Once again, thanks a lot for your rare models Brit Anon, they are definitely appreciated.

I only got home recently hence why you didn't see your present posted sooner.

It's that easy... although not when you have this many to paint with tamiya clear red... by hand.

Nah, I don't play anywhere like that. Normally just stick to games with friends, if any at all. I'm mainly in it for the modelling and painting.

to those that remember, a few weeks ago i entered this model in a painting competition, and while it didnt win, last night the company that did the sculpt shared the photo from my page and i got like, 7000 page views. so that's a bonus :)

Moving from the HHG with my Blackshields project. I'm attempting to create a hybrid between the Iron Hands and the Iron Warriors paint scheme, I want unadorned power armor with a greenish tint or a copper green sort of thing.

This what I have prior to adding Biel Tan Green Wash and Warplock Bronze.

>>51010883
Rad.

As another Anon in the last thread stated, depressing scheme. I dig it.

>>51011051
I like it. But I'd say it looks more like a marine covered in algae.

>>51010904
I've been neglecting the hobby as a whole for far too long. Trying to get my steady hand back via terrain before I tear into the hundreds of minis I never painted. Probably not the best idea (as terrain is not nearly as scrutinized as minis), but at least I'm back into it.

There is a bit of the model that has the exact effect I wanted. I wanted the sort of milkier almost fog look.

>>51011248
Ahhh you want oxidised copper (?) effect I think. Have you had a look at GWs technical paint that does that? Nika.. something oxide or whatever it's called. It's real easy to use and leaves the exact effect I think you're looking for!

>>51011284
I just saw that, do you think it would look good over leadbelcher though? That would be perfect to have in the pauldron areas instead of black I think. Ideally I want both that blueish oxide color as well as the green one.

>>51011309
I'd say so. I used it mainly on the brass of my nurgle models but I can't see any reason why it wouldn't look good over leadbelcher. Give it a try and report back anon!

I hate it, but I built a Hammerhead "ion" turret out of spare parts till I spend the money on a real Hammerhead kit. $25 for the turret and gun alone secondhand was too much for me, so I made do.

Any paperhammer guys here?
I'm trying to papercraft a Warlord Titan with one of those PDF templates out there, and I'm trying to do it with a Cricut. For those unaware, a Cricut is like a printer but it cuts out and scores paper in very fine detail.

I was wondering if anybody here by chance knew of a way to convert a PDF into a file to be used by one, or of any pre-existing patterns for a Warlord Titan made specifically for a Cricut.

Thanks.

Any other Thousand Sons players finding that the Magnus model just doesn't fit together very well? It's mostly it's just long raised edges that need to be filed down after the gluing is done but I'm getting quite a few gaps, too.

That just me?

Anybody have tips for painting skeletons using mostly washes?

>>51012251
I'm a TS player but haven't bought my Magnus yet. Do you have any photos as examples please?

>>51012305

Huh, what? I was actually amazed how well everything fit. Only thing I had to do was greenstuff a small gap in the greaves because they didn't quite fit.

Mold lines and injection points are reasonably well hidden like with all newer kits.

Is their any companies that make valguly warhammer (or even 40k style) orcs, grots or squigz?

>>51012493
Kromlech makes a lot of parts for orks.

>>51012493
sure.
Check Spellcrow and Kromlech.

As for fantasy stuff there is a lot more. Especially old school goblins.

>>51012511
>>51012525
Forgot to mention I want cheep shit here, Sorry. Spellcrow and kromlech make alot of cool stuff, but I want a massive horde, and care little about the quality.

waaaaaaaaaagh

>>51012567
dunno man.
If you just want more models check ebay.
I probably have around 200 boys and that kind of just happened by accident.
To be fair that was when black reach was the starter so these days it might be a bit harder to find them, but still. Boys are dirt cheap.

As for non-GW orks, the only ones I can really think of are shieldwolf, but they are fantasy and I don't think they are much cheaper.
Maybe mantic marauders are cheaper?

But honestly I don't think getting boys cheap is gonna be hard, if you check the second hand market.

