Paint AWESOME terrain with SIMPLE techniques!
Ойын-сауық
My good friend Steve is going to share his secret techniques for masterfully painting tabletop wargame terrain with simple, easy to follow techniques that are beginner friendly and very effective! This boy’s won a Golden Demon as well, so I reckon we should hear him out.

If you want to make that subtle purple wash for shadows, here's the rough recipe: "Liquitex 'Muted Violet', with some Muted Grey and Muted Pink. Watered down with water, flow improver and airbrush thinner. Its very thin, much thinner than any GW wash or contrast"

I love the fact that Steve is getting a spotlight in the channel, he’s a great painter!
Don’t get me wrong. I love all the videos and having Steve on the channel was a treat. The terrain looks great. But when you said at the beginning that this was easy I did not expect 20 different skills, 10 different tools and a gazillion different paint products 😂 but thank you anyway. It was fun to watch
guy, I want to thank you for getting me into Warhammer and painting miniatures. your how to paint your first miniature video was incredibly helpful just starting out.

Maybe. I gave away all my minis about 10 years ago. Had a huge imperial guard army all in APCs. I have been thinking about painting some blood bowl teams - I'm not at all interested in playing the games anymore, but find the painting enjoyable.

That liquid mask coming off at 9:15 was some freaking sorcery. I don't remember having my mind blown by a painting technique like that since I first saw you put crackle paint on necrons in the first video I saw on this channel.
Steve love this terrain
best terrain video painting i've seen - huge help thanks mm!
We've clearly a man passionate with the enviromental here. I can feel the amount of research to find the proper way and catch the result desired. Fully understand. Lovely work.
We all love your vids guy. Keep up your amazing work. (Ps Steve your painting is amazing 😊)
Awesome video. Please have Steve do more a mid tier painting and advanced videos. This scenery looks amazing. Looking forward to the next video. Keep up the good work.
Guy and Steve - thank you so much. As a smaller KZreadr that focuses on terain and 40k - this is an amazing tutorial and a great product. Glad to grab this bundle. You're both the absolute best!
Love bringing in other people to spotlight on the channel. Well done Guy and Steve!
This technique will see my Into the Dark set finished in about 6 years.
YES. Preach the gorgeousness of Jet Exhaust!!! I’m using it on all of my Space Hulk terrain as well.
wow that terrain looks amazing :D
Steve is so ridiculously talented at this.
if you don't have Dirty Down rust effects, you can simulate it by applying some Burnt Umber paint, either with a brush or sponge or thinned as a wash. This can be followed up with some more vibrant orange paint as a spot color, for that most corroded look.
Don’t care what anyone says but guy is the most entertaining and engaging hobby KZreadr I’ve watched
i like the doorway piece very much
Nicely done! You could also use toothpicks to scratch up the decals without worrying about going down to primer

Looks like I may have found the right inspiration to get my Gallowdark terrain painted now. Also I have your Blackstone Fortress videos to thank for getting me back into miniature painting last year. Only had a short hiatus of around 20 years 😂 Plus as an adult that earns their own money I've obviously gone over board and gathered a ridiculous amount of minis to paint! 🤦🏻♂️
I love the fact that your channel is one of the only ones that still mostly paints miniatures... No silly crazy stunts, like $10000 diorama, 100kgs of resin, look I freehanded the sistine chapel on this warlord titan's shoulder.

@Midwinter Minis Sure, that was weird and all, but I like the "let's actually paint something" videos, that's all.
This is marvellous - can Steve come back another time?
Given that our timezones are right next to one another and it's midnight here, I have to admire your dedication to posting videos...
haven't really made use of sponges before, but as per usual when watching a Midwinter video, I feel inspired to branch out a little bit and try something new for my next project. Hasn't steered me wrong so far, and I do happen to have some terrain I've been wanting to tackle, so onward and upward...
That's a fantastic technique
Oh that’s brilliant. Thanks Guy and Steve. Awesome work
Great looking terrain. Think I need to try this tutorial on some of my Killteam box terrain in the future.
It's so freaky that I JUST BOUGHT those same STLs the other day and now I'm getting pro tips on how to paint them. Get out of my attic, guy. I HEAR YOU UP THERE WITH THE MICROPHONE!
For the record I didn't make it 1/2 way through the video before I paused and purchased the Mega bundle, I almost missed the discount code. Great job! I'm going to use them for SW5e.
Thank you for posting this video a day after I spend 2 straight months slogging through my boarding action terrain. Really great timing there.
Great vid. Ty so much. Nice terrain too.
I'm out of the hobby for a few years, yet I absolutely love the content on your channel. I just think your content is some of the most wholesome in the whole mini-hobby sphere!
If you give decals three or four goes with Micro-Sol, letting it dry each time before adding more, they end up even less shiny and it makes the border of the decal invisible after the matt varnish.
This looks really good great work
Purchased! Thanks Guy and Steve
What about doing a gloss varnish on the glass bits?

