So I recently lost an important part from a a kit I'm building. I found the part fairly cheap from bitsandkits.co.uk though. Is this a reputable/good site? Any other, better bit sites? Preferably ones that do piece by piece and ship to the US fairly quickly.
Colton Cook
OP here, I fucked the youtube links. Apologizes in advance, previous thread linked at bottom has them if you need them.
Easton Evans
I'm running a D&D campaign, and here is my party. From left, a flashy fire genasi wizard, drow rogue, human ranger, firbolg druid, and dragonborn war cleric.
I really like how the druid and the wizard's flames turned out, but the rest I'm mostly happy for the players to have their own mini.
Up next I think I'm going to try some various ogres.
Wyatt Cox
Is it possible to make a black glaze? How would I paint black leaking from sockets that isn't oil?
Henry Turner
everyone seems very shiny, cold do with a dullcoat to lose some of the shine
Oliver Gonzalez
thoughts?
Jose Murphy
WIP btw not finished still needs some more stuff done to the sails and crew and the ram
Cameron Phillips
Other than the rogue, they aren't as shiny as they look. It's just that the lamp I used to light the photo was very close above them. And I'm honestly unsure how the rogue turned out so shiny. I sprayed all of them with Testors Dullcote.
Adam Mitchell
hard to tell from the photo, armor pannels look decent from what i can see
Grayson Lewis
sure, just mix some black paint and lahmian medium together black is a pretty strong pigment though, so go easy on the paint quantity until you're happy
Nicholas Johnson
Starting on the other arm tonight (a grav flux bombard), I'm trying to decide if I want to just leave it completly metallic (a pale gold like the metal circle on his front) or if I should paint all the little nubs and the tip of a barrel a bright glowing green colour
Easton Lewis
Have a question mates. I"m looking to paint the blue area's of these knight's barding, white. I applied one coat of wolf grey already. Should How many layers of grey should I apply before I start on the white coats?
Also because of the brighter colors I primed them grey. But I also want to have some gold, and yellow on these knights, and that looks like absolute rubbish over grey. How should I paint on "hard" colors that don't apply well to grey, like gold, silver, yellow, etc? Should I paint those area's black first, then paint the color that I want?
Ryan Cooper
How does that work? I've never used that before.
Henry Carter
Not the same guy but from what I've heard it's like transparent paint (no, not water, it has the same consistency of texture and paint apparently) so people use it to in with other paints to thin them down to make a lighter glaze/shade of said colour or use it to seal paints.
Kayden Hall
leviathans are so cute! just like boxnaughts
Jace Rivera
totally agree. Leviathans are like the weird hybrid child of the boxnought and the contemptor
Isaac Howard
And it keeps the same color? Like, mixing black to it won't give me a grey?
Ayden Miller
the perfect machine
Camden Howard
>TFW you're doing a commission and someone on Veeky Forums points out a mold line you fucking missed.
I'm just a little bit upset.
Samuel Martin
Yep, keeps the same color but makes it more transparent. To get it to a true glaze level, though, it's really going to take a large amount of lahmian medium relative to black.
Hunter Stewart
the white and a bit of the red (namely that little shield) looks a bit thick and lumpy
Austin Adams
Any help for the questions?
Carson Murphy
Hrm. I'll have to try it out.
Eli Allen
You're going to need a lot stronger grey over the blue if you're trying to prep it for white.
Carter Watson
My bad anons about not making the painting video yet Been pretty busy with life and such Had some time today to paint though so I tried to get in as much as I could but still no where near done
Ian Cox
Looks awesome thus far. Really different.
Jace Clark
Also side note The thing on his back is a deathguard symbol
Granted I know he would not really have a fraction symbol but I thought it'd be kinda neat to do one anyways
Kevin Miller
I use eBay although the non-US sellers take forever.
Julian Torres
Salamander is almost finished.
Brandon Reyes
>So I recently lost an important part from a a kit I'm building.
What bit is it, user? Wouldn't happen to be that little control panel from a Space Marine Interceptor, would it?
Wyatt Campbell
>when you lose a bit so hard it appears at someone else's house
Gavin Perry
Anyone else doing Armies on Parade?
Hudson Baker
Searched Ebay but the bits came in bundles of the parts of said vehicle when I just wanted one piece itself. Ordered from the UK guys, hopefully it won't take too long. 'fraid not, its a front panel on a gork/morkanaut that holds the top of the doors in and also has the skorcha/megagun on it.
