I finished this guy last week. I posted him on the gunpla general in /m/, but looks like they are not really interested in the "painting" thing and went unnoticed. Smaller thing I ever painted.

Also, some months ago some annons asked me for a place to see other things I have been posting here from time to time. I finally made an Instagram some days ago and I'm posting a photo every day since then: https://www.instagram.com/magdarium/

>>54621523
>>54621538
I remember the Dreamer you painted for Malifaux. Pretty fucking amazing.

>>54621523
Hot damn, anon. That's impressive- you managed to even paint eyes on that beyond just dots. Is the Euro cent close to the size of a penny?

Any techniques or advice for someone looking to start painting 10mm miniatures? I'm so used to the 25mm scale.

Your painting skills aside it's not a bad colour scheme, but I'd maybe replace the gold with a metallic blue if you can get some

>Planning to order pic related has my low level Cleric.
I don't want to rain on your parade, but that looks pretty basic. It's a bit hodgepodge in terms of eqipment, but you could probably get a mini with sallet and club from a bunch of different historical manufacturers for a fraction of the cost.

Can't really comment on the quality of the minis, but people buy custom bits for 40k all the time. I've seen some things printed in ultra frosted detail that looked nearly indistinguishable from the plastic bits after a bit of prepping. So it seems the print quality has gone up and if you put in some elbowgrease yourself it's a decent deal.

decent paint scheme but pretty bad paint job, im guessing you may have rushed a bit since it's a test model.

>>54621829
I do checkers a lot which is similar to this and I sort of just use a thin brush and lot's of redos. I heard scoring the plastic with an exacto knife in the pattern you want can make it easier though but I have yet to try that.

Thanks for the input, this character is basic because I like to play humble guys.
But what I like about Hero Forge is that I can make all kind of characters. One of my friends' playing a paladin halflling equipped with an axe and a tower shield of her size, this is hard to find something like that in bits I guess, but I'll still look into that, thanks.

An attempt was made... I think I can get this to look good enough with more time. I used a ruler to put down strokes at equal distance, then just filled them in. I expected my jittery hands to be a big issue but you can work around it.

>>54622674
That's a pretty good start, should look nice with another coat. Why not use masking tape to block out the bits you want to paint red?

>>54622674
Pretty decent, just get rid of the bigger mistakes with a tiny brush and fill in the red a bit but dont do too much more or else you could mess up.

>>54622771
I tried with tape, but any raised surfaces make that a bit of a pain to deal with. I guess this also is a good way train a steady hand.

in general, which army do you think is harder to paint?

>bright edge highlighting, gemstones, talismans, and trinkets
vs
>dark edge highlighting, flayed skin, gemstones, trinkets, skulls

>>54623290
There are easy to paint schemes for both.
You can also make it easier for yourself by only using washes and going for a gritty, weathered look.

Don't do what's easy, go with which one you like better.

>>54623358
I'm talking as a general rule. I was having a disagreement with a friend of mine over which army is more difficult if you're putting effort into them.

Finally finished my core set squadrons for star wars armada. Some ships look better than others because as time went on I cared less. Still don't feel prepared to paint the slave 1 though b/c that one needs too look good.

>>54623371
Then you are both fools.
It's as easy or as hard as you want to make it for yourself.
If you paint either on a golden demon level it's gonna be pretty hard either way.
If you just slob the tournament legal 3 paint minimum on it's gonna be easy.

It's a pretty pointless argument.

>>54623445
I mean obviously, but for example, no matter how much effort you put into a space marine, eldar and tyranid units are generally harder to paint.

OBVIOUSLY, if you just throw a few colours on the average model, it'll be easy, but when it comes down to it, eldar and dark eldar both have different layers of complexity when you actually put forth the effort to fill in the details on the models.

