Then I just have to say hurray

And great work on the stompa, it really looks nice.

You sir are a gifted painter with a real eye for detail!
That ork pinching one off, on the top of the stompa had me in stiches. Cannot wait to see your next project. Subscribed!

Masterful! You have really brought this beast to life in true Ork fashion!

Sorry for no updates lately but I was sick (and grumpy <-- remark of amazing wife). Now I'm feeling much better and it is time to get back to painting.
Here comes a command squad for my Ultramarines project. Enjoy ;D

Your painting skills are impressive every time I look at your models

Would you think about doing a step by step tutorial?

I'm gonna think about making tutorial. I promise ;D
Today is Ork Commando Nob. Wonderfull Forgeworld miniature and start of my commando troops.

Really nice painting style you have , all grimy and dark , and a very creative mind too. look forward to seeing more great stuff.

Is it just me, or is your nob wonky?

Looks great from the front, but from the side he looks like he is falling over.

He miscalculated weight of his backpack and axe. ;D

More fantastic painting. We need Tuts

Glorious work!

really excellent Puzi

Hello,
It is time for promised tutorial. I hope it will be helpfull.

After I basecoated miniature with Citadel Chaos Black spray, I put base colours. I always try to use Fundation Colours, because they have good coverage and I hate to paint the same area again and again.
So for this Renegate Ogryn I used: Knarlock Green for cap, Tallarn Flesh for skin, Tausept Ochre for pants, Calthan Brown for leathers, Tin Bitz and Chaos Silver (Chaos Black+Boltgun Metal 1:1), Vallejo Heavy Siena for base.

Then it is time for wash. I usually use Devlan Mud or Badab Black, in this case I used the first. Wash is real heavy. I really dont care much about it, the goal is to have clear contours and shadows, all other things can be corrected lately.

The last shot is for already dry miniature.

See, for me the wash stage is pretty much the final stage in the painting process

After miniature is dry (usually on the next day) I do a drybrushing. Bestial Brown and Vomit Brown for base. Dwarf Bronze, Boltgun Metal, Chainmail and then Mithril Silver for metals basecoted with Tin Bitz, the same but without Dwarf Bronze for Chaos Silver parts. Then I start to put highlights. I use that usefull Citadel Layering Chart for choosing colours. I'm painting with very light brush strokes, using watered down paints. For a cap I used Camo Green and then mixing into it more and more Rotting Flesh. For skin Dwarf Flesh with mixing Elf Flesh. For leathers Bestial Brown with Vomit Brown. For pants Tausept Ochre+Golden Yellow with more and more Skull White. Then I washed skin with heavy watered Liche Purple, leathers and metals with Scorched Brown, and veryl lightly metals with Blazing Orange (few spots).
When all is dry I wash the whole miniature with Gryphone Sephia wash, this time not overdoing it. Goal is to smooth all layers of paint together.

Then I put that funny headgear on my head. Try this, this is the whole new world of painting when you can zoom in a miniature. And do details.

Miniature is finished then. I hope you enjoy

I just said a bad word

but in a good way if you see what I mean.

I have the same headloupe
so how come my minis don't look as good!?

Yep, great work as usual, ty for the tut, and I already stole your idea of using aluminum foil as a pallet

Very nice tutorial, your method seems to be fairly simple while still achieving superb effects at the end of it all. Great work!

Thanks for the tut, it is much appreciated, Great work too

Thanks for the tutorial - will have to spend some time painting something nice now

Great tutorial. I've been using a fairly similar method so this has been really helpful.

Hi Guys,

Remember that Renegate Ogryn from the tutorial? He has few brothers now ;D

Ahead of me is a really huge project. I want to repay old debt to my friends and paint Dark Eldar army for them. I'm not 40k player (at least not battle game) so I picked ready army from Games Workshop website:

http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/content/article.jsp?categoryId=400036&pIndex=1&aId=12500035a&multiPageMode=true&start=2

It is 1500 points army with about 50 models including 4 Raiders and 2 Ravagers and I have only two, max three months to paint it. Cross fingers for me.

This is inspiransion for the color scheme I plan to use:

First two boxes of kabal warriors and raiders should come in this week.

Hi all,

I waited longer than expected for the ordered dark eldars so in the meantime I painted two renegate heavy weapon squads.

Last Friday they arrived at last! Instead of two Raiders I got one Raider and one box of Reavers, but it doesn't matter.
Now all miniatures are glued and basecoated, I also painted bases. Tomorrow I'm gonna paint first test model. Wish me luck

Ok I have my prototype model, now I have to figure out how to speed up painting process without spending few hours on each miniature. Hmm ...

When you find out how to paint the rest of them as amazingly is this one, but quickly, please post a TUT
