That said it's pretty easy to magnetize the two halves of a Leman Russ turret so that you can just pop the top off and slip in whatever gun you want to use. I can post pictures of the way I did mine if you want.

The vallejo and P3 stuff I keep in draws. I've converted up a Scion to be a door sniper for my Valkyrie. Needs a bit more GS work to smooth out the joins and to give him a seat and safety rope, but I'm really enjoying this. I have plans for this bird.

Right now I've got a Chimera hopefully arriving next week that screams to be painted so any LR plans will have to wait.

The Supreme Court posted:Thanks! I'm basically using a colour scheme I found here: http://theminiaturespage.com/boards/msg.mv?id=287417 , only with caution stripes. Took me rather a lot of tries to get a white and red mix I was satisfied with! Thought that scheme made for some nicely striking models. Unfortunately, as many of my game projects do, it fell by the wayside after some rough playtests and other things coming up. I still have my ships though, so perhaps I'll dust them off at some point and get back into it.

So, in the current White Dwarf, Jervis wrote an article about painting a "one-off". So I was all like, "gently caress it. Imma paint a muhfukin one-off tonight." Check it, bitches:   poo poo was tight. Commissars are both easy and fun to paint. Took me about 2 and a half hours. Jayson Werth's 8th inning salami may have extended this paintjob's duration.

I'm so jelly. But if you want a certain paint, do you have to keep pulling out other colors until the one you want drops out of the rack?

How do you get that particular effect with the blood paint? Drybrushing or painting streaks on with regular brushes?

I just use regular brushes and as I reach the end of my brushstroke I flick the brush upwards quickly to give it that kind of streaking.

been awhile since i painted anything, but about a year ago I started playing a D&D campaign with some friends at work and my character (a monkey cleric cursed prince of an ancient monkey kingdom) was too funny not to make into a mini  not perfect, still a lot I could do/fix/polish/improve. but for a mini that'll get a fair amount of handling and was kinda spur of the moment anyway it's fun. It's a light conversion of Reaper's Pathfinder Halfling Bard mini(whatever his name is). Both his tail and staff are a slightly thicker gauge jewelry wire edit: worth noting this is probably the smallest mini i've ever painted. It's a 28mm scale halfling, so the whole thing is smaller than my thumb treeboy fucked around with this message at 12:23 on Apr 10, 2014 |

Pacheeco posted:Ghost Tints: they're "candy paint", they are highly saturated transparent paint with some kind of special formula that makes them different from regular acrylic paint. They're made to be airbrushed on so you can control the amount of color saturation and do cool blending. You can also brush it on but unless you go super light, brushing it on is basically full color saturation. You can apply them over different base colors to change your ending color and also do pre-washing because the wash will show through the tint. They do work as glazes but they are really dense pigment so you would have to play with thinning them so that the glaze doesn't just overpower the base. You can also change the brightness/darkness on the undercoat to create shading for tints; "zenithal priming" works incredibly well for Ghost Tints. You can also apply them over metallics (silver specifically) to make colored metallics but if you go crazy your models will look like Christmas tree ornaments. Would love to hear more about these and see some examples. I just got the whoel set and had no idea about the issues with other paints. So far I've used the Green and Purple and I like the effect (magic swords on Khador Doom Reavers).

I've been sick this week so I've managed to finish off this Wraithblade I've been painting for months. It's a test scheme for a possible Wraith-only army. Feedback very welcome:  Sorry the axe head is out of focus, it's a bronzey colour. e: need to add static grass!

Avenger_Mullah posted:Love these! How did you do them? Airbrushed them white, and worked upwards in shades lightest to darkest. lightest on sides, darker towards spines, with the stomach and spines being a different set of colors. Tons of layers using extremely thin paint, first time using nuln oil. I also flicked the initial priming with a toothbrush to give it a speckled look with some very dark green.

