for an OOP mini like that? 5-7GBP?

>>44265689
You can ask for 10 and will still find a buyer.
Rare stuff goes for even more but this one isn't the case.

>>44265607

Neat, shame Im not into WW2 models.

>>44265816
What scale is that? If 1/48 or 1/35 you can probably build some ork or guard vehicle out of it.

>>44265806
There is only one right answer:
https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/dungeon-sisters-miniatures#/

No seriously, check this link and you should find whatever you need. No need to order from that store, just google the minis you like for other sources, or just ask here http://thedicebaglady.net/believable-female-miniatures-all/

>>44265871

But Im not into Orcs either, only IG army I would play would be Elysians and I think the model fits Deathkorps more.

Well, might get 15€ on ebay for it.

Reveal to me the Secret of Yellow. In preparation for my FW Imperial Fist shoulders, heads, and torsos I grabbed one of my ancient snap-fit marines and tried to paint it as an IF.

The yellow came out super-splotchy despite me basing it with Averland Sunset.

>>44267822

I hear a lot of good things about priming in yellow.

>>44267822
Bell of Lost Souls posted a very nice Heresy IF tutorial a few weeks ago.
Perhaps give it a go?

It looks easy enough to follow, and the yellow looks really nice and bright.

>>44265472
I'd participate but I was too lazy to find out how to send things to people. Yep.

>>44267822
Prime in white or grey and layer yellow washes, with some blending / drybrushing at the end.

>>44267943
Are you 12? Wtf man.

>>44268542
No, I'm lazy. I never had to sent anything but big boxes and postcards, and every time I get back from work I don't want to look up how to sent some sprues efficiently.

Ok so I decided to paint the boots black and I tried dry brushing the fur with some white. It looks "OK"
The sword and shield are based in black. I'd probably do a a brown coat on the wood then a standard wash. Then dry brush the metal parts with the metallic silver. Plus the sword.

I'm going to try to paint the gloves a reddish color. Then the cape a deep red maybe.

A red cloak will add the necessary contrast color to the mini.

>>44268776
I was reffering more to the kind of post, nor te packaging.

>>44265016
>>44264858
Hey, i'm glad you liked the stuff. Nice to see it arrived in such a short time.
Also thanks for the correction.

>>44268826
Lol the base is a mix of paints and wash out black. I did paint it sort of but with a very light black that had a bit to much water. i'll probably go over it once the other parts are done.

It does look pretty interesting though. Thanks :)
I'm doing my best. Sadly I came down with a cold recently so my progress has been stunted.

>>44268844
That packaging was the post you retard. You write the adress like you would a letter and then bring it to the post office so one of the grown ups can help you send it.

>>44269025
That's never the most efficient one, when I sent big boxes that was more expensive, by far.

>>44268844
USPS if you're sending from the US. Their website has tools to figure out prices, and you can even buy and print the shipping labels there.

>>44267822
When i've based in black then I do two coats of Averland and about three coats of yriel with some drybrushing over the top at the end to blend it together. Do thin layers and build up the colour slowly.

For the knight I used a light grey spray primer so I skipped the averland step. It's not perfect but I'm gonna weather him up lots so it doesnt need to be.

Started on the red bits now...

>>44269264
I am curious, what is wrong with darker colour schemes?

>>44268943

Out of those that middle one, the flamer (?) imo looks best to me.

Im planning on basing my models using the tutorial GW put out (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdLETvgf1DM), after I finish the base do I just glue the model in or is there something else I should do?

>>44274146
The top one, the flamer implies he's at the front line getting shot trying to use a flamer, which is not what a commander should be doing.

>>44274202

I thought Duncan put too little stuff on the base. I get his thing about the base not overshadowing your mini but imo urban bases look better with more rubble and other shit on the base.

>>44273713
Nice kans.

The little bastards can be really effective with their grotzookas, but you have to actually get them up the field first. My deff dreads and kans almost never make it to combat, and I actually have a close combat dread that my friends and I call "the ork statue" due to the fact that he's been immobilized every single game I've fielded him in.

