Excuse me that is absolutely good enough for the effort, that guy looks great. Love the wood gunstock, too. EDIT:  Next four Cadian Guardsmen done, one more to go! I gotta say, it sure isn't worth the price increase, but the new heads for these guys are nicely detailed and varied.

My other hobbies (of which most are probably middling interests...) are photography, guitar/ukulele/harmonica/drums/kalimba/jaw harp, drawing, video games, board game collecting, reading, blogging, writing. I also want to try and learn the bass, singing, harp, woodworking, learn Japanese, do 3D modeling again, and make music, produce, make a game, write a book, etc I also help take care of ducks. Anyone have more time in the day to do most of these while also working 50 hours a week and also wanting to exercise? I am way over budgeted on time. I thought I did a decent job on this and wanted to show it off

Militarum green contrast over everything except the leg wraps and gun Gore grunta fur over leather stuff, another coat of the green over the coat Wyldwood contrast over the pants, skeleton horde on leg wraps Leadbelcher on all metals, including shoulders. Two layers Black Templar contrast over the black metal stuff. One layer of Nuln oil over the bare metals. Top pack thing is ushabti bone with basilicanum grey contrast I tried to stick with a KISS principle and something easily replicated if I get more of them when/if they get a standalone release.

I've now field tested 3 brush cleaners. W&N and Masters are the winners for me, esp when used together. Vallejo isn't nearly as good.

I was just thinking that if I ever did guard I might want to use the colonial marines scheme from Aliens since I loved that movie so much as a kid and picked up Fireteam Elite over the weekend. This scheme looks like it could get ~90% of the way there.

Hello i've been lurking a long while and I recently went back into covid lockdown, and i had a box of Warhams from a few months ago I forgot about. I haven't painted models before aside from a single salamander when I was a teen but I'm pretty happy with how these came out and wanted to share  I wasn't sure what colour scheme I wanted to paint with these dudes but I didn't want to do the traditional bog-standard necron. I found one called Nephrekh and thought the phrase "their phalanxes march to war in gilded bodies of living metagold" sounded rad as gently caress so I ran with it - going for a grubby white to complement the gold - almost like it *used* to be gleaming white and polished gold but its faded and busted now due to the necrons being what they are     I don't have a lot of paints due to being on lockdown - literally only the citadel starter box, a black primer can and a few brushes but I managed to get this together with the paints there. I've got a few blood angels I'm working on too but those are still ages away. The OP was very useful still! Solus fucked around with this message at 08:47 on Sep 3, 2021 |

Took me a while, but I finally finished Yndrasta. In an attempt to start a Great Oil Adventure, I've painted the wings with oil paint, it's the first time I've used them for something besides washes. The oil is still pretty shiny, I need to figure out what to do about that, besides varnishing.

Been working on this little guy for a bit and really happy with the result so far, but feel like I could take it up a notch. Would love some feedback on what could be improved as I really like the sculpt and want to do it justice. I'm a newish painter, so all C&C is welcome. Dragonskull Crab:

OoC I got the Tidal Knight and Magma Wolf this month which I think are actually sculpts from a couple of months ago. I'm a new subscriber so I didn't have them, but wanted to see if you had received those as well, or if you received a different set.

PotatoManJack posted:Just received my next box which is what spurred me to paint this guy. Yeah, those are the ones I got. All the subscriptions levels are tied to the adventures, so when you first subscribe, you get the first adventure of that "season" (I believe this is basically season three), and then you get the remaining adventures in order, with the associated extra physical bits depending on your sub level. So because I'm weird, I immediately grab the PDF of that month's module and try to guess what the minis will be. The Tabaxi pirate was kinda underwhelming to me, but I am STOKED to paint a dude wearing a horseshoe crab as armor/shield, and the crab and wolf look great.

The sculpt was definitely lacking in detail, but in comparison, the Tidal Knight looks great and is really unique looking; same goes for the Magma Wolf. I actually only get the minis and the online stuff as am on the 'Minis in a Box' package as opposed to the full Dungeon in a Box pack. Either way, have been enjoying the surprise every month.

Finally pulled the trigger and got an airbrush. Played around with it today and it seems to go through paint quickly - is that normal?

Dienes posted:Finally pulled the trigger and got an airbrush. Played around with it today and it seems to go through paint quickly - is that normal? Yep, it certainly can. The higher your PSI, the larger your needle, and the more you pull back on the trigger the more paint you'll use. Reduce these and you use less paint.

Dienes posted:Finally pulled the trigger and got an airbrush. Played around with it today and it seems to go through paint quickly - is that normal? 15-25 PSI is a good normal range you might try. Thicker stuff like primer will go towards the high end, paint goes lower. Airbrush and technique depending of course. What you want is whatever you're spraying to properly aerosolize so you don't get wet paint hitting your working surface. You also don't want a patter of dots that slowly fills in, that's a combination of some part low PSI and some part too thick paint. Take 5 minutes for this, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jH5OHYfSq5A

I definitely blasted through paint the first time I used mine, you'll use less when you develop a lighter touch. Keep in mind you're potentially covering a huge area very quickly with an airbrush so it only makes sense that you're using a lot of paint.

Two co-op students gave me a thank you box of sushi themed socks. I obviously thanked them for the socks but what I didn't tell them was that I was more excited that the ridges in the faux Bento box makes it a perfect wet pallet.

mllaneza posted:15-25 PSI is a good normal range you might try. Thicker stuff like primer will go towards the high end, paint goes lower. I have been keeping my compressor at too high of a PSI. That will certainly help me with my technique! It defaults to 30 PSI and I didn't think about lowering it when I started using a detail airbrush.
