I like the idea of heavy snow bases for these - it would really help with the contrast from a distance on the gaming table.

[@Jacksonmontyart]

I think it could work but overall they would need a cooler color scheme to feel like they are part of that environment. Even if it’s a bounce light or cooler shadows

[@paulsalterego8700]

​@@JacksonmontyartI did this with purple blue black frostbitten skin. Blood drops on snow look amazing on bases.

[@skimnsurf72]

​@@paulsalterego8700 Love that idea. Any tips on where to substitute the cool colors into this scheme or the scheme that you followed?

[@xagric1840]

I had the same idea of a snowy base

[@ApeArson259]

cult of paint is easily the best mini painting/guide channel on youtube. everything is top-notch and very in depth. it has taken my painting to the next level tremendously fast

[@cultofpaint]

That's great to hear, thanks for watching!

[@simonsparkes1991]

Definitely snow bases! Will be using this guide for mine when I get the army box

[@slymarbo7613]

I'd definitely like to see your take on snow bases even if you don't change them for this army. The battlefield/swamp/necromunda bases have all been great, snow would be a great addition. Also love the different skin tones on all the ghouls!

[@cultofpaint]

I did enjoy those necro bases. Must do some more!

[@danielellyot]

fucking incredible as usual Henry. They look like they've jumped straight out of the artwork.

[@cultofpaint]

Thanks Dan!

[@jim4549]

I think the models and the your bases make them very cohesive. I would'nt change a thing, your showing us the whole story with these models.

[@cultofpaint]

And what a noble story it is!

[@CesarIsaacPerez]

Yeah, I never cared for the Flesh-Eater courts until the announcement where they showed off the new minis specially Ushoran! Can't wait for the rest of the new army sculpts to come out.

[@thesadcrab6685]

An update would be fantastic, this is very inspiring for my FEC

[@Wijkert]

Airbrushing your base rims with a S75 paint at the end is pretty brave I would say! Do appreciate how smooth the came out though.

[@shanewilson2924]

every time you show a personal project the video is fantastic

[@Cloo41]

This video inspired me to go out and get this box.

[@matthewthomas5657]

Absolutley post updates and snow should look awesome!

[@Pennywhen]

Absolutely love the purple shadows!

[@benjaminjack867]

These look great! Awesome idea for a speed paint

[@nomad8723]

If you had wanted to do snow bases, I would have inverted the tones of the scheme, with the warms on top and cools on the bottom. I think they look much better as they stand because while the contrast from the snow bases would be great for readability on the table, they would look disjointed from the base, as snow normally casts cool reflections and shadows. Perhaps for an equivalent snow scheme, it'd be deep blues and greens for the shadows, with the highlights being red and yellow, with room still for the purple in there. As for the obviously airbrushed parts, a quick drybrush, some sketchy freeform veins or stipling helps with that, even some splotchy spots of discoloration. It would be another step, but for a centerpiece it might be worth the work. Definitely a really dynamic and evocative scheme, which is really inspiring for all the reasons you said. After painting grimdark with all the metallics and stark inorganic shapes, I think it would be really helpful to do a much more painterly (airbrusherly?), natural project.

[@soerenfeddersen3560]

Awesome result. Congrats for the new army. I will take this as an inspiration for speed painting my army.

[@RancidCatStudio]

One of your best videos, gorgeous and effective.

[@daedalus6796]

Wow these are some cool AoS Bretonnians.

[@jasonnoack3771]

This might be my favorite of all your army projects you've shown so far. They are just so beautiful. Can't wait to see more of them painted up, especially Ushoran. Brilliant.

[@Spartan1981uk]

God damn you Henry! I've just gone and ordered the Flesh Eater Courts box set on the back of being transfixed throughout the whole of this video. Absolutely stealing this colour scheme but don't worry, my amateurish skills won't challenge your finished models in any way! Excellent video, in case there was any doubt!

[@cultofpaint]

You're welcome! Enjoy!

