I love that green colour for orcs and goblins.

Tip for painting eyes:
use a toothpick or sewing pin instead of a brush.
A toothpick won't fold sideways upon contact with the model, and you're less likely to mess it up and have to repaint.

For Ork eyes i usually use some mephiston red then dot the centre with some evil sunz scarlet

Loving the fact you're doing Heroquest, I also have the game & just about to start painting them as well.😊

@minibang2543 2 years ago

Those orks look amazing! Love them. Will you ever maybe make a speedpaint tier list?

@Dannydarko27 2 years ago

Thanks for these, i love that you show us the colors you use too

I've found for the AP metallic speed paints, you really have to make sure they are mixed well. When not in use, they separate a lot, keep mixing until the heavier paint on the bottom is mixed in. I've found that a paint mixer that You-Tubers use works well for this. If mixed well, they do a great job IMO. There are a few Citadel Contrast/Technical paints that have the same problem with Tesseract Glow being the worst, you need a toothpick to stir that one.

And yes, I like when you show the colors.

Looking forward into watching you paint the skeletons and mummies.

I feel like the orc skin green would be a great green for super mutants from Fallout!

Hope your kids loved the game. If you are looking at D&D but a bit faster and less crunchy in terms of rules, Shadowdark is a great choice. I'm playing through the campaign first and then thinking about painting. The draw for me was a no prep game I could play solo or with the fam. So far, solo has been great.

Nice job on these, I'm feeling inspired to paint my set now.

Great job with that speed paint. Eyes are always a trick. Practice is the only real way to get better at eyes. That being said, don’t paint the mini looking head on. Give the subject a sideways glance so you’re not trying to give them a straight on stare.

@TheGrumpyOldCat 2 years ago

If you have issues wih the depth you can go a very easy route with eyes if they are a colored eye. touch the eye socket with a watered down white and then go over with a speed paint. It ends up giving it a gentle glow effect. As for actual eyes with a pupil i dont have a great recommendation other than its a lot of practicing and fixing mistakes and redoing.

Id like to see what you do with the Abomination minis. The orcs look really good.

Love these videos - keep coming back to them for content - Looking for where you got the STL for the Citadel pot holder - have seen a lot similar but this one looks a bit more robust than the others

@Rosko-o3m 2 years ago

I would enjoy seeing you paint the big Orc on the motorcycle. Keep it up and paint some more please.

@hereonmars 2 years ago

It's so crazy you're doing this now because I just bought the rerelease myself

@erin_is_hobbying 2 years ago

Always live showing the color you’re using. Just helps to see what they can do. I specifically bought Runic Grey after seeing you use it for denim on dem Boyz
