I really fell in love with ASOIAF minis - already painted a whole bunch of them - and the techniques you describe are doing great on them: lots of furs and cloaks, and textures, etc.

[@MiniatureRealms]

There’s some lovely minis on the ASOIAF range, I’m glad the video might be useful 🙂

[@ellesse3862]

I do enjoy watching you paint warhammer fantasy miniatures and any opportunities to seeing your armies come together as they grow is a bonus, who doesn't love to admire a collection in a showcase and its updates over time. Looking forward to picking up the books upon release for the fluff and eyecandy, just as much as the rules, and of course raise.. I mean.. buy some more Tomb Kings

[@MiniatureRealms]

I think I’m more excited about the books, something very special about getting lost in each edition of Warhammer, evokes many good memories. Thank you for the kind words 😊

I don't do Brettonia but the techniques can obviously be used for any army / subject, just using different colours. Lovely job on the fat friar Stuart :)

[@MiniatureRealms]

Thank you very much 😊

[@zacaritest]

I love your tutorials about the old world, it makes me want to start my own army because I love Fantasy. Thank you for uploading content from the old world, it helps a lot to attract new interested players

[@MiniatureRealms]

Thank you 😊

[@Vorpal_Wit]

These look great. I can't wait to see the whole Army on your fabulous table.

[@MiniatureRealms]

Thank you, I can’t wait to see them either, still have a lot of painting to do 😬😅

[@BrushQuill]

Another brilliant guide sir! Wonderful paint job. Looking forward to seeing your finished army

[@MiniatureRealms]

Thank you mate 😊

[@BrushQuill]

@MiniatureRealms In case your interested here was my completed 3000pt (for AoS) Brets. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZrQqGSImNCjeqssi=2ROmSa1BF74vWkmh

[@MedievalWargamer]

Amazing work!

[@MiniatureRealms]

Thank you very much 😊

[@knedoshane]

Painting up a Dwarf Army from Highland Miniatures. Green and yellow predominately. I have been painting very much in the same vein as your videos (just not as good yet). Keep up the good work! Repainting a Beastmen Army is next on my list!

[@MiniatureRealms]

Highlands Dwarves are amazing, as green and yellow sounds great as well. Thank you for the kind words, glad you’re enjoying the videos.

[@Anvilarm07]

Gorgeous. I have never used that thinned purple on flesh but I may next time. It looks great.

[@MiniatureRealms]

Thank you. Yep it works very well, I’m enjoying using the method right now. Have done similar things with blues and greens in the past as well.

[@goforitpainting]

Looks cool.

[@MiniatureRealms]

Thank you

[@Gage_Welch]

Yooo new upload

[@MiniatureRealms]

🙂

[@benhadaway3322]

Fantastic. I would recommend listing all the materials/paints you used in the description.

[@MiniatureRealms]

Thank you. I’ll try and get around to that at some point.

[@garvielloken10th]

How dare you copy my colours!!! Honestly mate another great video and a real pleasure watching your videos!

[@MiniatureRealms]

😂 Thank you 😊

[@Svengar]

Another great tutorial Stu. I’ll be curious to see what colours GW shows as examples in their upcoming Arcane Journal. The empire colour schemes are based on region and I suppose Bretonnians will be more based on the Duke although that also probably aligns with a regional approach. Red and blue might work well?

[@adron1261]

Red and Blue is a classic Bret scheme. Couronne (north west) home of the previous (pre end times) King.

[@MiniatureRealms]

I think it will be a mix, there’s a lot of recognisable regions on the map, and then there will be the Border Princes Dukes and Barons as well.

[@adron1261]

Another great one, currently looking at painting what I believe is my last old metal archer. After that its men at arms or knights and I have to make a decision on how many schemes and variations to have in my Bret army.

[@MiniatureRealms]

Thank you. What do you think you’re going to go with? I’m sticking to the yellow and blue throughout.

[@adron1261]

@@MiniatureRealms My archers are blue and yellow (have been since I started them in 5th ed), I have a handful of knights is a few schemes so I plan to have at least a unit of mixed heraldry knights. Looking back over the heraldry section of the old bret army book I was liking the idea of picking a region and using several colour combos but keeping a unified heraldic symbol, maybe the dragon of Bastonne.

[@MiniatureRealms]

Oh I like that, that’s a very nice way of doing it.

[@odycayblue]

Great tutorial! How did you find painting the Man at Arms with the shield on? Would you recommend gluing it or sub assembly?

[@MiniatureRealms]

Thank you 🙂. You know what, I was worried at first but it was totally fine, and for rank and file painting them all separately would have been a pain as well. The men at arms sculpts are strange as well, the stop at the elbow on the body, and the hand and forearm are part of the shield.

[@odycayblue]

@@MiniatureRealms if it saves time I’m all about it!

[@MiniatureRealms]

@odycayblue Absolutely. Very often the perception is sub assembly saves time and increases quality, and it can very well do that. But if you’re painting an army, and are comfortable that you can’t see what’s behind the shield (in this example) anyway, then it’s not always the time saver it appears. You also have to glue on after painting, which means superglue and the potential of frosting on the paint work.

[@Stonehorn]

You should put a paint list in your descriptions.

[@MiniatureRealms]

I’ll try and get around to it, I do sometimes, but mostly it’s a time thing.

[@Stonehorn]

@@MiniatureRealms i definitely get it. Was just a suggestion.

