Grots are great to add to a vehicle, they won't break off too easily as they're on the top and won't snag anything and look neato
Might paint up more for the other vehicle

Eh, it's only a troop box. $30 for a set of Scions. Figured I'd take them for Kill Team, not such a fan in practice. Been the same with other armies, haven't gone past a discounted troop box. Except Tau.

have you considered that it might just be the format in which GW games' are designed that turns you off?
i.e. paint 50 of the same miniatures until you got a basic army.

I'd recommend trying a skirmish game instead. If you got about a dozen minis you are basically done. Depending on the system all unique and a challenge on their own to paint.
It's a lot more fun.

Here are the brothers

>>51922153
They *are* painted, believe it or not.

>>51922173
>all unique and a challenge on their own to paint.
This is about 75% of the problem right here. I hate painting with a passion; I love conversions, but they have a semi-annoying tendency to sit as black-primed plastic for a long time afterwards. If commission painters charged anything remotely reasonable, I'd ship them off to one of the local guys that does it.

Plus, "all unique" models in skirmish games... that are all identical across different players. Not my thing.
Doesn't help that our Infinity community is led by the guy that duped me into buying into 40k by claiming "we've got a ton of players still, you'll get plenty of games!", then letting me know a week later that the store had stopped having any 40k players come in months ago and they were actively encouraging Dropzone and Infinity over 40k, to the point of cancelling 40k events for skirmish open play, full-scale politely declined. Considering the group is almost exclusively "that guy's friends", I have no intention to support him again, with my dollar or my patronage.

>>51922235
>Base coat

>Army painter tone of the right colour

Congrats your army is painted in 20 minutes a model.

>>51922278
Were it only that fast. My 30k Marines (the one faction I intend on sticking with) take me 3-4 hours per model, skipping the highlight part.

>>51922235
>I hate painting with a passion
Yeah, then it doesn't really matter what mini you pic up.

Unless you do necrons or tyranids for 40k.
But if you don't give a fuck about 40k anyway you don't have to worry about that either.

Is there even a game that you actually want to play yourself?
If you're pissed off about the whole thing with 40k painting the models is hardly gonna be fun either.

I'm similar, except that when I pick up a brush I do enjoy it. I just enjoy converting a lot more. And picking up a brush takes a lot of determination.

Seriously though, the commission painter thing is a possibility. Or you could see if one of your gaming buddies is wired so that he hates building models, but loves painting them...

I fucking want my conversion bits to arrive this week. Can't wait to start fiddling with those things, god dammit.

And I want something different to work on after non-stop painting up AdMech models to MAYBE finish in time for Saturday with 5 1/2 Kataphrons still left to paint and having my next chance of painting them on Thursday.

Does anyone have any tips on how to do large areas of very red rust? Like that on an oxidized I-Beam?

>>51922304
>Is there even a game that you actually want to play yourself?
I enjoy 40k, sorta. As mentioned above, most of my experience is with Tau, and I hate their play style, but I still have a decent bit of fun with it. I don't really like wargames in general, and like 40k specifically for the models first, game second. If there was a better solution to digital 40k than Tabletop Sim, though, I'd switch over in a heartbeat, sell my collection, and never look back. Even with the loss of conversions.
I do like some of Infinity's aesthetics, but dislike the gameplay. Handful of Flames of War lying around, but I moved away from where the community was. DZC/Warmahordes/Sigmar never did either, KD:M is prohibitively expensive.

>If you're pissed off about the whole thing with 40k
I harbor a grudge, but I found another store that does have a community, and I've been playing there even if it's more distant.

>Seriously though, the commission painter thing is a possibility.
Not on my income. I have yet to see a remotely acceptable-looking commission painter that's within my discretionary spending for a *year* to afford, let alone to have do all my models.

Ugh. So much painting to do.

>>51922408
I'd love it if there'd be a market for making conversions but not painting them. That way you could build stuff for people, sell it and finance someonr to paint your own stuff. It'd be great.

And if I were you, I'd honestly just ask one of your friends with acceptable painting skills to maybe paint some models for you for a few six-packs of beer or just give you a friend-price.

