Brainstorming a banner, any suggestions?
those older berzerkers are so much fun to paint compared to these new trim monstrosities that immediately curb stomp my enthusiasm>>96866120i would have also suggested skulls skulls and some more skulls
Reposting the masking tape armour inspired by the dendra panoply and WW1 body armours to the current thread.
Workin more on the barbarian but happy with snek
/40kg/ bully patrol is on deck. Post high quality 40k models only, unlike white consul fag in previous thread. >>96866120>>96866149Like this>>96866168>>96866297Fuck off to /awg/ and /hwg/
>>96866466trying too hard faggot, fuck off back to your containment thread posthaste
>>96866466Not even a bait at this point. Kys.
These guys got some weathering added to them
>>96866800I'm a bit tired of seeing marines here all the fucking time but these look very good anon.
>>96866800Very, very nice paintjob, anon. Also cool to see some Dark Angels.
My minis are on banner again, nice.Anyone knows some good instructional video on glazing? I'm trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong but just entering "glazing" in YT search mostly shows "influencers" stuff with memes, "talking heads" (aka not showing actual work, just talking about it) and actual painting on 2-3x speed.
>>96866832>painting on 2-3x speed.You can reduce playback speed.
>>96864508Thank you kind bastard.Do you prefer TTC or Citadel paints? In the past I've noticed metallics don't always mix well with other metallics (I was probably using older Citadel formula paints at that time). Your recipe calls for mixing metallics. Does either TTC/Citadel have better mixing qualities (or other factors you prefer)?
>>96866091Any significant difference in using satin varnish instead of gloss varnish to prep a model for oil weathering?
>>96867256If satin is all you have, by all means use satin.
>>96867256The oils will tend to stain a bit more, but in return you'll have less headaches about beading up and such. Gloss is really more if you're only interested in panel lining and maybe a pin wash, with satin otherwise being the default "base" for weathering. Or at leats that's how it seems to be over on the scale model side of things.
>>96866120Life through death in latin
>>96866297Very drippy snek
>>96867289Why even bother responding>>96867366Cool thanks for the info anon it's appreciated
>>96867469It barely matters, mate. Just google it next time.
>>96866802Nobody gives a fuck what you're tired of faggot
>>96867489Once again why bother responding.And if any question on this thread is > Just google itThen why even have this thread. Might as well have it deleted.Tldr get fucked 'mate.'
What are the best pre-mixed weathering oil washes? I'm finally too tired to mix my own out of oil paint and thinner.First one I considered ordering was Mr. Hobby Mr. Weathering etc. etc. in a couple of colours. Are there superior choices?
>>96867505go back
>>96867522Crying about space marines is what redditors do because nobody cares about their fodder range made to get fucked by space marines
>>96867530again, go back
I'm having trouble getting full coverage with light flesh over a black primer. What would be a good base coat to put over the black and under the flesh tone? It's griffon claw/ Rakarth flesh.
>>96867567Probably a red
>>96867235TTC, they're a bit pricier though. Citadel metallics are fine too honestly, I wouldn't get new paints if you still have some of these. Duncan's just cover a bit better and have a somewhat nicer finish I feel. Plus they don't come in those awful pots. Dragon's Gold and Platinum Crown look VERY similar to Retributor Armor and Canoptek Alloy, just a bit better quality. I've never owned Liberator Gold, judging by Stahlys chart Glistening Gold is a bit warmer but it shouldn't make much of a difference really. Don't know what you were using but I've mixed these two brands with no issues.
>>96867567brown, wine red, purple
>>96867567I would try yellow ochre, aside from mentioned purple and red. I remember that some old paintings used green for some reason but maybe somebody with art degree could confirm.
Okay, finished these two since red coat guy was pretty much done yesterday already and these required only black and purple highlights.Crap, with my work pace I might never actually finish my backlog.
>>96867513redditor syndrome where you have to ask asinine questions
>>96867923go back, you're not in /40kg/ in case you didn't notice
i wonder if the professional painters who posted all their techniques and tricks here like 18 years ago regret not gatekeeping their income streams, even if they were shit income streams without the market interest?
>>96868045making money off internet was not really a thingjust anons enjoying their cool little hobby together
>>96868098yes they made it in real life at cons and shit picking up commissions to paint figures, obviously. are you dense?
