@Anti-Infringement-American 8 месяцев назад

I started painting miniatures in the late 80s early 90s. Back then everyone was super secretive about how to paint, and straight out refused to share knowledge (it was a pay your dues mentality). Stuff that has taken me years to figure out you can now pick up in a few you tube videos. I think I have learned more in the past few years than in an earlier lifetime lol. Thank you guys so much for this. It has been great to see this change in the gaming world.

@MaxDesal 8 месяцев назад

Once painted a Skaven army of over 500 models back in the days of warhammer fantasy. And ever since have been completely burned out with army painting. Having restarted the hobby with the new 40k edition...it's been a tedious process... But hey seeing the finished units on the table is awesome! And having other players comment on them is the best kind of motivation! So hang in there and support each others progress and process!

@TheBigDirty716 8 месяцев назад

Models look great and really like your color choices. For me, the first few units always take the longest because that's when I'm finding out what ideas I had that work and which ones don't

@idontseeyoureplys 6 месяцев назад

My best advice for painting things that take a long time whether it be a large model or tons of individual ones is put something on that progresses like a book or a show anime, even a long playlist of your favorite artists etc. I find that when things progress it works extremely well as you see your progression with the progression of what you are watching. If you watch a movie or a video and it ends… you are still stuck painting so you have to then watch something else that will eventually “end”. For example I watched all 8 Harry Potters once and it was satisfying that when I finished all my painting I got to watch the end and was happy that the plot evolved as did my army. That’s my advise at least cheers!

@thekeepgames 8 месяцев назад

I've been painting armies for 30 years and typically paint 40 man units at a time. What I find helpful in doing so, is sorting the minis basic body shapes into groups and paint those batches. Each subsequent mini goes quicker as you learn where the details are on the mini, and then correct/touch up the whole batch at the end- again sorting into common mistakes needing to be corrected. It definitely helps power through an army this way!

@Ouwesnuifduif1 8 месяцев назад

I really hate this approach. For me i pick a unit of 5 and paint one at a time, take a couple of hours each. I get 100000x more enjoyment if a paint one mini at a time then do the same thing over and over

@jakea3950 8 месяцев назад

For sure and ive learnt, when you know a paint scheme its sooo much easier.

@user-kw6oh4xw2v 8 месяцев назад

I went in a different direction: I just started playing skirmish games instead. I can spend as much time on a model as I want. I do not have to paint the same model 30+ times (or 100+ times in the case of my friends soul blight army) and I do not hate my hobby. Pretty good if you ask me.

@Miniatur_Steve 7 месяцев назад

Love the color concept and how you broke it down to a timely and do able approach, rather than doing a marathon of getting lost in too many details only you will know about! Painting entire armys is really painful, but once done can be so satisfying.

@UntiltedName 8 месяцев назад

A test model is absolutely vital. Whether you follow a tutorial or not. After the 1st batch of models you will likely modify the process for the next, to make it more efficient. If I hated army painting I'd commission it out.

@christisking2373 6 месяцев назад

I go through phases of "inspiration"... usually with a new set I'm super excited and with paint as much as I can for 2-3 days straight... then it will slow down and I'll pick away at what remains.

@dew7972 7 месяцев назад

Personally, when painting an army, i NEVER finish them all to start off with, i get the base 3 colors on there, then come back slowly over time and work on finishing them how i want them to be finished with better shading and everything. You can spend days if not weeks on a single model, if you're playing with them, its so much nicer to see some kind of color on them. Even if its just a nice airbrush, with a few base colors that can be highlighted. It'll make you feel like you're accomplishing something.

@cptkrank6802 8 месяцев назад

Batch/speed painting is all about the compromises you're willing to make to paint stuff faster, and nailing down the steps before you get stuck in. This generally requires a bunch of planning. For example, Zumikito has ONE color of brown he tints with a variety of washes. But he could have airbrushed the whole mini brown - which would probably require painting the parts to be metallic in black and some touch up afterwards, but likely would have been faster than painting 70% of the model brown with a brush. But maybe not! The only way to be sure is to do test models. A couple of hours at the start can save you dozens of hours once you get stuck in. A bottle of paint stripper can turn your failed efforts back into grey plastic in very little time, so there's no reason to not experiment. Motivation wise, I find breaking stuff into chunks to be helpful. A batch of 20 minis is a huge batch! But you might be able to do 5 minis in a single evening. That way you're not stuck doing the same color for 3 hours in a row before moving to the next color for the next three hours.

