@@pdubb9754 Yeah, the pale green lightens the red for the highlight, but doesn't turn it pink like white would. Thanks for checking out the video!

@@iwasreloading1974 Thanks!

@@RustedBrush Thanks for checking it out! It was a fun diversion from my norm.

I would have said "urine colored" just because I could

@@catpurple5262 Hey, I somehow missed your comment. Funny, sometimes when buying paint, I'll ask the clerk to tell me what color it is in "real" colors. Just tell me if it's green or tan, cuz I don't know what "Desert Sand" means.

@@MrPigments If you're talking pigments, I'd say that I tend to believe anything you say😁. I do see the orange tint in the pyrole red, but the Monument Hobbies pyrole red is so darn vibrant that it reads as more "red" (to my old eyes, anyway). Nothing I do is scientifically deliberate. I go by feel. And I get bored really easy, which drives me to try different things. I could have just used a brown base coat for the red, but I've done that before. (Things go south in the next video where I try to mix orange and blue for the same effect). Speaking of pigments, what do you think of Monument Hobbies Magenta? I usually just call it "pink" when I use it in a video. I may be color blind. Shoot me a link to your discord in the comment that I left on your latest video!

@@ThrehaneMiniatures So proacryl "magenta" is pink. To mix pink you need PR122 Quinacridone magenta and PW6 Titanium Dioxide Rutile(titanium white, there are 4 versions of this). To opacify a paint you add titanium white and about .25% carbon black, so calling it pink would be 1000% correct.

@@MrPigments Yeah, in my previous "Red Cape" video I touched on the concept of companies adding adding black/white to their paints to increase opacity, and the problem it can cause when mixing miniature paints. It often results in a very gray version of the color that you're actually going for. I think that the Army Painter Fanatics line has taken this to a whole new level...greater opacity, but I find the hues quite desaturated.

@@ThrehaneMiniatures I can help you whenever you need weird information about this stuff because I have it all and I have documents for it as well. There's always something in the professional side too that can fit those really niche needs that you need like a very opaque but very very bright yellow. It's just sometimes extremely expensive if you buy small bottles example: bismuth vanadate. However it is worth the cost if you're looking for an easy to use opaque vibrant yellow because you're not going to get better than something like golden soflat's version. I have a fairly large collection of paints and pigments that I can also use for color matching almost any paint.

@@MrPigments I've heard fantastic reviews about the Golden So Flat, but I have pulled the trigger on those, yet. My favorite paints tend to be "whatever is on sale" at the moment. I've even painted entire miniature sets with Artist Loft paints. And yes, I know how you feel about those being the greatest pigmented paints ever!

@@TylerBelmont Thank you!

@@JustinDecker-f1n Thanks, friend! Ha ha, no side hustle. The only side hustle this weekend is stolen catalytic converter replacement/exhaust repair (those sons-uh-bitcthes!). I could make a video on it, but I don't think UA-cam would appreciate it. I may not be a pro mechanic, but I sure can swear like one when you put me under a car😅.

@@catpurple5262 Thanks!

@@iwasreloading1974 This one was fun. It was nice to get back to layer painting. Thanks for watching!

@@ThrehaneMiniatures Yeah no problem! looking forward to next Saturday!

@@iwasreloading1974 I'll do my best to keep 'em coming!

@@Cut2theKwik Thanks for the feedback! I will definitely put out some painting videos on these guys in the future. Unfortunately, right now I literally just have the miniatures. No other art. No other info about how the individual characters play. I wish I could provide more detailed information for you!

Very excited to see you paint them. I'll probably steal some ideas lol. Personally, I think I'll intentionally avoid the color combinations that the game depicts them as

@@Cut2theKwik I'm glad you said that. It encourages me to explore other options. I really didn't want to paint orange leaves on Elkthorn, but I want sure how people would feel about that.

@ThrehaneMiniatures If it were an established game world, I'd feel differently. But it's a completely new game so I kinda feel like everything is available to us. Who's to say Elkhorn isn't a species and the one in the picture would be a different color than the one in your collection, if that makes sense

@@Cut2theKwik It's a good point. The 3 different pieces of art that I found for Golomo may even support this idea. I really like the pic of him holding the two different colored flame effects.

@@jaimearredondo5134 Nice. Great to have you here!

@@the250mikec Thanks.

@@catpurple5262 I appreciate it!

