You just use iso with the sprues from the minis*
Much prefer videos like this over the speed paint/gimmicky videos the algorithm wants. I like to just see a dude having fun, painting his minis. Keep up the great work, love your videos, man!
Agreed!
100%
I think the people speed painting are having fun too.
@@KrisTomich Yeah. But that's not really what we are talking about now, is it?
"Savagely ridiculed by all the other warhammerers" very true!!
I'm painting minis for 15 years now and I played exactly 4 matches.
Classic miniature artist.
I'm the same way. And even though I paint 100 times more than I play, I'm still not interested in painting stuff I don't have a gaming purpose for. Can't make sense out of it, but I'm happy.
@chadkittleson5447 I'm the same, been doing it 8 years and unless it was part of the same army etc I wouldn't bother. Finally started playing in the past year and yeah that made life easier
@@chadkittleson5447completely agree, I cannot find value in painting something that can't be put into the game. I play so few games I'm concerned about a non recognisable model being rejected by my theoretical opponent. Bad mindset, especially for practice/improvement, but sadly here I am.
That is the entire problem with the hobby.
John, please keep this up! MANY of my favourite content creator mini painters seem like they aren't even painting minis anymore. I just wanna watch someone with sick skills paint a mini from start to finish. Please keep it up! Especially the colour palette box style video!!!!
Always a nice day when a Ninjon vid drops.
Regarding always going one step brighter with highlights: One thing I always try to keep in mind is that my painting lights are WAY brighter than display/tabletop lights. So often what might look almost over the top under the painting lights really won't pop nearly as much under tabletop lights. When in doubt, I'll step away from the painting table and let my eyes adjust to normal lighting and then take another look at the model to see how I feel about the highlights.
Great point, and good tip. I often can be found, seemingly looking lovingly into the eyes of my current mini in every room of the house.
@@cfnfl What do you mean "seemingly"??? 😂🤣😂
Paint more skaven in videos until they are all done. Then release a painting skaven movie. The spiffing Brit tells us this is the best way to beat the algorithm
The part of the process I keep finding myself stuck at is how to choose the undertone/shadow color for any project. I never would have thought to use such a vibrant red.
You can get books on colour theory and there are tools online that generate complementary colours etc. hope that helps
@@carlstanford7607 that actually does help, a ton. Thank you! So at its most basic, I should be looking towards the complimentary color of my mid tone for my shadows/base color?
@@dennisruddy237 it all depends on the vibe you're out to achieve. Color theory isn't a set of rules, just a tool to find an end product you're going for. But don't worry about color theory too much, just focus on what looks good
@@dennisruddy237 You can use a general rule of thumb as a starting point for a number of different painting styles. Complementary colors create the most contrast possible using just the colors themselves (others include different varnish finishes, different saturation values like a nice vibrant blue vs a pale blue, etc.) and I wouldn't use them as the shadow to the mid tone unless I wanted something like a synthwave color scheme, or to go for something kinda like OSL to tie stuff together. My advice for something simple and basic is a darker version of the mid tone. Navy blue into ultramarine blue into a sky/powder blue for the highlight for example. Another example would be brown into orange into yellow. These are called monochromatic colors I think. Ninjon has this cool video where he paints one of those 40k space dwarves, whatever they're called, using a different artists' style and you'll see something similar to this skaven where the upper layers are a variety of colors that feel like 'normal' painting but literally all the shadows are some shade of blue/purple/magenta.. it gives an almost OSL like feel, like with this skaven, where it sort of unites the colors on the mini and would do the same across the entire army. Like the other guys said, color theory is great but it isn't a manual on what you should be doing.. especially since there's also a number of different types of complementary styles like split compliments or triads - I use color theory for inspiration or as a tool when I'm trying to achieve something specific.
Loving the longer shots of this episode! It's super enlightening to just watch the process and brushwork.
Spearhead truly is a painters blesseing. This is by far the best army painting ive seen, from you, so far. Really feels like every model gets the attention it deserves this way and itll be such an accomplishment when its fully done. Fuck the algorithm this is great. I'd love more videos like this
As a person who enjoys the hobby part and the playing part of miniature games, skirmish and small scale games are such a blessing. Being able to just kick back and spend time making those 15 models look absolutely the best I can, but still knowing I get to play with a fully painted force at the end of it is such a great thing.
@@Matt-jp6if exactly!
man the warpstone contrast, was like bam.. done. loved it. love skaven. Good job! looks awesome
Comment for the mighty algorithm
For the algorithm
All hail
I'm starting a Cities of Sigmar and I'm taking a lot from your journey with your spearhead. Doing a test model for color and process, thinking about composition of my basing and taking my time to give each piece the attention it needs to really shine on the battlefield have all been amazing tips! Thank you! I can't wait to see your Grey Seer painted!
