Start to my trench crusade iron sultanate house of wisdom
>>98791951From one FDM mini printer to another, before you prime them hit them with a middling-viscosity filler. Sprue goo can work as can some kinds of glue. It'll knock down the layer lines and fix imperfections for very little effort. It's more effective on 'organic' type miniatures though, less-so for mechanical things like vehicles, mechs, etc.You want something that is somewhat runny so it'll fill in the low points of the layer lines and adequately settle in.
Giant blue lady I am working on. Her skin came out pretty smooth for using a brush.
>>98791951Were it me who had FDM printed minatures I would just prime black and dry brush them white and call it good. They look like they just jumped out of an old book
>>98791951What printer/ profile are you using? Those look pretty damn good for FDM.
>>98792608p2s, 0.2mm nozzle, 0.06mm layersThat was my first print at that setting, 4 more cooking now
>>98792670Oh sick, I have the same printer.I have been very happy with the quality. I posted this pic in the last thread. I used this guys profile. It's about half way through the videohttps://youtu.be/G1EAzfAMzmk?is=tqdQNA31qxeS8qzG
>>98789471I was using Vallejo's uniform green but I bought a few other shades like olive green too, with the idea being to layer them to make actual camo patterns before I realised that was way the fuck outta my depth. Will try shading it more on a mini and get stuff for a wash after work.>>98789510I see, thanks.>>98789803Will try that.>>98790000I like them mostly for the fact that being the one group of guys in camo among the dudes wearing bright blues and yellows blowing shit up is very humorous to me. Plus it'll be even funnier when I get good enough at painting to justify the big expensive models because I wanna pair them with something retarded like a bright yellow knight.>>98791069I tried to make the undersuit black, then parts of the gun grey but the undersuit only really shows on the black and I sort of gave up and blasted the gun black.
the humble rhino
>>98792890and the humble sunfury plasma annihilator; a match made in heaven
>>98792899>Watch Me Do A Sick Ollie, Bro!>On each turn that you fire the Sunfury Plasma Annihilator, roll a scatter dice. Move the model 10d6 inches in the direction of the scatter dice (if the scatter dice rolls a hit, move the model 12d6 inches in the direction of the arrow within the crosshairs of the hit marker). The model counts as having moved at its max speed for the next turn with regards to firing weapons, but can act normally in other phases.

