Took Anon's advice and did an Agrax/nuln stipple but that just darkened the armor so I added a copper stipple and this is about as good as I'm gonna get it I think.

>>94442469
Yeah that's what I'm gonna do I guess
>>94442496
Oh no worries I've painted gold before I more or less know how to shade it. I like your Dante btw

>>94442459
the metallic effect comes from mica or aluminium flakes. The paint will have a pigment or dye in it to give the specific metallic color, but in order for the flakes to remain reflective and therefore look metallic it has to be transparent.
So the color you paint under your metallic paints will shine through.
Makes a huge difference.

The finish on the coat below is also a big factor. Applying metallic paints over glossy bases will make them more shiny, because the surface for the flakes to level on is more even.

Looks great anon, that agrax nuln isn't really meant to do anything other than take off the flat sheen that you get from pure metallics. Works very well with that bronzish look you have there.
Personally I think it looks great now, compared to your previous image it has a lot more depth.

I often use Vallejo Metal Color line but their gold and copper have issues with being too runny and gold being more like silver-gold. At the other hand, their new Game Color gold and copper both behave oddly and easily separate. Any suggestions for better options for these two?

OH anon your package is in the mail.

Is there a good superglue alternative for resin that isn't as "fuck you" as regular superglue?

>>94443275
In what way is the super glue being like 'fuck you'?
Sometimes I use two part epoxy for resin, but I doubt that's what you mean.

>>94443291
Really unforgiving and annoying
Like if you don't set the pieces correctly immediately but the superglue's already activated or when I get some in a push fit peg and it activates midway and I have to cut the whole thing off
Or when it sticks to my hands and glues pieces of my gloves to the model if I'm using them

>>94443275
for plastic, use thin/thicc cement
for resin, use superglue with applicator bottle
for big boy resin, use epoxy

>>94443312
i dont mean to be rude but all those sounds like user error, yes its not as forgiving as plastic cement or pva but still

first you can solve with activator, second by actually planning where you put your glue, and third by not using gloves and using ca gel instead of the regular runny version

remember superglue sets faster the thinner its spread, thats why a good fit set its instantly like the peg you talk about

>>94443660
>sounds like user error
I know and I know what not to do now but it's just annoying
I'll check out activator in case I mess up again

>>94443690
if you get an activator with a sprayer dont actually use the sprayer, get a tootpick or dropper and just place drops on top of the glue
if you mist it it will get everwyhere and you will fuck the glue in the bottle too

I was thinking of giving this guy fleshy shoulderpads, but there's already so much trim and tubes on him that now I'm thinking there won't be enough black left on him if I do so, any thoughts?

>>94444628
Ass.

>>94443275
I used zap-a-gap which felt more forgiving than say Kra-Z Glue or Gorilla Glue.

>>94444735
I think it'd work fine. It's at a good balance point where there are enough fleshy bits across the model for them not to look out of place, but not so many that it'd end up overpowering the black. It'd still read nicely as black + gold armour just w/ fleshy accents, I think
At a push, you could just do the left (from the model's POV) one fleshy, since that one has that gnarly sculpted surface, while keeping the right one as regular black armour

>>94444688

To the Anon I sent this package to last year;

>J H in Ledyard,

I just wanted to inform you that I had to move down the road. I only mention this because you had stated your intention to send a return gift this year. I'm not expecting you to by any means (please do not feel obligated), but I wanted to be sure to let you know not to send it to the original return address if you did intend on sending me something. I hope your year has been a good one! I'm not participating in the exchange this year, but hopefully if you are someone will one-up what I sent last season.

p.s. If, by any chance, you have already sent something my way then I will make arrangements to pick it up from my previous address.

Got the first basecoat colors down on this sentinel I'm painting as a Christmas present for a friend.

The red is Pro Acryl Bold Pyyrole Red over a couple of thin layers of Citadel Corax White, I think it turned out really nice and vivid. Corax White is actually amazing to work with.

I plan to keep some of the inner machinery black, with metallics where appropriate, but I want the "casing" on the legs to be blue. This was old Vallejo Game Color Night Blue over black and while it looks fine under a bright light, it just looks like black in regular light. I don't want a vivid blue here, like Pro Acryl Blue, I think a more subdued one like Citadel Kantor Blue would be best. I want the red to really pop.

I reposed the model into more of a dynamic pose, trimming bits. I added on some roped skulls hanging on the left side.. The head of the pilot is positioned so that it looks directly at the "viewer" of the model and will not be obstructed by the rollcage bars.

I plan to make the base with a jungle theme, I'll try to have a stream of water running through the middle, have vines hanging off the sunken tank barrel.

I really like this 2022 Sentinel kit. There's a fair bit of optional gubbins, it comes with six(!) possible main weapons, a lot of the extra armor or panels can be left off. The pilot has 4 heads with a fairly detailed interior. The unseen leather pillowing on the pilot chair has little crinkles and folds sculpted in.

No prize for guessing what Imperial Guard regiment this is supposed to belong to.

How can I get a smoother texture on my mini? My current theory is that I'm over-thinning my paint with water, turning it into a wash, and coating it on too quickly without letting it dry fully, which end up ripping the first coat of paint.

>>94446385
Story behind it: Had my bachelor party two weeks ago and the first part of the day was to visit the local Warhammer store and speedpaint miniatures in two hours. Even the dudes who never painted a miniature in their whole life took part and it was my job to create a small diorama with the figures painted on that day. Decided to go with small tavern diorama with lots of beer and food.

>>94445934

>>94446470
Anus of the internet would be okay. Old /b/ was like that. The problem with reddit is that all the turds there think way too highly about themselves, while in reality, there is no greater concentration of midwits around the internet.

I wish shipping fees for paints weren't so bad, I pretty much always need to plan big bulk orders of paints to make the shipping fees worth it so if I'm just missing 1 or 2 colors I'm kinda fucked

>>94446509

>>94446546
My nearest hobby store is in another country so yeah

I am planning to try myself at diy terrain from cardboard, styrofoam packaging, anything trash I can find, but one thing occurred to me.
I should buy some shitty paint for it, right? Using the same as for minis sounds bit of a waste.

>>94446599
Yes. The cheapest brand of craft paint from an art store will work fine for terrain

what are the best red, green and blue inks I can get to start playing with them? I saw some beautiful stuff a guy had done at the local warhammer store but never got to talk to him that day. I'm looking at Blick and I have no idea what to get.

I was thinking of getting some fishing lure paints and the stencils for doing up lizardmen and such, since theyre vibrant.
>>94443841

In the states, you can also find craft paint at big brand stores like Wal-mart, some hardware stores (house paint isn't a bad option for colors you'll need a LOT of), and even some grocery stores, dollar stores, and pharmacies.

I've airbrushed liquitex and that dayler rowney brand, both are fine. I've also heard good things about golden high flow, transparent highly pigmented acrylics that are like inks but havent worked with them before. One thing I will say for inks is that if you want to paint on top of airbrushed ink layers you'll need to seal them with varnish. The ink layers are super smooth and delicate, a brush can easily be enough to rub some ink away.

>>94447342
Gentle sanding to ease the print lines, prime it grey or black, drybrush a light grey then white to catch details, shade and blend it all together with an oil wash. Can do a couple different colors of wash, leave some pools of a darker green in some spots and blotchy dark brown or black on others. If there are going to be some lines make it work for you by creating variation yourself.
