I have to reply to this so it'll vanish from my "comments I haven't responded to" list. Why does KZbin include the your channel's own comments on this list? Who even knows.

[@enoch13th85]

Do all the newer army have lesbians? It's kinda off putting tbh.

[@asmodai6759]

Quick tip for GW push fit models. Trim a bit of the "post" off of each connection to make it slightly more narrow when it fits into the socket. This allows the parts to still fit together perfectly but also allows room for glue.

[@MidwinterMinis]

A very good idea! I'll probably do this in the future... if I'm not too lazy ;)

[@marshallsmith501]

argee

[@voxkine9385]

“They are push-fit models...” Ah, you mean they are “cut down a big needless chunk of plastic so I can actually assemble the model” models...

Just bought a cultist warband box and was looking for a easy and straight forward tutorial to paint'em... MWM 4years before already deliverd. Thank you Guy.

Have burned through almost every video from all of my favorite KZbin painters and have been looking for a new channel. I have found it.

[@MidwinterMinis]

Woo! You've got 60 new videos to explore :)

[@ScreamingTc]

I think you're guides are some of the most refreshing on how to get colours to work and how to get decently coloured minis on the board. I wish I knew you guys existed before I sunk a crap ton into paints.

[@MidwinterMinis]

Aw, thanks Matt! Well, hopefully we'll save you from some unnecessary purchases in the future, haha

[@TheMrFishnDucks]

These are amazing. I love how the hair and flame turned out. Looking forward to the next video. Keep up the good work.

I assembled these in bed, in the dark, very fragile but i didn't break anything, but holy shit they're delicate. Great upload

[@richjohn2497]

Just in bed in the dark!? My bed was on fire and i was blindfolded!! ;)

[@MidwinterMinis]

I get told off for assembling models in bed. It's worse than crumbs, apparently.

[@calebbilling4984]

"We were able to pick up (Dark Uprising)." Lucky sods. That GW's legendary pricing returned, in it's full, terrifying splendour, just in time for a much anticipated boxset made me laugh way more than it should, considering we all saw it coming. It's just, I don't anybody expected the box to be quite so much- it's like Gw's trying to make up for their last few boxes costing what they did.

[@MidwinterMinis]

I sort of thought that when I saw the price for the box set, but when I unpacked it, I realised what a downright HUGE amount of stuff there is in there. I also bought from a FLGS, so got a slightly better price than RRP, which helps :)

[@Fagerlund_]

Exactly, you need to keep in mind that Dark Uprising is huge. I have it sitting on top of my Blood of the Phoenix box that I haven't had time to open yet. The Dark Uprising box is exactly twice the size.

[@shaneflickinger]

Thanks for the video. The price tag on that new Necromunda box is no joke, so thanks Patrons! Actually pretty interested to see what you do with the enforcers in that set. Cheers Guy (and Penny)!

[@MidwinterMinis]

As it often happens to me with your videos, at first I'm highly skeptical ("this isn't going to work...") and by the end I'm amazed by how good the paintjob looks. I love the dark/bronze flesh tone of your cultists!

[@MidwinterMinis]

Tell me about it! I'm highly skeptical through the whole thing, and then in the final shots I think "oh, wait, this actually looks okay!" ;)

Very nice work I picked up Dark uprising as well that is one massive box

[@KelRiever]

Another good one. I can't bring myself to speed paint like this...I mean I can, but I have a problem. I put too much work into each of my models and don't get stuff done! Your channel is perfect for this...paint...get stuff done...play. I think your blue hair looks boss on these plus the licks of green spooky or chemically flame is a great standout choice as well. For speed painting, this is the place to be :)

Just watched this video and was very happy to watch it again. Thanks for the tip on skin tone, I will be using it for now on for "Chaos" infected models. I also tried the one base tone with different additional colours and was very happy with the result. I can say that I will now paint all my figures in this manner. Thank you very much, and hope you and Penny are safe. Look forward to hearing from you soon.

Absolutely perfect as always mate! This may seem like a strange way to go, but I'm going to use this tutorial for my Drukhari kill team, namely my Haemonculi Coven stuff! Aside from using a paler skin tone for the typical Drukhari look more or less (ideas on what to use in order to tie that into the technique?), I'm gonna follow it exactly. I think the Wracks and Grotesques and Incubi and Mandrakes I'm working on are going to look incredible using this method! Thank you so much as always!

[@echoechoecho7142]

Awesome as always, my favorite youtube channel! How did you you like the new brushes? Do you think maybe you might do a video on eyes/faces? Keying in on them and doing a bit more close up on doing various faces / colors / washes and the thoughts and theories behind those choices at some point.. it's such a weakness of mine... ( though I am just starting out), it's the most intimidating part for me. I've watched other vids but the presenters just go on and on and end up making little sense 30 minutes later lol. You have a gift for teaching yet keeping it clear and simple. Always looking forward to more from you and Penny. =)

[@MidwinterMinis]

Thank you! First off, I thought the brushes were pretty good, but then again nearly all brushes are good at the start, it's how they handle being used over and over again that matters. I'll probably be able to let you know better in the future! Also, I might do an episode of easy faces, good idea :)

[@kajkun1384]

How do you keep the paint from drying? With the amount of water you used and they are vallejo paint the should thicken by the time you finished the last model with 1 color?

