Put both elbows on the table and rest your dominant hand on the base of the model while you paint. This will make your hands less shaky.

Also, check out Warmaster Duncans videos. He does highlighting on edges really well. Basically it's good brush control and drybrushing very dry, very thin. I reckon you should practise by priming your scrap sprues and drybrushing their edges

Brutal

Also I got the eyes done

>>52580978

It's coming along swell bro, keep it up

>>52581766

As others have stated.

1. Brush control
2. the perfect amount of paint on your brush, your brush has to be wet with paint, but so much that the bristles are soaked with them. If you have too much paint your paint will blob out through the brustles and it won't be so clean.

2a. Get a sharp decent paintbrush, I used winsor and newton sable S. 7
2b. USE. A. WET. PALETTE. get paint on your brush, then wipe the excess off on a kitchen towel but use the same motion duncan does to keep the sharp tip and lightly, and gently pull the side of the brush (not the tip) across the edge of the model. If the paint blobs over and you don't have a thin line on the edge, you used too much paint.

>>52582306

It's probably plastic glue, which has fused the head and the torso together, which means you have to tear the head off which could damage it.

If it's super glue, which it probably isn't, pop it in the freezer for about 30 minutes and then just snap it off, as the superglue, which bonds, doesn't fuse, will become very brittle

>>52582678

Your guild ball stuff looks cool, the hair, imo, is too yellow on this dude, blonde hair doesn't look like that, Duncan actually did a good tutorial on "blonde" hair, as in reality blonde doesn't mean nuclear yellow, it's generally "sandy / bone" which in the case of this dude, bleeds into his very yellow apron. Otherwise good job.

>>52582891

very cool, superb!

>>52583851
>>52583577
Thanks! Though I don't really intend on keeping them head anyways, what might be the best way to just tear off the head?

>>52583936

If you don't want the head, just use your spru-clippers to snip it off as close to the torso without damaging it, then (I personally) would dig the rest out *carefully* with a hobby knife

>>52583936
Well I have flat-nose pliser with bigass teeth in my hobby toolbox for when shit needs torn apart.

I heard you're not supposed to use clippers/cutters for resin. If so, what are you supposed to use?

>>52584019

Mephiston WIP. It's only at the basecoat stage.

I did his armour in Tamiya clear red for a blood soaked appearance. Specifically it was retributor gold, purple wash, Tamiya clear red ( thinned with rubbing alcohol).

It's pewter so I'm probably going to strip it and redo it because it's thick and messy. But is the general idea alright?

If you're really set on bloody armour, I'd say do the "flayed" parts bloddy and the flat panels clean.

You're overusing the blood effect making it lose impact

Also that converted arm looks like a bag of burning shit, at least take a actual marine arm and fit it, use the green stuff sparingly.

Made a little more progress on the 1000pt Warband. I built and magnetized 3 more dudes, got distracted half way through and magnetized my raptors, magnetized a few more weapons, and got the contemptor (stand in hellbrute) off the sprue and fiddled with magnetizing the guns, which worked pretty well.

By Sunday, I still need to:
>build and magnetize 3 more dudes
>finish another terminator and make 2 more combi-plasma
>glue the contemptor body
>build and magnetize the fist
>build a crypt Flayer aka chaos spawn

My rhinos were delayed, so I'll be borrowing rhinos from my SoB army to stand in. However, once my 1000pts is built, I can start painting squads.

I'm going to be modding/converting both a Soul Grinder and a Daemon Prince to be more Nurgley

Anyone have any advice or pointers for using green-stuff effectively, or any examples where you might have done this before?

This will be the first time I use green-stuff to this extent, rather than plugging gaps or covering up conversion mismatches

Does anyone know any good minis I could convert into Grammaton Clerics? Want to make a Shadow War team of them with the Harlequin rules.

>>52584823
Incubi darkness, kabalite green, sybarite green. With dark blue or black washes.

Look at Dark Eldar Incubi or Dark Eldar Kabalite Warriors for an example.

