Ok this thread is for all your miniatures painting needs. This thread is for any type of miniature, warhammer fantasy, 40k, flames of war, warmachine, RPG minis, anything you wish to talk about. Feel free to talk about paint, brushes, painting techniques anything that’s related to miniatures and painting. Heck lets go ahead and include customizing, kit bashing and other sorts of model work.


So right now I’m painting some Hordes figures, Legion of Everblight. I’m going for a volcanic theme. I’m tying all the models together with a red/black paint scheme. I’ve hit a bit of problem. I don’t know how to highlight flat black. I’m trying to paint the cloaks on some Everblight Legionaries, and I don’t even know where to start. Anyone have any ideas or pointers?

One thing you could try is highlighting with a suitably dark color, like a dark red.

Ok so I finally figured out how to paint the cloaks on these legionnaires I’ve been trying to paint. Which pleases me greatly. Now I have a lot more work to do before this project is done. However, I’m feeling confident now that I’ve managed to jump most of the hurdles I’ve come across. Anyway I’ve just finished snapping some pics so I’ll try to post a few.

I’ve got some warmachine ones but this is the only one that came out good enough to bother posting:
