We paints's our precious Goblins's says Gollum the goblin painter! They look really cool -and a great demonstration of painting with yellow. I do have a soft spot for Goblins! :)
I’ve watched this video three times in preparation for my own 86 grot mass painting challenge. While I’m not doing yellow as the primary color (going with typical black), I found your methods to be inspirational in formulating my own plan. It’s definitely made it easier and more rewarding to finish whole steps on a large quantity of minis. So thanks Brent!! Looking forward to the next mini roulette!
So, somewhere in my storage unit I have a box full of first edition, WH lizard men! They have been in that box since the early 90's! The box is 36" by 22" by 22" and is literally packed with multiple copies every piece of the lizard men produced by WH 40k back then! I'm thinking maybe over 200 pieces all together! I'm going to put together a plan to paint that massive collection and maybe put them in a diorama against a phalanx of Brettonian Knights that I have been saving from the same time period! Thanx for the inspiration!
That's awesome!!! I volunteer to be your accountability buddy (accountabilibuddy). Now go get started, I'd really like to see that diorama someday! :-)
That's great to hear! 11 models is a good batch size if you're just starting out, that way you can learn and get better with every batch. Keep at it, you'll have a cave full of grots before you know it!
I stumbled upon this video a few weeks ago and since then I've watched dozens of tutorial videos, spent 200 dollars on supplies and just finished painting my first minis! Thanks for the inspiration!
@@GoobertownHobbies Thank you!! I started out painting a few Army Men from the toy store because I didn't believe in myself but they turned out decent and now I am painting some Frostgrave minis that I intend to use for DnD :)
@@LopsidedMoz There's a lot of used warhammer fantasy models floating around. Also, there are tons of other companies making cool minis these days - mantic, warlords, wyrd. Click around, you might find something cool!
I am in the process of my first batch of night goblin stabbas and I've fallen in love with these little guys. I've never played any version of Warhammer but have always been a collector of various different goblins for use in D&D , these guys have probably took the Pathfinder Goblins position of my favorites now. I doubt I ever go to these lengths with my painting, hell I use cheap craft paint from hobby lobby and make my own washes but the important part is I'm not embarrassed by my paint jobs and I have a wonderful time doing it! I never realized how relaxing and therapeutic it can be to sit down for a couple hours a day and just paint. As a plus my little nephew and niece have discovered a love of dragons recently so I painted them both a dragon , I can't wait for them to get them in the mail!
I gotta be honest I could never see myself painting more than 20 or so of anything, even if they don't all have the same color scheme, 20 was the point where I stopped painting chaos warriors and started kitbashing them to be something more interesting... And I didn't even paint them all at the same time! Huge props for somehow managing 100 bloody goblins out of all things.
@@TreetopCanopy Totally! Assembling models works well with RPGs also- it's less messy and easier to set it aside for a moment when you need to roll some dice :-)
Seriously, the best batch painting video I've ever seen by far. Not only went through the steps in detail by the info at the end of the video is gold. Coming from someone who's wargamed for the last 15 years. Awesome video mate. Thanks!
thank you for going to so much detail. not just about the physical either, but the mental aspects needed to take on such a huge task as well. the results are outstanding, and the composure and pride you show in your models is inspiring.
I'm so glad you liked the video! Making these is a lot of fun, I'm really happy that people enjoy watching them. Go do something great with that inspiration :-)
You sir have earned a subscription! As someone who is doing rank and file Fantasy Armies, and with a huge backlog of different armies I want to complete, there were some really fantastic tips here to inspire me to keep pushing forward!
Thanks! Have fun painting up those armies, that moment when you finish an rack them up is totally worth it. I think I inspired myself paint those battle for skull pas dwarves soon :-)
Da gusto ver a alguien joven pintando de forma industrial, sin necesidad de usar gafas.

I’m watching this video again as motivation to actually build and paint a night goblin army. I want to get into WFB and love the oldhammer metal models. This might help me lean toward the Skull Pass plastic gobbos. So good.
