[@md-1]

How would I pick what miniatures to paint to sell? I know nothing about tabletop RPG games and such. Very good tutorial.

[@ye588]

Do you mind to list all the accessories that the slap chop painting would need as a complete beginner of the hobby? Such as dry brush, paints, etc...

[@RandomGamer1984]

I love the fact you went over the tips, then put the tips in practice. It’s easy to misinterpret information sometimes, and I think this helps people understand better. Great work as always.

[@ArtisOpus]

Thanks buddy, our pleasure :)

[@fynoxadavius127]

Instructions unclear. All miniatures eaten.

[@sstankfish]

For metallics, I think something that needs a video focusing on it is base colors under the different types of metals. I.e. gold, silver, steel, brass, bronze, etc. Base colors, that when the metal is applied thinly won't desaturate the metal completely (unless desired).

[@ArtisOpus]

We'll absolutely cover this, it's such an important part of getting the behaviour/result you want!

[@Alf_Hairy-arse]

I suggested it on the last video too but as it's about metallics: I would like to see a video on painting metals other than silver and gold. Brass, bronze, iron, steel, etc. Followed on by a video on realistic chipping and weathering of them.

[@TheMiniatureDoctor]

Basing tip is solid gold! Never thought about how important bases were in that way.

[@ArtisOpus]

So much, it should make a huge difference to your minis!

[@elderbasilisk1534]

Very good explanation about basing. I had noticed that putting some effort into my bases has paid higher dividends than anything else I've learned since I put my first dry brush and wash together but I've never had that clear an explanation of why it works like that before .

[@ArtisOpus]

:D you were more than half way there already! Thanks man

[@JessicaMuirhead1979]

When I started I read/watched a tip not to make the base too exciting as it would "take away" from the model. Now I look back on my first lot of models where I did a bit of texture paint with shade on and I am sad! I have gone back and added some grass, crystals etc, and even just that helps. But I wish I'd paid more attention from the start.

[@MrCrystalwarrior1]

I live in the Rep of Ireland, and many of the paints in most videos aren't available here due to the importation of certain chemicals laws, meaning the recipes on most videos do make me turn off before they get started into the meat of the topic. I use artist acrylic craft paints/inks now, make my own glazes and washes, and save LOTS of money to spend later on more minis. Your video here makes so much more sense than many out there, and shows HOW to paint a mini, not using just one certain brand of paint or mix of brands, making it much more accessible for both newcomers and old sweats like myself (I've been in the hobby since 1970). Simple and easy to follow is the way to go, and you've nailed it here :-)

[@NerdySatyr]

Holy moly the Silver wash section, so you don't need to highlight.... Aaa! What a dream come true!

[@ArtisOpus]

Yessir, welcome to the future :)

[@NerdySatyr]

@@ArtisOpus I'd really like to learn more about this, does it have a term? Would be nice to hear more like, where best to use it, when to go up to the edges and when not to, what sort of areas it can be done on (e.g. Armour, Capes, Cloth, Weapons? Etc). What to do if you accidentally touch an edge and cause it to pool, how much you want on your brush, the different things you can do with it, what colours to use, etc 😅 Edge highlighting is my bain so I've often defaulted to deybrushing, but I really like the appearance this effect gives :)

[@SororitasCelestine]

Would love to see a video on changing metallic properties with inks, normal paints, washes, contrasts etc. How they differ and the types of metallics different mixes can create. I have seen these come up separately in passing in videos not focused on metallics specifically. Would be nice to see them all together, and how you could incorporate dry brushing with them!

[@ArtisOpus]

We'll absolutely get some of this in. I may well do the new chaos lord on demonic mount first, as a primer to freshen up :)

[@CalumBoal]

@@ArtisOpus I would love to see the approach in this video applied to a model like the new chaos lord which doesn't match the criteria specified at the beginning of this video

[@rjtwo5434]

You are 100% correct! Too much recipe does not help in improving skill. It helps immensely to see it done in real time. I love tour channel! Thanks for tutorials and videos!

[@ArtisOpus]

Thanks, buddy! :)

[@nickmayne1901]

Great video, my suggestion may sound strange but I’d like to see a tutorial on how to achieve a Nmm effect but using metal paints, basically the best of both worlds

[@ArtisOpus]

Interesting, we'll definitely tie a bit of this in, thanks buddy, it actually fits really nicely with one thing in particular that I do as standard!

