generalripphook Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 Hey, I would like to have a fully painted warhamster fantasy army or a fully painted army for that matter. However I am not that good at painting but we have such a wealth of amazing painters so I am asking for help. Can someone(s) help me learn how to paint. Even just advice and paint your own minis next to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathonicus Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 Eli, I am happy to help you learn how to paint. I will be at DTG next Tuesday with my Infinity, and I'm happy to bring my paints for some work between games. N 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
generalripphook Posted November 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 Cool, I'll play a quick game of saga and bring some mini's to start with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathonicus Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 Sounds like a plan. Bring an example of what you are shooting for - either a picture or painted mini. That will help a ton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VonVilkee Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 (edited) If you have some time read some basic color theory. Contrasting colors make things more interesting. I love the color purple andi learned some basics which is partly why I have those hazard stripes it is the yellow that really makes it striking on the purple and makes my force pop to an extent. Good color choice covers up allot of missing skill. My first army I thought it was amazing with black armor and tin bitz (dark brown metallic) and while my brush work was better than my current stuff it bearly looked painted. Learn from this, paint test models and stand 4 feet away from them before committing to a whole army paint scheme. Also try to picture how you will adapt the same basic color setup to bigger models as sometimes what looks good on an infantry man is totally unworkable on a tank or monster...

smashthedean Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 A long time ago Jim did a painting workshop where we all had test minis and he showed us different techniques and stuff. We were just talking last night about maybe doing another of these sometime in the future so you might be in luck! If anyone less busy than Jim who is good at painting (which excludes me) is interested in putting something on sooner, I think that would be super awesome too!

huggies01 Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 Eli just get the paint by number models. They are the easiest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
