Penny's commentary makes this video 100% better. I love her opinions and observations, she cracks me up. The two of you should do more narration together in future tutorials. It is a different approach then all the other mini painting vids out there. Just my thoughts :)
The accent is so entertaining and her attitude towards things she finds ugly and foolish is really entertaining, I don't know any other channel that has that mix.
This double act works well. Loving the series, it is giving me some great inspiration for my set. I specifically like the two level aspect that gives you a quick guide PLUS the added detail. Congrats.
These look awesome. The Count flesh colour worked for me. Nice to have Penny providing some of the voice over. Looking forward to the next video. Keep up the good work.
These models were brutal to paint assembled, half way through I ripped them apart so I could get into all the gaps my OCD was pinging. Great video thank you.
Hah! She's fantastic as your narrator, use the lass some more! Really enjoying this series, planning on having my son watch them as he has this set and is just starting out in miniature gaming.
Oh awesome! I remember getting the 2nd edition starter set and being totally overwhelmed with the idea of painting them. I wish RUclips existed 25 years ago!
@@MidwinterMinis I actuually painted a batch of the monopose gretchin for the bloodaxe army I'm building up step by step. 50 of them. It only took me about.....let's not talk about it :P But I'll actually plan to play them with guard rules once they're done because.....well. Bloodaxe. And nothing newer than 2nd edition. I love the rogue trader and 2nd edi orks, when they were more than just brute green gorillas. They had so much personality :)
For the guardsmen I suggest painting 8 of them in one scheme and the rest in one or two different. In the game the max encounter is 8 so you can put these in one side And mix up the rest. Also it would be good to see a couple of different schemes
@@MidwinterMinis That would be cool! For those of us trying to prepare for the next vid. Can you tell us what color to basecoat the traitors? Is it going to be grey or black? Thanks again for making these cool videos.
Been working my way through your older videos while working from home (between day job stuff, obvs) and in videos previous to this, Penny's comments with her dirty mind are quite missed. I'm glad you got her to help you out on this one and it continued going forward. Thanks for helping keep me sane while I stare at spreadsheets all day!
The dynamic having two speakers was fun to watch. I'll probably match my colors to this speed painting tutorial for these guys when they are ready to be painted.
Really enjoying your videos. Quick and easy. Always well explained. I like both your voices and look forward to hear more from you in the future. Also these little tricks(toothpaste) are awesome. Please include such things in your future videos. :)
Another great episode, I enjoyed the casualness (is this a word?) of the narration. I finally started on my box yesterday, finished the Ur-ghuls using your methods and a tiny bit of my own and it took me only one night for 4 (would have been 4 days for 4 in my usual method haha). Anyway, keep it up, get well soon and bring along Penny more often, would be great. P.S. music still awesome, reminds me of old EVE Online.
Great tutorial and what a fun narration collaboration! Thanks for sharing and drink some high strength ale to fight the Nurgle's Rot and hope you feel better!
Really interesting videos so far, very down to earth and an attainable level of quality for how most people in this hobby are, in my experience, compared to a lot of other painting 'tutorials' on youtube.
@@MidwinterMinis Then get back to work! Also, I tried your Black Legion tutorial with metallics to make dark colored Iron Warriors. It saves me a lot of time!
Great idea. She has a great voice for videos. Sharing the voice over would be a good combo for the future. I do agree on the tricky ness of these models. I feel if the arms are left off it would be much easier.
Yeah totally, I really wanted to leave bits off to do sub-assemblies, but then I thought people will probably have assembled the models to play the game first, so I decided to do it the "challenging" way ;)
Cute dynamic in this video! I think the increased purple on their flesh works well. These (wiggly) boys are supposed to be coursing with heretical (and barely contained) energy, so it makes sense for their skin to look both bruised and almost glowing. There are a fair few cultists in this set; I'm excited to see how you'll differentiate the mono-posed models
Keeping things within the scope of a speedpaint may reduce your options a little. Two schemes would make sense; like they have deserted (or been left little other choice) from different regiments/ war zones. Freed from the yoke of imperial oppression would give the traitors more opportunity to try to draw further attention to themselves in the hope of gaining more favor. Maybe some of these lads are expressing their “freedom” by taking liberties in terms of the upkeep of their gear... Green-stuff chainmail is a relatively quick process, as would cutting limbs to re-position them where possible (though risky). My fallback for mono-posed minis usually is to deep-dive in my bitz box, or to add distinctive details to the base. I’ve used finely chopped angle-hair pasta painted bronze/gold in the past for shell casings for example.
Mon the wiggly bois! I think the purple look on the skin was pretty awesome, you didnt mess anything up. And i will have to try that toothpaste trick, have at least three brushes all gummed like that. Great job folks
If they've been gummed up for a while, let the toothpaste sit in the bristles for about an hour before cleaning it out. I'm not sure why it works, but it does! :)
