Massive amount of respect for anyone who even attempts to paint lamenters. He's turned out great, the checkerboarding esepecially

>>55277897

I was gonna do that for the Farseer or a Corsair Exarch.

Well the claws are the best thing you can give a prince atm... maybe pauldrons... next round of primer i'll put them down to be primed too, just to see

only thing you guys are gunna hate is that I'm a terrible painter so I'mma use flat paint and then wood stain. It's either that or the paint job looks horrible

So I'm a D&D player and I want to get into painting minis, so I backed the Bones 3 Kickstarter. I kind of went nuts and I got all of the expansion sets too, and a couple of the stand alone figures like their sand worm. I just got them a month or so ago, and now that I'm looking into paints, I have absolutely no idea what to buy. I've got about $100 per month that I can dump into this hobby and I'm trying to figure out the best way to spend it. Should I wait another couple weeks and buy one of the sets that reaper offers of paints? Is there a different set that might be worth getting?

>>55277571
That's actually pretty rad.

>>55278528
Get a can of white and black paint+primer

Get some brushes

Testors has good paints, citadel/GW is pricey but good, Vallejo is also a great brand. If you're feeling creative just get your basic rainbow of colors and mix your own shades. Otherwise pick 3-6 colors for a model and go for it.

>>55279233
for your first models ever you're better off starting with smaller generic guys first. once you've got the basics down then move on to the larger stuff.

>>55279358
looking decent so far. The purple hood and the mask is nice. As far as stuff to improve; I think the highlight on his left sleeve is way too thick and the hand looks a bit messy at the moment.

>>55279355
That campaign must be pretty far in to afford a red dot sight for everyone in the squad. I'm surprised about the choice with shotguns though. It looks like you raided part of a GSC Neophyte box, but didn't take some of the better looking guns.

Also, Krak Launchers are baller.

>>55279355
twin linked lasguns

>>55279358
Purple hood looks nice. I would add darker purple in lower parts of a fabric. Consider using black paint in deepest concavities of metalic parts instead of overall wash for better contrast

Does green stuff cure by itself over time/heat, like some clays do? I want to buy a pack to mess about with but I don't want to pull it out after a couple of weeks and discover it's rock-hard / turned into sludge.

The freeze method doesn't actually remove super glue, it just weakens the bond; then I'm stuck with that whole mess of chipping the crap off. Is there any non-toxic substance that will completely strip super glue?

>>55279694
Nope, it won't harden until you mix the two compounds. I leave mine in the plastic wrapper and it's still good, even after months of leaving it laying around.

>>55279694
if you don't seperate it out eventually it will cure in the middle. for best results store the yellow and blue parts in seperate containers.

>>55279694
don't get that one, get the one with the green and blue in separate tubes. it only cures after being mixed together.

Anyone got any tips/guides for painting Silver Tower bases?

Working on this guy at the moment. I give up trying to paint eyes, it ruins the whole thing every time I try.

>>55279741
Dunno why it's sideways. Phone was upright when taking picture. Fucking shity old iPhone 3.

>>55278057
paint scheme looks great, osl usually needs an air brush in my experience.

>>55279695
Acetone. Super glue (cyanoacrylate) is based on acrylic. Unfortunately, acetone has the unpleasant side effect of also dissolving your plastic miniatures.

>>55279729
>>55279734
>>55279735
Honestly, I just picked the first picture of GS I could find, I was planning on getting the tube ones anyway. Good to know, though.

>>55279741

I spent 2 hours trying to paint eyes on him and it just looked bad, every single time. Am I supposed to use a pin to dot the whites? Or a brush with 3 bristles? Even when I use just the tip of the brush i I can never get the white to look spherical.

>>55278957
Yeah, the new models with the winter scheme.
>>55279064
Not this one, bruv. But thanks

>>55279443
I actually wanted to have something like that back in like, 4th ed.

I wanted something like an assault 2 lasgun that wasn't a shotgun.

>>55279785
I know about acetone, I said I'm specifically looking for non-toxic solutions.

>>55279759
Don't hold it upright. Hold it sideways to the left. 4chan does that for phoneposters for some reason

>>55280006
If it's metal, I use easy off oven cleaner. Not sure for nontoxic purposes though.

>>55279695
>Is there any non-toxic substance that will completely strip super glue?
>>55280006
>I said I'm specifically looking for non-toxic solutions.

Acetone is by far the safest and least toxic substance that will strip super glue.

you might be able to salvage that top (if you remove the gun from the mount) as a banner. Not a held one, but like a planted one. You'd have to sculpt a pretty large banner though.

Babby's first attempt at freehand. I don't like the look of transfers, so I've attempted a painted on tac squad symbol. How's it looking WiP? Anybody got any tips to make this less of a ball ache?

