Important Lessons for Painting Warhammer Miniatures

[@MiniatureMasterClass]

FINALLY someone explaining the proper use of Zenithal priming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So much wasted primer on the a lot of the giant channels.

[@jimiarundell]

This is my fav painting vid ever. Not only have you got great tips, but I like the way you remind people to not make the whole thing punishing and that you point out where you think you've gone wrong and how you move forward. Wicked vid from a top guy. Banging.

[@LizardofDoom]

What a glowing review, thank you mate I appreciate it!

[@jimiarundell]

@@LizardofDoom Been in the hobby since 1989 (fuck I'm getting old!) and so much of the hobby and the fanbase is so dry and pretentious. So, great to enjoy your vids of someone who is clearly bang into 40K, got top-quality advice and obviously a wicked person. Keep up the good work - having these vids play whilst I'm in the office is making the day way better.

[@PistolPeteLee]

I learnt more here than I have in countless painting videos.

[@LizardofDoom]

Thank you mate 🙂

Patience an positivity and look after ourselves. I really appreciate your videos, the healthy positive vibe and your skill. Thank you. I came to your channel just to post my appreciation and I saw this video. Bingo more great messaging and knowledge. I appreciate you! You just brightened my day out here in North Central America.

[@LizardofDoom]

Thank you man, you’re too kind! I appreciate you too!

[@tetetons]

Hey man just found your channel and I love it! I agree with others saying that you make painting feel way more approachable. Seeing you hit a wall, make a mistake or even reach your limit is super refreshing in that its relatable. I has made me feel less stressed/anxious when approaching my own models. I also enjoy hearing your thought process while painting as it really illustrates the whole process. Keep at it! 100% can't wait to see more content from you!

[@LizardofDoom]

Thank you I really appreciate you saying this its a lovely review! I have concerns I seem like a complete amateur but I'd rather be honest than make everything glossy and unrealistic. :)

Thank you for introducing and explaining your errors in the proccess of painting, not so many do, and it's importat to naturalize that part of the proccess :) Been watching your videos for a month or somethn like that, love your videos bro!!!!

Thank you mate, I don't want be a sterile channel with perfect tutorials, i'd rather be me ☺

The tech priests name is Magi Cfingr. This particular STC has crucial knowledge on how to create more dexterous finger and hand prosthetic. It also allows for easy swapping to various attachments that have many uses.

[@bldos5362]

like a vibrating hand? That could be a useful stc to hunt for. 🤔

[@GeorgieQuidd]

a good trick for glass, (even if the paint job aint great) is a thin coat of uv resin. makes a great realistic effect

[@adhenry1880]

to be honest i like the effect you have done with the glass orb - it looks like steam or vapour cloud at the top of the bulb which is accurate with the bubbling liquid under pressure and potentially boiling

[@LizardofDoom]

Thank you for science-ing the paint job I’m not happy with in to making sense 😂

Magos T0-strus 74. A lesser tech-priest he ascended to the title of manpulis after finding a STC shard on Griba prime. The STC in question made his skatarii cohort able to travel through the warp without losing there minds or turning into a chaos spawn.(cinda like a mini galler field. Plz pick me😂)

Name - Xarcon Crass Lore Snippet - Power. That is the only guiding ethos of Xarcon. He knows that if he is more powerful, the omissiah will bless him with the ability to better serve. Willing to do anything in this pursuit, he has pulled all his favors built over his very long life to get here. He is galled to need the help of this flesh-bag Sirus, but this task necessitates the use of meat shields. Luckily, the hazards of this quest mean that Xarcon is unlikely to need to tie up loose ends once he has his prize.

[@LizardofDoom]

Love it ❤️

[@AcoylteKraven82]

12:30- I honestly thought you were going to say you didn’t like it because yes, the liquid in the bottle is a straight line but when you place the model on a flat surface it’s not perfectly horizontal. In my opinion it still looks good regardless I understand what you meant on how you could have done a better job and I can definitely see what you’re issues with it is. But because of my lack of knowledge and experience with painting “glass” objects I don’t really know how to do it! So if you have a different video that you did it the way you wanted or you know of a video that has it in it could you point me in the right direction? Either way I think you are doing a great job as of now regardless!

[@LizardofDoom]

thank you mate, I haven't got a glass video but next time it comes up on a mini i'm doing for the channel i'm really going to study it before tackling it.

Another good video. Any chance for a black armour painting tutorial??? Any tips?

[@LizardofDoom]

Interesting, I think the best way I’ve done before is a zenithal prime with black legion contrast, then a dark bluey colour like stegadon scale green as a thin edge highlight and then a really light blue for spot highlights on corners and top edges

[@lambo7]

@@LizardofDoom thanks a lot for that. I’ll give it a go.

[@LizardofDoom]

@lambo7 there’s another black contrast called black templar but it’s a bit bluey just depends on what style you want, that’d also work

[@lambo7]

@@LizardofDoom cheers, its for Black Templars, i think i've got some black legion contrast, but i'll have to order some stegadon green. if thats not what i like, i'll get some black templar too

Dear Mr. Lizard, if you'll allow this non-wardollies bit of nerdery for a moment, I'd like to ask about your microphone... At 2:10 your mic (looks like a blue yeti?) is in shot and seems a good distance from your mouth-hole (which I assume is the origin of your meat-noises* in this video). Is that the mic used in this shot, and did your audio track require much/any work in post? Sincerely, Kris of Mars, Amateur Sound Nerd Professional Avoids Painting My Models Nerd. Edit for clarity... * "meat-noises" was meant to be an amusing way of phrasing "words" (kinda riffing on the short story They're Made Out of Meat by Terry Bisson). It was only hours after our exchange I realized it might have seemed like I was having a go at the quality :( As noted below I was actually looking for pointers, since I've got a similar set-up for my voice-over work, and was impressed with the result. I honestly thought there might have been a more expensive mic we couldn't see :D I sometimes forget that my brand of dead-pan dry delivery often fails to translate to pure text :/

[@LizardofDoom]

Hiya mate check out the more recent content and the audio is a fair bit better quality, it’s all about the pre set up to record rather than editing it afterwards. These days the only after editing I do is take out horrible asmr breathing noises.

[@KristovMars]

@@LizardofDoom Honestly I was impressed with the result - I actually wanted to know your secret! Bad audio makes me switch off pretty much immediately. My Yeti feeds into Audacity, then I get rid of all my lovely lip-smacking and wheezing :D Oh yeah, mad response time! Best wishes from The Colonies south of Indonesia
