How did you get 2nd degree burns on your shoulders

How did you get burned?

>>5048849
>>5048850

He went outside on a sunny day.

>>5048849
>>5048850

He's probably pale as fuck and doesn't ever go outside. It happens to be pretty outside lately and since he had to go outside to get his freshly ordered paints from the mail, his shoulders burned due to the burning sun.

>>5048849

Why aren't you spending the time off having sex with your significant other or trying to find one?

How did you shoulder your burns?

>>5048852
Hit shappens.

I seem to remember Scriptarius being from some Scandinavian style country, which would explain the burns.

However, my memory is pitiful and you could easily be as british or american as everyone else here.

Serious question. I need a Skaven-like cannon for a conversion but I don't want to buy a Wrap-lightning one cause it's a big too long for the idea.

Any tips on making one?

Lucifron turned his dark gaze on OP?

How burned you get your did shouldered.

NO WE ARE FUCKING SERIOUS! HOW THE FUCK DID YOU GET BURNED!? WE MUST KNOW!

>>5048849
>>5048850
I got a job that involves working outdoors
It's bloody hot so I wok topless.
Sunburn is a bitch
>>5048852
>>5048855

>>5048866
I'm so picky about my women I rarely feel like getting into real relationships.
>And of the last two women I might have liked to try it out with, one moved to Italy and the other is kinda so-so

Where do you get those FUCKING SHOULDERPADS ON THE SERGEANT I WANT THEM FUCK.

>>5048881

Dogs of war cannons?

I seem to remember the galloping gun being smaller than a regular cannon.

Are you the conversionfag that did this greatcoat?

If so tips please, I had a crack at this the other day that didn’t turn out as awesome as I hoped...

YOU GONN GET SKIN CANCER

>>5048889
Follow-up, why do you get off of work?

I live in the U.S. if I get sun burned I go to work. Hell if I get in a car accident, I better call my boss or I'm getting fired if I don't limp in bleeding to death.

>Ask a Conversionfag anything

Do you like my conversion?

>>5048870
with cream
>>5048878
I'm Finnish, sometimes mistaken for a brit. Damn hot summer we're having this year too
>>5048881
Well the Skaven Warpfire thrower is similar in style, you just need to add the warpstone core onto the back

>>5048887
Sunburn due to working topless outdoors

>>5048894

Isn't that model not available in shops anymore , and the only way to get it is ordering it from GW?

I'm thinking of something really cheap. I already have few capacitor for the Warpstone engine.

>>5048911
2nd degree burns means he stayed out in the sun until he was peeling...and then a few more hours after that. It's probably painful for him to move. It also makes him and idiot for not wearing sunscreen/protective clothing.

>>5048916

Well kind of. I need something really long barreled.

>>5048889
Are you going to do any conversions to commemorate the death of Micheal Jackson?

I don't know...Micheal Jackson Necron Lord?

>>5048904
Well 1st of all that's a shooped pic so the end result won't be quite like that.
2ndly, the best way to go at that onversion is to take a Cadian, shave the lower part of the coat down a bit, then wrap a thin sheet of GS around the legs leaving the front open, let it set for a while and then shape it so it connects well to the top part.
If you do the legs 1st without the torso glued on, chances are the coat will look mismatched.
>>5048905
FOR FATHER NURGLE
>>5048911
My boss is cool and my doctor won't let me work.
Also my co-worker busted his ankle and I'm useless alone.
>>5048913
Pretty cool, remids me of a lictor I made once
>I call him mr. Ballet Dancer

>>5048943
cheers, I’ll give it another go

>>5048924
I did have cream on, too hot for a shirt.
I wasn't able to sleep for a few days due to pain, now I have some scars on my shoulders
>>5048927
2 Warpfire throwers on end?
>>5048930
I really don't know if I'll do anything MJ related, his death honestly didn't move me that much
If anything, I might do a Thriller zombie or Smooth Criminal model

>>5048930
Fuck that. Do Billy Mays!

