@imperialminis857 hello...first of all congratulations! I have a question, I'm Italian and I don't understand English unfortunately, in fact I'm writing with the translator. Surely you will have said, but what brand are these fantastic knights. Sorry because it could be a stupid question. Congratulations again 😉
@juandelosmortos7824 Saluti! These miniatures are from CMON’s game “A Song of Ice and Fire”, based on the George RR Martin books. This unit is called the King’s Men, and they belong to the Baratheon faction. If you Google “a song of ice and fire miniatures game king’s men”, you should find them easily.
Looks great, I like how you do the metals, seems like a good recipe for worn armor in general. The tabards look really nice, though I might have to simplify it some if I try anything similar.
Thanks Brent! It’s a pretty simple process for the armor and doesn’t require a lot of detail work at all. You could simplify the tabards by combining a couple of the steps (like base coating in 50/50 choc. brown and Iroko and doing 50/50 Iroko/Sahara Yellow for the first highlight).
That’s great to hear! I’m glad you enjoyed the video. The game has some gorgeous minis and most would fit in with any kind of medieval setting, barring the occasional dragon, giant, or mammoth. ;) The Baratheon faction has some of the most heavily armored, traditional-looking knights, but there’s a wide variety of different looking medieval-era troops from the various factions. Enjoy!
Thanks. I like to find ways to break up the uniformity a little bit by changing up the colors of certain items. It kind of fools the eye into making you think you’re not looking at the same three or four sculpts.
Absolutely amazing work! Miniature painting and wargaming is not common from where I am and suddenly came across somebody's post about ASOIAF game. I have recently started painting minis myself, mostly warhammer. After looking for tutorials on ASOIAF I found you video about wardens and was mesmerized, actually made me want to buy Baratheon starter set and paint it the way you do. Excellent video, excellent tutorial, I just have one question, do you brush primer on minis or do you use airbrush? Will be trying you way soon. Oh and yeah, I want more painting vids... No, I want all the painting vids! 😂
Thanks for the feedback! I’m glad you’ve found this video and the Wardens video helpful as you continue your miniature painting journey. As for priming, I use airbrush primer for a couple of reasons: first and foremost, it’s a lot cheaper than using spray primer, and second, you have greater control when using an airbrush. But for me, the cost-effectiveness is the biggest factor. If rattle can primer was a lot less expensive, I’d use it 100% of the time for convenience purposes. But as it is, a bottle of airbrush primer costs the same or less than a rattle can and lasts me five or six times as long, easily.
@@imperialminis857 Thanks for the reply! I use hardware store rattle can primers but I can't seem to find black-brown color, nor do I have an airbrush, so I was wondering if you had tried applying ProAcryl black-brown primer with brush and if you did, if it worked well.
@sh4dewarrior576 I think that applying the Black Brown primer with a brush would work just fine, assuming you had already applied a black primer underneath. The Pro Acryl Black Brown is thin enough that it should go on pretty smooth. In fact, I often find myself touching up the minis with a brush after airbrushing the primer on, because there are inevitably little nooks and crannies that I miss with the airbrush. So I’d definitely recommend giving the Black Brown a try with a brush if you don’t have an airbrush (again, assuming there’s already another primer layer underneath).
I think as long as you don't splash your hands with them for extended periods of time, you should be fine. And use them in a well ventilated area. I use enamel washes, but there are also oil washes that serve the same purpose. Oil washes may be "safer", but I am not certain.
I don’t play Lannisters at the moment and don’t own any Lannister minis, so it’s not likely that I’ll paint CRHG any time soon unfortunately. I have a mountain of other units still to paint for my other factions I play.
Really nice seeing asoiaf minis getting painted grimdark style! 👍🏻
The setting of ASOIAF lends itself to some grimdark treatment, I think. It’s a pretty brutal, merciless, and violent world…

100% agree the kings men sculpts look great and the grimdark style is excellent. i always love to see more videos for ASOIAF

these look absolutely incredible, its made me want to buy the game and get a knight faction just to do this :)

Breaking up the tabards is a great idea 😃👍

Thx, good job;) I think we want more;)
Thanks, good to know. ;)

How safe are the washes? I’ve always wanted to try them out but I don’t want to poison myself
