>>96523001Man the paintjob is fantastic but that old dudes smile is so unpleasant to look at for some reason
>>96523035Yeah, it's kind of an ugly model.
>>96523035>>96523170I think that's the point, lads.
>>96523190Nah, the kid is also off. Either way, doesn't make it any more pleasant to look at.
>>96523035It's something about the slightly foetid and piss-soaked man's menace in his leer directed at the boy, one can almost imagine him leaning forward in a lecherous manner, his greasy stubble brushing the innocent angels cheek, the fumes of alcohol on his breath curling the boy's noise hairs, a bit of spittle wetting his neck as the grimey creep whispers into his ear "you can't play games with busts so this is off-topic for tg and belongs elsewhere, good as it may be"
Reposting since last thread just got nuked.
>>96523254>spoiler>still trying this shitlmao
>>96523254>you can't play games with busts so this is off-topic for tg and belongs elsewhere, good as it may beWhat do you mean? I use a bust of Hillary Clinton as my greater demon of Tzeentch.
Is there a good way to model wispy smoke/mist on a model? I'd like to try something where the model had smoke pouring out of its armor. Like the heavier than air smoke that Wolnir has in Dark Souls
Odd question but - if I can't find ultrasonic cleaner at hobby shops, what else could I use to shake (reusable thermo material) mold while it settle down to get rid of bubbles?
>>96523524GW tries a lot, especially with the Nighthaunt range. Dunno if I think it works all that well though.>>96523533Buy one online.
>>96523035Because he's a deceitful pirate, using the kid to get to the Treasure Island (that's the plot of the novel). >>96523254His look is directed at the island they are looking at.

>>96523982Very nice Hillary, you really captured her conniving snarl.
Slowly but steady getting there
This is attempt #5 on this practice sword of trying to do the gradient technique sorta style of power sword. I feel like it’d look better if there wasn’t 4 layers of other paint under this. Does anyone have tips or tricks for this style of power weapon painting? Or should I just slap green contrast paint and edge highlight my bladed and call it a day?
Asking again if anyone can recommend a good airbrush in the 100€ range. I do have the compressor already so it's only the airbrush that I need.I already have a bit of experience for one, just upgrading to my own model after playing with a friend's one for a while, it's very fun and a big part of my process now so I want one.
>>96524347AK Basic Line or equivalent is all you need.
>>96523982do you have any of the previous models?
>>96524347>MR.HOBBY PS289 Procon Boy WA, Double Action Platinum 0.3 Ver.2
>>96524409As in previous LoC sculpts? I don't, unfortunately. I might hunt for them at some point though.
>>96524318Biggest problem is your bright parts aren't nearly bright enough. It actually gets easier to have a convincing blend if you're going from near black to near white over a short distance. Block in your extreme shadow and extreme highlight spots first then bridge the gap. Lots of layers and fussing with paint while it's still wet is pretty normal.
>>96524429they are pricey now but they still very good
>>96524456I loved this one as a kid but couldn't afford it back then.
>>96524464I have a buddy trying to hunt down an affordable metal blood thirster
>>96524347>Asking again if anyone can recommend a good airbrush in the 100€ rangeFengda BD-180. It's what Nightshift uses.
>>96524318I think I know what you are attempting, but you are failing completely. Your gradient needs to go from an off black or a very dark colour, towards a saturated mid tone, after which it goes into a very bright colour, probably yellow. You need something like 12 gradient layers to pull it off from the look of things. After the gradients you should do a clean edge highlight with an off white. But if you want an easy way out, use fluorescent paints. Paint in white. Then thin the paint 1/2 with water and add thin layers until it covers completely. It's going to stand out.
>>96524464same samethat's warhammer in metal formi always loved that model since i saw it in the old painting (?) guide
I’m getting into wargaming.How are Ashland fine stone granules for sand? They’re available as decorative sand from an art store near me and I don’t know any other place of getting sand for free in my local area.You can see them being used in this video: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ceD_g9bn2CM&pp=ygUWU2FuZCBiYXNpbmcgbWluaWF0dXJlcw%3D%3DSorry about using mobile my pc is having troubles.

