repost of my powerfist, started the lightning effect and i like how it looks. i experimenterd with drybrushing a glow effect but it looked like shit and i had to repaint the entire pinky.

more updates will follow, sorry if i post to much pics with slow progress but i'm still half hyped and half awed about having a titan.

first mini ever and I even made an attempt at the lightbox thing so pls no bully

What color should I paint the gun / backpack? I can't decide. (Not that the rest of him is meant to be done.)

>>47580469
Thin your paints a bit, anon. You're almost there. Also, do black for the stock of the gun, then green for the barrel. Backpack is your choice of what looks best.

>>47580469
Can we just take a second to appreciate that this first time painter took the ten seconds to make sure we could actually see his miniature to critique it? I wish more newbies would do this.

I think the blue you have for your Tau skin is too dark; it looks really hard to highlight. I also can't tell if the coverage on it is bad or if it's overwashed; I suspect the former because that black looks like it might just be primer.

Your green looks prickly, but I can't tell if it's because of the image compression hiding brushstrokes or if your primer went on fuzzy. Either way, I actually really like the color, and I can see some line highlighting too. The lines look a little sloppy, but the color is again good--try highlighting with the side of your brush to get them thinner. You might still struggle with it, but your hand muscles will adapt in time.

I think the red icon on the green is a pretty good look. It reminds me of old mecha anime a little. I think you could benefit from some careful washing in the crevices of the symbol to hide where your red went over the lines.

Are the cloth bits and black armor on the model supposed to look like that? As it is, they look like unpainted primer. If you paint them a medium to dark grey, and then put a black wash over it, I think that will look a lot better. You never want the main color you're putting down to be just black.

As for the gun and backpack, I think you could do worse than the grey/metallic scheme you have now. It looks very near-future, which is pretty stylish.

Overall, there are a lot of disparate colors on the model, but a lighter blue skin will go a long way towards tying it together and making red the highlight, instead of contrasting with the blue so much. Consider something like The Fang or Russ Grey as your skin tone instead.

Going for a predominantly NASA-esque white for my Solar Auxilia tanks with orange markings, ala The Martian. My SA soldiers have bare steel armour, orange coveralls and white piping.

How does it look? Apart from the vertical stripe on the side of the hull what other details on the tanks (2 Dracosans and a Valdor tank hunter) should be picked out in orange?

>>47580502
>Thin your paints a bit, anon.

I've been trying, it's so hard to tell where the right amount of thinness is, I can't seem to find the right balance between water and paint

>Also, do black for the stock of the gun, then green for the barrel.

The same green as the armor (which is castellen green)? Or loren green, which I have been (attempting, poorly) to use as a highlight.

>>47580912
>I can't seem to find the right balance between water and paint
I've got you covered. Put some paint on your brush. Not a ton, but about what you'd use to paint with. Now dip the tip into some water for just a second. pull it out, and lay it sideways on a paper towel to pull out excess water. When the paint doesn't spread out from the point of contact via capillary action, your paint is thinned and ready to go.

>>47580740
>I think the blue you have for your Tau skin is too dark; it looks really hard to highlight.

Yeah, it came out darker than I wanted it to, I wasn't sure exactly what colors to use. I'll do it differently next time.

>I also can't tell if the coverage on it is bad or if it's overwashed; I suspect the former because that black looks like it might just be primer.

Probably overwashed, I didn't like the blue I used so I threw guilliman blue all over it to see if that helped. The primer is gray, see: the gun/backpack.

>Your green looks prickly, but I can't tell if it's because of the image compression hiding brushstrokes or if your primer went on fuzzy.

For the thinning, use your thumbnail as a a good surface to test how thin it is. You don't want it to be too watery/clear at the edges, but you don't want it to lump up either.

Paint it the same way you would the armor. Use pic related and copy where the black is and where the orange is, make it green instead.

As for the skin, here you go: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zn5X21xlDbg

It definitely has absolutely nothing to do with pic related.

