Finishing Touches on my WH40k Minis

Itspsychicmuffin Craft and Cosplay DK30 Spring 2021 2 2

Description

The past couple DK30 events have seen me dive into the hobby of miniature painting with a Raven Guard army from Warhammer40k. While last time I really pushed myself to build and paint as much as possible (“efficiency” being the goal moreso than quality), this March I want to do something a bit more laid back, and really up the quality of the minis that I’ve already painted. I plan to do this by applying shades, doing some layering, and touching up the many little mistakes I’ve made since I’ve started this hobby.

Estimated Timeframe

Mar 1st - Mar 31st

Week 1 Goal

Step one: touchups! I’ve made a lot of tiny mistakes here and there since I’ve started working on my army, and before I can pretty these Space Marines up, I have to fix those mistakes.

Week 2 Goal

Shading. Nuln Oil is referred to by some as “cheat juice” and for good reason: applying some of this can make even the most basic of miniatures into a reasonably good looking model on your tabletop.

Week 3 Goal

This is where the fun (and challenge) really begins: layering! I plan on using this week to practice the technique on some regular troop models, hoping to get the hang of it before moving on to my fancier, prettier emo boys.
