#warhammer40k
Local man feeds entire cans of paint to his army of bug pets.

This is a comment.
@5567 5555 Oh i'm sure, i tend to travel a lot
I just realized imagine genetically engineering Pet tyrannids
I hate this but I honestly don't know why it upsets me
Really want Matt to get more sponsors just so that I can see him paint bigger models or bigger armies
I think the barrier for him painting more/bigger models is time not money honestly lmao
make him paint a knight castellan haha
He is but a mortal man
“Just don’t get too close to them”
I have shit brushes, shaky hands, and limited paints. That looks amazing
same
All those problems can be fixed easily
1) dont buy games workshop for paints and brushes, there are way higher quality brushes n paints from other companies.
2) adjust your working position (this is for the shaky hands. I have them too). Just sit right in a comfortable place, while painting try to rest your elbows in the table and get or make a painting handle so you can focus on ergonomics
This hobby is not so expensive as people think, you just need to be smart and have a job
Yes I collect warhammer figurines I do like a fair amount of citadel paints, if budget is the main issue then you probably should go for something else, but if you have the money citadel has some great paints
@@yesicollectwarhammerfiguri9473 What you should do about hand shake actually depends on where the shake is occurring. Elbows on table works great if the shake is coming from your upper arms, (i.e.- it's more a problem of stabilization than a true tremor) but if someone's still having trouble, the shake/tremor is probably happening in the forearm/hand itself. If that's the case, I'd recommend that they instead try sitting in a reclined position and painting close, with the forearms resting/stabilized by one's chest, a la Black Magic Crafts here on CZcams.
Also, in the latter case, if it's real bad, maybe mention it to your doctor the next time you're in for a regular check up. There could be undiagnosed neurological issues going on, and your GP will be able to judge whether it's worth seeing a specialist about it.
Lemme help you out. Water down your paints (huge difference) and use moar washes. Makes such a huge difference. Ungodly huge. Also try drybrushing. 3 easy ways to make huge improvements without skill.
When Matt plays your faction: Oh boy
When Matt using the similar snow theme: OH BOY!
When Matt abandons your army for Harlies: oh boy..
@@QDurlstonP Yeah, poor him, maining two armies that arrived in the top 5 of the neglect Olympics
@@Aconspiracyofravens1 Atleast the Harlequins are good, the models are also great imo, but yes, a bit sad that you only have a total of 8 units in the book.
@@Aconspiracyofravens1 is pure sarcasm bud, nothing meant seriously here 😛
Do you have nids with snow bases too?!
Number 1 rule: New painters, your models will not look like the ones on the box. They will not be perfect, they will not be amazing. They won't necessarily be shit but just realise that you will get better over time.
thank you. i'm terrified of putting paint on a model. luckily, i have like 15 models my wife got for free from reaper 20 years ago to fcuk up on.
Just have fun! It’s all about the journey! Papa Bless! 🦟🦟🦟
@@Micsma Just do it. I had models and paint sitting around for months before I actually had the courage to paint them. Came out much better than I thought. 3-4 models later and they started looking good.
@@Micsma you never get better if you don't paint. I found my first models I remember being so proud of and though, "what the hell is this shit?". The more you paint the better you get and within a year you will have improved drastically.
@@Micsma always, always thin your paints. Apply multiple coats insted of 1. It will look so much better and let you make more mistakes without ruining the details. I've been painting for a couple of years and i can see the improvement in my collection. Get cracking! :D
"These are troops, you shouldnt spend too much time on the model"
Me: Spending 6-8h on every single Orkboy (painting and conversion)
I feel you, I paint my guardsmen like that XD.
all that counts is that you're happy with them in the end
@@tindragicevic1793 I would love to see pictures of those :3
2 weeks for a squad of 10 Guardsmen , i feel you .
Gotta give some love to the Troops as well :P
@@Tomcat_Coyote 2 weeks, two berzerker conversions. It be like it be sometimes.
"I'm a mediocre painter at best"
"I just ordered 1000 points of harlequins"
I feel for you Matt. I don't think you'll have a good time.
It’s like when you see a toddler about to run full tilt into a door jamb...... you’d try to stop them but it’s way too late for that.
He's gonna paint checkers everywhere? I think you can hobby cheat with an ULTRA fine tip sharpie
Airbrush + stencils; though. Harlequins are *hell*; but at least those two things make them easier if you're cool with not detailing further.
