I really want to dry brush, because I'm an idiot and picked Drukhari as my first army and there's LOTS of edge highlighting and I fear 10 edition will be over before I get a painted army on the table.

I think it's very important to have a good drybrush and to really have almost no paint on the brush. 🖌

I drybrush/wash/ink armies, and use other more controlled techniques for individual models and display pieces. If you've got 120 models to paint, even saving 10 minutes per model that's 20 hours saved and well worth it to get an army on the table. Too many armies I've started and not got past the first squad because I picked a painting technique that was too slow. On the flip side, I love my rough painted armies that I whipped up in a couple of weekends and can throw around on the table without having a heart attack if someone touches them. My best results with drybrushing was something I discovered long before speed paints were a thing, which is to drybrush in layers and apply light washes after each layer of drybrush. So maybe start with a dark red primed model, drybrush a slightly less dark red, wash a dark brown, drybrush a midtone red, lightly wash the dark brown again, drybrush a light red/orange, then a final wash. It adds more depth and visual interest, the washes blend the drybrushes together, and you end up with the deepest recesses having 3 coats of wash visible while the upper portions only have 1 which seems to add to the depth.

drybrushing makes a come back when you graduate out of 28 mm and move up to like 1/8th scale

Yes, I would like to boost my overal appearance please.

Ich nutze Trockenbürsten weniger als früher. In meinen Augen ist es vor allem der Verlust an Kontrolle, der diese Technik schwierig macht. Allerdings habe ich erst gestern ein Beispiel für eine sehr gezielte und räumlich begrenzte Anwendung gesehen. Vielleicht muss man es einfach als gezielte Technik einsetzten und nicht als overall-standard-technic für jede Mini sehen

When i started collecting warhammer minis about 1.5 years ago, i heavily used drybrushing in the beginning. `cause like everybody tells you: do drybrushing, its super simple and super fast. And that is correct. When i started i wanted to get my armies battleready ASAP, and when you want to make it look good for the tabletop ~1m away thats a really simple method. And i was happy with it, looked really good (back then ^^) But when i had many models painted and also played some tournaments i started to take more time for painting. i didnt need to get something ready fast for use in a tournament, because the base roster was painted. Ant thats where (for me) painting really started to make fun. I think i haven't used drybrushing in over half a year, and now my models look so much better when you take a closer look. its way more satisfying when you have in the end a really unique model with your personal brush-touch :). Now my armies get model for model replaced with nicer, better looking ones. And you never stop learning while painting. This channel here helped me in particular to get better, you learn really well the basic techniques and improve from there on your own. When i started i mostly used 3 different colours (for example a dark red, a red, a brighter red) for an surface. Now i also use 3 colours, but its my base colour, black and white/yellow/light blue (whatever fits). then i mix ~7-9 gradients and use that, and it looks SO.much.better. All thanks to Marcus, keep those videos coming!

Camera's over here, mate 😂

Thanks confirming my painting choices ! Do the boring important stuff first and do the fancy stuff later if it doesn't look good yet 😂 Thinning is a skill 😅 Many coats is ok !

No offense but you like a regular sized painter.

Finished, not perfect is the best advice you gave. Finished lets you learn more than agonizing over perfect.

Good tips but what you rly have to show to the noobs is stuff like 'if you overpaint with acryl you can wipe it away with a wet brush real quick

Great suggestions, thanks!

As someone who works 13-hour shifts (that’s not a typo) at a coal mine that switch from days-to-nights, and nights-to-days 4 or 5 times a month, AND have a family-I find that I always tend to take those shortcuts. 😅 I basically use speed/contrast paints, maybe do a drybrush, and I always forget to varnish the model in the end. Time is a very valuable luxury I just don’t have… I’ll maybe get one or two models done in a month. 😿

Mega Video! paint consistency sehr gut erklärt. Damit strugglen viele.

Editor's Note: 5:23 when Marcus is showing the spare model: This is actually an example for a too thick paint layer. Just ask, if there are any other confusions. thanks, and stay tuned for the next video! ☺

Wieder ein super Video 🙂

Nice vid, congrats 🤜🤛

Wieder sehr interessant und informativ, vielen Dank dafür. Besonders die Konsistenz der Farben und dein Test dazu fand ich interressant. Ein Frage, wie wascht du die Farbe von deinen Händen?