>>54623486
>tyranids hard to paint

>>54623486
>eldar and tyranid units are generally harder to paint.
That's wrong though.
Take any Space Wolf character who is gonna be covered in pointless greebles and a regular Eldar Guardian.
Either was Eldar and Space marines are basically the same, just smooth armor and the occasional bare head. I don't see how that makes any sense.
And Tyranids are easy to paint too.

Seriously how does that even compute?

I'm just gonna say it again: I depends on how much work you put into a paintjob.

If you two got an argument about who's had it harder painting his plastic men, I think you got other issues.
I may be a cynical ass, but this is some inane bullshit to argue about.
It's not a fucking math equation with only one right answer here.

>>54623535
harder than marines.

>>54623540
actually, neither of us play craftworlder.

>>54623563
Then why the fuck are you even arguing?

Rhetorical question I don't even wanna know.

so which faction is actually hardest to paint?

>>54623586
it started with my groaning at how ugly some space marine paint schemes(specifically, those hideous quartered off schemes) looked. He said it was just extra challenge for painters, and I suggested they just play another army.

it kinda spun off from there.

No.

Yes/no?

>>54621523
>>54624279
You guys seem to know a bit about his, so it seems to be an opportune moment to ask about.

I know there are detailing kits for these kind of kits, fans, air vents and other mechanical details on a sprue so you can add detail to your Gundams.

What are these things called?

I thought maybe it could be a useful thing for making sci-fi scenery, but I have a hard time finding anything I'm looking for. The market for these things is huge and I don't know what terms to search for.

>>54624367
it looks awful, the paint looks too thick and you've not got an even coat, also please tell me you're not painting straight onto unprimed resin

Found a bunch of my old paints, dumped the dead ones, and plan on revitalizing the rest.

What do they call 'Vermin Fur' nowadays? I need to go paint-shopping.

>>54624911
Depends, which generation you are talking about.
The hex bottle with white round cap? The old, old one? That's a brown.
GW currently makes a stormvermin fur that is a grey. They also used to do a vermin brown at one point that was similar to vermin fur. That was similar to Vomit Brown that was the generation with the stout hexpots with black cap.
The Vomit brown equivalent from VGC is Filthy Brown and the GW name is Tau Light Ochre, althrough the TLO one is not a close match I think.

So, I guess your best bet would be Filthy Brown from Vallejo Game Color?

>>54624324
Is it that Greenstuff World set of grilles and guide bars? Got one, it's very useful for smaller wires and hoses and such for my Admech, but don't try really long cables with it, since it doesn't like having to roll things in sections and is generally really fiddly. What are you converting? Def. best part of WIP projects, the actual painting can be boring at times.

>>54625063

Those look terrible

I recall one dark grey, rest were already butchered by paintjobs (but with similar print-layers showing).

>>54625063

top row 3rd, is the best one since the large out of proportion shoulder armour at least balances out the lower legs

top row 4th looks wildly imbalanced

Yeah, but the bulkiness is uneven and it looks retarded
>gigantic hands and feet with a tiny ass torso

>>54625063
Holestly the only thing that really bothers me on these is that they're nurgle shitters and that you didn't use other heads or sculpted hair onto them.

Also clean up your chop-marks where you removed the topknots. those look shitty.

consider some small sandpaper for smoothing out the pauldrons as well.

Chaos hellwright on dark abeyant conversion. Not using it for big cables, really. The biggest thing I'm probably going to have trouble with is massing cables at the base for "legs" like in pic related. Otherwise there are just a few portions where I'm not sure how to join pieces. Haven't done much work with greenstuff, but I'm hoping I can fashion a handle for a lance out of it for this, too.

You can wrap the greenstuff around copper wire and use the molding plates on it. Wait for it to cure some (enough to not take fingerprints) then bend them as needed.

Yeah, I got mine for DarkMech too. Mostly for joining conversion bitz together and adding detail to things, works well.

>>54625458

Somehow I did not think of that, I'll totally use that in future. TY anon, will make adding greenstuff cables to my DarkMech Archmagos with metal body a lot easier.

