kinda inspired by medieval 2 crossbowmen who had shields on their back. Like how its turning out so far, like the silhouette.
>>94784621forgot about austrailan photo regulations again.
>>94784629Nice. I like it.
First Malifaux figure painted.I tried blending some stuff on the coat and scales to varying degrees of success. Made me realize that the reason people buy so many paints instead of blending is because it's such a pain in the ass.I continue to have my love/hate relationship with these models. This guy has alot of cool details, but the anchor on his hat is super small and I keep noticing the botch glue job I did on the legs. Definitely going to look into pinning if I do anymore malifaux figs in the future, I already have a hobby drill lying around.Also stripping a bunch of old figs in the background. It's a huge pain to do, so I'm gonna end up getting a ultrasonic cleaner because I have about a hundred more figs to strip + bits and a lead on some Eldar I might be able to nab.
>>94784675This thread is cursed.
What should I paint for golden demon?
>>94784709What dies that mean?A demon model I guess, then get golden paint?
my cat keeps trying to drink the paint waterwhy is he doing this when he has a water fountain I cleaned recently with continuously filtered water>>94784700>>94784621crop your photo before posting even by the smallest bit and it will always be the right way up
>>94784789>why is he doing this when he has a water fountain I cleaned recently with continuously filtered waterIs it next to his food bowl? Apparently cats don't like drinking water near their food source. Some evolutionary thing about not polluting their water source.Also paint water yummy so I understand.
>>94784997no I have them spaced apartI think he is curious about what I am doing
>>94784789>my cat keeps trying to drink the paint watersaaaame i have three glasses (filthy water, clean water and one for metallics) and both cats keep trying to drink from the filthy one dunno whythey are fucking retarded
>>94784789>crop your photoI know, I just forgot.
>>94784709Look up which models are underperforming sales wise. You can paint it with a used house paint roller and GW will give you the Demon because it puts the model in front of the consoooomers.
What do people use guitar strings for
>>94785176playing guitar
>>94785187can't argue with that
Been working on another tree today
>>94785176>What do people use guitar strings forIf you can keep them tightly wound, they make decent power cables and mecha-dendrites.
coming along nicely, i think the gold on the axe could be much better
>>94785176Good for pinning too if you can drill very fine holes. I broke a hand off a metal model once and managed to drill into both the wrist and hand and only a .10 gauge string fit the holes.
How do I get ultra thin brushes to actually paint? I imagine its paint consistency issue, but basically my super thin brush fails to actually leave paint on the model unless I pick up way too much of it, which just makes a blotch. I'm afraid to make too thin paint as it will seep up to the root of the bristles and fuck it up.
>>94785459you don't need a thin brush, you need a sharp one. the tip is what really matters. if you try to use a super thin/tiny brush it doesn't have enough belly to hold any appreciable amount of paint, which is why you're having a hard time transferring it onto the mini.
>>94785459It's drying on the brush.
>>94785459Those ultra thin brushes are a scam. You need a brush with a big belly and a thin point or it just dries on the brush instantly. Then you flood the brush with paint and it pools onto the model.
>>94784789If I were you I'd be drinking the paint water as well.
How do I attach a small sword to a minis hip, there is not a lot of contact area between them so the plastic glue is not working. Do I just use super glue?
>>94785516>>94785578You guys are falling into the midwit part of the curve. Small brushes do have utility and can be useful for certain small details where larger bellied brushes would risk getting paint on adjacent edges.I guess David Perryman just paints with this brush because he doesn't know what he's doing? Meanwhile all you hear if people recommend W&N S7 is >DON'T GET THE MINIATURE ONES! THEY'RE A SCAM!Take care of your brushes and it's fine, and there is utility to small brushes some of the time.>>94785532This is probably correct. But there are too many reasons it might be happening to give a straightforward answer, and yes a brush with a bigger belly can be one of them. So can humidity, or if you have a fan on, or which paints you're using (i.e. white)>>94785459My fix for when I'm trying to get the paint to flow off a brush and the very fine tip is drying (usually painting the dot of white glint on an eye, despite a normal bellied brush), is take a damp brush and run it over the part you're painting, not enough for any real water to be on the part, but to have a minuscule film of water that isn't really 'wet' and won't flow anywhere but just enough to give it a sheen, then quickly paint your tiny detail, the damp surface will bridge the surface tension and paint will flow off the brush without spreading out (as long as there's not too much water on the piece) - that reminds me, flow improver can also help (or a minuscule amount of dish soap) to break the surface tension if it's that that's keeping it on the brush and not the tip drying.
>>94785681you could gently shave some of one of the surfaces so that there is more contact, or make a little connecty bitty out of greenstuff?... Or just use super glue, yes.
>>94785681Tiny ball of greenstuff between the piece and the model. Or sprue goo if you have it to increase the contact area.
>>94785696>>94785697Thank you
>>94785688>You guys are falling into the midwit part of the curveHow about you eat my whole asshole, retard.
>>94785750
Just finished kithashing some miniatures for a dnd campaign I'm in where the PCs turn into items and buff the party if the real life player can't make it.
>>94785941Elaborate Please
How do I know if my primer has chemically bonded to my mini? I read that you don't want to paint on unbonded primer.
>>94785991...it'll be dry instead of wet
>>94785991I know you're bored because the thread is slow rn, but I see what you're doing and I'm only going to schizopost at people talking about primer in good faith.
>>94785688>Small brushes do have utility and can be useful for certain small details where larger bellied brushes would risk getting paint on adjacent edges.>small thing fits in smaller spacebold of you to call me a midwit when you're taking such a flagrantly obvious thing and trying to dress it as some sort of insight.
