Warhammer: The Old World | Bretonnia Questing Knight Paladin | Tutorial

[@mcyolicjones9081]

Inspiring. I've never left the comfort zone of the early 90's style painting on a pure white base. I may finally give some of this "slap-chop" stuff a go as folks are waiting on me.

[@MiniatureRealms]

Thank you 🙂

[@kevoreilly6557]

Your under painting is so good, and so important for depth.

[@MiniatureRealms]

Thank you, and yes absolutely, I love the way it guides my painting but also adds extra depth.

[@hedu5017]

Amazing job on a very cool miniature!

[@MiniatureRealms]

Thank you 😊

[@adrian.k1982]

Wow, that's really one of the best Bretonnian miniatures ❤❤ great paint job ❤

[@MiniatureRealms]

Thank you that’s really really super kind 😊

[@roguetrooper5401]

Beautiful work as always mate keeps me motivated to try and improve my own work

[@MiniatureRealms]

Thank you mate, that’s really kind of you to say.

Back when I was new to the hobby, I was afraid of painting over white primer or zenithal so I stuck to black primer because it felt safer. But since the Citadel Contrasts came out in 2019, they taught me the power of white and light gray undercoats. Ever since then, and with the arrival of the Army Painter Speedpaints it completely transformed my painting. What is being done here is now my go-to method for armies as well as individual models. It's fantastic because you can see how Stewart uses the natural boundaries between details to his advantage. You don't have to force anything, all he needs to do is fill in the details up to the zenithal shadow divisions between details and the shadows are already there. It is AMAZING how well this works and how fast you can get armies done! All my friends who see my models think I'm doing traditional painting with painstaking labor. This technique gives you a high tabletop standard that I would argue is so close to display standard there's virtually no difference.

[@MiniatureRealms]

Thank you Mike, and you definitely get it, love this method.

[@7thson726]

Great video to wake up to and enjoy with a coffee 👍 nice one mate, lots of techniques here that are applicable across so many ranges. Top stuff 😁

[@MiniatureRealms]

Thank you dude. The techniques work very will on Ragged Staff Miniatures I think 😀

[@7thson726]

@@MiniatureRealms👀😉😅

[@fogh]

A really stunning looking miniature! 👍 I especially like the metallics. Very interesting starting with the dull bronzey gold colour for silver aswell as gold types. I’ve been starting to play with oil washes so very useful to see your approach here.

[@MiniatureRealms]

Thank you Andy. I love working with oils, it makes working on things like metals so much easier.

[@fancymichael6113]

I love your painting tutorials mate!

[@MiniatureRealms]

Thank you 🙂

[@Gage_Welch]

Your tutorials are really good. Thanks for sharing your journey!

[@MiniatureRealms]

Thank you 😊

[@docremington1589]

Great tutorial as always! You have truly become one of my favourite channels. Such brilliant yet economic paint jobs. By the way, oil paints mixed with white spirit are of no danger to your normal acrylics. Only if you flood the surface it might give the same effect as if you’ve flooded it with water.

[@MiniatureRealms]

Thank you, that’s very kind 😊. I’ve never really had any issues with oils that way either, but like to give the warning just in case someone does go a bit heavy.

[@James__V]

I seem to remember you mentioning a couple of times (in the podcast perhaps?) how much you were looking forward to getting hold of this model, it shows in the final results. You really played to the models strengths to make it look like such an individual all the while maintaining the uniformed yellow and blue. Great stuff!

[@MiniatureRealms]

Thank you 😊. Yes this along with the foot knights and Ellise Duchaard are the models I have been most excited about.

[@TerryWarden-fw7ob]

Nice job, I need to have a look at the Scale 75 metallics, I could certainly be tempted by this figure.

[@MiniatureRealms]

I love Scale Metallics. I’d recommend Decayed Metal, Black Metal, Thrash Metal, Necro Gold, Viking Gold, Dwarven Gold and Elven Gold. I prefer Game Air Silver for my bright silver, but that lot pretty much covers most stuff.

[@BrushQuill]

Awesome guide mate. He looks brilliant mate

[@MiniatureRealms]

Cheers dude 😊

[@Neves1789]

Nice work!

[@MiniatureRealms]

Thank you 🙂

[@KingMATTtheSuperior]

Wonderful tutorial as always Stuart! I’m just about to crack back on with my tomb king project. Have a couple trays of miniatures ready to prime.

[@MiniatureRealms]

Cheers Matt. Your TK army is looking pretty large now, will look fantastic when it’s all done.

[@vogless]

Loving your channel. Great tutorials!

[@MiniatureRealms]

Thank you 😊

[@themetal6216]

such an awesome model!

[@MiniatureRealms]

It’s a lovely sculpt

[@christophk.3085]

Nice tutorial and great work!

[@MiniatureRealms]

Thank you 😊

[@chriswhite1819]

Very nice! Particularly like the splashes of red as an accent. I've been working on movement trays and scenery for my counts-as Empire army.

