BatchSlap Painting Miniatures CHANGED My Hobby Forever

[@theromeog]

Kids just got me the base hero quest box for my 52nd birthday. Time to paint and play. Thanks for all the inspiration!

[@MiniatureHobbyist]

Hey thats awesome its a great game for the family and lots of minis to paint 😊

[@dphstudioz]

I agree, keep it simple, keep it fun, get it done.

[@dr.mortose163]

I love batch painting. Good job with these skeletons. Keep it up!

[@volkarve]

BATCHSLAP needs to be added to the hobby lexicon lol cheers all

[@MiniatureHobbyist]

Indeed it does lol 😊

[@TheOldestNoob]

I would love to see you try tiny epic dungeons. Not to many minis, and a cool little game.

[@garryknox1614]

Those skeleton archers came up a treat. I really need to give slapchop a go. Thanks for the painting lesson.

[@MiniatureHobbyist]

Yeah have a go, I love the ease and speed of it 😊

[@dc345601]

Are those painting handles 3D printed? If so where did you get the files?

[@wandererchronicles]

Second the question.

[@MiniatureHobbyist]

Yup they are I made them and they are on my patreon page 😊

You can just buy a bag of wine corks

[@dc345601]

@@peippou yeah, but then I don’t get to justify my 3D printer purchases to my wife 😂

[@Unclebillyr]

Just out of curiosity, do you put a protective coating on your miniatures when you're done?

[@MiniatureHobbyist]

I dont, so far never needed to as paint hasnt worn off any of my miniatures 😊

[@brianknouse5164]

What primer are you using and what shade?

[@MiniatureHobbyist]

Matt black by the colourforge 😊

[@shorelessskies]

Nice one. I'm still sitting on a bunch of 1.0 speedpaints. Do you have any tips for using them? They're a bit fussy to me but I can't bear to give them away or chuck them out lol

[@kevinmcreynolds123]

Do not throw them away, they are still good you just have to work around the short comings. I own both sets and still use both as some arent included in the mega set 2.0. They work great, they clean up easy if you make a mistake, if you want to put a 2nd coat to make it darker you need to give ample drying times (8 to 24 hrs) or you can give it a clear coat varnish and you can then do it as soon as that dries, about 10 mins. I live and die by slapchop, I am currently painting up all the hero quest stuff plus loads of Song of Ice and Fire table top minis.

[@MiniatureHobbyist]

Yeah never throw away paint unless you are a millionaire lol, just take your time with them and you will do great 😊

[@echodelta2426]

Great video. Those came out so well. Ready for the game board. I'm guessing you seal them, but I should just watch yourTOP TIPS in the link.

[@MiniatureHobbyist]

Cheers, must admit I dont seal them, havent had any issues with the paint wearing off......not yet anyway 😊

[@simarshall2474]

@@MiniatureHobbyist only thing to be cautious of is the HeroQuest plastic trays are too damned tight, so causes a lot of friction on the models. Might bite you if they're unsealed.

[@andrevandervlies5700]

Nice looking skele-boys! Do you leave the bases like that?

[@MiniatureHobbyist]

Will cut them off and put on clear bases 😊

[@adambaker549]

Have you thought about doing a multi video diorama? pick 2 lots of minis then paint them up over a couple of vids then kitbash a diorama from some different 3d printed models, paint them and combine it all into one scene. I think it would be cool and you could use up some of your pile of shame.

[@MiniatureHobbyist]

Oh wow I hadnt but I do like idea of a cross over of games 😊

[@defdaz]

You always amaze me. I'm like, surely these are going to turn out to be awful, you can't half arse them this badly and get away with it, but nope, pretty damn good all things considered! 😅🎉

[@MiniatureHobbyist]

Haha yup I surprise myself too considering I really do just slap paint on them 😊

[@tiborgyulai5208]

What is the name of this orange painting palette?

[@MiniatureHobbyist]

Its a kids poppitt toy, really cheap but handy 😊

[@greyshadedminis]

Nice video mate you keep reminding me my heroquest needs doing 😂😂😂

[@MiniatureHobbyist]

Then I hope you start painting while watching me paint mine 😊

[@MiniAxeCrafts]

BatchSlap 🤣 Good result - You'll be a speedpaint God by the end of November!

[@MiniatureHobbyist]

I'll be cream crackered thats for sure, painting is easy, its the editing and waffle I do that is wearing me out, only 25 days to go lol 😊

[@Giggan-h2r]

Really enjoyed the video. Subbed!

[@MiniatureHobbyist]

Thank you so much 😊

[@Kitbash.Carnage]

Hope all well loved the video 👍🔥🤘❤️

[@MiniatureHobbyist]

Cheers, all good here 😊

[@SebastienBlaueCookieFan]

What have you painted for Lord of the Rings?

[@MiniatureHobbyist]

This is HeroQuest but there are videos of me painting LOTR 😊

[@christianpace4346]

I can t read the colour name.

[@allenforbes8108]

on the 3rd day...

[@andrevandervlies5700]

Giving up already? I was hoping you'd have a full version by the end of the month... ;-)

[@MiniatureHobbyist]

Yeah we can turn it into a full length song lol 😊

[@allenforbes8108]

@@MiniatureHobbyist I think I've got 2 3rd days, but I'm hoping for audience particapation, also my laptop doesn't do emojis, so some may seem off.
