made a start on Zoraida for my malifaux stuff. skin on the face isn't quite done yet but should give a rough idea of the shade i'm going for.
I'm not really sure how i'll be painting the rest of the model yet, just sort of making it up as I go along.

Vallejo white primer is nuke proof.

I give you this warining, since 20 models are gone to shit due since I can't strip the paint out of them.

>>48201515
You mean you can't get it off at all or it just leaves behind a very slight layer?

>>48200635
Isn't it the Valkir and not the Stormtroopers that most people are using for conversions?

>>48201618
Can't get it off.

I have a shitton of the old style Lizardmen (that used to come in the starter box). They're really boring and all look the same.
Pic is what they all look like.

Anyone have any ideas of how I could give them some variety? Some ideas for using green stuff or maybe even affordable bits I could order?

Heavy trooper, Storm Trooper, and mono pose marine from black reach.

The problem with Storm troopers, is that 40k guns are way to huge for them. Heavy are too bulky for SoBs but easier to use 40k bits and guns (reason I'm using those)
Storm come with weapons, but look very tinny, the heavy come with heavier looking guns, that work on storm troopers.

Now I have 20 Heavy Troopers, that Vallejo white primer fuck me over.
10 Storm Trooper that will be "count as" for priest, and simulacras.

I was thinking of getting the Grishnak Battle Sisters when they come out, with RH Icariates as Seraphim and DF Valkir as Celestians (using the /tg/ fandex that makes them baby Terminators). I'm just worried that they won't look cohesive enough, even if I use the same heads across the army.

The Dark Vengeance 40k box they sell for cheap.. Are the space marines in it purely Dark Angel branded or can they safely be used for any other chapter (like my Ultramarines).

File off or cover over the winged sword emblems and they can be anything.

Had a thought about Sabbat helms. With a little trimming and greenstuff, I think Skiitari Vanguard heads could work.

>40k guns are way to huge
Would sculpting on sleeves help circumvent that? It could add more bulk and allow for some creative repositioning.

Teehee

Not too bad. Got to work on those mould lines and drill your barrels though.

Make a light box and use 2 lamps.

Hey, /wip/ I'm going to hobby lobby Monday, and was wondering what useful things I could get from there?

I'm 99% sure they'll have a drill bit small enough to drill barrels and to make holes to pin with, unsure if they'll have any sort of wires to pin with, and unsure if they'll have any "Good" brushes to use, not the $5 cheap packs.


Also, what paints should I use for a mud base and rocks? I know Stirland Mud for the texture paint, but I don't know what else. I'm going to be using small clipped off pieces of sprue as rocks on my bases and was thinking of using Celestra Grey with maybe Ulthuan grey or Pallid Wych Flesh as a small layer over them? Unsure really. I've also heard that drybrushing the Stirland Mud with Terminatus Stone is good, but I don't know about that either.

Weapon changes from the current or previous sets. Different shields.
Feathers and head dressed perhaps. Little bits of metal, learher and hide armour.

I actually think these guys are great lizardmen models. Just need a little variance.

Hard to tell with that shitty lighting, but it'd probably look a lot better if you made those big fucking lenses more glow-y. Or not blue.

Just started assembling the models in pic related. I've never done anything like this before, up until now the only thing I've done is paint Reaper minis. I can't imagine doing this ad nauseam for fuckhuge armies. I'm already discouraged and ready to quit with my lackluster fifteen soldiers.

Anyone seen or know any good conversions of this guy?

I'm tempted to get the new heroes pack but I'll never take a captain equipped like him.
Just the fact he's so uncustomizable is a big turn off, especially when you're paying so much for him.

Also, anyone know if I can attach a standard jump pack to the chaplain like normal? Footslogging chappies are useless to me and everyone else.

>>48204460
Sadly no, the left shoulder is locked in place and the gun is fused with the torso front, so it's really a lot of cutting for a small payoff.
Maybe you can shave off the gun and put in a left hand bolt pistol with the barrel pointing into the air, then do a simple head/arm swap after that.

>>48204404

>>48204460
I'd use for a vet serg. My armies vet sergeants are all old games day captains and shit like that though.

