@@solwilkinson8551 lots of the tips in this video are really good for tau, especially panel lining. On tau it’s especially important to keep the paint smooth and thin, along with whenever you have a secondary/accent colors on the model try and keep them as distinct and separated on different panels to make them stand out. Here’s a video that I think does this very well: m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/apzbgp5-r6-ZjJo Also, subassembly’s are your friend

I learned to paint from the old Mike McVey book (yes, I'm old), but there's so much online info now you can't go wrong. Another thing to do when you do a basecoat is to thin the paint more and do several coats - the initial one filling in the nooks and crannies (like you did with the black ink stuff) and the next coat(s) being progressively thinner until you get the the outer edges or larger areas of armour, etc. It's time consuming but ends up looking decent. Also, don't be afraid to use washes as a basecoat once you get more confident - you can achieve some good effects. You still thin them out as you work outward from the more recessed parts of each model and so on, but it can look good. I liked that you emphasized the whole wet palette technique as it really is essential to getting good results.

People who are getting into miniature painting (TIPS) 1. Thin down your paints, better to apply multiple thin coats than one thick coat. 2. Don't worry about making mistakes, they can be fixed and making mistakes is part of learning. 3. Right brush for the right job. Don't use one size brush for everything, make sure to use at least a few different size brushes for different tasks. 4. Don't overprime. When you prime, don't over do it, better to have less than more, even if a bit of the plastic is showing through the primer. 5. Use a wet pallet. You can buy them, but I'd recommend making your own. Plenty of tutorials on youtube and google and it's far cheaper. 6. When getting into models, start small. When you paint your first model, don't buy the biggest, most expensive thing straight away, start on one small model and practice. Hope this helps.

I'd like to add to this by mentioning batch painting if you have a fair number of models to paint. Painting your army one at a time might make it at least seem to take forever(if not actually take forever), but if you're painting two or three or so at a time it can help cut that feeling down. While it'll mostly depend on you and your army, I'd suggest doing three to five models at a time so that you can put a decent dent in your pile of grey while not get tired of staring at the exact same model for hours on end or overwhelmed at certain steps in the painting process.(I had this happen to me while painting my last batch of Orks. I was highlighting the skin, which me took HOURS per model and I had to do ten of them)

Just a note on the Tamiya clear red, if you're going to apply two thin coats of it ( personally prefer one coat) make sure you thin it down with Tamiya X20A thinner as the paint, while acrylic, doesn't thin with water and will, in my experience at least, clump and seperate. On another note you can 100% use washes on black, just not in the conventional sense, brown washes make black look really worn down and is a very effective weathering technique but for me at least I make a quick clean black by painting a dark grey like Eshin and then using black templar overtop which creates a nice subtle effect. Also as a fellow Craftworld player it pained me to see that guardian get slapped with a howling banshee rune lol.

I've been collecting Necrons for almost 3 years, have +145 models so far, about 85 assembled. I've painted exactly one set of 10 Warriors beyond primer, trying out different color combos to see what I like. All 10 warriors look like crap, just in different colors.. I have fun collecting, building and kit bashing the models. I go full magnets when I can and I have started molding extra bits to fill missing pieces. Example would be all the Immortals are magnetized to swap guns and I molded extra spines and chests to still use the Deathmark bits on Warrior body's. I've been converting Wraiths into Spyders and having a lot of fun.. But someday soon I have to start putting paint on my minis.

Another great technique I discovered to make gold stand out and not look flat is to use a purple shader like druchii violet as an alternative to riekland flesh-shade or something similar. Purple contrasts with yellow incredibly well and unlike with brown shades that serve to mostly dim the gold, the purple adds some warmth to it that really makes it pop.

I've been painting my Custodes army and it's the first army with power weapons (spears and axes) that are wide spread. I really don't like any of the other common ways that people paint power weapons. So I actually took my roommates nail polish and used that. She had a blue one with little glitter specs that catch the light and make the blades shine. I paint them blue with white highlights, then put a thin layer of nail polish on top. They look dope and are pretty unique to me.

