WAR: Painting Your Miniatures

How many of you still have that unopened box with your Warhammer Online Collector's Edition miniatures? If you've been wondering how to paint it, Mythic Entertainment has the guide for you. Look inside to see the full assembly and painting process, from start to finish.

Paint does not stick very well to bare metal, so we use a primer spray to give the paint something to adhere to. Spray outdoors and in a dry area that is sheltered from the wind then leave it in a well ventilated area to dry. I’ve undercoated my figure white but many people prefer to start with a black undercoat—it’s purely a matter of personal preference. A black undercoat will tend to produce a darker final effect while a white undercoat results in a brighter, crisper paint job.