>>96868045obsessing over monetizing every hobby or minute of life is a fairly modern trend (and/or necessity)hobbies should be about joy, relaxation, fullfillment...i don't think anyone trully regrets being passionate about something and wanting to share it with the world
>>96868155>i don't think anyone trully regrets being passionate about something and wanting to share it with the worldTell that to the National Socialists
>>96868098>just anons enjoying their cool little hobby togetherI mean we're still doing this here for the most part
>>96868155>obsessing over monetizing every hobby or minute of lifeHoly shit, I absolutely don't understand this. My family frequently asked me why I won't do photography for a living or make YT account about painting my minis and so on. If I would try to turn these into money, I would most likely start to hate it instead.
Tried to take a better picture with a ring light. Idk how to get close enough without zooming in.
>>96868166Why would they, of all people in history, regret anything?
>>96868190now you have some kind of blur filter on
>>96868198Looks like AI postprocessing.
>>96868198>>96868205I'm emailing the picture to myself since posting from phone has retorted captcha times. It gets way bigger / blurrier when I do that though.
>>96866802>>96866802Thx anons glad you like em!>>96867641Your dino dudes are spectacular looking anon
>>96868210Odd. Have you tried some third party software for photo capture, as suggested last time? Thing is, many phones try to "fix" photos on their own, which ends like this (honestly, they kind have to since phones have tiny ass sensors and very short lenses).
>>96868224no, just the normal camera. I will try that.
>>96868210Don't worry about it anon, just post your pics without any regard for the comments received.
>>96868190There are a couple photography guides in our MEGA, give it a look. From what I can tell your guy looks pretty solid though!
>>96866818Ty too, didn't mean to quote the other anon twice lol>>96868224Nta but I've never had any success with taking good phone pics. Even with 3rd party apps like Open Camera I've had weird AI fuckery applied to my shots. Google Pixel 7a. Had to dig up an old DSLR camera from the basement to get any nice photos. Can honestly recommend getting a cheap used camera for anyone struggling with bad phone pics honestly, it's pretty fun shooting pictures with a real camera compared to a phone. Plenty of settings and knobs to mess around with and the sound of the shutter click is fucking sweet
>>96868172Lol reddit and FB groups are legitimately becoming a better place for that.
>>96868320Feel free to use them and leave here then
>>96868326nah, I'll still visit here because some of you actually post models and don't regurgitate your bile from pol or v. kthnx
>>96868359Then shut up and post models
OK I used Lightroom and messed with the contrast. Still kinda blurry, not sure what to do about that. Getting a better black background on Friday so hopefully that will help.
>>96868374I have literal uranium in my room and I somehow get less noise than you, it's honestly astonishing and I fully mean that.
>>96868374This is serviceable. Bros lookin pretty good. You could try adding a little more shading to the tabard and I think some edge highlights on the gold would really help him pop.
>>96868396I'm probably retarded, but this is my setup (I turn off the room light obviously).
>>96868413forgot pic
>>96868422NTA but this looks good, must be something with your phone camera then. Play around with the settings or get a 3rd party app
>>96868374>>96868413>>96868422Not a bad mini, looks nice already but what >>96868403 said is rightAlso your black levels are all fucked, picrel is more akin to what you should aim for, and you should put the mini on a plinth or something to elevate it a bit so you don't see the cardboard.
goddamn taking the mould lines off the whf goblins is a pain in the ass
>>96868374that's way better, it looks great>>96868422do you put the phone in the holder? way behind the ring? wich camera do you use? telephoto? wide angle? ultra wide? (not sure how many cameras yours has)as a general rule, set the iso to the minimum, you already have a lot of light so adjust exposure by lowering shutter speed and use the timer, set quality and resolution to max and lowest jpg compression, or shoot raw and render with lightroom but that's too much work>>96868288>Google Pixel 7a.pixel's camera app (and camera) is actually pretty good, i'm actually using a port on my non-pixel phone
One last progress picture. Couldn't finish him today like I wanted, I'm pretty starved for time this week.>>96868211Thank you anon! Your marines are pretty damn stellar themselves.
>>96868367I do post models, bitch. Now fuck off.
