Making good progress on my ghouls. You can see on the left one where I realised red was too strong for the irritated skin where the bone comes out so I mixed it with the skin tone for the others. Also slapped that pink that it made to knuckles, cheeks and stuff like that and it turned out pretty nice.
finished ethrac on the right today. Came out r nice IIDSSM.his brother otto was finished a few days ago and was also fun to do.
here they are on their younger brother, ghurk, in all their glory.I'm on break for a long time but I'm travelling 2 weeks from now and I don't think I'm going to bring my paints for the month I'll be seeing my family. I got 10 chaos cultists primed and ready for paint but I would only work on them to say that I finished my CSM combat patrol (like a symbolic thing). Batch painting doesnt sound fun right now so I might just do my harbinger of decay from the nurgle christmas box.
>>94765231Since the thread is so slow at the moment, here's another angle. I'm quite happy with how they look from above on the table. I've seen people paint the warhammer version of these ghouls where they paint the bones on the back as if they are entirely external like they are just wearing a ribcage on their back. To me I always figured they were supposed to be their own bones coming out of their skin though.
>>94765590>>94765611Been enjoying your progress on this one for a few threads now. Very nice. I can't imagine having the patience and organisational skills to paint something so big and detailed.
An anon a few threads back posted some guide on phone camera settings to get good photos. Anyone have that? I can't see it in the pastebin, and stupidly I thought nothing of it when he posted it but now I'm interested.
Been painting not-guardsmen all night. Not my best work, but they're the basic troops, so there isn't really a need to go all out.
>>94765816I think they still look good. Although chick on the left needs to close her visor because she's giving me the spooks.
>>94765820thanks for the kind words. For the supremely autistic, I'll post the recipe:>Primer: Army Painter Matt Black Spray, followed by painting the whole model in Vallejo Model Color Basalt Grey>Base Colors: Army Painter Abyssal Blue on pads and helmet, Army Painter Plate Mail Metal on weapon, Citadel Corvus Black on boots and backpack, Vallejo Model Color Flat Yellow on visor.>Shading: Citadel Drakenhof Nightshade on everything but weapons and visor, Nuln Oil on weapons, Seraphim Sepia on visor.
does anyone know of a oil based white ink that isnt the mig ammo one?
>>94765811check the OP mega too. I don't know if you want the one that aims to disable ai enhancements or a simple mini photography guide but I think both of those are there
> California fire> Can't spray prime or varnish because of ashesI guess this is a sign to invest in an airbrush
>>94765910Oh yep, it was the photographing on black one that I was thinking of. Thanks.
>>94765962might be a sign to move, anon. hope you're enjoying those eucalyptus trees we gifted you over a century ago
Finished.
>>94766266Fingerlicking so good.
>>94766266bueno
why was this used as the OP? I do not understand.
>>94766266cool conversion and great painting with the camo pattern too
>>94765611Really loving the colors on this, well done. >>94766266The little flower on the base matching the painted yellow line on the asphalt is such a nice touchPicrel is what I'm currently working on. First time painting electro balls, pretty happy with the result even if some of the lightning is a bit chunky. Gonna do decals next, then an oil wash and finally some weathering on the metals. Considering putting a little bit of blood on the tip of the drill but I'm not sure, what do you guys think?
>>94766482because it looks cool?
>>94766000>people actually finding my shitty guide useful I'm happy, also checked
I bought cannabis for the first time (legal here since last year) and will see if that makes painting more enjoyable/relaxing or anything or even if it makes me better/worse, will report back later.
>>94766266God tier camoflage.
>>94765590do you have a recipe for otto? Particularly:>Armor>Scythe>skin>bone helmetI have a bunch of unpainted MKON waiting in teh wings I've been hesitant to start.
>>94766726Soak it in bleach first, I hear it destroys bacteria and improves the high
>>94766788Come on bro, why do you want me to die, I didn't do anything. I'm one of you guys.
