What was your favorite Warhammer Fantasy Dwarf Unit / Character? Did you start the Hobby with a different Starter Set? Sad that Dwarfs and their Artillery don't exist in Age of Sigmar anymore? Leave a Comment and tell your Story! =)
Thanks man!!! My long term goal for this channel is to paint every WHF dwarf unit in existence, got many models but time is the most limiting factor ^^ So from time to time I will release a new dwarf unit tutorial, promise that! Hit me up on reddit or insta, would love to see your throng =)
That's the best thing I've hard for quite some time! TH-cam is lacking in dwarf painting tutorials and yours are fantastic! Look forward fo seeing more in the future! I certainly shall!
@@TheUnforgiven1993 Oh they are coming! Just need time :D Super happy that you are looking forward to those! Any specific unit/character you would like to see?
I love that green and yellow color scheme. You did a great job of getting the cloth to look soft on the banner. Favorite warhammer fantasy unit: Empire Halberdiers :) Can't get enough of them :D The starter set I got started with was 2nd edition WH40k XD
@Karl makes stuff Glad you came to watch Karl, always nice to have you around! For some strange reason I get annoyed from all the green colors while painting orcs... but on dwarfs? Hell gimme more :D The hellbeardiers are a classic, did you paint some on your channel? (2nd Edition Wh40k seems pretty old though! Waaaay before my time :D)
@@MiniQuest64 I painted *some*, lemme think... must have been around 1999 or 2000 XD Still have a few in my Pile Of Opportunity, so I might do some on the channel yet. And yes, 2nd edition is a loooong time ago :D
Great tutorial, thanks for the video! You mentioned you miss dwarves in WH, have you considered other games? Para Bellum's Conquest has amazing models, some brutal-looking dwarves among them (they can them Dweghom)
@Nick Kowalski Hey Nick! Thanks for watching again! Always looking forward to your comments =) I have seen some very nice models from avatars of war and the whole 3d printing scene! Didn't know about Para Bellum, are those the same guys that made this huge dinosaur Orionbeltsminis painted? Will definitely look into them! Guess I just need to clear my mind about non GW Dwarfs, it's strange like with legos :D
@@MiniQuest64 yes, those guys :) I've been eyeing up their models recently, maybe I'll get some Nords later. Or dwarves, I don't know, they're all look great :D As for Lego, you reminded me of Bionicles :) I ceased looking for new Lego sets long time ago, but I'll never stop appreciating old Bionicles. And technic sport cars. It's classic I'll always remember, no matter what my hobby is right now.
@Nick Kowalski Hell yeah Bionicles, I still got a couple in their round boxes, those were really great and proofed that lego could do well without licensed overpriced stuff ^^ Still have a lot of the old castles, underwater explore stations and space ships. What are you currently working on? Besides of thinking to buy new minis :-D Which we all do!
@@MiniQuest64 oh, I'm currently struggling to finish a set of DnD minis. I'm a total newbie at miniatures painting, and after a mandatory squad of ultramarines I decided to try something new and ordered a bunch of cheap WizKids models to experiment with color theory. Bad idea :/ Should've stayed with marines or orks to improve my brushwork first
I use Woodlans Scenics snow. Like 12 pounds for 1L of snow powder. Perfect for snow bases. And looks natural (which is a problem with most snow effects).
What a lovely dwarf army you got going on! Great video too. I really did enjoy watching and I will most likely find some inspiration for some of my Dwarf cannons that needs basing going forward.
@Nicklas Andersson Thank you so much Nicklas, glad you enjoyed this little project =) Was the video too long or too slow to watch on some parts? I wasn't sure about the pace in generell!
Just use the minis as is for One Page Rules' Age of Fantasy or Age of Fantasy Regiments. The basic rules are free, as are the army lists, and there's a free app for army building.
Absolutely amazing work. I rrreally love and appreciate how you take your time to show every step of the process, from basing on. I'm an old skool (ex) painter. My first miniatures was the first GW Night Goblins pack. Although I used to slay them left and right, this video brought up very fond feelings towards the dwarves 😁 Respect from Finland!
@Baphomet thank you, it was a lot of work to put that many miniatures and the base into a 30min long video. So I appreciate it very much!! :) What we're the units you painted back then and why did you stop if I may ask?