@FictionDiction 8 месяцев назад

This is funny to me cause I LOVE army painting and regularly paint in batches of 10 to 15 models at a time. I think that you and many other mini painting youtubers are display painters trying to benefit from the much more numerous tabletop and casual standard painters out there.

@marcelopradodasilva8130 8 месяцев назад

I don't get as much enjoyment from painting as I do from playing with an all painted army , so my batches are huge as I just start painting when the army is all assembled and I play fantasy !

@isisnmagic1812 8 месяцев назад

Great video, lots of good tips, as I don't play I just love to do the painting. Recently challenged myself to paint a ten figure set at once (I usually just do 1-2 figures at a time) from a box , I did five for the display case and the remaining five I turned into a diorama, the miniatures were Warhammer Nighthaunt Chainrasps and I must admit it was fun to see how far I've come from just starting three years ago . I also prefer to have a podcast playing in the background then switch to music when the episode I was listening to ends, dies make the time fly.

@redrooster7371 8 месяцев назад

I think motivation management is the most important part of army painting. For me painting more than two miniatures at once is tiring. And as you mentioned you have the satisfaction of a fully painted miniature much more often.

@shaneancio 7 месяцев назад

Great advice

@sebastianwei7721 8 месяцев назад

Amazing

@DizzWhazzUp 8 месяцев назад

That's soft. Try what I did with 120 clanrats all at the same time, no small batches, just all in one go. Well, for some of the main colors I did some batches of everything between 6-20, but after that with all the chips, scratches, claws/teeth, and eyes (done with red contrast all over and around each eye, then painting the eye ball white, then doing a fluo orange over it all) in batches of 120 for each step is a killer.... It was hard to see the end sometimes, but MAN was it satisfying when they were all done!! :D Anyway, great vid, they look awesome!! I kinda wanna try to do this style for 1-2 armies in the future :P

@JuuzouXIII 8 месяцев назад

@jakea3950 8 месяцев назад

💯 true! Knowing a paint scheme is sooo much easier. Takes out lots of guess work or trial and error. Nothing worse then not liking how something turns out. I find its less about my airbrush and brush skill but more the paint choice that turns me off.

@35milesoflead 8 месяцев назад

LORDS ARE REWARDS! That's how I approach my batch/ army painting when I paint. For example my Stormcasts - when I get a box with units and a lord, the Lord goes last.

@chrisfowler9987 8 месяцев назад

One tip I learned from batch painting the Leviathan tyranids: if you make your 'reward' a glass of wine, theres no problem in getting that messy effect. Also I live the two tone style and tried your earlier video that was more Cursed City style.... But my biggest queation: wtf is causing all this glow from the ground?!?

@robertreyes6959 8 месяцев назад

I've purchased so many models with a plan to paint them. I've painted a grand total of 1 space marine and 1 tyranid warrior so far in about a month. But it took a long time trying to friend the right colors until I was happy with them. Hoping that the rest of the armies will go by fairly quick now that I have a "plan"

@Milkymalk 8 месяцев назад

When I started 40k in 2nd Edition(!), I painted one of the starter box Goff orks in one month. I used enamel paints and well, it turned out very well, if a bit flat because what is shading? Now I painted the Termagants from the Leviathan box... all 20 of them in one batch because I knew if I only do 10, I will never touch the other 10 because I will be sick of it. Yes, I hated myself for that decision, but what I hate more is having halfway painted minis so I pulled through. Followed by 11 Neurogaunts, who were surprisingly fun to paint! I love these little critters!

@Liopot68 8 месяцев назад

Army painting is a soul destroyer and it is the main reason I moved away from standard-size games to skirmish games. A tip I found very useful is: you dont need to paint every single details! Concentrate on what is impactful.

@Khrist75 8 месяцев назад

A second tip is to use contrast paints (no matter of brand) as much as possible... They changed my way of painting (35 years of experience).

@noahjwhite 8 месяцев назад

I mostly love painting my armies… yeah, the nameless grunts (that are pretty much identical) get a bit boring, but I’ll paint a few as practice for named characters, then do a few more, ect.

@freaketchic 8 месяцев назад

I'm with you there. Seeing a full painted army beats one display figure anytime for me. It's a complete different set of skills.

