>inb4 At least I made the fucking thread. I go to sleep and you fuckers let it die.
Have a small how-to/instructional jpeg dump to get things started.

Before you ask, it's caulk or some shit. If you're not sure about it, google the product in the top image's name. It's in Polish so you'll have to do a bit of digging.
Carter Foster
What can I use for priming with a regular brush? Have heard mixed opinions about Imperial Primer, also are Vallejo primers usable without an airbrush?
Hudson Gomez
its school glue
Caleb Lopez
Is there a general guide for skin/flesh? I tried different methods but few of them are decent, and none good.
Anthony Miller
I finished some Death Guard Terminators - just in time to realize that Death Guard Terminators are no longer a thing!
Isaac Sanders
Just remember you're painting the undertone at first. It rarely even resembles the end color until third layer. Most human complexions are fine with Tallarn Flesh/Bugman's Glow as a start, you just have to dial it lighter or darker from there.
Aiden Hill
I like them. I guess you can still use them as counts-as for something? Haven't followed 8th much (I still play with 5th)
Are those scythes from anvil industry?
Lincoln Bell
Acknowledgement of futility and the energy to slog on in spite of it is the spirit of Nurgle as described in the original Realms of Chaos books.
You did good
Brandon Roberts
I've also managed two fuck up the last row in my compostie shot. Go me!
Thank you user. Yeah, i can still use them as undivided Termies, still kind of a letdown after all the work i put into finally converting and painting some proper cult troops. Scythes are indeed from Anvil Industry, i can only recommend them for this kind of job.
Jaxon Davis
They'll be a thing again soon, when the proper deathguard release comes (with the plaguemarine kit, some termies and mortarion etc). Also I think we'll get our codex (hopefully Chaos/CSM, but some seem to think standalone Deathguard, which sounds stupid) among the first codex releases.
Benjamin Watson
Working on this guy for a while now. Slow and steady, but just did his rusty bronze belt. Thoughts?
Isaac Flores
Given that we've seen a Death Guard terminator in the teaser video that teased Mortarion's scythe, it would be very surprising if there weren't rules coming for DG terminators very soon in the same release as Mortarion (presumably a codex). Have some faith.
Juan Jackson
How do you guys keep your painting shemes organized for army painting? I mean like do you paint every mini in the army by the same sheme or do you make slight changes with every mini?
I was hoping to find like a piece of software that had all the pains and a neat way to organize them. Only found than on the android appstore so far but that's basic;
Ian Flores
What do you mean? Its not a big task to just use the same paints for the same stuff?
Lucas Reed
I just like to keep shit organized and note down with what i did "what", sort of speaking so that i can repeat effects without going "wich paints did i use then?".
Something like warscroll but for paints.
Anthony Nelson
really good work, especially like the one in the third row, far right!
Landon Campbell
MS Excel.
Asher Moore
I feel like i'm caught in this loop, i'm already using excel but want to leave it and everyone keeps pointing me back towards it.
Maybe it's time to start developing what i need instead of relying on the community.
Christian Baker
Who here has experience with Rustoleum sprays? I had exclusively used GW ones but i wanted to try some other brands and people put Rustoleum in good regards
I got plastic white primer and the Mode grey, as well as one of the 'advanced forumla' coppers [im doing Minotaurs]
Anything i should know? Did i get the wrong primers?
Henry Thompson
I use it for terrain where detail is a non-issue. Never dared use it on a mini, you can tell just how thick the paint coat gets, it'll kill the recesses in your mini.
Luis Wood
Imperial primer is pretty shit, but I've heard good things about Vallejo.
Jose Murphy
>Maybe it's time to start developing what i need instead of relying on the community. So what features to you need that Exel doesn't have?
I mean for tracking paintschemes all you basically need is a piece of paper and a pen. You write down what colors you used and in what order you did that. It's just a list with some notes basically. And Excel or the google equivalent should be more than up to the task.
I'm kind of drawing a blank on what what else you could possibly need to track it?
Aaron Price
I've got your back user.
Here's how i do it: For every army i start, i pick up a single page of paper and draw a crude scetch of the go-to soldier, with all the usual details. Armour, Skin, Leather, you name it. Then i go on and put on blotches of the paint that i use on those sections. i make short comments on how to thin or mix certain paints.
Boom. That's all there is to it. Just a pen and some paper. Fking magic.
Bentley Taylor
Wanna get silencers for my Ork pistols, similar to pic related. Any bits I can loot from, or do I have to use plasticard rod?
Jaxson Edwards
>silencers for my Ork pistols
Ryder Wright
Any update on the user who was making thicc dark eldars?
Julian Roberts
Ork Kommandos ya git, with operator levels of tacticool gear, backpacks, ammo belts, goggles etc.
Cooper Sanders
Some Oldhammer here?
I finished the frail guy yesterday.
Adrian Long
That guy with the snake tail used to be in all the White Dwarf back in the days. Good night sweet prince!
Jose Mitchell
When is a good time to dry brush? Pretty much only for stone and metals? Or could you use it on leather as in the leather on a shield?
Jayden Green
Don't worry, bro. They teased images of death guard terminator models already. When they do a full release for dg rather than the starter set you'll get the rules you seek.
