Getting back into it after a few months break. Trying to make a draigostar for my grey knights, and these are the centurions. I know there tons of moldlines and other fixes I need to do though before painting.

>>52255873

Sorry the thread died before I could respond. I'd say instead of completely covering up the auric highlight, leave some of it showing when you do the silver edge highlight so the transition is less harsh.

Never tried linking to a dead thread so sorry if it doesn't work, it's for Chaos Dwarf anon.

The water effects on that base are lovely, how did you get the splash effect?

>>52259295
Nice, thank you anon, I'll go ahead and fix those then, and use this pic as a reference for the rest. When I get to it after chemistry homework I'll be sure to upload the fixes.

>>52259267
The lines need to be much thinner. They look more like camo than cracked stone.

I like the water effects but it seems a little overboard given his stance. Did he just jump off something and land in a puddle?

Back when The Dunc had yet to ascend to godhood.

>>52259309
I've used strips of plastic blister (leftover form character package) as core for waves. Then I've applied first coat of Vallejo Water Texture on it.
6 hours of drying... and I realized that I should have painted base before in blue/teal/black/grey mix before because shit is transparent and I could see my dirty base. So I painted over that soild texture and applied 2 more layers of water texture slowly filling gaps between plastic blister stips to create waves.

Followed that tutorial:
http://fantasygames.com.pl/how-to-make-splashing-water/
and that helped me to paint water after 1st layer of texture:
http://www.coloureddust.com.pl/2012/12/how-to-make-base-with-water-effect.html

How do I get better at doing simple bases that look good without distracting from the model?

For my first army, Necrons, I just pva-ed the base then dipped them in sand, but in retrospect it looks a bit shit and I'll probably have to go back and fix them some day.

Since then I've just been doing texture paint, shade and drybrush. It's fine, but I feel like I'm half assing it to just do that over and over forever.

>>52259347
I know about lines, I've tried to fix them (looks better than before) but I'd have to paint new one to make it look propa.
And my idea was Liberator landing form Azyr at coast of island.

>>52259406

There's a thousand different ways to do it

1. Buy pre moulded bases - https://www.games-workshop.com/en-GB/Sector-Imperialis-32MM-Round-Bases - https://s3.amazonaws.com/ksr/assets/002/420/256/751a87eb5c11dfcf04c6b6d23048ed26_large.png?1407799667

2. Do you own Think about your theme for your army? Are they in the mountains? Snow? Grassland?

There are so so many resources online to help you, youtube vides, step by step tutorials for whatever theme you want. Cork for Rocks or cliff faces, real rocks, grass tufts, resin tree bits, real tree bits, slate from your neighbours drive way..

It's such an expansive question because the spark of what you want is in your own noggin

>>52259523
well, it's simple and not distracting, and not ready-made texture paint so I thought it was something you're lookin for.
Be creative, use spare bitz for junk/stand, tufts, balsa for wooden floor, still water for water/waste ponds.

Why? Because I lament the days when we got 1 hour + painting guides of useful tips, techniques over these useless 90 second tip of the day? When we got a beautifully painted model that was almost on par of the Eavy Metal teams offerings?

These idiots aren't even asking for techniques, they're asking for what colours to use. To which Duncan replies

also, I was going to have a similar head for my lord-in-progress, but once the greenstuff was on, it ended up looking sillier than expected.

What type of head should I give him? Should I make it some sort of cover all around the head area, like he's encapsulated inside of the armor and simply stuck with it?

>>52259968
I think the one on the right looks better.

>>52260128
I like it. Is the face an exhaust from a Space marine power pack?

Whoever asked this need to hang himself.

Alright lads my birthday is coming up and as usual everyone is asking me what I want and I'm clueless.

I've got a set of brushes, some brush cleaner and of course paints. Is there anything super useful for painting that I could grab?

Also how's the army painter primer? And the krylon camp spray I keep hearing about

>>52260283
washes and glazes, a lot of them. i pick a desaturared color for shadows ans more saturated color for highlights, and one to go in between. also what helps is kknowledge of anatomy and how muscles worn, im a professional illustrator with years of exoerience in anatomy and painting muscles.

