And from the rumors that won't be until next year at least. But yeah, got no intentions of dropping 1800SEK/€195 on GW stuff anytime soon. I mean I can't even paint what I have right now because my room has no floor and I live in a corner of the basement tv-room without any space for paints.

Yeah I'm not gonna spend $300 on the official store for stuff I can get 20% cheaper at local places. I'm not upset at not getting a space marine either

I think if you're already spending that much on Space Marines, awesome. Here's cool Sergeant Cutscene. If you REALLY want him, he'll be up on Ebay alongside the WHTV Vindicare Assassin anyway.

Eh, this might convince me to order a couple of Imperial Knights and print off the parts to make them into Magaeras. The one I ordered at the start of the month still hasn't shipped, and they're out of stock now.

I don't see what's supposed to be so cool about that miniature, it's literally just a Primaris Captain.

Dead Nerve posted:I've got my old minis and the ones I've recently been painting up in old egg cartons. Great way to keep dust off them and works out great for troops. One day I hope to upgrade to the versatile foam KR Multicases but they're quite the investment but seem worth it. Oooooooh, as an ork player and chef I love this. A 180 egg box would be a fantastic way to carry the waggggh heavys in the bottom and trays of orks above, just need to give the box a nice bash into a spacehulk looking thing.

I still have very little idea how to play the game (been playing some TTS during lockdown) but I couldn't resist the siren song of the Imperial Knights     White is a bitch to paint and its a little streaky still but i think half of that is the gross washes i've done over it

!Klams posted:Ooooh, what's the recipe for the green here? Nothing too crazy. Airbrushed a basecoat of Caliban Green, very light zenithal highlight of warpstone green so I could visualize the shadows, put a 50:50 mix of that and Rhinox brown into recessed and dark areas, and finished off with a warpstone green-->moot green blend around edges and cracks as best I could. I'm a but of a sloppy painter but I do enjoy how it looks after I've worked it out. You could probably do final highlights with a yellow here or there too if you're confident.

Cross-asking from mini painting thread.quote:Quick thought check: still very, very slowly working on those Assault Intercessors. Incubi Darkness armor with Zandri Dust (?) bone accents (whatever the Dark Angels method is, I'm forgetting the name). Thinking about how to mark out the sergeant; full red helm Ultramarines-style likely to look any good with Incubi Darkness? Maybe a marginally darker red but that's the idea at the moment at least. Been having issues with my wet palette not keeping a decent consistency for paints very well so don't want to go for something freehand quite yet on the helmet. Maybe on the shoulder shield (those totally have a name I'm blanking on...) though. One day I'll get through these five guys and be able to move onto something new. Trying to kitbash Primaris characters seems... interesting, so far, with how monopose everything is and the lack of backwards compatibility. Guess I'll see how that part goes when I come to it.

It’s very odd dealing with the monopose new ork boyz and the multi option kommandos. They could have very easily made the new ork boyz kit replace the old one but chose to not. Oh well they still look nice mixed together.

Calling it quits on my first model  Don't really plan on buying many Boyz if/when I expand my Ork collection, this was more of a POC for my scheme I will say, Skeleton Horde for the leather pouch against Iyoden Yellow or whatever it's called isn't stark enough, so I guess I'll just some actual brown paint going forward. Also got lazy and didn't edge highlight the black leather bits as much as I should but whatever. Just happy to get a model done. As an aside....  Are you really even painting if you aren't spilling Nuln Oil everywhere?

Oh well they still look nice mixed together. Finally had a chance to start putting my combat patrol together and these push-fit models are great for painting as sub-assemblies. I've left the warboss and koptas partly unglued but can still prime them fully assembled. My theory on why this new Ork stuff is push-fit is that GW are going to sell it separately as some kind of easy-to-build kits, possibly rebooting the old Battle for Vedros line or as part of their warhammer school club thing. Basically a range aimed at brand new hobbyists who've never put miniatures together before or just want a simple pickup & play game with them.

