And since I made the thread, I'm gonna be asking the first question!

What the hell do I use as staves for my Thousand Sons sorcerers? I've got plenty of 3rd party bits, lots of arms and bolters, basically everything I need to make 40 Rubric Marines, but I cannot for the life of me find any non-Terminator staves or other sorcerer-like bits being sold.

Not even sorcerer bits from the actual Rubric Marine box?

some more from the box

should I gloss coat then matte coat or just matte coat?

>>51390795

If you were thinking of doing gloss coat for extra protection you can get the same effect by just spraying matte coat one or two more times. Gloss isn't magically more protective than matte, it's the same chemical in both cans except with a matting agent in matte varnish. Only reason it's more protective is because it tends to spray thicker.

Here is the end result of the masking tape brothers.

I got these two for a an absolute steal from what I assume was a kid owner, drenched in superglue, although to his credit the turrets and sponsons move.

Initial stages of weathering are done, although I'll probably look at this again after work to see if there's anything I've missed with fresh eyes.

Next stage, Gloss varnish to allow for further weathering.

not completely sold on his fists, still need a lot of work. and im tossing up scrapping most of them and just using wire sorrounded by guitar strings and rods to imitate his bionic arms. also not sure what to do with the helmet/head. want it to be a helmet, scared to cut the head out of this, might use this helmet but paint a red glow effect on the right eye to make it look like his bionic eye. thoughts??

>>51404440
You're supposed to concentrate the highlights towards the most prominent details on the face, not towards the everything.

>>51404440
The real issue here is you use WAYYYY too much flayed one flesh. That's supposed to be a tiny extreme highlight.

If you're a beginner you should simplify things. Just do bugman's as an undercoat, get a solid complete coat of kislev and shade it. You can stop here. Dont even do the eyes. just leave them shadowed. If you do want to highlight then a baby step is to highlight with the Kislev flesh again. That way if you all to much it won't be as obvious.

But really, way, way, way less FOF.

>>51404492
>with Mk3 or Mk4 armor?
It's probably easier to go for Mk IV armour, since that'll give you access to a wide range of Forge World kits (like the Mk IV parts in the Red Scorpions Honour Guard kit). Mk III, not so much, unless you collect one of the handful of First Founding Chapters/Legions that got Horus Heresy upgrades in that Mark.

>>51404440
it looks like the pain might be on a little too thick in general. aim more for an even skin tone and then do the layering from there, it looks like you're doing highlights straight over your base coat with no intermediary layer, like cadian fleshtone.

>>51404712
I can do the glowing eyes just fine. I do it on my GK all the time. I wouldn't dare try pupils, though. It actually looks "better" with more of the FoF, but so far I just gave everything another thin coat of Kislev to restart.

>>51404722
>too thick
This shit's already like water. I don't know how thin it should be if it's almost like water. And please don't use the "milk consistency" analogy. I just can't grasp it for whatever reason. As for no Cadian Fleshtone, the Kislev Flesh is the substitute for it. I followed Duncan's video recipe. Bugmans>Kislev>Reikland>Flayed one.

>>51404799
you can try to bring the colours together a bit with a reikland wash over those highlights, but I reckon it's still a bit bright. If i'm trying to do some highlights on a face and I cant trust thinned paint to go where i want it, sometimes i do a sneaky little drybrush on the cheeks and stuff since you have a lot more control over how it builds up.

Time to make some Rhino conversions.

>>51404728
Not especially different. Painting 1:1 faces ain't exactly going to give you the skills and know-how necessary to paint 1:48 faces.

>>51404787
Those colours make me want to go and hire a mariachi band for some reason.

>>51404799
I generally go for somewhere between a 2:1 or 3:1 paint-water ratio when it comes to thinning most paints (exact amount depends on the type of paint). The paint should feel more fluid when you move it around with a brush on your palette, but not to the point where it starts looking transparent or blotchy, or where the consistency feels closer to water than paint.

