Dear! :O
This took long. Already forgot this project.
There’s a link to the first part of this tutorial above, but here it is again, in case you missed it:
PAINTING AN IMPERIAL FIST DREADNOUGHT – PART 1
Well, there was all this cutlass week stuff, and so on… It’s been pretty hectic.
But, as they say, your regular program will be back on schedule shortly !
BoW Romain
Downloading for future reference – don’t care how it takes for them to appear Romain’s tutorials are worth their weight in gold 🙂
Thats shaping up nicely 🙂 im taking some pointers for my dust walkers 🙂 thx
Good tips on painting yellow, I always have problems with my yellows. Keep them coming!
Finally, a new Romain tutorial.. I like a the special coverage on Cutlass etc., but these tutorials is why I visit BoW. Keep ’em coming Romain!
Thank you all for your kindnesses… This wouldn’t have been possible without the expertise of video editor extraordinaire, @dignity !
BoW Romain
I gotta say man, you have a wonderful teaching voice! Your accent is class!
Thanks… That’s a bit of luck, because I’ve got little choice in the matter. It’s an accent from all over the places I’ve been to, I’m afraid, and I can’t be bothered to work to change it at my age. People seem to like it, and I make myself understood; I guess that’s what counts !
BoW Romain
You know there’s no sense acting british if you’re not. It just makes you sound funny. It’s much better to speak the way you do. This way pretty much everybody will understand you (be it British, American or any other person who doesn’t use english as his/hers mothertongue). I stopped trying to pretend any accent some time ago and am pretty happy with my ‘mid-atlantic english’ ;).
As far as the video is concerned: thumbs up Romain, beacuase you’re doing a great job!
I’m not doing it on purpose, that’s how I speak english !
I could speak with a thick Monty Python french accent, but honestly, it would bug me as much as it would you.
BoW Romain
I wasn’t trying to be offensive by any means:). I just wanted to say it’s cool you don’t try to sound like a Briton while you’re not. I know some people who try emulating the british accent and it usually sounds funny. It’s not the case with you. If it sounded the other way… Sorry. English is not my mothertoongue neither 😉
Don’t worry, I’m not offended ! 🙂
And your command of the language is excellent, by the way.

The mustard marines a defo my favorite out of the vanilla marine codex.
Brilliant tutorial as always Romain. There is something very soothing about your voice. It would be such a great voice for audiobooks… particularly A Feast for Crows from the Game of Thrones series… which i am finding rather tedious reading through. Keep up the great work!
Awesome, worth the wait. That bevel on the auto cannon arm is just brilliant.
A word of caution : It either takes an airbrush, or a lot of patience ! I think I spent over twenty minutes on that shoulder alone, just for the yellow.
And we’re not done… There’s more highlighting to be done.
BoW Romain
Perhaps a brighter undercoat may have helped speed up the painting, since yellow is more easily painted over a white undercoat (or with tau sept ochre GW foundation paint, which has a similar-ish hue to the sandy base coat you mixed). Or maybe with the highlighted undercoat you did, if there was more white sprayed on, you could base coat with yellow on the whiter areas and the purple/yellow shade on the darker areas; blending them in where they meet. However, for a one off display model that you really want to spend time on, then everything I said doesn’t… Read more »
Excellent comment ! I realize this isn’t the quickest method, but I wanted to show something generic enough about the color yellow that it could be used on everything… And besides, the whole Dreadought has been painted up to my “hero” standard in about three days. For a mini this size and the centerpiece of a force, it’s not too excessive… Or maybe I just say that because I like painting and don’t really mind… 🙂 That said, retrospectively, I would have sprayed black first, then my purple-yellow mix (or a similar color) then yellow… Effectively pre-shading yellow. That’s the… Read more »
Cheers Romain! 🙂 It depends on how you like to paint too; whichever way suits you is the best way to go. So, probably like most people, for the special minis I’ll take more time, and less time on the troopers. It is good to see vehicle types painted by hand as that’s how I painted my first (and as yet only) tanks years ago, since I was a kid and couldn’t afford an airbrush (I bought a cheap Aztek one years ago, but still can’t afford a compressor, then again, it is Christmas soon 🙂 ), but you get… Read more »
Holy cow, my reply is long again! Lol 🙂
its great, all the steps are awesome
