How to Transport Warhammer Miniatures
Here I show you how I went about transporting all my Warhammer minis and paints from Japan back home to Australia. After all these weeks, I've finally gotten myself set up properly, and I'm able to get back to painting.

Speedpainting 20 Tyranids in a Day with #slapchop

Since this is my biggest mini yet, I decided to put a bit more effort into making a dynamic and interesting base to do it justice.

Amateur Paints a BONE WHITE Necron for his 40k Army
Переглядів 628Рік тому
I've always liked the idea of pushing the concept of a 'cyber skeleton', and this colour scheme really marries the two elements together quite well in my opinion. I'm also falling more and more in love with drybrushing the more I do it. After this one I'll be taking a short break from painting necrons to break up the monotony of immortal video after immortal video. Look forward to what I have i...

This one was easily the hardest mini for me to paint so far, but I learned a lot about how to paint on a fundamental level. I hated the way it looked for 90% of the painting process but I'm happy with how it turned out in the end. #warhammer #40k #necrons #painting
Amateur Painter Tries WET BLENDING

While I was working on painting a Necron in a primarily black colour scheme, I decided to play around with wet blending on the energy effects and I was super surprised by how easy and fun the process is. Definitely going to use this technique a lot in the future! #warhammer #necrons #40k #painting

It's been a long road, but I finally got around to editing together the last part of the timelapse. I have finally gotten the squad to a state that I can consider finished. They're definitely not perfect, but if I didn't stop until they were, then I'd never finish painting them. With these minis finished I'm looking forward to painting a variety of different models going forward. #warhammer #ta...

    They look great! Noob here, trying to get the steps correct on the base coat. Prime with black I got, but what type of paints are you using for the two dry brush coats? Acrylic, or another type of primer? Perhaps this is a redundant question but want to be sure I'm using the correct thinking here. Awesome video, helping showcase what can be done with this method for a new person to the hobby.

    • @shellsofiron
      @shellsofiron 7 місяців тому

      Thanks mate! For the drybrush layers you can just use regular acrylics. In my case, I started out with Citadel Grey Seer, and then went over again more lightly with Citadel Corax White. Hope this helps.

    Are your bases magnetized or something? I'm a bit curious about how you were holding them the way you were.

    • @shellsofiron
      @shellsofiron 7 місяців тому

      They are. Whenever I assemble my minis I always glue a couple of tiny magnets to the underside so that I can stick them to a jar lid that I use as a handle while I paint.

      @vinhiem6962 7 місяців тому

      @@shellsofironDo you mind sharing what size/strength they are? I'm trying to magnetize my bases, but my first ones were too strong. I'm trying 4mmx2mm n35 magnets this Friday. The jar lid seems like a really nice size to grip. It's fun seeing how different people end up doing the little details like these.

    • @shellsofiron
      @shellsofiron 7 місяців тому

      The magnets that I used were some that I had gotten from my local dollar store while I was living in Japan. I just checked the packaging and they don't seem to specify the strength of the magnets so I can't really help you there unfortunately, but they're roughly 12mm x 1.5mm. I had initially used some slightly thicker magnets, but once you start going over 3mm thickness they can begin to protrude out from the bottom of the base 👍. @@vinhiem6962

    slap chop really shines with models like these to save time, then i think what really helps is to come back with some choice edge highlights, adds a few more minutes per model but it brings them up another notch

  • @thatoneoctopus7494
    @thatoneoctopus7494 8 місяців тому

    does slapchop work any for models that have been primed white? Because all of my unpainted minis are primed white lol

    • @shellsofiron
      @shellsofiron 8 місяців тому

      You'd still be able to use contrast paints on top for some quick and easy colouring on the models that are primed white, but you wouldn't have the shadows offered by the black undercoat. If you have a black undercoat on hand but prefer working from a lighter basecoat, you could try starting with black and then doing a zenithal prime with your white undercoat as another way of getting some easy shadows. 👍

  • @user-um1xo9ed1x
    @user-um1xo9ed1x 8 місяців тому

    Your first step to slap chop is a dry brush? You don't think that bit between building and dry brushing, you know, priming in black, was a step? Especially given that it provides the dark base under the dry brush that gives you your shadows.

    • @shellsofiron
      @shellsofiron 8 місяців тому

      Great point! I always prime in black so it had completely slipped my mind to mention it in the video but you're right, the black undercoat is super important for building depth, and the technique just wouldn't work without it.

  • @minipaintingforyou
    @minipaintingforyou Рік тому

    The results look great and I mostly use slapchop style painting myself. However I can’t help but notice, that it takes a lot of care to not mess up. I used to paint armies for a gaming buddy back in 4th and 5th edition (thanks to contrast paints he achieves great looking minis himself now 😊). One of the armies I did paint for him were Kraken Tyranids - literally hundreds of them. I think I was just as quick per model, maybe even quicker, using 3 progressive layers of drybrushing on the skin, then a single careful coat over the carapace, followed by a semi careful application of the coloured dashes most everyone puts on the carapaces. A lot less skill and precision involved, quick and easy results. Seeing how good your slapchop drybrush looks, I‘d wager you’d also get better results in less time 😊

    • @shellsofiron
      @shellsofiron Рік тому

      Man, your friend really lucked out in meeting someone willing to paint hundreds of Tyranids for him. But yeah I agree that it’s pretty easy to make mistakes with slapchop, one of the biggest issues was that I didn’t dilute the black contrast on the carapace enough and pretty much completely lost all of the definition I got from the dry brush, so I needed to come back through again at the end to bring the highlights back. I reckon if I’m more careful with the stronger pigmented colours going forward then the results will be a lot nicer.

      @@shellsofiron well, it’s not like I painted all of them at once 🤣 But a box of gaunts here, contents of a starter set there, they add up. Almost 10k points back in 5th ed, including almost every forgeworld monster as well. I learned a lot of techniques I never would have practiced on my own armies. Usually got compensated by receiving a new unit for my own army per unit I painted for him. Was a good deal back then 😅 I never use straight black contrast paint anymore. I mix it 1:1 with basilicanum grey. If that doesn’t end up black enough when dry, I wash the piece with good ol‘ nuln oil, 1-2 coats usually gets the finish I like ☺️

      Ooh, I hadn’t heard that. I didn’t encounter any issues when I painted these ones but maybe since I used it all relatively quickly it didn’t have time to degrade. I imagine if I tried to keep them on the palette overnight there might be issues.
