Kicking it off with my now finally finished OOP deff dread, show your WAAAGH! face.

Just got finished priming my Engineer's guild for Guild Ball.

Steamforged makes some wonderfully detailed minis, but they can't do contact points for shit.

I almost lost my god damned mind trying to get a single arm on a mini to stay in fucking place.

It's all done now and I have to paint, problem is the minis are so fucking heavy and the poses so dynamic, they won't stay upright when shoved in sticky tack to use as a base for manipulating the mini when painting.

What do you bro's recommend for keeping a mini to a base (like a pill bottle or something) when painting for manipulation when sticky tack doesn't cut the mustard?

>>51868580

Congrats, I got Tetanus just from looking at that thing. I got the feeling that is what you were going for, and if that is the case, fucking nailed it.

>>51868580
I need myself a lightbox, no sunshine in brutal finnish winter, and my camera picks on even smallest glint of metal...

I go with Tamiya for primer and sealers and shit like that.

Hasn't done me wrong yet.

>>51868666
I used to use it without any real issues, though in black. I moved to their black camo primer and it's like night and day. Check it out.

Anyone have any tips for making dipped miniatures dry faster?

>>51868742

Thin your minis.

>>51868631
stick a pin or two in the feet and then stick to a cork? two hold points will help with it turning/moving.

>>51868742
hair dryer.

>>51868856

I consider this, but it won't work for the bulk of them because many only have one foot on the ground.

I am thinking of just using clamp sticks.

>>51868666
The marine on the right is primed with the exact spray paint you've posted. It's a surprisingly quality product for the $4 it costs. Very matte with very good coverage.

The marine on the left is primed with Vallejo Surface Primer. It was painted on and he ended up quite shiny. It also is the only primer I've used that comes off if you stick it in Simple Green and/or Super Clean for a while and then scrub it. Take that as what you will. On the plus side, I've heard this stuff works MUCH better out of an airbrush. It also has a very strong citrus-y scent, which is nice.

>Will this in red work for dark eldar?
They make it in red? I didn't know that. I play BA so that might be quite useful.

>>51868956
something to consider when using not grey/black/white primer is color matching. that's probably the principle advantage to using citadel or army painter spray cans.

that said i use rustoleum spray primer and liquitex paint-on-primer.

Got this limited edition guy from old DV set. Still on sprue. No idea what to do with him though. Could sell for an OK price, but seems to only go for like 40 usd, way too low to be bothered to fuck around with international shipping and shit.

If I were to use him myself, I'd convert him to a Dark Apostle. But I'd just end up only really keeping the body as it is, I'd have to carve away at the shoulder, cape, change up the weapons, etc etc. Anyone got any ideas?

>>51868956
Weird, my vallejo surface primer usually comes out much more matte than that.

Woops quoted wrong guy.

Prolly a dumb question.

Does cigarette smoke damage unpainted plastic kits at all? I'd imagine after they're primed and painted you couldn't smell any tobacco on any of them, but I just wanted to be sure cause I need to store some unassembled recasts somewhere with heavy smoke.

Reposting my question from the last thread.

>>51869490
Four marines too late. Just tried out >>51867203 's recipe and it's working out great. But speaking of, what parts did you use for that conversion? I might do something similar for my Praetor.

>>51870355
Put them in a sealed plastic bag for storage, problem solved.

Hey /wip/ how do you "fix" GW Metallics they are too shiny. For the model I'm currently painting they are popping out a lot.

>>51870718
Mix in regular paint.

>>51870414
they already are, but I worried that the smell might still permeate through

>>51870742
So apply a thin coat of Devlan Mud / Badab Black then mix in regular paint? For instance I'm applying Shining Gold, mix it with perhaps some Brown?

I usually wash after. For gold, I'd optionally undercoat Mournfang (or whatever it used to be called), then mix mournfang and your gold, wash, then highlight with pure gold then silver.

I forget whether Badab and Devlan are matte washes, but the regular Nuln / Agrax do a decent job of matting down metals.

