I'm trying to make some bases for some deathwatch terminators and I want it to look like deck plating. I'm using this stuff for the plating itself and I'm going to put some brass rod as piping and some grating to break up the space left over.
Does anyone have any other suggestions on what to use for deck plating bases?

Just started drybrushing an old fortress kit, complete in box, found it at a small auction and got it for £6, so quite a nice find

>>46855265
Neat!

I wish I could find cheap terrain. I was thinking about scratch building some but where I play has so much and there are already people who bring their own scenery for their army.

what color should i use for the higlights of a steel legio drab base?

>>46854217
Does anybody know what that tool the guy in the moldline video uses is called? What's your favorite moldline removal method?

Only took a year, but I managed to paint almost all of the basic Nephilim units. Still have to deal with Nekima, Tuco, one Young Neph and some assorted neverborn support. Not amazing, but decent tabletop- I'll take it when painting for 30 minutes leaves me in physical pain.

Finally finished my verminlord! I'll never get to use this guy since everyone I play with hates everything to do with the End Times. I've pointed out this isn't a new unit, it's just a rules update of the existing (shit) verminlord, but nope, still won't let me use them.

Just waiting for his scenic base to arrive, then he'll be complete. He's got faults but I love how he turned out, it was a fun experiment.

I'm sorry but... this looks very little like a warp spider. The gun doesn't even come close to the profile of a deathspinner, looking more like an eldar version of a tank autocannon.

You have a deldar with a poorly-converted oversized gun and a turd of greenstuff on the shoulder.

Mining style armour (left), or shades of black ( right)? Also I'm not certain as bright blue as a spot colour. What would look good in contrast to greys, blacks, flesh, and purple?

>>46856468
the green stuff is supposed to be the spiders breathing toob.
As for the gun, Have you seen the profile of the deathspinner? It's looks like a heavy weapon stock with a thick tube at the end.
Also, I hate the warp spider model, so not looking exactly like one is not a downside to me.

Does it look like a thing with a hightech jumppack, a gasmask and a big weird gun?

I need to catch up ...

>>46856974
I think personally the guns too long and just looks comical, it also looks sort of wonkey

>>46855690
Needs more backpack, less gun length. Right now it's got a very strong resemblance to a vindicare assassin.

>>46857194
>>46857165
the gun is longer than I'd like. I'm going to take out the middle part on the next one, though keeping the grip on that might be a little delicate.

And the backpack does need more, but I'm going back and forth on what to add to it. I've got scourge bat wings, and lots of tubes rods and spikes.

And greenstuff, but I know I'm prety limited in my ability to work there, so I'd like it to be mainly bits with greenstuf at most filling in between.

>>46857347
The gun and crab backpacks are some of the two most prolific parts of the warpspider's look.

If you're not into the backpack, at least try to get the gun barrel right so that it doesn't look like one of several of the eldar's oval-headed heavy weapons. Just sculpt some lantern frames and beads on a round barrel and add barbs to the end.

Also using water to frequently wet your tools will make sculpting greenstuff way easier for you. For basic tubes, less can be more since it's easier to add a bit than it is to remove greenstuff without removing the entire part.

>>46857583
it's not the backpack I dislike. it's overall blockyness of the torso and the helmet looking way to big with the blade fangs things. I'm want to make something reminicent of the backpack, but I've yet to find a thing that works.

Good Idea about the lantern frame and barbs, that I whould be able to do.
And I actually went back and smoothed out the greenstuff after I took the pic, as the zoom made my mistake much more visable.

Anyone got any Iron Hands they've painted? Trying to find some inspiration.

Just bought and assembled this kinda painting table, tired of my paints and brushes laying around.

What setups do you have?

>>46858415
I had one of those but I got tired of it due to the limited working space.

>>46858415
Pretty sure I have a slightly bigger version of that, can't fit nearly all my paints in but it's useful for holding my 'working' paints.

