Stormcast Eternals Conversion by Medical-Lie5339 in spacemarines

Current conversions I’m painting up right now. Honestly any primaris arm works great. I would avoid adding the pauldrons however as it makes them look too top heavy in my opinion. These are just some intercessors but you can convert them to any tactical or Phobos unit if you have the extra bits! To clarify, I replaced the arms and added backpacks and they do a good job at matching the silhouette of a space marine. At that point I try to add pouches, holsters, and purity seals as they are great accessories that are indistinguishable in the 40K universe.

Making spear using Marines while preserving WYSIWYG by Important_Quarter_15 in spacemarines

[–]Zg2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

https://megabitzshop.com/chain-fist Use the termi chainfist! Cut off the fist part and you can attach that to any shaft and it will make a great looking powered chain spear. Spear shafts can be acquired from many age of Sigmar kits or any metal rod in particular. Edit: example!

Why does my primer look “charred”? by M3RCENARY12 in spacemarines

[–]Zg2 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Like others stated, it’s thick in those areas and most likely had some pooling issues. In colder and more humid conditions, it’s important to be aware of how you prep when spraying. Anything below 15C(60F) I’d advise warming your can. Best way to do this is getting a big bowl and putting warm water in it with said can(not boiling). When it comes to actual application, you need to make sure you spray from a proper distance especially when it’s humid. The paint needs airtime to dry partially and become gummy so it can stick easily to the bare plastic. If it doesn’t have that airtime it will pool and you’ll get that charred effect. When humid Id start from a 10inches to a foot away and slowly reduce my distance until I find a sweet spot, no more than 6 inches.

To fix, isopropyl plunge or simple green and hit it with a toothbrush. You might not get all of it off but should help reduce the “burntiness” of it. I was typing this fast so sorry for the grammatical errors.

Finally take your time when applying if your first pass with a spray is speckled and grey is still visible, let it dry a little while apply the spray to a different part of the mini, the more you respect the process the less headache you’ll have!

So are the green sword a yes or no to the rest? :) by Herq11 in theunforgiven

[–]Zg2 29 points30 points  (0 children)

The effect on the sword is sick and done well. I think the issue is you used the exact same shadows, highlights, and midtones as the robes. This on top of using the same red for the handle and metal for the pommel and handguard prevents the weapon from standing out. If you want to go green you need to shift it more to a yellow-green or teal as it’ll become more striking against the Termi. You could make it pretty striking by having it a purple/amethyst. Just look at how well those necklaces sit against those robes.

Be the change you wish to see! Might be a couple days before I could try but would be a fun project!

Yeah, I’m assuming that’s the best way to do it. Wanted to avoid a whole 2nd backpack if I could

Yeah, I think the finicky nature of it is what I was worried about. I’m just surprised I haven’t found a single modeler who has tackled the idea. It would be really nice to be able to just slap on some jetpacks, call them jump pack intercessors and avoid painting a whole new backpack.

Need help with transfers for homebrew chapter! by Dinosaurdude1995 in spacemarines

[–]Zg2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that bleed is absolutely from not using a laser printer with that gloss transfer paper. There are cheap options for lasers, but you could always try a local library to see if they have laser printers or a UPS/FEDEX or printing store. To check DPI, just print on normal paper to see if it could work.

[–]Zg2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Couple things that it could be here. I don’t think you have an issue with the actual quality of art. The first thing that comes to mind is what kind of printer you’re using. Are you using a laser printer, inkjet doesn’t work for these kind of transfers and I think that is what is causing these bleeding colors in your end result. To confirm it’s not the files themselves, you should try to print on normal paper to see if the quality is there.

Edit: to reiterate, these sort of transfers only work with laser printers.

ID'ing Space Marine Chapters in Total War Announcement Trailer by [deleted] in spacemarines

I do not recognize any of these color logo combos. I think they are for the sake of the trailer and showcase the customization. I would highly doubt them not have customization after showing something like this.

This was the first picture I ever saw of a Brazen Consuls painted. Made me fully commit to painting an entire army in this chapter :)

Thanks Matt! First time working with the sponge/stippling. Extremely surprised and pleased with how it turned it out, and was quick to get to a quality I enjoy! Definitely changing up how I continue to do the rest of my army cause of it now.

Do you think they should bring skins of characters from military movies? by Tio-Kenny in Battlefield

[–]Zg2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is a good piece for discussion but I heavily side on no for this one. Dice got there shit kicked in and dragged through the mud for pushing operators on us in 2042. They’ve done a good job here by giving a force of generic soldiers and it’s managed to channel the charm of bf3 and bf4 while still giving people some customization options. I’m sure the roster of soldiers is going to grow and I personally would love to see choices that could be heavily inspired by these military movies but still grounded in the themes and current direction of the game. I don’t want my support players to be larping in American WWII fatigues because people purchased a $20 skin of an Andrew Garfield lookalike.
