Cheers. The Imperial Agents box comes with some really nice sculpts. This model is so much more dynamic than the old, and some of the general agent poses and sculpts are awesome. Hope the week has gone well Bw

Cheers, that means a lot 😀 I am assuming it's thumbnails or because I haven't filmed a titan yet, hahah But truely, thanks, and I hope I can keep you entertained Bw Ben

Hey :) Hope the week has been enjoyable. I do like a camoshade wash over warm metals for wear, tear and age 😀 Bw Ben

For most plastic kits, I use Taymia Thin, whereas for others, I use a generic brand industrial super glue Bw

Sometimes a low stress fun project as a pallet cleanser can be nice 😀 Also, used up a few spare bits up which never hurts hahah Hope your well Bw Ben

Cheers, we will see if we can recapture that lightening in a bottle. I was going to reply to the other video comment to let you know this one was out 😀. But I'm glad you found it 😀 I do love the IP ones, I have another one planned just waiting for the kits to become available haha As always Best Wishes Ben

Cheers, glad you like it, and I hope it was of help. What option are you planning on? Bw Ben

Hey You are a possible mind reader, and I'm sorry if you felt misled. Aimed at the video being something that can be chucked on while hobbying as background, etc. I appreciate that there is little value for longer-term viewers. I am, however, in the process of taking photos of all the models from this year and will be doing thoughts and views on how the year went (hoping it will be ready for Friday coming.) Will try to build in the above mentioned ideas and if you have anything else you want me to cover let me know (I eill try to do a community post aswell 😀) Just act surprised when it comes out next week 😀 (happy to respond to questions now if your interested and don't want to wait 😉) Hope you had a nice Christmas Bw Ben

@TheMiniPaintingPage Not misled at all. I just need to learn to read time displays😔. I'm old, so I learned how to tell time on an analog clock, not the new fangled digital stuff that all you kids are using these days😅.

You swore this would be a fight between warriors. Bw Ben

Generally I use citadel sprays as they are easy ti get locally . I occasionally use colour forge depending on availability. This video I am sure it was all citadel sprays. Bw Ben

Thanks, I'm glad you like them 😀 Bw Ben

Cheers I am glad you liked it, I tried to sprinkle a few fun facts in there 😉 Around layering, there are a few options but building a few mote steps in can help with smoother blends, let us know how you get on 😀 I hope you also have a great festive period Bw Ben

Seriously bro, you come up with the coolest ideas for painting videos! So unique, and stand out from all of the rehashed ideas out there. You deserve a lot more traffic. What about trying a popular sports team theme, like Manchester United? Appeal to Soccer/football/futbol fans and Warhammer fans alike.

Not a bad shout, I try to mix it up with the "fusion" series, but I have not considered sports etc. I might be a good use of my unbuilt Bloodbowel box Thanks also, and hope the festive period goes well 😀 Bw Ben

Cheers, I did like how they came out, planning to convert up a Leontus at some point. I am glad these full CP videos are going down well 😀 As always , best wishes Ben

Splendid! I am really glad they do!! I hope your week starts great, Godspeed - Ile

Replying here for courtesy but have replied in full to the longer comment 😀 Glad you liked the video Bw Ben

Cheers for the feedback and time in writing out the comments 😀 I agree on the armour elements. It would help it stand out a little more. I might look to go back in and push the highlight a little more on the armour to show it's harder and more reflective. I must say I have not really used any bolt action, but for some reason, have it. I'm mind they are on a smaller scale. But to be fair, the guard heads are not large, so it could be a possibility. If you do have some kits and can size check? I would love to know as that is a cheaper route to extra bits like heads or possible weapons etc.. Bw Ben

Hey, sorry for the delay, but I wanted to check out the email before I replied. And I must say, they are looking really good. I really like the night sky scene, I may copy that in the future. I hope the rest of the project goes well and i am sure the final outcome will look great and be loved by the recipients 😀 (will aim to check out the shorts, well shortly ) 😀 Bw Ben

Thank you so much and no worries, itz been very busy weekend and it is close to be Christmas time anyways! My grandma loved her's and next I'll project 2more gobbos for mom and sis! Go ahead and copy the ideas I hope to see em in your future videos! Merry Christmas Ben! - Ile

Thanks, glad you like it. 😀 Hope everything is well Bw Ben

😄

That'll sound something like, "Nah, we don't need that one..."

