Thank you everyone for the amazing support! To address a question I’m getting a lot:
No, I don’t varnish before or after the enamels or oils steps. I’ve not had any issues with them pulling up acrylics, separating, or flowing correctly. You certainly can do this, but I’ve never found a need 👍
How do you people never paint your armies? It's not that complex.
@@jacobhoekman6865 Maybe complexity has nothing to do with it...
Thanks for clarifying. Additional question: You started with a zenithal primed army. Was this because you did that before finalizing your plan? Do you think that assisted with the final product after streaking grime covered much of the transitions (to great effect)? I was thinking I may be more efficient if I just used tan spray paint (Citadel Zandri, Army Painter, or Krylon/Rustoleum Camo tan/sand/khaki). Or perhaps a rattle can zenithal of brown/tan. Just curious. Great video and project.
Wow, looks amazing🤯
The white spirit does not reactivate the acrylics, so the only issue would be force which means as long as you only dab and not start violently rubbing, you should have no issue with pulling up acrylics. You can also use an old brush to dab enamel off with white spirits.
Same applies the other way around, you can do a similar thing with enamel base and acrylics over it and then dabbing off with isopropyl alcohol. Not used as much, but a possibility.
I love that these people's "speed painting" experiments look 10x better than my laboriously long 2 year army project.
work smarter, not harder
these dudes paint everyday, every single day
@@josecarlosxyz i would get mad if i paint every day :D
Yeah a two year procrastination probably doesn't look good!
Actually, it looks great. I just gotta figure out how to do “good enough” in a reasonable amount of time.
11:08 Wait wait wait... Skeletons KILL people?!?! I've got one of those hanging out inside me!!!
Every night our Skeletons make angry dooting sounds while we sleep.
GET IT OUT GET IT OUT GET IT OUT!
Well, embrace it or go jellyfish....
give it time...
Yes, what a shame! Not like I’ve been taken over by it! I’m totally not preparing for the skeleton wars
Meanwhile at the Scott's secret base:
"How to Fail Horribly in 2 days. And more"
Poor Scott, he tried
@@MattMetalMayho Compared to Jon, I don't even know about that. lol
Dude, what a responsible comment about your spouse and their consent to such a time investment. Major respect!
"I have been feeding myself a steady diet of lies"
Step 1 is the most important step!
/removes lies
/replaces with Tendies
/wins
Imagine how Scott feels right now
Jon: Includes Tendies.
Scott: Doesn't include Tendies.
Jon: creates a visually stunning fully painted army.
Scott: has some base-coating done.
COINCIDENCE? I THINK NOT
This is truly the only speedpaint vid on the internet that matters. You planned, adjusted for problems, and had extra steps at the ready to improve the look of the models if you had the time. This is a fantastic front to back on how speedpainting should be done
Thanks for the kind words!
@@Ninjontamiya in japanese
@@NinjonDon't you know?Japanese tamiya
Love the enamels! Great vid Jon!
❤️🔥❤️😮❤️😮
Thanks
My wife locks me in the basement and makes me paint her models. I can't get mine painted. :(
Easy solution to that problem. For every 2 or 3 models of hers you paint, then paint 1 of your models. This way you still have a happy wife, but still a happy life.
lmao
try new stuff/techniques on her minis, master the art, make yours even better!
It puts the paint on the models!
I'm currently painting my wifes necron army, which I decided to start. Yeah.
Dude not only did you completely destroy miniac, your army looks masterfully and painstakingly done rather than a speed paint. Liked. Subbed. Favorited. And will also likely steal this scheme.
DO EET!
Hmm. I wonder what I could take from this for Necrons. Though I've been painting them up as steely dudes.
@@lordbiscuitthetossable5352 I mean... Could make them copper toned and all these steps would make sense... Copper oxidized turns dark and where copper connections meet oxidizes turquoise in color it'd be a unique scheme for necrons look up some pics of old copper statues an stuff it's pretty great
I really like that step one was to talk with your partner - it's considerate and shows priorities to aspects of life outside the hobby
"Or make a sculpture of vin diesel out of ham"
Liked.
