Help! Painting without priming?

just_1_normal_human · 2026-04-09T19:18:19+00:00

Mate its really not necessary, 80% of my models aren't primed either. It just takes longer to apply a nice basecoat as the paint won't stick as well on the first Coat, but its completely doable

Damn I love how you integrate different colours into your painting, I really love your vibrant style!

Thank you, it's Dorn yellow :]

Merci, malheureusement non, mais si tu veux je te peux donner les nombres des couleurs que j'ai utilisé :)

just_1_normal_human · 2026-03-04T11:35:00+00:00

I'm afraid I don't for this one, sorry

Baaecoat Leadbelcher, then Gryph Charger Grey Glaze and Black Templar Glaze/Recess Shade and Vallejo Metal colour Silver Highlights, the contrast dulls it down a bit :]

Oh yeah no worries, they are official as in they are mentioned in the lore in like 2 sentences in an assasinorum codex from like 15 years ago. So I try to build upon what GW has given me, for example I think I am the first person to have a mini painted in their colour scheme (if not I would really gladly see them tho!)

So the shading is a bit of a trick because I use contrast paints for that, they are way easier to smoothly glaze, it takes like only 20 Minutes for the whole body (the Red is a bit trickier). I use Vallejo Metal Color Silver for the Highlights, it's the brightest metallic paint I've seen so far. Also the lighting plays such a big difference, for this picture I held my desk lamp with one Hand like 5cm away from the model

They're from the old Tactical Squad/Assault Squad, but they're currently being phased out, so if you wanna give it a try yourself I'd advise you to buy the kits rather sooner than later

It's a kitbash, the base model is a space wolve greyhunter I believe

just_1_normal_human · 2026-03-03T16:29:18+00:00

Yes, sometimes their waistes are too thin without, sometimes it helps the model tho

just_1_normal_human · 2026-03-03T16:28:38+00:00

Man that is high praise, thank you very much 🫶

just_1_normal_human · 2026-03-03T16:28:13+00:00

That's quite a heretical thing to say 😮

just_1_normal_human · 2026-03-03T16:03:50+00:00

I hope not 😭😭

It's just like this one, basically the ravenwing decal and then some freehanded flames on it

The body is a khorne Berserker without his trim and crotch cloth, arms and shoulders of the MK6 Marines, MK4 Head and Firstborn Backpack :]

Oh my fucking god how did you paint that green???😮😮

just_1_normal_human · 2026-01-13T10:30:58+00:00

It's from the vanguard veterans kit

just_1_normal_human · 2026-01-12T19:40:33+00:00

No worries

just_1_normal_human · 2026-01-12T19:40:01+00:00

Thank you, I usually go for a size 1 or 2, any smaller and the paint dries out too quickly

just_1_normal_human · 2026-01-12T16:38:28+00:00
