Word is, he just about has a box of these boys ready for the table

[@JuggerNutts]

Your Ork tutorials truly made my painting skills go from waagh to WAAAAAGH. Love your channel brotha🤙🏻

[@InfernalBrush]

Thanks so much Randy, glad it was useful!

[@heretichobbies]

The best Ork tutorial available I’ll certainly be trying to use some of this for my army

[@InfernalBrush]

Thank you for watching Heretic!

[@renaultdavey]

brush control is unreal looks like your putting the paint on with a pen

[@lofilevelling7830]

Obsessed with that white armour. Love it.

[@Posenstar]

This is just amazingly good. Informative ✔️ Well composed ✔️ Making it look silly easy ✔️ Very comfortable and easy voiceover ✔️ I mean, I simply have no negative to say about this (or the Ork skin video). Just set the bar, can't wait for more videos 💯💯

[@Jendram]

You've nailed the 'Eavy Metal style. Keep this good work ongoing. Thank you so much!

[@InfernalBrush]

Thanks for watching!

[@faidon90125]

I find really helpful the picture-in-picture view of the wet palette because I can estimate the paint dilution! Excellent!

[@InfernalBrush]

Glad its useful! Thanks for watching!

[@Splatterpunk_OldNewYork]

Have a 5th edition starter boxed set to paint. Those orks are gonna make Gork and Mork proud with this painting tutorial.

[@neilatherton4290]

I got back into painting 5 or 6 months ago because of my love of all things ork. I've since painted maybe 40 or 50 of the little green buggers, but have kept searching for what I thought was the best approach/paint scheme to follow. This video, with the first on ork skin, is hands-down the best I've seen. This is exactly what I inspire to. Well done!

[@InfernalBrush]

That's really kind thank you! Glad it was useful to you.

[@toadusmondus]

Absolutely incredible work! Thank you for sharing, and more videos please!

[@stevemazza]

Your shading is the best I've ever seen.

[@S11iPe33YDi3k]

Looks great, I can really relate with the Ork, we both have legs the same length as toothpicks

[@Dmitry_Solid]

Amazing job✊ It looks fantastic, especially impressed by the work with a white shoulder pad👏👏👏

[@InfernalBrush]

Thank you!

[@terrydactyl2077]

How do you get paint not drying immediately on the brush for the smallest lines? Like at 21:35

[@njkf]

Great stuff. Out of curiosity; could you make a video about the procedure you follow when painting? Like concepts that go into how you are taught to paint when you learn the 'Eavy Metal style - how to thin paints, how much paint to load on the brush, how to do these crazy thin lines you do, bracing for control etc. It may seem arbitrary to you because by now it would be second nature, but for many of us, getting these core concepts wrong will only mean that the errors compound and make it very difficult to follow along with you. Perhaps you could go in-depth about the concepts of the 'Eavy Metal style you constantly use: Chunky highlights, soft shades etc. The abstract idea behind them, how to execute the techniques from start to finish. Thanks!

[@InfernalBrush]

This is a great idea for a future video. Thank you!

[@matthewkouparitsas1986]

This would be terrific - I try my best as I learn more, but the most valuable part of these kinds of painting videos are the little tidbits of technique and colour theory that are included here and there

[@remarcabull]

@@InfernalBrush definitely something worth doing, its where im struggling the most i feel. you make it look so easy :)

[@willrodster]

Outstanding work. An absolute pleasure to watch. I've just started my adventure into miniature painting and this makes me want to go further than rather give up. The only downside is the amount of paints involved. It's gonna take ages and a huge investment lol. Cheers and keep these videos rolling.

[@D00M3R-SK8]

I though this guy is screaming for a red/badlands style base (opposite on the colour wheel from the green and green/blues, but in common with the fleshtone highlights, the white and yellow armour and the eyes. Was happy to see you went with this option.

[@AlexGasol]

😱 that was amaizing...

[@timofthestars4076]

So much valuable information here - the attention to detail is insane. Thanks for sharing dude!

[@InfernalBrush]

Thanks Tim! Glad it was useful!

[@RockSplitter]

I’d be nuts to attempt painting a whole army to this standard, but I’m tempted to try. Good job!

[@InfernalBrush]

Yeah its definitely time consuming doing it this way, I wanted to really push it to a display standard. However I think there's a lot you could simplify for an army, cutting down on the blending and doing more edge highlights and would still look amazing.

[@remarcabull]

Absolutely amazing, your the only paint vids I watch now. Thank you

[@AndyYoung]

Wyldwood contrast is turning out to be a go-to shade, right up there with Agrax and Nuln Oil. It thins way, way down quite easily so it's super flexible. Great video.

[@InfernalBrush]

Thanks for watching! Yeah I've been impressed with a few of the contrast paints to be honest, cygor brown, black templar, gorgruntra especially on metallics. But yeah Wyldwood is very nice. They are kinda like inks in many ways.

@@InfernalBrush 👌 What wet palette do you use? It seems to be far more hydrophobic than mine, when you mix colours etc

[@madmardigan158]

I am trying to give more than one like, but it is impossible unfortunatly. Loved the video

[@musicaddicteddu33]

Amazing job my guy, thank you very much indeed for sharing! One question though, what is this wet kind of cloth you use to lay and mix your paints (it stands on the top right corner of your video). It seems super useful to keep the paint blobs from drying up while you are painting. Many thanks!

