Paint Simple and Fast Monsters with Amazing Results

[@Astelan11]

Very glad this one showed different techniques. Half expected it to be base coat contrast n done. Love the textures.

[@OmegaLittleBob]

This is nice. There's so many wacky monster models, its nice to have a tutorial that illustrates concepts that can be applied to many different things.

[@jakemcloughlin5131]

I’m so going to use this on the tyranids in the leviathan box. It’s be so different but it looks so easy!

[@reubenmccallum3350]

Thank you for helping me solve my internal debate on how to paint my Seraphon!

[@thepaintingphase]

Haha! You’re most welcome

[@mo_dakka]

Love that you explain why each step is important. Great teaching, Peach.

[@thepaintingphase]

😍🙏😍

[@hickdead6188]

This is hugely helpful. I've printed my first ever minis (Alien Hive) and this has given me a lot to think about and new things to try when painting them up, thank you 🥳

[@jackcopestake9948]

Love this !! Roarsome job 🥁

[@Brun-ost-y1t]

Thank you ❤

[@Itsallover57]

Every once in a while a video reminds me of why Bob Ross figured he could teach people to paint in 30 minute videos

[@williamowens5144]

Always happy to see a non-GW vid from one of the mini painting channels and that is a fantastic paint scheme for that dino. I'm totally stealing that.

[@itsalwaysfunnyinphiladelph8885]

Thanks big man i've got a couple of dread saurians to paint so this will come in useful.

[@robert2pkt0]

That is beautiful, amazing techniques, plenty alternatives shown (brush vs. sponge), super accessible. Your best painting tutorial, Peachy, you can be so proud!

[@thepaintingphase]

Ha! Well thank you kindly, I’m glad it worked out okay.

[@Nigelius]

“Scale down” not even a minute in a Peachy is cracking out the unintended puns!

[@namefinder]

I love painting monsters, they 'hide' small mistakes as they don't look like a human :)

[@MagnumN117]

Great video! So many fun techniques to try on a large vibrant model!

[@Kaiyanwang82]

This one is EXCELLENT and usable on sci-fi beasts too.

[@thepaintingphase]

Oh cool! Yeah it’ll work any monster mini regardless of genre

[@jezter6505]

Very nice, prob gonna use this on my Seraphon

[@rdrx8621]

Awesome! Im gonna use some of these techniques to paint my new leviathan box tyranids.

[@vaderkoshpaints]

Outstanding! Love the Mantis Warriors Green, one of my favorite paint colors.

[@thepaintingphase]

Agreed, sometimes I’m a striking scorpion guy, others a Mantis Warriors green guy, both equally lovely

[@williamstrange6885]

Genuinely one of my favourite paint jobs I've ever seen you do peachy, love it.

[@thepaintingphase]

Aww cheers William 👍 all I can see are the mistakes lol 🤦‍♂️😂

[@williamstrange6885]

@@thepaintingphase I feel the same about my painting. It's the emotional tax for the creative process. Don't let that imposter syndrome win.

[@kanjow]

I was just looking for some ideas for painting claws and teeth yesterday. I love how you did it and going to try it out! Great job!

[@wardaddyminiatures]

Those colours worked really well together on the Dino. Love those orange tones

[@funky_features51]

Love the varied content you upload ! Between tutorials, links to the streams and podcast episodes so much content !

[@thepaintingphase]

That’s pleasing to hear, cheers. I’m sometimes worried it’s too varied

[@edwardpoppy]

Awesome choice of colours peachy!

[@thepaintingphase]

Thank you kindly Edward 😍👍

[@Matt-md5yt]

Sweet topic today

[@Mikeeldiablos]

I plan to try these techniques on my Vandus Hammerhand model; I think the dracoth will be quite a lot of fun to paint.

[@thepaintingphase]

Ooh nice idea! Using these techniques on stormcast will look mega

[@raspijedi]

Very helpful, inspires me to paint my squiggoth that has been sitting, primed, for a year 😁

[@geteavnroc2250]

Super nice! I think i'm actually going to use this on these new Nids!

[@billthemarine4435]

Great tutorial! Will be adding some of these techniques to the Seraphon army I am painting.

[@WiganPaddy]

That paint job is mint and that model is awesome

[@Jeff-ne1lh]

I love content like this much better than interviews

[@Brickfrog427]

Hey, I'd just like to pop in and share that after testing a few different paints, I find the best alternative to Citadel Wraithbone for basecoating is Army Painter Skeleton Bone. Skeleton Bone is a teeny bit darker and warmer, but both Vallejo Model Color Ivory and AK Interactive Ivory are a teeny bit brighter and colder and just seem to basecoat quite worse, taking several thinned coats to get solid coverage. Army Painter sometimes has problems with their warpaints, but adding a mixing ball and shaking around fixes it.

[@jurriaandejongh8677]

Awesome showcase of different techniques! And ofc, love me some DINO!

[@LincolnTank-StillOnTheSprue]

Peachy has found a use for his hairdryer at last.....oooooooft!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@thepaintingphase]

😂😂😂…….🧑‍🦲……😭😭😭

[@JohnnyTightIips]

When you 'scale' it down, while painting a dinosaur. Nice :)

[@maritheganger1237]

Ayyyy! Drago's stuff is amazing! Great choice!

[@thepaintingphase]

Can’t wait to get some dragons…..they look mint

Yet another phenomenally useful video. I’ve been dithering over the raptor riders from Conquest and I think I’ve got a plan for them now!

[@thepaintingphase]

Sweeeeet! I hope the techniques etc help

[@nilskortmann1701]

Now i finally feel ready to paint my mawkrusha.

[@melsminiloft]

I love the sponge technique! It gives a really cool look very fast.