So what do I think about the new GW paints?
>>98793011Why are you trying to destroy us from within, anon?
Got some more progress on my 'ku two. Not finished to my standard yet, but don't think I have much time to put more work into it before the contest deadline, so it might end up submitted as is.
>>98793026
>>98793081Looking good, what is it?
>>98793200Zaku ii from the new Gundam wargame, I was invited to some contest for it.
>>98792890Why the plastic card?
>>98792899Beautiful.
Orktober Mini #6. Anyone else find it weird that Gretchin have 5 fingers but 4 toes?
>>98793716Look at that happy little grin
>>98792890>>98792899tip top lel, great stuff.
>>98793081Looks sick, what would you change/add given the time?I wasn't a big fan of the Zaku design when I first got a little into gunpla, but I came around to it. The RX78 still looks contemporary to me, but the zaku looked dated in a way. But some designs make it look less goofy and way meaner.I think you could make some cool Iron Warriors or something with bits from a zaku like the shoulder pads and heads.
calling her done
>>98792765>>98789251>Came out just as bad on the second goI think maybe the camo green for my first chapter wasn't the best go, but admittedly the varnish i bought wasn't as matte as I expected. I think tomorrow I'll get a different brand of matte varnish if that still doesn't work I think I'll just paint the basic ultramarines or some shit.I'd tried to mix multiple shades of green in layers but it just looks like I vomited on the thing...
>>98794395Anon, no matter what color you pick to paint the marines with, it will look like shit with gloss varnish over it. If you are limited to rattle cans, TS-80 flat clear from Tamiya is imo the golden standard. Vallejo Matt is not terrible, either. Also, don't try to come up with your own camo. It's a science of its own, and for a good reason. Just copy some real camo colors. Also, camo is meant to be disruptive at distance, so don't just mix greens - real stuff is composed of many colors.
Colour choice question here.Which colour would you pick the main colour for the blue panels on this?I'm going to use this colour scheme for my stealth suit Kill Team. I've been wanting to do Tau in that particular colour scheme for years.I bought AK's Imperial Blue, which looked perfect on colour charts, but is actually way off in person. It's a really cool colour that's extremely saturated and intense, but the wrong kind of blue. Would be perfect for High Elves stuff.I have a pretty good idea about how I want to do all the other colours, but I need the blue to be just right.What would you guys recommend for this?
>>98794577I would call that Dark Prussian Blue but pictures like this are sometimes (intentionally or not) shifted towards violet. But Prussian is probably good starting point.
>>98794387I'm finishing too if you catch my drift
How do I rehydrate my wet palette or stop it from drying so quickly? I paint for about an hour and then the paints on it have basically dried. The sponge is still wet and I see water on the sides but the paper itself is dry? Do I need to just remove the paper? Kind of defeats the purpose of the palette. I've tried squirting water on the side but that seems kind of useless.
>>98794661Post pics, and what kind of paper do you use? Wax paper doesn't work, you need to use unwaxed non-stick baking paper.
>>98794577Mr. Hobby Gundam Color Titans Blue 2Equivalents: https://www.paint-vault.com/paint/32403-mr-hobby-titans-blue>GW: Kantor Blue>Vallejo: Ultramarine Violet
>>98794657
>>98794679I just use this guy with the paper they give you:https://gameenvy.net/product/exemplar-wet-palette/The paper is not curling or anything, the paint is just unable to be picked up by my brush anymore.
>>98794395and other anon missed this; do not just splatter paint on your guy for the pattern, you dont have to be neat with the brush but you do have to be consistent as it's a PATTERN. you dab the paint on in3-5 roughly similar shapes all over the place, then switch to your next colour and do it again.
>>98794708>>98794661Do keep in mind that no wet palette will keep the paints straight-out-of-the-bottle wet for very long, they just keep it damp enough to re-wet with a little bit of water from your brush.
Made a small area terrain base from cardboard to test texturing and sawdust as "grass" flock for the first time.Not terrible, but I think I'll give it one or two more tries.
>>98794914
>>98794661What palette are you using?
>>98794914>>98794935Nobody screws with the Tank Police!
>>98794636>>98794688Thanks for the suggestions! They all look pretty good, I just need to see them in use or in person. I thought I had it nailed with Imperial Blue, but it was way off in person even though it's a really cool colour.Yeah, there are a couple of different versions of the same art with different temperature colours, but this one is my favourite. The blues always have a slight purple tone to them and the inner frame and some weapon bits have that grey'ish purple too.I'm just going for the whole Hazel Gundam scheme. I think it's going to look sick on Tau.
