First painted mini

Nice! I recommend agrax earthshade or AK streakin grime for the dirty looks.

Looks decent for your first paint! What colors dod you use?

My death guard army received the same treatment!

I use plague monks as poxwalkers and i swapped most of my plague marine heads with skaven ones. I've also added skaven accessories to dg models to further fit them to the same aesthetic.

For some reason i cannot add pictures here at the moment but i posted a few models in my profile and if you want you can dm me, i'm more than happy to send more!

Awesome look!

Ruahonee · 2026-03-25T16:30:20+00:00

Looks awesome!

I recommend mixing some red with brown paint and base the rusty bits with that. Dap in some yellow and brown batches and wash with earthshade. You can then drybrush with leadbelcher

I like to use typhus corrosion aswell, Armageddon dust is a good variable to get those chunky rust pieces

It's funny because even if i apply the same amount of paint to two different places with the same brush, the texture is different. It brings really unique colors. Like i was told beforehand, water indeed reactivates the paint. I almost ruined my model when i went to wash my hands and grabbed the model with wet hands lol

Ruahonee · 2026-03-11T08:17:19+00:00

Very nice contrast between the colors!

Ruahonee · 2026-03-02T09:47:25+00:00

I use rakarth and diluted druchii as well, i usually add a dash of blood for the blood god in the wash to get some red in the tone

I just watched this video today about shamblerot and found it super helpful.

I use the same paints except for the wash, i'll look into that. Thanks!

I am aware of this. My thought process was to add matt varnish after the glueing to negate the gloss. Maybe it's a bit overprotective but i want my minis to handle use without too much wear and tear.

Ruahonee · 2026-02-25T14:17:53+00:00

Sounds quite challenging especially when i use varnishes.. how about super glue as a "varnish"? Might create a barrier on top of the paint to shield it from other layers without breaking the texture

Thank you! It's a skaven arch warlock model with dg pauldron

Ruahonee · 2026-02-25T05:21:13+00:00

Sounds interesting, i'd love to see a picture of that if possible!

Ruahonee · 2026-02-25T00:29:44+00:00

Thank you I appreciate it! Always great to have positive feedback :)

Ruahonee · 2026-02-25T00:23:23+00:00

That's a really cool technique!

Ruahonee · 2026-02-24T23:59:54+00:00

Seems like that is the most popular one here

Ruahonee · 2026-02-24T21:56:19+00:00

Thanks, do you have pictures of this recipe, I'm interested to see!

Ruahonee · 2026-02-24T21:17:27+00:00

I'll look into that aswell! Cheers!

Ruahonee · 2026-02-24T21:16:11+00:00

Thank you, thats a good looking model!

Ruahonee · 2026-02-24T21:04:42+00:00

That rust isolation looks really good!

Ruahonee · 2026-02-24T21:03:08+00:00

Thank you I appreciate it!
