>>51192478
Can you please include a link to a reputable brush soap vendor in the general OP in future?

watching these new one and two minute gw painting tutorials with savior Duncan, and you can hear and feel how he's rushing his speech and actions to get the video under the allotted time, and it gives me a vague sense of anxiety.

I agree, so I'll fix that shit up. Also noticed my light setup is shit, so I'm putting in the effort to build a lightbox now

>>51188118
>Armor gaps
It's all stuck on with putty, it'll be fixed for final assembly

Also, anyone else recasting discs of tzeentch for the exalted sorcerers? I found a single disc to be pretty bullshit.

I threw my first couple miniatures away and now I feel bad that they're lying in a landfill somewhere, abandoned by the Emperor.

First 5 space hulk minis done

>>51193474
you should really get the gemstone paint. Those blood drops would look much better

>>51193372
I did the same. I got some tau and like 4 paints, painted them, realized I sucked and threw away like $70 worth of shit. This was all when I was way younger.

Now I've re-got into the hobby and spent even more getting everything but now my models look presentable and Im having fun. I feel bad for those thick painted horendous models probably crushed in a garbage heap and burned in an incinerator.

I was about 14 when I got into 40k, BT at that.

Got back into it at around 20. I still weep when I think about the 200-300 euros worth of marines thrown away, brand new, still on sprues.

I hadn't even painted a single one of them.

>>51193990
why'd you throw them away?

>>51194019
Mostly because my dad molested me and my priorities changed.

Why, after years hiatus from the hobby, I thought starting back up by painting Scavvies was a good idea... I have no idea.

Still plugging away at this gang. Not pic-worthy yet.

>>51194019
Moved out of the house, so my parents threw it away, and I have to admit I didn't think about starting again until long after they were gone.

>>51194183
really should have just opened one of your six mouths and sang the song that ends the earth

>>51194183
I know the feeling. The hobby is almost a trap if you're young. I feel as if you need to be at least 18+ to actually understand what the fuck you're doing in a way. Of course there are exceptions, but the younger the kids the less they realize what they're getting into.

>>51194345
I am a nurse and as of now make 80k+ year, so each paycheck I splurge on Warhammer and rpg shit.
It's great having a house, car, wife, and money to do whatever I want with.

anyone got like a size comparison between onager dunecrawler and a ghostkeel? I've never seen either of those models in play

I want to mount the ghostkeel body on the onager legs kind of like pic related but if the scale is off it'd look absoloutely bizzare.

>>51194978
paint the surface you want to do in gemstone either white or some other very light color. Coat it with a drop of gemstone paint and it will turn out really nice.

The red gemstone paint is alot harder to get a nice look out of than blue or green though, those two tend to turn out great every time

>>51193474
Blood drops on pauldrons should be painted

Crux Terminatus should be painted

While I like how dirty and battleworn they are, you got this effect from not taking your time. Alot of small stuff like the green paint you used for lights bleeding onto the light casings.

Overall, you did not do bad, they are good mini's, you just need to put a little more work into them and keep practicing.

just take as long as it needs to look good, maybe watch a guide on painting the eyes.

So how should I make a base look good?

Funny enough, I'm less intimidated about Celestine herself because she doesn't have pupils (could add those if I felt like it I suppose). Her bodyguards don't have the same effect on the box. Then again, I could just give them all glowing eyes.

>>51196171
duncan has a guide for celestine up on youtube, that should be a good intro for it.

Warriors are particularly bad because they have four arms and a dozen weapon options some of which use both arms to hold a gun and others that don't.

This is the most complicated model I've taken on as a commission. Will also be the first time I leave so many parts separate for painting.

It's Kabuki's Celestial Knight. I would not recommend buying from them. They sent me this by mistake instead of their "totally not Mortarion" model and after some shitty customer service basically left me stuck with this guy.

Thankfully I found a local guy who wanted him and also wants me to paint it for him. So here we are.

No, no. It's fine brother.
We use skulls and chains to adorn marines all the time.
Please ignore the fact that they are being worn by a mutant. He's a normal fellow, just hasn't shaved this year or cut his nails.

Also space wolves trapped in the eye have a thing for looting chaos armor to replace their broken stuff.

>>51194517
who said they were male? also, isn't the nurse stereotype female anyway?

>>51199654
For his right shoulder use a marine shoulder pad to hide the gaps. This requires you to shave off some of the wulfens shoulder for it to fit, but the result is worth it.

