wow this is awesome…well it would be if i could see the video. slow upload to serve maybe?
yea sorry i clicked on the wrong post
BoW Justin
well at least i was right, this is looking pretty awesome. Will watch part two for sure
You will notice this painting tutorial is pretty epic… That is because it is!
Thanks for this and Great job!
Oh and please if is possible, would you be able to paint any Nurgle-esque type stuff one day? I have seen a lot of tutorials out there for them but never a wet pallet one such as this and would really love to see how you would tackle something like that done in this style. 🙂
I doubt Romain will lol, he doesnt like GW models too much 😉
Nice guide Romain 🙂
For my loyal fans, I might !
I will admit that some of the GW models, mainly characters and heroes, are quite good indeed.
And Nurgle is a good opportunity to show one’s skills in blending, textures and disgusting shiny pustules !
BoW Romain
I like some figures a great deal, i assume Romain shares my thoughts re that firm.
Id love to see some more painting vids done as im sometimes a terror for to thick paint and brush destruction…thankfully im getting better each day.
Im glad to say that for over 2o yrs ive no longer painted with enamel..that stuff to thick was a nightmare and cleaning it up stank. A mate still loves Humbrol…yuck.
Enamel, well diluted, is very useful for metals… It gives a shiny finish, and there’s none of the usual graininess from most of the acrylic metal paints.
Of course, the key to using enamel is dilution, dilution, dilution… Even more so than regular acrylics !
BoW Romain
Very nice work.
Just a quick question to the BOW guys. Can one of the members make a 3 colors up video and post it in the painting section?
Are you asking us to post one… or can you post one?
Can I post one?
Geil!
Romain is back! 🙂
RfR (=Romain friggin´ Rules)
Awww… Thanks a bunch ! And thanks to everyone for your kind words. It never fails to warm my heart ! I’m just glad I can be useful and show off at the same time…
BoW Romain
Très beau Romain sa fait combien de temps que tu peins.
Si vous voulez savoir, c’est toute une histoire… J’ai peint ma première figurine quand j’étais petit, pour copier mon grand frère… A l’époque, j’avais utilisé de la gouache, c’était horrible ! Mais j’ai persévéré… Et je suis arrivé à peindre à peu près correctement à l’adolescence. Mes progrès furent lents. Il faut savoir qu’à l’époque, il n’y avait pas de communauté sur Internet, ni de tutoriels, ni de DVD… Et puis, je ne sais plus trop pourquoi, j’ai arrêté de peindre pendant dix ou quinze ans… J’ai eu envie de reprendre la peinture il y a quelques années, sérieusement, en… Read more »
Awsome tutorial looking forward to part 2
So Romain, now your our new painting god of BoW, when are you going to be inducted 3 Colours Up clan and paint…A STOMPER! John had too after all lol.
Seriously though I know I have a joke with the whole hating GW thing, but I do enjoy your vids 😉
No, no, your remark was spot on ! We must all strive to rise above pettiness.
The Stompa is a beautiful model, and I’m (for want of a better term) a size queen… I don’t think I’ll be painting space orks anytime soon, but you never know…
BoW Romain
How did you prime the model? it looks like you did a black primer and then a quick dash of white primer on top? any help would be awesome since I have never try that before.
In my first video (How to paint a Grey Knight Terminator, sadly unavailable at the moment) I showed how I primed the model… I work, whenever possible, with army painter spray… I forst apply a black basecoat. No GW black, as it’s not quite black for some cans… And the basecoat should remain thin, so as to hide the metal/plastic but not any details. Then, I spray slightly on the top angles of the mini (or whatever angles the light falls upon it) with a grey primer (any neutral grey you can find). It should be fine, maybe even grainy,… Read more »
It helps a lot im going to give it a try with my Lady justice from malifaux. Ill put a pic up once im done on the minirama page! Thanks a lot for you help.
You’re welcome ! Lady Justice is a beautiful piece. I’m eager to see what you come up with !
BoW Romain
what brushes was Romain using in the video? they looked really good quality.
In this video, I used Kolinsky sable brushes (real artists’ brushes) as well as Prince August brushes (top quality miniature painting brushes). You can’t beat real sable ! If you take care of them, you can use them for years. Arguably, the best ones (and most expensive) are from Raphael, but it’s “overkill” for some minis… The worst brushes on the market are GW’s synthetic brushes (and I’m not saying this out of spite for them, they’re really only a few steps over a toothbrush). I use number 1, number 0, and number 000 brushes, sometimes other sizes (I show… Read more »
ah right sounds interesting.
Would it be possible for you to send me link to a web site which sells these types of brushes please?
I am always keep to try out new materials/ equipment/ techniques etc…
@thunderbolt, here are a few links for you… I hope you find what you need. There’s no susbtitute for going into an artists supply store and picking the brush you need, but you can trust Prince August, Raphael and Windsor & Newton as brands, so you won’t be disappointed with the quality ! I use everything from 2 to 3/0, even 5/0 sometimes, but not that often. Some of the Raphael brushes are sold at Secret Weapon… They know the good stuff ! http://www.secretweaponminiatures.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=29&zenid=vh2m6frb1db11sobbeguf218q4 Windsor and Newton, excellent brushes : http://www.winsornewton.com/products/brushes/for-acrylic-colour/ The best, hand made Raphael brushes : http://www.raphael.fr/en/home.php For… Read more »
cheers dude, you’re a legend!
I will have to check them out!

Sam (Thunderbolt)
An excellent video, thank you Romain once again.
When is part 2 coming!
Yet to get past ten minutes Romain
and now the second part is out too!
For some reason when seeing you paint , just have to stop watching and go and work in my little studio because I get really motivated!
Hope that is a good reason not to have seen the vid!
I will make it to the end of the 2nd video, it just might take a while! lol
Next time, I’ll just have to be brief, then…
BoW Romain
Hi,
You mentioned glazes and washes first in Part 1. Can you describe the different uses for a glaze compared to a wash and how to make them?
Thanks!
@varagon, The limit between a glaze and a wash is thin indeed… A wash is when you dilute your paint (with painting medium or water, but mostly water) and apply that mix in the creases of your miniature, or upon a surface, so that the pigments will pool into the recesses and the creases of the miniature, thus creating shadows and enhancing details. You can have it thin or not… Depending on what you need. A number of companies (such as GW) offer pre-mixed washes instead of simple paint. This is good for beginners, but it shouldn’t prevent you from… Read more »
