appiah4 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Is this thing worth getting? I'm tempted, but I'm not sure if it will really be worth it as I've been painting red and black for about 15 years now.. I'd mostly be interested in it if it has anything really worthwhile on things like painting white armor (Sanguinary Priests) and red vehicles.. If anyone could point me to a useful review I'd be grateful. I don't want to obtain it via illegal means just go get an idea of what's in it. The GW Store Page ever so helpfully fails to include even a table of contents preview. Thanks for nothing once again, GW. Also, has this book always been available only in softback? Was there ever a hardback release? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedemptionNL Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 I'd say it's not worth it. There are so many tutorials freely available online and these books usually only show which brush and colour to use, little more. And if you're looking for how to paint white armour: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Son of Carnelian Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Uh, I really love it. I've folliowed its instructions for my burgeoning Blood Angel force and it has really given the whole thing a nice unified look. The background sections don't do anything for me, though. I would have liked more campaign markings and other ideas for personalizing your force. Honestly, there are guides online, but they're not nearly as comprehensive as GW I've found.

Charlo Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 It's very nice in terms of techniques and examples. I wouldn't pay for it though... Maybe ask a friend to borrow thier copy... Digitally. One might say, from one peer to another... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xenith Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 As with SoC, I really like it. I adopted the red method for my BA and it's fast and looks good - you can see the results on my terms. It has painting methods for black armour, white priests (more off-white...ceramic/bone?), red armour, and the sand bases that the 1st co are on in exterminatus. Also blue armoured librarians, dreads, gems, lenses, etc. You can find all of this online, and it has all been shown in white dwarfs before, but I like it. I did get it cheap, though. I don't know if I'd pay full RRP for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
