Does anyone know if WFB night goblin heads will fit on elf/human scale bodies? Got a bunch of them lying around and want to do some Renegades and Heretics conversions for 40keks, so thinking of taking them off, mounting them to robed human bodies, filing the noses and greenstuffing masks and facecloths to go for a Ku Klux Klan look like pic related.

Gonna need to cut or snap 'em off though, so want to know it'll fit before I destroy these minis' resale value.

Any skin experts around feel like giving me the bad news?

You can fill gaps with unthinned matte varnish like Vallejo's Matte Varnish just like you would with GW liquid greenstuff (which is shit BTW), but I've seen P3 gaps and some may be too large for this method and require physical epoxy or other filler.

You can either buy two part greenstuff or you can buy a bottle of plastic putty to fill gaps with in that situation.

How does one get a Johnny Marine? What is the exact name of the model so I can look out for it?

Building a Baal Predator for a friend as penance for wrecking him so hard and so often on the table. Thing is, I'm not only magnetizing it, but I'm converting it to a Chaos Infernal Relic Predator too. While the latter shouldn't be too hard (I can just leave off the BA icons and add Chaos bitz), any advice or guides for the former? I've never magnetized a Predator before.

I'm in the same boat my man. Making a Baal Pred myself and although I figured out how to magnetize the main gun (Will add pics) the side sponons leave me scratching my head. they don't leave you multiple parts for the rotating bits.

Model name is "Brother Craig". He doesn't have a model number or serial number or anything like that, and he only shows up on a single catalog to my knowledge (pic related). Just lurk ebay and hope to get lucky or keep lurking /wip/ threads; the OG Johnnyanon will often post links to any he finds.

>>51908576

You need a guide, it's not something you can explain in a 4chan post. You also need a Baal specific guide, and to mind the unique turret shroud and special gas tanks of the Baal.

Back.

1) I don't feel like there is any need to magnetize here, the ammo boxes and the flammer tanks fit quite snug on the back of the main gun. Though I guess it wouldn't hurt to magnetize it if you felt like it, should be obvious how.

2) Within the yellow circles is where I put the magnets. No need to put it on the Assault Cannon or Flame Storm Cannon itself. Just slip them into the rotating bits and when you put the cover on over top it will lock the guns in place quite firmly. I used 1/16" x 1/32" magnets for these.

3) How the Assault Cannon looks

4) And the Flammer.

Good luck.

YOU BEAUTIFUL MAN

I was initially trying to limit my search to citadel minis so I don't get shouted at for using them in my GW but I doubt I'd take a renegades and heretics army to the store anyway so I'll keep this in mind

many danke

Thanks a lot. If I ever get my hands on one I'll see about making a Death Company Johnny.

Just do what makes you happy. If you don't feel like painting today, then save it for when you do feel like it.

Of course I should also mention you probably shouldn't take my advice because I'm the slowest fucking painter in the world.

>>51908797
Eh, it's always been like this. I like modeling and converting... I'm just too broke to actually do it on a regular basis, or to do the conversions I want to do, and I hate painting with a passion. So my shelf's got a lot of grey or black plastic right now, and 1.75 vanilla mk3 Tacticals done in the span of a month.

Possibly an even slower painter.

>>51909096
strong, bold colours, generally decent coverage (except their yellow, which isn't terrible, but still quite translucent)
Some more exotic metallic colours (Radiant Platinum is rather nice looking, Blighted Gold is probably nice for corroded/corrupted gold).
It is a relatively small range, but many of their colours are grouped into triads or tetrads, which can be useful.

Do keep in mind that the paints dry with a satin finish, these are not matte by themselves.

>>51909108

Thanks, that's informative but I was referring to the small parts on the collar of the space marine

I see, here's how I did the metal, might have some redundant steps but works for me
Leadbelcher base -> Agar earthshade -> Nuln oil -> necron compound -> runefang steel for edge highlighting and scratches (sponges also work) -> typhus corrosion on the bolts and collars

how do you do the metal so neatly? I've been doing leadbelcher and a small amount dry brush with a lighter metal and then a wash with nuln oil but it still comes out looking ehh

>>51909352

I've wondered the same thing and the actual answer is that while the camera often makes your models look worse, it sometimes makes them look better and smoother too for things like skin and metal.

its modular ,so you can add to it. but no room so yes, i would jump.

also, lets get some more battlestations up in here

>>51909454
Depends how the model's broken up on the sprue: just replacing some of the parts for regular terminator parts will get you a decent conversion. I'd especially recommend swapping the head and making him look to the other way (& changing the arms appropriately). That way when you line your models up, the different facing angle of the converted & non-converted models will do a good job of hiding the similarities.

