/WIP/ Thread - Well someone needed to make a new one eddition

Oh, there is one, my bad. Repostan then.

Slightly weird painting question: a lot of things lose colour if you leave them in the sun, but does anyone know whether sunlight fades miniature paint? Got a load of models on my painting desk, which gets natural light, but not sure if I should be putting them away. They do tend to stay there a while due to the whole "backlog" problem.

For what it's worth, I use GW paint, but I guess this is worth asking generally as well.

What to do for the things that go off the sides? I can't decide. My craftworld is Altaioc, so I kind of want to incorporate yellows, but I think it'd just make it too busy. Probably going with a red for the cockpit windows though.

you can paint the bone colored panel on the wings yellow if you want to make it alaitoc

also what diameter of magnet do you use for crisis suit ?

It's the idiot doing the Stormbird Whale project here. The parts have arrived and look pretty good, pic related is the base model with my first ever model for scale (I refuse to repaint him and his squad). First order of business is to mask up and then sand the paint on the whale a bit to give the Greenstuff and superglue a key.

Planning on three Stormraven engines on the tail to drive the thing, or possibly one on the tail and one in the middle of each side. Going to take some chopping to get the Sector Mechanicus door and walkways down to the proper size.

Does anyone have any ideas for the weaponry? Needs two TL Lascannon and and a TL Hbolter per side, plus a missile battery somewhere. Was planning on putting one TLHBolter above each door and using the Ironstrider lascannon built into greenstuff "blisters" on the side.

>>53559534

I am not one to hate on Citadel colors at all they work fine but there are multible paint lines that cater to historical scale modellers directly made by Vallejo, MIG or AK interactive for example trying to match real world camp colors as close as possible . There sure are others too you might wanna look around.

Here's an ork name generator.
There is also a list of Ork names in Da Uvver Book from GorkaMorka, the pdf version GW released a few years back only has the rules though.
I could take a pic of that, if you want it, but I only have the German version of the book. I don't know how much they changed, but I'm pretty sure they added a few German gretchin names that were funny to them.

The German Ork stuff was translated with a lot of love back then, they localized a lot of the slang, which in some way is still more funny to me in German.
The Shock Attack Gun is called Snotzogga in German for example.
Anyway, if you find a scanned version of the book you be able to find the unaltered version.

There is another scheme in the 3rd edition dex with color splashed over the skin parts.

Take a look at poison frogs, tropical fish, or bugs for inspiration though.
Nature is the best resource for trippy color combinations.

This color scheme is based on a mantis shrimp for example.

The cab is all plasticard, the guns are taken from the Amazing Zaku model kit, and the truck bed covering is the old napkin and glue trick on some spare sprue. It came out a little scalier than I was expecting, so I'm painting it as squig hide.

It's from Waarg Da Orks. That book and 'Ere We Go are basically the Ork fluff bibles.
A lot fluff in later books is basically taken 1:1 from there.
It has a few obsolete parts like sexual reproduction, but overall it's pretty much a must have/read for ork players, imo.

You should be able to find it in the 40k generals mega archive.

Games day 2007 mini

Could you mount a heavy weapon on a Thunderwolf's back, with a Guardsman companion, to make an Aett Guard heavy weapon team?

How could you make this look right for things like Mortars that can't just fire forwards?

>>53561828
i want to say they were a games day edition model. but i'm not entirely sure

>>53562336
An easy thing would be to very lightly drybrush some of the edges with a silver to look like the paint's being worn off their armor and equipment. You've gotta be very sparing with it though or it'll be too much and look retarded.

Finished my first painted mini ever today. Decided to do practice on these before I start painting my 40k minis just to get a feel for what I should do and such.

Need to work on my detailing and how much I thin my paints but I think it came out pretty alright.

>>53559560
I used 1/16" diameter x 1/32" height. worked really well and was super easy to do.

>>53562586
First of all I think this is a horrendous idea and Thunderwolfs are the worst thing that happened to 40k short of the Santa Sleigh and Primaris marines.
That said you can do whatever you want, so here's my input if you want it;
>Could you mount a heavy weapon on a Thunderwolf's back, with a Guardsman companion, to make an Aett Guard heavy weapon team?
I'd look into how the Kroot longrifles are mounted on the Krootox. I could see that working.
>How could you make this look right for things like Mortars that can't just fire forwards?
For something like that I'd maybe consider putting a howda onto the wolf. Might not make sense on the ones with super dynamic poses, but seems the most sensible way to approach that specific kind of weapon.

The Lizardmen range has a bunch of models/warmachines that really do that well too.

If you get some gun shields from anvil industries you could even dress the whole thing up nicely.

I'll say though that mounting a mortar on something seems a bit counter intuitive to me.
It's long range indirect fire support. Under normal circumstances they shouldn't have to move much and an operator I'd hate to have to redo my math on the fly all the time.

For the other weapons that makes more sense since they'll be deployed in direct LoS of the enemy gunline basically.

>>53562002
Rip

>>53562944
>Need to work on my detailing and how much I thin my paints but I think it came out pretty alright.
For your first mini, it's surprisingly clean actually.

If you clean up a few things like the flesh on the cloth next to his face, add some shading with a wash and a highlight here and there you could go from what you have to a pretty reasonable table top standard.

>8th
>Remember I traded for a ton of Marines a few years ago then closeted them in case I ever wanted to do Marines
>Have Marines & Sisters, both armies I want to do in 8th
>Sisters have paint stuck in every crevice so to much effort to paint up an army in 2 weeks

>Try 5 different brands of glue

SOMEHOW THE FUCKING CHEMICAL MAKEUP OF THESE GOD DAMNED TERMINATORS HAS BEEN ALTERED TO WHERE THEY WILL NOT GLUE EVEN WITH A WASH.

That is why they were re-assembled with Elmers glue. It's the only thing that will work. My only other option is to shave-down every surface -AND- pin everything just to be sure. because initial tests show that the surface only starts becoming glue-able after to much is shaved. Which means putting the torsos back together is FUCKED and they need to be pinned.

>>53564124
>Can I just throw a piece of plasticard in between their legs and torsos?
That's make their midriff longer. They'll still have stumpy legs.

The, imo, easiest way to get an actual truescale marine out of a tactical without using other bits is to insert a few mm of plasticcard in the shins.
Cut those in half, add ~3mm of height and use putty and sandpaper to smooth it out again.

Next best thing would be to use termie legs, but those are a bit buffer, so you'd either have to fill in the exoskeleton part on their tights and back of the legs or work something else out, like buying tartaros pattern legs.

Adding to the legs is kind of the best way to do it, cause a regular tactical has arms that are actually way too long. So by lengthening the shins you are basically just correcting their proportions.

>>53564196
>>53564217
Pretty decent for a first shot at fabric, honestly. Way better than my first attempt.
Contrast's a bit high for my liking, though. Did you use a wash? If not, maybe hit it with a brown or something. It should blend the highlights and shadows together a bit more and make the overall effect nicer.

I didn't even collect IG at the time.

>>53564431
So that particular skin is Vallejo French Blue and Electric Blue going to Wolf Grey shot from an airbrush. I then gloss varnish the model and shade with a Drakenhof Nightshade before respraying the last two layers of the gradient. The tips of the tentacles and muscles get a hit with a brush using thinned electric blue just to help on anything that needs a bit more punch.

I know I really should fully highlight each muscle independently, but there are just so many to do, I needed an economical method so I don't go crazy.

>>53564565
ah, i dont have an airbrush so i guess i'll jsut stick to what i do now.

Painting my very first model ever. How do I not suck at reikland fleshshade? The GW tv youtube says "be liberal", I was, and it's bad. It filled in and highlighted things like it was supposed to, but I guess I put too much down and it has created a secondary effect on top of another layer coat.

Do I just use less?

>>53564886
Do you mean that it changed the colour of the raised bits as well? If so that is normal. It is paint after all.

You will have to paint back over the raised areas again with whatever colour you want them to be. Make sure it is nice and thin, and take your time.

>>53564937
Thanks. Should I just use a thinner layer to being with?

>>53564946
It's more that it has sort of settled into this pattern on top of the layer of other paint, like it pooled and dried. It looks kind of neat, especially on the pants/shirt area where it sort of looked weather beaten, but I'm not sure if that's intended. On the video I watched, it just sort of darkened the whole model.

>>53564884
moon rocks it is! I'll edge highlight and make a nice purple base- where can I get vegetation that is alien looking though? Thanks for the awesome pointers too!

>>53565042
oh, those are just tidemarks which happen with shades in general. that's normal! just layer over the flat raised areas and you'll be fine.

>>53565042
It most likely pooled a bit then. You just need to keep an eye on how much you use, and how it rests when you apply it.

Don't apply it straight from the bottle, put a bit on a palette first so you can more easily control how much you have, then apply it, and if you see anything pooling where it shouldn't be, just take some off with your brush.

