I really enjoyed this video. We are seeing too much of reality TV seep into the hobby with 24 hour challenges, paint one mini in 1 hour etc. This was a breath of fresh air to remind us of why we love the hobby and set unrealistic goals sometimes. The best part for me was that y'all were happy with what you've done at the end which is the most important part. Love the paint schemes and great editing!!!
I totally agree! It just isn't a realistic target for people (myself included), and I think it can make people feel a little down about their own progress. I've tried (and failed) at loads of 24-hour videos because life often gets in the way, and that is ok! 😀 also, thanks for the kind words!
Yeah, I had to tell myself that it'll take 2 or 3 sittings for me to finish one scarab occult terminator, thought I'd have the whole squad painted in a couple days🤣
So, I've really enjoyed the old Squidmar challenge vids where he had friends over and jammed some crazy challenges.
That said, I 💯 % agree that it was really refreshing to see this natural , honest, take on painting and building some minis. I'm a bit inspired by it. Thank you for making it. This is the first vid I've seen from BW, but it got my subscription, I look forward to more. Hopefully, an update when finished?
I can paint 666 minis in under 15 minutes which means I'm a better person than you!
I couldn't bring myself to rush through painting a miniature like in these challenges. Far too stressful for something that i love to sink my concentration in.
About 10 years ago, I decided to repaint my 200+ Tyranids. They were still in the original color schemes, with some in orange and others in blue/purple, with the skill of someone who had been painting for a couple of days. I decided I wanted one swarm scheme too. But ... I had four kids and a wife. My hobbies were always placed at the bottom of the pile (and 40K is expensive). So, I decided to share color schemes between my Tyranids and Space Marines (Imperial Fists). Boltgun for bone, Yellow for skin, and blood red for exposed muscles. This combo was easy to paint and cheap. It was much, much faster than my old schemes. Add a black wash and some white highlights and it is quick, easy, and cheap. Thus, I completed my Hive Fleet Maelstrom. :)
Of course, part of the speed did come from painting the same layers on piece after piece. By the time I finished one layer, the first pieces were dry and I could start on the next layer.
The Tyranid color scheme turned out amazingly good. I was pleasantly surprised. Well-done!
IMO it's actually hard to screw up Tyranids.
in the most Irish accent ever: "becausemydelicatelittle LAAAADY hands were getting sore" 🤣Never change.
Ah, Beejaysus
It’s weird how Ciara has a distinct Irish accent generally and I think nothing of it but I also got to that same exact phrase and thought “omg that’s the Irishest anybody has ever been” 😂
😅😅😅😅😅
She has a light accent
Cringe comment 🤢
The Tyranid color scheme turned out really good!
Thanks! I really wasn't sure about it (as I had several schemes I liked), but it looked alright in the end! Just a few more to do too.
It did?
This video is honestly so amazing it helps show people that it really does take more time than you think especially for new beginners, I currently work 24/7 so finding time to just paint is very difficult especially when one mini can take me 5-6 hours. Everyone has their own pace and this video helps bring that to light.
Lol really, 24/7!!! Impossible but nice hyperbole.
Having seen the Nids in the Broadsword shop last week, the colour scheme and the bases are class. Well done to you both, it is a commitment to bang out these big boxes to a deadline. Can't wait to tackle these myself.
Nice job on all of the figures, ESPECIALLY given all of the store/family/editing you had to accomplish as well! Grats you two!
Thank you for the realistic approach to painting. I always appreciate that both of you speak to the importance of your lives away from the painting table, too.
Always love your videos and the authenticity of them. Was good to see the new boxset painted aswell, those space marine sculpts have come along way since my first set in the 90s. keep up the great vids both and thank you for sharing.
Your Tyranid distaste DISPLEASES the Four Armed Emperor
FOR THE EMPEROR.
Guys please look after your lungs, rattle cans indoors with no mask is not good long term. Love the vid
Exactly!! Even an open windows with a box fan going out would be better than nothing.
I've been using rattle cans for decades and while long term use in confined spaces is not good for you, once or twice in four months isn't going to do one in.
I’ve noticed that in their videos pray their health stays well 🙏
Huffing paint and glue is like half the reason I buy models though
For real I thought that was a joke. What normal person uses rattle can inside? And where is the mask? Even outside you should use one when spraying.
