Painthammer Freehand Showcase!

During April I thought it would be fun to set a small optional challenge for people partaking in #Painthammer2019 – to attempt a bit of Freehand painting on a miniature or two and share the results with the hashtag #PainthammerFreehand. Shall we take a look at what people got up to?

Starting with myself, I challenged myself to paint Aeldari Harlequins with diamonds. Last time I painted some of these guys I totally chickened out but I really wanted to push myself with this squad. I was really happy with the final results I got and I feel my confidence as a painter really increased with this project!

@cliffe_g painted a “Blue badge of courage” onto the backpack of his Ogryn! Looks fab to me! 🙂

@englishalex96 painted up a Skaven machine, not sure what this one is called, but he did a lovely freehand banner!

And speaking of Dreadnoughts, @DocRods also added a bit of freehand to one of his own, a griffin 🙂

An absolute ton of Freehand here on these robots from @Scykhe for his amazing Mechanicus army. If you’ve been following along you’ll know his models are almost drowning in freehand!

@CommissarLewlew painted this chapter symbol on a tank here. Is it a Rhino with an upgrade or its own thing? I don’t know Space Marine tanks lol.
