Why Duncan guides looks SO GOOD in terms of visuals, sound, teach-ability, personality and speech? They looks like 2 million dollars budget series. Always pleasure to watch!

I am branching out from GW, and my eyes are opening. There can be no question of GW superiority in model quality. But there are so many good alternatives out there, especially with GW prices. Duncan has proved this with his new paint range which I am know trying out and am quite happy. Do not limit yourself to GW only ! I’m a gamer of 30 years I’m 41 ! I can’t believe I’m only branching out know ! Mix up you hobby and products ! Good work Duncan you bring your GE knowledge and your own individual skill ! And initiative ! The hobby world 🌎 needs more people like you !

I used to hate painting bases because I didn't have the know-how or the tools to make them interesting. Then came the DRPA. Now I love doing different bases.

AK interactive makes wonderful hobby products. Thank you for all the hard work

[MrSmashySmash]

I love seeing what people can do on bases, so it's really inspiring to see how it's done too

Cluld I possibly ask for some more materials about AdMech on the Academy? I'm about to start an army and there's never too much information.

I don't happen to play any tabletop games, but I love to paint minis! I have watched EVERY youtube video you have made thus far, and I just think you are amazing and just tooo darling. I am now a student of your academy, as of today! You have captivated me with your teaching style and techniques. I cant wait to watch and follow along with your mini/army tutorials. <3

Hi Duncan. Great informative tutorial. Loved the techniques and ideas. I have been watching your tutorials since lock down as I started painting then. My friend Rob introduced me to the hobby and told me to watch your videos. You met him on Saturday at Griffcon 2022. I am so grateful to you and Rob, as I really love the hobby. Thank you so much for inspiration and great work you do. Kindest regards Ian

I painted up an Imperial Fist just as a side project, but couldn't decide how to base him. Now I know. Thanks!

The Ash waste environment basing has the Dune vibe, only with motorbikes when it comes to Mad Max. The colour for the half-submerged rocks over the surface of the ash-sand is a good texture.

[Alex-vfio]

Gives me new ideas for my death guard. Duncan you taught me the toxic bases I use now. Thanks for all the tutorials!

[adriandoyle]

Awesome results. If I may add some info of my own, Vallejo makes coloured textured paints too at very affordable prices. If I remember correctly they sell a black, darker brown, lighter brown and sand colours.

tip: If you find that you are pushing the AK stuff around like a snow plow (or bulldozer for those of you from warmer areas) or you're lifting up the AK stuff because it sticks to the wheel/tank treads, wait for the AK stuff to harden just a touch.

[kalmar]

WOW! At first I was unsure just how much that tiremark would show then POP, it's very recognizable! Pretty awesome stuff!

[Ulrican]

For the bark, I you can find them in smaller bags in arts and crafts shops like Michale's here in the US. They are used for flower arrangements. Hope it helps.

7:10 Duncan Rhodes confirmed Blue Peter!

[librariangmr]

I love basing! Would you ever consider a tutorial for water effects and resin?

[Synwolf]

I absolutely love AK's stuff. I use streaking grime to weather miniatures very often.