>>96868367>>96868665just kiss already
This is the largest batch of miniatures I'm working on at once in years. It was supposed to be just the 9 warriors on the left and the guy with the spy glass on the right. But I keep finding artillery crew every single time I go fish for miniatures to paint from my collection. Abd they just keep increasing. They seem to multiply like duckweed.
>>96866120Hang some skulls off the bottom. Or mount some on the pole
>>96866802>acting like wip threads are filled with them (they arent despite marines are the most popular minis by far)maybe youre the one who should go back
Anyone have clever ideas for making DEldar Wracks with Skaven?
>>96868843>getting this assblastedyou can get your fill of marine wankery in 40kg and hhg
>>96866800These are amazing as usual.
Trying my hand at grisaille.I intended to do the entire 14 model team tonight but my eyes hurt after squinting at this thing for 40 minutes. Doing all of these mummy wrappings is a little tedious but I only have two and every other model is some kind of zombie/skeleton.I need to edge highlight the metal but i’ll do that tomorrow with the 2nd mummy.
>>96869011The back with a more normal nmm shape
>>96867891very nice!
Star player for Blood Bowl.
>>96869121are those FDM layer lines on the base? the rest of it looks great but that base looks fucking atrocious, just pay the $0.05 for a base off ebay
I wanted to do a whole haunted house diorama for Halloween, but I couldn't do it in time. However, I did paint up the Mystery, Inc gang and their ride.
>>96866800I’m coming around to liking vehicles on bases, where does one get rino or land raider size bases?Also very nice DA’s anon.
Had some fun painting my Skatros and I went back and gave my Marshal a green osl to match his battleline friends. I still have to weather them down but I wouldn't turn my nose up at these if they were on the table.
>>96869927Forgot pic. Good job, me
>>96870112Hahaha, look at his silly legs!
does anyone here have any experience with masking fluid? I saw a video of someone using it and it looked super handy, but I wonder if it's actually more limited than it seems.
>>96870162It does work well for masking things. Not sure what you're expecting from it though?Unrelated. Man I hate static grass. It's so messy to do.
>>96869442I remember you from the terrain thread. Good work Anon!
convincing egg sac or is there something I can improve?
>>96870326I would just add some more, and blend them in a little more. but it's a fine start.You could also roll some thin little noodely bits to snake them up from the sides. Though that's easier with greenstuff, milliput is a little brittle when working with it.
>>96870326Water down pva and make strings of slime. Just practice before doing it on a painted mini.
>>96870344>milliput is a little brittle when working with itI thought it was fine to adjust if I wet it a little, much less tearing that wayI'll definitely put down some larger clutches on the monster bases though>>96870350don't have any pva but I'll grab some from the store and give it a try
>>96870369Look for UHU glue, pva does not really get stingy.
>>96866120one large skull from from the front with open mouth and slightly leaning back, Blooud leaking from eye sockets and mouth on both sides. Maybe a bullet hule in the middle of the forehead? Black backgroungl.
>>96870112Nice! People shit on the funny stilt man but I think he has a certain goofy charm to him. Oh and if I could suggest something - try to make the centers of your lightsources for OSL a bit brighter, Right now the glow looks like it's the same color as the lenses
>>96869011>Doing all of these mummy wrappings is a little tediousThis seems like a nobrainer use for washI think you fuck yourself with that dark baseA normal gray, bone colored base, and yellowish dark wash would have achieved all that and more
Drift tank suki
Got the complicated base mostly done. Need to add a bit more splash, and the water texture needs to finish drying
>>96866091dang where are these drow from?
>>96867641these look awsome manIm not too big a fan of the new krox but your slook fantastic
1 day project workin on better assembly and thinning paints still
>>96871054from what game are these bambu zombies from, ive seen them here few times before and meant to ask
>>96866120Need more skulls
>>96871031Eldfall Chronicles. Expensive but Unicool quality compensate for that.
>>96871114They are aos warcry duders from gw
>>96868982>>96868607>>96869851Ty anons!>I’m coming around to liking vehicles on bases, where does one get rino or land raider size bases?Dunno how large a base would be appropriate for a Rhino but I got this ine from Fluid 3d Workshop
>>96871155>this inethis one*
>>96871114Rotmire Sneed from Warcry. They're also a normal Nurgle unit now, so they should still be avalible even if their Warcry box released years ago
>>96870902neat
I’m seizing the means of Rhino production one sprue at a time. I use these to bash up tanks for my dudes, but I’m not paying $40 for a beat up kit every time I want to try out something new.
