I miss that brief period when they used to ape historical model kit box design, it added to the feel of the game being just another historical re-enactment wargame but for a fictional war that hasn't happened yet.

I read a post in this general once that posited that all the 3rd ed era codexes art being in scratchy black and white and most of the fluff being written as in-universe documents made it feel like you were someone from year 50k discovering archaeological remains of a dead civilization from ten thousand years ago and I've never gotten that out of my head, it was so fitting.

Well enough, you've kept everything pretty well inside the lines. Nothing fancy but it's good for a beginner. Maybe think about highlighting for a next step in learning techniques, then glazing after that.
>>
>>98184516
I think the shading on the clothing needs to be a bit darker, and highlights still need
to need to be done, but as a simple basecoat it looks great.
>>
>>98184559
Yeah I still need to learn to do that... I tried to mix up some on the shoulderpads and helmet, but it doesn't really show up here.
>>98184564
My current shades are Seraphim Sepia for the BDU and bags, Nuln oil for the lasgun and boots, earthshade for the armor. Then flesh shader on the skin
I think I could go over some of the BDU pockets with a light tan just to highlight some stuff though and maybe give it some depth, I'll try that.

It's good, learning to keep from spilling over onto neighbouring bits is an important early step so well done.
Highlighting can be tricky at first, if it looks too thick/blobby you can go back with the flat colour and cover where the highlight strayed too far from the edge, sort of being it back that way.

Oh, and for photos I'd move the camera back a little and use the zoom, rather than having the camera physically up quite so close. That helps keep the whole model in focus.

not him but on the topic of photos. I post models frequently, but I’ve noticed every time I post them, it always ends up looking really dark and some details are too dark to see. I’ve set up a shitty little lightbox and two massive white bulbs to shine in, but it always seems to have the same issue. is there something I’m doing wrong?

two tips of advice i can give you.

Wit highlights. less is more, you don't need much to get a good result. and you don't have to highlight every edge, you can focus mainly on the top edges.

second ,This may not be a case with you, but for me two other things that I found helpful equipment wise are.
1. Brushes, i found that getting a brush that was a size or two bigger than I thought i needed was actually better for me, (a bigger brush can hold more paint and medium and it dries out slower, What's more important for fine detail is not brush size, but rather the ability of a brush to form and keep a tip.

and
2. A wet pallet, if nothing else than it was a way to keep my paint from drying out too fast. They're not hard to make, my first wet pallet was a plastic lunch tuperware like container with a paper towel folded on the bottom and a square of parchment paper cut to fit the container perfectly, and then just enough water until the paper towel was soaked and some water could bead through the parchment.

That said I did invest in an actual wet pallet eventually, but the dyi one was quick easy and something that you could easily make with a trip to a regular grocer and for less than 10 bucks you have enough parchment paper and paper towel to last your wet pallet for life.

If you're doing a whole light box you've put more effort in than me lmao.

I have a kind of long-bar lamp on a bendy neck for painting, and I bend that over for photos so there's light coming in from the top and bottom. Pic shows it.
Plus I turn on every light I can find in the room for as much ambient as possible. Then I use as much mechanical zoom as I can, but no digital zoom.

>>98184583
A quick and easy highlight method for beginners, is after doing shading, just use a 50/50 mix of your base color and white. it gives you a highlight color, and its an easy ratio to remember, and for highlights you really don't need more than a dab of both colors, and its better especially when starting out than committing to a ton of paints that you might not actually use a lot of.
>>
>>98184696
retarded since you can run farsight armies. And fusion blades is perfectly on brand for farsight. if you wanted to make a Dogmatic vs Idealist divide in tau detachments then you could have easily used their keyword system to do it.

Though knowing how GW operates I wouldn't be surprised if the melta spacemarine unit gets melta blades as an enhancement since the usual pattern of xenos getting cool rules, is the next edition strips those rules from the xenos faction and gives them to marines.

well, I tried fixing it in the settings, and it seems he’s only a little bit less dark, so I’ll have to come back to it. though I did decide to take him outside the lightbox, and he actually looks pretty nice, so I think until I figure out how to do it in the lightbox, I’ll just stick to posting minis next to a wall.

If you have a piece of paper and a lamp you have a lightbox. This is how I (>>98184636) take my photos and they usually turn out OK
>>
>>98184749
Maybe try bringing one of the lamps down to shine in from the side? There's a lot of light from the top, but everything not directly hit by that top-down beam is going to look a lot darker by comparison. Then your camera presumably tries to even it out and darkens the whole lot to make up for the stark white bits.
Might not work but it's a thought.

They violate plenty of Marx's tenets, enough to get called "not real communism" by the actual enthusiastic commies.

Thanks dude, leather is a fun material because you can be extremely dirty with your highlights and washes and it'll still look pretty authentic. Very simple yet fun material to paint.

Irys also played SM2 with Biboo and Callie but I doubt she'd get into the minis. Biboo and Callie are both so Blood Angels coded it's ridiculous.

Of the others:

Gigi - Orks and would have the only tourneyfag list.
Ceci - Tau or AdMech. Whichever gives her more opportunities to complain about the codex.
Kronii - Craftworld Eldar or Harlequins.
Kiara - Sisters of Battle
ERB - Ultramarines
Nerissa - Would borrow her dad's 4th edition Catachan army.
FWMC - World Eaters

If you're good at kitbashing or sculpting it would be surprising if your favorite model was a standard one in 2026. You can make it to your own taste, which is probably better than the taste of some of the sculptors.

many of the earlier holoEN girls are boring and not very entertaining because Omega, a manager (or managers) in charge of hiring was trying to draw from a 'pool of diverse talents' which included many girls who either didn't like streaming at all or who got into it purely because they heard pewdiepie made a lot of money, but were not good entertainers themselves (early adopters of vtuber tech). Ironically, most of these boring wallflowers ended up graduating too. later generations included native streamers and entertainers and tend to have more personality, but the organization itself seems to drag its feet on recruiting new talents.

Why do we never see Eldar losing control of their psychic powers the way humans do? I know that Eldar are inherently more psychic, but surely it still happens sometimes.

They do. Look up Corsair psyker rules from FW. They don't bother with the protections that the Craftworlders use

They are trained from birth to control it and their minds simply don't function the same way as humans. Seers also use things like runes and ghost helms to protect them from raw-dogging contact with the warp the way human psykers do.

I don't know smelldar lore well enough to know if this has been directly addressed in 40K, but I believe it's a carry over from Fantasy. WHF elfs have been doing magic for so long and become such masters at it they can subscribe to and use multiple winds of magic while humans can only ever do one, they have also honed the art to a degree that a typical elven magic user will not suffer any perils. I have to assume it's much the same situation in 40K, eldar are all attuned to the warp and been practising psychic powers for so long, they're essentially casting on "fettered" mode all the time.

Picked the Armageddon box mostly because of orks but I guess I now also serve BigE and have a little primaris force on the side. Don't plan to get much more, at least not until I'll decide on which chapter to paint them, but I have a question for space marines players: from the starter point that the Armageddon box is, which other models would be good addictions to a small (~1500 points) primaris force?

Swap Thousand Sons and Tau. Scarab Termies are pretty fun to scrap with.
