Top Tips For Painting Your First Warhammer Miniature
Painting your first Warhammer miniature (or any brand) can be intimidating. There are loads of tips we pick up and mistakes we make as we go through the hobby, so I've tried to put together a list of the things that I think would have been useful to know from the start. They won't make you a brilliant painter, but hopefully, they will make the process more enjoyable and get you to a mini you are happy with more quickly!

I built a TRENCH CRUSADE prayer tower diorama

Everybody everywhere seems to be talking about Trench Crusade, and for good reason! It looks amazing.

    Great vid and advice for the new year - I would say all perfect tips for any level but particularly beginners as this will help avoid mistakes - the knocking over of nuln oil is a right of passage for any painter though - as is washing your brush out in your coffee instead of your water 😬🤣 . Thinning paints is a big one and makes a huge difference on the finished mini but also there is something calming about gradually building up the colours and seeing the contrast I think. Looking forward to an advanced tips vid 👍🏻

      It's an unscientific mix of black oil paint (cheap stuff from a hobby shop) and white spirits. I add enough white spirits until it feels thin enough. However, over time it thins out more so I add more oil paint, and then I need more wash etc. I've no idea of the ratio now, I've added to it for about 18 months!

    Great board and game, witchunters put up a good fight in the end! Zombies rolled hot on the injury rolls. Spotted a few mistakes in the rules, which is easily done in the heat of battle! Handsome shouldn't have died in first blood, the zombie only gets 1 attack. It can choose who to try and hit. In this case it tried to hit the priest and failed. Models within 6 of your leader can use the leaders leadership for tests (e.g. fear for Hank), it didn't make a difference here but worth noting. For the exploding zombie, its d3 # of attacks, each attack is strength 4, in game you played it as d3 strength. The range is 1D6 inches not 6, so might have affceted much fewer models. The priest wilh double handed weapon always strikes last, not just on the charge. After recovering from being knocked down shadwell has to strike last against the zombies. Flail is +2 strength not +1 ( bonus only in first round of combat). Fear (on hank) lasts 1 round only, so was played correctly. You should roll Ned's sword and dagger separetly, as the dagger will give opponent a 6+ armour save, whereas the sword wont. Flagellants are T4 not T3, s3 would need a 5, which the zombie at 42:40 still got so worked out! Also the 2 zombies later also got wound rolls of 5/6. very unlucky!

    Chaque personne a sa méthode, suivant ses affinités. Personnellement, j'ai arrêté les cartons d'oeufs, je me suis tourné vers la partie inutilisable du papier toilette : le "rond" en carton. Plus facile à déchirer et se déchiquète mieux à sec au blender (bien veiller à porter un masque, les particules de bois sont mauvaises pour les poumons). Il faut dire aussi qu'en ayant mes propres poules, les cartons d'oeufs sont une denrée rare à la maison, par contre, les ronds en carton, avec une grande famille, ce n'est pas ce qui manque pour peu qu'on les place dans une boite prévue à cet effet (et même les enfants qui évitaient de les mettre à la poubelle sont les premiers à les mettre dans la boite "spécial papa"). Pour ma part, les grandes surfaces, c'est 2 bois pour 1 plâtre mais les finitions ou les surfaces obligatoirement bien lisses (routes, traces de pneus ou de chenilles), c'est du 1 pour 1. Each person has his or her own method, according to his or her affinities. Personally, I stopped using egg cartons, I turned to the unusable part of toilet paper: the cardboard "round". Easier to tear and shreds better dry in a blender (be sure to wear a mask, wood particles are bad for the lungs). It must also be said that by having my own chickens, egg cartons are a rare commodity at home, on the other hand, cardboard rounds, with a large family, are not what is missing as long as they are placed in a box provided for this purpose (and even the children who avoided putting them in the trash are the first to put them in the "special dad" box). For my part, large surfaces are 2 wood for 1 plaster but finishes or surfaces that are necessarily smooth (roads, tire or track tracks), it's 1 to 1.

      @@questsquills Some of the mistakes were pretty harsh against you. The zombies only has one attack, meaning they can't attack multiple models. The Corpsebomb is Strength 4 aganist Toughness 3, meaning it was a 3+ to wound - which would have taken out a lot of those zombies. You don't roll on injury table against knocked down opponents. Double-hand weapons always strike last, no matter initiative. The warrior priest can cast magic in close combat, so you should have tried to cast Soulfire for a lot of those turns in the shooting phase. You can only attack with the pistol the first round of combat, after that it is sword and dagger. Remember you can use the leader's leadership within 6'''. The 6 to hit from fear is only first round of combat, normal to hit after. Remember your flagellants are Toughness 4 and the flail gives +2 Strength in first round. You don't receive a critical hit from falling. Advice then: Get the flagellants in front and have them be the first wave. Armour is expensive, wait with buying in until later. Pleeeeaaase show us the postgame phase, that's the real big story. Hope that helps! :D

      Post game would definitely be fun. With this, I just wanted to run a quick scenario to show the terrain and minis and get a feel for filming a battle report. I'd got a few of the dogs from the kickstarter but just couldn't get them painted in time. It would have done the models a disservice to run them like that, so added armour to take it to 500ish with the models I'd managed to finish! I've got a load of old metal skaven and some cool proxies to paint up for a skaven band that I'd like to do a campaign for. Just need to really nail the rule book! Thanks for the tips though and in a constructive way! The internet can be nice sometimes!

    The board was phenomenal to play on and really adds to the atmosphere. Each of those building has playable interiors too which we didnt have chance to showcase in this vid but might do in the next one. I cannot speak highly enough of the terrain for this kind of skirmish game 😊

    Wow, magnificent!!! Q- Did you texture all the stone blocks yourself, or did you cut them from a material that was already textured? Thanks

    • @questsquills
      @questsquills 2 місяці тому

      I textured them myself. I can't remember which of my other videos I covered it in, but basically I cut the blocks out of XPS foam to the correct size. Chuck them in an old coffee tin with a handful of rough pebbles and shake them hard! The stones smooth off the edges and add realistic texture. I saw the idea either on Black Magic Craft or Erics Hobby Workshop, but I think it's an old technique.

      @@questsquills It’s an old technique we already used back in the late 1970s*, but I had never seen the texture come out so nicely. You must have really shaken the heck out of that can!!! LOL PS. I love how you involved your daughter on so many different steps of the process! * Just like the re-discovered technique of adding black (or brown) paint to Mod Podge (or PVA) to seal and undercoat your terrain prior to all other paint layers..

      I can't remember the exact store, but it was an online insulation company. I had to bite the bullet and get 5 or 6 sheets otherwise they won't deliver. There are some on eBay but not sure the minimum order. I'm UK based, so assuming you are too!

    All of Hexengarde’s measurements are in inches not metric. It’s only a 5mm difference but might mean the difference between your walls, toppers or risers fitting nicely or having an overhang. Not applicable to any of the freestanding stuff of course!

    • @questsquills
      @questsquills 3 місяці тому

      I naturally gravitate to metric because I'm in the UK, but I was impressed the 50mm foam layers lined up nicely. Of course, it might be 2 inch foam instead 😂

      @@questsquills I’m in Australia so I was a little surprised with Tired World’s choice of imperial measurements. I did ask about resizing objects that utilise the Open Lock system and that there might be problems. I’m thinking that the 0.04mm is fine for smaller stuff but doesn’t scale once you’re moving into 4 or even 6” boards it can be a reasonably large overhang for the walls or risers Given you’ve gone all in with foam it’s not an issue with folks who want to follow along and replicate your board ( which is slick btw!). Super pumped to back this KS and get my port city happening!