So far I've used the Green and Purple and I like the effect (magic swords on Khador Doom Reavers). Watch out for huge image dump! GT Green (airbrushed) on Gray? primer with a Black Pre-Wash and then washed with Agrax  GT Plasma Fluid and Magenta (airbrushed) on White Primer w/ Black Pre-Wash  GT Plasma Fluid (airbrushed) on White w/ Black Pre-Wash; how heavy your pre-wash goes on really changes how the tint will come out  Pink part is GT Magenta (airbrushed) on pure white paint  The red parts are GT Fresh Blood (brushed on, multiple coats) over white primer w/ black wash, Hound fur is GT Brown on white primer w/ black wash, Yellow on sword is GT Yellow on white paint   Baal Pred is white base with black pre-shading and then going back over the model with white paint to clean up the shading and then airbrushing the entire thing with GT Fresh Blood  For the BA ASM I basically did Les' "I Hate Painting Red" video. The only problem is I didn't create enough white highlight spots so the models came out dark or maybe they are just dark because I can't find the motivation to finish painting them.  Furioso dread was all done with a gradient undercoat of black/gray/white and then airbrushed GT Fresh Blood. The blue on the claws is GT Plasma Fluid.

Post 9-11 User posted:I'm agreeing with you not being a dick: it is decent but underwhelming. It could really use a contrasting color. Look at the photos in timg or just stand from a distance from the models, the colors are all dark therefore blend together. The bases look great, but there really could be a complimentary but contrasting color on the other parts of the model, consider a sand or cream color on the black panels. I took the advice to heart and put some time into the Sentinels and I'm very happy with the results.   I added some Bleached Bone to the black panels and applied a Devlan Mud wash as well. I added Evil Suns Scarlet to the red, and washed with the Red Wash to take it back down in color but I really dig the muddy, washed out look the red armor has now. I patched up the blue on the windows and light and added some white parts to the Plasma Cannons so they could stand out more, especially at a distance. I know I'm not a great painter, but man I love improving at it. As much as I'm a sucker for the Black/Red look I think these are way more interesting now. They really pop out from a distance now and that to me is the most important. Thanks again for the advice. I knew posting here more would be a good idea.

I finally got around to borrowing a lightbox and taking some pics of this week's painting.  First up, a Big Mek and Bones Wight dude.         This week I have been mostly painting Bones Wizards. (technically the first three were painted a while ago but I only photo'd them today). My aim was to theme each one from a different WHFB College of Magic even though most of them will never see a Warhams game.

I really love the mix of colours! D&D Schools right?  Also I'm looking for suggestions on how to assemble a box of Warhammer Empire Flagellants. I'm not building them for Warhammer, I'm trying to paint them as Silent Hill-themed monsters for a D&D game. I'm thinking fiery heads and masked faces would be good monsters for the paladin, and someone in stocks for the monk. Maybe some Silent Hill fans have good ideas on monster design  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tysvNGGFN3M edit:Games workshop no longer shows the sprue pictures :/ sprue 1 sprue 2 sprue 3 Weirdo fucked around with this message at 21:31 on Apr 10, 2014 |

They look better in person. They were put on directly after the base colours with microset and microsol and have received the same weathering and layers as the rest of the tank so are better blended in reality.

The only good game in the series since then was Shattered Memories, (the third was good in an intensely visual but campy way) but still. At least one really cool thing came from them, the Siam was an okay monster that became a jaw-dropping cosplay:  1  2It's too big to be an infantry sized creature, though. Maybe these instead:  3  4Each row from this set represents the first, second, and third games, respectively:  5Hnnnghh what have you done.

There's not a lot of small details and the organic nature of the model lends well to basecoat > wash > drybrush.

What I'd love to do is get 3 knights, 3 more Valkyries then kitbash them together and paint them to match but fuuuuuuuuuck that's a lot of money. I know essentially nothing about knights, is it true you can run a list that's JUST knights? If so, chances are I will eventually end up doing a transformer themed version of that list for my brother.
