Thoughts? I'm not an experienced painter but this is definitely the best looking model I've ever done. I spent extra time on her because I played with her this weekend and she managed to, against all odds, kill Magnus in single combat.

I'm thinking I might try to add a bit to the hair, to make it pop a little more (nuln oil maybe?), and touch up the highlights on the parchment. And maybe do a bit more highlighting on the armor.

Also, do you guys have any recommendations for the inside of the cloak? I'm wary of using a wash for it because I don't want it to end up blotchy.

>>52627849
That's your best looking model...? I don't ever like saying some one is a lost cause but...

>>52627983
aren't you a rude little egg
>>52627849
looks fairy good, but the gold needs more depth and shade, seems a little flat. also, look up tutorials on painting white, the parchment seems a little odd.

>>52627849

Looks decent anon, couple of tips.

-Put more work into that cloak, the highlights should carry all the way down to the hem, instead of clearly stopping part way down.

-Gold looks best with a highlight of silver around the edges.

-Work more contrast into the reds.

-Parchment looks unfinished.

>>52627983
theres no such thing as a lost cause in a hobby like painting, unless you have a condition that gives you extremely shaky hands
>>52627849
use a small amount of wash and simply guide the brush so it doesn't look like there are blotches.

Kek I wouldn't even know where to begin with something like that. These guys arrived a lot quicker than I anticipated! Guy flat packed a few boxes to reduce shipping. Turns out the scouts box was empty barring some left overs pieces (heads, guns, a few legs). Doesn't really bother me because I really only wanted the snipers for my Gunners of Nuln warband I'm putting together. All in all I'm not complaining. Everything else is either sealed or complete. May even save the Basilisk to use at Christmas for secret Santa. Not bad for $20 dollarydoos
>>52628659
I knew someone would pick up on that.

You've probably gone to bed now lad but in case you're still up have these. I certainly wouldn't want to assemble a miniature like that without instructions.

I had to chuck it in an imgur album because it's 7 pages long, sorry if it's a little blurry as I've only just woken up myself.

What's my best course of action if I want a few small bits from a large kit? Hit up someone here who'd be willing to part with the pieces for a price?

>>52629100

waybackmachine doesn't work for blogspot, so not sure it's possible

>>52629158

there are many "bitz" sellers online, also on eBay.

>>52629171
I am aware, but not a single one stock what I want, which is unfortunate. I'm looking for the two characters that ride on top of the Nurgle daemon, kit's called the Glottkin.

>>52628714
Plastic Scouts and Cadians are among the worst plastics in the entire model line due to how old and outdated the sculpts are.

Not exactly much to be proud of. I hope you paid well under retail for them.

>>52629158
Depends on the bits and the kit they're from.
>>52629189
You're rather fucked out of luck.
However you should be able to easily convert the fatto from other nurgle WoC, he's not all that special.

Due to highlighting roadblocks and the realization that all my small brushes had their poor bristles torn out by a misuse of a collandered water container, I decided to make headway on my base this evening instead. Looking forward to getting new brushes and maybe some hands on help tomorrow.

I'm trying to use contrast colours form colourwheel to mish-mash them even more, but I see that I can't make everything with washes. Fur on back looks retarded at some of them.

>>52629566
I like your idea. Tzeentch is supposed to be about variety, I don't get the blue meme.

>>52629544
Oo I like the l the faint rustiness you achieved on the iron warrior. Your stripes are nice too.

Come on anon you can do better than that. Those hi-lights are way too thick on his head and it looks like you haven't done a wash in the recesses of his body armour. Take your time I know you can do better

I am in the process of taking pictures of nearly a hundred Descent v2 miniatures before the customer come take them to their sweet home tmr morning.

This must seem like a basic question but:
What is the real difference in Sepia, Agrax and Reikland shades?

I still see too many guides for things like bones/horns using them interchangably.

>>52629924
Sepia is a dull orangish-brown.
Agrax is a very dark brown, more of a mud color.
Reikland is a very fleshy red.

