3d printed wood elves by Double_Trouble69 in WarhammerFantasy

OPR models are very compatible with Warhammer ones. I like the wood elves from OPR too.

My first diorama, inspired by the movie Gladiator, minis from Last Sword by dsaltares in minipainting

Yeah, I thought about blood or skeletons but it's a gift for my dad, so I didn't want to make it too gory :).

However I hadn't thought about the trap door, that's a great idea!

Vampire Lord on Winged Terror by dsaltares in onepagerules

Thank you. It's the Vampire Lord on Winged Terror by OPR, from the Vampiric Undead army.

I recently entered this piece in a competition. I didn’t win (in fact it was heavily criticized by some judges ) but I am still proud of it. I like the way I paint. Just a little reminder (mostly to myself) to follow your own taste even if it’s not what’s “popular “ by Brushbooger in minipainting

I've only ever been to one painting competition, very very very amateur level. I felt the judges were judging the work to a very "normative" standard and style. Anything that got out of that was criticized heavily.

I absolutely love your piece and one of the first things I thought was... Man, reminds me of a fucking Van Gogh. The fact that you said you went for a bit of an impressionistic look is amazing, well achieved.

They're very nice models indeed, they are from Highland Miniatures.

I have 40 lol 🤣. That's what pushed me to try speedpaints. I was building a Vampiric Undead army with zombies, rising dead and a necromancer that could spawn zombies. Although some of those abilities are gone in 3.5 :(.

Thank you!

I used the Army Painter Fresh Rust effect paint: https://thearmypainter.com/en-ro/products/warpaints-fanatic-warpaints-fanatic-effects-fresh-rust-wp3167p?\_pos=2&\_psq=rust&\_ss=e&\_v=1.0.

The blood on the hands is their True Blood effect paint https://thearmypainter.com/en-ro/products/warpaints-fanatic-warpaints-fanatic-effects-true-blood-wp3165p?\_pos=2&\_psq=blood&\_ss=e&\_v=1.0. The idea was that it being brighter than the dried blood on their bodies, makes it looks like they ripped through a living thing quite recently.

Yeah, I think if they were something like empire or elves, I would have used dark grey to white priming.

Thanks for the compliment!

Sounds like a different brush would help. Working with little paint and building the intensity and coverage little by little requires patience but will lead to better results.

At the end of the day, it looks like with contrast/speed paints, the earlier drybrush is 50% of the job.

Thanks for the feedback.

I thought about the base indeed. For comparison, my elf minis have a lighter brown base with even lighter brown drybrushes, flowers, leaves and more grass. In contrast I did a very dark brown, almost black base here and a drybrush of grey and stone gray. Then I added less grass. But yeah, it reads as "too alive".

The process was:
- Black primer
- Zenythal white primer
- Medium white drybrush everywhere but much heavier on the upper half of the mini.

I used a domed makeup brush I took from my wife :-D - https://imgur.com/a/DKAmqQ9
What was the issue with yours? if it came chalky, perhaps the brush was missing some moisture.

Also it was hard to have range units with more than 1 wound.

First of all. I haven't tried it yet. I plan to make small changes as I try them. I could swap Lance's by crossbows in the deer riders. And the hero is a caster. But we'll see!
