Honestly I probably won't, though it's good advice. Every time I try that on my green flames they always seems to lose their luster to me. It's completely a personal preference to just keep the brightest spots yellow.

Finished kitbashing one of two War Rigs for Gaslands.
This one is for the two red cars, so cleaner with tech gadgets, the next will be rusty and properly mad max with the greebles.

You should totally paint this like G1 Ultra Magnus

>>97898163
Very nice. A couple of minor thoughts:
1. The flames look good, going forward I would start with a brighter color at the bottom and a darker color at the top. Flames are not easy, I think I only got the hang of them recently.
2. Most of the paint job looks fantastic, but I would try to thin down your paints for flames in future models.
3. Base is awesome. Love it. Same with the flame lighting effects on the rest of the model. Looks really nice.

These are really minor details, which I think is what you're looking for.

>>97898149
Looking good so far, I'd say different highlight or shadow colors on the whip and handle to differentiate them as different materials.

Reposting from the last thread, got distracted and started painting Huron’s goon squad instead of the chaplain. Really liking the direction I’m going with for the unit and use of a limited colour palette keeping.
Averland yellow, evil sunz red, Corvus black, 50:50 khorne red/rhinox brown, gauss blaster green and corax white for anyone interested

Beautiful work on the gem, was tempted by chorfs as a project last year but decided to stick to 40K till my backlog is significantly reduced.

For Vallejo skin wash, do I paint the figure skintone and apply the wash? It looks like its make the whole thing a lot redder. What wash is good for adding shades to skin colors?

>>97898379
I still have to do washes, but do you think flesh wash or sepia for the rat tail whip?

>>97898315

But that wouldn't match the team.

Thanks for the feedback guys! I'll take it to heart and hopefully improve on my next ventures. I still think flames are where I could improve most, and I'll definitely thin my paints next time (I quite literally didn't thin them on that guy lmao).
I will say that those flames specifically were a bit tough to paint, as they're a bit more chaotic than some other flames, so trying to get a good spread from yellow to green to black was tough since they were very "flickery"(?). Picrel is some other flames I've done which I think were better, but I didn't have the correct airbrush to attempt OSL on at the time.

If it's like Citadel's flash-toned washes and contrast paints, I suspect you are supposed to do it over a white undercoat. This is Guilliman Flesh Contrast paint over white.

>>97898477
If you have a pinkish base skintone then use a richer orange brown wash after highlighting with a neutral (or even light green) mixed in for nose/cheekbones/chin/upper lip. If the wash is reddish then you probably need to apply if before highlighting, with a browner base tone.

>>97898509
Sepia for the handle since it already has some wood texture you can capitalize on, then the flesh wash or even a dark purple for the rat tail whip. From there you can highlight with flesh tones, a subtle pale pink, or a light magenta. The purple/flesh would contrast nicely with the green armor you've got going on so I think you're heading in a great direction.

>>97898163
Great osl

>>97898650
The dark purple is a good idea, thanks!

What you think, good for alpha legion?
Looks a bit goofier than I had imagined...

>>97899070
It looks goofy, but not that bad.
I'm not a fan of Knights or Hounds becoming "members" of (C)SM legions.

>>97898477
Flesh wash is great.. just try it on a spare head if you have doubts.

>>97899078
For fluff reasons or how come? I just love the dogs, been wanting some since they came out and saw someone selling a bunch on sprue. Got 3 for ~90€

Is there any mold or home appliance that one could use to make a lamprey-esque mouth from green stuff for a 28mm model? It's a wonderfully disgusting thing.

>>97899340
Thanks :)
>>97899552
Yeah it does clash quite a bit with the rest of the model, I'll try see if I can find some bits. Also plan to make the scales the same silver as the metals on the body so that should help too hopefully.

>>97899927
Stop drybrushing everything.
Thin your paints.
Clean up the mould lines.

Actually learn how to paint models, anon. The GW workflow of "basecoat > wash > highlight" is not a bad place to start, but don't take it as gospel, especially once you inevitably start getting better.

Another angle.

>>97900111
not sure what she doing or what she's holding in her left arm but her right arms seems at rest so the whip should be flacid, or at least going down

What's the best way to mock up a color scheme without actually painting a mini? I've just been coloring images in paint to see what I like, but there has to be a better way.

I based it off the career art. It's supposed to be an alms cup out of a skull. I'll make it a little clearer with the plasticard plank, but I could do with some coins to make it clearer. I like the whip swing, gives the pose some aggro while still not being an action pose.

>>97899927
you need to spend more time in the planning stage before you start slopping paint on. look at each part of the model and ask yourself "what is this supposed to represent?" figure out what is a gun, what is armor, what is a grenade, etc. then ask yourself "what is this supposed to look like?" what do you imagine each thing is made out of? is it metal, is it plastic, is it some sci fi material? when you have figured all of this out then you can start putting paint down to match the conceptualized image you have created. when I look at your work all I see is a mess, because you jumped right to putting color down without considering what you were trying to depict.

Been blocking out colours on this guy, I think I need to desaturate the red and there's definitely cleanup to do, but otherwise I'm pretty happy so far

>>97900150
i see, in that case i'd angle the whip the oposite side, as if she was striking outwards, as it is it looks weird, like she's gonna whip her leg

Got a bit farther on my first Ulfenwatch. Honestly he's not really speaking to me, I'm not satisfied with how he's coming along. I tried following Vince's verdigris tutorial for the bronze but I'm not super happy with how it came out. There's still way too much shine for the look I'm going for. Does it at least look alright as it is now?
Any suggestions for the shield? I through some brown on just because I had it on the palette but it doesn't do it for me.
