Sadly they're both for the left arm, is there any kit that includes a right handed one or do I've to make my own?

Update on my neophytes, thoughts? Not sure if I pulled off the hazard stripes on the guns. Also the basing I was going for a 'moonscape' type of base, is it working?

Does anybody know where one can buy a dragon mini from? Seem hard to find, GW's options are kinda lame.

>>49680804

Pretty damn near perfect, whats the basing?

>>49680809

Looks good so far

>>49680977

Just a tip, don't bother with the eyes. Stripes on the guns look fine, do not need stripes on the straps, not sure why magazines have a yellow base? I just assumed base was ruined city.

>>49680883

Why not just chop the power spear off below the block that determines if its a left or right arm and attach it to a right arm block after you removed the assault cannon or whatever?

>>49681078
As in don't bother with the pupils?

>>49681128

No, eyes in general, unless you have a surgeons hand, they can ruin a model.

If you watch / look at any GW guide, 8/10 they don't even bother with it

>>49681164
Note that it also depends on the scale of the model. 32mm models tend to have significantly larger heads, so eyes become more feasible. And if you try painting something like Super Dungeon Explore or Arcadia Quest then eyes become mandatory.

>>49680804

I particularly like that you gave them a variety of skintones, it looks so much better than when people make units of clones.

>>49680700
The vehicle is to long for my taste.
The BA-64 (tamiya 1:48, just like that sdkfz body) would work better i think.

Still a nice conversion.

So after collecting over 3000pts of Dark Angels I decided it was time to get troops.

Here I am with the B@C box with 30 Tacticals.

I am priming them today and have the chests and legs together then all the other bits separate.

Is it best to keep them all as separate as I have or should I assemble them without the shoulders and bolt guns but with arms and heads?

They will mainly be white in their colour scheme. Does anyone have that picture tutorial about how to do a simple but good white?

>>49680804
That color scheme is simple and awesome at the same time.
Very nice looking squad you got there.

>>49680977
Are the eyes still wip? What about the purple gloves some of them have?

The stripes on the guns look good. Fits with their "construction worker"-style

>>49681250
>Is it best to keep them all as separate as I have or should I assemble them without the shoulders and bolt guns but with arms and heads?

Why do you have to ask such a question after owning a 3000pts army of DA?

Personally i assemble marines completely and just let the weapons as separate pieces if they are held across the chest (the standard pose). If the pose is more open, i glue them in place.
I think its a little easier that way, others might prefer it otherwise.

>>49681279
I'm not sure whether I'll do more on the eyes, I don't mind them as they are as they kinda look 'alien' i guess and I think i might fuck it up if I try pupils.
You mean the blue/purple arms in back left? Yeah they are just basecoated so far

Yea going for a 'mining' style force so similar I guess

Had to speed paint 8 of the 10 here. They're noy perfect, but they're good enough, and I finished them just in time for my first game ever.

>>49681323
the plain white eyes definitively work as "alien". I really don't like looking at them.. in a good way.

>>49681197
this is nice, but its probably impossibly to truly produce a unit of clones based on human consistency in painting

>>49681330
I really don't understand why the pauldron edges are so messy. You only have to pass the side of the brush over them once

>>49681330
Bases Anon!

>>49680977
I feel like the eyes could do with a wash around the sockets, they seem too bright a white and it distracts from the great work on the skin.

>>49681345
You'd be surprised how much a bad brush can make that "one pass" not work out that way in practice.

They'll get cleaned up, but if I'd worked on them any later, the paint wouldn't even be dry by the time I have to be using them.

>>49681374
A poor workman blames his tools, anon.

>>49681302
>a 3000pts army of DA?
They are all bikes and Landspeeders with a couple terminators.

All these B@C guys hold their bolter across their chest so I figured I would ask.

With Bikes I would put the arms on the handlebar or with the one hand with the weapon would go to the chest.

Then I had the biker with helmet chest and legs together and the entire bike would be assembled.