They're all different hues, is the big thing. You can use all of them on bones/horns if you want to, but it'll produce slightly different effects. Reikland should be used if you want a warmer colour, Agrax for old bones and Sepia for everything else.

It's really a matter of what fits the rest of the pallette. I know using Reikland for bons on models that are suppsoed to be old and battered doesn't look quite right.

>>52629970
Thanks for the reply.
I've also heard people uning Nuln to achieve more of a "gothic" look since the other 3 are very warm washes

That accurate? I'm using a ratio of 2:1 of Zombies/Skeletons in my unit comp, because not all flesh rots equally, and trying to get them looking "similar"

>>52629362
Nice job so far man! I dig the sword, should be a pretty rad paint job once finished!
>>52629639
you try painting like that with a base brush m8

>>52630000
Nuln would give a very desaturated look, which I guess does fit the gothic style.

If you want them to look similar, then I would suggest sticking to the same shade for all the bones regardless of what would actually make sense. A coherent army is better looking than a realistic one.

As an aside, shade dead flesh with purple. Gives it enough red to look like human flesh but keeps it cool enough to be an obvious "This thing is dead".

>>52630028
I never thought of using Purple washeson flesh
Thanks so much anon - will post when painting the unit

>>52628359
>theres no such thing as a lost cause in a hobby like painting

So minor update on 30k Kharn kitbash, here's some options for shoulderpads and an alternate arm I'm seriously considering after finding it. I'm putting the fw mkIII pad on the pistol arm, it's the only mkIII pad I have free at the moment. Should I go for a pair of mkIII, go for the slimmer mkIV, the marauder one, or just go bare? And pistol arms, after throwing on the new one, I have a pretty good idea of which one looks cooler, just gonna have to fix the armor where I cut the previous hand off the B arm but still looking for suggestions. Also more head ideas are welcome, anywhere from looking like the official fw to 3rd party or kitbashes.

>>52630476
I'd say 1 B
2 B it the helmet and shoulder won't collide

Painting a Nob conversion for a friend of mine who plays Orks (the absolute madman!), am a bit concerned about how he's coming out. He's themed after Russian airborne troops, if anyone's interested.

>>52630514
Looks solid, needs a cigar though.

>>52630476
1B as well.
I would have gone for 2B but as the other anon said, the pauldron will be a problem for the helmet.

So I angled down the mkIII shoulderpad since the pose would have it like he is tilting the shoulder at an odd angle and it is the cooler of the three pads. Here's a rough idea of what I'm thinking.

>>52630691
the moot is the place where the halflings live in WHFB.
That was probably a thing before 4chan ever was.

Can anyone up Tyranid painting guides? There are none except the Broodlord in the Mediafire folder.

Hey fellas how do I get my decals to lay flatter and look better?

>>52630909
1. Put them down on a gloss surface
2. Use decal setter & solvent (micro-sol & micro-set are probably the most popular, plenty of other brands)

personally, when i put big deals on rounded surfaces like a knight shoulder, i cut little slits to help let it fold naturally with curve. Not big slits nor all the way through.

For making them look better >>52630928
Listen to this anon

>>52630953
I believe /k/ used them as currency before then.

>>52630928
So next time paint model, gloss coat decal areas; decal, Mr mark setter,then clear coat again

>>52631006
Yeah, if you were going to do some heavy weathering, I'd clear coat everything after the decals; if not, just go on to your top coat.

Man this kit has been a challenge. Mold lines and fragile as fuck parts were a headache. While I dig it overall, if I played at all, and played Vampire Lords and had to build multiple of these fuckers, I think I'd choose a different army.

I'm undecided if I'm going to put the Ghoul King or whatever on top. I kinda wouldn't mind using his head and arms for some 40k stuff and feel like the Terrorgheist looks fine without him. I'm gonna end up putting on a lot of gaps and am going to use some for a "flesh hanging" look on some spots.

What should I do with the Zombie Dragon parts?

>>52631051
Build them into something, turn them into objectives or as decoration for your bases

>>52631051
>if I played at all, and played Vampire Lords and had to build multiple of these fuckers, I think I'd choose a different army.
If you played at all you could just opt to use a model you like more.

