[@fearlessretaliator4997]

The way you paint checkers is so precise and clean.

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

I’ve had so much practice doing now 😛

[@mikkeljepsen3758]

You're really inspiring me to take up Warhammer again and tackle my vast piles of unpainted plastic. Your skill is astonishing, which might normally discourage me from trying myself, but your detailed tutorials give me the confidence to try it anyway and enjoy the process! Keep up the amazing work!

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

that really means a lot thank you :) I'm happy I'm able to give you the confidence to enjoy painting :) it makes it all worth it knowing I can

[@ChrisChansunbornchild]

Going to watch this tonight and do my koptas this weekend thanks for the guide my man

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

Oooo good luck 😃 I hope you enjoy painting em

[@minibang2543]

Absolutely amazing love the way you painted the metals and skin! Keep up your amazing work 👍

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

Thank you very much, that means a lot

[@PixelCommando]

Great ! Right on time ! it's perfect for my upcoming Christmas vacations. i have this box to paint ;) Thanks for your nice videos

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

Wicked, I'm actually working on my own Orks over christmas. It's a bout time to get them done :P christmas time always gets me in the mood to paint Orks, must be the green haha Have fun and thank you

[@Moseth7606]

Man your talent is for me up there with some of the best that have been around years dude!

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

that means a lot, thank you. I love making these tutorials and I always work hard to make them as good as I can

[@rainerzufall9490]

Thank you for this very detailed Paint guide! Would be great if you could do more Ork model tutorials.

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

Your welcome. I’m glad you liked it. More Ork vids in the way I recon

[@wistitimaster4138]

Hello Michael i painted my deffkoptaz the same way with ledbelcher primer but instead of abaddon black i used contrast paint Black Legion, dawnstone and adminastrum grey (if i recall but no blue tones). The bomb is so cool ! really cool paint and sculpts :) Bests tutorials ever im doing Mozrog right now, cheers

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

Black legion works great as well. I like these blue highlight because they contrast really well against the black, more so than grey. ads a lot of colour also. I tend to use grey highlights if I want a more monotone feel. but thats a personal choice, i do both sometimes on the same miniature. The bomb was fun to paint and thats why I left it until last ha glad you like the tutorials and Mozrog was so fun much fun to paint and really looks amazing once done

[@leehrvyoswld]

Just discovered your channel. Bought 30 paints and a Shokkjump Dragsta cuz of you. Going to paint it tomorrow. Thanks for the inspiration and best tutorials on youtube.

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

Welcome to the channel :D make sure to take your time, expect to not be able to paint it in one sitting. I painted a dragsta in about a week but its worth taking the time :) enjoy the process

[@troy_______]

Awesome video, you are really helping me get into the hobby. It is helping me get through my aches tendon injury, by occupying a lot of my time painting!

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

Thank you, I'm Glad I'm my content is helping you get into the hobby. I hope you have a full fast recovery and welcome to the hobby :D

[@MrTpimms]

Love the work on highlighting the casings, definitely gonna put that to use on my CK gun casings!

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

Good luck :D have fun

[@anubis667]

Now that's what I call stylish! I'm painting my deffkoptaz right now and for me they are among the most difficult orks to paint so far. Of course, the reason is that I fully assembled them before painting and now I can barely reach some parts with my brush lol

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

These are tough to make with sub assemblies, it didn't really do much :P just made showing you all how to paint abit easier ha

[@romai51]

Thanks a lot for this video! Just finished my first deafkopta, still far from your level but you're tutorials are priceless. Subscribed on Patreon, cheers from Paris

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

awsome thank you for becoming a patreon :) it really means a lot thank you. I'm glad your enjoying the content :D

[@MrLizard08]

This way of painting ork skin is amazing, since I saw this on your channel I'm using only this way 👍

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

awsome :D

[@horuslupercal2385]

Outstanding painting guide here, Michael. I've got 9 Deffkoptas still sat in my pile of shame but this has inspired me to get these guys up and running for some games in the New Year. Thanks again, keep up the amazing work and wishing you a very Merry Christmas and all the best for 2024 and beyond 🖤🤍🖤🤍🖤🤍🖤

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

🙏🏻 thank you. Merry Christmas and happy new ear to you to 😃 9 deffkoptas, that’s gonna be a challenge haha good luck

Let’s goooooooo, been waiting for this.

Let’s goooooo

[@fakeman6542]

Really stoked to see an ork vid from you again!

