Looking forward to seeing some WIP from you know what!
Is what we do! The scheme was client request, but we love doing these unusual schemes really gives the team a chance to show of and try something new!
I'm looking forward to it too! Was in touch with Nuke this morning, he told me it's on his work desk and will be receiving his undivided attention shortly!

Things have been quiet image wise on here, this is because Nuke is teaching me how to edit the images so that we can have massive updates rather than the slow trickle. ( Busy studio = less time for Nuke to edit images.)
Nuke's been working on:
A touch we put on the models is to mount commanders on display stands, this really lets you show off the army. Plus it's fun!
Although we do imitate GW style on request, we love to add weathering and patina. This gives you Raven Wing Nuke-Style! Our own unique twist ;D

Wahoo!
This one's for you and the animosity goers. Nuke began work on the prize mini today, decided stock miniature is not prizey or display enough. And has decided to work an an awesome display diorama, starring an Imperial Fist and an unfortunate Daemon Prince. Strictly WIP of course, this is just a mock up of the pose, green stuff work to come! I believe the idea of painting some yellow for a change has gone to Nuke's head

This miniature is being created especially for the Animosity Campaign Weekend in December. The winner of our painting competition will walk away with this awesome piece, as well as having the oppurtunity to play in a weekends worth of narrative gaming.
For more info, to find out how to join us for the weekend and potentially win this generously gifted, you can check our dakka page...
Thank you! It's still a rough mock up and there's alot of work to come. But we have a feeling this piece is going to be something the studio can be really proud of!

Indeed.
Any chance of a tutorial or hints/tips for "roughly mocking" that sort of thing up?
My first attempt at a bit of fabric taught me a lot (mostly not to do it the way I did it )
The earlier painting tutorials were very interesting and will be useful in the future.

One will come! We gotta pretty long request list for tips, there's a fair few on our facebook we haven't put on here yet and vice versa. Once the studio has calmed down we'll make one!

It's posts like this that makes us keep a blog! Thanks for the comment, and be sure to check back!

Complete pleasure mate! Hopefully there will be a link between the animosity events and Nuke Arts for a long time to come!

Okay Guys, sorry about the lack of updates lately but the studio is swamped (In a great, good way.)
Our friends over at animosity are doing an ace campaign week,end, story driven. A friendly bunch with some great painted minis. Did I mention they are also receiving a display standard painted custom conversion based on the 25th anniversary mini and a Daemon Prince? From Nuke as a prize for the painting competition.
Well they need two non-imperial players, get on down. Play some awesome 40k, have a shot at a Nuke Freebie, represent!
I wish that I could paint as well as Nukearts studio. I also really appreciate the fact that you are willing to give little tutorials to help other painters get better and learn new techniques. Some of the other painting studios try to keep all of their secrets super close to their chest which is really offputting.
I will say now that my hobby New Year's Resolution will be to learn how to weather models, such as adding scuffs, scrapes, rust and other environmental/battle damage.

Thank you for keeping the rest of us inspired!
Thank you for the kind words! Practice makes perfect mate.
We understand why some commission painters would keep their secrets close to their chest: however we feel we're part of the community so we want to share our experience out there!
Sounds like a great idea, battle damage, and pigment weathering can be super fun! There's some tuts on the facebook we haven't put on here yet so be sure to check them out. We're also thinking about putting up articles on Dakka in the near future
That's a really great prize you've got painted there!
A question -- How are GW metallics painted? I've been using the GW burnished gold and I'm less than pleased with its coverage. I've been trying to skip the use of these glittery paints altogether, but I still need it sometimes.

Feel the LOVE!
Thanks man! The love has been felt

Burnished gold has never really had great coverage, I used to use it over the top of dwarf bronze (I think that's the colour.) The silver paints GW put out are pretty good however. There's a few things you can do with gold to get it to work:
Use brown as a base coat or a mix of brown and gold, build it up over a couple of layers. Use vallejo model colour golds or the new gw golds which are better coverage than the old gw golds in my experience. Or, and this I believe is the best option, get liquid metal golds from Vallejo. These are metallic pigments in alcohol, and you have to mix them with isopropynal alcohol (cheap off ebay) or they can be too thick as the solvent evaporates quickly, use alcohol to clean your brush, and use a synthetic brush ( the ones gw have are synthetic.) This paint has amazing coverage, and a shine that is second to none. Personally 90% of the golds I paint are using these, just do not mix with water or clean brush with water as it will rust! However once you use these golds you'll love painting gold believe me! There's a few shades so you'll never have to use gold acrylics again! They also do a silver which is pretty good, and copper.

This is yours trulys own personal army the Nuke team are working on, I'd like to remind you that these were sent in in a pretty poor state, bad paint job, gluing, mould lines, etc. Now they're getting the Nuke treatment, in the studios personal style!
