Hacking up a battlewagon. Lots of the bits aren't glued yet which is why there's demented half-wheels at the front.

Now, when I started this build I knew I'd end up with the standard deffrolla arms not fitting. Do these arms (from grabba klaws) look a bit weedy for the rolla?

Obviously I still have a lot of plates and rivets still to do on the rest of the wagon.

Gah I need to get a god drat airbrush. Basecoating is taking forever and I still have 9 terminators left >:( Stupid Christmas and saving up for other stuff.

Has anyone here used that cheap setup from harbor freight? Is it good enough for basecoating? 80 bucks for this compressor and this brush kit seems like a good price since I'm not planning on doing anything detailed with it.

There's a version of that compressor with a reserve tank for slightly more which I got, the one you linked will be OK but I think you might regret not coughing up a few more bucks for a tank if you end up doing more than basecoating. You can get a bit of a "pulse" on the spray if you run straight off the compressor. Plus it is bigger and therefore superior :smug:

Similarly, the brush is single action. Fine for basecoats but again, if you think you'll be experimenting with other techniques, get a double action one - they can do everything one that will and more.

Also, buy more than one brush when you get your kit, you'll almost certainly gently caress up one brush before you learn to clean them properly.

Stick your models down onto something with blu-tack/white-tack, it looks like you're holding them to prime. Lots of people use box lids, I prefer 1" cross-sectioned bits of wood because you can arrange the guys in a line that's nice and even for spraying over.

The primer has pooled quite a bit, as well as the other things people have mentioned that might be from holding the spray on the mini. Don't point the can at the model and press, start spraying off the minis and then move the spray fairly quickly across the group of models.

poo poo I am on the internet when I should be painting.

Not done yet, needs more tidying, catching the missed bits and brass accents adding. Don't mind the shiny bits, there's some gloss down to protect powders and inks - the matt varnish spray I use tends to dissolve those.





Most of the freehand checks and stuff were done with those Daler-Rowney FW inks that Fix pimped. They are pretty good for small details like checks because they stay wet on the palette/brush for much longer making it easier to keep a point, and have stronger coverage than paint thinned to the same consistency. It's sorta like the out of the pot convenience of GW washes, but for freehand details.

Can someone post a good rust tutorial? I'm throwing together a squad of nurgle bikers and need them to look ugly as sin.

If you want proper corroded looking stuff, do paint chips with really dark browns or black, not metallics. Exposed metals start rusting very quickly, only fresh chips will be shiny. You could try sponging some chips onto some of the bigger surfaces on the bike -

http://migjimenez.blogspot.com/2009/11/sponge-chippping-and-rust-stains.html

The engine and stuff I'm not so sure about, probably still use metallics since they'd be chromed. Possibly sponged rust spots could work to show the coating blistering and failing. Maybe try undiluted ink to get an oily finish - I've used Windsor & Newton Nut Brown on a few pistons and things on some of my vehicles.

The sponging suggestion is a bit experimental btw - it works great on tanks and stuff, but I'm not sure how well it'd translate to something smaller.

Shallow your orks are pretty much much my favorite but if I could offer some criticism it would be that your bases are a bit bland for those awesome models. I think you need to start with a darker base coat and use more contrasting colors when your drybrush. I'd also suggest static grass for some color but that probably wouldn't fit the urban scheme you seem to have there.

I think you're probably right and there's two main areas I'm going wrong in.

The base coat is Adeptus Battlegrey, which is the darkest shade GW do. It's the colour I used when I started the army, and has been used throughout for consistency. A few of my more recent models have ended up randomly using VMC Black Grey which is a touch darker, and those do look better. When I can face repainting 60-odd bases it I should probably go back and try a thickish wash of that and redrybrushing.

The other main issue is that I don't do enough to pick out the 'hero' rocks and rubble on most bases (compared to the rusty debris which I'm generally very happy with). Usually a put a very subtle greenish/brownish-grey wash on them so they're a different colour to the surrounds, and I think those need to be stronger in colour and density because I do it before the drybrushing so the colour gets dulled even more.

I probably should do some grass, some of the bases for my (still) incomplete deffkoptas use grass so it would fit in fine with the overall scheme.

Practice, drink far less caffeinated drinks, practice, relax and breathe slowly, practice, sit comfortably, practice, brace your hands against each other and the table or your chest, practice.

If you haven't painted for a while, give it a day or so to get your brush control back before you do anything fiddly.