[@MidwinterMinis]

This is going to sound silly for a speed paint video, but... paint faster! :) Each colour stage usually takes me about 10/15 minutes when I'm batch painting like this. Go fast, don't worry about paint drying on the palette :)

[@Julian-qj6gr]

Guess I have to buy them now!

[@MidwinterMinis]

I should start getting some sort of commission, eh? ;)

[@Julian-qj6gr]

Midwinter Minis Would be interesting to know how many people you introduced to the hobby.

[@HyperionHelstrand]

When you're basecoating, do you have any tips for keeping the colours for different areas apart? I was doing some DA veterans, and kept having the bone and green touching one another, and making the edges look incredibly messy. Tried to fix it after, but ended up making it look worse.

[@MidwinterMinis]

Try lining them with some brown wash! Use a detail brush and just line the borders between the colours, should make them both pop a bit too :)

[@Walican132]

I notice when you mix paint in the pallet shots you didn’t always use the brush you were painting g with (especially during the layer stage) any reason for that? I started assembling my first real models today, hopefully by New Years I’ll have 900 pts of necrons ready to go!

[@MidwinterMinis]

Well spotted! Yeah, I tend not to mix paint with smaller brushes because it's easier to get the paint in the ferrule - the metal bit that holds the bristles in place. When paint dries up there, it starts to change the shape of the brush and bristles start firing off at random angles.

[@os7272]

Did you assemble all Blackstone Models completely before painting? Or does it make sense to keep some parts detached for painting?

[@MidwinterMinis]

I did, for better or worse. I thought that most of the viewers would have probably done the same, so didn't want to force people to do things in sub-assemblies.

[@MagnusMoerkoereJohannesen]

That's a great look for the cultists, and a pretty fun approach to mixing the colours. I'm a bit irked by the flame/hair-less models, in that they don't really have a big, sexy bit to add a contrasting colour to. What would you think was a good bit to splash with some colour?

[@MidwinterMinis]

You could maybe make the casings of their weapons a solid accent colour to give them a bit more spice? Or, if you're feeling adventurous, freehand a little squad logo on their battleskirts? ;)

[@MagnusMoerkoereJohannesen]

Haha, the weapons casings were my first thought, "Hmmm, maybe some hazard stripes..." - but that's my solution to everything: paint hazard stripes! :D Maybe I need to challenge myself, and try painting them... a solid colour :)

[@owenlayne3126]

New to painting minis When you paint on stuff like the skin during the base coats is it all just one coat of the color or are you letting it dry then putting more of that color on?

[@MidwinterMinis]

It's mostly one coat, unless I really feel the need to add a little more. The good thing about adding a wash is that it balances out the tone, and then you also add highlights, so it doesn't need to be a perfect 100% coverage, even basecoat :)

[@MaZEEZaM]

Did you thin the push-fit pegs with a file before assembly, or, chopped the pegs off entirely? I find that this makes assembly a whole lot easier. That method of mixing all the paints together gives a great effect.

Is it possible to completely strip a model of its paint if you want to make a huge change of color scheme?

[@1crlski]

It depends on the paint and how thick you have it on, I'm in the US so I soak the minis I want to strip overnight in alcohol to get the east stuff with a stiff tooth brush then I let them soak in simple green for a few days to get the rest with the stiff brush, then the last step is under a magnifying lens (old eyes ...lol) I use a fine point xacto blade to get the paint in the crevices....this works for me with GW, Vallejo and Reaper paints

[@MidwinterMinis]

Delicious

Slightly random comment... I feel like Bethesda should look at models like these for inspiration for Fallout. Granted they likely won't make another decent one. So it'd be pointless, but there's some interesting designs here. Futuristic but Tribal.

[@MidwinterMinis]

Maybe we should hope that Obsidian look at models like these, eh? ;) All the best Fallout games were Obsidian... controversial statement!

[@Myserieden]

Not necessarily obsidian but def the crew working for them. Lol

I think you would benefit a lot by adding a wet palette to your set of tools. It's perfect for the kind of colour mixing you're doing in this video and it lets you save any previous mixes in case you need to fix mistakes. And it's also dirt cheap and easy to make yourself. :) Really nice paint job however! Really goes to show how far you can get with relatively few colours!

[@MidwinterMinis]

Yup, I absolutely would, but I've used one in the past and - because of my colourblindness - it made me make a LOT of mistakes. Unless I remember exactly what colour is where, it's pretty pointless. Pinks and greys, greens and reds, they all get mixed up.

[@Fagerlund_]

@@MidwinterMinis Ooh, yeah in that case I can imagine it being a real mess! Perhaps adding a grid to the parchment paper could help with what colours are where and seeing if they float into each other and such? I don't mean to harp, but it's such a good tool and it sucks that you'd miss out. :)

Hello everyone! I'm newish and Guy makes these guys look wicked cool! Does anyone know how kill team friendly these guys are? I only play orks and I'm looking to expand and I'm unbelievably excited about these guys.

Guy: Owns a large enough Warhammer collection to showcase on youtube Also Guy: Doesn't want you to think he shelled out a couple of extra dollars for fancy brushes

[@bleeatch]

How do you go back and fix up areas you've over painted when you are remixing you paint every time?

[@MidwinterMinis]

... with difficulty! Haha. No, the real answer is you sort of don't have to, because the touch-ups you do after the wash stage usually hide mistakes :)

[@Starburst7641]

Two words: wet palette