It's a good idea to take some pieces of sprue from a plastic kit and test on there, just to get the consistency right.

>>51404867
Well, the average woman will have spent more time learning about makeup.
Contouring is basically faking light and shadow on your face to change the bone structure of your face.
Which is exactly what you do when you paint a miniature. You try to fake how light falls on a smaller object, but the same principles apply.

Which is why the advice to have a look at makeup tutorials comes up quite frequently.
The knowledge is transferrable.

Mk III is too brutal and iconic. Mk IV "fits" more. The helmet and shoulders from Mk III are fine to mix in though and give a very obvious ancient look. Using just the chest, or just the legs is also done by Forge World in 40K for Salamanders and Astral Claws and looks alright. Mk IV is the easiest to mix and make look good.

Looks pretty nice. I think you could do something to make the distinction between the basing and the leg read better. Maybe add chipped paint to the thing he's standing on or wash it to make it a tone darker maybe?

Everything looks like ass on the camera. By the time your painting has crossed the magic line where your stuff actually looks good on camera, you'll already be at Golden Daemon competition winning quality.

Even the guys who post nice models here that look good, but aren't necessarily 2016 Golden Daemon level would have won gold in Golden Daemon 2005-2008.

So does anyone else have weird experiences with Vallejo's flat blue paint? Even when shaken up and thinned, it still feels a little hard to worth with, and that it separates real easy.

They are a... Complicated chapter. Pledged in service to an Inquisitor (Red Hunters tactics), but said inquisitor is radical Xanthite and has manipulated the mnemonic redaction protocol Red Hunters go through post-mission for this band specifically, to her own advantage. Far enough away and hard enough to track down they aren't going missing any time soon. They brought Mark 4 with them, and it's still what they're using.

Some fluff is still up in the air. A few squads of Marines declared killed in action is one thing, but bringing parts of the armory with it... I'm leaning more towards a reboot of Corax's genetic funtimes with way less regard for how fucked up the subjects come out, and the gear being sourced from Heresy-era emergency stocks thought lost in the intervening 10,000 years.

I way overdid answering your question. Loyalist aesthetics, yes.

Anon, this is ridiculous.
Like well done for trying to do something with limited resources, but we're not a hugbox who are going to tell you this looks good.
The pose is okay, but the composition is terrible.
Head looks like a blob of chewing gum. The bottom knife blade under your makeshift crozius looks dumb.
It's covered in thick, inconsistent paint.
The boltgun legs are kind of almost maybe acceptable but also obvious what their source is.

I'm waiting for the reply of "Got you I was le epic troll" so I can restore some faith in humanity.

/wip/, should I paint Cawl in my army's colors or in his default colors?

Not sure how good he'll look in white/blue.

>>51407357

As a different looking model in your army, he'll catch the eye of onlookers (which is good).

What's the best way to get paint slime off minis after they have been soaked in dettol? I assumed that i'd just be able to scrub the paint off with a brush but it's really pasty and just sticks back onto the model.

>>51407937
If you've used water then you're fucked mate, sorry.

You need to clean dettol gunk off with methylated spirits or something similar, water will turn the paint/dettol mixture into something impossible to remove.

You'll need to re-soak them and then try again with meths.

>>51407937
scrub em in metho
do NOT get dettol soaked minis near water
the scum just fucks everything
a rinse in metho will turn all the paint into fine ground pigments that stay suspended in the metho and eventually settle out so you can filter it clean.
just have adequate ventilation, do it outdoors.

>>51407247
Good points.
Admittedly, the rest of my stuff is FAR higher quality, this was just an attempt to use up some of my extra shitty bits I had floating round to maybe just make a tabletop mini I may not even use.
That being said, the head actually doesn't look like a blob of chewing gum in real life, the camera captures it really badly, something about the colour I think.
Most of the parts, especially the chest, were already broken to the point I was considering the bin, and, frankly, I like my Crozius, as it is unique, and a far better rendition to the one I had before.
Also, I have not yet painted it properly, so I might not turn out so bad.

