Muskie Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 You know what they say about people who live in glass houses... Anyway red isn't that easy of color to paint, but it is easier than yellow. You can go red right on top of black, but you're almost better off having brown under it. I'm a big wash and glaze man myself. I sometimes refuse to go to orange, trying to stay with just red for my highlights. Lots and lots of layers of red gore can do this. After orange their is yellow of course and that can look good sometimes, you can even go with orange and wash it red. I plan to do more fooling around with the new washes and red cause I'm doing up more orks. You didn't seem to fond of my red in the Hakanor's Reavers tutorial, but I used a totally different red in the next tutorial I did, because I'm trying to teach people how to paint better. Check out this red. I'm not sure how much detail I went into, but there is more on the Waaagh, but pics of the Nob I did for the contest is here... Particularly check out the flames, the pants, and the belt buckle. That shows a nice clean, classic flame technique, the dirty red you get with the new washes over black, and of course an orange even yellow Evil Sunz symbol.

philbrad Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Very good work for a novice, paint is nicely layered and the brushwork is tidy. Could I suggest adding a brown wash over the red and gold to tone them down. Not a big fan of 'shiney' paintwork, a wash will help blend the tones on the mini as well as giving you some shading in the recesses. I wouldn't use devlan mud, its a bit too dark but ogryn flesh or grphonne serpia should give you some nice tones. I'd advise going over the bare metal pieces (chains/chain axe/bolt pistol) with a black wash to similarly shade them. I like the grittier look of the second WE better much darker. Great aged/rusted effect on the champs sword. Great work, keep practising, if you decide to shade you can also start looking at countering some of this with highlights.

Atilak Posted November 8, 2008 Author Share Posted November 8, 2008 2 Muskie... Seriously I dont get it... I check your tutorial and I dont like your red for use it to khorne. No offence, just opinion. 2PhilB: Second WE is more washed. Wanna to look him older (more fights) :down: And all the colors you see are much darker at real. Everyone who see pictures first and then real mini told me that the red is a lot better. Look to red on pics :) I painted other one.. Im pretty confident right now how the minis looks like.. I just wanna finish my first army and start playing :) Thats my focus right know.. Get better mechanic to my hand and speed it up a little. http://img3.rajce.idnes.cz/d6/1/1329/1329016_50fda1048d1683c60dd1c50b952cde6f/images/08112008731.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/150874-my-first-miniatures-continue/page/2/#findComment-1765070 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muskie Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 It's not a Khorne figure, what it is, is a good way to paint red, more sophisticated then foundation red over black washed brown. It has a glaze, plus lowlights and highlights techniques. Lots of people are using the new washes or the black base coat to do lowlights, but you can paint them just like you do highlights, blending down instead of up from the midtone/basecoat. If you want to paint better instead of just faster, there are a number of techniques. Check out the Megmatrax or however it is spelled tutorial. It uses a glaze technique, similar to the loads of thin coats of red gore I was referring to. If I were to paint Khorne troops and my paint pots weren't dried out, I'd do a tonne of thin coats of old old Blood Red with a few washes and glazes plus some red gore. No orange, no yellow, definitely no white... I almost never highlight up to white. I can't find a picture of the models I did like this, but they are home on a shelf...

Mordus Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Definitely...incredible. Seriously, despite what you might say, unless you happen to be a tactical genius...your talent is in painting. My first painted minis were...horrible. Yours look as if youve been painting for quite a while. Plus, you stuck to a proper color scheme, which many first timers dont. Ive seen bright orange orks with green metal and gold cloth...and its all smeared...and some plastic bits..UGH. Seriously though. YOU. HAVE. TALENT. Now convert up an uber-gnarly Khorne Daemon Prince and whip out some real BLOODLETTING! :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/150874-my-first-miniatures-continue/page/2/#findComment-1816949 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitchell93 Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Maby having the skulls bleeched bone or white will lighten up the models better than grey and skull tend not to be grey. I'm not inulting your painting skills they are much better than when I started and now after i have been painting on and of for about 5 years.
