wonderful stuff! i have recently bought the Japanese starter set so i can get into bolt action, although i wont be following exactly with your painting guide, it sure did help me to understand what colours certain parts of the webbing should be!
Thank you for this. I would be curious to see you revisit previous paint jobs and apply any new knowledge/ color theory you may have learned over the years.
@@PeteTheWargamer Its your channel, man. Anything you think would be fun painting! Although the german creatures, mechs and american tesla weapons look dope as hell ;)
I hate how horribly stereotypical and offensive these sculpts are(hopefully they’ll get an update like the US did), but you did a really great job with the paint as usual Pete
I’m not referring to the poses themselves. It’s the faces. They’re mostly buck toothed caricatures that look like they were ripped right from a 1943 propaganda poster.
I don't mean this as a dig in any way and I think that your techniques are proven from the results. Back in the day, I was taught by very talented miniature painters, to use white mixed with the base color to produce a highlight color. Where you never taught to do this? Or do you just like the idea of the model having 6 to 10 unique colors? Reasoning? I'm not understanding how your technique is better ,as the results seem very similar, and more expensive due to the the number of bottles?
Mixing white vs using a brighter, separate paint have different results and therefore different purposes. Mixing in white will lighten the tone but also de-saturate the colour. Which is why adding white to red makes pink. If you want to maintain intensity of colour in your painting then you will usually want to add more yellow to a mixture. Red + Yellow make orange, Dark Green and Yellow make a grass green colour. In this guide, I took the best of both worlds and mixed in a very pale yellow to most of my basecolors to create the highlights. But that's not the only reason to not use white mixtures. Many people find mixing paints in exact ratios to get the same colour over and over again for painting a full army just isn't practical. So having pre-mixed paints you can use is much easier for army painting.
Warlord Japanese sculpts for you, this one is relatively tame compared to some of the others in the set. Several of them feature the old round glasses and buck teeth like they used propaganda posters as reference instead of actual Japanese people lol

I hope your tank was the plastic one
thanks for the inspiration! I am just now starting IJA army. I appreciate the techniques & tricks.
Thank you for this. I would be curious to see you revisit previous paint jobs and apply any new knowledge/ color theory you may have learned over the years.
This was great! You answered a lot of questions I had on Japanese uniforms. Thanks for sharing this.
Glad it was helpful!
Have you ever considered doing like Tamiya tank model stuff i think that would be quite interesting
Excellent, I have not painted one. Big help.
Thank you for painting a Bolt Action miniature, im doing a Japanese Army soon. Please more Bolt Action miniatures
I hope you get some plastic chi ha's gorgeous kit
@@15mmGustavus I did get that tank, thanks
Wow sharp. A good one Pete
looks awesome
Great tutorial! I just wish you could paint it like that for other rulesets too.
Great paint!
didnt they have an yellow-ish uniform?
please do a Japanese tank soon
You have somehow managed to use 100% paints that I dont own any of. Ill have to find some of the vallejo army paints that match
A conversion guide for Valhallan Ice Warriors would be cool.
My advice is to buy some Russian soldiers from warlord games bolt action range and kitbash with gw guard bits
I wish you made a tutorial on how to paint early war polish infantry .... painting those metal minis is a pain imho.
Very nice!
Thank you! Cheers!
What would be best for panting white japanese uniform such as their shirts?
We need some Konflikt 47 😏😏
Anything in particular from that range?
@@PeteTheWargamer Its your channel, man. Anything you think would be fun painting! Although the german creatures, mechs and american tesla weapons look dope as hell ;)
@@PeteTheWargamer British automated infantry would be cool. Can't go wrong with 1940s Diesel punk robots.
What colours did you use for the water bottle and strapping for it ?.
Could you please do the finnish continuation war rifle men. Great video
Hey Pete maybe an idea for you, to show us how to convert a AOS StD army all marauders theme ?
This is more of an SNLF scheme. Can you please do a more common IJA scheme, or suggest which paints to use for it?
Could u do a video on how 2 paint raven guard plz
BANZAI!

They actually wore those though? Thats an entirely different story

the blurry camera is so annoying.
what's up with the face of the model though O_O?