[@user-rs3ir7zt7t]

Great result! Definitely eager to see the snow bases

[@marceld3086]

The skin tones on these guys looks great, definitely using this when i do an fec army. I would love to see more of this. For the snow bases, I'm not shure if it would work with this warm shadow tones, but i would definitely like to see a video on snow bases. Maybe if you don't end up doing them for fec maybe do one for the slaves to darkness, maybe this also helps you to get motivation back for that army.

[@cultofpaint]

Every little helps for that project!

[@TheRotbringer]

Very similar idea to what I did. I have found that I enjoy using shade paints over zenithol. Don’t ruin them by covering them in blood. They look so nice as is.

[@altsien]

Wow, you made this look so simple.

[@jmbryant]

Great video as ever. I appreciate your army painting ethos and love how getting things on the table remains the ultimate goal. Playing more in 2024 is my main resolution.

[@redmarson261]

I was thinking snow as I was watching this also! These do look great though. Maybe some patchy dirty snow?

[@redmarson261]

+scheme is great too, love the simplicity of it

[@cultofpaint]

.......dirty snow..

[@redmarson261]

@@cultofpaint definitely not soiled or anything...

[@user-pr3tj9zz9k]

Would love to see an update when the new models come out, I might use this scheme myself!

[@goosterpaints731]

They look great and I enjoy you typical style of presentation. Would like to see a snow base, but you could do just one test model. I’m more interested in the process (since I’ve never done snow bases myself). I have the army box of these to paint and haven’t even thought about basing yet…

[@cultofpaint]

I'm going to do a snow based project soon.

[@picassawi5578]

I'd definately like to see your take on snow bases, especially a heavier snow version. Great work as always!

[@ProrokLebioda]

Great video! Can't wait to see update when rest of the models drop! Usharan will look sick in this moody scheme!

[@little_hunt3r]

23:20 I love your videos for that very reason. No nonsense. Just amazing videos with amazing techniques and amazing narration.

[@stefanpfitzer3467]

Looks Epic!

[@shankley_has_a_brush]

I wouldn't go snow, however, I'd love to see a continuation of your FEC army.

[@asuranshadow9491]

Glad these took off for you. You guys were so fired up about S2D at the start of the year, and then....never really understood what happened, it had seemed like you found a compromise to push through with them. But you're clearly on fire with these guys, would ride that as far as you can. I came up with an army scheme I like that is reasonable to execute for my stormcast, but I have trouble fitting an army into my painting schedule when the majority of my play time is skirmish level.

[@cultofpaint]

Stormcast sound like a good choice for that then. Elite little units, great minis.

[@eriqone9245]

The red tone is so nice!

[@8bitape]

They look lovely and have given me some ideas for painting a Tomb King army. Agree that snow bases would contrast nicely with the models, but also snow bases look a bit odd on the table to me (unless of course you are playing on a snowy surface). Tricky!

[@cultofpaint]

Completely agree. But I guess the aim of this project was to not worry about that type of thing.

[@jamesalexander222]

Snow bases just because I need to learn! Seriously though, they look phenomenal, wonderful video!

[@grayfox2618]

Would love to see how you make these snowy! Great video!

[@victorp4210]

love the speedpaint process thansk a million !!! snow bases please yes ! :)

[@Wijkert]

1:30 very true! Experienced that yesterday when airbrushing after not having done so for a couple of weeks. The booth was dirtier than I realised and the mini ended up with dust particles in the paint. Lesson learned; next time I will vacuum before starting.

[@jfoerster]

I really like your videos. I’ve been subscribed for a couple of years but just recently started to take the time to watch the videos. They are well thought out, you get to watch the progress, and it feels like it is achievable in the end. Well done you guys! I recently got to be a patreon as well because i absolutely adore the marshal that Andy painted.

[@cultofpaint]

That's great to hear. And thanks for taking the time to let us know.

[@rapha6245]

Amazing. Actually it would be very cool to see pictures of the army on the table, when you play it ! (True for all your work haha)

[@cultofpaint]

We will try harder to take good gaming pics. We are often playing in crap light so they never come out very well!

[@kerishlotaan]

Looks so good, im doing something similar with mine but going a very different route, gonna be interesting when i get my stuff done to have a compare and contrast.