Outstanding cheers. I just tried running it through and it cleaned some but not all. Will try leaving it sitting for a while. Thanks again for the tip, appreciated.
Idk if subassemblies would have helped, but was really hard to not make mistakes trying to hit hard to reach areas. Great to have Penny in on this video!
Great vids guys only just found your channel, was looking forward a binge but instantly subbed at Euthymol, (awesome tip TY).....another way to annoy the misses with my miss use of house hold item's for hobbying :P keep up the great work guys x x
Penny sounded awesome. I like how you approach mixing your own washes, but can't recommend flow improver enough. Try some liquitex flow aid and your paints will behave and smoothly cover better. Going to try the toothpaste on my brushes right away
Hi Matthew! Thanks for the kind words. Yeah, I love using flow improver, but this series is aimed at beginners, and I've used a very limited, basic selection of materials and paints.
I'm way way late to the party here, but I just want to say, I dig the lilac-skin cultists. It makes them seem like they're teeming with the accursed energies of the immaterium ;) Since you should always look back on your older work to reflect, I definitely think this one was a win.
Best one yet! Penny did great! I can't wait for the traitor guardsmen. I did my CSMs like yours and I'm very happy with how they turned out! #wigglybois
@@MidwinterMinis Fella, I've been married for almost twenty years. Penny sounds just like my wife would if she was narrating a video of mine! Good job, both of you. Keep the videos coming.
i like how penny keeps sounding like she is not really enjoying the voiceover and is just following with what guy told her to say, with "apparently" or "says guy" afterwards
Good job to both of you. Thanks for an enjoyable video. I would have gone for a more traditional pale white (Deepkin flesh or pallid witch flesh) for the skin color. But again thanks for sharing.
I highly encourage you to keep doing the commentation with your woman half! Defenetly makes more enjoyable watching the toturials and fun! I also subed caus of this!
Very good video ! actually I pretty much like that purple-ish skin tone. And also, big thanks to penny ! If it weren't for you we would have had to wait for Guy to cure ! Also, a question: is penny into the hobby ? It would be funny to have both of you paint something together, or have her aint something with your aid.
Thanks! She used to play occasionally, and paints very very well. She had a lovely little Tau army, all pin-washed and bright yellow. I've mentioned the idea that she should paint something and I'll just film it, so we'll wait and see...
I was (beginner) thinking, since the white drybrushing highlighted the raised areas of the clothes, wouldn't it make sense to overpaint those raised areas with the red/yellow paint? Like the drybrushed areas are just a placeholder/indicator where to put a lighter layer?
Looks good to me, like the blue power look , will painting it with say gw’s hardcoat help with the effect or will it end up looking like fluorescent lights?
It's just a laser-cut MDF blank base from eBay, I haven't used it for anything yet, and it's a great drybrush surface while it awaits its destiny (probably underneath an Ork Mek Gun!)
These guys look cool I hope Dark Mechanicus gets a proper faction at some point I was thinking of getting some extra tiles from eBay and gluing them to the base do you think that would work?
Yet another great video! I don't own Blackstone fortress, but these are still enjoyable to watch and are helpful for mini painting in general, so keep up the good work. Oh, and Penny did an awesome job with the voice over, you should definitely bring her back for more videos in the future. As a side note, saw a comment saying you had a bandcamp, other than the background here, what kind of music do you normally make? (And can I get a link to it?)
After a mate sent me 'rabbit of caerbannog' I subscribed and watched oldest - thus far. Now I know the 1st recording of Penny. You two are indeed a funny pair. How did you meet?
Younger, more innocent me: "Oh come on, they can't be that bad!" Grizzled veteran me: "Yeah, I've seen some shit, but it was nothing compared to painting #wigglybois" What I'm trying to say, is that these models are an effort in frustration. Everything appears to be made in such a ways, that you can't help but smear paint all over everything.
I’m right that “Penny ,” isn’t actually a fully committed (aka in both senses/ committed to the hobby and committed to the asylum). It seems like it might be a good idea having someone with this sort of detachment from the hobby contributing to your tutorial videos. It opens it up a bit more for people who are new to the hobby or distant and not entirely engaged with the whole miniature war gaming thingy. Having an outsiders voice on. camera 🎥 or at least passing comment gives it more accessibility to non hobbyists who might fancy a go at painting. Thanks 🙏 Penny and thanks Guy! ✊
Exactly! You've hit the nail on the head. She's definitely not involved in the hobby as a player or painter, but she knows quite a lot about it, and also helps me out in the background because I'm colourblind ;)
I agree with Penny. Negavolt Cultists sounds really stupid. I also have another tip: Since you seem to like making your own washes, I would suggest getting some cheap oil paints and some white spirits. I ordered a whole set from amazon for like 12€. You simply thin the oil paint with the white spirit. However, in contrast to an acrylic based wash it has less "grip" on the surface, thus it won't pool so much in the recesses. And as a bonus you can easily remove or manipulate the oil paint by applying white spirits (which doesn't effect the acrylic paint!).
A great tip! I'm definitely going to do a little video on oil washes soon, but this series is focused on using a very limited paint and material selection :)

