w-what happened in 2019?

>>96954576
Some anon sent some treats he bought at a chinese wet market, there were some... complications.

>>96954576
I began compiling the imgur galleries in 2021. Either the anon who put together our 2019 gallery deleted it, or somebody deleted it for him.

>>96954538 (OP)
Nice pic choice for the OP.

Reposting my gamer witch because old thread dead.

Reposting my progress on some warbands from blackscorpion minis. I will have time to work more on them tonight and tomorrow.

I think it turned out well

In case the anon from the last thread didn't see it, the orangutans ( and chimps/baboons) are from Lucid-eye miniatures. They also have some badass S&S elves and men that would fit a R.E.Howard or Moorcock story

>>96954862
Very nice models, and the paint job ain't too bad either

>>96954963
it definetley turned

>>96954963
Red corsairs are cool. Wish they'd release a new Huron sculpt already

>>96955326
Cool dudes

>>96954862
Nice yellow, and like the bottom axe guy and the golden fuckoff sword dude

>>96954687
Is she going to have a Baja blast or gamer fuel potions?

>>96955404
There is a little cup with a straw that goes on the base, so maybe. I kind of want to do the 90's zigzaggy design on it.
I could mod it to make it a white monster though.

i dunno what pattern to put on the carapace
either dots, stripes or something whacky

>>96955425
>I could mod it to make it a white monster though.
Today, we are cancelling the apocalypse!

>>96955587
clear is a color too

>>96955587
>>Don't want to paint them green

Not to be totally 'tistic, but would you mind adding my SS gift to the '22 set? Didn't seem to make it in, or I was a fucking retard and didnt post it on time. The guy's chibi sisters were amazingly done, and it's a shame I didn't share them sooner.

>>96955835
Got a couple more

The falxmen with primitive harnesses are finally taking shape. Another problem I ran into was that the intended heads didn't quite fit to the neck joints, as they would've been too long. Thankfully the Dacian bag came with a ton of cloaks, which hides the back of the head quite well. Decided not to make any more greaves due to the baggy pants. Still torn about vambraces, as I feel they look a bit too thick when put on arms with long sleeves. Maybe I've just spent way too much time looking at them too close, not from a tabletop distance. What do you think?

>>96955932
what's the blue stuff?

>>96954545
>Matches have gone out.

I didn't get a match...
This is the second year in a row, now.

>>96955976
check junk mail

>>96955964

In polish it's "taśma lakiernicza", i think it's used in car detailing. It's smoother and more elastic than regular tape, and available in very narrow strips, down to 2mm, so I thought it would be useful for making thin armour lames, straps etc.

>>96954538 (OP)
Which one is better? Left or right?

>>96956036

Right.

>>96955846
>>96955835
>>96955856
So adorable. But last one is blurred.

>>96955976
And you think two weeks later posting here, and not emailing Santa about it would help?

>>96955835
Done

Got a sweet haul of jenga blocks today
What are some cool things I can do with them outside of using them as units?
I've got 15mm figs, the blocks are a little too high for walls but look ideal for buildings

Would I be a shitbag to include these in my ss present if I dont clean them first? Its just dried paint, not nasty. Its a big kitchen tile and fidget punch i used as palettes but dont use/like anymore

>>96956970
why would you even consider gifting this garbage to someone

>>96956975
Many people use both of these as dry palettes and like them.

>>96956975
some of us are impoverished
>>96956970
not sure about the tile but the fidget punch might be helpful, you're probably better giving it to someone you know would need/use it. Def clean it first though lmao
10/10 i laffed

>>96956966
You could put them in your butt.

>>96956991
Many people also eat shit, yet giving someone a bag of turds would be a bit rude, anon.

>>96957029
/b/tard pls

>>96957090
I'm getting really sick and tired of seeing india hate memes creep into everything

Still refining the letters a bit, should I do something else to them? I was thinking of doing them fluo magenta but I'm really happy with how they stand out in white.

>>96956970
Don’t send someone your unwashed unwanted trash

>>96957140
Looking good anon
I would be so confused yet enthralled to have that on a table

>>96954538 (OP)
Hey my mini is the op
Anyway 3 min speedrun face using ap speedpaints

>>96957140
>I was thinking of doing them fluo magenta
I luv me fluo, but Id leave them as is 2bh, if you did them fluo I feel it wouldnt read as a fabric banner as much

Today's progress, blue left for tomorrow.

>>96955326
The coolest renegades

>>96954538 (OP)
This was my model a week ago what i've been working in

>>96957405
And this is how its going

>>96957425
That looks great, what model is that by chance?

>>96957473
Balius by NFeyma
Its a Questoris proxy

>>96957405
>>96957417
>>96957425
>>96957489
>>96957497
>>96957525
Baste, I also have Balius printed here. Such a great kit.

