Hey, I just opened my first ever merch store. You can grab sweet cutting mats, mugs, t-shirts, hoodies, and a patch for your blue jean vest! Check it out: miniac.bigcartel.com/
I love you scott, such an inspiration. You were the main channel i watched when i was just thinking about getting into the hobby. Thank you for all you do for this hobby and the community
I'm always mesmerized by how steady you are -- NOT your hand, but your brush tip. It's like a blade - using the same brush brand, my brush starts to bend and bow. I think something most youtuber painters don't cover is pressure and how you draw the brush over the model. Interesting stuff.
This is my favorite painting channel by a longshot. Your teaching skills, video production values, over all skill, and the death metal theme are top notch. The passion you have for this shows. Would you consider doing some less traditional Death Guard (or nurgle anything) paint schemes?
The production value of these videos is just insane my man, really really good. If you keep up this standard of video and keep the pace you're at now I can see you becoming one of the biggest mini based channels. The effort doesn't go missed. I'd love it if you did a video on the new Primaris marines and how you paint them!
'Eavy Metal artists, as viewed by 12-year old me in the early 90s, are what got me into this hobby, and were the standard and style to which I always aspired. More than 25 years later, and after a more than 15 year break from the hobby, this hasn't changed. So awesome to see a modern, talented miniature artist emulating these amazing paintjobs from my youth. Cheers, awesome video, as always!
Going to start painting my Death Gaurd collection when I get home using this guide, cant wait to see them done! Just ordered the Miniac shirt too! Thanks again dude!
I just decided a few days ago that I was going to get back into this hobby. I am very glad that I stumbled upon your channel. Your tutorials are excellent!
So I just found your channel a couple weeks ago because of this video. After going through and watching a bunch of your old stuff, including the Q&A, I gotta say, I like the new aesthetic. PAINT MORE MINIS!
Damn man, drilling out your gun barrel with a Dremmel. I know if I tried that shit, I'd slip, and it would be on the most expensive, most OOP, model possible.
You are the best mini painting youtuber. You are obviously intelligent and your narration is unambiguous. And the best part is, you are actually funny. I can't stand most youtubers who think they're funny and they are just annoying. Thanks for doing all this for us.
You did an amazing job with this; no matter how many times I see the additional painted on scratches and battle damage done well with the light highlight for that 3D effect, it always look so awesome. I'd say you did a spot on job (despite the misadventures of base coating) of getting this to look like it was painted by a member of the 'Eavy Metal team. GW and 'Eavy Metal sure do love them some edge highlighting, so much so that in many of the new paint jobs it looks like they've eliminated other types of highlighting in favor of it. If anyone is going to be doing a lot of lining and edge highlighting, I highly recommend buying an actual liner brush; they have nice long, thing bristles that will make your life so much easier and make you hate yourself less when lining and edge highlighting. P.S. "Nurgley Bulbous Bits" should totally be the name of a new paint color.
Everything about your videos is great. Great style, great production, great explanations, and great painting. You even picked the best looking deathguard model IMHO. You deserve way more subs! Also for the next 'eavy metal you should do a primaris marine in imperial fists or crimson fists colors.
Hahaha dude you made me crack up with that paint mistake! In the end though your plague marine ended up better than those they show in the webpage. And I found this video just in time cuz I'm cutting my plague marines off the sprue and preparing to paint them, I'm sure gonna take some tips from you, cheers and keep up the awesome work!
Nurgle's rot is thick and green, the tone i used reddish brown and is very thin making it ideal for adding color nuance slowly without making it textured. Ryza Rust would be a closer comparison but I didn't want to buy it!
Same! I just got back into warhammer again after college and someone at the source is beginning to recognize me because I had to go get new paint frequently
@@Kalron9 bad time to be getting back into GW products unfortunately, they are ideological and moral elitists. look up the archwarhammer controversy if you want to know more
Wait!? You're a Corridor fan as well? So if I painted up a pink/teal/yellow Ghostkeel with the Corridor logo and D's waifu on the side, you'd get every reference?
Hey man! Great video! I'm just getting back to painting and stumbled upon this video/your channel, and I'm really impressed by the quality man! Keep up the great work, really inspiring and cool video!
Great video. I know the dual purchase pain as I purchased a second Imperial Primer rather than Abaddon Black recently. You've earned yourself a sub. Looking forward to going through your previous videos.
I have been using a pipette to thin my paints, more control and less chance of contamination of colors. I use distilled water instead of regular tap water. I find it does make a difference imo
