So I have a Grymkin army for Hordes and I'm going to convert them to have a Bloodborne look.

I'm going to take pic related and turn their pumpkin heads into giant masses of eyeballs.

Any other ideas for conversion ideas?

>>54756459

Bloodborne is real hot for trenchcoats, robes, and shades of grey so that would be my advice to add. The Winter Lanterns wore robes if I remember correctly.

WIP Sorcerer on Jump Pack. The basing isn't finished and highlights need to be applied, but otherwise how's he look?

>>54756858

He looks okay, but he needs more definition. You should do a (very thin) highlight pass on the gold with silver, and crank up another shade of grey on the blackest parts of the armor. Right now it's pretty undefined. Case in point: can't even see the teeth on the central pack buckle without zooming in really.

It's a solid start you just have to take it a little further.

>>54756928
In my defense the lighting where I live is really shitty, the gold looks brighter under normal circumstances.

>>54757032

Sure but cranking up the contrast is rarely a bad thing. Did you ink wash it?

I've gotten a lot farther than I did when I last posted here asking about ideas for wheels.

Here's an update on my progress.

>>54757627
Drybrush highlight the red chassis with whatever color suits your fancy and it will help a lot. It just needs to be broken up a bit and it will help all the details pop out. Maybe something like a dusty beige.

There isn't much to do other than simple asthetic choices like putting a gloss over the larger metallic parts, maybe a few blast marks, some battle wear.
Overall, though, you did an excellent job, the red does look a touch thick, but it is still a good first time job. You've got a knack for it for certain.

>>54757837
Yeah, the only real camera I've is my fucking ancient smartphone camera (I've got a tablet one, but using that as a camera is awkward as hell).

As for details.... considering the entire thing is made out of chopped up sprues and strips of the plastic straps used on large packages, what you're seeing IS the detail (along with the disastrous glue jobs on the front. Need to see if I can clean that off somehow without damaging things too much).

>>54757167

Reikland fleshshade is usually a better choice for gold IMO. The redness fits the gold better, give that a pass on a model and see how it looks.

Building a crisis team even though they're shit this edition.

Thinking of leaving the antennas off of the squad leader's head. And I've build him with Iridium bits because they look cooler. (It's all dry fitted with blutac, still need to do cleanup before this thing gets anywhere near a spray can.)

Legs on the right are mostly done, could probably tidy up the highlights though. This is only my second unit ever so I'm still learning a lot.

Hightop Walkingtall

>>54758708
Yeah, all the arms are already magnetised. Unsure if I want to magnetise the shoulders, or just rely on friction; the weapons seem to slot in nicely unpainted already, so painted it should be pretty snug. Magnets would mean less wear and tear though.

So... looking into paints, and does anyone make paints that come out of the container at the consistency they're actually meant to be used at?

Cause I'd really like to use the paint I'm paying for, not waste a third of it. I guess a wet palette would help with some of that, but it wouldn't help a bit with drybrushing wastage.

>>54759517
You could transfer your paint to larger bottles and add some flow-aid into the mix. It's what a lot of people do when transferring GW paints to droppers.

Dry brushing will always waste paint though, that's unavoidable.

>>54759517
I haven't dry brushed in god knows how long
(I'm the guy who paints fine details but leaves parts of the models black)
Tbh though alot of cheaper quality paints come out fairly think which I did find easier to dry brush with but I would suggest either get a larger container for the paints or buy a lower quality paint specifically for dry brushing

Hey, guys. I'm slightly new to painting, and I've been following lots of tutorials. I'd like to branch out into doing my own color schemes, but I don't really know where to start. How do you guys pick what you'll paint Your Dudes?

>>54759767
Look at a color wheel and pick two complements.

Or doing anything at all, really. Just keep putting two colors next to each other until something resonates with you. There's no rules.

For Tyranids I like to look at flowers. For Space Marines I dartboard.

>>54759767

That would mostly depend on the models, but if you're newish to miniatures but not art in general I'd suggest sticking to 2-4 main colors and 1-2 (simple & complementary, e.g. black & white or gold & silver) accent colors, not including a realistic skintone.

>>54759767
If you're having trouble visualizing in your head or even while using a color wheel, it may help to go out and buy a cheap coloring book with some colored pencils. I know that sounds pretty dumb but its cheaper than using paint only to discover some colors just don't go. It'll give you a feel for color even if you stick to the typical colors of whatever is in the book.

