What can we expect of the state created by the Emperor? He ran around in a giant gold-plated suit of power armor, with gold-plated custodians, and now chills on his golden throne in the middle of a gold palace. To have his Imperial Guardsmen not wearing gold would be heresy.
That was a joy to watch, definitely bring Ant back some time! Though, I really do hope you and Goobertown Hobbies do something for all those little greenies you have to batch paint...
"As I'm a bit of a gentleman and....." - can't help but think of the monocle wearing ork meme.. 😂 😂 😂 😂 Great video you two and my greetings to the fellow greenskin! Ps: paint your g..... 😂 😂 😂
Man, I don't comment on TH-cam fairly often but I just have to say that this episode was particularly entertaining. I hope Ant is able to drop in from time to time, that was genuinely quite funny.
You guys make me crack up. Thank you for the comedic love to your videos and i cant wait for a tank tutorial to match this. Thank you for what you do and the time and effort of making these videos, it is appreciated. Garlash
Absolutely fabulous tutorial from Ant! Always nice to see my favourite faction get some love. And don't forget...always use a soft cloth to wipe the rim...its the gentleman's way indeed.
Kudos to Ant for being so entertaining that was a fun wee video, I laughed especially at the idea of that chap losing his lasgun, if you are a Cadian up against sayyyy Tyranids and you drop your lasgun you literally have the fighting prowess of a walking pork chop, that would be terrifying!
if i had to make a list of my favorite armies, number one would be Orks and number two is Imperial Guard. and i am very pleased to see you made a speed paint video of both the guardsman models AND the ork boys because those are practically in every army for both so it helps alot haha! they look amazing too! im very happy to have found this channel when i did
Actually, in firearms terminology, "furniture" would refer to the stock and grips. What you commonly call the "casing" would actually be the receiver. And for your first time painting on camera, Ant, you did a smashing job. 10/10 would watch again.
My top tip for Cadians is 2 layers of spray undercoat. I do 1 and mask off with blobs/lines of blutac and the spray a 2nd colour for a very lazy and organic looking camo.
I just Love the way you guys make these Imperial guard look so good I have an Imperial guard myself but I am awful at painting them wish I had your skills lol
My lad does Cadians in a traitor guard unit, a really big unit. He was inspired by the blood pact troops in the Gaunt's Ghosts. I did him a couple of squads of Vets and included back packs and the like for them to stand out with either the shovels or picks from the spare bits. Nice work on the eyes by the way. One of the few painters I have seen who makes the iris fit the whole of the white of the eye so they look angry and surprised.
I saw "Canadian Shock Troops" and I wondered, "WTH???" Then I heard you say, "Warhammer and CADIAN" and I thought, OK, not Canadians. I can't imagine what Canadian Shock Troops would look like or how they would act! Canadians are generally so polite and pleasant natured people.
When I heard the name Ant and heard your friends voice all I could think of was the 80s brit artist Adam Ant. I like your friends voice Midwinter, he should look into a gig djing for a radio station.
Actually I too find Death Guard Green to be a very good military grey-green. I don't paint Death Guard but I do find myself using the paint on quite a lot of my miniatures.
Great little tutorial that. Nice one guys! :) I think I laughed a little too hard at the joke about cleaning the rim of the base with a tissue over using your finger! haha. Keep up the great work as always! ^^
I'm planning on getting brood brothers so this was of very much help,but I'd probably paint their fatigues brown for contrast and paint their leg armor green
I think the reason behind doing Zandri Dust first was that the trickier bits (the recessed armour plates) are easier just to prime, shade, and forget. The green parts are easier to get to in this scheme :)
Oooooh, I like how they came out. Any chance at showcasing Catachans and Skaven next? >.>;;;; .....No, I swear it isn't because I have giant boxes of each of those, still primered and unpainted.... Including my Catachans, which were a primer army of doom at an event in 2006....
Interesting, I paint my guardsmen while they are still on the sprue and finish with a brushed on black wash but it's always nice to see someone elses method
@@pianomanwithapianoplan504 it makes it easier to get hard to reach areas and then you just take them off the sprue clean the area and paint that little mark its more of a high detail thing rather than a speed paint.
@@thatminiguy611 but isn’t it a pain to have to repaint that tiny area of cut of spruce after? Also is it hard to visualise what the finished model would look like?
@@pianomanwithapianoplan504 well personally it isnt very hard to visualize what I'm going for because I've got the idea for my uniforms down but I see where you are coming from but with cadians it's just green armor on khaki dress with black boots and green and grey guns black belts gold buckles and white insignias and you're done
I like the normal Tan Uniform and Green Armor for my Gaurdsmen but I also go a bit extreme and add a lot of weathering and they come out a dirty brownish tan and scratched green armor Might try the green style for a special squad?
TOO LATE FOR ME. I already used your traitor guard scheme on my Cadian shock troops! Fun dynamic you’ve got going on camera. Maybe a battle report could be in the future?
We actually already filmed one, a 500 point game between Orks and Ultramarines, classic match-up, but there were technical difficulties which unfortunately shelved the episode, sad times. It was amazing too, right down to the wire. We'll have to organise a REMATCH!
Out of curiosity, after the wash why not do the final dry brush before tidying up the armour plates? Seems as though if there is any overbrush you can clean up the armour without going back over it?
I dont know if its you camera/ editing process, but alot of your minis end up looking kind of dark. I have some T’au that i want to make bright orange, but im not sure how agrax earthshade/ dry brushing will affect the brightness of the orange. So for your next tutorial could you do you a brighter model? Ps: you should have more of your friends make videos with you, and share how they do their armies!
I do tend to make things a little "grimdark", that's just my style. These guys are also a little gritty and grimy, but we think it suits the aesthetic. If you're looking for bright, vibrant schemes, Next Level Painting is one of the masters of that look :)
@@TheEwker Yes, in retrospect this makes sense-no offence to the heroes of history! And indeed perhaps the world overall would benefit from shock troops who are more polite.
the warm globe lighting takes something away from the vid. Grab a Cool / Daylight globe for the next one homie. (and probably defuse it so there isnt such harsh shadow on the other side of the model)
Yeah yeah, totally, this was filmed at our dining table rather than my tiny little recording space that I usually use. Also, thanks to some recent donations and new Patrons, we've also upgraded to a seriously swanky light! You'll see :)