Great team work with excellent results. Both armies are going to be amazing when fully done
Looks class! All ways so impressed by the quality and detail you put in! Good job
2:56 Braver than any (space) marine: Wearing black to spray white indoors [Just realized I wore black to spray white today]
"You didn't drill out your gun barrels" -That guy :D
Haha. "ACKTUALLLY".
@@BroadswordWargaming lol. But seriously. You got a wow out of me. Very nicely done for such a short time frame.
I’d forgotten that Paul Bettany had his own painting channel.
I'll take that. It's normally him or Rik Mayall haha.
I'm planning on doing a Starcraft Zerg-style scheme for my first Tyranids, and this gave me some great ideas for how to do the purples and greens. Awesome job!
Great scheme! Now add some votanns for a great diorama :D
Great work guys. Super keen to get my box in a couple weeks
Lovely jobs! Love the Flesh Tearers results, and the light-armored 'nids, however I think I kinda like them on the dark slate city rubble bases sans the snow effects. It makes their brighter color scheme pop a bit more I think. Still two thumbs up. 👍👍
Great video, really enjoyed that! Nice work
Nice video, I'm still painting mine. One recommendation I would make with this box is to just do the combat patrols first. Yes the big screamer killer is lovely but it's not part of the combat patrol so leave it until later. That way you feel like you are achieving something cohesive sooner, although I am breaking up the Termagants into t20 chunks and painting something more exiting in-between.
Amazing job! Personally I am a fan of taking my time on miniatures, it is fun and relaxing to slowly paint things up.
Thanks! I agree, we should enjoy the process, it's a hobby after all! :)
good stuff guys,, i like the space marines paint scheme...looks cool as
Looks great. I can't wait to see the models up close.
I'm inspired! Fun to watch and motivating... thanks guys.
I think you are both excellent painters. Great work.
The whole Tyranid scheme wound up looking incredible. Especially due to the white snow/carapace combo and the mouth gore.
I'm new to painting and building Warhammer, and have fortunately managed to get a Leviathan box. I really appreciate this video. Thank you.
Ciara's faces are amazing, I know you did a video on faces once before but please can we see another, her painting skill has come on amazingly since her first mini. And your stuff is good as well Oliver🤣
Great vid guys, two excellent looking armies!
Great stuff! Next time I’m in Castlebar, I must drop in.
Please do! 😀
Great video you two, and the minis are looking deadly. Nice to see Flesh Tearers in a video as well!
Thanks 👍 Appreciate the kind words! Must get you over at some point, get some paint on that grey!
I love love love that tyranid scheme so much for some reason i was thinking of doing tyranids i might go with a scheme similar like that
These look fantastic. Great work.
Thank you! Cheers! :)
Awesome paint job makes me
Want to get back into it!
Love these vids from these guys, Ciara for some reason reminds me of Mrs Doyle when she does voiceovers 😂
It's so nice to see an honest video on how long it really takes to paint a model! You should both be proud as your paintjobs are excellent 😊
Cool video man, I like the colour schemes. Very neat!
I felt like this video didn't have enough views for the amount of work you put in and I thought maybe this one comment would tip the algorithm scales lol.
Haha, thanks so much! All the support is appreciated. Glad you like the colours, I wasn't sure, but I like them now. 😀
Ciara's paint has come such a long way. Keep up the great work.
amazing models and paintjob!
I like this video very much. Motivates me to keep up my hobby😎
Superb video! Been painting since I was 12...I'm 37 now. The painting never ends! 👍🏼
Well done looks awesome!
Thank you for this interesting and insightful video!!
You're welcome!
I think what you two achieve running a business and a young family is awesome, Always gives me a kick to stop procrastinating and get on with it
Cool! Great job all around
loving the snow bases!
Love the video!
Great to see Ciara back!
Great video - I've subscribed!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for subscribing 😀
When I built and painted my Blizzard Force for Star Wars Legion, it took me 2 months, about 20 models (5 vehicles included)
Great video!
nice work , keep on your good stuffs
I... kind of really like tyranids with a white carapace. I haven't even started collecting yet, and when I do I plan on getting CSM.. but weirdly nids look fun to paint.
