Honestly, I think mono pose works well for ranked up troops because it adds to a vibe of top notch training and martial prowess that a block of 8 dudes are all posed the exact same
agreed. plus trying to fit 20 of the current range halberdiers together is a really painful experience I would not wish upon my worst enemy :D
Another great video. There is something very satisfying about painting these older models. They look great lined up.
The fun you had painting these shows! They are the coolest. Thanks for sharing. And the stickers i got from you are brilliant. My table looks great with them.
Those are absolute beauties. The faces turned out extremely well, great character on there. I’m not a big Alford guy either but they look great. I also appreciate the old monopose figs, they are actually quite nice figs. I’ve been painting up the Battle Masters figs lately and these are right in with those design wise so this is great inspiration for me! Thanks for posting!
Amazing work, as ever! Last year I finished a unit of these in Hochland colours. They were returned to me after 20 years from a close friend, classic mini. These are GREAT!
Always beautiful results! I enjoy seeing your love for this hobby on screen and it really shows in your work.
Amazing job! These were my first plastic minis and you've represented so well.
The hidden gems of classic warhammer you keep finding is amazing
They look fantastic! Thanks for the tutorial, Deets!
Oh my god, these bring back memories, my friend and I painted up 50 of these models for his Empire army many years ago and by the time we’d finished we hated them, but they did look great on the table all ranked up.
Wow, they look amazing!
You've done it again, those fellows turned out great!!
Dude. You are so fun to watch and are way better than Squidmar.
i concur. one of fav painting channel alongside wizards brush.
Whoa, I don’t think you can get any further up Nostalgia Lane. 1st Warhammer minis I ever painted and these are 👌
Same here, the literal first model I ever painted in a GW store in Glasgow late 90’s 😅
Ah the perfect thing to take my mind off this cold
Mate you´re improving like crazy with every video. Well done
Watching it again on YT as well as the Patreon
More Empire!!! :)
i love this painting style!
I love how you learned not to lather on wash like it's some colve-all wonder wash or something, moderation is key in all things even painting. I have 27 of these old Halbardiers last year n painted them half in Altdorf red/yellow and the other half in Middenland blue(well the previous owner started those colors so I just finished em really). I love the charm of monopose minis for certain factions that are very disciplined like High Elves, Empire, Dark Elves etc
Another great video D.
Love the work! Your videos always inspire me to break out the paint!
Cheers mate! That’s great to hear 🙌
Lovely oldschool models
Excellent job mate these look great 👍🏻
Love it! Would love to see a studio setup vid - including camera setup!
You are getting very good bro! Enjoy your vids very much. Appreciate the tutorials. Respect from Brissy!
Love it, these where my brothers first ever minis. Seeing them gave me my start into the hobby.
Awesome work Deets, these guys came out awesome… literally been doing the whole “use wash sparingly” also and it makes a difference hey. what a banger result 🤙🏼
Eyyy thanks man! 🤝🍻 It certainly does, much better finish
Awesome !!!
If you're really stuck, and have some way to print them, there are Warhammer Fantasy Shields STLs available pretty readily online to fill in those gaps.
These look amazing. Right out of a 90s whitedwarf. Well done
Great paintjob as always. These were the first minis for my empire army and they were the first WH minis I have ever painted
Unreal end result - you’re painting is getting insane!
Freaking amazing paintjob.
I just want to say, ive begun using your normal pale skin recipe for my own human models, and its real nice even on modern models.
One of the things that got me really excited for The Old World was that they updated the map to have heraldry for Tilea and Estalia. Obviously that confirms nothing, but I do think it means there's a non-zero chance of a Dogs of War army list in the future.
the nostalgia is strong with this video, thanks
Well done!
I've always been partial to Middenheim, but Marienburg will be cool too
Mate looks awesome! Congrats on no washes brother! We’re on very similar painting journeys
Haha I literally just commented on the same thing! The no wash club 💪🏼
Thanks! Hell yeah man 🙌
I was just painting up some Empire last night and was thinking I haven't had a dose of deets for a bit - so great timing and beautiful work as always!
Deetz back at it again
Great Job. Always liked those halberdiers. Hope they come back some day.
Still some of the best looking Empire miniatures, who actually look like well disciplined and trained soldiers and not like a bunch of murder hobo pirates.
A lot of the early mono pose plastic minis capture the essence of their armies and often (not always) much better then the later releases, Empire, High Elves, Chaos Dwarfs.
