I guess I'll open with an early WIP of knights.
Just finished up by Beherek for an RTT this weekend. Had a lot of fun doing the gore on the back of the ork's head!
Progress on my dude, any suggestions?
Repostin' last night's daemonsmith.>>97897873Honestly I probably won't, though it's good advice. Every time I try that on my green flames they always seems to lose their luster to me. It's completely a personal preference to just keep the brightest spots yellow.
Finished kitbashing one of two War Rigs for Gaslands.This one is for the two red cars, so cleaner with tech gadgets, the next will be rusty and properly mad max with the greebles.
>>97898288>This one is for the two red cars, so cleaner with tech gadgetsYou should totally paint this like G1 Ultra Magnus
>>97898163Very nice. A couple of minor thoughts:1. The flames look good, going forward I would start with a brighter color at the bottom and a darker color at the top. Flames are not easy, I think I only got the hang of them recently.2. Most of the paint job looks fantastic, but I would try to thin down your paints for flames in future models. 3. Base is awesome. Love it. Same with the flame lighting effects on the rest of the model. Looks really nice.These are really minor details, which I think is what you're looking for.
>>97898149Looking good so far, I'd say different highlight or shadow colors on the whip and handle to differentiate them as different materials.
Reposting from the last thread, got distracted and started painting Huron’s goon squad instead of the chaplain. Really liking the direction I’m going with for the unit and use of a limited colour palette keeping.Averland yellow, evil sunz red, Corvus black, 50:50 khorne red/rhinox brown, gauss blaster green and corax white for anyone interested.>>97898163Beautiful work on the gem, was tempted by chorfs as a project last year but decided to stick to 40K till my backlog is significantly reduced.
For Vallejo skin wash, do I paint the figure skintone and apply the wash? It looks like its make the whole thing a lot redder. What wash is good for adding shades to skin colors?
>>97898379I still have to do washes, but do you think flesh wash or sepia for the rat tail whip?
>>97898315>optimus prime at homeBut that wouldn't match the team.
>>97898343>>97898457Thanks for the feedback guys! I'll take it to heart and hopefully improve on my next ventures. I still think flames are where I could improve most, and I'll definitely thin my paints next time (I quite literally didn't thin them on that guy lmao).I will say that those flames specifically were a bit tough to paint, as they're a bit more chaotic than some other flames, so trying to get a good spread from yellow to green to black was tough since they were very "flickery"(?). Picrel is some other flames I've done which I think were better, but I didn't have the correct airbrush to attempt OSL on at the time.
>>97898477If it's like Citadel's flash-toned washes and contrast paints, I suspect you are supposed to do it over a white undercoat. This is Guilliman Flesh Contrast paint over white.
>>97898477If you have a pinkish base skintone then use a richer orange brown wash after highlighting with a neutral (or even light green) mixed in for nose/cheekbones/chin/upper lip. If the wash is reddish then you probably need to apply if before highlighting, with a browner base tone.
>>97898509Sepia for the handle since it already has some wood texture you can capitalize on, then the flesh wash or even a dark purple for the rat tail whip. From there you can highlight with flesh tones, a subtle pale pink, or a light magenta. The purple/flesh would contrast nicely with the green armor you've got going on so I think you're heading in a great direction.
>>97898163Great osl
>>97898650The dark purple is a good idea, thanks!
What you think, good for alpha legion?Looks a bit goofier than I had imagined...
>>97899070It looks goofy, but not that bad.I'm not a fan of Knights or Hounds becoming "members" of (C)SM legions.
>>97898477Flesh wash is great.. just try it on a spare head if you have doubts.
>>97899078For fluff reasons or how come? I just love the dogs, been wanting some since they came out and saw someone selling a bunch on sprue. Got 3 for ~90€
Is there any mold or home appliance that one could use to make a lamprey-esque mouth from green stuff for a 28mm model? It's a wonderfully disgusting thing.
>>97899070its goofy but its cool
>>97899333
>>97899070Maybe add some mechanical bits to the hydra head?
>>97899340Thanks :)>>97899552Yeah it does clash quite a bit with the rest of the model, I'll try see if I can find some bits. Also plan to make the scales the same silver as the metals on the body so that should help too hopefully.
>>97897985Finished my last Heavy Weapons team
>>97897985Some metal Kasrkins, any tips on these would be appreciated
>>97899927Stop drybrushing everything. Thin your paints.Clean up the mould lines. Actually learn how to paint models, anon. The GW workflow of "basecoat > wash > highlight" is not a bad place to start, but don't take it as gospel, especially once you inevitably start getting better.
Real rough WIP of a Cenobite, for my WFRP campaign. I'd love some feedback before I hit it with the sanding sponges.
>>97900111Another angle.
