Lookin for input, this was just a tester so it's a bit sloppy, main focus was getting the green down, used underhive ash as a light dry brush, curious what people think.

Thanks.

i found a commisar i thought i had stolen. hidden in a bookshelf. also one of the first models i painted. well, within about two months of starting.

>>50430506
As in you thought you stole it? Or you thought that the model was stolen?

>>50430607
a few months ago we were having open homes (my family rents) with lots of prospective buyers coming through. i had to work one day, and while i had family home and the real estate were present, that night i realised i couldnt find the model, which at the time was the pride of my collection and my only model of any value. somehow he got four shelves lower than where i was displaying him, and behind a row of books.

>>50430786
Well it's good that you found him. He's a little dusty, but still looking good.

Should just peel away as it is non-adhesive. Get a fresh scalpel blade under it and lift I away from the model, it should just pop off in mostly one piece.

Hey /wip/, I'm painting my DEldar basically like pic related, but with a darker bronze weapon and purple highlights, but I don't like the skin loincloth so I'm looking for suggestions for what colour to do it. I'm thinking green, for meme magic, but I'm not sure.

Just got a little box from the friendly chinaman Z.
This was the first time i ordered from them and i'm really surprised how good the quality is. I expected less. Well worth the $3 + 3 for shipping.

Delivery time took 11 days from China to Europe btw.

Fun fact: I'm not sure if they use real GW bases or if they recast them as well.. if they do, they even copied the little "GW 2003" tag on the bottom of it.

>>50433641

I've been on the fence about ordering a lot of stuff him for years but it looks like his quality has drastically improved. Nice! No weird smells I hope?

>>50433641
>>50433684

Z has problems occasionally, I haven't had a single order from him where I haven't had to get a significant amount of it replaced (missing parts, broken bits etc.) Still, nice and cheap though. CCON would be your best choice if you wanted the best quality, however he has far less to choose from and his shipping takes a while longer.

Just finished this little guy. Still need work in the base, tho. Any thoughts?

>>50433849
Some of your highlighting is a little sloppy, like on the groin and fingers. A little more water mixed in would help smooth the application. And the highlight colour looks strange since the base is metallic and the highlight isn't.

>>50433958
Thank you anon. I must admit I´m terrible at highlighting, but I am trying to improve my skills. The problem with the colour is that I haven´t found yet another blue metallic color, and highlighting with silver or so looks absolutely horrifying.

>>50434077
Mix a bit of your blue metallic with a bit of runefang steel and you'd probably have a lighter metallic blue.

his stream is set to Korean only

also there are bunch of Big Boss busts available online but I've not seen the one in his videos. Very possible that he just sculpted that one for himself and not for a company.

please give me tips on thinning my paints for edge highlighting it always too runny or not watered enough

>>50438653

Thin with glaze medium, use a synthetic brush and wipe off all excess paint. You want non-runny, transparent paint. Don't try to do a highlight in one stroke, do multiple thin layers so you can control how opaque the highlight is.

Yellow is a contrasting colour to purple, hence why the light yellowish metal has been chosen for the guns.
If you're going for a darker bronze (which has more red), I would definitely go for a more yellow loincloth.

>>50438516

It's what I speculated in my earlier posts. Which just adds to the frustration because if it's a custom I can't get one myself.

I noticed that the line between an okayish paintjob and a great one is that dirty, blurred look okayish ones have. I assume that this is due to adding too much wash, but what makes the great ones look so neat, smooth and sleek?

Not drinking liquid plastic for a start. I once dreamed I had just taken a big gulp of the muddy and swampy thing in the cup I use for my painting water and woke up coughing my lungs out.
It's been a nice day. I'm currently painting my Cold One Riders. The Cold Ones themselves are painted and this will probably be my last unit of GW miniatures, so I'm going slow and trying not to rush it or make a mistake.