>>94786039T-that's literally how the meme works...?>smaller brush is smaller>nooooo! small brushes don't hold liquid properly! etc. etc. You need a big brush with a big belly, all that matters is the tip sharpness!>smaller brush is smaller
>>94785975The idea is that our characters are actually magic items that morph into our physical forms. If someone can't make it to the session, there character returns to there item form and can be picked up and used by someone else in the party. The items buff the player pretty substantially like being able to fly or making 18-20 critical rolls.It's kind of an experiment the DM is doing to figure out a way to not have the campaign come to a screeching halt if someone can't make it. I do all the painting because I have a little bit of talent
>>94786053I honestly have no idea what the you're talking about, but if I have to caveat my advocacy for big belly brushes with "unless its too large to fit where you want to paint" the reader is beyond help anyway.
>>94764649>I just love these little dudes. Cant wait to fly them straight into my friends flame throwers.What models are these?
Building a 3x3 table for trench crusade
>>94786203Interesting map! Looking symmetrical enough, if that's what you want. Any reason you're not trying to make it more modular? I've been hesitant to start with terrain for this game- my current plan is to just paint minis to sell.Got any d00dz to show off?

>>94786375>No step 3Anon has died from inhaling fumes
>>94786391Based Asian Moot.
>>94786396I would prime by hand but they're spackle bases and I think the thinning medium would melt the base texture if I don't seal it in with primer.Also, what's a good way to deal with glue fumes? They are also becoming an issue in these cold months
Not a mini, but a wip (pls don't send me to the /smg/ gulag).Neat story with this one is that the squadron commander's wife was found out to be Jewish. Upon hearing this Goering stripped them of their prestigious "Pik Ass" (ace of spades) emblem and ordered all their planes have a red ring painted onto their white cowling (which in effect looked pink). In protest the pilots/squadron support staff stripped the vehicles of the swastikas (I still need to paint in a crude "coverup" on the tail section where the swastika would have been).
>>94786455>glue fumes?I use tamiya super thin for 99%, it's capillary action allows for such minute amount to be used, because the paint actually goes where it needs to be. Never had any issues with glue fumes.
>>94786492I use the gorilla glue gel and when I get to the end of a pot I have to start getting it out with a dowel and slathering it instead of just squeezing which means that the volume of application gets somewhat larger so over a few hours of assembly it kind of adds up and I don't notice how dizzy I am until I step away.
>>94786391Let's see.
>>94786527>gorilla glue gel>don't notice how dizzy I am until I step away.any chance you're getting dizzy from shortness of breath? prolonged exposure to CA glue can result in an acquired allergy that causes you to have an asthmatic response to the fumes
>>94787082I'll pay closer attention the next time I need to glue 20 miniatures to their bases in an hour.
>>94786314I ordered proxies off Etsy they havent arrived yet i'm just excitedIm not doing a modular board because its simpler mostly
>>94784789When my cat discovered the paint water he pushed it off the table.
>>94787290awww, kitty
>>94786527>>94787082Superglue fumes hurt my eyes.I wonder if we've been doing it wrong this whole time, wearing PPE for spray paint and airbrush but just braving the superglue fumes.
Update on shading with turbodorkWent over with a wash then highlighted with silver and hit it with another thin coat of turbodork
>>94784789>>94787290My cat snagged a plush Gryph-hound when my back was turned. Next time, I filmed him making off with it as I pretended not to notice.
>>94787299He's a good kitty. That's the only time he knocked anything in my workstation over, although he sleeps in the chair sometimes.>>94787358Clean getaway lmao.
>>94787358Anyone who says cats don't think should see those problem solving skills at :31.
A little messy but nothing too terrible. Yellow contrasts are a lifesaver
>>94787591>wash over skinI used to live in that hell. Learn to layer up mixing dark red and the skin tone of your choice, starting with just the red and mixing in more and more of the skin tone. Actual eye opening experience at how easy it is and how much better the result is. I just got tired of those pools like the one you have on the knee.Sick colour scheme though. Love the Jade armour.
>>94787656I've been learning to do that on a bigger model recently, but not sure I really want to invest the time to do it on a whole bunch of smaller scale stuff just yet. Trying to get this and another team done for my two leagues starting up in a month or so.
I'm reorganizing and jeez I have way too much hobby shit.
>>94787713bought too many paints? I feel that.
>>94787241what if you just didn't glue the top bits to the bottom bits?>>94787314this looks like you used a green metallic paint... nyumm?>>94787672>bigger modelSure are.
>>94784370What would be a good contrast/speed paint to shade silver?Like how you're able to put skeleton horde over silver or steel and get a great preshadwd gold?
>>94787672UNGH you're the thicc poster. Yeah carry on then, you've earned the right to do whatever you want.
>>94787082>>94787169>>94787312There is odourless superglues with very little fumes. Having an allergy against CA glue fumes myself, this is the only type I can use when working with resin or similar material and if I don't want to feel miserable the following 2 days.
>>94787831I bought 3 racks the other day to finally start setting up a nice desk area. Before it was all just paints in a plastic container I'd fish stuff out of and leave out all the time, and I had to buy another 2 immediately after starting to stock them, and even that's barely enough. Might not be enough even.
>>94784700You're calling that finished? Well I guess you did your best
Test models done. I'm now going to paint the rest of the army. I just want this shit painted after 3 years of procrastinating.
