Does anyone know how this guy in pic related made the choppa for his boss? It's clearly the Brute's Gore-Choppa sliced, but I'm not sure where, or what's attaching everything.

Best way to highlight bright metallic gold, WIP?

Started painting fairly recently. Bought some washed up DC, took of their packs to replace with jump packs. The models were in pretty bad condition when I got them, so I figured they make good practice models. What are some tips y'all have for improvement here?

>>52350056
Not terrible. I think the color scheme is kind of cool. Highlights could be thinner and thin ye paints, just git a little bit on ye brush

>>52349980
make the cuts, use greenstuff/plastic cement .. your can carefully "smooth" the melted plastic if you use the cement and wait a few secs

>>52350073
No, I don't mean how to put it together, I mean what parts are being used. Besides the gore-choppa--what's the hand/hilt from?

Is it from the Megaboss itself? I'll go check mine

It looks like it is. It seems the gore-choppa's been cut right where the first hand is, and attached right to it. Interesting.

>>52349956
Anyone have any suggestions on what brushes to buy? Shell out for gw stuff? My brushes are all fucked and I want to get back into painting

I am about to venture into the world of greenstuff, as I have put it off for as long as I can. Does anyone have any general tips?

Also, if anyone has any specific tips for the following I'd appreciate it.

I have a lot of sprue/B@C parts, mainly bolters and such to use as a base.

Making a grav gun for biker marines

Making a librarian biker, specifically the psychic hood on a model so it doesn't look like garbage

Making a chaplain biker, I am unsure what to do here, I might just chop the head off and put the skull helmet on the biker body and sculpt some chaplain-y stuff on it.

Changing the proportions of a centurion as in the following: http://masteroftheforge.com/centurion-tutorial/
I think it is pretty clear but if there is anything a noob will mistake, I'd appreciate a tip.

Filling in gaps in vehicles, rhinos and land raiders specifically

General imperial fist logos sculpted on marines.

I know it's a long list, I've put it off as long as I could. I am a noob, but I try until the models (at least painting so far, I haven't sculpted or based yet) look "good".

For reference, I am the turd who keeps posting the IF tacticals. The one someone thought were angry marines.

Took a better pic of these. My goal was to try speeding up my squad painting as I'm slow as fuck so I painted properly the main features like the helmets, banner and power weapon and rushed the rest a bit, not caring too much about precision or smoothness.

Overall I think they took around 30 hours, from box to pic. 7-8 hours were just for the banner, a bit too much, but I am not specially proficient at freehands yet.

I also commited a major fuckup using liquid mask which took around 3 hours to remove and fix. Basically I applied the mask and let it on for over two days, so it kind of fused with the paint under it and I had to scrape it all off.

If you don't count the banner and the fuckup, that's more or less 2 hours per model, I think it's ok, but could be faster.

Hey guys, been busy with commissions but got some time to work on my stuff. Tried my hand at making a conscript. I shaved off the shoulders and the ankle guards so he only has his flak vest, and I gave him a shitty cloth scarf thing to make him more dynamic. Waiting for my heads to come in, the kolony winter militia head.

>>52350022
Silver + gold highlight, ink the whole thing with brown, go over the highlights again with regular gold.

It's the fakers way of blending, the inked gold will be darkest, silver gold will be medium, regular gold will be brightest. Adding silver gold in tiny little pointy bits will finish it off.

testor's alternative? Become too much of a pain to get hold of.

>>52353588

>>52353664
If you can't see that god awful line on the gun and along the legs then you really need to quit this hobby. Taking a second look now I can't believe I missed out smudgy your paint is. Thin it or quit it.

>>52353690
>your

Please calm down on the hostility. I'm not the troll.

>>52353692
Do the edges first for sure, so you can use thin as fuck paint for the bigger bits. I assume your doing shoulder pads and unit numbers, so doing an outline in pencil is really helpful.

Also if your doing semi basic marines and not camo weathered tanks, figure which color is easier to cover, White markings on black armor, it's easier to paint a white shape and add black to shape it into your number or whatever. Doesn't work with real deal blending tho.

Thanks, anon.

