Does 40k have an actual scale associated with it? I've heard it's ostensibly 28mm, but that's laughably wrong.

'heroic' scale.. i.e. everything is waaay over exagerated. models are taller. guns are bigger. muscles are huge and rippling.

I mean it's labeled as 28mm because that was/is the general eye-height of your average dude, but the real issue is that nothing is actually scaled properly at all. Heads, hands, and weapons are all too large, vehicles are all too small, there is generally no real coherence between armies (and sometimes even within them, depending on the age of specific sculpts).

I just got done with my first attempt at some flamers  I'm pretty happy with them. e: Also, some multi-colored horrors.  Click here for the full 1440x864 image. Throne of Bhalz fucked around with this message at 03:27 on Jan 25, 2011 |

 This is what I've done for my Tau army so far, It's not bad for my skill level. Trying to think what I should paint my Tau Armor, what will go well with the sea of red from my Kroot? Probably the same red? I was thinking a Dark purple but that always seems so "randum"... What do you guys think. Also, sorry for the lovely photos, I am terrible with cameras.

Invert the Kroot scheme, so bone colored armor with dark red detailing.

Gravitas Shortfall posted:Invert the Kroot scheme, so bone colored armor with dark red detailing. This, or do dark red accents+ a camo scheme that's similar in colour to the basing you're doing, which looks pretty great. I personally think Tau look best in a camo scheme, not the standard colour-the-panel scheme a lot of people tend to do. And your dudes look pretty gritty thus far, so camo would go nicely with that.

Speaking of Kroot, does anyone have some Kroot Hounds lying around they don't want/need? edit:Thanks for the idea. Actually the more I look at the Kroot Hounds the less I like them, so using the Chaos Warhounds is perfect. Well then, does anyone have some Indolent Bastard fucked around with this message at 20:32 on Jan 26, 2011 |

Gravitas Shortfall posted:Invert the Kroot scheme, so bone colored armor with dark red detailing. Hmm, this will probably work, thanks- Also I'm pretty bad at painting overall so camo is basically out of the question. My bases aren't exactly finished, they need to have the coat on the bottom smoothed out, which I can't seem to perfect every time.

Why are Exorcists so awful to put together? These have to be the most infuriating things.

Every assembly guide I read bitched about the back mount being bent. I had to wang on mine with a rubber mallet for about half an hour before it was even close, and even then I had to cut plastic off the back of the immolator plate. Oh, and serious amounts of two-part metal epoxy goddamn I used a lot of glue.

Got my fennblades finished today, bringing my Trollbloods up to 25 points. Whoever decided that Trolls should have tartan is a complete and utter bastard, i'm a mediocre painter at best and complicated freehand patterns on uneven surfaces do not make me smile Anybody have tips for getting good shots of whole units, i find that when i'm far enough out that i'm getting all the models in shot that i've lost most of the detail on the minatures.

If and when sisters get redone I assume a new Exorcist is top of the list for models.

Aside from "more light", no. I have the same problems, and I've come to the conclusion that the problem is just that I am using a basic point-and-shoot camera instead of a nicer DSLR where I can actually control the settings and that has a higher quality CCD. From your photo though, I think more light would help.

The thing you have to understand with taking photos of models is that it is all voodoo and witchcraft. You will never ever reliably get a good and accurate picture. *runs away crying*

I find that when i let my girlfriend take the pictures i get crisp and well lit results. The only problem then is that the cruel vindictive camera brings out faults in my paintjob that i hadn't noticed with the naked eye. I need to rub vasaline on the lense, or invent the Trollish myspace angle     I swear his paint job isn't anywhere near that grainy in real life.  This one came out fairly non-embarressingly

I should really get some pictures of my bright pink Hello Kitty themed Khador battle box that I painted when I was going to become one of those demo guys. I have since pretty much given up on PP but I still proudly display those.

Fyrbrand posted:Just noticed no one gave you actual advice, sorry. Do you want standard metallic looks, or the far more pro choice of non-metallic? IF the former, basecoat your choice of boltgun or chainmail, wash badab, lightly drybrush with the basecoat color. Add edge highlights with mithril. Pick out details in red/black/blue, boom done. Thanks for this. Not sure if I want to go metallic or nonmetallic yet. I got a blister of two regular grey knights that I think I'll use to test color schemes on.
