Arson Fire posted:After seeing those new necrons, I'm thinking of starting an army. I painted up this guy as a test mini. I just got back into 40K after like a decade and I started collecting a small force of Necrons in preperation of the new Codex and your post really inspired me to paint over the stupid green rods on 6 of my warriors.  I'm happy with my decision but the blending of color on these rods look really rough in the picture. I'm wondering if you or anyone has any tips to make it smoother?

So these are my first real completed warhams since I stopped playing when I was 18. I just finished up two Necron Destroyers and a Destroyer Lord. I guess 'finished' isn't the right word since they don't have any flocking on the bases or what have you.       I think I really mucked up the Lord though! I got him second hand and he came posed and covered in a thick layer of paint. There was glue gunked up under his shoulder armor as well. I really should have tossed him in some Simple Green before painting him.

Gravitas Shortfall posted:Yeah man, your necrons are crisp as hell, but that lord just looks off. Also I think the gold head doesn't work, he'd be better with an all white one imo. I think you're right about that. I'm this close to spontaneously throwing the whole model into a jar of simple green for 3 days and starting over again after giving the Lord a good tooth brushing. There's just too many layers of paint on him at this point to put another one on his head.

Nice work on making really unique looking warriors. I can't tell from the picture but I'm curious what did for left hands on the warriors who have their guns gripped only in their right?

Due to some unfortunate mishaps I'm trying to glue broken staves together. More specifically staves broken off at the hand on several of my army mans. Gorilla Glue isn't working at all. So noob question: what kind of glue should I be using and where can I find it?

I paint about once a year it seems and I'm slowly adding to a decent sized Necron army. All things considered I'm afraid my Dynasty has a pretty generic and boring color scheme. Anyway here's unit of three Canoptek Wraiths that I just finished up yesterday (sorry about the crappy smartphone pics my dslr battery wasn't charged) Crits welcome.

I get mad flashbacks whenever you do an update.

Post 9-11 User posted:A bit bland, yes, but you executed it well. Washes are easy to use but getting them to apply the same way on each model takes work. That decorative base has large, flat surfaces and is begging for some transfer sheet decals! Those bases were there from when I primered the Wraiths. Since they were actually really handy to have attached to the models while I was painting I got pretty used to them being on and totally forgot to remove them before I started taking pictures. Your idea of putting transfers on them and using them as decorative bases is a pretty rad one that I might explore. I have like, six of those sheets just going to waste! Ratflinger posted:Any chance one you could elaborate on how you painted the lenses or get a close up image on them? They look really neat and I suck at painting lenses/glass-like surfaces. Going to paint some wraiths of my own in the near future and hope that I can make them look half as nice as yours. Thanks a lot! I'm not great at describing methods but it's a base coat (snot green) with wash (nuln oil) to darken then leaving the upper left untouched put a crescent of the base color around the lens. Once that dries put a brighter but smaller crescent of color over/inside the first (in this case scorpion green). Depending on the size of the lens you may want a follow with a smaller brighter crescent of color after (I didn't). Then to top it off get a small drop of white on your detail brush and put a dot in the darkest upper left most portion of the lens for the glint. I used to play 2nd ed Eldar and I busted my painting noodle doing soul stone after soul stone and I used the same general method here with the lenses.

These last couple of posts reminds me that I have a couple of staves for Necrons that I need to fix. What's the best way to fix staffs to clenched fists and what not? Super glue has been a nightmare and isn't working. I'm using Gorilla glue btw. Do I need some other brand? Do I need to pin these things together?

Thanks for the pinning advise and help everygoony. My pin vise from ebay arrived in the mail today and I managed to use bits of a paper clip, the super glue I had on hand and the smallest drill bit to put this Crypteks custom 4 piece staff together. Worked like a charm and now I'm a super fan of pinning and looking for any reason to pin things together.

Painted up a Necron Lord and Cryptek with the staff I pinned together using green rods and a couple of spare Wraith bits. Crappy iPhone pic incoming:  The original staff that came with the Cryptek broke and kind of sucked anyway. I didn't take any shots of the Lord as happy as I am with how he turned out, just because the finecast made the Warscythe all warped looking. gently caress finecast.

Noted for next time.  Actually the bits I used were from the ranged weapons the Wraiths comes with, which I didn't use. I'm pretty limited on what bits I actually have, so it's fortunate they worked out. It was my first time drilling and pinning anything. Here's a better pinhole camera from an old pizza box picture of it:

To any goons having issues with thinning their paints or paints drying up on their pallets you should seriously consider using a wet pallet. They've been mentioned lots in this thread in the past and for good reason. They're super easy to make and since I've tried using them I can't see myself going back to using a dry pallet ever again.

PyroDwarf posted:Harbinger of Despair WIP. Looking for suggestions or adjustment I can make before I finish up. Specifically, how can I make the orbs more glow-y? They look a bit chalky. Also, I guess I didn't clean the figure as well as I thought I had and missed a few spots with the primer. With my crons I start with a base coat of Warpstone Glow. Hit with a wash of Nuln Oil. Then a second hit of Warpstone while leaving the edges of the orbs dark. Then I'll water down some Scorpion Green and hit that orb in a smaller area in the center. Once that's fully dry I'll give it another smaller hit of Scorpion. Then I'll usually mix in some Sunburst Yellow with the Scorpion Green and pop on a tiny bit of that to finish off. Really gives orbs a good glow effect in contrast to my boring metal and gold scheme. I'd post a pic but I'm on my mobile. AndyElusive fucked around with this message at 06:36 on Mar 20, 2014 |

Cooked Auto posted:And now I want to paint another Valkyrie aside from all the tanks I want. Goddamn it. You could try the Angel Green spray primer by Army Painter. It looks pretty close to Castellan Green and will probably save you a lot of time. Looks good. I get a kick out of those tiny storm bolter straps. How and when are those guys (or just Termies in general) ever going to sling their weapons.

Oh man, the subtle metal sheen on the lightening claws of the Talon of Horus is loving sick, gaylord. Real nice touch. Post 9-11 User posted:This does make me realize how bad his pose is, like he's doing yoga, and how his head is way too big. The pose is fine when you see the entire model on its base and, since he's climbing the ruins of those stairs I think it looks natural. I'm also pretty sure Horus has had a big head in nearly every single thing he's ever been visually depicted in. It's practically his personal primarch mutation.

Your Typhus is the first Nurgle paint job that I've seen in a while that doesn't make me want to throw up in my mouth. I mean that as a compliment, it's a very clean and crisp paint job so far. My only suggestion is to crank up the gross factor when you start to finish it up. Or not, since I kind of dig the more corroded look over the more common pus, blood, jizz and spew motif..

I picked up a second Catacomb Barge Lord off eBay for pretty cheap since I needed a Res Orb forearm to replace one that had broken off and gotten lost from the first Barge Lord I have. Figured I'd slap on the extra Cryptek right arm I never used and make a Mindshackle Scarabs Lord... I'm not sure if it looks like he's trying to make you stop in the name of love, or if it looks like he's controlling someones brain.
