Painting An ENTIRE WARHAMMER 40K ARMY IN 1 WEEK 

Local man feeds entire cans of paint to his army of bug pets.

Really want Matt to get more sponsors just so that I can see him paint bigger models or bigger armies

“Just don’t get too close to them” I have shit brushes, shaky hands, and limited paints. That looks amazing

When Matt plays your faction: Oh boy When Matt using the similar snow theme: OH BOY!

Number 1 rule: New painters, your models will not look like the ones on the box. They will not be perfect, they will not be amazing. They won't necessarily be shit but just realise that you will get better over time.

"These are troops, you shouldnt spend too much time on the model" Me: Spending 6-8h on every single Orkboy (painting and conversion)

"I'm a mediocre painter at best" "I just ordered 1000 points of harlequins" I feel for you Matt. I don't think you'll have a good time.

awwww yeahhhh!!!! :-)

Matt can we skip a step and just have you inject warhammer content directly into my veins

"Magikarpusedfly" has evolved to "Guardsmancastfist"

When you realise that it‘s the same colorpallad as the neongenesis evangelions alpha 01 and now you can‘t unsee the similarity

Finecast from citadel is just... Everything that CAN go wrong, WILL go wrong

5:53 as a veteran painter, this physically hurt to watch

Some tips from someone who has been in the hobby for a while. 1) Write down your process. Like, which paints are for what, if you mixed them with anything, etc. It will help when you want to add more later on. 2) When it comes to some models, think about sub-assembly. It makes painting certain parts a little easier. Just put some poster tac/blu tack on the connectors to get a good spot to glue when you are ready. 3) Army Painter makes some of my favourite brushes. 4) I try to avoid Citadel paints. I find them too expensive for what you get, and you just end up thinning them anyway. Plus! Some of their paints are pretty shit (Looking at you any of their whites....) HOWEVER! They really hit the mark when it comes to washes. Nuln Oil, Agrax Earthshade, and Reikland Flesh are amazing. 5) For white: I recommend P3 Menoth White. A really nice white if you need to paint it. Look into P3 for some of your paints. They have very similar colours, and are really nice. 6) Look on Amazon, you can find empty dropper bottles that you can use to dilute, and store your favourite paint. If you don't have a stock of Airbrush ready paints, I strongly suggest putting in the time to do this. It is a bit time consuming, but you will save time in the long run. All you have to do is mix the paint you like, with airbrush thinner, pour it into the dropper bottle, add an agitator (small nuts or ball bearings work good) and shake when needed. That way you have a supply of airbrush ready paints at your disposal. 7) Unless you have a stencil, don't try the Harlequin diamond pattern. It is super time consuming, and ridiculously difficult. Amazing if you can pull it off, but it is hair pulling madness. If you DO have a stencil, care to share where you got it? That's all for the totally unsolicited advise. Good luck!

"...you have to have so many different paints to put on." *Laughs in Space Marine*

You're doing Bat Reps on twitch? Can we get some on the channel as well? I'm not free at the time you stream and I feel like a lot of other people want to see those too :)

I recently started up this new hobby by purchasing a start collecting box from my local hobby shop. If anyone is remotely interested in Warhammer 40K for the lore, building, painting, or actual strategy game, I would completely recommend it. I did not know I would enjoy it as much as I am and I have already finished a whole Necron army and am moving on to a Space Marine detachment. The hobby itself is expensive, but it takes time and patience to finish building, priming and painting. As a person who has played video games all my life including many years of competitive ones such as League of Legends, CS GO, Rainbow 6 and more, I found that Warhammer 40K a game set in a world where war and terror is the main plot, the hobby itself is quite relaxing and healthy for your brain. I struggle with anxiety due to my job as a software developer and computer science student in university but, little did I know that taking 20-30 min a day to build a model or finish one part of a models paint job would help me so much with my personal issues. It has opened a new creative world for me to delve into without feeling the stress of losing virtual points in a video game, or dropping a tier in league of legends due to a loss streak. If anyone has questions on the hobby feel free to reply to this thread, I would love to encourage anyone to get into it. Thanks for putting out these videos Magikarp, I love that the game is getting more attention.

