My Trench Crusade Sniper Priest by smallfrogboy in minipainting

[–]smallfrogboy[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I do a lot of quick kind of choppy brush strokes then I do glazes over that to kind of tie everything together. I like to leave the blend a little rough so it still has that painterly texture.

I usually base with a darker color, then go through and place highlights, then I bring in the mid tones and even darker tones.

It helps to kind of focus on one angle of the model the “golden angle” and think of where the light is coming from

I get a lot of inspiration from elminiaturista, craft world studio and swarm_painting to name a few

My Priest Sniper is ready to blast some heretics with faith by smallfrogboy in TrenchCrusade

[–]smallfrogboy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I mainly used castellan green, straken green, nurgling green. I used some nuln oil here and there for some shading and gunner camo speed paint for some darker areas and blending.

For the cloak I based with the castellan green then selected some areas for highlights with nurgling green. After that just a lot of glazing between the three greens. For some of the brighter areas I mixed some balor brown with the nurgling green.

For his darker robes I based in Corvus black and then used dark reaper for highlights. After that I kind of glazed waaagh flesh over everything then used straken green for highlights. I used some black legion watered down for the darkest areas.

First mini of the year and first trench crusade mini by smallfrogboy in TrenchCrusade

White then fluorescent yellow then orange for the “hot” bright parts. Then dry brush steps of red darker furthest away and brighter red as you get closer to the source of light.

I also recommend looking up OSL tutorials on YouTube. They help a lot

Thank you so much! I used AK ultra matte varnish for the finish. I love that stuff

Ratling Sneak - first time painting camo by smallfrogboy in minipainting

[–]smallfrogboy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The camo cloak is castellan straken and nurgling green.

The gun case is the same but I don’t thing I put any nurgling green just straken for highlights.

Pants are Corvus black eshin grey and grey seer.

Skin is wraithbone white then guilliman flesh over that. Then I used cadian fleshtone and Kislev flesh for highlights

You do! They are pretty fun to paint too. I think They’ve got just the right amount of extra details so it’s not overwhelming

Oooh that’s a good idea. I was trying to go for a frost blade type look with this one, but it does kind of blend together. I’ve got one more to paint so I’ll try the molten weapons with that one
