I had visions of a glorious dawn banner and tried to make one. Put the first coat down so far, should I keep going or start over?

Guard?

What army are you painting user?
Evan Powell
Now that I had a few days to sit down, I was able to slap together the 3d-printed terrain I had been working on. I actually needed to cut a new base out for the Path to Enlightenment, since the one I ordered ended up being too small. Luckily the tools and material were cheap, and everything turned out well. The Path to Enlightenment is not a perfect 1-1 representation due to freecad limitations and the limits of my own skill, but it gets the point across. 7"x7" base, and it fits almost perfectly.
Christopher Robinson
So long as the middle bits get cleaned up as you go, I really like the colors so far. Just too much grey in between the colors, but as I've never painted something like this I don't know if that's normal at this point or not.
Josiah Taylor
look to
Blake Green
And finally the Plasma Generator. The acrylic rod in the center looks a lot brighter blue when light is shining directly into it. It was the best I could do since I couldn't find a perfectly teal/turquoise transparent acrylic rod. Not a 1-1 representation once again, but it's clear what it is, at least. I think some of the sizing regarding the base compared to the top may be a bit off, but it looks close enough. I was looking forward to this one most of all. Maybe I'll make another one day, to have two or three. Unlike the other one, I can actually use these as Haemotrope reactors, since the people at the local store look at you funny if you suggest custom rules.
Daniel Hall
Aside from sanding what else are you using to finish the prints?
Jacob Phillips
Rate my Bullgryn, was the first time ive got eyes done correctly.
All other times i've tried its made them look like they just witnessed their best friend get turned into a cloud of red mist.
Kevin Kelly
We doing r8s now? Fuck my shit up,Veeky Forums
The unlabeled ones are from the basic gw modeling kit.
Gavin Miller
...
Brandon Evans
Needs wash
Ian Ramirez
I tried sanding it, actually. The material is quite tough, and wasn't taking to it well. Low grit sandpaper was just scratching and damaging them, while high grit wasn't having much of an effect at all. I actually got most of the layers out, but some were either too tough or in too small a place to sand down. I don't like some of the layers that got through, but it used to be far worse.
David King
on everything or the armour? because i have done a light wash on the pants with some deeper recess shading
Oliver Campbell
>phoneposter >tripfag >unthinned paints
Everything checks out, does it come as a package?
Jaxon Butler
additionally the lighting i have is not very kind, and by not very kind i mean its a computer screen on a white webpage.
Cooper Scott
Ultramarines/10
Anthony Richardson
If you want the armor to look newer, then only on the skin.
Daniel Fisher
what do you recommend? some light Agrax or reikland over it all, because i have done some deeper reikland shading, but it does not show up well, but its enough to easily define the muscle
Isaac Howard
You did a good job. I figured you were using some of that filler goop they sell to smooth them out.
Lincoln Peterson
Has anyone tried shading Ultramarines/Crimson fists/any blue chapter with Drakenhoff Nightshade or another deep blue, rather than Nuln oil? Want to see how it looks, but I don't want to spend $10 on a shader I'll never use again if it doesn't look good.
Tyler Bennett
Literally what does this even do?
Owen Murphy
show me that guard with that big ol gun
Julian Peterson
CRISP
Kevin Kelly
>Do not use the side of my shoulderpad as a step lol k
Bentley Hall
thins paint color without ruining the consistancy, because its just paint without pigment
Josiah Roberts
Literally google Lahmian and choose the first result
Adrian Bennett
Filler goop? What is this? I'm still new to getting stuff sent out for 3d printing, so anything that gets rid of those fucking ridges sounds helpful.
Nathaniel Mitchell
its my first ever conversion, done around july of last year, after being in the hobby only like, 4 months. its a heavy stubber off of a stormlord kit since i built it as a baneblade.
made him since the local GW manager runs a loyalty point system and makes custom datasheets for loyalty points.
Hunter Hall
kinda reminds me of the marines from aliens with those guns on the harness's. i dig it
Ryan James
i originally planned for the squad to be done up in a kinda Starship Troopers colourscheme.So this dude is of course called Rico.
I ordered some but don't have it yet so can't vouch for how well it works.
Jacob Ramirez
If the person who painted this guy is around, what colors did you use for the armor? I really like this shade of pale earthy green.
Nolan Turner
In absolute absence of Ogryn Camo, what would be an adeguate alternative for highlight the plague marines?
Evan Williams
Scored 40 shootas off ebay, ork army getting nearly done now
Zachary Lewis
GW knew what they were doing. Look at the gun for christ's sake.
I know what must be done.
Henry Mitchell
>DIE DIE DIE
Hunter Ortiz
GW ripping blizzard off, the irony.
Landon Phillips
>Hazard stripes are also on the trim
Charles Lewis
thats clearly the lawmaker gun from judge dredd. come on guys
Aaron Robinson
Winsor & Newton Series 7 users, do you use the normal or miniature versions? Which sizes do you use and for what task?
Matthew Lewis
I use Nurgling Green.
Christopher Parker
I prefer the normal sized versions, size 2 for basecoating, size 1 for literally everything else
Connor Jackson
Looks like Steel Legion Drab with Agrax Earthshade to me
Evan Edwards
I'm contemplating calling the number for customer support
Lincoln Jenkins
Alright thanks. I'm getting the vibe that a 1,2, and 3 will do pretty much everything I'll need including large model painting. But I think I'd be even fine with just a 1 and 2. Do you think I'd need anything in particular for T'au models?
Ryder Ross
is the new GW sculptor a blizzard fanboy or something? all the new primaris shit looks like it was stolen straight from starcraft 2
Adrian Young
No it isnt, the golden parts are painted over.
Luis Taylor
My 7th guard
Jackson Evans
Another one
Ryan Flores
What the fuck are these... Who thought this was ok.
Robert Hernandez
>click pic expecting THICC >see tallboyz

