Take your jump infantry to the next level! Today, we are painting up a point of BattleTech Elementals, but the real star of the show is the base. In this video, I will show you how to paint realistic, glowing smoke plumes and exhaust fire. It's an incredible effect that adds extreme verticality and action to your miniatures. In this tutorial, we will cover: The Smoke Plumes: How to blend bright yellows and oranges at the thrusters up into thick, dark, ashy smoke using a brush. Ghost Bear Elementals: Painting the tiny power armor in a classic Clan Ghost Bear scheme. Sponge & Brush: Using a makeup sponge to quickly establish the armor colors before coming in with a detail brush to pick out the visors and weapons.