"Step 1: I got approval from my wife"
Subscribed.
"Why spend time making more mistakes?"
and that's why my figures are still not painted!
“We need to get this thing done”
Followed immediately by a Durex ad.
Noice.
Lol I got a add for special forces. Neat timing!
I got one for Toilet Bowl Cleaner.
Lame, I got a Purdue university ad.
The real lesson here is that what Scott needed to master most in fact isn't PAINTING, it's TIME MANAGEMENT, and PREP.
I usually associate streaking grim and rust effects with the "grim dark" / "blanchetsu"(sp?) Style and a majority of the time everything feels over desaturated. However, I love the pops of green you put over everything and how you went through to bring back highlights. In my opinion you got the grim dark, with the magical and did it all in methodical time frame. A+, your army is better than scotts :)
IMO the best grimdark models are super desaturated with ONE pop of color, like his green here. It makes the entire range look amazing on the tabletop.
I honestly can't believe you've never painted a full army before because this was easily one of the best speed painting videos and more importantly, speed painting results, I've seen
This is my first ever Ninjon video and I am ALL IN!
Speaking as someone who's just been getting into miniatures and painting over the past year, watching your process in this video has been catalytic. Your approach is orderly while at the same time allowing lots of stopping for self-critique and dynamic adaptation. I think the real gold, though, is in the range and ease of technique you demonstrate. You cover tricks for metallics, blood, glows, basing, weathering, and highlighting, and none of it requires any intimidating brushwork or setup. Fantastic job; I'm keeping my eye on you. :)
I've watched this video around 4 times while I'm painting my Fyreslayers and its been really helpful and motivating. The music ain't half bad either.
I’ve watched this at least 10 times in 2 days...10 years in the hobby and you can still learn so much. Subscribed, thank you for a massive inspiration boost.
Thanks for the support Dylan!
Watching the oil spread out was so satisfying, especially in recessed areas, like it was painting itself.
Tricks and treats.
That sax is going to haunt my dreams
Looks sick my dude!!!! Now you just have to play~
Would love to see you and Scott throw down on some Warhammer!
Hey Jon I just wanted to reach out with my appreciation. I used many of these techniques to paint a bonereapers army in a weekend and made top five in best painting voting at a GT with an army I assembled & painted in under a week. Tremendous video and I wish you continued success
That fluorecent green glow looks absolutely amazing!
dude that army looks absolutely mega! The air brush was clutch for the glow, which really made it pop
The army looks so good, damn! Those teal oil accents are amazing!
That turquoise oil was a pro gamer move.
Bone and glowing green were excellent choices for a speed paint ,their very forgiving.
first
this is either staged or miniac is a bigger youtube nerd than i
Nah Jon was first, his models actually got painted
You would be the first! The bromance is real!
and last and always.
@@bentosan let's see you paint what I had to paint in 2 days ya little punk
The end made me laugh so hard :D
That streaking grime had a fantastic effect! Great job Jon.
I am very glad Scott suggested this video, it was great!
I watched this before Miniac's video, you're welcome :D
Ditto!
same
Same
I recently started using the Streaking Grime + spirit reduction technique and it's such a game changer. It feels like the mini painting scene is still largely fixated on acrylics so it's always nice to see people with a platform spread the word about enamels and oils. I can't paint without them now.
Scale modelers have been using it for years - but we come from a time when all that existed were enamels . . . strangely enough, the opposite is being done in scale model armour where acrylics are the new 'let's see what can be achieved' in weathering effects . . .
@@uriance88 It's funny how that works. It also makes sense as to why the only place I can find AK products are at a very old school hobby shop. Aside from a small Vallejo section they don't have anything you'd find at a typical game-oriented store.
Is the streaking grime + spirit that much different/better/faster than an acrylic brown (like Agrax earthshade)? Id love to see a side by side
@@ElvesofZion I wouldn't say one is better than the other results-wise, but I think Streaking Grime is easier to work with. There's no more need to worry about coffee staining and building color back up when you can just reactivate an enamel and easily control where you want it to be.