>>54624324
Ooooh don't worry anon.
My first green stuff project (right now) is a girlyman conversion into a chaos lord.
I gave him a talberd and a Kanabo instead of emperor's sword. It will turn out okay if you just don't rush it! You have tools for the tentacles too so it will be just fine.

>>54626615
Depends on what you're willing to pay for. Frosted Ultra Detail has great detail, but is pricey and there might be some crustiness on the detail. The cheaper you go, the less detailed but more durable the models get.

I think it's worth it for a piece or two, but certainly not for a whole list.

>>54626721
Well, I'm just looking for shoulderpads and maybe some icons, so that is that.
Price isn't really a problem. One has to deal with the costs of the hobby anyway.

What's a good product to clean spray primer off of CONCRETE? I've been priming on my balcony the last year or so and I haven't been too careful with using newspaper underneath so there's primer showing here and there.

Someone please spoonfeed me a Farsight Enclaves paint scheme.
I don't really know what to do for the grey, or what to do for the soft bits.

>>54626901

>>54626861
Well, I haven't purchased shoulderpads, but I have bought some not-Battlefleet Gothic, and they were quite lovely. I say go for it - seems like it'd be hard to fuck up shoulderpads.

>>54621610

The euro cents are a little smaller than the pennies. I painted him the same way that I paint bigger miniatures; use a (really) good brush, do the priming using an airbrush and a light color (I use Vallejo's gray priming for airbrush) so you can see the details and don't focus too much in the lights.

Good luck!

I didn't even looked there, but I have just checked and they seem pretty cool beyond their interest for the robowaifus!

>>54624389

I bought some on ebay; try search "gundam metal parts" or "gundam metal details". The screws are quite nice for the scenery. Also, you can go for the cheap version and buy some CI socket (rounds), just cut the plastic and use the metal parts as air vents.

>>54625176

They came with the Gundam MG and RG models. Most people don't use them, so it's possible to find lots of them if you ask for them in gunpla forums.

I don't like the heads though so I used some regular space marine heads and I ordered some third party heads online that I'm still waiting for.

The Bolt pistol is from the Space Marine Scouts set, and height wise he's the same height as the old marine models, though he looks smaller because he has leaner proportions.

>>54627549
i like the model as a base and the gun looks ok but you might want a fancy poncho or something on him

>>54627916
I'm going to try to greenstuff some fur on his shoulders like what the Warriors of Chaos have and then I'm going to also add a tabbard on the front, as well as various cables and stuff. He's still in the very early stages right now.

While at the LGS today, I asked a grizzled neckbeard for 3 painting/modeling tips for beginners, since I'm just getting into the hobby.

His tips were:

>Thin your paints
>Remove your moldlines and clip marks
>Don't prime at night

Okay. The first two make sense, but what the flying fuck is up with that third one? The guy was walking out the door when I asked so I didn't get the follow up, and the clerk had no idea either.

>>54627969
well, old compared to the new Primaris stuff

>>54627903
>height wise he's the same height as the old marine models
So literally smaller than modern tempestus scions. Gotcha.

My airbrush came in yesterday. Just waiting on the cheapo chinese booth they have all over ebay to come in. (not sure how necessary it is really)
Did I get the correct primers to shoot thru this thing? I'm unfamiliar with Vallejo line and this looked like the stuff I saw people using on youtube. I put a drop or two of flow improver into the cup, followed by a few drops of the silver primer and tiny bit of water.
My first mix was too wet and sprayed a horrible bubble into one of these bombs, but I retried it and got a decent coat in just seconds.
I'm stoked on the airbrush, tldr did I order right primers?

>>54628007
Are the scions really that big? I just looked up a comparison and they look around the same height as the non-primaris marines

>>54627993
Where in the world are you?
Too dry/humid, too cold/hot, too windy are all things that can fuck with your primer coat. Also stuff that flies through the air, like seed or pollen. You don't want that baked into your primer coat.
So depending on where you are he may have been alluding to that.

