They look great and 99% of us paint to table top level...at different levels. I work to the 3feet rule plus a bit of extra detail for myself. We are here to play games not just paint models and when you're painting 50models...one has to paint sensibly rather than perfectly.
Yeah efficiency is the name of the game when painting huge armies. I learned it the hard way. Painted my first 10 little Tyranids to very high detail (took looong time) then pretty much lost the motivation to do the same for the remaining 100+ bugs.
Really great post, and I love the mud effect. I will start in batches of four using what I already have so I will undercoat using Halfords primer and paint on the army painter blue. Cheers!
Thanks for that, will hopefully do some more soon. Using contrast would be interesting though I would have to approach it completely differently, I'm currently fly using contrast for my Wars of the Roses project so will definitely be trying it out on some napoleonics.
Nice paint! I’m building a ACW Union Brigade for BP at present along with my 15mm medieval 100 years / Roses army’s. Waiting on figs from Essex so now throwing paint at ACW.
I’d recommend 15mm ACW but that just me. To me Nappies are a ass kicker. I’ve been working on 4 Russian figures and almost threw them across the room. ACW is second nature to me as I’ve re-enacted and studied it for years. Please keep your videos coming there interesting enjoyable.
great video, if you are going to keep going for a while you should shoot these in 1080p. that way we can see even more detail than in 480p. thanks for letting me see how other people paint these. I start with Grey Seer myself. It cuts down on the amount of grey that I need to paint again.
The issue with 28mm miniatures is stock paint filling in the details. Stock paints are usually "too thick" and essentially wash out the fine details of well sculpted 28 mini's so thinning the paint (prior to application) will often leave a better detailed 28mm mini.
This is true, there are so many details to see. I see it as a time/numbers situation. While I'd love to paint these and pick out all the nice detail I don't always have the time if I want to use them in games, so I compromise at a level that I think shows off enough to still be satisfying. However, command bases are different, always try to go all out on those 😀👍
I used to do all the brass fittings on the muskets for all my first battalions of old guard, then started going slowly insane, same with the eyes 😀 I now save them for command bases and vignettes
Do you have any more tips when it comes to the nuln oil. I watched this video and bought some. Works amazing!! However I've found on some models when it's dry fully the effect sort of fades away?
That's slightly odd, one thing i do with the GW washes is give them a really good shake as ive noticed sometimes the pigment seperates, that could cause it to be less defined once its dry. Let me know if that helped, I'll keep having a think 👍
Hello mate, personally id do 2 batttalions of 24 with a drummer, officer and flag for watch then keep the remaining 8 normal guys with 3 officers and either use as a smaller regiment or use them to make one of the other units large 👍
That's the one 👍 You could start from white, your first coat after would have to be a medium to dark blue like the ultramarine colour, spraying them blue just cuts out a step and avoids looking detail 😀👍
Looks great but I feel like you're making that harder on yourself than you need to. Could just spray blue, block paint and douse in army painter strong tone and call it a a day!
I agree to an extent, however the tone of the coat is too light and needs darkening first hence the initial wash. After that, nuln oil or strong tonw works fine. I cant leave thibgs at just a wash as to me they always look more defined with a little highlight 👍 of course theres absolutely nothing wrong with not doing that, this is just the way i do it 😃
Very nice. Enjoyed the video and some great tips.
Thanks, one of the first I did but still one of my favourites 😁

Cheers buddy, thats exactly my take in things as well 😃👍

First class paint job, congrats from France!
Thank you 😀
Great vid! Really enjoyed it and found it helpful. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks, 👍 glad it was a help
A very informative video, thank you.
Thank you, hope to do more
Just found your channel after Leon mentioned it. Lovely work and I look forward to seeing more like this. 👍
Thanks very much 👍 have lots more planned, looking to get some battle reports up soon
A good paint through. Was a joy to watch
Thanks very much 😄
Really great post, and I love the mud effect. I will start in batches of four using what I already have so I will undercoat using Halfords primer and paint on the army painter blue. Cheers!
Thanks mate, let me know how they turn out 👍
Have just followed your guide for some middle guard. Thanks again for posting
Cheers, glad it helped 👍😀 which make of guard did you use, I'm looking at getting some middle guard
@@7thson726 funny enough victrix middle guard.
Nice straightforward process thanks.
You're welcome, glad it was helpful 👍
Very helpful video for painting. more from this. 😎👍. Would be interesting to see how it would look with contrast paints
Thanks for that, will hopefully do some more soon. Using contrast would be interesting though I would have to approach it completely differently, I'm currently fly using contrast for my Wars of the Roses project so will definitely be trying it out on some napoleonics.
Brilliant as usual .... thank you 👏
Pleased you enjoyed it, thanks 👍
Nice work; thanks for posting.
No problem, Cheers bud 👍

I've thought about ACW though considering doing it in 10mm or 6mm as the throught of another large black powder 28mm project is slightly daunting haha
I’d recommend 15mm ACW but that just me. To me Nappies are a ass kicker. I’ve been working on 4 Russian figures and almost threw them across the room. ACW is second nature to me as I’ve re-enacted and studied it for years. Please keep your videos coming there interesting enjoyable.
Really good videos. I am about to start and Old Guard army and this helps a lot!
Cheers mate, glad you enjoyed it 👍
Brilliant mate ive decided to buy these this week and this will come in very handy thank you
Thanks very much 😀👍 let me know how you get on, I love this set
Beautifully painted!
Cheers mate, do like the old guard 👍

Thanks, I've nearly finished my next video, I've been playing about with the settings a bit but for the one after I'll give it a go 😀

Grenadier sword knot red, Chasseurs green
I made the video 5 years ago 😁 it was only ever a quick paint job. I probably should do some more
Looks great, I'm just getting into 3D printing and I didn't know how to bring out the details.
Thanks very much 👍
The Old Guard were supplied with Muskets that had Brass fittings over the Barrel . Bayonet was still steel
I used to do all the brass fittings on the muskets for all my first battalions of old guard, then started going slowly insane, same with the eyes 😀 I now save them for command bases and vignettes
nicely done sir.
Thanks very much 👍
What a difference that Nuln Oil made. Definitely taking that tip.
Its great stuff 👍
i think i will use your weathering effects for my WH40k mordian iron guard .... and then buy some old guard stuff and go to the napoleonics xD
Awesome, sounds like a plan 👍😀
Superb 👍
Cheers mate
WELL DONE BUDDY
Cheers mate 👍😀
Nice video mate
Thanks mate 😀👍
Can you show us the paint bottle you use before brushing it on please ?
Sure, will try and remember to do that in the future

Ahh. What a rookie error 😂😂😂
A question martin i just finished these, 60 figures now how would you base them considering there are 4 officers drummers and standard bearers
Hello mate, personally id do 2 batttalions of 24 with a drummer, officer and flag for watch then keep the remaining 8 normal guys with 3 officers and either use as a smaller regiment or use them to make one of the other units large 👍
@@7thson726 cheers martin i`ll do that thanks for help
Please your primer start is Army Painter 3022 Primer ? is possible start with primer white ? thx
That's the one 👍
You could start from white, your first coat after would have to be a medium to dark blue like the ultramarine colour, spraying them blue just cuts out a step and avoids looking detail 😀👍
@@7thson726 Thx my first paint figs and I'm a beginner your video is good for learning also i think paint medieval 15mm HYW Essex Min