FUCK I'VE TRIED SO MANY TIMES, that, or going back in with red to hide where I fucked up the washing. The struggle is eternal

If you paint them a medium to dark grey, and then put a black wash over it, I think that will look a lot better. You never want the main color you're putting down to be just black.

Actually, they were just the primer gray under a black wash, but that made them sooooo much darker than I expected to, so I just painted black overtop in an attempt to smooth it out. Originally they were gonna be brown but somehow I don't have any brown colors. Any tips to move on from where I am now?

>As for the gun and backpack, I think you could do worse than the grey/metallic scheme you have now. It looks very near-future, which is pretty stylish.

Yeah, I noticed that too. They're just primer gray under agrax earthshade, but they do look alright. Advice on colors? Should I go forward from where they are now somehow, or go over them in administratum gray, or...?

>Overall, there are a lot of disparate colors on the model, but a lighter blue skin will go a long way towards tying it together and making red the highlight, instead of contrasting with the blue so much. Consider something like The Fang or Russ Grey as your skin tone instead.

So far so good. I would give the blue and grey areas washes; Drakenhof Nightshade and Nulin Oil, respectively. These will really help darken them in areas you'd want them darker and should help add depth.

Also practice little by little with highlights. It takes time, and doing complicated or detailed highlights might be something better reserved for your favorite models or special units, but its worth the results. The following might help.

http://fromthewarp.blogspot.com/2011/08/basics-line-highlighting-made-simple.html

Overall, you did pretty good for a first attempt. Keep practicing and keep us updated.

>>47580996
I never realised how silly Taus looked with their tiny bodies and their bigass heads.

>>47581030
>Any tips to move on from where I am now?
The other benefit of having them grey makes it tie in with the gun, giving it a more cohesive feel. You could probably do a lot worse than your primer + agrax, it's a pretty solid combo. Maybe drybrush a grey that's close to the primer color to give it a little depth. In general I would encourage you not to rely too much on the color of your primer, because I prefer trying out new primers and don't want any of my colors to be completely dependent on my primer choice. I think the gun/pack could look good with your choice of greys, that agrax wash, and a leadbelcher drybrush.

it hurts every day that this site no longer updates, it literally taught me how to paint back when I started miniature wargaming.

That's basically all 40K minis

>>47581182
Heroic scale. They're all like that, but some of the heavy armor obscures it.

>>47580867
I like the idea.

I'd say MAYBE the upper tank skirts or whatever you call them, the parallel things right above the treads, could benefit from some colours.

Do note that the right tank has bent lascannons. Those same lascannons are not finished ? You missed some tiny bits on the barrels, and they tend to pop out in the middle of this bright colour.

A miniature, especially a gaming piece, is different than a drawing though.
Big weapons make it easy to identify wargear and the heads make the minis easy to identify even from across the table.
They are made to be readable as gaming pieces.

If you put them next to a truescale mini you'll notice how off they are and how truly terrible they look in a vacuum. But for what they are and their intended purpose they work quite well.
Skirmish games usually have minis with better proportions, but go towards 30 or 32mm to get the same amount of detail on the faces. If you've tried to paint a truescale 25mm face you'll know that there is a pretty big difference there.

Newbie did everything in his posts. He put up a good picture, which is rare enough to be mentionned, used a small spoiler, smart move to catch attention when you're scrolling. He then took critics adequately, without being buttblasted, and will probably come back with, hopefully, a logically better painted mini.

I'm about to start painting a bunch of Dark Eldar but I was curious if it'd be a better idea or not to leave the arms off and paint them separately. Should I leave them off or just put the whole models together and paint them like that?

Arms that cross the torso can be annoying to paint yeah, to make it easier it's a good idea to keep them off, but do dry fit and glue the gun & holding arms together so that you know where they're going to contact with the body afterwards for sensible highlighting on the arms.

I don't have $33US to shell out for it, especially since I own full-sized bottles of most of the paints that come in it anyway, but the three squadboyz you get with the new learn-to-paint Space Marine kit Citadel just put out are the closest I've seen GW make to true-scale marines. I think this is the first time I've seen a painting kit that didn't come with the cookie-cutter rejects from a previous edition's boxed set. I sure hope they start selling these ladz by themselves.

