sour hill

@lapis tundra I'd probably get those if I did anything with Resin

#

I'm also going to pick those up for more kitbashes.

#

Wish I could just get new legs

#

Scrape your knee? Not anymore, you got stainless steel caps

dusk hill
#

so long as we leave everything above the knees intact

#

human thighs are one of our best features and i refuse to see them turn to metal

lapis tundra
#

Ez fix incan, just get some plate armor and keep ur legs

dusk hill
#

idk plate armour doesn't look v breathable for casual wear to me

lapis tundra
#

Wear regular clothes on top

summer pawn
#

My two last SM Boi

#

Next i need Iron Warrior and Iron Hand heraldry

#

Yeah idc about lore friendly a bit for that

#

And my BF decided to make me this one ❤️

#

@vivid runeThose look REALLY nice.

vivid rune
#

@sour hill Deadly Print Studios, cant reccomend them enough

#

You can buy their stuff as files or as actual stuff shipped to you

#

So

#

I got a retributors squad

#

Wtf weapon do i build them with? Idk the difference between a heavy bolter, melta, and heavy flamer

dusk hill
edgy cipher
#

The heavy bolter is all about stationnary anti heavy infantry weapon, a good space marine killer, the heavy flamer just straight up anihilates anything that has the stats of a normal human and the melta is the close range anti vehicle weapon that also works well on heavy infantry

#

Imo id go for heavy meltas because its just a really good weapon in general

vivid rune
#

I am building a bloody rose army for my sisters so idk how well which weapon fits with that list @edgy cipher

dusk hill
#

i imagine so long as like. if u go for flamers u have smthn else on ur roster to perform anti armour vibes, or vice versa if u go with meltas or whatever

#

idk what competitive vibes are like but

vivid rune
#

I went with bolters because they look cool

dusk hill
#

nods

Update ork

median pumice
#

Jeebus. Thats gorgeous. Awesome yellows, and how did you get such a smooth coat on those pants @sage matrix ?

sage matrix
#

All comes down to the primer

#

Started with a white, = less build up of thin layers

#

More room for more gradient layers

median pumice
#

It looks great!

@edgy cipher thx! Built 2 as bolters already but my sprue frame doesnt allow me to build all of one unit type for some reason

edgy cipher
#

Np, if you need ttp advices I don't mind a quick ping

dusk hill
#

that looks amazing, where did u get it?

#

painting it must be a joy, given it's basically just one constant stone-ish grey that u can flex with highlighting all over

rose sluice
#

on ebay

#

idk how i'm going to paint it tbh

summer pawn
#

Vrrrrrrr

i like the helmet

#

anyone good with greenstuff? I added some tiny bit I made out of green stuff the other day on the end of a gun but for some reason it won't stick

#

what can i do to reinforce this?

median pumice
#

Can you take a picture @twilit cliff ? Might need some more reinforcing maybe?

twilit cliff
#

how would you reinforce that? it's pretty teeny tiny

#

it's a dumb experiment but it'd be nice if i could mold the rifle into having a different silhouet

median pumice
#

Hmm... instead of using greenstuff have you thought of using a small bit of plasticard? Then form it into a funnel and cut off whatever excess you may have from the cone?

twilit cliff
#

i have thought of it but not in the way you suggest

#

my first thought was just cutting the shape out of plasticard and glueing it on but uh

#

the way i cut plasticard is a bit bad

#

but im assuming the problem is the lack of surface are that sticks together?

twilit cliff
#

i went back and carefully fixed the first one with a measured amount of glue on both ends

#

and made another with more surface area

#

we'll see what sticks

summer pawn
#

Mmmh

#

Should i take one for my Mechanicus army 🤔

edgy cipher
#

A sister for a Mechanicus army ?

hoary ermine
#

conversion material

#

people use a lot of sisters components due to their scale and neat-ness

summer pawn
edgy cipher
#

Yeah but they don't apply

summer pawn
#

Yup...

edgy cipher
#

Thankfully

summer pawn
#

Maybe i can modify rules for her to get more into Mechanicus cult

#

And demand to play her in party

#

(Thanks this rule GW)

edgy cipher
#

You mean for tabletop or ttprpg ?

summer pawn
#

Uuuuuh

#

Tabletop

#

Tabletop is playing minis irl right ?

lapis tundra
#

Yee

summer pawn
#

So, yes

sour hill
summer pawn
#

XD

sour hill
#

If you mean to play on tabletop I don't think that works.

