Excellent video this week! For your next video: Guide for batch painting all your spearhead armies. Would be a nice opportunity to cover: 1) how to plan batch painting for a spearhead force (tools; model prep; sub assemblies; color scheme/basing; schedule). 2) Principles for painting in batches (i.e., goal-setting; small v. large batches; maintaining momentum across multiple batch-painting sessions; what areas of the model to start with; use of color; how to identify high versus low impact paint areas; speed vs. slow approaches to batch painting) 3) Intermediate techniques to elevate a batch paint (e.g., streaking grime, pigment powders, effects paints, etc. Which work well for batch painting? Which don't?) 4) What to do at the end of a batch paint. Most army painting vids tend to emphasize the early stages with the goal of getting something on the table. What things should be considered at the end of batch painting? 5) Any spear-head specific considerations for batch painting? (basing to match spearhead board; expanding spearhead to full army) Keep up the amazing work!
I've recently bounced back into painting after getting discouraged years ago, in large parts thanks to your video's showing contrast paints and drybrushing. I am very perfectionist, and struggle to find joy in my own work, which meant I used to bounce away from miniature painting, never quite happy with the result. I found out about slapchop existing, and I ended up doing a lot of research, including several videos posted on this channel. And you guys really brought back like...a joy of painting I've not felt since I was a kid. I finished up a few miniatures a few days ago that I spent way too much time on, but I am genuinely so proud of how they turned out. It's been such a boost to my self-esteem. So... thanks for spreading the joy of the craft. Since I am also painting miniatures that feature canopies and cockpit glass; I'd love to see your take on that. The jewelling technique I'm using relies a lot on wet-blending, and it's one I'm getting acceptable results out of, but it's not quite there yet. Would love to see if there's a way you would tackle it!
20 or 40 of him would look amazing ravening across the table That top "hunch" armour panel is just screaming for a quick freehand tho, simple skaven symbol(s) daubed quickly, off centre and irregularly, just as skaven do - would make a horde of backs look differentiated Very cool colours
Starting a paint-project of over 80 skaven clanrats, this video made the idea less daunting. Thank you for the encouragement with this! I'll be using your suggestion for most of the mass-paint.
I absolutely adore that you leave your mistakes in! Ive been really struggling for inspiration recently, but this has got me so excited to spend money I dont really have! Seconding the OSL comments, but id also love to see you go into detail about how you let certain contrasts pool, and when to thin it down. I know they're really novice subjects, but im a novice, so... 😅
@@ArtisOpus All the upvotes for my whole life on "how to control contrast." For the life of me I cannot figure out how people get contrast paint to look like anything other than a blotchy mess.
My tip - dont be scared to mix contrast paints (or any paing for that matter) on the model itself. The smoother graident and visual punch is more familier to the human eye especially in skin tones where they are very rarely uniform
Would love to see an updated version of your Painting Stormcast Vindictors but with different schemes. Perhaps white gold, battered grim dark style and ultra clean high fantasy armor styles.
Just found this channel. You are such a helpful paint teacher. I’m a new painter jumping into Skaven with the release box and working on my first box of clan rats. Please post more tutorials of the new Skaven models!
@@ArtisOpus it’s true though mate, I don’t mind what you create, I always tune in and I use your brushes daily and your brush care products, keep growing and keep doing what you’re doing, because we will all still watch and follow regardless.
Excellent video as usual! Slow down on characters is always nice and helpful as a painting guide... For the Stormcast Eternals I'd like to see OSL and Lighting Effects with all those fires or how to get those vibrant blues for their robes and capes... For the Skaven I'd like to see how to get those unique greens for those warpstones and toxic fluids...
I don't have any Skaven, but I DO have a large contigent of Ratmen from Massive Darkness that I have been reluctant to start working on because there's so much detail to work on, on each individual miniature! Since I picked up a set of speedpaints, I've been wondering how I'd apply them to that contingent and your video looks like a great place to start! Thank you!
This is really cool! Next, I would love to see some really high contrast Stormcasts from Skaventide with the flames done in something like a cool mystic green with a potent OSL effect
I've love to see an Artis Opus approach to a mini diorama. Skaventide is super flavourful and it has so many great poses that play against each other. A small dio with 3 on each side and maybe some combination of the last few techniques posted would be great. Like 3 retributors with the villainy ink stuff on one side and some clan rats on the other side. Loving the latest few things you've shown off, getting me excited to work on my faster projects and not get bogged down too much in my display work!
