- How long should you paint a mini for? An hour or two? How about 10... 20?! Maybe even longer. Let me show you how to plan out your time for big mini painting projects, so you can finally call your big showpiece minis "DONE!"

"What's wrong with you? Well, lot's of things actually,"
If I had a nickel for every time I've been a part of this conversation I could buy a Dark Angels upgrade sprew. That's not much money but a crazy number of times.
If you say Pale Sand three times in a mirror, you can summon a Canadian.
please stop doing that im trying to get some painting done
@@DanaHowl palesandpalesandpalesand!
The weird thing is it's only usually Dana Howl that appears, sometimes it's just some random, confused Canadian.

'Pale sands I loved beside the Shalimar-ah...' (
Guy thanks for making this and showing that it’s alright to paint on “done” models already. Need to go over my older models and touch them up with highlights
Yeah I had never really thought about it this way before. But now I think about it, it was so obvious because really any part of the model is "done" when it dries
I've started doing this a lot. Now I paint a lot of my models to get them what I consider 80% done, so I can get a good looking army on the table (I HATE playing with grey unpainted minis), and then slowly go back over my army a squad at time and finish them up. Add edge highlights and some shading and more details.
Be careful you can lose some some stuff doing it.
An artist never really finishes his work, he merely abandons it.

Well then I’ve finished 0ver a thousand art peace’s
@@nykrev or abandoned?
@@flipvdfluitketel867 yeah they were abandoned
@@nykrev I guess that makes you an artist
@@flipvdfluitketel867 thanks I appreciate it I’m an artist mom-
I've noticed Guy writes with a cursive print mixture, using a continual line to write print letters. I dont know why I found this the most interesting part of the video...
I tended to do that when I had a hundred forms per night to fill out all in pen at one job I worked
A lot of us adapted to do that. Taught cursive for 10+ years only to find out the average person can't read it anyway. So we adapt. Good Catch! You've got a sharp eye.
I do it too!
We don't generally get taught formal letterforms in the UK; maybe people who go to posh private schools might but normal people in normal schools just adapt to whatever kind of writing suits them... so long as people can read it.
That's exactly how I write haha, print letters but just connected
DAMMIT looks like I'm gonna have to change what I thought was my original Ork colour scheme >_<
OR maybe I'll just steal it like a propa' Death Skullz Ork would do....
I thought you'd been summoned here because he said pale sands so many times.
@@pappajudas9267 You're not wrong
"Deffskulls iz alwayz lootin', so wot if some o da ladz az sneaky armor and sum av' lucky, we'ze still Deffskulls."
Personally my Zapped Ead'z (Deffskulls "Succesor Klan") Orks are a mix of purples, blues, creams and blacks and a desaturated green skin.
They're run from the shadows by a warp lightning powered Gretchin named Ziggurat Skrawl who controls all the Big Bosses from the shadows.
Embrace the colour chaos and the fun is glorious.
My partner belted out a "PALE SAND!?!" in your honor when she heard Guy mention it xD
The queen of pale sand!
Honestly, I spend nearly as long on characters as I do on normal troops. Maybe a half hour longer total due to the extra detail, but I normally throw my characters into a batch while batch painting and treat them like everything else.
I do the reverse
Guy is so focused on painting that Dana Howl couldn't even mention pale sand today.
This is giving me inspiration for my recent Octarius acquisition, thank you!
Amazing paintjob!
Personally I think edge-highlighting always makes things look super cartoony though, which is something that doesn't appeal. But that's just a matter of stylistic preferences. The execution is absolutely stellar!
Personally I hate the aggressive edge-highlighting. Agreed, it makes it cartoony and far less mean looking
"he's not well painted" bro most of us are in our 40s and 50s we can barely see your model from across the table, if it was green base coated with dry brushed silver on the metal we'd say it looks great
Silver drybrushed on green?
*Im Blind*
This is caulk on some drywall....
Glasses, magnifiers, zoom all exist.
@@tando6266 I zoom in irl by moving closer
Everything I look at is "farther than it may appear"
When people say it's foggy outside I laugh
Crazy to think people have been into this hobby for decades, barely getting into it with some friends and we're not even 20
was I alone in expecting the appearance of DH at every mention of the colour 'pale sand' lol
Is Guy out of Pale Sand clips again? I'll have to send him a new shipment
Same
@@DanaHowl Make them progressively sillier!
"There's no hard and fast rule on how long you should spend painting a particular mini"
10 seconds! take it or leave it
dip that mini in a bottle of paint and voila, done
Then it’s not tournament legal
@@commanderstorm8874 Dip it in 3 pots of paint!
Here to leave my comment before I've even gotten through the ads! Praise the algorithm
Would love to see an extension of this where you take a model that "failed " and make it work without stripping
Taking a failed project and turning it into a winq
God I love watching Guy paint and talk about his color theory. I know hardly anything but its so enjoyable to watch him do it so seemingly effortlessly.
