My good friend Steve is going to share his secret techniques for masterfully painting tabletop wargame terrain with simple, easy to follow techniques that are beginner friendly and very effective! This boy’s won a Golden Demon as well, so I reckon we should hear him out.

If you want to make that subtle purple wash for shadows, here's the rough recipe: "Liquitex 'Muted Violet', with some Muted Grey and Muted Pink. Watered down with water, flow improver and airbrush thinner. Its very thin, much thinner than any GW wash or contrast"

Don’t get me wrong. I love all the videos and having Steve on the channel was a treat. The terrain looks great. But when you said at the beginning that this was easy I did not expect 20 different skills, 10 different tools and a gazillion different paint products 😂 but thank you anyway. It was fun to watch

if you don't have Dirty Down rust effects, you can simulate it by applying some Burnt Umber paint, either with a brush or sponge or thinned as a wash. This can be followed up with some more vibrant orange paint as a spot color, for that most corroded look.

If you give decals three or four goes with Micro-Sol, letting it dry each time before adding more, they end up even less shiny and it makes the border of the decal invisible after the matt varnish.

Amazing tutorial and what a result, this looks better than probably any of my miniatures! Sadly I just don't have the patience nore the time to invest in a single terrain piece. MM has always been my favorite channel for the beginner friendly and streamlined focused tutorials. Videos like this are great, but I hope Guy keeps doing some tutorials focused on people with less time or resources. I've always shown MM's channel to people coming into the hobby because of the accessibility of the speedpainting and easy to do videos. Even the how to play 9th edition is the best I've seen on YT and hope for a new one with 10th! One of my concerns with social media is that there are so many great but intimidating videos by hobby professionals that some beginners are lead to believe that it's expected to invest 50 hours in one model and this channel has always done a great job of showing that the hobby can be fun, easy and accessible. I hope you don't forget that and still mix in something for the not so talented or dedicated sometimes. Either way, love all your videos and thanks for the amazing content!

@elGordo1888 Жыл бұрын

Heartily agree. Very impressive results from a Golden Demon winner, but not really practical for me - someone who getting a full board of terrain finished to pretty much ANY level would be a massive effort in a time constrained life. Quick and dirty for me, all the way ;-)

I do like the idea of this video being easy for beginners in the sense that the techniques don't require much skill. However, in my case as a beginner I think it would be more valuable to me to see a video that doesn't take much special supplies/materials, even if it takes more skill to execute.
