Thanks @varusminiatures for the 3D printing. Painted using @ionicsmarthobbies paints. To give it a more “grimdark” looking, I combined the acrylic work with enamel and oils.

They have adopted a clever and simple system: base + metallic wash + highlight. Straightforward, efficient, and perfect for achieving quick yet striking metallic results!

Mudness!!! It is always so refreshing (especially Mudness!!! It is always so refreshing (especially here) to go back and paint some 15 mm tanks for Flames of War.

Painting the classic winter whitewash camouflage with a washable white paint makes the process incredibly easy and fun. Then just add an enamel brown pin-wash and some enamel mud effects, and suddenly you have a proper winter beast ready for the battlefield!

How to do chipping effects on 15 mm @battlefront v How to do chipping effects on 15 mm @battlefront vehicles for #flamesofwar 

(Technically, it is the same regardless of scale)

	1.	We use a light colour to create superficial scratches and chipping. We apply the brush irregularly, mainly on the edges. We can use the body of the brush rather than the tip. We can also add horizontal scratches here and there.

	2.	We use a dark brown colour to create deeper effects. We place this colour inside the previous one. We only paint a few chips like this, keeping variation between superficial and deep impacts.

The most common issues when doing chipping are:
	•	too many chips
	•	chips that are too big

I tried a “quick” approach to painting the new I tried a “quick” approach to painting the new plastic Prussian lieutenant from @trench_crusade.

By quick, I mean sticking to the classic base + wash + highlights method, instead of building volume layer by layer. For me, this is the sweet spot between time invested and final quality.

That said, I have to be honest: I spent a bit more time on this miniature, adding extra highlight layers (after all, she is the officer!) I also enriched the shadow areas, especially on the metals, using subtle filters to add more depth. And then, the rust / patina effects on metals are the cherry on top of the cake: easy to apply and very effective!

I really like this approach: you can start with a quick painting method and then, if needed, add extra layers later to level up the quality. More about this in the upcoming volume of the IONIC encyclopedia!

Getting closer to the @hollowcrownminiatures Kicks Getting closer to the @hollowcrownminiatures Kickstarter, stay tuned! 👀

Here’s a quick look at how to create realistic rusty effects on one of the new miniatures by @hollowcrownminiatures from my friends @infamous_jt_ and @varusminiatures ; and sculpted by the excelente @aquila_sculpting .

For this effect, I used very thin glazes and filters (think 80–90% water) with just two acrylic colors: first Black Brown, followed by Rust (both from @ionicsmarthobbies). The more layers, the more intense the effect. I only applied it on the reveses and darker lower areas. 

If you like these miniatures and are wondering how to paint them, don’t worry: I’ve prepared something special that you’ll discover very soon in the Kickstarter! 🔥

Mud effects are not painted, they are created. By Mud effects are not painted, they are created. By using enamels of different consistencies, we can achieve highly realistic mud effects. This reel shows how to integrate a @trench_crusade figure with its environment using enamel muds from @ammomig

Step 1 – Base mud texture: create the basic mud texture using your preferred method, such as acrylic texture. The texture can be further enriched by adding natural elements, such as grass roots collected from a nearby park. 

Step 2 – Dry mud layer: apply a thick mud effect in a medium or light brown to represent dry mud. Use an old synthetic brush and splay the bristles to create more random, natural-looking textures. Apply small amounts to the lower part of the cloak, the boots, and the base.

Step 3 – Transition cleanup: with a clean brush, gently soften the transition areas using a stippling motion. 

Step 4 – Wet mud layer: apply a second layer of thick mud in a darker brown to represent wet mud. Concentrate this on the lowest parts of the miniature to create a sense of progression from dry to wet mud, and apply it randomly on the base.

Step 5 – Blending the base: blend the thick mud effects on the base using a more liquid enamel in a slightly different tone. Apply small amounts here and there with a brush to unify the textures and add depth.

Step 6 – Final clean-up: using a clean brush, perform a final clean-up on the miniature. Soften selected areas and remove excess mud where necessary to maintain balance and realism.

I used washes to speed up the painting process, combined with just a couple of highlights: fast and effective (you will find a complete step by step in the next volume of the encyclopedia for wargames by @ionicsmarthobbies ).

I also went for a mimikry camo scheme using Dunkelgelb, Lizard Grey, and Rust from @ionicsmarthobbies. Mus effects done with enamels.

Another Steel Legion miniature by @tinylegend.mini Another Steel Legion miniature by @tinylegend.minis, featuring my current favorite leather recipe: Black Brown → Brown → Brown + Vanilla. I usually thin the paint with ~50% of water to create very thin layers. This helps to create smoother transitions, but also increase the number of layers.

How do you paint leather?
