- Can you paint Warhammer Army with only drybrushing? Sure...but what about using only Make Up brushes? While I don't consider techniques used in thsi video to be speedpainting, you can get high quality results very fast!
These Necrons from the Indomitus Box set have been sitting on my shelf for a lon time - now it's time to PAINT THEM! Painting warhammer armies is always a burden and it's your best bet to speedpaint them and retain the the quality as high as possible. Can this be done with drybrushing though?
Drybrushing gets a bad rep in miniature painting world. It's easy technique which is suitable for beginners, but it can also be used to get great results as well!

Done!
Even your drybrushing comes out cleaner than my anything, I know it's an over saturated market, but more videos for people struggling to paint well are always appreciated
As a hobbiest I thank you for the video. As a teacher I thank you for saying hypothesis and not theory.
Brilliant! I myself am preparing for a almost entirely drybrushed TMM necron Army. I will definitely be keeping your tips about brush technique in mind!
I absolutely love this style. I'm going to use it myself at some point. It'll be nice to let loose and not worry about tiny little highlight brushes.
Love the skill and the passion. My favourite painting channel by far.
Just wanted to say thank you so much for your channel! There are loads of youtubers mind of talking about very complex things which can make painting an army a bit high pressure. Dry brushing base layers is a game changer, followed up with some normal brush work as well
dey brushing is one of my favorite painting styles and i experiment with it a lot. it's so fun and fast and i painted a whole AoS ghost army as fire ghost in no time at all
insane idea + insane tools + incredible tallented man =
amazing results. You`re TOP !
When I first got into painting minis, like, 25 years ago, all I had were cheap thrift store acrylic paints and makeup brushes. This video is so nostalgic.
Inspiring. It shows once again that color choice is much more important than smoothness.
After dry brushing I find that a light wash makes the granularity mostly go away, it kills a bit of vibrancy and darkens a bit but you can that that into account and make the colours a bit lighter first, then wash, and then a bit of edge highlight.
Excellent suggestion, will try this on my next Ork thank you😊
Stippling FTW! Awesome results, might I add. I use a decent amount of stippling on my droid army for Star Wars Legion. It really goes a long way to give them the weathered look that I'm going for. I do you a makeup brush, and I really like the results, and you can't argue with the price! I need to find smaller brushes...thanks for the reminder! Lol
He didn't say "no" with a stern face, the best part of the videos, what do I do now?
This goes directly to what I asked about in a previous video, on how you develop a style. This is a style, it's not a 'for fun' challenge as much as it's a method to create an interesting result that is eye catching and looks good. Is it evocative and deep? Eh, that's a high bar for miniature painting, so that's more reserved for truly outstanding one in ten million models, but this is definitely a great end result with less effort than pain staking detail painting.
Also, as GW's Peachy explained, this is how his dad with parkinsons (or some similar disease) had to paint his models after getting sick: By using a new method that he could do while shaking. Something that someone like the guy from Black Magic Craft who has 'tremors' could benefit from.
As an aside, could pink and orange help in copper NMM? There's a lot of play in that metal color. I don't know how you'd do it with drybrushing, but teal for some verdigris could also easily spice them up. I think.
The Brush-Magician has returned. Amazing as always! I imagine, this technique would work on Marines as well, don't you think?
Really depends, personally don't prefer drybrushed textured look on marines... But! If it was combined with oil wash and more bright edge highlights, it could be nice
This would be a fantastic way to get an army painter super quickly, and to be honest better then most of my paintjobs as well haha. Very entertaining video Zumikito :
Looking at this video three times again and again and it looks great, how you are working with everything. Looks so easy but on desk is not that easy 😂😂😂 great video
I literally just tweeted to tabletopminions 6 days ago with an image of those exact brushes, thanking him for the tip on those type of brushes. then your video comes out. cheers for having the eye of sauron!
You truly are a master of the craft
I don't watch this channel very often, but every time, it's BOOM: Magic trick.
Yup! I just stared the hobby and EVERYONE just said to me "buy the cheaper Make-up brushes you can find" and got some very similar to 0:44 . And from my limited experience, yeah, they do the job pretty well, IMO well enough I may stick to them for a long time before committing to real expensive drybrushes.
Probably won't attempt to do minis JUST with make-up brusher ever, but I need to find a dampening pad for myself.
Pekné video. Inšpiroval si ma. Ďakujem.
Damn they look so good that I'll do this to my Necron warriors, if it looks good on mine everything besides characters will be drybrushed, thanks!
Great vid man! Really enjoying the content! 🔥
Those turned out great!
