I have started using a the GW fire warrior painting guide and using an educated guess as to what paints I should be using at each stage.<br />The colours I have got are shadow grey, space wolf grey, fortress grey, asurmen blue, burnished gold, shining gold, scab red, mithril silver, chaos black and solar orange. Brushes I have standard, fine and large dry brush.<br /><br />I have just finished painting 6 fire warriors and a prianah. Looking at the fire warriors I have missed a step, so any help you can give is great. <br /><br />On a sperate note this blog is ace I get a lot of info and some cool tactics. Played 4 games and lost but thats cool still having fun ;)Eishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14969915559260726555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5489945968592018737.post-43741865277780914622011-11-06T09:18:26.800-05:002011-11-06T09:18:26.800-05:00Eish,

Fast=rushed=sloppy It took me about a week to paint that Shas'el working a little every day. Speed comes with practice naturally, and as you paint more and try to add more details and new techniques to your models, you will increase your painting speed as these tasks become repetetive for you. By the time you paint your 6th fire warrior, you will notice that it isn't taking you as long to do it.<br /><br />OSH's tip is great for someone who plays and doesn't have the patience for a lot of painting. I suggest in addition, that after you have done a fast table-ready paint job, and are playing and having fun, that you handle your modles by their bases to keep them as free from your body oils as you can, and over time, addd more details. Your army will still be usable, and look better every time you play. Start after your basecoat and wash, like OSH suggested, next drybrush your armor a lighter shade to create quick highlights. Play a game, then next add some simple sept markings. Play another game and then paint the cloth on your firewarrior's a different shade from the armor. Then another time, add your gem and optics effects to your models. Progress your painting at your own preferred pace.<br /><br />The best tip I can give for any starting painter is,.. Have the right tools for the job. Buying the GWS paint brush set sped my painting up to double speed. Good brushes, good paint, a cheap pallet and two plastic cups of filtered water with a drop of dish soap in them (and stirred). Flat toothpicks for stiring and mixing paint, paper towels, and any templates you want to use should be added to the list.<br /><br />DennisCobalt Cannonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5489945968592018737.post-21001129330364736092010-05-05T12:12:31.976-04:002010-05-05T12:12:31.976-04:00Army Painter's Color Primers are the schiznit....Army Painter's Color Primers are the schiznit.

Sa'cea is my favorite of the regularly-published color schemes, and something about the large amounts of black on the Stealthsuit underpinnings has always made that dark blue pop. Combine that with XV25s not being as blocky as XV8s and I'm ready to swoon.Wadmaasihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01012851636440795940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5489945968592018737.post-30831827334488021042010-05-05T11:49:37.798-04:002010-05-05T11:49:37.798-04:00I've got a tip.

Then wash with badab black. you're done!

I hope some day I will get better, practice makes perfect.<br /><br />Any tips or hints on how to maintain focus or techniques that make the process seem to go faster?
