 I think I may have figured out the above. Base coat with a darker green, dry brush on some boltgun and chainmail, then drybrush on a mix of brown and orange to taste. For the metallic parts drybrush chainmail back over again so it's more apparent. The gold looks like normal gold that I'll just wash brown or possibly black. I think I'll switch out the blue glowing things for a different color, maybe a bright orange or bright red? What do you guys think?

I can see why you'd go with green as a base and I think you're on the right track, but maybe it would take less effort to prime white and shade down with washes. Paint the skin in a light grey, do metals, basecoat bone and gore and just go to town. Gold is washed with brown and then the same green used for the skin, steel probably just with black and maybe a little green. At least that's the way I'd do the guys. I'd keep the blue glow/metal on the jack because I like the contrast between the that and the rusty metal. Red or orange might blend too much with the hull if you keep the same color scheme.

Good point. I was mostly commenting on the jacks, the mechanitralls (skeleton guys) I'll worry about later and probably just do very pale skin washed with flesh wash and perhaps have the exposed muscles be green instead of just red.

I guess I focused too much on the trooper to jack ratio in the picture  You could probably skip the green basecoat. Just drybrush heavily with metal over black primer, wash with brown/orange/green and then maybe another drybrush. I can't really make out how the layers are applied from the picture but I don't think there's enough green in there to really warrant a separate layer.

I think they look ok on, say, an HQ model but a whole unit/army done that way looks pretty weird to me. The conversions themselves are spot on though. I couldn't bring myself to buy a box of DE just for the cloaks or I'd have done something similar.

I couldn't bring myself to buy a box of DE just for the cloaks or I'd have done something similar. That's the intent: HQ and special people get the "over the top" bases while everyone else gets something a bit more muted. For the cloaks, check out TheWarStore.

Heh, I actually looked at plastic bottles for that part, but came up with nothing. Made it by building up the shape with cardboard, cutting/sanding it down and smoothing it out with filler.

I think they look amazing so far, I'm just not a fan of the tall bases, but even yours aren't too bad. I've seen a chaplain standing on top of a 2 inch tall rock (a real rock)

My GW Vulkan is collecting dust in my nerd closet. I really wish it looked more like the concept art, especially the gauntlet. That conversion is a definite improvement to the stupid stock spear arm.

I think the crazy rock bases look better on terminator style and above. It just looks like there isn't enough room on the normal infantry. It's fitting to have the Salamanders on those particular ones though.

Welp, the rust/vedrigris scheme isn't working out too well so far but I'm going to keep trying with it. I like this scheme a lot also  And it looks simple enough to do. The plates are bleached bone then washed with a very thin coat of badab and perhaps devlan mixed in from what I can tell. I may give this a shot of I'm not satisfied with the green and rust. I never was very good at weathering anyways.

Aargh gently caress. I'm trying to paint the skin on my Oathed Elves and on my Escher gangers and I'm experimenting with different degrees of thinning (I know, like milk... what the gently caress is the consistency of milk  ) and basically don't seem to be able to avoid either a really streaky finish or a really clumpy texture... What am I doing wrong?

dpack_1 posted:Tell that to GW Ah but that stays within the rim. In fact, I'd say that is perfect example of an extravagant base which doesn't look terrible in terms of dimensions. Any base that overlaps the rim all round is a bad base. Oh, and A Thousand Sons by McNeil is surpsisingly quite good.

Only think you should be careful about with whacky bases is that they don't prevent models moving together. It's one of the reasons people don't go crazy in fantasy, because all that poo poo has to rank up at the end of the day. I sometimes wonder if these huge rock bases gently caress with people trying to get into combat or out of a vehicle.

Ashcans posted:I sometimes wonder if these huge rock bases gently caress with people trying to get into combat or out of a vehicle. but its a double-edged sword. so many people do absolutely nothing for their bases, just black plastic covered in paint splotches, and people that care enough to dynamically base their poo poo usually have nice painted armies which are really visually appealing to play against v  v

Pretty nice stuff. frest posted:it can be frustrating when people have those rock bases and it prevents you from actually doing base-to-base contact sometimes, which is kinda a problem I don't play with anyone that's so competitive that they aren't willing to work out a solution with me on any issues that may arrive based on base sizes. That being said, I plan on measuring from the bases themselves, and if I gotta take a few extra template hits, well, more's the pity: I'll be looking fly when I die.  Edit: I may re-base the Helbrecht conversion. That one is a little on the huge side. Thankfully resin cuts easy and is cheap as gently caress.
