Yes... Make this a series please!

Really enjoying these color cube models. It would really be cool to do shorts with just these random pulls. Another neat concept would be to pick an army you want to paint, pick three models from the same unit, paint one with a color card of your choice and the other two with random pulls from each box. Then have the community vote on the best looking one and commit to painting the army in that scheme in a follow up video.

After your last video on this I purchased one and wrote their customer service to tell them about the video. They are almost all gamers there! They love the video too! When you buy the cube it comes with color matching downloads for paint brands like Prisma Color, etc. I suggested they add some for Citadel, Army Painter, etc. They are going to look into it. It's a great tool and the downloads are a real bonus - thanks for introducing it to everyone in this community! Great video - as always

I am an old guy that is relatively new to the hobby. Painting has been very intimidating - and I always struggle with where to begin. Your videos have been great and inspire me to simply try stuff and not worry too much about it. This is another great 'place to start' and lowers the barrier to just dive in and grab the brushes! Thanks, and please keep them coming! As others have stated, I could watch an entire series based on random pulls from the cube.

​@@terrencemiltner1005 Maybe, maybe not. GW has been doing limited runs of board games forever. However, from casual observation, they generally fall in two "tracks". The "fan-boy" track with new sculpts and sold exclusively by Games Workshop, like: Dreadfleet, Space Hulk 3rd Ed., Warhammer Quest. These were always premium ≥ $120 games. Then there's the "on-boarding" track, typically with older and/or repurposed sculpts, sold at big box retailers, like: Lost Patrol 2nd Ed., Space Marine Adventures. These have generally been ≤ $60. What we've got in Dark Tide is possibly the worst of both tracks. The repurposed sculpts of the "on-boarding" track but closer in price to the "fan-boy" track. The value bump perhaps coming from 1.5 to 2 of the minis being heroes which cost $35 standalone. Value being relative, if you're that hobbyist inclined to collect Imperial Smorgasbord. Oh, and you get a probably OK board game to go with all them minis. It's also only being sold by GW. So the newly initiated 40k fan enticed by the $40 Darktide video game can't just stumble upon the game at Barnes & Noble and acquire it on an impulse buy. Nay, they must to seek out GW on their own turf to drop that hundo and change in tribute. Thinking about it, the consumer the Darktide board game would appeal to "most" is at the centermost circle of [Cmdr.] Dante's Venn Diagram. Persons that are prexisting GW fans and/or really into the Darktide video game, already inclined to shop at a Warhammer store or online, who also like board games and/or want the specific minis in this box, and/or want to get their friends into 40k, but can't convince them to buy $200+ of hobby junk outright, so they've got to pull a bait-and-switch on Blood Rage night. The other outlier in this, uh -- space, is the Space Marine video game tie-in board game. Which features the new and currently exclusive Lt. Titus mini, and the repurposed, but still new-ish, Leviathan Termagants. That's available at retail for $40.

I painted this miniature in almost the same colours (a similar blue and yellow) and now I'm dying because of the firefighter comparison.

Every time I see someone pull out the color cubes for minis, I get excited. Partly because the creator of them (Sarah Renae Clark) is here on KZread and does 2D art, often in coloring books. Partly because I know I'm in for a great adventure in color. But, mostly because I'm always interested to see how folks are using the colors they get.

Remember when Goobs used to do these color roulette videos? Those were fun times.

TBH both your paintjob and the color composition look awesome, you did a great job considering the constraints, I would love to see more challenges like that one!

That process with the colour cubes works great. All too often people try to replicate the standard paint scheme which really inhibits creativity. I thinks it’s a great idea. Would be great to see you tackle a large miniature with the same process.

Love this! The mini looks ace. You could mail out a random card to other creators and challenge them to get involved, and paint a mini using the card

Love seeing more color cube videos! It's so interesting to see how you use the limited palette given by the card to work through the problems of the model, especially for things like the skintone, which I'd have never thought to have gone with those colors for, but on the finished model it just looks great.

Ninjon video? Its a good day.

For those looking for a slightly cheaper (and less space-consuming) option, they also have two "Color Catalog" PDFs. I believe those are basically the same color schemes, only in PDF form instead of as a bunch of physical cards.

@@thinkabouthelogic color displays are a tricksy bastard sometimes... They're also self-illuminating. If it's not something that you think about from time to time, it can occasionally lead to issues if you're using it as reference. Think of it less as the obvious consideration, and more as a "don't leave your color wheel where it will be exposed to direct sunlight.". Reference material is only as good as the fidelity it maintains, and it's an easy consideration to miss, if you're not thinking about it.

Glad the cube company reached out to you! I commented on one of their insta ads asking them to sponsor you so I could see the cube in action more

I've only been painting for about 4 years since lockdown, but watching your videos makes my new hobby more enjoyable. Thanks for not being too serious .you present the show great .

