I hope you guys enjoyed this one.. I did, even though I don't like Nurgle! 😅 If you want to support the channel, make sure to check out the links in the description 😀😀
Great job as ever, man. Anybody who says drybrushing is useless deserves a kick in the bollocks for perpetuating nonsense. It's a technique that has served miniature painters very effectively for decades, and will continue to do so.
I agree. I'm not a huge fan of the texture you can end up with from it, but with the make up brush and very little paint, it works well.. was ideal here. 😀
"What a lovely lovely voice." - Bane The models look really nice. Good job. And of course the wash-spill was a part of the project. It always happens to me too.
as an imperial guard player I feel this! most of my newer reinforcements for my hektarian guard (i came up with the name years before that recent faction for aos) still need to either be repainted from their previous owner's colours or outright primed
Great work with some great tips! Thanks Ollie. The tesseract glow I would never have thought of, but it came up a treat and makes a great spot colour for the scheme!
well done, great to see your progression with speed/batch painting one day you and I will have to link up and I will guide through another way to get those figures on the table.
One thing to be careful about is if you varnish ground cover/soil it might darken it a lot. I made that mistake and had to redo the basing to bring it back, the varnish soaked in and darkened it a lot.
Bang on job mate. I love a hobby short cut and you've gone through a host of them here. With £40 beginner air brushes on Amazon now too there is no reason why most punters can't invest in one and have a go too. All brush work you may have struggled for time unless you've done even more basic like a Death Guard Green or Grey primer rattle can before going to town with the washes.
Great job getting these done in a day, they look awesome. I just finished a similar (though not nearly as ambitious) project with a squad of 10 primaris infiltrators, and while I'm really happy with them I could still really benefit from some of these ideas.
It's all learning right!? 😀 I've failed too many 24 hour challenges, so thought I'd try and adapt to speed up.. I'm just a stickler for painting my best (average😅). Keep it up!
What fantastic looking models, you did very well to get them finished in time and some very useful painting tips as well. What more could we ask for, thanks
One thing that could make them really pop (I do it at least) is apply a thin coat of gloss varnish to all the fleshy and slimy parts. This gives them a really fleshy and wet look and gives them natural highlights because of the glossiness
That's good thinking 😀 I was thinking satin all over, then some nice gloss on the tentacles, keep them all goopy. I'll have a play and finish them up this week. These bois will make an appearance on the channel soon! 😀
This is pretty cool but I reckon you could smash these out quicker priming with like army painter colour primer and wash dry brush ect I crack out hoards like this
Yeah, there are definitely other ways o do this, if you were after SUPER speed painting. I quite liked the finish, and hate "rushing" my models. For sure though, slamming Washes on would get these lads out!
I‘ve got a general question regarding airbrushing. I see so many channels just airbrushing on their living room table without any additional breathing protection/ventilation. However, when I do research online, everybody highly suggests spray booths and fans and so on. Is all this jazz really necessary when you‘re only using acrylics?
To avoid spilling your GW paint pots is very easy... either do not buy GW paints or buy dropper bottles and TRANSFER them to those new dropper bottles! I try to not buy GW paints because they are over priced and the painting pots suck! However every now and then I do find a good deal so I end up picking up those and then immediately transfer them to the dropper bottles.
I'm British and you are the most British person i've ever heard lol, just bought my first space marines, excited to get into the hobby, just wondered do you play the game or just paint? Im only planning to paint mine Oh and this was a great video, you must have the patience of a saint
Haha, I've even started to lose my British-ness these last few years (living in Ireland), you should have heard me 10 years ago! 😅 I do play, yes. There are several battle reports on the channel already, with more to come this year! Painting is a grest part of the hobby, so just do whatever interests you. 😃 I really enjoy collecting, oddly.
@@BroadswordWargaming thanks for the reply, i've subscribed to your channel, i think for me figures look better without an airbrush (saying this because im watvhing the video again lol) or i actually think an airbrush is good for layering after you apply base coats etc. Look forward to seeing more videos
So good! I just recently got a air brush to paint mine and I’ve been using citadels “air” paints and it’s been clumping up real hard, then I thin it and it just sprays out with splatters? Any suggestions on what it could be from? I’ve done the obvious, different thinners, different sprays at different psi but still no luck 🤦🏻♂️
Thanks for the video! I am basing my poxwalkers on your ideas and was just curious: did you see any different behaviour of the washes when putting them through the airbrush compared to regular brushing?
Hey, Ah cool! Yes, I find washes act more like a filter colour through an airbrush, rather than a trading wash (sticking to recessed areas). Use a combination to add some variety onto the models. 😀 I'm still quite happy with these guys for a day work! You can do it!
@@BroadswordWargaming yes, that makes sense. I may try Liquitex acrylic ink to see the outcome. Also, I substituted the base color with necrotic flesh from army painter. You made a good choice of colors, everything comes together nicely 👌👌
They are looking real nice, and I’m really impressed that they only took 10 hours! You’ve done a good few painting challenges now. How’s has this affected you pile of shame?
I have made a small dent in it. 😀 If anything, it's going to spur me on to finish a few projects and sell sone others. Still in the process of moving studio, so ill be able to have a good sort out soon. 😀
I had planned on spending my next two days off playing Xbox and drinking beer. After watching this, I'll be batch painting Flesh Tearers..... and drinking beer. 😉
Bloody loved watching this one and some great advice even if you do look like a crazy person at 11.07 in the video and can I legally mock you different platforms for spilling the nulin oil 🤣? Also there is a plague bearer flesh contrast paint with is exactly the same as nurgles rot technical paint .
Definitely! I've got a patreon only stream next week, so probably the week after. I am streaming on Ciaras channel, tomorrow, at 12 GMT, for 12 hours. 😀Should be fun. m.twitch.tv/ciara_elvenblood
Great video, I will be using this style on my walkers! They are based in the UK, so no idea if you might get stung with duty now, but fatbuddhastore.com have a great range of spray paints mail-order 👍
Yeah, I live in a pretty small town, in the west of Ireland. With lockdown on as well, there is no where I can buy spray cans I like atm. 😔 We don't have anywhere that stocks decent cans.
Then you'd best go get one so you can do your poxwalkers. 🤣 In fairness, you could do this with brushwork, same colours etc. Start it with a white zenithal from a spray can. Paint a VERY thin layer of the green and add patches of the washes. Drybrush the face back and then hit it all with a thin green wash. Easy. Sort of. 😅
I hope you guys enjoyed this one.. I did, even though I don't like Nurgle! 😅 If you want to support the channel, make sure to check out the links in the description 😀😀
YOU DON'T LIKE NURGLE!?!?!?
Don't like Nurgle still paints 50 poxwalkers have my like.

