Posting my Scourges to start off the thread. Did some work on the bat wings, going to add some freehand tattoos to them. What colors do you guys recommend?

Arm-Pit anon here wondering if anyone else is going to be late asses like me for Secret Santa?

Thanks for our patient Santa organizer tho. Sounds like a rough job

just spilt a entire pot of tamiya plastic cement in the carpet. My entire room smells like a nail salon.

Any ideas how to repair my fucked carpet and get the stain out? I dropped it only a min ago.

>>50592022
anon you're already dead

>>50592022
tfw always read cement as semen and was wondering what thread I was in

>>50592022
Errrr some strong solvent.
Nail polish remover is the safest if you have a female in your house or use it for stripping metal.
Second some cleaning alchohol or a spirit will dissolve it and allow it to be absorbed.

RIP Tamiya Plastic Cement in carpet anon.
He dun goofed and was found dead surrounded by tiny plastic space men, by his family after they didn't hear anything from him for 2 weeks.
He died as he lived, not surrounded by insects.

You aren't, or at least probably aren't going to die from glue fumes in a normal-ish size room.

It ain't healthy in the slightest, but if that much would kill a human being, we'd have a lot less junkies huffing paint fumes because they'd all be fucking dead.

>>50592861
speaking of glue fumes, how often should I be taking breaks using plastic glue for my minis. I'm pretty good about not getting any on my finger tips and I always keep the window open but damn it's a strong smell. and I build the stuff in my room so it dries overnight, am I giving myself plastic cancer?

I straight up use superglue for everything.
Always loads in stock at poundland and it's safe for humans if you don't huff it. Much less fumes as polycement and doesn't cause harm if it gets into cuts.

allows me to snap and change parts if I realise a head sculpt looks bad painted, a weapon option is terrible or a pose is bad.

Never had a problem with models falling part, even when dropped it's rare for an arm to pop off.

>>50592890
Just open your window every 2 hours for 5-10 minutes and leave the room for that time and its fine. Probably overly careful, but save.

>>50592917

Same here. People who MUST use plastic glue are retards. The only time I'd even consider plastic glue is gluing vehicle hulls together.

Added to the copypasta. Solvents don't usually kill you all at once (but they can), they fuck you up in the long term.
Hobbyists don't get as much exposure as people in industry, but they don't wear anywhere near as much PPE or have a manager breathing down their necks.
Open your windows when working with solvents for the whole time and thank yourself in 30 years time.

A buddy of mine used to joke that the smell of organic solvents is the smell of your brain cells dying, and he wasn't far off.
If you get a headache you've already had short-term overexposure.

>>50593274
The one on the left cost £4 for 1 bottle. The one on the right cost £1 for 8 bottles.

They are the same chemical in the same quantity for 1600% increase.

>>50592890
leave your door open, get some air movement by opening a window a bit

Having your hobby shit in a different area to your sleeping shit is also a smart idea, but a bit of ventilation goes a long way.

To, uh, change the subject to something new, I wasted to ask opinions on something I've been mulling over the last couple days. With how the technology's progressed, would it be possible and economically viable to 3D print a tank? I know its still expensive/hard to get any good detail on a miniature, but the idea in my head is for custom Gorgons and a Stormhammer for an Imperial Militia army I'm building. I don't want to rip off the models (I think the FW Stormhammer is a nice looking tank) but design something more fitting for my army's theme. I just wanted to know if anyone thought it'd be possible, or if I should put it out of mind.

>>50594359

No. Custom parts like weapon shields and ramps? yeah.

Not an 8"+ tank

>>50594359
If you want to go in this territory, I'd rather buy recasts from based chinaman.

>>50594359
Its possible, but not economical for most people.

Pic related for example is a 3d-printed M1 tank. The guy who prints it asks for $33 for it, which is not bad for a tank in this size and most historical resin tanks are only slightly cheaper (the M1 is kinda big though, compared with ww2 tanks at least).

He also sells a couple of other vehicles, prices range from $9-$44.
The thing is: He uses a really expensive printer. ($5000+) and he has 7 of them, and he needs that much because printing one such tank takes more than 12 hours.