[@sighberman]

Agree. I have a Scale 75 line of metallics that includes a range of metallic colors but i struggle to use them together to effect. Hoping the upcoming metallics video will cover this.

[@RiftShredemption]

@@sighberman I also use the S75 metallics; as a hint, when I'm doing TMM with them I use their Black Metal on the low value end, and either Citrine or White Metal for the high value, final edge highlight with a matte white for the brightest points and specular highlights. TMM does take more attention and time since the actual texture of the dried paint is more grainy, and thus doesn't like to glaze as easily.

[@thomaslomax737]

Really good guide. I started painting minis in 1984 and there were still several points in your video which I'll benefit from. Going to go away and start printing off hard copies of the artwork I'm using for inspiration now. Thank you!

[@ArtisOpus]

Thanks so much for the kind words, Thomas! Enjoy, happy painting :)

[@IamZeus1100]

Found your channel because I recently got the navigator edition of the s series set . Not only are these the best brushes I’ve used but this is one of the most helpful videos I’ve seen in my only 3 years of mini painting . You’re so clear and concise with how you convey information, it makes it easy to digest . Quality work all around !

[@ArtisOpus]

Thanks so much man, I hope your minis are enjoying their new brushes! :)

[@markwood9751]

So after nearly 20 year hiatus from 40k, I was at a point where I finally had free time to set aside and rediscover my favourite childhood hobby. Dug out my GW carry case from the 90's along with a load of paints and a few choice miniatures I hung onto, thought better of popping the old blister packs open and decided to grab some new miniatures instead. So I don't go overboard and just grab a squad set along with a special that takes my fancy. Thinking this is all good not bogging myself down but enough miniatures to keep me painting for a week or 2. Gets myself all setup, opens the special and starts assembling. Wow are these new models head and shoulders over the older stuff in terms of detail and assembly. All assembled and undercoated, then just sat there for 5 mins scratching my head before thinking 'Oh, F@#$ this' and proceed to chuck it on a shelf with the unopened squad box. Decided to jump back online to order a Squig Herd which I painted instead! AdMech Combat Patrol & Belisarius Cawl really was NOT a good starting choice 🤣 Soo Yea, absolutely agree 100% the single most important advice to follow: If you are new or returning to miniature painting... Start with a 'SIMPLE' miniature 😁 I may get round to Belisarius Cawl at some point, but won't be anytime soon that's for damn sure lol

[@warlocksunited2e580]

Glazing with metallics? I absolutely love the way that this video has shown me how to paint what in my opinion looks like a mini just as good as heavy metal in an achievable time scale and skill level😀

[@ArtisOpus]

Thanks buddy, that's exactly what we were going for, 3-4 hours Vs 5 days, and not too different from 3feet away :)

[@MikeYouTube2024]

One of the best step-by-steps I have seen. I think the brightness of the color palette shows off the effects of each step: the contrast between the base coat and each succeeding layer shows really well. I'm a new subscriber just based on this one video.

[@docwex]

Edge highlight with the brush point-down. That's something I need to try. Thanks for all the great info!

[@ArtisOpus]

Every little helps!

[@carlosr2d3]

I love this and many of your videos. They've been an incredible resource for learning how to use high-quality dry brushing and creating well-painting minis without spending hours per miniature. They got me back to painting and painting more in less time, with results I'm super happy with. My recommendation (which is also my current project) is to make lava bases using diluted contrast paints and dry rushing that also have an OSL effect on the miniatures using only dry brushing for the OSL. I'm sure you‘ll come up with a better recipe for this than my current one, and I would love to see it😊

[@ArtisOpus]

Thanks man, you're welcome! We'll absolutely cover lava bases in the future, it's such a convenient way to get atmosphere in there

[@anthonyflynn2662]

i've watched so many videos on miniature painting in the last 4 days, and in 45 minutes i've learnt a decades worth of knowledge

[@ArtisOpus]

[@assembly_language3948]

I think most content creators either ignore or outright avoid discussing proper assembly and prep of miniatures and models before painting. I think this is a grave disservice to people coming into the hobby. If it is discussed at all, it is usually just glossed over or summarized, with little to no detail given. The closest I've seen so far has been Midwinter and his video on proper knife handling and control. I really hope someone in the community revisits the topic and releases some good videos on the subject. I've seen a lot of really awesome paint jobs (in person, not on YT), just ruined by mold lines and gate nubs.

