If I had any cities in mind when painting them I would have ? But none of these were drawn from any particular city inspiration. Just colour schemes for the sake of colour schemes to hopefully help ?
Painting your miniatures, taking them from bare plastic to fully realised warriors, is one of the most satisfying parts of the Warhammer hobby. Display your miniatures, use them in your games, and enjoy painting as a creative and relaxing pastime.
I feel that any dark purple would suffice like the various yellows I have seen imperial fists painted in the past. I would encourage you to follow lysanadestope's guide as it is a pretty good approximation without a painting guide given. I will say it's a hard scheme to get just right. My mistakes make me want to just give up on the astral Templars and make my own stormhost though I wouldn't know where to begin with that.
I wouldn't give up quite yet if I were you. You can still go back and work on the colours quite a bit. The technique I would try, again, if I were you, is a series of thin washes/glazes. Get your hands on some sort of medium and ideally a thinner. Take the darkest colour or wash you've used on the armour and thin it down with the medium and thinner. I can't tell from the pictures if you've washed the armour with anything, but use whatever darkest. Then in a series of layers, keep applying the thinned mix closer and closer to your edge highlights. Duncan describes it in detail when painting Nagash's robes ( =liKyefOTvlQ) You want only the extreme edges to remain the original highlight colour. If that seems daunting, then do the reverse; wash everything, then with a clean, moist brush, remove the wash from the edges, moving farther and farther in with each layer. I know you didn't ask for any advice, but it's a shame to read that someone's given up.
Now, if I was to do it from a blank slate, I would try to approximate a technique called under-shading and glazing. I love this technique and have used it almost exclusively when painting this year. Prime black, being careful not to leave any grey showing. That's very important for this to work, so I usually go over with a brush on primer after spraying. Then drybrush almost the entire model in a mid-range grey. Be relatively light, and keep the brush at a 90 degree angle from the model so that you avoid the recesses that would't get any light. Now dry brush the top and focal points of the model with white, in other words hitting the spots that would get the most light and where you want the most detail. With the presswork done, choose a nice dark purple and thin it down. All the way down. You're going for a thin glaze, so that you can see the ridges of your skin through it when you paint some on your thumb. Then just go to town glazing all the armour plates. The glaze will show the underlying colours through it, dark in the lowest recesses, lighter where you hit it with the grey drub rush, and lightest on the most raised parts, giving you a nice variation in colour. Keep applying layers of glaze until you are happy with the colour. The worst you can do, as long as you've thinned your paint enough, is to take a long time giving it a basecoat. My two cents.
Im not the greatest painter but it kinda sucks whenever I post pictures of them and people automatically go to how they can be improved. The only reason I chimed in on this thread was to show Promoris how I painted my own Astral Templars and to say that not all armies need to look the way that they are represented by GW. Again I appreciate the advice and I am not that great a painter even after 13 years but I just can't afford the finer paints, brushes, and have little extra time to get my miniatures to Golden Daemon worthy status. I don't mean to sound defensive or ungrateful it is just I am used to being critiqued on my painting so much it feels as though I am not doing it right.
I'm sorry if it came out that way. It wasn't my intention to critique, explicitly or implicitly. There are so many different styles and ways of painting, and no one place to learn of them all, so I'm always eager to share the techniques that have worked for me, as it was really just happenstance that I heard of it in the first place. All that really matters is getting a result that you're happy with.
@Primoris I really hope you enjoy painting your purple giants like I did. Black Library released the attached description of the Astral Templars talking about veterans going to battle like Ulricans without helmets and with animal pelts which I think is really inspiring and has the potential for some really unique Stormcast conversions.
For many aspirant Warhammer players, building and painting the miniatures that comprise your army is one of the main draws of the hobby. But for some, this process can feel super daunting. To help, we've create this is a beginner's guide to painting the new Beastlord, a fantastic model released for the Beasts of Chaos Warhammer: Age of Sigmar army. So follow along on our first ever Warhammer Painting Guide, as we use minimal paint colors, focusing instead on a very approachable way to get your new beastly hero onto the table quickly (while still looking great).
This is the How to Strip Paint Off Miniatures headline model. As you can see, the before image shows a terrible paint job. I was painting this up as part of another blog tutorial and it came out very poorly. To top it off, I dropped him. I struggled to get the flesh layers down and then went far too heavy on the wash. This was primed in Vallejo Black Airbrush Primer and painted with Games Workshop Acrylic Paints.
I have reused the isopropyl to the point that it has gone black and some miniatures have a slight dark residue too them. Do you know if its safe to paint over this residue?
Also, when do you decide to dispose the isopropyl alcohol before using a new batch for painting?
If you follow the guide and leave them in for a limited time I have found that there is no impact at all on details. Thanks for the shout out about the Face Mask. I had this comment preciously and added this mask as an alternative from the previous one I recommended. but yes, the suggestion of ventilation is right, this is enough.
This is probably the step I find most fun; painting up the flesh in a red tone. I actually use Screamer Pink for this, to tie them into the rest of my Soulblight army, although any deep, saturated shade of red will work well.
Painting Guides are books containing instructions on how to paint miniatures for Warhammer Age of Sigmar. They also contain some background on the groups that use the corresponding painting scheme.
The quality of your heat/lava painting never fails to amaze me, and the Bloodthirster is looking absolutely fabulous! I actually know two or three projects that try to go for the same effect, but fail so horribly, while your lava look always turns out absolutely incredible!