4:01 dat mouldline tho
Artist opus videos are really good for drybrushing techniques.
Had a go at this and considering I'm amateur at best I'm super happy with the results. Had one of those Skorpekh Lord models I got for cheap second hand and used it as a base model. Already had the magenta and luminous green/yellow paints, but added some bright, light blue to it as well as some orange. The blue works really nice for colour shifting from yellow to magenta.
Necrons are super rewarding this way. Actually did this for my KT and finishing a whole force in one evening is absolutely dope.
i learn more from a single Zumikito video than i do from painting a whole army.
The intro where you were opening all the brushes is amazing, it made me laugh out loud. Great video.
Next model I paint I’m stealing this scheme
Yes basically the whole video is exactly what I'm telling everybody about drybrushing and stippling - for gaming needs those are the best tools at Your disposal :)
1) I would disregard the dampening pad totally. It does not work at all in my opinion and only smudges paint. If You will keep all Your paints on the wet pallete this should work well enough.
2) For OSL and weapons in my opinion You've used too much paint and rushed it. By using a much much much more dried brush You will get far more smooth transitions.
3) I think a little bit of wash would improve the overall effect, maybe oil washes? Still having bad memories with them? ;)
In the end the effect is really nice. I especially like the bronze effect - it looks fantastic! Sad that You did not include the full army picture at the end.
One thing I've found out is that a cheap rattlecan gloss varnish blends the grainy dusty parts, and creates a smooth blend finish, which removes the contrast, but - you get a a glossy surface for oil washing and capilar work, which really works with these kinds of texture recess models like necrons. You might wanna save time and just drybrush/overbrusb the mid tone heavily on black primer and on exposed parts, and precise drybrush/stippling with tinted white on exposed parts (when your brush is full you stipple and overbrush/drybrush the exposed parts, and when it's fine drybrush phase you drybrush the shade black primer parts.
After the oil washes you will get some color vibrancy, and after the oil sets (couple of days) you can overbrush/drybrush smooth surface to produce edge higlighting with oils and some even more blends
These look great and the two colours complimenting the metallics are great! Seems like a very possible path to more quickly complete larger armies (primarily dry brushing).
So cool idea, I have to try this! :D
Looks great! The dusty weathered look dry brushing creates works really well for necrons.
Dude, so brilliant work, i LOVE your tutorials and your style of work. Awesome.
I don't have any words... It's amazing mate! I like your nice videos 🤠
Yeah, insane video as always! I devour all of your content, thank you very much for these awesome clips!
Really cool dude. I picked up a big pack of makeup brushes, plus some my wife gave me and have used those for dry brushing a dragon. I didn't know about stipling at that point. But I did after watching your videos. They are awesome. Thanks for your efforts.
Oh and I think that using washes / oils with conjunction of drybrushing will give GOOD effects fast, might be wrong though.
Great looking necrons! I’m going to use these techniques to paint my Deff dread.
Superb! Great experiment, great results, great fun video! 👍😁
Next on Zumikito's channel: i survive in the wild by painting with beard hairs on a piece of wood and homemade paint i hunted for
Looks awesome!! I’m definitely going to try it. I already use them for just dry brushing.
Ya know, it's been a minute since I've been able to catch a vid, but I've definitely still been watching! Keep up the great work brutha!
Great experiment - the results are amazing!
Brilliant video! And a very nice result
Absolutely genius!!🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Love this color scheme!
Week ago I finished my first space marine using make-up brush for armor. Smaller details like imperialis, metallic elements and weapon I painted using normal brush and layering. I stopped at battle ready standard and must say I am really happy with result.
That's a really nice end result!
You rock thank you for this
Now i know how my necrons will be looks like
Iv always heard to use these or old brushes for dry brushing and after seeing this ima pick up a set
Just picked up some brushes myself... Really hope I can use them even half as good as this
Awesome video, though. As an army painter, this sort of thing makes me happy in the pants. Thank you for making this!!!
your method is wonderfull , thank you
I actually use make up brushes for big parts dry brushing, but this is at a whole other level, need to test it! now onto the stipling video!
Brilliant, new video very interesting, thanks.
Great experiment!! thanks to give us
Thanks for a plesant video. Will try out more stippeling. I almost always use some drybrushing on my minis. Good job
You've earned my like and sub, sir!
Awesome!