>>55283873
Just buy the shapeways ones and paint those up. Gonna look way better and will add texture

>>55280911
>>55280765
>>55280698

Looks good , I had the same idea of green goo sipping through the fleshy parts.

However the wash of the armor is pretty thicc and the rust on the metal looks more realistic if you then drybrush a bit on top to show wear and places where the rust has dissappeared

>>55283852
Thanks.As for loyalist; I do not, sadly.
All I can suggest is to peruse google, see if anyone else has found something that works.

>>55283873
This is pretty awesome actually. I can only do this with stencils.

>>55284031
Considered it, but it adds a few quid per squad, and I'm planning to freehand a custom chapter badge on the other side. I'd rather they matched in style, so I'll practice until I get gud.

>>55283129
Honestly I just take pics with different angles of light and then attempt to repaint the light effects

And it's been almost three years of painting

>>55283873
You could always apply the transfer and then paint over it, using it as a template.

>>55280668
Out of curiosity, how long did this take you to paint?

>>55281724
Exceptional.

>>55282949
You're obviously a very good painter. One thing I would say to think about is that when you highlight literally everything to near white and shade everything to near black it breaks up forms. This can be good in areas but when an entire miniature is like it it can be difficult to make the miniature out clearly. I think your painting style suffers from this a little and would be improved by having areas of different brightnesses and contrasts. Just something to think about.

Thanks. I think I'll try blue glaze before buying an airbrush just for this.

Build up very thin glazes over multiple layers, I'd say.

You could drybrush but it'd look iffy on those metallics.

Looks wonderfully weird. It's a properly chaotic look.

Help me out here WIP. Can you paint up an army without any unifying colour scheme without it looking like someone ate a load of paint and vomited on your miniatures? Thinking of getting back in after god only knows how long out, and returning to my beloved Dark Eldar now that they have (mostly) not shit models. Thinking of taking a very anarchist cyberpunky theme, which to be really anarchist would involve not really having a scheme. Is this madness or do you think it could be pulled off?

Anvil makes a really cool techmarine harness I recently ordered. Got their 5th aniversary model as well, gonna paint it up in copper and use it to practice applying Nihilakh Oxide

>>55285644
Perhaps you could paint them in small groups that are different colours, like your army is composed of several different crews from back in commoragh but have come together to catch prisoners.
Not sure about individual different colours though, I think that's ork territory.

>>55285644
Purely by definition you can't have something look cohesive without something tying them together. My suggestions:
>make sure you've got a good basing scheme that unifies them together
>maybe try to keep some consistency at least within a squad, so you might have "the blue squad" and "the red squad" or whatever
>consider having a neutral colour as your main colour and then picking a certain detail you can throw whatever other colours you feel like on
>combine the two above ideas together so for example you might have black as your main colour and then you might have your "red squad" and in the red squad you'd have a guy that's all black, but has red shoulder pads, then another guy just has a red helmet, then another guy has a red right boot/shin/kneepad etc.
That might help avoid the "bought random shit off ebay without repainting" look while still being sort of varied and not completely uniform.

Gonna fish out some of my old DE warriors from bak when they were the spikelords and try some things out. Thanks for the suggestions, I'll post a few up if I manage to get them done and not obviously looking like shit.

Just put Elysian Camo over my Death Guard, painted in Death World Green and quite heavily Agrax'd

Thought there's quite a difference in tone between them at that point, but the highlight is barely noticeable from more than 18 inches away

How obvious should the highlights be from TT height? I'm newish and haven't really had a completed army or experience on the table yet

Haven't done in-flight rockets before. How does /tg/ like it's smoketrails?

Thin and straight by the rocket, blooming out further back?

Bulbous by the engine, tapering off closer to the launcher?
No smoke at all, just an anonymous black rod?

>>55285902

but makes me not wanna show off the paint job after I'm done because I'm really bad at it

I want to see how scion limbs look on skitarii torsos if it's even possible.

>>55286596
Just a realism point, the rocket's motor wouldn't be firing at that stage of the launch or it would be incinerating the crews faces. You'd have a little puff of black smoke from the launch charge which bumps the rocket out to a safe distance before it's motor starts.

>>55286596
Option #1.

You need to learn 2 things.
1) Thin, Thicken, Mix your paints so you know what color they will turn into. Paint a fucking piece of card so at least you have an idea of what the end product will look like.
2) Fine Motor Control. Paint your miniatures in water and see where you touch areas you didn't mean to. Then buy a finer brush. Pluck your nose hair if you have to. No brush is ever "too" fine.

>>55286998
In all seriousness:
Learn good hand posture. Rest your arms on the table, and your wrists towards each other. Helps you steady your hands.

