Your videos are the perfect mix of top-tier information and just so bloody funny. Never change, man.
Thank you for making this video, I really love painting videos that encourages people to really take more time painting their miniatures instead of doing it “quickly” or “straight to table” because a good looking model looks good forever
I agree with this to an extent. I love a good painted model but the vast majority of my friends just enjoy the game and if there were not methods like slapchop and such they would have have played with unpainted models which is far worse than quickly painted models. In the 20yrs i have been in this hobby there are order of magnitude more people in that arena than in the quality painting arena and primarily that comes down to time. Those that want quickly painted models more often than not just don't have the time to paint models like this.
There are also an exorbant amount of video's on how to paint models well vs quickly. Yes there are those that are titled as quick but by the end they are just doing the same thing that always do. Its just they state part way through the video "you can stop here for table top or you can continue on with these other steps." So essentially the title about painting quickly is just there to follow the YT algorithm.
The painting phase and 1 or two others are the only ones i have found that when they say table top standards actually stop at that point. Artist Opus is one that kind of fits in this category as their video's typically do not follow the trends and seem to truly just do their own thing. I have actually enjoyed that painting style far greater than slapchop or even Zumikito's style. For me it is the best mix of quality and speed.
2:26 was an instant subscription for me
I found myself talking to my wife the other day and without even thinking about it I said 'Hoooweeeverr' in full Zumikitio style.... Superb vid as always!
Loved the illustrative styling of this mini. Badge thingy is called a tilting plate
Really love this kind of video. I could honestly watch you all day just painting a model and talking through the scheme. Would love to see a lot more of these ❤️
You always do a great job explaining, then illustrated, then applying your instructions. Love watching your videos.
Thank you for taking the time to explain how to make the mini painting experience straightforward for those of us lacking the skills needed
The best part of the day! So happy to see one more video from you!
Just getting into the hobby, and this is the first video I've seen from you. First thing I thought looking at the mini was "wow it looks so metallic! Guy must be using some crazy metallic paint I guess". Then you brought up the point about metallic paint. Mind. Blown.
Love your videos. Entertaining whilst still being informative
This! This is exactly what I've been searching for. I've got the entire Leviathan box set to paint and I was dreading painting the space marines, because I feel they are nearly impossible to make look good, due to the large, boring single colour panels. This looks fantastic though and you've also sold me on non metalic metalics too. Yours look far better in my opinion. Kudos and thanks.
2:30 is timestamp I had to like the video 😂 after starting this hobby you are one of the 2 channels I just enjoy watching instead of just trying to improve
Very entertaining while pushing me to think about how I use to do what you explain. And so many lovely examples!
I'm waiting for my first 40k kit, need all the tips I can get. So I really appreciate these videos.
This kind of clickbait titels I try to avoid with most content creators, but when you do it I press like and watch the video, because your videos are premium stuff and always great for learning ❤️❤️❤️ Heck, if your next video is named 'doodoo' I 'd watch it 🤗
Adorable presentation and perfect mix of humour and usefulness! I totally am your fan, man.
Awesome work! Thank you for your tips!
Love this content. Really provides a different perspective
Loved this video and I'm going to try copying a 2D image onto one of my minis down the line. Overall, great info and the final result was lovely!
Incredible brush control - just amazing work. and, you seem so nice!
I've found the most important advice I've heard is "practice practice practice." It's one thing to know the technique or what you want it to look like in your head, but it means jack if you can't get that picture/technique from your head to your hands.
Great vid Simon. It's diffinately time for me to up my game with light sourcing and variation in the highlights for different areas of the model 💪👌
gorgeous mini, truly awestruck!
This was awesome, really good work. The model is fantastic
Awesome! Love this style.
Your scripts are always amazing, man. Respect as always. :)
Great advice video as always!!
Love this colour 🙌🏼
Sup!
Thank you so much for your videos! You are doing great job!
Entertaining and informative great job !
Hello, thanks for posting this.
That looks so cool
Amazing video, as usual!
Your every video gives me "that one advice" that pushes me forward. Plus, they are so fun to watch!
P.S. I love the way you say "tü dëë"
I would have loved to know which colours you used !
Maybe just in a corner of the screen when you switch
Great video and insightful. Like your no nonsense approach. I wish my paint brushes stayed sharp like that. Would make doing details so much easier.
