This is absolutely why I'm hesitant to deal with resinshit and will pick older metal versions of finecast every time. If anything, I'd rather commission someone to jeopardize his lungs for me - the excellent painting on the resinshit mini being a secondary bonus.

If you're grinding resin (like filing it) then you should wear a dust mask or respirator or something because the particulate gets up in the air and it's bad for your lungs.

>>50763781
25mm is what non-heroic 28mm basically refers to.
28mm is a term later coined because GW stuff didn't fit to anything else.

If you put reaper and GW stuff next to each other it mostly looks fine.
Some of the reaper minis lean more towards true scale than heroic, but GW is also absolutely inconsistent on that front.
If you buy IG models from FW those will be truescale and IG models from GW are heroic. Strictly speaking you can't even mix all GW ranges.

Finally got my Acolytes painted to a point that I'm satisfied with them. Did a wash of Nulin Oil on their base, added some Biel-tan green to the bone daggers to help them stand out more, and then did liberal layers of Blood for the Blood God on their steel daggers.

Those are the Acolytes. They're still early in the Tyranid generations, so their eyes get to be fucked up.

The Neophyes, however, are supposed to look human... so, normal eyes which, given that I've only ever painted Tyranids up to this point, is going to be hard.

>>50766068
If you can't decide then Steel Legion Drab highlighted with some Bone/Tan/Khaki is the safest. It's extremely neutral and works with almost everything.

Often times you can get a more interesting result if you choose a base color to contrast your mini, but that's certainly not the only way to do it. Here's some links for ideas.

How do Secret Weapon's washes compare to GW and Vallejo's? I recently got a Army Painter dark tone ink, but it is almost a glaze rather than something that really goes in the recesses like I want.

So I've decided that for Christmas I'm going to try and surprise my brother by finishing his Chaos Daemons army for him. I was coaching him through the process a few years ago but due to work and general frustration over trying to paint the models he kind of gave up on it for the last year or so.

Normally I would be feeling pretty grim about doing this many models in a short span of time, but it's just a dip paint job for the most part. He's also got a Skulltaker on a Juggernaut that I feel deserves a bit more attention, so I'll do that one the old fashioned way, like I did for his Daemon Prince a while back. He also has some flesh hounds that haven't been assembled yet.

I dipped my Space Hulk set and I was overall satisfied with the results. I got most of that project done in a marathon paint session, at least for the Gene Stealers. Dip is not as nice as I'd want for my personal WH army, but in my case I don't mind touching up the paint on one of my minis if for some reason it gets scuffed. My brother mostly wanted something that would be durable and would look passable without having to slave over, and a dip job is fine for that. Although even that much proved to be more hassle than my brother had time for, considering he really doesn't enjoy painting and I do. He's more interested in actually playing the game while I'm more into the model making aspect.

>>50767466
Out of curiosity, do those conversion trays measure out to the correct footprint for the daemons on the left? I like the set up so far.

I personally think that dips are nice, but for bright colors you may want to wash things the good old fashioned way. The Nurgle daemons shouldn't care of course.

>>50767508
>Out of curiosity, do those conversion trays measure out to the correct footprint for the daemons on the left? I like the set up so far.
The ones he has right now don't. I was going to give him some conversion trays that are the correct footprint but I currently only have one and they're on backorder at Noble Knight (which is the only place I know that has them).

I get what you mean about the colors although my Blood Angels for Space Hulk turned out pretty good. The key is that I used a power drill to shake off the excess dip so it goes on nice and thin. Keeping the dip from globbing up before it dries is crucial to making dip look good, and for things like eyes I use a little compressed air to make sure it doesn't pool around them too much.

So this is the first mini I've tried painting. I tried to absorb as much as I could from Saint Dunc and from what I see on here, but I just can't quite seem to ever get my paint to look as smooth as I'd like it to, despite making sure to usually thin my paints.

Anybody got some criticism or tips to help me git gud at painting? I'd love to know how people manage to get such nice, smooth, consistent coats, or if my hand is gonna ever stop shaking around detail work with enough practice.

