Ben's Imperial Guard | WARHAMMER 40k | KRIEG | CADIA | ROGAL DORN

[@patrickhall6494]

We all, 100%, need the process for your Krieg and Imperial Guard!

[@jerryzhang2262]

Would love to have a guide on those infantries too.

[@jamesbarkworth9043]

Looks fantastic great job please please do us an infantry guide, when I saw your army all laid out made me wanna start an imperial guard army really gives off the old 3rd edition rule book vibes love it

[@cultofPaintcommissions]

That's all the praise I can ask for! 3rd edition Guard armies are life

[@dragonforgedesign]

@@cultofPaintcommissions Agreed love to see and hear how you painted your troops.

[@sludgedisciple]

Gorgeous work.... truly stunning and grim dark.

[@cultofPaintcommissions]

Thanks very much

[@Maxmillion77]

Ben, big fan of your painting style for the Guard. It really gives that sense of gritty realism with, as you said, relatively simple techniques.

[@cultofPaintcommissions]

Thanks! It's been a bit of trial and error over the years but ultimately, the less is more approach wins!

[@princeofcrows9672]

Really reminds off ww2 styles and the original imperial armour book, a font of phenomenal knowledge. But that aside, I'm loving your work!

[@cultofPaintcommissions]

Thanks very much. High praise to be compared to those books.

[@ThePipLad]

That is an awesome scheme right there

[@cultofPaintcommissions]

Thanks!

[@brim-skerdouglasson]

I'll join the masses and request an infantry guide!

[@jinxsD]

Damm, would love to see an guardsmen guide from Ben aswell here in youtube.

[@HostileGG]

Your Cadia scheme is on point !

[@cultofPaintcommissions]

Thanks!

[@Stevoo4552]

awesome work I love this Paintstyle

[@cultofPaintcommissions]

Thanks

[@shaunhutton2201]

Am I the only wondering why thank looked quite bright then when he started chipping it was way darker? Did you apply an all over wash inbetween & not mention it? I’m Slightly confused.

[@ruslanburnashev1294]

I have the same question. Im trying to apply same colors but the result is brighter.

[@thanksskeletor4812]

Yeah there is no way these are the only steps, I can almost see an oil wash. I'd LOVE to have a full tutorial for the vehicles .

[@Sgt_Colt]

Need to see how you painted your Krieg and Cadians! Love the look!

[@Ammonitemare1711]

Ben your guard look fantastic. I love the scheme you have on the tank, its impressive how well it could fit in with either army. Seeing people use these more scale modeling style techniques on warhammer is the best.

[@zacheryredden5417]

It's amazing how much better the Guard tanks look without the side sponsons.

[@adamduncombe594]

What a fantastic video. Really well articulated. Thanks for taking the time to share

[@McBurnside6380]

Fantastic work. This is similar to how I paint realistic tanks for my 28mm ww2 games. When I first saw this tank, I wasn't a fan. But it looks way better without all of the additional weapons and so forth. I'd probably alter the tow hooks to be more like the loops found on WW2 German tanks only because they extend beyond the treads and would likely catch on obstacles.

[@cultofPaintcommissions]

Thankyou, it's an easy kit to strip down so very achievable. Good point about the tow hooks.

[@neoisolationist8790]

Positively outstanding work. Thank you.

[@ericrhinehart9155]

I’ve got an ancient guard army poorly painted when I were a kid, this video has inspired me to get an airbrush and to start building up new plastic kreig and repainting my tanks. Would love to see and infantry video.

[@Grimdark_Mark]

This has to be the best looking Rogal Dorn Ive seen!

[@taromodelmaker]

Love what you've done with this mate, esp with how you have built the kit

[@cultofPaintcommissions]

Thanks mate appreciate it

[@deanhodgson155]

I agree, the removal of some of the extra guns has really brought the tank to the next level

[@dinnyskips]

oop, really inspired by your krieg force. using gaunt and ursula as the bases for krieg HQ's is something I just... never thought of doing.

[@cultofPaintcommissions]

Glad it's inspired you, make your own and let us know how it goes.

[@nicholassmith7984]

Definitely need to steal this method! I'd love to know how you did the infantry, too.

[@cultofPaintcommissions]

[@jayjay8970]

Using this method to paint a Primaris army. Walking human tanks. Grimdark. Thanks for the guide!

[@hobbygoblinjoe5633]

You may have just sold me on this army, love the scheme, really hits all the notes that I love in a grimdark army

[@cultofPaintcommissions]

Thanks! The miniature range is perfect for using all these techniques to get that style

A nice quick project/methods with superb results✌️👍😊 I've not painted military vehicles for years - I have a small train load to do, that are to be lightly weathered. I'd been putting it off, now I'm looking forward to it 💜👍😊😊

[@WillCalwell]

Very simple method but it looks great. Nicely done.

[@joshuajanus1253]

Looks fantastic! While Guard-i-mean-Militarum does not take my heart much, I always learn so much from this channel! I'm inspired to pick up an airbrush to expand my techniques and help with completing my golden Necrontyr army!

[@sibilleharkus5376]

Thanks for the tutorial! I would love to also see one for the Cadian infantry, or maybe you can tell us which colours you used :)

[@jensskautrup640]

Thank you for sharing your methods. I think you achieve a lot, with a lot fewer steps than i anticipated. Hope we’ll see a guide for your cadian infantry soon! :)

[@1elaleman1]

Can you please create a guide for the infantry? I'd really appreciate it!