#

But

#

I love the model so much.

summer pawn
#

I can write some rule and guess to my friends if i can play with her, and if they say yes, its ok

sour hill
#

For sure. I bet you could use her (with some kitbashing) as anything you want if they'll allow.

sour hill
#

Armour is done. Axe is here. Renn Faire here I come.

#

Just gotta get my body all painted up that morning and it's ON

dusk hill
#

! hell yeah

twilit cliff
#

neat

#

oh i want some feedback before this greenstuff cures

#

and hopefully sticks

#

got some inspiration from pinterest

#

To adjusting the arms like this

sour hill
#

@twilit cliff YES. If you can pull it off so that he has the gauntlet at the top of that chainsword.

#

Its a very badass pose.

twilit cliff
#

that's probably not going to work but i hade some inspiration elsewhere for the pose

#

ideally he'd have a neutral pose walking forward

#

This powersword in the relaxed right arm

#

The left arm i want to experiment with and magnetize at the wrist to add either nothing, a shield, or some sort of gun

#

a bit like this guy i found on pinterest also

#

also i realize the powersword is a leftie but i have an idea to change that around also, should be very difficult

vale sleet
#

I gotta say, dawn of war voices give me seratonin

hasty sorrel
#

So planning a new campaign for Only War, gonna be sniper dropship troopers vs tau doing HVT and critical location strikes

#

Thinking humans under tau rule for standard patrols, fire warriors closer to certain checkpoints, and then a few rare devilfish/stealthsuit teams

#

although

#

stealth suits feel mean in this

median pumice
#

Oof. Yeah.

#

How about instead of just encountering them, they're sent in if they make too much noise, or don't eliminate their targets cleanly enough?

hasty sorrel
#

thats what i've just been thinking on

#

and maybe just a pair of em to spook the party

#

their guns are also pretty nasty

dusk hill
#

would be a cool oops! u fucked up thing

hasty sorrel
#

thinking atm mostly like

#

on foot patrols, maybe a few devilfish with squads in close to major locations and then some battlesuits at actual defended locations

#

(thinking a pair of broadsides atm, need to review their firepower first)

elfin yew
#

If stealthsuits are that strong I imagine broadsides are going to be insane

hasty sorrel
#

the main spook on stealth suits is the stealth

#

not that broadsides are any more pleasant, but atleast they can be seen and arent exactly a hard target haha

#

Enormous means people get a +20 to shoot at it (d100 system) and since someone has a lascannon...

#

thats gonna hurt

#

although im biased and broadsides are my fav battlesuit

dusk hill
#

s a m e

#

i love the new broadside design so much

#

absolute chad

hasty sorrel
#

whats the difference between the new and old?

dusk hill
#

the old is the one that was in dawn of war

#

with the goofy shoulder railguns

hasty sorrel
#

oh

#

i kinda love those

dusk hill
#

new one has the one big cannon and i adore it

hasty sorrel
#

you also can still set it up as that iirc

dusk hill
#

i do sorta like the old one too but like, idk, it doesn't have the presence u know? the vibe

hasty sorrel
#

also the railgun is spooky

dusk hill
#

the newer one looks like you immediately become a recollection if this thing so much as clips u

hasty sorrel
#

fair

#

but mostly thinking broadsides in key locations cause the party has a sentinel with them

#

so need to disuade him running amok

#

They have the capacity to take the broadsides out, they just need to do it correctly

