It's been a minute since I did an episode of Uncle Atom's Pro Tips, so I thought I'd make it a special one and include three quick tips for beginners (and not-so beginners) to help out your wargaming hobby painting.

As someone who is an outsider looking in on tabletop games, you're videos are very entertaining. I don't know if it's because your voice, your awesome attitude, the aesthetic, or all the tips you give. If I ever get into tabletop gaming it'll be because of you.

I just want to thank you for reigniting my interest in the hobby. In the past I had an orc WFB army, a troll blood warmahordes army and unpainted (soon to fix that) frostgrave band. Your tips are great, philosophical videos are on point and thank you for turning me towards the current increase in skirmish games. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Just painted my first 40k model in over 12 years! Drukhari warrior in a nice crimson color. Came out lookn good after the shade wash and highlights. These tips helps since some of GWs paints are a bit different than I remember.

Uncle Atom with the sudden ASMR with that paint bottle shake. Pretty satisfying.

The term you were search for with the air brush color is: "viscosity" - you want a metal color with high viscosity.

Regarding those metallic paints that don't cover well, my tip is... use that to your advantage by laying down a non-metallic base coat close to the colour you want. That way, the base coat does most of the colouring work, while the metallic just adds the shine, as well as a subtle tint.

Similar to the weathering pencils: I do my pupils with a microfine artist pen. Just purchase the finest pen you can at the fine art store and touch the tip to the sclera of your figure. Stabilize your hands and go in slow but it's easier than brush work.

Good call on the Vallejo Air metallics. Have been using them for the past 3 years or so with a brush. I heavily recommend using their Model Air brown colors. Specifically, Armour Brown. It goes on sort of like a stain and/or a Contrast paint. Depending on how you move your brush, you will get a certain pattern. Draw your brush in a straight pattern, you can get a wood grain effect. I swear by it ;)

If you use superglue to get a pose you are happy with, once you're happy, you can then use Tamyia Extra Thin plastic cement in the way it's designed for regular modelling kits, so you take the brush, get some of the glue on it, and run it along the join. Essentially capillary action will pull the glue into the gap between the pieces, and you'll get that strong plastic glue bond.
