It's saging, but the previous thread (>>48009226) is still only on page 8.

First time using loose Citadel static grass instead of Army Painter tufts. I officially prefer the appearance of the latter.

Is the weapon turret base for the drop pod the same size as the turret base of the razorback? Looks like it from photos, but I don't have either kit to test.

>>48036019
Gamergrass is the best I've found, I think it was £17 for 5 big sheets of varied tuft sizes fairly tightly packed on.

>>48036127
Wait no, it was 7 sheets. Forgot I bought some daft ones I've not used yet, like wintery grass and blobs of moss.

Black armor, should I leave it as is after the primer and go straight to Highlight or should I do something to it. Going for a matte look to up the intimidation factor.
I hope the inevitable Deathwatch Codex allows me to take Terminators

>>48036281
I'd at least blend a little dark grey in at the lighter areas.

>>48036281
I go for a rough highlight, wash with black and maybe do some touch ups (that highlight can be a bit rougher than I'd like), then highlight the edges a slightly lighter grey. But honestly it depend on your style so experiment!

>>48036300
Okay.
How do I blend?

>>48036446
Thin paint, apply a small amount, swap to a moist brush, brush the edge of the paint into the direction you want to blend.

I learned from this, actually: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cw6QjE2a7A0

Just give it a few tries on sprue before you accidentally your models.

>>48038533
Going to do the details and bases?

>>48038500
The model looks very nice to me, only a few things irk me.

The black is very clean, but perhaps they're too clean. I'd do some more highlights and then sponge on some Leadbelcher for a weathered effect.

I'd also do some highlighting with Runefang Steel on the guns. They look a tad boring to me at the moment.

Otherwise its a good work.

Finished assembling and priming most of these models, the Scion will be the first up to be painted. I put them on inserts larger than the insides of the bases partially because the bloodwretches and their splayed out poses make them a hard fit.

Hey guys,

After years and years of painting with only brushes, I'm jumping into airbrushes.

What basics do I need? Can I use my current GW paints? I hear I can just thin them down with Windex.

I'm really coming in blind here.

>>48041978
Yay for Nurgle.
Gritty? Naw it's a bad rash
stray hair? Yup
Gone on too thick? Flesh oozing like wax.

>>48041937
>>48041978
Yeah that sucks hard. I've managed to save some badly primed models by dry brushing them (literally, no paint) before the primer had really cured. Helped cut down the dust.

>>48038500
did you attempt marble instead of plain white? If so, it's interesting, not quite there, but a cool idea.

>>48039586
do you have a blog? I swear I already saw this this morning.

>>48042063
Aye. I did that too with a few metal orks I had lying around. The basecoat turned out dusty so I vigorously brushed the largest particles off with a large brush and painted over any scratches with a brush.

I think you're looking at your own solution; glue magnets to the backpack, then sculpt sockets around them.

>>48042041
Windex contains ammonia. Ammonia eats chrome. Airbrushes are covered in chrome. Don't use windex.

has anyone got examples of the technique where you paint layers over silver actually working? As I'm about to try it and I have no idea if I'll do it well

>>48042994
which technique exactly? Are you trying to coat the silver or let it shine through like when painting a gem?

>>48042994
Just make sure it's a wash/ink, or a regular paint diluted heavily with medium.

>>48042535
Spikes along the back, like spines. Possibly add pieces of tattered cloth or something else to make that back slightly more interesting.

But by the Omnissiah, that's cool.

Ya did good anon.

My only real criticism is a lack of highlighting. I can see some highlights, but thin, sharp, bright edge highlights really help with models. Going over the edge of the gold and metal parts with bright gold/steel would really make them pop.

Also, the red is very flat and could use a lot of attention. With a couple layers of increasingly brighter red but over smaller and smaller areas you could make that haft and that topknot really pop, but at the moment they just kinda look dark and boring.

>>48042041
What brush are you starting with? Iwata Eclipse is still my most used brush and a great starter.

I dont use Citadel paints for airbrush, Ive had problems with clogs when there shouldnt have been. Start building a collection of Vallejo is my advice regarding paints.

Cleaning and troubleshooting will be your biggest obstacles. Ive been airbrushing models for about 3 years, and cleaning is priority #1. I cant stress this enough.

Watch some cleaning tutorials for whatever brush you buy. Take extreme care with the needle. Always assume theres dried paint in the tip if you are getting a bad spray. Disassemble and clean often.

Not all colors are equal. Some will require more thinning than others. Its a trial and error thing. You'll have sone growing pains, but its gonna be worth it.

