Hobby Cheating 170 - How to Speed Paint Quality Goblin Skin 

Always baffles me that you don't have more subscribers. You post regular, informative, realistic content that can be replicated by a novice/amateur. Thank you for your continued efforts to grow the hobby and share your experience.

Love all the videos and again this is great for explaining how to produce high quality minis in less time. My painting has improved a huge amount in the last two months from watching your videos.

One of my favourite videos ever! Thanks for this one Vince. Wouldn't have thought of the red negative zenithal - that is hobby cheating gold!

9:22 I had an ah ha, light bulb moment. I never thought of using the wash to wet blend! Brilliant! As always great teaching and video quality. Thank you.

Fantastic Mr V. As Tom Keating said, it’s all in the preparation. The Old Masters did not waste time. Time is money etc. Best wishes to you, Hugh.

This absolutely feels like hobby cheating. Very nice.

The one dislike is from a person who wasted his life waiting for washes to dry... Thanks for another awesome video Vince

Excellent tutorial as always. That handle thing swinging around near the wash pot is giving me the fear though! 😂

The results look great - I shall give this a go for the pile of grots I've got to paint. Using different greens should give me a generally cohesive look but a bit of the variation I like to see in a group of grots.

This was very useful. Thanks a lot for sharing Sir!

Brilliant! Gonna have to repaint my Silver Tower Goblins now.

I opened a package this morning containing this exact goblin and wondered how to paint him and his buddies. Nice work Vince!

7:26 Vince using washes as a light contrast paint, before contrast paints where cool! All kidding aside, I love glazing over a zenithal, which is what the wash does in this case.

I’m going to use this on my Death Guard and Plaguebearers, hadn’t thought about how great the red under shade would be.

Thanks for the tips. I decided to have my entire moonclan battleline made of these oop wfb 4th ed night goblins. They are my big gitz!

with that orange nose it looks like he has been imbibing the mushroom moonshine heavily for years. A nice idea for the skin Vince.

That looks fantastic, and is the nicest skin I've seen! I've just started in the hobby and don't want to commit to an airbrush just yet. What prep work could I do with just rattlecans/brush?

Hi Vince Excellent video as usual. I have been searching the web lately to see if the reverse verdacchio technique (red under coating rather than green undercoat) would work for a green-toned skin (just got a boatload of Mailfaux gremlins, L5R Goblins, and Bushido Savage Wave bakemono), and lo and behold, you come to the rescue!! Would this work for any set of complementary colors as well Bluish-toned or Orange-toned skin-tones, for example. Also, would LOVE to see you do tutorials on Asian, Hindu, African and Mayan skin tones as well. Thx Scott

Damn! Someone have to make a patch to stop Vince cheating this way! :D Thank you for sharing all this wisdom!

Great tutorial! My orc/green skins are going to be darker, more black green. For the red under shade would a purple work better ?

Haha slapchop but4 years before. You're the best :)

I’m doing turquoise skin and shaded down hull red robes. I was highlighting using red to orange for the robe. What would you suggest?

So could I use zenithal highlighting for something I wanted mostly red with black and white but use an army painter dark red/brown? Im going to paint some infinity nomads and want to try mostly glazes that I saw in your hobby cheating glazes.

Thanks just picked up the Battletome

So for the fully painted gobbo at the end, what did you di for the robes? Just nuln oil? And the shaft of the spear?

How would you paint the black robes? I always have a hard time edge highlighting the black robes

Hmm...I am about to embark on painting around 30 Seraphon Skinks, I might modify this technique for that purpose. If I went with the traditional Skink blue color, I suppose I'd undershade with a dark orange, is that correct?

Very timely :)

wait, so you don't wait for the wash to dry? I'been living a lie? What else has people keep a secret from me? Do you paint with the bristles of the brush right?

Great tip man! could you do a hobby cheating on a nice night goblin base? i love bases!

i'll try this out on my Massive Darkness goblins.

Can you do one for squigs?

Vince, love your videos! I have seen your video, regarding painting purple and I was wanting to paint my goblins clothing, in a true/neutral purple ( not cold or warm). Would you still recommend priming goblins in a red or would you suggest a different priming color? Thank you for the content you make, I know it has helped me out a great deal; keep up the good work.

Hi vince, I think that I am Daltonist.... You say Pink, but all I see is orange. Could it be the light>

If you have a smart phone i would recommend the app called paintRack in 99% of chases it will give you the closets approximation to the color used in the video as an example Vallejo plae sand would be citadel: Dry Eldar Flesh, p3 Ryn flesh, reaper fair skin and scale75: golden skin

Gonna try this on a bunch of DnD trolls.

Can't really see what you're doing. Maybe zoom in a little more?
