Finally jumped the shark and got my fave models I could never buy because I didn't play 40k at all. Started working on the first one, going for a classic Yellow/Black Bad Moonz scheme and an inverted one for the Morkanaut.

So, how would one go about painting bright bones/horns? I want to paint my Khorne Daemon prince (and the rest of the army) have claws and horns that really pop out, kind of like on pic related.
He's primed in black, so I can't just do a wash and call it a day either.

Noob question time
I know better than to prime in 96 degree weather, but what about regular painting? I use the shop and it doesn't have AC so it's 87 degrees in there right now. Can I still paint with that much heat? I'm using citadel paints.

Re-posting for new bread. Started on some base coats and washes for all these damn reavers. Then maybe do a little bootleg terrain stuff. Anyone else working on a bunch of stuff at once?

I want to get my gaunts done, but fuck me it's 100 degrees in the shop

>>53987718
Sure, but don't forget using a wet pallette and washing your brush more often, so the paint doesn't dry up in it.

>>53987826
No wet palette here, so I'm losing another day of work. Might go out late tonight when it cools off

Arms look good, Shoulderpads are big, but work.
The armor over their groin kind of looks like they are compensating for something.
May just be because the white resin stands out more, but I think they might look better without the groin armor.

man /wip/ my Mortifactors keep turning out like poopoo, but Im gonna keep stripping and working on my test models. Wish me luck brothers.

>>53988786
Groin armor is there for army flavor. Their home planet had a bad bug with Genestealer cult ripping off peckers and going for inner thigh stabs from sewers and other hidey holes, so they implemented a siege guard. It however led to aggressive melee maneuvers by killing downed enemies by squatting over their body and bashing their face in with the plate if they happened to lose their weapon or side arm

Hey /tg/ wanna play a game? It's called "guess what I'm building." I'm really excited.

>>53989223
tau terrain?

>>53989268

Well, that much was obvious. I'm building something very specific, a certain type of Tau building as you said, although some of the fine details have been altered for ease of construction.

Can anyone direct me in where to find good metallic purple paint? My Google fu only yielded enamel and some goofy stuff.

>>53989042
Same faction and same boat (or raider). What's the giant for?

>>53989306
Something from soulstorm?

>>53989306
ok specifically then it looks like those parts might make a DOW Tau Research Building, or something like it

>>53989412
its a Ghorgon - had a hair up my butt to create an AoS force and decided on beastmen

>>53989414
Or Dark Crusade rather

>>53989428

Got it. The Tau Path to Enlightenment. It was the first building I seriously worked out in CAD, so I hope the prints come out good. I'm honestly kind of worried, when I submitted them to shapeways, everything was all good, but they said it had to be resized for their printers. Considering those pieces are like 2 inches long max, I'm not sure what they meant. If the pieces aren't the exact measurements, then it's all going to shit.

>>53989440
Nice! My girlfriend decided she wanted to play khorne daemons and I've been pondering wether to get some skaven to play against them with. How is AoS?

>>53989484
I like it - I'm more of a hobbyist than a gamer, so I appreciate the ease of play and straightforward rules. The old world fluff was certainly better, but I like the "your dudes"ness of AoS. Also building a swamp-themed destruction list with troll hag, river trolls, and fimir. Just praying Forgeworld puts out those fucking dirach and meargh sculpts they teased years ago

Send help, also totally unrelated but do I stand a chance of stripping enamel off plastic?

Ok so I'm relatively new to all this; I've painted up Primaris Marines with a Leadbelcher base and then done my 2 thin coats of Runefang Steel, avoiding recesses.

Do I want to be finely detailing all of the recesses with Nuln Oil, or should I (obviously without drowing it) coat the model? They're looking real bright and shiny now, and my theme is knightly Imperial Fists successors, but I'm worried that it'll be too dull if I completely cover it, but also that my shading the recesses, especially the pauldrons will be messy and sloppy

>>53989651
Yeah I can get enamel off plastic with a loooooong soak in simple green (2+ weeks) with multiple scrubs and re-soaks. it tends to get gummy and peel off in clumps so get some tweezers or a pick to help you

>>53989571
People seem to forget that Chaos has some of the best supplement forces.
If I had more heralds of nurgle I'd be rocking a vanguard of them.
I know a some Demon players were not as happy about the changes to them.
But I still think they're great.
Especially when you can summon them into the middle of the battlefield.
My Herald still gets his psyker phase you say? I certainly will heal a unit D3 wounds.
And he's only 4 power points, so the summon is a breeze of putrid air.

started on my test model for my new army.
I wanted a dark grey and i've failed spectacularly so I'm probably going to give up and pick a new scheme. I'd like to keep the red head and shoulder pads though, any suggestions for the main armour colour?

>>53989636
I certainly like "your dudes-ness" thanks for the info! May your paints be thin and your moldlines limited Anon.

>>53989717
How much a full coating will dull it down depends on how much wash exactly goes on, how much you've thinned it, where on the matter-gloss scale the surface is, etc...

Pretty hard for us to say how dark it'll end up, or how dull is too dull to you. Likewise it's bloody hard to say how good brush control you have.

>>53989754
Excellent, a subsitution for Castor's Super Clean in place of Simple Green alright?

>>53989870
I'd imagine so, though I haven't used it. It's a degreaser right?

>>53989801
Yeah maybe that was a retarded question

Let's rephrase then - is the result usually better from shading carefully in the recesses taking time, or all over and tidying up/highlighting after?

Finally trying to get my Orks painted starting with my Dread Mob, just finished my basecoating.

At some point im going to either make a thread or post in one of the generals with some kind of naming game for these 9 maybe not the middle one, he's my favorite and the "boss"

When is it OK to hotglue your models?

>>53989769
>I wanted a dark grey and i've failed spectacularly so I'm probably going to give up
why don't you just try again?
In any case it looks grey to me.
Could be darker but hey.

If you don't like mixing paints to get what you want you could check out Vallejo Model Color.
They have a fairly nice selection of those tones.

>>53990151
If we are talking actual glue I'd say that is totally cool for scenery and the like. For other stuff it's just not exact enough.

If you are talking about the other thing you should feel bad and the answer is never.