Use shades and drybrushing to get started, they're easy to get to a tabletop-ready level, but then try your hand at highlighting, even if it looks like crap at first. There are plenty of tutorials for all these.

Don't forget to do proper mouldline cleanup, there's no excuse not to learn decent modeling to start with.

Prime your models. I'd suggest you get a spray can, priming by hand might bore you out if you're new to it.

And finally, thin your paints. No need to go full Duncan, but at least don't go pushing around thick gooey droplets

If only someone had told me all this when I was a wee lad maybe I'd actually be able to do a decent paintjob by now.

>>55287204
Admittedly the lightings not the best in your picture, so I can't quite tell how much you've done with the skin, but if you've got a good basecoat, I'd darken it down with a wash, and then pick out the details on the skin with highlights on all the non-recessed bits.

Tips?

>>55288780
Paint more, get good, then get fast. What you painted is basically higher table top quality. But the more you paint and the better you get will increase the speed you work at, so don't worry too much.

>>55288780
>The Good
Noice technique on the blade and orbs.
I see the effort on the eyes, crest, and ribs.
>The Bad
Paint is a bit thick, on the collar specifically.
Mould lines.
His armored skirt is over-shaded, ruining the gold. Same on headpiece.
One of his "gut" tubes is not colored. The smooth one in between the ribbed ones.
>Tips
Base the model, if you can. You can buy stuff at a train shop or hobby shop for cheap on the dollar per pound.
Use a glossy varnish, krylon satin crystal clear is what i use on my crons. It is a spray paint. Keeps the silver and gold looking metallic.

Happy painting, Cryptek.

I've never worked with plasticard before,
care to elaborate?

>>55290876
Plasticard comes in a pack and they are sized about the size of a magic card/playing card.
They are not made of the same type of plastic as GW models, so you can heat them up, cut them up, and bend them into form easily.
What I would suggest would be to get your card and cut it into a basic triangle-ish pattern (more like a skinny-top rectangle), set it, greenstuff some more plasticard triangles (cloak flaps), and greenstuff or bend the edges (making it look fabric-e).
There are about 5000 youtube videos showing how to handle plasticard.

Lamenters don't follow the normal (i.e., already weird enough) heraldry conventions of other Blood Angels successors.

I'm with >>55290309: the black stripe is where it's at.

Of course, if you want to add marksman honours, purity seals, and other embellishments, it couldn't hurt.

>>55282949
Some advice going off of your previous work, you should incorporate a nice variety of colors because you past work have had little variation in color and has led to it looking uniform and bland. Also I'd tone down how many of the strong highlights you have, it's a nice contrast but when the model is covered in small intricate highlights it becomes too busy and unfocused.

>>55290813
Very original color scheme, but if you don't add some depth to that white it's just going to look unintentional/unfinished

>>55292610
Doesn't really apply to miniatures: you need enough contrast to be visible from a distance. Same reason as why you highlight and shade even though the shape of the model itself will provide shadows.

>>55292090

Oh sure thing,

Metal is Leadbelcher with a light wash of agrax, wait till dry then a light wash of nuln oil. Highlight is plain Storm Host Silver. Brown on rivets is very watered down Tuskgor fur, thin layer, dry, thin layer dry, repeat

Golds / bronze is all - leadbelcher base, Retributor layer (lead belcher helps Retributor apply like a dream) Multiple Sepia washes (NOT agrax) as Sepia darkens the gold, Agrax just dulls it. Edge with Retributor and if you want a final ultra fine edge of stormhost. (stormhost highlight not required)

you want to make sure you get all the mold release agent off from them. Cause if you don't clean them the primer will just flake off later.
So I always take an old toothbrush and give them a light scrub with regular dish detergent. That gets rid off all the talcum, oil or whatever else is on there.

Looking at the model, the parts that immediately stick out for me are the banner, the brass tank in the back, and the warpstone up front. Focusing on those points, I think, while having a more muted color for the main body might work.

I particularly like that ice effect on the stonehorn, by the way. If you wanted to vary up the Doomwheel a bit, you could use that effect on the warpstone bits instead of the usual green. It definitely pops.

Listen to what the other anons said about thinning paints its extremely important. What i would add that i wish i knew.

Take your time, its not a race, applying several thin coats is the way to do it, not one thick coat. This takes time.

Do not rush. There is 2 ways i think are most common to paint. You do all the base coats for all the parts of the model and then begin to shade/layer/highlight each part from there or you pick one part of the model ie; the skin and complete that part from base to finished highlights then go onto the next part, i personally find the first method to be better, because you are going to make lots of mistakes and you risk spoiling the parts you may have completed if you do method 2. Although your model is going to look like total shit right up until your almost finished it which can be disheartening.

Post on wip, dont be embarssed or ashamed because most of us were total shit at one point, this is a learned skill that the more time you practice he better you get but you can save alot of time by getting critique from anons here who can maybe teach you a technique or something you didnt know about.

