What's with the overwhelming majority of people who play Orks using an Ork voice? I get it can sometimes be funny but when they're doing it most of the time they play or say anything related to orks it gets a bit grating. I can appreciate the occasional post with an Orky vehicle and some chatter but sometimes it's a bit much.

>>53920823
Thanks! Yeah the base is white from airbrush/primer. I haven't decided how to base them yet, so I'm gonna leave them blank until I decide.

I need a highlight color for the green. It looks dark here but irl it's actually brighter than I thought it would be, especially since the base is nearly black. I might go for a second wash of nightshade since it's supposed to be night-fighting in a swamp.

Unsure if this a plus or minus for you, but they have a very "cooked lobster" look to them because of the red and the spines/highlights. Personally, I really like it, but could use a wash maybe.

Has anyone here ever painted Mortifactors? I think I have a decent paint list ready, but I'd be interested to know the process you did the colors in.

Rattle can primers go on much much thicker than air brushed primer. It's not going to give you the same result. It sounds like you don't know what airbrushes are like and assumed a rattle can and an airbrush do the same thing when they do entirely different ends of the spectrum when it comes to paint spraying.

When painting with subassemblies should I try to mask parts so I can glue them with plastic cement, or just paint everything and use super glue?

>>53921616
try to mask them. but you could also scratch color off with a knife

>>53921276
they'd probably get the ones with Colonel Cawl's secret blend of herbs and spices (i.e. World Eater geneseed, capsacin, and grox testosterone), so they'd be as pissed, if not moreso, as their regular marine counterparts. I imagine that if the AM tried fucking with their new meat, someone would GET A FUCKING BOLT RIFLE BROKEN OFF IN THEIR FAGGOT ASS.

The thought was a shallow pond of sorts that you'd find within a cave. Naturally the water would be pretty clear from underground filtration but I was considering adding some moss on other parts of the diorama, so I could also go for a stagnant pool of water too.

I dunno, the indecision has ground my progress on the piece to a complete stop and I'm dying to move forward but I just don't know how I want to go about it

>>53923350
>Should I do black or brown holsters and satchels?

While black and brown are neutral colors, brown is slightly "warmer" than black. While black contrasts a but more with the shade of red you have picked.

So, do brown if you want something that "fades in" with the red you have chosen, or do black if you want something that "stands out" from the red.

If you still can't make up your mind, my vote is for brown. But that's just my own subjective tastes.

>>53923375

Looks solid, but I can't quite put my finger on it, it needs something to sharpen it up. Another contrasting colour or a brighter fine edge highlight. If you want to take it further.

>>53923483
Man you need to get an imagination.

I've got a few mortar squads in my IG army. So yeah, mortar shells can have a story around them. Like the squad needs to capture the mortar dump to secure more ammo for the campaign.

It's funny you brought up the mortars because I was actually pretty excited to set up my mortar teams next to them in a game.

>The unfired mortars from the Cadian 8th
legend has it that because a single guardsman chose to flee the battle instead of running the orders to a mortar battery to fire on the incoming chaos vanguard rather than redeploying, the battle was lost, and the loss of the battle contributed to the loss of the war.
you could say that those pristine mortars represent the loss of Cadia due to a guardsmans cowardice.

let these holy relics of condemnnation spur you ever onward towards greater courage and glory, guardsman.

I think the same. I think adding some small patches of dark-brown, then metal, then a mix of really bright orange and Lahmian medium. dunno if it'd look too bright in the end though.

>>53923690

Yeah maybe take a brighter yellow, or orange to just highlight tips of the armour plates just to add definition.

>>53924036
Actually its called hair spray technique. There is plenty of tutorials on Youtube.
First you paint the rust color on the whole model. Then you give several hairspray coats. After, you paint the armor in the normal way. And finally with a toothpick or a hard brush soaked in alcohol you remove the paint of the armor leaving the rust under showing(wich is protected by the hair spray)

More progress, just have the backpack left. Finished the shoulder pads and it took me much longer than I wanted it to. It's hard to tell cause of the picture quality but I severely underestimated the difficulty involved when painting directional highlights on such a round surface and have it look good. Also didn't know if I should go with a gold or black trim. Obviously I went with gold and I think it was a good choice. I'm open to critiques.