>>98794661My shitty DIY wet pallete can keep the paints usable for weeks, what the fuck are you doing?
>>98795116anon is a victim of marketingmany such cases
>>98795116It's really matter of finding right paper and right sponge material. I had serious problems with finding right combination before (have entire fucking drawer in kitchen full of different baking paper brands) before finding okay one (at least until they change formula or something, to make it better for baking but useless for what I need it for) AND switched sponge from Infinity boxes I was re-using like that to those absorbing wipes sold at hardware stores. Paints still dry, of course, but keep their wetness much longer.
Just use wetter water
>>98794661>>98795171The sponge is only there to provide a backing for the water. Kitchen roll, kitchen towel, literally anything absorbent works. For paper I use the cheapest non-stick baking paper. It just werks.
>>98795192>How do we get our water so wet? Like this! Plus, we use the whole water! That's 65% more water per water!
>>98795222Again, "just use baking paper" is ill advice since different brands behave differently, some are covered on both sides, some only on one, some use thinner layers of silicone/whatever, some thicker. They are optimized towards their designated use, not our hobby creative one.
>>98795116why lie?
>>98792988I was wondering if something was missing.
>>98795251I'm scared ;_;
>>98795235I've yet to find a baking paper that doesn't work. The coating is necessary for the paper to not fall apart, that's about it.
>>98795171>>98795222>>98795235where have people gotten this misunderstanding that wet palette is some magical contraption that keeps your paints usable for days on end you are not supposed to store your paints on the palette you are supposed to store your paints in their pots palette keeps them wet for longer so they dont dry on you as fast as in normal conditionsdont pour half the bottle on there just take what you need and use that to paint dont just let it set and dry overnight and make the 9000th post about how you were lied to on the Internet
>>98792988Christmas is cancelled this year, sorry
>>98795277>where have people gotten this misunderstanding that wet palette is some magical contraption that keeps your paints usable for days on endNTA, but that's exactly what wet palette should do, and in case of nonshit wet palettes, it's exactly what they do. Good wet palette with a lid > put it in the fridge at the end of the day > you can go for days.
>>98795277>>98795303My store all my paints in wet palletes. I've got a wet pallete for each color, wash, and contrast paint. It keeps for literally years in the freezer.
>>98795312go shitpost somewhere else, faggot
>>98795303but whythis has never been an issue until this said gadget was sold in stores and became trendy
>>98795336Some projects take longer than one sitting, anon. It's not rocket physics. >muh trendyStop being silly.
>>98795312>>98795336>>98795338Also, I've just checked - the first commercial wet palette (1970s) had a lid exactly for the purpose I mentioned. Unless you are 90, it's not anything trendy.
>>98795349i was laughed for using wet palette since 2008 because it was not apparently even invented so that atleast settles that
>>98795398It's just the usual 4chong crab behavior. >let's use these cool scale model techniques that's been around for fifty years>noooo, stop doing that trendy garbage>let's use these artist tools that's been around for centuries/decades>noooo, stop doing that trendy garbageThere are still mongoloids even itt who will tell you that using airbrush or oil paints is either cheating, or some incredible modern trend that's being certainly shilled by youtubers.
did i overdo it with the grass and tufts
>>98795450me when I invent scenarios in my head to get angry about
>>98795456https://archive.4plebs.org/tg/search/text/airbrush%20cheating/It's common enough that it is a meme at this point.
>>98795454Nope, looks great. Like they're in a grassy field.
>>98795246What? Ferrero box with a good sponge work great
>>98795450>using airbrush or oil paints is either cheatingWell, airbrush is, kinda like washes and speedpaints. Oil is just a hipster thing.
>>98795469thank you anon then i will base the rest the same
>>98795450as anon nicely demonstrates here >>98792239the airbrush is a needless excess expense and your desire to "save time" with it only exposes that you do not enjoy painting, and therefore begs the question "why the fuck play games in which painting is a major primary component?"Is it that you just desire the association with the process? I admire the slight dedication to force yourself to arrive at the end result just for the mad street cred that comes with painting tiny inaction figures, but surely vidya would be more your (literal) speed?
>want to paint>go to work>don’t want to paint anymore>keep buying more paints, tools and minis>go to work>don’t want to paint anymoreWhat is a vicious circle

