This was a painting technique i used to use for wash painting years ago. I tried it with contrast recently and was blown away with the results. A much more subtle effect can be achieved by basing with a light base color. Shading with agrax or a similar contrast. Then dry brush up through cream to white. This will give you a much lighter tone and it's great for painting brighter colors and less "grungy looking" armies. Enjoy your first game of Kill Team. "Waaaaaaarrrrrgggg!! Let's stomp sum oomies!"
Cheers for the info bud, I like to try out painting techniques, I cant wait for my first game but it might be messy as the guy I am playing against ahs never played either, what ever happens we will have fun =)
Been wondering this as well. One should/could use a dark base color instead of black, and than go up through warm or cold grey tones, ending with white.
Honestly the Slop Chop method really appeals to me. Been doing a lot of very intricate painting recently, and now I want to just have fun slinging contrast paints around. Great video!
Ive always hated painting but man has this method really made me fall in love with it again, got the army painter speed paint mega pack and ive been slap choppin to the moon! thanks for the vids!!!
As a quick and easy solution for the metallic stuff, instead of prepping the metal parts with the grey drybrush, try going straight for a metallic paint drybrush over the black primer, i''ve found it works wonders!
Ive been doing my Evil Sunz orks for a while similar to this. I undercoat on a dark brown instead of black, and dry brush desert yellow up to a bone white. The brown tones interact really well with Blood Angels Red and Plaguebearer Flesh IMO
Got the KT box set recently, so started painting up my teams. Followed the slap chop method and really liking the results so far. I'm falling into the trap of tinkering with them to get them parade standard, rather than just tabletop ready though!
Love slap chopping! For metals I will usually use basilican grey or rattling grime (if I want it to look dark and dirty) and then stipple on something like leadbeltcher
These look absolutely fantastic mate! I recently got a massive lot of Skaven that I want to paint up and have primed them in grey to start using contrasts but this just seems like such a better method to get em done quick and dirty! (Perfect for a horde of lunatic rats). Must give it a try on another portion and decide am I okay with going back over the grey prime with black to do em all like this!
friend, If you're using Contrast let me tell you, don't use Grey primers, use the Whitest white you can find. If you do Zenithal, or this method in the video with the Brush, it will look even better. The colors will POP (specially the greens from the warp yes, yes)
If you looking for a contrast silver, you might wanna try Vallejo Airbrush metal colours. It almost works like a contrast paint if you get some water out of the brush
Oh man, just today I was finally able to afford a box of Ork Kommandos and then I found this video 🤪🤪🥳🥳 Absolutely amazing paint job😍😍, now I can't wait to get them built and buy some Speed Paints as soon as I save some more hobby money to try this 😋
A friend of mine totally surprised me by getting some Speed Paints for me as a Christmas present and today, finally, I have been able to test this on the two Kommando Boyz. I can't express with words how awesome it was to be able to achieve such a high level result with just some dry brush and a single layer of paint. I'm ecstatic, truly amazed of how much easier than "normal" painting it was. Now I can't wait to get back to the painting table tomorrow to keep painting my Ork Kommandos 😆😆😆 Thank you very much for this awesome series of videos, it's been a real inspiration for me 😊😊😊 Cheers 😋
@@Saefogeo ahh thats awesome, you sound just like me every time I paint something this way, it really is so quick and simple yet the results are awesome, happy painting =)
If you're going to make a judge themed orc kill team I feel like one one of them didn't get the memo and would wear a powder wig and would have a gavel.
If you use this method again for orks basecoat the skin areas of the model in purple before you drybrush over the model, that way the skin gets a more interesting look with warmer shadows
Been using this method for years and years using inks, washes and paints thinned down with water and a deipnof washing up liquid. Good to see more people are using it now contrasts/speed paints are out. it's a great technique to have in the tool box, perfect bashing out loads of minis.
Love your content, your videos alone had me try slap chop & contrast paint to give it a shot, and I really like it. I used to feel exhausted painting before, especially when I had many models to paint. This way I really enjoy more, and love the look they come out with. So far I've painted all my new orcs with slapchop, I might still paint some the classic way, but right now I'm slap chopping
Amazing to see how the quality of your videos improved in just a year. So good. I like to use red ink for blood splatters: I dip a hard hair brush in the ink ( like a flat dry brush) and flick the ink on the weapon surface, it gives the blood a natural spray/splatter style :)
Love your content! Like you I am a super motivated for Kill team … nice to have a small amount of work to do to be ready for a game…. Rather than slogging through a whole army
For silver when speed painting I like to paint them with black or grey SpeedPaint and dry brush on some silver afterwards OR do what you've done and wash the metallics after.
Looks amazing mate. Loving the painting techniques and will definitely try that. Also I have never heard of the clear bases. They look surprisingly good. Will look into those
Exclusively do slap chop these days. You can get some really nice grim dark effects and if I want it more colourful and vibrant I just dry brush with white instead of gray. Works like a charm - won't win me any awards but I'm table top ready every game!
I was there for the live stream of the painting, but had to duck out early. Love how they turned out! The cool thing they've done is they released the teams from the box sets as individual boxes so I think if you plan on collecting more then that would be the best route because you can look up the stat sheets
Those minis look great! I've been playing around with slap chop for a while but for some reason never added washes after the fact. I'm definitely going to try that! What I've been doing for my Orruk army is, instead of starting with black-grey-white undercoat, I start with a brown-tan-offwhite undercoat. It gives my models a grimy undertone that I highly recommend for a dirty look.
Looking great. I painted the Orks for my FLGS to have a teaching army. My Krieg are still gray plastic, and I have other models that are taking priority on my desk at the moment, but I look forward to seeing what you do with your guardsmen
Try airbrushing on some spot hightlights from above with white after you dry brush. Itll add volumetric shading and reduce some of the dusty look from the dry brush.
Funny that you call this the slap chop method because I've seen other painters refer to this method as "underpainting". I paint things this way as well except I start from white and paint in the shadows and it looks very vibrant at the end. Really lovely stuff, great job
It's also known as "grisaille" (pronounced "gris-sai") and it's been around for hundreds of years because it allowed artists to save money on paint when they made stuff like cobalt blue or titanium white from literal cobalt and titanium. You'd do an under painting with oil crayons or using cheap pigments (like dirt or charcoal), then glaze on saturated colors.
@@nekrataali it's in the same neighborhood as grisaille, but this method is considerably less precise, and lacks some of the in-built information (different material textures, sharp edges, and the like...) that you would expect from a proper grisaille. The end result doesn't look bad, by any means, but it's basically a volumetric sketch. It's been a useful tool in Marco Frisoni's back pocket for a while, now, and it gets solid results. Oh, and whoever tried to name this like it's something special has absolutely earned my undying enmity.
My first lesson in the counter-intuitive nature of GW sprues was with a set of Primaris Aggressors, I had all the parts cut out before realizing that yeah...oops. Took alot of extra time to figure out which hoses fit to which frickin gauntlets!
Some contrast colors are way too opaque for that though, you really need to thin them down. Especially the browns (Cygor Brown, Wyldwood etc.). For silver you can use Gryph-Charger Grey and gold Nazdreg Yellow!
Do you ever have issues seeing the edge of your bases and would coloring just the edge be better for a "pop" effect look to better see edge of a clear base? I really want clear bases now.
It has been said the every kids favorite color is orange, at one point. Never grow up dude! If you do zenithal and then do the light drybrush, it ends up much lighter. This way, you can do an oil wash for a more extreme contrast look. However, yours look great regardless. On a side-note, have you considered using Sprue Goo for making Tyranid nests? It might look cool.