Aye a nice video for Sunday
Possible Hot Take: With the exception of missing a few highlights I like your original top skull better. IMHO it makes sense because it's sitting atop the exhaust system for the power armour so it wouldn't be far off for it to be very grungy and dirty. Just my personal opinion but if you're happy with the end result that's all that matters.
Seen at 20:44
I agree. There are some details that came out great with the repaint, but the new purple armor looks a bit...cartoony?
EDIT: Obviously, Guy's opinion on his own model is what matters most. I couldn't paint anything half as good as the (basic) first model in 20 weeks, let alone 20 minutes or 20 hours
@@srk4044 yeah. I really like the new version but it looks like its from a comic book.
The painting styles popular in the Warhammer community are generally more about what 'looks cool' than what is realistic, so the more you do it the more you end up with something that looks like concept art of a comic book or a cartoon character or a CGI render, etc. Edge highlighting has been around as long as I can remember (since at least the 90s) and that's not how light works in real life, but you try telling that to the biggest company and fan base in the industry/hobby! You have to find a style that you like, and not assume that how everybody else seems to do it must be correct or that you have to fit in with them. (It helps that I paint historicals rather than sci fi and fantasy)
I'm with you. There are a lot of areas that are hugely improved , especially the face and metals, but i much preferred the old skull and the overall feel of the purple armour too
I'm sure a million people have already said this, but I was HOLDING MY BREATH for Dana to pop up every time you mentioned "Pale Sand".
Guy! This episode is the reason I appreciate You and your contributions to the hobby so very much.
Like others that have outright declared what could be considered as prima facie disabilities (Jeremy #Black Magic Craft , Mitch #Terrainosaur
The yellows on the final product make me feel warmth in my cold dead heart.
Great job mate!
Couldn't come at a better time. Painting Da Boss right now and I'm all over the place. Thank you
WAAAAAAAAGH APPY ORKTOBER LADZ! Love being able to watch another awesome Ork video while painting me a Deff Dread!
title say 20 hr, and the video is only 20 mn, i feel robed :D
thanks for the video guy.
Been very captivated by purple lately and this video makes me appreciate purple in its applications
Orktober has officially begun!!!!
Just the work on the armor itself sells the piece. Nice
LOVE Purple Orcs!!! So Incredible Hulk!
The king of speed painting spends 20+ hours on a model? Up is down, light is dark, and I am here for it.
Great job, guy.
One of my fav' things to go by when making things is "perfection is the enemy of completion".
Seeing stuff like this reminds me why i got into the hobby in the first place lol
Daaaaaammmmmmnnnnn! That mini looks sick. Makes me wish every month was Orktober.
I absolutely love bright colored paint jobs
I always have a feeling of joy when I see a new upload
I thnk that looks really good Guy, love the highlighting style on that purple armour. Well done!
Another MWM video! Weekend made even better. Seriously, I watch your videos when I'm feeling low, and they always perk me up. They're always really wholesome, I find 🙂
I feel like Guy uses "Pale Sand" as much as Sorastro uses "deck tan". LoL Great video, Guy! Keep up the good work.
I always get caught up trying to make every miniature as good as possible. This is such a good way of handling it - paint everything to a set standard and then come back to it later in the future to improve! I usually strip everything and start over, but this saves time and allows you to play with it from the get-go!
With the amount of Pale Sand you are using in this video I can just imagine how happy Dana Howl must be!
I was looking forward to this video since you had yor grind through your whole army...well done and big thanks!
What's interesting there is the process of speed painting / tabletop painting the army first so you can play with it. Then, "complete" the paint job on the main pieces when you have free time, just to relax and enjoy it. Very sound process.
I love the new finish!! It feels like something out of a comic book almost, with the brighter edge highlights. Awesome job as ever :D
that is one good looking ORK
The music at about 15 mins in reminded me of a game I used to play on the Commodore Amiga. I racked my brains and then it came to me... Walker by Physignosis. Awesome game. Thanks for that bit of nostalgia Guy 👍😀
WAAAAAAGH! playing orks has me all fired up and I can't wait to paint my ghaz after seeing this!
I painted my first BloodMaster of Khorne a few days ago, first mini aswell, spend a solid 7 hours straight painting, time ran away like nothing, yet it was suprisingly relaxing
This is one of the best examples of OSL I have seen most people go overboard and obliterate the detail on the areas they are highlighting well done!
Knocking it out of the park Guy. Keep it up
That new Black Metal Midwinter Minis tee looks amazing! I missed out on a wiggly bois shirt in my size, so I am excited.
The finished product reminds me of comic book art. It's really cool.