>>52585486
HF recently released a bundle deal for some of their figures.
All basically wearing bodysuits.
Designs inspired by the Underworld deathdealers and a riff on Deadpool.
Not exactly what you are going for but good models, that should mesh well with eldar and most of them use pistols iirc.

The only other thing I can think of with guys wearing suits are gangster minis from Foundry, Copplestone and Northstar games, they'll look pretty out of place next to Eldar minis I think.

You could try and see if you can find something useful from Infinity, but there are only a few models that wear their equivalent of what would be a suit.

>>52583851
I just found that video about doing blonde hair. I may try to touch it up to get that effect. I could probably pull it off without making it look too weird.

>>52585745
They're not going next to Eldar, I just thought that I'd use the rules for the Harlequins as it's closest to their fighting style. Those copplestone ones would be OK with a headswap and different guns if I removed the ties, thanks.

I'm about to take my first dip into this hobby after watching and reading hours of material. I'm starting small with just a few cheap skeletons and Orcs and some reaper bones minis I have lying around. Should be fun.

>>52586021
You will be proud of your first model despite it looking like shit. You'll improve until you will be disappointed by your models despite them looking good.

Just paint and paint and paint, you will improve naturally. Look at videos if you need to learn advanced techniques like blending and non metallic metal.

Just remember, one thick coat is better and multiple thin coats and drink your paint water.

Hey WIP, I have a question.

I keep seeing event exclusive FW minis come up in my instagram painter feed, even old ones.

Is there some secret way to get a hold of these minis without going to the events outside of paying exorbitant resale prices to touts?

Direct colour wheel approach is for making highway billboards and wall-poster to compete with neon signs.

Contrasting primary colours at full saturation on a model is a recipe for disaster.

You need to work with brightness and saturation

Personally I'd recommend a Split complimentary, where either the main or then complimentary colour is lower saturation.

Here's an example.

The purple contrast with the gold,, rose accent the purple, the white add brightness without too much noise, the black calms it down.

The varied saturation and not 100% opposite base colours help make it bearable.

Already it's much less eye watering.

Again I'll defy the wisdom of the colour wheel and say the accent should always support the main colour.

So i went with a warm gold to support the red

With all these decently saturated colours it need to be brought down a little, so i wen tiwth clack undersuit and piping

Now as is shoulder/face/knees as contrasting colour gives it an action figure look so I just fucked around a little until i found something i though looked decent.

While you're just playing around never get stuck on an idea, always mess around, something great may come out of it, if not you can just go back.

Thanks for all the help. Starting to understand this more. I think I'm going to use the one from this post for an army. Thinking of doing the chapter badge mostly black but that might take away from the blue.

>>52587638
Feel free to

Af for the black/blue, I used a grey, not the black so there will be stronger contrast with full on black, but you can always play around, maybe when you get good brush control you can edge the black badge with steel colour, or do the badge IN steel with black edges

SIlvery metals and blue go great together.

And always, paint don't go on minis like palletes go on pixels so YMMW

Don't want to scare you mate but I think you might be in Australia. There's a fucking huge spider right int hat photo

>>52585309

I mostly use 2x1mm magnets and a 3/32 drill bit in a pin vise. You can use smaller bits to start the hole and build up to 3/32, but I've found that I can use my knife to the same effect.

For all dudes, I always build legs and torso first. For Marines with just a weapon getting magnetized, I'll get the arm the gun hand attaches to and drill it out with the 3/32 bit. It will take most of the arms width, so be careful. Do the same thing for any gun hands. Then I just press the magnet into the hole using a piece that's already built so I don't have to worry about polarity.

Then, I attach the gun to the arm and dry fit the arms to the torso to see if the gun sit right. I like using my Autocannons for this because it holds the left arm. Then, I glue the arms to the torso with the gun to get the position I want.

Sgts have more magnets, but are easier because it's just drilling holes and setting magnets. I drill a spot on either side of the torso, then the arms, use already magnetized bits to apply magnets, and do the same for the head and back pack.