>>94788372
>>94788377
>>94788379
>>94788293>You're calling that finished? Well I guess you did your bestPlease understand, this is my third mini. What else are you suggesting I do to it?
Tell me, lads- am I nuts, or do Orks need waaay more work cleaning moldlines than everything else? Not just the old kits, either.
>>94788419I can't speak to orks specifically, but any organics kits just seem to be like that. Kits with lots of hard edges can more easily hide them along straight edges, but any undulating organic surface is a pain compared to something like a space marine.
>>94788293Got some real smug fuckers in the threads recently. Cool mini you posted while putting that other anon down, cunt.
What's the best spray primerScale75? colour forge? AK? AP? Vallejo?
>>94788587Color forge, pro acryl, rustoleum
>>94788587mr. surfacer 1500
>>94788432Yeah, sounds about right. Think it's a mix of that and just the size of the parts- besides just being bigger than other humaoids, more of the limbs and etc are single solid pieces.
>>94788419Yeah orks are all skin, raggedy scrap metal, bone, fur, torn leather and fabrics. Can't hide mold lines on any of that crap.They are luckily very forgiving to paint which makes up for the somewhat painful prep work
>>94788614I don't like ABing primer, cans are just easier w no clean up
>>94788606Thanks I'll try colourforge, never heard of them but see them around alotI like the matt black hobby brands give over my rustoleum
>>94786375Just DIY yourself, you don't want comfy priming or some shit?
>>94788970>DIY yourself

>>94789072>Do it yourself yourself.

Kys yourself
>>94788923SameI have a full airbrush setup and I still keep some cans on hand if I don't feel like firing up the compressor and cleaning the airbrush
Been working on a process for scaling down 28mm stls to 6mm, and not having them break or fail to print.
Never tried to make a mini with magnetised/interchangeable partsShould I try it on this KDM rawhide armor kit or is it simply too unfeasible with parts this small?
>>94789221awesome
>>94789496If this is your first time doing this, I'd advise against starting with KDM.I mean, it can be done, but takes fair bit of effort.https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/1694918/magnetizing-kingdom-death-monster-survivors-a-prim
>>94789520Goddamn that looks difficult to doStill, it looks very exciting to try though.Thanks for the link anon, will try it on KDM probably sometime in the future I try my hand on magnetising less expensive minis.
>>94789556Give it a go on something like a space marine or some other mini where you only have to swap like an arm or a weapon
>>94789496Maybe just use acrylic glue or blu-tack for quick swap, magnetising KDM is a pain in the ass
>>94789562Holy these kits are expensive>>94789602Yeah but I guess I want to try at least with one of the KDM kits I haveIf I miserably fail I'll just glue the other kits too.
>>94786458Show bottomHOWBOTTOMI have made these in the past and I never get the underside right, it always looks flat. Something about having large surfaces be one single block of color I find hard to deal with.
>>94789727Never buy direct from GW, basically any LGS, Amazon, or Ebay seller will sell them for 20% less. That said if you do have a GW store near you can walk in and ask for the free mini of the month, so long as you're cool with deflecting the attempt to upsell you into a starter kit.
>>94789727Look up 40K Combat Patrol magazine. Depending on where you live, you can get a bunch of models for relatively cheap. I think the first issue with two minis is like 3 eur and then it gets up to 10 per issue if you subscribeI saw one offer for the first three issues for 10 eur maybe with delivery and that would get you 5 basic marines, a terminator captain, 3 nids and a warrior primeFor just fucking around and learning it might be good deal unless you can get something from 3rd party instead
>>94788970Anon what kind of fan do you have in that spray booth? I've been looking at bilgeblowers but don't know how strong it has to be. Also worried about if lacquer fumes (for gunpla) might be flamable inside the blower's motor.
How many different shades of browns/ochres/khakis/beiges is enough, and past owning how many can you determine you're mentally ill?
>>94789761>>94789797sadly GW stuff isnt readily available in my country so I'll probably get some cheap thing I can find on ebay or 3rd party stuff instead
>>94787672How would one search for that STL, anon?
Whenever I try to apply a first coat it is very runny, watery and does not stick or cover at all.I am so frustrated.And angry!
>>94787888>nyummI don’t know what that means but yes I’m playing around with turbodork absinthe paint for power weapons to make them crazy high gloss metallic. I’ve done so many flat colored minis I want my Eldar to be done up with high gloss metals to really stand out
>>94790126Don't water your paint down that much?
>>94789996By asking. It's thitania v2 pinup at 75mm scale by twin goddess miniatures
>>94790341Much appreciated! I don't know if I have the guts to print and paint a coomer model, but it looks really good
>>94790362You could print the metal bikini version. It's been a fun model to paint.
>>947897273D print it
>>94789873This onehttps://www.amazon.com/Exhaust-Extractor-Powerful-Industrial-Ventilator/dp/B09KKN5QWZ>Also worried about if lacquer fumes (for gunpla) might be flamable inside the blower's motor.I been using that poorfag spraybooth for 2 years with no problem, i guess it is depend on the filter. This thing is pretty good, way better than air conditioner filter
Question about cloning pieces using oyumaruI used to test/try using a mix of milliput and greenstuff but I was wondering how would it work with sprues melted with acetone/plastic cement. Right now I don't have oyumaru (I ordered some) and I was wondering if the acetone/plastic cement can fuck it upAnyone has tried this before?
>>94784370Are the Badger airbrushes on @mazon legit? I know they're made in USA but the brand is listed as some other weird company
>stainless stell mixing balls corroded>ruined my pot of blood for the blood god>have to rebottle about 100 paintsfortune pisses on me once again, almost all paints have small black dots on the bottom, am i good once i transfer them to new bottle or do i have to get rid of all of them?
