Let's say you were recovering from a long-term injury and had a load of scrap Marines, what chapter would you paint them as?
I want something simple to paint but striking.
Owen Reyes
Reposting for last thread. Finished my first two veterans. On another note, I was thinking about making some rough riders with bikes from ramshackls, but i'm not sure about lances. High elves kit had some that had some arms that seemed easy to adapt
Jose Nelson
You had two chances to flip your picture user
James Hall
>Simple to paint but striking Literally BTs
Ryan Gonzalez
What ya guys think of these paintjobs?
9 decides what founding chapter gets the chad treatment next, asap i get my hands on another test marine
Juan Mitchell
Sorry I should have said vanilla SM, and a canon Chapter but not too much of a popular/notable one.
I've considered Astral Claws like pic above on simplicity, maybe Marines Exemplar.
Ayden Hill
blood ravens have a nice scheme to paint
Lincoln Ramirez
Lemon-lime/10 Do a sprite themed chapter next
Luis Thomas
I give it a 7^/10
Grayson Russell
Re posting from previous thread : I've been working on ice bases for my Winter themed skaven army. Those are for my rat ogres. Any advices on how to preserve the white drybrush ?

Posted them in the wrong thread but here's my first mini in 4 years, could I get some pointers on it? First time trying battle damage too and it was a lot easier than I thought it would be.

Vallejo Smoke and white primer base are a great mix. Whipped her up yesterday

Well, the funny thing is that the phone showed me the photo correctly and I didnt notice it was upside down until i saved it on my pc. The more you know I guess.
Matthew Ross
A box of storm boyz and an OOP nob I did a fancy base for to lead them, in progress.
Need to pick out the leather pants and boots a bit, and do the fur lining on the rest of the boyz, and metal bits and other various details to finish.
Carson Fisher
And a closer shot of the nob.
Jaxon Brooks
I'm gonna steal that idea to make autoguns for my renegade militia
Justin Lewis
One roll for Guilliman's boys
Joshua Wilson
leaving the crossbolter off makes me sad
paint's good though
Charles Jones
70% done tzaangors from the silver tower box, gold has to be shaded and highlighted, silver has to be done and some other details
what you guys think so far?
Colton Brooks
While I wait for my weathering dust to arrive, I decided to restore some broken stuff in my conversion box. Fixed this bad boy up and I've started repainting it.
Mason Anderson
Imagine a world where orks had up to date models
Paintjob is pretty good so far tho
Jace Wilson
Now in sensible file size edition.
And I'm too much of a special so-and-so to actually build ork kits according to instructions. I'd still want the new bits though.
Asher Gray
Here you go mate, might help with some other ideas.
Jacob Allen
Honestly, just use the ones from the genestealer cults. They're really good.
Connor Powell
How's it look? Had these for a while now, just got around to painting one by one. Needs cleanup, but i think it's one of my best so far.
Dominic Watson
ok thats pretty cool.
Colton Taylor
Rainbow Warriors from OG founding.
Brandon Hernandez
Another conversion I've saved from my broken stuff. How I never had a proper go of painting this before I don't know.
Blake Foster

I'm doing olive drab armor
Which shade should i use Athonian camoshade Agrax eathshade Nuln oil
Austin Thompson
Iron Knights.
Jack Foster
Camoshade might not be dark enough, I'd probably go with earthshade.
Nuln Oil should be reserved for metals and blacks, and maybe occasionally browns.
Alexander Wright
Daemon Prince I did a while ago, she's been my MVP in 8e since she can hide in a pack of furies. She's become one of my centerpieces.
Jacob Allen
beautiful user
looks like your brush got a little dry when you were doing those delicate highlights towards the end
but overall looks really good and neat
niiiiice lewd daemon for the lewd god
Joseph Long
alright thanks, i'll go with camoshade since i think i'll want to keep the colour a bit cleaner looking.
Benjamin Martinez
Lamentors
Colton Parker
Thanks lad
Gavin Gonzalez
You can also make a nifty las-smg by adding a stock to the back of a laspistol.
Logan Stewart
>mfw my daemon prince (not really) is almost done >just need to wait for the fucking package with bits >and perhaps finally make the fucking edge Fuck you for not being as lazy as me
Hunter Morris
Celebrants.

Ryder Williams
Seconding. Celebrants are awesome
David Moore
Strange question, but would the head of a Saurus warrior (or other Seraphon really) fit onto the front of the Tech-Priest Dominus pope head? I'm thinking about making pic related as an HQ for my AdMech.
Jordan Bailey
Trying to make the poses of my Dreadnoughts a little less static. How'd I do? Poses aren't 100% exact (the blu tack isn't holding them up/together too well) but the basic ideas get along I think. Top one is going to be a standard run of the mill Dreadnought and the bottom one is going to be Death Company.
Fucking GW. Why can't you just make all the dreadnought bits compatible with one another? I know why they'd hate bit swapping, but this is just stupid. Most of the bitz have *slight* differences that make them not fit on any other kit purely to prevent swapping so it seems. What little is swappable without conversion work barely fits on anyway. Crafty cunts.
Andrew Jones
>making the lance the focal point of the model nigga you dun goofed
Ethan Gonzalez
The bottom one is still static.
The top one is good, the turn in the hip is dynamic, not sure how I feel about the lean to the right due to height change, and definitely think the left leg is too far out, if it's possible you might want to move the left leg inwards a bit.
Camden Butler
No, get the old Saurus head instead. Smaller, fits better, matches image more anyway.