It's remarkably easy.

I haven't figured that out yet, however, I was thinking of putting magnetic tape on the inside of the shoulder maybe and a magnet on the outside of the shoulder.

I don't know, but it kind of looks like there is a layer of water effects that had brown in added into it after it was poured.
If you add a drop of ink and move it around with a toothpick or something you might be able to get a similar effect.

The green looks more opaqe. Maybe this was done with two layers.
Can't really tell. Maybe the water effect was tinted slightly green before mixing and the brown was added later.
In the shallow areas the effect looks transparent, but the deeper it gets the greener the puddle seems, so that could be it.

Not sure though.

Maybe you can experiment a few times before doing it on a base.

Sadly no way to have shattering-glass sound effects whenever I Fusion Pistol someone in the face, but I'll make do. Once I find some suitable longcoated dudes, anyway. There's even concept art of Preston holding what looks a bit like a Heresy-era Plasma Pistol.

They have the right poses, at least, but they've got fancy bits everywhere that would be a pain to remove. Maybe I'll try and greenstuff up some longcoats, although my sculpting skills aren't exactly amazing I only need six of them. There's the Heresy Miniatures Officer, who's in the right coat, he'd just need a head and arm swap.

5 down 5 to go for my tac squad. Decided to put a layer of Wild Rider on the guy I just completed on the far left and am now kicking myself that I didn't do it for the rest of my squad.

>>52591982
looking slick, anon! the red could use an extreme highlight, but looks smooth!
also could maybe use some copper on the flamer barrels

>>52592011
Thanks, right now just using Evil Sunz and Wild Rider for highlighting and it's only the far guy on the left that has both. And was gonna pick up some blue and red washes just to give the flammer barrels a heat effect.

Want to paint SCE as dark grey but want miore of a thunder/lightning sky to it so was thinking some kind of blue as the base then a wash and next putting on the grey with a light grey for highlighting. Haven't painted for awhile so looking for some insight on whether that sounds good or not.

>>52591703
I do this too (but mainly because I have 60 Horus Heresy marines) and use CSM backpacks on my champions and HQs. The added size makes them stand out a little more.

Posting my third slaughterpriest. I think he's about ready for paint.
This was the free one that came with WD a few months ago. I already have one of these built completely standard, so I needed to make him different. None of the weapon bits I tried worked well with him, so I gave him a huge mutant arm from a crypt horror.

>>52592734
Nice work, really like what you did here.
Also nice to see the old head from the chaos mutation sprue in a new context. Works really well in terms of scale too.
The only thing I'm not sure about is the upside down punch dagger thingy under his right shoulderpad. It covers so much of the arm the pose is hard to read in the top right image.
Other than that two thumbs up from me.
Also a good eye for scale with the crypt horror arm.

>>52592734
You should give him another, smaller arm. Mutate the fuck out of that git, he's got khorne's gifts on 'em right?

Unfortunately it's kinda necessary to mask the join where I changed his arm/ shoulder. In trying to avoid the stock shoulderpad, I had to carve away a bunch to make the chaos knight one fit, except it doesn't cover much by itself.

Maybe you could sculpt some chainmail over the shoulder or have some leatherstraps hanging from the pad instead?
Your GS skills seem up to the task.

Reminder that if you didn't build Arkhan with the mortarch kit, use his body for a mounted wight king with standard

>>52593175
Go for something neutral.
blue, silver and white would go together and the purple would bring a contrast to that for example.
So you keep the color range in the cool shades and the purple introduces some warmth.

chaos doesn't have to be uniform.
And if it bothers you so much, and the new stuff is dopeass, then build a new termie sorcerer with the new bits.
Doesn't have to happen all at once either.
Just start with building some shiny new stuff and replace the old stuff bit by bit.

You're right, it's just difficult to get this nagging voice in my head.

I decided to take a good look at the sprues for the SO and if I see properly, the headcrest is attached to the gorget, the chest is attached to a section of the back and then there's a separate back piece with the exhaust.