Gotta love the model painting! Excited for the new video!

"Mr. Castro, can you please explain why you listed chew toys and snausages as business expenses on your taxes?". "Data protection. Here is a link to the video."

So I actually started painting and collecting pretty soon after your second 40k video. So thanks for inspiring me to also collect plastic crack with y'all. Currently working on CSM Iron Warriors army that is nearly done, just three models to finish painting then gotta base them and drill out the barrels. Then I'll be able to move on to a different project for a bit. Sadly I've been so busy and tired I just haven't had the energy and time to paint recently, but hopefully I'll get back to it soon.

Largely due to your group and a few of my friends, I’ve started working on a bit of a Plague Marine army. Bloat drones are so fun to mess around with!

Finally what I’ve been waiting for more MagikarpUsedFly 40K vids

Just love to see you having fun with things that are not just LoL, AMAZING!

This was super interesting to watch, especially as an art student. Love seeing where your content is going!

It really warms my heart to see videos where you're doing something you feel passionate about ☺️

Thanks for doing this. Started getting into 40k because of you. Started watching all the beautiful painters and feeling down as I could not get close. But you reminded me that it is okay to be getting better it is okay to paint minis that look good but are not going to win some sort of competition. Other RU-vidrs say it but you did it so thank you! I still need to finish my army up but now I am going to feel better about having an army that looks good at 5 feet and looks okay up close. I want to be clear you did a good job with these models and I genuinely thank you!

I keep saying this, but I'm seriously super stoked you got into warhammer! And I'm really glad you're having fun. I used to play tyranids and found a lot of success using Agrax Earthshade for dirty looking shades, and Blood for the Blood God is a MUST have if you like that blood....for....you know. I'm excited to see more!

9:48 "troops take a long time because there are smaller and harder to paint." *me as a gloomspite gitz player with a 120 grots* hah hah that's uhh pretty funny....................

I felt that Marine scream in the point blank primer segment in my soul

You're doing great! Love the Warhammer 40k content!

I don't play warhammer, i don't really like to paint, but listening to you talk about the things that make you happy for 16 min was a blast as always. Keep it up Matt!

I was just rewatching his WH content. Thanks for continuing this Matt, I’m starting to get palpitations in the left side of my jaw.

Bro, your models look amazing. Like no joke, low key they look really good.

Just got in my first small set in after your videos and Brickys. It's a little overwhelming at first but both of you make getting into the hobby a lot easier thank you for the good content!

I love Matt's vision on how to paint the models. Like super minimalistic but still somehow they look good.

The nids look great man! I would totally recommend citadel painting handles they're stupidly helpful especially when you're trying to angle brushes in weird ways. I've been using them to paint crons and nids lately

Ayyyy i fucking love the rising interest in warhammer and painting that I’m seeing recently both from you, Bricky and some of my pals. Good shit

I love watching this kind of videos from you, dude, well done and keep going

protip on painting a full army in 1 week; dont.

Always enjoyed painting more than assembly. When you finally finish a miniature it feels like it has it's full character on display.

I don't have a single idea about warhammer but seeing Matt just enjoying painting made this video so relaxing. Keep enjoying your shit Matt.

Good job painting man. Contrasts paints makes painting so much easier. Can't wait to see your skills get better with each new project

Matt That color scheme is amazing and i love it!! I never thought of just using a sold color for the carapis

Good work Matt, I like the look, you're a decent painter :) Thanks for the content!

Hey matt, idc about your warhammer stuff but 20 min is actually watchable, thank you Im watching this completely btw

Love seeing ya do Warhammer content. Its obvious you really enjoy it and its a pleasure to see. Harlequins are so hard to play though ya mad man!!!

That’s was a lot of fun to watch! I’ve always wanted to get into mini painting!

Speaking as someone who paints semi professionally, I think they look pretty decent! Especially for assembly line speedpaints!

The scream point-blank spraying is gold.

