/WIP/ - Painting/Converting/Sculpting General

Is there anything better than Averland Sunset for what it does? How does VMC Gold Brown compare, for example?

>>54815224
I've been really happy with p3 yellow paints. Good coverage and blends so smooth.

>>54815267
Thanks, I'll check them out.

Are they worth getting a squad of 5 or whatever? All I've heard is Hellblasters being the best Primaris unit, which works well for an all Primaris army like mine. I mainly just want to greenstuff their legs into proper legs and replace their dinky knives with cooler melee weaponry

Give them carbines and they're a good harassment unit. Strong enough to do damage if left alone, but tough enough that your opponent can't just send a throwaway unit after them.

>>54815366

lovely execution anon

really like the weaponshow did you them

Only gripe is maybe that there is too much variety in skin tones, I personnally think there should be just tones of purple and blue, but thats my opinion. Other people might find it awesome

Godspeed tzaangor anon

>>54815316
Looking good, you nailed the armor. You really should work more on those mold lines, though.

>>54815600
Carbines seems the go, I have been using a squad of 10 carbines and another of pistols and knives, the carbines pump out consistent performance while half the time the knives fall flat

My first ever painted miniature. I know the paint is a bit thick in places, and I will have to touch up the silver highlights.

Also I messed up on the fatigue and armour highlights, have to make them smaller and finer.

With a bit of practice on full guard blobs it'll be perfect!

Sorry my brain stopped working there for a minute.

But yeah, for my blog I've recently started I try to take pictures at-scale, if that makes sense.

>>54816684
That's what happens. Don't worry. When you're at a point when it still looks amazing in picture, you'll be a pro by then?

>>54816726
I guess if it looks good from a 'human eye' scale, then that's all it matters.

Is this your work? If so, that's stupidly amazing.

So, I bought a cheap rhino on ebay awhile back and finally got around to chaos-ing it up for my Night Lords. Shit was glued down, so I had to work around some stuff, but I'm honestly pretty satisfied. The launcher, gunner, and trophy pole are all magnetized, so I can take advantage of all the options CSM have for their rhinos. I couldn't figure out a good way to add the other combi-options, so I figured I'd have a dude pop out the top instead.

Begun working on my ork nobs, tried having them in different tones of green but I must say the olive ish colour of the power klaw ork being my favourite. I think I'm done with their skin and will move on the gums/teeth and all the rest. Anything I can improve on their skin or other changes?

>>54816796
Good stuff. I didn't know it was a loyalist Rhino until I read your description. I like the marine popping out with the combi-weapon, too. That's a cool touch.

>>54817200
I agree--the olive skin is excellent. It looks more grim, cruel, and brutal than the normal orky green. And that's awesome.

>>54817325
HAH! I remember you pointing out their tiny heads a few /wip/ threads ago.
The valiant guardsmen of the Segontium Line Infantry regiments are decidedly NOT abhumans! They are loyal and dutiful imperial subjects ever since the Imperial Fists liberated them from degenerate Men of Iron during the Great Crusade. And they seek to serve the Emperor to the fullest by requesting that all tithed regiments be deployed in crusades to honor the debt they owe the Imperium for freeing them from their suffering.

>>54816709
Roose Bolton did nothing wrong

Anyone know of a good source for female torso and leg bits? Preferably GW or passable as GW. Was thinking Witch Aelves but they are pricey as shit.

>>54817447
Sisters of silence if you want them armored.

>>54817475
Maybe. They'll be Tzaangor/Kairic Acolyte-women so less armor would likely be best.

>>54816591
>Those teeth

Seriously though that's top notch for a first model. You've overdone the highlights but that's pretty much all that's wrong with it. Well done!

Bump because new thread; painting Raptors-y and got a few questions:
1. Which colour would you recommendations for the eyes?
2. Would you paint joints etc green or black?
3. Would you paint some parts of the metal, say backpack vents a metallic colour or stick with all metal being green?

>>54817811
>recommendations
Shit

Also, how would you base the model? Rocky? Muddy? Jungle-y?

