Just thought I'd let you know, here's a quick technique for painting Taser Goads (Not taser goats). There isn't even a mention of applying two thin coats of paint. Standards are slipping, I tells ya! :p

 

 

Hopefully it will be useful for somebody, we've spoken about this effect a couple of times in the forum, this is the "official" way to do it. :)

I've noticed that the Warhammer TV tutorials don't always match the instructions provided with the model. Archaon's steed is a good example where sometimes different paints are used. I think the youtube videos are often slightly easier to achieve than the box art. There's a lot more drybrushing in many cases. They still produce good results so it's a good idea to watch them for good ideas. Specifically regarding the Taser tutorial, the gradient shading with nuln oil is a good idea, I shaded mine the same down the length of the taser equally. I might have to take that advice on board next time. :)

He videos aren't even worth watching anymore. It is he same rehashed garbage with such minimal effort. They claim it's answering people's questions, but I have to question the minds of people not capable of just figuring this stuff on their own because it is so mundane.

I still like them . . . :(

Seconded. I guess not everyone has the ultimate mastery of a skilled painter that you clearly do, dogfender!

 

I've found many of Duncan's tuts to be invaluable. The Custodes and Sisters ones especially.

Just a quick update, here's another tutorial for those that missed it, this time it's Electro Priest skin.

 

 

I'm quite surprised at the technique in this tutorial. I would have thought they started with a light blue for the skin. The glaze really makes a difference.

Agreed, this one is a hit for me.  Assuming they make Electro-priests worth a snot in 8th I may just be putting this to practice!  :)

Duncan's on a roll with Mechanicus painting guides!

I didn't include the video of the Galvanic Servohauler since it was a more general terrain video and not directly related to the Adeptus Mechanicus.

 

I hope these are going to be useful to people, I haven't painted any Ruststalkers so I might need to pay heed if I get round to painting some.

 

I personally would follow the box art a bit closer and start with a lighter blue closer to the handle personally, it seems quite a bit lighter than Kantor blue.

 

Where do I stand regarding this thread? Is it okay to post here specifically with Admech-themed videos, should the thread have a more general title? I just figured this could be helpful.

The taser video was a little under-whelming...However I'll remember the electro-priest one! 

 

It'll save me from just dipping things in silver and then adding Nuln Oil...

Leadbelcher and Nuln Oil goes with everything in AdMech. =P
