Due to the lack of disposable income right now I've been rescuing mini's from my awful painting style in the early 90's, there's a marked improvement which I'm attributing to watching your channel.
6 pints of blood and a couple ounces of semen (donated at proper facilities, ya cant just go asking people on the street) would land you enough dough to get into 3d printing then you can have all the new minis to your hearts content.
@jc7997aj make sure it's your own blood donated over an extended time-frame. Those plasma clinic people are a bunch of narcs! You'd think they'd appreciate a 7 gallon donation!
@@jc7997ajot always true. Going out on the street asking to donate is how I met my ex.
@@fenreer01 🤣😂
@@fenreer01 To true. I to have also found they don't appreciate prepackaged donations.
This honestly helps. Giving permission to just paint a thing, and for it not to be a Golden Demon award winner is a thing I sometimes just need to hear.
I know exactly what you mean. The videos that result in awesomely painted miniatures are a great inspiration but they don't help when all you want to do is just relax and paint a bit.

Last mini I painted was 1,5 months ago. I’m really itching to get painting again. And your point on just enjoying the journey really hits the spot.
I've watched many painting videos before but for whatever reason this one really resonates with me. Very cool technique of color shading and then hitting the highlights. And the tip of how many layers to apply and where is very informative. My last model painted was last night.
I took a two year break from painting due to my anxiety and fear of failure around painting mini's but I just recently started painting again last week. Watching videos like this can be helpful but I need to accept that I'm still new to the hobby and I'm obviously going to make a ton of mistakes as I learn.
Thanks for the video.
all those mistakes are actually new techniques for your tool box. sounds facetious but it's true. Another tip is to paint your favourite mini's, don't wait until you're "good" enough. Just do it because you like the sculpt. Good luck with your anxiety, I know it can be paralysing.
To quote the greatest painter of all time “There are no mistakes just happy accidents.”
I used to paint minis with the exact same attitude. What helped me was playing around with low stake figures. I could learn how to paint and not ruin them. The only goal was fun. When I went back to the more expensive amazingly sculpts the anxiety of messing up was gone. Learning is part of the fun but we ruin it by unrealistic expectations. Midwinter minis video where he just decide to paint up his precious space hulk figures started the process for me. Who cares if you paint them the wrong shade of red. Ha ha. It’s just for enjoyment
@@carlstanford7607 exactly this too. Bunch 4-6 minis, maybe with some variety in the sculpts, but racing through the same or similar colour schemes can get your mojo fired up. Never underestimate an oil wash and wipe afterwards too, especially on figures you care less for.
Of all the mini painters I watch on CZcams, you are probably my favourite. I really like your perspective of improving your skills, getting good looking models, but not sweating the small stuff nobody pays attention to anyway. 13 days since I painted a mini. Got a bit burnt out painting, so have been building terrain. I find it a good way to recharge when I get bored of painting minis.
I’m very happy to say that it’s only a few days since I last painted. I’ve been working on some Wood Elves for MESBG and thanks to the weather being dreadful on the weekend my wife and I got to sit at the kitchen table and hobby instead of being outside doing all the work on the house we should have been doing. Thanks for the videos, John. I really enjoy your take on this hobby. Cheers.
I have been chipping away at a centerpiece model for the last few months, I was just working on it last night. All of these channels really get my painting energy flowing so thanks for the encouragement!
My last mini painted was a few days ago! Honestly, your videos and your attitude is what got me back in to mini painting the past few months. I was too scared to get started because i wasn't going to be good at it, but your attitude of "just paint a mini" no matter how good or bad it is, just to get the time in and enjoy the process, is what pushed me to actually start and keep on going. thank you so so much for pushing me to do it
This style you picked up, sharing from the last one you painted the Ninja rabbit, is really neat. Going for shades and then lightning up and adding color as you go. Keeps the model cohesive and not as much lost time picking base colors. Well done!
I painted my last Mini about 36 years ago (Battletech) 😂 I just bought a SLA-Printer and now I’ve got tons of printed stuff … that looks really cool, but definitely will look cooler painted.
I really have to admit, you‘ve got a way to motivate people to try painting on their own 👍
… and if it will come out awful, at least now I‘ve got one to blame on 😜😂
I’m painting right now! Always love to have your videos on during a painting session, it’s such good fun to relax and learn at the same time!
