Thank you. Really glad you enjoyed the video. The new Warlock minis look really great and I think would look amazing in the Yme-Loc scheme, so don’t be surprised if you do see one on my Instagram cos I’m very tempted 😉
Yeah, I feel ya. I use Artis Opus, not cheap but they are the best sable bristles you can buy bit.ly/42NKGLH I’ve had mine for years. You can even get a Brushstroke exclusive boxset of the exact brushes I use in my guides. Works out cheaper than buying each brush separately 👍
Would love to see a Farseer on Bike in this scheme. Tried it myself but either ended up with too much orange or grey. Couldn't figure how to breakup the colors effectively.
Thanks for watching. Getting the colour balance right can be tricky for sure. If I get a chance to paint a farseer on bike in this scheme I’ll let you know. Or if you want to send me pics of what you have so far I can try and advise possible tweaks 👍🏻
Awww man these are stunning. The orange and blue is one of my favourite complimentary colour schemes. Nailed it. I find the gemstone technical paints actually work not bad if your in a rush.
Thank you much appreciated You’re absolutely right, the GW gemstone technical paints over a bright metallic are a brilliant solution when time is of the essence. Good call 👍🏻
Ooo they’re the green and purple ones, right? That’s a tricky Craftworld scheme to get looking nice for sure. Those two colours don’t sit nice together at all. Let me think about that one 🤔
Fantastic content! I found this one and then subbed and have been making my way through your list. I play Alaitoc and between new models and stripping the old I'm basically painting everything from scratch. How would you handle snow camo? Specifically on the new smoother ranger cloaks. The old ones have sharper raised edges and can easily be drybrushed for a decent result, these new ones not so much, they're more subtle waves.
Thank you, appreciate the support 👍🏻 Snow camo on Alaitoc? Aren’t they blue and yellow? For camo on Aeldari I would go down the geometric shape camo and probably do pale greys and blues to give it a snow vibe but also tie in with Alaitoc scheme www.vectorstock.com/royalty-free-vector/texture-digital-geometric-polygonal-camouflage-vector-33201101
@@BrushstrokePaintingGuides Oh yeah, on their armor or vehicles I would absolutely mix some blue into the patterns, I was thinking about a hex based pattern for bikes and such. I was speaking more about the cameleoline cloaks that the Rangers wear. Since they basically blend perfectly with surroundings. The old models have sharper edges more suited for dry brushing gradients of gray with a blue wash, white edge highlights, etc. The new models have very wavy smooth cloaks, so giving some thought into how to approach it.
@@shaunperron7080 oh, I getcha I would probably go with a blended layer approach, but if you’re wanting to stick with the dry brush approach then go with a soft bristle brush. A really soft bristle enables you to do a smooth finish even on surfaces without hard edges Artis Opus make the best soft dry brushes bit.ly/3Jl2YcN
@@BrushstrokePaintingGuides Oh, okay. So kinda like one side of a NMM power sword, glaze medium into pale grays to white on the extreme outer waves and edges? I'll give that a go, my glazing experience is pretty minimal so I'll have to practice on something older, lol. Thanks!
Awesome work, I like your style of painting very much. I would like to see some Tau Firewarrior colour schemes, of course only you get time for that. Kind regards
Thank you very much I’ve often though Tau would suit my painting style as it happens. Unfortunately, I don’t have any Tau models at the moment. I’ll certainly add them to the list though. Is there a colour scheme in particular you’d like to see? I actually think this orange and grey would work great on Tau 👍🏻
Hey, looking to follow your links to get my own unit started, this will be my first warhammer squad! The 50 quid set of brushes has me sweating, if I buy them individually what sizes would be best for this project?
Hey man, totally get buying sable brushes is a big investment. If cared for, they will last you years. You do right though, start with one or two and see how you go. I would say for this project you should look to get a series S 1 and 00 That will give you all the control you need and get you used to the brushes. You can use bigger cheaper brand brushes for washes etc Hope that helps?
@@BrushstrokePaintingGuides Thank you so much for the fast reply, that's great advice though, just what I needed! The other, maybe dumb(?), question I have. If I prepare the minis as you do, when it comes to glueing it all together will the paint make that harder - should I use plastic glue or super glue? Love your content!
No such thing as a dumb question mate. Ok, so when it comes to fixing your painted pieces together I find it helps if you scrape some paint away at the contact point (carefully with a craft knife) so that some bare plastic is exposed. I then superglue the parts together. I never really use plastic glue as I find it quite messy to work with. Hope that helps
hi good video, I’m starting out in paint is it not complicated to paint with a paint with the layer range as a basecoat ? i want to go with dawnstone but i fear its not covered the fig enough
Thank you So, the concept of “base” paints and “layer” paints is something which GW have created to simplify the process of painting for beginners. Its easy for people to follow, base paint + wash + layer paint = ready to play The truth really is paint is paint. Darker colours tend to have better coverage than lighter colours but the level of coverage can actually differ widely from colour to colour and from one paint range to another. It’s better really to just learn how a paint works for you. Get a feel for it and see where that “sweet spot is”. That’s the point where it covers the most but still applies silky smooth. You find that spot by adding water to thin the paint until you get it just right. This does take a bit of practice, but it’s a far better skill to have than relying on a label. After a while you will find you develop “an eye” for it, where you can judge by looking at a paint how much thinning it’ll need to be just right. Hope that makes sense?
@@BrushstrokePaintingGuides yeah if i understand Wright the Grey paint cover good even if it's a "layer paint" and I need to thin the paint nicely to get a good result with
Yes that’s right. But also, don’t be afraid to try things and see what happens. Just because GW says it’s a layer paint, doesn’t mean you have to use it that way. In fact, don’t believe there are rules to anything. You do things how you want. Have fun and see what works for you. 🙂