>>94766266gorgeous. those freehand camo shapes look super crispy.>>94766611I think your balls should be more blue.>>94766726My general advice for painting while high would be to take your time. I usually take a 5~10 minute break between steps because I get poo brain and then do something dumb without thinking.>>94766718Thanks! Here's a follow up from the last one, where I laid in the flesh with a peach. I put burnt umber & burnt sienna over them but they reactivated some of the blood red speed paint. Relatively happy with it regardless? Might do some little bloodier detailing and some tiny peach highlights
>>94766726Smoking and painting minis is very enjoyable as long as you don't overdo it. My wife and I usually share half a joint, paint for a few hours and then share the rest of the joint when we feel like taking a break.
I appear to have painted the ears a metallic colour. Surely this won't be an absolute pain in the ass to fix later on.
>>94766892>I think your balls should be more blueIs this a cum related joke or do you mean it literally, like a blue glaze or something?
>>94766913
>go to paint mini>drop mini for the fifth time>it's broken again>this time in a new place>glue mini, put in armature for glue to dry>go to sleep>the bit sagged overnightI'm about to throw this out I am so mad.>>94766913I meant it unironically. I think they should be more blue, with tiny tiny stark white lightnings. I dunno, I tend to over highlight everything and then wash it down and repeat that process ad nauseum until I get frustrated.
Fellas do you think this brush is good enough for stippling or should I trim the bristles a bit?
>>94765962We got more high winds today, stay safe friend.
>>94765793>>94765231Looking good, I like the red on the one guy for a little variation. That's the best part of little dudes like these, you can make them all slightly different and as long as you have some sort of unifying color (base skin tone here) it'll all look like it belongs together once done.
>>94766726Best way to do chaos trim unironically.>little bit of the creature, not too much >coffee>good background music>get into the zone
>>94765962Use the ashes of your former home to base some miniatures.
>>94766940>drop mini for the fifth timeYou might wanna look into why that keeps happening.
>>94766750>armorarmor is incubi darkness with black wash in the cracks and holes. the highlights were either VMC splinter or sybarite green mixed with the incubi darkness more and more as the highlight get's finer. >skinthe skin is contrast medium and guilliman flesh mixed about 50/50 over a corax white basecoat. you can drybrush it with an offwhite or glaze of layer over it as you wish. I just did some glazing/layering over the guilliman flesh/contrast medium coat with a deepkin flesh/bugman's glow mix. I like to add more of the lighter color as my highlights get lighter whch is what I did for the skin. I use a LOT of berzerker bloodshade for nurgle guys. it's a bloody dark red wash, whereas carroburg crimson is more magenta. carroburg crimson was used for the intestine hose, as well as for many folds and crevices in his fat since it looks more like bruising and meshes better with bugman's glow so the transitions are smoother.berzerker bloodshade was used on all the boils and pieces of exposed flesh. because it is more red, it fits better with the boil colors. the boils are just VMC fiery orange with bloodshade over it, then mix the orange with yellow and dot the washed boil, then do a final dot on top of that with ice yellow or pure yellow or offwhite, etc to look like it's ready to pop. >>94765798thanks. The big guy was sitting half basecoated for like 6 months on my shelf until I finally sucked it up and finished him. once I made it over the hump of doing the horns and getting all the colors down, it all just snowballed and I finished his brothers in just a few days.>>94766611thank you thank you
>>94766750>>94766750>>94766750>>94767088cont.>scythep easy. The shaft is Vallejo model color leather brown (in the old bottle with the white cap) but any dark brown color like dryad bark will work. a little bit of strong tone all over then drybrushed skrag brown. rope is just an offwhite color with sepia, then a little strong tone, then offwhite highlight. the blade is Vallejo metal color dark aluminum with streaking grime, clean off the grime with thinner after 24 hours then I did a tiny highlight on the top edge with runefang steel.>bone helmetIt's literally skeleton horde over a warm offwhite.I went back with strong tone and shaded the cracks towards the bottom where the horns meet cause skeleton horde made the shadows too yellow-brown and not dark enough. The 3rd edition nurgle battletome has some nice guides. Pic rel is some snippets from another guide but I forgot where I got it from. Maybe the 2nd edition tome. here is the 3rd edition Nurgle tome download link. It has some instructions not seen here for daemon skin, weapons, and mortals on page 56https://gofile.io/d/ZdrBrv
>>94760475
Gonna keep these super simple i think, black fatigues and green armor/weapons. will do some weathering on them though
>>94767387These are smooth
>finally work up the will to start painting the minis that have been sitting on my shelf for years>buy primer, paint, and glue>hype myself up and get into the mindset>prime up a bunch of minis and go to start painting them>forgot to blow the 2 years of dust and cat hair off them before priming
>>94767408post pics. what type of primer? how many did you prime?