Other than that it is also possible that he just meant that you won't be able to tell what is primed yet and what not if you don't have enough light.

>>54627993
harder to gauge where you're spraying
basically impossible to tell how good your coverage is
if something gets knocked off you'll have a hell of a time finding it
depending on location, humidity at night can also be a problem

It might be a fuckin stupid question but is it safe to transport citadel paints in a backpack for an hour if temperature is around 35-40°C? I just don't know if being exposed on such high temperature for a long while can damage them somehow

Use the vallejo primers right from the bottle, you don't need to mix them to airbrush them.

Flow improver, water and other products are used to thin the regular paint.

>>54625598
I assume that it's a horrific photoshop.

>>54628408
Cool thanks. That might be why it seemed I had to pull the trigger so far back to get any primer to leave the cup. Or my psi was too low.
I had a boner from the very second some of that primer got on the model tho. no more tropical weather priming for me

>>54628124

Sometimes people prefer to have something fast more than having it detailed.

May I ask; how much are they paying you for a mini like that? Do you have something painted at high level? How much time do you spend painting a miniature at that level and how much do you spend when you paint at your best?

I also do commissions from time to time, but I have serious problems painting at other level than my "best" and I always have to let go that kind of works.

Watered or thick, you never should have any problems pulling the trigger, do you wait for the compressor to be ready? What pressure are you using?

Show me your compressor and if it is one of the classics (the atlantis, the classic yellow one and the one with the black tank) I could tell you the best setting.

>>54628604
You do realize that some people just don't want brown plastic but also don't need Golden Demon painting on Boardgame pieces.

Like if he wanted to spend 5-10 bucks a model then maybe I would wetblend the shit out of the cape. he just said to match it to the box art and I did just that.

sorry I didn't mean mean that it was difficult to pull the trigger back, just that I had to pull it further back than I imagined to get the paint flow started.
This is the compressor I have, I know everyone on tg said to go with a cheapo that has a tank, but I was able to get the airbrush and compressor locally and didn't want to order them as I only have a PObox on island. I mean I didn't just buy the first thing I saw, I looked at reviews and people were positive about this one.
Think I was running between 25-30psi last night farting around. I realize now why people say to go for the tank though, as it seems this compressor will lose a tiny bit of pressure in between from when I pull the trigger and it clicks on. As long as I don't start spraying directly onto model with first blast I should be ok?

Gotta go with the one reciting Hamlet in the middle of a battle. That's serious dedication to his art.

>>54628814
Yea you'll be fine, its not like people are doing super detail work on mini's with an airbrush. I use mine mostly just to get base coats on super easily (especially nice since im working on some Imperial Fists). A few short blasts is fine to get the colors on, and lets your compressor keep the pressure up.

>>54628814

Yes, if the pressure is constant once it star spraying, there is no problem with it. I have never tried that particular one, but having a tank just remember to let it charge before start spraying to get a stable and strong flow. Also, 25 psi (1,7 bar) is maybe too weak for vallejo's primer. I use 29 (2 bar) as a minimum for getting something like this pic (using vallejo gray directly from the bottle).

How much did you get paid for each model then?
Serious question.

>>54623595

I'd say that Dark Eldar is pretty up there, they're really slender models with lots of intricate details, if you fuck up highlighting they look shitty.

>>54629572

I used that varnish directly from the bottle on this miniatures. I used high pressure and give them fast and thins coats. If you use too much, it gives a "hairy" texture, be careful.

>>54628365
I've got one that I'm using in an objective marker, but I also have two friends who play guard so I might be able to get another.

>>54628124
I suddenly feel a lot better about the Girlyman commission I painted

>>54629107

for those it was $2.50 Simple base colors, washes and small highlights.

