I love it. Awesome work! Helped me a lot to understand ! More of it
How would I pick what miniatures to paint to sell? I know nothing about tabletop RPG games and such. Very good tutorial.
Do you mind to list all the accessories that the slap chop painting would need as a complete beginner of the hobby? Such as dry brush, paints, etc...
I love the fact you went over the tips, then put the tips in practice. It’s easy to misinterpret information sometimes, and I think this helps people understand better. Great work as always.
Thanks buddy, our pleasure :)
Instructions unclear. All miniatures eaten.
So after nearly 20 year hiatus from 40k, I was at a point where I finally had free time to set aside and rediscover my favourite childhood hobby.
Dug out my GW carry case from the 90's along with a load of paints and a few choice miniatures I hung onto, thought better of popping the old blister packs open and decided to grab some new miniatures instead.
So I don't go overboard and just grab a squad set along with a special that takes my fancy. Thinking this is all good not bogging myself down but enough miniatures to keep me painting for a week or 2.
Gets myself all setup, opens the special and starts assembling. Wow are these new models head and shoulders over the older stuff in terms of detail and assembly.
All assembled and undercoated, then just sat there for 5 mins scratching my head before thinking 'Oh, F@#$ this' and proceed to chuck it on a shelf with the unopened squad box.
Decided to jump back online to order a Squig Herd which I painted instead!
AdMech Combat Patrol & Belisarius Cawl really was NOT a good starting choice 🤣
Soo Yea, absolutely agree 100% the single most important advice to follow:
If you are new or returning to miniature painting... Start with a 'SIMPLE' miniature 😁
I may get round to Belisarius Cawl at some point, but won't be anytime soon that's for damn sure lol
I suggested it on the last video too but as it's about metallics: I would like to see a video on painting metals other than silver and gold. Brass, bronze, iron, steel, etc. Followed on by a video on realistic chipping and weathering of them.
Basing tip is solid gold! Never thought about how important bases were in that way.
So much, it should make a huge difference to your minis!
For metallics, I think something that needs a video focusing on it is base colors under the different types of metals. I.e. gold, silver, steel, brass, bronze, etc. Base colors, that when the metal is applied thinly won't desaturate the metal completely (unless desired).
We'll absolutely cover this, it's such an important part of getting the behaviour/result you want!
Holy moly the Silver wash section, so you don't need to highlight.... Aaa! What a dream come true!
Yessir, welcome to the future :)
@@ArtisOpus I'd really like to learn more about this, does it have a term?
Would be nice to hear more like, where best to use it, when to go up to the edges and when not to, what sort of areas it can be done on (e.g. Armour, Capes, Cloth, Weapons? Etc). What to do if you accidentally touch an edge and cause it to pool, how much you want on your brush, the different things you can do with it, what colours to use, etc 😅
Edge highlighting is my bain so I've often defaulted to deybrushing, but I really like the appearance this effect gives :)
The video covers all you need to start...and then some!!
:) wanted to make what I wish I'd started knowing...
This is probably one of my favorite "Top 10 things to do" or whatnot when it comes to painting. Really helpful advice and guidance for anyone wether they're a noob or a veteran painter. Great video!
I live in the Rep of Ireland, and many of the paints in most videos aren't available here due to the importation of certain chemicals laws, meaning the recipes on most videos do make me turn off before they get started into the meat of the topic. I use artist acrylic craft paints/inks now, make my own glazes and washes, and save LOTS of money to spend later on more minis. Your video here makes so much more sense than many out there, and shows HOW to paint a mini, not using just one certain brand of paint or mix of brands, making it much more accessible for both newcomers and old sweats like myself (I've been in the hobby since 1970). Simple and easy to follow is the way to go, and you've nailed it here :-)
Great video, my suggestion may sound strange but I’d like to see a tutorial on how to achieve a Nmm effect but using metal paints, basically the best of both worlds
Interesting, we'll definitely tie a bit of this in, thanks buddy, it actually fits really nicely with one thing in particular that I do as standard!
Agree. I have a Scale 75 line of metallics that includes a range of metallic colors but i struggle to use them together to effect. Hoping the upcoming metallics video will cover this.
@@sighberman I also use the S75 metallics; as a hint, when I'm doing TMM with them I use their Black Metal on the low value end, and either Citrine or White Metal for the high value, final edge highlight with a matte white for the brightest points and specular highlights. TMM does take more attention and time since the actual texture of the dried paint is more grainy, and thus doesn't like to glaze as easily.
Glazing with metallics?