>>94767364Yeah that fucks.
>>94767408How do you forget something like that? You need to stop drinking from plastic bottles.
>>94767393Thanks, these are super relaxing to paint compared to the other minis i did recently
>>94767408When I came back to the hobby 2 years ago I forgot you're supposed to do short bursts when using a rattlecan. I just pushed the thingy on top and sprayed so much it pretty much clogged all detail. Lesson learned though, dunk these guys in IPA, strip and reprime. At least you didn't put any actual effort into them yet, so that's something
>>94767543I live in an area that is too humid for half the year and too cold the other half. Needing to use a rattlecan / airbrush is a gigantic psyop by Big Rattlecan. I brush prime all my minis with random junk paint that is usually 50% water and I carry my minis around in my pockets when I'm going to the LGS. Nothing chips.
>>94767653how many and how big pockets you have
>wanted to buy only like 1 or 2 of those twin goddess minis>ended up buying 3 of those and 4 others including one in 72mm scale
>>94767786>twin goddesselaborate
>>94767786Same. They're pretty tough to paint at larger scales to be honest. Good practice for smooth coats and painting actual details though.
>>94767832It's a guy that makes those pretty cute sculpts. His gobling were posted here a couple times. Very cute.>>94767955Oh the big mini is not from him though, it's picrel. I had to stop myself from getting even more. I can kinda see why people get into 3d printing now
How thin is thin enough?
>>94768157Till it smooths out on it's own, and no more.
>>94768157Applies smoothly but isn't runny
>>94768157When it won't add texture and topography to a smooth surface (a far easier thing to spot than clogging up and hiding detail), and when it'll flow properly so it'll goes where you want it instead of clinging to wherever it currently is even as the brush tries to get it somewhere else.
Duelist I finished. Always love how washes look particularly on parchment and burlap-y cream colored things. Adds so much depth.I like the black and yellow, but I think I might have a bit too much yellow in my warband, considering changing the undershirt to red.
>>94768204The wash may have served you well on the bedroll, but it's not such a success story on the yellow. That one should be done manually.
>>94768157when its cum-y
>>94768217sounds scary.
>>94768218so yellowish and little nuggets in it?
>>94768231texturally cum-y>yellowishyou should get that checked out anon.
>>94768231>yellowish and little nuggets in itanon that's not right
Phobos specialists assembledNot sure if I want to give them nades on their pecks or on their butt flaps or just be done with themNow to rip into this assault marine sprue and kitbash some reivers
>>94768352I'm usually not big on those new marines but this slim armor looks pretty cool
>>94768352Who's leaving their damned empty fruit juice packets all over the battlefield of the 42nd millenium?
>>94765071What do you think of my Nighthaunt army so far?
>>94767010You could always test it out on a junk sprue to see if it's to your liking.>>94768157The skin trickhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5cbjPo1bs0o
>>94768217yellow looks pretty fine to me, but could use edge highlighting.
