Has anyone painted their Axis Gorillas yet? I know Dcal12 has. If you have, kindly please post your pics here. I love to see those fully painted gorillas because I myself can't paint for peanuts
So far, I've seen you all paint human figures (and what a wonderful job!) and I love to see how you guys paint an animal. Thanks, guys!

Dude, I painted mine yesterday. I will post after I put a coat of antishine on them. But all I do, is spray paint them black primer, dry brush some gray over the hair to bring out detail, paint the eyes and tongue..then the teeth, I cover them in QuickShade and then a coat of anti-shine. I think I will get another set of Gorillas because on the card I noticed some bloody scratches on the chest of the Gorillas. And I think that would be cool. Oh yeah I also popped the hands off them painted them gray with a dry brush of gun metal.
By far the easiest miniature to paint, but I understand unlike the other great painters on here, I paint quickly so I can play more.

This is exactly how I plan painting mine, I think they will be the next squad to get done...well once I get the Axis machine gun squad done.
Ive only painted Markus, but I might try the dry brush grey on the backs. I gave marcus dwarf flesh for his skin areas to give him a more "human/monstrosity" look to him. But the rest I will do in normal "ape" tones.
And if I knew how to load a photo, I would!
Make a flickr account or if you've already got a bgg one u can just upload pics to your gallery. Then click the hyperlink button on the boards and you can link the pic.

That's freakin' cool. And I don't even like Gorillas in the game...but this might make me rethink my game biases.
They´re great!!!
I´m looking forward to get my hands on the f**** new models, but at the moment they aren´t available in Germany yet.
Once again, awesome work!!
Your apes look great. What do you use to get in and do the close details?
I've been painting for years, and am relatively good at it, so if you mean the eyes and such, I just use a steady hand and fine brush. I have a 'base coat and floorwax wash everything" sort of approach to Dust mini's, so anything you see is probably a cheap and easy technique. these were black with a drybrush of dark grey, then the gauntlets were painted silver and gold. I washed the gloves with diluted black and picked out the teeth and eyes and that was that.
Fast,..... Those eyes.... those eyes!!!! They look alive !!
You're good, man! One of the best I've seen
Once again, thank you so much for sharing pictures of Titus, Cassius, Brutus and Markus
I have a tutorial on how to paint the fur without using black and just using codex grey and black wash on my blog. I picked it up from a friend of mine who plays a Warhammer Mortal Chaos Army when I was painting my Space Wolves Army