>>44274205

I am sure there must be some sort of difference, but it is the second one (ColorMaster) that I have purchased and used on my Thousand Sons. I would guess that the first one would bond "better" than the second (re: probably just as well for painting purposes, but probably hard to remove with Simple Green, etc).
Personally, I would probably have grabbed whatever was the cheapest at the local hardware store/walmart. I find proper Spray Paint procedures are what give you the best results. That is, shaking the can VERY well for at the very least 60 seconds, spray in low humidity, low wind conditions, and ideal temp (5-20 degrees C), and shaking often between your short sweeping bursts of spray paint about 12-15" away from the model(s).

So i'm starting to get into airbrushing and was wondering what I should get for a compressor. I want one of the quiet ones but dont know where to start looking. Any ideas?

>>44274349
I have been long wondering what I wanted to do about their lower halves as these guys are a composition of various bits I ordered from Bitz Barn a couple years ago. The legs are from loyal terminators so I had to remove loyal icons, but the legs just looks so bland.
I have decided to give them a "robe of a Thousand Scrolls." That is, I will Green Stuff many, many hanging scrolls in the style of my Sorcerer Lord that used the dark apostle as the base model. Just, a thick layering of hanging scrolls that emulate a robe around the waist of my Sorcerers of Obliteration.
I then have a bunch of bits from my Chariots of Tzeentch I will add.

>>44274146
Nice old boltpistol, but the laspistol would probably be best.

How would I put tears on a miniature?

>>44275604

>>44274168

What head did you use on your general?

>>44276419
I think it is a tempestus scion head, I had to trim down the rounded region at the neck so it would fit in a guardsmen chest.

>>44276455

Thanks for the heads up. The biggest thing holding me back from finishing my guard army is that I would really like to have a general who is distinctive.

>>44276521
I actually wanted the same thing, this guy was the closest I could find to General Castor from Dawn of War II. You might consider looking at Empire/Bretonia models, I bet there are lots of old-guy-with-a-mustache heads in those sets.

>>44275905
Anybody? Really desperate to learn Forge World's secret HH techniques. The only book I can find is their IA stuff, but I don't know if that includes the same HH painting style.

There are bound to be stores that specialise in airbrushing in your area. Probably not for miniatures (they're usually into auto-detailing and helmets and such things), but they'll happily provide advice on airbrushing and what compressors are good for your purpose.
Who knows, they may even offer courses.

One other thing to remember, quiet compressors, especially Oil Compressors (which are almost whisper quiet), are a fair bit more expensive than normal ones.

I own an oil compressor (a Eurotech A20 to be precise), and you could get about 3 normal compressors for the price of this thing.
But it's so nice and quiet, that it's worth it in my opinion. The sound is comparable to a refrigerator motor.

Ulix's box isn't too awful from an assembly perspective, especially compared to the hell that is plastic Bayou gremlins:

-Ulix is 7 pieces, and the only thing to watch out for is making sure the bowstring lines up.
-Wild boars are about 3-4 pieces each, and the pieces are cut so that the joins are hidden by the fur texture for the most part.
-Penelope is 3 pieces.
-Old Major is probably the worst: he's only 6 relatively large pieces, but his head's split in two so filling/smoothing out the join going down his neck is hell.

I don't wanna be an asshole, but all the metallic parts look like shit. Especially in the side view. Half the understructure isn't even painted, and it doesn't look like you used any wash at all.

>>44278872
I'd change the exposed head to a regular helmeted head.

The exposed heads are quite frankly too large, and make the marines have giant bobbleheads.

>>44279079

I would assume he's going to wash them after coloring everything in for some strange raisin

>>44279272
In truescale this works somewhat better but it still looks strange.

>>44279276
Not that anon, but i do that. I color everything first before washing vs basing some parts and washing it, then basing a different part and washing that , etc.

>>44279325
That's normal for smaller minis. But in that case it's simply bad unless you don't plan on drybrushing the metal skeleton afterwards.

I mean I don't know, but looking at the sideview of that Knight in >>44277748 I can't begin to understand where he is at in the painting process. There are parts with decals already on them, parts with what looks like micro pen shading, just basecoated parts like the plate under the head and then, half basecoated parts where the red shines through the metallic paint completely unpainted bits.

And it's not like it's a big secret on how to paint Knights. The goddamn Emperor of paint, the Duncan himself has made an hour long tutorial.