They look great, wish i could highlight like that.
you,re to harsh with yourself, i think its a fun easy scheme that fits really well in the snow! before you said you used snow bases, i wanted to comment that they loo like they evolved to hunt in the tundra, kinda like snowy dinosaurs - esque... i would be proud and happy to play games with these. fun video - and "dont pressure yourself " is always good advice
Great video. I like the nid scheme, looks cool. Going for true 90s red/bone for mine, with the marines naturally being Dark Angels 😎 #ForTheLion
I can’t wait for my leviathan box I preordered it through my local hobby shop now I’m just waiting for the calm to go pick it up
Love the videos, my Leviathan has been dispatched today!
Great video. I'm painting my Tyranids Pink, Grungy White and cyan
That sounds great! 👌
Yay! Broadsword big box paint montage ❤
Hope you enjoyed it!
I think the most important thing to say to a newbie is that it really doesn't take long, as scary as it looks, the paints especially the shade paints really do bring out the model so it looks fantastic with little effort.
you guys are so skilled at painting,so skilled.
Awesome job, Thank you
Thanks for watching!
so i have a nid army, and well... it took me i wanna say close to 2 weeks to paint as well, tho i didnt have the leviathan box, i had the combat patrol starter box... fair note i did partially start my blood angels, as i wont be using the space marine combat patrol, as stat wise, they feel.... bad.... idk... but yeah... it definately takes time, and the more time you spend the better they can turn out. i recommend you ask around at your local hobby shop that sells 40k sets and stuff, find the experienced painters and ask for help. my first minis painted were geller pox infected kill team, and they turned out really well for a first time painting, but after getting that brush work experience, and learning tips and tricks from other painters, my nids turned out way better than if i just went along with what i learned strictly from the gellerpox, ie i wouldnt have the edge highlights on the armour plates, i never wouldve washed them with the right shade if at all, the only reason i washed the geller pox was to sickify them with a green overtone... so yeah... all in all, dont be afraid to try new things, and always reach out to those around you with more time doing what you find interesting to get a better understanding of what your doing. also while i do agree, having a base line for what you want in the end, dont be afraid to tweak it mid project if you like something else... my marines changed lke 3 times and are probably going to change a bit more before i finish them lol
Thanks guys, very nice work. I appreciate the "different" scheme on the Tyranids and the only thing to improve the Marines would be if they were Blood Angels lol. :>)
I enjoyed this video! For the snow effect did you just brush water on then sprinkle on the snow? Does it stay stuck do you need to spray sealant or something on afterwards?
I'm really respecting a painting video that acknowledges that people don't always have time to get much done.
Great Job on both armies! Also, relationship goals!
Thanks! Yeah, it's good to have a painting buddy, and it's even better to help each other out when one gets bored of a particular stage.
the models do look good ! Now what would you do differently if you had extra time ? Also what if anything would you add to each force from your backlog of models ? I am thinking getting that pile of 'shame' (possibility ?) down.
Great video. Thanks... and I am on Ciaras side "anything is better than tyranids" (damn I really hate painting them)
aside to this: I really like the look of your armies. the marines from ciara are awesome. but I really like the color scheme and the job done on the tyranids (as much as I hate painting them by myself)
Depends on the time you allocate to it and your ability. I still have some of my third edition models unpainted...
Very nice video! The marines are awesome. The tyranids look good, but they lack some colour on the carapace....but that is just me because I really like colorful armies.
Thanks! Yeah, I'm not a fan of colourful Tyranids myself. The schemes I liked both had pretty flat, glossy carapaces. I've seen some awesome colourful ones though! :)
Maybe we missed it, but, how long DID it take? I’m not sure that question actually got directly answered? :)
Great video, you may not have needed to ZP those minis given how thick your base colours were, and could perhaps saved a little time here and there but the outcome was pretty damn good, not to mention I’ve got so many unfinished projects that I now feel shamed into actually cracking on with one of our boxes.
Thanks for the video.
Never painted before, don’t even have a set. I’m slowly getting into Warhammer for obvious reasons, the universe is sick. Was just curious if there’s a Skaven set to paint? I really love those guys!