That sounds awesome. Is there any specific chapter ? Or just a model you liked ? I am told Blood Angels are the most Christmasssy chapter, hahaha 😆 Bw Ben

I thought so. With a little more planning, I might have even managed to get a green bauble and slap on some decals. I am glad you like it 😀 and hope all has been well Bw Ben

Thanks , I am glad it is helpful 😊 There are alot of variations possible too. The baubles tend to be firm plastic and not to hard to work with. If you do give it a go, let me know how it goes and I hope you have fun with It 😀 Bw Ben

Cheers, glad you liked it and hope all has been well 😀. Bw Ben

Cheers :) making sure to keep the spinning shots in future videos Have a great week Bw Ben

Awesome you that's great!! I showed your channel to my friend and father who play drukhari and salamanders respectively, they both really admired the detail and texture you do and I showed this spinning shot at the end which is just lovely to see it all in detail all around in all of itz glory! Stunning work! Thank you and have a great week as well Ben! Godspeed! BW Ile

Thanks 😊, I glad you like it and find value in them 😀. If there are any bits you have ideas on, let me know, and I will see if I can add them to the schedule 😀 Can't say much on the size and growth but take the complement to heart. Small communities are great though, because we can all chat in the comments 😄 😄 I hope the rest of the weekend treats you well Bw Ben

@TheMiniPaintingPage I'm quite enjoying what you've put out already, so I'm not really certain on what to suggest other than keep doing what you've been doing, your video ideas seem to be stellar already. One thing that I believe could be somewhat interesting though is applying the weathering techniques you've showcased in your recent videos to a larger vehicle, say Goliath Truck/ Rockgrinder.

Literally same

These comments are starting to be the highlight of my weekend 😀 Thankyou for the feedback as it always helps. Hoping there is always something useful and fun in each video. Glad you like the video and hope the model show off at the end helps 😀 (thanks for that feedback) Bw Ben

No problem brother!! You increased my model painting skill and speed by a lot and I am grateful for that I hope you and your channel succeed!!

Hey, I hope the week has started well Thanks for the feedback. Genuinely, it really helps, and hopefully, things will get better each time. I did worry. The flappy sound effect was a bit too much. I will make sure to space them or dip the audio on them in the future. Bw Ben

Also, on a more important note, how did you get on with the weathering washes ?

Pardon? I didn't understand the question (english isn't my first language as you may see from my username and grammar mistakes, lol!) Happy to help, I hope you succeed coz you paint so insanely good!! And thank you for asking my week started real good as I got to play game of combat patrol with a friend! I hope yours going good aswell!

Hey Cheers, I'm glad you enjoyed it 😀 Hope all is well Bw Ben

😊 thanks, I do like the scheme and can be added to with details if wanted. I needed a scheme I could do quickly as was playing 40k with my nephew and wanted a painted army. 2k of golden Necrons is a nice sight 😀 I am glad you like the content, if there are any ideas for future let me know 😀 Bw Ben

​@@TheMiniPaintingPage It also insane that you did all that in 40mins, if I would do it in such a detail I'd need to take double the time. You're truly a skillful painter! I got actually some ideas for future your content. Two actually, one is that you should totally get some rotating disc (lazy susan like) where you showcase the miniature at the end slowly rotating, I bet we all would love to see your minis all around. Second idea or request is could you do any admech, do you have any plans for em in future? Would love to know your ideas and thoughts about those as they are highly detailed! You nailed the thousand sons combat patrol on your last vid, I have painted 3tzaangors and it was hard, but you made it seem like it is an easy and simple task with greatest results! I bet you could easily do even the hardest of the painting tasks with flying colours! I am very glad I found your channel (actually I did just yesterday, I instantly subbed) Godspeed!

Cheers. Thanks for the suggestion, I have invested in a turntable and will aim to add some more shots of the final models. Am also thinking of doing a showcase of some / all models from the year. In regards to Admech, I will be getting to them, at minimum want one combat patrol of each faction so can say 100% there will be one, however It might end up being a new year timeline for it. I will see if I can bring it forward 😀 what subfaction are you looking at (Mars?) Bw Ben

Awesome!! I can't wait to see all minis you have done! I love to see masters at work, itz great idea to paint the combat patrols, it is very epic showcase of all armies and the game mode is very fun as well. I personally do my admech with red and green, red for robes, green for all energy lences and pipes, but you know all bright colours look striking on em! Similar to necrons, I just did very close to the box art, but after seeing your golden royal warden I just have to try that out!! It is even better than the original so I fully trust your decisions on any colour scheme. It is fun to look how you kitbash your minis too, swapping the weapons with tzaangors and all tiny things like that go long way! I'll be watching all rest of your content and every upcoming vid as well, you're that good! I wish more people knew about this channel. Glad I found it!