I absolutely love the way that this video has shown me how to paint what in my opinion looks like a mini just as good as heavy metal in an achievable time scale and skill level😀
Thanks buddy, that's exactly what we were going for, 3-4 hours Vs 5 days, and not too different from 3feet away :)
I've been watching many painting tutorials lately but this one came at the perfect time to go to the next level.
It was really well structured and explained, one of the best I've seen!
Many thanks
What a fantastic tutorial. Thank you so much! Brilliant work by the way.
Would love to see a video on changing metallic properties with inks, normal paints, washes, contrasts etc. How they differ and the types of metallics different mixes can create.
I have seen these come up separately in passing in videos not focused on metallics specifically. Would be nice to see them all together, and how you could incorporate dry brushing with them!
We'll absolutely get some of this in. I may well do the new chaos lord on demonic mount first, as a primer to freshen up :)
@@ArtisOpus I would love to see the approach in this video applied to a model like the new chaos lord which doesn't match the criteria specified at the beginning of this video
You are 100% correct! Too much recipe does not help in improving skill. It helps immensely to see it done in real time. I love tour channel! Thanks for tutorials and videos!
Thanks, buddy! :)
One of the best step-by-steps I have seen. I think the brightness of the color palette shows off the effects of each step: the contrast between the base coat and each succeeding layer shows really well. I'm a new subscriber just based on this one video.
This is so so good. Love the tips about dotting washes to make edge highlighting look better. I would love a video on how you mix and apply .ettalics to models, I always find them hard to thin and work with
I've got a painting suggestion that I've never seen anyone cover - faded colour/paint.
I was thinking about Genestealer Cult vehicles and how they would probably be a mix of a dull flat colour and a really visible bright colour as they are repurposed industrial vehicles. They I thought about how old and not maintained they would be (weathering, chipping etc) which made me think the bright paint would possibly be faded from the sun.
How would you achieve that faded look? Where would it look best/realistic to place it? Would make an awesome video, I think.
Nice tutorial. Based on this will try my first project. Thanks.
I really liked your point on the better bases. I'll definitely be thinking of that in the future
I'm totally blown away by how helpful, valuable and instructive this video is! Thanks a lot, great work!
Our pleasure, my dude, take the info and enjoy your hobby!
Jesus bro, you're the best technical mini painter I've found so far. I'm new to the hobby. Your work is both intimidating and inspiring.
I really struggle with getting a reflective shine on a sword. Would love to see your take on that in the metallics video.
Really useful tips in this video. Need to keep practicing the dry brush techniques! Stunning work!
Very good explanation about basing. I had noticed that putting some effort into my bases has paid higher dividends than anything else I've learned since I put my first dry brush and wash together but I've never had that clear an explanation of why it works like that before .
:D you were more than half way there already! Thanks man
I just found your channel and your information can help me paint, not just more artistically, but also more efficiently.
Thanks for that!
I am not sure if you have already done this, but a video illustrating the effects of proper versus poor technique outcomes done on 2 of the same model type would be helpful, as actually seeing the effects side-by-side would help it sink into my brain.
Good luck going forward!
These videos are absolutely incredible, thank you so much for making these!
Our pleasure, buddy!
I have 2 friends who want me to teach them the basics of painting in a week or two and I am definitely going to start with this video. Thank you for great depth and breadth of tips!
Found your channel because I recently got the navigator edition of the s series set . Not only are these the best brushes I’ve used but this is one of the most helpful videos I’ve seen in my only 3 years of mini painting . You’re so clear and concise with how you convey information, it makes it easy to digest . Quality work all around !
Thanks so much man, I hope your minis are enjoying their new brushes! :)
Exceptionally useful way for making edge highlights by “reverse” using washes! Thank you!
Looks great, that’s some great shading
I love these kinds of videos, the ones that are about easy, achievable techniques that make you a more intelligent painter. Well done.
Thanks man, we'll continue making them on the topics that it suits! Glad it was helpful :)
Thanks for the video. I'd like to know what the best method would be for properly thinning your metallic paints, and suggestions on how to get the best consistency with them. And a bonus, what are some of your favourite metallic paints?
Thanks again!
I went to paint the miniature this way right after watching video. This is exactly what was needed. My Invincible mount thanks you for help!
Haaaa, so glad it came in useful, your mount is welcome! :)
Great video! nice editing, I love the sound effects! :D Thank you Byron and Artis Opus team!
Our pleasure, my man :)
Thank you so much for this! It was incredibly helpful and I can't wait to paint my Crons now!