Always worth getting right when you model your mini first time. Pinning helps as you can bend the pin to make it straight.
check it with an edge dry fitted before and after you glue.

Looking to pick up my first airbrush for priming, first colours and varnishing. I've seen the Vallejo set that comes with a Harder & Steenbeck Ultra airbrush and 10 camo VMA paints for £70 (Not sure how much I'll use the paints as I do 40K, Infinity and Guildball largely).

Thats said, if I can pair this up with a generic no name compressor that has a tank off ebay, would that be a good setup to get started with??

>>46860540
yes.

I do remark that her speech pattern is much more streamlined than before, which was the main reason people didn't like her, even though it didn't bother me.

I actually do mostly like the new orcs. Some of the armor looks a couple bits away from being ork mega armor, but these guys look mostly fantasy, and having faces more than scowling/shouting with tiny slits for beady eyes really improves the expressiveness.

While he does have a bit too many Citadel paints and no other brands other than a couple AP inks/MIG/etc, I'm far more concerned he actually has 3 pots of Humbrol on there.

Those 3 pots of Humbrol are a larger waste than even that entire Citadel collection.

Depends on what color the Bolter is going to be.
If Metallic, I'd give red eyes. If red Bolter, maybe green. I'd avoid yellow here, and likely other blues.

Hey, how long do you let your acrylic paint dry before top coating? I'm using testors dullcote.

>Finish the statue from Honored Imperium
>Finish basing Chaos Spawn

Promise to get pics too. Tbh shouldn't be too hard considering all this shit is like 80% done already and just need gluing together and finishing touches.

I'd check out the original tutorial by Mister Justin from SWM this is based on desu.

I do think the models are tabletop standard in that they have more than three colors and are reasonably well painted.
If you have been out of the game for the last decade check out the GW or Armypainter washes. They are not washes in the oldschool way, but diluted with acrylic medium so behave a little different than water with something in it to break surface tension.

Basically GW's old Devlan Mud or Armypainters Dark Tone are liquid talent and are gonna save you loads of time, especially for painting assembly line style.

>>46876990

I know the feeling. I love the story and atmosphere of 40k, I can only play with proper terrain and painted minis

I'm planning on stretching my terrain paneling even further (again, will post pics but this may be a next week project).

By using display board foam and cutting holes out and inserting panels into the missing sections I can functionally 1.5x the amount of terrain per terrain kit. I have sprues from Citadel and Pegasus lying around and I'm going to liberally combine the two.

The plan is for the display board foam parts is to mix cheap black paint with baking soda and then dry brushing up to grey to make it look like cement.

The drawings I did look like it'll turn out alright.

Got the idea from a Hirst Arts thing.

>>46877146
Not sure since I haven't bought any of the new (not really anymore) paints yet. I think Agrax is a little more yellowish, whereas Devalan mud is a little redder and darker.
Kind of like the difference between burned umber and burned sienna.

>>46877178
Not sure what to think of the baking soda thing, but that's a neat idea. The CoD buildings by themselves tend to look a little too cluttered imo.
Keep us posted.

>>46877165
Those chapter upgrade sprues are a god send.

I hate doing water transfers.

Also great job! Love the classic door wings!
Question /wip/: as you've grown in the hobby have you also found yourself edging away from homebrew factions like craftworlds and chapters or at least drawing them as close as canonly possible?

>>46877240
Here's the basing to that Chaos Spawn I was talking about earlier. I still need to add grass and snow.

This was based with baking soda. With the buildings it won't be as course. I'm planning to spread it a bit thinner and mix with the paint itself. This was based with a plain soda and glue mix then painted.

Apologies for the file size.

>>46877251
I started with Dark Angels in 2nd ed and pretty much stayed with them. My Skaven are, well, they're rats. Not much individuality or special snowflake schemes for them.

I never got the appeal of homebrew chapters because in my experience are either cringey as fuck or made by people with appalling taste and no sense for colour coordination.