>>51870874
That is exactly that I did, I'm in the highlight part of the process but still it is too shiny (maybe I applied too wide the highlight?), but anyways thanks for the input. I will try to wash then mix with base brown for the highlight and go thinner.

Super Clean works slightly better than Simple Green. I've had the best luck with pic-related (it's only sold at Dollar Tree as far as I know), but black primer will never completely come off unless you carefully scrape it with a knife. I've reprimed minis that had still had some old primer on them after stripping without losing detail. Just be careful to prime with short bursts/thin coats as you always should be anyway.

>>51870355

Just wash them thoroughly before assembling since I assume you mean HEAVY when you say heavy smoke, which WILL leave residue that builds up over time.

You really shouldnt store shit you dont want smelly or dirty in smoking areas

>>51871317
I thought about just sitting here for hours slowly scraping the primer off each of these models, desu.

>>51870991

Rubbing alcohol stripped my army painter primer and paintjob

>>51871353
What percentage did you use? 91%?

Did you soak, or did you just dip your brush and scrub like a madman?

>>51868580
This is the orkiest dred I've ever seen. No kidding.
10/10 from me.

>>51871372

70%. Slid right off in like 5 minutes. 91% works too

I used 70% because it was cheap so I could pour a shallow amount in a cup and just submerge the entire model lying on its side minus the base and just left it there for 5-15 minutes.

Short soaks mean light scrubbing required. Longer soak and the paint comes off on its own if you used thin acrylic paints

Started working on my Deathwatch - Overkill project I have had on the shelf for a while now.
Now though, I got hold of some textured rolling pins to make green stuff bases, and this is my first test base. I think it came out pretty good to be honest, a bit to detailed for a base, but still good fun to paint!

>>51871864
sand will destroy the paintjob of your miniatures whenever they rub against eachother. Go with agrelland badlands or something similar.

Can I write on my minis with a pen? I did this with a friend and the ink seemed to rub off. Do I have to use a special kind of pen or was I just being retarded and I need to give the ink time to dry?
Also, if I'm writing on a light brown, ushabti bone colour will black ink look strange? I'm trying to achieve the effect of someone writing on a big scroll cloak but I don't trust myself or know how to paint it freehand, every attempt has come out looking like zebra stripes.

>>51871978

>>51871443

Looks great, the added numbers and decals really makes the thing "come to life" so to speak. You really connects to the terrain, and it becomes more than just a crashed plane!

>I want to make a desert ground, and so far I think that just glueing sand from the beach would be the best option

It's a good start. You'll want to prime, paint, highlight, and wash the sand. This looks better in 28mm scale when you actually treat it like you're scaling it down.

>>51872001
I have a caligraphy pen that I successfully used on white paint washed with Devlan Mud (now Agrax Earthshade). It's a little more along the lines of a very fine marker, so I'd say something like what you'd use with other hobbies like scrapbooking would be fine. Just don't touch it for a while so it dries completely. I slapped some matte varnish over it as well, just to be safe.

>>51872001
I use micron pens for small details on my minis all the time. Never had any problem with the ink coming off, but it's generally been on more recessed areas of the model. The only thing is be worried about is that ink tends to dry a little glossier than paint, so you'll probably want to give it a wash of agrax or something afterward.

Given that things are picking up, I'm going to chance reposting here since I did it at a shitty time earlier today. Pic is of my chimera, the first model I've done in roughly eight years. For the most part I'm satisfied with it, but I'm not 100% on the mud/weathering effects.

Hoping to get suggestions, recommendations or comments on it and what people think. Light colored mud is supposed to be old, dry mud, while darker is fresh. Apologies for the mediocre picture quality.

For the mud, stippling your two layers more into one another would help, as would a wash over both to tie the colours together a bit more with a common tone.

>>51872293
So add a bit more dark where the light is and a bit more light where the dark is strongest? Also, I guess Devlan Mud would work? At the moment I'm a little wanting for variety in paints, but I'm open to suggestions if you think a sepia or something like that would work better.

