For all of Duncan's fans, Warhammer TV now has its own Facebook page

Ooh! Another place to watch painting videos.

Awwww yeah, 100% team Duncan here!

Nice! GW's video content has been very good outside of most of the teaser trailers.

Duncan is a national treasure. That man has painted two thin coats of love to my heart.

Duncaaaaaan-Senpai please notice me!

*ahem*

Anyway, good for them. Love their painting videos!

Don't forget Emma though!

If these are up to the quality of GW's other painting videos with Duncan, these will be great.

ha exalted, i feel the same way.

He's been great, and has helped my painting loads

I've really enjoyed the how to vids by duncan. I can't wait to see what is cooked up.

And that's good because it's best to paint in multiple thin layers rather than going thick and clogging up all your heart's detail.

Another Duncan fan here. I hate painting but have a thing about playing with unpainted minis. Duncan almost, almost makes me look forward to painting.

The painting videos he does on YouTube are one of my favorite things coming out of GW these days.

Yay! More reminders that I am not a good painter! :(

I wonder what tips will they be doing, because we've already seen pretty much everyhing that can be covered? weathering? Done. Thinning paints? Duncan reminds that N times in each of the videos. Freehanding? Done. Layering? Done. Washing (both pin and regular) - done. Greenstuffing? Done. Unless they plan to go into details how to paint those very specific models they haven't showed how to, yet. Anyways, looking forward to it.

I've been a long term critic of GW for er...a long time

but I have to admit, GW's paint strategy these past years has been outstanding.

They know their demographic, and they know that people want models painted quickly and to a good standard.

So you have high quality paints, and a very straightforward painting strategy that's easy to pass on: base, shade, layer, textured base paint...

This gives you models painted to a good gaming standard, and the videos are there to help you through.

As much as it pains me to admit it, it's a damn good strategy and Duncan's videos have contributed to this...

Now, if only they could bring the rest of the company up to this standard...

Probably one of the best pieces of painting advice you'll ever get, and it also works for walls, fences and sheds, as well

Here , and here . Not a complete video dedicated to this specific technique, but he does show it how to do it and comments what to do if you mess up.

Couldn't have said it better, this news is most awesome.

Yeah the painting tutorials are great and really show off how well thought out the paint range is. Definitely makes painting a lot more accessible.

Today's video shows how to paint the blue armour for Heresy-era Night Lords. Tomorrow's video will show how to do the lightning for the armour.

This is great, but I wish they would do it on a platform infinitely less please don't bypass the language filter like this. Reds8n then Facebook. Perhaps a platform that doesn't require you to upload all your personal data just view content.

If they haven't won you over now, that quote should do it.

Haha, that's a good'un!

Quick question, I thought the pre-Heresy scheme was more purple than blue?

I've always had a passing interesst in them, but nowadays I'm actually planning to convert a few and do both schemes, but only if the scheme e.g. on the 40k wikia is correct.

Ahhh, duncan.

Every time I watch a guide of his on Harlequins, it plays out in my mind something like this

"Most people think Harlequins diamond patterns are incredibly difficult. Actually, they can be very easy! I'll show you a few simple steps to get them just right.

Step 1: paint the area a single color. Use a couple thin, even coats here. you want the area coverage to be really nice and thorough. Really just...get in that area. Cover it all up. Make sure the area is thoroughly blocked out, in one, SINGLE color. Really, this is the most difficult part. Make sure that whole part is covered in one of the two colors.

Step 2: Freehand the ceiling of the sistine chapel in a repeating pattern around your miniature's leg. It's important that the fingertouch lines up. Think about how the sistine chapel would stretch and bend around the leg of the harlequin.

Step 3: now we're going to paint over most of the sistine pattern we've just freehanded, leaving a very simple diamond pattern. Juuuuuuust like this. See? That was very easy! Remember, practice makes perfect."

I would love to see tutorials on all the techniques Forgeworld covers in their masterclass books.
