I still think that building, kitbashing, and painting minis and scale models is the best hobby in the world.
I don't understand how you paint different materials. for example say I have 3 bases. I want to paint one so it looks like gray metal, one so it looks like gray plastic, and one so it looks like gray cloth. what am I supposed to do differently to each one to create the appearance of each material?
>>98104760it sure feels like the holy trinityticks all my boxes atleast and have done so for nearly 30 years alreadystill part of my daily life and i have never regretted it
>>98104777Add texture to the mix.
>>98104795how?
>>98104777>i am too lazy to look up references for different materials, please spoonfeed meNo
>>98104777Like the other Anon says, giving them different textures works. Like in your example, painting the cloth by stippling or cross-hatching to give it a faint woven texture, while having the other elements smooth. Plastic Vs metal would then be a difference in contrast; grey metal having brighter, sharper highlights than grey plastic, for exampleYou can also use different temperatures, e.g. warm greys tend to read as being 'softer' than cold greys, so using warmer highlights can make something look more like cloth
How would you guys Heresify attack bikes? Head and torso are obvious enough, but im wondering if im missing anything obvious
House 2 got some basic paint. Those big buildings are a great way to finish up some older pots of paint
>>98104798Texture pastes for natural stuff. Sanding, drilling, Tamiya Putty method for steel, iron and general metal. There's a Nightshift video in OP, he has multiple tutorials about that. Otherwise, you simulate materials by weathering.
>>98104803I know what metal and cloth look like. I'm asking what you are supposed to do with your paint to make it look like that.>>98104812how would you highlight something like a completely flat base?
>>98104822ok for another example say you have a character wearing a coat. what would you do differently to make it look like it's made of wool vs making it look like a rain slicker? surely you wouldn't be putting texture paste on it.
>>98103316dakkadakka is just as unusable because it's filled with grogs who will whip themselves into a frenzy if you dare enjoy anything modern warhammer or modern (insert thing) like fuck off man, leave me alone, i want to enjoy my minis i dont CARE about primaris or whatever other stupid bullshit you're hung up on
>>98104834stippling
>>98104846Use your fucking eyes man, you already got told how different materials behave and to use references
>>98104734Finishing up my meme machine then converting some scout snipers into eliminators
>>98104834>how would you highlight something like a completely flat base?Decide where the light is hitting it, put highlights on that bit. Just take a base and hold it under a lamp, move it about a bit, pay attention to how the light's falling on it
>>98104543The point is canceling out the orange like anon asked, the left one had fire dragon bright as the last layer so it was pretty orangey. Here's some older cloaks with a slightly warmer hue>>98104694Thanks, it's gsw matteI also put down a somewhat thick gloss coat before the glaze to smoothen the texture a bit (I sponged those reds roughly)
Test mini for ultras and first time using an airbrushOriginally quite happy with the bright blue but feel like it clashes with the metallics a bitIs there anything I can do to tie it togetherSoz for fingers I don't own a lightbox
>>98104846Here's an example of different types of cloth together on one mini. The curtain is a "rougher" cloth, done with lots of cross hatching and tiny lines to show more texture. The sash is a "softer" cloth like silk, that looks like its mostly done with glazing and stippling to give texture but not as defined texture. The pants and shirt are in between. With different brush strokes the illusion of textured cloth looks differently.
>>98103966>>98103974I don't have a photo of it but right underneath the guard of the blade is where it snapped. The handle of the sword is just really thin so I'm not sure what I would use for the pin itself even if I have a small enough drill bit
>>98104864ok so if I use the blanket on my bed as a reference it looks flat when you look at it straight on, but if you look at it from an angle it is reflective. how do I paint that on a flat surface?
>>98104954Damn. What miniature is that?
>>98105059Probably something from necromunda if I had to guess.
>>98104777A material is a combination of color, glossiness, and texture. If those are all the same, you can't visually tell the difference between metal, plastic, and cloth, even in real life.
>>98105064
>>98105059High level golden demon entries are often heavily kitbashed/converted, sometimes even scratch built. The model may not even exist.
>>98104816Get recasts of Outrider bike kit, but it's a bit too late in your case.
>>98104987If a paperclip is too thick then you can get smaller brass rods at hobby stores. Worst case you can cut it flush at the hand and drill into the hand to connect the hilt a little closer. Other option would be to hide the connection point with small chain or floral wire and paint it as a decoration, black templar style.
>>98105080he does exist. >>98105059House Greim Military Attaché
>>98105080I found it. House Greim Military Attaché.He looks like he would fit right in as a commander for my vostroyan army. Just needs a greenstuff hat.
>>98104945just a note, 'el dia del orgullo friki' has nothing to do with lgtb shit, it predates mainstream wokism
>>98105143I'm fairly certain that advertisement was in English, I'm not clicking the back button to double check though.
>>98105138>>98105141Cool, just saying you shouldn't get your hopes up with these.
>>98105143>>98105158nobody fucking cares, don't bring this garbage into the new thread
>>98105168>no discussing painting techniques!>no discussing paints!>only post models!>no, I will not post models!Get fucked, Herr Hitler.
Finally finished my Nagash.
>>98105181culturewar shitposting has nothing to do with any of these you fucking subhuman trash
>>98105202Yes, instead we should all post as you do, raging in futility at strangers we cannot control who will not only refuse to obey us, but actively continue doing what we hate just to spite them for daring to even try ordering us around.This will definitely improve the thread, mmhmm.
>>98105080That is less and less true these days.
not /wip/ related but today i put my brushes down first time this yeargot beers and we had few games to learn the rulesi had a really fun day
>>98105237The opposite if anything, now with 3D printing, more and more people are bringing their own unique models.
>>98105245I'm happy for you anon, glad you had fun
>>98105226This guy gets it. The only way to silence shitposters is to not engage.
Reminder to report and not engage.
>>98105245Wait, actually playing with minis?!You are turtley enough for the turtle club!
>>98105195>tfw we never got a good nagash model
>>98105277Not* fuck.
>>98105226>if you call out off topic retards, you lose!Lol.
