    Building a terrain set for my home, primarily for Infinity. Picked up this small building from Amazon for $14. Built it up pretty easy, took about 30 minutes to paint using almost entirely the airbrush.

I didn't even realize that it was made out of laser-cut MDF until I clicked the Amazon link. Really great airbrush paint job on that building.

Bottom Liner posted:Link? If what you are looking for isn't that specific set, but just some nice laser cut MDF scenery, I would recommend Death Ray Designs.  I haven't ever heard anything bad about them, and when I wanted bases that were slightly larger that their listing, they gladly made the adjustment and custom cut my order. They use both MDF and acrylic, and honestly I think that how it fully buys into the "easy and quick to make" terrain with colored plastic bits is great. https://deathraydesigns.com/ edit: Also, I have to mention that regarding the bases I was talking about, I loving love that product. They have a variety of paintable base inserts, but not made of resin. They're cut from thin sheets of acrylic and you punch them out of a sheet and sometimes layer them. Not only is this extremely cost effective relative to resin bases (if you're the type, like me), but it also provides much more flat area on top, which I find useful for attaching the mini to the base. Anyway don't wanna be a shill but when it comes to laser cut and 3D printed minis stuff I feel a thing about this product relative to other products. signalnoise fucked around with this message at 10:11 on Sep 28, 2021 |

More adventures in oil. I really need to read up on my color theory with this stuff. Everything has different transparencies , but at least it's in a standardized system, so everything reacts with other colors, and the undercoat, in fun ways. This guy has a red-brown acrylic coat on the shield, and a cream colored coat on the cloth. It makes blending the oils on top of them much easier, without the risk of getting the white undercoat to show through.  This guy does not have any acrylics on it, and painting the red was a pain in the rear end.  Acrylic undercoats are great! Unfortunately, I'm trying to get the technique down and really figure out oils, so I'll be doing a lot of minis with nothing but oils.

 Here’s an update on my plaguey boys. The heavy dry brush and wash combo worked well to make them look rusty and oozey. They’re a little more saturated than I wanted so I may try to tone it back down a little with diluted dark grey wash. Bottom Liner fucked around with this message at 18:53 on Sep 28, 2021 |

I really like the colours, very mildewy. Just looks a tiny bit chalky, but the wash should fix that. They're definitely not too bright though, the tones are great. If you can find a way to make them (or at least bits of them) a little more "gooey" then you've got a winner. Getting all nostalgic now, my first (brief) regular(ish) opponent back in the day had a plague marine chaos army. Unpainted, of course. Best chaos marines. God I used to love setting them on fire with the late 2nd edition Hellhound.

Wow yesss that's absolutely amazing work! I love it.Decorus posted:Please post pictures of your dogriders once they're done! Pages back, but this has taken me forever! I've got one done. It's kinda a test paint - my goal was to use "Moebius-like" colors.   Surprise surprise, painting bright without being able to hide all my mistakes under a dark wash is hard! I have no idea if this is working, or if it looks good at all. I've been staring at it so long I can't tell if it ever came out of the "this looks like garbage" phase. But I'm calling it done, for now, and I'd love to see what y'all think.

Thanks everybody, I really did stick as close as possible to the box art scheme. 20-30 more hours on it might hit heavy metal quality but Im ready to move on! Geisladisk posted:Manny von C. To be honest this model is kind of dumb, it was a chore to paint and I phoned it in a little. Undead/Vampires were always my favorite factions but I agree about the mortarchs steed and the morghasts. Something about them feels kinda off. Like they should be cool, but it’s a miss.

I think he did all his coloring with watercolors so if I was trying to do a Moebius color scheme (which is a bitchin' idea) I'd prime pure white and then use very thin translucent colors, you could use washes, inks or even contrast, although I would thin all of them out with extra medium because except for a few colors they're all too saturated.. Maybe even follow up with even lighter, or even white highlights.

Like they should be cool, but it’s a miss. Yeah this model is a bit of a mess. I can see what they were going for - Mannfred dropping from the sky on his magically levitating nightmare mount. All the Mortarchs themselves are really cool. There is a lot of motion in them, and the models are good and appropriately regal. But.. the mount is almost entirely static. It's posture reminds me of nothing so much as a dog taking a nap lying on it's side. There is absolutely no sense of motion there. This is made worse by the fact that it has no wings of any kind, as it is clearly intended to levitate magically. So... the end result is that you have this really dynamic rider that looks like he is posing on top of a completely static mount. The design of the mount is also pretty bad and miserable to paint. It is way overloaded with detail. It's tummy is full of skulls for some reason?? Also - And this is no fault of the sculptors - It's design no longer fits into it's faction. The model contains elements of both Bonereapers in the design of the mount and Nighthaunt in the ghosts, which makes sense because these two things were part of the same faction when the model was released; But since then, they've gone their own separate ways. So... the model no longer really feels like a party of it's army.

