WIP - Work In Progress

Ah, I see. To be honest, a lot of my models have this grainy thing going on. Am I priming with a can too close?

...

Grainy is usually spraying too softly, in a too damp or too cold place.

ThisThere many factors. Chrck this video and try if it helps m.youtube.com/watch?v=nCenxgOW-fs

Íts going to be so sweet

Missus sent me to upstairs to make myself a hobbycorner. Just made the shelf for paints. Still need a cabinet or two and it's starting to be pretty good.

What does everyone else's workstations look like?

dont lie lad thats ur shed

Why would I ever lie on the internet?

That's a very nice hobby corner. Mine is just my everyday desk with hobby stuff pushed to the back and brought to the front when I'm painting.

Started to do the matching in join me and roll if you want to

My gorkamorka mob is coming along nicely, quite happy with the little goblin mek, can't wait to get him painted.

Tried something new and attempted marble stormcast. First model i tried to kinda freehand and wing the whole thing. Any comments and tips to improve??

How does this work?

Thank you for your effort sants user but it is not really that exciting to see t,random numbers to match other numbers. Even with the context there isnt much to discuss really.

It would be great if you can give us a participant by country numbers after you finish matching though.

>he is allowed to paint in his cuckshed

No it really isnt.
Will post statistics when im done.

paints used?

>missus

You need to go back

I CAN'T FUCKING WAIT

...

Wanted to say thank you again to the secret Santa user that put me on the list even though I can't send anything. /wip/ is truly the best thread on this or any other board.

the hype is real

hey /wip/ im converting an sr-20 blackhawk model for my orks, and i wanna turn it into a burna bomba, as of right now the only thing i have to add to it are four missile's from a stompa, what is the best source for orky metal looking bits, and loads of dakka, and flamers.

Just got the address to send my stuff to. Thanks, secret santa user.

Me too, oh boy, here we goooo!

I started sending out matches, but have to leave now and can only continue sunday/monday. So don't worry if you didnt get your match yet, it will come!

Help me, /wip/. Every time I paint I few models I fall in love with a new colourscheme. How do I stop this insanity?

Same here!

Whats the countries that signed in this year?

And how many people signed in?

Not Santa user, but I remember a post mentioning around 150 participants, mainly from North American and Europe. I think there was one SEA user too.
WOO EXCITEMENT

...

SEA?
Like an user that lives in a boat?

I kinda want the SEA user because I could 2day delivery my gift to him for like $15 through work...

South East Asia

>mfw I got my match
>mfw based on the geographical location I may need to change some of the contents of my gift

Yeah I was gonna send the guy a Christmas ham, but seeing as he's from Germany, odds are I'd get beheaded for it.

Keep /pol/ out of wip
40kg is where you wanna go for that

Fudge, what was it?

South America has at least one user too.

Nothing major but it'd be the equivalent of sending an Italian some spaghetti

I want to paint my Vostroyans like this. Any suggestions on what colours to use?

I found this pic in the back of White Dwarf 318, it mentions the White Dwarf Online for that month had an article on painting these bad boys up in a bunch of ways (including this one).

I assume this is just one of those hobby articles that's lost to the internet? Anyone know if a White Dwarf Online archive exists or something slimier?

>tfw no workstation
I've had to move in with my in-laws while we try to buy a house but it had issues so we moved on to another house, now our survey has come back from the second house and it's got issues too. The only time I get to paint is occasionally at my parents' house. It's been over 2 months now and there's no light at the end of the tunnel. At least I have 2 weeks off over Christmas, gonna go help my dad make a bunch of 15mm scenery.

I'm glad I got someone outside of my country, so I can make up for the quantity of minis with all the fucked up poison candy we have.

What country?
I wouldnt mind myself, but that is maybe just me!

Are you still adding minis?
Are you American?

Should i get worried if i don't have a mail from Santa-user yet? Or is everything still in the works?

(to clarify, i got a confirmation that he has my address, but i did not get my match)

Its Fine, you should get one till monday.
I know, the hype is hard to container.

Looks like the default scheme with Space Wolves colors instead of red.
So in modern terms that would be Russ Grey and Fenrisian Grey I guess.

I know you can find a lot of the old Black Gobbo content, i.e. stuff by the american online team via the wayback machine, but oddly enough I don't remember ever visiting the white dwarf online thing. I'm looking at #318 right now too btw amd I don't think I even heard of it before now

Maybe GW didn't promote that outside of England. Kind of weird.

Where's the mega with the codex pdfs?

try the 40k general
Looking in the correct thread generally yields better results.

Jesus i'm an idiot

I fucked up his face when coloring it

Yeah, i was kind of leaning towards the Space Wolf colours too, but i dunno - the Vostroyan's cloth looks a bit darker? Guess i'll just have to paint a test on and go from there. Cheers dude!

Unfortunately Wayback Machine didn't have any results. Wording's kind of weird, i'm not sure if White Dwarf Online was just a rink-dink newsletter or something more substantial. It's a shame - if it was the former i'd love to have a look over at that stuff.

where (if anywhere) am i supposed to put the markings on a DW dred?

is that deathwatch or deathwing?

