Dude... this stuff is pretty much a scam. You can't legally own or transfer ownership of a square foot of land in scotland, nor does buying a bit of land grant you a title. An NFT is more real than this.
@@RayneOfSalt why is it a scam? you do actually get something for what you pay and while you wont be in the book of lords you do get a genuine lordship title.
I've seen so many of your videos recently. I gotta say, your presentation, succinct way of showing and explaining techniques and reasoning is nearly perfect. Thank you.
What this kinda ends up doing is setting up a 'mother colour' scenario with these paint jobs. Every model will have that colour (assuming somewhat transparent paints over top) basically throughout. Will give that army/warband/whatever a really great cohesive look. Would be great to see what this looks like taken to that next painting step.
Since you are officially a Lord now you need to roll up to the next Trapped Under Plastic with a fur lined purple robe, and a scepter. And require Miniac to refer to you as Lord Jon the entire podcast.
This has helped me get back into painting. I've always felt I hit a wall when it came to painting because my fundamentals were always bare bones (black under coat, basic coating, maybe highlights or inking). This expands my horizon for painting by hand or air brush!
I had a bunch of Rising Sun minis I've been neglecting for a while, this is a pretty great idea to get the team colours down without leaving them bare plastic.
0:04 This is how an "unboxing video" is supposed to look. Looooooooove me some oilwash and makeup spongy. Sometimes I feel like I'm "unpainting" as much as I paint. 😁👍
It is my humble opinion and experience that there is a distinct difference between Dry-Brushing and Over-Brushing and that the two work excellently in tandem. From my understanding what Ninjon is referring to here as Dry-Brushing is actually Over-Brushing. I love to start with Over-Brushing in the exact same manner showcased here and finish with Dry-Brushing for the more extreme highlights. IMO, the brush should be slightly damp for Over-Brushing and bone-dry for Dry-Brushing. Ninjon is a waaaaay better painter than me.
Great video. I know you have already said it has been well overdone, which is probably true, but I would love to see your take on AP’s speed paints on a quick build as well. Maybe a comparison vid would be cool as well.
For those of you, like me, who are looking for oil paints now that you've seen this and had to snap back to reality when you saw the cost of the series Ninjon is using: I would recommend the Winsor & Newton "Winton" series. They are marketed as the student version (decent quality but cheaper) and can be found in a starter set on amazon with 10 colors for ~$60USD.
The Winton starter set, which includes those earthy sepia and sienna tones, can be had in Europe from about €30/$30 (10x21 ml tubes) or in a more basic version (10x12ml) from about €18/$18. You can also buy a Chinese-made starter set from as little as €5/$5 - Marie’s seem to be one of the better brands.
Honestly, if you just replace the colored zenithal with a normal black-to-white one and added a base coat of contrast/speed/transparent paints between that step and the oil wash, you've pretty much got a reliable high-quality tabletop standard, pushing into hobbyist display standard depending on how much time you spend on the final highlights.
Firstly, you'll always be a Lady to me Jon. Secondly, a question if you will...I've recently thrown my airbrush out my garden shed window, this was due to not cleaning it properly for the millionth time thus it didn't work too good and brought both distress and anger upon Me, unfortunately it was still connected to the compressor therefor it literally arrived back in said garden shed window covering myself generously in paint...My boggle is, how can I stop this from happening in the future? Kind Regards, Lord anonymous guy on the Internet.
Brishles. But seriously, I really like this look. Gives the models a "game token" look that would really work for something like, say, Star Wars Legion, where there's a Red Unit of Rebels or Orange Unit of Storm Troopers. For a fast-paced game where the individual troops matter less than the units, this could really work. Leaves more time for terrain building too. Hmmm....
I would love to see you paint a LOTR SBG human model to see how you do the details on faces and some of the other small details. I struggle with doing detail on such a small surface. Could you do one?
I really enjoy this video and am going to use this technique to get through a bunch of my board games that I disparately need to get painted. Question however - Does anyone know what those paint handles/knobs he's using are? Or where to get them? They look like furniture knobs and I looked for them at 4 shops yesterday and came up empty handed :(
@Andrew McGuire Thanks a ton! I may just head to the hardware store and get some dowels. I can't bring myself to pay like $15 a handle for batch paint jobs. For detail work, I have a Redgrass handle and one of the GW handles, but for batch work? Not worth paying 18-25 bucks a pop for 10 of em. Appreciate the insight!
I'm going to try this on some long suffering models. Also, the Lord pack is 80% plus 10% off with the ninjon code. Bought one for a freind just for the lulz.
How is priming with an airbrush fast? 😂😂😂 there's this stuff you can get called spray paint ya know...I'm sure they have it in America. Highly recommend Halfords white in the uk 👍
Every time I watch you and talk about theses massive pIles of unpainted miniatures I feel like I am the weirdo. As I don't start a new project until I finish my current one. Atm I have 10 unpainted and unassembled miniatures. Now granted I do have a whole fungal forrest to paint but it just arrived today.