>>53924443
Me neither

>>53924495
Gold works anon.
But why are you taking all this care painting a marinelet?

>>53924552
Because I enjoy painting my minis more than I do playing the game. Also because this is my first time glazing on highlights and I wanted to see if I would like it (So far, yes.)

I know it takes an insane amount of time to do, but I am hoping with practice I will become faster. A goal of mine is to become good enough that I can do commissions during my layoff season.

>>53924346
That color scheme is atrocious.

If you really, really REALLY want to use red, yellow and blue at the same time, choose one to be the dominant color, and use the other two sparingly.

Or choose two that complement well and remove the third one.

Does the ravenwing bits set come with a transfer sheet?

Gw used to sell a DA transfer sheet but now they don't and I'm worried that I will have to freehand stuff like the book on sableclaw.

I combined the flames to make them less flat, removed the proboscis and made it into a flame-spouting trailing limb instead, opting for a gout of flame coming directly out of the mouthpiece.

Painting noob here, how many thin coats is too many thin coats?

I've heard you should apply coats until the whole surface looks smooth (normally 2 for units and 3/4 for large panels) and so that it doesn't look painted, but that's a little vague.

For reference, this is 2 coats of just Deathworld Forest. (Well, Chaos Black>Leadbelcher>Deathworld x2).

Yeah since these are my first models being painted, I wasn't exactly sure on how to take care of them prior to painting.

I didn't take all of the nubs completely off (Should know better considering I'm coming from GunPla), and I didn't even look to remove mold lines/sand down nubs.

When priming my first batch of units (including this Stalker) I was wearing acrylic gloves when handling them, but the gloves kept getting stuck to the larger units that I wasn't holding by the base and you can see smudges/very obvious marks from where the piece of glove got stuck.

The damn primaris marines are re-igniting my interest in 40k.

Now I'm wondering if this sort of paint pattern would work on them.

>>53927803
I'm not really clear what the green lines are meant to be. Are they an edge highlight? An indication of some random camo pattern? Or are you honestly going to try painting it exactly like that?

Whichever it is, I would suggest using a different colour. Either a lighter shade of the main colour or something which contrasts / complements it. Two distinctly different colours which are quite close in hue tends to look bad.

Gotta say, that looks pretty damned sweet, and good fluff. The Ultima Founding established a lot of defensive chapters assigned to segments along the length of the Cicatrix Maladictum, guarding against warp fuckery is strongly in keeping with theme. Post your pics when you have them painted up, I'm curious to see the results!

Don't bother stripping it. Take the ruined mini and the can to your local GW, show it to the blackshirt. Unless you happen to have the biggest cock mongrel of a store owner in front of you, you'll probably get a replacement kit and can.

>>53931154
To be quite honest most problems with spraycans are basically 99% percent of the time user error.

People talk about 'bad batches' and that stuff all the time, but the simple truth is most of the issues they experience is due to either not shaking the can properly, or spraying from too close, too far away, too much or just picking a day with shit weather without testing the spray first.

If you take your stuff to the store the blackshirt may give you an introduction on how to use a rattlecan, but don't expect any more of it.

>>53928139
I'm not sure what upsets me more: The AoS base that looks ridiculously out of place for 40k, the grotesque proportions, or the fact that you could have done so much more sculpting work on the Castellan legs.

>>53931254
Is there something in AoS that isn't pure, unadulterated shit?

>>53928139
>>53928362
>>53931254
>The AoS base that looks ridiculously out of place for 40k
I think the AoS bases work fine with the right paintjob, but I'm kind of surprised by how soft and blobby those bases look.

GW throws money at limited edition run plastic miniatures all the time why the fuck won't they invest in plastic bases that have crisp detail? If they'd look good they'd sell so much better.

>>53929496
>no penis rune in the book

>>53931249
Well, if you're a regular who is known to actually paint shit, the manager will probably hear you out.

And if you can prove that even after two minutes of shaking the can, holding the can far enough away from the model, only using short bursts and working with decent weather, the paint ends up looking grainy as fuck, they should pretty definitely help you out.

