He's Joytoy counterpart is going to be expensive.

George is doing his best Zoolander impression with the Māori pronunciation. Great video as usual lads.

I'm curious what the light green sculpting medium is. Is it Greenstuff mixed with milliput or something similar?

So informative and engaging that the time flew by, this felt like a couple of minutes, not 13! It really illustrates the benefit of experience too; all of these models look amazing to me, but I could see what you pointed out wirh each (once it was pointed out) and I could clearly imagine each of the improvements suggested and how they would benefit each model. Now I'm off to paint something and test my suspicion that watching this video has made my painting brain bigger 😁

This critique video is excellent. Agreed with everything. Going back to watch episodes 1-3. Great stuff.

Thanks for the feedback guys, I think some of it I had come to the same conclusion myself regarding sponging etc. I would love to say the Pong display was my paintwork but its from a transfer sheet from Mighty Brush, just got lucky that it fit as well as it did. Now onto the next two sentinels!

Another great episode. And I’ll definitely be adopting that “magnet in cork” idea. One question: does Siege ever do commissions for non-GW minis? (I’ve pretty much only seen 40k ones on this channel). If not, is that just because of lack of demand for other brands? Or is there some other reason?

This was a great episode! But I am a little sad, that you had no better advice for speed building models. That's definately my least favourite part of the hobby 😅

I preordered this box for the Skaven. Trust Seige to get me excited about the Stormcast! Absolutely gorgeous models, folks.

Still waiting James 💰 After everything you did, do you really think I've got anything left to lose? I can get a lot louder 😁

I’m also interested in the colors used for the lord vigilant (and the warband).

would love to see how he did the NMM on that blade

What Color’s did you use on the mount gryph stalker? It looks really good!!

All three looks absolutely fantastic!

am I the only one who noticed the gray, brown and black base rims

that white Stormcast armor looks amazing... really well done...

Deffo give spearhead (fire and jade) a shot, super accessible, and quick games

That white stormcast armor is spectacular!!

How did you get that lord vigilant armor tone?

SO pretty!

"How to fold a game board" should definitely be an item on the next paint perspective pod...

Power drilling gun barrels? That’s nuffin. When I clean my mold-lines, I actually put on high-vis workwear place the model on my driveway, and then hop behind the wheel of my bobcat, and use the front edge of the dozer-blade to clean the model. Sometimes I even put out traffic cones if it’s a big model. True story

wow stick was good. mine just died after 2 years and i did not break a single drillbit. ive gotten some knock offs of temu and i will see how they compare.

The Vellejo Airbrush primer does not work for me. It keeps rubbing off so easy, but when I spray with a rattle can I have much better luck.

going to start lighter from now on...

What drill bits do you guys use?

After doing the emc course many moons ago I generally start with the mid tone for the base colour the I can go up and down were needed

Hahah, James mentioned that the wow stick is no car torque wise. However I have used my wow stick on my car :)

Ben is a fantastic guest! His speed and ability to just paint to tight deadlines is astonishing. And he's such a great bloke as well. What he says about blood bowl is true. It is easily my favoirite GW game!

James says Leman Russ like you would say Spider-man "Lee-man Russ" 😂 Also there's only grey shame if you're a glass half empty person. It's grey future wins Or pile or possibilities.

Highlighting black: I really like adding blue to the highlights and green/purple to the shading or edges facing down. Gives it a good feel of reflecting the sky/ground.

How did you go about thinning Warpstone Glow for the airbrush? I’ve heard a lot of people say it’s not the best for airbrushing.

Another great way to dry your mini with a hairdryer is to make a "drying oven", take an old cardboard box, make a hole in it to stick the hairdryer in it, put the model in and keep the doors a lttile bit open, will dry everything gently and fast (idea is from Adam Savage)

That witch hunter is epic! That is such a flawless conversion and a great paintjob to boot.

