This shatterpoint series has been a lifesaver and I look forward to painting along with it!

@@Sorastro I just wanted to say that I finally got started painting after a long hiatus, starting with this tutorial - and I couldn't be happier with how they turned out. Thanks again for the great tutorials!

Excellent work Mark. I am surprised at just how effective the contrast paints can be when used properly. Really liking this series 😁

Thanks a lot buddy! I didn't do much different here compared to my Legion B1s tbh - I figured "if it ain't broke.."! 😁

Exactly! Very cool to see Spead Paint used in an effective way.

Skeleton Horde is the new Nuln Oil! B1 droids, Gandalf‘s robes, blonde hair, you name it. Everything is perfect with a single coat of Skeleton Horde! Great result, thank you for sharing!

Skeleton Horde was the first contrast paint I used and now I almost always use contrast paint

Totally! 😁

@@themidwesternboi9399 some of them are more difficult to use, but I also start off every paintjob with contrasts. If I feel like investing more time or having more fun, I might add to the first layer or even cover it completely with opaque paint. But the initial speed paint is such a great tool!

Instead of mixing colors for the blasters I used Ratling Grime and it looks good. Perhaps that color wasn't released yet at the time this video was made I think it's one of the colors added recently to the range.

Thanks for the tip, buddy! I confess I've not kept up with their releases, but I think I'll have to check that one out.. 😀

I used Speedpaint for my primary color, and intend to go back and add details. The SP models are just too nice to leave to a standard table-top quality, really want to stretch my painting and enjoy them more.

Hello Very good job as usual I haven't Citadel Contrast but Vallejo XPress and Game Color. Which colour from Vallejo do you think it could work to replace skeleton Horde ?

@idiealot9958 Жыл бұрын

Sir, per chance do you know what humidity levels are you’re working in? It’s not the first time I can see you work with a rather wet contrast in time mine would already start to settle. Is there anything else than the humidity of the environment that could impact this drying time?

@Sorastro Жыл бұрын

Hello! I don't really know what the humidity is here in my little studio tbh. I also don't mix the Contrast Colour with anything (unless stated), so I'm not sure about the drying time varience. But you could certainly just paint one smaller area at a time (an arm, then the torso etc).. 🙂

@BenSilber Жыл бұрын

Stupid questions - what primer did you use? I'm trying to use my monument hobbies primers, but I find that the speedpaint I use (army painter 2.0) seems to reactivate the primer and pull it off the model. I'm looking for a primer that clearly works with contrast / speedpaint like what you're using here. Thanks!

@Sorastro Жыл бұрын

Hey Ben! I use the Mr Finishing Surfacer Black primer; it's an enamel primer, and you can see me use it in the first episode of the series: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/npiGhayqqKfJm4E.html 😀

@Sorastro Жыл бұрын

Hi! Well, I had a bit of a rough couple of years where my output slowed down a little whilst I got through some personal difficulties, which is now behind me. But also I was commissioned to work on this series some time ago, so was able to work on these videos very early, then release them nearer to the launch of the game. 🙂
