Finally getting into painting and have been trying some colors out on a spare sprue my friend let me have instead of ruining any of my models not knowing what I'm doing.

While the color I was trying to replicate was that Marine in the top left I put in, I think that the color of Loren Forest with Biel Tan green over it looks very nice, and might be what I end up using. What do you guys think?

I have a few questions though.
Are my paints not thin enough? It doesn't seem like my base coat really effected the end color, my layer paints over the grey primer look mostly the same as the layer paints over Waagh Flesh does. Is that like a paint thing or what?

Is there a way to make washes go on evenly? I noticed even on this small scale, it's a little hard to make the color of the wash go over completely smooth and you'll end up with a kind of marbled look from it. Which I feel would be fine on smaller models like Marines, but on larger things like Dreadnoughts and vehicles it might not come across as well.

Is there a way to get primer on better? Is it just that I'm using cheap primer, or that it was somewhat humid today (but not terrible, or hot weather, it had rained earlier today though) but my primer just feels like it's a little like dusty or grainy when it goes on the plastic.

>>54737688

https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/Downloads/CitadelPaintingSystem.pdf

use this chart my little niglet. It has a variety of green recipes on it.

Your paints look pretty thin nigga, using a colored under or basecoat is mostly to make it easy to get an even topcoat, unless doing glazes or the like. A darker undercoat will tend to darken the model a bit though, and show less if you happen to miss like an armpit or something with your layer paint.

Washes are tricky. Less on your brush is the key. You dont want to slop that shit all over the model, you want control. Ideally you just carefully apply it to the recessed areas. Marines are easy to wasy since their armor breaks them into parts. Wash one foot, then one lower leg, then one thigh etc. The smaller area you can wash complete the more fucking uniform the shit fucking looks nigga.

mold lines on the backpack and red thing on his waist.
Paint looks a bit thick and splodgy it's especially noticiable on the shins.
Lots of areas where the paint is "out of the lines" but nothing a little touching up won't fix.
The highlights on the tabbard need to be smoother, needs more water/medium in the mix next time.

>>54738548
Is that a Red Scorpion?
Looks good, I like the shading on the black and how the blue purity seals look.

>>54738635
The old Citadel Vermin Brown. The modern equivalent is Skrag Brown, but I can't comment on how close the two are in colour.

So, in regards to recast resin modeling, from a total outsider's perspective, what will I need? I've looked at the Forge World guide to normal modeling and this is what I've come up with. I've got a few questions about some of these items.

Hobby knife (Do they mean an x-acto knife type blade?)
Clippers (Are there alternatives to Geedubs Good Goy Brand Clippers tm?)
Super glue (Again, will any old super glue work, or do I have to hand my shekels over to GW for some super Jew?)
Drill/pin vise
Files
Sandpaper
Saw (Are these just for removing large gates?)
Dremel
Mask for dust
Liquid green stuff

Is my list of stuff good? What brands should I get?

use a big brush? I can't imagine it would be much different than painting smaller models. Easier probably, but you have to be a little more careful with highlighting because it might be harder to make it more natural.

Reposting from last night. Did up the Dark imperium death guard, now wildly annoyed that it only comes with a single plasma gun after a game today. Also super quick alpha legion color test on the side. I'm debating turning the white armor of my army to Alpha Legion colors, but most likely not. Maybe rubric marines later in the color. I like the green-blue hue style.

>>54741266

Yeah, here's a tip for you: don't accept commissions for jobs that you need to ask for advice on.

Hate to sound like a dick, but I wouldn't be taking money if I wasn't completely confident I could tackle the project. Obviously we learn on every piece we do but still.

I'm not familiar with the medium but I've seen people use oils on larger busts a lot. I've heard it's easier to blend over large surfaces.

>>54741266
try to basecoat it and work from there? its like any other model in a way. Kinda like painting vehicles, where blending is harder, as are highlighting, but its not a huge deal. but you should have probably practiced before accepting a commission. You can look on putty and paint to see examples of bigger models to get some inspiration. busts are also a lot easier with an airbrush.

Night Lords Anon here again. The colors in the picture are kind of fucked because the red doesn't show right in the lenses and on the aspiring champion's chest, which I painted red to mimic the NL symbol since there was already a skull there. It felt fitting. Next are the bases, Bf then I'll get to work on the arms and finally the plasma gun. I'm putting those off because I don't feel like cleaning my combi-plasma since they're resin, and there's a slight possibility that my axe upgrades will be, though very unlikely. Still, I might keep the claws since they're a point cheaper as of the Codex, but we'll see.

How do I work on them? They're a lot softer than GW models I've handled and there's a lot of clean up work to do.

