Agreed. It's normally really easy to pick out contrast paint jobs. This doesn't have that monotone, mildly splotchy look. I'm going to have to experiment with this for my hobby skillset.
I know all if not all the tricks from this video but it is very nice to watch when it is being presented that well. Thank you and looking forward to more!
theres not really anyone that does exclusively speed painting stuff (not that you have to do exclusively speed painting) to THIS level so yeah these little tricks make for great watching@@MattsHobbyHour . its quite funny really absolutely nothing like this existed in the 90s
Yea take that part with a grain of salt... nevertheless it is good looking and probably didn't take too long compared to other models with even more depth and highlight
This was excellent! I had never considered mixing standard paints in with the Contrast paints like that, but it opens up so many other possibilities. Great color scheme!
These seem like easily achievable results. I personally love videos that show easy, yet great looking painting schemes that I feel like most normal mortals can reproduce 😊
Never thought of shading Gold with Magos Purple, cant wait to try that out. Also really like the tint technique with Nazdreg Yellow and Seraphim Sepia. Great job!
I've really been enjoying your tutorials for the two saurus models and i think tonight is the night ill finally stop procrastinating and do a test run using the techniques youve shown here. Looking forward to seeing whats next on the channel. Cheers!
This looks amazing! Thanks for sharing the tips! That purple around the mouth and eyes is such a small/ quick step but I feel like it added a ton of depth! Can't wait for more videos!
I really liked this tutorial. Showing how to paint quickly and get a great result is so helpful. Also like seeing something that’s in the fantasy D&D genre….
Very nice man! Id love to see more recipes made from mixing contrasts and color schemes. :) Love hove simple techniques makes it look so good! Keep it up!
I liked the tip of going back with white to highlight details after dry-brushing. I'll try that. Makes sense since you're using contrast paints and shades. I never considered that.
Really cool video, one of the best looking speed painting jobs I have seen so far, and you explained very good what you were doing and why you were doing it. Would love to see more!
Thanks! That's a good question. I really like the look of the red mounts on those new skink riders, so I'd probably go that route. Maybe an orange-red with tan undersides for the mounts/monsters. And for the skinks... probably similar to the Saurus, but maybe lighter and a little bit more of a yellow green. Lots to think about!
Hey just wanted to comment that I love your videos and your approach. I'm all about the techniques that are smart not hard, and you just absolutely nail that painting style.
This was GREAT! I'm looking for EXACTLY this type of painting. It's at great way to involve my kids and gets great results that we're all happy with! I subscribed for this video and hope to see more. Thanks for sharing!
Wonderful! Thank you so much for watching. Glad to hear the kids are getting involved in mini painting too. I'll have plenty more videos like this coming soon.
Speed painting is my favorite genre of painting videos. Would be cool to see some models from other ranges than gw or even 3d printed minis. Great video!
This is a great painting tutorial, really like your approach, and I've subscribed to your channel. I personally would love your approach to painting ork skin.
Thanks! I have a lot of Tyranids up on the channel already. And some Skaven are on my to-do list, hopefully in the next couple months. Thanks for watching!
Would it also work with a classic slap chop? Prime in black dry brush grey and then dry brush white and then the white highlights. I´m wondering if it would look as what you did 😅😂
Thanks for watching! That's what 20 years of commission painting will do to you... lol. I posted a termagant speed painting video in real time if you want to see that in action. Thank you for subscribing!
@@MattsHobbyHour that would be sick, especially if you went with something other than white! Most of the extant tutorials pant them up as one sees on the tin.
Great suggestion! I have some Eldar in the works right now actually. It's not speed or contrast though. I'll have to make a speed guide some time soon!
great idea! That would be a really cool combination. I'm working up a blue and grey scheme right now, but I think a black and orange scheme would be a great one to try out next. Thanks for watching!
Give mixing a shot some time! It's faster than you think. I have a video on how to mix a whole pot of custom colors; if you're doing an army it makes things way easier... you'll only have to mix it once!
I really like the more muted tones when compared to the vibrant blues on the box art. I'm thinking I'd like to do that for some seraphon, but I'm not sure how I could desaturate the contrast paints. My first thought is a mix of basillicanum grey + blue contrast + contrast medium in varying parts. Could that work?
