Perfect timing OP ;)

Anyone have feedback and advice? Still need to do the guns but not sure how AND basing.. someone suggested something green but i am just not sure yet. Could really use some advice

>>54556454
I'd darken the bases. Moreso, add some shade/black to the recesses to make the 'white' pop out more.

Wip Primaris deathwatch.

I wanted to go for a heavy duty breacher look. I think I'll add some grenades later.

>>54556520
You'd think a breacher would wear a helmet with some kind of reinforced front armor.

>>54556566
It's why he's got that sick headwound bro

>>54556672
he is just scared because his teal uniform makes him stick out like a sore thumb.

>>54556665
his clothes look awesome but the gun and helmet look like they could use a teensy bit of highlighting, the face looks okay, but i cannot explain just how much i love the clothes

>>54556646
The white's bad. Like, really bad. But everything else looks decent enough to plop on a table. Let me guess, feathers are in a coloured gradient because their phoenix feathers, right?

reposting my boyz from last night.
about to start on the next batch, gotta make them EVEN BLASTIER

>>54556786
how come you only based two of them?

>>54556727
It shrinks as it dries. Dont slather it on super thick, but if you go at it with a large brush and cover every area, you shouldn't obscure any detail.
I've found black gesso great, white gesso pretty bad.

>>54556679
I think whole model would probs dry uneven on those flat bits and look bad.

Then again, if it'd been undercoated white, all over shade would have been a nice way to quickly get the armor done.

The rest of my stuff is kinda no man's land trenchy. I like the captain to stand out, either calling out a charge from the rear at their fortifications or standing triumphant on claimed fortress.

>>54556870
Green marble?
dude looks nice too.

>>54556875
I'm by no means great at it, but when I paint a white helmet I like to do it like Duncan does in his purifier tutorial. Basically, celestra grey, shade recesses with watered down fenris grey, layer with ulthuan grey, edge with white scar

>>54556904
i prefer this one, it has much more of a "i just had a battle in which i just fucked you hard", because of the very clear damage from some type of gunfire and the fact that its clearly leftover of some kind of building

>>54556927
Thanks! He's pretty close to done. I need to clean some of the chunkier power sword highlighting and transitioning.

If I go with the first one I'm thinking marble too. I'll have to find a good method for that.

>>54556934
It just looks white to me...Is there really that much on one helmet? I think I should get my eyes checked.

>>54556941
I'm kinda partial to it too, because hard-on for walls.

The ground on it is kinda urban though with a storm drain. Might need to put some mud on it so it matches the rest of the team.

>>54556625
They're called Czech Hedgehogs, to build out of sprue you need to find a picture of them then stick three bits of sprue together so they look the same.

>>54556809
cos i'm waiting on some materials from secret weapon. i decided i didn't like the basing scheme i was going for, so i need some stuff to make my new theme work

>>54556975
Yeah, but its pretty subtle even in person. White is weird. Celestra grey is a nice base color that has good coverage and gives a solid base. Ulthuan is very nearly white but still allows highlighting with pure white, but the important step is the careful recess shading, because that is what gives definition to otherwise flat color.

>>54556625

Watch out, black jesso has iron oxide in it. It will clump up over any magnetized portions.

>>54556665
Not a critique of the paintjob per se, but I really dislike that shade of green. Mint isn't a good look for a soldier. He looks like he'd taste of toothpaste.

>>54557627
Looking good anon.

Related question for anyone, what other colours are there for nurgle traitor marines?
off white and pea green seem to be the most common, anyone seen anything else that really stood out?

>>54557627
Looks pretty nice! Especially like the little nurgling shoulderpad, almost as cute as the horror shoulderpad from the exalted kit.

>>54556786
I like them but the left two look a bit too clean in comparison to the others. Tumblr noses work well on orks.

>>54557712
Thanks. To answer your question; the ones that "work" best are green and offwhite since they follow the colours of human flesh in sickness.

You can, with a little effort, make any colour look nurgly simply by making it filthy and gooey. I remember seeing years back some black legion Plague Marines that had black armor with glazes that gradually turned certain areas of the armour a putrid green. It looked really nice. I'll try to find it for you.

