Z the IVth posted:Has anyone used GW's Agrellan Earth crackle paint? What's the verdict? Here's a crappy pic:  It's great for being lazy when basing and the effect does work. I washed with Agrax to get some colour variation and also matte varnished the whole thing, as it can flake up pretty easily. It works best on larger surfaces imo, and obviously it's easier to have a base with a rim. It doesn't fill gaps but it is still a little thick, as you'll pretty much be globbing paint straight from the pot. I would also suggest adding some rocks to the base pre-paint to give variety and have something for the medium to stick to/pool around.

So I want to display a single miniature I painted. Is there a good sort of miniature display box I could use for this? I know a dice cube works, but they always have that injection part on the top and they look kinda tacky. He's just a dude on a 25mm base but I might want to expand the base a little bit so it can look like more of a display piece when it's not on the table. Context: I painted a mini for my dad last year and he has it on display in his office by putting it in an upturned jar and I want to show it off with something nicer.

Small doll display domes for small pew-pew dolls: http://www.collectingwarehouse.com/Product-Home-Page/Glass-Doll-Domes-22-Sizes/ Just an example, you can find a suitable size if you google around a bit.

Anyone know a good way to do pinstripes? I thought a masking template was the way to go, but I can only find hexgrids.

Great suggestions guys, thanks! I'm finally working on my Space Stalingrad board (Cosmograd? Wintergrad?)  Not pictured: the other dozen+ tiles that make up the 6x4 board. Tomorrow I'll black in the craters, and I'll do the snow and sewer grates and such when I'm back in Boston.

The dropzone elite infantry got their bases today so now they're 100% done. I put numbers on the bases for identification and army list purposes and added them to my old infantry as well. The first pic has an old fire warrior for scale comparison.

Cross positing from the oath thread. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Oath for November complete! Claiming jurnal for the birch tree ent with fall leaves and the Bugbear Squash Squad. First up this month is a Birch Tree Ent wandering around in the fall season.   Next up is the Bugbear Squash Squad. Many creatures beyond the more civilized races also celebrate the fall harvest. The Bugbear is no different. Long ago they learned that the fall was a great time to send out squash squads to collect farmers as they labored. The Bugbear Squash Squads venture out to the fields in leather armor adorned to resemble squashes. Yellow studded greaves, lamellar adorned with gourds, and images of fall squashes on their shields. They rush out yelling "Squash!" as they beat them into jelly with their maces and clubs, and one with a sharp implement for skinning when necessary. Here the Bugbears make all of the Human Jam, Halfling Jelly and Elven Marmalade they need to sustain themselves through the cold season ahead.    Rohan spear and arrow units!  Everyone for the month in a group shot:

Thanks y'all! The bases are kinda for sale, i talked to a distributor who seemed interested but never heard back from them so i'm going to sell them via forums/facebook/cons/whatever if there's interest. Just shoot me a PM i guess. I tried to take some proper daylight photos today but with the current weather this is the best i could manage:  I also did first tests for the next project, tails for my light dropships.

I have a Kastalan robot in progress I could use advice on. Anything I should be doing to improve this model before I finish him up? This is my first time painting yellow. It's not perfect, but I'm happy with the way it turned out. I could whiten up the edges a bit more, I think. It isn't as smooth everywhere as I wanted, but I do feel like I'm thinning my paints better and getting improved results.  It's supposed to be an Ever-Faithful, in this case Sor-Methuselas of the Din-Thoria Maniple, Red-Lessons of Agra Prime. I figured throwing in one or two Ever-Faithful, who don't match the color scheme, would add interest to my army and also reflect the Tech Priest-Dominus having collecting ancient robots along his adventures. I should add hazard stripes to his blaster housing, but I'm not sure how I'm going to go about doing that yet. I'm wondering if I should try weathering it, since the Ever-Faithful are supposed to be pre-unification war robots (so about 15,000 years old?).

I was thinking of picking up the Badger 105 Patriot and an air compressor, preferably one that isn't too loud. Could I get a few goon recommendations? The OP says I can choose two of good, cheap, and support, but I'm not sure which compressor meets each criteria. I'm planning on using the setup to paint Warmachine miniatures. Is the Badger able to do detail work for infantry? The Sotar sounds like a steep learning curve, but I could be persuaded either way. How about the Sparmax Inspire Tc620X?

I added some battle damage. I think I may not do the gun casing stripes. The surface is curved and I tried to fit small strips of masking tape but it was challenging to get the angle correct. I could battle damage the housing instead...

Watch the Dr Faust video on painting Castellans. Very good inspiration ffor weathering there.

That compressor should be in the OP as a goon recommended product, same as the Patriot and Sotar. (I'll edit it in soon) I would suggest find a good deal on the Patriot and get the Sparmax compressor. Learn how to use the airbrush with the standard needle (like, a few months or several stacks of models) and if you can afford it get the Sotar when you think you're ready, or try the budget way and get the fine detail needle/nozzle set for the Patriot. It's about one-third the cost of the Sotar Amazon sale price.

I think I liked Craptank more, but Hi-Mock has some good results there. Also GW started putting out their advent calendar of painting tutorials with how to paint white power armor: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFsFy0n8H-4 It's not bad, I personally don't know if doing that sort of pin wash thing takes longer than just washing the whole model and bringing it back up to light grey, but it's a tutorial that gets good results.

Well, it does serve the dual purpose of training someone new to painting in precision while also getting layering, washes, and the way to paint a light color handled. IMO a well thought out lesson. Just Don't Give GW Money. Edit: Also holy poo poo at all the awesome himocks. I thought that went nowhere so I ordered mine and now it's sitting around in its box  I have to do something with it this holiday. Just to prove I'm cool like you guys.

Eh, I mean, I'm probably just bad at it but having done a bunch of stormtroopers recently with the latter method, it's time consuming and tedious as all hell, especially when you've got like 20 to do. I've still got a few heavies left to paint, I might try a pin wash on those instead of washing the whole model.

I've done 30 of the modern plastic GW stormtroopers and I just swamp the dude in brown wash and bring it back up, but they've got brown BDUs and leather straps and metallics and other stuff that takes that wash well. I figure it's faster to do the whole model up but even when I'm doing the whites on my nice and tidy Ultramarines I hit the whole area up with blue and bring it back up.
