looks shit

I want to preface this by saying that I am on the spectrum and it struggle with tone, this comment isn't meant to be hostile , and more of a perspective from a "high level painter" versus someone more interested in army painting. I also want to state that unlike Trovarion I have not entered into competitions, although I am working on a piece to enter into Golden Demon Youngbloods next year or the year after. The blue wash absolutely did something. I'm a traditional artist as well as a miniature painter and colour theory is something that is a huge interest of mine. There are some areas on the metal that the blue is visible on its own that you missed, but It also mixes with the brown and creates a more complex looking colour. Blue cancels out the orange in brown is some areas, it makes it more de-saturated in some areas in a way that just a darker brown wouldn't do and creates a really nice tarnished look. It also bothered me when you said that you could just use agrax earthshade. The tone and colour of agrax are very different from the brown ink (the brown ink is warmer and less dark), and using a standard wash would not give you as much control over the paint. You could but it would look much worse up close than Trovarions. (I do agree that he should have taken the panel lines quite a bit darker though, and the edges should be brighter) Higher level miniature painting is all about having control over the paint, the colour it produces, and how it behaves on the model. The reason he used a smaller makeup style brush and a sponge is also control. Control of the texture and where the paint is going that you wont get just using a bigger drybrush. I do agree that airbushing and using chipping fluid was dumb. He should have skipped the chipping fluid and the airbrush, and chipped manually. You did say that you shouldn't go straight to yellow, which is almost always true, but using chipping fluid is an exception to that rule. You cant do a white first because it will show when chipping. However he should have skipped the chipping fluid entirely, it never looks good. Doing a white and using imperial fist contrast isn't quite how I would do it but its close. I would do a white, do a light wash with a very bright magenta, then use imperial fist. It doesent take much longer and adds some really nice orange tones. I highly recommend you try it. Much of your issue with this tutorial seems to be that Trovarion is trying to create something that is somewhat fast, but looks good very close, and pretty alright far away with lots of colour variation and texture. Trovarions miniature contains varied colours, textures, and detail that you would completely miss on the table. Your goal with painting more seems to be something fast that looks good on a table top. Sacrificing the nuance for more speed and less effort, achieving a high contrast and high impact look. Trovarions tutorial wasn't a bad video, its just not for you. Understanding the target audience of a video is very important when looking for tutorials and a skill many should work on. I'm not watching midwinter minis to help with my competition piece for example.

I'm kinda of the same view as everyone else... As someone who paints where's your perfect model? People have different styles. You can look at a model and like some bit and others not so much. You take the bits you like and you adapt it to yourself, your own style. She's got battered brushes and some of them I'd throw in the bin and she still pulls paint jobs together. Then again as a painter are there some things you get right - in your mind - and other things you don't do as well. Something a bit more constructive might be a bit more helpful to both you and her. I'm subscribed to her and not to you and based on this video I won't be subscribing to you because I like her attitude much more than yours. Maybe that's something to think on going forward.

Noice!

Ah, a hate filled video of a painting snob babbling about how he doesnt like something. Let people enjoy things. You dont see me making videos about how obnoxious the constant limey accents are in every gamesworkshop video. Thank god for Kitten, Bricky, Dante, Brad, Eric and the like. If i have to listen to any more rrrrrrrrolling ARches, Baldimumble, or the high lord of "wafflin" ill go mad.

Feral Painter is awesome. Not sure how this idiots video popped up on my feed??

Will you ever come back to gaslands content? I love Warhammer, but there is just something special about your builds

His look better than yours though

Like how you can critique others efforts of painting when you can back it up yourself is beyond me. Ridiculous, 0/10 wouldn’t hazard stripe again.

Autism

You don't need tape to paint hazard stripes, every video you've criticized for doing this have look perfectly fine. That proves you don't need tape. Except the feral painter which looked awful.

Use your hand to paint hazard stripes if you're not a pussy.

You forgot to mention the necessity of using a cutting mat

Don't really get why you'd make hate video for a young energetic fan creating content and bringing new generations into the hobby. Last I checked you don't need to be a pro painter to create content, and frankly her energy and effort is more entertaining than listening to some bitter dour nerd trying to gatekeep...

I really want to get into Turnip28 from the moment I saw that Bruva Alfabusa battle report. I'm going to build a couple of squads because I'm running a game of Traveller 2e, and I'm using the setting of Austerlitz as a planet my players can go to.

JH Miniatures, I take it then you have the expert tutorial on how to paint hazard stripes, I'd like to see it! Show us how it's done.

i feel like this is a ton of hate for someone having fun and making fun videos, you just turned on a fire hose of negativity

Toxic sludge

This video convinced me not to drill me barrels, not because I don't think it looks good (I do), and not because I can't be arsed (I can), but because I would rather throw myself off a building than risk having other people think that I agree with this guy.

