I get asked a lot how I paint so fast so I thought I'd do a simple video showing how I work. I am not a painter but maybe it will help someone. Also I talk through the process of planning this command unit for my Stanley War of the Roses army.
As regular viewers of the Plastic Crack Podcast will know Martin (7th Son) has been conducting a long ringing campaign to subvert all of us to painting War of the Roses armies. Despite knowing little about the period I have thrown myself into it painting up a decent force of Stanley infantry mainly from Perry Plastics with a few metals thrown in for variety. I can honestly say I haven't enjoyed a project more for sometime - but don't tell Martin that....

Wouldn't say you were cheating Dom - that is just your painting process and it looks awesome. And the more you paint, the better your army looks and the more you say you enjoy the hobby and at arms length, on a 6 foot table, amongst serried ranks, they look just as good as the super high detail stuff people spend 10x+ longer on.
I do similar to you - various contrast paint basecoats over primer for the block colours, tidy it all up with some quick highlights to also hide the slips and the misses and then agrax (all hail the Earthshade) to finish up.
cheers mate - yeah I try and keep it simple and hopefully effective!
Excellent video, just the perfect length. The figures and basing look great.
thanks very much
Very nice, well done. Keep those knights coming. 👍⚔🏹🛡🗡
Thanks, will do!
Really enjoy these project logs.
cheers mate
Great tutorial - thanks for sharing your approach 👍. Love your WotR vids.
My pleasure!
Cracking job Dom, they look great
cheers Sean
I did enjoyed watch this video . The tutorial is very effective . The base looks good as well .
Glad it was helpful!
They look great. No matter what technique you use you can always see something new in painting videos. I am constantly changing my style. Sometimes I stick with the new. Other times I revert back to tried and trusted ways. Glad I am not the only one to have trouble with flags.
So true!
Hi Dom, you bring to light, the tendancies of individuals to change sides and allegencies on a whim. The mere mention of more titles or estates could swing loyalty within hours. perhaps this could be a rule which could be used in a game and, a conveniant way to bring reinforcements to the field, especially if you dont have sufficient stands to fill out your troop numbers?. I am not a wargamer, so please ignore if I am taliking out of my backside haha!
yeah its a very 'fluid' situation for most Lords! Martin is working on some special rules to try and reflect this but you do have to be a little careful as it can rather destroy a game if Lords swap sides to easily!
Wonderful tutorial Dom. Thanks for showing this off and your thinking behind it all.
Glad you liked it!
Good work Dom.
Much appreciated
Very nice Dom. 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
7th Son got me painting them too! #Iblamemartin
yeah its all his fault
Quick yet very effective tutorial Dom. Thanks for sharing. Really enjoying the content.
Glad you enjoy it!
Thank you.
You're welcome!
great video thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching!
This is a great project and you have certainly got on with it. It looks superb and will do so even more on the table top.
Thanks so much!
nice work dom don't knock it they look good
Thanks 👍
Loving this Dom such a good project, nice look of sploshing around the English Country side all the best, Garry
Thank you! Cheers!
Really enjoyed this Dom,nice to see how you complete such wonderful work
Thank you! Cheers!
Fantastic video Dom great to see your methods of completing these wotr miniatures and the results look great on the livery also the armour around the jaw is called a bevor it’s removable
cheers mate - I knew someone would know!
Nice, i am going to have to get some of that mud and water effect product I like the spray varnish idea after tufting, over the years my grass always fall off so my bases bald like an old mans noggin.
yeah it works well with the Geek Gaming basing materials which I usually use on my bases
The figures came out nice Dom. Sometimes getting a whole army looks better than 1 or 2 painted to top level. Depends on what you want I guess lol. Interesting to see the base come together too
that's always been my approach
"Don't TEMPT me Frodo!" - putting on the hobby blinkers a lot these days with all you gents doing WOTR
It's certainly dangerous seeing everyone's work
Nice work, Dom! I've been using PCP methods on my WOTR project and it's made a nice change from Napoleonic uniforms .... so much faster!
Very cool! Yeah much less fiddly for sure
Thank you , Dom.
It's all Martins fault !
It's true!
Really interesting to see your process. Theres no such thing as 'cheating' in painting, its all just process using tools and equipment, if there's something that makes that easier, it's not cheating. You put your painting down far too much Dom, your painting is far better than you give yourself credit for.
Cheers mate - it's just I see the wonderful work some people do and I feel inadequate. But yeah mine are OK
I'm not sure it's heraldically kosher to have two individuals with the same arms.
if you don't tell anyone I wont
@@BootsontheTable my lips are sealed.
Nice work..cheater.
