I never noticed that until you pointed it out, but you're right! Their heads are tiny. Especially next to their enormous shoulder pads. Predating WoW by many years, too!

If I dip my x-acto in water and clean resin mould lines does this decrease air cancer?

>>54539036

>tfw probably breathed in some resin dust

I keep a damp rag nearby to wipe the dust and line remover on.

>>54539036
Resin is dangerous only when in a fine dust

>>54539091
Some resin is more brittle and chalky than others-

Still not sure if it changes anything

>>54539106
your scillia and mucus will catch the resin chunks and you'll cought it up or shit it out.

>>54539106
Yeah, that increases dust output. Dremel or scrape your resin wet. Then rinse it to keep those dust particles away from your lungs. Or anyone else's, for that matter.

Another Intercessor Squad with Sergeant completed.

>>54539273

What are army painter paints like?

>>54539342
Personally, I'm a big fan. People that complain that they are watery, but those people clearly haven't shaken the bottle properly. I'm not a great painter, but I definitely like the paint more than Citadels, but Citadel have all of those lovely technical, tint and effect paints.

>>54539404

Only some of my colors are watery, like the black, and the wateriness doesn't affect their coverage. I WANT them to be watery.

For some reason most of my Army Painter paints are extremely thick, like the company just squirted as much paint as they could cram into the bottle. I'd prefer the paints to be thinner.

>>54539494
I'm not excellent at thinning paint, I get it right sometimes, but not always. I think the paint being thick is a good thing though, because when I do get it right, it goes a very long way. I've been using the same bottles for nearly a year.

>>54539273

Why are they all in the same pose?

And lol @ the 2nd row Marine on the left. Looks like he's questioning the decisions that brought him to that point.

>>54539273

im kinda confused about how to follow up the squads, im eager to paint the shoulders black for ravenguard or carcharodon, but blue pauldrons are giving me some time to think about changing the colour scheme, letting the grey base as it is. No idea how to proceed or what colours to use

I split squads A and squads B into different groups to make it easier to knock them out a bit quicker, they're all from Know no Fear and Dark Imperium, the Sergeants are kitbashed from Lieutenants. The look like this when mixed with differently posed models, I just haven't got another picture to show it right now.

>>54539685
These are my homefluffed Emperor's Children replacement when Cawl plays with Traitor Geneseed. An anon here named them The Phoneticians Resurgent.

In these videos, when Duncan applies the wash. Does he just wash the entire crest on the chest or does he selective wash each recess on it?

Why not just wash the whole miniature?

This was actually my first time painting facial hair, this is what I did.

1. paint his face normally
2. take some grey and black paint, water it down (A LOT) and start applying lighlty, use lighter grey first on the raised areas, and then use darker grey/black for the recesses
3. wash his beard/stubble with a bit of seraphin sepia, to make it look more brownish/transparent

>mfw I'm planning on painting at least 15 of them
>and then an entire IG army

well, see you all again in 20 years I guess

>>54539926
depends,

if it has enough texture you can wash the entire thing, but a wash on a flat surface can cause stains and pooling or tint the surface colour. so you can selectively paint each recess.

or you can just do a wash over the entire surface and then go over the flat areas with the base colour to pop it out.

its situational based on colour, effect and model.

>>54540596
You'll paint every guardsman like that? That feel.

Every model in my army has to be eavy metal quality or my autism goes nuts at me for not being "perfect".

Such were the days.

>>54540632
Nice! The models are really fun. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have so far.
A word of warning, the plastic is really hard, so chopping apart things for conversions requires a saw or strong clippers. And I think the hard plastic also means polystyrene cement glue doesn't work well. I use super glue to put the models together, with lots of pinning for conversions when I'm swapping around arms.

>>54540654
they still do that, at times, in WD. whenever they have a 'eavy metal bit, that is.

>>54540733
It's much rarer now. Instead it's all about getting people to buy their step-process paints.

>>54540770
>monopose
>monopose everywhere
No

>>54540770
I think it's down to the proportions and the fact that the larger model means you can see how colourful and details they are.

yep, unfortunately. I can hope for a 'eavy metal guidebook someday for all their advanced techniques.
>>54540770
because they're newer. Though I like some of the older marks of armor better.

Does anyone remember that old hint that painting in a room lit with blue light would help you paint your Minis better or am I just insane?

