As someone who's basically brand new to the hobby I feel like my skills have developed faster than I could have imagined from the beginning to the end of my first box, start collecting: Chaos Space marines set.
Whoa. I bet you gained more brush control then a lot of new painters by working out all that armor trim. Those are some challenging models.
I am halfway through my Star Wars Legion starter set and very much feel the same way
Yo mate i also started from that one set cuz models looks really cool even if they have a LOT of small details in the armor. Painting that one set made me already better too.
Painting my 2nd model at the moment and it's already looking WAY better than my 1st (both regular assault intercessors).
@@Matthew-cp2kgmy first one looks ok but I haven’t painted my second but this inspired me to work harder thank you
Jay; it must be said that EonsOfBattle has become a firm favourite of mine during recent times; Please keep up the good work and thanks for early vid :D
I don't even play wargames, not paint minis, yet, when he does his thing, I can't help but feel so much joy and passion that he inspires
This is so valuable painting horde armies. I play Guard (which isn't even the biggest horde in the game) and it was such a relief when I gave myself permission to just get paint on all the troops. Basically as long as they're OD green with a few dashes of metal and black for accent they're more or less done. Honestly you don't even notice on the table top.
that's awsome!
As someone whose necron army is just a silver prime, black wash and silver dry brush, that Necron speaks to me. For me, Necrons are their primary color, maybe a secondary color and the glow effects on their weapons. What can really make them amazing is going for an overgrown or buried look to hide how "little" paint is on the model.
My buddy described them to me as "an opportunity to do more with less" when I was trying to work out a scheme for mine.
He couldn't have been more right and I learned a ton from those specifically
I love the idea of drybrushing an ork to get this subtle brown tone everywhere, great work
The Imperial Fist was very good. Especially since yellow is such a pain to do well. Your "shortcuts" are very reasonable, and certainly alleviate roadblocks for a beginner.
I gotta paint orange for my Yme-Loc Eldar. Orange is a pain in the ass as well.
Something that helped me as a new painter was to wash a mini after priming it, so that way I was able to appreciate more beginner forms of shading and highlighting, and then add the paint.
What if i only prime in black?
@@AOTLTng better to prime with grey in most cases, or black and white for zenithal.
A light, all over drybrushing will achieve an alternative solution for black primed minis with the approach mentioned above
I have recently entered this hobby and picked up the command edition box. I’m just gonna paint each model as seems right to me in the moment. I definitely have felt myself improving over the 3 models I have painted so far. So I’m just gonna see where I end up when I finish all my models.
Glad I was still up painting 😂
I think it's great you show the submissions at the end, it really feels like a community motivating each other. Those are some sweet bases!
While I love the ultra detailed models we're spoiled with in recent years, that extra detail can be fiddly and drag painting time way down if you're trying to do all of it.
I've been painting a lot of Very Old GW stuff and 3d prints from OPR and they're like a breath of fresh air. Detailed enough, but not extreme. Makes it so much easier to pick out the things I super want to highlight without worrying about the tons of detail I'd feel bad leaving out.
Old models were made to be painted, newer models were made to look nice on the box.
@@ml6158 Absolutely.
Agreed, I bought the Underworlds Ogre warband awhile back and the ogre has honestly put me off the entire Age of Sigmar franchise. Just so many unnecessary pouches, totems and talismans that do absolutely nothing to improve the model. I've heard the reason GW over-designs everything nowadays is to make it harder to replicate for recasters.
I really didn’t like your videos at first. RUclips just kept throwing them into my feed. And finally I gave in and really watched some videos of yours. And you’ve grown on me hugely. You’ve made points that opened my eyes and allowed me to loosen up in the hobby and not worry about how good I was and it actually made me better exponentially. By kicking back and focusing on enjoying it and experimenting I’ve enjoyed this hobby so much more than when I tried doing super realistic paint jobs fast to get an army on the table. Thank you for the inspiration
Jay, you have inadvertantly given me my first birthday gift! Thank you!
I love the ork! I have found, especially for units with lots of models or your basic grunts, I love doing a paint job that utilizes mainly drybrushing. Personally, I really enjoy the sort of messy highlighting it provides while still putting the highlights in all the right places
Thank you for explaining why I’ve been so blocked and unable to proceed with painting. I just haven’t been motivated lately, and I understand it’s because I’m trying to fully paint Tzangors who are just mere chaff in my Thousand Sons army. Short cuts here I come.
epic showmanship for Epic Bases and it seems you had a ton of fun making some very evocative scenes, I gotta +1 the space marine jungle.
