Not sure I understand the question.
Oi!

I also do not understand the question, nor the exclamation "oi!" Has Greg Wagman committed some cardinal sin or other. I would have thought a tutorial by someone who does not see himself as a top painter would be more useful to the average gamer wanting to get figures on the table quickly, rather than a tutorial from someone who has mastered the fine art of producing exceptional figures, but only after years of practice and experience.
The "oi!" was because I had already posted that link on the forum.

I also welcome painting tips for average painters.
Proper tips for gamers; not a hint of 16 tone wet-palette blending now a sniff of agrax earthshade.
QuoteYou blend 16 tones and what do you get?
Another day older and your figure's unfinished.
That is an excellent, clear, unpatronising, description of how to produce great figures in 10mm with simple techniques. Thanks for sharing. Not enormously dissimilar from the method I use myself, although I do paint the flesh first. The grey highlight is a good tip, which I keep forgetting to use!
I could me wrong but I think LH's point was that Pendraken figures were those being painted.
I thought it a simple, fast method for painting 10mm for wargaming. Like Mollinary I start with flesh and work out. I have tried the dry brush grey to show highlights but always over do it and have to repaint the base coat. :'(
A bit of column A, a little of column B.
The plug for Pendraken was unexpected when I clicked the video, but I couldn't think of a better action than to link when I saw it.

Me too. I tried white once and that was way too stark, grey was not much better. I found Vallejo Khaki Grey much better for all periods. This, however, is over the finished figure, not the undercoat. It gives a slightly dusty effect, picks out the highlights perfectly and is particularly effective on vehicles. The dry brushing has to be very dry though.
I use Vallejo Deck Tan for my final dry brush
To ensure it is a very light dry brush I use a 1/2" wide flat brush and apply a very limited amount of paint to only one side of the brush. I then wipe off most of this paint on to my plastic dry brushing tray. (When I'm reloading the brush I will pick up some of this paint.)
I then lightly brush downwards only twice on each side of the figure using the other side of the brush, i.e. the side of the brush with no paint on it
This picks out the high spots and applies a very very limited amount of dust highlight
A very interesting tutorial, really handy. :)