I keep getting small bubbles forming in my paint when I apply it to the model. What could be causing this? At a friend's suggestion I've added dish soap to break up surface tension but that hasn't really helped. Could my paint possibly be too thin?

i needed a break from space marines so i'm painting this skink starpriest atm

he's an albino so the skincolour goes from flesh/pink'ish on the front to white on the back. the feathers have more colordepth irl, i need to go and use my dslr instead of my phone but meh....

i just did de basecoat on the metal bits, some of them will stay silver, the rest will be painted copper/brass with nihilak and maybe i will do some gemstones if it doesn't clutter to much

Just finished two Hive Tyrants with kitbashed Twin Linked Devourers with Brainleech worms. I put the hooves on the flying legs and used Swarmlord parts for the head on the left one to give them some variation.

Oh and I need to paint them obviously. So I guess not "finished" per se.

Alright detectives, I'm looking to build this model myself. I've gotten the basics of it already:
Body is storm talon
Rear fins are from a valkyrie
Missile pod is from skyray
Assault cannons are from various kits, possibly broken up from stormtalon
Engines replace the missile launcher spots, holes left behind covered with sensor antennae from stormtalons.

But WHAT is that windscreen from? I can't figure it out, and I love it. Its sleek and aggressive, looks just like a shark.

>>51014003
Uhmm... Valkyrie maybe?

>>51014057
Looking at my valkyrie, it doesn't seem so.

>>51014003
Are you sure it's 100% GW plastic? that cockpit has no rivets on it.

It seems to be custom-built from plasticard.

>>51014003
looks like its built from plasticard to me. the edges don't really all line up and the openings aren't even

>>51014089
Not 100% sure. The inside slots look almost cut out, but the edges of the screen dont look glued, so I'm not sure if its plasticard, either. Its possible I can just leave the screen the way it is without a different bit. But the way it looks here is very sleek. Maybe the storm hawk panel will fit?

Also those arn't guitar marines.

So my dad wants to get himself a Leia Organa mini from Imperial Assault as a memento to Carrie Fisher, being his first crush, a huge Star Wars fan and all that and asked me to paint her for him. Was wondering what kind of paints would be decent to get for a color scheme similar to this.

>>51014895
Light grey, cream/bone, white, black, brown, your choice of skin tones.

Looking to start getting into greenstuff. Does anyone know of a good starter set, or should I just get a few units of it and a small clay sculpting set from an art store?

>>51014917
In hindsight, I really should've been more clear about what Citadel paints would work.

>>51014895
When it comes to the skin, for the love of god don't put her in clownface like that guy did.

>>51014895
wouldn't a bust/statue be a better option? The imperial assault leia is kinda.. well, 28mm and not super detailed.

>>51014921
clay tools are gonna be huge.
Look for wax carving stuff.

Though if you have something with the leaf shape and a round bit on the other side you got a tool that you can do 90% of your sculpting with.
The rest you can do with your finger, a blade and a needle.

Though I'm gonna say a clay shaper is a good investment. Those are silicone tipped brush handles that are great for smoothing out GS.
With those you can get everywhere your fingers can't get.

>>51014921
You can get cheap greenstuff in bulk online. I got two big ol sticks for 10 bucks on Amazon.

>>51014982
Can you hook a anon up?

Can someone recomend me an airbrush? My shitty 15$ amazon one clogged and broke when I wrenched off the nozzle, so I want to get something else. I'd prefer something with a 1/8th hookup since that's what my setup currently has.


https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005H3FMBW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 was the airbrush.

>>51014971
He's thought about a bust, but decent ones are either almost sold out or incredibly expensive. He also wants to put her up in his office, so a 30+ cm bust would be a bit too much of an eye-catcher.One alternative he's also considered was a 20 cm statuette, though that one only comes in a bundle with Luke and costs 100+€

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001AE5ZQO/ref=sr_ph_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1483503828&sr=sr-1&keywords=Green+Stuff

This has taken me a long way since I got it, but then again I'm not like making molds or sculpting entire minis with it. Just adding detials/arm bits here and there.

