Let's Paint: Empire of Man Swordsmen
Hey guys! Welcome back to the channel! Sorry for the repost, had a technical error with the first iteration not having my narration.
Today we have a full tutorial on how I paint my Reilkand scheme inspired from Warhammer: Total War.
Going forward on the channel I'll be trying to stick to one paint line for ease of use. I've recently picked up the entire Army Painter Warpaint Fanatic line... and it is fantastic. Expect a full review at some point.
I've been slowly building out a small Empire of Man force for my local Old World scene. I've been printing Highland Miniatures Sunland line on my new GKTwo. Lovely STLs!
As always I'll be keeping my content free of paywalls. If you'd like to supp...

    I love your style. After painting death guard and their chipped up vehicles I think this will be a perfect transition to a new army. I have a question though. Would it be worth using ak worn effect to achieve the chipping? Or is it better to have more control over where the chips are?

    • @col.festus
      @col.festus 26 дней назад

      So initially used this product, but the chipping was too random and large sometimes. This lead me to having to go back and fix those areas. It became easier to just do the chipping by hand.

      Part of the secret is getting a good exposure time locked in. This allows the supports to be removed without leaving large craters. I then use a sonic knife to remove anything remaining. Also soak in very hot water for 1-2 min before removing supports
