#warhammer40k #miniatures #gamesworkshop - Jak na to + styl
As a swede who has done my fair share of babysitting, I can confidently confirm that the MÅLA paints have two purposes: Kids can eat it without dying and it comes off when you inevitably have to put the little ones in the tub and hose them off :D
🤣🤣🤣
thank you so much
I have wondered for decades every time I go in ikea and see stuff for kids
"do swedish people actually buy this for their kids?"
now i know the answer
That feeling when Jay painted a marine better with terrible paints than you did with professional ones
Shut
I feel personally attacked
Did you have fun doing it? Nothing else matters.
"I'm in this comment and I don't like it"
It's a serious kick in the balls
IKEA Måla paint is tempera, not acrylic.
It has a completely different binder that is designed to be child-friendly and washable (mostly). The reactivation and lifting is part of the nature of this binder, not a faulty feature.
Ah, that absolutely explains it. It's basically finger paint.
I kept thinking if only Jay would use an acrylic medium like GW's Contrast or Lahmian, or perhaps Liquitex Matte. Quite the feat to paint with a product that will reactive to the moisture on your finger tips or crack and flake off if roughly handled once dry.
"MÅLA-series has everything, what a child needs..." should indeed give a strong hint on what the target audience is for this product. 😄
That explains why it was so bad. I only have minimal experience in painting miniatures- as in I've painted one. But I've also repainted Pokemon figurines. It feels very different from painting miniatures, they're larger with more flat surfaces. I had to use my regular acrylic paint, which isn't paint for young children, but isn't fancy stuff; because I needed a palette more colorful than the Star Wars Legion paint set. The main difference was that I couldn't get a small amount of paint out at once and a bit more water was needed. Any problems with my Pokemon figurines are the result of me, not my tools.
It would be interesting to see Jay try the same challenge again with the tubes of entry level acrylic paint you can get at general craft supply stores. What's the difference between acrylic and acrylic meant for miniature painting?
I think it's actually gouache paint, not tempera but i might be wrong
In the dark grim future, there's only meatballs and affordable DIY furniture.
I had this experience 3 years ago. One of the worst painting experiences I've had still to this day. 🤣 You nailed it though
That was the first video of yours I saw. Thought of you when I saw this one.
As a Swedish influencer, you have some sway with IKEA, don't you?
Look at me I made this video first
@@henrikwannheden7114 oh i wish hahaha
I'd love to see you collab with Jay and Nick at somepoint Emil!
You'd almost think that the paints are designed to reactivate, so when your child spills, it's easy to clean up :))
I work at Ikea, MALA is the kids line of product so the Paint has got to be safe enough for little children to use and not ruin the whole home lol, so basically you can consider it more as a toy than real paint... That said, i believe the work you did with this miniature is still pretty good considering what you were working with - a "toy Paint" basically! Cheers
My art teacher used to say: A good artist will make a masterpiece with the best material. A great artist will make a masterpiece with any material.
Yep. Called it 10:42
But for real, those paints aren't even mediocre, they are quite bad even to make effects and washes. You painted a space marine with literal finger paint, and it turned out presentable. Very enlightening experiment.
The presentation, great editing, and those smooth chair turn transitions, just elevate the video and make it so much more visually appealing
Right? He is so dang funny it doesn't really matter what the subject matter is. I laughed maniacally at the gam gam bit.
not gonna lie, the washed out grimdark look comes across really good, a millennia of service and war, perfectly portrait by having to paint it literally with blood and sweat
Yeah. And the storm lord symbol looks like it was painted on by the soldier wearing the armor.
My kids use those paints, and when I saw the title, my first thought was that you were going to struggle with the white 😄
I don't think those are even acrylics but some kind of water-based paint that doesn't dry water proof. Try leaving the space marine in a glass of water and see if the water strips the paint.
These are probably tempera paints. The instructions say they might stain but sometimes can be washed off. This makes sense for children's paint.
Yep look like children's poster paints to me.
@@theheslops439 it's pretty much that
It's made so that toddlers can get the paint in the mouth without doing harm. It's meant for really small children, kindergarten stuff. Not meant as hobby paint.
200 thin coats. 😁
Nice paintjob, Jay. 👍
Man, I love your content! The swooping of all the paints off sold the whole vid already. Great stuff!!!!!
I love these types of experiments since it always shows just how good the actual artist is! Horrible paints but still looks fantastic because of pure skill!
Fun video, this channel has become one of my instant watch when uploads channels. Look forward to more!
I have to say though, what you came up with is excellent. Dude... you took a toy and turned it into awesome!! Well done!
Appreciate the positive attitude and quality information on other paint favorites. Would love to see some brush technique videos!
This was a fun one for sure. Always cool to see what other paints do.
Cool video, got some good laughs out of it. I like how you're fair with it and actually go a little further and found out what the product can actually be used for.
