How To Undercoat Models With Spray Paint

By -
Undercoating your minis is important for ensuring your paint stays on the model! Some people use a brush to undercoat, others use an airbrush, but one of the most popular ways to undercoat is using spraypaint. Citadel do a range of Spray cans in an assortment of colours, meaning that no matter what your main colour is on the model or army, you'll find one that will work perfectly. Here Chris shows how to use a Spray Can to undercoat your models. You may think, "Who needs shown how to use spray paint?" but there are a few things that people don't do when spraying and it ends up clogging the mini up, ruining the amazing detail on them.
Here, Chris undercoats the minis from Mantic Games' The Walking Dead: Here's Negan The Board Game using Citadel's Mechanicus Standard Grey spray paint.

This technique uses Citadel's Agrellan Earth texture paint to create an excellent charred look for your models and scenery. This technique would look great on the battlefield on tree stumps that have been torched, buildings that have been set ablaze and, as shown in the video, to make your zombie horde stand out a bit if you have duplicate zombies.

The Noise Marine. One of the greatest ideas Games Workshop has ever had. I got my hands on one and I knew right away that I had to do something special with this one, cue Non-Metallic Metals. NMM is a pain, but it looks so good. When you look at the old White Dwarf magazines from the 90s, you will see NMM all over the place. It looks amazing when it's done right, but it's very easy to mess up.  To get myself started for the NMM I went to my bits box and found this Chaos demon axe. I based it with Rhinox Hide mixed with a little black, then began glazing layers with a light blue added to the mix. Once I got it to a mid tone, I began adding white to the mix, eventually ending with a pure white. With the NMM, you have to look at the highlights different to standard layering. The easiest way to describe it is, where you have a highlight, on the face next to it, do it opposite. In the above example, the highlight on the edge of the blade is at the top of the outer blade, then ...