That's a tough call... you can't use the old Imperial trick of just gluing a purity seal over the blemish. Still, it looks a lot to me like the way Orks would decorate their vehicles. What about simulated paint chipping? Or would that ruin the weathering job you've done?

You could just tilt the wings a little backwards until the body of of your prince is in the middle of the base.
If you have magnets or something like that in the back you should be able to adjust their position as well, so he stands upright in the air.

You can buy a box of 5 basic Cadians for £6 or less, which seems to be work out better than the mega bitz shop.

>>47587904
Its a bit difficult to see the details due to low light/low quality camera/unpainted skin but from what I can see they look really nice definitely a cool concept

A private in my modern ImagiNation's army. The model is a Eureka Miniatures US Marine.

>>47588536
It looks excellent, ands it's painted very well... But for such an expensive model why choose such a lame, static pose? It could be braced with its legs apart like the knight at least.

>>47588132
I think the grey look is probably more challenging to paint, but it also definitely looks better.
Ogres are not just bigger men. They're a different species.
I also just think that painting them in more fleshy colors make them look less threatening. I've seen some pretty nicely painted Ogres with flesh colors, but that humanized them too much.
These guys aren't supposed to have cute red noses, they are gonna rip your head off and eat you if they are hungry. They're completely alien to a human biologically and in terms of morality. I think their looks should reflect that somehow.

So what is your project for the weekend Anon ?

I'm having a bit of painting burnout, so i decided to dig through some old boxes. Found these two circular plates i think i'll try to make into a two-story night club for Infinity.

>>47587671
Thank you! It's a pain in the ass, but army painter's yellow primer helps a lot...

>>47588540
well, they are "vintage" in the sense that they are oop and you can feel that in the second hand prices... doesn't feel like 10 yrs since I bought them. But don't go into feels-mode: I started myself just before 3rd edition hit the shelves, so yeah: playing/painting for a long time myself: we're getting old, but as long as you're still able to go on a playdate and bring toy soldiers, what's to regret?

Ninth Age Vamp lord. Im not great at painting so not sure what to do to get any further with this. Picture taken while varnish was drying so SHINY.

hey /wip/,
Does anyone have experience with "nested basing" of miniatures?

I'm considering a conversion project with some Skitarri but I'd like to be able to use said miniatures for both 40k and Gorkamorka.

I was thinking it'd be something like a WHFB 25mmx50mm that stacked on top of a 105x70mm Oval base ala 30k Primarch "display" bases.

Any tips would be appreciated!

I just picked up some spray to start work on a tonne of flagellants that I'm converting into psykers (I showed off the first three already, pic related). I'm going to try and power through to get them done nicely.

On a more mental level, I'm pondering what I want to do modelling wise after this since that will bring my first every army up to 1500 points. I'm tempted to convert my crimson slaughter into a custom warband that's very ice-themed. That or start on my Sigmar army because I got an empire battalion for free.

So I posted a Leman Russ in one of these on tuesday, and a guy expressed interest in seeing the colour scheme of my guardsmen, so here's a selection (and a Commissar).

I'm not a great photographer, so the sergeant's chainsword and a guardsman's flamer are out of focus (as is the guardsman), sadly, but I hope the point kinda gets across. I know they're not fantastic, and that I've got a long way to go in terms of stuff like highlighting, but I hope they're okay. Any critique is welcome.

The reason it looks weird is because it's supposed to be crouched and yet both knees are extended, the left one even beyond normal limits. For that pose to look natural, the knees should be bent ready to spring, otherwise, as it now stands it looks like either it's awkwardly falling over or getting ready to do push ups.

First time posting here. Starting a force of Black Templars, first test model here. Thoughts?

>>47592982
They may sound crazy, but as some of >>47597303 mentions, look at guides on contouring with makeup and apply the same concepts to painting.

are army painter color primers worth the expense?

if not, then no

why can't you fucking people take a fucking normal photo? why are you picking it up? what makes you think you should pick it up? why can't you focus on the model we are trying to look at?