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

I like to throw them in now and again 😁

[@j.taylor7361]

I have a heck of a time painting ork skin; I resorted to a combo of contrast paint with a wash over it, but I’m not 100% sold on it. Getting a nice gradient to the layering is tough for me!

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

I love using contrast paints. The key to layering is woring with thin layers and building up the colour slowly.

[@j.taylor7361]

@@TableTopReadyKZbin I’ll have to give that a try! Thanks! My highlights in the Orks always look like ‘muscle islands’!

[@samsorensen5246]

Always enjoyed your videos. Coming back to painting again, thanks for the demonstration.

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

Awesome. Welcome back to the hobby 😁 I hope your enjoying painting

[@StevenTroughtonSmith]

I live for the turnarounds at the end 😄👌

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

what I'll do, when I get chance I'll upload just turn arounds for the more recent videos on Patron for yah.

[@StevenTroughtonSmith]

You could do a short talky/turnaroundy year in review video to remind everybody what you've accomplished. It could even make for a nice channel preview here on KZbin 🙃@@TableTopReadyKZbin

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

🤔 that’s a good idea

[@1987RaPsCaLLioN]

These look great - well done

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

thank you :D

[@tp6498]

Hey Michael great video! I have a question for you about highlighting. I noticed that a lot of painters edge highlight the color red with orange, edge highlight gold with silver etc...are these choices based on color theory or a color wheel? Just curious because those color choices examples ive given wouldn't occur to me naturally. Thanks and Merry Christmas!

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

You want your highlights to really contrast and stand out against the base colour. Generally you would just use a lighter version but that would be pink for red. Pink is better for purple. So we change pink to an alternative. Most of the time you would use an orange or flesh colour depending. Again silver just contrasts really well, you could knock it back mixing it with the gold. I hope that makes sense. Merry Christmas and happy new year to you as well 👋🏻

[@trenthof5931]

Great work, literally got my hands on the patrol set..

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

nice, I hope you enjoy painting it :D

[@Blimm_EL]

Nice videos ! Thanks for sharing knowledge 👏🏻

Your very welcome. Thank you for the comment 😁

[@strollgoth4294]

Wonderful painting and tuto 👍👍👍

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

Thank you :D

[@borissukoi564]

i think you paint minis in the best style, very clean and lots of bright popping colors. id love to see you do some work using less paints for us noobs just getting into the hobby.

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

I'm a huge fan of the eavy metal and GW style. If your just starting out, I really reccomend to painting the base colours. Making sure to practice your basics and getting those solid base colours. When your ready you can add some shading and after that you can do some highlights. you don't have to do everything all at once :) take your time with it

[@YallGonMakeMe245]

Nice vid mate. Wanna get myself some Deffkoptas some day.

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

Do it. More Orks

[@paulkielty8385]

May I recommend a mixture for you, boss? I work with an award winning painter and he advised me to basecoat orks with zandri diary and then use contrast mantis something green. It makes them look amazing. Give it a try!

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

I'm interested. I will give this a try. Thank you

[@Gugu-w4t]

Please do more video on orks. I am keen on your videos and I am an ork player so pls

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

I will when I can :P I'm thinking about a shock attack gun for next year sometime

[@Gugu-w4t]

@TableTopReadyKZbin Ok thank you for your anwser! Continue and I have question! What brush do you use for details ? Thank you and 👋

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

all brushes are listed in the descriptions and shown on the screen when used :)

[@Gugu-w4t]

@@TableTopReadyKZbin okay thank you very much

[@DanManley]

Love your painting guides! How do you attach your sub assemblies to the wood you use out of interest? I always find if I use blu-tack they fall off easily, and if I use super glue I lose a finger trying to get them off with a scalpel 😮

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

I do use super glue to attach them to the blocks, you really don't need a lot thought. I do have a video about how I get my miniatures ready for painting. I talk about it all in that

[@noahsrandomclips4781]

can we see some different deffkoptas of different clans like deathskulls or bad moons?

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

I'm not likely to paint other clans of deffkoptas. I can only suggest using some of my other ork tutorials where i cover different clans and colour schemes and mix them together :)

[@mastercheif5645]

Could you still use this technique for the skin if you used a different colour to prime the model like white or black?

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

Absolutely yes. 💪🏻

[@samvictorino6888]

What kind of glue do you use for attaching them after priming?

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

I either use plastic glue or super glue, depending on how I'm feeling that day haha

[@mizu1000]

Great video - thanks for sharing!