How would I paint metal like this? I've been thinking about redoing my dark eldar and painting them synthwave inspired. Trying to get some metals like in payday 2. Any ideas on how to paint them for that matter owuld be helpful too, just trying to brainstorm right now
Connor Sanchez
So I am getting ready for my test Primaris Lamenter. Got Army Painter White Primer and noticed it stuck to the mini chalk like, is this normal? Also this is my first time painting an army yellow.
Asher Edwards
Is there a better shade for yellow other than Casandora Yellow? Want something for better contrast so I was thinking of either Seraphim or Agrax.
Zachary Fisher
Anyone here a very good sculptor? I am interested in getting something commissioned.
In other news, I've been working on my omegon/alpharius model built off of guilliman. I have been carving out his armor and it has been a chore. I'll fix any imperfections later with magicsculpt.
I'm good enough and confident enough at sculpting to give him a sweet spawn cape, but I'm not confident putting scales on said cape. I'm also toying around with giving him the signature spear, but I'm doubting my ability to come up with one/find one impressive enough for the model.
Most forward piece was what I was in the middle of cleaning when I took the pic.
Jaxson Hill
Agrax, but don't just slop it everywhere. Nuln Oil if you want the cell-shaded look.
Adrian Ortiz
use actual pearlescent paints, like what gets used on car models
the stuff is super toxic though and a bear to work with
Matthew Mitchell
Does anyone happen to have an image of the way various shades work on a model?
Like, what's the difference between Drakenhof Nightshade, Agrax Earthshade, Nuln Oil, etc.
Noah Bennett
Anyone have experience with this?
Nicholas Allen
The color. Drakenhof is blue, Agrax is dark brown, Nuln is black.
Jackson Long
They work the same way and bring different shades, but are useful for different things. I dunno too much but, Nuln: Detail pop, greasing, great with metallics and leadbelcher Agrax: Dirtying Drakenhof+seraphim+druchii: muzzle burn
Nathaniel Morgan
Reposting from last thread with a new question: has anyone tried putting a heavy bolter with the Primarus Marines?
Luis Cook

Isaac White
Lisa Frank would be proud
Alexander Evans
Not enough unicorns and trapper keepers.
Alexander Green
Yes, I'd recommend it highly. I haven't experimented too much with it yet, but it's worked well in most places I've tried it (& I think the failures are mostly down to user error).
Hudson Diaz
On the subject of washes Do any washes or glazes go well or do anything on top of black?
I've seen people nuln over black but I dunno why

Joseph Barnes
Hey that's me :D
Sebastian Harris
this shit is amazing, I prefer using it to make bases, extra guns, and other cool bits also when you're using it, put the molds in the freezer, whatever you've made with the molds will pop right out (will take quite a number of hours)
Austin Campbell
Just finished my lord of contagion. First time edge highlighting. Any pointers?
Justin Wood
Legs look especially good to me.
Nathaniel Adams
Not bad. Try to focus the highlight, make it more intense towards the corners and the higher points.
Anthony Lee
That's when making the new part out of GS/whatever, right? Not when making the mold?
Aaron Edwards
I just used nuln oil over black, and yes it feels like it gave it a bit more texture
Jose Morris
My Raven Guard Lieutenant with some of his mans.
The pamphlet that came with DI just showed that their helmets were black so I did the white veteran arms plus a company marking to distinguish him.
I'll do squad markings eventually.
Jose Brooks
I would have made his mouthplate or entire helmet white as well, looks better and should be more accurate, but it's your choice.
Jackson Sullivan
I feel their lenses aren't exciting enough. Also, mold lines.
Eli Edwards
There's a little section in the Primaris mini book that gives painting tips and shows how most first founding chapters mark their Lieutenant helmets and the Ravens just leave it black with the skull. No stripe or anything, so I tried to make them stand more than just have solid black armor.
Yeah I realized I was kinda lazy with some mold lines after priming, especially the heads.
What could I add to the lenses? I've been experimenting with doing more than just leaving them solid red for a little bit
Nathaniel Lopez
Thanks to the anons who helped with removing paint from a model, the wilko paint and varnish remover worked wonders, only issue now is it's looks too cool to repaint, looks like a statue
Chase Roberts
Here's the roll Table I made. It has a roughly logical order, with Chapters I flet could be associated with the 1st Founding ones when there just wasn't enough proper ones to fill in the blanks.
If you find any big problems (apart from the pictures being cropped on top, seems like that happened when converting from word to jpg, will look into it), please do tell. Even if it's a name that isn't in the right place or a number that isn't in the top right corner.
Colton Wood
Better version.
Jayden Mitchell
>tfw 90-00 has all of my favorite chapters
Kevin Sullivan
First models painted after a long haitus. Last box I bought was the battle for black reach.
Any critiques welcome, finding the citadel paints very clumpy and sticky, really hard to get nice clean lines for the highlights. Even after thinning and flow enhancer.
Hudson Jones
For simple red lenses: >red base >nuln wash >red again, leaving nuln in the recesses >orange in the middle >brighter orange towards the front/center And a short step further if you wanna make them glow: >subtle red glaze under the lenses - maybe 2 layers Used that for my Fallen. Quite literally the least amount of work for a decent result.
Bentley Stewart
I think I might have some issues with the undercoat