I started working on some of it, and now I think i like the GW scheme better. Wat do? strip it all (its a ton), an hero? power through? fuck

>>51922925

I prefer brighter greens like this one, but if you prefer GW's dark green you can just put a thin layer of dark green over that. Looks thin enough to paint over if you thin your paints.

Fuck. Im super indecisive about this shit

>>51923003
I use oil washes so that wont work, but I might try the GW green glaze

>>51922999
No Phosphex. Rad is still good if you find a non-Destroyer/Moritat platform for them.

>>51922925
I unironically like that scheme. Just sleep on it. Come back in a day and see if you feel the same way before making any decision.

I want to do a different theme for my nurgle bikers than "fat guys with engorged bellies on choppers"
Preferably something with a different bike entirely than the standard, like the MK IV outriders or a conversion entirely. The MKIV are sleek but much like Thousand Sons they're husks. Or perhaps using the old frame I could make the frame of the bike completely rotted, with bone and flesh growths that almost encase the rider, using it as a host.
Any suggestions?

>>51923048
I liked it for the longest time, now that im finally sitting down to paint it, i dont like it nearly as much. It doesnt seem salamander enough if that makes sense

>>51923200
I was thinking of converting WHFB/AoS Chaos cavalry and giving them bolters. Sort of "horsemen of the apocalypse" theme.

The horses especially look like they could be cyber'd/Nurgle'd up pretty easily.

I made a Morkanaut out of a Gundam Zeon Mobile Worker. Most of the non-gundam parts are from the Wazbomma kit. That kit has good bits left over for days once you decide which flyer you're building. The gundam itself was a little too short for a 'naut, so I hacked up the shield it came with with some extra sprue and an ork glyph air intake to extend the torso, which had the added bonus of giving it a rather orky physique. I ran out of space for the weapons loadout it was supposed to have on the torso due to putting both twin-linked big shootas there, so I made the head as the kustom mega blasta. This thing is going to be hell to paint.

The torso compartment is also magnetized and opens on a hinge to sort of almost make the transport capacity feasible.

That's the complaint. Not "get a living wage"- I live that every day, I know how it feels to be underpaid. Effectively $50-75 an hour, on the other hand, is a little high. And a little cost-prohibitive to have even a squad done.

So I just started getting back into painting and I'm having a shit time at highlighting my marines. I've been doing a decent job everywhere besides the helmet. I've been painting up some crimson fists so it's a pretty dark blue, but whenever I highlight the brow area above the lenses it just reminds me of blue fucking eyebrows. My base is the typical kantor blue then a nightshade wash and a highlight of alaitoc blue. Anyways is there some way I can highlight the brow area without it looking like blue eyebrows?

Basically anything you can think of doing one handed insert emperor's children joke here.

Most poses are easy enough to convert if you use a closed fist from a pistol or ccw or an open hand from a supporting bolter hand.
You can just add a finger or two with GS easily if the hand is resting on something.

Anyone here do or have done commissions? Sisters anon from last thread here, and I've gotten a 3rd person asking about commissions. If, and that is a big IF, I do commissions, what are the expectations? What do I charge? What other crap should I be thinking about?

To be perfectly honest, the 1000 grit is probably excessive. Ultrafine grit like that is usually for polishing cars, but my autism demands the GS be indistinguishable from the plastic. fine grit and superfine grit should be fine.

Check some online painters, there are some reasonably priced ones out there.

>>51925492
Check some other commission painters online, then you can gauge your skill level and prices. If you get no orders, you're charging too much, if you get swamped, to little. Over all, you have to find a price with which you're comfortable.

>>51923930
My commission rates end up being like $3 an hour on line infantry because I'm always scared to charge more appropriately for the amount of work and ask more than the box itself cost. Big box sets are even worse because you'd have to charge like $200 to paint dark vengeance on the low end. It's why I prefer to paint heroes because it's easier to ask for more and recoop your lost time invested.

This is very very big for an image, and you could shrink in a program like mspaint, to make it a third of the size - plus the file size is like a 15th of the size and it would still look fine (pic related)

So, quite a few theads ago I asked on how to make bases that look like they are in the Warp. The problem with simple over the top elements is the nature of Warhammer and Warhammer art makes it hard to actually make something Warpy. Skulls are fucking everywhere, pools of blood and pussy swamps exist in the material plane due to Daemon proximity, lava isn't unique, and the nature of magic in Fantasy and just how the entirety of Age of Sigmar works even makes psychedelic ground colors seem mundane.