What would sound better for Billy, a Commissar or a Commander or a missionary?

>>5048943
>I got a job that involves working outdoors
>Also my co-worker busted his ankle and I'm useless alone.

What is your job that requires you to work topless in pairs outdoors?

>>5048958

Hmmrr... could work. What about the 'guts' of the cannon though? Any recommendations for them? Or should I just greenstuff the entire cannon (sans the barrel)

>>5048924
>and idiot

Question: How do you stop procrastinating and actually get shit done.

>>5048974
Depending on what mk. arour you want there are tutorials on B&CS and Dakkadakka I'm sure.
Termies work pretty well on their own, just replace the terminator pauldrons with the semi-circle ones like what Horus has in the Horus VS Empra painting. A further guide was in the WD that came out shortyl after thye released the Black Templars

How do I model snow?

>>5048976
This sounds like every other weekend I spend with my friends

>>5048998
Indeed there was.

>>5048998

THIS IS WHAT I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR

>>5049020
Citadel Snow Scatter is a fast and easy way
messing around with flour, baking soda and/or white sawdust will eventualy give results too
Also if you can get some white plastic, making tiny shavings of that works too

>>5048971
>>5048998
Ah nuts, I just sat down again.

>>5049073
You can have a beer after you've done your work

On an unrelated note, I'm torn between getting my ear pierced (so I can attach my monocle chain to my ear), getting a tattoo (of what?) and being boring and not getting anything

>>5049084
Clearly the only answer is to have a mini-Aquila tattooed onto your ear lobe.

>>5049110
When I asked out loud yesterday

Mom - ear piercing
Dad - don't care
Friend - barcode tattoo

I'm kinda partial to the idea of an Aquilla tattoo on my upper back myself

>>5049084
>getting my ear pierced (so I can attach my monocle chain to my ear)

OH GOD THAT IS THE MOST DAPPER THING I HAVE EVER HEARD ON HIS BOARD!

YOU SIR ARE A GENTLEMAN AND A SCHOLAR

>>5049084
Considering i've got:
-1 last SM bike to Cadia-ize
-An Executioner cannon to greenstuff/milliput
-An Apache to convert into a Valkyrie-esqe thing
Aaand a Baneblade to paint, that beer could be a long way away.

>>5049123
I also lately scored myself one of those safari helmets to go with the monocle

>>5049126
Do the Apache I want to see how it turns out

>>5049130
Would you suggest putting full-on wings on it or just leaving the main rotor on. The rear rotor is getting taken off either way so the rear end can be split to give it a twin tail.

>>5049128
And you wonder why people mistake you for British, you're more of a Brit than half of the population here.

>>5049169
Do you want it to look like a copter or an airplane?
That is the only question here

>>5049128
Now you only need a handlebar 'stache.

>>5049181
I also have an accent so brittish that when I last was to the UK most of the people I talked with ended up wonder just what part of the UK I was from
Some refused to believe me when I told them I was from Finland.
>I also pack a backup scot and redneck southerner accent
>I do voiceacting whenever I can find work

>>5049187
I got sideburns and a (shitty) small moustache at the moment

Should I buy a Valkyrie for no reason whatsoever despite not even having any Guard units at all?

>>5049187
As much as I love the guy, blonde handlebars never work.

Also, fuck it, gonna slap the rotors on, if push comes to shove, they'll be removable later on if I get creative enough to sculpt/find some Valk wing bitz.

>>5049210
Yes. Just look how awesome it is.

Beware- It takes FUCKING FOREVER to paint.

>>5049126

I'm curious to see how that apache turns out

>>5049226
I can't paint. At all.

But does it really possess people?

>>5049218
I like the big white tiger thing.

>>5049234
At the moment, just the cockpit/chin lascannon are done, the stock pilots work just fine, though I might lop off the heads and replace with the Valk door gunner ones later on.

>>5049238

Yes. I've had my entire Uni house pick up the thing in succession and start 'NEEEEEEEOOOOWWWWW'-ing it around the room. Only one of them knows what 40k is.