>>54557753
yeah, those two aren't weathered yet. thanks tho!

If I'm lazy and don't want to buy more paints right now, could I try going for the glossy red for pre-heresy colors without using the metallic red paint by using a gemstone paint?

>>54558229
Don't half-ass things.

>>54558262
I don't want to half ass the model, I just don't really want to go out to get the paint because the people at my shop are weird. I was just wondering if it was an option, that's all.

>>54558229
It will look very different to what you've done already.

>>54558292
Go in, buy the paint, get out. Don't half ass thing as the other anon said

>>54558292
order online.

>>54556727
Do not use gesso as your only primer, especially on resin and very especially not on metal. It's way too delicate. Fucking brilliant for getting a good surface to paint on, but make sure that the parts of the model which will come into contact with things have some proper primer on before you use the gesso. You only need a relatively light coat of primer under it though.

>>54556625
Made out of sprue they look a bit shit. Grab some plasticard H beams and do them properly or buy a kit with them (Tamiya and Italeri both do some 1:35 obstacles).

Any /wip/ approved guides for painting camo on small models, like Tau fire warriors?

I apply it with small pieces of foam. You've gotta ensure the colours contrast well enough and the details aren't too fine though or your minis will just look like they're extremely dirty from a distance. You should also use it sparingly, if the entire mini is covered in camo it becomes a visually confusing mess.

>>54559058
I guess I'll try picking up one of those practice marines to try it out, and then from there decide if I should use that or the normal method.

>>54559194
Its like thats what its designed to do or something.

>>54556454
Your doing well, but you need some contrast. Inking it and then dry brushing with your base color would be great. Add some darker tones of red to the core of the blood splatter so it looks like it's drying like it would be after 10 seconds. I LOVE the shading on your greens.

>>54559325
Yes, but if you completely disregard any aesthetic concerns you'll end up with an awful-looking mini, regardless of how totally authentic the camo is. I've made those mistakes with camo before anon, learn from my experiences.

>>54556646
Like they said, be more patient with the white. Let it dry completely and make sure it's nice and thin. Also I like the feathers but the gradient is to bold. Make the colored sections a bit longer and the black should be like the last 1/5 go look at some eagle feathers.

>>54557424

If you're phone supports it, switch to pro settings. Drop your brightness a little. Get a good light on the mini and zoom in rather than getting the camera up close.

Yes, that's what I was talking about but I was phoneposting before so I didn't wanna post the photo, but when I do T'au I really wanna do that colour scheme so I should just start with primaris minitures and when I'm good enough try to do that.

>>54560956

I'm just got to say, when I started 40k (with Tau), I used >>54560885 as a basis for my first color scheme, and even though I sucked as a newbie painter, I managed this very well. It's a surprisingly newb friendly paint scheme in my experience.

Just basecoat with light gray and paint the darker on top of it in the desired pattern and dots. Should look good on models with lots of flat armor or curves, so Primaris might actually be ideal minis to paint it on.

This was a pain. My very first completed-ish model. Still needs work, including the transfers obviously, but done for now.

>>54561176
why on earth do people start with big stuff like this? that's just asking for trouble.
Practice on infantry first. you won't regret it.

that being said, it's not -too- bad, barring shittons of mouldlines and the white paint being kinda thicc

>>54561312
It's worse than you think, it's not mould lines, it's bloody seams. But yeah, I didn't thin the white paint enough. It was thinned a bit, but definitely not enough, to my regret. The commander in the cupola was my infantry practice for the pathfinders I also have.

>>54561332
It's okay, anon. You can always strip it and try again. Everyone makes mistakes, now try and not make them next time.
Practice on that pathfinder squad before moving onto anything else, and maybe keep that commander separate if you do strip it. It's nice to keep your first models on hand once you get gud.

I've figured out your problem anon.

You're painting too fast. You aren't watching any tutorials or improving anything. You're gonna end up with a ton of badly painted minis very quickly.

That aside, you are pretty good at keeping within the lines so you have potential but you need to work on other things.

Your purple here looks to be one overly thinned layer or some bizarre washing has gone on. It should be a couple of milk consistency layers with a wash with a thin brush in the recess and an edge highlight.