>>51200227

I've primed in 80% humidity (at ~55 degrees Fahrenheit) and it all came out fine, anon (pic related). Try it on a bit of sprue first if you're worried about the weather.

As for actual priming tips, start spraying off of the model and do a moderate speed pass over the target area until you're off the model on the other side. Don't go too fast or too slow; each pass should take anywhere from two to four seconds.
I find I get the best results if I spray around 18 inches out from the model, do two or three per coat, and do two to three coats.

Good luck anon.

How do you manage to fix small painting mistakes such as getting paint on places you didn't mean to paint? I know I should be patient and take my time, but I shake like Micheal J. Fox.

>>51200585
Is that a Flesh Tearer?

>>51200947
well, paint over it in the colour it's supposed to be.
but use a small brush and try not to have too much paint on the brush.

I tend to get shakey hands when i forget to eat cause i'm a thin cunt and have a low metabolism, but i guess just try to address anything thatd cause shaky hands. stay hydrated, etc.

Something that might be worth doing to help out any newfriends and people undecided about which paints to go for would be going through all of Duncan's main painting guides and counting which paints he uses how often. Should give a decent graph to show which ones of each shade you will need the most if you follow the official main color scheme.

Is johnny the original dab?

if so, which its currently right now, muggy weather is really bad for spraying, but to do it indoors with the AC on and just get a spraying box and ventilate the room after

Still, putting purple and green together is a dangerous game, so you're gonna want to spend some time tinkering to find the right saturation/tone balance.

The big purple depression dinosaur is a good starting frame of reference though. Right now the purple on your eldar is just too bright and not broken up by anything else. I'd definitely mute the purple ever so slightly and introduce some black for the under armor.

If you want it to look like more or less actual armour you need to move chest plate farther forward so that it will protrude over the lower part. That way it will look like a two-part armour as it should be.

Get in the wraithknight Shinji.

Currently buying shit to paint Celestine. Duncan suggest spray-basing her with Retributor. Don't have it as a spray, will I be fine brush-basing her with an adequately thinned down normal Retributor Gold, should I put some other paint as a primer underneath first or can I directly paint the gold onto the plastic as base/primer? Alternatively, should I just skip out on using it as a base and use something else?

How do I clean files after using them on metal/resin/plastic models?

>>51202472
It's like you're completely missing the point of priming in general and priming in a different color than black

>>51202508

resin and plastic I just run a lighter over them (outside)

>>51202512
I usually prime everything with either Abbaddon Black or Imperial Primer, hence why I was asking and confused about it.

>>51202472
get a black primer from gw and just base the whole thing retributor gold whilst in thin coats, its not as fast as spraying gold but it gets the same result. Always prime your models, paint straight on plastic is a big no no

>>51202472
Start with a primer. Then get on with the gold or whatever.

>>51202508
A stiff, non-metallic brush should get rid of a lot.

For stubborn stuff and a "normal" file, run it the opposite way over a piece of brass. A file that's just a diamond-impregnated surface probably won't be directional, so there it's probably just to hit the brass and hope you don't have stubborn brass bits move in instead.

>>51204138
>did you tape off or just not assemble the parts that are in black while painting?
The latter. I primed all the heads, bolters, backpacks, and pauldrons seperate from the main body (which was all one piece) and then attached them after I primed and spray based the body.
It's fairly easy. I just attach each bit to a toothpick using a dot of blutack and place all the little pieces in a block of styrofoam to keep them in place. Fairly cheap, and all the materials are reusable (though my blutack is looking suspiciously more black then blue these days)

Not my image, but they are about the same size.
(source is the Gravengames Warzone review). Another solid source for info on the models in Eternal Hunt's "Totally Worth it: Warzone" essay.

A couple caveats, though:
The plastic is really, really hard. I use super glue, not polystyrene, to put them together. It's almost impossible to cut through their limbs with a knife. I used clippers to chop off a hand, and I think I'm going to have to get a jeweler's saw to remove guns and arms for large-scale conversion work.

There are only a few possible poses, so if you want lots of variety, you are going to have to fight the plastic to get it.

How hard do you think it would be to do some cuts along the red lines in pic related? I'm not really too big on the carrying handle on the gun but I think with some conversion work it could make a neat sci-fi Thompson.

Are you using and iPhone? Do you edit them in Paint first? I've heard the first causes some flips and the second fixes them.

