    I'm blown away at the quality of these sculpts. A whole army for $150 is pretty stinking good. It looks like they're releasing them as GW does. I'm curious to see how they handle the other factions

    I follow a lot of painters, but I find you hit the perfect balance of quality and speed, using all sorts of available tools to make amazing tabletop minis.
    You also make me want to go back to collecting empire even with a pile of guard to paint.

    Man I've been painting a highlands miniatures empire army and I loved the sculpts! Altho I downscaled them to 90% to fit in size with old gw sculpts. Made those eyes even more challenging!

    Classic Talabheim colour scheme. Great job. Stippling on the metal over speed paint metalic looks senstional. Quick question: why not just finish with satin varnish straight up?

    Nice job! I’m also painting an empire army, or about to anyway. I’m genuinely pretty impressed with the result. Do you know about how long the miniature took? I’d likely batch paint in sets of 10 but I’m hoping each model will average about 1 hour

    Would you mind telling the resin used and the mixing ratio in case it’s a mix? :)

      @col.festus  4 месяца назад

      This is Siraya tech abs like mixed 4:1 with tenacious obsidian. I’ll likely be moving away from this mix as Phrozen is launching a new gaming resin… and it’s AMAZING. Can see my quick thoughts on the short I posted

    • @nomusenopaint
      @nomusenopaint 4 месяца назад +1

      Thank you very much!! The varnish you used is by Vantage Modelling Solutions? Never heard of it at least here in Europe. I really struggle to find a premixed varnish that just hits the sweet spot between satin and matte. The satins tend tube very glossy I think.

    Would you recommend gray primer over white ?

    • @col.festus
      @col.festus  4 месяца назад

      I like the grey primer mainly cause I can do any color from it. Also stynyl rez grey for some reason comes out ultra smooth, also making it great if speed paints.

    • @MrZantal
      @MrZantal 4 дня назад

      I hear stynyl rez​ is dense. What nozzle are you using when you paint it with aero ? Or maybe you dilute it ? @@col.festus

    Hi, awesome tutorial and very nice fast painting (from my point of view) :). Are you mixing the paints with water or use fresh from the bottle? Or maybe you use a wet palette?

    • @col.festus
      @col.festus  4 месяца назад +1

      all my paints are prepped on the wet pallet except for the speed paints. Those I use from the new army painter wet pallet wells made for speed paint.