Otherwise just keep looking at examples and maybe watch videos on color theory. Do what makes you feel creative and gives you a feeling of wanting to continue.

>>54759837

>>54759865
Thanks, anons. You've been helpful. I know a bit about heraldic rules. Should I obey the rule of tinctures, and pair colors like red, green, blue, brown, black, etc. with metallics like gold, silver, copper, brass, etc.?

Still a work in progress but here's my Red Scorpion Termies and also my first real attempt at edge highlighting and glowy power weapons

>>54756858
Nothing about him says sorcerer to me. Could easily just be a raptor sergeant.
Staff is an obvious one, but I understand you may want sword for combat reasons over the staff.
Needs some form of cloth maybe.
Robed legs for example. There's some good Greenstuff tutorials.
Familiar floating with him could do a good job of making him feel magical.
Also things like a small book on his belt or some green stuff energy swirls.

>>54757139
Looks like he's in hysterics, laughing.
I think that would be a cheeky base if you kept it that way.
But I assume the intent is he's wounded and screaming in paint, so bloody paintjob will convey that nicely.
Good stuff.

>>54759896
My genuine honest answer?

Do that if it looks good to you and you like it. Yes, it will often look best that way. But ultimately all that matters is that it's Your Dudes and they end up the colors you want them to be.

>>54757246
Try not to basecoat with a large drybrush

Nice job blending the pinks on the weapons too

I was looking up guides on red scorpian schemes and decided to check forgeworld as well only to find out that the yellow is meant to be metallic yellow gold, why does everyone does theres in just yellow?

>>54760237
Cuz yellow is also an option but mostly cuz old old paint scheme like back when ultramarines were blue and yellow like rogue trader days

>>54760237

The gold might be HQs only. Carcharodons have this bronze colored metal but their HQ is in gold.

>>54760237
The imperial armour volumes describe their scheme as "charcoal grey and mustard yellow trim"

So I use dawnstone and averland sunset respectively

Thoughts on the metallic colour ?

Hit that shit with the nuln oil my nigger

I thought that metalic was thick at first but it just looks like its too bright

Nice robes

>>54764644
Way too bright and uniform. A wash might darken it down and add some variation but I feel like you've started with too bright a colour.

>>54764601
no

>>54764601
It's really tricky, because brush painted is always going to have a thicker layer of paint than airbrushed stuff, as such the stenciled paint tends to more clearly sit on top of the coats underneath, it's not usually a good look.

>>54764772
That's a good point I hadn't considered. I was mostly worried about the paint bleeding in under the stencil, but the layer buildup sounds like a pain too.

>>54764681
>>54764686
I always heavily wash metallics with Nuln oil, so it should be okay then

>>54764796
bleeding underneath the stencil is indeed also an issue (especially if you thin you paint a fair bit to ensure the coats are as thin as possible), though there are brands of self-adhesive stencils that generally prevent that from happening, but that doesn't fix the build-up.

>you could always paint an eye on it
Oooh, I like that, some sort of squid monster focus. He's an Eldritch Knight so it's basically a magic fighter, but I can always give him a squid familiar.

Which liquitex medium is the best for thinning paint that I'll be using to do feathering/blending/whatever the fuck it is for stuff like force weapons and smooth paint transitions on stuff like cloaks? I've seen thinning medium, glazing medium, blending medium and it's confusing as to which I should get.

>>54765301
Damn, I always love a good proxy like that.
Also really nice job on the white/red pattern, that shit is always the hardest for me cause of how easy it is to accidentally smudge the red

Is there a way to dissolve the super glue without fucking the model or primer on it?

>>54765722
if you want to break it apart then freezing it then scraping the glue off would probably work

>>54765722
You can soften superglue with acetone.
Acetone however destroys paint and plastic. So only do that on metal minis.

If you want to take a plastic model apart try putting it in the freezer and then breaking it apart.

