Looks like either a previous Codex or one of the painting guides. I'll have a look through my spare transfers but tbh GW's pretty committed to Ragnar as their poster child so I doubt there's anything other than his company's markings.

The one they offer on the store, currently, appears to have three: https://www.games-workshop.com/en-IE/Space-Wolf-Decals The Stormwolves, The Drakeslayers, and the Blackmanes. This is, of course, incredibly frustrating although I understand the potential loss in cash in printing every Chapter.

Well for a while now Big_G has been mythering me to get my Stealer Cult up on SA, so here goes! Starting with the decent shots rather than all the WIP's i'll post more wip shots as I go, Atm i have a finished acolyte both the princelings and the 4 abberrents (they were fun!) on the table are 5 more acolytes i'll post wip as i go. First the Princelings, excuse the mix of shots, only recently got a light box but this gives you an idea of the colour scheme for my hive.   then the tester Acolyte:  and the Abberrents:     and the money shot of the group fully based.  Have to say, when DW:O was announced I was over the moon, I've really missed stealer cults, easily one of the best bits of fluff geedubs has, now there's a codex coming out? can't wait! melonfish fucked around with this message at 12:56 on Sep 21, 2016 |

PaintVagrant posted:Very strange. Is it possible you are cleaning your airbrush out with rubbing alcohol or windex and that too much of it is remaining in the brush and causing issues with the paint? Rubbing alcohol in particular can cause paint to do weird things. Zhent posted:Any other similarities? How much time are you leaving between priming and painting? What are the models - metal, plastic, resin? Are you airbrushing the primer on as well or spray primer? Tried both can primer and air brushed primer. Never had a problem with either until now. I used to prime then paint the day after but the Dreadnought Ive just lost paint off of has been sat primed and waiting for over a month. I dont think Ive had this problem with brushed on paint - I use my airbrush for nearly everything now. Airbrush has definitely been clean and dry before use. And its definitely a bigger problem on edges and corners than flat surfaces. I might record from priming to basecoating and put it on the blog - see if any one can tell me where Im blind to an obvious mistake.

Does the primer brush off easily with your fingers? "Skunked" primer that applies sort of dry and grainy usually just falls off.

FastestGunAlive posted:http://m.imgur.com/a/LDBvY If you really want one and are in the states, Dicehead has their own. It generally costs sixty bucks plus shipping and has about $100 worth of stuff (the times I received it it was usually just over; $102-110). There's often a GW model of somesort, then a decentish model from something like WarmaHordes or Malifaux, and some small stuff like paints, basing materials (I got bricks once). It's fun if you like random stuff (I do) and you're guaranteed to get at least $100 worth of stuff, but you do have the issue of not knowing if you'll like the stuff you paid sixty bucks for.

I'm looking for some basing help. I'm far enough into my 28mm napoleonics project that it's time to settle on how to base them. These are going to be from the French invasion of Russia, so I'm thinking late summer/autumn/early winter, but before the snow. And I want to make the bases a little more grassy than the common "stony ground with a few tufts of grass" that you see on so many miniatures. Basically representing something like this kind of grass, but maybe with some tufts for added effect:  I've been googling around, and the closest I find are these pictures, though the blog is old and had no info on how he made them.   I'm trying to make some kind of plan for how to get such an effect, and all I can come up with is to start with a brownish static grass, and then add browish tufts. Am I missing something? Anyone has any great tips on which materials to go for?

If there is a model train store near you, it may be worth a trip to see if they have anything on display in the N-scale, which usually works out pretty well. Color-wise, you may need some combination of green and yellow ground cover, with some tufts to break it up size-wise. http://woodlandscenics.woodlandscenics.com/show/Item/CT-YG/page/1 http://woodlandscenics.woodlandscenics.com/show/Item/CT-LG/page/1

I'm going to start on some Iron Warriors vehicles in the near future, and I realized that while the umber oil and white spirits trick will work for weathering it to some degree, I'm unsure about two things. 1. How would you show chipping on a model that's already metallic? I know I'm going to use the sponge & Leadbelcher on the hazard striped and black areas, but I'd like to show similar effects on the main areas. 2. My basing for the infantry is primarily focused on Martian Ironearth, but I don't think that applying that to the treads and lower points is going to look great - I figure it would look like the red earth is cracking on the vehicle. What's my best bet to illustrate that they're driving through a cracked red waste?

