We spend so much time with Rob being a sassy biscuit that we forget he's good at explaining things and making really good content. Great video man
If you don't want me at my sassy you don't deserve me at my explainy
Lol sassy biscuit is a beautiful phrase
We are here, and We are watching you.
YASSSSSSSSS.
Fancy seeing this guy here! I've painted many many hours of models to your videos
I'd been going through a tough time lately. The books were dropping thick and fast and I was having to dedicate extra hours to the painting table just to make sure I wouldn't get evicted from Adepticon. As I was completing my 7th edge highlight of my Glutton's armour plate, my wife told me that I was spending too much time painting and she wasn't sure if she could make it work anymore. I didn't know where to turn. Then I discovered this video, learned the Slap Chop method, and within a day my entire Ogor army was done, and my marriage was saved. Thank you Mr Robert sir. I'll let you know if Adepticon evicts me.
Hahahahahabahababahahababhaa
Lmao
Well obviously you have to go all out on the Gluttons!
So no going back to painting that 7th edge highlight and spending 20 plus hours on a single shield then?
New video Title “How to save a Marriage with SlapChop.”
@@OgreOnSprue Exactly, no shame lol.
i lost it at "vel eh jo". This video is a masterpiece.
Awh thanks xxxx
Come on, its well known how well the English pronounce funny foreign words properly, my father-in-law still pronounces pâté properly, payt, and dont get him started on fa-jeet-as.
This video single-handedly made me want to start painting minis. Not only because it’s an easy entry point, but because it really showed the creativity of the process, and how you could explore it without it being a super daunting thing.
Hope you give it a try. You will be surprised how good it can look. Reaper makes a great "Learn to Paint" kit for new painters.
@@Upsideround I did! Painted a Jade Obelisk Warband, using mostly slapchop. I'm going to explore more layering based techniques with my next project (the free Seraphon). The video worked.
@@0supermoose804 keep up the good work! try all kinds of different shades and colors. You only get better with time and experimentation
As someone with really bad tremors that wasnt an amazing painter before it got worse this technique got me back into painting and I really like the way they turn out. Ty for an awesome video
I have really annoying random physical ‘ tics’. I can be in the middle of painting and everything is going well and boom my shoulders have to adjust and it ruins my work 😂
I find painting while tired and no caffeine for the day settles my tremors before painting. 2am painting sessions are also relaxing
Hey I have tremors too, nice to know there a few of us out there! I really enjoy painting using an airbrush and more "grimdark" style with solvents etc. It's much more fun too !
Lost it at "Rub it on your hand so people know you paint stuff" 😂 Great content Rob and really useful video!
Its true though. if I want clean hands I wear a latex glove on my left.
This is amazing Rob! You're killing me with the Vallejo pronunciation lol
Hahahah I can't wait for actual painters to get this triggered
@@TheHonestWargamer My soul shrivels up a little bit more every time I hear it said like that. Not that I'm doing the ll = y pronunciation myself, but that J... it hurts.
9:10 "Blanco". 🙂
I'm spanish, and you pronounced it really well, @The Honest Wargamer
Thank you. I've often wished I could learn from the legendary Turkish master painters. Now I can
They are kind and make good tea
Before this video and the countless other videos singing Slapchop praises, I would stare at my pile of unpainted silver and grey shame... some going back over 35 years. I would chip away at this pile with some models taking a month to paint.... Now with Slapchop my method of choice I just finished painting 8 models in a day and that for me is a miracle. Yes, I still focus on the unimportant and generally invisible details but the basics are completed in no time. Thank you, kind sir... I salute you!
I'm happy for you
"This is VAHLEYJO Gray, its a Light Gray, it works very well." Never change, Rob, never change
Oh a celebrity. Hi babe
That pronunciation almost made me turn off the video and flip my desk... xD
I didn't have to scroll far for someone to point this out. Lmao
This video is everything! Finally a painting video that didn’t bore me to death! Robs enthusiasm and explanations are just perfect! All painting tutorials should be like this
Thanks baby
OK for real... more videos like this, Rob... nailed the humor, quality and editing. Well done sir.
On it
This is, somehow, one of the best painting videos I've ever seen for fast armies. Love it.
