Hi guys,

We will be recording the next episode of Culture of Paint this Friday ( I will add the link in another post).

Same format where it is live for Patreon subscribers. Our main topic this week is going to be about the intimidation factor in painting some miniatures. So if you've any examples or questions surrounding this please add them to the comments and we will cover them.

We'll also be taking some time in segment 3 to take a look at what you've all been up to. So make sure to use the hashtag #paintcultist on any social media platform you use so that we can take a look.

Cheers, Henry

I get intimidated by models with many seperate bits and small details, something like Mortarion for 40K or the Triumph of St Catherine. I feel like I'm going to miss something. How do you prep/plan for this?

Philip Leadbitter

Putting off painting something because you think you'll ruin it (certainly something I've done) and telling yourself you're going to practise x skill on something else and then never really do. What ways are there to change ones thinking around this/not ruining a project but still doing it. Hope that all makes sense XD

The model thats intimidating me the most is sanguinius and his display base. The thought of trying to nail all the nmm and not messing it up also picking the right colours for the demon to contrast sanguinius but also not to look out of place can be very intimidating.

Models with larger areas put me off. Things that I don't want to tackle with the airbrush but always do. Things like fabrics or skin. The model I'm most looking forward to but also dreading from the kickstarter is the hunter with all that skin. I'd love to paint it with a brush but just know ill lose my rag and go to the airbrush.

Larger minis with skin tones. Scares me to death as there are so many amazing minis out there and mine just look flat and er, shit. Maybe not THAT bad. Also models with alot of NMM.

I'd love to get your toughts or pointers on how to mass paint fantasy armies with large amount of skin, like chaos marauders or ogres etc and how you'd go about painting the arms etc, I'm ok with painting faces but I really struggle painting muscles

I bought Bress the Barbarian from Black Sun Miniatures a while ago but except a base coat and some initial airbrush, it’s just sat there as I haven’t felt good enough to do it. To counter that I’ve purchased a load more expensive busts so he doesn’t feel so special 😂. He’s my next mini and I’m feeling good except for nmm which I screwed up last time I tried. So I guess some thoughts on not trying things on major items and practising ha just going for it. I’m a just go for it person! But it doesn’t always work out well! Also some thoughts/experiences of painting a bit more freely and loosely l, rather than planning every detail for ages before starting.

Going from painting warhammer scaled miniatures to busts... got my first bust to try and its all ready to go... just nervous about the up scale of it, getting the skin right...

I'm new here, can these streams be rewatched at a later date? I'll be at work when you go live 😢

In the words of Montgomery C Burns..."Excellent!" Thanks for let me know. Keen as.

Hey Andy and Henry :) I just started to paint my old Warhammer Fantasy miniatures again, and I would love to see you guys paint some: - Dark elves (cold one knights, Lords/Heroes) or - Night Goblins/goblin wolf riders (or some Gloomspite Gitz). I am a little nervous about painting them because I want to be a better painter. But I am colorblind (red/green) and not skilled enough to choose the right colors, so I learn a lot by seeing other people paint; so, it would be a massive help to see you guys paint some or something similar: I know you guys made the 'Squig' PDF tutorial which is really good! But I learn a lot by seeing your skills in action! Just a wish from me :D Anyway, I love seeing your videos and how you guys paint! It is really nice to see someone so skilled, and the video production/tutorials are really good :) Cheers from a fan from Denmark

One thing I've always wanted to know, considering the extremely high level you both paint at, how do you know when a model is done? Or rather, how do you stop wanting to make small changes to it after you get to a point where it could be done?

Kevin Cobban

Hello Cult fam! As an unexperienced painter, painting new objects or materials can be really intimidating because I don't know what colors will produce the result I'm looking for. How to you guys prepare for painting something you're unfamiliar in order to alleviate some of the intimidation? For example, I recently painted some Sylvaneth and was struggling to paint realistic wood and leaves. I'm used to painting 40k minis, which don't have many natural elements. It was pretty stressful and I felt like scraping my paint job several times throughout the process. thanks in advance!

Something I find challenging with almost every piece is colour selection, I want to do something both unique and tasteful but sometimes feel like I can’t come up with anything I’m happy with and default to something archetypical of whatever the subject matter happens to be, or worse, to the box art. How do you approach colour selection and is there anything I can do to make the process easier so I can’t stop over thinking it as much? PS, loved the first episode, it’s great to finally have a show which is just pure painting discussion and insight from some great hobbyists.

Would really like to know more about dealing with hand painting white details, either small or larger surfaces, when the models lends itself to an initial airbrush in darker colours. I struggle so much to get white looking consistent and flat without brush marks!
