Captain Invictus posted:edit: waitwaitwaitwaitwait whoa whoa whoa. I've not actually assembled a Leviathan, but they're this big? Isn't this, like, standing next to the GW Knight Titan? For $35 less you get that much more of a bigger, badder bot. I've not followed GW in years, are they still doing well? Not collapsed under their own hubris yet? That's the 28mm Leviathan. They have two versions: that one, and a 15mm one. 28mm Leviathan: 8.5" 15mm Leviathan: 4.6" Imperial Knight: 6" Warhound Titan: 10" While the Leviathans are cheaper by an order of magnitude more than GW, they don't quite fit the sizes you'd like to use them for (knight/warhound). With the 15mm one you can make it work by increasing the base size appropriately, but the 28mm one would require more work if you wanted to use it as a Warhound. It might be possible to use the 28mm one for one of the newer FW knights like the Cerastus, but I don't know their exact height (someone in this thread might know). Another issue is that the 15mm one is stuck with the weapons it has; Dreamforge hasn't made swappable weapons for that scale, but they do have them for the 28mm one. This isn't really a problem per-se if you're inventive and have some bits hanging around, or plasticard in the plenty.

Note, I'm asking in here instead of the gundam models thread because I want to put in more effort. It's also just general airbrushing practice because I don't want to airbrush some miniature I put hours of painting time into and gently caress it up. So not so much miniatures related, but I'm planning to do my first high-effort gundam model in the coming weeks. I'm gonna airbrush all the big panels, and there's going to be a lot of white. The usual look I see when people airbrush white is that they go over with an off-white cream or something with a little yellow or brown in it, but I'm going to be aiming at a high contrast look with candy reds and lots of ghost tint use if I can find some reasons. I don't have any problem following the basic color guides adjusted for my paints, just basically repainting the plastic with some more vibrant stuff, but I'm concerned about the amount of white in the model. For reference, this is the thing:  That's a finished model with black panel lining as (I think) the only modification. I want to take all of the non-skeletal parts and airbrush them for greater color vibrancy and some special effects if I can get away with it. So my plan so far is basically Blacks: Dark grey with deep black crevices. Or, should I paint the whole thing black and airbrush a grey on the edges? Reds: Repaint with a bright red, spray outcroppings with a lighter red, candy the whole thing to bring it together, and then satin topcoat. Pinks: Bright pink with a magenta ghost tint cover. Sword blade: Repaint white and attempt to have a gradient going darker towards the tip using ghost tint plasma fluid. Whites: Unsure if I should paint just flat white or if I should do a cream white with sprayed bright white edges or what. Once everything has the base colors I'll spray all the parts gloss for protection, then do panel lining with a preferred ink for the job and wipe away excess hoping not to gently caress it up. Then a satin top coat on everything and then it's final assembly time. Again this is mainly for airbrush practice on larger pieces because I have very little experience with airbrushing, and no experience painting models larger than 50mm where you just basecoat with the airbrush and do the rest with a regular brush. For equipment reference, if it means anything, I have at my disposal a Badger 155 and a Sotar 20/20 which I could see trying to use but that thing still scares the poo poo out of me.

Captain Invictus posted:Also, I am super excited for the future models he's making, the Ada mini wasn't anything to sneeze at but the female Eisenkern are both excellent sculpts and also realistically designed and proportioned. He asked for feedback on their designs and changed them accordingly, they look fantastic and I'll be buying a few boxes as soon as he puts them out to mix in with the male Eisenkern. Oho, interesting, and here I was just going to buy these heads. But that alternative looks kinda interesting.

And 15mm leviathan weapons are in the works, but since Dreamforge is basically a one man operation, it's slow going. He's still trucking along though, I've been in full support of his work since the start and admire his dedication.

I just wish they were a tiny bit taller so that they'd be perfect stand-ins for Knights/Warhounds. But I don't think that's really his fault or anything, and adjusting the height isn't really a huge problem for me.

Asked in the Mantic thread, probably worth asking here too: Pretty sure I've picked out the airbrush I'm getting, but now comes extras - for painting my Deadzone terrain I was planning on groups of tiles in dull colours like grey, blue, olive drab, etc with highlights in other colours. Any advantage to using a coloured primer, or is doing the lot in VMA Black/White primer the best and safest option?

I might be down for a US pad order if there is room. I like the front and back (side a/b) but I think they should also offer mixing front and back. Like imperial road A and Mountain A. If their process is taking two completed sides and pouring in the resin between them then they could probably mix and match easily enough.

BULBASAUR posted:I use 90% P3 paints and love them. Their consistency is awesome with great coverage. Only real drawback is a limited color range. You'll still want to water them down, but its about 2:1 (paint:water) vs GW's 1:1. I keep mine in the pots and transfer paint out with a 'bitch brush'. If you want to transfer them into droppers you can which would make them even easier to work with. That was one thing I was gonna ask, re: coverage. I still plan on getting some Vallejo paints, as my understanding is that they cover pretty well with one or two coats (the Model Color range specifically). Is P3 pretty comparable in that regard as well? I don't expect it to cover like one of the old GW Foundation paints, of course, but if most of the P3 paints covers reasonably well in a couple of coats I'd be happy.

^^ They are good, any of them. I use Vallejo and I don't know why I would switch to anything else. Though I would definitely recommend using the Model/Game AIR line in an airbrush as I've gotten a lot of clogs trying to get diluted Model color through mine. Might be my fault might be theirs or my cheap starter airbrush, IDK.

Otherwise you'll get solid coverage and really nice consistency. I use mostly P3 and Vallejo. P3 for base colors and Vallejo for metallics. I always heard bad things about P3 metallics so I've switched entirely over to Vallejo for that.

you accidentally painted a necron. It's well-executed, but I can't say I really enjoy the color scheme, which is obviously a matter of personal taste. Other than that, well-done.

I eventually plan on getting some Vallejo paints as well, so that way I can pick and choose which paints I want to use for a project. I'd also heard that Vallejo's metallics (I think it was the Model Air ones? The ones that were designed for airbrushing and so have really fine metallic flakes in them) were really good, so I'll grab some of them down the road here. Also I just got some Vallejo Surface Primer in the mail and I'm very impressed with it. I got the USN Light Ghost Grey and it really goes on quite nicely thus far.

The two guides on the right are downright ancient (and thin!). Red one is from 1992, blue is from 1989 and has the foreword written by John Blanche  I found a ton of old stuff; Double set of Gorka Morka, 3rd ed 40k rulebooks, all my old Warhammer Fantasy rulebooks and Battle Magic books, old Space Hulk rules, Epic 40k rules, some very good condition Citadel Journals, Warhammer General's Compendium, just a ton of stuff. Still more to look through and sort, ready to sell. Hope to make some nice scratch from it all.
