Love how Jon keeps trying to convince himself he’s speed painting an entire army in every other video and then can’t help himself and starts doing 4 layers of highlights on the skin and only does like 4 miniatures 😂

Honestly I like the approach of “I paint an army in a way that gets the most out of the hobby” rather than “paint lots fast”. Sometimes it’s fun to just watch someone paint and hear some commentary. Don’t feel pressured to make every video about something new. 👍

Despite recent disability you are one of the few creators that can get me out of my funk and working on my massive pile of gray, Not sure what it is but you always make me feel like I can knock some minis out from my pile of 10s of 1000s. With the extent of my nerve damage I found that 3D printing is one of the few things I can do so for the better part of 3 years I have had 2-6 printers running each day without assembling a single army. When I look at my mountain of shame its over whelming but then I put you on and I feel like I can knock a few minis out. Thank you.

Can't stress how important it is to keep your batches at a reasonable amount for you. I was painting the miniatures for Zombicide: Dead or Alive, and would get burnt out just in one group of 8 zombies, rushing the details on the last step(s), my paint job suffering for it. Moving forward, I had to drop it down to groups of 4, and maybe if I get more efficient/patient with my painting, I will be able to go back up to 8.

Thanks I needed to hear that “pick on technique to focus on with army project so you can get good at it” sigh….i don’t know why that wasn’t so obvious, however I’m new to this hobby and I feel like a sponge that has gotten WAY to full and often feel like I’m just trying to figure out how to do ALL the techniques right away! By far, best advice I’ve heard…well that and the advice “just have fun with it” 😊 Thanks! Can’t wait to see what you do next! I would like to see a character so I can see how you change up your style for the bigger dudes that lead.

I've been painting armies for about 25 years now on and off. Every army I've done since my early twenties I've picked a particular thing I wanted to focus on nailing for that army. My last army was heresy Salamanders and I wanted to learn how to use multiple oil washes to get some smooth polychromatic shading down, aiming to get a look close to the colour plates in the heresy books. The army before that was yellow sisters of battle which was all about setting up a bright yellow that looked rich and multi-toned without taking a million years, also branching out into mass producing putty rolled bases. Before that I did nighthaunt, learning how to make smooth gradients look good. Pick something you really want to nail, try a few things with that specifically until you've got it looking great, then you can just fill in the rest in whatever way feels comfy. At the end, even if everything isn't perfect, that one thing you nailed will give you an anchor to be proud of and a new skill to be comfy with!

I feel like key really is to focus on using techniques you enjoy doing (with the possibility of adding one to practice), making incremental progress, and failing forward (like your tip with the scratches on the wet blending). You will finish if you enjoy the process and set achievable goals for the time you have at the painting table.

I’m pretty new to painting. So far I’ve just done a spearhead for idoneth Deepkin. One of the hardest things for me to accept is that I need to try new things even if they’re going to not look good the first time I try it. For example, my thrall did not turn out well. But I learned some things and by the time I got to my shark, it’s been my best painted model.

I'm just glad to hear I'm on the right track learning; painting my first army custodes; I tried multiple methods for the scheme I wanted to do and settled on layering. I liked how it looks best. I tried the direct color, metallics, and such but layering seemed to get the best look. So layering for the scheme and just doing metallics on other areas. It's been a fun process and I'm enjoying it just 8+ hrs per model is painful and once I start painting I can't get myself to put the paint brush down until the model is complete. Still need to do basing but I think I will do that separately to keep on doing the focus on one method at a time.

I've been trying your flesh tone formulas out on my clanrats. I figured every 5 I'd try out a new color scheme. I'm 4 schemes in now. My favorite so far is the Burnt Red / Ratskin Flesh / Luminous Flesh (I substituted Flayed One Flesh here). Least favorite is the one you mixed the Red Rougue and Knorne Red. It came out EXTREMELY pink for some reason. I could't find any of that Game Color Purple you had in another scheme at my LGS so I tweaked that recipe. Went Terrestial Titan Purple, Dark Warm Grey and Vampyric Flesh. Came out pretty interesting. And the Barak-Nar/Mocca Skin/Pastel Pink came out pretty good too.

I really love the look of that basing scheme. Not owning a 3d printer, I'm stuck with some of the more widely accessible "basing bits" kits out there, and most of them are just not a good fit for rank and file basing. I've got a few boxes of the Gamer's Grass basing bits, and the bits are just too big to be viable on the smaller bases without a lot of work. I'd love it if there was an easy to get box of those smaller cobble stone pieces to buy.

Love the vid! As always, great info and advice. On a different note, have you considered using paint pens for simple quick stuff? I just watched Jazza's new video on some paint pens and was impressed by the speed and coverage of the markers! I wouldn't use them "hero" or competition pieces obviously, but for fast simple things the markers seem legit! Maybe chech out the video, it's titled "Ohuhu's new PAINT markers? NOT what I expected..." New paints/toys to try out.

I will try to emulate some of your triads when my Skaventide set arrives. 😁
