- This is my favorite way to pick a paint scheme. It's fun and it helps me get great colors for my models. This strategy emphasizes experimentation and discovery. In the next video I'm going to use the paint scheme I find here to paint this force of slaves to darkness for my Warhammer Age of Sigmar army!

Dana Howl paint scheme planning • How to Plan Color Sche...
I hope you enjoyed this method of picking out paint colors! It should be useful for warhammer fantasy, age of sigmar, LOTR, kings of war, star wars legion, or any other large tabletop battle games where you want to make a lot of minis look cool quickly.

My club had a legendary painter that based everything in Citadel metallic purple, because according to him "it was the best color."
We still honor his goofiness by trying to include dashes of the OP color on as many minis as possible.
Hahahaha, life would be so much easier if I just had a single favorite color :-)
I wish they still made those colored metallics
I was watching this episode with my daughter...she calls you the Bob Ross of miniatures. No mistakes...happy little changes...lol. Your calm laid back demeanor actually fits!
I was about to comment that he was lol
You get the point :-D
This is an accurate assessment.
Hehehe, I hope you two are having a great day! :-)
Literally the biggest compliment one could give!
Really liked that olive green, silver and red combo.
Thanks, me too! :-)
But first I must test 24 methods of preparing the eggs for the painting marathon.
Would you be surprised to learn that I bought exactly 24 eggs today???????
Not in the slightest

to be fair, every single color you did looks good. i wouldnt complain if my whole army was multicolored like that.
That could definitely be fun :-) I've taken the "cowards way out" and refused to choose a color for my Dark Eldar army already though...
Rainbow warriors did exist at one point in the lore. They'd be the multicolored warriors of fire and fury

I know this might sound a bit off, but I love that you mention some things in this video that are often overlooked in other painting channels/videos. Painting paralysis and more importantly fun. Thank you for reminding people the hobby is supposed to be fun and often it is our own fears hesitance apprehension, etc. that prevents us from just getting in there and having fun. Happy New Year!
Yep, I absolutely put those things in here on purpose, we need to think and talk about our painting emptions more! heheheh :-) Happy New Year to you as well, Rob!
Hi
Brent, i just wanted to say thank you.
I've stumbled upon your channel a moth or so ago. It was a hard time for me emotionally and your videos were comforting and reminded me that i can try to get back to this hobby (i've paintet some minis before but then a lot of life happened). I've had a board game "blood rage" lying at home so i've bought some vallejo paints and started painting. And i've been addictevly painting for the last month. I've never realised how much i've missed this hooby. And i'm happy to say that my mental health got better as i used these painting sessions as sort of meditation to clear my head and thoughts.
Thank you again for reminding me how much i've missed this hobby at the right time when i needed it.
Hey Daniel! Keep spreading positivity whenever you have some to spare and good things will come of it. Thanks for sharing a bit of your journey with me, much respect. Stay mindful of your health, my friend. Keep seeking out the things that help and bring you happiness. Oh, and Happy New Year! It's gonna be a good one :-)
Brent makes me feel bad that i'm a pottymouth when i mess up paint, I should definitely change my approach for the better
Be kind to yourself, Kirk :-)
I’ve begun to change my outlook on life from watching these videos 😂 I listen while I sleep 😂
Soothing and positive
Oh, that new Slaves To Darkness box is lovely. I can't wait to see you paint those new sculpts.
I'm gonna crack it open really soon- I'm pumped!!! :-)
“Glass half empty? No no no no no, glass half full!” Liking the continuous positivity in all your videos :)
Hehehehe :-)
Brent posts a new vid, I like it. This is the way.

@@GoobertownHobbies i have spoken
Brent is the Bob Ross of Miniatures, dude is so chill
16:00 "The Joy of Painting"
Orange, red and purple one are my favorites.
:-) Those are very strong contenders
I bought some "Easy to build" Space Marines for testing color schemes. They are cheap and I kept the backpacks separate so I can paint them different colors to see how they look paired with the marines.
Yes! That's the way to do it :-) I wish you the best of luck in finding your chapter :-)
Dude... I clicked on the video bcs the topic interested me and as soon as i saw it was you, i had a smile on my face...
