>>96491381These Mortifactors are almost done. I still need to do the decals, some freehand and minor details.
Gave it a shot. Alot of clean up but thats tomorrow's problem.
>>96491249Not confused, just interested in the list itself.
Trying to level up my leather kilts
anyone have a link for the most recent version of stahly's color swatches?
>>96492181I'm not 100% sure if it's the newest one but here you gofiles (dot) catbox (dot) moe/s13y93 (dot) pdf
>>96492189Ty anon! Got the pdf for contrasts as well by any chance?
>>96492251I have this one. I think it's an older version, it doesn't have the new AK range.>files (dot) catbox (dot) moe/h8t2tp (dot) pdf
>>96492269wonderful, tysm
>>96491627I like the lenses but it looks a bit odd that they're the same colour as the shoulder trim.
>>96492181>stahlyIs that retard still in a mask ? lol>see’s PDFYep, lmaoImagine specifically asking for some mindless retard’s “swatches”. I can’t even, lol.A simple search pulls this up immediately:https://minipainters.com/paint-comparison>ftfyNow you don’t have to look at that narcissist faggot in a mask lol.
>>96492366trying too hard
>>96492366someone's mad
>>96492336They're not exactly the same as far as I can tell. Looks nice to me>>96492366Paint comparisons without photos of the actual paint in use are inaccurate and useless
>>96492471>They're not exactly the same as far as I can tell.the trim, grenades, wires, lenses and osl on the mine are so similar in hue that it spoils any illusion that those objects might be different materials.
>>96492366You already posted the same retarded bait before.
>>96492366>'manufacturer provided alternative'>rgb color comparisonstahly is a faggot but you are retarded
Finished this guy today.
>>96492783Stahly might be a faggot, but his swatches are imo the only good color comparison tool out there.
>>96492789His armour could do with a bit of contrast. Some darker tones. At the moment his skin and armour are the same colour.
>>96492804that's my pointhe is a faggot for obvious reasons and for paywalling it when he gets all the paints for free
Has anyone here used vallejo GC bloody red vs 2 thins coats demon red vs mephiston red? How do they compare?
>>96492822Yeah I thought so too, my phone overlighted some parts of the model though. Going to add some shades to the armor later.
>>96488521My.... 1980's Citadel paints are mostly still liquid. Says something about the hard plastic pots....
Posted this knight a while back. I did it with a chrome marker/black ink pinwash technique that I am developing and refining. Got a heavily armored landsknecht that I'm about to begin painting and I'm going to use that technique for his armor. Takes a couple days with a fair bit of downtime between some steps. The technique absolutely lends itself to batchwork, however. So if you are cool with waiting between some steps you can still get a lot of minis done at once. I did a rough overview of it over on /awg/ a while back. I'll take pictures as I go and drop the tutorial for it all at once when it's done. It's actually very easy to do, a beginner could even do it. Of course there are other things to keep in mind with the technique. You won't want Joe with the greasy hands pawing all over it smudging it just to see if it will smudge. But there are certain ways to mitigate wear and tear and I'll go over all that as well in the tutorial.
>>96492874I find my phone camera always washes out colors for some reason. It will have heavy contrast irl but I take a picture and it just disappears.
Pic of the mini for anyone who may be curious
>>96493344Looking forward to it, friend.
>>96493344>a chrome marker/black ink pinwash technique that I am developing and refiningAnon there's no need for overly fancy terminology. You painted it in metallic and gave it a wash.
got a few questions if anyone dosnt mind answering1: is it normal to use a magnifying glass/tool for painting minis? 2: anyone have any tips for doing highlingting? watched a few vids but i am not really getting it
>>96493556>1: is it normal to use a magnifying glass/tool for painting minis? Yes, either desk mounted with a light or a headband/glasses.>2: anyone have any tips for doing highlingting? watched a few vids but i am not really getting itShow an example of your work first but probably you have too much paint on your brush because you didn't wipe the excess away (don't fucking scrape it across the paper you just have to get rid of a bit of paint)
>>96493577this boy i finished yesterday, red area is main point i am unsure about on the belt and sash
>>964935561. I never felt a need to even for tiny stuff like eyes but I see no harm in getting them if you feel like it'll help you out.2. I assume you're this anon >>96489790, I wanted to reply to you yesterday but I kinda forgot lol, my bad Anyway, it depends on what you want to do. >If you just want to do GW/eavy metal you just edge highlight every possible edge. For that you need a pretty runny paint, think slightly thinner than what you use for basecoating. Afterwards you make sure to not have too much paint on your brush and either skim the side of your brush on the edges you can catch and use the tip for places that you can't reach with the side. >If you want to do more natural highlights you need to keep light in mind. A good way to figure this out in the beginning is to put your mini under your desk lamp with light coming from the angle you want to paint and use that as reference. You can even take a picture and crank up the contrast in an editor to make it easier to read. To sell the highlights done this way it's best to blend them at least a bit so they don't look like just different colors stacked on top one another. Blending is a whole different skill to learn but I think layering is the most straightforward one. Basically you just slowly mix in your highlight color to the midtone and paint "layers" of that towards the brightest point covering a smaller area each time.I can't recommend Duncan enough for a beginner. He explains and shows everything really well. His painting is pretty simple all things considered, it's always basecoat-wash-edge highlight but it looks solid and that's what I'd try to learn first as a beginner.
