Trying to make the poses of my Dreadnoughts a little less static. How'd I do? Poses aren't 100% exact (the blu tack isn't holding them up/together too well) but the basic ideas get along I think.
Top one is going to be a standard run of the mill Dreadnought and the bottom one is going to be Death Company.

Fucking GW. Why can't you just make all the dreadnought bits compatible with one another? I know why they'd hate bit swapping, but this is just stupid. Most of the bitz have *slight* differences that make them not fit on any other kit purely to prevent swapping so it seems. What little is swappable without conversion work barely fits on anyway.
Crafty cunts.

The bottom one is still static.

The top one is good, the turn in the hip is dynamic, not sure how I feel about the lean to the right due to height change, and definitely think the left leg is too far out, if it's possible you might want to move the left leg inwards a bit.

Anyone here a very good sculptor? I am interested in getting something commissioned.

In other news, I've been working on my omegon/alpharius model built off of guilliman. I have been carving out his armor and it has been a chore. I'll fix any imperfections later with magicsculpt.

I'm good enough and confident enough at sculpting to give him a sweet spawn cape, but I'm not confident putting scales on said cape. I'm also toying around with giving him the signature spear, but I'm doubting my ability to come up with one/find one impressive enough for the model.

Most forward piece was what I was in the middle of cleaning when I took the pic.

>>54418486

Agrax, but don't just slop it everywhere. Nuln Oil if you want the cell-shaded look.

The color. Drakenhof is blue, Agrax is dark brown, Nuln is black.

>>54419168
They work the same way and bring different shades, but are useful for different things. I dunno too much but,
Nuln: Detail pop, greasing, great with metallics and leadbelcher
Agrax: Dirtying
Drakenhof+seraphim+druchii: muzzle burn

My Raven Guard Lieutenant with some of his mans.

The pamphlet that came with DI just showed that their helmets were black so I did the white veteran arms plus a company marking to distinguish him.

I'll do squad markings eventually.

>>54420658

I would have made his mouthplate or entire helmet white as well, looks better and should be more accurate, but it's your choice.

>>54420658
I feel their lenses aren't exciting enough.
Also, mold lines.

>>54420672

There's a little section in the Primaris mini book that gives painting tips and shows how most first founding chapters mark their Lieutenant helmets and the Ravens just leave it black with the skull. No stripe or anything, so I tried to make them stand more than just have solid black armor.

>>54420713

Yeah I realized I was kinda lazy with some mold lines after priming, especially the heads.

What could I add to the lenses? I've been experimenting with doing more than just leaving them solid red for a little bit

First models painted after a long haitus. Last box I bought was the battle for black reach.

Any critiques welcome, finding the citadel paints very clumpy and sticky, really hard to get nice clean lines for the highlights. Even after thinning and flow enhancer.

>>54420803
For simple red lenses:
>red base
>nuln wash
>red again, leaving nuln in the recesses
>orange in the middle
>brighter orange towards the front/center
And a short step further if you wanna make them glow:
>subtle red glaze under the lenses - maybe 2 layers
Used that for my Fallen. Quite literally the least amount of work for a decent result.

I have heard that I can't paint let's say Ultramarines in any other color than blue and play them on a tournament as ultramarines, is that true? Why is that the case?

>>54421370
You can paint them as ultramarine successors

Rules are different from tourney to tourney but usually this is so that people dont play their imperial fists as raven guard or shit like that for
Waac reasons

Not all tourneys are that strict tho

>>54421370
WYSIWYG.

It's in the BRB.

If you make up your own DIY chapter that's usually fine though, but for a tourney that depends on who hosts the event.

If you don't like the UM scheme you could also paint one of their successors, that should be fine even for WYSIWYG nazis.
There should be a passage written about successor chapters in the codex somewhere iirc.

After after I've written all of this I just realized 40k is in 8th edition now.
It should still be somewhat accurate information though.

>>54414067
Question, aside from the (gigantic) weapon, what other conversions are you doing to Rowboat Girlyman? Can't quite see myself.
Also, how's he looking size-wise, compared to another Daemon prince?