Hey thanks! Such a big fun git gob. I've even gotten to use them in games, and having piles of these runty little guys on the table is a lot of fun :-)
What's very helpful, as I get from the video, is your method. I used to do 3-4 minis at the same time, finish them, and then start another 4. I took time to finish 20-40 minis, and I got tired since you have to repeat tasks, and start over, repeat.. Then I changed my approach: I prepare them and I start making the same step for ALL of them. This is incredibly better, once you finish a process you don't have to repeat it and it's very motivationg, like you finished a quest. And go to the next one. I started 20 GW orcs (for KOW army) 4 days ago, and I am close to finish them. Once I'd have take much more time to have them ready. Thanks for the inspiration!
as a kid I painted 64 Skink models from the old Lizardman range (that was 2!! monoposes). drove me almost insane. I painted them one by one. with more adult thinking and planing (or better: guidance), it may not have been such a toture. great job! also, greetings, fellow left-hand ;)
Never in my life have I liked, commented and subscribed to a video that I had stumbled upon. For once, thanks UA-cam algorithm. Fantastic work and this is giving me inspiration to do this with all of my Tzaangors I have to paint.
I don’t comment on videos often, but this was very motivational and I’m looking forward to painting my big batch of Duardin soon. Also got me through a rather large terrain job! Thanks!
Great video! Batchpainting can be a real hassel, but once you're done you feel great at having achieved so much work. Doing a painting challenge myself atm and had been burned out on painting the last 3 days. But this gave me some much needed motivation to get back to painting the last minis. Hope the rest of your channel is as awesome as this, because this was a great video!
Very useful, I have 80 gaunts to paint here in the near future and will be using some of these tricks to help. I personally find listening to comedians when I hobby the least distracting form of white noise aside from music. I personally cant watch TV, I find myself glancing up way too often. Oh and copious amounts of coffee help too. Thanks for the tips and great video!
Thanks! Yeah I definitely went through a netflix comedy standup phase, you're right about that. I like to be at about 1 cup of coffee - can't be too jittery! Have fun with the gaunts :-)
Being overloaded as I am with all the hobby projects I’m currently working on, ive fiercely resisted the urge to build a gloomspite gitz army ever since they were recently released. But this awesome tutorial is testing my will power INCREDIBLY!!!
Great video, I can't fault anything you did or said. The scheme looks great (love the purple), the care you took shows and the result is way more than tabletop ready. - On the topic of yellow and airbrushes, I have my own story: I'm painting my marines in an orange and dark grey scheme. 1. Prime light grey and basecoat with a carbon/dark grey color (airbrush). 2. Paint chest, knees, feet, head, elbows, hands, shoulder rims, part of the power pack in a mix of gold yellow and orange fire (vallejo). Takes anywhere from 5 to 10 thin layers of orange. 3. Paint additional details like boltgun for guns, bright gold for emblems/aquila, blue for ropes/capse/cables and much more (well over 10 different colors, several hand mixed) 4. Glue the subassemblies (chest/legs + plus arms/guns + shoulders + head + power pack + pinning on base) 5. Wash orange and gold with seraphim sepia, some nuln oil on details, some aggrax earthshade for dirt effects. 6. Cry because I've done just over 40 models, but still have 15 marines, well over 40 primaris and 5 vehicles (2 rhinos, repulsor, land raider, imperial knight and a baneblade) Once I've finished this army, I will never paint yellow/orange on a dark base again. I don't know what I was thinking. My problem is that I don't own and currently can't afford the airbrush, so a friend of mine does it when he occasionally has time. If I were to do this again, I'd simply airbrush the entire model orange and then hand paint the grey. It's a lot harder to fix mistakes this way, but it can be mitigated by doing thin layers (four instead of the 5-10 orange ones). I will say this though; My effort shows and there won't be anyone else stupid enough to match my army colors.
Step 2 painting orange over gray sounds brutal! I've made that mistake before. Have you tried using an intermediate color on top of the gray? There are some yellowish colors that actually have good coverage. Averland sunset, desert yellow, ochre yellow, those might go on well in 1-2 coats and then ~2 coats of orange on top of that might do the trick. But yeah, in the future make sure to prime in a color that jives with orange (white or tan) or borrow your friend's arbrush :-) Do you have any pictures of your marines posted somewhere? I'd love to see them!
@@GoobertownHobbies - Thanks for answering, that's some very nice advice. If I base coat with my flash gitz I can probably get away with not mixing the orange layer and just paint it straight on. I'll try that. Here's a quick and dirty album: imgur.com/a/efTHkrW
@@Smilomaniac Nice! that color combo works really well. All that work got a nice orange out. I can't remember if I've ever used flash gitz or not- does it have decent coverage? Obviously theres a big range of transparencies in the yellow-orange range.
