My good friend Steve is going to share his secret techniques for masterfully painting tabletop wargame terrain with simple, easy to follow techniques that are beginner friendly and very effective! This boy’s won a Golden Demon as well, so I reckon we should hear him out.

If you want to make that subtle purple wash for shadows, here's the rough recipe: "Liquitex 'Muted Violet', with some Muted Grey and Muted Pink. Watered down with water, flow improver and airbrush thinner. Its very thin, much thinner than any GW wash or contrast"

    I love the fact that Steve is getting a spotlight in the channel, he’s a great painter!
  • Don’t get me wrong. I love all the videos and having Steve on the channel was a treat. The terrain looks great. But when you said at the beginning that this was easy I did not expect 20 different skills, 10 different tools and a gazillion different paint products 😂 but thank you anyway. It was fun to watch
  • guy, I want to thank you for getting me into Warhammer and painting miniatures. your how to paint your first miniature video was incredibly helpful just starting out.
  • Every time I watch one of these videos I consider getting back into painting minis. I reckon I did my last one circa 1999...
  • @TofuTeef
    Crikey, this is the Steve that designed this awesome claustrophobic spacey terrain? Purchased the files a while ago, and what a lovely guy! super helpful and forthcoming with printing advice. Thanks for this impromptu painting guide too you legend!
  • @MrGweep
    Finally!! I can paint the boxes full of stuff from guy’s tutorials Seriously tho too much scatter terrain is in my closet
  • @Raynsideways
    That liquid mask coming off at 9:15 was some freaking sorcery. I don't remember having my mind blown by a painting technique like that since I first saw you put crackle paint on necrons in the first video I saw on this channel.
  • @Ulrican414
    I love the fact that your channel is one of the only ones that still mostly paints miniatures... No silly crazy stunts, like $10000 diorama, 100kgs of resin, look I freehanded the sistine chapel on this warlord titan's shoulder.

    We've clearly a man passionate with the enviromental here. I can feel the amount of research to find the proper way and catch the result desired. Fully understand. Lovely work.
  • Guy and Steve - thank you so much. As a smaller YouTuber that focuses on terain and 40k - this is an amazing tutorial and a great product. Glad to grab this bundle. You're both the absolute best!
  • @ed8869
    best terrain video painting i've seen - huge help thanks mm!
  • Awesome video. Please have Steve do more a mid tier painting and advanced videos. This scenery looks amazing. Looking forward to the next video. Keep up the good work.
  • Don’t care what anyone says but guy is the most entertaining and engaging hobby YouTuber I’ve watched
  • @Bluecho4
    if you don't have Dirty Down rust effects, you can simulate it by applying some Burnt Umber paint, either with a brush or sponge or thinned as a wash. This can be followed up with some more vibrant orange paint as a spot color, for that most corroded look.
  • YES. Preach the gorgeousness of Jet Exhaust!!! I’m using it on all of my Space Hulk terrain as well.
  • Love bringing in other people to spotlight on the channel. Well done Guy and Steve!
  • @MrGenerichead
    This technique will see my Into the Dark set finished in about 6 years.
