I posted some eBay questions and a lot of people said I should try commission instead but I’m not sure with payments and being scammed and postage any tips? Also with payments I NEED to know how to do it so I don’t get scammed and the buyer knows their safe

Discussion Does anyone else feel a little guilty at painting something "good enough"?

53 Upvotes

Over the course of this year, I've pushed myself to paint well, but not to get bogged down in detail too much. I feel the urge towards perfectionism, but also lack the focus, patience and discipline to actually do it. I completed the first 2000 points army I've had since I was a kid but I'm keenly aware I could have done better, but likely wouldn't be halfway there by now.

Basically I'm just asking how folk feel about the spectrum between "blocked colours in" and "absolute best I can do".

I've been working on improving my 3D video rendering pipeline for personal pet project. I've asked a couple of friends for some topics, and Warhammer 40k lore came up. So I thought, hey why not? Let's have some fun with it. One prompt, one take, one result: a tech priest fixing printer.

The premise of the reel pipeline is for business applications, but for the fun aspect of it, I thought it's more fitting here.

Do you guys have any fun topics you'd want to see rendered in this style?

Hobby Shokkjump Dragsta: Il Tempo Gigante | C&C wanted

Thumbnail gallery
• Upvotes

Just finished a Shokkjump Dragsta, my first vehicle and largest mini I have painted so far. For any Scandinavians out there the car's colour scheme is heavily inspired by Il Tempo Gigante from the Flaklypa series, as well as an attempt to get the orks looking similar-ish to the characters. I'm really trying to improve with my painting so any C&C is welcome, I would love feedback. I attempted some osl aswell for the first time so any advice on that would be really nice 😁

Hobby How do you tackle your pile of shame?

Post image
858 Upvotes

I’ve been playing Warhammer for over a year now, and one of my absolute favourite parts of the hobby is painting miniatures. However, I’ve been struggling to find the time and energy to actually sit down and paint. I wake up at 6:00 AM, get home around 6:00 PM, and by that point, I still have work to finish, dinner to be cooked, and other things to take care of. By the time everything is done, I’m usually completely exhausted.

Even when I do have some free time and feel like painting, the thought of having to take out all my paints, brushes, models, and other supplies, set everything up, and then clean it all away afterwards feels like a huge barrier. It takes me out of whatever workflow I’m already in, and sometimes the effort of getting everything ready is enough to put me off painting entirely.

It’s frustrating because painting is something I genuinely enjoy and want to spend more time doing, but it feels like my schedule and energy levels are constantly working against me. I don’t want to lose touch with a hobby I’m passionate about just because I can’t find a convenient way to fit it into my daily life. I’d love to find a way to make painting easier to pick up whenever I have even a little bit of free time, without it feeling like another task on an already exhausting day.

Hobby Getting back into the hobby

Hello.

I haven't been keeping up with try hobby at all.

I made a start when I was in uni and after I left my uni house I gave up.

I've now been asked for what I want for Christmas and I think it might be a good chance to get back into it.

What sets would people recommend?

Maybe another starter set or a small build?

I like 4000 and Age of Sigmar stuff but am open to anything

I have attached some pictures of my previous small pieces just so you can see what sort of stuff I was doing before

Thank you 🥰

I really wanted to paint this edition of Heroes in Macragge Blue. Dual-wielding chainswords looks so cool, even though you can only make attacks for one of them in the actual game.

Hobby Magnetizing Belakor Decorations

2 Upvotes

Hello! I'd appreciate the help if can, but I'm wanting to magnetize Belakors decorations (the space marine and chaos warrior) so they can be interchangeable. I run both AoS and 40k and I'd like to just have my friends army colors on each model. I was wondering if anyone has seen anyone else do it, if there's possibly a tutorial, or someone demonstrating its placements. I am unsure exactly where to drill if I wanna do this, as its my first time. Don't wanna crew it up and all. Thank you!
