Does anyone know a good resource for very simple, cardboard terrains?

I need to prepare terrain for a 40k game with a friend, our first game, and I figured there might be some stuff available for free online, like walls/obstacles whose shape you can print on paper then cut off cardboard or something like that.

I think I'm done with the body of the troll. Mostly just have the bells and charms and the little spirits. Not quite sure what to go for? Gold or silver NMM probably?

Don't mind the gap between the ear and hair. Used sticky tac to hold the face on so it's not quite flush.

Also somebody previously asked how I did the skin, just a lot of stippling, almost feels like cheating as a technique

>>96346358
i would go for worn out brass/bronze for the bells and jade for the pearl wristband

Moved onto starting survivors yesterday. Here's the first one.

>>96346446
Extremely blurry anon, take the photo from further away, steady it between two arms with your elbows braced on a surface and make sure to tap the focus point on your screen if using an android phone. Also the raised hand looks like it's covered in hair?

>>96346465
Also, use a timer to take the picture.

>>96346623
I always have trouble with pics.
Here's from further away, hope it looks better. (Also, the hair was cotton tip residue from cleaning oil wash).

Who was painting Cities of sigmar last week?

I think I cannot improve her further. Nor can apparently make proper photo with phone, holy shit, force it to catch focus is one thing and the other not having white balance go nuts depending on where it focused at the moment (like removing all orange shades because reasons). Whoever claims that phones are better than actual camera have no idea what he talks about.

Other angle

And close up at face.

>>96346446
>>96346465
Reminds me of this one.

>>96346828
Way better shot anon, gj. Also helps you picked a foreground and background of a lighter tone, the first shot had three strong contrasts in the background that make it harder to see colours.

He looks solid but the eyes look a bit off, like the pupils are both looking in different places. Right eye is looking down and to his left while the left eye is looking up to the sky.

>>96347311
There is a goldilocks zone on how close you want the phone to the miniature. You have to account for the fact that what you see on the phone and what we see on the computer are wildly different zoom levels. The easy rule is that a miniature should be taking up about a third of the total real estate of the photo taken, that allows you to contextualise the colours you see versus the background colour balance as well as zoom levels.

Any good and cheap hobby kits you guys would recommend for someone just getting into minis?

>>96347680
Northstar, Warlord Games, Perry Miniaturs, Victrix, Wargames Atlantic, Mantic.. they all have stuff that is cheap, if you compare it to GW prices.
My "hidden gem" would be the Deuslair Core Set by Archon Game. It consists of 99 completely random fantasy characters and monsters, giving you a vast variety to paint completely different things.

>>96347729
Hard to find that one from the pic, at least in Europe. But I second Victrix, reasonably priced, nicely detailed and huge in size sets of medieval or classic period minis.

>>96347759
>Hard to find that one from the pic, at least in Europe

How so? Archon are from Poland, and they have an online shop, and pretty much every german online store (including Amazon) stocks their stuff.
Kutami sells it for 77€, others for 79€.

I know i mentioned Victrix and the other historical mini-companies, and if looking at the price, they are certainly good purchases, but for a total beginner who is "getting into minis" (i assume, without having any game in mind), it might get boring rather fast to paint 60 romans or 60 vikings, thats why i think a set with variety is a better choice to start out if he really has no clue about what he wants to paint, or what game(s) he wants to eventually play with his minis.

>>96347179
It looks like an improvement over the Jaina figure, and I still want to know what the source on it is so I can get one.
Overall you should practice or work on pushing the volumetric highlights/shading contrast. I know that's kind of generic advice, but it applies to most of the model. It's harder to get away with these kinds of things on larger models. It probably doesn't seem like it in the moment because, like, jeeze, making the skin almost like a 50% redish brown seems WAY too dark when you also have shadows from real life, but you gotta trust the process with it.
iirc you're starting from your midtone and your highlighting up (the skin almost to white) but you're not really shading down much or at least not enough, and letting oil wash pooling do it, and in some places couldn't reach it to shade down. My preferred style of painting is to pretty much paint in your darkest color all over and layer up in smaller places until you hit your highlights - if you couldn't reach it to brush, then chances are the light couldn't either so your messy brush-ruining dark base coat is fine in those spots.You don't HAVE to paint like that by any means, but I think you're still just too close to the midtone on all 3 main surfaces (well, the skin I think the highlights are about the right value, but needs some darker shading).
Just some things to keep in mind on future models, not saying you need to go in and make chances to this one necessarily unless you feel like it. Could always come back to it later too since it's in like a good checkpoint state.

>>96347680
I would not recommend somebody get into minis.

>>96347729
Oh, sorry, I meant kits like cutting them out of the plastic, getting rid of mold lines, etc

The Rusty Nurgling is this weekend. Man, I thought I had more time! Well, I wasn't planning on winning anything anyway, but it might be fun to go up there and enter a couple of models in different categories...

It's not actually at The Citadel this year, but rather down the street... I think that's some kind of convention center for Grapevine. So, no promise that the participants will bathe and/or use deodorant, but at least we can be assured the air conditioning will be working!

>>96347942
Any scalpel or hobby knife will do.

>>96347954
>So, no promise that the participants will bathe and/or use deodorant, but at least we can be assured the air conditioning will be working

It's a nurgle themed event. What do you expect?

>>96345115
>what's the motivation here? making truescale marines from pre-primaris models? matching primaris size?
Converting cool dudes is my favorite part of this hobby. But I wont deny that I do care a lot about keeping scale on track as I want my models to fit together, but my space marines are mostly about making my own bespoke cool dudes. Albeit certainly with a lot of older more classically marine parts cause thats what I grew up looking at. In this case it was about trying to make something cool out of things I already had but hadn't come up with a use yet (30k justaerin parts), but primaris bodies do make the foundation for a lot of the others. I don't really build from kits, I normally start by clipping out all the parts into organized bits boxes that I pull from, one with bodies, armour marks identifiers, weapons, etc.

