So, I'm always out looking for things that can help other people enter into the hobby of tabletop gaming more easily, and when a friend of mine bought into Warhammer 40,000 with a Start Collecting Skitarii box the other day, it got me thinking where to point him to get things painted.
The first thing that came to mind was the Youtube Channel, Warhammer TV. Its the official channel of Games Workshop, and they have videos on new releases, game play-throughs, and a lot of other things. But the thing I return to the site the most for is the paint tutorials. The tutorials on the channel aren't for expert paint jobs, but for the beginner who has no idea where to start, or how to paint their favorite color scheme for their favorite army. They work you up through some of most basic paint jobs up into some intermediate level things, like mixing medium with colored paints to emulate blending.
For myself, I don't learn a lot from the videos other than new paint schemes, but I find that as I listen to Duncan and Emma describe the process of painting a miniature, I'm galvanised in my drive to get my miniature done. Honestly, most of the miniatures I've finished lately have been because I've been listening to those two. So, go ahead and give it a try, and see if Warhammer TV and the paint tutorials don't inspire some new works from you.
That's all I've got for today, and see you again soon.
