i love your army, anon

>>52056164
>table top isnt a set amount of paint or washes

Yes it is, its the set amount of effort required to be put in to allow your army to participate in most if not all major events.

Thats why its known and has been known for a long time as TABLETOP standard, as its the standard effort of paint job you need to attend events that arent your local FLGS.

The term is over a decade old, and is a carry over rule from when GW still ran tourneys. It is still used in major events like the ITC even to this day.

Thats objective fact, anyone whos ever been to an old GW grand tourney knows it.

When anon ran off at the mouth about tabletop standard he was wrong. Google is your friend.

What do you guys use to remove mold lines?

>>52056440
Files and hobby knives.

>>52056420
bull-fucking-shit.
I've played for now 15 years, attendedlots of tourneys and never used TTS to describe something with 3 colors. That's always been the painting MINIMUM to attend, whereas TTS describes a decently painted army, which looks good on a table. An army with the 3 color minimum doesnt.

Go back to work, anon.

>>52056869
Dunno where you are but spring is usually too humid. Humidity more than cold fucks up priming.

>>52056749
Resolution is passable, it your lighting and focus that fucks with the image.

>>52056861
Buy a really cheap airbrush and use it for priming. Don't have to worry about humidity and you'll make the money back after priming a bunch of models. Much more economically friendly than spray cans.

I've got into this argument with people before. They think GW tourney standards define tabletop standard, but the term tabletop standard predates those rules by quite some time.

Hobby Compressors take up as much as a desktop PC cabinet, as for mess a spraybooth is pretty essential.

Suction optional.
compressors is in the grey box with the handle.

So the compressor that comes with it is that not sufficient? Apparently it runs hot. Pic related.

Should I also pick up a cleaner and pot holder or would blasting water through it be enough for now?

If it's not obvious I'm completely oblivious of airbrushes.

>>52059100
i use a badger krome (https://www.amazon.com/Badger-Air-Brush-RK-1-Additional-Regulator/dp/B0078MEXX8) airbrush with that same exact compressor in that picture

the compressor is not the best, but the airbrush is 10x more important that the compressor, and i honestly do not notice any real difference between this and a high end compressor except it is hard to run the cheap compressor at higher pressure and get steady flow, but being that you will be airbrushing models you do not wan to go above 20 psi anyways wich it is pretty good at supply consistently.

>>52059046
Yea.. sad to say I think the space requirements are a bit beyond what I can accommodate.

>>52059160
Don't higher ene compressors have a tank so you can spray without a constant compressor drone.

yes, but the compressor noise does not bother since you get used to it and i usually listen to music anyways

IMO the extra money is not worth it unless you are a pro, spend the money you would spend on a better compressor on a better airbrush.

>>52056348
CNC worskshop forklifts, nice.

What's a good colour to put between my black prime layer and a top pink layer to keep the pink reasonably bright without 50,000 layers.

Was thinking Celestra Grey or Mephiston Red.

>>52059350
You were told not to do that shit faggot.

>>52059468
mephiston red is a good choice since it covers really good.

consider priming in white though, will save you a headache for lighter colors

>>52059511
Don't have a white primer since I can only brush my primer since I live somewhere where it's too cold to prime outside just now and I don't have space for an airbrush area.

I'll try Mephiston. Hopefully the red under the slightly transparent pink might make it look better.

>>52059540
just use your brush with vallejo grey primer

if you cant airbrush then apply the mephiston and then the pink

>>52059565
Vallejo grey primer is the truth. I have a big bottle of the stuff and I swear by it. Doesn't obscure detail, bonds to plastic, resin, and metal, and brushes on easily.

Just start with light grey and go up to white and dont fuck up when applying the black.

>>52059673
I'm not a big fan of white schemes, just because the vehicles tend to look really boring.

But if you do it, you'll want to use a very light grey instead of white, otherwise it'll look very bad.

>>52059540
Vallejo do a massive range of coloured polyurethane primers, including white.

Give it to your dog and let him play whit it for a few minutes.

Actually you can sponge typhus and also I recommend using ak interactive grime streaks for yellow vehicles. Is a enamel wash and works really well with light colored vehicles and armor. And also you may want to check this video, it was really useful for me:

>>52056348
TOM, is that you?

>>52060056
Vallejo Light Grey or Ghost Grey MIGHT be light enough, but you might need to do like a 1:1 white to Light Grey ratio depending on how dark it actually is when it dries. I know the GW paint that is recommended is Ulthuan Grey if that helps give an idea of how light you want.

