w00tmonger posted:If I had to pick 1 primer nowadays I'm going grey. Being a lighter. Plot allows you to do some really cool poo poo wish washes etc. Black sucks for painting a lot of colors, and if you need dark crevices you can always wash with a black or brown. I painted all my Kharadron troops grey, black Templar then painted each mini with leadbelcher and that necron drybrush paint. Then I just glaze or wash colour onto it. Takes no time at all and I reckon they look amazing. Glazing was new to me last year and now I use it all the time. Works especially well with the grey primer and black or brown wash.

Bashed a Primaris Captain and a Watchmaster together thanks to a couple of helpful inspirational guides online. He's got some real Hulk Hogan Pointing energy.  I'm going to try and make the base textures look a little bit like the Necron was dragging himself across the dirt before the Watchmaster came by and stepped on him.

The Necrons head is one of the two options that you get with the Lokhust Heavy Destroyer. But it's just the face panel so I had to roll up a small ball of greenstuff to make the rest of its head and give the neck something to kind of attach to.

Gentleman Blogger posted:So, on that note, I've never really spoken here about this, but I had a fellow goon, A Mean Cow, aka 3T Studios, aka Zephan Kirkpatrick from Arizona, make me a sweet loving stage for my GWAR Miniature Game minis, which I had professionally painted. I paid him in full, and even got completion photos from him  holy poo poo tht stage rules! I had no idea there were GWAR minis! That really stinks you got screwed on that, especially after being given pictures. It reminds me of my friend who got me into hams that painted a noise marine squad to look like the Misfits.Edit: Just looked up his previous work and his terrain is stunning. He was lauded as one of the best terrain makers around too. Kabuki Shipoopi fucked around with this message at 09:50 on Feb 3, 2021 |

Rapidly approaching the final stages of my Tzaangors and Pink Horrors. Just a few finishing touches, some details touched up, and a drybrush of the basing and I should be good to go.     I used this from the OOP Tzeentch battletome:  ton of great schemes in there, if I do more Tzaangors, I might go pink

I'd like to try painting black armor so my goal is to prime black, apply a white zenithal and then apply 6 or 8 layers of very thinned down Corvus Black / German grey ; so the light reflection would work through transparency hopefully. Would that work? I believe I should let each layer fully dry, would 20 minutes be enough between each?

I finished painting a warband for Frostgrave, then completely botched taking pictures of most of them, so I'll post all the normal soldiers sometimes tomorrow. They're already varnished, so my camera is picking up the dusty look and I hate it. The wizard, a Doomseeker from The Other Side.  The apprentice, also a Doomseeker.  A (Dark) Templar/Captain. A Sister of Silence was perfect for this.  A couple of animated skulls.

With Korghos Khul done today, that makes 1 full Start Collecting box DONE in 4 days. WHEW. I've never painted so much in my life, but I learned a lot, and considering how proud I am of how Khul turned out, I think some of my techniques have improved. As always, ignore the drying terrain paint. And the full box  Three more of those and I'll have a full Khorne AOS army!

This is one of the coolest things I've seen in years.

just got my order from darksword miniatures and i want to paint but im pretty sure i have to clean my airbrushes to prime and i hate that. i leave them submerged in a rinse cup of airbrush cleaner, water, and old paint and this strategy has served me well for a couple of months but i think my luck is running out. anyone have a recommendation for a cheap enough airbrush i can just throw away every 2 months instead of cleaning?

Is there a harbor freight near you? They have a pretty garbage compressor, but the brush is a bit better when hooked up to something with a pressure regulator. I think they even do a 6 pack of the airbrushes.

Be sure and get a compressor with a tank, it keeps your pressure levels even.

i have a badger compressor and a patriot 105 and a renegade velocity (this one i use 99% of the time) currently. ill buy one of those harbor freight ones and just see if it works well enough for zenithal priming because that's the vast majority of what i use the airbrushes for.

It looks like it would be a decent enough option for priming and maybe basecoating. It comes with 5 color cups so once you use them all you could just get another one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZUSp65bY1c&t=928s

really my only concern would be do they output too much paint for the minis? my patriot 105 burns through paint like nobody's business so i barely use it

Turns out they have a version for 10 bucks with glass bottles too. https://www.harborfreight.com/34-and-3-oz-airbrush-kit-62294.html I could really see myself grabbing one of those if I could with a price tag like that.

jarofpiss posted:anyone have a recommendation for a cheap enough airbrush i can just throw away every 2 months instead of cleaning? It's not the cheapest of cheap brushes, but I'm a big fan of the Paasche H, with the additional side-cup. What makes it great is it's dead loving simple to operate and disassemble, is built like a tank, and you can clean it in about 10 seconds flat. The parts are so chunky that there are no fiddly bits to disassemble, and it's single-action external mix, which means there is no inside of the airbrush to get dirty or gently caress the seals up. All you do is basically slide that cone shaped bit out, give it a swab, and done. It's perfect for priming, basing, varnishing, anything you don't want to mess your prime airbrush up with. And really, it's a decent airbrush overall. It's primitive by todays standards, but it was the brush used to paint the Predator and Alien suits, Jurassic Park animatronics, Terminator makeup, basically all the effects work done on films in the 80's and 90's, and still up to this day. Pros love it because it's dead simple, and it get the job done. Cheap too, I've seen it as low as $30 from time to time. There are kits of to with more options and features if needed, but the lone brush and a side-cup with do everything you need it to. https://www.paascheairbrush.com/product/h-airbrush-only/ https://www.paascheairbrush.com/product/h-14-oz/

Note that it's single action, external mix, so don't try doing anything fancy with it, these are strictly for broad strokes and basecoats.
