Ok, a really rough mashup of what I'm trying to do for a Decimator. I can see already that I'll need to either somehow bulk up the legs or find more suitable ones, and I'm not sure on the head yet. Thoughts?

Hey guys,

finished my very first Greenstuff project yesterday and wanted to share it with you.
Was kind of a pain in the ass cause one arm broke apart from the rest while I was working the pattern in, so I had to finish both parts, let them dry and than connect them.

What do you think? Any tips for future Greenstuff works.

btw. next profect will be sniper in full ghillie suit

>>54085031
Looks comfy.

Cloaks are awesome, it is just a pity that you are essentially covering up a large portion of a model putting one on.

Frontal shots?

Rifle is missing some highlights in this pic btw.
Finished it today but forgott to take a picture.

>>54085031
>Any tips for future Greenstuff works.
Nothing specific in reply to the photo, just as a general tip:
Work in layers. Makes it a whole lot easier.
for example with this you could first add the cloak with a flattened piece of GS, let that dry, add the fold and volume where you like it, maybe cut the edges straight once that is cured and then move on to do the texture and finally the hood.

Takes longer, but gives you more control ultimately. Also means the working time for each bit you are trying to do is a bit longer. Don't have to rush yourself that much.

I think this is especially useful for things that are standing/hanging free or are otherwise likely to move if you manipulate them. Stuff that benefits from having an armature.

>>54084762
yea I think it looks more like actual text now than thick lines.

>>54085056
Thank you.

>it is just a pity that you are essentially covering up a large portion of a model putting one on.

Yea thats kinda true.
But the bitz with the weapon and arm allready had a cape that covered most of the model and torso/legs are standard guard bitz, so nothing to spectacular is covered.

>>54085072
The rifle could use some camo. Some Ghillie stuff wrapped around the barrel could work, or even just a camo paint job on the black parts.

>>54085101
>Work in layers. Makes it a whole lot easier.

I will do this next time.
Did the whole cape at ones (without the hood).
The Greenstuff started drying halfway through so I hurried up and broke the arm.

>>54085170
Not him but keep the GS wet while you work. Just a bit of water. It won't harden as fast and make smoothing easier.

>>54084762
God that looks twenty times better anon. Good work

>>54085128
I was thinking about some kind of camo netting.
Any Idea how to do that (with or without greenstuff) ?

>>54084802
Looks pretty nice.

Maybe go for a smaller head, this way the legs will not look as tinny as they look now.

>>54085228
It would be hard to do proper netting in the sense of having holes in it. You could make some really thin strips of GS and wrap them around and etch a weave pattern or something on them. Or do the same style as the suit.

>>54084811
>>54084802
I like the proportions and silhouette generally, but the head is kinda screwing with the aesthetic. It's a cool shape on its own, but it says bionicle or infinity while the rest of the bitz say grimdark

>>54085228
what I did for my German sniper model was cutting some really thin strips of tissue paper, wrapping it around the gun barrel and then soak it in watered down PVA. worked fine.

>>54085228
stretch some bandages (I think americans call it gauze?) out or cut them vaguely into shape

>>54085635
Yeah, bandages frozen with PVA (after you tie them on) is probably your best bet.

>>54084811
I feel weird for saying this but I think this looks way better than the FW model. The silhouette and proportions are great, you just need some work tying the parts in together. The head needs more baroque trim, as do the legs, as well as actual talons on the toes.

I fucking love the idea of proper daemon engines created from scratch as being these lanky, super fast, super efficient murderbots because the Dark Mechanicum are able to optimise the shit out of their designs, as opposed to the dogmatic AdMech.

I feel like bright copper plasma coils are an underrated aesthetic.

>>54086162
Neat stripes my dude

>>54085031
Now, it is some good work, but if I may, using gaze (bandages) is much mucb easier, and time saving. Just unwind it to jave a single layer of gaze, use washes on it before putting it onto the model. There was a tutorial with a guardsman, can't remember where, should jave saved it. The result it was pretty good.

Ok, posted this a few threads ago and didn't really get anything.
I got some metal painboys a while back and the first one turned out really good, the thing is I just don't know how I should go about painting this guy.
His head just fucks with the color scheme I had going for all my orks and I dont know if I should just straight up paint him red and white or something else entirely. Any input on this would be helpful.

