Painting a bastilodon as close to the box art as possible because I have no imagination.

How do I get the wavy-fire effect at the tips of the armor plates? Is it some kind of wash, or done freehand?

>>55247989
It's ok. Just a pinprick. Although it went deep it's all good

Brown, but the bases are pretty boring.

>>55248244

Thanks!

Based it with VMC green gray, washed with earth shade (a mistake in retrospect) started layering upto VGC dead flesh then washed with fleshshade and dry brushed highlights with pure dead flesh. Was honestly trying random things to experiment. I think when everything else is highlighted and the face/nails are painted in it will come together well.

>>55248290
Brown sounds good to me then and yeah I'm not really good with basing stuff. I just figured a normal swamp based one would work but what would be good to add to it?

Dad?

>>55248573
Considered painting tape?

>>55248769
Not him, but IMO tape will just have bleed over due to the uneven texture, and more trouble than its worth to make tiny pieces compared to just practicing the freehand until it comes easily.

>>55248573
Just keep it nice and thin to mark out your line and you'll get the hang of it. Also make sure to check those mold lines - the leg plates in particular are strong on primaris snap fits.

Also- looks like you sprayed a bit too close with your undercoat. I know it can be tricky to get the right range to avoid getting rough texture bullshit with white spray, don't be afraid to slowly build up the undercoat with a few thin bursts that you let dry rather than attempt to get it all at once.

>>55249047
I see. I had never tried but it's good to know about the bleedover

yeah, if you can't get a good flat seal around the area, like if there's a stud or a gap or what not, it's pretty hard to ensure the paint won't flow under the gap.

Made a list for mine. Right side is stuff I plan to acquire, left side are things that are either in progress or in line.

Mercifully, a good half of my in progress items are either mid completion or have some significant amount of work done.

I think I'll be able to get to most of these before years end, but we'll see.

>>55249519
Thought about it and saw how much prep was involved. I do love how nice using oil paints looks for weathering but right now i kinda have to stick to what I can

>>55249468
Weirdly, this model actually looked much better in high definition on my computer monitor than on my phone. I think what initially threw me was that some of the wash stains appear unlikely? maybe that there's too many of them or that they're in places where liquid wouldn't tend to naturally pool?

I think it would look a bit more like the grimey effect you're going for if some areas more near the top were a bit cleaner, like on the shoulders or the tops of the white armor. Probably impossible to clean now, but I might have concentrated the green goop on the bottom area of the vox vent to simulate it falling out via gravity and running down the chest, rather than hovering inside.

Not sure about the helm, but something looks off to me mostly around the eyes/ just under the top of the helmet lip.

Other than being excessively critical of you, I really like the creepy organic mess you made on the top and out of the side. Just the right about of tentacle, and the lord of contagion icon looks fantastic above the dread. Very nice.

>>55249728
Thanks man. I wanted the mouth and tongue to be bigger buuut i underestimated the size of the dread. It was late and I just smeared agrax on it, i have no clue how to shade for real and I just like to make things look dirty and the white needed to look old as fuck. Also the goop should dry, it was mixing a bit with the wash, ill take a better pick tomorrow afternoon to see how it all workes out. The head took the worst of the white crylon, caused a chip to form in a bad spot and detail to be fucking filled to hell.

The LoC trophy rack was my favorite part to paint. Id been doing 1 coat balthazar and 2 coats vallejo polished gold, but this took WAY too long and caused a lot of watery accents on smaller metal bits. Retributor gold which i used here works LIKE A DREAM and looks nearly identical to my old stuff

Are there any guides to scratch build/good alternatives for imperial knights? I own one right now and love it and would like a second, but the price is such a dealbreaker.

Be generous with the Typhus Corrosion, and shake it well, so you have all the grainy stuff actually in the paint. You should see some of the sand (or whatever is in it) build up a bit of a texture before drybrushing the Ryza Rust.

>>55249536
The only prep is putting a gloss coat down though.