One of the best hobby videos in a long time. Very well formulated and demoed, how “good enough” can be very effective and more than appropriate for gaming purposes.
I been painting for only a year and comparing my latest to first mini makes me feel so proud at where I've come
Ultimately the painter is who has to be happy with the work. Even just a base coat is better than bare plastic.
I kinda feel that the older metal models can be some of the best to practice with. They're often cheap and are easy to strip paint from and keep trying different things.
I Loved this Video! So Helpful. I am trying to learn how to be more efficient cos I'm super guilty of tunnel vision & glazing for hours lol
I recently got into painting minis a couple months ago. Basing is by far my favorite step! It just makes the model feel complete
I think you need to be crowned the official king of basing! Great paint jobs too - I hope I can get to that level on my longer paint jobs!
Those bases are ...epic. But seriously great job demonstrating you can get results without too much fuss. I've been wanting to do some jungle bases so definitely gonna get me some of those STLs from epic basing
Jay, the positivity from your videos is so inspiring. It really helps that the information is top quality too. I'm completely new to miniatures but I've binged so many of your videos to get ready for my when I get my first set at Christmas!
My hobby time is limited, so I really only push myself on centerpiece models. I still feel like my Abaddon that I did early this year was my best and he probably took me about 12 hours or so. Regular troops and such get much less time. Additionally, my first army (Black Legion) has a *LOT* of trim and spikes and bits. Probably close to Genestealer Cults as far as little bits to paint and I do try to give everything at least a neat basecoat and wash while keeping the highlights reasonable. So I chose a much, much easier army to paint as my second army- Necrons. Silver and copper looks good and is really quick and easy and I get to spend most of my time on the models doing the green glowy effect and practicing my blending on blades. Finishing 20 Necron Warriors in the same amount of time as it takes to paint 5 Chaos Space Marines is refreshing and to be honest, the army looks just as good despite taking less effort and time.
You made even simple paint jobs amazing 😀
I try to keep it simple but I think I suffer from comparing my work to everyone one else's too much. It always seem that no matter what I do, it's always fifty best...if that
"It's not that important to get good"
This, 100%. Don't strive for perfection unless that's your goal. If you just want a painted army (or several if you're like me and 90% of the other hobbyist out there) then sometimes you just have to be ok with your models not being utterly spotless or flawless.
unless you play emperors children. then you should strive for perfection
Thank you so much, i needed a pro to say that because for the past 3 days ive left my death guard captain with just his green basecoat because i was bummed out about not being able to get under the cape with brushes, and its not like i could rip the cape off
Ordered some sick basing material immediately after watching. I've been looking for cacti for a long time!
I needed that video. I remember my first burnout and frustration when I was trying to get perfect details on my orc boyz, those straps killed me and spending 2 hours on one orc, without going 'fancy' with edge higlighting etc.
Great one Jay
You are quickly becoming one of my favorites. Thanks for the vids!
As someone who is completely new the hobby and just base coated the first unit. I thank you for the using water to draw paint into recesses tip. Also, I glued my miniatures to the bases before adding cool stuff to the base; oh well. Thanks for the cool channel! I will certianly be subbing here!
Thanks for the tips Jay! Thanks to this video I just received my first batch of basing materials and quickly ordered some more - they are awesome! They are really going to spruce up my army!
I had a contrast scheme planned for some of my ork stuff but I might just rip this off a little. I really like how that boy turned out
Great video. Unlike most people I love base coating as that’s when you get to plan the mode and also see the biggest impact. Plus smooth base coats make me happy. I really struggle with the final 10%. Maybe I could highlight a few less things. Defiantly some great points in this video.
No plans for those minis... Kill Team, Kill Team, Kill Team.
And I agree, there's nothing wrong with being efficient when just painting dudes (or dudettes) for the tabletop. If it looks good at arms length, that's usually good enough 99% of the time.
I have this problem a lot, i focus too much on the little details and don't enjoy the painting process. Thank you for this video great tips!
This painting method is very similar to my own. I've started relying heavily on the contrast browns for belts, pouches, and holsters because I just can't be bothered to go through the full basecoat, highlight, wash routine for such small components.
Also, love the sponsor, epic bases was just what I've been looking for. I've got too many little ones running around right now to start messing with resin but I've really wanted to take advantage of the medium for basing. Hopefully they'll come out with even more cool bits, I'd love to see some small critters like bugs and snakes.
Man, there’s a ton of value in this vid. Great stuff as always.
VMS make a 2 in 1 decal set and soften solution to really get those waterslide decals smooth and flat to pretty much any surface, avoiding any creases!
