Episode 10: How to paint the Freeguild Cavalier of Hammerhall Gyra from Warhammer: Cities of Sigmar

[@kasparbaktat964]

How long did the paint job take? I think the model could have benefited from some more contrast on the head of the horsy(?) and the Cavalier, but it depends on how much time it took so far. I am a very slow painter and I often come to a point, where just declare a model done, because I really don't want to work on it anymore...

These specific mini's take about 3-4 hours per mini to paint. Unfortunately, I don't have a ton of time to invest in one miniature so I like the mini to look decent without putting in a ton of extra time in. I feel like when you (the artist) are satisfied with the paint job, your work is complete. We could all sit there for days painting the same miniature and I'm sure they would look amazing, but with the amount of plastic we all have piled up, it's unrealistic. My theory: Paint until you're content. Ultimately, it's your miniature and you have to be happy with it. It's your art. Hope that helps. Anyway, thank you for watching the video and leaving a comment. You rock!

@@nerdknights1122 I absolutely agree with your theory! Even way worse painted minis would look better on the board than grey ones. And tabletop or board games come with so many of them, that a fast but effective painting style is essential. Beginner painters often need just some guidance how to achieve this. The incredible looking can even be bad for morale. That is, why I value your channel so much! I really had no idea how to approach those Descent miniatures. And that is why I even like and comment your Warhammer related content. I am reluctant to do that too much (in general), because then the algorithm messes up my feed ;-) I really hope that you get the views your content deserves!

@@kasparbaktat964 I appreciate the kind words. Maybe one day my channel will gain more followers but I am not worried about it. I just enjoy making videos and sharing them with the world, helping painters out who just want some ideas.