Great planning and process! I really appreciated the summary at the end about test models, drafting a plan, color selection, experiments, and time savings!
brilliant! Super inspiring. I play Warhammer Armies Project: 9th Ed. It's a community made rulebook taking the best of the last 3 editions, they also have army books to match. I've been really enjoying it. Something to consider since they're still on their square bases.
I'd love to play some Warhammer Fantasy again someday! I have fond memories and unfinished business with that game :-) I was definitely keeping my options open with the square bases.
@@GoobertownHobbies Haha, thanks that means a lot, that was a super fun build! Also wow this video has blown up! This is a great channel, I've shared it around to all my friends. keep up the good work and stay in touch! Looking forward to seeing what's next from you
I found out about your channel through the youtube channel "metatron" and honestly your channel is without a doubt the best minis painting channel I've ever seen. I'm very impressed with the detail in everything and clear explanations. I couldn't find anything to criticize. 10/10 and you can expect me to continue watching more videos.
Thanks Robert- Welcome aboard! I'm glad that you found Goobertown :-) I'm going to keep working on quality content, and hopefully even get a collaboration in with Metatron in the coming months.
I love these minis. I'm definitely starting to feel the hype for Warhammer: The Old World. It'll be nice to rank these guys up again and try to win a battle, or at least take out some of my opponent's army with me.
Absolutely fantastic! Got yourself another sub good sir. I'm exited to see more of your content. I'm also a big fan of the channel you mentioned, and I'm happy to have found both of your channels.
This video popped on my recommandations and while some of them are a clear indication that UA-cam is smoking weed, this one was a real pleasure to watch. Love the calm and soft voice/vibes of the video, the explanations and advice and really makes me want to replay the video while doing some painting (but not 100 models :D). Likes and subscribe done sir and thank you for this great video, hope you will do some more. Best regards from France.
It's good watching this video again. Not only are you a fellow left-hander but you also say 'greetings!' - which I do all the tine. 11:50 - audiobooks are my jam. I love getting into a book while painting. I find TV can be too distracting, especially if it's a painting video.
Hehehehe yeah way less paint on my hands and less fingerprints on the models. Also, those goblins are all neatly stored in a stackable cake pan right now. Magnets.
Back when I worked at a tabletop gaming shop, around the time Warmachine was new, the big thing was putting magnets in your warjacks so that you could remove destroyed limbs/heads.
@@ClokworkGremlin also great for characters and bigger with multiple assembly options. You get to paint more cool weapons and stuff and can customize easily before any game.
Thanks for making this video - I have an intimidating pile of dwarves for a Kings of War army to paint and this has given me a plan to start working on it.
Sir.... You somehow manage to get me through (a very small in comparison) batch project, with this inspiring video! You should have waaaay more sub than you currently have! No doubt in my mind that they will come tho'! Cheers from denmark! Thank you, and happy hubbying! :)
@@GoobertownHobbies That is the minimum amount I would guess one of these need to achieve that look you got :D Must have been hard to grind it but apparently it is very efficient way of painting
I'm really glad I found this video. I have around 110 of Warhammer fantasy Imperial (Highland Miniatures printed) 32mm models I've been afraid to paint. Handgunners, halberdiers, and pikemen. I've already painted 20 hand gunners and it took me a couple weeks. But you've given me several good tips that should help me speed up my painting. The organizing of poses and weapons before starting is definitely a great one. Thanks!!
Oh My! That is a lot of Mini painting! you have a great system! I do not ever see myself painting that many of anything! but we never know the future do we! I had no idea of getting any mini's, yet here I am looking at painting mini's from Jazza! Thanks Brent you have a sweet channel!
This is an amazing coincidence. A month ago I gathered and dusted off my unfinished Warhammer stuff from over a decade ago and what do I own? Two box sets of Battle for Skull pass. How relevant!
Awesome planning and awesome execution. Lots of fun to see them proper and ranked up like the miserable little gits they are ;). Seriously though, funtastic job and somewhat strangely soothing to watch...
Thanks Brian! Yeah I was hoping they would all look awesome in a big block, that's what kept me going through the slow parts :-) But now I wonder how good 200 miserable little goblins would look...
