      It’s best to have a low level, mid level, and high level. If you use consistent colors ( brass for details, silver for metal, ect) it looks consistent and it’s easier to do. To much variety creates a muddy looking mess. Complimentary colors are also the best for clothing (red and yellow looks good.)

      @Alittlefruitgoesalongway 3 года назад

      Um, most paint sets don't include miniatures with them, other than the occasional GW flagship-faction specific set with paints directed at a certain army and including a few models of that army. Many brands and other GW sets haven't included models because they are meant to be a low price entry point that you can use with the miniatures you like that you probably already have or bought a small cheap set of a few miniatures from the shelf next to it, again, of your choice. It would be one thing if they did just rip you off and lie about box contents, but the one little picture with a disclaimer isn't that and something that simple isn't unheard of for most products.

    • @enveritas4948
      @enveritas4948 3 года назад +1

      @@Alittlefruitgoesalongway It's about context. These sets are sold in book shops that probably don't have a huge range of minis for you to pick from, or maybe none at all. It's also possible that someone's first experience of the hobby would be ruined if they didn't read the smallprint and expected there to be a mini inside. Not including a single mini is a missed opportunity for GW.

But also understanding how all those minute details all have to tie in together to allow the mini to really pop was great information.

    All the colours are drab so you can only paint Grimdark.
    A secret tip is to recycle your old printer ink cartridge for free ink. You can adjust colours later with a layer/ filter. Eg: Averland Sunset is a pathetic yellow... put on yellow from the printer and BAM! Hope you're wearing welding goggles.
    It also forces you to mix colours which is nice and sort of a painting fundamental oft overlooked. My set has Skintones, Primary colours (drab), "Army" colours, and Metallics.
    There's nothing i can't paint.
    Armies painted:
    Goff Orks 3000+pts
    Deathwatch Killteams x2
    Raptors SM 1500pts
    Descent Boardgame
    Space Crusade Boardgame
    The black and silver is low for obvious reasons and the agrax is also way down. The rest will never run out.
    Getting all the old paint pots from your friends can help too at a later date. They probably only need a little stirring...

    I did occur to me that this could be a fun mini series of videos. Like pick an odd model and use a near random paint set.

    Lol. Does Ninjon know how to mix and apply Citadel paint?
    Yes... I think he's done this before.
    I liked this, I started with custom mixing a limited set of Testors. I learned to mix for consistency, shading, and how to apply color with more purpose. Learn to mix colors for variation instead of reaching for the entire shelf, it'll help your skill and wallet.
    Edit* holycrap; 1st ork? Bravo 👏 👏 👏

    I really wanted to try mini painting, so after having watched tons of videos making a list of what to get, I on summer vacation walked into the closest store which had warhammer stuff and paints because I want to get into the hobby. I did not expect that this was literally the single biggest mini painting store in the region, bigger than any in my country or any of the neighboring countries stores. HUUUGE warehouse filled with mini painting stuff. Many long walls filled with paints, brushes accessories and all the stuff you could ever need. Me having zero clue what colors I need or what paint scheme I want, walked around the store for hours looking at what to get, I settled on the 40k paint tool set, and the orruk starter set as well as some army painter tools, Tamiya extra thin, and a bunch more stuff I really don’t need until after I have figured out if I enjoy the hobby or not. I spent a few hundred $ on tons of stuff I probably don’t need because various RUclipsrs said this is great, buy this, everyone needs this. Now I have a few basic colors, some obscure colors and a few duplicates, as well as tons of useless gear: Black, White, 2 identical Red, Blue, Yellow, zombie green, greenish brown, reddish brown, neon green translucent, 2x identical weathering brown, black texture paint, brown texture paint, and 4 metallics. Specifically:
    2x Mephiston Red
    Abbadon Black
    Corax White
    Macragge Blue
    Averland Sunset
    Orruk Flesh
    Steel Legion Drab
    Bugman’s Glow
    2x Leadbelcher
    Runefang Steel
    Runelord Brass
    Retributor Armour
    2x Agrax Earthshade
    Tesseract Glow
    Astrogranite
    Stirland Mud
    TL;DR make a very specific list of the bare minimum you need to paint, and do not buy any of the other stuff until you are certain that you enjoy the hobby. Or else you’ll end up sending tons of money on random stuff you have no need for yet, and if you decide this hobby isn’t for you, most of that money is lost because resale value is low.
    Now I’ll just have to hope I enjoy mini painting when I get home, or else I’ve waste hundreds of dollars.