Nicholas Perry
no (dont have the patience or money right now) but your board looks cool, what army?
Samuel Taylor
Those look pretty good. Anvil also seems to have some good options aswell. Still deciding on the look for the regiment. I know I want it in a similar style to Steel Legion/Krieg. This would be the first time I've done any converting for models, how do people tend to react to them on the table? No one's gonna throw a fit that my dudes dont have actual lasguns right?
David Turner
I wouldn't layer white straight over that gray, layer it with consistenly lighter shades of gray and leave white as a final highlight , pure white looks pretty shit on a larger surface
Sebastian Cruz
why is it that every person that I've seen shilling their own commissions are really sub par
Landon Stewart
wtf dude This is honestly worse than me and I just started Use a smaller brush for your washes
Jack Johnson
Oh well this is helpful as fuck
Jonathan Gutierrez
Because the good commissioners are actually raking in huge amounts of money with their amazing paint jobs, so they're either too busy working and painting to shitpost here, and when they're not, they're too tired or busy enjoying their time off to come here.
Grayson Ramirez
Other than the bad paint on the pants, what can I improve on?
keep posting your awesome model user! I like watching it grow and take shape! How did you do the weathering?
Chase Sanchez
Looks cool.
Carson Brown
Thanks, it's been fun to work on and i've ended up taking way more WIP photos than I do with most projects, pic related is my proccess for weathering/chipping. That's a pretty suggestive pose on that guy. I think he needs a bit of touching up , I can see some blue spots on the strap. Maybe another highlight on the teeth as they're a little flat at the moment.
also waiting for washes to dry is so boring
Elijah Lee
Made some decent progress on this guy today. Need to do highlights and I'm thinking about doing a green glaze over most of the body to tie the layers together. Eventually I want to do water effects on the base but that's a ways off.
Thomas Moore
I'm not but best of luck.
Elijah James
What are YOU working on?
Getting the lighter blue into all the crevices is annoying especially with my brushes being all frayed.
Chase Wilson
I'm always concerned about the logistics of transporting big display boards like that, I just know I'd end up breaking them.
Jose Miller
thanks for the help! I'll fix up the belt and pants asap
also thanks for the pic for weathering! I wanted to try it on my goliath when I feel brave enough to paint it
Tyler Davis
I'm at work looking for reasons not to kill myself. Hopefully I have motivation to work on some dudes when I get home, though I doubt it. We're on a solid 7 week streak here.
Wyatt Baker
Has anyone here used high quality artists acrylics like Schmincke or Golden for miniature painting? I've seen Schmincke Titaniam White recommend a few times.
Gabriel Morales
I am legit starting to hate this fucking hobby.
Just look at this shit. Remember how awesome the 80s were? Cool dragons, sneaky goblins, fucking chimeras.
Nah, it's too profitable to be cool any more. LOOK AT MY BEEF FLAPS AND WORSHIP EL CUNTOR
Jaxon Taylor
>model is on script bottle Kek
Legit though, I could see that as a Malal daemon
Jordan Bailey
Thanks! I may then do Ash Grey as my next layer..
Lincoln Roberts
feminist get away from my hobby.
Noah Lewis
>left hand is still out of commission >can't hold models because of the bandage >suck painting right handed >nids are even further behind Fuck
Dylan James
Hey /wip/
What's a good, dark blue GW paint? I'm looking for something similar to the trim on pic related. I was using Necron Abyss on my Tyranids, but it finally ran out. Everyone told me Kantor Blue was the replacement, but it isn't nearly dark enough, and barely shows up on the Macragge Blue carapace of my bugs. So, what's the next darkest blue then?
Mason Moore
Dip them faggot
Brandon Davis
I would bin them before I dipped them.
Nathan Rodriguez
Getting my Beyond Icestorm minis painted up, gonne finsih up the guy on the right and detail their bases a bit more.
Gabriel Wilson
Ahoy there, /wip/
Does anyone happen to know of a good source for gear/cog-shaped shields for 28mm? For the life of me, I can't seem to find anything. I'd absolutely be delighted if they were eight-toothed gears, though I could probably deal with something else. Just looking for nice simple gear-shaped shields.
Asher Roberts
Doesn't that magic can of shit that Army Painter sell actually work nicely at turning one-note white much more realistic without dealing with layering white over light gray over soft grey over grey?
Elijah Turner
I can guarantee that guy doesn't field that.
Matthew Carter
>Guy
It's either a tranny or a woman. Most likely an ugly woman.
