The large Carrying case from TableWar has proven to be handy for a number of things. I thought that the larger size would let me carry the bigger Creature Caster demons more safely at conventions...</div>

I want to work in the sketching of the Freehand design as early in the process as possible, for a few reasons. If that design is sketched in at an earlier point, I have a lot more room to make adjustments!

Once again, many thanks to Gilbert (be sure to check out Reddragon's Model Werks) and to Ken. It was amazing to see what it takes just to make a single airbrush, or even a single jar of Stynlrez. </div>

In just a matter of weeks, the Band reunites at GenCon, where once again I will be doing airbrush demos in the Badger booth. That has become an annual tradition, and this year we have some very special things planned!</div>

With all the furor and frenzy over the Contrast Paints, it seemed wise to make a change in the schedule for my Army Painting series. I had another Oil Painting series set up but everyone wants to know about these paints.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I grabbed some classic Khore Bloodletters and got those prepped for Series 10, which will focus on various ways to use those Contrast Paints!</div>

As I have mentioned many times now, I have been asked repeatedly for options on the Reaper Clear and Liner paints, which can be difficult to obtain outside the US.

Ironically, this is nothing different than techniques that used many years ago when I filmed the original Painting Pyramid series.

I chose to do a classic color scheme on these classic Bloodletters, which seemed to suit them well. As with all Army Painting series, I begin with creating bases for the unit. In this case, working with the Green Stuff World texture rollers and the flaming skulls. The second episode is always the Color Test Figure, which is where you figure out how long a given effect or color scheme might take on each figure.</div>

This is very important because what seems like a small amount of time on one figure can become a LOT of time once you multiply that across an entire unit or army! That is why I discuss the point over and over again during the subsequent episodes. Each series is normally 5 episodes, and around 12-13 hours total running time. These are designed to tie into the Painting Dark Sword episodes and other videos that are posted to the patreon page each month. The $15 pledge level means you will be able to see every series that has been done, and I am working on series 10 and 11 right now!</div>

There was also a freehand pattern which needed to be matched, which was one more challenge. I show a quick way to figure out a pattern on a separate piece of sculpey in order to familiarize myself with that design. It makes it MUCH easier to paint it on the figure itself.</div>

Finally, I wanted to discuss putting some of your own personality or look on the figure, even though you are replicating a scheme done by someone else. It can be very subtle, or very dramatic. It is very important to think through something like that before you get too involved in painting the figure.</div>

I had a lot of fun with the scales and skin, which felt like they should be fish like, but also of a higher saturation. The Purple and Jade from the range are favorites, and they have a natural synergy together.</div>

As an intermediary, we have some of the Sky Blue in places. This helps the Jade to translate into purple instead of becoming more of a gray. Purple and Green mixes are one of my favorite ways to create Green, so adding the blueish tone first cuts down on that "graying" of the color.</div>

In this case, I had to match this color scheme, which was going to be a major challenge, because that painter uses a VERY different technique than I do. You can see that it is mostly edge highlighting and using metallic paints, which I was not going to be able to use myself.</div>

While anyone who has to paint entire armies for their own games needs to get them done in a minimal amount of time, it is especially important for a commission painter to be able to get projects out of the way as soon as possible. Hopefully these videos that I am creating assist in that cause!</div>

For those who are able to watch the tutorial, they will see how I take the reference images and carry over those effects onto the figure, especially all the reflections. Once I started using armor cosplayers images as references as opposed to pictures of armor in museums, I began to get a better idea of what armor looks like in an "environment".</div>

You can see that in this image, where I used the Green Stuff World Celtic theme texture roller to create an ancient stone temple base. During the video, I show a few simple steps to replicating those patterns on the cloak. This is Episode 16 of Painting Dark Sword. </div>

In each video, I try to show a few different elements... sometimes that is a specific color, or a range of colors. It can also involve a certain technique, or how to combine various techniques.</div>

I also take you through some steps to magnetize the figures to the tray, which I have been doing for all my units. This makes them so much easier to deal with as far as transport, but even on the table when you have to constantly move a tray around some obstacles or rotate them. I have seen "explosions" in every battle report so far where a batch of figures go flying.</div>

Here are a few of the "Color Test" figures. This is an important part of the unit or army painting process, and something that is always covered in the second episode of every 5 part Army Painting series on the Patreon Page. It is here where you can determine how long a given effect might take, and then you can multiply that by the number of figures. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This way, you know in advance how much extra time that could add to your project, and you can either eliminate that effect, or save it for select figures such as champions.</div>