When assembling push-fit, scrape the side of the peg to flatten the circular edge. This provides a channel for air (and glue) to escape while keeping the peg for support and alignment.
This paintjob is absolutely amazing. Simple steps that add up to an outstanding result.
Really enjoying the slower take on painting up the army. Please keep it up with the skaven painting. Would love to see your full take on that half of the box
I prefer these high quality paint jobs to the speedpainting in x many hours/days, feels like more creators are moving to the latter, thanks for this and fantastic job on this overall.
Wow . This is exactly the kind of video I have been hoping to find. I will be watching and re-watching all videos like this many times over the next few months. Thank you!
At first I was like What? Vibrant red undertones? But it works. It works a treat. I love your style and this model turned out especially gorgeous.
That look so awesome! It is such a natural feel to have the red undercoat with the fur and it looks just right! Great great job.
I just love the army building and painting!!! Another beautiful paint job 😊😊😊
Have to say agree with just watching you paint amazingly is so great , and it is way more inspiring and with what you do it allows for the viewer to see what they like and use it as you do quite a lot of different techniques in very practical ways .
I'm not really interested in Skaven but I absolutely love watching your process of starting with rich colourful shadows and working up from there. Your balance between discussion and just letting us watch you paint is perfect. This is flat-out the best style of minipainting tutorial video on youtube and you're the master of them. Your videos are always slick, educational and entertaining, and inspire me to try new things.
I like the idea you had in a recent TUP episode where you talked about painting a mini you'd been putting off until you were better.
Idea for next video: The latest Battletech kickstarter has begun arriving for backers. It's something different than you usually do, it's at a different scale. A video on depicting the size of a five story robot at 6mm scale would be great.
Sounds like it's time to show how you take a simple army paint job to a top tier level and still keep it in line with the army with a Gray Seer or a Clawlord
As someone who plays on average, 2 games of aos a week, and plays warcry and underworlds somewhat regularly as well, I always find it fascinating the amount of people in this hobby that don't play much.
watching this while painting my spearhead is perfect
Very well done, that's got to be the best Rat Ogre paint job I've seen yet.
Loved this, can't wait to see the completed clan.
The Rats are lookin' good, Jon. I'm loving this series.
Don't know what miniatures to paint for your next video? That's easy, paint more Skaven until there are none left in the sewers! Yes-yes!
Great to see some of these techniques coming together!
You should paint the Grey Seer next! Show us how magical these rats are
Awesome video! I look forward to your videos every week and you're my favorite channel on UA-cam! Keep up the fantastic content, and thank you for helping me keep motivated and improve my painting every week!
Watching your videos really helps me keep up momentum on my giant Tyranids army.
I could watch skaven painting videos all day long. And yours all night long.
Commenting for Lord Algo, elder god of engagement, ALL HAIL ITS BENEVOLENT WISDOM, MAY IT EVER SMILE UPON US
I am really grateful you are doing this series of videos
Looks awesome, love the detail explained for the methods used.
As a Skaven vet I kinda love the pink rats vs my leathery rats
Dude its AMAZING to see how your style and skill have progressed over the last couple years - your process has really become a "system" and watching the model transform in these videos is incredible
Very nice! Thanks Ninjon!
Looks so good. Nice job man!
Love this painting video more then the speedpainting ones! Great job👍
I am always excited when another Ninjon video drops!
Boo to the algorithm 😂 - more of this please. It's helping get my motivation back to painting. Thanks!
Great stuff man 👍👍
Always love how you show the process to get through the "Ugly" steps to get to the finished model. Looks amazing again Jon! My vote for your next painting project should be something from a small/lesser known model company that you picked up and has been gathering dust in your pile of shame. I've always enjoyed those videos more than another Warhammer thing.
Please, never change your intro
man this is great work
You are quite simply, a Genius.
Nicely done matey
Thanks for this man, I've pre-ordered my box and I was a bit worried that I was lacking a strategy for paint scheme.
This has given me a good leg up, and I'm still using your smash chop for the leviathan box I bought to practice on.
Amazing job!
As a skaven fan it still doesn't feel real that we have rat ogres that don't look awful 😊
Thanks Ninjon.
Im glad youre going for the more sustainable approach and as you said not chasing the speed painting as much. Always a pleasure to watch
This and the last skaven video has really inspired me to put in that extra work in my next army.
I usually try to paint up my minis as fast and efficient as possible, which is not a Very enjoyable experience, nor am i proud of my work.
That skirt wetblend was beautiful
Dude that model looked awesome!
Thanks for the Milanote stuff, will try to use to get all my proyects together. Because right now i have a fuck ton of them and i could use some order since my book with the notes is all over the place right now.
I hope the Vince v. Ninjon beef continues. Go Vince!
I would love to see you paint some of the catalyst battletech miniatures.
