Painting Horus Ascended Part 1 PDF - The Cloak and the Pelt

Hey guys!

With this PDF we start another big project consisting of multiple guides. I painted this for Mosonshow, the biggest Hungarian Miniature show and painting competition. I don't think it can really win anything, I simply didn't have enough time to really refine it to that point.

But I still wanted to enter with something and I think, that while it is not perfect, this came out pretty well :) I hope you will like it as well!

This guide is describing how I painted the red cloak and the wolf pelt on his shoulders. In future guides I'll show you how I did the green armor, the NMM, the effects etc. as well.

(PDF Guide, 30 Pages)

Let me know what you think!

3+1 Ways to Paint a Cape - Patreon Exclusive Version

Hey guys!

Usually when my wife and I edit the videos we have a version with a lot of painting footage, but we have to cut most of it out so the YouTube video end up around the 10-15 minute long which seems to be the sweet spot for most people.

But we thought here on Patreon you are not like most people, and maybe you would enjoy a longer version of the same video with a lot more painting footage :)

Let me know if you like this format and we can do more of this in the future!

Speed Painting PanOceania - Operation Sandtrap

Hey guys!

You can find the PDF guide about painting the PanOceania Kestrel side of the Operation Sandtrap (1 PDF, 44 pages)

As usual I tried to get as close as possible to the box art, but in less than 2 hours spent per model. Considering that the 7 models took me 13 hours of painting time, I think they came out quite nicely and the method is quite easy to replicate :)

Enjoy!

Simple but Effective Bronze and Dark Iron NMM

Hey guys!

I made an 1 hour video guide about how I did the metals on the pre-heresy Death Guard. I used new color recipes to represent the dirty/grimy and corroded look.

The method is quite simple and fast, but it looks pretty good for the time invested I think.

I hope you will find it useful! :)

Preview: PanO Kestrel Speed Painting Guide

Hey Guys!

I know that some of you have been waiting for the PanO side of the Sandstorm box for a while. The models are now painted and I started working on the video and the guide. If everything goes according to plan, you will see both of them go live next Friday :)

Today I will publish a video guide about Highlighting Miniatures which will feature the first ever proper sponsor segment in any of my videos, so I am quite excited about that, but next week it is Kestrel time :) 

In the coming days I will also publish a loner form video guide about the NMMs I painted on the Horus Heresy Death guard models. I hope some of you will find that interesting as well!

Ariadna Marauder PDF Painting Guide

Hey guys!

You can find the PDF guide about painting an Ariadna Marauder in camouflage green armor and khaki fatigues (1 PDF, 22 pages)

There is no video on YouTube this week, but I thought some of you might be interested in how I painted the Ariadna Marauder on my latest Infinity Diorama (That won in the Scenery category on the Infinity Painting Contest :D)

There was no Ariadna painting guide on YT/Patreon until now, so I thought this could be a good addition until I do a larger Ariadna project.

Death Guard Plague Marine Speed Painting Video Guide

Hey guys!

Since the plague marine speed painting video was so popular both on YouTube and here on Patreon I made a longer form tutorial video to go together with the PDF.

It has a lot more footage than the YouTube version in case you want to follow along and I included more unscripted commentary as well which which will hopefully give you some more insight into what I was doing.

Enjoy! :)