>>52353086
Alright. Your complain basically is that those avengers don't have highlights all around them, isn't it?

You don't need to always go all the way to white or near-white like you did in your model, which for my taste is way over the top in value and seriously lacks any kind of shading, but I respect your preferences, if that's really your model, that is.

In my case, I used a zenithal kind of lighting, in which you should concentrate the highlights on the parts facing and closer to the source of light, ie head, shoulders, arms, while keeping the farther parts moderately highlighted, and the rest pretty much in shadows, like you can see in the avengers' backs, which do not have any light hitting on them, just like the underside of the knees (is this what is bugging you?).
On the other hand, the area of the arms, shoulders, weapons, top of the knees and mohicans are all subtlely highlighted.

I'd like you to understand that this is not laziness, it's an artistic choice, the goal of which is both trying to get a more realistic result, and to direct your attention to the important parts. Obviously, I'm not a master of painting and still need a lot of practice, but if you want to become a real good painter you can't always paint "the GW style".

Pretty good, you got lots of em to do so I would spray it to much, painting will go far.

I did something similar with a eBay lot of fugly guardsmen. I added some wrapping around the boots and occasionally the arms if the hand joint was busted or not touching.

Oh and pig iron heads don't have an attachment bulb circle thing like guardsmen heads, you have to fill it in and make damn sure you got it on while the greenstuff is still moldable so you get a custom fit. Scale works ok though. The bodies are to small though, alot of the hight is the metal base that you should trim off to fit Warhammer bases nice.

Nicely done but I despise the shoulder pad inner border thing that GW pushes. They look way too stark, especially on the forearm.

>>52353692
It's a good idea to make a rough sketch first to place the elements correctly, you can use some light grey for this so you can cover it easily later in case you need to make corrections, then you can outline it with a darker color, paint it inside the lines and lastly highlight/shadow the different elements just like you would do with any other part of the miniature.

I think this is going to be the scheme I'm going with for Guardians of the Covenant.
I'm starting my first army, this is the second time I've ever tried painting a 40k mini.
How's it look?
I know it looks crunchy AF from the sharpened image but I think it looks good at normal viewig distance/relatively smooth in hand. I'm not sure I like Necron compound for highlights, but highlighting silver is difficult.

Looks ok, what I do when ever I start up a new paint scheme and want to practice is I get a cheap-o squad of dark vengeance marines and just start painting. I make post it notes for how I did each one, modifying it as I go along, exparamenting with diffrent paint ect. Then use them to bulk out squads.

Right now I'm doing up iron warriors, so I've been playing around with like 10 different ways to do silver. The classic boltgun silver, inked with black ink then using regular boltgun again works pretty dang well.

Like I said with gold up above, adding a highlight before you ink wash can help make a fake blending with the highlight over the wash. You can do that with very few paint, I've tried it both ways with real deal paints of lots of shades and it's pretty similar.

>Cheaper too, my black metal paint that is darker than bolt gun is only sold in a ten pack. Scale 75, very good paint btw.

I primed him with Leadbelcher and I have done 2-3 washes of dark ink for shading. He really doesn't look as harsh as the photo turned out (need to tone down the sharpening on the next photo set)
To a certain extent ambient lighting gives him natural highlights because of the nature of the metallic paint.
I tested probably 6 different shades of metal, everything from Alclad Chrome to leadbelcher, to offbrand stuff like a chainmail silver (vallejo I think?) and decided leadbelcher just looked the best (go figure, it's recommended for GoC)
I could do them all Dark Angels but I think the DA scheme is boring.

Good luck. Mephiston is made of two parts: the sword in his left hand, and everything else. The cloak, the pistol arm, those outrageous shoulder pauldrons... it's all one piece.

My advice? Paint him up for easily-recognizable hero-of-legend that he is, boring 2nd Edition pose and all. Pick another part of your army that will be less challenging if you're gunning for a conversion.

I would honestly just use the new Sanguinary Priest kit. Convert the arms from Mephiston's and if you are skilled/ballsy enough, sculpt some hair onto a baldy head then call it a day.

Ah the Pumas are for Normandy and the Pz III"s are for Kursk.

