I wanted to get their one off characters too but it being kickstarter I didn't want to throw too much money into it in case something went horribly wrong. Oh man. I dropped 100 bucks on the Zombicide kickstarter and this one looks just as awesome.

I'll trade an Abomination copy of Zombicide for whatever the equivalent for Sedition Wars is.

Make your own: sheet cork and some spray-on adhesive. Both should be available where ever you may happen to be, usually both at an art supply store.

What is this "office" you speak of? Seems like most of the cork boards are a bit to thick for my liking, but I guess I can cut it

A bit random, but can someone measure the corner-to-corner diameter of their Citadel color pot? I'm going to make my own painting station out of foam board and want to allow for the different brands of paint, where possible. Also, can any acrylic flow improver/drying retarder work with Vallejo? At some point I want to try blending colors and apparently this helps a lot.

I'm just referencing my first battlesuit (the Bouncer aka mini-dickbot) and the second one (the Pendekar aka Dickbot Mk2). I consciously stayed away from any protrusions in the groin region...

You were doing really good on that non-dickbot design, but you need to look at that right arm again. Maybe it's just that the curves are too organic, but it's on the razors edge of phallic imagery. I almost thought you put that there as a joke. It's still awesome though.

That arm's about to get amputated in the near future. See the black line? That's where the actual arm ends. I've left the extra length of it attached so I have something to hold onto when I sculpt. When I said no dicks... I mean no dicks.  Sole.Sushi posted:There are a million and one board games, but that doesn't stop people from enjoying all of them. And who says you need to do infantry?

I will have to think about writing something up, or just working with another small-scale producer who is in need of battlesuits.

Got a question here goons and goonettes, what do you lot use to spur on your painting ability? I find that as much as I enjoy painting, it falls to the way side a hell of a lot and it's easy to get distracted and as such my pace is monolithic.

Check out the oath thread. But really a sense of guilt when another week rolls by and I play my opponent and he has managed to paint another unit of 30 miniatures and I maybe have managed to undercoat some.

I find that as much as I enjoy painting, it falls to the way side a hell of a lot and it's easy to get distracted and as such my pace is monolithic. I've only just started playing 40K but have tons of unpainted/stripped miniatures from years ago (I bought a KR case with 144 slots and nearly filled it with all of my old figures...sadly only about 30 are painted to a usable standard) - basically I've tried to houserule with my friends that all of our armies must have *some* sort of painting progress between games. In the case of my Dark Eldar, that ranges from assembly all the way to the finished product - my Reavers are all assembled now, but there are about 20 troops remaining to be built, plus I want to modify some of the Kabalites into Trueborn with Green Stuff. I haven't painted in years, so I'm starting slowly by painting up a bunch of Genestealers I bought ages ago (to use in a space RPG setting), so I can get the hang of taking off mold lines, assembling, etc. I've quickly come to the realization I'll be watching a lot more movies or listening to loads of podcasts as I paint! I don't really understand how the oath thing works, plus I want to get more comfortable painting before I commit to anything.

The Oath thread really helps my painting; I was pretty busy last month and wouldn't have done a thing if I hadn't oathed some skeletons at the start. I'd just have left them for another month or two if I hadn't promised to someone else to paint them! Don't be scared of oathing either, the minimum is 3 models for an entire month and while some people's painting is outrageously good, you only need to do to a standard that you're happy with.

This has been my method since I was about 12 1. Spend all disposable income on models 2. Don't paint for months 3. Paint 2 armies in a couple of months in a rush for a tournament 4. Play a tournament with the armies then sell them because you are bored with them repeat. Luckily I have been pretty productive iwth my painting in the last couple of years. Speaking of which. I am working on one of my Thunderhorse Heavy Metal Lords on Juggernaut at work because it is slow as gently caress. Expect photos when something exciting happens (probably dropping the lead model on my foot and spouting some colourful Australian cursing)

Lovely orc! I'm not usually impressed with orcs but that is really nice, I love the axe and face. KingMob posted:Painting motivation strategies, the KingMob way: I like the points reward thing - I'll have to implement that starting two weeks ago. Also I'll have to settle on what's good for me, I'd love to do some really good character pieces but starting with armies done assembly-line style is probably where I need to be right now. Hopefully I'll be up to scratch when I'm done with them and I get started on my Infinity figures.

 Sculpting some hair on to C.Hoffman to model him after Vincent from Silent Hill, think it makes him look quite dashing. Really want to paint these guys up, but holding my horses for the Oath thread. Really wish you could submit early for the next month but I suppose that's not in the spirit of the exercise.

Dominion posted:Be careful with assembly line painting. It gets poo poo done but if you're anything like me it quickly saps your will to paint/live. I cannot stand to paint more than 3 or so models at once. I know what you mean! I was putting the first base coat on the Genestealers last night and the movie I was watching ended...I couldn't stop painting to start another movie because I was in a painting groove, but I didn't want to continue painting because I wasn't listening to anything. It was weird. I used to watch tons of movies over and over while painting, I just need to get back in the swing of things. But with the assembly-line painting I just want to get these particular models to 'tabletop quality' so I have a group of figures with matching colors (partly to accomplish something, partly to build up my confidence). Once I get to the 40K guys I actually use I'm hoping I'll have the method down a bit more and slow down for more quality and attention to detail. The plan for the Infinity models is to give them the full 100% treatment. So hopefully I work my way up  I've been watching tons of videos on blending, washing, basing, painting eyes, etc., and I'm itching to try all the techniques, but I need to slowly work my way up and not get ahead of myslef. The Infinity models are intended to be full-on 'character/display' models (hopefully).

My suggestion would be to not worry about blending at this point. Master being able to put down an even smooth coat with no brushstrokes, then learn to shade with washes and highlight with drybrushing, then edge highlighting, especially for hard armored models. I've been painting for years, have done some stuff I am really very proud of, and only did my first real grown up blend last week. It's hard, and its frustrating to get right, so it helps to have solid fundamentals to use before you start banging your head against blending. It also helps to know that there's a bunch of different techniques you can use for blends. Wet blending, 2-brush blending, and glazes are a few, and are all very different ways to get a smooth gradient between colors. One may suit you more than another. I can't really get my head around wet blending but 2-brush and glazing both make more intuitive sense to me.
