Posting my recently finished praetor.

>>53878969
Ever think of, you know, posting a model demonstrating said effect so we can agree or disagree with you?

I want to paint Salamanders but I don't really know what colors I need to buy, preferably not a great deal too many, but I want them to look good.

I'm looking at
>Skavenblight Dinge
For flesh and armor details
>Nuln Oil
Shading the flesh and the armor
>Stormvermin Fur
Highlighting the Skavenblight Dinge parts
>Wild Rider Red
Eyes, fire designs and purity seal wax highlights
>Waaagh! Flesh
Base coat
>Warpstone Green
Armor main color
>Moot Green
Armor highlights
>Mephiston Red
Fire designs, purity seal wax, and eyes
>Fire Dragon Bright
Fire designs
>Yriel Yellow
Fire designs
>Adaddon Black
Shouldpads and backpacks
>Dwarf Bronze
The Aquila and skull details and etc
>Balthasar Gold
Highlights for above
>Gryphonne Sepia
Wash for above
>Agrax Earthshade
Shading things that aren't metallics
>Boltgun Metal
Metal details
>Runefang Steel
Highlighting above
>Babad Black
Shading metal details
>Deneb Stone
Purity seal paper
>Screaming Skull White
Purity seal highlights

Does that look like a good list of colors to buy?
Should I cut any from that list? Like any redundant or unneeded colors or is that a good selection to go with?

Anyone used the death guard green spray? How did it go on? Easy like chaos black or fucky like corax white?

1). Hide a small Bluetooth speaker inside it
2). Wirelessly connect your music player to the speaker
3). ROKK!

I'm thinking about kitbashing a model for Miriael Sabathiel. How should I go about doing this? I was thinking about using a sister of silence for the base model, but I'm not sure how to get the other details right (namely the head, tongue, and sword). Pic related is the image I'm using for primary inspiration since I think its her only canon image, but I'm looking at her TTS art for ideas as well.

I think one of celestines little goons or a canoness veridyan would be a better base than a sister of silence, though sisters of silence are cheaper and easier to get. And the other sisters could be modeled to be a little retinue for her. wych elves no doubt from age of sigmar for the head. ive been thinking of doing something similar myself desu

Is that a camo pattern? It really looks like misapplied highlights. I dig the pose.

>>53880307
I see progress, the cloak on the Skitarius is noticeably smoother. Keep painting and improving. I think you really improve your paintjob by neaten up your highlights.

>>53880193
Definite improvement! Neaten up those highlights and get that base done.

>>53880110
Not the guy you replied to but a lot of white paints go on very chalky unless extremely well-shaken. I tend to mix in a drop of 1 part flow-aid 20 parts water to help make sure it goes on smooth.

checkout this gem I just bought /tg/ I can't wait to clip it out and assemble it!

>>53881543

The Mk IV head and Primaris head look almost identical.

>>53881535
Yeah, I was referencing mostly those three, but also looking at other videos, I was asking mostly for advice on buying paint and such more than specific colors, as I've never done anything of the sort.

Is that a good amount of paint to be buying or is it too much? It kind of seems like a huge amount of colors to buy all at once.

>>53881765
I mean honestly you could probably get away with just a few...

If you do all your marines with helmets on and forgo the flames you could just use the 4 paints from the Armour video. Then basically all you need to do is base them, paint the lens, and the bolter.

Then if you want to go back and add the flames latter you can buy those paints at that time. WHenever you decide you want to start doing skin, you can invest in those paints at that time. Etc.

>>53880662
>phone posters
>800x600 monitors
why should we care about these """people""" again?

>>53881543
If you put mk7 heads on Primaris bodies you aren't making truescale marines, you're making a Primaris who wears a mk7 helmet. There are canon examples of that happening.

>>53881713
>Mk IV
no i mean the normal tactical squad 40k space marine head

>>53882115

Shouldn't the monitor resize the image regardless of how large it is to fit your resolution perfectly? Pixel dimensions of a photo is irrelevant. A shitty 10 MB poorly shot uncropped image is still going to be stupid regardless of how many pixels it is.

