Zombicide Black Plague Dip Method and Walls

- I needed a fast way to paint up all of these Kickstarter minis and decided to use the "dip" method. Super easy and requires only one coat of paint. Also made low walls for the map using Hirst Arts mold #88.

I think it's so funny the way everyone who makes a polyshade/quickshade tutorial says the same thing..."Now, when you first put it on you may think, oh my gosh I just ruined my painted mini." Because that is EXACTLY what went through my head the first time I used it Lol. You have to just trust the process and let the stain work its magic. Nice job 👍
Of the thousands of videos about how to paint minis, this one is now my favorite! I followed the instructions to the letter and used the exact same products . . . my results went from 3rd grade arts & crafts to a solid notch above amateur - thanks!
I wish I had the time to go into this much depth on my games! I am very envious of both your time you have and the talent and pride you take in your set ups!
i know it's kinda randomly asking but does anybody know of a good site to stream new series online ?
Last week I purchased a small (but pricey) can of Quickshade. I wish I would've discovered this video before that! Thanks, I learned a lot from this!
great video. i just bought my first board game and remembered your DIY table video. i'm glad i did . you have inspired me to jump right into painting. now i can get the kids away from so much screen time to painting and playing. thanks and keep up the good work!.
This video is very inspirational. Glad to know that you don't necessarily need extremely high quality paint and tons of time to make awesome looking miniatures
They look awesome, You absolutely nailed it. I will be trying this out later tonight.
Your work is really inspiring. Especially because you keep everything manageable and quick.
Thank you for the more economic option, I've been on the fence to spring for the army painter quick shade because of the high price tag. I've never seen this option in use and I think your models came out great! Big thumbs up for this option. 👍🏼
Looks fantastic! The walls are a very nice touch! I paint everything I get my hands on - I'd love to try painting those walls :)
Thanks for the instruction! Want to make these walls, but confused about the mold. You posted where to buy it, but then you stated you had to make a "custom mold out of mold max 30." What is this? How do we make it/buy it?
You just saved me from buying the quickshade + international shipping fee XD the end results look amazing! Thanks a lot for sharing!
you're a dedicated man !! some very useful tips contained herein. Thanks
Great video, I just got into this game, I learned a lot!
So nerd Core!
Really enjoyed watching.
All I can say is.. you are impressive.
Amazing. Well done. Always look forward to your vids.
Hey great video! Could you do a gameplay/rules video with your painted Zombicide minis and terrain? I think that would be a blast to watch.
thanks for sharing! one of the best I've seen great tip on the minwax.
Excellent! This video was super interesting, useful!
I've watched this video too many times . . . thank you!
I'm going to start painting my Black Plague figures soon. Thanks for the video. Lots of great ideas to draw from.
As a side note, while I like testors dullcote myself it sometimes is hard to find. I found that Krylon 1311 Matt Finish for artists is nearly identical. I found it at my local art supply store.
Yeah, I've stopped using Dullcote and now use Rustoleum's Dead Flat--it's more matte and a lot cheaper.
@@gaminggeek241 That's very strange, I tried Dead Flat and found it was way glossy even after shaking the heck out of it. Maybe I got a bad can.
@@BrianReichert You have to be very sparse with it because a lot of spray comes out.
Brush Polyshades onto a test wall section, and a test door. I think you will be pleasantly surprised at how good they will look. Polyshades is superb for terrain, as well as miniature creature figures. Cheers!
That dull coat did make a huge difference!
That is so awesome!! Good job man!
Great video! Definitely going to try this dipping method. What type of spray paint do you use as a primer. I usually paint my by hand. Spray painting seems so much easier
I use Rustoleum Painter's Touch 2x Ultra Cover that I can buy at my local Walmart for under $4 a can. In the video, I use Green Apple, White and Grey, all flat finish.
Wow, this is really great.
I think you could do the same "washing" with a 100% pledge future shine + ink. Because the pledge also has the same adhesives that really improve the flow, also it provides an acrylic protective coat without the smell... well a little smell, but not the same ugly one. Also it's easier to mix your own wash colors with standard inks that way.