I love the harlequin aesthetic, but jfc, I can't paint worth shit so i could never field an entire army of them
*laughs in Adeptus Mechanicus*
Matt can we skip a step and just have you inject warhammer content directly into my veins
What step are you doing?
Wait, WHAT STEP ARE YOU DOING RIGHT NOW?
you cannot handle his injections, his injections are to strong for you traveller.
awwww yeahhhh!!!! :-)
Lol
Need a light?
When you realise that it‘s the same colorpallad as the neongenesis evangelions alpha 01 and now you can‘t unsee the similarity
Tyranids are angels. It's now established canon thanks to you.
pretty sure you mean 00, or Rei's eva, but it really does
I play Infinity and for my O-12 faction, I used purple and green lime with hints of gold, for my minis, which looks eerily to the Eva-01 Shinji uses, without realizing I used those colors expecting that. It looks awesome for my full futuristic armored units.
"Magikarpusedfly" has evolved to "Guardsmancastfist"
You're doing Bat Reps on twitch? Can we get some on the channel as well? I'm not free at the time you stream and I feel like a lot of other people want to see those too :)
Pretty sure you can rewatch Twitch videos
He saves the VODs so you can go back and rewatch them. It's not as... edited as someone like Miniwarming or Winters SEO, but they're good
"...you have to have so many different paints to put on."
*Laughs in Space Marine*
*laughs in Guardsmen*
laughs in ork boyz
I mean, I'm building my first army (Raven Guard) and I have a surprisingly large number of paints for an army whose armor is black.
I'm a sadist and painstakingly sculpt on dragon scales to most of my salamanders, so I have a bit more to paint lol.
@@meanestgreen3320 Damn, I respect all that work. I've seen so many awesomely painted figures that I spend way too much time on mine to try to get even near to a high level paint job.
Finecast from citadel is just... Everything that CAN go wrong, WILL go wrong
>first time buying models in godsdamned YEARS was a full Death Korps platoon.
It's been like two months and I'm still engineering ways the green stuff I have can be used to hide incorrectly attached limbs to a good 6 or 7 Kriegers.
GG forgeworld. GG.
Just convert krieg With Pete the wargamers video or buy recasts, honestly most recasters are better than forgeworld
Man, I play Necrons. All my named HQs and their bent and broken staves are exactly why finecast is a swear word in my lexicon.
@@brothersteakneggs1274 You only had to do this for 6 or 7? I bought a platoon, 60% of them didn't fit together properly. Some were messed up so badly that I contacted forgeworld and they threw a free bag of dudes my way to make up for it. They were so loathsome to build that I traded them away on r/miniswap in the end.
@@Ze_Lady
Dude I too bought the platoon package. I've gotten the majority painted so I've been able to overcome much of the worst.
I know for a fact that my forgeworld purchases are gonna be fucklimited now. Or I say that at least now because I'm a sucker for the Kriegers despite as @frankieh said, finecast is now a slur to me.
5:53 as a veteran painter, this physically hurt to watch
Bro that was legitimately painful to watch.
As a newbie that hurt to watch
I let out audible cries of cringe and disgust as my muscles were spasming at the sight of that depravity.
10/10 he got us good in a way worthy of Eric Andre.
i thought that was kinda statisfying
@@CortanaX after I delt with the shock.... Yes ...
Some tips from someone who has been in the hobby for a while.
1) Write down your process. Like, which paints are for what, if you mixed them with anything, etc. It will help when you want to add more later on.
2) When it comes to some models, think about sub-assembly. It makes painting certain parts a little easier. Just put some poster tac/blu tack on the connectors to get a good spot to glue when you are ready.
3) Army Painter makes some of my favourite brushes.
4) I try to avoid Citadel paints. I find them too expensive for what you get, and you just end up thinning them anyway. Plus! Some of their paints are pretty shit (Looking at you any of their whites....) HOWEVER! They really hit the mark when it comes to washes. Nuln Oil, Agrax Earthshade, and Reikland Flesh are amazing.
5) For white: I recommend P3 Menoth White. A really nice white if you need to paint it. Look into P3 for some of your paints. They have very similar colours, and are really nice.
6) Look on Amazon, you can find empty dropper bottles that you can use to dilute, and store your favourite paint. If you don't have a stock of Airbrush ready paints, I strongly suggest putting in the time to do this. It is a bit time consuming, but you will save time in the long run. All you have to do is mix the paint you like, with airbrush thinner, pour it into the dropper bottle, add an agitator (small nuts or ball bearings work good) and shake when needed. That way you have a supply of airbrush ready paints at your disposal.