#

which is sorta the theme for the campaign haha

median pumice
#

Like.... If I was a blue space communist, I

hasty sorrel
#

Devilfish is more for roadways and stuff

#

less active patrols and more groups moving between sectors

median pumice
#

I'd like... go for a distributed defence. Like... Devilfish and large concentrations in a place between major objectives

hasty sorrel
#

I tend to less plan encounters and more

#

put enemies around the place moving on w/e path makes sense for the task they are given

#

and then the players encounter enemies when and where they find them

#

Idea being this is far enough behind enemy lines they don't have artillery support, but close enough to the front the enemy are still somewhat on alert

#

the squad playing paratroops will be doing stealth ops to try and hit key points (unsure if i'm going to make it linear or open)

#

So bumping into like, a devilfish moving between 2 compounds cause the players stray too close to a road is something that could happen

#

but if they just fuck off into the forest, they're more likely to come across guevesa or fire warriors

#

maybe some kroot if i'm feeling particularly bully

median pumice
#

ahhh gotcha

#

I just figured something like this? Sorta abstract, but basically the same thing you said lol

hasty sorrel
#

i have uhh

#

2 ideas

#

lemme do paint a sec

#

My initial idea is similair to what u said

#

3 points, connecting roads, blue zones are like "influence zones", where the heavier patrols are

#

outside of those areas only really the roads are patrolled, other than maybe some smaller teams of pathfinders or drone sweeps

#

central green area is an urban zone, which may have an optional timed objective come up for high risk high reward (HVT coming in for a few days, but the city is the heaviest defended zone)

#

like a "You NEED to avoid this zone, but...."

#

2nd idea is a bit more linear, pushing up a valley with steady growing levels of patrol as they deal with key points (such as taking out check points or tidewall stations)

#

was about to say can discuss this one in full hear cause none of my players are here

#

then i remembered zherlum exists

#

fuck

#

i'm concerned cause i saw proud start typin

elfin yew
#

I might've just accidentally mashed spac eo rsmthing

#

Sometimes discord typing just... appears

hasty sorrel
#

lmao

median pumice
#

lol. Whelp. I mean, you can always just change things.

#

I wish you the best of luck in your campaign @hasty sorrel !

hasty sorrel
#

thanks im gonna need it

#

if nothing else, atleast the above is vague and inconclusive

#

since i didnt decide on an idea or exactly what to put where

median pumice
#

you got this. I'm sure your players are gonna enjoy themselves

hasty sorrel
#

Live in hope haha

#

Only Gm'd twice before

#

first one lasted 2 years so must be doing something right, but hell if i know what

median pumice
#

Honestly, as long as you have fun thats the good part

edgy cipher
hasty sorrel
#

bitch

edgy cipher
#

Thank you for the critical info

#

Nerd

#

Huh so they did a quick bandaid fix for melee in Hired Gun

#

Until they can do a full rework

twilit cliff
#

wasnt the problem that melee just felt out of place?

edgy cipher
#

Nah it was melee made you immune for a few seconds and healed you a little amount

#

And that you could chain it if the enemies didn't have a shield

#

Its moreso an issue on lower levels when the game isn't difficult and the enemies are weak

twilit cliff
#

oh you mean the uh

#

like the glory kills from doom but you could use them anytime anywhere

#

what i meant is wasnt there also like a melee weapon or something that nobody ever used

edgy cipher
#

Yeah , they are reworking the melee but for now the band aid is that you need to fill a jauge to actually do a glory kill now

twilit cliff
#

that's fair i guess

#

if the gameplay flows well

edgy cipher
#

The power knife is cool but the other powers are broken next to it

twilit cliff
#

what i want to see is an endgame option

#

yeah the power rife, i thought you meant they had a bandaid fix for that somehow

#

either gimme a good endgame option or make it fifteen bucks

edgy cipher
#

Nah 15 bucks is too low

#

Its already like 30

#

People undervalue games too much nowadays

twilit cliff
#

yeah i value my wallet more

edgy cipher
#

Understandable

sour hill
#

So it begins.