So here's my idea. Using greenstuff I will sculpt a multi-layer base with long organic threads like vines or tree branches, but then cover them in super heavy acrylic gel. This then gets an ink coat in the color of whatever kind of Daemon it is, and a quick drybrush of a few related colors sporadically. Each Daemon will appear somewhat elevated above the "ground" which will be plain black and meant to be ignored.

While a swamp is mundane, a swamp pocket held up by what looks like swirly sickly green transparent tendril clouds is Warpy. Meadow flowers are mundane, meadow flowers held up by swirly purple tendril coulds are not.

My army is Slaaneshi so I'll be experimenting in that.

Thoughts?

Hey /wip/persnappers, I've been looking into building a cheap AoS army of Greenskinz. I wanna make the skin a more neon/light green, with dark iron/silvery weapons armor. Boars would most likely be black with some lighter grey drybrushing. Pic related is what I'm thinking.

Just (finally) finished my first Kataphron. Does that color scheme fit with the other dudes? Went pretty heavy and dark on the metal and didnt really find a lot of good places to apply the white to, so I figured I might as well do them a bit different.

Also tried to simulate a rust kind of thing on the treads, since metal on metal with some metal would've looked incredibly dull. First time doing any tread weathering and rust, turned out kind of alright I think.

No idea why the colors appear as bright and shiny in that image as they do (especially the copper tones looking golden) while the Kataphron's blue parts are near black. It's more in line with the other units IRL.
Hooray, only 5 more of these fucks to do over the course of 2 days!

>>51928912
Where did you buy these minis? I have never seen them.

>>51933786
I'd maybe make that front red panel white instead - I think that would help pull them together a bit more.

I'm not sure where else you could use red as the spot colour though.

Finished a primus medicae for my Death Guard yesterday.

>>51933823
Yeah, was split between either doing that panel red or white as well. Opted for the red instead since I like to have a few easily recognizable red parts on my AdMech guys but don't want it to be a primary color either. Only having those small red plates between the treads would be barely noticeable, so a panel in the "propulsion half" of the Servitor seemed the most appropriate spot.

>>51933786
honestly I think you need to dig more into the white and blue. make the front panel blue, and maybe make those tassels on the magos blue as well. also that bit in the tracks should be blue as well. it looks a bit all over the place now

>>51934052
>>51934118
Needing more white, I think I actually do agree with after giving it some more thought. The color theme's distribution is supposed to be:
>robes and primary vehicle plating = white
>inner coat, electronics and lights = red
>secondary armor plates and body armor = blue with bright silver
>open machinery = dark silver

So I'll have to disagree with making the chestplate white and front plate blue. I think however that having a white front plate and white "hip socket" on that Servitor would probably improve things quite a bit. Maybe do those two front nubs as red lights to still have it present on the front facing.

Also, thanks for the compliment! I am pretty proud of my angry Ork slappers myself.

I'd keep things consistent and do their energy stuff in the same teal that the flames on the staff are. Might be a bit much blue in one place but if you shade it well it'll most likely pay off to have all magic things in the same color.

Just finishing up magnetizing a Baal Predator for a friend.
Was just about to glue together the turret when I noticed some odd markings. Not really sure where they came from, but I can't seem to remove them. I guess they'll be stuck there FOR-EV-ER, even when my friend runs it against me. Oh well, at least they're in a spot no one will be able to see.

Anyone else seen anything like this? Any idea who could have done such a thing? The marine who was guarding it said he didn't hear anything aside from a friend giving him tactical advice over his vox.

That sounds like a pretty cool idea as well, actually. Allows for a ton of nifty conversions with Guard vehicles.
These guys' Forge World is tasked with getting cryptic, ancient Blueprints to work again and have been under siege from dozens of Waaghs for millennia to the point of the Orks thinking that the Mechanicus can somehow get everything to work, which means they actually can make all those blueprints work, but the moment they send their prototype off to Mars it breaks since it only worked due to Orks thinking that they get things to work. Means they rarely ever bring in good results, meaning Mars never gives them funding, support or the Archmagos a promotion, which makes the Archmagos angry enough to go and beat up "those dirty sabotaging Greenskins" himself with a giant Power Cane.

those flames are definitely teal. are you colourblind?