James Cooper

Christopher Moore
pretty good, needs some highlights on the armor and maybe on the most raised parts of the fatigues. Otherwise they're coming along nicely.
Benjamin Fisher
tips for putting down gold easily?
Adam Smith
let go of your hand slowly and gently place it on your surface of choice
Eli Gray
Anybody wanna share their Sylvaneth armies for inspiration?
Cameron Sanders
Thanks lad. Any suggestion for the paints I should use for those highlights ?
Austin Wright
For real though
Anthony Cruz
I basecoat any area i'm painting with brown and then work up from that. Retributor Armour is a decent paint for working on gold apparently, I've never used it so I can't comment
I've not done much but here's my sylvaneth
Jacob Williams
Ushabti bone for the fatigues, and maybe Eshin grey on the edges of the armor. I use London Grey from the Vallejo paint line for edge highlighting my black, so I don't know if you wanted GW paints or not.
Parker Richardson
What exactly do you mean by put down?
I apply it like any other paint and it works fine.
Wyatt Brown
Brown? Really?
Jason Garcia
It's a neutral color that works better than grey with warmer colors.
Michael Baker
Most gold paints contain red which works well with brown.
Kayden Morgan
I learned a thing.
Lincoln Lewis
Obviously it isnt done yet you double nigger
Oliver Morris
Damn that's looking good
Easton Rodriguez
My friend is giving me pic related, and I'm thinking about converting them into Incubi. Any thoughts?
Christian Edwards
I'll try that. I use GW stuff because I don't really know other brands. What are the advantages ?
Andrew Bennett
there was no indication of you not being done with that post. All you said was "Crisp"
Also, obviously it's not done, if someone came up to me with this and said it was done I would tell them that they are very wrong, and to get back to work.
Alexander Reed
price
Adam Martin
Like I would go through all that trouble to mask all the stripes out and airbrush everything then just leave the trim all fucked
Lucas Hill
After getting this guy's box the day it came out I just painted him, and now I want to start an Eldar army just to use him this model is sexy. The closeup makes the paint look a bit thick but it's better irl, it was done pretty thinly
Jonathan Morris
you're the one who called it Crisp
Samuel Long
I meant the hazard stripes
crisp doesnt really indicate a level of doneness
Christian Cooper
>you can tell from the way I use my walk I'm a woman's man, no time to talk
Jackson Williams
It also doesn't indicate an implication to move forward. A vague statement on the internet will never bring across your full intentions, so you should always be prepared for people to misinterpret it.
Evan Thompson
i always marvel at how detailed that mini mini-marine is.
Wyatt Williams
which one?
Jayden Moore
no one noticed that the 2 shoulder pads are on the same side?
Chase Mitchell
That was on purpose so I could have both hazard stripes and an aquila transfer facing forward
Jaxson Ortiz
Progress on thunderbolt. Converted missing pieces and put plasticard in for Windows as I'm missing the cockpit. I'm using old fleshwash ink to match the rest of the army, and using grey for the underside. Wondering what kind of insignia and markings to put on it. Sorry for big pic
Dominic Moore
Kind of flat, needs highlighting but otherwise coming along nicely.
Leo Gonzalez
Grey underside needs cleaning up, wash got a little out of control
Nathan Cook
Still needs details. Previous paintjob refused the simplegreen treatment so I just said fuck it and resprayed in army painter desert yellow
William Jones
Nice, getting that Afrika Korps vibe
Aaron Taylor
so why make 2 right shoulder pads?
Luis Nguyen
the one in hand. because he would've had to affix it without damaging it.
Grayson Roberts
That's photoshopped in
Asher Harris
This is the original image
Asher Taylor
i've seen both, and my point remains the same
Adam Ross
I'm not sure what the scale is but it looks like whoever made it put a lot of effort into it.
Parker Torres
Those are some hype sylvs. How'd you do that bark? Basecoat of black then coral white with some nuln oil?
Kayden Robinson
i still haven't found the original without the radio photo shopped in.
Jayden Cooper
Part of my Tallarn/solar aux force. Glad you like it, been rocking that camo scheme for over a decade
Nathaniel Hall
rakarth flesh base, agrax wash and then I use many many coats of P3 Menoth white highlight
