WIP - Work In Progress General

I got my first ever pot of Lahmian Medium today, I'm making custom mixes in separate pots. My only gripe is how much medium you need to use to make a glaze or wash. It's a fucking lot in comparison.

Rate B paint scheme. I can't be the only one that likes it.

>>55421067
I think you need another layer on that red. Looks to be a bit thin to me.

>>55421090
You are.

>>55421026
I already know I'm gonna need to buy a lot more of this shit. I made a mix of darkened green to cover up some blotches on my Stealthsuit armour and not only does it cover every fucking blemish I made, but it goes on so fucking smoothly. Perfect coverage, one thin coat.

If anyone can recommend more price efficient alternatives for it from other companies, I'd love it. I'm gonna need a bigass bottle.

the colors do not fit well. A is a bit better.

>>55421090
It can work, just take away the yellow on the feet and hands and your good, whats the chapter name?

>>55421107
More often than not, I don't. I just do two thin layers of flesh tone and a wash, don't even bother with eyes because I know I'm gonna fuck it up.

Whatever you're doin with those Sisters, keep doin it, m8. Looking pretty nice there.

>>55421124
How do you guys paint faces? I have a hard time everytime.

What's a good way to make cloth look shitty and worn without drybrushing?

>>55421026
Lahmian Medium is just liquid acrylic medium except GW has put it in a tiny jar and cranked up the price.

Update on the Glow

>>55421195
Looking good

>>55421124
holy hell you actually have a hospitilar fig?

>>55421153
So any acrylic medium I find in any art store can suffice? I thought GW changed a formula or some shit. Lots of reviews I read say that Lahmian is the best even though they tried other companies' stuff.

>>55421195
Much better!

>>55421195
I'm going to ignore your disgusting overuse of BftBG because that glow is really cool

>>55421246
Yeah, I picked her up alongside some diazmonettes and imperial psykers from that limited run GW was did a while back.

It would be an alternative scheme for space wolves. Yellow is retributor armour gold. The idea would be a lot of gold bling.

The pink, gold and blue-gray should form a colour triad, but I am a complete beginner painter and dont exactly know how that shit works.

I've recently bought two of those bad boyz, but I've never painted anything bigger than killa kan.

How do I approach model this big?
I got an airbrush, but I've spent maybe 10 hours so far using it, and I don't feel confindent enough.

Also, still thinking about colour scheme. Should I go full rusty with browns and oranges all over, or spray dark iron all over him and do zenithal with brighter metallic?

I am probably starting this Army's on Parade Project far too late, but at least it motivated me to get something done.
The picture doesn't give the best Idea of how I want this to look in the end, but it's all I have right now.
The necron flyer is a standin for a helldrake conversion, yet to begin.
The lying model to it's right is the beginning of a keeper of secrets conversion.
The slightly bigger cybot is a stand in for a hellbrute conversion, material yet to be acquired.
The three models behind Celestines squad should be replaced with daemonettes converted into raptors. Build but baseless.
The two somewhat empty bases towards the middle are a Lord and a dark apostle, which are actually more or less build by now.
And I will have to rebase all the daemonettes.

>>55421195
You need to make the rest of the model darker or tone down the glow

>>55421345
Good start so far. I hope you plan on livening up the trim though.

I don't understand what I'm doing wrong - tried it with natural light, natural+artificial, and purely artificial. Models are still too dark. Sad days.

Got some more work done on Chaos Johnny. Just need to highlight and he will be done

>>55422108
Mistakes can be corrected.

I spent ages looking at a grey army but one day I decided to stop being scared and do it anyway. Sat down and did 1 fire warrior to get the scheme done and have an example model for the rest. Then I started doing them in batches of 5. "Today I'll do all their armours", "Today, I'll get the undergarments and black cleanup done" etc. When I got bored of the same unit type, I switched to another to give myself a slight fluff-sanctioned variation of the scheme to avoid burnout.

A month later I had 1.2K worth of Tau fully painted. Get to work, you didn't spend all that money to have it gather dust and be a source of guilt every time you look at them. You're better than this.

>>55422172
Excellent highlighting, love the fleshy striping on the tentacles, super gross

>>55422141
A good way to make cables out of GS is to roll it into a thin cylinder and then run a comb over it and roll it under the comb slightly, makes a really regular even cable with little effort. Just do it on a piece of plastic that's wetted so it keeps the shape without sticking/smearing on the table

>>55422445
Then do recommend some others? I'm keen to try them.