Would love to see your style on things like effects. Seeing cool warp, lightning for stormcast or just general magic/jazzy stuff to make them pop. Your style/speed at this will make a an army look *chefs kiss* Love the video :D
I would love a video with the vibe: "How would I teach myself to paint now" - Yourself from the past has the tools and materials of today and you from the present have the ability to teach yourself painting and recommend how to train and so on. BTW: I love your videos and the comprehensiveness of your explanations, even as complete beginer I was able to lear a lot from your videos!
Thanks you buddy, I love your idea! This is going to take some proper thought... but consider it percolating in my grey matter. Thanks again for the kind words, we are here to help!
hey man, i saw you at the spielemesse in essen, germany like 6 months ago and we gave each other the manly nod from afar lol. just wanted you to know how much i appreciat your channel, your tutorials, and how much it helped me progress in the hobby. thank you!
I think a cool vid might be on "project management" on a mass paint i.e. prep, the balancing act between how many models to do a single paint stage on and getting smaller amounts completed, how to actually plan what's happening to what and when, prototype minis, etc.
This is a fantastic suggestion, and something I feel particularly strongly is very useful, and not widely discussed. Any suggestions oh how you think we could frame it to make it enticing? I think stuff on these subjects doesn't get clicked because it's neither sexy or 'HOW TO PAINT NICE BLUE' type content. Great input, thanks buddy!
Hmmm, I guess your clickbaity way in could be about "breaking down your obstacles", "make that batch build work for you" or what have you. Make it about a formula that makes it harder to get in your own way.
Please paint up the new rat ogre models from Skaventide with various skin tones utilizing Citadel Contrast paints. Please put special emphasis on the parts of the models that have skin that is damaged, stressed and stitched like where Warpstone pieces have been forced into the beasties, their maws and claws too. Thanks! :D
I think the way you do metal would look amazing on the big cannon and the warpstone bits glow would look good the way you painted the piece of wall recently. Anyway love your work, your store and products you produce. Keep on keeping on🫶
Id love to see more videos where you focus on what small, manageable steps can be made to make contrast 'pop'. This could be over a few different styles - the GW bright minis, something a bit more dark and gritty - happy for that to be either faction (and would be very interested to see this done with metallics too)- but I think its a fantastic skill to help people adopt.
We've had enough requests for some slower, non-contrast videos that we've taken them onboard, I'm recording a very fancy clanrat currently, who should be an antidote to this guy :). I do love the characters in the box, if I can squeeze some time after being away next week I'll pick my fav!
I would love to see a speedy spearhead painting video! Especially interested in Seraphon or Skaven! Thanks for putting out such good and beginner friendly content!
Think in terms of suggestions, how to get the real finishing touches done on the Skaven. So warpstone and glow, sore patches around stitching, freehand banner/shield icons etc. taking them up a notch to really sell the force 👍🏻
100% man. We have a fair amount recorded and in edit, but this is something that editor Ian and I have discussed specifically already, whether individual videos or combined
@@ArtisOpus that’s great to hear. You could almost do it as a modular system/playlist as you move from basics as you’ve done here, to basing and then the extra bells & whistles, maybe around the Skaventide box and get a community ride along going each set period. There’s enough variation in the box (including scenery!) to really make that delicious content I reckon. Look forward to seeing it all come through 👍🏻
Skaven have always been some of the most characterful of GW models. Maybe a video on quick conversations or painting techniques to give uniqueness/personalisation to horde minis could be fun?
I would love to see how you paint the Clawlord on Gnaw-beast. With a focus on the beast itself. The extra detail and texture you can add with the artist Opus brush system and the face/details of the mounted character. It’s the only piece I’m nervous about painting 😬
3 years ago your videos really helped me get the Dominion Stormcast done! I'm hopeful for something similar this time! Maybe a video on how to paint the Stormcast leaders with some glowing effects for their weapons and flames?
content suggestion: the Scaventide box has two 'competing' mounted heroes. A head to head around the differences in how you would approach & paint each to make them most suit their faction would be awesome. eg The rat you just painted had a real fast but quality feel to it which could be extended to hordes of rats. How would the hero be painted using the same priciples to fit with the larger army. cheers!
This is a fantastic suggestion, I've actually just started recording a somewhat similar theme... but it's on the ame mini (more stages: more fancy + slower). Your format is a lot more fun though!
