As a person who is starting out with this kit and the other space marine kit you reviewed, hell yeah, I would love to see the tyranids be painted on video
Bought it last week, and just after paying the 8€ shipping I realized it didn't include a wash when even the infernus starter set had one... Tyvm for making this video and showing us which colors to get 😁
I've just picked up the starter set yesterday so your video came at just the right time! And I'd love to see a video painting the tyranids as you hardly see those in videos. I also ordered the Warpaints Fanatic: Starter Set in addition because of the limited colors provided in the set.
I just picked up this kit and the Sigmar introductory set for myself and my son. This was super helpful and I would love to see a video for the Tyranids and the Sigmar kit. I was wondering what little things I could grab to add to it or what paints. Thank you, subbed and look forward to more.
I've just got into painting, started with an Infernus Squad and the Paint & Tools set. The brush supplied has already started to fray and split after base painting 2 models. Alreary ordered some better brushes.
Good move - new brushes will definitely help with the paint job and make it a more enjoyable experience! - feel free to share your progress on the discord if you like - and welcome to the hobby! :)
My biggest issue right now seems to be just having a steady hand. Especially during the lining steps such as edge highlights and in general painting around deep edges, it seems my hand just can’t hold a brush. Any methods or mindsets to sort of relax the hand or train it to be more steady?
Absolutely - the mindset part is about not worrying and being OK with messing up - but the physical aspect is about getting a braced, comfortable position. For me this is elbows by my side or resting on my chair's armrests, wrists against the edge of the desk, and I usually have my fingers resting against either a part of the model that's not been painted yet, or a part of whatever I'm using to hold it (or sometimes even my other hand) - that gives me an anchord to use which doesn't move independently of the miniature - then all brush movement becomes relative to the model. It's probably not the easiest to explain without showing you but you're welcome to jump onto the discord and I can elaborate. I could also do a video on it at some point since it's a small, but quite important thing :)
I'd love to see a video of painting the Tyranids :D I want to start painting some 40k minis and learn to play and this set seems like a decent way to get into it without having to bankrupt myself
Ohhh the pain of having to buy starter sets for content creation purposes. I feel you man 🤣 Awesome video once again my dude. Love the voiceover. Lore videos next?
I think if this was an iron fists box, or a blood angels box, your pallet could have been way more complete, trading blue or purple for a yellow or red gives you some real options
i really appreciated what you tried to do in your previous starter set video but i was less keen on the way you presented it, or the jump from raging at the starter gear to a very expensive brush etc. this video was far far better, really well presented with really valid and good points. Everything you bought and used is easy to get and while your experience shines through that is really the only difference. I learned a lot from both but enjoyed this one more and gained more from it too.
Just got this set I’ve been a big fan of 40K for years because of the various video games and books so this will be my first set to paint the caveat is I’m not painting smurfs for my first army I’m painting dark angels.
Oh nice - I guess you'll pick up some dark greens and stuff for that then - sounds good! Welcome to the hobby side of things - feel free to share your progress with us in the discord if you like :)
decided to get into this whole thing, bam tha I am, I bought the Tyranid Combat Patrol. I’d love a no bollocks look at someone who knows what they’re doing, making do with shitey tools and just getting the bastards done. +1 for a part 2!
As someone that wants to get back into the hobby after nearly a decade and no idea, this is super helpful and satisfying! How do you put the paint from the tub onto the container lid without wasting too much?