Thanks Russ
As someone who's not painter, but still wants my miniatures to 'pop', this looks like the perfect compromise for me!
Thank you for the great tutorial!!
Man I gotta get me a ‘valley-joe’ number one paint!
Excellent video sir, well done.
Its the best
Finally someone who pronounces Valejo properly
I'm already excited for app of the year award
This tutorial saved my saurus knights… and my life. Thank you slap chop. Thank you Rob.
NEXT STAGE. GLITTER CHOP
@@TheHonestWargamer GLITTER OR DEATH.
I thought this was going to be satire. I still laughed and added the first, and therefore, best paint, Valle-joe 001 white to my collection. I have not been disappointed. I look forward to the next installment of rob the honest painter.
I've always hated how contrast-painted miniatures look. I always wanted to do contrast paints to save time, but I really just don't like how they turn out (when done the way they're "intended"). This method looks more than passable, it looks fantastic! You just opened my world to contrast paints.
Slapchop expressionism is a modernist movement, initially in tweeting and painting, originating in Northern England around the beginning of the 21th century. Its typical trait is to present the world solely from a subjective perspective, distorting it radically for emotional effect in order to evoke moods or ideas by the quickest means possible. Slapchop Expressionist artists have sought to express the meaning of emotional experience rather than physical reality.
I've screencapped this
By a complete coincidence it looks remarkably like the first paragraph of a Wikipedia article on expressionism.
Hahaha, this comment is fkn GOLD!
The SlapChop modern expressionism painting style really comes alive when the mini is engaged in the throes of battle. The emotional response is fully realized by the viewer of such works and not forced. The viewer is given the Freedom to feel one’s true emotions.
This is both legit funny, and legit a good painting method! As someone who really doesn't love painting, and has a 6-month old kid, I don't have a ton of time to do complex painting stuff. I'm excited to try this out! Thanks Rob!
Oh man please tag me in pics
Amazing video!!! i have lots of friends ( just 3) who struggle painting their miniatures, this should help them putting those minis on the table and stop ruining my immersion. Thank you Rob!.
I only have 3 friends too!!! We should be friends
@@TheHonestWargamer I thought we couldn`t be friends since im a youtube Thug, BEST DAY EVER!
His humor makes these videos so enjoyable to watch. 😂
I used to get white fingers from wetblending everything, taking hours to paint even a Grot and me not being able to take care of my day job as a professional flutist. But now, since discovering #slapchop my fingers are back and so is the flutisting. Thank you slapchok!
Rob, thanks for the slapchop vid, the hype is now real.
Get Slapping chop daddy
I can’t wait to tell my son when he grows up where I was when the slap chop was created
The birth of q system
Perfect blend of humor and information, that was so good man! Great gift to the community
I've been using the Slapchop method for years but now I feel relieved and reinvigorated to have a name and wider understanding of what I've been doing. You have changed my life Rob!
How, how……how did you do it, i am speechless 🤷🏻♂️. In all honesty, a really Great video. Gonna try this technique on something myself in the future. Slapchop rules
You can do it!
Nice, this is the speedpaint secret that has been used for a while now! Before contrasts and speed paints, this was used to fast paint with washes, inks and glazes! Great vid
Brilliant tutorial! I've been doing something similar but with a base of: Wraithbone spray - Aggrax Earthshade all over - Wraithbone drybrush. Slightly warmer base for the contrasts.
Sounds cool!! The muddy chop?
@@TheHonestWargamer The mud chop sounds like a euphemism for butt sex.
I've had a similar method I've used for ghosts before -- black base, grey over-base, wash with Athonian Camoshade, drybrush ghost grey.
"...Magic Energy Ball... It's pretty intense."
Image caught me off-guard, so I Lol'd.
Legitimately laughed out loud a couple of times. I asked what this method was a while back and now I know! Thanks for the great video.
Thats all I can ask for
More in the NEAR future, thank you very much, if you’d be so kind, good sir. Much obliged. 😊 Although not revolutionary, you do present it so well, I’m instantly looking at my printed pile of resin and see the proverbial light at the end of the tunnel, whilst expecting to have a jolly good ride getting there! As some of your illustrious Tube compatriots say: Paint bravely!
Good luck buddy and thanks!!