Many war model painters do it that way to cover up their planes with pledge future shine.
They look VERY good! I can recommend giving them 1-2 sprays of Testors Dullcoat. That will make them look even better! Try it! :)
Got the mold and some smooth cast 300. Wow, they weren't kidding about 3 minutes of pour time. I was a bit slow, which caused and interesting effect. One of the walls didn't have a complete bottom, so I worked it over destroying the brick and stones above that area, and filed it down smooth. Now I have a "destroyed wall" marker to replicate when I make a mold. (I don't have those pre-made tokens, nor the doors). I'll try dipping them tonight and see what I get.
Dear Sirs :) Could it be possible to order some vast walls for the game, I would love to have them in the game :) With regards Martin from Denmark
Thanks for this video, it's been very helpful:)
Do you do any gameplay videos? Reviews? Id love to see these minis in action and hear your thoughts.
How did you make the mold of the mold?
Very kewl! Excellent tips
Love the walls. Bought the mold so I can try this as well. I also have the polyshades, but I like to thin them down a bit with mineral spirits before using them, especially if I dip them, as I think the polyshades are thicker than the Army Painter dips.
I'm also wondering how it might turn out if the walls are dipped. Once I create some, I guess I'll have to test that out.
Yeah, I tried dipping one of the walls to test it out and it looks good but then I realized that I would need to dip the doors too to match and decided against it. But you should go for it if you like it.
Fantastic job! We Kickstarted this as well and your video has inspired my husband and I take on this project. Can you tell me what color you used for the Rustoleum green?
Color name is Green Apple. You can see it at 4:22. Good luck painting!
Whenever you use mold release, you just need to soak/wash the casts with soapy water and a toothbrush. I usually let is soak in a dishsoap/water bath for a bit. Then lightly scrub with the toothbrush and rinse. That should remove any mold release, then you shouldn't have issues with paint. I do that with any resin whether I cast them or someone else does.
great video I love all your videos they actually are what made me start doing hirstarts and miniatures for board games but in this video you talk how you store some of the new stuff but how do you store your completed games or completed characters that would be a great video
Yeah, storage is a huge issue. I made cheap boxes out of MDF that stack on top of each other and that's how I store everything. Not ideal but cheap. I'm running out of space though so might need to sell some older stuff I'm no longer using.
This giant rat abomination looks spectacular!
Thanks!
wow you are so good!
Bastante genial 🎉
Hey that's great! I'll def give this method a shot. I can already see multiple applications that will work for me. Is the Minwax very stinky? I try not to use products that have heavy fumes whenever possible. I just discovered your channel and only have one complaint- not enough content:) Thanks for the great tutorials!
Thanks for the compliment! Minwax is stinky and you definitely want to use it outside--that's why I have it in the garage with the door open. It doesn't smell as bad as resin or epoxy where I have to use a respirator and since you aren't turning it into an aerosol, you aren't breathing the stuff in that much.
What are the minis made from, I'm guessing plastic?
By the way, very nice looking board with the Hirst Arts walls and the paint jobs on the minis look great!
plastic, yep.
Awesome video... I just started painting mini few weeks ago, soon I'll have to "seal" the paint. I've read the best way is to use gloss varnish and matt varnish (for dull effect) after. Is it better to paint the gloss varnish or spray is ok?
Spray gloss varnish is fine if you aren't using polyshades which has built in varnish in it so you can skip this step. You have to be careful with spray matte finish though. I've found the hard way that some spray matte varnish creates a strange spider-web effect that I think has to do with high humidity. That's why I use Testor's Dullcote because it never does this.
+Gaminggeek cool ty... for now I already bought the army painter one... i'll try to be carefull with the matt varnish! now i need to find gloss somewhere hehe! ty again
Or again - Anybody who can make the walls, I would pay and love to use them in this fine game :) With regards Martin from Denmark :)
Martin Davidsen Actually, it shouldn't be too hard to make them yourself. Follow the link to the manufacturer of the mold in the video description. They got a lot of different molds. One costs 34 USD. Shipping to Europe is a bit expensive - another 34 USD for up to six molds though. All in all, it should be cheaper than having somebody make them (and most probably send them to you from the US anyways)...