>>51934664
I'm actually currently putting together that guy as his own mini and even worked out some rules for him.

It's basically going to be a giant mace the size of Cawl's axe and designed like the Rod of Office all Tech-Priests have. Just bigger. Much bigger. I have no fucking idea where to get a skull large enough for it.

>>51934648
The flames come out pretty teal on the image (blue/green). Either way, the suggestion remains that I'd just use the same color throughout.

>>51934633
Well, that IS also a way to use magnetizing and it's pretty damn useful, but also much rarer than a simple Wargear-swap magnetization.

>>51934760
I'd just take a skull from one of those skeletal kid's toys they have in museum gift shops and stuff, depending on how large you want it. and of course it's always worth asking around at your LGS

>>51934633
>I had thought it might be magnetizing the whole thing to make it easy to carry without damaging it.
That can be done too, though often its more of an unintended side effect of magnetization than the primary intent.
Some fragile minis are much easier to transport in subassemblies (combinations of parts that aren't quite the complete mode, but easily fit together make the full model; it's kind of like how some mecha or robots combine to make even bigger robots) than they are fully assembled.

>>51934832
>skeletal kid's toys they have in museum gift shops
Why have I been so blind to not have that idea myself? You just enlightened me so much, holy shit, thank you. I've been combing through Sigmar and FB sets for days trying to find something with a skull bigger than ~4mm with no luck.

when the crusade leads into to the eye of terror and you just got out of the scout company

Hey WIP I have a question. So I really wanna put some custom decals onto shields and banners for my army, but I'm shite at free handing. I have the design I want in picture form. What I was wondering was if I took and scaled it down and then cut it out of masking tape and put the tape over what i wanted the design on before painting in the cut out areas do you think that would work? And when i peeled the tape back would it strip paint from the area it had been covering?

Kinda my worry.

Also like bikers (the othe DW variant without mk8 collar) a grill full bugs and other debris seems near unavoidable

They use a hard resin. You have to wash it. As usual, but the quality is rather nice and they shipped to alaska pretty quick.

>>51935625
masking tape shouldn't peel dry pant.

Otherwise you can consider printable waterslide transfers.

>Also like bikers (the othe DW variant without mk8 collar) a grill full bugs and other debris seems near unavoidable

that kind of logic is not allowed in 40k and will lead you to a bad place

while that helmet definitely stands out on that assault marine, it doesn't look too stupid or anything. I say go for it. could make him a special dude, like the sergeant or an upgrade bearer/whatever

I used to put helmets on all my CSM because it seemed retarded to me to operate in potentially hostile environments without an environmentally sealed suit

but then I realized CSM are covered in all kinds of mutations and armor damage and other shit so it would severely limit my modelling/converting prospects, so I went with no-helmet heads on all characters and it turned out really nice, makes them easier to pick out. plus I really wanted to use the GW chaos mutations sprue

it's chaos, I aint gotta explain shit. even for loyalists though, meh. I have grown to like the no-helmet characters for all armies.

that's pretty damn good display quality, if you really wanted to improve anything I guess you could go for more definition on the face. right now the face mostly just looks like a single color. overall it's 5/5 tho my man. or m'lady.

>>51935978
well it's the most popular, but there are plenty of other posters painting IG and orkz and nids and eldar and tau and daemons, some I remember by their painting styles

in my years of /tg/ shitposting the weird thing is that I rarely ever seen necrons posted on /tg/, despite the "easy to paint" meme. never see WIP crons or even lists. their power level is gud tho

>>51931795
That looks pretty good! I'd love to see a whole squad or a larger model (vehicle etc.) done with this technique if you have any pics?

Okay, so I posted this a while back, and when I did I was told it needed to be shaded. I've been working on assembling the others, but now that they are all at the point where I'm going to start painting them soon I need to revisit how I paint them, and I was hoping for some specific advice.

