Gonna doublepost because hey, ain't many people around at this hour anyway.
First off we have an extremely simple conversion of an Island of Blood Rat Ogre - just added an exhaust pipe, clipped the tail and replaced the stabby bit with a flamethrower from some old Ork kit, flame came from the Silver Tower box set off a Blue Horror. The face was replaced with a Bullgryn Bone'ead, picked up a box today. The idea is that the lower face from the moustache will be replaced with a bunch of cables or tentacles. Gonna need to trim all the fur and whatnot, but otherwise this is an easy one.

>>54461773
Left could do with some better highlighting on the armour I think

>>54461773
Try painting some scripture on their armour.

>>54461801
Following up from that, we have the Chaos Ogryn that I picked up today. Since I managed to get my hands on the Bullgryn kit I found that the Ripper guns were exactly what I was looking for, I gave the drill the chop and added a beefier looking one from the Ork Killa Kans. Not too sure about the shoulder pad though, but it looked like he needed some extra armour.

>>54461801
Drop the flame, it looks weird.

Nah, they are supposed to look like that. The Erebus armor has already a lot of scripture and Kor Phaeron isn't specially devoted to the chaos gods, he's just hungry from power

reposting because now I need some advice. I want to shorten the blade because it's too long so I'm thinking about taking about a half inch off and filing down the hilt a little bit, but how should I reattach the sword blade? just superglue is going to snap right off the second someone looks at it funny

>>54461926
Is this a DA dude? If the sword is too long, just replace the whole sword.

>>54461950
The sword blade is perfect for how I imagined it, and the pommel and handle are also perfect, it's just a bit long for my taste.

>>54461904
What red did you use for the armor?
Looks good btw, always great to see other WB players

>new here, can someone explain this red bloke meme to me

In 1988, when Citadel Miniatures advertised the second round of metal Space Marines for Warhammer 40,000, they named them after the cast of the 1960's Batman TV serial. There was a Brother (Adam) West, Brother (Burt) Ward, Brother (Burgess) Meredith, etc. One marine, Brother (Yvonne) Craig, is reloading his bolt gun. He's holding the fresh magazine up next to his helmet, as if he were talking to it. There's a Russ Nicholson illustration in White Dwarf 105 based on this model, although Nicholson portrayed him as bearing a scanner instead.

Around 1990, when Citadel published their four-part catalogue, they dropped the silly names, and the marines got part numbers and more descriptive, practical names ("Bolter #2", "Plasma Gun #1", etc.). Brother Craig was nowhere to be found, however. You were lucky, then, if you picked one up in a blister, as he doesn't have a (published) part number like everybody else. The model is now fairly difficult to find.

A couple of years ago, when I posted a picture of Brother Craig here on /WIP/, some clever anon grabbed it, and, borrowing from the Cartoon Network show Ed, Edd, 'n' Eddy, portrayed him as having a conversation with his magazine the same way Johnny does with Plank, his best-friend-who-is-only-a-face-drawn-on-a-board. Since then, several other painters who came across this model painted him up. Occasionally, when I have the opportunity to start a /WIP/ thread, I'll post a collage of them at the top; there are currently nine Johnnies in it, including two Blood Angels, an Ultramarine, a Mantis Warrior, a Dark Angel, and even an Auric Patrician!

The white citadel primer was fucked up and I end up with a model looking like covered with snow. How do I remove paint cheaply and/or quickly without damaging the model? Never have to do it before

Hey lads, new to the hobby and am probably going to buy and paint the Tau Start Collecting! box.
I am looking for brushes on the principle of "buy once cry once", so I'm thinking of just getting sable brushes.
So far I'm thinking a #1,2, and 3 should be fine, but some kits include more (i.e. Da Vinci 5359 has #0,1,2,3,4, and 6 for less than Winsor & Newton does for just a #0,1,2, and 3).
Would a combination of brushes like that solve most of my paintting needs aside from dry brushing?
Any (you)'s greatly appreciated

>>54462327
Thanks for the rundown.
If I wanted to get my hands on one, where would I go about it? eBay? Recasters?

>How do I remove paint cheaply and/or quickly without damaging the model? Never have to do it before

Can I guess your model is plastic? If you're in the US, most people will recommend soaking in concentrated Simple Green or non-actone nail polish remover, followed by vigourous scrubbing with an old toothbrush.

If you're in the UK, I hear brown Dettol works well, but there's one anon here who achieved remarkable results on some old First Edition plastic scouts with Wilko's paint and varnish remover.

