Well I finished up a Shadow War Armageddon Inquisition kill team. Now that 8th is out I was thinking about expanding it out to a full army.

I looked up the rules and I can take Crusader squads to get storm shields, but they can only have Power Swords. I threw this guy together with a skitarii taser as a counts as, since I don't like the idea of riot police with swords, even in 40k. The Acolyte squads can have most of the special weapons and pistols and close combat weapons, I'm not sure how I want to outfit them. Flamers seem cool, meltaguns and plasma too.

Thanks, they're from all over. The arms and legs are Scions, the torsos are Scions and regular guard, the pauldrons are Sisters of Silence, heads are Skitarii, shields are Custodes, Mauls are Genestealer Cult and Skitarii.

Also man, buying that many SoS shoulders has got to add up. It looks great but geez.

how the hell do i highlight this wip?

painted this years ago but never finished it.

I'm bad at highlights anyways

>>53631707
usually when people do camo patterns they undershade the model and the camo splotches are done with very transparent layers. but for that thing idk it's gonna be a lot of differnt paints

You better be having a special custom game scenario for it where it summons daemons throughout the game, or I will be really pissed.

But honestly, a stellar fucking job, I'm loving every bit of it.

>>53631760
basically how it works in your case is that if the base color is green, you do all the highlights and shadows on the green layer and all the sucessive camo colors will be transparent so the highlights and shadows show through on the new colors.

>>53631791
hmm i might try it out. this was only a one off. most of my other vehicles have a much broader camo scheme so its not to hard. I just wanted to try digital camo.

now i realize that may have been a lot of work for not much payoff since it looks so flat from a distance

>>53631159
I can't believe how hard my cock is right now, thank you anon. Seriously though, that looks fucking epic as hell.
Brings back the memories of 3rd and 4th edition CSM, you could actually field a rhino like this back then.

>>53631159
Brilliant! Did the little mausoleum need any conversion work or did it easily just sit straight on top of the rhino? I might borrow this idea for a Black Templar Chaplain rhino

>>53631771
Dont worry anon its almost 75 points now :D

>>53632118
It's indeed no longer a Garden of Morr, but this version is larger (double the sprues I believe).

For painting Thousand Sons, should I spray them blue then brushpaint the gold, or vice versa?

>>53632161
It's probably easier to start with Blue and pick out the raised areas in gold than trying to fill in the areas between the gold with blue.

Seriously dude, I have no idea what you are getting at.

I first assumed you meant goblins from WHFB, but the only orange flavor of gobbos from there were firegoblins that were mentioned only once in a WD article about different goblin tribes.

>>53632161
I've tried what Duncan recommended, gold and then blue onto the flat panels and such, so much easier than the other way around. As long as you're a little careful it makes the job much less difficult.

Sup guys, maybe you can give me some ideas for this.

I am looking for something to use as subtle cheap display bases for my showcase stuff.

It should be round, about 35mm diameter and no more than 30mm in height.

Something along the lines of pic related, but I need it solid and smooth, preferably wood or plastic.

Any ideas?

give him a nuln oil wash matey, looks decent for a first model though.

>>53632919
As long as you had fun, that's all that matters Anon. From what I can tell your lines aren't too messy. Just work on brush control and picking up techniques and you'll be good.

I just bought my first airbrush.

What kind of water should I be putting through it? I'm guessing tap water generally has too much calcium and crap which will clog the workings. Do I need to buy de-ionised water or will a britta filter do the trick?

>>53633123

yea just use some Voss water and in a sprinkling of activated almonds

If you're using water, yes, distilled only (you're correct, calcium & whatever else is floating around in tapwater is bad in the long run). You're not limited to water though; I've heard of people using wimdshield wiper fluid (which is essentially grain alcohol).

Thanks a lot guys. It was my second Word Bearer vehicle and a blast to work on, Im really glad you like it. It wasnt very hard to put together. Needs some greenstuff around the the chapel part and the pulpit was some cutwork, but I think the candles were the only part where you really need to "sculpt".