Deathwatch

Would anyone recommend the Scalecolor NMM set for painting NMM? What Vallejo/Citadel paints would make good substitution? My LGS carries them so they are easier to get.

Forgot pic

>Deathwatch

Hmmm... are you using the kit that came with Death Masque? That's just the bog-standard Venerable Dreadnought. What's funny is that the photographs of him in the included campaign book (pic related) show Nihilus having Deathwatch markings on his sarcophagus, and you do get the bitz to make this happen (they're on the DW upgrade sprue), but the actual assembly instructions in the box are just the regular Venerable Dreadnought ones - they don't say how the conversion to Nihilus is to be achieved.

kind of a tricky question.
Afaik Deathwatch dudesmen are only on temporary assignment generally before they return to their chapter.
I found a reference in Rites of Battle from the RPG to them though. Pp110-113 describe them in game and fluff terms. As far as I can tell they don't even mention markings though.

If in doubt you can go either two way imo: do what the other guys in the DW do, i.e. just paint everything but the chapter iconography black and do one are in silver or look through codex ultramarines from 2nd edition or insignium astartes and go with codex markings. I don't think you'll need to add company marking and number necessarily though.

The Deathwatch RPG has a picture at least.

Leave the old bygone methods aside.

OK, so Nihilus is a Blackshield, which means he's going to stay with the Deathwatch until he dies, and displays neither personal heraldry not home chapter markings. The illustration in shows the chapter markings on the right armour panel, while the rest of the paint job is 100% Deathwatch. Seems like a good guideline. Here're the Codex markings from Second Edition.

Warp spiders from Wargame Exclusive arrived today, this is actually the best resin I've ever seen. It's plastic tier, zero holes, zero warping, zero messed up detail you have to fix with greenstuff, just a little bit of flash and some casting leftovers and that's it.

Fucking incredible, wish Games "spend more time repairing the model than painting it" Workshop would do resin as well as this small independent retailer from the goddamn ukraine.

Question,

I want to make a acidy/toxic base, similar to those.

I did it by using PVA glue and dropping super glue into it, then letting it dry.

After that I use washes to paint them, but mine are rather dull. How do i make them more shiny like this, so it actually looks like liquid/slime?

fuark they look mint

desu GW's finecast models have been the worst resin models I've ever bought from anyone.
Even my limited amount of FW purchases had bubbles in them.

Almost every smaller outfit that I bought from had better quality or quality control.

>hasn't gotten a match yet

Fug, was I supposed to roll on that one thread?

>How do i make them more shiny like this, so it actually looks like liquid/slime?

Seal them with 'Ardcoat?

gloss if you want more shinyness, actual inks or candycoats if you need more saturation

Ty for the help user's

Great sculpts too, way better than the 2nd edition warp spiders GW still sell

Yeah, building this Eldar army has really given me a dislike for GWs resin.

>the goddamn ukraine

Ukraine is game to you?!?

I don't have a workstation per se, I just paint at my desk.

Me personally I like to mix the paint or even just food dye with rubber cement or hot glue (because it's clearish unlike the bright blue PVC glue and takes the colors better) when it dries you can see the waves of color and looks much more organic than just painting the dried glue.

It's ok. I read the 40k general for 20 minutes wondering why it was so cancerous, thinking it was /wip/

They look like complete dog shit. They don't hold a candle to Jes Goodwin's classic sculpts.

They have Dr. Pepper in Finland?

These dudes looked fucking incredible 20 years ago, but they're just stunted and chunky today, all the 1st and 2nd edition sculpts look really out of place when your army is on the table because they have a completely different style to your other models.

I dig it. What kind of lamp is that?

Yes? There are multiple bottling plants that bottle Dr. Pepper here. That particular can is imported from the US, though.

No, Santa-user hasn't finished sending out all matches yet, he had time today, and then Sunday and Monday, so if you haven't received a match yet, you likely will once he gets back home.

I've heard good things about painting NMM with Scale75 paints, as they dry a little slow compared to most miniature paint brands, making blending relatively easy to do.

Just some plain old long lightbulb lamp I found in the closet. Works fine even not being used for 10 years

those look really good, have fun painting them user.

Not a fan of the titplate and dooku-hat but WGE paintjobs do look awful being shitty shoops and all.

Why not ... both! I could totally see this model leading mold old metal Warp Spider squad.

>That particular can is imported from the US, though.

I figured it must be, since it refers to the South East Conference (SEC), and I was excited that you might be here in Texas (we have plenty of Dr. Pepper, including a museum for it down in Waco), but then I tried to decipher the words on the books, and it made my brain hurt.

I spent some time in Jakarta, Indonesia, years ago. It was interesting because all the signs have Bahasa Indonesia written on them with the Roman alphabet. So, the actual *letters* are familiar, but none of the words they make are sensible. I hear that's the case with words in dreams.

sure it's not a flourescent?

Overall the paint scheme is nice, but the 'marble' looks.. I don't know... runny? somehow. I feel that traditional marble is much more spidery.

Secret santa all packed, can't wait till monday to ship it, I just hope the user posts opening photos.
