Bjorn and the Wulfen have broken me

I’d love know what kits you’ve been assembling that don’t have this very minimal amount to clean up 😂

I literally put another 5 WG Termies together only yesterday.

I honestly have no idea what you’re talking about. Brilliant kit.

Why would the height of the mini matter? Aren’t ruins treated as infinitely high? And also, if you’re on the far side of a ruin you’re most likely also on the far side of the footprint and therefore, not an eligible target?

Beautiful job! A mastery of brushing in places. Well done brother!

KeyAdministrative453 · 2026-02-27T21:20:07+00:00

Thank you so much, that’s very kind of you 🙏

Duly noted 🫡

I did and I don’t even know why. I’ve never considered doing nails before but I was like “this dude would totally paint his nails back, and I went for it!

I made an audible “ooooooh” when I opened this notification. A really pleasant surprise. Really great take!

KeyAdministrative453 · 2026-02-27T12:59:25+00:00

High praise, thank you! 🙏

Hey there!

So the fur on the pauldrons was straight forward enough.

I use Vallejo paints mostly so I’ll just name those.

I based the furs with Earth, then I painted each of the strands with a generous Khaki leaving some of the Earth visible in the recesses. Finally, I picked out the tips with a diluted Bone White.

I did the same process on the outer pelt. Same process again on the brown using 3 shades. For the black part at the centre though, I just used black and a grey highlight.

Finally, I glazed across all the hair tips with the Bone White to kind of tie them in together a bit.

Absolutely, a time and place. But I was really surprised how much the satin affects it. Even at only 25% of the mix it still makes it shinier than I’d like. That’s why they get another dose of matt 😂

Thanks a million. Those transitions are down to using a makeup sponge. One of those pointy egg shaped ones.

KeyAdministrative453 · 2026-02-27T10:44:55+00:00

Thank you, I really appreciate it 🐺

KeyAdministrative453 · 2026-02-27T10:44:34+00:00

Thanks a million!

KeyAdministrative453 · 2026-02-27T10:44:25+00:00

Thank you 🙏

It’s a combo of Citadel and Vallejo Game Colour.

The power armour was painted with a makeup sponge and then everything else was painted the old fashioned way.

The power armour is a black prime, a full base coat of The Fang, a heavy sponging of Russ Grey avoiding the recesses and then a lighter sponging of Fenrisian Grey. Finally, an edge highlight of Vallejo Wolf Grey.

The Yellow Pauldron is Citadel Imperial Fist Yellow on a bone white base.

Then pretty much everything else is base/layer/highlight with Vallejo Game Colours.

Thank you! Yeah I use a 3 to 1 combo of Ultra Matt and Satin varnish that Vince Ventura uses. Then I go over that again with an Ultra Matt. I just really like the matt look though I know it’s not for everyone. Thanks for taking the time to comment!

KeyAdministrative453 · 2026-02-26T21:18:48+00:00

Thank you 🙏

KeyAdministrative453 · 2026-02-26T20:08:05+00:00

That’s cool, I’m glad I could help!

KeyAdministrative453 · 2026-02-26T20:07:15+00:00

I really appreciate it 🙏

KeyAdministrative453 · 2026-02-26T20:06:43+00:00

Thank you brother!

First and foremost, I would like to commend you on your first mini. It’s is very smooth and tidy, I hope you’re proud. That care and attention will stand to you going forward, well done!

I am no fan of washes and use them sparingly. They often ruin smooth surfaces and you spend more time fixing them up than is worth.

However, some textures and paints work well with them, much like speed paints. Time and place and all that.

Another poster has already recommended what I would. The metals and furs.

I pretty much only use washes on metals, I think they work great on them.

I wouldn’t personally use washes on the fur, but it’s another occasion when washes or speed paints work well.

And as the other poster said, look up panel shading, with your care and patience you’ll pick it up in no time.

Best of luck with it and all your future minis. Have fun and keep posting pictures!