Your Darktide intro reminded me of when I worked in a music store and we sold "High School Musical: The Musical, The Series: The Soundtrack, Season 2." Thank you for pushing through, even at the risk to your sanity.

Bro, freaking love your take on the ads. Great puns, not too over the top, honest, and creative. That, plus the content is killing it. It's been so fun watching your content improve over the last couple years - thank you immensely for what you do. Helps keep us all a little bit sane. :)

That is awesome to hear! You should be proud, thanks for letting me know!

If that cube company wanted to make the perfect ad for their product, they would just literally take these videos of yours. It's a great result!

Please do more of these. This is good stuff. You've shown us how to make unexpected combinations work, how to make a limited pallet work for you, that it's ok to make mistakes, and some ways to overcome them.

My god this paint job was brilliant - yeah as you said it leans on rain slicker / fireman but that WORKS. The little touch of your thinned blue glow on the eyes SELLS the heck out of the effect and I enjoyed watching you get it there, what a fun video!

Awesome paint job! Love the way the paint cube frees your brain up to enjoy playing around with colour mixing etc.

Great video and appreciate your willingness to paint according to a random color chart/card. I think I learned a lot and I know I always enjoy your sense of humor!! Thanks!

Card 290 is pretty much my Tau scheme for the past decade. I come from Adobe KULER colour tools background, so it was not random that I settled on that scheme - for the uninitiated in colour theory - those color cubes are a brilliant idea!

I love how good that skin tone looks. Whole paint job is awesome! My wife teaches art and after watching this and the last one is in love with the cubes. Thanks for the amazing video!

I think what could be fun is have a guest on and you each have to pick each others palettes for a model. Then maybe halfway switch palettes and see if the resulting models you each end up with tie into a cohesive scheme, but in each of your different styles and direction.

This is such a fun idea. Keep making these. I love how both those models came out

I'd watch a whole series of these colour cube videos, really enjoy you using your knowledge of colour theory with the random colour selection.

Love the way the journey with your miniature went through stages of finding a name then a job and then powers. Wonderful.

This turned out SOOOO good. I would never have thought to use that combination at all. Thanks!!

I actually have this model and have never quite liked how it turned out. Seeing how cool this color scheme looks in this video showed me that it's worth digging up and try this color scheme on. Thanks Jon!

Looks great, Jon. This cube is a great idea, and you're executing on these ideas really well.

Just ordered the color cubes to inspire terrain painting schemes, and I'm glad to see how well you're able to use them for minis!

I ordered the two cube set, look forward to using them for my painting projects. Bonus points, my wife does quilting, I plan to share them with her to try out.

I really need to get these color cubes! I feel like they'd be perfect for the 4 color palettes we do every week! This looks terrific Jon. So glad to see you coming over to the minimal side of the palette!!

Must say, looking up close your painting style and skill improved quite a bit over the last 2-3 years. I really enjoyed the idea of the video as also the little side story. Gave me some great inspiration what to do with a little band of goblins in the future.

I've really enjoyed these colour scheme roulette videos, it'd be great to make these a regular thing that you put out every now and then.

I went and bought one of the colour cube sets off the back of your first video. Honestly they’re great. I’ll be using it for my own upcoming PC projects. Even if you have a good grasp of colour theory, it’s just way too easy to fall back on what you know and like. These cards are just great for experimenting and removing a bit of subconscious bias from your choices.

I loved my Cube! Makes painting a lot of fun. Thank You!

My algorithm loves you, as it recommends you every Friday without fail. Definitely one of the best parts of the day for me!

I love watching this cube-inspired color-scheme series. That AND your panting experience feels like magic to me😱

After watching the first video, I ordered these and they just came in today! Can’t wait to try them out!

That opening was true Inception if I ever saw it. Bravo!

I ordered the color cubes and they are supposed to arrive tomorrow, can't wait!

beautiful colour scheme...and amazing paintjob. Bravo Jon. That simple OSL is amazing...you could do a video about painting OSL on different levels, from this simple way to some more complex methods.

Comment for the Algorythm gods - But whilst im here - I legitimately love these colour swatch videos. I really do hope they become a firm fixture on your channel!

I love this! I actually can not wait to get these cubes. I think they will help me in my painting. Not having to guess a color scheme is a great way to learn. I would like to see you paint a trio of miniatures that make a small band of adventurers. With the three using the same color scheme to see what differences can be done. Awesome as usual!

Love your videos, Mate and I’m seriously thinking of picking up some of these colour cubes for inspiration on paint schemes, for my minis

Loved this video. Excited to use my set soon, thanks again for recommendation.

Really digging these Color Cube episodes. I think it turned out fantastic!