>>54416118
Basically, any pose that a real, multi-ton bipedal war machine could not hold standing still.
Eg, front leg bent high up to the body, knee bent, with the bac leg straight and moving behind the main body.
It would be hard to make a dreadnought seem like it's moving, as by design (and lore) they are very static, but the Ven is looking good for motion.
All, I'd say is, one leg before the other and keep the body in front of the C.O.G but keep the weapons level-ish.

>>54420826
IDEA!
Paint all your army how you painted him.
Then strip them all off in the same way.
Name ideas...

What are the key points that make you see a model and say "that's for display, not for gaming".

I mean, a highly technical and accurate paintjob is obvious, and yet sometimes you see very high end paintjobs that still look like they are for gaming for some reason, like pic related.

What makes a model ascend past the gaming look and into the display and contest levels?

>>54423215
Beyond using a normal sized base and such? It's just how your mind categorises things. Subjective, intuitive, emotional, and in many ways effectively random.

>>54423215
A bigass base.

>>54423215
I think the base should be given as much attention as you gave the model in display quality models. If you've got a beautifully painted model, why put it on a flat, bland, drybrushed base.

>>54423238
>>54423304
>>54423327
Seems like we have a consensus on the importance of a proper base. But I think the model's size also matters, look at this Avatar by Bohun, it has a simple base, yet I would never mistake it for a gaming model. In this case it helps that the thing is huge and more comparable to a bigger scale figure than a 28mm miniature.

Could that would out with normal marines or are they not scaled/posed right to pull that off?

Marines do look cool in camo, many chapters actually have standard camo patterns utilized in various campaigns they participated in.

They look pretty good. I think the bolt rifles could be something other than gray all over, even just something like a green or tan drab would be good.

They're cool dudes, and I think you might like them if you want more tactical marines. The Forge World index has a neat character to use with them, and I'd just run them with Raven Guard chapter tactics for now unless Forge World chapters get their own tactics.

Nope. Hit the bottom of the bottle and gave it a good stir. So yeah vallejo and AP are shit paints. Its not just the Banshee brown I've had the same issue with three WW2 paint sets along with individual bottles from a hobby store.

The problem is AP hand out their paints by the truckload to youtubers who make the tutorials and the comparison chart on dakka dakka is incomplete as well as inaccurate. In my experience watered down citadel does the job but its getting accurate comparisons leaves me having to buy AP

Multistage question for you guys. These forest pieces are done, what do you think of them (ignore the game board they're on, I'm replacing it)? Sort of an accident I made the bases volcanic looking, just liked the effect. I am planning on buying from gamemat.eu and my next question is did I make these trees look good on "fallen earth" only? Ironically that was the mat I was avoiding in favor of "fallout zone". Final question is do any of you like their terrain, or should I look elsewhere?

like so many before me, I am not a fan of how the Malignant Plaguecaster looks, so I've cut off one hand and one arm, as well as replaced the head.
He's going to be my new Champion or chaos-lord in power-armor.
His right arm (left on the picture) will be replaced with a Power-fist, though I'm not sure what to put his left hand. A sword, or a pistol ,maybe?

>>54430256
>Okay well how do you use Vallejo and army painter different from citadel?
Vallejo comes out of the bottle thinner and dries faster. But the paint is great for glazes and building up gradients that way.
In my experience I found GW paints to be mostly chalky if you thinned them a lot. They can be a bit transparent depending on what paint you are using.
Scale 75 dries even faster, settles supersmooth and matte and are very opaque.

There are noticeable differences in the paints.

If you got a problem with mixing the vallejo paints you should try turning them upside down and rolling them between your hands. When you shake them I found it also works better if you add a twist from your wrist to the motion, whereas the GW paints were fine with a simple saltshaker motion.

But, since I am still in need of a sorcerer, I thought I'd replace the arms and backpack from him with this fella. I had to grab a elbow-pad from one of my regular CSM to make sure his none-staff-holding hand was pointed upwards. I am in the process off cutting and dry-fitting the "spellcloud" that the Malignant Plaguecaster throws from his hand, as to make it look like its rising from the palm of his hand instead. I'll probably have to do some minor pinning, and greenstuff it to make it flow better.
Staff hand is not fastened yet, I'm simply holding it in place with my finger in this image.

