How to paint - Imperial Guard infantry tutorial

Time for more flashbacks from Minions. Today we would like to show you a tutorial by Kosa.

It is a simple way of painting IG infantry using the airbrush. I think that even in the 40th millennium soldiers have not paraded in colorful uniforms, and therefore my army is painted in muted colors - browns and greens.

1. The first thing we do is cut out figures of the frames and clean them. Then we assemble them paying attention to give a different look to each soldier. We put our prime colour Camo Green using airbrush. I decided that my soldiers will wear forest camouflage uniforms, so on the green prime we put randomly brown spots (here Snakebite Leather).

2. After drying, we change the paint's colour to Catachan Green and again we put random spots of dark green.

3. The minis seem to be too uniform now, so we add more contrast by painting the weapons with dark green (Catachan Green) and other details with the colors that could be an opposition to large amount of bright colours. We paint belts and equipement's suspenders with Scorched Brown, holsters and amunition pouches with Bestial Brown.

4. We paint the soldiers' skin with Elf Flesh taking care not to paint over the already painted uniforms. We choose Goblin Green for the grenades and Scorched Brown for the shoes. We finish the metal parts (belt buckles, grenades' pins, weapons parts and bayonets) with Boltgun Metal. It is important to carefully paint the Empire signs and imperial eagles with Skull White.

5. A very important step is to put washes - we cover the skin of guardsmen with Ogryn Flesh while the rest of the mini (avoiding precisely the skin) with Badab Black.

6. Choosing the method of finishing the bases is a question of a personal taste. I choose the tone which directly matches the painted soldiers. Like usual, I used glue, sand and electrostatic autumn grass.

Glowing skull eyes Tutorial

Morning Ladies and Gents.

     After my release of the Hexwraiths some of you asked me about those glowing eyes on the champion. So I decided to make a tutorial about how I did that. I'm not saying that my way is the best or even correct for that matter. If you want to try painting it the way I did then you need to follow these steps.

1. First you need to paint your skull. I mean everything from the jaw to the tip, get all the highlights done etc. Painting the glow effect of eye sockets will be the final touch. It's preferred that the skull is not pure "skull white" so the light will be more noticeable to the viewer.


2. Paint the holes pure white. Don't overextend too much from the sockets' edges.  Just fill it white. For this I used Skull White.


3. Prepare a mix of Skull White and Sunburst Yellow 1:1. Paint it around the edges of the holes .


4. At this point you need to give your skull some green glasses :) Mix Sunburst Yellow with Dark Angels Green 3:1 and  paint the high areas around the sockets. Fuse them together to create a type of swimming goggles. The important part is to leave the yellow showing and don't get any paint in the holes!


5.We are almost done. Now take some Sunburst Yellow and drybrush the line between the green areas and the brighter yellow at the inner edges. The dry brush must be smooth and not to thick. You can cover most of the green area but it must be visible through the yellow paint.


6. Now repeat the same thing from step 5. but at the outer edges of the green highlight. You can extend the final highlight to the forehead but you need to figure out what works best with your particular model.


   

 This is my end result

Summary:
     I'm pleased with the effect but remember there is always room for improvement. I think you can use this technique with a different paint combinations:

Green Glow     Skull White    Sunburst Yellow   Dark Angels Green
Blue Glow        Skull White    Ice Blue                Enchanted Blue
Red Glow         Skull White    Blazing Orange    Blood Red
Purple Glow    Skull White    Tentacle Pink        Liche Purple

When it comes to those other sets of paints, I haven't tested them but you need to watch out at step 4 and mix it differently. Change the ratio from 3:1 to 1:1.

     I hope that this tutorial will help. Oh and sorry for the low quality skull, it's a fast gimp mouse sketch ;p. Would love to see what you guys will come up with. If you do, it would be awesome if you leave a link down in the comments. Cheers!