[@MiniatureRealms]

@Stonehorn it’s good one don’t worry, it’s something I need to get in the habit of doing

[@magmimik]

It’s so nice scheme! Do you varnish your minis afterwards?

[@MiniatureRealms]

I don’t tend to varnish plastic ones.

[@magmimik]

@@MiniatureRealms and no issue with them when playing? :) i love your smooth tomb kings! Not only great look but pleasure to watch! Thank you!

[@MiniatureRealms]

@magmimik Thank you 😊 No not had any uses with them. I’m careful if it just a contrast style paint, as that can run off, but as soon as you highlight on top it seems to be the same as any other regular paint.

[@sigmatus303]

Reikland? Lol top job mate

[@MiniatureRealms]

Thank you 😂

[@Flatwing]

Do you paint the men at army in subassemblies? I can’t imagine painting his chest with the shield on.

[@MiniatureRealms]

I don’t for these, I find I can get to enough of the model so no unpainted area shows. Theres obviously a part that I can’t get to, but it’s fully hidden, and for rank and files I don’t mind that. The arms are attached to the shield as well, so that’s another reason I fully assembled, but it’s a personal choice thing really.

[@GilthosDrakoniss]

😊

[@MiniatureRealms]

🙂

[@MKeele83]

In the pictures that started the video, they Hippogriff conversion, what was used as the hindquarters? I'd love to try something like that.

[@MiniatureRealms]

I used the Kragnos miniature, I made a video on it: Warhammer: The Old World | Bretonnian Lord on Hippogryph Conversion kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZPYaqCFjryNj9k

@MKeele83 Thank you 😊

[@flitch1972]

Hello super travail !!!👍Ma question est à quel échelle sont ces figurinnes !! Merci d'avance bonne fête 🥳

[@MiniatureRealms]

Thank you. Technically 28mm, but they’re Games Workshop, so heroic 28mm, much bigger than historical ‘true’ 28mm.

[@flitch1972]

👍merci beaucoup ....je suis abonné cher vous et suis très comptant d'apprendre ce que vous faites merci encore pour ce super travail

[@flitch1972]

Et bonnes année

[@MiniatureRealms]

@flitch1972 Thank you 😊

[@seanuh60]

Man I really want to get into the slap chop style i just don't see how it's possible to fix mistakes. I've been a wash fan for a long time, just filling in all the parts with their colors then covering sins by blending with a wash. But it's really easy to fix things that way. You can go back and forth as many times as you need to keep the right colors in the right places. But how do you fix mistakes? If you get brown all over your yellow areas how to you fix it? Do you repaint the white first? How do you fix the zenithal transition? Do you you mask and reairbrush?

[@MiniatureRealms]

I guess much of that depends on the final finish you’re after. For 80/90% of the miniature I’m just using underpainting to as a base coat, and then highlighting further on top, so I get plenty of chance to tidy bits up then. If I do make small errors in the base coat, then I find tidying with white, or even grey then white restores the effect enough.

[@nordicmaelstrom4714]

I do like your painting style Stuart. I am unfortunately not willing to trust GW anymore and have little faith that these miniatures will be at a decent price and that they will produce enough of them. I also can't get out of my head the feeling that they can and will cancel this line at any time because they have done so so many times in the past. I am not working on anything right now as I have no miniatures in house. I am waiting for some to arrive early next week. I will be painting 15mm early world war two miniatures. I ordered a bunch of French, Polish and German infantry and support weapons so I shall finally be embarking upon early war ww2 using the venerable Command Decision Test of Battle rules and also giving O Group a whirl since basing is not a problem for either set.

[@MiniatureRealms]

That sounds like an interesting project, must admit I’m not that familiar that first set of rules you’ve mentioned.

[@nordicmaelstrom4714]

Command Decision is a long running series of rules for ww1 and ww2. They are considered the gold standard for ww2 miniature gaming at the battalion scale where each stand is a platoon. I've had the pleasure of knowing the two authors and gaming with them so it became my go to rules. Unfortunately I've been largely out of the miniature gaming hobby for a number of years just doing 28mm and then I decided it was time to go back to where it all started 15mm ww2 and now I get to start afresh. @@MiniatureRealms

How to paint Old world model 1: Buy Box 2: See price (I’m Australian) 3: Suicide

[@MiniatureRealms]

You do have my sympathy for the pricing you get

[@Alwaysmp01]

I am just sad that these are all the old minis. I was even looking at collecting Tomb Kinds again. If GW is going to charge these prices then I would expect new sculpts and molds. Good luck to the folks that pick this up. Sad face.

[@MiniatureRealms]

Lots of alternatives out there for those who don’t like the old minis. But sadly TOW is no longer a main line game (that’s only really 40K & AOS), the sheer amount of minis needed for this game always meant they’d have to return to the old ones. Out of a lot of the old ones, I actually think these men-at-arms stand up better than a lot of the others.

[@ComandaKronikk]

Bro get some highland miniatures. So insanely detailed

[@Stonehorn]

There are so many beautiful sculpts out there. Personally I love the old mini’s, but you can find a proxy for every unit in the army.

[@garylee4315]

Solve it all, release all oldhammer sculpts as stls!

[@MiniatureRealms]

With them existing as traditional sculpts and not digital files, that’s a whole lot of scanning to do. I’m also not sure GW are going to give away 40 years of IP as files, would seem like a strange choice.

[@legionarioitalico8225]

But really? Blue and yellow?! What disgusting colors

[@MiniatureRealms]

😂