>Get model to a standard I'm happy with, going to buy some more paint and do some highlighting later
>Decide to do the chapter symbol
>Fuck it up
>Decide to buy a micron pen instead

Anyone got experience using them? My paint brushes/my own skills are too shitty to do accurate small freehand.

>>55421153

>>55422470
Great tabletop standard
Bases could do with a little love though

>>55422524
These bases are really just temporary. I've got some sick bases inbound that emulate the base of a trench. Seems fitting for Trenchers.

Iron Knights, but with the chapter symbol on the shoulder. This is my first time trying painting again after the mess of my early teens. Kinda wishing I would have chosen a chapter I can use transfers on but I'm committed now.

>>55422502
If you search for PROFESSIONAL ACRYLIC MATT MEDIUM by Windsor and Newton, and thin it down properly you can make more medium than you'll ever need for the cost of a few pots of Lahmian.

Lukes APS on YouTube has a really good tutorial for ratios and what have you.

Necromancer Warband Update

All I found time for the last couple days was basing this grave servant and painting this really cool Wraith.

The Wraith took ages because I tried a different mix than just straight VGC Shadow Grey and had to do several coats of a blue glaze to get a blue tint back into it that the mixed had knocked out. Vallejo Glaze Medium dries very, very slow if anyone was curious.

>>55422584
I know, I had a look at them. I'm very tempted, but I've already glued the pauldrons on for this squad. I'm a bit hesitant to spend money on any 3-D printing that might not be 100%, he admits on the site there might be some errors.

>>55422618
That's fair.
Best of luck regardless. Painting chapter symbols is a bitch.

>>55422584

>illegally
>selling a conversion part with an icon that isn't GW owned

Does anyone have any guides for making banners for models? I've never done it before and I don't want to fuck it up

>>55422584
its not illegal to sell knock-offs.

>>55422686
>>55422702
Pretty sure GW lawyers have figured out a way to sue for selling parts that GW doesn't make, but could potentially be making even if they don't actually intend to.

I like using Geedub's website to compare paints as they have a nice 'general overview where you can view all the colours of a respective live at once, however recently any attempt to view those pages is giving 404's. Anyone know what's up?

>>55422807
They recently released a painting app, or will be soon, so maybe the painting material on the website is going to be updated or removed.

I'm almost done painting one plague marine, a lord of contagion and a plaguecaster but after that I will continue on one helbrute and a bloat drone. Then after that I have 2 boxes of nurgle daemons, another dark imperium half of death guard, 60 poxwalkers, Epidemius, 2 Daemon Princes a predator, 6 plague marines and Morty to paint as well as a few old models I had laying around like 6 bloodcrushers, 10 horrors, some bloodletters, a couple older chaos/plague marines, 2 blight drones, forgeworld DG dreadnought and 15 metal plaguebearers.

As long as you continue your work it will build up and more grey will turn into more color; do not worry about it.

>>55423188
You know, purple red and yellow may seem like they're sitting nicely next to each other on the colour wheel, but that doesn't mean any specific shades of red, purple and yellow will play along nicely with each other, especially not when the blending of the transitions is, well, in need of more practice. Purple and red in particular have a nasty tendency to clash hard with each other.

>>55423609
No, do Greek numerals!

>>55421394
Paint it in sub-assemblies! Just make sure to put masking tape over the joints you're going to glue, and just make sure you're good in the planning stage about how you're going to paint the model, and how each part is going to look once it's all attached.

On Imperial Knights, I like to build and paint the legs, torso, and arms all separately and just finish building after I've got the major parts of the painting done. I do weathering and important detail work as the final step in a project. I imagine a similar approach would work with your megadread. Good luck Anon!

Hrm. I had considered Greek numerals - a friend suggested exactly that (with that exact picture, actually, odd). I WAS considering pic related, as they're just the right size to fit the inner circle of the shield, but I'm worried they wont really fit the 40k aesthetic.

Hadn't thought of just leaving them as is, though. I guess my brain was rebelling at the idea of more metallics on an already heavily metallic model. But that could work too.

It's nice to see models of humanoids that actually look like reasonably proportioned humanoids rather than roided apemen sometimes.

