the colors you see in a photo are completely dependent on lighting and even just viewing angle. just look at a corner of your room. you will see 2 different colors where the walls meet even though they were obviously painted the same color.

Unusual question - let's assume I want to cast, using blue stuff or similar material, element with connection holes, something similar to this one. Normally I was told to plug the holes, especially deep ones but I would later need them and precisely at location they should be. Manually drilling them later often ends with drilling slightly off or at slightly wrong angle or causing copies to break from strain, even when drilling gradually with slowly increased size of the bit.

How to deal with that problem? At very least, how to ensure that at least some sort of guidance hole will remain?

>>97932478
is it a straigth cylindrical hole? or a ball one?

>>97932478
Plug them most of the way, but leave the top part of the hole open, maybe like 1mm, or 1/16" of the hole. That way when you cast it you will at least have some reference or registration, but you're right that you'll never get any kind of deep holes casting that way.

>>97932524
Registration for drilling them out*
I meant.

>>97932251
Good volumes, anon. I think the highlights on the sleeves would be better placed on top instead of at the end.
The face is good, but make sure you darken the upper eyelid more than the lower one. Even if you leave the lower out entirely, it'll still look fine.

>>97932524
Some sort of clay would be best for such plugging? I have to be able to clear the hole later.

>>97932490
Straight cylindrical.

>>97932287
It's mostly down to how glossy the material is. The stronger and sharper the highlights, the glossier something appears. Leather is usually fairly smooth and reflects light to a degree, while wool has a very diffuse surface that absorbs incoming light. To make these differences extra obvious, it's good to have materials next to each other, to show the contrasting differences.

>>97932530
put a tube in there, and another tube inside that one, until you have a hole of a couple milimeters, plug that then with putty and press another couple mm inside
you will have a perfectly centered pilot hole for your drill later

Still thinking about how I want to tackle this guy.
Would a purple bull with golden wings (not the arms of the wings, the middle parts would be gold) be a good fit? I was thinking if I do this I would have the rune effects glow green instead of the red here.

>>97933145
Arms of the GW traitor set (as well as old and new cadians) are compatible with all the WGA Damned sets so far (except the ogres/ogryns ofc), accessories like the backpacks and cloaks with spikes also work.
I have not experimented with the heads yet, but the oddly shaped "Blooded" necks need some cutting for sure, but also cadian balljoint necks are too big and chunky sadly.
Head-size is similar, so nothing a hobby knife can't fix.

>>97933165

My compressor arrived in the mail, looking for some airbrushing advice.
Is a cardboard box with some foam/tissue paper to catch overspray good enough or should I get myself a more proper setup with a fan and shit before I start using it? Only planning to use acrylics so no toxic enamel fumes to worry about. Pic related is where I'll be working so I can get fresh air by just opening the door to the balcony.

>>97933330
yeah its more than enough
you dont need one of the fancy ones with exhaust fans as long as youre just spraying acrylics

>>97933330
>Is a cardboard box with some foam/tissue paper to catch overspray good enough
For acrylics, yeah. If you gonna keep that window/balcony open, it'll be enough for the air quality, too. If not (or for winter time), get a respirator.
I would also recommend decanting the Citadel paints into dropper bottles, because as if these faggy pots weren't bad enough, they are pure suffering to use with airbrush.

>>97932901
They came out decent anon

I have some sort of decision block, maybe you could help. Let's assume that there is some sort of friendly competition, with no prizes, etc. I could enter and do either a) project I always wanted to do but would involve a lot of recasting parts or scratchbuilding, not guaranteeing that I could finish it in time or b) against my own tendencies, make project by kitbashing existing spare parts and instead aiming to use as little scratchbuild elements as possible (because I have a flaw of overthinking every element of my projects, stretching them over months as a result). Which one would you choose?

They said they will start to sell an army set and the vehicle indivdually as the first boxes, when everyone who backed the project received their minis.
And additionally, they recently posted its down to 100 boxes to ship (mainly canadians, and some guys whose extra sprues were not ready it seems).
So at least those two boxes should hit the stores soon-ish. Everything else will get an individual box release one set after another.

>Although I'm somewhat sad this probably means WGA and Reptilian Overlords won't do a plastic collaboration of RO's Heretics

True, but RO has neglected them for quite some years anyway. He never expanded that range properly, which is a shame.
But with the Heavy Infantry (some primed ones in this pic), you get some cool demon face facemasks, and somewhat german style helmets too.

>>97933698
It's about humidity in room you work in, you know? According to Wikipedia, my own country have over 70% as well but right in my room meter shows 36%, few days ago it dropped to 25% at some point.

