Stellar job. That part about "believing in yourself" whilst freehanding the arm tattoo is Orky AF and lore accurate. Because we ALL believe you will suceed.
So good to be back brother. It’s like when you buy a new pair of shoes and they feel amazing, but for some reason you don’t wear them for ages and then when you put them back on, it’s like woah… or something
I love this channel! I stumbled on it randomly a couple years ago I think, and even though I'm not involved in the miniature hobby myself, I really enjoy watching you paint these incredible figures and talk your way through the methods, it's actually quite relaxing and I appreciate you sharing!
Good to see you back! Your videos inspired me first to get into the warhammer hobby and second to actually try my hand at painting and converting models! Haha I can’t wait to see what you have in store!
@@Mezgike With your attention to detail I’d love to see what you would do with an alpha legionary! With many avenues available I could definitely see you going many cool directions with the conversion! But mainly I’m just excited to see what next amazing video you come out with haha!
Mez you are my favorite minature painter. Its not just your fantastic modelling and painting style but your relaxed almost uncaring attitude that really makes you stand above the rest. I'm glad you are back brother. All the best to you.
I guess you've got lots of expertize in painting tanks before, great to see borrowing same approach with realistic colours, surroundings, dust, etc. Looks stunning, please continue.
Finally! Been checking for ages and it’s great to see you back. Real nice sculpt and excellent paintwork as always - looking forward to you future work dude!
I have so much to come. I want to make this channel great again. Thanks so much for watching. What kinds of things would you like to see in the future?
@@ketotze good to know! Hard to know about stuff like music. Sometime when I’m editing and I play it back it blows me ears away! So I’m like “shit better turn it down a bit”
Phenomenal- simply phenomenal painting from start to finish. Such a fun listen as well haha I may never get to this level but I can’t wait to try (glad to see more videos are up too!)
Thank you so much for your kind words. I believe you could reach any level of painting if you really want to and if you make it your mission to do so. It’s just dedication. And I’m always here to help
Aw ye, one of my favourites. Can’t wait to see what you do! I’d love to see a space wolf or dark angel, maybe blood angels too. They are my favourite other than white scars that you did all that time ago
So glad you like it! And yes I’m planning on all 3 of those chapters. Especially keen to do a space wolf boss. I have a really clear idea of what he’ll look like. What kinds of things would you like to see with a dark angel? Just curious because I don’t know as much about them
Bloody hell .. well done Mez.. Your 2 Orks you put up here might just be the coolest mini's Ive seen.. Very scrappy.. Really fits the universe with the different guns on each side.. Damn! Keep up the great work..
Thanks mate. I’m actually so excited to be back. I’ve missed you guys and I’m going to make this channel as great as I can. Any requests for videos my mate?
@@Mezgike well, completely feeding my own personal bias, chaos knights are my fixation at the moment. but any video you put out, i will watch in its entirety, regardless.
Very nice paintjob. Learned a few new things about painting. Especially the Kislev Flesh on the leather is awesome. I'm gonna buy me a pot asap. For the rust I prefer Skrag Brown but I will give Fire Dragon Bright a try.
Thanks! You know with rust, you can honestly use all sorts of colours. Even a sandy colour can look good. Use what ever brown you want mate. Thanks for watching
The green “radar” look on the dials reminds me of the screens in the glider scene from Escape from New York. Interesting way James Cameron who was the FX dude at the time made them. Chucked like glow the dark tape or special black light tape onto edges of black boxes shaped like buildings.
@@Mezgike That's awesome! If you have a plan for physical and they can get to Los Angeles, I don't mind waiting. Plenty to paint but will definitely jump on it once you're ready.
Mezgike's top five rules to painting: 1. Borrow your wife's/husband's/most significant other's items 2. Borrow your wife's/husband's/most significant other's items 3. Borrow your wife's/husband's/most significant other's items 4. Borrow your wife's/husband's/most significant other's items 5. Borrow your wife's/husband's/most significant other's items Fantastic to hear that you are finally getting aircon as well mate. Really top job that.
@@Mezgike lol honestly just a great tutorial. I bought this model the other night you helped me out with the price, just bought your amazing boss grot too. It's gonna be on a display base.
@@jezzamatic oh wow! You must be Matt. How legendary. Can’t wait to see it painted, please show me once you’ve got it done. So glad you’re enjoying your models!
Amazing model and amazing paint job. Always a pleasure to see a Mezgike video. Plus, there is a way to make Agrax better, add more Agrax to it, twice the Agrax is better than once the Agrax, simple Ork math. As a side question, what is your opinion on the good ol' contrast paints, don't think I ever seen you use them.
This is genius. Of course you can make agrax better, why didn’t I think of this! I haven’t really given the contrast paints a solid go to be honest, I mean not like how they were designed to be used. I use them a lot as either glazes or thin them down with washes.
