Contrast paints separate out when sat, which is why they come out strange sometimes, get yourself a cheap vortex shaker to solve that, shake the hell out of them
The Nazdreg Yellow paint you were using is really yellow. It just has really dark brownish shadows and you used it in a fairly textured areas. But on flat surfaces like the rim of the base you can see it really is yellow.
Sitting commission painting listening to you waffle away lol. They all look great and everyone has a different paint style. Your painting has come on leaps n bounds since the start for sure. I use a combo of all painting oils, artist acryls, pro acryl, ak interactive, vallejo, speed paints contrast. just depends mini and commission. Try ak interactive ultra matt. its a great varnish and ties all the model together.. You can add gloss or satin to metallics after if wanted.
I liked slapchop at first but then decided I wanted more vibrant colors. I forced myself to learn the base, layer, highlight painting style and am much happier with the end results of my minis now. Definitely takes a bit longer though. I still use Speedpaint for leather and bone though. Those always look great.
Being a beginner. I really enjoy watching your videos. Just FYI if you do shorts. Your subscribers do NOT get notified when you do shorts. Something I found out a few months ago. Even if the notification bell is on. Hope that helps.
I use my own slapchop+. My tabletop ready level consist of: 1. black -> grey -> white but I paint parts or areas that should have brighter shadows completely grey or even white if I only want the speedpaint shadow effect. 2. Sometimes go in an drybrush a highlight color if I want to push it a bit further. 3. Sometimes step in an take care of details or make minor improvements if I don't like the result. I have realized that step 3 is probably the most important part to improve as a painter. * Learn how to fix things that you don't like and you will start to gain freedom. * Don't be afraid to touch up things, one extra highlight or shade can make all the difference in the world.
Very cool video , I have seen someone use strong tone from the dropper bottle with a mix of speed paint medium to create a nice was similar to the earthshade but drys a little nicer , I love those beast snagga orks I really need to build and paint mine
They all look great!! I only recently got into painting and your channel has been such a big help! So thanks a bunch :) Unfortunately I can’t get the colour forge primers anywhere here in Denmark, so I’m trying out different ones to find the best available :)
You keep me painting!!!!! I do enjoy the Army Painter speed paints myself. They are priced better. However like you said the Citadel range does have the more bright colors. So I’ve got a bit of them. For metallics I stick to Vallejo
Have you considered to trying to paint some AoS miniatures? For instance the new Flesh Eater Courts? I think the slap chop method would do wonders on those and I would love to see your take on it :) As for the long vs. shorts videos: I tend to struggle deciding what paints to use on my models, so seeing your long videos helps a lot. Cheers!
I had the same problem with my Nazdreg Yellow. I watched a video where someone used it and it was a beautiful yellow. Went on as the best, smoothest yellow I've ever seen. I bought it, and when it arrived it was a ruddy brown and dried super choppy. It definitely put me off wanting to use contrast paints ever again. Not worth the inconsistent quality in my opinion.
Any tips for a slapshop noob ? My white drybrush reactivate ( even after drying overnight ) when i use speepaint 2.0 . Other problem, Speedpaint seems to crack when it dries...
Grim Pop is from @DonSuratos funny you mentioned it lols. His type of painting is what I have been learning from. He has also moved to @TheArmyPainter speed paints as base for his work. Looks fantastic. Hope you check him out.

i really do like the longer videos. Shorts don´t really ring the bell
Cheers I will do longer ones and waffle more 🙂
I love the slap chop method. I use regular thinned acrylic paint!
a trick I learned from Miniacs channel was to use tamiya cement to remove some of the mold lines
Hello, definitely Slap Shop is my preferred.
I like your longer videos!
Cool as always.
Yup that's Nazdreg Yellow. It's a great yellow-brown. Iyanden Yellow is the more standard yellow color and is also really good.
showing everythign u use is amazing, thank you sir subed!
Slap-Chop for the win here as always LOL - Great job though!!
Try using the back of the blade to scrape mold lines; less risk of gouging your plastic and slipping with the sharp part aimed out.
Live the long form video. But I’d like to see a daily short of your quick observations to each of your models.
long form videos are great, but maybe do a short form even if you run a second channel with just shorts like a woodworking channel I watch did.

Better to white Prime then contrast then wash certain parts with darker contrast/wash colors and then highlight with regular color.

Working on Tyranids ,done 4 test colour miniatures and still can't decide what colour to do them, also working on a kenworth truck
I think the zenithal + strong tone one punches way above the time it took. Good job

Your slap chop method is my favourite. Have you or can you do a slap chop comparison between contrast paints and speed paints?
Great!
Cheers 🙂

I mostly use Contrast because it's in stock at my FLGS. The darker ones work nicely thinned with contrast medium.
My grim black always turns out very black after some strong tone and odorless mineral spirits hmm .

Great video! Do you have the file somewhere for that dry pallet you have for the army painter wet pallet?
