3:14 Casey's Mad Dokk impression when shaking his paint pot gave me a good giggle. Those orcs look great, and the bases add a real finished pop to the models.

[@MisterAltir]

Something I've always feared is giving minis over complicated paint jobs that you spend hours on to only be faced with the desire to not even touch them due to fear of smudging or dulling your work. Loved the vid and gave me more to think about.

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

I think spending serious time on a model should be reserved for special models. Take your time on the fun stuff, get the army painting done quickly but lookin pretty good at the same time :)

[@benjaminpowers609]

It is definitely worth investing time into crafting a good procedure for getting models done. Painting my Lumineth, even to a shoddy tabletop quality, was a trip, and if I didn't put the time into developing the recipe, it'd never have gotten done.

[@ilsgrade8357]

I put a lot of effort into every single model. I even take time to individualize every single mini with added details, custom bases and custom accessories. Every single miniature is very individual, giving them some personality. Takes very long but in the end it just feels satisfying

[@a.p.2356]

I run into the problem of either finishing one model and then running out of steam, or half finishing the whole squad and running out of steam. Or worse yet, just not starting because I get a really elaborate idea in my head and end up intimidating myself into not doing it.

[@crenshawsMOMA]

Wait a minute is this why people go to golden demon?

[@zdruck0717]

Great stuff Casey! I'm finally getting confident enough with painting to start trying some war paint on my Ork Boyz, and this was a great primer on that along with a couple other tips and tricks I've picked up. Can't wait to try it out on my next batch!

[@chriskelley996]

This! This is the video I've been waiting to see from any of the KZbinrs I follow.. I haven't painted anything in roughly 20 years, but have found myself constantly watching vids from you, Scott, Jon, Brent, etc... it's an itch I have been reluctant to scratch.. but, I love the AoS orc models.. and your "red skins" look amazing. Makes me think I may have to pick some up and stick my toe into the water, again.

[@SwiftRelish]

These orks look phenomenal, the face paint idea came out amazingly! Really enjoy the more streamlined look of these models. You’re making me want to buy a few!

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

Thanks! These models are almost always going in groups of 5/10 on eBay. Real nice and fun to paint, 5 of them make a Warcry war-band, and they are good on the table in a full game. Ace models for sure :)

[@Sharingsasuke]

Love this video. Actually gave me some ideas for my Iron Jaws for warcry :) And made me super happy about just getting my megaboss done for my first local mini painting competition o.O That warpaint idea! I am gonna play with that a bit.

[@joshuasmith5472]

The markings on the face are amazing!! I haven't ever seen it done but seen a lot of models done with them!!

[@KabinMiniatures]

Wow. That red skin and white markings looks soooooo good 😎

[@michaeltunnicliffe4935]

One Hundred Percent Agreed. I got back into the hobby when a friend convinced me to start 40K again. The game was a lot more complicated than I remembered when I used to play 3rd edition. (I rejoined the hobby in 2011, can't remember what edition that was.) Eventually we compromised. A 3rd friend wanted to play Middle Earth, I'm a huge LotR fan and when I learned that Middle Earth was easier to play, I was more than happy to give that a try. I love playing Middle Earth. The simplicity really helps make the game more fun. And since then I have still painted 40K models and collected armies, though more for fun than to game with. But I have noticed the Space Marines have evolved such a lot since 3rd. I liked when the Marines were Tactical Marines for troops, Devastators for Heavy, Assault Marines for Fast Attack, Command Squad for HQ and Veterans for well, Veterans. Now, I just don't get it. Intercessors, Assault Intercessors, Heavy Intercessors, Reivers, Infiltrators, Hellblasters, Eradicators, Inceptors, Eliminators, Bladeguard, Aggressors, Incursors. More than double the units. I have no idea what the role of each one is. I forget which each one is. I mean Intercessors, Inceptors, Infiltrators, Incursors? Which is which again? Not to mention, the range for Space Marines is so large it makes the Imperial Guard look like an afterthought. I was always under the impression that Guardsmen was the bulk of the Imperium and each Marine was like the equivalent of 50 guardsmen. But it looks more like the opposite when you see the sheer scale of the options. In some ways, I'd like to see Imperium be condensed into it's own army. And for Space Marines to consist of a 5 man squad which can be taken with every 100 Guardsmen. Or something similar. Thats the image Marines gave me. Now they are too big, too numerous and too complicated. GW should probably streamline the game a bit and make a) the game more beginner friendly and b) marines more simple

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

Similar story here, I came back in after a very long break to AOS, much easier and fun oriented, although the Wild West when it started. Space marines could just use a simplified org chart, like, here’s a great place to start with X troops and options, then branch out if you enjoy the craziness! It’s gone too far for sure.

[@madmanvarietyshow9605]

God yes please. For me not only is the big thing the complicated rules, but the sheer volume of... volumes you have to collect to play and how much they cost. $60 for the core, $40 for the codex, $40 for the rule updates. Yeah screw that, give me something simple and playtested by people who actually play the game at a higher level who are really good at breaking games to iron out all the kinks and super OP stuff. But if they did that then GW wouldn't make as much money so it's off to something like One Page Rules I go! Lol

[@TheKsalad]

Some people have been collecting space marine armies for decades, so turning them into an elite unit within an "imperium" codex would really bite a lot of those people in the ass.

