Mondian posted:So I picked up Ultraforge's Greater Wardemon and was thinking about what to do with it. I've got a self righteous BA player nearby and I've been thinking about naming this demon Ka'Bandha to throw some mud in his face. Towards that end, I've been thinking of changing up his base and having him kneeling in front of some wrecked Blood Angels bike/dreadnought/etc but I'm not sure what'd be best. Any ideas? can you carve out that hand and have it gripping the semi-crushed torso of that golden seraphim jackass BA guy who's name I forget? Maybe stick a broken wing under its hoof? I guess that's a lot of dremmeling.

Toussaint Louverture posted:So I was talking to an older guy who also painted and he was talking about how he was planning on getting his kid into modeling and playing and I started wondering whether I would even want my kid to start with all this. The only reason I continue panting is because I got good enough that I feel like giving it up would be a waste. You could do both. If he fails to drill a barrel, have him run a mile. If he doesn't fill in a joint with putty sculpted in the fashion of the rest of the character (no random fur scraps on an imperial fist just because you don't want to do piping), 100 pushups. If he pukes, he pukes. Kid will be so swole, won't matter what his social skills are like. Or he'll be good at painting.

PaintVagrant posted:You can prime in winter. Just get the models ready, keep the can and models indoors. Step outside quick, prime, then bring it all inside asap. Or leave it in a garage or something while it dries. The cans temperature is the important part. Alternatively, just prime in an enclosed space near an open flame--you'll stay warm, and you won't have to worry about a draft!

Look guys! This is STC degradation! It's exactly what happens. Your MkIV rhino chassis is duplicated a quadrillion times, the data decays, and suddenly, it looks like a slightly lumpier dumpster with smoke stacks. Maybe it's a landraider that gets heavier and made out of more sheet metal. Or the holy emperor's codex changes colors slightly. This is what it's like in the Grim darkness of the FAR FUTURE

Making it so it doesn't look like a giant fuckoff post is going to be an interesting trick. Maybe his unholy uterus is full of ectoplasm and his water just broke, unleashing a horrendous torrent of unameable fluids and energies onto the ground below him--so you paint it bright neon like a waterfall of fluid and by hanging a lampshade on it, it becomes invisible?

Fyrbrand posted:This link is the most pro of pro-click zones ever discovered. Seriously people get on this poo poo. That's really fun! When I Was little, my dad brought down some model trains from his parents attic and we built a board for them with buildings and some trees made out of moss--we'd turn off all the lights at night and run the train around seeing the little headlights and crossing stuff shine on the walls. It would be really fun to game on a table like that. In the dark with lamps--maybe a nice uv flashlight with fluorescent dice to see how you rolled without having to screw things up... Man. I bet necrons would look really good under a blacklight with some LED stuff under polystyrene rocks and pyramid detritus.

Also, I know suggestions are like assholes, but it would be cool to paint them in two completely different color schemes bow to stern, as if different groups of orks started painting, and because the ships are so big, they didn't coordinate, met in the middle, had an argument, started scrapping, and then forgot to paint part of it--eventually just giving up and going to waagh (in space).

Sole.Sushi posted:I'm about to start warmachining soon, so when I post something you can ? me ITT and determine everything I say is bullshit, but... If you prime white, at the end of the day, you have to include shadows, anyway, or suck poo poo in hell, forever. Those shadows will be incomplete if you thoroughly prime and then try to avoid spoiling the lighter flat surfaces. You can wash, but washing automatically mar some part of the flat surfaces anyway. Also, you're definitely going to be building up from a dark, no matter what. So the real issue is, would you rather have the darkest recesses at *most* be only *as* dark as the amount of wash you can get in there without piling on what amounts to sedimentary layers in the crevices? White is basically only useful for something that should have an inner glow. For example, if you want a carnifex mouth that looks like he has bioplasma breath, priming black from the back and bottom, and then carefully squirting him in the mouth with white (  ) will give you a good lighting basis for the glow you're trying to go for, and if it's a ghost, then obviously, prime white to have a shortcut. Otherwise your workflow ends up being:prime white wash dark for shadows darken light spots for sake of building up the base color, making sure you hit crevices, then build up vs prime black build up Unless it's a speed thing on a light color scheme in which case. Just Tadgh  it.

The bottom right one is rather un-orky in my opinion and may be placed aside as some random Xenos ship. Still, up to 2 Kroozas and 11 Escorts. Cut little jaws and put them on missile launcher missiles or torpedoes. And the one on the lower right will look plenty orky if you paint an orkface on the smooth part and maybe carve some gouges in it.

I was going to say a teal. I think the gray would make it blend too much with the white exoskeleton, and the contrast of the blue is really nice. Edit: Bonus american option, Blood Red. I really like it when a mostly blue and white model has a touch of bright red.

I had someone give me that advice, and their explanation was that the gloss protects better, and the matte helps kill the unintended glow of the gloss. His theory was that he manhandles his minis alot and they need more protection. I don't know if that makes sense, though.

Eyespy posted:Triple Warmachine painting crosspost: Those are nice, but this brings up a point. Does anyone have a good method for shading a woman's lips so that they are not clown-whore red but don't just receed into the face? Back when I tried, I built up using a purple/gray mix and then gray, and then highlighted with whatever flesh color I was using. Unfortunately, this is just girl-in-heat-without-makeup. Or girl-having-heart-attack. Depending on how much lip and how much highlight I had. Thankfully since I'm painting skorne first, I don't have to care, and the Khador girl I got in the box will probably have bluish lips because it's seriously fake snowing on her 3/4s of her small base (and there's a 20% chance of gravel and oil on the remaining quarter), as well as rosey cheeks because you know those northern girls. ... Their arc nodes are... warm. Anyway. You get my point--Hell Diver, have you ever painted a Catachan concubine or something? Wolf-sister? Adeptus Misscanicus?

Eyespy posted:Are they that bad? No, like pv says, they're good, and they go well with the blue and white. It's like alot of things with minis--exaggerated is part of what makes it look good. But I was just looking for tips on flesh lips. I mean, to be clear, when you've got a guy with sculpted lips, it's worth doing something different, too, and you wouldn't go with bright red lipstick for him. It's a personal preference thing of mine, and I'm sorry if it sounded like I was making GBS threads on your paint job. Edit: and admittedly, that tutorial, if applied to a portrait...results in lips lustfully engorged with blood and glistening with saliva. Which is the whole point of gloss lipstick.
