Hi everyone!
Today, I bring you a painting guide for the Hollow Lord — a sinister wraith from KZK Minis. I've been wanting to try this color scheme for a while, but didn’t have any suitable minis for it until I came across this guy.
I'm quite fond of the end result, though I feel like I could push it further, with some rust in the armor recesses...
Hi everyone! We're back to Infinity, this time with one of the JSA Kurayami Ninjas!
Just like the last guide, this was painted with a mix of some Contrast paint and regular acrylics. Applying base coats is usually tedious for me, so this has been a nice way to skip a couple of steps but still end up with a result close to my usual style of painting.
Hope you like the guide!
Hey everyone!
I'm back with another fantasy piece, a duelist from Reptilian Overlords.
I'm continuing to explore how much faster I can paint by focusing more effort on a few focal points. This time, I used a bunch of Contrast colors to speed up the application of the base and mid-tone layers. This also allowed me to limit the number of highlight layers needed on some details, he...
Hey everyone! I’ve been playing a lot more MCP with my brother-in-law lately, so I’ve been trying to add more painted minis to the collection. Recently, I’ve been aiming for a painting level that feels comfortable for gaming—something more satisfying than standard "tabletop" quality, but without requiring a huge time investment.
A big part of that has been figuring out which parts...

Hey everyone!
There’s been a lot of talk in my local scene about picking up Grimdark Future lately, and it’s got me thinking about what I’d play. While it’s unlikely I’ll get to paint up a full army anytime soon — especially with projects still lined up for my main game, Infinity — making these painting guides gives me an excuse to test out some i...

Another fantasy mini, this time a dwarf warrior!
I've been experimenting with some new enamel washes from AK Interactive and wanted to paint something in TMM (True Metallic Metal), so here we are!
I've been using a black enamel in tabletop commissions for ages, but I recently discovered that AK offers a range of colored washes. The Dark Wash used in this guide is a phenomenal dark...

Hey everyone!
Sorry for the delay—this year has been off to a seriously chaotic start.
It took me a bit to decide on a project for this month’s tutorial, but I ended up going with something Middle-Earth themed. I swear, Evil Red has become my favorite undertone color. It just works with everything—especially steel, as you’ll see in the guide.
Since I’m ...

Hi everyone!
Today, I’ve got a painting guide for this skeleton mini. This is a bit late for Halloween, but as far as I'm concerned, we can enjoy spooky stuff all year round.
I wanted to try out some cooler-hued recipes for future projects, and undead models are the perfect canvas for that. Skeletons, in particular, are some of the most relaxing minis to paint, as the sculpts...
Hi everyone, here's a Bounty Hunter painting guide for you!
I wanted to try painting some copper NMM using a technique similar to the one I showed you in the Gunnar Lundmark tutorial, and this is the result. Evil Red continues to prove its worth as a shading color—I'd love to have it as a pr...
Hey everyone! Here’s a painting guide for the Shikami from Infinity the Game.
With Operation Sandtrap and the new edition of the game on the horizon, I’ve really been fighting the urge to paint some JSA minis. Well, obviously, I’ve failed since I painted this guy!
While working on this, I started thinking, “Hey, maybe painting an army of these wouldn’t be too ba...

Another MCP Painting Guide, this time for Rogue's X-Men Legacy era costume.
I’ve finally found a suitable substitute for Doombull Brown in my skin mixes, which is perfect timing since my pot is starting to dry out and GW has been making some stealthy changes to their acrylic paint range.
Enjoy the guide, and thank you for your support!

Hi all!
Here’s a guide for the O-12 studio color scheme. I’ve been looking at the Torchlight Brigade recently and decided to put this guide together while waiting for the new Ajax to arrive for my Steel Phalanx collection.
The end result is slightly warmer than the studio minis since I used purples and yellows for the shading and highlights, but the saturation will help them stan...
Here’s the painting guide for Gabrielle Kinney, aka Honey Badger—a clone of Wolverine's clone.
I’m sorry for the delay on this one, folks—I accidentally broke the miniature more than halfway through the process and had to start over with a fresh print.
AK 3rd Gen yellows continue to be fantastic for achieving vibrant tones with excellent coverage, so I highly recommend pick...

