Decided to trump color theory with canon on the agonizer. Where to go from here? Should the black get highlights? I'm thinking yes

>>54789289
Nice choice for the whip. And yes highlight those blacks but don't go with grays, too boring. With all those colours you have going on I am almost tempted to say try to give it a blue or violet highlights.

Trying for a blackened look on the sword, need to add more nuln gloss

>>54789386
I think it maybe needs a highlight on the very tip and edges of the blade, black is a cool choice for the sword though.
>>54789350
immense respect for anyone who tries to paint Lamenters, they're looking nice.
>>54789289
I really like that, I think dark blue/teal would be the way to go with highlighting the black

I have begun the significant undertaking of stripping 3000pts of 6 year old, crudely dry-brushed and washed orks and repainting them using highlighting instead.
I started with this mighty warrior.
>>54789289
Black generally looks a lot better highlighted, I'd say go for it.

So I'm curious do we know what kind of base size mortarion and typhus will be getting

Does it really matter if my typhus still has the old base he was one

Was thinking of trying to make a more Tzeentch themed heldrake, any ideas on how to do that well? I was thinking either simply greenstuffing warpflame on the back of wings and such, or maybe somehow incorporating parts of the phoenix from AoS but I'm not quite sure what to try yet.
>>54789583
Really depends on their size, but I'm guessing Typhus will probably remain a similar size and Mortarion will probably be about as big as Magnus.

>>54789751
If youre rich or happen to have the old sprues.
Use parts from the TombKing Necrospynx.

The Phoenix Wings are too small and even though Fire-Bird screams Tzeentch its more a Slaaneshi Iconography because of the ECs

>>54789826
Alright, thanks for the advice anon.

Which do you paint first: trim or main armor? I've seen Duncan do it both ways.

>>54790182
Main armor personally, then trim and all the small decals. Doing main armor first allows me to paint my layers more confidently and cover a bigger space while not worrying about the small shit seeing as that comes last.

>>54790182
first thing I do is basecoat everything so I can get a general feel of how the model is going to look. I normally take pictures beforehand and use photoshop to color in areas anyways, but this is just to be sure I have the right scheme going on. Then I do the main parts. Normally its going to be armor. After that I can do the little details at my own pace.

WIP Forgeworld Commissar who will accompany my platoon command squad. I'm laying down the base colors right now. Big changes in the next step: the red is going to be brighter, and the epaulets and tassels on his sash are going to be yellow. Also lots of gray highlights on the overcoat.
This figure is so detailed!

>>54790373

>>54790373
Remove the jump pack, helmet, and rock, then get your hands on a Canoness Veridyan and recreate this.

>>54790182
On big stuff like Knights or vehicles where the base coat areas are really easily accessible, I do the trim first because there's rather less chance of fucking up a little when negotiating corners, and with infantry and such I normally base first since then I can edge highlight and/or drybrush the smaller details since they're small enough for it.

>>54789166

I know he's pretty much the public face of GW and he has to be that way, but I love how cool Duncan is with fans.

I saw Duncan at Warhammer World in Nottingham yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for tips of the day or anything.

He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”

I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my Forge World shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like two thin coats of paint on his model without washing it.

The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to wash that first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the paint table.

When she took one of the models and started washing it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to wash them each individually “to prevent any thick pooling of wash,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a thing. After she washed each model and put them aside for an hour to dry, and started to talk about the next step in the process, he kept interrupting her by drybrushing really loudly.

I'm at my wits fucking end for trying to learn to blend/feather/glaze/whatever the FUCK it is called where your color transitions don't look like ass. Liquitex matte medium doesn't do much but thin it half-assedly, Vallejo airbrush thinner is nice to actually thin paints, but not dillute the color to do the thin layers, water isn't doing it for me because these bubbles form under the paint and when I'm applying the next layer it rips the bubbles and leaves depressions in the paint job. I just don't know what to do anymore...

Asked my friend about conversion ideas and he said to make an Astorath (a model I don't own nor plan to) proxy so I'm doing that. He's gonna join in as High Chaplain Carnarvon in my Flesh Tearers when he's done.

How's he looking?
So far I've replaced his Crozius head with a Axe Encarmine head, replaced his Inferno Pistol with a Bolt Pistol, and removed some of the flame filigree from his armor. I'm tempted to remove the wing gorget to further differentiate him from the stock model (and to give the sexy skull helmet more prominence) but I'm not too sure. What do you lads think?
Any opinions?

He's still just blutack'd together right now; I usually remove moldlines after the final assembly is completed.