You really are my favourite mini channel! :D
Thanks for this video and your infectious positive enthusiasm! I picked up my own army of Grots and a starter set of paint and just finished my first model yesterday and began work on five more right after. Really having a blast, just having fun painting them - not worrying if they're going to turn out perfect.
The Teal and Orange characters look really good.
;-)
Come on orange! Love that dark orange one. Or the magenta-red. I hope it's one of those 2.
;-)
Brent, I somehow stumbled across your channel a good while ago, even though I hadn't been into the hobby for nearly 20 years. Then a chance encounter with a GW boardgame, alongside your enthusiasm for the hobby, got me back into modelling. Your philosophy on model painting has been a great inspiration. I like to think about the story of the models, and I love moving away from the GW lore and box art to create my own. Thanks for the inspiration and teaching us all something about mindfulness.
That's awesome, thanks for leaving this note! I'm so glad that you've gotten back into the hobby. 2020 is gonna be a good year for painting minis :-)
Thank you for all the work you put in to demonstrating and teaching your techniques Brent. I'm just getting into painting minis and had no idea where to start until I found your channel.
Love this channel so much, I've rewatched pretty much all videos at least twice!
Amazing cats at the start too
:-) I'll pass along your compliments to these cats.
I love so much how no matter what the subject matter is to a video you inspire new ideas in mini painting for me. Whether is a cool paint scheme I saw or tips and tricks that you share. As always wonderful video Brent!
When I test out paint schemes or bases or anything really, I write down what I did in a little book, so if I like it I know how to exactly recreate it later. It's really nice to have such a book for combinations that work and even ones that don't work.
Happy Holidays Goober! Nice too see you back!
Looking forward to every video you post! :)
Happy Holidays to you as well! :-)
Fantastic! Nice tips for everybody! Great work! Can’t wait to see this army grow from the desk!
:-) I'm really looking forward to this one!
That’s EXACTLY how I feel about starting new squads/ armies of new models! Great post. Awesome tips& I enjoyed the thought process & video. Thanks man.
Right on! :-)
Amazing how this video came out today... right after I finished building my new army! This is really helpful 👍
Nice! Have fun!!!! :-)
There's a siege-cat on the field... we're all doomed!
This is great. I actually turned up a small case of old minis at the weekend that could do with this sort of treatment. I've always been more of a painter than a gamer (though I'm by no means a great painter; I'm competent, and good enough to impress my D&D players, but my eyes have been getting worse as I've got older and I also have a bit of a tremor problem in my hands) but I was chuffed to find this little box of random old guys from years ago. I'm building a dedicated area for painting, and I'm going to start collecting again, so this colour scheme audition process seems like it's the way to go! Thanks!
Another great tutorial Brentt! I had a lot of trouble picking a color scheme for a Leman Russ tank I am building but I finally made a decision to paint it in a worn desert scheme. You bring out a lot of good points and I will try this method in the future.
Sweet! The Tallarn are getting a tank! :-)
I like your vids Brent, your painting way is really good 👌🏻
@13:21, orange model on the left really strikes me as most interesting. The joy you communicate in painting is very contagious for 2020, thank you!
Brent you are the master of inks!
I can't believe no one has mentioned how much the blue one looks so much like Shovel Knight!
You are really the messenger of pure enjoyment and zen at painting miniatures, catching the most positive essence of the hobby. You are one of the main influences for getting into the hobby, and i am greatful for it! I will use a similiar process to determine a costum forgeworld scheme for my skitarii start collecting. Thank you!
I'm liking your channel more and more - it has a very relaxing feel to it! This is the way!
Happy to this see this come up after watching your most recent 24 hour paint video. This was helpful, and I really like the videos you pump out my man. "Bob Ross of Warhammer" indeed!
Great hearing you on Trapped Under Plastic.
It is really cool to hear you guys discuss the hobby in relation to TH-cam. Thanks for all the great content.
This was so fun and relaxing to watch. Nothing too close to pay attention to, just the sound of your voice and your wonderful philosophy. I can't wait to see what you chose in the next video! Personally I like the teal or the olive green with the yellow/brown undertone. Very foresty. Teal's just a favorite color of mine, even if it can be a bit garish.
Happy holidays, Brent! Looking forward to seeing more of you in the new year.
So good to see something about colour and experimentation. I always second-guess myself when it comes to colour and I often end up going back and changing them to how they "should" look....As though pirates and elves "should" look any particular way...
