I was thinking about turning some Savage Orruks into Ork Boyz. Any good boxers with lots of 40k parts to make them look less Age of sigmar like?

For the straps and boot leather on these guys, I was thinking of just patching up the black primer with abaddon black to make sure the edges are clean, then giving it a dark grey highlight and leaving it at that. Do you think that would look ok or would it seem lazy?

well you surely need either a box of boys or nobs for shootas, but that depends on how big the savages actually are never seen them in life

you can probably can get some nice bits out of those boxes too, to make them look more sci-fi

does anyone have any tips on how to make a smooth desert style base for my models?

i've looked all over the place for tutorials, but most desert bases are painted to be rocky or cracked rather than smooth and wavy as shown in the pic

I'm starting a chaos renegade army. Any tips or guides on painting grey clothes, dirty browns and that kind of stuff?

Your highlighting and general ability to paint within the lines is amazing. You could probably sell models with those paint jobs for serious cash.

Mostly finished work on the first warbuggy for my Oddeptus Mekanicus army. I've got some edge highlighting to do as well as the base, but I'm waiting for some 150x70 bases to come in for that.

I just had a dumb thought. I'm replaying the Borderlands series and I kind of want to have a proxy army of something from there. Maybe Bandits as Orks or Hyperion as Tau. I'm tempted.

>how usual is it for a imperial fist to have a red colored helmet is it only for vets?

According to Sentinels of Terra, a red helmet (possibly with white stripe) or red crest on a yellow helmet indicates that the model is a sergeant. A black helmet is a "Sternhelm", or veteran sergeant. I think consistency is pretty much left to the vagaries of which Studio Lad has painted them, though, as the same book also shows examples of terminator squad sergeants who wear the same colours (yellow with red stripe) as the other models in their squads.

The 40k realm of battle tends to come out really badly cast. We had to scrub the store one and then ask a car wash to wash it for us to get all the grease off it , it was warped with whole areas outirght melted and not filled in.
It wasn't the only one, every one we sold we had to take back and send back to GW. The regular RoB boards always came out fine, as did the AoS ones, But the 40k ones just don't fill properly.

>>54372831
pic related is actually really easy to pull off
the colours I use for the armour are : Agrax Earthshade, Castellan Green, as well as German Cam Bright Green and Pale Sand from Vallejo Model Color range (but you can use Varpstone Glow and Ushabti Bone if you're using Citadel).

1. Paint the armour with Castellan Green

2. Wash with Agrax

3. *the most difficult part* apply very watered down Castellan Green (almost wash consistency) again, but only on the raised areas of the armour, to create a shadow effect, like in pic related, you can see the lower parts are darker (make sure you don't get any paint into the recesses)

4. add some some Bright Green and a bit of Ushabti Bone and do an edge highlight on everything, it doesn't have to be very thin

5. mix 50/50 Bright Green and Pale Sand (and maybe a bit of Castellan, if it's too bright for you) and do a 2nd edge highlight, but make sure to make it very thin, and only around the sharpest edges (you might want to use the side of your brush here)

6. Use some pure Pale Sand, with just a tiny drop of green in it (for that slight greenish tone) and put dots on the tips of the edges

7. PROFIT

I also decided to go for the blue/grey uniforms, to honour the old Cadian colour scheme.

Thank you so much man I appreciate the help. On your step 4. do you do an individual highlight of Bright Green and a bit of Ushabti Bone? Or a mix?

>>54373580
Well, I am a pretty standard painter but those miniatures are special so I wouldn't mind spending good time on each one rather than painting five of them each time for tabletop quality

I could use some help with making my ork army.
I already decided that their colours would be red and white, they are located somewhere in the Ultima Segmentum,and that they would be led by a painboss or just have a painboy as the warboss's right hand man. I just can't really think of what else I should do with them, whether or not I should focus more on vehicles or infantry and what kind to focus on. Any help would be appreciated.