Every one of my models gets a new technique or combination of techniques. Whether its paints, brushes, airbrush style, or basing. You're an inspiration friend.
I do this too. Unfortunately, it drives me mad when I do it with squads/units because I always know what technique goes with which mini. No one else does...but I do. It's my annoying problem.
@@auxlen it takes forever but it does make for some good-looking minis
I haven’t painted in over 2 years. I currently live vicariously through you and my other rust belt bois, miniac, samlenz, uncle atom, and I thank you all dearly for it. 💛
I was actually painting last night, just started my first model from the leviathan boxset. I came to your videos for inspiration as they all usually have some snippet of information that I can take moving forward and help me grow as a painter. Thanks for doing your videos the way you do them. Helps me immensely.
Last mini I finished was 3 weeks ago. I paint for fun but only have time in some weekends so sometimes they are standing there waiting on the table for weeks. Love your channel and motivational speeches! Thanks!
Your 45 minute miniatures end up way better than my 4 hour minis. Haha! But that's a big part of why I love your videos. They inspire me to keep painting because with enough practice, I know I can eventually have a great looking miniature painted in less than an hour. Thanks for all the tips!
Your opinion is not the only one. Waiting eagerly for Darryl to paint his way and commentate a whole video.
which channel is Darryl hosting?
@@naphaneal Hopefully Jon can hold the camera for him just as well.
Daryl needs a confederate themed imperal guard army.
He never said it was?
I finished my last mini earlier today. Trying to finish up an old project of beautiful but highly detailed minis :). Thank you John for producing such wonderfully inspiring content
Painted my last mini yesterday. I have been painting semi-daily for a half year now. Love the content! Keep it up!
Loving your content at the moment Ninjon! You get me inspired to try new techniques, and then I realise how talented you are when I try and fail to replicate it 😂
You make it look so easy!
I really feel I've fallen into that hole where I just speedpaint armies while watching series and not enjoy the painting part of it. I really focus a lot on painting every little piece and avoid any overlaps. I'll try to do the contrast paint shadowing on the next models- I actually never used contrast or speedpaints on black primed models before.
Just finished my first zenithal prime on a test model with my first ever airbrush. Got a D&D character I've been working on this week as well. As others have said, I very much appreciate your approach to painting that focuses on your enjoyment of the hobby. Thanks for sharing with us!
Painted just a day ago and assembled a few hours ago. Great vid, and I couldnt agree more. I am still enjoying and interested in painting because I am taking my time with it. I have fairly sizable batches of minis, but I really take the time and enjoy the details on the mini, and try to make each one unique and quirky! It helps a lot, and im glad to see you spread this message!
As a printer and seller of resin miniatures I've been too busy feeding other people's hobbies and haven't got around to painting in months. I get to watch folks like you paint on youtube while I'm sitting here sanding down support marks and painstakingly swathing fragile grey resin in tissue paper in the hope that someone else will breathe life into it. Man that's depressing 😣 Y'know what I'm gonna go hit the switch on my compressor, change that manky paintwater sitting on my desk and paint...something....right now! 😄
See now with the title of this video and the intro I couldn’t disagree more. I always struggled with painting but the contrast paint line really revitalized my interest in painting. I love how the contrast paints flow and blend and get great enjoyment out of the process. My end results look stunning too.
I had some instructors that are into painting minis too and their hours vary widely. Contrast paints let them crush a few models in an hour here and there and yield great results.
I like putting down one darker contrast colour as a base then dry brushing in one or two highlights. Models look great in no time!
I think the title is just meant to be inflammatory to get clicks. The final message seems to be find a way of painting that makes you satisfied and stick with it so that you get your models done and enjoy painting. It sounds like you've found something like that with contrast paint and that's fantastic!
Painted my last mini and finished it, a moth ago or so... thank for your videos and encouragement! 😁😁🙌🙌
years since I've painted one... and I learn a lot here, so thanks for the videos and being there
Last time I put some paint on a mini was two days ago. Thank you very much for these tips and a really humble, but very important motivational speech for all of us hobbists! Always a pleasure listening to you while building or painting a miniature!!
