Well I started painting some more of the plague hauler but then I kinda got bored and stopped. There isn't much job left to do just paint some more of the gears and exhaust ports and then the tires black. I do like how the flesh ended up. Mixed some white and red to make pink and it was a bit brighter shade than I wanted but oh well. Later on it had hardened a bit so I added some more water and it made a slightly redder shade of pink that I applied. On the contrary I think I watered down the bronze way too much.

>>705 >Dang it. I dont have that in my country. I will keep an eye out for that though, thanks anon. You're welcome. You can buy CraftSmart satin paint through Amazon.com. I don't know if you can get it through your country's amazon since I'm not sure where you are. The 59ml bottles last forever. I've only needed to buy white and black more than once, so far. Oh, and some shade of green I was using.

BRU ISNT EVEN USING FUCKINB PRIMER

>>767 But I do. I usually prime with black paint and then paint over.

New mini painted. I think he came out pretty good even though I cant really paint his face. I could try but I dont think I have a brush that is pristine and small enough enough to do it.

Got 3 new miniatures a while ago. 2 duck warriors and a human warrior. The reason I got them was that I wanted to try painting metal miniatures. I think I am going to try first with the mini on the left. I am also going to undercoat it with white instead of black for what I feel are obvious reasons.

>>785 Well first attempt is done and its not very good.

>>786 I want to elaborate a bit. I originally was going to just make the eyes these like black dots but it looked awful, So my mom suggested painting larger eyes so I would have more room to work with. There are specific parts to put eyes in though already but then I tried making them larger anyway. While doing so I got the idea to fill the black space with white and then put a blue dot in it. It almost works but now he just looks like hes got eyeliners. Not really what I wanted to do but I guess its better than just a dot. I also really regret making his cap red. It stands out too much, I should have made it brown or something not red. Should probably apply some wash to the horns as well to make them look better. On the bright side I do like the darker red that I decorated the armour with. I got it by mixing the leadbelcher and red paint together and I think it looks pretty good. I think for the next one I am definitely going back to using black undercoats, Its easier to hide mistakes with those.

the guard are mine i painted them and the space marines my friend painted and are his >>768 are you priming with primer or just paint >>786 you need a smaller brush or somethin i think bru

>>794 Looking pretty good anon. I like the green helms and dark brown coats. Really works for Krieg. >Primer or just paint. I am just using normal paint. For most of them I am actually using black airbrush paint. I figured since most people prime their stuff with airbrush paint applying it with a brush wouldn't be too bad. >Smaller brush Definitely. Smallest brush I have is something like OOO, Which I thought was the smallest but today I noticed my friend had a 5/O brush. Need to go find one of those while I am at my local hobby shop.

I am fucking retarded. While painting I was going to mix some "tan flesh" (its pretty much just white) with yellow to make bone colour but some paint had dried in the tube and as I squeezed the entire thing came out. Got paint all over my stuff. Its not too bad I can probably get it away later but its annoying. On the brighter side I finally painted my space ork! I think I did a pretty good job with this one. I fucked up a bit on the face, might have had a bit too much rust on the bolter but aside from that I like it. Armour looks nice, Axe looks good, Helmet looks good. definitely one of my better paintjobs. Only other big problem is that I probably should have painted the gun "hole" black so it doesn't look like he is just holding a toy.

>>794 What chapter are those marines btw? I assume its a custom chapter.

Where the fuck can I find 28mm bases? I wanted to buy some of those notsquats but wargames atlantic doesn't include bases for their miniatures. >Oh well ill just buy bases from somewhere else, Surely plenty of sites will be selling 28mm bases in bulk Nope. No one except random fags on etsy seems to be selling 28mm bases. I found 28.5mm bases, Plenty of 25mm and 32mm bases. For some fucking reason 28mm are just not something anyone has.

Got done 3 models today! Wanted to do a bit of speed painting to get all of these traitor models that I bought so long ago finally done. The results? They look ok. Not that good or bad just OK. on the bright side I got them out in about 2-2 1/2 hours. Had already done the flamethrower previously but I think this guy is slightly worse.

>>863 Honestly I like these a lot. Your brushwork seems to really be improving.

I failed again. I tried painting the second metal miniature that I had but it ended up being complete garbage. The sun on the shield looks like a child drawing and the eyes look googly and amateurish. I should just get rid of the paint entirely and try again, this is just awful. So far my attempts with metal miniatures have been complete failures.

>>1008 Tried to paint some traitor guard to cheer myself up but I kinda got bored of it. I dont think speed painting lots of models is for me. These are works in progress, I think ill finish them tomorrow.

>>1012 They are finished! Sorta, I did a very sloppy job with them but I am feeling drained working on them. I really think working on 4 models was the mistake for me. I also tried something different, I got a new wash called "Flesh wash" and tried using it on Rakarth flesh. I thought rakarth flesh would look more nurglish so I used that instead of the usual bugmans glow. 2 of them have the new wash on their skin (rest is agrax earth shade) and the other 2 have flesh wash. If I remember right its the first 2 in the first pic that used flesh wash, I cant really remember. I don't think it made much of a difference.

In the same session that I finished the above 4 I also decided to paint this guy. last of the traitor guard models that I had and I love how he came out. I kinda forgot to put the rust effect on him but besides that I am very pleased with myself. for this guy I sprayed him first with white paint and then began painting with a wet palette for the first time. Well the other minis were also finished with a wet palette but you know what I mean. This guy made me realize that having white as a base coat isn't that bad of an idea. Would black have been a better base coat? maybe, But this guy came out fantastically so i do not really care. I did have some white paint on my hands though and it seems to have rubbed off on his cape. I will have to fix that some day.