Quality wise its not as good as top tier resin or plastic scale kits, but its certainly not bad either. There are worse wargaming tanks on the market for sure.
The big benefit is that he can design and print whatever you want, and fill gaps in the existing lines of other, bigger, companies. (His russian T-80 for example is the only one on the market at this point, and he can print it in any scale)

If you can afford the printers and if you are good at designing you can certainly print your own tanks (or rip off GWs designs which will cause you no problems as long as you aren't selling them).

But as Anon >>50594382
said, if you are mainly after GW tanks, Chinamen are a better choice at this point. But we'll see what the future brings.

>>50594473
>>50594382
>>50594378

Alright, thanks guys. Maybe if I do get inclined to it, I'll see if I can grab some chinaman tanks and work them into the ideas I have in mind, maybe make custom parts on top of them. Its probably gonna be a while until I start on the idea, so I wanted some feedback while I'm still planning it.

If you have ideas, you could ask the owner of "special artizan service miniatures" (the guy that does that M1) on facebook if he could design or print them for you.
If he sees potential to sell these items in his shop he probably will be able to help you and design the parts for you. (He did alot of stuff for people from the Bolt Action community to fill gaps in Warlord Games product range lately)

What's not particularly visible there is the godawful texture that most 3D prints that aren't hugely expensive have. It also depends on you having really good, detailed 3D models in the first place (that tank looks like it's somewhat lacking). >>50594378 has it right, 3D printing is perfect for something like making your own custom pauldrons, or even your own head to stick on your warlord (there are companies that will do this at the right scale), where the high material cost isn't a factor, but it's not suited to anything big.

our common candy bars (kit kat, coffee crisp, things like that) are advertised as milk chocolate, though the mostly contain lard and no milk. so any kind of nice chocolate bars are good, as well as mint and orange chocolate.

Support your local Techmarine.

I'm fairly new to building minis and my first properly big model is here, a Baneblade. It seems straightforward if time consuming to build.
Do models this size need any particular special treatment when building, or should I be OK with regular GW plastic glue (all I have at the moment)?

Going to pick up some superglue as well, any particular best brand or do I just get whatever?

are there any primarch sized space marine helmets? i want my Lorgar to wear helmet instead of showing his ugly face

>>50596714
Also, after building most of a War Convocation sans Knight I'm now drowning in spare Admech parts since they're all dual kits. Is it usually cool if I replace some of the sponsons with Admech guns and/or generally Mechanicum it up a bit?

I painted everything with khaki and then the camo. then a light sepia wash. not sure what to do next, I was thinking black wash on crevasses? also considering getting a MIG weathering set.. but I own a MIG sand dust paint (unused) and have paint to attempt that sponge damage method. just unsure how to proceed.. help me!

>>50597849
Wash all the bolts in a dark brown wash like agrax to make them stand out, i would also suggest doing the cracks in a brown and not black because your vehicles are mostly earth tones.

>>50597849
A dark brown or even black (i'd go with brown first) pin wash might give you some better contrasts for your vehicles in general. That sepia wash seems a bit light.

I usually paint the colors on again after a wash, but that won't work with the camo pattern you choose. Pic related for example is base colors, then decals, then sepia wash (vallejo one, unthinned, so its pretty strong) and then brown, green and yellow re-painted while leaving a few spots of the darkend down colors from before.
Then i added a couple of chips here and there with a rust and then a metal color.

The tires are weathered with a mix from pigments (vallejo, but mig is just as good), pva-glue, water and a bit of matte varnish. Barely visible but underneath the vehicle i used a texture paint from vallejo

For weathering in general i recommend texture paint as a base and then dabbling on various washes and some pigments as well to give it a bit of color variety. I can show you a 2nd pic of that if you want.

Oh, and one thing i would do if i were you: The tracks of that Jagdpanzer: Paint them in a darker rust-like color, not pure metal. Only a slight metal drybrush to the very edges of the track links.

Go brown instead of black.

As for weathering, there are some great tutorials out there explaining the technique better than I could in a post on here. Just google around a bit.
I can also recommend looking through 'The Weathering Magazine' There were some really great articles in those too. If you are crafty enough you can find the pdfs floating around online too.