>>52260850
Wet palette, flow improver, matte medium, drying retardant, masters brush cleaner, Iwata Neo airbrush and compressor, airbrush cleaning station, nice kolinsky sable brushes...

It depends on what you're painting and your particular painting style but I find all of the above very helpful for my work.

Army Painter primer is fine but be sure to read the instructions as they don't work the same as other spray paints and I can't comment on the Krylon as I don't use it.

That's just an Iron Halo. It's hilarious how there is an 8 pointed variant though.

>>52266419

Assuming the pose doesn't get in the way, you can get the head off by clamping onto it with some needle nose pliers OR a sprue cutter (careful not to squeeze too hard) and just twist that bitch off.

If it's really stubborn put it in the freezer to crystallize the super glue and have it just snap right off. You might have to reglue all the limbs though as the super glue will be killed throughout the whole model.

So my brother just finished his first ever mini and sent me this. I find it pretty solid, all things considered. Yes, I know lighting and all is terrible, but you know how beginners are.

How'd you rste it? Main critique I have on it is the silver being a bit too thick.

He's considering what to do for his bases, but everything he would REALLY want to do is incredibly difficult and almost impossible for a beginner (like a Necron-style floor panneling to so a rolling pin of). Suggested that going for the old eggshell cracked ground with a green glow might get similar results and look alright.

>Anyone tell me how difficult it'd be to remove a space marine's head from the body?

You might have to sacrifice the head, and be careful or you'll wreck the gorget, too.

Starting with Third Edition models, Space Marine heads are separate bitz meant to fit down into the neck socket and be glued to face whatever direction you think is most dramatic given the pose of the body. That there is so much surface area touching (round hemi-sphere in a concave socket) means you could have a tough time.

>Fairly sure it's been super glued.

This may actually be a blessing. Plastic cement works by melting the two plastic surfaces together, forming a bond that is really hard to break. Super-glue, OTOH, just sticks the two pieces together. You might try putting your model in the freezer. Cyano-acrylate glue doesn't adjust well to the minute shrinking and expanding of frozen-then-thawed plastic, and this might help break the bond just enough that you can get that head off of there.

I thought it'd be fun as fuck to go and try and make the Exorcist. Paint the top and then sell it. THE PARTS ARENT FLUSH WITH THE PLASTIC EVEN AFTER HOURS OF FILING.

just hoping my green stuff holds it tight...

>>52266696

Quit painting so forcefully and quickly with the brush. After cleaning it, lather it in soap again, but instead of rinsing it off, simply wipe the soap off on a paper towel while forming it into a tip. The little bit of soap leftover after wiping will hold it in a sharp point. Rinse off the dry soap next time before you start painting.

Head is a bit too big for my taste, but makes a pretty sick Cannoness. Dont know of any left-handed Power Axe model right now that you could snag that bit from, especially without running into trouble with the hand being too huge for the rather fine Greyfax model.

>>52266867
She's not even done. I'm trying to be a weird dude and make her a sister from Fenris, so the shoulder pad for the left arm is gonna be a wolf skull. Also gonna try and add some fur to her cape.

But all Sisters are recruited from a small portion of Schola Progeniums, and are therefore going to have very little difference between eachother with the exception of their Order's teachings or main use.

I might be using some words wrong though. I'm tired.

Archmagos-anon here, the skelly I was planning to use the head of for my Power Cane finally arrived!

Skull looks like it's actually a pretty perfect size for what I want to do with it. Now to figure out how the fuck to do the grip of the mace.

Was thinking of sticking a bunch of Electro-Priest staves together or to just use a Dragoon's lance but not sure about either of those.

Thinking of painting IF.

Is a good way to do this using Averland Sunset as a base, Yriel Yellow as a layer, washing in Serpahim Sepia, and then lightlightly highlighting Screaming Skull?

Hey, /wip/ are there any tutorials on how to paint camo on an Ork Boy or any other Ork units? I want to paint Blood Axes, but I don't know how to paint camouflage, especially not on an Ork sized mini, and I don't know what colors will look good with the Ork's green skin.

