A blog for Warhammer miniature painting. This will contain step-by-step guides with painting tutorials of miniatures for tabletop gaming, as well as pictures of my progress on painting my warhammer armies and miniatures.
I have also begun painting my chunk of Empire State Troopers. I have a pile of already assembled troops. They have been assembled with spears and swords.. A bit unfortunate as i need them with Halberds. but i will paint them anyway.
This is the first test model i have painted and i will make a painting guide once i begin with my second model:
This blogpost is to show the progress of my greatswords unit as i finish the models.
It might take a while, but i promise to keep you updates as i make progress.
This is some of the pictures (i will update as i make progress)
The mini in the front to the far right, is a miniature bought in the mid 80's. Eventhough he has a different pose than the others, i will still add him for old times sake :)
I still haven't decided what to paint on the small yellow shields of their armor, but i might follow the suggestion made by Jack Wainhouse on my Stirland Greatswords painting video, were his suggestion was to paint some sort of eagles.
I found these eagles on the internet, which i might go for
I have a lot of Empire troops to paint as well. This first miniature is taken from a unit of Greatswords I have. all unpainted of course. Why I decided to paint this miniature, I don't know, but I really liked how he turned out. As all my upcoming empire troops, he is from Stirland making his primary colours Yellow and green.
Why Stirland colours? Before I had read anything about the Empire countries and their colour schemes, I had already painted up some plain foot soldiers with yellow and green. So when finding out that they used same colours scheme in Stirland, naturally I continued with this.
I decided to undercoat the miniature with Skull White. Maybe next time I will try to undercoat with Chaos Black since a lot of this miniature is armour, which needs to be black anyways.
I used the following colors as extreme highlights and edge highlights for this miniature:
Metal: Runefang Steel
Feather:& Warpstone Glow with White Scar added to it
Yellow:& Yriel Yellow with White Scar added to it
Flesh: & Bestigor Flesh with White Scar added to it.
Reds: Troll Slayer Orange
Hair: & Zandri Dust with White Scar added to it
Hat: Zandri Dust
Pouch: & Zandri Dust with White Scar added to it
Belt: Zandri Dust
Gold: Runefang Steel