Happy Holidays!!! The fact that elves can be any color presents a whole different problem though doesn't it :-)
@@GoobertownHobbies ....Touche.
This is really good timing, I've been having trouble picking a colour scheme for my new Tau army, so thanks!
Good luck, Brendan! I hope the colors of the Tau reveal themselves to you! :-)
@@GoobertownHobbies Thanks, I'm thinking dark green and black with red glowing eyes, I'm hoping it'll be really cool :)
Thank you for your videos this year, looking forward to what you have to show us in 2020!
Love this channel! Very helpful, keep it up
:-)
So happy your channel is growing, you deserve all of this love because you produce sensational content.
TH-cam recommended this video to me, so of course I watched it. Lo and behold I see the same start collecting box that I just picked up the other night! Had to quick pause, go get a cup of tea, and settle in for some high quality learning!
It's a fun box! :-) #krackadrack
@@GoobertownHobbies I'm looking forward to exploring the Age of Sigmar game with these guys! Now I just need to figure out which books I need to buy, how to build a decent Slaves to Darkness list, and what other models I need to round out my first army.
It's super funny that you are talking about color schemes. Cause a few days back I decided to start being conscious about my color choices with my fantasy minatures. I have watched several videos on color schemes now and how to pick the right colors to compliment other choices I make. I am jazzed. Thanks for a cool video again looking forward to another 24hour challenge again, should be great!!!!
Love your videos Brent! Keep up the great work!
When I get new models I spend the first few days mulling over paint schemes, and trying paint combinations on the stencils the models come in, to get an idea of what the paint combinations look like. Once I find something I like, I make a start, then change my mind as often as I like. It is my army after all, and I can do whatever I like with it.
Well, I got that Slaves to Darkness Start Collecting set for myself for Xmas. The ones already assembled are staring at me, daring me to pick a scheme and start painting. And my favourite TH-cam mini painter anounces he is going to do a video on painting them... Sometimes you just feel all is correct in the Universe... :) . Happy Holidays to you, Brent , and all you people out there ;) .
Hehehe That's awesome!!! Best of luck to you in making that choice! :-)
No joke, I've never stalked a youtube channel until today. Seriously, you have the GLOW...keep it up, you are a truly inspiring individual giving hope to mere mortals!
Brent thanks as always have a happy and blessed new year
Amazing ❤️❤️ I wanna start painting and your videos are going to be my guide! Thank you
Thanks Brent this really helped since I’m currently in the process of investing in my first Necron army
Cliffhanger!!!! great vid and excellent practical advice and encouragement as always. Thanks Brent
Dude if you are playing chaos you gotta get that cat sphinx. Watching you paint or hobby with that model would be hobbying gold
There's a chaos sphinx model???
Yeah look up "sphiranx" I dont even play chaos but I want it just to paint. Honestly I've learned it's a breath of fresh air to break from the "grind" of doing army painting and doing side projects for a day, like a friends dnd model or a pin up
@@drewbakka5265 Oh cool! That sphiranx must be coming out in the next month or two??
@@GoobertownHobbies I THINK it comes out in January since the new start book is out. And the new Warriors were released this month
Very helpful advice. I am getting back into the hobby after over 15 years away and am definitely paralized with paint scheme choice and all the "new" methods and ideas. Excellent advice, now to find that PowerPoint episode...
Watched this to get some ideas about helping my partner with base coating his armies and I feel like I just had every single one of my life choices validated as well
I was just trying to figure this out. Thanks a ton for your great videos!
Heheh sweet! Glad you like them, hope this is helpful :-)
Another great relaxing video mate, and also a small shout out to Dana Howl as well I do enjoy her videos as well.
I find myself checking my subscription list for when your next video hits :D
Hehehe, I'm glad you like these silly little videos. You should probably ring that notifications bell! :-)
@@GoobertownHobbies lol yeah I will do
I'm also starting slaves to darkness and I'm very pulled towards the green/turquoise colour scheme. I'm going to use it.
Thanks for the great video!
Some really good ideas. I really love the orange sheme that looks really cool!
Hehehe, glad you like that one ;-)
Hi, Brent! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and love your content. You've inspired me to pick up painting minis again. I felt I had ruined my beginning to an army and gave up out of frustration. After using some of your tips and painting a friend's 3D print, I've decided to give it another go. Do you have any suggestions for filling a tyrannofex? I misglued part of the skull and abdomen pieces leaving odd looking crevices.
