Another great video. Really loving these videos so keep them coming! Ha I've literally watches everyone over the last week🤣 Love the brushes too, just received my series D set and excited to get using them. My series S have done me proud and have lasted pretty much a year!! Thank you
Really love your content. Gives a new aproach on how to mini painting. And you are really a master at dry brushing. Subbed and the notifications on. Cheers
I was looking for this exact purpose of picking a texture paint for a little project ( Basically getting the paint scheme that matches my army's lore ) Thanks for this quality of review
Love the video! Watched it in conjunction with your snow bases tutorial, just wondering if you should spray the base with the colour before doing the varnish or after?
Hello there ;) I love to watch the all "how-to" on the channel. One thing I would really want to see it how to use vallejo crackle effect medium without airbrush. I've bought it to have this effect as with GW technicals, but I didn't figure out yet how to used it the most effecient way. I started do wonder should I mix it directly with paint on pallete and apply on varnish to have nice cracks.
Good call dude, we've done how to use their chipping one, I imagine it's similar, but it's a cool effect, so it's absolutely worth looking at in the future.
Doesn't matter buddy, the only thing that matters is whether there's a sealant on it, in which case stick it that side *down*.Fine grained is easier to rip specifically, but coarse gives less control which can look more natural on edges
Do you just glue the miniature onto the texture paint? Does it hold well enough or do they fall off pretty easily? Also if you wouldn't mind, what type of glue do you use? Plastic, Super?
It's also extremely easy to 'pin' your models through cork, using a small hand drill, and a piece of paper clip, it is one of the nicest things about cork! A dab of superglue on each end and you're good :)
Great tips and tricks 👌🏻 Missed seeing all the tutorials. Have you tried Heavy Violet from Vallejo yet? It’s def my new replacement for Naggaroth Night
Hi Carl, I've seen some people painting blue underneath, and then carefully painting the texture as cracked ice, it seems tricky, but there may be an efficient way to do it!
I managed to get a neat ice effect by painting white over the texture paint, following it with a glaze of icey blue (baharoth blue for me) and then drybrushing it with white again. You can also add some gloss varnish to finish it. It is very quick and simple but looks nice.
Just asking, my paint says 'technical' instead of 'texture'. I've used it on some Kastelan Robo bases and a little bit cracked cuz I applied a lot of it. Are the Tex and Tech paints the same thing? Or can they be used as the same thing?
Of course! Although speeding up the process does actually slightly alter the final effect, did you know? Not in a bad way or anything, I think it changes the average size of them bits
@@ArtisOpus I’ve tried both ways, there does not seem to be a difference of the outcome, mainly application per thickness or how much you build it up, thicker usually nets larger and deeper divides and of course less individual division or cracks, pva also influences, be it wet or cured
I know it's your brand, but using sable brushes to brush on texture paints instead of a cheap synthetic has my eye twitching in that "what are you doing?!" Way. Lol 😝
just a minor technical issue, when you talk to the audience (us) you need to look directly at your video camera, it appears in this video that you are looking slightly up and to the right (your right, our left) ... this loses "eye contact" with your audience and a little disconcerting ... otherwise great information provided, thank you
Thanks dude, the display is very hard to ignore, working on it though, it's much easier when not shooting alone (lockdown life), but I have to make sure I'm in frame! Hopefully I won't have my unsettling off-centre gaze in the future.
How is this a fast way to do your bases? Its anything but fast hahaha. It took 60+ minutes for the technical paint to drie and you had to wash ut twice thats an extra 30 minutes. This is a 90 minute base at the very minimum.
Working time is fast, if you're working on a batch of 30 or so the time per base is minima. If I do stuff like this I tend to make the base and then just get on with my life/do other hobby, and come back to it... rather than sitting there watching it drying 🤣
It may be 4 years old but this video helped a lot, cheers
13:15 The Victory Lap! The best part of painting any miniature :)
Absolutely!
Cutting the tufts, brilliant! Thanks for showing all the different types of bases
My pleasure! Thank you too!
Love the one over PVA glue! Thanks for the hack!
Our pleasure, my dude :)
Great tip with the PVA under the texture paint. Stealing that one
Perfect, it is magic! Enjoy :)

Amazing dude, your support means a lot!🤩🤩😊Hope the brushes serve you well!

