Your "good enough for the table" philosophy on minis is a very necessary and underrepresented PoV. Thanks for making painting more approachable: more no-nonsense grow-the-hobby advice!
Almost every pro painter on youtube really recommends painting to table top standard for the most part, because if you do your best work on every fig you will drive yourself mad. That said, Sam Lenz's table top standard it probably better than my best work.
Another great speed paint video, Professor. (Yup, I'm finding your older painting minis videos). Thanks again for your hard work helping us basic painters out. 😎😎😎😎👍👍👍👍
Glad you like them! I have not one but TWO speed painting videos coming up. One is how slap chop works using Army Painter speed paints and in the other I slap chop and highlight some orcs. Stay tuned!
Tip for the army shade. Apply mineral spirits to a make up qtip and highlight by hitting your high spots like the skull masks’ forehead. You need to do this at about the ten minute mark on setting the shade give or take. This will strip a bit of the shade and brighten it up in a highlight. The best part is you can highlight without having to wait for the cure and the highlight looks more natural than applying color on top of the shade. It’s pretty simple and the effect is good
Discovered the same brush watching James and that is all I use except for fine fine detail work. They are such good workhorses and can do acrylic, oil, ink, contrast, metals doesn't matter. Great perspective and video!
Frosgrave minis rock.Also, if you restrict your palette to 3-5 colors, they'll look like they belong together but they can still be whatever they need to be.
I'd be interested in seeing you tackle airbrush speed painting. Also, thanks for the speed painting videos you've already done. They've given me motivation to tackle the hundreds and hundreds of unpainted Bones minis I have.
Also note you don't have to soak the models at all actually. If you want you can get a rubbermaid sink tub and fill it with luke warm water and some dish washing soap. Let them sit for a few minutes and take a soft bristled tooth brush and gentle rub the soap over the models and then wash them off and dry them with a hairdryer and you're good to go. I've been doing that method for over a decade and never a problem. Works great for metal miniatures as well.
Fine fine Deathbringer.. I subscribed dammit! Stop pesting me hah. That is a common misconception about painting miniatures that you need expensive brushes. Sure they last longer but you most definitely do not need them to paint good looking miniatures.
Prof DM: Hobby Lobby is the Zak Smith of retail giants. You’re an upstanding, principled guy; it bums me out that you promote them. If anyone knows of an equivalent brush from any other business, I’d love to pick up one.

You should consider switching to GW contrast paints. You can reach a ‘table ready’ level with your miniatures much faster and you don’t need so many different paints (base, layer etc.)
I've gotten several boxes of Frostgrave minis, and the one and only disappointment I have is how tiny they look next to Reaper miniatures. Great for kitbashing with historical minis though!
many mini companies are going with "heroic" size minis and are more like 32 now. So you get alot of short guys :) its ok in RL very few men are over 6 feet :D
Would Agrax Earthshade be a similar colour to Quickshade? If it is try that instead, should remove the 2 days waiting for it to dry and save the brush in the process
2 hours to paint... 48 hours to dry... that's HERESY! Drying is for people with time... we need the Dragon's Breath of Drying please... new from Kenner
wow you paint really well! unfortunately I don't like the design of the minis. since you love minis, do you know a patron (that's what it's called, right?) who alternatively offers minis as printer files for 3d printing? something that goes with the cold frostgrave chemist too :) Warm greetings from Germany! franky
Those look pretty good, PDM. Personally, I like to take a little more time (too much?) but I'm not trying to get armies on the table either. Another personal choice, I'll be goddamned before I shop at HL. Course the owners would say the same...hmm...
As somebody who studied art in college, all the names for these paints triggers me. I want like a "crimson" or something lol. At least some way to familiarize myself with these cryptic names without just memorizing what they were.
I bought quickshade without doing much research on it, like a complete idiot, I hate it. Lol, I know I'm probably the rare one that does but, I can't stand using it. My minis no matter how much I varnish them still feel sticky when done. I let them sit for 3 days, varnish and still sticky. Maybe I'm doing something wrong?
Nothing to see here, most any new brush is a great brush. The difference in cheap vs. expensive is how long they last. I use the same Hobby Lobby brushes Sam Lenz uses and they're awesome...for a while. But they come 5 to a pack and they're cheap, so just bust out a new one.