>>94790932what kind of garbage balls did you buy
>>94790932isnt the reason to get for stainless steel that it doesnt rust?
>>94790938small brand that specificly said it was for acryllic paints>>94790956i guess they werent stainless but corrosion resistant to some extend?
>>94789064kys yourself and rip in peace
>>94790956There are hundreds, if not 1000s of SST's. Not all are the same. Without knowing the exact ph of paint formulas, its definitely possible that a low grade stainless like 410 would rust. And since bearings also rarely state which SST theyre using, you cant solely rely on things labeled as stainless. 316 would be ideal i think as a general corrosion resistant SST
>>94791052>still mad 7 hours later
What's the best way to clean up that white chemical reaction from super glue? I did some basing yesterday and now a few models have that white ring. I'm trying to only have to clean it once so I don't expose the paint to anything because I haven't varnished yet.
>>94791290CA glue remover/softener.And then dont use the cheapest CA glue you can find, the higher quality ones tend to not get that white stuff.
>>94791328I was using loctite brand gel super glue. It's not exactly cheap. Any suggestions for something I should try out?
>>94790932I've been buying them from AP, always lamenting what kind of brand fanboy faggot I am and how I should just buy ball bearings, but I never had this issue. Perhaps I wasn't as retarded as I originally thought.
>>94790956>>94790967There's no truly rust-proof steel. Stainless steels are simply more or less corrosion-resistant, how much varies a lot with the exact alloying elements added and whatever heat treatment (intentional or not) the steel may have gotten. Odds are the rusted mixing balls here are made form some really cheap stuff that only barely manage to qualify as stainless at all.I use glass mixing balls instead.
>>94791290Paint over it.
>>94787888There would still just be one main orientation that made sense
>>94791617I like the layout. What do you plan on playing on it?If you wanted to make something more modular next time, you cold make like 9"×9" tiles with openings on the same sides.
>>94791736Good ideaThis will be for trench crusade
Why do citadel paints smell so well?
>>94791893I didn't know they could smell
>>94791854It would be kinda cool (if it didn't completely break the balance, I'm not familiar with the game) where if you had an even number of tiles, you and your opponent could take turns placing them down and building the map. Maybe flip a coin or roll a d20 to see who goes first.You would get new maps every skirmish and could come up with new strategies trying to add dead ends or choke points where you want them.
Did a wash of flesh wash + white ink + a bunch of homemade wash medium on the skin, think it's a little dark for an albino rat but it seems to work
>>94791344I don't know Anon, I use a local brand. I knew those white residues from those really cheap tubes of super glue which you sometimes get at a dollar store, so I assume you use that.
>>94786458>1:72>that window maskingMad, scalies are something else
>>94791893Probably because retards keep putting steel mixing balls in them and they get all rusty and fucked up.
>>94791344>>94792036Some brands might be a bit better or worse, but in general that's just the way CA is.
>>94792114What would you suggest putting instead?Inb4 frying up your nerves with a vortex mixer
>>94792158t. anti vibration gloves
Still figuring out how NMM works. Still a long way to go.
>>94791617what? if the top part (the trenches walls) wasn't connected to the bottom part (ground)... there would be lots of different configurations and you could make different parts easily.
>>94792158I just shake the bottles and somehow I manage to get by.
do I really have to wait a full day until greenstuff is hard so that I can file it down a little?
>>94792412You can put it in the oven to speed it up
WIP how do I avoid tiny bits of my wet palette coming off my brush onto my mini? I just use the paper sheets that came with it but it never fails, my minis get this fuzzy texture like in pic related.
>>94792180Good start, I've not done NMM but it looks like you've bricked it out well
>>94792431maybe focusing your camera would fix the fuzziness. or using different paper? or not using a wet pallette?
Almost done on the orks, blood bowl has been fun to paint for as each mini can be done to a good standard without the whole thing taking forever.>>94785303Nice, looks good to me.
>>94785303Those gems look killer
>>94792158
>>94792494What blue and yellow is that? Looks very nice
How's AP fanatic white compared to vallejo? Other than citadel or maybe AK/TTC for twice the price that's all that's nearby
>>94792605I use both Vallejo model/game and AP. I like them a lot both. AP paints are generally a bit thiccer, but I would say that they are about the same regarding other qualities.
>>94792682Any major difference coverage wise? How do the usual suspects compare in that regard?
>>94792690Coverage-wise, it obviously depends on the color. If I were to generalize, I would say that AP is comparable to Citadel paints. I was just thinking about my previous post, and there is definitely one weakness I would say about AP; they lack deeper, darker colors, in my opinion. I think this is being resolved with new colors being released, but still, for example, for dark greens, I use mostly the Vallejo Model because AP is usually too bright/light. Also, the finish tends to be more satin-ish, but I don't really care about that since I varnish everything. But it might matter to you.
Made a bit of progress on the tree today
>>94792744I have a suspicion that vallejo's weird texturing and airbubbling issues that I've been having are from how matte they are so I'd welcome satin. I think my dark vallejos are "fine" with a little effort or even some ink, but brighter colors are kind of desaturated and experience those earlier problems more.
Started washing
>>94792902I'm glad you've decided to invest in hygiene, your ratto is starting to shape up too.
>>94792925>I'm glad you've decided to invest in hygienefucks sake you are a dad aren't you
>>94792825Neat. Nice picture too.