Hey Jay I put off painting my first models for around 6 months because of the thin your paints video haha. The Necrons couldn't have been easier. Now I need to figure out how to paint my guardsmen, then my SM.
"Orks are just normal persons but green" - words to live by
Amazing video. Literally the first 40 seconds is all everyone needs to hear. Unfortunately that wouldn’t get too many views but it is the truth!
Originally I thought the painting was gonna be hard when actually it’s the most fun I’ve had with this hobby
I’d love to see how you paint your stormtroopers!
I have watched countless videos or article about how to paint perfectly, but few were mentioned about how to enjoy the process. I really appreciate this video, give me new insight on how to paint my second army.
There's a lot to be said for understanding time over result. And you're displaying it perfectly here. Like you said "The model is only done when YOU decide it's done" Finding a decent pace that completes your models to a standard you are happy with gives you a real sense of freedom. I think a lot of new and experienced painters fall into the hole of "more time and more techniques equals being a better painter" And that's just not true when facing an army project.
The thing I love most about this channel, you don't seem 5o be a freaking snob about your subs. You are the guy yiu meet in a store an think what an awesome guy. Hope to see him soon. Please stay the way you are.
4:50 I love those transitions
Talking about the number of details on an Ork.
AdMech: *sighing in Omnissiah*
Man I love your perspective on this hobby. This was a great video
Great content, love the idea of how to make to the fun part of painting quickly. Ohh also BAM, that transition to the patreaon add gets me every time.. Your content brings me in, and I stay around for those transitions.
Thank you for the motivation Jay. I really needed it.
Jay I’m loving your videos, seeing when you have uploaded is a genuine highlight of my day! I’ve been putting off starting orcs because I can’t find a skin colour I like until I saw this video! Please share the magic of what colours you used!
Great video Jay! I'm doing some of the Beast Snagga Boyz and I'm definitely caught up in the details - so much so that I've been putting off finishing them because I feel I need to keep up the standard I've set this far.
Love the MG ork. 😃 One thing I like to do with orks is to give the impression of lots of different types of metal in their gear, gold and silver metallics give you "bronze" and steel. Add a tiny dab of blue (or whatever!) to your metallic silver and you get all kinds of metals, really drives home the "hammered together from scrap" feel. Also, did you see that pack of orks comes with a "pile of spent shell casings" to stick on a base? I fused it with that Rambo MG dude - he looks like he's getting through his rounds!
Hey jay! I was wondering if you could paint some tyranids, not really fussed with what model, preferably hormogaunts! I’m struggling at the moment to come up with a colour scheme. I think the way you explain things is easy for me to understand and would really appreciate it.
Been a while since a video got me this psyched to paint! Great job!
Some great tips and the models look amazing, will certainly be checking out those basing STLs as a great base can lift a mini from ok to great.
Good point about efficiency, it just depends what the purpose is and what you enjoy in painting. For a special gift miniature going all out on everything makes sense. For stormtrooper number 32, minimizing the unimportant is a yes for me.
Time seems to be the biggest constraint in hobbying, this is my off season for work and just alone this week I was able to paint and base 4 thunderbolts for AI
Honestly, one of the things i have said a lot, and that i've been telling to my teenage nephew who is just getting into model painting is this "If you can hold a pencil, you can paint a miniature". It takes time and practice, sure, no lie there. But that is true with anything. You can still get decent results when you are just starting out, but mini painting isn't as scary and intimidating as a lot of people I have met seem to think it is. It's fun, oddly relaxing and soothing, and honestly easy to get started with it.
5:30 While I prefer rustoleum for most things, it's an oil-based enamel paint while krylon is solvent-based acrylic. Since most people seem to paint models with acrylic paints, krylon can give great results and dries quicker too!
Jay thankyou for the advice when it comes to edge highlights I have a difficult time with heavy metal.
You may want to start to look at decal seter and softener, to have easier time with decals (micro sol & micro set combo costs about $10 and will last you next to a forever) . Also it is good practice to trim excess (transparent) foil from decals. Especially on minis it will help with contouring also will remove shiny and relatively thick foil form surface
It hard for me to paint cause I have a shaky left arm because of a surgery I had when I was 14 so I do make mistakes alot but after a year of painting about 60+ guardsmen and 5 scions and 15 space marines 1 commisar and a tank. I can say I have gotten better from trial and error no painting tutorials needed just practice they may not have every single thing like washes or edge highlights they still look good and im happy with them. Also your channel has become one of my favorite to follow.
Man its crazy to think a few years ago your channel was my go to for basing ideas, now its just straight up my typical watch and paint content
I see Jay's two-year backlog is beginning to haunt him.