I like the time breakdown. Congratulations on finishing so many models, and at a great tabletop quality level! I haven't yet done the pre-plan. I guess I sort of do, I tackle a small part of a unit, usually 10 models and record the paint and steps I make on an index card as I do it. Then the next time I paint that unit type again, I refer to the index card and tackle 30 or so models at once. I am going to try the pre-plan approach with my Plaguebearers. I've found the Vallejo Game Color Extra Opaque paint line helps a ton with base coating, especially when batch painting.
Oooh, I'll have to look into that Vallejo extra opaque line. Getting a color done on a single pass would have massively helped on the purple and browns. I've considered grabbing GWs base coats for that reason, but I just hate the GW bottles so much. Vallejo though.... yes... Nice habit writing down your recipes. I wish I had gotten into that a long time ago!
GW used to have a line called Foundation Paints which were single coat bases. The GW base coats are okay, but the Vallejo extra opaque is more like GW's old Foundation line. There's also a line Creature Caster carries that appears to function like extra opaque due to pigment density - going to be ordering that soon. (The Vallejo extra opaques are mostly muted/dark shades - this improves their effectiveness. The Creature Caster carried line appears to contain many bright colors.)
I have a load of 40k Orks that I've been neglecting to paint for some months, including a Mordor troll-Warboss conversion... you have given me the the motivation to go back to these and start getting them done. Great video, really well put together and presented. Good stuff, a subscription easily earned :)
6 painting studios disliked seeing someone break down a large army into speed painting tutorial with amazing tips and awesome advice. Super rad man, super RAD.
Not gonna lie, first thinking 'ok, this should be interesting' and then 'I started by airbrushing' for me is kind of sigh, since most people don't have that. On the painting itself, its very cool to see it on camera mass painting all this and just hard not to be inspired by the organisation especially, great having like what was it 6 or 8 painting handles and how you lined them all up and well should be obvious I guess thinking back on it with organizing the colour scheme before hand so you should usually know where you are at and excellent job of what you said at the end, having a list of paintlist/order and crossing it out is an ingenious idea since like mentioned, i'm guessing it's quite satisfying to cross out. Fantastic job! will definitely use this for finish painting troops and oof, repainting most of my orks.
I'm glad there were some useful ideas in here for you! I know I learned a ton from doing this project. Taking the time to get organized is definitely worth it. I thought about painting these without an airbrush at all for the exact reason you mentioned. The results would have been pretty similar if I had just started by spray priming everything yellow or even brush primer --> brush yellow paint. Brush painting yellow still terrifies me though :-) Have fun with those orks!
So long as you just use it for basecoating (i.e. not accurate detailed airbrushing), you can get a cheap Chinese airbrush and compressor for, like, $50-$100 on eBay.
Good job on such a big project. I like your use of magnets I add one to the bottom of the wood pedestals and keep them on cookie sheets to move around easy and fast.
Right? I used all my free time around the xmas and new years holiday to get these guys done. Need to get more free time to paint more armies!! There is so much unfinished business in our boxes of nostalgic old models :-)
@@GoobertownHobbies I dusted off my old Warhammer army box yesterday and saw all the grey models in there :( Hopefully someday I´ll find the time to get into it again!
@@Jpeg-yz4xj Yes!!! this is excellent news, I'm glad you dragged those out of storage. As you're watching youtube, maybe start cleaning up a few models and see what happens :-)
@@GoobertownHobbies Bless you man! You couldn´t know but I really needed some positivity in my life and you are just the nicest guy I´ve ever encountered on UA-cam! Wish you all the best for your channel!

The painting while playing a Pen & Paper rpg is spot on. I have a friend that did this all the time back when we gamed at his place.

@@GoobertownHobbies thanks bro. Much love
I don’t comment on videos often, but this was very motivational and I’m looking forward to painting my big batch of Duardin soon. Also got me through a rather large terrain job! Thanks!
Well thanks for leaving a comment this time! I'm glad that this is helping you out :-) Make sure to post those Duardin when you're done!
Great video! Batchpainting can be a real hassel, but once you're done you feel great at having achieved so much work. Doing a painting challenge myself atm and had been burned out on painting the last 3 days. But this gave me some much needed motivation to get back to painting the last minis.
Hope the rest of your channel is as awesome as this, because this was a great video!
Oh it's a great feeling when they're done. Totally worth it. Get back to work! :-)
Very useful, I have 80 gaunts to paint here in the near future and will be using some of these tricks to help.
I personally find listening to comedians when I hobby the least distracting form of white noise aside from music. I personally cant watch TV, I find myself glancing up way too often. Oh and copious amounts of coffee help too. Thanks for the tips and great video!