>>97932311
These are some of the best looking raven guard Ive ever seen. How did you do that blue tinted black armour? Your specular highlights are excellent.

I'm thinking about getting pingpong balls and airbrushing all my paints on to them to create a sort of chart for how the colors look in real life (and on a sphere for shading might be nice).
Am I being autistic or does that sound like it might actually be a useful thing to have on hand?
I could make mount them on sticks and slot them all into a grid on the wall or something with labels.

Okay, you guys have convinced me to buy the redgrass palette so I can stop killing myself apparently with the absolutely useless AP one. Which one am I supposed to get? The V2 one? Is the membrane *actually* reusable?

Yeah, I've had it for like 2 years and I still have a couple membranes leftover from the box(I paint almost every day). It's pricey but really fucking nice, it doesn't overload your paints with water and keeps the consistency you prepare for a while. If you don't mind the stupid pricetag it's a good buy. I'm not the anon that was shitting on the AP one, btw.

>>97934023
Sure it would work, but why not just airbrush the caps of the paint pots? Plastic spoons are also very common for this, and they can be had for a lot cheaper than pingpong balls.

>mount them on sticks
As a kid with a pingpong table growing up, piercing the pingpong ball would ruin them. But you could make a nice wrack just but drilling out 1" diamter holes for them to rest in.

Butt plug or vape? I cant tell whats going on here.

>>97934058

>>97934068
Yeah, the plan (in theory) would be to mount them on sticks by 3d printing some kind of cone shaped bits, mounting them to the end of sticks (skewers or brass rod), and then just hot glued to the pingpong balls. Then have a board with all the holes drilled at a 45 degree angle with labels to keep them on the wall.
I do have spoons though so maybe that would be better and more convenient

Living with your parents is unequal to justifying yourself to them for your hobby tools (or sex toys).

Airbrushing is cheaper than cans in the long run. Not to mention it's a lot faster and easier and unlocks a lot of techniques. I'd paint a handful of minis then just go ahead and get the air brush.

>>97934991
General advice is to buy something middle ground that have lots of cheap spare parts available because, as with normal brushes, starting out people have higher chance at accidentally damaging their tools. If it's a solid model, it could later serve as backup/priming/cleaning (because it's essentially airgun) airbrush, if you decide that you need more precision. Not some extra cheap model that would spend more time turned inside out for cleaning while you ponder why it refuse to work properly but some actually good stuff doing 0.5mm duty while your primary tool is busy with 0.2-0.3mm for details. Similar to how you buy "crop" camera at first (because it's cheaper than full frame and dedicated lenses are also easier to manufacture and thus cheaper as well) and then, after you learn enough and can decide if you really need full frame, can carry that telephoto lens while your FF is on UWA duty.

>>97934991
Assuming you don't have serious doubts to whether or not you'll keep using an airbrush I'd say just get something decent straight away. The nozzle on the noname chinesium I started with was so fragile, and the floating nozzle on the H&S Evolution Silverline that then replaced it so much less fragile, that most of the learning happened on the latter anyway.

>>97934991
Don't get chinkshit. HS Evolution or Iwata Eclipse are both great, proven airbrushes that won't really break the bank and will serve you for ages.

Of all the GW games I've played, Battlefleet Gothic has one of the best rulesets. If you can get your hands on some of the supplemental books and magazines that GW released after the game had been out for a while, the small tweaks make it even better. Right away, I'd recommend limiting the number of fighters/bombers/assault boats in play to the number of launch bays on all ships combined.

It takes a while to get the hang of, so you'll likely be running back to the rulebooks a lot during play, but it's pretty satisfying - especially in Imperial vs. Chaos fleet engagements where the fleets' strengths and weaknesses are fairly balanced and there's no weird stuff in play.

it never makes sense to buy shit tools unless it's something you will intentionally be destroying when you use it. it makes even less sense with an airbrush where a top of the line one only costs like $250 and you can frequently get a good one for only $100.

I'm not blaming you for this, I know you probably didn't have much choice, but god damn, did GW just forget how to have multiple poses? Not only are they all basically the same, they're the same as virtually every single new individual space marine model as well.

I want to paint something different from the usual GW stuff. Is there a range of models of similar quality? Scale doesn't have to be the same. I want to paint something beautiful instead of grimy. KD miniatures are a bit too coomer for me.

>Is there a range of models of similar quality
Most of the middle range and above scale models are better quality than GW. If you really want to splurge (=pay slightly less or roughly the same as for Citadel stuff) and get a peak model, then pretty much anything modern by Meng or Takom, really.
>something beautiful
You could check some top tier 3D sculptors who also sell STLs or finished prints, like Archvillain Games. They have ridiculously large range of scifi/fantasy models, and they are all incredible. And you can get them printed in case you don't have you own printer.

