Only issue with that is you get a cures strip down the middle which is a waste and kind of a pain. I tend to prefer pic related, myself.

>>54937509
I said it before you painted it and i'll say it again; I don't like the missiles on the arms.
I thought maybe you'd be turning them into a pipe organ on his back or something..
That aside the paintjob is really nice, the freehanding on the tabbards is great

free range green stuff has much finer texture

>>54937423
Looks like the same stuff I use from different people. Works fine for normal gapfilling and fixing, or making into pipes with that roll-maker. Haven't done any proper sculpting with it yet, though, still new to conversions and such.

Personally I haven't ran into the cured area in the middle, but it seems I was lucky.

>>54937546
Thanks. I thought about it. I really liked the "mini emperor titan" look this weapon setup has going. That being said I plan to use the Exorcist rocket pipe organ on another dread in the future.

Finished my first ever mini. In the future going to get a dip for the wash. I hated using my brush and felt like I was just covering shit in black and had to go back with an empty wet brush to grab excess.

Father of Brood coming through.

Experimenting with feathering not too shabby so far (imo)

>>54938158
try loading less liquid on your brush. Rub or roll the brush on your pallet or a paper towel. I would say dipping is worse for doing that sort of cleanup unless you don't care.

>>54938376
I'm having a lot of trouble in general with how much I should be wiping off my brush and how wet it should be before loading in general, for every stage. My paint thinness feels right but not my brush technique.

>>54938164
I like it, but what do you mean by 'feathering'?

>>54938422
Well that comes after your first mini. Less is usually the direction to err toward.

Think coats. Wash, highlight.

Watch Duncan.

>>54939083
1. Clean your parts. No sprue nubs, no moldlines. Fill your gaps with green stuff where the glue doesn't do it's job.
2. Prime the model. Gray or the dominant color.
3. TWO THIN COATS
4. WASH AND HIGHLIGHT
5. STOP SHITPOSTING

Clean the flash off next time. All minis, reaper in particular, have flash and mold lines on them when you get them. If you don't clean them off before painting it looks like ass afterwards.

Finally working again on this miniature. The ides was to test a variant of the style where I paint black outline not only on the creviced, but aldo the edges that I usually highlight.

I think the result is nice, but it is really stressing, since the black outline must be really clean and regular. Probably works better in larger miniatures with lots of sharp edges.

Also, I recently taught a small child how to paint, and I was paying attention to what keeps people from painting with really small strokes (the key for small, clean detail). I notised some people paint the strokes by moving the entire hand around the wrist or even the entire arm around the shoulder. This does not allow really small, delicate movements and strokes. It is better to grab the brush so that you can move it by retracting the fingers that hold the tip (thumb and index finger mainly) so that they pull the brush inwards. This enables really small movements, and an easy repetition of them. This leads to small strokes and clean, precise paintjobs.

>>54939472
Yeah, I see that now. When it was unpainted, I didn't think they were a big deal or that noticeable but they became way more apparent with paint.

Is flash different from mold lines? I guess I don't know what that is. On my frostgrave minis I ordered I filed off all the traces from the sprue.

>>54939707
Flash = really big mold lines. I was being retarded acting like they were different.

Paint makes mold lines stick out like crazy. I always miss some before I prime. You can just remove them after priming though, and use some brush on primer on the bare areas.

I put a bunch of minis in a jar with full strength purple power. The reaper bones came out fine but the 1 plastic deathwatch marine I put in is kinda rough looking. Anyone have experience with purple power?? I was under the impression it was safe for plastics

>>54939957
If its rough looking, it probably still has paint on it.

Still waiting for them to finish curing. Unfortunately I have learned it is absolutely necessary to tack the mini's down. The two that weren't because they stood just fine floated up, so at least two of the moulds are probably no good.

>>54940420
I'd hazard a guess and say that there is, indeed, still paint on it.

>>54940420
the layers of paint are coming off, scrub it with a toothbrush and it should clean up pretty easily.

Doing that white Exalted Sorcerer I said I would do. I ended up not really liking the white and black so I changed it to white and blue. Still, I feel like this color scheme is one of those ones that looks like absolute dogshit up until the last brush stroke. Hopefully it looks better after some more work on it.

>>54943364
I'd say it looks better than my black and white even now. And yes, until you finish on white it looks like a bit of a mess.

Need to shade your white.