Pic related is what i consider the most annoying part; gluing sand onto the bases (and later painting it brown)

Assembling sure, but I find cleaning the mold lines to be the worst and most frustrating.

>>48204944
protipp: listen to a nice podcast or audiobook while doing it.

So I got some Vallejo air paint and the stuff is amazing, it just seems very easy to work with.

Can someone inform me what the difference is between the model, game and air paints in the range?

If there is no difference, i'm not gonna buy another citadel paint again.

>>48205479
model and game are about the same
there is model air too btw

air is pre-thinned (intended for airbrush as the name suggests) thats the difference.

model colors are more "realistic" colors for military kits mostly. greens, browns etc.

Please excuse the sub-par photos, I really can't into skills right now. But here's my Cadre Fireblade WIP. Since he's an infantry leader with a bulkier chestplate, I stuck a spare CSM torso front to a Necron Praetorian backpack with the bulbs removed. Details filed down and voila, a barrel-chestpiece with gorget and big cowboy beltbuckle to paint the Fire Caste symbol on. Then stuck an antenna on the back so the orb acts like a communications device.

Milliput work is not finished yet, not happy with how the chest looks.

>>48205515
Is there any reason against using the air stuff just for normal brush work? surely it being prethinned is a good thing?

>>48205538
relatively speaking it's a little more expensive (as it is pre-thinned, rather than you adding your own thinner), but other than that there are no significant downsides to using VMA over VMC or VGC.

For certain applications I can see VMA having a few downsides (drybrushing is trickier as the paint is so much thinner), and you'll have more control by thinning it yourself.

Other than that they are all good paints.

A fast painted miniature. Now I'll just add something to the base.

>>48205538
One important note, there is also Vallejo Game Air now, which is basically an Air variant of the brighter range of Game Colors.

Very useful for us Tabletop gamers that don't want to use realistic military colours exclusively.

>>48205538

I was just thinking that since the LotD automatically ignore cover when shooting that it might be beneficial to give them weapons that take advantage of that such as a graviton gun, plasma gun, or missile launcher - the kind of weapon that might already deny you an armour save. Now, with "Flaming Projectiles", you couldn't take a cover save, either!

>>48207295
Well, apart from the Sergeant taking a combi-grav, LotD can't take grav guns/cannons. But you're right about S7 Ap2 Ignores cover being pretty good against a lot of things.

So you can take a Heavy Flamer+Flamer+Combi-flamer, and abuse the fact of a Deep Striking Heavy Flamer, or abuse the slow and purposeful with Plasma Gun+Plasma Cannon+ Combi Plas or other weapon combos. Whatever you want really.

that is pretty great, love that game/character and a shame he doesn't get enough love. will always be a classic in my book.

since chaplains wear skull masks, it would be cool to make a chaplain version of sir daniel fortesque. sculpt his normal skull head, shape his power armor to be like his knight armor a bit, maybe make the handle of his sword have a crozius shape to count-as his crozius arcanum, slap on a backpack and you're good to go.

Excellent painting. My only suggestion would be to use less blue. You're using it for cloth, soft armor, and eye lenses. The eyes would be the easiest to change if you felt inclined.

depends on what you want to paint i guess.

>you'll need a bowl of water for cleaning off your brush, and a palette of some sort. consider a wet palette. USE THE WATER TO THIN. YOUR. PAINTS.

Once you get some experience on the basics, you can go as far into painting as you desire. Converting up your own unique dudes is a great part of the hobby and over the years you may end up with hobby saws, greenstuff, sculpting tools, an airbrush, etc. but for now this should be a good start and is perfectly fine for any army if you don't want to go further. A hobby drill ($7 on ebay) may be needed to drill the barrels of guns, and is needed for pinning. Pinning will save you lots of hassle.

I feel like I'm forgetting some essential materials needed so maybe somebody will help me out here, I'm tired.

On a serious and more fleshed out note, yeah it ain't perfect, and the eyes don't look quite as good as the second photo you posted, but having my own experiences of "huh these eyes don't look even lemme just fix this oops now there's a gins black blob," you did alright with what you've got. The white on his belt thing looks thick and chalky, and there's moldlines on his hand, but as far as I know it's Bones. But you're mostly staying in the lines, basic shading is done, could use some highlights, overall, tabletop quality.