Great job - thanks
I plan on painting my first miniature soon.i have watched a ton of videos on how to start
actually really informative thanks, especially how the backpack and legs 'fade' away from the visual focus of the face, chest and guns. I'll be using this theory. chur!
"Hey! What you looking at?"
🥵
Dude you got me. I laughed so hard at that.
Great video.
Yes I was looking there when you said hey what are you looking at.
Awesome content, using this advice :)
Amazing!
I think I have learn sometime more from you then any other RUclips channel on painting
On your goblin with the squig under it, the bottom of the helmet is capable of picking up a reflect light. So for example the sun could hit the top of the red squig's head, and those light particles would bounce back up into the bottom of the goblin's helmet, giving you the excuse you need for the additional color.
The Editing was especially good in this
Bro... you're a legend! That is all.
I hit the "subscribe" not for the mini painting tips but because that beard is so epic
Fantastico! 🙃👍
That "why am I not blending it" comment is absolute gold! 😀
I have alot of respect if you prime with white paint as its really hard
Im glad you circled back around for that clevage joke someday 😂 i remember the first time i saw that mini and i said, "now here's a guy who knows how to use highlights"
great video :D i'm going to try and do this myself i just need to figure out what colours were used
Finally a miniature that looks good. For some reason I see everyone do those strange highlights on EVERY sticking out surface and it makes the mini look ridiculous and confusing because that's not how light works. You can't have highlights on every part of a model, even if you put it in sphere with 360 degree lightning.
Yes
Humor is a valuable enhancement when teaching. You do it brilliantly. Doubly so since the information and the delivery are both brilliant.
Holy mother of god. Please make a long video on how you paint an ultramarine like that !!!!
If it helps at all, there is unedited footage (like 4 hours) of the painting process for this guy on my Patreon, but without commentary
3:34 Nice to see another "smashed brush" enjoyer. 👍
Also, would be hilarious to paint the front of the model really well and just leave the back entirely black because it isn't shown on the illustration. xD
Could you show an example using the beiltan defender from the ninth edition codex. The one with all the green shadows
How about using the decal and painting over it to add the shadowing and highlights?
I love the way you explain many things but in this particular case I'd say this 2d illustration example use 3d rules not the way around.
Bro you got me
🎉🎉🎉 Great👏👏👏
Awesome video like always but what are painter sippys? 😂
Your model looks soo good. Better than the art you tried to replicate.
As a person just starting in to warhammer i would love for youtubers to at least add in description what mini they paint or from what box...
Great video. Do you have one on painting wolves and fur? Going from dark to light in a natural and un-natural way?
You madman 😂 you are a god 8:52
Supr video a kanál!
Quite similar to how, "artists don't work with depth, they work with light and shadow". I didnt think that the miniatures size is what causes the overlap between 2D and 3D
When it comes to the "debate" of TMM compared to NMM, my baseline example will forever be the Angron model. I firmly believe you cannot paint Angron with NMM and have it look better than TMM.
Why that one?
@@arinthel The kind of brass you want it to be and the scale.
I feel like it also comes down to personal philosophy. Some of us like to capture a realistic (note: not necessarily *accurate*, because as shown in this video you can be more accurate to your intended image by not using metallics) approach using realistic materials. Specifically, we want to make something come to life with a range of more "real" materials, and for miniature purposes, metallic paints do a decent job of capturing that.
Like the people who will go out and bake dirt from their own lawn to dry, clean and then add mediums to turn it into a permanent mud effect rather than going with the easier approach.
I also think metallics work startlingly well for battle damage.
out of curiosity, how long did it take to paint this single model
I've been working on improving my painting skills, recently with airbrushing and I'm taking longer and longer per individual model
Nuln oil before shades? I had never actually considered that before. It's a preshade right?
I find it funny that the example for the voice acting in the game was a judiciar, the guys who are not allowed to speak in lore
Any advice on painting fur or leather cloaks?
Hi, Zumikito. What bottled paint would you prefer for trickier colors to work? I'm having trouble finding an alternative to my few army painter warpaints and quickshades? I'm having a lot of trouble trying to use them because the consistency and finish doesn't match what I prefer with vallejo/two thin coats.