I continued work on my Votaan last night! Thanks for the constant inspiration, Slay the Grey!
Just painted my last one last weekend for Father’s Day with my 7 year old. He was able to paint his own mini and he has done nothing on CZcams but watch your videos. Thank you for making these videos from both of us!!
I really needed this video. The candid takes and desire to have a good quality paint job in a reasonable amount of time just resonate with how I paint. To answer the question I just batch painted some assault intercessors a few days ago. I even tried a brighter blue to see if I would like it.
I love your attitude and outlook, it's really fresh and I feel like I'm thinking about things differently already!
I always enjoy watching your channel, being very new to this hobby the most important mindset for me is with a cup of coffee grabbing a mini and visualizing the colors I will use. As for my last mini being painted the actual truth is I just finished putting primer on it and I stopped to watch your video. Tomorrow I will hit it again. Great video btw and thanks for sharing.
Got a couple units primed up last night, going to start in on them tonight. Thanks for sharing the process bro...
It's been a while since I painted a mini. Maybe 2 years? My work became all consuming a bit ago and I want to kit back down with some paint and relax, but it's hard to do. Love these videos - they really help inspire me. I've got a box of Tau Pathfinders that I've been slowly assembling, and trying to figure out my paint scheme, and I love watching your work.
Last week I broke out the paints and painted a lich. I have only been painting a little over a year, and I really don't have as much time to give to it as I would like to get better. But I try to check your channel every week, because your videos are always informative and enjoyable!
It has been 3 days since I painted my latest miniature, but is the first one I have painted in 30years. For some reason I stopped painted in college and now I'm at a poi t in my life where I can paint again. Thanks for the videos , so much has changed I'm glad you are here to help me catch up.
I'm actually in the middle of working on my own Gloomhaven minis. We are starting with the Jaws of the Lion set. I just put the last couple touches of paint on those models in the last hour. I am also finishing the bases for my Komando Kill Team while watching your present gloriousness.
currently painting a ruined impulsar. I've been pretty much painting daily recently. thanks to yourself and other youtubers. Been motivated to improve and finish my grey pile. thank you for the awesome content.
It's been about a year since I painted a miniature; being a dad has been taking up my free time. I really enjoy you videos and it keeps me excited for when I can jump back in.
It’s been about 3+ months since my last paint round. Thank you ninjon for the inspiration!
My last mini is on my desk right now half way done. I've been stalling on painting for a long time and recently got back into it. Feels good to put some colour on all these models I've been assembling.
It has been two years (maybe 2.5) since I've last actually painted a mini. I have thrown some colors on some army men to see if I wanted to use those colors for an army, but I haven't *painted* in a while.
This has helped, definitely. It has gotten me to relax about getting back into it again and realizing that I don't have to put in *so* much time of effort each time I pull out my paints. thanks!
I painted my last mini about 30 minutes ago. Thanks for the contrast paint shadowing idea.
Jon you're one of my favorite Minnesotans. This video was so intriguing and kind of broke my brain when it comes to shadows and color theory. Every one of those speed painted minis came out beautifully.
To answer your question, I had taken a year off from painting due to some severe depression, and just got back into the hobby. Your channel, scotts, and You two on TUP together reignited that passion 10 fold and has helped me out of that slump and made me a more positive person. I've completed 4 models in the last month alone.
I have a friend visiting for a week. Our jobs have kept us super busy, and moving has kept me busy too. BUT! I got the craft/ painting room set up before they came down, and we crushed out a few minis two days ago.
My issue was being ok with leaving areas in painted or focusing on those unseen parts less. We both managed to do just that and the models turned out better than a lot of what I've painted so far, and it was relaxing to boot. Looking forward to bringing out the brush again this week!
I really love this style of painting, and because of content like this (I also find murray from table top time really inspiring) I get more confident in not paiting/covering everything completely but just focussing on the importsnt stuf! The last mini I painteds was about 3 weeks ago (was on a holiday) and it was a darth jar jar in legion scale!
Just painted like this last night. Loved how chilled and fun it was painting with no ''mass producing'' techniques, also made the most colourful Tyranid scheme going. Helps me to bring more fun back into the hobby that can sometimes be sacrificed for time efficient styles.
