It’s great for painting many minis at once and fairly quickly or even modifying it slightly to take out one of the dry brushes still works almost as good (doesn’t turn out quite the same) if you need to save even more time. Definitely worth giving it a try. This one here was my first try and I definitely am not an experienced painter haha

It works for me

It’s definitely popular and works well for many people.

It’s a really great product for a lot of users. We really love it! The 2.0 line brought a lot of versatility

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thanks! Appreciate you watching!

Thank you ☺️I hope so too! Let me know how it goes.

Oooo I like it. You should do a series where you do your first time trying something. Then a follow up video with your second attempt and compare the two so you can see the difference.

Thank you!

I like that idea. I was thinking it would be a series of videos of my first attempts at new things but this is also an interesting concept to post the first and second attempts. I’ll have to think on that and maybe see what people would enjoy.

@@Princess_Quorra a series of just first attempts would be good too. I’m just interested in seeing the improvement between the first and second attempts once you’re more familiar with the methods

@@Themeparkslover I like this idea! A whole series would be cool. A completely separate series from your other series.

Thanks!

Thank you. Hope you’ll watch the full video when it’s done!

Thank you so much. Much appreciated. I tried really hard not to completely embarrass myself😂but obviously I wasn’t the happiest with the green I chose and how dark it was but eh learning moment.

Hopefully this weekend. There’s a bit more editing to do but I’m hoping to have it out in the next day or two.

Thank you. Was pretty happy with the results for my first attempt at this method. After a forced break from painting for a bit(and videos) I’m ready to try this method with the speedpaint 2.0 colours as well as trying some new methods and other hopefully fun videos.

@@Princess_Quorra Please keep the videos and the painting going! You're doing a great job! I've always wanted to paint my figures, but never have. Also, I've never played any sessions. ☹

Thank you! We will hopefully be getting some new content up soon 🤞

Yes. We are still waiting on FS2 miniatures as well. This mini was one of first painted when we received FS1. Decent minis but terrible company.

Thank you. I thought I did ok for my first try.

Haha I mean it was sped up a bit for the video but overall it didn’t take too long to actually paint even for my first try.

I did. It was my first time trying it so it was unfamiliar. I’m definitely looking forward to trying it again. I chose a pretty simple mini for the first one with only a few colours and no really small details.

​@@Princess_Quorragreat first time!

Thank you! I look forward to trying a slightly more complicated mini next time!

This was my first time trying out Slapchop but I’ve heard that’s a great way to do it since I made this video.

Can get smoother with drybrush even if you do dark grey, grey, light grey then white with less and less pressure.

May try that at some point if I’m feeling like doing some extra steps

I prefer the dry brush method since the wider black areas give a comic/graphic novel feel to it.

I hadn’t gotten a chance to try any other way of doing it yet to compare. I’ve still been out of commission but really hoping to be back at it soon.

Thanks for your comment. Always good to have other opinions and ideas for the future. I only did the Drybrush at the end of this one because I didn’t like the green that I chose at the start. The other slapchops I’ve done since this first one I haven’t used a dry brush after as I haven’t found that I’ve needed to. That doesn’t mean I won’t ever need to but I haven’t needed to yet.

@@Princess_Quorra that’s great! I have been drybrushing every colour on my skaven blood bowl team. Slapchop is great but I wanted just to push it that one step beyond that so did couple drybrushes over to highlight the final parts, but I now don’t highlight as much due to slapchoping.

I will have to give it a try on a mini that I’m happy with the colour I picked. Although with the additional colours available now with the speedpaint 2.0 there are so many more to choose from compared to when I did this first Slapchop. So hopefully I should be able to always find a colour I will be happy with. Although you never know once you’ve finished your mini and done all the other colours if you’re still going to like that very first colour you picked as your first paint. For your highlights that you do on your slapchops how do you select what colours you’ll use over top of your contrast paints (I assume that’s what you use based on your first comment but if not I apologize in advance). Do you just pick a regular acrylic that is slightly lighter/brighter as you normally would that’s hopefully in the same colour range? For my minis that I’ve don’t highlighting on thus far I’ve mostly used the army painter air colour triad line which makes it easy to highlight or Atleast know what colour to use(it doesn’t make me any better at painting. Just the trio of colours from dark to light makes that part easy).

@@Princess_Quorra you just think what that highway bit is missing then pick a paint that matches what it’s lacking to you. It’s still how heavily pigmented the speed paints are. A mate of mine recently tried and he said it lost any form of trying to base, shade and highlight in one like contrasts do. Contrasts are just thin enough to actually do what they’re meant to do.

Thanks. We’ve tried some citadel products but besides the spray primer have preferred the army painter products.

The grey and then white dry brushing your primed mini is supposed to create natural shadows and highlights underneath the speedpaints (or contrast paints). The speedpaints allow those to show thru so you don’t have to highlight with multiple lighter colours after. I did drybrush a lighter green on top of the skin colour at the end as I wasn’t happy with the colour I chose but that was just personal choice.

