Hello, I would like to present you with the Staining Cloth Miniature Painting Tutorial. Staining Cloth Miniature Painting Tutorial – Introduction. For this tutorial I am going to go over staining using a model that has been primed with Zanduri Dust by Citadel. You could just as easily use any type of light brown primer. For the base coat, I used Liche Purple also by Citadel. In fact all paints are Citadel unless stated otherwise. Then I added a little bit of Abbadon Black to equal parts of Liche Purple. I used this mix to shade the recesses to give

INTRODUCTION Creating Corrosive Textures on our miniatures does not need to be super difficult. A relatively quick and easy technique can produce additional visual interest to your miniatures. This is a step by step practical approach. Not so much about the painting aspect of corroded armour but how I get the texture of the corrosion. I am beginning with just a Green base coat on this particular example. I go no further with highlights or shadows, just focusing on the corrosion. The first step in creating corrosive textures is to map out the shape of the corrosion. I use a

INTRODUCTION Hey everyone, this is my first post at figurementors since I joined the team. And I am a little scared. So, I wanted to show from the off what I love doing, painting and weathering units of beasts, robots and warriors. In my first post, I will show you how to paint Necrons, supported with images. So hopefully, you can clearly see what I am doing. You know I love Necrons and therefore I thought it would be a cool starting point for me.

INTRODUCTION – Converting a 75mm Fantasy Figure For some time I’ve wanted to paint a figure based on an online show I enjoy, Critical Role and that means the need for converting a 75mm fantasy figure. However, for those of you not familiar it’s a show ‘where a bunch of nerdy-ass voice actors sit around and play Dungeons & Dragons.’ Might sound like an odd premise for a show, but this past year they also kickstarted their own animated series which the critter community helped to become the highest funded film or television project in Kickstarter history. So, it’s got

SCALECOLOR ARTIST Acrylic Paints – A Review I don’t think anyone that’s active in our community and on Facebook has failed to notice Scale75’s Kickstarter campaign for their new line of paints, the ScaleColor Artist acrylic paints.

I’ve been experimenting with using traditional artist acrylic paint for miniatures for a while, but I’ve had trouble finding a brand that worked for me and these paints sounded like a middle ground between the specialised paint for miniatures and Artist paint. So, after some calculations, I decided to go

There seems to be no let up in the amount of work, effort and investment in keeping the site and the magazines going. The team aren’t looking for sympathy lol but sometimes it feels that it is a hard slog. Every day life, mental health, work and family all need to be balanced to keep everything afloat. We had been wanting to update our site for some time, but where to start, what did we want to achieve and how did
