[USING AK PAINT PENS ON NAPOLEONICS]-The Easy Way To Paint Braid, Cuffs & Fine Details On Miniatures

Warlord Games makes awesome Napoleonic miniatures that are a pleasure to paint. But the elaborate nature of the period's uniforms also makes the models extremely intimidating to paint. But it does not have to be this way! The introduction of AK Interactive's Paint Pens allows you to pick out details with extreme precision, taking the miniature painting process from a chore to a fast, simple and easy process. In this video, I will demonstrate the awesome combination of Warlord's French Horse Artillery Models and AK's Paint Pens.
If you like miniature wargaming of any type including Warhammer, 40k, dioramas, Advanced Dungeons and Dragons (D&D), Black Powder, napoleonics, historicals and Bolt Action, I suggest you watch as this video.

glad to see the paint pens flow very well, and their coverage is nicely opaque.

[@MiniatureLandscapeHobbies]

Yes they are very good. I am still coming up with ways to use them, but they will be appearing in a ton of videos.

Your Napoleon artillery came out looking really great. I finally got hold of some of the AK paint markers last week. For me, it was one of those who held your breath, then wait and see moments. Back in the 80s, Tamiya paint pens were just horrible. The AK pen markers, on the other hand, are brilliant. The paint flows beautifully from the tip. Getting an even layer is really easy over a large area. Doing small areas like the cuffs of your figurines and belts, they save you a lot of time. Especially in brush cleaning. I have not tried them with speed paints yet, so you've given me something to look forward too.

Yes I have used other paint pens and Gundam markers….all close to useless in my opinion. These however do what you want.

Nice Paintjob :)

[@MiniatureLandscapeHobbies]

Thank you so much 😀

[@theenigmaticgamer]

Thanks for a very interesting tutorial. I’m debating whether to try using the AK markers. As for background, personally I prefer the black.

[@MiniatureLandscapeHobbies]

Thanks for the input. I have only done a few projects with the markers but I think they will be a regular part of my kit.

[@walkaboutgamez2502]

Awesome video 👍 I have used mine on my WW2 Japanese and American infantry. I will have to try them on my Naps and ACW . I’m trying out another brand I bought off amazon next

[@MiniatureLandscapeHobbies]

Please let me know about your experience with the other brand.

Thank you for sharing; When you put on the Mineral Spirits followed by the Black Enamel Panel Liner, is this done right away when the Mineral Spirits are still "wet"?? Your thoughts and response are welcomed. (May it be easier to apply a "Gloss Coat" and then the Enamel Panel Liner??)

[@TorchlightGamesandHobbies]

It's done while still wet, to encourage the panel liner to flow a lot further into the recesses for better shading.

[@MiniatureLandscapeHobbies]

Yes exactly! The mineral spirits are left wet it speeds up the process and looks very natural.

I'm totally not familiar with the paint pens. I'm not sure what they are supposed to bring to the process. the majority of the work was done with Speed Paint (maybe some normal acrylics). how does the paint pen differ from the traditional acrylic paint n brush we have been using ? This looks to be worth looking into.

[@MiniatureLandscapeHobbies]

The paint pens are real colour AK paint which is a type of acrylic. The main advantage is the accuracy with which you can apply them and the fact that you can flip flop between colors easier than with paint. I will be exploring more applications for these in upcoming videos.
