I didn't have any white base coat, so I sprayed them with Army Painter Uniform Grey. They're little fiery dudes, so you want them to have a white-hot base coat. You're supposed to undercoat Brimstone Horrors white. But if you're thinking about giving painting a go, this is how I painted my cute little Brimstone Horrors from Games Workshop's Silver Tower. I have to stress that this is not a guide for anyone even remotely confident with a brush. Tangents and conversations about the biscuits I was eating while I painted these miniatures will be kept to a minimum. It's a little bit different to my normal content. Oh, and by the way, if people are interested in this sort of thing, I'm toying with the idea of making it a semi-regular feature (not that anything on this blog is even close to regular). I'm not so much going to guide you as I'm going to flail around wildly, leaving a broken trail to show where I've been as a warning for anyone else.

(Not that there's anything wrong with dipping miniatures either.) But also, I thought it might be fun to show people how I flounder through this stuff. I sort of wanted to show that anyone can do this, and it doesn't just have to involve a base undercoat and a tin of Army Painter Quickshade. So, if I'm not a skilled artist, why have I had the audacity to write a painting guide? I really like painting miniatures, but I find assembling them a chore and honestly, I have very little time for painting. ago Thanks I will try this but I have already ordered mixing medium directly from army painter. Work in a ventilated area when using either. Mineral spirits or turpentine will thin it and will be necessary for cleaning your brushes. I have always said I am primarily a gamer. Army Painters potted Quick Shade (in the can) acts like an oil based stain.