>>55249912
Oh yeah for sure! I just wanted to make sure I got a good color going on for the ground. I'll most likely paint the base trim abaddon black or maybe a brown.
>>55249913
Thanks man! I think those eyes are just Evil Sunz Scarlet with a slight center highlight of Wild Riders Red. I usually go with layer paints for those just because I think they stick out more and they're already sorta thin so thinning em a bit more makes it right nice. Only one I ever have a problem with that is Yriel Yellow because fuckin yellow.

summertime on the gulf coast by swamplands. That should pretty much cover the climate.

I feel like im already thining my paints to much. I do about a 1:1 with distiled water but the catch is that I dont blend the the water in the paint. With the pallet having multiple dimples instead a large flat surface the water is all but put directly on the paint.

It's just kind of entered my head after watching Duncan a bit, that for highlighting/layering you maybe want to use a different shade of paint, rather than simply adding white/cream/yellow to the original colour.

I've got a few models like this, basically a solid coat of Wazdakka Red and wash with Agrax. Would Evil Sunz Scarlet be alright for highlighting?

>>55248400

Nice. How is the resin to work with on those?

>>55253298
Yes, you can, and sometimes want to use a paint that is in itself a brighter shade to highlight instead of mixing in white or whatever. Purple for example is a very different beast highlighted with magenta compared to mixing in white. Red is also quite sensitive, as it can somewhat easily end up pink or orange, things we think of as different colours, insetad of simply a brighter red.

I'm looking to replace the intelligent midget thing on the back of my Stormfiends with a chunk of Warpstone. I've got some actual stones of roughly the right shape and size to fit in his place, but I'm wondering what the best way of attaching it to the frame would be.

I've done a quick bit of searching and the general thing seems to be to just superglue it on, but none of the info I found used the same kind of plastic as GW miniatures. Would it still work, or is something else needed and/or a better way of doing it?

Not the previous poster but sharing my thoughts as I'm using enamels for weathering my death guard at the moment.

You don't need to put a layer of varnish down before oil or enamel washing over acrylic, the spirit doesn't lift the acrylic. It just depends on the surface finish of the acrylic paint and the effect you want. I wash on to a matte finish, which holds the enamel paint and darkens the model, making it look dirty. If you use a gloss coat then the wash runs into the recesses very cleanly and creates shading rather than weathering.

Obviously you probably want to do a coat of varnish afterwards but personally I do that anyway.

>>55254916
You just glue it on.

Did you ever do crafts as a child? Literally get supeglue and put some on then attach.

>>55255326

How do you do those rust effect so well? that cant be just wash.

>>55255404
from the way it looks, i would guess typhus corrosion and light drybush of Ryza rust

>>55251243
Hahaha yes, so I split two of the starter boxes with a friend and very quickly realized Marines, even Chaos marines are boring. But I had bought all the paints for them.

>>55251232

Do you mean in general? And what sort of color wash do you suggest? I did a green wash on the carapace and a thinned down brown on the exo skeleton.

I do feel like the carapace needs it but I don't know what color, maybe the brown also?

>>55255404
Don't have a great picture to show it, but no it's not just a wash. Basically I sponge and brush on dark brown rust into the painted armour. Then I highlight with a lighter brown and highlight the armour around the rust, especially under it to give it depth like bumpmapping. Thats the stage the pic is at, but it doesn't show it too clearly. After that it's wash the whole thing dark and scrub off the excess, then after that it's more precise streaking with the dark wash and rust colour wash, focussing the rust streaks around where the rust was originally painted.

>>55255404
Oh you mean the bare rusted metal? Lol it's piss. Just Vallejo burnt umber, then splotch on red leather, clear orange and orange brown. Highlight with any metal colour. Then wash with mig dark wash. Basic af.

I'm gonna work on Sigismund - any ideas of interesting techniques I could try out or tips for display/competition tier painting?

I'm not amazing or anything, but I improved my overall skills significantly when I painted guilliman so I'm looking forward to replicating the experience.

I know this is a thread all about painting minis, but this counts, right?