>>53923419
I can tell from your typing and choice of primer that your ignorance is going to result in shitty prime jobs regardless of what you do.

It's usually a glob of this stuff - the same thing you use to affix a model's base to an old paint pot of medicine bottle lid so you can pain the model without actually handling it.

Sometimes, though, they'll drill a hole (especially if assembly will later involve pinning), use superglue, or both.

>>53931749

It's going to be pricey, but yes, I do. I also have a lot of metal models to work on (something most 40K players don't have to deal with), and it works as well on them as it does on plastic.

Mortifactors got one of those schemes where it's almost 50/50 and neither the black nor bone parts are distinguished by being easier to access.
So whatever you like. Don't think it matters too much.

You read my mind, anon. Are you a Librarian?

>>53936390
>3mm might be too thick on 28mm models, I dunno.

3mm is a little bit less than an eighth of an inch - about the thickness of the cork tiles in >>53936239. There's some underneath this Librarian, but you can hardly tell.

How do you guys like my yellow so far? Gonna add some black markings after the yellow's done, planning to make my fleet look like wasps

>>53937830
for lack of a better word it looks yummy.
sort of reminds me of a banana.
looks good though

>>53937431
I think Reaper may have a guy that kind of looks like Harry.
Reaper have so many wizards, I won't try to find it now though.

Anyway maybe looking for kids in school uniform may yield better results. Can't really think of any from the top of my head though.

If you want the characters from the movies specifically Knight Miniatures makes a miniatures game. The KM stuff is more like 32mm usually though.

Thoughts on Gesso? Gave up on spray painting since Florida humidity. Heard a lot of good things about it, only a few bad things.

>>53937830
Other anon is right, kind of does remind me of bananas.

>>53932067

VGC is actually about the same or better than AP. Get Vallejo Game Air or Vallejo Model Color/Air if you want top quality.

>>53921299
I love the azure theme. I might make an honor guard kinda thing with that theme for my Metallica force. I bet the infiltrators would also look good in that color.

So some of hte primaris dudes don't have helmets and I want them to have helmets, can i just use regular marine helmets on them or are they not the right size?

>>53938688

They are the same size.

>>53938744

okay cool ty friend

I just basecoated a tank in waaagh flesh (due to a lack of castelan green) a d it looks fine to me. Only problem is I can't think of a colour to dry brush over it to make the details pop. Does anyone have an idea.

I'm painting a poxwalker using a similar method to the Battle Ready Duncan tutorial. I used Biel-Tan Green as the base for the skin and it came out waaay too green. Is there anything I can do to make it look less Incredible Hulk and more Solomon Grundy?

Right now I have a thinned-down Drakenhoff Nightshade going over it. Hope it helps.

>>53938840

Warpstone

>>53938981
Thanks lad

>>53939369
If you wanted to take it a step further, paint a wash into the recesses and corners of the armor, and then do the warpstone drybrush. Should make it pop nicely.

>>53939389
Thanks for the advice! I'll make sure to do that.

Make the yellow into gold, and the red and blue much darker. Think a mix of the two edgy power rangers (pic related). Also the white helmet is iffy, although you could possibly retain it as a veteran/sergeant symbol?

Kolinski Sables, yay or nay?

>>53940037
Clean up your highlights, the yellow lines look aweful.

Is there a way to get paint out of your brushes ferrule or to repair brushes that have puffed out because of this, or is it just more cost effective to replace them?

>>53940761
depends. Brush soap or other cleaning agents that can deal with paint should work.
But the more aggressive stuff is gonna do a number on the bristles. Dry them out and make them brittle.

Best way to avoid that is always not to get paint in the ferrule in the first place.

>>53932323
Massive picture without a really good quality to boot. Brush control is alright, albeit a bit splochy on the washes. You might want to do a red eye lense, to pop up more again st the white.

First of my Poxwalkers and first non-Ork-related model I've ever painted.

Do plasma guns have to be blue lore wise? Or can you make them other colors?
I'm trying to decide my color scheme for my marines and I feel like blue plasma would stick out too much from the other Salamanders colors.