Any suggestions on how to make vials and tubing look more like glass/plastic?

Thinking maybe if I thin blood for the blood god.. not sure how that would work out

>>53881312
>>53881290
I think overall you just need to go back in and paint in some accents. Like the cables on the weapons and so on. Red would look good, and more yellow.

>>53881141
>Is the gravis gunfist a valid wargear for LTs?

Not in the current roolz, no. A Primaris Lieutenant comes with a master-crafted auto-bolt rifle, a bolt pistol, frag grenades, and krak grenades. He may replace the rifle with a power sword.

Dark Imperium comes with one of each model, assuming you are going to build them as-is, and are not interested in converting.

>>53882192
Paint them half-filled with colour and the upper half black to simulate empty space in it. You can put some bubbles in the bottom half to help with the illusion.

>>53882329
It will fit fine, the helmets are the same scale but my point still stands. You aren't making truescale marines you're just making Primaris with old helmets. It's mentioned in Dark Imperium that some of the Primaris like the older helmets and wear them.

Decided to get better by painting some metal Eldar I got off Ebay. What's a good way to do the Alaitoc dappling effect? I'm getting decent results with very watery blots of increasingly lighter patches.
And how should I do the rest of the cannon? I was thinking bone on everything except bright orange nozzle in honor of 2ed

I run an imperial guard army and would like to have a few space marines for display since theyre such a big part of 40k to stand amoung my guard.

These are 30k legionaries, pre-Codex Astartes. They didn't necessarily wear skull helmets back then but I'm less sure on the black. The only example I know is an Emperor's Children chaplain who wore purple-and-black instead of the usual purple-and-gold. Word Bearers chaplains just wore the red of their legion too.

I think so. I think fire looks best when it doesn't stray too much from orange/yellow.

Either way in my opinion sculpted fire almost never is done right, because you are essentially modelling a transparent gas into a opaque solid, so most times it's going to look a bit goofy anyway.

Starting with Third Edition, every Space Marine kit up into 7th Edition came with a sheet like this. Ask around; your Space Marine friends who *don't* play Crimson Fists should be able to supply you with their spares.

I think I actually have one of those. Still, only 5 transfers out of the 22 I need. I guess ebay might have something.

An apothecary dreadnought would probably make use of mechadendrites and servo-skulls to do its work. So a bunch of auxiliary cables and shit with knives, saws and syringes.

The actual power fist should be largely unchanged, if only because it still serves some (emergency) function as a jaws of life for marines trapped inside vehicles or debris.

Reaper isn't totally shit. They come pre-mixed with a thinning agent so you can paint straight from the bottle. They get decent coverage, too. But the thickness is hit or miss. Some paints you can get a really nice even basecoat in one coat, and others you need to do three+ coats to get an even basecoat. The pre-thinned paints have spoiled me, for sure.

Single coat of Bolt Gun Metal
Coat of 50/50 Badab Black/Devlin Mud (or wonder wash as I call it)
Coat of Nihilakh Oxide
Light coat of Typhus Corrosion (making sure to leave the oxide visible in places)
VERY light dry brush of Ryza Rust to add a bit of colour.

I was impressed by how fast and easy it was to do! Its basically just; paint the metal like its new, then work it down with washes.

Rest of the model is just base colour wash. I don't go in for the whole highlighting thing, I prefer my stuff dark and dirty.

My Shadow War Kill Team leader. Might redo the visor slit.

>>53890163

All of the above.

But grab 2 boxes of Skitarii + the start collecting.

This will give you enough Skitarii for 2 squads of vanguard and 1 of Rangers.

Build 1 Vanguard Squad with Arcs, 1 with Plasma Calivers and the Rangers with the Compensator guns.

Those Rangers should find a place to camp, and snipe the enemy general all day.

Build your Onegar as an Icarus, because its the new rape engine this edition for us.

Bam 700pt army for you right there. You can easily add a few technowatsits (technical term) to get up to 750. Just remember to keep the basic gun on your Alphas, no reason to loose efficiency.

Have your techpriest babysit the Onegar. Vanguard move up next to it. Rangers sit on an objective providing covering fire.