>>5049210
It's a pretty cool mini, BB aside, probably the best showpiece vehicle

>>5049261
The one bitch is, neither the Baneblade nor the Valk fit on the shelves I have back home, kinda sucks when you want to be nerdy and have armour EVERYWHERE.

mmm jaeger

I have a newfound hatred for Apache rotor assemblies. Oh god why.

Scriptarius, have you, or anyone for that matter, ever made a mini of you?

>>5049374
I have long ago, based on Fabius Bile with some bitz and an Inquisitor hat

>>5049380
Care to post it?

>>5049257
We need to get like a hidden cam thing going on and see how many people will play with a single Valkyrie.

>>5049386
I don't seem to have a photo of it in my archives and the camera s broken

>>5049394
You don't even need a hidden camera, just put it on a table and let the fun begin.

>>5049394
... you know, now that I think of it, those damn things really look like they're ASKING you to play with them.

>>5048847
Be so kind as to post a few random pics out of your collection of finished conversions and models? I find I enjoy just watching well-made and/or imaginative minis.

>>5049412
It gets amusing when you've just white-tacked the rockets/cockpit canopy on and they start apologizing profusely when stuff inevitably falls off.

How do I convert loyalist marines to look chaosy?

>>5049423
Am not Scripty, but i'll dump what I have of his, is mostly Gingerbreadnaught. Can pic pics of me CHEESETANK if boredom strikes between gluing together bits of bastarding Apache rotor.

>>5049432

If you had to make Praetorians, how would you go about with it?

>>5049576
Yes, Codex - Rogue Traders

>>5049603
The dapper IG regiment?
Don't they still sell those in the Online Store collector's area?
If I had to conert them however, it'd be a massive GS/filing down job on Cadians

Hey Scripty did you ever finish Toth's BOOTmobile?

>>5049620
It's still unfinished...

>>5049603
Look up Col. Gravis's blog, he's got a bunch of stuff on Praetorians and converting them.

http://colgravis.blogspot.com/2009/05/sculpting-pith-helmetted-heads-part-1.html

>>5049615
Yup, the daper guys. My personal problem is to make a shitload of pith helmets.

Anyways, what do you think about Død Snø?

>>5049674
Sculpt 'em.
The first 5 will suck
The next 10 will be meh
The next 10 will be ok
The final 125 will be cake

Also never seen the movie

I'm trying to give my chapter master a more angelic feel, do you know how I could do this? I'm trying to give him wings as a jump pack proxy at the moment, do you know where could I get some?

>>5049683
You should. Ohhh, you should. Best zombie movie since Braindead.

rolled 31 = 31

>>5049691

GW has a fuck-ton of wings to pick and choose from.

Swooping Hawk wings, like in >>5049525 work exceptionally well for jump-packs.

>>5049691
Depending on the level of HUGE you want, Empire Pegasus, Swooping Hawk Exarch are worth looking into
A toy bird of some kind might also work

I'd also suggest some extra cloth
>These aren't my models

Hmm... should I go out and buy some food or just eat the fish pie I have in the fridge?

Thanks, cool images.

Gets fucked up during an assassination mission, rehabbed with experimental drugs and methods, goes rogue with a group of other Specops and a few scientists, builds small strikeforce and tries to destroy the country that took his life away twice.

Tall reasonably athletic albino in his 30's, uses lots of makeup and sunglasses to cover the albinism when possible, dislikes going out during the day, later develops painkiller addiction and minor hulk-out moments due to the rehab

Hey Script which of your conversions is your favourite? and for what reason? ( always wanted to ask you this )

>>5050395
Probably Sauronator or the Chaos Dragon

Chaos Dragon has a lot of good memories to him
Sauronator is one of my most outside the box conversions

Script, have you considered making an entire army of faporks?

>>5050394
He's a pretty cool guy.

Also, apachefag here, the chin-Lascannon is done, lacking a camera though.

