Nice! That color scheme looks quite fun to paint.I might give it a shot in one of the future videos :)

:D Sure, this is not meant for painting your troops. It is more for something fancier, like a special character. There are definitely easier ways to do it, but some people,like me, just like the more difficult fancier approach :)

Thanks 😊 I know NMM is a bit divisive, but I enjoy painting it way more than true mettalics and I like how it looks more as well 😅 That being said, the next video, coming this Friday, will be only with true metallics.

Try it out. It doesn’t look right

@@brianfarris5676it does after you slap apothecary white contrast over it & work from there!

Unfortunately, I dont remember exactly, I have painted quite a few models since then, but I would say it was somewhere between 8-12 hours or so.

They aren’t. White is one of the biggest pains to paint.

40k is much older than fallout, but nice try

Welcome aboard! :)

Actually, I already have one for Night Lords in a similar style :) You can find it here: czcams.com/video/wviMmHj6exc/video.htmlsi=WW6k_VrFr3jDJ7c7

Thanks, Chief. I'll make sure to keep that in mind next time 🫡

Actually, there is a pretty cool Nightlord terminator painting video on the channel already. 😎 Although I am definitely doing another one with some of the newer Nightlords models as well at some point. Ave Domino's Nox! :)

@@ph3lansminiatures FOR NOSTROMO (thx😅)

Thank you. It is hard to see your own progress sometimes. So it is great to hear that people like you who have been looking at it from the start can see the improvement :) Out of curiosity, why do you dislike the airbrush?

@@ph3lansminiatures I might get heat for that, but it feels a bit like "taking the easy route". I struggle a lot with blending and light placement on my models and seeing those quick airbrush results is disheartening sometimes.😅 On top of that an airbrush setup takes up a lot of space and additional money that could be invested into more brushes, colours or even new models. In my case, it wouldn't fit my painting space. To sum it up, sometimes I just don't like the "clean" look of some airbrush paintjobs. Not yours of course, because you manage to get an end result that looks really "complete".

@@robertrichter7389 You won't get any heat from me at least, those are perfectly fine reasons :) An airbrush requires quite a bit of investment in time, money, and space and not every one will dig the look it creates. The only thing I don't agree with is the "easy route" one, although I fully get where you are coming from. The airbrush is a pretty difficult, but really fun, tool to learn but once you know what you are doing it can do some things faster and easier than the brush, but using it creates its own problems. You need to deal with overspray, it destroys the recess shading, it desaturates the colors etc. So you basically trade one set of problems for another :D For me the airbrush and the brush are complementary tools, you use them for their strengths and compensate for their weaknesses. Using them both makes me a better and more versatile painter overall (or so I hope). But not using it is perfectly fine as well, you can put more time and effort into your brushwork :)

@@ph3lansminiatures I've also been here since close to the beginning and there's no other mini painting channel that makes me go OH HECK YEAH when there's a new upload like this one. Thank you for all of the time and effort you put into helping the rest of us learn how to paint, and I look forward to seeing how much you grow from here!

@somnielle Thank you, that's incredibly high praise 😊 I'll try to live up to the expectations with the future uploads as well!

Yep, they most certainly are oil paints and behave like they are supposed to as well as you can see in the video :) I covered the gloss with matte varnish where I applied the transfers, except on the shoulder pad, where it makes the colors pop more. On the rest of the model, the oil wash knocked back the glossiness enough so that I conveniently didn't need to do anything.

Now that you mention it, it is kinda funny 😅

Thanks 😊

as a black templar enjoyer-more black templar. but I know you did a video on one a while ago. lovely work.

Let's try white... White Consuls Captain Messinius... love the character

Amazing work on the Space Wolves Terminators! I'd be interested in seeing your skills applied to painting an Imperial Knight.

@MrGunpocket I have an emperor's champion model that I want to paint in the near future 😉

@robertwilder4953 wow, that model and scheme look great. Somehow, I have missed this model, but I guess I'll have to pick it up next time I go to the local shop 😅

It is indeed metal, and it is satisfyingly heavy. 😂

@@ph3lansminiatures thank you very much) now I’ll buy it 🙂‍↕️

Sure, it is a Neatfli led lamp. It is pretty close to daylight ( 5500k) and works great :)

@@ph3lansminiatures Thanks very much!

Technically, you could use a wash, but the end result would look quite different. It would darken the recesses just like the oils, but it would also stain and darken everything else, which is the biggest downside of acrylic washes. Since I made this video, I have started to use water mixable oils from winsor and Newton. Those are easier to use than the normal oils if you are looking for an alternative :)

@@ph3lansminiatures thanks for the tip!

@@ph3lansminiatures thanks for the tip! can the W&N paints be removed with a sponge as well?