I'm working on trying to make my sisters look less boring while improving their previous paint job. This one is 90% done, just the bags and some of the details to do. I tried to do the pupils for the eyes but not sure how it'll come through in pictures. They aren't wonky looking at it straight on though.
Thinking about hair colour and wondering if I should do them all ginger for the contrast or keep the hair realistic browns/blacks/blonde

I use calgar blue for plasma then do a heavy wash of drakenhof nightsade for my plasma guns. Gives it a glossy-glowing effect and looks nice. Might do it with a brighter shade of blue but calgar blue gets the job done well.

Both mine and my buddy's WIP armies on our homemade gaming table featuring terrain almost entirely made from garbage/sprues. This is my first foray into making terrain/modeling in general and I'm loving it. Thanks for all the encouragement, fa/tg/uys.

>>50444311

What's the size of the table? Are you planning to make multiple panels and stick them together or just play on a smaller board (I'm assuming that's not 6'x4')

Looking pretty good overall, even though they're made from garbage I would advise putting something circular and flat over the open holes in the four-can piece, and filling in the corrugation on the cut side of cardboard sheets; I would normally use wall-filler for that but since it's supposed to be metal, you could use thin strips of card (such as cereal boxes) for a flat surface

I can't tell if you've used wall filler or textured paint or what on the buildings but I've gotten pretty good use out of dollar store wall-filler for basing and terrain, could come in handy for future pieces if you decide to make more

>>50444913
Thanks for the comments! I do have plans to fill the holes on those can pieces, I'm just not sure what direction I want to go with regarding the 4-can generator looking one.

The table 6x4 and I plan on cutting it in half with a circular saw and putting a piano hinge on it for easier transport.


Regarding what I use on the buildings, it's a texture paste I made myself with some household items, but I'll definitely check out wall filler from the dollar store. I've found that the stuff that I made is more appropriate for mud and basing the terrain pieces that are flocked like the crater and the tank traps and not so much for the sides of buildings.

>>50445009

The wall-filler is definitely better for ruins or primitive structures, just fyi, it's pretty difficult to get a smooth finish (although I do apply it with popsicle sticks and toothpicks, which might not help), it can also be helpful to build up a mound of "dirt" (filler) and then glue sand or flock over it, such as on building bases. You could make a crater out of just mounded up wall-filler with some sand sprinkled on it, for example.

You can also get huge bags of "river rocks" from home depot for $5 iirc, you have to rinse the dirt off them but they come in handy for terrain, especially if you use them alongside sand, wall-filler, etc.

It looks like you might already have used some, but if you weren't aware of it sprue-rubble (cut up chunks of sprue) is an old-school way to make piles of junk for ruined buildings.

pic related is a small, simple ruined building, I've smeared the wall-filler in between the timbers in a fairly thin layer, but I did the rubble-piles before I discovered the wall-filler, built them up with all kinds of junk, would have been much simpler to use the filler as a base and glue a smaller amount of sand/rocks/sprue-rubble/popsicle stick chunks on it.

You can also stir sand or small rocks directly into the wall filler for different effects.

It's not super-strong, so I seal it down with a few layers of thinned white/elmers glue to make sure it doesn't crack or crumble, and primer/paint over that makes it pretty sturdy.

>>50445438

also should mentioned that after the filelr is dry you can "sand" it with a wet paper towel, as well as gently scraping with an xacto knife, to clean it up. I have not yet cleaned this building up so it still looks pretty messy, especially the corners

>>50445438
Damn anon that is shaping up to be some fine work. I could definitely see that on shelves once it was done. Thanks for the advice. Right now every piece of terrain I make is some experiment with another method. I just finished my latest piece so I'll definitely move on the methods you described, it sounds like I can save myself a lot of trouble with that wall filler.

The bone effect looks quite nice except that final edge highlight was too thick (both the line and the paint) especially down the middle of the sword, on the right hoof, that middle leg plate, and the central chest plates.

Purple ridges on the arms/whip could use a very minimal highlight just to make them stick out a bit more

Think I'll do a sewer base like the skavenblight scramblers one

>>50443486
I have no idea Anon. It was my first order and they didn't complain about it being just one mini.
Since i had no experience with chinese recasters in general (and also really wanted to have that lokhir fellheart mini) i figured it might be best to start with a small "test" order to see how it works out.

