Turned out fantastic. Krieg and Steel Legion have always been my favorite guard. I used your steel legion to paint my Krieg for the new Kill Team. Their standard blue-grey look is nice and all, but the steel legion look, to me anyway, gives them and extra apocalyptic feel.
Ha! Wouldn't be the first time I've been called a bad influence, I suppose... ;D At least there's still licensed printers out there if you need any in the meantime, though a printer is a neat long-term toy.
This looks stunning! Fantastic work. Really shows how much you make happen with brilliant execution and straightforward techniques. Inspirational, mate.
As always a great looking model. I've tried a few of these techniques a few times now and I'm happy to say your videos have helped alot in the helping get more efficient. Keep up the great work!
Fantastic job! Love this mini! Nice and fun editing too. If I may suggest... I would like to watch one day a video of you talking about how do you choose to use one colour versus another of the same "base", Black Grey VS German Grey for instance (I thought that you were using the later), they look very similar to me but I guess that it (maybe?) does make a difference.
Once again a lovely paint job. Learned so many ideas from watching your painting videos. My one grip and this is probably coming from a historical miniature painter, is no other weapon for the figure other then a lance. Either a side arm or since he has a motorbike, why not a rifle in a scabbard attached to the bike. Just think it would make the model even more interesting. Just look at how they were carried in WWI or WWII by motorcycle riders.
There's actually a couple of pistol holsters and a massive rifle holster included in the STL pack; I opted not to include it on the miniature mostly since it's already quite busy visually, but you're totally right. I think for my own army I'd put more gear on them!
@@SonicSledgehammerStudio Was wondering if it was just to make the painting a little easier and less busy like you said. Doesn't distracted from the painting at all that way. Next time I will just sit back and enjoy the painting.
Great stuff as always. I did, however, notice on this and your comparison video there's a faint discord notification sound popping up once in a while. Had me a little confused for a second.
They've got a few licensed printers around the world which will sell these in physical form. I didn't find a simple list of them anywhere, but you could contact them with where you are and they should be able to point you in the right direction.
I wish there was an affordable hard plastic kit for motorcycles, alternative to taking from the GW Genestealer Cult biker kit. The only one I've ever found is from Warlord, who produce a kit of a biker gang. But it's mainly an "infantry" kit, with a few bikes per set. Not the worst way to acquire bikes for Rough Riders, but not great either.
Nope. I thought I'd mentioned in the video I was sticking to the old stuff, but I might have snipped that. All the comparisons of the new shades with the old look like they perform differently to what I've got, so I'll use my reserves and then swap to Strong Tone. The same price on a pot for 25% less is a bit bloody cheeky.
@@SonicSledgehammerStudio I paint along with your videos pretty often. It’s nice to have a Bob Ross for my miniature painting. However, the new aggrax and nuln formulas are (in my opinion) just plain bad. So….. here’s my thought, what if we figured out a mixture that was available to everyone that worked as similarly as possible? Sort of like “marine wash” I made that upon your recommendation and love it! So what if the new aggrax could be mixed with a few other drops and drizzles and made into a similarly magical concoction? Caaaaaause I don’t like strong tone for similar reasons to why I don’t like the new aggrax. The medium is similar I think
Out of curiosity did you use pre supported files or did you make your own? I've been having issues getting Station Forge's models to print properly, though I do have a Mono X
I've always used the pre-supported files without trouble, though I do have a crazy low lift speed for the first 2mm distance on each layer. My lift is only 25mm/s so it takes its time and doesn't yank anything free, it's great for high detail and low exposure times.
@@SonicSledgehammerStudio Thanks! I'll have to give that a try, I normally don't have issues with presupported files but with how many layers Station Forge uses I tend to have a lot of "mid print" failure, like legs not printing fully etc. I'll have to try shortening the lift time.

Just outstanding work! The figure is very interesting but the painting really makes the model. Thanks for sharing this.
Your videos are the best advertisement for me getting a 3D printer. I've got to get these minis.

Thank you , Troy .

This is awesome! I was actually using your steel legion guide to paint StationForge's grimguard infantry before
Love this mini!

Simple stuff works!
@@SonicSledgehammerStudio When you do it as well as you do!
Anybody else subconsciously reach for your wallet to go get the same STL? Maybe even think you could paint it this nice as well?
Great use of the Talasar Blue, makes a smooth and interesting lamp
It's great stuff! I've been finding all sorts of things to do with it recently, it's just a super pleasant shade of blue.
Awww I love it my grandfather was a motorcycle cop .
As always a great looking model. I've tried a few of these techniques a few times now and I'm happy to say your videos have helped alot in the helping get more efficient. Keep up the great work!
Glad to hear it!
Very nice bike!

Also big fan of not messing around with tinged green/ black helmets on Steel Legion.

@@dougredshirt3991 No no, it's all good! I like to hear what people are thinking. ;D It also doesn't hurt if you're right!

Whoops! I thought I had that muted. Something to remember for next time. 😅
You had me at Armageddon.
I've had my eyes on the Helga on Wheels model from Privateer Press lately and this is nudging me in the direction to actually take the plunge
Bikes aren't nearly as much work as you'd think. I find them way simpler than horses!
Wow great vid as always, and what an amazing mini. It’s a shame they don’t offer printing services as I would love to paint this model!

Pretty swish alright
Are you using the new aggrax ? If not, have you tried it and what are your thoughts?
