completed my farseer    ended up darkening the bit where the flame joins the hand and lightening the hand a bit too to make them more distinct. Wanted to do some freehand on the front of the bike but theres not much room having to work around the rune to do a big centralised thing and i'm not too confident of my ability to pull off a symmetrical pattern so i'll leave it blank and do a white painted rune of some kind on the warlocks jetbikes in the same place so they look like they match the seer

When I was like 9 I thought red and blue was the coolest color combination but now it's just eye-searing to me, so no matter how awesome that seer might be(and it is), the colors ruin it for me.

I had a go basing my Tau, miliput, static grass, and Tamiya sand weathering stick. I'm not sure whether I should have painted the stone or not.  Click here for the full 1000x750 image. Also a couple of WIP AOBR marines. Still need to finish the bolters and clean them up a bit. Painting them as Blood Angels but trying for a slightly darker red, more like Flesh Tearer red.  Click here for the full 1000x750 image. I still can't seem to paint eyes, I either do the dark wash over the whole eye socket, which seems to lack something, or end up with googly eyed marines. Nice work on the Farseer Yog. Whenever I try to greenstuff something it looks like a 3 year old has thrown play-doh at.

Myopic posted:Real men steer with their knees Look to your local craft store's scrap-booking section, you just need to find a cutter that can do circles that small. Failing that try finding a leather punch that is big enough. Also, that Olfa (I think) cutter that someone here uses wouldn't do, it leaves a pinhole in the middle and apparently can't cut tiny circles well.

So i recently got a HE battalion, put together the Silver Helms last night with a few minor mods, and probably gonna do the spearmen tonight. Though i've got a problem with the bolt thrower. There's all these cool looking gubbins on the sprue that i'd love to put onto one big base i'm just not sure where to get a decent sized plastic base from. The large oval ones are sold out on GW's site and i dont think the 40mm square base would be big enough to hold the mini-diorama-rama you could make from all the spare bits on that sprue. Any ideas UK goons?

Yog-Sothoth posted:Hit the back with a few thin washes of bleached bone/white (1 part bleached bone + 2 parts glaze medium + 6-8 parts water), it will help blend the shading into the cloak. Also with fire (and the colour red in general) I've found that highlighting up to pure yellow before shifting to white (Red -> Orange -> Yellow -> White) is better that going Red -> Orange -> White or Red -> Pink -> White.

I actually only went with bone because I'm too blind/retarded to figure out what kind of tint the grey had (bluish I think, looking at the pictures) and so couldn't figure what colour would go with it.

Had no idea. I just want something that isn't the original grinning fat shark No way in hell am I freehanding the army insignia, I'd never get it consistent enough for my liking and I'd end up getting frustrated and giving up with the whole idea (sooner than I will anyway I mean )

Myopic posted:Thanks. I thought about leather punches, do you think they'd keep the edges nice and neat? I use a leather puncher, and it can punch holes in up to 2mm sheet styrene with no issues. The edges are very neat and straight, though it can be a bitch to dig the circles out of the punch if you're punching thick styrene. Also it doesn't do very well if there is not a lot of material around the area to be punched. I.e. you have a circle 10mm in diameter and you want to punch a 8mm diameter hole in the middle of it. The punch does distort the material a little, so the remnant might be a little crooked.

I've got a leather punch from years ago, but it got dropped some time back and a few of the different punches on it are dented so it can't make perfect circles in those sizes. Unfortunate, since those are the sizes that look most useful.Bistromatic posted:
I've always wondered if you could just feed these things designs, because I know one particularly popular brand uses pre-designed shapes on cartridges. If I could just plug this thing into a PC and feed it plasticard, well that would change everything.

I imagine that you wouldn't even really have to fully cut the plasticard, only score it in most cases. Either that or run up a couple layers of cardstock.

Either that or run up a couple layers of cardstock. The one my wife has comes with 2 or 3 blades of different thicknesses - it's mounted in a plastic casing that's the size of a AA battery, and you put in in and "lock" it into the holder. So it's pretty trivial. Issues I can think of: 1. I don't think there's enough downward pressure on the blade to "score" thicker pieces of plasticard, since it's not designed for that kind of resistance. 2. The material has to "attach" itself to a sticky backing sheet to hold it, so heavier plasticard probably would not stay in place during the cutting. 3. The cutter software sucks rear end. I know so much about the thing because I ended up having to do most of the work for my wife, by finding stuff, converting it to Illustrator files, and then dropping it into the software. All that being said - if I have some of the paper-thin plasticard left, I could try a test run with it. Anybody have some requests/ideas on what they'd want made?

Looking to paint some two colour desert camo IG. Colours roughly like British desert DPM, maybe with a bit more contrast so it doesn't look like a messy paintjob in 28mm with my hamfisted skills. Am I best off: 1] painting figure in the lighter khaki colour, slapping on some gryphonne sepia, highlighting the khaki and then painting the darker brown patches or 2] painting figure in the lighter khaki colour, adding the darker patches then washing it and highlighting both.

Well folks, I have some good news, and some bad news. Bad News: Your pal, Sole.Sushi, might be a flaming homo.  "Yeah, what else is new, you ponce?"Well, that leads into the good news... Ultrasonic Jewelery Cleaners. Fill them with Simple Green or LA's or whatever the hell kind of cleaner you want. Drop your minis into it. Suddenly, your overnight soak takes a fraction of the time. Added bonus: really awesome for cleaning airbrush equipment. You can get one on the cheap for 25 bucks at Wal-Mart. "That sounds awesome, Sole! How do I get one without looking like a flaming homo?"Well, do you have a wife? Live-in girlfriend? Do you live with your mother? If you answered yes to any of these questions, buy it for "them." That way, you look awesome for wanting to make sure that her precious things are taken care of, while you selfishly use it for yourself! Or, if you are a woman, skip the preface bullshit and go straight to the selfish!

So, I think I've decided on a paint scheme for my Trollblood army for Hordes. Now, I haven't painted before, so this is going to be frustrating as hell, but here I go. I wanted a very paint yellow/brown/white combination. Like a nation of desert-ish albinos or something. I figured I'd make the head quills a deep green (or maybe Cryx green), and the tartans a deep brown with a red highlight. For all metal, I wanted to mix Citadel's Mithril Silver with a bit of red to make a blood iron type of metal. I want the skin to be decidedly pale, that way the rocks/flame/frost of the warbeasts stand out even more. So, I was looking around and found some people had already used a fairly similar paint scheme. Sunshine Trolls: http://privateerpressforums.com/showthread.php?t=63&highlight=trollblood http://blog.brushthralls.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/tr_nq_bf_impaler_03.jpg Now, I want mine a bit more pale than these, but it's a good start, and it tells me they'll definitely look good when finished (or would, if I had actual skill at this). I figure my idea is to base coat with Skull White, then use P3's Yellow Ink to wash the flesh. After that, do I start mixing Bleached Bone with Sulphuric Yellow until I get the right tones? I have the idea, but I really have no idea how to mix the paint.