I am almost finished filming Series 9 of the Army Painter Patreon sets. As I mentioned earlier, each one is usually 5 episodes long, and takes you through each step of the process from initial basing to finishing touches! By signing up for the Army Painting level (which is $15 per month), you also have access to all the other tutorials done for that month, and that means about 20 hours of video tutorials!!</div>

In each series I try to toss in something new and different. Instead of using an airbrush to spray on my shading layers of Badger Stynlrez primer, I chose to go back to a time before we had an airbrush. This means brushing on the primer by hand! For years, we brushed on the Stynlrez primer, and it always worked very well.</div>

I used 3 different colors of primer to achieve the same sort of "pre shaded" look that I normally get with the airbrush. It may take a little longer, but if you don't happen to have an airbrush, this is certainly a viable solution for you.</div>

With the unit based and primed, it was time to move on to the Color Test figure episode. It is at this time when you can assess how much time a given effect will take on a figure, which allows you to do some quick calculations on how an entire unit or army might require to complete.</div>

I don't know how many times I have heard people that I know giving up on an army project because they had ambitious goals, but no real idea oh how long that was going to take.

With each series and "one off" tutorial, I try to show you how to break down that much longer, complex process into more attainable goals. These let you see some progress each time, and also help you to decide what effects might be neat to do, but would ad too much overall time to get that project out of the way.</div>

Even on this color test figure, there were a few occasions where I timed myself , such as the freehand on the shield and on the tunic. If I decide that it too much to do on every figure, I might decide to save something special like that for champions or characters. By making that choice before going on to the rest of the unit, I have made the goals more reasonable, and I am less likely to be upset later on when I realize that the original vision is just not possible.</div>

It is not very difficult to get a nice variety of tones in what is perceived as "black", especially if you utilize the Reaper Miniatures Liner paints. These are very dark colors which also glaze very well. They make an ideal start to getting those darker tones, and making sure there's more warmth or coolness in a given area.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That is how you can get that added interest, by making some parts more of a warm dark grey, others a cooler blue, or even a blueish green. At one point I even use purple to create additional accents.</div>

There are a few little twists in the video, such as the Object Source Lighting, but the home made wet palette is quite the surprise! It was all very accidental, which I explain in the video. I took just a few household items and put that together in a matter of minutes!</div>

While it was not essential by any means, an earlier marathon painting session (working on 2 dozen figures at once!) showed that it could be useful. Those figures all had different color schemes, so it was nice to have the wet palette on hand to work with all those different tones.</div>

There are other videos that show how to combine multiple techniques on one figure, and others that show how to deal with multiple light sources for an OSL effect.

You can see how the use of the cooler, more muted dark grays can be used to intensify the "fire" effect. I talk about this every time I do an OSL tutorial, as it is so important. </div>

This unit might be just as challenging as the Warrior's Sons, because painting alabaster effects is not something that I have done before! This was actually my first attempt. As you can see by the card art, the surface does not quite look like metal. </div>

As many of you already know, I have been spending many months try to acquire the additional equipment needed to create a second filming station. It became clear a while ago that I would need something different to handle large scale figures, dioramas and terrain.</div>

As I made more basing tutorials (especially those included in the Army Painter pledge levels), I realized that each session created such a mess that it would severely delay the creation of subsequent painting tutorials. Between getting the tools laid out, the raw materials and so on, it would take longer to set up and clean up the area than it did to film the tutorial in the first place!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, I slowly tried to bring in more cameras, lights, backup drives, and so on. The hope was to be able to get one more high powered machine so that I could keep the current editing/rendering suite where it was, but that has not happened yet.</div>

After a solid week of moving things around, I tried to create a second station that could at least be used as a basing tutorial station. While all the physical pieces were now in place, hooking those up and turning them on was going to be a very different matter! For the first attempt, I tried to make a new version of my Grey Knight bases. This would be the "control" mechanism that would let me know how close I was to the original tutorial.</div>

As it turns out, I had to go back to the primary painting station to film that part of the video, which turned out to be handy. Now I can set up basing tutorials in advance, and not get in the way of the next painting video!

