Painting horns and bones for the Death Guard legion.
The painting processes contains a lot of glazing, so remember to thin your paints down enough for smooth transitions.
Hints:
- Use a good medium to thin your paints down like Contrast or Lahmian Medium. I don't recommend water, because it breaks up the pigmets too much for my taste.
- glaze (very thinned paint) the bones from bottom to the top, applying multiple thinned layers while getting closer to the top.
- mix colors for even smoother transitions
Some experiments with textured paints and washes.
This is a custom recipe of mine trying to achieve the look of space marines as depicted on "Assault On Black Reach" from 2008.
How I paint my Nighthaunt armies
Used on pauldron trim and accessories. The technique for highlights is starting from the center of the highlight use thin lines going across. As you move away from the highlight leave greater and greater space between each line showing the base coat or previous highlight layer showing.
Standard way to paint New Wave models. Used so far for New Wave Expansion Pack Alpha (3 miniatures: 1 Teucer with Plasma Sniper Rifle, 1 Patroclus with Heavy Rocket Launcher, and 1 Contrabandolero Hacker with Submachine Gun).
First time I've painted New Wave and was a fun way to do some more distinct colour. Wanted to make sure red really worked (had to try a few different paints before settling on contrast as base and then highlighting up from there)
Simplepaint scheme for GW's Lord of the Rings Wood Elf Warriors
this is my homebrew Tyranid hive fleet, hungry and violent this hive fleet is persistent and will stop at nothing to eat and eat. they are currently fighting on the planet of Isocoast, a mining facility with organic ore (don't ask me how that works it just does) a biomass rich planet the Tyranids want. however the Tyranids cannot burrow into the mines as the ground of this planet is covered in a snow that stiffens when pressed on, this is because of the wonky gravity on Isocoast. exterminatus is not an option because this world has a one of a kind ore that has not been recorded anywhere else (especially since this ore can grow back) the ore on this planet I good for burning, consuming, and producing ammunition. there has been an ongoing war for 234 years with no turning point. because after all in the grim darkness of the far future, there is only war.
I wasn't 100% sure how to approach the skin of my Kroot, but also wanted some variation in skin tone for these boys. So, I decided to just wing it and have a play. Some of these methods may not be the most efficient, but if you wanted to replicate the results, here is what I did...
A nice green cloak that uses purple for the shadow and yellow for the highlight.
The recipe for the armours and helmets of the Knights of the Precipice Stormhost.
I recommend using a soft-bristled brush for the drybrushing, while a stiff-bristled one for the stippling.
How to paint Ultramarine Space Marines like the box art style. For this guide, I pulled the majority of the information from the excellent recipes given on Eavy-Archive.com.
Quite possibly my favourite of all Rumbleslam miniatures. I love this big dorky boy! I had to go for the traditional nerd colour scheme that all 80's/90's kids are familiar with, especially since the sculpt fitting it perfectly.
I wanted to build a retinue of stealthy spooky death-obsessed 'marines, and this is my WIP build of what I have managed to do so far. I was trying to go for a company that maybe spent more time amongst the grave worlds of the Ghoul Stars, purging hostile xenos quickly and quietly, emerging like phantoms from the mist (cue dramatic music). I want them to look weathered and maybe a bit ethereal, without going full legion of the damned, because I'm not cool enough for that.
Please let me know if you have any comments or suggestions, this is just a quick dirty guide I made after coming back to the hobby after a +10 year hiatus. I should also note that I have a benign tremor, hence my reliance on drybrushing over edge highlighting.