>>94791344shop around, use less, or specific hobby foam ca glue
>>94792944Thanks anon, this new lamp I have is actually bright enough for clean pictures on a white background. I honestly think I like it more than black that I used to do.

>>94793001These are next in line for meRATS RISE UP!
>>94792101Eh, if you get the right size of tape it isn't that hard. The most essential parts are to use aactual masking tape and to have an unused sharp blade (I use a fresh scalpel blade). You want to cut the paper masking tape with pressure, that way you don't scratch the underlying plastic.>>94789735PIC. It's simply a black primer with the RL blue grey (I forget the numerical code) sprayed over in thin layers, going panel by panel until I'm happy with the result. Currently this is not done yet, this is now gloss varnished, decalled and gloss varnished again (thin layers), painting the wheelwell next (forgotten but suits me fine to do at this stage) then oil paints, then assembly of the loose parts (gunbarrels, undercarriage etc.) And then finally a satin varnish, which I may or may not sand back depending on the result.It is a great kit available for less than 10 Euros.
>>94793114>>94793114Without pressure*
I should probably finalise the scheme before starting on the other trolls, but fuck it, I want to get the bulk of the work out of the way now.
>>94793114How do you get the decals to go into those panellines?
>>94793132Use a decal setting liquid (like MicroSol), if that isn't enough on its own then gently push with a toothpick or something when the decal is soft from the liquid.
>>94793132I apply cooking (white) vinegar onto the decals after application. Then I use a non curved blade (e.g. xacto) to push them into the panel lines after they have set, I don't really care if they get cut in this process. I then apply vinegar again and let dry overnight, after which a gloss varnish is applied. The reason I don't care about the decals being cut on the panel line or simply being pushed into them, is because I go over the panels with brown/black oil pains anyway, the important part is simply that the panel groove is there.
>>94793121Winging it is way more fun, anyway. Nice airbrush work for the base coats.
>>94793121God I love trolls. Are there any good non-GW trolls? I feel like I haven't seen any. I don't want to buy GW but their trolls are so good.
>>94793171>>94793154P sure microsol is diluted acetone and microset acetic acid (vinegar). I don't much like using microsol ever since it it ate into my paintjob. Sure, I likely didn't properly gloss beforehand, but still. Like other anon I also use vinegar instead of microset.
>>94793225I still have never gotten a straight answer what the fuck vinegar is supposed to do to help decals set or position more easily. Microsol I get, but wtf is microset supposed to actually do vs water?
I gave the cloth a grey wash I mixed up with some inks but I'm not too impressed, maybe I'll try to dry brush some white back in if I can figure out how to do it with a smaller brush
>>94793386Dammit I got it on the handle
made floaty cloth thingies to try and make this mini less fragile. thinking of putting some skulls on them.
Where can I get a decent set of bits for a pin vise? I'm not interested in just getting whatever $7 crap is on Amazon.
>>94793603The cloth is a bit messy but I actually kinda like it. What's the mini btw, it looks cool
>>94793603>>94793625Yeah that cloth looks cool. Makes it look very ethereal.
>>94792589Yellow is just GW eavy metal style (Yriel, shade up with flash gitz and dorn then down with Averland, skrag and rhinox).The blue is vallejo game colour but the bottle is so old the name wore off.
>>94793625whhh? I don't understand. brain but working today.
>>94793681What? He asked you what the mini is? I don't know how that question can be simplified.
>>94793696no. I meant what's messy? I'm still laying in colours and figuring stuff out. not sure. mini is called forsaken king. beastarium miniatures I think. my mini factory.this will eventually be a CSJ theme
>>94793708Oh right, yeah I mean the paint job on the cloth is messy but it's probably not done yet and the cloth itself is messy, but that makes sense because it looks like it's just sort of blowing around his feet and weapon.
>>94793730... it is just blowing around his feet and weapon. correct. mini's scythe is broken & needs a support below I reglue it back together. and the mini snapped off at the ankles previously. I'm probably gonna glue some skulls onto the cloth and cape. so it looks like some flying skulls are following their king around.I don't understand your point...messed with this d00d a bit. might add bronze to cannon on some high points. dunno.
>>94793215I like this one from Reaper I've got, though it's a tad expensive for a single mini so I'm probably not gonna get more. https://www.reapermini.com/search/troll/latest/44002They've got a few nice troll models, some that are very in line with the more cartoonish look the GW ones have.
>>94793772>I don't understand your point...I wasn't the one that said it was messy originally. I was just trying to explain why he might have said it. He'll have to answer himself.
>>94793772What I meant is the paintjob on the cloth is a bit messy unless of course it's intentional. That's just how it reads to me
>>94793790That's still half of what I can get GW trolls for while they are on sale, but they are never in stock anyway. Oh actually, 3D prints. I can just get my usual not-Warhammer 3D print store to print some trolls that look like GW ones for around 11 USD per troll.
>>94792158It's a vortex mixer not a pneumatic drill you numpty.More people who know nothing about vortex mixers talking about them...
>>94793825I'm gonna curl up into a ball and die in your crawlspace and you're going to be mildly inconvenienced by the smell whenever you move between your living room and kitchen which will be the only place it's noticable
>>94792158Bro doesn't want a vortex mixer because it's gonna injure him. I also fear injury (by repetitive motion), which is why I bought a vortex mixer. The fucking irony...
>>94794114You people can't shake tiny bottles of paint sometimes?This is insanity. You're not working in a fucking paint shaking sweatshop where you have to do it for 14 hours a day straight.
