Duncan Rhodes Announces Painting Academy
Duncan Rhodes Painting Academy
As far as the description goes on his channel, it has this to say:
This is the official Duncan Rhodes Painting Academy YouTube channel. Here you will find miniature painting tutorials and other cool videos from us.
The official account was created on February 5th, 2020 so it’s just been sitting there for a bit without any real attention. However, less than 24 hours ago, Duncan put up his announcement video and it’s already generated 25K views.
No other official dates or announcements have been spotted just yet. But be sure to keep your eyes peeled for more content from Duncan. Who knows, he could be doing this solo or with a group of painters he might’ve had some experience working with in the past. Something that we especially get to look forward to is the fact that they’ll probably be painting miniatures outside of the GW line as well.
Without having any contracted ties to the company, it seems like he’ll be free to paint whatever he wants.