That tutorial is uploading now, and I have set up the next 3 tutorials, one of which will be Episode One of Army Painting Series 9. Rohan will be the subject, and it should be a lot of fun to do some grassland style bases, along with some rivers!!</div>

This wonderful miniature is part of the Game Night 2 set for the Song of Ice and Fire Miniatures Game. This is an alternate sculpt for the Spearwives, and it works so well in adding flavor to the unit. I will be doing a special tutorial on that just like the Lady Val from a few months ago: <a href="https://youtu.be/DAU3njr2Qc8"><span style="color: #f3f3f3; font-size: x-large;"><b>https://youtu.be/DAU3njr2Qc8</b></span></a></div>

The snow and ice technique is a favorite of mine, using the Secret Weapon Miniatures crushed glass method on the snow, and the Liquitex heavy gloss gel for the icicles. You can see that on most of my Song of Ice and Fire videos, like this one on the Savage Giant: <a href="https://youtu.be/1LvJv3dyjEw"><span style="color: #eeeeee; font-size: x-large;"><b>https://youtu.be/1LvJv3dyjEw</b></span></a></div>

One of the latest new releases for the Song of Ice and Fire miniatures game is the Stark Heroes 2 set, which contains some interesting miniatures. I knew right away that I was going to have a lot of fun basing the Shaggy Dog figure.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It all started out with my usual bark and branch method of basing. Here's a peek at how that works: <a href="https://youtu.be/INPfPLCTZcE"><span style="color: yellow; font-size: x-large;"><b>https://youtu.be/INPfPLCTZcE</b></span></a></div>

However, between the dog itself and the pose, I thought that I could use some of the nifty body parts from Secret Weapon Miniatures! The sprues have heads, torsos, arms, legs and even feet! I chose the bit that has one arm still attached to the torso.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Keep in mind, I was positioning this to take advantage of the movement tray. I would place the rest of the body parts on the corner of the tray.</div>

The rest of the tray had the "branch" bit, which will give me the opportunity to create some icicles, which you can see on the end of the previous wolf painting tutorial: <a href="https://youtu.be/dB4qtag5r9g"><span style="color: yellow; font-size: x-large;"><b>https://youtu.be/dB4qtag5r9g</b></span></a></div>

You can see the rest of the body parts placed in strategic areas on the base and the movement tray. I will be doing some really fun blood effects with the snow, where the blood will be seeping into the snow.

All of the pieces of bark were placed and angled so that the wolf would appear as if he were up on a rise. The leafy material that you see is actually loose leaf tea that I had collected for my terrain pieces. When it is crushed up, it makes some very nice ground cover texture.</div>

You can sign up for the Basing Techniques pledge level on the Patreon Page at $10 per month. This will get you access to the regular basing videos, but also the episodes that focus on basing from other series, such as the Army Painting and Dark Sword levels.</div>

Of course, signing up for the Army Painter pledge level will provide access to all the videos done over the month for only $15. When you sign up, all of the previous content is also sent to you, since I try to build each series and technique on previous videos!! This means hundreds of hours of tutorials at you fingertips, covering just about anything you can imagine.</div>

As most of you know, the key part of every army is your Color Test figure. This is where you establish not just the color scheme for your army as a whole, but where you can figure out what is viable in terms of effects with the time you have to complete the project.</div>

I try to keep things as simple as possible, using a few basic Reaper colors, such as the clear and liner paints.

As I work through this color test figure, I try to keep track of how much time something takes. While this time will be shortened in the process of assembly line painting the rest of the unit, it can still let me know if the look I am trying to get will take an exorbitant amount of time.</div>

I think this is a major factor in the partially painted army syndrome. The project begins with anticipation, excitement, and expectations. When those are not met, or when the realization hits that those effects could take a REALLY long time to create, the project grinds to a halt.</div>

In each series, I conduct a discussion on these points. It is hard to believe that this is Series 8, especially when you consider that each series is 5 episodes, and usually 12 hours running time. All of the other tutorials that I do each month also feed into the Army Painting series, where I can isolate one particular technique or color.</div>

You also have to consider the colors of the miniature itself, such as the pants, cloak, tunic and so on. It is vital to make those complimentary to the effect that you want to achieve, but they still have to make sense as a clothing item as well.</div>

I explain my color choices on the clothes, and go over the strategy behind them. While the cloak is technically a cooler color, I still highlight it with a muted warm tone to keep it on the warmer side overall, and act as a secondary type of contrast to the much more saturated blue glow.</div>

The pants would be considered a war color as tan, but it is far more muted and cooler than the fire glow. Some greens were added in that area to accentuate that subtle contrast.</div>

This image shows what a logistical nightmare the cloak could pose, since the undulations are very numerous, and they are also at different "heights". This meant that some areas of the cloak would be in 'shadow' from the blueish glow, but still need highlights from the ambient light.</div>

I have another tutorial up on the YouTube channel... this time covering a subject I have been asked to talk about dozens of times. That is, painting white. So, I thought that Ghost from the Song of Ice and Fire miniatures game would be a perfect example!

People have a lot of trouble getting interesting tones in white... it tends to be very bland. With wolves in particular, "white" fur often has a lot of yellow in it. Also, the blue sky reflecting off the snow can make the fur seem blue, or even purple!</div>
