In a dark, dark town, on a dark, dark street!
Yes! 😆 That was so nearly the way I started the video.
Blast from the past!!
Very effective painting, shields contrasts superbly with the sand bases. Nice!
Thank you 😊
These look fantastic 🙂
Thank you very much 😊
I must also say we now have such an amazing tools to speed things up and really finish the project fast. Speedpaints/Xpress/Constrasts + highlights blends quality and speed.
Wholeheartedly agree. I was never a fan of the base layering stage, but really enjoy it now.
Looking awesome. Loving these guys all over again... oh dear
Thank you 🙂
the end result looks great. I really like the shields.
Thank you 🙂
Stunning! The turquoise and red are so striking!
Thank you 😊
Very wel done turtorial and covering all the topics, best ever !!! :)
Thank you very much 😊
Great video. I found your channel recently and I’ve been really enjoying your content. This was the exact thing I wanted to watch whilst having my lunch 😊 I can’t wait for the new TK box and I will definitely be following your method! Thank you
Thank you so much 😊
Absolutely love them. Excellent job.
Those shield colours are fantastic and very eye catching.
When you showed the table top finish I thought yeah that's great for large armies and where I'd probably leave the rank and file for the most part.
However upon seeing the white drybrush I'd almost classify that step as required. It really ties it together imo.
Thank you 😊
I agree, I can never resist doing the extra stages, and I’d normally have the drybrush stage included, but wanted to see if I could present a super quick scheme.
Amazing video as always.
Thank you 😊
These look great!
Thank you 🙂
Seriously, this ist the first tutorial I watched where zenital highlighting is used for Old World units. Thanks for that, I love it! Will try this on my Empire troops as Well 😊
Thank you. I’ve done a Empire State Troop using this method too, it’s in the same playlist 😊
This is the technique I'm going to use, so I'm happy to see it should work really well and pop on the table :)
It was a relief that it came out well, definitely a time saver for a large army.
very nice!
Thank you 🙂
Nicely done Stuart! I painted a bunch of Otherworld Miniatures Skeletons several years ago using similar techniques.
Thank you Andrew. They do some lovely miniatures, lots on my ‘one day for fun’ list.
This is the best tutorial
Thank you 😊
Very good Job !
Thank you 🙂
Thanks ! My skeletons will love it !!
Thank you 🙂
I love watching your old world stuff. I’d like to see you try some empire minis in the averland scheme of yellow and black. I’ve started them and need some inspiration!
Thank you 🙂.
I’m definitely having more requests for different Empire states, so may have to revisit them and try a few more. Won’t be in the next month or so I doubt though, time is a bit tight.
This video made me go and get my skellies from the basement to see what I have. I've got stuff from early 80's till about 2000. I can't wait until the Old World releases! Somehow I have 30 Tomb Guard, I don't even know if you can run that many...
Wow sounds like you’re going to be set up for The Old World, sounds like a lovely collection!
I love the basing effect you have gone for, I played Ogres and Greenskins for fantasy back in the day, but am very hyped for Old World and looking at getting Tomb Kings, I am very likely to get that sanding pot and try it out for myself :D
Thank you, shouldn’t be long to wait now, best of luck with your army.
Really great tutorial for tomb kings. It will come in handy for my army next year. I'm gonna experiment with verdigre oxide effect on the golds.
Thank you. I love the verdigris effect, will look great on a TK army.
You make it look too easy man. This is top level.
That’s very kind, thank you 😊
Great tutorial, I am sure it will help a lot of people out that will buy the old world tomb kings box. Very tempted to buy it myself, seems like an army that takes very well to oil washes, pigment powders and weathering. It must be so satisfying to wash all that bone, might be worth the box price just for that!.
Thank you 😊. Oil washes would be perfect as well, and give that extra working time as well, definitely an army you can on the table quicker tag sone.
Who doesn't love some good old silly skeletons
Absolutely 🙂
I'm going to use this tutorial to paint my necrons. I've always wanted to do a tombking necrons mash up for 40k
That’s a great idea, I’ve seen some bone necrons before and it worked very well.
Speedpaints are amazing. Acts like oils, smoother coverage than Contrasts and no stains. BTW AMAZING skellies! You could speed the process even faster with speedpaint metallics. You already have a zenital!
Thank you.
I definitely need to try out the Speedpaint metallics. I guess the reason I haven’t is because I really like my method, but I appreciate I need to try the new thing as well.
@@MiniatureRealmsno need to jump on every new tool but I won mine and I really like them. Speeds up painting armies A LOT.