[@musicaddicteddu33]

Never mind, I just found out, I'm guessing wet palettes from citadelle

[@dariuszm4490]

I love your work :) Your ork is beautiful! Can you suggest other color sets for the pants so that they are not all the same?

[@DatTuxedoPenguin]

First off wanna say this is amazing! Love watching these while I paint. Not to follow along but sometimes you give good advice, and then you are just calming to listen to. So off to my question. Out of curiosity, how long do you get as a eavy metal painter to finish a unit for the box art? Are the deadlines hard to keep or are you gives very good time for each project? Thanks for the amazing content mate~

[@InfernalBrush]

Thank you for the kind message. It really depends on the unit however a standard space marine is around 2.5 days, the same for an ork really. So an entire unit of 5 would be around 12.5 days (thats 7.5 hours a day). The deadlines are much better nowadays than 10 years ago however there's always projects that are more difficult to hit the deadline. It could really be anything from a particular paint or colour scheme being more difficult or the assembly/ resin having problems. So yes deadlines are generous however it can still be a stressful job like any other and ofcourse it still has to meet the quality standards. I hope this answers your question!

[@maxroberts90]

This is fantastic - my new favourite channel! I want to aim to paint my hero’s to this level What brushes do you use? Thanks!

[@woolblanket379]

I may attempt this for some of my ork HQ's, though I'm not sure I would be able to achieve this level of smoothness and detail.

[@InfernalBrush]

Thank you for watching! You can do it!

[@clayton2384]

Honestly I’m speechless at the way you paint each part of the model. Where do you come up with the color combinations? Awesome video. Can you paint a deathguard pallid hand model.

[@InfernalBrush]

Thank you! I love the pallid hand colour scheme so that's a real possibility. Perhaps I could make a future video on the colour topic. Theres a lot to play about with in colour and probably too much to tackle in a single comment unfortunately.

[@TheAdonides]

if i can ask what is the Recipe for the base? im corious about. you mixing the clay and the miliput, flat it and let dry in kitchen paper?

[@Batlord2000]

are you using air version of citadel paints in some case like you use in some cases for vallejo ? I feel like no matter how much i dilute standard citadel they stick to and eventually are sort of absorbed by the wet pallet's paper as im painting for long sessions, while your (and other pros) paint never really stick to its surface and always stay very liquid and flowing. Im trying to figure out why...

[@InfernalBrush]

I do own some air versions yeah, I only ever really use the averland sunset air though as it is superior to the normal version. I would recommend if you haven't already, switching your palette paper for baking paper Reynolds baking parchment (US) and sainsbury's baking paper (UK) both work well and don't absorb the paint.

[@eXORCY]

Very nice work! One question: how much time do you spend on a miniature as this one? Thanks!

[@D00M3R-SK8]

which matte glaze medium do you use, please?

[@InfernalBrush]

Hey I use Daler Rowney glaze medium matt.

[@D00M3R-SK8]

@@InfernalBrush in the big yellow, pot? I have that as well. I made my own from a midwinter minis video. I wondered if you made your own or if you used the vallejo stuff as heard good things about that.

[@InfernalBrush]

@@D00M3R-SK8 I've had the vallejo stuff go glossy on me, the daler stuff has never failed me yet. I think because its a heavy body artists medium it never separated like the more liquid ones do. I use this one www.amazon.co.uk/75ml-Dr-Glaze-Medium-Matt/dp/B002AF9AP4 but I suppose the yellow one is similar. I also use some AK ultra matte mixed in sometimes if I want an even matter finish.

[@D00M3R-SK8]

@@InfernalBrush yeah the one I have is matte medium for mixing paints I think. you can mix it into a medium like lahmian formula though, so might work for similar purpose. I suppose they're the same sort of thing.

[@davicanabrava9844]

missing your videos

[@schmodizzle4465]

How do you no the recipes and what paints your going to use ? I consider myself a pretty good painter , but I cannot just conjure up recipes for fear of something looking rubbish. Would really appreciate your help in this matter.

[@InfernalBrush]

The best way to learn about colour recipes and combinations is through trial and error. Stick some test miniatures together and play about with a few colours, maybe check around online for recipes to get an idea for what works and how to highlight or shade different colours. Even 'eavy metal will paint test miniatures and also use photoshop to test out colour combinations before deciding which will become the main scheme for the box art.

[@schmodizzle4465]

@@InfernalBrush really appreciate it

[@Lil-monkeyo]

How do you keep your bristles so stiff?

[@macraggeblues]

I'm painting since 2 month now, but can't seem to get a lot of techniques right, I utterly failed my attempt at wet blending and glazing... my miniatures look dull and flat. I'll probably never be as good as you, doesn't matter how many time I spend from my lifetime. I just got these boys today in a package, and already messed up the first mini. I have your videos on replay, but it's kinda depressing LOL...

[@kaotictube]

I don't think people appreciate how small are the detail you're painting since you used a very clear zoomed view. But they are SMALL! Great video and brush control!

[@InfernalBrush]

Thank you!

[@lanceallenminiatures6860]

What are you using to make the base? Looks like resin off cuts.

[@InfernalBrush]

Milliput/Fimo mix, fold into fine layers, bake in the oven for 10 mins around 160 degrees, take out and cut/break into pieces whilst its still warm.

[@adamhellings9448]

[@vaelo1379]

looks awesome of course, but with +300 orks in a box and a lot of vehicles, 2hours per miniature is just not worth.,
