You can save time and get a better look with the tracks here, just paint them in a dusty, earthy colour, overspill onto the surrounding armour is not an issue as dust/dirt would be kicked up anyway, this is the dust/dirt trapped in the track links, then dry brush with a dark rusty brown and finish with a light dry brush of a gun metal colour just hitting the most pronounced edges, those are your contact points where the tracks are in constant contact with the ground, much more believable than silver tracks and I reckon it would be quick and easy to do even at this scale
I know you painted that amazing tank on the video, but its been commented elsewhere that for infantry models, painting on sprue and then putting on the base is a great and preferable method. Just have to remove any connection to the sprue, save for the attachment at the base, and prime/paint away and remove at the base connection when done.
Great video as always Byron, keep 'em coming, they are great lessons to us mere "adequate" painters!!
Most anticipated release from GW since original Epic!
So want to have these models NoW!!!
One week to go for you, my man, well worth the wait!
@@ArtisOpusI know... :'(
But it'll be a perfect early Christmas Present :D
These look absolutely amazing! Looking forward to hopefully seeing more Imperialis tutorials
Thanks buddy, we will have to see... Something big might be calling next! :)

That scarf is EPIC Byron. Nice.
It's -2 Celsius in the UK, epic scarfs are required! Thanks man :)
Great wee video and I think these principles can apply to any army painting project worth a watch.
Also was that just great timing on that Great Unclean ones part! 😂
I just found your channel and will begin a binge-watch momentarily. I purchased many miniatures 3 decades ago and gave up on painting when I destroyed a wizard with my poor skills. I'm hoping to find some basic information on paints, I mean basic ... wash? contrast? base? I am clueless but I have some hope after watching this video. Thanks for showing your technique ... I think I can do this. -Ace
Fantastic video, super useful!! Some great cautions in there and explanation of the key differences in painting at this scale (which I've never done before). Looking forward to putting this into action!
Our pleasure man, we hadn't properly until we started :). Enjoy the tiny tanks!
I love mini mini’s , got some tanks on order and I can’t wait 🎉🎉
It is cold in Manchester at the moment! I’m going to have to watch this a couple more times before trying it out on my tanks.
Crazy wasn't it! My paint wasn't drying 😅. Glad you found it useful dude, hopefully we helped you out, what scheme are you going for?
Aerials and stowage for that final touch! Look at 6mm scale WW2 GHQ models for inspiration.
What happened to the like button - because I wanted to give it a big thumbs up
It should still be there! We will take a comment though :)
Really valuable video, thank you
Our pleasure my dude 😊
There's so much good content and tips here, I'm going to be watching this multiple times for sure. Any chance there'll be more videos showing off more content around the little tips you showed? I'm planning to paint World Eaters, so I'm sure I could learn a lot from the White Scars tank you've done
8:12 YOOOOOO WHAT IS THAT CORK HOLDER!!! i never knew anything like that existed. me wanty.
It doesn't, it's a prototype :). We're trying some stuff out currently, it works pretty nicely, though.
Great video! Some really good advice :)
Cheers, buddy!
This was a lot of help and I was hoping you would do a tutorial on the epic series vehicles. Thanks for sharing this.
Our pleasure buddy, thoroughly hope that everyone considering it tries at least one tank, it's so much fun :)
Damn. That panel lining step really makes things pop. I'd love to try that with some streaming grime.
They are asking for some oil action, Henry from COP has done some incredibly efficient quality jobs for his personal army, well worth checking their last video!
mm, panel lining certainly pops here!
Great rules since I have none established for tiny models.
Where did you find that awesome egg-shaped handle??? My hands are getting older and that looks like it'd be helpful
Watch this space, it's something we're testing :)
Cool as always.
Watching while at work 😂
Perks of being a hgv driver 😂
You be careful! :D Hope our audio kept you company
Great video. But White Scars are the V Legion. XII is World Eaters i think 😅.
Byron's the GOAT🐐🐐🐐
I would suggest trying the dark in top on the sides to define the contrast with the top of the vehicle but that’s just IMHO
Either is good, if you're weathering that can result in it all being dark, but it's great on shiny ones
How did you do the panel line exactly? Gloss varnish, then acrylic sepia wash and then just be very fast with the cotton bud to not let stuff dry? Or enamels and white spirits so you have time?
With the varnish down you don't need spirits, I just used water, 90%+ will come up if you're not super-slow, it works surprisingly well.
Even airbrush cleaner would lift off way more, should work at minimum as well as mine
I want to ask, as several others have, please, please, where did you source that wooden-egg-shaped and cork paint handle. I really, really like it.
It's something I made myself and is in testing, worked quite well so far but there's some remaining tweaks :)
so what i have found is dark silver from pro acril is probably the god tier of single coat weapon casing and dark metals. it is NUTS how good it looks.
Try Vallejo Metal Colour
PS best bases I’ve seen! ❤
Great video! I'm intending to do Raven Guard, so lots of black but also plenty of white. What would you suggest for that? When it actually comes to painting the infantry, is there anything to be said to painting them on the sprue?
Good question, but I don't think so, definitely removing them, sticking them to sprue in a line and painting is a good idea, but the tabs aren't always great and they need a bit of prepping before paint IMO.
Raven Guard: Get a good white. Bold titanium from Pro Acryl is seriously strong, and a channel favourite.
Thanks again to youtube for giving me no notification 😢 another premiere missed.
Oh no, about 5mins late only! It's on us, it only notifies when there's a certain amount of H notice, i think
Same here, I was lucky and had YT up, so saw the red notification that it had started.
Only missed first 6mins
We did have a minutes quiet reflection during the chat for you.
@@darrenj3720 a minute of silence for the fallen brother kamykaze? 🥲
@@ArtisOpus at least the app should notify the exact moment you are going live, otherwise it would not make much sense to have different "tiers" of subscribing imo. It's not a big thing though!
Hello, I have an idea for a video. I have series D, series M and series N. I know when to use series D, but I’m not sure when to use series M or series N. Can you make a video breaking down when we should be using which series? Unless you already have a video about this and just I can’t find it.
I see a lot of artists use Varnish at the end. Can you explain the difference between using matte finish vs varnish finish? Thanks.
One leaves things shiny the other dulls it down
So for panel lining and a dark scheme, would something like black basecoat, varnish, light grey panel lines and then black contrast over the top work?
Your lines would be lighter than your surroundings there buddy, I'd go for a white basecoat, asides from that absolutely.
Oil washes would work, too, but they might be 'too' thin
@@ArtisOpus Thank you!
Epic Space Marine was my entry into the hobby in the early 90s. Hooboy, has miniature painting come a long way since then. The minis in this clip are about five times better than 'Eavy Metal miniatures used to be back then.
😅 things have come on a lot, haven't they! Even just the products, paint coverage, etc.
These minis are wonderful, whoever was involved made some very smart decisions on what to leave and what to cut, what to exaggerate scale-wise etc.
I like you've used a Sicaran tank to demostrate on how to paint Epic as if you were a bigger scale tank for Warhammer: THH and 40K.
17:55 what do you mean by “pigments” please?
Pigment powders :)
Would tiny Dark Templars be easy or hard, do you think?
really easy IMO, I'd probably leverage basing/weathering on tracks as hard as possible for contrast (brown-orange maybe, or light grey), maybe shiny silver bits and bring windows, too.
At 15:14 you say “I gloss varnished it” why did you do this please?
To make it shinier, and help remove the wash where needed :)
What glue do you use?
Revell contacta poly cement :)
@@ArtisOpus thanks