I'm conflicted fellow anons, I need advice
>be me, buy warhound titan nearly a month ago
>it's buggered when it arrives, much of the fine detail is missing, get in contact with forgeworld, they arrange to send me a full replacement after the guy contacting me has checked it himself
>someone bungles it, they send it out without the dude checking it, he's surprised - because I get it delivered to my local GW he gets one of the staff to check it - who finds it has no problems - and says if its no good he'll send another one
>collect it yesterday, get it home, check over it in myself, sad to find its still got plenty of issues - there's slightly less overall problems but the ones it does have are more severe, all of the large pieces have major mold slips, fine detail is missing, bits are damaged, holes in lots of the thin fine detail

Should I contact them again? It feels like I'd be taking the piss if they send another one out, especially after the store dude didnt find a problem (though the rest of my friends say send it back.)

If you're looking for rivets a cheap and easy way is to get a water purifier filter and crack it open into a small tub, you'll get a lifetimes supply of various size balls good for rivets of all sorts. Would cost you like £8 total including the tub.
>you can also get some really thin styrene tubing that'll fit inside a mechanical pencil ( believe it's 035" /0.88mm) dab a spot of glue where you want it and click a piece out.

>>50768076

I'm cropping and sorting them now for upload, I've got a lot of them

>>50767988
You're not off to a bad start although it definitely looks like you should have thinned your paints more. The consistency of milk is what you want it to have on your pallet (though not necessarily in the pot). There will be some applications where thicker paint is needed, but for general painting you want to keep it thin and work in layers.

And of course, practice practice practice. Your first try isn't going to be a masterpiece but if you keep trying you will get better. For a first try that is a good effort, and I can tell you've been studying techniques rather than going in blind.

You're right, you only get two shoulders. If you want to magnetise then you need to do it at the elbow.

Makes sense. Is there a clear joint, or will I need to do some surgery?

>>50768274
Honestly, I don't think it's that bad. It's basically big moldlines at this point. I can understand not wanting parts with holes in them but moldlines and warped parts that you need to fix are normal on resin models.

Between the two kits you have from them, can you produce at least one high detailed Warhound?

If note, then after dropping a few hundred quid; the price of a weekend away, a high end GPU or 6 weeks of food bills, I would ask for a replacement again.

Mold slips would be fine if they weren't worse than the previous one they sent you.

Insist on returning this one, even if it's only to your local GW store (so they can use it) so they know you're not trying to con them into getting more free stuff.

Explain you have seen the model with these particular details presented crisply and ask if they need to investigate some of their molds being used beyond recommended amount of casts before switching to a fresh one?

It comes across as you want them to do a good job, not to rinse them.

On the other hand, if you build both, you have 2 warhounds for the price of 1!
Regardless that there are some shitty details that will take a lot of sanding and Greenstuff work to resolve.

Don't forget to wash off the release agent if you do commit to beginning work.

>>50768757
>Between the two kits you have from them, can you produce at least one high detailed Warhound?

Sadly no, they both have shared problem areas, some of which are identical to each other. I'm about just over half way to having a detailed one. They told me I could use the first busted one as a wreck marker and I've just written them with the pictures and what you suggested about possible bad moulds and if I should return it directly to them or to the store to make some terrain out of.

The reason I'm having so much trouble deciding what the problems are is that im not experienced with FW resin, so i don't know if this is common or not - judging from the response of the customer support dude it isn't. I've even had some chinese stuff before that isnt anywhere near as bad as this.

>>50768921
I'll be honest, and I don't complain much, but if I paid literally hundreds of dollars for a single high-quality product I would make damn sure I'm getting my money's worth. Like the other anon said, you can even offer to give back the poorly cast versions so they don't think you're try to fleece them.

Worked on some ultras ages ago, you might remember some I posted over the past year or two (alot of people seemed to like my blue armour)

Anyways decided to pull them back out and start work on a display type of honour guard squad featuring Cassius, Calgar, tigurius, sicario maybe more.

It's all still very work in progress so I'll just dump some pics

have basically a kitbashed a half painted sicario, probably will snap the arm off prime then repaint and touch up entire model. May strip and repaint afterwards if it looks too dodgy.

Any thoughts/feedback would be good.

That's the funny part. I've also gotten several Chinaman recasts of one-off and special event minis and they were, for the most part, if not flawless, then nearly so.

>>50768921
Yeah that looks like maybe they got a new guy in FW and he's using too much release agent, and the fluid is sitting in the flat area or detail, stopping the resin getting a flat surface. It shouldn't really be THAT shiny.

If you paint it, it will automatically look like you used lumpy thick paint.