[@lordinquistorrayn1249]

Very good video and love the scheme 👍

[@cultofpaint]

Thank you very much!

[@FacesNBases]

I love it when you get unexpectedly excited for a new gang or army and can see a lot of enjoyment in this scheme. Some great army painter tricks and, as much as I hate agreeing with Ben, a winter base would frame the warm skin tones nicely imho. Merry Christmas guys. Thanks for all the videos and tuition this year. Here's to a great 2024.

[@spectraltalon3851]

These came out awesome. Another army I want to paint now. As for bases, I would keep them as is. I think they feel more like a Souls game type feel and that tends to be cold grey colours. Utterly top stuff

[@Jacksonmontyart]

If you do the snow bases I think the color scheme will need to be slightly cooler to make them feel like they are part of that environment. Like a cooler bounce light from the snow or in the shadows. Right now they feel like they are in a Cloudy overcast environment that rains a lot which I quite like. For another possible direction, making them look wet would lean into your environment you already have and could give you some really cool specular highlights. Whatever you decide I’m sure they will look great.

[@cultofpaint]

Yeah, I pictured them damp and dingy.

[@MaskedRiderChris]

Hmm, I've been known to use Typhus Corrosion to that end when it comes to adding texture to weapons and such. I'll have to try using some of my basing paste to this end to see what results I get. These guys look great, Henry!

[@rubberduckaj]

Absolutely need to see some snow bases! Been looking forward to it since that first StD video!! 😜

[@cultofpaint]

Haha yeah.....

[@SparkSovereign]

I feel like a tiny bit more of a highlight to add just that extra depth would be awesome...but they already look awesome, and adding that extra highlight would definitely reduce the ratio of time vs look by a ton, and from experience it's no small thing to keep everything looking unified post highlight when using airbrush glazes on skin like this. It looks killer, I'd be thrilled to play across the table from an army like this! I'm not personally feeling the snow, but it's your army and the important thing is that you enjoy it. You clearly enjoy the process and result you have here, so why mess with success?

[@themortlord7212]

firstly these look amazing! I know how I am doing my ghouls know! secondly yesssss SoD - WoC for the old world!!

[@Wijkert]

Interesting that you have been using Shade paints more often as you transparent paint of choice. Planning to experiment with premade washes in that way more in the future. Interesting to use them as tints in this way.

[@philthymofo]

I always like the FEC looks but this new box got me deep, such great minis, so I dived in. These look AMAZING - I prefer the stark bases over the idea of snow.

[@heinerb4807]

😮 This is exactly, what I was looking for! 🎉 I recently did an airbrushing beginners workshop and wanted to incorporate and practise using my airbrush with my next project. The end result looks very moody and more than beautiful enough for the tabletop. The whole process seems very managable compared to some of your other videos, which excites me even more. I love your paint jobs but often end up with slapchop+X because I dont have a focus und painting and feel have to get things done before I lose interest and jump to something else. I decided against your "recipe" for the Slaves to Darkness for that reason. Although I reeeaaally loved the aesthetics. It saddens me to hear, that you put that project on hold and it weights on your soul. I sincerly hope you find a reason and the right energy to get it done one day. For now, I thank you for this video and for providing me with guidance for my next painting project. 🙏❤

[@M0U53B41T]

Snow would definitely be a contrast but tbh I just think they're over done atm just my two cents!

[@Wijkert]

Interesting, mixing paint into a texture paint to get the right color right away. Will actually be trying that on the model I am currently working on. Looking for a strong corroded look on the metal of my skeletons. Have noticed that when I apply the texture paint before priming, the different layers of paint can obscure the lovely micro texture of the texture paint.

[@cultofpaint]

Only thing I've found is the lighter colour of the paste does lighten the colour up. It's why I used the wildwood, in the end it basically looked like rhinox

[@adambman2]

When you mentioned bases I thought they were great as they were, and just that they're in something other than snow. Then in the last turnaround shot I saw some that could do with the added contrast of snow and sludge on the bases. Still, I'm trying to think of armies that'd go well with these bases as they are, maybe Iron Warriors, Word Bearers, or World Eaters... maybe some Necrons with some copper in there too!

