This here Warhammer Tone Pro paints landed on my doorstep care of Games Workshop. Now to go see what happens when someone who has put his entirely hobby mind and alchemical predilections (read as: would be Madcap Chemist) into Contrast paints tries to paint with these. #WarhammerTonePro #Ad #AdWIP

Final photo dump of my first ever @trenchcrusade.bsky.socia warband! I had a lot of fun building and painting these bad boys. I'm hoping for more expansion kits for them soon! 🤞 #trenchcrusade Video if you're interested: youtu.be/nslW-WfvA98

Before I assembled the Silent King Szarekh I painted patterns on the inside of the cloak of his cloak, many of them are not visible anymore, but I wanted to know that they are there 🙂 It’s a part of the tutorial series from my patreon about painting Szarekh miniature #warhammer #warhammer40k

They're a goofy-looking thing, like someone sprayed a crap Dalek green, but the M3 Lee/Grant were a fairly formidable weapon when they arrived in the western desert and when dueling with Japanese armour in Burma. Still, I'd rather be in a Sherman! #jhbackdrops

A super early start on my banner for my chaos lord on steed. It's going to need a lot more detail and refinement. There won't be much black background left when I'm finished either. #oldworld #artisopusltd #PaintingWarhammer #WarhammerCommunity #chaoswarriors

Working on a Propagandist for my Inquisimunda campaign, and I had to make sure he had an efficient and venerable information network on his TV screens...

Finished my Necromunda market terrain. This will help bring our encounters to life for the Inquisimunda campaign. As an added touch I made one of the stalls red and white striped, matching the town market where I grew up.
Some Necromunda market terrain, consisting of several stores of different sizes, covered by tatty pieces of canvas of dif shapes, colours, and sizes.

Okay got the fur parts shaded with a wash and purple seems the best for the armor. A few more base coats (gold parts for one) to lock in, shade wash, then the detail work.

Sci-fi knights are a style I quite like, which is why it was a go-to for my recent electro-priest alternative I've made a few different miscellaneous minis in that vein, even outside of my black templars, for things like knight pilots, skitarii and a unique sister of battle

I've learned more about how I actually like to paint with these two figures than I have done in an age. Really knuckling in and playing with mixes, texture, different highlighting methods and materials... Can't recommend enough just grabbing some paints and doing something utterly for its own sake!

One of the fun parts of experimenting with a new range of paints is making swatches. @thearmypainter.bsky.social's Volume 3 and 4 of the John Blanche Masterclass range run cool and warm respectively, with the first two releases on the right sheet. Hmm... What to paint, what to paint?