Anything on the sculpt that has a strong texture. Think furs and the like. You can drybrush on flat surfaces too, but I'd only use that if you want to add some texture via painting there, cause it'll end up looking a bit chalky usually.
People used to drybrush tanks with big brushes all the time to bring out the raised detail and edges for example. These days most tutorials tell you to wash around that stuff.
There isn't really a right or wrong way to do it, but you gotta know the limits of the technique and when you can use it to your advantage.
Bentley Jackson
is that PVA gule?
Andrew Cook
I was having some beers and watching duncan on my phone. Saw his screamer tutorial and had a hard on to paint some demons. My friend had some old screamers primed that he'd never painted and he was happy to have me bang em out.
I gotta say, as someone who normally paints elite infantry, its super refreshing to just paint some mooks whose models eat up lazy paint techniques.
Anyone else ever just see something that looks easy and satisfying to get results out of and get a strong urge to paint it? Kinda want to steal some of my other friends unpainted gaunts or cron warriors now.
William Wilson
I can understand that you like screamers with their texture, but gaunts? They don't offer much detail and even painted to a very high standard won't realy stand out of a horde army.
Nolan Diaz
how'd you paint them? they look great!
Nolan James
Honestly, I'm just kinda in the mood to paint any horde army right now that doesn't have a lot of details.
I think its cause I'm coming out of finishing a triumvirate and a bunch of deathwatch
Joseph Reyes
I'm looking for very small drone models that look like they're just large enough to mount a stormbolter on. (and similar specialist-size weapons)
Both crawling and hovering drones are acceptable.
Around the size of tau gun drones is fine.
Carson Harris
Yes. But if you know what pva glue is like when its dry you'll know that this stuff doesn't dry very hard, its almost rubbery. Make of that what you will.
Blake Lopez
You can get some jumppack backpacks from puppetswar that look pretty much like drones if you mount them horizontally on a flying base. Saw someone doing that and it looked pretty good.
You can also get blisterpacks with various kinds of drones for Gates of Antares.
Antenociti used to have their own sci-fi range of minis, but I'm not sure if they still sell any of the infantry minis. They used to have drones too.
Bombshell has some drones with various configurations you could use for something like that. These would probably even work for an AdMech or Dark Mechanicus type army pretty well right out of the box if that is something you are trying to do.
I think Blight Wheel have a bunch of smaller crawling spider like drones that should work for anything 40k too.
Lucas Parker
Oh and I forgot to add that sometimes looking at 15mm minis may be a good idea too. A 15mm tanks could make a nice 28mm gun drone.
Joshua Morgan
Been awhile since I've posted, so here's a bunch of shit I've been working on.
Connor Kelly
why would you not use plastic rod will be cheaper and the exact fucking same as any aftermarket thing It doesnt even matter if it looks chunky cause orks
Lucas Martin
>also are Vallejo primers usable without an airbrush Yup. I use the Game Color White Primer. Kinda thin, so you end up doing layer after layer, but it works fine. Beware of larger models- it'll take you a million years. For that shit- vehicles and what have you- just get a spray.
Very nice, friendo. I will say, through, the shield on Lefty and the tail on Snekman look a bit flat. The tail isn't as much of a big deal, but the wash on the shield looks splotchy and hideous. Also, Righty McPoints is getting more work on his skin, yes? Needs a stronger highlight.
Blake Scott
Sneaky gitz, ya grot.
Juan Ross
sunglasses don't even have properly connected frames
0/10 apply yourself
Tyler Morales
user bringin that heat.
Dominic Torres
They're going to be used to represent wargear for an Inquisitor model, so that all she needs to personally carry is her sword without having to worry about magnetizing a dozen arms.
Puppetwar's ROTOR type WING-PACK are great, but simply too large.
Those Gates of Antares are adorable and my only worries about them is that they might be too small. They remind me of Mags from Phantasy Star, so I might pick up some anyway...
Bombshell suffers from overpricing of sub-par sculpt quality. (That, or they need to hire much better painters for their store images) $5 for a single 16mm figure is hard to commit to.
Blight Wheel's Mecha Arachnids are great! It looks like I could even put a conversion beamer on one. if they didn't take them away from inquisitors, anyway. Same with all the ordo Xenos gear.
Anyone know what bits they used for the Tac Squad?
Those shields are sick.
Alexander Stewart
Seeing as they're Minotaurs, they're likely made from mostly Forgeworld parts.
I know those combatshields are forgeworld.
Nathaniel Taylor
Those are sick, user. Especially loving the the top three on the left and the one on the top right.
What game are these minis from?
Elijah Morris
Kingdom Death maybe, atleast the lion thing looks that way
Julian Howard
>I know those combatshields are forgeworld.
Ah, you're right. They're from the LEGION MKIII BREACHER SIEGE SQUAD.
I have zero knowledge on FW rules but do those shields grant any special rules or can the be applied for pure aesthetic looks when playing GW games?
Tyler Jackson
They're all Kingdom Death miniatures, like said.
