Frobbe posted:looking for suggestions on how to achieve the rusty red GW has on their promethium relay pipes as seen here According to the box it is Mephiston Red then Agrax, then drybrushed Necron Compound. I'd say two to three coats of Agrax might do it. Alternatively airbrush the Agrax on for more control.

I finished a thing. Mind the lack of edge highlights. This was for a contest and had to forgo them to make sure it got done in time.

Hello Painting Thread I have decided to try and get back into 40k, after not playing since 3rd edition. Not that I ever really "played", but I digress... I picked up some Imperial Guard infantry for my first new army and have been experimenting with some techniques that I heard about online. The last time I painted anything was when I was a kid, and they all looked like this abomination. My test Guard currently looks like this. Still not the best, but at least something of an improvement. I still need to get flesh paint and figure out how to do the layers correctly, but my biggest question is whether my wash over the armor and pants is way too much or if it looks appropriate. It's hard to see on the armor, but the red wash that GW recommended on the pants give it a neat dirty, but messy look. I'm not sure if this a result of putting too much on, or if I should not be covering so much of the model with the wash and sticking only to the divots. Criticism greatly appreciated!

DreamShipWrecked posted:Hello Painting Thread Have you watched our lord and savior Duncan's videos on Cadians? I mean honestly, watching him and copying him took me from those blob paint marines to pretty drat decent. He is the god of miniatures painting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enUqWuU-Nns Your shading looks bad. Not to be a jerk, I know where you are and I was just as bad. But like, yeah, you're doing something wrong. The Khaki is a good color, but the shade on the khahki isn't where it should be. Its pooled up in bad splotches and there's no shade at all on the creases where there should be. Some of it looks good, the pocket on his leg is caught by the shade perfectly and makes it pop, same with his arm creases. But the back of the legs have big gaps with no shade at all, which makes it look inconsistent. You want to apply a nice thin amount of the wash all over the model, and let it naturally fall in the cracks. If you see it start to pool up, try to grab it with your brush and spread it around or just grab some and then clean your brush to "erase" the pooling. The front chestpiece looks like it has some good black shading around the armor elements, but the back piece looks really flat. The gun and shoulderpads look a tad blobby too. Probably just need to thin your paints more and change up how you're using your washes.

Cool, I'll check it out. Looking at the pictures the blank parts on the back of the legs were from where I tried to do layering, failed, and covered it up but forgot to re-wash it. I'll double check with the rest, though. Glad that I have at least the basic theory down though.

Glad that I have at least the basic theory down though. Yeah I was considering that. And I'm still learning the same thing myself, I can get a nice base layer down and then wash it and it looks pretty great but a bit dark, so then I try to be like Duncan and add some layering on top to brighten it up and I end up going too far and ruining the whole thing. This is especially challenging I find for exposed arms, trying to do the layering of the flesh colors is just... really hard to get right. You end up going too far and then the whole thing looks splotchy. Practice makes perfect

Hello thread, meet Garret, the Barbarian Archer;     He's starting to get on in years and feels his bones creaking (though, he won't say anything about it).  I'm not 100% pleased with him but he looks fine enough.

I tried using a purple wash, instead of a red, around his eyes to try and convey that he's either older or just poorly.

DreamShipWrecked posted:Hello Painting Thread As Zaphod said, you'll want to thin the wash more and then apply it a bit more evenly, making sure it hits all the cracks. Then you'll probably want to go back over the raised areas with a thinned layer of your base color to bring the mid-tone and highlights back up, then go with a highlight color. I'd also recommend doing the flesh tone before you do too much else on the helmet area or the gun. That way, if you get flesh paint on the other bits, it'll get covered up when you get to those parts. I generally start with the innermost parts of a model and work my way out for that reason.

Thanks for the advice everyone, I'm going to pick up some flesh tone and hopefully get it fixed up. Can anyone recommend a good pair of good, sturdy sprue clippers? I picked up the fancy "Official CItadel Tools" blah blah blah clippers and the loving things shattered in my hand as I was trying to cut a head out.

Or stick to black? I'd definitely go purple. Word Bearers armor should be almost Burgundy IMO to set them apart from like, World Eaters or Crimson Slaughter which are just proper red red.

I have a pair of the old plastic handle cutters and they're pretty nice to use. But I imagine they're impossible to get these days anyway. The new ones feel a bit too slippery because there's zero grip on the metal handles.

Got a Nob finished up. Of course after I got him all done I made the decision that I'm going to rebase the bastard on a 32mm before I go too far painting many more. They just don't fit well on a 25mm. I've never rebased a mini before, so here's hoping I don't end up messing up the paint too bad.
