Hey guys this is my short and sweet black tutorial. It works on power armour as well as cloth. Spray the model Chaos Black first With these models I was worried about resin so they got a washing up liquid soak, rinse, and dried in a towel. You could also spray them lightly with varnish too to be extra careful. I did not take a picture of a model just primed black as well as know what these look like.

 

Here we have Maester Amon showing off the Winter collection of Castle Black.

I applied the same treatment to all the characters from the army set:

So, yeah, thats it. I mean, I could add in more stages and tell you all about them but this is quick, effective and looks good. Also, black is hard and not all of us own an airbrush for that zenith zenithal stuff. Im an army painter moreso than a miniature painter, so when done together they will look great.

 

Hope you all enjoyed the mini-tutorial.

Entry 1: Ghost 02/03/20

Ghost was a joy and quickly. It was primed Halfords Grey, basecaoted Mechanicus Standard Grey and drybrushed and washed and drybrushed again progressively through various greys up to white, while the eyes were pure white with two thin coats of Army Painter Red Tone.

So a small start which is the polar opposite of the primary army colour. I’m going to be tackling the characters in a batch until their basecoats are down and then I will finish them individually: one at a time. While I will post pics of them as a work in progress I will probably do a tutorial of my movement trays beforehand. Which… is… next.