Not even watched the vid yet but omg I can't stress enough how coincidental perfect the timing for this video is. My terrain is my next project.
Perfect timing i just bought the into the dark boxset
lots of good tricks in this and that terrain is great too!
Love it 👌
This is awesome! I'm super stoked for boarding action and want use this scheme. Killer!
Awesome video! I've been wanting to up my scenery/terrain lately 😄
Fantastic stuff!
Wow perfect, I'm gearing up to start my into the dark stuff soon and this looks awesome
Great vid and love the look of that terrain
Really nice paint job on that fantasticly awesome terrain! Bought!
Looks insane
Like your style 😊
The use of liquid mask, genius.
Nice video. I like the design and the painted look of the terrain.
Awesome 👍
Oh, very nice guide

Please make Steve a regular on the channel!
synthetic brushes and white spirit/sansador, for enamel washes
The real question is, when are you guys appearing on The Painting Phase?
Beautifully grimy
guy, i wanted to thank you for the time i had a kidney stone. your speed paint techniques cleared that up. i never drank from a sketchy mug ever again.
Looking good! One question: Why bother with the liquid mask if you can also just sponge metallic paint over the yellow door?
Wow these walls looking better than the Gw ones 😂
Pencil eraser work great for removing small pieces of liquid mask
My local hobby shop has 2 kits of the boarding action terrain. Not sure if thats what this is, or is inspired from; I was super tempted, but I'm more in love with the dimachaeron... I fell in love with that sculpt; I could have so much fun detailing and painting that thing... that comes first, lol.
So happy Rahul has made it onto the channel! Looks like he's leaning towards a melee army, think you might need to introduce him to my friends, The World Eaters. Skulls for the skull throne!
excellent work. crap that I bought the whole set of STLs yesterday, though 😞
He also designed them? They are so cool Looking!
Love your vids guy gonna be big in the KZread scene some day
I'm not into painting as fast as possible, this is my creative hobby time after all, but the little things like masking fluid an blue tack are genius, can't get on with chipping medium.
Some great great tricks inhere! I do things way easier and quicker because it is just terrain but this is an awesome video alone for all the tips how to use these different products.
Amazing tutorial and what a result, this looks better than probably any of my miniatures! Sadly I just don't have the patience nore the time to invest in a single terrain piece. MM has always been my favorite channel for the beginner friendly and streamlined focused tutorials. Videos like this are great, but I hope Guy keeps doing some tutorials focused on people with less time or resources. I've always shown MM's channel to people coming into the hobby because of the accessibility of the speedpainting and easy to do videos. Even the how to play 9th edition is the best I've seen on YT and hope for a new one with 10th! One of my concerns with social media is that there are so many great but intimidating videos by hobby professionals that some beginners are lead to believe that it's expected to invest 50 hours in one model and this channel has always done a great job of showing that the hobby can be fun, easy and accessible. I hope you don't forget that and still mix in something for the not so talented or dedicated sometimes. Either way, love all your videos and thanks for the amazing content!

Heartily agree. Very impressive results from a Golden Demon winner, but not really practical for me - someone who getting a full board of terrain finished to pretty much ANY level would be a massive effort in a time constrained life. Quick and dirty for me, all the way ;-)
Dude puts more effort on a door than I do on a model :O

I do like the idea of this video being easy for beginners in the sense that the techniques don't require much skill. However, in my case as a beginner I think it would be more valuable to me to see a video that doesn't take much special supplies/materials, even if it takes more skill to execute.
Great video. The video production is quality is nice and Steve is an excellent hobbiest and teacher . Big Sexy Steve.
I feel bad now, "SIMPLE", the effort put in to those doors is what I'm able to put into my best minis. 😅🤣
how much extra do you think Steve would charge to print these out for me if I pay shipping? I can't really justify saving up for a 3d printer just for one (admittedly awesome) set of terrain

I'm not sure! I think he's actually semi-seriously considering casting some resin models for the most popular bits, so... watch this space maybe?
I feel this guy has painted Imperial Fists.
Always a pleasure to watch Guy's videos ! And while it's always sad to reach the end, the ending music theme is so cool it's still pleasant to the very last second :D

Now I just need to buy 20 paints I don't already have
try ammo lucky matt varnish
I'm here before the Discord announcement!
I wish I was a terrain piece
Should I apply some varnish once I am done painting my terrain? If so which kind? :)
As an American I don't think we have blue tack. What's a good alternative material or technique for removing masking fluid?
More Rust for Rust God! !!
Is that the guy who made Lillibet?
I don't get the Dirty Down to react. Warmed it, shook it well, nothing. All I get is a dark brown coverage. What can I improve?
The paintjob is solid, but the promo code is... ❤