I've decided to "bootleg" Battlefleet Gothic. I say bootleg because I've realized I'd cost me way more to buy these antique miniatures off of ebay so my solution to this is to just make the models out of paper.

No, we aren't talking dedicated pape mache Imperial Retribution Class Battleship, but just plain old 2D blank paper with a drawing of a Imperial Retribution Class Battleship. I'm shit at drawing, especially detailed space cathedrals.

Anyone got any tips for drawing the ships, astroids, debris and obstacles from a birds eye view? I'm thinking the ships will be something around 12 cm long and 5-8 cms wide, fighters will land around 3-4 cms long and 1-2 cms wide.

Anyone see any problems that might arise from this?

>>55258676
Out of paper? Unless you know some crazy Origami... this is going to look like shit.

>>55258858

Realized that too, so I'll just sketch them om a small piece of paper n use that instead of making the actual model by paper.

>>55258676
you could just go the recast route instead

>>55248198
Nice mini, do you have a link for it? Would make for a nice looking Chaos Troll.

>>55258907
Judging by what that Anon said, it's a Reaper Bones miniature.

>>55248198
is that rack from TT combat? Was thinking about getting it.

Hey to the anon who said to try oil washes, csn I get some help? I mixed burnt sienna with some thinner and it didnt do anything and now i cant wash my model for a while till this dries

>>55258595
I haven't ever done flesh really, so its a learning curve, what would you suggest? Agree 100% on the highlights, I've been trying to tidy since painting this

>>55259312
You used too much thinner. Here's some videos about using oils and enamels on minis. They're very similar but enamels dry faster.

non-acetone nail polish remover.

I left some grey knight halberds i thought were all metal in some, they came out soft and pliable and hardened back to normal after a few hours.

The metal grey knights themselves, i dropped into PURE Acetone, and learned in fact that one of the knights had plastics arms...hours later when the plastic in the jar had dissolved into a wad of liquid.

>>55259757
Too much sprue, I'd have recommended slicing the sprues in half lengthwise if you're gonna use 'em for that. Try taking some white glue and/or green stuff, whatever you have, and fill in especially around the joint bits, and I'd recommend to soften some of those sharp angles and fill in-between since they look like clipped sprue bits instead of iron bars right now.

If I can get some plasticard I think I can build up the joints. The wrist could use an extension so it doesn't look like a straight join. Perhaps some techie gubinz on the elbow and fore arm to thicken it up. I think the join with the wires flowing through it looks good though.

I've never been impressed by people's ability to glue some pre-made plastic bits together and gently paint them. am I missing something? do you make your own custom terrains and buildings and stuff at least?

>>55260725

>>55259735
Definitely a cool concept, and generally well executed, but the sprue arm is just too janky. Get some pieces of styrene tube and sheet and start playing with that, you'll get better results more easily.

Have you actually tried it yourself? Or are you one of those cunts who doesn't think graphic designers should be paid because "it doesn't seem that hard"

>>55260725
thats like saying watchmaking isn't impressive because its just people putting together pre-made metal bits. A lot of the painting in this thread is pretty lackluster, yes, but thats what happens when you're a beginner. You also have people who paint for years and years and become masters at this stuff, and it can take a lot of skill, training, and technique for this. It's also a hobby. So everythings relative, considering you have people who's hobby is just collecting model trains, or coins, or whatever. People just have different tastes. I wasn't into it until several years ago when I realized that its more or less a fun and relaxing activity.

Gloss, unless you want the wash deliberately tide up... sort of confused as to why you'd want to go back to acrylics after using oils though; you using them like a filter or something?

>>55263097
Because i fucked them up this time and honestly next time ill just start using mig enamels, their light rust wash looks great.

What do you mean tide up? I want the wash to stain the white and look really dirty like my prior models in this thread

>>55263261
Use a matte then. What you're doing is known as filtering (which works fine with oil paints too, if you happen to have some browns).

>>55263785
It's a beautiful job but it would really benefit from even some rudimentary base work. There's presculpted ones that GW and a number of 3rd party dudes make.

