Streaking Grime Test

Both projects have in common that I want to do them in a sort of Grimdark aesthetic, and so I decided to play around with Streaking Grime. To make sure I don’t ruin the big projects though, a test is necessary.
I’ve had this 3D-printed General Grievous (courtesy of Kiki - thanks Kiki) lying around for a while, and it’s a good test model. The fact that it’s 3D-printed is a positive, as the details are less crisp than with Legion or Shatterpoint models. This will put Streaking Grime’s capabilities to the test, and I’ll see if it flows into the somewhat superficial recesses as well as oils or other washes. First I gave the model a few quick base coats, as well as a coat of matte varnish.
Then I used a cheap synthetic brush to cover the whole model in the Streaking Grime. I left this for 15 minutes.
Recently I found some nice makeup remover brushes at DM, that doesn’t leave any cotton hair on my model as Q-tips tend to do. So I covered one side of this makeup remover with Enamel Odourless Thinner, and left the other side dry. I started with the dry side, removing the surface layer of Streaking Grime from the top parts of the model. Then I used the side with the thinner to remove more Streaking Grime. Eventually I used the same cheap, synthetic brush dipped in the Odourless thinner, to remove even more Grime from the hard to reach places. After just a few minutes of removing the enamel, I had this:
I like how the Streaking Grime washes and weathers my model in one coat, and the tint it gives to colours, especially beiges tones, appeal to me. After a few quick, simple edge highlights, I had this result:
Except for basing and the lightsabers, it’s pretty much finished. All in all this model took me under two hours of painting, and I’ve decided I like the result. I’m going to be using this technique again in my two upcoming projects. Another article with updates on the progress on my Skeleton diorama will follow soon.
" ["content_hrv"]=> string(3324) "Trenutačno planiram dva veća projekta - prvo dioramu koja uključuje malo preuređenog Mortisan Boneshaper iz frakcije Ossiarch Bonereapers Age of Sigmar koji podiže hrpu kosture iz njihovih grobova, a kao drugo moj vlastiti preuređen crew za igru Forbidden Psalm. Oba projekta imaju zajedničko to što ih želim raditi u nekoj vrsti Grimdark estetike pa sam odlučio poigrati se sa Streaking Grimeom. Kako bih bio siguran da neću uništiti velike projekte, test je bio neophodan.
Ovaj 3D isprintani general Grievous (hvala Kiki) ležao je neko vrijeme, stoga je postao dobar testni model. Činjenica da je ispisan 3D je pozitivna, jer su detalji manje oštri nego s modelima Legion ili Shatterpoint. To će dobro testirati metodu sa Streaking Grimea i vidjet ću hoće li se slijevati u udubine kao i ulja ili druga sredstva za pranje. Prvo sam modelu nanio nekoliko brzih temeljnih slojeva, kao i sloj mat laka.
Zatim sam jeftinim sintetičkim kistom pokrio cijeli model u Streaking Grime. ostavio sam da se suši 15 minuta.
Nedavno sam u DM-u našao lijepe kistove za skidanje šminke, koji ne ostavljaju dlake od pamuka. a što metoda sa štapićima za uši ima tendenciju učiniti. Stoga sam jednu stranu ovog sredstva za skidanje šminke prekrio Enamel Odourless Thinnerom, a drugu stranu ostavio suhom. Počeo sam sa suhom stranom, uklanjajući površinski sloj Streaking Grime s gornjih dijelova modela. Zatim sam upotrijebio stranu s razrjeđivačem uklanjajući višak Streaking Grime. Na kraju sam upotrijebio isti jeftini, sintetički kist umočen u Odourless Thinner, a uklanjanje još više prljavštine s teško dostupnih mjesta. Nakon samo nekoliko minuta skidanja ovo je bio rezultat:
Sviđa mi se kako Streaking Grime pere i njeguje moj model u jednom sloju i nijansu koju daje, posebno bež tonovi. Nakon nekoliko brzih, jednostavnih isticanja rubova, dobio sam ovo:
Osim baze i svjetlosnih mačeva, prilično je gotovo. Sve u svemu ovaj model me oduševio dva sata bojanja i odlučio sam da mi se sviđa rezultat. Ponovno ću koristiti ovu tehniku u moja dva nadolazeća projekta. Još jedan članak s novostima o napretku moje diorame s kosturom slijedi uskoro.