7) Unless you have a stencil, don't try the Harlequin diamond pattern. It is super time consuming, and ridiculously difficult. Amazing if you can pull it off, but it is hair pulling madness. If you DO have a stencil, care to share where you got it?
That's all for the totally unsolicited advise.
Good luck!
I recently started up this new hobby by purchasing a start collecting box from my local hobby shop. If anyone is remotely interested in Warhammer 40K for the lore, building, painting, or actual strategy game, I would completely recommend it. I did not know I would enjoy it as much as I am and I have already finished a whole Necron army and am moving on to a Space Marine detachment. The hobby itself is expensive, but it takes time and patience to finish building, priming and painting. As a person who has played video games all my life including many years of competitive ones such as League of Legends, CS GO, Rainbow 6 and more, I found that Warhammer 40K a game set in a world where war and terror is the main plot, the hobby itself is quite relaxing and healthy for your brain. I struggle with anxiety due to my job as a software developer and computer science student in university but, little did I know that taking 20-30 min a day to build a model or finish one part of a models paint job would help me so much with my personal issues. It has opened a new creative world for me to delve into without feeling the stress of losing virtual points in a video game, or dropping a tier in league of legends due to a loss streak. If anyone has questions on the hobby feel free to reply to this thread, I would love to encourage anyone to get into it. Thanks for putting out these videos Magikarp, I love that the game is getting more attention.
Largely due to your group and a few of my friends, I’ve started working on a bit of a Plague Marine army. Bloat drones are so fun to mess around with!
"You want to prime during the day when the humidity is low"
*Lives in Florida where there is no such thing as low humidity and the air feels like a swamp
So I actually started painting and collecting pretty soon after your second 40k video. So thanks for inspiring me to also collect plastic crack with y'all.
Currently working on CSM Iron Warriors army that is nearly done, just three models to finish painting then gotta base them and drill out the barrels.
Then I'll be able to move on to a different project for a bit.
Sadly I've been so busy and tired I just haven't had the energy and time to paint recently, but hopefully I'll get back to it soon.
protip on painting a full army in 1 week; dont.
I was going to say the same thing until I saw this voice of reason here 😂
This is the realest answer though, unless you hate the painting part, why rush it? This is the hobby, the fact that it's slow means you can get hours of meditative enjoyment out of it, and they'll still be on your desk when you get back. Even If they need to be on the tabletop soon- unpainted ones still count! Confining it to a week or weekend is like stuffing a box o' chocolates down your mouth in 30 seconds or watching a good movie at 3X the speed.
Tip
Hire someone to do it for you
I come back to this comment to help me through
Gotta love the model painting! Excited for the new video!
"Mr. Castro, can you please explain why you listed chew toys and snausages as business expenses on your taxes?". "Data protection. Here is a link to the video."
Finally what I’ve been waiting for more MagikarpUsedFly 40K vids
9:48 "troops take a long time because there are smaller and harder to paint." *me as a gloomspite gitz player with a 120 grots* hah hah that's uhh pretty funny....................
Was thinking of getting into Gitz, what do you think of them?
*holds head and groans in 80 poxwalkers*
WFB skaven slave blocks of 50...
running multiple cheap 100 point blocks...
painting 300+ skaven and only having enough points to have your core for 1000 point games...
cries in agreement with 90 boyz, 30 grotz, 30 lootaz, 14 nobz......
@@commandercostas I run a Squig/Grot list. I love them. Grots can hold any objective forever and are deceptively durable. Fanatics are murder machines, and squigs of the Bounderz variety hit like a train on the charge. Loonboss on ManglerSquig is a lawnmower especially with fight again another day. If your opponent doesn't know what's coming, they will be facing a gimmick faction that has a lot hidden underneath the hood. However, they are cowards and rely a bit on random number generators, so sometimes things will go out of your control
I felt that Marine scream in the point blank primer segment in my soul
Started with Necrons, but my Nid collection has become my favorite army for sure. Bugs for life.
If you want to paint white nice and smooth you should prime grey and then use makeup sponges to apply a bright grey and then highlight with white. A nice wash with grey can also push details into larger smooth surfaces.
The scream point-blank spraying is gold.
I'd be fine with MUF becoming an Arts n' Crafts channel tbh
I work in a store that sells a lot of Warhammer 40k stuff and paints and its intersting to see it actually be used by someone soo thats what all the stuff is for
I was just rewatching his WH content. Thanks for continuing this Matt, I’m starting to get palpitations in the left side of my jaw.