>>96347806
Odd, I checked Polish shops and only two had them in offer and both out of stock.

>>96347825
If there is a progress, that's good news. I do feel that I did skin better this time but there still much to be done. You mentioned that it look midtone all over and that's one of dilemma I face - either to try and make contrasting skin or quite opposite, given that female skin in general is less contrasting and more smooth (especially anime themed stuff and kitsune, as proper Japanese lady, would rather try to get her skin as white as possible). I will try to get some model with more skin visible next time for better training.

I posted source in previous thread, sorry if I missed you - I got 3D prints from emp3d.eu, Polish online shop but with option to send outside. This particular was https://emp3d.eu/pl/p/Amaterasu-rozne-skale/5491 (apparently have "nsfw" version too but it simply have visible nipples as the only difference).

today's work

i ran out of bases so tomorrow is base day

>>96348186
10/10 would pet

Progress on my Kraka Drak Dwarfs. Need a few more layers of the light blue. Still got highlights to do (and the base) but I'm nearly there. I need a quick way of getting them painted because I've still got 25+ still to do...

>>96346358
Looks great so far, the skin has such nice colors.
>>96347179
>>96347187
>>96347193
I like the robe and tail but her face and hair could use a little bit more work.
>>96348186
Very cute pupper, nicely painted too!
>>96348556
I really like the color scheme you're doing

>>96346066 (OP)
Fired these out this afternoon, going to start on my second cruiser and battlebarge soon

Did a unit leader for witch elves that's also a hero in 5 leagues game, and the dude she saved and is now her #1 fan.
I like to imagine that, with an apron of her family color and crudely drawn house symbol he's like one of those super fans of an idol. Officially he's just the hired camp cook, which is why his wife tolerates his shenanigans as it does make money and his last employer was killed by barbarians.

Started painting a Lord of Change, worked on his staff today

>>96348811
Oh lawd, he changin'!

>>96348811
I will never understand people who paint one part to completion before finishing blocking in the color and risking ruining the part they worked so hard on.

Looks great though.

>>96348851
NTA, but imo easier to keep all your active paints and mixes on the palette. And that's easier to do when just doing one part to full completion than hopping around all over the place.

>>96348851
That arm is not glued yet though, I just attached it with blutac for the picture. So it won't really get in the way of painting the actual bird. Oh and thank you!

>>96348556
Love these classic dwarfs.

By the time I got around to putting my old BOSP box on round bases to play AoS they released TOW and now idk what to do

>>96348851
Realising that "blocking in colours" isn't a mandatory step was a lightbulb moment for me and has saved so much time.

>>96348851
I generally paint things of the same color first. Id hate mixing a color, then finding it's slightly off the second time around.

Result of a messy judiciar speedrun (~2 days, for me it's lighting fast)

gn lads

>>96349485
Babe, wake up. A new Black Templar anon post just dropped.

Looking for feedback. I was planning on bringing the thigh plates up higher to match the original design more but after mocking it up I cant decide if if the armour thigh plate extensions improve the silhouette or make it looks too bulky. Same thing with the trim repair on the chest plate, I might sand down the sides a bit to bring back the more slender form.

I had started a lil freehand on a poorly assembled mini and it is coming out quite well. I can't decide if I want to strip the whole thing again and try again, or just fill the gaps and do a bit of additional sanding and try using my brush primer. Which seems less retarded?

>>96349961
You weren't planning on using it for anything, by the sounds of it. Dont bust your ass too hard trying to make it perfect. Continue to use it as a practice peice and fill in the gaps.

>>96349974
I will be using it for a painting comp. It had been sitting on my shelf started for a few months and it so happens to fit the theme very well.

>>96349961
Never, ever, ever, go backwards on a piece like that, unless you're super early on. Remember what you learned and move forward, do better on the next one.
You can't let yourself get bogged down trying to make everything perfect on every model , it's a surefire way to slow your overall progression and growth.

I know Army Painter brushes are bottom tier, but what kind of longevity can one expect from them? I just started painting and I can't tell if I'm abusing them like a mong or if they always explode after like 4 models.
Also, requesting recs for something better that I won't feel like shit about ruining

>>96350105
Oh >>96350105
Well nevermind then, in those cases yes you can go back and put your all into it.
Just don't treat every piece like that, there's practice and there's performing, and they aren't the same thing.

>>96349826
i dont think the thigh armor makes a huge difference visually but the chest trim definitely looks more complete

I'm not a big contrast paint guy, but diluted Ratling Grime really is pretty much perfect for a grimey oily wash.

>>96349004
How can it possibly lose time?

>>96348884
Ok that makes more sense now.

>>96346066 (OP)
I'm terrible at doing eyes on my dudes. Should I get a pen to do pupils with more control? What kind of pens work best for this?

>>96350647
show brush

>>96350688
This is a blue board.

>>96350688
Don't have it with me at the moment. It's nothing special, just some synthetic shit from Amazon. Pretty sure it's mostly just some slight shake in my hand, and I feel like a pen might be a little easier

>>96350736
ehyyyyyyyy

>>96350756
Here's the deal, anon. Listen up, and lock in.
>elbows?
Braced. Both resting on your table with a little weight on them to keep them secure.
>Non-dominant hand?
Make your hand into a little duck mouth. Now, put the model between the meat of the thumb, and pointer+middle fingers. NOT the actual fingers and thumb, you need those for later. Right in the meaty parts of the hand.
>Dominant hand?
Hold your brush with your thumb, pointer and middle fingers. Now, SMASH it down into the exposed palm of your non-dominant hand (don't smash your model, and this should be the palm pad kind of opposite your thumb on that hand). Now brace your paintbrush hand with your fingertips and thumb from the non-dominant hand.
You will have MAXIMUM control even if you have some degree of mild tremors.