>>5050464
nope
>>5050501
you can do it man!

>>5049964
Hmm... well that's pretty balanced. Atleast you didn't make a horrible mary sue

>>5050702
Still faggotry in it.
Red eyes? C'mon.

>>5050544
Am taking a break for the time being, am wondering if could get away with having the Hellfire missiles count-as the other twin-linked lascannons, or whether I should just get a couple of Land Raider/Predator sponson LC's and bung them on next to the rockets.

>>5050763
>I don't know shit about albinism.

>>5050768
The latter. 6 lascannons looks awesome

>>5050779
Using albinism overall is kinda LOOKIT MAH SPESHUL SNOOFLAKE

How would you model some shield maidens for a space wolf force?

>>5050798
only if you use it badly like most people, i've seen cases where people use it in characters without it being just outright look at me faggotry. sadly these are rare cases though

>>5050812
Always needs more Dark Eldar slaves

>>5050798
>>5050822
Well the character has existed for years and over time I've reworked him to be less faggy (created when I was 13, you know kids those age makge faggy shit)
The albinism is a feature I've kept mostly because that's how I've used to picturing him, and because it adds some defining flaws to him (easy to identify, dislike of sunlight, etc. + red eyes make for a fun intimidating factor)

>>5050853
I demand to know of his ORIGINAL version.

>>5050853
well from your reasons for keeping it are the sort of examples i've seen work when they are done well i've played all to many games where i ended up killing the characters of the immature little shits who went with the omg speshul albino option

>>5050892
I'd second this but I fear I might die if I read about your 13 year old OCs

>>5050914
>>5050892
Well for a short history of the character he went from
-long haired guy with sunglasses who ruled a small island country
-same as above, as a secret agent
-above, half cyborg, evil, ruled a large cult army
-above without the cyborg bit, albino, trenchcoat
to the current incarnation

>>5050958
I detect traces of hardassery, and they ain't faint.

>>5050997
His weapon of choise went from
-charismatic talking
-any gun available
-cyborb melee
-mauser red9 + custom sniper rifle (agent) / scythe + roid rage berserk mode (cult)
to a mix of talk, any gun available and roid rage

>>5050958
So were any of them outlests for personal fantasy?

>>5050792
It'll be 4 on the stub-wings + the chin lascannon at most, unless I could find a way to shoehorn another lascannon barrel onto the Cadian HW Lascannon that's currently under the nose.

>>5051088
The first one mainly, unless you count the 4th incarnation's relationship with another character based on my then-girlfriend.

>>5051041
>Scythe
Was this just 100% faggotry or was there an actual reason here?

>>5051156
He was the leader of a deathcult who wore modernised reaper-outfits and carried flamethrowers.
The scythe was there to enhance the death-imagery. An an albino, he filled the role of the Pale Rider pretty well even without a horse.
Any real fighting he had to do he'd do while berserking out due to the his life-support drugs

>>5051184
save for two cases:
-him cutting the wings (long story full of biogenetics, mutagens and super soldier research) off another character
-him decapitating the main antagonist (rule of cool applied here in massive amounts)

>>5051184
>>5051200
I have to admit that a fairly good reason to have a scythe there...

>>5051200
The setting had nazis and biomutant angels?

I am looking to do a conversion for a Slaaneshi Daemon Prince, and I want something "beautiful" but also imposing, so the Keeper of Secrets model doesn't really work. I was thinking of a Deciever C'Tan or even Saint Celestine with some wings and Icons added in, but do you have any ideas? It would be particularly cool to do a Chaos-y Celestine, but since it's an all-metal model I'm not sure.

>>5051328
from what I've gathered it had
-nazis
-secret agents
-supersoldiers
-deathcults
-angels
seem slike one hell of a setting

>>5051348
The core body of Celestine is an unworkable brick but if you are careful you can file away the imperial details and sculpt on chaos ones instead, then add something like Lord of Change wings to make it big enough for a DP, replace the head etc.

