We spend so much time with Rob being a sassy biscuit that we forget he's good at explaining things and making really good content. Great video man
If you don't want me at my sassy you don't deserve me at my explainy
Lol sassy biscuit is a beautiful phrase
We are here, and We are watching you.
YASSSSSSSSS.
Fancy seeing this guy here! I've painted many many hours of models to your videos
I'd been going through a tough time lately. The books were dropping thick and fast and I was having to dedicate extra hours to the painting table just to make sure I wouldn't get evicted from Adepticon. As I was completing my 7th edge highlight of my Glutton's armour plate, my wife told me that I was spending too much time painting and she wasn't sure if she could make it work anymore. I didn't know where to turn. Then I discovered this video, learned the Slap Chop method, and within a day my entire Ogor army was done, and my marriage was saved. Thank you Mr Robert sir. I'll let you know if Adepticon evicts me.
Hahahahahabahababahahababhaa
Lmao
Well obviously you have to go all out on the Gluttons!
So no going back to painting that 7th edge highlight and spending 20 plus hours on a single shield then?
New video Title “How to save a Marriage with SlapChop.”
@@OgreOnSprue Exactly, no shame lol.
This video single-handedly made me want to start painting minis. Not only because it’s an easy entry point, but because it really showed the creativity of the process, and how you could explore it without it being a super daunting thing.
Hope you give it a try. You will be surprised how good it can look. Reaper makes a great "Learn to Paint" kit for new painters.
@@Upsideround I did! Painted a Jade Obelisk Warband, using mostly slapchop. I'm going to explore more layering based techniques with my next project (the free Seraphon). The video worked.
@@0supermoose804 keep up the good work! try all kinds of different shades and colors. You only get better with time and experimentation
As someone with really bad tremors that wasnt an amazing painter before it got worse this technique got me back into painting and I really like the way they turn out. Ty for an awesome video
I have really annoying random physical ‘ tics’. I can be in the middle of painting and everything is going well and boom my shoulders have to adjust and it ruins my work 😂
I find painting while tired and no caffeine for the day settles my tremors before painting. 2am painting sessions are also relaxing
Hey I have tremors too, nice to know there a few of us out there! I really enjoy painting using an airbrush and more "grimdark" style with solvents etc. It's much more fun too !
"This is VAHLEYJO Gray, its a Light Gray, it works very well." Never change, Rob, never change
Oh a celebrity. Hi babe
That pronunciation almost made me turn off the video and flip my desk... xD
I didn't have to scroll far for someone to point this out. Lmao
This video is everything! Finally a painting video that didn’t bore me to death! Robs enthusiasm and explanations are just perfect! All painting tutorials should be like this
Thanks baby
Before this video and the countless other videos singing Slapchop praises, I would stare at my pile of unpainted silver and grey shame... some going back over 35 years. I would chip away at this pile with some models taking a month to paint.... Now with Slapchop my method of choice I just finished painting 8 models in a day and that for me is a miracle. Yes, I still focus on the unimportant and generally invisible details but the basics are completed in no time. Thank you, kind sir... I salute you!
I'm happy for you
Lost it at "Rub it on your hand so people know you paint stuff" 😂 Great content Rob and really useful video!
Its true though. if I want clean hands I wear a latex glove on my left.
This is, somehow, one of the best painting videos I've ever seen for fast armies. Love it.
Thanks Russ
OK for real... more videos like this, Rob... nailed the humor, quality and editing. Well done sir.
On it
I don’t game. Or paint. Yet here I am.
Cute x
You madlad
Me too
find a store near you, they often do games and wouldn’t mind showing you how to play im sure
Better start slappin and choppin and pew pewin on the table top. The game needs you.
i lost it at "vel eh jo". This video is a masterpiece.
Awh thanks xxxx
Come on, its well known how well the English pronounce funny foreign words properly, my father-in-law still pronounces pâté properly, payt, and dont get him started on fa-jeet-as.