Do you remember science glass in high school, looking at plant cells or whatever under the microscope? Maybe you don't remember, but you can actually move those slides around on the order of the size of those cells, 10's of microns. If you can properly stabilize you have more fine control than you can perceive without magnification.

Progress (little) on my wip terrain. Got the plastic parts primed and the foam bits painted black and ready for dry brushing.

>>96350647
>I'm terrible at doing eyes on my dudes. Should I get a pen to do pupils with more control? What kind of pens work best for this?

This or get a kolinsky brush, or if you want just small eye dots then get a gunpla panel line marker

Why can't I ever find construction sites full of garbage scrap XPS foam back at home. I had to go to Vienna to finally see this for once. I wonder how many I could fit in my checked luggage

>>96348675
Thanks. I always think i don't enjoy painting because I'm bad at it, but I realised that just getting something finished properly (base, wash, highlight) is great for the self esteem.
Going to attempt freehand on the banner. God help us.
>>96348986
Yeah I like how simple they are. No random doodads and accessories. They have plenty of medallions, but since you're already using metallics it's not a problem.

>>96351193
That stuff costs like 20€ in your local hardware store. Wtf, why would you even bother to try to get it from a construction site?

>>96351287
Because it's free as long as they don't have any kind of real security. You can do the same with food from dumpsters in most major grocery stores, although Walmart tends to have the best loot.

>>96351294
Yes, and fight with some literal hobos for the food at the dumpster sites behind the supermarkets.
Anon, if you are at that level, you should probably invest your money into education, not wargaming models.

>>96348811
He's going to look so awesome

>>96351294
kek

Got one of the new pots of VMC Matt Black, the bubbling is ridiculous. Even on the palette you can't pop them with your brush, bubble just chases around the paint puddle.

How the fuck did they drop the ball on this so hard, like how did it slide through QA. Especially now with as much competition as they have, their 20 year old formula was somehow better. They lowkey deserve to have their entire market share eaten by AK

>>96351193
Incredibly cheap, off cuts aren't likely to be useful, scrap is worth nothing. Probably just gets throw in general trash. By the way, how much is a flight from Vienna to Tel Aviv you cheap bastard?

It's just jokes people. I'm not actually taking any XPS foam. Calm down.

>>96350536
>How can it possibly lose time?
I start painting my highlights and shades and then blend to a midtone. There's no benefit to laying out colours as my first step, especially across a whole model. Even parts of the same colour are going to have different mids depending on how exposed to light they are. A lot of the time it just provides an illusion of progress.

>>96351995
Don't back down. Become ungovernable. Take all of it.

>>96351287
>>96351868
>Reusing waste is bad now

>>96352082
It's not. Stealing it from construction sites is.

>>96352415

I wish I was good enough at modeling to actually make it like that, it's funnier than the original pointing hand.

>>96349632
Kek, comes to think of it I've posted two finished (although a bit scuffed) minis in two consecutive threads, this is an absolute record for me

>>96350109
I think the white AP brushes are pretty good, I've been using the insane detail one for almost 2 years and it's still my top choice when working on the tiniest stuff. Worth mentioning that I've been using it extensively with metallic paints as well.

>>96346358
troll continuation

>>96346438
current progress so far, only did a few bells on the back just to figure out how to actually do the colors

Despite my progress, I suffered a setback last night when I dropped the Callidus and her braid broke off! Man, you'd think Citadel could've come up with a better way to join those pieces. I pinned it with steel this time. Will probably let the epoxy dry for another 24 hours before I come back to touch up the paint on the top of her head.

In the meantime, I have Centos over there on the left and a Blood-Angelized Blood Claw (not pictured) I could work on.

Planning to enter Lemartes and the Death Company in >>96347954, and maybe Lieutenant Gormano as well if I can finish his power sword in time.

>>96350109
I think AP brushes last rather long actually, greenstuffworld brushes are even more impressive.

>>96353095
I keep meaning to get that assassin for gooning purposes.

>>96352925
that's pretty nice

What do you guys think about using this kind of ball vise?

>>96353817
Absolute waste of money.

Gonna work up this barricade over the next little while. Might make some more modular additions to it so it could be part of a larger contiguous barricade or used alone as a redoubt kind of thing.

>>96353095
What color did you use to highlight the braid? Looks really good for that ginger styled hair. I'm doing this halfling commander type guy up as a gingerling so I'd appreciate the lead.

I don't know what color sceheme to go with for Scarab Swords
Plain black would be easy but boring
Egyptian copper with verdigris would be good
Some kinda lava power would be ideal but seems difficult with the blade design

>>96352591
Iirc, their eyes are meant to be weird. I think the survivors are meant to wake up with ink in their eyes... leading to a rather Gothy mascara appearance.

>>96354009
It's Evil Sunz Scarlet.

I started with Ace Hardware Gray (sic) Spray Primer as my undercoat. The main red colour is Blood Angels Red Contrast Paint. I washed it with Darkoath Flesh, and then highlighted with Evil Sunz Scarlet. On top of such a dark reddish brown, the Evil Sunz isn't as bright as I look for when doing red Blood Angels armour.