Then just get some two-component resin...
Do you paint minis for other people? You do some awesome work and I'd be interested in having you paint some minis for me. I have no artistic skill whatsoever lol I tried painting Imperial Assault but I gave up quickly.
Yeah, others have asked me that before but it just isn't worth it to me to paint for cash since I always have a boatload of my own I want to paint! But there are services from professional painters all over the internet.
+Gaminggeek thanks for your reply. As I'm new to this, is there anyone in particular you could refer me to? I am in the US. Thanks in advance for your help
what size brush are you using for the detail work?
I'm interested in those walls! can you make sets for people to buy??? :)
Stupid question but I just bought the german version of Zombicide Black Plague:
I'm assuming you have the expansion cause I only have other zombies.
But now my problem: my minis are so small. It is not even easy to get the color on only the arms of the zombies. Did they change the mini size?
I would be surprised if they changed the mini size--I measured the runner zombie without the shirt and he is exactly 33mm tall from the bottom of the base to the top of his head. Is yours the same size?
@@gaminggeek241 3.3cm with the circle on the feat lol. So guess they are so tiny. Just by trying to messure the size i Was afraid to break his hands lol. So skinny
@@oviii6085 Don't worry! I've dropped these minis many times and they don't break very easily.
where did you get the original walls you used to cast them? were they 3d printed?
Thank you for not adding background music.
Ha ha! Yeah, I'm learning from my previous videos not to do that!
Would the doors in Mold #88 work as well for the space?
I just discovered this game and am thinking just to get it to play as my kids are too young yet but playing 1p could still be fun eh?
Yes, playing single player can work, although you are managing six heroes by yourself. There are house rule variants where you play with four heroes and give them all an extra activation to start with.
because of the american accent, I kept thinking that you were calling the abomination obamanations.
made me chuckle.
good job though dude.
He was a horrible president
Yes^^^^
"Abominawolf Alpha" is actually a House Goritsi Specialist model, isn't it?
No, a 15 sec google search would prove you wrong. Its a sg not a proxy.
Que chuleo¡¡
Dear sirs :) Du you sell the wall parts for the game. it look så nice, i would like to try it out :) Martin From Denmark
where did you get these walls ??
If you skip to here ruclips.net/video/17KwLVNAhpA/видео.html, you will see that I made them from Hirst Arts molds. I made a master mold to be able to produce a lot of these at once.
@@gaminggeek241 you're awesome ! Thanks for your answer ! Sorry English is not my native language :(
@@camsimed No problem! If you have a 3D printer, there are a lot of options for walls. I printed walls for Zombicide Invader: ruclips.net/video/5YCLOFRExMA/видео.html
@@camsimed nor is listening.
snow fright ;)
I kicked this game at the knight level too, and I'm missing so many items T_T
I tried a bunch get from the hardware stores and they are not that great you get what you pay for Army painters Quik Shade is the best do not use the stuff from the hardware store especially if you're a newcomer to the Hobby the Quik Shade is better and you might mess up your Miniatures using anything else I bought mine back in 2017 is now 2023 and it is still working good getting ready to dip a bunch of zombies for a zombie sides I was late for the party
I've been using Polyshades since 1994. Still have some of those miniatures I applied the Polyshades to, and they look the same, today, as they did then. Polyshades comes in many more colors/shades, from light brown to black. Polyshades costs 1/2 of what the Army Painter products cost. Spend your money as you see fit, but there is no issue in using Polyshades: I've painted Polyshades on 1,000+ miniatures (15mm - 75mm tall), and still counting. No problems other than what I created myself, not the product's fault, ever. Cheers!
Spends over a hundred for the kickstarter, but $40 for a long-lasting shade isn't economical.
Lol Obama Wolves
Fast, but nice? I don't think so...
