Airbrushing

Ten years ago I spent nearly a month painting my Iron Warriors army, and honestly it was mostly time spent just painting yellow. Fast forward to today, and there is so many painting aids that really it can take as little as a weekend to paint a 1850 or 2000 point army if you’re properly […]

I’ll be honest the idea for this little guy just happened to come from just dumb luck. Not that I’m upset, heck that’s how we got nice things like Penicillin and Nura Sweet! However while those discoveries went on to change our world, I’m just playing with toy soldiers and trying to inspire others with […]

Airbrushing is by far the easiest way to paint large surfaces, and when it comes to 40k there’s isn’t many bigger surfaces to paint than a display board (or a game table). A few months ago I painted up a display board for my Daemons, to match their bases and aid me in moving them […]

I love to paint. So while it’s perfectly acceptable to leave those clear cockpits unpainted, I just can’t resist painting them.

Hey guys, The Maz here, and a few weekends ago  I had the privilege of being able to learn how to airbrush from none other than the “Greatest pimp in the world.” by which I mean Kenny Boucher.The event of course was SpikeyCon, (FTW Games’ yearly birthday celebration) which hosted the two day painting seminar […]

Have you tried these yet? Our long awaited May shipment of Minitaire Paints is here and processed into our warehouse. We even have some paints left over for sale, and quite a few complete sets of the whole line of paint ready to ship as well. But I implore anyone still on the fence to […]

Welcome to my newest airbrushing tutorial, this time on how to paint Tzeentch Screamers! The last series of tutorials went so well, that a lot of you all had asked for more! So thanks for being patience as I put this together for everyone. Around last summer, right after I finished airbrushing up all my […]

Hey guys, Rage of Khorne here from The Order of Chaos going through how I “speed painted” a small force of Deathwing Terminators. I started off by spraying the models with chaos black primer and then giving them a thorough covering of XV-88 Paint. I then went over the models with an air brushing of Ushabti […]

Well I’m back with what I hope is the anticipated Part II to my very first airbrushing tutorial video. A lot has happened since I put out part one about a month ago, so let’s get right to it. First off I would like to thank everyone that wrote in or commented about my first […]

Today I want to show you guys a fool-proof method for getting great looking camo results with minimal effort (provided you have an airbrush). You will also need blu-tac for this project. In late 1944 Ike had Jerry on the run, and the German tank crews were being strafed mercilessly from the air. To help combat […]

Hobbying is what I like to call “an enjoyable chore”. While I hate all the work that goes into prepping, base-coating, and painting my models, nothing beats the sense of satisfaction of seeing a good looking project completed from beginning to end. I really do enjoy the actual act of painting itself, as it’s very calming to me. Plus if there is […]

A few weeks ago I can across a great airbrushing channel on You Tube showcasing some amazingly easy to do airbrush weathering techniques. These were for creating some great realistic looking weathered tanks, and they really inspired me to get off my butt and work on some of my Super Heavies. The reason I really […]

Parker from D-Minus One here, A friend of mine at the store was looking to get some models painted up for an upcoming battle report that he’s doing for his own gaming club’s publication. He wanted to continue to use the SS Panzergrenadier list out of “Nuts” that was so successful for him in the tourney, […]

I haven’t seen a revolution in miniatures painting like this since the early 2000’s when Vallejo came along an made us all realize that there were better paints out there than just Citadel. Heck, for me, this even blows away the introduction of washes by GW in early 2007 (Well mostly because I was already making my […]

Ever wonder what airbrush I used to paint all the models in my project albums?  Well look no further, the future of your painting hobby may lie with this unique airbrush simply called a Grex. My buddy Alec did a great write up on these guys recently at Feast of Blades (which I copied below), […]

Hi everyone. For my first post on Spikey Bits, I’d just like to give some background. First, I am not a top-level painter by any means, especially compared to the great artistry we see on this site every day.That said, I enjoy painting to the highest level I can, given the constraints of my time […]

Whew, I just finished up painting FORTY Grey Knight Purifiers for my Draigo Beats army, and wanted to share with you all my project log.You see to keep me motivated, and show a live step by step progression, I posted each step up on Facebook as I went! The updates even went directly and conveniently […]

Checkout this awesome Grey Knights that Next level Painting just finished up for a client! It’s pretty hot if you ask me. I think I may even change my Purifier’s red pads to match the Turquoise ones here that Kenny did. I’m still such a novice, sigh… Kudos to Kenny, his and GMM’s airbrushing is hands down […]
