Darker areas should be a bit blueish

yeah, but you see, i'm not nearly as good as you

i can't use the fancy schmancy techniques

That depends on how well you manage watered down paint. You can alter the color of the wash as you apply it

you can also try to add a layer of very watered down paint to add a bit of color to some areas

how bout these

i know i fucked up on the shoulders

The weapons are actually the part that displeases me the most, quite flat

One thing is rusty weapons

Another one, 100% brown ones

completely agree

but these figures tortured me

a lot of stuff went wrong at the start

so i finished em up real quick

For quick finish of some kinds of miniatures, consider chipping medium, or pigments

what would the chipping medium do?

It works this way:

You first paint with a base of rust-color paint

Then you apply a layer of chipping medium (usually with airbrush)

Then you paint with the normal paint

Then you slightly rub with a brush, and bits of paint will chip off

Can you apply chipping medium with a brush as a last resort?

yeah got a broken airbrush

happened during the orks

I don't really know if a brush can be applied

greenstuffworld sells lots of products for having fancy miniatures in a minimal time, that is their audience

yeah this looks really good

thanks mate

There is one thing you must consider

For speed painting, you must study what are the few strategic high precision clean strokes you will need

washes and fry brushing are not enough at times

i'm not trying to speedpaint per se, i'm just trying to get em painted to a level i like without taking a week per mini

i have a very big backlog

including a 1500 point dark eldar army

and skaven

lots of skaven

Well of course, that is just a different motivation

oh and slaaneshi demons, but i paint those up real quick

i am trying to speedpaint the skaven though
