Glad you like it!

You are very welcome

Thank you for the kind words 😊

Thanks for your kind words. I can't comment too much on the branch composition on this base as it's part of the models sculpt

Cheers for the kind words. It's the one thing I commend resin bases for especially the unreal wargaming ones. The sculpt does such heavy lifting that simple techniques really show them off and your mini

Glad you liked this tutorial 😁

This comment is exactly why I do this! I'm so happy you found this useful and felt it helped you improve as a painter ❤️

A purple tint on goffs black armour is actually what the eavy metal team do, this tutorial is inspired by their recipe

Thank you very much!

Exactly

Very glad this has helped you out :)

If you're going to start with orruk flesh as a starting point there's a variety of colours you could use as highlights Nurgling green is similar but lighter for subtle stuff but ogryn camo followed by krieg khaki could keep the pale highlights Spending on tonal shades you could shade down with waagh flesh or wash with a tinned contrast like warp lightning or creed camo depending on tonal variation you might want

At its core the main effect on the base is a gradient which would work on any base. Even a flat one. You could do the isometric vapourwave lines on top of it on a flat base for example Having a base with some industrial details even if it's just some wires or a bit of plastic that looks like corrugated steel glued down will make a difference in its appearance causing things to pop

Yeah so flat base is really not working out so well. Having a lot of pooling on the flat surfaces. Maybe with an airbrush, but I think this is a no-go for my arena surface. Still thanks for the great tutorial.

Ah that's a shame. It's always worth trying something though cos even if it doesn't work you learn something

Glad you like it

Glad you like it :)

I have faith in you. Everyone starts somewhere and never compare yours to someone else’s. You should compare to previously painted by you. You will find that you are progressing much more than you think. Keep painting :)

Cheers the positive inspiration comments are always appreciated ☺️

Hehe thanks ☺️

I don’t play death guard any more but someone asked for some tutorials and this seemed like a cool model to do tutorials on

Really glad you found it helpful 😀

Well that’s why I made the video 😂

I used to struggle with bases too, then I realised I was using all the wrong stuff. My biggest pet peeve was seeing people go” and now it’s based “ seeing a beautifully detailed environment and I think, where you get that from? The trick is to experiment with different things and even if it doesn’t work you learn loads

Thank you ☺️

Thanks again!

the trick is none of them are perfect. The camera hides a lot of imperfections and you can always touch up with your previous colour if you're not happy. Try not to worry about being perfect and you will soon add them to your painting toolkit :)

I found the daunting bit not believing it would build up. The best thing you can do is start on something you are less bothered by and build up to the nice models. My Gaunts for example are 1 highlight thick coats for tabletop, and it really built up my confidence on brush work and paint coverage. As I moved to different models I used thinner coats and more coats and more highlights. It really helps. Do the chaff first when you are less confident in a technique.

Glad you liked it! The buttons are done in the same way folks do gem stones or lenses. Paint the base of the darkest colour and pick a bottom corner ( do it the same for all buttons ) then highlight progressively smaller areas with a lighter shade with a white dot in the opposite top corner

@@mugsofdoomminis thank you very much!!

Thank you for the kind words. I add a rain track in the background. I wanted the videos to feel like it’s a rainy day and you are being shown painting tips rather than shouting about sponsorships , and loud noises etc I wanted a chill atmosphere and I’m glad to hear that it’s working for you :)

@@mugsofdoomminis oh damn it's edited ! I love the rain sound and was wondering what kind of country is always so rainy, it explains so much ! Well, it really works for me !

@@ssenrak8117 haha yea, All the voiceover is recorded afterwards, and although it rains a lot in the UK it doesn't rain THAT much

Thanks for the kind words, glad you like it

Medium rust from mig might be a good shout. It’s any sort of medium orangey brown tone rust pigment will do the trick

Thank you for your kind words :) oxidising is absolutely something you could apply to the trim here. The trick with verdigris is to use lots of reference images and remember that oxidisation tends to happen in the recesses. As for colours there are a whole bunch you can use, you don’t necessarily have to use a specific technical paint for it, find your favourite teal and turquoise paints, baharoth blue and gauss blaster green heavily thinned are good colours to use from games workshop

I’m really glad you enjoyed it! Means a lot when someone finds them out the blue and go “ that’s exactly what I needed “ ☺️

Glad this inspired you, hope you get results you’re happy with :)

Glad you found it helpful ☺️

Glad you enjoyed it:)

Glad you liked the video :)

I mean airbrush is nice but it’s not the be all. It’s a tool to help speed up certain effects everything an airbrush does hairy stick does, just airbrush speeds things up

Oh absolutely but the bulk of my views come from America where there is less access to their products. Recommending gw is so everyone can have a reference point even if they prefer another brands paint range

I’m glad you found it helpful. Rule number one of painting minis. Never compare yourself to others only yourself. If you just started running you wouldn’t compare yourself times to an Olympic runner cos you’d be disheartened. Paint because you enjoy it. Each time you paint you get better even if you don’t notice it. Hang onto the very first mini you paint and you will notice how far you progress much easier. Everyone starts somewhere and if you enjoyed doing it, don’t you dare let anyone tell you that your models aren’t amazing. I bet yours look great. Happy hobbying :)

It’s one of the games workshop necromunda zone mortalis bases It’s a £12 box ( or regional equivalent) with 15 sculpted 25s , 15 sculpted 32s and 5 40mm bases. This I think is one of the 40mm ones

​@@mugsofdoomminis thank you so much brother! I'm painting my sisterz of synth and these bases would be perfect!

@@chucknorrissaurus4398 no problem :) sounds a fun project :)

Haha yea but it’s a really vital skill to learn for advanced techniques like volumetric shading and nmm. It’s also a thing beginners can really see a difference on the model with. This was a change of pace for me and edge highlights are a really good practice of brush skills

Glad you liked it! If you swap the bone for a light grey it makes a nice dead wood on terrain :)

Thanks. It’s the first I’ve had time to make since my change in circumstances!

That is very kind of you to say so. Glad you enjoyed the video :)