>>96493638am same anon indeed. as im pretty new to painting with any medium. id like to just get what looks generally nice.
>>96492831Demon red is more comparable to evil sunz scarlet than mephiston red. It's decisively brighter than mephiston, and slightly more saturated and orangey than GW reds.I haven't tried bloody red, but I have vermilion and dark vermilion from vallejo, they are quite good and also moderately more vibrant than GWs.
>tfw feel like my eyesight has deteriorated significantly over the past couple months>text blurred even when wearing my prescription glasses>means I've reached the limit of my painting ability because I won't even be able to see miniatures properly soon
>>96493586Your paint you used for highlights was more like a basecoating consistency when you want it to be thinner for the purposes of layering. Easy edge highlighting is a case of getting the correct consistency + quantity of paint on the brush, then using the side of the brush to do most of the work for you, but that wouldn't apply to the case on the flat sections of cloth hanging down. Expect to go back and fix mistakes (i.e. if you highlight the belt you will get more red on the skin, it can't be helped)>>96493638 is right, you should watch Duncan's stuff. His blood angel bladeguard veteran tutorial taught me how to paint.
>>96493704Go get some new glasses, perscriptions change and it isn't unusual
>>96493669Then definitely give Duncan a watch. You can improve from there later and his process will give you very respectable-looking minis once you can get it fairly clean.
Has anyone tried this method of basecoating? How well does it work on smaller minis? I can see why it would be effective on bigger things like vehicles or maybe even space marines, but what about smaller guys like regular human models or skeletons? Basecoating is one of the most time consuming parts of painting for me and it's a pain in the ass.
>>96493704Do any of your older relatives have Macular degeneration?Go to the eye doctor and see what he has to say
>>96494027>this method of basecoatingwhat method exactly, I can't tell from the picture alone
>>96493704Go to the doctor tard. Eyesight going that bad that fast is not good.
>>96494057Basically loading up a dry brush and using that to slop the paint all over the surface. Barely thinned and you just move any paint the clogs up to another spot. It seems sound based on the video but he uses a big ass terrain piece and doesn't address smaller minis at all.
>>96494027>Basecoating is one of the most time consuming parts of painting for meI exclusively paint colour schemes that can be basecoated with a spray primer. If it doesn't have a colour matched spray, I don't paint it.Time saved.
>>96494060>Eyesight going that bad that fast is not good.Makes me wonder if >>96493704 is diabetic, or about to be. A similar thing happened to my father-in-law: his optometrist noticed unusual changes in his eyesight within a short period of time, and suggested he get tested for diabetes. This might have ended up saving his life!The diabetes diagnosis shouldn't have come as too much of a surprise. He's built like the Mucinex booger-man.
>>96494091I mean I guess you could quickly apply the main basecoat of a smaller mini that way but that's not exactly anything new. That's the issue with some videos on AO channel - they don't really work for smaller minis.
>>96491627Clean stuff, very nice.>>96492366(you)Doom flayers done, figured out I can just glue one side and not the other to expose the interior at will.
>>96494091yeah sure why not, some grimdark painters basecoat like that, it gives the paint texture, so you may not want that for everything
>>96492134I see the attempt to make it seem worn, but in the picture it just comes out as plain brown. Maybe an even lighter shade of brown or offwhite to really exaggerate the cracks.
>>96494345I really enjoy seeing your rattos
>>96492134I recently saw a short of how to do this. Glaze a lighter brown towards the edges to show general wear on the edges and bends of the leather. Then use an even lighter brown on a fine tip to make scratches and/or stress marks.
>>96492336>>96492471>>96492629The first anon is right, the base colours are actually the same. For the lenses I just pushed it further with black and white.The light also doesn't help. Pic related is the finished test model, maybe it looks better.I used blue for the trim because I wanted to keep the number of colours limited.
Lamenters has been a fun challenge, I do enjoy checkering as a motif so it made freehanding it a bit easier to motivate myself to start.
>>96495078Did you do pure freehand or did you sketch out anything with straight edge or stencil of some kind? I find it bad enough freehanding blood drops on my BA. I couldn't imagine doing a whole squad of checkerboards.
>>96495171Everything is 100% freehand with a size 0 brush, I can only do this work when I'm not too caffeinated.
>>96495078Lovely yellow and the checkers are very clean.>>96495075Nice and clean, good job!>>96494345I like how you did the green and the rust effects. Wooden parts also look very good. Always a pleasure seeing your rats.>>96492789I agree with anon saying it'd look better with his skin and armor not being so close in color. The dragon looks really cool though!
>>96495171Also speaking of a whole squad, this is the whole force Ive done up using OPR rules since thats what the group Im in plays. Theres some irregularities but I personally think it adds to the space knight feel. .