>>44271802

I don't know what pdf you're talking about, but if you've got regular-ass RTV silicone caulk and are trying to use it to make a mould, just use a drop or two of regular acrylic paint.

I just dry brushed the silver over black, the gold though I'm not sure how to wash and highlight it best as it's the Vallejo liquid gold paint.

>>44280295
I imagine a light wash with Seraphim Sepia (for a more orange shade) or Reikland Fleshshade (for a warmer redish shade) will work quite well, and then add some of that Vallejo alcohol-based gold back over it. It should cover quite well.

Making my first gaming table, primarily for Infinity, but also for Malifaux.

I'm going to get a lot more scatter terrain and lots more rocks. I think I need vegetation too. Any recommendations for trees/bushes?

>>44280363
Great to spend time on terrain anon, how it gets so neglected is beyond me. When you look at a game going on you primarily see the table after all. Are low visibility zones still a thing in 3e? I still only really know second edition. If so presumably hedgerows and clumps needn't be able to be seen over and still have a cool effect in game.

>>44280388
>how it gets so neglected is beyond me.
This, but i can am no expectation though. somehow its more exciting to paint a mini or a vehicle than a ruin or something.

>>44280363
Given the industrial/futuristic theme i don't think vegetation fits in there well. Maybe some kind of crystal formation instead of trees?

If I want to turn a citadel wash into a nice, uniform glaze for shading, would I just need to add a good deal of lahmian medium to it?

I'd have a serious look at aquarium/terrarium decorations or plants.
If you have a look at some of the tree decorations you can buy for those you'll find that the look would be pretty easy to replicate with the plastic deco plants you can buy pretty cheaply when you glue them to a branch or something to make the trunk.
You can also get some pretty funky colors and plants for coral reefs and stuff like that if you want something more alien for Infinity.
I don't know much about Malifaux, but I think Bonsai (pretty popular in that area)would fit well to Infinity due to the anime influence, but stuff like that wouldn't be about of place there either since they have some eastern factions as well iirc.

He has a point though. Bolt Pistols look huge (and retarded if you ask me) on regular Cadians/Catachans. Elysians are way smaller than those. I doubt it will look good with any regular bolt pistol.
Maybe you can scratch build a bolt pistol in the right size somehow. Its not that its design is very complicated.

>>44281231
That's the problem I am having. I'd like to avoid having to build one if possible but I did consider it. It's just that the captain will be a centrepiece to the army until I build my colonel.

No, plastic. These (>>44281516) models were "Space Marine Veterans" before GW decided to designate them as Sternguard (shooty) or Vanguard (choppy). Citadel briefly sold a set of these models in Finecast, but they, too, got replaced by a plastic box of Sternguard Veterans (pic related).

Can't argue with that. These ladz came in a box of five rather than the regular blisters, though.

Hey, I've read through your conversation and this seems like a great idea. Let's say I'd try and build a bike/wartrack from the Kettenkrad (forgive me if I spelled it wrong). Which scale should I choose? 1/35 or 1/48? Also, which size should I pick if I were to use a german halftrack (sdkfz 251/2/3) for an ork truck?

>>44281706
1/35.

While 1/48 is closer to the average 28mm scale, it looks to small compared to the rather bulky heroic scaled warhammer minis. Especially orks.

i disagree.

I'm building both, the 250 and 251 halftrack at the moment. The scale is 1/48.
I made you a pic so you can compare the size with a cadian soldier. The guy next to him is an 1/48 german crew member. Those halftracks weren't that big in RL.
1/35 would be huge compared a warhammer miniature. It could work as some kind of out-of-scale orky vehicle though.

He has a little button on the front of his cape.
It's not much but I wanted it to stand out.

This is the first mini I've done a proper layering process with. This mini seemed fairly difficult there's a lot of close corners.

I have some minis from mantic. Ork, skeletons ghouls and zombies.

I'm intimidated by their construction and I think I need superglue.

I'll do that with the base. Should I use white on the sword for an edge? I've never painted a sword and wanted to keep it simple. Should I just do grey?

Thanks for the advice.

