Currently filing off the face off of a metal mini (I have no dremel and I must ~scream~ file). Hobby videos like this keep me going. Thanks for the company!
Yay! I've wanted to see the Great War Frintch for while!!! Thank you! Excellent tutorial, tips, and history/links (as usual)! LOL @ "put the juice in the coconut"!
Watching this video gave me a renewed appreciation for the French infantry as well as them being the main inspiration GW took in designing the Death Korps of Krieg.
Absolutely superb job here, Sledge ol' chap! I adore these miniatures and this uniform (impractical though it might seem at first glance!) and your paint job really does it justice!
Brilliant as usual you talented bugger! Particularly love the mud staining, looks so realistic. I’m now a fan of Instar varnish too. I’ll be using Sledge Juice on my Warlord Dads Army crew soon,it offers a more subtle,smoother shade than others I’ve tried. Well done!
My son was in town today and he got the raw ingredients for sonic tonic and also picked up some Pro acryl washes too. I'm interested to see if they're as good as the rest of the range. Thanks for the insightful video and it's good to see you back painting.
I've watched this video a couple times by now and I kind of think about redoing my minis - they also were to be painted as horizon blue (with pants in different shade), but result was underwhelming. Well, practice makes a master
These WGA minis are really good, plastic figures today are incredibly well detailed. I'vent never been a WWI uniforms' fan , perhaps bcz these ones seems a bit "goofy" respect some of WWII 's ones, such as the US Marines or '43 model, but I've to say that the colours are really Ok, when you paint a monochrome uniform, the different parts had to have diverse colours' gradations, to avoid the "toy soldiers"' effect.
C'est Magnifique! He looks absolutely fantastic. Cheers! (Also it seems weird to mix something in the coconut and not include lime, but I trust your process)
For this blue uniform I wonder what it would look like if you shaded with a diluted blue constrast or speed paint instead. it would make the uniform pop a little more, but you would need to be careful as you would want to shade with marine juice for the non-blue parts. I know it it outside the purpose of the video, as you attempting speed and simplicity, but just a thought I wanted to bring up.
You can, though I've never really felt it was necessary. It's very rare that it'll smudge off unless you're deliberately rubbing your thumb over your miniatures when you pick them up!
Thank you for doing this, I've got my eye on these Great War models from Wargames Atlantic. Will you do Germans, British, Russian too? and what did you use for the dirty, dusty look?. Great work looks really good.
The dusty effect is achieved during the basing stage; take a look in the description for colours and tips there. I've also already done Great War British, and there's more on the horizon as I find time.
So pumped you finally did WW1 French uniforms. Do you test your colors before you start a figure and filming. Your paint color choice are always AWSOME. I tried several blue colors on French uniforms but your choice is killer.
Hello young Skywalker!!! Great video as always! Question for you... have you ever thought about doing a video of your "Top Ten (or twelve) Go To Paints"? I know all miniatures vary and it's a personal choice with colors... BUT, I think it would be very interesting what you have to say and why these are your go to paints! - Tom
Gorrrr... not asking me anything difficult, then! 🤣 Honestly, my Top Ten would change from day to day, depending on what I was painting! I get what you mean about a broadly applicable set of super-useful paints, though. Might be worth exploring! Go get yourself some German Grey if you haven't already, though! ✌ Spoiler warning: That'd be top of any list!
Sorry, noob question!… for the new marine juice (which I’m seeing recommended everywhere!), which dark tone is it? New fanatic or old quick shade? Thanks 😊
Army Painter says that the Fanatic *washes* haven't changed formulation, but they've been repacked to come in line with the other bottles. Either way, it shouldn't matter!
@@SonicSledgehammerStudio great to know. May I be so bold as to recommend reading material? Setting the east ablaze by Peter Hopkirk, great book on the russian civil war, central asia and siberia. Been getting into back of beyond so its something that might interest you.

Now I have to paint a box. Damn you and your sonic tonic!

Oh lord... you're a braver man than I!

Great. Love to see more WW1 tutorials. Always great tutorial!!!
Thanks
Awesome Frenchman, you have painted my friend.

Definitely saving this one for when I get around to some Hairy Ones myself. Gorgeous!
I like this tutorial because I was not sure how to paint WWI French Infantry. Thanks for sharing this and the model looks great!

Great video! I like the variety of blue grey.
Very nice. Love all the blues.

Such a great kit, and an amazing paint job

A Very Special Thank you , Troy .

Looks good! Turned out nice before he started to surrender.
You put the lime in the coconut and drank em bo up.... 😁
Alright. If I must. You broke me. I'll get it done. :)
Another great video buddy is there any British in Burma paint guides on your channel I have looked and can’t seam to find anything.
Thank you for another enjoyable vid, and a great looking figure. May I ask whether you can varnish over the pencil highlighting?
You can, though I've never really felt it was necessary. It's very rare that it'll smudge off unless you're deliberately rubbing your thumb over your miniatures when you pick them up!
Thank you for taking the time to reply!

Sonic Tonic
Will you make a guide for the new Bolt action US infantry winter models?
Whenever they're available!

Nice Krieg lol. I wonder how they scale to the GW model .
No gas masks though?
@@garesonc9672there are a bunch of options for heads in that kit, including gas masks (2 styles IIRC).
Pour la France !
Viva la France
Plan on doing one for russian uniforms of ww1?
Eventually! Germans first, though.
