>>97132250Hopefully I set this up correctlyAlsoIs it dangerous to soak a brush in isopropyl alcohol?
>>97132259What kind of material is the brush made out of?
>>97132259Yeah it's all good. I baked one but forgot the subject so I deleted it and it reset the timer
>>97132262Not sure. They're Army Painter brushes
I really like some parts and then again some other parts make me feel like a complete amateur not knowing on how to fix it.
How would you guys go about painting a wild turkey? I have one on my gnome blood bowl team, tried to do it in like a dark brown with a couple different dry brush colors, but wasn't really happy with how it turned out. Luckily I dropped and broke it so that gives me a chance to try again at least.
CONDUCTOR I HAVE A PROBLEM
>>97132318This atrocity occurred while bathing this thing in agrax
>>97132259Natural hair could get damaged, synthetic will be fine.
>>97131206hes almost done
>>97132307If brown+colored drybrush didn't work out, maybe starting with some brighter colors (particularly for the tail) and then following up with some brown glazes/washes might do better?
>>97132352QUICK TAKE YOUR PANTS OFF
>>97132402are those actual gunpla parts?
>>97132703DON'T DO IT YOU'LL GET RAPED
>>97132307I would do washes instead of dry brushing for something like this. Start off with a white prime, paint orange with a wash if purple then drybrush orange, after that you can start the black and brown thinned paint to color the feathers
>>97132318>>97132352Quick squeeze out your pants over the tank!
I'm looking for a nice darker skintone that isn't coal black for the beastmen wild herd added in the arcane journal for my goat lads. This looks close to what in my head a more goat than man leaning beastman looks skintone wise. But any idea what it is? some base blending rhinox hide and bugmans glow with layers adding more bugmans and then some cadian fleshtone maybe? I'm more an armor guy and skin is my big weakpoint in painting.

Repost
>>97132924I wish lead free pewter was the norm. With white metal (and brass) you essentially have to assume there's a slight component of lead in there unless they say it isn't....it might still not be as bad for you as 3d printing resin.>>97133037Sanding them is the real issue.>>97133082Very nice.
I want to do a swarm of crabs, where can I find a bunch of crab bits preferably not GSW?

I don't see Empire minis from WFB/TOW posted here very often, so I'll contribute by sharing my current WIP.I was a little disappointed with how my greatswords came out with only two colours for the main uniform, so for my halberdiers I decided to go for three (with blue being the 'secondary' colour for this scheme). I think a ratio vaguely like this will work out, though since I'm going by a miniature to miniature basis I'll put some more effort into making every uniform as distinct as possible in the exact ratio and distribution. It also contrasts nicely with my greatswords' striking blue uniforms.(proxied miniatures from Warlord's. I hate GW's state troops with a passion)
>>97130025>Damn I love these, whats the process?Like this:>AK muddy ground paste>3D printed plants, sticks I've found, and cork that can pass as fallen trees>sprinkle the ground with a mix of various sizes leaves and sands>basecoat with airbrush>highlight with airbrush>wash everything with diluted contrast paints>drybrush>highlightsIt's very fast and simple, very little effort!
Working on some Trondar this week. Getting some fluorescent panel liners this next week to really make the lines pop. Tanks are about done, have to figure out the infantry next.
>My work made it into the OPNeat.Was finishing up another last night. Two more to go now.
once unit of French knights (before wash, grass, and clean up)I think they are quite eye catching.
>>97133453nigga this pic looks like you took it on a 2005 nokia. That or its found footage from the same time.
>>97133983also, of what I can see, looks good.
>>97133983While it was taken with a potato phone, I didn't notice it would zoom in and get blurry as much after I cut said photo.>>97133992Thanks!>>97133972Love the knights man. I wouldn't dare try and paint heraldry on individual miniatures, if I do ever get those kind of knights I'll just paint them for an order of knights.
>>97133972>I wouldn't dare try and paint heraldry on individual miniatureshow come? I find it keep my attention and interest going. Having to paint the same thing over and over and over again is a slog. I remember hating painting my napoleonics.If its shit, I just cover it up and start a new design. Also, thanks!

