Painting for The Old World: Empire State Troops [How I Paint Things]

There's just something about bright yellow and purple on a miniature that does it for me. They're colours you don't often see in uniforms at all, so Ostermark is the go-to for anything like this, but the method itself will still work perfectly well with other colours - probably be even faster for the likes of Reikland! Find the Highland Miniatures range on MyMiniFactory here: https://www.myminifactory.com/users/H... These are some of my favourite proxies and fantasy miniatures out there, being just detailed enough to enjoy painting without being super busy and overwrought. If you're wanting them to fit perfectly with Citadel miniatures, I'm told that printing them around 92-93% scale works well, though you may find you need to resupport the files. 00:00 - Intro 01:13 - Priming Notes 02:11 - Uniforms and Heraldry of the Empire 03:38 - Painting Time! 10:39 - Shading 11:58 - Finishing Touches 14:17 - The Finished Captain Thanks to Producer Patrons Alan, Kyrie, Andrew, Rod, Phil, Ben, Robison, David Kinney, Fred, Fool in a Hat, and Chris - as well as all the other Patrons that made this video possible, and Exit23 Games for recording equipment that helps keep the channel ticking over!
