So now I'm going to have hundreds of Kickstarter miniatures, but don't like to paint. What can I do to get them painted quickly and easily? Here are some starting ideas, but I'd like the community's assistance:
- Spraypaint them a base color (use acrylic, matte, non-enamel):
- - -
Flesh: zombies, pirates, anyone showing a lot of skin,
- - -
Green: swamp things, marilith, medusa, goblins, Cthulhu
- - -
Black: anything you plan to drybrush - dungeon dressing, anyone in metal armor, NOVA, IMEF Marines, Dark elves (skip the dip step below and instead drybrush grey or metallic)
- - -
Brown: Owlbear, griffon, vermin, Chronoscope, Townsfolk, animals, rust monster, kobolds, anyone wearing leather
- - - Leave white: skeletons, mummies, cloud giants
- Use
colored sharpies to add a few details to
small areas.
Metallic sharpies (often used for marking wine bottles) could be used for weapons and small metal bits
-
Dip them in MinWax Polyshades
Satin Tudor (360) - Superglue them to
these bases (or
Litko,
GW,
Wargames foundry or
Wooden Circles).
