How I painted my Lawmen Gang for this popular skirmish game. For these lads, I decided that blue-grey cloth, with pops of a cold white would be their identifying colors. The rest of the miniature was populated with pretty neutral or complimentary colours.
- Grey Seer is probably the wrong base for non-translucent colours. Need to think about which base color holds it best
- Magenta can go on as is and later be worked down with white layers. I think same for orange.
- Probably possible to rotate layers and clean up mess as you go
This is the process I used for painting these Poxwalkers for Blackstone Fortress, but it could easily be applied to other undead creatures. When it comes to playing around with washes in the final steps, don't be afraid to play around with placement. the main aim is to build up contrast in recesses and add lots of different tones to the flesh.
All paints were matt Humbrol. 2 layers. I think I either need to use an airbrush, or thin the paint more.
Good tack on the finish. Bit gluggy. Layers need to be thinner.
Don't follow this for now, this is just my note keeping but I will update it later :)
Getting a decent white skin tone on these Daemons was my focus here. I think they turned out alright for the effort invested.
This is a written version of the Sonic Sledgehammer tutorial. Not my work, just lightly adapted to my paints.
Method used to paint 'warp gold', adapted from the Eavy Metal explanation by Max Faleij. Updated February 2022 with some improvements!
In this recipe I'll explain how I found a decent way to create highlights for beginners without needing a steady hand
This collection of recipes is largely me playing about and refining potential methods of painting zombie skin. Most are as simple as contrast paints over different colour basecoats, followed by highlights. I have painted Warlord Games' "Project Z" miniatures in this guide, but they could easily be applied to Poxwalkers, Deadwalker Zombies or any other undead unit.
Tyranid Custom Hive Fleet Paint Scheme.
This custom Hive Fleet is still a work in progress, and remains unnamed for now.
This molten metal looking blade is based strongly upon a YouTube tutorial by "2brushes1cup". Be sure to check it out, if you are looking to achieve a similar effect.
This recipe should be good for bone on 3D printed models which have quite heavy detail or those printed in bright colours. On a model with finer details you could skip the black undercoat and start straight from wraithbone.
Here is my recipe for Saurus Warriors. I went the direction of the box art, but wanted the color to be a bit darker/muted.
The Big Man himself. This model is hardcore and looks damn intimidating if you dont plan out each section well. Fun to paint but there is definitely a lot going on. I painted him in a single piece (Besides the base) by first priming and zenithal highlighting the entire model then using liquid mask to cover his flesh so I could airbrush the cloak. No two ways about it, if this is an option for you it will save you a LOT of time and look damn good. I cannot recommend the Cult of Paint tutorial enough for this and as a really good look at the process of painting a large centrepiece like this. I <3 Cult of Paint.