Yes I think that would work. You might want to check out my video on painting Stone Trolls/Rockgut Troggoths. I painted those in a muted bluish grey and I think the recipe would translate well to Seraphon. Good luck with your army!
Great video, and the final result is even better. One suggestion I'd make though, not related at all to technique, is to see if you can find some of the earth/ground textures made by Vallejo for their Diorama Effects line. For about 50-60% more cost compared to a bottle of Stirland Mud, you get a small tub containing over *eight times* as much of the stuff. So if you're going to be doing much painting over it anyway, might as well go for the cheaper stuff. (Plus it's even a pretty good adhesive for adding rocks or whatever to the base, as well, making it easy to just sink them in.)
Thanks for watching! And thank you for the suggestion. I got a bottle of the vallejo stuff recently, just using up some old GW stuff that I had lying around. The price is definitely a good thing. On most of my armies I still tend to do glue/sand though... maybe I'm just a creature of habit.
I definitely get that, about being a creature of habit, as I used to do pretty much the same thing back in the day. I just found that for myself, the Vallejo textures sit precisely at the sweet spot where my basic cheapness and laziness intersect, so my bases almost always start with some variety of that stuff. 🙂 (Having (once) tried one of GW's crackle texture paints, though, I did think they were pretty good, although still horribly overpriced by volume compared to their competitors. Generally speaking I actually don't even think their paint is as expensive as it seems from first glance, since it's so thick you end up getting a lot more out of it than you might expect by volume, but their texture paints and varnishes, to say nothing of their airbrush thinner, are just wildly overpriced.)
@@JamesS-rt8jp yeah it is a little overpriced compared to alternatives. I do use a lot of both. The tricky thing is when making a video, I want to try and use supplies that are the most accessible to everyone. In most cases that is Games Workshop. Advanced hobbyists have the knowledge to substitute products, but a beginner might not be able to.
I definitely hear that. But while I'd hesitate to call myself advanced in anything except age, I have learned a few tricks and figured it wouldn't hurt to pass that one on, since the cost savings of one tub of the Vallejo goop is enough to buy a full-price box of, I don't know, Space Marines or what have you... if, as you point out, you can get it as opposed to GW products, which are pretty ubiquitous. (That being said, I wasn't surprised to hear you knew about said alternative, but figured adding it in a comment might help someone else at least. Worst case scenario, maybe I've managed to boost your video's profile a bit with RUclips's Mr. Al G. O'Rithm, thereby pushing it ever so slightly up the ranks, which one would hope can't hurt. 🙂)
@@JamesS-rt8jp That's a great point! Thank you for sharing and please feel free to keep sharing in the future. The more information we can have out there, the better.

I don't think I've ever seen contrast paint look that good. Wow
Thanks for watching!
I'd really like to see more of the high-impact, low-effort techniques like the gemstone you demonstrated in this video. Great work!
Thanks for the suggestion! I'll be sure to include more of those in the future
Nice colour scheme looks quite natural, and not immediately contrast painted. Well done. 😊👍
Thank you very much!
Agreed. It's normally really easy to pick out contrast paint jobs. This doesn't have that monotone, mildly splotchy look. I'm going to have to experiment with this for my hobby skillset.

Thank you! I appreciate your kind words
Great vid! Effective Techniques and nicely explained with no bs talk around it. Like that.
Thank you!
all of it was amazing loved the gem. great job and thanks for the tips!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
Damn, he looks awesome! Great clear step-by-step instructions too, good job 👍🏻
Thank you!
this looks obscenely good for being speed painted so yeah id quite like to see more of your speed painted stuff
Thanks! I'll make some more of those kinds of videos. I've picked up a lot of tricks doing commissions over the years.
theres not really anyone that does exclusively speed painting stuff (not that you have to do exclusively speed painting) to THIS level so yeah these little tricks make for great watching@@MattsHobbyHour . its quite funny really absolutely nothing like this existed in the 90s
Good video and well painted mini. More videos like this would be awesome.
So relaxing to watch. Brilliant finish too!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
Up there with the best results I've seen from contrast speed painting, and very well explained. Great video.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it
This is super slick. The fact that only took like 30 min is nasty. Never thought about using purple on gold like that. Really nice
im not sure this took 30 minutes
Yea take that part with a grain of salt... nevertheless it is good looking and probably didn't take too long compared to other models with even more depth and highlight
Thanks Matt, its just amazing how clear you are when you explain What you are doing. Even for a French speaker Guy like me !