>>51872359
I didn't stick it on until the very end; since I've been holding off on varnishing until I could get some suggestions I figured I'd just wait a bit to do it. I'm not completely sure if I want it to be just on the bottom or on the top as well. My only reservation adding it to the top is that it'd obscure the red trim.

Or you could be like literally every painter on YouTube and just buy basing sand. The pocket change you saved by being so smart was probably already wasted in time, gas money, and having giant bags of sand lying around the house.

No, rusting is oxidation. It's literally iron burning at an extremely slow pace because of contact with water.

Fairly new, guy running the GW store here tells me you can use the coloured spray (in my case Admech Standard Grey) straight on an unprimed mini. Can anyone verify this?

Pic related; slightly worse with a camera than a brush.

>>51872871
As much as everyone will tell you that they're not primer (which is completely correct), you can use most of the sprays GW sells without actually priming first. It has enough tooth and nail to cling to whatever you spray it on, primer or not.

Also, if you're painting skits, you'd be better off undercoating with Leadbelcher spray instead of MSG (even if the robes will be gray). It'll save you a lot of time in the end.

>>51872871
Your model looks fine, and I think you're able to do that, yes. From what I know GW sprays double as primer and basecoat, although I personally don't have much experience with them so, so I can't give you definitive answer.

>>51872871
Yeah, but only on plastic. I don't think there is really much need for priming, except that it helps you build your layers easier. But that 'primer' can be any colour or your basecoat as far as I know.

>>51872920
>>51872939
Thanks for the advice, think I'll give it a shot. Tough call on the colour, leadbelcher makes sense but I do have a hard time getting the grey smooth on the robes.

GW spray isn't an official primer, but you're all correct and it will work. the solvents/paint thinners in it are enough to bond the paint to the model (as long as it's plastic).

I, for one, am quite enjoying the new GW's personality.

Anyways, what's a model you'd like to see him do a video for?

>>51873307
>I always feel like i can only do my best work in a 30 minute window after I start working, after that I have to take a break or everything I do gets sloppier.

I get that feeling too. Strangely enough I seem to paint better while standing and walking around than I do while sitting at my desk.

Sometimes my paint (thinned with my usual mix) turns to chunky goop on my palette while on other days everything's fine.

Someone should send him a freshly cleaned Johnny and write a heartfelt letter asking him to paint it.

>>51873586
Do you think he'd be miffed if the model that was sent was a recast?

/tg/, I'm getting in the mood to paint again, after many years of not touching anything. I have a bunch of old GW paint that I already thinned back then, will they be still usable if I add some water, or are they lost forever and I have to rebuy basically every color?

Does the skin need darker shadowing? Does the fur look ok? Continue to be on the fence about my choices thus far

>>51874216

Yeah, and the people who say that are fucking idiots. Even rubbing alcohol melts FW resin after a while. Using acetone or oven cleaner or brake fluid on resin is stupid as shit.

>>51874344
the dark blue in the fur looks a little flat, maybe a thin glaze could add some depth. Colors look good, just do some more blending on the skin and it'll look great! The lighting is well done.

This is a bit of an odd question but I don't really have anywhere else to ask

I remember seeing, years ago, some website selling bags of fairly generic sci-fi 28mm infantry. They were super cheap and came with about 60 soldiers to a bag if I remember correctly.

Anybody got a clue where that was? I've had a look a few times through Google and by scouring every mini site I come across but couldn't find them.

Should i always use the same colour of the same basecoat when i wash?
Using it on two tone blue tank.

m8, really think about what you're asking here.
Do you really thing you could stick a resin model into a rock tumbler full of sand to strip the paint off without harming the model? A rock tumbler, designed TO SMOOTH FUCKING ROCKS. And you're wondering if you can throw a fragile resin model in there without harming it?
Really think here m8.

