BTW the base of the mumak... is simply gorgeous...

I just picked up a Kill-Team box. I'm doing my Marines up as my custom chapter (brass and Castellan green), but I'm tossing up a couple options for Tau.

>Khorne Red/Evil Suns Scarlet?
>Castellan Green/Zandri Dust?
>Stegadon Scale "Green" (it's fucking blue)/Fenrisian Grey?
>Attempt to salvage my various pots of white and put them to use, with accenting from one of the above?

I'd like to work with the paints I already have, ideally.

>>49557676

My first tau army was white armour with red jumpsuits.

I ended up switching to silver armour and blue jumpsuits when I realized I had made a squad of rebel starfighter pilots.

>tfw invariably fuck up transfers

Why is something that, at first glance, would seem to be the easiest aspect of modelling so fucking hard?

>>49557862

I just recently printed my own, had to pick up special paper and everything.

You better believe I spent two hours trying to test it out on regular paper to make sure I didn't end up making them useless blue blocks.

Thankfully they turned out pretty good, except I will have to underpaint the model where I apply them since the printer doesn't print white.

How much do you guys thin your paints to? do you add water to the pot, or dab the brush in water before dipping your brush on a palette?

I honestly tried thinning paints..but it just runs everywhere on the model, and it's hard as fuck to control where it goes.. I don't get the whole "MUST THIN YOUR PAINTS" meme.

Tried to make the building look like it had been flooded

>>49557975
What's the material intended to be? Concrete stains brown from flooding. (Source: Frequent flooding in wooded valleys.) Metal... would rust or oxidize, so *also* brown for most silvery metals.

Dunno what advice to give you for it. It looks like you did your flooding effect before you actually painted the walls that're being flooded, so the coloration may be completely wrong or completely right.

>>49558000
its grey concrete. The picture is kind of washed out but theres some drybrushing and details picked out on the building

>>49557959
just add some water to your pot, about 25% of the pain should be water.

Just to make sure I'm going to do this right.
First remove model from sprue, then remove flash, clean any residue off, then spray with primer once that dries you do the base coat then the details and then use a wash and finally dry brush the highlights?
I'm getting my first set tomorrow and don't want to screw up. I'm getting some cheapo Walmart paint and some reaper minis

Question, can you just spray primer over top of base paint? Or is it mandatory you strip the paint first?

Which tools should I get to use Green Stuff properly.

Went ahead and illustrated the three schemes mentioned. Opinions? I'm leaning toward the red scheme seeing it all together.

Not sure if it would be better here or in the Age of Sigmar ib4 Age of Smegmar general, but I'm looking at the Celestial Vindicators scheme for Stormcast Eternals, and the book has them washed with Coelia Greenshade, while the WHTV video uses Nuln Oil. If anyone's done up some CVs, which did you end up using, and how did it turn out? Also, did you bother with the blue undercoat before the Sotek Green, or was it just right over whatever primer you had?

>>49557917
There is white backed transfer paper, could have saved you some time.

>>49558162
You can, but the primer will bond better to the naked material than the paint does. Also, you may end up obscuring details.

>>49558477
I reprimed my figure to black (which I already had primed to a flesh tone cause I had another colour scheme in mind for them) and it actually came out better. I think the new layer filled in any imperfections but didn't lose any of the detail to the model.

As well I just finished the jump pack for my Astorath, may as well get some feedback.

How do you guys prime your Marines? I popped the guns off their sprues already, but they're not attached; backpacks and pauldrons are still on the sprue. Legs, arms, and heads are already attached, and they're based (I really don't like working with the whole "drill a hole and use a paperclip" deal, not to mention I don't have a pin vise drill). What's the best way to go about priming these with spray? Odds are I'll blow the guns all over the place with the spray can if they're loose, and I don't need nearly all of the sprue primed right now (plus it'll be unprimed in the areas I have to cut the sprues off/smooth it down).

I'm quite satisfied how he turned out. Especially with shoulderpads and choppa.

>>49558176
Clay sculpting tools. The metal ones work fine but the silicon tipped ones are even better. Always keep your tools and the green stuff itself wet.