So, /wip/, I come to you with a strange question.

I'm looking for a 'knightly', humanoid mech/golem/etc, that's more distinctly fantasy than scifi.

...And that's about 3-1/4"-3-3/4" tall, and isn't too pricey.

Any ideas or suggestions? I've considered the DreamForge Leviathans, but they're up there. Buying suitable model kits is considered too, but if there's something with a more traditional fantasy look, that'd be better.

>>54792874

Keep in mind you won't be able to use your Astorath conversion and Gabriel Seth at the same time due to GW's stupid new rules system where they insist on not allowing founding heroes to lead their successors.

>>54793641
There's an easy solution for that: Ask your opponent if he's cool with it, then play him anyway. Of course this might not work in a tournament, only for friendly games.

Here's the Based Komets one, my dude

Also, rather than posting twice, here's a nearly-finished Death Company marine. The lighting has completely killed the Leadbelcher base coat on the chipping/scratches. The camera only picked up the Runefang Steel highlight, so if the scratches look a little disjointed from the Fenris Grey highlight and Abaddon Black shadow line for the chips and scratches, that's why.

You like?

WHAT THE FRAK did GW just discontinue the basic Harlequin Troupe?!? It doesn't say "Temporarily out of stock online" it says "No longer available online"!

Using a Badger Patriot 105 and the Badger primer (stylenrez or whatever), what PSI should I be running at? I had it set to 18 but that didn't seem sufficient.

After the primer, what PSI should I be running at for Vallejo air paint?

Also, what are the dangers of using these products (+ Iwata airbrush cleaner) in a room with no window open? The primers/paints are acrylic so I can't imagine they'd be bad for you in any appreciable way.

>>54794138
I saw that one posted above, that one is more layers than it actually is the loaded brush. Death Company dude looks great, though.

>>54794189
They're repacking most kits with 8th rules and adjusted base sizes if they need them. I'm still pissed the 10 man GK squad went from $50 to $60 because of it...

>>54794200

Now I'm confused, the main page listing all Harlequin stuff says "temporarily out of stock" for both Troupe and Solitaire, and the Solitaire has the usual temporary notice on its own page. Did someone hit the wrong button? Are they really just putting out repackages?

Did forgeworld really get rid of the DKoK grenadiers? All I can find for them is the heavy weapons teams

>>54794340
Mould broke.

>>54794606

It doesn't sell enough for them to quickly bring out the master and make a new mold. Take a look what happened to marines when the hands changed/mold gets old. They IMMEDIATELY restock it, because it fucking sells.

All the Krieg fags get their shit from China anyway.

I got some Reivers to paint /wip/, and I'm torn if I should just paint them like the rest of my salamanders, or go for more of a tiger camo scheme to reflect their infiltrating nature.

finally painting up some more of my imperial guard, using the ones that have fought in the Fate of Konor fights as motivation to finish an actual battle ready force. So I have a question. Is there a spray or something that you can put on thats like a clear hard coat? I'm kind of worried that the paint will be rubbed/scrapped off with use, and I'd rather take an extra step during the painting process than have to go over it again some time down the road.

Well, that thing is awesome. Would need to find spots to mount the massive pile of guns on her and probably replace/upgrade the walkways, plus remove the whole mess of the tail fins and build in some proper engines, but it would certainly look good as a flagship once you've finished meching her up.

Currently working on an Admech airship a bit smaller than my original design to be a Marauder Destroyer, but I'm still looking for some autocannon and/or lascannon bits that wouldn't look heug on the side of it.

There are a number of things. The best protection comes from acrylic satin and gloss coats, which many manufacturers make, including GW. They'll leave your model pretty shiny though, so it's a good idea to research a few dulling topcoats like mr super clear Matt or testors dullcote. They don't have enough thickness to protect well by themselves

Is sealing models actually important?

Not sure if it's quite what you're looking for but skitarii ranger backpacks have censers on them, likely easier to source than deathguard bits.

First three painted in order from left to right. Im getting a bit better with doing the finer details but I'm having trouble with the brush and paint application. I'm sometimes not too sure how much paint i ought to have on the brush, as sometimes i feel like I'm basically dry brushing or im heaping on paint. Any tips on trying to keep the brushes fine point while still keeping a reasonable amount of paint on it? Also sometimes i feel like the brush is flaring out and has two little tips at the end which make some details frustrating to reach properly.

>>54797507
Oh my! I might take a look, I actually collect AdMech units. Thanks for the tip!

