The more I watch TM the more I appreciate the sentiment to have a healthy relationship with the hobby. The tips and encouragement like this is really important to hear and is fantastic to hear by someone like me just starting out!

[@Josh24861]

[@salva4777]

It's all about the healthy relationship. In the hobby and in general.

[@timothyyoung2962]

Honestly I'm just happy I get time to paint and my minis come out decent. I don't strive for excellence. Just as long as they look pretty decent on the table. I'd say I aim for "That looks like a cool toy" kind of quality. If I hit that I'm good.

[@freshwaterspaceman7194]

Stay true to yourself, if you like the way it looks then this is the most important. We can't all be Karol Rudyk! (I say this as a shit painter myself hah!)

‘Gonna build little plastic people to stand next to other little plastic people and then dice get thrown and stuff like that’ - I don’t like how easily you just broke down my entire hobby into its salient parts so quickly haha 😂

[@cordial001]

I'm usually happy with good-enough when it comes to my minis. My eyes aren't sharp enough and hands aren't steady enough for me to get hung up on these things. I just take my time and be as neat as I can and that's where I find my pride in what I have done.

[@ZSTE]

I've found almost every single mini I have has issues, but they look rad when all together.

[@AndrewFishman]

As long as YOU are pleased with the mini, noone else matters. I know kids whose minis are nightmare pieces, but they love them. They painted them, they are proud of them and that is worth everything.

[@adamfox1669]

@@AndrewFishman so true. Although I personally cannot find that 'happy medium ' i think maybe its time to throw in the towel. Im sure the problem is mainly me/my issues, but its starting to destroy the fun of the hobby for me. Kind of depressing

[@AndrewFishman]

@@adamfox1669 Do not throw in the towel. I have painted my mediocre miniatures for 30 years. When I look at the minis I started with an then what I can do today, I am reminded that mediocre today is a lot better than my first attempts. :) Just focus on the basics, say " This model I am gonna colour between the lines" " This model I am gonna do some basic blends" Before long, you will have mastered the basics and be moving onto the more advanced techniques. "This model I am gonna paint the eyes." "This model I am gonna wet blend on the cloak". The only way you will not improve is to quit doing it.

[@jeffreygeorge8884]

Great advice, as always. I'd add a couple of points: First, a painted model is always better than an unpainted one, even if the paint job is less than great. Bad paint looks better on the table than gray plastic. And second, always paint forward. If you've been in the hobby for more than 15 minutes, unless you have superhuman impulse control, you have dozens, perhaps hundreds, of unpainted models. If finish a model and are a little disappointed with the results, you can strip it and start over, or you can put it aside and paint another. The best-case outcome if you start over--painting backwards--is you finish with one nicely-painted model. The best-case outcome if you move on--painting forward--is you have TWO painted models, one which is really nice, and one which is probably not as bad as you thought at first. Going back to point one, two painted models is always better than one painted model.

Personally I think those look good. Obviously it's all subjective and we all are our biggest critics, but I wouldn't be too hard on those paint jobs. The sentiment is definitely appreciated though.

[@elrondorio]

Agreed

[@Bluecho4]

It's best not to get hung up on failure. The human experience is defined by failure. That's normal. If you think you've failed, that's good. It means you dreamed the impossible dream, and tried to make it a reality. Maybe you can turn your failure into a success down the line with some more work. Maybe you can learn what not to do, so your nest efforts will be better. Maybe in time you'll realize that your failure wasn't that bad at all.

[@michaelmiguelsanchez]

It’s great to see people we look up to in the hobby publicly admit sometimes we all make mistakes and nobody is perfect. Makes the rest of us a bit more accepting of our own mess-ups.

[@WanderingCelts]

I use the arms length rule. If it looks good at arms length then it is ok. Taking photos and zooming in is torture.

[@Magmadon]

I needed to hear this. Thank you. Been working hard on my Griffons but whenever I share the work and see what others achieve, I always feel like I should give up and quit the hobby. So yeah, I needed to hear this.

[@damonx99]

Right there with ya bud. Totally needed this exact talk just now.

[@jameskyle7943]

One other thing along similar lines -- I take the "finished" models away from the painting desk and over to my hangout area, and just look at them in a different light for a while. Very often I will notice some pretty obvious stuff that needs to be touched up. What seemed like good contrast under the painting lamp may look like a dull blob under normal lighting. One thing I had to realize is that it is OK to do touch ups even if you have matt varnished the mini, in fact stuff like metal really needs to be re-brightened if it got matted out.