@@jake7499 Great comment! Love the enthusiasm! I'm smiling ear-to-ear right now. Thanks for watching!

@@iwasreloading1974 Thanks! I appreciate the encouragement. The editing/technical side of this endeavor has definitely been the most challenging for me.

@@ramonosuke Thanks. I appreciate that feedback! I'd like to start doing reviews of newly released boardgame miniatures, but I'm not sure how that will be received on a painting channel. I agree, those Grimcoven miniatures look quite intimidating (I'm not saying that I also have a few prototypes of those....but...). I did back Grimcoven because I'm looking for an alternative to CDMD, that is also different enough to warrant owning both. It's a gamble, but I also know that I'll enjoy painting those ridiculous minis. I'm definitely breaking out the airbrush for those!

@@ThrehaneMiniatures Oh absolutely! I think Grimcoven gameplay wise looks right up my alley, but knowing me I'd love to paint it up first, but that "overly textured" look of the prototype minis, makes me want to grab speedpaint over traditional paint for them. My issue is I've never been able to make 'slapchop' look as good as videos make it out to look, and as a still a beginner painter, Grimcoven looks to be a beast to paint up. I did back Blood from Ludus Magnus, cause loved the art style and gameplay which is quite similar to GC ala Boss battler adjacent so depending on updates for GC, I may back it too

@@ramonosuke Blood looks so good also! I was tempted to back it just for that scarecrow. So cool. I ultimately choose GC just because I'm more familiar with the company behind it. I've never played a Ludas Magnus game, but I've heard good things about Black Rose Wars.

@@radat1277 It was fun, and a bit unexpected. I'm curious, what are your thoughts about me doing this type of content? Are reviews/unboxings for newly released board game miniatures something that interests you, or should I just stick to painting the miniatures? I thought that Cthulhu: Fear of the Unknown would be my first video of this type, but then these came along.

@@ThrehaneMiniatures unboxing content and mini reviews are really solid. You'll also catch a lot of folks who didn't pledge and are curious about whether they should pick it up from Game Steward or retail.

@@John_on_the_mountain Perfect! Thanks!

@@ThrehaneMiniatures i use to prime my minis black then have to go over it again with Vallejo black. No more!!

@@ThrehaneMiniatures You're too kind

@@MrPigments I may have to start consulting with you before I post anything relating to color theory😃

@@ewchi-m4n012 Very interesting approach. I like it!

@@yakkyuu12 Thanks! This is a perfect comment for the "sticky mini" discussion that we had in this recent video! ua-cam.com/video/40eMc48FwpY/v-deo.htmlsi=z45D4bF_HGF7j6Ff One question: since you are using an airbrush, do you find that there is an advantage to using decanted spray paint through an airbrush, instead of using regular thinned acrylic paints? It sounds like a lot of work. What would the advantage be? (Okay, that's two questions😁) Thank you for your comment!!!

@@ThrehaneMiniatures The ONLY advantages I am sure of: 1) the cost is so much lower than quality acrylic paints or acrylic inks.( you do get a lot more paint)----- ESPECIALLY compared to --ALL the JAPAN BASED paints people use on miniatures and CREATIX! 2) Whatever you put into the airbrush in terms of -- MATTE or Gloss finish, you WILL get that really solid coverage AND the Finish you chose -- the finishes are VERY NICE and they airrbrush VERY EVENLY! 3) Storing in a jar-- I have just shaken decanted spray paint -- 4 months later and -- then sprayed--- worked very nicely!! Your Acrylics ALWAYS dry matte, if you add GLOSS medium you HAVE NO CHOICE but to mix at getting the RIGHT combination to get THEE finish you want, rattle cans are ALREADY blended to give you and even finish( unless you hold your airbrush in ONE place and flood the spot you are painting) Acrylics do give you SO MANY MORE great paint choices and MUCH better choice in creating your own colors!---That is a big advantage! Acrylics do not take as much work to clean and make SURE the spray paint is ALL out( you do NOT want spray paint and Acrylics coming together--BIG MESS! (oil or solvents do NOT MIX with acrylics!( its thee oil not mixing with water problem!!) I do give Acrylics a BIG EDGE and do use them much more. The reason for the rant above is for people who can't afford quality acrylics AND the mediums! These people do not want to mix paints and just want that color that is in the can!