>>51407895

Somewhat related PSA for North American anons:
If you see one of these (pictured) fuckers flying around in your room/house, kicking up dust and all other kinds of bullshit, capture and drown them- or alternatively, starve them.

They cause me all sorts of problems with dust, which leads to me not painting so it doesn't get caught in my shit, and I was tossing them outside until I learned they sneak back inside houses, and that they're an invasive species and agricultural pest.

If you see one or more fluttering around your lights while you're trying to paint, model, or anything else, do your part to purge this filth. But don't crush them; that's a bad idea.

>>51408433
A harmless shield bug. y anon?

>>51408538
A.) Stink bug.
B.) It's an invasive species and an agricultural pest. They cause a great deal of damages to crops, namely on the East coast, and they have few predators (again, because they're from China and native species are unfamiliar with them). If I recall correctly they've only been here maybe 20 years at the most.

>>51408433

Or try not living in a mudhut that has insects running around?

>>51408559
Luckily I am tucked away safely in glorious Western Europe, where wildlife only exists because we allow it to.
Good luck with you bug, anon.

>>51408571
"The bug survives the winter as an adult by entering houses and structures when autumn evenings become colder, often in the thousands. In one home more than 26,000 stinkbugs were found overwintering."

"They will enter under siding, into soffits, around window and door frames, chimneys, or any space which has openings big enough to fit through."

Unless your house is hermetically sealed, they tend to find some way in. It's only when they get into the main rooms of a house that they "wake up" from their hibernation state and cause problems.

>>51408583
Ah...
Don't feel too safe.

What do you think?

extra crispy, but in my humble opinion, I think the scar is too purple

But It's a really good model!

>>51409842
Looks great!
Maybe use a richer yellow.
Could be the lighting that makes the colour a tad dull.

>>51409842
Man, I really don't like drybrushed marines. The freehand is neat though.

>>51409854
I guess my cam fucks up the reds. It's a red base with skin tone + purple mix, and it's almost layered back to skin tone on its edge, but I see your point, I think I'll touch it up.

>>51409889
I used 2 coats of averland with a finish of thinned sun yellow from vallejo. Came out as a pretty "industrial" yellow, which fits the style in my eyes. But yeah could be cam + lightning.

>>51409896
The only part where I used drybrushing was the base, with deliberate use of the same tone on the boots. I guess drybrushing is ok to simulate dust.

>>51409842
I think the scar would be a lot better if you went over it again with white.

Other than that, breddy gud.

>>51410205
>he only part where I used drybrushing was the base
Weird. Because to me it looks like the whole armour was drybrushed. Especially the pointing arm and hand and the backpack.

>>51410239
Well, I did not. The whole process of painting that dude was a bit wonky from the start, but I got a bit lucky after first wash and liked the result. I then did a normal edge highlight, which may look like a simple drybrush, but well, it's not.

I've seen a lot of models ruined by airbrushing. This is an example of it enhancing the model.

>>51412671
What makes you think it was airbrushed?

In any case airbrushes are just another tool.
I don't get why people have such a hateboner for it.
Sure, some people do three coats with an airbrush and throw it on ebay, some people do the same with a regular brush or a spraycan though. The fixation on the tool seems irrational to me.
What counts is the end result.

>>51412948

I guess what >>51412671 meant was drybrushing.

And thanks for the posts btw guys!

That's pretty awesome!
Maybe you can add a few handles or something so your grots can push that gun into the field.
Or maybe add an orky thingamabob to assist aiming, like a periscope. Or maybe a console with a big red button. Or a shell rack. Or a table with orky instruckshuns how to "oparate da gun propa"...

>>51413083

Well done.
I feel like you could maybe add some dags or patches on the armored shield to blend it in with the guns more, but you pretty much nailed the ork style. Two thumbs up from me.

