In the video you said on the nmm gold you started with xv-88 then Baylor brown. I would have thought you would start dark and work light. Maybe you just misspoke. I'm genuinely curious because I'm trying to get a handle on nmm.
One day I hope that I may be able to get you to paint one of my warhammer figures, it would absolutely be an honor! I’m new to the hobby and love it already but lack the tools to properly paint my figures at the current moment. Having a mini painted by you would be amazing, not only to use as a playable piece but a conversation piece, your work is amazing and I appreciate the time you put into making these videos because I enjoy them very much and find them very helpful! @maverickspaint
Man I've been watching you stuff since day 1 you came out of nowhere with the best gory paint jobs. I see your stuff pop up all over the place. Epically the space marine with the convertible treatment 😂 my name on here used to be Clay P. I'm digging the longer format. I know this is 9 months old but I really hope you got threw covid alright. I had it 3 times last year. Every time with different symptoms.
Now you just need to copy this painting guide on the another 2000pts of minis, and you'll be set to play the game 😆😆😆 That's a great mini; thanks for sharing it with us. 👍
@@MaverickNicolson I'm waiting to be able to afford it but same I knew about the books and lore you got me into minis and I just wanna paint like you idc about tabel top stats I've never done it once. I can't wait to start and upload a video of my first I'ma use your tips
@@MaverickNicolson as I subscribed and watched starter box video i am REALLY considering doing exactly the same as Pisal. Only thing blocking me is that I already bought 1:18 figure and I have to wait for next month to not spend too much money lol!
Killer production value, great editing, awesome painting, and a fantastic concept you have discovered with Plastic Surgery. I would watch this series for decades. Every mini tells a story! Thanks for sharing this Maverick, I am a huge fan! 🔥🔥🔥
I really thank you for all the efforts you put into painting, editing and advicing us with a lot of precious tricks, this new long format is the best ever created. Please keep up the superb work!! 🙏
Your humility is what makes you great, you were able to recognize your short comings and continue to press forward, this what allows us to improve. Continue to Slay the day🔥
French guy here 👋 Just wanted to say that your videos are the reason I started painting my old miniatures again, so, thank you ! You’re such a source of inspiration that I showed your shorts to all my friends, and now they want to join my painting sessions too 😆 I hope you’ll continue to make quality content like that !
Man... hands down, you are one of my favourite content creators when it comes to minis. I've found your painting style very appealing, and I'm glad you are lean towards creating longer tutorial-like videos. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge and work with us! Keep it grim!
Dude! You’re amazing! You have many fans and some of your work is inspiration for a diorama I’m planning and hoping to enter at Adepticon next year (hope, but we’ll see).
@@MaverickNicolson Yeah I find when I am going from black to yellow, white, red, pink etc that I look for something that will aid in the shading process. Take out a layer to get to the highlight by adding one back in the shading process. A shortcut. For example, I want yellow so I start with browns, I want pink so I start with creams. I want white I start with a cream/grey. this also then becomes my glaze later on when I highlight to bring the shades back and smooth out the transition. This waffling aside I really like what you do here. Cant wait to see more.
Bro get used to it. If you are going to put out fantastic content then people are going to be excited to meet you. I have met some amazing musicians and famous people and it is whatever but when I met you I totally fan girled and called my wife to tell her. She was even excited for me haha.
Hey Dude! Not quite a Plastic Surgery but... I just got back into the Hobby side of Warhammer. I've been on the lore end for a year now but between You, Midwinter, and Ebay Rescue... I bought stuff! All the stuff... back when I played I loved the Kroxigors! I had an army of 9! I just got two off ebay. I'm going to practice then Paint these guys! But! If I send you one, can you paint him up? Either way, thanks dude!
hmmm id rather repaint something that YOU painted. Its really the sentimental models that I like to save. For this instance, the guy was just having a super bad day and I wanted to cheer him up
@@MaverickNicolson Boo-erns! Your style on a Kroxigor would be killer! I totally get what you're saying though, figured as much too. These guys are sentimental but in a flashback to adolescence kind of way. If I find the box of my original army in Mom's basement... I'll hit you up again Homie! Thanks Maverick! You're awesome man
Hey I’m looking to finally get a nice set of brushes because I’ve been using some old ones I found at an arts and crafts store a while ago, so you have any recommendations?