[@cultofpaint]

Yeah I might play around with these colours a bit more. Done often do dark grey basing

[@monkeyhammer]

lovely job, the contrast in this scheme looks great. i think you should have a play with them on the table first before deciding on the snow. i'm actually in a very similar place at the moment with a project i just started with rusty orange armoured skeletons with purple cloth. i've just based them on grey cobble texture at the moment, but i'm planning on painting up the mausoleum scenery to see how they look in place before i decide if i'm going to snow them up.

[@cultofpaint]

good idea

[@miguipingui]

Maybe not snowy bases but more of a cold water feeling because snow can be too white, but maybe some pools of frozen cracked waters and cold cold blues could be great❤

[@cultofpaint]

Icicles and dusting of snow could be good

[@miguipingui]

@@cultofpaint Henry I honestly think that's a genius idea

[@KK-nl1kn]

amazing video, this made me buy the big army box as well, can you tell me how you did the stones/ropes for the big monsters? they got some moss on them etc, they look amazing

[@cultofpaint]

Thanks! the moss is just a bit of green oil paint, applied just like the grey I did on the skin.

[@jeffstjean9184]

Fantastic work. The only thing I would do if they were mine is a very light dry brush of a pale skin tone over the face/shoulder areas and maybe hands. Just a few passes to draw the eye. I have about 2000 points of unbuilt FEC from the last time they added to the line but just can't get into the game itself. I really want to paint and use the models.... maybe a Kings of War army.

[@jonathanalston1552]

Loved the video, great as usual Henry!! Snow bases would look lovely with that skin tone i reckon. I've been itching myself to try a scheme by Trovarian using liquid pigments in layers (bright blue and then white) to simulate icy snow. He did a video a while back on it. Something similar here might go nicely with this. Although filthy, dirty, muddy snow might just be more appropriate 😂

[@cultofpaint]

Filthy dirty and muddy. Mmmmmm

[@dsanchez23fight]

Please do an update when Ushoran comes out

[@emmanuelbovy8189]

What à wonderful video !!! Many thanks for the quality of your explanations. As i don’t have any airbrush it’s quite difficult to make And...unfortunately you made me brake my promise of beeing reasonable this year😂 Keep going on

[@Wijkert]

I am with Ben and would go with snow bases. Would make them muddy though. That would fit the theme better and decrease the value contrast between the mini's and the bases. Have done muddy snow bases for my Frostgrave warband in the past and they came out quite well. I recommend going for a slightly wet look, like melted snow, those came out the best.

[@tr48092]

Henry: i like the bases as is, without snow. Also, i am painting a few vampires soon. How would you change this scheme for a vampire?

[@cultofpaint]

Probably go for blue. But there's also a very good chance im gonna paint up some Soulblight soon. I 've really enjoyed these minis and have always admired the Death range

[@tr48092]

@@cultofpaint Henry, thank you as always for your reply. I would really enkoy seeing you paint some soul blight as i have some of them i want to work on soon

[@CoryJohnsonfootsteps]

I love this so much! I think I would personally prefer to own bases like the ones you have here, but selfishly as a content consumer... I would love a guide on good snowy and bloody bases. But if I were you, I wouldn't change a thing.

[@cultofpaint]

Thanks! I like them too

[@user-px7ol4mb5r]

I think snow might spoil these slightly. If anything the bases look colder than if they had snow on them.

[@stevedeschenes9199]

keep it like this... don't think the snow bases gone look as nice! Great video

[@swapyyy]

Great video, lot of ideas and amazing result! Could you tell me how do you generally thin your Citadel paints for airbrushing (thinner brand/ratio), please?

[@cultofpaint]

Whatever airbrush thinner I have to hand, normally Vallejo or lifecolour. And ratio will change depending on the paint and what Im doing with it, there is no one size fits all. I'm this video it's mainly contrast paints and shades, so I am adding maybe 1 drop of thinner per 5-10 of the paint.