>>96353817
With all the really fragile resin figures around, this gives me anxiety. Ill stick to pinning/bluetac

>>96352017
I feel like I can be faster (sloppier) putting down my base coat when I don’t have to be careful not to spill.

>>96354068
Do a two tone, make the blade portion a semi-gloss obsidian black and use the verdegris/metal for the back portion.

>>96353817
I could see it being very useful for some people with disabilities.

My first sisters squad is almost painted. My other bases for this theme are way flatter but this robotic armed one is one of my named sisters, it was a lot of fun to make.

>>96353817
>Dspiae
I could see it maybe being more useful for gunpla scribing than for what we typically do. I don't really see myself wanting one though regardless of how expensive they are.

Posted in the other thread, too: Does this look like he's jumping over the wall? I'm trying to figure out my Swarmlord's base before I commit to him.

>>96355322
Forgot pic, and then I was cucked by the duplicate image timer.

>>96355360
This reads as jumping to me, a lot more so than a majority of GW jumping and flying models. I want to see this painted!

>>96348556
Good progress so far!
I have another gyrocopter lined up for the future.

>>96348986
If you don't want to rebase, there probably are movement trays with round base slots.
I never rebased mine from the 20mm squared, so I can go back to 6th/7th ed.

>>96355231
That's a very pale sister but I like the look a lot, you have done really well with them
If i could suggest something, I think that painting these in a silver would create some very nice visual interest that would break up those parts.

>>96355567
Thank you! her skin is less pale in person but my phone just sucks ahahah I will definitely try silvering those! the fleur de lis is a much brighter gold but when I was doing a wash it was brought down way too much but I like how silver sounds a lot more

>>96349485
Very impressive for 2 days worth of work. I guess you got pretty comfortable with the way you paint these guys!
>>96350925
That's nice. I like the bricks, you made these yourself?
>>96352593
I'm not too big on Nurgle minis but I like the way you painted his skin.

Always nice to see more terrain posts here.
>>96355231
Your color scheme is very nice. My only issue is her face and hair are a bit too close in color but it might be because of the picture.

I actually wanted to make him grimdark and shit with oils but I don't have the skillset yet, so I settled for "healthy but not too much"

>>96355567
>>96355758
Her skin is much more pink and red in person, I do think that's honestly just my phone, it has some issues with purple too. I'll clean her up a lot more, I'm still trying to figure everything out

>>96356067
It definitely looks better here. Keep us updated, anon.
>>96356059
Clean paintjobs have a lot of appeal as well so that works too.

Am I strange for saving the pewter scraps for the purpose of maybe melting them down in the future?

where are all the good paint sets

>>96357166
At my house. I bought them all so you can't have them.

refining my speedpainting techniques so i can slop out a bunch of these quickly

I need to figure out how to start doing these faster or I'm not going to finish this army.

Here's a color test I just did for my immortals.

>Tell myself I will only put time and effort into the squad leaders and big models
>once again cant bring myself to just slap chop the rest of the unit and the rest of the models take a month to paint
Honestly fuck chaos trim, but switching from hobby to recently playing the game is going to take a while.

Standard bearer zombie coming along. The first of many.

I just got my first combat patrol and am deciding what colors to paint them. I know I'm a noob in terms of technique, but I would like to hear opinions on the color choices before I decide how to paint the rest.

Progress update: I got him primed and now Im working on the basecoats

>>96357743
You're not allowed to finish projects in this general, slow down and start something else in addition to this.

Started this project tonight. Primed with pro acryl dark neutral grey. I had an issue with this in the past, but it occurred to me that it was probably going over this with tamiya white with thinner that ate into it.
The sprue gates on this were fucking huge imo but everything looks nice and sharp.

Update. Almost finished.

>>96357859
needs some matte varnish to tone that wash down.

>>96357816
What are these ships from? I've been printing off a bunch of EVE Online ships, would be nice to break it up with some more variety.

>>96357859
How'd you achieve the skull on the flag? Sort of looks like it's been stippled on?

>>96357881
Drop Fleet Commander

>>96357862
I'll varnish him when I finish the base.
>>96357881
Yes, it's stippled on in a purposefully shoddy way, as if it was painted with a brush meant for whitewashing walls.

>>96357751
You're right, my bad. Here's a Lancer I started and still looks like this over a month later.

Man I hate sub assembly

>>96357164
No. Also, lacking something better, if you're using paints that come out of a pot like Citadel, they make great glacketts, as the metal will not react with the paint.

>>96346066 (OP)
Just starting out and a couple of things: I find I'm more comfortable using a size 0 brush for pretty much everything, is this a bad habit I should break now or is it fine? And how do I get orange to pop? I have some orange from reaper that looks great in the pot but it came out real spotty and looking like the crayola macaroni crayon.

>>96358219
A good size 2 will have enough of a point for most detail work, while having enough room in the belly to stay damp with water and not get paint in the ferrule. I particularly like the vallejo promodeler natural hair size 2 for this, I've never had a brush with such a nice point before

>>96357702
Two in the middle look coolest to me, especially the one with the red glow.

What ink should i buy, Vallejo or Liquitex or Winsor Newton and what colors?

>>96358313
liquitex.
What colors do you need right now? Don't buy stuff just for the sake of buying it.

>>96358321
>What colors do you need right now?
I don't know, what colors should i buy?

>>96358334
What are you trying to paint and why do you want the ink vs. the paints you already have?

>>96358313
W&N inks are fun to mess around with for final glazes but they are shellac based, so not waterproof.
W&N orange ink in particular is a classic John Blanche thing, he used it on everything.
Daler Rowney sells a CMYK+White set that covers most uses if you are willing to mix colors yourself. Liquitex probably does too.
Refer to >>96356012
for a classic take on ink usage that was basically replaced by modern washes.
Not worth buying acrylic inks outside of white unless you are also going to make your own washes imho.

