I'm not a Warhammer player, but I subscribe for useful videos like this one. Your approach to a technique is always clear and straight to the point. Well done.

Super easy, barely an inconvenience! Slapchop painting is tight!

[CountryPistolBB]

This came at the perfect time. Last night I was watching Marco Frisoni’s videos on value sketching as I want to push my undercoating beyond dry brush grey, then dry brush white. I ended watching them feeling a bit overwhelmed. This feels more accessible. Thanks!

I applaud your 50 Shades of Grey joke. Just slide that in there super smooth.

"And so I challenge you, yes you... ROB!!!"
What the F!!! That was seriously intimidating!! 🤣

I will do, Jay. I promise!!!

[erikbraun]

super easy basing, barely an inconvenience! oh using contrast paints on bases is TIGHT!

[kenupton]

Super easy! Barely an inconvenience!

Oh WOW!

I am a veteran of many warhammer painting channels and this is a good one. Kudos to you sir.

[jmormaple]

Really like this explanation on why and how to make this technique work. Lots of videos just kinda use it without giving us an understanding of why.

Also the mini looks cool.

I just started painting models but have an art background. This is how I envisioned the process to be but, glad that I can see this and now feel more confident that I am doing the right thing.

As yellow turns green over black, I recommend base coating parts you want yellow dark red first before you zenithal. It will make the shadows brown. Gives it a warm look rather than an haunting look to the yellow.

Gosh ! Finally someone explaining that in an easy and straightforward way. Amazing video, thanks :)

[codybennett]

Thank you for this video! I have been playing around with underpainting but there always seemed to be something missing. I think the biggest takeaway for me is to use normal acrylic paint instead of the speed paints once I start actually painting the model. The other thing is that I always have a hard time with highlighting so these little tips are going to be extremely helpful! Now onto my Perdita crew from Malifaux and see what I can pull off!

Really good, clear - _errrr_- primer. Thanks for posting.

[johnpatrick]

Pitch Meeting references on a mini painting video are tight!

[AndrewKolstad]

Another great video. I always enjoy the EOB take on current trends.

[jrod]

Thank you for explaining it and not just making another Slap Chop is better than everything video 👊

[bargearse]

We need more things in life that are super-easy and barely an inconvenience.

[emmaplaysgreen]

I loved the simplicity and clarity of your video. It wasn't overloaded with too many new terms and concepts in one go and the brevity means that there's just enough info given before your brain starts to switch off!

Also, can I just say that you have beautifully groomed nails and hands? :-)

I've been using undercoating and contrast paints for quickly getting through some of the swarm enemies from Shadows of Brimstone that I would have had no hope finishing otherwise. Took far less time painting 12 void spiders with this technique than it did for me to paint 12 hellbats with washes and base colour layers.