[@JustinBrown-gh9vv]

Diving in head first and expecting top performance is like throwing frosting in cake mix and expecting birthday cake. You just keep going. Sometimes you hit it, but when painting an army, “good enough” is a great place for the back line troops. Great content, Atom!

[@rat-matt-miniatures8705]

The tau helmeted head works really well.

[@ChapterMasterDad]

This came at a great time, I “ruined” my 1st unit yesterday, heavy intercessors. Either paint I shouldn’t have used or too humid. It’s amazing how even when they start super rough, as you fill in other colors and highlights, models kinda come together ok usually

[@AdairTheSkull]

The best thing in this hobby, or any for that matter, is to have fun with it. It is okay to push yourself, it is okay to try to out due yourself, but if you are not having fun, why? Take the time to have fun.

[@JudgeGlanton]

I finished some ork boys last week, and while I was doing them I thought they were good, but I was trying a few different color schemes, and after they were done I felt very meh about them. But - they're boyz. There will be more. This was also the first unit of my new army. I learned what I didnt want to do, and the rest of the army will be better as a result.

[@AndrewFishman]

LOL. First unit of new Boyz army, yep, there will be more. I am at about 250 boiz and growing the Waaagh. About 50 nobs and assorted other bits and pieces like Burna Boiz, Lootaz and Freebooters make a nice little Death Skullz army. Then there are the vehicles and Dreads. Have fun wiff yer Waaagh

I agree with you. I have sometimes problems because i always think my minis are not god enough. I see some miniatures from the pro's and i get sort of upset. But i know that i paint for me, not to show off or to sell, i paint to have fun with mu miniatures, and this happens to allot of people out there.

[@ftangftang4909]

I'm happy that I am not the only one to feel this way, I suppose each mini we paint is a lesson. Many thanks for sharing take care.

[@thomasgrable1746]

Painting is a lifelong journey, which is not necessarily linear. If you tried something that didn't work our as planned, learn from it and move on. Perfection is an unobtainable goal, so don't sweat it if your paint job isn't Golden Demon level. Enjoy the hobby and keep painting.

[@HellhoundNL]

TM is the channel were I go to when I hit a bump in the road, everytime I watch your vids I get excited to paint more and getting more motivated. Greetings from the Netherlands

[@kalfoxx7749]

But they are my favorite colour! My favorite colour being "painted". That said its bang for buck. These guys are super playable (super well painted - sometimes we judge ourselves way too harshly. Your time is better spent elsewhere by painting up some of the pile of shame, rather than doing models over that are perfectly adequate.

[@cavemanbum]

Model builder/painter of 35+ years. I recently painted 5 dwarf infantry using a sprue from the Oathmark line. Upon completion, I was thoroughly unimpressed, thinking my skills must be waning in my old age. These were not up to my normal standards. Then I applied a coat of Strong Tone wash from Army Painter. WOW. Did that make all the difference. The models turned out looking spectacular.

[@tabletopminions]

Washes are magical. I pretty much always use them. Thanks for watching!

[@minigamerjeonsofbattle9376]

[@davidharris915]

this topic is about a thing called "the Artist's Curse" basically things that look great to others are always not as good to the one who made it. the reason for this is because you know where it can be improved, where you missed a step. You will always be your own largest critic.

[@hailhydra7959]

None of my miniatures have ever turned out as good as I would have liked 😂

[@frocat5163]

I think everyone involved in the hobby would say the same thing if they were completely honest. Everyone else may think our work is amazing / wonderful / perfect, but we know what we "screwed up."

[@matthewvillarde5601]

The good models I have are the accidents, like I get too frustrated that ot doesn't look right and start slapping different colors together and so on. Then I say, huh, it's not that bad, I'm gonna fo this with the others. And the moment I try to replicate it, it just looks bad.

[@dmeep]

I mate at a gamingclub got stuck in a painting loop his entire army was primed byt after painting 3 units he thought he had improved so much that he started over on the first one he finished since it was no longer up to his new standard. On and on it went always repainting the same units instead of finishing of the entire army and then starting over

[@jack1701e]

For all the good works an artist makes there are way more rough sketches, doodles, failed projects, concepts thrown to the side and the like. Nothing wrong with messing up or making something not as good as you wanted. In my eyes you still did something, created something! And that's good!

[@edwardclay7551]

I picked up the Stargrave core rules recently and I like the look of them in general. But I think the Space Weirdos ruleset will make for some interesting use of a lot of my 40k miniatures.

[@AkaIceBear]

I learned how to paint lenses finally, after having 15 models or so done with piss poor lenses/glow effects. And I've decided I'll just leave em as is. Be able to look back on em and see how Ive improved.

