Painting cavalry can seem daunting! If you're anything like me, you'll find a way to put it off until it's absolutely vital, but with a little planning and the right idea you can get pretty respectable results without a great deal of fuss. The same basic technique will work for almost any coloured horse, after which you can paint equipment and barding to match the rest of your army's appearance. READ MORE:
This French Cuirassier comes courtesy of a very generous viewer who's been waiting patiently to see how I'd tackle these ones - my apologies for the wait! The results here are a little grainier than you can expect by using the same techniques yourself, due to the baking heat in Dortmund at the moment. Fingers crossed the weather breaks and we get some rain at last!
How I Paint Things is a series of simple instructional videos designed to help the newcomer through some of the basics and demonstrate how the very simplest techniques can still give you some great results that're easily replicated. Aimed at the beginner to painting miniatures, there might be one or two tips or tricks that help even you old hands!

Looks fine to me. I did anout 30 years of riding & Napoleonic reenactment on horseback (14th rgt. Dutch cuirasier 1812). When I see a horse even on KZfaq, I can smell it too.

This whole tutorial was useful! I learned a lot about painting horses and about the difference in effects of Citadel washes and Ouick Shade washes. Knowing that the Quick Shade is more of a stain that would come in handy a lot. I am looking forward to the next tutorials. Thanks for sharing them.

It's a big difference between the Quickshades and GW's Washes that I don't hear mentioned often, so I thought it'd be neat to actually demonstrate on the same miniature how they differ from one another. It helped me in a big way to figure that out and use them for different applications, as you can see!

No problem! :D If by some chance you end up with some pictures of what you're working on, I'd love to see - I've had my eye on Hail Caesar for a while, despite nobody in the area playing, and I'd be half tempted to just pick up some miniatures for the sake of painting something fun.

Thank you kindly! I'm really glad to get your perspective, as I'm sure you see a great many more horses on the battlefield than I tend to. ;D By the end of it, a result of 'Yeah, that's pretty alright' suits me fine, and it takes minutes compared to some of the (admittedly fantastic) methods out there.

I've been a bit slack on the 'daily' aspect lately, but I'm still plugging away where I can. I'll swap you the heat, dude! You can keep the spiders and lizards and roos and-... actually, I'll stay put for now. ;) All the best!

Great videos! I'm pretty new to the hobby, so I've still tons to learn. Quick question: how do you smooth out the level difference between the small base and the actual base you've pinned the figure on?
@SonicSledgehammerStudio
@SonicSledgehammerStudio 5 жыл бұрын
For the most part I tend to just cover up the small parts of the miniature's integrated base with a little sand and basing material, and just hide it. I know some folks go to the lengths of cutting it away entirely and then pinning the miniature to the base, but it's so much extra work - great for centerpieces, though!