Wait I have something to show you. Don't leave this thread.

I can't decide for my tzaangor colour scheme.
When it comes to armour I'm ripped between box-art turquoise one, black+gold form pyrofane cult and violet-cheery with gold trims (my own idea).
When it comes to skin I wanted to make grey priming, fast white drybrush and use mix of washes and glazes to make all kind of skintones, form blue to green, blue and purple. My other idea was to fully replicate scheme of Pyrofane Cult (pink tzaangor skin and black+gold armour).

What to do?

For that unit specifically, I prefer uniformity and coherence. These are highly trained eldar warriors firing against an objetive after all, not uncivilized orks charging to close combat.

>>52358601
i feel like it looks too monocromatic, the secondary should give some degree of contrast in tau schemes imo(no you are not forced to agree, i am pretty sure not even GW schemes follow my point of view), having only those minscule brown accents makes it too boring for me.(notice i said a bit of contrast not a lot of contrast)

>>52359355
Hm. Well the original idea was to have the middle section of the shoulderpad be the same leather colour, but I dunno, I just really like the emerald/black combo.

I do know what you mean though, I'll spend some time going over it in my head. In my defence though, I plan on adding a bit more camouflage to the army depending on their role and abilities. The FWs are the "bait" for the Kauyon, they lure the enemy to them. Then you have pathfinder snipers with more of a vibrant woodland camo since they'd be behind enemy lines. Stealthsuits with darker tones of the main scheme doing ambushes etc. Dunno if that counts but there you go.

And speaking of stealthsuits, got any advice for me on the approach for them? I can't decide whether to do the phasing effect or not.

>>52359538
i like stealthsuits painted normally, but a wel done effect can get you some free undiserved praise sometimes and it feels pretty good.

Well, this is my previous scheme from like 6 years ago. It was simple as hell but I liked it. I'm more leaning towards normal painted though, because I have other stealth units. Don't want to paint Shadowsun or my Ghostkeel like that, feels like you're wasting all that detail and my OCD won't allow me to field both phasing and normal stealth units, hah.

>>52354953
Anon, there are various sites (including their own) that sell the paints separately now. You don't need to get the full box anymore.

>>52350404
I feel like the most important tip with greenstuff for beginners is to note that time and temperature are your best tools when working with any putty.

- be patient and learn when to stop (lest you make the mistake of finger squishing something beautifully sculpted that took a long time to make, by accident)
- greenstuff usually takes an hour to get tough, and three hours to cure. After two days its hard as plastic.
- cold greenstuff takes longer to cure
- warm greenstuff cures a bit faster but also mixes faster and more consistently
- warm greenstuff is good for organic and curved shapes
- colder, maybe an hour-or-so greenstuff is tougher and more useful for straight edges and actual polygon shapes.

- also, have tools, and have a plan.

>>52354134

>>52360623
Glue cotton balls to the base

>>52360623
I always say this in these threads when people ask but no one ever responds so I don't know if they're doing it or not.

Buy Woodland Scenics Soft Flake Snow, cover the parts of the base you want to be snowy in PVA glue and then sprinkle the snow effect over it. You can also mix the snow effect in with PVA, a little water (and some paint/ink if you want to change the colour) for a snow paste that when dry looks like a deep snowfall. Of all the method's I've tried for snow, I prefer this one. I don't fuck around with the crushed glass stuff though, too worried about the pets somehow ingesting it.

>>52362142
>I think they look decent

m8, sorry to be blunt but it looks pretty bad, You've clearly had some sort of primer mishap, which is why your mini is all grainy and the details are clogged.

Your idea is an interesting one, tends to work better with inks than with GW washes due to their intensity of colour - your colours at the moment just look like a very thin first layer basecoat.

Do you have an airbrush? They make zenithal priming (your white-to-black gradient) a breeze and you don't get the primer issue. Also, the highlights on the claws are fairly thick - do you use the side of your brush or are you trying to paint thin lines for your highlights?

Hope this helps a little.

>>52362142
Mould lines.

>>52362257

I don't have an airbrush, so I just used a rattlecan for the zenithal priming. I know it has a grainy look but it doesn't bother me much when looking at it on the tabletop.

