Watch as a dude who's pretty awful at painting toy soldiers tries to act like he's not that awful at painting toy soldiers. Expect trashy Vampires, dumbass Guardsmen, and too many conversions. Steel yourself, it might be a bit messy. Mannfred did nothing wrong.

First section of a Bretonnian Christmas Crusaders project made using Fireforge Games Men at Arms models. Aside from the metallics, skin tones, and leather in the helmets, these were exclusively painted with Citadel Contrast Paints as an experiment and exercise. #miniatures #miniaturepainting #fireforgegames #bretonnia #warhammer #warhammerfantasy #ageofsigmar #wargaming #citadelpaints #contrastpaints https://www.instagram.com/p/B23ajYjnA7-/?igshid=nrwes9w9pwuy

At the behest of a friend, I painted a few tanks for TANKS! in a quick and dirty fashion. Basecoat, drybrush, details, decals, panel lining, done. Nothing special, nothing fancy. #miniaturepainting #miniatures #tank #gf9 #galeforce9 #ww2 #tamiya #vallejopaints #vallejo #wargaming #weathering #tanks #painting #gaming https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz3WYbVn8gFKOxwadX0T9CXJdTO36eQUkSw8Pc0/?igshid=1olzzl1qu56p0

This was painted for the Miniac quarterly painting challenge, which required me to paint a bust. I got lucky and found a bust of Cortana, meaning I could continue to postpone learning how to paint skin tones. #wargaming #halo #halofleetbattles #bust #painting #miniatures #miniaturepainting #cortana #hologram https://www.instagram.com/p/BzXV7gZpa0VwET6lJfvpJ3sHnZ7XZeOPJs3ttY0/?igshid=1k3c55izcin9

I think I waited a little longer than I should have to remember there's other skin that should probably have been the same color since I started. Oh, and at some point I dropped her and the arm snapped off. Whoops. Clara Leoncoeur, Vampire Leader for Mordheim Undead warband. Step 5: adding "skin tones" to the neck, collorbone, and midriff sections. Tried and somewhat succeeded at adding a low highlight to the midriff skin for what good that will do. Added a spot of black paint to imitate black lipstick on finely pursed lips. #miniaturepainting #miniatures #miniatureart #reaperminiatures #pathfinder #paizo #mordheim #vampire #undead #tabletop #tabletopgames #warcolours #vallejo #vallejopaints https://www.instagram.com/p/ByLERVKJEgvY6bZNMSbQPcRcMdYIpBk8JKvNBQ0/?igshid=fo8dtgac2vjo

Took about eight tries, but the eyes actually look a little like eyes now. Clara Leoncoeur, Vampire Leader for Mordheim Undead warband. Step 4: blocking in a red-orange-yellow transition on each eyeball, ringing it with black to imitate eyeliner/mascara, and adding a slit pupil, none of which I think I could have done while retaining any sanity if I hadn't had a Raphael in hand. #miniaturepainting #miniatures #miniatureart #reaperminiatures #pathfinder #paizo #mordheim #vampire #undead #tabletop #tabletopgames #warcolours #vallejo #vallejopaints #raphaelbrushes https://www.instagram.com/p/ByLDvT0pU6s3sZp4hiYJzfYiLFe76RHP_XUMeg0/?igshid=wzzopk7frmkk

In a world filled with magic and fantastical races, I still imagine a smoothly blended partial hair dye will be night impossible. I kinda dig the blockier look anyways. Clara Leoncoeur, Vampire Leader for Mordheim Undead warband. Step 3: heavily glazing blues and blacks into the hair to imitate hair dye, hoping this would provide some separation from the face. #miniaturepainting #miniatures #miniatureart #reaperminiatures #pathfinder #paizo #mordheim #vampire #undead #tabletop #tabletopgames #warcolours #vallejo #vallejopaints https://www.instagram.com/p/ByLClGLpX7QfWUjUf0IpCNacIO8B7aYaIL8sPI0/?igshid=1ibn4qcxomph3

It was at this point I realized I began confusing friends and family by mentioning I'd been watching makeup tutorials. Mentioning they were for a tiny face didn't help. This was my first crack at using Warcolours. Clara Leoncoeur, Vampire Leader for Mordheim Undead warband. Step 2: glazing blues and whites into the face to imitate contouring, glazing white into hair to add drastic highlight to imitate sheen and add visual interest. #miniaturepainting #miniatures #miniatureart #reaperminiatures #pathfinder #paizo #mordheim #vampire #undead #tabletop #tabletopgames #warcolours #vallejo #vallejopaints https://www.instagram.com/p/ByLBzl8JCMReSEW_rcTCn9L7sOnLFWMg5CsSPo0/?igshid=1lyt1ml7bvx7j

I need a repository for my projects as I go along so I don't clog up my phone. It'll be some sort of journey and I'm taking you assholes with me. Enjoy. Clara Leoncoeur, Vampire Leader for Mordheim Undead warband.

Tiny bit of work on some Lord of the Rings Dwarves. Figuring out how Warcolours Transparent paints work, primarily, and I can say I'm loving them thus far. #miniaturepainting #miniatures #miniatureart #gw #gamesworkshop #lotr #lordoftherings #warcolours #figurepainting #wargaming #tabletopgames #tabletop #dwarf https://www.instagram.com/p/ByL56aqJPX2SLo6-LyNPgHJhRELHhjyutnTnAA0/?igshid=1hmz2qr1a19xm

Several different stages of work on a big ol' pile of gold and treasure because I don't know what else would be more appropriate for a Dwarf objective marker. https://www.instagram.com/p/ByL46JCJ26mskVc7GUYx_qP01DGrPqBqK-1wfo0/?igshid=1hu60u1m394yq
