I'll probably smooth out the OSL and the purple smoke a bit tomorrow but Ahriman is done otherwise
>>97048099Oooh baby that's gorgeous
>>97048099
>>97048099pure sexo
>>97048099>made it onto a bannerFeels good man>>97048099Noice,
finished, not the best but i was really tired by the end.im happy with the result desu
>>97048214i like them but why are they all on different sized bases
>>97048234A lot of SM stuff goes on 40s now
>>97048260doesnt that get confusingi mean i remember when they went from 20mm to 32mm but mixing bases up is new to mejust my 2 cents but why wouldnt you just base them 20mm and use whatever bluetac base the current edition needs this year so you can play everything from 1-10th
>>97048099>>97048214
>>97048291>doesnt that get confusinghow?As to your other statement. You do you
>>97048234thanksidk im pretty new to warhammer, i just painted miniatures before.These are from the killteam starter set
I saw some guy use a tray of water when scraping mould lines. Dipping his knife and sanding paper in there. Should I be doing this?
email verification
>>97048476nope you want to see the results of youre scrapingdude might have been sanding resin and using water so he doesnt have to breath it or use a mask
>>97048490He was sanding a normal gw plastic mini. You could see the results well. He dipped his tools in there. Also cleaned off the sanded off plastic bits off the model with a toothbrush, which he also dipped in water.
>>97048214What did you use for the reds? I've been trying to figure out magpies but dislike GW insisting on Khorne Red for them.
>>97048291Bases sizes generally aren't mixed in units. That set is a collection of models from different units hence why some are on 40's while others are on 32's. You wouldn't see a mix like that in a normal unit, except where you attach an HQ to a unit that has a different base size.
>>97048515hello freni primed with a black primer, basecoated AK Wine Red, Washed with Army Painter Strong Tone, Layered with Army Painter Fanatic Dragon Red and highlighted with Pro Acryl Orange.But that mix is just what i have already, I couldve used just army painter fanatic too.
>>97048476for plastic? no. for resin, some people will wet sand it to keep dust down but idk wtf why they'd be dipping the knife
>>97048503well i see no reason for doing any of that but washing your models before priming them is time tested good luck charm if anything
>>97048503I can understand sanding some miliput that is gap filling plastic or sanding resin but I don't see much point for just gw plastic. If there are any spots that you want super smooth or are too delicate to scrape you:>fine grit sand paper, folded into V >gently, don't use much pressure do light circles>soft flat brush to brush clean>plastic cement with built in brush like tamiya or mr hobby, use it to gently brush the part you sanded to make it smoothOnce you've primed them you won't notice.
>>97048615*wet sanding miliput or resin, my brain be mush.
>>97048567Really? I see that Wine Red is also dark, but I assume the brown wash and the shading has drawn a lot more vibrancy out of it if that's the case. Looks nice in any case, kind of like the DoW2 boxart render.
>>97048631Yeah the steps do make a difference.Thank you! Thats what I was going for, its my favorite rendition of them
Is there a tierlist for best synthetic brushes? I'm currently using an old kid's taklon brush that I had laying around and I've noticed that it's much better than the craft nylon brushes I was previously using. I had so much trouble taking care of nylon brushes that I was wondering whether my technique was just terrible but now I'm thinking that maybe they should only be used for watercolors and such.
>>97048851Honestly with how cheap they are just go to a high end crafts store like Blicks or what have you and buy one of each of the sable-replacement synthetics and try them all out. I did that once and ended up with like 6 different synthetics for the price of 1 sable brush, tried them all and still didn't like them -- at least, didn't like them nearly as much as real sable. Of the ones I tried I liked the Princeton Aqua Elite and the da Vinci Cosmotop Spin the best, but they still were a far cry from a real sable brush.
First time doing decals and yeah it works, pretty easy but I never want to do this for an entire army.Does anyone know of a great high quality acrylic paint range with the primary colors? I want to exercise limited palettes and none of the hobby brands just make “Primary Cyan”
>>97048885>Does anyone know of a great high quality acrylic paint range with the primary colors? I want to exercise limited palettes and none of the hobby brands just make “Primary Cyan”I can vouch for Liquitex Acrylic Gouache, it's great paint but the big downside is that the bottle size is much larger so the price is quite a bit steeper. $10 to $15 a bottle for 59mL bottles instead of the $4ish for 17mL you get for hobby paints. Cheaper per mL, sure, but much higher up front cost. Still, if you're doing limited palettes it's not that expensive.Also, try the Zorn palette, it's a fun one. Titanium white, ivory black, medium red and yellow ochre/oxide.
>>97048879I use the blick wonderwhite brushes as beater brushes for base coating and such. $2 - $3 a brush for a good soft synthetic isnt bad at all.
Batch varnished and shaded 30 zerks tonight. Finally getting a significant bit of pile of shame done. Gonna take a break have a drink then dab on some blooooood
>>97048934And of course now i finally see the guy thats been sitting and drying at an angle for 30 mins lmao.

>>97048943>BROTHER I HAVE FALLEN
I find it tricky to highlight red tones. Do you like what I did for this guy? What could I do to make it better? I don’t think adding orange highlights would help much what do you think?
>>97049120Looks decent anon. It comes off as a deliberate scratchy or sketchy style. I usually highlight red with evil sunz scarlet or wild rider red if im buiding up from a nuln oil'd mephiston red. Some metal weathering would go a long way
>>97049120When highlighting red you need to decide if you want the highlight to be a warm or cold color. You can take your existing red and add a little white to make a pink for a cold highlight, adjust how much white until it looks about right. For a warm highlight you can add a little yellow or orange to your red. Other option is what you did here, make the red the brightest and shade everything else. As you paint you'll get more experience and brush control, which will improve everything else that you do.
>>97049120not to be a dick but if it was me I would worry about getting your base colors down so you can't see black through it before I worry about trying to highlight it.
>>97049120make the piston brighter metal as it's getting used
>start painting my first model>pick a space marine>use black primerif I don't put direct light over it, it looks almost black. (yes I know I just gave it one blue layer)I'm probably being paranoid on my first fucking model but should I avoid black primer? Maybe I should've added gray/white lights before painting blue?Or maybe the blue is okay and now I gotta paint with a lighter blue over the dark blue?
