Under normal circumstances I probably wouldn't have gone through the trouble, but due to the rona I have a lot more painting time on my hands. It's strangely soothing to do this kind of methodical painting while sitting on a conference call.

Pakxos posted:Hoping to finish the terminator squad tomorrow. Can anyone who cares to post their power fists, storm bolters and power fists? Google image search isn't bad, but it does get repetitive and I'm curious what other people have done. Thanks!  I went with a somewhat unorthodox "reasonable marine" desert scheme. In keeping with that, my bolters are painted to have wood furniture and canvas or leather straps, like mid-20th century assault rifles. I did them coming from historicals so after years of painting brown and green army guys doing bright pastels just felt off to me.

I mean, Raptors are canonically Reasonable Marines? Also birbs: good. E: By way of critique, I know that them blending into the basing is kinda  but they seem to blend into the bases a little too well which I think is a shame because the work is really really good, but it's a little too samey?

Crosspostin’ a Gal Vorbak I’ll be proxying as a Greater Possessed for a Word Bearers detachment.  The red came out a little oversaturated on camera, which is hiding the edge highlights. Between this legion and the AdMech/Imperial Knights I’m doing Blood Angels contrast is putting in some work.

The metal is just vallejo steel with a couple of heavy nuln oil washes. The wood is... I think it was vallejo Terra? Again with a nuln oil wash. The armor is Army Painter Skeleton Bone, then a wash of Agrax Earthshade, then a coat of Karak Stone, being careful to miss the edges of the panels and recesses to keep them darker. Schadenboner posted:I mean, Raptors are canonically Reasonable Marines? I do agree on the bases. I tried to fix it a little bit by adding the Ultramarine Blue rim. Also as a way to get the canonical Ultramarine color in there.

For all the "THE CODEX ASTARTES DOES NOT SUPPORT THIS ACTION" memery I think one of the original Rogue Trader books has Ultramarines in camouflage armor. E: Looks like I was thinking of a camouflaged Ultras rhino (Warhammer 40,000 Compendium, p. 79) while Badab War chapters are shown in variant color schemes (op. cit., 34-35). It's still A Thing That Space Marines Do.  Schadenboner fucked around with this message at 16:17 on May 9, 2020 |

I have the old 40k Compendium from 2nd edition or somewhere where it talks about some Chapters being perfectly fine with camouflage while others (like the Red Scorpions) utterly scoff at the thought. Also the point in time where the IG had Rhinos and not Chimeras as their transports.

Daemonhunter/Witchhunter Storm Troopers (3.5ish?) could also take Rhinos. I still wonder why Codex Xenohunter never came out, they even make off-hand reference to it as coming soon in (I think) one of the issues of Exterminatus Magazine (the Fanatic imprint for the Inqusitor 54 game).

Been working on a bunch of stuff at once, jumping around as I get bored, as is my preference (bad habit) Couple weeks ago when it was mid-60's where I am, I primed a bunch of Riders of Rohan. Today it's snowing, so I decided to paint up a test model. Still working on it, but here's my progress so far. Really fun model to paint.  I finished these for Safety Factor's charity thread:     I've got an Invictor primed white, ready for some yellow, and a Redemptor that I'm chipping away at as well. I've adopted the "paint something every day" philosophy, even if it's something incredibly small and quick, I've been pretty consistent, helps when I have nowhere to go, and really nowhere to be atm

Painted my first greenskin and played around with Typhus Corrosion for the first time. Probably went a bit too ham with it, and drybrushing silver afterwards made all the grit stand out, but it was fun   Any ideas on how I could tone down the silver grit? Another drybrush, maybe with a brown color? Winklebottom fucked around with this message at 00:12 on May 10, 2020 |

Doing some highlights on the gold today; in the past I probably would have tried dry brushing especially with multiple models, but I did it all by hand this time   Also had a few annoying slips trying to find light or bumping another finger etc

Schadenboner posted:I mean, Raptors are canonically Reasonable Marines? I’m really interested in this topic. Are there any design tricks to make camouflage models on camouflage-appropriate terrain stand out? I know that’s kind of oxymoronic but you still want the models to pop and look cool. Maybe use a contrasting bit of flora to add visual dynamism?

Anyone have a good 'recipe' for fly eyes? I've tested a few methods and so far the best I've found has been basecoat silver with pearl highlights, black grid, and thin green contrast paint over it.

That's really tricky, fly eyes are faceted like gems. I'd probably consider stippling the paint with little dots and really sharp contrasts between colors?  Please excuse the MSPaint mockup, but maybe something like that: where you start really dark and then dot on colors without the usual blending and then do rows of white highlights so it looks like the light is catching tiny facets rather than a flat round surface. Edit: Or maybe flipped upside-down so its more gem-like in its contrasts? PoptartsNinja fucked around with this message at 17:12 on May 10, 2020 |

The more I work on them the more I realised I missed loads of tiny bastard fiddly details like belts and such. I don't know if I have a good off-white for teeth/bone either, I used VMC ivory but it feels too thick and too chalky at the same time.

what do people use to attach temporary pins for paint work on small pieces that aren’t on a sprue? just some putty or a more secure superglue connection?
