What are your projects, what are you working on?

This beauty needs more cleaning and sanding but she's lovely.

>>51881725
Painting my Bloodstoker but goddamn I hate Gorthor Brown highlights. For some reason they always look messy and takes ages to clean up.

>>51881721
Modded looks way better, but have the hanging bit swat a bit with the motion of the rest of the model

one down two to go but already i hate panel highlighting

need parts ideas.

next project is going to be an Imperial knight that I want to do actually holding a shield and sword in hands. No idea where to get hands from, the thunderstrike gauntlets would be comically huge holding weapons i think.

is their any mini with hands that would scale well with a knight. Or will scratchbuilding be my better option.

>>51881796

Meaby you can use the cerastus knight hand?

>>51882455
you should probably paint the lenses, but it looks pretty rad other than that.

>>51876845
The shade absolutely helped. Gave it a hell of a lot more definition. As for the free-handing letters, they're a tiny bit wobbly but I don't think anyone's going to give you too much shit over that. Looks good, hombre.

>>51876672
Post a picture larger than 480x270 so people can actually make out the fucking details. For washes the answer is usually Agrax Earthshade or a similar dark brown. Yeah, I know, it sounds like a cop-out but I'm not joking. Only use black, like Nuln Oil/Badab Black, on bare steel or iron, or if you're recess-shading a grey or something like that. For something with greens like your tank, it wouldn't look right covering all of it.

As for rain streaks, I don't have much experience with it, but I'd say use some sort of off-white or cream color. The reason I imagine he's using white in that video is because, compared to the tan of the tank destroyer, the dirt appears much lighter. Kinda' like when you wipe dust off of a dark surface with a white rag or towel; on the dark surface the dust looks white-ish or grey, but on something actually white it looks black/dark grey. Try looking in the paint guide MEGA for the "How To Paint Tanks" book, as well. It's got some useful advice.

>>51881725
Got near to finishing my Lord of Skulls but got distracted by a new box of raptors. Also need to finish Kharn's pistol arm and assemble some ice skaters ready for a tournament on Sunday

>>51882455
Gilding on the chest and belt, as well as the grips of the glaive and his loincloth, look a little too flat. Gold on the glaive looks pretty good, the hair is the best part of the whole thing, Most of the paint looks a little too thick, though.

>>51881725
Need to touch up a vehicle then I'm doing a Guard squad. Yes, just one. I don't have a massive backlog unlike you nerds. The only problem is that my 3/0 brush recently passed on, so I'm waiting to get new brushes before I move on.

Made a Knight-Errant for my Shattered Legion. Afraid to paint the eyes as I am shit at doing eyes.

>>51882645
This looks awful. What is wrong with the standard scheme? Im afraid this comes of as "edgy".

>>51882940
I dont know what context they exist under, but they are a canon scheme for the custodes apparently, I prefer the big boys in gold myself, Im sure they do edgy shit for the Emprah.

Your thing looks good. Deathwing? The warm tone and shadows work really well.

>>51882994
They basically the most guardiest of guards.

In the only leaked half page about them, they're a rarely seen cadre who guard the deepest vaults, laboratories, prisons for the emperor. Basically the last line of defence, for really bad shit getting out (or in). In the tiny blurb this particular warder holds off a swarm of thousands of daemon possessed humans on prospero. Even building a wall of bodies several times his height.

>>51882787
You're giving me ideas for making use of my old plastic Champ...

Also, oftentimes it looks better to simply shade the area of the eyes than paint them in. If the mini has a squinty expression, just paint the lids then wash em.

Otherwise, standard procedure is paint a dark base (dark brown/black), dot on white, then dot on black. Just takes a bit of practice

>>51882677
>too flat

Do you mean more shading, or a brighter silver-gold highlight? Or both.

The loincloth needs a stronger highlight, and the gold... I'm not 100% because I didn't see it before highlights, but I think they may have overwhelmed it. I'd say try to add some shading to it, yeah. I think the gold on his legs might benefit from a bit more shading as well.

>>51883151
Thats pretty metal.

I'm probably just stupid but I'm looking through the assembly sheets for the Mortarch (going to assemble Neferata but that's not the point of this post) and on the first instruction there's a symbol with what looks like a paintbrush.

Basically, I'm not sure what it means as it's not in the symbol explanation box on the page before. I think it means paint before you glue it in but I want clarification before I do that especially since I've heard that painted surfaces don't glue well with plastic glue.

