Any ideas for painting the base of one of my Oath minis? Maybe just a decent recipe for a dirty ground, like in a medieval marketplace.

w00tmonger posted:I've been doing my zenithal black to grey to white, but would it work just doing grey to white? I have some flying models and am worried that they're going to look a bit crap from the bottom given how vibrant I want to paint them I did that for priming my Oath this month and it seems to be working out fine so far. The black would have played around with the other colours too much.

JackMann posted:Desert troll won! Huzzah! I'll be talking to the judge tomorrow about some of the things I could have done better, but mine was still the best of the five entries, and I won eighty bucks in store credit. Not sure what I'll use it on yet, but still pretty cool. It's a pretty fresh take on the troll scheme. Somewhat troll related, I bought a goofy mini to paint for a friend.  I gave it another green glaze afterwards, and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out, but I need to build a light-box for taking pictures.

JerryLee posted:The Reaper models got a limited re-run a couple of years ago, I want to say for the Doom 20th anniversary commemorations. You had to buy the entire box set for like 100+ bucks and I was poor(er) then so I didn't really get to take advantage. Considering how fun they look, I'm thinking about emailing Bethesda, because that would be a great gimmick for a collector's edition.

I don't know why they can't just be licensed as part of Reaper's perpetual catalog. I can only assume that it's because Bethesda has almost as neurotic a relationship with their intellectual property as GW does.

Any advice for my soviet general goblins? Anything I should fix or should I just go ahead and seal them?

Zark the Damned posted:Army Painter Dark tone ink wash does the same. Strong tone is meant to be good too but I've not tried it myself yet. Their "Strong Tone" is one of the contenders to the former "Agrax Earthshade" market. It and the dark tone are great, but the soft/sepia ink doesn't really do it for me.

Oaf Complete! I tried a tutorial for metallic painting on the bull, and while it's a little messy, I like how it turned out. Pumpkin beholder was tricky since I forgot how fussy orange paint can be, and the Necromancer half-orc is a great little mini. Also next month I've gotta get a lightbox.   BOO!

On a different note, I'm looking to paint some mantic troopers in a 'Solid snake' style pattern and wondered if anyone had any advice for painting and shading blue-grey, or what a good basing scheme might be. Or just any fun Metal Gear ideas or models for inspiration

Chill la Chill posted:I used to do watercolor and pencil sketching regularly but haven't enjoyed freehanding on minis that often because of the curved areas. Thanks for the pro-tip about sketching with a pencil though. Never thought of that. I just used a permanent marker to outline my graffiti-laden space truck before: Is that Bossk's ship? I didn't expect him to get big into spice, but it wouldn't surprise me what with the crowd he hangs out with.

LazyAngel posted:Completed the build stage of Project Battlewren with a quick trip to pick up some Scibor dwarf and celtic shields and plates; Fantastic. Is he going to be a dwarf berserker lord for Kings of War? fwiw: If the army painter tone gets too watery it doesn't pool as nicely as some of the GW washes. Completely anecdotal of course, but it's a great cheap mucky shade if you haven't made your own yet (which will be my next step as my kickstarters roll in).

GoodBee posted:I'd imagine that depends on your local tap. Yeah, water nerd here, certain areas have more trace metals and minerals in the tap water that might interact with various pigments. I've never had it happen, but a friend on Salt Spring Island used his sulfur-rich well water to paint some minis, which now smell faintly like eggs.

Southern Heel posted:So after I dip my models, I could then matte-varnish and in theory go over the top - for example, to make metallics pop again or paint areas that I don't want shaded with brown? I've been playing around with the army painter dip, and this method works well. Look for the zombicide painting tutorials on youtube, they go over this exact style of painting, and it really looks nice. I don't always dip the figures, I also use a larger brush to apply the varnish, but you might want to use an extra dryer brush to help get rid of excess liquid, since the varnish can pool up like a wash.

signalnoise posted:So my dad wants me to paint something for him as some kind of token he can have in his house. I need some kind of a suggestion of a 54mm or bigger thing to paint that isn't expensive as hell but also doesn't have Bones-style gaps all over it. What's a good website for this? If your dad is like my dad and loves historicals, you might want to browse some of the products from Young's Miniatures. I'm not too sure about ordering from them, but you can find their products on ebay.

Southern Heel posted:I took your advice, and this is what I've got so far. I don't want to make much more work for myself, but if there are any specifics you can think of for a final flourish I would greatly appreciate it: I am really digging the multi based berserkers, I know they look fiddly to assemble, but my KoW dwarves and abyssal dwarves could use some more berserker troops  Also for the ironclad I would suggest a brassy or golden colour on some metal accents, like the stars, to help break up the iron a bit. The purple hammerheads would look nice alongside a few warmer gold details.

Neurolimal posted:Not painting related, but its a pretty solid deal so I figured I'd share: I backed the fantasy game, Dungeon Saga, and am happy with my pledge. Mantic are firmly a 28mm scale type company, and from what I can tell these figures can be used in their Deadzone and warpath games (much in the same way the Dungeon Saga minis could be used for Kings of War). You can google pictures of the figures from the Dungeon Saga kickstarter, but they are on par with their Mars Attacks! line, and the scenery was very well done.