Your white is way too thick. Watch duncan paint white scars or white armour on youtube. It has a search function - it should take ten minutes to learn how to do it.

Your metal is also way too thick. When you get a normal thickness layer on it next time hit it with a wash and edge highlight.

Your feathers are nice so good job.

Please watch some tutorials and try and improve if you are going to post so many identical quality models on here. You can improve in a day if you just take some time to watch tutorials and learn some techniques.

TLDR: You wont get better by repeating the same thing over and over.

My first time painting something that wasn't a necron warrior.

Still working on image size and lighting, but hopefully this pic isn't too bad.

Any obvious tips? I know I messed up the oxide on the one guy pretty bad. I'm going to be doing my next guys with a new brass recipe I got from an anon here, and trying to make the metal overall a little more bright.

>>54566254
i think the plasma gun looks a bit too bright and the oxide in general is a bit offputing but other than that they looks fucking awesome, like seriously though the plasma gun looks so off that it looks photoshopped in, not the energy part(that is fine) just the main part of the gun

Does anyone know how well the Games Workshop airbrush paints work?

Just used an airbrush for base-coating for the first time and I'm in love. That being said, finding the right formula and consistency for the paint was a bit tedious.

>>54566298
Thank you!

Yeah the oxide problem is something I'm going to work on with my next guys. I will try to darken the gun up a bit though, I see what you mean. I was a little worried the tan/bone would get lost in the bronze if I wasn't careful, so I might have gone a little overboard in making it stand out!

How much primer inhalation will fuck me

Would be easy with something like plagues, may look a little off-putting on something like a primaris, though. It may be easier to patch it up a bit with some green stuff if the latter is the case.

>>54566366
im not sure if you already applied some agrax onto the gun, but i think just appyling a bunch quite carefully(i dont want you to fuck up the plasma energy) will make it look a lot more worn and nurgly, its just something ive found while painting my guys, if something isnt fitting in adding a wash over it and everything else(even a bit) will make it look better, by the way im not very good at painting so use my advice carefully

so yeah thin your paints

The gun is just screaming skull with some seraphim sepia wash and white highlights.

I do think agrax before or after the sepia would work well though! It would keep a similar color scheme, just darken it up a bit. I'll test it out a bit on some other guys!

>>54566498
Okay, thanks for the advice!
I try to get my paints thinned, but most of the time I fuck up in several ways. Now, I usually use a slightly moist brush, but seems that isn't enough.

What is a really good paint stripper/green stuff remover for metal miniatures? Just bought a bunch of metal skaven and the previous owner was a pretty bad painter, and added some cosmetic changes I really don't like, so I want to start off fresh with them.

>>54566463
I would give the metal a wash but other than that it's looking good! Maybe a little highlight on the cloak just to break up the solid red.

>>54566539
Simple Green works really well on metal minis, I'm actually in the process of stripping some SoB minis right now and it's working great. I've heard good things about Castrol Super Clean as well.

>>54566539

For metal models, I just crack them off their bases and dunk them in paint thinner. Dissolves paint, glue, loosens epoxy, everything

If you're dumb enough to use such an overkill stripper and also dumb enough to leave your shit inside for several days instead of the couple minutes it requires, you deserve the melted models you will find in a week.

You can thank these morons for people like me no longer giving good advice like "buy a decent paintbrush" and "don't use toxic chemicals that you can't even touch with your bare skin or dispose of in normal trash to strip non metal miniatures".

Love it, it's a conversion right? Looks far more believably Nurgle than the Typhus mini I'm used to seeing, and love the paint job. Not sure whether a completely different colour on the base would have improved or ruined it.

Indeed. I suggest looking at making a wet palette (just google diy wit pallette, the ones using baking paper are what I use). It makes painting so much nicer as the paitns stop drying up within moments and the pallet also thins them down.

Colour is way too blocky and your paint is way too thick.

The tones on the fire need to meld better, a more gradual transition.

Your edges are shabby and patchy, tune them up.

The paint must be thinned. It yearns to be thinned, it screams for it. I can see the inconsistencies of the paint on the wizards robes, the horses armour, the plumes, just about everywhere really.

