Great video! I have just started painting them for myself (I am beginner, I painted few 3d printed minis before and bought the game to kinda learn on them painting techniques and maybe get into playing this types of games) and I will definitely look for your minis to get some ideas how to do them!
really great job! i just painted 80 imperial guard infantry just need to do 20 more then ill be at 100! which is my goal then on to tanks then matte varnish and basing although its taken me months! but i am very proud of it! you are a very hard worker and i subscribed!
My hats off to you sir. 63 minis at a whack!? Big 👍! I myself just finished assembling 60 zombies from Mantics Kings of War line (2 days of finding the time to snip, file, glue, repeat lol.). I'm thinking of giving them all a black rattle can prime followed by a dry brush of grey then a dry brush of white on only the most upper facing raised surfaces. I plan on using only citadel contrast paints. Any advice? Thanks.
@@keep_making Hey, well to be honest, I think I lost a lot of the benefits of the contrast paints by putting them over the zenithal prime layers. My best results for the zombies flesh came when I used basilicanum grey. It worked the best with the primer tones underneath. Plaguebearer flesh looked HORRIBLE as did apothecary white. Skeleton horde was ok but the black primer in the deeper recesses was very overpowering. Of course my drybrushing skills leave much to be desired which could contribute a lot to the zenithal prime being unbalanced in a lot of areas. Too much black showing here, not enough grey or white there, etc.....Im still learning my way around this hobby. What I did have fantastic results on were the wolves I also painted from the zombicide wulfsburg expansion. I ditched the zenethal and went with either a black, white or grey primer depending on the color fur I wanted. Then I blended various layers of contrast paints and washes to add dimension to the fur and topped them off with drybrushing to bring out the various fury details. I think overall, the contrast paints coupled with the drybrushing and washing gave me the results I was looking for and will continue to practice combing those methods with other minis. Thanks for checking back with me. Stay safe and take care.
My simple question - How much time and how much money? :D I'm asking because with C:CMD+Goat+Yog'Sothoth - for me it was 85h, TT standard, and people was saying that ~$250 was too much (so ~$4/h). This was below minimal allowed wage in my country (Poland). They even originally thought (because of the painting standard) it was ~160-200h. Didn't change a thing.
i didn't log the total amount of time i spent to be honest. but usually with batch painting commissions i charge $25 CAD per 28mm model, and if models are bigger than that i charge $50-$100. but if i am commissioned to do single highly detailed models i start my fee at $50 and range up to $250 CAD based on the size or detail. you should also be charging for materials used, and charge so that you are making a profit. i find it really helps to explain to the person who is commissioning you where there money is going. bigger numbers can be intimidating or seem steep, but vie found when someone is able to understand how much work goes into this type of painting, they will understand your prices. hope that helps.
@@keep_making Wow! To compare, I shoot a price of ~300CAD for painting 54 minis. (Game costed ~150CAD). This was for 85h of painting, so about... 4CAD/h :D :D :D People was "noooope man, tooo much, forget it".
@@RESURRECT2 that is more than fair. I try to be able to get one mini done per hour, so that I’m making minimum wage + material cost & profit. With batch painting that means you can even increase profit if you’re able to find optimization and efficiencies.
@@keep_making Hello :) Thank you for the video. How much did you charge for this job plz? (to make me an idea for commissioning my modern zombicide game)

hey Thanks so much! yeah absolutely i did the exact same thing with board games when i first started!
Super vidéo !
I need a video with some close ups for what to look for when cleaning up the models before painting.

Thank you so much!
That’s super impressive and nothing to shrug at, you’re at the end of the road! Best of luck with the rest of the project!
@@keep_making batch painting 60+ guys is just insane the level of focus and stamina is phenomenal! thanks for responding it means a lot to me!
@@yoyoyo9669 thank you for real! I appreciate it a lot!
Great job! I'm just getting started doing the same for my set.
Great stuff friend 👏 👍
Thank you kindly 😁

@@tp6498 well I’m glad the wolves worked out and you a enjoy them! Keep at it! Take care!

Nice work! I might have missed it in the video, but what was the total time from start to finish on this? Thanks!
Thank you! I'm actually not quite sure, I wasn't really keeping track, but i only get about 2-3 nights a week to paint, and it took 2.5 weeks.

@@ObidanRod hello, sorry im just seeing your comment now. down below i just finished replying to a similar question. i hope that helps.
All the same 😂