The finished champion of khorne! It's a little dark, but I do like how the boots came out
>>97134324Damn, nice work anon. I dig the sword, rust effects came out very well.
>>97134399Thank you!
not sure how done this is
>>97134886Huh, neat.
>>97133892Did you brighten up the white?
>>97134886The bottom left of the portrait seems a bit unfinished
Finally got the fishing line in place. Now I gotta add Christmas lights to it. I'm not 100% sure if I should do a single light on each segment and go for some OSL, or a few lights to each segment in a sequence of different colours.
>>97135032Separate lights will be worth the effort
>>97135032What will you use for Christmas lights?
>>97135197I made little greenstuff lights sized to doing the OSL lights. If I do the sequence, I'll have to make smaller ones. They're not perfect, but they should sell that they're lights once painted correctly. Final fate of this dragon is to be a tree ornament, so as long as he looks good from a couple feet away, I'm happy
anon here that got gotted by the white primer spray from yesterdayinstead of stripping them, could I just do another pass or two over them with white to get rid of at least the top half of spottiness?
>>97135399I mean it's primer, isn't it? If there's no texture, just start painting over it now. Primer is just there for you to bond your paint to. If there is a fuzzy texture though, then you're gonna need to strip them.
>>97135495>>97135399I can see some grainy texture on the model, another layer won't cover it
>>97135495>>97135569they are a bit rough/sandy I guess yeah... I found a knee on one model that is mostly just black primer and it does feel smootherwhen doing my own research on r*ddit someone linked this video https://youtu.be/LEbAeb7Eiko?t=457 comparing white vs grey... some ingredient in white primer that makes it splotch upbut anyways the dots definitely appear to come through on some colors and overall is more matte and holds less detailheck
>>97135576could also be a humidity problem.I think water can get IN the can too if its left out over night.
>>97135576Warm the can in a bowl of water, shake for like 10 minutes, make sure humidity is low and don't spray too close or too long.
Winter is coming.I've been using Mr. Surfacer Primer and Top Coat rattle cans on my balcony at night after work. But with Winter, should I just hold off until Spring? Chance it during sunny weekend days?It might not matter much with Mr. Surfacer primer, I've noticed it's not as smooth, but after a few paint brush strokes it's fine. I'm worried about fucking up the top coats, though.
>>97135007blerghhh
>>97135576iirc the relatively large titanium dioxide molecules (the white pigment) also tend to bond together easily, which forms small clumps.I recommend using gray primer personally.
>>97135296consider tinting some clear resin with colored dye and sticking a drop at a time on the line with a toothpick. if you get the consistency right it will solidify in a drop shape and look like a light bulb.
>>97135730Are you doing this with a use in mind? Will you sleeve and actually play it?
>>97135730Hey that's a lot better!
>>97135495>Primer is just there for you to bond your paint to.consider what dry spray means for that. when you have your primer properly applied it's bonded to the plastic and gives the paint a good surface to bond to iself. when your primer is dry sprayed it's just sitting on the surface like dingleberries on an ass, so the paint you put on top of it will have the same sandy texture and also have poor adhesion to the base plastic.
>>97135761yes? although it might take me a while to finish my deck.>>97135780thank you!
>>97135817Showing up to an lgs with a full hand painted deck would be an absolute king move.
>>97135576I've used a brand of black, grey and white rattlecan primers and the white always comes out fucked up. Never had any issues with the other two.>>97135730That's rad
P.P. - your parcel has been delivered to your post box

>>97136146I think that's not me, as I just checked it's empty.Anyways, got to kinda enjoy some ideas that are deeply stupid, found this toy goat in discount bin, printed a super basic villager and gonna use this guy next time I am in some table top games showcase event, as many of those got kids and it feels perhaps more in taste to use this dude in pool of fighters rather then satanist mc titson knight I have in the other box
Boner weapons
>>97136358Quite turgid.
>>97136358What are these models from?
>>97136428Ruinstorm daemon brutes for horus heresy
>>97136436Huh weird, they don't look like GW demons. I like them.
>>97136446Yeah I agree they are standout good looking for GW. They are forgeworld though so rip, probably a design team long gone now.
>>97136449Every good model, without exception, is either an old FW design (which, in turn, a solid portion of is based on Blanche's art) or based on it.
Polandanon, I'm having your stuff sent out in the week!
>>97136470There are some nice new models, but no one actually owns any of them unless you're a youtuber or scalper.
>>97136491I think they make some genuinely good plastic models for age of sigmar and horus heresy. 40k seems oddly gimped in the design space like they're afraid to do anything too wild or just remake the forgeworld molds in plastic.
>>97136499Yeah, I should have specified it's 40k with >>97136470AoS has fantastic stuff, hands down.
>>97136499Yeah I'm right there with you. I love some of the AoS stuff, but I can't actually remember the last time I was impressed by a 40k model. Maybe the mechanicus dune walker thing. Not that I'd ever buy anything from either of them any more.
>>97136499marinepigs will buy anything gw makes so they don't need to put that much effort into 40k
When will the suffering end /wip/?
>>97136567Old proverb says "don’t ask for your problems to end — for your life would end along with them".
In previous thread somebody mentioned Gaahleri airbrushes and while I don't think I should replace my existing Chinese one instead of working on technique/etc, I checked them and they indeed are rather reasonably priced, here equivalent of something around 70€. Is this good model then? Just want to know for further reference.
>>97136663At this point I'd wait for Badger to have their annual sale in January.
>>97136663You are replacing one crappy chinkbrush with another crappy chinkbrush (made by chinks who are slightly better in marketing, since we are speaking about Gaahleri), anon. Save your money for a few months and buy something sensible instead.
>>97136833Badger is US company, right? Then it makes no sense for European to wait for their sale since it won't affect me in any way.
>>97136845You'll still get a massive discount?
>>97136833>>97136845Badger is awesome, but considering anon is Polish, HS might be a better option since he can get all their shit directly from Germany. They also have sales, after all. But yeah, Badger, Harder & Steenbeck, Iwata, GSI, maybe even Sparmax are all generally good picks.
>>97136567>love horde armies>hate horde paintingThe struggle is real>>97136596What's with the sudden influx of philosophers in the last couple of threads?