Otherwise goodjob

>>54944583
White and the helmet in general looks off,
Try using an off-white like Ulthuan/celestra Grey then do a thinned shade of nuln then reapply Ulthuan/celestra in non-reccesses then highlight with True-white. For the Visor try applying ardcoat to make it shine and reflect.

Bronze could use some highlights and paint the Spiritstones on his chest

>>54940549

RON!

>>54944771
>>54944770

I don't have any greys (just black and white). I should be able to mix something up.

How would you highlight the bronze? It's Gehenna gold (which I thought was the replacement for SHINING gold). Should I mix some runefang steel with it?

So I did end up lobbing off the old Necron scythe for a different one and started painting the actual sickle

Lemme know what u guys think

Also literally at a hotel for a convention painting while waiting for the gf to be done with makeup

>>54945158
Blade looks kind of flimsy, also there isn't a whole lot of contrast in colors on the armor overall so looks kind of flat and uniform in most places, not terribly visually interesting.
also the blade of a scythe isn't called a sickle that's a different farm tool

Anyone got advice on how to paint reptile skin? I ordered some stuff feom Mierce Miniatures and picked up one of their crocodile warriors cos it looked cool (and ive been trying to find a Smart Max Canopic Beast model for ages and settled on this instead)

Another question would be how far could i push the colour? Idk if i wanna do greens on this, i was thinking maybe reds or yellows, more warm colours. Thoughts?

Image is what i got

>>54946245
The metallic blue looks great but the eye glow is really too much. I'd say repaint and try a much gradual look. A green glaze would do wonders here

>>54947612
Start with a really dark green, then drybrush a slightly brighter green over the whole thing. Apply a green wash, then re-apply the drybrushing once it dries. Go in with a third, even lighter green and drybrush from the direction of the raised parts of the scales (usually from the tail towards the head). Once this is done, drybrush a beige-green for the underbelly and areas inside the arms and legs. Put a brown wash over the whole thing to make it look muddy.

>>54938158
Try drybrushing a lighter bone color like Citadel Ushabti Bone on it, other than that you got all the paints in the lines so congrats you got the basics down.

Dear /WIP/
How am I doing on my first paint job?
I'm having a ton of fun

>>54948624
If you used acrylic paints, rubbing alcohol should do the trick. Leave it in a small container for 15 minutes, then gently brush off the paint with an old soft bristle toothbrush

>>54948624
I'd use simple green, think you'd be OK with that.

>>54948732

I take it that's a Slaaneshi Chaos Marine?

I think I need to thin the wash some more.
I also tried mixing paint for gold highlights. It's not a strong effect but I think it worked. I just wasn't quite sure where to put them.

I'd say look for some good reference pictures.
Find something with colors or a pattern that looks good to you and then tweak to taste if necessary.

But always use a reference for stuff like this, it always improves the end result.

>>54946245

Wash the gold, you want to create some depth to it.
And as others has stated, that glow is to much.
When doing glow, thin down the paint so that it makes a wash look to thick. Apply several thin layers and work your way inwards. And always think that the point of the glow should be the brightest, so never use the same color to make the glow effect as you use for final highlights on the source.

Other than that, I think you are on the right track with your marines, great job and keep us posted!

>>54945127

Playing horde armies is like that, but on the flipside, your work is beautiful! Keep it up.

Guess to make it to the top in a unit like the Deathwatch you should probably have to be a team player.
You can still add BT specific stuff that doesn't mess with the DW uniform though. A lantern and a few chains around his waist for their symbolic meanings or something along those lines maybe.
The helmet already has a nice knightly theme to it though.

>>54950524
Yeah that's what's giving me trouble. I kinda feel like you'd almost have to give up your chapter identity and live and die by the Deathwatch to become the master of a Watch Fortress, but Deathwatch was my second choice after BTs for my new army so I really wanted my warlord to be a Templar. I've tried to slip some visual cues in like the helmet and I carved up his spear to look a bit more like a voulge/guisarme but I'm struggling to think of ways to really make him stand out as a PROUD SON OF SIGISMUND AND THE HOLY FATHER DORN without sacrificing some of the DW stuff.

I was thinking of rigging up a chain around his arm connected to the spear but is that too much?

>>54948732
Paint is a bit thick.
>but how do I thin my paint
Get a palette (a plastic lid will do fine), wipe excess paint off the brush and add a little bit of water (dip the tip of your brush in your paint water and then mix it with what's on the palette). It will take a little bit of practice to get the consistency right.