Anyone know what it means? Again, I'm probably being stupid asking this but I just want to make sure. I'm not building it yet though, was just reading through to get accustomed to how it's built to make the process easier when I actually do build it.

>>51883528

Bizarre that it's not on the front page at the very bottom. I just looked through all my shit and I can't find anything similar. I think you might be right on the nature of it, telling you to paint the piece before inserting it. Only other guess would be they're telling you to apply glue with a brush, but that seems far less likely.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help, bruv.

>>51883950
yes. those kinds of books work wonders at learning little techniques. honestly, anyone wanting to improve and has money to spare/waste should look for mini mentor tutorials, those masterclass books, etc, simply because they show you how great mini painters work, and how they do things that you won't just find on a blog.

Yours is awesome too, especially your weathering and basing.

Do people use watercolors ever? Is it worth experimenting? Is it even possible?

>>51882787
Paint iris dot, then the 'white', then the skin. I have no advice on eyeliner for figs. my Slaanesh Daemonettes are purchased painted or hired out.

>>51881761
Your panel highlighting is so crisp. I'm having some problems (overthinned the paint so it's very runny) with mine so I try fake it by thinning the lines a bit with the base color. It's closer to what you've done on the burst cannon on the right, than anything you've got going on with the rest of the model. Speaking of which, redoing it later given your skills could only be beneficial.

>>51885014
I dont think ive ever heard about people using watercolors, but I have seen plenty use oil paints. its unrelated, but another way.

>>51885059
I was watching a video where a guy was talking about "experimenting" with painting, and "using watercolors" was one of the random examples he threw out. But I can't find anything when searching.

I'll look up oil paints. Is that similar to gauche? I have always used acrylics, but I've gotten my girlfriend interested, and she mostly works with that shit.

>>51885014
I'd imagine it's possible; watercolor paints are sort of naturally transparent though, you'd want to paint on a white/bright undercoat. I've seen people do quick datk skin tones with brown and sepia inks, I'd imagine wayercolors would give similar results.

>>51883950
Not for the early or adequate painter, most of this is useful once you've had the sophomore realization that you're not any good and need to step it up. Most painters hope to get good enough for this to help. Having owned the first, its over my pay grade. I gave mine to a painter I use. He painted my Slaanesh Blood Bowl team for free.

>>51885014
Seen it done
1-white base primer
2 bright color scheme, do not overlap, may take several coats
3-watch the edges
4-No! Seriously watch the edges!
5-Seal with matte
6-Do high skilled edging to set off colors and cover where the paints go too mixed
7-use ribbons, etc to cover mistakes, yes, they will appear
8-Seal in gloss so they're easier to clean
9-kill the first person to handle with anything but fresh scrubbed hands, the rest will learn
10-Enjoy having a unique look to your figures

A fellow 25ish years back did this with his Grey Knights and they were magnificent. In a local game tourney, the best painted army was given a final 6+ save for armor and he got the bump 2 of 3 times. Crappy paint jobs and not fully painted figures lost a point of Toughness. Alas, he never made the final cut. Pretty figures, though...

>Do people use watercolors ever? Is it worth experimenting? Is it even possible?

I studied watercolour under Elizabeth Yarosz-Ash when I was in college. Watercolours are meant to be used on special paper which is really more akin to stiff cloth or "paper" currency that the wood-pulp-derived paper you load into your printer. I'd bet that the pigments and most certainly the binding agents - many of which are made from eggs - would not work on 28mm models they way that purpose-designed hobby paints like Citadel and Vallejo are.

>>51885072
Watercolours and oil colours is sometimes used for washes, but not real painting.

I've been taking Lithium for a few weeks now. My hands shake so badly I can hardly write. All of my dreams of painting and assembling beautiful miniatures have died.

Don't take your steady hands for granted /tg/

>>51885333
I've seen a tutorial of someone using a watercolour wash at the end of the process to put black lines in the recesses then wiping off the unwanted colour from the raised area (similar to oil washes but with water instead of turps). He used gloss varnish then a matte coat to seal it afterwards so I'd hope it was reasonably well protected, but hard to know for sure. I shall stick to acrylic and oil washes.