So I am finally, finally getting a compressor. TC-620X. Plus Patriot 105 Airbrush to go with my Sotar 2020 airbrush. The descriptions under the OP are difficult to follow. Just to make sure I have everything right, I need to get the following: 1/8 hose with moisture trap quick disconnect coupler QD plug for badger x2 (sotar + Patriot 105) I already have teflon tape. Anything else I need? Are these the correct items for the hose? Or would it be simpler to just get something like this? all-in one package

I just ordered some Reaper fire elementals and burning spheres and the pictures make them look like they're made out of red translucent plastic of some sort. Is there anything you can do with that without painting the whole thing? What would happen if I threw on some Army Painter Quickshade?

I know I'm going to use the sponge & Leadbelcher on the hazard striped and black areas, but I'd like to show similar effects on the main areas. You could do a couple of things: 1) If your metallic base is darker (i.e. dirty/oily,) you could make some lighter chips and scrapes on the armor to represent the outer layer getting scraped away. 2) You could make some darker (Charadon Granite-type color) chips or scraping on the metal, implying a steel plated over ceramite look. That said, I think Iron Warriors look better as metal with grime and oil stains. You can limit chipping to the hazard striped shoulderpads and dozer blades and still get some really nice looks.

You can definitely paint them up while leaving them mostly translucent. For the fire elementals, I'd probably avoid washes, because you want the deep recesses to seem brighter, since that's where fires tend to be hotter. Instead, give it a coat of sealer to give paint to stick to, and then give them some paint on the tips with some browns and grays to represent smoke.

I finished up a quad mortar and the Praetor from Betrayal at Calth. I didn't like his head (I think Aethon is a tool) so I swapped it out for one of the super Greco-Roman heads from the Ultramarines sprue. I'm super happy with how his cape came out, especially the transfer:    And time to lose some friends:

Currently painting an Ogre Cossack from Scibor to practice skin and I'm unsure how far I want to go with highlights. The brightest parts are currently a 1:1 mix of VMC Cork Brown and VMC Dark Sand. Do I keep going with pure Dark Sand and onwards or do I leave it and just focus on cleanup? Also, ignore the hands and face, trying to finish the body before I move on to them.

Looking for a bit of advice before I really get to painting. I'm trying to hash out a paint scheme, using P3 Coal Black as the base (or close enough to it), giving me a nice dark teal/turquoise. I also know I'm aiming to have P3 Meredius Blue as my highest highlight. However, even with significant blending (I've got a test model from my old D&D days to practice on), the transition is too sharp, and there's definitely a feeling like I'm missing a midtone there that would work. I've hosed around with a few other blue-green paints, from mixing some turquoise ink into some Trollblood Base to cruising Walmart in the search of a decent match (even if the quality takes a small hit). I'm almost about to just order the WarColours Turquoise slice and call it a fuckin' day, but I've already got resin bases coming in from the UK and that took $50 and almost a month and i still don't have them yet (though they're in the post, about fuckin' time Fenris Games) and I'm really not looking forward to waiting another who-the-hell-knows-how-long and drop another  ON TOP OF of a work rumor that hours might be cut a bit more before the holiday season picks back up at the end of the year.  So yeah, sorry about the  , I'm just looking for a decent mid-tone turquoise that's not literally halfway across the world half a month out. I'd even take some lovely Apple Barrel paint suggestion, if it worked. I'm not trying to win Golden Demons, I just want a good paint scheme.

Aniodia, Reaper Marine Teal might work. Okay, I'm painting up a Stormraven Gunship. Someone said it looked a bit like Bastion's head from Overwatch, so I'm doing it in Bastion's colors. Here are some pictures as is, after basecoating it with the airbrush:   Here's a picture of Bastion:  Here's a mock-up of how I'm thinking about painting it up from here:  Areas circled are going to be painted that color. Black represents gunmetal. Any thoughts on it before I start prepping it for further paint?