Would regular green camouflage look fine, or would it be bad because of how much green there'd be on the model? I dunno, maybe not green forest camouflage then.

>>52266940
Perhaps an order that lives near fenris? I dunno, I like the idea.

Also because I can pretend she's styled her hair to look like she had wolf ears.

>>52262333
Did you edge highlight every goddamned scale?!? Anon you crazy bastard!

He looks great and the base is very tastefully done, detailed but not overwhelming. My only complaint is the green scales blend with auntie other green scales and it causes him to lose detail at first glance and from a distance.

Unfortunately I have no idea how to fix that as the model is a big dino dragon without armor or anything to break up the color of his scales.

Is the fang spray actually a primer? Can I spray this onto bare plastic or do I need to undercoat it first? The can design doesn't look different from the chaos black spray I've been using.

>>52269085
I spray all Gw sprays onto bare plastic and never suffered any ill results. Autists on here will chastise you for not doing so but in all honesty you dont need another primer.

>>52269085

It's not an actual primer. You can spray it on bare plastic but it won't be as good as a real primer.

>>52269153
different anon here, does it apply color as well as something that has been primed?
For example, I have some Imperial Primer primed dark angels models. Will a model that was primed and sprayed with Caliban Green spray have the same color and consistency as a model that is sprayed directly onto bare plastic?

You'll probably get a more useful answer here than in 40K General.

>Are second hand figures cheaper or more expensive than sealed product?

As a general rule, they are cheaper, especially when compared to GW's retail prices. The only exceptions would be models that are limited (see >>52269197), hard-to-find, or out-of-production (OOP).

>Im starting my first army and some of the guys at my flgs offered me some of their stuff, most of it its just assembled but unpainted. So far I have a SC box and some space marines squads. I'm being offered around the same amount of dudes that I would get from a SC, what kind of price would be fair for them?

I'd have a hard time paying more than 50% of MSRP for plastic models. They're fairly easy to come by on places like eBay and Bartertown, and I have shops here where I can buy new models in the shrinkwrap at a 25-30% discount. Assembled models I might hesitate on, and painted plastic is pretty much destined for the bin unless it's a really slick deal or a model I really want.

Indeed I did, and I don't just mean in the "Hur dur, this eBay auction says 'pro-painted' - get a load-a dis git!" we usually do when we're 'avin' a giggle 'ere.

"Bridgend Steve" Casey over in England sells off parts of his personal collection from time to time, and I've bought a coupla his fingz... but I was watching a few auctions he had for models that were converted and painted by none other than the Necromunda Mad Man himself, John Blanche.

I dunno, I think the worst part is using brown shade on a cold palette, but even then I kinda like the texture. If you gave it a sharper, brush-highlight but kept the drybrushed layering it kind of harkens back to the cast-iron texture on Heresy-era Wolves.

Is not that bad if you use bright colors then wash a couple of times till the "marks" of drybrushing disappear but the tones remain, though I think it works better on organic materials (furr, skin, leather, etc)

Anyone here have a Glaive tank? Looking at main weapons to count as the railguns for my Mechanicum Manta, and I found that Chinaman sells just the Glaive turret, which works well. Does the turret come as one large part, or are the gun and/or capacitors separate? Would like to not have to hack the Volkite Carronades free from the dome turret, would be nice to use it as part of a bunker or something for when I get around to building some Mechanicus forts.

Finding suitable long-barrelled burst cannon parts is proving a little tricky. Either going to use Necron Gauss blasters since they look cool or 32 heavy bolters, which would be a pain to get my hands on. Are Tau, Cron or Marine players likely to have any of those spare?

>>52272775
I will never understand people recommending milliput. I've tried it several times, and given up on it each time. As soon as it gets wet it thins down to a watery paste, it's hard to get any sort of good surface with it, and it's hard to get any details at all in it. GS and similar on the other hand is very easy to work with, holds detail very well, is easy to get smooth surfaces with, and doesn't fucking dissolve.

>>52272325

Looks like you're in luck to a certain degree, the Glaive barrel is separate from the domed turret, however the capacitors are not (see image related).

