This whole tutorial was useful! I learned a lot about painting horses and about the difference in effects of Citadel washes and Ouick Shade washes. Knowing that the Quick Shade is more of a stain that would come in handy a lot. I am looking forward to the next tutorials. Thanks for sharing them.
It's a big difference between the Quickshades and GW's Washes that I don't hear mentioned often, so I thought it'd be neat to actually demonstrate on the same miniature how they differ from one another. It helped me in a big way to figure that out and use them for different applications, as you can see!
Looks good! Recently found at a hobby store some loose/used metal minis including one horse so I've been curious about painting it. I know from my time with some black cats and a few black dogs that like the blue highlights on the black horse, their highlights are more of a dark brown.
No problem! :D If by some chance you end up with some pictures of what you're working on, I'd love to see - I've had my eye on Hail Caesar for a while, despite nobody in the area playing, and I'd be half tempted to just pick up some miniatures for the sake of painting something fun.
Excellent tutorial thanks. Nice to see that there is a technique for painting horses that doesn't take weeks! The results are very impressive indeed. Looking forward to part two!
Thank you kindly! I'm really glad to get your perspective, as I'm sure you see a great many more horses on the battlefield than I tend to. ;D By the end of it, a result of 'Yeah, that's pretty alright' suits me fine, and it takes minutes compared to some of the (admittedly fantastic) methods out there.
I have been a bit lacking in the hobby world lately. Your nearly daily vids have gotten me back into the space to get me going again. Great vids and keep up with the work and the hobby painting arena on RUclips will be better. Many thanks from near 0 Degrees Brisbane straya. Good work my friend!
It can be hard sometimes to find that oomph to get started on a project, right? I'm glad to know these silly things help a little, at least! I've been a bit slack on the 'daily' aspect lately, but I'm still plugging away where I can. I'll swap you the heat, dude! You can keep the spiders and lizards and roos and-... actually, I'll stay put for now. ;) All the best!
Looks fine to me. I did anout 30 years of riding & Napoleonic reenactment on horseback (14th rgt. Dutch cuirasier 1812). When I see a horse even on RUclips, I can smell it too.
Goes to show how your technique is still relevant as I am still referring to it in 2020 over 2 years after it was originally posted on RUclips...keep up the "How I Paint Things" videos. Oh, I have saved this in my "watch later" so I will always find it.
@@SonicSledgehammerStudio At the end of the video you mention there was going to be a part II with painting a white horse, is there any chance for that video being done?
I would like to know if you are going to make the videos part 2 Black horse and part 3 white Horse available? ( as well as the Rider) I am really looking forward to these videos. Also, I would like to say that your videos are very instructive, useful and entertaining where you show great and simple techniques. Keep up the great work. Cheers
Its a valise, to carfy his personal posessions and cleaning kit. The blanket thing is the shabraque and the wallets under the sheepskin is his pistol holsters.
Carefully! Jokes aside, I'm still planning on doing a white horse tutorial, but the temperature and humidity here are making it all but impossible to get the finish I'd need to demonstrate with. It's one that's on the way, though!
Great videos! I'm pretty new to the hobby, so I've still tons to learn. Quick question: how do you smooth out the level difference between the small base and the actual base you've pinned the figure on?
For the most part I tend to just cover up the small parts of the miniature's integrated base with a little sand and basing material, and just hide it. I know some folks go to the lengths of cutting it away entirely and then pinning the miniature to the base, but it's so much extra work - great for centerpieces, though!

Hello. Im building a 54mm French 1815 Cuirassier as well ...i had no idea how to paint the horse..now i know. Marvellous. 😊👍

I've been needing this to overcome my fear of using cavalry. Also, huge props for the Mordheim reference!
We have to rep the classics, right? Good luck on the battlefield, and may that new cavalry charge to victory. :D
Thank you! I've got a lot of horses to paint for Hail Caesar and these methods will help a lot.

This was an excellent tutorial, I will be using this as a reference when I paint cavalry in future, thank you so much for posting.

YES thanks for making a vid on cavalry I’ve been looking for one!

Sonic Sledgehammer Studio Also, are you planing on doing some more necromunda vids?
I will be at some point! I've got my Goliath and Escher both to paint yet, along with some Chaos Cultists and the like.
I like your painting method, great tutorial. Looking forward to your painting the Cuirassier

Great to hear! I'm always pleased to know these are still ticking over as useful for folks.

Yea! Been waiting for this one.
Glad I could deliver!
When is the follow up going to be published. Looking forward how you do the black and white horse. Also the cuirassier.
Great tutorial...absolutely well explained...
The valise at the rear of the saddle is the equivalent of an infantryman's backpack. The roll on top is his cloak. It was off-white lined with red.
Very helpful, thank you!
Great job my friend
Thanks a lot, dude! Horses were a quiet terror, but it turns out they're no more scary than drybrushing a tank. ;D
Did I miss it??? I never saw the video of you painting the cuirassier...can you post the link...great channel by the way...absolutely love it...
I appreciate very much your video and your funny explanation. Thank a lot.
Glad you liked it!
Nearly all horses are chestnut brown, some with black feet and white markings on one or more feet and on the nose
How would the black horse turn out if you had used Nuln Oil in place of the Strong Tone?
Could you please list the colours you used here?
Очень круто. Прямо для чайников. Все ясно и понятно. Респект
very useful thanks

How would you paint a white or grey horse?
Carefully! Jokes aside, I'm still planning on doing a white horse tutorial, but the temperature and humidity here are making it all but impossible to get the finish I'd need to demonstrate with. It's one that's on the way, though!
Sonic Sledgehammer Studio Thank you. Looking forward to it. Great channel. Keep up the good work!
Just in time for my Arab heavy cavalry, many thanks!
Glad to hear it! I'd be dead keen to see when you're finished. :D
Sure thing, if you subscribe to my channel you'll get that vid once it goes up. It'll include all of my Saracen forces for the new Saga rule-book :)
thank you what a great video ...
reminds me of the old rough riders
These Perry Miniatures horses would be a little small for Rough Riders, unfortunately, but I still hold a candle for cavalry in 40k!
Sorry did I miss the painting of the white horse and curassier
Great videos! I'm pretty new to the hobby, so I've still tons to learn.

Great vid. Did you end up painting the black horse and rider though?
What range is this model from
sick brah
Where are you that it is so hot? An Aussie like me? I had thought you were a Kiwi
Hello! New subscriber here, happy to follow your videos ^^
Welcome aboard! I hope you keep finding things useful as they come along. :)
I would have liked to have seen this video finished with the rider but that's never going to happen ☹
For the horse's eyes, just paint them black. If you are ever around a horse and see the white of its eyes, stay away from it.
Just in time i have about 30 riders of rohan to paint lol
Yesss. :D One of the best armies in LotR!
@@SonicSledgehammerStudio Any chance you might have a tutorial on painting Rohan? :)
Please don't take offence or think I'm being rude
But could you please pull your finger out and get the trooper
painted.
Thankyou.
PS great video.
This was a very helpful video.
BTW, cuirassier is pronounced something like 'queer-ass-ee-ay'.
