Mediocre Hobbies

My aim with this channel is to teach you how to paint your Warhammer or wargaming armies in a fast efficient way, getting them to a decent table top standard, without stress or an airbrush for the most part! I focus on miniature painting tutorials that are also suitable for beginners, with some tips to take them to the next level if desired. I also have a huge interest in 3D printing so I review products in order to recommend the best for you guys!

Every Tuesday and Thursday evenings 8-10PM Irish time I stream on Twitch!

    I think it is funny that genestealer cult heads look like Klingons almost... like the ones from the first season of star trek discovery (they had weird bald heads and more refined head plates)... you did an awesome paint scheme, if it was me I would have probably added some of the magos purple and mixed it into the highlight colours (ie kislev flesh and such) just to bring more purple hue into the skin...looking forward to your next video of course, and the one you do of the terrain, maybe you can then show off both killteams, instead of just the one model of each?

    Any tips for the consistency of the paint when stippling. I added the paint to a wet pallet and this must have made the paint too wet causing the stippling to smear in some places.

  • @MediocreHobbies
    @MediocreHobbies4 сағат бұрын

    Why did you use a wet pallet for a dry technique. Of course it smeared everywhere. It’s straight from pot to drybrush board. And then remove most of the paint. I suggest you watch the video again. And really watch how I take the paint off the board.

    @@MediocreHobbies I paint in an area where the paint dries out quickly so tend to use a wet pallette for everything to stop the paint from drying too quickly. I'll try from a pot but large dry brushes aren't easy to get into a pot or get an even distribution on the bristle.

    Do you have a video of how you go about picking what colors to use? Like matching your base colors which are contrast paints to your highlight colors which are the acrylics? Or do you just pick the scheme you want then choose a darker contrast paint to match the acrylic?

    Echoing what someone else here said: Great colour scheme and lore! I'm working on my own homebrew Chapter at the moment: THE SHARKS OF OMEN. Their name, a cheeky play on Arks Of Of Omen, started off as a placeholder.... BUT IT STUCK because it wasn't long before I realized that it fit the GrimDark way I wanted to paint them better than the other names I entertained. The Chapter is organized into 7 Schools named after the following, actual Shark sub-species (though two of the Chapter's Schools have modified names): 1. GREY REEF: The Characters, HQ, and Veterans 2. HAMMERHEAD: Aggressors and Terminators. 3. THRESHER: Intercessors 4. TAURUS: Assault Intercessors (I went with Taurus because "Bull School" sounded lame, but their School's insignia is a Bull's head) 5. TIGER: Outriders and Speeders. 6. CALIGINUS: Scouts, Reivers, Incursors, Infiltrators and Eliminators. Caliginus is a play on "caliginous", which means "dark, dim, murky, obscure, dusky" and there's a species CALLED the Dusky Shark. 7. MEGALODON: Warsuits, Dreadnoughts and Tanks. The Chapter's armour is coloured Abyssopelagic Grey (a custom colour of mine, essentially a deep/navy blue-green grey) with Black pauldrons, and glowing Orange lenses in the helmets. They're both Fleet- AND planet-based, their Homeworld an ocean planet called Pelagios whereupon their Fortress Monasteries and training facilities are situated. The Chapter draws recruits from the populations spread across the planet's 7 moons (Epos, Mesos, Bathyos, Abyssos, Hados, Demersos and Benthos).

    I’m new to all this painting stuff for 40K and I bought the new army speed paint 2.0 and I have no idea how to make this paint work, it seems way to liquidy, I don’t underhand how to thicken it up and actually make the colors look like they are suppose too..

  • @MediocreHobbies
    @MediocreHobbies12 сағат бұрын

    You need to be using a bright basecoat to make them work and you don’t want them thickened. Shake well and use them to get some nice basecoats on your models. I use contrast in most if not all of my videos. These are the speed paints from games workshop. I suggest you have a look at a few more of my videos to get an idea of what I mean.

    Watching and listening to you paint is so relaxing. This is a really sweet scheme, and the quartering effect is beautiful It would be interesting to see how this scheme would look on the chaplain of the Sentinels. Keeping the chaplains armour mostly black and not quartered, with a subtle use of muted oranges somewhere would be nice to watch. Please keep making these. It is educational to see how the same paint scheme looks across so many different armies and games
