 Still needs some tidying up. If I ever meet the person who decided every spotlight in 40K was going to have a grill over it, I'm gonna stab them in the eye with a 000 brush.

Here's the progress on my Battlewagon. I'm fairly happy with how the metal came out (Vallejo Gunmetal Grey, Badab Black, Boltgun Drybrush, light Devlan Mud), and I've decided to go with a red/yellow paint scheme for my army. The only left for me to do on the front is to choose how to paint the deffrolla itself. I'm still debating how to do it. Here are some ideas: 1) Paint the teeth red and leave the rest alone. 2) Paint the whole drat barrel red. 3) Paint the barrel with red in a checker pattern, leaving the metal plates bare. 4) Paint something over the plates. I'm leaning towards the checker pattern, but if you guys have other suggestions I would love to hear them. Hell any comments at all are welcome.  Link for 'Uge  Link for 'Uge  Link for 'Uge

Here are some ideas: You've got a natural check pattern on the ends with the model - you should utilize that. I'd say check up each end bit, paint the teef red, then rusty up the plates on the rolla.

 Got some more work done on this bastard. Enough to be able to blu-tac it together. Just some detailing work left to do on the head and carapace. Can't wait to get that done so I can throw some paint at it, call it done and hide it on some shelf, never to be used for anything ever.

Yog-Sothoth posted:Yep white primer Cool thanks for sharing, my big gripe with white primer is that I normally paint bases and get them done before I even lay a single coat down on the model itself. Because I work off of a black undercoat 99.9% of the time this has never been a problem, with a white undercoat though... not so sure whether it's worth the extra hassle of painting the base extra carefully after painting the mini. I tried out a variation on PV's 'red' tutorial tonight with a spare marine torso, started with P3 skorne red and then hit it with a wash of devlan mud, then another coat of skorne red over that and then touched up with p3 khador red base. Looks lush and totally unlike anything I've ever done before (in terms of general brightness) I blame the white undercoat and I'm sure I'll be a white undercoat convert before the year is out

I've always hated white primer because you can never get into the deep detail, ending up with white spots, and because it's fuzzed up for me a lot more than black. But it is a lot easier to work with if you give it a thin wash with a dark colour before you start painting proper, or so it seems from my recent faffing with my Lone Wolf.

Now I just prime white for everything, honestly if you're applying your basecoats properly (like a fair bit of paint but thinned down) there really shouldn't be any recesses that are missing paint, and even if you do miss a few bits, a drop or two of the appropriate wash right in there should be plenty to fix it up. The difference in colour vibrancy is night and day, nothing I've done in black primer looks anywhere near as good as white primed

I'm not really against white primer, but I haven't found a good white gesso yet and I'm sick of huffing spray paint.

I am curious as all gently caress as to how well that would work. As far as primer goes, I sadly own four different kinds: white, gray, black sprays, as well as black gesso. I use black when I know I'll be painting a lot of metallics on a model, or have a lot of black. Otherwise, I prefer white or gray.

The Norse team I'm painting were primed white and I'm liking it so far. Maybe I'm becoming a convert?  Oh, wait, the werewolf was primed black and the spots that weren't primed were done over with gesso.

I prefer painting on white primer, but I find it much more difficult to get a consistent coat. White primer is much much temperamental and I already lost a unit of painstakingly converted skeletons to it, so I am always slightly afraid of using it.

Painting from white primer generally takes more time than I like as you really have to make sure you cover every single bit and nook and cranny of the model. Black primer lets you cheat occasionally. I'm all about the easy way out. I may try my next batch of Bretonnians in white though, as painting bright colors over black makes me want to hang myself.

I primed a couple models in white with the Reaper 'white primer' from the squeeze bottle. Sure, painting it one takes more time, but god it works.

This is pretty much my gripe with white undercoats. I'll do them when I really have to but otherwise it's black all the way. Way more forgiving (which is a godsend when you're only painting to TT standard anyway)

I've never used white primer, then I tried painting some Storm Lords. The cheap white primer I used was watery (yes I shook the can well), but even after one coat of red it came out looking fantastic!