#

I need to pick up my Ork paints though.

#

And once I get to a certain point I have to wait for my rust to come in.

#

All of my metal is going to be rusty.

lapis tundra
#

God i have too much shit to finish, ork building metal walls are finished but thats about it, not sure when im gonna finish it

sour hill
#

Yeah. My work from home days are sometimes very slow.

#

So I have my laptop beside me and can paint.

#

Just take calls/answer emails when they come in.

lapis tundra
#

We got photography rn have to travel through town and take random pics, also gonna finish a presentation till next wednesday

summer pawn
#

Damn that was a thick Leman Russ

sour hill
#

So it turns out that Militarum green is the PERFECT base colour for Ork skin for the tone I like.

#

I need to get some bright coloured layer paints finally.

#

Thank you! Its JUST the contrast layers so far.

#

So we'll see if I can make it look good with my top coats too.

#

I also have to wait for my rust paints to come in the mail. All the metal I'm painting is going to have some heavy rust effect

#

Dirty Orks. 🙏

#

I love fimir so much

#

actually tho where do u even buy them now

#

are they on FW?

rose sluice
#

i don't think you can get them now

#

cause you can;t use them anymore

#

i got mine of ebay

#

people might have the stl though

#

i'd love to have the noble tbh

#

they still had rules for 1st edition of AoS but haven't been usable so i guess they just took them out of print

sour hill
#

Daaaang

#

Still a great model.

rose sluice
#

he's handsome

yee the fimir noble in particular is gorgeous

elfin yew
#

I assume Fimir got axed because of their edgelord lore

#

Then again Beastmen stayed but I figure thats because they were bigger

dusk hill
#

tbh i just automatically filter the old edge fluff out

elfin yew
#

Its a good choice

#

That part of beastmen fluff got soft rconned I think

dusk hill
#

||raping human women to reproduce, same with beastmen||

They didnt have the model line to be worth recovering from that lire

Unlike Beasts

#

My birthday was today. This guy was the the highlight

#

Pretty hyped to build him

#

Not so much to paint him

dusk hill
#

!!! ooh

#

lowkey i've had an assembled knight lying around for months now

#

actually painting them is uh. strenuous

dusk osprey
#

Yeah even in my relatively simple deathwatch paint pattern I'm not looking forward to it

#

I'm thinking I'll paint him black with silver trim, a coloured pauldron, and a coloured shin on the opposite leg

dusk hill
#

That could work! I am personally a lil shifty about painting any big flat/not-very-highlightable surface black, without areas to highlight it can feel sorta ah yes exposed primer to me

dusk osprey
#

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't worried about it. It worked for my dreadnoughts, but they're much smaller

#

Whatevs, I'll fuck around with it

#

worst case I have to strip a little paint

dusk hill
#

#

good luck!

#

it's been super humid here lately so my priming has been unusually smooth

i should probably just prime all of it while i have the chance osdg

Well I’ve added a fair bit of details that my old phone can’t pick up ;w; the heads all silvery and the body has silver stuff going on around the purple, but otherwise it’s just the base that needs work for me

# elfin yew Since they couldve p easily just been baked into chaos

Watched some guy do a vid on it. Fimir where basically doomed from the start because they were sized wrong from the sculptor’s original idea. 40ml bases for something that wasn’t strong enough to warrant them. Plus their dodgy lore which got retconned the same way the beastmen lore did

#

Their model range was never got big enough for them to get the beastmen love

Big E has been lacking a true mini for Horus heresy stuff and before, but I think that works pretty well

median pumice
#

Truuuue. Though I bet once the horus heresy finishes up, they're gonna release a limited edition book with the model as a preorder

#

For the lion pauldron, I'm thinking of using a mix of like true gold for the face, and differing shades of gold for the mane, and then silver for the fangs, with like red jewels for the eyes?

