Pale sand
My friends were doing this back in 97 when I first met them. Ya, know back in the drayage's. They were really into drybrushing and their drybrush painting looked as god or better than the vast majority of painted models. Not sloppy at all.
whoa whoa whoa hold on, what was that SW Legion army at 11:31?? 😀
Super interesting – I go bone undercoat, brown shade then rebone highlight
Cool. YT has un-subbed me also from your channel. wonder how many videos I have missed. I have re-subbed.
What's your recommendation for the dark wash you use, please? Thanks. 🙂
Slap chop ain't new. Its a quick zenithal way of painting miniatures that's been done for decades.
Thank you!
Very useful video; and very articulately presented. And, I really appreciated the comparison tests.
Hi Dana, congrats on being part of the army painter speedpaint team!
time to apply these findings to the one model i have to paint but cant be arsed to spend any time
Rob did not invent slapchop we were doing that decades ago with washes instead of contrast paints
Those without airbrushes can also get a similar base as your airchop style by grabbing a black, grey, and white aerosol primer and just doing a layered zenithal prime job, if anyone might be interested.
I wonder how this will look on T'au crisis suites and drones.
Great review. Love the comparison of different styles. Congrats on becoming part of the Army Painter development team.
Damn that sponsor segue was so smooth and underhanded it was almost a troll!
Fantastic comparison of variations on the method, Dana. thanks so much! I had tried doing the "Grey Chop" method on an Infinity model and found it a bit dark/flat when finished, and here you've identified Grey Chop as the least impressive variation, so after seeing your results with the "PaleChop" variation, I think that'll be what I try next. Thanks again!
You mentioned "chalky" with the drybrush, Ninjon says that using a texture palette can help reduce the reduction in moisture, did you try that? also, my personal opinion is the #6 is too blown out and #4 has the similar problems to #6, in that it's too saturated.
I enjoy your videos, this was helpful!
Always love your videos, and I visited the site as soon as you mentioned it, brilliant! I'll get a lot of use it of that
Thank you very much for all these tests and explanations ! This is just perfect ! 🙂
Find another name for this method please, it sounds like moist
This wasn't created by Rob, it's an old technique thats been used by historical gamers for years.
Very interesting video. Keep up the good work.
HolyMoly these look dank
I'm going to rock the world with my revolutionary spraychop!
No, but really, legit question, the airgun is such a divisive line, why not just point out that a zenithal spray can be done with a rattle can?
Nice vid, like the rundown of the styles and techniques 🙂
Although, Warcraft and not Warhammer?
What’s pink ink is used in this video, and what paint is used for the black recess shade?
I may have misunderstood slapchop, but I always thought it included a zenithal prime before the pre-highlight drybrush. I first saw it used on a Sorastro video for painting Lord of the Rings: Journeys in Middle Earth minis.
I’ve been using this technique for years and it works for me because I really hate painting and it gets my minis on the table fast.
Could you airchop but with rattlecans?
Slapchop works great, but I don’t think it works well with the colors you used. Too bright for slapchop to look how it’s supposed to look
I like your contrast website, but it isn't super useful with the miniatures all photographed at different light levels and angles and not in a lightbox.
Looks great.
With contrast, speed paint and soon Vallejo's entry into the scene, it's an exciting time to be painting.
Never saw slapchop before, looks interesting, I think I’ll give it a try. Thanks.
Best elaboration on the slapchop method that I've seen. Thank your for those test! This will help me decide how I'll go for my Genestealer Cult army.
Great review of the slapchop!!! This answered so many questions I had about possible combos/techniques. Cheers!