>>50443814
Nice, how much did you pay for these?

Looks great, anon. I love Skaven.

/wip/, how do I effecively assemble my Sktarii troops to save my time and money? How should I go about Special Weapons, with the Arquebus needing the huge base and generally being a weird weapon? Stick a bit of plastic to its foot's end and just magnetize the weapon normally instead of using the big base?

>>50438278
it looks really good man, im not too sure with the gun, it would of been better if it was black but thats my taste, i would in this case recommend a darker red would be more spot on.

/wip/, do you have any helpful advice to model Noise-Weaponless Noise Marines to still make them distinguishable from generic CSM in my soon-to-be-made Slaanesh army?
Suggestions regarding the colors are accepted too, but I'd prefer them to have the same color scheme as the rest of the army I was thinking of making them mostly golden, with purple/pink as secondary color (they're meant to take the "Emperor's Children keep that name to mock the Imperium" to the next level by wearing the same colors of the Emperor and the Custodes)

So after thinking about buying a ''tentacle board'', I decided to make my own and came up with a way that I haven't found anywhere on the internet.

Just glue Spaghetti to a hard flat surface, once the glue dried up, take a negative with any sculpting putty you want (used super sculpey for pic related and put the whole board in the oven)

And voilà, you just made your own ''tentacle board'', now you can make shittons of tentacles or cables for all kinds of minis.

You can also use all kind of different sized spaghetti for different shaped tentacles.

Is pic related the best way to do shrike wings?
I thought I'd ask before I sink £16 into a box of gargoyles just to get 5 shrikes out of it.

>>50449840
Dunno, ''the best way'' is very subjective.

Nids have only 3 pairs of limbs and pic related has 4, so it already looks off to me, but fluff isn't that important, whatever floats your boat m8.

I'd just give them one pair of gargoyle wings, technically their wings are just ''jump packs'' and they don't really fly around the battlefield, so I think it's okay that their wings are smaller.

>>50449840
There are bitz sellers on ebay and elsewhere. You could check their stock for the wings.
Or you could get one box and recast any amount you like from that.

>>50449883
I'm glad I'm not the only one that feels that way. The picture makes it look like an insect. Also in the picture he has cut the wing at the base and pulled it in. I believe if I don't do that i should be able to run one wing down the inside of the carapace making the joint a bit stronger too. I'm just worried one set will look too small. As you say though they are only jump packs and I already assembled the warriors on their bases as shrikes was not my initial plan.

'Your paint seems a bit thick and even gritty in certain areas. You could also work to improve your pre-paint stages of cleaning (look under the right shoulderpad rim for instance). And you need to tidy up some places where you have accidently spilled some paint. Keep practicing on those edge highlights, they are a bit sloppy now, but will look better in time.

Base your fabric in bleached bone/khaki or whatever, tone or wet blend it to get your desired shadows etc, then paint on your blood splashes with a deep crimson colour. After it's dry go over your blood with a very (very) thin coat khaki so there's a slight khaki cover over the blood, so it looks like blood absorbed into the fabric

Get some plasticard rods and cut them up

Hey wip, sorry if questions about color schemes are considered shit, but I need some input.

I'm a newb whos gonna start my first batch of marines soon and I think I've decided on:

Dark green armor (incubi darkness)
Bronze decorative metal
Light green/yellow accessories (plasma/lenses and such)

Anyone have any ideas what secondary color (cloth and such) would fit with this?

Think white/bleached might make to much like Dark Angels and red/burgundy too much like Dark Eldar but i really like the idea of some strong contrast like that.

Again, sorry if I've broken some protocol for these threads. I've read a bit on color theory and tried out on some generators but what I really need is opinions.

For more rounded rivets you can use PVA, but try it on some scrap plasticard first because it could be quite difficult to master.

Citadel shades are pretty solid. I wouldn't recommend mixing your own, but if you do then make sure you mix it in large batches and do many models at once to avoid inconsistencies.