The transition from yellow to red on the tips of the flames needs work, at the moment it doesn't look very natural, feather the red more so it's not just a solid line

Been working on a "Ork" warband for Shadow War: Armageddon inspired by the Diggas of old. Waiting on a load of plasticard and other hobby supplies arrive before I can actually finish them but the base models are done at least.

I also need to make the Boss for the team, but I'm still debating whether I use a Slaughterpreast or a Blood Reaver. Either way he needs to be a big guy.

And what is a good way to paint strongly tanned skin? I feel like all of the "skin tone" paints I have are either too pink or too light.

You need to thin your paints

Good lors anon, I don't need that additional pressure. I already don't feel very proud of having painted something like less than 30 models in 6 months.

>>52632050

>>52632061

Should I try thinning my off-white/greys, Celestra and Ulthuan Grey, with Lahmian medium instead of water?
No matter how thin I try to get my coats, it always end up a tacky white.

>>52630909

White vinegar in the soaking water will soften them up, it's what's IN decal softener.

If I link to a Mega folder is there any way for people to fuck with it or track who runs it? I have some.. stuff you guys might like.

A few weeks ago, an anon posted a pic of a 40k CSM with a Fantasy shield and a melee weapon. Anon, are you here? You had the shield in a position I liked and would love to see the other side of it to see how you achieved that.

Your shipment of dragon dildos?

>>52630864
There is a company called bad dragon and it is funny to make jokes about people buying dragon dildos. It is like the whole "op is a faggot" thing.

Figure painter magazine issues 1-36. Best miniature painting magazine out there full of tutorials, product reviews and show reports. It's like old white dwarf without the battle reports. Check it out and if you like it pick up some of the new issues since they're really cheap at $2 a pop.

Include this in Op if you want. Might improve some of the painting skills around here.

>>52632313
>Although then again they look pretty damn beefy on the cover of Digganob.
The spirit of the 80s was still alive and kicking then.

Anyway you could look into ungor, flagellant, ghoul or zombie parts too.

The best fit would probably be a bunch of universal bare rifle arms from victoria, but if you want to stick with purely GW you'll have a hard time finding bare arms that hold a two handed ballistic weapons.

It's by far the highest standard I've ever seen in print and often with tutorials telling you how to do it.

Im new to minis and going to be properly basing my first mini hopefully tonight and have some basing grit and concrete pieces but I have a stupid question.

When using basing grit, is glueing the mini to the Base before adding the grit acceptable? To me it seems a bit easier as I can have the mini in the exact pose I need and then build the scenery around it. My issue is that it may look weird if hes not actually standing on the grit and is a bit too low down.

>>52632727
can't give you a guide but generally I'd say you're best of if you start with a midetone and then add a pattern with a dark and a light shade. After that adding shading with a wash of some kind should be easy enogh.
Tigerstripes and dot patterns are probably easiest to do, digital patterns are gonna drive you insane.
If you google around for some tutorials on painting actual camo for WWII games like Boltaction and the like you should find plenty of useful information.
For 40k (I assume Kommandos mean orks, right?) you can go with something more extravagant though.
If you don't want the camo to be too garish you could pick a selection of patterns and use similar colors. For example an assortment of desert camo patterns mixed together would still give them a unified look, while looking somewhat hodgepoge at the same time.

>>52632932
Do whatever works for you. As long as it actually works there is no correct way to do this stuff.

Glue the model down, put a layer of PVA glue + water onto the base. Dip in sand. Give another layer of PVA once the first is dry. Paint the base.

That's the classic technique any way

>>52632932
Usually that's not a big deal unless you are using some really coarse grit.
If you are dealing with plastic models sandwiching a small piece of plastic card under the feet when you glue it to the base can counteract the 'sunken' look.
You can also do the bases first, but then you need to pin the model to the base, cause glue will usually not be the safest way to secure it to the base.

Hey /wip/

3 questions.
>what size brushes do I need? Do I need one of every size? How small do I go?
>how do I stop my brush bristles from going stiff after a painting session? Do I wash it in brush soap after every session?
>so far I've been using over the counter sable brushes from the art shop. Is there more specific model brushes I should get? Any recommendation on sets of brushes?