>>49681480
If he has bad tools then such results are to be expected.
But then... why pay lots of money for miniatures and paint pots only to use them with a bad brush.. its not like he needs a $30 windsor brush. A $3-5 cheap sable brush would already be an improvement i guess.

>>49681545
>>49681480
I should probably clarify. It's not a "bad brush" in the sense that it's some 50 cent Walmart brush. It's a fairly nice ArtistLoft one. It's just started fraying, badly. And even Master's is only good enough to get it to hold a point for a couple minutes of brushing. It's wider than my drybrush at this point. But when you have to get an army done *now*...

I want to do a Klendathuish base for all of my Guardsmen Do you have any ideas on how to do kind of a reddish deserty base?

>>49680700
Metal Gear?

>>49681343

I don't know about that - if every model gets the same base, wash, and highlight then they'll end up looking unnaturally identical, regardless of if theres a little variation in how they're applied. That's why there's something to be said for mixing your fleshtones from a few different colours and varying the proportions a little.

It depends on how sloppy you are. I tend to put the feet on the base and add basing material, and sometimes add the torso and arms as well. Heads I often separately (especially since Blood Angels denote squad function with helmet colour!) when I can. Of course, with a lot of OOP metal models I just have to be extra careful and willing to back over any mistakes I make, as arms are typically the only thing *not* part of the model.

Backpacks, shoulder pauldrons, and guns bigger than a pistol are pretty much an "always do separately" for me. Backpacks and pauldrons you can always add later; it's pretty clear where they end and the model they're attached to begins. Most guns are not only a different colour than the model carrying them, plus attaching them first tends to obscure hard-to-reach areas of the chest when detail painting.

idk why ironearth is the only one sold out, though. maybe they only had x amount of stock and don't want to make more until they have the bigger bottles. either way, it'll probably be a bit before it comes back.

Anybody else here cast in metal?

I tossed out my ancient bottles of Micro Mark RTV silicone; they were starting to congeal, and frankly, I'd like to try something new. Their 1-to-1 product cures quickly (I used the four-hour version, but they have one now that cures in 30 minutes!), but it's really too soft for what I need it to do. Conversely, while their 10-to-1 product had great tearing resistance, I wasn't crazy about the viscosity when it was still liquid.

Micro Mark's stuff can take the heat (450F up to 600F for short periods), but some of the competing products I see are really only rated for resin. Can anyone recommend a good product that can take the heat of low-temperature alloys, reproduces details well, has decent tear strength, and won't cost me $100+?

Hi guys, I experimented with Vallejo glaze medium last night, can you critique my results?

>>49683021
what is it? it could probably benefit from a sharp edge highlight on each end (the farthest away edge still has the dark blue) i'm not sure what kind of blend you wanted. are these like striations on a chitin plate or did you want a smooth even gradient in equal parts across the whole thing?

>>49683058
It's a Retribution light myrmidon's pauldron, and I wanted to create a blue flame gradient.

>>49683101
well, as a highlight created by light it looks unnatural. as a design painted on the armor it kind of looks messy. if its a flame pattern i might suggest making the flames differnet lengths? if you are happy with it though keep it up.

Hey, newbie here, quick question.

Would it be better to apply washes AFTER you have more or less painted the model? I'm trying to paint Ultramarines and the blue is a bit dark, as I'm applying the Wash all over the body. Should I just apply it to areas where there would be shadows, to keep the nice blue color?

Thanks in advance.

>>49683350
for ultramarines, GW suggests you paint the wash specifically in the recessed areas. generally people will do base coat, then wash, then highlights. if the highlights are way too bright, they might do a watered down or thinned with mixing medium wash over the areas that are too bright

>>49683796
Yeah, the white and yellow paints have been a real pain in the ass.
I'm struggling with the idea of highlighting the red, pink, and orange sections since I'm already using all my colors. Would it be worth it to attempt to mix those colors with a LITTLE white for highlighting those sections?
I appreciate your input. The large plate sections definately do strike me as too flat.