Hey! welcome to the hobby. Yeah, you can get yourself a Skaven Vanguard set from Age of Sigmar. That has loads of cool stuff in and is a great set to pick up. You can also grab one of the Paint and Tool sets for Age of Sigmar, they're really good value and give you a good set of paints and tools to start wtih. :)
i want the Space Marine 2 game!!! cant wait
Ah yeah, that'll be soo good!
Question!
Have you ever tried using Crayola's air brush kit?
Im just asking, because not all have the resources for a pro airbrush kit.
Would be interesting to see if it's up to standard ❓
that red on the space marines looks incredible
Those Tyranids look awesome 👌
Walked into a Games Workshop last week after never touching a miniature for over 20 and walked out with £65 worth of Tyranids and paints, had no idea they were the new thing but love it. Painted my first few this weekend and I'm gunna be spanding so much monies doing this agn. And btw nobody in the UK pronounced Tyranid like that in the UK in 90s, I had to ask an older collector if I was going mad but he said no, that's was how it used to be pronounced . . . . . Thanks america lol
I only found your channel today purely by random chance. I think the content is great and there are some really helpful painting stips and methods.
Ah amazing! Thank you for the mind words, and welcome to the channel. 😀
takes me like 1-3 hours, sometimes more per model just to prep and assemble... before any painting.
I have seirous OCD when it comes to removing mould lines xD
I take them off with a medal edge, similar to the mould line remover from gw... Then I'll come back with various grits of sandpaper and smooth everything down.
im so excited im getting my own box in 2 days :D
Me looking at the Leviathan set in YT vids: Ooh! Already painted!
Me looking at this video: Oh noooooo
Tyranids are the most fun of the two to paint anyway. I mean Space Marines are great and painting a uniform, armour scheme looks cool. I'm definitely more excited to paint the Nids though.
Cool challenge ! At one point (back when I worked for GW) I could have done the entire contents in about 2 weeks, not so much anymore. I think you both did very well !
Yeah, I could have banger this out, but with kids, the shop work, I just don't have the time! Oh to be young again..
A cardboard box, box fan, and furnace filter will make a nice cheap spray booth to help with the overspray.
Almost a breath of fresh air of someone painting in a realistic time.
First thing that came to my mind
GW: releases something pretty big
Squidmar: We're staying up 24 hours to paint it now!
... alrighty
"I'm not doing a second take its hot in here" - too funny I love it!
aww what a wholesome video If I can just make some room in my subscription list to subscribe to this channel
2nd account it is I cri
That UHU glue idea is pretty cool actually
Great stuff friends 👏 👍
I love the cooperation and distribution of labour based on who likes or dislikes various tasks. It's very much how my fiancée and I get chores done :)
Yeah, it's actually really useful for miniature painting. We painted the HH box together and learned to help each other out with that too. Like yourselves, we are the same around the house! It's good, communication and being able to tell when someone is fed up, is good haha
Ciara regarding zenithal: "...it was super smooth surprisingly."
People like to rag on GW hobby products, but their sprays are actually awesome for smooth zenithal undercoats. I backed-to-backed a few brands and GW sprays seem to be at a higher pressure and produce a finer mist of spray, so zenithals come out less spotty than many other brands.
Nice work 😁
Thanks 😁
If you are me, then you decide to paint a box of 10 sisters aka space nuns and I'm about 3-4 weeks in after buying the battle box thing, and I have the nun squad only mostly pained to a reasonable standard (for me) and no heads completed yet (due to eyes needing me to be a freaking robot with microscopes for eyes and the hands of a fluffy neuro surgeon.) I will get there, looking forward to the flying nuns, but yeah a battle box is likely to take me about 6 months lol, at least.
I considered warhammer once after I flopped in a Magic tournament and wandered into the tabletop room. ."Well this looks fun..."
Then I soon realized all the extra work and money involved on the baubles needed to play....and ran for the hills. Honestly....these gaming companies really do make a simple dice game extraordinarily expensive. Imagine rolling up to a Warhammer game with bits and bobs found around the house representing your army? The rules would really be the same...except you have bits and bobs instead of fancy models....yeah...go home.
My kid wanted to play D&D. So I bought some dice and a couple pads of paper. We are playing D&D.
Very cool, guys! 👍🏻