>>54817835

Was that the blacksmith shop that got deleted? I didn't post it but why'd it get deleted? Blatant shilling?

>>54816115
>>54816147
the problem with that is that you're making taking out a project into a project onto itself, I just keep everything in a huge dump on my desk (with things to far down the backlog to be done immideatly put away in bags, that way I can just pick up a brush and whatever and get some work done.

>>54817828
I have no recommendations or pointers for painting, but please for the love of whatever you believe in, put some effort into basing.
I don't understand how people are happy with their *insert technical paint here* slathered bases, mud/mars/w.e.

Few simple sticks/grass tufts/leaves/puddles will do wonders for the look.
Also note color-schemes apply to bases too, e.g. dark miniature on a dark base will not show much on tabletop.

Yeah as do the ridiculously high divorce rates between white female black male relationships as well as the high amount of mulatto children being cared by single mothers and in orphanages right?

>>54817946
Exactly, and they ~love it~

>>54817939
I thought that was part of the paint job and now I'm disappointed. It was kind of like it was painted to try and capture the look of a night time scene with the blue tones and some very slight illumination around the windows and doors.

>>54817875
Cool, thanks anon

>>54817902
Yeah

>>54817912
Yeah, I'll definitely get something going there, just gotta decide what kind of a biome I should have them in
So would you recommend a brighter base then? Bright-green/brown forest would obviously work camo-wise but it might be too much green.
Would paint tundra-ish but I've heard white is a pain to paint with

>>54817922
>>54817939
Oh alright, imo it looks great tho
Looking forward to seeing it with the wooden beams painted

>>54817922
Looks really really good.

From the top of my head: its fully casted in resin right? How expensive was it?

This kit came in 4 pieces. The interior is also equally detailed. The casting is amazing, I only ever found 3 air bubbles. Considering how details and how fine some of that detail is impressed me. I did not have to clean up the model nor any mold lines. I only had to give a quick clean to wash off the releasing agent.

http://www.tabletop-world.com

The company is Croatian and this model cost around £45. I will definitely be buying from them again.

>>54818001
Tundra doesn't need any white painted, just rocks/grasses with snow scattered about.
You can paint rocks blue-ish and grasses yellow/orange hues to compliment the marines.

White also isn't as bad as people make it, just start with a grey/brown/white primer and work with 2-3 coats.

>>54816591
It's better than my first model. Also agree that the highlights are a bit much, looks good on the bayonet though.

So I just got a bunch of the old snap fit marines they used for painting lessons from my local redshirt, and I wanna take the opportunity to practice and step up my painting game. Thing is, I actually don't know enough about painting to know what to practice. Basically at this point actually I really understand is base coat and then wash. What techniques are there that I should try, and where can I learnt them? Please help this brand spanking new retard /wip/ I just wanna improve.

>>54815192
love the image, can I save it?

>>54818468
Try to learn how to edge highlight or drybrush highlight.

>>54816757

>>54817301
I'm a fan of the gilt trim on his coat. Never seen anything like that before

Thanks anon, I'll try this then

>>54818468
I'd say prio is to learn how to thin, recess shade and edge highlight well, the rest comes as its needed.
Just practice on your models, compare them with others and see what you could improve then paint over. They'll end upp getting thicc after layers of paint but they're your practice models after all.

>>54818609
>Probably red for the eyes?
I'll try this. Seen Duncan do two different version, one where he painted red then made the 'lens' effect with White Scar and another where he painted the eye white and filled it with some red shade.. Which would you recommend? If it matters, I'm still pretty shaky.

>Joints definitely black
Will do

> and metal all metal
What? All my metal is currently green but if you see pic, Duncan painted some parts like 'unpainted metal', should I do the same?

>>54818738
Look at Duncan videos and just practice on your models. You'll get better by simply repeating the process and trying new things

>>54818766
Not sure what but something feels off, are they thicc?
Other than that, looking good
What's the deal with the weird bases?

>>54818826
I think it's because I didn't clean them properly, most are resin
also one of my white paints has been a bit gritty since i bought it
should I change it or are them all like that? do paint pots get bad batches?
Also the bases are just not done yet

thanks!

