I love his videos, maybe the best on this site in my opinion, I wouldn’t have done this one if I’d known he’d just released one. Just noticed he’s just done a Comet tool, which is my next FOW one 😂, oh well.

Very good. I use a 3-1 mix of Agaros Dunes and Garaghaks Sewer for the uniforms, makes a good English Uniform contrast paint substitute

Thank you. That’s sounds like a good mix, I’ll give it a try. I can imagine it does a great job of getting a close match without needing a highlight if you didn’t want to do it.

I contrast paint my 15mm WW2 and I love that you release these guides for nations I have not figured out schemes for (I am east front focused).

Thank you. I’m tempted to try and work out a speed version for most common nations/uniforms, using mostly only Contrast/Speedpaint etc. Maybe just in one video in the future. Right now I’m using it just to base coat where it can save some time and also be a good base to highlight from. What schemes have you been using for your Eastern Front armies?

Love to hear how you do the bases
@MiniatureRealms
Жыл бұрын
Of course, it’s super simple and easy, just a few elements. Start with a layer of Vallejo Earth Texture - Dark Earth, once dry add a thin coat of Agrax Earthshade (enough to shade but not overly pool). I then brush in dry pigment, I use Vallejo Light Sienna on these bases. I find the trick here is to make sure the pigment gets into the crevices, even over the boots of the men. I blow away the excess, and what you’re left with is something closer to a more realistic earth than brown paint and a drybrush gets you, the pigment gives you more realised textures. After this I add 2mm tufts for this scale, I currently get mine from Warpaint Figures in the UK. Also then tend to add a few spots of Vallejo Thick Mud - European Mud. This stuff is more of a diorama effect than the ‘Earth Texture’ (which is more of a base layer). When applied thick it looks like wet mud, when used sparingly it looks less wet, so I add more if I want it to look wet etc, but find at this scale it just adds a little variation to the bases. Now that’s a lot of text and instruction, but each stage is super easy, and I find I prefer the look to the more old school pva/sand/paint/drybrush/add flock look.

It’s quite expensive, but I find it goes a long way. Army Painter Speedpaint is cheaper and good, and I’m looking forward to trying Vallejo’s own version soon.

I’m very curious on the basing. What particular tufts did you use? I just never seem to get a mix that doesn’t detract from my painting.

I’m using Warpaint Figures (UK) 2mm tufts most of the time right now, normally a mix of Dead Grass and Autumn.

I’ve had some for a while now, but I think these ones are from Warpaint figures, they do them to match all their tuft scales I think, so 2mm, 4mm and 6mm.

Thank you. Out of interest what sort of Battlefront terrain video? I didn’t have anymore planned after covering the roads and buildings, wasn’t sure I could stretch that angle any further, but open to ideas as they’re fun to do. Definitely still taking commissions, but very booked up next year, but a lot of that depends on the size and type of work. If you like to chat about something send me a message via one of my social media links or email, they’re all in the video description.