Last mini I painted was right before I took a break to watch this video and I needed the message. Thank you! I'm working on Tanares Adventures right now and there are sooo many models and I can't spend forever on each one so these tips are great. I was also painting them with your signature colors - which I LOVE.
I really needed this video. Been trying to paint small armies and troops for OnePageRules's games lately, and finding the sweet spot between time and quality has been pretty tough. Definitely going to apply this to my next army. Also, I last finished a mini last month, but I do paint twice a week. It's actually the main reason I do painting streams; it helps me stay motivated and have a regular schedule.
I painted yesterday morning. I loved this video. These are some great ideas!
Ninjon is getting batter and better :) Great vid! I finished painting my last Astra Militarum about 2 weeks ago.
Great video! I haven't picked up the paints in probably a year. Life is busy! This video helped get me in the right mindset, though. Thanks!
Just wanted to commend you on your recent content. As a 'paint to play' guy I generally eschew 'high level' painting content but the creativity and variety you are bringing to your videos recently in terms of difficulty, techniques and target audience is really amazing. Oh, and I last painted a mini Thursday night on stream. I do some painting at least a couple of times a week generally to a utilitarian standard.
I like the way as you said blends better than just black. This is a very interesting painting technique!! Thank you.
Painted a week ago! Back at the table today watching your video while I do some priming!
Never painted a mini but this helps make it quite a bit more approachable! I've watched a bunch of your content and it's always great!
Painting right now! Thanks for all the motivation and inspiration, Jon!
Thank you for this awesome tip! I paint everyday in my half-hour-lunchbreak. This makes it look even cooler and its easier! Keep going!
I sometimes do not paint for weeks and then I paint a couple of days in a row. My last mini was yesterday, actually. Next is tomorrow and I am looking forward to it. Thank you for your videos mate!
I painted last weekend. Some legion Wookiees with speed paints. I am excited to try the speed paint shadows technique you shared in this video!
Coupla days, but I had a couple week drought prior. Long summer days steal my evening time.
So much of your advice is stuff I'd already kind of been doing because I have that kind of outlook. Feels good to be validated.
2 days ago I was doing touchups on my Stormcast Eternal Liberator Captain. Almost done with a group of five which is my first batch painting group I've ever done. Learning lots as I just got into Warhammer this year just after my 45th birthday. And lucky for me your channel is one of the great resources I've found for getting better and keeping this hobby fun.
Finished a Viking hut yesterday. Trying to paint more and every now and then challenge myself , thanks for another thing to try out .
Love the energy that you bring to the hobby, Jon! Thank you
I haven't painted in a couple weeks but I'm going down to the painting table tonight. I like your approach here with colors and mixing, I might have to put it into practice.
This helps a lot. I'm going to the Grand Narrative in november, I'm painting up second edition models, and I'm just in a rut with my troops. Thank you, once again, for the awesome video. You sir, rock.
I painted my last mini a couple weeks ago. I haven’t had much motivation recently and other things have occupied my time. Although I did buy a new set that I am very excited for and want to paint in this style! Thank you for the awesome content as always!
It's been a couple weeks since I've painted anything, but months since I've completed a mini. This definitely gave me a couple ideas to use on the squad I currently have half painted.
Painted yesterday. It was something that I'm looking forward to getting to the table, so it was worth spending some extra time on, but I'm looking forward to slaying some grey with this more minimal permission-giving approach. I need to knock out my Tokkaido minis, and this will be perfect!
Very inspiring video bro, love it a lot. Painted a last mini about two hours ago
Probably been about 10yrs since I lasted painted a mini. But, I loved your approach here enough to subscribe and like. Looking foward to seeing more of your videos.
my last vacation a few months ago i painted an army of orc savages that had been sitting in my closet for 5+ years. and i don't think i would of painted them without you inspiration.
Thanks.
I just finished painting the Aliens: Another Glorious Day in the Corp board game last weekend. I started painting at the beginning of 2022 and have really been enjoying the hobby. CZcams channels like yours have definitely been an inspiration. Thank you
I added some shading to some space marines earlier today, as I type this I'm building Terminators from Leviathan.
Really enjoy the videos and the hobby philosophy you promote. My biggest problem when I got back into minis during covid was that each mini wasn't always better than the last. Being able to paint just to enjoy it and get some color on the models was almost harder than learning how to properly blend.
