• Speedpainting a Deathwing Terminator

    I've seen many Speedpaint Articles on the net, so allow me to add my version to the quest for the holy grail of getting your army ready for gaming. This guide is for all of those, who doesn't have the time to masterclass a whole army, let alone getting the boxes of miniatures under the bed ready for gaming.Step 1. Preparation.I've chosen a Terminator from the Space Hulk boxed set - lovely detail and great poses. With a sharp hobby knife*I cut off the Blood Angel insignia. I added a few plastic feathers cut from a spare Goblin Spider Rider, apart from that*the model was ready for priming.Step 2. Colour Primer.I sprayed the model with Colour Primer: Skeleton Bone from The Army Painter. Excellent coverage and nice matt surface. Now the model is almost done... almost!Step 3. Basecoating.Now it's time for regular painting. I painted in flat block colours (no highlights, ink washes or outlining); using Goblin Green (GW), Red (Warpaints), Metal (Warpaints), Astronomicon Grey (GW)*and Bacl (Warpaints). Notice how I stick to fairly bright colours - the Quickshade will tone it all down in the next step.If I made a mistake on the Bone, I touched up with a spot of Bleached Bone (GW).Step 4. Shade with Quickshade Dip.Even though it's called a dip, I just painted on the Quickshade also from The Army Painter. I chose the mid dip called Strong Tone.*It's dead easy to use, just remember to shake the tin before use, stick to an old brush (or you'll ruin it for sure), make sure the Quickshade doesn't pool. Next the model is left to dry for 24+ hours outside in the garage - it's nasty stuff...Step 5. Matt Varnish.I finshed off with a few very thin coats of Anti-Shine Matt Varnish to remove the gloss from the dip. That's it! All in all I spend less than 20 minutes on this model. I know it won't win Golden Deamon, but it looks OK for my Deathwing Army.

      Thanks. It was nice of you to bring this over having originally done it for Army Painter. Good to share things in this hobby.

      Great article. Can't beat the results with the amount of time you put in it. I may have to try it on some of my neglected models now.

      Very nice. I've seen a few Quickshade tutorials, but few that produced such a nice end result.
      What I really like about this technique is you can always go back and add some highlights and other detail touches when you have time. But this gets a great looking mini/army on the table asap!

      AAAAUUUUUUUUUUGGGGHHHHHHHH DIPS

      I kid I kid.... I would absolutely never EVER use dips myself, but they really are amazing when you know how to use them. Granted, every dipped army looks the same so you won't have anything unique... but you'll still have solid tabletop quality army.

      Nice article, keep it up

    A box workstation for painting: design process and bodging carpentry

    A box workstation for painting: design process and bodging carpentry

    This is an article about what I did, in the hope that some of it may be useful to you, but it's not an article meant to tell you what to do. It's meant as an encouragement for you to think logically about problem solving, and to think sensibly through a project to end up with something that serves your needs well, but has not cost you a fortune in money or time. The aim is to get the job done, and then get back to your painting and gaming. The project here is to build a box for paints and equipment, but most of its principles will be equally applicable to any other project in wood, such as gaming tables and scenery.

    Throughout the article I'll use the format of picture first, followed... read more

I was going for a pretty simple base with a bit of a marshy feel. So lets get to the fun stuff! Ok so to start off I made a mass of milliput in the rough shape of a rock. At this point you can't really make it look... read more