Washing is also the easiest way to make models look okay.

Be sure to add a crappy powerplant, smokestacks with mufflers, stuff like that.

Easiest way to do rivets is to buy plasticard rod, like the other anon mentioned. About the diameter of angelhair spaghetti. You cut little discs off the rod. (Put your finger over the tip of the rod you're cutting, cause when you cut it the little disc will go flying across the room.)

To glue them, I put a couple drops of superglue on a piece of scrap cardboard or whatever. Then you poke a disk with the tip of your craft knife, barely touch it to the droplet of glue, and just stick it directly on the mini. If you try to use tweezers, you're just going to get glue on them and the rivets will get stuck on the tweezers rather than the model.

>>50456305

You can get plasticard with diamond-plate patterns in it, though I think you pretty much have to order it online. Never seen it in hobby shops. For grating, you can get patch kits for screens, that consist of smallish pieces of metal mesh. Hardware stores carry them. Craft stores will also carry "granny mesh," which is a plastic mesh used for sewing and embroidery. Either can work.

>>50456687
>sprayed whilst on the CLEAR flight stick

TRIGGERED

>>50455967

I can see you've already rough-beveled the edges of the plates, which is good. You can accentuate the effect even more by adding some notches and nicks to the edges with your knife. Bullet divots are also great. Easiest way is to use a hand drill to make a shallow divot, then give it an asymmetrical, rough chamfer with your knife. A couple narrow nicks radiating out from a bullet hole also looks cool.

>>50456714

>I mean that's all primer is, paint, there's nothing particularly special about it.
Uh, no, they actually are different.

primer (attempts) to form a chemical bond with the surface
(acrylic) paint forms a mechanical bond with the surface

That's why some primers are especially difficult (and sometimes impossible) to truly strip from miniatures.

>>50452142

You can find video tutorials for making your own wash, basically you mix ink+matte medium+flow improver

At the end of the day I don't think it's actually that much cheaper though

You can use thinned paint like this guy said >>50452323

but it's not as good. Nuln Oil and Agrax Earthshade will cost you like 20 bucks but they should last you a while and are pretty much all you need

>>50457770
>nothing particularly special
I know that primer is different, my point is that regular acrylic paint still works. As long as you finish with some sort of clear varnish, there is effectively no noticeable difference between primer and a solid undercoat of acrylic paint.

Hello expert neckbeards, is it realistically possible to file down the Chaos elements out of these shields in pic related? I need cheap shields to use on my Space Marines.

>>50457807
>there is effectively no noticeable difference between primer and a solid undercoat of acrylic paint
Primer makes a provable difference in durability versus straight paint. That is, literally, it's entire purpose.

Even with several coats of varnish, I wouldn't trust acrylics if you expect to be handling or moving those models with any frequency.

>>50457935
I have models undercoated with regular ol' paint from like 8 years ago that still hold up fine. Spray primer is good to have and all, but there's just no need to waste money on brush-on primers, and in dubious weather it's easiest, cheapest and overall a-ok to just use acrylic paint.

>>50457929
with a dremel, yes

>>50457981

Wouldn't the bit fly out of my hand if I use a dremel?

>>50457993
thats why you pin it to something! I use a slow speed anyways. its what I do to file down chaos markings on helmets and shit.

>>50453577
It's painted nicely, I just think the model could be more nurgley. It's just a normal DP model painted green.

>>50458019

Eh, I'll just look for another alternative. In case I change my mind, is there a cheap dremel you can recommend?

>>50457929

It just doesn't seem worth it. Not when there are shit-tons of third party sellers who do all kinds of fancy shield bits, for not much money.

>>50458056
not on me, sorry. another way is using files/that moldline remover, but the easiest way is to use something like shapeways and just grab yourself a ton of shields that way.

>>50458135
well actually, after checking prices, it might just be better for you to try to pick some shields up from a bitz shop on ebay or something, or a recaster doing breachers. But if you still wanna use the originals,the only way I see is using a file/knife/moldline remover to scrape away+green stuff to make it look good again.

or just use plasticard and work from there with green stuff.