>>52633064
A size 1 is your main stay brush, it does everything but dotting eyes basically.

A size 0 is for super fine detail work.

Use brush cleaner. There's a popular brand in a cream tub. Once you've done use warm water and lather it up in the pot then wash it out and point it again to dry. Also good idea to use some shampoo and conditioner once a month to give it a wash, helps keep the brush alive longer.

Any sable brush that holds it's point is good. Winsor and Newton make the best brushes but if you're just beginning don't buy their series 7. You will destroy them in no time. Stick to your art shop brushes if they're working for you then in 6-12 months time try other brands and pick up 1 series 7.

>>52630953
Dragon dildos have been a meme since I've been on 4chan, which I'm pretty sure is over 10 years now.

>>52633064
>>what size brushes do I need? Do I need one of every size? How small do I go?
You don't need one of every size. Small brushes can be useful, if you have a brush with a good tip you'll be able to paint detail regardless though. That is, if you have the brush control.
For a beginner a small brush for detail work might be more helpful.
>>how do I stop my brush bristles from going stiff after a painting session? Do I wash it in brush soap after every session?
Stiff? to some degree that is normal, at least with natural hair. It should be soft again if the hair gets wet.
If you have stiff bristles because there is paint left in the brush you didn't clean your brush properly.
Usually you don't need brushsoap if you take good care of your brushes.
That means not overloading your brushes, i.e. letting paint soak up into the ferrule. This will splay the tip of your brush if it dries there.
>>so far I've been using over the counter sable brushes from the art shop. Is there more specific model brushes I should get? Any recommendation on sets of brushes?
Sable brushes are great for the spring and the flexibility. They can last you a long time if you take good care of them.
However you can achieve good results with synthetic brushes too. These will wear out and eventually become useless, but they are cheap.
Which brush you pick is due to personal preference. If you don't mind burning through cheap brushes or you don't want to care for them synthetics are a possible alternative.

Sable brushes are universally regarded as the holy grail, but the main difference is as I said in the spring of the bristles.
If you don't take care of them properly you are wasting money on something you are not taking advantage of.

In the end it's down to personal preference.

It's a good idea to have a set of synthetics to use for washes, metallic colors and things like drybrushing and the like. You don't want to ruin natural bristles with that stuff.

Thank you for your quick response!

Awesome. I'm working with a 0 right now and wondering why painting was so tedious. I'll grab a new 1 and 0 tomorrow.

I have that one, looks like an old tobacco tin but in plastic cream. I'll have to go find it among my junk. Oh shampoo and conditioner? Didn't know that thank you.

Awesome. Not sure where I'm gonna get a Windsor and Newton being in Australia as all googling shows UK.

Last question. What do you use as a pallet? I see Duncan spreads it onto something white, mixes a little water and paints. I've been doing that so far using a cut of foamcore but it seems to dry up, maybe being absorbed by the paper. Is a plastic pallet a better idea?

>>52627769
So, I just bought a Chaos Rhino and some CSM, so I can cut them up and use as scenery for the Imperial Knight I'm building.
He will crush the Rhino under his foot, the roof of it pushed in, maybe at the position of the Rhinos stormbolter, with the gunner stuck under the Knights foot. Probably some CSM lying around. To make this work out a bit better, I'd use lots and lots of modeling clay to give the impression of a muddy battlefield, where both have sunk into the mud.

What are the chances of me fucking completely up and wasting quite some money on a sort-of diorama that won't really work out?

>>52634916
Substantial. Unless, of course, you plan everything out meticulously or have a damn good eye.

>>52634940
I'm not gonna rush it, because I always wanted to build a Knight, but I want to give him a super special snowflake scenic base, and not just the regular base with a few flocks of grass sprinkled onto it.

Does that even work out size wise? I mean a knight's big, but they're not that big.

>>52635153
That's where the "mud" should kick in. Let the Rhino sink deep into it, so the Knight can reasonably step onto the Rhino.
If there's really no way to make it look okay, then I guess I have some CSM and a Rhino, I can live with that.

