I RUINED My New Minis... Can I Fix Them?

In rushing to get minis ready for a recent video, I absolutely trashed two of my Rumbleslam Orcs with paint jobs I wasn't happy with... this is my journey to get them fixed back up, in a single session.

Very inspiring paint jobs! Just waiting for my starter set(along with some extras) to arrive.

[@markhickson9087]

Great improvement and definitely worth the time to repaint these two orcs.

[@TesseractMinis]

Thanks Mark, I think so too and I think I'm going to uplift the rest of the box to this standard

[@mekpriestchris8746]

Definitely a big upgrade. That said I wouldn’t say blasting through them in the first place was a mistake necessarily. Getting them all good to go quickly and getting onto falling in love with the game can be a solid strategy. And I would have to wonder how much longer it would have taken to get going, if every model had to be this standard for you to start. Getting the models ready to go, and then finding some time to glow them up a bit later on, kinda gives the best of both worlds. The fast gratification of play, and then the deeper satisfaction of slowly improving the experience and giving more love to your favourite models. It’s also a testament to how nice and thin contrast dries, allowing you the room to come back in with traditional paints. Solid video bud, good food for thought.

Oh I don't think that it's universally wrong to just rush paint a boardgame to get it coloured in for play, and I certainly don't think I said that here. But for me, in this case, since we're playing a lot of Rumbleslam, I ended up regretting the rush and feeling a strong need to go back and correct it. In this case, the two Orks featured here took less than a day to upgrade the paint on, even with the added time of filming it. So with that in mind, if I'd have just given each team a couple of days, they'd have looked MUCH nicer.

[@chrisgoodier6825]

Honestly the difference is night and day! They look amazing now.

[@williamprm]

Nice one. I did the same and re-painted after being unhappy with the GW green contrast I used.

[@daniellof453]

Wrestling and minipainting is just the perfect combo!

[@TesseractMinis]

Couldn't agree more!

[@morgankelly3526]

They look great. Well worth the extra time. I especially like the stripes on their clothing.

[@TesseractMinis]

Thank you, Morgan!

[@lord17c]

if the end product makes you happier, it is certainly worth your time and effort.

[@Grognard-Solo-Gaming]

Wow! Well done, definitely worth the time! 👍👏

[@cm60854]

Not only was it great to see how to fix bad paintwork, seeing you do some of those basic techniques has been really helpful for me as a beginner

[@TesseractMinis]

So happy to hear this. Thanks for watching, Charles!

[@cm60854]

@@TesseractMinis thanks for making the videos. I have a question about your brush technique, that I may have asked before. When you were doing the highlights your brush maintained its tip, is that just a light touch or are the bristles particularly firm?

[@TesseractMinis]

I use fairly soft brushes, but I twist my brush tip against the back of my thumb every few strokes, to keep it pointed. It does often mean I have a stripey thumb but it does make life easier.

[@cm60854]

@@TesseractMinis thanks, I've always been pretty bad with fine motor skills, and doing any sort of detail work has been a big headache for me.

[@Mikey__R]

Now it makes sense! Yes, that's a definite improvement. If you've only got a couple of minis in the ring, then you don't have the advantage of scale to make an impressive scene.

[@TesseractMinis]

Absolutely! When you play with about it 5 models a side, I think it's really worth spending a little time on each.

[@nortonroughley1890]

The leotards are FIRE and red highlight make Orcs more Oni loking

[@chrisball249]

Well worth the extra effort! Well done mate, they look ace.

[@TesseractMinis]

Cheers, glad you like them and thanks for watching!

[@67OMC]

Well worth it mate!

[@bobavontanelorn5713]

That was a great one. Thank you!

[@TesseractMinis]

Thank you, for watching! If you liked it, please do share because youtube seems to be burying it!

[@RoderickPommier]

Damn! I’m inspired to give my Blightkings another go

[@TesseractMinis]

Do it!

[@johnhanley5546]

world of difference! keep the vids coming!

[@TesseractMinis]

Thanks John! Cheers for watching!

[@DavesMiniMenagerie]

Maybe all the orks have some sort of skin condition?

[@chrisball249]

Will you be painting the ring too?

[@TesseractMinis]

I have a couple of ideas with the ring, and I'm still deciding which way to go with it. It certainly won't be left plain though!

[@silvandarart]

Thank you for showing the dark side of creativity 😅 so often we want to bury our "mistakes" and not learn from them x
