Out of date and partially useful. Some contradictions and not enough gems.
This is extremely basic entry level painting guide stuff. It's geared for batch painting an army as fast as possible and has little if any techniques variance beyond that. There's no aspirational learning path and as such most of this book is just the same x1 low-fi technique applied again and again to various Foundry minis. This basic layering technique will do for armies but not for intermediate pro approaches. In some instances the book is telling you to add 6-8+ layers in various passes including varnishing etc. For varnishing it even advocates gloss varnishing your model for protection, then Matt varnishing, then re-gloss varnishing metalwork - that's just pointless beyond perhaps the argument that you get some extra protection and the specular highlighting properties of a deeper glossed varnish layer will be nicer. The scenery sections (a coup[e of pages) is nice because it has a decent wet-wash technique thats a bit classier than a straight dry-brush - and they Use Scotia Grendel Egyptian scenery which is always high quality but there's not enough of this. (btw I can't find any credit given to Scotia Grendel assets yet - not cool). Weirdly for an army painting approach with a multi layer technique there seems to be no mention of inks and washes made. That's weird because 1: they could sell them. 2: It would work well to unify their stepped tone layer look and 3: It would really speed things up and is a basic staple of mini painting and batch painting. There's a few decent tiny bits about converting and metal weapon substitution that I think would be good for new modelers to see for inspiration but there could have been more. finally I think the undercoating in white/black/grey is included by rote only basically and has limited impact then you're coating a mini with as much paint as they folks are. EG: They undercoat in black then immediately start re-coating and layering yellow. I think there are a number of conflicting examples of advice a young modeler will get confused by as well. Advice says X and all the examples have bone by Y etc. Why? In terms of quality and consistency I'd say this about 1985 worthy conceptual content. TBH - I don't think this does a better job than several late 90s or early 2000s GW/Citadel guides. This would make an OK intro present for the hobby to an early teen with no mini painting experience but I'd be advising they ditch its advice after 5-30 minis or a squad has been done.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