You've also gone straight to what I assume is your brightest colour. It's better to start dark and work your way up so you have something to highlight with.

It doesn't have to be a dark colour, just darker than what you've got now, if that makes sense.

>>54950621
I kinda like him as is. As someone said, a chain around the waist would be the most I'd add; otherwise it looks really good

Don't fuck up the paintjob or Dorn will cry

>>54950621
>I was thinking of rigging up a chain around his arm connected to the spear but is that too much?
I don't think so. It's a part of their warrior tradition and also to some degree represents their understanding of duty. I feel like this would be in the realm of a custom pistolgrip or something like that. It's a bit extravagancy and individualism, but it doesn't mess with the uniform on the whole.

Doesn't maybe you can add one of the small shouldershields with the templar cross to him if you want him to look more a bit more 'patriotic'.

eyes aren't done yet, i removed a fiar bit of the green on the top visor and plan to use some form of llight paint thinner/stripper to smudge off what's left, the spray i used was enamel (im fairly certain) from tamiya, so it's harder to paint over - accidentally got too thicc with my green.

>>54947139
are you suing tamiya brush on? what's that like?
I also love the metallic look, it also saves me so much time, since I was spending like a week per model sometimes longer on my other ultramarines.
>>54949816
I'm pretty much using this guide
>>54949950
but I just spray tamiya light metallic blue straight onto the models on/off sprue, use gloss nuln oil in all the recesses and paint black any non armour parts and just paint from there. the weathering/chipped paint was just stormhost silver painted on.

>>54957256
preferably not, if you have a primer you can paint on by hand, cover those bits.
The primer lets your paint adhere to the surface properly, naked plastic would form a weak spot in your paintjob.

I think you're being too literal with you shapes

Camo is more arbitrary(?). Roughen would be the tool in graphic arts (add points and randomly stretch points)

The trick is either to wing the whole thing or to find some camo and copy one or more of the shapes exactly. Camo also has 3 colors and the appearance of layers- generally.

But yeah your shapes are just too uniform.

>>54957684
It could be poorly done tiger stripes, but it looks like they were going for caution stripes and never painted in the black

What order do you guys paint things in? Do you base coat everything first then shade everything then highlight etc. Or do you do it Duncan style and bring a section to completion then move on to the next?

What's better?

>>54958174

>>54959471
EXTRA HIGH DETAIL

>>54959054
Depends on what you wat to do. Looks like it is prepainted, so if you want to use that as starting point you should proabably start with a matte varnish, so the paint has something to grip onto and then add panel lines and start weathering.
If you plan on completely repainting it you are gonna need primer, paints and whatever you want to use for weathering.

Depending on what version of the falcon you are doing it could look like a pile of junk or a colossal pile of junk, so you'll probably also want load up on washes and maybe pigments.

Id recommend checking out the weathering magazine (one of the megas in the 40k general should have them). They've got a series of really interesting articles for painting and weathering metals, desert environments, engine grime etc.

Are the canopy parts glued in or can you take those out? Painting the model without the clear parts is probably gonna be easier regardless of how you want to approach this.

That color scheme for their armor is great. For their base you might wanna do a lighter color to contrast their dark armor. I'd do snow but I love arctic scenery in general so I'd put snow bases on anything. Maybe try a white cliffs of Dover kinda thing? It'd fit the refined nature of elves.

>>54960890
Thanks for the input! I was thinking of trying something with grass tufts, so maybe a lighter shale type rock broken up with some grass.

Just about done modeling a first set of four praetorian guard heads. About to print them now to see if I need to make any adjustments.

Haven't found a lot of source material on them, but I was planning to mostly use standard cadian bodies and gear. Anybody got any good references or ideas about other pieces I should customize?

Testing out a color scheme for my Deathwing Terminators, still have to clean up the armor and highlight but what do you guys think about the color scheme? I'm kind of on the fence right now but it's growing on me.

That one on the far right is fucking swole. Also, I'm really digging the fur on the pauldrons.

Thanks bby.
>>54961159
I'm thinking of doing it like pic related. Or I might just do the whole thing in parchment colour or white and paint some similar freehand shit on it.

>>54961248
Thanks, it was easier to sculpt than I expected, but still a little tedious. He's the warband's Chaos Lord, and his name is Krodgar.