>>54373620
>>54373580
As an example, how would you paint clothes like pic related to get some realistic result

>>54373620
For high quality you can follow the tabletop-ready method but add an extra step after the wash which is to glaze the model with the base colour so you create a model with much more "pop". After you've glazed a little, you can highlight as normal. Between each highlight step you can glaze with that colour to create a much more even transition between each colour. Your final highlight should not be glazed or you will make the model look like wax.

You can create your own wash colours by mixing lahmian medium and any colour in a 75/25 ratio respectively, if you don't want to use the standard citadel ones.

>>54373653
Plain old trucks, boyz, painboys, bikers, and maybe gretchen or stormboys

>>54373767
Thanks anon, that's very helpful! If everything goes well I'll post results

>>54373794
Run a trukk-heavy army. Throw like 5 of them on the board and put specialized units in them--Nobz, Burnas, etc. Stormobyz work with them because they can speed up and down the board with the trukks. Skip warbikers, unless they're nobz on bikes.

>>54372844
Is good for painting realistic worn looking armor instead of cartoonish edge highlights.

>>54373814
Remember that a glaze is not a wash. It is thinned paint, like a wash, but the application is somewhat less intuitive — you have to put your brush to the area you want to leave dark, then drag the brush (and thus the pigment) toward the lighter area.

>>54373831
So a fast attack kind of hit and run army?
I assume I should also have a few 30 boy squads of orks just running around the table too, right?

>>54373869
I'll do some test models. Thanks again anon

Literally no one will care. If it's a guardsmen with decent looking armour and hot shot Lasguns they'll be cool with it. Storm troopers are scions, they're the same thing. They just got a new name so they can copyright it.

GW is fine with head swaps as long as your manager is cool with it. My advice is to talk to him in person and inform him, and if he asks you the question what you'll say if someone asks what heads those are just say "they're an old forgeworld conversion kit" instead of "oh I got them from pig iron miniatures" or something.
My gw is fine with headswaps, pic related has some 3rd party heads in them

Go with a different name, boss.

>>54374526
They could have done that at any time in the last 30 years.
It's more like GW wants to be able to shout at other companies calling their suspiciously compatible models something that appears in their army lists.

Right around the time of the Chapterhouse lawsuit all army list entries and characters that did not have official models were dropped and after that codex releases came out with missing units that were supplemented a month later in White Dwarf, cause they were afraid somebody could claim they made 'Imperial Dingbats' first.

>>54374078
looks a whole lot better with paint

>>54374526
tempestus scion is a relatively tame "high gothicy" version of storm trooper

It's one of the name changes I don't really mind. Especially since "scion" is simple to use in casual conversation.

What's the best way to go if I want to paint the HH Death Guard color scheme for the whitish parts ?

I was thinking a Rakarth Flesh base and Pallid Wych Flesh for highlights but what about the wash ? Agrax gives a dirty look I am quite fond of but I like the yellow tint Seraphim Sepia gives as well. Also Athonian Camoshade gives a nice "sickly" green that I find on theme for the DG.

Any tips ? Also, what's the best way to make rusty metal without rellying on pigments ?

You're right; you basically finished my thought for me. Same reason "Ratchet" became "Autobot Rachet".

How to I get into painting, as someone who's never done it before?

Or anyone else on the enormous list of third party bits

If I've primed the rest of my models black, would there be a noticeable difference if I primed a model white?
I've run out of Black Primer.

Found I had a pair of space marine legs in my bitz bag, so i decided to try and kitbash myself up a ordo malleus inquisitor

I rarely work with metallic paint so it was fun to get to fuck around with it on this guy

I went a little too thick in some areas but overall im happy with how he came out.

It was also interesting to do edge highlighting with metallics

Gehennas gold and auric armour were the two main golds i used

One of the rare exceptions where that is true since these days the painting guides are basically glorified marketing tools to push product.

I'd recommend super thin 0.5 mm stuff or something similar. Though making the pieces and fitting them to the legs is gonna be fiddly and take a lot of work.
You may be better off doing a 'master' of your leg armor and make molds of that. That way you have to do the hard part only once and you'll get a consistent look across all the pieces.
There is something called Oyumaru that you can use.