>>96358472
Thank you but what do you use white ink for? Making some kind of white wash? Is it better with white oil paint?

>>96358313
Just make sure they're pigment inks. Dye based inks aren't lightfast and will fade with time.

>>96355478
Thank you! I think my eyes are disabled, because unless I've applied a heavy wash to metallics I can't see the highlights at all. Fuck metallics.

>>96357702
no! the two on each ends are best. the other anon is a deciver

Done.

>>96358862
Cool flag

>>96358619
I don't know, I don't use oil paints. Not a fan of mineral spirits/thinners and the more serious brush cleaning afterward.
But I use white acrylic ink the same way you would use white paint. To make tints with regular paints. White washes are fun too.

>>96358619
White ink can be used for zenithal highlighting through an airbrush.

>>96349485
damn where is that head from? new EC models?

>>96359006
>White ink can be used for zenithal highlighting through an airbrush.
Why not just use white paint?

>>96359417
NTA but white and off white acrylics tend to get chalky when sprayed through an airbrush, I'd assume that's not the case with inks. I'm not sure about that though.

Thoughts on the wings? Going jade/mint like the box art would've been the safer choice but I kinda like this purple. Also man drybrushing feels like cheating on textured parts like these feathers.

>>96357702
Two on the left for me

>>96359524
Lovely.

>>96359417
inks will always flow better in an airbrush, and afaik they atomize better so you get smoother gradients

>>96359038
It's from pic related (kromlech), plus some cutting and sanding.
I think I'm still going to paint the judiciar's original head then choose which one to use, I feel the og one is quite unique despite being a bit corny

I just got some warham models for the first time. Do I really need sandpaper? Or can I just use the back of the hobby knife to remove mould lines? Or does sandpaper help with painting?
Sorry for being a retard

>>96360114
Do not use sandpaper for cleaning them up, plastic scratches really easily and it's very noticeable unless you are using very fine grits.
Back of a hobby knife works perfectly well for 99% of what you need to do.

>>96360114
I use 2000 grit to smooth out surfaces but it's not essential and you'll end up using a knife to reach a lot of areas regardless.

>>96360152
>>96360185
Thanks, kings. I figured the back of the hobby knife would be sufficient (and with less room for fuck up by someone inexperienced). I'll look into really fine grit if for some reason I'm struggling with mould lines

>>96360280
>I'll look into really fine grit if for some reason I'm struggling with mould lines
Wrong, rough grit.
Fine grit is for once the mould line is removed, to clean up the now rough surface.
Removal of material is a job for rough grit, trying to do it with fine grit will just turn the line into a bump.

Finished blocking out the purples before I had to leave but Im happy with the progress

>>96360280
get some small files

>>96357331
They look solid for being speedpainted, the blood is a nice touch
>>96357409
I'm assuming you're spraying these with leadbelcher or some other metallic spray, right? If not definitely get that. You'll only have to wash, pick out the details afterwards and maybe do a bit of drybrushing to brighten the metal back up.
>>96357702
My vote goes to the second guy from the left.
>>96358012
Reads pretty nicely as glow which I assume you're going for. Maybe darken down the parts where there are no runes for a bit more contrast?
>>96358862
That freehanded skull is very cool

I feel like I spend way too much time building models, fussing with gap filling, drilling, whether I'm subassembly-ing or painting on/off a base, and mold line cleanup. but I can't tell if I'm just imagining it because I would prefer to paint things.

Barricade scatter arrangement has been basecoated + base covered with texture paste which I just painted and am waiting on to dry. Will then go in for the shading weathering highlighting etc.

>>96360977
Other side of it. I painted up the gate piece with the lock in a red to give off the impression some well adorned or otherwise distinguished place having been captured and looted or destroyed and it's bones put to use against those who built it. Like a palace or garrison or other place of importance.

Which fits in well with the setting I'm crafting, wherein a key event is a rebellion amongst the peasants within a kingdom of humans is taking place, spurred on and furnished by dastardly and cunning halflings who seek to overthrow and liquidate the old royals and place themselves into their position.

Making progress in this dreadnought, my biggest mini so far.
Thoughts on the freehands?
Whay else should I paint on the big plates?

>>96360977
>>96361018
These are just mantic terrain crate, it anyone is wondering. PVC terrain, I've mentioned my thoughts on it before. Not great but does the job, get it if you think you could use it if you can find it cheap secondhand but personally I wouldn't pay retail for this stuff again. I was under the impression I was buying hard plastic because they just market it as plastic. No primer or assembly necessary. The only prep involves bending pieces back into proper shape with a hairdryer or hot water which is pretty standard for PVC or resin kits. I find mould line removal just beats the shit out of my blades too fast and it doesn't look good. Maybe a file or something would work better. I just leave the mould lines on because I'm a careless sinner like that when it comes to PVC.

Pic unrelated just another Renaissance knight I did up a while ago using that chrome marker/black ink pinwash method I have posted about before.

>>96361044
That is really good if it's freehand very sharp clean lines. As a wise individual once said:
>Impressive, very nice.

>>96360402
do not get low grit sandpaper anywhere near your models unless you want to lose details. if a mould line is chunky use a scalpel for the bulk and then polish with fine grit

>>96361044
Freehand looks excellent anon. The one thing I'm not a big fan of is the yellow OSL, it looks a bit overdone. If you want to make the bare plates more interesting consider doing a pinwash with oils around the rivets and the concave angles.