As far as shading goes I had actually shaded this, though apparently not enough. I took Rikeland fleshshade to the face and I didn't like the splotchy drunken look it gave it so i went back over and cleaned up non recessed areas. Perhaps I was overzealous when painting and got rid of too much of the shade.

As for the armor I hit some of the recesses and under her uh assets, with nuln, and then went over the whole thing with a watered down nuln oil wash a few times, but apparently that's too subtle. I'm afraid to just slather it in nuln because it took a lot of effort to get the white plate like that and I don't want to fuck it up. I understand it looks a little flat, but I'm afraid it'll just come out looking worse after i'm done. I'm really not very good at painting.

So WIP i ask you, what do I do? Advice? Useful videos I should watch? Maybe some pictures showing what you do?

>>51935566
In practical terms, I don't think there's any difference. "Pretending to be obnoxious" is a pretty circular idea

First off, that is a very nice display quality paintjob. Well done.

>What should I try to improve next time?
You could look up some references for the NMM stuff next time and try to sharpen up the contrasts there. Right now you have a very smooth, creamy transition between bright and dark. That looks nice, but is not representative of how metal reflects light.
Depends on what style you are going for though.

Either way nice job.
I also like the presentation. The base does a good job of framing the model. Some painters kind of go a bit overboard on that and create huge displays that overshadow the mini itself. You didn't do that, which I like.

>>51936080
I've no time tried it on a vehicle yet but it should be relatively easy as long as I don't get any streaks or pooling.

I listen to full shows of Alex Jones, theyre about 3 hours each. Its time you joined the infowar.

>>51936428

Yeah i'll admit that doesn't look half bad. I don't understand why multiple layers of shade is any easier than a few layers of paint though.

>>51936456
Painting that much yellow is a pain because they need loads of thinned coats. I was able to paint those 10 marines in less than an hour (excluding drying times).

Is there a cheap way to add some weight to terrain? I'm going to be making a couple of buildings that don't need interiors, and I'd like it if they weren't so easy to nudge around or knock over accidentally. Is there anything that I can put inside of them that won't rattle around and won't break the bank?

>>51936974
Thin your paints. Google "how to make a wet palette" and spend those 2 bucks for a superior life experience.
Mostly thinning your pants tho, honestly. Your brush control seems ok so doing thin coats will cause a huge improvement.

>>51936974
>how do I get smooth painting
Brush on thin layers, don't slap it on with a spoon.

>>51936974
>>51937056
Also, don't prime black if you want to paint bright.

>>51937051
Also, get some washes (most importantly Nuln Oil and Agrax Earthshade and Reikland Fleshshade if you want easy skin) to give your things some depth by applying those to the recesses once your basecoat is down.

>>51936901
The chains flying everywhere really ruin that model. It would look so much better without them.

>>51933588
>I almost feel like I need another accent color but can't think of one that wouldn't be horribly clashing
Look at the Seattle Seahawks uniform. That's the color scheme you're using.

>>51936157
This thing is really hard to judge with how out of focus it is. Get a good picture, then we can give critique and advice. Right now I honestly can't see any difference to before and I'm the guy that originally told you that it really needs some depth.

>>51936901

Looks way better than the last WIP. I liked the shading on the red and the drybrushing result, but it looked like shit without the metal details and brighter layers.

Final result is great though.

So how would Mournfang Brown > Tyrant Skull Dry > Agrax wash with Nihilahk Oxide highlights sound on a Necron army? I really want that antiquated look.

>>51937150
I have no idea what it'll end up looking like but I want to see it.

>>51936654
I lightly drybrushed/stippled it with tau light ochre. Then, i did the same with skrag brown (but a little under the first color). Watch saint Duncan's "tip a day" on that. Here's the link: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=NVx62P6LLPg

Clearly painting miniatures and playing with fire are equivalent

>>51937254

Being taller is a disadvantage and their base is the same size, go ahead and use it. Chaos have Contemptors too though if I'm not mistaken.

>>51937150
>Mournfang Brown > Tyrant Skull Dry > Agrax wash

I don't know, but since this was my plan on doing brown rocks on my desert bases you're probably going to have a bunch of patina stained stone Necrons.