>>98795608>edited screenshotYou keep making it worse
>>98795581>>98795594man can't even joke nowadays...
>>98795626>not funny>I can't jokeClearly
>>98795630but I smiled as I posted it, wtf??
>>98795450>>98795545>>98795568its kinda the nature of thingsmust be the 9000th time im typing this in one form or the another but every time some new technology comes around its deemed as cheating because its so easyfirst dipping and using inks was cheating then came washes that puritan painters hated etc etc and airbrushing was this new really cool thing where you could finally make realistic spotlights and even surfaces and what they call volumetric lighting these daysairbrushing still gets the hate in one form or another because all the techniques people have invented for it and it is recommended as the easy starter way instead of learning all the normal brush painting first something new will eventually come around again and it will be the new cheating
>>98795633Yeah, little shits usually do when they clown around. Basic instinct to reduce the odds of rejection when the joke falls flat.
>>98795689you really got a stick up your arse, don't you
>>98795454depends, grass grows that tall in the wilderness.

>>98795454Hell no. That looks awesome.

Pictures of Rin calm me down.>>98795988I worry that the declining numbers have just made it not feasible
>>98796001>I worry that the declining numbers have just made it not feasibleSanta and I had that conversation last year. It almost didn't happen, but he was willing to stick it out to see what kind of results we got. There were fewer participants last year than in the years before, but I think we both chalked that up to 4chan's getting hacked.I hope to hear from him soon. It's the middle of the night there in Germany right now, so maybe we'll have something by tomorrow.
>>98796031>middle of the night there in Germanyit's 9pm here
>>98795469>>98795765>>98795909thank you anon i have been working on these fow models and on this table for few months and now i put this little show together to see how they go togetherim little proud of myself because this is starting to look pretty cooli have some 50 WIP tanks on on their way too and now im excited to say the least
>>98796031Honestly I don't think I'm gonna do it this year. I might change my mind but I'm also just struggling to be alive. It might be fun to have a goal to do though, but I have to go overboard on everything I do, so idk, it's hard to commit right now.
Mostly done with my giant blue lady. What color should I do her toenails? I was thinking darker blue but I dunno.
>>98796097Regular toenail color. Every time I try to do off color, alien changes to really small stuff, it never works out. I think you have to have some realistic things on the model in order to sell the fantastical
>>98796158Phone AI really fucked this picture up.Also:>anime head tilt .gif
>>98796158sorry, equator posting
>>98796097>What color should I do her toenails?Off-white with a hint of blue to them.
>>98796158>>98796169i like the chaos warriors and the banner actually looks like it was fingerpainted with bloodalso when did they make new chaos warriors for faba
>>98796097Candy pink
>>98796045Beautiful scenario. Especially the roads, they look great. Speaking of roads, anyone knows where I can find instructions to make roman-themed scenary?
I've got some models I'm cleaning up, and they are like a soft kind of gummy plastic, idk what exactly. but they're kind of bad for sanding, and plastic cement doesn't really seem to effect it so I'm not sure how to go about this.
>>98796097You got another level of highlight on the hair coming yet, right?
>>98791741I just want to say I really like Vince Venturella's videos. It's like watching my dentist talk about airbrushing.
>>98795766For good reason, it is the opulent rich guy combo for people who couldn't afford purpur.>>98796031>almost didn't happenIt would be a shame if it stopped happening. Sending plastic junk to a random anon and getting a box of cookies laced with arsenic and cum in return is Unironically one of the few hilights of my year.
>>98796499to me watching someone else paint is like watching sports, id rather do sports myself than watch someone do iti just dont get the appeal
>>98796549>to me watching someone else paint is like watching sportsFor me, it's more like watching someone replace the power window mechanism on a Honda Pilot SUV. I already know how to do it - I learned by watching another step-by-step video - but maybe this guy will have some clever insight that I'd either overlooked or simply wasn't covered in the other video.
>>98796242siocast?
>>98796642It does seem to be.Seems the answer from searching is that there is just no good way to clean it up other than cutting off any egregious flashing with a sharp knife and no finer cleanup can be done.
>>98796331Yeah, I tried something that didn't look good so I'm gonna redo it.
>>98796031I honestly wish it will happen, it was genuinely fun thing to do. I might be stingy on what I buy to myself but I had no problem with buying stuff for someone else and was actually excited waiting to see, how would he react.I also hope that this year someone would want to try out building some Gunpla, since I have few kits I realised I won't have time to build and would happily send one to someone, as a bonus.
>>98796683Siocast is universally hated and it's a shame that Corvus Belli decided to use it for Warcrow. They made few TAGs and other heavier units for Infinity at some point but rather quickly switched to Unicool. But damage is done and O-Yoroi or Marut shall remain in this form for quite some time.
Is there any real technique or secret for drilling square holes in things other than a knife and patience? My intent is to drill a round hole in the front of the gun and then square it on the bottom so it looks like a big old muzzle brake, as well as reaming out the plastic in the little vent holes. The problem I'm running into is that my smallest drill bits aren't small enough to get into the side holes, and I don't really have a square drill bit to do the bottom of the arched muzzles.Forgive the picture I stole from the internet, it's just to demonstrate the issue with the fiddly geometry and tiny holes.
>>98796639granted that is pretty good way to put itpainting is something we can do on our own any time so why waste that time watching someone else paintbattle reports i understand because that is something everyone most likely gets to do only rarely
>>98796719only thing that comes to mind is filing a piece of wire to square and heating it to shape the holes if that makes any senseworks only with plastic though
>>98796719bruh you can't drill square holes no matter what shape the bit is. you drill out the middle and then square up the corners with some other tool. realistically though you wouldn't have a square hole on the end because the brake needs backpressure to work.
>>98796725The odd time I "watch" painting is while I am painting and it's just one of a hundred or more options for background noise.

Anything I should know before using isopropyl alcohol based paints?
>>98797140Yeah, quite a lot. Have you looked up any guides?
>>98797172Mostly safety stuff regarding ventilation, masks and how to clean brushes.More concerned with whether or not I need to thin them with isopropyl. I'm going to use the Vallejo Liquid Metal series, if that matters at all.

>>98797484Orktober Model #7 / Week 1 done. I've also been putting some base coats on some other Ork minis, but Gretchin were the thing I could mostly get finished in time to a standard. I've been trying out one new skin recipe this week. I've even been liking it without highlights (just army painter Muddy Clothes with glazed in green wash of Phthalo Green). The squad of Kommandos is what I'm most excited to showcase. It's an experiment with "Go Away Green" / "No see um Gray" that Disney is known for, albeit to my best imitation. I've also been digging this Warboss with a helmet made from a Defiler head. Painting him like a Freebooter might come off as not as cool, though.
>>98797387Do they need to be thinned right out of the pot?
>>98794661Wet pallettes are a meme for people living in temperate environments, when it's 0% humidity not wet pallettes will do much other than slightly slow drying timekind of why people that cared about painting used oils in history and not acrylics

I got a few of the dark angels heroes minis and was just looking on youtube about them and i found a video on the official warhammer germany channel about them https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdbNA-6IP2o but can not find what I assume is the original version on the main channel. is this like a german but in english exclusive or is the original video just private or something?

