Contrast+ How to Paint: Archaon the Everchosen

[@Indianaflynn]

Ok, so I'm completely late to the party but I've been following your videos for over a year now and you are the only reason my models look so damn good. Literally can't get enough of your painting style and finding myself buying these models purely to emulate your own brilliance. Fantastic, please do keep up the good work.

[@onderon]

There was absolutely no need to paint this with Archaon attached but you did it anyways. True mad lad

[@Warhipster]

I couldn't agree more! It was a bit of a flex on my part xD

[@chalkdemon8019]

@@Warhipsterevery tutorial you do is a prime Arnold Schwarzenegger-ish flex Warhipster.

Thanks

[@Warhipster]

Thankyou so much Mark!

[@markwatson1113]

It my pleasure

[@cant_standya]

Your inclination to paint things strictly assembled-in-full is as impressive as it is mental. Trying to maneuver this giant thing to get to behind Archaon's shield/cape and stuff would drive me insane lol, clearly it's working though. Looks incredible.

[@graysaltine6035]

I don't know how effective this is as a guide/tutorial but the miniature is absolutely ridiculous. This has to be GD level or beyond. Fully assembled, no handle.... Your lighting is also really good and definitely working in your favour. You win dude... you win.

[@That_GingerKidHD]

Started the hobby about 4 months ago, your tutorials never go wrong. Thank you for helping me get into the grim dark future

[@EricVanhoof-x1t]

C'est la meilleure chaîne explicative au niveau peinture. Même si c'est un peu trop poussé au niveau des finitions. Mais c'est à l'adresse de larges publics. Bravo pour le soin apporté et surtout à votre matériel et aux prises de vue au niveau de la caméra. 1000x merci. Eric

Really amazing, best miniature painting channel out there

I second this!

[@reaverofdoom9170]

This my god, is so so impressive I can't even begin to start, if you don't do an angron deamon prince tutorial im gonna SCREAM!

[@tracystephens9104]

Watching you paint this model has convinced me to add it to my collection. Well done!!😊

[@Warhipster]

Awesome! Thank you! I hope you have as much fun painting him as I did!

Juste Amazing !

[@Warhipster]

You're amazing too for liking the video!

[@russbramley1270]

great video! im picking mine up next month and I had no idea where to start! Great informative video and a fantastic demonstration!

[@brendenconolly7161]

Epic Josh! Fantastic work!

[@AboveAverageMinis]

Super epic! Jeez that’s some details!!!!

[@littlerebelminis]

I've been struggling with motivation to paint my Archaon because it's an intimidating model but Contrast and dry brushing seems like it goes a long way, I'll be trying this out!

[@nvy3685]

Josh this is amazing!

[@hermandez]

What an amazing job! I was looking for inspiration for a colour scheme for my Seraphon Bastilodon, and I really like this! Going to apply the colours you used for the skin and the wings of the dragon to my big fat dinosaur. Thanks very much for the great vid!

[@theshakeypainter]

Just.....wow....I'm lost for words, this is amazing and makes me want to buy the model just to follow along

[@mikespaintedminis5100]

It was great catching some of this on the live, will definitely be following this when my Archaon turns up! Such an amazing model and you did an amazing job 🙌

[@grimharkness]

This. Is. AWESOME!

[@davehall6053]

That's awesome 😍 You sir, are an absolute genius 👍

[@metalsaur2917]

Chaos supreme!

Chaos the Eversupreme!

[@hmsking]

Shading with artis opus. Respect!

[@Sandmann1193]

Just primed it, but Archaon not yet attached to it until iam finished painting (which can take a while lol). Iam playing and painting for 2 years now, and I would say I improved a lot, but this model is really really intimidating to me just because it's so massive. And although I painted a Stormsurge, painting something "organic" instead of robomech suits is something else somehow. So just watching you and Duncan doing it to prepare me does the trick for now :D

[@5olas]

Great work king.

[@lucagorini48]

NO WORDS!!!! 🔥🔥🔥

Your dulcet tone will lull me to sleep this evening.

[@somethingdifferent5975]

I wish this model will appear in Total War

[@youtubeuser4943]

This is the shit I've been waiting for HELL YEA BOIZ LETS GOOOOO

[@MegaMiniatures]

Looking forward to watching the whole video, it was great to watch you create it live. What contrast colours would you recommend for Tzeentch Flamers? I can’t find a Contrast painting guide anywhere.

[@Warhipster]

Funny you should ask my plan tomorrow is to paint some up for a video this week! I’m leaning towards Briar Queen Chill, Stormfiend and Luxion Purple at the moment but I shall see soon!

[@MegaMiniatures]

@@Warhipster that’s great news! Really looking forward to that one. Thanks.

[@russbramley1270]

Request for varanguard!

I have a feeling Santa might bring me some Varanguard!

[@leviatano91]

I would like to follow you tutorial but i have speedpaints mainly instead of contrast, do you think i might get somethimg similar? I know Is a vague question Just wanted to know your opinion

[@Warhipster]

I think you would probably get an approximation of Archaon here if you converted the paints to Speedpaint. The only thing you might struggle with is the highlighting and the shading parts like the Agrax Earthshade as that's all Citadel's new Shade paints and the Speed Paints haven't got an equivalent without some serious thinning down and that! Sure it's possible though!

[@alexmason3472]

Well, I know what model I buy next 😄

[@Warhipster]

If you do check out my Firestorm Games link above ^^ xDDDDD

[@alexmason3472]

@@Warhipster I will 👌😄

[@themanifesto8363]

Have you ever considered painting the supreme lord of the undead Nagash

[@theodenrex5769]

Noob question, to get the metallic look on Archaon's armour you just shade the black with nuln oil?

[@berniedelaure6750]

Great

[@Warhipster]

Thanks!

[@Josh-bn6lz]

Love your content! Also, (and I mean this as an upmost compliment) has anyone told you that you have the voice of Professor Snape? :)

[@Warhipster]

I get this often. And I don't hear it myself! But then I wouldn't right?

[@Swannymeister]

Yesss even more warhipster chaotic goodness…with you using the newer contrast paints on the tzeentch and nurgle heads would you use them for the greater daemons now?

[@chalkdemon8019]

I’m not him, but I would use Dreadful Visage on a Keeper of Secrets.

[@MMMartinz]

Is a Primer Can Citadel? 😮😮

[@Bk8019-s5r]

Do you dry your brush after cleaning it before smoothing out the shade on the wing membranes or do you leave it wet?

[@Kerath]

[@ivanjelec8029]

Can archaon(atleast his mighty steed) be used for wh40k?

[@TheSnob113]

I've got no sound?

[@Warhipster]

If you pause it for a few minutes and retry it should work! It's a two hour long video that KZbin is probably still processing it may take a few more seconds! I've just checked it on Desktop and on Mobile and I got it working by pausing for a moment on mobile

[@TheSnob113]

@@Warhipster thanks mate, will give it a go. I thought it might be as much as the quality is only 480p for me, so probably youtube doing its shenanigans as you said!

[@Tedy-victoria]

👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@connorbellert8094]

How many hours in total did this take?

[@Warhipster]

It took me exactly, 35 Hours, 19 minutes and 46 seconds. not including the drying time on the base because that would be cheating.

[@thelocuste9171]

next nagash? :D

[@mastryda]

I swore I would never buy a Warhammer miniature and just stick to 40k. This video has convinced me to buy this. ugh just take my money...
