You can also load the front up with powder and then blast thinner through an airbrush front the front to give you movement effects on planes/skimmers too.

Forge World guard and more more 'true to scale' compared to their marines. This means they're a lot smaller than regular guard.

ineptmule posted:I think the Elysians go even further though - I have some of the Hazardous Environment Cadian bits which are smaller than regular Chadians but still look pretty huge on the Elysian legs. Thats because the Cadian bits are designed to go on GW plastics. Elysians are Forgeworld through and through. The Death Korps are the same, much smaller.

The Sisko posted:Speaking of Primarchs doesn't Lorgar have the same thing going on with some little spikes on his mace? Not really, they're in semi circles so its fairly easy to get them situated. Nothing however comes close to the ballache of the Pteruges on Fulgrims tabard. Having to not only trim these 3mm pieces of resin out from a flat sheet and then stick them on individually was a nightmare. They give you extra, which is good because I fired a few across the room.

LumberingTroll posted:People just dont understand how long it takes to paint things, and if you want "top" quality it takes even longer. A top quality Knight would take what, 15 hours of work Id say. at $300 thats $15/hr good luck finding a good artist in any field that will work for that little. This is why I wont ever paint for anyone else, that and im not that good A top quality knight would be a weeks work since you could do some ludicrous things on those flat panels. I put 20+ into most of my Primarchs and if I was to paint a knight, even with liberal airbrush work to do the boring bits I'd be looking at 25 to 30 for my best. Most people that paint commission work do it so close to minimum wage its not feasible.

He'd be looking at at least £200 per Knight, even from the airbrush jockeys.

Model air paints are the business with brushwork too. Caution when mixing them with other lines or paint brands though. They don't tend to mix that well with things aside from other VMA paints.

Takkaryx posted:I'm painting up some minis for my group's DnD characters. The party recently killed a giant crab, and of course our druid promptly made giant crab armor. I've decided that it was a purple dungeness ( White undercoat, then a heavy wash of a sepia tone. Then you can start bringing in the other colours in washes and then stipple on some of the more striking colours to give it a random, mottled look building up the colour closer to the center of the carapace.

Fyi for anyone that wants to build Vulkan/Mortarion/Curze, you have to leave the shoulder pads off if you want to paint the cloaks seperately or you'll have to tear them off to get it to fit. You can just about fit Lorgars cape on afterwards but its bullshit nightmare 1000.

berzerkmonkey posted:Haha, not any more - those dipsticks at GW decided it would be a good idea for the bottom line to ship all their stuff to China and pay someone pennies to cast resin models. Unfortunately for GW, those same companies just use the molds to cast stuff they sell on the side. They havent had anything bar books made in china for about 5 years now just FYI.

The Sisko posted:Thanks for the feedback guys. I'm working on those highlights on the face as we speak and now that you mention it I could push the highlights on the armor some more ( I was afraid it look too busy). Also I can confirm Gaylord is right ; that cape was a colossal loving nightmare to put on with the shoulderpads. I gave up trying to take Curzes shoulder pads off as they're so delicate and just cut the cape to fit.

You can line the goriest parts of the Wolfen zombie with a purple ink and really make it look wet and horrid. Tiny amount goes a long way. I like what you've done with those models.
