Painting miniatures?

Does anyone here paint miniatures? (warhammer or whatever)? If so I’d like to hear about your techniques and workflow.

I’m pretty new but my workflow is currently the following: Base colors on first, then shadow lines in the recesses/corners, then dry brush with a lighter color than the base color, then paint highlights on edges, then paint the detail colors.

I’m pretty new and I’d like to hear about your workflow and if you have any tips for me, or want to critique/comment my workflow.

Sounds good. There’s some really good stuff on youtube for painting mini’s. I have some I need to finish but I am doing historicals. I couldn’t tell you offhand who to look up as there’s specific ones for warhammer and for others but it’s a good place to start and compare your work.
