Amazing job! Making it look so easy! Definitely inspired me to make a first attempt at paining miniatures. And appreciate you taking the time to list each paint used!
It takes some practice but anyone can do this! I’d not held a paint brush in my life until I started painting board games! Wish you the best of luck and thanks for taking the time to drop a comment :-)
After watching and will continue to watch numerous miniature painting videos. Idk if I missed this tip I heard in this video but finally got it. Paint from the inside out. @1:28
I didn’t back xmen :-( it was too expensive for me, with the new addition of the vat after the order I will be backing a lot less from cmon :-( I will see if anyone near me is ordering and piggy back a few off them
@@WatchItPaintIt isnt price of what you get from CMON kickstarters is 10$ per box, it indicated on packing slip(A4 paper on parcel), so your VAT shouldnt be huge.
Denis Sadly not :-( it’s at the cost of the game, already saw it with Massive Darkness II. Which means I’ll get retail games if at all going forward :-(
@@WatchItPaintIt I completely understand. I was half-heartedly joking because I’m in that situation right now. I really want them all painted which with season 3 is 350+ miniatures.
@@joshuaclaibourn9847 woah, so many miniatures! I definitely want to start painting up one of the expansions soon. Loved the game. Loved painting it! Just swamped finishing off other things at the moment :-D I didn’t back any of the later things :-( the tax and postage to the UK just made me squirm
Thank you so much for these videos on painting Marvel United miniatures! I have just gotten into painting miniatures and this video was exactly what I needed :). Particularly in the use of washes because to get ready to paint the Marvel United set I began with some figures from another board game (Flash Point Fire Rescue). I used the wash generously on the entire mini and the effect was dramatic. While this is ok for a fire fighter, perhaps making it look like soot on the uniform, it would not work for the Marvel United minis. I just got the starter and mega paint sets from Army Painter, but they do not come with the blue nor red washes you have used. Do you have a recommendation for using an off colour wash? Like is soft tone ok to use for general purpose? Or is it better to spend to get the full wash set? Thanks again!
Hey man! You’re welcome! Hope you’re enjoying the hobby! You can get but using off colour washes. But if you’re willing to spend a little more I would definitely recommend the wash set. I use my washes loads, I’m so glad I’ve slowly got all/most of them! Another recommendation and slight plug - if you use discord check out our Patreon, starts at only $1 but you get access to discord and can ask us live! We’re also doing zoom meeting paintings at the moment. Either way! Happy painting man, tag me in some pics on Instagram if you use it - love to see how you’re doing
Wonderful job. I subbed because of the Captain America vid. I recently unboxed my pledge feeling inspired and primed up a couple of figs. I'm a little disappointed by the mouldlines which are amplified by a primer coat. I have way too many plastic piles of shame and other projects I'm working on to sand or file down 50+ characters for this game. Did you do any cleanup for these models? If so, any advice? I've found the plastics we get with some of these kickstarters aren't always the most receptive to being sanded or filed and I've been disappointed with my attempts to de-mouldline minis in the past, unlike many of the other plastic soldier kits I work with, ie; Bolt Action, 40k, etc. Anything special you do or wisdom you can impart to us?
Thanks for the comment fella! I’ve only done 3 miniatures so far, and only had to fix up the mold lines on The Wasp. I’m with you, I’ve got too many minis to be wasting time fixing them up :-D it has to be pretty bad for me to bother BUT for example with The Wasp, I just use a scalper/x-acto knife and give them a quick scrape. Like 20-30s and that’ll do. It’s not perfect but it’s enough that you’d have to look for them after that and unless I’m painting for a competition it’s good enough for me
How do you keep from having brush strokes on miniatures? I want to keep a very high gloss, does thinning your paint with water,to keep from having brush strokes affect the gloss? Any suggestions to keep the high gloss would be appreciated - I am painting a chess set and don't want to use water based paint.
Thin your paints with water and put on 2-3 thin layers (2 is usually enough). Then use a gloss varnish from a rattle can. This will give your pieces really good protection and make them nice and glossy! Give the flüis brush varnish 24 hours to dry before touching it
I painted the wasp off camera. So I might talk through that while I start painting the next on camera. Think I’ll finish the core box first but not sure who to do next!!
Yeah that one is quite bright. A great base color for red is Mephiston Red from GW. It's super saturated. The pure red from AP is a great highlight color, but I can see it needing multiple layers on its own.
6:01 Left arm you painted blue and then repainted red. You could have acknowledged your mistake and had a disclaimer in the video so someone following your method doesnt make the same mistake.
The bit where I say “keep looking at the artwork and paint the red bits red?” :-D sorry painting this all on camera, editing and adding commentary for over 10 hours wasted some of you time!
@@WatchItPaintIt I absolutely appreciate the content but a simple text overlay at 2:52 of "do not paint this arm blue as I am doing" wouldnt be too great an ask, especially when you obviously realized that you had painted it incorrectly later on (and didnt mention it). Strangely enough at 2:50 when you are making the error you do say "grab yourself the artwork and add blue in all those places: :)
Love it - just startet painting with the Marvel United minies. Finished my first ones Hulk and Red Skull today. It's so much fun!

Great video. For years you have helped me with my hobby. Thanks!
Thanks man, and thanks for watching for years!! You’re probably better at painting than me by now :-D
I could not live without these videos, where did that bring me? Back to you.
Let's see you paint Thanos!
Ooooh. The big man himself!! Really enjoyed playing that expansion!
learning how to paint mini's for the first time at 30yrs of age. Thanks for the content & please do more 8)

Fantastic as usual! Love your work.
Learned a lot from this. Thanks for sharing it and hope you do more marvel united minis
Glad it could help! Will hopefully paint some more very soon!
That skin tone looks fantastic! I was very very dubious when it was looking like Pennywise for a moment
Haha :-D I enjoyed when it was looking horrifying! But I knew it would come good a few minutes later
Cant wait to see you paint some of the new xmen stuff that will come out. Nightcrawler looks fun

@@WatchItPaintIt How about sinister six?
I primed mine in white and let me tell you it was like 9 coats of red to get even. Holy smokes.
Just curious, which red paint did you use?
