So I got a better primer for my Orks and it worked a lot better. Started painting them today with Karnifax Green, I believe. I stopped soon after starting because I wasn't sure how I was going to paint the face. Should I just paint the entire face, including teeth, lips and mouth with the green paint, then go over it later with a color? Or something else?

Iron Squid posted:So I got a better primer for my Orks and it worked a lot better. That's what I do, for the most part. A closed mouth I just paint over completely with green. An open mouth or one with lots of exposed tooth, I don't completely paint over, but I also don't fret if I get some green in the mouth. Here's an example of a mouth I wouldn't paint over with green (WIP Burna Boy):

While unpacking my tau at my new place, I thought I would take some pics. The crappy blue color is the old color scheme I went with. The Red Gore (Inspired by the Blood Ravens)is the new color that I just love painting. I just hated the blue, but I needed to paint for a tournament and that was what I had in mind at the time. Also I didn't write fluff for them until now and the blue color didn't go with it. Anyway, pics. I use a squad of these guys. He's the only painted one. Hey, Fire Warriors! There's a lot more. This is going to be a very long project...

So you all don't think I've been slacking the past month or so: I think the Avatar is where I finally got the gold looking how I want it to, so I'll have to redo Harbinger and the Reckoner. Oh and those first 4 pics is when I base coated my entire army is an hour and a half using an air brush.

I like how Menoth looks when it's not the base color scheme.

I made it known that a crappy cel pic was what was being used also yea he is only my second out of 4 with the honor guard. Im going to base them all at once thats why. As for what its missing i dont know but im open to advice on it. The wings arent that bright its just the flash reflected it.

Iron Crowned posted:Here's an example of a mouth I wouldn't paint over with green (WIP Burna Boy): That's some odd highlightling on the skin there - is it just the flash that makes it look like that, because it really looks like large spots of color. Might need an ink wash to tone it down a bit, or some intermediary shades around each spot.

PaintVagrant posted:drat man, nice work. Have you wheeled that army out into a game yet? He can't stop winning tournaments for some reason. It's sick. I'm willing to bet the only reason he hasn't gotten MORE Menoth done is because he's too busy kicking the asses of every Warmachine player in Florida.

ARMY PAINTER SPRAY BOLTGUN METAL TRIP REPORT EXTRAVAGANZA Just sprayed it on 25 or so grey knights in power armor, in my garage, in 21 degree weather. Perfect, butter smooth coverage.

So i put these up in the warham thread a while back, but i just got some more pictures taken of them. I may have spent way too long (about 90 mins each) on these but its my first time painting in a good 12 or 13 years so slowly getting back into the swing of it all. Some C&C would be most welcome as i'm planning in painting up a High Elf army some time in the new year and actually using the SH models as a practice run to get some good techniques figured out.

I wanted to look into a quick way of painting some plague marines a nice deep/dull red with black trims. I'm pretty sure that I want to do some dipping but I'd like to know how to build the red up, if at all. Just basecoat white and get some red foundation on or what? It doesn't need to be bright red so I think that might save some trouble, at least.

So excited for upcoming Tyranids! I can't wait to finally get my hands on a decent brood of Gargoyles, and the Trygon looks fantastic! This is the wrong place though, can anyone point me to the 40k thread?

Hey guys back again my my crappy poo poo. This time its lizards. Messing around with paint themes/ideas and need some advice. I wanted to make an all albino army but I'm having a lot of trouble: Click here for the full 700x620 image. Primed white, wash of baal red and covered in menoth white highlight. I was never happy with it so now its covered in several coats. Click here for the full 700x594 image. Same prime this time washed with ogryn flesh and menoth again. I'm at a loss. Then I did this guy: Click here for the full 700x566 image. Click here for the full 700x560 image. He was a lot of fun to do. Goblin green for skin, dark angles green on the scales, with a wash of mud. To distract from the basic paint job, I covered him in warpaint. I was aiming for Day of the Dead/ Grim Fandango but ended up with a Haitian Voodoo Priest. And these guys just for variety: Click here for the full 1000x402 image.

Current WIP pics since I haven't had a chance to airbrush the Ironclad: The terminator is that free WD one from ages ago, figured it was a good way to get rid of the assault cannon I had laying around. Trying to figure out what to do for the trim on the bikes. I was originally thinking gold, but now I'm thinking black would be better, maybe save gold for the sergeant or just skip it altogether. Any opinions?