>>54540832
The first non-monopose come out this weekend iirc. Reivers

>>54540832
yes there will be a multipose box of intercessors but everything else will be monopose, which is gay as fuck

>>54540770
I'd say the improved proportions plus posing makes them look a tad bit better. Johnny is an exception though as he is the most beautiful.

yellow light cast by tungsten ruins your perception of gradient, sop it's harder to highlight and wash and do all neat shit (if you're good at that).

Next up is that hammer-toed Helbrute from the Dark Vengeance box. I really think that Helbrutes in general are sort of silly, so I wanted to sort of bridge the gap a little between them and regular dreads. This one uses parts from the Venerable Dreadnought kit. It's gonna take a bunch of green stuff to make it look nice, though.

So, Redemptor. Solid kit all around, I'd say, but it's not without issues.

- Main gun and secondary gun can be magnetized no problem, there are no shared parts between them. Stormbolters/frag launchers should be doable, but more fiddly. I only did the main gun, because I am lazy.
- The front armor and the beer gut could be left off. In fact, the upper armor is only clipped into place to begin with. Leaving off the beer gut would leave you with two awkward knobs that need shaving off though.
- Legs are fiddlly to pose because they are only slid into place, with no pegs to hold them. I had to pin them with brass rods for working out a semi-decent pose.
- All the armor can be slotted into place for fitting purposes and holds sorta well. In the pic all the armor save some hip guards are held in place that way, allowing for easy removal for basecoating.
- The mini-turrets for the stormbolters tend to rattle a lot and should probably be glued into place.
- One foot has flexible toes, the other is fixed, which is kinda shitty.
- Both arms feel like they have one joint too little. Something like a turning bit above the ellbow would have been nice.

The contemptor is probably still better for conversions.

I actually wouldn't mind it if they had other marks of armor and weapons, but they don't, and thats honestly its biggest turn-off for me. I love the scale and new things, but I also love the old types of armor and weapons.

Paint question:

Thinning paints is important but how do I 'thicken' my paints? When my paints sit on my wet palette for a while they absorb so much water I'm left with a wash. What do?

Picrelated

Hey /wip/, I just picked up some blank dice. What could I do to mark their faces that would survive the usual clattering against surfaces and each other that dice go through?

>>54541485
put less water in your sponge or whatever you are using below the baking paper

>>54541485

Add more paint from the pot to your pallet.

Would all purpose cleaner, limescale remover or caustic soda work to strip models?

Yeah, about that...

>>54541517
are they plastic?
Yo could try transfering toner from a laserprint via pressing iron.
Saw a tutorial on that once, I imagine if you fuse the toner to the plastic it should hold better than varnish or whatever else you could do.

Here's my hobby space.

If you want to become a better painter, the first thing you want to do is kill shadow shadow. The circular lamp I have is fucking amazing for this. It's a slightly warmer colour than I wanted, but the white lights elsewhere in my room almost completely mitigate this.

When you see Duncan paint, his shit is always well-lit.

>>54541485
You're over thinning your paints in the first place, if you want to actually thicken your paints then you'll need some "medium", essentially it's just pigmentless acrylic carrier. The name changes up but I use Vallejo "Matte Medium"

>>54541542
isopropanol is cheap and good for removing acrylic

>>54541550
They're plastic, yeah. I'll look into that

>>54541542
It isn't an all purpose cleaner, but I get A+ results with denatured alcohol. Smells like the devils sweaty balls though.

>>54541581
>>54541631

Just going off of what i have available right now , lots of random cleaning chemicals , wondering if any will work

>>54541659
It's best to wait until you can get what will do the job. You don't want to ruin your mini.

>>54541659
all purpose will be fine if it's unvarnished and you scrub hard but do not use anything caustic or it'll fuck up your mini (same goes for the limescale remover)

>>54541659
What >>54541669 said. Your minis aren't going anywhere, so don't worry about it.

>>54541669
probably, just bored and like 60 miniatures with mediocre paintwork from when i was 12 are lying around.

>>54541695
this go for plastic or metal or both?

>>54541780
Both, worst case scenario your plastic mini melts, the metal will bubble and corrode. Trust me this has happened to me on both occasions

Clearly a vile heathen Etherial, whose species-machinations are not predicated on trust, as is the Imperial Way, but on subjugation. Ne'er shall the Etherial believe in her underkin as she believes in her own rightenousness. Her peoples are but tools, held in surreptitious thrall, to be used until blunt and broken, then discarded just as the next comes fresh off the production line. That they believe they are working of a volition that is their own, I should pity them as is my nature as a human being. Alas I do not pity the xenos, for I do not suffer them.