They're sculpted on the mini which helps a lot. That said my masking is almost as good, which I'm pretty proud of.

>>54084802
The thumbnail made me think it was based off that one Evangelion monster with the ribbon arms

>>54086326
I thought so too and I actually hit it with another tiny highlight of silver/gold mix on the very peaks of the coils. It also doesn't help my desk lamp is bright as FUCK so the bronze trim looks might brighter and shinier than it really is, when in reality there's a pretty significant difference between the gun and trim. I'll take some more pics in natural light tomorrow.

>>54086303
>>54086316
I have no clue why FW discontinued these minis, they're absolutely gorgeous. I'm really, really motivated to do it justice.

>it's the only Legion Contemptor without colour photos

I like it but what if you put like an orange highlight and then barely a red highlight to make the bronze coils look like they're cooling down?

Trying to do a Weeping Legion with more old blood stains and other stuff leaking from wounds, how is it so far? I'm kind of considering using dried blood and recent blood ala Blood for the Blood God in the holes/closest part to cracks and wounds since it doesn't seem like Nurgle's Rot shows up well on the main armor color. I could also do maybe a The Cleaved style of brown and dark green leaking from armor parts. I also think that highlighting all of the small pieces Pallid Wych Flesh might be detrimental to how dirty other parts look so I've only highlighted a few spots that color but should I go for the whole thing coverage wise?

Also don't worry I'm getting rid of that hideous piece of sprue still left on the backpack I still can't believe I missed the damn thing.

I've been looking at the new Reiver Marines and was wondering if it would be possible to convert them into some kind of counts-as for Kataphrons. Add beep boop robot heads, fuel tanks, mechanical parts, have them have gun arms etc. So rather than tank men they're Big Marine sized Kastellan style things.

Is this a good/bad idea?

>>54086629
Nice Salamanders.

>>54086629
Pretty good, but I'd darken the green a little bit. Right now it's a bit too reminiscent of the salamanders. Maybe one diluted wash of Nuln Oil, so that only the very sharpest edges and the crest of the shoulderpad has that vibrant green colour?

Hate to break it to you, but even though some of Z's look like plastic, they are absolutely resin. Besides, Coolcast is miles ahead of Z in quality

>>54086961

Yeah you can get dogshit resin recasts of older models, but his newer GW stuff at least is often 'on sprue'. I ordered the limited terminator chaplain and the sprue looked like fresh out of the blister.

Anyone know a good substitute for Nurgle's Cauldron, or should i just use green stuff?

I have Z's dkok. They are medium quality. Some of their coats will be raggedy and some boots are misaligned. Alpharius has better ones but for a bigger price. I have both Z and Alpharius models.

>>54088022
3 coats of nuln if not more.

>>54087428
They're not nearly as hot. I've ordered quite a few, and find some of the molds to be misaligned by a tiny bit.

It's nothing you can't handle with some work.

>>54087970
yeah edge highlighting, I'm painting a predator in dark purple and wanted to use genestealer purple for higlights

>>54088075

Would it save time to mix the red with a drop of black before applying the red coat?

I like edge highlights on my Rhino chassis vehicles. They're perfect for that.

I'm about to drop 50 squid into a set of citadel paints. This includes the base spray. It should do my entire army. I've tried Vallejo and didn't like it. Is it just a case of bite the bullet? I'll go down to my lgs tomorrow. I'm sure they'll laugh with glee.

How i should do bases /tg\?!

>>54088663
Before assembly.

As it is too late for that, just use some texture paint from GW, then wash and drybrush. That would be the quickest way barring bare unpainted sand.

>How i should do bases /tg\?!

I'm doing my newer bases with fine, rocky basing sand, accented with static grass or grass tufts. For me, though, that means gluing the sand on *before* priming. That'd be a huge risk for you on such nice paint jobs.

Maybe take the easy way out?

>>54088162
It would save time to just use khorne red, its a darker red and you would only need maybe 1 coat of nuln oil.

If thats not an option, then a small drop of black will help darken it up.