@@MSnell ok, I can see that. It did look good in the video. Was just curious if it was the better option for reasons. Maybe I'll find a way to give it a try next time I'm in need of a wash that isn't terrain (my bulk of work now)
This has become my new favourite YT channel. I’ve learned so much watching this and most of the stuff are things I feel I can learn to do myself.
I love that as you tell us to not flood the model, you fold the model. Makes the video more enjoyable and definitely is something you should lean into.
What an amazing looking army! I defenitly understand the feeling of a completed army. I used to buy secind and Tyranids again and again never taking the time to paint them, before I knew it I had 12 000 points of unpainted bugs. I used the qurantine time in my area to paint that whole thing to a standard that was pleasing to me in a good three weeks of 10 hours painting a day. X.x
Damn, that is a hell of a paint job for two days.
That white paint and airbrush for a glow effect is a great hack.
I love the bugman’s glow cloth it looks awesome
Man, your vids are not popping on my damn feed!
Now with that said, I'm posting only 6 minutes into the video to say that I need 2 days of mental prep work just to be able to not lose my time going into places hard to reach. Just that takes an incredible amount of my army painting time, and I know is just a mental barrier, but boy is it hard for me to not care about that xD
Aaand I finished the video, so I'm gonna finish the comment.
I was thinking that just 2 days for all that was too much (I don't know if even the great Vince can pull this kind of thing off too often) but hell, you did it man, and I think that you hit the spot with the final washes of crimson and camoshade, and also the bright osl gems and the blood effects. It is exactly as you said, it adds up more tonal variation and life to the usually "flatter" speedpaints.
Amazing job, for real.
70+ Models in 3 days looking better than my 1 Model in 3 days
1 year later and this video still gets me super hyped to get to batch/army painting
That oil tip. Absolutely majestic. Also great choice on that background music. Keep churning out content!
Vince Venturella: 2000points? Hold my beer
Lol so true!
Vincey V!
Whats this music? I really enjoyed it fits perfectly to some painting!
Wow, this colour scheme with the green light effect looks really good.
He takes the Citadel color and moves it to a dropper bottle.
I love this guy. This is what everyone should be doing.
"I don't make mistakes, I just use more secret techniques"
"I bet his army is like 7 models", heeeeeee, you are not far :)
Your facecam looked really clean, is that a green screen behind you or is the camera like 20 cm away from your face ?
Right on my nosey 😃
What a baller! Painting this many models to this standard is pretty significant!
Dude you're so freaking good at this. I've been painting for about a year and everything I saw here was new
ELECTRONS!!!
Just wanted to be the first negative comment on this video!
I don't know how to feel about this comment.
You really should be more positive man... I am quite shocked by your attitude.
@@andredesjardins5251 I'd have to be a proton and I just can't! That's simple chemistry man!
Where'd you get those paint racks? Been seeing a lot ones MDF ones, but I wanted something tall like yours.
I must know also! They look amazing!
Could try a bookcase?
Every single one of these were amazing! I love the big juggernaut skele boy!!!!
i thought it was super nice of you and very heart warming, that you gave that little chicken a brief cameo and shout out in this one. kudos on the video and they proper shout out to you chicken tenddies.
"I had all of quarantine to paint my army but I did it in 2 days cause reasons"
Same over Christmas got 1000 points of nighthaunts and then only had 2 days off work to build and paint 😂
Two things:
Starting with the positive, man it was satisfying watching your video after Miniacs pathetic attempt at sploshing red and silver over his models! ;)
The green effect really tied everything together, and each step after that was just icing on the cake for me.
To the bad/neutral stuff: The seperated left/right audio in the skit didn't really work for me (i'm on headphones), it might make more sense if both people were shown on the screen at the same time? I appreciate the effort to split the audio, but I feel the regular output would be sufficient! But eh, it was short, so didn't ruin anything for me. :-)
Mate, as always, you are Clean, scientific, Methodical. U bring the science to this, time n motion, fluid , i could rant all day, u are capo de tutti cappo! Much love mate.
I like the no-nonsense approach he uses.
How to paint your army in a weekend:
Step 1: don't.
Step 2: enjoy the process.