I love painting! Started about 3ish-4 years ago?? Got the dark imperium box set and started on the death guards.
I’ve learned, I hate them lol 😂
So now my new necron army is coming in the mail tomorrow and I’m getting started on them!
Here’s a helpful guide I’ve learned for glow effects. Whatever you want to glow, use grey and white as the base colors and then go over them in whatever color you want to glow. Then, add the same color but dry brush in a circular motion to add a ring glow effect. Finally edge highlight or add back white + whatever color you’re highlighting and bam. Glowing eyes, orbs, guns, vents, organs, you name it!
Mainly going for a terminator look so here is my step by step process.
1). Base the minis first. Going for an asphalt/ruined city vibe (opening of T1)
2). Base in black and then dry brush with a makeup brush leadbelcher starting at the head and working my down to give authentic shadows to the body.
3). Go over in nuln oil and add in Balthazar gold in edge highlights to give a rust effect
4). Use my glowing method on the guns and eyes
5). ???
6). World domination
Almost my entire Warhammer group lost interest and quit so now my and two others are still in the hobby. It really sucks to have almost an entire group quit a hobby I love.
One really easy painting tip that a lot of people don't recognize, hit the more recessed areas of the model first. You can overflow a bit on those areas and be sloppy, and then when you go to do the areas that are more prominent and raised up next to it, you basically just need to not push your brush down to much vertically, and it won't hit the recessed areas. Doing this will get you pretty clean edges when you're changing colors.
I keep saying this, but I'm seriously super stoked you got into warhammer! And I'm really glad you're having fun. I used to play tyranids and found a lot of success using Agrax Earthshade for dirty looking shades, and Blood for the Blood God is a MUST have if you like that blood....for....you know. I'm excited to see more!
I don't have a single idea about warhammer but seeing Matt just enjoying painting made this video so relaxing. Keep enjoying your shit Matt.
“I don’t normally use nuln oil” what the fuck, this is a 40K speed painting video.... nuln oil is like a godsend
I don't play warhammer, i don't really like to paint, but listening to you talk about the things that make you happy for 16 min was a blast as always.
Keep it up Matt!
Just love to see you having fun with things that are not just LoL, AMAZING!
Speaking as someone who paints semi professionally, I think they look pretty decent! Especially for assembly line speedpaints!
Just finished 12 hours of painting 20 necron warriors for my friend, I is ded
Necrons are cool though, what color scheme did you use?
I don't really know much about Warhammer and feel like its too expensive but I enjoy seeing Matt having fun with it, I imagine its like that for a lot of people, which is nice, to have a hobby that keeps you busy
This was super interesting to watch, especially as an art student. Love seeing where your content is going!
I love Matt's vision on how to paint the models. Like super minimalistic but still somehow they look good.
I had a VERY similar idea for my nids. I used a teal for the carapace, a white for the bone, and a purple for the flesh. I ended up scrapping the design for something a bit more universal because it bothered me to high heaven when I was playing with a snowy army on a desert or a cityscape. Also doesnt help that I am the only person in my group with a snow gaming mat. Not saying you should change. Just wanted to give my experience with the scheme and army :p
Thing to remember about forge world is that the kits they produce are for veteran hobbyists, they're high maintenance but it's the sort of stuff most experienced hobbyists are used to from other brands and model kits. FW resin is actually pretty good, but all resin kits can tend to be hit or miss. Also the synthetic vs natural brush debate has been going on for ages, but typically I think you'll find for the most part your brushes getting destroyed isn't because they're cheap synthetics, it's because you're not taking good care of them, even if you think you are. Doing a lot of stuff like stippling or drybrushing will kill a brush no matter how expensive it is or even if you use brush soap or conditioner. Personally I've been going on fine with a wargamer: regiment and a wargamer: character brush from the army painter, along with some davinci brush soap. It's easy to fall down the hobby hole of thinking that the best stuff is always what's the most expensive, but for the most part it's not always the case. Midwinter minis put out a good video today on how you can restore synthetic brushes really easily, or modify them to use as something else if they're too far gone.
Always enjoyed painting more than assembly. When you finally finish a miniature it feels like it has it's full character on display.
Its nice to watch a 40k painting vid, and actually feel better about my painting skills after.
But, your Tyranids turned out really cool, nice work!
Hey man, love your addiction to 40k!
Just wanted to say, don't eirry too mich about brushes, I paint thousands of points a year, and I exclusively use cheap synthetic brushes except for eye dots and very fine details. Buy them in bulk and find other uses for them once they are roughed up.
