Looking great! It’s always good to see other techniques to help expand the repertoire.

Good stuff Alex! 👍

[@StormofSteelWargaming]

Cheers!

Really enjoyed video, will try the tip with the tan yellow. When I base figures I colour the filler with brown. If it chips later you don't have a bright white showing.

[@StormofSteelWargaming]

Cheers, colouring the filler is a certainly a good idea, and saves time, but I've never had an issue with it chipping tbh. So whatever works for you.

Good looking regiment. Nice work. Adam

Thank you! Cheers!

[@philRminiatures]

Excellent paint job, inspired highlights...

[@StormofSteelWargaming]

Cheers Phil, very much appreciated!

[@nigelcurtis1630]

Nice work! I’m interested that you highlight after the wash - I like to do it the other way round. I’m definitely going to try your undercoat method for the flesh advantage!

[@StormofSteelWargaming]

Cheers Nigel, I find the wash can blur colours considerably, so for bright cloth like the reds and blues of Napoleonic I want them to pop a bit. On WW2 figures I generally don't even bother with any highlights apart from flesh. I use any tools that help me get figures painted quickly. I hope it works for you!

[@wargamesgeek1334]

Really nice, my eyes hurt when painting anything smaller than 28mm. These turned out great 👍

[@StormofSteelWargaming]

Cheers! 15mm is more about the spectacle than the detail. I live by the 3ft rule!

[@worldhistoryminiatureshous9757]

I enjoy these tutorial . The figurine is well painted . Well done .

[@StormofSteelWargaming]

Cheers buddy there are more coming in the future!

[@worldhistoryminiatureshous9757]

@@StormofSteelWargaming Will see that with pleasure !

[@mudyinsquall]

Look fantastic, going to dip into ECW with 15mm!

[@StormofSteelWargaming]

Cheers Andrew! ECW is something I've never played, but good luck!

Great work👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Thank you!

Good to see you're back to making videos after all the wild debauchery as you celebrated your Caesar win. And now my big question - why 31 figs and not 32?

[@StormofSteelWargaming]

It took a few days to recover, that's for sure! Only because that's all I had, I actually got a bonus figure in the pack which was supposed to be 30...

[@nickjennings8757]

Nice work. You’re like a bloody machine! I’ve just finished off some AB French Cuirassiers. Took me a over week to do 16!😂😂

[@StormofSteelWargaming]

Cheers Nick, horse always take a lot longer to paint than infantry. I'm not looking forward to painting some if I'm honest...

[@nickjennings8757]

I hate painting cavalry. But lockdown and WFH for 12 months has allowed me to paint huge numbers for my Napoleonics. Same rule as you for horses, block paint and various washes and horse bridles all black with metal detail and it’s a done job. Strangely it black or white horses that cause me the biggest headaches. 😬😬

[@StormofSteelWargaming]

Yeah, I've never really enjoyed painting horses myself. The quicker I can get them done the better IMO!

[@maryhinge6334]

Great tutorial. Very helpful. 👍

[@StormofSteelWargaming]

Thank you!!

[@lewisjohnson4207]

Thank you so much for this just had a go and they came out fantastic, maybe rifles next?

[@StormofSteelWargaming]

Thank you! I am glad they worked well for you. I am actually working on a Rifles video at the moment, so keep your eyes peeled for it's release (probably sometime in the new year).

[@greendevil9370]

Great video. I've taken a lot from it 👍

[@StormofSteelWargaming]

Cheers Stuart, glad you enjoyed the video and got some tips!

[@Kubelguy13]

Nice painting.What brushes and sizes are you painting with?

[@StormofSteelWargaming]

Thank you, it's a mix but they are usually between 3/0 and 0 in size. Not sure of the manufacturer though.

[@abidingdude13]

May I ask if those movement trays are custom made? I've been interested in doing Sharp Practice in 15mm, but the thought of multi-basing the miniatures has always deterred me.

[@StormofSteelWargaming]

They are from Warbases and I asked for them to be custom made, but they do a huge range of movement trays anyway.

[@bonysminiatures3123]

Is their any differences painting metals opposed to plastics , nice tutorial ))

[@StormofSteelWargaming]

Thank you, not really, as long as you prime them before you start, there's little difference

[@nirnman]

very nice sir but why 31 and not 32 figures?

[@StormofSteelWargaming]

Thanks, because the pack had 31 figures in it. No other reason.

[@TheEccentricMan]

I am very disappointed that the video is 4 minutes shorter than 15 minutes. Nice work. 😄

[@StormofSteelWargaming]

Thank you, and you are correct, I will ensure that the next 15mm painting video clocks in at 15 mins...

[@ugosabadini8014]

Molto bravo e grazie per il tutorial su youtube sono pochi i video per i 15mm (io dipingo solo 15mm)

[@StormofSteelWargaming]

Prego!

[@moomoogaming4786]

bro where do you buy 15mm?

[@StormofSteelWargaming]

As I said in the video these are from Blue Moon.