Definitely not the end of the world, but not good.

am actually quite proud of the 3rd powerfist guy, i spent so long on it and i think the paint is tiny bit thick in some areas but there's where my main aim of improving is atm getting thinner coats/achieving same results with less layers.

(also for my calgar, i don't like the model too much, looks way too cluttered for an ultra tacticool d00d imo so i'm gonna buy a china cast asterion moloc of minotaurs body, file some stuff, maybe change/repose the legs and kitbash between new tartaros termies and the $10 finecast Calgar i ordered and have already. I really like the new tartaros powerfists, think they'd suit calgar well, the poses on them are so much more fluid looking and i want to pull of a model with some character to it)

oh and i want all the ultras i do to have that sixpack armour because i think it fits the roman aesthetic they already have going and for a honour guard squad would look amazing.

>>50769396
Your blending is a lot better than mine has ever been, and if you complete an army of these guys I'm sure it'll stellar on a table, like really.
Like your idea for Calgar, the Tartaros fists are much nicer, and if he's painted as well as your other dudes then he should look glorious.

>>50769868
The blue/green color looks spot on. Well done.

It is. I had a ton of them from buying so many DV sets for cultists and Helbrutes.

It should be attached quite sturdily, you can probably break bits free with a little violence, but it won't just break off.

>>50772241
The thicker you make the layer of Iron Earth the larger the chunks will get, and the larger the gaps become.
A thin layer will give a really fine flaking pattern, while a thick globbed on layer will give you the dried / cracked earth type look.

The distance between chunks increases with their size, but are otherwise completely random.

>>50772080
the thing i love about the whole word bearer stuff is: there is no doubt if the gods exist. you dont need faith just the will to follow them. so when the dark apostle cuts open a poor cultist only to read inside his guts you blindly follow because you know your gods are real. insane but real

>>50768057

When you buy a model for $280 (body only) from a company that claims it makes the best models in the world, you damn right you send it back unless its near perfection!

I bought a Chinese copy of a Cerastus Knight-Atrapos and it was close to fucking flawless! I know I was lucky (from the horror stories I have heard), but if a underpaid yellow motherfucker like the one I ordered from, can create such masterpieces, Forge world should be above your expectations!

This is my 4th model ever, tried to go for a ghost rider flaming look.
The cloak on the horse was made a lot before the rider, which is why it doesn't look very flamey.
I tried to keep the horse's cloak tone on the rider, but on the other hexwraiths I achieved a better look (will post a pic with the wip of them from around a month ago, now they are all finished and better right now).

Do I need to fix anything? Could you rate this?

>>50772681

>>50772748

Also these are the minis from a month ago.

>>50772967
Hmmm, better lighting there. The blend where the fire ends could use some work. There appears to be a clear line where it just sort of stops, even if the line is curved. I would try to smooth that transition so the fade to black is more natural.

Pulp City dudes, 2 original Warp Spiders, a cool Ranger type character, a Tau man (who will feature in a diorama about to be pounced on by GSCultists)

Very cool and thank you, Merry Christmas

>>50773072
Should I smooth it with mephiston red or mournfang brown? I saw that they are both valid colorr

>>50773150
Very nice. That Tau would be perfect too, he has a scanner in one hand and a rifle one-handed. Going for some Aliens-esque Colonial Marine, 'the scanner says theyre right on top of us,GAME OVER MAN' diorama?

>>50773072
A good way to achieve this is to just use Nuln Oil to slowly build a gradient that blends the red into the black.

That, or you can mix red and black together and paint layers going further out from the red, slowly adding more black until you're painting pure black.

Good job on the effect though for first time painting. You have a SOLID knowledge of basics (i.e. THIN YOUR GOD DAMN PAINTS).

Only thing I can say is widen your variety of colors on those models. Faded leather colors, some metallics and a touch of gold here and there would go a long way on the mini. They don't have to be big bits of leather either, just putting leather on the reins, straps etc.

the devil is in the details anon, and make sure you paint every detail.

>>50773228
Thanks for the help and the compliments!

By the way, you can't see the new stuff I added in that pic: sparking eyes, metallic scythes, helmets and chains.

The rest I would have liked to keep it that way, or else the ghost feel would have disappeared

Or give the silver a bit of a colorful tint, a bit like the Alpha Legion, but way way less color.

Paint them the exact shade of GW plastic (an airbrush will help), but still paint in all of their details.

