Island of Blood Clanrats youtube clip one
Here's a test trial of a video painting tutorial concept that I'm trying out. The background music didn't work this time... but I'll fix that up for the next ones (which are coming shortly). Feedback is welcome, and please check out my channel at miniwargaming.com

Sometimes I just have to sit in awe at how efficiently you work to construct a good-looking unit without getting bogged down on any one individual model. I read that everywhere, "focus on the unit as a whole" and see varying degrees of success, but you seem to nail it every time. Awesome stuff.
ReplyDeletethanks for the video tour Paul! the rats look great and you made it seem like a simple thing to paint 20 rats! looking forward to the other models.
ReplyDeleteHey, how long did it take you to do this?
ReplyDeleteI'm looking to paint 140 odd of these guys... with white too.
Do you have any suggestions for a simple way to do this? I've never seen such a detailed tutorial, this will help a bunch thanks!
@benton.english - This batch took the better part of a day, but the second set of 20 was about half that time. If you have them assembled just start with a decent brown spray and use some washes and you'll be half way there.
ReplyDeleteOkay, well that's somewhat encouraging I think. My rats are going to be white... haha
ReplyDeleteRight now I'm spraying them with GW white, then washing with Gryphonne Sepia, then highlighting with Deneb stone and then a hightlight of skull white. Do you have any methods for making this simpler? Thanks.
@benton.english - if you can spray them with something other than white it might help (ie, a light brown)... otherwise I'd suggest mixing a bit of paint with the gryphonne sepia (one of the browns). That will give you a bit more of a shade but will still go on easy. Washes over white (in my experience) tend to be hard to highlight.
ReplyDeleteI really like your Skaven; they're a particularly good example of how a quickly-painted army can be remarkably effective. The use of the Reaper MSP Rosy Flesh triad was inspired, and I fully intend to steal the idea for my own army. I do have a question about the spray paint you used: you mentioned that it was Krylon brown boots, but you didn't mention the formulation. Was it their Fusion technology, or just their regular spray?
ReplyDelete@olorin - I used the regular formulation. I haven't tried the fusion stuff yet, but I hear it works well.
ReplyDeleteI've always been nervous about using anything as primer unless it said "primer". Do you have any problems with the spray getting scraped off? Prior to seeing your video, I'd been planning to get the Army Painter Leather Brown primer (which is about twice the price of the Krylon), but now I'm undecided. Any thoughts?
ReplyDelete@olorin - I've used all sorts of different sprays without any issue. The only thing you need to worry about is putting it on too thick, but that goes for all sprays, primer or not.