>>54430445
I think the trees look good, The height is right and it looks like you made it so you can remove them from the bases. You could have spaced them out a little bit to make more pieces of terrain from the same amount of trees, and for the models to be able to fit better in between.
The bases are a bit too thick for my taste though, did you use foam?

not very.
All you need is magnets, a drill bit the right size or an engraving bit for your rotary tool (if you have one it's gonna make your life easier) and some glue and putty.
Stuff you should have anyway basically.

Also don't forget to prep a master magnet on a stick or something to check polarity before you glue.

That's all you need.

WIP I NEED YOUR OPINIONS

i am trying to make a faithful reconstruction of another inquisitor who fought during the siege of vraks, Tojarni Piott.

pic related is what I have to work with on him, however in the 8th edition index inquisitors cant have a powerfist and a bolter. So i am unsure whether I model him with a rules-illegal bolter or if i give him an inferno/infernus pistol from a blood angels kit instead (along with his power fist)

Im also on the edge of whether or not to use my last metal deathwatch head (the OLD sculpt) or to give him a face like most inquisitors have
im leaning towards using the deathwatch head so that it has a happy home

Question is are gonna use the model to game or are you into the fluff?

That would be the deciding factor for me. If you don't intend to game, why do you care about the 8th edition codex?
It's gonna be different in the next one anyway.

If you want to use him for gaming you can still call him Tojarni, but maybe a younger/older version of him.

The third option would be to use something that could count as both, the old equipment and the currently legal one.

In any case I'd love to see an Inquisitor in powerarmor that isn't just a plastic spacemarine with a few extra bits. So alternate sources for powerarmor would be nice.
I'd look into Urban War maybe.

So I figure the self censorship is not that surprising, with GW being a super family friendly company that promotes an IP with the most inhuman regime possible, that thrives on xenophobia, war propaganda, religious bigotry and excessive violence.
Mentioning genitalia would be crossing a line.

>>54431790
>When GW used to have like 6 different local online content teams

God, I miss old GW sometimes.

CAn one of you guys post a Mantic Plague Abomination next to a GW Carnifex? I'm working on a Necromorph-themed GSC cult. Any suggestions for proxies of Nid beasties would be loved.

Ok all finished
Does this feel like a satisfactory inquisitor or are there any details I should add?

>>54432176
Works, but feels a bit utilitarian.
I'd expect an inquisitor to have a bit more bling.
Maybe a loincloth, tabard or cingulum would make him feel a bit more like a hero character.
Or at least a bit less like a space marine.

If he's gonna be gold like the guy next to him and the inqiusitors are the only golden boys in the army he'll stand out though. So depends a bit on the rest of your army.

From an WYSIWYG pov you got everything though. His weapons, power armor and the inquisition seal.

>>54432394
I plan on painting him white with gold trim so he should stand out in my mostly gray army. I am gonna double check if I have any nice flashy bitz of cloth or such for him though

>>54430478
GW layer paints were designed to be a little transparent, whereas the base paints are to be more solid.

Heh warhammer is gay

>>54424140
Greenstuff is okay, but a bit stiff for press molds. I use a 50/50 mix of Magic Sculp (not a typo) and green stuff. It makes it much softer.

Or you can use just green stuff but use more "yellow" than blue, that will leave it very soft and pliable as well, but take longer to cure.

Different colorblind anon here. That is a shitty joke test. There should be more reds that are spread out. If I didn't immediately recognize the I shaped pattern, maybe I wouldn't know what it was.

Picture is with wet ink but I haven't got a picture since the ink dried.

I want to make these guys look like a ship wreck, the colours I have are right, they look like they're covered in silt with rust underneath where visible. I'm going to paint the skulls with green shading so they look like they're water corroded. I'm going to paint the bolter casing like it's made of rotten wood by free handing in the detail and replace the power axe heads with anchors.

I'm a little considered about the bolter metal being the same silty green as the armour. I was considering trying to do a rusty metal but all the metal is already the rusty silted kind.

Any suggestions for the bolters?