I'd love to see some tips for the not so straight metallic Stormcast, the Teal Celestial Vindicators, the Maroon Celestial Warbringers and the scortched black Anvils of Heldenhammer.
I would like to the different ways to paint the various clans as well as some different colors for stormcast. Maybe how to do a hue on the metallic to get the purses and blues of various vaults
I would love to see some breakdowns for different skin/fur tones, different clothing armor for the main skaven factions, so really cool weathering rust grime type stuff, and different ways to paint warpstone would be cool too!
My LGS is finishing up a quick Spearhead league, then moving on to a Path of Glory league. Spearhead is great, I know I'm going to be buying more armies for it.
Awesome video! As someone who will be new to Skaven with this release, I would love to see how you go about some of the different clans color schemes in your style please!
I think a nice slow video on the claw-lord on gnaw beast would be awesome! as making that gnaw beast look real nasty and decaying would be really cool to pair with the vibrant armor of the claw-lord, always nice to have an awesome looking leader model
Great video as always. I’d like to see an action scene almost where a Skaven has attacked and killed a stormcast. Some how incorporate a Stormcast body into the base with a Skaven standing over him.
I want you to kit bash the rat stick (measuring tool) onto the Grey Seer so he becomes the the almighty ruler of the battlefield. Make that stick as ornate as a cathedral centerpiece with golden rats and maybe wrap it with some little gold chains or something.
I'd love to see you explore Pro Acryl transparent range a bit, we picked them up from Element at UKGE and loving them so far but always looking for more tips and tricks ❤️
Good shout. There's plenty of paints that don't fall into base/layer categories with very little information on what their primary use is. Although may I suggest trying transparents over a silver/gold base. You'll get a candy finish then.
@@ArtisOpus oh I think you'd like them, used with the glaze medium or newsh. I used them recently on some bubbles I was struggling to get right and they did the trick
Great little video! With skaventide - and therefor warpstone - coming up some crystals and osl effects on and from the warpstones would not go amiss :)
I would really like to see your take on stormcast that isn't just the standard gold/silver, especially with how good things like the reclusians and the new lord look! Also, quick effective basing ideas to compliment these schemes would be perfect!
I’ve just got back into the hobby, pulled the trigger and bought some CSM, doing black legion and would love to see you paint some 👌🏻 love the vids keep them up
I'd love to see Artis Opus do a week (or short series) of videos using texture pastes/or effects paints and conversions, as something outside "the traditional painting wheelhouse."
Not necessarily linked to the skaventide box, but something I’d like to see more of at some point is some more in depth look in regards to creating a colour pallet for a mini (not necessarily just an army) and some of the decisions that go into a well thought out piece. So things like -composition across the miniature -biasing colours to be warmer or cooler depending on other colours on the miniature (I think this comes up a lot for blacks, whites and metallics) -how that might affect your basing colours to contrast or compliment. That sort of thing. So probably more applicable to characters or display pieces?
Spearhead seems exciting if not a little dangerous. All of the AOS minis are beautiful and I can see falling into a trap where my brains like "It's not a full army, just the tip" and 6 months in the future I have a half dozen spearhead boxes.
@@ArtisOpus That's how we ended up with 23 Underworlds warbands! "It's just a handful of naked dwarfs, nto a full army, why shouldn't we paint them..."
I'd like to see you paint the stormcast as a few different stormhosts like you did for dominion but hit some of the stormhost you didn't get last time.
Ok, well after my "why is everybody in such a rush" comment, I feel thoroughly humbled; quick results but still felt fun and chill (even taking the weather into account). I particularly enjoyed the hair/fur, teeth and claws, could you show us how you approach those on a character model please? 🙏 PS the contamination/'get on with your day' bit was actually something of a huge unlock for me - thanks! 😊🌞
Welcome to the crowd of nerds who can finish projects now, it's a special thing to unburden and crack on! :) Like a Skaven details vid? We always have to think about how to frame stuff enticingly, to attract the biggest crowd, it's tricky! Regarding your second comment... our entire channel started telling people to not forget the normal rules of painting, just because they're holding a drybrush, so don't kick yourself too hard ;)
I really love using contrast paints as it really speeds up my painting. But I always ends up enhancing it with some regular paint. Mostly highligts. One thing I struggle with is finding good colours to enhance the highlights of the different contrast paints. A guide on that would be awesome for your next vid. Like these 2 red colours will be good colours to highlight flesh terers red.