Not quite sure if this is the right place to ask, but I'm looking to paint a mask (It's a bug head for a LARP) so that the surface looks like pic related. How would I:

Simulate that sort of dotted texture?

Do that sort of uneven painting of brown, where there's random bits of black it the brown parts?

Paint that graduation between brown and black?

Or is this too complex for a beginner to tackle?

>>48210767
fuck up your primer like I did. And you'll get that grainy texture.

>>48210767
>Dotted texture

Try stippling with liquid latex.

>Uneven painting & graduation

Drybrush brown, build up on the areas you want to be browner.

>too complex for a beginner

Maybe.

>>48209551

Thanks!

I tried to use the technique used here. I feather on the highlights and the use glazes to blend it into the base colour.

Here's me nob and an incoming boy
How'd I do?

>>48210767
If it's a mask that doesn't move check out your local artstore and hve a look at the medium section.
After you primed the maske you can use a medium to apply a texture (of course if you have the right size you can use sand in your paint too) then paint the whole thing the way you want it.
Say you mix some sand in a brown paint then take a black spray can add the gradients and the varnish the whole thing in gloss varnish.

Stippling paint or using a sponge for application will give you a similar texture, but since that is just paint it might not hold up as well to wear and tear you'd expect a mask to go through.

take 2 shades of the same colour or harmonious colours (e.g dark green and light green or green and yellow)
start with the darkest colour, thin it alot with CLEAN water and apply it to the largest area, use multiple layers if required but shouldnt be
add more of your lighter shade in as you go, reducing the area you apply the thin coat over
use a mixture thats mostly the lighter shade to highlight the edges as you see fit like in my picture on the rune and blade-guard
a wash can be applied to 'blend' the colours together

Yes, groups of 5 are good.
I am batch painting the 20 blue beastmen above, but it's subgroups of 5 at a time. 5 Ungors, 5 Gors, 5 Ungors, 5 Gors and then the Beastman Shaman to break it up a bit before going on to the next colour doing the same 4 groups of 5.

Looking oood! I was thinking about something like this earlier today.

If the Eldar can take Windrider Squads as Troops choices, make them objective secured, and then issue scatter lasers/shuriken cannons to every man-jack of them... why can't Space Marines takes squads of ten Space Marines heavy bolters, jump packs, and stabilizers (suspensors?) that grant the "Relentless" special rule as Troops choices for only +13 points per model.

>what counts as pro-mode basing?

More interesting bases use textured paint or medium, sand of various grit, chunks of slate, gravel, or cork, and different methods of attaching static grass. Then you have resin designs with various kinds of terrain (factory floors, spaceship hulls, ruined temples, etc.), volcanic bases that look like they have lava in between the cracks, and some with clear plastic or resin that look like water/slime/swamp.

There's almost as much to basing as there is to painting models. I've moved up a step from flock (painted sand plus static grass - pic related), but I really need to concentrate on making the models look nicer - and painting more of them!

>>48218816
So what you're saying is, buy some aquarium sand, glue it on, sculpt with texture paint, and apply bits of grass. That's doable.

Now can I get your two cents on the mini?

>So what you're saying is, buy some aquarium sand, glue it on, sculpt with texture paint, and apply bits of grass. That's doable.

Sand has a long and storied history in Warhammer 40,000, having rose to prominence during the Second Edition era when *everything* had bright red paint on it somewhere and all models - regardless of faction - were mounted on sand-covered slottabases painted Goblin Green (pic related). There are many and varied ways to get cheap sand that has differently-sized grains in the same package. One fellow here in WIP was using sand from a beach in Cuba - which I assume he scooped up with his hands for free!

Texture paint - if yer willin' ta pay GW's prices or experiment with crackle medium used by artsy folks - is a science unto itself. Martian Ironearth, if done properly, actually looks like the pictures of the Martian surface sent back by our rovers!

Static grass can be applied sloppily, like I did in >>48218816. It looks OK when the model's down there on the tabletop, but up close, doesn't look much better than flock. You can also buy pre-made "tufts" of static grass that look like... well, tufts of grass. Additionally, there are expensive machines that deposit static grass in an orderly fashion and make the fibers stand up using an electric current. Micro-Mark sells one such machine that is a favourite with model railroaders.