Amazing tutorial, definitely copying this for mine but I’ll most likely skip some of the highlights for speed purposes
Thank you (and I don’t blame you, I’ve still got way too much to do 😂).
I started to convert my Empire army to round Age OF Sigmar Bases. I done about half, but I never played Age Of Sigmar even now. So I made trays where you can put round bases onto rectangle trays, so I can use minis for Old World Sigmar and kings of war.
I’ve seen a few people do this, great idea.
You should check out one page rules line for something similar.
I keep thinking about this and never get around to it.
Loving all the old world content. Two small requests into one: I'd love to see you paint up Wargame Atlantic's Conquistadors as an Empire Handgunner / Greatswords proxy mix! If i can be cheeky and suggest a Nordland scheme! Thank you!
Thank you 🙂.
I’ll add those ideas to my list. Those Wargames Atlantic Conquistadors are nice looking models, so if I can pick the odd one up then I might get to it. I am thinking of covering more Empire states though, so a decent chance I may cover Nordland one day.
Whilst you are at it, do you reckon you could nab some of their Landsknecht Ogres? They look like they would fit beautifully with Empire. For the state colours, I have nothing against Nordland but we have already seen a very lovely blue and yellow scheme from you on the Bretonians. Perhaps Stirland to get some green in the mix? Or Ostermark for a burgany/purple?
That’s a good idea, can’t promise I’ll get around to it, but I’ll definitely add the idea to my requests list.
@@MiniatureRealms I bought a single sprue on ebay for these recently for like 5 pounds btw!
Have come back to this video as the starter boxes announced have basically said that I need to commit to either the Bretonnians or the Tomb Kings rather than being a dual-faction starter set. Pros and cons to single-faction or dual-faction starters. Either way, I’ve decided on Tomb Kings and I loved this basing video back when it was released!
Thank you, glad it’s still useful 🙂
Fantastic tutorial always bud! Think I’ve found a paint scheme for my army! I have 40 infantry in the printer at the moment and I’m looking forward to painting them up! If I can get my guys looking half as a good as yours I’ll be dead happy
Cheers Matt, I’m looking forward to seeing your TK and how they come along.
@@MiniatureRealms I really like how your shields came out with the zenithal airbrushing so might attempt something similar myself
@KingMATTtheSuperior Thank you, give us a shout if you need any advice.
I see your post at instagram last, now here in Video… many thanks for the inspiration to build ant paint my very big tomb king pile of shame 😀
Thank you for watching, and best of luck getting through that big army project. 🙂
@@MiniatureRealms❤
Eyecatching colour sceme, the units look good. This will be a great looking army with the ornate Tomb Guard, a Sphinx or two and some annimated constructs. I'm looking forward to being able to buy Tomb Kings again from GW, I can't afford to plunder the tomb treasury for the ransom prices online.
I painted my skeletons with an agrax wash over base coat of vallejo bonewhite then soft over brush and layer up lighter tones. Yes its old style but its relaxing and theraputic, doesn't take me too long to finish units.
Thank you. When I decided to paint a couple for a tutorial I wasn’t sure if I’d do an army, but now I’m definitely going to at least make one up to 2k (or whatever the old world equivalent ends up being).
Your scheme is a perfect way of doing it, and not all that different to mine really, I bet they look great.
Thanks for the video. If you want more just wait until october. Highland Miniatures will make there own desert skeletons
Yep I’ll not likely get more unless this Ute very cheap.
In a dark, dark town there was a dark, dark street…
I so very nearly started the video with that 😆
Models look great too! I’m sure these will be one of the most popular factions when Old World is out
Thank you, and I think you’re right, they’ve been missed by many.
They're great. The formation picture at the end is just glorious. I'm really quite upset that it's only Khemri returning in the new Old World. I really thought the Vampire counts would be included as they are huge part of the Old World lore - maybe they will come?
Great tutorial as always - and still loving how you base your miniatures (I did put a cheeky order on eventually).
I have a few theories on why VC aren’t there at launch, they are just theories though.
First off, the main reason we have limited factions is mostly down to resources, it’s a Specialist Design Studio game, so they just don’t have the numbers of people and budget the main studio does, it’s just not a main game anymore. We kind of have to accept it this way, or not have it at all. That will mean way more old minis than new, and a far slower churn than 40K/AOS as well.
Also, while they know that there are a lot of crossover miniatures and factions with AOS, I expect that maintaining new AOS IP is more important, so the heavy focus is likely to be on factions that don’t have a place on AOS. TK & Brets had pretty much disappeared, they were probably the only two main factions (sorry chaos dwarfs) that didn’t get a place at all in AOS. That gives them a huge opportunity to focus on something that’s been ‘missing’ the longest. If I was a hard core VC player I’d be disappointed that they weren’t being covered with new rules to start (as I would for Liazards or Skaven), but I’d also recognise that they will have lists, but also amazing AOS ranges from which to build armies from, oddly in many cases way better and more modern that the armies that are there at launch for TOW.
They’ve mentioned at launch that much of the initial focus will be around the Boarder Princes. Take a look at the names on the map, Harkon is on there, he’s the grand master of the blood dragons. Now knowing GW that doesn’t mean that VC will definitely be covered, but it not only gives VC players a cool theme to work from, but also hints at possible expansions in the future.
Finally I think the plan is probably to bring in more of the ‘legacy’ factions later on. That will very much depend on sales of the first round, there’s some safety built into the business model there, it also makes the workload manageable for a small team. There was no way 1-2 writers could produce new army book level of release for all the armies at the end of 8th.
I also think they will advance the storyline. In the old Warhammer this would have never happened, they even wiped the lord of Storm of Chaos, the only time it moved on was the end times, and there was an obvious reason for that. I think if it sell well, there will be future editions/campaign expansions, with more faction brought back, especially as we get closer to the chaos invasion, I’d imagine that’s the perfect narrative tool to bring more back.
Sorry long answer, but I could hypothesise this for hours.
No need for an apology. That was an insightful read. Sounds like theyve probably had some tough decision to make along the way.
I’ve no doubt.
Of course take everything I’ve said with a pinch of salt, most of it is educated guesses based on little bits I know about the way some things are done. I may do a video on it, as I’ve had lots of comments similar to yours that are good discussion points.
And the two factions that they are starting with are two very beloved factions that actually ceased to exist at the change to AoS. This is a way to fight back against the creep of printing and get some relevance back on these factions.
I’ve been a highland mini patron for a few years, and OPR. I have multiple Tomb kings armies worth of files to date, bretonians, empire, Kislev, dwarves, and ogres. I just need rule books at this point.
Really nice economic way to get a good looking army! It's interesting to watch this as I'm currently working on my ultimate hobby dream army, a strictly 6th ed Tomb Kings army where I'm spending around 20 hours per skeleton warrior. I have over 100 skeleton warriors, not to mention over 30 Tomb Guard, chariots etc etc, so it will take me years to complete, but that's fine for me, I want it to look great in the end. :)
That sounds like a fantastic project, are you posting pictures of this anywhere?
Thank you! Some of the hours is prep work as the models are mostly my old teenage models and I'm a slow painter so it's not quite what some others could achieve with that time, but I'm very satisfied with the results. I just followed you on IG, I post most completed models there on my page. I tried writing my page name here now multiple times, seems like YT is censoring that as linking maybe for some reason, but the name is similar to this username. Apologies for not being able to link it!
I'll try mentioning it here, it's Sovrano7 (Ethnarch), I'd be very happy if you took a look. Thank yous
Ah thank you, I’ve follows you back. Some lovely models there, I look forward to filling you progress.
CZcams is very strict with sharing links and things like that in comments, quite frustrating at times.
@@MiniatureRealms Thank you, that's great. :)
Great job man. Could you post the paintings used next time :)
Thank you, I’ll try and remember to add them later.
Impressive what you can get out of these old models with rather modern techniques und supplies nearly 20 years younger than the skellington they're used on - well done and thanks a lot for sharing with us!
What would you suggest as a substitute for the Cryptek Armourshade? Mine is nearly depleted (unfortunately one of those famous if rare knock-over-incidents in my wargaming career :) ) I still have the "classy" shades in their glossy version though if that helps, even if I feel the newer formulations might be shiny enough to get away with.
Thank you.
You can get away with many washes/shades on Golds, Agrax, Sepia, Flesh tones are good as well.
Very well done and great idea to use the weapons as the highlight of the pieces giving these mini faces well...they're non existent!
However if you did want to add more to your forces of Tomb Kings, I would say consider Proxies to be honest.
Mantic Games has a good range of skeleton warriors that are not legally trademarked Tomb Kings.
And so does Highland Miniatures.
Hope it helps.
Thank you 🙂
I have some Highlands miniatures, big fan of their stuff, and they do excellent skeletons.