Painting Guide for one of the Titanforge Vampire Lords.
This guy has been sitting on my desk for a while as I've been going back and forth on the color scheme forever. Finally settled on mostly cold colors, and I have to say, I'm liking how it turned out. Thinking of using the same scheme for some grave guard to go with him— if time and motivation allows.
Thanks, as always, for...

Phew! Finally done!
Here's the painting guide for the Ancestor's Wrath. These bigger Votann minis are similar to Space Marines but with 50 times more panels that need outlining!
Overall, a cool mini to paint, and I'm very pleased with the result now that it's on the base. I hope you all enjoy the guide, and as always, if you've got any questions about this mini, feel free to ask.
Hey everyone
I'm nearly done with the guide for the Ancestor's Wrath. Still have to apply some decals and then see how it looks with the base. Once that's done I'll decide whether to add some additional weathering to the armor.
The tutorial should be up in a few days.
Here's the painting guide for Maisie!

Hey everyone, got a couple of things to share with you.
First up, I've just finished painting Maisie from Unit09's Shock Team set, which I'm planning to use her as another HVT/Civilian for my Infinity games. When painting this mini, I really wanted to put focus on balancing red and green color contrast. I'm almost done with the...
Hey everyone,
One spilled bottle of yellow ink later, and the guide for the HEF Protector is done!
This guide uses a pretty small amount of paints and was mainly an experiment in using a limited palette of purple/blue and yellow/orange complimentary tones.
If I were to adjust the process for squad painting, I think the armor would start with Warm Grey and shade down using the ...
Hi everyone!
I thought I'd share the test piece I'm working on for the next guide. Have you ever been really excited to paint something but didn't have a solid color scheme in mind even after starting? That's what happened with this mini.
The white armor was the first thing that I was satisfied with, and then I tried to build the rest of the scheme around that. I went through severa...

Here's the painting guide for Gunnar!
I think you guys will enjoy the NMM Gold Recipe in this one. Most yellow pigmented colors have poor coverage and just don't flow off the brush that well, which can make painting smaller details frustrating. But I think I've found a way to get around that.
I'll definitely be experimenting more to see what other paint combos can be used with th...
Hi all,
I've been working on this Dire Foes Infinity mini for an upcoming guide. I used some reds I passed on while making the Blood Angels guide and now I think I definitely should do something else with red armor using these paints.
I've also been thinking about what I want to paint next, and right now I'm bouncing between painting some LotR and Old World stuff because I need ...
Here's the painting guide for Logan! :)
Hey everyone!
Next guide coming a little sooner than usuaI.
I didn't realize how few minis I paint that just have "regular clothes" until I was working on this Logan mini for MCP. Seemed like the perfect opportunity to test some denim recipes.
Since I ended up finishing the mini much faster than I expected to, I think I'll be able to get an additional guide done this month.
Painting Guide for the Blood Angels Company Champion is complete. This is a long one at 46 pages!
If you need me to explain anything further don't hesitate to ask either here or on Discord.
Hope you all enjoy and thanks for your support!

Painting is done and the write-up is underway! Thinking about how to paint that sword killed more brain cells than it should have but I really like the result we ended up with.
Guide should be up tomorrow!
Happy New Year everyone! Hope it's been treating you all well so far.
I'm painting a Blood Angel Company Champion for the first guide of the year. Despite them being my favorite Space Marine chapter/legion, it's kind of criminal how few of them I've painted during my hobby journey— so it's time to change that!
But another cool thing I want to show you guys is the mini in the s...
Here's the painting guide for this Cleric/Nun. There are so many fantastic minis in this range, and I'm eager to paint more of them. I may explore replicating this brass armor with true metallic paint in a future tutorial.
Hope you enjoy! And thanks for your support!

I've been feeling in the mood to paint some fantasy minis after looking at some of the recent Cities of Sigmar stuff from AoS. But I didn't really want to go out and get a box of those just to scratch the itch so I painted this Cleric instead!
Guide should be up tomorrow.
Here you go, PDF for the original core box Captain Marvel from Marvel Crisis Protocol.
Painting something that isn't covered in details is really refreshing. If you're aiming to practice light and shadow placement I highly recommend working on something like this.
Anyway, if you need clarification about anything in painting process that isn't covered by the guide, feel free to d...