So bloke at the Warhammer shop in Broady says that because the models are small that that makes it easier which he said is counter intuitive. Would that be coz a larger model would have more chances to show mistakes and bad brush lines etc? Kinda makes sense but also painting minis seems pretty tricky. I’m still waiting for my first ever stuff to arrive and have no clue how it will be yet.
Well I guess being small makes them easy to handle, and there is less surface area to paint. My advice is to go into this expecting it to be exciting, fun and enjoyable, not something that is either easy or hard. The harder you try the harder it is, which only means you’re pushing yourself to do your best. There are so many ways to paint minis. You can spend hours painting a hand, or you can spend 1 minute. It’s up to you to find the balance of what looks best to you, how long you want to spend, and how enjoyable you make it.
@@MezgikeI’m using this video as a basis for my Orks. I especially like the darker greens you use as I don’t like the really bright green that I often for their skin. I think Orks are good for me to start with as they are naturally messy anyway. But! I have to say I like your tutorials most because of the way you talk about painting and that it isn’t something to fret over. When you say things like “We’re just getting this bit here done. We’re not worried” means a lot and is super encouraging to me and no doubt many painters noob and pro. You often remind us watching that we need not worry about shit so much and that will help us to branch out and get better and not care about mistakes. And I put off starting war gaming coz I used to tell myself I’d be shit at painting the minis. Fucking love your work mate!
I don’t have physical miniatures yet but I am organising it. However, if you subscribe to my patreon, I can organise a professional printer to print and ship the model to you for a reasonable price. Many of my patrons do this so they have the physical models
@@Mezgike It really is. I think I spotted layer lines once or twice in this video and they didn't seem particularly prominent! Time to start saving haha.
@@willjones1696 if you look super close you will see some but they’re so feint and you only see them in certain light. After a few coats of paint they’re all gone. Also the phrozen mini was pretty cheap. So cheap for what it is
@@Mezgike That's true. Compared to the Mars 2 Pro that currently have, your print is on a completely different level. You're right, it's very cheap for what it can produce! Still, as a student might take a while to save 😂
Hello Mezgike. I got a question..or rather s request. Have you seen the new Gundam artifact series? They are the size of the miniatures you paint but they have sp much detail. Is there anyway you would do one for the channel? Id love to see ypur process. Ill even buy you one and send it if you would consider it. They are only 8$
Yeah man maybe, I was looking at some fundamental stuff at the hobby shop the other day. I like mechs and they definitely interest me. You don’t need to send one to me though, when I get a chance I will get one and paint it :)
@@Mezgike you da man...may i at least suggest one? There are only 10 at the present and if you do partake od love to see you do the nightingale..its an awesome mech and for some reaspn he has a big ole robodick..youll see what i mean. Kudos
It’s worth the wait, glad to see you back on UA-cam 🙏
Thanks so much, I’ve got a lot of content coming for you
Stellar job.
That part about "believing in yourself" whilst freehanding the arm tattoo is Orky AF and lore accurate. Because we ALL believe you will suceed.
Haha! Thanks
You know I love a good smooth rim. I'm proud of Da Road Boss' rim. Incredible miniature, paint job and production.
Thanks bro :) glad the rim is up to your standards
Love the raw enthusiasm yet mellow tone to your commentary, mate. Really entertaining, but informative too.
Thanks bro! Just be yourself, that's what's really cool. Words by Zoolander, words to live by :-)
it's a good day when a mezgike video comes out!
I make my return
Absolutely mint video and awe inspiring paint job.
Thanks so much, I’m glad you like it. I bet you’d love a space wolves one
Mez is back on the 'Tube! So excited!! I love this print!!!!! can't wait to get mine all painted up
So good to be back brother. It’s like when you buy a new pair of shoes and they feel amazing, but for some reason you don’t wear them for ages and then when you put them back on, it’s like woah… or something
Good to see u back doing what I love. Long format curated painting! Bloody oath

@@Mezgike Good to hear!
Been an age. Good to see another video.
Been too long. I hope you want more!

Thanks so much for the complement my mate. Hope you’re ready for some more very soon :) get your painting socks on
I was desperate that you wouldn’t return. Glad that you did.
Sorry my friend. I was away doing what I had to do, but I’m back now and I have big plans for this channel.
Dude, freaking awesome as usual!
Thanks Josh! Glad you like it
I guess you've got lots of expertize in painting tanks before, great to see borrowing same approach with realistic colours, surroundings, dust, etc. Looks stunning, please continue.
Great mini and great paint job, glad to have your videos back in the mix!

Bro, so glad you are back! I’m blowing through all your new videos, the commentary is pure gold. Looks like I’ve got to learn 3d printing now. Cheers!
Thanks mate glad you’re keen! I was resistant to 3d printing at first but it changed my world. It’s amazing
Amazing model!!! It’s sooo great to see your back on UA-cam!!!
It’s so good to be back. Get ready for more!!
My favorite mini-painter is back! Man, it's been a minute since my last Mezgike fix lol, and that model is really cool, great video!

With everything thats been happening with Australia I've been pretty worried about you. Can't wait for more videos