100% this! Always loved your vids but this is next level ;)
"Three cultists, AH AH AAAAAH!"
Dead... I'm freaking dead! XD
Haha, honestly, I think this is the highlight of the channel for me ;)
THIS WAS VIDEO GOLD! SHE NEEDS TO NARATE ALL YOUR VIDEOS WITH YOU.
Haha, thanks! I'll suggest it to her :)
The accent is so entertaining and her attitude towards things she finds ugly and foolish is really entertaining, I don't know any other channel that has that mix.
"We are going to call them 'wiggly boys'..." that killed me. Another great video!
... and the legend was born ;)
#wigglybois Penny did great! Great tutorial. :)
Thank you!
This double act works well. Loving the series, it is giving me some great inspiration for my set. I specifically like the two level aspect that gives you a quick guide PLUS the added detail. Congrats.
Thanks Ryan! Yeah, it's not "giving up early" if someone on RUclips said it was okay, right? Haha.
These look awesome. The Count flesh colour worked for me. Nice to have Penny providing some of the voice over. Looking forward to the next video. Keep up the good work.
Best video in the series so far. Penny's off-script comments are fantastic.
"use toothpaste, you hopefully have some!" .... *starts sweating*
These models were brutal to paint assembled, half way through I ripped them apart so I could get into all the gaps my OCD was pinging. Great video thank you.
Hah! She's fantastic as your narrator, use the lass some more! Really enjoying this series, planning on having my son watch them as he has this set and is just starting out in miniature gaming.
Oh awesome! I remember getting the 2nd edition starter set and being totally overwhelmed with the idea of painting them. I wish RUclips existed 25 years ago!
I see what you did there. He'll never have money for drugs when wast..... spending it on plastic crack!
@@MidwinterMinis I actuually painted a batch of the monopose gretchin for the bloodaxe army I'm building up step by step. 50 of them. It only took me about.....let's not talk about it :P
But I'll actually plan to play them with guard rules once they're done because.....well. Bloodaxe. And nothing newer than 2nd edition. I love the rogue trader and 2nd edi orks, when they were more than just brute green gorillas. They had so much personality :)
@@asz3337 "i learned it by warching YOU Dad!!!"
@@asz3337 YES! I love my Orks. I also have a drawer full of 50 2nd edition Gretchin. I smell a speed painting video coming on...