[@michaeltunnicliffe4935]

@@TheKsalad oh yeah. I agree. My main point is I don't think it should have got this far in the first place. Obviously it's too late to turn back now. But Guardsmen should definitely outnumber Space Marines by a mile. But that's not represented on the model range. Guard should always have been more numerous than Marines. Be it different regiment options or even just offering 20 guardsmen in a box instead of 10. It's such a pain collecting Guard. You spend 5 times as much to make a playable army and you are stuck with hundreds of identical guardsmen.

[@deathjester62]

@@michaeltunnicliffe4935 I remember when I started guard it was 20 to a box not 10.

I don't feel so bad because of my miniatures being relatively uncomplicated, now, after watching this video.

[@ericl7132]

what ??!! they are marvelous Nice job, i mean it

[@ZodiusXx]

Really liking them but personally feel the silver is too dominating, I would differentiate the weapons by applying a dry brush of "grey knight steel". It's a blueish base coat paint that GW makes and I think it would make a good mid point to contrast the red skin while complimenting the silver armour. It's also incredibly quick and easy, so fits the video theme.

[@greys_plastic]

I'd be interested in seeing a road to NMM style video series. Buy a cheap half decent model off eBay just to try stuff on without the thought of ruining it.

[@amutant]

Hiya, love the channel and been inspired to get my own ultrasonic cleaner and give this a go myself. I'm looking for something like LA's Totally Awesome that's more easily available in the UK? Do you know what is actually in LA's? Also do you dilute it any?

[@offroadturkey]

[@The_Cheesemannn]

I dig the color scheme. Red Orks just hit harder. Also, where’d you get that white painting mat with the dilution ratios on it? Might need to get one for myself.

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

That’s a red grass games cutting mat, it’s got dilution ratios, base size guides, and a place for a color wheel, very nice mat for sure 👍

[@ironbomb6753]

Casey, will you give these figures a protective topcoat?

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

Probably not, although it never hurts to do that if you want that extra bit of protection. Honestly I don’t handle my models often enough for it to matter. But if you’re gonna be rolling and army pretty often then it’s a good idea for sure.

[@bendingwall7996]

Cool! Although can someone tell me what the first colour he used on the skin was? idk why but the models seemed to just disappear when he applied it...

Hope you have a happy Easter Casey! Quick question, how did you get the static grass to stick straight up?

You as well! As long as you buy the grass that says it’s static on the label then it usually stands up alright without a static grass applicator. The shorter stuff in particular seems to be be better for it as well. If you want that long stuff to stand you really need a static grass applicator to charge it as it goes down.

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

Certainly nothing wrong with that. A long term goal for me is to have 2000 points of something painted to a pretty high level, some kind of long project. I think I just need to find the right models.

[@darko-man8549]

I partially agree. Something I don't like with GW nowadays is how few options we are actually given - particularly with some characters Very monoposey

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

True, the mono pose models are the opposite of choice, but they do eventually come out with multi pose kits, for most things anyways. My main issue is not having a baseline of models and units that are clearly there to show you how to put together an army, the ironjawz specific army shows you what it needs and then you can branch out with all the other orks. Most other factions (more in 40K) just tell you to jump in with both feet. And not that that’s the worst thing in the world, but if we want more people to get into the hobby then the barrier to entry needs to continue being lowered.

[@darko-man8549]

@@eBayMiniatureRescues Personally I feel that's what marines are there for though. They do tend to be simple and easy to assemble. They fill that niche. Other armies being more complex are not really a barrier to entry. PLus, on a personal level, GW already have their entire business model based on "getting new consumers in" - this comes from an actual employee - I think they don't need to do more to encourage people to join because practically everything is And, thinking back to when I was a kid, I recall quite enjoying the complicated pieces (this being 10-15 years ago)

So I went with purple under my red for an ork and it turned out beautifully! What do you suggest for green orks?

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

actually purple works really well for green as well. You get an incredible hulk vibe. Generally I do a pretty dark green though if I want good ork skin. The trick is to add some pink and red tones to the skin to highlight, not just green. Elbows, faces, knuckles, those kind of things work really well for that.

[@PaintingTheDemonsAway]

@@eBayMiniatureRescues ok awesome! Thanks for the tips man!

[@komma8203]

Pastel peach from ak interactiv 3 generation is maybe a tiny bit brighter than the gw orange, but pretty close in tone and that is a much better paint than the fire dragon bright is

[@shadowsoul9526]

How do you feel about Orks with yellow and blue armor with purple clothes

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

Sounds cool, the yellow is straight across from purple on the color wheel, and if you use the traditional washes for yellow, contrast included, you can get a real good orange tone in the recesses that would contrast with the blue really well. Sounds like a fun theme :)
