I don't know why GW still hasn't opted for dropper bottles. Oh wait... They want us to spill our paint, or they want it to dry faster, so we buy more of it, you say? No, that wouldn't happen. Never.
I prefer using washes and contrast out of the pot usually unless I thin them down so I think pots are better for those, but yeah everything else being in dropper bottles would be awesome, ESPECIALLY the air paints
When you're used to a universe where "brushed steel covered in skulls" qualifies as subtle, seeing someone paint a model 15 different shades of greyish brown is kind of a trip.
@@synovialpig9983 my experience is having 15 different shades of khaki/camouflage beige/grey green, and finding that i still don't have the right shade and that references show the actual shade was completely inconsistent in real life anyway
It almost seems odd to see you covering miniatures from other companies and game systems... that being said, I thoroughly enjoy it. Congratulations Duncan and good luck!
@@bobsickle2336 I think that may be the case. All confusions aside I meant it as a compliment only. I love seeing Duncan cover miniatures I myself enjoy alongside Warhammer.
Really dig the log cabin vibe. Love seeing someone on TH-cam actually painting models instead of making gimmicky vids to feed the algorithm. Hope you do well for youself!
And I love the real opinion on which brushes and paints you prefer when all are an option and there is no conflicting interest. I was always curious which brush and paint was best for which task of all available.
Great video; really made my day seeing this. Also, handy hint for any Early/Mid-War German collectors using Citadel paints; Stormvermin Fur is dead-on PERFECT for German Feldgrau uniforms. If you have one of the spray-cans (which they don't make or sell anymore, sadly) you can have an army half-basecoated in a few blasts, and you can mix-and-match with Athonian Camoshade, Agrax and Nuln Oil to give the uniforms the kind of tonal and material variety they had later on in the war.
Hero. I'm a bit loathe to go out and buy a bunch of Vallejo paints when I have nearly a full Citadel paintbox, so knowing what to swap in is a godsend :D
Sista: she is ready to kill the xenos for the holy emperor! Stormtrooper: ready to kill the filthy rebels! 2nd ww. german soldier: ready to kill the... for the Füh... uhm... ready for battle... :D
I've just realised there's a world of minis outside of GW so it's great to see painting guides on different manufacturers. I'm loaded up on Napoleonic line infantry now.
Really enjoying the diversification of your subject matter and paint ranges Duncan. I think most hobbyists out here in the wilds use a hybrid of colours and pigments from various manufacturers and it's refreshing to see your "two thin coats" style tutorials embrace this hobby truth now that you are no longer beholden to the Citadel product line. I salute you sir.
I second this, perhaps together with a guide to brushes in general? I know for a fact that you get cheaper, non hobby-branded brushes while having better quality at the same time.
yeah same. if he could cover how textures effect bristles, how to properly rinse and clean brushes, proper brushstroke technique.. it would be really helpful for newer painters and is always a nice reminder if you're experienced
I just recently got into Bolt Action/Konflikt '47 Germans and so this video is super helpful - and naturally, a notch above comparable tutorials for Grenadiers!
I can't imagine myself doing this with each single one of my 60 fire warriors or cadian dudes...so good for you all that have this level of patience and dedication to the hobby. Also, loved the camo
Not sure if anyone else has mentioned it yet, but every soldier was issued with a zeltbahn segment, that individually was used as a poncho, but three segments made a small tent. Keep up the awesome tutorials. I've been painting minis for the last 30 years or so, and I'm still picking up tips from these. You never stop learning! =)
GW Execs suddenly realize exactly how many supplies Duncan took with him on the way out... Great work as always Duncan. Best wishes in your new endeavor.
When you pick a model do you immediately know what and how you're going to do, or do you use a few test models to see what works best for that particular model?
Excellent tutorial as usual. For anyone interested - these techniques also work very well on the larger counterparts in the 1/35 realm. Thanks again for a great tut!
I LOVE the using a plate to mix your paints on. I have SO many fond memories from my 45+ years of using plates to do this, from my early days using Airfix enamel paints to the wonderful acrylic paints I use today. Unfortunately, using the "best China" from the display cabinet wasn't exactly received with enthusiasm by my mum when I first started, so I soon learned to use the old, chipped, everyday plates instead. Now I us a wet palette as well as plates, depending on what I'm painting. SO good to see you diverge from the usual GW stuff, even though I love those videos too. I haven't seen many of your non-GW videos, so am having some serious fun catching up on them, and learning all the way :-D
Absolutely amazing to see you painting other stuff than GW's products. I really enjoy it. Also ( and for me thats very important ): You got the colour of the breadbag historically 100% accurate! Most painters paint them in beige, but that wouldn't be correct, so cheers to you right there! Great video, great tutorial! Looking forward to mor of your videos! Cheers & greeting from Germany.
Cool, I am painting warlord ww2 U.S. infantry. Interesting to find out that there were two main uniform pant colours brown or green, green being standard issue some time after the war started. Can't believe I am seeing Duncan paint my ww2 minis!
Hello. I'm a first time viewer and a WWII 28mm fan... Both the presentation and technique here are first class. I'd call the result as 'high-quality-tabletop' but very much on the higher end. (Indeed it would take only the smallest detailed effort to 'showcase' this miniature. ) The presentation and illustration of colour choice/technique/method is really well done and in a manner that's friendly and informative. An excellent tutorial in every way. xx SF
Just what I needed, just picked up a box of German Grenadiers and the Bolt Action Starter set and looking forward to painting them even more now. Great job!
Thank you. That was absolutely by far the best tutorial I have seen for late war Germans. Sadly I cant go back and repaint 30 Grenadiers, but I definitely will apply this to the next 30!
Super tuto , very helpful for my 1/35 figurines . Talking about paints i really don't understand the bottles système of GW when u see the avantages of Vallejo and Army Painter drop système bottles Thanks for the vidéo
Excellent stuff, as always Duncan. Nice to see some period minis being covered and the addition of Vallejo paints to the painting arsenal. Great tutorial and a lovely finish to the mini. Thank you 🙂
@DuncanRhodesPaintingAcademy Amazing Video! Would love to see you paint more historical miniatures (maybe napoleonic or American war of indepence) and maybe some different scales such as 6mm or 10mm or 15mm Just an idea keep up the good work