Glad you're finding it useful! :)
I will now expect Penny to provide new names for all the models being painted. Well done Penny.
#wigglybois4ever
UR-0-so-cute...
Great tutorial. This has heavily inspired the scheme I'm going to go for with my Negavolt Cultists. Thanks Guy!
Penny’s debut video! A legendary RUclips partnership is born and MWM finds its niche :)
Been working my way through your older videos while working from home (between day job stuff, obvs) and in videos previous to this, Penny's comments with her dirty mind are quite missed. I'm glad you got her to help you out on this one and it continued going forward.
Thanks for helping keep me sane while I stare at spreadsheets all day!
Your missus is cool mate and your videos are even cooler. Thank you
Hah, cheers Daniel, I personally think she's cooler than my videos ;)
“They don’t like Marmite:” great 👍 explanation for the treachery of traitor Guardsmen!! 😒😕😄✊
Call the Commissar! We've got some heretics to deal with.
... Is Marmite ye olden name for corpse starch?
The dynamic having two speakers was fun to watch. I'll probably match my colors to this speed painting tutorial for these guys when they are ready to be painted.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it :)
Really enjoying your videos. Quick and easy. Always well explained.
I like both your voices and look forward to hear more from you in the future.

Music is pretty sweet i agree, though that one beepy bit sounds exactly like my phones alarm and it's really confusing.
The music, Penny, and the tutorial...all awesome. Think you are going to have to pay her and have her with you full time.
Payment in hugs.
Yeah Penny! What a delight you are, your a luck man Guy.
Penny’s accent is mad man! Some times double Scottish sometimes posh! Left me proper baffled
Thanks for entertaining voice over Penny
She's pretty great!
Quality speed painting and commentary!! 😀 Thanks for posting, really enjoying the series.
Thanks Justin! Glad you enjoyed it :)

Really interesting videos so far, very down to earth and an attainable level of quality for how most people in this hobby are, in my experience, compared to a lot of other painting 'tutorials' on youtube.
Thanks! Yeah, we like to keep things simple, fast, and effective. It helps that I'm also really, really lazy.
I just want to let you know, this is absolutely fantastic. The narration is amazing.
Hah, thank you! It took a while to edit though, so many little in-jokes and giggling.
@@MidwinterMinis the banter that remained was nice.
Love how happy penny and guy seem to be together. It’s hard to find that someone
Penny should do all the narration for your videos! I love her snarky comments :-)
About 90% of what she says is snarky, so you won't be disappointed, hahaa
Informative yet hilarious, in equal parts. Thanks!
Haha, that's the aim! :)
Loving the series, its really inspiring me to finish all of my models
Thank you! Glad you're enjoying the series :)
Loving this series and the two of you make a great duo
Thanks Phil! :)
Excellent videos, can't wait to see how do you do the traitor guards!
Me too!

Haha, thanks! We're thinking about it :)
Great tips as usual. Thanks for the video and get well.
Thanks Sadeq!
Penny really nails the Lauren Laverne style narration.
Those are some tip top little electro-nerds.

Thank you Ceiling Face! I'm toying with the idea of showing 2 different schemes for the Traitor Guard. Thoughts?
I liked the dynamic between you and Penny too, it wasn't intrusive but added some additional entertainment to another very informative video.
Thanks! Yeah, I had to edit out so many in-jokes and us laughing at stuff, haha.