>>51015009
And here's a toolset for 8 bucks if you wanna get real detailed or moonlight as a dentist.

mate, gonna save you a ton of time on this. This is built from the dark angel flyer. Only custom bits are the cockpit, wings, and front spoiler/missile launcher. (Oh, and he removed the side tail wings). Assault cannons are probably glued directly into the heavy bolter ports on the flyer.

Looks pretty good, anon. The highlights on the right knee are a little thicc, but it'll be unnoticeable on the the table. I would definitely hit that face with a wash though so those fine details stick out.

>>51016011
Yeah that was my gripe with it, I need a finer brush for highlights. The face and shoes are the parts that arent quite done yet so yeah.

Clean your mould lines better with an x-acto knife, water your washes more. Look way too dirty. If you insist on keeping them in that shape add battle damage like paint scrapes and bullet glances.

I'm no Magnus player, but I am a customer of GW, and of their recent "larger" kits these days. And risking myself coming of as a shill, I still say this; If it doesn't go together like LEGO, you´re doing it wrong!

>>51016750
I don't even know. I was lamenting how much it would cost for me to run any number of bikes in an ork list, and my mate suggested converting something. And then another mate suggested using hormagaunts, and mork (or possibly gork) did the rest.

The cooked up some lore for them today if anyone is super interested but I really wanna know if they'll fit together. Anyone able to help me out in that regard?

I have hormagaunts, but no Orks. Their backs are about 2.2 cm across at their widest. Some work with a dremel and greenstuff should get those bikers on there though. I demand pics once this process begins. This is quite possibly the "rule of cool"-est thing I've seen in a long time.

Start with a base of chardon granite, drybrush with dark grey, followed by 2 additional layers of grey, wash with brown weathering powder mixed with a healthy amount of water.

Also, sand the base around the cork first. This you paint in regular browns and drybrush adding a bit of bone.

Finish of with a small grass tuft and you should be left with a descent result. What you need to work on is your execution, this cork for instance, its to round and to "perfect". What theme are you going for? Is it a bit of road, or a natural rock? Try gluing a larger cork piece on the base, let dry, and then "rip" it gently from the base to get a more natural looking edge. Finish by going over with a hobby knife in an attempt to create even more realism.

>>51017007
The new pots ARE shit.
IMOO the new washes, technicals and dry paints are the best.
If it's the actual pots you hate, you should try switching your stuff to dropper bottles.

>>51016969

The new range is easy fixed with a converter, just Google it and you will see what the new names are.

And to be frank, the new range is a 100 times more "newbie friendly" than the old range.
Hell, even a beginner using the colors and brushes recommended can get great results just following the now free painting tutorials on YouTube. See, things like that was just a fairytale when I started (literally years upon years before the internet became a thing....)

I was thinking a broken bit of road or otherwise more urban, which seemed fitting for the crazy batmans. It's hard to see in the pic, but I actually ripped it in half and glued it back together to make a sort of crack running through it.

What do you mean the base around the cork? The actual static base?

Also, would this work with Dark Eldar, too?

>>51017744
I advise a whole lot of Leadbelcher and Warplock Bronze.

>>51017744
break it up into as many sub assemblies as is reasonable

>>51017776
I was planning on breaking it up into
Left leg
Right leg
Torso

and keeping the armor plates on the legs seperate as well. Ive never really painted a vehicle before (other than a few Panzers I did with my dad as a wee boy)

Whereas this guy might as well have fallen out of 40k

I was too excited to have it and did not want to wait a week or more for a replacement. Once its cleaned up and I've got it painted I don't think it'll look bad, the main issue is that the top carapace plate (aka the single biggest piece) wouldn't bend enough to curve into place in both the front and back, so I chose to fit it in best as I could and, well you can see the rest of it. The rest is a combination of making joins seamless or covering over holes i made for pins - the shoulders are apparently designed to have space on either side of them but I didn't like it so they got filled in. Made me laugh when the manual says they've used the best techniques possible so you can get the best possible result but some work may be required.