>>53632247
Yes I did and I think ill post some shitty pics of it later.

Is this the original metal model, or the Finecast replacement?

I would've drilled out the barrel of his bolt pistol, but I understand your reluctance to do so with such a snazzy model (being newer, it's one of the ones I don't have).

>I'm thinking of some script on the parchment, perhaps.

I use Sakura Micron pens for that kind of stuff.

i would highlight the skull a bit more. it should be the central point of focus and for that its a bit too dark and too similar to your parchment. other than that i really like it. your black looks clean and your cloth smooth. maybe the metal needs a bit of depth. a light glaze here and there could help.

May want to check the 40k general for those, I think one of the troves has a bunch of painting guides

Oh and btw ...shuld I try to get his eyes gleeming greenish?

>>53634452
A pin vise should work fine on metal models.
Assuming you have HSS drill bits, and most pin vices come with these as standard, then you're good to go to drill into metal.

>>53634440
More work on the skull is a good idea. I painted it exactly the same as the parchment, so making it more bone-like, and less papery, sounds good.
Thank you!

>>53634507
Awesome, I'm glad to hear that the vise can work on metal. Drilling, here I come!

>>53630641

What this guy >>53633943 said

>>53634452
>Can I drill metal easily? I've got a pin vice

Yes. Before you begin, take the sharp end of your hobby knife and dig out a divot in the end of the pistol's barrel. Place the tip of the bit into the divot as you drill. This will serve as a "guide" (similar to a pilot hole when you're putting screws in wood) so your drill bit won't rip the pistol to shreds.

Do not run water through your brush. Use a small amount of thinner and apply with a tooth brush. You can use a q tip but it might gunk up the resovoir. After scrubbing pour about 2 ml in the resovoir and spray to clear the needle. I use pic related. About 8 bucks but worth it.

Painting up my salvaged land raider and I'm having an issue getting rid of these brush streaks that show due to the metallic paint

I've already applied a couple thinned coats and I wanted to ask for advice on how I should proceed

Tried doing a desert base, any feedback is appreciated

>>53637939
....apply more thin coats untill the streaks disappear? As long as you keep them thin you can pretty much put however many you want on it.

Anyone want to help me out? I'm trying to figure out a paint scheme for my Dark Eldar? So far i've painted my Archon's cape a dark blue but beyond that i'm not sure where to go for the main armor color or trim maybe green?

>>53638040
Sorry dude, but those huge fucking chunks of cork never look good. Try something with half the thickness and try to fit it within the borders of your base.

>>53638118
Fair point, it was fun trying though.
Got any recommendations or ideas on stuff to try instead ?

I'd go for a classic grey trim with some blue cloth and gold accents + a bit of white for the more elite units.

>>53638308
I'm liking this, maybe i can go with green gems instead of the red. How about fur, would gray/white look alright or would it be too muted

>>53638403
If you're going for a darker armour I think gray might be to muted, personally I'd go for something like light brown.

>>53637876
I think the skin is very well done, and it's clear that you've got strong fine-motor control and a good ability to plan (or at least eyeball) color transitions

alright wip, im finally getting started on using my new citadel paints instead of tetors (i really hate those testors) and i made this head that im going to use for my iron hands primaris chapter, they are supposed to be a chapter that through warpfuckery from moving through the great rift had all their equipement aged like hundreds of years

how did i do, i didnt have any white(clearly a mistake) so i dont really like the eyes and i think i overdid the rust effect on the metal righ next to the skin

Thanks. I'm currently in need of help for the rest colour wise. I was thinking of a black armour with silver/steel trim, but now I'm thinking of a gold trim so it won't make the blade look boring.

Make friends with a Space Marine player and weasel him into trading you some of his spare plasma guns.
Buy spare Space Marine plasma guns off eBay, and arm yer ladz wiv 'em.
Go to Bartertown and try to arrange something in the bitz forum that will avail you of additional plasma guns.