This means after assembling all of them, you have 2 extra headcrests/gorgets and the parts necessary to make a complete torso! This way I can actually convert my Indomitus Sorcerer into a wicked custom pattern of both with a bunch of extra detail. Alright, I'm sold. I love my old termies but it's time to transfer their dust into new and improved bodies.

Thanks bro. I really dig most of the metal sculpts from that era. They're from around when I came into the hobby, and it's the aesthetic I most closely associate with warhammer. Things got a little to goth-baroque couture after that.

Don'tgo straight from black to gold, if you do so you'll never get a good base until it's gunked up.
Start from black, go to brown, then gold. After that then it's all washing, as well as with the silver.

Different anon, can confirm. Just finished my first model yesterday. It looks like shit.
That said, anyone have any tips on facial detailing, specifically eyes? I had to try a couple tries to get my cultist's eyes remotely straight with no paint bleeding from the iris to the cheek, and that cost me some quality with having to re-layer the skintone a few times.

>>52599023
IMO eyes are overrated. I usually just paint them flesh tone like the rest of the head and fill em in a little bit heavier with the ink.
If you're just going for average table quality, if you can't do the eyes, don't, or else it'll just detract from an otherwise decent figure.

>>52599023
Use a very fine brush. Paint the eye sockets black. Then, paint a little bit of white over that for the actual eye. Then add a dot of black for the iris (or whatever color you want the iris to be). Remember to paint them as ovals, not circles. Also remember to thin ya paints and have as little paint on the brush as possible when doing fine details. It takes practice, but you'll get the hang of it.

This being said, I would only recommend doing it for important minis, like characters and such. Grunts aren't usually worth the effort.

The game is only as fun as your opponents make it. Unless you can find socially acceptable people/make friends play it or even buy enough models to introduce others then I wouldn't advise it. Do some research and try to find the game stores in your area.

total newb here
can I basecoat a normie marine for salamander's colors with Caliban Green instead of a black basecoat?
will this make the gold details harder to paint later on or will it be ok as it's a pretty dark green?

I thought it might make the greens look better if the basecoat was also green but I don't have much reason for thinking this so figured I'd ask

>>52600860
It might be slightly tougher since you lose the natural shades black priming gives you, but all in all colored primers usually make things much easier-faster.

No. I had to cut the joints and only have an xacto knife, no saw. The first cut was bad. The later joints are much better, but that's also why we have green stuff. Also note that the edges are actually smooth. I realized the picture makes them look rough, though the MM was rather rough before the GS.

>>52600840

Fuck me. That's a great idea. Thankfully, I have a second boxed set!

>>52600860
Basecoat is not the same as primer.

Primer/Undercoat is a textured paint to improve paint adherence and provide a even colour for the basecoat to go onto.

Basecoat is the base colour of a given area, applied after Primer/Undercoat, but before layers, shadows and highlights.

With GW paints only the white and black are real primers, their coloured spays are basecoats in a can.

Af for the gold question, I'd reccomend you lay down a yellow/brown/red base in that area before working with the gold, metallics are finicky.

>>52600930
>>52600888
thanks for quick replies, will probably prime in black, meant to say prime in my first post but got confused

>>52600941
You can get colored primers from Army Painter, work great.

>>52600930
>With GW paints only the white and black are real primers
No they aren't. Find any official description of Chaos Black or Corax White that uses the word primer.

>>52600954
Primer/Undercoat

Primers are textured to provide grip for subsequent paint layers, it may or may not me coloured

Undercoats are primers with colour added to ensure uniform coloration of subsequent paint.

I'm in guam so I wasn't able to order any spray on primers with my paint last week as they won't ship them overseas or some bs.

Can I just use some home-depot black spray primer? Or is it too poor quality?
I don't want my models to look like shit and I'm sure that they will if I try to brush prime them

The radio guy and flamer guy were primed with wither white or black spray paint from a hardware store. I have a habit of priming very lightly because I've accidentally caked it on for a few models

Make sure it's not gloss, primer+varnish or primer+sealant type and your should be good.