>>51204729
Nah, its an old Sony, but I did try to unflip them in paint, and then they just flipped the other way.

>>51204676
Those are probably the miniature's thinnest pieces. Many of sprue-to-model connections are thicker than the gun's handle. You can definitely chop that off with clippers, and I believe you could make the cut with a knife as well.

The carrying handle is kind of awkward, and your sci-fi Thompson sounds awesome!

Working on some recent acquisitions from my family for my birthday. The macrocarid is a really nice model that I've wanted forever but it's a bit of a let down in size, it's much smaller than I thought it would be, I certainly wouldn't say it's worth the price they have it at. It's smaller and shorter than the triaros and considering this is supposed to be their equivalent to a landraider its all around rather underwhelming. Other than that mild complaint I'm more than happy with it and the ursarax, the only construction issues I had was fucking up some of the arm placement (got confused between right and left so had to do some chopping and re-aligning.)

I did a grave mistake in buying the Triumvirate before finishing my Skitarii box.

Now I want to get to work on those and have even less drive to get these damn beep-boops done.

That's just grit, it looks like the stuff I got in a pet store in the reptile section for a pound per kg.

I'd actually recommend picking up some finer sand (soft sand from B&Q can be had for 3 quid for more than you'll ever use) and mixing some of that grit stuff into the sand for a more in-scale look.

Glue on with PVA, paint colours of your choice and you're sorted.

As you're doing a big rebasing effort though, now's the ideal time to consider what you really want for the bases. The studio has actually gone with a beigey earth that's different to the robes, but still provides a nice contrast to the black armour.

Is it possible to buy the bits from Forge World kits like you can GW ones? I want just the front two Abeyant panels and the torso section of the FW Archmagos Draykavac model, and I'm not paying for the whole thing. Any good bitz sellers do FW in the UK?

reposting from the last thread but I'm wondering what colour to paint the claws, I'm thinking either bone to match the face or just black.
The forearms are the same colour as the rest of the mini now I just don't have an up to date pic yet.

>>51206979
If you brighten them like the face they'll draw your eye away from the important visual elements of the mini. I'd have kept them dark to be honest, keep the bright to his face and the people

>>51206979
I'd go with dark brown, black is too extreme and unnatural and bone will detract from the face.

As they're now the same colour as the rest then glaze a dark brown over them.

>>51205718

Are these squadrons from Star Wars Armada, or the X-Wing game?

Late reply but if you can pull pic related it can be nice.
You can also look at valkyria chronicles tanks for inspirations. They have nice blue camos.

>>51207193
Armada, Thats why theyre so small

Tossing around ideas for painting necron gun rods.

Has anyone tried the gemstone paints yet for this? I imagine it could give a unique shine.

>>51202905

Private comission painters earn jack shit. Duncs has a probable full-time job at GW. So compared he earns nicely.

>>51207829

I'd say Dunc is probably earning around £22k

Son I'm new to the hobby and I'm doing some Tomb King models. Skeletons seem easy enough, but what I'm having trouble with are the Tomb King/Prince models...or really any of the Mummies. How do I make the wraps stand out from all the bone on the model? I've tried various shades of white and washes but it all seems to blend together.

Any advice?

>>51207683

I really want to start playing Armada...do you play or just collect and paint the ships?

Nearly finished knight, still need to clean up a few things and put on the transfers.

You guys have any recommendations for how I can improve for next time? I haven't been painting for long. Sorry for lack of lightbox.

using differently colored rods might be the better alternative.
You can get transparent neon acrylic rods in the appropriate diameter, you just have to cut them to length.

The reason I'm saying this because painting red over green will just turn black.
I don't think tinting the rods would work.

Maybe that's an effect you are after, but the rods also wouldn't be straight anymore. You'd have a smooth uneven surface that kinda looks slimy, I'd imagine.

If you do this post a picture, I'm curious to see what it'd look like.
Just saying I don't think you can use them for tinting.
Or tinting the rods in general would be a bit of pita because they are not clear they're green.

tinting transparent plastics is something you can do, just google around for articles on tinting clear canopies on model airships or something like that.

That turned into a bit of a rant, I'm just not sure I got what you were trying to do.

The little fucking servoskull flying after Cawl is my fucking Archenemy. Damn cable bent over by just standing around.

>>51207933
>Any advice?
would be easier to give advice with a picture.

Just as a rule of thumb:
If you use the same washes on your bandages as you use on your bones it's not surprising.