Yo these paint jobs look *amazing* these seriously pop and I really love how that bit of bright pink accents the purple and lavender on the ghoul. Keep up the amazing work, Jon :)
I did the Brutality KS a few years ago and while the models are awesome, i still had the exact same issues that i just couldnt get to painting them. Might have to experiment with this technique to get them done. They're pretty chunky models (Inquisitor scale iirc, so like what was it...75mm scale?) so the painting will go fast as long as i *bother*
Hi Ninjon. Hope you are okay? So glad you are painting Bardsung minis. I've got the kickstarter bundle and wasn't sure where to begin. Thanks for a brilliant tutorial. Very helpful and informative. Keep the good work coming. Thanks again, kind regards Ian
This is an interesting technique. I think that the "minimum" paintjob shouldn't be 3 colours, but a coloured base with a zenithal (or drybrushed) highlight for wargaming, so I like this. I find it's easier to "read" a miniature on the tabletop with a simple zenithal than it is a sloppy 3-colour paintjob where the painter was hating every second and it shows. However, all the extra steps of washing didn't seem to move the model that far from just a base+zenithal. I feel like you could easily have left that out, or instead just picked out a few areas of colour.
Sorry to take a poop on your sponsor, but if buying a square foot of land in Scotland makes you lord or lady then *everyone* who owns their own home there (certainly with a garden) is one. I looked at this and the only thing you get is the courtesy of "laird" which is a courtesy title, a bit like the English version "esquire" at the end of the name. It's not a title as such in the way they are usually sold, plus you can just use the title anyway because it doesn't involve being a member of the British empire or any of the dodgy rolled up trouserleg masonic orders. Yes, you can buy titles, but it usually involves UK politicians and paying a significantly bigger amount in the several thousands to become a tory sponsor (just google Russian oligarchs and Boris Johnson, it's not even a secret at this point)... Apart from that, excellent episode. I'll get started on my pile of shame!
Thank you! You said that more eloquently than I could. There’s a quote from someone who deals with this “The point is that these plots are too small to be recorded in the land register and thus someone donating to the organisation concerned in return for ‘possession’ of a souvenir plot is not a legal owner of land in Scotland.” By all means buy one for fun and call yourself whatever you like. But if you show up here and claim to own 1sq ft of land in Scotland we’ll still be laughing long after you’ve left.
It's just like the eejits selling/buying plots of the moon or stars in the sky. Like, well done, you paid some rando money for a bit of paper you could have just printed yourself. It probably wouldn't hit a nerve if we didn't already have land-ownership issues by aristocrats here affecting environmental and conservation efforts, but aye, kinda let down to see Jon peddling that crap, innocent fun as it may be. Still, good video.
@@phoenixignition23 Thank you for clarifying that with that quote. It makes sense that it's both too small to record, and also knowing this is the case, these companies are potentially overselling the land (assuming they do actually have ownership and not being outright fraudulent rather than deceptive). The bit that boils my proverbial urine is that with passing scrutiny it's obviously dodgy AF but these scams continue to be portrayed as legitimate to prey on the hopeful and optimistic. I remember this from when I was a small kid, and that was a fair number of decades in the past.
Canadians beware! We're not allowed to hold titles and our citizenship lol. Not even rich old Conrad Black could get away with it. More importantly, great video!
On projects like this I do my best to not fall into the trap of airbrush primer. Rattle can is faster, I'm not going to win an award, I'm not getting any younger, and it still looks fantastic.
Going to add a minor step between the airbrushing and washes. Some airbrush inks *really don't like* any paint thinners. Test before hand, and if they don't like it, put a matte medium layer down between your ink layers and paint layers.
Been using this exactly style for DnD minis for a while now - I would say it's actually superior to full colour schemes for DnD, because it leaves room for the imagination and multiple uses of the same model with different descriptions
Oh Lord John, I've royally screwed up the opportunity to mention in the video that this is the SUNDROP painting method and gain free internet karma as this is THE method that KS miniature producers sell with a crazy price tag durring the campain. Maybe change the tilte, add some tags or share in board game releated outlets for extra views and likes?
I feel like these minis aren’t painted, instead they are well prepared for an actual speed painting session. Instead of taking the extra step of fine detail highlighting on the airbrush portion, which is outside the scope of speed painting anyway imo, just use that time to put 2 different, maybe complimentary, colours in select few spots on the mini. That turtle with singular layers of colour on the skin and the shell, for example, would make that an actual finished speed paint job. If any of those minis had a single layer of contrast paint on their skins, they’d be much more ‚finished‘ =)
I think people forget a lot of the time that you don’t need to pick up every detail and make it look like box art or a “real” miniature. That paint jobs like this are still beautiful and immersive and can very much still tell a story. Amazing video as always