Stephen Mitchell depends on the pipette I guess. I find I have a lot more flexibility with dilution with my brush. the pipette shown in this video thins paint way too much for basecoating with a single drop.
I'm just getting around to doing the Death Guard from the box set. They are incredible miniatures, and Tzeentch is going to be upset with me for doing them. I have to say that I think I like the Deathworld Forest color better than the Death Guard green. The browner tone looks more decayed than the pastel green of the Death Guard color. It also helps to visualize the fluff related transition of the Death Guard from a cleaner white/gray armor to the decayed Deathworld color. You did a lot of work on this mini, and I really like the end result. Great job Sir!
Great video and tutorial man, your production quality is great. Love how you show the mini 360 degrees every time you finish a step. This is what I would love to see from WH TV sometimes. Take it up a notch. Hope you can tackle the rest of the ten chapters, really would love to see Blood Angels since they are my jam and see you do white scars and imperial fists. What are all the brushes you used for the edge highlighting that point on it is killer. Please keep making tutorials when you can. Great job.
I wouldn't feel bad about your choice of colors. In fact, the official painting guide in the "Know No Fear" starter set uses Deathworld Forest, NOT Death Guard Green! So that's what I plan to use, that or the Vallejo equivalent "Heavy Khaki".
I don't know if this is going to be a "Duh..." question or not, but how do you decide how you're going to mix colors? What is your particular process for deciding what colors to mix and how much?
Maybe a bit too late, but lovely painting! More to the point about "wrong" green, I'm looking for a alternate scheme for my own Death Guard and I much prefer this brownish green over the official colour. Any pointers as to what citadel colour would match your brownish green colour?
Awesome work. Funny was just at that store yesterday for Xenos 1. Never been there before. Hardly spend time on my minis least all bases. Though do like the color code my units and paint the rims in identifiable colors. Leaving painting shoulder and other marking for in-game accomplishments and fluff. Like painting a arm in opponents's color scheme after the model survives 4 rounds of combat denying their win . Alternative to hard setting the basing material, try silicone or polyurethane. Not much slower than working with PVA and maybe less steps.
Silicone is Industrial/DIY sealant or adhesives. Such as caulking. Works good for gap filling too. Some brands can be water down and brushed on. Cold water = longer working time. 1 USD a tube. Polyurethane is also Industrial/DIY surface coating. Also brushed on. Rock hard when dried. 27 USD a can. At Outpost 2000 & Beyond every Sunday and have my crafting supplies with me if like to see example.
When I first started watching the video, I was thinking man, Miniac is pretty cutting edge, always thinking outside the box with paint color schemes. Use Death Guard Green to paint Death Guard? No way, too obvious! Your Deathworld forest Plague Marine came out looking great anyway. Nice job!
Ah, you remembered! A possible suggestion would be to paint a Primaris DA. With the new codex, I've seen and met some new DA players. The Primaris models are pretty fun to paint and offer something a bit different with a larger scale and more details. Mistakes stand out more, but overall I think they look better. I look forward to checking out your take on the 1st Legion. For the Lion!!!!!
Nice work! Love the clean and neat edge highlighting. I used to paint like that, but since i'm getting older i' m losing my steady hand (family flaw), so a bit jealous ;-) Still very nice to watch someone painting at this level!
I watched you video on how to not be a newb painter...and after watching this informative and entertaining video...I felt I had no choice but to sub! Hope to see more of your Maniac content! Keep up the good work!!
Not crazy on the 'Eavy Metal style but definitely did a great job and like this green even if it wasn't as you planned, makes it look a little dirtier, which fits more.
That Plague Marine looks fantastic. I love how you didn't edit out your mistakes and start over. You just rolled with it. I'm actually considering your paint scheme with my marines. I'm curious what it would look like next to one painted with Death Guard Green (which I have). If the differences weren't overwhelming it could add some variety to a squad. Oh and what band is playing the riff after "Paint more Minis!"?
In your brush care video, you said not to get paint in the bottom 50% of your brush so it doesn't get into the ferrule. But in this video, you're mixing the paint with a brush. Do you have a dedicated brush for mixing paints, or can you just rinse off the brush afterwards without any problems?
Hi Miniac, first, thanks for your tutorials, it helps a great deal to gather motivation to PAINT MORE MINIS. Also I was wondering, would it in your opinion be pertinent to use an oil wash (Van Dyke brown for an example) to underline the whole miniature after having painted it (thus skipping the shadow underlining step) ?
These videos are awesome! What color would you use to panel line the black armor on the Deathwatch marines? Was possibly wanting to try this technique for some of my Kill Team guys.