>>97133411Sorry anon i went to bed>>97137122answer is here
>>97137079I hate this but its either lots of simple rats or a couple of fucking annoying to paint chaos knights so....>>97137089I feel motivated now anon, lets fucking go.
>>97137135so what you are saying is that slapchop is not any faster or easier than regular painting
>>97137153it is if you don't care about qualityI want slapchopping and now im repainting some parts because they look ugly as hell.Im still using contrast paints for some parts but the clothes look like shit.It was my mistake i think, I should have used a light cream color for the zenithals/drybrushing so it doesnt look like desaturated blobs on the lighter parts.
>>97136256Every time I walk near these guys and they go "Hmmm....Hnnnrghhh" I think of Chrischan.
Nearly done. I remain awful at painting black.
How would you paint this tone of white tunics for a SoB ARMY? Easy enough so it looks as good and similar to the image but not so hard that I get tired of doing it after 3 minis. I’m having a hard times with this, kings.
>>97136833How does the sale work? Does it effect Amazon too? Maybe I'll buy the 105 from an actual resellers site though. I'm so scared of getting knockoffs these days.
>>97136844I've only ever had Gaahleri airbrushes, so I don't know. But are they really worse than stuff from non-chink brands? I figured the few problems I had with it were skill issue related.
>>97137303 For parchment, I use Reaper's Pure White or Vallejo Ivory and go over it with Skeleton Horde Contrast Paint. For something about the colour of what the Inquisitor is wearing, I image starting with something less white as an undercoat could do the trick. Unfortuneatly, Citadel's whites have never worked out for me and their off-whites - except maybe Wraithbone - have been almost as bad.
S.I. in Ukraine, your package is available for pickup according to tracking. Santa should have given you the tracking number. Hope you enjoy!
TW in COyour package is out for delivery today, nothing inside is perishable so if you wanted to wait there’s no rush.
>>97137467>>97137467>But are they really worse than stuff from non-chink brands?Depends. The thing with airbrushes is that you have a few (like five) non-chink manufacturers, companies that have been making airbrushes for a long, long time. Badger is like 50 years old at this point, Iwata has been around for 100 years, H&S is a few years older (there are airbrushes made by them during the Third Reich, that are still spraying). And then you have an absolute flood of chink companies that either make cheap copies of these or copy from each other. Gaahleri, as a company, is one of these largely no-name brands that mostly copies other chink companies. The difference with Gaahleri is that their marketing is not retards, and they tend to absolutely spam the fuck out of their airbrushes to every single even remotely noteworthy YouTuber every single time they manufacture a new model. This results in unnaturally inflated reviews, and as a result, Reddit adopts it as "truth" because they are braindead retards. Are they worse than non-chink brands? Yes. Is it a huge difference? Depends on the model. If you take a gold standard higher mid-range airbrush like HS Evolution or Iwata Eclipse, the difference is fairly major. But models below these, it becomes mostly a question about what part of the usability/experience you want to compromise on. Finally, it depends on your use case. Do you want to prime, maybe do some very rudimentary pre/post shading and you are not planning on using it often? Get Fengda (BD-180, for example), or Gaahleri, or something like Master G223; it largely doesn't matter. Some are slightly better than others, but it will always be a compromise. Do you want to do all the cool shit airbrush allows you to do, do it often, AND want to have a good time? Start with Eclipse or Evolution. t. airbrush autist
done with termites. also painted some regular marines.
Question for everyone but especially canadians, what do you use for matt varnish? I do not have a local shop to get shit from and the only two choices I seem to be able to find is army painter matt spray or rustoleum flat clear on amazon. I would buy the army painter but it is majorly over priced on amazon.ca at $35 a can when all the other are around 24. The rustoleum doesn't seem to have an ingredient list which I would like to stay with acrylic and I am assuming the rustoleum is not acrylic but the prices is right at 14$ a can. The rest are unknown name craft shit. Would kind of like a brush on though so I can do it in the house for now. Any recommendations?
Thank you so much anon, this is an amazing gift. I've been eyeballing Conquest for some time now and I'm quite excited to finally try it. After painting it all of course. KDM girls are a welcome addition to my collection and they will receive a loving paintjob they deserve. I've never played solo wargames before so it's gonna be a new experience for me I assume it's akin to playing a game versus the board but I might be wrong. Merry Christmas anon!
>>97137623>Question for everyone but especially canadians, what do you use for matt varnish?Not a leaf, but AK matte, better yet, ultra matte. Don't buy AP, it's hot garbage.
>>97137079>The struggle is realYeah but think of the 15 seconds of satisfaction you'll feel when you get it all done and look at your nice horde blob.
>>97136663I can't speak direclty about Gaahleri models, but can recommend another brand. I have a couple of Iwata airbrushes and a cheap Chinese copy. There is no comparison - the Iwata ones are in a completely different league. Better and smoother coverage, better control, they never leak, and they never jam.Iwata Neo is entry-level and around $85, Iwata Eclipse is better and about $170. If you're planning on using an airbrush extensively and/or over a long period, I'd get the Eclipse.
>>97137603>Do you want to do all the cool shit airbrush allows you to do, do it often, AND want to have a good time? Start with Eclipse or Evolution.If I had such expensive stuff as H&S airbrush, I would be afraid to even use them. Much like I wouldn't even dare to use DaVinci natural hair brushes due to their price and instead use Kolibri or Lineo... which is actually what I do. And I honestly doubt that you cannot do all that techniques with good quality Chinese airbrush just because they are Chinese.
>>97137623Not Canadian, and I tend to use satin varnishes since they don't dull down colors to the same extent, but I can recommend the Vallejo paint-on varnish line, and the Citadel sprays (Munitorum).
>>97137662>I would be afraid to even use them.That's because you are used to chink garbage. One of the cool things about actual well-made airbrush is that it is very, very durable, both inside and out. Damaging, let alone breaking it, is very difficult. High tier airbrushes can easily last you a lifetime with a proper maintenance. With a bit of love (and o-ring replacements here and there) your grand-kids can use the same airbrush. >with good quality>Chinese airbrushPick one. And if there's such thing, it will cost similarly to HS.
Not my best stuff, but I finished up my buddies' party of characters over the weekend - photos attached. They're a bit overpainted, and I did hijack a WH40K motif for the banner and shields, but they'll do for now. Still so much to learn!
>>97137680Except I won't have grandchildren, let alone kids and my nephews will simply throw everything I own into trash once I die. But that's digression.Yes, my experience is entirely based on Chinese airbrushes (in theory assembled in my country but the parts are made in China) but I was using the very cheapest one and slightly more expensive but also newer one and difference was huge. I have a feeling that Chinese stuff have simply bad reputation and they went over it in quality, much like Chinese scale models (many models few years apart have drastically different quality).
>>97137708>but I was using the very cheapest one and slightly more expensive but also newer one and difference was hugeYet there's no possibility of similarly huge difference between chink airbrushes and actual well-made ones from Europe, US, or Japan?
>>97137722NTA, but what is the difference? what can you do with a well made airbrush you can't do with a cheap chinese one? The cheap one I'm using has worked well so far for priming and doing some base coats for my Armigers.
>>97137735>color modulation like pre/post shading>actual shading/making smooth gradients even with very tiny minis>hairline fine painting>effects like OSL, again, even on very tiny models>weathering>the whole myriad of actual classic painting techniques related to airbrushAnd it's not just what it can do, it's also how well it does it, and how fast and easy the maintenance, cleaning, and similar tasks are. How durable it is, so that you can do all these without risk of fucking something up. And about how well it is made, so that if you start using it often, you won't get fucked over by leaks, material failures, etc. that were not of your own making. Like I said, if you wanna use it as a glorified rattlecan (like you are), there's no reason to buy good, expensive airbrush.
Anyone able to share a way to do a line, probably 4-6mm wide, across a curved panel?Replicating the black line on the shoulders in pic
The more I read about it, the more airbrushing sounds like religion. No offence.
>>97137812Currently the most retarded post itt. >>97137811Masking tape or putty. You can do it with a brush, but airbrush is better at stuff like that.