>>52635379

Except making some sort of sealed frame.

Are there any really dark blue cans for base coating? I have a bunch of nightlords I need to start painting, and my usual approach is chaos black spray with Kantor blue over it. However, being able to spray my base layers would a huge time saver.

Second idea is to do the end bits gold with the main part of the bow in reds/orange

Playing with the thought of painting some 40k dudes in 70s/pulp sci fi inspired colors
Larger metal surfaces should be chrome
Other than that contrasting tones of orange-brown and azure-blue
Which models would support this style best?

I'm thinking either default marines or eldar

>>52636912
I've seen marines and tau battlesuits painted with SENMM, which looked good.

Though if you are going for retro sci-fi then Adeptus Mechanicus is basically retro-sci-fi The Faction.
Seriously, these Katellan robots or whatever they are called would be a perfect fit for something like that.

>>52636628
Going to paint a little "S" on their backs?

>>52636912
Eldar are probably a good pick for this style. The colors would work. Nothing else is quite as clean and smooth.
Well maybe Necrons. It would be a very unconventional style for them. Might be cool tho.

>>52637100
Then he can paint a stand white and upset the tumblrites...

>>52633493
Because the basic colour scheme I have for my dudes are all purple and blues, orange helps to give some much-needed contrast. I substitute all blue glow from for example lenses and weaponry on AdMech/Skitarii with orange, and it looks great so far. Figured I'd keep all tech screens in orange as well for consistency.

>>52637100
Hah well i think once all the details are done, especially the horns the skittle effect will diminish slightly. I'm enjoying that comparison though.

>>52636867
Lizardmen macuahuitl are generally more club-like than obsidian-sword. The power macuahuitl can be easily made from three layers of thin plasticard, the blades being the middle layer. From there it's thin greenstuff squiggles and attaching it to the powersword housing of a normal blade.

There's no real way of getting around learning to sculpt for the jaguar hides, but you can use oyumaru to at least recast the heads instead of resculpting them every time.

Hey I plan on doing up a Chaplain Dreadnought as a part of my Blood Angels collection. Just trying to figure out how to kit it. Left arm is close combat, for sure, but I'm deciding between multi-melta, inferno cannon or assault cannon for the right arm. Will probably never see the tabletop (I don't think BA can even field them legally) so I'm prioritizing flavor and aesthetics here. Recommendations?

>>52638231
If it's probably never going to see games just make it a furioso

>>52634507
Nice! I'm not the biggest fan of the original models besides the shaman, but I love the concept.

>>52638326
That feels a bit boring. At a minimum I may proxy it in as a furioso with a frag cannon.

>>52638231
>inferno cannon
seems most fluffy I for a chaplain I think. Purge the unclean and all that.
Next best thing would be an assault cannon. Cause it's simple like a croxius.

I could see a melta too for the punch it packs, but microwaving stuff is probably not as satisfying as burning it, when you are a religious fanatic.

Don't know the BA codex, but seismic hammers are a thing now right? Can a BA take one or is that something reserved for Ironclads and the like?
Anyway a Dread sized crozious could definitely pass as one.

>>52637419
ok, makes sense

>>52637419
Can I have your orange glow recipe please? I want some cool glowy Mechanicum, but they're in bone and bronze and blue wouldn't work too well. I was thinking either green or orange. A green would be nice too, but I have a feeling that would be a pain to paint. Never done any green at all before, oddly enough.

Anybody got a good tutorial for painting flesh? I really dislike the way gw does theirs, it comes out very unnatural and "painted " to me. I know about painting buddha but he is elder god tier and I can't begin to replicate him

>>52639954
I know it's freud upon, but try drybrushing the skin with white, and black or brown. Also try agrax earthshade, instead of reikland fleshshade.

