Thank you so much! I primed half of my spectrals white, the other half silver, then used different shades of blue and green inks/washes, white-brushed them with dry pigment, added red eyes and white teeth - done. Very fast indeed, and they look great. :)
Just read the title with "super fast", the video started and Austin was talking really fast until I realized I had the speed at 2x. It´s an interesting idea to "paint" the mini with only drybrushing.
Haha :-D I bet that sounded funny! I just like the idea of finishing most an expansion in very little time at all and it still looks dead good! DEAD GOOD! Bud dum tsh
Nice simple job. So many ways to paint these guys since they are simple models and really depends on how much time you want to spend painting the models.
Same white primer followed by AP blue tone wash/ink (whatever). I think starting from Crystal Blue might look good as the first drybrush them move on to a mix with Electric Blue. Crystal Blue has a spray primer shop.thearmypainter.com/products.php?ProductGroupId=15 It's down around the half way point to see the color.
In the artwork, the clothes of the figure looked darker than the rest. Went with Citadel technical Waystone Green for that and Hexwraith Flame for the rest, all over a white primer. Have been asked if the figures glow in the dark :-P
@@WatchItPaintIt The technical color pooled in the recesses, so it is darker there. I guess one could also go with one color only and just smush it on there. Will put a link later :-)
Nicely done! I love rapid paint jobs! I wonder though, maybe adding a glaze step to really enhance the "ethereal glow" would be nice? I think i'll try starting with your method and try to make the eyes glow and maybe add some glow from the fingers if at all possible. Regardless, awesome job!
Also, that latest video I put up on Patreon I use a glaze to try and get a glow effect from the lighting, so you can have a look at how that one came out!
If Im gonna get it, I will try glow in the dark paint. I did it once on GW banshee but after 15layers of paint it still doesnt glow bright enough. Then I found Montana sprays localy so that should work better.
Yeah, It was going on way too strong with almost no effort. It's why the model looks chalky as F in the end. Might want to go over teh whole thing in your original wash but mix in some medium to cut it down some.
I think with just a bit more care and color selection, these could have turned out cleaner and less chalky. I went with white primer - Then brushed on Ulthuan Grey. Nihilakh Oxide on the skin - thinned Hexwraith Flame on the cloth Drakenhof Nightshade on teh skin - 3parts lamian / 1 part shade for the skin. I found it too light and not defined enough Dry brush of Ulthuan Grey over everything. Particular attention to make it much heavier at the tips and ends of the cloth. Lamentors Yellow extremely thinned out in multiple passes building up to the ends of the cloths and also used out of the pot for glowing eyes. This gives you some slight variation in color and only took a few hours at best. You'll get a ghostly blue for the skin and hair and ghostly green robes that as they end turn into a glowing green/yellow.
I normally remove the model lines but I left them and did the dusty dry brush effect, because I wanted it to look like an old ghostly statue come to life.
Haha. I hardly bother either with hordes. If they are really bad I do it :) but I can’t seem them when playing at normal distance :O you’re right to be thorough though!
To be fair to them the mold lines on these models are in some rather awful places. Right along the folds of the clothes is just ugh to remove. I certainly tried and it was not fun. Much easier to just keep them facing away from players at all times :P
A wash of diluted nihilakh oxide from Gw would fit better in my opinon. Let the wash dry and then apply a quick drybrush with white. For a better, not so dusty result, clean the model up by layering some white as a final step.
I would do a light glase to diminish the chackyness of the dry brush.
Good idea!
I didn't use a glaze at the end because I wanted it to look like an old ghostly statue come to life.

Glad it helped! Sounds great man, send us a picture if you ever get chance!!

Sometimes a little dry brush is all you need. That sounds like a great name for a love song lol.

Nice simple job. So many ways to paint these guys since they are simple models and really depends on how much time you want to spend painting the models.
Totally, I’m really sad I didn’t back this expansion myself, I would have had a lot of fun painting these, I love quick and effective results :-)
As usual great painting brother
Thanks dude!
Very nice! I would love to see this in a blue variant. I haven’t decided what color to paint mine yet
Wyatt Wagner I going to do that soon. I’ll post some pictures on Instagram.

Nice! Extra effort though, is it worth it? Look a lot better? Ooohhh, glow in the dark ones would be cool! :-D

As always, figures look better in real life :-D
They look really nice. Love the picture against full colour heroes! Great work

Nice ideas Doug. Do let us know how you get on, especially if you get any pictures!
Thanks man. The glaze idea sounds awesome. I may have to try it in the future.

That’s a lot of layers for it not to work well :-( be interested in hearing how the Montana sprays fare if you do try them!
@@WatchItPaintIt I found GiD pigment called LIT from UK. They claim its the brightest paint ever. must try it.
your Cyabrite green drybrush had a LOT of paint on it, it wasnt just rubbing paint off on the high points it left blobs everywhere the brush touched

noice , i m gonna copy this when i paint mine
I wish I got this expansion. Could paint the whole thing so fast!
The sybarite green you used looks a lot bluer than the sybarite green i have.
Oooh really?! Did the change it? Quality control? I wonder why
I think with just a bit more care and color selection, these could have turned out cleaner and less chalky.
I went with white primer - Then brushed on Ulthuan Grey.
Nihilakh Oxide on the skin - thinned
Hexwraith Flame on the cloth
Drakenhof Nightshade on teh skin - 3parts lamian / 1 part shade for the skin. I found it too light and not defined enough

I'll have to pick up sybarite...looks more ghostly than the necrotite (p3) that I usually use
Breaking Chains it’s a great color. Just be careful mine dried out after a month. Definitely transfer it to a better bottle.
I admire your speed work (i'm a very slow painter) but maybe mold lines and drybrush dusty effect are too much speedy eheh
I normally remove the model lines but I left them and did the dusty dry brush effect, because I wanted it to look like an old ghostly statue come to life.
Cool, thats what i needed. But please remove mold lines xD
Haha. I hardly bother either with hordes. If they are really bad I do it :) but I can’t seem them when playing at normal distance :O you’re right to be thorough though!
To be fair to them the mold lines on these models are in some rather awful places. Right along the folds of the clothes is just ugh to remove. I certainly tried and it was not fun. Much easier to just keep them facing away from players at all times :P
Haha. Or just play with players with bad eyesight like me. I wouldn’t even see the lines during play :D
A wash of diluted nihilakh oxide from Gw would fit better in my opinon. Let the wash dry and then apply a quick drybrush with white. For a better, not so dusty result, clean the model up by layering some white as a final step.
Thanks for the advance. I wanted the dry brushing to look dusty, because I wanted it to look like an old ghostly statue come to life.