I've looked at pictures of plastic scions, and this all seems very easy, but - not having any Imperial Guard plasma guns that are not metal - is there something obvious I'm missing?

Try painting the gunmetal parts with a thin coat of black before applying da Leadbelcher.

>>53641237
Have you tried cropping them? That fixes the rotating on my phone.

>>53641523
for any bare metal, go with leadbelcher, followed by a heavy nuln oil wash and once it's dry, give it an agrax wash to make it look oily and old. As for the pants, black would look nice.

WB anon here, I really like them. The idea with the halbreds is great, maybe I will steal that. You had the exact same idea as me about using the ancient chaos warrior helmets, they look so good. But in the end I decided to go for the GK ones, so you have the best of both worlds on your guys.

>>53641639
Drybrushing, my friend. VERY lightly. Do an orange one and then EVEN lighter, like barely touching the model in yellow.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oo0m5ol6P2w

>>53636847
Not saying your paintjob is shit. It just reminds me of shit. Try lightening it up a little and go for a bolder shade of brown like gothor with baneblade highlights.

>>53641809
by the way: who else is slightly shellshocked after seeing the points for the new combi-weapons. 65 points for a set of guns I will fire once, maybe twice is not very cheap.

>>53641809
I am still allowed to feel jealous over how cool your models look. Nice freehanding.

>>53638238
You may need a new needle then. What brush do you have? Diasasaemble it and soak the pieces individually.

>>53641881
that wasn't the original poster, but thank you for tips, Still not too sure what to do it with. Might experiment a different technique on another model.

do everything but gras, flock and tufts.
Stuff with fibres etc. Static grass tends to collect tiny droplets of varnish if you spray it on.
Unless you are going for a morning dew look glue all that stuff on after varnishing.

>>53643239
I really like them.

I kind of feel like they would benefit from adding some markings or army badges maybe.
You got a great opportunity with the bright paint on there.

I really want to but I get a vib that they're so massed produced and die so quickly they don't bother putting too much effort into painting it. Kinda like t34s during stalingrad. Just white paint and go
Obviously I can't make it look like that because it'd look ugly, but idk if markings would fit the theme, especially because I want a few more and have a horde of them . There's not much room for neat markings beside numbers, which I always found boring.

An army bade or a squad number always looks nice imo though.

But I have a hardon for that kind of stuff anyway.

Maybe as an alternative way of adding a bit of detail or character to each one of them a scorch mark, some scratches like they walked close to something or something along those lines might look nice.

Anyway, not trying to sell you on the idea, just throwing it out there.

I like them either way.

Maybe. Maybe not. It definitely speeds things up with far better blending/gradients. You still need to know fundamentals: thinning paints, highlights, etc etc. Because even after airbrushing you need to go in with a brush.

If you're not in a spot where you can get consistent practice, then maybe commission a local painter. Otherwise, make time to practice.

Anyone have any good links for a green stuff guide? or any quick tips? I'm trying to fill the groove in my immortals' shoulders that was left from me being bad and removing my mould line too hard.
Should I just squeeze a tiny bit in there and use a stick or something to scrape off excess?

>>53646504

Its where the neck meets the body isn't it? I worry about that, I'll need to find a way to fix it.

>>53646516
yeah, the way it is the guys neck looks like its about a foot longer than it should be.
easy fix is to just shave down the collar and the nub in such a way that they fit together smoothly, then just do whatever tiny bit of greenstuff work you need to

>>53646452
ty sir

>>53646491
Don't do pure white, do like a almost-white. Like a really light grey.

>>53646559

I appreciate the suggestion, but I kind of like it as is. The white I mean. I'd prefer it to a grey personally. Do you have any other suggestions besides changing colors entirely?

Please to be ignoring the green spikes on the boot--for some reason, points have an especially hard time holding paint and just seem to let the primer through.