As long as you're happy is the main thing

What set of paints do I need if I'm just starting out? How much am I reasonably going to spend if I don't need every shade of every color? I'd be fine with just colours I could mix to get other colours. Also, are "miniature specific" paints needed or will any old acrylic do if sufficiently thinned?

Dude, go to your local "fixer shop". I got mine at a place that sells everything from toasters to DVD-players, if they got a tool´s section, you're bound to score.

I bought mine for $10.... yep, thats it, $10, with hose, and two extra caps (one lid can and one large open can) on the side.
Its no Iwata or harder & steenbeck, but will work just as well if your on a average armature level.
Hell, even painting studios such as Awakened realms say they rather buy cheap shit that breaks and can be replaced, for less money than just a spare needle to one of the larger "better" brands. And if they can produce good enough quality to be the nr1 commission painters in the world, it should be good enough for the rest of us (not trying to score a golden daemon).

>>51018313

Better to take your time and know you are pleased with the results, than to do a rush job only finding it lacking in quality.

This hobby takes time, its just that simple, any thought of "Ill just finish this up quick", is a step towards disappointment. Sure, there are ways of painting faster, experience and the right tools for the job often do the trick, but it still takes time.

Err... a little while back when the internet already was a thing GW frequently uploaded some of the - very good - White Dwarf hobby articles to it's homepage, including painting tutorials and guides for making scenery from scratch etc.
The american page even had it's own hobby ezine updated regularly with original content.

>>51018924

>>51019590
So it's a brush from before the brushes changed naming, so the tip is probably worn out.

Buy a good small brush (citadel or other), keep it specifically for tricky details and take care of it with soap.

Other than that, you need to thin your paints so they flow smoothly and then control how much is on your brush so it doesn't flood the eye socket. Also try techniques you can find on youtube, like painting the socket dark and then just adding two dots of white.

Spent another £20 on paint again. Fucking LGS were out of both Leadbelcher and AP Plate Mail so I actually had to go to a GW to get some.

New player here, slowly working on a Blood Angels army. Been getting different ideas, and after looking through the codex, I want to make a Sanguinary Priest with a jump pack. Now, what models would I splice together to actually have that sort of thing? I imagine I could easily take a basic assault marine, but I'm not sure where I'd find a narthecium arm. Any suggestions?

>>51012010

a skin tone and a wash for the skin
a black and a metal for the guns
and i think a brown?
theyre in 3ml pots instead of 6ml so theyre like a mini kit, but that will still last you a long time.

The Third Edition Blood Angels Honour Guard came with a metal Sanguinary Novitiate. His right arm (which I believe is actually a Reductor rather than a Narthecium) is a separate bit.

Since a Sanguinary Priest can buy extra wargear and relics, though, might I suggest you do something else to differentiate him? For mine, I used an Apothecary's torso, but it was more important to show that he had a Blood Chalice (available in the Blood Angels upgrade blister) and Valour's Edge (Third Edition Terminator Captain's power sword) than a Narthecium. Also, his being painted up in white rather than all red will help him stand out.

>>51020758
Not bad. Solid tabletop standard for a regular troop choice.

>>51020758
you need to put something under the snow, and paint it less thickly.

>>51021077
The snow is perlite, there's no paint on it. I do admit the coverage isn't great, though. It's a son of a bitch to work with, I just tried it because that's what I had in the garage. I might scrape it off and pick up some play sand or something.

>>51020837
Second good move recently, along with the troop/transport boxes they've put out for each faction.

>>51021181
>troop/transport boxes

I really hope those stick around, I need more drop pods and paying full price for them is depressing.

Why do I always have trouble spraying models? I feel like on some I have real trouble getting the paint where I want it, like on a space marine I find the paint doesn't go into the sides of the torso very well.

>>51020535
How do you go about painting that yellow?

>>51021358
The main reason why I bought an airbrush is bzcause it's much easier to control than a spray can, and I'm tired of doing basecoats and primer by brush.

ugh I used brush on primer for the first time on an entire model and it made my khorne cultist look sorta grainy/thick despite the fact that both the primer and paint were pretty thin

I think I'll probably just keep him this way since it's not too bad from a distance and he'll be among a horde of other dudes, but how to avoid this?

