Thanks again to Atomic Mass Games for sending us this review copy of Star Wars: Shatterpoint! If you're interested in learning more follow this link: bit.ly/EonsofBattle_SWP

As someone who volunteered to demo games at a convention, let me tell you, teaching the same game roughly every 30 minutes was awful, particularly if you hate one of the mechanics. My only saving grace was that the company was demoing multiple games, and I could change what I teach.

The "Save The President" game start announcements at UK Gencons were stupidly intrusive.

When I use oils for a wash I thin it out until it has the flow of an ink. Then instead of applying it onto the whole model, I carefully apply it only to the areas I want shaded. This targeted method of applying your oil washes means you have less to clean up and it also saves you oil paint.

Yeah same. I think his washes were more like just thinned oil paint not a wash. Mine is like water when I use it.

I second that. Needs to be thinned to flow into the crevices and lessen its binding power

Agree that Jay's first washes looked too thick. A few tips which work for me: 1. spraying the basecoat with an acrylic gloss varnish first, 2. putting the oil paints on a piece of cardboard to pull out some of the linseed oil before making the wash 3. Letting the wash dry for 2-4 hrs instead of overnight before the removal step.

This is the way

Entire video is Jay telling us good ideas and then showing us where slightly more obsessed but typical ideas get you... Working on minis late in the evening for a small (possibly negligible) benefit. My hobby self lives vicariously through you Jay!

Jay, next time you try oil washes don't forget to gloss varnish the models, it protects the paint so it won't come off when you're removing the oils

It also reduces surface tension so thinned oils seek the crevices better.

Man, I'm struggling to pick up a brush after basically a year of not painting due to a bit of depression after my dog passed away under really rubbish circumstances, but seeing how quickly those mini's came together was inspirational, and I might take some ques in painting some legion stuff with this quick and streamlined method. Been a pleasure watching as always.

if i was your dog i would have been excited to see what new things you paint

Amazing job, and awesome video! Love that your energy and enthusiasm DID NOT dip at all! I bet it felt painful at times, but only the love came through on the camera.

Awesome job! I really like how you have the clock in the background so people can see how long you took painting each model. I personally feel thats a kinda important detail that a lot of people leave out. A good paint job can take a long time, even when using shortcuts like the airbrush and rattle cans.

My dude out here mentioning my fav game Root as I am not over here trying to see if I want to get into shatterpoint! You’re selling me on this!

Nice! Thank you for making this, I enjoyed how you mix various paints & painting techniques!

This is such great inspiration man! I'm painting up Ahsoka and the Clan Kryze Mandalorians for a store, and just the four of them have taken me the same amount of time it took you to paint the whole box! Great work as always!

I am amazed at your ability to paint quickly and get very nice looking, interesting, bright, impactful models. Very nice!

I can’t wait for this one. I love the design, the setting, the characters…I’m really looking forward to it

I love this video and will definitely form the basis for when I get my hands on the box and begin the mammoth task of getting everything painted.

Oh man, seeing all the paint on top of your wet pallete lid was so validating. I have the same brand and its equally covered in paint layers from every time I couldnt be bothered to actually use it as intended

Great painting! It looks so smooth and lightly applied!

You need to thin your oil paints before washing, down to the same consistency as if you were going to airbrush them. Before applying thinned oil paints you need to hit the surface with a water based gloss varnish. I use rustoleum. This allows the wash to run quickly down crevices and angles, filling the gaps with the desired shading effect. The gloss surface also makes it easier to wipe up unwanted oil, as the surface doesnt have much tooth. Thinner oil paint is also a lot easier to wipe up. It also dries and cures much faster than pure oil paints. Cheers and good luck!

Great work Jay. The models look like they're lifted right out of a comic book and I love it.

Gar Saxon looks great. I saw the voice actor sadly passed away today. Dude was a bad ass

Cant wait to Get my copy! Finna follow Your painting guide for this! Great video😁✌🏻

really glad to hear your opinion of the game itself has come around. I was bummed to hear you didn't enjoy the demo you played but now I'm much more interested to play!

Im hyped for this game. I love Legiom but having demoed Shatterpoint several times, I can confidently say they appeal to me in different ways and both have a place in my lineup

Wow wow wow. Wow! Shatterpoint painting guides are tight!

Jay, more shatterpoint please 😊. There are so many cool expansions we'd love to see you paint!

I’m not really a Star Wars fan or even really a war games fan and this video just randomly popped up on my recommended but your energy and enthusiasm just made me subscribe

Looks so sick love the clone wars would be so cool to play them out on the table

Taking your advice on the terrain and using tan spray can paint, then going to do the detailing with a brush. Will update with progress, but your video had been a great help getting the Shattering box done.

My copy of Shatterpoint arrived today. This video is exactly what I need. No way I'll be as fast as you, but definitely provides a great guide.

This is literally one of the coolest videos I’ve ever seen the paint you did was actually so impressing to me I loved this

These minis look amazing...great job!

This is your greatest video (I've watched)! So many techniques shown and the pacing was awesome, well done mate !

I am learning so much watching you paint.

Killed it with that Anakin model, looks dope, magenta/brown inks done good 👍

I'm so hyped for this game I've watched this video twice now because I ran out of other good shatterpoint youtube videos to watch

Super excited to get started painting and play this game

Dillute oil paints with white spirit to avoid issues.

you should try some house painting brushes for dry brushing large stuff! if you know a painter, ask for a worn out one, it might make cooler/different textures

The description of the characters was chefs kisses 😙👌

That pitch meeting reference was super easy, barely an inconvenience

Im super excited to get my hands on this. Really, my only concern is the mission packs. I can see the one in the starter getting a bit dull over time. So future packs are going to need to bring something special to the table.

