Edge Highlighting explained in 5 minutes

Edge highlighting is one of the essential miniature painting technique, which every miniature painter should know. If you want to learn how to edge highlight your miniature, this short tutorial is for you!

There is no true shortcut to getting precise, thin and consistent edge highlights that you can see on warhammer box arts. If you want to paint that very similar eavy metal style that you can see there (which suits space marines for me, honestly) you will have to practice edge highlighting as much as you can - for which space marines and drukhari are actually great!

This video will definitely help you with fundamentals of edge highlighting, but as mentioned, it all comes down to deliberate practice (when I do not count quality brushes). You could also choose to paint everything with drybrushing, sure, but with that you will not achieve that eavy metal look - but this can still look great on your miniatures.
