Sparkglow 57 Posted July 13, 2015 Love it! Can you give a newb a flyby of your technique? Primer, base, wash, etc? Please and thank you. Hey what i first start with is the primer, skull white spray, with ultra marines i began painting the entire model with ultra marine blue, than i drybrushed with a lighter shade of blue, after that i drybrushed with white.After that I did the detail work, drybrushed if needed. Than i washed the entire model with nuln oil. . You can paint almost anything by using these steps, prime, layer, highlight, drybrush, wash Its pretty simple. i recommend for these small miniatures to use a holder to stick the miniature onto, it makes it easier because you can rotate swiftly and your hand is steadier with the brush. 1 shoreless reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sozin 2,656 Posted July 16, 2015 (edited) Based coated and washed. Next step is to add a layer to brighten up the post-wash base coat, and then add highlights. Edited July 16, 2015 by sozin 1 Sparkglow reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Indalecio 381 Posted July 20, 2015 (edited) This is amazing, man. About the parts of the mini that are not in the same color as the overall model (cockpit, weapons etc). Do you prime them again once you´re done with the rest of the model? About the Eldars you did, is that yellow with brown ink? (I'm not familiar with the GW names as I use Vallejo) Edited July 20, 2015 by Indalecio Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(I'm not familiar with the GW names as I use Vallejo) We'll let the artist speak for himself, but I expect he did the yellow paint job then went over it with a brown/black wash to give it some dimension and 'wear'.

Do you prime them again once you´re done with the rest of the model? About the Eldars you did, is that yellow with brown ink? (I'm not familiar with the GW names as I use Vallejo) If I am gonna be a bit specific i first gave the miniature a white primer, I then painted it with a darker yellow, highlighted on the big surface and sharp edges with a lighter form of yellow, I then drybrushed the entire miniature with white. After that i painted the details such as cockpits, weapons and such. Because i wanted a wear and been-in-combat look i did my highlights prior to the wash. I washed with a darker kind of wash called nuln oil. If it had been bigger miniiatures i might have drybrushed a bit afterwards but i like how these turned out so i kept it like this And cockpits , yes i painted those again after the wash with a brighter kind of blue, did a spot of light blue and white do add som reflection elements. I am just glad you guys liked it, feel free to post your stuff. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