Finished, Not perfect. Ist super. Sage auch immer für Leute die anfangen, bemalt ist immer besser.

Great video! I’m loving this from scratch videos. Can I ask you two questions: Do you use ice yellow and blue snow for every single colour or just for this miniature colours? Also, what brushes do you use? Well, actually three questions hahaha. Thanks!

I can’t stay in the lines. Too far this way with one color, too far that way with the other color. Really discouraging

shadings the the work for the light (natural or artificial) not for the paint ;)

Brilliant, this is a great channel to show my Warhammer club. So clear and helpful for beginners. Subbed.

I just did all this with this same model with slap chop, zenithal highlighting, and contrast paints with select layer highlighting in under 45 mins

Awesome video! Thanks for the tips!

This is very good.. for a beginner coming into painting this would be the one stop on youtube. Good consistent presentation and direct talk that takes you through the fundamentals of painting - this will give you a good foundation of skills. 10/10

I'm enjoying the production quality of these videos, but have to admit after four videos I still don't know what you mean by "limitless painting" or how this philosophy differs from what we see on other channels. Curious to see where this is headed!

Love love love the intro hook!

Great vid subbed

Dankeschön für deine Videos und deine guten Erklärungen. Ich hoffe ja, es irgendwann mal nach Österreich zu schaffen und so vielleicht mal bei dir was lernen zu können 😊

Thanks for the video, Really cool to see someone use the AK deep shade medium. I'm experimenting with it recently, I like that it can be used kinda like a citadel contrast paint using it raw, but also like a shade with a bit of dilution.

Very nice video!

Just discovered your channel and I'm glad I did! Just watched your first few vids, you're a fantastic engaging presenter! Really enjoyed the content so far and look forward to more!

Sehr anschaulich. Ich hoffe du erklärst im nächsten Video noch mehr zu dem letzten Schritt mit den Tinten. Bislang habe ich noch nie metallics gemischt. Sollte ich aber vielleicht mal probieren.

Great video. Wish you all the best for youtube. Greetings from Linz.

Great vid and advice

Wieder super 😀

I just want you to know that I am enjoying your content and finding it super helpful/educational. The level that you get zoomed in is really helpful because it gives an up close look at where you are deciding to place the paint and gives a good sense of size/depth with the brush. Keep up the amazing work and production quality! Crazy that I'm finding this channel with under 600 subscribers. Wish you the best!

Wieder sehr interessant gemacht und ich konnte wieder einiges lernen, freue mich schon auf dein neues Video und vielen Dank für deine Hilfen.

ERSTER!!!!

Weiter so. Bin gespannt was noch kommt. Für mich hätten es ein paar Schnitte weniger sein können. Wenn die Einstellung ein paar Sekunden länger gehalten wird wirkt es vielleicht doch etwas ruhiger.

Tolle Arbeit, weiter machen !💪

Super Ansatz. Weiter so. Ich dachte bei entry level erst an enter a competition, aber hier ist wohl Einsteiger Niveau gemeint.

love it, keep it up.

Das mit dem offwhite muss ich mal testen. Bis jetzt eher Richtung Knochenmäßig gegangen. Du gibst mir voll die Schwarzenegger vibes mit deinem Akzent. Super zu verstehen. Freue mich auf mehr. Grüße aus Hamburg.

Just as someone with almost none painting experience, but I like to game. Making an entire army like that would take ages for most new players who want to play it feels like to make the whole army like in the previews video. As a "Battle Ready" Standard how GW is calling it. Just basecoats and a wash. So you can game quickly and add the details later. Or am I wrong. Maybe you have a thought on that :)

❤ Bob Ross und ich feiern: „The joy of limitless painting“ 👌🏻💪🏻❤

Super Video! Als nächstes wünsch ich mir ein Tut zum thema Panzerbemalung oder große Monster :D

Great video for beginers!