Also bottom middle immediately made me think Jetstream Sam.

>>55423734
They look great honestly. I can only imagine how much you spent on every single conversion piece.

>>55423734
Nicely done. I've never been able to get EC pink to work for me.
Those are some awful strange-looking sonic blasters though...

>>55423734

I like the black and white squares alongside the pink it looks really nice. Not a fan of the pig tails type hair on the far left one it looks more anime meme tier than grim dark maroons but each their own. Other than that my only suggestion is the skin on the far right one could do with abit more detail.

>>55423828
I only have a few sonic blasters left in my bits box and wanted to wait until i finished this first box of primaris before I start doing noise marines. My dream is to make a full list and set these guys up for armies on parade, it would be nice to atleast place. I'd be happy with that.

>>55423842
>Not a fan of the pig tails type hair on the far left one
I think those are horns.

>>55423842
Oh god don't remind me, I hate the far right one. I look at that one and then the other one with skin and just curse to myself.

Necromancer Warband Update

Really been looking forward to this dude. He has a cool pose and I like the idea of spiky dark metal armor.

The model came with an alternate head that makes him look a little too much like Sauron so I opted for the plain old menacing skull.

>>55424114

Kinda wonder what it would look like with glowing red eyes, but it would probably look cheesy or silly.

Should hopefully be. I did get air bubbles coming out like I expected.

I don't hold out too much hope for this first attempt being great. Especially with the lack of the syringe to inject the mould properly.

But overall I am pretty happy with how it is going. Already have an order with Lego so I can avoid fucking around with clay walls again.

Should have some results within an hour.

>>55426738
I've found that the resin ruins a syringe after one use. try making a vibrating table, they aren't too hard with some basic soldering skills for the motor.

I casted over 3k points of arbites a few years ago for adepticon, I wanted to kill myself by the end of it

Anyone have a link to guides for painting infinity models as they're shown on the site? Those paintjobs are pure sex imo but I have no idea how to recreate them

Noice.

Have you tried recast an entire sprue? Like literally an all together sprue?

I mean I get that a bunch of resin would be wasted on the sprue itself, but does that actually work?

I'm tempted to try that with the Tau Gun Drone sprues so I don't have to fuck around making a proper mould for the aerials and gun bits much.

Guys I have the most unsteady hands ever, what do you recommend to keep me from fucking up so hard? My figures look like Michael J Fox painted them.

>>55426924
Lots of practice, and perhaps a cup of chamomile tea.
If you want an exercise to help practice steadying your hands, take some x-acto blades and hold them between your fingers, blade facing inwards.
Now, jack off without cutting yourself.

>>55423571
I think lambdas, like the spartans and therefore the minotaurs. Although its not written in the IA minotaurs kill markings are based on lambdas. As per alan blighs rather kind pm to me on the bnc. IIRC 500 or so was 1 lambda so the 3 lambadas on top of each other was like 1500. If you care I can go look up the pm.

>>55426894
nah, since plastic sprues are injected with pressure, I never thought it would work with a gravity feed. You need air channels to work with the resin

They literally just send copyright infringement notices to anyone who makes anything they don't like regardless of whether or not there is a legitimate copyright or trademark dispute involved. This works because GW is a large company with a dedicated legal team and hardly anyone is willing to stand up to them, in cases where people actually do stand up to them lawsuits typically don't actually favor GW, but the threat of having to potentially have to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in damages to GW is enough to make anyone who can't afford that to just bend over and comply with GW.

It's generic corporate copyright bullying.

I have several of them and they are basically thinned down to a degree that allows you to use them straight out of the bottle without thinning, having a good consistency already, might be too thin for edge highlights. That is only true for the non metallic ones, the metallic ones suck.
Havent used them in an airbrush yet, and don't know anyone who has.

>>55422108
alright nigger this is the plan. get the pox walkers and slap a skin tone on them (green, flesh, or something) paint the cloth all 1 color.. dark green or something.. slap some metal on whatever is a metal. Red wash skin. sepia or strong tone the rest. Add some highlights and done. I did 20 pox walkers in half a day. Once you have that success tackle those fucking Marines, make 2 groups the tact team and the rest. prime in color, basic colors, wash. Army will look like it's wipe and progressing. Use that momentum to finish it.

and stop ordering crack until you smoked what u have.. or just sell it. Admit your failure and inability to stick it out.. consider changing hobby perhaps underwater hockey is your thing

So I want to make my first foray into using greenstuff modelling by adding scales to cloaks for Salamanders, e.g. He'stan's cloak.

