Dark Eldar Scourges (Finished and Painting guide)

Its been a while since my last Dark Eldar painting tutorial, so I thought I'd do the Scourges I've had waiting.  I painted a whole ton of dark eldar base colours with my airbrush a while back, so I kind of skip that step in this tutorial.  I basically took the main armour colours and sprayed the progressive highlights from above to give some object source style lighting.  After that I drybrushed them with Helion green dry to bring out some of the edges.  This means the base colours are pretty standard across my army, but don't really add much to the final look of the model.

Dwarf Warrior Painting Guide

Here's my latest painting guide for a basic Dwarf Warrior.  This one is from the Battle for Skull Pass set, so he's a one piece model with a little less detail.  I did him up in a way that would be easy to do a ton of rank and file troops so you can get your army on the table quickly.  I'm hoping to pick up one of the new Dwarf Characters, but I'm not sure how soon I'll be able to get him painted.

Here's the new Dragon Slayer plastic character.  These single pose plastic characters are stunning, and the dynamic pose on this guy really takes the cake.  I'll be painting him up as soon as I get a chance and posting a video, but that may take a week or so.

Here's the finished Dragon Slayer that I showed the other day.  I said it before, but it bears repeating; this is an amazing model.  Stunning pose and detail, and because its plastic I'm not concerned about it breaking or bending.

I used a fairly standard scheme, but recently picked up some edge paints, so those were used on the beard.  Not sure what else is worth mentioning, but if there are any questions, please let me know.

I've just picked up one of the new Imperial Knights, and its impressive.  I've got an unboxing video below and I have some thoughts about ridges on GW kits below.  I'll be doing an assembly and magnetization video shortly and will follow up with a painting video.

Imperial Knight Assembly Video

Wow... that took much longer than I expected.  I embarked on an assembly and magnetization tutorial, and ended up with a video almost an hour long.  It turns out there isn't much magnetization needed on this.  There are some shared parts for the gun, and you can do a sort of hybrid version that lets you swap out the main bits.  I had intended to make a short and concise video showing how to swap them out, but in the end I'll have to do a blog post with some screen shots.

Anyway, this is an impressive kit when assembled.  Its 6" tall, and as you can see below, not as tall as a stompa, but still quite large.  I've also compared it to a land raider and mega-dread below.

The assembly video goes through the whole process, start to finish, showing which parts I left off for better access during painting. There are some tips along the way, so if this is the sort of thing that interests you, you can watch it while you assemble yours (pausing between steps to catch up).

I hope to have it painted soon, but this thing is large, so I'm not sure how long that will take...

Here's another of the new plastic characters from the Space Marine release.  This guy has fantastic detail, and I enjoyed painting him as much as all the other plastic characters that have been released.  I used the same basic scheme for black armour that I typically do, which is highlighting then bringing it down with a Nuln Oil wash after.

Anyway, a painting guide and full video are after the break.

I've been working on the main panels with an airbrush, and am ready to move over to hand painting.  I'm not sure if this was the most efficient way, but it beats trying to mask off all the stuff I've painted (I think).

I'm using one of the standard schemes, and if the metallic turns out ok then it'll be pretty cool looking on the table.

Here's that Imperial Knight I did the unboxing and assembly for.  I did the heavy lifting by airbrushing the base layers and hazard stripes then brushed the details before adding the decals.  After those wear sealed I did some oil washes and weathering powders to finish.  Because its such a large model the fine details aren't quite there, but the overall model will look great on my shelf (or table).

Anyway, a basic painting guide is below along with the full video after the break.

This one was a quick project inbetween some of the longer ones to give me a break.  Fantasy models tend to paint up quicker, so can be a bit more rewarding because they are done faster.  This guy is from the night goblin command squad, and has some really cool effects with the smoke.  I'm not sure I did it justice, but it painted up quick, so I'm happy to move on.

Check out the video and painting guide below.