>>98105304I still like it, the goofy charme is what it makes so lovely. Would still love to get a fitting model for his pic related artwork.
>>98105336Don't feed the trolls is like the oldest rule on the internet.
>>98105397Zoomers weren't there so don't know, and they call those of us who were there "boomer" then refuse to listen.
Okay, so to get back to question from previous thread - assuming I would ditch the airbrush now, most logical way would be both glazing some dark red into shadows and magenta into highlights + some drybrushing? In this particular case I used AK Brick Red over gray primer as a base and tried to highlight with Scarlet Red.
>>98105510Why not shade it with an airbrush?
>>98105336Yea? Why are you quoting it like that's not true. Retard.
Bought some milliput on a whim. Anyone got some good tutorials (pdf/image or video) on getting started with sculpting?
>>98104916I like the contrast between the blue and silver, personally.Welcome to the airbrush club. Those flat coats are addictive, aren't they?What's your PSI at? I'd turn it down a bit, when the paint hits the mini it's supposed to still flow a little bit so it's not grainy.Using a fridge as a lightbox isn't just a meme, although it's not forbidden to use your fingers or show your workspace.
>>98105519I hate masking and I start to think that it's not for me - every time I pick it up, setup everything, etc I have shaking hands from constant worry about everything. Can't really relax when my mind is filled with "please don't clog, please don't dry inside" and so on.
>>98105562This guy is great, him being a 4view is proof there's no justice on youtube.https://www.youtube.com/@lastlightcreative6537
>>98105393>the goofy charme is what it makes so lovelyyeah it is cool and iconic, but it is very much not a good model
>>98104232once I get the formula nailed down I'll be able to paint the rest more quickly, I hope :p
>>98105634sometimes less is more
>>98105575Thanks
>>98104849I always wonder about people who fixate on the one place left where the consensus doesn't agree with them. Do you just want them driven off the internet?>the forum from the 00s still holds on to manlet marines when you have the entire rest of the internetI think you'll be fine.It's like people who say 40k isn't corpo enough (somehow) when Disneyslop is right there, or 4chan isn't censored enough when you have literally every other site on the rest of the clearnet.You didn't say that, I know, but my point is leave the grogs alone, they've suffered enough and they're obviously not influencing current GW (although I wish they were).
>>98105775I always wonder about the anons who fixate on the one anon ITT that doesn’t agree with them.
>>98105830
>>98105245Based
>>98105830No one is fixating on you, craftsperg. Various people are just calling your narcissistic retardation out, simple as.
>>98105830Having different opinions is not the same as being a mentally ill, contrarian faggot only looking to start pointless arguments
>>98105962we'll have to take your word for it
>>98105830The last thread had 380 odd replies and about 75 images. Make that make sense. Some people would actually like the wip threads to focus on painting and modelling, not some anons asinine opinion about some random unrelated bullshit.Please, for the love of God, aspire to actually contribute something of worth instead of the likes of the absolute wank that polluted the previous thread.Here's a pic of a lancer I did a few months ago, im proud of it show ill show it off in here again to make my point amd actually post a mini.These threads used to actually be a decent resource for critique and learning. Please stfu.
>>98105861At least he posts some fucking minis.
>>98105995be less obvious with your samefagging
Some new edition Heroquest skeleton, still need to work on the bases.
>>98106023Luv me some harsh rust.I wouldn't have noticed anything wrong with the bases other than some shininess in the "dirt". Are you going to varnish though?
>>98106023Looks good. How'd you do that rust effect?
I'm currently working on some weapon specialists.
>>98106065Love the looks and the color.
I finished my nurgle banner, and with that the full set is complete. What do you guys think? Which one is your favorite?
>>98106352>What do you guys think?Not bad for a first mini, thin your paints though.Nah, that's insane. My favorite one is the Nurgle one but I'm biased towards Nurgle in general.
>>98106352luv the lil nurgling
>>98106352I like the nurgling one, the daemonette looks very goofy, but apart from that they are all sovl gz
>>98106352Lovely work.
New at this, tried to do a cave-like base, what can I improve or change to make it better? The green smudge on the stalactites is supposed to be lichen
>>98106352I like the Khorne one but I'm biased.. >>98105647Progressing at a decent pace. Shaded the baal red with blood angels red. Going to highlight the red with Reaper sunrise orange next.
>>98106501you can always add a tiny mushroom or two, or some more small rocks with more different shades and textures from the ground
Almost done with the box set. I like painting cloth.
I've got some clear aquarium gravel I planned to use for basing, but due to how it was manufactured, there are two flat and unnatural looking faces to it.it's as if it was poured and hardened, then broken up into small pieces, but you can tell the top and bottom where it is perfectly flat and smooth.I think it's glass, but I have no idea what type.I tried smashing with a hammer to make smaller, more random pieces but very mixed results.any suggestions or tips?
>>98106755Mind posting a pic? Sounds like it could be decent for a broken mosaic/temple floor type deal. Super glue it down somewhat uniformly with spots of irregular/broken "tiles" here and there, and weather the more broken spots accordingly when painted. Can fill in the gaps in between with thinned texture paste for "grout", or can use regular texture paste to make mud for a dirtier look.
>>98106501Mushrooms and moss tufts. I night also considered doing your base edge in a color other than black. It blends in with the cave colors.
>>98105195Great work anon.
>>98106553that dp has slaneesh face, a bull. Khorne is a dog anon, you have confosued them both and this will anger khorne. Expect a bunch of bad dice rolls.
>>98106820it's pretty thick, I was hoping to use it as crystals/mineral deposits scattered around. Like quartz almost
>>98105843>>98105861>>98105991>>98105962I’ll always wonder about the nufags who fixate on the one comment they disagree with
I should really remember to post more WIPs when they're at their beginning stages. Took a break from my Raveners to work on the new Yarrick sculpt
I feel like I'm getting baited in the other thread but it seems like anons just ask their clanker gf about "what could cause a paint to xyz" and end up talking about some hallucinated edge case that will never happen with miniature paints.
