I needed a goblin break and realized that I had one of the infamous Primaris Lieutenants lying around    the first (and probably only) member of The Unseen chapter.

Spanish Manlove posted:For traditional use I really don't like citadel metallics. Leadbelcher and retributor armor are fine, I guess. But I really like using the steel colors for drybrushing. IDK why but of all the brands I've tried out, they work the best when drybrushing. Note that this is just the steel colors, their golds like to act really weird when drybrushing. For gold colors I've really liked the p3 and scale75 golds, notably using necro/blighted gold as a base then working up from that using the others. Those two colors base really well and then some light touches of yellow gold or brass just make it pop. Spanish Manlove posted:Are those the colors you used on that marine? It's an awesome scheme and I'm going to steal that someday Yeah, those are the ones I used for the marine armor and my goblin robes, they're great. I tend to agree with you on citadel metallics, but I actually quite like Balthasar Gold and Sycorax Bronze (which I also used on the marine).

speaking of kids and mini painting, I gave my friend's four year old a Reaper Clubtail and he's not half bad the "branching" effect he got between the back plates and the legs is quite neat (even if it's entirely by accident)

BizarroAzrael posted:I really need to do some proper basing, how is the GW texture stuff? I don't want to go crazy, just pick a terrain type to put them on. GW texture is fine, but expensive. If you can get your hands on some of Vallejo's texture stuff, it's a good deal cheaper. The DIY version is spreading some thinned craft glue on the base and dip it in sand, which works just as well (unless you're looking for a crackle effect).

The hair is black base, then a progressively smaller highlight of Dark Reaper -> Thunderhawk Blue -> Russ Grey. Then you use a black wash (I use AP Dark Tone) to tie it all together.

ilmucche posted:I'm taking a run at stripping paints. I feel like a glass cup with iso in it was a less good idea compared to get a small jar with a lid. It was the perfect size though You'll at least want something you can close, so the iso doesn't evaporate. I usually pull them out and scrub under running water, seems to work fine.

Does RN Estudio have a Beatrix model? Haven't seen it. I don't know if it's just the printing company I bought them from, but the sizing is... odd.  Regarding Alexander and Bahamut, just print these two guys and make them kiss (after you throw some wings on the Alexander model)

Wangsucker 69 posted:Hey I just wanted to thank everyone who posts in this thread, I’m pretty new to miniature painting and so far I’ve had a blast researching and buying all the gear I could get my hands on, but was having issues starting painting because I have no artistic background, can’t draw or paint for poo poo and had a lot of the resin minis I printed just sitting in a pile because I was worried about having no knowledge of color schemes etc. You guys inspired me to just start throwing some paint on these loving things and seeing where it goes and I’ve had much more fun the past month or so actually finishing some stuff. I’ll post some of the things I’ve finished up so I can get advice on improving, but yeah, this thread is great and just thanks for the inspiration. Good for you, realizing you can do whatever you want is the most freeing thing you can do when painting minis. If you don't like a particular result, gently caress it, paint it over or strip it and try again, or just move on to the next. You'll improve either way

Chill la Chill posted:Yeah it’s getting there. Also where did you get the chocobo? I’ve been enjoying painting cavalry recently and I’m probably going to put together all this cavalry into a bretonnian army whenever they get rereleased It's a "Chuco-strider" by RN Estudio. You can get it from various 3D printing sites or print your own. I got mine from Forgelord 3D (EU shop) and the print file is on MyMiniFactory. They have a whole FF/JRPG series but they can be somewhat tricky to search for since they all have non-copyrighted names.  Ah yes, my favorite FF7 characters, Dhiva and Claude

Yeah, you don't want to go straight for a bright paint, they usually cover quite poorly. For red, I mostly use Khorne Red or Mephiston Red as a base, they usually cover black in 1-2 layers. For cold white, Celestra Grey is a magic basecoat. Haven't found any white or grey that covers quite as nice as that one. For a warm white, I'd start with a sandy/beige color, something like Zandri Dust or Vallejo German Camouflage Beige WWII.

It's black -> Dark Reaper -> Thunderhawk Blue -> Russ Grey and then when you're finished and think "Man, this looks pretty bad" you give it 2x coats of Dark Tone/Nuln Oil and suddenly it all ties together.  also I painted these like four months apart and forgot all the paints I was using for the one with the shield. Looking at it I may need to go back and give the blowpipe one stronger highlights

Is Warboss Green your first basecoat on the mini? It's a layer paint, so it's meant to go on top of a base paint. Using something like Waaagh! Flesh or another base paint first would save you a lot of headache. As an aside, I tried looking up the Citadel paint colors to find the right name and holy poo poo the new shop site is so bad. I had to look a third party site to find a paint overview. Winklebottom fucked around with this message at 08:22 on Nov 29, 2023 |
