I know I posted them before, but I ripped off the ammo box for my draigo and gave him a magazine for the stormbolter and a sword handle. My ocd got the better of me.

Like most videogames, I mean look at the new Total War Warhammer game, sad times.

Anyway: anyone tried the new Citadel airbrush colors? I want to get kantor and genestealer for base airbrushing, but the normal paints clogged my airbrush hard, despite being thinned down.

Yeah, citadel is overpriced but I dont know how similiar Kantor blue is to vallejo imperial /dark prussian blue and vallejo has no substitute for genestealer.

Force weapons look better with greater contrast between the darkest and lightest parts.

Your reds just look really flat to me, same for the sergeant's white helm.

First unit of my Guardians of the Covenant army.
Wanted a small army with almost all units covered with hoods and clothed, but I can't figure a way to not make it extremely overxpensive (12 dollarydoos for 5 torsos and legs with robes).

Anyways, thoughts?
>>
>>47384699
Hoods and robes can be GSed, but you're then trading the cost of bits for the cost of learning to sculpt (and a bunch of whatever putty you end up using).

By mashing up the DA Veteran, Sternguard and Tactical kits you can get a strong robed vibe going without everyone being robed head-to-toe.

Also be more diligent for mold lines.
>>
>>47384699
looking good man. Regarding robes and hoods theres this
>>47384712

But also you can find decent prices on ebay for this stuff, takes longer to complete the army but its still money off the original prices

I like these but i just dont see the red boots. It makes them look like clows in my twited mind. The swords could use more white near the extremes, and the demon head lacks contrast with the rest of the model, maybe painting the horns black with a good red-black transition. But overall really nice models.

Much as they're not toxic, licking your brush is a habit it's better to kick: You're less likely to fuck up and do it if you're using enamels or oils (which you should not lick) and it's just a little bit skanky tbqh.

Looks nice, but get some lighter highlights on those belly spikes.

Next time take a bit more care for your mold lines, they're pretty obvious on the gauntlet.

I think I'd also wash the chicken a few more times for that golden, roasted colour, but that's just me.
>>
>>47385976
fucking disgusting. that means they are getting their saliva in the paint they use for their models. So basically their models are covered in their spit.
>>
>>47385870

That's the worst part of it, he's still in the original blister but I want to paint him which would destroy the value of him being mint/unpainted

Maybe lightning will strike twice and I'll be able to get a used one. I really can't stand the idea of unboxing OOP stuff for some reason.
>>
>>47385997
thanks! Yeah, for the belly spikes, I saw a tutorial on white dwarf but I probably screwed up something

Will be more carefull with the gauntlet next time, as I still have one more bull to paint

I'd have to try it out, but a brown ink for preference.
If in GW then seraphim sepia probably.

Basically at the moment the chicken doesn't look cooked and it's not that different to the ogre flesh, so I'd want to differentiate it by either going with paler fleshtones for a raw chicken or building up the golden-brown look.

I always imagine I'll find something like that at a garage or (more likely) an estate sale, but it's always the same women's shoes, Christmas decorations, and other junk. At least I was able to get my son a bicycle last time.

Sometimes I think about selling some of my stuff, but whenever I do, I always regret it. I had a Sisters army, >>47386161, with a custom Inquisitor bearing a Condemnor bolt gun to lead them, and I sold them for way less than they go for these days.

lol, so? You touch virtually every part of those models before and after. Probably blow on them at some point, clearing off dust, or excess basing material.
You cough, scratch your armpits, butt, belly, nose, ears, etc, etc, then touch yours and other models.
Yet the tiniest amount of saliva on CURED paint (do you know what that means?) makes you freak out?
I hope you never eat out at a restaurant lol.

Hey /wip/, I figured if anyone could help me you guys would. Just finished assembling my renegade box, and im trying to figure out the color scheme for my knights. I have the green I want for the main livery, and the Imperial livery Is going to be black aquila on red field. My only problem I that I would like to use that cream color House Terryn uses for personal livery, but I cant figure out where to start. If anyone Ould help that would be awesome, Im also open to suggestion if people feel that the colors I listed clash or dont work well togetheri

So I posted these guys yesterday while the thread was already dying, mentioned I was considering ditching the magnets and just building them as grav centurions. Probably with missiles?

I already have a lot of las in my army with razorbacks and a predator I need to get around to building. Plus I think if I want las devastators I should make them regular guys since they'll have a nice range without needing to move around...

Fists if matters.

I tried a few new techniques out today but they kind of failed badly. I tried that whole reflecting silver on the deathwatch dark angel sword. And a exposed eye socket on my disfigured death guard. Not happy with either.