I've been trying to convince my boyfriend to use blending or packing brushes for drybrushing highlights! Also using glitter eyeshadow/highlighter or chrome nail powder is great for adding iridescent metallic shine/glitter/pearlescent effects cheap :)
i thought I was real slick using cheap, dollar store make up brushes for all my miniatures. Turns out everyone's been using them for quite some time now. Nothing new under the sun, as they say. Also, those size packs you were holding up can definitely be found at said dollar stores (decent ones, at least) and they usually run me about $3. Worth looking into, if you have those in you area. A penny saved is a penny earned, as they say. I'm gonna go now. (have a great week)
I might try this for my blue nautical deathguard 🤔
i chopped an old big brush down into the same size and shape as an artis opus drybrush a while back, followed one of their terrain tutorials with it and it turned out exactly the same. 80$ is wayyy to much for a dry brush, a fine liner maybe, but even then it'd have to be actually magic.
That looks great! Nice to add more tools to the toolbox :)
great easy nmm copper for me thanks !
This takes “ wearing makeup “ to another level
showed my girlfriend your video, she now refers to you as 'Big Beard'
top notch stuff m8
fun fact I used to paint my Orks with this technique... It give them rougher looking skin
All mt chaos are dry brushed. it's a great look.
I'm using these cheap brush for drybrush which it surprised me that it work.
The overlap between the cosmetics community and the modelling community is actually sort of insane 😂
Agreed.
Nail art products are a gold mine for ways to give your minis a unique edge but there are surprisingly few videos that really explore them despite how great the results can be with such little effort compared to freehanding
Honestly makeup brushes was my most useful brush set, my rubor brush I still use for dry brushing and for brush priming, and not to get into the size 0 brush which somehow is better at it than the mini painting size 0 brush I've got.
4:03 that mouldline thou...
Curious, you didn’t specify in the video if you preferred the makeup brushes over the Artis Opus ones. I’m looking at purchasing the AO dry brush kit myself, but if the makeup brushes work as well as for a lot less money, I’d be swayed. Have to figure in longevity as well.
For me it makea no difference. Save yourself money and use them make up brushes! Also some bristles on my AO brushes are falling off, so it's unlikely they are gonna last 8x longer to be worth it.
Absolutely no offense to the guy over at Artis Opus, he's a really cool guy but dude the business ends of those expensive drybrushes look exactly like the little $1 makeup brushes I get at the DG!! The ones from the dollar store do not actually work as well when moist though because that causes them to leave lines but still, it's uncanny. Same shape and appears to be the same density too.
I just subscribed and I already started saying paaaaint
Good video Mr 🥰🐶
Simply nice ; )
A great video, as I'm painting my first squad of Necron Warriors I wish I had thought to do them will all drybrushing instead! Definitely next time to help speed things up at least for base coats :)
Brilliant result and big ups to you, dear Sir! Obviously only works with something like Necrons, right? Chaos Space Marines would be far more difficult..
I have been using makeup brushes for ever, my wife has a make up store and I can get all sorts of brushes there, and having using paiting brushes as well I prefer the makeup ones, very good and 3 times as cheaper as the paiting ones.
Sure, you say you wouldn't use drybrushes for Tyranids. But have you tried yet? Who knows, maybe it would work. If nothing else, it seems like a good experiment.
As for the Necrons, I think they came out well. Good job.
Love this video, awesome work. Out of curiosity, how would approach doing an orange blade on those larger models?
Please do mire vids of doing just make up brush
You should remove mold lines with files or sandpaper, they are super visible
You are great painter . wery usfuls video !!!! and realy cooll trick with brushes. Have you got how paint plasma weapons?
How to paint Necrons:
Line minis in a row
Spray paint black
Spray paint silver
Instant Necron army!
Even those make up brushes are higher line. They make ones for less a dollar
When performing a cost analysis between the expensive dry brushes and the makeup brushes, I think people need to look at how well they hold up over time.
If properly taken care of, how many paint jobs can you complete with each type?
Those makeup brushes looked pretty beat up and in bad shape after just a short bit. So if you have to keep buying more cheap brushes, it may just be a better value to invest in a good set that you can keep for years.
I think it was the small eyeliner make up brushes that suffered the most, but the soft make up blending brushes look still 100%
Absolutely great video! Can you please share the list of those 1k Necrons?
It's indomitus box half
Next challenge should be painting with your beard¡¡
None matalics look fine in my opinion but i feel like true matalics are better especially with glossy minis and alowing actual light to give them the the light reflections on the metal and everything else
How do you clean your dry brushes between colors in a session like this?
Either wash them with hand/dish soap or use other ones, since you probably have more in the set. Set aside dirty ones and clean them later
When building up layers and such, you don't have to/shouldn't clean the brushes since having the previous paint on the brush, makes the transition smoother.
Otherwise, just clean them as any other brush.