>>97049280Blues rarely show up well in the dark. And sometimes even bright blues will appear purple under low light conditions. It is just a foible of being closer to black on the light spectrum. That is fine as a base colour, but you do need some brighter layering on it. And then the final highlighting will help as well. Eyes define shape and brightness by contrast. At the moment your eyes will have trouble defining much on the model since it is black and blue only. You gotta trust the process and get to having all your base colours on there before things will really start to take shape. And heads up that any other bright colour on the model will make the blue look even darker due to comparative framing.
>>97049280Black primer is fine. You could always do gray if you think it's too dark.>Maybe I should've added gray/white lights before painting blue?>Or maybe the blue is okay and now I gotta paint with a lighter blue over the dark blue?Lot of people do the latter anyway.
>>97049333>>97049359I see, thanks anons. I'm planning on using several models as test models so I'll try my best
>>97049280use the color primer that will give you the shade you want when you paint over it. if that's black then use black. if it's gray or white or brown then use gray or white or brown. you're only on your first model don't gaslight yourself into bad habits that you will spend the rest of your life coping about.don't be this guy who has been coping for so long it's the only language he speaks now>>97049333you got a darker shade than you were expecting. that's ok. you're learning now. you don't have to convince yourself that it's actually what you wanted and your eyes are playing tricks on you. in the future if you aren't sure how something will turn out I recommend testing it first on a spare piece of something, or even just a plastic spoon. try painting the same color over different primers and decide which shade you like best.
>>97049116counting my blessings he wasn't trampled to pieces in a berserker stampede>>97049398Good luck ugly bastard anon
>>97049406My bad for trying to educate anon about why it looks like it does I suppose.
>>97049406>don't be this guy who has been coping for so long it's the only language he speakswhat on earth are you on about
>Speedpainting a terrain piece>Don't register for a fucking HOUR that the gold I'm using isn't very shiny>Or gold>Suddenly something clicks>Now I have a brown towerfuuuck how do I recoup from this fuck I don't want to repaint it
>>97049450PicrelP.S. not colorblind just retarded
Progress!
>>97049461Bruh that looks fine. Give it a 5 second drybrush of gold or any metallic desu if you really need.
>>97049461Legit aged gold, do some brighter spot highlights and you're good.
>>97049461Looks better than it would with just a metallic gold I think. Like the other guy said, a dry brush of some metallic gold or silver will probably be very nice.Also that terrain is really cool.
>>97049439be honest with yourself and everyone here. there's exactly one reason it looks the way it does: because he painted blue over black. the poster observed that the shade was darker than he was expecting and even came up with the correct solution himself. the only correct advice was "yes it looks darker because you painted it over black. if you paint it over gray or white it will look brighter." pilpul about how blue can look purple and contrast will make it look better won't help that poster get the shade he was expecting, it's just teaching him how to gaslight himself into thinking that not getting the color he wanted is actually fine.
>>97049602I was explaining the part about why he couldn't see it at all except under direct light and how due to black and blue being so close the blue won't stand out until the black colour is something else. At no point did I encourage him either way on using black primer or not using black primer. And until he layers over it with a mid tone or sees with with any other brighter colour on the model he won't have a real idea what the final result will look like overall. And that would be where layer interactivity comes in which is what you are leaning into.
>>97049548what the hell is aged gold? gold doesn't tarnish or form any kind of patina. there's gold recovered from tombs that's thousands of years old and looks the same as when it was put there.>>97049654>why he couldn't see it at all except under direct lightyeah because it's a dark color in dark lighting. you could have the same thing happen with a dark red even though red is on the other end of the spectrum.
>>97049398Just so we can settle down that other autist that seems to think there is some conspiracy to get people to prime in black or whatever his hangup is. The brightness of your prime will affect the overall brightness of your paint job due to paint being translucent to varying decrees. The colour of your prime affects how many layers you might need to reach opacity, hence why priming in the main colour you intend to use can be beneficial. A nice neutral or darker neutral grey (e.g. Panzer Grey) is usually a nice middle ground where it doesn't swing in either direction too much whilst still being bright enough to discern detail whilst looking at it before painting. Where a black or a dark brown prime can come in handy though is if you intend to stipple on layers for free weathering/distressed effects but that is probably something best left until later once you understand layering and layer interaction better. Right now just get used to applying coats to reach opacity and then working from there.
>>97049477>>97049548>>97049558good news! I did NOT use the wrong paintbad news! I did NOT shake the bottle anywhere near long enough and I got all the dookie brown paint
>>97049662Just adding some extra contrast to the gold is all. We are painting little plastic guys that cant cast a natural shadow themselves and need some help.

>>97049871I would've sent my SS by now but my stupid chud LGS hasn't gotten my plastic soldier man in yet.
>>97049099very nice, I love the pig and loot token
>>97049901F
>>97049785>little plastic guys that cant cast a natural shadow themselvesoh not this shit again
>see cool model on IG>like it and continue to the profile>50% of all minis are painted black>the painter is a tranny that works for the GW army painter teamMany such cases.
>>97050051You need to go back.
>>97049099How did you get the bright green? Was it primed white?
>>97050067i like how this commend kinda implies priming other than black is outlandish
>>97048503>Also cleaned off the sanded off plastic bits off the model with a toothbrush, which he also dipped in waterNot sure why the dude was dipping his knife in water but I can see why he did this. Sometimes when sanding or shaving off mold lines all the accumulating plastic dust can make it hard to see whether you've successfully cleaned the model or not. Using a wet brush to wipe away the plastic dust lets you inspect it properly
>>97050188priming everything black is an absolute meme
>>97050208I do that and it works fine.Just work your paint coats bro, its not a sprint.If you just want to have something done to play quickly then you prime light gray and use contrasts or w/e
>>97048893Is the fact that it’s gouache make it function differently from normal acrylics?
>>97048885This is exactly what you want
>>97050208This.I like priming in browns.
Got some Necromunda reinforcements done last night. For never having done a fire effect bigger than the palm of a mini's hand, I think it worked all right. Happy with the rest too; aside from some issues with the sculpts (the Frostgrave stuff's mold lines are resistant to cleanup) they went pretty smoothly.
>>97050208>First army i ever painted was Emperor's children>Mfw trying to paint light purple over a black primer
>>97050601Drybrush some white over it. Automatic shading while keeping your purple vibrant.
