Taking a week off from the challenge

 I'm just posting that I'm taking a week off this week due to a busy social calendar. I'll be back next week with a fresh challenge. In the meantime, please check out my Instagram, where I'll post a recipe I used on one of my practice models on Friday.

Weekly Challenge #4 Completed - Results + Tutorial

Image
Welcome back to Paint Warriors ! This week’s challenge is complete, and I’m excited to share the results. For this round, I chose to paint a Stormcast Eternals Praetor —a model that immediately brought to mind the displays I used to see walking into a Games Workshop during 3rd Edition. Picture those iconic showdowns between the resolute Stormcast and the fierce Orruk Warclans. The color palette for the challenge consisted of the following five paints: 🟤 Mournfang Brown (Base) 🟡 Liberator Gold (Metallic) 🔵 Altdorf Guard Blue (Layer) 🔴 Emperor's Children (Layer) ⚪ Corax White (Base) Here’s how I approached the model step by step: Base Coat – Mournfang Brown I started with a full base coat of Mournfang Brown. It's a great foundational color—rich and earthy—with a lot of versatility for layering and creating smooth gradients. Dry Brush – Liberator Gold Next, I dry-brushed Liberator Gold directly over the brown. This created a warm, aged gold effect that...

Weekly Challenge #5 - Complete

Welcome back to  Paint Warriors ! This week’s challenge is complete, and I’m going to be the first to admit that I think I could have done better on this one. For this round, I chose to paint a  Ash Wastes Nomand —I had a great time painting one of these guys before with the Thunderhawk Blue, but I'll explain where I think things could have gone a bit better and why experimenting like this is important. The color palette for the challenge consisted of the following five paints: ⚫  Abaddon Black (Base) 🔵  Thunderhawk Blue (Layer) 🔴  Evil Suns Scarlet (Layer) 🟡  Yriel Yellow (Layer) 🟢  Orruk Flesh (Base) 1. I started this with an all-over basecoat of Abaddon Black .

Thunderhawk Blue was up next and was very easy to apply as a dry brush all over the model. The process left the black in the recesses a...

Weekly Challenge #6

 Welcome back to  Paint Warriors  — the weekly challenge where I roll the dice on a random 5-color palette and see where creativity takes us. The rules are simple: Keep it fun.  This challenge is all about enjoying the hobby, getting neglected minis painted, and experimenting without stress. Stick to the palette.  Each week includes five paints. You can only use those specific paints or close matches. Mixing and thinning is totally fair game! Today I have a bit of a change up, instead of randomizing my colors, I picked out these to paint some object markers that I'm sure you'll enjoy. I'll be back tomorrow with the results, but in the meantime, if you would like to submit your own challenge results, you can tag us on Instagram.