>>94792431>WIP how do I avoid tiny bits of my wet paletteI have never heard of this. I've never seen parchment paper or wet pallet papers break up into the brush. Could it be something else you are doing? Are you drying your brush with a paper towel or tissue? That will do that to your brush. Also if you are using the same brush for metallics and regular paints, then the metallic particles will gunk up your brush and come out in the regular paints.
>>94794161>I can't spend $20 to reduce unnecessary strain on my tendonswhat in the safety sandals wearing, just walk it off, leaded gasoline fuck am I reading?
>>94792587why would they come in a bottle like that
>>94794228Put the nozzle up to your asshole and squeeze.
>>94792587these would be better than the chunks of sprue I was using before. I forgot which, but one of the bottles has a space marine helmet inside it. Maybe if I just keep painting I'll find it eventually...
hey anons, I got this vibrating paint mixer because I was afraid of repetitive motion injuries.

>>94795527
Hey folks, got a brief question about drybrush recommendations. Recently I’ve noticed my e.l.f. brushes I use have started to wear down. I’ve been in the hobby for a few years now and, while I do use this technique less than my traditional brushes or airbrush, I was wondering if it’s time to invest in some more proper drybrushes. I know there are the fancy Artis Opus drybrushes (that are essentially rebrands from Rosemary & Co.) but even with the higher-level of care/time I put into my painting process I still don’t feel I need to spend $125 on a set of them — especially since I don’t do slapchop of anything that requires it extensively. Has anyone found any success with cheaper, but still solid tools?
what settings do you guys use for inks through an airbrush (psi, ink to thinner ratio, etc)?
>>94795644I just leave my airbrush at like 25psi and overthin everything so I don't have to worry about it. as long as I do really fine coats.
>>94795629Don't get army painter ones. I made that mistake. They seem nice at first, but they are very cheeply produced. IPA melted the glue holding the bristles in instantly.
>>94795651im just getting that annoying pooling going on which is quite frustrating
>>94795654That’s good to know! I hate that apparently the Artis Opus ones are solidly-produced, which means I probably will bite the bullet and order them during a sale in the future but I was curious what experiences others had first.
>>94795629The cheap aliexpress dry brush set work fine
>>94795629Juan Hidalgo plugs the artify dry brush set often, it's basically just the artis opus set but for 25 bucks, I think any round bulb goat hair ones you find even on aliexpress should work though
Why or how are "drybrushes" better than just a virtually costless makeup brush?
>>94795745They use different bristles, think drybrushes tend to be stiffer, whether or not they're better is up to preference
>>94795223Did you base them before you put the models there?
>>94795629>>94795733I have them and they're pretty solid. Upgraded from a synthetic set in the same design and the improved wicking of the natural hair is pretty immediately apparent. One thing to be aware of though: they shed a good bit of hair when new and will still drop one or two every now and again once they're worn in.
>>94795658Spraying too much at once. If you have a chuck tighten it down a turn or two, test on a plastic spoon or test mini.
Does anyone have experience buying large(20+ and above) paint bundles?I've been using the Valejo 10-set for a couple of minis and am looking to expand my collection since mixing paints is a chore and I need a few misc. colors(a gray, a darker red, a browner yellow, a magenta). I considered just buying paints I need per-project, but I also have a large pool of test minis now and I'd like to experiment on a larger range.Pro Acryl came to mind first, but I've heard good things about Army Painter's bundles.
What's the tl;dr for achieving the "box art" look like pic rel? I can't quite replicate it and I can't figure out what elements they use to achieve it.
>>94795863I have pro acryl's starter set. It's good and all, but obviously depending on what you're painting any set is going to come with colors that probably aren't in the palette of what you're trying to paint.But I use pro acryl more for specific individual minis, not anything that has to be an exact color match, so it's not really to get around mixing in this case it's just because PA's paints are generally nicer.I know some people are anti-paint kit, but I think a good option if you can afford it is a starter set, and then the specific dedicated paints that are the main things you need right now. That way you don't run into a stupid problem where you're like>fuck, I didn't realize I wanted to paint the belt brown on my ultramarine and I only thought to get blue and black and no browns/orangesAny decent starter set will cover most of your bases, but you definitely won't touch many of them very often.
>>94795791i realised that the ink i was using (daler rowney) had a thick layer on the bottom of the glass bottle that needed to be scraped off, even with no thinner i noticed it was coming out looking like shit. should be fine nowive started to fiddle with that chuck, its a H&S which has a bunch of suggestions for each setting (prime, zenithal, etc)
>>94794188I do in fact do thatWhat do you use to dry your brush each time you switch paints?
>>94795893>Any decent starter set will cover most of your bases, but you definitely won't touch many of them very often.That's interesting.Right now I'm painting Malifaux gangs as my first "Fuck around and find out" project and, given it's a heroic skirmish game with flexible army building rules, color matching isn't a huge deal and I want to work with a bunch of different paints to get a hang of the basics like blending(easier if I can pull out three paints as a base, highlight, shadow color) and what different layers do over each other, like yellow over brown.(citadel painting style) After this I'll work on a Killteam/Warcry(depends on what the local stores run more frequently) team where I'll probably buy specific colors.
>>94795938Rub water off on your hand then suck your brush and lick it to restore the tip. Changed the way I paint completely.
>>94795873Airbrush and lots of blending.
>>94795863I bought that box and bought the metallics later, pretty good paints with a nice selection in the box. Mahogany, dark blue grey, burnt red/orange, and titanium white are all great, only iffy one is orange.
>>94795952you don't need an airbrush to get smooth blends on minis that small. It's honestly more about patience and being neat.
>>94795989Sure, it can be done.. but that's not how they do it.
>>94796018I honestly wouldn't be surprised if for some idiotic reason gw didn't give airbrushes to the eavy metal team
>>94796041They have their own and use non GW paints as well.They're doing a job, so they're gonna be efficient and not spend a lot of time blending by hand if they don't have to.
I recently got a pigma Sakura 100 micron tip pen for scripts and banners and I'm wondering if I need to do anything special for varnishing them Other than giving them ample time to dry
>>94794161>Unnecessary strainAre you made of glass?
> near mid-January> my SS giftee never postedIt's ogre.
>do not have skin color>its fucking over>wait>have white and brown>mix it>get PERFECT skin color>mfwI wish I would've thought of it earlier. Mixing colors can really save you money too.
What about orange, red and purple?
>>94796327Yeah, just hard to get the exact same color twice, so if you're painting uniforms of some kind, it looks off. Fine for things like skin or hair color though, as those are varied anyway.
>>94796332What about them?
>>94796355well human skins?
I am about to wash a 30€ miniature with watered down 1.0 speedpaint.Wish me luck bros.
>>94796375What do you think brown is?
>>94796388Idk, i'm yellow
this is a farseer Im working on based off some art I like it is a mess>>94796385good luck
Why is purple wash so better than any other skin wash?
>>94795685Have you used it?My large one had bristles come out when you pinch the top and pull very softly
>>94795745Like other guy said, stiffer bristles mainly
Anyone with these models know if this scale comparison is accurate?
>>94795629>>94795675Just get the rosemaryco ones, a set of 5 is like 100 Australian dollars
>>94796450Got mine week ago and it's still okay after 3 minis, but maybe because i'm drybrushing very gently and softly
>>94795685Why the fuck there are so many dry brush set brands on Aliexpress? Are they all the same or what?
>>94796461>100 Australian dollars for dry brushingJesus christ
>>94796354NoI can mix any colour good enough that you can't notice the difference and most people could too
>>94796465Nah it's prob fine if your using it, mine were bad, only the large two tho
>>94796475anon that's top quality and a set of 5
>>94796490Dry brushing is basically destroying the brush anyway, no matter the quality
TOPQUALITYDRYBRUSHING ACTION
>>94795863I've bought the AP 50 paints set, the one with the paint holder. It's bretty good, imo, though there are way too many purples/pinks for me.
>>94796354Its not very hard to right down how many parts per paint used and then consistently color match, or you know just color matching against one you already like. I dont mix everything but I despise triad painting and get all of my highlights and shadows from universals.
>>94788372After looking at them for a while I think the pink colour is kind of not good. I'm thinking of changing the blades to gloss black and removing the flowers...
>>94796583Or maybe silver blades with clear black over it???
>>94796583I think the flowers are good for how well the contrast with the blue on your suits.But I'm not sure if the pink on the blade works.
>>94796598Mm.. Yea I'll try repainting the blades and reassess the flowers. Do you think orange or red flowers might look better than pink?
>>94796611Nah I think the soft pink of those flowers is perfect for the blue. I think red or orange might be too 'warm'.
>>94796480Show me. https://color.method.ac
>>94796634Thank you for your thoughts anon I appreciate it.
>>94795766I added the texture materials after the minis and before priming.
Which colours work better anons??
>>947967231, maybe 5.
>>94796583>>94796598>>94796634I agree with anon, the pink flowers complement the blue on the mechs very nicely. But yeah the pink blades aren't working. Not because of the color choice necessarily, but the paintjob on the blades simply isn't up to par with the rest of the models honestly. They're not bright enough, they look unfinished compared to everything else. I'd try pushing the highlights way further on the blades before repainting if I were you, might get them looking really good with just a little bit more effort
>>947967231 and 4
>>94796735Any good tutorials or examples of cool blade effects? I might as well spend a bit of time seeing as it's kind of the commander and his unit eh... I had an idea to do gloss black like an unusual shiny black onyx/obsidian. But could do a glowy power blade / lightsaber, but the rest of the models are too bright to pull off OSL I think..
>>94796723Green & blue look the best here, but I think you might get the blades looking good with pink too if you simply push the highlights brighter and maybe so some pink/magenta NMM on the edge of the blade.
>2/3 of the way through the paint job before I bump a raised spot and realise my primer is just barely stickingThe joys of resin in the frozen winter, but ball we must.
>>94796751https://youtu.be/j9t_u3qA-xw?si=KYlqgbpHFe7x-CITThis one could work. I think a simple NMM effect on the blade with whatever colors you fancy would look really amazing. That giant blade edge is practically begging for some NMM
>>94796732>>94796749>>94796760Green is winning.What about nmm / gradient, and glowing letters, all painted grayscale, then using the same contrast as the cacti? It's striking scorpion contrast I think.
Anyone here used the green stuff world inks before? Just interested to see what they are like
>>94796778Nevermind, THIS is the one you wanthttps://youtu.be/wE7arlI1_3g?si=I2HQOz1V8KKScEHvThat is some beautifully flamboyant pink NMM, would look amazing on your tau 100%
>>94796790Alright fuck it I'll do blue NMM, I have decided against pink, to keep the model cold and the base warm. Green would blend too much visually with the cacti, especially on the bodyguard with downward blade . But the rest of the army isn't getting any such special attention!
>>94794248what the hell is that lmao
>>94796907A paint shaker anon, we dont buy unitasker products here.