The other 2 models are very early WIP. A deathwatch Minotaur and vindicare assassin (haven't even finished base coats on vindicare)
>>
>>47387149
i think it's probably 1/35
I could be wrong though since 40k isnt perfect with their scaling.
>>
>>47387394

the silver in the sword is allllmost right. Could work if you tried it again

Also I really like the armour on the dude with the lichen eye
>>
>>47387149
>>47387408

I read somewhere (look up dakka dakka or one of the other forums, they have topics where some guy measured each viable tank at each scale) that 40k's vehicles are inbetween 1/48 and 1/35.

and even so they are a wee-bit too small. So if you buy it in 1/35 it'll be bigger than a 40k tank but the little plastic dudes will seem like they'd fit inside.

Photos are actually reasonably in focus, but following pic related will make them nicer to look at.
Creating a collage is also a good way to present multiple views of the same model instead of making multiple posts.

Okay, now that I am done with my metallic Thousand Sons, and before I move on to my Daemons of Tzeentch, I am going to take a terrain making interlude.

So, you guys saw my Spiral Rock Mountain, two rusty vents and one hill. I am going to continue on this table by finishing my two CHURCH tiles.
One has been painted and such, but some /tg/iggers said it looked too clean (of rubble and debris) and the other is in early stages.

You can see I have lots of plasticard pipes and girders and I do have various thicknesses of plasticard sheets. You can also see lots of scraps and bits and resin bricks.
Does /tg/ have any recommendations as I move forward? I have tons of resin sandbags and barrels as well.
I have custom daemonic stained glass windows on transparent paper to fit into windows, but I am not sure if I should use any as the building is in ruins.

Anyone ever use this for anything?

I am thinking of doing a water feature with a turquoise colouring under the water and thought about doing a final dry brush of this stuff before adding the Realistic Water Effects on top.
My group plays night fight turns with the lights out and headlamps on. I think this might be a really neat sort of Table "easter egg" for my friends.
Also, you should try Night Fight with headlamps... it was initially a joke... that turned out to be really fun and a house rule.

Glow effects are the easiest thing in the world if you use glazing mediums and acrylic flow improver (galleria for example)

Just make the center of what you want bright really bright. Start off dark and work your way to the center with intermediate colors mixed with the glaze medium.

Maybe a graboid-like thing, from Tremors?

Good effort anon and I like that you are thinking outside the box. It would be great if you could bring the head down to a sensible level. Maybe try and make it more like a terminator with the head.
Alternatively lose the power armor shoulder pads and move the arms up to raise where his shoulders would be.

À quick question for /wip/ from a newfag

What kind of files do you use to clean your dudes? Just started WH40K this month and when ever I file down those sprue attachment it seems I do more damage then good, especially on round areas like shoulder pads.

I fear it will look bad when I start painting. Any suggestions or tips?

Excuse the bad quality, I only have access to my phone at the moment.
>>
>>47387798
Awesome. I love big chunky megabosses.
>>
>>47390571
I use the flat (not sharp) side of an xacto knife.
>>
>>47390571
Use the back of your craft knife.
Scrape it along the mold line at a 45 degree angle.
>>
>>47390507
Its my hand writing over my WIP work. I'd say that is about the least important thing to make an issue over, but thanks for the input.

Get a hobby file set. They're cheap at big-box hardware stores.

I swear there is nothing more spirit crushing than thinking you're doing well then coming back to look at the model later and seeing that your paint still ended up chalky.

I don't understand why thinning with water is so hard for me.

The shadows probably aren't as dark as I'd like, but overall I'm pretty happy with how my Imperial Assault Royal Guards turned out. I have 2 more groups (4 more figures) to do, but I'll probably trade them away when they're done, since they got nerfed so hard.
>>
>>47390938
I love the model too,not sure if it's the photo,but from what i see it needs some stronger highlighting. How did you do the blue?there is something strange about it.(you almost did it)
>>
>>47390948
Pretty much, no other stores in a 2 hour range as well
>>
>>47390979
Highlighting is not my strong suit, I'm still practicing with it. The blue is Macragge blue, over a black spray and a leadbelcher undercoat, black wash and lothern blue highlights.
>>
>>47391006

I already got one but it feel it's too coarse. Might be that I don't know how to use it properly.
>>
>>47391088
The light blue highlights seems more like random scratches than highlights,just throw it on the edges.(or maybe you did?)maybe take another colour and get a second highlight?(was the "lighter caledor sky" teclis blue?)
>>47390963
Yeah they are pretty flat ,especially considering how monocromatic guards are.