>As you can probably guess I spent a while on the marble/porcelain texture and did the rest quite quickly! It was a fun experiment and involved lots of careful applications of chemicals, varnishes and paints, waiting to see if there would be some horrendous reaction. But luckily it all went well I think. I’m kinda hoping the Stormcast Eternals don’t get any really cool new units because I am not sure I can face painting more of them.

What is your loadout for the inevitable wompout, fellow moisture farmers?

Tried some bases. I think they look okay but a bit too similar, would some GW grass change it up? Any suggestions?

Alright /wip/, I'm planning a dark eldar cronos conversion and could use some help. I want to have a guardsman impaled on a spike or something next to the spirit probe, and I'm wondering what I could do to suggest he's in the process of having his soul drained. Right now I'm thinking I try to paint his face to look all shriveled and maybe greenstuff some whispy tendrils going from his body to the probe.

>>50776807
Some wasteland/dry grass tufts (no idea how GW calls theirs) will certainly help.

I just really liked the Ashen Circle and their colour scheme. Initially I was really miffed loyalist WB are not a real option rule wise, but Zardu is just amazing.

I also really like Hol Beloth, WB really got amazing stuff in that book. I never read BL by the way, so I am just going by FW here.

If you're not going to scrape it off, at least integrate it into the paint design. Turn it into warpaint, make it scars, by the Emprah do SOMETHING. It looks hideous and lazy.

>>50777944
Also checked.

Oh he isnt nearly done yet. I scraped them anyway, i just hate seeing those so far in. They are so bad on the heads and legs of these sculpts

Looking good so far.

I just used the Retributor armour spray and I shook it for about 5+ minutes, it was in my inner garage and it came out dusty as fuck... not ruined but it's not smooth at all... bad batch? take it back?

>>50778435
Could be the temperature or humidity still. My attached garage gets cold enough in the winter that to properly spray paint in it I need to let a space heater run for a little while.

>>50778278
Thanks! I'll keep on it then.

Gold that looks like gold instead of dull bronze, nice, gj with the eye gems and forehead. Ridged horn looks good, colours?

>>50778381
Im sorry to hear that, anon. My condolences and please be safe traveling with so much on your mind.

>>50778452

I'll try with some test models then, frustrating as balls.

If I took it back to the LGS would they be able to swop it back with GW or do they take a loss / hit?

>>50778499

Depends on their policy with GW, if your spray is dusting your models i'd send it straight regardless.

I took back a pot of liquid green stuff that was a solid lump and the owner got all butthurt like i'd pissed on his kids. Sorry for wanting what i paid for.

How am I supposed to use gloss varnish? Am I supposed to use it to make shit look super shiny? I fucked up last night and think I didn't dilute it enough so the brush strokes were showing through and it was super sticky.

>>50764072
What's happening to chapterhouse exactly? Their site seems fine to me.

>>50779028
As far as I know, and according to their website, they're just super behind on producing orders. So if you order stuff you gotta wait a couple (few?) months for it.

>>50777763
Pls respond

>>50778929
>Am I supposed to use it to make shit look super shiny?

Exactly.

It also protects the paint below it and also makes the surface super smooth so washes flow better and decals are easier to apply.

>>50779120
I covered my land speeder with it cause I wanted it to look like an actual vehicle, but I had to take it off cause it was super sticky and not going on well.

>>50779144
don't do that anon.
That stuff makes minis look horrible.

If you use gloss varnish for any of the effects mentioned above, always cover it with one or even a couple coats of matte varnish afterwards to bring your paintjob back.

Why doesn't Duncan use an air brush?
Is it actually a mid tier crutch or are they afraid we can't afford one after spending 30£ on one model?

>>50767988

Thinning takes a little practice. Your really light colours over black primer aren't doing you any favours though- consider white primer for that scheme.

In order to thin your bone and whites enough that they layer well and don't get rough, do like Duncan says and pick up some acrylic medium (it's Lahmian Medium in GW's line). I find that if I thin my very light colours enough that they don't splotch over black they get a rough finish.

I've already eaten the Cadbury Caramel. I was in the UK for a couple of weeks about 15 years ago, and I knew that I couldn't exchange any of my coinage before coming home, so a lot of it ended up in those Cadbury machines you see at every tube stop.

Because:
You don't sell spray cans that way.
They're not a great option for people who need to be told to use a palette.
GW don't sell one anymore.
You don't need one to get a decent tabletop finish on a miniature in a reasonable timeframe, particularly batch painting.