Added a green wash to church. Next step is I'll add moss, grass and creeper vines before moving onto the grounds and Graves.

>>96361245
Other side

>>96359777
Just painted the og judiciar head. Not sure which one looks better, probably gonna keep pic rel for now.

>>96361948
I like the other one more desu

>>96361245
>>96361253
Nice work so far anon

>>96361044
That freehand looks great. I think some sort of oath/scribbling would work, at least that's what I did on mine (copying some other guy at that)

>>96361959
Oh well, it's on with blutack anyway so I can swap them freely

>>96361971
Thanks. Its coming together nicely i think.
Added the moss just a little it ago.

>>96362097
Heres the side

>>96362112
And the other side.

Can someone tell me why I'm being told to use an airbrush vallejo paint for metallics without an airbrush?

>>96348761
All of them could do with some highlighting and an addition colour. Consider that they're going to be flying against the darkness of space and you won't be able to make them out properly.

>>96362572
because they're good metallics
airbrushes are cheap and affordable
get one from temu/aliexpress/etc because its the same as brand ones without the brand laser-printed on the side
use it

>>96362572
metallics tend to react poorly to thinning. airbrush paints start thinner than normal paint, so you don't run into issues getting a useful consistency. also vallejo silvers are generally very good.

All metallic paints are bad. If you don't learn to NMM everything you paint you're NGMI.

>>96362601
most people buy airbrushes because they found a new hobby they're enthusiastic about and want to prove it buy buying a bunch of gear. being able to paint a whole army to an amazing standard with just a couple of brushes and a homemade wet palette isn't satisfying to natural born consumers.

>>96362642
weird projection but okay

>>96362601
>get one from temu/aliexpress/etc because its the same as brand ones without the brand
Ah, here we go again.

made some more bases and based the puppy

>>96362572
If it's me shilling Vallejo Air Steel, it's because it's got very fine strong pigment for mixing with normal paints to make colored metals, while being perfectly brushable.

>>96362039
Is that text freehand?
Is it possile to learn this power?

I need a cute skin-heavy pinup bust or something. I want to practice some skin. Any good recommendations?

Trying to get myself back into this so bought a cheap kit of space wolf dogs and trying to make their poses work with some big fake rocks.

>>96362878
They are transfers, but there are definitely people out there that can to tidy freehanded scribbles just like that

A little more progress on this thing

>>96362662
Woof

>>96358313
Citadel.

>>96362642
gotta go back to the generals

>>96363667
Good ol' chestnut ink.

I wanna say I'm done with this model, but inevitably, taking a close-up picture like this always reveals one or two more things I wanna go back and fix.

>>96363780
pretty solid paint job though.

Feeling pretty good about this goblin

>>96363878
>>96363882
You gotta turn a light on or something, anon.

>>96363882
>>96363878
while i assume the model is nice holy fuck are you taking a picutre with like a first generation smart phone?

>>96363889
It's a night goblin.

I keep watching videos of a japanese guy making cakes and tarts instead of building models or painting. Help me snap out of it.

>>96364001
Step one. Grab an unopened box.
Step two. Assemble figures.
Step three. Prime them.
Step four. Paint them.
Step five. Varnish.
Step six. Return to Step one.

Blood Knight 1 of 5

>>96357702
Added a dark tone wash. Which one do you all like best?

>>96364350
2 and 6 look best in my opinion.

>>96364311
Looks fantastic.

should i stock up on paints before tariffs really hit

>>96364311
Nice! How are you going to base him and what order is he from? The only knights with brass armour I can remember are the former garrison of Brass Keep, did a few of them somehow get the kiss?

>>96350109
Wet them before use and hold them point up, so water sinks in. When you're done painting, rinse them and brush them against kitchen tissue over and over until no color is left. I've been using the same cheap brushes for like 2 years now and handle them pretty roughly.

>>96363896
His camera lens is probably all greasy and covered in other fluids. Come on, anon is a pornbrained gooner, what did you expect?

Painted up another one.

>>96364812
I haven't really thought about lore that much. I mainly just wanted a nice colour scheme.
Brass Keep seems cool and mysterious tho. Thanks for the hint. I might actually use that.

I was thinking about basing the entire army with russian dark mud and dark grass for a Diablo 2 vibe.

I got a little shitty with the panel liner

>>96364845
>>96358862
Are these Deadwalker Zombies or some other kit? They look pretty good.

I've been looking for some zombies to add to my regiment, but I'm not a fan of the models that carry gravestones and shit on their backs and was wondering how much work it would be to make them look good without that.

>>96364923
Those are indeed the 2021 multipart zombies kit, but I converted the banner and the bell staff from a pitchfork and a shovel, respectively. The bases are 20mm, they 100% were sculpted with whfb in mind.

>>96364861
Good work on the red, but the black part of his robes needs more highlights to give it volume. Funnily enough, I had the same dark mud idea when I was deciding how to base my army, but my recipe is astrogranite->agrax->gentle light grey drybrush->skeleton horde contrast.

>>96364956
I plan to add more detail when the army is complete.
For now it's more important to me to get all of the minis battle-ready so I can actually play some games, since this is my first army.

Working on some custom 3d hazard stripes and heraldry removal on this shoulder boy. I don't think I'll remove all of it, but the default is a little bit more ornate than I want, especially for an iron warriors type scheme.

>>96364983
Fair. I prefer to take the model off the handle only when it's done, so I'll likely only get to field mine next year.

Got one of my dead crusaders to the point where I felt comfortable adding him to the diorama.

