That kickstarter is amazing. I am a hobbyist who suffers from a degenerative condition. It has destroyed my spine and left me unable to walk. I can relate to that orc because I have two metal rods in my spine. It’s great to see a company that is inclusive of all kinds of hobbyists.
The worst thing that happened to one of my models was a couple of years ago, at the Golden Demon at Adepticon, I overheard a very well-known, excellent miniature painter talking to a couple if guys looking at the case.
This painter pointed out my Mangler Squigs, and told these guys that it was the worst thing in the case. He then spent 15 minutes pointing out every single shortfall of my work.
I was stuck in line, on the 30 foot drop side, so I had to hear the whole thing.
I spent 116 hours on it. It's in the top 5 best paint jobs I have ever done. I can't enjoy the mini anymore. It just sit in my display cases being hated now.
Name the culprit!
The details you add to your models really make them pop. Your work is so cool!
thank you!
The blood is a great touch, this looks so good!!!
thank you!
Looks great! Thanks for always looking for new ways to save us time. 🙂
What's that, a way to blood splatter without getting Blood for the Blood God all over my thumb? Heck yes! Also love the glazing technique.
Hi from Germany! Thanks for Götz! Membered him only for the „Schwäbischer Gruß“, but his 2 iron prothesises were medieval masterpieces. It‘s amazing that he lives for over 80 years though war and robbery was his daily business. Now the soccer EM in Germany starts. No time left to adore your paintings… but you did great as usual!
Would love to see more of these videos. Great technique!
Your artistic color scheme first approach is refreshing, and I appreciate even putting the beginner instructive detail of what keywords to use in Google helpful. Thanks, Lyla! You are awesome. 😊
Worst thing that happened to one of my minis was I got a used model and it was sitting in some spirit green to get some paint off. Someone came in and they remembered I cleaned the bathroom earlier, so they thought the container of green liquid on the floor was dirty. Darth Maul got flushed down the toilet 😢
noooooooo
Probably survived tho. Maul has been through a lot worse.
Just wait for him to come back with mechanical legs
Bro’s been through enough!
Multiple incredibly useful tips that are right in my skill range. Thanks for sharing this content, Lyla!
Best video to date! Spot on with the washes and then the glazing highlights of the skin. Great job! Everyone give this a try!
Yay! Thank you!
Looking awesome! Been trying to use speedpaints as a base recently and than going from there has been super fun. THanks for the video :)
sir, no animals in this establishment.
But this is my service owl bear!
I love all your videos, Lyla!
I'm so glad!
Great tips that I can use in my kit building. Especially using the airbrush and toothbrush technique, definitely going to try that for mud splatter on military vehicles.
Great video as usual, keep them coming.😁
Blood and mud is one of my go to ways to make a "meh" model more exciting!
I like the "painting" transitions. The pinkishturquise light at the end were spot on. On dark/black every dust is visible. Also synth and 80's like music in the background is great.
I loved your videos earlier too, but this is a noticeable improvement. Cheers from Poland!
The airbrush/toothbrush trick looks super-useful! I'll have to try that. Thanks!
The Blood detail really made it work! That is awesome!
thank you!
Making people think you worked harder than you did. What a great tip! That's my life's motto
Excellent video! There's been an obvious improvement in production quality over the last few videos. Great job!
Thank you, that means a lot!
Nice, Golden High flow with other brands speed paints is a wonderful go to trick!
Thank you! Cheers!
Wow! You make that look so easy. I love my Color Cube for coming up with paint schemes. Ninjon did a couple vids about those.
Sorry I'll have to confess I only watch these videos to hear you say the word "Miniature" awe 🤩
Cool technique.
Götz von Berlichingen's prosthetic hand is also the origin of the "Swabian Salute," which includes the root of the English "Kiss my A*@." To add to it: There's badass, then there's "Mozart wrote a song with your catchphrase" badass, because, Mozart did just that.
Another cracking vid, undershading really is the key to optimising speedpaints and it should never really be with just black and white.
The blood spatter with an empty airbrush is a great idea. I've never seen anyone do that. Wonder if it would work for other weathering/effects
Love this Channel .
Thank you!
Great tip about not using speedpaint in small areas like belts and straps
I bought a knight and horse miniature that had a wonky arm while on vacation. I didn’t realize until I got home, and I didn’t want to bother with mailing him back to be replaced. So I ended up chopping the whole top half off and replacing it with the top half of a different mini. It turned out better than expected, but cutting up 2 brand new minis hurt a little 😅
I put paints on my Two Thin Coats caps as well. The trick is: Get some 200 grit sand paper and run it around the cap a couple times and then put the paint on. It goes on clean and even.
Great vid
That silver and bronze mix really tied the orc together...
Fantastic video! One question I have is regarding zenithal highlighting, I don't an airbrush at this stage. Can that step be done with a spray paint can in the same way or is there some different trick to it?
You can always try to emulate this airbrush technic with rattle can spray. It is harder to get to the right application but it could work.