When I said it looked decent I meant like 3/10, which is about what I was looking for with my time investment on these. They certainly aren't beautiful models but they meet my needs.

Question about GW paints. I have an unused bottle of Vallejo Game gold and another bottle that's got like 1/4 left but I really hate the coverage they give. Game Colour metallics seem to exist in only two states: Thick goop and Glittery water (even if you put a tiny speck of water in it).

Is Retributor or Liberator Gold by GW better as a gold basecoat? I like the dull shine it gives for models like the Thousand Sons and Sigmarines.

Yeah. It's crushed to powder form so it's not as dangerous as it sounds (like killing dogs with glass in meat or breaking a car window), but don't breathe it in or eat any of it.

>>52362481

Vallejo Game Color metallics suck.

Liberator Gold and Retributor Gold are both great. Retributor will cover more because it is a base, but Liberator also has amazing coverage for such a thin layer metallic. Vallejo Model Air and Vallejo Metallic Color also have VERY good metallics and are cheaper than GW drop for drop, but they are mostly silver and only have 1 or 2 shitty golds.

Retributor and Liberator Gold are basically the best mainstream acrylic golds on the market, unless you get a less known brand like Darkstar Molten Metal.

Just stay away from non-white lid GW metallics and Vallejo Game metallics, they are garbage. Vallejo Model Air, Vallejo Metallic Color are the good ones. Alclad 2 and Vallejo Liquid Gold are also good but they are very hard to work with and are enamel/lacquer/alcohol. Vallejo Liquid Gold will actually rust if you keep the bottle open too long or get water on it.

This is why I just say fuck it and don't do snow bases. It's going to suck if I ever have to do Space Wolf or Chaos Warriors/Ogres who are at home in the snow.

I really want to put a zoanthrope on the back of a heavily wounded carnifex surrounded by lots of orks.

Angels of redemption slowly coming along. They're fun so far to paint but I'm sure it will be just a pain in the ass by the time I finish the army.

Do they look ok so far? I'm thinking either jungle or ruined city bases but input on that would be really good

>>52364470
looking good, painting a halfed scheme like that would drive me mad. Good luck.
As for basing I think a ruined city would be cool

>>52364470
Very clean, nice work man.

Have you thought about using masking tape and airbrushing them? That would speet it up a bit.

>>52356286
Is that meant to be rust? It looks like he's dipped his sword in a pile of wet shit

I'm airbrushing the main colours, and zenithal highlighting them, then going back and edge highlighting with the brush.

>>52352221
That looks pretty cool actually Anon. I might steal that idea for my conscript blob of shittily assembled dudes I got off eBay.

Did you just uses knife to remove the shoulder pads and file down? And for the scarf did you just wrap a pancake of greenstuff andrip an mould it?

Hey that's a cool BT MKIV Dreadnought you got off ebay. Shame if something happened to it.

Nah I gotta pry this guy off of it first.

>>52365117
It is accually pretty good, but I have no choice. They don't make the MKIV anymore and this is all I could find.

About done with these Carcharodons. Still have to do tribal tatoos when I feel confident enoigh to get a micron pen and try it.
My highlights are still thick as shit and the faceplate could be thinner.
But still, it's a blast to paint these, can't wait for plastic mk5 so that I can truely make them as they should be.

Do note that the eyes are shiny but it doesn't show. Tempted to try the standard highlights with greys instead of just shiny black, in order to depict the void black eyes lenses.

Waiting on some resin to make their bases look like they're walking in some dark waters, what's with being void predators and all.

I was painting a gradient onto a model when I lost my grip on it and it slipped. Random line of paint going in the opposite direction. I am annoyed.

I have some sniper rifles from forgeworld that are bent a little bit, I know I need to put them in hot water to get them to be flexible but how do I retain the position I want?

SHould I splint them with something?

>>52365069
how, I could never strip something like this

>>52365328
Maybe cause I'm not running Templars? NO SHAME

I used Vallejo Game Air Cold Grey to airbrush a basecoat, hoping it would be mile Dawnstone (the chart said it would) but it's more like the lighter Administratum Grey. Anyone know which Vallejo Air is Dawnstone? They have so many greys it's annoying.

