BizarroAzrael posted:Thanks for this, I was asking previously about Contrast paints (which I believe are interchangeable enough with Xpress Paint) through an airbrush to paint a tank to match my army painted with a Contrast colour (Sigvald Burgundy) I haven't tried it myself but from what I have watched in painting videos, contrast paints through an airbrush end up being very translucent almost like a filter. So yeah, you don't get the pooling but you may get a very even spraying of transparent colour, which might get you what you want anyway because the underlying white to black gradient will make it look lighter or darker.

Just google "goku cloud figure" and make a ball of green stuff that looks vaguely brain shaped and volumetric shade it so it looks like an anime cloud, ez pz

I like the mould line remover cause it's pretty good for old kits like Tyranids. It just bulldozes those thick mold lines into nothingness. Not really a must grab item though. I would say grab Agrax Earthshade, Nuln Oil and a brown contrast paint of your choice. Even if you use stuff like oil washes or enamels, the acrylic washes are great for stuff you don't need the precision for like terrain. Brown contrast paint is just for tiny gribbly bits like leather pouches or belts. Just slap that poo poo on and move on with life.

Got some painting done during Christmas  The Obliterator is actually a pretty decently chunky guy with a lot of detail but I had to keep telling myself not to get bogged down if I want to get my army done sometime this century

Little nuggies like Termagants are the perfect models to try something new. They're small enough that major errors are overlooked and they're numerous enough that if there's some variation going on that just makes them look more naturalistic.

Not sure how pre primed pieces would really work with gates you have to trim and uh, plastic gluing pieces together.

The old Space Marine armours are iconic, classic, etc. but the Primaris marks are more cohesive and thus narratively appropriate of a new generation moving past the stagnation of 10,000 years. That being said there's a few stinkers in there (lol Desolation Squad) but as a whole the new sculpts are more dynamic and a pleasure to paint. They brought Terminators forward too so it's not like they're abandoning all the old stuff.

Starting on my World Eaters, they're actually really fun sculpts to paint, probably cause they have less trim than a regular Chaos Space Marine

The loincloth colour is fine but if you want nitpicks I think it looks shiny rather than clothy. Easiest way to do it would probably be to essentially do some crosshatching to give it a fake weave texture.

Cardboard Fox posted:I only paint because I think its fun and have never played any of the Warhammer tabletop games. Is it a rule that armies have to be painted? If not, is there community pressure to have your army look good, or is there some "meta" that allows you to play better if you have a better painted army (that would be hilarious)? Officially each player gets 10 VP for having a painted army. You obviously don't need to take this into account if you're playing games for fun or whatever but ostensibly the rule exists for big gatherings like tournaments to have every table look cool rather than a pile of grey going at each other.

Lostconfused posted:Speed paint guide "You can save time by just considering the light, shadow, and texture of the model before you apply every brush stroke and that will help you out in the long run." That checklist is the entire concept and activity of Painting. Of course if you take the time to plan things out you can execute faster than if you're trying to constantly what to do at each step! That's like being undecided what ingredients you're going to throw in the pan until the moment you start cooking.

Leaving compressed air in the tank can cause condensation which causes rust and eventual failure.

Paragon8 posted:I have seen it said that AO are made by Rosemary and Co so it might be worth looking into them as well. I believe they are rebranded Rosemary and Co drybrushes so you can probably just get One to try if shipping doesn't own you. I got the Year of the Tiger set and I can confirm that the brushes are very good for drybrushing especially if you watch their videos for their drybrushing technique. I don't use the whole set though but I assume if you wanna drybrush blend a tank the biggest ones would be useful.

Muir posted:If they are just rebranded Rosemary and Co, that's one hell of a mark-up. Why would I get any of the Artis Opus brushes rather than just buying the Rosemary equivalents? It's about 30% markup which is a bit but not excessive and I just checked and they have additional sizes that Rosemary and Co don't have. But mostly Artis Opus is going hard on collabs and so forth because they figured out a method of drybrushing that gives you airbrush-like results. Even if Rosemary and Co offer the the original product they weren't being bought for miniature painting. For Rosemary and Co its win/win because the AO guys are basically generating a new market for drybrushes and whether or not they sell direct or via wholesale to AP they still are moving product. AO are not charging you for the tutorials so they gotta upcharge you on the brushes. That's also why they throw in stuff like the drybrush hydrating sponge and brush soap which you can definitely get on your own and sell the texture pad which you can make with cork and sortie sprue. It's a pay for convenience thing.

Bucnasti posted:What's so special about their drybrushes? LIke are they better than cheap makeup brushes in some way? They're very dense and not as soft as a makeup brush which lets them hold a lot of paint and AO's method isn't really "drybrushing" per se because you want to keep some moisture in the bristles and is really more like Stippling En Masse than dry brushing.

Speedpainted this Terminator to get an idea for my colour scheme and also cause I need to just get some painted bodies on the table so I can play some 10th. I think I used too much turquoise for the body to be considered black and I ended up layering too much white so I lost depth on the shoulders. Maybe I'll try drybrushing the white layers so I don't obliterate it with layers.

Nessus posted:Yeah, I figure they're not going to have non-GW products, outside of possible niche utility items. Maybe I'll scope out both and check the vibe Gunpla snips are good. The only other stuff you need is a hobby knife to clean up snipped gates (you can just the back to scrape mould lines), Tamiya Extra Thin plastic glue, any super glue of your choice (for 3d printed bits, resin models or gluing minis to terrain if you are doing more elaborate basing) and optionally a hobby pin vise to drill gun barrels and holes for pins and magnets.

Nessus posted:I mean how do you open and close it to apply glue to the minis, lol. I was old enough to just get a five buck packet of superglue and use that, but I was working long enough ago that most of the minis were metal. The thin metal tube is the applicator and you just dab it it against two pieces that are pressed together and it will melt the plastic together. Tamiya Extra Thin Cement has a brush applicator that can also be used to dab into gaps with capillary action and that's why it's more highly recommended.

Put two big blobs on your wet palette. Take a blob of your dark red and put it on an empty spot. Take an amount about half that blob from your lighter red to make a 2:1 mix. Repeat for 1:1 and 1:2 dark:light mixes. You now have 5 shades starting at dark red and ending at light red. See if that is good enough for your purposes.
