This was beautiful. Your whole underpainting method with the feathering afterwards turned out great. I also really like the recipe you used on your metallics.
As a tip for anyone airbrushing contrast paints: USE A TEST MODEL Not all contrast paints behave exactly like you'd expect through an airbrush and they can gain a lot of opacity. If you're retaining less of your preshade than you'd like, try adding gloss varnish! My theory is that the airbrush is often essentially "stippling" tiny dots of contrast paint on, so the pigment isn't able to disperse like it does when you apply it with a traditional brush, causing opacity and a change in color. Gloss varnish or medium should help dilute the paint and cause it to form an even, smooth coat when applied correctly, but I can't guarantee this will work with every color without experimemtation. Make sure to test this before you paint any large vehicles in this method!
I love airbrush medium. It is different than airbrush thinner because it also contains a medium. Simply blowing airbrush medium and inks makes for a really nice contrast/speedpaint slapchop effect. The trick is to go heavy so you get more pigment settled in the find details.
This is awesome :-) I use artist stippling brushes and hogs hair brushes to dry-brush and stipple paint onto most vehicles, and use a piece of torn up foam padding for rust/chipping effects. Works for me :-> I hadn't heard of slap-chop much, and thought it was a whole new style of painting, only to find I've been doing it for almost the entire 50 years I've been involved in the hobby. I tried an airbrush, but just found them too time consuming with cleaning and changing needles/nozzles for different effects. I love how airbrush models look, but for me, I just prefer my own techniques, and am happy with the end results :-)
Absolutely love this! It takes a simple method and shows how you can be much more technical with it. The results are so good that having to call it 'slapchop' is almost detrimental! That aside, I'm now totally inspired to paint the blank War Dog that's been staring at me for weeks.
Oh man,you have no ideia how glad i am to have found this video. I'm currently making a loyalist 40k DG army,and the color you have at the front at around 3:50 is the exact same i want. I've started the hobby this week,so i'm still very new and have never done drybrushing or stipling,but your videos are so easy to follow.
Love your videos! I am getting back into the hobby after a long break and a big part is thanks to your content. I never invested or purchased any citadel contrasts, but when I saw vallejo was coming out with their own version, thats when I knew I needed contrast/xpress, and started watching more videos and getting models ready to use them. I will say the slap chop method is also a big part of me coming back, as I am a very slow builder and painter, but I appreciate your slapchop videos as well as your other methods you use specifically with contrasts/xpress. I am in the US so getting Xpress paints here is slow going, but I should have them in the next two weeks.
OK, I just painted the tank-body of a Immolator SoB tank with this technique. Worked great! Had to downsize to a small dry-brush for the detailed areas. Thanks!
So you did a truly excellent job compensating for the inherent problems of "contrast" style paints on large flat armor panels. The results are fantastic. I do think they could be pushed even further with a bit of the technique the Artis Opus folks showed off for dry brushing on vehicles like tanks - some stippling mixed in on the large flat panels. The stipples hide tide marks and stains from washes and glazes over flat surfaces - a handy trick.
It is always a treat to watch you work. The music makes each new video feel like a therapeutic session (And dont think I didn't see the improvement to the picture in the background at the end of the video, you sly devil)
Excelente trabajo, me gustó mucho como agregaste detalles de chipping y desgaste a la figura y no la dejaste solo con el slapchop. Gran trabajo, felicitaciones!!!
The ultimate test! Can it go big? The answer seems to be: YES! That feathered out shading trick looks incredible. It's incredible how well express paint can deal with large surfaces.
After being an owner of all army painter speed paints and a large amount of citadel contrast paints...without the need to get any other colors ever you made me want to get all vallejo x press colors aswell.. great advertising 😉👍 Also amazing paintjob..subbed ✔️
would LOVE to see you do a dreadnaught like this. there are no guides on how to do slapchop to it online, and everyone just does either simple blue base, or straight to airbrush.
Love the video, looking to get back into wargaming and miniature hobbying and really try and learn to better paint my models your videos are a huge inspiration and a good guide. Especially love the vehicle coverage as it helps when trying to figure how to tie in the other elements of an army. Think I may use similar techniques on my Drukhari Raiders.
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures I can use Airbrush or simple brush for a dry brush. My favorite one is the brush. Do ypu have a link for this Livestream please ?