Though considering how good you are at the whole converting stuff and the material costs you may be better off buying 3rd party bits. Depends on how many of those you are gonna need as well though.

This is just a picture of something that I had saved, you can also look into the bits by Mad Robot. They have a set of bits that is based on the armor from the marines from Aliens. Should be pretty close to the picture.
There are other companies selling similar stuff as well too Anvil Industries has stuff you could use. There are too many to list really.

>>54375477
I'd hold off, since there's like a 700% chance that a plastic typhus is coming.

I used a table sander, but most people don't have one. Any powered sanding tool is what Icd use. It's tricky at first but once I got used to it I could go through a squad in 2 minutes or so. Then some touch up with sanding sticks (this part takes longer) and you're good.

I'd be interested in seeing what you guys considered tabletop quality and "good tabletop". Like anyone have a pic of "solid tabletop"?

I'm not a great painter at all. I think I'm barely "good" but I consider table top quality to mean your army is painted consistently to the same standard. I'm more than happy to field these guys (pic related) and >>54376423 because I've painted them as best as I can and I'm proud of them. I don't think you should feel ashamed of your stuff because everyone starts somewhere and I know full well there are many people far far better than me. Take pride in your work my dude!

The oxidation of copper turns it pale green. Look at the Statue of Liberty.

The SS absorbed the leftovers, its a perfectly valid continuation and evolution of the terminology. You're observing the specifics and not the generalised military concept. You're being autistic.

>>54377044
Could use some edge highlighting on the bronze and maybe another layer of color or detail on all the pale spots

I was just going to say the black orc doesn't look painted.

>>54377184
But the SA continued right up until 1945?

As for the general concept of stormtroopers the SS were in no way remarkable for their use of aggressive light infantry tactics, in fact the majority of the Waffen SS divisions in no way resembled the stormtroopers of the First World War, either being standard infantry, mechanised troops or armoured units. Frankly the concept of the stormtrooper was dead when the tank came into it's own between the wars, and very little of the concept remained by the end of 1940. To refer to the SS as storm troopers, either due to their highly indirect line of descent from the SA which in itself was very little to do with the stormtroopers of the First World War or because of their tactics in the second is simply wrong.

I stopped playing in 3rd edition, for me, the scions are still too ornate. More is not always better when it comes to detail.

If you want GW sells a pretty good technical paint for oxidized bronze/copper called Nihlakh Oxide.

>>54374468

An airbrush has many pros. If you aren't going to get crazy with details, you can use your airbrush as a beginner to primer/base coat your models. With flow improver, you can essentially turn any paint you have and turn it into a spray paint.

Most use it it augment normal brush painting, even small models. Once you master your work flow planning, you can do some amazing things with even some basic zenithal highlighting and normal brush painting.

All the cons of an airbrush have nothing to do with painting, other than "they can't do super ultra tiny fine details without leaving fuzzy edges".

Tau are pretty limited when it comes to ornamentation given their design is sleek and practical as opposed to space marines who favor tabards and heraldry. I would go with something sci-fi, like maybe glowing lights or head lamps.

So, I have this airbrush that's just been sitting in a box for the past few years. I've never modeled anything, but I was looking into wargames when this came on sale and I figured it would be a good investment if I ever decided to start painting. Anyway, 8th edition came out and I decided now would be a good time to get into 40k, so I was wondering, what do I need to get this airbrush working?
Compressor recommendations?
Do I need a respirator?
Any other recommended buys?
I also plan on painting in a open garage, is that good enough in terms of ventilation?

>>54377998

Deer antlers, but strapped on with cloth or other strips of binding material, and other trophy stuff like Lizardmen feathers, Imperial weapon magazines, Imperial grenades on shoulder pads, Imperial pouches.

>>54378133
>Compressor recommendations?

Anything with a tank that fits your budget and painting space. WITH A TANK. WITH.

>Do I need a respirator?

Depends on the paint you're spraying. Low pressure spraying with acrylics you can get away with a doctor's mask or even no mask if it's a spray friendly brand. Others like enamels or lacquers or messy paints will create visible clouds of paint dust that requires respirators. Respirators are cheap and you will probably never have to replace the disposable filters.

