hello i'm patrick
0:01
and i'm jeff
0:03
and since we last were here as the whole
0:06
world is probably aware
0:08
our queen queen elizabeth ii sadly
0:11
passed away
0:12
we wish the new king
0:14
being king charles iii
0:16
all the best in his role as monarch of
0:19
this country
0:20
and i hope he carries on the tradition
0:22
of his mother and also subscribes to
0:24
this channel
0:29
[Music]
0:32
so then
0:34
if you've been in this hobby long enough
0:35
you're probably aware of the chap darren
0:37
latham
0:38
he is a paint he has been a painter for
0:41
games workshop he's been a head painter
0:42
for games workshop and is now one of
0:44
their sculptors he still keeps his hands
0:46
in with peyton and he still does it very
0:49
very well in fact he's almost achieved
0:51
would you say like god-like status i
0:53
would say is
0:54
as painters go i've got a cowboy cut out
0:56
of him
1:00
don't don't have the cardboard cut out
1:02
too close to all the candles though
1:03
otherwise you know
1:05
fire risks and all that so a little
1:07
while ago he put a video up on tick tock
1:10
and instagram which was him attempting
1:12
to paint a space wolf using dry brush
1:16
and
1:17
contrast method yeah is this the one
1:18
that people refer to as slap chop slap
1:20
chop yeah the honest wall gamer his
1:22
video went uh well you're very popular
1:25
and he sort of seems to have packaged up
1:27
this painting technique and delivered it
1:30
in like a very fun
1:31
video it's quite funny because i used to
1:34
use the expression slap chop but it was
1:35
only where i dealt with people when i
1:37
was a bouncer
1:43
so this isn't it's not a 30 minute
1:45
challenge but it's uh it's sort of like
1:47
30 minute challenge but the clock's
1:48
turned off because there's contrast
1:50
involved so we can't we can't get that
1:52
within 30 minutes because it's gonna
1:53
need some drying time yes so we're going
1:55
to take a speed painting technique and
1:58
see if we can replicate it yeah
2:02
[Music]
2:04
i'm already feeling like i can't live up
2:06
to the expectations of of darren
2:11
set in already to be honest with you pat
2:14
well
2:15
we can but try absolutely
2:24
you know i'm also i'm almost hoping i
2:26
don't do anywhere near a good job of
2:27
this because next thing you know a lot
2:28
of space will follow me
2:30
[Laughter]
2:33
[Music]
2:37
all right i'm happy with my uh gracia
2:39
there so i'm going to go on to uh yes on
2:42
some white yeah not correct white
2:45
no i mean sorry gw but
2:48
it just can't happen
2:51
oh you're going into the old makeup
2:52
brush yeah i am going to go in with a
2:54
small
2:55
as long as i've got it clean for
2:56
saturday night i'll be honest
2:59
i mean i'm going to live to regret this
3:00
but
3:02
i think this looks really cool at the
3:03
minute
3:04
like i'm really happy with uh with how
3:07
it looks yeah me too
3:19
[Music]
3:21
i don't want to get it on
3:23
any of the uh
3:25
any of the like leather elements
3:28
because then that's all that dry
3:30
brushing work is easy yeah it's gone
3:31
that is for now so whilst
3:34
it has been incredible fun doing all
3:36
that dry brushing and building
3:37
everything up it's now becoming a bit of
3:39
a panic i'm uh
3:41
having kittens now yeah yeah me too
3:44
lulled into a false sense of security by
3:46
the uh
3:47
the abandonment of just dry brushing the
3:49
miniature yeah right then so that's
3:51
that's right we're back to it yeah
3:54
so now grif charger gray proof charger
3:56
gray slowly starting to take shape this
3:58
is kind of like quite greeny bluey it is
4:00
quite it's quite greeny blue i'm uh
4:02
genuinely a little bit nervous about it
4:04
i'm going with the idea that i'm hoping
4:06
that uh the
4:08
billion years that uh darren latham's
4:10
been peak miniatures he knows what he's
4:11
talking about you know what i'm not
4:12
nervous about this anymore i have faith
4:14
in the lathe
4:15
[Music]
4:22
right we have some grey marines now we
4:25
do they're looking
4:27
mildly space woolfest aren't they yeah i
4:29
mean like
4:30
not winning any golden demons anytime
4:32
soon no mine doesn't look like dallas
4:34
but it looks like a space wolf and you
4:36
know if i have to i'll take that yeah
4:38
you know so we'll see so anyway
4:40
and now with some snake bite onto the
4:42
pouches that's why it all i mean they do
4:44
look very monotone at the moment so it's
4:46
going to be nice to get a bit of color
4:48
yeah absolutely right and i do love me
4:50
some contrast
4:51
and i i love snake bites
4:56
yeah already he looks a bit more like a
4:58
marine now
4:59
mm-hmm
5:01
you can see the cover of the uh the
5:02
vatican post now senior member of staff
5:04
at games workshop at salton car park by
5:06
a man who shouted you made me start
5:09
another bloody army inherited
5:17
[Music]
5:23
[Music]
5:33
missed an ankle
5:34
bendy bit in the background oh
5:38
yes heresy
5:39
[Laughter]
5:42
so
5:44
shall i go
5:46
imperial fest
5:47
oh
5:48
i'm gonna do it
5:50
it's gravel and sunset contrast all the
5:52
way
5:56
