I actually have painted 34 models so far, 30 of which are Termagants. It’s a simple but basic scheme that allows me, in theory, to paint a lot of minis relatively quickly.

I didnt wanna crowd the light box to much so you get 10 out of 30. I might make another shot with more of my lil fellas.

I consider them finished and tabletop ready.

Here is another angle.

EDIT Might make a follow up post with all 30 later this weekend. Hope thats ok

I love them! (Having only painted a few minis) Was there any trick to getting the teeth right?

Sorry if thats not what you wanna hear but... Just a rather small brush and hand eye coordination.

Oh I've accepted that the real trick is practice. I was just curious if you used any masking or base coat tricks to get them so well-defined. Thank you!

Only techniques I used for these models are basic drybrushing and layering. No washes.

EDIT for creatures or monster teeth you can use dark colors or straight up black as base color (of the mouth) before you paint in the teeth so you get a strong contrast.