>>49557302
If only you put some depth into it instead of using a crap dry brush technique where you have missed whole hunks. The same with the mumakil. Obviously sped through with no real care, it should be a crime in a mini that detailed, and definatly a faux pas to keep posting it on Wip as if you have finished and no ones told you what a shitty job you have done

Replied to you in the other thread, but i don't know which one will pull through, so: Blue because it's easier to make blue look good.

Another angle

File: rifle4.jpg (40KB, 405x720px) Image search: [Google]

40KB, 405x720px

AMR-anon here, the original version built off a Reaper Autocannon looked awesome but was far too big for even a Marine to reasonably carry with their stumpy range of arm poses, so I got hacking with my razor saw and substituted a Heavy Bolter reciever. It's still huge but more reasonable.

Design-wise, it's a heavy AMR and thus has no foregrip like you'd expect on a conventional sniper rifle because even a Marine can't properly shoulder this rifle and it's intended to be fired from the bipod at all times. Being a Chaos Marine he doesn't give much of a fuck about procedure and is inappropriately holding the weapon half-shouldered by the barrel instead of the dedicated carry handle because it's quicker to deploy this way. That's my logic to get around modelling limitations. Thoughts?

>>49561189
Mh, i'm split on this one. For one the conversion is top notch and the gun looks great. For the other, it's just a *tad* too massive and big for the marine. Reminds me of certain anime where the protagonist slings around weapons that are big enough to topple buildings. If that's what you like, go for it.

>>49561189
It's well done, that's for sure. But it just looks too comical, even for 40k. Not to mention you could probably never bring that anywhere to play the game with it. But if you just want to keep it around at home, I say keep going for it. It looks nice, just not something I'd do personally.

>>49561207
I agree, and I'd LOVE to be able to shrink it by like 10-15%, more than anything so I can get the marine to hold it by something more sensible than the barrel. The original was beyond silly though. That said, you look at shit like pic related and the PTRD-41, and consider this is supposed to be an Autocannon, the main gun on a Predator, and maybe it's better it's a little huge.

>>49561240
>Not to mention you could probably never bring that anywhere to play the game with it.
It's an Autocannon. Chaos gets -some- nice toys.

>>49561298
Agreed, the belt feed fits the Chaos aesthetic but I'm considering scratchbuilding a fat fuck BAR magazine.

I'm in a bit of a pickle and hope that you guys can help.

I tried posing one of my figures with its arm raised and intended to let the gluevdry over night but the arm apparently somehow lost hold and slipped out of place and is now glued on extremely awkwardly.

Is there a save way to dissolve that glue without damaging the model? The figure isn't painted yet, so no worries about paint. It's a regular SM Captain made of plastic and I'm using Revell glue.

>>49557094
Holy shit, this is a thing of beauty.

>>49559380

Not the guy you are replying to but you are exactly what puts people off posting in wip.

>definatly a faux pas to keep posting it on Wip

Yea holy shit, its definitely a retarded move to post your work in progress models in the work in progress thread, what a fucking moron, i wonder where he got such a spastic idea from.

>>49557959
Take some paint from the pot with your brush and put it on your palette.

Then, get some water on your brush, and mix that in with the paint on the palette.
It should be the consistency of milk. If it is to runny, then it is to thin.

Don't put water in the actual pot, you need to know what your doing to get the mix right if you are doing it like that.

>>49561407
You missed the point, the continuing on, ignoring what people have already suggested he do to clean it up is the annoying thing. Yes, that's it, ask what people think, receive suggestions, then ignore them! That's the shittiest type of person I can think of!

I'm not that guy either, but i'm perfectly okay with seeing less paint gore in this thread. And i really don't care if we have to get rid of a few scrubs to archieve that. This isn't a hugbox. If they want people to lie to their face, then they can fuck off to reddit for all i care.

you can criticize a work without doing it in such a way that makes it look like your primary goal is to hurt the guys feelings. instead of just telling the guy you didnt like his paintjob, tell him how you think he could have done it better.

If it melts plastic together there's a chance a bit of force can remove it still, you'll get a lot of strings and have to clean up the torso once it's dried but I've salvaged late night bad-ideas the next morning this way.

If it just sticks the pieces together with a glue layer in between you can try jimmying it with your hobby knife and slicing though.

If worst comes to worst you'll have to sacrifice the whole arm to the ravenous clipper god.

