Path to Enlightenment.png
2MB, 1260x910px
Now that I had a few days to sit down, I was able to slap together the 3d-printed terrain I had been working on. I actually needed to cut a new base out for the Path to Enlightenment, since the one I ordered ended up being too small. Luckily the tools and material were cheap, and everything turned out well. The Path to Enlightenment is not a perfect 1-1 representation due to freecad limitations and the limits of my own skill, but it gets the point across. 7"x7" base, and it fits almost perfectly.
>>
>>54508232
So long as the middle bits get cleaned up as you go, I really like the colors so far. Just too much grey in between the colors, but as I've never painted something like this I don't know if that's normal at this point or not.

>>54508247

And finally the Plasma Generator. The acrylic rod in the center looks a lot brighter blue when light is shining directly into it. It was the best I could do since I couldn't find a perfectly teal/turquoise transparent acrylic rod. Not a 1-1 representation once again, but it's clear what it is, at least. I think some of the sizing regarding the base compared to the top may be a bit off, but it looks close enough. I was looking forward to this one most of all. Maybe I'll make another one day, to have two or three. Unlike the other one, I can actually use these as Haemotrope reactors, since the people at the local store look at you funny if you suggest custom rules.

>>
>>54508354

I tried sanding it, actually. The material is quite tough, and wasn't taking to it well. Low grit sandpaper was just scratching and damaging them, while high grit wasn't having much of an effect at all. I actually got most of the layers out, but some were either too tough or in too small a place to sand down. I don't like some of the layers that got through, but it used to be far worse.

You did a good job. I figured you were using some of that filler goop they sell to smooth them out.

Has anyone tried shading Ultramarines/Crimson fists/any blue chapter with Drakenhoff Nightshade or another deep blue, rather than Nuln oil? Want to see how it looks, but I don't want to spend $10 on a shader I'll never use again if it doesn't look good.

its my first ever conversion, done around july of last year, after being in the hobby only like, 4 months. its a heavy stubber off of a stormlord kit since i built it as a baneblade.

I'm getting the vibe that a 1,2, and 3 will do pretty much everything I'll need including large model painting. But I think I'd be even fine with just a 1 and 2.

Ushabti bone for the fatigues, and maybe Eshin grey on the edges of the armor. I use London Grey from the Vallejo paint line for edge highlighting my black, so I don't know if you wanted GW paints or not.

You can make any paint you want into a wash or glaze.

it saves you when you don't want to buy washes you would barely ever use. like I wanted to orange plasma coils but I had no use for orange glaze other than that. So I did troll slayer orange and Lahaina medium and saved myself 5 bucks.

BULLgryn-anon with another update.

I've successfully attached all the hands to their weapons. There was some hassle making sure the angle of the wrist was correct for the intended pose (there's three, since the three models in a minotaur kit are all different) but it seems to have worked out.

Tomorrow I'll trim the greenstuff, reinforce the joints with glue and see what I can do about that knurled texture on the grip. I have a few ideas for hand-texturing greenstuff. I hope it works.

I would actually rather use this: http://www.rustoleum.com/product-catalog/consumer-brands/auto/primers/filler-primer-spray since the xtc is apparently rather a sealant. i guess you want to paint your models since this is WIP and therefore this is the stuff i use. I lean the prints with isopropanol since some filaments have additives in it which let the spray dont bond, then just spray the model and sand it smooth. Afterwards clean it with pressurised air if available. Depending on the layer height you might want to smooth it chemically before everything else but that is another endless hole of possibilities and depends on your material.

>>54514336
I honestly adore your painting style, but your pictures are always a bit shaky, sadly making most of the details unrecognizable.

>>54514768
Unsuprisingly, it looks really good. Especially enjoy the weathering on this guy and the strong contrast between the armour and the bits of skin. There a a few details, that you seem to have missed, such as the piece of metal in his palm, next to the gun's handle. Also i think that the cloth around his neck hardly stands out. In fact, it very much looks like a piece of his armour, and that is, in my eyes, a wasted opportunity for more contrast.

>>54514924
I suspect that the painting marine is mostly green stuff, with some parts from the 54mm Inquisitor range, mostly the old Artemis model. I've seen the Space Marine Statue sculpt up close, and it's much too detailed to be part of this conversion.

Thanks for the tips. I love how bright the orange is on the Immortal's cord and Scarab's eyes are. That's the result I'm after.

I've tried a few techniques and can't seem to get it right. I don't actually have any medium so I'll look into picking that up.

The potato for an image is the current scheme I have for each model (My praetorians were my guinea pigs so they won't ever see the light of day). The warrior on the right had the Fuegen Orange done last while the one on the left was Jokaero>Fuegen>Troll Slayers.

I see what you mean with the cloth, but I was intentionally keeping it similar to the armour, partly because these guys have so many details there isn't much armour left, and partly because I wanted to build on the contrast with the bright Daemon flesh. Food for thought though.

>>54515335
It's probably more laborious than it needed to be. Grey amour, highlighted as you'd normally do it. Sponged and painted on small amounts of vmc burnt umber for rust patches, highlighted the rust and also the paint under it. Then satin varnished followed by mig dark wash and AK light rust wash. The dark wash basically just all over then left for a while before coming back and removing excess. Took a bit of fiddling to get it looking how I wanted.

>>54512277
Just a comment about OSL in general. Ever tried using a torch in the day? Light is additive. If yellow marines are in an environment where their armour actually looks yellow, for instance day light, then there is probably too much light for the blue glow to be visible. If the blue glow is visible then the yellow needs to be painted as though it's in half light.
>>
>>54516072
Definitely adding more black and yellow hazard stripes. Going to have to look up some tutorials on paint chipping as my previous attempts all looked off. I know the good stuff has to be done before the base coat, so I'm sort of past that now and have to go with alternate methods if I'm to pull it off.