If you need a long-lasting podcast for those painting sessions and are interested in learning something along the way, give the history of rome a try, I enjoyed it very much :)
Ayyyy i fucking love the rising interest in warhammer and painting that I’m seeing recently both from you, Bricky and some of my pals. Good shit
is it strange that I find the lore, commitment and artistic expression completely riveting and have NO desire at all to do it myself?
Ive been watching Dameki paint his DG army I love this content thank you so much
Good job painting man. Contrasts paints makes painting so much easier. Can't wait to see your skills get better with each new project
Thanks for doing this. Started getting into 40k because of you. Started watching all the beautiful painters and feeling down as I could not get close. But you reminded me that it is okay to be getting better it is okay to paint minis that look good but are not going to win some sort of competition. Other CZcamsrs say it but you did it so thank you! I still need to finish my army up but now I am going to feel better about having an army that looks good at 5 feet and looks okay up close. I want to be clear you did a good job with these models and I genuinely thank you!
Just got in my first small set in after your videos and Brickys. It's a little overwhelming at first but both of you make getting into the hobby a lot easier thank you for the good content!
You are doing much more than 90% of collectors lol. Good paint job Matt. Please keep the 40k content coming!
As someone who hasn't played WARHAMMER 40K these look dope as shit, way better than whatever I would do. You're on your way to being the Bob Ross of painting armies.
So i've been painting D&D miniature for roughly 3 years now, mostly self taught. By now, i am an okay painter. What i enjoy is the tranquility of the project. Depending on the model, i take 1-3 hours to paint them to my best ability. I have an okay set of brushes and paints, but not even close to complete. More expensive stuff like airbrushes are still out of reach though.
In the same boat, best wishes on your journey
Bro, your models look amazing. Like no joke, low key they look really good.
I love that you flashed pazuzu, you a truley cultured. I hope more people do that. Also i been waiting for this video for ten trillion years.
That’s was a lot of fun to watch! I’ve always wanted to get into mini painting!
Matt That color scheme is amazing and i love it!! I never thought of just using a sold color for the carapis
I began painting Marvel Crisis Protocol, Got in a lot of paint tips from Sorastro's painting and enjoyed it so far.
2:45 "Compare your paint job to my shitty paint job"
Bruh your painting is on point.
I want Matt to become a god at art and be able to paint insanely detailed and cool models
best tip ive learned from painting is the "fuck it" rule. dont worry about perfection. just say fuck it move on and fix it later if it still bugs you. saves so much time.
also matt i love the snow. looks great
*slams hand on desk*
NOW THIS IS THE CONTENT I SIGNED UP FOR. MORE.
It really warms my heart to see videos where you're doing something you feel passionate about ☺️
Great to see an actual intermediate paint job! The advanced painters on this platform always say not to compare against them and just keep practicing, but it's hard not to get a bit discouraged a times. I recently joined the Goobertown Hobbies discord and it was encouraging to see that I was on the same level as other hobbyists and even better than some! Love your 40k content!
Good work Matt, I like the look, you're a decent painter :)
Thanks for the content!
11:00 Ah yes, the classic "The dog ate my homework" excuse
My dude, my old podcast buddies used to run an event called "Army in a Weekend" where we started with bare plastic on Friday night and by Sunday we had completely painted 2000 point armies. Caffeine was our friend, and it's very doable. Glad to see you still playing man, 9th is wonderful so far. I'm working on my Dark Angels right now, my primaris company is getting closer to done. After that, only 3 more companies to go. lol Keep after it! Contrast is your friend. :)
I seriously want Warhammer content to become a regular thing on the channel. It gives me an HGTV-vibe of, the journey being the most enjoyable part of everything.
Love seeing ya do Warhammer content. Its obvious you really enjoy it and its a pleasure to see. Harlequins are so hard to play though ya mad man!!!
Netflix:are you still watching?
Somebody's daughter: 5:53
Ok but when are you going to paint an entire Apacolypse army
I have a problem with painting. I love doing it, but I am veeeery novice still. But it didn't stop me from looking up amazing paint jobs and trying to be just as good. This results in painting a single model for over 8h at a time just to have them look decent. And now something that I hoped will help me relax, kinda stresses me out...
Hey matt, idc about your warhammer stuff but 20 min is actually watchable, thank you
Im watching this completely btw
I love painting. Me and a buddy went halves on an elite starter set, the paint bundle for both factions and some black primer. I've been painting Dnd minis for a year+ and was alsoways scared of WH40K cause the models are awesome and I don't think I'm all that good. We built them and I had to teach my friend how to paint. We are about half way done and every model we have completed has come out amazing. I will be putting them on my insta and the discord when we are finished with them!