It looks good, I guess. Gun could use some work - metal looks a bit flat. Mouldlines on right arm.

>>47598388
Did you have bother getting coverage on the brass parts of the slugga? Because it looks just like how my brass came out when I was painting over steel on my first few nobz as well.

The trick I found was to put down a thing coat of brown first then apply the bronze, then it looks more like a different piece of metal rather than some colour on top of the same (if that makes sense).

Other than that everything is looking good! but as others have said the picture quality could be hiding some flaws.

>>47598594
I didn't have any issues with the brass/copper over the leadbelcher but I'll try your method.

It's finally done. Sort of.

Damn, I feel mad special. I even colored in the lines. I am great artist.

And to think it only fell over once before I got it into a relatively stable positioning. It's ridiculously top-heavy, and suffers from the Curse of Guardsman Shoot The Ankles. Still gotta get a support rod for it, to balance the weapons on a tripod (Where the cutters are as a stopgap). After that, spruce up the base and everything will be flawless. Absolutely flawless.

I was gonna ask about base decorations, but given how this monster is dominating the largest base I could find on the market, I don't think anything else could fit. I'll figure something out. Some trees and foliage, yeah.

>>47598724
Literal trees, making it look like it's 100' tall, would be sick.

Your blue/purple combo is kinda suffering from monosaturation. If either the blue or the purple was a bit desaturated, I think the model would look much less busy. The red and silver look good alongside the blue, though. Are you gonna add highlights?

>>47598724

Wait a second, you replaced the four-barrel burst cannons with the shitty closed ones.

Churches! Churches!

>>47598906

Yeah, I intend to add a few trees and grass patches, what's left after firing a gun that is larger than a riptide. I'll probably use a bush to cover the base of the eventual support rod.

What's left now is minor cleanup, and highlights on the sensors and gun bits.

>>47598933

The Stealth Suit burst cannon variants are so much tighter than the four barrel, not to mention sturdier.

>>47598973

Given the original plan was a jungle-style base, I had some ruined temple bits reminiscent of lizardmen and old slann I was gonna stick on. But holy shit they can't fit. That base is 8 inches. The base it comes with is 6 inches. How did they expect you to fit this thing on a 6 inch base?

Blue and purple are an odd case of analogous colors, if you put them near each other they'll accent each other to a small extent, but may blend together.

>>47599415
it's reflecting*

casual typing has aborted all sense in me, autism triggered

>>47599427
Considering I work for a paint company, I didn't expect 4chan to lecture me on color theory.

But damn if you're not right. Blue + desaturated blue looks alright, but that purple throws everything off.

>>47599246
>>47599485

The colors aren't blending that hard though, with the exception of the battlesuit's vents.

How difficult would it be to sculpt these hats on bald orc heads as a newbie sculptor? How would I go about that?
How do I sculpt horns? Wolf fur pendants (those things on strings with a metal cap with furs connected) and even a wolf skin cap?

>>47598724
looks clean from that far away, but the color choices are just really unfortunate (unless you're intentionally harking back to Habro/Kenner action figures from the 1990s, in which case bravo in all seriousness)

>>47599246
How hard was that thing to put together?

So I made this. It's my second attempt on sculpting and first on painting. Thoughts?

>>47600067

Each foot is five pieces. Each leg is six pieces. The body itself is made of about seven pieces that voltron together into a brick that would make an inspired techmarine proud. Honestly, the hardest part was the legs and feet, and the rest was straightforward.

Who sells good monsters? Namely trolls, giants and dragons

>>47600307
If you're on a budget, try Reaper and look in their Bones material- much cheaper than the same models in metal (but more of a faff to work with)

>>47600174
Its pretty solid, especially for your second sculpt and first painting job.

If you can with your sculpting materials, try sanding your models down just a little to smooth out some of the areas. And the paint job is looking great, try to be a little neater with areas where colors meet, such as the hair and skin.

