What took so long? I've been waiting for several minutes for this video to come out! ;) Great job as always. Also, I'm 99% sure this creature is the Umber Hulk from Dungeons & Dragons.
Hah, thanks mate! I know, I'm slacking, right? I only have a passing knowledge of D&D at the moment, but yeah, everyone is saying that it's like an Umber Hulk! Could be a cool alternative colour scheme :)
@@MidwinterMinis Well the GW version is hands down the best version of it I've seen so far - especially when painted - I love the colors you chose, and the "reverse zenithal" thing you did with the spray primer.
@@darrenp9454 it's probably a alumni of the feature from the early issues of White Dwarf (back when it was an rpg magazine primarily for D&D). I think it was called the Fiend Factory, and some of the best critters from that were published in the AD&D supplement, the Fiend Folio.
this turned out awesome, love the fact you went with a kinda drab color scheme rather than the bright popping one GW shows, yours makes a lot more sense for a bug living in the dark/underground, and while i won't be painting this exact mini, it does give me a lot of idea's for similar things. keep up the awesome tutorials!
I don’t own a single GW model, but I love that your speed paint videos are actually speed paints. You’re both fun to listen to as well. Keep up the good work!
I don't war game I am more of a scale guy, but something about you two works so well together. also it helps your great painters. If you keep having fun with the vids like you are you will do well on UA-cam. Cya on the next one 👊😉
Ah, but then you're making the assumption that I'm good at painting, haha. To be honest, my style of painting has been evolving into this. My main army is Orks (300 models of anguish), but maybe I'll do some more detailed stuff at some point :)
Brilliant video especially as I got my Ambull yesterday and took several hours to scratch my brain and work out where the lair is, what the counters are for and just generally where he appears from or how he gets started, well sort of, but now thanks millions to you two, I can crack on and get him painted. Also a million of thanks for doing something that I have never seen before, a cross reference of paint used from Citadel to Army Paints.. I have the full range of Army Paints and seeing your list is a breath of fresh air, so many many thanks for making life so much more easier, as I usually guess wrong when deciding the similarity from Citadel.
@@MidwinterMinis Just became a supporter of your channel on patreon, you guys are great lots of really handy tips and tricks, Im new to minis and this channel seems WAY more fun, LOVE IT!!!!
.......so i liked before i watched it.......and i know you two won''t disappoint ;) Oh, btw guy, cause i did not mention it for at least half a week, paint old orks and publish the audio!
That stringy muscle tone reminds me of crab flesh; and has made me strangely hungry. Another horrible (and possibly tasty) threat for the entrepid explorers to face! The hype for the remaining painting tutorials in the set is real...
Yeah! I was joking with Penny that it looked a bit like lobster or crab, then we got on to talking about giant isopods and it all went downhill from there.
Oh my that's a really cool idea for scheme !! And of course excellent paint job! Any chance you gonna show how to paint ur-25 ?! And thanks for all you're awesome videos!
As all gamers, we have a tons and tons of games so speed painting tutorials are a bless. Just a small thing, can you add time to your videos how long did it take for you to paint that particular model?
I'm certain there are well into the 14s of us that remember Guyver. Miniature gaming and anime nerds are both niche hobbies. Welcome to the niche corner!
You guys are sick. Used one of your techniques when I painted my rogue for D&D yesterday. Used the way you dilute paint to make a wash. Here is the final product if you would like to see. The cloak came out good. imgur.com/gallery/dJVQ7nR
You may not read this, but you have a new subscriber. I like the content you have produced so far and certainly like the paint jobs on the blackstone models👍🏻
Julian, not only do I read ALL the comments, I reply to them too. Thanks so much for letting me know you like the videos! I hope you get a kick out of the stuff I've got planned :)
Another awesome video, fun double narration as many have already said. End result was good too. BUT! Where are my Blackstone Fortress heroes painting tutorials?? I'm almost out of bad guys, so it's time to get cracking on the goodies
Guy, I just want to thank you for your amazingly informative videos... Painting models can be very... Stressful sometimes, especially if you are your own worst critic, which I am haha. With my models, I always try to go that extra mile, and it ALWAYS ends up ruining my paint job, rather than making it look better. The ways you describe make it seem so easy, and I need to adopt a style more close to yours if I am to ever get any better at painting. Thank you both for the videos, you deserve TONS more subs!