Has anyone ever used coffee grounds and tea leaves as basing material? Heard about this recently, but I'm curious if that wouldn't just lead to your bases rotting.
>>98107210Oh yeah a lot thicker than I thought. You can totes use that for quartz. Get some green stuff and make a little mound and let it set for 20 or so minutes, then push a piece of the glass down into it to set its place. Pull it out, little dab of superglue, then crystal back down and leave it to set. Once the greenstuff is set superglue it to your base then texture paste it up to blend in. You'll get a rough rock with the quartz growing out of it and it should be pretty well anchored.
>>98107330Yea leaves are already dry so I imagine after spray varnishing to seal them they should be alright. Coffee grounds I wouldn't fuck with, just sounds like a mold issue waiting to happen.
>>98107330You can bake the coffee grounds dry, but I don't see anything they offer over sand.
>>98105775never SAID i wanted to bother them, i just pointed out that it's unusable for it's own host of problems, clearly i have no interest in using it due to this. Hell, if they werent prone to freaking out on their own its not like i (personally) cant co-exist with em
>>98107217Good looking model. What do you have left, breastplate?
>>98105304>be GW sculptor in its peak>sculpt model>boss tells you nah make head without helmet>be retard and sculpt shit head thinking boss will go back to original head on seeing it>boss is cool and trusts you and doesn't even check>mini gets released and everyone is like wtf
>>98107217Fentanyl yarrick has seen better days
>>98105304>he doesnt know
>>98106058The third one has an almost finished base, the rest just got a layer of Agrax Earthshade and I still need to highlight the rocks.For the varnish, I'm not too sure, the first time I tried to do it, the minis were a bit sticky and I didn't like it, but I probably fucked up something.>>98106063I used Army Painter's Fresh Rust Effect (which add a bit of texture).Then I used AK's Light Rust Deposit to add a bit of natural yellowish rust.I blend everything together with Dirty Down Rust diluted with water.Final touch with standard Dirty Down Rust in the darker areas.
>>98104734Can i use this stuff for basing?
>>98106352I like them all, the Slaanesh one definitely has a bigger visual dissonance with how lighthearted it is comparatively, but it's fun.
>>98108023he made a 'second nagash' without gw involvement and it's not much better
>>98108158sure why not
>>98105564Added highlights/chipping and he's looking a lot more cohesiveIt's a shitty airbrush that just has 3 compressor settings, no PSI listed
>>98108621I dont quite like the whole gun being metal. I feel like you could make it look way more interesting by painting some parts in different colours.
>>98108621>>98108668
The forbidden parmigiano
>Liquitex inks on sale locallyAny colors worth getting? I already got the white mainly for fluorescent paints.
>>98108763Might try this outOriginally wanted red gun casings but then tried out pure metal backpack and thought it would look better with a metal gun.
>>98108875It does not look as good as red because there is a clear material difference between the barrel and the housing.
I finished my first commission
>>98108861do they reactivate?
>>98105245Nice! I've played a game just 2 days ago as well. BFG is one of the, if not the best game GW ever did.
fully assembled nowjust the shield, doodads and cleanup left
>>98106352The Nurgle one is adorable.
>>98108158Just use sand
>>98108910tell me enginseer what materials is a bolter made out of?
>>98106553>>98106890Maybe Khorne and slaanesh are mean cos they secretly like each other??,,Progress of the day. Mostly the colours are figured out, more shading and highlighting tomorrow. Anons, do you think I should go darker green on the bases?
>>98109272Daemon prince progress,, will wing it on the axe tomorrow. Leaning towards just it being a big hunk of metal (brass/gold + steel looking). But could attempt some kind of airbrush glow fuckery
>>98109293
how'd one go about painting some towers like on this pic?I'm thinking of some light brown primer, wash in the recesses and then a layer of off-white bone color sponged for main color?
>>98109296And lastly finished printing my rhino bits. Bit of a dodgy one but I can hand wave the shitty build as chaos possession or some such
>>98108158That makes mustard gas
>>98107548His coat needs the most work. Gotta get the highlighting, the colored trim on the sleeves etc. Maybe make his eye a little less vacant (no idea how). Push the red on his hat a little brighter and otherwise wing it as I go.>>98108026Any suggestions for getting him through rehab?
>>98109242Plastek obviously
>>98109353Glad you posted this so I didn't have to
>>98109272I'm leaning towards one of these two . Opinions??
>>98109419Green?
>>98109300I would just paint it white and then hit it with a brown wash
>>98109419I prefer the minty fresh planet being invaded by Khrone. Also dude on the far left captivated by his sword is kino.
Any ideas for a symbol for my craft world? The scheme is white and red. I was going to do a bloody hand, but that would probably be too similar to Iybraesil.
>>98109419>>98109463I agree the mint bases are really cool and unique. I would personally keep those but rim the base black
>>98109429>>98109463>>98109533Damnit I really wanted to commit to the unique mint but I can't shake the memory of mathias leahys perfect Gray bases, forever etched into my mind... I just vastly prefer neutral gray now that I see the mint, any anons want 5 bottles of AK green sky? lol
>>98109463>dude on the far left captivated by his sword is kinoThanks anon, that's one of the joys of using real models off ebay, because they used some kind of mega uber 90s super glue. I decided to work around the posing restriction rather than reposing the arms and it ended up looking awesome
>>98109431makes sense, I was overthinking it perhaps
>>98109589We have just folded space from Ix...
>>98109024They're meant to be permanent inks, but it seems to be mixed with nobody figuring out what might cause such things if it does.
>>98108158Isn't this is just modeling paste mixed with sand?
>>98109024If you airbrush them the layers are very thin and super easy to rip apart with a brush. If you airbrush inks its good to do a layer of varnish on top to protect it before painting on top.
>>98109419r.i.p mint bases. *performs sign of the cross*Shading all done, now I have to wait 5 hours for my fiance to go to work so I can bust out the airbrush and do some AK ultra matte before highlighting. Why is agrax so damn shiny?
>>98109692Many minis on Ix. New minis. Better than those on Richese.
Is Vallejo texture paste the same as artist modeling paste, but with color and sand?
>>98109599>using models off ebayfucking ebay minis glued with epoxy and primed with ultra strong automotive/industrial paint
>>98109904>Why is agrax so damn shinydid you shake it WELLlike, well, WELL ? so no layer of precipitate remains at the bottom?

hey WIP, working on a rhino and thought I'd use the tank commander as the first test model for my new Dusk Watchers space marines. quartered grey/ivory scheme.
>>98110405Dusk Watchers Johnny ... when?
>>98110451when I find one for sale that isn't some boomer going "I know what I got"

>>98110405Kino scheme anon, are you going to put rhino on a base?>>98110451Good to see my tau johnny still in the collage :)
>>98110575Thanks anon, and I don't plan to unless the rumored rhino refresh puts them on bases.
>>98104816Ideally you'd just change the marine's torsos, backpacks, pads and helmets but if you just change the pads and helemts it'd already to a lot for them visually. Maybe fie off the wings from the chests
>>98110477>>98110483Triggered this hard by a throwaway ai gen. Damn it must be hard being a redditor pussy
Can space marines actually walk through a swamp without getting bogged down? Maybe the super thick bolterjugend legs act like grousers.
>>98110607>slopper calling anyone a redditorcomedy gold
>>98110202Thanks elon, very cool
>>98110608No, a powerarmor like that is a retarded concept for irl application, it would get defeated by a stairwell that can't hold their weight, or by a tight corridor. However, power armor is also extremely cool, and power armor trudging through swamp moreso.
>>98110608>Can space marines actually walk through a swamp without getting bogged down? Good point ... Some kind of space magic ?Got any other mantis warrior units painted? Would love to see them

>>98110641>enjoy slop else you are redditorProceed to the nearest gas chamber. Slop is slop, keep it for your fellow tasteless subhumans and don't shit up what is otherwise a pretty good thread most of the time.
>>98110693If you are unable to comprehend that people might come here to see other people's creativity and not some genai dogshit, then you are even more retarded than expected.
>>98110687Of course it's slop, it's a throwaway joke on the internet.

Here is my newest test model. I need to get more blues. I only have dark blue so the finish is not so good
>>98110724
>>98110724This is why you start with very staurated primary colours, you could mix grey and into a saturated blue to get those shades you have there, but you can't re-saturate those shades to a bright hue.
>>98110630>a stairwell that can't hold their weightIn such a circumstance they can demolish the supports for the ground floor and bring the enemy down to them.It's perfectly fine for IRL application, you just have to consider how it will alter the field of battle rather than only thinking how it can be fit into the existing circumstances of combat.
I seriously hope these looks like "transparent skintight cloth over skin" I intended it to be. What would you say?
>>98110630>it would get defeated by a stairwell that can't hold their weightThis happened in a book, space marine crashed through the stairs and ended up in the basement, they had to get a crane to get him out and his squad gave him shit about it.
>>98110770No, these look like "I have airbrushed a zenithal over my primer and have yet to actually start painting"
>>98110765>get fucked up by 3m tall power-armor wearing walking tanks>build next fortification to be composed of tight corridors where they can't fit or at least maneuver effectively>all stairwells are now rated only to certain weight, using external structure inside concrete buildings>drone their asses>RPG their assesNah anon, it's just ain't practical. I wish it was, just like mechs, but it's not. >>98110778That's pretty cool. You know the name of the book?
>>98110781Fug. It was "burn umber + smoke black" over gray primer, then umber alone, then "beige red + burn umber", then beige red alone.Not gonna make it, it seems.
>>98110770It'd maybe help to see it in reference to the rest of the model; but like the other guy said, at the moment I'm not really getting much more than a flat area spray
>>98110798>build next fortification >rapes your fortification with advanced imperial weaponrybut I can still see space marine dying to bog
>>98110808Rest of the model is in pieces to avoid masking too much. So I take that fixing would involve glazing more contrasting shadows and highlights?
>>98110770I disagree with the other two, I think this will work in context.
>>98110817>So I take that fixing would involve glazing more contrasting shadows and highlights?No one can offer any constructive feedback without seeing the rest of the model. Think logically.
>>98110798>You know the name of the book?Master of Sanctity. There's also one of the Ciaphas Cain books where he's with the reclaimers chapter (who's colors are based on the Wombles), and everyone is really nervous about the creaking stairs that they're going down. In the deathwatch omnibus we meet Omni, a short imperial fist who is really sensitive about being a manlet so he lifts and gets so swole his armor can't be expanded anymore, his captain forbiding him from getting any wider. He encounters a door he has trouble getting through so he ends up ripping it off its hinges to squeeze through the hole. In the Ragnar Blackmane books we meet Haegar, a massive space wolf who is the only fat space marine we meet, he's constantly eating but its mostly muscle. Dude uses a thunderhammer one handed, loves to throw his thunderhammer at dudes (took a dreadnought's knee) then complains that he has to now go and get it back.
>>98110810>dying to bogBut can't they survive trapped in their armor for a very long time? Just wait for the fighting to be over and get dredged out of the swamp.
>>98110895Nice, thanks!
>>98110880Well, the last "in full" shoot was from before priming, when I assembled the custom to take a final look. Parts I'm showing are her belly, back and chest section.
>>98109526Alright I'm probably going to do some variation of picrel, but what color should I use for the circle?Again the main color of my army will be white with red accents, but all three of these other colors will be used in various other places.Maybe I change the circle color based on where the logo appears?
>>98110960you could make the circle a discontinuous outline and make it also red
>>98110923Do the rest first, then we'll see if it works or needs work.
>>98110724>>98110748The scheme is nice and I really like those high contrast volumes.>>98110608I don't know if these guys can walk through a swamp but they sure are going to look great when attempting it, the green is lovely.>>98109904That's a super nice red, really makes your guys pop.>>98109023I think you did a great job and painted these pretty fast too!>>98106640Cloth is really fun to paint once you get the hang of it, same thing with skin. The skelly looks great, that red cloth provides such a nice contrast.>>98106352They're all fantastic! I think I like the Tzeentch one the most.>>98106023That rust effect is really nice, good job!
