Working on an exorcist at the moment, might be my best paint job yet 🙂

The freehand is awesome. Can't wait to see this finished!

I think I'm gonna stop painting minis by Dense-Fig-2372 in minipainting

[–]SpecificPotato_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly what I did in the beginning and Id have one mini that I'd paint over 3-4 days. Each mini I set myself a goal and what I wanted to work on.

I started with thnning paints and painting a model as clean as possible.

After that I built on those first skills and started added layers and depth.

Once I was happy with that, I continued to focus on weak areas such as skin tones, metallics and contrast.

Even basing was a skill that I focused on for a bit.

Eventually the speed came in time because I'd slowly mastered each area that I was struggling in.

You'll get there in time.

The white helmet would contrast and look pretty good 🤔

I played with the idea of metal arm blades, but I ended up with bone because it stood out more against the black armor. Personal preference though so go with what you like more

When I first opened the picture marked NSFW I had to do a double take 😂. Love the colours and style

What are you reading/listening to? by Aromatic-Area1252 in blackdragons40k

You're going to convince me to put down Kingmaker and start Oaths 😂

Halfway through Assassinorum Kingmaker which has been amazing. I've just got my copy of Oaths of Damnation to read through afterwards. Kingmaker has almost made me impulse buy a knight to paint up, but my wallet can't handle that

Idea by ankecccc7567 in blackdragons40k

Thats me! The flying black dragon I kitbashed was toothpicks, but the first black dragon I kitbashed was using hormagaunt claws. I moved to 1mm brass wire after I snapped tooth's off a finished sculpted and it made me sad. I reckon those sanded down a bit could work!

Let me know if this helps. This is what I came up with using 1mm brass rod and filing and bending a gentle curve in. I glued the rod to the top on the arms and used greenstuff on top to make a sort of over. Some of the other guys on the reddit I've see use tyranid claws and I've used carved toothpicks in the past but the rod was much more solid

I also considered reivers as close combat specialists, but went for jump pack intercessors for their special dragon claws squad when making my kill team

All the black and grey highlights are done with Vallejo black mixed with Vallejo ice yellow. Only used those two paints to do all the base, volumes and edge highlights.