That came out great. I got the cubs after you last episode and started a new army using one of the color pallets. Thanks

Jon you are killing it with those color cubes!! Always enjoy your content. Your injection of humor into such useful information makes your videos too damn short.

This model looks fantastic and is what I imagine to be in line with the rag-tag conscripted prisoner-like setup of Darktide.

Really like how you just kept running with the lion cloth. The dedication was real

I love it, it’s really different, would love to see another of these, in even crazier colors

Happy weekend everybody!

That's the classic mix of primary color CMJ. Balance it in high or low contrast/lightening/ocre as you wish, , and you always have a good result on any models. That's efficient. Good result as always, clearly dude.

Great video. I especially like Georgie's skin tones. After your first video, I bought the Color Catalogue electronic version and have it on my phone and iPad. Takes up less space than the cubes. It is searchable by key word, color, and collections (like holidays, and seasons). Thanks for introducing this and showing how to use it in a practical way.

Wow the final figure looks great, very vibrant. The red and orange tones look really nice.

I’d love more of these color cube paintings videos. Maybe more about specifically how you’re mixing and using the colors on you pallet. Awesome video. I’m kind of a new viewer. Thanks!

This is great. The game reminds me of the TTS the miniatures game that was featured by Crabbok last month. I agree with others. This is a cool way to find and use paint combos.

This was great, I love just running with a random color scheme. I have an old vengeance weapon battery that I started to paint in a blue and then decided to paint it in the old Gulf Racing Livery colors. I get a chuckle when someone is digging through my terrain and catches it.

Definitely love this type of video, it shows the fun of painting and how to make the most out of so few. I would love to see some of the more brighter colors selections like on the Ogryn or the Flamethrower user Great video Jon :)

Red, Yellow, Blue and Psionic powers. Georgie is an X-Man

This is great! I'd watch as many vids with these color cubes as you'd make. Love the idea of a random card and that's it! Go paint! Brilliant 👏

Really enjoyed another video showing the use of the colour cards. You are a great figure painter, but doing skin tones on this just blew my mind as you went up a gear to get this great result. 👏👏👏👏

the Darktide Miniatures game really gives me that Street Fighter The Movie The Game vibe

Unreal outcome 🔥🔥… using the colour cube colour selection will only help you learn to more and grow as an artist 🤘🤘

I have to pick up these color cubes soon. I love how Georgie turned out!

Man. That thing would stand OUT on a field. I love it. DO IT AGAIN

Love the intro and the unsuormountable spiral to insanity jon gets drag into... The best infomercial ever! Give this man an Oscar and therapy.

Your painting has always been great but I can see a noticeable improvement in your work since your beautiful GD piece. Very nicely done man!

dude that looks sick i love it.... cool to see you painting yellow and showing how you do it 😁

I tried doing skin by mixing primaries like this recently, and dang is it both more fun and really pops when it goes well. My suggestion would be painting a mini using only primaries mixed together, plus black and white, no premixed colors.

always a good day when ninjjon posts thanks for getting me through work !

This turned out surprisingly well! Video goldmine here - would totally watch some more of these :)

I used to do digital illustarion work back in the days and those color swatches were always a great cheat for a good piece. Never thought of applying that to minis. Great idea, must try it

I enjoy these types of videos. Goobertown used to do this with dice from memory. Hope you keep doing them. The mini is definitely a water user and the Chief in the fire dept haha

Definitely one of my favorite videos. Hoping it reinvigorates my painting to.

These cubes are awesome! Might have to give it ago. I hope you keep doing these videos with this cube would make some great content.

Dark tide aside, this model came out amazingly well the cards are cool but I feel you definitely need the skills to back them up and make the required changes to make it work.

I really love these Color Cube paint schemes. More please, I have the popcorn maker on standby 🫡

Thank You , Jon . 🐺 Loupis Canis .

Bought the cube! Cant wait for it to arrive

Ngl, these color cube videos are really inspiring me to get a bit more crazy with my choice or color.

The color cube seems neat, but I think I would need a lot more paints before I'd want it. You were well able to pull out bottles to match each color. 😊

This was another great one. A full colour cube series needs to happen!

Great video, thank you. You just keep getting better.

Great paintjob!

Loved this video! Table Top Time decided they needed to do a video with the cards as well.

500 hours in darktide and counting. That game slaps idgaf. A board game you say? You have my attention. Nice cube brah. Congrats on the DEMON!

Crazy how well that works. I would have not picked those colors on my own. But it really looks good.

This looks great! We need some more fun like this!

I love that this is unintentionally a collab between two of my favorite art youtubers. Someone tell Sarah Renee Clark that her cubes are getting used for mini painting!

The tip about not messing with the streaky paint and letting it dry really helped my painting

For random colors that looks really good and comes together great

This is the new meta. You must conquer the cube. All X amount of cards!