Thanks! Yeah I definitely went through a netflix comedy standup phase, you're right about that. I like to be at about 1 cup of coffee - can't be too jittery!
Have fun with the gaunts :-)
Amazing work. I can grind out some army projects in under a month but this is genuine endurance painting.
Thanks! Yeah I'm proud of myself for not giving up this time around :-) It was totally worth it to push through to the end.
Being overloaded as I am with all the hobby projects I’m currently working on, ive fiercely resisted the urge to build a gloomspite gitz army ever since they were recently released. But this awesome tutorial is testing my will power INCREDIBLY!!!
Hehe, I'm glad to hear it! I'm overloaded too, but sometimes you just need to make room for gitz :-)
@Goobertown Hobbies Quick update: my resolve to not start another army has faltered: the new Looncurse box got me...
@@shineswillinsteve2350 The everdank strikes again!!! Yeah it looks like I'm gonna go halvsies on that box with a friend- Have fun! :-)
Great video, I can't fault anything you did or said. The scheme looks great (love the purple), the care you took shows and the result is way more than tabletop ready.

On the topic of yellow and airbrushes, I have my own story: I'm painting my marines in an orange and dark grey scheme.
1. Prime light grey and basecoat with a carbon/dark grey color (airbrush).
2. Paint chest, knees, feet, head, elbows, hands, shoulder rims, part of the power pack in a mix of gold yellow and orange fire (vallejo). Takes anywhere from 5 to 10 thin layers of orange.
3. Paint additional details like boltgun for guns, bright gold for emblems/aquila, blue for ropes/capse/cables and much more (well over 10 different colors, several hand mixed)
4. Glue the subassemblies (chest/legs + plus arms/guns + shoulders + head + power pack + pinning on base)
5. Wash orange and gold with seraphim sepia, some nuln oil on details, some aggrax earthshade for dirt effects.
6. Cry because I've done just over 40 models, but still have 15 marines, well over 40 primaris and 5 vehicles (2 rhinos, repulsor, land raider, imperial knight and a baneblade)
Once I've finished this army, I will never paint yellow/orange on a dark base again. I don't know what I was thinking.
My problem is that I don't own and currently can't afford the airbrush, so a friend of mine does it when he occasionally has time. If I were to do this again, I'd simply airbrush the entire model orange and then hand paint the grey. It's a lot harder to fix mistakes this way, but it can be mitigated by doing thin layers (four instead of the 5-10 orange ones).
I will say this though; My effort shows and there won't be anyone else stupid enough to match my army colors.
Step 2 painting orange over gray sounds brutal! I've made that mistake before. Have you tried using an intermediate color on top of the gray? There are some yellowish colors that actually have good coverage. Averland sunset, desert yellow, ochre yellow, those might go on well in 1-2 coats and then ~2 coats of orange on top of that might do the trick.
But yeah, in the future make sure to prime in a color that jives with orange (white or tan) or borrow your friend's arbrush :-)
Do you have any pictures of your marines posted somewhere? I'd love to see them!
@@GoobertownHobbies - Thanks for answering, that's some very nice advice.
If I base coat with my flash gitz I can probably get away with not mixing the orange layer and just paint it straight on. I'll try that.
Here's a quick and dirty album: imgur.com/a/efTHkrW
@@Smilomaniac Nice! that color combo works really well. All that work got a nice orange out.
I can't remember if I've ever used flash gitz or not- does it have decent coverage? Obviously theres a big range of transparencies in the yellow-orange range.
@@GoobertownHobbies - Thank you
@@Smilomaniac Good luck, let me know if you find something that works well for you!
THat's very impressive; both the technique and the finished product.
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed the video :-)
Great planning and process! I really appreciated the summary at the end about test models, drafting a plan, color selection, experiments, and time savings!
That's a fine looking horde you've got there. I've got the Skull Pass ones too and for the sake of my own sanity they are staying on square bases.
Thanks! It's Ok to be proud of our squares :-)
brilliant! Super inspiring. I play Warhammer Armies Project: 9th Ed. It's a community made rulebook taking the best of the last 3 editions, they also have army books to match. I've been really enjoying it. Something to consider since they're still on their square bases.
I'd love to play some Warhammer Fantasy again someday! I have fond memories and unfinished business with that game :-) I was definitely keeping my options open with the square bases.