>>97900111not sure what she doing or what she's holding in her left arm but her right arms seems at rest so the whip should be flacid, or at least going down
What's the best way to mock up a color scheme without actually painting a mini? I've just been coloring images in paint to see what I like, but there has to be a better way.>t. noob
>>97900127I based it off the career art. It's supposed to be an alms cup out of a skull. I'll make it a little clearer with the plasticard plank, but I could do with some coins to make it clearer. I like the whip swing, gives the pose some aggro while still not being an action pose.
>>97899927you need to spend more time in the planning stage before you start slopping paint on. look at each part of the model and ask yourself "what is this supposed to represent?" figure out what is a gun, what is armor, what is a grenade, etc. then ask yourself "what is this supposed to look like?" what do you imagine each thing is made out of? is it metal, is it plastic, is it some sci fi material? when you have figured all of this out then you can start putting paint down to match the conceptualized image you have created. when I look at your work all I see is a mess, because you jumped right to putting color down without considering what you were trying to depict.
Been blocking out colours on this guy, I think I need to desaturate the red and there's definitely cleanup to do, but otherwise I'm pretty happy so far
>>97900150i see, in that case i'd angle the whip the oposite side, as if she was striking outwards, as it is it looks weird, like she's gonna whip her leg
>>97900147in your 'puter with a photo editing program impcat isnt bad if you arent familiar with photo editing
Kill Team ready (for 4th edition). Only the commissar is left. A squad of spares, possibly Afriel Strain, or just the pale ghosts of the fallen.It was a fun project to kitbash something interesting out of cadian bodies.
Finished my Chaos Warriors for Advanced Heroquest. Next up are the Chaos Thugs.
A little pink to saturate the red.
>>97900529
Got a bit farther on my first Ulfenwatch. Honestly he's not really speaking to me, I'm not satisfied with how he's coming along. I tried following Vince's verdigris tutorial for the bronze but I'm not super happy with how it came out. There's still way too much shine for the look I'm going for. Does it at least look alright as it is now? Any suggestions for the shield? I through some brown on just because I had it on the palette but it doesn't do it for me.
>>97900904You just need an extra colour in there.
Slowly just started the browns
>>97900433>KriegsmanThey're called Kriegers
>>97901048I think something like cyan would look good, but I'm afraid it will blend too much with the verdigris on the bronze and just eat up the whole effect.
>>97900904when you think about it would it even make sense to have bronze plate but iron chain?
>>97898588Contrast is different from washes, right? From what I understand washes are for shadows, and contrasts/speed paints are an all in one, shade-base-highlight.>>97898628I gave it two coats of vallejo skin over a light base. You highlight before wash? I thought you highlight after wash. >>97899081I actually just checked I have flesh wash not skin wash. I also have umber and black washes that I plan to use for every other part. Its a 28mm miniature
>>97900904>>97901310Honestly the more I look at it the more I kinda wanna swap the armor materials. Bronze as a main color has been a pain in the ass trying to make a good color palette and it's not satisfying me. At least with silver I have a big cool color to counter the red. Then I can just do whatever with the shield.I'll paint another one up tomorrow and compare them.
base colors almost down some of the black will be metal, been awhile since I painted anything large.
>>97901398
>>97901376bronze armor and red cape is the 300 color palette
>>97899927strip and start again
>>97899927Always look at them from 3 feet away.
>>97899927You gotta cover up the gaps in slot bases before you do your basing, get some miliput or texture paste for that. You can cover them up with flock too but if you're going to do flock-only basing you need to completely cover the base, having visible base plastic around your basing looks fucking terrible.
Hey dudes I'm working on a thing; I was wondering, what gauge wire do people use as like electronic cables/wires for mini scale? Or is there some better option?
Got some nice recasts of the FW Space wolf upgrades, am using nu mk3 & mk2 and they look good but a little bare so I want to try sculpting some fur. full/half capes seem pretty obvious but idk where else to stick stuff. Still waiting on the sculpting tools to arrive, but does it look weird to sculpt fur on both sides? Pic related is one of my favorite pieces of heresy art and I always thought the cape looked more like fur than fabric
>>97901647Guitar string, you can just eyeball the size
>>97901746Oh, brilliant. Thanks
>>97899914Makes me wanna play Metal Slug. Very cool.
How's it coming along?
I mildly regret rushing this for an event, but also its done.
>>97899914>>97899927I could paint miniatures better than this when I was 10 y/oAre you even trying or just slopping paint whatever way into the miniatures?
>>97901310You have to brown up the chain and make it rusty for it to work, like they have cheap iron but it's too heavy for a full breastplate kinda thing. It's so shoddy though that it rusts easy.
>>97902421how about you provide some actual feedback for them
>>97893413>>97893416team mämmi reporting inalso missile chimeras
>>97902525Nice clean paintjob on the tanks. I've had to make the mämmi myself due to living abroad. This year it was better because I had brought proper mämmi malts from Finland, instead of using rye malts one can find from a brewery shop. Still not as dark as mämmi bought from the store, but delicious with cream.
>>97902525Those look very clean finn-anon, I'd love to play against them.
these legs were made for walking
