Step-by-step painting tutorial for Miao Ying, the Storm Dragon — the celestial daughter of the Dragon Emperor and defender of Grand Cathay.
This project is perfect for fans of legendary characters, elemental effects, and painters who want to capture the majesty of a storm-forged warrior in Warhammer.

In this video, I bring Miao Ying to life using layered dry brushing, glowing storm effects, and rich tones that balance her human and draconic form.
Her armor shines with regal detail, while the storm energy and magical accents add movement and power to the miniature.

The goal is a fast yet dramatic method that delivers tabletop speed with striking, display-worthy impact.
Whether you’re building a Cathayan host or just love painting dragon-themed models, this tutorial provides atmosphere, color, and narrative strength.
