Mixing strange varieties of goop with an outer space soundtrack. Excellent!

The 'Are you childish?' mug cracked me up. Must have!

I probably have only started on the, "how to make wash paint" videos but I think this is the best mix your paint I have seen. I LOVE that you show actually measured stuff. instead of "guess" your puddles are the same. I think the glue tip is great too!

Whipped up a jar following your instructions. Perfect results including dipping miniatures for my 70 man guardsmen gunline. I’m in your debt!

I appreciate the way you measure your wash components. "Add some of this, and a few drops of that" can be infuriating, especially to someone who's never done this sort of thing before.

I've seen this videos so many times it's burned into memory, doesn't mean i'll stop

Just whipped up my first pot. Well see how this turns out. I need to do loads of terrain for Necromunda so this will be perfect. Thank you for this video. Perfect pace. Easy to follow and does a great job explaining as you go.

[smartdie]

yes! i've been looking forward to this tutorial since i found your necron tutorial. so glad it's finally here

[frankblaker]

Good well paced and good focussed camera. Content was bang on and just what I need right now. Thanks mate! I’ll buy you a pint if ever I run into you.

all your videos have made making my first army so much better and more unique looking, thank you very much

finally got my backside in gear to make some of my own washes up using this tutorial, and i am now finally realising just how much ive been shelling out for "professional" washes from you-know-who for years, got 3 50ml bottles made up and loads of materials to spare, fianlly spurred to act as i have a big ole kings of war army to get painted and it was gonna cos an arm and a leg in washes, probably 3 times what i ended up paying for all these bits :)

Many thanks for this tutorial, . really clear, concise and easy to follow, definitely gonna make up a batch with the glue added for terrain work in the future, shade and seal in one? perfecto!

This is hands down the best DIY wash video on youtube. Everyone else wings it with the measurements. Thanks.

Bought nuln oil.. knocked it over immediately.. but loved the effect of what little i managed to get on my miniatures! this video has saved me, thank you so much!!

[BigBossGorgutz]

This is really a good way to make washes.
I most humbly thank you, Midwinterguy !

[AnneAndersonFoxiepaws]

Thank you! This is perfect for ageing and distressing stuff as well as just being a great wash! Interesting music! I will definately pass your details on to any other miniaturists...we all seem to have a dark kind of tilt to what we do so I'm sure you would go down well...anything that makes things look grimy or beat up tends to go down really well lol!

[ceilingface]

This was the cruellest tease since your first sandstone necron video. FINALLY.
But for real; this is super useful. Thanks!

[deanvanstone]

Happy new year! Recently found your channel and I've just knocked up my first batch ready for speed freaks. Great tutorial!

[Triceratopping]

Finally got round to going to Hobbycraft and getting all the stuff needed for this. Now I have two big jars of black and brown wash, and the results have been great. Thanks for creating this walkthrough, now I won't need to pay through the nose for GW Nuln Oil or Agrax ever again!

[TempoVideo]

A really good video.
Good content, good camera work and a great pace.
Thanks!
