The Army Painter
Wondered if they were doing a model for that guy in the lore book. Fred Flintstone wants his ribcage back.
Edited by keltheosThis might help some new painters!!!
Dip method, always an option.
Neat, where is this from?
That's how I painted...

This is on the Army Painter website, in the gallery section.
There's one for the Reanimates too...

Beat me to it...
Hey, they skipped the 'wash in warm soapy water' step they put on the Necromancer. Do that with all my models these days.
I like the dark blue armor. Interesting color choice. I'm also glad I get to use my Strong Tone Quickshade again. Haven't used this product since my Black Plague painting and it's just been sitting there

Same here (black plague-love the fatties!) Tho I'm not a huge fan of their paint scheme on the reanimates...
Looks quite nice. I'm a huge proponent of dipping and even did a tutorial on it some years back.

My Daquan are all getting the "old-school" version of the "Army Painter" method.
-Rustoleum green spray paint
-Base colors via craft paint. Also trying out a new speed technique with silver paint markers.
-Dip (undecided on emersion or brush-on) of Minwax Polyshades Tudor
-Matte varnish and maybe a bit of drybrushing.
-Basing and done.
Edited by eilifNo highlighting. Interesting.
Would like to see how the silver speed paint markers work out. Link or post if you can please.
I never dipped any of my miniature, I do use washes but normally don't put them on the whole miniature just certain parts I want shaded.

Speedy, intro-level work. Great to see a 'here's how you can start painting' paint tutorial.

A properly done dip will be applied over slightly lighter paint colors than normal. When applied the dip (which is heavy and thicker than a wash or stain due to the inclusion of polyurethane) will fall away from the edges creating a pseudo-highlight. Sort of the reverse of the way it sinks into the crevases and darkens them. Some folks still go back and highlight or drybrush, but if the base colors are light enough you usually don't have too.
It could just be lighting or processing, but it does look like the necromancer's robes may have gotten a bit of a drybrush betwen step 4b and the final army shot...
As an asside, the thickness of the dip also is what makes it settle in the unique way that it does to create the shading effect.

Will do. I'm blogging the process and have just submitted the assembly (with minor conversions) post to our club blog editor. I'll do one or two more about the painting process and will post about them here as well.
OK, time to ask FFG to give us a painting and army building section as well as a few other sub threads...