#

Right now I'm stressing on face tutorials.

#

I'm trying to make his skin tone that ambiguous golden brown that GW classically put him as

#

I'm gonna base his skintone and eyes on the hero of Turkish Star Wars

Tbh he was born in Anatolia so him choosing to be a movie-star for a short while does fit his character

Awesome gold highlights!

Er... Carapace haha

#

The gold carapace is really cool, never thought of using blue but now I like it a lot for the bugs

surreal iris
#

based the paint job off of a fanfiction, in which the main Tyranids main colors were blue and gold

median pumice
#

They must have eaten Ultramarines lololol I kid

surreal iris
#

the purple was just because I didn't know of any secondary color and I wanted something to connect it with my other Killteam only models

median pumice
#

The purple stabby bits are nice!

actually, both of them are gold

And I'm waiting for all my rust paints to come.

"Youz Paint Da Shooty Bitz Yellow"

crisp forge
#

BUT IT LOOKS LIKE IT GOT DEEP-FRIED

sour hill
#

LMFAO

crisp forge
#

rip

sour hill
#

I haven't added any layers to it, just coloured it all yellow to start.

#

Most of it's going to get covered up with more metal to rust.

#

But I wanted to hit everything with yellow that I could.

median pumice
#

Ahhh gotcha

sour hill
#

Yellow is one of those colours that when you paint/drybrush it; it will stain EVERYTHING around it.

#

Badly.

#

So I figure hit EVERYTHING yellow and then I can do a thin layer over.

median pumice
#

Ahhh gotcha. I never painted with yellow so that's interesting to know. Cooool

sour hill
#

Here. This is with the basillicanum grey over top.

#

So it's sort of already got a rusty look

#

Still got a long way to go though. This dude has so many tiny details ALL over.

median pumice
#

That effect is siiiiick

sour hill
#

And I won't even get my rust paints for like 2 weeks+ :[

#

But I figure if I just get him 90% done and then add rust where I want it I'll be good to go.

median pumice
#

Any mini you finish means we can buy five more. The curse of the mini hobbies continues

sour hill
#

LMFAO. Legit

#

Once these are done, then we buy more Orks.

#

To finish the MAIN army for the diorama.

median pumice
#

If the lore has taught me anything, there always more orks. You're just following the lore

twilit cliff
sour hill
#

@twilit cliff I started with white primed, Militarum green as the contrast base layer and then Warboss green.

#

I like the darker colour tone for Orks.

#

I love that you designed all these guys.

Its fun

You should. I love seeing your art come to life!

#

Did some minor detail work on the big E today. Just some silver highlights and attached his bird and halo. Need I do the ropes and feel like that chest emblem needs something... not sure what though

#

I'm thinking the ropes in a pinkish red would really set them off

sour hill
#

Yooo. That looks beautiful so far!

#

I think pink/red would look fantastic of a wine/purple red.

#

Both have that royal feeling.

#

If you use Citadel paints a mix of Wide Rider Red and White Scar makes a fantastic pink/red hue.

median pumice
#

I've defintely got some white scar I think. I'll mess around

#

The cape is the one giving me fits right now though

#

I have no idea what to do with that icon lmao

#

Is it feathers? Is it fur?

#

Who knows?

sour hill
#

Oooo

#

What inspires you more?

#

Screw fitting the mold of what it "should" be. What do you like the idea of?

tiny cairn
#

Need to touch up metallics but I think I'm happy with my test model for kt krieg

median pumice
#

Lovely shade of green @tiny cairn !

sour hill
#

Yes!

#

What green is it?

median pumice
sour hill
#

Feathers it is.

#

You gonna do some tipped plumes or anything special?

median pumice
#

Honestly, I think just off white or white feathers, and then make the icon gold and silver and see where it takes me lmao

sour hill
#

I dig it either way.

tiny cairn
#

Various combinations of the three, excuse the neon shorts

#

The majority is just goblin green, but edge highlights are 1/2 lemon 1/2 goblin

#

I find that yellow needs a big ratio to make a difference for green because yellows weak to begin with and is already present in green

median pumice
#

Its a good mix!