🤖🤖🤖 sure there used to be a better robot! You're welcome :_)
Finally get too paint a miniature for me so I am trying too see how doing miniatures for others has improved me .
Hope it was useful buddy, any more questions, let us know in another comment!
That froggy was super stoked to see those mushrooms!
Happy little chappy! Googling those was a joy :)
This was a fantastically comprehensive video.
Wow, the Silver Wash step was a real eye opener for me. Can't wait to try that out. Thank you so much!
:) magic stuff, hey? Our pleasure buddy!
Great vid as always … proper noob request but a video all about the types of paints… shades, contrasts, base, layers etc maybe?
I think a lot of people would find that useful, GW focus to start with, or just in general?
@@ArtisOpus dealers choice on that one, I mainly use GW though :)
I'm so glad I stumbled on this! I've painted quite a few dark angels minis and wanted something new. It so happens to be necrons! I was/am worried over the bladed weapons, and now you given me the push and dvice I needed. Thanks for this!
Our pleasure! Enjoy :)
Wrath of the minis is, along with yours, my favourite channels all about educating and teaching methods with depth and focusing on the pilars for good understanding of core concepts
Fantastic guide. Something I would add (maybe it’s already said as I haven’t finished the vid yet). Contrast your base to your miniature, don’t put an imperial fist on a desert base, ideally choose a base that is on the opposite side of the colour scale to the majority of the model
Good call dude, definitely makes a difference! I'll make sure to touch on this when we do a big basing guide
Edge highlight with the brush point-down. That's something I need to try. Thanks for all the great info!
Every little helps!
I really enjoyed this great tutorial. A comprehensive coverage from starting a miniature right up to the finished result. It was really well paced, too many tutorials rush through and leave you having to stop/start the video to catch all the info. Lots of helpful content too, with plenty of supporting knowledge, rather than a stream of do this and do that with no reasons why. Subscribed and I look forward to watching more of your videos
Thanks so much, buddy! Plenty more to come, we're happy to help!
Great video as always. I would like to see how you can turn a flat armour panel into a beaten up panel but just with paint.
Fantastic video. I have learned so much form watching our videos! I love drybrushing! :) I am really struggling with basing and would love to see a tutorial for a base for this miniature as a part 2.
Hey buddy, thanks so much, it's why we make them! We should do this, I think it'd be a good big one, after metallics :)
This is a fantastic video. I can tell I'll return and rewatch this many times. Thanks!
Thanks. Eric! We have the notes available in the description if it helps :)
Useful show and tell. Learnt some new techniques though this is not the way I paint my models, but there again I paint for different reasons or purposes, like I just enjoy painting regardless of the end result. For me ait's all about learning and the process. So, thank you.
i've watched so many videos on miniature painting in the last 4 days, and in 45 minutes i've learnt a decades worth of knowledge
Amazing video!! Really well thought out and produced
🥰 thanks, buddy!
This is the kind of video I'm going to have to watch several times to get all of the tips, tricks, and details.
Most important tip I'd like to see covered for metallics is how to push the contrast in a natural way, without losing that TMM feel, especially in busy areas like bolters or chaos armor.
Great job on a great model too, that Overlord is a true classic.
relying on scrapes and dents to really sell the metallics in dark areas always works for me
absolutly love ur videos. learned a lot and the way you are explaining things makes it easy to follow!
Would love to see a Custodes and a Thousand Sons painting guide from u!
I think we are way overdue for a Custodes video! Thanks so much for the kind words :)
Really good guide. I started painting minis in 1984 and there were still several points in your video which I'll benefit from. Going to go away and start printing off hard copies of the artwork I'm using for inspiration now. Thank you!
Thanks so much for the kind words, Thomas! Enjoy, happy painting :)
These are very useful tips for painting models, mostly Necrons in this guide. It's good, I'm painting some Necrons for Kill Team and Skirmish game. Thank you for some of the advanced stuff.
Thank you for the great video. I appreciated the format of providing theory and showing the application. I really liked the look of the Iron Jaws Warchanter that was briefly shown. Any chance there's a video on it, I couldn't find one.
Hey buddy, thanks! There isn't, he was just done for my personal army a bit back, he still needs some work, I love the model :)
Thank you for this great tutorial! I will try it myself on a Necron.
Good luck! Hope it turned out well!
Great video! I learned a few things even after many years of painting. I was surprised by the results on the gold, as I figured the washes/contrast paints would matte them down too much.