It's been Online Exclusive for a long time. Don't quote me on this but since it's an old-ass kit it might get updated along the lines of the Hydra/Wyvern dual kits and include parts for a Medusa.

Don't do this or you'll come running back wondering why your paints are fucked. Use a wet palette (google it, it's not difficult to make), get your paint on that and thin with water to find the sweet spot where it both covers and flows well.

>>49558423
No one gives a fuck about precisely which colours you use to achieve a scheme. If it looks good to you, run with it. Try out a bunch of variants and see how they look IRL.

For the benefit of the anon who asked in the previous thread regarding the sword:

>>49550860

The sword I got I commissioned from Cosplay-Shops for entirely too much money because I had no other options at the time. Its 4 1/2 feet long and mostly fiberglass. Its pretty cool overall, but while it looks detailed from afar the closer I get to it the less happy I am with the detailing on the guard, since the fact that it is all done in plastic tubing makes it look too much like an obvious prop for my tastes. That's the part that I am hoping to fix by filling in some gaps for more solid shapes and variety instead of squiggly tubes.

If you really want an Artorias sword, try Etsy. There is a guy making Artorias's sword on there for less than half what I paid for mine out of wood and 6 feet long. I probably would have bought from him if it wasn't for the fact that he didn't start selling until over a month after I placed my commission with CS. Probably a better deal, though so far all he has is work in progress photos.

Sorry for the interruption, everyone else. I just felt I owed him that information.

>>49562260
Yup. It is. The final highlights were by hand. Other than the base colour of Vallejo Model Air Mahogany, the colours used were from the Scale 75 Fantasy&Game red/orange/yellow set.

I really want my soldiers to have a golden skintone.

What colours should I use?

>>49562415

Swords aren't cheap. $100 wall hangers literally fall apart when swung. Quality swords can be had for $250-500 but they will be plain and tend to be arming or long swords. A good sword is minimum $850 or $1000 USD with the ones you would trust your life with are $1250 to $1500. And these are for 4 foot long swords.

The large Japanese style weapons and giant zweihanders don't necessarily cost more due to size, but you will have to pay the same premium price for reduction in weight. A $300 great sword weighs 15 pounds and is unusable in actual combat. The same sword made by a real swordsmith costs $750 and weighs 5 pounds.

So don't be surprised if a mere cosplay stick costs a lot, because the shape and fitment of the parts have to be made from hand, from scratch. That's what you're paying for, even if the fit and finish isn't too good. Remember this shit is smelted out of metal. Of course a wood carving will be cheaper and easier.

>>49562602
You could try blending flesh tones with gold pigment, or a very very thin coat/drybrush of gold so that the skin tone sort of 'shines' through.

I did this Salamander the other day.

Its just light brown basecoat, brown wash, light brown highlights.

Instead of washing with brown, wash with a yellow-brown wash like Seraphim Sepia, or AP Soft Tone.

Or experiment with yellow wash and brown wash mixed together.

Here's my progress so far on General Sorin (for Star Wars Imperial Assault). I have a little bit of touching up to do, then some details, then washes, then more details. I would like to do the eyes, but I really don't think I have a steady enough hand to try.

He should be done very soon, maybe even in time for our campaign session on Sunday. Then I'll be able to dive into another project. Thanks to a wonderful, warm, dry, still day on Monday, I have 20-some figures primed and ready to paint. I think I'll do Han Solo or the Royal Guard Champion next.

So just trying to clean up Astorath now but I am really conflicted on his face. I thought his expression would be cool to make into a mask but I have no clue if that shade of red makes it look good or if I should go with gold. Or if I should just scrap the idea all together.

I can only hope you will paint them accordingly, because the conversions are just great.

Where did you get the front plate for the rhino on the right? And the tank tracks?

>>49566830
Would look better if they were bat wings. I have no clue where you would find something like that though.

Beautiful bro. Make sure to give us pics of the finished version

>>49566769
The colour certainly doesn't help. But honestly, Astoroth's face is so badly sculpted that it hardly even looks human. If it would be up to me, i would just switch the head alltogether. His expression doesn't work at all with his pose and the combination of face, pose and armour just make him look like a very edgy goth on his first larp. I don't have any other quality advice on how to fix it, sorry.