The simplest way to get paint chipping is use some foam, like the stuff you used to get from GW blisters, or the stuff you get from army transporting bags.

I did that once years ago. Washed thin over an ordinary flesh tone undercoat, highlighted up to bleached bone. Did not look healthy but did fit the part.

Damn nice anon. Looks proper grimy but still a lovely shade of yellow. Keep it up!
I'm trying to get out of a six-month painting slump myself so seeing others work is good to try and rekindle interest.

what's the best way get a consistent basecoat on a big model (corvus blackstar as proxy for GK stormraven) without an airbrush? I already primed the thing in black. I tried the drybrush method explained in https://youtu.be/74p9eGwRAog but it didn't really cut it for me.

>>54512302

>>54516625
Your brush control seems looks to be pretty decent. You should focus on getting full coverage however, as your blue looks very splotchy. Try doing multiple thin coats to give a strong and consistent color all over.

Other than that, pretty good stuff!
>>
>>54516625
your paint seems thick, water it down a bit or use some lahmian medium, other than that they seem like some decent enough minis, some paint overspill though, but that can be lessened with time.

Second minature Ive done. I like how it turned out. Few things I need to work on though. 1)the coat isnt as smooth as Id like. I THINK its because I didnt have an even prime. 2) A little too dark. Probably from the wash seeping into the uneven base due to poor priming. 3) After I get the collors fix i need to learn to dry brush and highlight. I feel like I missing out on to many details.

Thoughts?

For comparison. One on the left was the first one I did. It came from the 3 space marine paint set. So the paints were old snd the brush was medicore. I think its an improvement. Im working on a few more right now using different techniques to see what works best.
>>
>>54517401
you need to focus more on getting a smooth coat, right now your paint is really uneven and thick (it's espeically notitcable on the right marines shoulder and gun).
Also if you've not already watch a few tutorials about the basics, other than that just keep practicing
>>
>>54517401
Good try, but you should try:
Using a wash
Basecoating white/yellow or any bronzish color before applying gold
Other than that, follow some guides/watch tutorials

just kidding big boi I like the tank but I'd have went for a colour for the barrels etc. For me the bronze is a bit dark
>>
>>54518027

Fine. I call a temporary armistice with the Yankees. Now back to your post. Do you want the tank to look battle worn or clean? In guess thats the best way to decide if you want recess shadding or all over. As far as markings go I think it looks good as is. Maybe add some kill count markets to the others side if you think it would fit.

I want to build/convert 6 zzap guns and some anon on an Ork thread a while back posted his zzap guns which used old spark plugs.

>>
>>54518198
Not deleting for anyone's ridiculous sensibilities.

Yes, I realize the bronze is dark. However that's just a basecoat. Going to be highlighting with Skullcrusher brass, as well as doing a heat distortion effect.
>>
>>54518231
I already have an Aquila here, but yes, i think some kill markings on the hull are a fine idea. As for battle damage, I don't feel like having a lot, so I guess I'll do a recess shade. Maybe some light wear using that sponge trick.

Ooh, that's me. I applied the green with an airbrush starting with vallejo olive yellow (looks dark green on a black base coat) and blended up about 3 layers brightening each time as I go with yellow ochre and white.

Washed the whole thing in gw camoshade to bring the layers together into a more olive drab sort of green, painted the details/edge highlights and lined the recesses with nuln oil.

Here's a line up of some of the other WIP guys for you.

So ive been using this guide to paint my space marine eye lenses, but they keep looking crosseyed or the effect isnt coming through to me. I'm painting them green with: Caliban Green, Warpstone Glow, Moot Green, and a dot of Ceramite white.

First Sicarian I've painted, still new to this (Previously just done 2x10 Skitarii and a Dominus in Mars colours). Trying out my new colour scheme, plus the layered highlights on the sword and using texture paint. I know there's a couple spots on the blade where the Evil Suns Scarlet wasn't quite right, but otherwise I'm fairly confident this is my best mini yet. Think I'm tabletop standard yet, and/or any tips?

Would it be inconvenient to make a single base for a single squad of Inceptors?

Was thinking of making a wall or building side that they come bursting out from.

Pic related to the idea.
>>
>>54519499
Maybe White Scar instead of Ceramite white? It's layer, so it will look more like reflection tinted in colour of the base.
>>
>>54519921

For gaming purposes, yeah very inconvenient.

Many people make things like that but modular. Each inceptor could have their own separate base that fits into a larger scenic base with exploding wall and whatnot.

>>54512277

Not a huge fan of Imp Fists but goddamn I love seeing people paint their models after them. The yellow scheme is just too good to not appreciate.

Thank you so much for that anon, I did not think of that.

I would put more details on the armour (lenses, gold trims and stuff), but it is probably just my personal preference. Blade has great scheme.
But I am also pretty new to this, so I wouldn't take myself too seriously. See my infiltrators.
>>
>>54519928
That might be the case. The dot might be too bright or big, making them have bug eyes.
>>
>>54520013
The rank and file will have brighter bronze armour with silver trim, and the limb stumps and torso side fatigues will be green instead of black since I want to keep the green going. I just prefer a somewhat minimalist approach, but there are certainly cables and rims and such I could have painted if I could have been bothered to pick them all out. Blue Skitarii always look nice, although personally I'd stick some more wash on those Taser Goad handles.

Now trying to work out how I'm going to approach painting Goads with my red-orange thing. Probably something similar, just focussed more around the prongs.