@@yakkyuu12 Ah, got it. Thanks for the awesome information!!!

@@abyoyo That seems to be the consensus. I only stray from the Rustoleum when using a paint +primer in one on softer plastic miniatures, like those found in some less expensive board games. Thank you for checking our the channel!!!

@@markrond2395 Using an airbrush really is the fastest way to paint! A rattle can is a fine alternative for those who are resistant to purchasing an airbrush. For the next two Nemesis hero characters, I'm planning to continue with the cheating OSL, but I'll give them a more detailed, layered paint job on the front. Thanks for watching!!!

@@the250mikec Finally!!!! Someone made it to the end of the video!😂 YOU rock!!! Thanks for watching, and thank you for participating!!!

@@iwasreloading1974 Thank you for the encouragement!

@@catpurple5262 Are you just saying that cuz it's purple? Thanx for watching!

@@dougsundseth6904 You are absolutely correct about the difficulty in determining which spray lacquer you have now. As far as I know, it is no longer branded as "Dullcote" (in the US, anyway). It was much easier when that was on the label. Now you have to look at the product description for, "altering glossy surfaces to give them a flat look". Not quite as user friendly. Thank you for pointing that out! I should have been more thorough in the video.

@@McClane4Ever. I've heard great things about the Krylon camo black. I still need to try that one out. I find it impressive that you've dialed-in your primer selection based on the type of paint that will follow. That's something that I haven't considered. Thank you for the very constructive comment!

@@MrOmega-cz9yo Very, very, cool tip! That's honestly something I've never considered. Thank you for the useful info!

@@ThrehaneMiniatures Glad you liked it. I first ran into this for touch-ups. We used to do things like base coating 30 models with say, blue. If a model or two got chipped later on, this method was the only way to get a proper color match. Also, don't forget to wear a disposable glove, otherwise you will primer/paint your finger! 😁

@@phillipstone3116 Tiny, yes! And there were 216 of them. Having them painted actually makes the game easier to play. Thanks for the comment! The Fire Giant was painted using Soratro's painting video, which is beyond excellent, so I won't be posting a lava video unless I can present something that is genuinely "mine". I'm happy to provide a link to his video here: ua-cam.com/video/hudimWrlbVQ/v-deo.htmlsi=Vc9hoxL0heurGhYw I hope you check it out!

That is amazing, sounds like a lot of effort with a lot of pay off (LOTR are my favorite movies and one of my favorite books). I am currently painting Journeys in Middle Earth. Thanks for the link! I like Sorastro's stuff!

@@iwasreloading1974 Thanks! This one took some adjusting on the fly, but I still really enjoyed it!

@@puzzlejinx That, absolutely, is the lesson! Words to live by. I learned this the hard way, early on, thinking that what worked for me in the past would also work for every situation going forward. Not so. Thank you for your comment!

@@Trueflights Yeah, where I've occasionally run into problems is with paint+primer in one, or with the really soft miniature plastics. Flat primers on hard plastics are almost always a safe bet. Thanks for checking out the channel!

@@ThrehaneMiniatures ive never actually used that. I just use the basic cheap rattle can of black, gray, or white (depending on the colors that i'm using) as a primer itself and then just use water based acrylics to paint over it as normal. I've never had any issues. I should mention that 90% of the models I have done this with were GW style hard plastic though (the rest were 3d printed PLA), so I'm not sure if it would have different results for other types.

@@catpurple5262 Thanks, bud. I went into this one pretty cocky, expecting smooth results instantly, like with the blue halfchop. Turns out using this approach with red requires some tweaking.

@@nonamo5700 Thanks. I appreciate the support!

@@cronkitepercussion Thank you. I appreciate the kind words!

@@cronkitepercussion Thank you for the comment! I'll have to give Antelope brown a try.

@@paulwalker5221 Interesting. So, you finish your painting projects with a coat of gloss varnish, followed by a coat of matte varnish? I assume that's because of the extra durability that the gloss varnish provides...or is there an ascetic reason for the dual clear coats?

@@ThrehaneMiniatures only with army painter speed paints, as gloss protects more from handling in games. If using inks or acrylics, shades etc, Matt varnish only is required.

@@paulwalker5221 Ah, got it. Thanks!

@@Bish186 I use airbrush priming on particularly finicky plastics, but still find myself going back to cabs for the convenience. Laziness, I guess.