Thank you. I've often wished I could learn from the legendary Turkish master painters. Now I can
They are kind and make good tea
I've been using the Slapchop method for years but now I feel relieved and reinvigorated to have a name and wider understanding of what I've been doing. You have changed my life Rob!
Slapchop expressionism is a modernist movement, initially in tweeting and painting, originating in Northern England around the beginning of the 21th century. Its typical trait is to present the world solely from a subjective perspective, distorting it radically for emotional effect in order to evoke moods or ideas by the quickest means possible. Slapchop Expressionist artists have sought to express the meaning of emotional experience rather than physical reality.
I've screencapped this
By a complete coincidence it looks remarkably like the first paragraph of a Wikipedia article on expressionism.
Hahaha, this comment is fkn GOLD!
The SlapChop modern expressionism painting style really comes alive when the mini is engaged in the throes of battle. The emotional response is fully realized by the viewer of such works and not forced. The viewer is given the Freedom to feel one’s true emotions.
This is both legit funny, and legit a good painting method! As someone who really doesn't love painting, and has a 6-month old kid, I don't have a ton of time to do complex painting stuff. I'm excited to try this out! Thanks Rob!
Oh man please tag me in pics
I've always hated how contrast-painted miniatures look. I always wanted to do contrast paints to save time, but I really just don't like how they turn out (when done the way they're "intended"). This method looks more than passable, it looks fantastic! You just opened my world to contrast paints.
I thought this was going to be satire. I still laughed and added the first, and therefore, best paint, Valle-joe 001 white to my collection. I have not been disappointed. I look forward to the next installment of rob the honest painter.
As someone who's not painter, but still wants my miniatures to 'pop', this looks like the perfect compromise for me!
Thank you for the great tutorial!!
Amazing video!!! i have lots of friends ( just 3) who struggle painting their miniatures, this should help them putting those minis on the table and stop ruining my immersion. Thank you Rob!.
I only have 3 friends too!!! We should be friends
@@TheHonestWargamer I thought we couldn`t be friends since im a youtube Thug, BEST DAY EVER!
I used to get white fingers from wetblending everything, taking hours to paint even a Grot and me not being able to take care of my day job as a professional flutist. But now, since discovering #slapchop my fingers are back and so is the flutisting. Thank you slapchok!
This is amazing Rob! You're killing me with the Vallejo pronunciation lol
Hahahah I can't wait for actual painters to get this triggered
@@TheHonestWargamer My soul shrivels up a little bit more every time I hear it said like that. Not that I'm doing the ll = y pronunciation myself, but that J... it hurts.
9:10 "Blanco". 🙂
I'm spanish, and you pronounced it really well, @The Honest Wargamer
I just stumbled across this video after ages of watching a bunch of detailed ways on how to paint minis with different techniques of varying difficulty, depressed and sad that I'll never finish my board game miniatures because of the time an amature like me has to spend painting.
After seeing this, for the first time in a year I finally feel like I want to get painting again, using these paints and this technique!
Explained in a perfectly easy and humorous way! Thank you so so much!
This method is truly amazing. It worked for me immediately and helped me get over my crippling fear of making mistakes painting. Very simple and low skill required. After drybrushing it's basically like filling in a coloring book picture!
Nice, this is the speedpaint secret that has been used for a while now! Before contrasts and speed paints, this was used to fast paint with washes, inks and glazes! Great vid
Brilliant tutorial! I've been doing something similar but with a base of: Wraithbone spray - Aggrax Earthshade all over - Wraithbone drybrush. Slightly warmer base for the contrasts.
Sounds cool!! The muddy chop?
@@TheHonestWargamer The mud chop sounds like a euphemism for butt sex.
I've had a similar method I've used for ghosts before -- black base, grey over-base, wash with Athonian Camoshade, drybrush ghost grey.
Two years later, and this is still good fun! How anyone missed the satire in this I will never know.
I have started painting the back of my hand, even if I haven't touched a mini in weeks.
I gives me massive painting cred at the flgs :)
FLGS CRED
Great to have a video that is friendly to the common painter - thank you Rob!