Awesome video, much appreciated and I look forward to giving something similar a go when this drops. At the beginning you said the clanrat was doombull brown but then primed grey seer. Was the doombull all over prior to the grey seer? I'm intrigued as to how you did that and the rationale please if you have time :) Thanks again, Nick
Ratastic video! Would really like to see a Skaven warmachine done in this style. I have had a lot of trouble getting my old wood to look right and would love to see your take on those fantastic models. More more Doomwheel or Warp Lightning Cannon??
Cheers buddy! We have built one but ran out of time before going away for a week, time permitting we might cover how the assembly and converting went :)
I want to see you walk around town interviewing randos about dry brushing without ever breaking eye contact. Oh, and you have to explain it without mentioning miniatures or the wargaming hobby. Good luck!
I would love to see a new take on the STORMCAST. Maybe a more Rough and Ready army scheme. Weathered armor perhaps, since they are in the field fighting SKAVEN. I am sure they are getting down and dirty on the battlefield.
This was way better than I‘d like to admit and I‘m now repriming my traitor guard to use the techniques in this video, oh well. Have you done a Red Corsair yet? I have a bunch I want to do and could use some ideas…
Love the video! I’m looking to paint the warlock engineer as a mad scientist with a white coat, black gloves and goldfish copper metallics, do you think you could show how to achieve that sort of scheme?
With Skaven it would be easy to fall into a pattern of brown fur that would make each individual look underwhelming when viewed as a unit. What are some easy formulas for different fur so we can help our Skaven stand out?
Amazing - best efficient Clan Rat I’ve seen. 5-star tips. What Contrast purples would you use if I wanted that instead of red? Would love to see the slow down Contrast approach on key models. And yah SCE too 😀
I like to mix Griff hound orange with guilliman flesh to give a more oldhammer Skaven skin tone. Spearhead content: yes please! A Spearhead diary where you show how long it takes a normal person to build and paint a Spearhead would be useful.
I know a lot of people like the pink kind of naked hairless looking rat because it looks a bit more frightening, but I prefer the dull mouse light brown look better for the battle boards. It gives a bit more contrast and true 'Rat' feel when a horde of these is coming at your army.
Can you do one on coloured stormcast metallics, maybe one of each stormhost I paint cellestial vindicators and need to know how to get contrast in the metallic blue armour - Thanks Byron
You've been selling out of frostgrave stuff over at element for the last month and a bit now (I just want the solider II set, a cloth mat and some baddies/gribblies ;_;), could we get a video on how to do some smaller 28mm scale minis. I know its not warhammer but with how popular they are atm a guide on them would be nice.
Small, older minis, too. Maybe that could be a general video... I've already passed this info on btw, with frostgrave being mini agnostic it'd just alter the gaming aids and books, but we'll look at stocking them a little deeper to make sure we don't run out, thanks :)
Paint list: Flesh tearers red, Baal red, snakebite, guilliman flesh, black templar, VGA silver, nuln oil, sepia, skeleton horde, athonian camoshade
Doing God's work for us!
Thank you

@@ArtisOpus can't wait
I'd love to see you explore Pro Acryl transparent range a bit, we picked them up from Element at UKGE and loving them so far but always looking for more tips and tricks ❤️
Good shout. There's plenty of paints that don't fall into base/layer categories with very little information on what their primary use is. Although may I suggest trying transparents over a silver/gold base. You'll get a candy finish then.
Still yet to use them here, which is strange considering how often their white and ivory get used on the channel!
@@ArtisOpus oh I think you'd like them, used with the glaze medium or newsh. I used them recently on some bubbles I was struggling to get right and they did the trick
Great little video! With skaventide - and therefor warpstone - coming up some crystals and osl effects on and from the warpstones would not go amiss :)
Would like to see grey seer with maybe some cool warpstone glow effects
Check our premier in 45 minutes 😎
that baal red + guilliman flesh mix is the best, im going to try that for my repentia. especially the baal red on the bloodpoints. its really good
Enjoy! 🙏
I would really like to see your take on stormcast that isn't just the standard gold/silver, especially with how good things like the reclusians and the new lord look!
Also, quick effective basing ideas to compliment these schemes would be perfect!
Waow, excellent video, a lot of great advices. Thanks !