>>98110607amigo, i aint mad. it's funny
>>98110990>participation award unlockedDamn anon, I didn't think my painting was that bad...
>>98111007you didn't paint any of those
>>98111007No, bad paint jobs get (you)'s, so do really good ones. That means yours are okay.
>>98110817That could help, yes, but you don't want it as lustrous as that might make it if it's just "transparent, skintight cloth." It may need to be flatter or more bright depending on how you're painting the armor up here >>98110923. Just keep painting up the rest of her and we can circle back to this later
>>98110770what's this model?
>>98111015>I compliment the bad the same as the goodThat actually means that it is meaningless.
>>98111007>>98111039don't you have some cow shit to shovel or something
>>98111038Follow the comment chain
Me? I'm a better painter than all of you. I won't post my minis as the sheer skill overload would instantly burn out your retinas.
>>98111039The bad ones don't get compliments, just (you)'s.
>>98110923Add a solid black outline and fainter black crosshatching to the cloth areas, you need texture to make it read right.
>>98111066it's all dopamine to me
I stopped complimenting people consistently since the last time a regular here got a lot of compliments one or two jealous schizos spent two days shitposting about it
>>98111090Nah, that's just forcing the issue.>>98111105Jealousy is flattery.
>>98111105Don't let the sperg(s) win, anon.
>>98111116>forcing itWell yes, the material you have is acrylic paint over plastic, if you want it to read as cloth and skin you kind of have to force it, that's the very reason all of our painting is exaggerated and not realistic.
>>98111092Just put a question in your post, 50% of the time it works 100% of the time.
>>98111130A confident declaration of some "truth" or another works 100% of the time.
>>98111105>people calling out samefagging are schizos, shomeowkek
>>98111128You can use tricks like that to sell an effect, but it's not always necessary. I want to see the fully painted model before making that judgement.
>>98111136>no it's samefagging I just know it you have to trust me>why am I being called a schizo for assuming all posts I don't approve of are from one person???
>>98111135Well shit, I'm convinced.
Do primers go bad after time? Just tried to spray chaos black and I had splattering so bad it was more like gloppingI shook it for a few minutes and sprayed in ~80F degree shade with ~50-60% humidity
Kommandos are going on their bases today.

>>98111152Did you clear the nozzle the last time you used it? Hold the can upside down and spray until there isn't any more paint and it comes out clear. Also GW spray nozzles aren't the best quality, something to keep in mind.

>>98111177Yeah, I get it, but now you've changed what he was going for and it might not even be necessary to sell the effect.

>>98111177Looks like anime ninja wear.
Alright, I think I get the idea. I will continue with painting then, now moving to brush. Some small cross lines could help at most upper parts, it will be covered by gloss or satin varnish in the end, as opposed to matte in the rest.
>>98111204I recently learned that that stuff in naruto was supposed to be chainmail, not fishnets. What a dissapointment.
>>98111249Incredible how time goes on and still naruto manages to become even shittier
>>98111249That can't be right.
>>98111273there's a scene where a guy lifts is up and it makes a clinking noise.
>>98111319I stand corrected then. My brain will keep seeing it as fishnets however.
>>98111319chainmail is made of circles
>>98111319..I guess it's supposed to be wire or something? Or the artist just didn't want to draw actual chain mail for 1 million panels.
>>98111179There's a contingency for that.

I'm not sure how to spell the onomatopoeia that should accompany this image, but I can hear it in my mind, and it is gross.
>need to base my eldarI can't decide between wraithbone bases, desert bases, or wraithbone ruin bases
>>98108861Their burnt umber is insanely good. It uses transparent red oxide and carbon black, so it has this saturated luminosity very rare in brown paints.>>98109024They have acrylic polymer, so "no". Like >>98109880 said, they are very thin, so they have a tendency to tear (and stain). I am more likely to use Golden high flow for that reason.>>98109730Holy ESL.
>>98111573It's giving blorb.>>98111580Wraithbone ruin in a desert bases.
>>98111153Superglued down, letting the glue cure then I'll adjust shadows and do touchups and rims. Once that's dry one last coat of matte varnish and we're done.
>>98111353But that's more effort to draw
>>98111775>Based 1Based indeed.I've been considering painting in oils (I got some for washes and they're pretty neat), but that drying time is brutal.
Do most spray primers besides whites and near whites cover well? I know Colour Forge black covers great but I'm curious about the other colors. Peachy peach looks like a good soft brown that lighter colors would go over easily. Anyone try it out?
>>98111840I've never met a primer that didn't cover 100%.
>>98111859In my experience with AP white and Colour Forge ghoul grey it would take at least two solid coats for full coverage. But other than blacks my only other primer experience has been with AP dark red. I have no real reason to doubt that peach will be good, just curious about others' opinions.
i fucking suck at this...
>>98111840>Peachy peach looks like a good soft brownI know that's supposed to be a match for Citadel Cadian Fleshtone
Working on my 2nd Dread, slowly trying to dial in how much Purple Ink and Reikland Fleshshade for my recess shading to go for.
are you allowed to paint things any color you want
>>98111954No, if you don't follow the box art, GW will send assassins to your house.
>>98111954No if you don't copy an existing paint scheme you're gonna find out what that homeless guy is really capable of
>>98111990>>98111976fuck me... i just made the little circlet hing on a pauldron blue instead of gold...
>>98111997You're already dead. Call your mother and tell her you love her.
>>98111997You still have to to paint over it before the ICBM strikes your house.>>98111892You'll need to be more specific.I like the look of the purple shadows for the yellow armor, but it needs to be MUCH softer. I would thin the purple ink way down, probably at least 3:1, and glaze those shadows in a few times.
>>98111949Purple ink huh. I like it.
>>98112038Just AK Purple ink watered down, you can always highlight and glaze colour back in if you over do it

>>98112018>>98112036you guys are pulling my legi think im gonna paint my last 2 stormforged or whatever they're called silver and red, instead of gold and blue
>>98112067Yes anon, doing whatever the fuck you want is part of the fun.
