Whats the military game in the first few seconds? DO WANT!
really nice eyes
how long do you soak the miniatures?
Thanks for your great tips!
Many greetings from Germany 🙂
Never done this before but am very eager to try it out, the miniatures for Doom look way too good to pass up.
looks like Donald Trump
Can you please get hold of the new Labyrinth figures & paint them for us. They arrive as a dull grey colour.
couldnt you just wash it with watered down brown at the end?
why would you paint from dark to light? seems strange, but I'm new to miniature painting
Flesh color… racist
I've been painting mini's for a little while now, but took a break, and recently got back into it.
I've never thought to do that trick with the highlights. I usually just use a wash, over the color to define those 'folds' in clothing and such. But using your method and adding a wash would be really nice.
I paint these just to paint them, and don't play any of the games, so that is helpful.
Great vid man! Thanks!
Well done! Very detailed and helpful explanations and a you have a nice technique as well.
However, i miss the use inks/washes here. Especially for Board Gaming Minis, they are far more time effective and very easy to use.
Applying several layers and working up from dark to light colours seems too much effort. I use primer, then colours (brown for shoes, blue for jeans, etc.), then inks, done. Maybe, in case of heroes, some small highlights for dark colours and some details for eyes but the heads of boardgaming minis are sometimes so very small you'd have to paint an eye on a less than 1x1mm area. Possible? yes. P.i.t.a. to do that for like 70 mini-minis? Oh yes.
… can i use just normal primer that's not made for miniatures ?
Do NOT use the back of your thumb to whip off paint for dry brushing. Acrylic and miniature paint is very bad for you and can cause nerve, brain, and liver damage. A good alternative is a paper towel.
Seriously THE BEST no bs video a beginner like myself could hope for! Thank you for helping me bypass some of the frustration and jump right into painting a nice collection of miniatures!!
Why dont you not just use ink/washes instead. A lot quicker method!
A very useful tutorial. Thanks by the video!
oh shit! this rocks! Awarding, thanks.
Great vid. Subbed after this 🙂