>>51874501

You can use grey washes (GW doesn't sell these), black, brown, but other than that you should stick to the same color if you don't use these. Don't use a red wash on a blue tank for example.

You can sometimes use colors that kinda go together, like using a blue wash to make a white part have a blue tint or blue shadows, or use green wash to make your blue slightly greener, but don't be doing stupid shit like green wash on orange armor.

>>51874520
Wash it in soap and water and use super glue.

Which of these four schemes do you think would look best on Italian States ships from Dystopian Wars? Would any remix of these elements work better? I'm aware these are closer to historical aircraft schemes and camo on boats is dumb, I just really like a lot of the Italian WWII North African schemes and took inspiration from those.

Spiffy shit, dudeman. First things that pop out would be the tops of the exhaust pipes. Most people would sperg out and say to drill them, I'll settle by saying you aught to dot them. Can't make out the lights too well, so nothing to say there. The icon on the front is pretty nice, though the ribbon is noticeably bare. Not sure what to put yet or just didn't do it?

Finally, I'll say that for the side I can barely make out highlighting on some of the edges. If you don't want to go over it again with drybrushing, I'd say give it a little bit of edge highlighting if you decide to do anything.

Actually, no, I'm not done. Did you do any recess shading on it with a wash? If you look wayyyy up on this thread you'll see a chimera with red on the sides. I don't claim to be some sort of paragon of the brush, but when I was working on it and I added a wash of Devlan Mud (Agrax Earthshade) to the recesses it made a huge difference.

Posting a cont. since I didn't see that new picture when writing the other post.

Do something with the headlights, yo'. You can do some simple gem stuff, or like pic attached, although you'd need to get creative with how you apply it to those.

Again, icon is great, if a little bare on the ribbon, and the highlights are pronounced on most of the front, but you could do with more shading still. I do see some spots like the rivets on the front and a few spots on the side, but the front especially could use it more, namely around the driver's sight slot and... I guess that'd be the glacis plate meets the front plate.

>>51876209
Thanks for the critiques but I am not done with it yet, still got some layering to do and such. Also for the doors one the sides I am not doing any painting too much there as I am gonna have the weapon sponsons magnetized to it and the normal rhino doors. As for the exhust pipes, I was gonna drill it out but looking closely it almost seems like they are meant to be flat on top and the smoke is suppose to come out the sides. I thought it made sense as you wouldn't rocks and shit falling in there (or the unlikely chance a grenade). Still have to do the lights, and debating if I want to make them blue or green, (yellow also might be cool). The ribbon will have something on it but I am not skilled at all doing writing with a brush and trying to think of something cool sounding besides "Blood."

Shading was all with Agrax, lighting quality is shit for the picture but I can assure it's much darker in reality. And yeah, may have to highlight the sides more as you can only really see it from an awkward angle.

Also I will be making the tracks and bottom all muddy.

>Honestly, I think it telling that the best paintjobs in here show up in photos that are under 1 MB and reasonably sized.
Yeah, because the quality is so poor you can't see all the mistakes.

So this might be a dumb question, but do you guys paint before you assemble or paint after you assemble?

For fuck sakes, most of us play warhammer. A game that cost $6 a model and requires you to field hundreds for a good game. And you're complaining about your fucking third world internet. You're problem is not our problem.

>>51877430
it's called common courtesy, and it goes both ways.

>>51877381
I do it after. But there are models it's basically required to paint before assembly to get a good effect. Having said that, it's usually a waste of time and not worth the effort.

>>51877380
Let me guess, you judge cameras based on megapixel counts?

>>51877473
Partially. The arms usually can stay on without gluing, so painting them seperate isn't hard. And I'd leave off some of the obvious armor plates (legs mostly) to get in the hard to reach places.

it's the goddamn purple, it works so well with the dark green

The Tau schemes that stand out to me personally as the most effective are the muted, base colors with bright, vibrant bursts of color here and there.

Still looking for a good scheme though.