I just discovered Frostgrave minis recently and I’m loving them.
I always enjoy your painting and crafting videos.
Great video! Prof DM demonstrates to the DU students the way to paint with confidence- anyone can paint miniatures!
Thanks!
Didn’t need the Vest of Protection here, but it was sharp as always 👌🏻
Best D&D channel on YT, I got into painting models because of PDM and now it’s one of my favorite pastimes! Thank you sir for being awesome.
Likewise. I'm working my way through Massive Darkness and Hate thanks to PDM.

These cultists are the minis I need in my life. Hard to find a box but within a couple hours of this video I have a couple sprues ordered. Thanks PDM!

Good advice. This method works extremely well with enamels too, such as Streaking Grime and Slimy Grime.
I'm really digging these mini painting videos.
Great advice & info PDM, as usual. Thank you!
Glad to see the return of Classic Deathbringer. Now give us Deathbringer 2024 shirts!
Great minis sets, lots of extra bits. Good paint jobs.
Great video mate, a very playable force.
I mixed warlord orcs who had hooded heads as well as mantic zombies and ghouls and got 88 out of my 20 man box. It was AWESOME!!!!!

Just got a box of these myself. Really cool minis for something like Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay or other grimdark fantasy.
Very much so!
I think I’m gonna grab a sprue or two for use in SLUDGE.

Paint brush Brand is named Crafter's Collection
10/10
This is my favorite unboxing channel.
Thanks for pointing me towards Frostgrave figures! I’m buying a box of Ghost Archipelago Crewmen to make Vassagonians for my game set in Magnamund.
I own this set and they are fun to paint.
this speed paints are great, very impressive work!
The Frostgrave and Oathmark miniatures are great.
Using this and the Hate video to speed paint my Cthulhu minis this weekend.
I just love your crafting videos
We can always complete a project faster with an assistant/friend - tfs! I liked and subbed.
Once again PDM demonstrates his doctorate in Speed Painting!
I'd love to see your take on the Skeleton Warriors from Wargames Atlantic.
Jason and the Argonauts skellies, 32 of them!
Great stuff friend 👏 👍
Those are some good looking minis.
I bought these minis from my FLGS a few weeks ago. I plan on using Contrast paints to speed paint them.
What miniatures have you used for death bringer?
An old GW Chaos Warrior and a mini by Hassle-Free minis. But Deathbringer will get ANOTHER upgrade in 2023 around June/July. Stay tuned,
@@DUNGEONCRAFT1 thank you for your feedback, I will give it a try.......also I found some dollar store toys I am practicing on.
You can use Ivory soap to clean the oil paints out of your brushes, there is no need for solvent based brush cleaners.
Mm, Nice unboxing! It's clear you understand the genre...
Beast mode!

Awesome video as always PDM!! Frostgrave cultists are my favorite...btw what paint would you recommend for black cloth or clothing? 🤔😁

Awesome!
Any suggestions for someone who is getting back into the painting hobby after a long break and has developed a minor tremor in thier dominate hand?
I wish I did. I would ask Sorastro, Goobertown minis, or Zumikito. Those guys are experts.
"Unspeakable acts" Hahahahaha! Classic!
I've been to two different Hobby Lobbys and I can't find any big packs of number 8 brushes. Can you post a link to buy the brushes in the description?
Make them table ready...
I like it
I too keep all my bases black
It's a lot faster.
Would Agrax Earthshade be a similar colour to Quickshade? If it is try that instead, should remove the 2 days waiting for it to dry and save the brush in the process
quick shade is thicker and adds a protective coat to the figures.
Very cool
I don’t have a hobby lobby near me though
Search on the website for item number 238295. They come with either green or grey handles.
@@DeviousDungeonsPainting thank you
@@DeviousDungeonsPainting you the real MVP
I would use a home made acrylic wash rather than quickshade (especially the tin). Never had it work properly enough for my personal tastes
Unspeakable...axe? I'll let myself out...
YAY - the old Dethbringer is back. But who was the new guy? One of them must be an impostor.....
Once again, PDM shows us: this is the way.
Who is this Picassa and how can I see more?
Google search is your friend.

Apply it in a very thin coat. Do not slop it on. remove the excess when it pools too deeply.
Unsticky in 72 hours in my environment
I got a can that did that. Sometimes you can get a bad can, but also I figured out that they NEED to be stirred and not shaken.
One Deathbringer is one like
cookie for the metric
Comments for the comment god! Hey PDM, can I have advantage on my next roll, for praying to the comment god please?