Regarding painting black...I feel like you guys being slaves to the gw style of painting are missing out A LOT regarding Black Templars/Ravenguard/Deathwatch. You can paint black in very fun ways if you stay away from the drab gw style.

wowstick bits are fixed shank size so you can't just use any old drill bit where the shank is the same width as the cutting tip.. But you can easily buy the correct type, usually sold as PCB drill bits on places like Amazon. Shank size of 2.35mm will work, don't get 1/8inch.

Fascinating discussion on timing how long is spent on painting each stage, as this is something I’ve been thinking about a lot lately. I was surprised to hear that none of you had ever timed how long building and cleaning the models takes though - probably because it makes for frightening reading! I recently timed how long a large main character took to build and clean - it took 4 HOURS! Even mounting the various sub assemblies and priming it took 45 minutes. Finding time efficiencies at this stage is probably the holiest grail for commission painters like me, because the hourly rate for a job can soon become tiny if you don’t get a handle on it. It doesn’t help that the GW sprue numbering is often all over the place! Even reading the instruction manual can be a big time sink, but one thing that I do find helpful is reading ahead in the manual before starting. That way you can identify elements later in the build that can be constructed separately, earlier than the instructions tell you to, and skip ahead to those while glue is drying on the element you’ve just constructed. Following the instructions in order is often an inefficient way to proceed, in my experience. Great discussion guys, keep up the good work 🤘🥰

British Warhammer content and no-one has a wild Northern accent! What a time to be alive

WoW stick is mega. To be fair, I’m not painting 1000s of models a year, but for the every day hobbyist, it’s the best build hack.

do you find as well known professional painter that also has (or is part of) a professional painting company, your doubling down on pressure with regards to social media, and that your having to keep up with everyone else or there's the fear of being lost because you haven't posted for a day, especially when another brand posts something really good, kind of your own worst enemy, there's not only the validation but also the pressure of achieving that like count... its a mental health minefield

I've been on James' side all the way from ep1. Massive ramen bowl as a water pot? Sure. Power tools to drill gun barrels? All is forgiven. But buying 5 pots of the same paint in one go is unhinged. Straight to jail. Love the show, keep it up

I think to combine what James said about being honest with yourself and what George said about going back retrying a previous method leads to something that you should mention which is because everyone is genuinely different and this hobby is about constantly learning, sometimes if you try army painting and it’s miserable, you maybe need to just admit it’s not for you. Stop forcing it and ruining your hobby for yourself, be honest with realistic goals for you. It’s certainly not for me and it’s taken me 12 years and 4 varying army project attempts to just accept I can’t buy the pile of grey plastic I want and ever expect to get it done, and not hate it by the end. The motivation just fades and I’ve found I’m far more successful going box to box. That’s when I get that feeling James mentions about breaking the back of the project and keeping to overall motivation alive. Keep trying different methods and be honest and you’ll find your best route to completed minis! 😁

James looks like a little kid Christmas morning seeing that rotating cork handle lolz

Don't the Gundam drill bits fit the Wow stick?

Squeak = Lube/WD40

For army projects I put all of my efficiency and time saving effort into the building and base coating steps. That is batch build similar kits until it's all built. Then spray their most prominent base coats in one or two large sessions. From that point I do the detail work unit by unit without feeling rushed. Once an army evolves into a collection, it makes more sense to piecemeal the additions and substitutions. As by that point the core elements of the army are in a finished and playable state.

You probably don't need to do test models as you do a lot more painting in general. I use a test model usually to do a few things - figure out the order to do things in for batch painting, and to figure out recipes and techniques. Last one I did was really to try and figure out whether, for Chaos Space Marines, I should spray the trim and paint the armour or vice versa, before I committed to an approach that I might deeply regret halfway through the army.

You should check out the Cobalt Keep Painting Hilt Pro. I need something bigger than a cork or shot glass to hold onto, and this painting handle is great for me.

Just use PART of the potato Chip chop.