After using the Plate Mail primer from Army painter on my Necrons should I wash the recess now and then do their armour and detail or wash after everything is completed?

Any good guids too power weapons? Like the swords and scythes they use I want to be of blue or green energy.

Should I do a slight OSL effect on the gauss weapons with their translucent green tubs?

Some of these models have very slight recesses and I think they would look much cooler filled in with green then the usual black or brown wash i use.

Is there a good way to do that or do I need to find a brush composed of a single strand of nose hair.

>>44282485
halftracks look cooler in my opinion.

>>44282494
Do you have a brighter silver metal color? If not you could wait with it until you get one.

Just keep going. You'll see, next mini will be faster.

>>44282529
I have Tamiya stuff, But I'm planning on stopping my use of that.

So for army painter all I have is their metallic plate mail color.
The metallic color is merely dry brushed on there.

>>44282503
As a person with two WW2 armies packed with all manner of half-tracks, sure. But they're bit of an obsolete technology post-WW2.

>>44282411
>I was trying to get a dark red

You got pink. Be a bit more restricitve about where you slap on oyur highlights. And follow the flow of the fabric better, in many cases here the few dark btis left don't follow the valleys, they're just thrown out as a few splotches here and there in the alleys.

>>44282563
So the first coat I did was a wine colored purple.
I had mixed black red and white.
It came out pretty good.

I then tried to shade the cape. This didn't work to well.

After that I tried painting it red. But I ended up thinning the paint to much with merely two drops of water.

So it came out fairly splotchy.

It looked alright so I decided to try to drybrush on some pink.


I considered going over it with solid read again, but i was worried it would cake on to much paint.

I don't really have a proper dry brushing brush. I need to get one. The brushes I do use thin and not flat. So my results aren't that great.

It's all coming from my own inexperience.

My next step though it to build the mantic minis

>>44279696
Woah, those are crazy! Really good job there mate!

>>44282546
you could try to use it on the edges, it might work.

40k tank techology is right at the middle of ww2 though. At least their design philosophy and tactical doctrines are. Halftracks would fit in perfectly fine.

>>44282619

>>44282840

>>44282892

A rigid drybrush will also splatter paint all over your room. Sable drybrushes are much better because they are soft and follow the shapes of the model better while not catapulting pigment onto your ceiling.

>>44282675
>40k tank techology

Design, not technology. Even a lowly Russ has auto-loaders, engines that run on any combustible liquid, laser targeting systems, high-energy generators, warning systems, etc.

Reason for half-tracks was that early tanks weren't so good at turning in motion (it was more of a stop, turn, go system), so the front wheels do the turning while the tracks provide the traction. Past that we've managed to make tanks with far more advanced systems to turn them, thus negating the need for half-tracks.

>>44282918
How much paint you use when drybrushing?

>>44282619
>It looked alright so I decided to try to drybrush on some pink.

Drybrushign works very poorly on smooth curves and surfaces, like flowing cloth.

It works better on highly textured surfaces (fur, mail, etc).

>>44282932
>Reason for half-tracks was that early tanks weren't so good at turning in motion

Reason for them actually was to allow the infantry to keep up with the tanks in difficult terrain where regular trucks couldn't drive.

>>44282963

Enough to get the effect, using a sable brush

>>44282918
What?

Maybe it'd be best if you explained what you mean by 'drybrushing'. Because if we are talking about 'applying paint' or as the kids call it 'painting' instead of using minimal pigment on the bristles of a stiff brush to easily highlight edges, raised parts, ridges and such, then yes, you want brushes that follow the shape of the model.

>>44283061

Drybrushing, the exact same technique we've been using for 30 years now. There's a guide somewhere in the OP I think.

>>44282918
If your paint is splattering all over the place then you have a) to much of it on your brush and b) its not fucking dry!

>>44283015
I'm talking about the technology. Half-tracks existed way before the SdKfz 250 and M3 transports and the need for motorized infantry transports. And the reason for the design was that it enabled simple and nimble design that offered the mobility of a wheeled vehicle with the off-road capabilities of a tracked vehicle. Once tracked vehicles were able to operate more nimbly, they replaced the half-tracks.

>>44283098

Well then enjoy your shitty ass brushes and your pigment flying everywhere I guess.