>>49683890
Your yellow looks clean from that picture, but flat, just needs an agrax wash or something
Orange add a little yellow. Red highlight with that orange mixed with some red, then add some yellow. Pink is just red+white anyway, so adding more white will make it more pastel tone but would be better than nothing.
Try pinwashing before you start highlighting though. It'll be a pain in the ass highlighting that many different colours.

>>49683890
you could always just not use yellow or white, the white doesn't fit in too well anyway

>>49683890
Also, there is so much going on that every element is lost in the chaos. Add a few dark sections for contrast to the crazy colours and to help the composition of the pieced and create focal points

Spent the evening painting up one of the Otherworld golems. It was a fun exercise in painting bronze, involving three different shades of bronze paint and a verdigris effect. I have mixed feelings about the reflex: the verdigris turned out very realistic, and it looks as ancient as I wanted, but it also removed most of the shadows and highlights, and make it look kinda flat. Any tips on how to make it "pop" again? How do I do good highlights with bronze, when I'm already using the brightest bronze shade I have?

Ordered a few legs and backs to use the remaining bits I have lying around yesterday and forgot to also buy enough based to put my Space Marines on.

Any suggestions for decent looking budget options to use as bases for these guys? Don't want to pay shipping again for such tiny things.

Models will be regular Marines charging with chainswords, if anyone knows some spicy trick to make those DIY bases better.

Can someone give me a tip to learn not to constantly over-thin my paints? Going for the obvious "just use small amounts until the consistency fits" never works for me and often results in all my paint being on the mixing brush or washed off of it when I "finish" thinning.

>>49689726
Well usually to be on the safe side when thinning. Better to put on multiple thin layers.

But the general consistency most people to tell you to shoot for will be skim milk. That or ink.

>>49689726
I typically over thin like you while trying to hit the perfect consistency and then add more bits of paint from the pot until it feels right. Not sure if this helps. Also, even if you over thin sometimes if you're close enough you can work with it until the water starts to evaporate out a bit then it becomes the right consistency kind of naturally.

>>49689776
>>49689805
I'll try around a bit until I get a feel for it, I guess. Thanks.

Speaking of thinning, is there a thing, like a tiny spoon or something, I dunno, that helps with getting mire paint on the palette? Every brush full of paint makes it harder to add more which is an issue that has annoyed me ever since I mixed watercolors back in school.

That's so garish and awful that I despise it and love it at the same time. It's an ACTUAL canon representation of what Slaanesh marines (especially EC) should look like, instead of the more aesthetically pleasing clean pinks and purples most people use.
Your paint seems to be really thick though, especially noticeable on those fingers, and it could be crisper at the edges.

The skin was a base of Rakarth Flesh, then a wash mix of druchi violet + Reikland Fleshshade, you might notice the flesh tones are different across the models because I did different amounts sometimes 2/1 violet/fleshshade sometimes 1/2 I like how they came out, then just on the raised features a mix of violet/fleshshade + Rakarth Flesh. (Don't allow your washes to pool)


>>49681078

That's why they're still unbased, I'm not sure... I already based my aberrants pic related but now I feel unsatisfied, think I might change to an urban / grey / moonscape type base

Too flat and plasticy, needs shading/highlights. Huge surfaces like that are simply too much work for the metallic paint to pull off on its own.

Man, every time I look in these threads and see the awesome shit you guys come up with I'm sad my own paintjobs don't compare.

Vallejos premium varnishes are good. Get matte if you don't want shine.

I'm not sure if this is supposed to be your style, but this really isn't working. The skin, metal, cloth etc are all almost the same colour, it's flat and hard to make out.
Also remove mold lines and flash before painting.

It's Otherworld Miniatures' Iron Golem. Although despite the name, even the one on their page is painted bronze. It just looks better with the Greek motif than iron. It's resin, so it looks heavier than it is.

