You cannot choose between the two because they are both good in their own right and style :)
I agree, plus its good to try new techniques 🙂
Use the underpainting for the hordes, and the comic for the bosses/commanders/BBEGs
Haha yup that will make them stand out 🙂
For me both are ok but regarding quality/time this in the left is better.
I do like the speedy one when you have to do lots of miniatures 🙂
I like the one on the left.
Me too 🙂
I prefer the faster method, but with more vibrant colors. Try some oil paint. They come in tubes and are very much pigment consecrated, last for a decade and easily mixed and blended
Ive tried oils once but didnt like that they took ages to dry lol, maybe I will try again one day 🙂
Like the slap chop better, particularly because of the darker colors.
I think I would have used a gun metal and dry brushed or highlighted with the silver instead of going straight silver.
Yup I prefer the grimdark look more 🙂
I love them both for different reasons. The comic style i would use for DnD or kill team models and slap chop for normal large scare armies
Yup definently wouldnt want to do a large scale army in comic style, the time it would take would put me off lol 🙂
I like the vibrancy of the cell shaded green but I too love the slap chop method.
I love both and nicely done😊😊
Thank you buddy 🙂
I like the one on the left, looks real, natural. The one on the right is a nice fun style though.
I was doing this for about 6 years now. However, I used to mix shades with acrylics to create my own contrast paints. Worked wonders!
I started doing the "slap-chop" style back in 1981. Then l used watercolor paints over the black primer and white dry brush or just white primer usually. An old dude that painted historical miniatures taught it to me.
I've tried various different painting techniques and I keep coming back to slap chop. It's fast, simple and always leaves a great result.
Yup its a fast reliable way of painting for sure 🙂
Both painting methods have there pros and cons. But for quite has to be slap chop. Cool video Jon
Yup totally agree, slap chop is my go to but its fun trying new things 🙂
@@MiniatureHobbyist Yes it always good to try new techniques in the hobby
I think Slap Chop is great especially for those not just starting or not confident in mini painting because it helps teaches some skills that are used often. Comic Book/Cell Shaded is definitely one of the styles that you go to as an experiment when you have confidence like you did and it came out great but like you said it took a while. So I think both have their merits
Yup slap chop will always be my go to painting but every now and then I will try something out of my comfort zone 🙂
Great ! I think slap chop is really better method, more realistic.
I agree 🙂
I liked the slap chop painted one. You make it seem so easy, I'm struggling to get a look I like. Slap chop hordes and paint heroes would be my way. Great videos.
7:00 i really like the look of the right one a lot. It's so reminiscent of Borderlands, which is definitely something new and certainly looks very cool if you paint everything in that style. But for me personally, the left one has the realism that I like. This is how a miniature has to look like for me personally, even if the right one is a cool idea.
Yup I agree totally, I do prefer the more grimdark look in my miniature's 🙂
I like the slapchop boi. Have you tried changing the color of your base coat from black? When I paint something with green skin I will base it with Army Painter Alien Purple then dry brush with Wraithbone. If I am doing one with Caucasian skin tone I base it with Army Painter Barbarian Flesh then dry brush with Wraithbone.
I will change the base coat once Ive got through the 10 cans of primer I have lol, it was cheaper to buy them in bulk 🙂
Strange..the right fig skin colour is too much...but the same as my army which i love !. In the this case the left is best.
Yup slapchop for the win lol 🙂
@@MiniatureHobbyist Does it work for thinned down paint instead of contrast ??
Slab chop is the way to go, my friend. Not into the comic book look. I sure do enjoy your videos! - Rick, USMC
Yup slap chop is my go to 🙂
Comic book style is fun but definitely not a go-to for relaxing painting! I tried it out on a ghoul and that blacklining is stressful haha
Gonna give sepia underpainting a try after watching Don Suratos's vid on it, next.
Yup comic book style does require more thinking about lol, slapchop is nice and simple 🙂
You're videos have really motivated me to start painting again and I'm having a great time.
Have you ever considered trying the firefight rules from onepagerules? It's similar to team kill and the rules are free.
Also if you ever get the chance I'd love to see you paint some of their models :D
Thanks again for the great videos 👍
Cheers, Im glad you are back in the hobby and having fun, I have painted some figures from onepagerules, they are great miniatures 🙂
I've started using it. I struggle still because my near sight is crap and has been getting worse over the last two years so it's a challenge there, but I'm happy with the results I'm getting when I can do it.
Sometimes I do have to hold my miniature very close to my face to see it lol but this technique certainly helps get the good results 🙂
Look at/for optivisors mate. I'm long sighted and my near vision is awful too. They have near focus lenses and they're really good. I can wear mine over my glasses - so I can see - and then the lens of the Optivisor bring the focus in near. You can buy different lenses with different magnification. You'll probably find some on Ebay. It is worth getting the branded Optivisor, I've had mine for years. My lens is either 1.5 or 2.0 x magnification.
The quality to time spent on the "slap chop" method really can't be understated. I've never enjoyed painting much, but the ease of "slap chop" got me interested in building 40k miniatures again.