>>54818826

If I got one of them built and painted, tried a few new things, and then posted it here today, any chance I could get some specific feedback and pointers?

>>54818861
Try shaking your paint for shit-long and hope it solves it. Other than that, no idea.. I'm not that good myself, just trying to help out
Oh and I meant that some bases look different, obviously not finished yet but they've got a different shape

>>54818899
Yeah of course; just get a good picture and you'll have at least me responding.
No need to hurry it along, take the time it needs and come back once you've finished a step or two.

When you resize it, size it according to image size in CM/inch instead of pixels/%.

And then just set the image size to roughly the size of the miniature. Helped for me

>>54819208
Seems you missed some of the mold line on that shoulder
Other than that, looks good, could use some more highlight imo, needs some contrast to pop

well, it was relatively quick job!
I started with giving them two coats of genestealer purple as base colour. Then i layered:
genestealer purple -> screamer pink -> pink horror -> pink horror/ghost grey -> gost grey on light part
genestealer purple -> GP/Naggaroth night 1:1 -> naggaroth night -> black on dark part

I was painting each colour on every blade so it was quite easy to paint them all. Doing one blade at time was pain in ass and took ages.

Different snow scatters and diy's leave a different finish, you'll have to test and see what you like best.
I've liked baking soda/PVA/water, also seen some good ones out of crushed glass.

The purple just looks out of place, I like the tone of cloak-clasps with more red hue. But the deep purples just take away the focus from other details.

Second dove from top right has weird blue patches at the base of its wings that would look better covered or softened.

The FB post reads like a joke to me. I doubt anybody would seriously do that.

Though the laundry list of complaints in that lawsuit kind of make him seem a little eccentric.
I mean there are certainly valid complaints there, like GW forcing minimum stock of games they can't sell on small stores or arbitrary stuff like the prohibition of using GW's official product pictures for online retailers and stuff like that.

I've heard some pretty valid complaints over the years from store owners, but yeah from a cursory glance I doubt this will go anywhere.

Get you some dedicated paint mugs.

Something big and clunky and totally different from what you drink from.

I use ceramic tea cups I used to buy at the asian market down the street.

Out of Death Guard, Emperor's Children, Tyranids, and AdMech, what are the most enjoyable to paint and mod?
I started with a Fire Warrior squad, but they just have no real personality and got dry and dull to me quickly. Not to mention I hate how bad the Tau look with a gritty design, making it so they need to look like perfect soldiers off a manufacturing line. So I've decided to pick up an army that is customizable, has personality, and is fun to paint.
Thanks for the help.

>>54824040
Put water in a jar or something? Doesn't SOLVE the problem entirely since I still occasionally accidentally wash my brush with tea, but it stops you unconsciously grabbing the handle of the paint water and drinking without looking.

Lapis Lazuli. Lapis is the base ingredient in ultramarine pigment, though it's manufactured on a positively staggering industrial scale at cut-rate prices.

So new potential DEldar player, as someone who has painted one model in his life when he was like thirteen how fucked am I choosing this army?

As a more real question, I plan to field some Archons and I'm planning out some army fluff. Namely the two Archons for 'my dudes' are a pair of fraternal twins, one male and one female. For the male I want to change his head to an Incubus helmet and 'break' one of his horns to give him some individuality. For the female I'm wondering if there are any heads that are noticeably feminine that will fit into the rest of the Archon that anyone can recommend?

Also, will I get flak for this kind of stuff in a GW store if I'm using GW bits?

Bottles, people. Get a reusable bottle, a metal cup, or something taller and clearly different from your paint cup. Hell, I use a plastic 32 oz cup from a fastfood joint with a plastic lid and straw to drink from. No brushes go in there.

Could go Iron Hands style. Bright white.

>>54826572
I mean Khorne's got scorpions so they've got a bit of the arachnid theme with 8 legs and all but spider ladies definitely would fit right in with Slaanesh, although the serpent theme seems to be more prevalent in "official" models... Reaper should have some half spider half woman models if you wanted any sort of smaller daemon count as too.