Im sorry I tried listening to the video many times and I cant quite figure out what youre saying for the green armor recipe, you start with 3 parts lizard green and 1 part plague green and then it gets very convuluted, something about water and a brush full of THIS? What is this lol, and then you say you add that to 6 parts lizard green and 2 parts plague green... Im completely lost here but I love the green you made. Help me out please.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge Juan! I just got myself some contrast paints because I'm too impatient to wait for Xpress color to release in Australia, but they look amazing and will pick some up eventually!
Awesome paint job. My only critique is, like airbrushing, slapchop is overrated. You can easily paint vehicles by simply drybrushing them. Weathering such as dust and blackened exhausts can also be achieved by drybrushing. Basecoats, washes and highlights are then used to paint details that would otherwise be too difficult for drybrushing. (e.g. exhausts, tracks, wheels, etc.) If you keep the tracks separate, you can drybrush them boltgun metal directly over a black undercoat before gluing them in place. (I like to basecoat them with scorched brown first. That way, the tracks look nice and dirty after the metallics are drybrushed on.) In the case of your sentinel, you could have easily achieved the green colour by basecoating the areas with Catachan green, drybrush it Goblin green and finish with a VERY light drybrush of rotting flesh. P.s. The technical term for "slaptop" is called staining. It's a technique that has been used by historical wargamers for many years, long before GW came into existence.
Thank you for sharing. At the very first stages, when "stipling", has the majority of the paint been removed from the brush or are you stipling using a "dry brush" but no paint removed?
Amazing work sir. Can I ask a question somewhat related to the green in this video? If I'm aiming for 'olive drab' on like, WW2 tanks and stuffs, should I go with the green on the video? Or Plague Green? Armour Green?
Knocking it out if the park once again, my friend. Awesome work How are the Vallejo paints vs contrast, do they rub off easily? What’s the vibrancy like? Some of the contrast paints are just so pigment dense (the purple) that they’re not great to use
Hi! I really would love to try this out but I cant get Vallejo Xpress in my country, mostly citadel paints. I couldnt find a good alternative to lizard green, any suggestions? Maybe Dark angels green from citadel but it looks a bit too dark for this
How do you get your paint so perfectly dry? I either find that my brush holds too much/keeps wet, or I wipe/dry off all the paint and the drybrushing doesn't pick up anything...
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures Also, I apologise for all the questions, can you tell me which drybrush brushes you used, along with the contrast one? Looks like it held lots but applied really neatly! Definitely something I need. Thanks for taking the time to reply, this ended up looking awesome!
I actually show and explicitly tell which brushes I'm using for Drybrushing here. They are the Rosemary and Co Model Drybrushes, as for the other one is a Rosemary and Co series 33 size 4. All of them can be found in the link in the description and pinned comment. No thinning paints for Drybrushing, that only makes your life harder IMO
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures Ah I'm sorry, not familiar with that brand name so wasn't sure what you were referring to, Sorry for the dumb question but thank you! Super appreciate that, I'll definitely look into them :)
hey do these vallejo xpress paints reactivate or can you do layers on top? the army painter speed paints 1.0 reactivate a lot so im curious if these do or not. haveny gotten any army painter speed 2.0 yet might go vallejo tho... i do all my priming in panzer gray so itd be nice to get more vallejo
I am wondering if i can use slapchop to paint my friends cadians in one day, in an okeyish manor? I think its worth a try. Thank you for the inspiration. Wish me luck.
Hello. I am very like what's you do and this video and technic very good too. May you recommend a background color for main color Macragge Blue instead of Zandri Dust?
I feel like at this point it's not really the same thing as people talk about with "slapchop", the basics are the same of course but the smarter application of the drybrushes and stippling steps away from that a lot. But I'd have probably not thought of painting like this at all, without the slapchop thing
Slapchop is fundamentally just "sketch style" or grisaille; the point is to set up a value map and then cover it with translucent paint. Focusing on drybrushing vs stippling vs airbrush is missing the forest for the trees, I think. It's a catchy name for a time honored strategy, initially demonstrated using only extremely approachable methods...but that doesn't have to be the end of the story.
Which Rosemary drybrush are you using? There are several different types on their website. Smooshing, Vegan Smooshiig & Hog Hair domed. Thanks for another great video!
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures thanks! It helps if I type "dry brush" in the search box, rather than use the menu like I had been doing! When is the Juan Hidalgo Rosemary & Co Brush Set coming out? That must be soon?!
