Make sure the Quickshade is dry before starting! Otherwise, it can damage your models and you don’t want that For readability/simplicity’s sake I’ll finish the steps for the models, but if you’re following along, go straight to the bases and knock yourself out. Now would be a good time to do the bases. It’s worth it to push yourself an extra hour or to to finish this step to leave it overnight to dry. If you are on a tight deadline, pace your self accordingly. You need to factor in a solid 10 hours for this to dry.

We’re using off-black for this because straight black will look lame with the quickshade. P3 Coal Black is awesome for this, but you can also use pretty much anything like Citadel Dark Reaper, Incubi Darkness or whatever the darkest grey is called. Citadel Bugman’s Glow – but really whatever, there’s not enough of it to make a big deal.īlack: Tubes and joints. Citadel Skrag Brown – This will look weird, but it totally works, I swear. Citadel Zandri Dustīrown: All the pouches, belts holsters and slings. Citadel Ulthuan Grey ( this color is amazing) Helmets, Ultramarin Signs, cloak details, squad markings. Red: Cloaks, Top of purity Seals, Sarge Helmets. I wrote which colors I used, and except for the black, just pick your favorite.

Not having to do more than one coat is a big deal when you are trying to save time. I like Citadel’s Balthazar Gold for this, it looks rich and dark and it covers like nobody’s business. All the guns? All the guns! You don’t need to have red parts and black parts on there, just go ham. Grab a suitable dark silver color ( I like Citadel Leadbelcher, if you sprayed parts silver, use the same silver) and paint every gun, grenade, sword, knife and stud on all of your dudes. The color choice I included are my favorite because of the way they cover and because of how well they look paired with the quickshade later. * Step 2 –Īt this point, we are looking to do every surface that’s not going to be blue with the right color in one smooth opaque coat of color.

If you opted for partial assembly of shooty and tracky stuff, spray them with silver. Go over everything with 2 thin coats of the shaker can. The Army Painter Ultramarine Spray Primer. I didn’t have any tanks to paint this way, but if you do, you razorback-loving-maniac, don’t worry, I got you covered and have included how I would do vehicles. ![]() The only part I would consider leaving unassembled is tank tracks and guns and cannons. Prep: Have all your models assembled fully and on placeholder bases (Placeholder bases are an important part of this method, do not use your “final” bases). This really is about getting the best bang for your buck, or in this case, best bang for your time. ![]() The store’s Primaris took 5 hours total, the 2,000 points army took me little over 15 hours. I painted the store’s Dark imperium and my ATC army with this method. So rather than suffer through another round of questions, here’s the whole thing. ![]() He’s since then been pestering me to tell him how I painted them ( so he can paint some more I assume ). I sold my ATC Ultramarines army a couple of weeks back to Spikey Bits’ own Rob Bear, the man, the myth, the catdaddy, the legend himself.