It should (assuming in place of the contrast wash). You would need to check the colour and consistency but should work. You just want a semi transparent blue to tint the raised surfaces blue and the shadows to a darker tone. Then use the wash in the highlight mix for consistency. As I haven't tried it personally i cannot say for 100% but in the pre contrast days I would have used thinned ink So long story should : should work, but best do a small test if you have limited models :) Glad you like the video and scheme 😀

What one / bit sorry ? Bw Ben

Thanks, that is high praise, but also, I would like to assume it's not true. Either way, the journey is the fun bit and welcome on the journey haha, What models did you go for as your start ? Bw Ben

@TheMiniPaintingPage Originally I was going to start with the Grey Knights and I have two combat patrols but right now on practicing on some metal Grey Knights. I'm having to use metal for now because I only have 1000 a month total for all my bills and rent so I'm trying to be careful and avoid ruining my combat patrols.

Yea, it's not a cheap hobby, but it's a good shout on the metal models. From memory, the metal GK models are still nice sculpts and can also be stripped after without much impact on the model (normally , allowing multiple re painting opportunities unlike plastic that could be effected by some stripping. Are you going with the normal red and silver ? (Similar to the ones on my channel, albeit mine are with uncommon paints) Bw Ben

Tzeentchs twitsed idea of a Christmas feast.

Cheers, glad you liked it.

Thanks, it does pop next to the metals imo 😉 Hope you liked the vid Bw Ben

Hi That sounds awesome, I used to use a similar method pre contrast using inks, but contrast makes it a lot more accessible now 😀. Agree on the Eldar being given a very short stick from gw on most areas. I may progress onto a WK in the future as I want to try and repose them into fluid movements, but that's a project for down the line. If interested ( self promo alert), I did another video on the fareseer for the CP to a slightly higher standard (not competition level or anything but a step up on the troops) Either way, I appreciate the feedback and comments. Do you have any preference on other Eldar vids in the future when they come up in the cards? Bw Ben

I will have a look, my friend at the store I got them said he uses them solely with an airbrush with really good results. I will have to find something with larger panels worth testing it on, is there any other elements worth testing you know of I missed in the video (might be able to do a round up in future) Bw Ben

I airbrush everything in a colored zynithal. So paints that work as a primer are very interesting to me as most of the work I do is actually with the airbrush.

They are supposed to operate like enamel paints, which are very durable and smooth to airbrush.

I will have a try soon and either post a video or comment. Just keep in mind I use hair more than air generally 😅 Bw Ben

That sounds really cool, I imagine the wear tear and glow add some colours to draw the eye. How do you do the glow effect? Just build up in brightness and greens ? Hope you liked the video Bw Ben

@@TheMiniPaintingPage I start mostly with a drybrush of a really dark green, and just build up carefully to an almost neon green at the points i want glowing. I actually ended up dusting over a layer of neon effect paint too, so that it actually glows under a blacklight. The various greens and yellowish-greens really pull the eye around the model, giving them a pretty dark, haunted look that worked out really well for Death Guard. the deep rusted and damaged sections keep interest on the black armor without needing to worry too much about the actual black sections because the eye is just pulled away from them. I did weapons in a dark, rough iron kind of color too, which stands out a bit from the rest of the model, so that helps too. My goal was basically to paint the armor black, and make it so you look at everything BUT the black, lol. It works out though. they have a very dark and eerie vibe that i love, and the glowing paint always surprises people

Assume you like the set up then 😄? Getting some GSC done soon as the first project at the new setup Bw Ben

Cheers for the additional info. I didn't pick up the DI kit, so thanks for the clarity on that. Bw Ben

Neither did I but I believe you can still buy Chosen of Mortarion and poxwalkers and get a “free” plague marine 😀

That's a good shout. As you said gives a pop of colour against the typical pallet. Glad you enjoyed it and may nab the idea on future 😀 Bw Ben

Thanks, I appreciate the feedback. Assuming it's not to the point of sending you to sleep 😀 I tried to vary the methods to keep it interesting 😀 Bw Ben

I did give multiple warnings, but welcome to my world 😀 No problem, how it's made, and BTS stuff always interested me so thought it might be the same for others. I'm glad you liked it Bw Ben

Cheers for the comment. It means a lot, and I'm mainly glad I could help. The equipment should also be listed in the description, but it cam be costly, if you don't need all the features you can try to use a Lave Mic direct into camera (I use a boya omnidirectional) pre amps on most modern cameras will work well enough. There is also a cheaper, smaller version of the h4n, which I think also works similar hust with fewer channels (check online etc etc to make sure 😉 ) but the H6 is good if you may use fir podcasting in future 😀 If there is anything I can go into more detail on just let me know Bw Ben

@TheMiniPaintingPage Ah, I think a Lave mic direct to camera would be the solution for me (that's a lapel Mic?). Synching audio to video after the fact is I bit beyond me. I'm kinda tech-tarded. I appreciate how you take the time to help out in the comment section.