From Top-Left to Bottom Right: People of the Stars Male People of the Stars Female Dragon King Human Form Dung Ball (belongs to Dung Beetle Knight) Slenderman Survivors in Rawhide Armour (I think) and Lion Armour The guy with the 3 ladies on his base is the Lion Knight Second.
Wyatt Moore
So I got this in the mail yesterday. It came with a 60mm base, so I picked up some of those Sector Mechanicus bases from my LGS for variety. However... it still feels like the base is too small. Gf had the brainwave to stick it on a 130mm (Onager) base, but add a satellite figure (Techpriest, Enginseer, Datasmith) as well. Any suggestions?
Jason Nguyen
Not mine, but how's it look?
Tyler Green
Bad, honestly.
Chunky paint, bad details, mold lines still present. There's a lot of room to improve. Tell the painter to look at some videos or articles like this:
Anyone got the alpha legion metallic painting guide?
Lucas Ortiz
...
Ethan Wilson
Reposting from last thread. Just waiting on parts in the mail so I can continue building
Isaiah Morgan
Thick. Chalky. Mold lines are visible. Lots of flat areas- as in, lots of spots with no apparent highlights.
Gabriel Scott
whoops
Oliver Jones
...
Lucas Bailey
low polygon count
Lucas Lopez
Sounds like you want servo skulls. Forgeworld has some, or you could just stick some gubbinz on skulls. You can always use bigger skulls for bigger gear.
Robert Jackson
Shotgun+frag cannon squad basically done. Im excited to work on the corvus blackstar now. I really wanna make some kind of flare or smoke beacon on its base to make it look like it's being signalled to evacuate a kill team.
Jayden Powell
Sounds like you underestimate the size of guns. One would have to use an ork warboss' skull to make a servo with a meltagun not look stupidly undersized.
If they wanted servo skulls, they would have asked about them. (or might not have at all, seeing how easily those are to obtain and scratch build)
Bentley Myers
How would I go about making my own Astrogranite Debris, for scenery purposes?
John Lewis
Is this what you seek, alpharius-senpai?
Cooper Williams
What does /wip/ think of my DE?
Robert Gomez
Diggin it. Show me moar.
Joshua Robinson
Decided I'm going to add Death Guard to my Nurgle Daemons when they're released so I'm making a start on the supporting cast. This will be a predator.
Texture paint? Just sand/grit and paint. Plenty of guides around and generally it's a variation on that theme. Other companies sell equivalents in larger and usually cheaper formats than GW.
Dylan Watson
Rate my kitbash pulse accelerator drones!
Grayson Garcia
Looks properly evil, very nice
Christopher Ward
im 100% stealing that Idea, i was wondering what those extra maggoth parts were going to turn into
Lincoln Bell
I've still got tons of it left, what an amazing kit. I've used it for my Great Unclean One, a daemonprince, now this and I still have enough of the riders for head and body swaps for the Death Guard AND there's plenty of fleshy bits left.
Gavin Baker
Airbrush with thinned Tamiya Gunmetal (thin all Tamiya colours with Tamiya X-20A Thinner)
Airbrush from top of model with thinned Tamiya Flat Aluminum
Mix Tamiya Clear Green with Tamiya Clear Blue in 10/90 mix and airbrush over the model in 2 light, thin coats
Airbrush armour panels with Tamiya Clear Blue. Blend from middle of figure down, so the strongest blue colour is at the bottom of the armour panels
Airbrush from the middle upwards with Tamiya Clear Green, so strongest green colour is at the top of the armour panels
Using an airbrush, blend a highlight on the highest panels (head, shoulder pads, top of backpack) with Tamiya Flat Aluminum with a tiny amount of very thinned down Tamiya Sky Blue
Apply thinned coat of Tamiya Clear Blue over the highlight and blend into the surrounding area
Silver: basecoat with Citadel Leadbelcher, highlight with Vallejo Model Air Steel and wash with Citadel Nuln Oil
Chipping: hit edges with Citadel Leadbelcher in striking motions and highlight with Citadel Ironbreaker
Originally he'd said to use Citadel Leadbelcher and Ironbreaker in a 50/50 mix for step 1, but now he says to do all the airbrushing with Tamiya paints and all the brushwork with the Citadel and Vallejo paints.
Hunter Thomas

Leo Rivera

Cameron Ross
you could still use them as normal terminators
well done, looks evil, even being white
not bad, could be considered as done
Samuel Edwards
Bretty good, you took a risk and it paid off nicely. I would like to see the vehicles also.
Camden Morales
Yeah these are pretty rad, dude.
Levi Clark
Okay, i see it has already been posted.
You should have done the rest of the eldar white also, and black-white color for the vehicles are a bit dull. Bluish -purple you used on the sash and white complementary color would have been a better choice for scheme. And while you are at it , buy some masking tape and paint them in caunter camo scheme.
Michael Smith
The white paint scheme are for the trueborn because it takes much longer to paint than the black. The black is for the standard warriors. I'll try the other paint scheme on a different raider.
Jordan Long
That seems reasonable to me, bro. Makes em stand out well, too.
Christian Watson
hot rod/10

The only problem is I have no idea how I should paint my wracks and other coven stuff without it looking out of place but also not looking too similar to my infantry