Happy to help
Watching this again months later now that some folks are hating on the method is so weird lol
The humour isn't exactly subtle, it's obvious you're kidding around. It's a nice fun video that is well presented and helps encourage folks to get their models painted!
I hate painting, but I love Warhammer. This has been the most inspirational video on painting I've ever seen. I may actually paint something now. Thank you, Rob. Sincerely, your humble RUclips Thug.
LETS GET TO IT
Perfect blend of humor and information, that was so good man! Great gift to the community
Glorious!
I too have started to paint on my hands to make sure people know I’m a cool person! In all seriousness though fantastic content here, the plaguemarine especially looks great.
Thanks Alex. I can do paint throughs easy
This tutorial saved my saurus knights… and my life. Thank you slap chop. Thank you Rob.
NEXT STAGE. GLITTER CHOP
@@TheHonestWargamer GLITTER OR DEATH.
Awesome video. Thank you for making such an awesome product so easy for beginners.
You're so welcome!
More in the NEAR future, thank you very much, if you’d be so kind, good sir. Much obliged. 😊 Although not revolutionary, you do present it so well, I’m instantly looking at my printed pile of resin and see the proverbial light at the end of the tunnel, whilst expecting to have a jolly good ride getting there! As some of your illustrious Tube compatriots say: Paint bravely!
Good luck buddy and thanks!!
One of The Best and fun tutorials out there. Wish this was a thing when i started painting two years ago. Thank you for this gem
Happy to help
This technique has changed my paint game for the better. I’m getting better results in a fraction of the time. I’ve watched other videos and applied some variants, but this is where it all started. Thank you. Sincerely.
Rob, thanks for the slapchop vid, the hype is now real.
Get Slapping chop daddy
Who is this handsome man. I’m getting better at painting just by looking at him. Thank you Ron.
THANKS CUTIE
Legitimately laughed out loud a couple of times. I asked what this method was a while back and now I know! Thanks for the great video.
Thats all I can ask for
Thanks for bringing Slapchop to the mainstream dude :)
I saw that you went through a lot of crap with haters online. As the old saying goes, haters hate. They're just jealous gatekeepers that wished that it was them who presented this technique to the world of table top
"Just rub it on your hand so people know you paint stuff. That way people know that you're a cool person."
"Vallejo white is actually a really good paint to use because it's literally 001."
You just kept cracking me up this entire video. Thanks for "simplifying" miniature painting in a way my monkey brain could understand. And you're funny as hell man! Earned a sub from me, cheers!
Anytime babe x
Whenever I feel an overwhelming sense of hopelessness when it comes to painting yet another mini I remember your journey to the monastery and the ancient wisdom you learned there and how you so generously decided to share with the world and I just slap and chop the living hell out of my minis who has been mocking me from their pile of shame for far too long. Thanks!
Awesome. Great resource for painters and memeologists. Very wholesome and great linking to other resources online.
Thanks you babe
Came for the instructional video, subbed for the humor and overall vibe.
How, how……how did you do it, i am speechless 🤷🏻♂️. In all honesty, a really Great video. Gonna try this technique on something myself in the future. Slapchop rules
You can do it!
Mate Subscribed as soon as you said you were taught by monks on a mountain, I’m in a hospital bed and you made my day thank you from Australia
Man I gotta get me a ‘valley-joe’ number one paint!
Excellent video sir, well done.
Its the best
After all the unnecessary controversy decided to check this out rob. It's one of the best and fun painting videos on the internet.
Not something I will use due to being a competitive painter. However this will help my gf and friends break that wall and get into painting.
Okay this may be your greatest ever video Rob.
Really solid stuff and a great easy access video for new players and hobbyists.
As with everything we can tend to over complicate things this I think is an invaluable video and way to paint for new members of the community.
Well done.
Thanks babe
What a great way to start the day. You sir are a scholar and a gentleman.
