armorer posted:I don't need the brushes, I have quite a few already. What I liked about the kit I went through already is that it gives good color recipes for different sections of the models, and it presents it all in a really cohesive way. It has you paint fabric, leather, chainmail, a few different skin tones, a blade, etc and walks you through which paints work well together as base/shadow/highlight. You can get about half that, ultimately. I'd do a search for Youtube videos on how to paint a particular model or type of model you're enamored of, but beyond that, there's not a lot of sets out there where you open the box and it gives you kind of a paint-by-numbers thing for the model within.

Ultimately that makes sense, I would imagine the vast majority of painters just want some new paint, or some new mini. In my case I'm just trying to get comfortable painting these things so the kits are a super easy way to get moving. Once I've painted more miniatures I'm sure I'll be more comfortable making my own plan of attack to paint, say, the aliens from Nemesis, or a few of my available Gloomhaven characters. I'm sure there are videos on youtube for painting those specific miniatures as well, given the widespread popularity of both games.

The beat-up synthetic fiber brush that you use for stippling or as a spatula seems like the hobby equivalent of your old pair of jeans with all the holes, where it's just something you've had for ages and you're not fully cognizant of where the thing came from at this point, but you'd never willingly part with it.

I'm starting my first attempt at really strong OSL and I'd like to get a more exact idea of where the light is hitting than eyeballing it. Does anybody know of any easy-ish way to do that with software? Or have general advice? My thought if software doesn't exist was to use a bunch of straightened tiny paperclips and sticky tack to physically map out the edges of the light and take a few reference pictures.

Crossposting from the conversion and kitbash thread. Need to sort a proper base for him, I just put him on a tiny one so I could use the handle. Drakenhof Nightshade is such a delight, kind of why I made this was because I like it for Vampire skin.

On a related note I'm still impressed at just how spot on the Dawn of War voice acting was for the Orks (and everything else really). I'm pretty sure that like 20 years later my internal reading of anything Warhammer 40k related is still in the Dawn of War voices.

Radiation Cow posted:Well, at least you're set for paints for forever. I'm curious about your thoughts, people seem generally positive about the range, but it's hard to tell how much of that is hype and how much is actual quality. Finished my first model with them:  I'm mostly satisfied with the paints. Whites ended up bit chalky, but that is mostly me not thinning down them enough. I was painting it over red and was bit too impatient... I'm used to mixing my own highlights, so using triads feel bit like cheating. Horse, metals and browns are speedpaint, rest AP-fanatics. The other horse is just speed-paint (that is going to be overpainted) + the 2 thinned coats of Daemonic Yellow on the shields.

Load the STL into blender and put a light at the lightsource. But honestly, just eyeball it. It's art, not science! And your eyeballs are actually really good at it anyway if you trust them.

Turn the lights off, put a small light exactly where you want the light source to be, take a picture of the model for reference If you want to nerd it up with CAD sure go ahead

I think I'm done with the main part of Leman Russ so here's some WIP shots of the progress last night where I finally painted the head. The armor was so much edge highlighting that I will never be scared by it again. Now to tackle the scenic base I didn't have the exact colors I wanted for the hair and face so I got a little artsy by mixing stuff together. It was really fun to just say gently caress it and mix things together by eye. Now that I'm seeing this I forgot to highlight the bone tassel in his hair but that's an easy fix   Buying a larger wet palette really came in handy for this. Oddly enough, the trick to painting blonde hair is to use a gold nmm color progression

After a little tinkering I was like "oh yeah duh" and then ended up mixing yellow into a golden brown and then mixing ice yellow into that mixture. I did some last highlights with ice yellow but it felt too valley girl so I toned it back down with a thin glaze of the previous highlight

I was painting my way through my stealer cult befor 10th/Leviathan dropped and distracted me painting that up and sorting the rest of my armies for 10th edition. I got back to them and painted up some bikers, their alphus and some little guys  I then immediately got distracted painting more Leviathan nids     The second screamer killer was an attempt to make it different to the base leviathan one, the arms are all swapped around and the carapace plate added to the head. I didn't realise until I was painting it that the arms are different on top and bottom but got lucky in matching them all anyway.

Anyone tried Newsh medium? Looks like an interesting sidegrade instead of oil washes. maybe just enough differences that the two could be used together for the best properties of each. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YqThV2Q1EG0

Speaking of Monument hobbies, it actually looks like they’re debuting 3 new sets at Adepticon: A gold NMM set Rogue Hobbies’ punch you in the face bright colours set & an adepticon branded set with a bunch of awesome browns, oxides and holy poo poo, I can’t believe they actually did it, finally, a somewhat satin black. Now all I need to do is check how much a round trip plane ticket from Melbourne Australia to Chicago is and-

I'm trying to figure out if there's something wrong with my Vallejo Game Color batch. Some of the colors don't seem to want to play well with becoming a shade or glaze. If I add a single brush load of water, the pigment in the paint begins to almost dissolve? Here's how it looks:   I tested some old Citadel paints (base and layer) and they don't have the issue, no matter how much water I add:   The split pigment effects the model when it dries. It kind of looks like little dots all over where I applied it. I've tried mixing with steel balls, but that doesn't seem to help. I know you can use a medium instead of water, but should I have to? I rarely see anyone use mediums when glazing or watering down the paint, and again, the Citadel paints (4 years old at this point) don't do that.

I think you need to thin the paint more; it still looks like it was dry brushed rather than stippled. The white paint probably doesn't help either. A slight off-white like a bone or grey might be easier worth trying. Contrast marines tests. Really wish I hadn't glued them to their bases, it makes basing them a pain in the rear end.   Progress on the blight hauler. I cleaned up the stippling a bit to make it less pronounced and have highlights instead of purely mottled, and I'm trying to create a focal point near the eye. The verdigris and rust are works in progress. Not sure whether to go for an eye of Sauron type-look or more like an animal eye.

A Q-tip and some folded corners of paper towels dipped in 91% isopropyl seem to have done the trick quite well. My Felarch's eye lens is clean and ready for a do-over. It wasn't laser-precise of course but I don't foresee any difficulty simply repainting the faceplate where the scrubbing strayed. I think even 70% iso like in a common alcohol wipe would have done it. I'm happy enough with this I'm gonna try it on a Sister's eye that beaded up a little.

Does anyone have a good method for doing rusted/weathered painted metal? I'm getting the appropriate look on the bare metal parts of my Necromunda terrain with a mix of the typhus/ryza method and pigment powders, but once in-universe paint is involved I'm pretty lost. I'd rather not gently caress around with chipping medium unless there's really no other way.