The fucking rulebook has green ones so what do you think

>>53941482
pls no bully

>>53941431
Nothing HAS to be any color. You can paint up pink ultramarines if you want. Do what you want.

>>53941482
I only have 8e stuff.

Would yellow, red or orange be entirely unheard of colors for plasma guns?

>>53941587
Things do have to be certain colors IF I want to be lore friendly though

>>53941605
There's plenty of examples of canon non-blue plasma guns here. http://warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/Plasma_Gun

Unless you're going for a specific army that specifically loves/hates a colour then you're fine. Like Necrons only have a couple of dynasties that have non-green energy.

>>53941605
You can bullshit your way through a lot. Take the pink ultras for example, fighting on a xeno world with lots of pink foliage necessitating pink camo. Shouldn't let in universe canon stop an idea if you like it. Can always come up with a reason later.

Working on my appointed immortal for SWA. I've been having difficulty with this scheme shading the green parts of the armor. Mostly with consistency.
If I thin the Coelia greenshade with water I seem to have better results, (the deathmark looks like a completely different green almost as he had more shade) but when the shade is thinner it seems to streak together in whatever direction it wants over the flat surfaces. It kinda gives it this cool random camo effect but that's just the lie I tell myself. How do you shade flat surfaces?

>>53930710
did you drybrush wings, or it's layered highlight?

I've took a frew days break form paiting, since I've spent entire june on painting Dark Imperium for LGS.
Now it's time to get back to paiting! I've decided to finish off something form my backlog, before I go for crazy spending spree.
What should I do now:
>finish tzaangors for AoS
>finish Occult Termies and Sorcs for 40k
>finish bases for Silver Tower
>paint some random, primed model for Malifaux

>>53925653
top notch, would love to see a picture of the squad when they're all together

putting together some Dkok I ordered from some nice Chinamen. Quality of the models is good but I can't get these fucking things to stay together. Washed them already, but I've only gotten one grenadier together.

Anyone know where to pick up a reasonably priced hobby drill?

Started assembling my Primaris Marines from the boxset. Can't wait to start painting them.

>>53942730
>tfw really want Primaris Black Templar
>now sure whether I should wait for proper models or get the starter set and green stuff some tabbards on

H-have fun I guess

>>53942499
Which Chinaman?

How exactly are you supposed to use Citadel shades?

Bloodletter (red) and Fuegen (orange) works great on oranges, but Coelia (blue) always comes out really splotchy and odd on my green panels. The guide I'm using calls for coelia on green specifically, but has anyone used this combination before and had it turn out alright?

I understand FW with their direct-purchase-only price gouging but getting knockoff GW is just ridiculous poorfaggotry.

>>53943043
Oh shit I didn't even see that post.

I'm going for the exact same Necron army. That's what I mean, that Immortal on the left is pretty blotchy.

I've been thinking about applying the Nightshade just in recesses and divets of armour. Like with the Immortals, around the base of the neck armour and along the should groove as it goes down the back.

Looks great though! What did you use for the orange on the pipes/axe? I'm using Jokaero>Fuegan shade>Troll Slayer and it's coming out odd. The energy orbs are coming out looking like basketballs.

>>53942003
>How do you shade flat surfaces?
With layers of glazes. Washes are for crevices and intricate detail.

>>53943094
I use jokaero>troll slayer+lahmian medium X2>fire dragon bright+medium> attempt yellow highlight with yriel.

I just got the fuegan in the mail so it's not on any of the immortals yet. Will probably try to put in the recess of the axe. I use blood letter on all the silver gun glowy parts, and then I use gloss varnish on all the oranges. Only thing is I feel it's time consuming and I have like 14 more immortals to paint

>>53941229

It's either that or paying through the nose just to get a few bits to use in conversions. I need the whirlwind tank missile pods, the dreadknights legs, and a storm talon body.

Looking for suggestions on how to "chaos-ify" a Leviathan dread. I can't sculpt GS to save my life, so I'm thinking some simplistic plasticard trim in a few key places and use spikes and chains to tie him into his little brother.

The casts for the primaris marines look very clean. Have any of you that got them experienced any issues or horrible mould lines?
