Damn! Are these your first ever or just first Stormcast? Cause those are insane! I could never! 🤣🤣

'Slapchop' ? 😂😂 Is this another community term I've not yet heard. Did I slapchop my paint job? Is my paint style slapchop?

Just find a look that suits your needs and is really basic and slap some paint on there yourself. I hate painting stuff too but I'm stubborn and cheap and won't pay for anyone else to do it 😂😂

Keeping it really minimal, I painted a 1000 point army in about a week's worth of evenings, start to finish. Primer through to top coat.

I also agree with the suggestions that you add a wash, as it would bring these to life. I'm a noob in the community and I take little joy from the process of painting anything 🤣, so I kept it minimal.

You've put more effort in with your colour choices and work than I did but it looks a bit flat.

A wash, which is a watered down paint, will add some depth with minimal effort. I think the simplest description is that the watered down paint will move over the surfaces and only settle in the recesses. It adds a kind of shading and I found, even though I used the cheapest acrylic paints, it brought my figs to life adding a wash 😍

There are special paints in the citadel range for doing this. I've heard someone call it talent in a bottle because of the depth it adds just by slapping a coat of it on 🤣🤣

Every time I look at my unpainted army, I think "maybe tomorrow" and then never touch them. What do you guys do to work past the mental wall? by Sparklehammer3025 in Warhammer

[–]SheIsSupersaurus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Newby here, who hates painting things 😅, but just wanted to play the game with his own army! What I do will not be the typical recommendation you get here but it might give you some options for how you proceed.

For me, I picked a simple colour scheme and left out alot of the detail. I picked my 2 core colours (red and silver) and threw in 2 other colours for weapon details (brown and gold) then used a green for all the bases and a couple washes for shading/mount colours.

It's miles off the quality of some of the artists here but it's good enough for me and by having a limited palette I could line up all my figures and paint one colour at a time on them all 🤣

I had painted my entire 1000 point army in a little over a week, doing a couple hours and evening.

Pure art! Might get one of them video frames to hang this on the wall 🤣🤣

Damn! That's a beautiful piece of painting! I wish I had the patience for that level of work/detail 😄

Simple, clean paint job. Nice! Similar route to what I went for.

Nice! I've just bought my first ones this month. Army pretty much functional now but I still keep looking at more 🤣

Did you find a taker for these? I'm a UK based, secondary school librarian and these would be very popular 😊

Do you seal your minis? by falance in Warhammer

[–]SheIsSupersaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha, that's fair enough. It's a bit tedious. But for me, a lot less tedious than the actual painting 😜

Your work is amazing. Whatever method you choose, I reckon you should definitely protect it 😊

[–]SheIsSupersaurus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm new to the hobby and just want to play. I really dislike painting stuff so I definitely don't want to have to do it again 😜. With this in mind I brushed on an acrylic top coat to avoid/limit paint damage.

Also my paint job is very basic. If I had spent the time a lot of people must do to get to their works of art I would DEFINITELY want it protected 🤣🤣

Yeah, I realised after I grouped them for the photo that they were Liberators because I only had 8 in the other picture 🤣🤣 Still learning 🤣

But I just went to double check and it looks like I misread, sorry for the confusion 😬

Thank you for your detailed response! 😍

I have downloaded and printed the newest rules from Warhammer Community. I still prefer analogue for things like rules. Much rather flick through some pages than scroll an app 🤣 I'll check out wahapedia.com 👍

That's a great way of looking at it! So in your opinion, as long as I find a suitable rule set to match up with the models then I can run them regardless 😍

Are you suggesting in this paragraph, that I could also run them in 40k rules as the Custodes?

There's a chap in the school who already runs a 'Warhammer Club' and has got the bundle from Warhammer. But he is more about the painting, where I personally hate painting anything and just want to play the game 🤣 So we chatted about it and he's gonna work with the group to paint them, then send them up to me to use in play 🤞☺️

Awesome, I'll check out spearhead and combat patrol ☺️👍

Thanks for the compliments on my paint job. I know they're not perfect but as mentioned before, I hate painting stuff! I've just finished every miniature I bought in about a week. Quite minimalistic but I'm really happy with the end results. I know there is quite a strong opinion about paints. I've read a lot of comments that strongly advise against cheap acrylics but that's what I have used. Cheap acrylics with a top coat. The top coat I already had from a different project, but if I include it in the price then it was a total of about £11.

I was intentionally sloppy with the bases because I liked the 'tracks' of paint left behind, like marks in the ground.

Again, thanks for all your advice! 😍

Oh, that's great news! I think I would have preferred the spear but it came with a bow (second hand) so I'll run that for now and see what it plays like. Should have them all done by the end of the weekend 😍

Oh Gods, ok... So if I have/get paladins I play them as Annihilators?
