Speed Painting 101

Okay, at the urging of a few people, I am putting together a series of step by steps. These are to detail as much as I can tell about speed painting.

I give you Easy Ultramarines!

Step 1 - After a Black Primer coat, apply GW Mordian blue to the entire model.

Step 2 - Appy a liberal wash of GW Asurman Blue to the entire model, instanly shading the model.



Step 3 - Apply GW Blotgun Metal to weapons, skulls, and venting on the backpacks. After the boltgun dries, apply a quick wash of GW Badab Black.

Step 4 - the most aggressive step in the entire process. Black out the left shoulder pad with GW Chaos Black, paint a dot and a line across the top in GW Astronomican Grey. Now Edge the shoulder pad with GW Iyanden Darksun.

Step 5 - Paint over the Iyanden Darksun with GW Golden Yellow. Paint over the Dot and the line with GW Skull White. Take GW Chaos Black, paint a smaller black dot within the white dot, closer to the top of the white circle than the bottom. Paint a thick black line, straight up thru the bar crossing the circle, and you have a hand painted ultra marine symbol.


Base, matte varnish, and there you have a very quick easy good looking Ultramarine Squad.

Enjoy!