@ThrehaneMiniatures no problem, always happy to chat and possibly even help 😀 I did mean a lapel mic, I went for a boya 2meter cable option, I use an omnidirectional mic and point the capsule down. This seeks to reduce plusives blowouts but still get good sound. Curious on the editing front, what software do you use ? Bw Ben

@TheMiniPaintingPage Ok, try not to judge me too harshly...most of my videos were edited on a 2012 Mac Mini, using the free installed iMovie software. I recently "upgraded" to a used 2019 MacBook, and I'm still using the pre installed iMovie software. I'm a retired firefighter, so I'm trying to be frugal with my hobby. If this UA-cam thing ever takes off, I'd like to reinvest any income from it, into improving my production. It seems that the really popular channels all do the "taking head" thing that is really good for getting their personally out there, and creating a bond with the audience. I'd like to get there. You're doing a fantastic job with your presentation. I think you have that approach nailed down. I keep watching, and expecting your channel to blow up any day now. You seem very comfortable in front of the camera, which is something that I'll have to work on.

Thanks 😊 we are all in the same boat with this game and in no place to judge. Personally, if your system can run it, I would look at Davinchi Resolve. They have a free version that has most of the functionality. (There are also a few channels that have tutorials on it.) But I do appreciate it would be a possible delay in transition, but it can do everything from cutting, etc, up to full colour correction and vfx workflow - so it could be worth a youtube to see what you think. But at the same point, your vids are great (and loving the thumbnail style) so I don't want to seem like a fountain of knowledge and break a good thing 😀 Bw Ben

Sorry for the delay. I wanted to go through my colours and check rather than go from memory. As a caution, I use older citadel names pre contrast, most are still the same but some have changed in name and I don't know the new version and there are no colour matches so the results may vary For the green under suit I would use: castellan green as the base , elysian green as the midtone, moot green & elysian green mix for highlight. For armour I would use: screamer pink as the base, emperors children or fulgrim pink for highlight (depending how saturated you want it) For leather I would use: mournfang brown as the base, kislev flesh as the midtone , screaming skull for the highlight. The weapon I would swap golden brown for ungor flesh, screaming skull for the highlight. For green armour I would use: kabalite green as the base and mix up to pure moot green. I think that's all of the other range alternatives, naturally did not mention the citadel products used as they remain the same. Let me know how it works out if you give it a go, but overall any similar colours to those I use in the video shouod get a similar result. Bw Ben

Cheers, I will have a look and see if I can refine the idea for future attempts 😀 Glad you liked the video though, and now I need bearded heads and do an Armish Guard version now 😆 😂 Bw Ben

@@TheMiniPaintingPage Amish Guard, has a ring to it 😉😁

@@TheMiniPaintingPage Oh and check out Anvil Industries in East London. They have a great selection of extras for conversions (barring slouch hats, so my Anzac Guard idea will have to just wait a while...😒

Thanks for the tip, i will check them out and see what inspiration sparks. if I come across options suitable your side will try to get the message out :) bw Ben

Cheers, and wouldn't be offended I genuinely have no benchmark except youtubers videos on it 😆 . The imperium and mortal realms are a fair bit that I compressed, but I do get the feeling I need to get the number up 😆 What numbers are you looking at in the dark realms of the storage area 😆 ? Bw Ben

It's possibly true. But I have had times where having it can be in handy. I have a small necron/ork combo army, which came about quickly due to having the kits on hand 😄 Also if I sold it I would most likely buy more kits for use on the channel anyway. Assume that's how you manage your collection? Or just paint what you buy etc ? Bw Ben

Thanks Glad you liked it. I think the Palid Hand style scheme works well to and can be done on an army without much issue. 😉 This video makes me think I do need to work on getting better at painting glass bottles 🤣 Bw Ben

That's 400 optional projects to look forward to 😀 What force have you collected ? All one type or a variety.? Bw Ben