#

It looks really sharp

sour hill
#

I like it though. Makes me think these are vat boys that were sent to fight in Catachan jungles.

tiny cairn
#

yeah I wasn't liking it before but after letting it sit during vacation and after my first pass of touchups/mudding it I am a fan

#

this was it before edge highlights and stuff I also tried it with a gray helmet and that did not look good

#

I like the mud look but it feels bad to nick up a paintjob you are proud of lol

dusk hill
#

oooh

#

i love the colour scheme

tiny cairn
#

Yeah the more I think about it I am just making dr doom krieg and I'm okay with that

sour hill
#

Sick AF bro.

tiny cairn
#

This is a bs choice to have to make

median pumice
#

Quick question: what do you think about the lion shoulderpad? Just finished a nuln wash trying to get more of the details

tiny cairn
#

have you nuln oiled this part yet? I think that would help it to pop more

#

maybe do some edge highlights on the upper raised parts of the lion as well

median pumice
#

I

#

I'll try it. Its one of those things thatslike... ahh IO can only do too much gold and silver? lmao

tiny cairn
#

yeah metalics are a pain

median pumice
#

So I'mhopinjg the wash like brings outmore detail I can pick up in silver later on

tiny cairn
#

this selection is making me want to buy the individual box of krieg if its not too expensive (this is the design intent ofc)

#

what do you folk use more plastic glue or super glue? I use a combination myself, I only use plastic glue to merging points

dusk hill
#

I always use plastic, I only really keep superglue around at all for metal models

tiny cairn
#

I don't like the finality of plastic glue

sour hill
#

@tiny cairn Demo vet all day

#

Sick AF pose.

tiny cairn
#

yeah, it'd be nice to have a sniper though lol

#

I could always just sub my larkin for it

#

or go madlad mode and defy gw by magnetizing the pose lol

sour hill
#

I use plastic glue for everything except my basing/attaching to natural bases.

tiny cairn
#

thats just asking to lose one of the heads though

sour hill
#

And Elmer's glue for the actual basing material attachment.

median pumice
#

Ahh gotcha. I usually use Tamiya plastic glue for the inital assembly, and superglue for when I do sub assemblies so it doesnt mess with the paintjob

sour hill
#

The big thing is just know what will be exposed and what won't be.

median pumice
#

yee

sour hill
#

But yeah, plastic glue will FUCK up a good paint job.

#

If you get any on your fingers.

#

Bye bye.

median pumice
#

I just realized, there is a slight gap with the cape and the main torso.... I'm gonna need to fill it with putty filler so its like smooth

#

God, I need to strip a little paint... lmao

sour hill
#

LOL

#

2 thin coats. 🙏

#

I try and live by it.

#

Sometimes I end up with 3-4 though depending on my layering.

#

😔

median pumice
#

When the time comes, I'm gonna try and just... sand it a little and then repaint <_<

sour hill
#

👁️

#

Best of luck.

#

That terrifies me to think of.

median pumice
#

It might. MIGHT be hidden by the pauldrons.

#

Oh God it does. One less thing to worry about lmao

#

Yea, did a test, and the GIANT PAULDRONS cover the gap from the cape to the main body

hoary ermine

# tiny cairn This is a bs choice to have to make

You do know that the lasgun/sniper arms can be used on other bodies too, right? it recommends you build them on that body, but you don't have to. The Demo guy is kinda constrained to that pose however at least for his right arm (I guess you could do it on a standing guy if you rigged up something for the plunger to sit on?)

twilit cliff
#

Question for those in the know

#

Are custodes bits bigger than regular firstborn marine bits?

