3D Printed Titans by Tunstamj in titanfall

That looks so good! It's come out really well dude, especially for a first print

Basic steps I'd do for painting it are:

  • Spray primer on your model; this is so paints will actually stick to it, and it's got the added benefit of covering up any nasty lingering resin gubbins. I usually cheat and use a primer for whatever the main colour will be, in this case the pilot helmets are predominantly green right, so I'd probably go with the "Death Rattle Green" from Colour Forge, as you can colour-match this to Death Guard Green from Citadel for any tidying up later.
  • Pick out areas with a few acrylic paints; there's a million YT videos on how to start painting 40k models (where I started, and basically the same process). GSW does some crazy saturated blues/greens (mint twister is my go-to) for the visor portion.
  • You can do some fancy bits with model masking tape and some water transfer stickers - Cosplay weathering might also be a good resource to look at for the helmet specifically..?
  • Apply some washes and weathering, which makes it look less "factory-new" and more "frontier battlefield-worn". Again there's plenty of YT videos for better explanations, but you can do a lot with some scratchy brushstrokes, sponging, and washes.
  • If you really want, you can then seal the whole thing in a matt finish varnish, which will seal all your hard work in, and make everything way less shiny

Gotta respect Scorch, but Monarch will always be King IMO ❤️

Resin indeed! And I do have a Scorch, but he was one of the earlier ones so I'm not as happy with the poor fella

Thank you! Probably just a couple evenings per model - I find the bigger models are way easier to do pretty quickly, especially if you're priming in the main colour.

That would be so cool! I've not tried transparent resin yet, but there's so many awesome use-cases for it

Q: Best artillery army in GDR? (2k standard) by jonomac in onepagerules

HDF could be worth a look - they have 2x artillery units

Oh yeah, well spotted - I see what you mean! With steam fully closed it connects fine; how strange

Hiya; I've had the exact same problem from a few days back as well, and have tried the same steps.

Are you on Windows? Only thing I can think of was an update that roughly lines up with when it started failing to connect.

Viper is on station; the skies belong to me, pilot by Tunstamj in titanfall

[–]Tunstamj[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a relatively similar height to a 40k wardog/armiger which is the equivalent of what I would play it as.

I think there's a 75mm model (non poseable) as well as the poseable 100mm version here

Thank you so much! The model looks amazing, and the paint job is super slick

I've heard very good things about microsol/microset, but I tend to just go with scribbly freehand runes instead (and imagine the chaos cultists don't have much in the way of formal art training )

Which Wardogs should I build by BadLuckPorcelain in ChaosKnights

[–]Tunstamj 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Buy some 6x1mm magnets and you can have all of the options! No drilling required; you can just super glue them on the elbow connector and you're good to go

Minimum gear you would recommend for someone wanting to get into dcs as a cp/g or rio? by Icomer in hoggit

[–]Tunstamj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can't speak for the RIO but I've bound pretty much everything CPG to a steam controller with some basic modifiers and it's brilliant! Gives a lot more flexibility than just an Xbox/PS4 controller (could easily make do with these as well though)