>>49693771
>>49693787
>>49693805

I'll agree with what the other anon said, these are flat, uninspired. There's a ton of ways to do a muted colour scheme, yours however, just comes off as a bit lazy. Keep experimenting, add some contrast and focal points, maybe one or two brighter spots, it will look better.

Other than that, the colours need some shading and highlighting, that white is just too flat for example.

There's mold lines all over, cleaning them up helps a lot for a better look.

It's also important to keep your work clean, those models have dust and hair all over, makes them look dirty in not in a good way.

Finally, those bases are a bit dull, a bit of basing goes a long way.

Keep working on those models and you'll improve a lot over time.

>>49694075
Take a picture with some basic printer paper as a backdrop. Make sure the camera is focused on the miniature. It looks like you put effort into the buggy but it's just a bad shot of it. Your second picture is just really out of focus too.

>>49693888
Yes

>>49694075
Doesn't explain why the skin is almost the same dark colour as the metal. Muted colours are fine, but you'll need some kind of highlights.

Doesn't GW have a paint that looks like wet blood/ruby?
I can't remember what kind of paint is that,
I am hoping they have a purple one or that the ruby kind can be blended with a blue.

>>49694852
GW has "Blood for the blood god", Tamiya has other colors too.

>>49694852
wet blood=blood for the blood god. they also have a 'ruby'-ish glaze color, spiritstone red, but that's mostly for gemstones.

>>49693636
Using gw paints blending bubonic brown and scorched brown should get you pretty close to that

>>49693233
That shit looks great, anon. I like the heavy shading and bone armor. Very crisp!

>>49695023
Thanks! This is what I do: First, I prime it black. Then , I paint the basecoat while leaving unpainted a little margin corresponding to the black outlines. Obviously, I make lots of mistakes, so I have to correct when I get over the black outline with colored paint or while I get over the colored area while correcting a black outline. The key skill is being able to paint with really small strokes using a fine tip brush. This way, I can correct the black outline without destroying it with a huge black blob.

The same skill is quite useful if you want smooth layers or you try to freehandsomething.

Mate, the feet look retarted.

>>49698229
If the three prongs are facing forward like an actual creature would work, then sure.

>>49696195
My method was simple, probably too simple:
1 Black undercoat
2 Drybrush Citadel Warplock Bronze
3 Drybrush Vallejo Bronze
4 Drybrush Citadel Dwarf Bronze (not sure what they call it nowadays)
5 Apply Citadel Nihilakh Oxide. I watered it out a little bit, and made sure to spread it around before it tried to make sure it got into the cracks and not open spaces.
6 Drybrush more bronze, to bring back the contrast.
7 I finished of by carefully brushing some weathering effect from Tamiya, for a dusty look.

Probably not the best or most efficient way to do it, but it worked. The key is to build up layers and not have too much paint on the brush when drybrushing, it needs to take time. Also look up reference picture of actual old bronze objects, that helps a lot.

And stop trying to turn me into the next church guy. I've replied once, here >>49698229

I'm not trolling, I'm offering criticism. Do you get butthurt every time anyone does that? If so, you probably should stay out if this thread.

>>49698591
Better. And if you can't handle criticism and feedback, why post in this thread?

>>49698591
That actually doesn't look bad, mate. My only gripe now is that the body is a bit too long for my tastes, but it's not bad!

Trying a fire effect for the first time. It's turning out better than I hoped.
And it's blue fire, because that's Japanese for spooky.

Ah, good times. Did he come back?

>>49698636
I forgot to specify, I mean 40k models

>>49698616
I obviously can since the feet were changed

>>49698554
Use some water to smooth out the green stuff a bit. Looks really, really cool, though.

>>49698581
Also make sure your brush is cleaned properly after each paint. And replace your cleaning water after you've been using a lot of reds/metallics. Especially the metallics.

>>49697719
Okay. Any input about the miniature in question?

>>49698668
Lol, yeah man, what would really help would if I could be more patient and not keep sticking my finger on still wet sections, but hey, iv only been doing stuff like this a month or two, still very much learning. Thanks for the advice and saying it looks cool though.