Thank you - glad you find it useful :) To answer your question, honestly I got used to how much paint I use - and it's always less than you expect - but the reality is, I still probably waste a fair amount. It's all relative though - I don't think I've ever got to the end of a paint pot - MAYBE a nuln oil wash, or a black or white, but generally even if I was to scoop out 3-5 times as much paint as I needed every time, I'd still only be using a small amount and I don't stress too much about wasteage. A few quid for a new tub of paint isn't the worst thing in my book. If you err on the side of less, you can always get more - so if it's a concern, definitely put less on the palette than you expect to use, and you might get used to knowing ahead of time. Hope this helps! Happy to elaborate further if you like - feel free to jump on the Discord, and we can chat in more depth :)
I stumbled upon your videos the other day and you’ve inspired me to give painting another go, in the past I always struggled and in the end it’s why I didn’t get very far into warhammer. I would love to see you paint the nids as I’m trying to start with them, any chance you could do one in hive fleet Kraken? Thank you for all the amazing videos ❤
Hey thank you! - Kraken will be tough with the paints I've got in the box - they really only give me cream and purple to work with so I just have to run with what they provide - BUT - the techniques will be applicable to different colours of course :) - cheers for subscribing!!
Picked up the Warhammer starter set and would love to see what you may suggest for painting the 'nids. Grabbed a paint & tools set, primer as well as some brushes and extra paints hoping to paint the marines as some Salamanders before getting on to the tyranids
If you are in the states, id grab a few bottles from gnomish bazaar, i got plenty for 2.50 each, you definately want your reds, greens, oranges, yellows iron/gun metalics, and some green contrast paint, since this set shorts you on those. All the brands are the same for new painters, just avoid the ones that give you extra small bottles, reaper and duncan come to mind. I recomend a bottle you can squeeze to get some clean water, so you dont feel tempted to thin with your cleaning water.
Thank you! It was doing my nut in :D - I liked it but it was too long, and I get sick of everybody's super long logo animations and stuff, so I thought "let's speed this up" - bam, logo. Sorted :D
Honestly if you want to get into painting than the best set to get is The Army Painter GameMaster: Adventure Starter Role-playing Paint Set. comes with 5 minis 15 paints 1 brush and wait for it includes primer too!!. I have been trying to price out for if you want get into 40K and the best I could come up with is Warhammer 40K: Paints + Tools Set and Warhammer 40K - Getting Started for the cheapest rules and paints. as it only comes with 2 minis. uggg any one else have a good starting point to 40K? I think you need to decide if you want to get into mini painting or into gaming first and go from there.
Agreed - deciding if it's gaming or painting you want to do helps - I'm going to look into the Army Painter stuff though - I don't want to become "the starter set guy" BUT I do want to find out if it's better value because I want to recommend things to people that are the best - not just what Warhammer offers :D
I bought this set like 5 months ago, I painted one as ultramarine and then I thought "man, this colors sucks, I need a lot more" so I bought enough to make them blood angels and the tyranids to be with the eva 01 color scheme
It's difficult for sure - I remember when I was starting that it was tough - the trick to it is angling the model to a comfortable place so your paintbrush feels natural - and having a gentle touch with the brush. It also helps to have the right amount of paint on the brush. Maybe I could do a video on brush technique which might help! :)
Something that I struggled with earlier on in painting was not using a big enough brush, the paint would begin to dry too fast and make tight line work quite difficult, maybe keep that in mind too - use a brush with a good belly!!
@@obnoxiouspedant oh yeah defo - it feels like it would be counter-intuitive because you assume "smaller = detail" but it's more about the tip, and having the belly with enough paint makes such a difference.
Amazing! I'm going to speak to them at SMC and find out more about maybe helping them spread the word about their brushes - only thing is their sizing is quite small compared to others - so a size 3 Hawk is about a size 1 everywhere else :)
My advice as someone who's been building, painting and playing warhammer for 30 years is first speak to friends chances are if you are considering the hobby you have friends in the space, second always friendly local games store it will save you money and they are unbiased on paints etc third always budget to buy extra paints and brushes when you buy your starter set/army make sure that includes a primer spray and an armour colour spray to save you time and get your base coat down nice and smooth also Tamiya cement never ever buy any other plastic glue
@@alexpaintstinythings thank you :) my other advice never buy the full army in one go work out a list and buy one or two units each time fully build and paint them before buying the next stuff I see so many people go gun ho buy everything build it all primer it then get so far before being burnt out and selling on
@@alexpaintstinythings same here took me years to learn to curb this particular ADHD hyper fixation Space marine 2 made me want to go all in on an ultramarine force had to stop myself and buy just two units to get started
Crazy timing. Just bought this set last week as my first attempt to get into the hobby.. Just laid down the 2nd base coat. My question. I noticed you did a black base coat and then did the blue sections. Do you still do 3 base coats and then go for details? Seems like you did the black base coat and then went straight for edge highlights and some of the easier details. How many "base coats" do you do normally ? Outside of the limits of the introductory kit .