#

Particularly talking about the torso and legs

rain void
#

if you're talking non-primaris marinelets yea there's a pretty big disparity

#

primaris compared to custodes the sizing difference is still there but not as substantial

twilit cliff
#

Right, thanks

twilit cliff
edgy cipher
#

Custodes are still a fair bit bigger than Primaris so there is a chance it wont fit well

Flameon Miniatures is a great example of insane freehand like that.

twilit cliff
#

Or uou could find a similar transfer sticker

#

How would you guys paint power armor with no chapter colours? Like just the ceramite

sour hill
#

With no chapter colour?

twilit cliff
#

Mhm

sour hill
#

Storm Grey is the way it was described in lore.

#

Ranges from white-grey

twilit cliff
#

Im gonna try some things next chance i have

#

Trying to build a dude in power armor for a scrappy rogue traders retinue but

#

Whats holding me back is the color

#

Amongst other things

sour hill
#

They say Iron Warriors and Grey Knights technically use unpainted ceramitw.

#

So very grey/iron coloured.

#

And when polished it shines like GKs.

twilit cliff
#

Yeah apparently grey jnights is just

#

Leadbelcher plus nuln

sour hill
#

Yep!

twilit cliff
#

if i ever finish him ill post

#

IF

rose sluice
#

there's a specific grey knight paint i think

#

they blueish metal

twilit cliff
#

hmmmm

#

i wanted to use blue tints actually

#

do you know which that is? or what that paint is normally used for?

rose sluice
#

i think it's just called grey knights lol

#

i only remember cause i asked about doing a blue metal

#

and the guy recommended that paint or just a metal paint with blue contrast over it

#

grey knight steel

#

shitty gw image that has no indication on what the paint actually looks

sour hill
#

You could definitely use leadbelcher and then do a thinned contrast wash with a bright blue too. That could look incredible.

#

Like you can see them glowing with psychic energy.

twilit cliff
#

yeah no gw paints online are bad like that lul

rose sluice
#

fucking hate it

#

just take a picture of like a shield with it painted or something

sour hill
#

Talassar Blue is the DOPEST blue contrast. Its what I used for my lucky blue colours on my Orks.

twilit cliff
#

i think ill just keep it simple with lead plus agrax and just be happy with what i got

sour hill
#

Fair enough. Ain't nothing wrong with sticking with what you got.

twilit cliff
#

Sorry what did you use for the ork skin again?

#

I think i did sth similar with my gretchin

#

I stilk like to call them gobbos actually

sour hill
#

White primed, Militarum green contrast base with a layer of Warboss green.

twilit cliff
#

Sounds better than gretchin

#

One sec

sour hill
#

Kk

twilit cliff
#

Sorry phone call

#

I did a similar skintone but i cant decide whether like

#

I see a lot of vibrant green skin tones and it makes me jealous

#

For example this one i found on reddit

#

Just looks amazing to me

#

Im wondering if i could just get like a more vibrant base and just wash the recesses with a dark green wash

twilit cliff
# sour hill

I really like the work on those little boots and gauntlets btw, what clan are they?

sour hill
#

@twilit cliff Very good question. He's supposed to be a lucky banner carrier for Ghaz.

#

One day i want to have an armynof the lil feckers

#

Also hows work on ghaz progressing?

When I get to work I'll read up. About to drive in now

twilit cliff
#

Alrighty

#

Dont text about wathammer and drive pls

tight hatch
sour hill
#

@twilit cliff That lighter skin highlighting does look nice. Just depends what you're looking for.

#

I'm going for more "were in the fight" look. So bright highlights, lack of grime, etc. isn't my style.

#

I think it's impressive when they can paint so it almost looks like a comic image with everything highlighted, but it doesn't look "mid action" to me.

tight hatch
#

I bought my first ork kit coming in 4 weeks time its the new combat patrol one

sour hill
#

Helllll yeah. I'm gonna be picking it up too I think

tight hatch
#

Any tips on how to paint the skin

sour hill
#

@twilit cliff And Ghaz I only have to this standard so far.

#

He's getting there.

