Speedpainting Ogre Minis Tutorial #2
This is a tutorial that doesn’t use an airbrush. 25 minis in 105 minutes.

Re: Speedpainting Ogre Minis Tutorial #2
Amazing.
Might be a good idea to repeat the formula for magic black wash. Do you have a goal for overall army size? |

I haven’t set any goals for army size. Frankly, the price of Ogre minis is so ridiculously reasonable (thank you) that I’ll probably just keep adding models and trying new techniques and paint schemes. This particular tutorial was for ColBosch - it doesn’t use an airbrush. I’m gonna try to do a set that takes 3 minutes or less per model at some point. We’ll see about that... |

Re: Speedpainting Ogre Minis Tutorial #2
Thanks! Next set I do, I'll time each step and see how my technique measures up to yours. I suspect that mine takes longer, due to the multiple drybrush stages, but I really like having the sharp highlights.

Re: Speedpainting Ogre Minis Tutorial #2
Interestingly, your drybrush techniques have intrigued me. They really produce good looking minis. I think I’ll try them on the next batch I paint.

Re: Speedpainting Ogre Minis Tutorial #2
Not to hijack, but my preferred wash is Fiebing's black shoe leather dye, diluted about 85 or 90% in denatured alcohol. I suspect it would play heck with acrylic paints before they are hard cured though.

But I digress. tbeard, I'm going to finish up a few pieces later today, then I'll do a speedpainting session with a bunch of my metal Combine minis. I've combined the units from Deluxe Ogre with three expansion sets and a Ral Partha blister pack, giving me 35 conventional units, 7 three-squad infantry stands, 3 two-squad infantry, 3 one-squad infantry, 6 cargo pallets, and three Ogres (one each, Mk. I to Mk. III). They're all getting a green-on-green camo scheme based on the Cold War NATO MERDC "Summer Verdant" pattern. |

Re: Speedpainting Ogre Minis Tutorial #2
OMG, THANK you, tbeard! This is exactly what I need. My friend needed an airbrush for his new work as a model-maker for Imagineering, so I gave him mine and the compressor since he was already used to using it. Frankly, I was simply having too much trouble controlling the double-action.
But this! If I can achieve even half the speed and half the good painting result, I will be a very happy camper. Thanks again!

And yeah, I struggle with a double action airbrush as well. |

Airbrushed camo schemes look great, but generally aren't realistic at most scales. Most real camo on armored vehicles has sharp edges between colors.