not sure if you noticed you showed leadbelcher and said iron breaker silver 7:35
You should play the "PAINT MORE MINIS" clip at a random time in the middle of each of your videos to put a nice spook on us viewers.
I love you scott, such an inspiration. You were the main channel i watched when i was just thinking about getting into the hobby. Thank you for all you do for this hobby and the community

Joker Faced Thanks for the nice comments! I probably won't hit up the same chapter twice :(
Brutal. D:<
Well, anything with some good old decaying filth would be nice.
I'll be watching regardless of what you paint. Thanks for the reply.
Loving the corridor T great vid. Can't get enough of deathgaurd.
I come back to watch this video every couple months.. I love that Death Guard model and your paint job is superb :-)
ARescueToaster this is the one with the tentacle dick right? 😏

Thanks for the kind words! Consistency is the most difficult thing, haha. I will be doing a primaris space marine video as well in a similar format.

The 360 interim shots really help show how each step affects the finish and shows what to look for while working on said step. Thanks!
I'm glad they do!
Gotta say man, the first music you used in this tutorial fits the video style so well!! It's so relaxing and calm.
One of favorite RUclips videos, ever... thank you
You make everything look so doable and satisfying
Going to start painting my Death Gaurd collection when I get home using this guide, cant wait to see them done! Just ordered the Miniac shirt too! Thanks again dude!
Krakenslayer93 thanks, my man! Good luck!

XnFM I'm hardcore dude
Rock on!!! That looks great. I love the ol' Eavy Metal style. Reminds me of the '90s
Love these tutorials! Really helpful! Papa Nurgle should be pleased.
an oldie but goodie video. Videos where you paint specific/ challenging minis are something that i'd love to see more of :D
nice idea with the wash btw!
I just got a bunch of deathguard guys for killteam , however I’m doing them in the 30k colors of white with green trim .
Looks great! Looking forward to the rest of the series coming out!
You are the best mini painting youtuber. You are obviously intelligent and your narration is unambiguous. And the best part is, you are actually funny. I can't stand most youtubers who think they're funny and they are just annoying.
Thanks for doing all this for us.
The death guard green mix up KILLED me hahaha
Instant subscribe. This is the first video I've seen on this channel, love the style of the paint job and the video itself.
Can't wait to watch more!
fuse625151 let me know if my other vids are any good!
Great paint and video
another steb by step to create piece of art ! thank u !