>>96957545
Yeah nFeyma sculpts are great, his vehicles look awesome
Post your Balius my dude I wanna see different painjobs

I got stuff to make a makeshift vacuum chamber to degas silicone. That doesn't solve the pressure pot component though. I don't have space for a proper pressure tank but also everything else seems sketchy.

>>96957525
>proxy
>temporary representative
Whole lot of effort to paint something you're just going to swap out when you get the official model.

>>96957578
>Post your Balius my dude I wanna see different painjobs
It ain't painted yet, sorry. I plan on priming it sometime next week, tho.

btw, you might like Archvillain stuff, too. Slightly less hard scifi than nfeyma's or Mortian's, but extremely good nonetheless. I plan on printing/painting this big boy next month, ideally.

>>96957937
>you're just going to swap out when you get the official model.
I don't think i'm ever gonna be able to play a 40k game with anyone in my time tbhnow

>>96957974
Extensively gay post.

>>96957364
These are coming along nice, good progress from last time!

First time doin boomer hotrod flames, very fun

>>96958277
Are those firebats?

>>96957140
I think this is it for the banner part of the banner. Time to do the pole and the hooks and shit.

>>96958345
I still think her eyes are too starkly bright.

>>96958284
>Slammin'

>>96958356
I can see it, but it's a good thing, helps to draw the eye while it's on the table.

>>96958284
>>96958277
>need a light?

>>96956820
Thanks anon.

Shit, do you got more of the guys Chibis?
Or is there a stash of them somewhere?

>>96958345
you should have tried to make her face look more attractive. she has that walled 35yo office worker look to her.

Things are working in theory with my vacuum chamber. I'm going to try and recast the nekogalaxy mini cybersuccubus. if it works I'll send a recast to my SS (recasts are going to be for personal use only, I just don't want to spend like 50 bucks every time I want to try and paint a girl figure face)

I'm retarded and painted my hazard stripes the wrong way on one

>>96957956
That's an awesome suggestion, thank you anon

>>96958803
>my SoB is retarded and SHE painted HER hazard stripes on the wrong way
Life's short. Blame someone else, anon.

>>96958832
You know what, good point. She's going in the penitent engine.

>>96954538 (OP)
Bit more work done on this beast

>>96955587
Maybe mine could inspire yours! It’s not the best, but I think there’s a nice combination of colors you could think of.

>>96956970
I'd gladly use it to mix washes and glazes but I also used an altoids tin as a water holder for a year so don't treat me as the standard.

>>96959272
No thanks. I hate them.

>>96959272
>>96959309
I'm just kidding, they're lovely. I was thinking kind of like a teal/turquoise for the energy effects.

Nice power sword on the guy on the far left, btw.

>>96958552
>Shit, do you got more of the guys Chibis?
Yes.

>Or is there a stash of them somewhere?
Not that I know of, but I suppose I could put something together.

kinda slow tonight, eh?

>>96959852
I've only got very minor updates to post.

>>96955433
Flames like a hot wheels hotrod

>>96957525
I really like your weathered blue, care to share how you did it?

Time to try and mould her

>>96960042
Have you used that FDM case for this before? My experience with FDM is that is isn't watertight and you silicon moulding material might leak.

>>96960042
Id mould her yaknow wat im sayin.

>>96959852
>>96959322
Thx, I did a little bit of work on my orks

>>96960193
Nice leather what colors are those?

>>96960193
Okay so when I looked at the picture from a distance the center ork looked like a guy with glasses, a gigachad chin, and a beard which was shaved in the middle

>>96958803
Hazard stripes on anything other than Iron Warriors or Orks is pretty retarded in the first place, so they are all the wrong way.

>>96960301
Horrendously incorrect take.

>>96960330
Do you model orange pylons on your bases and hi-vis safety hats on your dudes too? Might as paint all your barrel tips bright yellow or orange while you're at it too.

>>96959878
Used a blueish dark gray and a "Lladro" blue, bit of white on the edges
Then washed it with brown oil

>>96960139
In the past I've used polystyrene card, this is the first fdm try.
I did seal the seams with white glue before pouring the silicone though.
Naturally it's leaking anyway. It's pretty slow so I'm hoping it will gel up and stop itself within the hour.
If it doesn't and it's botched, that's okay, I can do the silicone-as-a-gasket trick, which I knew I should have done, i was just impatient.
In my experience once it starts it's pretty hard to stop, so I've got to just hope the leak is slow enough.

>>96960345
If it's a well done paint job that looks good who gives a shit?

>>96954687
Clean your fucking fingernails, piglet.

>>96960366
Oh, I did want to mention. My makeshift vacuum chamber worked great, which is the main win here, so no more bubbles in my rubber at least.

>>96960345
There are ten thousand years between us and the imperium. The meaning of symbols and patterns changes. Despite lame dumbass jokes James makes sometimes, the 40k hazard stripes are not our contemporary "this thing/area is dangerous" markings.