>>54743237
heres the lowdown:

first, give them a gentle scrubbing in some warm soapy water to remove the mold-release chemical they spray it with. otherwise your paint will flake off.

secondly, you need to remove all the bits of flash and sprue. because of the nature of resin, you may want to soak it in warm water so when you clip it it doesnt crack. i learned the hard way and snapped a kriegs cloak right off.

wear a mask when filing, sanding or even clipping. resin is highly toxic.

superglue only, polycement will not work.

i havent had problems stripping them but dont let them soak in any chemicals too long, or they tend to go bendy and stay that way. no longer than an hour in spirits or 24 hrs in a cleaner like dettol.

Depends on the project and the color scheme - for those DE boats (and that whole army) I primed black, but went for grey when doing goblins and trolls.

Since I literally can't post a batrep in /40kg/ without people sperging about my Guardsmen I'm on a quest to touch up all of my infantry. I'm on 15 of 75 and losing shit already.
Are there any tricks to do easy faces without just a slap of fleshtone and some wash?

>>54744751
Faces are never easy and you should not disregard the fleshtone + wash, because it's an important first step.

You go basecoat -> wash -> highlights -> extreme highlights and if you don't want it to end in madness, don't paint eyes.
You can either glaze or stiple brown/ grey for beards and stubble and do eyebrows and it'll work just fine.

I'm sick and tired of seeing all those cancer patients without eyebrows and hair everywhere.

>>54743581

Yup. Happened to me, and I only discovered it fairly recently. I had a bunch of old stuff in an old Dark Future box; RT/40K, WH, some old metal Blood Bowl minis, plus lots of older stuff, along with the sweet, sweet Dark Future cultists I was looking for.

Buried in there were some old unpainted Paranoia minis. Or what was left of them. They were caked in shit which I thought was just grime they'd accumulated over the years, I brushed it off and what was left was like something out of Pompeii.

The white looks awful (like I have any room to criticize - pic related!). Please tell me you haven't gotten that far yet and there's going to be a lot more work on the white parts to give them some depth - whether by using washes, or going back in with greys or off-whites, or both!

he meant you're an idiot, and your paintjob looks like shit

I was talking about my hobby with a female and while explaining different painting techniques and such I realized that maybe it has a lot in common with applying makeup? I know nothing about makeup really but now I realize that there is foundations and shades and highlights.
Maybe it's the same kind of satisfaction: painting a miniature nicely and making your face pretty..

>>54746074
He was confused why you would consider a simple 'colour within the lines' gold emblem on a shield to be difficult and so, facetiously told you how it's done. First a brown base and then a gold layer. No further instructions because it's the simplest process you could imagine.

I hope that cleared it up. Also, trim your nails you fucking ogre.

>>54746279
Why am I an idiot? For using two colors?

Paint job looks shit because the model was shit looking to begin with.

>>54746349
That wasn't very clear at all. If I wanted it to be gold then why not just paint it gold?

And my nails aren't that long you cunt.

Fuck this general sometimes.

>>54746074
>>54737742

There's a pot of brown paint on the table, which is the closest colour to the gold on the shield. I believe confused anon thinks the brown came out gold somehow, instead of the 'brown' paint on the table being gold.

Anon this general can sometimes be a harsh and mean place full of critics and meanies but you still gotta learn what an undercoat is you fucking mong.

Many paints are slightly transparent which means the color under it is very important in the overall appearance of your finished mini

>>54746387
Because certain colours cover other certain colours better than others. A brown base colour makes gold look better. But yeah if you're happy then whatever, there's no great reason why your paint job should have been frustrating, you've only done the most basic of steps.

Shaky hands. It's a bit concerning since my Grandpa got diagnosed with some form of Parkinson's a few years ago but i only shake when doing something really tedious like threading a needle, untying really small knots or painting really fine details.

Supposedly the realease agent from both companies can be harmful so you should wear a mask when cleaning your sprues.

In practice very few people ever wears masks.

>>54747458
Use at least a dust mask if not an actual half mask if dry-sanding/ scraping resin - or anything else for that matter. Pulmonary fibrosis isn't fun and can be avoided easily.
Use a half mask certified for organics and solvents when priming or spraying and ideally during heavy airbrush use but realistically most people just use one of those shit paper masks while airbrushing anyway.

It does look like either an internal blast that blew the side open - or like something very strong ripped it open with massive force to get to the goodies inside.

im planning on painting it as a grey knights vehicle since me and the buddies have a lot of Daemon/chaos forces and it would fit with the theme. if so then i could flick some Blood for the blood god paint onto the insides as well with some silver power armor fragments.

what did you use to cut the Landraider Open?

>>54751375

>>54751445

I really like that, nice!

>>54751375

Gorgeous!

>>54751478

I started by tearing it into the two side assemblies, the roof, the front doors and the floor. then sawed one side assembly in half.
Then i took my sprue clipper and clipped/tore at all the sawed edges so it looked like it was blown to pieces. the front assembly parts i also just tore to pieces, warped them and then put them back onto the reconstructed land raider. i also took some engine-looking parts and put them into the cavities in the side assemblies so it didnt look all hollow in there.

The cracked floor below is from a "battlefield in
a box" set of craters that i glued the land raider onto so it would fit seamless onto my battle mat that has the same color as the edges of the craters.

