The basing saga continues!

The "Milestone" (grey) has been dry brushed on over the "Tawny Port" (crimson with a hint of brown).

Now on to tundra grass tufts and then snow!

Ok, so.
I want to ask you niggas, how do you paint/prime/assemble/etc your miniatures?
I got into this hobby last month with 10 marines and I assembled them fully, put them on their bases, then primed and now while painting I got a really big problem, some dudes have their arms in front of their chest so I can't paint their chests properly.
I've seen people just cut the bits off the sprues and then glue the bits on little sticks, put those sticks into styrofoam and then prime AND paint them on those sticks and they leave the assembly at the end. But I thought that gluing already primed and/or painted bits isn't a great idea since the glue might actually just break the paint from one part and just fall off.

Does anyone know of a good Human model to combine with Fire Warrior bits to make a Cadre Fireblade? Cant decide if i want him tech'd up, or more military officer dressed for morale. He's going with my human division of FW's made of Cadians if that helps

>>47259650
just don't paint where you need to glue, either mask it or sand it off after the primer dries

OK, so, voyage of discovery here, anon, you figured out the hard way that you should *not* assemble *everything* fully before painting.

It's a combination of personal preference and what the models are actually going to be doing/what they look like. I like to put the legs and sometimes the torso together on the base, and add some basing material (the kind you'll need to paint over, usually) before I prime. In the odd case where a Space Marine's arm *isn't* going to interfere with the painting of his plastron - you can see one or two in [pic related] - I'll even glue those on.

The rest of the stuff is painted and primed separately.

>I've seen people just cut the bits off the sprues and then glue the bits on little sticks, put those sticks into styrofoam and then prime AND paint them on those sticks and they leave the assembly at the end.

That's how I do heads. That Space Marines have a convenient "neck hole" in the gorget makes this a snap. It also allows you to choose a different head at the last minute or - if yer looney - magnetize them and swap them out between games!

>But I thought that gluing already primed and/or painted bits isn't a great idea since the glue might actually just break the paint from one part and just fall off.

This is more prone to happen if you use superglue instead of plastic cement. Of course, with metal models, plastic cement won't be doing anything for you, anyway. You can counter this by:

Pinning the parts together with a metal rod before gluing
Scraping away the paint down to the bare surface before applying the adhesive
Masking the surface(s) before painting to keep paint off them altogether

/wip/, how do I into basing?

Looking at GW's Urban basing videos, cutting up some sprue and using it as rubble looks like a good idea, but I've not a clue on anything else, as I don't have any texture paints either.

If I did order some, what should I use to spread it?

>>47259832
Fuck me, I use only super glue so I guess that's better I was able to snap an arm off a dude pretty easily now I think that one of my models falls down or something it would've snapped anyway. I guess I'll just have to snap all the arms off, paint them, sand the glue places up and then glue them back together. God damn it.
Painting each separate bit seems interesting to me tho it would be like picking the arms/legs/torso/any other bit, gluing them together and then just go play or something.

I'm about to paint my next cadian tank, what do you guys think about a base coat of army green before I do another base coat of the GW green I've been using just to make it less of a pain, or will the green be too different

>>47260019
Depends on what kind of base you want. The classic sand and faux-grass is pretty simple and can look pretty nice.

Want easy rocks? Take fine sand and/or gravel, paint em black and then dry-brush grey. Tree bark is great for bigger rocks, as is cork.

You looking for anything in particular?

>>47260155
I'm thinking about either a rocky desert or semi-urban feel.

I'm also conflicted on whether to make my tank blue with tan camouflage, or vice versa.

Here's a pic of a snapfit guardsman I did a couple weeks ago, haven't had time to start anything else yet.

>>47260333
Agrellan Earth with a wash is really easy for instant dry cracked earth and can be combined with grass and rocks as you desire

A technique I really like, but works best before painting is to spread liquid super glue on the base, then sprinkle a mixture of baking soda and sand.

To scale, sand ends up looking like very course gravel or small rocks and doesn't look good on its own, as where baking soda ends up looking like dirt or sand.

By tilting the base as you sprinkle the baking soda you can get a ripple effect

I'll take some pictures of this in a bit

>>47260333
This guy>>47260413

He knows what's up. Haven't played around with the texture paints, but some of them look pretty sweet.

>>47260413
>>47260493
Thanks mates!

Still unsure whether to make my Leman Russ Blue with Tan camo, or the reverse.