I would love to see your take on that green Skaven glow and maybe OSL? Don’t mind which model, just as long as it has lots of green!
Cant wait for the new skaven
They're very good buddy, absolutely tip top!
Haha ofc skaven are the best best
I’ve just got back into the hobby, pulled the trigger and bought some CSM, doing black legion and would love to see you paint some 👌🏻 love the vids keep them up
I request some epic warpstone recipes with maybe a bit of OSL 😜
I feel like this might be a popular request! :)
@@ArtisOpus I was going to make the same comment
Please can you make a video if painting the Ratling Warpblaster please?
We've got some skaven metallics up on the channel which might be useful!
Would love to see you do a tutorial on painting character models up to a display level using all the techniques you've shown us on the channel
From Skaventide buddy, or just generally?
Skaventide being the more relevant thing would make more sense but I'll leave that up to you
I'd love to see Artis Opus do a week (or short series) of videos using texture pastes/or effects paints and conversions, as something outside "the traditional painting wheelhouse."
Would love to see a batch painting approach to stormcast personally with metallics added in there
You might want to keep your eyes peeled mid next week ;)
Thank you for the video. It will ve my scheme for skaventide!
Incredible! Enjoy :) 🐀🐀🐀
Would love to see some bronze or copper TMM armor on stormcast. All you can find is the NMM variant or your regular gold or silver armor.
We've got something *nearly* this coming next week, but copper would look fantastic in particular... it's hard to achieve, I'll have a think!
@@ArtisOpus so nice to hear that, i've been struggling with a copper armor for my deathwing knights with so many test models
Not necessarily linked to the skaventide box, but something I’d like to see more of at some point is some more in depth look in regards to creating a colour pallet for a mini (not necessarily just an army) and some of the decisions that go into a well thought out piece. So things like
-composition across the miniature
-biasing colours to be warmer or cooler depending on other colours on the miniature (I think this comes up a lot for blacks, whites and metallics)
-how that might affect your basing colours to contrast or compliment.
That sort of thing. So probably more applicable to characters or display pieces?
I'd absolutely love to see some blends/schemes on the flaming wings on the new stormcast flying chaps!
Spearhead seems exciting if not a little dangerous. All of the AOS minis are beautiful and I can see falling into a trap where my brains like "It's not a full army, just the tip" and 6 months in the future I have a half dozen spearhead boxes.
😅😅😅. But if they're all painted how glorious could it be?!
@@ArtisOpus That's how we ended up with 23 Underworlds warbands! "It's just a handful of naked dwarfs, nto a full army, why shouldn't we paint them..."
Would be cool to see a craftworldstudios inspired speedpaint approach for the stormcast
I love their colours! I'd have to do some learning but would love to try and hack their colours at speed...
I would love to see you go through a stormcast that is using a non metallic plate color but with a metallic trim.
Now do that 79 more times.
I'd like to see you paint the stormcast as a few different stormhosts like you did for dominion but hit some of the stormhost you didn't get last time.
Ok, well after my "why is everybody in such a rush" comment, I feel thoroughly humbled; quick results but still felt fun and chill (even taking the weather into account).
I particularly enjoyed the hair/fur, teeth and claws, could you show us how you approach those on a character model please? 🙏
PS the contamination/'get on with your day' bit was actually something of a huge unlock for me - thanks! 😊🌞
Also the black under silver/metallic trick ❤ - I know that from aircraft scale modelling, how had I not thought to apply it to minis?! D'oh 🤦♀️
Welcome to the crowd of nerds who can finish projects now, it's a special thing to unburden and crack on! :)
Like a Skaven details vid? We always have to think about how to frame stuff enticingly, to attract the biggest crowd, it's tricky!
Regarding your second comment... our entire channel started telling people to not forget the normal rules of painting, just because they're holding a drybrush, so don't kick yourself too hard ;)
@@ArtisOpus thanks 😊 Skaven details vid would be awesome (if that's likely to entice enough eyes, of course) 🙏
I really love using contrast paints as it really speeds up my painting.
But I always ends up enhancing it with some regular paint. Mostly highligts.
One thing I struggle with is finding good colours to enhance the highlights of the different contrast paints.
A guide on that would be awesome for your next vid.
Like these 2 red colours will be good colours to highlight flesh terers red.
