So I am NOT an artistic person so this is especially anxious for me. But, I needed something to keep my hands busy that wasn't masturbating, so here we are.
I have probably over studied techniques and materials, and I want this post to be a "documentary" if you will. Where someone who has no business painting is going to be doing just that.
So, I'll be documenting my pitfalls and approaches to everything here. With all of you lovely people, it'll also hopefully be a central location for someone like me or just wants to get into 40k can refer to.
Disclaimer: I'll be at work until 5pm EST. But my job is pretty cushy so I'll be adding planning details throughout the day
Tools and Such
Well, I probably overspent here. Only because I'm lazy and didn't want to make the drive to harbor freights. But then again, paying the premium to help support my local game shop is going to give me some karma in the long run. Here's the list of things that I ended up picking up:
Theory is Great and All (11.13.19)
So here are my updates from actually painting.
Life Sucks and I haven't gotten much done (11/15/19)
So I was only able to apply a second coat of to what I've already done. But honestly, not too shabby! Apparently I didn't water down the paint too much.

Also, I recently switched to a different cell phone carrier, and got a $200 prepaid card.... So I'm getting these.

There's a blog that I found (will have to find it again later) that recommended these.
Citadel makes a good producut. This is what I use for my Gunpla and bases for mini's.

But really, just run a search for "black wash acrylic paint".
I should also mention nuln oil, also called "liquid talent," though I've never tried it myself.
Oh haha nope... tbh I lost his hammer launcher thing in a pile of parts somewhere.
Ol’ Ironhide has...
New weapons
New gap fillers
New stompy boots
Whole lot of this... ... and some of this
That thing needs a wash to darken it up and increase the grit.

>black is fine I use citadels shade "nuln oil" this can make any paint job look 2x better
Can a black wash be used on any color? How do you use a black wash on a light-colored figure?
I see that the Citadel Shade Nuln Oil is $8.60, but I could get a batch of 8 Citadel washes for $34.50. Would you recommend the batch of washes, or is the black all I need for a beginner.
I also have the Army Painter Strong Tone Quick Shade that I have been using, but it is a pretty dirty shader, only good for all my zombies I think.
The gold standard.

I also have a wide selection of Army Painter washes that came with the complete set of paints.
Just use sparingly and have a dry brush handy to soak up any excess. You can always layer up!

I got back into painting after about a 25 year hiatus, and got the following:

And this wash:

Really happy with all these products.
Try to get some of those https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07H5SB4HB to fix the miniature on a champagne cork. Works perfect. Then use some grounding like https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07T2H1SBR.
Then paint the miniature and finish with some Nuln Oil like https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0189BIERC
That should help. Have fun!