Just awesome. Great work. AMAZING. Mike 😊

1" stir.sticks and plastics bits

Tape

Were did you get the part about the cables on the inside of thigh? I"m pretty sure none of the GW models of mk V has them ,hell even the artwork you've shown doesnt.

And to think, trees spent hundreds of years growing just to give you oxygen.... What a waste

Thanks for covering the Iron Warriors. We love them much more than GW thinks we do (probably more than they do). Maybe one day we'll get some actual Iron Warriors sculpts! Oooooh, imagine that! They can be for Horus Heresy or 40k, cause our guys don't change all that much.

Try a barbecue skewer with some beeswax or spray adhesive on it to pick up the balls for the leg mod.

Where did you get the little steel ballbearings?

happy more marines have been converted. the inductees look really cool

Nice conversions. Very cool stuff. Not your usual toy cars 😂😂

Using ball bearings. Superglue a small magnet to the end of something. Grab the ball bearing, Dip it into a small amount of glue and push it into the hole. You can also use nail art beads. They are small glass beads and then use a diamond art applicator which is essentially a brush with no bristles which you apply a wax end to.

Super inspiring stuff dude! Makes me want to get back in to it again.

if the blue wash does nothing then prove it, grab some minis and paint them up.

So a guy whos is mediocre painter being butthurt of better painters

Oh and you wanted to answer 1 thing that oil washes do that water based acrylic washes can't. The answer to that one is pretty easy. Oil and enamel based washes have a higher capillary action. Meaning they seek out and pool in the recesses more. I don't hit an all over wash with a lot of my miniatures with oil washes, I panel line. But I think Miniac and a few other tutorials also show that you can purposefully leave an area of was behind and then wipe it back in a controlled matter to make a smooth transition into the shadows. It makes painting easier especially if you're like me and don't mind the smells and can handle yourself around potentially toxic chemicals. Also, personally, I find it significantly more satisfying to paint with oils and artist paints given the level of control that I can get. Everyone loves to sing the praise of Bold titanium white from Proacryl and that is a great paint, but you can get/make a better product for much cheaper by just buying a tube of artist grade titian white ink or paint and diluting it to the level you desire. My single tube of ivory black oil paint from schmincke cost me 10 dollars and lasted me now 3 armies and a smattering of individual pieces. and it's not even halfway through.

bro proudly anounces he has 7 years worth of videos but is loosing to a guy with 1 years worth of videos, this is what we call a serious skill issue

So what's even the point of this video anyways?

The Critique on the wash here is kinda brainless. The new citadel washes are significantly thinner than this dilute contrast mix. Adding additional layers of wash will add more layers dry layers of contrast medium. It likens the effect of putting multiple thin filters on something verses one slightly more opaque filter. The effect is visually different. Also. it saves time. Also Ratling grime is a unique color. Seems nitpicky to the extreme particularly given the fact that based on your most recent showcase... the metallic effect that he is able to achieve here is significantly more realistic than yours. This is either clout chasing, your acting delusional, or you're genuinely serious and comically wrong. Chose your path, white man.

The description says satire guys

Terrible paint job. Maybe look up a tutorial to get better at painting?

She's awesome and enthusiastic, you're boring and mean. You praised a man using Averland Sunset but hate her use of it. You say her hazards are bad but you show off your own and they're not straight at all. What an arse.

my guy i wouldnt be calling flak on others paint jobs after you posted your own IWs XD

I came for the comments. 11/10, not disappointed.

my gawd, my guy! didn't you know agrax earthshade is the best for painting zebra stripes on pedestrian crossings? I mean, my guy!

🤡

What a pretentious angle you used to show off how utterly garbage your hazard stripes are on your models

So where do we find your painting tutorials and golden demons? This was pretty pathetic tbh, your points were bad and you should feel bad.

Definitely bought his 10k subs from bot farms. What an absolute loser

Wow, I started watching this thinking YOU were trying someones painting recipe... not what I expected

Nice update! Really hyped to see the project taking off! A few notes on your guys if you want to save some dismantling work (or ignore if you want to hehe) The meltagun guy, as you mention you can expand him into a full tactical support squad of 5-10 meltaguns, OR just keep him in your collection and put him in a veteran squad when you have the need for his skills. Veteran Squads can have 2 special/heavy weapons, and a meltagun is always useful for popping a transport and letting the rest of his squadmates clean up in close combat. Your combi weapons can either also be used in command squads, veteran squads or seeker squads depending on your needs and preferences. Or as sergeants of course. The Typhon is OK, it is great at being a big threat bubble but the rules for its gun is pretty hit or miss. Either it will completely destroy things or just leave a tiny scratch. That being said - I still want one! Looking forward to following your progress :)

Have to say I actually like watching these critique videos. There are things, even as a beginner that you should do and not do. And if you are a beginner, you want to find a guide that is going to teach you the right way.