The nids look great man! I would totally recommend citadel painting handles they're stupidly helpful especially when you're trying to angle brushes in weird ways.
I've been using them to paint crons and nids lately
I committed to a challenge to build and paint 100 figures by the of the year, from 1 Know No Fear boxes, 2 Dark Imperium boxes, Primaris Vanguard box, 10 incursers, and figures from a land speeder storm, and about 12 SM characters, lord Feltihus and the tainted cohort. I don’t feel overwhelmed, staying organized and focused are my challenges. Having limited time per week is my biggest challenge if I’m lucky I can maybe squeeze 12-15hrs a week. So I can understand what you went through in a week. To date 45 are built and primed, I’m saving the characters for last. Didn’t know about rinsing finecast resin models, thanks for that. I’ve only been building 40k since January after a long layoff from building models. Keep up the good work.
Ok first, i have half my main army (Dark Angels Primaris)mostly just basecoated at the moment, my secondary army (Death Guard) is still waiting for their primer coat and i already ordered the indomitus box and the command starter edition (so more Dark Angels and army No.3 (Necrons) incoming) so yeah... seeing someone to do a "paint your entire army in a week" is kinda the stuff i need right now... MOTIVATE ME!
Second: No matter how good/bad you think you paint, a painted army looks way better than gray/grey unpainted soliders (if your paintscheme is gray/grey, at least put some highlights/color/metallic or sth, don't leave them gray/grey)
Third: Army Painter Colors are also a nice alternative to Vallejo^^
No idea how you did it, but this was satisfying to listen/watch while doing other things...
Nice work.
I recently bought my first Army (Chaos Space Marines around 1000 Points i think) and just got done building them so im going to paint them in a few weeks as well. Think this will be fun.
Ahhh yess, snowy bases paired with any kind of blue feels just righttt! Great job really
The retributor rattle can is so expensive because the paint actually contains a small amount of gold!!!
Watching you prime that mini with the can so close killed a little bit of my soul
Props for painting army in a week. I'm few years into the hobby and only army fully painted that I have is for Age of Sigmar. My Space Wolves are in different stages of grey plastic, basecoat and full paintjob. Props for Vallejo paints, I like them. GW's has nice colors, but they need to be transfered to dropper bottles. Will definitely visit your twitch channel and watch some batreps! Nice to see you all enjoying hobby! Have fun and produce biomass!
Wow, I really should continue painting my Zombicide miniatures.
They look awesome Matt
Imagine my shock when Magikarp starts talking and not Goobertown
I used to watch this channel for the League content but I eventually stopped playing it and this channel stopped showing up in my recommended. I’ve been playing 40K for an even longer time though and didn’t know you did too! Glad to be back on the channel! *squish*
"fuck forge world"
Me, an aspiring Kreig boii. *sad gasmask noises*
Quick tips for better painting:
Lighting. Get yourself some hella lights or paint outside in the sun or next to a window. Natural lighting gives you a good idea of how it'll look on the table
Wash your stuff. Mould release is on things and ya should wash them before even priming. Sometimes even on the plastic models..
Thin coats. Take your time and don't slop paint on, this obscures detail if you just lay down the paint out of the tub for the most part. Naturally thinning paint (Water usually works fine. Don't need expensive thinners)
Washes are liquid skill. They're great and you should get at least two, a black and a brown.
When sealing, you can use gloss clearcoat for strength, then a matte to back off the gloss so you have the strength of the gloss clearcoat (Since it tends to be stronger), but none of the gloss.
im glad you showed the upclose sprayprimer mini execution
Love this man! I did a 24 hour challenge and it basically killed me haha. Love the set up and broll here. Nice channel.
I love painting! I just finished my first models of Space Marines and I am currently working on some Necrons!
Oh Matt, Harlequins are a ROUGH army to paint. That checkerboard pattern made me want to pull my hair out. You did a great job on those Nids though, really really good man 👍
I love the choice of Settlement in the Red Bluffs as the background music
Hey Matt, I've been painting for 20 years. You're doing great! Don't worry about "how good you are", being fully painted is a huge step
Tip: never use a pure white, use an off white (just looks better). use a bluish of white for cold tones and a yellowish white for warm tones. If you spray pure white, use very diluted nuln oil (or white contrast paint) to wash it to make it grayish.
leaving pure white on a model just looks weird... great video.
