traderghost 0 Posted July 22, 2011 Has anyone painted their Axis Gorillas yet? I know Dcal12 has. If you have, kindly please post your pics here. I love to see those fully painted gorillas because I myself can't paint for peanuts So far, I've seen you all paint human figures (and what a wonderful job!) and I love to see how you guys paint an animal. Thanks, guys! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks, guys! Dude, I painted mine yesterday. I will post after I put a coat of antishine on them. But all I do, is spray paint them black primer, dry brush some gray over the hair to bring out detail, paint the eyes and tongue..then the teeth, I cover them in QuickShade and then a coat of anti-shine. I think I will get another set of Gorillas because on the card I noticed some bloody scratches on the chest of the Gorillas. And I think that would be cool. Oh yeah I also popped the hands off them painted them gray with a dry brush of gun metal. By far the easiest miniature to paint, but I understand unlike the other great painters on here, I paint quickly so I can play more. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is exactly how I plan painting mine, I think they will be the next squad to get done...well once I get the Axis machine gun squad done. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peacekeeper_b 5 Posted July 23, 2011 Ive only painted Markus, but I might try the dry brush grey on the backs. I gave marcus dwarf flesh for his skin areas to give him a more "human/monstrosity" look to him. But the rest I will do in normal "ape" tones. And if I knew how to load a photo, I would!

Fast Co. 0 Posted August 1, 2011 I've been painting for years, and am relatively good at it, so if you mean the eyes and such, I just use a steady hand and fine brush. I have a 'base coat and floorwax wash everything" sort of approach to Dust mini's, so anything you see is probably a cheap and easy technique. these were black with a drybrush of dark grey, then the gauntlets were painted silver and gold. I washed the gloves with diluted black and picked out the teeth and eyes and that was that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
traderghost 0 Posted August 3, 2011 Fast,..... Those eyes.... those eyes!!!! They look alive !! You're good, man! One of the best I've seen Once again, thank you so much for sharing pictures of Titus, Cassius, Brutus and Markus Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
arkangl2 6 Posted August 3, 2011 I have a tutorial on how to paint the fur without using black and just using codex grey and black wash on my blog. I picked it up from a friend of mine who plays a Warhammer Mortal Chaos Army when I was painting my Space Wolves Army Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
