"I am not an artist" I actually had to pause in stupefied disbelief. You could not be more wrong, Jay! You make art! You use your perspectives and choices to bring things to the world that did not exist before. That's Art, baby! Nick too!

“Paint more minis” is absolutely the best piece of advice for beginners or old hands alike, the more you paint the better you get. If I could add one more piece of advice beyond what is in the video it is, don’t compare your work to what other people have painted as this can get discouraging. The only person you should compare yourself to is….you, compare your latest painting to things you’ve painted in the past and see the improvement over time.

Hey man, just wanted to let you know how much you have helped me recently. I was at hospital with a brain tumour and was waiting to be operated on. I was already operated in 2015 (2 x Awake surgeries, chemo & radiotherapy). I was told that this was definitely going to expand onto the cancer that they couldn’t get within 6 months, but luckily it didn’t. Not until a few recent MRI’s had shown that there was growth. I went in in the 28th November and woke up and couldn’t move my leg or arm and couldn’t speak properly and the next day I was told I had a stroke. I eventually was sent home 2 and a half weeks later (a week before Christmas Day). Anyways, I have always been such a lover for mini modelling, especially Warhammer 40,000! But I never got to pick up a set ever. You have such a great attitude and over the last few months you have expanded my knowledge from painting, bases and I have so much fun each day learning new tricks, tools and tips! From being an absolute noob with my first group of space marines, you give me hope through my chemotherapy to get away from the real world for a-bit. Thank you!

"I like a black primer, because it makes everything on the model completely dark" ... not shit, what a revelation. This changed my entire view on priming minis. Joking aside, great video with nice "step by step" inceases in difficulty for the different techniques used. Also: the witch and the jester look ridiculously good.

"Make my toys,how they look in my head" is literally how I paint after all this time! I still use the "colouring book" method however,it's so soothing for me.

Sir, I don't know what time it was for you when uploading this, but it was at 6am for me. Is everything okay in the EonsOfBattle headquarters?

Now this is 9 minutes of basically my own painting journey, although im currently not quite through all the steps, i can see thats leading there - and im glad this video exists now, bc i dont feel so isolated in my painting progress and im almost certain that it will serve this way for others too - wish you all the best everyone!

those figures are bonkers. the painting is also top notch

As always, super entertaining and crammed with practical advice. I picked up my first airbrush kit after watching for the past few weeks and deciding to give it ago with all the practical instruction in your videos. Awesome work!

I think these are some of your best paint jobs yet, great job as always.

This is your best video yet! At least for me, covers everything in less than 10mins so I can now get the full context on all the speed based ways to paint!

The jester turned out super sick

Awesome stuff! Especially the witch and the jester.

Gorgeous models, really loved what you said about lighting for that witch. It's making me really consider doing something similiar with lightning claws.

You always say you’re not an artist, but for how many years you’ve been doing this you’ve really become one, and a very respectable one at that. You’re a great painter

Love your enthusiasm jay always a pleasure to watch keep doing what you do👍🇬🇧

Those sculpts are super nice

You have gotten so much better with the OSL. Awesome stuff. Thanks for the tips.

Mr Eons back at it again with another Battle

This is really fun. I discovered that your videos are great. I am a genius for my discovery.

wow that last model is wild, i just love is, as always thankyou, your a great help and inspiration! im glad i got into 40k and found your channel

This is such a great intro to painting, showing each way to paint and how they all build off each other. Very very cool. I mean, you basically taught people 75% of how to do OSL in two minutes. Also, yay more awesome Lazy Squire Games minus, but this time STLs. I don't have a 3D printer, so I don't have to buy them, yay. . . . and will instead buy whatever one they do next. Still, models look wonderful, especially that jester.

That last mini was a flex. If you told me that Marco Frisoni painted it, I'd believe you

Awesome ! Clear, useful and with always this little touch of joyfulness. Thank you !

By far one of the better videos Jay! Much respect for your ever improving skill with Air brush Brush and colour work.

Very enjoyable! Paint eyes early so you do not wind up with be bug-eyed stare. If concerned about overspending the eyes, use a little museum tack over the eyes once they are dry. If using washes, use a smaller brush (tip) and less ink/paint to carefully flow around the eyes.

no Jay, my friend, you are an artist.

This was a great video., possibly my favourite of yours!

Man they look so good

Danm dude that's incredible

Fantastic video! Really good break down of building different techniques.

Some great tips for getting stuck in and painting with different techniques. Few things I certainly want to try here :)

You are an artist... Don't forget it

The third technique make me think about slap shot, only using contrast and makind the detail first

Thank you for uploading on my birthday Jay!

I love EOB

You are most definitely a Artist

This was a really good one. I have my judgement minis on the way and plan to do them in this style.

Very nice video!

I try not to use washes for detail except on metallics but only because I like to use the way they dry glossy relative to the more matte-finish paints as an effect like putting agrax(or equivalent homebrew), over intentionally badly-layered brown on a black base for full-grain leather or giving guns/tools a coat of nuln(or equivalent) to impart a mechanical sheen.

Awesome video man

YAY ANOTHER VIDEO

I haven’t watched this full video yet, but hey, thanks for all the great content man! I love your videos and have been watching for many years and hope for more, recently printed 3 squads of death lords infnatry and been taking my time. Enjoy my friend the fun of painting and enjoying what you’ve accomplished! 🇦🇺

Motivation to prime some minis before the weekend.