Thanks for the kind words! About aiming, I did make a wonky scope and a big button on the side - which I'm totally painting red =)

I wonder how I could have avoided messy parts on the top, I tried to cover empty spots with Tamiya putty white, but it very dense to properly lay it down and dries too quickly. Is it possible to liquify it?

>>51413231

Maybe a big fucking lever.

Messy parts on top will be no problem after painting. Since this is ork gear. Messy and orky go hand in hand.

Check if your putty is acrylics based. If yes a bit of water. Vallejo has plastic putty in dropper bottles which I couldn't get the hang of at first. Then I diluted it with water and used it as a semiliquid filler. Works like a charm and doesn't get crumbly.

Planning a black & white colour scheme.
What colours and how many layers would be reccomended to work from a black basecoat up to a white for details? Or am I going about it wrong and should start from White?

hee hee

aside from that they look good

>>51413231
Never used tamiya putty before, but if its rough after priming, just paint it like a rust or soot patch.

>>51413299
>Or am I going about it wrong and should start from White?
Yes. You need one coat of black to cover white. You need four coats of white to cover black.
Prime white, wash it down with a light grey, be as messy as you want there and then paint the black in before doing highlights on the black and white parts of your scheme.

>>51412582

>>51413678

Happy little mistake. Didn't want to paint the eyes at first, just wanted to keep em shaded. Then I applied white, then I fucked it up, then I needed to clean it up.

At table top range this works for this particular model however, since he is charging like a fucking berserker with two melee weapons into the fight.

I'm terrible with eyes I'll admit. I think part of the problem is I tried doing the trick in pdf related with blacking the eyes first and the black bleed out a bit too much

>>51413620
The angle in the photo makes them look bigger than thy are. I took it from a bit too low of an angle. I used a pair of feet from the DE scourges set though, so they are about as proportioned as i could get.

anyone have tutorial for the dark elf black dragon?
I have basecoated it black, but cant figure out how to do highlights or drybrushes to the black parts

>>51413650

I will never understand why people insist on ruining their models with the retarded googly-eyes. At this scale a humans eyes are so small there is zero reason to try and paint them.

I've seen maybe one or two 28mm minis with good looking eyes. 99.9% of the time they end up looking like >>51412582 that.

>>51413870
It makes the model feel more complete, and since its such a small detail it will go unnoticed on the tabletop if it doesn't look perfect.

>>51413870
It works at range. The head is tilted down, you only see a bit of the eyes anway, but that helps to convey the idea of the model looking on its target.

Close ups are misleading, almost every time.

But you are right, I don't plan on painting more eyes for the overkill marines. He is the exception.

Hi WIP, I am currently using a wet palette which is going quite well. I am wondering if you need to do anything special to addd Slow-Dri/Flow Extender as some kind of thinning medium. Do I just mix a bit on the paint on the palette?

What is the non-dry equivalent of Longbeard Grey?

Will acetone melt the internals/o-rings of my airbrush? I'm not quite sure what I can and can't put inside it - some people have suggested just dunking it in a tub of solvent overnight but I'm wary of that and don't want to ruin it and/or have to buy new gaskets.

Black isn't smooth surface enough.

Hey /wip/,
I need your help.
I've been wondering how much large of a surface area I could cover with one package of 12 Oyumaru sticks.

To give you an idea of what I want to do:
I've got a Garden of Morr set and want to build some additional Mordheim style scenery. My idea was to make a mold of the wall sets and cast them to cover the walls of the lowest buildings I'm gonna make. The walls do have doorframes and whatnot so I figured it would be a quick and easy way to add loads of detail without much work. I have experience with casting in silicone and resin, but don't want to waste the more expensive silicone on a one-off project.

Basically my question is do you think I could cover the wall sections of the Garden of Morr set with one package or do I need more?

The section with the gate is about 15x9cm (6x3.5 inches), the smaller one 11x6cm (4.3x2.3 inches).

All right /wip/, I've been designing/building a Leman Russ equivalent to ally with legions in 30k. Could you guys recommend a paint scheme for it? I kind of want a light blue and tan two tone camo for it but don't know what the lenses would be.