>>51025125

I used to have the exact same prob, before I switched to using Gesso for brush-priming. I think some paints just suck for priming. Try Gesso or otherwise look at the paint itself, maybe theres a problem with that.

So I didn't paint it, a friend did ages ago and I can't find those pictures. I mostly helped by providing the narthecium & apothecary shoulder pad, and pinning the foot so he can hang at that angle (the foot doesn't actually touch that pillar).

All this was for a 30k Deathwatch game, so strictly speaking this character was just an apothecary.

guys, I need help.

Currently, I'm waiting for my two Lords of Nurgle to arrive (pic related) and I'm going to convert one of them into AoS, and the other into 40K. Now, I want them both to be mostly, if not completely armored, and I need help with how to make this work.

my current plan is to remove the arms completely and maybe re-work the standing pose a bit for both. Here comes the crux of my problems:

*for the Age of Sigmar one, I originally intended to use some of the armor "fronts" that came with the Putrid blightkings, and sculpt a back for it using greenstuff. thing is, I performed a Dry-fit with an older lord of nurgle I have lying around, and it won't work with the stomach being as large as it is. Any ideas on how to re-work this? I was thinking of maybe cutting the armor off at the stomach area, use an old Ogre gut-shield and join it together with the armor, in sort of a Smough from Dark Souls kind of way. Could that work?

*For the 40K lord, I am currently thinking of power-armor torso to build upon, but I am unsure in which general direction and style I want to take it. Again, I want it more armored than Fleshed - maybe with holes in the armors themselves where you can see guts and the like. Maybe I should draw inspiration from the Forgeworld Plague marines?


Any tips and suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Have this old un-finished chaos spawn for your troubles.

Not sure if I got this right. But if I understood correctly you want to use the Blightking armor, but the Nurgle Lord's belly is too big?
Simple fix, cut the belly off and put the Blightking armor piece where you want it.
Rebuilding the shaft of the axe is gonna be easier than sculpting the armor yourself.
And I think the Ogre gutplates might be too big.
I only have the Ogre stuff though, no Nurgle Lords or Blightkings for comparison.

On the point of scale, aren't the Blight Kings about as big as the Nurgle Lord anyway?
Can't you just build the model entirely with the BK kit?

If you cut the belly cleverly you could paint it like an armor plate.
You know, put the belly onto the mini, add a raised edge with rivets like on the other Death Guard models and then just paint it like a giant piece of gut armor, through which his insides are already spilling out.

Putting him into Power Armor might be tricky cause his shoulders are so wide.
If you put regular PA shoulder pads on him, you already got a good bit of the look, but the neck, chest and arms are gonna require some sculpting of armor to make it look convincing I think.

>>51026042
>Rebuilding the shaft of the axe is gonna be easier than sculpting the armor yourself.
oh, both of the arms will go, too. I will give him new weapons/a greatweapon instead, using other bits. But I see your idea.

>On the point of scale, aren't the Blight Kings about as big as the Nurgle Lord anyway?
>Can't you just build the model entirely with the BK kit?
yes, and no. They are about the same height, and close to similar width, but the NL is fatter, and slightly wider.
I also don't have that many parts over from building my BlightKings, so there's that.

Brilliant! That could work excellently, and wouldn't use too much greenstuff either!

I'm going to be building a Kataphron Destroyer mostly from scratch, but I have a problem with the track-unit.
Really don't have any track bitz lying around and don't feel like sculpting the whole shebang from putty.

Any good ideas how to build a track unit?

>>51024944
You can stick mixed greenstuff in the freezer to retard the curing process; you're probably OK.

>>51026553
Don't; buy an appropriately sized aftermarket track kit for a model tank (or maybe just cannibalize a tank kit) and build around that.

Anyone got a huge list of colour schemes? I'm having trouble deciding for my skitarii

>>51014003
Those assault cannons are specifically from the land speeder kit
the flyer body and engines are from the Dark Angels Jetfighte

>>51024944
I store my unmixed green stuff in the freezer so it'll keep longer. I've never had any issue with it other than the annoyance of waiting for it to thaw before I mix up a batch.

you cannot. you got gyped.