Another way could be to try the shaded base coat technique that I first saw from Mr. Wappel. With this technique you apply several different colors very wet and quite fast to your model.
My most painful thing I have done to my miniatures is fix the Matt sealer spray that had frosted it white when I left it overnight to dry outside. I didn't know at the time that humidity affects the spray.
YOU dont have a Fans' ONLY Service like that Other-Gal I used to watch. (or! None that I seen!) Love your Videos Pretty! MORE glazing! lol
Götz von Berlichingen, despite the uncanny similarities, isn't an inspiration for the character of Guts from the manga (and anime) Berserk. He just happens to be a mercenary swordsman in for various companies in eastern Europe (or European-like area) who only became even more badass after losing his arm and getting a prosthetic (or two) made, and whose successes as a mercenary granted him near lordly status before being declared an outlaw for some time, only to then later gain an even stronger reputation for heroism. He even had a play written about him by Goethe.
He may not have been an inspiration for Guts, but he could EASILY be an inspiration for YOUR next fantasy RPG or wargame character.
I am stealing the shit outta that toothbrush blood splatter technique.
And, well, the rest of it too. Thanks Lyla!
You mentioned STL's, but I can't find an option for it in the kickstarter campaign.
Thank you for this video. Its very inspiring. Especially the edge highlights using the sides of the brush
Unfortunately and sadly, any video that uses an airbrush is a no go for me 😢
Worst thing that I did was to a bunch of metal miniatures: I was soaking them in acetone to get paint off quickly and tossed in last second a metal St. Celestine model with her black plastic base and only discovered much later when I was trying to get this mysterious sticky black goo off heritage hobbits. A nightmare that I eventually threw my hands up at and just accepted that my blobby old miniatures had extra blobbiness.
Most painful thing was just acknowledging that I wasn't gonna finish it lol there were a few models that i wanted to love but they were just... they weren't fun to paint, I couldn't justify pushing through anyways because I was unlikely to really use them or whatever. There were a couple I painted, repainted and repainted and then finally was just like "ok, no, time to give up on you and add you to the bits and bobs bin"
Very cool, will have to try that. I don't usually paint organic, creature miniatures, more mechanical ones (Battletech) that tend to have fewer round and bulbous parts. Curious to see how this will turn out.
Also, for a pronunciation of Götz von Berlichingen: ruclips.net/video/mHXQBJ8NhA0/видео.html#t=0m26s
German pronunciation is difficult. :)
Thank you for your help!
do you have any tips for a way to achieve the look of a controlled airbrushed zenithal highlight for those of us without airbrushes? I find rattle cans hard to control and grainy/speckly for my liking, and I feel like every time i try slapchop drybrushing it just looks muddy and chalky! even with a dry brush palette and a high quality white paint..
Hi! I'm using rattle cans! Both Vallejo and some generic car ones or even ones from Action which are rather bad XD😂
The trick is to work in nice temperature about 22-28 Celsius degree, both air and rattle can. Also DO NOT rotate rattle can but only models/minis. After painting rotate can upside down and spray couple seconds until no paint is going out. Should do the trick ;)
Got to be honest I preferred the original paint job. I used Contrast paints on a Death Guard army and got a much better result, not necessarily because I am better. I don't like it when speed paints, (Any speed paint) are used and the white of the undercoat is visible through the layers of speed paint and this was true of this model. I note, to highlight and counter this you used regular acrylics. Also the metal did not have the right finish for an iron coarse look. I would have mixed shade into a dark metallic, i.e. lead belcher. Orks don't carry bright and shiny, it's utilitarian and brutal for them. Also the same original metal could have given that shiny edge. Finally, blood spatter on any surface is not blood red for more than a minute or so. The blood darkens and looks almost rusty, so a bright bloody finish does not cut it. I still liked the video because you make me think.
The original paint job was the exact same techniques! But you are right, I did like it better. I edited my video, wrote the script, recorded the script, then realized I accidentally deleted all the video.... so I attempted to repaint it exactly as I had the first time.
So how does mixing in the lighter paint lead to a glaze? I saw a 3 parts speedpaint: medium mixed into what seems like regular paint. Wouldn’t that make it thicker than the speedpaint mixture? My attempts so far have been chalky with this ratio.
Cool. There is some particular reason for using the golden medium in place of the speed paint medium?
.....that is a totally fair question that I don't have an answer for. I suppose because the golden highflow lives on my desk and the speed paint medium is in my drawer!
One thing I dont understand with my Speedpaint(and possibly Contrast paint, but I have not used them in over 8 months), is that it seems a lot more runny that when you apply them Lyla?
In this video, when you applied the Puppy Red to the mini, it looked a lot thicker tham my paint......why?
What colour primer goes best under the colored zenithal base coat?
What light green did you use to mix with the speed paints?
Out of curiosity, why did you decide to paint the hand holding the axe flesh tone instead of continuing the coloration of the metal band to create an artificial hand?