>>97050618This was years ago mind you. I gave up after like 5 noise marines and just primed the rest white
>>97050316afaik gouache is just watercolor, so they don't cure and can be forever reactivated with water
>>97050330Golden is quality
>>97048750Looks like something you would find in the underdark
>>97048750what model is this from? I like it
>>97051358It's Brother Lazarus from the dungeon dweller seriesIt's a reaper miniAll of the dungeon dwellers minis are really fun to paint
>>97051374Oh wait it's actually the female plague doctor"Sister Hazel"
>>97050033What shit? Painting shadows?
>>97051378>>97051374thanks man looks really cool
>>97051417the idea that miniatures don't cast shadows and associated schizophrenia like "an object painted black won't look black you have to paint it gray or dark blue to make it look black."
>>97050316The name is just a meme. It's just a regular acrylic. They call it "gouache" because it is supposed to have properties similar to watercolor gouache, but those properties are exactly what makes it good for our purposes -- highly pigmented, matte, very finely ground pigment, etc.
>>97051500well...
>>97051550he's shitposting, don't reply
>>97051500I'm sorry anon, maybe you should get your eyes checked? Sorry for your lots.
>>97051584He's correct, light scales. You paint lighting because you want a specific lighting direction and quality, not because light doesn't work at smaller sizes.
Anon B from Warsaw - your package was just sent. If everything goes well, it should arrive this week.
>>97051667One person's opinion.
>>97051832It's not a matter of opinion. Light and how it functions is not subjective.
STOP IT PLEASE
>>97051846So all light behaves exactly the same way? Careful troll-kun.
>>97051667>hethat's (You) though
>>97049772Oh fuck OFF
>>97052006No, the same light behaves the same way at a smaller scale.. until you hit atomic levels.>>97052011It's not.
>>97052029Bro, there's a tick on your hand. You're gonna get lima beans.
>>97048061>>97049871>Baker-san appears to be busy so here's a fresh breadThanks, ladz. I was at Tanksgiving on Saturday and Sunday was yardwork day.
>>97051667>not because light doesn't work at smaller sizesIf your miniature is 1:100 then the photons hitting it also need to be 1:100 which is physically impossible.but also the "cloth" on the miniature would have to be perfectly accurate scale cloth at 1:100 as well, and so on for every detail on the miniature.
>>97051942Would you rather we talk about all the semen filled baked goods we're sending each other instead? Because that shit is gay, the light discussion is at least on-topic.
>>97052087Trying too hard, shitposter-kun.
>>97052068Correct, but this will not matter visually until you get to an irrelevantly small size.
>>97052046o7
>>97052092Jerking off into the mix before I put the cookies in the oven was not hard work in the slightest.
>>97052087>>97052157shut the fuck up, you sweaty unfunny retard.
I have been reading, posting, and watching about the hobby for years, but never really paint, because each time I do, my attempts are childlike. I don’t accumulate an absurd amount of supplies or models, but definitely have put some money into the hobby. Is it worth actually trying to sit down and try actually participating in the hobby or should I just give it up?
>>97052166You think it's a fucking joke? Go ahead then, eat the cookies retard.
>>97052157I cannot even begin to fathom how sad and pathetic your life must be that you come to a thread about a hobby you don't even participate in just to try and shit the place up. You should really consider getting some help and maybe trying an actual hobby you could spend time on.
>>97052172Do you get any enjoyment out of the process? My first attempts were dog shit too but l enjoyed it and got better over time
>>97052172You got a couple hundred bad paint jobs in you that need to come out before you get to the good ones. Better start now.People who are decent from the start have a background in some other visual art.
>>97052199I hope one of you delusional fucks in denial get my cookies, I really do.I'm guaranteed not the only one who does it, but I'm definitely the only one with the balls to tell you about it before you eat them.
>>97052172As the other anon said, do you like painting? Because it takes a good bit of practice to be good, and if you neither enjoy the process nor the results that's going to make said practice rather torturous for you. And, frankly, even if you get to the point of enjoying the results it won't be much fun to paint if you don't like the actual painting part.
>>97052220Your father is still disappointed in you, you are not the kind of son he wanted.
>>97052247Your sad attempts at grade school ad hominem aren't going to magically remove the semen from the cookies.
>>97052264you are not capable of making scrambled eggs you fucking failure, let alone baking a single cookie
>>97052285Tell yourself whatever you want, I'm going to be sitting here jerking off as the SS pics come in waiting to see what dumbass fuck ate my seed.
>>97052318i expect you to post pics of the baking, with timestamps, after anon receives them, you know, so you don't look like a sad prepubescent edgy troll
>>97052477Oh yes let me just go back in time, unsend the package, unbake the cookies, and unblow my load into the batter so you can have a picture of it all.No picture means it didn't happen and you're perfectly safe to eat the cookies, you're absolutely right.
>>97052490this is actually embarassing to read, just stop
>>97052490no no, don't be confused, i'm no participant in any of this, just an amused spectator
The worst part about zoomer shitposting is how incredibly boring and not funny it is. What the fuck happened, it's like the most flanderized soccer mom is trying to be edgy.
>>97052513>just stopOh yeah, that's what gets me going.
Imagine being scared of painting light colors over black primer and never seeing the nicer blend you get with it.
Each time I apply matt varnish, it partially desaturate colors. Effect is stronger with brush than airbrush and honestly don't know what to do to mitigate this. At the other hand, I feel that I must varnish the minis to prevent paint chipping.Anyone ran into similar problem?
>>97053228>Effect is stronger with brush than airbrush and honestly don't know what to do to mitigate this.That's how colors and light works, anon. Glossier = more vivid and vice versa. There's no way to prevent or mitigate this. People usually use more vivid paints if they plan on going flat or ultra flat.
>>97052068you're so confident about your wrongness
>>97053658stop arguing with yourself
>>97053674>no I can't possibly have fallen for bs it must be a samefag
>>97052046I hope you had a good time, Johnny-anon!>>97050541I really like the colors you've used, very eye-catching>>97049463Lovely shades of green>>97049461I actually like how it looks, that metallic contrasts nicely with your grey>>97049099Cute!>>97048934it's cool seeing so many painted dudes at once>>97048214Nice work anon, those orange highlights really make them pop
>>97054090Thanks Anon, I really love blood ravens and Im happy how they turned outIm now painting the Plague Marines
Is it okay if my SS just wants random models, if I buy a kit of some models and I keep 1 and give my santee the other?