P.S.
"Nurgley Bulbous Bits" should totally be the name of a new paint color.
That would be an excellent paint name!
By far the most interesting tutorial on Death Guard 8ED. Very impressing, subscribing now.
Your Basing Part of the miniature reminded me a lot of Luke Towan's techniques for dioramas :)
Brilliant Video and really good painting!
I may have been a bit inspired ;)
Luke Towan's videos are the best!!
Nice video, love the 'eavy metal style.
Everything about your videos is great. Great style, great production, great explanations, and great painting. You even picked the best looking deathguard model IMHO. You deserve way more subs!
Also for the next 'eavy metal you should do a primaris marine in imperial fists or crimson fists colors.
Thanks for the kind words! My next 'eavy metal marines video will definitely be painting a primaris space marine :)
Outstanding, Scott!!
Thanks, jacob! :)
YES!!! been waiting for your next video and this just makes the wait worth it :D
I'm glad it was worth it. It can take me a bit to release a video sometimes.
With the production you put into your vids i can understand why it takes time. Keep up the solid work!
that gold edge highlighting is the nuts!
Please make more of these i love these!!!!
nice to hear you are always tidying up your highlights, i thought i was just cak handed.
Hahaha dude you made me crack up with that paint mistake! In the end though your plague marine ended up better than those they show in the webpage. And I found this video just in time cuz I'm cutting my plague marines off the sprue and preparing to paint them, I'm sure gonna take some tips from you, cheers and keep up the awesome work!
Erreth Akbé I'm glad you found the video useful! good luck with your Marines!
love the hoof/foot
very nice!!!!! great work!
Ironically, for when you were doing the rust/rot. GW makes a technical paint named 'Nurgle Rot' that dropped with the new edition. It's very solid.
Nurgle's rot is thick and green, the tone i used reddish brown and is very thin making it ideal for adding color nuance slowly without making it textured. Ryza Rust would be a closer comparison but I didn't want to buy it!
Love this series, great work👍🏻
hey, the source is my local game store too, been going there since i was a kid.
Same! I just got back into warhammer again after college and someone at the source is beginning to recognize me because I had to go get new paint frequently
@@Kalron9 bad time to be getting back into GW products unfortunately, they are ideological and moral elitists. look up the archwarhammer controversy if you want to know more
Wait!? You're a Corridor fan as well? So if I painted up a pink/teal/yellow Ghostkeel with the Corridor logo and D's waifu on the side, you'd get every reference?
Was just gonna comment the same thing
Excellent. great work on the new hotness :)
Chestnut ink! WoooW! Glad to see someone is painting 'Old School' too :D
You're making me jealous with those sick skills. Keep up the good work!
You can do it too!
I came here for the intro and it's sounds.
I love it.
Also miniac, you can achieve the same effect on edge highlighting the armour by using ogryn camo.
dude awsome love the corridor tee
Great video. Very enjoyable to watch and loving the end result!
Thanks, dude!
3!
Take notes...this is 100|% miniature painting gold. I cant wait for more.
Damn fine work my man
Hey man! Great video!
I'm just getting back to painting and stumbled upon this video/your channel, and I'm really impressed by the quality man! Keep up the great work, really inspiring and cool video!
Thanks for the kind words!
I usually have two water containers, one small clean water jar with an eyedropper for thinning, and one brush rinser.
Jeremie Bonamant Teboul has consistently been amazing for years. Great painter.
Great video. I know the dual purchase pain as I purchased a second Imperial Primer rather than Abaddon Black recently. You've earned yourself a sub. Looking forward to going through your previous videos.
Let me know if they're any good :)
Awesome video!

This is great - subbed. I'd really like to see an 'eavy metal style black armour, especially Iron Hands.

Nikolas Obrenovic I got some good news for you
Miniac hahaha whats that? primaris marines eavy metal style?
Also your skills have increased a lot. very clean.
Nikolas Obrenovic something red this way comes!
Miniac awesome cant wait :)
love the corridor digital shirt
That is freakin awesome!!!
You're a brave man, drilling out the barrel with a powered Dremel! I'd use a pin vice or hand-turn the chuck. :p
Always have trouble painting the fine lines next to the paint i have applied into recesses/ borders, get into a cycle of miniscule corrections
Great Video!
Looks cool mate defo dose not matter about the shade of green you used i think it looks fine and different to other peoples
I wouldn't feel bad about your choice of colors. In fact, the official painting guide in the "Know No Fear" starter set uses Deathworld Forest, NOT Death Guard Green! So that's what I plan to use, that or the Vallejo equivalent "Heavy Khaki".
Also, first highlight is "Ogryn Camo" and second is "Krieg Khaki". Hope this helps someone.
I don't know if this is going to be a "Duh..." question or not, but how do you decide how you're going to mix colors? What is your particular process for deciding what colors to mix and how much?
instead of edge highlighting you could drybrush with something like nurgling green
Maybe a bit too late, but lovely painting! More to the point about "wrong" green, I'm looking for a alternate scheme for my own Death Guard and I much prefer this brownish green over the official colour. Any pointers as to what citadel colour would match your brownish green colour?
Dude, what a difference from then and now... but I do still enjoy this style. There's a lot of information here that gets put 'under the rug' nowadays
Seeing this made me go to me LGS and buy the starter set! Goodbye life and hello minipainting!
Allan Cox RIP free time