so i might go in with a second coat of
5:57
that
5:59
okay
6:00
after that's dried
6:02
um
6:09
so
6:13
[Music]
6:24
[Music]
6:36
[Music]
6:46
um
6:48
sport mode
6:49
[Music]
6:52
right then so that was good i enjoyed
6:54
that
6:55
you know what i uh i've had a whale over
6:57
time yeah a
6:59
new way of painting things i've never
7:01
done like the
7:02
so doing like a pre highlight has
7:04
generally been like an airbrush thing
7:06
yeah i've seen on youtube so i've never
7:08
attempted it with a dry brush before in
7:09
contrast paint but slap drop method
7:12
great fun yeah yeah
7:14
yeah we managed to slap chop method and
7:16
actually no one was hurt in the process
7:17
which is the main thing
7:19
right should we have a look shall we
7:21
cross them over
7:23
we're crossing the streams absolutely
7:25
right and mark each other's homework
7:26
yeah you go first yes i really like this
7:30
it's really lovely and neat i think um
7:33
it's got more um
7:35
it's got more of a subtlety through the
7:36
mine i'm loving the the the ribbon on
7:39
the uh on the belly armor on the belly
7:41
hoses whatever you want to call it the
7:43
under suit yeah really like it and face
7:45
is lovely and crisp
7:47
and
7:48
i'm really really liking the pouches i
7:50
think you've done an a1 job on that my
7:53
man i think um
7:55
shoulder pad but only because for a
7:56
moment we try to yeah
7:59
if i was to do it again yeah i tried i
8:01
was like hey wouldn't it be a shame it's
8:02
a shame not to get all of these
8:04
highlights coming through so maybe i'll
8:05
use some
8:06
and peel off this contrast i should have
8:08
just used avalon sunset and shaded it
8:11
down afterwards like with fights like
8:12
flesh or something yeah um
8:15
thought you know hey maybe maybe for a
8:18
split second
8:19
try something that daryl hadn't thought
8:22
of but he probably had thought of it
8:24
and didn't do it for this reason that it
8:26
doesn't look very good
8:28
you you went off piste and it leads to
8:31
it leads to painting avalanches
8:34
so many snow plants
8:38
but yeah leads to snow where good
8:40
oh
8:42
let's quit
8:43
yeah i'm loving that man no i think
8:45
that's really good thank you i think all
8:46
of it looks good grenades look really
8:48
well
8:49
yeah i think
8:50
again it's always what the show leads
8:52
into is a pack of ten three or four feet
8:55
away and i think they would be if i was
8:57
on the other side of the table looking
8:59
at that absolutely i'd be well happy
9:00
with that
9:01
yeah i think uh mr latham knows what
9:03
he's talking about and he's
9:06
um it
9:08
as a method i think it it as a process i
9:10
think it really works yeah yeah liking
9:12
that man i think uh i think you may have
9:14
pipped me there
9:16
let's have a look at yours so
9:18
immediately things that stand out red
9:20
pack markings yeah i think they're
9:21
awesome
9:22
thank you um
9:24
we
9:25
used to play space wall i did use play
9:27
space wool so i used to go with red
9:28
markings a lot i always found
9:30
black markings always look like they got
9:31
a bit swallowed up with the armor i
9:33
think yes yeah and i think on mine it's
9:35
like they're there but like there's also
9:37
quite a lot of the dark black on there
9:39
so it's in darren's defense he may well
9:41
have been putting them black markings on
9:43
because they are actually the right
9:45
markings for that unit yes as baseball
9:47
player you know i've just owned my own
9:49
thing and yeah maybe i shouldn't have or
9:51
maybe it doesn't matter yeah yeah yeah i
9:54
feel like the armor
9:55
is kind of like maybe some of the
9:57
highlights are peeking through a bit
9:59
more on mine i think yeah that was
10:01
because of the makeup brush you think it
10:02
was like too good
10:04
it might have been you know the makeup
10:05
brush might have just been a bit too
10:07
subtle yeah yeah
10:09
maybe so that's interesting but like
10:12
i love the the face and the eyes look
10:14
wicked yeah facing the eyes look really
10:16
good um
10:18
and like yeah grenades and the gold i
10:20
think your knife
10:22
has turned out sort of better than mine
10:24
yeah you had to
10:26
you had a bit of a mare with the knife
10:27
didn't you unfortunately which was a
10:29
shame
10:29
did the shading i just couldn't really
10:31
make it work i think i was probably
10:32
trying to put too much on
10:34
um
10:35
but yeah no i think it's uh
10:38
it's uh yeah it's good
10:40
it's good
10:41
yeah i think i'm i'm gonna say you've
10:43
got it and i'm gonna say you've got it
10:45
on because i think you did a better job
10:47
of nailing the highlights that i did
10:49
i think you uh
10:50
and yeah i think you did well with that
10:52
the synthetic
10:53
[Music]
10:55
citadel uh dry brushes so yeah yeah swap
10:57
to the small one for the last two
11:01
um
11:02
and really just tried to focus in on
11:03
this highlight so maybe that served me
11:05
well
11:05
yeah well well done sir i'm uh i'm
11:08
conceding to you on that one thank you
11:09
very much i think that worked really
11:11
well yeah i hope you enjoyed that um if
