Always refreshing to see somebody show that it doesn't have to always be base, wash, edge highlighting. You made this video enjoyable to watch. I like it when a video gives some ideas to try out oneself and not just consuming somebody painting really good.
Super Zusammenfassung! Die kürzeren Videos finde ich sehr viel passender für die Sehgewohnheiten. Für Videos über 30 Minuten fehlt mir meistens die Zeit. So top zusammengefasst, kann ich viel mehr mitnehmen. So einen Lüfter hatte ich auch mal Monate in der Wohnung. Definitiv megastressig. Ich hoffe, es bleiben keine Schäden übrig.
I'm somewhat surprised that the educational quality of miniature videos seems to be going up and up and up because this video is by far the best explanation of "tabletop++" quality painting I've seen thus far. Darren prefers a more Citadel style while Vince is a bit too chaotic :P
Wow!!! I must of watched 100+ miniature painting videos over the last few weeks (looking to start a new hobby) and this has to be by far the best I've seen! Absolutely amazing work!
I teach miniature painting classes at a local store and I always recommend your channel to my students, this video and the last one are F**king gold and packed full of educational material that breaks people away from the GW method which in is a trap to new painters imo
You give the best advice, and your style is eye candy with all the fine details and light effects. But I finally comment, because your update from the house was cut very funny. As someone who grew up with Simpsons, South park, Patrice O'Neal and two boys with ADHD I am surrounded with funny stuff forever and not easy to surprise, but you got me chuckling and laughing my ass of today - well done sir and have a great day
I haven't started to paint minis yet, but you just complete revolutionized the way I see the hobby! It is the first time I feel really compelled to begin, all the minis, even the ones made by professionals always looked so unrealistic to me that there was nothing to aim for on the long run, there were the fantastic ones that just seemed even more unattainable, but now I understand why they are so good and what to work towards some day! Thank you!
I love the outtakes! UA-cam viewers on the whole can’t imagine how long it takes to be concise and clear. I could never do it! It’s hard enough for me to design and record a 15 minute lecture for my online courses. To be a teacher AND produce this level of lesson video is a serious time investment-so thank you! And I learned a lot.
Finally found a legit video here. The only miniatures I've ever painted were my hero quest figures when I was about 12. I build scale race car and motor bike kits and this definitely helps bring my driver/rider figures to life. Thanks, you're the best I've seen on you tube by far!
This man's work is astonishing.. When people are at this level with a skill I want to attain, well it tempts me.to just give up. The control and steadiness with the brush, he is so accurate it is as tho it is solid to the very tip. The model looked amazing at the beginning then some how he goes beyond that.... Truly ore inspiring.
Got to give you credit here.... taking standard painted models from video and turning them into gold for the next video... great concept and very useful... love ideas like this !!
Very very cool. I am progressing through alot of necron troops for my army and each one is getting better the more of your video's I watch, so thank you. I think my first patreon subscription is in my very near future ha.
Your two videos about the Blood Bowl Minis were truly inspirational!! I've learned sooo much even though I am a somewhat experienced painter (been painting since 2004, but always just Tabletop-Standard or sliiiiiightly above)! Also I like your overall educational style of your vids - it really shows that you are a teacher (i myself teach at a school too, so maybe there is a spiritual bond? :P) Thank you very, very much for your videos!!!
These type of videos are awesome! I finally got over the hump when it comes to painting and a totally getting a lot done. I am very much a novice but videos like this help me figure out where to push it more.
This is gold. EVERY mini painter needs to watch this. Contrast and colour, I'm finding, are so key. The red into the green for skin tone is genius. Thanks alot and have a great Xmas 👍 🎅
This made me so damn pumped to paint this. Got the box just need to finish up a gloomspite warband, one hopper boss and then go over the first ones I painted with all I learned.
I know it a terrible way to paint miniature but I usually paint them "battle ready" with basic edge highlights and call it a day then jump back to my old models and make them better focusing on learning on technique at a time when I feel like Im confident enough to try.. I mean.. My models do look good enough to be played but Im terrible at "realistic" highlights.. id need a step by step "how to do video".. otherwise I sometimes end up making them WORST while spending extra time on them which is very frustrating. You got yourself a new sub. You actually really good at showing/explaining
Thank you so much for all your videos. I'm just returning to miniature painting after giving it away in the early 1990s. The techniques and materials have evolved so much since then. I really appreciate your content and your overall philosophy and approach.
I've been watching your videos for awhile Chris, and I want to say that the quality and the way you teach has improved a lot over time. I thoroughly enjoy watching your vids and your painting style. Keep making these videos, I look forward to seeing more!
Amazing! A very nice breakdown of application and things to think about to make things look better. Good for us beginners and intermediates! Thank you!
I like what you did with these two videos. Having a relatively quick painting method and also a way to fancy up those paint jobs over time is really useful to me. This makes it easier for me to enjoy both the gaming and painting aspect. If you're up for it, I wonder if expanding something like this to more armies would be a useful set of videos.
This is the best video I have ever watched to up your game from intermediate to the next level. A great compilation of all the stuff, I had to picked up from tons of other videos.