Working on the cape now. Hopefully I'll finish him this weekend. I think I'm gonna leave the cape simple instead of bloating it with a freehand. It wouldn't look good anyway due to the weird sharp folds and I'm not especially proficient with freehands.

A papercraft sicarian

Cool.

>>51415331
Red would contrast well with blue.

>>51415356
Haha its only the size of a leman Russ, but that's what I was going for.
>>51415372
Yeah but would it work with the tan?

>>51415262
>>51415312
What's wrong with that method? Seems to me it'd be efficient, but you'd have to recoat the cuts if anything.

>>51415343
Ah, that's a shame. I really don't think the colour of that cloak goes with the armour - or any of the other colours on the model for that matter. A neutral grey, black or very dark blue would have looked much better.

>>51415343
Simple's best, and the blending's still great.

Though I'd say the green is a little bright.

>>51415395
>Seems to me it'd be efficient

Spraying all of the sprues along with the models, wasting tons of primer.

Still having to clean the mouldlines off all the models, and then recoat with primer?

It's the furthest thing from efficient.

>>51415391
Depends how red your tan is

>>51415395
You will be gluing primer to primer, unless you scrape it off before you glue your individual pieces. Drilling barrels or adding damage, also (i realize this is lizards so no drilling barrels, but any other chopping would have to be reprimed too)

Also any extra bits you have for conversion seem like something id leave blank.

Im not hounding you about it (teehee) just not something I'd do. To each their own, if it works

>>51415402
Really? I think it goes well with the red.

>>51414691

What do you guys think of the weathering?

>>51415560
looks great on the metallics, looks shit on the yellow and blacks - you can see the "human hand" and it takes you way out of the sense of scale with how smeary/brushstrokey it is

>>51415587
Thank you!
I guess ill try a sponge, or different brush work on the paints.

>>51415550
Dark Reaper and then Fenrisian Grey for black highlight.
And for bones: Zandri dust, Agrax Earthshade, Karak Stone, Screaming Skull

Does anyone have a technique for greenstuffing rivets onto armour? I need to Admechify some converted Castellax and obviously they need less spikes, more rivets.

Just finished my first Skittle. Took me like 2-3 hours, which is way too long for a single one of these bastards, really gotta get faster with this. Though I guess I could save almost an hour if I could use spray cans. Also probably almost too detailed for tabletop standard considering Skitarii are such a troop heavy army.

Anyone have a link to eavy metal masterclass for space marine librarian? Mega link in OP doesn;t work

>>51415658
I use the tip of a mechanical question with no lead in it.

It creates a perfect small circle in GS

>>51415712
If you paint in batches, you'll speed up immensely

>>51415772
If i turn this gear 35 degrees, what position will the fourth gear be in?

Still no rivets, is that question TOO mechanical?

>>51415772
mechanical pencil*

>>51415772
That sounds like it would work, I have a broken one lying around somewhere. So do you just press it into a blob of greenstuff then onto the model, or what? Seems like it should be nice and uniform, too. I mean, it's DarkMech Magos Biologis, so it doesn't have to be perfect, but always nice to have uniform metal bits.

>>51415712
Gotta say you've got some MAD going on with those colours.

>>51415615
I think trying to be a little more deliberate on the micro scale with application will pay dividends. overall its a really nicely visually balanced scheme you've got

Working on some rats, decided to do a mini guide on how I do orange since I get asked it on occasion. Fuegan Orange shade is magic in a bottle.

>>51415936
drybrushing is really hard on those curved smooth surfaces. I feel your pain as I'm in the middle of painting five of my own, and it's a slog. just bite the bullet and be ready with your base color to touch up as you go along

>>51415939
OK then. I guess I'll experiment on some spare sprue and such, then.

>>51416181
ALSO, venoms are in my experience a great "stepping stone" project as they incorporate the same design with about 1/3 of the area to cover, so you can get in some practice on a more manageable project before scaling up to raiders