Robo space dorfs before oil wash. I really like how these turned out but next time I'll be more carefull with the primer, it's too chunky.
>>94796895>blue NMMSounds like a solid choice.>But the rest of the army isn't getting any such special attention!You'll probably end up having to do blue NMM on all blades in your army to have it looking nice and cohesive. It's easier on smaller blades anyways, less surface area to glaze so the color blends don't need to be as smooth and pristine as on the giant blades.
>>94796919Only 4 blades in the army I think so should be fine.. For lenses and widshields of the gunships etc I'm just gonna do solid black with gloss varnish (ardcoat) because I can't be bothered.
>>94796912You are doing the ice lego meme! I only thought it was a meme, and always wished someone would do it for real. Looks awesome!
Finished the basecoats on dilanza.Will maybe put some red on the helmet as well.
>>94796648nta. that's a fun game
>>94797113Yeah, I like color matching games. Check if my vision still works. Get a good score?
>>94796912Neat. If I liked votann I'd definetely do the rock riders scheme myself, those were some sickass lego sets
>>94797157
>>94794776
>>94797175Pretty good anon.
>>94797175>>94797180I feel like the challenge of this game comes more from maintaining awareness of where your cursor is than actually matching colors.
>>94796648This game is dumb. Doing this on a phone, you can't see the colour wheel if you need to select a colour in the top left section, and for some reason I continuously selected colours but in the wrong segments, like... Reversed or flipped?and then it gave me this as my score (I could not zoom out to see what I actually got).
Hey /wip/ I need some assistance does anyone own/ have built a M1A1 /A2 Abrams kit with the power pack engine I need a picture of the rear profile of the power pack and I can't find any online and I need it for reference for a kitbash.

>>94797809Damn I was hoping for some crossover maybe /toy/ will be able to help thanks.
>>94797826o-oh I'm sorry
>>94797474Dunno how to tell which engine is used, but here's the arse of Flyhawk's 1/72 "M1A2 SEP" in case it happens to be useful.
>>94797880>>94797872That's a nice tank anon, I don't know anything about scales but this is enjoyable to look at.>>94797733Looking good, where did the verdigris go? I liked it
>>94797872Hey thanks for taking the time to do that but I need the power pack like in this picture, the top is the closest thing I could find but its lacking details and proportions appear wrong. Im hoping someone would have the resin model like the bottom as that is closer to reality.
>>94797908>Czechbro on /tg/nice
>>94797908Ah, the engine on its own. Can't help you there I'm afraid.
>>94797924Its all good man appreciate effort also that that is very nice tank.
Update on the trench crusade table
>>94797983>trench crusadewoooooooooooo *inhales*....oooooooooooooooooooo *coughs* keI'm just kidding. Cool board.
>>94797733>I don't have a computer anymore.fuck, get a shitty laptop or somethingsmartphones are the worst invention since broccoli I swear
About to get some rust effects, then they should be ready for a game or two.
>>94797983Reminds me of the Black Magic Craft video. He did a similar board, but modular i think. Looks quite nice Anon. How long is each side? 3"?
>>94798035make smol weathered propaganda posters and glue them on the containers
>>94798043>3"doubt it, man
>>94797983look cool but why so symetric?
>>94798047I actually have 2 A4 sheets of printed 40k and necromunda posters. Good call, it might be the time to finally use some of them.
>>94798053Idk, I drew the layout in like 5 minutes. I figure symmetrical will be good for game balance>>94798043Yeah its 3x3ft
>>94797899I decided I needed to adjust the armour's values so that there was higher contrast before I do verdigris.>>94797983This is so sick, can't wait to see the finished result. I'm mildly perturbed that you assembled it as one piece but I can't argue with the results so far. I'd love to play with you. uwu
>>94798123>I figure symmetrical will be good for game balanceIt probably is. The only issue i can imagine from looking at it are the narrow trenches to both sides. Maybe the image is confusing, but it seems they barely fit one 25mm base?
I'm gonna rebase the two on the left to 25mm, paint the animated armour (gold? bronze?) to use alongside Orenstein & the Forsaken King d00d, and then the last two booby ladies go with the Not-KKK Pilgrims.
also, some heretics and random weirdos. gotta have some random weirdos. sorry for spamming I just really love these guys.
>>94798134The small trenches on the side fit 40mm bases easilyI haven't played the game yet but there are rules for climbing trenches so i figure it will be ok, no narrow communication trench for big monsters.Im also gonna add bridges across at some point
>casually scrolling>see painting>holy fuck this dude's control of light is unreal>realize I never would have noticed that a year agothis was not part of the plan
>>94798213I'm paying way more attention to colors around me since I started taking painting a bit more seriously

>>94798716Kill team is perfect for that, trying all sorts of new things on minis.
I screwed something up and I'm not sure exactly what. I did new molds recently with blue stuff, as usual, but turned out that I had both some kind of "holes" and tiny "drops" as you can see on pic right face. I didn't noticed that while making mold itself.What could that be? Parts were clean, pressing block present, BS wiped after taken out of water. I don't understand.
Do you think this effect would be interesting to try on minis? Think for something like Eldar gems or similar things.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KoXw390cOXU
Am I a worthy son of Sanguinius?
>>94799029noset the model down and stop posting sideways images and then maybe
>>94798928Most gems will likely be far too small for this to work all that well. Paint something bigger and, well, as fancy as it could look it'll also most likely simply end up looking like a plastic toy covered in fancy paint, instead of selling the illusion of a grav tank or mech or whatever. Ie rather missing what's usually the point of miniature painting.
