Tips for Using Spray Guns

March 2013·p. 116

THE SHORT VERSION

Inspired by Dave Roberts’ army, Dan tries spraying a yellow basecoat on his Imperial Fists. The guide focuses on small tests, controlled dilution and checking whether paint flows through the feed tube. Adjusting the nozzle changes the coverage from a single figure to a larger group. A successful spare model becomes the signal to line up the rest of the unit, with no specific yellow product named.

Plague Drones of Nurgle

The Studio Hobby Team identifies the principal colours on its new Plague Drones. Putrid greens keep the riders recognisably Nurgle, while pale flesh and beige distinguish their enormous mounts. Dark wings and contrasting limbs separate the main surfaces without losing the diseased overall effect. This is a colour-reference breakdown rather than a complete ordered recipe.

Burning Chariot of Tzeentch

The studio chariot combines differently coloured daemonic bodies, metallic fittings and flames. Deep red fire suggests soot and ash rather than requiring a conventional bright flame sequence. The varied surfaces make it a useful project for trying different painting techniques. Named colour references identify the Flamer, Horrors, Screamers, disc and metalwork without presenting every intermediate stage.

Skull Cannon of Khorne

Black machinery and red Bloodletters tie the Skull Cannon to the studio’s other Khornate models. Bronze metalwork supplies a third major material without competing with the crew. Painting the Bloodletters separately preserves access to both figures and chassis. The team recommends pinning the crew temporarily so they can be held securely while their basecoat and details are applied.