Thats great it has you got back into miniatures and yup being able to paint miniatures this quickly is great when you have 30 of more to do 🙂
I think it is all about an aim, if you need quick and dirty, then start with slapping, if you want to take it up mix them, want Judge Dredd (comic) then straight comic style would be best, because that nearly stands out for people that even just only know the movies, because one is levels above the other. I think that if you put where you think is the fore ground a bit bold comic it would make Your style. The 2 tips that I have is still pink before yellow and there is this FolkArt EXTREME Glitter 2796 Hologram. The paint is a clear coat with glitter that when you twirl your minis it gives suprise flashes of colors and can be combined with other paints for a wow factor, I'm STILL working on FOWW minis and this one long rilfe came out awesome at my lack of level, but I back splashed the mini's hair and hands...so I'm stuck looking for smaller than small brushes.
yup exactly, slap chop will always be my go to but its always fun to try stuff, are you having fun with your stuff, thats what its all about 🙂
Both styles are cool. I think out of these two minis the slap chopped one looks the best. Probably because you've practiced that a lot more. I really like the cartoony one though.
Yeah I enjoyed both, slap chop will always be my number one 🙂
I watched one of Youre Videos about SlapChop painting and youre joy about the results was catching. So I give it a Try. And I really liked it (it took me some try's to find out wich grey and white to use and how much). I really like this Technique. I often use the Vallejo Xpress Colors (I love the Orc Skintone).
Thats great that you are enjoying it, Im hoping to get hold of some vallejo xpress paints soon 🙂
I like both those Kratorcs :). I don't know if I ever try cell shading myself, though. As for slapchop, I do like it. Watched a lot of videos on the topic and one day (two weeks ago) I was like "ok, so I have speedpaints and contrasts from previous experiments and 3 already primed night goblins from WFB, gotta try out this technique" and I do love it. The experiment was a success (the models are not finished yet, but they look really nice for the tabletop), so now I'm relatively slowly working through a bunch of old uruk-hai and Ugluk. Those buggers armoured as hell, so basecoating the armour took a lot of time, but the rest was really fast in comparison. Now I gotta fix some mistakes, paint the teeth and shade the armour and the painting part will be done. Then just base them and voila, the first batch of 12 miniatures will be done and it will be more than I painted last year - I managed to get one Ork Kommando done, painted it "traditionally", that is basecoats, washes, highlights etc. I had a very, very long hiatus in painting (8 years, I believe), so it's basically like starting from scratch and relearning everything, especially brush control.
Generally: I love that you're churning out these videos and I love that many of the models you paint are orcs :). I backed Modulorka on Kickstarter, so I have a bunch of different options to print later on and I will definitely slapchop the hell out of them!
Yup Orks are just so cool and fun, I love all Modulorka's miniatures, they are so well designed 🙂
Ive got alot of unpainted Ork Boyz and ive just started using the SlapChop style and wow they look great, even better than my other mini figs that i worked hours on
Hey thats great and how I feel every time I look at a miniature I painted, 100x better than miniatures I painted a year ago and in way less time 🙂
I think they are both cool, I appreciate the slapchop method, and when I use it, I block in the main colours for the base coat, then dry brush to get the highlights, then speed or contrast paint. If it is a special model, I work on using washes and highlighting. I've been painting for 30+ years, I don't try to rush it, I take my time, I tend to be more like a 2 to 8 hour per model painter, the only time I try to be fast is for batch painting simple larger groups of basic models, then it is just to get painted models on the game table.
Yeah its all about finding that happy medium of enjoying the process but still getting the miniatures painted in a time that you need 🙂
Slap chop for sure
Its my favourite too 🙂
May I ask what’s your dry brush?
You may ask.............................its from miniwarpaint, I generally use make up brushes as they are super cheap 🙂
@@MiniatureHobbyist Awesome thank you! Love your videos they got me back into painting!
Both are great in my opinion
Cheers Matt 🙂
How do the contrast speed paints look on armour? As in space marines and dreadnoughts, tanks.
Both look nice! But defo prefer the slap chop more~ Great video!
Cheers, me too 🙂
have you tried colour under coats with slap chop for example brown instead of black to make the model more warm. like for models that are based in a desert enviroment i like to use brown then drybrush over like a bone colour (ushabti bone) then a final brush of white?
also i health red as an undercoat for ork skin is meant to be amazing
I will give that a go when I run out of black primer lol 🙂
Slap chop because it looks realistic.
Totally agree 🙂
Depends on what you like. I like the comic book style for games like bloodbowl. But for 40k it’s more dark grim, and real so I like the more realistic for those games.
I totally agree, I do prefer grimdark for gameplay and comic book for one off things 🙂
I think they’re both good in their own merits. Ones not necessarily better than the other.
I agree 🙂
20 min vid was by far the best, tho i did like the comic version...im intrested in what brown contrast colours u used on his armour
its hardened leather speed paint by army painter 🙂
@@MiniatureHobbyist cheers bud,,,i'll be gettin abit of that...