Building my Primaris.

Debating - do I fully assemble or build and paint in sub assemblies?

I'm not going for a golden demon obviously but I would like them to look as good as possible.

What parts should be assembled later and what parts are okay to glue on?

Backpack?
Arms with bolt rifle?
Head?

Duncan appears to assemble the entire model.

>>55266214
Duncan isn't allowed to go off script.

It's up to you how much you can be arsed to mount everything separately. Put it this way, there's no part that won't be easier to paint in terms of access but the advantage gained in the more obvious cases is quite minimal.

Best way to do chains in general? Looking to hang a skull from atop a standard

>>55266110
Most people build their own terrain on a tile, or get something to stick onto it.

>>55266214
I'd leave the weapon and backpack off, so you can reach everything easily. Maybe the head, if it's hard to reach once assembled.
I mean, nobody will see the whole chest once fully assembled, but the 'tism demands it.
And don't forget to cover any joints you want to glue, or scrape the paint off them, else the glue won't work.

You can soak them with thin super glue once they're in place

they will look better when they get some highlites. The red base is good, but the models are very very dark

Where can I see what color to paint imperial fists shoulder trim and what goes on the kneepads?

>>55266693
Thank you, I wanted them to be dark. That being said it will take some good highlights and I am scared to do it

>>55266736
You know what I would have done personally with that being the case?

Next time when you base the blue, give it a wash, and then drybrush the model in the highlite color, or really even the base color if you just do an all around wash.

Do that before you put down any red or other basecolors and your armor will have highlites

I have 2 dark imperium boxes. Apart from clipping grenades and dangly spiky bits or head swapping does anyone have suggestions to minorly convert my death guard so they aren't mirror images?

Soak it in metho for a while, then scrub away with a toothbrush.

Be warned, the metho will make the skinnier parts of the plastic weaker, and prone to snapping if you're not careful. This will go away after you sit it out of the metho for a while though, it's not permanent damage.

If you want to be extra lazy and time saving, an ultrasonic cleaner from eBay will accelerate the process massively.

Hey /wip/ with the new generals handbook out making mixed skaven armies not playable it's time I flesh out my clan skyre builds. I have all the units already with the exception of acolytes, jezzails and more weapons teams

My question is do you guys know of any good ways to convert the above units? I mainly need a cheap way to do acolytes as I need the most of them. gw bits are preferred

Pic unrelated but I'm proud of my stonehorn

The Carapace is kinda boring to look at, and it shouldn't be. Tyranids are cool because you can paint that carapace however you like. You could give it some highlights, spots, some kind of pattern, etc.
Also, next time, don't thin down your brown wash, just wash the whole model, then layer paint over the parts you want to brighten up again.

Also, /wip/, rate me wee lil' Genestealer

Somehow found the original sale picture after looking through my Paypal history for something else, since ebay only goes a couple of years.

This Wilko stuff is magic, but the more I use it I'm not sure plastics should be in it for more than a few hours.

Having migrated here, got some suggestions for a scheme for my AM army?
I was thinking some Carolean shit, but I don't know how to, and I kinda want some input asw

>>55268692

Desert schemes are always neat and easy to paint.
Just put down a tan base, then drybrush on some Bleached bone.

Getting back into 40k, working on Guard. Currently building a Chimera, do people normally paint tracks separately in 40k and then glue them on, or do they assemble and then paint? Also, do I pick an option for the main gun (since Multilaser and Heavy Flamer share the same mounting part), or do people generally keep the chimera main gun apart from the turret? If not, which weapon do people generally mount?

>>55268728
>do people normally paint tracks separately in 40k and then glue them on
You'll have a much easier time doing it that way

>>55268723
Noted, any other suggestions?

Just finished my Sanguinary Priest with jump pack, tried to go for an "Angel of Mercy" kind of vibe. Head is from the FW blood angel upgrade kit.

Seriously fuck painting white, no wonder I hardly see any White Scars players about.