[@duxbellorum01]

Love these. I think where I went wrong, is I lost too much of the burgundy/magenta undercoat with my grey zenithal and I ended up brushing on the shades instead of airbrushing, which I think made it much more opaque. Overall I’m ok with mine, but should have followed it to the letter to achieve the same effect. Thanks Henry!

[@cultofpaint]

You could always go back in and hit them with the burgundy from underneath?

[@duxbellorum01]

I debated that, but they are decent enough as is. Just could have used a little less zenithal to begin with. Thanks for your reply good sir

[@SteeleGames]

Love the color scheme here, I think it works extremely well. When you did the airbrush shade for the skin to color it, did you cover the whole model or were you zenithal "highlighting" the shade onto the upper areas and not hitting the burgundy underneath? Thanks!

[@cultofpaint]

I didn't deliberately spray it over the burgundy as it won't really show up. But equally it doesn't matter if there is any overspray

[@Balls_Mahony]

Snow patches? Means your work doesnt go to waste, and adds another nice detail.

[@Wijkert]

Curious how you did the fleshy banners. I think they came out really well.

[@cultofpaint]

Just guilliman Flesh

[@shaneflewellen8784]

Wonderful scheme on these! Was curious if you could tell me, I just received my first airbrush for Christmas, do you recommend using any type of spray box or ventilation, or does a mask suit you fine for any cause of concern? Thanks for any tips and I have been loving your videos!

[@cultofpaint]

Check out the little intro to airbrushing playlist we've got. Should answer all the questions. And good luck!

[@shaneflewellen8784]

[@sluki6190]

Brilliant Video!!! unfortunately I can't get my hands on the Tamiya JN Grey, any recommandations for an acrylic equivalent? Thanks for your awesome Content!

[@cultofpaint]

Whatever you normally airbrush as your white will work just fine.

[@Jason-gq8fo]

I don’t understand how you paint so much and it looks great too 😭 maybe playing games helps with motivation. looking amazing though seriously, I’m very tempted by the new FEC but I think I might wait and see if skaven gets a refresh and then pick between them. But I gotta start my first AoS army CoS before that lol

[@cultofpaint]

It's my job. If I was just painting in my free time it would take a lot longer to get things finished! As for motivation, the biggest factor for me is having a great little group of mates that I game with.

[@nik.nak23]

Lovely scheme! 🔥Looks awesome and I really like it, so I might try it myself since I am currently building the army box! Your personal projects really make a lot of fun to watch and do motivate to paint some miniatures! Snow Bases could give the whole scheme another nice touch, but they already look great, so they don't necessarily need it. I do have some questions regarding the gorewarden: Did you paint his necklace the same way like you painted the bone parts in the video? And how did you paint the pillar/stone the gorewarden stands on? There seems to be a kind of "moss effect" on it? And last question: Is the body on the pillar painted with guilliman flesh like you painted the drum cover and the flags? Thanks in advance and I am looking forward to more videos in which you expand your army and especially I am thrilled how your Ushoran will look like!

[@cultofpaint]

Necklace the same way, just added a bit of rattling grime to the tips. Pillar is just Petroleum Grey, bit of karak stone mixed in for highlight. Then starship wash, and a green oil wash (the mossy bits) Yes corpse is just guilliman Flesh, with a highlight missing in a little karak stone.

[@nik.nak23]

Hi Henry, First of all I want to tell you that I am a huge fan of your work, videos and miniatures. Every week I look forward to Thursday evening and all the Patreon uploads! I love your flesh eater courts videos and used those for my army box. Ushoran, the new characters and a unit of Morbheg knights are currently on my painting desk. Regarding the morbheg bats: what color do you thing could be used instead of gore grunta fur for the bat skin for a second unit to have some color variation? What do you think would work? I thought about basilicanum grey, but I am really bad in being creative and also in color theory. And another question I have is: How would you paint the wig of grand judge gormayne ? Just Like the rest of the human skin bits with guilliman flesh? And highlights mixed in with pale blue? Any advice on some kind of „gore effect“? Last but not least do you think that for the abhorrent cardinal leaving the white crest/part of his cloak with the preshaded Jn Grey could work? Or do you have another advice regarding this miniature? Once again, I am really sorry for my questions. Thanks in advance and keep up your great work!😊

[@cultofpaint]

Thanks mate, always happy to answer questions like this. So i think a dark grey would be a great alternative for the bats. The wig i'd do exactly the same, just gman flesh, i'd probably be tempted to paint a thin layer of gloss varnish over it too. For the pope's hat I would probably do a coat of apoth white contrast over the preshade, and then follow all the other steps as usual. Best of luck!