>>49698660

games-workshop.com has catalogues, waylandgames and other discounters have discounts but you need to specify which continent.

>>49698636
Depends on your location i guess.

There are lots of online shops that offer 15-20% discount on GW stuff, but to recommend you one your location is important because shipping costs can be quite a bit of money too.

>>49692652
space marine chapters rarely/don't usually posses their own titans, usually they belong to the titan legions or knight houses who sometimes loan their titans to others on joint operations I believe.

>>49698554
looks cool duder, you don't need that little bit of greenstuff on the one rock though, doesn't look as good as the rest of it

>>49697020
Second one. I paint anything that is nice enough: warhammer, reaper, scibor, mom miniatures... I never stick with a single thing, but I really liked that scheme, so I painted another one.

>>49697169
Really small brush strokes (only the tip of the brush needs to be really small) and paint retarder (allows you to wash errors away)

>>49698855
Yeah but in anon's defense, it looks cool as shit, so who cares? Maybe the Knight has a deep comradery or debt of honor to the Wolves to the point he's practically a member of the Great Company he fights besides.

Excuse the 3.1MB image, but it's really a bunch of big images.

Hi all, colourblind anon here with my armies on parade for the year. The board and 2 skyweavers still need to be painted for next week but it's otherwise finished.

What do you think? Any stuff you think I should fix?
Apologies if any pictures are washed out, still haven't got the hang of this fucking lamp

>>49698862
Aye mate, I know what you mean, I'm just experimenting with the base a bit, it's gonna be Forrest/swamp like, so was experimenting with making moss

>>49699455
The pictures arent great, but they are good enough to let me know that those dudes are rad as hell.

>>49699455

The board itself is the biggest issue I think. It looks so rough. The minis are great. What is the board supposed to be though? It looks like green foam with sand.

>>49699523
Never made a board before so yeah it's rough as fuck. It's blue foam. I just put on PVA mixed with green paint to make sure I don't miss any areas over it and I'll start painting it in the morning
>>49699508
Yeah the pictures are pretty terrible. I'm not sure how to get them better right now but I'll do something in the morning to get better photos.

Panic
Should I just file a small ridge onto the other idler mounts so I can mount the wheel?

>>49699541

Maybe make it like a peaceful meadow on a T'au world or something. Add a little simple picnic with two tau watching.

>>49699455
The minis are great. I told you before whenever you posted them and i saw some of the pics.

Your display board looks like shit in comparison though. Sorry for that choice of words but it is how it is. It looks unpainted at places and it doesn't fits to the bases of your infantry.

If i were you i'd build a new one or re-paint that thing.

>>49699569
You might want to provide pics Anon.. also /toy/ and the scale modeler thread over there might be a better place for your question.

Like I said, the board isn't painted, it's just PVA mixed with green paint because then the spray won't melt the phone

Melt the foam even, not phone.

How do learn to git gud at blending and how the fuck does blending work anyway?

>>49699639
>>49699625
In case you got money/time, spraycan paint made by "montana" works great with that kind of foam.

>>49699646
you're gonna want a wet palette and some acrylic medium
basically, you start at one colour and work your way to another one slowly over numerous layers
takes time and work but its one of the things that make paintjobs look gr8

>>49699245
>>49698855
Anon who painted it here, it was explained to me by dudes in the GW that the Wolves saved a knight house somewhere in the fluff. I'm not really sure about specifics, but thats why I decided to paint him up that way. I think I'm gonna paint the other one I have as AdM, but any other cool ideas for armies I could ally the other one with that makes fluff sense?

Pics are probably a good idea, yeah.
I'll also ask in the /toy/ thread but post it here as well.
On the left is one of the outer idler wheel mounts, with a small ridge so you can mount the wheel. The right idler mount is an inner one, without the ridge on the end.

An Ironjawz test model I just completed, minus base.