Gotta say I really appreciate the simplicity and yet detailed paint guide. I know, for example, you could have done what so many UA-camrs do and paint the metal all in NMM. But I just can’t do it. It always looks shocking. But your guide helps me to paint in a way that is my ability and my models look good afterwards. Thanks! 👍👍 (entertaining too 😂)
loving this series john!
I've got my solution for paint on mud, its a 250 ml thing of Daler Rowney simply acrylic matt medium, and then coarse texture medium by liquitex basics acrylics that's another 250 ml. This stuff goes far, I've based my Morkanaut, I've based a ton of other stuff, I've used the matt medium on a painting and liberally, and I've used it all for texture effects.
Give this two part combo a try.
First paint on your goopy coarse texture medium, this will give it a sandy look, which hey, you might dig. I needed it to be just a bit more damp and lose some of the crisp grain look, so with some gooped on matt medium, bam. I've got my favorite (so far) paint on application for a texture effect. With a two part solution I can tune some parts to look more gritty, and have more fine grains, and where I want a more glumped up mud? Just more gooped on matt medium. You can even sort of sculpt with the Coarse Texture, I used it to gap fill, and apply spittle, to a bomb squig that the mouth didn't quite meet the seem for the body. Same with matt medium, if you painted something with a primer, and want to do a quick fix, matt medium can gap fill for you pretty well.
Would love to see you finish the whole box I. The next few videos
Please continue this skaven army! This videos are awesome! :D
Love your paint Style. Not making one speed paint video after another, but showing something new and interesting most of the time! ❤
I really loved this video, as I love all your content tbh, but focusing on each model is great, and it's nice in the sea of speedpainting or display/competition painting videos to see a video which is just... paint your models well for your army as a labour of love. Though I will say you have a wonderful knack of very simply explaining a basic concept and executing it effortlessly then I look down at my dumb stupid hands and am unable to recreate but hey I'll get there. I'm a better painter now then when I watched your first video!
I can’t wait to see your take on the ratling gun
Great video! This is so helpful to my next step of painting my new add on to my rattos
I got into the hobby for the painting and modeling aspect. Just recently I wanted to try my hand at kill team and also looking into spearhead for my slaves to darkness
So I guess I'll check out LaCrosse Distilling Co. when I'm in LaCrosse next. Gorgeous part of the country, the whole Driftless region.
I legit just built all those models with out glue. Had just a couple gaps. Push fit is way better than what it was
I love these paint an army to a high quality video. I am doing the same thing with Daughters of Khaine for AOS right now getting ready for the new edition! I actually found a new way to highlight gold and will likely go back and add that into the other models.
I’m legit enjoying the music.
His vids are always good, good. The Great Horned One smiles upon you, manthing.
Painted my first mini last week!
Love the music in the episode today😊
I feel like I just joined the mini painting version of the 'I Hate Rachel Green' club @18:24. Sweet Rat though dude 🤟. I was expecting to see your Monument magenta glaze at work, but I love how this colored basecoat with layering style is really cementing for you. From the outside anyway. Have a great weekend!
Just when I was about to burst in panic on a quiet friday and nothing to watch. Yeee
Keep painting up the skavens !
How could you murder me right at the start of the video like this
I don’t think I’ve played a full Warhammer game in 2 years, but I DO paint daily! It’s always exciting to see the new models/model refreshes! Great video as usual Jon! ❤
This makes me want to paint!
Loving the Skaven inclusion, hoping to see some Seraphon in the future!
I’d love to see the warpblaster, mostly because it’s the model most different from those you’ve painted, and would be the most interesting to see your approach.
Never had a thing for Skaven, but I have to admit this rat ogre looks great.
My shoulder hurts.
Video idea: quick and dirty ways to modify the new Ork boyz kit so that if you build multiple kits, you don't end up with a bunch of clones.
Love a Dale appearance!
Another awesome paint job mate keep up the good work Love watching your videos
Mooore raaaaats!! I'm enjoying the release of the new edition way too much, and I think the real reason is this. A bunch of awesome painters and quite a few of my favorite artists and content creators sharing their takes on the box, their armies, etc.
Thanks for the video, the rat ogor looks amazing!
Loving the aos content! Can’t wait to get my box
Stromcast next?
Love this model
Loving the Skaven vids, planning on using yours as a base guide when my Skaventide box comes in. I would absolutely LOVE to see your take on the entire army. And if you are looking for something else to do I would love to also see your take on the Stormcasts, not necessarily the entire army, but a few units would be really nice!
Basically, I'm looking for a Skaventide guide lol.
more skaven! enjoy watching the army evolve and expand
I love watching these videos, they are so ASMR. And I get to learn to be a better painter ..win/ win.
This is very cool, the Karandras contrast paint really makes those warpstone chunks pop against the reddish skin.
Meat Meets, the ultimate form of grindr
