If you're new to mini painting, I've made a very beginner-friendly guide to show you how to take your minis from the sprue, building, cleaning, priming, painting, shading, highlighting, and even transfers! • Build and paint your f...
Thank you for explaining the consistency. Literally every other video just says till it pulls back but none said milky consistency and that’s why I never felt like I did it right. I will have to try this my next painting session
I know ita not finished but i actually really like the way the orc looks at the end. Its got like a Saturday morning cartoon/low res video game vibe to it.
Yooooooooooooooooooooooo Congrats on being the most goated person giving painting tips on yt shorts. Most of us are beginners, we dont need tips on zenith painting or power sword gradient. We need tips on how to get on that level first, so dam do I appreciate this. It's the simple stuff that veteran painter do everytime without thinking about it that we might not know & making out lives harder lol
People say thin your paints but not many say how to do so as if people are expected to know what the Hell that means lol. Thank you very much for the vid.
A little tip. The consistency of milk never helped me it was to vague. What I found is that if I dialute my paint to a point where when I brush strope it on my pallet is doesn't stay put but slightly contracts into itself I have dialuted it enough to go on in 2-3 coats.
I've discovered some fun doing 1 thin coat of regular paint intentionally leaving it a little patchy. Once that's dry, i do a second layer, this time in a similar color of speedpaint. Really brings more variety out of the Speedpaints or contrasts when the color of the surface underneath isn't perfectly uniform.
I don’t use water to thin my paints. I makes sure my paints are evenly distributed across my figures. I use small amounts of paint on a tiny brush, works wonders
I converted my warboss by using a power klaw from the combat patrol box, removing the shoota grot and also gluing barrels to the nob pistol and again attaching it to my warboss
This vid popped back up on my feed and I unknowingly was like “hey that purple is so nice! I want to know what it is”. Then I realized I literally came back to write this comment again 8 months later. That purple will forever sit in my diary as the one that got away. It’s so damn nice!!
I reccomend covering the entire figure in black and drybrushing it afterwards in gray (drybrushing is when you use a brush with water mixed paint that dryed so much that the paint doesnt flow anymore) after that you paint it with contrast paint instead of normal paint, now you got all the cracks etc.. filled with black paint and therefor a shadow effect, it will make the figures look 10 times better and more realistic
I honestly struggled with trying to find a solution using yellow, orange and certain reds it just wouldn’t stick to my miniatures so I avoided those colors in general. But I’m definitely trying this method and giving those colors another try 😅
Roman: Interesting, while basecoating I never thin my paints as much as you do. I rather use two thick coats to have hrear coverage. There is so much more to explore in painting than just repeat what everyone else is doing ... still, cool and helpful video 😊
If only it was that simple…life would be grand! My paint always seems to be too thick or too thin…how do you find that sweet spot? Why can’t they simply manufacture paint at the correct consistency to get that smooth application?
Ok no one’s making videos on this but I’m tryna make a galand custom from seven deadly sins but no talks about how to make your figures shine so my armour would look better how do I do it?
So I have a question. I have never seen anyone paint the figurine pieces by pieces before assembling them. Is there a reason why ? Like an unwritten rule or smth or did I just not found a video like that yet ?
Most people prefer to fully assemble, then paint, but it's all personal taste. I just finished the warboss in mega armor pictured above, but I primed and painted all the biggest pieces separately. Check out midwinter minis video from a couple years ago where he paints an Eldar, he paints every piece individually, then assembles.
