Guy's rat voice is giving his grimdark voice a run for it's money! Yes-yes!
Thanks bud!
@@MidwinterMinis It was legitimately really good!
More, "a scamper for it's money". 😄
@@MidwinterMinisI actually hadn't realised it wasn't an official trailer or something O_O
WAIT, that was Guy? It sounded so official I assumed it was from some trailer.
I LOVE SKAVEN
Yes yes yes
Rats, rats, we're the rats.
Best basing tip ever! I can't believe that I've passed up basing so many miniatures, when this simple flag stone method is an option. I'm forever grateful!
It's almost criminally easy!
Completely agree 👍
If you want a slight variation, use cork board instead of card and rip it instead of cut it. A quick spray in primer and a quick dry brush of a base and then highlight color and viola! I get asked with stunning regularity where I bought my bases and/or are they 3D printed and people are shocked that theyre just cork and paint.
If you can get hold of thin craft foam, you can use it instead of card. That way, you can roll a ball of kitchen foil or a rock over the foam before cutting it in to tiles. This can give you a rough texture on the tiles.
That skaven with the super 's' made me laugh way more than it should have
Just need to find the giant rat who makes all of da rulez
Just need to find that damn rat who train's all these Karate Reptiles...
And see what kind of mischief we can get ourselves up to!
That arcane 90's knowledge got you a like from me lmao.
Slate digital?
@@thomasrobertson4213 it's just the cool S, every Gen Xer and Millennial (and a lot of Gen Z) who went through public school in the US knows it
I was there when the ancient knowledge was loosed on the world
Guy, that intro was excellent!
Thanks so much! It was a lot of fun
@@MidwinterMinis I can tell you enjoyed it haha. This is perfect timing also, I just built a screaming bell and saw the Sigmar Lied teaser trailer earlier today. Can't wait for more ratbois!
10:38 instructions unclear, dipped my AirPods in mineral spirits 😔
Oh shit your the guy who kitbashed a maurader from doom eternal with a slaughter priest
@@trash_bandit2479 Yup, that's me 👌
in this video the man-thing gives good-great painting tips on rat-things for the great horned rat! yes yes very good video!
Guy's painting Skaven!?
OUR DAY HAS COME!!
DOOM DAY!
The dedication at the beginning made coffee come out of my nose. Thanks for that. 😂
i really wanna see guy play in a ttrpg with a ratman character now, that intro was so good!!!
How convenient...I just brought out all of my neglected Skaven horde to finally paint/finish painting to them. (Queue in John Stewart) "Do Gooo oon!"
Wonderful video, I use vallejo beige red for my rat skin.
Another couple cheats are using the brown primer washed with agrax for the fur on my clanrats, which saves tones of time, and also using a nice muddy base scheme (vallejo russian mud) so you dont have to spend too much time on the legs/feet of your rats.
Would love to see more Skaven content in the future!
Nice! One for my shopping list :)
Aye, that MWM upload schedule be a cruel mistress,
but she does indeed deliver.
I've only ever put out videos when they're ready, I'd hate to rush it and make something I don't like :) I hope the wait was worth it
I dont paint anymore, but coming back here after ages to watch this video, it feels so good to exist in a world that does not require anything from me for a few minutes. It's really a holiday, just chill and watch some guy paint minis, thanks
Got any spare bits?
that was a hell of a intro!
I never liked how "modern" Skaven have all their fur covered up. My early edition metal blood bowl skaven team have some lovely texture.
If I ever start a second army, this will be it. That intro has convinced me.
Good timing for this with Skaven being announced as the big bad in the next AOS edition
Love the results on it for such low effort and how the green/ magic S symbol looks.
Seeing as MWM discovered Streaking Grime, imagine if he starts doing Oil Wash tutorials 😍😍
Great tutorial! Can’t wait for the range refresh so I can continue my Skaven army, yes-yes!
Just a life-saving tip for anyone cautious that the streaking grime or spirits may reactivate or remove your paint: gloss varnish your mini before you cover it in grime!
These look fantastic. Thank you for doing more of these starter boxes. Nice video. Keep up the good work.
Woah. CZcams’s tariffs for content creators are shamefully low. 😢 Love your painting tutorials, Guy. They were instrumental in getting me started. It’d be a tremendous pity to lose them.
The ratkin from kings of war make great proxies for these. They’re cheaper and look as good if not better
That's a really good shout!
I also want to get a few Mantic games models, specifically their sci-fi range, namely some Mauraders and the Plague
That intro was wonderful, it's a shame another friend in my playgroup has 'dibs-ed' the Rat Mech
Cheers matey!
I LOVE SKAVEN SO MUCH. That intro was insane!
Gods that intro text really spooked me.
10/10
Loved the "arcane knowledge from the mid-90's" bit! 😆You never fail to make me laugh after a long day. Cheers mate, keep it up!
RATS, WE'RE RATS, WE ARE THE RATS
Colour Forge has some amazing products, their Standard Grey is the only spray that actually matches Citadel's Mechanicus Standard Grey; I'll definitely be using your link when I need to restock
How long have I been waiting for the return of the old tube Midwinter minis. Guy, you are the best!❤
I mean... I didn't go anywhere? Haha
@@MidwinterMinisby my reckoning, the last "Here are some Warhammer units, here's how to paint them" video you did was 6 months ago (with the Salamanders)
@@abefaerber7994 Awwww, does HeroQuest not count? :(
Totally agree, feels back to MWM roots. Need more of this Guy!
so simple yet so dark and elegant for new and returning painters... thank u so much for making these videos keep up the great work
Great video and painting tutorial, timely and great steps to get an army on the table.