I'm interested in starting to paint up n imperial guard force of /tg/'s Hua Yuan Exterminators. I'm pretty confident I can manage the black flak and teal fatigues, but does anyone have any ideas on how to do the neon graffiti scrawls all over their armor? I'm also planning on adding some Leman Russ Executioners in black with the same graffiti scrawls all over them and the Chimeras. Grateful for any ideas, I'm pretty excited about this project.

From scratch? Don't the Dark Eldar have models with nets on them already?

>>51886023
Freehanding it would probably be your best bet. For the tanks with bigger scrawls you can probably print and cut out a stencil, tape it to the armour panel you want to scrawl on and save time that way.

>>51886088
I was more wondering about what paint or paints I would use to achieve that effect. Once I knew that, I was just gonna freehand little scrawls like you see people do on purity seals, but in a neon kind of look.

ARBCO? Isn't that the chemical company that has its headquarters in Springfield?

>>51886213
Gotcha. Nothing in the Citadel range seems quite eye-burningly offensive enough, but Vallejo's Squid Pink and Warlord Purple might do something for you. I would maybe basecoat the panels metallic, or at least trace the designs out first with something shiny before layering the pink or purple on to get that gleaming neon effect.

Alternatively if you're feeling particularly adventurous neon and UV paint is sold by fancy dress shops and stores that cater to hippies and ravers. It would be hilarious if your models literally glowed in the dark, but you would need to be very, very careful with how you apply it.

In the midst of cleaning my hobby desk, I found this piece, assembled but not yet painted. I originally bought a massive set for a Mordheim campaign, but alas as all story goes, I didn't even receive the package before my gaming group had tired and moved on.

Upon seeing this building again, I just wanted to start painting, and this is right in the WIP so to speak. As of now, Im currently working with weathering powders to create a even more rugged and weathered look. This is supposed to be Mordheim after all!

The Ork aesthetic is more than "spikes, rivets and guns".
It needs inherent "chunkyness", additions that look like it's been cobbled together from/repaired with scrap, not just having said scrap glued on as an afterthought

>>51886971
How do you work with pigments?

>>51887152
this times 10

>>51887237
apply them with a dry brush (where needed wash with white spirits to create local pin washes), then seal them in with an appropriate fixer.

>>51887378
>then seal them in with an appropriate fixer.
Using airbrush? I mean you would remove them if you used a brush.

>>51887237

It depends what your after. Right now I'm trying to make my rockwork look more realistic, so I water down several brown pigments to a wash consistency. I mix and match this on to the rocky surface and when it tries it doesn't "pool" as a regular wash would, bur rather dries as a very fine powder. This in turn can be manipulated even further, simply by running a wet thumb down the exposed area, leaving the powder in the crevices. Or you could leave it as be, for a more dirty look. And if your not happy, you can use it with just a tiny bit of water, for a more chunky effect. Or simply just use powder straight from the can. Remember that you do need to seal this one way or another, otherwise you might loose some of the effect over time (and end up with dirty fingers as well!)

Not bad, mang. Really solid, in fact. I will say, however, that the red of the wings could stand for a tad more highlighting.

not really (air from the brush will blow your pigments away, they're very fine and light).
Most Fixers can be applied perfectly fine by brush, you just work carefully. The pigment won't dissolve in the fixer, you just apply it over the pigment, not literally brushing it obviously as that would move the pigments around, but using capillary action to flow it over the pigment.

To quote from the page of image related:
"Use capillary effect to allow fluid to flow over pigment powder. Once dried, pigments are permanently adhered to the surface and return to dry color."

Honestly it's not that bad. Paint is fairly thin, so that's good, but you need more layers of blue it seems like, and of course some highlights.

>>51888491
They're old and tiny to be fair. Gnoblars would probably be viable if you ever did decide to go for them. Flinging sharp stuff isn't outside the realm of a grot, so you might not need to do -as much- conversion. Anyway, your use of the grot is a pretty neat idea.

>>51888582
Vallejo Game Color white primer right now. It's brush on, and for heftier models it can take an assload of layers to get it perfect. I'll probably start using a spray-on primer when I buy more vehicles, but if you've just got infantry paint-on is fine.

Your black should work fine assuming it's not dead.

Shades are intended to be thinner and have less surface tension to go into recesses, washes go all over.

>>51888763
>christmas is about giving

>>51888730
Going to assume you look at screens a lot, it's one of the main causes of trembling and poor dexterity. Sister at art school was told to avoid more than an hour daily while working on pieces requiring precision and dexterity. Surgeons also are advised against much screen exposure.