>>49566855
Front plate is the inside of a FW chaos landraider door. As far as i know all of them have the same plate on the inside.

Tracks are made by blood and skulls industry and can be bought on ebay.

>>49566263
looks like chocolate icing on the bases.

>>49567257

It might be a little late now but with all that red and black already on the model a white mask might give an interesting contrast. The same hue of red as the armour might make it all blur together.

>>49568094
Was considering white hair/grey hair.

Got my board more or less finished up

Just got to get a vindicare and Snikrot painted up.

The vindicare will be in the red oval pointing his rifle at the warboss, and snikrot will be behind him in the green oval

>>49568128
Not a bad idea, you can give the mask pretty stark highlights too to make it stand out.

>>49564743
Really nice, crisp and clean.

>>49568181
Hmm, will try Ironbreaker ith a lil Evil Sunz Scarlet to layer on the mask and see where that takes me. Or I just use Gehenna's Gold.
Ran into a snag though, glued the model to the jump pack and it turns out the nickle I used to weight the base was not enough. Shoved a few cut outs from washers into the terrain and glued a washer on the base just to add more weight, now I have to wait a few hours for the glue to dry.

So Astorath has been eating too many muffins and became too heavy for his base. So now I have to redo the entire base and weigh it down heavy enough so it doesn't tip. Did a base coat of grey for his hair which I was planning on making white, though now I am conflicted if it would look good, opinions?

Hey guys, there is a local Painting contest 'round where I live. The Halloween theme this year is "Eldritch horror" I could do any model but it will have points against it if it's not in theme, and will not be accepted if there is not at least one tentacle on the figure or in the scenic base. Any suggestions for miniatures?

Not any of those anons who posted.

Your Mumakil looks nice and you should be proud of it, having said that though the way you went about presenting it was pretty obnoxious. That's not a crime really but remember you are on a site famous for it's autistic shut ins.

Some people here don't like it when others "show off" (which is retarded because this is a wip thread). Keep posting your work, however my advice is only post pics if you are looking for advice on what to do with a project and when posting finished work take multiple pictures and fit it together in all one image using any art program. This is just to make it look like a "portfolio."

Now you don't have to do any of this, actually you can just keep doing what you are doing, idgaf. This is just how personally try to conduct my sharing here because it keeps the hordes of autismos at bay.

>>49572681

I wasn't trashing your painting at all. I think the elephant looks great and I was surprised by the amount of progress you had on it through the course of one thread. Namefagging is annoying though.
The other guy is being a dick about it, but it does kinda seem like you were ignoring others' advice on it.

Here's the trick to taking criticism in these threads: Imagine the person speaking is doing so in a town that suggests they have at least 3 fewer black cocks shoved into their various bodily cavities and that's a more accurate representation of what's actually being said.

It's the internet. Can't be thin skinned.

Oh, it's the same shit every thread. There are trolls a plenty on 4chan. There is literally nothing you can do, that people won't hate. Some anons dislike seeing the same model twice. Some anons expect you to follow their advice, once given, to the letter - or else! Some anons only want to see 10/10 cmon stuff in here and only 10/10 cmon stuff. Some anons just want everything to be nice and quite. Some anons want to literally rape you, every time you post something that doesn't fit their mile high standarts, because, you know, telling you to kill yourself improves your work, right? Some anons will hate you for using non-GW parts, some anons will hate you for recasting, some anons will hate you for airbrushing...

Look, it really doesn't matter. I myself don't mind seeing a painted mini a couple of times. I come here to see work logs, not to be a dick and be proud about it.

Good work on the metal, could maybe use a bit of shine somewhere tho, so they look like shitty metal, instead of looking orange.

>>49575279
I've done something similar to my orks aswell. Try diffrent yellow tones and washes (biel-tan and camoshade) to add some variation. Overall very promising ladz.

>>49575641
Don't worry, the turquoise parts will be copper and the orange iron.
The skin could also use another wash to darken it somewhat.

>>49575846
I'd rather a consistent tone, this is just supposed to be a quick and dirty paint job. I'll use a lighter shade for my gretchen though.

>>49562983

>>49572681
Hnnngh.

Fine. Paint your string.
You have real string on a plastic model it just makes the model look worse.
You've got to either paint it, or better yet dip it in PVC until it's shiny and stiff, and then paint it.