Head is a placeholder just to show the viability of the shoulderpad with the adjusted angle, I'll likely be going for something a tad more generic and leaning toward loyalist since it's Kharn before full on Khorne worship and meant to look somewhat like the fw model. It'll likely get a crest on it to fancy him up though.

what paint brushes should i buy. been collecting a small force of chaos marines and want to start painting them

What would be the best way to add rivets to things? I've been considering scratchbuilding/modifying some things, namely IG vehicles, but they've got so many tiny little rivets on them and I want whatever I make to match. The sprues on the Knight I just got also seem to have rubbed together during shipment and knocked the tops off a couple of the rivets on the bigger armor pieces and I'd like to fix them.

Ideas?

Make sure your metal sculpting tools are damp so you can work easily.

>>52641136
microbeads that are typically used for "nail art" are a pain to work with simply due to their size but they work perfectly, just do like a half turn with a drill bit of a matching size and drop it in with a bit of glue and you're good

>>52640297
Oh... Well that's disappointing. I do like those legs, but it's the other two variants that look terrible. What's with the extra plates and shit? I just want MkII legs that aren't shit, but 8€ for 2 isn't for my wallet.

What is it with 3rd parties and making kits that contain a vast variety of different style bits in one? If there's a helmet I really like, it's bundled with 4-9 helmets I don't like. Why can't they sell those helmets individually or in batched of a certain style per? Some companies do, but not enough.

>>52641424
I feel your pain, I'll make the other legs work since I'm doing chaos and cobbled together weird armor is fine by me but the ones I used on Kharn are definitely my favorite of the three.

I imagine you might be able to contact them and make a request, might work out. The leg pairs were cast individually rather than all together so they might be able to do it. Heads are usually all on one frame so those would be less likely. It's probably an issue about fulfilling custom orders, especially if the process to make stuff leaves them with leftovers that may go to waste.

I think a little more contrast between the recesses and raised areas might be called for. I'm digging a violet wash atm. I'd suggest going a bit more gentle with the highlights on the parchment. I like the highlighting on the cloak, did you drybrush that on?

Here's another pointing librarian for the party. (I've since taken her off the throwaway, painting base and put her on a real one.)

>>52642168
As it looks now, you seem to have only basecoated it 2 colors. So it's a but hard to critique . However,

1) it looks like you didn't prime or used a grey primer. Regardless I can see grey through the basecoat on the leg, in the recesses of the eyes and other areas

2)the basecoat is uneven, thick in some areas and too thin in others. Try applying each color after thinning with water in 2-3 smooth thin coats

3) neaten up the area between colors, silver and gold should touch but not spill onto the other or leave parts unpainted. This is just brush control and gained through practice

4) Some parts that are silver or gold on the box art are unpainted in your picture. If you plan on painting them metal do so now.

5) apply a wash to the parts you've painted. If using gw colors I recommend nuln oil for silver and agrax for gold

It's your first model so there is nothing wrong with it inherently, just go back and take your time to be neat and thorough. I recommend watching Duncan's tutorials on warhammer tv, the long ones are much more informative than the daily tips
Also green for the robes

>>52644031
It's led by a Dominus from Cult Mech. Not sure how I'd do him, I don't like the official old man pimp model so it'd likely be almost scratch built. The Inquisitor is technically just a representative so I think the Skitarii would be almost like a military police with more of a "face" than normal war born mech. Never been a fan of the metal Star Fox feet either so they'll definitely get a swap.

>>52644017

Yea I tried but totally fucking botched it. Going to try and go back over it when I return to finish off highlighting the black parts.

So, besides GW and spellcrow, is their any places that sell noise marine bits? Guitar or not, everything's cool with me.

Thanks man.
My army will be mostly skeletons so I'm happy people like the scheme.

Might have to darken the shading on the ghoul to make it stand out a bit, but then I kind of like the smoothness of the skin next to the high contrast look of my skeletons.

I'll have to experiment a bit, these are tests after all, and some parts like the bases And some details I'm not happy with yet.

>>52646161
Painboy has a couple for fingers without the plunger part, 1/35th military stuff might have some but they'd be the most brittle things on the planet if they do, there's a medic arm from the scion box, I'm guessing dark eldar has needles somewhere but I'm unfamiliar with them, space marine apothecaries have needle things too. It'll likely take you chopping stuff apart and gluing it back together if you don't build them yourself from scratch. It's just so tiny, the needle would be unreasonably small if you stuck to scale and the plunger would be super breakable as well if you went for the the same style as in your picture. That's a tough one man, good luck.