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

I'm glad you think so :D thanks for the comment

[@respawn939]

Nice video asbø always 😁👍 but sad you diden't show us how you did the bases they looks so great🤩🤩

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

Thank you. Apart from painting the details how you would want them. I painted the base and rocks using Doombull Brown. I then use a martian mix from Geek gaming scenics stuck on with PVA glue, rim is just black, this is how I do all my Orks

[@nachtmacher6237]

😊 love it ! 😊

Thank you 😊

[@nachtmacher6237]

@@TableTopReadyKZbin no thank you for getting me in to this amazing hobby.

[@Brissebrajan]

great video! mine are all painted, but i still love watching others paint. I have a sister who is 100% new in the hobby never painted a model in her life (25 years old). She went for chaos, so instead of me wasting my time teaching her how to paint, i sent her a link with your tutorial for painting black legion. And her first ever models looks nothing like mine did when i started painting many decades ago. Her models looks like it was painted by someone who knows how to paint! So great videos mate, they really do help people who are new to the hobby.

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

thats amazing, I'm glad my content has been useful. its make doing all this work worth while :D I hope you both continue to keep ainting and get beter and most of enjoy it

[@Brissebrajan]

@@TableTopReadyKZbin thank you for your reply. I have been painting since old Epic way way back, and then made the move over to 40k back in 2nd edition when the space wolves codex came out (1993-1994). I know how to paint, i just don't have the skills to teach others, that why i love your channel. Even though i like to think that i know everything, even i learn new things every time i watch your videos. =)

[@dantizzy]

Dang, and I glued most of my deffkoptas, I won't be able to disassemble them to make it easier to paint them like how you did.

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

to be honest I only kept th ehead seperate and that really didn't do much haha. you'll be fine :D

[@furiousv775]

I live for Ork content

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

Same 😁

[@fearlessretaliator4997]

You seem to have some sound issues whenever you switch to the camera thats pointing at you Michael.

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

I know, it was a real pain. Something I’m gonna have to fix for the next video. I tried to fix it best as I could though 😩

[@SWATDRUMMUH]

some audio issues around the 4 minute mark, but it's not horrible

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

I know. I tried to fix it as best I could. It’s something I’m going to resolve for the next video 👍🏻

[@SWATDRUMMUH]

@@TableTopReadyKZbin no worries, it just caught me off guard for a sec

[@DudexNOR]

Love your vids! But I need more of da best colla' YELLOW! More dakka dakka

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

Gazz told me goffs

[@DudexNOR]

How is it to paint yellow over the leadbealcher spray? :)@@TableTopReadyKZbin

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

I show bad moons in my Ork clan video and there is a yellow mega armour tutorial as well. I would recommend actually starting from wraithbone and paint the armour first. Then paint the metal parts later. You just need to be a bit careful when doing this

[@cossie118bmk]

whats the diffrence between membership at £5 a month and troop at £3 a month cheers

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

Everyone has access to the same stuff. £5 is kind of the minimum for KZbin and £3 is the suggested minimum for patreon. I wanted people to have a choice of platform. I didn’t want to restrict anyone based on the amount. I wanted that to be a personal choice.

[@cossie118bmk]

@@TableTopReadyKZbin ok mate thanks for that... i will become a patreon shortly for £3 pound a month as your painting tutorials have helped me in a huge way ...again thanks ... my name is also michael lol

[@TheDodgerUk868]

you have gone the way, the people know NOTHING and explain silly minor things. Thank you, you show all the steps to get good results and make it accessible to new and experienced people.

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

I wouldn’t say they are silly or minor. Those things tend to be the most important and overlooked things. Things I wish someone talked to me about. I’m glad you like my content 😁 thanks for the comment

[@remix_0699]

Next time, can you teach me how to paint Battlewagon?

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

one of my early videos is about painting Ork vehicles and if you use along side this one, you should be able to paint the battle wagon no problem. Use an undercoat that best suits your clan colour and paint the armour first, then worry about all the metals after

[@cades93041]

great video, but for some reason the sound cut in and out a bit in parts.

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

Yeah I did have issues but I sorted it for future tutorials 👌🏻

[@Vladimir-Shestakov]

Moooore orcs!

maybe :P

[@kaspersaldell]

Tbh from your channel name I didn't expect much in terms of skillful painting. But Holy shit, you're at least as good as a 'eavy metal painter.
