Slapchopping Some Battlemechs | Battletech: A Game of Armored Combat

[@death2all79zx]

12:50 clearly you have never driven a m1 Abrams through the backwoods of Tennessee or Kentucky during a spring training mission.

[@MadhouseMinis]

Do you have an Abrams I could borrow for a few hours?

[@ironmask5308]

*Flashbacks to wearing several pounds of a Ft. Knox obstacle course in the early spring and then cleaning said terra not so firma from EVERYTHING*

[@ripleyriley]

Consulting the Weather Cat is vital to the painting process. I see so many painters leave that step out and you hate to see it.

[@bjscustoms]

Fantastic work man I really like how they can out.

[@uhrich11]

Great vid! The thing about slapchop is that you really get out what you put in...sure, you can spam units out in one color and it looks like ass...or you can really give it a go and make models that often outshine their traditionally painted counterparts when they meet on the field (table) of battle!

[@Fabodroidgaming]

Playing pretty much everything for years, espacially WH, Battletech is what lasts. It is an exceptional game. Classic Battletech is simply awesome, love it so much.

[@flgbanjo]

This is awesome! Love seeing your slapchop onto mechs to give me ideas! I love traditional painting methods but they are so involved, whereas slapchop gets it done and ready for the table.

Awesomes are Awesome!

[@charleso465]

More mech painting, please. Getting ready to paint some of the new Mercenaries set when the new models release. Hopefully soon since my shipping charges are showing up.

[@jasonwiard7307]

Great job! I'd love to see more Battletech

[@MadhouseMinis]

I've definitely got some in the pipeline!

[@Mrred11789]

Very informative video! How are the minis staying on the top of the bottle caps?

[@bradpresley84]

I feel you on the white. I swapped to acrylic ink and never looked back. Way easier to actually get it opaque.

[@pmcanto]

it looks really great!

[@CuAnnuvin]

Very nicely done. Did you also do a video of the grey lance?

[@Locusthorde3000]

>Caste System >Communists Capellans are a meme, but it's all in good fun lmao jokes aside, I find really doing grey, then metallic, then some kind of dark wash over it tends to have a really nice very darkened metal look to it.

Came here from the Reddit post, these 'Mechs are dreamy

[@MadhouseMinis]

Much appreciated!

[@m.f.1130]

The Colors remind me of the Constructicons from the 80s Transformers-Movie. ❤

[@Ajax-wo3gt]

I love battletech! I hate painting miniatures! How long did it take per model to achieve this result? Excluding all the time you left them to dry overnight and stuff.

[@MadhouseMinis]

If you ignore the highlights, and I would for normal slapchop, honestly an hour and a half per model. There's a reason I was able to paint up 4 more before I finished editing the video!

[@Ajax-wo3gt]

@@MadhouseMinis You mean the final round of highlights you did towards the end of the video?

[@MadhouseMinis]

@@Ajax-wo3gt yep! Those took longer and honestly didn't add enough to be super worth it. I actually made a few mistakes and they're much harder to fix with speed paints

[@Ajax-wo3gt]

@@MadhouseMinisCool, thanks. I need a fast method for knocking out my minis and this might be it. Also, I loved your tank kitbash mini. Made want to try the game too.

[@Gauweezy]

What color did you use for the cockpits? It looks so good!

[@BearGirlSummer]

I know you gave us the track ID for Lonely Space Vixens, but do you have a link to it? Maybe I'm just dumb, but I can't find it anywhere

[@BearGirlSummer]

There's something so hypnotic about it, I've rewatched that painting sequence about a dozen times

[@MadhouseMinis]

@@BearGirlSummer I just published it publicly for you! Glad you like it, probably my favorite that I've made. chrisanger.bandcamp.com/track/lonely-space-vixens-demo

[@BearGirlSummer]

@@MadhouseMinis Thank you so much!!

[@seanuh60]

What part was the slap chop? Turned out great.

[@MadhouseMinis]

Mostly the beginning! I'll call it slap chop +

[@ThommBara]

Good video but omg what is that music??? I like lana del rey like any one, but geez.
