Ork converters are the single best redeemer of this goddamn hobby. EDIT: Going to use my status as a top-of-pager to dedicate this page to amazing Ork conversions.

That Mr. Potato Head Stompa is my favorite Ork conversion. Edit: Went looking for the conversion log for potato stompa and...wow, how have I not seen this guy's page before? He is the God of all things Orky. http://www.irondogstudios.com/ Chet AwesomeLaser fucked around with this message at 22:36 on Apr 13, 2011 |

Here to bug this thread again: I guy at my store wants me to paint a water elemental for him, and I have no idea how to make it look good. Help! I was thinking of just priming it white, and going the usual route of darker to lighter blues and then washing it to blend better, but I'm not sure if that would suffice.

You could just prime it white and the wash it with blue, leave the concentration of the wash to create your shadows and highlights. Leave the highest parts white like the crests of waves* *This is dependent on what sort of water elemental it is.

I was considering doing it a sea-green instead of a standard blue but since it isn't mine I don't want to experiment and have it turn out like poo poo.

If you gave us a link or picture that would go a long way towards giving us a better idea of what to tell you; is it more anthropomorphic or some kind of floating blob? Etc.

Oh, I forgot to mention: it's this guy http://paizo.com/image/product/catalog/TSR/TSR95052-20_500.jpeg (can't upload at work) So it doesn't really look like water. If anything it'll look like blue flame, but he wants it done and it won't take more than half an hour to do, I hope.

Maybe basecoat a mid-blue, wash it a bunch with green/blue washes, then lightly drybrush with an offwhite all over and then again with white-white on the facial features?

Anyone have leftover GKT bits? I'm looking for stormbolter arms and one of those ward staves in particular. Actually the regular GK stave is the same I think so that would work too.

get dem rivets with a little bit of brown ink or something. Thin it down a bunch and don't use a whole lot, just enough to add some shading e crime fighting hog posted:painting on some turpentine after using it. nuncle jimbo fucked around with this message at 04:20 on Apr 14, 2011 |

I want to try out some of that rust powder. Any good links for buying and what do I do to make it stay on? I've heard of either just spraying varnish on it or painting on some turpentine after using it.

It looks super bad-rear end, and you can vary the amount of rust you have from light to loving all over.

Wondermoose posted:You can't really see it that well in the pictures, but the brush strokes are pretty visable, and the gradients in the orange kind of suck even though I did like 15 coats. Blending is another one of those things thats all down to practice and skill. I still can't blend so my oranges and yellows always look pretty crap. I second doing something with the rivets though, they have so many and look really good when they stand out.

Washout is right re: blending. Just takes time and practice. If you're getting brush strokes, thin your paint more.

Alright, not 100% done but I wanted to ask for a bit of advice.    Should I color the hilt of the blade gold or silver? Should I leave the rest of the pole black, not really sure what to color it. There are touch ups, but these are the ones I'm not sure about.

Thanks for the advice on my juggernaught guys, I'll wash the rivets with devlan mud or something and pick them out with a brighter highlight next time.

Pw pw pw, I love that servo skull. Anyone have advice on using oil paints on your models ? I'm going to be trying out some W&N Winton Burnt Umber on my Eldar. It'll be for shading blood red, both through the airbrush and for making a wash for the panel grooves. Over at least one coat of gloss, obviously.

I saw some awesome basing tutorials that used tree bark for boulders and such. I'd like to try it but the guides didn't mention anything as to if I should wash the bark first to clean off some dirt or if it takes paint any differently. I assume I prime it and paint it as normal but does anyone here do the same?

Bare bark is probably a lot more absorbant of paint than it would be if it were primed, so I'd go ahead and prime it first.

Bavius posted:It's like Snoopy the marine. But I don't mean that in a bad way, colors and blade look good. I would say not gold on the hilt of the blade, a boltgun with black wash feels right. For reals, after reading the last few posts I am inspired to paint, does not happen usually. Way to go.

WhiteOutMouse posted:It's like Snoopy the marine. You just made me think... Bright red spear! Like his house. This isn't being goofy, either. Bright red is an effective counterpoint to blue and white--that's why it's on so many flags. And this way, he's the  or  spacewolf. or  or :newzealand:... or    It's a *really* good combo, and I think it would look sharp. And also it would be a fun kind of nickname/homage to an awesome character.

His actual technique is, first, he takes a base color, applies it wet, and then puts the model near his amp. He then shreds and rips, causing the vibrations of the stereo to blow the paint thinner in some areas, and lighten them--letting the base coat shine through. Then, he stands behind a waterfall of paint, his axe at the ready, and tearing out killer fingering, the power of his playing is transmitted through the waterfall causing it to spray, like the blood of a stabbed beast, at the model--never landing on an area that shouldn't have stars, despite not using any masking. Finally, cranking it all the way, he plays a single powerchord--electricity leaps from his instrument, through paint pots of his choosing, and writhes across the model like a snake made of chromatic lightning. The image of its passing is indelibly seared on the skiff and it is infused with ROCK. he's going to make a video tutorial and post it on youtube.
