Ork boy squad completed with these final two dudes. Super satisfying seeing these guys come to life even with any shortcomings.  Night Danger Moose posted:Tried out a different colour scheme on my Vanquisher. The green is Angel Green from Army Painter, and it really did not want to go on top of Citadel's Runelord Brass. I can see it's a bit messy in a few spots but overall I like how it turned out.

I really really like the desaturated armour colour.

I figure I’ll read the codex a little first and see what others have as their configurations. People who don’t let you say “this weapon is actually this” especially when starting out, are not your friends. Plus, once you’ve painted more you won’t think twice about cruelly ripping off an arm to add a new one, honest!

Being completely new to the hobby this is reassuring info. I guess I suspected as much but I'm not over the hump of "you will mess these up, then you will buy more and mess those up less".

chippocrates posted:I've had a bit of an odd issue with my airbrush. Liquitex and DR make a watercolor pigment that comes in a similar bottle, if you spray that it just comes out like colored water and beads up and runs everywhere. I made that mistake once. Make sure your bottle says acrylic ink and not watercolor ink. I typically run ink straight from the bottle but you can easily stretch it by mixing it with airbrush medium. It also mixes into your normal mini paints to thin while providing very saturated colors.

Most players don't give a poo poo as long as you say before and are consistent. "this unit has all flamer pistols except for that one which has a plasma pistol" "ok"

If you're leaning real hard into proxies, it also helps to add a sticky note to the unit. We did this all the time in whfb and it was invaluable for remembering unmodelled upgrades.

Sticky note on the units seems like a very reasonable request for dealing with proxies and I’d never have an issue with that.

Exactly this. If you’re starting out, playing casual or narrative play or even a pickup game of matched play against 99.99% of people in this hobby the usual dialogue is something like: These guys all have bolters, this flamer guy though has a plasma gun Cool ok, man that flamer guy looks great mind if I have a closer look? Edit: I’d even go further to say for new painters and modellers, go for whatever the gently caress you want. Bolt guns akimbo? Whoops all melta? Tanks with the biggest and therefore coolest looking gun? loving go for it. The coolest and best but of this hobby is the bugfuck nuts poo poo people come up with when they do what they think is coolest. lenoon fucked around with this message at 20:18 on Feb 1, 2022 |

I constantly see this topic come up in 3d printing circles, people are afraid nobody will play with them because they don't use official GW minis.

 Here's a Frostgrave apprentice and wizard, both are all done aside from the bases. These guys were primed via airbrush with a gray primer (Ammo by Mig's One Shot), then I tried airbrushing a zenithal highlight with with white ink. Dunno how well that actually turned out, but I sprayed them with a satin varnish and then applied (mostly) Contrast paints. Pretty happy with how they came out.

As has been said, proxies are normally fine. My only issue is when it’s ‘ok flamers are plasma, these 2 chainswords are powerfists, except that one with the broken handle, that’s actually just a combat weapon, and heavy bolters in the elite squads are multi melters, except the unpainted squad where they’re lascannons’ Like. 1 or 2 I think is fine, it’s when the whole army isn’t what it looks like that it gets annoying, having to ask over and over is eh

How do you all hold your rhino sized vehicles while painting them? I'm discovering to some horror that a), my fingers are rubbing paint off, and 2) I'm havingsome trouble getting an even coat and edge highlighting on this thing. I can see my brush strokes and water marks, which makes me think that my paint consistency is too low.

I can see my brush strokes and water marks, which makes me think that my paint consistency is too low. I've only painted a wave serpent in terms of big things these days but I put it on a piece of paper towel to spin it around on my desk and for some stuff I also wear a nitrile glove so I can gently hold the model without having my skin oils getting on the model, which is I assume the main way paint gets rubbed off. Painting big expanses of vehicles is hard with a brush so really just try doing less thin paint and see how it goes. Also I use a much bigger brush on vehicles so I have less strokes required.