Ambull. Maybe paint it brown. A nice...umber, maybe. Ambull. Ambullllll. Ambullllhulk. UMBER HULK. (Maybe GW have revised their long held opinions about people stealing their characters and names and changing them ever-so-slightly to make it their o....oh wait)
Ah man, there has to be a better way to do the highlights. The model looks awesome after the wash, everything has a cool natural gradient to it, but then the highlights are really bold on top of that and, personally, cheapens it a bit. Is there a better, equally as quick method so make the highlights blend in on top?
Yeah, it's a little comic-booky. There are lots of ways you could keep it natural. You could do the same process but twice, with the first step being the flesh colour, then just use the pale flesh mix as a final highlight. Or you could use a small drybrush and just pick out areas you want after the wash stage.
though i don't paint mini's currently, i do know that some people do the same highlight process shown here, but thin the paint way more so it's less opaque, then they just do two layers of the thinned paint (the second layer covering less than the first) to transition it better.
Bio Booster Armor Guyver and Mutronics... i didnt read all the comments but you can definitely count me as a number three if people you made very happy with this! May I ask from which Company this Blue Ray/DVD Release is, because my old Manga Entertainment VHS's aren't so good anymore 😅
love your videos but l would love to see you try out an ork with different skin colours like red blue yellow, very random but l think it would make a cool one off vid
Midwinter Minis Oh yes, this goes waaaay back into the nineties for me with bootleg vhs of the ova and hand me down manga, it’s such a cool story and the fact that Mark Hamill was a feature in the first live action and the fantastic David Hayter in the second film, it surprises me more people haven’t heard of it. If you think the costumes were maybe bleh and too power rangeresq, there’s a guy who is a Guyver super fan that’s been running a website called bioweapons.com since the floppy disk age (I can’t believe he’s had the domain without issue so long) who did amazing Guyver armor. Also, if you got ahold of one of the awesome looking Guyver model kits from way back and tossed it up on the channel I’d love you forever!
It’s awesome how everyone can see something different in the ambull. Different hulking creatures or large machine. I personally find it reminiscent of gargantuas from the first Half-life. Who in my humble opinion were one of the scariest video game enemies.
Ooooh you! That's very kind to say. I really like their blue scheme, but I just don't feel like something a subterranean bug-monster would have fancy colours. I might be overthinking things, haha.
This was the first video I watched from your channel, the first few minutes I was surprised by the "crude" way of painting, and, to be honest, I was not impressed, but when you used the washes....oh my god, what a surprise! Beautifully painted model, good job! An eye opener on "painting strategy"! (and I looked at the musculaaaarityyyy, too....)
Haha, that's exactly the way I feel when I'm painting. "Oh no. This is terrible. People are going to hate this video. What have I done?... Oh, wait. It's getting better. Actually, this is great. WOO!"
Thumbs up for the Gyver references. As the Ambull is pretty much a straight copy of the D&D Umber Hulk; the brownish look is spot on :D The finished mini looks great.
Hah, thanks Euan! Had I known about the Umber Hulk before I started painting, it might have been fun to incorporate some more orangey colours. Never mind, I can always do another one, haha
I think the only think i would do differently is using really glossy black paint on the mandibles and claws, as well as a gloss coat for some of the other areas; gives it that smooth and slight wet bug feel. but all in all, that was beautifully executed
I don't have enough positive to say about the color scheme, or to be more specific the why of the color scheme. The termite themed idea is not only a great way to come up with something that works, make sense, all that cool stuff, but, most importantly looks (expletive deleted) good! Hats off good sir and thank you, also agree there needs to be a Nyd army in this scheme yesterday!
Great vid - seriously following these for my Blackstone Fortress (that’s still in shrink wrap from Christmas lol). Looking forward to more of your content 👍🏻
and there was me thinking that I'd have some time before you got round to posting this before I needed to put mine together but NOOO you had to go and get your guide uploaded super quick! I'm seriously impressed - thank you so much for this series, I honestly can't wait until you tackle the explorers from this game :)
Just did my first model. Your tutorial really helped getting started. A bit rough on the edges but it's pretty good. When I added the wash a bit paint for the legs was still wet so the front chest was smeared with wash+paint. Panicked thinking I fucked it up but when it dried it looked like the front was smeared with dried blood.worked really well. Thanks so much for the help!
PATRIARCHY!
Wap it oot!