>If I wanted to get my hands on one, where would I go about it? eBay?

Sometimes you'll see one on eBay. Any time I spot one, regardless of how ridiculous the price (some sellers realize what they have), I'll post it here. Haven't seen one in several weeks, though.

If you're a member of any 40K trading forums or Facebook groups - especially those that traffic in "Oldhammer" models from the late 80's and early 90's - I almost think that'd be a better shot.

>Recasters?

I can't believe there'd really be a market for that, and you probably don't want any of the ones I've made unless you're really psyched about filling in bubbles with green stuff.

what do you guys think?

Hey /WIP/, I'm working on a Necromorph themed GSC army. I want to add in some Nid beasties, but I'm having trouble thinking of easy conversions. Anyone know of any Fantasy/LOTR minis that are good size matches for things like Carnifexes, Hierodules, and other bigger Nids?

the only thing i can think of is the possible use of small masking tape to get the checkering on that black and yellow chessboard bit a bit more even, but they look fantastic regardless

>>54462882
that's why I traded my Nids against Tau. just way too much shit to paint...

>>54462593

I'll probably be dialing back the red as I add more boyz, it just felt like a good choice to have on the rokkit packs and I also wanted to try having red on their sluggas. I'll probably stop doing red on the sluggas so much. Most of the army doesn't have red at all, the only other unit that has a lot of red instead of a spot here and there are my Tankbustaz, for similar reasons as the Stormboyz.

I tried with a single one. But using black modeling mass, it's always going to be hard to see.
As I said, I ended up being lazy and didn't put in as much effort as I would have needed to make it look really good. They will be standing next to 20 diaz daemonettes anyway.
I still have some left to do this process on, but if I'd make another troop I'd probably go for dfc instead.

How should I highlight retributor gold and leadbelcher? Working on some post heresy night lords. Tried highlighting the retributor gold with a mix of ret. gold and a tad of leadbelcher but it looked like brown musturd and I wasnt impressed with how it looked.

Yes, it is supposed to be just that.
Simply spread modeling mass out on the base and poke into it with a fitting tool. It is kind of high and I pushed the models into it a little bit. What is left is to cover the rest of the base with texture paint and maybe some small rocks.

Thoughts on this progression? Marine, Sergeant, Officer.

I'm on the fence about the marine's faceplate.

>>54465036
It looks really cool.The skull faceplate looks kind of messy though.

>>54464628
For the miniatures I use a 1/1 mix of greenstuff and aves apoxie sculpt, which is less sticky and a bit nicer to work with. For me at least, I recommend not getting the black version.
On the bases I used aves alone, but I can't recommend it for anything complex as it is kinda crumbly.
As for the greenstuff, look for a version that has the blue and yellow parts seperated, otherwise you have to cut away the line where they are connected.
>>54464588
For doing that yourself, I first cut the detail away from the model, to get an even area, in which I can drill more easily. The drilling is so the little metal ball I use as basis for the breast stays in position. You could skip this step, but I find it harder to model a "believable" breast without it. Cover the ball with a little bit of modeling mass and work the form into the rest of the model. Keeping it round takes effort, I didn't always put in. I let it dry before trying to fix on the corset and bra area, to not mess up the form, but considering the weird shapes of the bras, it might have been easier to work them in directly.

when people say they're "magnetising" something what does that mean? I assumed it's a painting technique?

>>54465463
Putting magnets in it so that you can assemble it with more than 1 loadout or even pose.

>>54465481
so instead of the parts being held by glue it's held by magnets?

>>54465493
exactly. For example on the arms of a space marine captain so you can swap his arm with energy sword with an arm equipped with power fist so you don't have to own two miniatures to have both options.

The magnets required for that are called "neodym magnet" and you can find them on ebay and of course in well sorted hobby stores. They are dirt cheap too.

>>54465533
oh that's awesome, thanks for the explanation

>>54465493
Yeah, so for Tau, let's take the crisis suits, they have a MASSIVE amount of ways you can kit them out, so people often opt to put magnets on the weapon bits and the areas on the model's arms/jetpack where they would join. Then you can just switch them out whenever to whatever you like.

>>54465069
I found that using vaseline lets you avoid the problem with the putty sticking to everything, very helpful if you use any amount of milliput.
On the flip side, now you have a problem with greasiness on the model, tools fingers etc.

Any link to where you purchased those metal balls?