>>48043450
Have you considered adding a bit of metallic paint to the rivets on that juggernought.

Typically panels like that get painted after assembly, and the paint globs up around the rivet's bottom, while the paint on its top is the first thing to chip off. Just a thought from a metal-working fag.

>>48043531
I haven't touched him in a long time. These got taken just after a tournament I had stayed up 16 hours painting everything in a mad rush for. That's why there's also orange over fucking everything. It comes off like a rust effect, but in reality I just overshot with my airbrush at 4 in the morning and couldn't be fucked fixing the paint.

I will paint over the rivets though, I generally do do that.

>>48043608
Fair enough, was just askin about it

So I layered a guy in leadbelcher, then silver, and now I'm just layering agrax over agrax over agrax to see if I can get a glossy brown (kind a minotaurs look, I guess?) So far he looks back up to leadbelcher in terms of brightness and a tad more brown

I'm honestly just using old marines to try and learn techniques

Build up your layers until each colour is solid and unblemished. Get rid of your mould lines. Work some dark colours that aren't metals into the model to break up the bright colours and make them pop more.

>>48044342
I think the mega armour needs a secondary colour, it has too much yellow.

>>48044426
The loincloth is yellow just really terrible angle to show it off, and the model will be getting a healthy dosage of either blue or green spirits to fit a theme I want to try. But in the meantime maybe I should brighten up some bits. As for the lines I assume you mean the shoulders? if so his chest and back are two seperate pieces that arent glued together yet theres a gap due to this ill comb back over to see if theres others I missed.

Genestealers, as their name implies, steal genes. That's why the ones from Ymgarl (pic related) look like giant leeches with legs. Who's to say that particular colouration is not the result of exposure to whatever they're mining on Ghosar Quintus?

They are, from left to right:

To answer your questions try using a heavier black wash and then mixing whatever base paint you have with silver, and then going over all the lines one more time.

>What artistic medium is a good substitute to practice model painting?

Honestly, I don't think there is one.

>In addition to pen and paper, I have access to a tablet and some acrylic paint.

What *kind* of acrylic paint, anon? The kind that are best for 28mm-scale models are made to scale down well if you use them right. The kind you get from art supply and craft stores - even *real* art supply stores that sell the "good stuff" - does not scale well to something that puts "man-sized" at about an inch-and-a-half tall.

For a similar reason, model railroaders who crave realism don't use real water to represent bodies of water at HO scale; it doesn't look like water! They instead use wax, plastic, or resin.

>I heard someone recommend adult coloring books, but I wanted to get /wip/'s advice before deciding to invest fully in the hobby.

Shilling aside, if you're willing to pay MSRP, Games Workshop sells a kit with three multi-part Space Marines and enough paints to paint them to a good tabletop standard for $33US. I wouldn't mind having those models in my collection, and I already own hundreds of Space Marines!

Really, though... does your city/town/village/hamlet have a local game store where miniatures games (regardless of genre) are bought/sold/played? Start there. Even single-employee-manned Games Workshops/Warhammer stores may be willing to teach you some of the basics; it's an investment for them, and a learning opportunity for you.

B. Compare the Cadillac V-150 to the Cadillac LAV-300.
The 150 mounts a 20mm cannon at most, while the 300 mounts a 90mm. What you've got looks more like the former of those two loadouts, so there's no reason it'd weigh enough to require a 6x6 chassis.

Came across this which explicitly states is not suitable for "hard things". Do you think it can drill citadel's tin alloy?

Space Crusade was never released in the US. I got my hands on a few of the marines second-hand, and since I could never really use them for much, gave them to my son. I would love to have the entire game and those awesome Chaos Dreadnoughts!

I have plenty of the weird proto-40K weapon options for them; not just bolt guns, but assault cannons, missile launchers, fusion guns, lascannons, and conversion beamers. I'm thinking some of those would look great on some more modern Mk VII models.

Considering you made his whole body blue, that might be kinda hard. Still, against a sea of dark red ladz, he should stand out. Might I suggest you paint both shoulder pauldrons that off-white colour da uvva squadboyz use on theirs, and apply a chapter icon to his left pauldron?

Also, a suitable back banner, or maybe a giant book displaying the chapter's symbol... that's just the kind of over-the-top ridiculousness that WH40K is famous for!

Sorry, >>48046982, this is not a model that I own, but a quick Google search reveals that the left pauldron is emblazoned with the Crux Terminatus. It seems like it would be a waste to scrape that off for the sake of adding a chapter symbol. Besides, terminators normally display the chapter symbol on the right pauldron anyway; maybe you could do something Blood Raven-ish with it?