I know the grey primer dries pretty light, so light grey by itself might be alright.

Hows my ork skin /tg/? tried out a different approach, and changed the colors around a bit.

>>52061142
I thin them for hand brushing. Vallejo and Reaper I thin at about a 4:1 ratio of paint to water.

>>52059141
the guy on the left has seen some shit.

>>52061142
Probably a bit, but the thing is, don't expect every pot to be exactly the same. Thin as needed, not to some set percentage.

>>52061142
yes but you're over thinning them. There's not a single paint line that doesn't require some thinning out of the bottle.

>>52060942

>>52061206
Its from Viz Magazine. I think its the only one like that.

>>52061131
i will give it a matt coat later. some colors are very glossy. especially vallejos black, which i mixed with several colors.

>>52061158
old/school

are you supposed to thin washes if you want them to be more subtle? or do you just apply less

>>52061158
I like it, I assume this is more drab and desaturated than your usual skin? It's a cool interaction with the very saturated armour and gear.

I'd probably go for a pink/purple on the gums though, the red is too similar to your (very distinctive) armour.

>>52056420

You clearly have no idea what your talking about friend.
TTS is not the same as tournament standard, or minimum standard. The difference is what many have already pointed out, one hand is an army that looks respectable at arms length. The other is what fat neckbeards use as a poor excuse of a paintjob to play army´o the month every chance they get on your local tournament events (I'm talking 3 colors minimum).

any ideas on what kind of metallic base paint to use to get this sort of mottled look?

I'm familiar with painting candies, what I'm specifically looking for is how to best get the sparkle effect with the silver metal base.

>>52061475
First off, you should thin your paints, now it looks all clumpy and detail is lost. Youd also want to concider getting a highlight color for each basecoat color you have. As for color choices, black and white looks very dull without some other color to compliment them.

>>52059141
If it makes you feel better, i just used your mini because of the pose. I think it looks fine

>>52061199
Thanks, though not quite sure how I would do a soot effect. Streak black? This is a new kind of weathering for me, haven't done fliers.
>>52060396
Ooh, this is pretty nifty. I could certainly give it a shit on the lower portion alongside the soot effect

>>52061501
Sparkle will be hard, my best advice would be to simply put metalic on a old toothbrush and flick it on the model to create those sparkles

>>52061475
thin your paints, baka desu

>>52061532
Oh, not a bad idea. Would the paint need to be very thin, to avoid it making bumps?

>>52061502
...are highlights really that bad that they aren't visible?
Fuck.

And I swear to god the phone camera makes it look much more like I needed thin the paints than irl(though I must admit, it is a bit too thick in some places).

>>52061501
Looks more like they used a Metal Flake, and then sealed it in with a clear rather than a strait up paint.
Though I imagine metallic auto-motive paints have substantially larger flakes, so those may have a similar effect.

Inspire is a brand that I know has both flakes (applied with a flake attachment to the airbrush, called Inspire Flakes) and coarser metallic paints in their Inspire Sparkle Pearl line.

>>52061551
not really showing though, and if youre speaking of the white parts i wouldnt really blame the camera, i would go for an off white color for the basecoat, and pure white for the highlights. Trousers seem to lack highlights too, my advice would be to get atleast 2 highlight colors for the leathery parts, one to pronounce the bigger areas and one to highlight the edges/greases.

>>52061501
Hot rod paint jobs like that actually use some p big metal flakes to get that effect, like 1-2mm across. I'm not sure if there's a mini paint brand that has noticeably larger flakes than others, but you might want to find one, or even see about adding some larger flakes to you paint.

>>52061551
also, take a look at Duncan´s painting tutorial videos on youtube, theres a fuckload of them and are really good.
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEaPE4sLDA7s-26V0v6SepDFiznb3y6hx

>>52061607
Right, hmm, I'm not looking for flakes THAT big, but big enough that you could see an interesting texture on a miniature.

So I guess trying to find the shittiest metallics I can?

>>52061475
Paint your thins.
Layer your colours (especially if you have a high contrast between basecoat and final coat).
Use highlights for definition.
Try to avoid using black for large areas of your model (for now).