Also you can sometimes get a fresh paint splurge off with a damp brush if you deal with it Right loving Now when it's wet, I use a flat hog bristle brush for it an it works maybe half the time, but be careful you don't take existing dry layers off, especially on metal minis! Prevention is better than cure though.

Rambling irrelevant grampa story follows.

All this POISON PAINT stuff reminds me of why I moved from enamels to acrylics back in the day. This was some time in the 80s, when most people used enamels because all the minis were tin-lead alloy so even unsuitable types wouldn't melt them, reasonable brands like Airfix and Humbrol were available in pretty much every toy shop, and what the hell were acrylics anyway? There were no acrylics aimed at mini painters.

So the young me (I guess around 10) is sat up in his bedroom dabbing away on orcs and knights from a collection of random manufacturers (Citadel, Ral Partha, Essex, Prince August...) with a collection of equally random matt and gloss paints, without using undercoats, and cleaning my brushes in an old jam jar full of turps or white spirit. This became increasingly murky until it got replaced after about 3 months when I could finally persuade mum or dad to get me a new bottle from the DIY shop. When the lid was on the turps jar I was probably harming myself by filing bases flat and inhaling powdered lead instead.

I'd got into D&D and miniatures because of my cousin. A year older than me, he was an excellent mini painter and all round artist (he went on to art school and eventually became a tattoo artist at an acclaimed London studio). Anyway, sometime in our enamel painting heyday, my cousin had to have a horrible scouring and adenoid removal operation done to his nasal passages because of a chronic allergy to cat hair. Naturally, they gave away all their cats, and the specialists asked if there were any other potential irritants he was exposed to; Apparently, if you're allergic to anything, huffing white spirit is a bad idea. After very little research my aunt and uncle replaced all his enamels with Tamiya model paints.

This started a kind of whirlwind of paint replacement by the parents of all the D&D kids in our area, because every single nerdy kid has to have some kind of sniffly allergy or other. Mine was household dust. Every D&D kid in the three main schools near our town suddenly went from years worth of accumulated enamel shades to a bare minimum set of unsuitable acrylics (primaries, black, white, green, brown, and metallics if you were lucky), and screw you if you wanted more colours, obviously you don't need them because the Tamiya pots are MUCH bigger.

It did suck since Tamiya paint is really lovely to use on 25mm minis when there's no internet to shout at you about thinning. In retrospect it's also pretty hilarious since I think most Tamiya acrylic is in an alcohol-based medium anyway. If they'd really thought about it they should have got us off the lead-based minis too.

Fortunately we got the first Citadel Colour releases a while after that, and Humbrol started doing their acrylics.

Then Citadel started their plastics so I got to inhale glue fumes all the time. Awesome!

As well as that, I find that stripping something you've almost finished really does not help motivate you to paint it again. I stripped nearly finished Ultramarine tac, terminator and assault squads ~11 months ago to repaint them as Crimson Fists, took me until the Christmas break to get beyond the base coat, and still none of them are anywhere near finished.

If this is supposed to be a trench gouged by a crashing craft, then it should have a much less pronounced trench at the end where it first touched the ground, and huge build-up around the end where the big chunk came to rest. Maybe one of the smaller chunks could have been done stuck through one side of the trench or with its own forked mini-gouge. As it is, it all looks too perfect and even, like somebody has built some earthworks around some scrap.

That looks great. I like the rivets; what's your technique?

Cutting and gluing plastic rod until I go insane from the repetitive work and the fumes.

Pick thin circular rods (less than 1mm thick, I mostly use 0.5-0.7mm) for your basic rivets, and slightly larger hexagonal rods for nuts and bolts (1.5x to 2x the thickness of your circular rods). You can also get square rods to use as square bolts or washers, but it's roughly as much work to cut square bits of thin plasticard.

Cut slices of rod carefully with a sharp knife. Change blades if you haven't for a while, if you're using a dull blade this kind of cutting is very prone to shearing, giving rough edges that are impossible to remove from these tiny objects. Lay the rod flat on your cutting mat and cut straight down with an even pressure. You want to get rivets as flat as you can but you don't need to be perfect, these are ork rivets. Go slowly at first, after a bit you can get a rhythm going. I find it easier to keep straight if I edge the rod under the blade for each cut rather than moving the knife. If you cut a rivet too thick don't try and cut it in half or whatever, it's a waste of effort, keep going down the rod which is easier to handle and faster. Cut at least twice as many as you'll think you'll want for the section you're working on: I guarantee you will use at least 50% more than your initial guess.