And oh hey, I knew I recognized this name :-) I love that minecart of yours.
@@GoobertownHobbies Haha, thanks that means a lot, that was a super fun build! Also wow this video has blown up! This is a great channel, I've shared it around to all my friends. keep up the good work and stay in touch! Looking forward to seeing what's next from you
@@Miscast Thanks so much! the last 4 days have been crazy here in Goobertown, when I uploaded this video on Sunday I had exactly 100 subscribers :-)
@@GoobertownHobbies Brilliant to hear, this channel is going places for sure. I'm very excited about your content.
I found out about your channel through the youtube channel "metatron" and honestly your channel is without a doubt the best minis painting channel I've ever seen. I'm very impressed with the detail in everything and clear explanations. I couldn't find anything to criticize. 10/10 and you can expect me to continue watching more videos.
Thanks Robert- Welcome aboard! I'm glad that you found Goobertown :-) I'm going to keep working on quality content, and hopefully even get a collaboration in with Metatron in the coming months.
These guys are my best shot so far at painting full regiments. Can't wait for the return of Warhammer Fantasy. :)
Green wash over yellow base coat seems like the best/fastest method of painting grot skin for sure.
Yeah it definitely did the job! It's a bit splotchy of flat areas, but overall not too shabby :-)
I love these minis. I'm definitely starting to feel the hype for Warhammer: The Old World. It'll be nice to rank these guys up again and try to win a battle, or at least take out some of my opponent's army with me.
Absolutely fantastic! Got yourself another sub good sir. I'm exited to see more of your content. I'm also a big fan of the channel you mentioned, and I'm happy to have found both of your channels.
Thanks! Welcome to Goobertown :-) I'll try to do more quick shoutouts for channels I like in future videos.
I've watched this video a handful of times now, and it's a great watch every time!
Just found this video. Lisned to it while painting. It was very relaxing. Just subbed for painting background noise.
Hey welcome aboard! Keep on painting, I'll be happy to keep you entertained as you do :-)
This video popped on my recommandations and while some of them are a clear indication that UA-cam is smoking weed, this one was a real pleasure to watch. Love the calm and soft voice/vibes of the video, the explanations and advice and really makes me want to replay the video while doing some painting (but not 100 models :D). Likes and subscribe done sir and thank you for this great video, hope you will do some more. Best regards from France.
Thanks & welcome aboard! I'm really glad that you are enjoying this video. I have many more models to paint, so I'll keep making content like this :-)
It's good watching this video again. Not only are you a fellow left-hander but you also say 'greetings!' - which I do all the tine. 11:50 - audiobooks are my jam. I love getting into a book while painting. I find TV can be too distracting, especially if it's a painting video.
I reiterate those comments below, I love your calm approach. It puts one in a zen mode just listening to you before I even touch a brush to a mini.
I'm really glad you liked the video! Now go paint :-)
*Putting the magnets on*
Me: “AINT NOBODY GOT TIME FO DAT”
*spraying with the magnetic columns*
Me: 😲
Hehehehe yeah way less paint on my hands and less fingerprints on the models. Also, those goblins are all neatly stored in a stackable cake pan right now. Magnets.
I was today years old when I learnt of the glory of the magnets
Back when I worked at a tabletop gaming shop, around the time Warmachine was new, the big thing was putting magnets in your warjacks so that you could remove destroyed limbs/heads.
@@ClokworkGremlin also great for characters and bigger with multiple assembly options. You get to paint more cool weapons and stuff and can customize easily before any game.
I like your approach and step documentation.
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it :-)
You are my HERO. Have I mentioned lately how RAD YOU ARE and how happy I am to have found your channel? It's true, you're Rad and this channel rocks!
Thanks man! I'm going to try to keep earning your praise :-)
Thanks for making this video - I have an intimidating pile of dwarves for a Kings of War army to paint and this has given me a plan to start working on it.
Nice! I'd love to see how they turn out :-)
Sir.... You somehow manage to get me through (a very small in comparison) batch project, with this inspiring video! You should have waaaay more sub than you currently have! No doubt in my mind that they will come tho'!
Cheers from denmark!
Thank you, and happy hubbying! :)
That's awesome, I'm glad I could help :-) Happy hobbying to you as well!