I'd strip the wizard and start again. Horses can probably be saved with some wash, some edge highlights and some depth shade.

>>54568123
Both, I feel like it's just easier if I explain I was more of a painter before I ever touched a model

I use to do paintings and portraits and I always loved heavy shading and wanted to do that on models as well so it took a bit of getting use to but that's pretty my style I guess you could say

>>54566893

A mix of two-thirds Detol Disinfectant and one-third water will strip most things if you leave them to soak over night in a sealed container.

I bought some Primaris from a friend who practically slathered the fucking things in blue, so I bought a couple bottles of Dettol and some tins with sealable lids.

Let them soak in the mix and then use a soft toothbrush to scrub away the loosened paint while they're still submerged.

quick question, when you're done painting models is there anything else you should do to keep the paint from rubbing away when they're handled? Like sprays or stuff?

>>54568885
yes it's called varnish. for plastic minis one coat of matt varnish is enough. for metal minis you want to apply one to two coats of gloss varnish followed by a coat of matt varnish. of course, you'll have to wait between coats for them to dry.

>>54568885

I use a gloss varnish first before a final coat of matt varnish.

just mix some abbadon black with your nuln oil, glaze rhinox hide into the recesses, ditto+stipple a Sarah brown glaze over the surface of the metal
then a simple edge highlight of ironbreaker with light drybrushing of those same on flat surfaces

Hey guys, first post in WIP

Started experimenting on my second model today and while I've gotten better with the base colour I'm having some trouble shading the pauldrons.
Any recommendations? Do people usually do it in one go or do ya usually have to cover up with another layer?

Also, should I thin my paint even more? Having some trouble controlling it on my palette but I'm using aluminium foil atm, gonna get me some real equipment later today

>>54569428
What're you shading with?

>>54569467
Nuln oil for the shoulders, Athonian camoshade for the base body

Working on my inquisitor. I don't know how to paint her sword, I was thinking of using brass to keep it on an earthly tone, but maybe use a striking colour to break the tone. Thoughts?

Who are some good mini painters on Instagram?

>Accidentally washed small Bloodletter brush in tea and drank without noticing

Am I ded, anons?

On a side not, Ruststalkers coming along really rather well even if the agrax has dulled their green fabric down a bit too far. Just need to do the bronze armour and the swords and they're done.

Do I put some 'Ardcoat on my fiery sword blades to make them shine or not, do you think?

>>54569515
I think breaking up the tone is good idea. A brighter sword would work wonders.
Looks great otherwise.

>>54569678
What colour do you think I should break it with? This is my first monotone figurine, so I'm kinda winging it.

I'm not sure what exactly you're doing wrong here, but something is wrong here.

So with this miniature I'd go over the shade you have with another coat of white to set you back to base (and yeah you could probably stand to thin your white a little more it looks like.) Then, paint the whole pauldron with nuln oil. When that dries, paint over it with white, but just kinda stay away from the recess shade.

Citadel paints are water-based acryllic, so no you're not dead.

left looks better, my man. By a long shot

Does GW sell parts just for customization? Like a sprue with a bunch of human heads on it or anything? I wanna get some Catachans but their faces look awful compared to newer models,

>>54566075

Cut them all out and categorise them so you don't look track of the bits. Then just go through cleaning them.

I find that it feels like an eternity if you cut one model and do it at a time.

>>54565864

Infinity has some really nice models. I should look to getting into it.

Do they have a starter set?

>>54570105

It's the front and back of the same mini. Balls.

>>54570115
Yep, a lot of different ones actually

>>54570123

Woops, meant for>>54569996

>>54570084
the old bodies aren't particularly great either

but if you know any guys with scions they probably have dozens of the beret heads spare

>>54566072
Needs something to make it pop imo.
Like an orange glow in the eye slits or something.
Looks a bit too dark and uniform atm in my opinion.

>>54570084
They used to. Not anymore though.
Check out 3rd party bits sellers like maxmini, pig iron and puppetswars. There are hundreds of company doing aftermarket stuff for GW products and 28mm in general.

