Is it possible to paint a complete complex miniature with layers in a half hour? Or do all the techniques/materials for painting minis talk more than 30-60 minutes?
Interesting. I mean I cod see someone becoming successful as a YouTuber with a channel dedicated to doing a mini in a half hour. Maybe it already exists.Sure, if it's pre-primed, and you don't use washes (which require drying time). You can quick-blend a mini to tabletop standard at least.

By that I assume you mean the "dipping" method?This seems like the appropriate place to ask this question.
What do folks think about Army Painters Speed paints?
No they have a new product called speedpaint. It looks pretty cool.By that I assume you mean the "dipping" method?
If they do mean The Dip (whether Army Painter or DIY with woodstain)...it depends heavily on your subject matter/period/setting. from my fairly extensive experience with it.By that I assume you mean the "dipping" method?

I've never actually used the drill, because that is silly and I know what mineral spirits are.Personally, army painter dip is way too thick, Future floor wax and a bit of sepia ink flows better and you don't need to spin the figure on a drill.
I hope you post some results!My Army Painter Speedpaint Mega Set came in just this week. I'm hoping to give them a try out sometime this weekend.
This reminds me on an unrealized plan of mine to build an undead army, heavy on zombies, and paint the whole thing in black and white going for an early George A Romero feel.Or if I were doing a Sin City feel.
It was a long time ago, but I saw a whole collection, including terrain, that was done that way. Basically, a riff on Nosferatu for some sort of convention game. Absolutely beautiful.This reminds me on an unrealized plan of mine to build an undead army, heavy on zombies, and paint the whole thing in black and white going for an early George A Romero feel.
WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME EARLIER!!!!it might be easier to just prime grey, then do a black wash, then, after giving it a few hours to dry, a very light white drybrush overtop. You'd get practically the same effect as zenithal with less of a margin for error.
But yeah, painting anything over pure black is gonna be tricky.
Currently loving the Army Painter Speed Paints. The only thing they lack is the variety of the Contrast Paint range, especially with the new release.
There's a Youtube video that goes over all the new contrast paints. Basically, there's three types.I need to get to my LGS and see if they have the new contrast paints. I've seen a few videos about them by various mini painters and they look pretty slick. Of course, they still come in the shitass Citadel pots. The Army Painter Speed Paints are head and shoulders above when it comes to containers, since not only are they in dropper bottles, but they come with agitators pre-installed.
Pain in the butt, but I transfer all my GW paints to Reaper bottles and toss in the agitators. The contrast and washes go easy, the GW paints need to be thinned anyway, so using a mix of Vallejo Flow Improver, Vallejo Thinner, and water makes them transfer well and be ready for painting.I need to get to my LGS and see if they have the new contrast paints.