32 minutes per model is amazing at this quality, great job :)
Thanks! If I was doing them one at a time I'm pretty sure it would be like 90 minutes each :-)
@@GoobertownHobbies That is the minimum amount I would guess one of these need to achieve that look you got :D Must have been hard to grind it but apparently it is very efficient way of painting
@@whiskyimpressions4373 Yeah it definitely has pros and cons, but it was fun enough that I still want to paint more goblins :-)
I'm really glad I found this video. I have around 110 of Warhammer fantasy Imperial (Highland Miniatures printed) 32mm models I've been afraid to paint. Handgunners, halberdiers, and pikemen. I've already painted 20 hand gunners and it took me a couple weeks. But you've given me several good tips that should help me speed up my painting. The organizing of poses and weapons before starting is definitely a great one. Thanks!!
Got recommended a classic goobertown. Nice to go back to the beginning once in awhile
Nice one! Batch painting is the best way! I’m slowly painting a fyreslayer army
Thanks, this was fun! Good luck with your stunties!
This is truly awesome, in so many ways. Planning, patience, result, square bases!!!!
Age of Smegma can Do One!
Thanks! Yeah I'm really pleased with how these little buggers came out, the effort was worth it.
Oh My! That is a lot of Mini painting! you have a great system! I do not ever see myself painting that many of anything! but we never know the future do we! I had no idea of getting any mini's, yet here I am looking at painting mini's from Jazza! Thanks Brent you have a sweet channel!
This is an amazing coincidence. A month ago I gathered and dusted off my unfinished Warhammer stuff from over a decade ago and what do I own? Two box sets of Battle for Skull pass. How relevant!
You know what to do. do it. do it. do it. :-)
Awesome planning and awesome execution. Lots of fun to see them proper and ranked up like the miserable little gits they are ;). Seriously though, funtastic job and somewhat strangely soothing to watch...
Thanks Brian! Yeah I was hoping they would all look awesome in a big block, that's what kept me going through the slow parts :-) But now I wonder how good 200 miserable little goblins would look...
I like the time breakdown. Congratulations on finishing so many models, and at a great tabletop quality level!
I haven't yet done the pre-plan. I guess I sort of do, I tackle a small part of a unit, usually 10 models and record the paint and steps I make on an index card as I do it. Then the next time I paint that unit type again, I refer to the index card and tackle 30 or so models at once. I am going to try the pre-plan approach with my Plaguebearers.
I've found the Vallejo Game Color Extra Opaque paint line helps a ton with base coating, especially when batch painting.
Oooh, I'll have to look into that Vallejo extra opaque line. Getting a color done on a single pass would have massively helped on the purple and browns. I've considered grabbing GWs base coats for that reason, but I just hate the GW bottles so much. Vallejo though.... yes...
Nice habit writing down your recipes. I wish I had gotten into that a long time ago!
GW used to have a line called Foundation Paints which were single coat bases. The GW base coats are okay, but the Vallejo extra opaque is more like GW's old Foundation line. There's also a line Creature Caster carries that appears to function like extra opaque due to pigment density - going to be ordering that soon. (The Vallejo extra opaques are mostly muted/dark shades - this improves their effectiveness. The Creature Caster carried line appears to contain many bright colors.)
@@charlesfe Thanks for the tip! One of those lines might just be my next purchase.
I have a load of 40k Orks that I've been neglecting to paint for some months, including a Mordor troll-Warboss conversion... you have given me the the motivation to go back to these and start getting them done. Great video, really well put together and presented. Good stuff, a subscription easily earned :)
Welcome aboard! I'm happy I could convince you to get back to your boyz :-) Go get to work, and be sure to share that warboss when you're done!
Wow, so impressed you did all that with your left hand too.
The real challenge would be for me to try this with my right hand!!! :-)
This is so relaxing. You could really be the next Bob Ross.
I love this compliment :-) Bob Ross videos have recently started showing up on my suggested videos. The UA-cam algorithm has read your comment hehehe.
Duuuude! I’ve been wondering how to do things like this with out wanting to paint the wall... thanks man!!
Right on! It still gets a bit boring at times, but It's totally worth it when you get to the end! :-)
lovely video mate well done batch painting can be very hard at times :) after 35 years of paint miniatures. i am still learning every day
Thanks! I'm pumped that I was able to make it through this project, I definitely learned a lot from doing it.
6 painting studios disliked seeing someone break down a large army into speed painting tutorial with amazing tips and awesome advice. Super rad man, super RAD.
Hahahaha, that or 6 diehard round-basers. Glad you liked the video!