If you want nice catachan models you could look into getting the old metals from ebay. The sculpts were way better than the plastic kit even when it came out.
Victoria miniatures also sells bits with which you could probably do you own Catachans that don't look like they have tumors growing on their arms.
Mad Robot does pseudo catachans too iirc.

The models in the command squad are a lot better, but it's not really too practical to do an entire army with them.

Only 13 left to go. Then the work on the vehicle support begins.

In everyone's opinion, what's the best medium for applying transfers? I've heard of microsol/microset but have no experience with it. Are there alternatives I don't know about? I don't trust myself to freehand 20 ish raptors icons plus squad markings.

>>54570210
>but it's not really too practical to do an entire army with them
I'm only making a neophyte hybrid squad for my GSC. I thought the one that GW sells with Cadians looks too organized for a crazy cult.

>>54570314
they look pretty good man.

>>54570314
I regretted the mould line on the sergeant's leg the moments I took the picture if anyone was wondering.

>>54570318
You could look into using the Dark Vengeance cultists, flaggellants or Frostgrave soldiers/cultist too then.
Those are all looking pretty rag tag.

>>54569753
Alright thanks anon

For the next model, should I thin the base colour more as well?

>>54570236
Off the back of this guy's idea, if you want to see how green lighting power sword looks, I've just tried it on my sarge in >>54567050 it's my first power sword, so a more experienced painter could make it look cooler, I'm sure, but for the general idea...

>>54570358
They always become much more apparent in pictures unfortunately.

>>54570470
Forgot to add reply to >>54569515

>>54570222
Personally if you just highlighted that black I think it would be good to go
Otherwise I would do a very dark blue-grey

Not bad anon, that face is quite realistic. You messed up with your base though kek

>>54570888
I really like your colours man, looks very authentic military. Washes look nice, probably would benefit from a little cleanup and highlighting.
The base needs cleaning up, use less material next time, and scrape the sides of the base to get the basing material off.

I think I'm gonna go with this base for the captain >>54556870
Looking forward to doing marble effects when I get home.

Any tips for painting decals on Raptors? Gold seems to stick out too much but black might be too bland? Maybe silver? Or some emerald-like green?

Any specific Citadel colour you would recommend?

Same thing for pauldron trim, which Citadel paint would you use for vets and for the third company?

>>54569143
Planning on adding some snow basing but not too much since they're in summer dress. Light snow during spring is common however.

>>54571209
Duncan should make some private videos detailing more advances techniques. Warhammer TV limits him to beginners.

So I'm painting my hive tyrant. But I didn't plan for the wing membrane. I'm going to the shop today, what would go well with blue grey skin and white armor for my hive tyrant?

>>54571348
not trying to be mean but primer would go very well with any plastic and paint.

try black, first without any added grey highlights and then add them if deemed too plain.

>>54571348
buy a can of primer

>>54571391
no its not, you just slapped some layer paint straight onto the plastic.

first scrape all mold lines off and fill gaps if needed.
then wash the model with soap and toothbrush just to be sure, let it dry and spray primer of your choice.

i feel like im coming on pretty strong but just trying to be helpful, also drunk.

>>54571448
I sprayed it with pic related. I know better than to not prime when painting. And compared to the non primed carnifex at my desk it's even a different shade of grey

>>54571531
If it's good enough for Duncan, it's good enough for most.

>>54571518
>throwing away perfectly good shit
Kill yourself. If you absolutely don't want it, donate it to a wargaming club near you or some shit.

>>54571531
I'm still wary of using that and not Chaos Black on my minis

>>54571628
dont worry i tried but my LGS has shelves full of terrain, overflowing shelves actually and none of my buddies or dudes at the store needed any.

thanks for implying my shit is good for something btw

>>54571611
>>54571378
So back to my original question. Suggestions for the wings? Want them to pop out.

>>54571665
It requires a thorough inspection to make sure you hit everything, but it gives a primed like texture that works really well.

>>54571698
i already gave you my suggestion, straight up black because it would contrasti nicely with the more lighter colours.

also sorry i wasnt aware that there was such a primer. just too used to people using just black and white

>>54571735
Oh sorry. And yeah it was at the suggestion of the bro GW guy since it's much easier for doing gaunts. It also costs the same as chaos black.
