In this video I’m basically talking myself off the ledge while I try to finish an army on a deadline—15 Votann Berserks at once—which is, honestly, just about the worst way to batch paint if you value your sanity. I break down what “batch painting” actually means: lining up a pile of models and doing one color/step across all of them like a factory line. The upside is real efficiency—less bouncing between paints, less waste, and you get into a groove where the technique becomes almost mindless and consistent. But the big downside is burnout. Batch painting can feel like you’re doing session after session and “nothing is getting done,” because you don’t get that steady drip of finished-model dopamine. My main advice is to keep your batches small if you struggle to finish projects—start with 3 to 5 models, get some wins, and build confidence. I also talk about “order of operations” (paint core-out, and do the hard-to-reach center areas first) so you’re not constantly fixing mistakes. If you want to go big, a hybrid approach works: get 15 to tabletop-plus quickly, then finish in chunks of five—stay in the rhythm, and don’t walk away for two months.
