Inspired by an article about painting a Tyranid Hive Fleet in a day I started the first SpaceHulk project: “The SpaceHulk Speedpainting”.
At the game fair “Spiel 2004” in Essen me and Wolfgang managed to get an example for painting a Genestealer in minutes (using Games Workshop colours) by John:
Black base coat
Dirty drybrush of “Ultramarines Blue” with a big brush
With a mix of “Warlock Pink” and “Dwarf Flesh” we painted the head, flesh and claws
The tongue was highlighted with “Tentacle Pink”
The claws were highlighted with “Bleached Bone”
The top of the head was highlighted with “Dwarf Flesh”
We used then “Purple Ink” thinned down with a lot of water to ink the complete miniature, except the claws.
In this way I painted one week later over 75 Genestealer at the game fair in Stuttgart/ Germany.
But unfortunately the bases still had to wait to get finished...
After my introduction from Lines at the B7 2006 I finally got the motivation to finish the Genestealer after painting my first 10 Terminators.
The bases and the floor tiles are painted with:
Black base coat
Drybrush with “Boltgun Metal”
Light drybrush with “Bilious Green” |