ORKTOBER IS HERE!
This is very engaging and watchable, which isn't easy to achieve with a painting "step by step" sort of video (granted it's much more than that). Well done, great video!
Beautiful work Guy. What a difference.
That thing is insane. I love the paint job
Fantastic work, Guy. Love your channel.
I love how well this shows that you don't need to just blast everything with black to make it grimdark, you can still keep vibrancy and colour in while staying grim and foreboding.
Actually love what you did with the horns here.
Well this was absolutely amazing. Love the tips and tricks you always incorporate in your tutorials and the way you show that anyone can paint to whatever standard they want. Really inspires me and I can't wait for the next orky video
Love this scheme on Ghaz! 🙏🙏🔥
Mate, i remember getting in to minis when i was a kid in the 80's. My local GW shop buying Citadel paints and over priced lead cast minis. I was earning £3/week at the time with my paper round so it was a real treat to be able to buy this stuff, super hard to afford an army. Fantastic to watch all your work, bringing back great memories. Thank you.
You've painted ghaz the exact way I painted mine last year, so cool 😂 you've done an amazing job. What a way to kick off orktober!
Did you also not paint his bionic bonce metal? Pretty big part of his background lore considering it was the patch-job on his brain injury that allowed him to have visions of Mork and Gork.
Of all the CZcams big mini names, you're the one I enjoy the most because you're the kind of balanced hobbyist I identify with: decent painter with a "this is for gaming" approach. I love it.
Great tips. The stippling brush was an awesome touch!
"Orktober! Dat's a good 'un. Waaagh! Waaagh! Waaagh!" From the orcs on square bases...
I don't paint minis at all, just sort of like crafts and art and stumbled in to midwinter minis.
But I love the channel and watch every episode! super cozy cheers
Absolutely gorgeous model Guy!
That's amazing. Its interesting to watch you work for an extended period of time on one model. You have this wonderful sketchy style, I'd be curious to see you attempt a comic book painting style at some point. You're videos are always an inspiration and they do a fantastic job of making this hobby seem so approachable.
Glad I found your channel, as an ever improving painter. You have a really simple - straightforward way of showing techniques that is super helpful!
Finaly.... these videos I like. Just like the old Blackstone Fortress videos :)
This is such a good tutorial. I feel like you've covered so many great little guides in each hour and i've learned so much.
Good ol' Ghazghkull Thakker, also known as the invention of the Evil Lord Varlak's Top War Boss!! WAAAAAGGHHH!!!
Fantastic video and really appreciated you walking us through your reasoning for each section.
Ahhhh this is my JAM.... I'll be following your fast and effective schemes... I've got sooo much to paint and am still in the build phase. thank you for your continued content... I hope to be able to get mine to this level by the end of the month.... Bravo!
The edge highlighting on the armor almost makes Ghaz look cel shaded, incredible
love the brush techniques here, great video!
Turned out absolutely beautiful. Love seeing content like this and the creative process behind it. Really inspires me to get back into painting.
Awesome model. Fantastic paint job. Keep up the good work.
I’m sooooo excited for orktober this is gonna be amazing!!!!!!
This is by far my favorite content! Fast paced vid of a very well done paintjob
I like the edge highlighting. It does add a cartoony feel I guess, but to me it makes it look reminiscent of video game graphics which I think makes it really neat.
I absolutely love the art style showed off in this video. The saturation mixed with the scratchy very bright, vibrant highlights along with the variations in mid tone shadow and highlight concentration are tons of fun to look at. Good job Guy.
Literally just rewatched the whole of your black stone fortress series. Your such a genuinely good painter and you make it easy for everyone to do. Thanks guy,
WAHGGGGGGGH
Look is great to me! Fun watch; thanks.
Guy this looks so good!!! Absolutely amazing paint job!
Such a cool paintjob, you've improved lots guy
Great job. Loved the vid.
TIN BITZ! I completely forgot about it, and then I remembered that I love it. EDIT: Now you're talking about Snakebite Leather! So much unexpected nostalgia
Love the colors
Great spruce up of an awesome model
Stunning
Keep up the good work the colour of purple mixed so we'll with the Ork armour!
insane, crazy video… congrats for the end result and dedication
That looks awesome!
I Would like to see you paint some of the other big things from your Ork Army the same way😊
That looks amazing, great job!
Absolutely amazing video and exactly what I needed now. Didn't have the motivation to paint tonight but your video fixed that. Off to finish off my Eldar Warp Hunter.
That's wonderful! Love the texture on the tusks. Pale Sand, steady hand, can't fail.
That looks so much better!
Great job Guy well done
This looks so good. I'm inspired.
Awesome video! I love the orks and October is my birthday month! Ghazghull is my favorite minuture to paint and you did a wonderful job! Looking forward to all the Ork related videos this month