>>96495075The limitation really doesn't help. The saturated blue is the most eye-catching colour on the model so having it in so many different places makes a quality paint job feel more basic/lazy than it is. You've got orange and teal on the base, incorporating those into the marine would punch it up a lot. Or limit the blue to the most important areas of focus and paint trim and grenade in your neutral or dark tones.The scratched leather is really nice.
would you still love me, even if I was a primaris?
>>96493704Are you inhaling the paint?
I want to move on from brushing with acrylics to using big boy lacquers (mostly because of weebshit).I have a couple shop compressors and should I only have to buy a pressure regulator, humidity trap, airbrush and paints/thinners/etc?Should I splurge for the expensive brands or try to make do with some budget stuff?
>>96496125Can I get a rundown of how you painted this blue? Mines came out quite dark and flat. >>96473943

>>96491381Finished the dino, gonna start on his rider tomorrow
>>96496449Nice.
>>96496449Cool dino, very striking orange.
>>96496624buy an ad, faggot
>>96496624I cant afford an ad im indie
>>96496449What colors for the orange?
>>96496125>>96496209>>96496372Added this recipe to our MEGA. Gonna add your Johnny to the collage next go 'round.
>>96496464>>96496484Cheers>>96496680Wild rider red-fire dragon bright-lugganath orange, pretty standard. Oh and washed with carroburg crimson
>>96496685Is this 3D printed or did you just finger your marine while it was wet?
>>96496766It was printed, but cant rule out fingering as well due to being retarded
>>96496644That wasnt even a fucking ad, it was shitting on some fag deleting comments about the current hobby fad and you went and reported me? you're a faggot too
I feel like I overdid the blood effect
Would it be a bad idea to mail an excel blades hobby knife with the twist mechanism activated from the back of the blade to a uk relative given British knife laws?My cousin from the uk wants to get into the hobby and I want to send him a care package of hobby stuff to help him but I’m not sure about the hobby knife.Sorry I don’t really know where else to ask.
>>96497284If it's red it's fresh and fresh needs gloss. If it's old it's dries and browner. So you can either add some gloss or mix in some brown with it.
>>96497297Just don't send him the knife of you're concerned? Send other shit and let him buy whatever kind of wallace and gromit toy contraption passes for a hobby knife in his godforsaken country.
>>96497366Fair enough then.
Head done.
Good god I love my vortex mixer. Shit is like magic. Get one if you don't already have one!>>96497404Excellent glow; what all are you using to achieve that?
>>96497404Nice glowing effects.
>>96497455>Excellent glow; what all are you using to achieve that?Vallejo fluorescent scarlet over orange, with some flash gitz yellow highlights and a bit of a carroburg crimson wash.

Workin on these dudes. With or without the choco chips?
>>96497670So meta...
>>96491381Treasure Island all done with proper pictures taken!
>>96498363Good shit anon, came out excellent!
>>96498370Thanks anon. On my recent projects I discovered an incredibly easy way to create ambiance. Just use inks, thinned 1/5-1/10 with an airbrush and you can easily create a wholly different scene with various reflections in just an hour or even less.
>>96498363Have been enjoying the progress. Now it's time to cum tribute it.
>>96498363>>96498386Lovely, fantastic work anon
>>96498363Im going to beat you to death with a hammer this is so good wtf
>>96498363Some of the facial features are too sharp, but otherwise it's very well done. Hope you apply this to a more attractive model next round.
>>96497134Yes I did because it served no other purpose than to shitstir and bring attention to some literal who sloptuber, fuck off.
>>96498363Very nice!
finally put on paint on some Skaven that have spent many years on the pile of shame.
>>96498363Same energy.
>>96498246A meta list wouldn't use a single Obliterator, dumbass
>>96498363>>96498386Gorgeous!>>96498825I feel like just starting is half the battle. It's easier to keep the ball rolling from there.
>>96499112Very true, getting that inertia going is the hardest part
>>96499101Ackchyually you said IW which would imply you're using the Siegehost detachment which makes Obliterator a legit pick instead of a meme one.
>>96499101>>96499151>>/tg/40kg
>>96499151So we're moving the goalpost from "you're using a meta list" to "you're using a list that isn't shit", then?
>>96499101>>96499151>>96499159fuck off to /40kg/, seriously
>>96499151>>96499101>>96499159>>40kg
Man, why the fuck is /40kg/ such an unmitigated cancer? Why even?
>>96499155>>96499200>>96499205Look, I was just tryna talk about my HH IW wip conversions when someone asked what they'd be used for. Blame the other guy for going all reddit
>>96499225Based and redpilled.
>>96499215It's the most popular wargame so obviously it attracts the biggest assholes in the hobby. /40kg/ is filled with secondaries, literal schizo shitposters and tourists, barely anyone talks about the actual game. It's usually autistic arguments about lore, shitposting meltdowns and occasional modelposting. It's actually unbearable most of the time. At least it acts as a containment for the worst posters on this board, I guess.
>>96499215>>96499292BASED.
