Thanks Henry and Andy. Another top listen.

Haha, Henry actually nailed it what I was going for with his yellow example. Also struggled asking the question because I hate the word "shortcut". But yeah in army painting I feel like there's often schemes or techniques that are made out to be way more complicated than they need to be. Putting people off to get an army or idea off the ground. In heresy the amount of "I want to play x faction but painting x puts me off" is endless

Steve

I'm glad I'm not the only one that bounced off siocast. The experience of getting a mini that's buildable and paintable without feeling like you're fighting it makes such a difference

Hi Guys, in regards to submission for MPO in Bristol, are you allowing submission both days or will there be a cut off? (Returning from Japan the saturday morning of the event so might be a struggle to submit same day)

Nick

Great video as always! As someone who started following you all about 2 years ago I was curious are there currently any plans to release the Deoguard I models again or someway to get ahold of them? Would love to take a crack at painting them. In any case thanks for all the great content, you guys make the hobby a better place.

Rob Cass

Great vid again thanks both. Really looking forward to the new Deorgard release. Some more questions in response to this video: (1) Can you explain the exact meaning of the 'scale' of a miniature? Is it as simple as saying that a 54mm mini is 54mm from head to foot, and that a 1:10 miniature is one tenth the size of what it would be 'in real life', or is there more to it than that? (2) Are there any plans for Andy to do an NMM tutorial for really beaten, worn, weathered and/ or rusty metal? It might be a nice alternative to the high sheen NMM we usually see on the Internet in general. (3) (Apologies if this question is too technical): I'd really love to know how Andy uses the Photoshop colour picker/ dropper tool to pull out colours from reference photos and put them in blobs/ swatches directly on the image, as it is so helpful in developing colour schemes. I've tried so many ways to find this out on the Internet but am still coming up empty. (4) - (From the comments section on Andy’s ‘Top Tips’ video): I would be interested to know how you deal with the ‘loss of momentum’ issue that you said can happen when you put a piece down for too long - do you have strategies, or is it always just mothballed? Apologies for always having a long list of questions 😂. Cheers again guys and hope your arm gets better soon Andy.

In regards to gathering references and the minefield that is AI stuff, the card game Magic the Gathering has some excellent references of form, color and composition. They have a little something for everyone, with ranges of style, color, genre, etc. You can find them both by searching card database websites and by looking at galleries of artists who've done work for the game. Karl Kopinski is a big name that's done a fair few cards for them, but all of the cards (at least that I have seen) have been generally excellent.

Jens Schneider

Great episode guys, as always. Looking forward to both the army updates and the box arts!

CosySlippers

Agreed on siocast. It's a bit of a shame. Questions for next time: have you tried, or are you interested in trying, painting fully with oils, not just for technical effects? And what are your thoughts/experiences with art store acrylics, like Golden Soflat, Liquitex acrylic gouache etc? Thanks!

Michael Birchwood

Brilliant chat, as always. Andy's insights about framing the art are spot on - I immediately noticed the triangles and parallel lines on the Eldar diorama 👍 Question: Now that my painting is starting to improve (mainly down to CoP content) there are some minis I'd love to go back and repaint. Andy always says "...so I stripped it and started again" (and laughs) in such a matter of fact way it hides the fact it's probably quite traumatic and I bet you have to do it really carefully. Would either of you consider doing a video of how you'd go about stripping/reprepping a model?

Thanks for answering my question re; paintin n filmin. It’s hard to say what my exact issues were (I mean, I know but it doesn’t matter so much) but you both provided great answers. The key take away I got was: Try and get the shot to demonstrate your point then move on, don’t paint the whole model. And set up a stage so you can move the camera, be flexible, keep it in focus. Looking forward to the next one!

Love these episodes! I've got a question: in Andy's Steorra Part 2 video he glazes to smooth the transition between painted on layers. Is it better to: A- glaze with the darker colour and brush from light to dark B- glaze with the lighter colour and brush from dark to light C- either works, just pick one and don't overthink it? I've used this in the past but never really known if there's a "best" way to do it Cheers!