>>50457929
Okay I read the thread of replies to this and holy shit.
Shapeways is a huge waste of money for something as mundane as shields.
You can get them literally everywhere.
Third party companies specializing in profiting off of GW's IP and other games, even historical miniature ranges would suffice if you just want flat shields.
It should only cost you few cents to get that.

If you want nicer ones check out stuff like the Hasslefree shop, they sell shields, or MaxMini, or Anvil Industries for something more tacticool. Crocodile Games sell a whole bunch of egyptian themed shields for example as well, they also have designs that work in a more generic context, like a scorpion.
If you just want flat shields it might even be easier to just cut the shape out of plastic card yourself and bend it before attaching it to a pistol/ccw hand minus the weapon.

There is so much stuff you could get tailored to your needs. Just look a little harder.

Honestly the chaos space marine models have so much detail you actually want a simple paint scheme with them. Red weapons should be enough red to keep your autism at bay and chaos space marines come with enough trim, skulls, spikes, and mouths to break up the brass.

Why, because you can't just take my word for it? They're buried somewhere in a pile of boxes I haven't unpacked since I'm temporarily living at my parents' place. My point is, I've noticed next to no difference between minis properly primed, and minis that are just undercoated with acrylic paint.

>>50458567
That's a good point actually. Thanks.

not too shabby m8, maybe highlight the laces on the ball a bit brighter

It just occurred to me that there's a lot of stuff you could do with Typhus Corrosion on Bloodbowl minis

You guys think its feasible to do some kind of press mould with green stuff to get chapter badges on marine shoulders? I suck at freehanding

What do you think of the vallejo wash line? im just now seeing that on the paint guide up top.

>>50458248
I love the base. The idea of a Blood Bowl pitch that's more dirt than grass seems very fitting.

i've seen it done. make a stamp and cut off the excess putty.
casting is an option too though. might give better consistent results.

>>50458746

People say they're just as good as GW, I've never tried them

I would guess they're probably not significantly worse. Vallejo paints are mostly not as good as GW (especially metallics) but they're not *that* much worse. It's about proportional to the price difference

Another option is buying the paint-can sized Army Painter dip which should last several armies worth and generally seems to be highly regarded

My latest project.

>because building is more fun than painting

sup /tg/ I have some terrain I need to paint. Is there any spray paint that I can get from a home depot or something that best matches GW's Caledor Sky blue?

>>50458882
>Vallejo paints are mostly not as good as GW
Bullshit.
Butter bullshit.

They dry a little faster, but the pigment seems much finer. They're smooth. Oh so smooth. To top it off they are cheaper an you get 5ml more per bottle.

And the Liquid metal paint series by Vallejo is supposedly one of the best ones around.
Metals are tricky though.

There is no one best manufacturer for anything. Just buy what works best.

>>50458746
I can recommend the Army Painter washes too. Their dark shade is basically almost 1:1 the good old Devlan Mud.

>>50458533
The only thing vaguely worth it in that kit is the compressor (and that's even debatable, since there's no tank). Those kit airbrushes are generic Chinese POS brushes with Master's name on them; they'll work until a seal fails or your needle gets tweaked, then you'll quickly discover replacement parts don't exist. Save your cash, get branded equipment.

>>50458762
I don't really mind spending a lot of time on each of them, its just consistency I'm worried about. I'll look into casting but will check out stamping first.

Thanks

>>50458959
Damn i guess theres no way to get into airbrushing without throwing down at least $250,

Thanks for saving me from that knock off

>>50459083
You can get in for less than $200 if you shop around; Master's tanked compressor (@ $90ish) is worth it as long as you're not running more than 1 brush, and you can get into an Iwata revo or the like for less than $100

There's a shit ton man, a lot of the new teams rules are in Death Zone, but there are some other teams from the older edition that work pretty well in the new one.

>>50459394

>>50456971

>>50459408
Yea, they're releasing new models for them, but really slowly. Dwarves are probably the next to have their models released.