Appreciate what you do man, keep it coming.
I painted my last mini 26 years ago. But after I bought a 3D printer and watched your videos, I'm catching fire again. The first print is ready and this weekend it's time to slay the grey again. Thank you for reviving a hobby of mine that has been dormant for a long time!
Beautiful video. I really appreciated the advice here to just paint with the advocacy to do something simple but not robotic. It's been many months since I last painted. This video is gonna change that.
About a month ago, I had a nice few hour painting session. Before that it had been several months. But last summer my hub and I had a real streak going of a few nights each week. I’m hoping to get back around to that. So many hobbies, so little time. I appreciate your inspiration though, both the faster and the more technical styles. I always learn a lot!
I haven’t started painting yet, but your videos have interested in giving it a go.
I'm painting as I watch this video. I am definitely going to try the black basing/dual color shading. My usual is a grey primer, but your last few videos have given me the incentive to try it out.
I finished up my first Ork Boyz ever a couple hours ago. First time painting, I did the slap-chop method. They came out great, it was a lot of fun to sit down for a couple hours every day and put on a few colors. Lessons were learned, and while not great, they are far better than I had hoped.
Great Video as always 🎉 I've just managed to plan more time in for painting again. Last painting session was around yesterday evening. I continued painting my Spiders from Gloomspite Gitz...I use them as proxies for kroot hounds. Have a great day!
I painted my last mini last weekend! Got some of the new Seraphon which are very fun to paint and experiment with.
I don't paint since a long time ago... 6 months perhaps... And I trying to find motivation to start again, and your videos help a lot. Thank you, man.
Yesterday! I put some Stormshield on decals. Did a couple of mini’s. It was a in between quick job.
It's been like a month since I painted. Time to pick up the brush! Thank's Ninjon, love ya brother.
Yesterday. I got back to the hobby a few months ago. Infinity (Corvus Belli) and speed paints have jump started my passion for painting!
Last time I painted was 2 days ago when I finished my Kill team Death Korps of Krieg. It was one of my favourite projects and I tried lots of new stuff: osl, freehand camo, nmm, heat damage. I was so happy with them that I'm building my first diorama for them.
I'm also at very good place with my painting. No stress only fun. I paint what I want when I want and I'm super happy with my skill even though I don't use hard techniques
I am going to say this was great. Needed to hear this. Last time I painted was probably 6 months ago unfortunately..
last mini I painted was last night, but the one before that was 30 some years ago. Back then painting was a bore and a pain. But with new paint, new techniques and a friend as a coach It was so much fun.
Due to health issues unfortunately I haven't painted for close to a year now. Very much hoping to pick up that paintbrush again soon though.
Thank you for all your amazing tips!
It‘s been a week since I last painted.. I have started to overthink too much, so I really liked the part where you said to just paint in a way that gets you back to the table. :)
Really great video, Jon. I've really struggled to increase my efficiency whilst at my table, and this is a really clearly delivered way I'm keen to try. I painted last night, and last finished a model about two weeks ago.
My Last Mini was 5 months ago. Crazy it's Been so Long but I'm trying to get Back. Thanks for the motivation!
I painted my last mini about a month and a half ago, but I'm getting back into the swing of things now so I'll be painting more
About three weeks ago. Tried a few techniques you’ve explained in the past. Wasn’t a success but I’m glad I gave it a shot
Nice vid Jon. It is refreshing to see a top level painter just kick back and let loose. I fret may too much over having to paint every mini the best I can and kick myself that I can't "let go" and just be happy to paint to get stuff done. Masses of zombies or whole other board games remain unpainted instead of just getting some colour on them. Last mini I painted was Wednesday and Thursday last week so 4-5 days ago. I will probably start on something else tonight
Whenever the stresses of painting start piling up, there's a Ninjon video that reminds you you're doing something fun and to just relax.
The last minis I painted (3 Canoptek Scarab Swarms) were a little over 4 weeks ago, but I did build 3 more scarab swarm bases 2 days ago. Progress!
Mainly I kinds stopped painting because I wasn't sure how 10th Ed was going to impact my army building plans, but now that the indexes have dropped it's back to paining on the regular(ish).