Deciever would be well easier to be honest

>>5051394

Thanks. I figured as much, but I particularly want a female daemon just for variety, and I expect I'll be better at Chaos-ing up an already-female model than greenstuffing tits to a Deceiver. I'll keep thinking about it.

So I just bought, like, 4 boxes of Bloodletters.

The kit is so suprisingly plain. Like horribly so.

How can I make my 2 Bloodhowlers really stand out? I mean, sure, the head makes them pretty obvious but that's ALL there is to seperate them from the normal Bloodletters.

As a vaguely related note, wouldn't Hellblades make kick ass Relic Blades?

>>5051570
Shoulderpads of brASS, a loincloth, some horns on the guard of their sword, extra spikes on back

Hellblades make jawsome SM swords

For size comparison, are Tau hands the same size as Guardsman hands, just short one finger?

>>5051735
As far as I recall, yes.
I think most Tau and IG bits fit together pretty well, the Tau just were a bit skinnier

Are Eldar chainswords any narrower than Imperial ones? I'm trying to make a plastic Scorpion Exarch, and I don't have any CC weapons for reference.

Im working on a 10 man sternguard squad, represented by deathwatch marines from 10 different chapters. Thus far I have:

-Imperial fist Sergent with powerfist
-salamander with combi melta
-Dark angel with a storm bolter
-Ultramarine with some surveying equipement.
-space wolf with a heavy bolter

Can you think of any other fun chapter + appropriet conversions for this squad?

rolled 90 = 90

>>5051805

The straight-backed chainswords are roughly the same size. Its the double-sized CSM ones that are oddly huge.

You should be fine.

>>5051858
I'm terrible with chapter thematics outside Dark Angels, Black Templars and Iron hands
If you want an Iron Hand, he should be either toting more surveilance gear or hardwired guns
A Black Templar needs a sword. A big overtly decorative one chained to his hand

>>5049493
what head is that? everyone knows theres no hair in the 41st millenium, so im assuming its from WHF?

>>5051964
SM Scout

On a note related to the OC that spawned so much discussion, he might need a new name. Any suggestions?
>He has gone by the name of Mark Fox in previous incarnations

>>5051938

Its for an iron hands army over all.

Incidentally, speaking of iron hands, How would you suggest making an Iron Father?

>>5051858
If you do a Blood Angels marine, you could also use some Dark Angels bits with them; like the feather bits and censers/ornaments. You could also try giving him an eviscerator (counts as power weapon/fist) coated with blood and gore.

>>5052014
The special edition (helmetless) techmarine, sculpt on some robes (Techprist style, no hood), give him 2 (or 4) Fabius Bile style, a double-edged Tech-axe and add some chains and bling.

Former spyrer, DH.
Marcus Vulpesian is a more fitting name for the setting.

also, all of these pictures of yours are now saved to my computer.

Should try it some day for a few more elaborate unit conversions I have in mind

>>5053989
yes, i was thinking of using it to have tons of extra parts for whatever conversion that could come to mind
but I'd also like to know about what you think of citadel paints and if there's better alternatives (that i won't have to pay through the nose online for)

>>5054028
I only use Citadel so I can't really give an unbiased opinnion

>>5049521

holy shit, is that a Crowmissar?

>>5054200
indeed it is

>>5049529
I'm still not happy about this

>>5049521

I didn't know that you got in on the Eclipsion Terrorguard, Script

Is there a good alternative to greenstuff that you can use to sculpt(or at least use as the bulk for) big things and to use as a gap filler for scratch built (bigger) things

Because I make super heavies out of cardboard and have a problem with covering the "gaps" or whatever they're called (I circled it in the pic)

What's the biggest project you've took on, Scripty?

>>5055837

You've got plasticard and those arms are looking very bare - use it to simultaneously fill the gaps in your cardboard sections and beef up the plating.

Yeah I will probably do that, although the pic was more on an example of the "gap" I face rather than the only thing I would need large amounts of green-stuff like material for