Does anyone have inspiration for a white/red focused paint scheme for death guard? My buddy really wants to use those colors and he split the box with me but I'm not imaginative when it comes to that

>>54088720
I meant what flavor.

Like, what would look good

>>54088663
There's no reason to do bases. Just pretend like they're not there.

Unless you have an army for each board type.

>>54088778
Oh ok, so you have white, red, green and gold on your models, white and red being the predominant colors here. Your scheme is pretty bright, so you need some dark colors on the base to contrast it.

I think the best option would be to make black bases, like ashes. I think there is even a texture paint for that. After they dry you can lightly drybrush them with some medium grey.

Currently making my very first babby's first 40k army, namely some fluffy combined arms T'au. No commander spam bullshit or mecha bigger than my crisis suit team. Can anyone recommend the sort of magnets you should use if you want to be able to change weapons on models (for instance, changing burst cannons to fusion blasters or vice versa on stealth suits, or the many combinations of loadout possible on crisis suits, or even just changing strike teams to breacher teams by changing to pulse blasters) and any general tips on using them?

I was also thinking about that cracked skin technique of yours, but I think it won't work on small miniatures, the coat would be too thin. But it way work on tanks and such.
Alternatively, what about using it together with nurgle's rot on bases, to give the impression of mucus oozing from the cracked terrain?

>>54089235
I've tried that. The problem is Nurgles rot is a really glossy even surface when dry, so when you use crackle paint, it won't hold. It dries but then half of it just flakes off.

the crackle paints just won't stick to Nurgles rot the way they would with flat normal paints.

>>54088022
you will likely have a lot of difficulty using washes on something with many large flat surfaces like a rhino - it will come out looking splotchy - you're better off mixing up a darker red to use as a basecoat

Rakarth flesh! And yup on the base color I pretty much followed Duncan's guide and attempted dried blood and later tonight possibly fresh open wound blood to make it more fluffy. Gonna attempt to paint a Putrid Choir guy later to see which looks better side by side.

As you can see from the picture in >>54091778, it was harmless - a Mk I Rhino, RTB-01 beekee sergeant, and 3rd Edition Space Marine with a flamer came out just fine. Just make sure it has *NO* acetone in it. I reserve the acetone (and Goof-Off) for the extra-tough jobs ... and metal *only!*

I've honestly heard mixed things about non-acetone stuff, so at least try your particular brand before using it.

Otherwise, stuff like Super Clean or Simple Green almost certainly won't damage your plastics.

Less than 24 hours, minimal scrubbing compared to Dettol or Fairy Power Spray, which is the best bit. No picking at crevices either, it bloats it all out.

So, how does one paint brass, preferably with GW colours?
I was thinking Balthasar Gold, then Runelord Brass, light shading with Agrax Earthshade, and highlighting with Runelord Brass again. Maybe some shiny bits on the most prominent details.
Those Khorne daemons need their brassy bits.

>>54092735
>Basecoating and highlights for the body and legs are done for the most part.

This looks *way* more successful than the NMM.

Have you considered using Seraphim Sepia to wash gold instead of Agrax Earthshade? It might give you what you're looking for.

The rest of my Exorcists are dark red like the FW scheme with the diamond patterning. I thought I'd paint this Primaris Ancient in a black/grey scheme with red shoulder heraldry and banner.. pretty sure there's a FW Badab illustration of the dark colour scheme somewhere described as 'extreme environment'... Thought it'd make a nice distinction for the Primaris guys. Not sure if I'll do all the Primaris section in this black scheme, so I started with the real standout guys to see if it looked good.

Cheers though. Leg is gonna have a black fade later and there's more freehand to come on the banner.

Currently the colors progress by rank in that Sergeants have bone helmets while officers have bone pauldrons also. However I think this leaves the basic marines looking too much like Ultrasmurfs.

Should I do bone helmets throughout and give the pauldrons to Sergeants and up, or give everyone all of it, or just keep them the same?

The right hand skull is pretty boss. I think you might have underdone it with the facial highlights. Maybe cut the shadows down a little more for the face at least. I don't think you're done with the staff or the hat, so I won't judge yet.

>>54100523

That model looks old enough to be metal, in which case the only thing that would damage it is stuff that would kill you anyway. Even if it's plastic, rubbing alcohol should be plenty safe for a short, 15-30 minutes soak and is one of the more powerful paint strippers without being overly toxic.