Hi Lyla,
Why did you paint over the mini, as opposed to stripping it first? I’m assuming time was a consideration, here? The end result is still awesome, but I would have been worried that overpainting would ruin finer details. So much so, that I would *have* to strip the mini first.
Guess that’s one of the reasons why you have a successful RUclips channel, and I… watch your videos… 😂
Cheers,
speed paints are very thin, so they don't build up as quickly, meaning I can paint over it without fear! I usually only strip if I have built up texture.
What brush is the fat one you used?
How long did the model take you?
I lit the scraps from a kitbash on fire to "represent my previous character who died in a friendly fire fireball incident" brought the charred plastic in and placed it on the table as a joke saying I had "updated my mini"
What medium was mixed with the two Speed Paints to create the glaze? 2:44
The most painful is finish painting a blood bowl team and instead of picking up a can of Army Painter "Matt Varnish" I picked up Army Painter's "Matt White Undercoat Spray". The less said the better :(
Dumb question, but what is the background music in this video?
You can most likely say Berlishingen. So many sounds in German are SH; sh, sch, ch, the -ig ending. It's practically Parseltoungue. 😃
Those are like the wooden ping pong paddle
Good for kids who just started. But if they really get into it, please by them proper ones
You can spell it as Goetz von Bear lich en.
👍👍👍
could you have just done. A second bright yellow zenathal?
You’re so freaking cute. Zenithal highlights truly are the way
A mention of Gotz without a mention of Guts of Berserk fame??? 😱
Worst, dropped my nearly finished mini onto my full pallette. 😢
noooooo
That is not how my speedpaints work😅 cant figure out why these dont work for me but everybody else loves them
What paint colour and brand are you using to prime the mini? I'm using Citidel Seer grey and my Howling Sand doesn't like it.
some colors are great, while others..... are not. I have found that the blues and greens are gorgeous, but reds and purples are hit and miss. I swear it all comes down to each unique color. However, they are more consistent in color, opacity, etc. than contrast paint!
@@LylaMev I agree with this, the only colour that didn't go well for my Tyranids was the most important one the Howling Sand for their base exoskeleton. The Carribbean Ocean blue I use is great but with everything else due to my colour choice for primer they look darker than shown on Google.
If you don't mind me asking: you used so many layers/glazing steps that there'd hardly be any time saved over a 'conventional' painting technique. What is the benefit of using a 'speed' paint for this over simply making a regular glaze consistency using normal hobby paints?
Like I said, I'm a perfectionist, you definitely don't have to do as many layers! It also depends on how high quality you want the model. My bar for quality is pretty high, so for me, this is faster! But if you're just a speed paint and dry brush kind of person, than this is definitely not faster.
The benefit is that Speedpaints are 'in' right now and videos with them get clicks.
@@LylaMev Thank you for your reply! I had wondered if the speed paints might have specific qualities that made them better for glazing and layering with. I will have a go at your method, albeit in a somewhat reduced number of steps. I need to up the speed of my mini painting and I've tinkered with speedpaints (including but not limited to slapchop) after getting a starter set. However, I really haven't been that satisfied by the results, and usually end up doing additional highlighting/layering steps before I'm satisfied with the results. Unfortunately, this brings the whole painting time up so that it's not a whole lot more efficient than 'regular' painting methods. As a result, my speed paints mostly serve a niche role as slightly more opaque/intense washes and filters. That's a pity because I had high hopes for actual speed increases when I first bought the set.
@@toferkrz946 Well, I imagine there's a bunch of us hobbyists who are still searching for good ways to use these (still relatively new) products, so if that generates clicks for a knowledgeable RUclipsr, I'm happy to oblige.
Gotz is also credited with creating the phrase "kiss my ass"
Watching you rebasecoat that orc was painful.
Two things I'd love to see in your videos. an intro sequence. your intros are a bit all over, a 5 or 10 second splash would help make it feel cohesive. Also, your recording space desperately needs a bit of sounds dampening. Thank you so much for the great video! such a great paint job and excellent tips.
“One or two layers will probably be fine”
If you want to bring shame to your family.
FIRST!?
congrats!
Wow, Götz von Berlichingen in a paint video, nice one. According to a play from 1773 by famous German poet Johann Wolfgang von Goethe named after that knight, he coined the phrase "Kiss my arse" ("Leck' mich am Arsch" in German today - "Leck' mich im Arsch" back then). The emperor's troops besieged his fortress and commanded him to give up, and that was the reply he shouted down from atop his battlements. As you said, "a badass indeed", haha.
Sounds like you call yourself Lyla Meth
Götz is pronounced "Guts", like that other mercenary who lost a hand and replaced it with a metal one...
How 'woke' - a green Ork in a video featuring models that are "overlooked"... 🤣🤣🤣😜
Cats. That is all.
No
no?
Why didn’t you just grab a different model ?
because I had already written and recorded the script for my first attempt!
@@LylaMev You're killing me, Smalls. Only LylaMev, of all youtuber geeks, wouldn't have another orc laying around.
The specific model was from the sponsor, she might have only had the one model.
Have you lost weight? Looking good