>>51877601
OH. I'm sorry man. You just had to say you're autistic. My bad, I'll drop it. Maybe give yourself a trip though so I don't insult you again.

>The Tau schemes that stand out to me personally as the most effective are the muted, base colors with bright, vibrant bursts of color here and there.

Agreed. Would never play Tau cause I hate the lore but there is a player at my flgs that plays them and uses that style to paint them and he has one of the better painted army out of everyone there.

This stuff. It's so thin a quick pass doesn't even cover the surface. Plus it's cheap -- $6 a can at auto stores. By far the best primer I've ever used.

How do I into painting shit real fast?

Have 6 Kataphrons to do and I've been churning through so much AdMech the last few weeks that I just want to get them done at this point.

Main color will be white, so I won't be able to get around 2 thin layer coats on top of 2 thin base coats.

>>51877228
>What is FWs method for Word Bearers?


>1. Prime black
2. Drybrush heavily with silver, taking care to pick out the edges
3. Airbrush one coat of Carroburg Crimson (I used a hand brush).
4. Airbrush 3 thinned coats of Tamiya Clear Red (I used thinned Vallejo Model Color Transparent Red, using a hand brush, then spreading out the wet red with a damp brush, taking care not to let any color pool and to keep the metallic sheen.)
5. Airbrush one coat of Carroburg Crimson

I then went back in and picked out some edges with silver, and also applied a black line in between armor plates to give definition to the armor (black thinned with medium).

>>51877783
Practice. Though if you have the money, an airbrush can really get things going quickly.

>>51873893

Anon, I've used "Super Clean" (Comes in a purple container and I normally get mine from Walmart) before on Forgeworld minis (and recasts) and they have come out alright. Obviously I didn't leave them in for weeks and weeks, but a day or two and a good scrub brush should help you. No loss of detail either.

Just be sure to use a pair of gloves, because that shit is not kind to skin. Unless you like that kind of thing.

WIP.
How do they look so far?

>>51877856
First off your image doesn't need to be 6mb, try to resize your image next time .

Other than that, really fucking nice. Sorta hard to make out the exact quality cayuse some areas are a tad blurry. I notice some of the washed areas on the marines could be cleaned up maybe the fur on the wolf to the right can be washed darker and highlighted for better contrast.

Really dig the blood on the white wolfs mouth. Bases also look nice but come off as way too flat. Throw some boulders in there or skulls.

>"The implications of that quote is that the wolf-like animals are not actually wolves in the Earth sense but severely mutated humans that reverted into a bestial form. Space Wolves make use of werewolf-esque mutants called wulfen, though it's rumored that they can revert fully into wolves (and even change genders so a true breeding race is born) and that seems to be the secret origin of Fenrisian 'wolves'. This mutation is caused by the Space Wolf geneseed, but they keep it secret from the rest of the Imperium."

They really like wolves.

whats the safest way to strip a bunch of resin models

same as plastic but dont leave them in too long, right?

>>51878354
Soak in engine degreaser for an hour.

>>51878354
You try using a rock tumbler, anon?
Short bath in Castrol Super Clean should be fine.

>>51878354
Safest way is to not strip them. But like super clean for 30 minutes in an ultrasonic cleaner should do fine.

Simple Green and a toothbrush

I know Power Daggers aren't the best weapon around, but that's just mean anon!

So lads, my friend literally just offloaded three crates worth of models onto me because he's not got the time to sort through 'em and he knows I hobby. I have no use for most of them, and I felt bad because he was essentially setting fire to money, so I offered to sort through them and sell them on his behalf. He said yeah, but encouraged me to keep the ones I like and said I can keep half of the proceeds. Still a pretty fucking great deal if you ask me.

My problem is that most of this shit was painted when him and his bro we're retarded teenagers. We're gonna need more Dettol, basically, because the state of these paint jobs has probably substantially reduced their value.

