Speed Paint Clone Troopers & White Armor With Peachy!
Starting this painting tutorial, Peachy primed these with White Scar! Remember that this is for painting fast, not for the highest quality!
Before we get into all the steps, let’s check out the paints used in this video!
- White Scar Undercoat
- Soulblight Grey
- Bold Titanium white from Pro Acryl
- Black Legion
- Iron Warriors
- Skavenblight dinge
- Stormfiend
Step 1:
First up, he does a layer of Soulblight Grey over the whole model; be sure to let it dry before you move on.
Next, he takes the Bold Titanium White and does a light drybrush of the entire model. Aster that, he takes the Black Legion and hits all the insides of the armor, the gun, visor, and neck area. This can get messy, so if you paint over any other areas, clean them up with the white from before.
Step 2:
This is optional, but to add some battle damage, he puts a very light amount of Skavenblight Dinge on a sponge and puts it all over the armor; just don’t be too uniformed, or it won’t look natural.
Next up, he takes black legion, coats all over the gun, and then does a second coat with it super toned down. This is honestly all you have to do for battle-ready minis. However, he wants this to be part of the 501st, so. We’ll take it a couple of steps further!
But, again, you could always just leave yours here and call them done.
Step 3:
He starts with Stormfiend on all the shoulder pauldrons, and then for the chest and other markings, he freehands it. If you get wobbly, you can clean it up with white, so don’t get too nervous when freehanding the designs.
Next, he takes the white and makes a letter I in the chest, right in the middle. For battle damage, you can take the white and hit the blue a little just with the tip of your brush where you think it looks good.
Basing:
He starts by painting the whole thing with Thondia Brown. Then, he takes Martian Ironcrust and repaints over the top of the brown. Now, to match the model with the base.
He takes the Martian again and thins it down with water. While it’s still wet, he feathers that onto the feet. Next, he takes Seraphim Sepia, hits the whole base with it, and just a little bit up onto his feet. Lastly, he drybrushes it with Screaming skull very lightly to bring out the highlights.
Finished Model:
There you have it, a super fast way to get great-looking minis on the tabletop in almost no time, not too shabby!Â