Just started work on my Warshrine of Nurgle, which I'm basing on the Skaven Screaming Bell and was looking for some inspiration for suitably nurglish conversions to it.
Currently I'm thinking of making the front covered by a trophy rack containing various noteworthy trinkets and eminent individual's skulls which have been vanquished in battle. The Rat Ogre will ofc be converted into a Spawn. I'm going to fluff the arch that's holding up the bell as some important dwarven doorway defiled by skaven iconography which has then been exhumed by my globetrotting Nurgle Army. Other than that I'm kinda undecided regarding ideas.
I especially need some help coming up with a more suitable iconography to cover the bell with as the skaven face seems way out of place for WoC.

Vallejo do a 16 paint set for their Gamer Color range called "Introduction". As it sounds like it literally has every colour you'll need and you can mix some of the black or white included to get darker or lighter shades

Even though yours are much better made, I can't help but spot similarities in our approach. Both of us have IG on muddy bases, paint on a green table and use a paper as background for the photos. I haven't touched a thing in almost 3 years though, thinking of picking it up again.

>>54767432
This really depends on what you are painting. Vallejo in general has paints I like in good containers with (mostly) good pigment count and coverage. They sell a "Game Color Set Suitcase" for a little under us$200 that has 70 colors and is a pretty comprehensive pallette of colors for fantasy/scifi figs. If you are doing historicals, particularly modern-era, you'll want a set of colors to match common military uniforms/vehicles, which Vallejo also does

Cheers! The bulk of it is a mixture of PVA glue, sand and sawdust to form it. But the colour is Stirland Mud from GW, which also gives it a bit more texture.

This pic is from when I was in the middle of adding more mud to my vehicles.

what's a good way to paint bone?

Right now I'm thinking this:
rakarth > ushabti > agrax wash > ushabti > 2nd highlight

>>54767878
That's good for old skulls, replace rakarth with Zandri dust and agrax with reikland fleshshade for fresh skulls

>>54766813

perhaps with some luck a bits reseller (or random 40k player) has them, price per piece will probaby be absurdly high with shipping etc but still better than a whole box.

>>54767906

Not sure what to pick now, I think old ones as I'm painting them on the GK stormraven proxy corvus, and GK don't seem like the ones sticking fresh skulls on things.

you'd think so but in fact the marines shoulders usually dont fit flush with the arm and should almost always be attached after the arms to prevent posing fuckups

fit everything in place and test it out before you open up the glue bottle though

probably. I can understand people owning OG Sqauts and playing them as guard.

People buying Kharadons and using them in 40k without them being obviously categorized in any army/Unit is just plain Proxying to be honest.

Dear WIP.

I'm forced off work for 2 weeks because of a serious injury. During which time I will have nothing to do and also be high as fuck on opiate based pain killers (I'm light weight I know.)

Question. In my collection there are 14 armies that need painting. Two of which I am playing with, one of which I might play with.

Which is easiest to paint while high?

A: Ultramarines
B: Sisters of Battle - Order of Our Martyred Lady

and the runners up,

C: Nurgle Daemons
D: Cadians

I'm going to guess C is easiest followed by A? Sisters feel like I have to many areas to avoid fucking up. Marines and Nurgle just have solid color fields.

>>54769279
I don't think I could ever paint while high so I have no idea. I would start making terrain honestly since it's hard to really fuck that up.

>>54769279
Ultramarines

Nurgle daemons arent that bad when you fuck up, because their main aesthetic is being happy ugly sacks of shit.

Your Cadians will get in trouble with the commisar if you paint them little weed-leaves on their Lasguns

All in all great quality wörk ...the painting of the hammer looks like pic related

>>54769364
mind sharing how you did the white, i'm about to start an apothecary and that'd be pretty helpful.

I saw your post on fb.
Mini itself is really great, base doesn't hold up sadly.

>>54760121
I need to know how you did the weapons.

>>54758121
you're a git, I was gonna do that and now it'll look like Im ripping you off when I finally post my own shit

>>54769355
pretty good anon, what did you use to make it?

>>54762721
Look up the AoS spider Grot shaman for your next git, those are great! Is Iron Man gonna be in a Killa Kan?

Muddy IG, green table, and paper background anon here. I really like your stuff, and I don't think it's at all better than yours. The mud splattered all over that Basilisk is awesome, and your artillery officer is evocative. I like his urgent and imperious air, definitely a feeling that an artillery officer should evoke. And you could have fooled me, being three years out of practice.

