The pawsting business is tough work.
I just dump my crap on Imgur, but as we've seen in the past few weeks, relying on third-party hosting sites is maybe not the cleverest idea.










I would love critique on these guys.

What a fuckin' thing I did to myself. I originally decided to paint all these dorks in one go, to see how quick I could hammer out black armor. That part went great! Spray black-grey, shade with Payne's grey, highlight with some French blue. Did the whole lot in under an hour. Everything else took the better part of two weeks, which was extremely frustrating. On top of that, I'm struggling with a new camera and finding out it can really only focus on about the center ninth of the entire sensor, which is super rad. Anyway, they're done with and that's always the most important part.

One of these days I'm going to paint mine of the above, I just need to paint more. Yours look clean and the two tone is interesting and good.

I updated my blog I'm using to put notes and photos and apparently in the last 6 months I've "completed" 54 minis. Crazy. But I need to do more than 9 minis a month, my next goal is 15 a month.

However video games are getting in the way now...

Nah, isopropyl is fine. It's a very volatile chemical (evaporates quicky) but doesn't have any particulates that can gently caress up your lungs. If you decide to huff the bottle you may get a bit dizzy, but that's about it.

Got a starter box for Warhammer and painted minis for the first time in my life:




Decided to strip them and try again with more colors:




Few things i need to learn:
- scrape mould lines
- figure out how to use agarx earthshade and nuln oil
- thin my paints more

But i really like it, it's a pretty chill hobby. Already got a bunch of necrons to paint and got the Kill Team Ocatarius box.

I like to listen to Trapped Under Plastic or watch an anime or movie/tv show or listen to an audio book.

I've been at this for less than 2 years and I want to say the answer to "how to use X paint" is always "use less". Obviously there are exceptions, but my personally best paint jobs are were I used the wash to "dab" rather than slap the mini with a brush full of wash.

I am planning on doing something similar with my Gellerpox monster where the flames in his stomach will glow under his face, it’s gonna be a challenge since I don’t have an airbrush but I might be able to pull it off with the dry brush

Well good news, that's not airbrush! It's the even easier way to do things: oil paints.

This is rad as hell.

Out of curiosity, what was your issue with the poster putty? I've masked a bunch of stuff with blue tack without any problems, but now I'm kinda paranoid.

I think it was the fact that my oils were not fully cured. I have stuck things together that were painted with acrylics but not done (my Chaos Knights for example) to play games and had no issues, but in this case, it ripped off huge chunks of paint that I had to fix. Lesson learned!

If you want oils, check out James Wappel. His video production values aren't as good but he has tons and tons of videos. Many of them are long streams of him painting models start to finish or just experimenting. Marco actually refers to his stuff a few times.

Hey guys my Into the dark set is gonna be here in around three weeks, is there any guide for painting all that terrain efficiently? I don’t want to end up running out of miniature paint quickly since shipping all that rear end blasted me cost wise.

Preferably I like the rusted look but if using regular metal is more efficient then fine. I have no problems putting detail where it matters I just want to be effective and efficient.

Thanks!

For terrain you absolutely should be using rattlecans for your base cost.

All of my priming for everything will be done with rattle cans, I got absolutely loving wrecked cost wise shipping those loving things because they’re considered ‘dangerous material’ (flammable aerosol spray cans) so only DHL would ship them, I tried my best to find a local replacement at the art and hardware stores here but no dice, so I’m going to get all the value I possibly can out of them.

I bought the following paint sets:-

GW 40k starter set

Army Painter rattle cans (white, grey, black matte)

Vallejo basic colors set - fantasy battle colors set - game color washes set - skin colors set - metallic colors set.

Army Painter quick washes set.

Yes I bought in bulk because of both big discounts and shipping them all at once is far cheaper for me than realizing I forgot something then having to go through the shipping process again, I don’t have the luxury of Amazon prime type thing since I don’t live in America.

It sucks that your hardware store/art store don't carry a variety of colors, sounds like you're not near a hobby store either.

This could be your sign to eventually jump into air brush but that's a big leap I know.

Lol that’s too big a leap for me, there are airbrushes here but too expensive especially for a newbie like me who hasn’t painted a space marine since 2000 the cost of buying those paints and shipping them is cheaper than buying an airbrush machine.

When I move to a new place that allows me a hobby room to mess in then I’ll look into it for sure.

Sounds good, craft paints like normal acrylics/oils or what? Do craft paints come in metal and rust? It would help if you posted an example so I can look for it in the stores

I slapped together the guitar ghost for the contest.

I've been messing with mixing something I can use like Contrasts out of stuff that I already have, and I think I'm getting to a good place with it. I used it on this one, and the bat monster I posted a while ago. It's just ink, Army Painter Quickeshade Wash Mixing Medium and a little water.

This.

Painting all that terrain would use up huge amounts of mini paint and wash which costs a lot per ml. You can almost certainly pick up big tubes of acrylic craft paint for the local equivalent of £1ish per tube. Its not great for figures but its absolutely fine for terrain. Or, check out hardware stores and pick up tester pots of their wall paint, a lot of my terrain is painted with those. I'm not saying dont use any mini paints on terrain ever, if there is like a particular detail you want to pick out in macragge blue or whatever, fine. But the bulk of your terrain should be undercoated with a cheap rattle can, painted with cheap hobby paint, washed with watered down cheap hobby paint (or an oil wash if you want to go that route. It looks good but I cant always be bothered with it myself), and drybrushed with cheap craft paint.

Also get yourself some cheap paintbrushes. Big ones. Not like "paint my house" big, but "Hand this to little Billy and he can paint on the poster paper while we watch TV" big. Trying to cover a lot of terrain with your #1 mini basecoating brush is like trying to clean your bathroom with a toothbrush, and will be hard on the brush too. If you get a pack of a variety of sizes you can use the smaller ones for other dirty jobs like applying PVA glue to bases (and also again oil washes). Its super handy to have a few brushes you officially dont have to give a poo poo about keeping nice.

You might want to buy a couple of cheap makeup brushes for drybrushing, they do a power of work particularly on big pieces.

I'm not going to try and give specific advice on the into the dark set, as I havent painted it. But I'm 100% sure if you search for it on youtube a million youtubers have, so have a browse and see what colour schemes you like/techniques you can steal. And/or just browse hobby youtube to get tips on painting rust and weathering terrain. If "Rusty as all gently caress" is what you are looking for, check out Billmakesstuff, I think erics hobby workshow is/was doing some stuff with the into the dark terrain, there are a million and one of them.
