The Christmas holidays and the Warhammer hobby go together like turkey and stuffing or Chaos Warriors and spikes, and we’re looking forward to getting some quality painting time in over the festive break.
With Da Red Gobbo’s Surprise and the Grotmas Gitz still available to order, demand is high for tutorials covering Christmas painting techniques. Thankfully, the Warhammer Painting Team have gift-wrapped four video tutorials. First up – ice-covered bases.
Does Da Red Gobbo’s big white beard imply the existence of Santa Claus in the 41st Millennium? Can he somehow see through the warp into our reality? Ours is not to question why, but you can ruminate on the matter while learning how to paint white hair and fur – perfect for Dire Wolves and the pelts of Wolf Guard Terminators.
Help your tank – whether it's a Rogal Dorn Battle Tank or a sleek Hammerhead Gunship – break up their silhouette in a snowstorm with this video on snow camouflage.
Finally, each year the Warhammer Painting Team gets given free rein to do something a little different, like turning a Great Unclean One into a giant, daemonic snowman. This year, they’ve turned a Beasts of Chaos Herdstone into a penguin. Check out how they did it below.
There are also two videos on how to paint up this year’s commemorative Christmas miniatures, Da Red Gobbo’s Surprise and the Grotmas Gitz. Both are perfect stocking fillers for ardent fans or those in your life who are a little Warhammer-curious, and these handy videos make painting both a doddle.