Sorry if I came off as nitpicky. I honestly like it a lot and would love to see more of your work.

Old-school af

>>47601469
I did somewhat like that, but I need to improve my painting of skin generally, and I would have struggled to bring attention to the head, I think. Warplock Bronze just looks really nice on its own, I had to persuade myself to start highlighting once I'd done the basecoat.

I don't have enough heads without bionic eyes and shit that aren't already earmarked for my sternguard, so I'm going to be stuck with the stock faces for some of them.
Thinking of doing the masks with oxide trails from the eyes as if they're weeping- no real fluff justification or reason other than it's /something/ to make the default stormcast faces at all interesting.

Desperate times call for desperate measures.

I'm gonna take a bunch of pics of my minis and upload them in a future thread (I've got a lot). Almost everything is a work in progress still because I rarely 'finish' models by properly basing them or doing little highlights. I've been out of the game for like 7 years but still think about all those night just toiling away painting. I don't even know what the hell Age of Sigmar is and why everything is terminator big now, what happened to the game. I'm assuming its just typical GW retardation, just in overdrive. Is normal Warhammer Fantasy still supported even?

Anyway, expect to see alot of Ogres and Space Wolves in the future guys.

>>47601253
>>47601746
Guy didn't seem to know much about them even though he's a toy seller. They're all older metal GK models though.

>>47601788

Age of Sigmar is a new game using the old models inititally. End Times killed the old world, AoS takes place after this apocalypse. There's a bunch of lore that I don't know that well.

Rules for your ogres in Age of Sigmar are available free through the GW site or the AoS app. They're really strong in AoS, incidentally.

WHFB is no longer supported, but people still play it and some fan systems and alternatives have become more popular.

>>47601788
WHFB no longer exists and Age of Sigmar is fucking horrible trash.

There's a fan-made ruleset called 9th Age that some people use now, while others play Kings of War or moved back to 6th or 7th WHFB

>>47601866
Doesn't matter. God damn good find.

I think a darker skintone would look better on him.
Like the scheme on the armor though. Looks way better than the gold and blue of the studio stuff.

>>47599823
Check out Spellcrow.
You can get bare heads and heads with conan the barbarian style helmets and other stuff from them.
Or just look on ebay for fantasy orc heads.

Sculpting them wouldn't be too hard if you got a little practice, I can't speak to your skill level though.
In general you want to do the main shape first. The steelcap for the helmets and a cone for the leather hat.
After that you add details like steel bands, rivets or the sides to the helmets and another layer over the leather cap where you sculpt creases, stitching and other detail.
You can make yourself a stamp tool to sculpt stitching. You then just press that into the GS and sculpt the seams between the stitches.

Is this what necton compound is meant to look like? It's consistency is very lumpy. I took it back to the GW store and he said I just needed to tip out any excess liquid and it'll turn into more of a solid block of paint?

Is it still usable for dry brushing in this state?

>>47604893
Yeah that's how dry paints are meant to be.

>>47591465
People told me nail polish remover was the one, great, super safe way to remove paint. It worked out great on one model - didn't work out so well on the 20 i shoved in after that. Won't happen again.

>>47595998
Thank you for the kind words anon. My work tends to look like shit in its early stages, hence is why i kinda stopped posting my WIPs in WIP. Oh, the irony. Anyway, my green's vallejo's Goblin Green with a shade of Army Painter's Strong Tone, aka totally not Devlan Mud, and a few layers after that.

I'm not even that happy with the way they look right now, a little too clean for the lobotomized mutant renegade berserkers slaves that they are. But adding blood and pigmets is easy, so that will probably be added close to the finishing line.

I might matte it out with pigments once the rest of the model is painted

Is it a viable option to use black primer when painting white/whiteish minis? I've seen copule of GW guides, the space marine one that gets posted around there and DEldar one(Rakhart Flesh->Agrax Earthshade->Rakhart Flesh->Pallid Wych Flesh). Seeing that every area on the mini that wasn't painted white is black I'd assume that it was primed black. Wouldn't it take much less coats and time to just use white primer?