When you are drybrushing your miniatures, do you use a light or a dark grey?
This whole incident wracked my heart. I’ve got a friend part of that group; as well as a FAST response team of marines who were not allowed to even act until it was far too late.
Hilary is so full of shit- typical “wasn’t my fault” just tried to sweep it under the rug and avoid all blame. Everything and everyone who died it’s like they died for nothing.
These models let me think about
an orkish Santa Claus. Maybe you can use one next christmas and modify it... 😇
Both Figures look great. I think it depends to personal taste. Good work!
Gotta love an Ork Santa 🙂
I like both but prefer the non-comic looking one. I remember MCX brought out a range of comicm style TMNT but they used hatching rather than outlines. In that case the outlines work much better (I know that's not what you asked but.... 🙂)
Hey bud, hope you are well, Im still waiting for Brits & Tea 2 😛
What paint make do you use for the grey and white dry rushing please?
I use slap chop a lot. but after seeing your comic-style approach, I think I will give it a try as well :-)
It is a fun style to try out 🙂
I actually like the slap chop one better
I like the skin of the slap chop but love everything else on the other.
The comic book one is fun and more vibrant 🙂
The comic book look would good for Marvel United or Marvel Crisis Protocol for example.
Yup for fun one offs the comic book style is fun 🙂
CLASS!
Thank you 🙂
What are the colours used? Especially for drybrushing, thanks
I like the comic book approach but I am never going to spend two hours on one miniature when I have so many to paint?! It is something that I might try just for the fun of it and the experience. Tempted to paint Darkest Dungeon in the comic book style.
I started painting minis about 12 years ago. Although I had been involved in wargaming as a teenager (1850) I had never attempted to paint anything until then. Bought some old GW minis and just had a go. Now I paint nearly every day. One day I might even get good at it!?
Yup I agree, 2 hours on 1 mini when you have a dozen to paint is a bit much but every now and then its fun to try things 🙂
Please share printer settings for printing the shadow vaults walls, if they indeed are different settings from the video please confirm. I don't dare to print them on my own for risk of failure!!
I use basic printer settings that come with the software and have my fingers crossed things print well lol 🙂
@@MiniatureHobbyist so it's the settings you can see in your video? And no elephant foot? Great vids by the way, love them!
What contrast paint did you use for the green skin of the orc please?
Scrap that - just went back to 2:50 on the video 🤣
I tend to paint them the same day I need them for a big battle so for me its 20 min.
Yup one offs comic book is fun but when the army needs to get battle ready then slap chop them monkeys 🙂
Slapchop for a whole army
Definently, the thought of 2 hours per mini would put me off painting otherwise 🙂
Like the slapchop more. Comic style is ok at distance but doesn't look great up close.
Me too, yup comic book would like weird for a full army 🙂
If you love orcs you should check out Puppetswar Bushi Orcs.
I have some of them 🙂
I like both to be honest but it's gotta be the slapchop
I agree 🙂
The slap chop is more my style 😊
Mine too 🙂
I like the slapchop look better, but it's personal preference. I'm not a fan of the big black lines using the comic book style.
Yup slapchop is my go too for sure 🙂
Are you a fan of Swedish Glace? It's alright isn't it?
I dont know what that is lol 🙂
@@MiniatureHobbyist the ice cream
I write this before i watch the video and i honestly like the 20 minutes MUCH more. First the green: Thats an Orruk green for me. The 2 hours green is way to dark and does not look "natural". 2nd is the other colours: the 20 minutes is mostly brownes in different shades, highlighted by some metal parts and ropes, which looks much more "rugged" and battletorn, also much more "natural". Everything fits to the other parts. On the 2 hours one, the colours are much to bright and dont fit together. Also the shades on the stomach muscles look overdone and weird to me.
3rd: with the limited time for painting i personally have at hand, i love speed painting and the results. Only thing i like more on the 2 hours miniature is the base, but this could be done on the 20 minutes one in no time by a swipe of citadels contrast space wolves frey, which makes an amazing stone look in 2 seconds.
Of course thats only my opinion, with no disrespect to the painter.
YUp its all about finding your happy painting standard and the slap chop style is my go to 🙂
I think it depends on what your objective is. Hobbying is an art and should take time to master, using speedpaints and washes as a tool is fine, but using them for the express purpose of bypassing the learning curve is pretty lame. Unless your only goal is to play the miniatures, I think using speed paints is just denying yourself an opportunity to learn to paint, besides- it's painfully obvious which model is speedpainted
Yup its all about finding a painting style that you enjoy and like the results with 🙂
Slap Chop
Agreed 🙂
Slap chop just due to time.
Quick and easy is always a winner 🙂
Can I paint something for you dude 🙏🙏
Yup my hallway 🙂
Hahaha!! Amazing 🤣🤣🤣
Nope, any paint method taking more than an hour is not for me.
Haha me too 🙂
It’s like chalk and cheese the slap Chop one is far superior to my eyes.
