Lootas are the epitome of ork conversion silliness. Slap 3 or 4 random guns together, add some gubbins, done.

What is it about googly-eyed tyranids that is so hilarious? I can't stop laughing at these, and I couldn't stop laughing at the old ones either. The one in the middle of the blue ones with his tongue hanging out is the worst, the very definition of 'side-splitting.'

I'm going to put it this way: In the upcoming codex in 2 months, supposing hormagaunts get priced appropriately, they'll be worth as much as guardsmen. Do you want to put forth that much effort to paint guardsmen? What's more, point cost aside, do you really want to put forth the effort to strip and repaint ALL those identical horde minis?

Anyone got any suggestions for something that I could use as a Blood Bowl ball? Aside from the actual plastic balls - my ones are somewhere in my tub of old miniatures 400 miles away...

 Still need to finish doing the seal on that melta, after that I need to do another 11 marines in the same shading scheme.

It's codex gray thinned down to maybe 1/10 with water for the brightest parts, codex gray + chaos black thinned down for the intermediate, then codex gray + 2x chaos black thinned down for the darker part. Edges are done with regular codex gray.

 I've been working on this guy, and I'm pretty happy with how he looks, but a lot of people have mentioned the blinders as being too nurgly. Fair enough. I'm still on the fence about it, and since it's too rainy to prime, I've got time to decide. I'd like to have a little more in depth discussion here, so as not to clutter up the GBS thread with my indecisiveness. Reasons to keep it like it is :
Reasons to change it :
So, I'd like to see some ideas or pix of what else I could do without surpassing my meager greenstuff skills.

I think youd be fine if you just painted it metal color or black. Just dont make the eye cover thingies a really contrasty color compared to the rest of the horse

As someone said, fill in the cracks around the eyes and it'll look less corrupted.

edit: ^^^ thirding I guess Seconding PV, if you keep the blinders the same scheme as the rest of the horse armor I think it will be fine. Especially if you keep the borders tight and cohesive. PV's commissioned plague marines have the nurgle spores in a decidedly biological-looking color that deliberately contrasts the rest of the armor, plus they have incongruent borders that show that they burst out through the armor as opposed to being built as part of it. If you do end up crafting blinders, I've only ever seen them as basic rectangles:  I mean, there's a slight bevel and curve to the ones in that image, but a straight up rectangle would look fine imho.

I quite like the ones you've got, and don't think they look all that Nurgle-y. You could always fill in the holes with Green Stuff and have the horse be blind as well as the rider

Advice, plox. is becoming super-closeup brushstroke-showing macro version:  I've never painted over white primer before, so I'm learning that there are a lot of differences in technique. What are some of the basic rules you guys have figured out when making that switch from black? It's also really the first time I've done anything with blue, and I'm not sure it's working for me. I have to choose whether to make that pop more (contrast correction made it come out a bit stronger than real life in the pic above), or to make it more subdued and find some place to put a complimentary color to draw the eye. Obviously I'd intended for there to be more blue in there than this particular Sister model allows with the gun where it is and no mask. The other thing I think I'm messing up here is on the metal. I'm wondering if using yellow to represent gold on the painter page tricked my brain into thinking there was enough color contrast, but be damned if I'm going to actually paint it yellow. PV: your gold was sepia over mithril, right? Can you advise on just how thin you get your mithril first, and do you paint over any particular base color? Finally, any random thoughts on what I might do here? I'm torn, in part because it's not very grimdark, but I'm not entirely sure that wasn't the point, or even how I'd begin to rectify that.

I really like your scheme actually. For some reason, it gives me a French nun vibe, and I'm cool with that. Because they are French nuns with guns. You just have to get the gold part sorted out.

White primer is all about washes. Almost every basecoat I paint gets washed, because its easy to leave white primer in recesses which ends up looking like poo poo. You can build your layers up on top of the washed basecoat as normal. e: your model looks pretty dope, I think the flesh is a bit too purple but otherwise all the colors look good

Purple? I can't even begin to think what I might have put on there that made it purple. Is there any purple to Ogryn Flesh? Maybe it's just the fluorescent and the tweak I did in Picasa to get the contrast right. I just realized that I forgot to do the grey trim on the shoulder pads and suddenly a lot of what I perceived as messiness just went away. That gold, though. That gold.

I think that you're going to be challenged in that most of the SOB figures have your blue areas covered (chestplate and upper arms). It makes your template a little misleading. You might want to consider expanding the blue areas to make up for how most of the models are posed.

Just treat it as part of the armour and it will look totally fine. Even when used as a chaos model its not necessarily intended to be some hideous extrusion, just some unusual and archaic horse armour.