I'm biased, but it's certainly my favourite. Depending on who stops by, /btg/ (>>50597037) has its good days too, though.

>>50598077
Basically this. Personally i would do it more subtle than in that pic, but thats a matter of taste i guess. Some people just like it rough.

This kind of chipping will achieve 2 effects: Your vehicles look more realistic and at the same time they get some kind of edge highlight which you can't really do in a way you would do it on a Space Marine tank because of the camo and the overall style.

On your yellow-ish vehicles a very dark brown ("red primer", or "rust tracks" by mig for example) might work best. A very dark grey also works well.


An alternative (not as good looking, but again.. taste) might be a subtly drybrush with a dust color over the whole vehicle.

You're judged on what you do and not what you say.
At the end of the day, people on the thread contribute with actual efforts (painting). You're less likely to shitpost about something you spent hours and hours and hours on end.

It might be a black and white opinion, but I kinda relates that to manual jobs vs intellectual jobs.

I feel like all the people in my family and that I know that works a manual job, like electrician, woodworker, house builder, etc, are more honest, trustworthy, and "real" if that makes sense.

Think you goofed there bud. Color scheme plus the mouth make it look too tzeentch. Since it looks like your trying to do a "Brazen bull" khorne/slaanesh thing i really think you missed the mark. Could be saved if you use purple from here and lots of gold for the ornaments but i dunno. Your choice.

And this is the opinion that is killing wip. This thread was about a combination of both manual and intellectual work. Now it is all about what is displayed "perfectly" in a picture, and God forgive if the picture isn't shot like something for a magazine. This board, and by connection this thread, has gone to shit.

>>50599576
Perhaps some Kriegers, maybe the engineers? They're a bit less "heroic scale" than the GW Cadians.

>>50599618
Maybe, but for gaming purposes I'd rather have a power weapon. I'll have to add some more power-y bitz to it.

As for the bitz, the left hand is from a BoP power sword, and the right hand & haft are from a WHFB kit, possibly some kind of Elf unit? I'm not entirely sure as I got the bit in a trade, and I can't find it online, sorry.

Rubber expands in cold and contracts in heat.

I saw a dumb fucker locally who didn't heed my warning about not using monkeymuck. Assembled and panted nicely a rhino, then left it in the trunk on a winter evening overnight to find out that it had bust appart at all of the seams. It was reportedly a bitch to repair, since he had to scrape off all of the ape adheasion off before he could get anything to bond again properly.

>>50600303
i only ever used the superglue but im guessing it uses a similar formula.

>>50591905
>Gets told to make new thread so he can post his stuff and get replies
>makes thread, posts stuff, no replies

Feels bad, man.

>>50600334
As mentioned, even their CA, aka superglue, is a ruberized product. It's why this rhino popped, and why their product suggestor on the website doesn't even suggest their CA for plastic on plastic bonding.

>>50591905
Again I reiterate, /wip/ sucks. The reason, people like yourself anon post pictures asking for help and either bitches reply or you get no reply at all.

Not today anon, i am here to help. I would say use red for the tattoos. It would contrast against your colors, matches the flavor of DE markings, and if ya wanted you could take the work/time to make it look like branding instead of tattoos.

My critique of your models is that the lighter highlights on your armor is to messy. Simple fix, use black to trim some of those lines down. The wing themselves look cool af and i will be using your pic to help with my mass painting of my scourges.

Keep it up my fellow pointy-eared, tourture loving, pirate anon.

>>50600443
It also bonds an absolute ton of water, which is why cold quite destroys super-glue (hint, water expands when it freezes), not because it's a "rubber" material. It's an acrylate crystal once set.

What am I doing wrong, am I not mixing the paint properly or is it too thick/watered down?

Constructive bully pls.

>>50600538
Yeah man that's totally why only his vehicles popped seams in 15F and mine didn't.

The fucking product page suggests against using their product on anything outdoors, and says that while the bond can withstand extremes(as can other CAs) they warn against expansion and contraction because the product has rubber in it.