LoL what do you think mulch is?
Yes, it is real bark, and ALSO mulch.
It was separated by size (medium and large) and then washed, and dried in the sun (a year ago).
It will later be sealed with paint. As shown in earlier WIP shots, I use latex house paint samples for the main colours of Raven Black, Tawny Port (like red wine), and Milestone (a medium grey). Watered down Black is applied to the entire piece with a sponge brush. Then a second layer. Then all the other colours. It's a little thirsty at first with the black, but that is the point.
As you can see in my other pieces, it takes paint quite well.
Oh, and I use coconut shell pieces for the smaller sizes of my "rock" to help fill in gaps.

>>47390571
mold lines I mostly use the craft knife, but I do have some fine needle files.

For the cheapo option try fine emery boards (for fingernails).
>>
>>47392076
That scheme has a lot of potential, than, it only needs some more depth on the colour to look very interesting.
>>
>>47392143

See >>47392111, if you use it correctly, it'll leave a slightly hard feeling to the brush.
You know that kind of feeling when it's brand new? Hard, but still soft and usable? Basically that.
There's a reason this stuff gets posted so often.

It's rough and have a shit camera on my phone.

>>
>>47396734

>>
>>47396944
You really have to clean the parts you want to glue at least, finecast comes out with a small layer of release spray from the cast that makes it not stick to the mold, you have to clean that otherwise it will release from glue as well.

Warm water and mild dish soap. It sounds like I'm yankin' ter chain, but I'm not.

>>47397222
im not sure if i trust that, even if it a trip said it. Last time i took advice that sounded funny it was for me to soak models that i want the paint off of in acetone overnight. I lost a lot of models.

>im not sure if i trust that, even if it a trip said it. Last time i took advice that sounded funny it was for me to soak models that i want the paint off of in acetone overnight. I lost a lot of models.

You're asking about mold release, right? The stuff is like grease. Warm water and mild dish soap.

If you were, perchance asking about crusty cyanoacrylate residue... well, now that's tricky. I used Goof Off to do that today, but that stuff would dissolve resin. My model was metal. You might have to result to chipping it off with your knife or yeah, scraping it off with a file.
>>
>>47397295

wow well yeah, acetone is a fucking solvent. soap and water isnt going to destroy your finecast. I have an entire army of the stuff, if you cant clean it with a file, a mild scrub wont ether
>>
>>47397295
>soak models that i want the paint off of in acetone overnight
Holy fuck, you're inept
>>
>>47397295

Jesus, you didn't try it with a disposable mini first? How many times were you dropped when you were a baby?

Also water and dish soap does no damage whatsoever to your minis, try it out with one first so you see.

Should I leave my Raider/Ravagers without pilots to score a few extra Kabalites?
>>
>>47397162
you can use warm water and soap on a small sprue that you're going to throw away anyway
You could use a small tissue with a little water and just clean the spots you want to glue, but it's recommended that you clean it whole otherwise the paint might chip away due to the release agent but I can't confirm this.

Fact is simple, plastic doesn't stick to the mold, finecast does because it's porous which might lead to a loss in detail.

I got a chinaman njal the stormcaller last year and had to do this too, didn't even know that finecast is retarded and reacts to almost anything so I did it without fear, and nothing happened.
>>
>>47392959
that's from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, it's got nothing to do with Slaanesh
>>
>>47397843
alright, ill do it. anyways, why do companies use finecast, it seems kinda shitty compared to plastic.
>>
>>47397937
It IS shittier than just plastic, but finecast is able to get more details than regular plastic, the cons are just too much though, more details means more crowded places it must get into to form, but that also means the higher risk for bubbles to form and it's bad in the sense that it breaks easily too.

On the contrary, shapeways' frosted ultra detail 3d prints are actually very high quality.

But they do cost quite a bit.
>>
>>47402578
Can confirm, though the bottom of the print tends to need a bit of work with the printlines, It looks great though.

I haven't tried acrylic, but I've heard that's ok too. Avoid strong and flexible though, the printlines are a pain to get out.

It's definitely a cool idea for the aesthetic.
I think you just need to work on separating the colours. Right now you can get a general idea of what is trying to be achieved but all the colours are just blending into each other. First step on miniature painting is learning to paint within the lines basically. Keep it up though!
>>
>>47400935

That's actually quite a funny story. People think MORE MEGAPIXELS == BETTER PHOTOS but it only makes the photos bigger. Shitty lens with low optical zoom + huge MP = huge blurry pictures

You could maybe try black-lining? You justseparate the different colours with a VERY thin line of black paint. Some companies (like Reaper) actually sell special 'lining' paints... but you need to be a bit careful with it or it'll look kinda odd.

Anyone here got experience sculpting minis? I'm looking to getting into sculpting and casting my own minis but I'm not sure where to start.

What are some things I should know before hand? I'm going for 28mm and using ProCreate. Never done this before though so I'm a bit nervous on how they'll turn out.

The look I'm going for is the pre-Viking age Scandinavian warriors similar to pic related.
