Fantastic tutorial!!
I also loved that you kept the “mistakes” in, and showed how you corrected them - that’s a really important part of mini painting that is often mentioned but rarely seen.

[@xGamermonkeyx]

Agreed, it's a big part of why I like Sonic Sledgehammer so much as well.

[@odinulveson9101]

Dont disappear mr Camo Spec, you deserve more attention. I would LOVE tutorial for FRR, ClanGhostBear, Clan Ghost Bear Dominion/ Rasalhague Dominion paint schemes.
Im a very new painter and will not start out with specific units but have FRR/ RD loyal merc unit with blue + yellow and red colors. Since one or more of these are in any nordic countries flags. I will add FRR/CGB specified color stripe to show loyality like silver/ copper band

[@CamoSpecsOnline]

We haven't disappeared, just the handful of artists capable of making videos have all been occupied with other things. There will be more videos, hopefully in the near future. Also CGB is on the list of tutorials to make so hopefully sooner than later.

This was great! I was really skeptical about the purple but once the base was finished it took on more of a dark earth tone and the Jade Green was more grass like. Thanks for sharing this neat technique.

[@shawnarmitage7955]

God, guns, and Battletech. I've been using tamiya paddle liner. I'm just thinking that people who read the comments here. Might like to give that a try.

[@matthewedwards6025]

I love that you made a mistake but left that in the video! It shows that mistakes happen and they are (sometimes) easy to recover from.
Another thing you could have done was use the original dark brown in a wash to fill in the lowlights.

[@derekburge5294]

*Purple and jade,* my brain thought. *Surely not!*
But yeah, wow, that really works! You fine folks are sorcerers, and I will be alerting the church.
Thanks as ever for your amazing tutorials!

[@benparker2522]

Great video, and I enjoyed the booklets you guys did for Catalyst recently : )

[@CamoSpecsOnline]

Glad you like them!

[@TheElevenbit]

You make me wish to gather all my paints and brushes and paint one of my old miniatures. Love your work.

[@Grabacr]

Glad to see a new tutorial!! Very well done, thanks!

[@johntaylor8095]

Excellent video, just wanted to echo the other - I liked seeing the mostakes and how you dealt with them.

[@andrewfsheffield]

Great tutorial thanks!

[@lord17c]

great video. Love that you left in how to fix a mistake.

[@michaelball4940]

It's good to see mistakes being left in 😉 we all make them

[@ianclark3571]

Battletech based on Flat Earth CONFIRMED

[@RecklessFables]

The earth is hex!

[@chrisgibson6061]

​@RecklessFables it's a flat hex!

[@dubuyajay9964]

​@@chrisgibson6061Except the tables we play on are on top of a curved Earth.

[@jackl4349]

I'm here for the flat earth evidence and it's confirmed. Also the earth is hex shaped