4 ปีที่แล้ว
I appreciate the use of Vallejo paint. To those of you watching, I would ditch all the over-priced Citadel tools though if you're going to take up miniature painting or you just started. There's plenty of comparable tools out there for a reasonable price. Duncan obviously has tons of that stuff laying around so I wouldn't expect him not to use it.
As for belt buckles, buttons and small metal details. For Heer and WSS units (or units which used their supply chain) they were often painted field grey and stayed that way unless they became very worn.
I went for a "Erbsentarn" or pea dot 44 pattern on the zeltbahn as I'm using mine as SS. All so German boots where normally black of dark grey deepening on if they where leather or rubber. The exception would be the Africa Korps which had brown leather or canvas boots. The gas canister would be field grey or dark yellow depending on when it was made. Over all, great job.
Once again, thank you very much, guys! Your tutorials were the thing that showed me that i also can paint and do it well. Your comeback is one of the greatest things that happened to youtube in recent times! Would love to see you paint some Malifaux and I would greatly appreciate some advanced techniques for metal) Thatnk you very much for returning!
this is obviously utterly incredible, but the idea of painting every single lad in my army to this level of detail makes me feel a bit queasy lol. amazing work
It doesn't take long once you get the hang of it - especially with a batch painting technique. Do 5 guys at a time - paint the field grey on each, then on to the khaki etc. Especially helpful with washes because then you are not literally watching paint dry.
A few tips. I really like the monster brush for my base coating where I can get away with it, assuming it has a good point. Second, to save a bit of paint, I stir my paint with the back end of my brush instead of the bristles.
Bit late to the party, but those videos are incredible in added value. I thought your painting tutorials from GW were the holy grail but you both managed to make it better. Looking forward to see what future has to offer. Ps: I also hope we will have the opportunity to have some intermediate to advanced basing tutorials someday.
Congratulations on the launch of the painting academy! Once I get everything sorted financially due to this pandemic I’ll be subscribing straight away! As a beginner I’m so excited for this! #hobbyhero
Fantastic video! Surprisingly complex paintjob for such a small miniature but oh holy emperor the result! Great video hopefully you will post some for your napoleonic stuff some time! Cant wait for more! Keep it up!