Hey welcome to the hobby! Good question - I guess for me the black was strong enough because very little was going to end up black in the end (just dark recesses mostly) - so it was less important for me to get that coat looking good - when a coat of paint is going to be visible, it's better to get it looking nice and smooth with good coverage - that might mean 2 coats in some cases, but lighter colours often take more (i've done 5-6 coats of yellow in the past!!) - darker colours usually need less, but really it's also down to the coverage on the paint itself. The more you thin the paint with water, the more coats you'll need but the smoother it'll look when it's done - the less water, the less coats, but the thicker the paint and the more bubbly and texture-filled the finish will be (which is generally less desirable) - normally outside this starter kit I'll prime, then I'll lay down 1-2 base coats and each layer will get a few coats, depending on the colour and thickness of the paint. - sadly there's no easy answer here, but I'd be happy to help more if required - feel free to jump onto the Discord and we can for sure discuss further :) - thanks for the comment!!
Thank you! It was a size 3 round kolinsky sable from Hawk Miniatures. They’re £3.60 plus postage and you can order them online from the link in the description :)
Just finish my first space marine to bad I can’t sent you a picture of it for some critiqued. Also can you do a wash after your done painting? Sorry for asking I’m a newbie for miniature. 😅
Hey - welcome ot the hobby - yes, you can wash after you've done painting - some people like to incorporate it into their painting at different stages because often the wash needs a bit of tidy up work - but you can paint howver you would like - any guidelines are really just that - no hard and fast rules :) - thanks for the comment!
Sure thing - I'll line it up for a future video for you both :) (also apologies for my language - these vids are probably not kid safe unless they're on mute!!) :D
Literally got this set last week as I felt like giving it a go, my wraith bone paint has 2013 on the trademark on the bottom, it is so lumpy and useless.
It's kind of weird how this starter set technically doesn't include enough colours to finish both to 'table top' standards by GW definition. Especially considering there's no flesh colour for the face. Also : why the heck isn't GW including contrast paints in these sets ? It really feels like these kits have the potential to destroy enthusiasm for the hobby instead of acting as a starting point when you look at the quality of the things in them. I suspect that buying that starter paint set is more value and fun for a beginner. I'd love to see a comparison to the scale model + paint kits that the likes of Revell do.
I couldn't agree more - I've heard lots of stories now of people being put off by it - I picked up the Army Painter starter kit today and I already have a good feeling it'll be LOADS better than this mess!! :)
So they say - and I'd add the practice should be intentional and deliberate and goal orientated - but yes, practice is key - I'm no master either, but we're all on that journey together :)
@alexpaintstinythings true but I'd put money on them quickly going back to cockney 🤣 it's practically canon. Scottish might work (nice and thick so no one can understand them) 🤪
It honestly feels like you sabotaged yourself on the first marine to augment the obvious difference you were going to get either with the 2nd one either way. Kinda weird.
This is super helpful to understand how achievable a decent look is with a little bit of effort and determination
Thank you! that's eaxctly my goal with the videos - hopefully it encourages people to do more and enjoy the hobby :)
As a person who is starting out with this kit and the other space marine kit you reviewed, hell yeah, I would love to see the tyranids be painted on video

Thank you! I want to do some more, but I want to make sure I don't become "the starter video guy" :D

Considering the price of GW's tools, at this discount, you get at set of clippers, and the rest for free. Good deal!

Hooked brush in under four minutes.