>>98110724That power fist shading seems like it should be the opposite and a highlight
>>98111954Depends, GW paint or brushes will not work if you try to paint different colour schemes
I can't bring myself to paint. Hate when I get like this.
Anyone got experience with hydrophobic primers? I sprayed some shit with white rustoleum primer and my paint just beads up on it
>>98112285>rustoleumlmao
>>98112299Consider sewerslide
>>98112299I've never had an issue with the grey or the black, and I'm pretty sure I've never had this issue with the white before this either since I have two cans of it and I wouldn't have bought the second one if the first was acting this way.
I'm building my own spray booth out of a plastic storage tub. How should I mount filters in the back of it? I know that there should be an empty void behind it to help suction, but should the filter be angled in a specific way to help avoid paint hitting it directly?
>>98111811Can always start by laying down an acrylic basecoat and just doing a wash and highlights on top of it, thats how I started out. Takes a few days to dry since you only have one or two layers of oil instead of starting from a preglaze. Especially if you leave the oils on some parchment paper on top of a piece of cardboard to leech out some of the excess linseed oil. Also having a good work flow helps. Like after I do the touchups and shadows on the kommando's I'll start working on my word bearers, probably going to do one last test model to hash out the metallic oil mixes before I start on the kill team. Once I've done some of the word bearers the kommandos will be dry enough to varnish, and I'll start putting some time into the vet guard that I currently have soaking in LA's totally awesome. Once the first batch of word bearers are dry I'll break out the airbrush to matte varnish them and prime the vet guard at the same time. Just always leaving myself something to work on while something else is drying. Being able to freeze my oil palette and save mixes for a few sessions makes it pretty seamless to get back into it, just need to let the paint warm up about 20 minutes while I get the rest of my tools and mineral spirits set up. After getting used to how easy it is to get smooth blends with the oils its hard to go back to glazing acrylics.
>>98112285Post a pic of the can, I've used it and had no issuesWhat mini?
>>98112092For example I'm making a Cities of Banggadishu army for AoS based on ancient African culture and 1/4 inhabitants will be racially european to ensure fair representation! Pic related
>>98112415It's just a normal can of 2x primer, granted it's been sitting probably a year or two since I last used it but so had my black and grey cans and neither of those developed this issue
>>98112448oh no...
>>98112285Add rinse aid to your base coat, it can make your first layer spread out giving further layers something to stick too.
>>98112056you are welcome

>>98112285>I sprayed some shit with white rustoleum primer and my paint just beads up on itI literally just had the same problem. I didn't know how many years it's been sitting, but it's definitely fucking shit up.
>>98112448that mean too thick coat most of the time
>>98112531How does too much of something designed for paint to stick to it result in paint not sticking?
Should i make a khornling to counter the nurgling menace?
>>98112560I'm already thinking metal snotling for the body ..
>>98112560Yes. The sword needs to be a full sized bloodthirster sword that he's dragging behind himself.
>>98112573just had a funny vision of a khornling daemon prince with a massive sword and wings and a tiny body
I gotta say, if Vallejo is doing one thing right, it's metallics. So nice.
>>98112285smdh it's 2026 love is love
>>98110817>>98110799you are over complicating it. just paint the skin color and then paint the cloth color on top of it.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kAaIqklK5Tk
>>98112659which ones? i have some of the metal color range and they are great except they do split on my palette i think because they're airbrush paints. once they're on your brush though they're great and cover really nicely with thin coats.
>>98112750I've been using the Metal Colors (notably Duraluminium, Dark Aluminium, and Copper) for a while now, and they are all great. I bought some of their TMM range (Obsidian Black and Imperial Gold) and they are excellent. Especially the Light Imperial Gold is probably my favorite gold paint atm.
https://youtu.be/H54uIxere4k?t=41>watching this video>the guy is using craft paintwtf I thought this wasn't allowed
>>98112793>using it as a heavily diluted filter on a massive modelYou answered yourself, anon. Please cease retardation.
>>98112818if you watch the first part he was using tube craft paint for the skin tone
>>98112793And now you know it's just fine.
>>98112346Paint is pretty heavy, so what you really want is the airflow to pull it into the booth and keep it there until it settles. As long as you have a hepa grade filter that the paint won't go through if it happens to hit the filter you're golden.
Some more Steel Rift Ultra Lights
>>98112346the diy spray booths I've seen are basically a double box. the front box is the working area and the rear box is where the fan connects. the middle wall is a frame for a filter. if you are worried about paint clogging up your expensive hepa filter you can put a layer of cheap cotton wadding in front of it.
>>98113047Anutha one
Putting my all into my first character model in a bit. I need some guidance on the skin since I'm not well versed on living flesh. I want to go for the look of a white guy in a cold place. So pale skin with a lot of rosy color to the cheeks and nose. So far I based in Bugman Glow, layered in TTC Griffon Claw and did a layer of Guilliman flesh. Which I need to fix because I ended up with a seam on his forehead.Anyway, any advice on how to proceed? I also have Flayed One Flesh.
>>98112750>>98112787it's actually unreal how good VMC silver metallics are, one unthinned coat over a dark basecoat is usually enough, two if it's brightthat said my favourite golds and bronzes go to duncan, ancient gold in particular is my waifu
>>98111336I think its only fishnets for the kunoichi girls
>>98111177I can appreciate this, but having the lines skewed really hurts the effect. I think it would be worth it to redo it
>>98112056flag poles and bullet holes
>>98113187It's an MS Paint edit anon.
Got a death korps kit for my birthday and never built it but I was bored so I put these dudes together today. Never built 40k minis before but they're pretty cool. I wanted to paint them in an iron warriors paint scheme cause of the hazard stripes but I might do something else, mainly just thinking of what color the coats should be. I was thinking yellow cause the steel legion but red might also look nice. I might do both just to see how it turns out.
>>98112996>>98113063Well I was wondering if it would be better if I tilted the filter, the airbrush wouldn't be pointing directly at it, this it would last longer. I was going to use a regular air duct filter, but I'll look at getting hepa.
