Didnt catch it in any older episodes but have you ever discussed sculpting mini parts, most of your sculpted commission pieces are top tier and I'd love to hear a conversation with or at least about whoever does your sculpting.
I clean up mold lines with the back side of my hobby knife. I've found that, especially with a brand new blade, the edge of the back of the blade is the perfect amount of sharp to remove mold lines without having to worry too much about gouging chunks out of the mini. Also, for mold lines in hard to reach places or on oddly shaped things (like pipes and such), I use a small amount of Tamiya Extra Thin on the mold line and it just melts the mold line a little bit (as I'm typing this, I'm hearing them talking about doing this lol).
Blood Angels paint really nice when starting with painting the whole thing in Baal Red Contrast Paint then paint your red(s) of choice over top. Works great for me!
One piece of advice someone once gave me for getting a good color combination is to look at flags for various countries around the world. The logic is that no country would use a set of colors that clash on their flag. Turns out my space marines might be from Bermuda. You can also use animals. My Tyranids use the colors of various crab species (king, blue, and vampire crabs).
Listening to the backlog, it's interesting hearing you talk about no skaven in old world and your thoughts on it then we get the aos release which shows GW plans now
Hello from the states! I love your content, and watch everything you guys put out. Also I'm a part of the pierced nose cult. I'm wondering which Aeldari models you guys are painting for Biel-Tanuary?
Guys, if you're not familiar with Extra Thin Cement, you're missing out on some tricks! Check put Richard Grays Trugg review video, about 5 minutes in to see him gap fill with sprue glue and then smooth it out flawlessly with some clean super thin. Game changer! Also, lol at it being a "weak" glue, it's a plastic cement, if used properly it literally fuses the two pieces of plastic together. Doesn't get much of a stronger bond than that! Though you can have it act more like a normal glue too. Anyway, great episode!
GW's Spray Paint listing in their shop "Spray paints are designed to prepare your Warhammer miniatures to be painted. They're applied before anything else, covering them in a single even coat. "
That's what we're talking about - they're clearly intended to be applied on the models as a primer but are never once actually referred to as a primer on the listing or label - which is something we didn't properly consider last week! What page is that quote from out of interest? As I can't see it on the product listings. The only place I can see that quote is on a third party retailer, not Warhammer.com
I suffer from the "Must buy every paint from a range" syndrome so I can "step my paint game up". After buying all of the Pro Acryl last week (except the washes, fluros and metallics) I told myself that's it. I own every Citadel Base, Layer, Contrasts, and Shades, the important Vallejo Metal colors and a few other go to paints (i.e. Black 70950, Buff, Deck Tan etc) and now all the Pro Acryls so i told myself to stop making excuses! Within 5 minutes that nagging voice starting in with "but you need all the 3rd gen AK's too!" :sigh:
so i know this goes a little against the like don't get wrapped up with specifics or tools that others use but I am curious what a painting journal looks like as far as a product? is it just a standard notebook or is there a better direction for one?
I think paints is the biggest trap for newcomers. You can buy a starter set for something like kill team and get a really good deal for like £50 and the first thing I did as a new guy to the hobby was watch a few painting tutorials on UA-cam and the amount of paints listed in these videos was quite overwhelming talking like 40 paints which is way more money than the models
It'll work for sure, it's just that it's not designed to maintain such fine details as you find on miniatures. It's obiously designed to cover bit flat surface areas.

You guys are just a bunch of goofy nerds.
And I love you for it.
Carry on.
Damn straight! Enjoy the episode!

Thank you! We all reveal our chosen Biel-tanuary models at the models at the start of this episode!

Definitely expecting Kislev for old world at some point; we've already seen teases as early as 2020. Bring on new factions.
4:31 2 thin coats go's for primers as well.

Don't use blunt blades! What you think is blunt actually has a burr ( goole cabinet scrapers). Use a sharp blade but get the angle of attack right!
Lads - make sure you don’t exclude AoS from your calendar
I tried to come up with some ideas but failed miserably. Over to you and the community

I think it would be cool if you all were painting while you did the podcast , so we can see your processes. Who agrees with me ?
james hasnt used extra thin? what is this heresy?
Haha big up non-metallic necrons! i've fallen into this trap of glazing panels for YEARS
I thought car spray can works fine~~~
It'll work for sure, it's just that it's not designed to maintain such fine details as you find on miniatures. It's obiously designed to cover bit flat surface areas.
Tip #1: Don't pick Thousand Sons
😂 So true