And I agree. I got a bunch of the shoulderpads and the Ravenwing sprues and they're awesome.

>>46877251
>have you also found yourself edging away from homebrew factions
My personal theory is that as you get older you have less time to fantasize and flesh out your DIY faction. Same goes for playing games as those tend to influence the narrative of your army's background as well.

Basically the less time you have the more appealing official factions are, because they stay alive even if you don't play. There is always new material and stuff they did, even if you didn't have time to play or write it yourself.

So in a word yes, I'm kinda the same. But I also get off on converting and sculpting so I constantly have new ideas for special snowflakes that I want to realize with plastic and putty.

>>46877369
I agree.

The only thing I have homebrewed is a Chaos Warband and I guess a small subset of Blackmane's Great Company (but that's just fleshing out a space intentionally left blank).

With the warband I just say they are very small and are in the process of taking over a planet VERY slowly because the number of marines are less than 50. I just wanted a deep purple and gold color scheme and nothing seemed to really allow for that that was canon.

Thank you very much anon.

I did use the washes, Nuln Oil on weapon blades, gloves and sash and Agrax on everything brownish + faces.

Essentially I used a darker tone for shadows, then a medium for everything, then highlights on everything but the armor, but I'm thinking that perhaps the tonal differences are too subtle when I'm just giving three coats.

>>46877146
>>46877209
I remember Devlan (might even have a pot somewhere...) and I'd say that Agrax is indeed yellower, no red tint whatsoever.

>>46876879

Needs washes for starters. Drucchi violet on the cloaks, brown on the gold and the blue one on the kilt

Good or useful?
Need more info on what you want it for/working on.
Do you own any already anon? From experience, I did myself good with a pair of knockoffs from Harbor Freight and amazon, one gravity fed, one siphon fed, to get a few different jobs done. I clean like a motherfucker, so getting them clogged and unusable while i practice and use them isn't likely, but if they go tits up i didn't spend a fortune on them and can go get another whenever. I've seen good Iwata and Badger for +150$ so "quality" goes a long way, if i were to assume.

>>46879498

Painting the base in brown before applying that crackle paint might improve its look

>>46879498
With the basing, see if you can do a coat of a darker brown before you put on the Agrellan Earth. The black/brown contrast is a bit much right now, and a quick coat of steel legion drab will help sort it and is dead easy

>>46879466

>>46879595
That'll probably work. What colours do you have currently? You might have something else that will work - any dark brown really.

>>46879595
>but can i just scrape away agrellan earth when i decide to go through with this?

You probably can.

Check out fantasywelt.de if you can't access a hobby store nearby easily. They ship for free if you reach 49€ (which is easy enough if we talk about gw stuff) and their prices are generally pretty good.

>>46879550
i had the idea of fiery orks for a while in my head

basicly they would come from a world that is constant volcanos errupting and that is painting them red

>>46879595
Yeah, the crackle paints can be scaped off easily enough. Just use a small dull object, like a sculpting tool or sonething

>>46876640
It has something to ensure it won't sag this time

>>46879498
Honestly, that's a lot nicer than a lot of people's first efforts

I'd work on getting a more consistent blue over the washed areas. Obviously you want to keep the recesses darker, but carefully painting on a few layers of watered down blue will improve their appearance immensely.

For the gold, try going for a rhinox hide base and then drybrushing the gold over the top of that. Alternatively, give them a wash with seraphim sepia to add a bit of depth to them.

The other anons are right about the base too.

Overall, it's a very solid effort for a complete novice and you'll probably find that you'll improve significantly as you go along

I'd tone down the highlighting around the mouth/grill area. You seem to have missed to highlight some edges around the feet and knees. A good tip for doing edge highlights is to paint them with the "side" of your brush, that way you only hit the very edge.

I usually brace my hand/arm holding the miniature against the table, and the little and ringfingers of my painting hand brace against the hand holding the miniature.

