'Trust me on this one, there's a 40% chance this is going to work'. Been wondering how I should propose to my girlfriend......

[@pizzalord3n]

Accurate math at work

[@gvsgaius]

Hahaha, no sense in being afraid of that one. If she's into you enough then you should probably be able to know that she'll say "yes" when you ask but you can always casually probe her a bit about it if you're not 100% sure. Any fuckups and imperfections you do when proposing will only add to the romance. I proposed on some wooden dock over a small creak and proceeded to actually drop the f-ing ring onto the dock (which had gaps in between the wood) while trying to put it on her finger. Luckily it didn't drop into the flowing water but even if it would've I'm sure we would've been fine.

[@thesixthhousedagoth9439]

@@gvsgaius just sneak the ring on her finger as she sleeps, and as the years go by, she will come to belive she really did say yes and marry you. Using this proven method, I aquired more than 700 wives. This is true

I dig the humor sprinkled throughout and showing off what didn't work along with what did. Tbh showing failure makes the video even more educated. Great vid.

[@MrNaadi]

"Sometimes quantity is a quality in it's own right." Another great video Jon! I think you are consistently nailing the edutainment angle of your videos these days and it makes them amongst my favorite on the platform. Something I picked up from this is not being afraid to dip into some of the more 'out there' colors for skin tones even if the initial application is terrifying-- I thought the purples, blue, and greens you used on the skin turned out fantastically. I'll try to use this as inspiration to get out of my typical black/brown oil wash rut!

Yeah I've made that mistake with oils. Took ages to get the taste out of my mouth.

as someone who finished painting 120 zombies over the course of a month and a half Im impressed.

[@doc_ds]

Now im new to the channel and returning 40k hobbyist after a 25 year break. Gotta say I love the channel. Just bought my newest DA army and am looking forward seeing how much I improve using your tutorials by the end of the 100+ minatures I just bought.

[@adamchristian4227]

Messing up the metallic colour mixing was hilarious. Been there many times.

[@duwaynesteurer4287]

I can't imagine knocking out 120 (or even 20) models in a day that look that quality. I'd be happy with 5!

[@j82themo]

Dude. Dude. Dude. 1.) This army (unit?!) is outstanding. 2.) I just watched a video of yours from a year ago, and your production skills have improved so much (not that they were bad to start with). You should be super proud of how good your videos are.

[@bitzbox]

Okay I'm throwing that gore mixture over my zombies too. Maybe even over everything. Love it!

[@hawkfishdaniels7199]

I'm surprised that after painting 120 zombies that you didn't turn into a zombie yourself. The metals looked great.

[@chester1882]

I feel like this needed a disclaimer like the “Paint your army in one week” to talk to your spouse first before attempting this.

[@Ninjon]

I mean, if it’s during the work week and I took a day of vacation from work to do it? Maybe, I did miss supper!

[@nowei1930]

Jon, it's been a ton of fun to watch your channel grow, you've got a knack for embracing different methods and it really pays off!

[@lprosperie]

Awesome video. Watching your videos has really opened my eyes to new ways to think about miniature painting and using color. I've gotten more confident with using a limited palette and mixing colors.

[@toportime]

Your zombies look appropriately gory and awesome!

[@cwj138]

I painted up my buddies zombicide black plague set before contrast paints were a thing. So many washes and inks made it look pretty good for very little effort you just need to pick your battles. Took way more than a day though.

[@bad-people6510]

Medieval peasants had more range in clothing color than you might think. Certainly no purple, or dark blues, reds tended to be sort of rusty colored, but other than that it was pretty much all on the table.

[@geekfreak69]

120 incredibly scary zombies. I love the gore effect. Another awesome vid Ninjon

[@badbirb5698]

Sweet. These look so good! I'm planning to use oils for the first time after being inspired by your videos - a batch of Tzeentch Horrors, and I think shades of blues, purples, pinks will work really nice with their tentacles and fleshy tones!

[@Ninjon]

You got this!

[@MentoliptusBanko]

Congratulations Jon! I am now even more convinced that I'll never paint 120 models together :P

[@DaronSchmit]

This was great! I might try some of these paint techniques for my next batch of Nids

[@ondarkendwings]

Cool video ! I've started using contrast paints & oils washes to get quick paint jobs. I've definitely embraced using oils lately. I like that you've chosen a variety of colours for batch painting to give them personality. I also appreciate that you don't stick to the 'two thin coats' mindset & embrace different techniques.

[@mikegeary8056]

Paintings acrylic on top of oil base (spray paint) will make the acrylic separate and fall off over time. Acrylic can’t pond to oil based paint. You can paint oil based on top of acrylic but not the other way around. Use water based primer if your gonna use oils.