Seems to be globbed on quite heavy, might be worth stripping of paint first just to make sure you get a good finish

I'm new to painting miniatures and am having a he'll of a time getting the right consistency when thinning my paints. Does anyone have any tips? I usually way overdo it and need like 40 coats or don't water it down nearly enough. Is there an easy way to tell how much is enough?

>>54544140
depends. what paints are you using?

for example, if you're using citadel layer then you only need about a 0.25/0.5:1 water/paint ratio. if you're using citadel base then a 1:1 mix is about right.

>>54544140
if you're the measuring type then thin a new pot of Citadel down by 60% of its volume with water (so 12ml of paint with 7.2ml of water) . I do this with all my new paints and I very rarely have to do any extra thinning down (unless I want it really watery)

>>54544113
They are pretty thicc but honestly i am pretty meh as a painter so it aint worth the extra work

I'll just be happy to have a tabletop quality squad fully painted in the correct colors

thanks, i blatantly stole the pattern from Canadian forces Griffon helicopters since i'd see them flying around, and i always attributed them a role similar to a devlifish. I'm working on highlighting to make the pattern pop a bit more.

the tiger stripe pattern is repeated on crisis suits (to mixed results due to poor edge highlighting), and the infantry just have the solid olive drab armor with khaki or bluish grey fatigues depending on role.

So while i'm on the fence on the suits, i do like the look on the vehicles, which you can tell i like a lot so it works out, the picture above being a 1500pt army.

>>54544236
Fair enough, still a freshly stripped and primed mini will always be more durable than one with paint on older paint. Something to consider

>>54545075
Yup

I've posted it a few times on here though with updates so you might have already seen it

How many of you anons honestly paint on the sprue and how effective is it?

>>54545847
I pretty much do so wherever I can and it's effective as fuck at getting the based details down and getting the highlights and shades on the actual piece. The trick is to then assemble the model before the final highlight. This way you can tie in the separate parts together to get a unified mini.

Only drawback is whenever you cut it off the sprue then need to sand or file an area down and you have to redo that section, but it's better than pissing about trying to get a fully assembled mini in various angles to get to details.

>>54545847
I know a few do

I personally won't because I prefer to assemble them and use lamps to determine lighting effects

But I've seen spur painting work pretty well for most u just have to clean it up a bit once you are done

Not him but additional paint question.

How do you determine when you should actually start thinning your paint as opposed to leaving it as it is?

>>54545982
When it goes all clumpy off of the brush, it should flow like water and there should be no resistance on the brush.

Finished my first squad of chadvampires, first unit I've painted in 4 years, I half fucked them from the start with priming badly but in the end they look decent.
Any pointers?

>>54545982
Well desu some paints are already a little thinner than others so it's kinda up to the person, I usually look at the top of whatever you are working with brush wise and if it's sorta globbed on then u need to thin it if it becomes a wash the second you put it on something then it's too thin

So it's something u gotta figure out for yourself

Looking good, just go a little easy with the edge highlight on the top intake. The colour should be doing the work not the size of the highlight itself. Love the bases too

>>54546064
The problem with the intakes is that my primer gunked up the sides so that basically it was smooth on the top of the head and I was doing my best to draw them back on.

>>54546119
Ah fair enough

>>54546028

>>54546318
Well said, I've always had a soft spot for the classic Blue/Yellow Ultramarines too. If I didn't hate Smurfs so much I would have done my Primaris in those colors

>>54544831
Patience is key. You're not gonna become a great painter overnight or even within a year. More than that, especially when you're new, making a good miniature will take time, be it layering on multiple coats or freehanding or highlighting. Just set small goals for yourself with each miniature, or each squad.

That said, it's also about knowing how and where to take shortcuts. Duncan's painting videos are good for a lot of these, since they seem more aimed at getting a tabletop force ready quickly.

How do I hold components while painting? I've tried blutac-ing them to paper clips but they just rotate around and I've resorted to just holding things and painting things a half at a time.

>>54546457
superglue a small piece of sprue somewhere where it won't make a mark, if you use a very small amount of superglue it'll be sturdy enough to paint but will just snap off when you are done

>>54546457
drill a hole where it doesn't matter and glue them onto a wire. Then stick that wire into a piece of cork to hold it or put it into your hand drill.

