After 20+ years painting and collecting miniatures from dozen different game systems, I decided I wanted to do something more official and professional...so here we are! My goal is to provide a channel that can help hobbiests (especially new to the hobby), showcase work from around the hobby community and give back to the hobby in the form of regular giveaways, competitions and collaborations
I was able to get there using Harlow speed . I was teaching a new player who caught onto manticores tankiness quickly. So I changed the victory conditions that allowed him to continue playing and yeah I got mowed down!
Manticor can definitely seem overpowered because they are easy and straightforward to use. I totally mismanaged Harlows speed and didn't concentrate fire well enough
Great video man! Stoked to be a part of the community. Everything in the video was awesome. My one idea you could add is maybe a top down view of the map after each battle round to see where units have shifted to and how many are left. Look forward to more!
Thank you! I totally agree with more top down shots. I realized as I was editing it that there isn't a good feel for how the overall battle is playing out. I think I'll use more Tactical shots in the next one that shows overall movement as well as firing lanes
I love the speed and brutality of the game! I miss played it as Harlow by not moving forward faster and being more aggressive getting onto points of interest
hell fucking yea I love this style of battle reports makes it so much more interesting to watch a tiny idea for you when a model is killed maybe edit in some blood splatter or something just cause why not other then that can't wait for the next one
Thanks dude! That's a great idea! I plan on using more overhead shots of the battle so the viewer gets a better idea of what is going on tactically and how movement and shooting are impacting the overall fight
The White and Red pads were done off screen with an airbrush. I am just wondering what colors you used? Bold titanium white I am guessing for the white, but did you layer this with anything? did you highlight it at all? not sure on the steps here. For the Red, the same question, which red or reds is it? did you layer it with other reds? highlight it? not sure. thanks!
Great questions. For the red I started from Burnt Red and moved onto Bold Pyrrole Red and finally into a little Aldebaaran Red. For the white I started with Bright Neutral Grey and moved into Bold Titatium White. All of those colors are by Pro Acryl except for Aldebaaran Red which is by Scale 75
Few Questions: What are you sticking them to the base with? putty? what kind of putty? Citadel paint handles? are they good? do you like other brands? I noticed on the arms and cape for example you are painting kind of one side, do you finish all the work and then flip the piece over and go back through the process? Edit: You mention that there is a Pro Acryl black? shade you prefer over Nuln Oil, what is it called?
@RAINBOWBEARMAN lots of good questions! I use gorilla tack putty, lots of other painters drill and pin models with metal wire and cork. I like the old Citadel painters for their ergonomic design, but their V2 I think is a major step down. When I am doing models with separate parts I don't focus heavily on areas that will be in shadow until I attach them all together and I can see where the light and shadow will fall. Be carefull when you put a painted part of a model in putty because it can pull the paint off (especially the longer you leave it on). Pro Acryl/Monument Hobbies black wash is literally called Black Wash lol...and I absolutely love it!
@@mattsminiprob Another question. I know there are a million of them out there, and there is probably very little difference but which black primer do you use? Non Airbrush if you can recommend one.
@RAINBOWBEARMAN I do all my priming through an airbrush, but I've heard good things about AKs and Colour Forge primer cans. I have used Krylon and Rustoluem and didn't have a problem with them. I use the airbrush because the temp and humidity doesn't affect the primer
thank you for the paint list. helps a lot. I need to buy everything fresh - recently moved and lost all my supplies. which brushes do you use here? what do you think I should buy in order to paint this exact model. -- this is the model I plan to start with for new Imp Knights army.
@RAINBOWBEARMAN I use Artis Opus brushes. I highly recommend getting some of their drybrushes because they are simply the best out there. Other great options for high quality brushes are Rosemary and Co, Raphael 8404 or Winsor and Newton 7s. Those are all good brushes, but expensive because they aren't synthetic
really like this guide, I think I want some of the gold parts, like the emblems on the legs and such to be a little brighter but otherwise I like their look
@@RAINBOWBEARMAN thank you! Another great way to add depth to gold is to use a series of washes to make the shadowed area darker. I was going for a more muted gold here, but it would definitely look great to punch the brightness up on some of the details!
That was phenomenal, I actually hit save to later since the graphics were so well executed and watched it a couple of days later when I had the time. Amazing cut through with so many different battle report options available on youtube. Thanks for a great watch
I'm not sure I understand the question. I did use primer on this model. I always prime my miniatures and give the primer a solid 24 hours to set before I paint
I just rewatched this and Gravis armor is so good. That Assault Intercessor vs Heavy Intercessor fight showed a lot. The Assault Intercessors really got bloodied. And how much damage the Aggressors absorbed was impressive.
I was shocked how well the Heavy Intercessors basically shrugged off the charging Assault Intercessors. I was also pleasantly surprised with how hard Tor Garadon hit in melee...especially against a Gravis unit
@@mattsminiprob I don't play, just watch the batreps. But the only thing holding Heavy Intercessors back is a close combat weapon on the Sergeant. Give the man a power sword or powerfist or something. But other than that they seem to be really good.
@XHobbiesPrime I think they've done that purposefully so they don't overtake Aggressors. They need to be less than optimal in melee because of their range and tankinesa
@@mattsminiprob I think one close combat weapon wouldn't make them overshadow the Aggressors. but it would surely raise the cost of Heavy Intercessors. So maybe better to leave them as is.
The epic voice combined with the effects, ambiance makes it feel like you're listening to a book witch just feel intense this is a nice change from what kids I usually see of guys being super loud while I'm trying to enjoy the game itself very nice
The voice, the video style, the gameplay, the minis, it’s all so perfect. I play Battletech and have only started to get into 40K, and the video was super easy to get into and wicked interesting to compare to BT gameplay
Another great video! I just started painting up some Stormcast with the new Army Painter metalic speed paints, but this tutorial has some great tips for me to try out and make the metallics pop on the minis. I'm going with a Hallowed Knights inspired theme. Did you get a new microphone? Because your audio is sounding fantastic.
I hope you find some really useful stuff in here man! I'd love to see how your Stormcast come out I didn't get a new mic but I did actually learn how to shoot and edit audio finally 🤣
