So I've wanted to do a WFB tutorial series for a while now, and I'm finally in a position to undertake such a task.

The hope is to do a single model of each army or race, to show how to easily achieve a decent tabletop standard, without sacrificing detail, but without getting crazy(like giving Elf Spearmen eyes).

With each video, I hope to cover what I consider major points of importance for all around painting which are as follows:

Human(light) skin
Bone
Silver/steel armor
Green Skin
Fur/Brown Skin/leather
Rust, dirt, mud using pigments
Blood
Tattoos
Using Vallejo Liquid Gold/Silver
Painting Red, Yellow and White(I consider these the hardest colors as they always have opacity issues compared to colors like Green and Blue)

Most models will of course cover several of these topics at once, but the hope is to do some of them slightly differently for different armies(i.e. Dark Elves having a darker shade of armor than High Elves).

So which tutorial would you like to see first, and on which Core infantry model?

A decent tatoo tutorial would be excellent.

Also anything to do with weathering, I find that no matter how many weathering tutorials I watch/read I always encounter a new way of doing things!

I would love to see a metallics tutorial. I'm personally really struggling to get that cool blue effect on Grey knights, which is putting me off painting the rest of the box until i figure it out.

I voted Liquid Gold / Silver / Copper since it would be nice to have a tutorial for this truly PITA colors. They look nice, but I know they need a lot of extra care so a tutorial would be great.
Tattoos are a close second. Any help I can get with free-handing is awesome.

I wanted to vote for tattoos and blood, but didn't realize it was a single choice poll until after I had clicked 'submit.' If you want an accurate reading, you should subtract one from the Blood result and add it to the Tattoo result. Sorry.

Hair!!!

From blonds to pulling off blacks.

Tattoos would be awesome. I have yet to find a really good tattoo tutorial.

I chose tattoo's and was very surprised, thought id be almost the only one. I would love any tutorials however as I am about to begin painting my returning army, so im very out of the know how! Keep us posted

Authentic battle damage on infantry is always welcome!

I'd love either a tutorial about Vallejo air metallics mixing/or non reflective metals. (I have a bottle of their copper, unmixed giving me evils across the desk)

All good topics, but tattoos gets my vote for first crack, as it seems to be the least represented in available tutorials. More is good, new is better.

Colour selection in general! How to ensure a varied pallette for an interesting model without ending up with rainbow dash.

Where to put these colours to ensure best effect etc

An excellent idea! I'll add it to my to do list.

Fantastic, thanks

All of the above