Isn’t is just a zenithal highlight/white over brush with contrast paint/speed paint over top?
@@03dashk64 Yes, now isn't "slap chop method" a lot easier to say than all that?
Loved it. Would like you to mention each colour as you put it on. Fab looking models 👍😁😎

Check if that clear bases are 32, wich are the orks ones, ust the squig and the grot go onto 25mm ones :D
Yeah base size is important for kill team
Just ordered some 32mm clear bases =)
@@MiniatureHobbyist puta them on the Freezer to cristalizar the cyanocrilate to snap them easier

Thank you so much =)
I like this paint style and will be giving it a go. I like the building part more than painting.
It's been a while since I've seen a video. Your painting has improved unbelievably. Awesome job mate 👍🏻
Thank you so much, yup practise makes perfect =)
It's crazy watching the older videos and seeing how much better his painting has gotten. 😁
Love the paint pot holder - those GW lids......grrrrrr!
Cheers really great!
been playing some grimdark future, its easier to understand the rule set for me, and I get to use my older models. :)
I may take a look at that, is it played in a small area, I love the kill zone size for kill teams =)
I was there for the live stream of the painting, but had to duck out early. Love how they turned out!
The cool thing they've done is they released the teams from the box sets as individual boxes so I think if you plan on collecting more then that would be the best route because you can look up the stat sheets
Yup I will be buying quite a few individual box sets lol =)
@@MiniatureHobbyist They all have to learn why orks are the best, it's order of all things.
I've done metallics by drybrushing on top of a suitable speed paint base.
Going to try this on my Ork kill team, really makes these amazing models pop out with all their detail.
Yeah great effect which is quick and simple =)
Those minis look great! I've been playing around with slap chop for a while but for some reason never added washes after the fact. I'm definitely going to try that!