It's a good product for repairing your broken transformers or other toys that stay inside, see impact, and aren't painted projects.

It's not a safe product to use on minis because the rubber can expand and ruin your assembly and paintjob.

>>50600086
The problem is, you can have the best, most thought out idea in the world, but if it's executed like shit, it'll be treated like shit.
On the other hand, the simplest methods of painting, but done perfectly will always be appreciated.

See Red Talons anon for an example. No fancy techniques, no grand idea of revolutionary conversions. It's simple stuff, but done flawlessly, and it gets all the (deserved) praise on the world.

>>50600675
Red and yellows are among the lightest colors and you typically do not try to put them on top of a black primer/basecoat for this exact reason. You want white primer/basecoat if your scheme is mostly red, yellow, or white. If you only have SOME red, you go with a grey primer/basecoat.

>>50600675
Way to much water. The paint should be link pen ink. If you see seperation of the paint from the water you done mucked up.

Paint job is still in progress. Armor will be gold/brassy, and I might tone down the blue slightly to match my daemonettes, but all my daemons are blue (just different blues).

The chest mouth came from this art piece, which was the source of inspiration for the whole thing (mask, tentecle dreads, scissor hands).
I might add some tattoos as well if I feel up to it. Those will probably help push the Slaanesh vibe.

But the problem is everyone on here thinks people are all experts. This board was/should be about constructive criticism on all level, from beginner to expert. The board is call /work in progress/ not /lets all stroke our egos showing off what we can do/.

Someone in this specific thread, might be yourself anon i have to figure, said opinions on here are black and white. That is bullshit, /wip/ a year ago wasnt about that. It was about fostering skill so we could all grow as a community.

Example. The OP of this board was told to make a new thread so he could have a chance to post his work so other could help him progress. Not a single person said anything for 80+ post. That is crap.

/Wip/ has become a elitist thread. With the majorty of skilled painters straight up leaving the hobby because it has become to pricey this board has, in the aftermath, become nothing more then 12 year old SM players who have been painting since they were 8 showing off their "skills" to other 12 year olds.

Ages might be skewed but same mentality.

>>50600086
>>50600536

I think you are a bit to harsh.
Yes, its sad that sometimes average minis or pictures don't get replies. I'll come to that in a second.
If the pic is shit, then the comments will be shit as well. It takes maybe one or two minutes to copy a pic from a smartphone to a computer, open it in paint, resize it to 44%, maybe cut the borders away a little so its only the mini and not the whole room and then save it as jpg.
If you spend hours to build and paint something than you certainly have these few minutes for a decent pic as well if you want some replies.

Now about the lack of comments at acceptable stuff: For example these eldar minis (>>50591905 )
, i saw the pic, looked at them and i couldn't think about a suggestion for colors. I'm sorry but thats how it is, and before i start shitposting or give advise out of my ass i prefer to say nothing in the hope that someone with a better idea or simply more creativity can give a better answer. I assume thats the case for many people in here. Next example is >>50597849
Not a great pic at all, but people gave advise (me among them), because i think i know a thing or two about historical minis and painting tanks.

Yes, it might be frustrating to get no replies but nobody gets ignored on purpose or forever. Maybe next the update photo of these eldar minis will get more comments. Don't get discouraged so easily!

>>50600617
You probably still can clean the airbrush with it. Alcohol is Alcohol..

>>50601081
>With the majorty of skilled painters straight up leaving the hobby because it has become to pricey

I doubt it.

Lots of "old" people are still here. (For example, i know for a fact that almost 80% of last years Secret Santa participants did sign up this year again) And even if some guys quit, a lot of new people joined like its always the case. (SS again, last year it was 15 people, this year its almost 80).

>/Wip/ has become a elitist thread.

That is simply not true. If anything the "THIN YA PAINTS" shitposting has become less frequent if someone posts something really bad. People in general are still extremely helpful in here.

>>50600939
Ok cool. Didn't know your scheme and blue daemons ain't something out of the ordinary, seen alot of daemon armies sporting blues. I am not a fan personally but that is what your going for so more power to ya.

