T-Rex dread just wants to be loved. Weathering for orks: 50/50 boltgun+mithril Nuln oil vallejo orange pigment + rubbing alcohol, then wash with rubbing alcohol to get it to move into the recesses. Sponge boltgun+mithril mix on for quick highlights edge highlights with pure mithril The trick to weathering is sponges!

CyberLord XP posted:For a good rust pattern? Never would have thought. Writing this poo poo down for my painting in this months oath contest. Yeah you can sponge on the pigments. But make sure to use rubbing alcohol to get it to flow into the recesses, rust should be in the recesses and paint chips/etc should be on the edges. I was super stoked about how that rust pattern on ghaz's "head" came out, and that was just me daubing a brush on it a few times randomly.

Asphyxious posted:Thinking of making a chaos blood bowl team for shits and giggles (and maybe to play? ha! silly Asphyxious, you have no time!) and was wondering if anyone here had any ideas for how to make cool looking Chaos Warrior players? I like the designs from the PC game and wouldn't mind emulating those, just looking for a good starting point. Current edition chaos warriors, but you might not like the fur capes. Current Chaos Space Marines, but they may look too futuristic for your tastes. Or possibly the best option, 5th edition chaos warriors, but they may be hard to track down. Alternatively you could look at http://www.impactminiatures.com/index.php?option=home and dig around, but the sculpts range from good to garbage and the prices can be a little over the top.

Isn't rubbing alcohol a paint stripper? I know it's taken a few layers of some models I've done. Are you just super light with the alcohol?

I try to apply it without putting much pressure on the brush, and not in a large quantity. It then sits and evaporates without damaging the paint. If you push it around a lot you will remove paint, but I ahvent had too much trouble with it.

I ended up at Hudson & Allen Studio who seem to make stuff for dioramas at museums and claymation movies. http://www.hudsonandallen.com/ The Autumn leaves were $10 and the forest litter for underneath was $8.50. Seems like the 2 bags of each I got should do the entire army easy. (pMadrak for scale)

I don't understand. Why, if someone is having someone like Paintvagrant paint their large mini, would they have him use the Black Reach Dreadnought body? It's like having Michelangelo paint the Sistine Chapel on the ceiling of a 7-11.

He then later wanted me to add riflemanz arms.

It's like having Michelangelo paint the Sistine Chapel on the ceiling of a 7-11. Because I was naive when I ordered my first army. I didn't know there was much of a difference between the AoBR Dreads and other Dreads. I just wanted a sweet looking space marine army, and PV delivered. After I got more into it, I realized I probably should've commissioned some (nay ...most) of my models differently. But gently caress it; they look awesome anyways, so I'm happy to play them. Recently I wanted to add an Ironclad to my army, and I needed some Rifleman Dreads too. Since I already had the AoBR Dreads painted up by PV, and the sockets were magnetized, it was a no-brainer to simply have new arms magnetized to the existing body. Despite being the inferior AoBR models, I still think they look cool as poo poo.

It might be a lousy sculpt, but you have done a really awesome job of it. It's tempting me to repaint my Ashlynn to try and improve her, but gently caress it I'm going to wait for them to release the new sculpt and just put my energy into that. Really nice job on the face! Whenever I try to paint eyes and lips I end up with something that looks like someone botoxed a chameleon, so I am impressed.

I'll be sure to post finished pictures - hopefully the foliating process will happen in the next day or two and these will start looking like proper jungle pieces. You guys are so lovely I'll have to upload photos of my new counts-as-Catachan Grey Knights allies with a powerloader Sentinel. Here's some minis for content:   And some hobby-related ebay auctions that goons might have some interest in. My Slann Mage Priest which needs a good home. Gotta love them tropic colors.  Some InstantMold Oyumaru stuff which will blow your mind while simultaneously saving you money on bitz and making your conversions instantly better, also attracting women. And the wonderful camera I've taken almost all my mini photos ever with, currently at $8. Even the $75 BIN is a steal. Thanks for putting up with my hawking, keep posting the pretty minis.

If it makes you feel any better she looks like a french revolutionary in warcaster armor. I had the same plan as you, wait for the store. But then a buddy mentioned he was going to pax and I said "gently caress it" and had him pick up Ashlynn and the IKRPG. IKRPG is boss as gently caress.

Two questions: What is the deal with thinning metallic paints? I'm seeing a lot of conflicting advice, where some people are saying that thinning it separates the metal flakes to a point that it becomes patchier than if you didn't thin it at all, and some people claim if you don't thin them you will have a gloopy mess. I've always thinned them but I hate using metallics because they look so rough compared to "standard" colors. Should I not be thinning them? Secondly, argh gently caress GW for renaming their paint line yet again. What basecoat color is Gretchin green now? Ditto for devlan mud and boltgun metal. Seriously was i necessary to change the names up so soon? And these new names suck rear end, I don't know what the vast majority of them are even supposed to be named after so it doesn't really help me figure out which ones to buy. Finally, what is the deal with the whole "layer 1 / layer 2" stuff? Are the layer 2s just supposed to be highlight colors corresponding to the layer 1s or something? I feel like an old person.

Oh not this loving discussion again. The names were never descriptive in the first place. They didn't just rename the paints either, they completely redid the entire line. Some of the paints have pretty much the same color but a lot of them are very different, and some of them don't have an analogue from the previous line. AFAIK there's no difference between layer 1 and 2.

I haven't even begun purchasing my first WH40k army but every time I see a Slann Mage Priest I want to start a Lizardman army. I suppose I should learn to paint first.  That is the coolest paint job I've seen on one yet.