On the TTC paints kickstarter note, as someone who would like to get into miniature painting would it be worth backing the full line pledge just to have a bevy of options instead of occasionally going to my hobby store and going "ah shoot I also needed <color>"? All of my painting so far has been gunpla and scale model kits with an airbrush and so nearly all of my paints are pre-thinned and not useful for miniature painting. Seems like it could be a good idea to drop ~$200 on a full line kind of like a gym membership to force me into learning, but also to have every option available when I do go to paint.

I'm an idiot What paints do you currently use? Vallejo airbrush marketed paint should be fine for miniature painting, you might need to do a few thin coats in the worst case* *the worst case for your patience but ironically the best case for the finish of the model

Vallejo airbrush is exactly what I use and it ranges from the darker shades being perfectly thin to things like white or light tan being really thin. The white is almost unusable but I am also Mega Bad so it could just be that I am doing something wrong. This is dumb but when I watch videos their paint seems "creamy" and Vallejo airbrush feels "watery"

Seems like it could be a good idea to drop ~$200 on a full line kind of like a gym membership to force me into learning, but also to have every option available when I do go to paint. Getting the full kit is beyond overkill. However, getting a subset kit for general use would be a nice starting point. General use being: Main color wheel colors like red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple. Auxillary colors like black, white, grey, dark brown, light brown. Mini painting classics like dark metal, bright metal, brass gold. On almost any project you'll use a decent amount of those colors. If you want to fancy things up you can totally have a dark/medium/light version of each of those main colors like the TTC paints are aimed for. For example, on my Ork kommandos' clothes I use these different blue colors.  Then as you pick up projects you can totally justify getting paint for them, like I bought livery green just for extreme highlights on my Ork skin because I didn't think it was bright enough on my first few of them. Then I used some on the burna boy and yeah that dude glows. And then I got some fluorescent yellow ink last weekend to try out on some Ork skin as well. But I like getting random colors to try out and then have options for other stuff. Like I found that highlighting black with the cloudy blue/grey I use on my space wolves is actually pretty cool. And Iraqui Sand sucks for painting bases but is a really good skin highlight. While I'm here I'd like to recommend a few colors that have really good coverage and can be used for cool stuff: Vallejo Dark Sea Blue (it's a really dark bluish green) Vallejo Dark Sea Green (actually a nice mid grey) Vallejo Hexed Lichen (purple) Vallejo German Camo Brown. Coverage on this is amazing. Basically anything brown I paint has this as the base. Any of the Vallejo Metal colors. gently caress every other metal paint. Don't even bother, just use this. Dye it yellow to make gold. Except two metal paints that are actuslly good: p3 Necro gold and Deathless metal. Ironically their other metals kinda suck. Scale 75 has some OK gold colors but their steel colors suck. They do have some fun metallic pinks, emeralds, etc that are fun to use. Most of the contrast paints. Ok so I may be a Vallejo fanboy. But they're just so good, and cheaper than GW, and they're in dropper bottles. Spanish Manlove fucked around with this message at 15:38 on Sep 30, 2021 |

He's got a range of styles and I prefer the more strongly saturated stuff - but getting some lighter, closer to white shades in there will add definition. I'll keep working on it! Thanks for the feedback!

Bright, saturated colors are cool but have to be used the right way. Too many and it looks clownish, where your eyes just have so much information and don't know what to look at first. So they're best used to draw attention to specific parts of a model, like weapons, faces, etc. You can have multiple colors on something but have the most bright, saturated colors on aspects that you want to draw attention to. Check out Craft world studio, their stuff is a total rainbow of colors and tones but it looks coherent as they frame pieces well.

I'd say it's a bad idea to buy an entire range for two reasons: 1) You most likely won't use more than a third of such a set. Most painter ends up liking a specific palette of colours or you're painting a specific armour scheme etc. 2) Most likely you'll find paints from different brands that you like more. For example, I mainly prefer Vallejo. But I think their light greys and whites are bad. I like Army Painter's washes but I don't like most of their paints, and so on and so on.

I know Citadel makes a glowy green, orange, and I think blue; does anyone make a similar yellow? Like a florescent acrylic paint? I'm planning out my Sisters of Battle and thinking about their halos, but I'm not really good (or patient) enough for OSL. I thought at least if they looked kind of bright, like the Necron's weapons do in green, but in golden yellow it'd be cool. E: I'll probably just make them super shiny gold, now that I think about it.

Vallejo has fluorescent yellow, red, green, blue. They seem to work well as washes as their consistency is weird. Idk how they work through an airbrush. DalerRowney has fluorescent yellow ink. Haven't tried it yet but it is obnoxiously bright.