Ive been watching Dameki paint his DG army I love this content thank you so much

I really like this content, man! This was super cool to watch.

I love that you flashed pazuzu, you a truley cultured. I hope more people do that. Also i been waiting for this video for ten trillion years.

Love the the new content and the quality keep it up!

Started with Necrons, but my Nid collection has become my favorite army for sure. Bugs for life.

Love it! This 40K content never disappoints 😁😁😁

Great to see an actual intermediate paint job! The advanced painters on this platform always say not to compare against them and just keep practicing, but it's hard not to get a bit discouraged a times. I recently joined the Goobertown Hobbies discord and it was encouraging to see that I was on the same level as other hobbyists and even better than some! Love your 40k content!

Love the dedication mate! Hey you said in the vid that your brushes fray, it might also be because you're loading the brush too much and its getting up into the ferrul!

I don't really know much about Warhammer and feel like its too expensive but I enjoy seeing Matt having fun with it, I imagine its like that for a lot of people, which is nice, to have a hobby that keeps you busy

This was great, love warhammer content

Ahhh yess, snowy bases paired with any kind of blue feels just righttt! Great job really

Its nice to watch a 40k painting vid, and actually feel better about my painting skills after.

hey matt, i just watched this video 10 times. i love your shits dude. keep making them no matter what everyone says as long as youre enjoying what u doin!

YES! I'VE BEEN WAITING MONTHS FOR MORE WARHAMMER

Those troops look sick though. Watched your League vids years ago and love the new 40k stuff as I've gotten into over quarantine!

I'd be fine with MUF becoming an Arts n' Crafts channel tbh

Love this man! I did a 24 hour challenge and it basically killed me haha. Love the set up and broll here. Nice channel.

I began painting Marvel Crisis Protocol, Got in a lot of paint tips from Sorastro's painting and enjoyed it so far.

Thing to remember about forge world is that the kits they produce are for veteran hobbyists, they're high maintenance but it's the sort of stuff most experienced hobbyists are used to from other brands and model kits. FW resin is actually pretty good, but all resin kits can tend to be hit or miss. Also the synthetic vs natural brush debate has been going on for ages, but typically I think you'll find for the most part your brushes getting destroyed isn't because they're cheap synthetics, it's because you're not taking good care of them, even if you think you are. Doing a lot of stuff like stippling or drybrushing will kill a brush no matter how expensive it is or even if you use brush soap or conditioner. Personally I've been going on fine with a wargamer: regiment and a wargamer: character brush from the army painter, along with some davinci brush soap. It's easy to fall down the hobby hole of thinking that the best stuff is always what's the most expensive, but for the most part it's not always the case. Midwinter minis put out a good video today on how you can restore synthetic brushes really easily, or modify them to use as something else if they're too far gone.

No idea how you did it, but this was satisfying to listen/watch while doing other things... Nice work.

Im not into warhammer but I still love watching your content and will support you all the way! keep it up.

I want Matt to become a god at art and be able to paint insanely detailed and cool models

“I don’t normally use nuln oil” what the fuck, this is a 40K speed painting video.... nuln oil is like a godsend

I love painting! Started about 3ish-4 years ago?? Got the dark imperium box set and started on the death guards. I’ve learned, I hate them lol 😂 So now my new necron army is coming in the mail tomorrow and I’m getting started on them! Here’s a helpful guide I’ve learned for glow effects. Whatever you want to glow, use grey and white as the base colors and then go over them in whatever color you want to glow. Then, add the same color but dry brush in a circular motion to add a ring glow effect. Finally edge highlight or add back white + whatever color you’re highlighting and bam. Glowing eyes, orbs, guns, vents, organs, you name it! Mainly going for a terminator look so here is my step by step process. 1). Base the minis first. Going for an asphalt/ruined city vibe (opening of T1) 2). Base in black and then dry brush with a makeup brush leadbelcher starting at the head and working my down to give authentic shadows to the body. 3). Go over in nuln oil and add in Balthazar gold in edge highlights to give a rust effect 4). Use my glowing method on the guns and eyes 5). ??? 6). World domination