Charles Rogers
That's what you get for being a left-handed witch.
Robert Smith
Doing up my Legio XIII team for Arena Rex, how do you guys like the purple?
Jordan Martinez
lol, I like your choice of words in describing it as a can of shit, but it works well... What product is it? Got a name? is spray or wash or something?
Adrian Perry
>What are YOU working on? Building an Ironclad for my Mino's. Figure they could use a bit of oomph. Plus, haven't painted a boxnaught since the early 2000's, so excited to start. God bless bartertown - it has made picking up SM models super easy lately, and at decent prices.
Chase Bell
Army Painter quickshade. It's just a straight up can that you dunk models in, flick 'em thrice, and let 'em dry.
Nolan Davis
Incubi Darkness is quite dark. The website labels it as purple though, but I think it looks pretty blue.
Isaac King
I use Kantor on my night Lords. You can really build up that blue with layers of you want.
Incubi is more green than blue, but it's definitely a teal.
Ethan Gonzalez
I was afraid that's what you were refering to...I had a bad experience with stuff like that..Like I wanted one part of my model to have the shade applied, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to just dunk the whole model...maybe I didn't flick enough of it off...but it came out pretty bad. Why can't I just use a white coating, and then wash it with ink?
Ryder Flores
WTF is a Kantor, and why is it blue?
Adam Richardson
Alright, I'll try multiple layers, and if that doesn't work, I'll go with and give incubi a shot.
Kevin Jackson
>only want one part of the model to have shade applied >apply shade to whole model >are disappointed when it shades the whole model The Army Painter dips are hot garbage but you may be genuinely retarded.
Parker Ward
I'm still amazed by the fact that you're using toothpicks to paint. Can't wait to see more progress and the final unclean one.
Owen Cox
Pedro Kantor is the Chapter Master of the Crimson Fists who wear blue armour.
Can someone tell me where "Agrax" is? It's been bothering me for awhile.
Lucas Morales
So, I'm guessing it's not the magic potion they try to make it out to be? Is it basically just a giant tin of wash, or is it worth it for doing 100+ infantry, or something else?
Bentley Lee
It's just wash + gloss varnish. There's no reason to dip a model unless you don't give a shit about the end result. Applying washes by brush and wicking away any pooling isn't difficult or time consuming.
Jaxson Howard
Don't decide to try free hand for the first time after pairing for 9 hours straight on no sleep.
How do I unfuck this?
Josiah Cruz
Agrax is an old planet.
I don't know if its show up recently or not.
Mason Myers
>How do I unfuck this? Have you tried telling it that you should just stay friends?
Jonathan Gonzalez
I would want a refund
Landon Rivera
Well I've narrowed down what I want my IG Regiment to look like. Just need to figure out which one I want. Thinking about coloring their outfits a greyish blue similar to spacewolves. Thoughts? The Green will be protected
Leo Carter
I like 1 and 3, personally.
Connor Myers
Ushankas or you are a confirmed softdick.
Chase Wood
Looking pretty damn good
Dominic James
So no real advice then? Damn.
Daniel Jones
tonk #3 done, weapons are drying.
Robert Campbell
Working on a Tribune. What do you guys think of the hawk? Is it too big or distracting? I kinda want something to represent the cyber-familiar and the digital weapons the model is equipped with, but I am not yet 100% convinced.
Blake Evans
Just finished this Flashy Git
Carson Gomez
Keeping with the sprues edition somewhat
Does anyone know if the blue on pic related will be affected if I strip off the rubbish paint job I did?
Matthew Gutierrez
good job on the eyes user
Ethan Lopez
From what I see here it seems like you are using plain white scar for your whites, find an alternative, it's a garbage color that can't be propperly worked with.
John Price
That's a really nice paintjob.
Jose Allen
Are there any chapters in 40k that use the heresy Word Bearer colour scheme?
If not, would it be an acceptable homebrew or just scream 'Word Bearers' to everyone?
This scheme would look so good on chadmarines
Colton Ross
First attempt at a snow base. How does it look?
What should I paint the base rim? Black?
Also any ideas what to do with the right shoulderpad? I'd like to keep some of the pink.
Wyatt Phillips
How do I get a perfect 50:50 ratio? I'm trying to mix paint with lahmian medium but I have no idea whether I'll mix too much or too little.
Julian Fisher
The base looks great. Better than the model itself, in fact.
Oliver Reyes
I want to make my Librarian seem more psyker-y by giving him a familiar. What familiar should I get?