>Now can I get your two cents on the mini?

What scale is >>48215085? Is he for Frostgrave? There are a lot of fantasy miniatures out there, and I my knowledge is primarily concerns Space Marines.

I like the armour, the flesh, and the hair, but I'm not sure what's going on with the sword (can't really see it well enough in the photo), the banner, or the shield. The back of yer lad's robes could really do with some highlights on the raised areas.

on the topic of scenic bases, the lazy mans option is you can go to hobbystores and buy a shitton of different types of resin scultped detail bases. this can, however, get expensive for horde armies, but theyre nice for single models. pictured here for the krieg team

So many options.

>>48219748
Is it just the angle of the shot or is the bottom piece as flat as the top one?

>>48220002
It's just the angle.

On a side note, I find that I much prefer doing the Leman Russ over the Guardsmen and the Commissar. I also feel that I'm going to have more fun painting the Russ over any of the others.

>>48219843
>>48219957
Aaaaaand thought I had another image with options, but not finding it. Other methods include: crushed glass, PVA and baking soda, mixing with water effects... One of the things to consider is what kinda show do you want? Fresh powder? Dirty battlefield slush? Hard-packed and ice-like?

>>48220020

>>48220089
Oh, I know. Going to do the guardsmen first, then the Russ, then the Commissar.

Still need to order Stirland Mud and the colors I need for the Commissar.

And I need new brushes as well. Anyone know of what I can get and what to use/do to keep them clean? Going to Hobby Lobby tomorrow, and I've also heard that Winsor and Newton is goood as well. Going to need a drybrush and some smaller brushes for the guardsmen/details on the Russ.

Finished the muscle definition work on all 20 + Champion and have finished the first layer of highlighting (xv-88) on the leather, horns, claws, and hooves on all 20.
Time for bed and then fine Bleached Bone highlighting over the xv-88. After that I will start on the reds (Mephiston Red then Wazdakka Red).

No that honestly doesn't seem bad, make sure you shake it excessively and check the range at which you're spraying from?

That or try a different brand. Good luck getting that paint off btw. Army painter spray you might need to get some Super Clean for.

>>48220774
as long as I can get the crummy grainy bits that'll be fine. HOPEFULLY I'll be able to prime over it and have it look better.

I got 3 regulars, 3 vanquishers, 2 demolishers, and I used Russ hulls for my Hydras and Manticores. My CSM got a pair of Russ Annihilators as predators (in the old days they could get +1 AV, so basically having Russ armour), and I'm making two old style Exterminators for my 30k SW as predators if they don't get Exterminators.

So that's like 16 Russes. Also working on Militia, though I might go with Malcadors for them. Made from Russes.

You got yourself quite a nice "cartoonish" effect going on. Working on stark contrasts rather than subtle blends. And you have done a good job with it as well. But as other anons have already pointed out, you really need to work on the face. What kills it for me is the darkness around the eyes, its TO dark , and it looks as if he has a unibrow, don't paint brows at all is my tip.
Also, Id suggest to paint the slot in the scabbard, and do some more extreme highlights on the cloak.

Alright, just about finished. Just need to do the tracks and clean it up a bit, and it'll be ready to be painted once I have some new brushes.

Also, how do I do/paint the tracks?
Also, how do I prime this/vehicles?

Trust me on this one.

>>48221979
> I prime this/vehicles?

like you prime miniatures too? Spraycan or Airbrush.

>Also, how do I do/paint the tracks?

Primer (black), mixture of rust color and gun metal (depending on your preference).
After that, apply technical (textured) paint and pigments.

>>48222006
>like you prime miniatures too? Spraycan or Airbrush.
Well yeah, I suppose. Meant sort of like how'd I get good coverage all over it? Aren't you supposed to not touch the primer before it dries?

>Primer (black), mixture of rust color and gun metal (depending on your preference).

That looks amazing anon. AdMech is going to get some of their 30k Mechanicus stuff in the next IA book, which is cool.