>>44283141
I never encountered that problem and i have no problem with my drybrushing brush being anything but a shitty ass brush for $1.

Congratulations on drybrushing wrong, have a nice day, m'lady.

>>44278592
Try to imagine a miniature and their gear as real functional stuff. Look for areas that might get reasonable wear and tear, mainly edges and exposed areas and start weathering lightly and progressively til you are satisfied with it, depending on how "gritty" you want them to be.

You could start with just some light flaking of the armor on exposed areas and work it up to large areas of base metal showing after some serious combat. Also, add bullet scars, oil smears in the joints, char, and blood or smoke on plates work for a grittier combat look.

>>44282619
You can try going for a deep red ink wash instead of painting over the pink. It'll be thin enough to not clog up the detail and correct the colour somewhat so you can add highlights again

Keep in mind too little highlighting can be worked up, but too much highlighting looks fake as fuck and is a bitch to cover up.

>>44282497

To add to this I am using Warplock Bronze (a dark brown metallic) for their armor and weaponry. Drybrushing the armor and vehicles with Hasnut Copper.

I am leaning towards the Agrax Earthshade brown wash to dull the bright steel and give them a worn/rusted look almost.

>>44283755
Agrax should work fine, it will give them a slightly brown tint (over the platemail), but if you want them to look dusty and worn that can certainly do the job.

>>44281175
>>44281221
It's what happens when you spend a lot of time outside.

>>44283648
Whats a good way to highlight red. All I have are the basic colors, so if I do mix red and white I usually get pink. Unless adding more red helps?

I will defiantly do that though. I only have paint and no actual red wash. So I'll think my paint down a ton.

>>44283929
Don't go add white straight away for highlights on red, pink is the inevitable outcome. A bit of orange then yellow on the very edges does the trick better.

So while yes, Marines are not pretty, by default and their years of service don't make them prettier either, it stands to reason that being 'pretty' is more important to them than other Chapters, considering all the recruits start out as radiated Mutants on Baal and undergo a symbolic transformation in a coffin into the angelic space marines during their Initiation.

Yeah - in their case, their beauty would be as much a part of what made them a marine as their strength and new organs. The Blood Angels have always been kind of artistic anyway.

You might be able to argue something similar with the Ultramarines. They like to be great speechmakers and leaders as much as warriors, and thousands of scars aren't necessarily a great trade-off for them.

Got bored with counting 40K miniatures. Here's my today's work - miniature number 14 - W:FB with second human face evar.
Just needs a clean up in some places.

>>44284650
It'll be a modified Cataphractii. The cardboard is just for patterns. Once I get everything fitted right I'll remake it in foam so I can round it off a little more

>>44284723
>Once I get everything fitted right I'll remake it in foam so I can round it off a little more
Wouldn't you have to kind of make different patterns for round forms? Cause a cylinder has a different surface area than a few planes etc?

>>44284575
looking at this, my first thought was sometime down the line, that last step in out titan-ing the other guy is just making a suit and playing as the titan and stomping other people's minis.

>>44284767
I won't be doing a lot of rounding, just shaving sharp edges down. All depends on what it looks like in the end really. I was planning on doing pre heresy Thousand Sons so I'll be blinging the fuck out of it anyway. Its entirely possible that all the detailing I plan on putting on it will hide the fact that the chest doesn't look exactly like a normal Cataphractii

>>44284939
Oh, I see.
So what kind of detail are you gonna put on? Pre Heresy thousand sons kind of doesn't leave you with much aside from the sun and scarabs or stuff like that. Or maybe it doesn't I just can't picture what I'd put on.

I'm trying to get a metallic blue-green going on, think like the cool Alpha Legion paintjob but I don't really know how to accomplish it without an airbrush. My other, and more serious issue, is that I'm red-green colourblind as fuck so I don't trust myself to determine what colour I'm really looking at. How does it look? Don't worry about the rest, this dude is getting a dip in the drink and repainted to Khornate colours eventually.

It's fairly muted at the moment. So perhaps you'd want the colour to be a little bit stronger.

You can certainly see the turquoise, but the intensity could be a little higher.

How do you pre-shade silver? I normally prime grey or white, then preshade the panels with a darker color than the base.