I say there is a huge difference in quality as well. Yes, the relatively good compressor costs a good 4 times as much as a cheap one, but Ill say this as someone who has spend the last 8 years with an airbrush;
- The compressor without a tank is faster worn out.
- The cheaper compressors break more easily, its a bad quality to start with, and it usually shows.
- It sounds WAY more than a oil driven compressor. Im talking, try listening to your refrigerator (this is the sound of a good compressor, which only sounds like this at the time it fills up the tank), compared to fairly noticeable "Brrrrrrr.... Brrrrrrr..... Brrrrrr" at every press of your airbrush.

So yes, having gone thorough 2 cheep compressors during my time with an airbrush, and now having a oil driven, still on the cheap end (as far as "real" airbrush compressors go) airbrush, Id say get a better one. It will save you both time and money, and its an investment that you will be glad you got over the course of time.

>>52061545
Wouldnt thin too muh, just thin enough so it would not clump

Would also reccomend using an enamel metal for this kind of effect, much better coverage

>>52061671
Problem with "shittiest" is that it might also be shit at applying smooth. While looking up Inspire like >>52061574 mentioned, I did find this: http://usa.specialistpaints.com/collections/specialist-paints-metal-flake and that might be what you're looking for.

Any tips on cleaning up when glue runs from a model's joints and leaves shiny patches on the surface of the mini? I'm a retard who's new at this and I don't want to start painting my dudes in case they retain this awkward sheen through the paint and reveal my shame forever.

Tips on avoiding this (i.e. using less fucking glue) would also be appreciated.

>>52061762
0/10 did not prime and basecoat your nails.

>>52061819
You put primer on after gluing that covers it, also use less glue, not even a drop just enough to wet the surface after you put them together.

>>52061762
next time i'd go with a black basecoat for the nails, with a balthazar gold first layer, then layer it with some nice geheena and go for some sweet french tip highlights with auric armor. nice first try tho

How are army painter brushes? Looking to upgrade from my GW brushes since they just split at the end and hairs jar out from the side no matter how much paint I have on the brush.

Thinking of getting this set plus another which has another smaller dry brush and a larger normal brush and a tiny detail brush.

>>52062084
In my experience they are worse quality than gw brushes. Don't buy them as an upgrade they are bargain basement.

>>52061762

>those knuckle hairs

What the fuck?

>>52062084
Sounds like you have paint stuck near the ferrule. Have you tried cleaning the brushes? I use "The Masters Brush Cleaner" every couple of days on my brushes and it keeps them in really good order.

As for Army Painter, they're about the same level as GW brushes in my experience. They're going to have the same problem as your other brushes though if you're getting paint near the base of the brush on a regular basis.

>>52061762
Holy crap did I spawn a meme, or is the trolling my hand a meme.

What is life even more?

Ps if you want the actual color I can give you that one

>>52062084
>How are army painter brushes?
I like 'em, though I here from a lot of anons that they're actually lower quality than GW brushes. They're a bit cheaper though.
>Thinking of getting this set plus another which has another smaller dry brush and a larger normal brush and a tiny detail brush.
I have the set in pic. It's pretty good. That small drybrush is GOAT.

Does anyone have any advise on the benifits of epoxy, polyester and polyurathane for clear water effects? Or has used it in casting and can offer advice?

I have used some polyesture resin today for some water effects and although it's currently looking beautiful and glasslike it fucking stinks, Would another type of resin work as well? Are they safer or less smelling?

>>52062839
Looks great. What was issue with FW? I usually get good casts, but in the past I got a miscast, called them and got it replaced with no issues at all.

>>52062571

Looks good, desu, I would have drybrushed the shit out of him, then gone over only the most pronounced edges with a really extreme edge highlight. But, I'm lazy sometimes.

What are cool colour schemes for dark Eldar?
, btw anybody have pictures of the colourblind Eldar guys work i really loved it but i dont have any pic anymore

>>52064612
eldar or deldar?

>>52064606

Yeah me too, but since its a special character and he's only a little guy I want to try really hard to get a good highlighting on him.

>>52064606
Not him, but I prefer that look

It makes the edge transition more gradual rather than the harsh highlight that might not be as smooth as you had hoped

>>52064683
Well, I'm probably going to start some Ynnari/Deldar with the Visarch leading a unit of Incubi. So, look out for a Visarch with drybrushed reds and a handful of orange highlights in about a year with the way my pace has been going...

So WIP anons, im building a custodes army and i'd like to make a cybereagle familiar using the AoS Vanguard raptors. Id like to add some aquila looking wings and the best i can come up with is Celistines side hoes.