In this game, our Ana, the organizer of TURM, introduces two more members, Mario and Domagoj, to the charm of this inspiring game!
ANA: In this demo game of the game Forbidden Psalm, Mario and Domagoj clashed. They used my two warbands: Mario played the Undeadites and Domagoj the Cannibals. The objective of this skirmish was to kill the necromancer sorcerer and his retinue of reanimated skeletons, before the opponent could do so.
DOMAGOJ: Our association's veteran Ana Polascak hosted Mario and me at a demonstration game of Forbidden Psalm. She was kind enough to give us the playing fields and miniatures, and guide us through the rules. Be sure to take a look at the Gardens of Hecate to get a better insight into her work.
The game itself blew me away! It is a small-format tabletop strategy game (skirmish game), which can be played solo or with several players. Each player controls a group of 5 miniatures, and the games are fast and dynamic enough that it is easy to agree on the organization.
The rules provide considerable freedom in the creation and coloring of miniatures, and are an excellent creative outlet for any hobbyist.
Mario was an excellent teammate and the game passed with a lot of laughs, even when I pulled unsportsmanlike moves.
MARIO: An extremely fun skirmish game, the possibilities of modifying figures and settings are just an introduction to surprisingly deep gameplay. There aren't many rules, but they are open enough that, with the right opponent, a lot of fun situations can happen.
Domagoj was a fun and relaxed opponent, and Ana's excellent figures and terrain inspired me to put together a warband.

Nastavljamo sa pripremama za našu tradicionalnu Agram Arenu Summer – TURM2024 demo partijama Forbidden Psalma, igre koja će se igrati u srpnju na Areni. U ovoj partiji, naša Ana, organizatorica TURMa, uvodi još dvojicu članova, Maria i Domagoja u draži ove inspirativne igre!
ANA: U ovoj demo partiji igre Forbidden Psalm sukobili su se Mario i Domagoj. Koristili su moja dva warbanda: Mario je igrao the Undeadites, a Domagoj the Cannibals. Cilj ovog okršaja bio je ubiti čarobnjaka nekromanta i njegovu svitu reanimiranih kostura, prije nego to stigne učiniti protivnik.
DOMAGOJ: Nasa veteranka udruge Ana Polascak ugostila je Maria i mene na pokaznoj igri Forbidden Psalma. Bila je dovoljno ljubazna da nam ustupi terene i minijature za igru, te nas vodi kroz pravila. Svakako bacite oko na Gardens of Hecate da dobijete bolji uvid u njen rad.
Sama igra me odusevila! Rijec o stolno strateskoj igri manjeg formata (skirmish game), koja se moze igrati solo ili u vise igraca. Svaki igrac kontrolira grupu od 5 minijatura, te su partije dovoljno brze i dinamicne da je lako dogovoriti se oko organizacije.
Pravila pruzaju znacajnu slobodu oko izrade i bojanja minijatura, te su odlican kreativni outlet za svakog hobista.
Mario je bio izvrstan suigrac i partija je prosla uz mnogo smjeha, cak i u trenucima kada sam povlacio nesportske poteze.
MARIO: Izuzetno zabavna skirmish igra, mogućnosti modifikacije figura i setting su tek uvod u iznenađujuće dubok gameplay. Nema puno pravila, ali su dovoljno otvorena da se, s pravim protivnikom, može dogoditi hrpa zabavnih situacija.
Domagoj je bio zabavan i opušten suparnik, a Anine odlične figure i teren su me inspirirali da i ja složim warband.

HOW TO SPEED PAINT AN ARMY FOR A TOURNAMENT
array(2) { ["Article"]=> array(10) { ["id"]=> string(3) "376" ["member_id"]=> string(2) "35" ["title_eng"]=> string(43) "HOW TO SPEED PAINT AN ARMY FOR A TOURNAMENT" ["title_hrv"]=> string(33) "BRZO BOJANJE MINIJATURA ZA TURNIR" ["mask_eng"]=> string(43) "how_to_speed_paint_an_army_for_a_tournament" ["mask_hrv"]=> string(33) "brzo_bojanje_minijatura_za_turnir" ["content_eng"]=> string(7243) "Marko Paunović, 26th March 2024This time I'll do a quick step by step tutorial on how to speed paint minis for an upcoming tournament. Using the method described below, I managed to paint the whole Dwarf army for Lord of the Rings SBG in under a week. I'll be using the old Citadel paints nomenclature because the minis were painted when the original models were just released. I had to paint them quickly because the minis were released in May and my tournament was in July so after purchasing them online I waited for the minis to arrive for a better part of a month and by the time I got them there was only one week until the tournament.
After assembling the minis on the bases, I undercoated them black and basecoated the cloaks with Bestial Brown and a quick wash of Badab Black (back then it was called something else).
For the future red parts I used Dark Flesh, for the blue ones I used Enchanted Blue, white parts were covered with Codex Grey. Yellow bits were basecoated with Vomit Brown while the off white parts were coated with Graveyard Earth.
Red parts were highlighted with Blood Red and a final highlight of Fiery Orange. Blue parts were highlighted with a mixture of Enchanted Blue and Skull White (approximately 50:50) and the final highlight was a 25:75 mixture of the same colours. Yellow bits were highlighted with Golden Yellow and Sunburst Yellow. The white was done with a layer of Fortress Grey and a layer of pure Skull White. Leather was painted with a layer of Vermin Brown that was then washed with Devlan Mud (called something else at the time). The off white was painted with a mixture of Graveyard Earth and Bleached Bone.
The silver parts were painted Boltgun Metal with a Mithril Silver highlight, while the golden bits (beltbuckles and axe handles) were done with Tin Bitz, then a layer of Shining Gold and A highlight of Burnished Gold.
The bows were pretty simple to paint. Just a basecoat of Bestian Brown with a Badab Black wash and a highlight of Graveyard Earth. I made sure the Graveyard Earth was really diluted for the highlight.
I decided to have two types of hair. One would be brownish the other reddish. The gingers were done on a Dark Flesh basecoat followed by a Badab Black wash. Highlights were done with Blood Red and Bomit Brown. The brunettes were acchieved with a Bestial Brown basecoat followed by a Devlan Mud wash with Vomit Brown highlights.
The basecoat for the skin was Dark Flesh which was then covered entirely with Dwarf Flesh followed with Ogryn Flesh (back then it was called Flesh Wash, I believe). The final highlights were Elf Flesh.
On top of the Bestial Brown/Badab Black coat from step 1, I put some pure Bestial Brown. Then I made a mixture of Bestial Brown and Graveyard Earth followed by a highlight of pure Graveyard Earth. The extreme highlight was done with diluted mixture of Graveyard Earth and Bleached Bone.
The aplication of varnish marked the end of the painting process and I still had to do the bases.
I removed all the miniatures from the bases by carefully cutting them away using a scalpel blade.
I am fortunate enough that the town I live in is situated on the sloaps of a hill that has lots of slate. So aquiring real slate is not difficult. I pinned all the minis to a piece of slate each.
Using one kind of gravel/sand (roughy the size of GF9 Medium Grit Sand), I covered all the bases. Once the texture was dry, I painted it black then drybrushed it Bestian Brown and added a highlight of Bleached Bone. When all was dry, I glued the minis attached to their pieces of slate on each base using PVA glue.
I added two types of vegetation: tufts (that I made from 5-7mm long static grass) and pure static grass (2-3mm long). I glued them using PVA glue. In the end I did the black lining on the sides of the bases.

Ovaj put ću napraviti brzi vodič korak po korak o tome kako ubrzati bojanje minijatura za nadolazeći turnir. Koristeći dolje opisanu metodu, uspio sam obojati cijelu vojsku patuljaka za LOTR SBG u manje od tjedan dana. Koristit ću staru nomenklaturu boja za Citadelu jer su miniji bili obojani kad su originalni modeli tek izašli. Morao sam ih brzo bojati jer su miniji iazšli u svibnju, a moj turnir je bio u srpnju, pa sam nakon što sam ih kupio online čekao da miniji stignu veći dio mjeseca, a do trenutka kada sam ih dobio bio je samo tjedan dana do turnira.
Nakon što sam sklopio figure na baze, premazao sam ih crnom bojom, a ogrtače premazao Bestial Brown bojom i brzim washem Badab Black boje (tada se to drugačije zvalo).
Za buduće crvene dijelove sam koristio Dark Flesh, za plave sam koristio Enchanted Blue, bijele dijelove sam prekrio Codex Grey. Žuti dijelovi su premazani bazom Vomit Brown dok su prljavo bijeli dijelovi premazani Graveyard Earth.
Crveni dijelovi istaknuti su krvavo crvenom bojom i završnim svjetlom vatreno narančaste boje. Plavi dijelovi istaknuti su mješavinom začarane plave i bijele lubanje (približno 50:50), a konačno isticanje bilo je mješavinom istih boja u omjeru 25:75. Žuti dijelovi su istaknuti Zlatnožutom i Žutom bojom od sunca. Bijela je napravljena slojem Fortress Gray i slojem čiste Skull White. Koža je bila obojana slojem Vermin Brown koji je zatim ispran Devlan Mudom (u to vrijeme drugačije nazivan). Bijela boja bila je obojena mješavinom Graveyard Earth i Bleached Bone.
Srebrni dijelovi obojeni su Boltgun Metal s Mithril Silver highlightom, dok su zlatni komadi (kopče remena i ručke sjekire) izrađeni s Tin Bitz, zatim slojem Shining Gold i A highlightom od Burnished Gold.
Lukove je bilo prilično jednostavno obojati. Samo temeljni premaz Bestian Brown s Badab Black wash i istaknutim Graveyard Earth. Uvjerio sam se da je Graveyard Earth stvarno super kad se razvodni za highlight.
Odlučio sam imati dvije vrste kose. Jedna bi bila smećkasta druga crvenkasta. Gingeri su rađeni na Dark Flesh basecoat nakon čega je slijedio Badab Black Wash. Highlights su napravljeni s Blood Red i Bomit Brown. Brinete su postignute temeljnim premazom Bestial Brown nakon kojeg je uslijedilo pranje Devlan Mud s odsjajima Vomit Brown.
Osnovni premaz za kožu bio je Dark Flesh koji je zatim bio u potpunosti prekriven Dwarf Fleshom nakon čega je slijedio Ogryn Flesh (vjerujem da se tada zvao Flesh Wash). Posljednji vrhunac bio je Elf Flesh.
Na kaput Bestial Brown/Badab Black iz 1. koraka stavio sam malo čiste Bestial Brown boje. Zatim sam napravio mješavinu Bestial Brown i Graveyard Earth nakon čega je slijedio vrhunac čiste Graveyard Earth. Ekstremni naglasak napravljen je razrijeđenom mješavinom Graveyard Earth i Bleached Bone.
Nanošenje laka označilo je kraj procesa bojanja i ostalo je još napraviti podloge.
Uklonio sam sve minijature s baza tako što sam ih pažljivo odrezao oštricom skalpela.
Imam tu sreću da se grad u kojem živim nalazi na obroncima brda koje ima mnogo škriljevca. Dakle, stjecanje pravog škriljevca nije teško. Pričvrstio sam sve minije na svaki komad škriljevca.
Koristeći jednu vrstu šljunka/pijeska (približno veličine pijeska srednjeg zrna GF9), pokrio sam sve podloge. Nakon što se tekstura osušila, obojila sam je u crno, a zatim ju premazala Bestian Brown suhom četkom i dodala isticanje Bleached Bone. Kad se sve osušilo, zalijepio sam minije pričvršćene na svoje komade škriljevca na svaku bazu pomoću PVA ljepila.
Dodao sam dvije vrste vegetacije: busene (koje sam napravio od 5-7 mm duge statične trave) i čistu statičnu travu (2-3 mm duge). Zalijepio sam ih PVA ljepilom. Na kraju sam napravio crnu postavu sa strane baza.