Stickier brand of blu tac (I use actual Blu Tac from Bostik which is stickier than the generic white tack I used from 3M), a round toothpick (not those shitty flat ones), a good solid connection with the tack (cover entire arm joint, etc), and delicate touch to not push the part off the tack.

It is fiddly, but it's easier to do this than glue or drill every piece.

>>54544831

Paint something olive drab green like those two images you linked. It seems like that shade of color plus brown wash is the easiest combo to make look good. If you're painting some shit like white or yellow it's gonna look ass.

How could I make a Primaris version of the pre-Curze Night Lords happen, tg?

Both from a modelling perspective, and a fluff perspective without being special snowflake shadow the hedgehog marines

>>54547103
>modelling perspective
just cut down on the iconography (filing chestplates flat, etc) and stick to pre-legion iconography

>and a fluff perspective without being special snowflake
"loyalists but made from traitors" are always going to be special snowmarines

>>54547103
Seems like with the new fluff primaris from traitor legions are a lot less snowflake y than before so I don't think it's a problem..

>>54547103
Fluff is pretty simple, Gulliman told Cawl not to use any Traitor Primarch geneseeds but it's implied he might have because the AdMech don't answer to Papa Smurf.
Not only that but we've got shit like the Red Scorpions which are implied to be created from Fulgrim's geneseed.

As far as modelling try to find some Night Lord-y iconography as well as colour schemes but just slightly changed up.

>>54547143

With Guilliman introducing the Reivers, he's admitting terror tactics are effective.

Could be a reason for Cawl to raise a chapter of Not Lords behind Guilliman'a back. Then when girlyman finds out he can't be fucked purging them.

>>54543730

How much primer is too much primer?

>>54548934

That's too much in some spots. You can keep going and paint over it, but it is thick.

>>54548934
Better question; Why aren't you painting it less assembled? It alleviates alot of worries from the priming process. Get an oven mitt, hold a straightened paper clip while you heat up an end and carefully press it into the bit of the mini in unseen places as a way to hold them while priming and painting. If the model is resin do it where it's well ventilated or with a mask. Metal you'll need a pin vise. When you're done using them you clip them off flush and assemble normally.

>>54548934

You're trying
Now just prime the helmets white, stop making such dirty washing and do your armor's line work in black paint instead of just wash. Use the wash still but just water it down and get to a base color that's a GW range, not the grey of the primer. Then your highlights wont look like shit.

Who's the best youtube airbrush-guide-guy? Mine should be in next week and I'm excited to finally be able to prime in something less than 90% humidity.
I've been watching the Nextlevel painting guy but I get triggered because he is like a carbon copy of me (vapes, obnoxious, has a poster of sonic displayed prominently in room ironically). I like his work and tips seem decent but I have difficulty deciphering if I should thin my paints to "gangster" levels or if they're still in the range of "OG" thickness

Although with the Arthurian theme, I'm thinking of making an additional, non codex-compliant company of "questing knights" who are deployed independently, and can be attached to any given force, or completely solo. Basically an excuse to make a lot of conversions and character models, with lots of cloaks, personal heraldry all over their armour, and a melee and shield focus. I'd use them as any kind of officer/captain/company champion if I used them in game, just with bonus fluff.

>>54549537

Apparently those chests are modified Mk IV, but the groin flaps and studs make them look entirely like Mk III. The only way they could possibly be Mk IV is because the chestplate is blank, just like the assault Mk IV armor is on Destroyers.

>>54549279
Right there with you brother. They call me mean now because I'd rather show them then have them give me money to do it.

Came to the conclusion that I have to stop that because then I never have time to do my own stuff, and it irritates the hell out of me to play with stuff not done.

"But you're so good at it, why not just do your stuff too?"
Dumbass, that's not how the flow of time works.

I've even got one guy that, no joke, after they got back from an event he showed me an unassembled model and asked if I wanted to put it together for him.

To be fair, I jab at him because he can't figure out how the fuck glue works for some reason, but there's limits.

>>54549645
i love that idea because i have always wanted to do the same but was to restricted by fluff rules

>>54549205
is the tac squad 15mm? when I used to paint back in like 2007 everything was the same size apart from heroes, apparently there are 28mm figures now??

>>54549500
A man after my own heart.

>>54549855
Tacticals and Primaris are both 28mm. Primaris just have unfucked proportions.

Does anybody else hate painting bases?

I've got 5 wolf scouts, a primaris captain and an Iron priest all finished APART from the bases. I really need to get my shit together.

