We've had a peek at the upcoming platoon organization charts for Bolt Action, and as well as the core rifle platoon, it looks like players are going to be able to theme their forces around what support options they take. Now, the 'platoon commander' requirement for a lot of them doesn't specify that it'd necessarily be an officer... but it doesn't hurt to have a few extra replacement butterbars around, especially with Bolt Action 3rd Edition's launch box being plastic winter US forces and Fallschirmjaeger!

Fantastic as always, just looking at him makes me feel cold. And I appreciate the shout-out! I figured by now either you would be ok with my unsolicited comments or I'd be banned. Cheers!

@Vorpal_Wit 27 дней назад

Ok, that apothecary white for the 5 o' clock shadow worked way better than I would have expected. Nice. Thanks for that tip.

@andreaspersson5639 27 дней назад

Good old Russian Uniform WWII. Good for almost everything. Except Russian uniforms from WWII. (those were less green and more golden brown, as I understand it, VMC Khaki Grey being a close fit)

@user-qg4st8ih1d 25 дней назад

I’ve been looking for a good colour for Russian uniforms for ages, cheers for sharing that tip!

@benjaminalmquist1805 26 дней назад

Outside of their own page and a few individuals on Reddit, I've yet to have seen RKX figures in the wild (RU-vid/online or otherwise). I think with this painting guide I'm completely sold on them! Especially since they've got the M-1943 uniforms that I do so love in addition to the more classic winter M-1939 overcoat. Thanks for the showing/guide!

@SonicSledgehammerStudio 26 дней назад

It's strange, since I've seen quite a few Finnish armies made up of miniatures by the same sculptor - I've got a feeling it's just that RKX as a store front aren't that well known, which is a shame, since they've got some cracking stuff on offer. If folks find it through this video, all the better! I'd love to see more of their miniatures on the table.

@Castillo525 27 дней назад

Yes siiiir excited for more ww2 content! Btw I mixed your new marine juice formula, working flawlessly on my white russians for russian civil war games.

@SonicSledgehammerStudio 27 дней назад

Glad to hear it! It's always reassuring when something I suggest actually works for somebody else. 🤣

@ShaunTame-re5us 24 дня назад

That is great! He looks freezing.

@Matt-md5yt 27 дней назад

sweet glad you did a US soldier in the Winter

@loupiscanis9449 26 дней назад

Thank You , Troy . 🐺Loupis Canis .

@alessiodecarolis 25 дней назад

Another great mini (!), US uniforms had always been a bit tough to obtain, expecially those of early war. Now there are a lot of colours useful for this, very effective trick for 5 o'clock, when I was doing 1/35 figures I used (strongly diluited) Feldgrau.

@busterbrown3099 27 дней назад

Sonic Tonic! Love it! Patent pending…

@jim4549 27 дней назад

Man, those eyes turned out perfect! Great job overall sir.

@thegreatwave1 27 дней назад

Could you do some speedpaint/contrast Soviets? I’m starting Bolt Action when 3rd edition releases and I’ve got my eye on the Soviets!!

@SonicSledgehammerStudio 27 дней назад

Eventually! I need to find my Soviet box somewhere...

@malcomnotinthemiddle343 24 дня назад

I’d like to second and my daughter third this request:) too many soviets to want to paint traditional a speed/contrast would be wonderful! Anyways love your videos and thank you 😊

@SPD3DPrinting 27 дней назад

Great guidance as always! Appreciate your providing the inspiration to paint my models.

@zargonfuture4046 26 дней назад

Enjoyed that tutorial, great subject to do right now.

@happygingertime 24 дня назад

One thing on the gloves. There were two styles of the standard issued ones. One was green wool with black leather sewn on the palm side. The other style is actually the style still issued to this day which is black leather with green wool liner. Then there were all manner of special issued gloves and mittens as well as woolen ones knitted by the red cross. In this officers case it would be most likely he would have acquired the green wool with black leather palm if he wasn't able to get his hands on mittens

@SonicSledgehammerStudio 24 дня назад

Go figure! I didn't realize that some of those gloves were still the same style. I'd read about gloves and mittens coming from the Red Cross or even care packages from home, so the colour of them didn't strike me as being all that important, but tidbits like this are super helpful to know!

@bo12328 27 дней назад

My go to for NCOs is the "HAND OF COMMAND" (pointing hand)

@johnkelley9877 24 дня назад

The figure looks great and the snow effects really makes the model and look like it is really cold weather! Thanks for sharing this.

@zargonfuture4046 26 дней назад

I tend not to do eyes in WW2 unless pulpy type characters for adventure gaming, I just leave shadows to bring the grimness of war to the figures with a strong highlight on the top of the cheeks, shows well on the tabletop.

@carabus0354 25 дней назад

I think that's the best paint job I have see you do to date! Very nice. Simple and yet very well done.

