#Army painter quickshade splash pro
Of course, it’s not a pro paint job, it’s a 10 minute paint job. Ten minutes (and 24 hrs drying time) later….
After this experiment I believe, though, that the final result comes cheaper, faster and just as good as Contrast Painting them.
Unfortunately these Space Marines cost 4 euro per miniature, so speedpainting them feels like heresy, even a Horus Heresy. Make sure the varnish is quite thin (stir well, use white spirit if very thick, the varnish can dry up and thicken in the tin) and splash it on the miniature. A before-the dip-pre-highlight is a very effective and simple way to accentuate a model, faster than post-highlighting after the varnish and then re-varnishing it. I finished with a dot of Army Painter Pure Red on the top of the helmet and right shoulder pad, and a few other exposed area’s. Gold for the coronavirus face mask looks fantastic! 🙂 The trick of speedpainting is that you limit your palette. I painted the emblem dark grey, the gun and the left shoulder pad simple silver, and I added a few gold accents. Deep recesses remain black with this method. I sprayed the body of the miniature lightly from a distance and from above with leftover Army Painter red paint. I sprayed the base reddish brown – saves painting time. Step 1: Base colour: blackĪ simple spray job.
The whole process took 9:44 minutes, still not a record time but at least faster than contrast painting/highlighting with expensive GW-Citadel paint range.Īs true virgin I didn’t know the correct colour scheme, but Blood Angels are red and black and I had a spray cans Army Painter red. I can batch paint Napoleonics in 20 minutes with Quickshade so I wondered – can a Space Marine job be done faster than 20 minutes, if you focus on speed and use the dip instead of the CP technique? I saw Contrast Paint Youtube tutorials that promise that you can paint them “in under 20 minutes”. In the goodiebag from the Poldercon wargame convention I found a Space Marine donated by Wendy’s Miniatures. Incredible, isn’t it? Remember, virgins exist. Until yesterday my brush had never touched a 40K model. I battled my first games with Airfix, I played the marvellous Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, I won and lost with Blood Bowl and I have painted many (my wife says too many) historical miniatures in 6, 15 and 28mm.