>>98112541The propellant etches the surface and creates a roughness that paint can adhere to. Too much of the paint flooding the mini creates a self-levelling effect which causes a smooth outer layer, hiding the etched bits
Somewhat heresified my attack bikes, replace torsos with mk6 torsos and the like, Cant do anything about the legs and power packs are a real tight fit to fuck around and modify beyond copping off extra skulls/icons.sorry for such a potato photo, feedback is welcome with the limited tools/bits I have
finished my easterling musician - kataphrakt drummerMiddle earth doesnt get as much attention by people as 40k and the other warhammers but I wanted to share the finished mini here with you.
>>98113883Very soulful anon
>>98113892Appreciate it, the brown leathers came out good with the metallics and burgundy. I'd paint middle earth stuff, except the first kits I tried were nightmares to build and swore me off the range.
>>98111580Without a fair bit of work, you're going to deal with the fact that almost every modern Eldar unit has at least one model on a wraithbone ruin tactical rock.
>>98112541because it not a chemical bond its a physical one, primer should be rough at the microscopical level for paint to adhere better, inf you flood the thing it levels and creates a too smooth surface on wich paint just slidessame happens with matt varnish, it's matt because it's rough, if you use too much the binder fills the microroughness the matting agent creates and diminishes the effect
>>98113883Looks gangsta as fuck anon well done
>>98113780it doesn't really matter where the airbrush is pointing. you want enough airflow that anything you spray into the booth will get sucked through the filter regardless of what angle it came from. a properly functioning spray booth will hold a loose piece of cardboard against the filter just from suction power.
How the FUCK do I keep my wet palette from molding?Once I finish painting I clean the membrane, remove excess water, and store it without it being fully closed I washed the sponge several times with soap and bleach but it keeps coming back im losing my fucking mindAs you can see the sponge was on the dry side as the paper was wrinkling already.
>>98114560>store it without it being fully closedWho told you to do this? It should stay closed when stored unless it is bone dry.
>>98114566I assumed it being fully closed would make mold proliferate more.
>>98114581It only proliferates if it's already in there. If you want to store it for a long time, squeeze as much water/moisture out as possible, dry the sponge, and obviously toss the paper.Also you should use vinegar instead of bleach to clean it (don't use both at the same time, please). IIRC bleach can't kill the roots of the mould, which is probably why you're getting flareups. You can use a 50/50 mix of boiling water and vinegar.
>>98114560put some copper or silver shavings in a corner of the sponge
>>98114560it doesn't matter if you close it fully or not, it will get moldy from the water or paint if it wants to, keep it fully open, under sunlight if possible, use distilled water and add a bit of bleach every now and then
>>98114560long term storage, clean everything, ditch the used paper and keep the sponge separately (I usually keep it on dryer). For short term storage (days), just close everything tightly (paints, paper, everything) and put it into a fridge.
>>98114603>>98114560Seconding the fridge, it will greatly slow down any mould that happens to be in there.
>>98114602>add a bit of bleachvinegar works better for mould, and bleach is more likely to damage the sponge
>>98114608not in this case, for a sponge it works better than vinegar, because you are soaking it and there's no place it won't touchyes it will damage it overtime, but a couple drops every other week on a sponge that is not moved, bent or rubbed will take a long to damage it noticeably, and wet pallet sponges are consumables anyways just change it once a year or something
are you supposed to use a magnifiying glass for this hobby
>>98114761You can if you want to, you can get desk mounted or head mounted ones, and they often come with lights built in.I usually don't bother, though. They're only really needed if you have poor eyesight.
>>98114560stop using a wet palette, too much hassle.
>>98114767Here's your pity (You), now fuck off
>>98114767Faggot.
>>98114581>>98114603>>98114623>>98114767Isopropyl alcohol. That’s what you clean a sponge with.

im so bad at this, nothing i paint looks goodi give up
>>98114888post your work, I'm sure it's not that bad
>>98114880lmao im the dude with the moldy palette, and its in fact a RGG palettemould resistant my balls
>>98114898Mould resistand doesn't mean it's mould immune, retard.
>>98114898In that screenshot, the next sentence literally starts with "However, nothing is 100% mould proof".
i still cannot see the mold because this thing dries up every dayt. anon with the apparently moldy tupperware palette
>>98114897please dont laugh
>>98114971This is fine for a beginner, I've seen far worse than this. Don't be afraid to go back and forth over each area, you don't have to get each area exactly right the first time.I'd also use more washes to help define different details and panel lines. Two different materials next to one another always look weird if there's nothing defining the gap between them (washes solve this issue). For brush control, try bracing your wrists against something. This could be your the edge of the table, your chest, your stomach, or even each other. Finally, consider taking a look at all the videos in the OP, they're very helpful and have a lot of good tips:>>98104734
>>98115002can i wash them with khorne red or kantor blue
>>98115027Both of those are opaque paints, not washes. But you can make a wash out of opaque paints by diluting them. Keep in mind that washes are typically DARKER than the layer they are going over, to create the illusion of shadows. If you have some black paint, you can make a decent universal wash out of that.You can also just buy one of GWs prebottled wash paints (I think they're labelled "shade"?). Citadel's washes are actually pretty good. If you do go that route, pick up a bottle of nuln oil (liquid skill), or a bottle of drakenhoff nightshade and a bottle of reikland flesh.
>>98113217I primed, left outside and had a nap, accidentally slept too long and went outside and it had been raining. They seem fine, must have dried enough before the rain started.
>>98115027For wash you're better off using products formulated for that technique either washes or dilu ted contrast paints), as regular paints are more opaque and create a more unsightly finishIts alright anon, the first minis are always ugly as a sin, you have to let the bad ones out of your system before the good ones start coming in.And don't ever repaint your first mini, treasure it and you'll see how far you've come in a few months
>>98112671So basically pre-shading with skin color uniformly and dark (in recesses) with cloth color all above. Why I didn't notice this earlier?
