A voyage into miniature painting and all things related!
Welcome to The Hobby Grotto, and thanks for stopping by! In my 30 years of painting and hobbying I've picked up many useful techniques, but I'm still always learning! The goal of this channel is to spread some of that knowledge while continuing my own painting journey. All too often you can get bogged down in the details and processes of painting, so I'd like to try and present achievable results and accessible paint schemes as much as possible that anyone can use and build upon as their own skill increases.
I don't do this full-time (as much as I'd like to!) so sometimes life gets in the way of my upload schedule. I try to put out a new video every fortnight but I can't make any promises! Any support through the following links is greatly appreciated 😊

Think you could do a video showing how you paint trees and wooden staves?
Base coat in Purple. Try it, it will blow your mind.
I mostly do tanks and planes. But finding citadel paints sure is an ez button. But I’ll say. The easiest way to do eyes is using oil v acrylic and letting them separate on there own for the color and pupil. Still finicky and can fail on occasion ie doubles or figure 8. Anyone else have eye Color tricks?
Man this is such a great find, thanks for sharing your process! Good white primer is crazy expensive, I was looking for a way to prime+paint up my own batch of skeletons using cheap black primer and this popped up in my recommended. Instant sub!
Awesome, glad to hear you found the video useful! White primer is so temperamental I find, plus black primer is just more versatile anyway! 😁
Primaris helmet 💀💀
Sometimes i watch these and i just think, “HAVE YOU TRIED PAINTING THEM GREEN YET!?”
Haha it's really the best way 🤣
obviously, you will have trouble with a black undercoat. try white undercoat and a yellow contrast paint. No more trouble and perfect every time
Who said anything about having trouble? I like painting yellow this way! White undercoat is not my style mate 😉
@@TheHobbyGrotto clearly, you had trouble, we saw the black through the yellow for a while. Also, style or not, it's still easier. Work smarter, not harder
Reading Harrowmaster makes me wanna paint an army for the Serpant's Teeth, this helps a lot
Nice one, glad to hear the video helped! 😁
I find doing a layer of my original base coat after the wash then moving on to the mixed shades helps with the blends a lot more
I've generally always done another layer of the basecoat after the wash with my painting, but I've found I don't have to do that quite as often these days now that the new Nuln Oil doesn't stain as much. Of course your mileage may vary with other washes, and certainly on a larger model more layers like you mentioned will get that blend looking even smoother 😀
Hydra dominatus
I've always had the adagae of "if you have to really look to try and see it, then don't bother painting it. Boots hidden under robes, under the arms, chest details hidden behind weapons, etc.
I feel the same way, it's why I rarely use sub assemblies when painting too.
This is the first video I've ever seen to bring up the zenithal highlight without pulling out the accursed air brush.
Hahaha I try to keep the airbrush out of my videos because I know not everyone uses them. Of course, all this stuff works with the airbrush too (or rattlecan), but nothing wrong with traditional brushwork!
Looks like shit
Now this is what I needed to know ❤ thank you 🙏
Glad to help! 😁
This is how I do my alpha legion for 30k
My #1 most versatile paint is probably cygor brown. It’s almost like a natural black. Goes good on bloodthirster wings, lord of change talons/beak, bloodletter horns, and more. My #2 is blood angels red. It’s good for any injury like what you see with Nurgle daemons, Khorne daemon skin, and dry brushing blood onto weapons
I'll check that one out, looks quite useful!
man that looks crusty, is that the primer or something?
That's just how drybrushed metallic pigments look when super zoomed in on camera. If you grab a pot of your own metallic paint, open it, and stare at it super close under bright light you will see how it looks different to regular acrylic, almost like there are tiny metal flecks in there. The mini looks completely fine in person 😁
Wow!! Contrast paints with metallics? Really? You're only 2 years too late to be original.
Thanks for watching, this short was edited together from a video I put out over 2 years ago on my channel about contrast glazes on metallics, feel free to check it out 😉
I am new to the paining part of the hobby - been a lore hound for a while. Playing Raven Guard. I realize the RG are basic black, but wondering if this sort of thing can give me a hint of metallic under the black/raven purple paint scheme of the RG so that they are not entirely "flat black" without having to dive into metallic blacks - a lot harder for new painters.
It can definitely work with the right contrast/speed paint. I've done metallic black before with Black Templar contrast but you might be able to find something even darker. Best option is to experiment with a test model and see how it looks! 😀
@TheHobbyGrotto Thanks. First thing I ever bought in the models long time ago is a 9th Edition Starter Kit. Never opened the box. Maybe it's become valuable these days lol. But I might use that or just buy a set of 3D prints to experiment with colors and method with before I mess with the costly items. I would love to find a way to catch that irresescent purple/blue you get with real raven feathers. There in the right light kind of thing. But I'm just glad that doing this with basic blackworks well.
I do this with Orks, prime it dark green, dry brush with a lighter green, then paint the clothes
Been a fan of this style of painting for years
80s- 90s miniatures were better that’s just me
There's definitely something special about them, I'll always love that classic style!
I think we can all agree nurglings are adorable
It's a fact!
I think this is how I’m gonna do my death guard terminators too but I need to find a good contrast paint that’s similar to death guard green
I’m gonna do this with my mkVI tactical squad, just don’t know which chapter to do
Ever paint flames of war
I've always wanted to actually! 😀
He be wearing that gotham steel armor
I use brown as a base colour then i build up with the yellow.
Brown is a great base for yellow, I often use XV-88 😁
No blues? No blacks? No white scar? Come on now.
Haha mate, these are just five paints that I think are great to have, not the only five paints you will ever need! Everyone has black and white already, they're a given. In fact, I actually have another video on the channel where I talk about the best paints for STARTING a collection. You will find black and white in there of course, as well as some blues 😉
Idris Elba looks badass as a Stormcast eternal
Hahaha too right! 😆
How do you go about selecting colors for a limited pallet? Im just learning to paint snd color selection is a struggle for me .
You mainly want to keep to one or two bold feature colours, and then compliment these with neutral colours like brown, black etc. Something that can really help is looking at characters from comics, games, and other source material, you can often find bold limited colour palettes in these areas. They're also just great for colour scheme inspiration 😀
I think citadel is really over priced. But you're definitely right there reds and golds are probably the best as well as their contrast. The white and yellow sucks tho
For me in Australia, the price difference between Citadel, Vallejo and Army Painter is pretty negligible, all the pots are around the $6 mark. Citadel is the most consistent brand in terms of availability so that's a big selling point for me, but mainly I'm just used to them 😁
Which yellow did you use for the armour trim?
The trim is Averland Sunset, followed by Yriel Yellow. Highlights were added with a 50/50 mix of Yriel Yellow and white.
Best base for red. Start with hide, then 50/50 with pure red, then straight red. Does a great job every time.
Kandros green with a flesh color base and wased in nulin oil makes a really good green skin
I don’t highlight…
Even easier 😆
@ LOL
Hey folks, for those interested in the grot minis they were sculpted by Mezgike! You can find them on his website/MyMiniFactory 😁
I found making a wash from a purple and brown or purple and green wash really adds some life to the paint. It works even better with sickly greens
Nice tip! Purple is a great colour to add to the mix for cool effects! 😁
You know what works great? Cadmium yellow. Also zinc chromate... Kids today 😂