I can see the whole thing in my head now and i get what your goign for, plus the pic help :p lol. I am a fan of your paint job and sculpting either way. Fellow deamon anon here bud, post more pic in the future. Would love to follow your progress.

>>50601158
Plastic or metal minis?
If metal: Acetone from your local Bauhaus or Obi. Just drop it in and the paint will go away.

If plastic: mellerud pvc-fußbodenreiniger, either from a Baumarkt or from Amazon

Soak the plastic mini over night in the Mellerud stuff and then brush it with a toothbrush the next day and the paint will come off.

https://www.amazon.de/MELLERUD-Boden-Reiniger-Liter-2001010423/dp/B003U1KDLW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1481233965&sr=8-1&keywords=mellerud+pvc+boden+reiniger

>>50601081
except not, you obviously don't look at most wip posts. having people put a few highlights on models isn't a fucking elitist complaint, find me something in this thread that looks elitist.

Because there isn't any. If /wip/ wanted to be elitist, we'd be slamming down peoples throats asking them why they aren't doing nmm on everything, or correct blending techniques, etc, but no, most of it is simple praise with a bit of constructive criticism.

>>50601095

I wasn't expecting such a good response anon :D. I think you and i remember a better day of /wip/ where alot came in and alot came out. It was kind of a mecca for figuring out this hobby i would say.

And i should tone down on my harshness, true. I just feel this whole board is descending fast and i miss what we had before. It really is now a crab-shoot to see if you get noticed.

Use less water for basecoats, specially red over black.

I recommend you to use a "base" red color like mechrite red, a bit diluted but not too much.

If you don't have that paint first brown oer the black, then red over the brown.

>>50601375
A few details here:
The little electronic thingies on the hood would gain from being painted metallic, right now it is more of a blue, uniform mass.
A few bright edge highlights around the shoulders and hood might look good.
And finally, but that's mostly personnal opinion, I feel the ridge of the base would gain from being painted a darker colour, to give a stark contrast. But it's mostly a habit for me so I guess I'm just not used to non-black bases' ridges.

I'm here, and posting in almost every one, and theres barely anyone like that, not to the 'elitist' extent.

What would be a good color to paint the cloth bits on my Minotaur space marine scouts with bronze armor? I'm leaning towards an olive drab or sand color.

>>50601375
I like the cloak, but i don't think the green works well on an ultramarine. (i know there is a company with green shoulder pads or rims, but still..)

If i look at it, (besides the color of the cloak) i think the lips are the weakest spot. They almost look white.

Averland Sunset is really very yellow. Or maybe you've never seen brown paint?

>>50601375
>>50601484

Oh, and to make it a bit more constructive: You could try to add some (subtle) chipping effects to his armor, for example his leg. I think a bit of battle damage adds alot to space marines in particular.

>>50601500
that averland is more tan than yellow.

>>50601473

I read (and sometimes post) alot in painting and general hobby groups on facebook, and as funny as it might sound, they all are more toxic than our little thread here.

>>50601418
>There are some bullshit aggressors on these boards.

Like everywhere else in the internet. Keep in mind that we are on 4chan out of all places. Some people like to shitpost, but if you come to an imageboard regularly i just expect that you have the necessary media/internet competence to deal with shitposters or other kinds of "aggressors".

>>50601375
Its well painted, no doubt of that. But like the anon said it seems like the green doesnt go well with the blue and gold.
Meaby if you paint the cables in the staff also green, and put something green in the base, not only grass but a eldar helmet, a plant or something, i could make the green more in tone with the rest of the mini with minimal changes.

>>50601473
>not to the 'elitist' extent.

I looked through my /tg/-folder for a good pic with a marine with battle damage because i think if its done right it really looks great. I came up with pic related (not my mini obviously).

Have you used GW paint on primer? If so you'll need another base coat of either white, black or grey (white for red). The pot primer is only really for allowing your paint to adhere to the model, it's a sort of pre-primer.