>Any other recommended buys

Moisture trap, extra hose, and if you're a fancy pants, a cleaning pot that doubles as an airbrush holder. Or you can just spray your airbrush into an empty bottle or tub or rags to empty it, and leave it on the table when it's not in use instead of a holder, but I recommend buying the pot. It looks cool and is very useful and good to have for what it does, to prevent messes and banging your airbrush.

I didn't want to do rusty trim as drybrushing those thin ass trim pieces while avoiding the white sounds like hell to me, so I did a dark bronze colour instead, may do a little bit of verdigris here and there with nihilahk oxide later but not really feeling yet so I'm not sure if I will

>>54379208
I never liked the bright red and yellow fists color scheme, always looked like McMarines to me, and it always looks appalling to me. Not bad for a first time painter, though, I've seen worse. You should work on picking out more details, like tubes on helmets and feet and the armor joints, to break up the yellow. Also you should go over the flat areas where the shade dried with the base color again just to clean it up, and work on getting some highlights in as well. also get a pin vice to drill barrels and make sure you get all your mold lines, the one on the heavy bolter's helmet is really triggering me

Hmm, I might do an id software related name in any case. Just need to pick out the right one though I guess.

Finished my iron priest/techmarine for my Sons of Ymir army really happy with how this kit bash turned out

Would a glowing fire orange effect be something good to add to the hammer or would it be best to leave it as is

how do i become good

anyway i guess i should strip and start over on the turret since I can't freehand DICK.

The first two coats of Celestra Grey on the white parts of the hull looked so fucking boss, it looked like a Wehrmacht grey tank.

Now I wanna ditch these Empire Imperials and do Grey Nazis...

not a coincidence, must do the Grey Nazis??

>>54380081
I think orange would blend in too much with the armour

>>54376800
Looks like a balrog or ghost ride trying to be contained in armor and making it red hot. fucking badass/

>>54380088

It's incredibly refreshing to see someone doing something other than fatigue colors on guard. Stick with it man, I think you're chasing something good.

>>54375477
Tyranid chimneys?

>>54374349
I love the idea, but the flame itself could be a bit smaller and more concentrated maybe. As is it looks a little bit sloppy.

>>54375477

I think the 40k and 30k Typhus look way cooler than that conversion, but they're not nearly as bulky or imposing.

>>54374349

Shame, that actually looks awesome.
Freehand work is neat as well

>>54376423
Skintone on the wizard is too close to the colour of the armour, otherwise, solid.

Paint isnt completely dry yet but here is my finished inquisitor

Decided to make inquisitor Voke from the third siege of Vraks book

Had to convert his storm bolter because i didnt have a left handed one. Chopped up a right handed storm bolter and the big box magazine from the sternguard bolter and glued it all to his arm

I left the scope on it because i thought it fit with how goofy and overdesigned inquisition gear can be.

Skin is fine, the metallics and white are a bit thick, drill your barrel on the bolter and there's a mold line on the lens.

The guardsman took a long drag on his Iho stick before he spoke again.

"Yeah, we never saw much of Inquisitor Voke. Mostly because we tried to avoid him as much as possible."

"Why did you try to avoid a Holy Inquisitor?"

"Well, not him per se. I met him on a few occasions actually."

"Really!"

"Yeah, a bit grouchy, no time for fools, but not a bad person really.
The trouble was his honour guard..."

"What honour guard?"

Another long draw.

"During the entire siege, he was constantly accompanied by this marine. This Marine was almost always covered in some kind of blood or such liquid, and had an... odd ... habit of yelling loudly at any nearby guardsman about basic lifestyle features to maintain health.
I first encountered him when I was giving directions to the Inquisitor about where to find the various mess halls, lavatories, basic camp facilities of note.
Then this giant black armoured space marine just stomps up to me, covered in blood, helmetless and nearly manic."

"Yes."

"And he storms up to me, bends over, so his face was right in mine, eyes boring into my very soul..."

"Yes."

