^^^ That plague marine's looking cool More pics of my recent progress:  Did the OSL on the lascannons, I was following a tutorial online and I think it looks boss  Also tried to make this Inquisitor's eyes glow, not sure if I like it yet  I used Hell Diver's avatar as a reference for these glasses, they look kickass in person  Fun fact: wikipedia says Citadel stopped using lead in '96. The marine's slotta tab says '90, and the commissar's says '95. lead powder yo  1:144 scale tanks from Japan that I picked up at the hobby store. There's some amazing detail at this scale

Edit \/ \/ \/ It was a gift from my brother. He didn't tell me anything about how it was cut, but he got 3 quarters of the quarter at work

Gonna sperg out a bit here, but the date on the slotta tab is when the model was first put into production, not when it was cast. Chances are there is no lead. Still plenty of lead miniatures on the market though. I picked one up the other day.

Yeah, a slightly off white. And don't hesitate to hit them with a spot of gloss varnish to make them look wet. The shine will make them stand out in a better way than the pure white does.

Put together some Paladins and finished most of the Librarian tonight: Psycannon and Daemonhammer dudes:  Standard bearer, halberdier and sole swordsman of the bunch:  Apothecary and Librarian, just waiting on Fix's bit to come in.  I was going to leave the Libby bare-headed and using that pile o'skulls to differentiate him from the Paladins a bit more (which is pretty funny considering how similar they are statwise), and had planned to make him light-skinned until a friend suggested giving him dark skin to stand out against the shiny metal armor. Any suggestions for painting dark skin?

I usually do Scorched Brown, light Babdab wash, Scorched Brown/Tallarn Flesh highlights, Tallarn Flesh extreme highlights. I think that's how I did my dude that's standing on the Space Wolf helmet.

Just compare them to similar size models and you'll know.

maxmini.eu is fast as hell. I ordered the pirate ork heads from them (Poland) on the 11th, and they were at my house on the 15th (Canada).

I was bored during my flurry of snow days back in February, so I did what anyone else would do...convert a Blood Bowl army out of spare AoBR boyz! I finally got them painted up and based. Introducing the The New Mork Uge Gits. Team Shot  Blitzers  Black Orc Blockers  Linemen  Thrower  I shoot for tabletop quality since I am new, but I am trying picking up tips from lurking this thread. So far the best for me has been using saliva to keep the brush tips pointed. Although, this practice made me taste Mechrite Red...

A number of my epic and bfg models are a slightly darker, rougher metal than the more recent stuff, with brown stains all over them; are these made with the lead alloy?

I don't know about stains but if they're darker then they have a good probability of containing lead. Don't lick your fingers after handling them. The lead alloy is also softer so it holds edges and details a little worse and is of course easier to bend.

What was the turning point? Did they stop using lead after it drove a ship full of Warhams insane, leading one to drag his painting desk across the arctic to his snowy tomb?

Those are awesome, AM! Also, thanks for the help on the water elemental tips, guys. I primed it white, washed it green then blue before the green was completely dry, giving it a nice swirly effect. I'm gonna shine coat it and I'll snap a picture before I return it.

I think there was actually a law passed that made it illegal to sell lead miniatures anymore. It was in the middle of 2nd edition 40k though because I still remember the huge NEW WHITE METAL push. It was before necrons though.

I've gotta say, I really love these Dystopian Wars models. Everything is on backorder, can't get half the models they've released, and all the stuff they have previewed on the website looks incredible. Here's shots of my FSA Navy, including the new release Medium Flyers.

Galaga Galaxian posted:Hey, Hell Diver, what colors would you recommend for your Catachan skin process if I wanted to try using it on Orks? Hmm, I haven't painted an ork in years, but I believe I went with a Dark Angels Green base, Snot Green mid-tone and Goblin Green highlight. On occasion you could slap an extreme Scorpion green highlight in there as well. I don't even know if all of those colors are still in production. I actually prefer the more chalky skin colors that have been more popular recently. Using Catachan Green, Camo and one of the Foundation Colors that escapes me, though I've never tried it myself.

I'd like dystopian wars a lot more if the rulebook wasn't basically goon.book, but some of the ships look like they'd paint up well. Also I'm gonna pretend the carrier has conveyor belt runways.