Thanks so much for the kind words dude, pleasure to have you on board :)
Great tips! Never really liked the results of this paint from citadel but you've given me some ideas. Will try this out.
Glad you enjoyed it - let us know how it goes!!
13:50 goblin green it is then.
very nice video
😊. Thanks dude!

Our pleasure dude :)
I used mordant earth on my salamander chapter master for his cloak, looks really good
Great idea, it works on nurgle, too!
That looks fantastic. Nice contrast with the armor.
Thank you for watching!😊
Very good video Byron & team 👍🏻
Thank you much appreciated - Hope it helps with your hobby!
@@ArtisOpus everyday is a learning day 😀
is the pva glue completely dry for this ?
Yessir!
Do you let the pva glue dry before putting the texture paint down ?
Yes :)
Can you use matt brush varnish to seal ot?

Do you put PVA glue down, then a primer?
Great basing video! Does your fork come like that or do you make it?
How do you stick the model of the base? Super glue or pinning?
Can you do a video on how to clean the dry brushes please?
We certainly can! It'll be up in the near-future, thanks for the suggestion :)
@ArtisOpus is there any chance you can tell me wich kind of cork are you using? I mean, fine grained or coarsed grained? Thanks.
Doesn't matter buddy, the only thing that matters is whether there's a sealant on it, in which case stick it that side *down*.Fine grained is easier to rip specifically, but coarse gives less control which can look more natural on edges
@@ArtisOpus Thanks a lot! that was very helpful mate!
is the pva short for pva glue?
Yes it is😊
Do you just glue the miniature onto the texture paint? Does it hold well enough or do they fall off pretty easily? Also if you wouldn't mind, what type of glue do you use? Plastic, Super?
Inzul Madaco It holds very well, even more than super glue imo

@@krishee92 Thank you!
@@ArtisOpus Thank you

I have used it! It's a proper pigment brute :). Love myself a good purple. You're welcome dude, glad it was useful!
How can I color the technical paint? So it doesn't turn out so red. I'm going for a wastland theme. Do I dry brush or use wash? Is there another way?
Hey dude, just prime and paint whatever colour you like
@@ArtisOpus thanks for the reply!😊👍
I'd like to see if that paint could create an ice effect ... :D - love the video

Miniocalypse you are welcome :)
Amazing to hear, thanks so much 😊
Brilliant tutorial
Look's very nice mate! If I dont want to use a bright color like you, which one will you recomend me for the drybrushung step?
Mhhhmmm, you could mix a bone with a brown of your choice to soften it, doombull is really warm, and a favourite of mine for that reason :).
@@ArtisOpus You rock mate! I have painted a few of my marines and I use your tutorial for my bases, would you like to see them?
I know some use a matte and gloss varnish instead of PVA to get better cracking. Is that accurate?
Requesting guide for some nurgle bases!
That can definitely go on the list :)
Just asking, my paint says 'technical' instead of 'texture'. I've used it on some Kastelan Robo bases and a little bit cracked cuz I applied a lot of it. Are the Tex and Tech paints the same thing? Or can they be used as the same thing?
Absolutely yeah, they have changed branding constantly for the last few years, you're all good! :)
Nice to go! Btw, i really needs Warcry terrain tutorial. I can be waiting!
Noted! It's gone in the list :)
Did you not glue the tufts in? Does that sticker really hold them?
I tend to grab them with tweezers and dab them on a little superglue on my pallet, once I've found a place I am happy with :)
You don't prime your cork before adding the texture paint?
Hey dude, nope, it's going to get hit with the matt-varnish for protection after anyway, which does all of the protecting and priming needed :)
you do not have to wait for it to dry naturally, I use a hair dryer on medium setting and it's done within a minute or 2
Of course! Although speeding up the process does actually slightly alter the final effect, did you know? Not in a bad way or anything, I think it changes the average size of them bits

;) we definitely don't use our 'Sunday Best' brushes for this!
you need to look at the camera lens bro
😩My biggest struggle!
just a minor technical issue, when you talk to the audience (us) you need to look directly at your video camera, it appears in this video that you are looking slightly up and to the right (your right, our left) ... this loses "eye contact" with your audience and a little disconcerting ... otherwise great information provided, thank you

@@ArtisOpus i understand. But at the core its not Fast. Fast is glue + base ready mix.
@ArtisOpus looks great
Thanks, buddy!
