  A Quick and Dirty Guide to Painting First thing to get out of the way is that I consider myself to be the world's most OK miniature painter. I've been doing this for nearly 30 years and, rather than having accumulated skill, I have merely gained knowledge of tips and tricks that professional painters would scoff at and call "cheating". So, if you want good results but don't have a burning desire for your miniatures to look like the Mona Lisa, then buckle in. Step 1 The first thing I do, after giving the miniature a quick clean in warm soapy water to get rid of any release agents from the manufacturing process, is prime with a matt black spray. I use Colour Forge, but any matt black will do, except Citadel sprays because 1. Citadel don't use matts, they use satin finishes and 2. Citadel products are seriously overpriced because most people in the hobby don't even realise there are cheaper options out there with better quality. Once the primer is dry, I gi...

  Instead of starting these posts with an almost unpainted version, maybe I should put the finished model front and centre and show how we get here? Step 1 As always, prime matt black then brush on the areas the spray missed Step 2 Two thin coats of Tanned Flesh from Army Painter   Step 3 Give the flesh a wash with Soft Skin Wash   Step 4 Highlight with Tanned Flesh, leaving the deepest recesses alone   Step 5 Highlight the skin further with Dorado Skin from Army painter, making sure to leave recesses alone and be sure to emphasise the abs with the highlight   Step 6 Paint the hair using two thin coats of Vallejo Game Colour Bonewhite   Step 7 Give the hair a light wash with Cassandora Yellow   Step 8 Once the wash has dried, return to the Bonewhite and carefully drybrush the hair. This will leave a dusty residue of the Bonewhite on the highest parts of the hair, bringing it back down to the original colour a bit, while leaving the wash in the deepest ...

 With the first of the girls done, it's time to move onto the next. Again, we're going more for "high tabletop" quality than anything else.   Step 1 First step is the same as always, prime with a matt black spray and cover up the parts you missed by brushing on a matt black. Boring but necessary step of the process. Step 2 For this girl, we're going to use two thin coats of Jasper Skin from the Army Painter. It'll still look a bit translucent, but that's fine because future layers will cover that up.   Step 3 She looks a bit red at this point, so we're going to darken this down with a wash of Dark Skin Wash from the Army Painter, once it's dried she'll look a bit more natural. Step 4 With the skin tinted and some deep tones in the recesses, we want to make the raised areas lighter by applying a highlight layer using Jasper Skin.   Step 5 With the skin done, we move onto the hair next. For this, I used a layer of Vallejo Game Colour Extra Opaque...
