Ravaged Star Ascended Elite Squad Start to Finish
Channel: Frazzled Dad's Minis
Date: 25/01/2024

This is nearly soup-to-nuts of me working on my Ravaged Star Ascended Elite Squad. This video is packed with details as I show you my basic workflow.

I walk through getting started with Slapchop, how I'm using Army Painter Speedpaints to get the majority of the figures painted quickly, and what things I like to spend my time with.

Some techniques I cover:

* Slapchop priming
* Working with Speedpaints
* Gold detailing with a mix of acrylic paint and pigment powder
* Glowing gun effects with ink and fluorescent paints
* Managing time