>>51888730
>>51888748
Similar to what that anon said, I keep my hands steady by bracing myself on things, like on the table, my chair's arms, and putting my hands together. When they're together- and it's not always possible when you paint something large- if your hands move the model moves with them instead of impacting. The problem usually isn't with the shaking itself, but the fact what you're working on isn't.

>>51888754
There isn't a difference. It's about how you use it. The old GW washes are the same as the new shade paints. If you apply it all over, it's a wash. If you only apply it to the recesses, it's a shade.

>>51888754

Shade is what GW calls washes. There is no difference. Inks are what is different but similar to washes. Glazes too.

Different brands have different properties. For example, GW "shades" seem to work best applied over large areas (and is, in my experience, terrible for detail work), while Vallejo "model wash" looks bad when used over a large area but is great for detailing small parts.

note that army painter inks are the same as washes/shades.

inks can also mean, like, pen ink. that has similar but different properties.

Realistically speaking, how hard would it be to use greenstuff to convert a daemon prince into something like pic related? The standard prince model is pretty boring and I like Berserk so I figured it'd give it a try. From what I'm thinking looking at the box for a prince online I'd have to make a new head entirely from greenstuff and add fur to a lot of key places like the back, arms and legs.

I've never really worked with greenstuff before but I've sculpted other kinds of putty before - does my experience with regular putty apply with greenstuff or no?

hey mangs, rate my alpha legion man

>>51892148
Nothing about him seems very Alpha Legion to me. Could use some green and/or purple. The brush work is a little sloppy and the metal needs highlighting.

>>51886399

Thanks dude those look like great choices, and now I have 2/4 colors I would want to have neon graffiti everywhere. Tomorrow I'll check vallejo for a neon blue and green and order up a squad of 10 guardsmen

>>51892148
im going to paint the details green like the eyes , and the front cloth red, and im going to use alpla transfers for the slouders , but is it a good paint job to be made with craft store paints?

>>51892041
>>51892067
>>51892083
Don't be happy with this, it's not very good. BUT it is headed in the right direction, it is clear you're washing, layering, and practicing brush control. Keep it up! You're also working on motherfucking CD, so more power to you

>>51892409
for craft store it's ok, but it begs the question why you'd buy expensive gw models and gunk up the details with low pigment crap

>>51892148
I like the shiny bits.

>>51892458
well i brought the d.v. set with a friend , and i am going through college here in tijuana, we have a tabletop store around here but the paints at least for me are crayze expensive, so i made the bases from another miniature and use craft store paints, but im saving my money for a paint set from ebay, waht can you tell me about those?

>>51892516
very little, as many paints are for sale on ebay

I'm about halfway done with this guy but it's been a bloody struggle to get to this point.

It's a converted WH Empire Greatswords standard bearer that I'm doing for a friends D&D character. I did a mounted version a few weeks ago (one of my best paintjobs yet) using quite a few mixed colours so keeping the two as consistent as possible has proven to be a challenge.
Building up a nicely shaded cream colour on the banner is next on the to-do list. Sadly I misplaced my old Kommando Khaki, so it'll be mixing paints until we reach Bleached Bone...

Sorry for the shitty pic, my phone-camera tends to flatten the colours and hide my painstaking layer work.

>>51881725
Working on the SM start collecting box. I'm trying to paint them as Imp Fists.

>>51892836
>my phone-camera tends to flatten the colours and hide my painstaking layer work.

This translates almost directly to

>There is enough contrast in my highlights for me, 2" away from the model, but nowhere near enough for tabletop or display purposes.

Be bolder, push contrast.

Yo guys anyone got any experience with model masters acrylic paints? Got a hobby lobby nearby so they are dirt cheap there so was thinking about picking some up.

>>51892927
Model Masters is shit, it's for painting model cars and planes. It's like Tamiya, pure garbage. Go with vellajo, reaper, or citadel.

>>51890978
Ive used these previously and regretted it. The main issue is that when you work under a magnifing glass you cant move your head, or your model very much at all before it goes out of focus.

Fnme for working on very small details for a short period of time, but if you spend an hour doing this it will quickly get uncomfortable.

I obviously dont know exactly what your eye condition is, but my advice would be to invest more in lighting. Have daylight globes and make sure the light is ambient rather than directional so it doesn't cast shadows. Then basecoat in white/grey and paint in lighter colours. Thats what i suggest.

