Yes we all the pull to paint minis and models at times but such is the age we live with when you can look up and see how others painted the same item or how they give you hints
You can paint minis for games you don't even play as you might like the look of them
TBD
The Horror of youtube helping you with how to paint things or to get certain looks!
Sometimes it's not even in a language you speak!
So once again don't be afraid to ask what people think everyone learns differently and sometimes they need help to

The steel rubber sheets from green stuff world work so much better than magnetic rubber sheets. I got the bottom of the six containers covered. On fit all the minis from cursed city. Filling another with necron warriors, fits 60 in it and I have 140 and 60 immortals. I also have a fuck ton of space wolves so I'm gonna need a lot of this stuff.

I never fear death or dyin', I only fear never trying.
Started with just the box art, got half way through and was immediately tired of edge highlighting.
I'm think I'm pretty good at the whole grimdark, muted paint scheme thing, so maybe try and step outside my comfort zone and go for something super colorful.
Halfway done and I hate it....

There is NOT a lot of good drukhari art out there.

I will ALWAYS highly recommend Vallejo model color metallics. They look so damn good.
I also really like the scale 75 metal paints.

I know, I have the Raiders of Commorragh painting guide and where it does fill in a lot of the gaps in painting guides I have found [or people fawning over doing their own trueborn in said guides}
But on the flip side you can find really neat kitbashes or custom figures like the ever so often Archon
Or a beastmaster
@Khraul, I actually really like that pink/purple raider
So cool.
I'm gonna try to do some marathon painting tomorrow and finish up more cursed city. I'm feeling a little hesitant with the humanoid models. Not really confident are where to start on the minis.

For me, I'm going to set their skin tones first and go from there. I'm intending to make the heroes a brighter color pallet than the undead and other models.
When I try I always and up with something that might look okay for red leather, way too muted/desaturated/whatever.
Blegh, one of those days. Ruined a perfectly fine lineelf with some I'll thought out detailing.
Glazes. Always glazes.

When you say that, my eyes always start to glaze over.
Does beast come with that head and arm or are they sculpted on?
Also finished up a warband.
I try. Maybe my reds are shit and I need a more saturated one.
Beast comes with a few options, including those.
I set the raider aside and started fresh on something else last night. Might still touch it up a bit but it feels like a better start.

Do you have a photo? It's hard to determine how to fix a problem you can't see.

Loved painting this model. It should be noted it's largely contrast as well, with drybrushing and highlighting work. The metallic blue for the armour was accomplished by basing those parts with leadbelcher and then applying leviadon blue on top. It naturally ends up looking metallic, which is a really easy way of painting metals a non-grey color.
Yeah he has 2 head options, one with glasses and one with out and 2 hand options, one waving a fist, the other holding a book.
Yeah reds can be tricky, pic would help us diagnose. I've basically been using a trio of paints that Giraldez used for his Blood Angels tutorial as my go to Red Recipe these days. Vallejo Game Colour Scarlet Red -> Vallejo Pure Red Surface Primer -> Vallejo Model Colour Dark Vermillion (Yes I know it sounds dumb), then mix Ice Yellow into the vermillion for highlights and a dark purple into the scarlet red for extreme shading. Usually have to go over and glaze it a bit more to make it really red.
Doughnut make any more glaze puns in this thread, please.
Australia in a tropical region where I was before was terrible for this. If it wasn't wind it was an even worse killer: Humidity.
This is why I got an airbrush, because I kept missing the 3 days a year when the temp and humidity aligned to allow me to prime using rattle cans in Queensland.

On the other hand I'm fine if you continue to sprinkle a few in.

Should see if you can get some sort of large appliance box to do rattlecan priming in outside but nestled up between the house and fence or something.

I was doing it along the house but how my neighbor put up his fence 2 years ago it's starting to fall in and the fence in my yard that seperated the back yard from the front fell over in the wind and I cannot replace it because of what is happening to his fence
I am going to go prime some stuff now it was a lot better earlier but sadly my other problem work is what prevents me
After I made the above post I thought F it I am priming. I had two sticks or whatever set up to prime so grabbed them and I wanted to try a trick to prime jetbikes and such
I had been wracking my brain how to prime/paint a jetbike without using the plastic stand [when I did my eldar jetbikes long ago I messed up and snapped a few stands}
So I noticed by accident when I did my razorwing in the fall that a stick that blew in the yard fit in the engine. So I thought this would work for jetbikes and noticed most of the openings were the same size [7mm}
A lollipop stick or coffee straw works!
I am going to cut the stick down and build something when I do my gargoyles
The ugly part was Lelith when I put the priming stick down a breeze tore her off the tape onto the ground snapping her hair off so in the morning I have to scour the 1M square of the yard looking for a tiny piece :bigfrown:
Anyway, this would have been a lot easier if I had built them but left the armor panels off and painted them immediately instead of gluing on the armor panels and not painting them for like a year like a complete doofus. If any of you guys are planning on painting AT models in the future, don't make the same mistake I did.
Hmmmm, hard to photograph. The orange looks a bit more yellow in reality. It's mostly the red on the tabbard.

First of my Deathwatch Bladeguard. Since this one is from the Indomitus box it doesn't have special shoulders. I do have 3 from the bladeguard box as well that do have proper shoulders.
Finished the last half of my terminators this morning
Group shot of all of them
Particularly happy with the fire on my 2nd flail
That puts me at 71/123 models painted since Feb. next up is 20 more poxwalkers, which I’m hoping to knock out in a week.
Thanks. Then I'll blame my colour deficiency. Might have been not the best idea to go for a orange-red colourscheme...
It’s possible the slight gloss is making you see leather instead of fabric.
