Trying to kitbash a counts-as-Tycho out Captain Artemis. Any opinions so far? This is the first mock-up. Still need to clean him up a whole bunch and test out some other head and arm options.
Adam Miller
Touched up the kneepad, I think i'm a bit happier with the weathering now. At the very least it doesn't look like my leviathans' been rolling around in glitter any more.
Cameron Perry
I think it looks pretty cool, the tank connecting the melta is cool. only thing i'm thinking is maybe make the pistol a bit more ornate

How do you get the look of the fatigues/cloth parts of units like these scouts?
I am putting together my first army, crimson fists also, and don't really know how to get this look of dark fabric.
I have them primed black, will it just be a dark grey, nuln wash, then light grey highlight?
I circle the areas I am talking about
Lucas Reed
anybody have any glue recommendations?
preferably with a good applicator.
Samuel Lee
Yea, basecoat of mechanicus standard grey, black wash then going over the raised bits with mechanicus again, maybe a little bit of administratum grey for highlights. That's how i'd do it anyway.
Noah Martin
Thank you, I appreciate the idea
I might post results if it isn't hot garbage
Liam Jackson
Really nice. I like that you represented his hand.
Henry Taylor
That's right, but I do recommend you consider wet blending for the highlights.
For plastic glue, Mr.hobby's and Tamiya's get the job done.
For superglue, try gorilla super glue and Tamiya's CA Gel glue and accelerator
Lincoln Young
You should drill those barrels.
Camden Hall
>That's right, but I do recommend you consider wet blending for the highlights. I don't know if I am skilled enough for it, does duncan have a good video on it?

Are people giving up entirely on non-Primaris Marines? I want to start a small, but highly YOURDUDES-friendly, Kill-Team.
Dylan Harris
Fuck no. Hellblasters are good, but regular marines are fine
Ryan Bell
I'm just about finished with these death guard but I've always been terrible at base considerations. I figured maybe doing something like one of Duncan's swamp bases or Realm of Nurgle stuff should be fine with Stirland Mud but would any basing experts know what colors would go well with what I got? I was thinking dark brown or black for the mud then those fun pools of nurgle's rot.
Jack Campbell
And second part
Aaron Clark
anything dark would provide some contrast and look pretty good
Jordan Hernandez
Another guardfag for the pile. Emperor bless!
Aaron Bennett
Looks like you've got 90pts
Nice
Logan Reed
Welcome to the Guard Here's your flak jacket, Imperial Infantryman's Uplifting Primer, and wheelbarrow for your giant brass balls
Jace Walker
lol yes that looks much better.
Jacob Jackson
that paint flaking effect is bae
Tyler Reed
The hell is Will Shatner smiling at...
Chase Cook
This hurts my soul. I used to have a decent size army, now I have a small section of a platoon.
Adam Barnes
I don't know why exactly, but these pictures look like they were taken in a game of some sort. The simple textured backdrop, the paint scheme, the camera quality... It's very interesting.
Neat stuff, though, I like it.
Jace Cox
I can see it, the counter they're on looks like the texture from a ps1 game
Adrian Nguyen
Starting some guard? Damn fine choice, trooper - probably the second best army for fun conversions so you best not squander it now. Take your time and make your boys exactly how you want to. Don't be afraid to get down and dirty with a hobby knife, cut up paper clips, and some good ol' green stuff.
I have loved the guard for a long time, these are also my disposable guys actually, going to buy some bits and make a whole custom army, since before my purchase I have been writing a book of lore not just of my guard, but over their planet as well. Trying to make a guard Regiment based of STALKER and metro. I need to go to sleep because I have PT in the morning and it's my first time doing cadence for our run. Though if I come back and anyone's willing I would love to share the lore I'm making for these guys.
But yeah currently handed them off to a Dark Eldar friend for now to assemble and paint. So I can get my constructs finished and he can get some paint experience in.
Bentley Jackson
Aww yea. Scored these guys nib for $5! Can't wait to get paint down on em.
Liam Torres
best gaunts
Xavier Anderson
These 5 dudes are done except for flag, how's it looking? Nob is my favorite model atm, he looks pretty badass
Joseph Myers
Currently working with greenstuff. What paints should I use to get that deep green on the robes?
Logan Stewart
Anyone else paint super slow, not because they're actually slow, but because they never paint every day? It's taken like 2 months for me to finish these 5 bases.
Logan Parker
Need help for flag design also, want to use design on right but unsure how to put that into this weird flag shape, and on both sides
Kayden Ross
If I sit down for a painting sesh that lasts for 3-4 hours i'll be lucky if I get 30 mins of actual painting done, the rest of the time is procrastinating.
Jacob Allen
They're so obviously stolen from Aliens. I don't even own 'nids and I had to buy them.
Michael Howard
That flag looks like the perfect opportunity to have the whole boar in a running pose
Brody Kelly
>unsure how to put that into this weird flag shape do it so the boar head is facing the other way, also you could make a card/paper stencil and just trace the outline to get the same basic shape on both sides.
Ryder Barnes
>want to do Elysians >have always wanted to do Elysians >as far back as 5th edition when I discovered them >expensive as fuck forgeworld only Damn it. I just want to have a bunch dudes drop out of the sky with bullpup lasguns and warthogs, but it's either $45+ for 3-5 dudes, or shitty china on small, spindly models.
Levi Hall
Now get 28 more and you'll have an actual unit. I have a fuckton of old plastic termagants but can't be bothered to even think about using old hormagaunts.
Ayden Lee
That's a good idea, thank you That sounds neat, I think I'd do the boar head facing left and have the neck blend into the tears on the right of the flag so detailing won't be too hard.