In my head, blue as the main color seems ideal, but tan might just turn out better. It would also match the color scheme more properly, looking at other IG colors.

>>47260708
I'd go with a base of tan and blue for armor panels on the turret or some such. Maybe some sort of blue splotching for camouflage?

The tricky part is make sure that the blue pops, but doesn't overwhelm the other colors. Looking at my own Russ (being a green with a light tan/green vertical striping) I see a couple of places where you could go solid blue. Those are: the connection between the turret barell portion and the rest of the barrel, the two armored plates just before the barrel and the edges that run around the sides of the tank. Paint the rest tan and those blue. See what you think.

Making some longer, dry bits of grass.
Made from cheap as/and shit craft brushes.
I glued the very tips with krazy glue and pressed together.
Once dry I cut them off from the entire brush in one piece.
Then I simply cut a piece of appropriate size with a sharp blade, add a dab of glue, and apply.

I want to prime some shit with Army Painter sprays, do I have to use the white/black undercoat primer and then follow up after it dries with a color primer? Or can I go straight to the color primer?

I'm a tard when it comes to keeping my brushes clean. How would you recommend getting clogged paint out of brushes?

Well, they're finished building. I still have a good bit more things to build before I get to painting them.

>>47259650

You cover the parts you're going to glue with sticky tack/masking tape or scrape it off with a knife.

I started with full assembly and found it annoying so now I just prime each part individually with the areas to be glued masked off.

It takes more time and effort but I prefer the convenience of painting. To be honest all you need to do is leave arms/weapons, helmet, and maybe backpack off.

>>47262710
My Dark Kin! I´m working on a Corpsethief Claw Formation to accompany my Dark Artisan myself (no camera unfortunately). Just wanted to ask; are these your first Engines of Pain? If they are, I just wanna advice you to BE CAREFUL. Those little arms, antennas and vials break easy, especially when drybrushing. Slightest pressure on those Chain-flails will break them, be extra careful with those. The little arms should be glued at two points of contact for stability. Trust me on this, I know. Hope this helps!

>>47263582
I'm painting up old Epic stuff. It's an easy motivator because all the Units were on cards at the time and I can break it down into detatchments and companies... So I've painted up a whole Evil-Sunz Clan, then all the Infantry for the Bad Moons (Though I ran out of steam with the suporting Gargant Big Mob and Braincrushas... too much Yellow :P) And I'm about done with the Blood Axes... with their experimental Great Gargant. It has a Snapper rather than a Belly-Gun, and a ton of Scorcher turrets. Not sure that it'll ever live long enough to use most of its weapons. Gargants are REALLY slow and the only long-range guns it carries are the auxilliary ones strapped to its ripper-fist. Should have enough infantry to make one or two more clans before I need to go shopping again... Just gotta decide which clan I want next, Death Skullz Maybe? Might go Stompa-heavy with them.

Could you guys help me out with colours? I'm not quite at the point where I can pick out what paints would be good where. I'm painting leather using this guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RuunLBVBdKc
For those of you who don't want to watch the video he: basecoats in XV-88, washes in Agrax earthshade, drybrush XV-88. He then mixes XV-88 with Ushabti Bone and drybrushes, gradually increasing the amount of Ushabti bone with each time. After all that he brings the colours together with a light wash of seraphim sepia.
Would it be possible to do the same thing with purple? I was thinking using Naggaroth Night for the base and Druchii Violet for the wash but I have no idea for the brighter one that gets mixed in. I'm going for a sort of sleepy, nighttime deep purple. Pic related. Thanks in advance.

Haven't worked much with Blender itself, but have worked with alot of similar programs, and i do 3D modelling and texture work for a living, so i can give some limited help.

>>47265898
I do CAD for a living, NX CAD to be precise, and was planning to just CAD some models to get better at the program, but just as a very basic question, how does a program like Blender track the real world size of the .stl file it will eventually generate?

>>47265923
You can usually set blender's units to a scale. I think the default is actually metres.

>>47265923

What was your recipe for the yellow? I was looking to do something close to it.

>>47266339

1. Primed black (don thave white)
2. 4-5 layers of yellow (its still thick on some places)
3. focussed wash agrax earthshade
4. drybrush hexos palesun yellow
5. glaze with lamenters yellow

>>47266430
I'll try it out, thanks.

this is much messier but it works just as well. If you take a doormat and cut it up you can use pliers or even your fingers to rip the fabric off it and use it as grass, you can also cut in into shapes and use them as fields and hedges. Also rubbing the cut shapes together will give you loads and loads of pieces of fabric

The most important thing is not to put gold directly over black. Put it over a copper or brown or yellow, or even a silver, but full gold coverage looks thick whether or not it is. Paints might be a tiny bit thick but it's pretty good.

