Need more goblins!!! Gloomspite gitz are the best!

[@MattsHobbyHour]

I always loved me some mushrooms!

[@HTM95]

Contrasts are really changing the game eh? Good stuff Matt

[@MattsHobbyHour]

thanks HTM! They sure are a useful tool.

[@pablomontenegro2030]

Love that classic Stone Trolls scheme and the chill vibes voice as well

[@MattsHobbyHour]

Glad to hear, thanks for watching!

[@johnnymacd7281]

Such a soothing voice, like a Bob Ross of minature painting, love your vids!

[@MattsHobbyHour]

Thanks for watching! Bob was one of my favorites, growing up. Never thought I'd be compared to him. Thanks for the kind words!

[@johnnymacd7281]

Me too!

[@BS-mz4in]

it would be cool to see some skaven and dwarves. keep up the good work.

[@MattsHobbyHour]

I have some Skaven and Dwarfs kicking around. I'll put a few of them on the desk. Thanks for watching and for the suggestion!

[@allenbenningfield3865]

Orcs and goblins all day long! Great video.

[@MattsHobbyHour]

I agree! Thanks for watching!

[@shyer6646]

wow. I mentioned this on another video and I feel it bares repeating- I would be sooo thrilled if you made more skaven content. The other video was Seraphon, the reason I'm saying this is your approach to painting scales (& skin) is remarkable. I would love to see your approach fur (& skin) keeping in mind that just as beasts with scales come in all colors, so do beasts with fur. Most guides for painting skaven do similar things with the skin & fur but I feel like it can be embellished in all sorts of different ways. The more variety the better. Any number of color pallets you can think to put on a skaven I will certainly be trying. Thank you, and so glad I found your channel!

[@MattsHobbyHour]

Thanks for all the kind words! I have a couple Skaven videos now, and I'll try to include some more (Seraphon too) in the future. Thanks for watching!

[@tigerbomb909]

Wow the crystal technique you used looks incredible!

[@MattsHobbyHour]

Thanks! Glad you like it.

[@dunny7970]

Loving the old world content! Let’s see boarboyz/black orcs or beastmem….. that would be amazing 🫠

[@MattsHobbyHour]

Thanks for watching! Good call on the boars. Those are on my wish list... gonna have to get a box soon!

[@WestCoastMinis]

Awesome work dude!

[@MattsHobbyHour]

Thank you!

[@shaneflickinger]

That's an interesting way to paint bone. Never got into AoS, so would love to see more Old World content. The specific army doesn't really matter to me. Thanks Mr. Matt.

[@MattsHobbyHour]

thanks Shane! Will have plenty more Old World content going forward

[@Mike-er5ws]

Love your tutorials, especially for Old World, keep 'em coming! 😁

[@MattsHobbyHour]

Thank you! Will keep them coming. I got loads in the pile of shame!

[@heowilli]

Another great tutorial Matt

[@MattsHobbyHour]

Thanks! Glad you liked it!

[@chaoticflanagan]

Looks great! I would love to see more Old World content! No preference really - Tomb Kings, Bretonnia, or more Orcs & Goblins would all be great!

[@MattsHobbyHour]

Thanks! I have all three of those in the pile of shame... I'm sure theyll make an appearance on the channel soon. Thanks for watching!

[@OptientGaming]

Nice job. Would love more old work stuff

[@JohnnyTightIips]

Lovely job, these newer stone trolls looks great.

[@MattsHobbyHour]

Thanks! Yes they are a nice kit. Very fun details

[@Gumlass1]

This was great. Ive got 6 of these I haven't painted yet.

[@Helkeon]

Good tutorial, I can't wait to see your night goblins, these big guys need company. Green and "kunnin" company! I just discovered your channel, and you have gained a new subscriber. Greetings.

[@MattsHobbyHour]

Welcome to the channel, and thanks for subscribing!

[@90Gunni]

Lovely tutorial! Every time there is some new piece of technique or advice, really cool! I would also love to see some Skaven

[@MattsHobbyHour]

Great suggestion! I do have a Verminlord primed and ready to go. Could also dig up a few clanrats. Thanks for watching!