>>97139463Turquoise similar to Skink skin and something like picrel as a lavender midtone. Leaning more into pink would look great as well I think.

>>97139646Fuck, shit. Goddammit. NOOOOOOO
>>97139500Food for thought. Thanks.Haven't mucked around much with pink, so I might sketch out something with that. Maybe work it up from a lavender or a purple.I'm a bit cautious about approaching anything with too much red in it for these, though. I paint my goblins with red eyes, and something about a goblin with red skin just feels like petting a cat the wrong way.
>>97139639Oh, well she probably thought you're autistic for spending your free time painting plastic toys as an adult and pretended to ignore it
>>97137735My experience with chink airbrushes is that their triggers feel like dragging sandpaper on sandpaper and you need to pull almost all the way back on the needle for the airbrush to spray any paint, causing you to lose all control. Completely fine for priming.
Wow, I just realized ninjon and miniac weren't the same person.
Just the first coat of base coats done. Pretty nervous for the diamonds but will be a fun learning experience. Used army painter brush on primer which I was pleasantly surprised by with how good it was.
>>97139670wow who asked
>>97139670They even have a podcast, so you can see them in the same room together. Although it's a pretty boring podcast where they talk about which flavour of warhammer they like or talk about models that look awesome but have no editing to actually show the models. So it's 40 minutes of "wow that looks so cool".

It's pretty cool seeing something that's not minis on /WIP/ tbdesu, it's not called "mini painting general" afterall. (even though I'm usually just here for the minis)
>>97139388Could always go oldschool and make an orangey-brown one. A blue one would be cool, too, tho.
>>97140152I mean as long as it has something to do with traditional gaming. Anything can be a WIP, we need to at least keep that boundary.
>>97140172absolutely agree (though I'd want to restrict the criteria to artistic stuff like drawing/painting/sculpting)
>>97139783based
>>97140196Yeah not sure how interested I'd be in design documents for a game being made or something. Might be interesting though.

Any tips on making the illusionist look less like a clown? I already stripped her whole face with alcohol and redid it but it still looks bad to me. Not sure why it seems to be so consistently thick, I make sure the thin my paints but maybe I couldnt thin as much as needed since her face has so many deep curves the paint would run into

Not sure where else to ask this, but how do you store your hobby stuff more compactly to not take up too much space?I feel like I'm entering the miniature painter's equivalent of a Lego fan's "dark ages" where essentially someone puts aside the hobby for other pursuits but will hopefully one day get back into the hobby again in the future.Real life and responsibilities is getting in the way of my hobbies.
>>97140981As I see it, you either find/make shelf space, or you toss them all in a box and untangle that shit later.
I'm pretty happy with how this guy turned out, probably gonna repaint the other 4 in this scheme. >>97140981It'd be good if you could show a pic of what your current storage looks like. There's usually a lot of common fixes like better using drawers, getting more shelves, getting rid of boxes/empty sprues, etc.
>>97139689The white seems a bit patchy, I'd have started with a slightly darker grey and layered up.
>>97138804thank you anonI could not stop working on them until i was happy, now they are all skaven'd up, rusted, highlighted and ready to kill

Learned elders of /WIP/, has any of you converted scale model kits for wargaming purposes? I've looked at some 1/48 scale vehicles, like the btr-60 and pic related for sci-fi wargaming. If you've made similar conversions in the past, how did you make these kits look more futuristic?
>>97132275You can soak them in garbage then, and get actual brushes
>>97141793They are too small next to GW sized models. And being interested in scale models, I could never unsee the actual tank behind the conversion, so I stopped. 3d printing offers better sci-fi tanks anyway
>>97141852Fair enough. I think the proportions would look a bit wonky, as real tanks tend to be narrower and longer than 40k boxes. But I thought 1/48 and 1/56 would be the closest to the 28mm scale.3d printing is fine for walkers, but I'd rather have my tanks in hard plastic.
>>97141893It's not just the overall size, a gw tank track is 3-4mm thick, a model tank of the same size is maybe half that, same goes for rivets and every other detail, everything GW is chunky (and very much nonsensical) because they don't have a real proportions, sense of scale or purposewith enough conversion work you could make it work for imperial guard tanks but at that point might as well go the paper route like papercraft anon
>>97141908I thought of having some APCs or IFVs for my eisenkern stormtroopers and stargrave troopers. Their proportions are more slender compared to GW. I guess they're still chunkier than scale models, but the difference is not so jarring?
>>97141929well it may work better for those yeahi mean those tanks are cheap enough to try anyways, and in any case you will have a cool model to build and paint even if you later don't game with it
>>97133892Desperately need to know where these gobbos are from.
Followed anon's advice and put some fleshy pink on the snouts.

