Painting Knights on Foot - Old World or Otherwise! [How I Paint Things]

[@basicminiaturepainting]

Just ordered a bunch of these,from Etsy I'll be watching this several times keep up the great work mate

[@Sonof_DRN2004]

I’ve been getting Perry miniature agincourt foot knights that I’m going to use for bretonians until new models are released.

[@Bodom1after1midnight]

Very nicely done. I think i just found my guide to painting my future Bretonnian army. Thanks!

[@emmetriley22]

Knights are cool, but I'm more interested in the men at arms and peasant militia. There's something about them that screams conversion potential

[@tigersympathiser2265]

I love your more grounded version, reminds me of the SFO Foot Knights Errant in Total War II. The Bascinet and the simple but effective lowering of details, GW could learn a thing or two and try and avoid leaning into AOS styling.

[@alessiodecarolis]

Quite impressive mini, I remember painting a LOT of old Citadel's knights, also if ,generally, the shield was always painted apart. A quartered painting scheme would be interesting, and the early Citadel's decals were a (literally!) a life saving thing when painting medieval eraldry.

[@fakestreetspirit]

I really love your videos - very calm and clear. This was a super helpful tutorial - for my leather (gloves, pouches, boots, etc.) I like to highlight with Doombull brown. It gives a nice warm contrast to all of the armour.

[@Strawfoot]

Always happy to see another video. I feel like your painting, it’s always been good, but wow it’s getting really good lately. Everything looks so neat and sharp and all the colors are so vibrant. Very inspiring work!

I think the thing that I have enjoyed most about watching your painting videos, and I've pretty much watched you from day 1, is seeing your talent and abilities grow over the years. This is meant as a compliment so please take it that way; In my opinion you are right up there with the likes of Sorastro, Ninjon, Miniac, Sam Lenz, just to name a few. It's been an awesome treat watching your climb to that level of miniature painters here on youtube. 🍻 to many more years of "Very special videos". 👍.

[@RobbieB2606]

Nice mini and super clean paint job. Always loved medieval knights since I was a wee lad!

[@matteocinti6482]

Looks amazing, very hard to find a proper army painting level painting guide with only brush and paints. Thanks !

[@alexanderkellar3841]

I got a box of Foot Knights from Wargames Atlantic and some Archers from Perry Minitures. I love your Channel. Thx man! I will watch "A Knights Tale" & "Kingdom of Heaven" while painting them :D

[@johnkelley9877]

Great looking color scheme! The model simply looks fantastic. Thanks for sharing this.

[@Ernzt8]

Great model and color scheme! Thanks for the tutorial

[@huwtindall7096]

Awesome! Tip I picked up with washing when you don't want it that shaded is to simply use your finger to gently wipe off the shade after it's been applied. Given your finger is relatively big compared to to the mini you essentially just take off the shade from the flat and pointy areas leaving it just in the cracks or deeper recesses where you want it. Massive time saver as you dont have to go back over and bring tje colours back up.

[@kevak1236]

I tried painting Ancient gallic shield designs by hand ONCE. After one attempt, I gave up and bought shields and decals 😂😂😂

[@StygianBeach]

The Highland mini looks great! I think I prefer it to the new GW Foot Knights, even though the new foot knights are quite beautiful. I prefer the simple big details and heroic weapon scaling of the original release.

[@WillReynolds88]

I agree! They look better to me as well

[@UKscalemodeller]

Beautiful but doesn't cover the most difficult part.......deciding on the colour scheme to use 😂 My Bolt action Germans are a copy of yours as will be my brettonians. P.S is this the 28 or 32 mm option as I will have to buy them printed (i have no pronter) or if its not too much to ask, what did you resize them to? If I want it to match my GW Brettonians (when they arrive) Cheers

[@ARed-TailedHawk]

Beautiful mini and great tutorial. Thanks and Happy New Year!

[@loupiscanis9449]

A Very special Thank you , Troy . 🐺Loupis Canis .

[@alejandromosqueira7370]

What an amazing model and paintjob! Highland miniatures always produce quality minis and you paint them to such an amazing standard. Question for you sir, I want to do a green and yellow pattern, which paints would you go for those? Keep up with the amazing videos and tutorials!

[@h347h]

That 3D print looks amazing. Great paint job on it as well! I don't know if I am sold on GWs new army wide black and red scheme because of how good the old heraldry looked but I think it isn't bad by a long shot.

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

Yeah, personally I'd still be doing individuals as much as possible for knights. For the peasants and such a uniform works, but I always loved the visual chaos of a Bretonnian army.