The thing I want to add for shading in recesses or the nooks and crannies is shaders like nuln oil can still be used, but you just brush over where the places where the shade will be. An example is for my ultramarines, I like to use a drakenhof nightshade, a dark bluish shader, and just have my brush go over all the small grooves and such in the armor. It does help with brush control as well since it is possible to get too much shading on an area, but that can easily be fixed by soaking the excess with the brush or just painting over it with the base color and trying again.

Maybe not enough paints for complicated minis for painting competitions, but surely enough to get your journey started and you don't have to spend too much time picking paints for the very first set of your minis. Also with a bit of mixing those few pots can do quite a lot. Have no idea if it is cheaper, but at least it was one step that I could easily cross off from my list and get to painting.

Something I did for chains is paint them warplock Bronze, then use runebreaker iron on just the tops of some links. It looks very different, but very cool.

I just got into painting minis myself bought the Dark Angels Combat Patrol box and then used birthday money to buy wrath of the soul forge king box for my Dark Angels goodness because The LIon is coming soon lol. They turned out a lot better than I thought they would and I have only gotten better as I have gone on. Working on my Primaris Azrael right now and really taking my time with him and getting super into detail with it. on day 3 of working 4 hours at a time on him. Its so much fun and really good way to just shut off my brain for a while and not worry about anything and for the newbies remember to take your time and don't get hung up over the details.

Honestly not a video I expected to see from you, but it certainly is appreciated. It's almost getting me in the mood to buy and paint minis, almost. I'll just stick to the lore, books, roleplaying- and video games. Thank you! Awesome job though!

Ok majorkill, you’ve done it, I’ve folded. I’ve tried for years to avoid the black hole that is collecting minis but with this easy painting guide I am now ready to make finally irresponsible decisions and start painting up some minis

Not sure if you had the issue, but when i used White Scar spray the paint dried before it hit the models, making them appear gritty. I switched to Grey Seer and haven't had an issue. Your Melbourne weather might be better for using white, unlike Brisbane's heat and humidity

I love putting Drakhoff Nightshade over golds as another. It creates a fantastic shade when it drys

You have no idea how much this video actually helps dude, every single video I watched about paiting have this crazy, godlike painted minis, and they are like "oh you can get this good with practice!" Without any real advice or realistic goal as well progress (we all got shit to do on life)

I would suggest watching Brushstroke Painting Guides. His guides are extremely well put together and simple to understand with a lot of visual examples.

Hey King, can you please release a follow-up video for painting chimpanzees to learn how to paint? I am absolute dog water at it, and this video improved my confidence in (potentially) giving it another go. Perhaps a review of which brushes to use in what situation, how to not goof up and paint over the wrong area (besides a steady hand), and maybe even a quick demonstration of a start-to-finish model? Kind of like in this video, but with even greater detail? Cheers from America!

Painting minis and working out have a surprising amount of contact points, and one's mindset can deeply help and strengthen the other. They are both based on the mind-numbing repetition of a series of small tasks that, when isolated, bring zero to little improvement on the overall skill. You don't get good with a single brushstroke like you don't get jacked with a single pushup. Yet, the habit of constant repetition over a long period of time builds up and after a year, if you look at a photo from the year before, you'll see a massive improvement. Also, like working out, one is better off not comparing his own situation to others especially online. It really is a journey of growth rather than a race.

Left a comment a few weeks ago saying I’m on the brink of wanting to start painting, this is just giving me more of a nudge. Been thinking about what my first attempt should be. So far I really like either the blood angels or the raven guard.

You could even drop some green and brown washes onto the oregano on your bases and it would tie it together more and look even more based. Keep it up mate

"As GW white sucks ass" is the most straight forward and honest advice I've ever heard and earned a like for that alone. I'm not in the hobby - yet - but even I've heard this to be the case. It was the first piece of advice my friend gave me.