Not gonna lie, first thinking 'ok, this should be interesting' and then 'I started by airbrushing' for me is kind of sigh, since most people don't have that.
On the painting itself, its very cool to see it on camera mass painting all this and just hard not to be inspired by the organisation especially, great having like what was it 6 or 8 painting handles and how you lined them all up and well should be obvious I guess thinking back on it with organizing the colour scheme before hand so you should usually know where you are at and excellent job of what you said at the end, having a list of paintlist/order and crossing it out is an ingenious idea since like mentioned, i'm guessing it's quite satisfying to cross out.
Fantastic job! will definitely use this for finish painting troops and oof, repainting most of my orks.
I'm glad there were some useful ideas in here for you! I know I learned a ton from doing this project. Taking the time to get organized is definitely worth it.
I thought about painting these without an airbrush at all for the exact reason you mentioned. The results would have been pretty similar if I had just started by spray priming everything yellow or even brush primer --> brush yellow paint. Brush painting yellow still terrifies me though :-)
Have fun with those orks!
There's nothing done here with the airbrush that couldn't be easily done with a rattlecan- you'd just have to do it outside.
@@GoobertownHobbies @Joe Gekko Yeah I was gonna throw that in actually with the coloured spray cans, but forgot
@@joegekko with these temperatures, I will have to wait for months until I can start painting again... hate it.
So long as you just use it for basecoating (i.e. not accurate detailed airbrushing), you can get a cheap Chinese airbrush and compressor for, like, $50-$100 on eBay.
This was straight up comfy
Good job on such a big project. I like your use of magnets I add one to the bottom of the wood pedestals and keep them on cookie sheets to move around easy and fast.
Thanks!! Yeah I do that too, my handles also have magnets on the bottom so that I can stick them to cookie sheets :-)
Your videos are always so calming and happy, it puts me in such a good mood
I like the color scheme cause it's much better than the generic black. i made mine a bright purple :D
Nice! I'm thinking about some purple robes for my zarbag's gitz :-)
@@GoobertownHobbies if you do, upload it to youtube
@@Kaasbaas1234 Of course!
Interesting how UA-cam works; all your previous videos are between 3-9k views, then suddenly you upload this and you're now up to 200k.
Right? Maybe UA-cam devs love goblins? :-)
Watched this twice. Love to watch the transformation. The finished product is awesome.
That's what I like to hear! Glad you enjoyed the video :-)
One of the most wholesome dudes on the internet. A+
OMG the amount of nostalgia that just hit me is overwhelming, I´m so sad I dont have the time anymore to paint Warhammer armies :(
Right? I used all my free time around the xmas and new years holiday to get these guys done. Need to get more free time to paint more armies!! There is so much unfinished business in our boxes of nostalgic old models :-)
@@GoobertownHobbies I dusted off my old Warhammer army box yesterday and saw all the grey models in there :( Hopefully someday I´ll find the time to get into it again!
@@Jpeg-yz4xj Yes!!! this is excellent news, I'm glad you dragged those out of storage. As you're watching youtube, maybe start cleaning up a few models and see what happens :-)
@@GoobertownHobbies Bless you man! You couldn´t know but I really needed some positivity in my life and you are just the nicest guy I´ve ever encountered on UA-cam! Wish you all the best for your channel!
@@Jpeg-yz4xj Well I'm glad I could help a little :-) If you're looking for some more unbridled positivity in this hobby, check out Paint all the Minis. It's a podcast/ youtube channel/ facebook group. And don't put those models back in the closet yet- this hobby can be super zen if you want it to be! :-)
Great video! I have 60x Empire Halberdiers to paint. Really needed the inspiration! *subscribed*
Welcome aboard! Are you gonna do those 60 halberdiers all at once? You can do it!
You sir have the patience of a saint.
It paid off! :-)
Oh wow. This iconic Goober video turns exactly 2 years old today! What a coincidence.
Oh wow, you're right! :-)
speechless :O
*just subscribed from the amount of dedication just for this video*
Welcome!!! This project was a ton of fun, more on the way :-)
Goobertown doing contrast paints before GW
Green ink outta the bottle. Gives some good contrast! :-)
HOORAY! I also painted them yellow with gray bases! But I'm very thankful I found your video because I've been stuck on the shields
On the odd chance that you've not watched The Expanse...well, you need to. I think it's the best sci-fi show in recent years.
