I wanted to replicate a classic 80's-90's style base with paints that are currently available. This is what I came up with.
This is how I paint a stealth oriented T'au Cadre. The scheme is based on desaturated grey-blues, greys, black, red wine (for some pop), bronze and night vision optics.
The recipe calls for wet blending, glazing, dry brushing and edge highlighting. Feel free to omit these techniques or replace them with one you are more comfortable with
The models are based in an environment resembling the setting of 'Spec ops: The Line', wherein a metropolis is in the process of being buried by sandstorms. These sandstorms are creating an artificial night and creating pockets of poor visibility in the urban centre. With that in mind, where reasonable, I've sculpted (poorly) some camouflage cloaks to protect the units from the sandstorm and provide extra concealment. I've tried my best to make the models look battle-worn and battered, hoping to illustrate the desperation of the situation.
The narrative I had in mind is based on this cadre's fire caste and air caste compliment using ambushes, surgical strikes, assassination, and other cunning tricks to delay an attacking force while the T'au evacuate civilians on a T'au assimilated Imperial world, now fully absorbed into the T'au Sphere, with T'au architecture and technology. The T'au are using an otherwise hostile environment to their advantage, using the sun blocking sandstorms as cover in their Kauyon doctrine to disrupt the enemy formations in a painful defence in depth.
Simple Cairn Wraith without too many accessories.
I've decided to eventually get around to making 1:1 colour schemes for all of the Tyranid Warrior art works of the 9 main Hive Fleets. Kronos is to be the first as it was the Hive Fleet I played during 9th Ed (that, and I am thoroughly biased for it haha).
For Kronos, the model used is a Norn Emissary as it is what I had at hand. I will eventually post a combined recipe for all 9 Hive Fleets, with the examples being 9 Tyranid Warriors, built (possibly cut up / kitbashed if necessary) and posed to be as close to the art as possible. Said combined post will also include Neuroloids to serve as examples for brain matter for each Hive Fleet, as close to the style each artwork was made with so to stay true to it.
The next 1:1 will be Jormungandr, followed by Behemoth, Kraken, Ouroboros, Hydra, Leviathan, Tiamat, and Gorgon in this order.
To keep things as simple to follow / do yourself, all paints used will be from Citadel, except for white. (Citadel white sucks, use literally any other brand)
Each ratio and mix has been tested multiple times, and is made to be exactly as shown in the art, so each ratio mentioned will be extremely specific.
If anyone has any questions or requests for artwork 1:1 recipes, feel free to ask me through Discord, located in my profile.
I came up with this recipe to help show that painting Chaos Space Marines can be fairly quick and easy.
I painted these Deathmark miniatures for my Hierotek Circle Kill team, but this exact set of recipes can be used for painting the full Warhammer 40,000 unit. I hope you will find it useful.
How I painted the Autosavant for my Inquisitorial Agents Kill Team. I tried to stick mostly to the box art for this one.
Painting Star Wars Empire - Scout troopers, Storm troopers, Snow Trooper etc.. (trying to get the colours exactly like the movies)
A reminder to myself of how I paint the gold on my Salamanders.
The oil paints used are Winsor & Newton Winton Oils, because that's what I have! The oil wash is comprised of about five times as much white spirit as paint
Update: A simpler version is included in my Salamanders tutorial here: https://paintpad.app/recipes/2325-salamanders-v0-9
Hexen Lichen and Death World Forest
Quick metallic used for Imperial Fists.
I used the 'Trisha, the Fiery Sorceress' model from Signum Games for this colour scheme. I have always been a fan of the Witcher and the opportunity to paint my own interpretation of Triss was too good to turn down. You can get your own copy of 'Trisha' here: https://signumgames.com/store/characters/trisha-the-fiery-sorceress-2/aff/19/
Here is how I painted my very first Cadian. He was done as part of a general edge highlighting video, which can be found on my YouTube channel.
A clean Alpha Legion scheme meant for speed. The most important bit is the hue of the blue-green armour. Other paints or mixes may give different results.
It's divided in two workloads; airbrushing the armor and filling the details. Each can be done on different sessions and on different amounts of models. For instance, I do the airbrushing on 10 to 20 models at a time and then the hand painting on 5 models at a time.
For this scheme you'll need an airbrush and some skill with it!
A color scheme based on the Nautilar Enclave of the Idoneth Deepkin.