>>51027339
You can buy spears for historicals.
Dunno what the FW kit looks like, but the historicals are usually just a brass rods with a sharpened tips, so if the details on the end on the model in the pic aren't just a resin piece you attach you might have to find something else to replace that.

long time lurker here, decided to post something, and i dont see many necrons around here. i painted my army a while ago but i just dont know what to do with the bases. any suggestions? i keep thinking that anything other than grey ash is going to clash with the models.

>>51027841
oh and this model was to a degree a failcast but i salvaged what i could (the eye and loincloth, the crown and the bottom blade were beyond me)

>>51027841
since the model itself is pretty bright a dull base would probably act as a nice contrast to it. Like you said other colours would probably clash too much.
My thoughts on the actual paintjob is that the silver could probably stand to be a bit neater and maybe a little brighter.

>>51027923
yeah i was going with a grimy dirty theme, matches the fluff of my ever in action necron spec ops army

>>51027841
Looks like shit.

Strip it and try again, then you can worry about the base.

Is there a rolling image or a list of chapters that use the majority MKIII armor? I know the iron dudes, but not sure of many else, I'd ideally like to go Tzeentch or Slaanesh CSM with them

>>51028025
I think you should dirty up the gold more then, at the moment it's really jarring to have random patches of nice cleaness compared to the overall grimy look.

>>51027841
you could get that resin stuff that dries and cracks and paint it dark grey with light drybrush for a dead planet look or go for a desert sand base.

>>51016280

Looking good. For a first mini, this is even superb! (hell, my first was one of those old lizardmen which I painted with dried up hobby paints without a base coat!).
What you could do is to give that gold tablet some more depth (shade and highlights), and make the eyes pop by adding some orange to yellow to white mix, focusing on the center of the eyes.

This is a great start anon, hope you get more stuff up!

>>51017644

I always finish my bases except adding tufts and static grass, and paint it with the rest of the model. So yes, base coat it with the

I need some help with Shadowsun's legs. I got the 3 stealthsuit legs provided in their box but I'm too uncomfortable to modify them, especially not without a plan of where to cut and how to repose.

I want to repose them as such, basically like she's floating and resting her left hoof partially on a piece of log or rock. Would anyone have any tips on the cuts needed to make it look good please?

Looking for some help. I'm starting a space marine chapter, using the Imperial Fists as the original chapter (and rules). However I am lost on an idea for a paint scheme. Share with me some of your home brew paint schemes and lore please. so I can get some inspiration to make my own.

>>51028482
I think this one looks kinda crowded. Perhaps something other than number of fins? The base concept is good, though.

What program are you using to model these?

Thanks. I was thinking I could use notches, but they're a bit harder to implement without destroying the aesthetics of the model or adding small details that are hard to print.

Are either of these two arrangements easier on the eyes or look less crowded? I rearranged them to give a bit more room in the front.

I'm using Blender to model these. I really need to learn to use OpenSCAD or FreeCAD, but I just can't find the time to.

Alright, after painting up a model that I was more than pleased with and it getting throughly ruined due to shitty satin varnish, I'm in a bind. What do you guys use for varnish finishes? Bonus points if it can be brushed on.

Watch duncans tutorials on painting guard tanks. Or find a tutorial on painting ultramarines.

Basically youve already applied a dark blue. If you want camo pattern or some other stencil design apply that now in a second colour. Wash next. Then you have the option to highlight by hand (or airbrush) or to drubrush a highlight. Then go back and paint the individual details (air intake blades, cockpit and handrails ect). Then paint the sections of the canopy that require painting. Seal the rest of the model before gou glue to canopy into place with pva/wood glue.

Starting up my tau army and going with a forest theme. The infantry is going to have green armor (caliban base) with brown fabric beneath (either a wood color or something more beije). But I'm stumped for the suits, I think green would look poor on them but I still want them to fit the theme.

Closest idea I had come up with was a dirty gray, almost like stone or a rainy sky with some darker browns mixed in but I'm not sure, any ideas?