@cyguy21 8 месяцев назад

I just finished 60 cadians… no speedpaints… bases, transfers and weathering took me 3 months

@legiox217 5 месяцев назад

nice job :)

@Alberto-hs9pi 8 месяцев назад

i still remember the Enamel video, omg did it hurt a lot... BUt yeah, in this video, you`re right, Structure is key, batches of 5-10 are perfect for small models, and if you have a bigger one, just do that one, vehicles as in tanks, can be done all together for the bases, but when the time comes for blending and shades, and texture, do them one at a time. Just finished 3 Rhinos of the Death Guard in 2 days, that means 2 sittings of 5 hours each. I wasnt fast, but i had my share of fun.

@Ky3oB390 8 месяцев назад

My opinion. Painting with oils, quickpaints and inks on preshade is more quickly. At the end just do highlights and its done. on metal just use stipling. Nice result for quick painting. AND, if you do some weathering...

@memitim171 7 месяцев назад

If you're painting for gaming this is da wai. If you go bold with the highlights they look great from a couple of feet away and since that's how you spend the most time looking at them... And you always have the option of going crazy on them for characters etc

@TheJamesboink 7 месяцев назад

Well, yesterday I was finishing 6 (5 since gotta do OSL for Sergeant) Veteran Guardsmen for 5 hours and I was only doing metallic highlights, minor fixes, decals and varnishing. Would kill to be able to paint 20 models in 5 hours XD

@Hadduck 8 месяцев назад

Painting my cadians use to be so easy until the range refresh added a whole bunch of new details to paint. Not everyone needs a backpack and that much stuff on them, lol.

@glennrinehart3336 8 месяцев назад

I stick to squads of 5, and keep all other minis out of sight, so i can focus on what's on the table. Factory method is fastest way, especially when you've got over 100 primed minis to finish

@grud8495 8 месяцев назад

Although this looks great, it's not a good way to paint armies fast. Airbrush and OSL will get you the result you want faster although more messy. Considering the time you spend in applying the OSL with the brush, that time might as well have been spent applying highlights and washes like any normal method. Contrast paint is also a massive boost in speed.

@ernie1903 8 месяцев назад

Just batch painted a gloomspite army with 80-100 minis every goblin has free hand on the hoods , I said never again then tyranids got a vamp up lol I feel your pain , it’s a different mentality

@GossAug 7 месяцев назад

I love building and not so good at painting…going to spray paint with two colors randomly and just play. I figure if risk games have one solid color armies the least I can do is 2 colors and then maybe use a brush on weapons for that extra detail lol 😂

@tchynerd 7 месяцев назад

I think some is too you are recording for youtube, so that'll slow everything down as you do camera stuff.

@j-vlog002 8 месяцев назад

ok I have a silly newb question. I just received a box of miniatures and have watched many painting videos. The question is: why not prime and base coat them while they are still on the sprue?

@Zumikito 8 месяцев назад

same people do that, but if you don't do anything with the plastic beforehand, you'll have to remove some moldlines and plastic attachements and along with them scratch off some paint. If you don't mind mold lines or some paint being scratched off, sure!

@maxxon99 8 месяцев назад

I actually find batch painting relaxing. You only have to figure out the colors etc. once and then it just proceeds automatically. Whereas painting several different models at the same time is tiring.

@SpaceSpuddd 8 месяцев назад

First time I painted models, it was 14 Stormtroopers for legion. Did each one individually start to finish, nothing in batches. Despite them literally being just black and white, for some reason I primed them grey instead of white. Man, I hated it

@petros9711 8 месяцев назад

These books look cool, but I’m still skeptical to buy them… there’s lots of hype, but it feels like all of the coverage of them has been paid endorsements. The creators should consider some unpaid reviews by reputable painters/creators - cause it just feels a bit too heavy on the hype/biased promotion now.

@liquidhelium 8 месяцев назад

Creator here! The way I thought about this is the vast majority of the painters who wrote the actual tutorials for the books basically already have a reputation that precedes them, such as David Arroba, Arnau Lázaro, Marc Masclans... I didn't write about the numerous accolades by the different painters because it would honestly take too much space. The combined number of awards they have won in the industry is ridiculously high, so I thought that would be enough of a guarantee that their tutorials are in fact good. Once the books are printed I do plan to find independent reviewers who may be open to publish such reviews, but I don't really know where to start looking, I'll have to do a lot of research :)

@NerdySatyr 8 месяцев назад

@TylerProvick 8 месяцев назад

I have to respectfully disagree with this. The most important step to army painting is to start painting. The second most important part is to continue painting. If you do those two things you will have a painted army, without fail, at some future time. Getting the perfect plan delays that for what is arguably, little benefit. Batch size, though, is a good point. The right batch size will make a project fly, and the wrong batch size will make it crawl.