Hopefully that'll also fix the issue with some of the strings being too loose. It looks like a cat hocked up a furball all over your howdah.

See? We can be constructive. Go thin your fucking paints.

I think it's chocolate frosting.

>>49576140
So what made you decide on the autumn theme?

>>49576199
I think just that a lot of the other models in the range I had painted using greens, purples, blues, and deep reds. And most people have painted this model with greenish armour. I really wanted to nail the NMM so the orange against the cold blue of the steel was best. Plus I was feeling seasonal :D

>>49562020

Use some Carroburg Crimson or a red wash of another sort for some variation of the skin tone (especially where it would be potentially inflamed around the metal that juts out of it, cabling entry points, etc). Maybe some mix with Druchi Violet for bruising.
Just a flat color with a dry brush looks too plain....

... as another anon already pointed out, those unfilled gaps are pretty bad.

>>49575961
Hnng. Dat rust.
I'll try something similar but I doubt I can pull that off.

>>49576014
For you.

>>49562020
Next time do a lot more dry fitting to see how much cleanup of the model you need to do. I suspect some of those gaps could have been dealt with by shaving off the plastic in places and using elastic bands to hold the pieces together while the polycement set. If you do all that at worst you would have just had to run some liquid green stuff around the seems and use a file.

>>49575961
That looks nice and crunchy and rusty.

>>49576249
I have heard (sic) that an unmixed or barely-mixed warplock bronze painted onto sand or stirland mud gives a good corroded coppoer.

Thanks. There are some problems with it though; Since I added so much extra custom modeling, it's quite top heavy, which makes it hard on the small contact areas at the base. And I had to build it completed in one piece, so it was a pain to paint. And it's really hard to transport, but that's a problem with all large monsters.
It was a lot of fun to make though, and I'd love to see other people's take on a conversion.

Update on my DKOK leman russ and killa kan, still laying in the base colors for the tank, killa kan is soon finished, needs more cleaning up and highlight. Ill ask this again in case i find some answers this time: anyone know where i could find 60-70mm round lip bases? For the killa kan and many others. I could only find 50mm or 80-120mm after extensive searching. Should i just model them myself in Blender and have them 3D printed? Thanks

>>49561189

>>49557959
To keep the paint from running all over have a paper towel handy and dab the brush on it a couple of times before you put it to the model. Having to much material in your brush is called "loading it". You really dont ever want to paint with a loaded brush. Thin the piss out of your paints, get rid of the excess and apply in multipe thin layers. You'll get a feel for what works best.

Okay first off that killa kan is beautiful.
Secondly, what the hell are you doing with round lip bases? They look terrible.

Personal bias aside I think if you check out Secret Weapon Miniatures and Dragonforge you might find a nonstandard size, because those two make their own generic bases as templates for their premodeled resin bases.

Failing that you could probably make them yourself by using a drill as a makeshift lathe.
Drill a hole into some 5mm - or however thick they should be - mdf and put a nut an bolt around that before putting it into a drill or rotary tool.

Thanks! have had plenty of fun with the kan, ordered a metallic OOP deff dread and anxious to get to painting it, will buy more killa kans later.

About the bases, I already am too far with basing some of my minis with round lip bases, so i think its too late now, but i understand your argument. Here is a wip of one of my death riders with a round lip base.

>>49578316
Oh and I think for me it would be easier just to 3D print them, i have no tools for such things and i have experience with 3D modelling. I have searched through all the sites you mentioned, only 60mm base i could find was a slate base full of shit i dont want.

>>49579249
Well, I look forward to the pics so you can join the collage. What chapter?

>>49579842
I feel like those cultists maybe paired with Skitarii coats could make pretty cool Delaque gangers for Necromunda. They have a lot of goggle heads, too.
Looking good there.

>>49579727
I'm impressed by the collections that I see on this board, but I can never understand how backlogs get so big. Did you buy all of these fuckers at a super obvious deal? That's a whole army of dudes. I might just be stupid but I don't buy any more models until I've finished painting all of the models I own.

Also, do you have pics of your Night Lords? I love me some batmen.

>>49579842
arent hey supposed to ship tomorrow?

they are indeed sexy, preordered them already.
will have so much fun with them.

