Wip - Work in Progress General

So what's the best way to fix up bubble hell resin models?

Liquid green stuff is pretty awful

WIP for my biker chaplain conversion. I think I am at the point where I need to use GS to fill in the obvious gaps. I need to connect the left arm to the PF, and the right elbow could probably use some also.

Right arm, and shoulder are magnetized for posing. I haven't drilled the bolters, or taken off all the mold lines yet.

I haven't GS'd things before so this will be my first model. My plan is to make an "elbow" connecting the left arm and power fist, as well as making the right "elbow" more solid.

Any thoughts so far?

Another angle, showing the missing "elbow".

Any one know of a good forum with high quality painters? I'm looking to become competitive and start ending Crystal brushes.

Crozius looks terrible.

Make it way smaller and shorter so he can wield it with one hand.

Otherwise it looks good but the back wing is too much unless it's ravenwing

>>52495930
I'm not able to travel sadly. That's why I'm looking for online resources. Most I'm finding are tabletop quality plebs who don't even know how to layer. Drybrush + ink = 10 stars!

>>52496041
I am probably going to do something with the back wing, I just don't know what yet I haven't spend much time on it.

The crozius is from the B@C box, you think I should shorten it? I could take 1/3 or 1/2 off of it, but I am not confident in my sculpting skills to make the snipped end look very good.

Re posting >>52483302

Hey guys I finished this character a while ago and while I'm generally happy with the paintjob as it's at the level I'm currently capable of painting at I do feel that due to the large segments of flat white armour it comes off as a little bland. Just to be clear, because I know the paintjob doesn't really show it, the armour isn't just flat white, it's been layered with different light greys up from bleach bone with a white highlight. But anyway I was hoping you guys might be able to point me to some simple tricks for weathering and battle damage.

The other thing I wanted an opinion on is how to get a more faded looking yellow on cloth for a Mordheim war-band I'm working on. I was thinking a layer of screaming skull on a white base coat and then building the yellow up with thin layers of the Yriel Yellow wash. No idea if this would work though so any input would be great.

Ahahaha, looks like we're in the same boat then. I also tend to paint my guys really slowly (took me almost a month to finish a unit of plague marines), but mostly due to the lack of free time (can't really paint every day).

3. Highlight wih HEAVILY watered down Green Grey
4. Edge highlights with Green Grey + Ushabti Bone (or some other bone white)

I also apply some Sepia here and there, to make it more yellowish in places.

I don't get it. It's just a glued, unprimed model, what's wrong with it? I mean, I can see a few gaps here and there, but it's not that bad.

>>52498886
Little late to fix it, unless you have suggestions.

I can tell it's wood, sure. Pretty sure I should leave it that way so I can trigger your autistic snowflake ass with the ~200 shekels worth of kits that had to die to bring this into being, too.

Sure, I'll take some pics tomorrow and dump them all in the next thread (or in this one, if it's still there).
I don't have that much painted stuff anyway:
Painted:
- 2 units of 7 plague marines
- 2 rhinos
- 3 nurgle terminators
- nurgle dreadnought

Unpainted:
- 5 nurgle bikers
- nurgle lord on a bike
- 5 havocs
- 5 obliterators
- 10 nurgle cultists

So yeah, still a long way to go, but I'll upload what I have.

As a sidenote, I'm also painting a dwarf warband for mordheim in my free time. I try to paint them to a higher standard than my CSM, since I want the to have that little extra bit of character.
Here's a guy I painted a couple weeks ago.

I'll try to post some wips regularly.

>>52495875
Solid work anon. Not much else to say really.

>>52499368
It's a bit noticeable. You might be able to fill it on with greenstuff or some sort of resin? The balsa wood will take the paint differently and look weird once everything is finished

>>52498769
>Got a lot of guff for using balsa in this

Can someone explain to me what's happened? I'm genuinely curious.
What's wrong with that model? It just looks like it's been poorly assembled and then drybrushed in places.

>>52501417
The basla isn't cut straight and you can see the wood grain on it.

>>52501417
I think he's referring to using bits of balsa wood to fit in the thunderfire cannon he's got on there.

Frankly if you scrape a bit of greenstuff onto the surface it's impossible to tell under the paint.

Or just use plasticard. But it looks okay to me.

>>52501443
>>52501457
Ooooh, ok, thanks, I see now. I assumed that was just some warped resin, and got confused when he mentioned balsa.
But yeah, scraping some liquid greenstuff, or hell, even a few layers of paint should fix that.

Not my miniatures but I need some advice from painters with a good understanding of colour.