My higher end models (infantry) can be around 3-5 dollars. Larger models vary depending on size and complexity in both the model and paint scheme.

>>54629873

Comparing a 90 Dollar model to one thats less than a dollar when you consider a Zombicide box is 90 bucks for like 100 Zombies and Heroes...

>>54621570

Primaris are the way forward, gorgeous models
and more forgiving/enjoyable to paint.

Maybe practice on an old model you have lying around first though

>>54630043
well it was 90 dollars for three models

>>54630088
Ok, so a 30 dollar model. (just checked thought it was one for 90)

Anycase; comparing these 2 paint jobs is like comparing a car to a rock, 2 different things that have nothing in common.

>>54630113
I understand that, but the thing is I felt kind of like a fraud for my commission because it was mediocre and could have been so much better, even though my friend thought it was great. Seeing that some people aren't taking commissions so seriously that they have to be completely perfect makes me feel a little better about myself.

>>54629873
zero shading or depth to the gold.

i mean, i am not that good, but this seems really rough still.

>>54630181
It is pretty rough, but I've already vented about it >>54630165

>>54630113
It doesn't matter how expensive the model is its the paint job that is relevant.
My 20 Snapfit chaos cultists have more love put in to them and they were rushed in 2-3 days.
That zombicide guy has no mold lines removed looks like he got dipped into shade after a single Basecoat and then not even bothered with dry brushing after.

The person commissioning could do the same job even if he never touched a brush before after a few attempts

>>54630165

Oh yea. I mean most people just want the paint on the model due to lack of skill or time. Most people are happy to just have base colors and a wash over everything and call it a day (And hey, if thats someone's thing do it up!)

If someone pays me to do a super epic paint job (Like yours) I would spend 10-15 hours just getting all the details and repainting over areas that needed it!

But hey if he likes it that's all that matters!

>>54630211
well, you could offer to touch it up for him sometime (fo free), if you feel bad about it.

like another hour of work, and that model would look all the better.

>>54630242
yeah, he was pretty impressed with it, which is good. A lot of my friends always tell me my painting is great because they don't paint as well, so I guess I shouldn't worry so much about it.

Hey /wipg/, I have a conundrum. I've played Dark Angels for a long time. They were my first army. I have never finished painting the army however, as I had gotten out of 40k for a while and had lost a good number of my models in the move. I have since replaced them but did so in bulk (a mistake, I realized, hobby-wise), so I have a LARGE number of unpainted models. I had initially decided that I wanted to get a 2,000 point force of Dark Angels painted before working on anything else as they are my first army and feel as if I'm doing a disservice if they are not also the first army I get painted up.

But the new edition has brought with it a bunch of amazing looking models and I want to paint them up as well as they look like they'd be really fun to do so. The Primaris Marines won't be going in my Dark Angels Army per se, as they will end up being painted up as Blades of Vengeance, but I also want to do a force of Fallen for use in the Konor campaign. I also want the points for painting them up. There are so many things I want to paint, and as a result, I never finish anything completely.

tl;dr - Should I not really care what gets finished first in my painting lineup? Or should I stick to my guns as I have owned this army in some form for a very long time.

... and yes, I realize some people that know me may browse this and recognize me, so if they see it, hey guys!

>>54630266
I might do that, but I kind of want to move on. Also that trim on his armor was a massive pain in the ass to paint so I'm not keen on returning to it.

I got you dude. Here's 3 examples, all Reaper Bones.

Skelly man was primed with Vallejo black surface primer, applied with a brush. I haven't varnished him yet as I might do some touch ups.

The mimic (or mocking beast as Reaper calls it) wasn't primed with a normal primer. Instead I went over it with a thinned coat of brown paint just for a quick base (I used Army Painter for all of these) and varnished with the AP brush-on matte varnish.

The mushroom man was primed with white Army Painter spray, which worked fine on this and the bigger mushroom dude I painted. He was also varnished with the AP brush-on matte varnish.