[@alexsr2841]

Funny thing is, the last couple of weeks I've really got into Space Weirdos and I painted a gang of mercenaries from models I had lying around. I had a random Kroot guy and, instead of looking up reference photos and planning my scheme, I just went for colours that I liked and totally ignored the canon/fluff. Purple skin, green hair, yellow cloth. It came out GREAT, perfect for this little game. There's no moral to this, just sometimes working on something different brings out your creativity and really makes the hobby feel fresh. Oh and also, Space Weirdos is awesome.

[@davydatwood3158]

Another thing to consider is that painting models, like any other creative effort, benefits from collaboarative synergy. So take those "enh" models to the tourney, and play, and whilst you're there chat with your mates and say "hey, I'm not quite happy with these, what do you think?" And once you convince them that you really want advice and not just affirmation, they'll have their own ideas about how *they* would tweak the models - and that might give you a notion that really works for you.

[@CurrentKick]

I don't know what it is, but sometimes I'll go from finishing up some painted minis I'm really proud of, to the next one looking completely underwhelming. I think part of the problem - taking close-up pictures or videos for Instagram or KZbin. When else are you going be to looking (or judged, lol) at a mini THAT closely? Especially for a tabletop standard type paint job, I'm going for -- which from that distance, they (usually) look fine!

[@MrSJPowell]

Honestly, letting a mini sit is one of the best things you can do when you're not happy with it. Sometimes we get too caught up in the art we're doing, and we need to step away and come back to it a week or three later and see what needs to be fixed.

[@fredclasson7865]

A message that needs to be out more. I started the hobby some years back but everytime I talk to people who gave up on starting it they all tell the same story - they weren't satisfied with what they did. Not happy with moldlines, or that the metalic paint was too thick, could never decide on a paint scheme, wanted to switch Space Marine Chapter halfway through etc. You're gonna field like 30 basic Chaos Space Marines on the table, unless you're a professional painter no one is going to stop mid game to pick one up and inspect it. It's sad but true.

[@herlocksholmes9369]

1:50 If you want to give them a different look without much effort, you could take one model and try painting the shoulder pads and the belts/straps a different colour. And if it turns out worse, it's relatively easy to go back to the way is was before. An approach similar to the one I just mentioned is often worth trying out before making bigger changes to a project.

[@LPP_YT]

Always (at least imho) a good idea to look at something with fresh eyes. Even if it's something you're happy with, taking a break and coming back to review in the mooring often lets you see things you may otherwise have missed. But as you say, sometime good enough is good enough.

[@eroooz]

I started with my warboss in december and I had him on my table for 4 months just doing what you said in this video. Did some kitbash, let it sink in and after some days i did some more. And the same thing went on with the painting.

[@captainweekend5276]

I feel like this is one of the advantages the big wargames have over the smaller skirmish games. When you have lots and lots of models to paint, it allows you to use the smaller chaff units as a test bed for your colours and as they say, practice makes perfect. So when you come round to finally doing your big centrepiece models, or just the units you care about more, you already have that experience under your belt so you have a much higher chance of those models turning out well.

[@Gauldame]

Seriously though, I'm getting Dark City vibes off those guys and I am loving them.

[@Tent-Peg]

I've just stripped my rubric marines down (I originally had them different colours, some red, some blue etc) and decided to make them uniform using thalassemia contrast and while I like the colour I'm not sure on the rubrics. Good advise to let it breathe so to speak. I'm judging the blue without any other colour on the model. And yes.. its OK if its not a banger. 😁 Good video 👍👍

[@warrencann3824]

Excellent advice. It’s unrealistic to think you can do your best or even try to do your best at all times.

[@JHB141]

I just watched the video when you were painting the mini and you said the title of this video. And now this drops! Too funny!!!

[@anthonyhinkel5878]

Wisconsin shirt? Also, totally get this sentiment. I've been speed-painting old D&D minis in the last week just to empty the box and my latest Drukhari detachment is less refined. I wouldn't say rushed, but I'm not as focused on the sharp lines and details as I see a lot of people strive for. Perhaps it's artistic preference, perhaps the preference is based in an impatience or inability to paint every single individual plate on a suit of armor a different color, but I like what I've got, and that's what's important.