I picked up this model a long time ago when I was first starting my Dark Eldar Collection.  The base colours were airbrushed along with a ton of other stuff in my army, so I don't have video of that.  I like the look of this guy, although I'm not sure he'll ever see a table top.  Anyway, its in the regular dark eldar paint scheme and the guide is below along with the video.  Enjoy.

Ork Bikers Tutorial and Guide

Here's a whole wack of Speed Freakz to add to my army.  I've always liked having bikers, but never got around to painting up the guys I had sitting around... so I figured with the rumours of a new Ork book coming soon I should get in gear.  I used a simple method of base coating where I sprayed them black and did a heavy drybrush of Necron Compound.  I think this worked out quite well, and the only thing I'd do differently if I were to do these guys again would be to add more red on the bikes.

In this batch are the three Forgeworld Nob bikerz as well as a squad of 6 regular bikers (5 boyz and 1 nob with power klaw).  This is in addition to the Biker boss I already have and a squad of nob bikers... so maybe a couple more biker mobs and I'll be good to go.

Here's a painting tutorial of the Plague Monk that comes with the Screaming Bell/Plague Furnace kit.  I have two of them, so as a result have an extra plague monk to mount on a 20mm base.  I added a thin piece of cork and have had this guy ready to go for years.  Anyway, its a fairly simple paint scheme so was pretty rewarding to paint up fast.  Check out the video and let me know if there are any requests for future tutorials.

Legion of the Damned (tutorial and Guide)

My first memory of Legion of the Damned was when the first Games Workshop store opened in Toronto and they sold a limited edition Legion Sergent.  Of course I was collecting Orks and my brother Blood Angels, so he got the guy.  He ended up doing a full squad using regular marines with flames and bones painted on regular armour.

Anyway, these models aren't quite as old as that, and they're finecast (failcast?) but have still been around for a while.  I've wanted  to paint them up since the Space Marine codex came out last year, but only got around to them now.  I dug out an old White Dwarf painting article (from the previous paint set) and basically followed it to paint up this squad.  Nothing earth shattering, just your typical black armour, bones and flames, but the painting guide is below along with a video tutorial.  Enjoy.

Ork Trukk Tutorial and Guide

Here's my latest addition to my Ork collection.  I've had this truck assembled and primed for quite a while, but never got around to painting it (like so many other things).  I've come up with a decent method of cutting time off Ork vehicles by spraying them with a silver base before painting.  Its not a solid colour, more of a directional layer over a black base.  From here the washes and a drybrush of necron compound finished with some weathering powders does the trick.  The additional colours help breakup the mini, in this cae black, yellow and bronze.

I have some shoota boyz with after market gas masks to go with this, so hopefully I get to painting them up relatively soon.

How to Paint Ork Flesh

I suppose this will work for Orcs as well, but for the moment the focus is on 40k orks.  Here's a quick tutorial showing how to layer paint Ork flesh using citadel paints.  Obviously this isn't the only way to do it, but is what I'm currently using.  Depending on the look you're going for you can leave out a highlight or add a glaze, or even use different greens. Whatever the case, this method will work for any base-shade-layer-layer method.

I have an Grot/Ammo Runt/Grot Orderly/Gretchin tutorial coming next.

Badmoon Shoota Boyz

Below you'll see some badmoons that I've had on my to-do list for quite some time.  I picked up the gas mas heads back in 2010 (link to the store below), and have been waiting to do these guys and the trukk for some time.

http://basicks.eu/shop/index.php?id_product=200&controller=product&id_lang=1

The Nob has a Black Orc head that has been modified to look like a gas mask, and the big shoota boy has a burna boy head.  The gas mask heads came in a pack of 10, so I needed to makeup two more to finish out the 12 boy mob.

The techniques were similar to the Badmoon trukk I did a few weeks ago, except without the weathering powders.  Fun guys to paint and a mob of 12 is small enough to be enjoyable.

Here's a first look at the Ork Gorkanaut, and whats in the box.  No surprises here really, three sprues, instructions and the normal ork decal sheet.  There are some nice bits, but not really much extra stuff like was in the stompa kit.  I'm working on an assembly set next, and of course a painting video after that.