Sounds good I'll go for it. Thank you! Thanks man! I'm kinda goofin with the photos right now that's just taken on a granite countertop. One day I'll get a proper light box but for now that's been the usual background on a lot of the pictures.
Jack Peterson
10/10 appraisal.
Wyatt Wilson
Buddy, white dragon is very unhappy bent over grabbing the scenery and blue dragon is on top doing an o face.

Ethan Hernandez
Didn't know what I wanted to do with my last Intercessor, and I really hated the helmetless look of the Sergeant, so I turned him into a Dullahan standing atop a bloody pool of his recent handiwork.
Thinking of adding a sword on the back of his power pack. Should I? And what should this fucker's color scheme be?
Colton Peterson
Slightly different angle
Jace Long
I think go for an old school suit of armour type colour
Evan Walker
Any ideas for a paint scheme?
Landon Anderson
anyone have a rough idea for how long citadel texture paints take to dry?
Nicholas Nelson
It's more of a desaturated green, start from something like Dark Angels green and mix in grey and sand until you find something approximate.
Jacob King
Still getting the hang of this. Built a Librarian with bits I got from a friend of mine.
I'm trying to decide if I should try to freehand some glyphs to make it obvious that it's a Force Sword, but I'm afraid I'll just fuck it up and I think I'm gonna call it done where it is.

Headless Dr. Strange balancing on marine helmets? Why?

A protest to marines not wearing helmets. I fucking hate no helmet marines
Plus I really wanted to practice making a cape out of green stuff. It's... passable
I WILL *NOT* DO A SORRY-ASS JOB AND BRING SHAME UPON THE EMPEROR'S IMPERIAL GUARD!
SOUND OFF!

Ok last update for the night, legs are done and I'll be starting on the main body next.

very characterful, I like him
Logan Foster
thanks user, I need to go over his sunburned ass with some highlights and a coat of cadian flesh on his skin but I pretty happy with the general look.
Oliver Jenkins
I've painted so many guardsmen, but this makes me wanna paint more
Adam Phillips
Do it. For the greater g- the Imperium.
Easton Jenkins
I like that face. How did you do it.
Matthew Rodriguez
Yep. Been working on the Dark Imperium set since it came out. Expecting to finish it next year.
Jose Cox
Anyone have than random space marine chapter chart? Need some chapter colors
Blake Adams
Have you tried googling "random space marine chapter chart"?
Dylan King
Is mournfang brown a good basecoat when painting citadel woods?
Liam Walker
I think I've proven that I need to sleep instead. Good night /wipg/
Eli Turner
depending on the kind of tree you want, Dryad Bark, Mournfang Brown, and Steel Legion Drab are good basecoats for them.
Eli Jones
Ok, I was thinking of using mournfang due to the fact that I am getting it as a basecoat for my brayherds
Ryder Long
Also, what colors should I use after a layer of Mournfang?
Cooper Gomez
This for sure, I've done a million conversions it is good fun.
Even small changes can do a lot. Exhibit A, Painted a few years back.

Revell Contacta Professional has the best bottle design for plastic cement I've found. The cement is pretty standard quality, which is fine so long as you are only bonding HIPS. I've not found a solvent which works on ABS, etc. and comes with an applicator at all.
For superglue, I think gorilla glue gel works OK. You need to give it a good shake to load it into the nozzle before squeezing, but it has a nice thick consistency and seems to dry fairly strong.
Jackson Roberts
Paint em like Saharan Tuareg nomads, blue robes, and mix it up with the turban colour
Michael Baker
>playing an army which is going to get zoated in the next couple of years ISHYGDSDD
Chase Williams
Think it varies depending on the paint, but the crackling soil ones seem to take an hour or two.
William Scott
Despite what cartoons say, most bark isn't a rich, warm brown. It's generally pretty desaturated, almost grey. Seriously, just look at some fucking trees and see what colour they are. I don't understand how people manage to consistently fuck this up.
Brandon Morris
I give em a few hours. It depends how thick you put it on. Solid thick layers will take more than 15-30 minutes to fully dry. The edges and surface might be dry but I've poked at it and had chunks fall off or get wrinkled since the interior was still wet
Lincoln Perry
>tfw it's finally that time of the year when you can prime again for like a month
Dylan Martinez
Do the classic style but give them different head dressings, guns in classic green casings, goblin green bases. DO IT NOW