>>54465493
Precisely. It pays to occasionally have a couple, and it can be really fiddly with some parts and models, but for larger stuff like tanks and large Mecha there's no reason not to do it. Pic related is my first Imperial Knight. Head still disassembled because there was a casting problem and the mounting point didn't form properly so I'm trying to figure out what to do about that, armour panels off to paint separate and all the weapons are magnetised. There's 5 variations, so I got about £375's worth of options for £75.

First attempt at free handing the Lamenters symbol. What do you guys think?

>>54465621
For the metal balls, check greenstuff world, I also recommend the firm 3mm modeling brushes.
I already use vaseline, greenstuff simply tends to be sticky, it's the material. I don't have a problem with greasiness though, maybe you use to much or the wrong kind.

Stop priming in black and cut horizontal strips of tape that run parallel with one another making stripes and use flat spraypaint. Then you can do checkered by running more tape along the Y axis of the stripes.

The lance is bent. Thin your paints a bit, looking at the shield. A wash and some highlights wouldn't be bad, and I'm not sure about the pattern on the cloth. Checkers, I suppose? Try drawing the pattern beforehand, then fill out the empty spaces.

It's a bit lost in the bike, at least at the moment unpainted.

Maybe either move the Tau shield bit farther out from the bike body, or replace it with something bigger?

Looks good, but the bulkiness of the bike makes it possibly just tech greebles. And that might be fixable with paint.

Prime in grey (for darker schemes) and white using this primer. From there you can use army painter sprays, GW sprays or test some flat finish cheaper brands like rustoleum but avoid krylon. Tape off sections of the model with paper and spray cloaks red from white etc and wash. The same technique is used with an airbrush but given you can control how much paint flows you use slightly watered down black wash to create shadows in a white primed model's crevices. Afterward you lightly mist the color which doesn't conceal the work you did.

>>54465036
Why does the officer have a Crux Terminatus on his shoulder? That's for terminators. It confers a 5++ which that model doesn't have.

>>54468096
>I wonder if any real pistols have had a sabre style hand guard

Couldn't find any online, but I did find some interesting designs.
The main reason for it was that I simply didn't want to cut his entire arm off (as it would involve having to remove the red cable), + I thought the grip guard would look pretty cool and unique.

>>54468205
The crux terminatus isn't why terminators have invulnerable saves. And any marine trained in the use of tactical dreadnought gear will put the crux on his regular powered armour as well, to let everyone know that he's a bad dude.

>>54468205
Because the Crux is also the sign of Terminator Honours aka Veteran Status.

>>54468415
>>54468205
>The crux terminatus isn't why terminators have invulnerable saves.
Since when? Last time I read a codex, the Crux contained a fragment of Big E's armour.

How the fuck do you remove mold lines from fine detail parts on like genestealers -like the inset 'ruffled' parts and the mold line cuts across the raised parts perpendicual?

>>54468440
That's entirely symbolic, and has no functional purpose. Also in the olden days the only crux badges with the fragments of the emperor's armour in them were the ones worn by terminator captains.

Anyways, terminator armour has a 5++ because it's just that thicc.

>>54468440
> the Crux contained a fragment of Big E's armour

That's a myth. The actual reason for the inv. save is the terminator's in-built force field generator.

>>54468205
>Why does the officer have a Crux Terminatus on his shoulder?

The crux represents the terminator honours, i.e. the rights to wear terminator armour.

>>54468440
According to what I've read Space Marines receive the Crux Terminatus as a badge of honor signifying veteran status before they can begin the training required to wear Terminator armor. Also not all of them incorporate pieces of the Emperor's armor, only some special relic ones have it.

Make sure to post your /wip/ when you get to that too, I enjoy the thought of my work being somebody's inspiration. Especially since there's way too little big bad guys in big armours.

>>54468440
Only the ones in Terminator suits.

But if you qualify to wear Terminator armour in general, you get to wear the Cruz Terminatus on your armour to show that you are a senior and respected Marine.

It also used to confer a bonus attack, because you could buy it as wargear.

>>54468362
that's a big chin

>>54468611
for you

>>54468554
>It also used to confer a bonus attack
well, the bonus attack represented the fact that only badass marines have terminator honours

Terminators had two attacks, while most other marines at the time (including regular veterans!) only had one.

I don't think they do, which isn't as rare as you think (esp. among BA successors).
For example, Flesh Tearers don't differentiate since they have so few marines that every one has to be able to fill in on any squad type on a moment's notice. It's not too far fetched to think the the Lamenters (who have even fewer marines than the Flesh Tearers as of current fluff) would be forced to the same.