What happens to Dettol when it's used to soak minis? Does the paint liquefy, come off in solid clumps or what? I'm thinking if the latter I can sieve it out and raise, but if the former I'm gonna be buying enough I'll have MI5 up my shitter thinking I'm making bombs.

Help a brother out, lads?

Sorry boys, posting from phone on way to work.

>>51878499
the more you use dettol the gluggier and paint-filled it gets, you cant sieve it at all. it eventually just turns into a nurgle brew. your best bet is to soak them in dettol, then rinse them in methylated spirits while you scrub them, since the paint will come off and WILL settle out in metho, and then you can rinse them in water. if you rinse them in water straight from dettol you'll get some kind of horrific toxic paint-goo that you cant remove from anything.

>>51878532
to specify, if you soak a mini in dettol and then scrub it in the dettol, the paint will come off as a kind of dettol sludge.
if you soak it in dettol and rinse it in water to scrub you get a satan mess of paint glop
if you soak in dettol and scrub in metho, the metho stops the paint from globbing too much i guess and it settles out to a fine powder

Anyone ever work with these lads in pic? I was thinking of getting a pack to share with a friend. How easy are they to repose? I heard the plastic itself is awkwardly hard, but the idea of having 32 guys in 2 different poses makes me kinda queasy.

>>51878532
>if you rinse them in water straight from dettol you'll get some kind of horrific toxic paint-goo that you cant remove from anything.
THIS. Don't make the same mistakes I have, anon. Use methylated spirits.

>>51878502
>have this rare image of lost STC tech power armour templates.
Noice.

>>51878532
Sounds fucking horrifying mate. I mean, the bits I'm keeping are going towards a Nurgle army, but I guess covering myself and my minis in toxic sludge might be a bit too literal and also limit their resale market.

Am I gonna want disposable containers, then, I'm guessing? Sounds like I'm not gonna be wanting to put my lunch in the same Tupperware any time soon and they'll be a bitch to clean. Also, will alcoholic hand sanitiser suffice for the spirits? Mate of mine works in hygiene and has access to a pissload.

>>51878648
i wouldnt put them anywhere near food again to be honest, but you could with some work. I use a few big glass jars of instant coffee i had lying around.

as for the hand sanitizer.. maybe? but probably not. i doubt theyd hurt it though.

one thing to note is if the model is plastic or metal, all of the above is fine. but if it's resin, the kind of bendy plastic, you have to be careful and not let them soak too long or they melt.

>>51878677
Got it pal. I'll pick up some meth anyway (hi, NSA!) when I hit up the hardware store because my back yard for destroyed by the frighteningly named Storm Doris and some reconstruction work is necessary this weekend.

>>51878728
i'm just repeating stuff that i've learned in this thread, so others dont have to make the same mistakes. also, it goes without saying, but wear gloves. the metho will make your skin kind of prune up and shrink with exposed contact.

for a semi-permanent stripping setup you'll want:

dettol container
metho container
bucket for scrubbing (you need a stiff bristled brush like a toothbrush and you dont want to flick bits of paint goo everywhere)
and maybe a container just for rinsing with water.
and you'll probably want to do it outside.

>>51878771

My best tip is to use the P3 colors for the main colors. You can use other brands for everything else, but for the skin especially you'll want to own the official P3 color. It's a very unique blue that I don't believe even Vallejo matches perfectly, and it screams Trollblood as soon as you see it.

>>51872871
as someone, who has done that, yes, it works well

Warzone minis came in a bag of 80. The plastic is harder than what people are used to nowadays and the quality isn't that crisp. They're also closer to 28mm scale thank huge hands and baby head heroics.

>>51878499
Just sell them with the shit paint jobs at reduced price. I mean they're fully assembled already. And while you're saving people some time, I wouldn't pay any more because you pre-stripped them.

I've played two 1500 point games against an IG army exclusively made from bottlecaps and flat cardboard cutouts of Leman Russes. They were easily some of the funnest games I've played.

Before I fell in love with my BA, I actually wanted to play a pure SPESS VIKING spess wolf army.
