This is a written version of the Sonic Sledgehammer tutorial. Not my work, just lightly adapted to my paints.
In this recipe I'll explain how I found a decent way to create highlights for beginners without needing a steady hand
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.
Tyranid Custom Hive Fleet Paint Scheme.
This custom Hive Fleet is still a work in progress, and remains unnamed for now.
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.
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.

The Fire Giant from the Blood Rage board game is an excellent mini for testing lava on the base, a fiery sword, glowing runes on the body and OSL effects. My intention was to trial various different effects on different parts of the mini, so just take your pick of the bits you like.
This tutorial (including painting the whole mini) was first published in full about a year ago in three separate posts on https://boardgamegeek.com/blog/8627/griff-glowens-beginners-painting-blog
Here is how I paint the main components of the armour for my Tome Keepers Space Marine Kill Team. A video guide is available on my YouTube channel.
This method uses Citadel Contrast paints as a "base coat" for Infinity models (inspired by the work of The Tabletop Artist on Youtube). I then work my way up using regular layering and highlighting. Typically the first layer is lighter in value, but sometimes not because of how contrast paint behaves (very light higlights and very dark recess shading).
This guide is a work in progress for now. I will update all of the recipes used as I go bit plan on finishing up each of the models when I feel inspired.