[@kodain]

I always regret something whenever I've painted a model. I've only painted give or take forty models in total (of which 20 are Necron Warriors), and some have turned out better then others. I've learnt how painting white is a pain in the rear, and so is yellow and orange. Still, I've kept the paint jobs, even though I could dunk them in acetone and start over. I see them as something I can learn from and improve, and then I can come back later and watch them and compare to my current skill, and really see that I've improved. I've also learnt that you don't see all the huge details unless you're really close, so I've learnt to not try to do Golden Daemon award paint jobs on a battle line model that I need to paint 40+ of.

[@gonzalosarriessanz270]

This is totally true, sometimes when I finish a miniature (especially if I have spent a lot of time into it) I'm kinda put down by the hardly visible mistakes. The solution is: go to bed, and check the end result the next morning, you would have forgotten about the mistakes by then hahahaha.

[@yellaturd]

I tried to paint a couple Seraphon skinks thinking it would be a casual easy paint job. I dunno if it's because I made the mistake of choosing yellow or because I went at it with casual effort in mind but man did those models turn out worse than everything else I'd painted recently. Killed my enthusiasm for painting more of my Seraphon for now.

[@DMKleinArts]

Yellow is a notoriously uncooperative color. Give it another pass, or mix with another similar red or orange or ochre tends to do the trick.

[@williaminnes6635]

I read that as "rangers" and was expecting something about a fantasy skirmish set that didn't come with quite enough bits to do a full warband of dual-wielding archers, or perhaps some new manufacturer of WWIIs who forced one to make some USMCs or airbornes as well in their first sprue.

[@seymourbabooms1694]

Damn you might not like em but I really dig them. Plus, you could maybe make a bunch of really thin, really bright glazes and start putting color in places. I did that with a Kroot I've been painting and glazing vibrant purple into the creases and folds of the muscles ended up looking a lot nicer than it would have without it

[@buzzedaldrin7316]

As long as you can learn from your mistakes then you have gained some knowledge that you will carry with you for every subsequent model that you paint, which in the long run is worth the frustration and sense of loss that you feel at the time. And just remember, although we chase results and hope to appreciate the end product, the process itself should be relaxing and enjoyable. If you find yourself beating yourself up and stressing over the results too much it's time to reconsider your expectations a little and remember that this is a creative recreational activity and not a competition (for most of us/most of the time, anyway...).

[@goon5544]

I have a lot harder time painting without a how to video, but I think it's a good challenge. I don't know all the tricks for colors and highlights so I struggle with it, but can usually get something at least good enough.

[@garethm9523]

[@christophermontgomery5106]

Save the models you don't like so you can look at them a few years on and see how far you've come. You don't always notice how much you've improved unless you have a reference point. Let those models be your reference point. Then, no matter how much I mess up in the future, I can look back on the old models and realize that my current "mistakes" still look better than my "really good" from a couple years ago. Keep painting. Putting paint on plastic/metal is how you get better. And you won't even know it until you look back at your older stuff. Paint on!

With those delaque cloaks you can't do bad, just slap any head and hands and you good to go. And if you don't want to get "delaque look" use more vibrant or pastel or jewel colors

[@RavenMorpheus]

Yeah, 99.9% of my models aren't "bangers". I think my peak was at the turn of the century, and I wasn't anywhere near being a Golden Daemon winner then. These days I'm lucky if I finish 5 models in 3 months! I find that comparing my models to other's on social media is a fools errand - I can't paint like Vince Ventruella for example (even if I do watch his tutorials). So I've given up trying to emulate other people's skills and just post photos of some of my completed models on Instagram when I feel like it, and mostly for my record. Painting doesn't always have to be a competition.

[@frocat5163]

That's a healthy attitude. I'd even argue that painting should never be a competition...unless you're actually entering a legit competition. My family routinely ooos and aaahhhs about the things I've painted, because they don't spend time looking at actual amazing paint jobs. I know every little mistake I've made, and I know that I'll never be a Golden Demon winner, but it's not important that I (or anyone) become "better" than anyone else.

[@jessmontgomery3454]

I'll be honest the Delaque are the worst redesign/remaining of the six core gangs, you did well enough with those guys. The core of the issue is they're so weird looking with those closed cloaks it doesn't look believable that they're agile assassins or can even jog let alone run 😄. Also there core pose is therefore hard to change compared to the trench coats they used to have 😪 love there new book and its creepy lore, but I'm struggling to find a better figure choice/pleasing conversion (although there newest boxset is nice it doesn't fix there base figures issues).

[@mycatistypingthis5450]

I certainly hope doctors aren't always trying as hard as they can. That's a certain way to burn out quickly. I hope they can do what they need to without extending themselves constantly. You can't always get what you want, but if you try, sometimes you get what you need, as someone sang.