Make a dark wash with marmite......
Seriously good video. I think you are doing a great job, even I can follow the steps. Thanks !
No pooling, perfect tone, and deliciously salty. It could be the perfect hobby snack.
Brilliant! Your groan at the end 😁
So many groans.
Great vids guys only just found your channel, was looking forward a binge but instantly subbed at Euthymol,
(awesome tip TY).....another way to annoy the misses with my miss use of house hold item's for hobbying :P keep up the great work guys x x
Haha, enjoy your binge, mate! I've got 3 hours of content up now, that's crazy! I'm just getting started ;)
Awesome, Penny! Feel free to join in anytime! Great collaboration! Lots of exclamation marks here, for some reason!
Yes! We bloody love exclamation marks!
Brilliant, vid was lots of fun.
Thanks for watching! :)
Penny sounded awesome. I like how you approach mixing your own washes, but can't recommend flow improver enough. Try some liquitex flow aid and your paints will behave and smoothly cover better.
Going to try the toothpaste on my brushes right away
Hi Matthew! Thanks for the kind words. Yeah, I love using flow improver, but this series is aimed at beginners, and I've used a very limited, basic selection of materials and paints.
Thank you so much for the toothpaste tip!
Strange how it works, but it does! :)
Great video and narration, definitely sets your video apart from other painting tutorials (that’s a good thing!) also liked the purple skin tone.
Thanks John! Glad SOMEONE likes the purple skin, haha
I'm way way late to the party here, but I just want to say, I dig the lilac-skin cultists. It makes them seem like they're teeming with the accursed energies of the immaterium ;)
Since you should always look back on your older work to reflect, I definitely think this one was a win.
Loved the tooth paste tip!
It's an awesome Tutorial ^^ Very funny !
Continue the good work both of you :)
Haha, thanks Loïc!
The music reminds me of the OST of recent Shadowrun PC games. Good stuff.
Thanks mate! I've not played them, but I'll check out the soundtracks :)
Best one yet! Penny did great! I can't wait for the traitor guardsmen. I did my CSMs like yours and I'm very happy with how they turned out! #wigglybois
Awesome! Glad to hear it worked for you :)
The birth of an icon.
Continuing our groups stronghold run tomorrow and I’m very excited to call the negavolt cultists #wigglybois.
Yeeessss, make it so!
Priceless
Haha, thanks!
I might buy a couple of those guys and use them as fulgurite Electro-priests. Good video btw :)
Great idea!

In the works!
I lost it at #wigglybois. That was just too perfect!

I subscribed thanks to your other half (and also for the painting part...).
I'm not fussy, just smash that sub button, haha ;)
I was (beginner) thinking, since the white drybrushing highlighted the raised areas of the clothes, wouldn't it make sense to overpaint those raised areas with the red/yellow paint? Like the drybrushed areas are just a placeholder/indicator where to put a lighter layer?
Well done Guy and Penny wigglybois
Yasss, I'm glad this is catching on.
Looks good to me, like the blue power look , will painting it with say gw’s hardcoat help with the effect or will it end up looking like fluorescent lights?
You could definitely give it a try! I'm sure it would look great
"did you ruin it?"
"I'm sorry"
What is the absorbent surface you use to prep your brush for dry brushing?
It's just a laser-cut MDF blank base from eBay, I haven't used it for anything yet, and it's a great drybrush surface while it awaits its destiny (probably underneath an Ork Mek Gun!)
Penny’s first appearance!!
Wonderful as always :-)
Woo! Thanks :D
These guys look cool I hope Dark Mechanicus gets a proper faction at some point I was thinking of getting some extra tiles from eBay and gluing them to the base do you think that would work?
Yeah, if you cut them down to size that would be a really fast, cheaty way of doing it!

Woo! Glad to have you on board :) Thanks for getting involved
I love the purple skin
I think I'm gonna be calling them wiggly boys from now on
I mean, Negavolt Cultists has 5 syllables, whereas wigglybois only has 3, maybe 4 if you really enjoy saying it. So much more efficient!
Younger, more innocent me: "Oh come on, they can't be that bad!"
Grizzled veteran me: "Yeah, I've seen some shit, but it was nothing compared to painting #wigglybois"
What I'm trying to say, is that these models are an effort in frustration. Everything appears to be made in such a ways, that you can't help but smear paint all over everything.
Exactly! Honestly, I think they are the most frustrating thing I've painted in all 2 decades of hobbying.
This makes me want a chaos admech army
Some may argue that Ad-Mech are already Chaos...
@@MidwinterMinis I very never heard if that before, interesting.
Why not dry brush with the lighter orange rather than white on the cloth so you don’t have to highlight with it later?
Haha. This was great!! #wigglybois
Penny's going to feel a deep sense of satisfaction when people start calling them #wigglybois in battle reports.
I’m right that “Penny ,” isn’t actually a fully committed (aka in both senses/ committed to the hobby and committed to the asylum).

And as a bonus you can easily remove or manipulate the oil paint by applying white spirits (which doesn't effect the acrylic paint!).
A great tip! I'm definitely going to do a little video on oil washes soon, but this series is focused on using a very limited paint and material selection :)