Thanks Garlash! What's the point unless you're having fun, eh? :)
@@MidwinterMinis any chance of a tank tutorial video soon!? :D
Best tutorial for Shock Troops I've seen yet, thank you!!
Oh really? Thanks so much!
Ant sounds like he should do "Miniature painting ASMR" or something xD Great video.
New niche? ;)
What are these? Cadians for ants?!?
How can we be expected to teach children to paint, when they can't even fit inside the building?
One of my favorite painting channels by now. Fast and easy approach. Very relaxing commentary/explanation with a bit of fun mixed in. I love it.
Thanks Scoots! Glad you're digging our stuff, it's certainly a passion project :)
Can I put in a vote for "one of the most wholesome communities I've found so far"?
I have been putting off my guard for so long, this has given me inspiration to get them done
Nice! Yeah, a great big horde can be a bit intimidating :)
Loved Ant, awesome addition. Come for the minis stay for the laughs.
Thanks Rob, glad you enjoyed it :)
Great video format. I appreciate that it is concise. Very funny.
"Spill the beans!". I loved it! Easy and sharp looking! 👍
Thanks John! :)
@@MidwinterMinis Tell Ant that those minis looked good! I really liked how the faces and skin turned out!
probably the only entertaining painting tutorial I've ever watched. more please!
Great commentary from Ant, Bring him back again.
Noted! :)

Wipe around the rim with your finger 🤣🤣🤣 this is supposed to be family friendly! Love it.

Now you have my attention!
Very good.
I really like this scheme.
Thanks! It's really simple, but a whole squad still looks great :)
Whenever I hear this music, I just think of Blackstone fortress! Great video guys!
The unofficial theme song ;)
@@MidwinterMinis indeed! Thanks to you,penny and the song, I just have few more minis to do 😁
I love this scheme!
Thank you!
This was great. Keep up the good work.
This is a nice one. I have a couple of shock troops so I’ll paint them up using this.
Awesome, good luck Ben! :)
'If this is a counselor ship, then where is the ambassador!?' Great vid, I've been putting off finishing my troopers, this'll put me over the hump!
Haha, nice reference ;)
You guys should paint some cadians like starship troopers.
My top tip for Cadians is 2 layers of spray undercoat. I do 1 and mask off with blobs/lines of blutac and the spray a 2nd colour for a very lazy and organic looking camo.
Lazy Blutac Camo! Love it
Those look good. A few units of these will look great on the table I am sure. Nice one.
Good tutorial and genuinely really funny
Thank you Pat, we had a good laugh :)
So good, well done. CADIA!!!!!!!!!!!!
Awesome thanks
Optional torture noises = WIN
SPILL THE BEANS, Ishpeck!
More of Ant, please! Thanks for these great seriers! Just signed up as a patreon.
Thank YOU for watching! :)
I just Love the way you guys make these Imperial guard look so good I have an Imperial guard myself but I am awful at painting them wish I had your skills lol
i love this video thank you so much i need to whip up my own batch of shade!
Guy ‘I have defeated you in this game of 40k, I guess you could say..’
Ant ‘don’t say it!’
Guy ‘I crushed you like an ant, mwahaha!’
Ant ‘I hate you’
If I ever beat him, I'll be sure to use that line ;)
Midwinter Minis I better hear it in a video
@@aidencoxmusicguy5097 He better.
IVE BEEN WAITING SO LONG FOR THIS. THANK YOU!
You're welcome matey! :)
Nice way to paint cadians, I paint my ad mech similarly, spray red, pick out the wood leather silver and bronze bits, wash and highlight and done
So many minis, not enough time! :)
Cool
Cheers!

