  2. Great job! Lovely work making the airbrushed parts of the mini not look "airbrushed". It's very difficult to use an airbrush and still make the mini look good. As a sidenote, do you have a guide on how to take pictures/making a lightbox? Your pictures are the cleanest I've ever seen!

    1. Thank you so much Dakkan really appreciate that 😊
      I actually primarily use the little tutorial games workshop made a while back. I have a Foldio3 light box and the first one usually use a few more lamps with daylight bulps.

  3. Wow! Just saw this on my facebook feed and it is an amazing guide.
    I've been having a hard time getting the right colour scheme for my SoH army. This will be immensely helpful.
    You are a gentleman and a scholar (and amazing painter)!
    Thank you so much!

  5. This is absolutely fantastic Christoffer, many thanks for taking the time and effort (and materials) to put it all together. The fact that you when through no less than four different paint ranges was amazing.

    You're a bloody legend! :D

  7. Hi, this is a fantastic guide, but I have one question: regardless of which paint manufacturer you use there seems to be a change in colour between steps 3 and 4, and I'm not sure why. The colour seems to become "more sons of horus" between these steps. I'm probably not making much sense...but do you see what I mean? It cant be down to the oil wash and edge highlighting. Any ideas? I tried your steps for the forge world paints using an airbrush, and I'm not sure how to get to that lovely colour of step 4.

    1. Thanks man
      Don't worry I know what you mean (I think :P). It's most likely the gloss varnish that changes things slightly. Varnish in general have a tendency to alter the underlaying colours a bit.

      I should probably I taken pictures of the last highlight before gloss varnish....don't know why I didn't do that to be honest :p


      So yeah, it's the varnish, there are no "secret" step in between :D

    Thanks again for all the effort that went into putting together the tutorial, I couldn't have hit those beautiful sea-green tones without it!