Double sized washes double the chance to knock over. Fuck me

>>50459466
Thanks bud. Might start it cause it looks pretty gud

>>50459506
Yea man, its a lot of fun, and if you want to start without spending a shit load of money just try getting old WHFB models off ebay and use whats in your bits to make them look more footbally.

Got a great unclean one from Z a couple weeks ago. The thing was flawless.

>>50459987

Z has been slipping recently. His quality is great but his delivery times have skyrocketed. Last order I made I had to wait a month before I got a tracking number. The order I made in early October, he said two weeks, but I'm still waiting for a tracking number.

Amen to that.

I have about 15 Tempestus, 5 Flagellants, 20-odd Marines and two Dreads sitting next to me, and yet I just want to build. Going to have to force myself to paint some before I build too much more...

>>50460489
I can't say I'm a fan of the model/sculpt itself, but good job on the face!

>>50459413
Pretty amazing considering its a BoC dread. Gives me hope that maybe I can make mine not look stupid too.

>>50460908
nah i agree, it doesnt have any real good detailed features or weapons, or even focal points. but once i'd started and realised this it was too late to change.

>>50460937

I want to like the Contemptor Design, I really do. It just looks like Grimace from McDonalds with a bunch of guns though.

>>50436760

I don't think 40k people care about being gay.
At the beginning of the Ravenor series when he's describing his psychic mind soaring out over the city and spying on everyone he mentions seeing 2 gay dudes and he doesn't even purge them.

>>50460489
Honestly, That looks like it's about half done.
It shouldn't place at a contest...needs some highlights and detail.

>>50461147
to clarify, that picture there was half done, i just reposted it from earlier since it showed the face, which was finished. unless you mean even in the other picture it looks unfinished.

Got this guy second hand from a friend who didn't play Space Wolves anymore. I think he's come out pretty good, but I'm looking for a way to write his name on one of those pieces of parchment.

Ideas?

Could anyone identify this color?
The model looks Crimson Fisty so I assumed Kantor Blue but I'm not entirely convinced.
Are my eyes retarded?

nobz at vip dot 163 dot com?

>>50461835
it looks like a dark blue, probably kantor blue, it just has very bright highlighting that tricks the eyes at first glance.

>>50456787
Not saying you did do it, it still triggers me regardless of who did it.

At least you could maybe do a burning wreck on the base and have a plume of smoke climbing up around the stick, or have a cloud of smog/gas drifting down from the looted Valk. If you don't want to source a new stick and all, that is.

Yes. I think there's the betrayal at calth one for $18.50 and then every other one starts at $17.50 for bodies then like $6.50 - $7.50 for an arm

His normal shipping is like a month and free over 45, or I think for $25 extra or something you get expedited within a week.

>>50456876
I know how you feel anon.
Currently summer in Aus and during the day its so hot I cant prime without the spray going shit and in the afternoon and morning its way too humid so the primer literally ruins the model.

I have 150+ guardsmen staring at me with their grey little eyes and fuck me if im brush priming them all.

>>50462633
>>50462222
I'm in Aus as well and just a general question. Is an airbrush affected the same way that people talk about primer? I understand that the spray cans have solvents etc that may be what is being affected but I'm not sure and thought I would ask. I did 3 models recently and there were a few really shitty areas but I also think that they might be caused from not so perfect paint stripping taking place prior

Is cold bad for spray primer?
It just hit minus temps here and I can only really spray outside. What's the negatives if any?

Anyone anon got that neat 4 step alpha legion marine (shiny metallic blue) technique picture? All I can remember is it has about four steps, uses the blue glaze, and gives a teal/blue colour.

If I want to "glue" a detail to a model temporarily, just to see how it looks, only to detach it without consequences or effort afterwards, how do I do it?

I'm trying to learn how to convert stuff.

>>50442959
Those metals could probably use a wash, Agrax Earthshade or Nuln Oil.
Would help to hide the uneven coat, too.

Because models that aren't primed usually like like shit, with heaps of paint globbed on that rubs off when you look at it. That and colored primers save a fuckload of time.