>>54100593
This is my confusion. It is a plastic. Which is why I don't know where it came from. I thought it might be a space hulk model or something but its not.

>>54096692
Use a slightly lighter blue maybe? The tone of the two colors is really discordant. The blue is a solid strong cool color, and your (white?) is a washed out bone color. It looks weird because their helmets look dirty while their armor looks clean.

>>54102459
yeah, shake the bottle. It should dry matte unless you bought gloss by mistake.

Should I prime the Dark Imperium death guard black or white? Unfortunately only have the pot of DG green.

Going to do some sandy bases for my drak colored necrons but I've never based anything before.. how do o go about getting started?

My warriors are on 25mm bases, and I only have 20 but I have more to build that came with 32mm bases... should I change my existing ones or buy some 25mm? I kinda like the smaller ones better because i like to keep the horde clumped together close in pictures and stuff but idk if it's worth buying 25s every time I want to make more warriors

What scheme would work best on vehicles for orks who have blue/purple skin, as opposed to the classic green?

Finished! Pretty happy with this

>>54099003
Are you doing them in batches? IE, Prime them all, basecoat them all, wash them all, etc. Second, DO NOT take 8 hours on one dude unless it's someone important. You models might look poorer, but you'll actually get them on the table, and when you improve later there's always simple green and a toothbrush so you can strip them and go back to do a better job in less time.

>>54102756

All the colors, but made to look really worn

I think orks look best when their stuff looks all thrown together and random

>>54102642
Necrons warriors look better on 32mm bases, where their feet don't go over the base.
The gw texture paints are actually quite nice for doing sandy bases.

Hey all, trying some kitbashing on death guard dudes. Would love some feedback. First time I've tried converting / kitbash and I'm finding it slow going but overall pretty rewarding. Including a dude from the box set for reference.

>I want to strip all that paint off without damaging it and make him part of my new cults army. I'm in the UK. Whats the best product I can get off the shelf?

Some Brit-anon showed us how the Wilko Paint and Varnish Stripper did not harm his plastic First Edition Space Marine scouts, which are made of the same material this model is.

>Also where is this guy from?

It's a First Edition plastic Genestealer hybrid. These earliest plastic models were meant to be used in expansions to GW's tunnel-fighting games like Space Hulk and Advanced Space Crusade, but it was only a very short time before they were integrated into the Warhammer 40,000 games and given roolz for their use there as well.

How do you guys prime your minis? I've just been putting them on a newspaper outside and spraying them standing, then laying on both sides. Do y'all have better methods for better coverage?

>>54104833
I use a cardboard box positioned on my bed, folded in a way to keep the paint from spraying onto my sheets. Have the windows and door open, letting the air in and leaving the room for about ten minutes whilst the paint sprays. As for coverage, try getting some more distance with your can. It'll take a little longer, but there's a move even coat at the end of the process.

>>54104833
I put the minis on a box hold the box in my hand and go outside.

Working on one of my hive tyrants. It's taken about 10 hours so far and I'm nowhere near done. Any tips for highlighting? Right now I've basecoated mephiston red, washed it with nuln oil, then added another layer of mephiston red on areas that I think the light would hit. Should I use another lighter color next or would that be too much?

>>54105297
Excuse the sideways pic, posting from my phone.

>>54104351
That pic is of GOOD GUYS anon. Those are AdMech techpreists, loyal servants of the Omnissiah.

>>54102872
Your edge highlights on the green could use just a touch of cleaning up, but not bad, definately tabletop ready.

>>54105127
Sadly, this will take a while, as I still have to finish the bases for the mask and celestine and I need those done if i want to get the zenithal highlighting on the base as well.
I also wanted to convert three deamonettes into raptors two add to celestines followers.

>>54105297
Those wings could use some Drakkenhof Nightshade followed by a highlight of the lighter blue you used on the carapace.

Holy fuck I didn't realize how much I wanted that for csm until now

I bought the DG half of the new start set from a friend and wow I'm very impressed with how few mold lines there are. They're only really apparent on the Poxwalkers since their entire body is on one sprue.