The compressor you will buy is exactly the same compressor every body gets, at most with a different label. Every small airbrush compressor (with a tank) is the exact same product. There is literally only a single option.

speaking of compressors I got a timbertech off amazon and for the first time the moisture trap actually has water in it but depressing the valve isn't releasing it is that a problem

I use this one. It's meant for tools like nail guns and drills but you can bush it down to 1/8th airbrush fittings and adjust the pressure way down. Only thing it needs is an in-line moisture trap. It gets up to pressure quickly, has a far bigger tank than hobbyist compressors and is fairly quiet.

Damn. That looks bloody stellar. How do you get the metallics so nice besides the usual applications of wash?

Well painted but the vibe is : World of Modern Goycraft

>>97932901
Gorgeous.
>>97936464
The fact that you needed to specify "modern" means you like the Warcraft aesthetic in general, which explains why you hate cool shit.

Picrel, but I haven't done the oils yet, waiting to be done with the acrylics on all the trim first.

>>97932901
I personally would have painted the inner working of the gun something aside from green, but it looks p nice otherwise.

>>97933476
I think horizontal overlapping bands would look decent, think sort of like the letter C on it's side right around the sides of his hips and down the thighs

>>97935683
That'd be really small wire, I'd guess at maybe they were shaped by plier guitar strings about 8-10 gauge or taken from wound stranded electrical wire

Matte, satin, or gloss clear coat?

>>97936566
Gloss for metals, matt for everything else, satin for pinlining if you're doing machines or mechs/tanks

Man, even with Vallejo thinner, retarder, and flow improver, airbrushing with craft paint still sucks so much, the worst shit i've ever spray

>>97936468
Let me be more clear: They are painted well but they look like assets from a shitty video game like (any year) WoW (which I don't like) or clash of clans or some similarly cartoonish, overly blocky and simple, colourful, childish, style. It doesn't match my preferred style and I believe it looks like shit in a Warhammer setting. Nevertheless very well painted.

I'm not a hater, for example this looks good to me and belongs in Warhammer:
>>97932708

I just don't like those chorfs, or any of those gay AoS balloon dwarfs or any shitty digital AoS art. And if you do, you are homosexual(bad) and factually incorrect.

you're actually a retard

>>97936659
You appear to be confused. Please refer to my conclusion:
>I just don't like those chorfs, or any of those gay AoS balloon dwarfs or any shitty digital AoS art. And if you do, you are homosexual(bad) and factually incorrect.
You will see it logically follows that you are actually the one who is retarded (and gay).

I am in fact that autistic, and you are still gay, bad and wrong. Hope this helps.

I’ll never understand how people can be this autistic over toys. I thought these people would stay in the 40k general.

>>97936682
There is no need to be upset. You're simply on the wrong side of history.

>>97936682
it's not a 40kfag it's a whfbfag (even worse, their general exists only to whine about 40k and aos)

>>97936682
They're not toys. They're models.

>>97936686
Get your meds dude, I don’t want to end up seeing you on the news.

>>97936694
I do not identify as any of those things. Because I'm not gay and can enjoy any number of traditional games. However AoS is and always will be gay.
>>97936698
You do you, lil bruh.

I sure do love miniature painting and miniature painting works in progress. Finally got what I need to finish my kommandos, so I think I'll start back on that tomorrow if I'm up to it.

I 100% agree with this anon and honestly im quite unsure why do you retards pretend hes spouting autistic nonsense.

>>97936815
lmao now who's schizo? Utterly mindbroken by being called out for liking models that don't look good.

>it's not me I'm just here to instantly deflect and project
Nobody called you a schizo btw, that's a self-report

Current working on some guard shock troopers and it's killing me. If I rush them I'm disappointed in my results; if I take my time I'm demoralised by the horde yet to go. Can't wait to pick up some vehicles so I can take my time and still feel that sense of progress
Anyone else get similar when dealing with hordes?

No. Slow but steady is the way. Do 2 dudes at a time and 4 dudes a week

>>97932708
Excellent, as always anon.
Do you do volumetric highlights or is it just that the black is satin and then the metallic edge highlights?

>>97936847
why do you paint?
is it to field an amry for a game 'tomorrow'? is it because you like painting? can you go to that game with unpainted models? have you considered you can paint them like shit today, and strip them later in smaller batches to paint them to a better standard?

>>97934809
Is that a laser sight power fist?

>>97936847
I painted my first Necromunda gang over Easter and felt kinda similar. Either doing 16 guys at a time was a bad idea or I'm too used to doing way less colors.

>>97936210
This is a stupid post.