10:07? Your rooster must have slept in 😂

Regarding the oil paints, you probably should have applied a gloss varnish before hand as to seal off the acrylic paint then finished it with a matte varnish once you were happy with the results.

ik love this. the droids and clones look sick. pls do more starwars stuff :-)

GREAT VIDEO! Dude you have alot of talent. Painting all that in 2 days I think I would be going blind after a while! lol. Congrats!!

Good gaming company that respects its customers would have released this as a ruleset for Legion models, in the same scale. They could have made a box set with some unique sculpts (like cool-looking battle damaged storm troopers or whatever)

It might have been said before, but spray the model/scenery with a gloss or satin varnish to seal and protect the paint before using an oil wash. The varnish will also help the oils get into the recesses.

I really like your personality and your painting is amazing!

I played a demo at my LGS last Saturday and had a great time!

For oil wash, gloss coat first, then do oil wash (or matte coat for more grunge) and dillute the oil paint with spirits before you slosh it on. You have around 15 minutes after application for it to be dry enough to wipe off but not dry enough that it adheres

New to the channel. Love the energy. And fantastic guide.

Great video!! love the paint jobs!

The comedy in the first minute and a half is top notch. If this painting thing doesn't work out, you have options

More things in the miniature modelling world need to be super-easy and barely an inconvenience.

I'd love to see you do a painting guide for these

I wish there was an option to have these already painted, I just don't have those skills. Looks great.

If you want to be able to remove oils easily, your surface has to be satin at a minimum (preferably glossy). This usually means varnishing before you apply oils (a lot of hobby acrylics are matte). If you put oils on a matte surface, pigment will settle into the microscopic texture of the underlying paint resulting in a stained appearance. Also, you can thin your oil paints with mineral spirits before you apply them to the model to save you some effort and product.

Oils really need to done as a ink thickness and 100% must varnish first

Realmente muito bom, apesar de ter saído do tempo a pintura ficou fenomenal

your first oil paint terrain "wash" was like 400% thicker than I've ever seen it used xD

I had a great time watching this video! Good on ya mate!

I wouldn't add an oil wash unless it had a high gloss coat first. It really helps take it off.

New to the channel and wanting to get back into painting again. Think this product is what is going to get me mask into it! Do you have videos for beginners, I'm about to start looking!

Love the videos. Keep up the great work!!!

I have fallen in love with your channel. You gave me the bravery to use oil washes for the first time

LOL i got a chuckle at you just completely covering your work in un-thinned oil paints. Thin them. Use mineral spirits and never apply it directly out of the tube. Also, don't wait till it's completely dry to start removing. Wait 30 mins or so.

Great video!

These look amazing, as always I love your energy. Sad though to hear about Ray Stevenson, Gar Saxon's voice actor passing.

"You know these are the good mandolorians because they are blue!" Death Watch: 😈

I pre ordered this box and I am so excited for it. I am honestly more excited about this game than 10th edition. But, in my defense I was born in 1977 and grew up with Star Wars and am a bit of a Star Wars simp.

Shatterpoint looks fun

Once i finish painting up my current project i'm torn between getting Shatterpoint or Halo Flashpoint... 🤔

I never knew this game existed, nor did I know your channel existed. Nevertheless I hunkered down and watched the whole video. You did a great job and your personality made the time fly by. You just gained a subscriber. Keep up the great content!

Disappointed when looking at some Shatterpoint boxes that there are repeat poses, like with the droids in the starter box. You'd think with each "group" being very small in number that they would all have unique poses.

How did you do the bases ? Was rapidly covered but they look so good !

This video is brilliant, the only thing I'd do differently is add the commander colours to one of the droids in each of their trifectas. But that's just me

The demo at Adepticon wasn't even close to how game play actually is. The game is pretty amazing. The struggle tracker is a bit clunky, but overall the game is fantastic.

I wish you showed more paints you used. Like the bases, the blue on theclones etc

Gotta use satin or gloss varnish with oil washes. Makes life' so much easter

I'm not a painter. I was really hoping they were pre painted as they looked so good. I frequently buy board games just for the minis 😂 Maybe I need to learn how to paint Side note: how much for you to paint all mine /s

You said it was an oil wash but you just mixed oil paints and painted it on opaque without thinning it...

I'm still undecided on this game. It looks like fun, and I love star wars, but I've got sooooo many miniatures already waiting for me to paint them. 😅

Thin that oil paint down foo. I've been house Painting for 10+ years and never painted a miniture in my life but looking forward to it. Pretty much everything I know translates to miniatures as well lol. But oil must be thinned down for sure.

what to you use the hold the modles on the squares while you piant them?

The extra time you spent on the terrain was entirely worth it

"Little Orphan Annie" I CANT- 😂😂😂

Cool work man 👌🏻

Does the box of shatterpoint come with terrain? cus if so, that's cool

The oil paint on our left arm looks decent tho

Keep the good stuff coming. I like seeing the Non-GW content.

It's actually "death knell", that's a common mistake because of the idiomatic similarity to a "coffin nail" or the "final nail in the coffin". The death knell was the second bell ringing, signalling the death of the individual for whom the bell tolls. The first denoted the decline and imminent death of the person and the third was rung out at their funeral.

I have had bad results using makeup sponges to remove oil paint. They must be infused with some chemical that penetrates makeup, because they pulled the paint off down to the bare metal, so oil, acrylic and lacquer in multiple layers. Makeup applicator sponges don't do this but they're also not optimal for big terrain pieces. A soft brush would probably be the best bet.

Which brush did u use for drybrush? thanks! I love it!