Sometimes I see youtubers sticking their pieces to some sticky putty material to paint. What is that?
>>97054965Poster tack or "blutack".
>>97054965i've been using museum putty that I picked up at home depot. i assume it's something similar
>>97054090Thanks camping anon. Curious if you've checked out Futari Solo Camp from last season or if youre a Yuru Camp purist. Bloodied up the boys last night.
>>97055364NTA but I did start watching it. Wasn't a big fan though and dropped it after a few episodes.
>>97055981Thats a shame, was looking for something comfy last season but nothing stuck out. Shinchan's dad's lunchbreak anime been filling the void this season.
Wish I had applied to the SS this year, would've sent over one of these guys as a bonus. God knows I don't need 16 of them.
>>97056008Call of the Night is comfy. Especially S1, but S2 was airing last season.
>>97056020There’s always next year, anon!>>97054530I mean, it’s still random models. I would probably feel weird if I got a boxes kit of miniatures only to find that one is missing though
>>97056086It's not like a randomly missing intercessor where I took all the good bits, there are just 2 frames that are exactly the same for a game that nobody really plays.
>>97056144Oh, in that case I think it would be alright then. What game btw?
I know Space Marines are supposed to be 9 foot tall giga chads but do other GW kits scale well with standard 28mm figures? I was thinking of buying some bits and and kitbashing them with WGA and Victrix. Maybe AoS, WH, or their LotR lines.
>>97056172GW stuff is only 'officially' 28mm scale. It's actually closer to a 32mm scale.Depends on what you're doing and what parts though. You'll probably have to experiment.
>>97056172>>97056182GW stuff is "heroic scale". It's not just a simple linear size reduction, heads/hands/weapons and various other details are scaled differently. The heads are absolutely giant for example.
>>97056360more modern GW kits are not so heroic, like the new guard, new zombies even the primaris was an attempt to make truescale marines
>>97056424The weapons are still absolutely gigantic.
>>97056424Heroic scale is more about heads, hands and weapons being meaty slabs and exaggerated.
>>97056182I was looking at maybe attaching some heads. Bretonnian heads looked like they could be cool on Victrix mounted knights.
>>97054239I hope you'll have fun with your stinky marines, anon>>97055364Oh whoops I thought you were talking about a different show. I did not check that one, is it good?
>>97048058Is it necessary to varnish before panel lining
>>97057221No, it is not. But gloss varnish usually makes it a bit smoother, cleanup, too.
I'm trying to put some decals on an object with some raised shapes along the panel.It would be a pain to try to cut around them (and I think it would ruin the decal). Can you micro sol decals enough to simply paint over them, or is there always going to be a 'raised' decal texture on the panel?
>>97057254It's usually a good idea to varnish to unify the surface anyway. I dunno about microsol, I use the mr hobby decal chemicals but yes, after a couple applications you could paint over them and it's going to be smooth.
>found a hair in my SS parcelI'm leaving this at a crime scene
>>97057345but anon, you never leave your house
>>97057351The two are not mutually exclusive.
Hey Sister, why the long face?
>>97057366>You found me beautiful once.Honey, you got real ugly!
>>97057366This king of the hapsburgs shit and people insist that GW doesn't give sisters manly faces
>>97057515To be fair it's a bad (resin) case of the sister on the right.
>>97057366Sarah Jessica Parker
>>97057547Sisters are recruited from the schola progenium which is for orphans of Imperial officials, so it's lore accurate that she is 14th generation inbred nobility, the order famulous runs a breeding program that is focused on producing saints, regardless of how much inbreeding that involves.
Trying to paint an infinity army, the second guy is going smoothly. Managed to fix the unintentional attention focus on the flamethrower hose by painting that part of the helmet orange.

Do people really still prime black and try to paint over it? Priming black is for sketching light with white. Learning color theory can also save you a lot of time. You can prime directly in your shadow color and then jump across to the contrasting complementary color for your highlights. Then you can slap some contrast paints on and do some finishing highlights or oil paints and boom you're done.>But I don't have an airbrushThen get one. All the money you spend on cans over a year is almost the same if not more than an airbrush setup.
>>97058296You prime in what color makes the most sense. If you have opaque paints that can cover the black or you want the black undercoat to darken your paints you prime black. If you want to use light colors or colors that are transparent/semi transparent then you prime white or light grey. Grey is in the middle if you aren't sure or don't care. Primer is just another tool, like any tool use the one that makes the most sense for the job you are doing.
>>97049280Your instincts are right, anon. Prime grey or white and save yourself the hair-pulling annoynace of trying to apply layers over black. Black primer isn't the way to shade a mini, and shadows aren't black unless you're in a pitch black cave. As a beginner learn to shade with washes and recess shading. I'd advice to watch some peachy tips videos and see if that sort of base shade highlight-style suits you.You're going to learn a lot in your miniature painting journey if you keep at it. Once you're more experienced you'll learn about volumetric color modulation.
I usually prime black. I don't really think about the primer color cause its going to get zenithal'd with whatever usually.
>>97056360why do they all except for the 3rd one express scale as a length instead of an actual scale like most other scale models? why are gw minis in metric scale when all of the game rules are in inches?
>>97058427The number refers to the standard infantry base diameter the rest of the game is scaled around, not so much a scale model reference. >why are gw minis in metric scale when all of the game rules are in inchesNow that I've wondered. It's a thing in some other wargames too. Maybe inches are more practical than cm that could be overly granular.
what brass strip dimensions make for the best straps for 32mm models?
Since you guys liked my jujak, figured I'd drop another mini I finished today. He really needs more angles to show him off properly, but this one pic should be enough.
>>97058748Nice work, I really like the games aesthetic so it's nice to see someone work on them
>>97058748Cooooool!
>how many missiles?>yes
>>97059652You should emphasize the cheese look by painting circles that would represent holes like swiss cheese has.
>>97059652>cheesasaurus rex armyjk, I do like your results.Is this airbrush? Some color modulation would look nice as well.
>>97059711Yeah it's Golden HFA Diarylide Yellow over a light grey primer. The goal is get this army tabletop ready before I try anything more advanced
Working on goblin. Only a year behind schedule.