>>51909905
Most people don't really give a shit about the provenance of your miniatures. If the recast is dogshit quality you'll get made fun of, just like if you post a terrible paintjob people will tell you to strip it and try again.

If you start jacking off about how cheap it is or how you're sticking it to The Man or, the reverse, about how you're screwing a business you'll get made fun of and ignored.

Citadel paints come in really obnoxious pots that drip the color onto the rim

I kinda regret not buying the dropper kind, but now I'm screwed since I've painted too much of my army to swap colors

>>51910074
you can just put citadel paints into dropper bottles, you know

they don't melt non-citadel containers on contact

>>51910061
Needs more work. Do at least a couple layers of shadows and a couple layers of highlights, and try to make them smooth. Something like:

-Base tone
-Shadow 1: base tone + brown
-Shadow 2: add even more brown
- Highlight 1: base tone + bleached bone
- Highlight 2: add even more bleached bone

>>51910041
Depends what's available. Most people seem to use a mix of citadel or Vallejo. Vallejo is cheaper and comes in dropper bottles but for many is simply less available. If you ignore the price tag and bottles citadel paints are actually good and their washes and glazes are excellent.

>>51910107
thanks for the tip

>>51910166

I'm actually using Citadel and reaper. I picked up like 4 three packs at my one LGS for $12 because the price was right, and I fucking love them. It was my. First time using something that wasn't citadel. My only "complaint" is that they're already pretty thin and my wet pallette sometimes makes them too thin.

I do need to get some droppers for my citadel stuff, though. They made me realize that.

>>51910061

Honestly looks pretty good. You could keep going but I don't see a point unless you're painting this for display or competition.

The only thing I'd bother changing is the darkest brown part in the shadow of his biceps kinda stands out. Maybe brighten it up somehow if you wanted.

>>51910259
i am indeed painting it for a competition. the photo doesnt really pick it out but i even had a faint purple shadow under the vein to make the highlight more prominent.

At least when I have one finished as a concept I'll be able to work on several at a time in every step.

Don't like the look of the mixed shoulders though, but too late now due to plastic glue. Will just have to fix them in the last layer of sculpting.

I like his subtle approach. Not everything slaaneshi has to be covered in penis-tentacles and stuff like that.

Besides, she has a cleavage, an noble/elegant pose, (probably) pale skin.. perfectly slaaneshi in my book.

If you are quick with a paper towel, you can soak it up and squeeze it back into the jar.

I spilled Carroburg crimson, losing over half, and recovered to the point that I had 3/4 of a jar.

Then I spilled it again, and now have half left :(

Making good progress. Coats seem neat and clean already, but still need to give it some more depth as the skin still just looks like green plastic rather than skin.

>>51913519
you sure did pals! Imho, I'd make the bones more yellow-brownish, as I think they are suposed to be either dirty or old

Also, you should put some stuff on your base. I'm not an expert of how the lands in AOS looks like, but you should try to put some tufts, bones, rusty weapons, tomb stones, etc...

But you're learning fast, that's a great thing

Looks like good progress!

Sweet, thanks guys! I have been toying with the idea of putting some skulls or branches on the bases because my friend has a bunch of spare sylvaneth parts he doesn't want.
It's just the ghoul bases are so damn tiny there's no room.

I like the caramel color, its a nice fresh breeze of change when it comes to ork color schemes. Maybe add some weathering towards the bottom of the tank? Id also think a warmer color of red would go better with the caramel.

I picked up pic related based on their low prices. What shall I do with them?
I have:
>2 bags of approx. 28mm scale dinosaur fossils for kids
>30 assorted farm animals of dubious sculpt quality (also approx 28mm)
>A crappy "volcano", also for kids, whose footprint is about right for tabletop games.
>Already own various hobby materials - balsa wood, cork, flock, etc.

My ideas so far include a farm (ruined or intact) and a crude lookout tower atop the hill. I could always make the fossils into little objective markers or whatever, but I'd like to do something really creative with these materials if possible. Any ideas are much appreciated!

a farm could be cool for fantasy skirmish games, or you could make smaller "clusters" of animals based as objectives for something like an orc-y take on frostgrave or fairy meat. A sci-fi animal research facility could be both grim and funny too

This looks very oldschool in a way. Love it.