Hah, shame it doesn't come with tiny furniture, too.
@@MidwinterMinis oh no!! how can u stop the mormons now?!?!?
@@fallocritico Shout out to Heroquest review is brilliant! :)
I loved the BardicBroadcasts reference. That guy is great!
Wasn't expecting to hear a bard reference here. A suprise to be sure...but a welcome one
"Man we're such professionals" DAMN RIGHT YOU ARE, we just gloss over the turn table for the moment 😂
Haha, I mean, it was still a pretty smooth spin, right?
Hey being a "Hand Model" is an actual job. You are a natural!
Not with these big ol' sausage fingers, haha.

It's even called an Ambull in older D&D lore...

Thank you, my Crabby pal!
Looks good. Love the Mr and Mrs narration, nobody else does it and the comic chemistry is hilarious.
"Comic chemistry" sounds like a nice way of saying "taking the piss out of each other" ;)
One of the two happy people here... Guyver was so damn cool, it was my first "I WANT TO BE THAT THING" show growing up. Time to watch the anime again.
I know, right? I felt the same. It probably helped that it almost had my name, haha.
@@emile1365 prepare to be excited! Almost everything is on UA-cam!
Guyver is awesome ... even the movies 😅 Id lap that up all day. Have to dust my vcr off and get in the attic now
Glad i wasn’t the only one getting hit with the nostalgia bat when guyver came up!
SHOW!!!!!!!!
Any video including an impression of bardic broadcasts is an instant winner... ;)
I'm so glad someone else got that reference! ......now I'm waiting for guy to do the impossible. speed painting a halfling army! :P
Haha, I'm glad people got the reference!
Came for this 😁
Love it! Thanks for these tutorials man, they're making my sporadic painting jags far more productive. #wigglybits
Good to hear! It's fun once you get into the swing of things :)
Nicely done - no interest in the model, but the techniques: very helpful
Thanks pal! Glad you enjoyed it. Sure the model wouldn't be fun to use lurking in your dungeons? ;)
Absolutely awesome! Great mix of useful tips and light hearted narration. Love it. Can't wait for more.
Thanks Dan! Glad you enjoyed it :) There's plenty more on the way, don't worry
I don’t own a single GW model, but I love that your speed paint videos are actually speed paints. You’re both fun to listen to as well. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for saying! Glad you're enjoying the videos! What models/games do you paint?
"the muscularity!" ahh a cracking painting job it is.
Haha, cheers!
I don't war game I am more of a scale guy, but something about you two works so well together. also it helps your great painters. If you keep having fun with the vids like you are you will do well on UA-cam.
Cya on the next one 👊😉
Thanks Vasili! That's very nice of you to say. We certainly have fun making the videos!
Don't really care for the GW paint job for the Ambull so I'm glad you didn't try to copy it.
I think it looks cool, but yeah, I think I prefer the space termite ;)
It would be cool to now and then have a slow-painting video as well.
To see where you can go if you want to get more detail :)
Ah, but then you're making the assumption that I'm good at painting, haha. To be honest, my style of painting has been evolving into this. My main army is Orks (300 models of anguish), but maybe I'll do some more detailed stuff at some point :)
Muscularity!
The best thing about HeroQuest is everyone referencing the best thing about HeroQuest.
YESSSSSS! #BardicBroadcasts shout-out!
The hero we need, not the hero we deserve.
These tutorials have been some of my favorite in a long time. Wonderfully done!
Thanks so much Josh! That's really nice of you to say. Glad you're enjoying them :)
That Ambull looks like it belongs to the Tyranids but you're right it does look like it came from Guyver.
Custom homebrew Guyver explorer rules, anyone? ;)
The family friendly presentation of this video makes it seem like it could be a 1990's BBC Kids show (think Blue Peter).
Then "PATRIARCHY"
Suddenly: PATRIARCHY, haha
Brilliant video especially as I got my Ambull yesterday and took several hours to scratch my brain and work out where the lair is, what the counters are for and just generally where he appears from or how he gets started, well sort of, but now thanks millions to you two, I can crack on and get him painted.