If you basecoat the bones white, then paint the bandages grey or a golden brown that would differentiate them a bit.
Of you shade the bones brown, but use a black wash grey bandages for example you also got a color contrast there.
Depending on how bright your bones are you might want to paint the bandages a really dark brown or a very bleached brown/grey so you get a value contrast.

As I said depends on what your models actually look like.

>>51208141
You could leave it off.
Or cut the cable off and replace it with a piece of wire.

The fiddly bits are the first things to go in a transport bag anyway, if they even survive playing.

>>51207936
I play. I actually armada because its easier to jump in and play than 40k. I paint squads just because they look like crap unpainted. The core set is pretty expensive but at least it comes with everything you need to play. A good way to demo it is if you have table top sim you could play it on there for free. Theres a whole online community playing it over the web, but of course if you can find people and buy ships then tabletop is best.

>>51208034
it is so clean...so pretty........good!!!!

>>51207936
Also you shouldnt pay more than 80 bucks for the core set.

This is a really good deal, trust me, but its a 100 buck investment off the bat. But with this you would have a full size army for either side.

Thanks! This is getting off topic of /wip/... but there's only 1 edition of Armada out so far right? Whatever sets I buy are all for the base game, they just add in expansion rules etc?

Also how long does a game normally take, is it point based?

The only thing holding me back is finding a group around here to play

>>51208400
the metallics in general looks like it could use some clean edge highlighting to make it pop out. and washing of course, if you didn't do that, I can't really tell.

>>51208421
It's hard to find people in both Star Wars games. I play Xwing and I've just now got people on my city interested in playing it and am having more Xwing nights and stuff.

>>51208461
I put some nuln oil on them, but that's about it. Would Leadbelcher -> Nuln Oil Wash -> Ironbreaker highlight be a good combination?

>>51208498
yep, thats the perfect basic metallic.

>>51208034
Tabletop / 10

You should paint your basing grit, but that's the only fair nitpick.

If you want to go further you'll be making the contrast in the recesses deeper as well as highlighting, particularly on the metallics, but if you paint your whole army like this guy they'll look great.

It's been raining all week and the humidity is more than double what it usually is.

>>51200585
Huh, alright.

Is GW's Imperial Primer any good? The brush-on one? I though about getting it fro when stuff like this happens or for during the summer when it's 90+ and too hot for my current can.

>>51208421
Yes there is only one edition of Armada.
The game is roughly between 1 and 2 hours. It is points based but the max points anyone uses is 400, 300 is normal and the core set is like 150 so the games dont last long. The reason point caps are serious is because the size of the game surface is very important.

Also dont worry about editions or anything, its not like warhammer where they change it up and youre out 150 bucks to buy new rules, if they ever did update it im sure it would be free but it doubt they would. If you want to pick this convo up you can go to star wars general, make a new thread, or msg me on steam. my name is Freight Train and its a pic of a black dude waving

I wonder if he is like trying to drybrush with a brush youd paint your walls with or something, it looks like excess paint is just going everywhere.

Glorious Kazak Strikeforce for Infinity. The pointing Vet Kazak's hands need painted to match the rest, but anything else you lot can find in need of some improvement?

If they're going to undercoat that gold, they should probably buy actual primer. GW doesn't actually sell anything but spray paint.

Stupid on purpose is still stupid.

Hope you're going to work that face-disk into the surrounding area more, as well as basically all the plastic parts stuck into GS, as is, it looks like a mess of parts stuck into a blob of putty.
By following the flesh folds that the face is pulling against and continuing them out over the seams and onto the contours of the flesh on the metal it will look a lot better.

Then, follow the metal flesh contours down what I'm choosing to interpret as the spine.

Abaddon.

About to start painting some Necrons with the nihilakh dynasty(green/teal color)

I really like the GW painting guide, except for the Steel Legion Drab it says to make it into a wash?

How do I simply go about turning a non GW wash, into a wash?

>>51209672
Fucking moldlines.

>>51209760
Thin it to a very light and translucent consistency, probably best to use medium rather than water, as it might start separating with that much water.

>>51209469
It's just a question of chemistry. Primers use synthetic resins to seal the surface they're spraying while paint doesn't. GW sprays, as actually indicated by their branding, are not meant for sealing and are just aerosol paint. If you want actual primer, Duplicolor sandable is good as are most auto primers.

>>51209760
Lahmian medium, basically.