Thank you for the longer and more in depth videos. I've been implementing a lot of your style into my new Adepta Sororitas army lately because it just looks so good.
found your channel via shorts and MWM videos. Have you tried Using brake fluid to remove paint? back in the day I used to know a guy who would strip paint from models using brake fluid
I'm currently waiting for my first ever minis and paints to be delivered today (UPS takes SO LONG ;-; ). I've never been artsy in any form, but I think mini painting could be up my alley and it's 100% because of this channel.
dude, its such a good hobby. Youre gonna struggle at first but honestly, just remember that the best part of the hobby is that every single model is going to look better than the last. That constant progress is pure dopamine.
If you want better cleaner for miniatures I will recommend you Bio-strip, it doesn't damage minis and working really quick, but I don't know if you have it in Kanada.
Hey Maverick I really like your videos and the techniques shown make me get better and better as a beginner in the hobby. I am really excited that you are a "proper youtuber" now and hope that you will provide us with more amazing videos like this one. Never stop dude you are an inspiration.
Question, I usually soak my models in ISO Alcohol for about 20 mins and that seems to do the trick. But never thought about the potential for it to damage the model. Do you think this can also damage the model.
Im not really sure to be honest as ive never tried. I wouldnt be comfortable giving you an answer but, if you are concerned about damage, just try not to let your models soak in anything for too long
Damn that turned out beautiful! Would you be willing to share the recipe for the bone colour armour you used for the deathwing terminator Plastic Surgery?
Holy hell that's good! With the shorts the models look really good but actually getting to see it come together is amazing. It's actually quite theraputic, I love watching the colours slowly come together on a blank base coat, like the model is coming alive. The music is killer too, really nice match for the vibe of the channel
Mavericks Paint, along with eBay Miniature Rescue, are the real 4th Emergency Service. The pixel-grafix on this channel are wonderful. For me, Black Templars, Sisters of Battle and the Inquisition are the twisted soul of the Grim Dark; and John Blanche is one of our greatest tour guides. The rule book for the Inquisition game is peak 40k ("Everything you have been told is a lie!" sums up my vision of the 40k setting). The point on the brush in this video is amazing. Great control. All the best with getting over the dreaded COVID.
Mav what black are you using for your haz stripes? I just started doing mine with a lil 50/50 mix of black templar and abaddon and it feels like the right thing. I know you would have the best suggestions \m/
I honestly just used vallejo black. its such a small area that I wasnt worried about shading or anything like that. Just thinned black and took my time with it. Hope this helps!
Kudos for the color scheme!!! Had me at the second minute ❤❤😂😂 thanks for the video! Btw, great idea showcasing the artworks before starting. It really set the mood and background for the inspiration!
I’ve been struggling with a way to paint my Templars and looked at a bunch of videos on how to paint black armor and such and I even tried my own way haha. But I absolutely love the way you paint the black armor and highlight it. The way you paint is so interesting and satisfying to look at. Been on your channel for a while now and I’m loving the growth you’re experiencing! The way you paint is let’s. Big inspo for me.
aw man thanks so much. I just kind of hate committing to large strokes of color so I just dab and scratch my way around the model and slowly build it up. Its because im hesitant lol
Loving your content man! It's really tempting me to get into Warhammer. Keep up the good work, your content is well made and can only improve from here!
The only thing I could say would improve this content is to place the list of paints used in the description and where they were used if that's not too much extra work on your end (for people looking for a quick reference after watching the video).
So I did a thing with your gold recipe, and used a glaze of Vallejo Game Color “Sun Yellow”. It made the gold a little more cartoony, and really yellow, but I LOVED that!
Great video ! Thanks for the inspiration. Sorry that you got covid here in the Uk, but I hope it was worth it. I totally relate to the weird aches and pains, and the sore jaw.
I just started painting some WorldEaters and Thousand sons. I struggled a lot but when I watched this video it really did help. I know this vid is about a Black Templar and not you know WorldEaters or Thousand Sons. But this video really did help a lot, I watched over the video a bunch of times just to see how I should or can improve on my Models. I started about a few weeks ago, I really have noticed a difference. I absolutely LOVE to paint these figures and just watching these videos makes me want to paint them Even More I swear! Great job with the paints, I know I definitely couldn’t paint something as good as you do for quite awhile.
yo mav honesty question do you have a background in video production, editing etc. I know you used to be a fireman but these videos are so insanely edited so just wondered
FYI. simple green works 20000% faster and ebtter when it's heated up. I went to a garage sale and bought a bad pot, using it for my stripping. 1. Heat up the simple green on stove. 2. pour into glass jar. 3. when it's bar-of-hand warm..drop mini in.. Leave it for 24 hours.