Hey Bricky! How goes painting the 3000pt Imp Guard Army?
We need every space marine chapter: explained
DUNCAN MIXING COLORS! This is by far the most unexpected development of 2020 so far!
Duncan is God because he doesn't need to mix colors ... I'm afraid 🙈
Makes me so happy Duncan is spreading out to cover all ranges of miniatures.
It almost seems odd to see you covering miniatures from other companies and game systems... that being said, I thoroughly enjoy it. Congratulations Duncan and good luck!

Are you dumb? he is literally complementing him
But he doesn’t work for GW anymore...
@@CrimsonTemplar2 Yes I am aware.

Dude I just discovered this. Vallejo field grey is too green for my taste. Stormvermin fur is just right for getting olive grey color, IMHO.

I only just activated notifications for this channel 15 minutes ago. Good timing. Thanks for another amazing video
Thanks IronSquid501, we really appreciate your support :-)
I'm actually impressed and happy to see you are painting to more than just tabletop GW standard. This model looks awesome.
It’s so good to see you doing stuff away from GW & using different paint manufacturers.
Really enjoying the diversification of your subject matter and paint ranges Duncan.

Thanks irrational gaz :-)
First time I’ve ventured into different miniatures. This video has given me an element of familiarity, a calming voice in a new world. Thank you!!!
I would love to see some tips on brush care!
I second this, perhaps together with a guide to brushes in general? I know for a fact that you get cheaper, non hobby-branded brushes while having better quality at the same time.
Me too!
yeah same. if he could cover how textures effect bristles, how to properly rinse and clean brushes, proper brushstroke technique.. it would be really helpful for newer painters and is always a nice reminder if you're experienced
Do flektarn or plane tree camo next, please!
We''ll add that to our ever-growing list :-)
I just recently got into Bolt Action/Konflikt '47 Germans and so this video is super helpful - and naturally, a notch above comparable tutorials for Grenadiers!
Been looking at getting into Bolt Action recently, so this guide couldn't have come at a better time. Keep up the fantastic work, Duncan!
That blue-ish “flesh” there early on made me think he was painting a Rogue Trooper, lol
I really want GI miniatures, it would be pretty cool
I can't imagine myself doing this with each single one of my 60 fire warriors or cadian dudes...so good for you all that have this level of patience and dedication to the hobby.

More bolt action content! Love this game system

Great work as always Duncan. Best wishes in your new endeavor.
Nah, you'll notice he doesn't use very many GW colors or brushes. For obvious reasons.
I like how the first few videos show a variety of Mini manufacturers :)
When you pick a model do you immediately know what and how you're going to do, or do you use a few test models to see what works best for that particular model?
Excellent tutorial as usual. For anyone interested - these techniques also work very well on the larger counterparts in the 1/35 realm. Thanks again for a great tut!

Thoroughly enjoyed this video. Always been a big fan of your approach to painting. I really like the miniature too.
They're a great range Jordan, fun game too.
Yay! More Bolt Action please!
Отличное видео, Дункан!
Приятно видеть, как расширяется твой арсенал красок и область их применения) )

An excellent technique for painting a german granadier!