    God bless you, Ninjon.. I'd throw in my 2 cents, but how do you improve on perfection... Maybe do some videos on stuff like OSL or using pigment powders.. I'm aware other creators have done it, but none of them are virtually sitcoms/stand-ups like you..

    Amazing work Jon! And clearly a single ork model has convinced you that your personal WAAAAGH can't end there. Considering (I think?) that you and Scott prefer AoS/fantasy maybe try the new Kruleboyz? Creepy, grim and kunnin' orkz! Scott is surely going to have plenty of new Vampires, so maybe think on some battle reports one day!

    This was incredible, while I'm not confident enough to mix paints like that and keep the shades consistent - I learnt so much! I've needed a rust colour and have overlooked Mournfang Brown! And I was considering using Deathworld Forest for the base tone flesh for the upcoming Kruel Boyz and this video has helped cement that scheme for me! That final model is absolutely incredible, I love these single set paint challenges

    • @j.m.4508

      Skrag brown is also a great rust/dirt effect when heavily thinned down! Combining the two would probably give ytou some really detailed rust.

      Wet palettes would allow you to keep more mixed paints for longer, improving your ability to keep them consistent.

    And it's probably been mentioned elsewhere, but the B&N-exclusive Blitz Bowl game is a very sought-after, excellently modernized take on Blood Bowl. If you managed to snag one, it's a ton of fun.

    I'm not a fellow mini hobbyist, but that doesn't seem to prevent me from fully enjoying your videos. The production quality is impressive and seems well thought out. The content is entertaining while, most importantly, not employing abrasive attention-retention tactics. You just make enjoyable videos... kinda like Bob Ross, except you paint unhappy little orks and well, now I'm rambling. But that's okay, because I'm only commenting in order to urge RUclips's algorithms to increase the visibility of your videos. Keep up the great work!

    Sometimes I wonder if I bought 100+ paints to try and overcome my lack of painting skills.
    Start a Gorkamorka mob & campaign - plenty of opourtunity for painting & conversions, plus - it's Gorkamorka, so thats a win.

    Yup love this experiement... was forced to do this when I got stuck in qurantine with papa Nurgle's plague and the only paint set in there was a start painting of some sort... similar colours to what you have there and painted up a stormcast eternal... was actually really fun to do something that confined.

  • @coldpawnorthern4535
    @coldpawnorthern4535 2 года назад

    This was great! I’m getting some buddies into the hobby, and I don’t want to scare them with having to buy a wall of paint for 5-10$ a pot. So I’m looking for small sets to experiment with ( ie a Vallejo set of 16 ). I think you’re idea of getting mixing down early is really important. I have a question about metallics though. Is there a good work around for not having metallics? I don’t want to throw NMM at them, but I also want to be considerate of their “start up cost”. I’m pretty sure the answer will be, “put that extra money into a metallic” but since we are talking about limited paints and colors, just wondered what OTHER idea can we come up with.

    Ok, I know you don’t want to do lore videos and I don’t blame you for that. GW’s lore seems like a total clusterfuck. Just an idea though, if you are doing a video of a model from an army (say… Ossiarch Bonereapers) how about a little info on what drew you to that army? For example, while painting this Ork, you could have talked about Orks in 40k and AoS.
    Just an idea.
    Love your videos! And really enjoy the podcast while every 2nd Monday. I hope you and Scott can/will start up in-person classes soon.