No problem, Terry! I'm glad you found the paint reference useful. I'll keep it up for future videos, I think a lot of people find it handy :)
Classic bard reference, love it! Look at the muscularity!
There's a bit of the bard in us all. But... not like that.
He's gonna miss that manual turntable spinning 😂
Awesome video 👍
Because we dub voiceovers afterwards, you can't hear me when I'm doing this.
I literally go "spin, spin, spin, spin" like an idiot.
😂 epic
After seeing that manual 360 turn, I subbed
Loving your vids
Haha, thank you! The turntable makes it easy, but it's lost some of the charm, right? ;)
@@MidwinterMinis Just became a supporter of your channel on patreon, you guys are great lots of really handy tips and tricks, Im new to minis and this channel seems WAY more fun, LOVE IT!!!!
I'm sorry but it just came to mind, 'his partner walks into their bedroom as hes getting dressed and pronounces WIGGLY BITS!!" 🧐
I'm not saying it hasn't happened
.......so i liked before i watched it.......and i know you two won''t disappoint ;)
Oh, btw guy, cause i did not mention it for at least half a week, paint old orks and publish the audio!
Haha, it will happen, don't worry!
Guyver! I remember buying the videos from Woolworths for 5.99 each. Hyper zoanoid team five ftw! It has to be streamed by some provider somewhere.
Most episodes are on UA-cam, but bizarrely some voices in the dub (Genzo Makishima notably) are different. Enjoy memory lane! :)
That stringy muscle tone reminds me of crab flesh; and has made me strangely hungry.
Another horrible (and possibly tasty) threat for the entrepid explorers to face!
The hype for the remaining painting tutorials in the set is real...
Yeah! I was joking with Penny that it looked a bit like lobster or crab, then we got on to talking about giant isopods and it all went downhill from there.
i have yet to pick up my ambul that i pre-ordered and you're already done with the tutorial? freaking spectacular mate!
Haha, thank you! Truly a "speed paint", eh?
Oh my that's a really cool idea for scheme !! And of course excellent paint job! Any chance you gonna show how to paint ur-25 ?! And thanks for all you're awesome videos!
There will be videos on all the models from the box set, even Robo-chan.
As all gamers, we have a tons and tons of games so speed painting tutorials are a bless. Just a small thing, can you add time to your videos how long did it take for you to paint that particular model?
A cool idea! I might get a dedicated timer!
Enjoyed the painting tutorial, loved the banter, you guys make an awesome team.
The classic double threat! Useful tutorial, and entertaining duo ;)
Subscribing entirely because of the Guyver reference. Such a classic with the best (terrible) dub ever.
ELEGEN, I'd do ANYTHING for you... Hahaha
Best comment on a painting video.. EVAaa... Also, sad the manual turn will disappear lol
I'll still do it for old time's sake, haha
Is Flayed One Flesh a suitable substitute for the Zandri Dust/White mixture?
Definitely! I'm just trying to use a limited palette to help new painters :)
I'm certain there are well into the 14s of us that remember Guyver. Miniature gaming and anime nerds are both niche hobbies.
Welcome to the niche corner!

