    Detailed tartans on 13mm figures. 240 of them!?!? You're nuts!
    I love it but you're nuts.

    Back in the 1990s I worked at a job where our chef pants were red and white check....from any distance they looked a light red/pink.

      They sound fantastic, I’ve worked a couple of places with questionable uniform choices.

    Great inspiration for me to get my kilts painted, seems a little less daunting now.
    One thing to try with the checkered bands might be to go with a dress makers pin and dotting the paint. My hand wasn't steady enough to go with stripes but the dots work nicely

    • @MiniatureRealms
      @MiniatureRealms  Před 2 lety +1

      Yes a dress pin might work very well, small point coloured Sharpie pens would be good as well.

    • @MiniatureRealms
      @MiniatureRealms  Před rokem +1

      Thank you Nick, it was certainly easier than I thought it would be, and at this scale there’s lots of room for doing some appropriate marks to represent the tartan over actually trying to paint it.

  • @paintingpanzers

    Absolutely superb! I really like your technique for painting the kilts. I need to get my hands on some of those contrast paints, they looked excellent.

      Cheers mate. They’re pretty useful for base coating over the right kind of prime, and make great glazes.

    Brilliant video. When I eventually get round to painting my Epic (that have just been bumped AGAIN, by Black Seas this time) I'll use your ideas as a foundation for how to tackle the tartan, I have a few other ideas I plan to try too (using very fine gel pens) but at this scale it's easy for theories to turn to disaster. At first I planned to just do them all with green and blue stripes but your examples show its definitely worth going for an extra bit of detail.

    • @MiniatureRealms
      @MiniatureRealms  Před 2 lety +1

      Thank you 😊. Pens are a great idea, I’ve got some to play around with (maybe for marks on the socks and bearskin brims), I found the brush easier for the kilts.

  • @ath3lwulf533
    @ath3lwulf533 Před rokem +1

    might be a bit late but for the tartans i used a very fine filter mesh sheet just cut it to a size you are comfortable holding, dabbed it in a color i wanted and using the rubber end of a pencil gently pressed on the tartan, then repeated over it with a different color. would also suggest if you try this you use something like a ink and not a acrylic paint.

    • @MiniatureRealms
      @MiniatureRealms  Před rokem

      That sounds really interesting, I’d love to see the results.

  • @warpaint9385
    @warpaint9385 Před 2 lety +1

    The more I see this range painted the more I’m getting the “I wants”. I shouldn’t, I’ve got heaps of 28mm Napoleonic’s still to paint.
    These just give the look of a grand scale like it should be. You don’t really get that from 28mm when your doing only 24 figures a regiment, 12 for Cavalry.

    • @MiniatureRealms
      @MiniatureRealms  Před 2 lety +1

      That’s exactly what got me sucked in, they’ve done something with the overall visuals that I’ve not seen in other games. Even in smaller scales it’s not always matched, most often too few miniatures on a stand to look like massed troops, but Warlord’s stands of 20 men in tight ranked strips of 10 just seems to achieve it.
      There are issues with it for sure, unit frontages are a little large, and some have cut the bases in half and use less to help this, but as long as you still have 60+ men in tight ranks it looks awesome.

  • @karlhulme8014
    @karlhulme8014 Před 2 lety +2

    Good tutorial and they look great….but looking at the kilts with just a basic coat of green….I’m thinking that may very well be good enough given the scale and quantity of the miniatures involved. Maybe I’m just being lazy.

    • @MiniatureRealms
      @MiniatureRealms  Před 2 lety +2

      Thank you, and you’re totally right, leaving them plain green would look totally fine at this scale (any scale really, especially if it’s about getting them on the table to play).

    • @miketike3246
      @miketike3246 Před 2 lety +2

      No, that's not lazy at all!
      Having the experience of painting the entire mega bundle of the Civil War epic scale, I can tell you it is amazing what you can get away with in this scale.
      Stewart is of course doing a fabulous job on these, as always!
      But you are quite correct about the tiny details. Stew has an excellent camera and his closeups clearly show the amount of effort he puts into the detail.
      But when I got my Civil War on the tabletop, it really hit home how small the scale really is. A lot of the finer equipment details I painted couldn't even be picked out by the eye.
      And it seemed even more so when I painted my first battalions of Waterloo Epic.
      I discovered that at tabletop height, the British line and French line look VERY similar, sometimes to the point of having difficulty telling them apart, only the flags giving them away.
      However, collectively your eye does pick up on the tiny amounts of red on the British and the tiny amounts of blue on the French. It's a "collective pop" to the eye.
      For units like these Highlanders, a detail has to be at least as big enough to differentiate the shape from tabletop height. The ostrich feather hats are the ONE detail that is big enough and differently shaped from the usual shakos enough to be noticed on the table.
      Also the green of the kilts. Collectively it's different enough from the gray trousers of the line units.
      If not for those larger details, this unit would hopelessly blend in with the rest of the British army at this scale.
      In my long-winded way, I'm basically saying that in this scale you really don't have to go beyond basic, blocked colors. They'll be totally effective on the tabletop.
      Everything Stewart doing is a wonderful visual bonus for sure! But you can stop quite a bit earlier and they'll still look great.

    @weregeniegaming Před rokem +1

    Hey Stuart, for the Tartan did you ever consider a thin wash of the secondary color, e.g. the blue? Then crosshatch yellow and red lines.
    I am still waiting for my order to arrive, when it does I am tempted to wash the green with Ultramarine Blue (or equivalent) and then paint the yellow and red. I'll post it up when I get it done, unless it looks like crap, in which case, forget I ever mentioned it. LOL.

    • @MiniatureRealms
      @MiniatureRealms  Před rokem

      That might work, I find at this scale sometimes anything ‘too subtle’ just doesn’t show up. But saying that I don’t think it would look bad, would love to hear how you get on.