Can you use a bit of greenstuff to reinforce a joint between two metal parts? Asking because the parts are too small for pinning.
>>97142056I imagine it would work with some superglue on top, how small of a part are we talking?
>>97142066It's this guy's arm. There's already a dent at the jointure and a corresponding peg on the model itself to provide a better grip but it also means I can't easily drill.
>>97142082I think some 2 part epoxy should probably hold this on it's own (this includes green stuff)
>>97142086Will probably try glue with some greenstuff to reinforce it.
>>97141893It's a fair concern, and maybe you could print the hull with fdm and the details in resin, depending on the model.I'm in the office right now, but when I'm back at home later this afternoon, I can post a couple of comparison pictures of 1/48 ww2 tanks (from my bolt action armies) next to some printed GW proxies.
>>97138427At that point, you are trying and failing to flex, if it's going to look like a smudged pen, may as well use a pen
>>971417931:35 is better for warhammer, imo. It's a bit bigger (Warhammer scale is all over the place, but it's generally roughly 1:44), but since Warhammer is also heroic, I've found it fits better together. I've been trying both 1:48 ERA bricks and 1:35 ERA bricks and 1:35 is near perfect match.Check this out: https://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/800861.page
>>97142082>>97142086green stuff is not structural nor a glue, it offers little reinforcement as a gap filler, less so on metal, milliput maybe, actual epoxy glue (for metals) would be the way to gohowever, that looks easy enough to pin with a 1mm wire or paperclip
>guy I'm painting has his mouth open>paint the open space white>now he is grinning as he swings his swordI laughed like an idiot for a full minute when I saw what I'd done.