>>54826634
Hmmm, that would stand out nicely, but do you think it might be too much white considering most of the details are white? This is a test model so I could just give it a shot and see how it works.

There's also a few privateer press cephalyx guys with a cool robotic/spider/latex theme that might fit, they're not daemonic but they're still cool models and you could swap heads or arms if you wanted to throw some daemon in there or out of the bottom of the robes.

Happy so far, still need to work on getting paint consistency right. At the moment it sometimes feels like it's easy to get thin highlights and others the paint sticks to the brush too much.

Other than that, I wanna learn how to glaze for smooth gradients also. At the moment good edge highlights are basically my workhorse, would be good to get a wider to toolbox.

I'm sorry for the poor image quality, I've done the best I can to try and get decent lighting at least with what I have. Hopefully at least one of the two sets is good enough.

Tried "drybrushing?" on the one on the left and just painting on the one on the right. Think the drybrushed one looks even more shit personally, but i heard someone at my shop talking about how great it was and his minis looked pretty decent to me so i gave it a shot.

Thanks in advance for anyone who can give me advice, every little bit helps.

As a Night Lords player, you only get better with time, anon. Pic related. The left was my first attempt at lightning, and the right is how it looks now. Find a technique that works for you. I basically use the Duncan method. Using my second thinnest brush, I make some connecting strokes with Glacier Blue (it's a Reaper paint, which is similar to Hoeth I think from GW), then with my thinnest brush, I go over connecting parts with white scar. Obviously, the last part is the hardest, especially since I often have trouble with the very tip drying. Just be quick. If you fuck up, just clean it up with you base color, which is Kantor for me.

Here's Duncan on Night Lords:

So I've got some Krylon flat black primer and Leadbelcher spray

I assume for proper priming, I have to spray the primer first and then lead belcher? I tested doing just Leadbelcher, and then one with Primer, THEN leadbelcher and the one with just Leadbelcher was far thinner and less prone to chipping. I might have fucked up though so can I get some advice?

>>54829464
>just a non-primer is less prone to chipping than an actual primer plus the same fucking spray from the first time on top

The problem is you. Especially if it's thick from just two coats.

>>54825636
I'd fill in some of the detail on that scythe unless you want it to clearly look like a scavenged necron weapon. Love the paint job btw.

>>54829522
Okay so what do I do then? When I spray the black primer do I cover completely or leave it speckled? Also do I wait an hour before adding the leadbelcher? And might I have been too close with the leadbelcher?

>>54829299
thanks, now if only I could get the skulls down

>>54829618

Speckled is better. If you can get complete coverage without putting it on thick you can go for it but it sounds like you're still pressing the trigger too heavy. Practice short puffs or quick passes. The primer is expendable, the miniature is not. Don't worry about "wasting" primer or getting "perfect" coverage. As long as there are no huge swathes of bare plastic you're fine.

>>54829672
Alright cool, and what about the leadbelcher? How do I go about spraying that on over the speckled primer without it being too thick, and also without it being grainy because the speckled underneath.

>>54829464
>>54829687

What the other guy said. If it's thicc, you're doing something wrong. I just used Krylon to spray over an old rhino and it was thin enough that I could still see the shitty brush strokes over the previous owner. Things to note when using non-GW sprays:
A) Shake the shit out of it. I'm sure you did shake it a lot, but when you think you're done shaking it, shake it some more and shake in between sprays, too. GW sprays are super thin, so they're more forgiving, but regular sprays are not.
B)Tap and sweep. Don't hold the button down nor stay in one place for long. What I do is make passes like I'm swinging a sword or something. Press and slash kind of a deal.

>>54829627

Again, anything free hand is just a matter of practice. The general tip is to make an outline and fill it in. My advice for night lord skull masks is don't go all the way down the helmet. Kind of keep it centered. I did full face on my test models and it just doesn't cut it. You can see the one all the way to the right of my last pic.

Here's how a Stormcast Eternal stacks up against both a modern terminator from Dark Vengeance and a metal First Edition terminator (Stormcast are slightly larger), plus a couple of smaller models.