[@MiniatureRealms]

Thank you 🙂. What scenery have you been working on?

[@chriswhite1819]

Fences, a tent, log stack and a pair of ponds. Hoping to start on some woodlands and hedges soon.

[@MiniatureRealms]

@chriswhite1819 sounds like a good start, I really need to build some bases for woods (I’ve got plenty of trees).

[@brieg7286]

Awesome !!! Please also make a tutorial about the Duke on Royal Pegasus. The painting is awesome.

[@MiniatureRealms]

Thank you . I’ve started building one today, so I’m it will become a tutorial in the next few weeks 🙂.

[@Joebarrett0611]

Hello! Amazing tutorial and I love all your content. Do you know what the equivalent to Amarth blue would be in GW paint? Thanks in advance

[@MiniatureRealms]

Thank you that’s very kind 😊 It’s very close to Teclis Blue, but slightly lighter.

[@aurel-tk]

He seems to be taller and more inline with the current range in terms of size, what do you think ?

[@MiniatureRealms]

Half a head taller than a men-at-arms, so not crazy out of whack for a man in full plate (and a hero). So probably slightly yes.

[@Sandrip3926]

​@@MiniatureRealms Heroes being a bit more theatrical is grand

[@Martin.W.F]

Looks great. I might have to grab some scale75 metallics myself 👍

[@MiniatureRealms]

Thank you. I can definitely recommend them. Decayed Metal, Black Metal, Thrash Metal, Necro Gold, Viking Gold, Dwarven Gold and Elven Gold are my staples.

[@MaTTabletop]

Amazing paintjob! your lucky to get one. 😄

[@MiniatureRealms]

Thank you, and yes I managed to grab one in the scrum in the first 5 mins of open day (my GW isn’t here yet like many others).

[@Svengar]

Gorgeous looking miniature and a very helpful tutorial. I'm glad you managed to get a hold of one. Probably a difficult question to answer but how long do you think it would take to paint a miniature like this? I know you could elect to do less layering which would save time and obviously outside of making a video it would be a little quicker as well. Typically I imagine batch painting is where you would make things quicker. I know when I have painted this has helped speed things up a bit but of course hero miniatures typically would be done outside of the rest of a batch.

[@MiniatureRealms]

Thank you. This one took about 5hrs, would possibly be closer to 4hrs to this standard if I wasn’t filming.

[@Svengar]

@@MiniatureRealms awesome stuff. That sounds like a manageable amount of time, something that could happen over the course of a Saturday or Sunday afternoon

[@ericsmith5770]

Working on Feudal World Astra Militarum and thinking of using this model as a commander

[@MiniatureRealms]

That’s a very cool idea!

[@GilthosDrakoniss]

👍👍

[@MiniatureRealms]

🙂

[@MrBlackear]

It’s all coming together nicely, both armies are going to look great out on the table. Have you been smashing out core troops in the background.

[@MiniatureRealms]

😆😬😅

[@henriksorensen82]

Absolutely fantastic paint job. I unfortunately missed this model and a few others, waiting for them to come back in stock, but the question here is when will it happen?

[@MiniatureRealms]

Thank you. I was lucky that I was able to get into Warhammer World in the first mins of the open day, as I’d missed them online as well. They will definitely be restocked, but I expect they will come in and out of stock for a while until it settles. I can definitely recommend clicking the ‘email me’ button on any out of stock stuff that you’re after, not only does it mean you will get notified, I’ve been reliably informed that data genuinely gets looked at.

[@henriksorensen82]

@@MiniatureRealms Awesome, I'm glad for you and me, because I got a great tutorial 😊 Yes I have done that on every model even if I'm not sure if I really want it, just for that reason. Because I know that not everyone will do it.

[@mojoturner5292]

Where can we buy this model in the USA?

[@MiniatureRealms]

I’m really not sure right now, I seem to remember something about the resin miniatures from the release were delayed in the US fora short period, a shipping thing.

[@Dark_Templar28]

Ok, how did you get this mini? I don’t see it on the webstore.

[@MiniatureRealms]

I bought it in the Warhammer World store on release day, but was lucky to be close to the front of the queue as it had sold out in 5 mins. I missed out on pre-order day on the website. It’s currently sold out on the UK webstore, and I think it was delayed in some parts of the world (along with all the resins) because of shipping issues.

[@Dark_Templar28]

@@MiniatureRealms I have a feeling I’ll have to pay scalper price. Lucky you, us Americans are at the mercy of the webstore and our LWS.

[@MiniatureRealms]

I was lucky to be able to go there on launch day yes. We have the same issues webstore wise though, like I said I couldn’t buy one online, going to Warhammer World isn’t normally an option for me. They are main line items, so they will be back in stock, and available on the US store as well. I know that doesn’t help you right now though, you do have my sympathies. There’s a lot of people waiting for lots of stuff to come back in stock, myself included.