>>97142217Really nice. Reminds me of Half-Life for some reason.
>>97142217I dig the base. Did you use powder pigments?
>>97142217Nice work, gold looks a lot better
>>97142200Impeccable dental health.
>>97142179Nice! Love me some Skaven. Did some myself some months ago.
>>97142393I like the dirty-fleshy look on the ogres.
>>97142244>>97142264>>97142276Ty anons!And yes I did use pigments on the base. Painted it normally first and then used pigments on top
Contemplating clear acrylic bases for my next project. What's the best way to glue? Will plastic cement affect acrylic bases? If not, how can I prevent fogging using superglue?
>>97142869For the superglue, I'd just focus on applying a small dot or very thin layer, enough to cover the contact patch but not leak out the sides. I don't think normal plastic cement will work with acrylic.Why do you want to use clear bases? The cons outweighed the pros when I considered it.
>>97142897>Why do you want to use clear bases?I used to work with status tokens, but the board tends to fill up quickly and sometimes it's not clear what belongs to what. So I figured putting a piece of paper with whatever information I want to add underneath the mini.
>>97142144Ha, there's even an eisenkern trooper posing next to the t-55. Though that tank was designed for manlets based on seeing it up close. 1/35 scale seems to offer a wide variety of post-war APCs and IFVs, which might look more appropriate for what I'm looking for. Thanks in any case.
>>97142960There are some absolutely kino kitbashes of 1:35 Vietnam war era vehicles with Catachans/IG.
>>97142942I made white acrylic arrows that I can write whatever's affecting the mini at the time on and put them pointing to the model's base. Saves me lots of time looking for that one uncommon effect.
>>97141793There was a famous conversion in White Dwarf decades ago of a WWI-era British Mk IV tank made into a Deathwing Land Raider after GW discontinued the original Land Raider kit. Granted, back then, Terminators were on 25mm bases...
>>97142200Leave it like that, he looks great. True Chad dual wielder.
>>97142942some people use status rings/bases for thatyou can make them very easily if you hae a 3dprinter or manually with a bit more effort, or check aliexpress
>>97132899Probably yeah. But if you're copying something it will risk it becoming an inferior copy. If you use color theory and mix your own skintones you'll achieve exactly what you want
>>97142200He's havin' a great time!
>>97141994>>97142004Really nice paint job. These models have stood the test of time, even if the lack of stirrups tickles my 'tism.
>>97143753Than you. For me they strike the right balance of having fantasy elements without going too far.
>>97143239The thing on the left with the upright status marker might do the trick, with some color coding like on the right. I'll need to see how the attachment works.>>97143011Afraid those will make the board too crowded, I'm trying to avoid that.
>>97133104>Sanding them is the real issue.Wear a mask, wear gloves, sand underwater. Problem solved.
>>97143926They don't really seem to have any fantastic elements, besides the shields which weren't commonly used by such heavily armoured cavaliers. And the lack of stirrups.
>>97130658I add wash to it now, of course highlight are going to take a lot more of time than base and washes.
>>97138818False, Yoroni look 10 times cooler.
>>97132250she looks like she gets glued on
>>97144527we are not interested in your weird kinks, anon
Okay, please abstain from comments about Chinese airbrushes. Honest question - what's the most likely cause of pic related? Not enough thinner? Leaking seal?
>>97144572It's completely normal, you are supposed to clean the paint from the needle during the painting. Most common ways are an old brush dipped into a cleaner or just your fingers. You can prevent a fair bit of it with correct technique, but it will ultimately always happen.
>>97144589I should elaborate: accumulation of paint on the needle is normal. You are supposed to clean it during spraying (every airbrush is different, but generally speaking every few moments/minutes), to prevent paint drying up and clogging your airbrush.
>>97144589No, I mean I know about paint drying on the tip and having to remove it. Here paint somehow accumulated and dried between nozzle and main chamber, on the needle (not sure if I name parts correctly). I was paying attention not to pull trigger before pressing it, by the way.
french spearmen
>>97144572>>97144657Did that happen while you were airbrushing? In that case I don't think it dried as you worked, as the paint in there shouldn't have any exposure to air (when the nozzle is in place) until it's ejected out of the brush and sent on its way to the model. So instead I'd guess old gunk from an earlier painting session you didn't clean out, or you had a partially dried up bit in the paint pot that came along when you filled up the airbrush with paint, or if you thinned the paint then the paint and thinner may just hate each other intensely. (Vallejo paint + Mr Levelling Thinner for example results in cottage cheese.)
>>97144713Looking forward to seeing your bretonnia army in /wfg/ perrynig.
>>97144572that's not normal, it looks like your paint had lumps in it or you used the wrong thinner and that caused them
>>97144718Actually it was AK and Vallejo thinner but that worked just fine so far. I simply noticed that cleaning paint from the tip didn't improve spraying and at one point it stopped completely. When I removed paint from the cup and added cleaner and tried to flush it into this "cleaning cup", it started to backflow so I assumed it got blocked completely. Why, however, is beyond me.Overall, this is new airbrush I got fully from "loyality program" points from shop I usually buy from and it looks odd to me. But I'm not very experienced either. I don't see seal for example, neither at the cup or at the back, manual is "generic" one that does not cover this specific model, except diagram with listed and named parts. It had some seals in small bag inside the box, which I assumed to be spares - some teflone, some rubber. It's also this so called "floating" nozzle.
>>97144787on a setup like that i would only expect one seal between the cup oppening and the trigger (teflon probably, you can't really see it unless you tear it apart) and the one sown on the thread at the front
>>97142217Wow, I tried to do very similar patterning on the Flamer Nob squig, but you did it so much better.
>>97141793I think a 1:35 scale sherman will be about the same height as a leman russ.
GP your parcel is getting picked up tomorrow
I added a command group to the falxmen, along with some other models. The colours on the banner are maybe a bit too bland, what do you think?
Need to take better photos later. Conrad of Montferrat and knightly retinue. Will add more knights asap.
>>97145390the point of old banners is to be seen from far away.
>>97142112>>97141852Here is a 1/48 M10 next to a chimera/hellhound. And the Chimera already is not a really big tank.
>>97145472And here is a 1/48 Panther (which is a fairly big WW2 tank in itself) next to a Leman Russ.
Cleaned, tested with other paint, same problem - needle inside was covered in paint that simply dried. Absolutely no idea what happened or why. Guess I will have to contact producer since I simply lack experience to diagnose myself. This white part on the front is supposed to be seal I guess (number 4 on schematic) but there is no inside the cup itself so maybe that's why.Screw me, should stick to that simple Chinese ones at it least it worked without any fuss.
>>97145482Btw, that Panzer 1 in the background is 1/48 as well..
>>97145390>drill your carnyxes
Do contrast/speed paints only work well if you do a zenithal prime? Or can you just do a grey prime?
>>97145489the o rings are to keep air from leaking out and to stop paint from going backwards instead of forwards. your blockage was where the paint is supposed to be so it probably doesn't have anything to do with the o rings. your problem is either that paint is drying on the needle while it's being used, in which case the solution is to add retarder or flow improver to make it dry slower, or that you didn't fully clean the paint after the last time you used it which allowed a solidified chunk to form inside, in which case the solution is to clean your tools properly.
>>97145564You just need a bright undercoat/primer so that it actually tints the surface. So an off white grey or cream
>>97145564Short answer, yes, but very light grey, preferably a white/cream though and not a medium grey.Long answer:They're still useful if you want to paint like that (I wouldn't recommend it but whatever). Zenithals, and drybrushing the highlights on before contrasts (slapchop) are extra things, in theory GW's intent with contrast was for you to put them directly on over top of an offwhite primer, and then do some edge highlighting and call it a day.They're just thick washes. 'eavy Metal doesn't have volumetric highlights (not that they use contrast for 'eavy metal, but in general the style GW pushes) so none of that matters, the contrast is basically just giving you base + recess shading in 1 step rather than the two when you would base and then wash.
>>97145599It was very first use however. There is still a possibility that AK paints actually don't like Vallejo thinner. Violently. Still, thanks for helping out.
>>97145489are you simply letting go of the trigger? you should let just air flow for a little bit after stopping the paint.
>>97145641No, I was warned about that before so I made some "dry" training the trigger movement itself before, to always press, pull, back forward and only then release. Down, back, forward, up.
>>97141994Are those Knights of the everlasting Light? my favorite minor chapter man! Blue-white-gold is just peak.
>>97145489Seal inside the cup? It's one piece with the main body, so obviously no seal needle there. The rear opening for the needle at the bottom should have one, but that's not where you get a buildup of dried paint so probably not involved here. Front needle opening shouldn't have a seal, that's where the paint leaves the cup for the nozzle.>>97145641He appears to be getting the buildup inside of the nozzle, between it and the needle, so I don't think it's the trigger technique since this is where the paint's supposed to be. The question is why the hell it manages to dry out on its way from the cup to the nozzle.
>>97144737Not perryfag, but I do think it would be neat to proxy it as a renegade crowns army. using arms and armor that are like smack dab between bretonnia's 1300s look and the Empires 1500s look.
>>97145415rad, going to be painting my grandparents heraldry on some knights and give it them for Christmas.
>>97145564There are two aspects to undercoating for contrast/speed/transparent paints:#1: Premade shadows and highlights. This is the zenithal priming, from either rattlecans, airbrushes or drybrushing.#2: The actual undercoat paint.Point #2 is where the real magic happens. If I'm painting a part of the model with a wood texture, I'm not going to bother zenithal priming it, because I know I'm a messy painter and I'll get some splotches onto it. Instead, I'll just apply the bright undercoat, then Wyldwood Contrast over it.But you need to choose the right shade for #2. Games Workshop/Citadel has three "special" paints exactly for this, and it's no coincidence they now have rattlecan versions of each one: Grey Seer, a cool bright grey, Wraithbone, a warm bright cream, and White Scar, a pure white. You can get (and probably should get) a matching paint shade from other manufacturers, but Citadel Grey Seer and Wraithbone have very good performance and coverage.The undercoat changes what happens when the contrast/speed paint is applied. You can see charts online. I tend to prefer a warm off-white as my basecoat. Because pure black and pure mid-grey shades can look a bit off when contrast/speed paints are applied, many people prefer to do zenithal priming with dark-brown as shadows and a bright cream as highlights, rather than pure black going to pure white.>pic relatedthe skin on these hobgrotz is Citadel Iyanden Yellow over a zenithal priming of black-grey-white. I knew it would create this muddy greenish yellow look, and that's what I wanted.
I FINALLY got my secret santa sent out today