The blood in the cauldron needs a bit more work. Like a bit of gloss varnish or a wash or something. It's too flat right now. Everything else is pretty solid.

I'm just getting back into the hobby, so I can't tell you exactly, but Vallejo will have a red ink that could work, or any red wash, or even a black if you were careful in how you applied it.

>>54823647
I love it anon, but the shotgun needs contrast. Add some dark gun metal, or maybe some cadian green? Or hell, it's a riot shotgun, make it red?

Yep, Svetlana the Frost Giant from Bones. I will start painting GW models soon, just wanted to get started with cheaper stuff first. It was painful buying GW models after spending $3-10 apiece for Bones models. This is the brass bull, another Bones model. I went a little too heavy with the blue wash.

Looking good anon, maybe try factory working on the basic parts to save time?
If you're having fun you're having fun but three days/model might get straining

>>54828073
I'd personally only use drybrushing for specific areas etc, never to shade/highlight an entire model
Other than that, looks good for your first model. Could get the shade thinner (ie apply smaller quantity so it's an actual shade, not pure black).
Also, there's nothing stopping you from painting over your test marines and practice more before you proceed to fuck up your actual models

>>54830175
Looking good anon

Looking good tho I'd like to see the altar either in a darker hue or with more shade

Thin stripe of green-stuff around the hood-trim, let it cure 30-80mins.
Your choice of sculpting tool and start pressing some wavy lines away from hood.

Keep your fat fingers/tools wet/lubricated throughout.
Also less is better than too much, you can always add more after first layers have cured.

Trying to come up with a color scheme for my DEldar army mentioned >>54825449

And I'm noticing just about everything that doesn't have a black or very dark base for them looks like dogshit, but I want to try not to look like every other DEldar army out there.

I think I decided I want to go with a black with white fade effect kind of like pic related, but much more shittily done because of my big meaty claws.

In theory how would one go for an effect like that?

>>54833718
airbrush

>>54818766
.....Zulu's attak

>>54833628
Yeah it's fine consuming but still better than batch painting, which I tried on a tac marine squad. Doing one model at q time is much easier for motivation, as you quickly can see progress. Painting 20 arms in one day is depressing

I'm gonna keep going at this pace and hopefully my skills improving will make it faster naturally, if I deliberately try to go faster I'll just rush them and they'll look shit. If rather play a few games unpainted and paint them to my best standard than hate my army forever

>>54830470
I'm using these as bases for my "not thunder warriors".

>>54831985
I don't play loyalists, so no, but I'd imagine its similar to MKIV helmets.

>>54833718
wet blending+glazes would be the way, but no way you casn pull it off with such a big model from white to black. I usually try and defend brush saying the airbrush can be emulated, but not here i am afraid.

On the smaller bases I know some of you anons have pointed out that you're not to keen on the looks of the "warning stripes" thingy, but I personally like it enough, even thinks it looks better on a large base like this.

Anyways, hope you like it so far, Im of back to work!

My first attempt at a Plague Marine - what do you think?

>>54835195

Looks ok. But my personal opinion is that the model needs more contrast. If you highlight the green for instance, and THEN ad your edge highlight, you will get a bigger bang for the work you put in. The model will "pop" more, and be more of an eye candy.

>>54835242
It does look a bit monotone

Apart from some bits on the backpack, the model doesn't really have any edges that end in green and I'm not that great at choosing where my highlights should go/don't want conspicuously different splodges of a different green all over

Hey lads,
I'm going to paint my Tau start collecting box before I order more models (except a Cadre Fireblade which I am ordering with the paints).
I have sizes 00,0,1,2, and 3 W&N brushes in the mail from the UK too.
I am thinking of painting the Tau in the T'au sept ochre armour. The recommended paints for this is about 27 paints/washes. Is this a good idea? Seems like a lot.

>>54835522
That's what (((GW))) recommend, but you only need about 8 paints plus 2 washes (black and earthshade are fine). If you make a wet pallette it's very easy to mix your basecoat with a bit of white/light grey to get your highlight colour and do the reverse with black/dark grey
