Thanks buddy! I am really trying to push on making them as easy to watch and follow as possible! I see a lot of channels with great information that just aren't that watchable. Always pushing to improve though!

I like the fact you enunciate well. You can almost hear the punctuation of what you are reading. Great videos as well. Love your take on Grimdark and the fact you aren't afraid to cut a corner here and there.

Thankyou! 👍 The enunciation is a perk of coming from the home counties, I do find myself getting a little lazy some times though!

Thanks for that tutorial mate! I was one of those who asked if you could go into detail of your basing when you did the grim dark primaris. So thanks again, this is really helpful and inspiring!

No, thankyou for watching and for making the suggestion! I'm glad you enjoyed the video and that it's given you some ideas!

I found just wrapping a little bit around the end of your pole (the styrene in this case) then having them next to a bit of coiled up wire is enough to create the effect that it's attached to a post.

Good ideas and easy to understand. Been sitting on a few bottles for a while wondering if they'd work at all. Very helpful

Thankyou! You definitely won't regret giving them a try!

Bases are, by far, one of the most important parts of the miniature, and new painters tend not to care much about them. Very cool techniques here. I like experimenting sometimes, but I always end up going back to the old trusty sand and pa with a lil grass :)

Agreed! Basing can be so important for setting the feel of the miniature. Sand and paint was always my #1 but these pigments are a big of a game changer for me! I am also really enjoying the GW and Vallejo textures at the moment!

I heard the saying "A model isn't done until the base is also done" and it's absolutely true. Definitely spend a good deal of effort on the bases, they are part of the model and part of its story too.

Good work man, you're an a real artist! Congrats!

I learned that using some airbrush thinner will also fix your pigment quite nicely. I think it helps retain the dusty look

I've tried a couple of airbrush thinners but never found them to fix it in place that strongly, maybe just not using the right one

Not to sound mean but for me anyway, I can't seem to get citadel products to deliver the results I want. To me, they are garbage. Over time I've found several brands outperform and even though some are difficult to get, I'd rather be patient and wait for deliver than spend 10 min running down to my local mini store. Vallejo, Ammo by Mig, Abteilung 502, Wilder,VMS, Tamiya, and Pro Acryl. They all bring a little something different and work together to help elevate your minis or models. Thanks for a great and informative video!

Nice one bud

have you ever used pigments on top of the citadel crackle paint before? I'm wanting to do some reddy/brown style bases for my Black templar as I feel it will look best against the armour. I really would like to use some pigments, but I was going to use some citadel crackle paint as well. I guess i could just use some pigments to add some realism and colour variation later on.

To be honest I've struggled to find a pigment that matches the Games Workshop technical paint in colour. The newer pots of Martian Ironearth and Ironcrust seem to have more of a pinkish colour rather than an orange tone and this is pretty hard to replicate.

Do you always start applying pigment with the brightess and finish with the darkest ??

Nice video! Is there a way to lock in or varnish the pigment but still keep the dusty look?

Sadly it's very difficult if you are using it for gaming, I've found white spirit works best for me but unfortunately does deaden them down a little.

Grind down some chalk pastels into a fine powder. You just saved 90% of your money and have 10 X the colors to choose from.

I've had mixed luck with chalk pastels, the last set I had were all a bit waxy and ended up clumping when I tried this. Otherwise this is a great tip.

Isn't the base part of the Miniature? Imo, sand and paint detracts from the mini.

Why do all these model builders use this awful loud music? There's no need for it.