>>54797509
Oh I think you are misunderstanding my intention. I actually really want the censers, I think they add alot to the whole aesthetic, and it makes them unique. This of course ignoring the fact that I might not be able to even come close to that level of painting.

Slowly chipping away at my Crisis Team. Seem to be able to do half a suit a day, which means a team in a week. Not bad, I think?

The edge highlighting on these legs is fairly sloppy, might come back and clean it up in the morning, might not. Trying to avoid getting TOO caught up in details, I want to have a table-ready army sometime this decade.

Will superglue be enough to glue a Riptide to a resin base?

thanks, they are still very work-in-progress so im glad they dont look too bad.

i found that when I fuck up and use a little too much of the lighter color, I can make it blend a lot better by using a super watered down mid-tone which dull's the bright part and brings out the darker areas without getting rid of the contrast.

I've never used the Badger stuff, so I don't know if it's relevant, but I do use the Vallejo primer; if it's anything like that, you need to go higher (@ 25 for me is about right). Generally that's not full blast, though.
>Safe in a windowless room?
Acrylic's not a organic vapor risk, but particulates will still clog your lungs (eventually). I'd avoid working without ventilation; wear a disposable mask. Without a booth or a draft, you're going to end up with dust all over your work area, too.

primaris coming along well. going to start the black highlighting today

>>54797456
Black Templars are all about lanterns. Bringing the light of the Emperor to the unwashed heathen and all that.
Somebody already mentioned the Black Templar sprue, I'd just add that if you check out the Dark Angels Sprue and the Deathwing termie stuff they are stuff with actual cencers (not lanterns).
You could paint them to glow from the inside though.

Another thing to look at imo would be 3rd party bits (spellcrow sells templar tabards with a lantern dangling from it for example) or simply looking for some cheap arts and crafts beads. If you glue them on some twisted wire to represent rope they should look fine with a bit of detailing.

As one white paint anon to another: don't be like me, use pallid wych flesh, ulthuan grey, and white scar. Slowly build your whites with a light gray base and thin coats, it will come out far less thick and chalky.
Also, your purples need some highlights.

I don't know shit about airbrushes, so I don't really know what to look for.

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in art school, and I’ve been involved in numerous painting videos, and I have over 300 thin coats.

I am trained in gorilla washing and I’m the top hostin the entire warhammer tv team. You are nothing to me but just another viewer. I will paint your models with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words.

You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting Games Workshops secret network of spies across the world and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your paintjob. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can repaint your army in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands.

Not only am I extensively trained in drybrushing, but I have access to the entire arsenal of Citadel paints and I will use them to its full extent to wipe your miserable army off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue.

But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit agrax earthshade all over you and you will drown in it.

You’re fucking dead, kiddo.

Working on this little fucker. Any tips like why the fuck the drybrushed fatigues look grainy

>>54803736
>How are you achieving that? Scraping away with the hobby knife?
Yep, just using a cheap-o exacto knife to cut and scrape away material. I'm taking it slow and making sure to try and smooth out wherever I work to make it seem more natural.
Aside from the hobby knife, I just used a pin vise and part of a paperclip to pin the axe head onto the crozius haft. I've done conversions like that without pinning anything and they never turn out sturdy enough for me.

Why am I so bad? What can I do better?

>>54806671

That's looks bretty gud tho

>>54796675

if this actually is yours it's kinda amazing

>>54806671
I wouldn't consider that bad for a newer painter. Highlighting more is a start.

>>54806671
That not that bad, just keep practicing and you'll keep improving.

>>54806601
Thing is, it only looks like that in pictures. I guess I'll have to give up on phoneposting

>>54800126
Currently painting my Death Company and I want to kick my lack of edge highlighting ability in the balls. Painting black makes me want to shoot myself with a bolt pistol.

>>54797456

dark angels veterans box has shitloads of them

Figured I should actually get around to painting the Dangles that I've had sitting around for months. Finished the base coats and applied washes, just need to clean him up and highlight.

"better" image

>>54805058
Is that Gregor back thur?

>>54807184
Yeah, I fucked up his appendages and had to strip and re-prime them, so he remains forever unfinished while I paint my arbites.

>>54803188
That is amazing, I think you should go full fish with it. tentacles or giant frog legs also acceptable

>>54807210
make sure you post that bitch when you get around to him, Id love to see some Cleganebowl in here.

How do you paint leather, /wip/? Any tips?

Same with skin, too, thinking about it.

