I finished this guy last week. I posted him on the gunpla general in /m/, but looks like they are not really interested in the "painting" thing and went unnoticed. Smaller thing I ever painted.
Also, some months ago some annons asked me for a place to see other things I have been posting here from time to time. I finally made an Instagram some days ago and I'm posting a photo every day since then: instagram.com/magdarium/
Jason Morris
Back. He's from the size of a keyboard key; I used a 000 W&N brush during all the process.
Levi Wood
hot damn sonny that is really small, not even half a marine
looks pretty impressive for this size
Luis Moore
noice
Leo Peterson
d'awww. I want one.
Leo Martin
haven't pained in about 8 years, if I were to get back into it what should I start with (Space Marine wise) some Primaris? or manlet marines?
Thomas Morgan
I remember the Dreamer you painted for Malifaux. Pretty fucking amazing.
Jace Garcia
Hot damn, user. That's impressive- you managed to even paint eyes on that beyond just dots. Is the Euro cent close to the size of a penny?
Any techniques or advice for someone looking to start painting 10mm miniatures? I'm so used to the 25mm scale.
Angel Wood
So i painted myelf up a manlet to get a idea on what my rubric marines would look like when i paint them up like the ideas i had.
What do you think of that scheme? Too boring?
Benjamin Rodriguez
thin yer paints
Leo Wilson
Your painting skills aside it's not a bad colour scheme, but I'd maybe replace the gold with a metallic blue if you can get some
Jason Peterson
Does somebody here already tried to buy/paint a plastic Hero Forge model ?
Planning to order pic related has my low level Cleric.
Julian Johnson
is there a decent way to do this pattern by hand? I tried a few methods but they all look like shit
Connor Walker
No flawless host painting guide .... awww nuts
Landon Rivera
get good
Jacob Torres
reposting, because this guy just came out right
Nathaniel Morales
>Planning to order pic related has my low level Cleric. I don't want to rain on your parade, but that looks pretty basic. It's a bit hodgepodge in terms of eqipment, but you could probably get a mini with sallet and club from a bunch of different historical manufacturers for a fraction of the cost.
Can't really comment on the quality of the minis, but people buy custom bits for 40k all the time. I've seen some things printed in ultra frosted detail that looked nearly indistinguishable from the plastic bits after a bit of prepping. So it seems the print quality has gone up and if you put in some elbowgrease yourself it's a decent deal.
Brandon Taylor
nice one user. Good job !
Nathan Sanchez
I still need to drybrush the base.
Cooper Powell
Why does mobile rotate the image wrong?
Noah James
...
Colton Bell
Hello.
Adam Morris
...
Ryder Martinez
decent paint scheme but pretty bad paint job, im guessing you may have rushed a bit since it's a test model.
Daniel Ward
I do checkers a lot which is similar to this and I sort of just use a thin brush and lot's of redos. I heard scoring the plastic with an exacto knife in the pattern you want can make it easier though but I have yet to try that.
Jose Price
Thanks for the input, this character is basic because I like to play humble guys. But what I like about Hero Forge is that I can make all kind of characters. One of my friends' playing a paladin halflling equipped with an axe and a tower shield of her size, this is hard to find something like that in bits I guess, but I'll still look into that, thanks.
Luis White
An attempt was made... I think I can get this to look good enough with more time. I used a ruler to put down strokes at equal distance, then just filled them in. I expected my jittery hands to be a big issue but you can work around it.
Brandon Hill
That's a pretty good start, should look nice with another coat. Why not use masking tape to block out the bits you want to paint red?
Cooper Lopez
Pretty decent, just get rid of the bigger mistakes with a tiny brush and fill in the red a bit but dont do too much more or else you could mess up.
Dominic Russell
I tried with tape, but any raised surfaces make that a bit of a pain to deal with. I guess this also is a good way train a steady hand.
Landon Davis
Picture is shit I know, but a little proof of concept. Regular marines are Primaris sized when put on Terminator legs.
Dominic Morris
in general, which army do you think is harder to paint?
>bright edge highlighting, gemstones, talismans, and trinkets vs >dark edge highlighting, flayed skin, gemstones, trinkets, skulls
Kayden Smith
There are easy to paint schemes for both. You can also make it easier for yourself by only using washes and going for a gritty, weathered look.
Don't do what's easy, go with which one you like better.
Tyler Williams
I'm talking as a general rule. I was having a disagreement with a friend of mine over which army is more difficult if you're putting effort into them.
Jeremiah Lee
Finally finished my core set squadrons for star wars armada. Some ships look better than others because as time went on I cared less. Still don't feel prepared to paint the slave 1 though b/c that one needs too look good.