[@nik.nak23]

@@cultofpaint thank you very much for your answer and advice! It’s is just awesome that you always answer and help out in the comments!☺️

Hi, what contrast did you use for the ghoul right behind the Gorewarden? I am painting Morgaunt Ghouls and I wanted to make them more interesting without losing the almost white skin tone. Amazing paint job btw!

[@cultofpaint]

[@JackRovat]

Thank you a lot!

[@dhanu_4539]

since you don't use gloss finishes/different finishes, I feel that the paint should be adding more contrast to make up for it. the color choices are great, but I don't think they'll be visible under bad lighting.

[@cultofpaint]

Rattlecan it with wraithbone. Turn upside down and either rattlecan it with a purple or drybrush on purple. Then apply the rest by brush.

Yeah if you dont want to use oils then other washes could be worth doing to provide some more definition.

[@MrLeviathan40k]

Please do an update for more FEC!

[@TheMartinicity]

Very nice video, I was struggling to find a fast yet qualitative scheme to paint this box

[@DoktorTechnometer]

Well, that led to me checking if any non-GW shops still had the box in and Element Games did (10+ stock - whut?) so new unexpected army for 2024 - I had the old Start Collecting FEC already, a couple of horror boxes and the endess spells for reasons that escape me now (and some crypt ghouls off eBay as 20 minimum size now and Start Collecting FEC only has 10). And an Underworlds Grymwatch which I don't recall buying either - at that point any resistance to Ushoran's Curse collapsed and when totalled up is over 2k so again, an unexpected army for 2024. Building them I completely agree that they look great but are not fun to build - very, very fiddly. It took me a while to work out why your scheme resonated with me so much - it is because they are the colour palette of a bruise - something organic and necrotic about that at the same time (which seemed very FEC to me). And also that grimness whilst also being "bright" - you have defenitely cracked that. As a consequence I think any bright white snow will contrast too much and be jarring, and shiny dark red blood as well...my minds eye could be wrong but it doesn't sound like a good mix to me, and grimy polluted yellow snow would probably be unpleasant. Anyway (almost) 750 points in the box, 750 point battle next Wednesday and still off work so I'd best get on with it. But thanks again as this was inspiring enough that I couldn't resist.

[@cultofpaint]

Thanks. And yeah the colours around bruising were deliberate.

[@SHOGUN40K]

Snow up bases please 😁

[@patrickwilson5552]

which shade did you use for the drummer?

[@cultofpaint]

Poxwalker

[@Speakhardly]

I gotta say, the snow bases would probably give some necessary value contrast. I kinda feel like these will still struggle to pop on the gaming table. Somehow these seem too dark, again.

[@cultofpaint]

Thanks for the concern, but they pop plenty. The base just blends in and the models stand out nicely.

[@kamilstehno285]

Can I ask what brush you used at 7:25?

[@cultofpaint]

Artis Opus Series S size 5

[@syre1337]

you might want to double check what JN Grey you used. I have JN Grey XF12 and it's much darker than what is shown here

[@cultofpaint]

It's JN Grey, XF12. I guess my one is much lighter than yours.

[@syre1337]

mine is a bit old. i tried this scheme with bright warm grey from pro acryl instead and it worked out nice if anyone wants an alternative to tamiya. great content btw @@cultofpaint

[@AndyYoung]

To my eye, the models get lost in the current basing -- snow would definitely help.

[@Bootywurk]

Do the snow!

[@TheBraveExalted]

Snow bases for sure, I think that would add a level of contrast to the models especially incorporating some bright red blood dripping into the pure white snow. Fantastic models though, you make me want to get a third army and start collecting FEC.