Working on some dog dudes. I'm surprised on how quickly it's going. Not too many scattered details and a lot of leather that can be painted roughly.I still have a bunch of stuff for each material, but I'm not tired of it yet
>>96524521>You need something like 12 gradient layerslol
>>96524662I mean I guess you could wet blend instead but if we're talking about glazing I'd say he's not far off the mark for getting a smooth transition.
>>96524583>https://es.wallapop.com/item/devorador-de-almas-khorne-warhammer-fantasy-815548375We're Americansyaay tariffs
>>96524318You definitely need to block in the start and end colour. It was dark green and white for my model, then I added two additional green tones between.I actually just searched YouTube for random tutorials for the actual layering tecniques.The fucked-up texture will definitely screw you when you try to do blending with thin layers.I can see that you are getting there, but you need the two extreme colours and you need more very thin layers to make the transitions disappear.
>>96524698>We're Americansmigrate
>>96524318I'm sorry for shilling a youtuber but Juan Hidalgo's video on necron blades is pretty good for understanding how to glaze and blend. I pretty much followed it when painting staves of these guys
>>96524464I got all the greater demons from that era. They're cute, really small though.
>>96524866I'm kinda jelly not gonna lie
slopping out some basecoats boy this thing is heavy
Who has an Agrellan Bandland like texture paint in a big pot?Preferably in the US
Good news and bad news. The good news is I painted for about 4 hours today.The bad news is that it amounted to basically nothing because I spent most of it glazing up a power sword that I then stripped because I hated how it was coming out. The transition was shit and I kept getting tide marks. So it may as well be like I didn't paint all.
>>96524866>really small though.the are meant to play with them, not to be ridiculous centerpieces like today
>>96525094practice is practice
>>96525131True, but they look a little weak compared to current models. They also weight a lot, especially the great unclean one.
>>96524721So pretty much the tutorial i followed was >paint entire sword dark tone (in my case caliban green) >then glaze on in thin layers mid tone from the middle of the blade up to the tip and down to the base (warpstone glow) >then finally glaze in the brightest color at the tip and base (moot green) I’ll try blocking in the next time, will look up more tutorials because the one I was going off of is a quick youtube short for a blue blade, I really wonder if green is just trickier to get good gradients with? >>96524755I was going to actually try Juan’s dry brushing power sword technique next, seems like he gets a similar gradient effect with a lot less hassle. Just wanted to try my hand at glazing first.
any pointers on how to paint a thin snow layero on top of this lad? shoud I do small white dots on top until it looks ok?
I just did a direct comparison between Rakarth Flesh and Griffon Claw. They're pretty close, but Griffon Claw is pretty noticeably darker. I expected a copycat to get closer.
>>96525094you have way too much paint on your brush if your glazes are getting tide marks. you're supposed to be lightly staining the surface, it should dry almost immediately.not sure which youtuber is promoting glazing for power swords, why not just layer and blend like a normal person?
>>96525054that just looks like standard drywall filler painted brown.
>>96523694>using the kid to get to the Treasure IslandJust a euphemism for butt sex.>The starfish, err.. x, marks the spot.
>>96525367I haven't done much glazing, only on one other sword. Still getting the hang of it though. Duncan does it in his Blood Angel bladeguard video.
>>96523035>for some reasonWhat do you mean for some reason? He’s missing teeth. It’s half snarl half smile. He’s Long John Silver. An alcoholic double crossing pirate.

>>96523035>You see, some men feared Pew, and some feared Flint, but Flint feared me.
When seeing videos about wet palettes I see the paint starts to kind of break down like this when they add water to thin it out, but in my case it still behaves like on a regular dry palette. Is it the type of paint or paper? Do I need/want the paint to break down like that?
>>96525054AK does decent size texture tubs
>>96521434And finished. Really enjoy working on each marine separately, it lets me focus my efforts on the bits that make them unique.