[@Moseth7606]

Excellent work dude!! Thi's video is being saved to my playlist 😊 I have one of these left over after tried to start it years ago, it felt daunting but after watching this and your tips I feel confident about tackling it. Cheers dude

[@MattsHobbyHour]

That's great to hear! I'm glad you feel inspired. Good luck!

[@adammoore251]

Great Tutorial. I'll be painting minresoon. I was thinking Tourquoise. This has been very helpful as I didn't know where to start.

[@MattsHobbyHour]

Turquoise would be cool! Good luck with your models and thanks for watching!

[@BBSoonerOU]

Thanks for the great tutorial, looking forward to seeing your O&Gs grow!

[@MattsHobbyHour]

Thanks! I always wanted an O&G army. Should be a lot of fun

[@cadianamerican]

Gonna get started on my Trolls soon, perfect tutorial.

[@MattsHobbyHour]

great timing! Hope they turn out awesome

[@reedfranco5392]

Great video man!

[@MattsHobbyHour]

Thanks for watching!

[@Grim-Crusader]

I love warhammer fantasy, great looking stone trolls

[@MattsHobbyHour]

thanks for watching! Warhammer fantasy is my favorite. Lots more to come from the Old World!

[@GeneralPuni]

Awesome job with the rockguts! Probably the better tutorials I've seen of them so far! Are you going to do fellwater troggoths too as well?

[@MattsHobbyHour]

Thanks for watching! I do have a box of those in my pile of shame. I bet they'd be a blast to paint. I'll have to build them and paint them up some time soon!

[@GeneralPuni]

@@MattsHobbyHour I can say the same, I have them, just all primed and ready to eventually be painted 🥲

[@EZMawloc]

I'm trying to figure out what to do with my Kroxigar and Saurus Warriors and I feel like these techniques will be very helpful for those models. Thank you for the video! Earned the like and sub ;)

[@MattsHobbyHour]

Lizards would look great in those colors! Good luck with your army and thanks for watching!

[@Red-Barn-Games]

Great tutorial! Love it!

[@MattsHobbyHour]

Thanks for watching!

[@TheHipJob]

Beautiful

[@MattsHobbyHour]

Thanks!

[@Gumlass1]

Great video. I'd love to see some Dark Elves or Skaven

[@MattsHobbyHour]

Thanks for watching and for the suggestions!

[@AryaRonja]

Looks great

[@JazTheScrewyPanda]

Gobbo, gobbo, gobbo.. yes please..... snot... Already saved it to be inspiration for my Blood Bowl, Black Orc Troll.

[@MattsHobbyHour]

Thanks for watching!

[@AJBunBun]

Very good!

[@MattsHobbyHour]

Thanks!

[@BroskiGamiing]

Love the old world stuff do some beastmen or woodelves!

[@MattsHobbyHour]

I have a good amount of old school Wood Elves in my pile of shame. Might have to dust them off!

[@Caskron1]

Please paint some more Lizardmen/Seraphon 🐸

[@MattsHobbyHour]

I've been meaning to pick up a box of Kroxigor. I think those would be a lot of fun to paint

[@Caskron1]

@@MattsHobbyHour they are next on my build/paint list coincidentally 😁

[@Seb88889]

Same here, Kroxi’s and Lizardmen in general I’d be really interested in!

[@SquareTableUnion]

I have some elf models with long flat caps that I’ve been having trouble with speed painting. The rinse and wipe trick might have just solved a lot of my problems.

[@MattsHobbyHour]

I bet it would work great on those models. Glad you found it helpful. Thanks for watching!

[@senorcakenice]

Love how they turned up! Would like to see more O&G or dwarfs.

[@MattsHobbyHour]

Thanks! I'm going to pick some up soon. The channel needs more green!

[@MyloRen90]

Learn a lot in just one video... thanks (Y)

[@MattsHobbyHour]

Glad to hear that! Thanks for watching!

[@guusvansprang5673]

These models look amazing. But do you think you can do more Tyranids? im following your tutorial on how to paint them and would like to see your take on a Deathleaper

[@MattsHobbyHour]

Thanks! Been a while since I did some Tyranids. I'll do my best to get some more on the channel. Thanks for watching!