Decided to mount a stand for a drone on his base, just to make the base a little more interesting (it's just a singed impact crater)

Entering this guy in a local painting competition at the end of the month.

It's 100* outside, luckily AC exists so I don't feel it. The only thing that could make it extra comfy is if it were 45*, cloudy, and with a light drizzle outside.

>>54469904
>Odd pose
These suits aren't meant for the 3-point landing that I knew I wanted to do. The base wasn't big enough for me to sculpt a crater he could fit wholly inside, so now it looks like he's clambering out of it as a follow up to his deepstrike.

Haha you're far too kind, this is just my phones camera on the "pro" setting, zoomed to 1.8 with the brightness at -6 under a day bulb. I'm using a Samsung S7 if it helps! As for the angles, I'm sure it's accidental, but I try to use angles that make things look more imposing or interesting.

>Does anyone know how to make a good ship style steering wheel?
You could look into sourcing a wheel from a carriage or a heavy weapon of some sort. Just have to add the handles.
Could also try a wheel from a tank for a more sci-fi look or if you don't have and bits a button might do in a pinch.

>>54470210
>What is "proper Battlemechs" to you?
ones that look good

the battletech miniatures were dated even when I got into the game

>>54470219
use 30K custards, they actually have vehicles that aren't recycled from other factions

>>54470219
It's because Battletech isn't horrifyingly grimdark. Sure, there's a theme of technological decline with lostech and a hopeless element from the Clan invasion, but things aren't all spiky and religious and shit. 'Mechs are treated almost like modern combat vehicles, with practical cockpits and flat paneling

>>54470219
He's Cataphractii Terminator height, but is in a bit of a walking position - upright standing, he would be a bit taller than a Cataphractii. Definitely taller than a Space Marine.

Yes. It is.

>>54470654
no, it's not bad, the choice of blue for the ehh...whatever those rope thingies are called, is a bit of an odd choice and sort of stands out a bit too much. But over all good attempt! Finish the base up!

Do you think that head would look alright on a tech-marine body? The open faced one in the top right, or would it look too bulky on a normal marine body?

I've been looking for a head to use for Master of the Forge, Argos, who is described as having heavy cybernetic reconstruction on his face due to wounds in his history of fighting Genestealers, and I think this might work well.

>>54470786
Top right would look baller on a tech marine imo

>>54470786
Primaris heads are the same size as regular marines. Pretty much all the helmets and heads are interchangeable.
I replaced all the bare heads on mine with heads off the wolves sprues.

Anyone know how convert this old vehicle to fit in with modern orks?
Seems like the base is an old truck so it should either start on a truck or battlewagon then have a tower built up on the back. The tower itself though looks pretty outdated and needs a serious design overhaul.

>>54470686

Thanks, it's pretty hard as a self-proclaimed perfectionist to settle with something like this as a finished product, I'm trying to shift into the mentality that i'll eventually be able to paint to something like >>54468362 given a year or two

>>54470687

Yeah I definitely thought that too after it had dried. I've actually just changed it to Warpstone Glow and it ties (pun not intended) it all together a lot better

If it helps light colour schemes are a bitch to do right, I came back into the hobby with an intention to do White Scars but they all looked like shit. Switched over to Black Templars and I started to get better almost immediately.

To this day I still avoid anything with large blocks of white and yellow schemes (though with the Primaris I'm going to do them as White Scars and see how I get along)

>>54471452
>The tower itself though looks pretty outdated and needs a serious design overhaul.
It's just a regular old tower made of steel beams. If you find a railway model or toy that should do the trick.
And the rest looks like a bunch of loudspeakers. If you don't put medieval looking roofing on the platform where I presume the weirdboy stands it should look up to date already.

Looks a bit like sonic weaponry, really.

>>54471686
The fluff says that the tower uses various machines and speakers to amplify the weirdboy's power so something like the the mad max truck here >>54471653 might work. Could replace the weirdboy with a goff rocker too, have him performing a concert from atop the tower.

Yeah the sonic weaponry thing was kind of a brainfart in terms of what to look at for inspiration.

The currently real life versions look a bit boring.

Your photography is way above par, really great.

Your painting needs some massive work though, why not watch duncan's videos? Its not hard with someone like dunc teaching you how to do a decent tabletop job,

As for your scheme the colours clash wildly for a weird aesthetic, Hazard stripes need work use artists tape for this and watch tutorials on it or read the technique in the last white dwarf.

No point taking such great photos without learning to paint properly.

But that's definitely tabletop quality. I'd say even above.