Any tips for doing forest/jungle bases? I want to do a hunter/ranger green tau force and want to really bring everything together with the bases, but I'm a poor judge of the line between cluttered and sparse

>>49698097
When you walk, as a human (the most well studied bipedal organism in the universe) your foot faces foward.

Ths majoriry of your stabilisation is achived by the heels, with occasional input from your great toe. You will notice that your using your toe most often when your center of gravity is forward to your heels.

When you go to walk, you lean slightly forwards and the long part of your foot flexes down.

So lets compare that to your current design:

In terms of center of gravity, its a forward heavy design, so the last thing it needs is backward facing stabilizers. It's almost never going to want to fall backwards.

The second question is how its going to propel itself. Imagine the way a checken walks versus the way an elephant walks. Elephants dont have the front part of the foot flexion to provide that propulsion; hence they are slow and ponderous. Chickens can move quite quickly using the flexion in the foot to contribute to the walking motion.

The orientation of the feet makes the difference between being an agile or clumsy walker. Your current design suggests clumsy.

It's your model, but like everyone else here i strongly suggest chaning the feet.

Am I kawaii? Ugu~

>>49700344
Kowai desu

>>49700344
I'd consider adding a bit more white to the mane, also clean the rim of the base, it'll look so much nicer.

>>49700344
>picking up the model you are photographing
>doing so whilst your hands look like that

>>49700445
I literally have no other place in my apartment with good, neutral lighting other than my kitchen, and if I put in down on the counter it would be too far away from the lamp. But I promise I'll wash my hands, mom.

>>49700438
Do you mean more white on the blue fire parts, or more highlight on the mane itself? Either way you're right. And I'll fix the base, I promise.

>>49698635
Looks real good, what is that autocannon made from?

>>49693824
im betting they are so time consuming there is no "full force"

Guy on left I did when I used to play 7 years ago. Guy on right is first model I've painted since.


Yes, this is giant chain sword, thick paint, blue jeans dreadnaught guy.

>>49701114
Oops.

>>49701128
Fun fact: "thin your paints" isn't just a cute catchphrase, but something you actually should do. Because that's some thick and lumpy paint.

>>49701162
Fun fact: Dank meme bro.

The dude on the left? Yes.

The dude on the right? Fuck, it was already water basically.

>>49701258
the one on the right has a lumpy texture over the whole thing, did you go a bit crazy with drybrushing?

>>49701258
It's the guy on the right that I'm talking about. Actually look at him. The paint must be like two millimeters thick, at least. You clearly did not thin it.

>>49701258
The one on the right is actually lumpier than the one on the left.

>>49701296
I mean, my paint was so thin I had to do a few layers of paint because the base coat was still showing through.
>>49701311
Oh yeah, look at him! So thats what I was supposed to do? What a stupid idea it was to paint blindfolded.

>>49701370
Is that from the metal paint additive? or was my spraypaint base coat done shitty?

>>49701128
i think the white drybrushing over the model is detrimental- i like how its conveying how frozen they are, but i think it kind of blends the entire model into the same shade and makes it look dusty.
maybe white drybrush the armour, and wash the skin heavily with carroburgh crimson to make it look like the skins pink from frost?

>>49701128
So, in the off chance that your paints were thin enough like you said imma go a different direction. How's your primer? If the primer doesn't go on smooth then their could be something wrong with the primer paint itself or with the way that you're applying it. Could also be putting it on too thick itself.
Are you letting the paint completely dry between each layer? If you're putting wet paint onto paint that hasn't fully dried it can lead to a clumpy, uneven look.

>>49701128
Are you actually putting sand in your paint to get a texture like that?

>>49700614
made from the chaos terminator reaper

>>49701406
Any suggestions on how to make the body a bit more interesting if I'm not dry brushing that part?

>>49701412
Probably not letting it dry long enough. Also my first time using spray paint primer. I bet I fucked that up real good.
>>49701443
It could be the metalic paint additive, which would basically be the same thing.