Thanks buddy! It's all about the finish, you just need a bit of satin in there and the depth doesn't get lost :)
I think most content creators either ignore or outright avoid discussing proper assembly and prep of miniatures and models before painting. I think this is a grave disservice to people coming into the hobby. If it is discussed at all, it is usually just glossed over or summarized, with little to no detail given. The closest I've seen so far has been Midwinter and his video on proper knife handling and control. I really hope someone in the community revisits the topic and releases some good videos on the subject. I've seen a lot of really awesome paint jobs (in person, not on YT), just ruined by mold lines and gate nubs.
Agreed, it's framing it in a way that people will actually watch which is the difficulty!
Couldn’t agree more on basing! I love a good base haha :)
Yessir, we'll definitely spend a bit more time on this in the future!
Oh Byron, where have you been all our painting lives?? 😂
Truly awesome video, as I always say, the best thing about Byron’s vids is how he breaks things down so you have hope that you can improve and achieve similar results
Thank you so much 😀 our pleasure, my dude!
love this video, lots of tips / things i hadnt considered especially with the washes and placement of them. the information in here was so useful and frequent that i will have to watch it again... likely later tonight!
Thanks, Howard! We have the PDF notes download if you want something to take notes on :)
Awesome as always thanks 🎉
Absolutely love this style of process instead of step by step to achieve an end result. There are so many videos that go over the colour choices but don't touch on process so you have no idea how to get to the end result! Definitely gonna try and apply this approach to my new cadians
Hey buddy, thanks so much, exactly what we're going for! At some point in the future we'll mix the two and do one on *making* colour choices :).
Good luck with the Cadians!
@@ArtisOpus thankyou! Can't wait to start them as the new sculpts are amazing. But love your videos really helping me improve my painting not only in quality but the process behind the model, keep up the amazing work!!!
You definitely deserve more subscribers than you have! Great stuff
Thanks, my man! We're working on it :)
I painted a single stormcast eternal with an ironbreaker base coat and then used a stylish purple contrast paint over it and made a metallic purple which looked really nice
Very simple.
I see an Artis Opus video, I click like.
@@ArtisOpus No, thank you! ❤️
Only 1/3 of the way through, I will will finish later. But I need to give a shout-out to the 80/20 rule. It's everywhere, and it works!
I love this and many of your videos. They've been an incredible resource for learning how to use high-quality dry brushing and creating well-painting minis without spending hours per miniature. They got me back to painting and painting more in less time, with results I'm super happy with. My recommendation (which is also my current project) is to make lava bases using diluted contrast paints and dry rushing that also have an OSL effect on the miniatures using only dry brushing for the OSL. I'm sure you‘ll come up with a better recipe for this than my current one, and I would love to see it😊
Thanks man, you're welcome! We'll absolutely cover lava bases in the future, it's such a convenient way to get atmosphere in there
Thanks for the video. I appreciate the longer format and the tips were super valuable.
Where'd you get those display boxes on the wall behind you? I've been looking for something like that for a while.
Hey buddy, thanks!
We actually designed them ourselves, check out the KS here, where they're available for late-pledging.
First of all thanks a lot for your youtube channel. Congratulations amazing information. Where did you get the showcases that appear behind you in your wall where Nighthaunt are placed?
Hey buddy, thanks so much :).
We actually designed them ourselves, specifically for miniature display, you can still late pledge for the campaign here:
www.kickstarter.com/projects/artis-opus/cabinets
Great video. Very helpful for me, I haven't really painted or finished painted miniature in a year.
Thanks man, maybe it's time!? :)
A joy to watch, was a relaxing journey that made me want to paint along. Was also informative on how to use my Artis-opus drybrush set :)
Awesome, thanks buddy 🥰. Glad you enjoyed.
Can't wait for the next one.
Maybe a metalic that can fade to black? Or be Blackened?
But not any kind of disposable heroes.
Nothing else matters though as it'll be the one 😉
So many opportunities for references here! :D
Legit we'll cover Dark Metal though, :)
@@ArtisOpus sad but true 😜
I think as someone starting out, it's important to remind yourself to walk before you run, and that honing your skill is part of the process.
I looked up so many tutorials, techniques and materials before sitting down to paint my first Termagants, following everything I had seen word for word and it just didn't come out the same because I hadn't developed brush control, muscle memory and practical skills.
Every next model I painted looked better and better, and I experimented with mixing techniques and see what worked for me instead of copying a guide and saw the best results for my skill.
Don't compare yourself to experienced painters as a beginner, simply try your best to apply their knowledge to your skill at the time.