>>55428985
Soap and water nigga. Scrub that bitch like it was a dirty hoe.

For adhesive though it really depends on the resin. Some work fine with superglue as normal, others just don't. Usually due to the mould release they use. Even after washing.

Pinning is good idea, but arguably only really necessary on stuff the will have pressure or weight on the joins.

Citadel Air is good for paintbrushing without thinning, but it's still too thick to be airbrushed through non-retarded needle sizes and PSI. Nobody actually uses the 0.5 nozzles and like 35+ PSI that this thickness requires. Same with "airbrush" primers.

Air paints are pre-mixed with thinner for use in airbrushes. You can also buy the Air Caste Thinner by itself - it works a lot like Flow Improver. Some of my m8s use Citadel Air paints for doing thin highlights.

Looks mainly like you need to thin your paints a little more, and then do a bunch of thin layers rather then one thick one.

>>55429832
Do you have any tricks to thinning? It seems like I always over do it and it just becomes a wash

>>55429830
Yeah but my CSM renegades don't have a set scheme, any single model or multiple may have their own, thought I'd do a few dark metallic purple. That said it'll probably drown out my chapter colour, which is lambo black.

>>55429897
i get ya man. I had the same troubles when i tried to get my metallic purple for 30k EC done right

Got a bit of extra dosh covering for my workmate, so I thought I'd indulge a bit. These are all for my Dark Mechanicus for AoP next year. Skrolk will need the most work, probably. What do you guys think?

>>55429902
Ah I see, did you get there in the end? With the metal medium? I'd love to see a pic.

That said, how about this? Regular purple painting, but highlight in the pale metallic purple you get from mixing silver with dark purple. That might also make the black distinct.

Anyone know how to paint thunder hammers in an exciting way? For my power swords etc I've done a lightning effect, but on thunder hammers there's no blade to do this on or any obvious place for power to come out.
Any ideas/inspiration much appreciated!

>>55422731
the opposite actually happened. they lost the chapterhouse lawsuit and as a result they stopped making rules for shit they didnt have models for.

>>55429903
Good finds, anon. Especially that space marine with the power axe
Gonna do any casting?

>>55430018
I might if I knew how.
Also there's another one available if you're interested.

Base is VGC Royal Purple. Top/Right is the purple purple mixed with VGC Silver. Bottom/Left is silver mixed with Druchii Violet
The wash gives a stronger metal but lighter purple tint, for obvious reasons.

Which looks best/makes you think the armour is metallic?

Hey thanks!

I started painting these dudes mostly for Frostgrave, though really I suppose they could be used for anything with Undead in it, I didn't do anything setting specific with them.

Managed to finish up my Apprentice this morning before work. I sorta picture him as the muscle to the old Necromancer's brains (hence the hand weapon and armor over his robes).

Would it be too much if I called my CSM renegades The Fingerblast Brigade?

>>55430518
Are they Slaanesh? If so, yes, if not, yes. I call my Space Marine Captain "FuckBastard"

>>55430518
Only if you don't go to the trouble of modeling all of them making finger guns.

>>55430534
kek. I wasn't actually serious but I think I'll call a unit of marines that. I'm thinking of calling the flamer CSM squad "The Red Hot Chili Fuckers".

The warband are space pirates with a mix of undivided, slaanesh and khorne. They're in it for the fun and mayhem so I don't want to take them seriously. God knows I got 3 other armies I have strict rules on everything about. Need a fucking break.

And all I managed to do today. Which is actually as far as I planned as the min. First to layers of the hill are put down. Everything higher will get a different support for it's kork plate.
I decided to not scale up the wall along the planned waterfall, mainly because I'm yet undecided how it would look best in between the two walls.

Is this shit salvageable? Dug around in a box of old, unfinished models while reorganizing. Found this guy from a good couple of years back I'm finding myself liking the concept, but it's got heavy mold lines and a stupid thick layer of hand-applied primer.

Thoughts? Bin the guy? disassemble and strip?

Same fig, different angle.

>>55431283
Great concept but needs a good strip if you're to do him justice. It's for the greater good.