I already did my review on the old ones. Spoiler alert: not a fan at all for obvious reasons I haven't tried the new ones yet so I can't talk about them
Gracias Juan por el vídeo es increíble, entiendo que el pincel seco también se podría hacer con gris y subidas hacia blanco, no se si lo has dicho mi inglés es malísimo 😂, lo dicho muchas gracias por el video
Hola Juan. Tanto el vídeo como el pintado genial. Me ha llamado mucho la atención el estilo del vehículo. ¿Es steampunk? Me ha recordado un poco a algún diseño de Dragon Ball. Muy noventero, no? El caso es que estoy pensando empezar este hobby y me llama la atención estas miniaturas y no sé de qué clase son y cómo conseguirlas. Espero que puedas ayudarme! Saludos
Gracias, es parte del juego Warhammer 40000, en concreto del ejercito de la Guardia Imperial. Puedes encontrar las miniaturas en muchas tiendas online además de en la oficial: www.games-workshop.com
So again an amazing video , however this isn't fair when can we get our hands on some of these express colors......lol......kidding but not I want to try these so bad .......thanks again Juan
I've actually been waiting to paint my new cadians. I'll probably try this once xpress paints become available in Australia, there seems to be no real date as to when they'll arrive :(
WAIT A MINUTE: Rosemary & Co also have drybrushes now? Didn’t know that! Very nice video, again, thanks! I’m curious, why exactly did you choose this brown tone for underpainting? It seems it’s not really visible anymore afterwards…
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures oh right, forgot about them. My bad. Thanks! Guess I’ll give them a try. Which sizes do you use/recommend for „regular“ size models?
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures thank you for the replies and I'm sorry for not making it clear previously.. the greens that catched me are on the main panels.. what do you suggest for the plague green substitute? 😯
To be honest I thought it looked better before you applied the green contrast paint. I wonder how it would have looked if you had used the same technique when you applied the beige paint -- stippling and so on -- but used various green paints instead. Seems like the contrast layer would be unecessary on this model.

I found the key is to use flow improver because it dilutes and slows drying time.

You can easily paint vehicles by simply drybrushing them. Weathering such as dust and blackened exhausts can also be achieved by drybrushing. Basecoats, washes and highlights are then used to paint details that would otherwise be too difficult for drybrushing.

You don't need it
When you drybrush, do you keep the drybrush bristles slightly moist with a sponge pad (like the Artis Opus D kit)? Do you use a texture palette?
No and no, I'm old school. I use a paper towel and that's it
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures Wow! How do you prevent that chalky look that drybrushing sometimes produces?
@j.taylor7361 that happens when you keep on drybrushing after the paint is dried on the brush, reload and whipe away often
would screaming skull be ok instead of mixing the zandri dust and white?
Yes, why not.
It's doesn't really matter what exact colours you use, as long as they are bone-ish looking
Hello. I am very like what's you do and this video and technic very good too. May you recommend a background color for main color Macragge Blue instead of Zandri Dust?
For blues the best is a grisaille, or in layman terms, black, grey and White

@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures thanks! It helps if I type "dry brush" in the search box, rather than use the menu like I had been doing!
When is the Juan Hidalgo Rosemary & Co Brush Set coming out? That must be soon?!
I don't think that will happen 😂
Any thoughts on Army painter speed paints?
I already did my review on the old ones. Spoiler alert: not a fan at all for obvious reasons
I haven't tried the new ones yet so I can't talk about them
Gracias Juan por el vídeo es increíble, entiendo que el pincel seco también se podría hacer con gris y subidas hacia blanco, no se si lo has dicho mi inglés es malísimo 😂, lo dicho muchas gracias por el video
Pues se puede, pero el caqui le queda mucho mejor al verde que el gris ya que hace que pierda menos saturación
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures ou pues entonces lo hago mal pues siempre uso gris nunca sé si pierda saturación o no, pero seguiré practicando muchas gracias
Sobretodo pasa en algunos colores como la piel o el amarillo
Hola Juan. Tanto el vídeo como el pintado genial. Me ha llamado mucho la atención el estilo del vehículo. ¿Es steampunk? Me ha recordado un poco a algún diseño de Dragon Ball. Muy noventero, no?
El caso es que estoy pensando empezar este hobby y me llama la atención estas miniaturas y no sé de qué clase son y cómo conseguirlas.
