Van Diemen's Devils - ANZAC-inspired Sci-Fi Miniatures [How I Paint Things]

Ойындар

Whether you're playing Warhammer 40,000 in a club or at home, or any number of other games featuring near- or even far-future science fiction weaponry and equipment, there's a wealth of miniatures manufacturers out there with massive ranges to choose from. Victoria Miniatures is one of them! This video isn't sponsored, I just really like what she does. The Van Diemen's Devils have been a long time favourite of mine, but given shipping from Australia... I've been hesitant to pull the trigger. Now that I can get some of the STLs required to get started on a force, all the better!

    Don’t know what it is but I’m a big fan of how relaxing your videos are. I do learn from them, of course (loved your IF with contrasts), but sometimes I’ll just zone out and watch/listen to your channel. Have spent a lot of time in hospital recently (nothing life-threatening - more a hassle these days) and I attribute you, a few other channels, and maybe the odd audiobook for actually allowing me to get some decent rest. Especially while in pain! It’s a compliment, I promise! Just wanted to say thank you.

    That's high praise! Hopefully the hassle has an end in sight - I had a couple of months in and out of hospital years ago and it was not a fun experience sitting around waiting to hear whether or not the whole bloody ordeal was over. 😅 Good luck!

    I like the colors you chose for the uniform as they look realistic. I have use The Army Painter Army Green and it is a very good color especially for 10-6 mm armor models. Thanks for sharing this.

    Excellent figure. I can see this working really well in a Traveller mid-tech setting.

    Yeah, most of the Victoria Miniatures stuff works really well as a kinda near-ish future, and it's not all grimdark, all the time. I'm hoping to see more STLs, but the physical range is already pretty bonkers!

    I've seen it done, was featured in a WD about 20 years ago. Yes, I'm old. I've been into the hobby since Craftworld Eldar wore chainmail, and carried lasguns.

    Great mini and great paint job! Looks like a fun mini to paint. I'm experiencing some dissonance trying to hold "minty" and "necrotic flesh" as related. "Minty flesh" - yum!

    STL files from Victorias Miniatures? 🎉 Now that sounds amazing. Always loved the sculpts but the price made me not go for them. Looks like this is changing now 😅

    This is another great tutorial. I'm more interested in the Fanatics line of paints, hey Sonic what would you recommend for a paint recipe for Pre-heresy Iron hands OR those black metallic stormcasts...also have you had a chance to play with the color Deathmetal from them? I was thinking of either going Deathmetal or a metallic black for my own custom marine chapter (converted like the deathwatch), was also looking at the color Abyssal blue. any thoughts that you might have would be appreciated.

    Victoria Miniatures look pretty cool, but unfortunately with their prices higher than even GW, it's a no-go for me.

    Yes we are making fun of Duncan Rhodes, because him trying to monopolize the term 'two thin coats' as a brand name is as stupid as Sony trademarking geometric shapes 🤣
