How I paint - Chaos Daemons - Flesh hounds of Khorne

Image
How I Paint Fleshhounds of Khorne The Flesh Hounds of Khorne are crimson-hued, half-canine, half-reptilian hunting beasts. Their blank white eyes sit beneath heavy brows, and their slavering mouths are filled with razor-sharp fangs. They have blood-matted hair running down their backs and across their shoulders, and around their necks hang great brazen collars, said to be forged at Khorne’s feet.

Hobby Goals - January 2024

Image
  Happy New Year, and thank you for joining me at the start of 2024. My hobby goals remain similar to last year: Paint more miniatures than I buy in a month. Do not buy any miniatures in a month (I intend to only buy Warhammer Underworlds miniatures this year). Finish painting all the remaining Warhammer Underworlds warbands. January arrived, and there were no miniatures I wanted to buy this month. I had bought Daggok Stab-Ladz on pre-order last month, so they were accounted for in December. I could immediately tick off ' Do not buy any miniatures in January .' Any miniatures painted this month will reduce my pile of shame. To be fair, I have been reducing my pile of unpainted plastic for the last two years. Towards the end of December, I had started painting Da Kunnin' Krew. At the start of January, I continued with Da' Kunnin Krew, finishing the remaining three miniatures: Mannok, Torka Tuffskul, and Krookgrin. A fortnight into the new year, I completed this warband, ...

How to Paint Wooden Planks for Warhammer Terrain

Image
How to Paint Wooden Planks for Warhammer Terrain I have really enjoyed painting the Azyrite Ruins and other terrain features for Warcry and the Age of Sigmar. I am beginning to amass a good range of pieces.  Having finished the stonework on these structures, the next next large sections to paint were the wooden planks that make up the broken floors and of course the bell tower. New to painting Warhammer Miniatures → Start here: Warhammer Painting Made Simple For other miniature painting guides → Faction Painting Hubs I wanted the wood to be a different colour from the stone but equally to appear as though it did belong in the ruins. I intended to basecoat the 'wood' with grey before shifting its hue with browns and then finishing it off with greens. I recently did an update of this method. I did not like the glossy look of the contrast paint. So I have experimented a little to change the paints I have used. The update is in blue . Paints required: Skavenblight Dinge Wyldwood A...

How to Paint Stone Terrain for Warhammer

Image
How to Paint Stone Terrain for Warhammer In this guide, I will show you how to paint stone terrain for Warhammer quickly and effectively using simple drybrushing and washes. This method is ideal for creating realistic stone, weathering effects, and subtle colour variation with minimal effort. New to painting Warhammer Miniatures → Start here: Warhammer Painting Made Simple For other miniature painting guides → Faction Painting Hubs Paints required: Mechanicum Standard Grey Dawnstone Administratum Grey Athonian Camoshade Elysian Green Karak Stone Screaming Skull Agrax Earthshade (optional) Seraphim Sepia (optional) Nuln Oil (optional) Grey Seer (optional) Step 1 – Undercoat and Base Drybrush The terrain was first undercoated with Chaos Black . Once dry, the entire piece was drybrushed with Mechanicum Standard Grey using a large, round-ended brush. I tend to use a make-up brush for this, as it allows for quick coverage and a soft finish. When drybrushing, use a circular motion and focus...