Main structure and top floor is foamcore, the accents on the front and floor are cardboard, whole thing is then covered in texture paste. The structure itself is actually based on a great template put out by Miscast Terrain. Dude is seriously talented and is criminally undersubbed on YouTube.

Good to know, wanna make a batch of terrain soon but seeing these results ill follow this pattern.

Yeah I was experimenting with a "Molten" kinda look. I'll probably keep it.
>>54769441
It's just ulthuan grey as a basecoat. Recess nuln oil shading and pure white highlights.
Here's the rest of my army so far as well

>>54769377
Good idea. I was considering some light flocking to give a similar effect, but didn't want to commit too hard until I came up with a general theme for this terrain set.

>>54769232
Looking solid
I think the red could use a bit more defined highlights

>>54757011
i dont see any stormeagles look alike, that's not wysiwyg bro. You need bigger rocket. Shame, your conversion have potential.

>>54767213
Please teach me master.
How did you do that ?

>>54767213
I like that worn out gold, but as some other anon said, it looks more like tarnished silver, amazing job though

got some more work done on my limo, not sure to what to do with the sidewindows yet but i mocked up the front hooverpads, the suspension is made from a land raider sponson mount and a 1/24 truck part

>>54769729

Just a question, I always wanted to know the proper measurements for such a piece of terrain if I'm going to put minis in it. Care to tell me? I don't want to build it too big or too small.

No one else said it, but I will: I'm not lovin' it, but I am lichen it

>>54770194
Yeah perhaps. But these are definitely just tabletop standard, and to complete an army. The next Warmahordes army I paint will be to a far higher standard.

How can one small insignificant detail that gets glued on backwards create so much emotional and physical pain?!? 4 hours in, and I literally sawed the fucker of, will have to re-do it all in GS in the morning.... sigh...

The length and width dimensions can vary depending on what you're thinking. Play a little bit and always do rough sketches with your minis in mind. What really matters as far as scale is concerned is height. 3 inches from floor to ceiling is standard for 28mm scale.
As far as windows go, sketch them onto your walls and see what you think. It's about .75 inches to a Space Marine's waist. That is typically the scale I go off of.

did you do the Icarus the wrong way?

Well friends, this here poxwalker is my first ever Warhammer dude. I got the snap-fit poxwalkers and Plague Marines. Also the WH40K and AoS starter magazines, so I have those 2 minis as well as the Start Collecting Nurgle Daemons coming soon. What I can say is removing the moldlines from this plastic is a lot easier than getting them off the Bones material and the regular metal that Reaper uses.

>>54770364
This is so damn cool.

>>54771037

No, it was a simple matter of me being a stupid ass idiot. When gluing on the end-piece for the leg-bolt, I accidentally made two left legs.... Needless to say, I immediately tried to get the small, shield-like piece of plastic, out of there but to no effect.
Now, 4 hours later, I finally got it loose... ish.

>>54771033

thank you very much sir

Ah, reminds me of the time I decided to make dual-wielding option for Chaos Warriors not realizing that certain arms hold different weapons.

Ended up with 10 chaos warriors with two left arms each.

>>54771312
The warp can be so cruel.

>>54771312
I did the same because I wanted all my Chaos Warriors to wield Swords

Axes are for faggots on period

... at least them being Chaos means you can pass it off as mutation?

I'm taking this whole conversation as a cautionary tale for when my Harlequin Troupe arrives.

any tips on how to save the top of this thunderhawk from my over use of nuln oil?

should i just go over the flat areas with the red paint again or dunk it in more wash in the hopes that it will come out less like shit

>>54772683
More wash will just exaggerate what you've already done. Run red over it and re-ink it if you have to.

>>54772812

gotcha, ty

& thanks to ppl in WiP threads in general getting pointers is always appreciated

Started playing 5e recently and decided to get into painting some figures. I'm using just some Testor's acrylic paints I picked up from a Michael's next to my job because no local game shops had paint and I didn't want to order a bunch of expensive paints if I wasn't that into it.

That being said, I'm liking it. This goblin is the second thing I've painted and I tried doing some highlights on the cape. Turned out okay-ish but took me forever.

Because I see other people using white and it looks amazing and my complex kicks in

>>54773207
Because highlights are for nerds, and your opponent being blinded by your pure 255/255/255 white army will give you an advantage in tournaments.