Thanks babe
Bro this man is a fudging legend, someone give him an Oscar for that!!! Loved the video Rob and thanks to you I to will be using the slap chop technique ✌🏽
Let me see when you do
@@TheHonestWargamer will do m8
Before I used wetbrush and was sad all the time. Then I found this video, and now I'm happy all the time. Thank you Mr. Slapchop Rob
MY PLEASURE BABE
"...Magic Energy Ball... It's pretty intense."
Image caught me off-guard, so I Lol'd.
Great Guy, Best Method. Painting like a Pro via SLAPCHOP , Thank Rob and Grot Gang!
This is easily the greatest painting tutorial/motivating I have ever watched. Thank youuuu
Happy you liked it Johnny
Slapchop changed my life!
now i got time to go out and meet my friends again that i havent seen in years.
Thank you Slapchop!
Bro this is amazing. I consider myself more of a painter/modeller hobbyist but techniques like this are incredible.
Would love to see videos on your 3d printer etc
Love this video, I hope folks get the tongue in cheek joke. A massive help to get noobs painting without fear.
I just wish I'd seen this before Adepticon.
For realz, awesome practical painting guide. You're a hobby hero. 👍
Nice video, love the comedy tone throughout. Not sure why all the internet drama, it's a great video.
I absolutely love that you've brought up the make-up brushes, incredible usefulness vs price, you can really up you painting game by using these as compared to the "drybrushes" offered by g-dub or army painter, I urge anyone who just likes to drybrush and call it a day to use these, you don't need to spend crazy money on just getting stuff #done
Yeah thats the goal hahaha
Makeup brushes are so good that it actually feels insulting to see how much artist Opus wants for their dry brush range
@@stevehall364 You get a nice box 🤣🤣🤣
if you painted that death guard lord you HAVE to do a guide it looks incredible 😮 can't wait to see more painting videos!
If?? Yeah baby. All of them
I'm so glad I found this video. I've been doing army painters speed painting technique for a few months but I'm honestly just garbage at painting and was disappointed with the results. This has given me hope that all my creative ideas can still come to fruition!
Good luck bud
I have struggled with shading to the point that I had stopped enjoying my painting. I love this! I have painted three mini's today using this technique and the new Speed paints. This has helped me so much.
Great video. Loved the slightly tongue in cheekness of it but also that it showed really how simple it is to get a well painted model ready for the tabletop. Looking forward to the next one
I'm glad cause I ain't a pro
I had to check (multiple times) to make sure this wasn't an April Fools video.
Excellent video, and supremely entertaining. Subbed
HEY thanks
Just found this channel and I'm inpressed because it doesn't take you for a fool but at the same as being really good for day one beginners who've never pained a model in their life. I've been in the Warhammer hobby for almost thirty years and I still make mistakes and I'm definitely still learning so this is great. Cheers👏🖖🍻Scott Reede. 😉✊
THANKS BUDDY
Excellent video, great explanation Rob. You’ve inspired me to try this on my 40K orks
works so well on them. ive done the same
Finally a paint tutorial any one can achieve. Thanks mate!!!
Easy peasy. Let's get slapping
Bam! Slap Chop hits critical. Well done, finally a fantastic technique to get things done.
This tutorial just made my day! Well done mate
Omg, like thats all i needed to hear. Thanks
I havent painted models for over 20 years as I was awful but bit the bullet after watching this great video and so far so good my Western legends miniatures (which are tiny and intimidating)are actually coming out semi passable. Thank you for sharing
This is the best video i've seen in a while! I learned new things, for example did not know that vallejo white was the first paint ever before watching this. Thanks Rob!
We grow as a group
Man ! You rock ! I am painting for 10 years but I am not so good. I am definitly testing your technic !! Seems so a bright idea !!
Great video! Rob’s philosophy has convinced me to buy a resin 3D printer. I’m going to be slap chopping every army in AOS.
OMG YES
I’m true to my word! This week I’ve learned how to use the Anycubic Mono X that Rob uses and I’ve printed a 2k Fyreslayers army and most of a Idoneth army. Just need to find a good alternative sculpt for the Allopex. Slap chopping away at the IDK now.