>>94768393they are uncomfortable to look at
>>94768360I kinda like them, feel like a nice balance between notmarines and trying something new. Also feels more conducive to custom themes instead of just following chaptersAfter consulting the paint scheme inspiration I'm giving them nipple nades and filling up the back with something else>>94768390https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-SesasYdKVI
>>94765962>light coming in one window is normal>light coming in window on other side of the house is dark orange tinted
So I finally decided to take the dive and get some miniatures. I may have gone a bit in the deep end choosing a chaos marine army, but out of everything I just think the World Eaters look the coolest. Still in the box, store had a decent deal on the WE combat patrol but the tools and paints seemed a bit on the pricy side compared to other places. Is there a best glue to use for putting these thing together? I have some gorilla glue but I don't want to use anything that would damage the models.
I recently picked up a bag of these horns that I wanted to use for a kit bashing project because they are the perfect size and shape I need but they are covered in this awful felt.Any ideas how I can strip it off? I have like 30 of them so I'm willing to experiment.
>>94769038There is plastic glue and super glue.Plastic glue melts the plastic parts together and creates a more powerful bond, superglue can be "forgiving" because if you fuck up you can break it apart. I also mention superglue because you need to use it for resin miniatures, which your models are not but if you expand into other companies or Forgeworld many are resin so PLASTIC glue doesn't work.Don't buy GW's glue, you can get cheaper from a local craft store or online.
>>94769038Welcome to the hobby. Use plastic glue (tamiya extra thin is popular) for plastic models and super glue for resin and for basing. I would suggest picking up something like this reaper beginners kit (this was the kit I useds) it comes with everything you need, including very decent instructions, to paint your first mini. The paints are trash, the models it comes with are not very good, and the brush is cheap, but what it does is teach you some really good fundamentals with very low pressure so you can fuck up before you start on something you actually want to paint.Bare Bones Learn to Paint Kit: Basic Techniques https://a.co/d/9BT8yq7
>>94765816>>94765820yeah the edge of her face needs a dark line to separate her from the helmet. she looks like she is fused to the suit right now.
>>94769101>Use plastic glue (tamiya extra thin is popular) for plastic models and super glue for resin and for basingI'd maybe add PVA glue to that?
>>94769038The gorilla glue - if it's the clear superglue in the small bottles, is fine. If it's the brown expanding foam stuff that is not a good option.
I'm paralyzed by indecision on how I want to base these Ultramoderns. I plan on making all kinds of terrain for them to play on and it'll trigger me when I play on some urban industrial table but all my minis are based on the sands of the Middle East or something. I should've went with clear acrylic bases. Any suggestions on generic basing methods that kinda mesh with various types of terrain?
>>94769038Plastic cement (Tamiya extra thin is pretty nice) is good not only because it weld but it also cleans up, so if you were scraping away mold lines and it came out dirty the cement will tidy it up. Like anon said superglue does have the advantage of being more undo-able but for monopose minis that doesn't matter as much which I end up preferring because I really hated working with superglue and it's usually just the torso and legs that are monoposeLook around for some nearby hobby or game stores, they'll all have different deals on paint and tools and maybe even minis. If you're doing chaos marines you'll be stuck doing a LOT of armor trims so I'd suggest getting some decent brushes that handle paint really well, I got these red sable brushes for 6 bucks that feel really nice even if they don't do fine tips at all. If you're scared of messing up your first minis you can get something like >>94769101 (if I could go back I wouldn't waste money on painting starter sets that I won't use most of though) or find your nearest GW store for the free minis they give to new people; they'll give you a free stormcast/space marine and the mini of the month if you ask.Check the videos in the OP and maybe a few other fundamentals videos and get/make a wet palette because it's a world of difference as I relearned when I was too lazy to set one up while trying to paint bases
>>94769040Freshly grown antlers are covered in velvet.Embrace this nature fact and incorporate it into your mini.
>>94769038People recommending tamiya extra thin plastic cement is great, if you can't find tamiya Mr. Hobby plastic cement is another great brand.