Thank you! I'm glad the narration is clear. Thanks for watching!
Génial ! Je n’avais pas pensé au violet mago. Merci beaucoup 😊
This is an amazing paint job! Thank you so much, im going to follow it for my own Seraphon!
Thanks! Good luck with your army
This was excellent! I had never considered mixing standard paints in with the Contrast paints like that, but it opens up so many other possibilities. Great color scheme!
Thank you! Glad it was helpful
Fantastic video! So great tips and hints for speeding up painting and modifying Contrasty Paints. Well done.
Thank you!
I'm impressed with the scheme you were able to create with contrast. i wouldn't have guessed that's how you painted the model
Thank you! It just goes to show how important mixing paints can be. Thanks for watching!

outstanding work, glad to find you on here!
Awesome, thank you!
DAMN! You just became my favorite painting channel. So much to be learned just from watching your technique with the brush.
Thank you! I'm glad you've found it helpful.
This is the nicest speed painting job I've seen in a long time. Thanks!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
This looks amazing! Thanks for sharing the tips! That purple around the mouth and eyes is such a small/ quick step but I feel like it added a ton of depth! Can't wait for more videos!
Thanks for watching! Some times it's those little details that make all the difference. Magos Purple is great for that kind of thing.
what a pleasant experience, great explanation and showing what and how you do it. Good choice of background music aswell.
Thank you very much!
Just started my own Seraphon army and will definately be using some of these techniques. Thanks for this and brilliant artwork!
Awesome! I'm glad its been helpful to you. Good luck with your new army!
Well done. I learned some tricks here and I have been painting for a while.
Glad to help, thanks for watching!
excellent achievement for only 2 months. You're killing it!
Thank you! Working hard at it!
Really great tutorial, love the natural color scheme. I'll be referring back to this a lot when I update my Lizardmen for Old World.
Awesome, good luck with your army. Thanks for watching!
Wow! Beautiful! Great technique 👍🏻
Thank you!
such a great paintjob for the 30 minutes work - i love it!
Thank you very much!
I really liked this tutorial. Showing how to paint quickly and get a great result is so helpful. Also like seeing something that’s in the fantasy D&D genre….
Thanks! Fantasy is my personal favorite genre, and I'm hoping to get more of that on that channel soon. Thanks for following!
This is by far, one of the best paint hacks I've ever seen. You could later add further highlights too. Nice work man. Thank you!
Thanks for watching and for your kind words! Yep you could absolutely highlight more. Happy painting!
Very nice man! Id love to see more recipes made from mixing contrasts and color schemes. :) Love hove simple techniques makes it look so good! Keep it up!

It's great for getting any details the drybrush missed. And its smoother too. Thanks for watching!
Really cool video, one of the best looking speed painting jobs I have seen so far, and you explained very good what you were doing and why you were doing it. Would love to see more!
Glad it was helpful, thanks for watching!
thank you for the detailed description while painting.
Glad it was helpful, and thanks for watching!
Thats really awesome, definitely going to need to pick up some Seraphon stuff. They just look like a joy to paint.
Thanks for watching! You really should get some, they're a lot of fun to paint
Yes please more videos like this one! How would you do skinks, and mounts if this was the color scheme for you Saurus warriors??
Thanks! That's a good question. I really like the look of the red mounts on those new skink riders, so I'd probably go that route. Maybe an orange-red with tan undersides for the mounts/monsters. And for the skinks... probably similar to the Saurus, but maybe lighter and a little bit more of a yellow green. Lots to think about!
@@MattsHobbyHour wow thanks for the reply! This video makes me want to run down to my flgs and pick up my seraphon box I have stashed down there!!
@@dominiccote6184 good luck! I hope you get some nice results.
Great work, that gem is aces!

Thank you very much!
This is a lovely scheme and method. I love your channel, keep up the most excellent work 😁👍👏
Thank you very much!
What a masterpiece! Great video! Would love to see you do some Orks!
Thanks! Great idea, some orks would be cool!