[@eagleclaw899]

I’ve recently used bright greens and oranges on some Terradon models, it’s a good combo

[@bobby6204]

That orange pops! Inspired 👌👏

[@danlynch3885]

Great video, love how clearly each step added a noticeable visual improvement for tabletop+ quality. Suggestion - could you do something similar-ish, but on how to paint large vehicle/mechanical plates? e.g. sponging/texturing/etc in order for it to not just being boring flat colour?

[@thepaintingphase]

Check out the Votann, vehicle video, that may have what you need.

[@curtcleancut]

Looks amazing. Definitely some take home techniques to use here. Keep up the great work!

[@i_meanas_hael]

Gorgeous work there Peachy, wondering if i could use these techniques on my 10mm Dark elf / Lizardmen Cold one riders would be stunning and very bold

[@terrain_n_nids1973]

Really enjoyed this one, can't wait for the next 1

[@garyknight3018]

Great video, love the Mehdi you have shared.

[@GhostGuitars]

Brilliant video, Peachy. Breaks down what looks unachievable (for a noob) into easily understandably steps. Was worried when you applied the orange after the green looked so good but its a banging job. I have a lot of dinos and lizardmen to paint

[@miwicpmiwicp8074]

Great video, great paint job and great mini.

[@ihansolomychewie8137]

Great content guys. Loving it all. Keep up the good work.

[@michaelpipe5488]

Peachy, this is fantastic! More like this please!!! ❤

[@markmcdowell2733]

Great vid. Lots of tips and tricks.

[@LukeGeaney]

"ghost strokes" is a great term!

[@goforitpainting]

Looks cool.

[@prdalien0]

Awesome dinosaur

[@whofreakincares1000]

This was a treat! I’ve been saving this one. There really isn’t enough scaly beasties to paint in the world. Really love how you brought the scale patterns to life. You thinking about fun and different designs on say tyranid carapaces?

[@darkzentai7417]

Thank you very much do you mind if I borrow this technique to start a lizard man army of my own?

[@thepaintingphase]

That’s what it’s the for. We’d be honoured.

[@MijMike]

excellent tutorial mate. What's the chances of you sticking a list of the paints in the video description for the colours you're using?

[@julianabson7870]

Beautiful.Great step by step walk through. I'm inspired to give it a go. What colours compliment this for the rider? I'm thinking red or purple?

[@thepaintingphase]

Yeah both of those colours sound like they should work, and thanks for the comment too 😍👍

[@okillcrazyo1009]

AMAZING!!❤

[@edwindrood2816]

Super useful!

[@flugelmeister74]

Another awesome video. Any chance of covering Slaanesh stuff? I found it quite difficult to paint them after previously painting the bright reds of the Blood Angels. Going from bold to subtle colours was not easy.

[@thepaintingphase]

As a HUGE fan of Slaanesh, it would be silly of me not to do something in that vein

[@doc_eyebrow]

Great video and great effects. Sorry to bring this up again but got to ask about the clarity of the paint colour box at the top left. White text on ivory background is really difficult to read, and a black background for white? Would it be possible to have black text for the pale/white paints? Other than that, great video

[@thepaintingphase]

Zero need to apologise, We will look into amending that

[@hungrymatador213]

That looks so bloody amazing and unique that I'm going to intrust you with my new Seraphon army... Uh ... hmm...where is the address for me to ship all these gray lizards?

[@thepaintingphase]

Hahaha!

[@jmc7034]

Ooooo do love that look❤️❤️❤️

[@naumove2000]

Thx for the tutorial, but what would you suggest for painting white monster skin without transition to other colour?(Tyranids default scheme)

[@brandon40k]

Peachy is just getting some practice in before he does an entire army of Lizardmen for Old World.

[@ihansolomychewie8137]

A quick question how do you tell yourselves when to stop painting a unit as apposed to a captin.

[@jojomolehj6016]

Are the ghost strokes before or after the rimming?

[@thepaintingphase]

Depends on your technique.

[@RequiemWraith]

Well that's pretty darned amazing. Is any old sponge fine for this approach, or is there a particular type that's best suited?

[@thepaintingphase]

Honestly I haven’t tried other sponge other than the stuff that comes in figure cases, but it’ll be worth giving it a go, you might get some interesting varieties in texture

[@RequiemWraith]

@@thepaintingphase I'm saving and washing the next kitchen sponge that wears out then 😅

[@mmmmbrains76]

When shading the horns/teeth, do you let the shades dry in between or go for a wet blend approach?

[@thepaintingphase]

I let them dry, but there’s no reason to not try a wet bland approach 😍👍

[@GlynArmitage]

cool model what are your plans for the rider? or is that a later video?

[@thepaintingphase]

I was but we didn’t have enough time to squeeze it in, so I quickly based the rider out for the 360, maybe do something in a mother vid down the line

[@perkz505]

Looks great! Was the tongue magus purple or valupus pink?

[@thepaintingphase]

Magos 👍

[@oleww50]

THE PEACH! :)

[@sweatilaa5325]

At first bigger model can seem like really big and scary projects, it's so much to paint and what if I mess up this and that and so on. But when I painted my first 50mm model I realized that it was so much easier. The bigger model gives more room for you to maneuver your brush, more room for making all the various details, more room to make edge highlights and such, more room from blending. I just find it easier to paint bigger models since the tiny details are bigger... My highlights can be bigger but still look normal because the model is bigger, no faffing around painting tiny unnecessary unseeable crap. Nice color transitions is manageable even for novices. I honestly recommend everyone to give a 50mm or 75mm model a go. I learnt a lot from painting them and could practice things I couldn't on the tiny 28mm-32mm models. Find a big model you like and give it a go, though preferably not one from GW since it will cost you a kidney or two :)

[@Bladeofperdition]

Peachy you look shattered, hope you're ok dude!