>>54751445
what did you use on base? Cork for rocks? I'm curious about ice and that black rock in front

>>54751667

Cork for Rocks, black rock at the front is a small piece of slate, the ice was made by holding a spare flying stem over a candle until it gets soft and pulling it apart... so it gets really thin and clipping it off! (really simple)

Here's the Primaris captain with a much more brilliant purple highlight, I wanted to try and give my alpha legion the look of a warp energy hue and he got a little too heavy of a stream.

How did you manage such a dark smooth red?

>>54745761
what a lost opportunity to not call them serafin

Can't really find a picture for this.

But how would I go about creating an impact "explosion" from a knight stomping? Sandy base so there'd be grit and such radiating out from the foot

That sounds like an awful place for checkers to be.

>>54752421
Looks like khorne red or maybe shaded

>>54752751
Start with milliput. Make a flat area the shape of the knight's foot and a slightly raised ridge around it. Build up an uneven slope outside the ridge. Use a modelling tool to cut cracks into it, radiating out from the centre.

Let it dry. Then apply PVA glue to the surface. Lay down lines of it with a brush in a star shape centred on the impact zone. Drop sand onto the glue, then tap it off. Let that layer dry and do the same again. After doing this a few times you should have sand all over the base with a visible 'grain' making a blast pattern.

Probably best to test this on some card or something, because getting it to look just right will take some practise.

Also, you can add extra detail, like big bits of debris gouging paths out, finer sand nearer the impact site with larger pieces thrown further and so on.

Ideally, try to find or make some real-world examples. Go stamp in some sand and see what the result looks like. Research from life often gives better results than copying someone else's idea of what it should look like.

The only vallejo metallics I've got are their airbrush ones; brassy brass, bright bronze, chainmail silver and chrome. They are about as shiny as the GW equivalent and actually seem to have finer metal particles in them, because I can't really see individual ones while they are just about visible in my citadel paints.

Generally, for non-airbrush metallics I would use citadel anyway because you often want to drybrush them and it's easier to do that if you can just dip the brush right into the pot.

Hey /wip/ thoughts on my second nid ever? For the first I went for a much darker blue skin colour and it was pretty terrible. I am personally happier with this, I feel that my next steps are to sort out the shades so they are thinner and straighter and maybe in the future do something with the wings. Anything else I am missing as a beginner?

>>54740214
Did you use primaris parts for these? They look a little tall for manlet marines

>>54753154
Thanks,

I've been looking at videos, only sand near me is in Playgrounds and a mid-20s guys stomping around in a sandbox for children is a great way to have the police called.

Can't believe I didn't think of miliput, my idea was using card to somehow cut a pattern then use glue to attach sand. yours is much better

Working on my own homebrew Chapter of Space Marines.
I wanted to go for something like the Space Shark/Carcharodons Astra, but didn't want to do all grey, and they like MK6 armour a lot. They will be a Primaris Ultima Founding Chapter made to preform a similar roll to the older Space Sharks.
I'm also an 80's kid and love GI Joe's Cobra forces. While emulating their look, I didn't want to completely rip the Cobra icon, so went with this instead (maintaining an 80's vibe).
What do you guys think?

>>54753592
I approve of this only if there is a Captain Destro who seems to have ulterior motives than serving the Emperor and is an AL imposter

Couple of bits to tidy up there, but I really like the eyes. They look very buglike, which is extra Nurgley.

How does Agrellan Earth work out in the end? The end result looks fantastic IMO but does it end up flaking off or anything like that?

change the staff, give him an empire battlemage staff, change the sword too. Although he will be smaller than warhammer fantasy battles figures, and therefore a LOT smaller than age of sigmar figures.

I'll represent Destro as a Chaplain maybe and others as Assassins or AM allies. For example, I am thinking of representing Storm Shadow with an Eversor.

Looks very good for a beginner 2bh.
Only things I would do would be more and stronger highlights, particularly around and on the gun as it's a fairly monotonous browny-grey , and I'd perhaps lighten the centre of each wing "panel" but that would take an airbrush.

Very good effort though

>>54747577
I think it looks pretty good, Anon. Good job!

>>54753717
It'd be a good way to explaining them turning Renegade eventually ;)
Zartan would make a good Callidus assassin.

so today I bought some Kataphron battle servitors and I wanted to ask if the Destroyers would look good with The Breacher Breastplate, since I really want to have them be Kataphron Destroyers, but that Breacher Breastplate looks so noice

Alright guys I can't paint faces. I really and seriously cannot paint them properly, I tried so many times now and just gave up.
What is the best conversion for IG guardsmen with helmets ?

Is this a complete airbrush starter kit minus the air compressor?

>>54756130

Need moisture traps if compressor doesn't include any. Also need badger adapter if compressor doesn't come with one. Might also need electrical tape for air hose.

Are aerosol airbrushes any good or is it one of those things where you get fucked for taking the cheap way out?