[@allanburt5250]

Nice work

[@nickdavis5420]

Very nice I’m thinking of getting a bunch of victrix Normans

[@VicodinElmo]

One advantage of painting Old World is probably the separation of shield and torso on the sprues. I’m a big advocate for full assembly painting but, I must admit, I’m kind of a wimp when it comes to shields and do those sub-assembly. Especially since I just got the TK box set…

[@metajock]

Another good one, thanks!!!

[@thanasisgeronimos9124]

Excellent...quite easy and effective

[@SPARTANTROOPER]

Always love watching you paint, you just make it look so easy. I still have an absolute nightmare getting the consistency right when thinning paint, it's why I mostly stick with contrast paints.

[@matteotani1360]

Youre the best!!! Cant wait to see other bretonnian stuff!❤

[@nathanclegg6717]

Exactly the tutorial I was after! Nice one for this. Any more Bretonnians? Cheers

[@cromwellthesynth]

I love the paint scheme here Really gives me the vibes of the Mason Order from the Chivalry games! :P

[@zep5229]

Love your painting tutorials - keep it up ❤

[@JohnnyH5]

Great video, thank you for sharing it with us. Just wondering what scale the miniature is and how does it stand up with TOW miniatures?

[@MrGunnar177]

These look so much better than the new ones

[@WillReynolds88]

This looks great! I’ll use a lot of these tips but will probably swap the red for yellow 😊

[@timothyyoung2962]

Playing some Inheritor Courts for The Doomed. Great color scheme for some post-apocalyptic grimdark sci-fi knights.

[@davidknight2220]

Brilliant really helpful and informative also I really enjoyed listening to you talking to Henry Hyde on his podcast

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

That was a lot of fun. Henry's a wonderful MC!

[@JZStudios2]

Wonderful work, and woo Highland Miniatures for the Win! I love their work they do truly make some incredible minis out of everyone that I've seen-and have supported them for years now. One question though as I was reading their recent posts about square bases, if they should go up to 25mm for infantry instead of 20mm. And they very much reassured everyone they would be able to rescale to 28mm without a problem, making me realize I have been printing their stuff at 32mm this whole time. So the question is, do you rescale minis down to 28m or just leave them as they are?

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

According to a post on the Old World Facebook group a little while back, 25mm will be the minimum base size in that system. As for rescaling prints, I very rarely bother; this was printed at the native sculpt size.

[@nickjones2470]

Im in the process of creating an Easy8 for what a tanker.Should I paint the crew like US infantry ?

[@assassinrages2288]

Hey love the knight, what size is the model compared to gw models im looking at getting a few and not sure if they will look right with the gw models

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

They're natively 32mm, but as 3D prints they can easily be resized.

[@assassinrages2288]

@@SonicSledgehammerStudio do they match well with the gw models or are they bigger

[@teamkeogh]

Hi Troy. Quick question. Do the 3d printed knights of Galia come in sub assembly? I was looking at them last night on myminifactory and thought they would be an amazing project to build. I’ve decaled some great shields already and they’re looking for a home. Also, I’ve pretty much finished my Afrika Korps force that was inspired by your ‘Painting Afrika Korps’ from last year. Thanks as always me 😊

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

They've got separate heads, but there's ten bodies (with a separate command and banner guy), so there's quite a bit of variation in what you can do with them but they aren't multi-part kits, strictly speaking.

[@MedievalWargamer]

beautiful work! Subscribed.

[@angrypantz87]

Whenever I see the Bretonnians I always want to paint them as Pandion knights.

[@ohsohologramic]

May I ask: Do the highland miniatures come assembled, or are they in a large number of parts?

[@ohsohologramic]

ALso, do you know if they come supplied with the TOW-size bases? For example, if I buy highlight miniatures goblins, will they come with the original smaller bases, or the appropriate TOW bases?

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

The miniatures come as 2-3 pieces at most, with heads and shields separate. As for the bases, they've been going for much longer than before TOW was even announced, but they're 3D prints so feasibly they're any size. It's probably worth checking out their sites directly.

[@callidus11]

Is this the 28mm or 32mm scale?

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

They're natively 32mm, but as 3D prints they can easily be resized.

[@Adi031978]

"See in person"? Did someone just invite all his KZbin viewers to come over for a nice clesr view and (hopefully) some beer and sausages? 😅 Party at Mr. & Mrs. Sledge😂😂

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

Ha! Well, if anybody could make it... If there's a bright center of the universe, I live in the tiny German village that it's farthest from.

[@Castillo525]

Thinking of doing a video on bretonnia anytime soon?

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

Probably not? The purpose in doing this one was to demonstrate essentially the same techniques on a slightly different miniature; those Bretonnian boxes are not going cheap.

[@Castillo525]

@@SonicSledgehammerStudio shame, would have loved your take on individual knights ;)

[@LittleLances]

Have a whole unit of these. Far superior to the GW foot knights