Very good result. Going to give your technique a try.
Let us know how it goes dude! Any issues ask in another comment (not a reply, they get lost)
This tutorial like all your other videos is brilliant. There were a good few hints and tips that I took to heart and will use in future projects.
One question, when doing the very fine details, have you ever used a magnifying glass to help with it?
Thank you for such a great video. I love videos that show method in detail because they are the best for learning good techniques and are best for beginners.🤩
You are so welcome! Exactly why we're making them :)
I don't have enough typing space to begin to ask for the help I need in all aspects of this hobby but that is why I watch your video. 🙂Thomas over at The Model Hobbyist
Thank you for the great video! How do you keep metallics from losing their luster when thinning them down?
Wonderful vid! For metallics, is it possible to use wet blending with TMM paints?
The knocking at 13:31 scared the crap out of me, thought someone was breaking in my house 😳
Great video. Where did you get your shelves? They look great.
Absolutely amazing.
Thanks man!
Once again, fantastic video, particularly liked this format and approach to the "tutorial"... Too often people seem to follow recipes (which has its place) without understanding how to transfer the skills learnt to another paint scheme/model.
The takeaway for me was the careful spot washing... Something I'd accidentally done in the past, but not to this extent.
No suggestion for metallics... I'll just happily watch whatever you put out... I'd better find some money and buy myself a texture board!
Excellent work as always dude 😁❤️👍🏻
Thanks a lot! 😁
Excellent guide thank you! I do have a question, if I have a silver primer (basically leadbelcher in a can), how would I go about aligning with this process? Heavy wash something like agrax to get to your basecoat and first silver drybrush? To maintain shading in the recesses? My aim is to have purple/pink energy on my necron force so curious if you'd still do the metal shading with the Magos purple or pick another colour.
This has been a godsend for inspiring me to just getting them painted so I can play with a friend.
Thanks!
Amazing thanks. With regards to metallics, I would like to ask about cleaning brushes after you use them. I have the little Soap that you make but am concerned about messing the soap up with the flakes in the paint and transferring them to other brushes. Any tips?
What a great video ! Thanks ! Where did you get those awesome display cases ? Those are amazing !
Hey buddy, thanks! We actually designed them ourselves, you can late-pledge here :) www.kickstarter.com/projects/artis-opus/cabinets
Love it. Particularly the advice about picking a model you like. I find this is very useful if batch painting a squad of say 6-10 minis. I usually break up the task by painting something different in between (5) . That way I don't have a squad that looks good at first but teethers out by number 7. Great vid
Batch number numbers is a really interesting thing, I think I'm similar to you, dude, just about stretching it out to before I get bored :)
@@ArtisOpus yeah. I'm in a mindset of "this guy is different enough to keep me going".
Thank you for this video and all your work. For dry brush why and when do you use the round move ?
Good question! When I am uncertain :) very easy.
If in doubt: circles!
Great video, a lot of different styles mixed togheter, cold you explain in details the how you did the blue glazing?
Of course, which bit my man? On the weapon?
awesome! learned a lot. specially on the dry brushing part. -Now its time to practice it ;-) hope you will do thousand sons in the future :) I've often the problem, that my very small detail brushes become like thick on the tip wile painting process. maybe its the drying color or some small particles. do you know how to avoid it? how do you clean your brushes after painting especially the smaller ones?
Love love this video, some great pointers im going to use going forwards
Question for metallic, how to get a good consistency with different metallic colours making them stronger looking or weakening the strongest down to match the rest of the paint job eg super strong silver weakish blue metallic to semi match in strength on a miniature
Great stuff! How much time do you allow between steps? To allow for drying specifically?
My suggestion is, how to produce different shades and colors of metal with the same basecoat. So pretty much what you did in this video with gold, but with different colors as well.
This video has some very key tips! Thank you! Also what shade were you using on that robot model that turned the medal color into gold?
Any of the yellows, to taste - cassandora yellow, iyanden (a little more dark), it just depends which you like, I added sepia to mine.
One of the things i would like to learn about metallics is how to get a good realistic metallic representation like NMM but where i dont paint the mini under a specific lighting direction. Like i'd like to learn how to make the metallics look as good as NMM under all lighting conditions from any angle. NMM looks good and all but i think it looks out of place on the table top when the lighting is different which imo breaks the illusion.
Also, mate i absolutely love your videos. I always am able to take away something new to apply it to a current or future project. Im currently working on restoring an Imperial knight model and converting it to the Knight Tyrant and so these upcoming metallic videos have me excited as all hell.