Awesome video, much appreciated and I look forward to giving something similar a go when this drops. At the beginning you said the clanrat was doombull brown but then primed grey seer. Was the doombull all over prior to the grey seer? I'm intrigued as to how you did that and the rationale please if you have time :) Thanks again, Nick
Ratastic video! Would really like to see a Skaven warmachine done in this style. I have had a lot of trouble getting my old wood to look right and would love to see your take on those fantastic models. More more
Doomwheel or Warp Lightning Cannon??
Great tutorial, lots of helpful tips in here thanks! Paint Paint Skaven Yes Yes.
Would also love to see some Spearhead.
Cheers buddy! We have built one but ran out of time before going away for a week, time permitting we might cover how the assembly and converting went :)
Would love at some point to see a how-to on colored metallics for Stormcast, for Celestial Vindicators or Astral Templars or the like.
I want to see you walk around town interviewing randos about dry brushing without ever breaking eye contact. Oh, and you have to explain it without mentioning miniatures or the wargaming hobby. Good luck!
HAAAA! This one got a belly laugh out
As a former resident of Manchester, I have concerns...
@@jamfjord do explain
I would like to see a paintvideo for the winged stormcast models with some flame effect on the wings. Like they come down with a gods wrath.
I'd love to see an explanation on how to do different colours of fur
Definitely would love to see some Spearhead stuff!
I would love to see a new take on the STORMCAST.
Maybe a more Rough and Ready army scheme. Weathered armor perhaps, since they are in the field fighting SKAVEN.
I am sure they are getting down and dirty on the battlefield.
Keep your eyes peeled buddy, you might not have a long wait 😉
@@ArtisOpus Wwwooooooot!!!
This was way better than I‘d like to admit and I‘m now repriming my traitor guard to use the techniques in this video, oh well.
Have you done a Red Corsair yet? I have a bunch I want to do and could use some ideas…
Amazing! I think you'll surprise yourself :). We haven't, I wonder if they'd be popular
Would be nice to see some warp stone painting and diferent types of rust on armours.
Love your work. Thanks 🙏
Thanks, buddy!
I would love to see a slow in-depth video on the Grey Seer from the new box.
Lovely mini, isn't it? Did you see Rich Gray's? 🤤
Love the video! I’m looking to paint the warlock engineer as a mad scientist with a white coat, black gloves and goldfish copper metallics, do you think you could show how to achieve that sort of scheme?
With Skaven it would be easy to fall into a pattern of brown fur that would make each individual look underwhelming when viewed as a unit. What are some easy formulas for different fur so we can help our Skaven stand out?
Do you have a speed/contrast paint Fyreslayers tutorial?
Amazing - best efficient Clan Rat I’ve seen. 5-star tips. What Contrast purples would you use if I wanted that instead of red? Would love to see the slow down Contrast approach on key models. And yah SCE too 😀
I'm not good in painting models with heavy metal armor. would like to see how to paint the stormcast eternals in an easy beginner friendly way
Great video once again 👍👍
Cheers, buddy!
excellent work byron!
Cheers, buddy!
I like to mix Griff hound orange with guilliman flesh to give a more oldhammer Skaven skin tone.
Spearhead content: yes please! A Spearhead diary where you show how long it takes a normal person to build and paint a Spearhead would be useful.
I would like to see a mixture of using contrast and acrylic to give the best effects we can!
Especially on the characters!
It would be good to see how to do characters that look better but still fit in with the batch painted models, especially one with glowing warpstone
Paint tutorials for the mounted heroes in Skaventide would be awesome!
I know a lot of people like the pink kind of naked hairless looking rat because it looks a bit more frightening, but I prefer the dull mouse light brown look better for the battle boards. It gives a bit more contrast and true 'Rat' feel when a horde of these is coming at your army.
Can you do one on coloured stormcast metallics, maybe one of each stormhost
I paint cellestial vindicators and need to know how to get contrast in the metallic blue armour - Thanks Byron
You've been selling out of frostgrave stuff over at element for the last month and a bit now (I just want the solider II set, a cloth mat and some baddies/gribblies ;_;), could we get a video on how to do some smaller 28mm scale minis. I know its not warhammer but with how popular they are atm a guide on them would be nice.
Small, older minis, too. Maybe that could be a general video... I've already passed this info on btw, with frostgrave being mini agnostic it'd just alter the gaming aids and books, but we'll look at stocking them a little deeper to make sure we don't run out, thanks :)
Can you make a guide how to paint Mythic Battle Pantheon ?🙂
