Purple Worm completed

And this is how my Purple Worm turned out. All paints used were from the Army Painter Mega Set I mentioned in my last post.

This was how the worm looked like after completing the basecoat.

I didn't have the Army Painter Quickshade so I used the Quickshade inks available in the Mega paint set. I  used all 3 tones provided for different parts of the worm. This is how it turned out.

And after a reasonable amount of basic drybrushing...

My acid test for something is rather simple...kinda ..would I buy it again? Would I use it again? Would I watch a movie or series again? etc
So for the Army Painter paints, my personal opinion is Yes, I would get and use it again. In fact, I'll use it for my Skaven project later this year.

My most sincerest thanks to Bo of Army Painter for hooking me up with the Mega Paint Set. Truly appreciate it. Hope your venture grows and continue to grow :)

Thanks all for tuning in. Cheers.

The Army Painter Warpaints

What's the best medicine to get out of a hobby rut??? Different things for different folks I guess. Fortunately for me, mine came in the form of a set of paints to test out. How totally cool is that!!

So first of all, my most sincere appreciation to Bo of The Army Painter for graciously sending me a set of their Warpaints Mega Game Set :) It's like getting an early birthday gift. This set comes with 32 colors, 3 inks and a matt varnish which they call Anti-Shine. Cool name for a varnish huh. There are also 6 brushes and the best item in the box for me....the Wargamers Army Painting Guide.

I consider myself relatively new in the miniatures wargamming hobby (less than 5 years) and this painting booklet would have been a great help when I first started. 

I'm so impressed with how easy they've demonstrated on how to paint up a model that I've decided to paint one up following their recommended steps and of course using just things from this box set. This is what I'll paint up. The really nice D&D Purple Worm resin model from Gale force 9.



The Army Painter 4 steps are :

1. Spray - basically this is the priming stage;

2. Basecoat with Warpaints;

3. Quickshade; and finally

4. Anti-shine.

This is where I'm at so far. 



Clearly still a lot to do so stay tuned :) Cheers all
