The Basic Brush Currently editing a bunch of videos including KOW Armada, Onus Tranius (my current favourite game) and testing a £10 airbrush. I've also been working on another project. A show where I ask people to show treasure and tales from their backlog. Any guesses what any of these 5 might represent? Which model has been in your backlog the longest? (2 years ago)
 
 
The Basic Brush Hello brushes, I received a KS called Onus! Traianus the other day and have been playing it pretty consistently. Enjoyed it so much that I reached out and asked them if I could have a discount code for anyone interested: YoSoyTuPadre (15% off their website). https://dracoideas.com/shop/en/16-onus This is NOT an affiliate link, I just thought the game was awesome. I'll be releasing a video next month about it. Imagine tabletop wargaming but with massive scalability, from a warband to a legion. The game includes fog of war, formations, leaders, campaigns, growth campaigns and even a solo mode. Best thing is you can play it on a coffee table or at the pub. They currently have a KS going for a fantasy battler, only €19 and has only 500 backers! It's not quite the same thing but worth checking out and it's live on KS for the next 28days: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/... They are also releasing an update for Onus including characters from Under The Eagle by Simon Scarrow. Which is one of my favourite book series, if you enjoy Roman history check it out. Thanks for reading and see you next month. A bunch of videos about how to play my favourite games! Battle that backlog! Sam Ps I was running Phillip 2 of Macedonia Vs Hadrianus and his foul legions Vs ‪@GeekPrideTV‬ . He had me on the ropes but my heavy cavalry managed to break through and kill the tyrant!

The Basic Brush Hello folks, What is your biggest hobby achievement? I'm an average guy with no particular skill at painting hence the name Basic Brush. Instead my goal is to encourage the vast majority who are like me, if I can do it so can you! The biggest one I'm working on right now is converting my loft into a hobby space. I'm an IT Trainer with no building skills but if I can do it so can you 😁* *Please don't do anything structural or technical (gas, water, electrical) without consulting a professional!

The Basic Brush *Moved until next week* - My OBS update broke everything and to top it off my second monitor has died. I'm still hobbying, feel free to jump into the discord and post/see the photos! See/hear you next week :-D They called me mad, they said it was a bad idea. Well on the 2nd of November 19:30 we will find out. Join me as we chat LIVE audio via discord to viewers of the stream. Hope to hear you then! ponned (3 years ago)

Tip: Base layer > Drybrush > Wash > Drybrush. The wash will darken your first drybrush one or two steps and blend it in to the base layer giving a nicer transition from base layer to drybrush.

Thanks so much! Seeing a "bad" example was very helpful and I really appreciate the detailed but swift explanation. Most useful vid on this I've seen by far.