>>98115027>>98114971>>98114888If you live near a Warhammer store, you can go in any day of the week and get a free model and a free painting tutorial. Trust me when I say they're very helpful. >>98115053>And don't ever repaint your first mini, treasure it and you'll see how far you've come in a few monthsSeconded, I still have the first model I ever painted. It's one of those monopose marines that was originally made for the 4th ed starter box, but was used as the free store mini for a number of years.
>>98115067there's no official warhammer stores here but i bought this starter set and some warriors of chaos at a local TCG shopi'll go there and ask for some dark and black paints cause i need that for my chaos warriors anywaysi dont look forward to assembling and painting the 20 skaven in this set, not gonna lie
>>98114775>>98114788Why would you even react this way?I used a wet palette for a few months, then decided it just wasn't worth it. I always use very minimal amount of paints at once, and always thin them in different ways and with different mediums depending on what I need.A wet palette just disrupts the balance and precision I need with the only upside of keeping paints moist for longer which I don't need.
>>98114971Painting within the lines would fix half the issues on that model, and a simple wash would fix the other half. Your paints don't even seem that thick which is usually one of the first issues. Cheer up anon, you'll be fine.
>>98115092>i'll go there and ask for some dark and black paintsBlack, white, grey, and brown are all essentials. Grab a shade/wash paint or two and you'll be totally set.>20 skaven in this setSkaven can be pretty fiddly to build and paint from what I've heard (though not necessarily un-fun), I'd save them for last desu.
>>98115107i dont know how to paint within the lines
>>98114971Looks pretty good as a starting point. It helps if you put the mini down and come back to it, maybe an hour later or maybe the next day, and look at it from all sorts of angles to see what spots you missed. With some touch ups, that shield will look nice. For washes, look for something that specifically says it's a wash on the bottle. Unlike normal paints, these are way thinner and usually take a bit longer to dry (meaning you can keep manipulating them with your brush).
>>98115113It's just practice and practice.
>>98115113>i dont know how to paint within the linesyou have 20 skaven waiting to teach you
>>98115113Then you'll be happy to know its not an inherent talent but a learned skill.As you already got told, those 20 skavens are there to help you practice.
Microset / Microsol has left gnarly white stains on my minis, anyone know how to fix it.
>>98115191why do you need some product to apply transfers instead of plain water

>>98115246but what does the product do that water doesnti have no idea please do sell it to me
>>98114880>if you want to reuse the paperI use isopropyl to clean the sponge, I have no idea why you would want to save the paper as I have 500 sheets of the paper that came with my sponge. I use isopropyl because it evaporates and doesn’t leave any residue in the sponge.
>>98115191Use less of it. Also are you using normal hobby acrylics or some paint with some obscure medium that might react to it?
>>98115254Microset softens the decal, which makes it a lot easier to apply on uneven surfaces. Microsol dissolves the decal film, which helps with the painted on look, and further helps with adhesion and shaping. They are both pretty good, though my prefered choice is VMS Decal Set and Soften. It's basically the same thing, but touch more powerful and in one bottle instead of two.
>>98114971Looks good anon, in a couple years you’ll marvel at how far you’ve come but I think you did a very good job
>>98115110Skaven aren’t ork tier easy because of their size but they don’t require a ton of precision either
>>98115289so basically it melts decals into shape right awaythat sounds pretty handy i use spray varnish for that same reason
>>98115368It's good to apply varnish before and afterward, but no, varnish doesn't work the same way. Unless there are varnishes that specifically help with adhesion, shaping, and dissolve the film.
>>98114971Huh. We're on page 9. Time to make a new collage for our next thread.In the meantime, though, I'm going to guess what you've got going on here. You're painting with a Citadel Starter Brush™, aren't you?I understand the cost-saving measure, but dammit GW, why do you insist on handing out this garbage to people you want to get *into* the hobby? After about 30 minutes of honest-to-goodness painting, a starter brush is not going to be good for much other than stirring paint or slathering washes on things. They're absolute junk, and probably discourage more people than they help.When you're just starting out, anon, getting some inexpensive synthetic watercolour or acrylic brushes from a store like Michaels or Hobby Lobby will be good enough for now, and miles ahead of Citadel Starter Brushes. Don't worry about ruining them. You will. That's why it's OK to spend a few bucks on each one and toss it out when it's wrecked beyond even using for drybrushing.
>>98115388>you have to paint for 40 years before youre good at itdamn
>>98115382> varnish doesn't work the same waywhat i mean is i give my decals a really light spray from a can so all the curves melt away to make them even
>>98115322They take a bit more effort to fully paint, what with all the little overlapping details, straps, etc. I'd rank them a little harder than chaos warriors and a good bit harder than stormcast.
>>98115396It takes 40 years if you start as a child and take a 35+ year break. It takes less than a year if you're an adult with half a brain and some free time.
>>98114971We all gotta start somewhere.
>>98115388>Starts getting into this miniature painting, Gunpla, and girlpla nonsense at 40It’s fucking over for me, isn’t it?
>>98115388>>98115443>>98115455i heard it takes 10 000 hours to actually get good at something
>>98115455There are people in their 50s and 60s who are in this hobby too, and they wish they could've started in their 40s.
>>98115455I started playing with painting at around 31, accepted that I won't become some master anyway and simply try to enjoy the process. You should too.
>>98115478That old legend states that it takes 10 000 hours to become a master.I don't believe it to be true, personally. Baseless repetition is like repeatedly running a knife along a honing rod, and expecting it to become sharp.
>>98115499>10,000 hours is approximately 1.14 years>I don't believe it to be true, personallythat does seem very little time when you think it in years like that
>>98115499i think it's it's implied that it's 10k hours of deliberate practice, not absent-minded repetition
>>98115536but since you have to be alive and shit like that let's pretend you practive 8h a day, it suddenly it's 3 yeas and a half
>>98115565If the thing you're practicing is not your full time job and you can only practice 4h a day it turns into 7 years which is suddenly a fuckload of time
>>98115052You were only supposed to drink six drops, anon.

>>98115113Brush control comes from just painting. Michelangelo didn't paint a Mozart in a day, it took a long time to learn.