I just got into WH 40k and I've been kinda stressing about choosing a color scheme/chapter and when you suggested just trying out different stuff. I got excited.. now I'm looking forward to painting my whole unit in different schemes to see which one I like! Thanks
have fun! I bet you're gonna find some awesome schemes :-)
Its funny, I have only recently discovered your channel and the hobby itself but as I woke up after having an afternoon nap I thought, I feel like watching some Goobertown Hobbies :)
Too often we worry that we are doing it "wrong" I love that you encourage people to tty new things and experiment.
Always love your video's. Make me feel like painting again.
Hehehe, go paint, go paint!!!! :-)
I love your voice my dude. great attitude too. I'm just getting back into painting minis again for the first time since I was a kid. Your videos really get me excited to get going, Not sure what to start with but I like the idea of the adeptus mecanicus or maybe some D&D minis.
The purple ones look cool! Love your videos man!
Veteran painter here (started... 20 years ago?). Congrats for your channel, is awesome! The way you explain things are great, perfect for newcomers and, as a veteran, I learned a few things! Thanks! Also your voice and calm attitude is relaxing. 10/10.
Honestly I needed this video. I have been so scared to start mini painting, especially kuz the models are so small. 1.5 inches feels so small in my hands. But idk, maybe it's in the soft way you speak, it really calmed me and helped me get through the fear. Tyvm. Truly.
I am most definitely looking forward to that fabled next video. this bell has never been wrung so hard.
Someone actually rung the bell!??? yayyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!! :-) I'm looking forward to that project too, I'll see you on the other side!
Your modeling area looks sooooo neat and organized. I'm jelly.
You truly are the Bob Ross of Miniature Painting. Your Videos are always so relaxing, I want to grab a mini and start painting right away every time I watch one :)
dooo ittt!!! :-)
Nice video Sir! Personally I liked the Olive Drap colour. But I am sure it's because that was the colour of my combat uniform when I joined the Canadian Army in 1986. Can't wait to see what you picked. Happy New Year and all the best to you. Cheers
Canadian!?? I'd been thinking you were american for all these months! Happy New Year!!! :-)
Goobertown Hobbies Sorry Sir. Canadian all the way! 😁🇨🇦 Happy New Year!
I recently discovered your channel and love it.
I dont paint minis, and have not played dice and paper games in a couple of decades (I don't have any friends who play anymore. They stopped and finding new people in this day and age is...questionable. Lots of problems meeting like-minded people. Especially thru the Internet).
But, I do build models. Primarily sci-fi, and have a few of my recent builds on my channel.
Watching you build and paint is very enjoyable. And listening to your insight into building and painting, as well as your latest input during these most difficult and tragic times this 2020, feels lovely knowing that another artist shares the same ideas as I.
While watching this video, I had an idea for a paint scheme, or possible challenge, for you.
Something simple I'm sure, and perhaps silly to most figure painters. But you seem to be someone who might actually do it.
What if you painted your figures like American cars of the 1950s and early 60s.
Seafoam Green, with White accents, and chrome trim like the classic Ford Thunderbird.
Candy Apple Red, and White like the '65 Corvette.
And other multicolored paint jobs from classic cars.
I don't build car models, or paint figures (I used to do both, but it has been an incredibly long time). But I build and kitbash science fiction spaceships.
Someday I may do that Seafoam Green, White, and Chrome on a starship Enterprise. But I have so many projects going on right now.
But I think it would look neat on some of these minis.
Thank you for your channel and your time.
Be Excellent to each other and to yourself. 🤘🎸😊
Honestly I tend to go with a chromatic (rainbow) + non chromatic (white black brown grey etc)
I'm on my fourth day painting that new Slaves to Darkness kit. Basecoated the whole army, now i'm detailing the foot soldiers and lining up my pallet for the mounted guys.
Ah, some inspiration for me to paint my new drukharii army, I'll have to sit down and begin throwing on paint during the winter break
Do it!!! I have so many drukhari test models around here, I still need to make a decision on those lads...
Love the orange one on the left, the olive green and red one, the red and gold and purple and gold ones in the middle. I'd do one of those, though it's hard to pick a favorite from there.