Where should someone start with all this? I literally just want to do one mini for my character in a D&D game, and I see a lot of "thin your paints" memes and ">sanding" and stuff, but I have no idea which of the OP guides to begin with to just do a halfway decent job so it doesn't make my fellow players laugh.

>>52273072
I'm happy to do straight up paint, I just didn't know if that was a major mistake.

>>52273048
Thinning your paints slightly will make the layers you put down thinner and smoother, so that's definitely a good tip to keep in mind, beyond that, keep things simply.
Colour between the lines and you'll be just fine.

>>52273029
Ah well. Just the gun looks like a decent piece with most of the detail I wanted on. I may chop the front parts off the turrets and put them together over a Promethium Pipe to make the shield generator for the Manta on the top deck, that'll look nice. Thanks for the help.

>>52273048
Thinning your paint means to use water or some other medium in order to improve the flow and not clog up the details on your minis. You want a milk-like consistancy or thereabouts. Do not use regular acrylics. You want to use modelling paints, like Citadel or Vallejo, for example.

>>52273095

>>52273048
I'm a fan of Reaper minis for D&D stuff. Their Bones line is really cheap, although the plastic they use is bendy. The easiest way to fix it is to throw the mini in a glass of hot water (coffee temp) for a minute, then pull them out with tongs and bend them to how you want, then plunge them in ice water for an hour or so. Alternately you can just use their metal minis, which are normally $7-10. You might have to use an exacto knife to trim it up a little, plus some super glue to put it in a base.

Painting is easy. Get some Vallejo, Citadel, or Reaper primer, paint the model, wait for it to dry. Then use whatever colors you want to paint it! I'd also recommend using a GW wash all over, then reapplying the brighter colors in the flat or raised areas, so that you get a shadow effect with a lot of definition.

You just need a big brush, a medium brush, and a fine-tipped paint brush. You can get cheap brushes from all over the place. GW and Army Paint come to mind. As does the Reaper 3-brush pack.

For thinning your paints, it is all relative. But I'm partial to 4 parts paint to 1 part water. Using dropper bottles (like Vallejo or Reaper) makes that super easy.

>>52274072
Sorry about the file size. Took it with my cellphone camera and can't do a ton about it.

I screwed up clipping off the resin shoulder pad off the sprue, so a chunk came off. I decided to make dent marks in it with my knife and use it like battle damage. I'll probably add some chipped paint effects to the models once the whole squad is done. Honestly I was NOT impressed by the resin kits. There were a lot of small imperfections and I ended up having to use a lot of greenstuff where I shouldn't have had to.

I appreciate the compliment!

I'm getting really disillusioned with the Bones line. The larger stuff is good, but the normal sized minis are often times just amorphous blobs of undetailed shit.

this. when i started, bones were great because i was terrible. after painting GW and more highly detailed minis for a few months now, it is like pulling teeth to return to bones level of detail.

>>52269085
The correct answer is it's not a primer by the formal definition of primer.

The useful answer is it contains the same adhesion-helping solvents as the white and black spray, but in lesser amounts. It will stick to bare plastic.

>>52274556
>>52274520
They're great for airbrushing a solid color, blocking in a couple other colors, washing, then dry brushing. Assuming you're just using them as a D&D mini.

But otherwise I totally agree. You're not going to get you any modeling awards. But they're like $2 a model for most. That's hard to argue with.

rape/phallic iconography is just too straightforward. Why don't anyone get inspiration from the Hellraiser? Cenobites are literally slaaneshi daemons, you can sculpt a great miniature based on cenobites features, take chatterer head, decorate it with pins, multiple slender limbs layered in black leather, open incisions, rib stretchers, chain bondage, whips and other nasty stuff

I'm probably going to loose all my nerd-cred sayign this, but i've never seen Hellraiser.
Sounds like i should though since that does sound like some pretty good ideas.

>>52274945
Agreed, the Cenobites are straight up Slaanesh. I lvoe exploring bits of She Who Thirst's domain beyond the usual stuff. Like, his/her domain is sensation, so why does no one build stuff to represent negative sensations, like agony or despair?