Still looking for some advice on painting models with latex body suits (i.e, assassinorum, inquisitors, ect.). Should highlights be blue instead of white? Should I do a layer of dark blue and then a black contrast up top? Not looking to invent the wheel but would be happy for some inspiration. (Pic is still being cleaned up, gaps filled, ect. Just wanted a pose for priming).
Do you really need steel agitator balls in your paints if youre using a vortex mixer?And if anon knows, could you recommend whatever vortex mixer works really well that you use? I know you can use vibrators, power tools etc... but I want something I can sit on my desk. I just got all my paints out of storage and theyre clumped as fuck.
>>94769791>Still looking for some advice on painting models with latex body suitsSorry I only use brushes.
>>94769815
>>94769791Depends on what you want the material to read as. If you want black latex you can do highlights of grey, blue, purple, even a dark green. Big thing will be to make the highlights stark in places to sell the reflective nature of latex with really deep shadows. As for process the best bet would be to take a test mini and see which works best, "manual" vs contrast to see which you prefer.
>>94769791as long as your surface is glossy it will read as latex. And dont use pure white unless you will glaze something over itt. Druchii enjoyer
>>94769791As someone who has never done that before I'd just do the contrast route and gloss it
>>94767071I know someone who's house was torched. The ashes of his collection are floating somewhere.
Repost progress>>94767044I second this
it's unreal how much of a gamechanger ultrasonic cleaners are when dealing with large resin models
>>94766726i use THC oil to help me sleep, and sometimes ill take it 1 hour or so before going to bed. it does make painting more enjoyable until it completely kicks in, then i feel fucked beyond belief and cant do shit, so its working as indented
>>94769808I use this one and it's ok.
>>94767019Thanks anon, yeah I think you're right. A bit of difference is nice since they are all going to have a dark purple theme.
How do hide the gaps on my push fit nid models while painting them?
>>94770604How big is that hole? I've been training my nipples recently and that might feel nice.
>>94765793I like the cut of your jib, mister.
>>94770440How so? It isn't hard to clean them by hand
>>94768231drink more water, anon
>>94770678i'm building a titan sized model and instead of scrubbing everything manually for hours i can have the whole thing done in 20 minutes while i do other thingsit's like going from a washboard to a washing machine
New to painting and mini photography, but what feedback can I get on this fella?
>>94770865
>>947677022. Large. In my hoodie. I could show example if u want. I had _a day_ at work, so 'scuse the lack of me commenting on stuff. My brain isn't working at all. I did a thing though.
>>94770865>>94770875I like the base material, not just the boring everyone does tiny grains of sand, but nice sized rocks, but not being able to see its feet is a little weird. good job with the clean edges. Color seems a bit stark, might add a wash personally to mellow the colors out so il looks less shiny.DId a real good job on the fur lining specifically.
Building some chainsword marine bodiesDoes anyone know how the hell this holstered chainsword is supposed to fit on without just brute forcing it somewhere
>>94767653Nah
>>94770922Thanks Anon! I appreciate it.The base material is one of the Geek Gaming Scenics base lines. I wanted my Vikings to look like they were standing on the beach at Lindisfarne. I went a bit overboard with the glue and dunking, though. What kind of wash do you suggest? I've been using agrax earthshade on clothing and nuln oil on armor. I've been going light, though, since the first batch I did turned out looking muddy.
>>94766897>>94766726I usually only do one hit of my pen and put some music on. Can paint for hours and not even realize it. I also have this anxiety about fucking up a mini when it starts to get to a good point where technique starts to show and helps me not give a fuck and have more fun. That said I only ever smoke when it's painting time.
ughuhguughjjmaybe it'll change colour overnight? goodnight frens
>>94769834>>94769902>>94769934Gloss sounds like the way to go, I'll try some contrast tests to see if i can get rhe shading to do itself. I use 'and coat for lenses, gems, ect. Think that would work or should I go buy an actual Gloss? Still novice on alot of this.>>94769815Oh you.
does anybody do good wolf puppy minis? I want some snotlings and little wolfs running around my Gitmob stuff
What do you think of using decals when trying to replicate complex camo patterns?