I have no experience with spray varnishes but if you have any more questions, feel free to ask away

I usually use this primer in white & black, no idea how well it will work on Bones, also I mostly use the GW citadel paints. Should I just shell out some cash for the brands you mentioned?

also I saw this video and I'm worried that my paint will start to chip or be all tacky, did you ever have that problem?

I wouldn't worry about getting new paints my guy, I'm sure the GW ones will be fine. To be honest tho I have no idea if that particular spray primer would work, maybe try it on a cheap Bones? I do recommend the Vallejo brush-on stuff but that's mostly because its been humid where I am and I'm usually too lazy to take things outside to spray often (I live in an apartment so its a hassle). It comes in black, grey, and white I think.

I also wouldn't worry about the chipping thing. The paint was a little bit tacky but a couple coats of the varnish made it okay. I specifically got the Bones skeleton for a D&D game where I know it'll be tossed around with a bunch of dice in a bag. Of course all the other players got metal minis which I kinda complained about because I just KNOW those are gonna get chipped no matter how much I varnish. I'm the only mini painter, a blessing and also a curse.

Here's another mushroom man since you liked the other one. I've posted it a couple other times on here.

I RUINED EVERYTHING

>>54633591
Yeah I use the black one. I've used it on plastic, Bones, and metal. I forget where but I've read that the white brush-on isn't great? The black didn't go on in a completely solid 1 coat on the Bones mini but I felt it was smooth enough considering they're meant to be painted as is. I think a lot of it might be trial and error with these things, I would say just use whatever works for you.

Flamefists and no grenade launchers.

>>54635665

oversized power-fists, skinny legs and the weird rod between them. they also look like their about to fall over, much like several primaris models before them.

>>54635726
Chopping and replacing the fists with regular powerfists and having shoulder-mounted flamers will be an easy enough start, but the legs you'd have to either completely replace or use greenstuff to bulk them up. Personally, i'd replace the legs with something a bit more spread out and bulky, so as to avoid looking like you're too top-heavy

He looks like a high level sergeant/low level HQ.

If you want him to look like a high level HQ you need more shit on him. More bling, more laurels, more fancy filigree instead of a generic shield, not wearing generic Mk III legs.

The official Praetor model is wearing artificer Mk III. Look how different it looks compared to the normal Mk III.

I understand it's hard to find parts like this for 30k unlike 40k, so the easiest way is to add a cape like someone mentioned. Only HQs and important people ever wear capes.

Just paint over. If you are using the right texture, you shouldn't have any problem. I paint the base colors and then start with the faces; try to paint from the inside to the outside for avoiding difficult situations like that.

Try to lay down the strokes in such a way that the inevitably messy ends are cropped off by another line's edge, since getting edges neat is easier.

I think the criticism of over weathering was valid. Being criticised is more useful than people saying "good" and "wow."

>>54638760
Looks like the weathering was applied by randomly dabbing the model with a sponge. Look up photo references and copy them (try looking up WW2 Tanks or SM models done by better painters).

For quick and easy I'd stick to the edges and add small amounts of silver/colour of cermatie as opposed to thicker brown.

Decided to paint the sword black, all that's left is her power pack and I'll be done with my inquisitor. Thoughts? And how should I base her?

Trial marine taken as far as I want for a non character. Probably going to redo the Hei Matau on the shoulder, other than that what do you think?

I figure this is as good a thread as any to ask: What kind of glue/method do you use? The really thin cyanoacrylates seem to leave the smallest gaps and set the quickest, but since it's so thin the shit gets everywhere - including all over my fingers. I've tried some thicker formulations and while it's nice it doesn't run, I wind up getting blobs that are visible in joints and the set times can be problematic.
Anyone have some glue they prefer over others?

I've heard plastic glue should be avoided since it can really deform the piece you're working on.