Anthony Watson
Then you are both fools. It's as easy or as hard as you want to make it for yourself. If you paint either on a golden demon level it's gonna be pretty hard either way. If you just slob the tournament legal 3 paint minimum on it's gonna be easy.
It's a pretty pointless argument.
Luis Thomas
I mean obviously, but for example, no matter how much effort you put into a space marine, eldar and tyranid units are generally harder to paint.
OBVIOUSLY, if you just throw a few colours on the average model, it'll be easy, but when it comes down to it, eldar and dark eldar both have different layers of complexity when you actually put forth the effort to fill in the details on the models.
Ryan Walker
>tyranids hard to paint
Eli Ward
>eldar and tyranid units are generally harder to paint. That's wrong though. Take any Space Wolf character who is gonna be covered in pointless greebles and a regular Eldar Guardian. Either was Eldar and Space marines are basically the same, just smooth armor and the occasional bare head. I don't see how that makes any sense. And Tyranids are easy to paint too.
Seriously how does that even compute?
I'm just gonna say it again: I depends on how much work you put into a paintjob.
If you two got an argument about who's had it harder painting his plastic men, I think you got other issues. I may be a cynical ass, but this is some inane bullshit to argue about. It's not a fucking math equation with only one right answer here.
Christopher Rodriguez
harder than marines.
Eli Jones
actually, neither of us play craftworlder.
Ayden Hughes
Then why the fuck are you even arguing?
Rhetorical question I don't even wanna know.
Wyatt Howard
so which faction is actually hardest to paint?
Jonathan Lopez
it started with my groaning at how ugly some space marine paint schemes(specifically, those hideous quartered off schemes) looked. He said it was just extra challenge for painters, and I suggested they just play another army.
it kinda spun off from there.
Lucas Robinson
...
Owen Lewis
Nice Gundam dude!
Nolan Sanchez
Some user(s) posted few heroforge pieces a while ago, all had very visible print-layers. Never got an answer on the print-quality they used, but those would've required lot of sanding/smoothing.
Isaac Martin
>hideous quartered off schemes >Shitting up the thread arguing about which army is harder to paint Please leave and never come back. At least post your shit paint jobs if you're desperate for inane conversation.
Dominic Rivera
REMINDER: If you have horrors and don't greenstuff over the eyes, you are a fagget
Logan Garcia
Reposting because no replies last time.
Does this guy look enough for a Captain/Praetor? I feel like he might be lacking something.
Julian Martin
I like to have both mixed
goddamn im still a bloody begginer
Zachary Gomez
Please tell me you are stripping that paintjob.
Dominic White
add a cape, everyone loves capes
Angel Reed
Hi user, do you remember the color of the model ?
Justin Cruz
If you want hobby stuff for gunpla, go to /toy/'s threads instead of /m/.
Parker Ortiz
>starting a new conversion >relatively inexperienced >project currently glued together awfully awaiting greenstuff to fill gaps and make tentacles >tool for rolling tentacle patterns in the mail
I just want to be able to start filling gaps and making details so I can gauge how retarded I am for deciding to do this.
Lincoln Watson
No.
Robert Carter
Primaris captain but with giant axe based on the deathwatch thunderhammer.
Yes/no?
Owen Gray
You guys seem to know a bit about his, so it seems to be an opportune moment to ask about.
I know there are detailing kits for these kind of kits, fans, air vents and other mechanical details on a sprue so you can add detail to your Gundams.
What are these things called?
I thought maybe it could be a useful thing for making sci-fi scenery, but I have a hard time finding anything I'm looking for. The market for these things is huge and I don't know what terms to search for.
Gavin Fisher
it looks awful, the paint looks too thick and you've not got an even coat, also please tell me you're not painting straight onto unprimed resin
Caleb Bennett
Found a bunch of my old paints, dumped the dead ones, and plan on revitalizing the rest.
What do they call 'Vermin Fur' nowadays? I need to go paint-shopping.
Dylan King
Depends, which generation you are talking about. The hex bottle with white round cap? The old, old one? That's a brown. GW currently makes a stormvermin fur that is a grey. They also used to do a vermin brown at one point that was similar to vermin fur. That was similar to Vomit Brown that was the generation with the stout hexpots with black cap. The Vomit brown equivalent from VGC is Filthy Brown and the GW name is Tau Light Ochre, althrough the TLO one is not a close match I think.
So, I guess your best bet would be Filthy Brown from Vallejo Game Color?
Jonathan Nelson
Build the other four, tomorrow will be fixing minor things and gs work.
Brody Scott
Is it that Greenstuff World set of grilles and guide bars? Got one, it's very useful for smaller wires and hoses and such for my Admech, but don't try really long cables with it, since it doesn't like having to roll things in sections and is generally really fiddly. What are you converting? Def. best part of WIP projects, the actual painting can be boring at times.
Joseph Diaz
>triggering neckbeards More like triggering anyone with good taste Those look terrible
Carter Hall
I recall one dark grey, rest were already butchered by paintjobs (but with similar print-layers showing).
Carter Edwards
the lower legs look way out of proportion
top row 3rd, is the best one since the large out of proportion shoulder armour at least balances out the lower legs
top row 4th looks wildly imbalanced
Lucas Garcia
Ace. Where I could find some similar pilots?
Jonathan Johnson
Does anyone have any imperial knights that they're working on? I can't get one yet so I want to soothe my itch by seeing someone else's
Chase Morales
I for one like the bulkiness, paintjob will tell whats what.
Henry Smith
This is the first model I'm somewhat happy with. No wash has been applies, and I haven't tried edge highlighting yet. Picture quality isn't great, only have my phone camera.
Dominic Wood
Lmao what the fuck
Gabriel Morales
Yes.
Also I should point out he's obviously not finished, not even assembled, I just blue-tacked him together for that photo.
Lucas Cooper
What am I even looking at here?
Evan Peterson
Triggerings were had. Just do your models the way you like them, I'm actually enjoying how they're turning out.
Feels good to see something else than space marine #61326 with texture paint base and edge highlights.
Easton Ward
but what are they user
Michael Cox
Yeah, but the bulkiness is uneven and it looks retarded >gigantic hands and feet with a tiny ass torso
Joshua Garcia
Holestly the only thing that really bothers me on these is that they're nurgle shitters and that you didn't use other heads or sculpted hair onto them.
Also clean up your chop-marks where you removed the topknots. those look shitty.
consider some small sandpaper for smoothing out the pauldrons as well.
Austin Perry
Chaos hellwright on dark abeyant conversion. Not using it for big cables, really. The biggest thing I'm probably going to have trouble with is massing cables at the base for "legs" like in pic related. Otherwise there are just a few portions where I'm not sure how to join pieces. Haven't done much work with greenstuff, but I'm hoping I can fashion a handle for a lance out of it for this, too.
Aiden Howard
I don't give a shit that they're girls, I just can't stand that Warcraft/Darksiders FUCKHUEG feet
Also your 'triggered! XD' attitude is reprehensible
Ryan Cook
You can wrap the greenstuff around copper wire and use the molding plates on it. Wait for it to cure some (enough to not take fingerprints) then bend them as needed.
Brayden Reed
How did you achieve that yellow color?
Parker Walker
Its just averland sunset.
Ryan Brooks
Thanks user.
Oliver Hernandez
Yeah, I got mine for DarkMech too. Mostly for joining conversion bitz together and adding detail to things, works well.
Somehow I did not think of that, I'll totally use that in future. TY user, will make adding greenstuff cables to my DarkMech Archmagos with metal body a lot easier.
Caleb Sanders
Ooooh don't worry user. My first green stuff project (right now) is a girlyman conversion into a chaos lord. I gave him a talberd and a Kanabo instead of emperor's sword. It will turn out okay if you just don't rush it! You have tools for the tentacles too so it will be just fine. It looks good in my head, the more important part is if you can make it look good based on your imagination. I'd say go for it. >Picture quality isn't great, only have my phone camera. >5248x2952 It's alright but work on the shoulder pads a bit more.
Justin Fisher
what the actual fuck? is this what happens when you cut before bulking?
Austin Fisher
I never got the demand for female space marines. Space marines (chaos included) are fucking boring. Make a female guard regiment or something.
Jacob Cox
not quite my thing, but I am pleased to see you enjoy working with your models in a way that satisfies you, user!
Logan Rivera
Not the creator, but I'm more reminded of female reploids from Megaman X.
And there's certainly appeal to them.
Jace Rivera
Space marines are the faction that gets the most attention by a huge margin. Half of anything interesting happens to them.
Ryan Bailey
cape like the other user said
Alexander Wilson
>And there's certainly appeal to them. I'll just leave this here
Jackson Johnson
That is a style I personally like. For tabletop purposes CSM, assuming I would ever get around to playing the game. I felt this way they work better alongside all my Noisemarines (which are normal and boring.) Number 4 issues will be addressed with the base. What did you think I meant with fixing minor things and greenstuff work to be done tomorrow. There is no need to do something about the clipping marks, if I'm putting modeling mass above it anyways. Not sure about filing down the pauldrons though.
Ian Peterson
Add a fancy banner on the power pack.
Nolan Kelly
I appreciate the effort but they're very Black Legion flavored and I hate Abby and his kids.
Also the rerebraces are too thick, or the vambraces too small.
I bet they're metal or resin monopose models, too.
Ayden Hill
