ME ENCANTA, ME HAS DADO MUCHAS IDEAS PARA PINTAR LOS MIOS 😃😃😃

[@Hoacakes]

So glad to see you back! Missed seeing your amazing painting skills

[@AbstractArchitectureEnthusiast]

Really cool pick of music

[@NightWolf1982pl]

will you be posting tutorial on this inside helmet glow maybe?

[@DurginPaintForgeMiniatures]

yes! I've not filmed the one you see in this video because it was my very first attempt on doing it, so I had at first to figure out how to do without the pressure of stage XD But you will see it in the next video of this series!

[@joshfreeman3264]

I was hoping to see that too 😬 Love your work and editing is relaxing

[@NightWolf1982pl]

@@joshfreeman3264 i actually don't like it but it's just me;) prefer talking one then music and subtitles ;) but i just switch off the sound and look at part i want and need

[@joshfreeman3264]

@@NightWolf1982pl I find I like most styles. The only style I really don't like is when its 60% or more talking, 40% or less painting. I find it hard to watch duncan and some others for that reason. Just too much talking into a camera! I do like when they talk WHILE I'm watching them work on something. (Sorry to throw a legend under the bus lol. It just brakes up the flow!) There's a balance i guess

[@NightWolf1982pl]

@@joshfreeman3264 i agree 100% and that is what i meant. Whole clip with painting and talking what they are doing or why during painting. So only voiceover, not talking heads;)

[@samconroy]

What an awesome way to come back. Insanely good brush skills as always!

[@DurginPaintForgeMiniatures]

Thank you ^__^

[@aks3383]

well... that is pretty much perfect. I always knew I'd like these minis more when the community got a hold of them. Kudos

[@DurginPaintForgeMiniatures]

They are gorgeous minis. Ok, I'm biased because I love Dwarfs so when GW announced the return of squats (despite being hardly rebooted - and I like more this new incarnation!) I was so happy, but I think that these minis are very well designed and so funny to paint!

[@pedronavarro8633]

Amazing work. Thank you for sharing!

[@lorgor4eva]

1st time watching you’re work as I’ve just picked up some vottan & looking for inspiration & you happened to painting my favourite league URS. It was a real privilege watching you’re work & skills. Though I may never obtain you’re level it definitely gave me inspiration for my own. Really enjoyed watching the video thank you very much. 🙂

[@DurginPaintForgeMiniatures]

Thank you so much for your kind words, Robert :)

Thank you! Indeed it has been a long and tough year, but things are now getting better for what concerns the time I can dedicate to my personal hobby projects! I would like to find again a kind of consistency in my painting schedule :) I hope to be able to share with you my new projects!

Oh I'll make proper bases soon! I'm making some experiments ^^

[@TheBatNaz]

Welcome back!

[@DarioPattarini]

Golden Daemon level, as usual. Love the colour scheme, you're the only one around that made it enjoyable so far

[@DurginPaintForgeMiniatures]

Indeed this was born as a personal challenge, because I usually don't like to paint greens (despite being one of my fav colors!), so I decided to paint with only green tones! :D

[@chesteratienza5175]

Stellar colors brother! Do you have a vid or how to paint that helmet with a face?

[@ecMonify]

yooo, long time no see! :D

[@stemes2860]

Shout out to the wife holding the camera! Deathwatch next please, so I can hate myself. :)

[@tjv2446]

Is the green mix necessary or can a similar effect be achieved with a different colour? Is there any match in Vallejo Model Colour for example?

[@xKage_kunx]

What's the best way to measure paint when mixing large quantities of paint to make a custom pot? I normally just get a dab of equal paint with my brush and mix it on my pallet but how do I go about doing it in bulk?

[@DurginPaintForgeMiniatures]

In general, at first I try to make the mix color I have in mind on my palette, in small quantity, taking note of the mixing ratio. Once I find the mix that I want, I simply "scale it up" the mix to fill a GW empty pot.

[@jakemcloughlin5131]

What was the reason for the hard coat and medium half way through painting?

[@DurginPaintForgeMiniatures]

the 'Ardcoat makes the mini surface smooth, and this helps the wash to flow better in the recesses, reducing the risk to stain the plain surfaces. Once done with the washes, I restore a matt finish on the model with Lahmian medium/Matt medium (because we don't want caramelized armors :D)

[@hailon_rias7341]

Hey man, you didn’t show how you did the red helmet light effect, do you have a video coming for that? If not would you be willing to tell me how?

[@DurginPaintForgeMiniatures]

yes I'm editing it in these days :D

[@marq0992]

Great work. What primer did you use? Vallejo?

[@DurginPaintForgeMiniatures]

Thanks! I use a kind of dark brown/chocolate primer, it's a mix between Vallejo primer German Red and vallejo black primer :)

[@marq0992]

Nice. Thank you.

[@Spiran_SphereHunter]

Yours is probably the nicest example of it but I really don't like the Ursr's green on green, I am thinking for mine to move the dark green to the armor, Switch out the metal for a more brass look and then do the cloth in a grey or deathwing bone coloring, Not sure yet still playing around with options, I want them to be recognizable as Ursr's at a glance but also want to play more into the grim dwarf warrior thing they got going for them

[@bedrichvymyslicky1540]

Máš to fakt hezké :)

[@marq0992]

At the end, was that lahmian medium you were airburshing for the varnishing?

[@DurginPaintForgeMiniatures]

yes!

@@DurginPaintForgeMiniatures ti ringrazio, io ho sempre il problema che la punta si rovina, per quanto provi a conservarla bene. Proverò questi per capire se è un problema dei pennelli che uso (troppo economici) o del pittore

Can you please say, what's the base color for elbow/knee patches and which wash? I want to apply your scheme to my Genestealer Cult army :D

nocturna green as a base, nuln oil, then I add skarsnik green to nocturna green for highlights :)

[@DurginPaintForgeMiniatures]

don't hesitate to ask, of course!

[@freshwaterspaceman7194]

Do you assemble the infantry holding weapons across their chest before painting or do you pain the arms/weapon and chest seperately before piecing them together after? Lovely work and nice vid, cheers!

[@DurginPaintForgeMiniatures]

I paint them separated ^^

[@kukularz]

Great paintjob, but I have to say I'm a bit disappointed in your choice to follow the GW style of skipping the volumetric shading on the armour in favour of uniform edge highlighting, especially given how easy it would be to apply it with an airbrush.

[@DurginPaintForgeMiniatures]

Hi Mateusz! Indeed, I understand that this style might look a bit "old fashioned", nowadays, but I love to paint sci-fi armor this way, it's kinda relaxing and nostalgic for me! Moreover, these guys are meant to be my army, so I'm try to keep as "minimal" as possible at least for the base troops: it's already very time-consuming to paint at this level, so I decided not to invest in extra volumetric lights! I will paint the elite troops and characters with a more "volumetric" approach ;)

[@deanmillard9853]

the detail is nuts. Got dragged over from a reddit post mentioning your votann as inspiration. is there any trick other than a steady hand for the lighting you did inside the helmet?

[@DurginPaintForgeMiniatures]

thanks for your kind words! I reccomend two things: 1) a good brush, not too small (or the color will dry too fast on the bristles) nor too large. I use a windsor&newton series 7, long bristles (watercolor line), size 1. expensive but it makes the difference 2) a correct dilution. For edges highlights, I use the color not too diluted, about 2 parts color 1 part water. Two-three edge sections per time, then wash and load again the brush. bonus tip: after loading the brush (be generous, not just the tip), remove the excess of painting on a paper towel, making a subtle circling movement by rotating gently the brush: this way, you will set a sharp tip that will make the work easier.