I also made up some sea weed using cotton wool, PVA glue and green ink, which will be coming out from under the torso and clinging to parts of them. Want to give the idea that they've been underwater a long time not just taken a dip.

Do you guys paint your models then glue them together afterwards?

>>54432994

I assemble them first if they will be easy to paint once put together. Paint then assemble the parts that would be a pain in the ass to paint assembled. A good example of models that you paint before assembling are space marines who hold their gun across their chest.

>>54432975
Cut some hooks up and make the bolters spear guns, add air hoses/tanks to them. Replace the power fists with drills?
Be careful with the seaweed.

Has anyone ever painted something akin to like Flat Dark Earth on Space Marines? Considering doing a desert-themed chapter ala Raptors (or maybe just Raptors deployed in a desert environment) and sort of wanted to emulate the color that modern manufactures seem to have a fetish for in their firearms and accessories.

>>54433248
It had the stank but it was kinda comfy, soft carpet, light and warmth in the cold UK dark climate. Good times.

I

>>54432994

I only glue together torso halves and legs that come in multiple pieces. I only glue together all the parts to complete the model after they are finished.

This technique isn't going to work for anyone that wants to actually play games before their entire army is painted, zenithal highlights, or any sort of accurate highlighting.

>>54434663
As a Slaanesh fan I understand your frustration, but it would seem you just need practice and to git gud. That's why I have many more painted space marines and only a handful of daemonettes, but each one I've painted has gotten better. Yours look pretty good from the pics, lighting makes it a little hard to tell but you're clearly on the right path.

>>54434663

They look pretty good to me, buddy.

I just finished up some pathfinders. I did most of my carbine ones in this batch and saved most of my special weapons until next time.

My armies main armor colour is olive drab, but my firewarriors wear khaki suits. so i wanted to differentiate my pathfinders and make them look more elite/stealthy.

i painted the tank and firewarriors years ago, in early 6th, then 8th brought me back and decided to finish this army.

I first thought black jumpsuits, but didn't like how dark the models were.

Also yes i know i desperately need to do the bases.

help me /wip/, youre my only hope. im starting 40k, and making imperial guard. im getting anvil industry infantry and want to paint them to look like vietnam era fatigues. my question is do i paint the vehicles in the same color green, even thoug they will be camo, or will it look weird when the army is together if the vehicles are same color as army?
also, how do i know what color to get for the highlight on my base color? im getting valejo if that matters. thanks for any tips

>>54437113
Tanks being the same color as infantry shouldn't be a problem, if anything the consistency should make them fit together better. Also for highlighting, it depends on what you want to go for, if you want more cool colors get a more blueish green, for warmer get a more yellowish green.

>>54437178
i basically want my dudes to look like they are from the first predator movie, but im not a fan of the old catachan sculpts. yellow green be more appropriate for that?
and thanks for the vehicle tip, getting 1 can of spray will make it a lot easier

the idea being 6 fire warriors and 6 pathfinders to devilfish so i want it to be easier to easily identify which is which as they leave the transport.

Something warmer would work better for that so a yellow green would be good.

>>54437236
I think the pathfinders are much better than the fire warriors. The blue looks really good on them and the blue and green gives off a really alien vibe too. The fire warriors aren't bad either, just not executed as well. Maybe try some tan highlighting next time? Or maybe a darker khaki?

The devil fish and suit look really weird to me though. Why are they all one color? You should probably add something to break up the monotony. But if there's something there I can't see because if the photo then don't ruin a bad thing just because the Internet said so.

yeah they were the first models in this army. here are some later firewarriors. but even then they were done years ago. so my skill was less and yeah the pathfinders do look better. their suits turned out much better than i anticipated.


I need to add something to the vehicles. corrosion i think will help. but you're right the colours are olive green, dark olive green, and black. i wanted the dark tiger stripe on my suits and vehicles. but i need that accent on the vehicles and the line highlight i did to the suits doesn't look too good on camera and washes out the camo... as for things to make the suit pop. I'm hoping weapons will do that. but i lack any painted up suit weapons. also the cream colour on the antennas becomes more prevalent the higher ranked the pilot of the suit.

It also doesn't help that i fell for the devlin mud meme instead of using the right coloured washes for the right colours.