Guuuuuuuuuuuuuy Veeeeeeeeeeer...
The first episode in every series is so badass, haha
Oh wow! That model is badarse haha, what a creepy little tacker!
Totally! Twice the size of any of the explorers.
with these larger minis would it be easer to do the base coat before putting them together?
Hmmm, for this one, not really. There aren't many parts that get in the way when painting it, and it's not actually THAT big.
Wait, with your paints do you mix the colors you list or is it a “ you can use one of these x options” kinda deal
It's just an "any of these will do" kind of thing :)
Those were some crazy manual turning skills.
wigglewigglewigglewiggle
Love your videos guys. Where can I donate to the channel?
Thank you! There's links in the video descriptions :)
Nice tut. And I totally got the Guyver reference. 😉
Excellent :D
Love the tutorial but the best bit about this was the ‘whap it oot! As a Fifer it made me chuckle 🤣
Haha, everyone's favourite is when you wap it oot.
Ambull. Maybe paint it brown. A nice...umber, maybe. Ambull. Ambullllll. Ambullllhulk. UMBER HULK.
(Maybe GW have revised their long held opinions about people stealing their characters and names and changing them ever-so-slightly to make it their o....oh wait)

Pretty much a dark Umber Hulk from DnD, really well painted! Keep it up!
Not enough credit goes to these guys, just discovered them and they're amazing
Thanks mate! It always brings a smile to read comments like this
What are the yellow things you stick to the base?
Aquarium gravel! Yellow was the cheapest colour, haha.
Man guyver was my first manga show I watched fell in love it might be time to rewatch it 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
Wow. Awesome version of the Ambull!
Thank you!
You’ll need a commissar to kill that in a cave
Indeed. Possibly 2. Or 20.
love your videos but l would love to see you try out an ork with different skin colours like red blue yellow, very random but l think it would make a cool one off vid
Yeah! I love that idea too. I've got bloody hundreds of the buggers to try it on, haha.
Damn you.....now i want blue orkz too.....
I thought you two were awesome before, but after you randomly dropped Guyver in an episode you became my favorite youtubers!!!!

Great video. Look at the musculaaaaaaaaaaarity!
Hahaha, cheers Chen :)
Looks better than the posterboy Ambul.
Ooooh you! That's very kind to say. I really like their blue scheme, but I just don't feel like something a subterranean bug-monster would have fancy colours. I might be overthinking things, haha.
Great video. I don't the ambull and I don't plan to. But I love watching/listening to Guy and Penny.
Hello. Thanks for your video, It's reaaly helps. Still I'm waiting so much also your video as for heroes from BSF =) Thanks for your great work!

The BardicBroadcasts bit cracked me up
Haha, I wished I'd practised that impression, it was pretty ropey!
Prefer yours to WH TV well done guys
Haha, thanks Stuart. Yeah, we're not too sure about the Warhammer TV version either :-/
I think the only think i would do differently is using really glossy black paint on the mandibles and claws, as well as a gloss coat for some of the other areas; gives it that smooth and slight wet bug feel. but all in all, that was beautifully executed
Found you guys from a link on the Blackstone Fortress facebook group :)
Awesome job. Im going to do Mallex and his marines from your recepie!

I need one of these to use as an Umber Hulk
Yeah, it would look great!
Giant Robo!!! Great, great anime.
CRUSH THEM NOW!
Just did my first model. Your tutorial really helped getting started. A bit rough on the edges but it's pretty good.
When I added the wash a bit paint for the legs was still wet so the front chest was smeared with wash+paint. Panicked thinking I fucked it up but when it dried it looked like the front was smeared with dried blood.worked really well. Thanks so much for the help!
Haha, nice. Sometimes happy accidents actually look pretty awesome!