Watch duncans videos on the games workshop youtube, they are begnner friendly and short.

gluck and learn to have fun with the process.

Hmm the brass tank was an interesting choice i actually glossed over it when thinking about my paintjob. I focused on the warpstone, banner , and blades

Do you think a rusted and drity look would be better or go more eye catching with osl glow blades and crazy warpstone effects

Thanks for digging the ice, it's actually super easy which made it all the more fun to paint
Pic related is my thought for general scheme of the wheel

to my understanding the shoota's are better against other hordes but if you can manage to put a buff on choppas they'll preform better on marines and shit.

How come some of my shade paints from gw appear shiny even once they've dried on the model? Am I not shaking them enough prior to use or are they too old?

anyone think skitarii heads might look good on Primaris marines? I fucking hate their base helmets and can always fall back on mk6-8 helms but this could look interesting. Got no parts to check with though

>>55296119
>>55296398
Both are fantastic.
Sluggas get the extra attack sure, but if the shoota boys are above 20+ models they get an extra attack regardless, and if a mob of shootas gets into cc thats still 3 attacks per ork if above 20 which is more than enough.
I have 23 slugga orks with warpath wipe out a 40-50 man conscript blob in 1 phase. 105 slugga attacks....

>>55296514
Don't think it will necessarily look bad, but doesn't really say 'Marine' I think.
At least not unless you got tabards and robes on your dudesmen. Only the hoods would look odd to me.

>>55279233

Walmart dollartree paints to start out, don't go overboard. Just pick out some primary and a few secondary paints and a decent sealer. Synthetic brushes, 1,2,0, and a couple cheap 1 or 2 size round for drybrushing. Once you see how fun and easy it is to paint you can spend the cash and buy some Reaper paints. I recommend the painting kits, good selection and they will teach you some tricks. When you buy the better paint you will see how it improves the things you paint up. Cheap paints are not bad but sometimes they just suck.
Tips: Prime in white unless it has a lot of metal. Always prime metal stuff black. You can prime black and zethial drybrush white for easy highlighting. Thin you paints but not too much. To start, all you to do is paint a couple base coats for smooth coverage. Highlight with a couple shades brighter and wash with a few shades darker. Done. Research washes and drybrushing and shit if you don't know.

>>55296588
Meant the helmeted ones, I agree that the hoods would look odd unless for a very religious looking Iron Hands successor. Which honestly isn't a half-bad idea...

>>55281956

Looks alright, nothing fancy. It doesn't distract from the model so I think you're fine.

>>55296392
Would have been easier with the daemon holding an axe... but i've tried axes and they blow....also i dont own green stuff, i have like plumbers putty and it's garbage so I tried my best just not to have any lines at all

besides all that i want people's opinions....


just black under the helmet or glowing red eyes?

This is going to be my Relictor Captain/Chaos Lord. I MIGHT switch the mace arm out, but given I'll be running him with the Black Mace in game it'll only be if I find a better replacement bludgeon. Going to prime him today and hopefully get started painting tomorrow, along with the rest of the warband.

>>55289159
darken the eyes. it almost always makes faces look better. the brow casts a pretty serious shadow.

>>55297528
>such nice models
Let's be honest, the ork boy sculpts aren't the nicest in the world.
Technically if you go with larger bases that's illegal but it depends on the group.

>>55295962
I think a rusted and dirty look for the body, with OSL on the warpstone and surrounding surface would look great. The danger with OSL of course is that's it's really easy to overdo, but I think you'll manage just fine.

>>55297381
Looks very nice

>>55291943
Looks good. Nice and creepy

So when I finally get around to painting the Nurgle stuff from the Know No Fear boxed set, I was thinking of trying a more radioactive looking theme than the usual. Any tips of getting a good glowing effect? I was imagining a dark grey for the armor and bright green/yellows for the eyes, internal organs etc.

Anyone know how well a Deathwing Knight robed torso front can be fitted onto a cataphractii back? I really want to spice up some DA characters in cataphractii.

>>55299071
Don't think it'll work. Cataphractii only has room for the top part of the head and Tartaros has a high gorget.

Iron Hands dude from Deathwatch Overkill box

Alright /wip/, I'm painting a doomwheel, I know warpstone is typically described as green but do you think other colors would work? Or is it best to just stick with tradition?

>>55297632
Nice Chimera turret, but if I might ask, why not model a 2x Heavy Flamer one? Seems like it could be fun.

Ty anon. The white has more depth than it shows in the pic but my phone camare does not like it very much and I don't have a manual white balance adjustment

The loincloths and the fabric on the beastlord still needs blue/pink washes and then white highlights to make it look like rough hand dyed material
