[@goneaerial41]

Really enjoying these color cube models. It would really be cool to do shorts with just these random pulls. Another neat concept would be to pick an army you want to paint, pick three models from the same unit, paint one with a color card of your choice and the other two with random pulls from each box. Then have the community vote on the best looking one and commit to painting the army in that scheme in a follow up video.

[@IIItiberius]

After your last video on this I purchased one and wrote their customer service to tell them about the video. They are almost all gamers there! They love the video too! When you buy the cube it comes with color matching downloads for paint brands like Prisma Color, etc. I suggested they add some for Citadel, Army Painter, etc. They are going to look into it. It's a great tool and the downloads are a real bonus - thanks for introducing it to everyone in this community! Great video - as always

[@madchemist5082]

I am an old guy that is relatively new to the hobby. Painting has been very intimidating - and I always struggle with where to begin. Your videos have been great and inspire me to simply try stuff and not worry too much about it. This is another great 'place to start' and lowers the barrier to just dive in and grab the brushes! Thanks, and please keep them coming! As others have stated, I could watch an entire series based on random pulls from the cube.

[@oldman1111]

Hey old guy! I'm not super old, but my body thinks I am. Have you broken into painting yet, or are you still debating about how to begin/dive in? I am just now coming back into painting after a 10 year hiatus and I'm a bit intimidated. Most people I've talked to say it's like riding a bike, but I'm not sure yet. :)

[@simondale2833]

I painted this miniature in almost the same colours (a similar blue and yellow) and now I'm dying because of the firefighter comparison.

[@fleetadmiralmatteo4123]

This works. I love working with limited color pallets. It forces you to be creative, and to really push your understanding of color theory and blending. You can keep making these videos any time.

[@alanhughes172]

I've only been painting for about 4 years since lockdown, but watching your videos makes my new hobby more enjoyable. Thanks for not being too serious .you present the show great .

Problem is $110 for a board game of a video game with no new models, new sprue but nothing actually new ....nty gee dubz

[@terrencemiltner1005]

Though KS has proven there is a market for a $100+ board game with a pile of plastic minis. So this may sell better than we think. Maybe gee dub is finally figuring out they should create some on ramps to their prime product line.

[@nichan008]

@@terrencemiltner1005 No 100$ on ramps for me thank you very much... Max 40 for an exploratory purchase

[@DaveLPable]

There's always the possibility of just taking a look online for potential color schemes - like adobe color

[@cleverlizzerd4473]

​@@terrencemiltner1005 Maybe, maybe not. GW has been doing limited runs of board games forever. However, from casual observation, they generally fall in two "tracks". The "fan-boy" track with new sculpts and sold exclusively by Games Workshop, like: Dreadfleet, Space Hulk 3rd Ed., Warhammer Quest. These were always premium ≥ $120 games. Then there's the "on-boarding" track, typically with older and/or repurposed sculpts, sold at big box retailers, like: Lost Patrol 2nd Ed., Space Marine Adventures. These have generally been ≤ $60. What we've got in Dark Tide is possibly the worst of both tracks. The repurposed sculpts of the "on-boarding" track but closer in price to the "fan-boy" track. The value bump perhaps coming from 1.5 to 2 of the minis being heroes which cost $35 standalone. Value being relative, if you're that hobbyist inclined to collect Imperial Smorgasbord. Oh, and you get a probably OK board game to go with all them minis. It's also only being sold by GW. So the newly initiated 40k fan enticed by the $40 Darktide video game can't just stumble upon the game at Barnes & Noble and acquire it on an impulse buy. Nay, they must to seek out GW on their own turf to drop that hundo and change in tribute. Thinking about it, the consumer the Darktide board game would appeal to "most" is at the centermost circle of [Cmdr.] Dante's Venn Diagram. Persons that are prexisting GW fans and/or really into the Darktide video game, already inclined to shop at a Warhammer store or online, who also like board games and/or want the specific minis in this box, and/or want to get their friends into 40k, but can't convince them to buy $200+ of hobby junk outright, so they've got to pull a bait-and-switch on Blood Rage night. The other outlier in this, uh -- space, is the Space Marine video game tie-in board game. Which features the new and currently exclusive Lt. Titus mini, and the repurposed, but still new-ish, Leviathan Termagants. That's available at retail for $40.

[@lankira]

Every time I see someone pull out the color cubes for minis, I get excited. Partly because the creator of them (Sarah Renae Clark) is here on KZbin and does 2D art, often in coloring books. Partly because I know I'm in for a great adventure in color. But, mostly because I'm always interested to see how folks are using the colors they get.

[@SpensPainting]

Love this! The mini looks ace. You could mail out a random card to other creators and challenge them to get involved, and paint a mini using the card

[@thinkabouthelogic]

This would be an amazing comp!

[@IcarusGames]

Love seeing more color cube videos! It's so interesting to see how you use the limited palette given by the card to work through the problems of the model, especially for things like the skintone, which I'd have never thought to have gone with those colors for, but on the finished model it just looks great.

[@BalooSJ]

For those looking for a slightly cheaper (and less space-consuming) option, they also have two "Color Catalog" PDFs. I believe those are basically the same color schemes, only in PDF form instead of as a bunch of physical cards.

There is always the caveat that you should make sure your monitor calibrated, if you're going to take that route.

@@thinkabouthelogic color displays are a tricksy bastard sometimes... They're also self-illuminating. If it's not something that you think about from time to time, it can occasionally lead to issues if you're using it as reference. Think of it less as the obvious consideration, and more as a "don't leave your color wheel where it will be exposed to direct sunlight.". Reference material is only as good as the fidelity it maintains, and it's an easy consideration to miss, if you're not thinking about it.

That process with the colour cubes works great. All too often people try to replicate the standard paint scheme which really inhibits creativity. I thinks it’s a great idea. Would be great to see you tackle a large miniature with the same process.

[@MatchaMakesThings]

Ninjon video? Its a good day.

[@MarkWidner]

I bought the cubes after watching the video. They have pdfs for pretty much every pencil range. I sent them a note that maybe they could make them for acrylic paints like Army Painter, monument and golden so-flatt since that would cover beginners, intermediate and advanced painters. Wonder if I get you the survey like if you could rally the troops. It's such a cool product. We just need a reference file to go with it.

[@GhilliedNinja]

I think what could be fun is have a guest on and you each have to pick each others palettes for a model. Then maybe halfway switch palettes and see if the resulting models you each end up with tie into a cohesive scheme, but in each of your different styles and direction.

[@parallaxgames]

Please do more of these. This is good stuff. You've shown us how to make unexpected combinations work, how to make a limited pallet work for you, that it's ok to make mistakes, and some ways to overcome them.

The random color scheme is great. The video is entertaining. I like how you advertise for the sponsor of the episode - it is unexpected product and first I thought "ouch, that doesn't match", but then I thought - You're doing great job for the community, and not all of the viewers are giving you a chance to monetize your work (me included - subscribed, liked most of the videos, but nothing more), so you should be able to pick up sponsor you like, whenever it matches the video or your viewers like it, and I should just shut up and watch the damn video in full, because I watch it for free thanks to it! So thank you for picking sponsors so I can watch your great videos and be entertained!
