A quick guide to ‘Dipping’ your minis

This is a guide on using “Dip” or “Dipping” as a technique to quickly paint miniatures. “Dipping” is a technique that is very easy, saves a bunch of time, and looks really great on a variety of figures. The technique has been out there for a long time, most famously here.
This thread is mainly a re-cap and gathering of posts and images from my thread Godzilla Tyranid Army

True Metallics with Citadel Washes

Hello again everyone. I have been playing around with the new Citadel Washes and I must say that I love them! I recently tried painting true metallics with the washes and was quite pleased with the results. The washes are very smooth and low in pigment, so they are perfect for the job!

Necrons Painting Guide

Now, this isn’t necessarily the best or the fast way. But it’s fairly quick and yields nice results. This was rushed a little so feel free to take more time if you want. My setup is pretty simple. A tile (or in this case, plate), some water, some tissue and some paints.

Painting Imperial Guard

I’ve gotten numerous requests for a tutorial on how to paint flesh so I thought I would take the time tonight to oblige those who have seen my Imperial Guardsmen and have inquired. Hopefully even those that don’t play IG can take something away from this. Faces can be scary to the beginning painter and I will attempt to show that this shouldn’t be the case at all. With just a little practice, patience and THINNED paint, anyone can make great faces for their armies which will make the model “pop” even more on the tabletop.

Guants Complete Guide For the Novice Painter

After introducing several people into the table top figure gaming world, I have come to realize that a major preconception is that painting is easy. Many a person I have seen look at my extremely well painted figures and then expect themselves to be able to recreate the same level of detail on their first try. This creates a lot of frustration as many of the techniques that I and other experiences painters employ are abstract to new painters. So the following is an explanation of how to paint your figures to a high and easily reached table top standard.

Blending earthtones and creating a mudd effect

In This tutorial I will try to show how I blend the robe of a warcrow miniature in a natural green colour, and also how I make a mudd-effect on the clothes. This is the same technique that has been used on Sir Broderick in the my gallery. I excuse for the difference in the quality and nuances of the pictures - but it is extremely diffucult to create the same light-conditions when taking pictures. I hope you find this tutorial usefull.

Painting the slann mage priest

The first big obstacle was how to paint his skin (Or her skin. Or it’s. Didn’t I once hear about some frogs being asexual? I think that was Jurassic Park…) Anyway, I didn’t want to copy the GW paintjob, which I loved, and all examples of doing it very colorfully hadn’t turned out very well in my opinion. I settled on a dark, toad-like look. I started the skin with a complete coat of a dark brown, GW’s scorched brown. I then gave this a black wash, and highlighted this with a layer of one half scorched brown, one half GW’s catachan green.

Creating Blood Splatters

I found a way to create blood splatter effects using an empty Vallejo paint bottle. For this demostartion, I used GW’s inks. One word of warning before you begin, clear your work area of part painted/finish models. Reason is it might get messy if you were to accidentally splash some inks all over when you shut the covers of those ink bottles.
