Still show’s them love. Thought it was intentional, laughed all the same. Keep up the work! Can’t stress enough how much I rely on your videos.

So glad you corrected that. Great video.

I thought it was a joke at first. 😂

Rude.

It did make me laugh when I saw it.

The grabbing hands grab all the speedpaints they can 😊

It's funny because I had the opposite experience. I got miserable getting armies done. It felt like a grind. Once I stopped and just focused on taking my time with single models for as long as I feel like, that's when i started enjoying things again.

@@joshelguapo5563 Yep i've been doing the same. I stop painting a model when i feel like it's time to stop.

Honestly, you and OP don't suffer from not wanting to get better. You just probably were taught or showed incorrectly how to learn to paint. I've taught a few hundred people how to paint as a former GW staff member and painter. I have met many people over the years who have given up or basically said "I can't paint well, but I paint to a quality I like". There's nothing inherently wrong with that, but it always hurts my heart bc I know the joy of really getting deep into the painting side and all the satisfaction of searching for new techniques. I think where the majority of people go wrong is that they are taught by someone who has winged it or just puts washes over everything. There's honestly only 4-5 basic things to learn that can take you 90% of the way to a high caliber paint job, such as thinning paints, learning how to separate/segregate sections on a model, some basic color theory, and finally just basic light theory. This all sounds complicated but only takes about 1 week to start seeing improvement. If that's all you learned and kept at it, within 6 months the worst painter in the world would be putting out good models. Again, whatever floats your boat and makes you happy. Just don't be so quick to "stop improving". Instead, take a step back, and start over with a model. Pretend you've never even seen painting and watch a few basic videos. You'll be surprised how much of bad painting is not technique, but habit. I've had students that I've shown the basics too and they come back with sand glued to the faces to "show that the figure is battle hardened". There's nothing you can do for that except hope they have the gusto to one day ask "am I following the guides?". Just realize that somewhere before you get to "pushing" yourself and hating painting, there's a great zone of "painting for the enjoyment" of it that still involves trying new things, just not burning yourself out.

I think the best approach is to enter a new wargame with speedpainting, so that you can finish your warband, kill team or whatever quickly to finally play and get into the hobby/game. Later when you have some roster diversity you can take more time with your next miniatures and learn some more advanced techniquies

You couldnt have You cant apply wash to a model and drybrush? These are literally the easiest things in painting and will leave you with much more saturated colours than any "speedpaint" will do. Because essentially, they are just a normal colour thinned down with wash.

My trick is to mix normal white paint with speedpaint mixing medium (transparent shite) to do the edge highlight.

Sand Golem over silver makes a wonderful saturated yellow-gold

Yeah, hardcore painting is it's own hobby, I'd rather have a bunch of nice looking en masse armies to play with than a half done army where everyone looks amazing from 15cm away.

Yeah, but a quick underpaint drybrush(slapchop) would elevate these a ton.

Yeah the prevalence of very close shots of minis on the internet has sort of shifted the expectations a lot. No disrespect to those artists, they do amazing stuff, but a painted army on a battlefield with nice scenery is it's own kind of wonderful spectacle.

Im gonna be honest with you - the moment i stoped watching pros, that tell you to "not paint like pleb" i started having fun again. And really improving.

@@Repli_force Yeap. Especially in the wargame hobby just having all your models painted to any level already puts you 90% ahead.

@@Repli_force There are actual people like that?? Thank dog I do this just for fun 😂

Whoa, you take skirmish to another level. I love frostgrave. There's a really good channel for it called "bricks and blocks gaming". If you haven't seen that one, check it out.

@@jeffreykershner440 four warbands for nephews, warhounds, and multiple wizard options. Currently adding 30 more (ratmen archers, scouts, assassins, and goblin warbands) this week. Gotta try out those metallic SpeedPaints tho.

I like that Army Painter is watching videos like this. But that’s their “slogan” these days; “We hear you!” Great community to be in!

That is a really, really good point!

It makes painting SO MUCH more convenient, believe me. I didn't until I first used mini paints and it changed my life. It makes it so much easier to get to wear you want

People knock craft paints way way too much, I've got some perfectly fine results from some. I think it's important to have a variety in your selection

The problem with craft paints is consistency: Some cover well, some cover like crap, some are thin, some are thick, and then the next batch of the very same paint will be different. Consistency is one of the things you pay for with actual hobby paints. Yeah, some craft paints are consistent enough you can rely on them for painting minis, but as a general guideline you're just making your life a whole lot worse and experiencing a self-inflicted pain in the ass.

Do note that in the video author painted only simple miniatures that are not extremely detailed. I use Citadel contrast paints a lot and it is basically impossible to paint so quickly warhammer miniatures with all those pouches, rings, belts everywhere

I swear on my reputation they are worth the money.

@@WylochsArmory To see is to believe. =^[.]^=

Hahaha, me too😅