Issue spare heads or or clip on armor would have gone a long way to break up the static look. So far I’ve built 8, 2 each of 4 models and spent a little time swapping heads, weapons and armor. It’s not impossible if you got bits. Doesn’t look like a ballerina class quite so much now.

ro5s posted:Rather than red a bone helmet would probably mark a sergeant well whilst fitting DA's general aesthetic. Sorry, to clarify, I'm not doing Dark Angels, I'm just using the DA bone recipe. I'm using Blood Angels for rules & homebrew fluff. Regular armor is Incubi Darkness with the bone in the shoulder infill and the faceplates, plus other detail where appropriate (on my test model I already painted the kneecaps, else I'd do that...). edit: Well, test painting the helmets went... badly. Every part of painting these marines has gone badly, actually, but that was probably the least successful of the whole part. I wish I could just partner up with someone who hated building and loved painting, I only get any joy out of the building process and none out of the painting process.

 I painted a second Knight (Red one on the left) - Took me about....45 minutes to assemble and then 8 hours to paint. Was a good use of my weekend I think. I've decided if/when I get more I'm gonna paint them all up freeblade style because I don't like any of the canon houses styles and I want them all to look relatively unique. That being said, If I get another Armiger then I need to paint one like a Volkswagen Harlequin

Those all look great! The wear on the Indomitus guys is really good. The transfers look terrific, too- that’s something I’m definitely wary of doing, and am probably going to freehand mine, drat the results. The idea of freebooter knights is cool and very Pacific Rim.

Finished up my first Tyranid unit. Not my best work but as good as I’m going to get with these old models. Too many mould lines for my liking too, but I spent ages removing them and just kept finding more. The Stirland Mud turned out to be a bit of a let down too, but I’m going to acquire some Stirland Battlemire when I can and see if using both produces better results. Working on the Broodlord now and it’s already shaping up to be much better.

jesus WEP posted:nice nids! Yeah, I know GW sells it as "just apply it and go!" and while technically the model counts as "based" it looks crap. What you really need to do is match the base colour to a GW colour, put a wash over the base, and then dry brush it the original colour, and then lightly dry brush it a slightly lighter colour. Then you'll end up with something that looks half decent with not much effort. My grey Knights are based using this method and the bases look "OK". To be honey my guardsmen and chaos based on bits of slate look a lot better with similar if maybe very small amounts more effort.

also a big tub of vallejo texture paste costs probably somewhere in the region of 20% per unit of weight that Citadel stuff does. If you specifically want a crackly effect like mordant earth gives then Citadel might be your best option, but if you just want lumpy gritty paint, stirland battlemire or whatever is breathtakingly expensive

Thanks for the feedback and info regarding basing - it’s just a shame because I’ve used the Martian ones with my Necrons and they look quite nice. Another thing I did do that I forgot to mention was I’ve used 32mm adapter rings to increase the base size. The genestealers come on slotted 25mm bases and frankly looked absurd.

The Vallejo medium has a lot more 'body' and will stick up and form waves rather than shrinking down to leave a carpet of texture. It's great if you need to disguise the edge of a base or some messy basework, less so if you want a more subdued ground effect.

If you specifically want a crackly effect like mordant earth gives then Citadel might be your best option, but if you just want lumpy gritty paint, stirland battlemire or whatever is breathtakingly expensive It seems that you can get some of the crackly effect from using a mixture of cornstarch and acrylic paint. Midwinter Minis did a long video of various household items - ground up when necessary - mixed with a cheap paint to use as alternatives and the cornstarch gave a crackly effect and was the best of the lot. @18:13 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTN-kkbgPe8 Alternatively, a number of places sell a "crackle paste medium" - which is what it says on the tin. Dollop a bunch out to mix with paint, put it on the base, drybrush with the light tints of the paint you used with the medium, bish, bash, bosh, you're done. Theoretically - I haven't tried it out yet myself. There's a number of different ways to mimic the lumpy, gritty stuff. Here's some stuff about it. Maybe this stucco paste medium with some sand mixed in it could do the job.

I was disappointed that the new model doesn't have the chaplain's skull helmet until I looked back at the original Grimaldus model and noticed that he didn't have it either. I guess I must have gotten that mental image from Helsreach. If I were buying that model I'd definitely head swap with a regular Chaplain's helmet...you just can't get more badass than that.

I was gonna do Salamanders for my Marines but with a lack of flamer/hammer weapons available besides those goddamn upgrade packs and being unable to edge highlight my green marines well enough, these rad Templars are the medieval freaks I've always wanted but Grey Knights couldn't sate (due to a continuing aversion to Primaris scale)