Also, did you think it down with water by chance? Washes can sometimes go a bit streaky if you thin it with water, and in most cases you shouldn't be thinning them anyway.
If you do want to thin them for a softer effect, then use Lahmian Medium

probably blacks and browns, goff stuff.

>>53566237

>>53561483
I really like it. Only critique is the metallics need a bit of contrast. The wear and tear on the rest is really nice without being overboard.

Dark Green = Castellan Green (maybe after a wash of Athonion Camoshade ...)
Light Green = Elysian Green
Brown = Balor Brown

Paint the centers of the bogie wheels with Evil Sunz Scarlet!

plastic aquarium plants look suitably bizzare at that scale - just make sure to paint them as well (nothing worse than neon green shiny shit getting in the way of your nice model). moderation is key

Anyone got a good tutorial for black armor? I've watched painting buddha and next level. I don't understand how buddha finds where all the lights should hit and highlight.

panzer kop is almost done, also finally attached the arms to the nob (who is going to be demoted to boy once I get another mode because I really hate the boyz box nob model and wish it was more like the fantasy big un)


started putting coats on three models, to very mixed results, think I did alright with the rusty stuff but no so much with the rest

How do you guys jump straight in to getting models turned out in an hour or two? I feel like I'm the only one that takes 5-6 hours to get one basic infantryman done, and with how much (or little) time I have to paint I'm looking at years to even get one army done to 2000...

Here be my lord aquilor, freshly assembled. I'm currently doing Stonecast eternals as my army theme. Everyone so far is kinda spooky and haunted, but I feel like the heroes deserve a great deal more detail and love.

Here's my question for /tg/: what would you do to make this guy a headless horseman sort of fellow? Obviously the headless bit, but colour wise?

I'm thinking of turning the feathers in to flame, as if the gryph charger was a hellish steed. It will be black, but I'm trying f to decide on regular red flames or something more blue/green/teal.

Thoughts?

>>53568795
Okay cool. I'm not criticising your ability, I just think it would look better if the gradient on the side of his hood went in the opposite direction.

>>53568977
I dont remember, but a few youtubers use grey and mentioned that black can be difficult to cover with certain colors.

>>53569005

Have you tried washing them with simple dish liquid?

>>53569925
The scales are just the texture from the paper towel, you ever see the cheap kind with hexagons? Use watered down PVA, and just drape it over the sprues, then maybe one more layer or a matt varnish, then go to town dry brushing it.

>>53564407

bump, da guyz are already primed, more comming soon!

>>53570239
Their metal select is really varied, they've got some nice colors that GW and Vallejo don't, plus the paint sticks a little easier, but its much thicker. Plus, they just look much better in my opinion, vallejo just looks like glitter paint and GW is decent.

Pigment is a lot different, first you wanna either have alcohol or varnish, then you apply a little alcohol where you want the pigment, then you blend the pigment into the alcohol or varnish, and seal it after. Once you learn how to do it you can get some really cool dirt effects or rust.

>>53570052
New GW metallics like Retributor Armour, Stormhost Silver and Liberator Gold are goddamn amazing though. I've been painting my Sons with them and I don't think I've ever used better golds.

>>53569961
Awesome cheers, I'll give it a try

>>53570319
I have rettibutor but haven't used it yet.

Leadbelcher is always to thick or too thin, I can't find it's sweet spot

Auric armor looks like yellow milk , even after shaking it for 30 secs it separates in a few mins

Runefang usually works for me
Warplock bronze and brass scorpion are great
>>53570286
I just watched a youtube video where the guy used lahmian medium to seal it in. Secret weapon also sells a fixer, could I use that? I'm thinking I want my guys to be less "left in the rain all day" and more "centuries of non stop warfare"

>>53570381
yea you could totally use that, I've even used vallejo's glaze medium to seal it before.

>>53570381

I hated Auric Armour it was complete shit. I bought Liberator Gold, it's thinner, covers better, and looks like real pale gold instead of Auric Armour's bright yellow glitter.

It still separates just as fast though.

>>53569662
that yellow is really nice! how'd you get it?

>>53567453
flick a wet brush across it as last step when the green is still soft.
be careful to use the tip of the brush, because using the bristles closer to the ferrule is sometimes enough force to make a dent in a blob of fresh green.

Maybe do a light wash around the folds in the cloak. Also maybe a wash around the areas of shadow like under the armpits and near the hips.

Good thing about Orange is you can wash it with brown wash, sepia wash, or red wash.

Pic related is my grubby Ryza.

Alright anon, where do Space Marine company markings usually go? The kneepad, right?

>>53576426
Depends on the chapter. Consult the relevant Codex.

DA do knees, Smurfs and Codex compliants do pauldron rim colour. I think BA do squad marking colours?

>>53576519
Well, good thing I haven't painted the pauldrons yet. Thanks anon.

What should i use to make a really thing vertical line?
I need this to make eyes on helbrute's armour look decent but also some of my custom stuff.

>>53567516
Thanks for the words of encouragement! I just started painting a few months ago and I'm terrified that my paint jobs will turn out horrible

>>53576802
artist marker, apply ardcoat

>>53576802
I would make use of negative space. Lay down a block of whatever color you're using for the thin lines, then paint something darker in the spaces between where the lines are going.

probably a noob question but where can i get the metal rods like that and how do i attach them to my models

>>53577169
so you have like that plate to which models are defaultly merged into right? after you cut it there's mold lines, he just cut them much longer and primed them

Got the wannabe chimera bit further. Test fitted the turret also, not sure if I should make the turret pic related or remove the gunholder thingy.

>>53577424
Why didn't you just go for an M113 model at this point?

>>53573128
i have always just mixed red and white to make darker shade of pink and then drybrushed lighter on top, didnt find the shade of pink i wanted at the time and cant change it now after 9000pts

dimachaeron is finished to my liking now as well, tomorrow morning back to work with the unpainted ones like everyone else.

girl player out thank you everyone

>>53562310
well, aren't the Ultramarines kinda the default/vanilla version?
and after all, they are pictured in the Dark Imperium set.

>>53578088
I've never played a game against Nids. Why are women drawn to them so consistently?

>>53578390
well, like this anon>>53572702 already said, it could be the tentacle monster appearence of Nid's
I also read on /tg/ once, that Nid's have the most female sounding names in their armies
my theory is, they find them cute

>>53578390
Probably has the smallest "testosterone overload" feel of all the armies in the game, with perhaps the exception of the Harlequins.

>>53578390
I think because they look like the inside of their vaginas

good drypaints for brass and red on guardsmen? making a khorne force of space romans, need quick highlight colours for infantry

pic unrelated, just like that one for heretics

>>53578507
I honestly forgot what thread I was in since I'm jumping back and forth repeatedly between threads.

To stay more on topic, when does one choose to use drybrush as opposed to edge highlighting? I know how to do both but I'm still not sure which one to use in which situation

>>53578569
if you are that blue nid dude from before i still dont get what do you mean by edge highlighting.
i would imagine you paint the edges with fine brush like with nid carapaces or painting black armour.
what are you painting

sorry im halfway trough bottle of vodka

>>53578635
Not the blue nid guy, just trying to get a better grasp on what materials get drybrush and what doesn't. I use drybrushing on my monsters and it looks great but would I drybrush a priest's robes or something?

Drink responsibly anon

>>53578390
Women want babies.

>>53578704
but those kinds of babies???

>>53577424
can you put a guardsman next to it for size?

>>53578674
alrighty then
i do use drybrush for some robes and capes but just for the final careful highlight layer, i recommend learning blending. drybrushing even surfaces like capes leaves them pretty grainy.
will do, cheers

>>53578390

Because they are imbeciles who think tyranids are hentai monster and find bio-engineered horrors that will make any man shudder in fear cute.

>The devourer is a conical lump of partly rotted flesh, infested by writhing Flesh-worms, parasites with black, shiny heads. When the weapon is triggered, a bio-electric jolt hurls a shower of these creatures at the enemy, where they immediately start burrowing into the flesh, eating their way through the victim's nervous system towards the brain. The agony caused by this process is enough to drive the victim insane.

I hope every girl who thinks tyranids are cute get shot by these.

>>53578390
>>53578447
I could see that.
The hero worship aspect of most fluff is kind of reminiscent of war propaganda for the most part.

>>53578088
>to my knowledge and i do speak for the whole board only girls play nids.
well to my knowledge that's a load of horsecrap

>>53578088
I like your paint jobs, but why do you feel the need to call attention to the fact that you're a girl?

>>53578820
I'm into vore so tyranids have always been hot to me

>>53578827
Holy fuck thank you, finally someone else realizes that everyone who is talked up in 40k is talked up because of imperial propaganda. God damn I get sick of faggots who know nothing about the setting shit all over it by calling everything Mary Sues when in reality they are just hyped up because propaganda is an integral part of 40ks general theme

>>53579097
perhaps you can remove the wheels or the top half of the wheels to lower the tracks and the profile. You need a gun on the hull and a low profile turret

>>53579136
Looks decent as a chimera

I'd defintely want to play against it