Great to have a video that is friendly to the common painter - thank you Rob!
Happy to help
Glorious!
I too have started to paint on my hands to make sure people know I’m a cool person! In all seriousness though fantastic content here, the plaguemarine especially looks great.
Thanks Alex. I can do paint throughs easy
One of The Best and fun tutorials out there. Wish this was a thing when i started painting two years ago. Thank you for this gem
Happy to help
Love this video, I hope folks get the tongue in cheek joke. A massive help to get noobs painting without fear.
I hate painting, but I love Warhammer. This has been the most inspirational video on painting I've ever seen. I may actually paint something now. Thank you, Rob. Sincerely, your humble TH-cam Thug.
LETS GET TO IT
if you painted that death guard lord you HAVE to do a guide it looks incredible 😮 can't wait to see more painting videos!
If?? Yeah baby. All of them
Awesome. Great resource for painters and memeologists. Very wholesome and great linking to other resources online.
Thanks you babe
Rob, you F***ING LEGEND!
No u
I just wish I'd seen this before Adepticon.
For realz, awesome practical painting guide. You're a hobby hero. 👍
Great video! Rob’s philosophy has convinced me to buy a resin 3D printer. I’m going to be slap chopping every army in AOS.
OMG YES
I’m true to my word! This week I’ve learned how to use the Anycubic Mono X that Rob uses and I’ve printed a 2k Fyreslayers army and most of a Idoneth army. Just need to find a good alternative sculpt for the Allopex. Slap chopping away at the IDK now.
"Just rub it on your hand so people know you paint stuff. That way people know that you're a cool person."
"Vallejo white is actually a really good paint to use because it's literally 001."
You just kept cracking me up this entire video. Thanks for "simplifying" miniature painting in a way my monkey brain could understand. And you're funny as hell man! Earned a sub from me, cheers!
Anytime babe x
Watching this again months later now that some folks are hating on the method is so weird lol
The humour isn't exactly subtle, it's obvious you're kidding around. It's a nice fun video that is well presented and helps encourage folks to get their models painted!
Great Guy, Best Method. Painting like a Pro via SLAPCHOP , Thank Rob and Grot Gang!
Bro this is amazing. I consider myself more of a painter/modeller hobbyist but techniques like this are incredible.
Would love to see videos on your 3d printer etc
Okay this may be your greatest ever video Rob.
Really solid stuff and a great easy access video for new players and hobbyists.
As with everything we can tend to over complicate things this I think is an invaluable video and way to paint for new members of the community.
Well done.
Thanks babe
It’s almost finished looking with just the drybrush. Smoooooth.
thats my favourite stage
Who is this handsome man. I’m getting better at painting just by looking at him. Thank you Ron.
THANKS CUTIE
This tutorial just made my day! Well done mate
Omg, like thats all i needed to hear. Thanks
Great video. Loved the slightly tongue in cheekness of it but also that it showed really how simple it is to get a well painted model ready for the tabletop. Looking forward to the next one
I'm glad cause I ain't a pro
This is perfect and Rob is my hero.
LETS GOOOOI
As a beginner, all i can say is I LOVE YOU! Tyvm.
The first five seconds killed me
You are such a cutie
This is easily the greatest painting tutorial/motivating I have ever watched. Thank youuuu
Happy you liked it Johnny
Greatest painting video ever made.
Wow, thanks!
I absolutely love this!! Don’t paint in armpits and butts, got it!! 🤣
you must focus
Yeah, this is such a well produced video. Great painting advice too!
Thanks nick!
Dude, this was brilliant!! I’m gonna have to try this on some new project. Thanks for sharing. Cheers!
HAPPY TO HELP YOU BABE
This was awesome, great work Rob!
AWH!!!! Thanks!!!!!
This video is pitch perfect and sooooooo important for the community.
Excellent video, great explanation Rob. You’ve inspired me to try this on my 40K orks
works so well on them. ive done the same
Genuinely interested in giving this a try -- a big barrier for me when painting is set-up time, such a faff getting everything ready to go, but this is such a simple method for some great results.
Banger Start To Finish.
Absolutely gas and looks great - 100% going to slapchop my idoneth I just started
All gas no brakes baby
Slapchop Hype!