>>54640081
Nah m8, plastic glue is what you want to use for plastics. You listened to the mouthbreathers

>>54640081
You won't ever deform anything with plastic glue unless you actually pour it over your model

>>54639972
I'd probably do the blade in metal, or something else that wasn't quite so similar to his armour.

>>54640081

Revell plastic glue is the key, it's the best you can get; clean, strong and fast. Also it doesn't get on your fingers.

>>54640081
>The really thin cyanoacrylates seem to leave the smallest gaps and set the quickest
Are you using the BSI insta-cure? Switch to their other products, the insta-cure sets too quickly and gets everywhere. You'll just have to hold it together for a few seconds.

>I've heard plastic glue should be avoided since it can really deform the piece you're working on.
Plastic glue is fine, just don't apply too much and have it get everywhere.

>>54640081
>The really thin cyanoacrylates seem to leave the smallest gaps

It DEMANDS the smallest gaps, as it's absolute shite at filling. If the parts don't fit exactly, it's going to struggle.

>but since it's so thin the shit gets everywhere - including all over my fingers.

Get a big needle. Cut off the very end of the loop for the thread, making a fork. Put a drop of superglue somewhere. Use the fork to pick some up and put on your model.

This goes for the thicker stuff as well. It doesn't make blobs automatically, it makes blobs because you pout a big blob of it on the model when a miniscule amount was enough.

>I've heard plastic glue should be avoided since it can really deform the piece you're working on.

Anyone saying this is someone you should never, ever take advice form on these matters, because he's either a complete moron or intentionally trying to screw you over. Smile, nod, leave as fast as you can without any sudden movements and get a restraining order on them.

Just stay away from the tubes. Get some Tamiya extra thin to be your default plastic-to-plastic cement, and some Revell contacta professional or similar precision tip stuff for when you need something that can fill gaps.

Can I get some advice. I'm assembling some Deathwatch marines, none of the weapons will obscure the body. Do I attach the arms and prime? Or do them separately and assemble after?

What do you guys usually use for pewter stuff?

>>54640641
For pewter I use two-stage epoxy and superglue to hold it together while the epoxy cures.

>>54640612
It would be fairly tough with Moloc, as not only is the head attached by default, it's also recessed into the armor. You'd have to saw off the tops and sides of the armor to extract it.

I think it might be easier (and cheaper!) to try and find another, similar head.

>>54640081
I've used this since I was introduced to it many years ago. I'm fairly certain it can bond everything short of water together.

>>54640829
That's what I figured, although I have seem some people remove the back part of the armor to expose the head, actually getting it off could be difficult/risky.

Just by chance, do you know any alternative heads that share the T visor style?

>>54640930
Hrm. Not off the top of my head, no. You could search FW's catalog of helmets, or take a trip over to Shapeways and see what you can find over there.

>>54641029
Ehh, in the grand scheme I'll probably just use the upper half of his torso the. The legs are easy enough to remove and the few things I don't like on the torso can be filed/green stuffed

>>54641114
It's a pretty nice model, too. I've had him sitting here for a bit while I test out paint schemes, and the detail is damn impressive.

>>54640612
Though luck, anon, the head is so deeply seated you'd have to murder the rest of the mini to extract it, nevermind resculpting the rear side of the head once you got it out. For that much effort I'd rather start looking for similar bits. I know some chaos warrior bits from AoS/Fantasy can be made into something similar with a bit of trimming and Greenstuff work.

>>54639403
Yeah I may go back over with a light amount of silver to apply chipping into weathered areas. I think I went overboard a bit with the sgt. Appreciate criticism and the tip about reference images. I always get excited weathering.

"Strip and repaint" is pretty lame as advice goes for anything that's not already so thick it can't just be fixed. I agree that criticism is more effective than praise - I post here pretty much expressly to recieve it and improve - but anons are gonna lash out at you if you give only "you did x wrong. Redo everything".