More more, yes yes. More more want need!
Loved the music in this one, also always been a big fan of streaking grime. Looks great on high detail miniatures.
Made me super nostalgic for your start collecting 40k series!
That's awesome. I've been looking inspiration for my skaven. Think I've got it.
FINALLY ! I had boxes for years and i had no idea how to paint them. Thanks !
Looks great! Well done!
Perfect use of the cool S
Absolute brilliance! This video is a beacon of creativity in a sea of content.💞
Loving the intro and the timing! I'm about to start painting a Kill Team of Skaven proxies for Blooded.
love this style (colors) !
Thanks for the video!
Hi Guy, You could try Monument Hobbies Newsh. Acrylic based, mix with your normal acrylic paint to colour it. Paint stays workable for approx 20 minutes, fully dry in about an hour, depending on the ratio you use. You get a similar effect to Streaking Grime but without the need for special cleaners, toxic fumes or having to leave it for 24 hours. I love using it, Artis Opus did a great review of it recently.
Great video Guy!
thanks for the tips with the green flame
Intro on point! ❤
Well id didnt see this coming. Great stuff!
Nice to see the TT combat paints, i have been really impressed with them
Awesome ❤
Nice, this is really great but quick army painting!
Fantastic intro!
I think this might be your best work yet, Guy! So happy the Old World is bringing back WFB!
Awesome video 😊😊😊
great video guys
Yes Yes, fantastic paint-thing
Whoa, that intro was epic!
Great work as always Guy
Thanks mate!
Loved the Skaven voice! Pale Flesh from Vallejo's Malefic Flesh set is my go to for ratty tails and pale squigs. The rest of the set is really nice too.
Ayyy! Finally some AOS love!
Pro Acryl Beige Red is a near perfect match for your rat skin color! They are my go-to for any mini painting I do
RATS RATS RATS RATS RATS. IVE BEEN WAITING 3 YEARS
Aaah, that's only a thousand days ;)
Nice! Just when I was planning to build a rat crew for Mordheim. This will be really useful 😊
omg I am bidding on ebay and then see this video. it is you!
The minis are so beautiful.
Great video very helpful yes yes.
That card trick is genius!
Love warhammer fantasy content!
The Skaven look fantastic, but honestly the thing that’s gonna stick with me is the popsicle stick palette. What an amazing and innovative idea!
Love the "S" thingy we all drew in middle school at 9:10
The cool S has no business being this funny
Guy has to voice act EVERY Skaven EVER! Also I LOVE this! I'm more a Skryre guy but I would have loved to bid on this if it wasn't already over $400CAD :D
I'll be tucking the link for this video away for when I get back at my Skaven!
Loved the eulogy at the start haha
I met you at warhammer world for an anniversary a year or two ago. Still love the vids.
i gotta say i love the artstyle and the idea of the skaven but man i just cant get past my of rats. lovely video :)
Nice tutorial! Would love colour forge to come to the US
10/10 - best rat boys. By far my favorite faction :)
"Hes not dead he just loves rats!"
As a rat breeder I apricate that. mee too man.
That intro was amazing! I was thinking about kitbashing the basic troops into Sanctioned Xenos Guardsmen for 40K.
Thank you! Yeah, I've heard the shoulder width is the same for Skaven and Cadians... it's almost like it was made to be!
Finally a skaven video
This is the exact opposite of how I painted my (very few) plaguemonks.... I decided to slow paint them, one at a time, doing my best with every single one..... I did it as sort of a learning experience, "I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times." kind of thing.
Vallejo salmon rose might make a good rat skin colour. Great paint job too.
Gotta watch out for the skaven, they have guns
An army fit for the Great Horned One, yes-yes!
Golden Dawn? Hey thanks I I've got the same box, unpainted. A few of the Rats I converted for a Necromunda gang. I'd love to see you vamp up some Skaven to Space Rat Warriors!
What a coincidence! I just bought a mixed lot of WHFB Skaven on ebay yesterday.
As for pink-like skin a friend of mine uses a formula: 5 drops of flesh pink, 3 drops of off-white and 1 drop od rich red and one drop of water. It looks great on his minis.
A timely vid considering the coming of new Skaven this summer. A great grimdark finish and something to keep an eye on!
I bought a box of ratboys for blood bowl the other day so I can't wait to watch this
That's an amazing skaven voice, guy should go into VA'ing
I do a mix of Khorne red and increasing amounts of wraithbone from GW to get pink skin. I think it was Byron on Artis Opus channel that drybrushed a Mega Gargant using those two that made me use it. Khorne red covers well and then just apply the blend on top! :)
Great video, nice to know how to get the best out of my AK streak and grime, oh Guy basic skin tone with a little red gives a good rat skin, plus orderless white spirit is my go too instead of the smelly type.
Skaven are so fun. Also, I anxiously wait the day of the great spraying. The day colour forge delivers to the US. I need a good salamanders green primer.
The Bronze Age was the 3rd best age in history
HELL YEAH
I recently learned you can make a gorgeous bronze by base coating silver or any gray metal, then using a sepia wash
Nice suggestion!
nice job!
as far as paints that look like that skin you were asking about, Pro Acryl Pale Pink is a good one.
Oh thanks for the intro I was about to be so sad.
Im stealing this 😂🎉
Rats, Rats, We are the Rats. Celebrating yet another birthday bash. mini it's your birthday today. Cake and ice cream is on its way.
