Hey mate, love you're approach to planning a paint scheme, especially for something as complex as a malifaux model (lot's of textures, articles of clothing and the base!) You're use of a zenithall and brush work is great to see! Also, so glad to see Malifaux models getting videos. Your voice over is brilliant and your editing is solid. Keep up the good work!
Thanks, so many compliments in a comment I’m getting dizzy while blushing! I’m just so happy to make videos for folks like you. I’m incredibly appreciative and am happy to be of service to you :)
And on Monday you shall have it! Apologies, I had intended to get it out to you fine folk by yesterday but a bit of life happened. Who knew making videos was hard?
Thank you so much for sharing your mindset and thought process. So much more helpful than most "how to (insert technique)" Thank you for sharing, stay safe.
I really liked your style: very pedagogical and detailed. Good explanation, analysis, and the paint job itself. Makes me only want to buy Tiri crew even more 😅
*does NOT look up the definition of pedagogical* Totally what I was definitely going for! Thanks for the compliments, you should totally give Tiri a try if you’ve been interested because the crew is pretty solid.
I finished painting her core box a bit ago, but I used metalics. I am not entirely happy with the look, but oh well, your video motivated me to try nmm when I get her other boxes. edit: typo, oops
@@SubParNinja Oh yes, I almost ordered one of the other boxes immediately. I will say that I don't really mind the Vallejo copper, and with some washes and dry brushing I like how it turned out, but seeing your video definitely inspired me.
@@birddispenser I have the First Light built that I’ll eventually have to paint, doing the NMM on that big hunk of beef may have me scratching at the walls by the end of it!
@@SubParNinja Oh, I thought it would be easier on bigger models since you get a lil more room to play with. Well, at least I am having fun painting some gremlins, since they are dirty lil guys I can pretend like the messy paintjob is on purpose :)
@@birddispenser Unless I’m using an airbrush, for me the bigger surface areas always end up being more work no matter what. It’s like, painting a single color on the side of a building is a lot more painful than 10 colors on a model car lol. Thanks, you’ve convinced me to use an airbrush on that thing. :)
@@RotToFThEgOdS I don’t want to sound facetious, but I honestly just paint over my stuff these days, it works well enough if you kept it thin the whole time. However I’ve previously stripped models successfully using oven cleaner to soak it in, just make sure to use nitrile gloves. I’ve used Simple Green too, with less desirable results but also less chance of chemical burn. Use a toothbrush after soaking for a few days!
The ones I recall trying are Vallejo Glaze Medium, Vallejo Thinner Medium, and recently Green Stuff World Master Medium. I think that the VGM worked out rather well enough, and I used it exclusively for about 6 or so months. I was extremely disappointed with the Green Stuff medium, and it had a super strong smell to it. I guess I tend to default to the GW medium because it just works so well with GW paints, it basically turns any of their paints into a perfect wash, and I prefer the finish it gives. But yeah, GW stuff tends to be overpriced. I may be in the minority, but I tried a single paint from Pro Acryl and wasn't a big fan, but I'll give their medium a try the next time I come across it! Thanks for the tip!
@@SubParNinja iam not sure if u will like that medium when u didnt liked the normal paints from pro acryl + the medium drys matt, what u can fix with a gloss or satin varnish. thats definitly different from gw paints
I learned, I laughed, I loved. You have a great sense of humor and it was easy to follow along. I'm sure the knowledge will leak from my head like a sieve, but I'll definitely be coming back when I need to brush up on techniques. 😁👍
I'm glad my quirks can get a chuckle! I have a saying, "If you're not laughing, then you're at risk of exposing me for not knowing what is going on and I just can't have that. Shhhhh go quietly"
@@SubParNinja If you tell us all how you did that excellent void basing for your Obliteration crew I will happily walk away from the curtain and accept you are a wizard. 😋 P.s. The choice to base the Scion floating above it? Magnificent.
That’s exactly right!! In fact, they’re Micro Art Studios bases. I get them whenever I can, because they’re the perfect width and height to place inside a 30mm base and the combination gives me a feeling like it’s a plinth while still being playable. Adding height makes your model stand out further but when it gets too high it looks a bit goofy. Plus it gives me one less thing to do, I’ll let someone better than me design a base, it will probably be better than my cork :)