>>54961228
I'd paint the head (or atleast part of it, like the little bumb that runs ontop of the helmet) black as well, to help tie in the scheme to the rest of the model. I use a similiar scheme with my purifiers.

Also, the dark color of your base makes it kinda hard to see the legs imho.

Otherwise, I love the idea,

>>54961269
Alright, thanks for the advice. I'm sure the legs will stand out a little more once I highlight them.

do not use GIMP for anything, every

GIMP has the most terrible fucked up paradigm and you will have to unlearn everything you learn in GIMP to use any other editing software.

seriously, just don't.

>>54961329

>>54961297
I think white might overdo it considering his laurel wreath is white specifically to make the helm stand out a little more. With a white loincloth it might then look to busy. I'll paint some paper squares and compare them with the model. I'm leaning towards cream cloth but with a red border now. Maybe a black border. Fuck.

Hello /wip/. Im currently painting my Space Marine HQ as the Secreta Secretorum's Mentor, and I stopped before painting the face.

Will taking the common Sean Connery face and paint it with Leadbelcher archive the look? Pic related.

>>54961407
I'd say you need a lighter silvery colour instead.

>>54961405
But I do actual work. Mock ups, illustration, and other design work. I will admit that I do much prefer photoshop

>>54961439
Gawd, dont' tell me you menu, menu, menu through all that shit.

Anyway I use ALSO use tempera paint but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone here, ya dig?

>>54961421
Gotcha. So the idea is fine, right? Just smear grey and make eyes whiter? I won't ruin it?

When you highlight, do you highlight like the Eavy Metal painters by highlighting every raised surface, or do you highlight with source lighting in mind?

Do you guys think Blood Raven tactical squads/bolter cannon fodder Marines look better with black or gold chest eagles? I may go with black eagles/ravens/winged skulls= mooks, gold winged skull= veteran tactical squads/commanders, but I want some level of coherence within a squad and the whole force.

>>54961811
I personally do a weird mix of those.
highlight all raised surfaces, but make the highlights stronger with source lighting in mind.

There are probably better places to ask this, but I've been wondering it.

I think the Tree Lord Ancient model looks really cool and want to get it for DnD (don't actually play AoS) but was wondering if it's bad for that price and/or if there are better alternatives.

>>54961943
If you just wanna buy it for DnD, you should probably check eBay first. You might find a good deal on it.

do yourself a solid and buy a FW Salamanders decal sheet. Painting that symbol is raw suffering and never looks good

All 3 of those polled chapters are pretty sweet. as the resident exorcistfag I'll say they're pretty cool, but I've never ever seen a red hunters army, so I voted for that

Read some of their fluff. Remember the Moirae Schism where the Iron Hands and successors exiled those following the creed? The Red Talons didn't exile anyone. Know why? They killed them all.

>>54958944
Sure. Basically for the chipping I approach it the same way as highlighting, though instead of getting a neat straight line on every edge, try to dot in the lines sparingly or add tiny brush strokes towards the edge, as opposed to directly on the edge. Then even more sparingly, apply small/tiny dots/lines towards the center of armour pieces. Tooka fair bit of practice with ym weathering (though, not on a metallic/enamal model like this one) it just takes a bit of practice to get it looking right, i guess. I'd even say some of the 'chipping' i painted onto the model I posted doesn't quite look right, but overall it seemed ot have worked quite well. Hope that explanation makes sense, honestly it took me about 3 or 4 attempts on other minis before I was satisfied with how I did it.

>>54961531
Paint is nice when you want a quick crop, or want to quickly edit a screencap.

heres a slight update (still wip, been working on other things)

main things are;
removed lots of green from around eyes, got a basecoat on the base and some more weathering.

also, first time using transfers, did they come out ok? (i intentionally scratched/chipped them)

its still a wip and test model though, need to do heaps to the models smaller details. basically all the not-blue parts arent done. needs shades/washes/highlights/blending etc. on just about everything. fuck lol.

>>54962394
Transfer looks great. Nice clean lines in general - I'm not crazy about the sparkly blue... He kind of looks like a motorcycle or something.

thanks think i need another really thin coat of varnish on the shoulder though looks a bit uneven.

also, understandable, i used to hate metallics. I only opted for this scheme as i wanted to try a "realistic" scheme and try and imitate how marines are depicted in the codex art.

here's a pic of my wip gorillaman featuring my non-metallic ultramarines paint scheme. (this takes 100x longer than the metallic armour)