Base with a shiny, bright silver is the key and then properly thinning your Washes with Lahmian Medium.

I find Runefang Steel is too dark and hard to get really smooth. It will leave your model looking kinda dirty or dull in the end. I don't think Liquid Silver is bright enough either, and again, it just won't be as smooth and slick as when applied from a spray can.

For the base, I use Krylon Metallic Silver Paint+Primer spray paint. Nice and shiny, very bright (almost white) and goes on nice and smooth.
*DO shake the can very well. I do 15 seconds one hand, 15 seconds the other hand and upside down, 15 seconds the other hand right side up, and again 15 seconds in the other hand upside down again.
*DO pay attention to the weather and use the spray paint in less than 50% humidity.
*DON'T spray on a windy day or do so in an isolated, yet well vented area.
*These are more important to pay attention to than regular spray paints, although you should listen to this advice regardless.

Then I do thinned washes of Asurmen Blue in a 3:5 ratio with Lahmian Medium.
Once dry, I do a light dry brushing of Runefang Steel over the armour to brighten some areas up.
Once that is completely dry, I do another thinned wash at the same ratio.
Once that is dry, I do a third wash, but this time 2:5 Asurmen Blue to Lahmian Medium.
Then edge highlight with Runefang Steel (which I have yet to do).

The gold is done the same, but with Gryphonne Sepia instead, and usually a 4th wash as well.

In btwn the gold and blue armour parts I do a number of very thin washed of Nuhl Oil with my smallest detail brush.

Badda Bing!

Any other questions?

>*I* recommend grey instead of white or black.

I used to use grey - specifically, Zynolyte Light Gray All-Purpose Spray Primer - but I noticed a distinct difference between the brightness of the red on those models vs the ones I primed white. Personally, I prefer the brighter red that I got over the white undercoat. I have a feeling that even among Blood ANgel players, I'd be in the minority on that one, though.

black is good if you are a beginner as it will hide mistakes later

white is brightest and gives the best color, but if you don't cover it completely it looks really bad

I use GW Corax White, which is a very light grey

Its not fully done yet, but its the first time i try painting armor. I may have overdone the wash i think.

>>47278606
I'd put it in my army with no questions asked.

Only thing is the barrel on the heavy bolter and the treads. I'd silver em both up and then shade the fuck out of both of them.

Now we just gotta keep an eye out for those Bigheads.

>>47278855
Thanks for the tip! i definitely need to get some of that mud texture stuff for the tracks.
The barrel on the multilaser looks fucked without the muzzle break that usually should be on there, but for some reason thats a separate piece in the bits, and it has to be drilled/cut to fit on.

>>47269096

>>47278888
why would a laser have a muzzle break anyway?

>>47278926
To please the machine spirit? idk. There's probably some specific reason for it, like venting or something

>>47278926
So if the guy on top is looking forwards, he isn't blinded by his own weapon when it fires. Lasers do nasty things to ones Mark 1 Eyeballs.

>>47278888
Or you could try painting them black and then drybrushing silver or necron compound over them if you want clean looking treads to do you weathering on.

As for the piece, it should just slide right on the end of the barrel. At least, the ones that I have all did that.

>>47278926
Maybe it's just an STC redundancy that is blindly produced simply because the replacement STC component is on some Crone world in the Eye of Terror.

>>47278859
That's nice terrain.
The paintjob kinda looks like you couldn't make up your mind about the theme though.
If you got red rock, you should have at least some brown/red dirt on it, if you go with a wasteland/ashwaste look black or grey rocks would have looked better imo.
And the snow looks really unusual to me with the red rocks, because I usually associate those kind fo rock formations with warmer climates, but that might just be me.
Anyway, I think you should either go full red or full black. Or at least try to blend the two colors together somehow. Like now it looks like two separate pieces stuck together. Maybe you could paint some of the bigger pieces of rubble red too, or drybrush the rocks with the grey from the gravel.
Just looks off to me atm.

>>47278972
That makes sense.

The problem is that the piece has no hole to slide it on with. It has to be drilled or cut to fit.