The numbers being Radom is down to economy of space on the sprews. It's just to get maximum product from minimum resin used.
Looks great
Thank you so much =)
What contrast paint color did you use on the flesh? Your paint holder blocked out the name.
They look great.
its plaguebearer flesh =)
I think I suggested this when you did your speed paint review a couple months ago. Glad to see you get such great results!
Ahh I might have missed that as only saw someone do this a few days ago but Im very pleased with the result =)
Looking great. I painted the Orks for my FLGS to have a teaching army. My Krieg are still gray plastic, and I have other models that are taking priority on my desk at the moment, but I look forward to seeing what you do with your guardsmen
Thank you, Im not fussed on the look of the krieg but need to get them painted so I can use them in my first game next weekend lol =)
Loving following along with this journey.
Personally love Killteam. Look forward to all the upcoming content and hope its successful content!!
Cheers, Im looking forward to my first game next weekend =)
Looking awesome. Nice and gritty.
Cheers Im really pleased with them =)
Ese momento en que uno descubre tu ritmo y receta de pintura es genial. Y el resultado se deja ver. Good work on the minis!
Thank you so much =)
Orks all the way
Try airbrushing on some spot hightlights from above with white after you dry brush. Itll add volumetric shading and reduce some of the dusty look from the dry brush.
I dont have an air brush, I kinda like the dusty gritty look =)
@@MiniatureHobbyist airbrushing is life
What paint did you use for the skin? I can't quite make out the name on the pot. Also I LOVE the home made pot holder it's ingenious

Amazing! Please could you list the contrast colours that you used / what you used them for. Thank you!!!
The kommandos are a very good Kill Team, super fun to play
These looks great. Well done.
They look good, I've never thought of using clear bases.
Wow these are dope! Now I have to get some speed paints and try this method! Awesome work for sure looking forward to seeing more.
Tyranids are fun for Killteam, yeet a bunch of bug boys at your opponent and have three chuncky warriors in the back scoring and picking off models
Those look incredible, well done.
I don't know if you'll see this but papsikels 3d prints do a judge dread series. Upholders I think their called.
Currently painting these guys at the moment, love these Octarius miniatures
Great job. saw you use this painting technique on the StarWars dio, but didn't realize how well it works on figures too
Yeah its a great and simple technique =)
They look awsome , i will try this method for sure !

I play Grimdark Future and Age of Fantasy from one page rules.. 3d printers give your great bits to kit bash..
Can we have a list of the contrasts that you used? ✌️
WOW
Good one!
i've seen marco frisoni grisaille work before, but this method is way less intimidating.
Think imma try it...
What silver did you use? Great video, I would like to see a video on slap chop painting different metallics.
Why iz yoo paintin da boyz yella?
Orkz iz green!
Do you ever have issues seeing the edge of your bases and would coloring just the edge be better for a "pop" effect look to better see edge of a clear base? I really want clear bases now.
Love this! What contrast paints did you use for this?
really good!
awesome paintjob! i got the moroch box recently, and man is a sweet kit, id recommend you pick it up if you fancy the teams included
I will take a look, the urge to have a splurge and buy loads is overwhelming lol =)
@@MiniatureHobbyist it really is
I didn't think that this KT box set was still available...? Would I be able to track it down via my nearest GW store..?
Just prime it already ! :-)
Orkz iz da besst
Did you water down your contrast paints? I read it in the jumpmarks but in the footage it looks as if you take the paint directly out of the jar.
It has been said the every kids favorite color is orange, at one point. Never grow up dude!

Very Orky!
Do you have a list of all the colors used in this? lol
Which paint did you use for the denim jacket on the Nob Leader? I may have missed it haha.
Finding the numbers for the Octarius models was particularly frustrating -_-
Hey! What paint did you use for the skin? Great painting job btw!
What's that thing on the glue it look more easy than GW glue
Looks like the Revell plastic glue bottle, considering the colors
its a long tube you put on glue to get a nice thin stream, I got if off amazon =) amzn.to/3QribwK
Game footage please!
Are you Paul Merton? 😂
Which paint colors did he use?
Hi, do you drill the feet for the wires?
I asked too soon. XD
Would you be able to use these guys in the regular 40k games? I'm kinda new and currently building up my army.
I guess so as I know you can use regular 40k figures in kill team lol =)
Yes, you can. They are an elite unit.
great video.. whats the color of the skin?
