There is a couple of rules that you need to follow when it comes to painting miniatures and toy soldiers.
1. Thin you paints. Seriously, you need to thin them.
2. When applying a wash, understand that you are now dealing with bottled magic and not paint.
3. In February you drop what you are doing and push a female model to the top of the queue. Just get it painted.
This is the law. Abide to it.
Alex from the Leadballoony blog introduced Fembruary last year and it is just great. I love it. And you should too. Fembruary is a hobby challenge in which you paint one or more female minis. Simple yet immensely important. Just do it!
Here is my entry this year – Excrucia Wysp of the Blood Viziers, Drukhari Reaver. Chicks on Combat Drugs, riding fast jet bikes slashing down enemies left and right. What’s not the like?
Vroom! Faster, faster, pussycat kill!
Ps. I got a neglected model done here.
That’s a good code to live by 🙂 Nicely done dude, I love the whole idea of DE jet-bike gladiators, and she’s a brilliant example – absolutely lethal looking!

Super stuff. I’m not sure which I like more: the flaked-off paint on the chassis or the faceplate of the rider.
The rules of painting are ones I can hang my hat on too.

Yeah, cheers! The face plate did come out kind of great, didn’t it. Very simple, it’s just Blood for the Blood God over Stormhost Silver.

The chipped/flakes paint is awesome man. The whole colour scheme is top notch.

Cheers! The chipping was very easy. I first stippled Rhinox Hide using a bit of sponge. Then some Leadbelcher and finally a wee bit of Stormhost Silver. Very effective.