>>53634481
I think a cold blue would work way better considering the color scheme

>>53646579
What you need is to shade with a non-white color, not actually change the whole color. If you don't shade you don't have volume, if you don't have volume your color looks plain.

At the very least, outline all the crevices with a dark grey or brown or pure black.

The idea is there and it's good.
The execution is not. It looks very sloppy, and not in the natural way.

>>53646908
Thanks bro, hoping by the 80th gant/gaunt the slop wont be as bad

>>53646890
Your highlights and little lines on the shells made with a technique I can't remember look too thick. Try a smaller brush. The skin would benefit from a wash and some kind of highlight

>>53646944
Thanks m8 i nees to onvest in more brushes. They were done with a standatd brush and i didn't thin the paint for the orange stripe thinkong it would make it "pop" more but ill thin it out on the next batch

>>53647004
No prob anon. Just make those lines a bit thinner, and the combination of wash and drybrush/edge highlights will really refine the look you've got going and make things pop. Looking forward to seeing your Nids pop up in a future thread

Is this the right thread for a painting pet peeve?

I've got this buddy that, whenever we're talking about what we've painted lately, will stop me mid-sentence every single time I refer to Leadbelcher as gray.
>It's metal, not gray. You need to be specific.

What the actual fuck, guy.

>>53647159
I don't think it's fair to call it grey - it's different from most grey paints - but 'metal' is so vague - could refer to gold, copper, bronze...why not silver or steel or something? Either way, if it's clear you're talking about Leadbelcher, no need for him to be so pedantic.

>>53647159
One friend we introduced to the hobby refuses to prime his models and says that he wishes he didn't have to paint the small details on models. It sucks because he has the DV Dark Angels and he shoulda just sold them.

What cancer. Why even get into the hobby if you don't like to paint?

>>53647159

You should be calling Leadbelcher silver, but only an autist would interrupt someone in a friendly conversation to make a "WELL AKSHUALLY" pedantic ass observation that does nothing to add to or further the discussion.

>>53647159
continue doing it
also start mixing up the other colours as well to fuck with him

like Chaos White, Skull Black, Macragge Green, etc

>>53647709
I'm being honest. He says he likes them better because he used to paint like, military models or something with them.

I offered my Citadel shit and my buddy offered him his 100+ army painter set for borrowing. He says the Testors is fine and that he doesn't need to prime the model because "it's primer and paint in one".

>>53644614
how do I get this white color?

>>53647736
He says he doesn't like my models because "the highlighting and shading looks artificial. Just shining a light on my model gives it highlights and shadows".

I wish I were baiting you.

From a gameplay perspective, moving into 8th has been funny, as he keeps begging my buddy, who's up to his eyes in stress because of the Tau nerfs, to basically guide him into 8e Dark Angels. Today he asked if GW got rid of the points system because all he saw were PLs.

My buddy and I can't stand the cringe factor of game stores and so only play against each other. A third person is a godsend, even if he's...difficult. I've been trying to get my girlfriend to join, but she thought that if her models were killed I'd have to actually break them, so...

Before you ask, yes, us being exiled had something to do with our incompetent friend.

Huh I'm in a similar boat then, my group of friends also has a problem guy but his problem is bitching and not understanding the rules or math. Only way around it is trying different FLGSs in your area if there is more than one. I do not recommend getting your gf involved. It's good for you each to have your own hobbies/activities and in the event you two break up, it can kill your interest in the game

That's because they're not one-use anymore.

Would there be a way to change the colour of the green plastic bars that come standard with Necrons?

I still want them to be see-through, but obviously if I can't change the colour without that then that can't be helped.

>>53641882
>>53648276
Not only are they not one-use, they can also choose to fire both modes at the same time at a -1 to hit

Combi has been buffed a lot.

>>53646279
Just prime it over the old primer. Or scrape it off with something sharp if it bothers you.