>>51910478
Awake again, so time to get some more done before work. Can't decide on mkIII or mkIV backpack on this guy. I prefer the look of the 3, but the smoother 4 fits in slightly better.
Also, shield and heavier armor represents MoN, as I'm not a huge fan of the standard Nurgle-look. Had a small DG-army back in the day, that's enough "traditional nurgle" for me.
Probably gonna do 10 bolter, 10 ccw/p, that'll be added together to a max squad in larger games (keeping ccw guys in the back so that they're the ones left when I get into close combat range)

>>51918713
hes got a Mk4 Helmet so Id go with the matching backpack

never been a fan of how the Mk3 backpacks look so i might be biased

>>51918792
I'm not too autistic about matching marks due to CSM, as they're likely to have looted and repaired over the millenia, but at least want to have the backbacks of the same mark across the squad, whichever I end up using. But think I'll go for the mkivs, as they've got room for trophy stuff on top

Chaos Warriors I think. Got a bit box with lots of old bits. Would've preferred a sword, but didn't have a lefthanded one (and sculpting marine fingers is a pain in the ass), so ended up with this rather than an axe or a chainsword, to fit the more Chaos Vult dark crusader look I'm going for.

dark wash on these will go a huge way to making them more spooky. they are very mid-tone in general. don't be afraid to bump up the contrast.

Ayy lads, need to scratchbuild me some Chaos Rapier batteries. Anybody got any ideas for something relatively "quick/easy"? Maybe a dirt cheap toy that works especially well with a bit of work?

Here's some of the stuff I've got for this squad that isn't chain-weapons. Mostly Chaos Warriors, then some marine power swords.
Got more on sprues somewhere. Then I've got around 15 chainsword arms from different kits, and should have some additional CSM ones in a box somewhere. Also got a lot of bolt pistol hands/arms. So i can make up for the sad fact that the 30k boxes doesn't come with bits to do ccw/pistol marines at least.

Thanks. Hope I can find some bits-store that can ship those cheaply to sweden. Could of course just bring out the plasticard, but scratch-made weapons always feel quite fragile at this scale.

>>51907683
People who drybrush smooth areas on models like Space Marines, why do you hate painting? Which of your parents molested you as a child?

And a serious question: how well does the Mephiston Red spray match the brush-on version? GW's had a bad habit of not making sprays that match the original pots in the past, and I've heard that's a problem with at least one of the current sprays (Retributor). I'm considering trying it for my Thousand Sons to speed things along a bit, but if if's not a good match, I might just get an airbrush and Mephiston Red Air instead.

>>51919386
No one, man woman or child, may stand against the might of... TIFFANY!

>>51919635
And I know that GW says it's a 100% match, but of course they'd say that.

>>51919635
I don't drybrush flat areas on my Marines, but I do hate painting. It's a lot of money spent that can't go toward more plastic to make better conversions.

>>51919386
Holy shit. Do up a whole unit like that.

How's my colour scheme trial looking?

>>51919959
It's looking extremely big.

>>51919959
Crisp and pretty.

>>51920000
For you.

>>51919959
I can't fault your execution, apart from a couple of the highlights needing to be neatened up, but I'm not sure about the blue on grey. They're a bit too similar to one another (both "cool" colours, fairly similar brightness), so they look weird together.

>>51919918

Snake, try to remember the basics of thinning your paint.

>>51919959

Looks like non-metallic Astral Claws.

It still blows my mind how cool the plastic Tartaros is, and better than the resin ones in almost every way except the knee detail, but then the plastic Mk IV and Cataphractii are so chunky and not as good.

Does the FW Chaos Knight come with the Renegade Knight transfer sheet?

So I completely redid my paint scheme.
Too dirty?

>>51920133

I've always thought that the resin Mk IV legs were too skinny and plain. I was happy when the plastic ones ended up being beefier and with those studs.

that's a recast autocannon isn't it?
Shit, nigger, what are you doing?

>>51920498

The resin ones have studs too if you buy the right kit. The plastic one just copied the resin ones. The beefier thighs are superior, but GW had to go and fucking make them squatters like 40k marines.

>>51920526
Fucking up.

I thought the shield looked silly in the normal position.

I'm trying to get better on errything else.

Also, can someone tell me how to git gud with highlights?

>>51920591
>can someone tell me how to git gud with highlights?
for starters thin your paints.
Make sure your brush is well shaped
Load your brush properly, not too much paint, not too little.
Run the SIDE of your brush along a raised edge to be highlighted.
Use multiple thin coats.

>>51920591

Focus on basic stuff like removing mold lines, thinning paints for smooth coats, and precision pinpoint washing or re-layering to clean up after washes before worrying about shit like highlighting.

