Contrast Painting Tutorial: Poxwalkers / Infected

[@MrStabby19812]

Wow fantastic. I hit my pile of shame and have about 30 pox walkers built. This will save my sanity lol.

[@tabletopandgaming]

Hey guys! I hope this is useful, it's my first go at painting some 40k minis on camera and fell in love with these gross guys!! Paints used are as follows; [Contrast] Wraithbone, Guilliman Flesh, Volupus Pink, Plaguebearer Flesh, Gryph-Charger Organge, Snakebite Leather, Black Templar & Basilicanum Grey. [Drybrush] Ushabti Bone, Leadbelcher.

you did not put in the Contrast paint in Skeleton hord in what paints you hade when painting

[@justinstacy5439]

@@darksigge9495 think skeleton horde replaces wraithbone cause I didn't see that used in the tutorial

[@Chairpersuite]

Wraithbones a base paint

[@simonjohansson7175]

Used this metod to paint around 50 Poxwalkers, works wonders. Thanks for the video

[@a.wilson4809]

Damn it. Wish I'd seen this before I spent so much time painting mine to a lower standard ! Love how clean these guys look and the contrast paint really helps preserve the details.

[@rockkiller124]

I'll be using this method to paint my 10 poxwalkers

[@oliverbrown8242]

What a beaut of a painting demo. Love it

[@Zombane]

I'm using this guide to paint my 30 Poxwalkers. I was dreading painting them but now I'm kind of looking forward to it. I don't tend to use contrast paints all that much, but this is a great use case for them. Thank you for the guide. You have my sub!

[@tabletopandgaming]

Thank you! 😊

[@bostin316]

Im not much ofa player , i enjoy the painting more , really enjoyed these painting tutorials thank you , hope to see more in the future

[@Khrist75]

Thank you very much for this useful tutorial...:-). Now i can start my own poxwalkers.

[@harpymaslow]

Awesome result for the time spent. Love contrast paints. Great video

[@Naim_less]

Wow thanks for this! I have like...60+ Poxwalkers to paint, so this will help it go much faster!

[@tabletopandgaming]

Best of luck! 😊

[@crustythewanksock2413]

These videos have helped inspire me to give painting another go. Thank you!

[@n0slava]

Fantastic job! Easy, simple and fast painting. Thanks for tutorial!

[@Basic0-0]

very useful thanks for the tutorial

[@Hello-1814]

Wow! This looks great!

[@MaxHoughton1312]

I’m gonna use this for my DG army it looks great I must say

[@MaxHoughton1312]

Back a year later and I can say all 40 of my poxwalkers are painted like this and look wonderful

[@seriousmike5649]

Thanks a lot for the video! I am about to replicate this!

[@tp6498]

Really interesting technique. 👍and I subscribed. I've got like...4 editions of zombicide I've been putting of painting because I'm just no good at it. Its discouraging because when I watch miniature painting tutorials here on youtube the miniatures being painted never look as mini as they do when I'm holding them in my hand, squinting like crazy to try and see details that I need to paint. And no matter how small a brush I use, I always seem to splatter paint all over the place like a sailor swabbing the deck with a wet mop lol. Thanks again for your videos and take care.

[@tabletopandgaming]

Good luck! Let us know how you get on!

[@iancw1]

These are great! Do you have an online gallery at all of other poxwalkers you have painted?

[@tabletopandgaming]

Thanks! Leave it with me and I'll see if I can take some pics of them this weekend and pop them on our instagram!

[@kryssygaming09]

hey I was wondering how much of a difference would it be for me to use white scars spray instead of wraithbone? im thinking of spraying white scars and using agrax earthshade on the flesh to give it a more darker and warmer tone before applying the contrast flesh paints but I dont know if thats a good idea.

[@tabletopandgaming]

Should be fine mate, very little difference between them.

[@SuperEvilMonkee]

Looks more like Grey Seer for the undercoat?

[@tabletopandgaming]

Just the light boxes mate, it's wraithbone.