@@MiniQuest64 I dabbled here and there, but mainly collected a decent Orc & Goblins Warhammer Fantasy army (5000+ points). I painted the minis that came with the game and used all my money on other old skool figures like Night gobs (my favourite were Squid riders/herders) and Savage Orcs. I also had a few River Trolls, Thraka etc.. My brother collected 40k and I helped him out with his Space Wolves, as well as with my cousins two armies (High Elves and Skaven). We also played and painted the og Space Hulk, Blood Bowl and Hero Quest. I also had a small collection of undead. I stopped painting when I was about 16-17. My two passions were miniatures and playing metal music in a band. As I got older the more I just wanted to play and party...so I guess sex, drugs and rock'n'roll just swept me from the brush haha :D. I ended up GIVING away my whole army, conversions and all...and the kid I gave it to ended up destroying it. The worst decision in my life. Luckily I have a few crappy, worn out minis left just as a reminder. Now my teenage boys are collecting and painting 40k, so the legacy lives on!
@Baphomet That's a detailed answer wow! Thank you very much for taking the time =) Well I got plenty of old Warhammer Fantasy Orks and Goblins waiting for their tutorial, so maybe there is something for you here in the future! I know these aren't popular themes here on TH-cam but I'm going to paint them anyway, too much love for the old sculpts. Hero Quest and Space Hulk were great, but I never got a chance to play Blood Bowl. Sorry about your army though, I was never a fan of destroying stuff (no matter how old), there is always someone out there who would be happy about the things we don't need anymore. Luckily you went with sex, drugs and alcohol. Imagine sticking to Games Workshop and ending up poor, exhausted and shelves full of grey plastic :D
@MacVinzou This is my all time favorite box =) You can still find some pre owned ones for a moderate price if you are willing to spend some time, have patience and strip some models. Which country are you from if I may ask?
Hello!! Im a little late but maybe you can still tell me why you primed these dwarfa with metalprimer and for example the slayer with white? Im at the moment repainting my old dwarfs and im scared they will look all different it i use different primers... (like one has super smooth weapons and the othera got brushed and a little wavy ones...and that it wont fit in the end :/)
Hello, my friend, and sorry for my late response! To answer your question, let me explain how I choose primers. Generally, I would prefer black above white primer, because painting mistakes are not as obvious as with a white primer. Where every unpainted white spot will catch your attention immediately. Exception: White paint jobs in general, like you shouldn't prime a Stormtrooper black, or a 40k Black Templar white. Besides, that I choose a different primer, if most of the mini/terrain, will be painted in that specific color. Most of the dwarfs have metal armor, so you are going to save a lot of time by priming them with a metallic primer. Now the Dwarf Slayer doesn't have armor at all, and I choose a white primer, because in general, colors painted on a white primer will appear brighter. And I wanted the orange bears to appear especially bright (and getting an orange base coat on a black primer will be very tedious) As for your fear, while I think armies will look significantly better, if those skin tones and metallic have some kind of variety (especially, a Slayer Unit should stand out, in my opinion), using different primers will only have a slight, if at all visible effect. So nothing to worry about =) You can also just repaint all the weapons with a metal paint, which shouldn't take too much time.
@@MiniQuest64 dont worry about the time 😄 Ok i understand! And it takes a lot of my fear away! So i can just choose what fits the mini itself and the rest will work out in the end 😄 Thank you very very much! That really helped a lot! :)))
Absolutely you can! It will all be fine =) Thank you for watching! I myself, am painting a lot of dwarfs at the moment! Do you have a social media account where you share your work?
I'll always have a soft spot for Gortrek and Felix. Did you ever play the Shadow if the Horned rat? Gorterek takes on a dragon for you 😂 Excellent work as always!
@The Basic Brush Man Gortrek and Felix, still looking for those two minis :D One of the last remaining dwarf characters missing in my pile. I didn't play that game but I invested a lot of time dying in "Dark Omen" , I believe Horned Rat wasn't much different?!?
Great thumbnail and even better video! :D I really like your painting style, as well as your edits/the way you film your videos, keep it up! :) I still think you were a good painter when you painted that first one, but it shows that you have improved since then - great job! :D
@Vizzzzer Thank you very much! @Karl makes stuff helped me with the Thumbnail again (he also did with the last one)! I wasn't sure about the pacing and speed of the video overall, but I didn't want to cut it into a 10 min video with flashing pictures. It was nice to see some little improvements, like on the skin and freehand banner! It did feel like I hit a plateau and wasn't improving in the last year.
there can be no snow under the cannon. Even if the snow had not been blown away by a shot, it would have melted. Even if not melted, it will be sooty from the shot's smoke and lie in a thin layer. and if the position is abandoned, then there will be snow on both the cannonballs and the cannon.😏