>>54807311
I do skin with a base coat of mournfang brown, mix in cadian fleshtone then kislev flesh, final sharp highlights of kislev flesh and P3 Menoth white highlight.
For black skin 50/50 dryad bark and black, pure dryad bark and mix in some bugman's glow for highlights

>>54807156
>>54807050
Robes look weirdly grainy and the weathering looks like cheeto dust, I'm really not a fan.

>>54807278
Yeah I've got his brother as well, so I'll cleganebowl the shit out of this board.

Does anyone know how big perturabo is?
could i convert one out of a lord of contagion?

>>54807393
hahaha
no

>>54807311
I do leather with a base coat of mournfang brown, a heavy wash of agrax earthshade to darken it, and then a highlight of mournfang. It's lazy, but it ends up looking like my work leather shoes, so I'm happy with it.

>>54807383
I assure you that's only the camera doing it, I really have no idea why. irl, the robes and everything else is smooth

>>54806476
Probably the primer, can come out bumpy in certain weather conditions.

Alright so I'm continuing with my "realistic" scheme.

What do you guys think about painting most of the details either white or silver?

>>54807129
Ha, the guy on the end was me testing alpha legion colors. I'm indecisive as fuck.
I have 3 squads of 7 and one of 14 in my death guard list.

[shocked anime reaction noises]

My Leviathan finally arrived, I'd forgotten what a chore working with resin is, no mold slips though so I guess it could be worse.
post leviathans for inspiration please

So pic related isn't exactly working for me. Anyone found a better method for AL?

>>54809029

Theres a metallic blue Vallejo paint

>>54809029
Ghost Tint paints are great for this sort of thing, you could brush paint them but for best results you do need an airbrush.

>>54791596
>>54794019
Update, I've attempted the loaded brush technique and it's fucking wonderful...on large surfaces... Anyone have tips on how to actually apply it to minis without making a fucking mess of things on the model?

>>54802650
As someone else who will be painting white soon, are you basing with ulthuan grey (assuming the fact that it's a layer paint doesn't really mean much if you've primed it white/grey), layering with wych flesh and the then highlighting with white scar?

Here's a mock-up of a Cronos I'm working on that I got back when Dark Artisan was still a thing. I'm planning to impale a guardsman on the raised tentacle so the Cronos is staring him in the face as his soul is sucked out.

>>54798975
>Wondering which other Marvel heroes to have my grots cosplay as to complete the squad

Well, as insulted as I am that you're including Spider and Wolver...

Vision comes to mind. War Machine. Black Widow and Scarlet Witch if you're up for gender bending. Hercules, because he pairs well with Thor. Black Knight.

>>54810124
Looks really interesting, makes me want to knock up construct/monster things out of my spare minis to use for RPGs.

>>54810481
looks pretty good, I think maybe the purple could stand to be a little brighter though.

>>54810481
I magnetized it too

>>54810548
I was thinking maybe a shiney varnish on the purple would help?

>>54810584
Is that so you can swap weapons/stuff out? seems like a massive effort to do that on troops and I'd just save it for your Vectors desu

>>54810584
Waaaaay over magnetized desu.

>>54810584
Is there even a point to magentizing these guys?
I'd just save it for the Warjacks

>>54810616
I wanted to get the hang of it before doing it on other models and I thought being able to pose my guys during battle might be neat

>>54810124
You took a rather expensive bit that's often in high demand and used it as the face for a throwaway deldar fatty.

>>54810865
I once saw someone put Cyrus's plasma pistol on a generic Marine sergeant. It's baffling to me how people can spend so much money on a single model that isn't even that important.

>>54810865
That's the spirit vortex from the Cronos/Talos set, and only two bucks on ebay. What did you think it was?

>>54810124
Literally drill a hole in a guardsmans chest and slide him over it. It works so much better than clipping it to be on both sides.

just converted a Visarch into Drazhar.

Thoughts? I still need to drybrush and finish ringing the base.

>>54812894
I like the paintjob, but the highlights on the cape could be cleaned up.

The backpack windvanes maybe look a bit too Craftworld?

>>54798860

what is thinned paint

>>54809895
>>54809873
hey I just want you guys to know that you posting these images made me investigate FLCL to get the reference and I ended up watching the entire series in one go

Thanks for that. holy crappola that was a beautiful show.

Is there a better alternative to averland sunset? How is VMC gold brown?

>>54798860
That moldline in the middle helmet, jesus christ.

Also thin paints.

>>54798860
Anon, you need to thin your paints more, be moee careful with your brush, the paint is all over the place, and why in the fuck are your minus left at the basecoat stage?

>>54802281
Nice Exorcists, the coils are good too.