>>52365543
Take the cherub from the Devastators kit, corrupt him, done.

>finally figured out a way to assblast through airbrushing wraithbone bases for my eldar in roughly 40 seconds per base

Airbrushes save lives

>>52365259
Hold them in place after forming them, and either dunk them in cold water or pour it over them. If you can get a second person to do the pouring, then even better.

So I've decided to paint my 30K mkIII guys as Iron Warriors (or perhaps sone splinter faction/successor) and i have two questions.

1) whats the best base color to use for yellow, over black primer? Brown?
2) any good reference for alternate Iron Warriors color schemes?

>>52366123
Believe it or not I put them in the microwave in some water (nuked the water for 2 mins prior) and left them there to go back for after I primed some other stuff.

This was like 30 minutes ago, I saw your post and went back to get them. They had gone back to being straight. Weird.

So, question; Am I just being dumb amd not finding the bits providex, or is this a mess up on GW's part?

If you cant tell, its a skink missing its head, leg, and tail

>>52366754
No, that's a fuck up. Skinks should have both legs, head and tail. Contact GDubs and see what you can snag.

>>52365543
You got "biomechanical". Now add eyes, maws and tentacles for "chaos" and "abomination".

>>52366788
Thanks for the advice. The only time I've ever contacted GW was when the nozzle of their spray primer popped off, and when I contacted them, they got it sorted out. I'll just ask if I can get a replacement sprue for the dude.

>>52366855
Be sure to include the photo. It's pretty obvious its a castign issue, and no way to really fake that without a lot of careful work which, frankly, wouldn't be worth the time.

>>52366816
Huh. Now you bring it up, I actually have very little in the way of chais mutations in my army as a whole.Jsut a couple minor things here and there.

I guess some Mini-spawn might work.

>>52357934

Looks great!

>>52366867
It'll do. Nice purple. I really hope the shoudlerpads were just a quick and dirty blocking in. Now to go drink Tamiya Extra Thin until I forget about those mold lines.

>>52366969
Yeah it's just a quick mockup to see how the colors look on an old model I had laying around. I'll clean it up nicer when I do the real thing.

>>52365259

Thin pieces like this suck when they're in resin. They are so fragile and often come warped. I would honestly replace it with stiff brass rod, but if you dunk them in boiling water then gently nudge them straight and then IMMEDIATELY dip them in cold water they will harden and set in the straight position.

Just got to retouch up the bone on the hand but Durthu's sword is basically done now.

Also beginner here, so no criticism, but I wouldn't trust myself with freehanding, and your checkers are bit off. Maybe you can try something with masking tape.

Bumping cuz im excited to paint these guys.

I used Rustoleum black primer for the first time to prime my Broadside. It came out shiny instead of matte

Is this going to be an issue when painting?

What I do gor hazard lines is that I prime black, spray metal the whole model, except the shoulderpads (I didn't do hazard lines on pauldrons) so that Averland sunset can be applied easily. Metal is easier to cover than black.

Pic related is a scheme an anon did.

Green would make me say neat as I passed by your table.

Purple would make me stop and ask questions.

So I guess it depends on how you handles conversations with strangers

>>52368231
Oh yeah silly me. Have you ever had any experience with Air paints from GW?

/wip/, i need help. I've been repainting X-wing ships, and it's been going pretty well. One of my first repaints was a Decimator that I can definitelty do better on if I try again.

I bought this Simple Green to strip it, but it says it needs to be diluted. How much should I dilute it to strip an X-wing ship?

I can post my Decimator if needed. The paint isn't much more over the stock paintjob.

Thanks in advance!

These are all very nicely painted.

Especially like the Dark Angel Captain.

One thing let's them down though, imo. The paint on the base rim is streaky. A second coat of paint there would fix that easily though. It's one of my personal pet peeves about basing, but worth pointing out here I think.

Can't really criticize much else here. Top notch stuff.

>>52369241
That's for stripping plastic, right?

40k plastic is similar to FFG hard plastic, although it might be softer. I don't want to fuck up my Decimator though.
