We taught a NOOB Mini painter the PRO TRICKS!

[@TabletopTime]

DISCLAIMER: the mean prank was planned for weeks, was first suggested by Rob, and we all found it hilarious, but we also very much complimented his great first paint jobs and made sure he painted several so we didn't destroy his first mini! We didn't think the skit would discourage new participants to the hobby, we were more getting a giggle out of a scenario that made us all laugh, probably because we are always positive and encouraging with each other's participating in the hobby and we feel safe enough with each other to joke in this way, sorry if it came across uncomfortably for you. We love Rob and know he did a GREAT first paint job!!

[@KitKatWiffleBallBat]

How could you?! I'll never believe in anything again! THE WORLD IS A LIE! IT'S NOT A SAFE SPACE FOR KIND, AND PEACEFUL PEOPLES! AAAAHHH! (Seriously though, I love that robot model! So cool looking. I love drawing skeletal machines, mechs, and futuristic guns and blades. This is the kind of Sci-fi I enjoy. Not Star Wars...yuck.🤫)

[@evelynlamoy8483]

I think that might have been a little rough for the people watching at home, even if it was a prank.

[@doubtful_seer]

I don’t know, it was a pretty accurate representation of art school. Actually, more the reviews they make you go through before you can even apply. I think it should be shown before all portfolio reviews. ~laughs over decade old scars~

[@sirbaconbuster]

I'm thinkin' about getting me an Everlasting wet palette too. I want the big one but **insert cash register noise here** and the little one might be big enough. (maybe)

[@Maxmillion77]

@@sirbaconbuster Up until now i've used a tiny takeaway container so it's a lot of realestate that I may not need but I just wanted the option. Better to have and not need than the other way and if nothing else the paper will last longer, as I inch across it, before needing changing. Got it through a 3rd party retailer for slight discount and XL was only £9 extra than the standard which isn't too much in this hobby. Saying that I think I'd be happy either way. XL is about A4 paper size and I'd imagine standard is around A5.

[@doubtful_seer]

That’s what I think the real topic of conversation should be. lmao

[@bigolbearthejammydodger6527]

A little constructive criticism and general comments for you: 1. With OSL - less is more, you get a better effect overall by making the glow smaller - the further away it is from the source the more of the underling colour should show - so less of the white stippling. 2. When undercoating a section in white before painting its a good idea to apply multiple coats or even better to start with a grey then move to white. Change the grey to light brown for warm colours or light blue for cold colours. 3. That base was awesome happy painting gents.

[@scottalderson4708]

You know what else minis can be used for? I just thought about this. Chess pieces. I'm sure it's already been done. I'm not big into the minis or table top stuff like this but it's cool seems fun. Different take on chess pieces would just be cool.

[@Saif-zf9vb]

Absolutely. I love custom chess pieces, my dad had ones with highly detailed sculpts of each piece, in human form.

[@kazilik1]

Great content.. poor necron warrior :(

[@lochieaxon]

RIP shitty necron warrior

[@szabib8048]

Even though the final result (black+blue) looks awesome, I still think the bronze version might look better anyway with some practice. Ultimately, it is Rob's decision to choose a color scheme he likes. Alas poor necron, I hardly knew ye.

[@eoinboyle2818]

i love your channel. you've inspired me to start mini paintings and I'm really loving it

[@CatDribble]

I kinda wish they still did the bronze/gold look instead of the silver, but it looked so good

[@hjewkes]

Yeah, rather than helping a newbie improve their initial design, they kind of ran off and did their own thing

[@narratordave7831]

@@hjewkes That was the boxart from the learn to paint set - The black and blue scheme is the one Rob wanted to paint, and we showed him how to do it using simple techniques for a new painter

[@hjewkes]

@@narratordave7831 Ah good to know. I think since Rob is really only in the video for the initial gag, it isn't really clear if or how he was involved in any of the future design or execution. In future, it would be great to include a little context from Rob (or whoever) on what they want to achieve. My interpretation from the video was just that "other people paint them black instead". Still loving the content, just would have loved to here more from rob beyond the initial gag

[@euansmith3699]

That looks great in the end; proof that a nice base can make pretty much and mini look better; and a tidy rim makes a mini look finished.

[@Philbrush]

Seeing all the 40k minis lately is really making me want to get back into the game...or at least painting them. Anyways Rob, looking forward to seeing your necron army grow to epic proportions!

[@peridotgamers1758]

Thanks for the Salamander painting tutorial at the beginning!

[@PyroDraco91]

TBH his first mini was already really nice and I prefer his first one, but thats completely subjective. And your attempt, sure its nice too, but its completely different and you can't compare it. - sometimes you just have s newbie do his thing to let him develope an own style, since he will now try to replicate that "new" and "better" version, instead of trying things by himself.

[@narratordave7831]

I think something that got left on the cutting room floor is the explaination that 1) Rob only painted his necron that way because it was what the boxart said on his 'learn to paint necron warriors' pack. and 2) He wants to paint the Thokt dynasty, which is how the second necron appears. We showed him 3 different ways to approach OSL and loaded him up with heaps of different basing materials. It comes off a little like "No paint it like this" when in reality there was a heap of discussion about how to use different techniques to achieve different effects. In fact the whole second model was like a 1 hour crash course in drybrushing, line highlighting and then basic OSL.

[@TheCheeksMiller]

I like Rob's color scheme over all better. Lets see the glow effects applied with that color scheme :)

[@alexanderstarr7219]

Hahahahahaha “DO BETTAH!”….smashes with hammer. *Dies inside* Jazza, feigning sympathy or so it seems, proceeding to light his smashed dreams on fire. I have never laughed that hard while feeling so sorry for someone in all my life! That was priceless. Someone needs to make a GIF immediately….

[@TheBeelzboss]

I liked the "before" way better in almost every way. I really can't stand OSL on table top minis. The one part that I think looks better is the blue part on the weapon with the color gradient to infer intense light inside.

[@OverkillSamurai]

finally someone shows how to do a glow with brushes!

[@twosidedcoin4688]

In my experience for osl just use contrast, it gives you an intense deep colour, I wish KZbin would let me post a pic of my crons, it's super easy to get a great looking osl, especially if you use a dark colour for the main part of the unit

[@Peregrintoook]

If you do a layer of pva glue on top of the paint and under the crackle medium it give you really nice big juicy cracks (tee hee) and helps prevent the crackle paint chipping off

The funniest thing about this video for me is that Rob's initial paint job looked better than the fancy one, in my completely amateur opinion, having only ever painted 12 necrons about a decade ago as the extent of my mini painting. The base was way cooler on the second one, but I preferred Rob's color scheme, and thought the lighting effects were too busy.

[@philliplovelace6147]

LMFAO. Had to hit the like button when the hammer dropped. Have felt like doing this to so many of my own necrons here recently as I have been learning to paint them.

Honestly I like the armor on Robs version and the weapon on the new version.