Couple pages back there was a thing where people rolled for a chapter to paint, I rolled Imperial Harbingers, so I painted this guy up and thought I might share him.
Was a good bit of practice, my weakest colors are white and yellow, but I think they turned out kinda alright for a second or third try. Definitely not perfect, but I know more of what not to do now. I also kind of forgot to dust him before I sprayed.
Read that they specialised in boarding actions, so I gave him a little combat shield from a Grey Knight box.

>>47280472
>using a combi-grav for a one-off model

Looks nice, especially the white and yellow, although the red combi-grav is a bit of a weird choice.

>>47280472
he's pretty, pal!

>>47280472
I'm the guy that threw the chart together, glad to see someone actually share what they rolled. Looks great, thanks for posting him.

>>47280554
Yeah, wasn't sure where to go with it, tried a darker grey at first, but it all felt a bit too washed out, so went with the red, to give it a bit of extra color
>>47280558
Thanks mate, never posted anything on here before, so was pretty nervous about it
>>47280591
It was definitely a great idea, motivated me to do something I'd never do otherwise, and I'm a lot better for it, might even do another roll and see what I turn up with.

>>47279039

Anyone have any experience with Army Painter sprays?

Do I need to prime it with a white spray first or do these work as a primer and basecoat?

>>47280647
I used the Necrotic Flesh spray on some zombicide stuff and it seems alright once it was varnished, just need to make sure the models are nice and clean before spraying.

>>47280616
>It was definitely a great idea
I can't take all the credit, I only shooped the thing. It was another anon that got the ball rolling when asking people to roll for a chapter for him to paint, and another that recommended a chart being made, so it was a collaboration.

This thread is nearly at bump limit so I'll wait for the next one before reposting the chart. Need to edit it first anyway, Red Scorpions appear twice on the current version.

As the guy who asked people to choose my chapter by rolling, I still consider you the main architect, I'm too lazy and incapable in paint/PS to do a nice chart like yours.

So I bought the Megaboss and Maw-krusha as a personal project cause I love the model.

Well GW posted something on how to do this armor on their app recently.

>>47279004
I highly appreciate the comment!
I explained this previously, but this is an old ashen wasteland world. An old Eldar Crone World that was inhabited by humans at the time of the fall and now resides close to the eye of terror.
It was a red planet, but the planet is now covered in the burnt out remains of billions of souls.
You will also notice that same red is incorporated throughout the entire piece. It is dry brushed after the black and before the grey.

>>47279518
your argument for of topic pictures is to blast on topic pictures?
You should listen to your own image.
>Listen here you little shit

>>47280076
Yeah the white lines seem way more subtle in real life. I debated reducing the resolution of the image, but I didn't want them to be too tiny either.

I can somehow get behind the idea that some people go painting with the mindset of "this is too hard, I am not ARTISTICALLY inclined" and do a shit job since they don't look up any tutorials.
Their money and they are the ones that will look at that horror at their table.
But Jesus, how can you comment that is good since there are MUCH better jobs on the fucking same subreddit?!

>Yeeesh, it's... good I guess, but a winner?
Yeah, that was kind of my thought. It doesn't blow my socks off, and in the middle of an army I'm not sure it'd catch my eye enough to ask if it's okay to pick it up and look at it specially.

>>47283400
>>47283419
Ah, fair enough then

I agree that sometimes you need a bit of tough love, and reddit is never going to give that to you

>>47283421
Agreed. The paintjob is decent and I personally like bright colours, but the idea and the setting are boring.
Have links for the runner-ups? Maybe it was a bad year.

Lads, absolute beginner here.

This is my first ever painted mini. Would like some recommendations.

I would, ideally, like my guy to have the look of the Wulfen's claws.

I used Corax White primer. I then painted a 2 base coats of Ceramite White, followed by a layer of Guilliman Blue glaze, per the painting directions for the Wulfen claw.

Can anyone explain to me where I went wrong? I understand my pooling problem.

Is it I need to do more layers of the glaze? Is my base too thick?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

>>47283674
I don't know, looking at the warhammerfest videos it seemed like there were not that many people.

The fact that they reduced the prices tremendously compared to the old gamesday, and were STILL selling tickets at the door is quite telling imo.
Still much better than nothing though.

>>47283797

The painting guide on the back of the box is made for beginners, it won't match the actual models since the 'Eavy Metal painters are probably using a blend of all kinds of colours + a lot of non citadel colours.

You need a more cyan colour.

White base.
I do a Blue wash (Ahriman Blue in the old names so don't recall the name for the new one)

Washes are thinner than glazes, so you can apply more and have less pooling as it will sit on flat areas.