Put your tank on a piece of cardboard so you don't have to hold it in your hands. Spray the first side, turn around the piece of cardboard or simply walk to the other side.

>>48222081
Y'know, I kind of feel stupid now.

>>48221905

Well theres no secret on who the majority of fans are of the series.
After returning from E3 with a bundle of awards in their pocket (some being, editors choice, best strategy, best of E3 and so forth), they get greeted with the bitter fans of Warhammer 40k.
And you can see this quite well on channels such as YouTube as well, "ordinary" videogame players comments tend to lean like "Oh, looks awesome!" "Cant wait to play this" and so on. But ever so often, the neckbeards from years of hatred on all things new from GW comes along to leave their stamp.

Its like the hipster of wargames transfer to videogames as well. "I cant like this, its to new" Just as a great many people in the miniature scene reacts on new releases "They don't make models like they used to do!", trying so very hard to play only retro models.

Personally I think it looks good. I don't mind the cartoonish look, but then again, I never had a problem with WoW or Warcraft/Starcraft. I like it that they are bringing back base-work from DoW 1, while at the same time keep the Heroes from DoW 2, these are the two aspects I really was hoping for.
And I accept the fact that this is a video game, and that DoW has always been groundbreaking in terms of fluff. So I don't really see a problem with jumping terminators, or Knights dropping from orbit, as long as it looks cool and fills a role in the game.
What I dislike though, is the fact that SEGA is in on this. And we have seen how they release stuff before. Within the first month we will have 20+ "new skins" to purchase for £1 or so. We will have "exclusive" teams released as part of a pre-order, we will see shit that obviously was already done for the finished game, but sold separately to earn more money (wargear, teams and so on)..

>>48222081
Oh, and is there a reason some people prefer to paint their tracks off of the tank/on the sprue?

File: prev41.jpg (43KB, 500x375px) Image search: [Google]

43KB, 500x375px

>>48222192
That depends on the tank kit.
Your tank has "open" track sections where each part of the track is reachable by a brush.
Other tanks like pic related have parts of the track hidden/under parts of the hull and it would look like shit if you assemble it completely before painting the upper section of the tracks.

>>48221990
Unless it comes to PC, I won't.

>>48220661
Those are worth a better inspection.
Now please put them down, find a good light source and take another pic, cause your work deserves a better shot mate.

Both look really good. Bloody well done. The simple helmet conversion for the termie is my favorite part.
IW or Blackshields? Since the colour scheme lakes me think of some art of the book 6.

It's just a 1 inch mini from Reaper for D&D and the robe actually was drybrushed with brown on the raised portions since I wanted it to be a matte black cloak, just that something like that gets washed out in a picture.

Unghhhh. With the comtemptor lack of dynamic pose withojt conversion, my only critic of BaC is that it lacked those helmets.

Anyone else have an issue with primer softening the details on a plastic model?

>>48223143
Either
>Use less primer
Thin coats, let them dry, don't let pooling happen

or

>Check your primer & plastic combo

It is possible that your primer could be eating the plastic, particularly on Bones material. Conventional wisdom is to test on a piece of sprue first.

>>48223234
I've used AP primer for years on all my GW stuff, never happened before, but yeah, it might be the thick layer not letting the chemicals evaporate and having them eat inwards.

At least i was nurgle models.

>>48223234
That would have to be a REALLY hot primer.
>>48223143
What brand did you use?

>>48221945
To me the legs seem odd. Not because they're badly painted, but because the colors in the torso stop completely at the hip on the right leg from this angle, and almost at the hip on the left leg. I think it would look better if the torso colors continued just a bit further down into the upper thighs to make all the limbs like they're part of the same creature. The hard demarcation seems more mechanical than organic. The paint work is fantastic, and I love the face. :)

>>48223366
Army Painter, never had issues before, though it did go on very thick.

>>48223395
Hmm, maybe you got a bad batch. it happens sometimes. Could be you didn't shake it enough, either; rule of thumb is get the can to room temperature (by warming it in water, if necessary), then shake like a mofo for 2 minutes.

>>48223488
Worked a charm on all the other models in the batch but my herald ended up with a melted face, still as said, it's nurgle so no big, just gotta be careful with other stuff.