Espero que puedas ayudarme! Saludos
Gracias, es parte del juego Warhammer 40000, en concreto del ejercito de la Guardia Imperial.
Puedes encontrar las miniaturas en muchas tiendas online además de en la oficial:

Express are great.
Indeed
HELLO, THIS IS VINCE, FROM SLAPCHOP

So again an amazing video , however this isn't fair when can we get our hands on some of these express colors......lol......kidding but not I want to try these so bad .......thanks again Juan
As far as I know the paints are already in the US, Vallejo has fulfilled all the orders. It's now in the hands of the distributors
@@JuanHidalgoMiniaturesthanks just bought them all , I'll have them in a weeks time.......I didn't think they were out yet , thanks again
Happy to help
I've actually been waiting to paint my new cadians. I'll probably try this once xpress paints become available in Australia, there seems to be no real date as to when they'll arrive :(
Yeah, you guys have everything worse than all of us and the fact that Vallejo are slow to cover distribution across the globe doesn't help
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures Can you give Vallejo a gentle nudge to not forget us please ;')
I will try
WAIT A MINUTE: Rosemary & Co also have drybrushes now? Didn’t know that! Very nice video, again, thanks! I’m curious, why exactly did you choose this brown tone for underpainting? It seems it’s not really visible anymore afterwards…
Yes they are the same ones that AO sell
You mean AP? Ok, I already got those. Thanks!
No, I mean ARTIS OPUS. Rosemary is the manufacturer that makes the brushes for them
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures oh right, forgot about them. My bad. Thanks! Guess I’ll give them a try. Which sizes do you use/recommend for „regular“ size models?
can you slapchop a boom dakka snazzwagon?
I'm afraid not. I have no desire to paint Orks ATM
Are express colours the same as speed paint or contrast?
Yes
Aun recuerdo la primera vez que use el pincel seco... me voló el cerebro.
How are you thinning your oilwashes?
I'm not using oil washes here...
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures So the plasma coil of the Sentinel wasn't painted with oilbrusher? Edit: Oh I see, you paint the coil in a different video!
Yeah, sorry for the confusion!
the after boop antenna
That antenna broke SO MANY TIMES
CHUR!
Thanks my lovely Kiwi viewer!
Please paint a small army! 😊
I think I'm already doing it 😂
if you have not already, would you consider doing an Ork Vehicle with this kind of method, please?
Maybe, but right now I'm deep into Leviathan projects
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures I would like to see a gloomspite gitz Squigg mini as well. I think those mangler squiggs would be perfect.
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures I got my leviathan ordered. excited to see how you paint some nids.
Water and not medium this time? Scratch my head. Hmmmm Thank you for this video.
Water makes the paint flow better which helps on large flat panels
any chance swapping those xpress color with citadel contrast color range?
Sure! You won't probably find exact matches though but they do have something in the general neighbourhood
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures do you have any suggestions for the greens sir? 😁
Closest to Lizard Green will probably be Creed Camo and to the Dark one, you can probably use Terradon Turquoise
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures thank you for the replies and I'm sorry for not making it clear previously.. the greens that catched me are on the main panels.. what do you suggest for the plague green substitute? 😯
Nothing, I would just use Creed Camo
☠️☠️☠️ BONK
Can u paint a tyrannofex ???❤❤❤ pls
Sadly no, I have no interest in Tyranids at the moment. Sorry
What then is the best thing you’ve held in your hands?
I'm SO TEMPTED to say something very funny and VERY inappropriate.....
But I have to be serious, I have a reputation to maintain, it's my cock.
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures It’s so cool you have a pet Rooster! You should show him on a TH-cam video sometime! 🐔
Sorry, he only appears on my Only fans
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures Hmm.. can’t see you there. But this just confirms my suspicions all along. That you’re actually Belle Delphine in disguise!
@terrydactyl2077 It's true
To be honest I thought it looked better before you applied the green contrast paint. I wonder how it would have looked if you had used the same technique when you applied the beige paint -- stippling and so on -- but used various green paints instead. Seems like the contrast layer would be unecessary on this model.
Probably, but I prefer the filter over the stippling to make it more subtle
Great paint job, it’s not slap chop though 🫣
It is, it's a drybrush grisaille with a contrast type paint on top. It's literally what Slapchop is.
Thanks btw
Oh yes so it is 👍🏼
