I love to see a video where you use the new army painter fanatic paints!
It's in the works!
Day 1 of asking Magnus to paint a model with toes to boost engagement - I dare you
Don't tempt me Satan!
"Everything looks better in person, but way more achievable" - I felt this so much, especially NMM. I chatted briefly with Arnau about this subject and he said that IRL you can see that NMM is not magic and is just paint. Now I'd argue some of his stuff does look like magic haha, but it was super interesting to hear.
It's absolutely this. You appreciate the skill more but see it for what it is.
It’s an amazing finish and your work in insane but it’s really not explained very well it’s all over the place and seams over complicated, as a beginner myself this is an extremely hard video to follow
Hey there! Thanks for the feedback - we always appreciate people reaching out. Magnus' style is quite back-and-forth which can be very hard to follow for beginners. Our 'Getting Started - NMM' video might be a better place to help explain the fundamentals. Regardless though, we'll definitely look at how to onboard beginners better.
@@GitGudPainting I will take a look for sure 👍🏻
Beautiful! Is there a complete video of the skin somewhere?
Thank you! The skin tutorial is here: czcams.com/video/uQSLMJBFyOc/video.html
@@GitGudPainting Thank you so much!
Thank you so much! Light and shadow is something that I barely understand, this will be of great help!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you! Great video on a complex subject. Could you elaborate on how to interpret the columes on a anatomic bust? When I try to paint an orcs, for example, I get lost on where to place the base coat, shadows, and highlights. Should I approach each muscle as a single form initially, connecting them later? If so, how should I determine the light source position for each muscle group?
You've essentially got it right in answering your question. Taking the example of muscle groups on an arm, we can think of the arm as a cylinder, and the muscle groups as cylinders on that cylinder. This can be quite overwhelming though when you're starting out, so a zenithal prime (initial prime of black followed by a prime of white in the direction of your light source) can help you visualise the volumes at play better.
@@GitGudPainting Thanks!
Great video! As a beginner, I'm struggling with basic concepts like brushstrokes, light and shadow and colors. This kind of video is what I'm looking for. It would be perfect if you could suggest some simple exercises to practice. Thank you!
It's a great question. I think the first thing I'd say is focus on one thing at a time in your journey. You mention light/shadow, colours and brush control. Brush control will come with time, providing you're painting your minis and having fun, you'll build up that fine motor control, so don't worry too much about forcing improvement. So initially I'd focus on light/shadow (or volumes as I would typically frame them). Personally I think space marines are great for learning volumes as they have nice big primitive shapes. Take a reference photo with a single light source and try to duplicate it on the model using just a single colour and adding black/white to the mix.
@@GitGudPainting Thank you! I will do that.
Molt útil l'explicació. Moltes gràcies! 🥰
You're very welcome!
That apothecary piece is some of the most incredible OSL I've seen. Like it actually looks like a light has been turned on and is illuminating the scene.
Glad that the piece is getting love! Definitely motivated me to try some OSL.
Agreed. It was a very nice scene!
Smiling from ear to ear (and blushing). Thanks for the kind words! The weekend was a blast and made some friends and memories I'll forever treasure.
You did great man. Much deserved!
really enjoyed this one lads. Great episode

You're welcome!
Thank you for doing these videos! I am learning a lot 😊
You are so welcome!
We are doing it right then! Yay!
Awesome !!! Thank you ! ❤️
Glad you like them! 😊
I'm doing the same as Bruce : trying to make each miniatures better than the previous one. I feel it's a really great mindset!
Absolutely! There is so much to get over-awed by in the hobby, all you can focus on is making each little improvement
Slow but steady progress with focus on improving from the last piece is defo a great way to get better!
Are you chaps based in London? I’m trying to find face to face painting coaches
Sadly not! Magnus is based in Denmark and Bruce in the North West. Good luck on your search for a tutor!
fantastic video!
Glad you liked it!
Quickly becoming one of my favorite painting channels!
Wow, thank you!
Thank you for high quality material on painting such scale! It's really useful. And relating to paints you talked about - it's really one of my biggest bugbear - when there a moderate amount of water in the palette, paint gets diluted too much after 30-60min of painting and turns to colored puddle. When there are less water - paint gets chunky and paint leaves the brush poorly (especially on tiny brushes like 00 or 000). When trying to revive such paint with some amount of water it turns to glazes and still difficult to setup required paint condition so have to add new drop fro the bottle. Very nice to see how good, soft and nice blending on your models! You do really great woks for all painters society! Cheers!
Thank you, it means more to us than you know. I will say, it isn’t that easy for me either controlling exact consistency on the palette, and sometimes I find they dry out too quickly. I tend to keep the main puddle a bit thicker than intended and the take from the edge of that. I also make a fresh palette every painting session (mostly😂)
@@magnusnielsen7599 I'm struggling with paints drying on the brush by using HQ brushes of the bigger size (1-2) but with really sharp and precise tip. Unfortunatelly it helps only for one project (and if it's quite big than still might need to take a new one to keep adding sharp details). If only we have an universal recipy for such matters :D Anyway, thank you again for your work!
This armor is sick😮
Thank you so much for saying ❤️

Isn't that a Dark Angel?

Thanks for sharing guys. My own story is a mix of the both of you, I've only been into the hobby a couple of years, and only decided to really push the last year or so. Loving this channel and the like-mindedness of you both and my own need to constantly improve. Keep up the great work guys 💪
Thank you! Be sure to check in and share your progress!
That means a lot! Thank you for the kind words :)
Stunning ❤

Thank you! I really like the look it ended up having in relation to the armor :)
Holy shit how did you get that armor? I wish my mini looked like that