Which type of Tyranid scheme would compliment a Black Legion army? Say if I had the two in a cabinet together as my two armies?

>>52501841
>Not electroplating your minis
PLEBS ALL OF YOU

Getting ready to paint my first minis, a squad of Fire Warriors, and want to make sure I have all the paints I need-

I've primed them black, and am planning to use Abaddon Black for the soft armor, Castellan Green for the plates, Sotek Green for the sept highlights, Nuln Oil for shade, Evil Sunz for the lenses on the visor, with Dawnstone for various straps and belts and such. Does that sound like a solid color scheme? Should I use a different shade, and/or do I need some layers for my castellan green body armor?

>>52502041
>Which type of Tyranid scheme would compliment a Black Legion army? Say if I had the two in a cabinet together as my two armies?
Black Legion is black and gold mainly.
I've seen armies that used orange as accent and this one you posted has so much red at first I thought they were Word Bearers.
So it depends on the accents you set, cause black and gold is pretty neutral.
Black goes with everything and gold is either gonna harmonize or contrast, but you can't 'clash' with just one color, i.e. the gold.

Long-winded of saying hard to tell without knowing how you painted your army, if you did something specific to your force with it..

>>52502289
>Should I use a different shade, and/or do I need some layers for my castellan green body armor?
Sounds solid.
As a rule of thumb for army painting I like to have at least three shades for each color.
Could be three colors layered on top, or a base color washed and then re highlighted with the base again.
I mention this because your list sounds a bit short, i.e. like you are just painting base colors.

For the black parts I'd consider using a grey like eshin grey for example to set some highlights here and there.

Food for though.

Paint a test mini and see how you like the scheme that's always the best way to get a feel for it.

Where is yellow anon with his imperial fists helm id like an update on the tutorial you got going on

>>52502289
>>52502420
>As a rule of thumb for army painting I like to have at least three shades for each color.
Sorry for leaving the crucial part out here.
Three colors are my magic number, because I can use a base, shade and highlight then.

>>52502445
you mean me >>52501471 ?

>>52502420
Thanks for the advice! I was looking at guides and discussion, and realized my current plan was really lacking in the layering department. So maybe one lighter layer for the black (like the eshin grey you mentioned), and a lighter one for the castellan? What green layer would you recommend? Elysian or Loren Forest, maybe?

>>52502457
>>52502500
I'm super new to the whole Citadel paints color scheme, so I'm trying to figure out what colors I should try to fit each of those roles, generally going for the forest-green armor look.

>>52502471

>>52502363
Well they're black legion scheme (easiest way to explain). So silver and whites in there too but on better painted models I've tried not to highlight the gold with silver as that's good to do when silver is already used for metals right? I was thinking early GW Kraken might go well with the greys and red, but I'd like to do a scheme that really pops as I've really regretted going with black and gold for my first project due to the difficulty and dullness.

sound both like solid choices.
GW did a paint chart with some suggestions on recipes a while back.
This is the best pic I could find.
These are just suggestions, and should limit you in any way in the choices you make but as a quick reference it might come in handy.

I don't have many of the new paints yet, so you should probably trust the chart more than me on this one.

Are 2mm magnets good enough for magnetizing infantry like Skitarii, assuming N52? Doing a custom Skitarii team for Newcromunda and I want EVERYTHING swappable down to the belt pouches.

Also, subassemblies. Legs+base on their own, torso/robe as one bit and the arms separate good enough? Previously I was a scrub and painted them all together, although as they were my 1st models I don't think it made things much worse.

Kraken is a solid choice.
The bone white should be a nice contrast.
Leviathan would be a similar contrast.

Strictly speaking you could do some even more extreme things with them too.
I find that pictures of tropical fish or poison frogs are a great source of inspiration for these kind of color schemes.

Imagine an orange army with neon blue patterns on their carapace for example.

>>52502896
Crusty fingers with the flash gitz yellow fists helmets

>>52502923
Thanks for that. I've never been a fan of neon colours as they tend to look either over contrasted or done by airbrush, but the image of tropical fish works well when imagining Tyranids.

>>52503366
>done by an airbrush
I love this meme how you poorfags have to insult airbrush work because you can't afford one

Not arguments.

Novice here...what's the best method for applying water decals? When I apply mine the clear outer edge stays "fogged up" making it look like a shitty sticker. Tutorials I've watched leave the edge completely translucent so it actually looks painted on

Sorry for triggering you, I meant to say overdone by airbrush. As in the cringy lighting shade effects we always see.

