/tg/ — WIP - Work In Progress General

File: jakhals1.jpg (742 KB, 1340x938)

Finished my jakhals, will surely need some tiny fixes here and there when I look over them closely later. And with that the combat patrol is painted and I guess combat patrol rules are pointless and outdated now so I'll have to figure out what me and m8 are gonna play..

Pics may be kind of funny colour-wise, don't have access to a good monitor (at work)

>>98203505
I mean it's not my normal monitor . Dammit I wish all monitors and panels were made to the same exact standard..

thunderhawk is primed, was very fun to build despite the setbacks and typical large resin model issues.

if selling a $3 plastic cup for $14 is evil what do you call this?

>>98203020
paint the lighter color first and then streak the grain color using oil paints

>>98203488
thank you they are black legion with sons of horus shoulderpads to give them some color and red for that silly retro look

>>98203711
You mean that KINGly retro look :)

Finished a third mini today and also got my wash and varnish in the mail, but I got too excited with the varnish and messed it up so the minis look dusty now. At least now I know for the rest.

>>98203751
Im gonna kill myself

>>98203754
Why are you varnishing unfinished minis? I mean the base bro...

>>98203754
How does one even achieve such a finish?

>>98203764
Very uncarefully. Also he was probably spraying from too far away or using too many coats too quickly.

>>98203754
what dark urging brings people to use an unknown product on their miniatures without testing it on something else first to see how it sprays?

>>98203751
Anon, quickly, get a heat gun or a hairdryer and use it on the lowest setting possible to slightly warm up the varnish, if its not too bad it should settle the spotty portions. Also detail the bases of your fucking minis you troglodyte.

QUESTION;
Does anyone know of a Space Marine head that looks like the angry Blood Raven from dawn of war?
I am looking specifically for the kind of haircut and then, scar, studs.
Please let me know from which kit so that I can dig it. thank you.

>>98203754
It looks like you primed other miniatures while these guys watched. Wtf did you even do?

>>98203754
relax marine, worst case scenario just strip them and paint them again, they are not for golden daemon nor do they look like box art. You will be fine.

>>98203758
you don't have to varnish painted texture paste, retard-kun

>>98203782
That actually worked really well, thank you. I'm going to check on them again in the morning and also put my varnish on the other side of the house till I get some other scrap bits to try it on first. Second. I'm a fool.

>>98203815
And what did we learn anon

Worked on this guy’s cloak tonight

>>98203822
Or I guess robes, whatever they’re called

>>98203822
Love the colors. looking really good. Can't wait until you touch it up and finish it. Keep us updated

>>98203821
Don't do stuff to my minis without testing it first.

>>98203815
Maybe get some gloss varnish just in case. You can use that and then reapply another matte coat over it. Just dont go crazy with it like you did. Also maybe get some of the dedicated mini paint strippers.

>>98203602
free-market capitalism

does anyone know a good cheap source for daemon weapons? source does not need to be GW. the khorne bloodletter swords look like good candidates but i'm interested in a variety or weapon types not just swords and i do not want to pay through the nose for a specific bit from a character kit on ebay

>>98203898
Printing?
If that is not an option, maybe check the mantic demon range?

>>98203754
Not tested myself, but it says online you can fix it using a gloss varnish.

>>98203898
Etsy.
I found a knight with fat tits.
The site has almost everything.

>>98203504
Not bad at all

>>98203790
Your just going to have to look at sprues on the GW site, and pray they are face up

Anyone has tried the Ionic paints? (I think the Atom ones are pretty much the same just with slight hue differences but essentially the same paint)

File: IMG_20260614_120732~2.jpg (1.33 MB, 1876x3011)

About yesterday and scale models festival - came up today to pick my models up and one actually got a distinction! Since I consulted her painting with you guys, I just wanted to share.

I'm sorry for depreciating myself. Didn't expect that at all.

>>98204247
Congrats anon!

File: orlock gang.png (756 KB, 891x920)

>>98203790
One of the Orlock heads has a similar expression but he has goggles and funny hair you could try converting, it's on the guy at the front, with the servo-arm. There are 2x10 heads, don't worry if you fuck up one.

File: center left.jpg (748 KB, 4000x3000)

>>98204271
As for my own painted example, I don't really like doing faces but here's how it'll look with a wash filling out the recesses on the head. Also note the head connection is a bit different to marines, but wouldn't be tough to convert maybe.

Maybe there's an STL out there with what exactly it is you're looking for, though.

My fallen guys. I'm finally playing at the FLGS now, so I'm not letting myself show up without a bit more progress than last time.

>>98203754
Don't worry, /k/ommando, you're forgiven.

>>98204019
I'll look into this some more, found some good options.

Goblinas, anyone?
with the hair I was thinking of just using some black wash, while the pants I'm not sure how to paint some shadows in the creases without ruining the off white tone

>>98204412
From thumbnail I thought it's Piccolo.

>>98204423
too bad she doesn't have a weighted mantle then

File: guisarmiers 4.jpg (402 KB, 2544x1000)

I'm pretty happy with how they look now, which means it's time to work on their bases. I'm going for a muddy battlefield.
I tried an experiment with purple glazes to do some moody shadows but it looked like I dunked them in yogurt or something so I repainted most of it.

>>98204029

>>98204247
Congrats man. Haven't been in a few threads so Im glad I got to see how it turned out. Looks good man, well done

>>98204029

>>98204247
Gz man

>>98203829
Thanks anon. Might do some nmm on another model as practice and come back to this in a few days.

File: IMG_20260614_082711.jpg (268 KB, 643x986)

Got a new cutting mat, decided to put a sticker on it then I figured it wouldn't last long so I carefull trimmed the white border off then gave it alternating coats of gloss and matte clearcoat to keep it from peeling.

Do people actually use 000 brushes? I feel like anything beyond a 00 is useless. The brush is too small, the paint on it is non-existent or just dries up immediately before you hit the model, the point doesn't hold at all because it folds under any sort of pressure.

>>98204943
I have a few but I rarely use them, I find I am grabbing a brand new taklon size 1 instead and using that until the tip curls, then grabbing a fresh one.

>>98203681
My phone kind of sucks, here's one under the lamp
Asking again, any tips for nmm on gun bodies and random metal bits?

>>98204920