I'm I saw someone playing a Cadian/Canadian army on MiniWarGaming a while ago, complete with maple motifs and red and white scheme.
Actually Canadians are pretty baddass when comes to warfare
Love this vid and again pg tips agrees with this
Haha, thanks mate :)
Great video love the outcome I’m so tempted to start a cadian army
New video. Awesome!
Enjoy! :)
Great episode 1/1
1 out of 1? Hot damn, thanks! ;)
that was rad, thanks boys
Cheers Josh! :)
When I heard the name Ant and heard your friends voice all I could think of was the 80s brit artist Adam Ant. I like your friends voice Midwinter, he should look into a gig djing for a radio station.
Thanks! Prince Charming is one of those songs that I shouldn't love, but I really, really do.
Death Guard Green on the Emperor's finest? That's heresy
Mwahahaaa. Heresy is subjective ;)
Actually I too find Death Guard Green to be a very good military grey-green. I don't paint Death Guard but I do find myself using the paint on quite a lot of my miniatures.
I hear you, but under the category of True Confessions I too use this paint on my Catachans. The Emperor forgive me!
This was helpful, as I'm trying to find a colour scheme I like for my Astra Militarum chaps.
Thanks! This hopefully strikes a nice balance between realism, ease of painting, and grimdark ;)
Necromunda minis next. Cheers.
Hopefully soon! I love them :)
Hey Ant, I wondered when you were going to make an appearance!
Jolly good show chap!
I'm sure you'll see him again! :)
Great little tutorial that. Nice one guys! :) I think I laughed a little too hard at the joke about cleaning the rim of the base with a tissue over using your finger! haha. Keep up the great work as always! ^^
Haha, thank you. We had most of the steps scripted out, but I left that one open for improv ;) I think it worked quite well
You should probably release your background music, is absolutely amazing.
Soon my dude, soon :)
@@MidwinterMinis But not soon enough, god danm it
@@MidwinterMinis is it soon yet?
i like to paint the entire lasgun black, and then heavily drybrush leadbelcher or runefang steel. Looks almost like modern carbon steel firearms.
I'm planning on getting brood brothers so this was of very much help,but I'd probably paint their fatigues brown for contrast and paint their leg armor green
My wife says you did a wonderful job on your first time painting on camera.
I think my demonettes of slaanesh would like to meet those guard
For a fun, wholesome game of Uno?
Alien Beans!
#Finger Rim Wiper. Not as catching as #Wiggly Bois. But I'd still buy that T-shirt haha.
Haha, oh no, that might cause some weird looks ;)
@@MidwinterMinis and wiggly bois wouldn't lol
Love the paint scheme, I’ve been using it on my new Guard army. Would you ever do a video to show how you’d paint the tanks that match this scheme?
Hacker tip: Would be even faster if you undercoat them in deathworld green (they make that spray too)
I think the reason behind doing Zandri Dust first was that the trickier bits (the recessed armour plates) are easier just to prime, shade, and forget. The green parts are easier to get to in this scheme :)
I demand more eyes!
... Tyranids? Haha
@@MidwinterMinis painted eyes, but tyranids work too. great channel btw
Speaking of hordes, I'd love to see you try your hand with Orks.
My hand is WELL versed with Orks ;)
Oooooh, I like how they came out. Any chance at showcasing Catachans and Skaven next? >.>;;;;
.....No, I swear it isn't because I have giant boxes of each of those, still primered and unpainted.... Including my Catachans, which were a primer army of doom at an event in 2006....
Maybe at some point! If not directly, then definitely some similar models that hopefully will still be useful :)
Interesting, I paint my guardsmen while they are still on the sprue and finish with a brushed on black wash but it's always nice to see someone elses method
I’ve ever seen anyone do that before. Wouldn’t that make it more awkward to paint?

Might try the green style for a special squad?
Great tutorial. Personally I would have used ministorum grey instead of green to contrast against the zandri dust. But hey that's just my taste

My dad is into guardsmen.
"How to paint quickly"
Watched the video like 10 times and the fastest I can do it is like an hour at least xD
Um, lasguns are battery operated not magazine fed. It fires energy projectiles not physical bullets.
Yeah, but people call stuff the wrong name all the time, don't worry too much about it ;)
Perfect mix of tutorial and entertainment. 10/10 would not report to my Kommissar.
Haha, thanks mate :) Glad you enjoyed it!

@Midwinter Minis: how did you guys paint the eyes on those guys? They really look good.
Any chance you could do a video on how to paint Fabius bile. No one seems to have done one.
Out of curiosity, after the wash why not do the final dry brush before tidying up the armour plates? Seems as though if there is any overbrush you can clean up the armour without going back over it?
You could do! We just tend to find that these particular models are pretty forgiving, so you can do them in this order :)

So if I want the more classic look what colors do I change out and do I change the primer as well?