HYPPPPPE
Bro this man is a fudging legend, someone give him an Oscar for that!!! Loved the video Rob and thanks to you I to will be using the slap chop technique ✌🏽
Let me see when you do
@@TheHonestWargamer will do m8
This method is truly amazing. It worked for me immediately and helped me get over my crippling fear of making mistakes painting. Very simple and low skill required. After drybrushing it's basically like filling in a coloring book picture!
I've always been struggling to understand how dry brushing works, but until youtube I never even knew what the effect was and how it was supposed to be done.
And this video does it in exactly the kind of detail I needed to understand it, because most tend to brush over it (ha ha).
"I'm so proud of my army, it took me 2 years to paint it all, but it was totally worth it. By the way, yours looks pretty cool too, how much did it take to paint it all?"
"Oh... I just painted it while I was traveling on the train to come here."
This is the best video i've seen in a while! I learned new things, for example did not know that vallejo white was the first paint ever before watching this. Thanks Rob!
We grow as a group
Rob showing off a member of Mini painting cartel. The properly made an offer, he couldnt refuse
Loved it - great resource for narrative painters 🙂
#narrativegamers
Currently waiting for my Army Painter Speed Paint mega set and I can't wait to use this method to get my Kruleboyz on the table quickly!
Man ! You rock ! I am painting for 10 years but I am not so good. I am definitly testing your technic !! Seems so a bright idea !!
Im glad someone finally gave this method a name
Yay
Amazing stuff! Excited to see more
Thanks a ton!
Just found this channel and I'm inpressed because it doesn't take you for a fool but at the same as being really good for day one beginners who've never pained a model in their life. I've been in the Warhammer hobby for almost thirty years and I still make mistakes and I'm definitely still learning so this is great. Cheers👏🖖🍻Scott Reede. 😉✊
THANKS BUDDY
I had to check (multiple times) to make sure this wasn't an April Fools video.
Excellent video, and supremely entertaining. Subbed
HEY thanks
I love that half of the tips, is just to make sure other people know you're a painter. No GF makeup brushes, and make sure you paint on your own hand
I absolutely love that you've brought up the make-up brushes, incredible usefulness vs price, you can really up you painting game by using these as compared to the "drybrushes" offered by g-dub or army painter, I urge anyone who just likes to drybrush and call it a day to use these, you don't need to spend crazy money on just getting stuff #done
Yeah thats the goal hahaha
Makeup brushes are so good that it actually feels insulting to see how much artist Opus wants for their dry brush range
@@stevehall364 You get a nice box 🤣🤣🤣
Haha, this is great. My kind of painting tutorial!
CHEERS CUTIE
Wonderful video! May the TH-cam algorithm bless it!
I pray we catch the winds
"rub it on your hand so people know you paint stuff" Love it. :)
Finally a paint tutorial any one can achieve. Thanks mate!!!
Easy peasy. Let's get slapping
Nice to see you branching out mate. Miniatures look rad. I’m a competitive gamer and have always struggled with painting also. These simple steps have really broken it down into manageable steps. I’m assembling a soulblight army which I believe this will work great for. Thanks for your content man.
Great video with some cheeky humour in there ;) I use a very similar method over top of Zenithal highlighted models, but never thought of over top of dry-brushed! BRING ON THE SLAPCHOP!!!
This technique has changed my paint game for the better. I’m getting better results in a fraction of the time. I’ve watched other videos and applied some variants, but this is where it all started. Thank you. Sincerely.
Enjoyed it. Looking forward to some more.
Thanks bud
Honestly did not think it would look so nice! Surprised it came out so well
Please do try it. Especially a model with a lot of texture
8:24 That MERP cover took me by surprise... Love it!
What a great way to start the day. You sir are a scholar and a gentleman.
Thanks babe
That was a really cool tutorial mate I really like the intro and the address of the technique seems almost painless. I cannot wait to try it myself. Big loves 🤘😎♥️
More of this Rob, please…
On it
You have saved the hobby Ron
We can all got to adepticon
I have struggled with shading to the point that I had stopped enjoying my painting. I love this! I have painted three mini's today using this technique and the new Speed paints. This has helped me so much.
lmao! this was such a fun video! Subbed and looking forward to see more
Oh thanks!