Oh man it still looks so good xD well done, really fun video, would love to see what you can do with acryla-gouache
Just call it grimdark and it's an absolute win
This was really fun! I love your channel and presentation!
"Rugged, durable construction."
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hi Jay, love your experiments with non-conventional mini paint tools!
First video by this guy I've ever seen, I really enjoyed it! I love the positivity!
Love the ikea colour sceme in the studio.
Just found your channel - you are a great, great person! Fantastic personality
It's so calming to watch someone paint with the proper 👍
i think it would be an interesting video painting with the blackest black you can buy and the whitest white to see what kind of designs would be cool
Jay, brilliant and hilarious video! You do more to make the hobby approachable than perhaps any other youtuber!
These edits and cuts were amazing my man 👏🏾 👏🏾 I'll be back for more
I really appreciate your valiant effort! That model actually looks really good considering.
this cheap paint experiments series is my favorite. I'd love to see how options most people would have locally available to them (such as hobby lobby/Michaels) brands would compare.
That red going down looked like Ninjon painting with his blood 😂
I started with apple barrel paints and was very hesitant to get citadel because I like what I was getting out of them on my DnD minis, but I put them head to head on a Blood Angel and thats when I noticed the difference in quality of the coverage
Dude you literally have the best intro. Love your videos.
duuuude even with those paints you slayed it! amazing job
I FELT that heavy sigh while you were free-handing lol
Excellent vid!
Great results! These are the only paints we can get in Sweden so would like to see more of these kind of videos.
Shame I can't post you another like for the duck masterpiece 🌟
First time viewer here, I enjoyed the video. I would have loved to see another section where you painted the same chapter with your favorite paints and had them side by side in comparison. Maybe It's something for a future video in this style. Also, Apple Barrel paints do have some great colors with good coverage. I've got a massive collection from when I first got into D&D and started figuring out miniature painting.
Great stuff friend 👏 👍
I recently stumbled about some awesome wall paints from a local furniture megastore. 250ml for 3 bucks and contrary to typical craft paint they are loaded with pigments to a point that thinning them by a factor of 4 to 5 still doesnt destroy the consistency or coverage. They even work trough an airbrush and mix with other colors without turning into greyish brown sludge. That said i did mix in some of my homebrew magic medium/thinners to adjust consistency and flow regular water probably ruins it just like any other paint if you add too much.
For anyone interested it was "Poco Abtönfarbe" from the simmilarly named furniture store Poco but i guess those paints are available in many Hardware stores as well.
it’d be cool to see a comparison with your preferred paints, good video!
It ended up looking really good
Almost looks blanchistsu! Love it
Your video made my day 😀 As a painter I was very curious to see if we would be surprised. I wasn’t.
I use a lot of those apple barrel paints. it allows me to have a huge range of colors for cheap. I still use GW paints for base coats.
Triggered when Jay tapped the green and said red lmfao. The finish job is bloody awesome!
Hi there! this is the first EonsofBattle vids I've ever seen and the most shoking for me is the paper coverring the light... are you telling me just with a paper you turn a regular lamp on a really nice fount of painting light?
Hah, I love that Applebarrel Black paint too, it's so good for what it is.
thanks for the video, last time i was at ikea i tought to get tham to just test it ^^
a video how to fix the color would be, waht if you ad some mediumß
you might try to check out on the wall paint sample testers. they are very cheap, (for example goodhome is 1.5 gbp per 50ml pot ), and there's wide variety of colours and types .
I never tried them on minis, but they are quite useful for painting terrain pieces and buildings on the cheap. And since they are supposed to go on house walls they tend to be quite durable.
Hey jay, you should try out Duncan’s “two thin coats” paint range. I personally enjoy it!! 😁
Im very impressed, You really pushed those to their limit! Finished result is way better than anything "pro painted" on ebay
I'm surprised you didn't have to assemble these paints. ;)
Best Patreon segue so far.
i think it looks great btw !!!
You made a decent marine out of crap 👍 This reminds me about my beginning in the hobby with czech tempera paints Kohinoor
I actually use a lot of the apple barrel paints. They are super cheap and apply far better than one would expect. I mostly use it for terrain but the blues and black are good enough for model use.
paints better with ikea paints then what i do with airbrush, 30$ shareable brushes and kimera paints haha. Good job what a legend. 😆❤️👍
I'm glad you acknowledged that not all craft paints are total crap. I use them much much more than I admit ( especially on terrain) and there are a lot of paints out there that are totally serviceable
I’m neither into war gaming nor miniature painting, but I still enjoy your content. Especially videos like these.
No Gundam video day!?!
Awesome job as always,
I tried the acrylic paint set from five and under for fun....nice packaging....no Pigment
J, the bravest man braveing the worst paints known to man. Nothing but heroism in this video
Would love to see this become a series. Between this and the Apple Barrel video I'm curious as to your thoughts on other non-miniature acrylic paint brands. Stuff like Winsor & Newton, GOLDEN, Artists Loft, Amsterdam, etc.