>>96871230WIP on my section of tanks. Working on a magnetized plow and mine roller for when I eventually make a full tank platoon.
>>96871230very cool and im sure you paid arm and a leg for all the primo parts to make the moulds
>>96871257Thank you. Yeah, I had to start with a new sprue to avoid recasting any damage or old glue. From there, it was a long while of eBay and marketplace to cobble together the metal pieces. The nice thing is that the metal can be stripped much more aggressively than plastic, so those parts didn’t need to be new.
>>96871256that's a cool repurpose of the vindicator cannon
>>96871294Thanks, man. This whole army is recast Diggas, so I wanted a somewhat Orkified profile on what was clearly once a Guard vehicle. Love the blue on that. Oh, shit, and it’s a GorkaMorka buggy chopped into a tank. Sick.
>>96871294I did similar.>>96871230And I should have done this first
>>96871312slap on some hot glue and balsa wood and jobs a good 'un
Added depth to wing an si;ver highlights. As advised here.
>>96871494
>>96871500 and added bloody tear to statue, I think it looks neat
/40kg/ sucks I'm hanging out here from now on
I just got an airbrush and vallejo primerslooked around and found conflicting answers, so I ask the fa/tg/uy /wip/pers:Do you thin your primer when using an airbrush? either with thinner, flow improver or water or a mix of them OR plain
>>96871504Just don't shit this place up, we do our best to keep it civil here.>>96871521I use them straight out of the bottle and never had any issues.
>>96866120Maim, kill, burn, but most important: be kind
>>96871521check OP links
>>96871521Adding little of Vallejo flow improver is good idea.
>>96871521The one and only time I used Vallejo primer: no.Sty-nyl-rez/Ultimate Primer: no.Mr Surfacer 1200 and 1500: yes.
Went for harsher highlights (right pic), Im not sure if its better.
Why is it so hard to strip Chaos Black paint, compared to other sprays like Corax White and other lighter colors?
>>96871854it has a better smell for one, or atleast used to for some reasonIPA and her good friend the toothbrush fixes all
>>96871835I don't think it's a downgrade at least.
>>96871835the idea is goo but i think it's to much, i'do do fewer lines of the highlight, like half of what you did
>>96871521The most I use with it is flow improver. Mind that the primer supposedly needs 24 hours to cure, I'm not sure how long it actually takes but it does help not make it easy to scratch off.
>>96868714As does your collection of liquor bottle caps. :)But seriously, these look very promising - please keep updating!
>>96869851I get wooden bases from Blick, but if you use too much texture paint on the wooden base it can warp. I've only had that happen once but it was/is pretty annoying.
>>96869851>>96872102you can also get a square meter sheet of the stuff cheaper than a small 10 piece bag of basesbut unless you are into scenery too and just need few i would not recommend it
>>96869851Printer.
>>96871930>>96871835Thx for the feedback ! You know what, Im gonna do the harsh version for now, and decide later because its basically just a filter to apply to tone it down.
>>96871835Good idea, I dig it.
Here he is after the water has had a bit more time to dry
>>96872642before you do the rest you should slightly tint the water clear water looks good too but little color would really sell the effect and that splash
>>96870902>>96872642I'm not 100% sure but I think the way to do realistic water splashes is to get the resin to the right consistency and then turning it upside down. that looks more like he got shot in the foot by a lightning ball or something.
>>96872853I think it's reasonable realistic for a splash. Picrel is what a tank looks like driving through similar water for example vs your pic.The biggest issue I think is that I came up with the idea and executed it without realizing this splash effect really only makes sense if it was on the forward foot landing, it makes less sense being on the back foot at the end of the stride. I think it still gets the point across but it's a little less natural than I want.>>96872741What color? I'm going to add a bit more painted on bubbles and foamy bits, but it tinting it makes sense as well.
>>96873006dont touch the splash its perfect imhoslight dark green drubrush on the bottom and just a tint of blue would be my suggestion, if you make the water green or muddy you end up with the same situation so you cant really tell it apart from the dry base good luck anon