>>52646426

Considering I'm making my Tau theme to be ambush-based in a jungle/swamp, would it make sense to have the crisis commander (whose meant to be a bodyguard for shadowsun while he gets her stealthfield) posed like Jehuty?

I can't think of a suitably badass pose and I love hiding little references to things I love in my minis.

>>52648139
Makes sense to me.
I see potential for a "ghost of the battlefield" model. Go ahead.

>>52648242
there's plenty of those, I field lots of stealthsuits but I just worried the pose would be too boisterous for an army themed around stealth, outflanks and that kind of hit'n'run mentality.

It'll look shit. Tau robots are too blocky to do anime properly.

>>52648533
It's one of my fears, yeah. He'll have most of the gun options magnetised on his arms but airburst and missile pods will be shoulder-mounted. I want a pose that looks good with either setup (like having him points both arms would look stupid without actual guns..). That and the pose preferably fits with the aesthetic of a sneaky git.

>>52646381
You've done a great job and I've enjoyed watching it. I wasn't totally convinced at first because your transitions are quite harsh but the bold look you've ended up with is great, I bet it looks fantastic in the "flesh".

Look up the Valkyrie's from macross. They are what Tau are based on and will give you some good posing ideas.

You're doing great. Really really great.
I think you can invest in a few finer brushes for your highlights and your eyes, but you're doing great.

You might want to get some more lighter metalics and highlights those parts as well. But so far you're doing great.

Add light flesh to your dark green and work up until it's almost just flesh tone then give it a green wash to pull it more towards green or brown or whatever works for you then.

The colours are all roughly where they should be and you're highlights aren't that bad.
It looks like you had a bit of an accident priming them though, the models should not look that lumpy.
You're definitely off to a good start, just keep practicing.

I'd also reccomend staying away from effects like blood until you've 100% got the basics down

>>52650100
Oh, also, input on basing would be appreciated. I've never based a model in my life.

So I've painted my first metal model and the paint as already begun to chip just from me transporting it from my friends house to mine. Normally I seal my models using testors dullcote but this guy being mostly mettalic I'm afraid it will kill off his shine.

How can I seal him properly to use in regular play without hurting my paintjob?

Did some more work on my Iron Warriors.

Painted up a spare dreadnought just to see how the scheme looks on vehicles.

>>52650173
dullcote isn't for protection it's to remove the gloss. Use a gloss coat first if you want protection. Also use a better primer and a carry case worth a damn.

>>52650100
>>52650137
Sa'acea (I believe is the name) sounds like your type of color scheme. Go for a dark bluegrey basecolor with lighter grey accents and black clothing to give a dark urban feel. To achieve this is probably base the clothing abandon black, the armor Russ grey and the accent pieces (parts of the gun, helmet stripes, etc) would be either administration grey or Celeste grey.

As far as basing goes that's actually very easy. First get your hands on some cork (you can buy this at any arts and crafts store for no more than 10$), gw technical paint called astrograntie, a drybrush, and the following paints.

Typhus corrosion
Ryza rust
Mechanicus standard, dawnsrone and administratum grey
Agrax earthshade

Also the astrogranite all over the base and let dry. Take excess sprue and cut sections of rebar and pipe from it. Prime sprue black and heavy drybrush ryza rust. Wash 2x with heavy agrax shade. Tear cork into chunks to represent rubble. Use shitty brush to paint pva (white) glue over cork to seal. Prime black or grey. Super heavy drybrush of mechanicus standard grey. Medium drybrush dawnstone. Light wash agrax. Light drybrush administratum. Place cork on base and fit rebar into scene to make it thematic. Glue everything down. Light drybrush of ryza rust around rebar. Shade with agrax only over ryza rust. Easy urban base.

For bonus points add a brighter accent color to make everything pop, things like yellow road stripes, green puddles of poison or shell casings can really break things up