Buried very deeply in my stash is a medium sized army of these guys but I am very happy to hear they are coming back. Question is when and at what price. I can always use more undead.
Oh you should definitely dust them off. Price wise I’ve no idea on the new stuff, but my guess is cheaper than some of the new AOS stuff, and it will kill the eBay market a bit too, so the broken old stuff on there might have a better price 😂.
As to when, I’d guess next year now, think Epic Heresy will get most the focus for a while.
New stuff will have larger bases.
Yep absolutely, I’ve already put my skeletons on 25s, and the cavalry are on bigger bases as well (bit of an educated guess there, all discussed in the video).
@@volcano3493 Good point. I just need to get some 25mm bases for what I have.
For THA LADY! Wait...no! FOR THE PHARAOOOO!
😆
Great stuff Stuart- can I ask what spray you’re using whilst gluing
Thank you Paul. It’s super glue activator, amazing stuff, can’t work without it.
please post what paints you use
I’ve just added them to the description, I may have missed some as I’ve done it from memory (I’d have to watch it myself to check 😅).
Great work, Settra next? 😀
I wish I had one to do, eBay prices 😬😅
Great video, I will definitely be used a lot of these techniques as a beginner painter!
I’m planning on basing in chaos black with a rattle can and the trying a 45 degree controlled wraithbone rattle can ‘zenithal’ highlight. After using skeletal horde as you have.
Do you think this would work over dry brushing - I’m just thinking it would save time and I have the can already.
Many thanks for any suggestions!
It’s definitely possible yes, but care will be needed. The cans can have too much power for the subtle effect that’s often needed for zenithal, so you end up having to keep the can too far away, and what happens then is the paint dries in the air before reaching the model, and it can cause a rough surface. Too close and you lose the effect. So it’s possible, but practice first to make sure you don’t mess it up.
I think another option could be just to use Wraithbone, then drybrush white before following the rest of the steps. It will look different, but still good.
Pity you’ll need to rebase the horses to 50x25, looks pretty good though I’m just scraping Mold lines and assembling my TK box set skellies, so many models here to assemble…..
Yeah it was a gamble that didn’t pay off, all sorted now though.
Are you thinning out any of these contrasts?
Sometimes but not always, I usually mention it on the video (but I may forget at times).
Great tutorial. It's just a shame the TK range is still mainly models that are 20+ years old. For asking what they are for the box, that's kinda taking the piss IMHO. I'm pretty sure those Skeleton Horses are even older, unless they redid them at some point.
Thank you. They’re definitely still the old ones now.
Amazing work on the Tomb Kings! I'm hoping they have less cartoony skeletons with the upcoming release.
By the way, what kind of airbrush do you use? The zenithal highlight is way faster than slap chop.
Thank you 🙂
I use a Harder & Steebeck Infinity CR Plus 2 in 1, it’s towards the higher end of the market though, definitely could go cheaper for more simple jobs like zenithal.
Is it confirmed we are switching to 25 mm bases for the old world ?
Yes that is the one base size that definitely been confirmed, all other base size changes are guesses right now.
Where did you get the file for 30 by 60 bases?
I made them myself on my iPad, they’re not very good as I really don’t know what I’m doing 😂
Did you do anything to the pigment powder after you applied it to affix?
No, when it’s brushed into textures on a base it stays just fine, and sealing it would take away much of the dusty effect I’m after. I do fix pigment as well, but when I use it like this I’ve found it’s really not needed.
Lovely. Do you seal the pigment on the base or the model itself?
No not with this application, it completely changes the look. The pigment on the base is brushed into all the texture, I blow the excess off, you’d be surprised how well it stays. Similar with any in the shields, I blow the excess off, and it stains the surface. As long as you don’t get them wet you’re fine.
Do you know exactly what model number of Scenics you used?
Which Scenics are you referring to? I’ll happily check if I still have them.
@@MiniatureRealms At 22:36, you're applying a reddish bush and a yellower one with lighter tips on top to the bases. I'm referring to those two.
@Tideriongaming Got you. The brownish one is from Warpaint Figures, wasteland or something like that I think (2mm). The other is from Warpainter Scenics, 4mm but can remember the name and it doesn’t say on the box.
@@MiniatureRealms No worries. Thank you for the information.
Would you have considered airbrushing the shields?
Umm I airbrushed with the underpainting, so that’s added the transition, the rest is easy enough after. Of course you can, but there’s still a lot of trim on many of them, so the time saved it really minimal if any.