Cool vid ! The army looks good when all together. For terrain I suggest you could look into lasercut mdf terrain like TTcombat : its gorgeous and so much cheaper

Props for painting army in a week. I'm few years into the hobby and only army fully painted that I have is for Age of Sigmar. My Space Wolves are in different stages of grey plastic, basecoat and full paintjob. Props for Vallejo paints, I like them. GW's has nice colors, but they need to be transfered to dropper bottles. Will definitely visit your twitch channel and watch some batreps! Nice to see you all enjoying hobby! Have fun and produce biomass!

I love painting! I just finished my first models of Space Marines and I am currently working on some Necrons!

I love the choice of Settlement in the Red Bluffs as the background music

Hey man, love your addiction to 40k! Just wanted to say, don't eirry too mich about brushes, I paint thousands of points a year, and I exclusively use cheap synthetic brushes except for eye dots and very fine details. Buy them in bulk and find other uses for them once they are roughed up. If you need a long-lasting podcast for those painting sessions and are interested in learning something along the way, give the history of rome a try, I enjoyed it very much :)

I used to watch this channel for the League content but I eventually stopped playing it and this channel stopped showing up in my recommended. I’ve been playing 40K for an even longer time though and didn’t know you did too! Glad to be back on the channel! *squish*

Awesome video! Really makes me want to get an airbrush and try some of this

Loving all the 40k content. SUBBED!

Good job man, make this content a lot more this is great!

My dude, my old podcast buddies used to run an event called "Army in a Weekend" where we started with bare plastic on Friday night and by Sunday we had completely painted 2000 point armies. Caffeine was our friend, and it's very doable. Glad to see you still playing man, 9th is wonderful so far. I'm working on my Dark Angels right now, my primaris company is getting closer to done. After that, only 3 more companies to go. lol Keep after it! Contrast is your friend. :)

One really easy painting tip that a lot of people don't recognize, hit the more recessed areas of the model first. You can overflow a bit on those areas and be sloppy, and then when you go to do the areas that are more prominent and raised up next to it, you basically just need to not push your brush down to much vertically, and it won't hit the recessed areas. Doing this will get you pretty clean edges when you're changing colors.

I love painting. Me and a buddy went halves on an elite starter set, the paint bundle for both factions and some black primer. I've been painting Dnd minis for a year+ and was alsoways scared of WH40K cause the models are awesome and I don't think I'm all that good. We built them and I had to teach my friend how to paint. We are about half way done and every model we have completed has come out amazing. I will be putting them on my insta and the discord when we are finished with them!

is it strange that I find the lore, commitment and artistic expression completely riveting and have NO desire at all to do it myself?

I work in a store that sells a lot of Warhammer 40k stuff and paints and its intersting to see it actually be used by someone soo thats what all the stuff is for

I had bakingsoda whitepaint gesso and pva yellow on me too. Good job man!

Can't wait for the episode to come out. I like that you have a hobby that you're passionate about even if I don't play it. Just watching someone have a blast like you do is such great content I don't mind spending hours viewing.

*slams hand on desk* NOW THIS IS THE CONTENT I SIGNED UP FOR. MORE.

I really like your snow basing

Wow, I really should continue painting my Zombicide miniatures. They look awesome Matt

These models came out great dude, go forth, devour and adapt my fellow tyranid lover!

If you want to paint white nice and smooth you should prime grey and then use makeup sponges to apply a bright grey and then highlight with white. A nice wash with grey can also push details into larger smooth surfaces.

i love to see you do passion project videos

I love your warhammer content, i'm painting 2K points of novamarines at the moment and man is it tough!

This is why i subbed This reminds me of that dude that made coco-crabs color, that was so cool

Hey matt, thank you for making good content. Every time I see a new vid it makes my day better. Keep doing stuff that you like!

I recently bought my first Army (Chaos Space Marines around 1000 Points i think) and just got done building them so im going to paint them in a few weeks as well. Think this will be fun.
