These own so hard

I'm having fun trying to place all the bitz. Marauder horsemen, zombie, kroot, space marines, imperial guard command, beastmen...and does that bottom guy have a gaunt head?

Yup, its from a ripper actually. I wished I hade more of them, especially the ones with closed mouths cause I really like the way it looks and I wanted one of my unks to have that face.

I've had a lot of fun doing these and I actually found that I keep making new snagas even though I only need two of them. I'm glad I got a horse for each kroot cause this could easily turn into an obsession :keke:

Gorkamorka mob. Sorry for lovely lighting and un-finished bases







Man, orks are so fun to paint! All those "harsh" details like the muscle fibres and the tusks are really easy to paint and not have them look like poo poo.

Paintingoons, I need your help!





I know the lighting isn't optimal, but I need some input. I'm not happy about the skin (most rest of the model isn't finished either) and I can't really put my finger on it. Maybe the contrast on the highlight is to harsh? Could I fix it with a watered down purple wash?

I'm not used to spending that much time on skin, I usually just do a coat or two followed by a wash, but that didn't give me the result I wanted.

gently caress, I wish I had some empty pots, having to mix all the layers as I go takes loving forever!

edit: not sure about the green either, but I had to stear clea of light and dark browns so the the entire model (+ base) is the same color

A little cross-postin here. Sorry about that, but I just remembered there is an actual painting thread :downs:

I need some feedback on stormvermin color scheme. Old school dark red armor with black fur or white fur with green robes and bronze/gold armor?

Please ignore the rough brush strokes, I was just slathering on some paint on the front of the mini to get a feel of the scheme.

I also got some input to do the armor like the left one, but paint the cloth red, but I haven't tried it in practice yet. Gonna do it right now and post a pic of that as well.

After ordering some confrontation wulfen to use as treekin I realized the models are pre-painted :v:

Does anyone here have experience with stripping rackham minis? Can I do it just the same way I strip GW minis or are they made of some sort of wax-plastic that will melt if I so much as put it under hot water?

Try putting one into the simple green, it should be ok, hell if its resin you could even use break fluid and quite often they survive.

I'm in Norway so simple green is not available to me. I'll try with pine-sol and see what happens

I'm in the process of building a plague claw catapult and would like some feedback. Its based on a Couldron of 1000 poxes which is based on the old 5th ed screaming bell carriage and a DE couldron of blood.





Made the arm from bits of 40k vehicles before I got my hands on the balsa wood


With the couldron from the new screaming bell


The old couldron. It looks bigger and more bad rear end, but it weighs a ton compared to the plastic and the balsa wood, so it probably won't hold very long. I might stick this on my screaming bell instead.


I'm going to add more screws and metal plates and such on the balsa wood, kind of like on the new screaming bell carriage. Need to find a good way to make nails/rivets as well.

I haven't found a suitable counter-weight yet and the release mechanism is going to be maybe chains or thread if I can get some to look like rope instead of thread.

Any ideas or comments? This is my first time using balsa wood and plastic card, so even basic advice would be welcomed.

Agreeing with PV, painting miniatures is a skill that you get after hours of practice, just like kicking a football or skiing. The more you do it, the more your muscles will be used to working like that and you'll have more control over it.

Don't spend 10 hours on one model and try to make it perfect. Instead, spend 100 hours on 100 models and even then you've just started to get the basic hang of it.

Also, don't paint while hungry.

Hey guys, I picked up the GW woods set for Fantasy, and I'm thinking of painting the bark white, like birch. Any ideas how to pull it off?

Not sure if we're talking about the same type of tree, but I painted some of my dryads like this: white undercoat, badab black, light dab of asurmen blue and gryphonne sepia here and there.

Just finished the yellow, so the next step is going over all the edges and scratches with silver. That'll also help define the random unpainted plates and show off the shape a little better.

I think these look a lot better now with paints on them.

Hey, I painted a miniature. Behold my WHFRP character, the mighty Norsecan warrior Arkfel Goblincleaver, and his powerful thews!

The red base is to pick him out easier on the tabletop. I'm pretty happy with the muscles, my first real experiment with proper skin.

I like it! On the other hand, my solution to painting skin is pallid flesh + ogryn wash, so what do I know :pseudo:

I need a gimmick to stuff inside this baneblade. There is way too much empty space in it to not use it.

A small mp3-player with a speaker. You can get some engine noise on tape or play ride of the valkyrie or something the crew would listen to while you drive the tank around. Some russian choir music would sound pretty imperialistic.