Simple solution:. Move all unpainted and unassembled models to another part of the house. Leave them in the Gray Lands and live guilt free

That’s awesome to hear Jordan. Also, I approve of your Packers jersey 🙌
I never thought of using make up sponges to pull the extra wash up! That and using a red wash for an undead creature are genius!
“I’m never gonna paint all those… ooh what’s new on kickstarter” is the most relatable joke you’ve ever made haha
Thank you , Jon .

Love seeing the winsor Newton paints in your lineup. I've been experimenting with acrylic gouache on minis. Matte paints. No shiny.
Perfect timing! Just bought all sets of Zombicide Black Plague/Green Horde and needed a quick way to paint them...thanks
I had a bunch of Rising Sun minis I've been neglecting for a while, this is a pretty great idea to get the team colours down without leaving them bare plastic.
Nice landing Lord John! That is a fine standard you breached in no time at all. On board with that plot all the way.
Gotta get it "POPPIN!"

What a different way to paint! Love it!

Absolutely needed this video considering I just got Bardsung and want to get it to the table asap...thanks!
I like the eyes on your vortex mixer. Nice touch.

From my understanding what Ninjon is referring to here as Dry-Brushing is actually Over-Brushing.

Great idea! I’ve had the bardsung boxes for a few months and there are a whole bunch of baddies that this would be perfect for
This is a really neat little idea that I will have to file away for future use, should i ever have to fall back onto it!
Great 👍. Guess I now have no excuse anymore so I get that box of zombicide painted.
Im going to have to paint 50 kroot and was stressing so this video came out at a perfect time!
Great video. I know you have already said it has been well overdone, which is probably true, but I would love to see your take on AP’s speed paints on a quick build as well. Maybe a comparison vid would be cool as well.
Awesome Jon. Looking to use this on my undead army.
I’ve been trying to convince myself it’s worth it to do just this on some of my board game models. Great seeing how awesome it can turn out!

Where do you get the caps for the pro acryl paints?! Please!!
What cups do you use to mix your wash?
I like painting MD2 I hope your models got a bit less moldlines on them.
I prefer to imagine that Scott Land is just a small patch of grass in Miniac's lawn.
What white do you use to prime? I keep getting jams from white in my airbrush no matter how thin i make it!
Did you need to wash thoes minnis before priming them
Brishles.

I'm toying with making Dippable Contrast Paints. Then it will just be Dip, Detail, Wash.
I see you use oil paints a lot.
Do you know if water-mixable oil paints have the same properties/effects as traditional oil?
So...what's the painting timetable for MD2?

adding just one accent color to each model with ink, glaze or contrast would really make them pop, like the red accents in Sin City 🙂
Oh Lord John, I've royally screwed up the opportunity to mention in the video that this is the SUNDROP painting method and gain free internet karma as this is THE method that KS miniature producers sell with a crazy price tag durring the campain.
Maybe change the tilte, add some tags or share in board game releated outlets for extra views and likes?
I feel like these minis aren’t painted, instead they are well prepared for an actual speed painting session. Instead of taking the extra step of fine detail highlighting on the airbrush portion, which is outside the scope of speed painting anyway imo, just use that time to put 2 different, maybe complimentary, colours in select few spots on the mini. That turtle with singular layers of colour on the skin and the shell, for example, would make that an actual finished speed paint job.
If any of those minis had a single layer of contrast paint on their skins, they’d be much more ‚finished‘ =)
Here to help out the algorithm :)
For even more speed use colored primer like brown and violet.
Did you look up your sponsor? Most websites say they are a scam.
