Optimized! My Favorite Speedpaint Technique.

The test mini was sculpted by Loot! Get him as a free STL file and check out the rest of the Journey to Nidavellir collection: bit.ly/JTN-Goober

Brent is the only person in the mini hobby who can say "You'll see... You'll ALL see!" without it sounding inherently ominous.

I have to say this slapchop method has brought me back to life as a painter. I have had piles and piles of unpainted grey minis taking up my closet for years because I just havent had time to give them all a "table top ready" paint job. But now with these speed paints I can spray paint a few minis I want to do before work, come home and actually paint 2-3 minis a night before bed and be satisfied with how they look. I am in love.

As a beginner painter, your channel is pure gold! Great video 🙂

Brent is the Bob Ross of mini painting. All the best from the UK.

Your videos are healthy for my mind. Straight up. "Spending some extra time on the undercoat can really pay off." I really need to apply this the next time I get the paints out again.

Your clinical approach and personable demeanor always make your videos so therapeutic… and the feline proclivities are just too relatable 😂

I’m amazed how many new tips I learned from a single video

I really appreciate how thoroughly you test things. You've combined what most would make as 4 or 5 videos into one concise video, with enough detail for people to make informed decisions to suit their individual model's needs. You scienced our hobby again.

I love the technical side of painting that you do in videos, its great to see all the variations in everything that can be done and the slap chop technique has given me a great confidence and love for painting miniatures. That miniature you painted is quite the handsome guy, i just cant figure out where I have seen him before 🙂

I applaud your video making skills and antics. Your ability to retain your trademark smile while slowly glancing over at your car cleaning their nether regions, and not breaking timing was pure gold.

This video is so incredibly valuable to new hobby painters. You've saved me a TON of time, money and effort here. Thank you!

New Goobertown! Everything’s coming up Milhouse!

I've only painted minis once in my life and this is inspirational. You make an impossible looking hobby so accessible. Thank you so much, I'm really looking forward to getting painting.

Really like the Army Painter speedpaint. The reactivation that everyone seems to complain about is its biggest plus side. Speedpaint then go over highlights with a thin white paint. The reactivation colours the white and looks great. Do it again on the highest highlights and it works again. Great results.

I am starting my journey into painting this week. You videos have been so much help in finding a starting place and what to do. I enjoy how you not only show us how to do something but also go slow enough to see what you are doing and the result of the technique you are applying. Thanks for the inspiration.

You've done us all a great service with this extensive experimentation. I know how laborious it can be to cycle through different pigments and methods while cataloguing everything. Thank you so much.

Great video! I've been doing some of my own tests and I've personally found the prime color to be the most important. You can change the entire tone and feel of a mini by using a colored primer. The "problem" with a black prime is that is sucks out the saturation of color, and really muddies some colors. For my Imperial Fists I've started using a pink prime, followed by a cream zenithal, a white drybrush, and then a contrast paint, and it's the fastest I've ever been able to get a decent looking lemon boy on the table. I think I would use brown primer for anything I wanted to have a "natural" look to them, a dark blue for any cold color scheme models, and either a magenta or dark red (depending on how bright I want the value of the end model) for anything I want to be a warm color scheme.

This is a neat way to undercoat. Especially since I don't really like how zenithals come out. Here is the method I have been playing with: 1. Prime grey 2. Black wash to add shadows 3. Dry brush white

This is the best video ever about how to prime the best way to paint with contrast or speedpaint ❤️❤️