Step 3: do your research.
step 4: thin yo paints.
step 5: take your time.
step 6: clean yo brushes.
Cool and since we re boycotting AK interactive from now on, all we need is a good alternative to streaking grime...
True that. Bad timing 😓
Ammo MIG are a good alternative. Good on you for stepping up when a company acts like they have.
Had to google this and was left shocked. And as a German that rarely ever happens to me anymore. But just when you think you have seen it all...
Fucking hell.
I was like "What could they have possibly done to deserve a boycott? Did they like, endorse genocide or someth... OH."
Well , I got new context for DISGRACEFUL and VOID of DECENCY. Surprised to say the least, but not to detract to much from the achievements here , what will you replace them with ?
3 Videos in, and he already slayed the Miniac! Welcome to TH-cam man, great video, can't wait to see more of your content.
Not sure if you'll see this Ninjon but I much appreciate the song Vampire you are playing in this vid. Its been my background noise for when I'm building/painting models in 40k since starting last year. I never get tired of it honestly haha
I dont think Ive hated the models or style of any AOS army more since they came out than I have with the Bonereapers, but these.... these made my downstairs all tingly. what a paintjob.
This army looks fantastic. I watch a lot of Ninjon videos, and sometimes I don't love the different big batch paint jobs, but this looks so great! Watching the oil paint run into the crevices was so satisfying, the blood effect looks so good, and the green pop brings it all together so well!
I know I'm a year behind, but Jon will be happy a random video is getting more views long after its faded from popularity.
I'm just just just now getting started painting an army, and I only have money for 10 wytches at the moment, but he's knocking out 70 pieces in such a believable coloring as a "speed paint" challenge. This, of course, implies he's not even doing his best.
Blown away, Jon. Truly inspiring skill you have. Thank you!
FINALLY. A TH-camr who paints how I paint. You’ve earned a sub, friendo.
Sculpting Vin Diesel out of ham sounds like a fun job! 😁😂🤣😁
I've never watched a video that makes me want to diversify my paint collection with not just different brands, but different kinds of paints more than this!
Step 1 spoke directly to my soul
This has quickly become my favorite painting channel hahaha
SLAY the GRAY!!!! this should be your motto!
Step 1 is the most important. Love it!
holy crap those minis look INCREDIBALLS!!!!!
The glowing gems are really amazing. Same as the Bone-tithe Nexus you did.
This video was already incredible and then you came out swinging with the trash talk. Absolutely love it. I cant wait to take some of this advice and add it to my Ynnari ghost army
That blood splat trick was pretty sweet
Epic looking army
Holly Molly Skelly ! Good job on that army it is amazing !
My god the quality of these videos are ridiculously good, considering this is a relatively new channel, I am impressed beyond belief! Honestly can’t wait for more content!
Thanks so much, I’ll try to keep it up! 😅
Don’t feel pressured bud! Your doing a great job! I know it’s a full time job doing it, so remember to have a day off too! 👍👍
Your models are aaaamazing! The green glow really did it for me. Wow!
Best painting video I think I’ve ever seen
Love the Streaking Grime!
Oh don't mind me I'm just here for the fourth time watching this video just marveling at how badass your army is.
coming from the king of perfectionism to the king of speed painting and subscribed.
It's cool how many of these special "tricks" are basic stuff used on Gundams. I don't even do minis but I've really gotten into mini videos because I think there's a lot of techniques that can cross over between the two hobbies that usually doesn't.
Fantastic results. The oil washes really makes the bone. Love it.
A good example how "quick" doesn't mean "bad" if it is done by a professional. I love this grimdark paint scheme where you still have popping colours.
Love full army painting videos. Great work!
I needed to see this. Thank you for posting!!
Congrats on the amazing feat, Ninjon!
Jon give yourself a pat on the back.. incredible work !
Truly amazing stuff! Congratz!
So great! Congrats!
I watched the video yesterday and thought about it the whole day so I came back to leave a comment. This has to be the most useful speed painting video on TH-cam I’ve ever seen. I really feel like I’ve learned a lot. Keep up the great work :)