[@SuperEvilMonkee]

@@tabletopandgaming cheers for the confirmation

[@valeriacorrales4312]

Amazing paint!, plague marines not look very good but this guys are incredibles

[@tabletopandgaming]

Thank you!

[@AccurateIdiote]

Would you recommend the bone dry brush on a regular Plague Marine? Or do you already have a Contrast tutorial on Plague Marines?

[@tabletopandgaming]

Hi there, one is on it's way this month! Check out the community tab on the channel for an example mini! :)

[@vaindead9335]

Can you make a tutorial for plaque marines?

[@tabletopandgaming]

Sure I've got a couple knocking around! :)

[@orkusdorkusmaximus]

using he same paints out of the pot the skin tone is much darker are you thinning the colors?

[@tabletopandgaming]

Hi there, no thinning here it's straight from the pot. Perhaps give the pot a really good shake or load less on the brush and ensure that you are spreading it thin? If that doesn't help then maybe its a dodgy pot and you can use the contrast medium to thin. Hope it helps!

[@krylonking420s]

Any idea why when I paint Guillimen flesh on my miniature it comes out really dark? Should I mix with water? I’ve been applying straight out of the bottle? Any help is appreciated!! Thank you!!

[@tabletopandgaming]

Hi there, general things that might help; Good shake before use Mix with contrast medium before use (on pallete) Only use a thin amount when applying. See if any of those help! If not then it might be a dodgy batch!

[@FrayedBristles]

I tried doing my poxwalkers like this but holy crap my pink was way more pigmented than yours. Did you water it down at all? What am I doing wrong?

[@tabletopandgaming]

Ahh no sorry to hear that! No watering down in the vid but if you have a weirdly strong batch perhaps use some of the contrast medium to thin it after a good shake? Avoid thinning contrasts with water as it starts to behave weird.

[@julienlejeune2841]

Did you varnish them?

[@tabletopandgaming]

Always good to protect contrast paintjobs, I use Testors Dullcoat

[@elviraKEB]

15 -20 minutes paint time per model?

[@francescochessari1150]

I see Ushbanti Bone for dry... not Ulthuan, or I'm wrong? BTW Great video, I suppose the best use of Contrast on the tube atm...

[@tabletopandgaming]

Good spot, I've changed the pinned comment with the correction!

[@alliga91]

Can You make a tutorial for flat surfaces like power armors? 🤓

[@tabletopandgaming]

I'll look into giving it a go! From what I've heard the contrast's aren't suited for flat surfaces!

[@richardcarcione1117]

Hey idk if my comment will reach you but I tried using contrast and its not coming out perfect like yours its all like blotchy

[@tabletopandgaming]

Hi there, this can happen for a variety of reasons with the main one being mold release agent or oils on the mini before priming. If it's resin or metal consider washing before painting. If it's plastic - try a wash with a shade paint and see if that does the same. You might have a dodgy batch of paint. Hope it's fixable!

[@PsychicalTraumaPL]

Great tutorial, nice and simple :-) Hope You don't mind that I shared this video on DG group that I'm in? ;-)

[@tabletopandgaming]

Not at all, thank you! 😊

[@liamrossnoble]

im a couple of hours away from trying this on my first ever minis....

[@tabletopandgaming]

Let us know how you get on!!

[@liamrossnoble]

@@tabletopandgaming well for startees my primed mini doesn't look solid whote like yours. Despite aiming bursts where needed, their hard to reach places are barely covered XD (I think due to only having outside soace to spray and it being windy + I'm totally new) Will reply with finiahed reuslt when the time comes!

[@liamrossnoble]

@@tabletopandgaming can confirm this video ia Amazing for helping new painters finish poxwalkers quickly to a good standard

[@tabletopandgaming]

@@liamrossnoble Glad it worked well for you! Also don't worry about how my primer looked, that's the overhead lamp making it look more white than it is!! :)

[@mrmeseas1225]

Man you make this look ezy haha

[@mrmeseas1225]

Im consistantly getting the results i want with the wrong damn tones haha
