I did a post on the various half-assed ways I paint grungy metals for Orks on EoW yesterday, which may be relevant to your interests if you've not already seen it: http://forums.eternityofwar.com/showpost.php?p=148188&postcount=43. I can never remember who posts there and who doesn't. (May contain Panzer Aces rust) Edit: Also richyp's rust recipe: http://blog.eternityofwar.com/2009/07/painting-rusty-metal-ork-style/

Well goons, what are you currently painting? I'm finishing up the body of my soul grinder and now just have the legs to do, which I plan on milling through tomorrow (I strongly believe in doing nothing on your birthday).

Painting me up a Vyper. Against all reason and intuition, I am trying to get this stupid vallejo crackle medium to work on the canopy. I managed to get it to work on a sample, so wish me luck with the airbrush!

I painted up a bunch of terrain with my airbrush today, similar to what I posted last time. Going to probably knock out a demon prince and oblits tomorrow.

I'm ok with the land speeder conversion, knew it was based on that classic article from WD or whatever. The Land Raider is what made me post the pic. It's retarded as hell.

Do any of you have experience of the Army Painter white primer compared to GW and/or Halfords Primer White ? My own experience of GW is that the cans tend to be poo poo and spit a lot, and that Halfords has as much tooth as the star of a gerontophile porno.

crime fighting hog posted:Let me know how it goes and how you did it in detail, because I wanted to try the same thing with the Soul Grinder's armored plates. What worked pretty well on my sample (which is the curved side of a small plastic cup) is the following: 1) Prime with black gesso 2) Basecoat of vermin brown (two coats) 3) Coat of thinned PVA glue 4) Apply crackle medium, and wait 20-25 minutes 5) Single layer of Bleached Bone Now, the issue with it is that you can't apply multiple coats over the crackle medium, a second coat will destroy the effect. This is why I'm going with the airbrush, hoping to get good enough coverage without messing with the finish. The other problem I anticipate is that you can't wash or drybrush either - at least not on the initial finish. If you hit it with a varnish to fix the crackle, you might be able to toy with it, I'm going to give that a try and see how it goes. Edit: Oh, the medium doesn't work on small surfaces at all, I drove myself to madness trying to get it to function on Guardian helmets and even 1cm sq. test plates. I have no idea how big the soul grinder areas you are talking about are, but keep that in mind. I'll try to not be a slacker and actually document what I do so I can share it if it works.

crime fighting hog posted:What's everyone's recipe for rust? I just use boltgun with increasing amounts of orange, but I figured someone here knows better without buying some weather powders. Protip if you don't want to buy/can't find weathering powder, use ground up artist pastels (not oil pastels obviously). It is the same poo poo, cheaper, and there is a wider variety of colours.

Looking for some advice on my first project using Green Stuff. The idea is to have an abandoned Rock Lobber sitting alone and overgrown in the jungle. At the moment I feel that I screwed up the top of the tree since I couldn't be bothered making more branches. The only solution I've come up with so far is to keep adding leaves till it starts looking decent. Option B and C would be just going with it as it is or ripping the whole top off and add some branches. Any other criticism or suggestions involving sculpting or painting this would be very welcomed.    Also, the only way I can get grass for basing would involve ordering it from Maelstrom Games and waiting for 3 weeks, so I was thinking of doing the whole base covered in green stuff. Would this be doable or should I just go place an order?

So I've been trying to make up a base that looks like a cobbled or brick floor for some fantasy minis. I think I've finally got it! Pictures are below and I'm just waiting for goon approval before I make a bunch more.

I think you may need to trim those down quite a bit. Brick cobbles are going to have those proportions, but the cement holding them in place comes almost level with the top so you wouldn't see it. I wouldn't want to walk on those the way they are now  Super tall sprue bricks always look terribly wrong to me whenever people post them. You really shouldn't need a depth difference of more than 1mm to sell cobbles.

I was actually going to put sand between the bricks pre painting so the "cement" had texture and some flock afterwards to be mouldy growth but if enough people think they're still too prominent then I'll have to do something about it. The only reason I didn't already is I can't find my damnable sand paper!

It's a cool idea, but I agree with Shallow. You could try filling in the cracks as you said, but I think the height above the level of the actual base will still be kinda wonky. I read a tutorial at some point that used plaster of paris (some kind of putty might work too). They put down a thin layer, then carved the cobble shapes into that.

If you wanted to fill them, youd definitely need a really fine sand

^^^^^^L0VE posted:Looking for some advice on my first project using Green Stuff... If this is your first project with green stuff, you're doing awesome so far. If you are worried about the leaves, you may want to look into using a different medium than green stuff: using existing plastic tree bits can save you a lot of time and headache, but if you want to green stuff all the leaves yourself, you might be better in starting over. Before you do so, however, try taking a sheet of green stuff and sculpting it to look like a leaf canopy. Let it cure on a slightly curved surface, like an upturned bowl, and see how that looks. If you like it, make a few more of various sizes and then attach them to the tree trunk once everything is cured up. As for the grass... Order it. Greenstuffing grass is easy enough, but doing broad areas will be cost inefficient and will drive you mad. You may wait three weeks, but in the end it will be worth it. Reginald Garibaldi posted:I was actually going to put sand between the bricks pre painting so the "cement" had texture and some flock afterwards to be mouldy growth but if enough people think they're still too prominent then I'll have to do something about it. That might work just fine, but make sure you use fine grain sand to fill in the deepest parts first. Or, you could shave it down some. Honestly though, keeping them like they are allows you to do some interesting effects you couldn't do otherwise such as making uneven cobblestones or having exposed patches of clay and dirt.

Ok judging from the mixed bag of comments I think i'll shave them down a little but not too much to allow for more variety and customization. I wonder if people would buy them if I put them on eBay....

So, I'm getting back around to painting my Plague Marines, and I came across this really excellent green in the White Dwarf Archive of the Chaos Space Marine Tactica https://www.games-workshop.com/MEDIA_CustomProductCatalog/m230019a_Chaos_Space_Marine_Tactica Here is an image crop of the dude in question:  My question is if any of you much better painters have any idea how to get that kind of green? I have access to Citadel, Vallejo, and P3 easily, so whatever mix would work. Many thanks in advance, and Death to the False Emperor.