Well, with silver, I normally prime black. Now I'm not sure how to pre-shade. The silver over all will have a blue tint to it, so I was wondering about priming black, shading areas with a dark blue that need it, and then going over with a regular silver coat. I'd follow that with the blue-tinted silver color that would be the main color. Thoughts about this?

>>44287443

you forgot to paint the hands m8

black gloves

>>44287474
Its an old laspistol. I inherited them years ago.
>>44287557
I went for a leather gloves look. I'm terrified of painting flesh so the less the better. Also, the proportions on GW stuff are terrible, so gloves seemed to fit with the thickness of their hands.

Hey /wip/, would anyone have a recommendation on how to get rid of the smell of models stripped in dettol? I left them in for two days, paint came off grand but they still stink a bit.

No, it's an old ass autopistol. I'm guessing from old plastic Necromunda kits. I got one as well. And a laspistol, which is a bit like the one Catachans have, just beefier.

>>44288861
All the years thinking it was a laspistol... well at least autopistols are cool and retro too. I'll have to find some old school laspistols, I have no idea what they look like.

Maybe add some armour bits and shit. Make it looks like it was once mortal. Maybe get some of those spawn eye bits and scatter them all over the thing.

Otherwise, 9/10, would make contact with.

>>44291061

With the new pots, lot of people don't shut them fully, you need to hear it snap. Some people just push the front end closed but don't press down at the back of a pot and that leaves a air hole and the paints dry really quickly.

>>44290005
>>44289854
That is correct.

>>44292358
That is also correct. I have paints kicking from every generation of citadel paints up to the most recent except for those black twist caps (4th gen iirc). All of those have dried up and I use those as a grip base for batch painting models now. So, at least they got that going for them....

On that note, maybe have it bursting out of a cracked-open set of armour, lying on the ground? Like the Astartes inside *just* ascended and boiled out into a weird amorphous brain-cloud of death.

And paint that thing like it's not quite real.

>>44293746

On its knees, arms outstretched, and that *thing* pouring out from where its head would normally be.

It would be hell to pin (you'd probably need 2 pins through the legs and into the torso, then a pin from the tail-thing to the torso as well), but it would be pretty neat.

Neat, but I cannot fathom a way for the body to support the Brain+Tentacles without additional support

>>44294556
Cut off the tip of the bottom tentacle and insert it into the neck cavity. It would simultaneously make it not float so high, and not have such a ridiculous lever arm while also making it look like it is in the process of popping out of the armor suit.

Working on a Khorne deamon prince. I have no idea what color i should use for the wings. Suggestions?

>>44294804
Curious, did you glue the leg and shoulder armor before or after painting the skin?

>>44294804
Just like the rest of his flesh

>>44294804
That is a fucking nice looking demon prince.

I think keep the skin colour for the structure of the wing and either a light grey or that bone colour for the wing webbing or whatever it's called

>>44294556
>>44294618
Alternatively, have the connection with the body occur not at the long tentacle but instead one of the tentacles behind it. Long tentacle still hits the ground providing support, and second tentacle inside the marine's neck cavity also provides support.

>>44294867
Maybe get something to make into a spinal cord that comes out of the armour and warps into the tentacle, so it puts more emphasis on it being his head that's floating in the air. Something like a Lychguard spinal bit should work.

>>44294556

You could trim the tentacle so it's more inside the armour, then insert a pin from armour to helmet. Just cut a sewing needle.

And then 2 pins from the chest armour, through the knees, into the base.

>>44291217
>>44294556
I vote against having him bursting from a suit of armour. It's an ok idea for freshly ascended Daemon princes in a CSM army, but if it's your HQ every game the idea will get stale.

I'd go with >>44291326 and say to festoon him with chopped up armour bits. You can GS them to hang from the stretched bits. I'd also find a tzeentch/chaos standard to fasten to the front side of the DP.

I'd also decorate the fuck out of the base. Melted sprue and glowing blue stone to show that it's warping the fuck out of anything it even glides over.

In fact, I need the exact bitz you used to make this bugger because I want one now.

Question, what should i edge highlight a Dark Angel with, Moot Green or Warboss Green?
