Tfw I realize Forge World uses the Knight House I was going to use that I thought was obscure and unused. Guess my Knight won't be a special snowflake then.

But at least my legs look cool. Pretty happy with my repose.

Sorry to stray off topic so early on in the thread but in a recent storm my pc got fried and i lost a bunch of greenstuffing guides that i really need at the moment, i had a project for a scratch built tech priest dominus but i think it failed due too over-ambition but i wish too try again with the old one serving as a learning experience. Thanks in advance.
Cooper Hughes
You got a picture of the scratch build dominus?
Aiden Rodriguez
I stopped about at this point, i wasn't happy with the result but here goes.

A long time ago i bought a Landspeeder Storm. I totally forgot about it and just recently discovered the sprues in one of my boxes.
Sadly i can't find any instructions for it. Is there a download archive on the GW site or somewhere else in the internet?
Check this, it's a giant archive but i can't be bothered to find the specific model.
Luis Morgan
Im no expert but i feel like you used too mucj greenstuff and cut too deep with you tool.

Found it. Thanks

I want to believe your pics are so shitty on purpose to trick us...because, damn, those look great.

First eldar model ive painted in about 5 or so years

My only camera is on my cellphone, thus the poor pic quality.

nice model! i've found personally that painting models adhered to the wall tends to mess up how i do my highlights, though.

I would rework that head gem and train your gem painting skills now that a big one is available

Fuck this, I'm gonna write this one off and just buy 10 more wraithguard new.
Nicholas Jenkins
The risk of buying used models online, I suppose.
Liam Perez
i bet it was advertised as 'well painted' too
i think in most of these cases it's a punctuation error and it should read 'well, painted.'
Anthony Williams
Ask for a refund? Open a case on ebay, get your money back with paypal?

I haven't raised a brush in a while.