If not, there are always back banners!

Getting back into painting again from a years break and painted up a test model for a Sons of Horus army.

Not happy with it, kind of feels bland and boring to me.
I'm thinking of just making the shading darker and the highlights brighter.

If that won't work I guess I could do a more dramatic transition between the Lupercal Green and the Sons of Horus Green zenithal highlights.

Any thoughts or tips?

Yeah, somehow some dust got into the box when I primed him, didn't really care as he's just a test model.

The eyes were painted White Scar -> Trollslayer Orange -> washed Reikland Fleshshade -> Yriel Yellow line in the middle of the lens -> another smaller line of White Scar.

>>48052037
I would think painting them on sticks doesn't help you, as any minor movement of your hands/fingers will result in a large movement of the object being painted. How about using a wine bottle cork? You'll just have to reposition the packs a couple times.

Now that I'm trying to hit all the details I've mostly just been working with them laying down like that. But I do have corks to put the sticks in, and did have them standing up when they were getting full base coats.

Right now I want to hit all the little details all over the unit, then do a wash off most of the surfaces and then highlight. It may take a long time at this rate though

Newbie here, I have a few questions.

1. For my first Warhammer 40k model how is it?

And
3. The lettering on the right side, I'd like to have it be white slate with black lettering, how do I manage this?

>>48038533

Those are some nasty mold lines, anon. And you're absolutely not finished painting those either.
Pick out some details.
Come on, anon. They show potential. Don't be so lazy, put some damn effort in!

>>48052605
>For my first Warhammer 40k model how is it?
That's a really nice flat yellow you got there, good job. To add depth to it easily you can take agrax earthshade and paint a thin line of it into the recesses such as the borders of the rectangles and the toe segments.

Other than that, you've went out of the lines a little, make sure to tidy that up as I swear the human eye is designed to instantly notice mistakes like that. I think the purple could do with another thin coat over it as well.

>How do I get the small details while not having the paint run
Put less paint on your brush for small details, and your paint shouldn't be thin enough to run out of your control.

>The lettering on the right side, I'd like to have it be white slate with black lettering, how do I manage this?
Like I suggested with the agrax shade, but with nuln oil instead. Build up a strong white colour through multiple thin coats then take a small brush and a tiny bit of the shade and drop it into the lettering. It should flow through the magic of capillary action.

Does anyone know the height, width, and length exactly of the citadel crusade carry case. I'm poking around for cases of equal size i can fill with the plucking foam. I'm really new, but I figure I'll be needing the storage space eventually with a full army
I was just going to use a number of gun cases i have around, but it'd be easier to just put it all in one box.

>>48052605

Yellow is widely considered to be one of the most difficult colors to work with, so good job making it appear even and smoove.

To get white/black effect, I would recommend building up white from gray, then applying a black wash to the lettering

Good luck. Expect to suck dick for a lot of models, but trust me when I say that every model gets more and more satisfying.

Glowing Necron guts, yay or nay?

I have my Warriors painted up, but last night mused with the idea of making their ribs and eyes glow.

I still had my 3 test models and gave it ago

All 3 of them had their inner chests painted warpstone glow and the one in the center had a further highlight of moot green, although I fucked that up as I was painting in low light and didn't mean to get so much paint in his eye sockets.

Basically it means going from whats on the left to something similar as on the right

shit that's a pretty good idea, shaping/filing down pieces of bismuth to replace certain panels on rhinos, pieces of daemon prince armor, etc might be awesome

They have nanotech, living metal, control gravity and can snuff out suns for shits and giggles, I doubt they use grease and even if they did, it wouldn't make sense to have dirt on the moving part. Around it, sure.

Yeah, those are the Space Crusade Chaos Marines. Think I need to paint mine up after seeing those. I've painted the Orks, the Dreadnought.... actually... most of the Alien stuff is done. Might try getting Forge-World stuff for the marines though. The Original sculpts are a bit... squashed.

>>48046898
I think it might have been... though I could be wrong. Certainly the US got a ton of HeroQuest stuff that we never got... which is now worth many $$$$.

>I think it might have been... though I could be wrong.

The only ones I've ever seen here were brought back from the UK by ex-pats or purchased from the UK at great expense. What we *did* get was *Advanced* Space Crusade, which pitted the old mohawk scouts against those gangly First Edition Tyranid Warriors... but that game was just a pathetic shadow of the original.

>>48055596
I use 14 different paints/shades on my warriors.