Had to laugh about the Tomb King pricing comment. It’s likely that the GW pricing will be much cheaper than current eBay prices so I’ve decided to wait for the box😂
Strange times indeed 😆
Oh god i'm staring at some cold one knights and really dont want to complete them with the old base. Nowhere selling proper gw style bases at 30x60mm yet
I’ve made a huge guess here, could be wrong so I wouldn’t worry for now. The only Cav we’ve seen in pictures are Brets (which I’m fairly confident are on 30x60 or something close), these could very well stay on 25x50, I’d be wary.
@@MiniatureRealms even more complicated is my old sorceress on dark Pegasus, the '95/'96 version. Is on a 24x50 cavalry, but as she's a HQ maybe not a cavalry? I've been told it should be a 50x50 square but now that unicorn model has been teased that looks like it's on something like a 50x60? Mind bottling 😆
Yeah I think 50x50 was the 8th Ed size, hopefully they release the TOW sizes sooner rather than later.
Nice tutorial Stuart. You missed an opportunity to paint the weapons like bronze age weapons.
Thank you. These are more ‘Age of Settra’ 😆
@@MiniatureRealms I am looking forward to the Tomb Kings and Bretonnians coming back back I have zero faith in GW pricing them reasonable and having proper stock. Then I have to wonder how long before they drop this game like they have the tendency to do. Would love to paint Tomb Kings as I was starting that army when they blew up Warhammer Fantasy and I sold what I had. Wish I kept the stuff ah well.
How long it lasts will be all down to how well it sells (hopefully it’s good and the community gives it a fair crack). We have seen what happens when things like Heresy sell welll, they get second editors with more plastic, now I don’t think it will be as popular, but if it can sell like Middle Earth I think it will be safe and continue to see new stuff.
@@MiniatureRealms I have a feeling it will sell good because of the subject matter but we all know what GW does to popular items. I am hoping for reasonable pricing and a measure of safety that the game won't suddenly vanish like it did. Course this is GW and I honestly have zero faith in them.
They need to revamp some of the aging Middle Earth miniatures. I have a big collection but I doubt I will add to it anymore unless I buy Theodred foot and mounted for Rohan as he is the only royal family member I don't have foot and mounted models of.
I think TOW will run very similar to MESBG, with replacement of older models being very slow. This just won’t do the kinds of numbers that will give the studio the budget for that sadly, at least at first anyway, we’ve seen what happened with HH.
so for us brish folkd black they a bit of slap chop and then away we go ? ok will give it a go thanks
Yep black with dry brush white works, you could also prime in grey and then dry brush white as well.
bad lungs i try not to spray unless i really have to , but all good i have around 900 ish undead i best get cracking @@MiniatureRealms
Is this just stuff gathered off eBay? No model releases or repackages?
Yep just eBay, nothing has been repackaged or released yet.
@@MiniatureRealms Thanks!
why did games workshop make dwarf models so small, in their own lore a dwarf stands 4.5 foot tall to 5.2 fet tall, in their WHFRP lore, so why did they make the warhammer fantasy battles dwarfs so small? was itr the cost of making bulky bigger models? im using highland dwarf models thaat are to the height they are said to be in the Lore, not the game and they are much bigger but fit in better
It all depends on the era of miniature really, they’ve changed quite a lot over the years. When I printed Highlands Dwarves I did so at 88%, I felt 100% was way too big for my needs, but again it’s all about the context of the models they’re standing next to.
however in all the WHFRP books it does state they roughly no less tyhan 4 feet, but if you go throu8gh all warhammer dwarfs upto 8th none of them reach 4 feet and are only slighlty taller than than a halfling when they should be 1-2 feet taller, and dwarfs should eyesight should be about at a mans nose @@MiniatureRealms
they seem to have corrected the size for AOS dwarfs by the look of it @@MiniatureRealms
but upto the last warhammer a dwarfs eyeline would be to a mans chest which goes against their own lore dwarfs arnt that small its jus that they are bulkly and slighly less tall than a human @@MiniatureRealms
from warhammer fantasy Roleplay 1st edition :
"Physique
Dwarfs are short creatures, about five feet in height, but very broadly-built, which makes them ideally suited to underground living, tunnelling and mining. Their skin is the same shade as that of humans and their hair colour varies a great deal, although the Norse Dwarfs tend to be red-haired or blonde."@@MiniatureRealms
Looking good. :)
Thank you
@@MiniatureRealms Hope you find more Tomb King models at a decent price before the re-release. :)
I may have just done so 🙂
@@MiniatureRealms Lovely, congrats!