>>97937288
but most likely true not that it matters to me personally
stuff from same production line gets branded in all sorts of silly expensive and cheap ways

>>97937324
No, it is not. Chinks do rebrand fuckload of compressors, yes, but that mostly applies if you are buying the cheapest dogshit available. This is the usual "everything is made by chinese / why my X is not working properly" nonsense pipeline.

>>97932527
This is good advice, thanks. I never noticed the sleeve highlights being misplaced while painting, but now I can't unsee it. I should really start planning for stuff like that

Please does anyone have the pic of Pepe huffing glue while building a model they can share with me?

>>97937168
Thanks man
I actually do volumetrics, but they get lost a bit under the black wash which gives the satin finish
The final highlights are mostly metallic but I mix greys in there too very often

That mini's base coat was really messed up from repeated gluing back together and pinning, I really would strip it but I think it'll still turn out okay? Kinda sucks because I'm planning on spending 80~ hours on it

I'm pretty happy with a lot of random tiny spots on this mini. I think it's pretty interesting from a lot of different angles

Still a lot to do. The big one in the middle here is what I'm most concerned about for the cockpit colour, and I'd like the rest to match it. Not sure how I'll do a convincing glowy eyeball in that lil slit. Bleh

>need some space marines to sit
>start cutting away and re-sculpting
>the entire mini falls apart because the design is just retarded
Space Marines are seemingly only able to stand heroically (with legs wide apart), run threateningly, or shoot (from the hip) to not to look like shit.

>>97938290
what where you trying to do?
what gw does for some poses is just cheat and clip shoulderpads inside the back and stuff like that, like a videogame

>>97938304
Yeah, torso/arms are not an issue; it's the legs. (Primaris) Space Marines seem not to possess much in the hips and gluteal muscles. I could work around that. But the main problem is that the greaves are just SILLY thick and wide (nearly exactly as wide as the torso without the powerpack lmao) when sitting, which results in a really bad, cartoonish look.
I really did not want to sculpt and print this.

>>97938344
>primaris
>silly
no shit

maybe take a look at the quad driver to see how they solved sitting

>>97938022
Nah I wouldn't do one of my little beelzebros like that. I'd just dropped some panel liner into the muscle striations on the mini a d I think maybe he landed and got stoned off the enamel fumes for a few minutes. I was actually stroking his wings and he was just chilling, waving his front legs around

>>97938386
>quad driver
They always make sure the greaves/boots are not visible. Not to mention that they actually poured the legs as a part of the vehicle, the usual faggotry.

>>97938344
>(Primaris) Space Marines seem not to possess much in the hips and gluteal muscles.
Didn't the older ones have even more extreme tiny asses?

This is what 32 awg wire looks like, the finest I have. You will need something even finer maybe 34 or even 36 or more. It might even be the braided hairlike wire used in shielding jackets, like those in every usb cable. If you've got an old obsolete charging cable you might find what you need in that.

>>97935683
>>97939121
Might be the thinnest floral wire that you can get, but it would be flimsy as fuck and would probably snap if you thought about it too hard.

>>97939121
Hang on. I've got the wire you guys are looking for.

I don't have a plasma gun but this should be a similar size.
0.1mm enamel coated copper wire for windings/magnets/cores and that kinda thing.

>>97935683
strip and old motor or transformer (like the ones for old routers), you will have a couple wire thicknesses in there that will help
some wires may have a suitable thickness too like some ethernet cable or those wires that come with electronic kits for breadboards
also an old heating element may have nicrom wire as low as .2mm, from a small hairdryer or a toaster
the core of some guitar strings too, they come in several sizes and are a lot more stiff than copper, would be better for this application
scavenging wire is always a good thing in this hobby

>>97939121
wire shielding mesh like this anon suggests is most likely too thin and way too soft

>>97939204
that looks kinda shit overall (or it's tiny) but not gonna lie, i have scraped bare metal on metal models before and it does look great done with care and maybe with a light wash

nice stripes on the sword

>>97939275
i mean, the paint is too thick, there's obvious brush marks and poor coverage, but that might be a 10mm model and a very zoomed photo idk

>>97939236
FWI 32 awg is 0.202mm in diameter. Imo from my photo and the reference you need something smaller. 38awg is 0.101, like in this photo >>97939226.
Having used some of this magnet wire not too long ago, its stiffness can be irritating.
>34 awg is 0.160mm
>36 awg is 0.127mm
But it would also be hella over kill to buy a huge ass roll of this for just one mini. You could probably get the same effect by dragging a hair through super glue. Or perhaps you could get a thin slice of store ribbon, that stuff is flexible and strong (the kind you curl with scissors for wrapping presents).