Could you save my ASTORATH the Grim model, I love it very much but I truly am afraid to paint my favorite model and mess it up, lol. Base coated and got it together and hated what I had done but was scared to break the model while stripping. Be my angel of mercy......lol
Hey Maverick, your work is outright amazing. Super easy to follow, very insightful and informative. However, I would like to know how do you approach to varnishing your miniatures? Are there any brands you recommend?
Have you ever tried Biostrip 20 for stripping models? I used for my old stuff, and the paint just...falls off. You can leave stuff in there for days as well, it's non toxic and reusable - absolutely swear by it for stripping models.
You're becoming one of my fav mini painting channels duder. Great job on that Templar. Also glad to see you kicked covids butt. I lost my sense of smell for 3 weeks after i got it, had weird random aches and pains for weeks aftertoo, this was back in 2021.
Your insta is pretty awesome. I just got back into it after being out since I joined the army in 03, but I’ve been following you even before my son got me back into WH40K. Thanks for your videos.
Something I learned was that NMM makes more sense you want to dictate where the highlight and reflection is. TMM is great and obviously lifelike but will reflect WHEREVER the light is which could clash with the highlights you are trying to establish.
This was beautiful! You're definitely an inspiration and one of my favorite creators on UA-cam! I'd love to see what you can do with my old metal Ahriman! I've had it since 4th edition, but I've never finished painting it because life happened. 😅 I was thinking about it when this video came out because I had just bought the newer Ahriman mini.
This videos are so relaxing, Ngl man these Plastic surgery are one of the reasons I got into WH40K, hell I just started reading the Horus Heresy and planning of buying my first set of Salamanders, props from Venezuela
I love your channel and your very unique approach. Also really cool you're doing long form content. Really enjoy both these and the shorts. Keep up the amazing work!
Dear Sir, your technique is amazing and you have helped me a lot on this new journey of Warhammer (began 2 months ago) Thank you so much! When I'm older i wanna paint like you ❤
I love your painting method of going piece by piece and being as careful as possible, it’s almost meditative. It shows a serious amount of respect for your work and I’m sure the when Matt gets this model back he’s going to be blown away.
You're actually the whole reason I've been wanting to get better at painting. Your painting just always looks so great. I've been watching your videos and am currently working on a captain messinius model im painting as an imperial fist. I'm hoping to use your streaking grime tutorial to add some depth. It's not coming out great, but im gonna stay at it! Might have to pick up a few more captain messinius models 😂😂😂
Long shot that you’ll even see this but I’m painting some black legion for my first 2k point army, and will copying your black armor help me? People often use blue when painting up black armor but I notice you didn’t do that here and I like the result! But people often say black armor is majority blue
Hey! Have you painted any blood angels space marines? I saw that terminator you did in the previous video and it was sick and was wondering if you have done any other blood angels. I'm a huge blood angels guy and am just getting into the hobby (your grimdark warhammer pieces being one of my main inspirations lol), my first combat patrol is arriving in a week or so and I'd really wanna see what you'd do with a blood angel for inspiration! Definitely going to be watching that space marine guide right before doing it either way though. Thank you for your time!
Great series. What are some good stripping solutions for Forgeworld resin? I picked up the classic World Eaters dread from ebay a while back that I'm 90 percent sure is legit but it needs some work for paint removal.
I keep forgetting to pin comments. Better late than never lol.

@@MaverickNicolson I’m still in the planning stages. It’s going to be a Horus Heresy era diorama…and there will be blood!
This was really good, I find when painting red I start with a purple base which will cover over black very well, it also helps with the shadows.
gal vorbak is kind of a burgundy and I feel the same. Purple is probably way better coverage
@@MaverickNicolson Yeah I find when I am going from black to yellow, white, red, pink etc that I look for something that will aid in the shading process.

I went to a garage sale and bought a bad pot, using it for my stripping.
1. Heat up the simple green on stove.
2. pour into glass jar.
3. when it's bar-of-hand warm..drop mini in..
Leave it for 24 hours.
A full nmm space marine sounds so cool!