>>50602149

I think you're using 'primer' where undercoat or even basecoat is more appropriate. We prime to allow paints to adhere at all, we undercoat if our primer isn't a suitable undercoat for the paint we want to use. It's nitpicky but less confusing than 'pre-primer'

Wrong.
Victoria Lamb was comissioned to do them for White Dwarf. They later made another appearance in the How to paint Space Marines book.
With that they are not done by a GW employee and they also didn't just appear once.
They're an official Chapter. Period.

They're also a play on Karate Kid, so they fit right in with the rest of 40k in terms of pop culture references.

and from the back

>>50604578
Pardon me? If you're asking what they cost, not nuch at all. I built a Fire Warrior box as Breachers, which leaves 10 heads and shoulderpads/backpacks, and 20 extra weapon sets (rifles/carbines)

Boxes of Cadians are 10$ for 5 guys. So with a little bit of work, you can get both options of the original box for 20$ more. Thats if you put a weapon, helmet, backpack, and shoulderpad on each guy. Im sure it could stretch to 15 cadians

>>50604778
Looking pretty good, the pattern on the coat is really nice.
I think that the hair could do with some work, the grey highlights looks really odd.

>>50604198
I like to think that you glued a half eaten churro to the front to get the same effect.

>>50604827
It's actually white, just hard to tell in the lighting I guess. Any suggestions? I didn't quite like how using only medium and light blue/purple/red looked on its own.

Thanks m8
>>50602596
Its actually paper with cardboard details. The turret in the middle is a flamer, you just can't see the ignition thing. Still got a fuckton of stowage to glue up for it before I paint it though.

>>50604926
I think you should try highlighting the specific colors instead of just straight white, lighter red for the red, blue for blue etc

>>50605282
Do you use a holepuncher and cardboard for the rivets?

>>50605336
I tried doing that but I didn't like how it looked. For example for the blues I used Caledor Sky, layered with some Teclis blue, then highlighted with Lothern blue.

>>50603239

Anyone?

Quick question from a noob - when people drill their bolters, how deep do they go? Just enough for the illusion of a barrel, or past the muzzle vents for realism? The latter seems risky

>>50605939
Somewhere in between. Deep enough to not just look you barely drilled the surface, but not deep enough to risk going through the model.

>>50605939
I alternate plastic tends to get deeper

>>50605975
Alright, I think I've done it right then. Did a pretty deep score with my exacto to guide the drill, thought "hey this looks better already", then drilled a bit "hey this is even better, but I better stop now". Might sound retarded, but somewhat on the right track?

If by "green" you mean the top one, that's supposed to be gold-yellow.
Also, the darker "metal" is copper.
I suppose I made the overlay a bit too thin trying to show the model's features clearly.

Will nurgle's rot strip away like regular paint? I got carried away painting Typhus with it.

>>50603239
I bought the SW ones for my mkIII armour, honestly pretty nice. One out of the 10 needed a bit of gap filling on the engine, but overall a very nice set.

From what I can see it looks well painted.
You should really put that resin base on a proper base though.
It looks like you based him on a cookie.

Mind you I love cookies as much as the next guy, but it looks kind of halfassed as (display?) base.

Mankind is probably the only animal with a fixation on right angles and perfect circles, but what can you do.

>>50607480
on the Space Wolf version it is

>>50606800
I like the last one because the white/red/silver one looks clean and has the strongest contrast.
The other ones aren't bad either, orange is the more original choice, although a very unusual heraldic color, but the way it came out in your mockup it looks very washed out.
If you are going for a neon orange that punches you in the eyeball with saturation when you actually paint the thing that's a different story then.

>>50607552

Ahhhh ok. I didn't realize they came marked like that. I just saw the pelts. That's pretty cool.

Anyway, thanks again. I'll probably order some with my next paycheck so I can start doing something with these 60 Marines...

>>50607397
that goblin shield in grey plastic looks like he is holding a tablet.
Kind of expected to see some mugs of ale on there.

Maybe the pose would look a little more natural if you angled the fist a little so the shield is not level with the floor.
Other than that nice models.

Adding to the chorus of "dark but not black recess wash", and some chipping but don't go overboard with it. Also, you might consider getting some typhus corrosion (a citadel technical paint). Aside from its obvious applications as mud-splatter you can get an extremely realistic "grimy grey-brown dusty vehicle undercarriage parts" look by slathering it on tracks and even tank wheels then lightly drybrushing silver. It doesn't look filthy, just like the bottom of your car.