CL in North York, your thing is getting sent out tomorrow, should be there by Thursday or Friday.
>>97145767After some research, I start to think it could be actually unpleasant reaction of AK paint with Vallejo airbrush thinner. Which is odd since I don't recall that before and both are waterbased acrylics. Still, this rise a question what should I use instead since AK dedicated thinners are rare in my country. Wouldn't expect pure water to be enough.

I don't understand why nothing works. I know how to paint. I've watched hours of tutorials. I've read pages of guides. I know how to thin, but it just doesn't thin right; it gets too runny if I add even a microdrop of water, and it gets grainy somehow too. My brushes don't keep a point. My wet palette dries up. The paint gets outside the lines. Everything is just fucking awful.
>>97147990It's an eviscerator, anon. Get your chainsword genders right.
>>97148096Post pictures of your paintjobs.
>>97148096Same
>>97148096Are you mixing your paints enough? Try using medium, not water, and potentially try not using a wet pallet. Sometimes I use a silicon pallet if my paints are seeming unruly. Its not really consistent even within brands or the same colors. I'll switch between a wet pallet and dry pallet ad hoc if a bottle seems runny.If youre using natural hair brushes they shouldn't really ever fray if youre cleaning them enough. But washes and contrast paints can wreak havoc on the ferrule due to their fluidity. You need to constantly clean the brush if it's a very watery or thin medium, honestly I just use a synthetic brush I intend to trash. Which might be happening if youre paint is too thin.
>>97148096How has the paint been stored, what brand?
>>97148096>The paint gets outside the lines.You probably have too much paint on your brush. Wipe some of the excess off on a paper towel first.
>>97148096Start licking your brush and all those problems will go away.
I can't thank you enough Santanon! When I first played 40k during 4th edition I had the metal sword brethren set. My brother sold it without asking before I got back into 40k. Seeing that box brought some warm fuzzies. I somehow don't have a dice tower for my players who always roll onto the floor. It will lovingly be used to shame them. I really needed some more chests and stuff to fill up my 3D map stuff. All the minis are great. I am a huge fan of these gobbo minis and love the metal mini. Now I'm rambling. Just, thanks again Anon. I love it.