The marine is already all painted up! I painted Lt. Zakarias, so a primaris marine :)
Get outta my head man!! Can't wait to see how it turned out!
Nice work! Love the clean and neat edge highlighting. I used to paint like that, but since i'm getting older i' m losing my steady hand (family flaw), so a bit jealous ;-) Still very nice to watch someone painting at this level!
Patrick Berlemon I'm sure the stuff you paint is still great!
Miniac 😏👍
Dude... you're rad. Just incredible rad 🤟
Does someone recognise the background music from the channel @HistoriaCivilis 'the battle of Munda'?
5:57 LOL, words are hard sometimes!!!
Great video! Very insightful. Would love too see a thousand sons video.
I watched you video on how to not be a newb painter...and after watching this informative and entertaining video...I felt I had no choice but to sub!
Hope to see more of your Maniac content! Keep up the good work!!
Good to have you!
Awesome!!!
nice woek miniac ! cool and long life man! 🤘😋👍
Not crazy on the 'Eavy Metal style but definitely did a great job and like this green even if it wasn't as you planned, makes it look a little dirtier, which fits more.
I appreciate the kind words!
I’m painting death guard right now and have come back to this vid 5 times.
This is the first time I've heard anyone has called death guard sexy
Nice shirt man!
That Plague Marine looks fantastic. I love how you didn't edit out your mistakes and start over. You just rolled with it. I'm actually considering your paint scheme with my marines. I'm curious what it would look like next to one painted with Death Guard Green (which I have). If the differences weren't overwhelming it could add some variety to a squad. Oh and what band is playing the riff after "Paint more Minis!"?
It's a song out of YT's free musical library. Here's the full version: ruclips.net/video/6xdgooP3fBc/видео.html
Cool, I wish there was a devil horn emoji. Nice work Miniac, your vids continue to inspire my painting.
So Cal Astarte 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Maybe my Dark Angels are next? Don't forget the Warpstone Glow!
In your brush care video, you said not to get paint in the bottom 50% of your brush so it doesn't get into the ferrule. But in this video, you're mixing the paint with a brush. Do you have a dedicated brush for mixing paints, or can you just rinse off the brush afterwards without any problems?
great vid, thanks for making it. What is the circular flexible sandpaper like tube you used to sand curved surfaces?
Lucien967 a flexible sanding stick. But it's not round, it's flat on both sides
Awesome video dude. You've got another sub :)
crisandm1016 thanks!
make that 2!
Hi Miniac, first, thanks for your tutorials, it helps a great deal to gather motivation to PAINT MORE MINIS.
Also I was wondering, would it in your opinion be pertinent to use an oil wash (Van Dyke brown for an example) to underline the whole miniature after having painted it (thus skipping the shadow underlining step) ?
I've never messed around with enamel or oil washes, but maybe that would be best!
At 7:42 you said ironbreaker Silver but the picture 2 seconds before that showed leadbelcher
This is super 🤘
These videos are awesome! What color would you use to panel line the black armor on the Deathwatch marines? Was possibly wanting to try this technique for some of my Kill Team guys.
you should put the list of paints in the description would be awesome help thx
I try to mix various Vallejo paints and ended up just getting Citadel death guard green.
MORE OF DEATH GUARD PAINT VIDEOS PLEASE!!!
