The model is a Space Marine Terminator Sergeant from Warhammer 40K. I used an Imperial fists colour scheme.

The model was based with Mephiston Red, with Corax Grey Zenithal highlight. I used an airbrush to spray two layers of Imperial Fists Yellow contrast paint. Metal components are painted using NMM in either Gunmetal or Gold – the power sword, the bolter, and the pauldron. The power sword was then painted with a a blue green glaze, made using lamian medium. The Aquila and helmet were painted with GW Mephiston red, and highlighted using Vallejo Bloody Red and Orange.

All yellows were highlighted using a combination of Vallejo Sunflower Yellow and Ice Yellow. I used brown ink in the recesses to create contrast.

The base was made using cork and basing material, base painted with desert yellow, painted with brown ink and then highlighted using a desert yellow and ivory. I then used some Gitadel grass tufts.

Since the kit isn’t available I kitbashed him from a
space marine captain in terminator armour. The system is warhammer 40K.

Techniques I used:
I started with a value sketch, then covered that with a speedpaint.
I drybrushed the cloak and added detailing work across the mini for
bronze highlights.
I detailed the standard and free handed the VULKAN on the banner.
I also tried some glow effects, but it was my first attempt so it did
not go well, in the end I had to layer paints over each effect to bring
them back to the rest of the paint scheme.
The rest of the mini and it’s base uses a lava base scheme with
technical basing. I did this on one pauldron as well.
The lightning effects for the thunder hammer used layering and a few
speedpaints in contrast.
This entry was my first real attempt at painting well, and I’m very
happy with how it turned out.

GW System: Warhammer 40k

Techniques used: Mostly painting with acrylic using brush over a black base, after base couts were finished used oil paint wash to darken down and add weathering. After the oil wash dried up varnished and did final touch ups. Red glow was made using liquid pigment enamel paint. Made base using cork and wood chips. Painted with base layer, oil paint wash, dry brushed and normal painted detail and finished off with pigment powder and grass tufts.

-Primaris Apothecary

-Warhammer 40k

Started off with a first time air brushing with two coats of white primer, followed by multiple layers on the detailing on the model (leather trim, gun, cloak, phials, purity seals, etc). Blocking in the White armour was left untill last to cover up any miss painting and finally some shading for the recesses to add depth and some drybrushing on the base for weathering. The helmet and head was magnetized for some variety of gameplay. Tried some free handing for my custom company name on the left pauldron as a final touch.

Waldemar Klazar

Model Name : Bretonnian Duke on Pegasus

GW System : Warhammer – The Old World

Techniques used : In general I used a combination of Army Painter speed paints along with layering certain citadel colours over most of the model. The wings were done by dry brushing with different greys and browns and then a very watered-down layer of Highlord blue from Army Painter for the longer feathers at the wing tips. I used Karak Stone from Citadel to dry brush the feathers on the wings to make the details show up a bit better. I used some Nuln oil on the silver armor to define the joints and create a slight shading in the more recessed areas. I used 3 transfers, 2 on the duke’s shield and 1 on the shield attached to the barding.

Juan Swanepoel

Model name: Ahzek Ahriman.

Warhammer system: 40 000 (Post fall to Chaos)

Techniques: I started with priming the model in Retributer Armour and the blocking in the blue parts with Thousand Sons Blue, dry-brushing the gold with Liberator gold and the blue with Ahriman blue. Before dry-brushing, I washed all the gold parts in Reikland Flesh shade and the blue parts with Drakenhof nightshade. The cape I painted in Volupus Pink on the outside and Apothecary white on the inside (contrast paints) which were dry-brushed with Pink horror on the outside and Corax white on the inside. All skulls are Corax white, washed in Nuln oil and dry-brushed Corax white again. Horns and smaller skulls are painted in Ushabti bone, washed in Reikland flesh shade and dry-brushed in Sreaming skull. Lastly, the rubies were painted in Evil sunz scarlet and pouches in Doombull brown, drybrushed with Steel legion drab.