>>96525326You might consider applying a little texture to him. Accumulated snow noticably builds up over whatever it's resting on, even in small amounts. You could lay down some very translucent white over places the snow is likely to accumulate then dot around more similarly thinned white to build up some mottling and eventually solid shapes within those "zones". As a side note he's looking pretty decent so far.
I want to paint my deathwatch in a metallic black, i was thinking black primer, airbrush iron warriors, highlight with a brighter silver and then airbrush black legion contrast. Now im unsure if it wouldnt be smarter to apply the contrast paint with a normal brush. Anyone have experience with contrasts over metallic paints?
>>96524578Update:Saw Duncan Rhodes' video on basing sand and he mentions sand from a garden centre. I'm gonna go check out one near me and hope for the best.
whats the point of drybrush texture palette?
>>96526639Seems like it's for testing if you left the right amount of paint on the brush for drybrushing?
>>96526427Probably the paper, what do you use?
>>96526596you can buy black metallics and save some work.
>>96523255Coming along nicely, just gonna repeat myself that I like this sculpt a lot.>>96524640Nice and clean so far.>>96525018>it's the size of that rotating thingyNow that's a big boi>>96525326Can't help you with the snow since I've never painted anything like that but I like that yellow+cream>>96526510Very cool, the skeleton motiff looks really interesting. If I had to point something out you could've made flames a bit brighter towards the bottom.
>>96527659forgot Rin, whoops
>>96526596Contrast-type paints over metallics give a great sort of 'candied' effect, especially if you apply them over a gradient built from different shades of silvers. I highly recommend grabbing some of the vallejo "Metal Color" paints for this. Depending on the color you might have to thin the contrast, I've noticed black templar specifically ending up more opaque than the other colors I've used, it isn't necessarily a bad effect but it might not be the look you're going for.
>>96526510looks very cool, and the paintjob is crisp. Great stuff, anon.
>>96527659>>96527940Thanks anons.
My buddy printed too many terminators by accident, now we both have too many terminators
>>96527984>too many terminatorsNo such thing.
>>96527984termies are always great, no matter the flavor
>>96527984>Too many terminatorsYour bloodline is weak
>>96526596>Anyone have experience with contrasts over metallic paints?I do, I wouldn't use black legion to achieve the effect you're looking for unless you thin it out until you achieve a translucence that allows for the metallic undercoat to subtly show through. BL has a really nice coverage so it will show very little of the undercoat beneath unless it's a particularly bright or saturated colour.Gw black templar is not as covering and might be a better choice as long as you brush it on nicely and don't do a thick coat. It does have a somewhat greenish hue to it, instead of the warm black BL has.I wouldn't use an airbrush in either case, you want some control over the brush strokes to leave a thinner coat on the prominent areas and really let the metallic basecoat show through. A careful metallic drybrush afterwards can sell the effect even more.>>96525326I feel like there aren't many areas where snow would stay on, I assume he isn't doing a living statue performance and the base suggests he's not experiencing a heavy blizzard, so not a lot of sense for snow to accumulate on him except for the boots.>>96527984>>96527991Fully agree. Cool termies. I'm itching to paint more terminators but I'm waiting for GW to release updated assault ones, I'm thinking either 11th ed box or past its release anyway
Finally finished Prince Vordhrai lads
>>96527984mega blocks terminators
Working on skaven
>>96528100Man, those tattered wings are amazing!
>>96528289I've liked your rats so far and these are looking good too.
He paints SHADOWS on a 3D object. SHADOWS!
>>96529278Back to gpg you fucking mongrel
>>96528518Thanks anon. It's kind of hard to photo the bastard coz he's so big and detailed. Few more details here. Tried to make the base unique with zombies coming from graves and shit. There's also a dead ninja (from the old 80s WFB Nippon faction) on the base as a little Easter egg type thing.
....aaaand I forgot to crop because I'm a phoneposting faggot
>>96528100>>96529392>>96529406Very cool! I especially like the colors you've used for the dragon, really drives home that it's undead.
I think i did decently so far
>>96529659I mean it looks cool but it feels more like a modern military camo than something a fantasy knight would wear
>>96529902is ww2 camo modern ?
>>96529924Depends on the system you go by.