>>52504807
How is it bait, didnt call it bad or anything. No matter how well a mini might look or turn out, it does not have as much meaning if you copy someone elses work step by step. I do not paint any GW stuff so yes all my stuff is original and not copied from anyone else. Techniques I use arnt anything special because every technique there is to painting has already been done.

Building the electromagnet base is the easy part. The paintjob is the real difficult step. It feels like he ruined an awesome paintjob with a dumb gimmick. It doesn't even work for long periods of time and he doesn't keep it on for display, only to film, because it isn't sustainable permanently or for long periods of time.

No, I can't make anything as nice as that, before the autistic white knights start sperging. But if I could paint that well, I'd just make a normal diorama. LEDs are a bit more practical and a cool enough gimmick without trying to make a magnetic levitation display.

Hot damn

How do I not ruin my brushes?

>>52506544
Don't apply more force than needed when painting. You only need to gently touch the brush to the surface, unless drybrushing.

Use a brush cleaner after every session. "The Masters" is a popular brand. You simply mix the brush into a material similar to gel deodorant, then swirl it in your hand, then rinse it off. It works wonders.

Try not to get paint into the base of the bristles, as it can dry and expand and ruin the brush.

Store your brushes upright in a cup.

I also use a microfiber cloth to dry off my brush. I feel like paper towels can deteriorate and get paper in your brushes and paint.

>>52506544
Don't let paint get up in the metal part. If you do get paint in there, don't let it sit there and immediately rinse the brush in your water while the paint is still wet and will wash out easily. Buy brush soap to revitalize and clean the bristles and keep the tips sharp.

Fuck. Now I remember.
Last night I dreamed I painted a Bob Guilleman for a friend I haven't seen in 10 years, whom used to collect ultra marines.
And for some reason in my dream, my mum put it in the oven because she thought it would help the paint harden, but instead it started to melt, fucking up some of the details.
So my friend and I drove to Nottingham to buy a new model, but they were out and then the dream got weird as I was hiding under the gaming tables for no reason.

>>52503391
They may not be able to articulate their opinion well, but if you were any good at airbrushing you'd know what they're referring to. It's when your fades aren't subtle enough, your contrast is too high, or you're just pre-shading sloppily.

A good airbrush job looks just like a hand-brushed Golden Daemon that took an entire year to paint, and will never receive "obvious airbrush" comments. Even if the keen-eyed observer knows it was airbrushed, there is no criticism to be made regarding the blending, fades, zenithal, or quality of the spraying. Shitty airbrush jobs make very obvious differences. It's like comparing a beautiful automobile or motorcycle airbrush artwork design to some faggot spraying graffiti on the side of a wall.

Resin dust is not much worse than regular environmental dust, the work conditions however are, often you'll be hunched over the model getting your air intake from the work area, it's not flour/coal/stone lung, but it sure ain't fresh maintain air either.

Anyways, clean with warm water and dishwashing liquid, alcohol on a q-tip if you wanna be extra sure.

I don't think blood's suppossed to be transparent, so the bottom won't be visible. The look should be a quite opaque gory red glossy surface.

That blood will be exposed to air straight up in a pool, so it'll be fully oxygenated anyway. It's why you don't bleed dark from veins. So compare to blood taken from arteries.

The only reason I could think of is that most of the gloss varnishes merchants shove in front of us (Citadel's 'Ardcoat, for example) are thicker than the matte kind. By coating [part of] your model in gloss and then going over it again with matte varnish to remove the shine, You add an extra layer of protection. This is mostly for models that are going to be in games (especially those with waterslide transfers!) rather than display pieces that sit on a shelf; perhaps the anon who advised you thusly was concerned that your intricate space-pattern on the cloak was going to get rubbed off by da uvva ladz 'n' dere greasy mitts.

Other than this >>52518427, Id say its pretty freaking awesome. But this will be easily fixed with some gs. And in the speed your painting, it should be no trouble fixing in no-time!
Keep up the good work!

>>52518073

As >>52518231 mention, gloss varnish is fukken varnish! This will make the stuff you paint rock solid. Base over with a dull-coat if you want to flat it out again. I always do this for metal miniatures, no other way to keep the paint firmly on for the next 10+ years with regular playtime!

If you're not in to the esthetic look of course, it could look quite cool to have a gloss finish on the cloak, just because it would stand out more.

In the midst of all this complaining about improperly sized, blurry images, I want to take a moment to properly honor Anon here for his outstanding work and contribution to the field of image resizing and general non-blurriness.