Why does file size matter so much to you?

>>50608580
Remember earlier in the thread when people were saying there are a lot of pricks in these threads? Perhaps instead of being a cunt you could explain that folks 'round here don't like large images? You know, to encourage that person, who just said that they were new, to keep posting here? Or would you rather this be an elitist super secret club house like /a/ or /v/? And before you come back with "he should lurk moar" I'll counter with, just don't be a prick. Especially around the holidays when we are all feeling awesome from the Secret Santa.

>>50608733

Take your own advice.

>>50608733
Cause some of us have been around here for longer than "1 year ago" unlike you, newfag. Let's see if you can still stay on your high horse and soapbox after 4+ years of stupid idiots and faggots like you defending them.

>>50608733
>>50608769
>>50608783

None of this explains why people around here don't like large images. Is it a mobile data thing or what?

>>50608808

It's obnoxious and usually comes with no cropping, so the size is 100% unnecessary.

A while ago I an anon posted his Imperial Fists and when I asked about his weathering he pointed me to Tamiya weathering kits.

If your still around anon, could I get your method for how you painted your dudes? I got burning of Prospero as an early christmas gift today and want to make some roughed up fists.

Be careful with that Tamiya stuff. Last anon spilled a whole tub of it on his carpet and we're pretty sure he's dead.

>>50608937

You could probably achieve a similar effect with very thin glazes.

>>50609131
Let me specify. He told me what he did with the weathering, but I want to know what yellows and whatnot he used when painting them. Im not normally a fan of the color, but roughed up imperial fists look nice and his work on these models in particular I enjoyed.

Why don't you clean the parts of their clipping points and mold lines as you take them off the sprue?

>>50610132
Nobody will notice after the 3 colours + wash treatment.

>>50609193
Why if the scheme is white you painted him grey?

>>50610220

The nubs from where you clipped the parts off the sprue but did not scrape/slice/file the remains off will be noticeable, unless your paintjob is so thick and lumpy it completely hides it.

I'm not picking on you or anything. I miss some mold lines too, or am simply unable to remove them properly in the case of some Forge World parts, but things like these little nubs are very easily sliced off or sanded down before you glue the part together, especially when they are on such flat pieces. They're going to cause bumps when you paint.

>>50610295
>>50610220
Exactly this, especially with washes, which will pool around the edges of the clippings

>>50610295
>>50610220
i just wanna chime in and say go over them with the back of your hobby knife, takes about a minute, and it'll be fine. if you paint straight onto that, i'tll be visible.

Because I painted him over black primer and I might be retarded. And I just used what paints I had. The other time I painted a marine white I started with ceramite or whatever and it looked like shit.

I've officially started my Night Lords, aka half a model. This is my first time trying to make a really good base. The plan is to have them be on cracked streets and stuff with blood running in the cracks, which is why I'm going with cork.

Posting an obscenely large image is obnoxious, it's like posting your entire message in Capital letters, you don't don't do it

Not to mention the image Is difficult to view, makes your models look like ass.

You do *not* need to post a 5000 x 5000 4.99mb picture of your latest effort when you can do one of two things.

1. Use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.simplemobilephotoresizer&hl=en_GB to shrink the photo

2. Open Mspaint on your pc and reduce size by like 95

>>50610555

I do need to shave a bit down. I tried to get it to fit inside the top circle.

Also, I feel like I should have gone with a chain sword instead of a bolter because they're going to be terror squads, but this model is largely an experimental model.

Actually, looking at what comes in the box, idk how I'm supposed to model Chainsword and pistol because they're all bolstered with no hands

>>50610971
Aren't there chain swords stuck to the "belt" in that MK3 sprues?

I used the original mount and cowling to make a chest cannon for my stompa.

As is the gun piece itself is about 5 mm wider than the rotating baseplate for the original Razorback gun so im considering if i should drop the til function and just glue it straight onto the baseplate and hide the peg holes and fill in gaps.