Great Video, really useful

This is so helpful 👍

Great video as always

Great vid ty

Christ bless you, this is really helpful thank you 😊

Wow, such a cool tutorial video, thaks! When highlighting the contrast/glaze layers, do you mix white with the contrast colour or do you use a similar acrylic tone and add white to it?

painting simpler minis is also a great way of practicing highlights and color transitions before moving on to more complex stuff. A mini with a lot of tiny details means a lot of extra opportunities to screw up, but a simpler mini is easier to fix and gives a bigger surface area to practice on. Take OSL for example, a simple town guard/ peasant carrying a torch leave few materials to focus the OSL on compared to the witch in this video. The simpler the mini the easier to attempt almost any technique on, and a well made simple mini can be just as beautiful as the jester in the video. At least that is my experience :)

I've got ten bucks...gimmie dat green sorceress!

Airbrush = skill . Got it 👍

When do you apply the Washes in the Zenithol method? Or do you just completely remove those steps? Also, what are your thoughts on the Slap Chop method which seems to be just dry brushing over the Zenithol > Highlight phase.

Great tutorial! Could you tell me what airbrush do you use? I have been thinking of getting one for myself.

Re: zenithal highlighting with a color other than white- would you use a red zenithal to do warm highlighting? I'm thinking about how to do the new Commander Dante model (and potentially new Sanguinary Guard) and would like to do a warm gold armor (possibly doing NMM over the zenithal if that's possible).

I am at stage 2 and haven't felt the desire to start highlighting everything yet. Maybe someday

Would this be considered slap chop? I recently got a board game with minis and was looking for this type of inspiration. I don’t paint anything like this, but I feel I could pull something like this off. Even if I were to do just the black prime, the highlight method and the base color, the figures would look nice.

Would love to know what your thoughts on the new boarding patrols are

Very inspiring but I’m only a few hours into my miniature painting journey and still at the point where I am figuring out which basic parts (base, shade, dry-brush highlight) to do what order coz I’ve seen a few big beginner videos that mix these steps in different ways.

Jay : "I'm not an artist" Me: "Well, I'm not painter then"

heyo! what airbrush needle size you recommend?

Where i can buy this mimic he looks vert cool

Iam always too scared to try highlights XD Also what paints are you using for your airbrush priming?

I only paint for DND it's cool.to see examples in the fantasy theme

"Everyone learnt to paint the same way" Me when I started to paint: LETS GOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! also me: God i did a cruddy job

Thank you so much for this vid, I have been doing stuff between the second and 3rd step for so long and been trying to figure out how to do better. How would you do a zen shade without an airbrush? I dm for a home dnd game and 3d print my own minis and haven't invested into an airbrush yet.

Unfortunately when I started in 3rd edition 40K I learned a drybrush heavy painting style. I'm now (after a many year break from painting) unlearning this and have moved on to zeni with speedpaint and washes. I haven't quite built up the confidence for the final highlight stage though.

6:20 Sure Cleef

What palette and paper is this?

Jay, do you paint miniatures everyday?

Anyone know which brush 2:56?

Serious question: Where or how to make the transparent colours?

I just straight up refuse to highlight my minis. I have fun doing the coloring book method and slapping some wash on it. I don't have the best looking minis, but that's how I enjoy painting. That to me is what makes the process worth it. Having fun and stopping when you aren't any more.

Love that tipsy demoness model, reminds me of my gf

I wanna be the very best, like no one ever was

Jay: "I know how you paint " Me: * who doesnt paint minis but draws digitally * - oh no ...that was supposed to be confidential -

That OSL on the sorceress is fuckin rough, idk where that went wrong but jeeze

Oof...can't think of a worse time to launch a 5E Kickstarter, lol. Ouch.

First

Speaking of 40k kill teams, where is the 1lb kill team? Still can't see it.

On the highlighting remark...you call it your favorite here, but in the custodes video, you mention you hate it and think it's a waste of time. Is there an inside joke I'm missing?

Pet peeve identified. Using "transparent" when you mean "translucent".

reflective stone floor.... stone isnt reflective...

“I am not an artist” ; also has a side hussle as a professional painter

Jay mate, ya can't have a ponytail and an apron and claim ya not an artist.

People need 3 skills to paint anything at hobby level no matter the hobby itself: Color theory application (for improving aesthetics), brush control (this goes beyond painting highlights), and paint behavior (so you guys finally graduate from overpriced acrylics).

Bait and switch on the thumbnail :( you owe us a Space Marine viodeo

STOP. S T O P. Stop. Stop everything. Please stop, just..stop. You are doing both yourself and everyone who watched this video and paints a disservice by stating that you are not an artist. First to pop up definiton: "a person who produces paintings or drawings as a profession or hobby" That's you, check. How about the second definition: "a person who practices any of the various creative arts" That is also you, check. For the checkmate, what is art: "the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture, producing works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power." CHECK MATE SIR, GOOD DAY. I SAID GOOD DAY SIR. You are an artist rather you like it or not, but you definitely owe it yourself to at least acknowledge that a little bit somewhere deep down inside. And all of us who will take your tips and practice applying them are creating art as artists as well.

I love your content, but two ads in one under 10 minute video is annoying bro

HOW dose he do this week after week. Makes other painters look boring and tedious.

You said 10 minutes. This video is 9:35. Unsubbed.

Where did you get that mimic and “tipsy” demon?