>>96364311
Mirin' dat brass
>>96364350
I like 2&3/6&7. I also think 2 with the blue from 3 could be cool.
>>96364890
Nice green. Very cool.
>>96365008
That's rad

Procrastinating hard playing FFCC on dolphin

>>96364350
1 looks the most memorable.

Finally finished the next five vet-ish dudes

>>96365512
Those 5 o'clock shadows look so good.
How do you do it?

>>96365512
These look fantastic but I would not trust any of them with an animal

>>96365512
>>96365537
Agreed, these guys remind me of the Small Soldiers guys

>>96365512
Excellent work anon, very expressive faces.

>>96365512
Very nice usage of those Bolt Action heads. They always look a bit out of place within the more serious historical WW2 setting, but they work surprisingly well for 40k. Your awesome paintjob obviously helps a lot too.

Ty anons

>>96365537
Add a little grey (i think it was dawnstone) to the mid tone you're using for the rest of the face then mix in your lighter flesh tones for highlights

>>96365626
They're my favorites, definitely cartoony but very expressive

Stupid question, but - if I would try to spray acrylic paint with airbrush but can't place active ventilation, would simple HEPA filter placed on the cardboard box absorb at least some of paint particles that would go behind model/mini? I already use mask with P3 filter but I heard this helps too (also heard about placing wet towel nearby but no idea how that would help).

>>96365971
a filter with no forced airflow does nothing
for acrylics a face mask should be enough to protect you, the other things are more to prevent dust on the room

> wet towel
you would have to place it at the back where your filter would be, water traps particles, it kind of works like a filter, some fancy spraybooths have a waterfall at the back instead of a filter

>>96365971
If it's only acrylics then just a facemask should be fine

>>96349485
>>96361948
it's the second one for me

Holy smokes, two thin coats' Cuirass Leather (on the right) really does look like old formula Rhinox Hide. Even a bit richer of a colour.

>>96366029
>>96366172
Okay so I guess wet baby wipe could work the same. Thanks. Sorry for being paranoid.

>>96366215
Sorry, second reply should be for >>96366048

>>96366213
Yeah it's a super nice paint. I also like it's consistency, it's pretty runny but still covers very well.

>>96366213
And also my current WIP. The cloak was a struggle. I have no idea how to paint black or highlight cloaks but using lines for texture seems like a good idea to hide that fact.

>>96366303
I think it's probably good straight out of the bottle. I added a little water and even that seemed a bit runny. Still only took 2 coats for full coverage though.

>>96366334
>Still only took 2 coats for full coverage though.

Thats why its called two thin coats..

How do you personally handle puddle bases? Do you try and clip them off or base over them?

>>96366639
Depends on how I'm basing them. If I can get away with it, I just slop the texture paste into the puddle. If the basing is more involved than that I clip it off and just glue/pin the feet to the base as usual.

>>96366639
I guess I *could* clip them, but I was just planning to base over mine. The added surface area of the puddle base gives me more room to slather glue on.

I have some extra Blood Angel Terminators from Third Edition Space Hulk that I was going to form into squads for my army, and they come on weird oblong puddle bases meant for the Space Hulk board. It would be simple to glue those to round 40mm bases and simply work up the basing material around them to match the rest of my army.

>>96366639
remove them, first cut around the feet and then cut the remaining under the feet

>>96365971
Well whatever you do, if you get dizzy and a headache it means you're not protected enough.

Finished My GY for the most part.
The pile of mud is going to be a pile of bones and skulls (as soon as I paint them....)

>>96366744
i wouldn't call that a puddle base, that's more of an extended tactical rock, in that case you can keep it and build a similar base around on the rest of space

anyways if you feel like feet are too small point of contact pin them

>>96366815
I left the road unfinished because I wasn't sure if I was going to make this a single piece or add on more too it.

>>96366835
Heres the otherside.
I think I could have dont better with the stone coffin slaps being pushed up out of the earth but im generally happy with it. I would have rather have had wood lids but I didn't have any materials on hand to craft a good looking one.
The whole idea for the GY is that necromantic energy is causing the graveyard to become unquite, causing coffins and the dead to push up out of the ground. The future bonepile is where the town dumped a bunch of plague victims in a hole a long time ago.

>>96366816
>that's more of an extended tactical rock
There isn't any detail on these. It's purely to keep them from falling over during the game. What would have been neat is if they had sculpted some grating under them, as if the Terminators are cautiously moving through the corridors of a ... y'know, Space Hulk.

I did that for my Vindicare Assassin and a Devastator Squad I was working on so they could match the top of the Imperial Bastion I have on my display board.

>>96366639
I always just leave them because I'm lazy. It's not all that noticeable from table distance.

>>96366616
No way

>>96366616
holy shit no way

>>96366815
Very cool, love it.
>>96366329
Nice texture on the cape.
>>96366213
Every TTC paint I got so far has been really good. I wish the bottles were a bit better though...
>>96365512
Now these are proper army men!
>>96364311
That horse armor turned out great
>>96362662
Very nice pupper

>>96367014
>Every TTC paint I got so far has been really good. I wish the bottles were a bit better though...
The bottles having an agitator in them is awesome, but they are pretty much always clogged, at least the first few times I've used them. I have a bit of wire that I just poke in the hole before using them though which unclogs them.

>>96367014
>>96367092
I thought TTC bottles were just the standard droppers? I don't have or plan on getting any though.

>>96367092
>>96367142
Yes they are droppers but the "hole" at the tip is a bit wider than is other droppers I think? When you shake them a bit of paint always gets stuck under the cap which is not as much of an issue with, say, AK. It's not the end of the world, just a minor design fault. Still a bit annoying though.