>rape/phallic
Ehh yes and no. It's no denying that Slaanesh is pretty synonymous with excessive sex, tits and leather, but outright giving your daemon a throbbing dick or a travel strap on would be kind of unimaginative. Remember that Slaanesh is born from the eldars obsession with vanity, desire, and perfection. You could incorporate more vain things like polished shining armor, brighter, richer hues, gold and jewelry, maybe soulstones and gems too, trophies, leather straps, etc.

For some reason pic relayed is how i always imagined slaaneshi armor to be like. In the 7th ed chaos codex there was fluff about a slaanesh daemon planet that was actually agigantic humanoid, that had goatmen frolicking through its hair. Fucked up imagery like that mixed with armor expected to be adorned by kings and princes is what i imagine Slaanesh to be totally into. Also look at her keeper of secrets' horse head.

>>52275456
It is real sand or it is modeled on the base? If is the second case I recommend to use real sand. The bricks part is okey.

Decided on converting these two horses to make the squad a command squad for my upcoming platoon, dont know if im allowed to rock a platoon standard on them, but atleast its a nice visual. Dont know how if i should remove the sword part from the scabbard on the guy with the power sword, or if i even want to. Thanks yall for the nice comments, ill try to finish the lot soon, missing one rider still, since i bought these one by one.

>>52275650
I completely agree with you.
I wasnt going to give a throbbing dick or anything, but when pursuing Giger-esque asthethics, there is some imagery bound to pop up.
I will most definitly adorn with splendid vain armour, i just want what's under that armour to nail the ''strangely tantalizing and beautifull, but also oh so horrid''

I've really set myself up for quite the design challenge haven't i.

>>52275650
That's just a bog-standard prince build from the kit with some chains and a dude from WHFB included.

Not really an impressive prince conversion.

Because our brains are used to gloss black surfaces reflecting two primary light sources: The sun, and the sky. This leads to a blue tint to the highlights, which we then associate with being natural

I use a mix of russ gray and eshin gray.

Other angle

Different take on painting red, going for realistic weathered armour more than solid colours, any thoughts?

>>52276757
Good job on the weathering and patterns.

Red dirt under red armor? Not totally bad, as AdMech shows us, but maybe mix it up a bit? Put some shade on the soil, or drybrush some orange?

>>52275764
>I've really set myself up for quite the design challenge haven't i.
I havent seen anyone really use the giger aesthetic before save for eldar wraith models. Sounds promising, anon. Make sure to post shit up when you have a general sketch or idea planned out

>>52275767
Oh i was posting more for the color scheme. Polished Ivory with gold borders is the slaanesh that feels more faithful to her/his themes than purple and pink.

>>52276653
Looks great, anon. How did you achieve the metallic look? Silver with red wash? Also those decals are sweet. U less theyre freehand which would make you a god

>>52276633
This.

I'll take models painted with "basic" techiques perfectly executed over some sloppy glaeung and NMM any day.

Best example I have in mind is either the Burning of Prospero painting guides, or the Red Talons from one anon in these very threads.

Simple shit, but perfectly executed.

Paint looks a bit thick on the shoulder pads. Try to mix up the blood streaks by flicking paint onto the miniature with your thumb to replicate arterial spray.

>>52278079

OTT mate, think of how blood splatter actually works. You dude, did he rolls around in a pool of blood?

At best, why not do blood splatter with a flick of a paint brush to make it look like he was pumping bolter rounds into something close range.

Watch this tutorial for the colours, but remember that they don't have perfect color schemes on every model, i.e. yoi can make a plate or armor darker/lighter, mix it up a bit, like a pauldron, a knee pad or even a greave. But the faceplate should be white, the helmet the same colour as the rest of the armour while the pauldrons are darker than the rest.

Duncan did a tutorial on their armour mere days ago. Look it up on their fb page.

As for the blood, look up hoh Duncan does it, just type Blood for the blood god on youtube, and watch the World Eaters video from warhammer TV, at the end he shows how to apply it nicely.

Even then, less is more with blood. Show it on edges and corners of the weapon, and lightly in the hand, with small specks and by flicking your brush with your finger, not by smudging it all over.

Look at pic related, it's localised and precise.

>>52277163