I'll be looking forward to it!
Could you save my ASTORATH the Grim model, I love it very much but I truly am afraid to paint my favorite model and mess it up, lol. Base coated and got it together and hated what I had done but was scared to break the model while stripping. Be my angel of mercy......lol
Hey Maverick, your work is outright amazing. Super easy to follow, very insightful and informative. However, I would like to know how do you approach to varnishing your miniatures? Are there any brands you recommend?
Thank you so much for sharing my friend! It means a lot to me 🤗🤗
of course! my pleasure man
Looking these videos with a cup of tea and some crackers, what a great thing to do.
Loving your work, seeing you paint is really relaxing!
Kratom will help the aches and pain of chronic pain,and even covid. I went through a ton of it during my covid sickness.
Oh man, I am so hyped for longer videos! Your shorts have always been great!
I can't wait to see more content from you, good shit my friend
thanks dude! appreciate it
Thanks to all your videos, I worked up to buy some figures and start painting. (Black Templar if you're wondering.)
Have you ever tried Biostrip 20 for stripping models? I used for my old stuff, and the paint just...falls off. You can leave stuff in there for days as well, it's non toxic and reusable - absolutely swear by it for stripping models.
You're becoming one of my fav mini painting channels duder. Great job on that Templar. Also glad to see you kicked covids butt. I lost my sense of smell for 3 weeks after i got it, had weird random aches and pains for weeks aftertoo, this was back in 2021.
Your insta is pretty awesome. I just got back into it after being out since I joined the army in 03, but I’ve been following you even before my son got me back into WH40K. Thanks for your videos.
Something I learned was that NMM makes more sense you want to dictate where the highlight and reflection is. TMM is great and obviously lifelike but will reflect WHEREVER the light is which could clash with the highlights you are trying to establish.
This was beautiful! You're definitely an inspiration and one of my favorite creators on UA-cam!
I'd love to see what you can do with my old metal Ahriman! I've had it since 4th edition, but I've never finished painting it because life happened. 😅
I was thinking about it when this video came out because I had just bought the newer Ahriman mini.
This videos are so relaxing, Ngl man these Plastic surgery are one of the reasons I got into WH40K, hell I just started reading the Horus Heresy and planning of buying my first set of Salamanders, props from Venezuela
Dangggg that new intro is SLICK
haha im glad you like it. I really love 80-90s stuff
I love your channel and your very unique approach. Also really cool you're doing long form content. Really enjoy both these and the shorts. Keep up the amazing work!
Dear Sir, your technique is amazing and you have helped me a lot on this new journey of Warhammer (began 2 months ago)
Thank you so much! When I'm older i wanna paint like you ❤
Awesome model. Very nice paint job. Keep up the good work.
I love your painting method of going piece by piece and being as careful as possible, it’s almost meditative. It shows a serious amount of respect for your work and I’m sure the when Matt gets this model back he’s going to be blown away.
You're actually the whole reason I've been wanting to get better at painting. Your painting just always looks so great. I've been watching your videos and am currently working on a captain messinius model im painting as an imperial fist. I'm hoping to use your streaking grime tutorial to add some depth. It's not coming out great, but im gonna stay at it! Might have to pick up a few more captain messinius models 😂😂😂
Long shot that you’ll even see this but I’m painting some black legion for my first 2k point army, and will copying your black armor help me?
People often use blue when painting up black armor but I notice you didn’t do that here and I like the result! But people often say black armor is majority blue
Hey! Have you painted any blood angels space marines? I saw that terminator you did in the previous video and it was sick and was wondering if you have done any other blood angels. I'm a huge blood angels guy and am just getting into the hobby (your grimdark warhammer pieces being one of my main inspirations lol), my first combat patrol is arriving in a week or so and I'd really wanna see what you'd do with a blood angel for inspiration! Definitely going to be watching that space marine guide right before doing it either way though. Thank you for your time!
Great series.
What are some good stripping solutions for Forgeworld resin?
I picked up the classic World Eaters dread from ebay a while back that I'm 90 percent sure is legit but it needs some work for paint removal.
dang if i would do videos i would like your video editor haha
lol I wish I could have an editor. its so much work
This is my fav Warhammer content on UA-cam atm, I would totally watch longer form too if others suggest it. Keep up the stellar work! ⚡⚡⚡
Jesteś najlepszy 💪