Hey, there’s a video by 52 Miniatures called “My go to Paints for miniatures” where he explains his reasoning for specific paints and specific brands of paint. It really helped me with what to expect from Gw paint vs AK, scale75, Vallejo etc. He lists other creators who have done similar videos too. Hope this helps.
What would be the colors to use if I wanted to paint space wolves salamanders blood angels black templar and imperial fist
i dont even look your videos for the advices on painting cause im too lazy for that, i just find them entrataining
3:42 I disagree. I mean sure that one muchroom in particular shouldn't hit his helmet. BUT as we use the basing for a bit of story telling we can all imagine that there's a bunch of them glovy shrooms all over that cave floor, further testimonied by your other minies having the same sort of basing.
Me watching painting tutorials with the nearest shop that sells warhammer isn't in my 10 kilometer proximity, and i don't have contact with anyone in real life who KNOWS of Warhammer.
11:31 I still got no clue how some people can just call non-metallic metal "GoOfY CaRtOoN cOlOrInG." It just looks so much better than just slapping paint with shiny-powder on a mini and calling it a day.
(...Although I still use metallic paints cuz I can't NMM for shit.)
Are the paints used included in the patreon video? This looks too damn good.
No, but DM me and I will try to put them together
Hey thanks for the content. You have helped me level up from scrub, to almost not a scrub. I appreciate people like you. Still got some work to do… might make sense to sign up for your patreon for the extra push!
Don't be too hard on yourself! If it's not your job, enjoy the process 😁
@@Zumikito thank you. Sometimes I am very hard on myself.
But I am certainly at the point now where I’m willing to invest that extra time and energy to start the more advanced techniques you showcase. And a lot of your videos helped me grasp those concepts- wet blending being a HUGE one!
I’ve been painting a year now, I feel like I’m right at that point where my minis are gonna be looking great. Just need to continue to be patient, and enjoy the journey. (Cause it is cool to look back and see “wow holy crap, these guys I didn’t even bother layering”)
I could be wrong but it seems like that’s 70% of the battle in learning how to paint. It’s Willingness and patience. I’m starting to see those are things that will take one far in this hobby!
I’d hope to one day paint for money, but your other video really REALLY put into perspective that commission painting aint for the faint of heart!
Excellent video, thank you!! How do you paint the back as it is often overlooked, you don't have any reference from the picture based on where the light is. Did you do it as being mostly in the sadows or did you use the same light directionality on the back as well?
It is significantly darker than the front, yes, but I don't always use just references so I painted it as I thought would be fitting! Thank you
@@Zumikito Thank you!
How would I apply this to Imperial Fists?
I'm using a doodoo technique? Doodie? Dutie?
Noob question: How important is painting in sub assemblies? I always think like "oh no if I assemble it now part X will be hidden behind part Y and I won't be able to paint it" which means my dudes are always semi-assembled and not painted at all. Guess I answered my own question there, thank you, carry on, I'll see myself out.
I entered but... If I win, I’ll have to get the rest of my Ultramarines up to that standard, which will take me a couple of hundred years.
I think tmm can look just as good as nmm, you just have to treat it like you're still painting volumes and not just using tmm as a 1 and done miracle coat
Have you pre highlighted the model with grey? @2:44 on the arm/gun?
Just seeing if thats a step you would recommend?
It's a very light blue - I added a lot of white, so it might looks greyish. I do a lot of back and forth on my minis, so it's nothing unusual. If I feel like it's too light/the reflection is too spread out, I just make it darker again etc.
What blue colors are those?
and one question, what do you think about pinning diferents parts of the miniature for painting separated? Or maybe it is better to build the full miniature before painting? Thank you for you answer Zumikito
It really depends on the model and your expectations. This SM has open and very straight pose so there is no need to prepare subassemblies. But you can. I'm used to keep separated heads/helmets, backpack, arms with guns and shoulder pads, if I'm able to do it because of the model cutting.
@@tomaspekar1389 Thank you for ypur answer :D :D
Coolio. Extra lessons
2d or doody?
Zumikito we are waiting a New video))
Hi, do you do commissions?
What brushes does he use?
Dude what kind of gold recipe did you use??
I really like the emphasis on "credibility" over "reality" After all, art is meant to be exaggerated for visual impact, not technically precise.