Samuel Edwards
Don't let me thing about it. I also bought a box of Hellstriders. More Steeds to paint. But it was so cheap.
Ayden Baker
You mean some ruins?
Michael Walker
Is there a recommended glue for assembling? The GW store stuff seems not great and leaves some parts wobbly.
Chase Campbell
ruins but with some kind of significance, culturally
Hudson Carter
Finecast or plastic? For plastic use Revel model glue and for Finecast any superglue will do.
Jack Hall
I saw a bunch of church-like stuff when I googled ambulatory. Maybe I can scarch-build something when it's time to base them.
Carson Jackson
Loctite Precision for superglue, Revell Contacta for plastic glue. Accept no substitutes.
Liam Perez
This is the thing for plastic models.
Mason Reyes
how do you deal with the needle getting clogged?
Joshua Lee
It rarely clogs if you keep it clean. If it does: hold a lighter at the upper half and it will resolve the problem
Chase Bell
Hold it over a candle/lighter for a little bit. You'll see a flame and possible some spurting coming from the needle as the stuck glue melts/vapourizes.
Just remove the needle from the bottle, just in case shit hits the fan you don't want the entire bottle catching fire.
Jaxon Martinez
some kind of destroyed imperial cult shrine perhaps??
Kayden James
You can just leave it needle facing down for a bit as well, since the glue will melt away the clog on its own.
Wyatt Murphy
I love you guys. I want to buy a bunch of Christmas village churches after xmas and list them on ebay as "Knight titan basing kits"
Noah Rogers
Interesting. Never thought about that. I'll try next time
Julian Miller
thanks, i tried boiling the noodle which worked but it would clog again immediately with use. it seems to clog if i dont recap it within seconds of use. what's causing it?
Nathan King
Maybe your climate?
I try to put the cap on again pretty quickly too, but usually the glue is fine even after 20-30 minutes without it too.
Ian Flores
it didnt used to do it, im thinking maybe it's more prone to it when near-empty
Josiah Peterson
Thanks, will give it a try.
Jordan Harris
Anyone have that old necron painting/building/army making guide with the dead tallarns in it on them? Not the how to paint citadel miniatures necrons one in the megaupload.
Adrian Young
I've got some serious shit here user.
Jaxson Martin
Is it this one? There aren't any dead Tallarns, but it looked useful.
Easton Richardson
da fuck?
is polite a bad translation or something?
Blake Johnson
Nope.
They were really called that way during the Crimea occupation/liberation.
Nice minis btw, i only dislike that with these 1/35 kits the poses of the minis are not flexible and you are kinda forced to build them in one specific way. Detail is superb though.
Joshua Gonzalez
>In answer to the question of the presence of Russian troops in Crimea, Russian Minister of Defence Sergey Shoygu said, "Regarding the statements about use of Russian special forces in Ukrainian events, I can only say one thing – it's hard to search for a black cat in a dark room, especially if it's not there," and added cryptically that searching for the cat would be "stupid" if the cat is "intelligent, brave, and polite", from whence the expression "polite men" originated.
Said cat in included in the model box.
Luke Davis
Yes, thats the one. Also look in the sand, dead tallarns.
Dylan Green
You gotta hand it to them, they can lie through their teeth and everyone will call them out on their bullshit, and they still get away with it.
I guess that says more about the state of the west than anything else. Give Russians brown skin and they could take over Europe like that.
Evan Nelson
boldness wins.
It helped that there was next to no violence during their crimea-takeover.
Blake Ross
Weak enemy helps even more. No way would this have happened like it did during the Cold War. But now all western leaders are just pussies and Russia takes them for a ride.
Grayson Ross
It depends on the line thought you take. If you believe the encroachment of Nato onto Russia's neighbouring states was/is an unthinkable grievance, then this episode didn't pay off too badly as a rebuke.
Otherwise Russia have been internationally demolished through sanctions and their reputation at an all time low. Examples from most of their state officials (even in sport) goading and beating their chests like gorillas have set them back far.
They seemed to have devised an effective propaganda offensive through media and funding dissident political parties in Europe, but that has became transparent and more of an embarrassment for them.
Anthony Harris
Are there any cool renegade Knight houses/freeblades? They seem to all look the same with a red/black colour scheme.
Landon Collins
I'm sure the supplement that came with this was full of Renegade Knight houses.
Jayden Richardson
I've got that box next to me, and the only renegade Knight present is Litany of Destruction. There's a sheet for 40k rules to field a Renegade Knight, but there's no colour schemes or heraldry for anyone but Litany.
Hudson Ward
Hmmm. Leave to GW to skip on the fun stuff. Maybe WD 116?
Elijah Allen
really quick question...
Does anyone know a good solution to painting in high humidity areas? I can never not get my paint to fuzz. There's just one little office that I can work in, and I do my handpainting in there OK but I was wondering if there's some kind of rigging that can be made indoors?
I don't know i f airbrushing would give better results against the fuzz problem, but I'm estimating not because it's not the delivery system that's the issue here, it's the environment.
Appreciate any advice on the matter, hopefully other bros that breathe hot soup everyday can offer up their own experiences.
Blake White
We have some counter-terrorist team here.
Andrew Wood
To be fair, airbrushing should have somewhat less issues compared to rattlecans.
I'm certainly used to the humidity (I live in the Netherlands, the average humidity here is above 80% year round). However the temperatures are far milder than they are in blisteringly hot summer Florida.
Your fuzzing issues are likely to be caused by both the heat (the paint is dry before it ever gets to the model) and the humidity (the paint particles are attracting water on the way). Solving one side of the equation might help, by switching out the solvent based paint from a can for water based acrylic airbrush paint you should eliminate the drying issue to some extent. However it can still pick up more moisture from the air, but that should be less of an issue than the solvent drying out on the way to your models. Thin layers and letting the models dry between coats should help though.
Eli Sullivan
There seems to be some more pictures of different finished Knights in that issue, but nothing extensive.
Parker Rodriguez
I can't find a download for that issue anywhere. I guess I shouldn't feel privileged while being a dirty pirate, though.
Derp derpity derp derp. Of course the WIP thread sticky is the only thread I didn't look through. Thanks based user.
Aaron Baker
Working on some Honor Guard.
Blake Richardson
If it's a minor clog, I can usually get it working by poking the end with a needle and then giving it a light squeeze. You should also be preventative and put the cap back on as soon and often as possible.
Caleb Garcia
No problem. If you find something sweet on the renegades, let me know.
Levi Murphy
If you really want to be a special snowflake make your own color scheme
Still have a primarch and some FW armours coming on the mail soon.
Kill me.
Juan Reed
Is there any guide on how to get Metallic Alpha Legion without using an airbrush? I've seen alpha legion (and thousand suns for that matter) which are metallic blues and they look really good but every hand painting tutorial isn't metallic and the only metallic ones I've seen used an airbrush
Isaac Fisher
If I wanted to do zenithal highlighting followed by glazing as a way of speed painting, are there any wash/glazes that are bright enough to use straight out of the bottle that I can use to get a high quality result? I only really have experience using GW washes and they are usually dark after they dry

Luke Thompson
It won't be as "blue green" as the forgeworld scheme, and a fair bit darker, but Vallejo Model Air Arctic Blue is a gorgeous deep blue metallic that is perfectly usable with a brush and covers pretty well.
Jaxson Wood
That's a bit of work but not as bad as mine. >3,000 pts of Necrons >1,000 pts of SoB >2,000 pts of Inquisitor/daemon hunters When I see a good deal I can't pass it up.

Check out Element Games, they sell Scale 75's range of paints and there are all sorts of metallics you could use if you don't own/don't want to use an airbrush.
Andrew Mitchell
i've got a mountain of malifaux stuff that needs to get painted, probably about 30-40 models, I keep buying more, I really think I have a problem.
Anthony Rodriguez
I think it's more special to use an obscure scheme that's still official. I really like House Vyronii (The scheme in that picture), so I'll probably go for it. Their transfer sheet isn't released yet, but hey, my freehanding could use some practice anyway.
Daniel Davis
I need your help anons.
I need a recipe for DIY ink/wash for my painting baby steps. First attempt was shitty, minis look more dirty and dark, but ink didn't really stayed into the holes. I just used water, black paint and a drop of dish washer. I guess my proportions were wrong.
I'm currently in 3rd world country so I have no access to original wargaming inks. The same with future floor polish i read. What do /wip? Is it possible using normal dish washer? Should I look for some specific ingridient in my household cleaning stuff to make it work? What proportions should I mix?
Help.