Should be a pretty good list.

After that add anything you want; its a good core to start from.

Good luck Machine Brother. Praise the Omnissiah

How did you do the camo on the Scion?

I'm too retarded to thin my paints properly. I can't find any middle ground between "basically a wash that covers nothing" and "obviously too thick as soon as it hits the model". I can't tell what Duncan is doing that I'm not. I've also tried a wet palette, and I've tried thinner instead of water, but the result is much the same.

Can you help me or do I just need to practise and git gud?

>>53892570
>Can you help me or do I just need to practise and git gud?
You need to find the place between too watery and too thick.
That's all there is to it, but you need to do that yourself. Nobody else, especially through the internet can look at your pallette and say when the consistency is good.

It's a basic skill you need to improve your painting anyway.
Just keep trying.

>>53892570
Here's the trick, anon:
Put less paint on your brush. When you thin the paint on your palette, you need to wipe some amount of paint off onto the palette so that your brush is slightly moist. Then, you'll be able to paint thin coats with thicker paint, giving you coverage while not destroying detail.

Ayup lads, it's me again. Bit of a smaller update today - I've been busy tidying up the workspace and making everything a bit more efficient. Picked up DI at my FLGS yesterday, along with some other neato stuff. I absolutely love the look of the Foetid Drone, and I've dug through some bits that I'll use to make this little beastie into something more Tzeentchian. The basic concept is simple - removing boils, repairing rust getting rid of Nurgle iconography as always, and replacing the tusks. I've attached some extra cables and tubing for visual variety, and some bits from the Burning Chariot of Tzeentch. I'm going to remake the plaguespitters into flamethrowers, and the plague probe into a smaller flamer. The problem I see right now is the sculpt of the Tzeentch-bits. They're all lovely to look at from the side, but they're ever so flat once you look at the figure dead-on.

Update if anyone cares

Most highlights are done, gotta work on the weapons still

Thoughts? This anount of highlight takes an assload of time so is it even worth it?

Did you paint the head before assembling it? Some of the models (especially the captain and intercesor marines) seem like its hard to paint the head while it's attached to the model, with that armored shell covering most of it.

>Also, just bought a metal Vindicare Assassin off ebay.

Emperor's Teeth! Coincidentally, this is the last model I painted. He had been in a blister for 20+ years!

>Having never painted metal miniatures, what can I expect?

It's very similar to painting plastic, only the models are heavier (duh?).

>Will the Chaos Black Spray work with the metal?

It should work as well as it works with plastic.

>Any preparations I should do, like with resin?

That shouldn't be necessary. Do you need to strip its previous paint job?

>Can I reasonably cut off the arms and superglue them back together, to reach everything?

No. That part doesn't work the same. Come to think of it, it (usually, for me, anyway) doesn't work with plastic, either. Depending on which version of the Vindicare you got (there were two sculpts), the right arm with the long rifle might be a separate bit anyway.

>>53895098
I almost never paint a model in parts except for a couple cases

if the head is skin, then i airbrush it
If the head is a light color, then I airbrush it
vehicles

I find most of the time you just spend time painting areas that you otherwise will not see when fully assembled

I do plan to pain the bare sergeant heads seperatly however.

>>53894588
simplest answer would be to heat/twist the flames, maybe add some extra bulk with GS afterwards

It's actually the same as in your picture.
In the pictures he's just the bare metal figure, but according to the seller it is undercoated in black. Dunno, I'll see.
I just wanted to cut off the arm with the rifle, so I can easier paint it, and then glue it back together once done.

Thats the beauty of it its made of some molding mold.
Its called femo, I use 60& hvite, 20/20 black and silver, roll into a sosauge and twist a couple of time then roll it flatt.

>>53895699
You can paint them whatever color you want. Most are blue/green, but there've been the new chaos ones which are shown to be orange/red

>>53895053
thats damn good anon

drill that barrel though

>>53895699
you can have the plasma any color you want, I typically however choose a plasma color that is not the same color as the model

so if your green I would go with purple/blue
if you are red I would do blue/metal
if you are blue I would do green/red

ect.