Trying my hand at a bit of conversion work on this fatty here. Turning him into a necromancer. There's three main things I need to do to make it work: replace him hammer with a staff of some sort, carve off and replace the comet icon on his belt, and cover up the purity seal on his backpack. For the staff I plan on using this bit from the Hexwraith kit to make something of a torch to act as his staff. I'm open to other suggestions since it feels a little too small to me. Do I need to drill deeper to make a better pinning connection or will is stay and go on straight as long as I line it up properly? I'll trim it shorter when I get a little further since it's very long right now.Any suggestion besides a skull to cover the purity seal? I already plan to add a skull or two hanging from the wheel on his back and I don't want to overdo it with the skulls in one area.For the belt, am I going to want to kill myself carving away at it with a knife? I have access to a dremel but I've never used it.

I'll be bummed if /ss/ doesn't happen this year but it's probably a ton of work so I get it. I've done it for many years now and I'm always excited to see what I get and try to be generous with what I give
>>98796031I was planning to join for the first time, I hope it doesn't go away :(
>>98796725I like to paint to a pretty high standard, which can be draining sometimes. Watching someone else paint on youtube is a good way to get that hobby fix without spending as much of my own time, effort or money. It's also fun to see people paint models you don't own, or see people approach a model with a method that's different to yours.
>>98796725I watch stuff to learn and steal techniques.
>>98798167The length of the staff looks fine, but I'd add some dangly bits to those loops on the end, a la picrel (but more evil looking ofc), maybe chains or skulls or something? And then the torch on top, of course. To cover the purity seal, I think it would be interesting to include something explicitly not-evil looking, like some flowers or something. It could provide some flavourful contrast from a tone and theming perspective.
>>98796499Vince is one of the good ones as far as I can tell. He retreads similar ground but the content is consistently good stuff.
>>98798556So, is this thread slowly dying out then?
>>98798939I feel we still have a decent number of regulars but 4chan is slowly bleeding out as a whole so we probably aren't spared
>>98798982Is it? Aging out I guess.
>>98799023Yeah 4chan doesn't really get that many new posters nowadays unfortunately and the old ones are leaving either because they're moving on with their lives or finally get sick of the shitposting
Reworked the shields of my breachers from a year and a half ago because back then I was just starting and didn't know how to shade anything.Iron Warriors are so cool.
>>98799309Good shit, anon. IW are indeed very cool.
>>98799309Slick
>>98798167for pinning make an smaller hole, 1mm is enough, and make it at least 5mm deep on each sideon a different model i would suggest to replace the whole pole with a brass tube, but the bottom half there is solid enough
>>98799023>>98799034is any forum/imageboard not dying nowadays? i don't think is just a 4chan thing
>>98797533come back when you live somewhere with 0% humity
>>98797701either dungeon synth playlists or long podcasts, mostly. Sometimes I might listen to an interview or a documentary but those are rare
>>98797701anything that is chill and helps me focus: lo-fi, ambient, vapor/synthwave, sometimes dreampop and shoegaze
>>98799472Sad times, delete social media.
>>98798152nothing in particular. just picked up some of the dark angels blind boxes super cheap at a thrift store and looked them up on youtube and was puzzled by the seemingly german in english exclusive gw video on them
>>98799607Interestingly enough, I noticed some sort of turn over from social media, a lot of groups gets slowly fed up with bullshit of Meta and move away, sometimes to make their own platform. Little specific case but at last anime con I ran into guys talking about making their own platform for cosplayers (and possibly for related photography as well) precisely because Instagram is a mess and their prototypeis very promising already, photogs themselves more openly talk about moving to other sites like Flickr. Sadly, there is another vector in form of Discord servers, which is much worse solution - closed ecosystems, prone for circlejerking and everything is lost once it closes.It's sad to see internet as a whole go from fragmented groups to larger consolidation and into isolation instead.
>>98799607>>98799646It will never get any better. Yes, social media is one of the primary causes, but the main reason for the old internet dying (and 4chan with it) is simply the influx of normalfags and all the cancer they bring - be it general stupidity or politics. You can't change or outrun that. You could go onion/darknet, but that would kill like 98% of the user base. Yes, all the normalfags, but even a lot of valuable, good posters. It's how you get 2 posts per day kind of thing. Isolation is the only way to kinda-sorta deal with this, and it will never emulate the early 2000s internet anyway.It's ogre. If you lived through the golden years, consider yourself lucky it happened.
I need to make couple of bases for my winter troops, lore-wise they operate on arctic planet so base will be almost entirety covered in snow. But the main question is - what kind of ground should I place under it? Blackish mud? I have several types of terrain pastes.