I still have PTSD from the old assault marines kit.

I'm coming back from a few years of not playing. Are a lot of the new kits not as moldline/flash heavy?

>>54103536
I really like how the bottom right dude came together.

Real good job in general there, but he's a real standout.

>>54105561
Thing was most of those weapon kits were stuck onto genestealer hybrids. Because the sprues were only ever blistered with them. Also, it was damn near impossible to get a good fit with any of those weapons onto any of the 2nd / 3rd edition metal/plastic CSMs

>Mfw the greatness of Green Stuff World

Seriously, it's the largest untapped market ever in this hobby and they are making hand over fist in money because no one else bothered to sell this stuff.

>>54105729
not entirely true, there are more companies selling "stamp" style molds for greenstuff, but GSW makes some really good stuff, true.

>>54105765
Can I get some examples? As GSW is the only ones I've ever managed to find. Maybe other companies just don't advertise enough?

I'm trying to do a dark space wolves colour scheme, what do you guys think?

>>54105802
there were a whole bunch kickstarters from companies that did stamp pads for basing. None of them ever lasted long though.
Most of the stuff they sell isn't really a new idea, they just offer better than average quality i think.

Would you prime the plague marines in the DI box white or black? I intend to paint them like duncan's video.

>>54105802
http://www.history-craft.co.uk/basius.aspx (formerly sold by Wargames Bakery)
is one example, though it seems they've stopped selling to individuals, which is odd.
I actually own a couple of these through their Kickstarter.

is another, these are sold to individuals though.

Yeah I have had the blightkings kit sitting around for half a year or so just because I thought I could get cool bits from it. When the box set came out I decided to see if I could get four marines and one blightbringer. Here's the bell dude from the blightkings next to the one in the box. I gave him a holstered pistol and backpack which are hard to see here. The blightking is a little smaller but not much.

>>54105720
Sucks that there aren't really good long skull helmets available.

>>54105685
Thanks man! He's hard to see but my fave is probably top middle. He's got the three eyed champion head from the chaos marines kit. The bottom right dude has an imperial backpack augmented by some chopped up skitarii bits - my main army til now. I want to see if I can do a bit more with some of the tubes from old admech kits to see if I can get rebreathers on them - we will see!

Painted this to distract myself, posted in AoSgen this morning but want to get some feedback from the experts

Good things?
Things to work on?

>>54103553
Ah, I couldn't find a good comparison pic.

>>54102872
Looks pretty good, maybe a bit thick highlight on the green areas, and maybe you could achieve a gradient with a wash?

>>54106676
It's begging for highlights. I like it, but another layer on the skin, the edges of the metal and armor, could all be very helpful.

>>54106676
Maybe paint over the flesh a bit so the raised areas are not quite so glossy? And maybe dop a wash of earthshade on the hting connecting the steel ball to the chain.

Planning how to assemble my DW kill team for a scenario with a friend, I wanted to make a Minotaur hoplite but I'm not sure about what to use for the shield. Classic combat shield is medieval and not hoplon-like, I have those old shields the Imperial spearmen in the old WHFB base set used, the ones with a lion head, but they seem a little too small. I have a spare Tau drone around that would be just the right size, but I'm not sure it would fit well.

Pic is to show the "front" of the shield in case I used it. Aside from obvious stuff like putting an imperial eagle or something I'm conflicted about that little gap.

>>54107153
sigmarine wing dudes have circular shields at the right size for space marines

>>54106818
There is nothing wrong with it, it just could be further added on.
It looks good, the colours are inside the line, the washes are interesting.

>>54107180
Are they sold separately? Honestly I'd rather use some of the stuff I have floating around in my bit box(es) than buy new stuff.

Thanks for the suggestion anyway.

Hey fellas looling for some help on finding a recipe on how to paint space marines like pic related? Really wanna paint my primaris as such

>>54107153
If you check scibor, puppetswar or hasslefree you can just buy hoplite shields as bits.
Personally I think using a Tau drone is just gonna look like a Tau drone to any 40k play.
The least you have to do is close the panel lines to make it look like something other than a tau drone.
At that point you might as well just use a Lego antenna dish or something like that though. Or maybe a button in the right size.
