This is one of the first painting tutorials I've seen that not only shows a majority of the process but also seems genuinely accessible with attainable (and great looking) results. Well done, good sir! I actually feel motivated to paint today :)

Agreed really inspirational 👏

This technique really changed my confidence level for painting. Great to get it out to all the people that are on the fence about starting to paint their miniatures. And Yes,,, Scrape those Mold lines!! Nice work! Those giant goblins look great! 😉

I really like that flesh colour and the pink lip is a good touch and so simple. Never used any of the techniques here but its looking good especially for orks as there's so many of them

Great video. Straightforward and no-nonsense for those that don't like all the faffing about with typical painting (such as myself). Love it!

Slapchop really has changed the game for mini painting. I'm a fairly decent and confident painter in the "Traditional" Method. But my god do i love this. Half the time and results are just as good. Beautiful work my friend!

Such a great tutorial! Thank you!!

This really helped me!! Thank you so much for the tips!

Can’t wait to try this!

Slap chop and AP speed paints has became my favorite. After the edges and highlights each mini takes me 25-35 minutes but they look great. As a board gamer mainly this is awesome.

Happy to see the mettalic style you've found looks great, looking forward to happens next

Looks awesome. Really like the antique looking patina with the contrast paints. Have just bought my very first miniature, an Ork Scrapjet which I will be trying this method ...

Wow, absolutely fantastic tutorial! Concise but also made sure to show everything you need to do, great time stamps, and great idea to print out that little painting stand. I’m probably gonna print one out later this week. Hopefully this technique will help me reduce my pile of shame, thanks!

Love your attitude and the humble narration. OH and your stuff looks awesome too!

Great to see the process start to finish. I enjoyed watching your streams last week. Watched them all while slap chopping Gore Gruntas and Manskewer boltvoyz for a tournament here in Calgary, Canada.

To be perfectly honest, we did not have anything like contrast paints or speedpaints 2.0 or express paints readily available in 90s. Acrylics themselves were very limited in ranges and mediums and thickness =) Slap chop is not working as good with just thinned down acrylic paint.

This is simply fantastic as a way to show people the full method step by step. Will share this if anyone ask what I do in the hobby

Thanks for the videos! I always enjoyed painting, but haven’t done it for a while. I got excited about it again watching your videos and have a plate full of minis all primed black waiting for me to try some “razzle-dazzle”! 😁

Hey thats awesome, happy painting 🙂

Orks have _always_ made brilliant palettes for drybrushing; 20-odd years ago, my Ork flesh playbook was dark green basecoat, drybrush up with a lighter green and then an ink wash to tie it together and add to the shading!

Looking grungy and great!!!!! I keep mine dark as well, and dessert-ish..... GORKA MORKA WAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHH

Oh Ye Gods .... I'd almost lost the will to live with painting and now I seem to have fallen over The Holy Grail on how to do it quickly, efficiently and also to a very high standard. I salute you. Subscribed.

Thanks for the awesome vid! Heard of this tech ique recently. Will for sure try!

Wow, I am exactly like you, have a bunch of dark Eldar made up but am dreading the painting stage - not any more!

I have to agree with you they look cool just dry brushed. I think you should definitely try painting the clothes and leaving the skin grey on one of them 🤔

Really impressive - definitely a technique that punches far above its 'effort weight' if that makes any sense. I'm dead keen on the traditional approach for contrast and cleanliness reasons and generally dislike other techniques involving a simple dry brush or speed-paint method, however, you just cannot argue with these results - definitely would consider this for a more organic / skin / cloth type of model.

Very enjoyable to watch. I knew about the slapchop technique but first I have seen it used on metalic parts like you do. The rust effect is great for the tile involved . Great work 👍 first time viewer > +1 sub

You've taken a big shine to the method!

I was remaining a bit old fashioned and stingy with the new contrast paints, barely got any, but that technique with that outcome really makes me want to invest and give it a go, that looks incredible!!

I've been painting for almost 3 years (not a lot of painting done though) and this looks better than most of my work. Slapchop really is magic.