The army so far. Making progress, but very very slowly!

>>51920591
>I thought the shield looked silly in the normal position.
See, it's supposed to act as some cover for the gunner so he doesn't get headshotted as easy. Yours is just protecting the tripod, I guess.

>>51920641
Oh, you're that guy making that sick-ass Dreadnought Sorcerer, right? Looks fucking sick.

>>51920642
Not that anon, but i honestly think shields on the cannon and not protecting gunners is very Imperium.

Guardsmen are cheap. Autocannons are not. Or am i thinking too much like a Krieger?

>>51920837
>Guardsmen are cheap
The autocannon isn't going to shoot itself. Keep your gunner alive or the Autocannon is going to get abandoned without somebody to fire and hump it back to base.

>>51920641
Looking great. What's the brown putty you're using?

>>51920881
Every man will have a passing knowledge of how to operate the expensive machinery. Cant always get another high value weapon into that position, this is Imperial Guardsmen we're talking about after all.

>>51920765
Yeah, and the bloodthirster thing coming out from some blood torrent stuff from its temple terrain as well. Usually post some stuff on here during weekends or before work in the mornings, as that's the little time I have to work on stuff.

Similar to GS,but with a different feel to it, and cures a little harder and less flexible (so less "bendy"). Quite useful, and just as cheap as GS!
Also use super sculpey for base details and main bodies of scratch sculpt etc.

>>51920993
>Has no knowledge of real world military operations or history
Do you know how many field guns, valuable to the war effort as they were, the Americans had to just abandon during the Revolutionary War, just because there weren't guys to pull it any farther?
How many operational MGs were abandoned in both world wars, just because wasting the manpower to carry it back to the line is a shit decision?
If that gunner is down, his gun is fucking down. and if you lose the fight and have to get out of there fast, that heavy ass gun is the first thing getting left on the battlefield.

I put on a layer of dry paint in a very shitty way and want to remove/ hide it. Should just paint over it or is their way to remove it? It was Eldar flesh on my Neophyte Hybrids' faces. I put in to were it cover the other layers to much.

Also done some slight progress on the juggerlord I started way back. Not sure he'll be used in the armylist I'm working towards, so he's not really a main focus.

>>51921158
Armour plates and such, especially anything that'll stick out a little unsupported by any wire armature. Also feels easier to get very smooth surfaces with, and when it starts hardening a little it's very easy to sculpt sharp detail and edges in.

And constantly making small amounts of progress on the bloodthirster base, as I use any spare putty I've mixed up on it. Not much of a focus either, as it'll only really be used for the Possession Daemonology power when I get some suicidal sorcerers done.

This isnt real world im talking about.

I clearly said 'very Imperium' which is not the same style. This is wave after wave of bodies to block the enemy's path, shooting someone in the head to save morale, 'you cant have X because Y forge world only makes a few', Imperium of Man.

So... how retarded would I be for wanting to kind of paint Stormcasts a copper colour using Nihilakh Oxide to give them that patina effect?

im pretty new the hobby and got a question for you guys. varnishes to be exact, i heard they add a protective layer over paints but my question is. I have a model that iv converted that is metal, plastic and resin, would the varnish protect the metal parts because i remember as a kid metal used to chip on the slightly bit of contacted

Guardsmen are cheap but autocannons are heavy.
Joe Guardsman isn't gonna want to make his hundred pound weapon weigh any more than it has to, especially if it doesn't give him a better armor save.

This is my HWT, the assistant gunner and the autocannon are not glued down but everything else is so how do I go about painting and basing this thing

>>51921596

It protects all the parts, but metal is the hardest to protect.

>>51921669
Now, this is how you assemble an Autocannon. Dunno how that optic works, woulda mounted it to the side of the receiver myself, but it looks freaking good.

So are the paint bundles that GW offers worth it, or are they overpriced bullshit?

>>51921713
I put the optic on there because there are no sights on the autocannon and even if there were the gunner is not low enough to be using them, but I guess that's just the BS3 at work.
I'm going with the optic having an uplink to the gunners glasses and him having some kind of HUD reticle to aim with

Also I'm scraping the mold lines right now pls no bully

>>51921756

They're not worth it. Just buy single pots of whatever GW paint you need, and if you can get a similar color from a cheaper dropper bottle brand like Vallejo get that instead.

>>51921776
I imagine the sights would be on the side like on a bren gun, or any other MG with an obstructive magazine, but you're right that it'd be too low for the gunner to see through it

>>51921806
How many paints would you recommend for starting out on something like Sylvaneth?