I've got a couple GOLDEN High Flow Acrylic paints, specifically their Fluorescent Blue and Green. They seem to work well but I'm curious about other brands. Maybe just raid a Michaels or something.
Squidmar already tried this, and apparently this channel called Geek Gaming Scenics. Haven't watched that guy's video. Glad to see someone else try! It's always fun watching these kind of experimental videos!
we have a store in the UK called The Works that sells cheap acrylic paint I use for terrain. its not great but does the job and costs about the same as a GW pot for a 200ml tube
Yes I use them too. Also I cheated and got a dulex cookie colour that is similar to Zandri dust.
This is the miniature of all time!
Amazing Video. Is that a 3d shoulder pad?
That marine looks better than some of my stuff lol
(p.s. without titanium white I'd be lost)
I love being Swedish and being able to know what IKEA names mean
The desaturated grim dark look, was nice. But there’s no substitute for good paints. 😅 great job 👍🏻🇦🇺
I've also tried the paint out of random curiosity weeks ago to paint one of my printed 75mm miniature and instead of trucking along like you did, I ended up chucking everything lol. Seemed like not only they used crappy binding agent, but also went dirt cheap on the pigment as well. Now only IKEA stuff I stick with are their display cases, Kallax shelves, and desk sets now.
It's meant as finger paints for toddlers, you can't expect to do hobby painting with non toxic paints that are safe for children to get in the mouth... can you?
What's next, painting with food colouring and complaining when the color doesn't do what you want it to.
I wonder how the experience would have been if you tried mixing them with some kind of acrylic medium?
I'm not going to try it though...
Have you done any other apple barrel cheap craft paint video? I really do like watching pro painters use really bad\ weird paints to attempt good minis. What about using posca paint markers to paint a mini or straight up testors enamel paints for model cars? Or even Nail polish?
I think using a matt varnish between paint payers would help build the opacity. it works for me when using blue liquitex ink, as its water activated and just rubs itself off when washing over it.
Paint a model using various nail polishes, I’ve been wanting to try the cats eye on a chaos knight myself
Hey EOB;
I have a request/question for you.
You have shown us that most of the colours are quite sub par but would they work (and produce passable results) on a more simpler paint scheme like the ancient Ultramarines blue&yellow and the similar?
Have you try Mr color paint? I've seen many gunpla collector use that kind of paint .
Also love your content ❤️
Also tamyia, AK are also model paints he "missed".
@@GreenBlueWalkthrough I use AK for my minis. Is fine
I’ve got the basic sets of citadel and Vallejo. To me they are all the same but for some reason I migrated to AK paints. Everything aside from gold metallic I’ve found to do what I want it to do. Even though it’s all pretty much the same thing? Is weird experience trying to settle for a paint brand
While it's the same thing technically, some brands do certain colors better than others. I really like proacryl for non metallic colors but Vallejo makes excellent silvers and I still haven't found a gold I like yet
@@squidcultist0022 Try s75 for metallics, I really like them a lot.
what a cool video
That Paint is going to Blow
is the IKEA mala paint airbrush able and what's used for thinner water or acrylic mr color tinners
Jay, as you are talking paint, I'm looking for advice on the best metallic's. I started with Citadel as most people do and then found Reaper, which I love in general but the metallic's cause me problems. I can't get them looking even on flat surfaces. Any help would be grateful.
How do you avoid the liquitex white getting an oily feel? I've tried a bunch of different thinning mediums.
Takes the time to carefully set up all the other hobbyist paints
Immediately shoves them off the table in favor of IKEA paint.
Classy
Love the content bro. Your up there with my favourite painters. Better than squidmar regarding the content. So keep it uppp
I'm so used to DankPods blowing out my ear drums whenever he reads something in all caps that I immediately took off my headphones when you read IKEA in all caps
i have no idea about paints but your experience with the Ikea paints made me wonder how they would be, if you didn't mix them with water? Like straight out of the tube onto the mini
The reason you had the problem is that it's poster paint, sometimes called tempera. That's designed to be used on paper or board, and to mix even after drying. It's not acrylic paint, more like an opaque version of watercolour paint, similar to gouache.
this is definitely one of the painting jobs of all time
What was that book with all the space marines in it? it looked awesome
I use apple barrel to paint my miniatures, it's a bit thick but you know what ya do there so.
Have you tried Duncan’s Two Thin Coats range yet? If you have what video was it cause I might have missed it
Happy to see someone else who uses the occasional apple barrel craft paint.
Jay what’s that book you have with all the chapters in it? Looks sick
It would have been cool to see you put it through an airbrush. I've found that airbrushing changes the coverage properties of just about every paint I've tried.
When it comes to cheap acrylics, a little life hack that's probably won't work that well for minis, but might be worth a shot is adding cornstarch to the paint. It's a trick artists use when painting. Minnie's might be a bit too small for it but it might make for an interesting short
