Speedpainting Spartans - Cutting the Slap-Chop Method in Half [How I Paint Things]

A while back, someone asked me about painting Spartans. I thought, "But why would anyone be doing that? There's no game for them-" before realizing the number of times I've reskinned Stargrave or Five Parsecs or anything similar. But now, now there's an official game from Mantic with excellent miniatures! What is Halo: Flashpoint? Well, that one's easier than answering 'What is the Matrix?' and doesn't come with any disappointing sequels! https://haloflashpoint.manticgames.co... 00:00 - Intro 01:07 - Priming Notes 02:23 - The 'Half-Slap' 03:30 - One Coat 'Basecoats' 10:08 - The Finished Spartan Thanks to Producer Patrons Alan, Kyrie, Andrew, Jimmy, Rod, Phil, Ben, Robison, David Kinney, Fred, and Matt Dischner - 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!