Rivets tend to ping off as you cut, sometimes I put a little 'goal' made of half a blister pack next to where I'm cutting to catch the wild ones, usually I forget to dig it out and just cut next to my model. If you don't wear glasses get some eye protection: You won't blind yourself with rivet shrapnel, but you will remember it for a while!

Oh, and you can also drill holes to represent rivets/bolts that have dropped out. Make sure they're in a line with other rivets so it's clear it's not a half-assed bullet hole.

Some people suggest using the kind of hole-punch that's supposed to be used for making holes in leather belts and straps to make rivets to glue on. This is probably quicker and less fiddly than cutting rods, but I have yet to see a model using this technique that didn't look like it was covered in Lego studs. Can't say I'm ever likely to try it.

Dunno if Cakefool or any of our other resident looney riveters have anything to add to that.

Also I'm trying out weld lines on this build, which is just a thin sausage of your choice of putty laid along a joint and then stabbed into place along both edges with something pointy but a bit blunt like a cocktail stick.

quote:

I start with bestial brown, drybrush with snakebite leather and solar macharius orange, then flood the whole thing with devlan mud. After I ring the base with scorched brown I hit the model with dullcote, then use water effects on the base to get the final result.

I was meaning more what's it made out of before painting and effects? Just sand on PVA or is there something more in there? The surface looks more smooth in some places than others so I wondered. Might just be the photo or the water effects doing that I guess.

quote:

My freehanding sucks, but I might try to be more adventurous in the future. I had a tentative plan of keeping the troop units a solid color, and using checks and other stylish stuff on the elites and other boyz. The problem is that the same focus that keeps the paint jobs clean also makes it impossible for me to be happy with any freehand work I do. I already spend way too much time on each model.

EDIT: Originally what I wanted to do was make each unit a different color. So the boyz would be red, orange, yellow, blue, and possibly purple squads. Maybe I could make the shoota boyz red and the slugga boyz yellow, and then use checks or dags to differentiate each squad. Thoughts?

You could also just vary weapon colours: Red boyz with all-gunmetal weapons, yellow boyz with brass bits on weapons etc. Orks tend to go best in either dingy poo poo-covered blacks, greys and browns, or bright primary colours (probably poo poo-covered too). Not sure I'd use purple unless I was trying to make some flamboyant freebooters or something like that.

The other thing you can do is get a box of fantasy orcs and go for a Snakebite mob in varying shades of brown. This will also give you some moon-hat heads you can use on your next batch of yellow/bad moon boyz.

Product review: craftlite Energy Saving Daylight Bulb 20W ES

I normally use Phillips 60W daylight bulbs in my desk lamp and the second lamp I use with it when I can be arsed to set up my lightbox. I've been down to one bulb for a while and not found any replacements so I took a risk and picked up one of these bulbs in Hobbycraft.

Generally my opinion of energy-efficient bulbs has been that they're poo poo for painting: Super yellow, take as much as half an hour to get to full brightness, and their "equivalent to xxW tungsten" claims are usually exaggerated by something like 50%. I was therefore rather skeptical about these bulbs, and decided to get a 20W (100W equivalent) instead of the 11W (60W equivalent).

This bulb completely trashes all my preconceptions. It's an incredibly pure white, the Phillips bulb in my other lamp looks quite yellow in comparison: I'm not completely sure that's the best thing but I'll take it over the normal colour of EE bulbs. The bulb reaches full brightness within a second of being switched on. It's also incredibly bright - it probably is genuinely equivalent to a 100W tungsten.

The only real downside is the spiral is a bit long so it will stick out of a standard desk lamp slightly; that probably wouldn't be a problem with the 11W one though.

And there you go. I have written a gushing post on the internet about light bulbs.

It was at Hobbycraft, for Five English Pounds. Checking the packaging there is no further info about the manufacturer beyond the brand name, so no clues for finding US stockists.

For those of you who practice the mystical art of sticking-plasticard-under-feet to avoid the sunken effect when sanding bases, what do you do with the metal ones ?

1) Clip the tab off, stick it on plasticard and pin to a closed base.
2) Trim the tab so it's just under the feet, add plasticard and then GS fill the big gap in the base.
3) Other.

I leave the whole tab on, glue the plasticard scraps onto the base at the edges of the slot, just where the feet will stand, and then glue the model in. Sort of like PV's slot heightening but just under the feet. If the tab sticks above the surface of the base a lot, I might file it down a bit.
