Awesome video, Emil. Love all the fog in the airbrush shots. I'm not very good with my airbrush, so hearing your process was super helpful! I always struggle with having the airbrush have a noticeable effect, and what I think I learned from this video is that because of the power of an airbrush, you really need to lean into what it can do: blends of orange to green on the hands to the torso of that troll, putting magenta in the shadows of a yellow squig, and more were all great examples and would be very challenging with a brush. Use the airbrush for what it's good for, not to imitate what a normal brush can already do well. Thank you!

I just bought your airbrush. I would like a video from you that scientifically shows how to use it step by step. How to put the paint in, thin and mix it, what pressure to spray at, how far to keep it from your model and how fast to move the brush, how long to let the paint dry before the next coat, how to switch to a different paint color and how to properly clean it when you are finished. This is a rare chance for a fully comprehensive guide considering you made this airbrush you are the true expert!

I started painting in April this year. My first big purchase was an airbrush and i haven't had an ounce of regret so far. It's brilliat for priming, basecoating and for paint scemes like Camo patterns on Bunkers or Tanks

Also it makes painting bigger areas SO MUCH easier for bigger vehicles for example

I don't get over here much Emil, but I've watched you grow over the years. Dude, you have your own airbrush model now lol. This hobby has been so good to you man, but I've watched all that you have done for others and to further the love for painting, tabletop gaming, 40k in general, all you have done for the hobby.
From the quality of your videos, to the home that you and your family now own, all the changes in your studio with all the printers/paints etc, you have come so far over these years. Your honesty and transparent attitude and the standards you keep make you extremely relatable, that honesty makes us as consumers, hobbyist, fans of channel we trust your reviews and strategies because they are tested and come from a place authenticity. I don't get as much time to myself and my hobby as I like over the years, but I always find time to pop over to keep a hand on the pulse of gaming through your channel here. Hope this message reaches you in good spirits man. Cheers!🍻

Today i bought a new air compressor for my airbrush and i was thinking about finally buying a high end airbrush. I use a cheap fengda airbrush which has served me wel but since i use the airbrush more and more lately i want a high end one. So this was a welcome surprise and i immediately bought one. Been eyeing the airbrush for a while now in the sneak peak shots you put in the videos. I really liked the squid design and i was thinking when and if it would be for sale and now it is. Thnx Emil and thnx H&S for making such a stunning airbrush

This was an awesome video, with some incredible models! Great job.
I feel like the shadow-tinting with an airbrush is one of the most commonly missed uses. It works fantastic with glazes, and this is just the same but faster.

[huntahman]

Yeaaaa I picked one up... it's an incredible looking airbrush and gave me a great excuse to finally check out a Harder & Steenbeck. So win win.

Just bought mine today, can't wait for it to come, I had the evolution which I love and had it for two years. The adjustment for the paint and air is what sold me. Also the design looks awesome nice work my friend. Been a viewer since near the start of your channel and love your content. Keep up the great work.

Wow, amazing what you can do with an airbrush, but still using those brush skills to punch it up to the next level, then once again with the airbrush and final touches for incredible results. Impressive and inspiring.

[nikroth]

Thank you !! I just bought an airbrush, I was in dire need of this !

[HuntersOA]

What I noticed whit red is that it usually starts to look brown by adding black. I recently started adding in different tones of brown and the hue is really pleasant with this solution. I need less black, saturation is better and the secondary colour ties it nicely to the red

I have a Start Collecting and Battleforce box of these trolls and goblins and this video has hyped me up to paint them. Thanks Emil.

Absolutely love this video. One of my favorites on airbrushing. It’s super clear and helpful and not just like this one recipe. Id love to see a video on shading with an airbrush! I feel like everyone says shade with an airbrush just use complementing colors or magenta without really taking about why/different possibilities.

[jeremiahhammer]

That is the sickest airbrush I’ve ever seen! Definitely picking one up.

[KabinMiniatures]

Great guide, they are so vibrant and full of contrast!

[bampdd]

I’d really like to know at what point in this process do you swap from your 0.4 needles to the smaller one for this paint job (if you did change needles at all?)

[DeuTron]

Just bought it, already got an hs ultra and evolution and i´m pretty happy with them. But the regulation for air and color was too tempting. :)

[BrianO]

Hey squidmar, will you ever paint harlequins on the channel? I would love to see your take on the color scheme, as well as how you paint the harlequin triangles

[viracocha]

Wasn't sure where to do it, so ill do it here, I just want to say thank you Emil, today i received your brushes. I have been wanting to order them for a while and was finally able to afford them. They arrived in Canada 4 days early, which was a welcome surprise and i am going to test them out tonight ! looking forward to it.
I am praying to the God's that you extend the airbrush sale, i want one very bad but cannot afford it right now.