[@sgt.slippy]

Really nice Ben, can we get a tut for the Cadian Troopers please? And is it right on the tank you didnt use a wash? Only Chipping on the Panals?

[@cultofPaintcommissions]

Yep it was just a few passes of the sponge weathering. You can drag the sponge down the model as well as dabbing it to get a streaked effect

[@4535jacks]

Please do an infantry and sentinel guide using this scheme.

[@geddoente]

pls do one for the infanterie, looks very good

[@alanwadey2848]

I like what you have done with that model. I also think that an anti mine roller or mine flail mounted on th ehull front would look good.

[@wolfshead1978]

[@wolfshead1978]

@@alanwadey2848 yep, they were grouped together under 79th Armoured Division "Hobart's Funnies" and saw very specific, and limited use. There is a very good reason that you don't see them fitted to modern Main Battle Tanks.

[@alanwadey2848]

@@wolfshead1978 I am awarre ;-), however that doesn't make them any less striking in appearance. I do recall seeing US M1 MBT's fitted with anti mine roller at some point in the last 10-15 years though. Certainly a very specific solution to a very specific problem, but one not entirely without merit.

[@TheAngelosShow]

Looks amazing - Can I ask how you painted the gun metals on the gatling cannon and end of the main gun please? Is it just drybrishing a metal colour over the base colour?

[@Raizen305]

It’s looks awesome, but I do wish some of these videos would help people that don’t have access to air brushes.

[@Harbley]

Would love to know what paints you use on the tracks for that dark steel look! Did you use a dremel to cut the winged scull off the front gun shield? Makes the dorn look so much better great idea! Looks amazing

[@cultofPaintcommissions]

I used a small razor saw and filed the Aquila off, before smoothing it all down with fine grit sanding paper. The tracks were simply Death Korps Drab as a basecoat, then add a little medium grey to that for a highlight

[@lioneldurden308]

Hey man looks awesome! Have a favor to ask, could you give the specific measurements of its dimensions? I need: -Height with the Turret -Width (Without Sponsons) -Length I want to Loot a few for my orks and want to ensure it's close to the measurements of what I want to run it as. Thanks man!

[@lewisconklin7252]

Cool

[@alanhastings498]

Have you used enamel washes in this? It looks like the sponge chipping step really grimed it up, or is there an enamel or oil here too?

[@damnationdan5253]

Those decals are great ! I tried to print my own dkok ones but forgot that printers don’t print white. How do you get yours?

[@Harbley]

Pretty sure they are either on the new vehicle transfer sheet but you can also get them in the plastic krieg infantry box

[@trevorduwve4578]

Where can I see more of the infantry at 0:38 that’s the exact greys I’m looking for my krieg.

[@Wijkert]

Hi Ben, great video! Love efficient techniques and realistic looking finishes and this tank definitely ticks both boxes. Some C&C for the video itself. Hope you don't mind. - You speak relatively fast and especially for us non-native speakers, it might be beneficial to slow down a bit. - There is some static or white noise in the background when you speak. Reminds me of an microphone boost being active; could be something else. Hopefully the overall sound quality will improve over time. Henry's and Andy's voice overs sound a little bit better.

[@jeffholt9437]

Nice to see a mature armour model effect on a GW tank - what did you paint the wheels and tracks with?

[@cultofPaintcommissions]

Thanks, the tracks and wheels are painted with a Death Korps Drab basecoat, then highlighted with a mix of that plus a little bit grey.

[@cultofpaint]

We promise Ben will get one done, but currently the Commissions Studio is very busy. As soon as we can free him up we will.

[@1elaleman1]

​@@cultofpaintAny updates on that timeline? =)

[@darrylelam256]

I actually really like the Rogal Dorn, its different enough from the other tanks but still fits right in with the other tanks. The RD is bit busy in its looks and I think it has a few too many guns. But the guns are well placed and enough of the extras can be removed to make it look goo. The Taurox is needless busy and the guns are poorly placed There is no saving the Taurox althou there are some conversion that make it less of an eyesore, I'm very happy to see that Gamesworkshop is going back in the right direction. The RD is also bigger the a Russ and with stats to back it up, a great center piece for an army, especially for smaller games where you would never field a Baneblade(I so rarely field mine). Unlike the new sentinel which is bigger just for the sake of being bigger in the end that are just bigger targets when you want the enemy to ignore them. While the new models do look good and fit into the army range, I do like the look of the old ones better. The RD being bigger than a Russ can be used to draw in enemy fire where you want it while it has increased suitability. All in all I think the RD is a big win compared to the last two vehicles released for the IG.

[@FlamerFingers]

Why would you go for a high contrast coloring on the panels, and then do the weathering in a realistic fashion? It goes against the three foot distance mindset and just makes it look messy.

[@KevinSpecialK]

Do you ever have anyone complain about the missing sponsons? Assuming you add them to your sheet for the extra damage.

[@AppleAirsoft]

Collected guard since I got into warhammer when I was in primary school and I really dislike the new models but I think you stripped off most of the really terrible design from the new russ replacement, probably the best looking I have seen it (those stupid hull mounted nipple guns wtf).

[@cultofPaintcommissions]

I do prefer the stripped down version. With all the upgrades and extra weapon systems on its just too busy for me