"And he just screams at me 'Stay Properly hydrated!' and jump-packs out."

>>54380977

Reminds me of military boot camp where they forced you to chug entire canteens of water multiple times a day so you didn't get dehydrated.

Just 100+ recruits standing in rows downing water while a DI walks up and down screaming "CHUG!...CHUG!...CHUG!"

what do you mean with glowing metal thing?

looks fine to me, to be honest
maybe, just try a few more (edge-)highlights on the metal, maybe use white too

I wouldn't worry about being unable to freehand, turns out most people can't.

>>54380977
I found the basic drill they sell in the jewelry aisle at Michaels makes the perfect hole in DG models. It seems like their guns are a little thicker than regular marine bolters.

Looking for C&C on my first attempt at a new approach to yellow for my fists, since I'm probably gonna strip all my old marinelets in their shitty yellow primer.
Pic related is averland sunset on top of corax white, which took more layers than I expected to get solid. Any IF bros out there with tips on painting yellow, especially when it comes to highlight colors and speeding up the process.

Asked last thread but got no response, is this any good?

https://www.aldi.com.au/en/special-buys/special-buys-sat-22-july/saturday-detail-wk29/ps/p/air-brush-kit-150w/

Looks like a good price in AUD, but I know nothing about airbrushes, I'm mainly looking at the compressor, I can get a better brush attachment later

>>54380830
Please never strip that mini. It's gold

Well, black, but you know

>>54381976
dont worry anon, he the prized mini of my collection.

I am planning on painting the rest of his vanguard vet squad soon, though none of them will ever achieve the raw meme-ry conveyed in that mini

>>54377056
Fuck off, there's no such thing as tabletop. It's either good or trash.

Could use some highlights or something to make it pop more

But it looks v good for 2 hours of workin with a crap brush

>>54379611
I will look into this, but >>54379631
had a kitbash video that looks great, and with 11 boyz and a trukk for $55 it's an even better idea now than when the video was made.

Anyone else get annoying ass tiny foam bubbles when using a very large flat brush to quickly paint minis?

>>54382588
Sometimes, but if my paint is as watery and thin as it should be, they go away after a few seconds

yesterday I textured a display board, today I primed it. Letting the polyurethane primer cure overnight outside and hoping my neighbors don't walk away with it.

>>54382690
>using Vallejo primer

Fuck that noise takes a million years to dry and cure. Vallejo needs to get on that shit and make a faster curing formula.

Could someone post that picture comparing citadel, vallejo and p3 colours?

Thanks in advance.

>>54382703
my krylon rattle can clogged up

but for as long as it takes to cure, vallejo's primer is really good stuff. The long cure time might really suck but i find the stuff goes on super smooth every time.

>>54382721
Yeah when it finally cures. I bet it's the polyurethane that makes it so slow so nothing to do about it.

>>54382729
You are probably right. I have another rattle can of "fast drying" clear polyurethane sealant that claims it cures in "only 72 hours".

>>54382763
>only 72 hours

kek

I've switched to Stynylrez since it's great at everything including dry time, but I bet if you start taking a knife to the miniature it'll scratch before Vallejo.

>>54382780
the best part is how it recommends three coats for sealing unfinished wood, with 72 hours between each coat and an extra 24 hours at the end. "Fast drying" indeed!

I wonder how well craft store paints will go through the airbrush?

Ideas for making two identical Sector Mechanicus bases less identical?

>>54380088
You should aim for a nice, even coat on that thumb. Looks like ass right now.

>>54382861
Use different bases

>>54382861
Could paint them differently... Like add markings to it like 'Level 4' or 'no parking'

Or just cut two bases in half and put them back together if you find a natural seam.

>>54382861
position the models differently on the base

paint them different

add bits to the base for some extra detail

>>54381891
Great way to do yellow power armour for tabletop standard...

>Ushabti Bone
>Agrax earthshade wash
>Lamenters yellow glaze

You definitely want to use the glaze rather than the wash, you will get a MUCH more consistent covering on the larger areas because that's what the glaze is meant to do. Since you already have the agrax underneath the pre-shading is done.
