Worth the watch for the Palette Unicorn.

Been singing the prases of ths approach for years due to being a CG artist where you have to properly consider the glossines of each material anyway! Brilliant tutorial.

When I'm doing snowy bases, I varnish the base to seal in the paint before putting the snow products on. I find that the paint colours from the ground can leach into some snow products otherwise (couldn't say which ones specifically - I use a combination of 7 different things because I like to make it hard for myself). Pretty sure it's not just reactivation of the paints because it looks fine the next day, bit a couple months down the track it looked all mucky.

Also, on the topic of shiny cloth - velvet! I saw someone do a velvet effect on the sisters of battle subreddit, and it looked great. Will be giving it a try when I get round to working on my sisters.

Leather, latex and lacquered armour? Sounds like an exciting Friday night.

…I’ll see myself out.

[graemebeaton]

Now that was an eye opener! Never thought about using varnishes for anything except “protecting” the model.

Thanks peach!

Mm Cobra Commander, looking sharp, villainy served best with polished boots .. where did he get that lovely coat, bad guys really do have cool stuff. Great tips, varnish is a tool that doesn't get praised enough. I satin varish my high elf armour for that subtle sheen, gloss the gems.. so many gems.

[kierdalemodels]

Great stuff. I love that Cobra Commander mini.
I’ve been painting a Crooked Dice RoboCop while watching this and will indeed make use of varnishes once I’m done👍

Always appreciate when you leave making a mistake in the video rather than just editing it out as really helps me relate.
As a Death Guard and Nurgle player I often use varnishes to help make various things like mutations or guts look nice and slimey.

I semi-recently purchased the Grognard heavy support and command from Wargames Atlantic, they are space Napoleonics. They also have infantry and cavalry. If you can convince Wargames Atlantic to send them to you (perhaps with a bribe called buying it), I think you might enjoy them.

Your channel is going from strength to strength Peachy, loving these videos! Keep up the good work!

[IAmTheDawn]

Bang on Peachy - great show and great tips. many many thanks

[NewSquallor]

Mostly the same uses for varnish. If you fall into the battletech or some other mecha trap, cockpit glass and energy weapon lenses in gloss. Lovely work as usual. We'll all have to chip in to get you more crooked dice minis. Those clean up nicely with the Peachy touch. Cheers! -Clyde

[jamesgoodsell]

One thing I love about your videos Peachy is that I have no idea where they will go next. Painting guide, lore, unicorn, who knows! It’s like strapping yourself in for an adventure!

[marklindsey]

That old leather technique ... **chef's kiss** ... straight into the toolkit. Thanks Peach.

[Faydakin-xpbk]

I’m loving the V models. They look amazing.

[barsey]

Great video! Ten year old me was loving the V models! Thanks for the tips!

[Glatius]

I like using gloss varnish for guts, quite helpful for chaos especially nurgle who have exposed guts that are fairly recently exposed and covered in blood and other wetness

[NapGod]

great video. most people think of varnish as just a protective surface. I've started giving armor pieces a mix of satin and matt finish and ultramatt for stuff like skin and hair. The contrast between the two finishes on its own really helps to sell the difference in materials.

[Svengar]

Some very clever tips within your video. I always love finding out new ways, especially quick and easy, to make your minis that bit better

[petersmith]

Great video. Peachy. Cobra Commander looked great. The hood is spot on for the early 2000's Valor vs Venom versions of the figure. (I'm lettin my toy nerd show, lol)
