High Elf Mage Tutorial

April 15, 2013, 7:00 am

This one is actually an old tutorial that I've remastered and listed the equivalent paints in the new GW range. The old version was done when I first started doing tutorials, so its not in HD and the audio is terrible. It is still one of my hightest viewed tutorials, so I thought I would remaster it before the new High Elves book comes out.

Here's a tutorial that I made for standard Tau Firewarrior where I show the complete process and explain the steps. The video is at 4x speed and there is a list of the paints I used below. I have a Kroot warrior to paint up as well, so that should be coming soon.

Here's the finished images of the Deathwing Knights as well as a painting tutorial and list of the paints I used. I found these guys a bit quicker to paint than the Deathwing Terminators from Dark Vengeance since there was less bare armour to paint. I found the bone colour on flat surfaces to be the slowest, but since there was less on these guys it went quicker.

The full painting guide is at the bottom of this post.

With all the rumours going around about the new High Elf book I've started working on some models I've had laying around. I've wanted to paint these guys for a long time, but have been quite intimidated by all the fancy stuff on them. Well, I've got the base coats and washes done now, so I'm on the home stretch now.

Another painting tutorial for my Orcs and Goblins. These little critters paint up fairly quickly, but you need a ton of them. As usual, the video is after the break and the painting guide (in pictures) is at the bottom of the post.

Here's the second set of work in progress shots of the Dragon Knights I've been working on. They are taking a while, as is the case with mounted troops.

Here's those Dragon Princes I've been working on, all finished now and a painting guide below. I'm just assembling the new Skycutter now and will have an assembly video of that shortly. Check out the video after the break and paints below that.

As promised, here's the follow up tutorial to the Tau firewarrior one. I followed the basic guide that was published in one of the White Dwarf issues shortly after the new paints were released. Check out the video where I show the complete process at 4x speed. I used my swivel holder this time so he would stay in focus...

≪ Previous: Kroot Carnivore tutorial

I've been meaning to paint this guy for a while, and before I jump onto more High Elf stuff I thought I'd change pace. I'm going to do the majority on my painting rig, so there won't be any pictures, just video. That said, to save a bit of time I did the base colours first since there's nothing too interesting about those.

On a side note, I really hate finecast. The detail on this model is far worse than anything (recent) out of metal or plastic. I really hope GW is able to replace everything with those single figure plastic sprues soon.

High Elf Skycutter Assembly

≪ Previous: Dark Eldar Archon WIP

The Skycutter was the first model that I chose from the new releases High Elves. Its a great looking model with some nice options, but doesn't nearly fit onto the chariot base supplied. I'm sure this is more of an annoyance for people playing in tournaments, along with it being harder to transport due to its fiddly bits.

Anyway, those issues aside, its a great model that goes together quite nicely. Check out the video below:

In anticipation of the new Eldar Codex I painted up a couple guardians and made tutorials for them. Here is the first, done in the Saim-Hann craft world colours. Paints are listed at the bottom. The second tutorial will be for an Iyanden guardian done in the same style.

Here's the second painting tutorial for Eldar. This guy is done in the yellow Iyanden scheme, so lots of yellow. You could also start with a white base and shade to get the yellow, but I chose to go the other way.

After a long summer off and some space marines to kick things started for the fall I'm working on some Ogres I've had in my to-do pile for a while. I really like the ogre models, and this batch will really help fill in some of my ranks. I think its 10 bulls with command and 2 iron guts in this batch... the standard bearer is the one with the knobbler on the top, so I'd like to use it as a BSB. I think I'll make a tutorial for that one, but not the rest of the guys.

I've also got a bunch of high elves in the works, mostly a sky cutter that I started when it first came out, but haven't finished yet. The great eagle is done, but the rest of it is kind of stalled. Hopefully I can get that going again.

I'll keep doing the space marine tutorials since they get lots of hits, but I'd really like to focus on rounding out some of my unfinished armies. Dark Eldar being one of the main ones. Oh, and an easter egg at the bottom for anybody who like to see what else is in the pipeline :)

And now for a bunch of pictures.

Turns out I painted this up a long time ago and never made a tutorial to go along with it. So, here's the explanation about how I went about painting it along with some pictures of the finished product. Paints used are just after the video.

Here's another model that I threw into the batch of Ogres I'm working on, the Gorger. I have two of these actually, but am only painting one. I decided on a dark skin colour and went with the same bright orange/red hair colour as the rest of my army. I think it works. Tutorial will come soon.

Here's the first tactical squad for my upcoming Ultramarines Army. These guys are from the Assault on Black Reach set, and have been sitting in my to-do box for a long time. I think I'll paint up the whole set in Ultramarines colours, so the Terminators will come soon. I have big plans for my Ultramarines army, and hope to pick up some of the new sets shortly.

I base coated these with black spray primer then Army Painter Ultramarine Blue. I picked up a can, so that should help me do a whole army and should help the blue stay consistent.

Here's that Gorger I was working on, all done. I have posted a painting tutorial video and the still images (along with the paints) are at the bottom of this post. I'm happy with how the flesh turned out, but I'm probably going to do something different for the other Gorger I've got waiting.

Alright, the first (of many) Ultramarines guys that I've got to paint up to make an army. These guys will form the backbone of my army, so I'll have to paint up a bunch more of them. I'm using the normal GW colours for these guys, and I'm sure I'll get faster at painting them as I do more of them. Hopefully I'll get a vehicle tutorial posted soon.

≪ Previous: Ultramarines Tactical Squad Finished

This guy has been taking up room on my painting desk, and I'd really like to finish it off. I think the hard work has been completed (the eagle and base) so it shouldn't take too much work to finish off. I've decided to go with the bolt thrower, so I'm only going to paint those guys for now. The paint scheme will be a pretty standard High Elves colour scheme to go along with the rest of my army.
