Hey: if the word is gimmicky but still gets people to paint minis, then it is cool by me! Sometimes we get snobbish about terminology or the way things are done, but we all can agree that more minis painted makes the hobby better for everyone involved, right!?
Couldn't agree more, Slapchop is just the gimmick name of the moment, a lot of us have been doing it for years already, washing and glazing, and now contrast paints just make it easier
@@rushthewash that’s very true tho it’s not the best or most glamorous description ever. Kinda makes me think I’m in for a heavy slap across the mouth.
I have a new method called zippity doo dah. You use thinned paints to create shifts in tone and make smooth transitions. 😅 I also came up with Rin Tin Tin. It’s using nonmetallic paints to create a metallic look. 😊

Completamente cierto que no es nuevo y realmente me revolvio el estomago cuando se esta diciendo que lo invento un tipo hace poco , como dijiste antes de que se sacaran contrast y demas yo mismo use esas tecnicas con tintas para ilustracion ,en fin un abrazo amigo
@@rushthewash si tienes razon lo que me calienta es que es una tecnica artistica que existe desde "siempre" la palabra que se use pues no me importa mucho
@@warlocklair7998 si se me ha entendido que estoy reclamando la invencion ,no es asi,es una tecnica pictorica descubierta hace como minimo trescientos años atras ,lo que me joroba es que alguien se lo atribuya por ponerle un nombre nuevo.
I have a favourite, which is Liquitex Professional Glazing Medium: amzn.to/44ob0wp It has a very good consistency that is easy to work with and still able to be diluted.
Yes: soft plastic is very difficult to clean with blades or files. For miniatures like the ones you get on the new Heroquest and other boardgames, a soldering iron or wood engraver is the best option.
About 10 years ago I met an amazing painter when I lived in Lexington, Kentucky, USA. He used whites and browns to pre-shade his minis before painting. I didn't fully understand the method until recently when all these contrast and speed painting videos started being produced. So, I completely understand how it seems like a new thing, but it's basically an old technique that's become a fad. However, I can't argue with the results.
I would argue that your method of dry brushing is wrong. By using a paper towel, all of your wet media is lost. -- You're effectively CAUSING the 'chalky' 'dusty' look you're getting. If you removed your excess on your hand or a nonabsorbent surface, you'd get cleaner results. The bottom line, "Dry brushing" is not supposed to be dry.
I agree: it is better to use a cardboard or wood plank for removing paint. I use napkins because they are what I have around, not because they are the best option. Notice that the dusty looking examples shown from the Genestealers are NOT from drybrushing, but rattlecan accidents from spraying under the wrong conditions.

The coolest kids do things before they get popular 😉
Can I give you a hug? And a kiss? First time I have been called "cool" in years!
Thank you for being one of the few out there saying that this isn't a new technique. It's a good technique, but not new or groundbreaking.
I mean... my first video is from 2017 (it is private now), so how am I supposed to call it new?
Now THIS is the Slapchop video I've been waiting for!
The fact I haven't made this video this in years is the most stupid thing ever in the history of RUclips...

Well, at least now we can explain it under one single word. 😀

HAHAHA!
Now I have the Batman and Robin meme in my head:
"I am going to slapchop my marines..."
"It is called EN GRISAILLE!"

Damn! GIVE THIS MAN THREE RUclips CHANNELS AND SIX PATREONS!
@@rushthewash 😂👍🎉🎉🎉
Really nice video for beginners ! Well done Mr Miguel !
The more people getting their minis painted, the better all of our games will be!
Thank you for the content and sharing.
Thanks for watching and commenting! :)

Awesome! If it helps, it is all I needed for it to be! Glad it did!
Excellent video. Olé. I am not surprised that you are a teacher 😉
My kids are surprised tho! Hahaha!

Al fin y al cabo no es quién lo inventa, sino quien lo patenta. El nombre es pegadizo y está aquí para quedarse. Es lo que hay.

Yo invente la rueda y no lo estoy presuminedo jajaja

@@hectorfr que va mi estimado Héctor digo que estoy completamente de acuerdo con lo que mencionaste
What type of medium one must use? It seems you use glazing medium?
I have a favourite, which is Liquitex Professional Glazing Medium:
amzn.to/44ob0wp
It has a very good consistency that is easy to work with and still able to be diluted.
it'll always be rush the wash to me bro
If "Slapchop" gets more people painting, I absolutely support that name!
You seem to be using en engraving tool and soldering iron for cleaning minis? Is that right?

It works, period. If the name makes it easier for people to start painting, we all win.
I feel like we’ve all been painting this way already 🤔
Now it has a name. Everyone will understand what you're doing with one single word!
