Thank you ^__^

Thank you! Indeed it has been a long and tough year, but things are now getting better for what concerns the time I can dedicate to my personal hobby projects! I would like to find again a kind of consistency in my painting schedule :) I hope to be able to share with you my new projects!

Thank you so much for your kind words, Robert :)

They are gorgeous minis. Ok, I'm biased because I love Dwarfs so when GW announced the return of squats (despite being hardly rebooted - and I like more this new incarnation!) I was so happy, but I think that these minis are very well designed and so funny to paint!

Thanks! ^-^

I'm very happy to read so many supportive comments, thank you so much!

Thank you Chris, I'm very happy about such a welcome by the community

Thanks!! ^^

Thank you Mark!

Oh I'll make proper bases soon! I'm making some experiments ^^

Thanks, Eddy!

don't hesitate to ask, of course!

yes! I've not filmed the one you see in this video because it was my very first attempt on doing it, so I had at first to figure out how to do without the pressure of stage XD But you will see it in the next video of this series!

I was hoping to see that too 😬 Love your work and editing is relaxing

@@joshfreeman3264 i actually don't like it but it's just me;) prefer talking one then music and subtitles ;) but i just switch off the sound and look at part i want and need

@@NightWolf1982pl I find I like most styles. The only style I really don't like is when its 60% or more talking, 40% or less painting. I find it hard to watch duncan and some others for that reason. Just too much talking into a camera! I do like when they talk WHILE I'm watching them work on something. (Sorry to throw a legend under the bus lol. It just brakes up the flow!) There's a balance i guess

@@joshfreeman3264 i agree 100% and that is what i meant. Whole clip with painting and talking what they are doing or why during painting. So only voiceover, not talking heads;)

Indeed this was born as a personal challenge, because I usually don't like to paint greens (despite being one of my fav colors!), so I decided to paint with only green tones! :D

Thanks! I use a kind of dark brown/chocolate primer, it's a mix between Vallejo primer German Red and vallejo black primer :)

Nice. Thank you.

In general, at first I try to make the mix color I have in mind on my palette, in small quantity, taking note of the mixing ratio. Once I find the mix that I want, I simply "scale it up" the mix to fill a GW empty pot.

I paint them separated ^^

yes!

@@DurginPaintForgeMiniatures Thanks again. Appreciate it.

the 'Ardcoat makes the mini surface smooth, and this helps the wash to flow better in the recesses, reducing the risk to stain the plain surfaces. Once done with the washes, I restore a matt finish on the model with Lahmian medium/Matt medium (because we don't want caramelized armors :D)

yes I'm editing it in these days :D

nocturna green as a base, nuln oil, then I add skarsnik green to nocturna green for highlights :)

Windsor&Newton serie 7 (setole lunghe) dimensione 1 e 2 :)

@@DurginPaintForgeMiniatures ti ringrazio, io ho sempre il problema che la punta si rovina, per quanto provi a conservarla bene. Proverò questi per capire se è un problema dei pennelli che uso (troppo economici) o del pittore

thanks for your kind words! I reccomend two things: 1) a good brush, not too small (or the color will dry too fast on the bristles) nor too large. I use a windsor&newton series 7, long bristles (watercolor line), size 1. expensive but it makes the difference 2) a correct dilution. For edges highlights, I use the color not too diluted, about 2 parts color 1 part water. Two-three edge sections per time, then wash and load again the brush. bonus tip: after loading the brush (be generous, not just the tip), remove the excess of painting on a paper towel, making a subtle circling movement by rotating gently the brush: this way, you will set a sharp tip that will make the work easier.

@@DurginPaintForgeMiniatures Thank you!

Hi Mateusz! Indeed, I understand that this style might look a bit "old fashioned", nowadays, but I love to paint sci-fi armor this way, it's kinda relaxing and nostalgic for me! Moreover, these guys are meant to be my army, so I'm try to keep as "minimal" as possible at least for the base troops: it's already very time-consuming to paint at this level, so I decided not to invest in extra volumetric lights! I will paint the elite troops and characters with a more "volumetric" approach ;)