>>55430518
this is the place that spawned chapter-master smashfucker, name them whatever the fuck you feel like and take shit from no one, they're your dudes and if someone doesnt like it they can climb a wall of dicks

>>55431283
just rinse off the dust and repaint it.
who cares about mold lines or thick primer, no one will ever notice they will take one glance and say "Cool kroot merc" and then back to whatever they were doing

>>55431306
Will give it a shot, you know if stripping causes issues with liquid green stuff'?

>>55431349
I don't know, but in my experience, dettol has softened the grip of regular GS with plastic. Lost some trim off a CSM powerfist a few weeks ago when I stripped a squad. Came off during brushing.

>>55431322
I will mate, I'm having a blast. Got any recommendations for chapters/schemes for my CSM? I got 10 dudes and I need to hand out some schemes. So far I've got:

1 Marines Malevolent (Nobody likes him but they don't fuck with him cause flamer)
2 Steel Brethren = Bitter Braxus and Disgruntled Durzos (called "The Brothers Butthurt" by squad Trinity)
3 Damned Company of Lord Caustos = In it for the loot, they're mercenaries.

Trinity is the squad of Iron Warrior Obliterators named after famous nukes btw. Still juggling names for the rest.

>>55431395
Good to know. Most GS on the piece is pretty solid, though. Guess I can just redo/reapply anything that breaks.

Thanks tg.

>>55431416
also I'm playing with the idea of a Purge marine nicknamed Mr Stinky and a Scourged marine called Crazy Hassan.

>>55421425
Nice idea but looks too overcrowded. If you palce half the amount of models you have on that plate it would look better.

Some progress has been made, blue's done , gems and beards are nearly finished
Curse the nmm gold though

>>55431460
I had other placements with less models, but always found them a bit too empty, unless I was going to create a terreain piece more impressive to what I planned on doing.
And part of why I'm doing this is with the goal of actually getting all these models done. Could maybe skip the unstarted models, but I feel like I need the drake in the upper left corner twoards the end. The Cybot could be kicked out, but I wanted some balance between big stuff on the nurgle and slaanesh sides.

>>55430469
oh shit Im digging that model. Mind taking more shots of different angles? And a name of it too so I can get my hands on one as well.

Been working on my first terminators, happy with them so far but drawing text is a pain to make it look even half decent. Still got weathering to go (and arms)

>>55432891
I'm at my shop at the moment, but I'll take some more shots this evening.

I forget the dude's name, but if you search Bone Pander on Reaper's website he comes up.

>>55431474
good shit

>>55432911
looking rad mate. Maybe add some eye glow? 1 thin coat of wash around the eyes is enough with the white helmets
As for text, don't use straight black, use rhinox hide or 1:1 mix for a better 'text on scroll' look

>>55433083
I tried to eye glow with a yellow glaze, but the nuln oiled white ate it all up. In a similar fashion when I do it on normal marines the black helmets eat it too. Could swap to using a yellow paint with some medium to control the strength a bit better?

>>55433163
Yeah, making a stronger yellow glaze with paint would be fine too i reckon

Hey, for all you apartment people, if the majority of your apartment is carpet, do you put something underneath your workstation to make sure the carpet doesn't get fucked up if you spill?

I'll be getting my hands on one, I love how he looks. I would still like to see some pictures of your dude at a later time though, your warband looks amazing.

The black is flat though. I think you went too dark for the base and gave yourself no space for shading.

Thx, desu its quite easy, gitz ot the other hand look ok only from distance.

Basing with white is such life changer. before I based everything with black and than strugle to make decent colors(this wasnt so bad cuz my renegates where half-black/half-red) Now after having affair with Infinity I use white primer and its like blind man seeing for the first time.
Do you had similar experiance with white primer?

Finally make some OSL i'm happy with for my iron manrines. What do you think?

>>55433757
Thanks, was a bit worried about such a dark recess wash but that makes me feel better about the white.

The black is kind of intentional, to speed up my painting by priming black and skipping the armour wash + neaten up. Normally I spend weeks on a miniature but I actually want to play a game or two. Saying that if I see I really dark grey I might pick it up for characters; I worry if I just wash down something like skavenblight dinge it'll make the flat armour bits messy

>>55434467
Would light even be hitting the straps?
Also the models look a bit sloppy