Thank you Anon. You are an inspiration and may I say hero to the people of this board. May the mold lines always present themselves for removal before priming, and may your paints be thin and your layers plentiful, and may your brush make a nice, fine tip, just like that

Figure i'd ask here too
Any thoughts of making bases that are similar to the colour pallet of Duskwood/Tirisfal Glades/Silverpine Forest?
I've already got the bluish/grey done but i can't figure out a good flock
Something like this https://www.darksphere.co.uk/p.php?p=71899 ?

>>52515644
Looks nice. The dirty robes are a good addition.

>>52518992
duskwood actually uses the same color pallete as elwynn forest. it gets it's spooky coloration from the blue ambient lighting.

>>52518992
You can always wash/paint the flock with a blue wash to get the right colors.
Might look odd unless you paint the minis with the same ambient light though.

>>52518992

Get hold of a set from GSworld rolling pin. I can highly recommend those things for stuff like the pavement for instance. Great stuff!

Especially if you gently desaturate the colour with some light washes of blue.

>>52519015

>Thoughts on that flock though? If there's nothing that goes well i can always just stick with Nightshade washed Astrogranite
Didn't look at them before. Tufts you should probably better drybrush.
Flock, as in the greebly spongy stuff that you can use as undergrowth or moss, takes well to being washed. You can drybrush that too to add definition.
Or put it in to a plastic container with some paint and recolor it before applying it.

Anyway, the tufts you linked look like they might do the trick.
If you give the stonework a blueish hue it should all come together.

Hello Friend.

Are those the ones with the Imperial Guard in red? If so I am he.

The real easy process I use:

1. Scrub the tiles, they have release agent on them.

2. Undercoat using Army Painter Grey Spray - other paints tend to make the paint dry tacky. DForge have a table of what goes tacky and what doesn't.

3. Once dry get your "odd brick" colour - I use Vallejo leather brown. Then just pick random bricks and paint them.

4. Once random bricks are painted, wash using Agrax Earthshade All over. Make sure it's catching the crevasses and keep an eye on any pooling as the design of games tiles causes it to flow to the bottom. I just use a brush to mop up excess and reapply bits looking a bit sparse.

5. Then Dry Brush using a much lighter colour to your random bricks. I prefer to use Khaki from Vallejo. You'll want to use light coats here. You're looking to 'Unify' the different colour bricks and the grey bricks together. If you go too heavy use tactical application of Agrax Earthshade to tone it back again.

6. Take a bright grey or stone colour. I use Wolf Grey from Vallejo. Now apply a very very light drybrush with it - it's called feathering for some reason. You almost want no paint on the brush when you do so then just sort of lightly dust the tiles and bricks to catch the very top detail. This helps soften and blend the stones further.

7. Pick random parts and use tufts of grass and flowers and what not. Make sure its one tuft for every 7-10 pieces you paint up. Less is more here.

8. Your done. Can crack about 20 tiles in a few hours.

I'm going to experiment with some water pools and flocks in my next batch.

Tips:

Definitely Wash the tiles in soapy warm water and rinse.
Less is more when it comes to tufts and features.
Be patient with your dry brush and really build up several thin layers otherwise you get colour clumps and it looks unnatural.
Don't use too many odd-colours on your brick work as it won't mesh well.

Hope that helps

>>52521972

Welp, its messy and the paint looks uneven,particularly the green. I see a mold line on the chainsword forearm. Nothing appears to have been highlighted or washed so its rather flat looking, and the choice of weapon conversion seems a bit odd with their still being a magazine attached to a weapon with a pilot light.

That all said, you atleast tried to pick out all the details there's certainly been far messier posted here. Get the proper tools and paint for the job to start with, try to atleast get a wash on the metals and highlight on the green and red. Try checking out some tutorials on the robes which will probably be the trickiest thing to add depth too without it looking either too subtle or too stark.

most bones are shitty but some were sculpted by people who actually knew what they were doing

>>52521972
thin your paints down, make sure its always consistent (a great way of doing this is making a wet palette)
invest in better brushes and layer paints/oils to add shadow and highlights

Most of Bones is recasts of their older models originally produced in metal.

>>52523449
>Most of Bones is recasts of their older models originally produced in metal.
I guess that explains it. The better bones models are likely the sculpts

Even failcast did a LOT better with new sculpts actually intended for that medium.

Thanks for the advice. I'm trying to get back into the groove, but it's not like I was ever great to begin with. My biggest issue seems to be treating my brushes right and keeping them from getting paint dried on, even though I constantly clean them.
But, regarding the paints, thanks for the advice. I tried getting more colors and textures by mixing some paints in my palette, so that I could add some texture to the robe and armor, but I think it just made it look messy (pic related). I will definitely get some glosses and washes next time I'm at my LGS.
>>52523434
