Absolutely amazing paint job! One of the best and cleanest I've seen for this new Cygnar Jacks. Keep up the good work 😉👍🏼

[@TheMiniatureManager]

Thank you. I am so glad to hear you enjoyed the tutorial. I hope to do more Warmachine videos in the future.

[@rainer.1276]

I love the paint job. Cool to see some Warmachine.

[@TheMiniatureManager]

Warmachine tutorials are fun to make. There aren't many people covering the game these days.

[@rainer.1276]

@@TheMiniatureManager Yeah with the new edition and some mistakes on the companies part a fair few content creators have moved on to other things. I still like the game though. 😀

[@TheMiniatureManager]

@@rainer.1276 Yeah, I have heard stories from other creators. I haven't been involved in anything big with warmachine but I like the models and the gameplay. I like doing the occasional tutorial whenever I paint something for the game. My next tutorial for the game will probably be something for the brineblood marauders. I think I might get into that army although not for a while. Gotta save the money first.

Nice work!

[@TheMiniatureManager]

Thank you. I am glad you enjoyed the video.

[@danacoleman4007]

Wow! If I could paint a mini that well in 7 minutes, I would do it a lot more often.

[@TheMiniatureManager]

If I could do model in 7 minutes I would never have an unpainted model on the tabletop again. The video might be that length but the model as a whole took between 5 and 8 hours. It has been a while so I don't recall the exact time of the project.

Nice!!!

[@TheMiniatureManager]

Thank you for watching. I am glad you liked it.

[@james3d686]

@@TheMiniatureManager It was awesome love to see more.

[@TheMiniatureManager]

@@james3d686 I will have to see if I can get ahold of some models for other armies so I can expand my list of tutorials.

[@warpangel8879]

Fantastic work man! Definitely gonna use this. Any chance of an Orgoth tutorial?

[@TheMiniatureManager]

Funny you should ask. I picked up the convention exclusive mini at LVO last weekend. I will have a tutorial on it in a week or two.

[@warpangel8879]

Well that’s awesome to hear man! Congrats, I hope it was fun!

[@MrLanzac]

Could you use this same scheme on the bigger one you did before this? This version seems much quicker tbh

[@TheMiniatureManager]

Yes you certainly can. In fact, the only difference between the two is the color of blue I used and tbh, they are almost identical shades of blue when they are next to each other.

[@MrLanzac]

@@TheMiniatureManager yeah if I’m being honest I have the blues from the smaller one and I was more or less worried there might have been a technical reason why the other way was done on the big one , thanks for the reply mate ^^

[@TheMiniatureManager]

@@MrLanzac Yeah the larger one was done before my P3 Paints arrived. I did my best to mimic them because I wanted to get the project done before more models arrived.

[@MrLanzac]

@@TheMiniatureManager going to pick up my mkiv box as I respond to this comment actually xD

[@TheMiniatureManager]

@@MrLanzac Very exciting! I hope you have a fun time painting them.

Your finished product is great, but one thing that REALLY annoys me with lighting sources, is how people get it wrong. Those coils should be bright as hell and impact everything around them. hehe

[@TheMiniatureManager]

Thank you for watching. I am not super familiar with warmachine's lore but those are supposed to be electric coils right? So if we really wanted to be realistic they shouldn't be glowing at all. How often do you see the coils at an electric station glowing? I chose not to really deal with glowing here and just got the model table ready. I guess in this case the coils became a low priority detail in this project.
