Yacks Anyone can Paint Thread

Post by Yack »

This is dedicated to anyone who states they cannot paint.
Really if I can paint (and not that well) and make it table worth ...anyone can.

Started to work on table of shame (see DF thread) some more today during a 30min virtual meeting which was more of a listen in.

I do not recall people posting these ones so thought I would share.

Took less than 30min
Stone Defender and Oaken Bolter tried to stay close to the art a bit.

I am not a perfect painter by any means but I just love doing it as its relaxing.

Co: Wizkids
Price: $5.99 CAN for both minis (one pack)
Time: 30min for both as done at the time

I paint all my Dwarven Forge due to (12 bins and counting)
1. Way cheaper and get more pieces on the table
2. They charge straight shipping so cheaper to get as many sets and pieces in a order

Here are some banks and some LED Posts that I did up..
Price: its DF so $$$ (I think $58 total for the 2 sets)
Time to paint: Literally one sitting maybe 1.5 hours max (Factory line painting.. one color at a time from step to step is the key) I have all my DF paint steps in a spreadsheet for my own custom color matching per type of set.
Cannot wait to play with these in a few builds (will post that in the DF Thread)
Tip trick use Clear Gloss Nail polish for glare of liquid.