>>94771325Hard enough on a slightly curved surface, if you're trying to do any kind of complex shapes you'll have a bad time.
>>94766611I love how you recognize how the skin is fucked up in places and paint it appropriately.>>94765231The skin looks so smooth, neat>>94766902Cool model, 3D print or ..?
>>94770404Love the color contrast, very sharp highlights.
How do you store your tools and paintings? Do you have a box or something?
>>94771454Yeah. Random boxes. I have a cabinet I keep most of my minis in, some are on shelves or the table. A lot of my tools just live on my workspace.OCD is not one of my flaws.
>>94771379>The skin looks so smooth, neatThank you thank you. I hid the bad spots. It was a a bit of trial and error. When I was highlighting the transitions looked too blocky. When I started to run out of paint on my brush it looked perfect, so I just started removing most of the paint on the brush and slowing down which basically just ended up being glazing I guess. Hard transitions on models trigger me hard. I think I'll need to go back and darken some of the shadows on those though, but I think the skin is good enough to move on.
>>94771379>I love how you recognize how the skin is fucked up in places and paint it appropriatelyYou mean the bruised pink skin around the cyborg parts? If so, I'm glad u like it anon ty>>94766940You were right blue balls anon, I think this looks sharper now. Thx for the tip
>>94771495[Spoiler]yes the quad balls holder on the gun is crooked, I'm painfully aware[/spoiler]
>>94766902love how meaty those wings look, also yes fix those ears
hello fellow WIPpers.I have recently bought my own place and moved.unfortunately this place of mine is much smaller than the one I was renting before and I will no longer have a dedicated hobby room. I'm also in the situation of having to paint mostly in the evening with no natural light available.I'm this looking for a lighting solution that is:-cheap -easily set up and put away-easy to maintain/repair if neededI was thinking a couple of desk lamps clipped on either side of the painting space with an appropriate bulb.any suggestions? also what bulbs should I be looking for in terms of light colour and power?
>>94771339you get two bottles of this, empty them into a glass, then dip your whole model
>>94771776forgot pic
>>94771725Sewing lamp or a couple of ikea adjustable arm la.ps with 5500k bulbs.
>>94771818Now I'm not a clever man but I think that sounds like a bad time.
>>94771725>any suggestions? also what bulbs should I be looking for in terms of light colour and power?Vinnie V. Recommends a clamp-on, adjustable light with a "daylight balanced" bulb(timestamped):https://youtu.be/NoPjDBF-afI?feature=shared&t=859
>>94771725I own this pix related Honeywell lamp, which I use because I’m often in hotels. It folds up flat which is nice and has adjustable color temperature, brightness is adjustable and I’d say worth the $30. I got it off amazon.
>saw this dude on clearance for $1I don't usually do "throwaway" projects, as it were, but this one was a lot of fun, even if a bit unseasonable. If you're like me and tend to take things too seriously, or get preoccupied with where what you're doing stands in some sort of grand plan, maybe go down to the shop and buy some cheap shit to paint for the fuck of it. You might just have a good time.
>>94772619You're the guy that did the beholder, right?
>>94772663Naw, I usually paint deathguard and sometimes ultramarines. Flattered you'd ask tho cause that dude definitely paints better than me lol
>>94771725I got one of these for cheap on amazon and it's worked well, the length and adjustability of it allows it to light most angles of the mini you'll be looking at it from, and it has adjustable brightness and colour. It's even sturdy enough to attach my phone to with rubber bands when I want to record building
>>94772716oh yeah, it's called a "BIENSER LED swing arm desk lamp" but I wouldn't be surprised if it's some drop shipped shit you can find under different names from multiple sellers
>>94772691Damn, thought I could tell from the eyes. You did cool eyes like he did.
Just pinned a model for the first timeDidn't think it'd take this long but at least it feels rock solid now
