Tabletop Warhammer?

First test model for my skitari is pretty much done.

And my first Knight Paladin Of House Raven is pretty much done!

They look fantastic!

I like everything apart from the OSL, it looks very airbrushed and unnatural

Weathering is nice though.

Parmesan · 26 Jun 2015 at 19:16

Most of the head will be getting painted over soon, only a small amount of the blue osl will still be visible at the end just enough to give the eyes a little life.

Will also possibly tone down the blue glow on the weapons on the skitarii, although I quite like it

not 100% sure on the axe though, any thoughts on a better way to do the blade?

i just picked up space hulk last week as a new found addiction to board games and ive only got the models primed so far but i cant imagine getting anything like that as an end result, that very impressive.

i think ill focus on one model at a time and see how they improve as i go along.

Just took delivery of my first models last week so going to find some time soon hopefully and make a start. Mate of mine is going to help me after his hols and give me some tips as he's being doing it for 10+ years or so.

I've dabbled before, but never had space for a proper setup. Figured now I have any amount of spare room in my house I should set up a nice station in a location with great natural light. This should help me get into it more.

I went for Tyranids to start with. Hopefully they are one of the easier ones to start on - they don't look too bad. Primary colour will be a dark blue, with bone and purple as the other 2 main colours. I didn't like them with bone as the main colour so wanted to do something I preferred and think will look cooler (when I'm good enough...)

Just have to remember not to get put off when my first attempts suck

First of all, it looks awesome.

Agree with others though, left side better with the brighter 'lighting' on the blade. I'd try play on that, more brilliant white, throw some purple in there with the blue to bring it out and maybe use a gloss varnish on the blade and matte over the rest?

Long time since i did any of this though!

Whatever happened to Necromunda?! I used to love playing that, could really add character to your gang and the games tended to be comparatively quick.

I've been slacking on the painting front this week...but this evening I've managed to make some Dante progress

Only the Jump pack to do now.

Brabbinho · 2 Jul 2015 at 18:02

Looking good

gradyhawks · 3 Jul 2015 at 11:49

That looks bloody incredible Jonesiani!

Jonesiani · 3 Jul 2015 at 21:05

Thank you

it's taken many hours! Hopefully I'll start the jump pack tomorrow.

£17 for the new GW spray paint lol.

3.50 for new paints as well. Any justifiable reason for the price? Or just a cash grab

I'm not Games Workshops biggest fan by a long shot (other than lord of the rings it's been a few years since I bought anything at all from them) and the prices for the gold(tm) spray and gold (tm) paints is ridiculous, especially when the flesh paint is normal price but I'm actually quite interested in Warhammer: Second Coming:

Had it been a tenner was going to pick up the spray for my minotaurs

Games Workshop Boss 1: Guys Warhammer sales are down, what can we do to improve them?

Games Workshop Boss 2: Well Space Marines are popular, why don't we just stick them in Warhammer too!

Boss 1: Great Idea! This is why we are the market leader!

Boss 2: Let's knock off early for lunch and then maybe when we get back we can find some more ways to screw over our customers!.

Cash grab, at least for the spray cans. I'm getting the paints of online stores now days, so can get them for around £2 each, which isn't to bad I think.

Spray cans, just get anything from amazon! I'm using some £3 cans for my white, black and grey undercoats.

It's pretty much the way things work there I am sure. For example, take the new codex releases. They buff to hell whatever wasn't selling so well.

So ... Age of Sigmar! Now I know this seems to be more of a painting thread (heck, I don't play, only paint anyway) but the new rules for fantasy seem ... awful.

The models however, look incredible and will probs be getting the starter set just for the models.

aceytrixx · 6 Jul 2015 at 11:08

Yeah age of sigmar has killed off all my GW interest now. 40k was already pretty horrible to play and 8th edition fantasy sorted that for me. Now they have gutted it so I'll stick my Ogres up for sale tonight and that'll be me moved on totally. Only having a GW local means I don't have the option to play any other miniatures game. It's a shame but on the plus side it's gonna save me plenty money!