Shading and dry brushed highlighting mostly finished now. Just gonna go in for some edge highlighting and extra weathering from here. Just threw a coat of varnish down over the texture paste to prepare for the scatter mix and the fixing tack/alcohol based scatter fix to go on. Probably going to go in on those crates and maybe barrels again with a little darker shading on the wood grain. The light tone wash I used didn't draw enough contrast imo. Mostly happy with the gate and darker wood.

I bought one of the Middle Earth Mumaks, and I realised that the structure on top of the oliphant has no easy way to dismantle from the mount. I want to be able to detach them for easier transport. Any tips on what can I do?

>>96367362
>>96367372
Looks great, nice job

>>96367142
TTC are not the same as what I'm used to with Reaper. I still like them.

Note that Pro Acryl droppers don't unscrew completely; they work more like the tops of PVA glue bottles where you open a channel for the liquid to flow through by unscrewing it as far as it will go, then close it by screwing it back down again.

>>96367362
>>96367372
Nice. Would use to clog streets during a riot.

>>96367484
PA bottles suck a massive fat dick.

can someone recomend me a black ink that dries matt? i have the ak one and it's a bit glossy

>>96367836
sure
Black ink with matte varnish over it.

>>96367915
no shit

>>96367915
>>96367956
mix it into the ink, and save the extra step.

>>96367982
i don't mind workarounds sometimes, but i was looking for an actual answer if it exists

>>96367982
This will fuck with the consistency of the ink which is one of the only reasons you'd want to be using ink, at that point just use black matte paint.

I made a mistake. I bought too many paints at once, and I'm used to basic starter sets and then buying as I need, which gives me time to really internalize and remember them. Now I have a bunch that I'm probably going to forget I own. I hadn't considered this issue at first...

>>96368134
I had a similar problem with Copic markers, but then I printed out their colour chart and marked off what colours I had and where I could buy replacements if necessary. I bet you could do something similar with a spreadsheet for your paints ... maybe even a Google doc that you could pull up on your phone when you're shopping for additional/replacement colours.

maxx darth is 98,9 % black
musou is 99.4%
Big difference.

>>96368991
Vallejo model color cold green fluo paint and dark sea blue for shading

>>96368602
Use rich browns or pinks before you layer on yellow.

>>96369044
Musou black is like 35$ for 25ml, dude.

Added the base scatter mix to the barricade. Now just gotta add the fixer, some tufts etc then do some highlighting and a little bit more weathering

I was thinking I might add some larger rocks and other detritus on the emptier side there.

Couple other little scatter arrangements. More mantic terrain crate, aside from the barrels beside the water pump in the arrangement on the right. Those came with the farmhouse I posted earlier itt. Oh, and the tiny table on the far right of the front of the barricade below that barrel. That part of it was literally just that barrel standing on top of an overturned bucket so I thought I'd add in that little extra table to make it slightly more robust in appearance. It fit perfectly in that little crevice it's in so I guess it was meant to be.

everything looks great but the potato bag

Next up I'm gonna put together some more modular sections to that barricade, overturned desk with that bench on it there will be the first. If anyone has any neat ideas for additional barricade detritus please let me know.

Thank you, yeah that needs some work I overshaded it. Slopped on too much contrast paint trying to use it up off my pallet

Washed my beepboops so they can dry overnight and I can clean and brighten them up tomorrow
I'm liking them a lot so far

why do army paints seem to cheap despite being quite expensive these days

>>96371192
Again, in English please?

>>96371206
army painter paints just seem like an inferior brand despite not being much cheaper than others

Finished with this one

>>96369528
It's still the price of 10+ pots of paint for only one.

>>96371353
Would

>>96371425
And it does a very specific job that those other 10 paints can't do.

>>96371466
W-would what anon?

>>96371312
Yeah

>>96371473
Fuck the space ship. Try and keep up.
NTA btw, but I would fuck the space ship so I assume that's what they meant.

>>96371480
>>96371466
Y'all need Jesus

>>96371466
I would also fuck the space ship

>>96368602
I had good results with Averland Sunset and Yriel Yellow from Citadel.
Their Iyanden Yellow contrast paint is good too.

He's in heaven and the only way to get up there is with a space ship. Also would while traveling there.

6 is my personal favorite. I like Necrons looking dark and evil.

There is no salvation for us.

>>96371604
For me, heaven IS fucking the ship.

any reason not to just pre-mix paints and store them for later use?

>>96371635
can you explain how you would fuck the ship. I don't understand the logistics of this task.

>>96371716
The possibilities are endless. Just get on there and freestyle it. No tutorials needed. Sometimes you could switch roles and it could fuck you.

>>96371604
>He doesn't want to fuck space ships.

Straight to Valhalla

Does plastic cement like tamiya’s affect dried greenstuff? Does it affect dried milliput?

How does your brain even function?

>>96371742
I'm in the guard i fuck my lasgun instead

Gender what's your favorite ASMR video of all time?

>>96371740
I've never used plastic cement after greenstuff/milliput. I don't think it does, but you can just test it off model.

>>96371740
no. Neither of them.

Necron color tester here.

Tried the reverse colors on some minis where I messed up the primer, but I don't really like either.

6 and 7 are my favorites I think, but still having trouble choosing between them.

>>96372028
holy shit what the fuck happened to the one on the right?

>>96371604
What's wrong with fucking the ship? at a certain point of development the difference between a "natural" and "artificial" mind will be meaningless, so as long as she has a suitable orifice then I don't see the moral problem.
Well, you know, presuming consent is involved.

The spray primer turned out to be a "texture" paint of some kind. Literally my first 40k mini, and a valuable lesson.

This thing is 956m long. You're Goddamned right it's consensual.
