Thanks! That's great to hear. I'm hoping to add some higher/competition quality stuff in the future too. But army painting will always be the main focus.

I just wanted to mention that the music is really fitting with this one, loved the mood.

Great to hear! They're a useful tool. I wouldn't use them for everything, but they're certainly good to have around. Good luck and I hope you enjoy them!

I absolutely love the banner you did. The faded checkerboard in the background of the banner is fantastic! I would definitely go with unique heraldry for your knights. I think it looks so cool on the tabletop and prevents the army from feeling monotonous.

Thanks! I think I'll have to make a banner tutorial video. Lots of cool details and things to talk about. I agree about the knights, and it also keeps the painting process from feeling monotonous too!

Congrats on 10k. They look fantastic. Especially with that green.

Thank you! That means a lot to me. Chill vibes all the way. Glad you enjoy the videos.

Really cool set of archers! personally i like painting all my "peasants" in the same color scheme and paint all knights in different color schemes! Makes them stand out all the more on the tabletop

Great idea! I think I'm leaning towards that route. I may paint up some additional peasants in a second color scheme just to add a little more variety. Leaning towards blue and white

I'm doing Bretonnians at the moment. I'm making having all of the knights wear the same livery (the duke's livery), and using their shields to differentiate them. Knights errant have the duke's livery on their shields. Knights of the realm and questing Knights get to have their own livery on their shields. Grail Knights get to have their own livery on their horses and the duke's livery on their shields. That way I'm not having to paint dozens of different colours schemes

can't wait to see how you paint your Bretonnian army HTM! It will look a lot like your Space Marine army if you paint it yellow and green.

I like the more subdued greens and yellows. I'll be stealing ideas for my Stirland Empire force from this one. 👍

Awesome! Feel free to join our Discord and share your results there. It would be cool to see. Thanks for watching!

My first painted model was also done with model enamels. It was pewter, so I just never painted the silver parts. Yikes! I like the color scheme on your Bretonnians, and the no green rule must have been a later addition to the lore, because in my old army book lots of the knights have green as part of their heraldry. I also like the idea of each knight having his own unique heraldry, but I can see the appeal in terms of efficiency to paint them in a uniform way. Thanks Mr. Matt.

Yeah the 5th ed book had some green heraldry. Lots of inspiration. I believe it was the 6th edition book where the no green heraldry thing came up. I like the older Bretonnians more anyway, lots more character to those models!

I think i like a mix of uniformity and unique works best. As you know my grail knights and questing knights had a unique paint scheme for each model while the characters/lords led there own retinue of uniformed knights of the realm, knights errant, yeoman and peasants.

Have you always used Citadel contrast paints, or do you like them the best?

@MattsHobbyHour

Ай бұрын

I also like Vallejo Xpress Color. I used a few of them in my video about painting Squigs. Overall they are good, but I prefer Citadel contrast paints for the most part. I tend to use a mix of techniques. Some contrast related, and a lot of old school techniques. So I don't like to think of any specific paints as "bad", they all have their uses.

I really want to know how do you paint the rest of your army

Lore has made too much damage to creativity… we all should paint our armies the way we want, the way we see it,the way we dream. Mine is every knight different and also green in the heraldry: pure 5th Ed style.