@@Princess_Quorra may I ask how would one achieve this if speedpaint and contrast paint weren’t on the table and acrylic paint was. I used water to thin the paint out and it worked pretty good just wondering if there is any other tips

Hi. If you want to use paints you already have you could look into getting speed paint/contrast medium to mix into your acrylics. You would only need to get one new bottle rather than a new set of paints. If this isn’t an option then a traditional layering/highlighting will give a similar effect.

@@Princess_Quorra thank you so much!!!! I tried paint a mini black and dry brushing the highlights then used acrylic paint with some water to think it out. It came out better then I expected (still think your way is 100x better) but if you ever run out of speed paint try using acrylic with some water for thinning. The thin coats show the highlights well and make the shades of the black in the tuff to reach places really pop

You’re welcome. We do have tons of speedpaints and acrylics so we should always have something on hand. We don’t always do slapchop. It definitely is easier when you have a batch of minis or even a modified version of slapchop if you aren’t going for the full look for something like a board game where you have a lot of the same mini that you want to get done quickly.

It would be interesting to see with white hair. I just chose some simple colours for my first time trying this method.

Let me get back to you on that.

🤘🤘🤘

Hi sorry we missed your comment over the holidays. This method doesn’t work that well over flat surfaces but it could still work depending on the dice tower. It’s not really size dependent.

Yes this one is a Slapchop video. We do have washes and use washes depending on what we’re painting/doing. We have probably over a dozen different washes and do incorporate them where appropriate. They haven’t made many appearances in videos yet but they will be.

Haha what are you looking for specifically? There is a long version of the video if your looking for a slower more detailed version/tutorial as well as another short and long video of an ogre that I slapchopped as my second try. If you let me know what you’re looking for in particular I can hopefully be more helpful in my response.

This one I don’t mind the darker start since the flesh isn’t really flesh coloured but I could see the benefits of starting with a dark grey on something lighter overall. I just didn’t like the absolution green and at the time I did this there were only the original speedpaints out so really only two greens.

That is what I did. I primed black, then dry brushed grey, then finished with a white Drybrush before starting with my speedpaints. It was my first time slapchopping as I’m new to painting so I’m all about trying new things and showing how they turned out and then trying again. Since I did use a grey dry brush first. Do you have something you think I could have done better? A darker grey, different spots left grey or black, different spots made whiter? I would really like to improve my painting so I’m all for feedback if you have any and pushing for improvement.

@@Princess_Quorra you are doing good I misunderstood thinking you went first with the heavy white Thank you for the video!

No problem. Thanks for clarifying!

Hi for the dry brush that was used? Or the regular brushes?

@@Princess_Quorra for the dry brush 😃

sorry its taking me a bit. I am looking for where we got them. I will get back to you with it. I haven't forgotten about it.

www.amazon.ca/Army-Painter-Masterclass-Professional-Roleplaying/dp/B08GQ7DQ18/ref=sr_1_5?crid=32J2T8ZPXZCGC&keywords=army+painter+drybrush&qid=1692488688&sprefix=army+painter+drybrus%2Caps%2C90&sr=8-5

Is that not what I did? White on the areas on top plus other high points that light would hit?

This was my first time trying slapchopping so hopefully you don’t mind me asking but why would diluting it with the speedpaint medium work better?

@@Princess_Quorra as you mentioned yourself, especially the green turned out pretty dark and didn’t let the previously prepared highlights and shadows to shine through. This is key for getting the most out of Slapchop and not needing to necessarily highlight/drybrush after

Yes I did mention the green was a darker green then I wanted as a colour overall. It was really not the colour green I wanted at all but neither was the other green in the original mega set. Having the selection of greens available in the 2.0 mega set leads to a lot more colour choices now then when this was done. My question is more about why Every speedpaint should be diluted with speedpaint medium when slapchopping? A lot of the lighter colours already either don’t have very good coverage in a single coat or have good coverage but still are easy to see the highlights and shadows through as is. Sometimes I find that there is too much shadow being seen when using some of the light colours that I do need a second coat to see the colour at all.

The green I used was a speed paint wasn’t it? Or am I misunderstanding your comment?

@@Princess_Quorra I mean that "Slapchop" should clarify that one needs to buy new colors. Not your fault, it is a general remark.

Yes it would need speed paints or contrast paints but you don’t necessarily need to go out and buy new paints just for this. They are used for things other than just slapchop.

Thank you! I suppose he should look terrible

Great question. It’s a technique used in miniature painting (using the name slap chop) that is supposed to be a fast east way to paint a lot of minis at once.

I’m not the best explaining of things like things 😂😅so sorry if my description is awful. If it is I’m sure someone will come by with a better one.

Haha what? Yes. I’m confused.

@@Princess_Quorra reminded me of the vince offer advertisement lmao

Ahhh gotcha !

Yes it is. You can watch the full video for more details. The link and information is in the description.

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/adlmoZNntdmugH0.html Here is the link right here as well.

Guilly dew wasn’t out when I did this :) only the original speedpaints were out. I did this before the 2.0 speedpaints were out. We do have the speedpaint Mega set 2.0 now though so many more colour choices.

Thank you for the suggestion though. I always appreciate tips and suggestions as I’m really just starting out painting.

Thanks. It was my first try and I’m a beginner in general so I didn’t expect it to look good!

I’ll take that into consideration.