A very pleasant video to watch. BattleReady part was already good and now we have guidance on how to up our skill. Great practice for when you want your character to look better and stand out from the rest of your army. Thank you!
I enjoy your easy laid back style.. Mind you, watching you paint makes me realize that the number one way to become a better painter is to have an ultra-steady hand.
Great to see your process as well as be provided with the directions (as viewers) to progress our own painting - this content is pure gold! Thanks for continuing to provide this level of content despite the janky and fickle algorithm-gods.
Goddammit Chris, how tf haven't you blown up yet? Seriously, this is gold and people rather watch a time lapse of people using contrast paint on 80 miniatures that end up looking like everyone else's at every flgs around the world. Also new logo is freaking awesome! Will this vid also eventually be on patreon with longer time and colors used?
currently editing the skin/face, leather and armor as longer videos. i want to put them all out on patreon this month. If there is anything else you want to see let me know.
This is 3 years old but really??? This isn't really useful to most people in the hobby at all as most would rather play the game so table top ready is what the majority aim for.
@@lilpain1997 it is absolutely useful, Chris is a multiple golden demon winner. His videos are specifically made for painters who want to get better. So this vid is for that specific target audience as are the rest on his channel. There are other great channels made for gamer oriented folks who just want minis that aren't grey. There are different avenues to enjoy the same hobby.
Really enjoyed these two videos. I always forget about using chipping and such to make free hand shapes blend seamlessly with the base layers. It's such a small detail that adds so much polish.
The painting technique you used on the jaw horns I have found are great to use on Nurgle growth/protrusions as well. Excellent video all around. Thanks!
Love the vid. Been painting for years but only on and off. Having really found the joy of painting recently and getting the new blood bowl the other day, your two vids are excellent reference. Mostly an historical painter so it’s nice to see the brighter colours. Can’t wait to crack on with my Orc team.
This video is purely amazing, I'm myself trying to push further and looking at the difference you make with those tiny adjustments is really MINDBLOWING ! Now I want to end my week and spend my whole weekend trying that out haha, thanks a lot Senpai !
Amazing. Just bought the 2nd season bb set and watching what you do with the orc and human miniatures is very inspiring. I especially like the deliberate imperfections, and volume highlights!
Thank you Trovarian this video gave me way more confidence in my already highlighted minis and has gave me new insporation to try more, and go further with the depth
Great video! With everything so zoomed in I forget how small the minis are. It all seems doable until I pick up my tiny guardsman and try to do such fine details! Good thing about the imperial guard is there are plenty of models in my army to practice on :D
Oh my! I'm just starting and this is very helpfull. You make it look so easy . The first thing i should try is to get this kind of brush nib and a good brush control. I think I'm too clumsy for now to achieve those kinds of details. But hey, I'm just starting, so I hope to achieve it someday!
This was a really good series. Splitting it into two videos really gave me a good sense for how to incrementally improve my painting. Seeing you layer the more advanced techniqes over more basic approaches made it much clearer for me where time and effort is better spent getting that overall better final finish. Thanks for this. I'd love to see some futire video take this same approach.
I have always loved your vids, and I love the way you can adapt to new audiences as well! Really enjoying the new format and direction, a great help to myself and other hobbyists. Maybe this can be a new series, focusing on standard factions in some of the box games like Necromunda and Mordheim as you are fantastic at conversions, bases and atmosphere to. Keep up the fantastic work Chris, can't wait for the next vid.
Yet again, awesome vid! You say none of it's blended, but it always does on video :D:D:D. Also I still don't understand you only have 60k subscribers... God I hate the youtube algorithm.
thanks! same to you! the basement is fixed by now, new paint and everything. just need the doorframes replaced and then i will replace some of the youtube set and we'll be back...
The great thing about this hobby is a person can always learn new tricks - this video was awesome, but a definite “new trick” for me is your suggestion of the irregular lines on the horns. Very cool. PS I did find myself wondering why the orc only had one red elbow 😬
Thanks for the video, Sir! Loved all of these helpful tips! Is there going to be a “2nd Edition” follow-up along this theme? Nah, never mind. No one would watch it anyway....hahaha! You couple talent and humor masterfully!
Hi Chris, thanks for the great video! I have this box and I'm going to follow along both of these videos, and I might even jump on your patreon for the rest. I have one piece of unsolicited feedback, but please take it as you will - I'll keep watching regardless :) I might be alone in this but I personally find it frustrating when content creators complain that certain kinds of videos don't get views. I think it's probably alienating for your casual viewers, who might be thinking "you're right I wouldn't watch that, maybe this channel isn't for me." And for your regulars, we might be thinking "I would watch that, why aren't you just making that video." Obviously you need to make accessible videos in order to make a profit off of them, and that might prevent you from making exactly what you want to make, and I empathise with that - but I'm just not sure if the video script is the right place to express that sentiment. Anyway, I know it was just one sentence in this 15min video and, as I said, I enjoy your videos and appreciate the work you put in but, for me, they would be even better without that one sentence.