Painted another one today. This one though is some Sister of battle. Originally I wanted to kitbash them together with some plaguebearers but I am too lazy to do that. Also I dont want to give GW more money. I think I did a subpar job with this one. Not the worst I have ever done but far from the best. I think adding softtone to the skirt was a big mistake as well, added some green spots that I am not a fan of. I also dont like using so much metallic colour, It feels lazy to do. This was lazily painted anyway though so eh. I also want to try a different colour scheme just to see if it works.

>>1023 Looking at it some more I think I need to spend a few more hours on this one. As it is right now it just looks lazy. Definitely need more layers of paint on the plasma gun and the gloves.

Genuine question about >>1023 Should I be thinning my paint more? I am using a wet palette and I thought that was enough for thinning it out but looking at it some more I think I might need to add more water.

>>1025 Haven't painted anything yet but the texture at the rear of the cape looks like you wrestled with thick paint and made it come out pretty good. A video I watched mentioned wet palettes only replenish water at about the evaporation rate, but not the medium that suspends the pigments. So as advice from a guy who hasn't practiced what he's talking about, try adding a brush of water onto the paletted paint, and only putting an amount of paint that you'll use in the next hour or two. It should also help with transferring paint to small areas or with small brushes since it won't blob on your brush. This video is one I plan to try following, https://yewtu.be/watch?v=sBDVPoNXyVI And this one goes further into thinning with paint additives, but I think water is fine https://yewtu.be/watch?v=FuSFCiLvs1w

I finally got the second sister of battle painted! Some of the details are kinda fucked but I think it turned out amazingly. I haven't applied a wash yet and I am still debating whether or not I should do that.

WIP. The back plates (?) were going to be painted brown but I thought it looked like shit. The red is a mixture of Mephiston red and leadbelcher. On the cover the Ogres are reddish brown skinned but I wanted to make them look like cave trolls so I painted their skin rakarth flesh. Not quite as pale as i wanted but I think it might work. Anyone have any suggestions?

shit me I didnt realise 8ch was still alive and knocking about, been years since i've browsed/posted, may as well contribute some of my recent WIPs as well as pic of some recasts that arrived recently :D >>1042 >>1070 these are looking good anon, are you priming your minis and thinning your coats? beyond that these are some bretty slick basecoats !! you should try experimenting with washes/shades next to add a bit of depth to the models' sculpted details if you're looking to try some new techniques in your process

>>1080 Nice to see another oldfag finding their way here. Are those raumjäger units? I thought about getting those. Nice paintjob on them. >Are you priming your minis? Of course. I got some white primer in a can that I use. I would have used a airbrush but I haven't gotten one of those compressors.

>>1081 based, was just asking as few of the pics in the thread look like they're painting onto bare plastic yee these troops are RaumJäger from WGA, really nice kits tbf, appear to scale well to at the very least the octarius krieg guys though I have no idea about the new cadians. And ty re: the paintscheme ^^ was originally doing just a little 4ed detachment of witch hunters and using them as Inquisitorial Stormtroopers, though I may just do an enitre army i'm loving the theme that much lol, pic related is the start of an inquisitor and his retinue ^^ Guess it's a good place as any to ask too, I'm wanting to kitbash my own Arco-flagellants rather than buying the official kit though I'm struggling to find a good kit to use as a base, closest i've seen to what i'm after are Crypt Ghouls from AoS/WhF and their proxies that mantic games do though both are still not quite what i'm after... any suggestions for kits would be massively appreciated, especially if they're non-geedubs and doubly so if I can use it to kitbash a daemonhost too ^^

Ogre boys! The one on the right was actually finished a while ago. I took pictures of him before I had applied any wash though. Now I finally got around to painting the second Ogre as well and I think he looks great. At least it would be if the fucking glue that I am using didn't ruin it all. So annoying, I should get some of that glue you just brush on surfaces instead. Well despite the glue and me possibly fucking up his arm placement I think they both look great. The one on the right was assembled first and then painted. This means he has a lot of white spots I cant reach without ruining the model. Second guy on the left was painted and then assembled which lead to the glue problem. Not sure if I am going to paint another 2 handed boy or the shaman next. I ned at least 13 of these models to make a 750 point army for Age of fantasy. I also want to do more for the bases but I have no idea what to do. The bases are so large that it is kinda distracting how empty they are. I was thinking the terrain should be like the floor of a cave. Maybe get some gravel and sand and mix that together? Could be nice. Just gotta disinfect it before I glue it on.

>>1082 >Arco flaggellants Kind of a hard one. They are a pretty unique unit. I guess you could take some zombies and make some metal parts with green stuff. Might be a bit complicated if you want them to have whips though. Might also be very time consuming to make all of them.

>>1023 >Gold and Blue surprisingly not a bad color scheme for the SoB.

Painted this guy last week and I thought I did a pretty meh job. Not really good and a few white spots missing but its doable. I do like the potions on the back and the robe but the staff was just awful. It doesn't help that I had a hard time making out what the fuck half of it was supposed to be.

>>1155 Looking at it some more I think I applied way too much wash.

Haven't posted here in a while so i might as well do that now. First pic I am not entirely happy with. Second pic I tried painting the skirt and legs first and it was way more pleasant. Especially since I kinda just covered the legs in brown and stopped caring about where the pants start and where the boots start. Not my best work in the world but I think its perfectly fine.

New ogre! I am really slow with painting these guys. I really like how this guy ended up. Halfway through I thought it was going to be a bust but nope it turned out pretty well. I especially like how the back turned out.

Kruleboyz! Some guy I play with has trouble with his backlog so I offered to paint a few for him. Not entirely happy with how they turned out. Belt stands out way too much. I think he will like it though.
