Speed painting Blackstone Fortress: Gotfret de Montbard

[@GDaddyChina]

I have informed the Inquisitors of your "green purity seals" heresy!

[@darrenchantler2562]

The blue tint armour made me think of the original Robocop...love the videos by the way

[@MidwinterMinis]

Oh man, YES! It's totally the Robocop colour! :)

[@jonharper8963]

And now I have the theme tune in my head and I know it’ll play every time any one chooses this character from now on 😂

[@SinglemSolis]

@@MidwinterMinis I also thought about Robocop, lacks only a bit of purple right?

[@adamryder8377]

@@MidwinterMinis The level of painting you achieved at 13mins 20s would take me 13 days 20 hours. I am really looking forward to painting this mini, and I am going for the Robocop colour scheme.

[@thommothommo1520]

I will never be able to hear "Dangley" in the same way again. Those muted browns and gold on the figure look brilliant.

[@MidwinterMinis]

Thank you! Yeah, it's a really subtle colour combo but it works quite nicely :)

[@KelRiever]

Another fun one, well done! I believe Games Workshop has been inspired by your videos as they now have 'battle ready' tutorials for their blackstone fortress models in the 'classic method' (base coat and wash, done). Or they might have gotten jealous, can't tell. ;)

[@MidwinterMinis]

Haha, yeah, I'd noticed that! That's okay, I didn't invent painting quickly :) Pretty happy that I've influenced the big boys though!

[@georgethomas9040]

Your videos are so soothing to watch, also love that you teach simple techniques for beginners to use to get some paint on their minis and look great

[@MidwinterMinis]

Thanks George! Yeah, that's exactly what I'm going for, glad you're enjoying them :)

[@frogjog8822]

This guide helped me absolutely speed paint my Grey knights! Thanks guy!

[@jonharper8963]

Guy - if you can’t be bothered to paint this bit don’t worry about it Me a lazy speed painter - ok

[@MidwinterMinis]

YES, this is the first time someone's used this meme comment on this channel. I'm so happy.

[@jonharper8963]

Indeed, all those subscribers meant nothing until now, this meme was truly the moment you knew your channel hit the big time and I’m glad I was at ground zero :p

[@scottb.8882]

Lol Mari is my service dog, we go everywhere together, even KZbin lol. Although I suspect she is a better painter than I am.

[@MidwinterMinis]

Awesome! She looks like an exceptionally good girl! :)

[@torymiddlebrooks]

As long as you both have fun, Scott!

[@georgenash9101]

I used the same technique on my deathwatch arms with the silver ever since seeing this vid they look great thanks

[@Azmoslam]

I don't own models or play these kinds of games. Why do I enjoy this? Also the back and forth between the two voices is weirdly calming.

[@MidwinterMinis]

Entertaining videos are good to watch, even if you aren't involved in the hobby :) I love watching gardening stuff, but I literally kill all plants, haha

[@shredman59]

You make them look so good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bravo.

[@Judgeharm]

I work with kids and we do a lot of war gaming as a means of therapy and what not, I recently picked up Blackstone fortress and gave each kid who was keen a model as 'homework' , the kid who got this model was upset that the 'speed' version of the painting was almost an hour. He was visably shooketh when I told him my Celestine took 1 week.

[@bwhity]

this channel has therapeutic benefits

[@TheMrFishnDucks]

Looks very cool. The blue tint is great. Lookng forward to the next one. Keep up the good work.

[@Tipperbodda]

Cheers once again guy. Just converted this model into an inquisitor and really looking forward to following this tutorial

[@MidwinterMinis]

Nice! That's a great idea :)

[@DarkMatterWorkshop]

Love the blue-ish armor, once again an awesome model !

[@MidwinterMinis]

Thank you matey! Glad you liked it :)

[@JoshmanJoyce]

That blue steel look came out so well.

[@MidwinterMinis]

Thanks Josh! :)

[@TheMonyarm]

This guy could actually work quite well as an Anti-Paladin miniature for D&D

[@MidwinterMinis]

Totally! He looks pretty rad, huh?

[@athollmcnicoll256]

So Penny likes Danglers and I presume as a Nurse she sees plenty of them? Cheers Guy for the interesting paint job and Penny for her quips and scary laughs.

[@MidwinterMinis]

Hey Atholl! She's actually a doctor, so she often gets to delegate the danglers, haha

[@athollmcnicoll256]

@@MidwinterMinis Well so far in my 66 years my dangler has only once been operated on and it became a YID (Israeli word for Circumcision).

[@BaijoGosum]

That Drybrushing of the Metal came out great. I’ll have to remember that technique. Great video, thanks!

[@MidwinterMinis]

Yeah, it makes a nice change from using washes :)

[@ElectroSoldat]

When she said "snuggly" it gave me pleaseant goose bumps...

[@HeroesBosses]

I saw my name on your Instagram post! I'M FAMOUS NOW!! I really like what you did with the armor - adding different colors into the metal. Very cool end result.

[@MidwinterMinis]

Yeah! I'ts my new favourite thing, haha. Got to find any niche I can ;)

[@Artificercyrus]

I would recommend putting cheap blue tack over connection points to help with adhesion

[@Pat0p]

I like the almost sallet thing they were trying to go for. I really like the blue steel you went with.

[@basicminiaturepainting]

Wonderfully painted

[@MidwinterMinis]

Thanks so much!

[@seymourbutz5353]

I love how penny is just here for the innuendoes 🤣

[@johndoodoohead9221]

Im painting this model for a buddy as an christmas. Ill use this guide, i like it better than the gw guide. Cold steel!

[@MidwinterMinis]

Nice, that's quite the accolade! :)

[@jchan8539]

I never thought of mixing blue to the metal paint. I had always just used the metal paint and tried to get a blue hue by putting blue wash over the paint. I always got poor results. Thanks for the tip, I wish I've seen this video before I painted my Crusader.

[@MidwinterMinis]

Yeah, mixing metallics is my new favourite thing! Haha

[@AssassinVgaming]

When can we buy some midwinter minis merch

[@MidwinterMinis]

Good question! We've got a few things in the works... so, soon! :)

[@stewartcope7219]

Love the paint job on this..and it only took 50 odd minutes to complete well done guy..takes me 2 days to finish a model..

[@MidwinterMinis]

Haha, just go fast! Blitz through those early stages and fix things as you go :)

[@ernieme101]

that blue armor , wow !!!

[@MidwinterMinis]

Thanks Ernest :)

[@DaBoomz13]

All the big I-letters in 40k don't mean Inquisition. That symbol is the symbol of Ecchlesiarchy. I think even Adeptus Terra, Adeptus Administratum etc. have the I in their symbol. But anyway, lore-policing aside, Great paintwork and tutorial!

[@ClosetGeek_DnD]

great painting and great video quality!

[@MidwinterMinis]

Thank you matey!

[@carpemkarzi]

Cool as always..man I gotta start painting more

[@MidwinterMinis]

Go for it! Stuff like this you can crack out in one session. Gives you a big sense of achievement :)

[@Joshz0rt2]

Don't superglue the stick used to hold the shield, the glue will be obsorbed by the wood and it it won't snap off, you will need to drill it out. Don't be like me and have to do it to 20 tau drone pulse rifles. Use a but of Blu-tak or similar poster sticky stuff.

[@MidwinterMinis]

Haha, our superglue just snaps off pretty easily, it's quite brittle. Maybe Blu-tack is a better shout :)

[@itcheebeard]

Never let anyone tell you that you can't drybrush armor and rounded surfaces! Kinda wish I'd done something similar with my chaos marines now!

[@13Robzilla]

Personally I loved the green purity seals. Without the amount of red not sure if it would have worked.

[@MidwinterMinis]

Thanks Rob! Yeah, it's nice to mix it up :)

[@PadraicSmith]

Just a quick question, what army would this represent on the table?

[@Totema1]

This would make a good model for a Crusader, which you can find in both the IG and Sororitas lists.

[@leonadis1047]

Could you do a space wolf speedpaint tutorial in the same type of the death guard/black legion video because it's a pretty popular space marines chapter but the painting requires many many step (because of the fur bone and gold) and i think your paint schemes look awesome

[@MidwinterMinis]

I'd quite like to try out Space Wolves, I've never tried one before, so it might take a bit of experimenting :)

[@leonadis1047]

@@MidwinterMinis I'm happy to hear that because i have the start collecting SW and the burning of prospero box to paint and convert

[@elijahtiemens5532]

Do you have any experience using Vallejo metallic medium for mixing more saturated metallic primary colours?

[@MidwinterMinis]

Not yet, it looks cool though :)

[@NarrowJester91]

is this a special mini? or a crusader mini from the astra militarum, but named? i dont get the fluff behind imperial crusaders at all. I mean they have Battle sisters and inquisition for that, dont they?

[@Vengeance161]

I too struggle with colour blindness in this hobby. I intentionally avoid armies like orks and ‘Nids, the green/red/flesh mixed schemes just blend into one drab mess in front of my eyes.

[@MidwinterMinis]

I didn't think Zandri Dust was a weird base for a flesh tone until I started this channel, haha.

[@Vengeance161]

Midwinter Minis oh man sooooo been there. Also used to use flesh tones for base coats for bone (back when tallarn flesh was a thing) for years until my wife told me that was weird.

[@paulvanappeven3340]

[@Boldro92]

mini looks pretty cool, but gold rims are terrible made that way. i can't understand why you used a true metallic color to highlight something which is basically NMM

[@MidwinterMinis]

The only reason is speed. NMM takes quite a bit longer than regular metallic. If you're comfortable doing NMM, then go for it!

[@Boldro92]

@@MidwinterMinis but that's what i meant. A true metallic gold and a brown wash would have been as quick as what you did, and imho it would have looked better

[@HeadCannonPrime]

Out of all the minis you have done this is my least favorite. The end result is very dull looking. the gold looks like dark yellow and the robe is a streaky mess. Not sure why you went this way since blue steel is so easy to do with silver and a blue wash and I have seen you do lots of great red clothes in the past.

[@1981troyboy]

or skip all this shit and just use contrast paint!. never going back to old paints again
