[WM] Paboook's Warmaster Projects. Last Update: Hero on griffon & messengers

[Paboook]

My figures are not about "sick painting". The technique is very simple. Like Tzigane says, basing and coherency is the key. I would just add "simple and distinctive colour scheme" to those two as well 

[Paboook]

A little bit bigger update this time. My Middenheim detachment finally starts to look like a small army!

Sorry for the quality of some pictures, the light has been quite poor these days.

Really nice.

[Stormwind]

Really nice work. =)

I have a friend just starting empire army. I will show you those as very nice examples of what can be done with this army.

Lovely Steam tank!

[Tzigane]

Awesome! 

[empireaddict]

Very nice.  I like the crisp contrasts on the detailing.  Keep up the good work!

[Paboook]

Thanks  I have decided to give more attention to banners than before, as the seem to be the only part of 10mm models distinct during a game

Sick painting !

With so many great painters around I feel like I better ditch all my efforts and start selling off.....  there is NO way that I can find time and skills to get to this level...

Seriously Lex, washes are your best friend for WM. Simply paint base colour on the area you want and hit it with a wash! Hey Presto! a great looking army.

Very nice! This might just inspire me to do the next phase of my budding Empire army - all the warmachines!

What washes do you recommend? In the past I've used a green ink for orc flesh (looked OK) and a brown ink for shadowing/darkening "cloth" but that looked very "heavy". The photos of the Empire units upthread, have they been washed? Is there a generic wash that can be brushed over any colour?

As you can tell, I'm a bit of a wash virgin!

As I've mentioned somewhere above, I use Armypainter Quickshade (strong tone) applied with a brush. I paint every strip of figures separately and work on the the bases after the miniatures are finished.

Paboook, do you mean the large tin or the 18ml dropper bottle of ink?

Looking on the Armypainter website, the large tin seems to be turps based?

Presumably using the 18ml ink lets you simply wash the brush in water?

Edit: Ordered a couple of the 18ml ink bottles online, fingers crossed it works OK  . If my figures end up looking half as good as Paboook's I'll be a very happy bunny!

I use the large tin. I didn't have any idea about the small bottle until now actually But I guess your miniatures will look great anyway.