@Jim-yk9if 27 дней назад

"Lieutenant Bozo" LOL I come for the painting tips, but stay for the jokes! That 5 o'clock shadow works so well. Also, I can see mugs and tee shirts with "Sonic Sledgehammer Studios - So Very Extra" on them. 😛

@mavstorm4588 27 дней назад

Great guide as usual ❤. I can't wait for the new Bolt action kit 🥰

@xGamermonkeyx 26 дней назад

Awesome video as always mate! Also great showing of Valhallan Blizzard, it's always my go-to for snow and I've used it for almost all my Battletech miniatures as well!

@SonicSledgehammerStudio 26 дней назад

There's a few good snow products out there, but I find I usually come straight back to Valhallan Blizzard. Definitely one of those bottles that's worth the price of admission.

@CallumRFord 27 дней назад

Great work! If the jacket had multiple manufacturers it probably was multiple shades of brown depending on who made it!

@docremington1589 26 дней назад

Dear Sonic, I want to tell you that I truly love your content and I appreciate you enormously! I’m currently in a place where hobby time is nearly non existent! Having your videos motivates me to no ends. Seeing how relatively easily you get such great results, makes me think that all is not lost. In fact I’ll paint my Turnip28 guys according to your method… once I get around to building them that is! 😂 Thank you, sir! Thank you for being around!

@leestevenson1236 27 дней назад

A lovely job 🫡👏👏

@oldschoolfrp2326 27 дней назад

Nice results - and RKX is new to me, they have some good looking figures and a couple of free sample STLs. I know not everyone wants to commit to winter-themed figures and terrain, but I tend to paint figures in greatcoats much faster than regular uniforms.

@irishtom30 27 дней назад

Can't wait to see how 3rd edition plays out, will have to buy more officers though

@thracian5116 27 дней назад

looks great, I don't have enough patience for all those details though haha

@panimala 27 дней назад

Love your videos! A very dark brown skin shade over the entire eyes or even eye area has worked really well for me. This scale I feel is simply too small and hard to be able to give the detail that eyes need to be believable.

@rjlarose5271 27 дней назад

O good. I've been meaning to expand my US airborne. This will help with the battle of the bulge portion of my army.

@nickdavis5420 27 дней назад

Those eyes 👀 guys those German vitamins are great!!

@Volgan16666 27 дней назад

I dont do eye! full stop. They always end up like they are about to pop out like in a classic Tom and Jerry cartoons.

@MrPiotrowicz 27 дней назад

@sleepsinleaves 27 дней назад

Yay snow! Boo 100 degree days with 115 heat index.... :(

@samsolopeeps 27 дней назад

Pen for eyes 👀 👍

@SonicSledgehammerStudio 27 дней назад

This works too, tho! 😂

@MrEnglischjules 26 дней назад

@theandf 27 дней назад

I love it. My worry with these kind of elaborate bases is that they are too fragile for handling and real gaming... are they? I mean the tufts and all those snowy chunks.

@SonicSledgehammerStudio 26 дней назад

Not at all. The snow paste is dry to the touch after about an hour, and within three or four hours it's rock solid. That stuff's not coming off without a chisel - the miniature will break before the base does! 😂

@zirrian 27 дней назад

One paint is Green Grey, the other is Grey Green :)

@bo12328 27 дней назад

Or, at least at hobby lobby in the US: one is Light Green Greg now

@andyshaw5378 27 дней назад

Very nice. I thought the Warlord ones the brown coats where way too bright

@SonicSledgehammerStudio 27 дней назад

Yeeeah, a few of the recent studio paint jobs for the WWII stuff have been... *interesting.*

@retzius75 27 дней назад

Always enjoy your videos, Troy. I noticed that for a time you were using Strong Tone or Strong Skin shade mixed with Speedpaint medium but have since moved away from that. Any reason why? Just curious as I always enjoy trying out new mixes etc. Thanks!

@SonicSledgehammerStudio 27 дней назад

Colour and flow, mostly. The juice mix is a little more subtle and a bit warmer than the Strong Skin Shade by itself, weirdly. The flow properties of including Speedpaint Medium to thin out the shades are super useful, but I do like the more fluid version you get with Lahmian Medium and the new Reikland Fleshshade.

@MrSphinchee 27 дней назад

How would you recreate the sonic tonic without using citadel products?

@SonicSledgehammerStudio 26 дней назад

The short answer is that I wouldn't. The slightly longer answer is that the properties of the wash depend on the materials used; it's possible I could find a third party artist's medium or something, and a warm reddish wash to use instead, but I've spent long enough fussing over getting this mix right. The important thing is that the ingredients should be widely available and easily accessible - hard to guarantee if I find something that works out of a German stationary store. 😅

@tomdulski3729 27 дней назад

So are there new US winter minis coming out from Bolt action?

@SonicSledgehammerStudio 26 дней назад

There are indeed! Check out the Warlord page, they're all over the place - same with winter Fallschirmjaeger!

@JoyousOblivion 26 дней назад

What was the name of the brush on varnish? Couldn’t catch it.

@SonicSledgehammerStudio 25 дней назад

Whoops! It's Instar's Varnish+. I'll add it to the description, I hadn't noticed I'd missed it.

@JoyousOblivion 25 дней назад

@@SonicSledgehammerStudioThanks kindly, excellent timing on this video. I’d watched your other one too but gonna be copying this one for my newer models!