>>46860982

I really like the idea of putting together some themed war bands. Gives me the chance to paint some stuff I wouldn't normally paint too.

>>46881637
I was actually planning on doing that myself. I chose the official models as they came with more options, covering a wider range of troops.

I haven't played the game yet. From what I have read, as the other guy mentioned, only your leader and his apprentice can level up, but with "The Captain" rules, you can have a customizable mercenary captain who levels and up and leanrs "Combat Tricks" as well. All in all very simple and fun. You can use the same warband in Mordheim if you would like.

>>46879498
i see you followed my previous advice about the face highlighting & eyes

try this for the eyes (see pic). It is super simple. Basically white dot in the far away corner. Then from the nose paint 2/3 red and then 1/3 from the nose orange. Do it and be amazed, dont worry about fucking it up the first 10 times.

Also clean up your highlights.. just use the dark blue to paint over the highlight fuckups.

The white ultramar on the shoulder is waaay to thick. Do a drop of white, and with a brush add a super tiny amount of black and make grey.. paint two thin layers (aka dip your brush tip in water) on the symbol. Now here is the kicker: Only paint the center of the lines actually white! So its grey-white-grey.. from a distance it will look much much whiter and neater!

Lets see what else.. if you have red.. paint some grenades red for the colorfulness.

but you can rarely recognize those posting critique (except based Johnny anon, because he seems to always post something Johnny-related along with the critique).

No, they are dogshit (although I haven't tried the very newest GW ones that come in the new start set).

Blades aren't hardened, if you cut a paperclip for pinning with them you will dent the blade. Pay less for higher quality tools at a hardware store.

is there an in-universe explanation for the crazy positioning of the gun on these?

>>46882472
>>46881389
$4 for a set of clippers at Harbor Freight if you're in the US.

Otherwise, clippers aren't meant to cut steel, if you're cutting paperclips for pinning or some such, you should get a wire snip.

>>46882522
Steady hands and a good brush.

>>46882553
Yeah, the gun is only the top bit, it's mounted on an armature that is made to peek over rubble or other units. In game, those tanks can see over 1" of terrain.

>>46882553
They need to be as light and small as possible for orbital insertion (so the crew compartment is one guy laying prone), but because their profile is so low the gun needs to be able to ascend. To be fair, the ammunition is very small since it'd a railgun.

>>46882976
Dunno, the cracks look the inclusions look more like cracks, but I guess you are on the right way

>>46882976
Looks more cracked than marble. You need a lot of subtle lines and pattenrs to make a convincing marble texture.

I think it will look good, but not like Marble.

Alright, lads, here's the rub. I want to convert some marines and guardsmen into a Rogue Trader's force.

I have plenty of marine (from various chapters) and IG models already painted and ready. My plan is to make an alternative to the Rogue Trader tabard - instead, something like a drape over the shoulder with the chapter heraldry. My biggest concern is that I want whatever I do to be easily reversible and replaceable (so I can run those marines/guardsmen in their regular armies if I want).

My original plan was a to attach a paper to some string and loop the string around the heads so the paper was draped over the shoulders. It worked... alright for a few models, but the more interesting the poses, the harder they were to work with. I also thought about using a mild adhesive that would come off without taking painting with it, but I couldn't find any that I trusted, and it also didn't look as good as I had been hoping in the first place.

Anyone have any ideas? Or alternatives for doing an RT tabard?

>>46883795
And to add, I do want to keep the chapter heraldry not just for using them in their regular force, but also because I like the notion of them keeping their colors and looks and just using a defining marker to show that they are currently requisitioned to a Rogue Trader. So the heraldry doesn't have to be totally covered - just enough that it's clear that they work for the RT. My current plan involves using separate chapters for different units, so the badge/drape/tabard will be their unifying marker.

That's also why I want to use my current models instead of painting up new ones with a custom icon on their shoulders. I would just end up painting them as a distinct chapter, then covering the shoulder up.