[@bedwyr84]

Old world lizzardmen please!

[@lilpain1997]

When dry brushing dont use a paper towel. Use something plastic and dampen your brush a little, far better results that way. Doesn't look as chalky if you go in fully dry

[@lupisvolk2420]

I am stealing the blues for my Seraphon Saurus warriors.

[@MattsHobbyHour]

great! Hope it works out for you. Good luck!

[@mimoteph6378]

Beastmen for the next video ! ^^

[@waynefitzpatrick6220]

Maybe some chaos nurgle too

[@MattsHobbyHour]

I'm a big fan of Nurgle. Got a Great Unclean One ready for paint, actually. Might have to add him to the queue!

[@TzarChelo]

Pls old world and orcs and goblins! xD

[@MattsHobbyHour]

I'm hoping to pick up the O&G battalion soon! I need some more green in my hobby life.

[@eduardop727]

Aw man I missed the premiere while watching xmen 97! I'll still boot this up while I paint some Tempestus Scions

[@MattsHobbyHour]

Sounds like fun! Thanks for watching!

[@TheBigbear1987]

TOMB KINGS!!!!!!!!!

[@MattsHobbyHour]

Good call! I have some of the new stuff. I can't wait to paint it!

[@bg9994]

Don't suppose the plan includes the rest of the trolls or goblins?

[@MattsHobbyHour]

I have a couple other videos for the army so far; night goblins and squigs. There will be more coming in the future though. Thanks for watching!

[@Nubloot]

Did you put them on 40s or 50s? Cool if they actually rank up on 40mms

[@MattsHobbyHour]

They're on 40s. It's a little tight but they do rank up... barely. I think it would be better if some of the old metal ones are mixed in the unit, since they're a lot smaller.

[@HamyHaxxor]

Vampires maybe???

[@MattsHobbyHour]

Very fun army to paint! Next time I come across some I'll film it for the channel.

[@paulhardy1798]

Old world slannesh

[@MattsHobbyHour]

Thanks for the suggestion!

[@thrrax]

There's absolutely no reason to go crazy on gaming pieces.

[@waynefitzpatrick6220]

Defo orks

[@dougpridgen9682]

It seems a bit incongruent telling people who can afford GW models they can get good results with inexpensive tools. It's true, but sometimes you also get what you pay for.

[@MattsHobbyHour]

In a lot of cases, yes you absolutely get what you pay for. Often times an inexpensive tool can perform just as well or better than an expensive tool. Other times the expensive tool gets results that completely justify the price. I'm a commission painter of over 20 years and there are a lot of cheap, handmade, and "trash" supplies I use regularly. There are a lot of expensive supplies that I use too. I try to strike a balance when I recommend something, especially to beginners, and I really value my reputation as well. I don't want to lead anyone astray. If there is a cheaper alternative that does the job nearly as good as an expensive option, I think it is worth talking about. There is a huge gear acquisition mindset these days and I see a lot of youtubers promoting sponsored products... I'm not selling anything and I'm not sponsored, I just want to help people paint a little bit better, and have a relaxing time along the way. Thanks for watching and happy painting!

[@dougpridgen9682]

@@MattsHobbyHour I understand your motive and it’s a good one. One of my pet peeves is people who leave a negative comment because a content creator uses an airbrush in a video. Although you can do a lot more with one, even if all you used an airbrush for was priming it would quickly pay for itself when you consider that four or five rattle cans costs as much as a mid priced decent airbrush. Of course those people might prime with Rustoleum or the other cheap brand but even those add up over. No matter what tools people decide to use negativity like that is unnecessary. I look forward to more videos.

[@MattsHobbyHour]

@@dougpridgen9682 I completely agree with you. I use an airbrush myself, pretty regularly. You're right that it is a worthwhile investment which pays for itself pretty quickly. I haven't included it in any videos yet but I do plan on filming some airbrushing in the future. Right now this channel is more or less a hobby in my spare time, and things are a little limited. But one day I hope to have a wider variety of content.
