Awesome one – really good to finally know a effective way of doing white cloth on a miniature. Always struggled with it on my Inquisitor models.
What’s also awesome, for me personally, is that I’m building some of these minis at the moment, which is an awesome coincidence! 🙂 I’ll add one more awesome for luck and because of how awesome the videos are. After 3… 3, 2, 1, Awesome! 😛
Thank you @brennon and @majordutch !
This is just a quick tutorial, of course, I didn’t exactly put much effort in the blending, but it offers a tried a true method.
I must say I have been converted somewhat to the use of SOME synthetic brushes… I will explain myself in articles to come !

Cheers Romain!
I’ve yet to try out a Windsor & Newton Series 7 Kolinsky Sable size 00 brush I got a little while ago-might get a couple more sizes if the hairs stay in place and it keeps it’s point (it had better do for the price I paid lol).
Looking forward to more brush and paint reviews and saving dosh from with your tips:)
Hey, if anyone wants some inspiration for their Dark Angels minis, here’s a youtuber’s who has an interesting alternative way for painting white robes as well as ideas for modelling Dark Angels minis; have a look at JudgeGudge’s channel and his how to vids: http://www.youtube.com/user/JudgeGudge#p/u/31/BQkg0oyCzXI
And there’s a new buncha guys on youtube who are offering a painting service called Worthy Painting who has some Pre-Heresy Dark Angels with plenty of robed minis to see here: http://www.youtube.com/user/WorthyPAINTING#p/u/1/6ZvFCBB_ktY
These minis are fantastic, well worth a look. 🙂
nice would goe nice on french infantry
Exelent, always a joy to watch – I been looking forward to this since you started the tips series
Romain, with this closeup camera, would you showcase a model that has already been painted to a golden deamon type level and show what makes it that quality?
This requires reflexion…
And a “GD standard” painted miniature.

Romain….There is one aspect of painting miniatures that intrigues me…… the use of non metallic paint for armour and weapons. Perhaps you could do an article on this subject and the technique behind it?
My take-aways are: 1. base coat with a middle tone, let dry; 2. shadow recesses with a bit darker tone; 3. highlight with a lighter tone (not pure white); 4. blend from light to dark and dark to light smoothing the transitions to the middle tone to ensure that there are no sharp transitions. Water thinned paints will allow layering and blending. Do you use any flow enhancer in the water? Is tap water fine or do you need distilled water? How will this work with grey green, blue grey or brown grey? Seems like it will. I would like… Read more »
Just started repainting a large part of an ‘unfinished’ miniature using this technique. So dar it has improved dramatically and giving a good contrast to the Cold white I have been using on the armour. Romain, you look so young in this video! 😀