You'll be happy to know that the arm with the rifle is a separate bit. The join is at the shoulder.

I hope I can take it off without ruining the model, if it's already glued on.

can confirm, metal plasma coils stay cool as a cucumber

I wish my washes turned out that good on flat power armor. Maybe I need to thin them or something.

also metal is the bitch way out, colored plasma looks fantastic when done right.

hi /tg/ wip

Quick question to the better painters here.

I use GW paints for my painting as i play mostly gw stuff and the shop is down the street from where i live. (none of this really matters though)

So as im a lazy sod and cant be bothered to go to the big darksphere in town i was wondering what all the combinations are for flesh colour. (all i use really is rakarth flesh base with reikland fleshshade or other washes depending on the effect i want)

reason is i got lots of models from other companies and id like to do them justice as they are mostly for collection (and maybe boardgames like silver tower when not playing at the local gw shop)

thank you in advance great denizens of /tg/

>>53896115
Stay mad osl kid. Light effects on that scale always looks comically bad no matter how good it is done. The best way is to make the coils metallic to represent them in standby mode.

>>53896133
Answer is vallejo, only thing gw paints are good at is washes and metallics.

never mentioned osl, i meen a dark blue coat, with soft blue highlights working up to almost white, washed with blue, its how gw painters do it and it looks fantastic

>>53896198
I'll give you washes and technicals but
>metallics
Vallejo model air metallics beat up GW metallics and fuck its girl. They're on a whole different level.

Hey /wip/! I don't like posting models often, but I intend to embark on a new army crusade and figure you conversion-loving psychopaths might be a big help.

Here's the plan: make an army of imperial knights and their household retainers.

I'm not sure exactly what the list will be (probably either use the rules of guardsmen, Skitarii, scions, or something) but the interesting part to me will be converting models to look both baroque and futuristic, as befits Knights.

Current ideas:
>mix freeguild with Skitarii guns
>or Ironsides, they're kickass.
>that's it

Please send help, it sounds really fun but I have no idea what I'm doing

>>53896269
ya their new metal color is insane, though a little pricey.

Are you going to tell me this doesn't look great?

>>53896310
I came. tell me how it is done.

>>53896176
nobody talked about making the reflection,just paint the glow in the coils.

>>53896322
I'm afraid it's not mine. You'll have to go on a pilgrimage to find the creator.

>>53896310
I've always wondered how to do that.

Is it just white on the glowing edges with a light to dark blue on the middle? Or is there actually light?

If I wasn't on no fap I'd be vigorously going off to this, 11/10 to whoever did it

>>53896364
its just shading with lights

i used to do this, thing is it takes forever to do since you need to build up the color slowly.

>>53896322
edge highlighting

if you meant the bright white coils specifically, it's mostly a trick caused by the way the model is being photographed. Whoever took the image has a light source real close to the figure, which is causing that overexposure.
It would look considerably different in person.

>>53896251

>>53896176
Doesnt matter still looks bad.

>>53896310
When you take the model in your hand and look at it from different angles you will notice how bad it will look irl and it only looks good from one angle.

>>53895995
>some self-made pseudo sculpts cast in resin

Nah, I'll just buy a couple metal squads from ebay, they're cheap anyway.

wrong though
>>53896310
look at the lower parts of the light, near the end of the gun, that's how this effect really looks like, the paintjob here sin't even that good, that effect is impossible even for a propainter, that white glows way too much. It's shopped or the photo was made under an absurd light.Or somethign else maybe, definitely not a normal paint though.

>>53896283
Freeguild guys with Skitarii guns would be pretty cool lookin. Maybe find some Sallets and kettlehelms from 3rd party bitz makers or something.

This is a metal model, right? When you're stripping it, if you use strong enough chemicals, they'll eat the glue for you. You really have nothing to worry about.

>>53896591
If my paints were as thin as the holy saint, I wouldn't be posting here.
Though seeing his twitter is in part what pushed me to do it.

>>53896640
Cool, I like that idea. Kettlehelms mixed in with those pimpim feather hats would look awesome.

Know anywhere to find good ones?

>>53896749
What kind of glue should you use to hold metal models together?
