@@86diego86 thank you. I had 4 hours of painting footage, so that's a pretty accurate measure of time to taken. The advantage of the process shown in this video is it's intended to be used as a batch process. I do batches of 4 minis at a time. By the time I've added a colour to the 4th the 1st is dry and ready for the next step and so on

I really like the almost pastel look on the metal, I think it really sets it appart from another iterations of the army. Maybe you could do somethimg similar for an alpha legion tutorial someday?

@gammafighter 2 ай бұрын

Beautiful results and you explained the process very well. I wouldn't have minded seeing your assembly such as how you picked out the Grey Knights bits and how easily everything fit on the standard terminator armor. Makes me want to paint up some Grey Knights, but I'd rather wait until they update the official models. I don't quite have the budget to buy two boxes just to make one squad of Terminators! I'll definitely refer to this video though. That tinge of blue is absolutely brilliant.

@BrushstrokePaintingGuides 2 ай бұрын

Thank you. I totally get your point about the expense of using two kits to just make one squad, but if it’s any consolation, whenever I go to the trouble of doing kitbashes like this GW usually make it all useless by releasing an official kit the following month 🤣 I really hope they do, cos Grey Knights are such a great looking chapter and feature in loads of their video games etc In terms of the conversion, it was pretty straightforward. The body and legs are from the new termie kit and everything else is from the GK termie kit. Arms and pauldrons all fit fine without conversion. Hardest part was cutting off the chest detail off the GK kit, as it was pretty fragile. I used a dremel hand sander to do it. Then sanding off the chest Aquila on the new kit was pretty easy

Oh, you and your Darkstar paints. Scheme looks good though. Lovely paint job. I'll try it with Vallejo Premium Airbrush Paint. It's got a lovely metallic blue. I can mix it with Vallejo Metal Colour Silver. They both brush on lovely. Also Tyran Blue is a shade paint, not contrast.

@BrushstrokePaintingGuides 2 ай бұрын

Sorry man, they are just lovely metallics. If you’re struggling to get them where you are I’ll try and help. Certainly worth getting a bottle to see what you think when your next Vallejo runs out? and yeah, you’re spot on Tyran is a shade, silly me. Oh well, luckily it still did what I needed and got the result I wanted 👍 Thanks for watching man

@BlackHoleEye 2 ай бұрын

@@BrushstrokePaintingGuides No, that's fine. I can't really justify buying even more paint brands. But thanks for offering. I will recommend Vallejo Premium Airbrush paints to you though. They're very similar to Vallejo Metal Colour, in that they're quite thin, but brush on beautifully and have great coverage. They're polyurethane Paints. Which I suspect is also true of Vallejo Metal Colour. They have the same characteristic smell.

Hello, i´ve recently been watching your guides and learning a lot about painting minis since i´m going to paint one soon, but i haven´t seen you applying varnish on your finished minis, is there a reason behind it or just personal preference? Sorry for any grammatical errors and thank you for being a mentor in this field.

@BrushstrokePaintingGuides Ай бұрын

Hi 🙂 Welcome to the hobby. So, yes I do varnish my finished minis with a matte varnish to protect them and prevent paint from rubbing off when gaming. I don’t tend to show it though, as most people have their own preference to how they protect their minis. The products I like to use are Dullcote from Testors (but this is hard to find now) and ultra matte from AK. I do mention varnishing at the end of some videos where I’ve used weathering powders, as it’s important to seal them to stop them rubbing off. Hope that helps? Thanks for checking out my channel 👍
