A while back I made a thread gauging interest in a tutorial series for WFB models. There are thousands of 40k tutorials out there, but not nearly as many for Fantasy.

So, these tutorials will be covering a single core troop from every army painted to what I consider my own tabletop standard(which is more than just base colors/wash).

I plan to cover core painting issues like thinning, additives, mixing and so on, as well as basic techniques that drastically improve the overall finished product such as highlighting, shading etc.

My question is whether to include airbrushing in any stage or not beyond priming. I personally airbrush single color base coats on ever model I do, using whichever color will take up most of the model. In some cases it's metal, others it's skin or fur, and then I airbrush the rims of every base.

So should I include those steps or should I just hand paint them for the videos?

I say include the airbrush. I look forward to what you come up with.

Are you going to have a youtube channel one can subscribe to?

I will be updating my current youtube channel for the videos yes. The only things on it now are some videos of me drumming so those will be removed and the layout will be updated to something appropriate.

Can you please update this thread when you have the youtube channel all ready to go? I am sure others would also be interested in watching. :-)

I'd be interested in airbrush tutorials. I've got a single action badger that was a gift that I've yet to break out of the box because I'm just not sure how to go about using it to the best effect yet.