I love your channel so much!
:-)
I would love to see a battle report with your new army when it's ready!
Hehehe, more likely is a few instagram pictures, but maybe someday.... :-)
I really loved those light blue warriors, I would be proud to use one as my PC in D&D
Orange! Definitely the best colour from your test models. Loved the vid and look forward to the next 24hr paint video Brent!
Interesting.... ;-)
I loved the Shovel Knight blue!
I just got a ton of skaven for Christmas and this really helped
Ahhh looking forward so much to seeing your next 24 hour challenge - I know it's gruelling but it is also awe-inspiring.
I don't do minis or models of any kind but your vids are so fun to watch.
Brent, you really are a ray of light. Great video.
Brent, you've got to be hearing this on every video, but your voice is a soothing relief to tired ears.
I'm looking to start a Slaves to Darkness army and have no idea what colour scheme to go for so this has been helpful for sure
Hahaha, that's awesome! Good luck finding your army :-)
I like that blue brown fur combo.
Yeah that's pretty spicy :-)
I painted some of these not long back I experimented with an Idea i had I wanted the armour to look like the red of Iron-man's Armour. took me ages ( and I mean ages!) to get the paint job right then I did all of them exactly like that. The customer loved them ( much to my relief as he never really gave me any ideas or options he just wanted them painted) but I learned a new technique whilst doing a job with no guidance I loved it and the outcome
Awesome! That color combo would look great on these guys- I'm glad that they turned out well and that the customer loved them :-) Getting paid to learn a new technique sounds great.
@@GoobertownHobbies I did some red and Silver and red and gold ( the gold being hardest to get because I wanted it to look like Iron-man's colouring) I didn't want to use the metallic gold as looks too gold if you know what I mean? so I used glazes of yellow over silver which I built up gradually. But I was given free reign to do what I wanted and it took a long time ( and several failures to get it right, but because the customer gave me the freedom to do what I wanted I didn't charge him for the extra time it took as I learned something really valuable from it. The only problem is now several people want a similar paint job. I have told them how long it will take and the reason I didn't charge the first guy what I would normally charge for a paint job of this kind, in hopes this will discourage them from wanting exactly the same thing and they choose something different or give me free reign to experiment then I won't charge them for the time. This is why Im not a fan of painting Armies for people other than my son.
Hi Brent! Your videos are so relaxing to watch! I don't even have any interest in miniatures, but it's just so enjoyable to see you work. I was wondering - what air brush do you use? I need to get one for some art I'm producing, and I could really use a recommendation. Thank you!
Teal one did it for me. Looks ace.
Yeah that one is pretty spicy ;-)
You Monster!... You built all that suspense over what color you were going to use, and then did not deliver! The agony of a cliff hanger... *Chuckles*
I look forward to the next video. Good stuff.
Hehehe, goobertown cliffhangers!!! :-)
Aside from your content you seem like a genuinely nice top bloke. Thanks for your videos I am now seriously debating getting some kind of cheap starter kit and giving this a go
Hey thanks!- and that's awesome, perhaps you should!
Love test models currently playing with oil washes for some Blanchitsu style plague marines.
Sweet!
Good video. You also identified the problem with STD models - if you tie them down to blue, green, purple or red they are almost automatically linked to one of the 4 gods.
I am as happy as a child on Christmas whenever you post a new video Brent 🙂
I really liked the darker orange Warrior on the far left side of the screen. Can you recommend a good orange color in that tone? I have Vallejos Extra Opaque Heavy Orange but that is much closer to a Caucasian flesh tone than it is to a highly saturated orange. I have ordered Vallejo Game Color Hot Orange, too but it has not arrived yet...
Looking forward to that army painting video!
Cheers from Germany 🙂
:-) I was using FW inks and liquitex inks, I think that mini was a combination of "flame orange" and "indian yellow" Actually it's more "indian yellow" than you might expect from how it appears on screen. That one was one of my favorites too.... ;-)
@@GoobertownHobbies so after looking in to that I found out that these inks are sadly not sold here in Germany... I don't have an airbrush though so it might not have been a good idea to try them either way 😅
Gotta hope the Vallejo orange I ordered is more to my liking.
More great advice thanks Brent, personally I would choose the orange and grey scheme.
I loved the sunshine orange colour.
;-)