>>97060111damn I love this jade skin
>>97060141It was actually a shade or two darker before, but I thought it needed a little extra vibrance. Still needs some touch-ups, but I'm glad I lightened it up a bit.
Not as clean as it should be but in fairly happy with him.
Started painting the three trolls and I sort of lucked into getting the colors right and I'm really happy with how movie accurate they are turning out so far. My goal with the range itself is to make it look "realistic" as opposed to my usual colorful/contrast style with my Heroquest/Warcry stuff.Just gotta matte varnish this guy so he's not so shiny and then finish basing him and move on to the other trolls.
>>97060111Love the skin too.Is that from Twin Goddess miniatures? Need to stop being lazy and get my printer running again to start painting their goblins.
>>97060207>Is that from Twin Goddess miniatures?Yeah, fun little things to paint. My wife printed a bunch of them a while back, and I've been slow as hell about finishing them all.
>>97060367Ah, walking onaholes, my favorite.

how the hell do I glaze with pro acryl
BW in AZ, minor delay. I'll try to get your package sent by Sunday but no promises. I'll add another treat as an apology
>>97061512You thin the paint down, and then take most of it off the brush so that you don't leave coffee stains and the paint stays where you put it.Same as every other paint.Why what's happening when you do it?
>>97061519it's just hard to thin it down to a point where it's not "layer" consistencyI kind of got it working just now but went over most of the highlight color doing it
>>97061512>>97061543Best advice is to thin with a little glaze medium instead of water. It will take a little longer to dry and it will dry a light satin instead of matte so you'll need to varnish afterwards to even everything out, but it is by far the easiest way to glaze with PA.
>>97061579uhh I have vallejo "thinner medium" and ap "wash medium", what's closest? hell what's the difference between all of them?
>>97060367Cute! If she printed off the slime girl one, how is it paintability wise
>>97060202It's pretty crusty, but I can appreciate the effort
>>97061620No slime, unfortunately. Have the druid, the paladin, and the queen ones to work through after this one, though.Looking at the slime model now, it doesn't seem like it would be that difficult to paint - just time-consuming with all the bending you'd need to do. You could probably get away with sticking to one colour for 80% of the model (save for any clothing/accessories), and simply shifting that value up or down.
>>97060204Nice work anon I wish the model didn't show nipples tho

Are modelling questions good here, or is this supposed to be painting only?
>>97062417I just want people to talk to. I'll talk to you about checkers if you want.
>>97062417>work in progress generalgee I dunno anon
>>97062417Just ask the question nigger, people will tell you if you're in the wrong thread. Don't waste posts and time.
For modelling something like the prow of a boat that need to have uniform symmetrical curves, what method would be the least involved / autistic? So far I have considered carving xps foam close to the contour layer by layer and sanding it to a curve, laying plasticard or balsa wood strips over frames, or trying my hand at learning a modelling software to have it printed (probably Solidworks). Assembled the prow will be roughly 9" x 7" x 7".
>>97062525Finding a piece of appropriately curved plastic packaging and cutting it to size would be my suggestion.
>>97062544I've been keeping an eye out as my I've been doing my christmas shopping, but no luck on that front.
>>97062525Do what the real boats do and build a frame made of 2d cross sections, and plank your outer surface around it.
>>97062525Papier-mache for the general shape, then a thin coat of greenstuff for small adjustments and sandability?
>>97062525The fastest is cutting paper templates (since folding them in half means you're guaranteed to be symmetrical), roughing-in a stack of XPS by cutting straight up-and-down, spiking them together with bamboo skewers, and then sanding it evenly to the width of the next level. You can even use the negatives of the paper templates to check your contours, especially if you mount them on cardboard before you cut them out. Then soak the outside in plasti-dip or a similar sealer for a hard surface, which will also hide the fused surfaces between layers. Remember to mark the centerline and the pinning points with the templates on each piece before you start cutting shit out.There are also papercraft design programs out there you can use to make templates for heavy cardboard or plastic sheets. Planking a series of bulkheads/frames does work, but you need to steam wood or heatgun plastic, and it's a fiddly business. Cardboard really needs more support to hold up than some of the other materials, but you can get away with it using extra bulkheads or some support from the rear. ...also depending on what kind of ship you need, TTCombat sells a cheap bulk container freighter that's pretty close to the size you want.
>>97061586I'm not paintologist but in my understanding:Medium: the thing that makes paint become plastic when cured, also carries the pigment, meaning it keeps it uniformly spread and locks it in the cured plastic layer, adding more of the same medium would only make the paint more transparent. This also determines paint finish, gloss, sating or matte.Thinner: makes the mix thinner (duh), more transparent, more runny so you can paint thinner layers easily, faster drying, also lowers surface tension, so the mix spreads better, beads less, less brush marks, would be a bit less durable since the medium is more spread, if added to very matt paints may make them a bit less matt, or gloss less glossRetarder: a thinner that makes the paint dry slowerFlow improver: kinda like a mix of thinner and retarder, more focused on lowering surface tension a lot and not drying super fastFrom here any product would be a mix of those.Glaze medium: thicker than normal medium, makes paint more transparent, less runny, same durability, may change shine and probably has a bit of retarder tooThinner medium: from above, more transparent, more runny, probably keeps drying time and durabilityWash medium: a lot of flow improver+thinner+medium+custom stuff, makes paint more transparent, thinner, runnier, lowers tension, seeks and pools into recesses, keeps pigment uniformly spread so it doesn't cofee stain, etcWater: dissolves the mix, so it actually stays a mix before evaporating to allow the medium to cure, adding more means paint is thinner, more transparent, runs more, adds surface tension, but pigment can separate easier, the curing is not as strong and surface tension being what it is can lead to cofeestaining. If you see your color separates a lot when adding water, use medium and or thinner instead, some colors are more prone to this.I'm sure some autist (not derogatory) with actual knowledge can correct me if anything is wrong

Mornin' WIP.What do you lads use to fill in the gaps of plastic bases?And how resistant to isopropyl alcohol will the stuff used to fill gaps of plastic bases be if one wants to later paint strip a plastic model?I know of milliput and greenstuff, but I'm not sure if there are other things that can be used.
>>97062890Bigger gaps I just use a bit of sprue, otherwise mili/gs.