The models look really nice. Good job. And of course the wash-spill was a part of the project. It always happens to me too.
Haha, I do love a sing every now and then. Failed actor reporting for duty. 😅
Those guys look great. I'm looking forward to seeing them with their eyes painted in to really bring them to life.
Thanks Euan. They'll be making an appearance soon.. eyes and all!
Wow! You finished a timed challenge! Congrats dude! They look ace too, really nice work!
I know, it happened, for once. 😅 Thanks man.
Great job on these, I always struggle with assembly line painting 😂
Me too, usually. I ended up enjoying this one though.. in the end. 😅
as an imperial guard player I feel this! most of my newer reinforcements for my hektarian guard (i came up with the name years before that recent faction for aos) still need to either be repainted from their previous owner's colours or outright primed
These look awesome, super well done for the time limit. Congrats on the run!
Thank you! 😀
Congratulations mate on smashing out the challenge, models look great.
The singing at the beginning really set the tone. Great video!
Glad you liked it!
Great work with some great tips! Thanks Ollie. The tesseract glow I would never have thought of, but it came up a treat and makes a great spot colour for the scheme!
Thanks! 😀 I took a bit of a gamble and just went for it 😅.. ended up really liking it though, thankfully.
well done, great to see your progression with speed/batch painting one day you and I will have to link up and I will guide through another way to get those figures on the table.
Yeah man! Thanks! You smash through your models, so any tips are always gladly recieved. 😀
Those look fantastic Ollie
Very nice, that green really put them over the top!
Thanks man! 😀 Yeah, I was really pleased with the effect in the end.. gambled and just did them all anyway 😅 So much for a well prepared scheme. 🤣

Thanks buddy! I honestly love the airbrush, it's improved my paitning so much, and definitely helps to paint quicker (and more snoothly). 😀
Nice work.. nice to see a well paced goal. ~USA
These turned out amazing my friend. I would love to bring some Guards to blow the off the table while looking amazing for Papa Nurgle.
Yes, they must die for the Emperor. 😀
use something like that citadel triangle pot holder so you dont spill those shades/contrasts anymore, much more secure
You're bang on the money there. 😀 I now own 2 of them. Huraaaah. GG paint spilling.

Haha, concentration face engaged.
This was very cool to watch. Lots of good advice!
great video and yay finally a finished army haha also like how you didn't bring up spilling the glue as well as the paints.
Haha, had to be done. I was very spilly this weekend! 🤣
Your best video yet. Good job!
Aw thanks so much! 😊 Yeah, I really liked this one, thought it had lots of nice camera shots haha. Who knows about the models.. 😅
Great video and some really practical tips. I definitely need to get dryer.
I just steal Ciara's hairdryer and don't tell her 🤣
Great work and adding that little song was fun just subscribed :)
Aw thanks! 🤣

Way to serenade me into inspiration!
I glue my washes especially nulls oil. To a 40mm mdf base. Find I haven’t knocked any over since
Those look great!
Thanks! 😀
Awesome work! Love the opening 😂
I can’t wait to see them on the tabletop at some point!
They'll be coming soon.. "you" might get to kill some. 😀

Excellent work, especially in 10 hours
Thanks so much! Yeah, I was pretty pleased with how they came out. 😀
Poxwalkers are some of my favorite minis ever, I find them somewhat charming (in a very weird and disgusting way)
I agree, I actually enjoyed these despite not really liking Nurgle. They're fun little models

Can you explain the soil thing that you used for basing? Is that actual dirt? Or is it a product?

spilling my camoshade
Absolute mad lad
I had to stop myself because I realized I'm watching videos on batch painting instead of sitting down and batch painting...
Haha. I'd never thought how distracting batch painting videos are when you're trying to batch paint. 😅
hot glue a 80-100mm MDF circular base onto your shade pots to stop them tipping over.
I think I NEED to do this! Thanks. 😀
They are looking real nice, and I’m really impressed that they only took 10 hours!

Im just starting at painting, so I have a question, I would like to know how do you glue the soil to the base, thank you
Hey, so I used the Geek Gaming fast drying basing glue (www.geekgaming.co.uk) but you can use regular PVA glue too. 😀 and welcome!