One of these was the very first mini I owned and painted; I got it with an rpg magazine as a promotion in the late '90s. I never owned any more Empire unites, but this first guy is still an esteemed part of my ever growing collection. 💙
Gorgeous! Worthy of following Emperor Franz to battle!
Fantastic Deets. Nostalgia rating 10 on 10
man those look amazing! it'd drive me insane painting the exact same mini over and over though :D but yeah, stunning results mate! :)
Monopose FTW. Nice work as always
I hope you never change the music
Talabheim- love the red and white and would like to see how you approach that.
Good job, they look very good for batch work.
These remind me of the ones that came with Battlemasters.
I really like when empire army's are multicolored to show the different states
Phenomenal mate.
O they cute!!!1!1! 😩😳🤭🫣
Nice.
Looking great Deetz!!!
Amazing! GREETINGS from Germany!
Watching your videos has had my going through ebay for oldhammer. Dammit lol
We are many, we are legion, we are Chorf enthusiasts. We will not stop until our bearded beauties are back.
Reminds me of the Battlemasters Halberds
Very nice!
Thanks mate!
Nice paint job! I'm also very excited for the upcoming Cathay release, but not so confident about the legacy factions coming back 😢
Thanks mate! Yeah I’m feeling the same way…. Fingers crossed 🤞
Cracking video. Would you consider molding the shields to have doubles of them?
As you hate batch painting, the other 8 could be painted one from each province perhaps?
First Elfes, now Humans... Hashut will be so furious.
I just realized smth... These guys look almost like the original human blood bowl players. :D
Man if only we had halbards with shields atm
Still no Reikland?! Great job mate they look grouse
Any Dogs of War minis on the horizon? I know the models can be tough to get a hold of but they have so much old world charm
I hope they re-release these mono pose sets, I hope to build a trolling army of 100 mono-pose 2nd ed. Gretchin.
Personally for rank and file troops, i skip over doing the eyes, you're not going to see their eyes on the tabletop, and they usually wear some form of helmet so their eyes would be in shadow
Whenever I see these old chunky monopose models on eBay, I always try and snap up at least one because they’re always weirdly larger and more robust than many of the later models in the Warhammer Fantasy range/the returning Old World range so they make great unit champions or heroes but still fit in due to the consistent art style over the years. Like put one of these guys on a unit of the current Old World Halberdiers between a musician and standard bearer and they look amazing and distinct as unit leaders.
ostermark next please
Ostermark!
how would you compare guilliman flesh to reikland fleshade?
Ostland for the next eight please!
you should try some Vallejo model color air metallic, it will change your life.
Gonna start saying "super schmeko" now.
If you want stupid fast faces try this:
A rich, royal Purple for the shadows, red around the lips, cheeks, ears, and other spots were a lot of blood would gather, and a bright lime green for the brow, forhead, cheek bones, and nose. No blending. And for say fingers its
Purple in the shadows again, red for the flats, and green on the knuckles.
But that’s not a skin tone you say? Well this is where the magic happens: thin Cadian Flesh into a glaze, and simply run it over all the flesh. Do about 2 layers, 3 if absolutely need be- but don’t overdo it as we want some transparency.
This makes a very complex, and very easy, and amazing skin tone that is the way I’m paint all my skin from now on.
And to explain the colors a little:
Purple is used because it’s not only dark, but has tones of blue, and red. So it makes for a great shadow color that implies red, and blue blood vessels.
Red is used because of areas with high blood flow, hence the cheeks, and flats of fingers.
Lime Green is used for two reasons: it’s saturated. But also acts as the color where fatty tissue would build up.
Averland for the next batch!
Definitely 👍
Please paint Hochland down the line! I want a guide on how to paint mine haha
When I painted mine, I used paler greens for trousers and the poorer troops, who would wear inferior looking items of clothing where the dyes would've washed out.
For higher ranking troops like Greatswords I used richer greens as they'd probably like to stand out on the battlefield.
The red you can basically copy from this tutorial.
For hats and belts I stuck with brown leathers, Hochland is a relatively poor and humble province who are more pragmatic and less flamboyant (although they do have some flamboyance)
wait was Grand Cathay actually fully confirmed?
Hey dude. I hardly use Nule ay. I use a lot of Agrax earth... For washes..
reikland?
For Sigmar
I like the models very much. but they are far too small compared to current models. more in the 6th edition historic perry scale.
These minis have a weird name. Just throwing it out there
I'm getting kinda tired of the song, but good stuff!
bro please stop with the ai voice over
love it dude.
