Fighting the Gray Tide (Miniature Painting)

[Olgar Shiverstone]

Painting Warhammer Quest: Darkwater right now, which was a Christmas gift from the spouse. Great game and beautiful sculpts. Six models left to go ...

First time using a water effect on a base (it a cleer Vallejo texture paste). Over some olive/greenish base paint it does a good job of swampy water.

Close up. I le suck.

Painting for tabletop and painting for display are literally two different techniques - the first is meant to be viewed from three or more feet away which means that up close it won't look right, while the second is meant to be viewed while held in the hand or photographed up close, which means that all that awesome detail can't be seen from more than a few feet away...

I’ve been on a painting break for a bit. This is the Mysterious Stranger from Fallout.

How do you get the colour effect on the trenchcoat? Drybrush or speedpaint?

I started out with a tan basecoat. I mixed that tan with some Vallejo Japanese Uniform (Japanese WWII uniform color) and put on two more layers. I used some Citadel Darkoath Contrast paint diluted for a wash. Then I used a mix of Japanese Uniform and Vallejo Dark Sand. (Dark Sand is actually looks somewhat white with a brownish tinge.) I then applied two glazes of Japanese Uniform.
