I use the base to test new color combinations

6:32 the blue as it says on the tin, is intended to paint the barrels of the PPCs and I think the yellow might be to paint the front of the base to show facing.

I think im going to make a group of pleiades hussars, would love to see you paint one

Thanks for doing tutorials like this. It helps those of us who are less skilled in the hobby aspect to skill up.

3 years after upload... stil inspiring people to try something new. Love the library of video's! Mayby you have some beginner tips for the oilbrushers?

Wonderful tutorial, tried this for my first 'Mech after not painting miniatures for years, came out excellent!

Whoa contrast paints are actually kinda cool

And this model's complete -- screen wipe -- after I work on it for another hour off-screen.

It needs to be a lady ran through a digital filter for that Start Up Sequence , I'm a man of tradition.

Just got in and just got the box. . . What I am curious of is, are any of these starter boxes worth buying doubles? Double Javelins? Double Locus? Double Wolverine?

Hi thanks for the Battletech videos. There is tons out there now about painting miniatures but not so much about 'Mechs. I appreciate the content. Painting an Orc or a Mech require a different set of ideas and approaches.

Very cool! Which 2 sizes of magnet did you use for this project?

Any Clan Ghost bear schemes in the pipeline???

Chalk up another one who didn't know about brass brushes!

Before the dry brushing or washes, do you apply a gloss, semi, or flat clear coat/varnish on the entire miniature first?

I got to the contrast part and everything was looking great but the contrast dried and just left the entire mech black !

i just subbed. Now I'm going to have to go through the channel seeing if Duncan Fisher opens any of them

Can anyone tell me what the music at 1:00 is? I always hear similar music on this channel but I can't find it anywhere.

Ahh-mazing!

That Raven looks great! Very glad I stumbled across this! I tried doing a similar scheme for House Hiritsu with Waystone Green over Leadbelcher and the result was honestly tragic. I was turned off from trying again after seeing how poorly my first attempt came out, but I've recently been looking for a Liao scheme I like and happened upon this. Thank you for mentioning the process you used to get that result.

Great example of "trust the process", all that contrast paint was horrifying haha. Nice work!

Where are the trees from?

Dont disappear mr Camo Spec, you deserve more attention. I would LOVE tutorial for FRR, ClanGhostBear, Clan Ghost Bear Dominion/ Rasalhague Dominion paint schemes. Im a very new painter and will not start out with specific units but have FRR/ RD loyal merc unit with blue + yellow and red colors. Since one or more of these are in any nordic countries flags. I will add FRR/CGB specified color stripe to show loyality like silver/ copper band

I leave any energy weapon points color agnostic with light grey. Custom loadout for mechs. If say I wanted a ppc instead of large laser etc. My colors for IS and Clan lasers, ppc: IS: 🔴🟢🔵, ppc = cyan Clan: 🟠🟡🟣, ppc = violet ER, short burst versions have no color change impact. Micros = Amber/ 🔴mixedwith🟠 Binary laser cannons = light blue Continious laser cannon = white⚪️ Bombast laser = light yellow X-Pulse = 🟠🟢🟣 Heavy lasers = 🔴🟡🔵

We dont get this BT specific paint set here in Norway. Its not absolutely needed but love the BT theme. I did however get the Army Painter most wanted 2.0 set and have primed some vallerjo white on my mechs. AfaIk you dont full even prime coating, just enough to cover any naked plastic parts. Planning on making my own Merc FRR/ Rasalhague Dominion loyal Lance with dark blue with yellow+ red stripes. RedYellowBlue. Since one or more of those primary colors represented in all nordic countries. I add silver to the weapon barrels but leave any energy weapon points color agnostic with light grey. Custom loadout for mechs. If say I wanted a ppc instead of large laser etc.

this is great. feel like i should repaint my jade falcons now

Hey, when you say seal your miniature what do you mean? also lol played my first tabletop game as a clanner I see why IS players get mad.

Thanks for this! Super helpful so I can have my Death Commandos walking on top of crushed Davion mechs!

That was amazing

Fantastic work. Going to try this out. However, the few times I've used contrast paints, they seem to rub off easily when dry, eg. with holding, or even drybrushing gently. Did you seal the contrasts with varnish before drybrushing?

One thing to add: different primers react differently with different paints. Yeah, we all know that. However I found in my "experiments" that Vallejo primers are somewhat problematic with Army Painter Speedpaints. They're too slippery and slick and the paint flows a little too much on them. Unsurprisingly Army Painter primers work better, holding the paint in place and giving it better saturation. I need to test Citadel, AK Interactive and Scale75 primers as well to find out how they'll react. Generally the more matte primer, the better and Vallejo's are more satin if not in finish, then in feel at least.

Looks wonderful!!!

I also like to repose my duplicate mechs to show variety in my factions. I've also had to reposition a few awkwardly facing mechs on their hex bases.

Fantastic paint scheme. Good work. Thanks for the inspiration.

Gonna pass. I don't really go in for speed paints for these. I very prefer base coats and washes. Also no black.

Great video, and I enjoyed the booklets you guys did for Catalyst recently : )

I was looking for a video on how to paint numbers on the side of tanks, etc. I suppose the methods demonstrated here would be used in painting a number?

Did I miss the use of the charcoal? Where did you use that?

Man speedpaints were supposed to make this part of the hobby simpler and easier...

To all you Warhammer 40K players and fans, come join us! Our game is just as good, our communuty is awesome and our lore is immense! (Plus, our figurines won't burn a gaping hole in your wallet.)

One of these days I'm gonna take the plunge and turn my eclectic minis into a Smoke Jaguar army and this is gonna be great for Zeta Galaxy

When is the "reactivation cockpit" tutorial coming out?

Thanks for the conversion of the colors from the box to the actual speed paints, I had most of them to begin with. For once I didn't end up with duplicates 🙂.

get a small hand bit

Didn’t know Blaine owned creative juggernaut. Explains why the PC fascists at catalyst stopped making these.

Absolutely fantastic tutorial man, thanks for this I am about to run a rpg game facing Gamma Galaxy and this is wonderfully detailed

Did you demonstrate how to paint that mini?? That's freaking AWSOME!!!!

Wäre es möglich eine Malanleitung für Liaomechs zu bekommen