I like everything except for the robes, the wide highlights and exaggerated shading makes it look a bit cartoony which doesn't quite gel with the tone of the rest of the mini.

>>55256095
You're only making it funnier by being this upset about it.

> 7/10, red skin could use some highlights, as well as touch up the eyes a little, but I like what you've done so far. Good for the tabletop!

>>55268858
Amazing face, man, good work!
Gold on wings highlighted too fat, i think. And why no blood on drill, only on chainsaw?

No blood on the drill actually makes sense, as a drill will just shake off most of the blood when it spins, a little bit in the core and alot of splatter around would make sense.

Heraldic markings look good.
Stripes especially.

>>55269112
The no helmet meme is truly the worst shit ever.
It makes absolutely no sense at all for a SM Commander to not wear his helmet as they get shitloads of tactical information from them lots of other advantages.
But muh plot armor I guess.

>>55269232
40k isnt realistic in the slightest btw

>>55269132

gotta stay hydrated somehow

>>55269254
Ofc it isent, but it contradicts the setting too, not just realism.

>>55269232
On top of that, I think helmets look better. Especially when faces are generally harder to paint in the first place

>>55267855
I like everything about it except for the yellow of the eye spilling out on his cheekbone. Is the lon tongue a conversion?

not really, 40k in general operates off the rule of cool. And it was cool, especially in the 80's, to see people like that. I prefer helmets myself, but I see why non-helmeted is a thing. Just like how imperial guard should always wear the facemasks but pretty much none of them do. Same with...well, every faction. It's dumb, but 'cool' especially for kids.

>>55269232
I'm better at painting skin than I am at power armour so I'm perfectly fine with guys not wearing helmets

>>55269353
Wait, your better at painting faces than power armor?
Thats really rare to hear, and kinda cool desu.
How did that even happen?

I've never gotten on well with edge highlighting and power armour is just a huge effort for me.
Only picture i've got onhand of my stuff but painting the face on the guy was far more enjoyable for me than the helmets.

>>55269443
That is a really good face.
Mind sharing the technique?

Mournfang brown, Cadian fleshtone, Kislev flesh and P3 Menoth white highlight.
Lots of layers.

Working on a Ral Partha cyborg dragon. Going to see if I can paint up the cyborg half like MechaGodzilla. Not sure on the flesh half though. Any ideas?

Ignore the watermark, doing it as part of a group build and including it for that reason.

Just gotta start getting basecoats down later today.

I'm so glad that skeletons are quick to paint, I've got so many to do.

>>55270095
They're all from Reaper, and most of them were sculpted by Bob Ridolfi, so if you put that in their search bar they'll come up.

Hey I need a ton of skeleton bits to make a giant skeleton monster made of skeletons, anyone know what would be a good buy for bits? Already have the GW skull box but could use limbs

>>55269254
>40k isnt realistic in the slightest btw
Until it goes full realism...

>In the Draigo vs. Morty short story. Morty instant kills Draigo's Grand Master because the twat didn't wear his helmet.

>>55270501
Wait, is Draigo dead?
Then who will provide the ham and send daemons to the super warp now?

>>55270753
no, Draigo's predecessor is dead, because he wasn't wearing his helmet and Morty killed him because of it. Draigo goes on to save the day I believe, being named Chapter Master later because of it.

>>55270443

Mantic skellies?

>>55268858
>>55268865
very stylish.

>>55271270
Mantics are 2 piece. Wargames factory are multipart skellies and cheap.

>>55264591
that isn't a commisar. thats a bloody mordian officer.

>>55266731
The Imperial Fists are Codex compliant so just copy the Ultramarines. Page 14 of the new Codex has all the info.

>>55269300
Yeah, noticed the yellow once I took the picture, didnt see it while painting.
The tongue is not a conversion, the model is one of the Space Hulk Genestealers that I use because I think they have cooler poses than the normal boxed ones.

Do you guys use 25mm or 32mm for standard infantry bases? Would it be a problem gamewise were I to go up to 32?