That's without the base. The drying time alone between colors is 140 minutes, further time between layers of the same color, then time spent cleaning up and doing detail work like the eyes, the chest symbol, and freehand strips on the shoulders and forehead, plus edge highlight and drybrush where appropriate.

I crank out a squad in about a week working on/off when I can.

nigger, what

>>48057316
You should be fine unless you work a lot with the stuff. Just read up on it before starting.

>>48057376
You dont allow your paint to dry for a good ten minutes between colors? Less is fine for coats of the same color, but when I switch I let it dry for a bit longer.

>>48056983
It gathers in these parts, gets stuck there.

>>48057397
If I'm applying to the same area I give it 15 minutes to dry, often I'll put a couple colors scattered around at the same time.

But 140 fucking minutes? You let them sit for over two hours?

>>48057410
>But 140 fucking minutes? You let them sit for over two hours?
lol no, i meant ten minutes for each color, 14 colors altogether.

>>48057410
I think he meant cumulative, over the course of a project.

How deep am I meant to drill barrels? It's my first time doing it and I've just fucked up two bolters trying to do it

>>48057427
Enough to be able to get some shade in there to add depth. A few millimeters should be fine.

>>48057451
Looks like I went too deep then. I started out using the wrong sized drrill bit as well, so I don't think that helped.

Fucked them both on the same bike as well :(

Think I'll drill some more craters along the the front of the bike and make it look like the rider drove into a hail of bullets

>>48057527
You could always use it as an opportunity to try out greenstuff. I guarantee you that you'll be able to make it look as good as new with minimal time and practice. You can even drill the green stuff afterwards and get the same effect you were going for.

>>48057553
Think I'll pick up some greenstuff and get to work with that then, cheers for the help

>>48038548
All dat PE. I wish you luck. Good to see a fellow scale modeller.

At this scale, for regular run-of-da-mill bolt guns, that's usually good enough. I think it's neat, though, when you drill the barrel deep enough and them come cross-ways through the ports on the sides of the muzzle to make it completely hollow.

This is difficult and unnecessary on little fingz like Godwyn-pattern bolt guns (and a good way to ruin them if yer not careful!), but looks pretty cool on heavy bolters.

Found more bits, added this little guy before bed last night.

Going to work on it more tonight, radio antenna for sure and maybe hoses/tubing

>>48057912
Not sure I'm a fan of that addition. It spoils the shape of the model, rather than it being a menacing curve forwards it now looks unfocussed.

>>48057912
Sorry for the sideways pic
Rotating it made the file too large

>>48057935
I feel the same, wanted to make sure that it wasn't just me.

>>48057418
I think that's what people are so baffled with, since you said "between colors", so it sounds like 140 minutes to dry per colour.

>>48058043
lol, that would make painting a squad of warriors a month-long ordeal. I have enough problems gathering up motivation to paint them as it is.

>>48057404

Have you ever seen a piston or a joint? That's just not how it works

Any reccomendations other than Reaper for generic fantasy models?

So scale that shit down while you're at it. Hell, you should do that anyway. It'd be a huge pic even if nice and sharp, but most of it is blur and noise.

Also got these both off ebay for about £15 together.
They are now stripping in brake fluid. Will post after result tomorrow.

Looks like the thick one was Red, then Blue before Black. About 3 mm of paint thickness.
Cut off all the details like the scroll and Aquila.

>generic fantasy
>no otherworld miniatures
my friend pls
Also westwind has more or less generic dwarfs, high/dark elves and humans. Brigade games have celtos stuff, which is really oldschool and less generic, except for the undead.
Might also add warhansa, sgt major miniatures, thebattleforge and the assault group.

>>48059398
also darkswordminiatures, if you aren't looking for whole armies, but groups of adventures (and the best owlbear model out there).

>>48057910

>This is difficult and unnecessary on little fingz like Godwyn-pattern bolt guns (and a good way to ruin them if yer not careful!), but looks pretty cool on heavy bolters

It's piss easy on normal bolters, providing you don't have parkinson's.

>>48057427

Use a pin (or the tip of a scalpel, or something similarly sharp) to center the hole before you drill. Perfect barrels, every time.

>>48058450

>>48059080
What are you using for the base?

>>48059603
In my much younger years I mucked up a fair few bolter barrels. Is it possible to greenstuff it and drill that or is it too soft?

>>48059105
The poor machine spirit.

Also that hunter killer missile is backwards isn't it.

>>48060025
I would use plastic tube the same diameter as the barrel an just drill the muzzle break holes. It would be stronger and easier.