If you're not using nigger paints by GW then you can do it just fine. Glorious gold from Vallejo game colour covers black no problem in 1 coat.

>>52601291
Do it. But make sure to keep all the pieces "clean", match the poses right, and make sure everything fits.
Do experiment with colours and designs first. Try sketching out a rough idea, then locate the potential parts, then put them together.
It may not be mechanised miss universe, but it will probably be pretty cool.

Cobbling together some bitz to make a crack squad of Kommandos for Shadow War Armageddon.

Most looking forward to the Nob. I have the torso (with the sweet backpack) from the FW Kommando conversion kit. I'm going to replace the arms on it and give him a tactikool Kombi-Skorcha.

All the models will have cool gear masks/goggles. The Yoofs will have less cool gear and no masks, until the gits earn their stripes.

This ultra opaque paints take forever to dry but the top layer should blend more than in the pic once dry (I hope)

This looks really great. My only suggestion would be to double-check the cloak. You want that to be as smooth as possible so make sure the layers you've used blend into eachother.

Still wip, I lot of drybrush but I kinda tried to do some bark textures...not sure if I was successful in that.
Now, How should I paint the lamentirii (their magic seed in the middle), and the symbols in the shoulders/chest? I was thinking either purple or the same yellow of the bows...

Am I going to wear down my sprue cutters a fair bit if I'm using it to remove heads or other bits from figures that have already been built?

Thick and messy. Strip and start again and take your time.

>>52603968
S'wut iz sat to ur mam.

>>52603990
ah, can't take criticism then? look at your pictures carefully and see how thick the blue is, the lack of highlights, how you bleed the blue onto the gold and where there's not enough gold been layered on in places. That's an expensive centre piece model, do it some justice.

>>52602061
It's correct.

>>52604024
yo i didn't actually say that, im fine with criticism this dude came outta nowhere

>>52604044
>this dude came outta nowhere
S' wut she sed

>>52604024
>>52603990
I'm inclined to agree. It's a bad idea to prime that in gold, I'd say you're better off going with a grey prime and then the ultramarine base spray and then progress from light brown to gold so it has depth. Right now it's sorely lacking.

>>52604044
ah, then apologies. but the points still stand. you need to take more time. i'm guessing by the look of it you built him in one piece and then painted him.

>>52604075
yeah, ive only been painting for about a month if that so im nowhere near a professional, no airbrush cant even keep my hands steady so yeah, i can see why people would think i didn't do him justice, now i jus feel bad

>>52604098
if you've only been paiting a month you should not be attempting a model like that yet. you should be churning through grunts until you feel confident in your skills. look at the links above about how to strip and strip him back down. practice and then come back to him.

The other guy is being a bit of an asshole but he's right that your paints look alternately too thin and too thicc. For someone so new it looks pretty good.

How many of you have experience making dioramas? I've been wanting to make a nice little display for while now but I just need some inspiration.

>>52604187
>Flames should be lightest in colour at their tips
that's wrong though, the brightest point of flames should be the base

>>52604098
While your version is by no means a golden demon winner it is still a pretty solid paintjob.
Not a display piece, but it's fine.

You don't HAVE to wait until somebody tells you your painting is good enough to tackle the projects you like.
The whole point of this hobby is to have fun.
If you enjoyed painting the model you got your money's worth out of it imo. If there are people telling you otherwise keep in mind that that is just because it's a relatively expensive model.

In any case you can always start over.

But waiting until you magically get good is silly. Getting better happens by picking a challenging project, like the one you just finished.

Don't take the criticism here too personal or let it take away your motivation.
Take what you can use of it.

Part of getting better is actively asking for feedback on what you did.
But part of that is also learning how to take feeback. Or when to go with our own gut. It's a skill you're gonna learn too.

Anyway I'm gonna get off the soapbox.

Just wanted to let you know that your hobby should never make you feel bad, even if people shit all over your work.

Simple Green, you can find it in any general goods store if they have any sort of auto section.
