Sweet wee video man .. I've had a pretty busy day today and had just sat down at my desk and pondered NOT doing my "Hour a night" hobby tonight but saw this video had landed so contrasted up a couple of horses myself while I watched it... So thanks for that ha ha, but also I've never tried the mud over the Grass to give it that "cut up" look, I'm definitely trying that out... well now I'm here
I might as well finish the rest of these buggers now....
cheers
Ian
Haha thats wicked, hope it went well 👍
Great painting tutorial and very nice looking cavalry. Just masscharge your opponent of the table when gaming. I need to get me some of that Gorila glue. 👍🐴
Thats the plan 😁 the gorilla glie works well as it expands as it dries so it creates a bit of build up on the base to cover the pudding bases 👍
Very nice
Cheers 👍😁
Good painting tutorial.
Thanks very much 👍
Very cool Martin. I just finished 12 horses myself today for the Brunswick Uhlans. Took me 2, 4 hour sessions to fully complete the 12.
Thanks bid glad you enjoyed it 👍
Good work and advice there Martin 👍🏻😊
Cheers mate 👍
Smashing work, all the best Garry
Cheers mate 👍
Excellent tutorial Martin!
(Edited to remove copy error)
Haha cheers dude 😁 sorted 👍
Great stuff Martin!
Cheers buddy 👍
Nice video
Thanks very much 👍
Very inspiring paint guide! Recently picked up Warhammer English Civil War off of ebay and been mulling over how to paint up some forces quickly.
Thanks very much, glad you found it useful 😁
Awesome results. I know your mates are blaming you for their diving into this era, but you own this era with this quality. Well done.
Really appreciate that mate, thanks 👍
lovely work martin ,stunning m8
Appreciate it mate, thanks 😁
Great work! Love the basing technique 👍🏻🤩👍🏻
Thanks, basing is definitely one of my favourite parts 👍
Many thanks, you really are the master of Contrast paints.
Really appreciate that mate thank you 😁👍
@@7thson726 Thank you too, take care
Very nice indeed using contrast for horses is a winner every time I really like the mud effect must get some. Take care Martin .
Thanks, definitely agree, cheers mate 👍
⭐ I always really enjoy your videos as your filming and presentation is always informative and inspirational…very nice touch of the churned up ground behind the horses - I enjoy painting but get too caught up in details to produce meaningful numbers however it’s great seeing how people like yourself go about it ⭐ 👍
Really appreciate that thanks, I love doing the churned up mud, it's hardly noticeable on the table but I like to think it's one of those little details that you would miss if it wasn't there 😁
Complete master class right there.
Thanks buddy 😁👍
Inspiring stuff. Many thanks. I have a load of covenanters to do including cav and will give contrast paints a go.
Thanks mate, let me know how they go 👍
Really nice tutorial Marin. Quick yet very effective! Something I need to adopt more of haha. I'm sure it really helps with getting models on the table quicker. Thanks for sharing!
Haha it definitely speeds things up a bit, cheers for watching 👍😁
Nice done paintjob, looks great. Maybe I should get myself some contrast paints.
Cheers mate, glad you enjoyed it 👍
This is the video that sent me to the shop for Gore Grunta Contrast, great tip for horses
Haha im glad you found it helpful 👍
Fantastic tutorial as always Martin👍 I really like the way you base your models and I like the yellow colour you used for the buff coat might get some myself
Thanks bud, glad you enjoyed it 👍😁
Beautiful
Thanks very much 👍
Great video Martin, love the bases too.
Glad you enjoyed it mate, basing is still one of the best parts 👍
Awesome work Sir!
Thanks very much 😁
Great video! First time I've seen your stuff and I quite like it! I appreciate how effective yet straightforward your approach was - definitely a lot for me to learn there. I've also never considered using contrast paints like you have (usually using it exclusively as a definition-adding wash) so I'll have to give that a try.
Welcome, thanks very much, appreciate it, i try to use them. To compliment the paints i already have 👍
Nice job 👍
I really like the Warlord Games ECW plastics, I've also recently started to try out contrast paints. Not sure if I'll be using them regularly but they do give a nice effect, like your figures.
Cheers, they work as another tool to be used alongside everything else 👍
Looks great
Thanks very much 👍😁
They look really good and easy to do. I tried when you done your war of the roses archers. Still look like I've used a roller 😂😂
Cheers mate, i try to make them as straightforward as i can, mainly for my sake ao i can remember how to do them 😅
I like the way you used the contrast paints. I use 3 types but never on a whole model. I need to get back to painting. Working on terrain . Nice work 7
Cheers bud, what terrain you working on?
@@7thson726 Finished my scaled down version of the Hougoumont. I made it in 2 parts so it fits in its own storage box. Using 25mm Minifigs.
