Great job. Really good starting point for to help those that prefer more subtle gradations between highlights and the main colours than GW’s and most firms’ typical house styles.

someone that actually using basic color theory? awesome

Two thumbs up for this video. If I had 3 thumbs, it would be 3. Does anyone actually need 7 shades of green? I actually have 7 shades of green, and every other color you can think of, and guess what, a lot of them have never been opened. Now I have my Kimera paints and the rest are going into storage unless I actually need one. You've done a great job of demonstrating my new hobby philosophy -- less is more!

Omg! My art class all over again hahaha!!! I do this as well when I didn't have purple so I mixed kantor blue and mephiston red. Great vid man!

For those keen in learning more, just Google/YouTube Colour wheel, hue and saturation, colour value etc etc... Mixing colour isn't easy, it'll take time to mastered. Go easy on yourself hobbyist.

Great video! My Kimera colours arrived just today! Looking forward to giving this a blast.

Wait... you don’t need to buy 50 Citadel paints to paint a model?! My bank account is saved!!

I truly enjoy and appreciate every video you make, even for armies I don’t have. Your videos have helped me produce some badass armies that got my bf and friends envious over.
This video was awesome! Keep up the good work!

Fantastic guide, as someone completely new to warhammer, would you recommend me getting a mixed box of acrylics, like golden acrylic tubes? Just before I decide to invest more into the hobby?

[philcurran]

Hold on don't you also run the Midwinter Minis channel????

[frgio]

Sorry sir, I didn't get the magenta tone.. "Galval black red" ?

[cromcraft]

. . . Adding black doesn't "saturate"....?