>>97062890Like the slotta bases?I usually use a strip of index card, but sprue is usually a good fit and fits in with plastic cement.
>>97062890i use a tootpick glued with ca
>>97062894>>97062897>>97062936Thanks guys! I was planning on filling the magnet holes of WGA 40mm square bases.
>>97062625I wonder if the steam gun / heat gun is the issue for planking, maybe the answer is stretching fabric or string, and then hardening and filling with something sandable. Probably would need frames more often though.
all is left is painting, but already having fun with it

I want to buy some "contrast" paints and from my research it seems that speedpaints 2.0 and AK quickgen are pretty similar.Did any of you had experience with any of them? Whats your opinion?
>>97063782Speedpaints are better to use as paints, Contrast are better to use for glazing over a base coat.
>>97063782As with everything else (apart from acrylic washes), AK is better. Quickgen is more consistent across the board, the pigments are not bottom of the barrel trash like with AP, and they have opacity/intensity marked on the bottles, too, so you don't have to wonder how the fuck the paint will behave. And there's no fuckery when you try working with oils/spirits. Still, Speedpaints 2 are fine, but there's imo no reason to buy them if you can get AK.
Spent a good chunck of the day just doing the golden highlights and cleaning up.The blade champion on the bottom will be continued tomorrow, I'm running out of sunlight. Im not sure what color for the bottom guy's robe. Maybe a cool white? Or Lavender purple?
About long does it take you guys to paint a mini? Or say a squad of ten dudes?
>>97063900>one miniMaybe five or six hours spread out over several months>a squad of tenAt least a year, maybe more
>>97063855Purple should work, white can work too if there's enough gold in the metallics, if those are just silver things may be a bit cold and samey.
>>97063900I'm assuming we're talking about something a regular dude, not a character or anything. Depending on the amount of detail between 10 and 20 hours. I usually jump in between different projects to keep it fresh so finishing a squad is usually spread out over a couple weeks or even months

How much did you guys spend on your secret Santa? I'm looks my at buying some of the stuff he asked for and it's getting very expensive very fast. My other problem is that I kinda want these minis too, I fear if I spend all this money on minis I WANT for someone else I'll be tempted to keep them when they arrive Last year I got lucky the guy wanted exactly what I had in my pile of shame, but this year it's all stuff I have to purchase
>>97064403>I'll be tempted to keep them when they arrivehow little selfcontrol do you have anon
>>97064403Look, the wishlist is a guide, not a rule set you have to follow. If it gets too expensive, give him something from his wishlist and throw something extra from your pile of shame. Don't overdo it.
>>97064403Equivalent of around 100€ I guess. But therr are no hard ranges, I just wanted to give him what I personally found cool.
>>97064403between my own spending and what has been posted so far by recipients, its starts too look like 75-100 eu is the average.
>>97063900Depends what it is and if Ive painted em before. Space marines maybe a weekend. A week of evenings if they have chaos trim. But often takes longer for everything depending on focus or distractions. One weekend I did 10 terminators, but 30 khorne berzerkers took 6 months.
>>97064443Now I feel like I didn't spend enough. Oh well, I hope anon will enjoy it regardless.
>>97064403I've spent about 300 USD.about 50 or 60 of that is on kind of non-gift stuff that I can't explain right now.
>>97063571I mean yeah, if you painted it once just repeat the steps on basic marines. Establishying the light and shadow from the beginning will help a lot and edges/transitions can be tweaked later.
>>97064542Pls be my Santa pls be my Santa
>>97064403Around $150 so far but I still need to buy some sweets. I also need to paint the gift mini.
>>97064403>how much did you guys spend I'm struggling this year a little so I was only able to spend $15 on my guy and I gave him a booklet about mass from my parish (catholic)
I gots schemes!Gobbos go fast. Finished this guy in an hour, the orcs were taking me 3-4ish.
>>97064815Which I guess makes sense given the size difference.
I'm about to varnish some terminators in a few days in preparation of a pin wash with enamel paint. From what I've read most recommend gloss varnish but I only have a can of matt varnish on hand. Is that good enough for an enamel pin wash? Or do I need to buy some gloss varnish to provide the best possible surface for that glorious capillary action.
>>97064838gloss is necessary if you're wanting the sharpest application. With matte varnish the behavior would just be similar to what you get with no varnish, possilby worse if its already somewhat slick from something like a dried shade or wash. Not to say it's awful. I oil wash on unvarnished all the time out of not wanting to wait, and the results are fine with a sharp sponge for cleanup. Gloss does make a difference though if you want something like clean mech panels go gloss.
>>97064403>I have to purchaseYou dont have to purchase anything if you got piles of stuff to give away already
>>97064902To add, it is probably beneficial to varnish anyway. Because with cleanup if you use mineral spirits, the varnish can protect the layers underneath as you clean the excess pinwash. Again I do it a lot without varnishing and its usually not an issue, but I let the paint cure a day or 2 before pinwashing.
>>97064838The gloss is specifically what you're after, and it's important. The problem is that you won't be able to clean the enamel off of a non-glossy surface. You can mostly, but it will stain unless the surface is glossy.
>>97064838Idk what you're talking about
>>97064278What my brain saw in the thumbnail
>>97064970>>97064961>>97064902Alright, I'll go for the gloss then. Thanks, anons.
>>97062525if you're doing it in solidworks you can model it as a loft. just draw the cross section at various points and connect them together. if you want to carve it out of foam you can do basically the same thing. make a few templates and cut the foam away until the template fits over it.
>>97064961>Because with cleanup if you use mineral spiritsaren't you're supposed to use enamel thinner or lighter fluid? mineral spirits are for oil paints.
>>97065235white spirit works fine and I'm fairly sure it's a mineral spirit
>>97065235I use this bottle for both AK and tamiya enamels, and oil paint washes. Does fine with everything so I don't think it matters (I don't even know the difference kek).
We all paint, but how often do (You) actually play?
>>97065336I haven't played a tabletop game since 2005
>>97065336what do these whores have to do with /wip/ - work in progress general
>>97065336I've taught my son to play Xenos rampant, so maybe two or three times a week.Finally some progress with the barbarians. Sculpted fur linings to their cloaks with green stuff.