[@ArtisOpus]

Agreed, it's framing it in a way that people will actually watch which is the difficulty!

[@JessicaMuirhead1979]

I completely agree! As I have progressed with my model painting I have noticed the quality of the build becoming more of an issue. There are 1000 videos on painting for 1 on model build tips.

[@Siege181]

Oh Byron, where have you been all our painting lives?? 😂 Truly awesome video, as I always say, the best thing about Byron’s vids is how he breaks things down so you have hope that you can improve and achieve similar results

Thanks for the video. I'd like to know what the best method would be for properly thinning your metallic paints, and suggestions on how to get the best consistency with them. And a bonus, what are some of your favourite metallic paints? Thanks again!

[@Alf_Hairy-arse]

I've got a painting suggestion that I've never seen anyone cover - faded colour/paint. I was thinking about Genestealer Cult vehicles and how they would probably be a mix of a dull flat colour and a really visible bright colour as they are repurposed industrial vehicles. They I thought about how old and not maintained they would be (weathering, chipping etc) which made me think the bright paint would possibly be faded from the sun. How would you achieve that faded look? Where would it look best/realistic to place it? Would make an awesome video, I think.

[@psyberion]

I really enjoyed this great tutorial. A comprehensive coverage from starting a miniature right up to the finished result. It was really well paced, too many tutorials rush through and leave you having to stop/start the video to catch all the info. Lots of helpful content too, with plenty of supporting knowledge, rather than a stream of do this and do that with no reasons why. Subscribed and I look forward to watching more of your videos

[@ArtisOpus]

Thanks so much, buddy! Plenty more to come, we're happy to help!

[@saltminer7065]

Fantastic guide. Something I would add (maybe it’s already said as I haven’t finished the vid yet). Contrast your base to your miniature, don’t put an imperial fist on a desert base, ideally choose a base that is on the opposite side of the colour scale to the majority of the model

[@ArtisOpus]

Good call dude, definitely makes a difference! I'll make sure to touch on this when we do a big basing guide

[@ThePlasmaboy11]

Absolutely love this style of process instead of step by step to achieve an end result. There are so many videos that go over the colour choices but don't touch on process so you have no idea how to get to the end result! Definitely gonna try and apply this approach to my new cadians

[@ArtisOpus]

Hey buddy, thanks so much, exactly what we're going for! At some point in the future we'll mix the two and do one on *making* colour choices :). Good luck with the Cadians!

Most important tip I'd like to see covered for metallics is how to push the contrast in a natural way, without losing that TMM feel, especially in busy areas like bolters or chaos armor. Great job on a great model too, that Overlord is a true classic.

[@Kokorisu]

I think as someone starting out, it's important to remind yourself to walk before you run, and that honing your skill is part of the process. I looked up so many tutorials, techniques and materials before sitting down to paint my first Termagants, following everything I had seen word for word and it just didn't come out the same because I hadn't developed brush control, muscle memory and practical skills. Every next model I painted looked better and better, and I experimented with mixing techniques and see what worked for me instead of copying a guide and saw the best results for my skill. Don't compare yourself to experienced painters as a beginner, simply try your best to apply their knowledge to your skill at the time.

Questions (Hope you don’t mind) 1. Is there a reason you moisten your dry brush with a sponge before dipping it in paint? 2. Do you use a wet palette and what do you think of it?

[@ArtisOpus]

1.) Every reason my dude, it's a keystone of high-quality drybrushing - the paint in our industry is *designed* to be diluted, it keeps it smooth! 2.) I don't, they slow me down, and I live in a cold, humid country, so it's not a necessity at all IMO. 3.) (Bonus) - Check out these videos, dampening pad is explained, the final one is the most recent, I'd start at the timestamp I gave, the 5-10mins that follow are really good stuff. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oanYimWEjcp8aK8 kzbin.info/www/bejne/g5-4iKqnaLanmdE kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYC2cpWmgc2MY5I Let me know in another comment if you have any further questions (not a reply to this, they get lost).