Speedpaint and Citadel Contrast have mediums you can mix with other paints to make them sort of behave like the speedpaints and contrast paints

Definitely gonna try this out on my one big mean 3D printed Ork, or at least on his skin, because that's the one contrast paint I got.

Amazing. As a new painter and someone who has a neuro issue that causes weakness in my support hand, this is a game changer. So well presented. Thank you so much!

Good tutorial. Nice way to get an army done. Must agree about the skin tone, I love it. Think I'll have to have a go to see how fast I can get Boyz done. 🙂

The little mixture you use for decorating the base, what is that? Really makes a nice awesome looking base in such a simple way

Great video, just curious which contrast paints you used for the brown and black please.

3 - 4 hours, i can spend more than that on a single model. But i 100% agree with you, when you have whole army/box/ or just a unit to paint. 3-4 hours / model can be hard to find motivation for, and even more so if you are new to painting, and you results don't really match up with the quality of the box art. The slapchop works great with contrast paints. i have not tried it myself, but for getting an army painted and battle ready, your results are great =)

Given you flocked the base before mounting da boy, did you pin his feet or something? Because I can't see just gluing him to the flock being a secure fix.

Great video!! My zombicide Undead or Alive KS just arrived and I have tons of minis to paint :) I was wondering if I could use watered down regular paints (not contrast) over the dry brushed mini and AP's washes?

Great video. Very informative. Have you ever had the soft tone dry in quite a gloss finish? It happens to me too regularly and I don't know why. Anyone else know? Is it to do with how much I shake it?

Great tutorial, I’ve only recently started painting and this is definitely food for thought. Love the printed miniature holder! I the file downloadable by any chance?

Thanks for a great guide! Could someone list the paint names used in this model?

Thanks for the video great fun and enjoy the Orcs LOL. 🙂Thomas over at The Model Hobbyist

what type of makeup brushes do you buy for the dry brushing is there a certain type?

Amazing video, newly started painter and this has helped a TONNE. Question, what specifically is in the box you use for your bases? E.g. what products do I need to make that mix.

I've gone through a season of "traditional" painting (layer/wash/highlight/etc) and am getting back into some slapchop, so this was fun to watch. Question: How do get the git onto the base securely? Do you put some glue over the flocking and then glue the ork on top of the glue or just glue directly onto the grass?

You don't thin the contrast paints?

Anyone recommend some brushes? Maybe a tutorial on care of them also. I am finding my fine ones split. Very much a new painter.

Great video sir.Well explained 👏. Would it be possible for a similar vid but beginner's using an airbrush if possible. Keep up the good work

Nice technique, but can I find some site or app to combine collors?

Instead of dull blade, you can try to use the unsharpened side of a blade, it works for me

What black gor belt and colour legs?

Hi there, I'd love to see this done on age of sigmar lumineth as they are usually clean scheme and well curious can slap chop work on them?

Awesome video! I just ordered speed paint to try this. Can you share stl file of that handle?

Ok, slapchop it is then. Good tutorial.

My plaguebearer flesh came out a completely different shade of green, more camo green than a green brown.

So this technique really only works with translucent paints, right? Have you tried thinning standard paints to a translucent consistency and using those instead?

What brown did you use for the leather straps? Also why is your drybrush so smooth? It looks really good that way.

Note for drybrushing, dampen your brush before getting paint and do not use a paper towel. It will get rid of that chalky look.

Ah the magic of dry brushing

maybe you're taking too much paint off of the brush as silly as it sounds, you don't have to go as dry on the grey layer. It could also be the type of brush, try using a makeup brush as the bristles are very soft.

You said that you use cheap primer. Wasn't it melting edges etc? Or wasn't it too smooth for later painting? I use army painter and citadel primers but they are 5 times more expensive then standard sprays:-)

Halfords has some pretty solid primer. The white one is a bit hit and miss, but the matt black primer is real solid so long as you don't spray too much - if you do it'll goop up. But otherwise it's good.