Git gud
Other than that, you can try to snap it off. If you used super glue, pop him in the freezer overnight then try to snap it. If you used plastic glue, well, I hope you didn't use a lot. That aside, do you really need to paint the parts people won't see?

i airbrush at -45 degres dark brown into all the recesses, i then coated it in cadian, then on the very top i used a lighter cadian fleshtone

after dry i put fleshade into the cracks, especially the eyes and mouth and line highlight the side of the skull, tops of the eyebrows, nose, and tops of cheeks with ushbati bone.

doesnt take long, overall the mini is done in an hour.

>>52066646
She streams on Twitch and sounds rather... high.

>>52066637
What colour are you using for the highlights on the red? Assuming the red is Mephiston.

You need more practice on getting crisp highlights, and a second highlight towards corners and the tops of surfaces would be good.

Eagle would benefit a fair bit from a careful edge highlight of silver.

>>52066858
Kenny is not a Twitch painter, he's a Youtuber who streams on the side. He brought 99% of his viewers with him from Youtube and they go just to his channel and no where else in the painting community.

base

>>52066855
Nope. Unpainted basing material looks like real sand / grit at our scale, but its purpose is to look like real dirt at 28mm scale, next to a painted miniature. As is it looks out of place and really jarring, as unpainted surfaces do next to painted ones.

By painting it you paint in shadows and highlights that play into the scale so that the entire miniature is lying to people's eyes that it's lit like a 7-foot tall dude riding a giant wolf.

I also think your grit is too large to be used across the entire base like that, soft sand with maybe 30% of that grit mixed in would look much more like dirt with rocks in and less like a gravel path.

Honestly, anon, I really can't see the point in doing that.

Finally got these guys as done as they're going to get before I prime 'em. The heads and pauldrons are all going on separate since they're going to a be a different color than the rest of the armor (black as opposed to red). Lighting claws will also stay off since I can just easily to those separately as well. Any opinions on the poses? It took me a lot of work to get something I'm semi-okay with. This kit isn't too flexible sadly.

Also, I'm happy to announce the official return of Chainsword Musashi, my old (and new) Chapter Champion. He's been a long time gone, but I'm happy to have him back.

try using a glaze instead of a yellow paint, GW Bloodletter might be a good option for Salamanders as it goes well with the Fiery theme. put a little dot in the lens and let it flow around the area and pool slightly, it helps to use a fine tip brush for this.

I was working on that, but seem to have stalled out along the way.

Last post for a bit

Tried some more highlighting and battle damage, thoughts?

How do I quickly get all my 30 Black Templars black without a paintbrush?

From what I gathered, the Citadel Chaos Black spray is only good as a primer, but will still need a regular basecoat over it, right? Does Army Painter have a good one of those?

>>52067071
this shit is awesome. some of this stuff feels very xcom to me.

>>52060446
Oui, what of it?

>>52061501
From what i can see it may be possible to mix a bit of paint and silver glitter and try to stipple it on, you could also try getting a cheap car pray gun from your local Harbor Freight or equivalent and mixing up a little custom batch of paint, might be expensive but worth it. if that is the color you are looking for then try Tamiya X-13 Mettalic Blue and a bit of hot rod glitter.

During this Australian summer I've had an issue with the paint drying out too quickly even with the wet palette. Maybe I just need to use more water but I'm wondering what other people do during dry weather.

>>52067466
a lot of people use humidifiers

>>52067466
You can try using just a single drop of contact solution when you out your paint on yor pallet.

Contact solution is designed to be very hydrating as it is its purpose it also works to bring paint back to life

Those lies about having freedom once you move out from your parents were such bullshit back then.

>>52068211
the "freedom" part refers to bachelor life, mate

the second you get hooked its over

>>52068211
You have freedom.
You chose to move in with someone who sleeps during the night.
You chose to put your work table in there.
You chose to stay up all night.

Nobody said there wouldn't be consequences.

This freedom now I've moved out from my parents is pretty great.

IF noob from past few days starting on marines 2 and 3 here. I think I am going to try with a base coat of averland sunset before I put on some yriel yellow.

What is the best way to layer on the yriel? Do you cover completely? I'll post a pic after I get the basecoat down.

So, I'm new to sealing miniatures and I'm not sure if I'm supposed to seal before I put tufts/flock or after. Help?

>>52069226
Personally i would do Base: averland sunset Layer: 50/50 averland sunset yirel yellow. Either way when doing the layer just hit all the raised areas of the armor.