He looks great so far

I like how you highlighted his face really makes it pop

Under the teef?

#

I was thinking maybe the shoulder or sty, maybe thats overdone

#

good luck with that though, im not great with painting little details like that

sour hill
#

Hmmm.

#

Some areas I thought of checkerboard ING.

#

I think the big thing for freehand checkerboard is just going to be to draw the squares first.

#

And then just build very very thin layers.

#

I have a hyper detail brush so I can pull it off.

twilit cliff
#

Oh yeah thatd work

sour hill
#

I think maybe I'll checkerboard the top.

#

So that there's that nice white contrast over his head.

twilit cliff
#

Any reds anywhere?

sour hill
#

And the teef are white too.

#

Back is going to be red.

#

Theres a huge engine on his back.

twilit cliff
#

Id personally do the teef red but thats just bc i like dow1 orks

sour hill
#

Making sure to get EVERY colour the Orks believe in and capture is somewhere on him.

twilit cliff
#

Right that seems smart

sour hill
#

Since he's supposed to represent the greatest Waaaagh.

twilit cliff
#

Where blue and purple gonna be

sour hill
#

Blue is that cloth piece.

#

"Weerin me lucky shirt"

twilit cliff
#

Its be neat if you could somehow incorporate that ork alphabet

sour hill
#

And figuring out purple. I haven't decided yet.

#

Everywhere you see metal on that.

#

All the nuts/bolts are going to have rust painted on them.

#

And the claws are going to be super rusted too.

twilit cliff
#

I think the yellow gun is p brave

sour hill
#

😂

#

It'll look better once I get the metal stuff down.

#

This has base contrast layer on it now.

twilit cliff
#

Yh i saw the update

sour hill
#

So those grey parts will be metal.

#

And rusted.

twilit cliff
#

Itll look way better once the bullets are painted too

sour hill
#

100%

#

Right now they're just Aggaros Dunes.

#

But I'm gonna pick up some brass paint.

#

Shade paints and such will help a lot too.

#

Right now it's just "deep fried" as Dilly said.

#

😂

#

I'm painting the cables too. Lots of ripped up/exposed wires there.

#

So I'm going to be painting the wiring green/red/blue/purple

#

Whatever makes sense.

#

The exposed wiring, that is.

twilit cliff
#

I wish i had the patience

#

I really like building and kitbashing

#

But im a bit shy about painting

sour hill
#

I was too.

#

Like.

#

The anxiety to even start it.

#

But there's something VERY satisfying about getting through my pile of shame.

#

I don't want to have a ton of boxes in a corner forever.

twilit cliff
#

I think part of it is like

sour hill
#

I'm either building, giving it to friends or something.

twilit cliff
#

I have the problem with other things on life as well

#

If i dont know exactly how i want somethig im hesitant about it

sour hill
#

I just let the work inspire me.

twilit cliff
#

Same with painting i dont do it enoigh to know what to expect

sour hill
#

You'll never know until you start.

#

Sometimes it's fun to just start and see where it takes you.

#

Ghaz did not go the way I first thought.

#

But I really enjoy what I've done so far.

#

The lower suit resembles shadowsun's battle plate a lot

and some dumb shits are adamant the tau found an STC

#

Even though the Tau have little-nothing to do with necomunda

''HURDUR THEY HAVE SMOOHT PLATED SUITS AND SO DO THE TAU, SEE SEE?!?!?!?!''

#

I mean

that and shadowsuns suit has the digitrade legs, and so this suit does also have digitrade platforms

#

still prepare for comments like that

#

most people never stfu about the tau aesthetic and say it doesnt fit the universe

#

when thats literally the point

hoary ermine
#

i just generally stopped playing tau because of that dumb shitstick argument every time

#

even if the store owner stopped them from saying it, theyd go on about it during the match

#

''Looks a bit weird but w/e huh?''

#

''Oh you play tau, dont want the full 40k experience?''

Etcetera?

i suppose
