Guants Complete Guide For the Novice Painter
March 14, 2008
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.
minus_t’s guide to: white power armour
March 12, 2008
Hello again there dear denizens of LO…
After I ‘persuaded’ a friend to paint his marines white, I figured it was only fair for me to try it out myself.
It wasn’t quite as simple as I had at first suspected, so I decided that I would help the poor guy out with this tutorial.
Painting face a step by step tutorial
February 21, 2008
How do you paint face?” is another most asked question in my list. Therefore I put together a short tutorial on how I paint face. For this tutorial I’m using Sir William Peacemaker from Reaper: Dark Heaven line.
Blending earthtones and creating a mudd effect
January 5, 2008
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
December 4, 2007
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
December 4, 2007
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.
Airbrushing Basics
December 3, 2007
Hello, It’s me again, you resident crazed artist, Chrispy. So, obviously people have seen more and more vinyl figures and garage kits nowadays. Some might also think, “That’s impossible to do with a paint brush!” You’re right. It is. Because… it’s an Airbrush.
Paint some 40 Night Goblins in Groups of 5
December 3, 2007
This is how I paint some 40 Night Goblins in Groups of 5. Yeah, the paint job may not win me the coveted GoldenDaemon, but then am I in Baltimore? If you’re like me and your opponets count “Priming” as “Painting” (HEATHENS!) then this will make a world of difference. So, I assume you have a lot of Goblins sitting around naked (And I mean plastic ones, if you have actual goblins running around naked, my sympathy goes out to you.) and put together. One thing I would like you to remember is you are going to be playing with these, so do no make them all into one base, or, like I did, make them so they only fit in a regiment only 3 ways…. So! Prime the evil gobbos like so, remembering to go over any grey spots:
