i like sets like this cause even though it is stated it is clan wren, you can just paint them to be any kind of mandalorian

[@Sorastro]

Thanks a lot! I couldn't resist having some fun with them :)

[@neilbrown2451]

I'm feeling some death watch or night owl action here. Mandos are all the rage, right now

[@Sorastro]

Absolutely Neil! That muted blue with dark red was modelled on the Death Watch 😀

[@AbsolXGuardian]

Yeah. My dad and I are looking into painting minature legions and I considered getting this set so I could express my concept for a Mandalorian Civil War tactical rpg video game by turning the minatures into some of my character ideas.

[@Paplok]

I love the finish you manage to get with your Scalecolor paints! When I use mine (especially blues and greens) I often end up with a white residue finish problem after they're dry on my models. I mix them really well using a tattoo ink shaker and glass beads inside and I checked some different bottles of the same colour but I still get that problem. Did you have the same problem in the past? If so, do you have a solution? Take care and keep your awesome, Sorastro, notifications about your new videos always bring a smile to my face, even if they end up on my "watch in the background while painting" playlist :D I'm at the KD Phoenix video and I must say, the mix of that model's look and your incredible music gives my painting sessions an eerie, creepy atmosphere, I love it!

[@Sorastro]

Thanks a lot Paplokh! I confess I've never had that problem to be honest. I wander if it's something to do with the water you thin the paints with? It's the only thing I can think of. Perhaps you could try thinning with distilled water or something..? :)

[@Paplok]

@@Sorastro It's a possibility, although if that's the case then I'm very unlucky :D I've recently moved to a different country and the problem remains. No matter how slim the chance of success is I'll check how the paint behaves when diluted with distilled water, thank you very much for the advice! Forgive my cheeky question but looking at my shelf a thought popped into my mind - do you plan to do any painting tutorials on Dark Souls the Board Game stuff? The models are'nt that spectacular (especially next to in example KD) but the franchise is very popular and the sizes are varied - from small player characters all the way to huge mega-bosses!

[@DeRueben]

Great video as always, very helpful to see someone actually paint the yellow symbols on Ursa and Tristan! Painting my Mandalorians right now! I still have an unpainted K2SO in my collection, specifically waiting for a Sorastro tutorial! Any plans on Cassian and K2? Cassian, I can do on my own, but I have no idea how to approach the metal/not-metal look for K2SO.

[@Sorastro]

Thanks man! I don't actually have Cassian yet, but I might cover his as a PDF guide at some point.. :)

[@DeRueben]

@@Sorastro That would be super helpful. I've been painting for 15 years, and I'm comfortable with my style and skill, but your vids still teach me ALOT. So I've been keeping it in my backlog since february, just in case you did a guide on them! And since Cassian and K2SO are doing great in the Legion meta, I assumed you'd paint them eventually. ;)

[@ryfterek]

Sir, this is nothing less than your usual and that means - a state of the art walkthrough for extraordinary work! I might happen to have a question regarding your technique - whenever you are building up the highlights with "increasing amounts of colour X", how many increments and layers are we talking? Is this two, three, five or ten mixes and approaches to the miniature?

[@Sorastro]

Thank you! Good question! It really varies quite a bit depending on the colour I'm working with, the area I'm covering (larger areas might require more gradations), and what kind of standard I'm aiming for. Typically I'd guess between 3-5 though :)

[@cooperbethell1208]

Sorastro, You should come to the United States and play Legion with fans. It would be a great opportunity to show off your great looking minis.

[@kevmott1]

Lovely work as usual. I have many GW and Vallejo paints. Are the scalecolour ones worth investing in as well?

[@Sorastro]

Thanks a lot! Hmm, it's a very personal choice really.. I actually wasn't too keen on the Scalecolor paints when I first tried them, but once I got used to them, I kind of fell in love! I might suggest just buying a couple of individual colours to begin with and see how you get on (and I find adding a little flow enhancer to my water when thinning helps make them easier to work with) 😀

[@kevmott1]

@Sorastro's Painting Thanks for that. When you say flow enhancer are you talking about vallejo glaze medium or GW lahmian medium or something different.

[@Sorastro]

No problem! Flow enhancer is something different. You'll find it in art shops etc. It alters the viscosity of the paint; I just add a little to the water that I use to thin the paint with (I use the Daler Rowney stuff, but most paint brands make one - Liquitex, Windsor & Newton etc). 🙂

[@ajlynch123]

So I’m sure this could go either way, but which do you think is best: paint each mini with a different paint scheme or pick one of the paint schemes to run on all the non-unique/character minis? I was leaning to the former but then thought the latter might be preferred...

hi Soroastro, lovely, lovely video I really enjoyed it. The production is great, focus and magnification are spot-on and not too lengthy, there's enough detail to get what's happening but not too much where it gets boring. to watch. I have a question for you. I love when you do the zenithal highlight, the miniatures look so dramatic, however, I feel that as soon as you start laying the base colors, the effect is lost entirely. So I was wondering what is the point of doing it. It would make more sense to me if you were just doing glazes or shades that allow the highlight to be seen underneath. cheers!

[@Sorastro]