>>51892783
>yfw the reason DE models are so sharp and dangerous is because GW is secretly trying to kill DE players

Hey /wip/, new to the hobby putting some Eldar Guardians together. I've only painted fully assembled models from the DOOM boardgame, so here's my question: For some models is it easier to paint then assemble, or just assemble the whole damn thing and then paint. I know it would be easier to prime when the whole thing is together, but I ask because the stance I'm doing for the guardians has their guns close to their chest, and some spots will be rather difficult to paint behind the gun.

Picked up BaC and can't decide between Word Bears and Imperial Fists.

Word Bearer is finished, although he's a test model so he looks a bit gross.

Fist is only basecoloured, but I'd paint the details black and silver.

What do?

>>51890462

They're pretty durable. It's not like he's sending anon a Mung vase or something.

Me too! I'm just worried I won't be as invested in their lore as I would with Bearers. I've never read much on them, but the idea of very vanilla Space Marines is somewhat interesting.

Pic related is fucking fantastic. Airflow so your eyes don't get sweaty, tons of space for large glasses, swappable lenses, and lightweight so you can wear it 24/7. It comes with rectangular lenses, they're just hard to see on this picture.

BACK IN MY DAY GUNS DIDN'T COME ON HANDS

YOU HAD TO CUT THE GRIP OFF UPHILL, BOTH WAYS

KIDS THESE DAYS GLUING THEIR ARMS ON BEFORE PAINTING BACK IN MY DAY WHY WE DIDN'T EVEN GET TO GLUE THE ARMS ON UNTIL WE WERE ALREADY OLD

>>51894215

Leave the gun off. Hardcore painters and airbrushers don't even assemble shit and paint every single component separately except for components that come in halves like torsos.

>>51895107
The old way was way better because you got complete bolters you could use as accessories for other purposes. The new way is shittier but you get the privilege of paying more money for it.

Guy paints a nicely done Imperial Knight, uses some standard imperial ruins on the base.

Someone remarks that it looks a bit like a church, the owner flipped out a bit. Much fun was had. Now if you post a knight, be prepared for the memes.

Finished this piece up today and took some better pictures. Pretty pleased on how it turned out, though this is only 1/4 of the actual building... oh well, just 3 more pieces to go!

>>51883950
i own book one. its 90% airbrush techniques.

>>51895659

No, as >>51895655 pointed out, its a set from Escenorama. They make multi part resin casts, that is aimed to build stuff the way you like (you get walls, floors, roofs and ground parts to mix and match).

I cant really recommend the product due to several factors. First being, its a "craft on demand" type of deal, which in turn means you get your stuff just about 6 month after you forgot you ordered anything in the first place. So a long wait ahead if you have a go with it. Second, as with many companies not GW, you don't get any instructions at all! You just get a few bags with seemingly random resin parts, the rest if up to looking at blurry pictures from their website and try and mix and match. And third, the fit isn't exactly LEGO if I may express myself mildly, and it takes time to get just about anything to fit. The cleaning and scraping wasn't too bad, though you have to keep in mind its a building and not a 28mm fine detail model.

So while the end result might be pleasing, I wouldn't order it again if I had the opportunity.

I seem to recall reading that GW were releasing a new set of paint bundles soon.

Was there an ETA for same?

>>51895690
Arent the EC the only ones allowed to use that? Or did Dorn get a special pass once he baecame Praetorian of Terra?

EC were the only legion allowed, but individuals who earned it can wear it too. Like Garro and his giant fucking eagle collar.

That doesn't count Dorn though, only Forge World make primarchs anon. Mrk 3 to 4 armour is still in use in 40k though.

Hey guys,
I've almost finished those guys, but I don't really know how to paint the sword handles.
I was thinking about turquose, marble green or bronze, but I fear some of those may not work well with the yellow/white blades...
Any suggestion of any kind is appreciated!

Id stick with a different type of brown, to signify that the handles is just curved wood that has been manipulated through some sort of magic.

Otherwise I really like your guys, its nice that you decided to go with some green and turquoise for some of the shades and highlights.

>>51892041
Doesn't look that bad, not sure what other anon is talking about. I have to level with you, though, I thought it was a gnoblar sticking his nose out of a set of elf armor he's hiding in until I looked at the other pictures.