If I may ask you kindly good sir, could you post a picture of the head choices please?

I'm not painting him, I just wanted to steal the mini away from someone else at a good price.

It's kinda late for the head choices sadly as I already assembled them and put the remaining bits in the bits box, there's pics of the sprues on the gw website

Building another hut, even if I have nobody to fucking play with.

>glue jams up
>primer spray fucks up because of weather

I think this box is conspiring to not get done in time for my next game. Any tips on superglue brands that don't require me to use a pair of wrenches to get the cap off after using it?

>>49581737

Superglue just does that once it's opened. Even if you don't use it, once it's exposed to air it will harden out over time. That's why I use small tubes of Bison, good enough for 15 minis. Bigger ones might cost less but I end up throwing away most of it.

>>49582163
Happen to have a specific one you usually use? Seems like there's a lot of options and all of them are pretty costly, but if it works, it works. Hopefully either locally stocked or Amazon available, I've got till next Saturday to get a kill-team together with an 80-hour+ work week.

>>49582211

I don't have my kit with me at the moment but it's just the Bison super glue repair kit I think. It comes with little 4ml tubes iirc.

I want to make waves of orange/brown transparent water (whiskey) on bases. How Could I achieve effect like that? I got myself drunkard crew for mallifaux and I want to make them look like they're standing on bamboo poles/barrels in pool of whiskey.

>>49582464
mixing inks with your water effect?

>>49582444
Pretty good. That weird base is really gonna get in the way if you ever try to play with him, though. The only way for him to get into base contact is by turning his back to the enemy.

>>49582444
I know he's supposed to have red muscles and black outlines, but damned if this doesn't fit the theme of Death Company so much better

>>49582404
Not seeing a listing anywhere, unfortunately.

Marine color scheme check. Castellan Green + Warplock Bronze won't look too horrific together, right? The kill-team I'm assembling/painting is a color scheme test for my eventual FW MkIII-armored army, and from the B&C army painter's looks, they should be fine. Just not sure if anyone's used the combination in the past.

>>49580348
Yeah, I got most of them in a single lump. I'm a recovering ebay addict, if that explains anything.
I don't have any good NL pics as of yet. I'm the guy from a few threads back who was stripping all the pewter Chaos Raptors. They'll get painted as soon as the new bases show up.
I've only just started on the non-jump troops today since my FW order of upgrade kits just came in.

The Valhallan pic was a whim. I wasn't sure how many I had. So I laid 'em all out, and began wondering who else has so much to finish.


But while we're on the topic of Night Lords, I've been looking at the ultramarines blue base coat spray from Army Painter. Does anyone know if it's dark enough to pull off midnight clad?

Actually, screw it. Here are my Night Lords to be.
Not shown are the Calth marines I'll be turning into Terror Squads and such.

The bag is a Sicaran and the miscellaneous resin bits up top combine to form a primarch.

Does anyone have the link that's usually in the OP on what to use when stripping?

What would I use when stripping resin? (US)

Anyone know any tips for cleaning up what seems to be pewter slag from a mini? I ordered some from Cadwallon, and one of them has a fuckload on the back. I've shaved some of it down from the back, but It's a slow going process.

with al the genestealer cult buzz goin on i realized that i never posted a groupshot of my cult

all mini's in the cult have been posted in some state on /wip before

This is probably an extremely dumb question, but is it possible to re-paint something, or will it come out worse-looking?

I found my set of ultrasmurfs and tyranids that I had painted when I was 9 years old, and to no suprise, they're awful. I did the basecoat properly on all of the units according to a few vids on YT, and did a half-decent job on some bolters, but everything else looks like a retard filling up a coloring book

Would I want to remove the paint with chemicals, or just simply paintover them?

not the best photo but heres what they look like now.
let em soak in the solution for 12-24 hours, then scrub em gently with a toothbrush. depending on how you primed them, if theyre primed at all, it should take the paint off to the plastic. just make sure you get a non-acetone cleaner as that shit will melt your models.

>>49586346
Did dettol for my Tau, too.
Only issue is that I underdid it a bit, ended up leaving a little bit of paint in the nooks and crannies.

Which wouldn't be a problem except it was bright orange.
I do not want to double-down these models, they already smell like a hospital.