Doing bases for dark elves, don't know what else should I add for them - since I couldn't do "dark cathedral" type, I opted for burned ground and some ruins. What would you add? Or I should leave it like this?
>>97065356Personally I dislike tactical rocks and excessive clutter on gaming pieces. I say leave them as-is, if they are for playing.
>>97065356Less is more
>>97065336I've never played a single game of warhammer in my life.
>>97065336never played in my life
>>97065336never played in my life and don't plan to either, deal with it
>>97065235White spirits and mineral spirits are the same thing, and while anything you can thin enamel paints with is an enamel thinner most of hat's sold as enamel thinner is liekly just white spirits.Oh, and enamel paints at leats used to be oil-based. So yeah, oil thinner and enamel thinner are also the same thing. Though apparently the term has gotten decidedly fuzzy as of late, so I can't promise everything that's sold as enamel will play nice with white spirits or turpentine or so. But hobby paints usually seem to be proper enamel paints when labelled as such at least, and many (but not all) weathering paints (so MIG streaking effects, that kind of stuff).
>>97065309This and the mona lisa brand from speedball are the best odorless mineral spirits. Gamsol has almost no odor to it, mona lisa has a slight odor but is cheaper by volume.
>>97065416>>97065389Okay, so I'm leaving them as they are.
>>97065336I've been learning to play 40k this year. Played 5 games since spring. It's tough and I don't like playing without a full completely painted board and army on both sides so hard to play with randos at the store and not just my other paint autist friend.
>>97065336I go in and out, both with painting and playing. Honestly it's kinda like once or twice a year I'll get into a tabletop mood for a couple months and do a bunch of printing, painting and at least some gaming, but then some new paradox game or patch will come out and I'll get distracted by that and then not do any tabletop stuff until i get the itch again.Kinda wish I wasn't like this because it leads me to have a massive, massive backlog/pile of shame. Honestly I could probably pay a month or two of my mortgage just selling my boxed grey plastic on ebay, not even counting the stuff that's printed/primed and just left to sit in a box.
Holy Shit Santa!I had troubl ewith the delivery company but everything went smooth and now I'm in awe!Loving the muscled men, as you demanded they will accompany me without shirt on.The sweets are amazing, the waffles are my favourite.

>>97065773Wow!
>>97065336
>>97065630No, that's an enamel thinner, a lighter fluid (or is that two?), and an odourless mineral spirit. None of these things have a fully set composition. Also, holy hell do those names differ in how specific they are.>1H-Indene, 2,3-dihydro-...odd way of writing it.Anyway, as you can tell from those though they're all basically general soups of petrochemcial distillates, maybe with some extra hydrocarbons thrown in as additives.

About the bases - that's how, more or less, they will look with their intended models once glued.

I simultaneously feel like you guys are really ahead of schedule on this, and also like "god damn, november is basically over already, where is my life going!?"Last year I didn't send it out until like the 9th, but that was partly due to delays on things being sent to me due to postal strikes. I'm hoping to be about done by the end of this weekend.

>>97066086Honest opinion, the leather on the rider needs to change. Its the same color as the saddle, harness, and the saddlebag behind her. Its just a lot of the same color in the same area, pulls your gaze to that area rather than the rider and mount's head. Leather being consistent between the saddle/harness/saddlebag isn't a problem and can be weathered to break it up nicely so it isn't as big of a eye catch.
Did some work today. Orks for everyone
>>97066310
>>97066218Okay, I will keep that in mind next time since she is glued to her mount and varnished already so I cannot do much at this point. But thank you for pointing that out.
>>97066316They're such a fun kit, every model has personality.
>>97065773Very cool spinny, anon.
Anyone able to weigh in on what color(s) I would need to replicate Agrellan Badland if I just used some grout?
>some moron put the Secret Santa link in the 40K threadAh, that explains why this year is a shambles.
>>9706654340kg does its own SS, anon
Anyone have any tips for getting this flat, almost cartoon/comic booky looking effect? Is it just a matter of being extremely neat? It almost looks cell shaded/like he didn't use any shade paint.Sorry for image quality I had to screenshot a YouTube video.
>>97066557Yes, all 4 of the people who signed up do.
>>97066543It's only (You) constantly shitting it up thoughbeit, you fucking failure
>>97066543How is this year in shambles? Seems like more participation than ever before
>>97066543Imagine being like this lmao.
I'll be honest, I put down sexy skaven women as one of my choices for a gift and idk if my santa is willing to do that
>>97066642don't reply to the schizo, it's the same wankstain that does those grinch shitposts
>>97066669dude you don't say their full legal name
>>97066683it's the schizo doubling down, ignore
Magnetizing this broadside has been pretty interesting. The ball joint things on the shoulders were sliced horizontally, then magnets glued on top.I tried to get a dynamic-ish pose for the missile arms.
>>97066688In case it isn't then Anon should know you typically do initials + city>A A in Anonville
>>97066683>>97066708Unironically, what's so bad about using the name? You already have public social media profiles where everyone can see your name, what difference does it make?
>>97066735This is 4chan my guy. In case some other anon wants to be creepy
>>97066747Basically I don't get why it's a big deal when your name is already publicly available and you were comfortable giving your home address to a stranger on 4chan, why do you care if people know your name?
Is it worth it to get a 3d printer or are there some decent services to have things printed for me?
>>97066735>implyingI never put my real name on sns. Granted, I didn't join SS.
>>97066760I liked my experience with Print To Create 3DThey're in the UK and I'm in the US and it was $80 for60 Heads24 Lightning Claws10 Jump Packs2x DEldar modelsTh Jump Packs and DEldar had some real thin pieces but nothing broke crossing the pond and it took 2 weeks from my order to at my doorstep.
Today I started working on the miniature I'm going to gift for SS :)
idk if this is the right thread for this, but I printed this Coach of Darkness from Monstrous Encounters and these pins for the wheels weren't in the zip file. Is this some standard size thing I should just have??
>>97066884Yippee!I don't think I am gonna paint a mini for them. But I'm making them something cool
>>97066690I like everything about that broadside. Extremely cool base, too. >>97066760I've bought a ton of 3d printed stuff from various vendors who sell physical. I've bought my own printer last week, which should tell you about the average experience with these fags. >hey anon, it's me, printerperson, just telling you your prints are on the way! Just don't ask me for a tracking number, teehee>takes four months, eighteen emails and threat of legal action to even get the prints and they still kinda suck>"I usually print and ship in two weeks, guaranteed." Takes nearly two monthsEither I'm the most unlucky person, or these shitters are literally the laziest, least dependable people on the planet. And these weren't chinks, mind you, all European vendors. Now I print shit myself. It's ten times cheaper, hundred times faster, and I only have one retard to blame if something goes wrong (me).