This is perfect and Rob is my hero.
LETS GOOOOI
Yeah, this is such a well produced video. Great painting advice too!
Thanks nick!
Why do I love the humour so much? Maybe it's because of the beers, but maybe it's also because it's funny.
Genuinely interested in giving this a try -- a big barrier for me when painting is set-up time, such a faff getting everything ready to go, but this is such a simple method for some great results.
With myself being new (1yr) to the hobby, and plus having a new 1yo just now learning to walk, getting into trouble, ect, ect, I am pooped at end of day and thought id never get to play a tabletop game or have time for the tabletop/miniture painting hobby.
You good sir have allowed me to continue pursuing the hobby and quickly get decent results without the upper class "i have a airbrush xeno technique " 😆
Yes I know it's a basic result and yes I will try new techniques in the future but atm you have allowed me a average painter at best to get my 1st tabletop game (cursed city) on its way to completion. Thank you and good luck on your future content endeavours good sir 👍
Awh! Have a great life and enjoy the hobby and your time. Congrats on the little one
Fantastic Rob! Thanks for sharing the knowledge of the #slapchop. This will carry me a long way to completing a backlog of minis so I can get playing some AOS!
Be like the monks
I've always been struggling to understand how dry brushing works, but until youtube I never even knew what the effect was and how it was supposed to be done.
And this video does it in exactly the kind of detail I needed to understand it, because most tend to brush over it (ha ha).
Subbed for slapchop! Started doing similar years ago, but at the time, had to use inks or thinned paints. This is SO much better.
Let us know how it goes
Ok my god this is cool! If been a traditional artist for years and when my hubby and I got into DnD a little over a year ago I started painting minis, but struggled with the techniques. He saw this and showed me and I NEED to try this method! Thank you for this video!!!
That is awesome!
Dude, this was brilliant!! I’m gonna have to try this on some new project. Thanks for sharing. Cheers!
HAPPY TO HELP YOU BABE
It’s almost finished looking with just the drybrush. Smoooooth.
thats my favourite stage
Nice 👍👍
Duncan!!!!
@@TheHonestWargamer dang props from The Paint Father himself! Nice!
Love it!
i see a slap-chop Nighthunt army in my future! this will help me against all my enemies and their lies!
Thanks honest warpainter!
GUYYYY YASS
Wow! 400 comments! Thank you for everything you do Rob! This was the first non-standard method taught to me at a FLGS a long time ago, with watered down paints and inks. I love it because I can really appreciate the sculpts revealed in the dry brushing. I’ve used just white and found if the paint is watered down I can get the grey effect and then the edge with a bit more paint but it’s too variable to so I’ll use the grey paint and second white from now on. Also, as I’ve gotten older and my eyesight is, well, I find it much easier to see the details and paint “in the lines”. Love this, love you, and Nathan and the rest!
OH MAN THANKS. love ya back
Great to see you dipping your toe into painting vids, Rob! #JustGetEmDone
Thanks buddy
8:24 That MERP cover took me by surprise... Love it!
Amazing stuff! Excited to see more
Thanks a ton!
Wonderful video! May the RUclips algorithm bless it!
I pray we catch the winds
This is such an amazing tutorial. You really are evolving in all aspects of this hobby. Congrats 💪💪💪
Lots of love from Greece
MALAKA
Thanks a lot, your video help me a lot in my returning painting miniatures after a long time ^^
So happy for you. Have a great time
Nice to see you branching out mate. Miniatures look rad. I’m a competitive gamer and have always struggled with painting also. These simple steps have really broken it down into manageable steps. I’m assembling a soulblight army which I believe this will work great for. Thanks for your content man.
Found this one in my feed and made me want to give mini painting another go.
Have a great timr
You deserve full painting credits on your tournament sheet. Excellent contrast, great method.
Still get kicked out of acon cause I'd wanna use an app
