Painting DeathWatch Army: Week 5; #Warmaster's Crusade

As you already know, Volomir.com presented their challenge "Warmaster's Crusade". Basically, a couple of painters have a limited time to complete a 1000 points Warhammer 40.000 army.

As you know I'm participating aside them until checkpoint 3 in June where Warmasters must have completed 500 points army. My objective is to paint 710 points at that point.

Also, I'll keep you updated on the work I do every week I work on this Army. Past Monday 23rd I posted the work done in week #4 so I reach this point:

This week I focused on painting the Gold trims. Let's see what I did:

Weekend Painting Workshop in San Fernándo (Spain)

English readers, as this post is mostly related to Spanish readers, allow me this time to use my native language:

Queridos lectores.

El primer fin de semana de Junio, impartiré un curso de pintura en San Fernando (Cádiz). Organiza Rafa Muriel, gerente de Órbita Model .

Explicaremos y detallaremos técnicas básicas, teoría técnicas aplicadas, avanzadas y conceptos básicos de aerografía. (No es necesario aerógrafo y compresor, pero si recomendable, si todos o la mayoría de alumnos disponen de uno enfocaremos parte del mismo temario al uso de la herramienta).

Habrá tiempo de aprendizaje, de demostraciones y de práctica, y trataremos de hacer el ambiente distendido y cercano. Podéis ver un par de reviews de cursos anteriores que he impartido en JEREZ y VALENCIA

Si estáis interesados, os ruego que os pongáis en contacto con el organizador del curso, Rafa, bien sea por facebook mandándole un mensaje a su tienda Órbita Model  o a su email rafaelmurielmunoz@gmail.com y el os podrá informar mejor sobre localización (no será en la tienda que se queda pequeña para un evento así, sino en un local cercano), tarifas, materiales necesarios, horarios y si fuese necesario, alojamientos.

Painting DeathWatch Army: Week 3; #Warmaster's Crusade

I couldn't paint in a few weeks on this army because I had some urgent Boxarts to paint. But this week I could do some work on them.

Do you want to see what I did in week 3?

MINI VIDEO TUTORIAL: Painting light outlines and reflections on a dark shiny armour

Well, my intention is to share as much as I can (I've not so much time) small video tutorials, from 1 to 5 minutes everyone with a small part of WIP I'm painting.

This is my first one so the camera set-up is not perfectly adjusted.

Here I show you how I do paint in half of a leg the first light outline and freehand over airbrush pre-shaded some reflections. I said "first light outline" because outlines also have their own lights, and I'm planning to paint another 3 lights over those ones.

I used 3 different mixes of dark sea blue (Vallejo model colour) and pale Greyblue (Vallejo model colour) using the lighter or the medium one as the base for reflections (according to zone) and the other 2 as glazes to clean the lines.

Some parts are at 3x speed, not as fast to not see anything, but not so slow to be boring.

Mesa redonda en Órbita Model

El próximo Sábado 7 estaré en Orbita Model (San Fernándo), haciendo una presentación, mesa redonda y firma de libros.

Si os queda cerca y os apetece acercaros a charlar de forma distendida sobre el hobby un ratito, y ver un poco desde vastidores cómo he acabado aquí, empezaremos sobre las 12.

¡Sed bienvenidos!
