I love oil paints they are amazing, can be used as a simple wash, filters, tinting, total coverage, blending etc... A good while ago I painted up some Knight Models Batman stuff I painted Black Mask half in acrylics and finished off with oils and wow blending was insanly easy and it made the bases look insane (the model had a full base with ground, a chair for the victims, tools to use on them nice guy really) but wow
@@NuHue totally agree they are also very easy to use just getting over the little bit of fear you might have, and hell if you mess it up you can clean everything off with no issues very fast.
@@NuHue pretty tame compared to others a helbrute, master of possession and a lord discordant ( all alpha legion )but I also have a age of darkness box(undecided on legion either alpha legion or iron hands I'm thinking ) and a knight abominant(have no idea what I want for scheme on this guy)
@@KameradArktis So a fair amount, but nothing too crazy! Well if you want some inspiration on the Abominant, we have an Abominant video on the channel if you want to check it out!
Oh this is fantastic, so glad I found this. Subbed! I want to try to use oils more in my mini painting (right now I am just using oil washes). I see you use the same brush. I remember someone telling me for oil, a second brush should be available that is bone dry and that one is used for blending. Could you comment on that? Thank you
Thank you Andrei! I'm glad you found us! I would certainly say give it a try! If you are concerned just try doing a single colour with a blend to begin with, armour panels are surprisingly easy! Yes, you can have a second brush on hand, at times this would be easier if you are in between adding more colour and need to blend right away, the only issue I find with having an extra brush at hand is, usually the extra brush is dry and the moment you start to blend you will need to clean the brush off after every blend otherwise you start to contaminate the next part of the blending. So for myself, its just easier to maintain using the same brush and utilising a piece of tissue to quickly clean the brush back down. at 03:24 on the right hand side, you will see the method used to clean the brush. Another little reason I mostly like to maintain a single brush is its easier for myself to keep hold of one brush rather than having to swap and find the right grip again! Especially with finnicky small detailed spots, the less stress the better!
I liked the bash, and I like the paint job well enough, but I don't understand what you were going for with his right hand. Why just have a sword hilt? It looks like the sword broke off (had it happen on my minis before).
@@NuHue i agree with you boss. I would consider myself a beginner and i use oils for landscape and bits, i do find myself using too much oil and making it hard to keep blending wet on wet. Dragging colors across the model, just to go back and touch up. But not a whole model in oil
@@kaicmma Are you going in with the oils too thick? I guess with landscapes, you almost want to get those sharp, harsh blends to simulate texture? A touch up with oils sure does beat needing to touch up a scuffed, dried acrylic blend! I've been in that boat one too many times.
@@kaicmma Unless you are going for a wash, I wouldn't thin the oils down with mineral spirits, you will forever be fighting with the paint to stay in one spot and the spirits will also want to lift any other paint pigments it come into contact with! I use Winsor & Newton Liquin Original, the paint stays right where you put it and it speeds up the dry time!
Uber nice! the only advantage of acrylics over oils for me is just their prices... super cheap to have a good color selection but such a pain in the a** when it comes to paint details (for me)
Thank you Doktor! Appreciate the complement! For an immediate price point yes, but if you have colours which you will use very regularly you get more bang for the buck from an oil pot!
I should of picked a more obscure name now... Its a very new Instagram account, just like the channel, so chances are you may have already seen it all!!
An unfortunate injury I sustained when I done some plastering for a family member. I now only wear gloves to hide any unfortunate injuries I sustain because I'm clumsy!
Best model ever
Thank you Dennis! I hope you enjoyed the show.

Oil paints are certainly a must have for any hobby enthusiast. It can feel like a steep jump but oils are very forgiving.
@@NuHue totally agree they are also very easy to use just getting over the little bit of fear you might have, and hell if you mess it up you can clean everything off with no issues very fast.
100%!!! I'll be making a much more in depth video for oils because they are just a misunderstood product in our hobby.
@@NuHuewhat is the size of the bace and how did you make the terrain or where did you get it?
I like it
Thank you Carl! I hope you enjoyed the show.

He reminds me of the protagonist from that old game Slaughterhouse. Seems apropos.
Beautiful
Thank you Kimo!
subscribed.. great videos! im impressed
Thank you Mayo! Glad you found us.
Great video! What was the name of the additive you mentioned towards the begging? I've only ever used mineral spirits
Thank you Kevin!
The additive is called Liquin, the exact product I used is, Winsor & Newton Liquin Original.
It speeds the dry time!
hmm actually enjoy painting trim looks over at my pile of shame full of csm i think i will try it just to save my sanity
Give it a go!!! How big of a pile are we talking here?

@@KameradArktis This is extremely heart warming to read this!! There will be more Knights coming shortly!

@HuHue What is the size of the bace and how did you make or where did you get the terain
The crimson is the same bob rossy uses. Plus i would suggest for beginners to stay away from oil paints for minis unless determined.
I would have to disagree with you here, beginners can easily get stuck into oils! not an entire model, but certainly get using them!

@@DoktoRVoLoXGuitars I sure do! Its NuHueMiniatures

Did you see him?
Couldn't stop looking at your thumb sore

Damm
I like it but still needs the plasma pistol, thought so at the build but waited for paint. If not the pistol a second axe