Goddammit UA-cam, stop recommending me stuff like this! I've just learned how to go TO tabletop standard, ie. finally being able to say "eh, good enough" instead of painting every figure for 12 hours!
EonsOfBattle did a similar video, "Why You're Not Improving", a couple of days ago, it has a decent explanation of how to get better at doing volumetric highlights.
First of all thank you, I've replicate this simple metod on one of my back orks and he looks stunning, I've litterally wasted 10 hous on each ork and they looks wost than the one I've painted in 2 hours following your tips! Any chance you will do a similar video for skeletons or zombies? Cursed city is going to be release and we will have tons of undead to paint!
Amazing videos! To see the type of brush control and pressure you use has taught me so much about what I need to improve. What brushes are you using in this video?
What is that bust in the background at 5:43? It looks amaaazing! Perfect video series btw., i buyed the boxed set with my gf and am teaching her to paint her puny little humies :)
Hi Trovarion, your vid's are awesome Mate.. I Love to watch them! Do you use the standard Camera lens for your videos or a special one? Greezes from lower Bavaria :)!
i use the standard kit lense that comes with a GH4 I believe - Panasonic 12-60mm /3,5-5,6 Lumix G Vario, bought it second hand. you dont need fancy lenses.
@@trovarion thank you very much for your quick answer. I hope your trouble with the basement is fixed quicklie! Best regards and again.. great video's!
the first time i saw horns painted like you did here was on an old warhammer forum "BlackOrc" which turned into "DiceTroll". It was a place I loved to go to after school, and chat up painting and tactics with online friends... super sad it shut down, but forums are a dead format these days.
Thank you for yet another amazing video, sorry about the damp sucks bro. You mention dry brushing as a simple method which it is, how would you suggest learning how to get a steadier hand, I have tried edge highlighting etc but it just seems to be to thick or too uneven, sorry to be such a noob looking at how easy you make it seem I do feel a little embarrassed
you should use a painting handle (pill bottle, cork, etc.) and rest your palms against each other, or against the handle with your elbows planted firmly on the table. also get magnifying glasses and a brush with a good tip. i have recommendations for both in the description.
4:54 that sucks man really it does. That's the kind of thing that would really send me into a spin. btw many of the techniques you've shown here, I've kinda accidently discovered here and there as I will slowly and inevitably move away from the edge hlighlighting 'Eavy Metal style (nothing wrong with this style - its very cartoony though).
@@trovarion hi, thank you for your answer, you are alive =) best wishes for a dry room ! well, im from germany, my english is not so good what should i not think? i thougt that you painted that noise marine in one of your videos? had looked that six steps beyoind video, great ! yes, better time for some glorious Orks than wash it all away =) i have some Tzaangors here, try to get that like you teached in green now in blue =) AND then i try my noise marines =)) do not know if those can play in one army? but i like it like it, YES i do AND your videos too =) ) thank s a lot!
@@trovarion hi Trovarion, seen so many paintings, yes even how to paint a noisie box art... OH lord, no words to explain how i apreceate your work! smooth calm and collected (? my english to poor to describe) would you paint a noise marine for me ? had not to be box like, when anyone knows like a noise should be, you are the one =)
Dude your ability to keep the brush at a perfect point with the perfect amount of paint every time is amazing
thanks! It's all just practice!
Always refreshing to see somebody show that it doesn't have to always be base, wash, edge highlighting.

Hi Trovarion,
your vid's are awesome Mate..
I Love to watch them!
Do you use the standard Camera lens for your videos or a special one? Greezes from lower Bavaria :)!
i use the standard kit lense that comes with a GH4 I believe - Panasonic 12-60mm /3,5-5,6 Lumix G Vario, bought it second hand. you dont need fancy lenses.
@@trovarion thank you very much for your quick answer. I hope your trouble with the basement is fixed quicklie! Best regards and again.. great video's!
the first time i saw horns painted like you did here was on an old warhammer forum "BlackOrc" which turned into "DiceTroll". It was a place I loved to go to after school, and chat up painting and tactics with online friends... super sad it shut down, but forums are a dead format these days.
Thank you for yet another amazing video, sorry about the damp sucks bro. You mention dry brushing as a simple method which it is, how would you suggest learning how to get a steadier hand, I have tried edge highlighting etc but it just seems to be to thick or too uneven, sorry to be such a noob looking at how easy you make it seem I do feel a little embarrassed
you should use a painting handle (pill bottle, cork, etc.) and rest your palms against each other, or against the handle with your elbows planted firmly on the table. also get magnifying glasses and a brush with a good tip. i have recommendations for both in the description.
@@trovarion cheers my man thank you for the tips
You inspired me to paint several figures from my pail of shame, lol
f**** yeah!
4:54 that sucks man really it does. That's the kind of thing that would really send me into a spin. btw many of the techniques you've shown here, I've kinda accidently discovered here and there as I will slowly and inevitably move away from the edge hlighlighting 'Eavy Metal style (nothing wrong with this style - its very cartoony though).
Hmmm the bloody elbow is not something i would thought of, going to have to try that.
hi good calm smooth voice =)
thank you for that tipps, where to see the noise marine painted? =))