>>54549500
Looks cool. Post more pics of your works.

>>54549947
You can make great bases with minimal efforts. The trench bases I make for my IW is a thick coat of Devlan Mud, Nuln Oil, bit of Nurgle's rot in some recesses to look like gaz puddles, and some ardcoat.

Do it when you're waiting for some washes to dry, and do a chain, it'll go faster.

>>54549855
>>54549884
To clarify, at some point marines were switched to larger bases. Some older marine figs still come with the smaller bases. Primaris all come with the larger bases, primaris HQ come with even larger bases.

>>54549493
>premium shit.jpg

>>54550000
so the tac marine squad I would have painted years ago would be half the size of what they are now?

>>54550000
Well done anon

>>54550069
Not half the size you dum dum. You'd just have to change the bases. From 25 to 32 mm.

Primaris are another faction.

>>54550083
sorry mate, I'm just confused

so it's just the size of the bases that have changed?

>>54550069
Just the bases, nothing else

>>54550092
Yep. The size of base has changed. Additionally there are a new type of elite marine called Primaris marines. These are larger, but they are a separate unit type. Normal marines are the same size, but with larger bases.

>>54550092
For normal marines, yes. Non Terminators went from 25mm bases to 32mm. Then, GW started a new line of Marines, the Primaris, that are all bigger and better proportionned and have big ass bases as well.

>>54550092
They're squatting the old marines but apart for that nothing has changed

>>54549778
Go for it man, just use your characters as count-as squad leaders and HQ choices. It's a fun and fluffy way to give yourself flexible wargear options while sticking to WYSIWYG. You want to run your Captain with a thunder hammer and storm shield, but you've modelled him with a power axe and a grav pistol? Luckily for you, Sir Hammershield of the Yourguys Questing Knights company is leading the battle that day instead.

okay cheers for clearing that up

>>54550069
>>54550092
there are also base extenders you can buy so you don't have to rebase or anything.

Wait, what size are Primaris on?

32mm? 40mm? I saw the Nurgle boss is on a 50mm base

>bought a squad of manlets on ebay with the new big bases

>ripped em all off and stuck them on the old sized marine bases to fit in with my other 3 tactical squads and rest of my army

THESE TIMES
THEY ARE A CHANGIN'

Fuckin tzeench must be part of GW

Have you even looked at the store page for the base sizes?

Just spent an hour on the red (mostly trial and error with glazes and highlights) before deciding it was the best I could do.

>>54545588
Looks fucking gr8 m8. Praise Nurgle

>>54550761
Noice. How's your LOTR scene at your shop? I hear almost nothing but praises for this game.

>>54550962
I have no idea, sorry. I've never even played. Hundreds of miniatures for this game, and never played. I just seem to convert and paint them

>>54550995

Finished my Iron Priest. Not particularly happy with it but it was my first ever suit of power armour. Too dark and I need to brighten up the gold a little, the lighting in the room doesn't help though.

Hey, /wip/, I'm starting to have doubts on the colour scheme. Will it look good once I highlight it? What about the shields? It sounded like a great idea but I'm not so sure about the colour.

>>54551288
That's a bad picture and I'm sorry I posted it.

>>54551258
It looks pretty great actually, although my neck hurts from craning.

>>54547146
Call straight up told Guilliman that tests with primaris version of traitor/lost legions were successful and that he can start mass producing them whenever he wants

>>54551192
awesome job my dude.

>>54551288
look like loyalist black legion.

>>54551288
Shields are too high. They should basically be covering armpit and bottom shoulder.

It's ok. I think you could use a third colour on the actual armor to break up some of the black.

>>54551737
Sergeants will have a kandor blue stripe on his helmet and yellow right kneepad, lieutenants will have big blue and a smaller yellow stripe in his helmet, like the ultramarine one teased in the main box

No way to solve that now, unfortunately. Placements were chosen according to space on other models and how it looked on this lieutenant.

How do I paint sandbags? Ive based zandri dust and washed agrax but i forgot the next step

Finished my wolf scout for Shadow War armageddon, aptly named Santa. I just need to paint the base, happy with how the face turned out.

You could also try using a very fine tipped micron pen to line in all the crevices. Pic related is my attempt on a test model, I was a bit messy and probably went overboard, but you can get an idea of what should look like.

>>54552478
I see what you're going for, looks nice but.... Did you thin your paints? The gold looks rather thick.
