    I don't mention undercoating miniatures in this video because it is aimed at people who just want to try painting a miniature. Undercoating adds extra cost and complication that isn't really needed for 2 miniatures. if you decided you want to get serious painting miniatures then I do recommend undercoating your miniatures first.

    I love that this is a complete utorial, not just the painting itself. I think lots of people new to Warhammer are also new to model building in general and maybe think you need to spend 100's on all sorts of stuff and need a full hobby basement or garage or something. To be able to literally reproduce every step of the entire proces as described in this video is great!

      The miniatures have gotten tons better but 40k is still a giant imbalanced mess and it has only gotten worse over the years. I still enjoy my backlog of models, and making diorama's. Luckily I'm not forced to play it and unfortunately there is no alternative in my area since with tabletop games a game nobody else is playing is pretty useless. I have taken a huge liking to modern miniature board games however. Such as Resident Evil 2, and Zombicide. I get to play with miniatures I can paint and you can usually get random people to play and have fun and nobody needs to make a $700+ investment.

    Awesome tutorial.
    Going to try my hand at painting Intercessors. I sped paint Cadians just to get them on the table, but I want to take my time with the intecessors. Only annoying thing is how many paints you need to paint the whole model including highlights, but I'm going to stick to just painting all the main stuff + shading and then see how it looks.
    Is highlighting needed at all? It seems optional.

    • @TableTopReadyYoutube
      @TableTopReadyYoutube  2 года назад +6

      Your plan to do everything except highlighting is a good idea. Highlighting isn’t necessary but you can see the difference. You just have to find your rhythm. You can just do a single highlight with Calgar blue for ultramarines as well.

  • @richardpurdy603
    @richardpurdy603 Год назад +7

    Excellent video and I think I’m definitely ready to paint my first miniatures. Can I ask why you didn’t use a coat of primer and just went straight for base colour?

    • @TableTopReadyYoutube
      @TableTopReadyYoutube  Год назад +3

      Brilliant. I hope you do get the opportunity to get started. I don’t include priming because I wanted it to be a simple way to get into
      The hobby and try it out. Priming just adds cost and makes it more complicated when just painting straight onto the plastic is good enough for your first time painting

  • @mattsandow3751

    There are LOTS of videos put up by some very talented artists but this is definitely the best one that truly is aimed at the beginner. I bought the recommended magazine and paint/tool set which is a great idea, again for beginners like me. The steps shown in the vid are well explained and the techniques clearly shown. I thoroughly recommend this video.

    • @TableTopReadyYoutube
      @TableTopReadyYoutube  Год назад

      I remember what it was like starting out. I just thought about all the basic info that could have really helped straight away. I had to learn all of this the hard way over 20 years haha I’m glad I’m able to give others a better start to painting that I had. 😁

    Just used this to paint my first miniature. Turned out a little different (assuming I need to work on thinning + I used a black primer so colors are more darker) and I’m proud with how gritty and badass it turned out. Many thanks for being straightforward!

      honestly, don't worry too much about how it turns out, especially if you have never painted before. Use the 2 miniatures to explore the different techniques and have fun with it. This tutorial was made to give you a good general idea about the process and ideas behind why things are done the way they are. hopefully once you've finished you'll feel more confident to have a real go at painting something you actually want to collect and paint. When you are ready to paint something for a collection find some more tutorials on what you want to paint because at least you'll know what they're talking about after following along with this tutorial :D good luck and take your time, there's no rush, just get use to painting and the more you do the better you'll get at it, we all start somewhere
