Loving the fact you're doing Heroquest, I also have the game & just about to start painting them as well.😊

[@MiniatureHobbyist]

Its a cool box and lots of great things to paint 🙂

[@Dannydarko27]

Thanks for these, i love that you show us the colors you use too

[@minibang2543]

Those orks look amazing! Love them. Will you ever maybe make a speedpaint tier list?

[@erinweatherly6539]

Always live showing the color you’re using. Just helps to see what they can do. I specifically bought Runic Grey after seeing you use it for denim on dem Boyz

[@MiniatureHobbyist]

Cheers, yeah that grey is my go to jean look 🙂

[@BubbleButtsColoringBooks]

Great video, appreciate the paint dropper bottle shot for color, brand and style prior to application.

[@MiniatureHobbyist]

Cool, I will continue to do that then 🙂

[@DMKen]

Another great video

[@MiniatureHobbyist]

Thank you so much 🙂

[@robmarcjon]

Brilliant

[@intzbk1]

I've found for the AP metallic speed paints, you really have to make sure they are mixed well. When not in use, they separate a lot, keep mixing until the heavier paint on the bottom is mixed in. I've found that a paint mixer that You-Tubers use works well for this. If mixed well, they do a great job IMO. There are a few Citadel Contrast/Technical paints that have the same problem with Tesseract Glow being the worst, you need a toothpick to stir that one. And yes, I like when you show the colors.

[@user-jq4bu5lr7j]

I would enjoy seeing you paint the big Orc on the motorcycle. Keep it up and paint some more please.

[@MiniatureHobbyist]

Im currently painting him and the video should be out this weekend 🙂

[@leewright415]

Looking forward into watching you paint the skeletons and mummies.

[@SnyperMac1]

For Ork eyes i usually use some mephiston red then dot the centre with some evil sunz scarlet

[@ribbitribbit4707]

Id like to see what you do with the Abomination minis. The orcs look really good.

[@MiniatureHobbyist]

I will take a look at them 🙂

[@hereonmars]

It's so crazy you're doing this now because I just bought the rerelease myself

[@MiniatureHobbyist]

Its a great set/game and I cant wait to start on a 3D board 🙂

[@sirpoupadou]

Another lovely video! You have great knowledge about painting metals, it would be great to have an episode solely dedicated to metals of different colours and the different washes you use, all in one video. This blue effect armour looks really good! Also do you varnish your models? Cheers, and merry Christmas! 🎉

[@allenforbes8108]

more fun times painting ahead.

[@MiniatureHobbyist]

indeed, I cant help myself lol 🙂

[@Xvampirex2]

If you have issues wih the depth you can go a very easy route with eyes if they are a colored eye. touch the eye socket with a watered down white and then go over with a speed paint. It ends up giving it a gentle glow effect. As for actual eyes with a pupil i dont have a great recommendation other than its a lot of practicing and fixing mistakes and redoing.

[@Dr.G.Monamie749]

Definitely helps including the colours you use, thanks for including it. You should have an affiliate with army painter as I'm going to want to get hold of them now lol. I'm bound to not be the only one as well. 😊.

[@rainerdrake7975]

I bought the Mega Set pretty much down to these videos. Especially the minotaur one. Fast and simple.

[@MiniatureHobbyist]

Thank you, they are very kind to me though and send me all the sets for free 🙂

[@jaysonstewart3537]

Great job with that speed paint. Eyes are always a trick. Practice is the only real way to get better at eyes. That being said, don’t paint the mini looking head on. Give the subject a sideways glance so you’re not trying to give them a straight on stare.

[@zacspawn]

Great job man!! Are the Speed Paints the Ver.1 or Ver.2 that you are using?

[@loxxovvoxxol2896]

Maybe try holding the mini upside down while doing the eyes - it seems to help me, though I'm not very good at painting to be honest...

[@JimmiWazEre]

When you put the red on from the layer range, it'd help you to thin it before applying. As it is, you're going back to the pot each stroke because there's not enough moisture on the brush, and by the end there's this big caked blob of dry paint making your brush tip blunt.

[@MiniatureHobbyist]

Cheers for the tips bud 🙂

[@JimmiWazEre]

@@MiniatureHobbyist youre welcome, generally, the smaller the brush, the thinner the paints need to be, because the less moisture they retain

[@reidnet]

Brilliant orcs! Would you recommend Army Paints over Citadel/ Warhammer then?

[@SlocumJoe7740]

I have all the expansions for Hero Quest but I have yet to paint any of them lol

[@MiniatureHobbyist]

Then this is the easy way to get them all done, I will be getting the expansions soon so more for me to paint 🙂

[@skycladobserver9246]

How about doing the other 4 orcs (the females) and the goblins as well.

[@Part_time_spacemarine]

Is the thunderhawk still being built?

[@MiniatureHobbyist]

erm....sorry, I cant quite hear you 🙃

[@Part_time_spacemarine]

Oh i wanted to try to build one hope her pieces went somewhere nice😅​@MiniatureHobbyist

[@barrygavin749]

Maybe paint the other four orks 😅

[@christopherjakel1049]

If your painting these HQ 2021 minis, I'd ditch the vacuumed platic tray molds.

[@ArnoldJudasRimmer..]

Every up and coming painter. Or newbie to our fantastic hobby, should be steared towards your content man.

[@MiniatureHobbyist]

Cheers, yeah I keep it easy and simple as thats how I like to paint lol 🙂

[@ArnoldJudasRimmer..]

@@MiniatureHobbyist that is exactly why any person looking to join our community should check out your content man. So much content is built for aspiring pro painters. Always start simple. Add whatever you want to your style, whatever works for you is right. There is no wrong way to paint I have always said. Too many are put off by overcomplicated methods.

[@ArnoldJudasRimmer..]

*says that after glazing a forgeworld Crimson Paladin shoulder pad for the last hour* 🤷🤣
