Was super excited for these I saw some great modern warfare 40K themed miniatures that will fit perfectly for this !!! It’s Grimtac airborne for those curious !!😊
As someone who is slowly getting into the hobby and learning to paint myself, this is definitely gonna help me when i pick up a basilisk in the next few weeks
That thing is crazy! Looking forward to eventually paint armor soon TM. The window effects on the gun turret were great! Thanks for this :D Also that sweater looks comfy as heck.
Thanks! Hopefully some of the information was helpful for your future painting! And yes that sweater is probably my favorite piece of clothing I own, you can even take it outside in freezing temps and stay warm as long as its not crazy windy.
Really nice walkthrough! My first mini, a Stormsword I built a year ago, used a very similar brush-based approach. Your explanation of chipping, and the diagram you used, was terrific.
@@HereticsHeroes These practical demos are important for understanding. Layla Mev does the same thing regularly and it really helps illustrate abstract things. Thank you!
That turret is awesome reminds me of the warhound titan head. I have had some success with AK chipping to save time, would love to see a vid of you using that!
In future videos, could you include a short warning about flashing lights content? I loved the photo shoot reveal, but for people with epilepsy (like me 😀), the flashing transitions were difficult to watch without any forewarning.
Great video! I really like the way you use the graphics program (Photoshop maybe? I don't know what program that is) to show how you plan things (like damage in this video, in the 'edge highlighting video it was about volumetric light). Super cool and you gained another subscriber today :)
You should check out all of Maelstrom's designs. It's a mix of SciFi,40k, and modern military vehicles. His Land Raider/ Baneblade is crazy huge and brutal looking. Many of them can be used as imperial guard or Space Marines, with weapons options for different vehicles in those ranges.
my reason for not having an airbrush for miniatures painting is in part because if it breaks i probably can't afford to replace it. i suspect i am not the only one in that boat
I painted a whole ass predator tank for 40 k with a brush. I don't really have a painting space in which I could use airbrush or spray can without making a mess everywhere.
Love this. This is my technique too. But remember CRAFT ACRYLICS are your friend. I don't do enough large areas to warrant the expense, the spray booth, and the learning curve of an air brush. CRAFT ACRYLIC PAINTS are quality and cheap, even art acrylics. Sure I use model paints for minis, but for buildings and vehicles use CRAFT PAINTs. In the end weathering, washes etc get rid of brush strokes. Note. thie is great for chunky knotty vehicles and buildings, not so much aircraft.
I think I would agree about craft paints for some terrain pieces, but I'd be very hesitant to use them on a model like this for fear of clogging details and not getting a durable finish. I used non-miniatures spray primer (white) for the first time on this model and I was very disappointed in it, it rubbed off down to the resin in many places, whereas the GW primer (black) held firm everywhere. I'm afraid I might have similar problems with the craft paints.
@@HereticsHeroes I have never had a problem with craft paint clogging details on a model. As for wear three things 1) a good spray prime holds craft paint well 2) I usually finish my models with a good clear gloss spray for protection 3) Then flat clear spray for finish. But I must say I have worked mainly with plastic and wood kits and not so much resin. The resin 15mm tanks I did I chiefly used spray paint. Love rattle cans!
The video was interesting, but missed the topic somehow. The big difficulty with painting such a huge model without an airbrush is applying the basecoat without any streaks, everything else in this video is more or less optional. Unfortunately, you glossed about the only step one struggles with without an airbrush. You might consider changing the video title.
Going to have to disagree there. People use airbrushes for a lot more than just getting a basecoat down. If that were the only place people struggled, I would have just said buy some appropriately colored spray paint. If *you* are having problems with getting smooth base coats down with a large brush, that's a matter of paint dilution and brush loading, which is not a vehicle specific issue. People use airbrushes for shading, discoloration from environmental factors, camo, weathering, etc. which I showed brush based alternatives for.
@@HereticsHeroes Hm, I see where you are coming from. Also, my comment reads a bit more curt than intended (we Germans often sound a bit harsher than we want to in English). To me there are three things an airbrush can do that my brush doesn't do as good, as fast, or both, and that's quickly applying perfectly smooth coats, gradients and blends. All things especially interesting on larger models. While I do have my techniques (fine sponging, wet blending etc., so my base coats are fine), I'm always interested to see someone else's ways of doing things and learn a thing or two. What I was trying to convey is, from the perspective of a beginner or a hand brush only painter, there is no preconceived notion of needing an brush alternative to the shown weathering and detailing techniques, since the idea of using an airbrush for those isn't there (yet). Anyways, I did enjoy the video and learned a thing or two, so thank you ✌
Great model, great paint job and lets not forget the hekking beaut of a doggo.
Thank you! Yeah he's a very good boi
Seeing the brush method for the camo has given me the confidence to paint the handful of Baneblades I've had kicking around. Great video!
Some of us dont like the hassle of changing paints and spending more time cleaning the air brush than using it.

I give you a thumbs up for the doggo in the start of this video!
He's in a lot of my videos!
Liked the way you did the tracks

Glad you liked it! I'm happy someone appreciated my little photoshop demonstration.

Thanks this is the video I needed 🎉
can we get a link to that humongus vehicle dude?
Links to both of the designers web-stores are in the description

I haven't ever really used those kinds of thing before, but the weathering did take really really long by hand lol so I may have to try
that tank looks great and your painjob is too
Thank you!
This is such a relaxing way to learn, thank you

Thanks! Yeah it's was just a quick screen capture in photoshop. I really think having a visual demonstration like that makes the theory click better!
These are the kinda models I wanna see in warhammer. Some more realistic designed and i guess you could say sensible designs
Yeah, Maelsrom's designs are a great mix of real life and grimdark.

Looks amazing!
Thanks!
This would also make a good mastodon with a bit of kitbashing👀
I think it's a bit small for a Mastodon, lol. Check out the Maelstrom Designworks pages I linked, he might actually have a proper Mastadon model.
Great video mate, could I get the colour for that turret ? Such a good looking green
Vallejo black green, washed in a mix of agrax and nuln oil, highlight with death guard green
Do you have a video on how to build that Amtrack crassus?
That's a 3D print by Maelstom Designworks. It was sent to me fully printed and assembled actually, but you could try reaching out to him for pointers.

I totally get you, this behemoth is like 4 times the size of a predator so it was a slog

The real question is, can that be looted for Orks?
If you are super okay with cutting up resin sure
I thought that was a crassus at first
It is a Crassus
@ I meant that i thought that it was the actual forgeworld crassus model at first.

@disnonn fair enough. No worries on the tone, I was told I'm too harsh too at my old job.