Nice one mate. Very good little tutorial. 😁👍
Thanks buddy 😁
Fantastic tutorial Martin!
Cheers Warren 👍
Spend $500+ to get a good collection of paints only to have to spend $? on contrast paints. Were I just starting out in the hobby I would get all the contrast paints first then add other varieties as needed. My armies could be so much bigger by now..... Sweet looking cavalry unit there!
Appreciate it mate thanks 👍
Very nice. 👍
Cheers 👍
Hi, Martin , your videos , especially the war of the roses have spurred Meon to get back into historical wargaming. Current project, brought , but not assembled, is an E.C.W. army , Pike and starter box , Battaglia expansion , ordnance battery and a cavalry box , hopefully based on the Royalist army operating out of Ashby de la Zouch, but struggling to find regimental colours
Hello mate, that's great to hear. That is a decent sized start for sure. The colours can be hard to find, ive uses this website quite a bit www.wiki.bcw-project.org/ 👍
Lovely work. I am getting tempted by the period but have too many other plates in the air right now!
I know the feeling, those projects keep piling up 😁
Great video, new subscriber 👍
Really appreciated thank you, welcome aboard 👍
They look a lot better in your video than on warlord website.
Haha thanks bud 👍😁
To be honest .not a fan of warlord game.but must admit that you have done a fantastic job on the cavalry figures.might even be tempted to buy a box of Swedish cavalry for my 30 years war Swedish army.
Thanks mate, glad you liked it, they would look great in a Swedish army, very multi purpose 👍
You make that look worryingly easy...
Haha it has to be or I'll forget how to do each one 😁
Don't have much to say other than thanks for another awesome video 😀
Edit: Turns out I have a lot to say, I always though the Parliamentarians introduced the red with the new model army, was red the colour of royalists forces and parliamentarians for a time or did the two never overlap. Or am I just wrong about the new model thing in the first place?
Edit: Okay, since I'm going over the top with the questions anyway, you mentioned that you made some of those nice grass tufts in your basing Wellington video, how did you do that, they looked very professional.
Thanks buddy, sorry for the slow reply, glad ylu enjoyed it. You're spot on, the Royalists identified themselves with a red sash and the parliamentarians an orange one. Lots of the regiments on both sides still had red coats, seems to have been the most popular colour (probably the cheapest as well)
To make the tufts i pop a blog of flexible pva on some grease proof paper and then us my static grass applicator over them 3 or 4 times, let it dry and you're good to go 👍
@@7thson726 Thanks, it seems so simple!
@@7thson726 Yes you are correct about the red cloth that both sides used…it was produced using madder and was apparently the cheapest dyed cloth available (along with blue) hence both sides having lots of red coats…dark blue and black particularly were the most expensive colours to produce…..the cheapness and ready availability of red cloth may also be why regiments are noted to have changed colour to red when original coats wore out
Well done and inspiring. I've been experimenting with Contrast paints for skeletons, but have gone for precolored Paperboys for ECW. Does make me want to try again, though. The extra highlights are a bonus, they look great with the Contrast alone!
Where did the unit base come from?
Thanks very much 👍 i have looked at paperboys for other periods
The bases are from bigredbatshop.co.uk/collections/all
Great video! I'll use it as a guide as I'm struggling at the moment with my mounted Samurais. Just a question...which set of brushes are you using?
Hi there, so in this video I was using Pro Are brushes but now I tend to use Artis Opus. Really pleased you enjoyed it 👍
Lovely work and guide for these guys Martin. Which contrast paint would you say works best for French Napoleonic packs?
I used gore grunta fur, that came up really well 👍
Nice job, good to see the benefits of Contrast paint in action. Do you find mat varnish is enough on metal? I have been doing gloss first and then mat, simply because someone said gloss is stronger, but I don’t know how true that is.
Cheers, to be honest I've always found one coat of matt is enough 👍
I hope you do not mind if I mention that there are some flash lines at 10:40.
Haha nah no problem. I try to remove as many as i can but a few slip through 👍
For beginners would you recommend me investing in contrast paints or start with regular paints ?
Hi there 👍 thanks for commenting. For beginners I would personally go for regular painta but i would certainly suggest a couple of contrast paints which are must haves for me. Gore Grunta Fur annd Guillieman Flesh are great colours .
Army painter are also bringing out their speed paints later this year which may be worth looking at 👍 hope this helps
@@7thson726 gent thank you, enjoying the process and even in the last few weeks noticing the improvement ... still taking my time but enjoying it ....
Where did you get the "cockold" flag?
They are from GMB Designs gmbdesigns.com/
@@7thson726 thank you