>>97066900Use the filament you used to print the model
>>97067064Oh, just like cut a string of filament? That's weird I've never seen anything like that before.
How paint bronze without it just looking like gold
>>97066204If I ever did a high corruption SM army, it would probably be Word Bearers. There's something fun about how unapologetically all-in they are.
>>97067199More brown and green. Add verdigris to extra tell everyone that it's not gold.
>>97067243>brown and greeninteresting, where would you recommend placing those over metallic coats?>verdigristrue, but I want a cleaner bronze
>>97067199What look are you going for? Got a reference pic?
>>97067217Kill team box is a great way to do a one off project with a theme. I got these guys first and painted them up, then got a CSM combat patrol that I painted as word bearers, now I stripped the kill team to paint them again since I(like to think)'ve improved quite a bit since then.
>>97067298Something along these lines in general, currently I'm just painting in my aquilas in PA bronze and washing them with AP ruddy fur and it gives a decent enough finish but I feel like it reads like dingy gold more than anything
>>97067338Fuck off o&tfag
>>97067338Didn't you throw a pissy fit and leave?
>>97067338>>97067397Checked the archive and yeah, you did.
>>97067408Nta but what does it matter holy shit, keep it in /40kg/
>>97067397>>97067408go back

>>97067419>>97067426>>97067429Touched a nerve?
>>97067408>Checked the archiveNo, you're an orbiter of a namefag pretending to be a diagetic poster
>>97067437>U-umadLmao kill yourself immediately tranny
>>97067437go back to your containment shithole you dramachasing faggot
>>97067444>I'm not mad I'm not mad I'm not mad!!!
>>97067338This is the type of shit you invite by publicly being a faggot on 4chan. Hope you learned your lesson.
>>97067459Yes you're melting down because >>97067439 exposed you immediately teehee
>>97067465Get over yourself lmao
>>97067454This, but less furry.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JiUTv7bvfN4
>>97067469>>97067470>teehee>lmaoTrying too hard.
>>97067474Sorry you were so easily exposed :(
>>97067474oh yeah hes mad
>>97067474take it back to your containment general
>>97067465>Heh look how tough I am... Watch yourself next time...
>>97067488kek
>>97067472>comments are turned offCoward.
>>97066884That's nice of youHow degenerate is the mini?
I got my SS coomer minis. Like, maybe 2 dozen of them. I'm worried I should maybe also get a few normal minis just in case. They checked they were fine with coomer minis, but that might not mean they want a pile of them.
>>97067533The only dangerous amount is none. Your heart will guide you.
>>97066586You start off with your base colors, and you do very very light glazes for highlights. I would start with a mix of base color and highlight shade for the glaze. The key thing with comic book style (including actual drawings) is the use of black lines to "segment" parts of the figure. These are thin an uniform with no bleed over to the parts of the mini (e.g. clean lines/highlights/pin washes) AND the thickness of the line frames the figure. A thicker line for the outline (based on artist and I would use it as a guideline for clothes/gears/etc for the mini) and thinner lines for the internal lines of the figureHopefully that makes some sense, pic related for the line stuff
>>97066316Fun! Good skin Dark brown wash on the nails to set a bed would be good too
>>97066200That's a crisp white tho, gj
>>97066132Crisp white highlights, then a very thin coat if white followed by a glaze of dark brown/black to fill the eyebrows would hit that last 10% if you're willing. Looks good as is atm
>>97066086I like your level 100 Kyushu okayomadon senpai rider anon, good dire Fenrir fur
>>97065847Is that artisan guild shitass?
>>97065773I like the 360° no scope spinny sniper dude
>>97065356Probably fine depending on the mini, but maybe some grass for color addition
>>97067338That looks like bronze to me already
>>97067243it depends on the particular alloy but I feel like brass has a green tint but bronze is slightly orange.>>97067274to be honest family instead of trying to tint your metallics I would just buy from a brand that's actually looked at bronze once in their lifetime. I don't know if that .pdf was fucking up the lighting as a joke but like 80% of the metal colors it shows look absolutely nothing like what the name says they're supposed to be.
>>97067742I have no idea what the visual difference between brass and bronze is, and honestly, I don't think there really is. They're somewhere between copper and gold, with a few different shades mixed in.I just pick out whatever metallic paint I have that, "feels," best for the moment. Citadel Runelord Brass and Pro Acryl Dark Bronze are great go-to paints.
>>97067893I think there's a clear difference. Like, no one would ever call a tuba or a trumpet bronze.
>>97050316acrylic gouache dries like acrylic paintsClassic gouache can forever reactivate with water and is good for weatheringCorrect me if I'm wrong
>>97067893brass is much paler than bronze or gold
>damn, nice print and paint job, shame about the layer li-OH DAMN
>>97068088Ngl I started looking for print lines on the jacket and skin, and then did a double take on the jeans
>>97067092its pretty common in FDM hinges, especially in function prints, since you KNOW everyone has a 1.75mm dowel of any size, and its stronger to use unprinted filament than try print a small and accurate hinges.
>>97068287Makes sense to me, I'm just pretty new to FDM so I hadn't came across that before.
I realize I’ve wasted 2 hours trying to photograph my newest minis on white instead of black for once(following anon's guide posted the other week)…then my phone camera now randomly has grey dots on it in 3x portrait mode and the other modes are too washed out or dark. I swear I get worse and worse at photographing minis every time I try and the best shots are always impromptu ones on my desk without a backdrop.I just want decent pictures, man.
New thread:>>97068486>>97068486>>97068486
>>97067612No, it's not 3D print. Game is named Eldfall Chronicles, it's "new" (Kickstarter box was released in 2023 or something but now they started to sell regular boxes at shops).
Is there anything different between using pill bottle paint handle and expensive paint handle like this?
>>97067318I have the Legionaire Killteam because I bought the Nachmund box, but I never ended up touching them. That might be a fun project to palette cleanse my army painting.