GREAT job brother...I'm really impressed...keep it up...wouldn't mind seeing a blue or red color scheme on the Saurus...
Thank you! Stay tuned this Wednesday... something might be in the works!
Love it, I will try something like this on my reptisaurians, thanks!
Thanks for watching and good luck!
Well done mate ! Simple , very informative and of course very effective ! Keep a great work
Thank you!
This is great. The chill vibe is so relaxing to watch. Thank you for making this video, it's the first of yours I have seen. Please keep it up!
Thank you! I'll keep em coming!
This is a great painting tutorial, really like your approach, and I've subscribed to your channel. I personally would love your approach to painting ork skin.
Thank you! Some orks/orcs would be a lot of fun to paint. I'll have to dig around and see what models I have to work with.
Wonderful stuff!
Thank you!
Eyes look AMAZING!
Man that green is so sharp
now that's an inspiring paintjob! keep it up :D
Thanks, will do!
Waow ! Looks amazing !
Given how fast you seem to be, I wonder what it looks like when you take your time ! Surely Golden demon worthy.
Thanks! I won a few of those back in the day. Haven't competed recently due to time constraints, but maybe again one day!
Would like to see your approach to Tyranids and skaven. This saurus looks great.
Thanks! I have a lot of Tyranids up on the channel already. And some Skaven are on my to-do list, hopefully in the next couple months. Thanks for watching!
Love your saurus warrior i would love to see more seraphon in the same scheme 😊
Thank you! If I track down some more I'll paint them up!
@@MattsHobbyHour i would love that. I´m thinking about to use your scheme for my seraphan aswell 😁
@@salinasbernard4580 Please feel free to use the recipes and if you use instagram, feel free to tag me. I'd love to see your results
@@MattsHobbyHour i´m gonna do that😁. But first i have to do my admech 😅
Would it also work with a classic slap chop? Prime in black dry brush grey and then dry brush white and then the white highlights. I´m wondering if it would look as what you did 😅😂
Your brush control is insane if you can do those manual steps in 30 minutes. Very nice results, and great tips all around, subscribed!

Great to hear, thank you!
Useful tips. Would love to see your take on Orcs
Noted! Thanks for watching!
Awesome video! You were way ahead of everyone else. 2 years ago?
Could you make something like a Miniature for DnD?
Or a Bust of a character?
the lighter tone on the belly looks like a nice match for the new ghouls from games workshop!
great idea! I need to get my hands on some of those to try out a few recipes.
Youve got a high elf oldworld army, id love to see some Lumineth as my grey pile grows!
Good idea! I have a couple lumineth troops I could paint up.
@@MattsHobbyHour that would be sick, especially if you went with something other than white! Most of the extant tutorials pant them up as one sees on the tin.
Great paintjob.Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
this is really really really helpful mate, thanks a lot for the information!!!!!!!!!!!!
i'm glad it was helpful. Thanks for watching!
Great job!!
Thank you!
Watching painting of this level just makes me think I paint like a double amputee!
Great work. 👍
A tutorial on mixing speed paints would be cool.
Thanks for watching! And thank you also for the suggestion, it's a great idea for a video.
Nice Video…
I would like to see painting Eldar 40K - Biel tan with speed or contrast paints.
Great suggestion! I have some Eldar in the works right now actually. It's not speed or contrast though. I'll have to make a speed guide some time soon!
This is excellent. Liked and subscribed 👍
Thank you!
Superb, my thanks!
Thank you too!
15k subs! Well done and well deserved
15k would be amazing! Only 1,500 at the time. But we'll reach the big leagues soon I think!
Nice work.
Thanks!
Great video!
Thank you!
Beautiful colours dinosaurs humanoid style
Awesome tutorial, thanks! Can you do a black and red or orange color scheme? Like a poison tree frog?
great idea! That would be a really cool combination. I'm working up a blue and grey scheme right now, but I think a black and orange scheme would be a great one to try out next. Thanks for watching!
I would like to see the same model and techniques in a blue color scheme.
This looks fantastic. I'm too lazy to mix paints but I'll see if I can replicate this :)
Give mixing a shot some time! It's faster than you think. I have a video on how to mix a whole pot of custom colors; if you're doing an army it makes things way easier... you'll only have to mix it once!
30mins for all this is crazy to me!