As a beginner I was starting to seriously struggle with roadblocks and this video seriously inspired me
recent subscriber but love your videos, energy and general outlook, keep up the good work.
omg thank you so much for the rust-oleum rattle can base coat tip ....just base coated 50 tau units in under an hour
“Doesn’t feel done” but is pretty good looking to me. I think he is a good artist
a paint tutorial for the proxy/deathguard you made will be nice ;) great colour choose :)
Too bad I cannot leave two thumbs up for you. One for the painting tips and one for the basing tips. Thank you for sharing. All three of your miniatures look great!
happy with your work Dude there are those that want to Improve There are those guys out there It Makes us More happier if the Model we painted Last year is Last year How you paint right now is the important part
Love the Space Marine the most, great tips on what not to do.
Somehow it's taken me like 5 years of failing to paint minis to the point that I've only ever finished two, to suddenly realize it's stupid easy like last week and crank out a whole ork army
You joke about the chocolate orcs but it's possible. I make little chocolate marines on occasion for some of the nerd brethren. I just use food-safe mold material like a recast, then "paint" in colored chocolate for the appropriate bits. Do they look great? No. But they are super fun, and you can fill the bigger ones with caramel.
This is a great video and great attitude to painting :)
I love minis which aren't festooned with pouches because they paint so much faster. One trick - even on armies which are supposed to look irregular and non-uniform - if you paint ALL the pouches and straps and lacing and kneepads and everything the same colour it will have next to 0 impact on your impression of the army. It'll look motley if the main items - shirts and pants - are motley.
I was painting some Hellboy minis following the comic colour schemes and it was so freeing that all of the stuff hanging from Hellboy's belt was the same colour. Holster, rosary, whatever. I am tempted to do this more often but also like picking up my minis and looking at their details so I don't.
Really enjoy the channel (even though I have not played GW anything since 3rd ed. dropped!).
Pro-tip (since before you were born🤪): Rustolem, Krylon, and other rattle-can primers that are not professional/artist grade from Winsor & Newton (and a few hobby makers) are generally too heavy for miniatures, hence using Krylon Ultra Flat Blat and Flat White spray paint instead if primer and have had zero issues since the early/mid 1970's.
Keep up the good work - you're a credit to the hobby!👍🎅👍
I have used that strategy for a while now :) happy with it :)
I have the opposite opinion of rattle cans, but great video. That has always been my struggle, what to paint and what to skip.
Some of my favourite models I've painted are my eldar. I'll be honest, I copied the paint scheme from another youtuber. But this scheme seems to be similar. No need to bother with every little detail. And you're right. You don't notice, nor care if a few little straps aren't painted. The model overall just sticks out for its colours and it's base, not its details. Which lets face it, from a distance, on the battlefield, you don't see the details anyway
I love hearing you wax poetry about zen in hobbying.
Man, I've watched this video like 5 times. So many good tips and I can never remember them all.
The orc was totally my favorite!
15:49 Ackchyually its a Gauss Flayer. Immortals and Tomb Blades use Gauss Blaster and Twin Gauss Blaster.
The orc was my favourite, the gun looks awesome
0:29-0:36 thank you I needed to hear that
I like your law of diminishing returns. I agree. Paint what matters.
The Orc is amazing!
I am a beginner in 40k (the modells not the lore i love the Horus Heresy Books) i startet with 13 witch Lord of the Rings, no one played it ever witch me but i have a 3000 Points Isengard Army, i always felt i can not Paint well my modells where very boring because i dont know how to use washes right , i drybrushed everything and my brushes where to big so i detroyed much of my previous work with that.
I do not have a airbrush (and will not have bacause my neighbour under me whould call the police on the noise), or a dedicated Hobby Room. I do everything with a Brush and don´t had the luxury of airbrushing the base coats and stuff. With your tutorials i found more into 40k and started Grey Knights and i hope they will be well with some of your tipps.
👍 great video, thanks
This is something I notice about picking an army. When I see a model, then I think about a really efficient way to paint it, the more likely I am to get it. That sweet, sweet effort vs result ratio.
I was all in on the chocolate orcs.
Colour choice is a hard one for me too. I have a friend who is much better at making colour pallets than I am, so I usually run my colour choices by her whenever I go for a big project.
Kinda random question, but now that RUclips is doing this whole 2 ad thing are you getting paid more from ad revenue? Idk if that’s too personal or not. I’m just curious if you’re (or any RUclips creator) actually benefiting from the double ads.
I freaking love this channel….even though the intro music sounds like it was jacked from House Hunters on HGTV(please don’t change it!). So jelly of that #SuperSnazzy jungle base! 🏆