>>97148760>>97148764>>97148768>>97148774Glad you like it! Nice kitty :3
>>97148786Whatever compressor comes up with the search "AS-186" on amazon. Many brands just slap their name on that one but it's the standard tank compressor.
>>97148819Goddamn you got the smoke exactly right. I've tried that before and failed horribly.
>>97148853I was going to suggest this as well, but last time I saw someone recommend it, the guy asking went skitzo and derailed the thread complaining about how it was cheap garbage that couldn't maintain air pressure but didn't want to pay more for a hobby specific one and just started arguing with everyone. Didn't want to risk it if it's him coming back to try again.
>>97148962Airbrushes are magic. It took about an hour to do 10.
Was it the matte ot gloss vanish you were supposed to apply before using the oil wash/tamiya panel liner?
Uhm What can i do to make the blood splatter look natural?
>>97146451Don't forget to quickly check the sprues before binning. Don't want to accidentally bin good bits. Tackleboxes happen to be great for storing bits, a parts cabinet like picrel is also good.
>>97147066>>97146957I'm jealous of the little bag of bits ngl
>>97147775Models are great, photography is great too, what's your setup for photos look like?
>>97148096post pictures or it's all in your head
>>97149110Bleed on it
Hey uh quick tip for all you retards for next year, maybe ask for something slightly more specific than "Anything goes", you dipshits then proceed to shit and piss yourself when you don't get exactly what you actually wanted.You don't have to be so specific that you're asking for a certain faction (for wargames) or particular miniatures, but if I see one more match that reads "Idk lol" I am going to send you something else.
>>97148969why would you need a hobby specific one? if anything I would expect those to be taking advantage of people who don't know better.
>>97149166Yeah I dunno. It's all the same shit packed into a fancy plastic container.
>>97149166I don't think there is any advantage to a hobby specific compresser, you just need any capable of up to about 50 psi (though you only need to spray 20-30) that has a tank, adjustable pressure, and a moisture trap.
>>97149163It's very female coded, isn't it?Like asking what/where they want to eat, and they respond "Umm, I don't knooow, you pick"Cave their skulls in with hammers
AK is releasing acrylic washes in 18ml dropper bottles. Any chance that when mixed with their quick-gen medium that it will flow better around raised and recess details and stain flat surfaces less like when AP washes are mixed with speedpaint medium?>what I'm trying to describe: https://youtu.be/HMthFikfpHA?t=424Has such an acrylic mix blown up in the hobby online space like when oils and enamels did so long ago?
>>97149163>>97149216
>>97149216You say that like you aren't all doing a fucking secret santa. It's the most female office worker shit imaginable. I don't know why anyone does it. Just buy what you want yourself if you have the money to buy someone else a gift.
>>97149163I'm sorry, this was my first time and I honestly didn't want to put any pressure on my Santa.
>>97149298Because it's fun. Remember fun, anon?
>>97149180for compressors psi rating is less important than cfm and it's probably better to get a separate moisture trap.
>>97149163>you dipshits then proceed to shit and piss yourself when you don't get exactly what you actually wanted.Show us where this happened outside of your head
>>97149163>>97149216>>97149259>>97149298all me btw
>>97149099gloss>>97149126picrel pretty much
>>97146716Lots of blood flow to fingers, people have bled to death after losing a finger.
>>97149163I've seen zero complaints anon.
>>97149110Can't really see it to be honest. Also what model?
>pack up the gift all nice and even wrap it in Christmas paper>take it to the post office>they want eighty bucks to send it less than twenty miles over the borderYeah, fuck that.
>>97145472>>97145482Thanks, I think 1/48 scale tanks would fit my project. But I think I should 3d print their turrets for more scifi weapons.
>>97149733Merry Christmas, anon. You got yourself a present.
>>97142897>The cons outweighed the pros when I considered it.Pros>works very well with mats and terrain>you don't have to work on the base>looks unique as not many people use themCons>??
>>97149777>base frosts with glue>models look like they're floating>can't place character in their environment>miss out on making scenes on larger/character bases>tactical rocks/integrated terrain looks weird as fuck and can't easily be carved away and swapped for something more thematic
>>97149777post a pic of your clear bases anon
>>97149789>base frosts with glueSkill issue>models look like they're floatingIf you are playing on a flat bare table sure>can't place character in their environment"The rat has a sewer base and the ogre a rocky base, in any terrain ok!" This is just autism>miss out on making scenes on larger/character basesThe diorama club is that way -->>tactical rocks/integrated terrain looks weird as fuck and can't easily be carved away and swapped for something more thematicI absolutely give you that one
>>97149814>If you are playing on a flat bare table surenta, it doesn't matter, they look like floating because they are literally 3 o 4mm above the surface of the table on a transparent discalso>if you want to magnetize them for transport or whatever it will look like shit>if you have to pin a metal model it will also look bad
>>97149657>Also what model?Just some random 3d print file
>>97149755That's definitely a good idea.
>>97149163I have not seen one single anon complain about what they got and I am doing this for seven years now.
>>97149951I remember there being one a couple of years ago where they essentially got 1 model and a snack
Hey anons, I got an airbrush this month. It's been fun just trying stuff and learning. Any books or tutorials that helped you learn?
>>97149970H&S official YT channel is pretty good, obviously they use their own products but aside from that, they have very reasonable explanations without any memes or other bullshit.
>>97132250How many paint balls do I put into a single bottle?I got my order of AK 3rd gen paints since some anon vouched for them, ordered army painter "agitators" to put into them.How many per bottle? I do have some citadel paints, how many for them too?1 or 2?Also any advice on the best dark teal/turquoise armor plate colors for skavens? The citadel paint app is very weird, I thought stormfiends had those dark green armor, but turns out they are blue in the app.
>>97149961I feel like that's justified somewhat.
>>97150049Yeah it absolutely was and iirc everyone in the thread thought so too.
>>97149951I mean I got grinched two years in a row but I guess that doesn't count huh
Progress so far. I decided i switch his upper part backward so it would look more unique. what do u think about color sheme for legs? Rest is still mostly in primmer. I hope its gonna look good after wash.
>>97150067but that's not you complaining about what you got, you got nothing
>>97150091Ha! Yes, that's true.
My gf got me a mini of my favorite Digimon for my birthday.Base coating is mostly done, clean-up and detailing to follow.
>>97150028thanks anon, I actually picked up an H&S airbrush so I should have checked out their channel sooner. I've heard good things about Angel Giraldez's infinity book, but I can't find it anywhere in Japan
>>97150210NTA, but look no further: https://z-library.ec/book/23106134/a5fe65/painting-miniatures-from-a-to-z.html>HS airbrushBased, which one you got?
>>97150248Infinity 2024 since I want to go for some small detail work and use it in multimedia stuff for my regular artwork too
>>97150259Based, I also own Infinity. It's an incredible airbrush.
>>97150264>>97150248noice. thanks for the zlib rec by the way
I got into bulding minis a few months ago, already sank hundreds into plastic crack and I still haven't played a game. Trying to make some Sassanids here's my warlord/Shah kitbash. I might add a cape.
>>97150386And a half bard cataphract. Victrix horse body and front legs with a Fireforge head and chest.
>>97147775now i want to paint colorful egyptian skellies
