Create CUSTOM Warhammer Schemes For Your Army

[@_fox_3212]

This video is exactly what I needed to overcome my hobby burn out. I was feeling unmotivated and frustrated at my inability to pick a unique colour scheme for my army. I found I would just end up on Google images stealing someone else's paint scheme. Now I am finally able to identify what colours I like and am going to start on my Tyranids :) thanks!

@@MrRattlebones640 I don't think it's that complicated. There are definitely times where my bf doesn't want a certain type of food and he lets me know. It would frankly be weird if he never helped decide where to go. And if he picked a place I didn't like I wouldn't "get in a mood" I would just tell him I don't want to go there and we'd pick a new place. It's possible to compromise or disagree and still get along and have a good time, lol. If she gets in a mood simply bc you have preferences then she doesn't respect you, and you've got bigger problems.

[@Giraffemini]

Also take care when it comes to RATIO of your colour choices. For example: when thinking about the WARMTH of colours: either going for 90% warm colours and 10% cold details for example or the other way around is gonna give you an awesome feel of contrast and attention to certain things. Easy example for this: painting a blood Raven space marine in a warm dark Red and then adding a few cold green or neon green visor, blaster or mashinery detail is really gonna make everything more interesting and set a better contrast then just putting a warm buttery green eyevisors onto an already bright red clown...to even further that offset one can play with the other techniques mentioned in this great video!

[@jambamenome8481]

I remember coming across a 60/30/10 rule for character design. You pick three colours, one covers 60% of the character, the next 30%, and the last 10%. It's a rough template to play with, but it works well with your ratio. Like, a winter-gear soldier with white armour/overalls, some blue/grey areas, and then a yellow/orange visor. Makes the colours pop :D

[@thomasgross8289]

@@jambamenome8481 you're correct with the style the poster speaks of but you gotta be cautious as schemes such as these can easily appear manufactured or "comic book" looking, which isn't bad in itself, just ...be aware of that. Remember, there is few right and wrong things a lot is opinion. Unless of course painting a paticular faction known for a specific color, like yellow for imperial fists

[@tomrea4586]

My favourite video yet. I've been painting minis off and on for 40 years and have always struggled finding a scheme that worked. I've used a colour wheel etc and while that helps, something never clicked. After watching this I'm thinking to myself, duh, how simple was that. Thanks for doing this.

[@tonylusardi5767]

When I choose my paint schemes, I also use that time to pick the theme and colors of my bases. My latest project was a 2K points Bonesplitterz army. I used bright blue and off white snowy/cracked ice bases to compliment the muted greens of my orcs. It really helped make the models pop and come to life.

[@watermelonhelmet6854]

It's really helpful to let your mini inform your choices. For me, it's the most fun part of mini painting. I paint a lot of fantasy and sci-fi display minis, and I love figuring out who the character is, what they're like and letting my paint scheme tell that story.

This is a fantastic video. I took multiple years of art classes in highschool, but always appreciate a refresher on color theory and it's opportunities/applications (especially when discussed in the context of a hobby I really enjoy). I have been thinking about painting a set of Orange marines, and questioning how I can include blue in it without making just straight up orange and blue marines. I think painting in some shadows with a touch of dark navy, and highlighting black accents with a blue/grey highlight would look really good.

Something I often do is look at sports team colors. Seriously. Especially when you consider more recently created teams, color theory goes into their design choices. People are paid a significant amount of money to design the uniforms, etc. Trust they'll look good on your minis because they usually will.

[@calumsanderson6741]

The shot of all three of the dudes is great because you used the same colours on them all but differentiating the applications really makes them feel like individual soldiers. Very, very cool. Gives me a bit more confidence in changing things up when I start painting my minis and McFarlane figures

My favorite place to pick color schemes from is nature, especially for things like lizardmen and tyranids. There's a ton of cool reptiles and bugs out there to get inspiration from. My skinks are all painted like real life blue tongued skinks and my nids' colors are based off blue lobsters.

[@thundalust7889]

Wasn't sure what to expect when I clicked on this video, but it was packed with useful advice and encouragement for people to take on the challenge of creating a custom paint scheme. It's definitely a personal thing. If you rely on someone else to tell you what or how to come up with a scheme you may as well just copy the box art.

The other issues I consider when working on colour schemes is how I interpret what the model is and its accoutrements. For example I am currently practising on Death Guard with Contrast and Metallic paints. I don't see the guard as having bright colours despite the shade of green used in the scheme, (And I did base my scheme on the green on the box art). Instead of treating the sharp protrusions from the body as bone, I decided it was more like horn, like in deer etc. Then I went further and based black, overlaid with brown and tipped with scarlet. It looks dark but works. Tentacles are purple like octopus. Accessories like the brass bells also have that verdigris on them post shading in the old GW Flesh Wash and rimming with the original colour. All dark, dark, dark. Now my force is looking traditional Plague Marine with a twist. And we all know they're twisted. It is about how you see there detail in addition to the main palette.

[@Nextr0nWasTaken]

Thank you for another informative video Scott! I just wanted to add that there is an app called Impcat, that lets you plan your scheme on various template miniatures ranging from Games Workshop to Artel W. There is a community on Reddit creating new templates and you can take a hight quality pic of your unpainted mini and request someone make a template out of it too. The app also already has the Vallejo Game Colour and Model Colour ranges in the app but I believe you could upload Citadel or Scale75 paints as well. I'm in no shape or form affiliated with the developer, but it's a great tool to have. My current financial situation does not allow me to start a new army but I still play around in this app from time to time because it's just so convenient. You don't just select basecoats but also shades and highlights. Again I'm not a shill, it's just that good and a wonderful complement to the useful advice that has been given in this video.

[@vallytine]

I decided to apply your whole bit about adding flavor to your army to get your color scheme with my Sisters of Battle. I play the Order of the Bloody Rose, and if I had to define them in a phrase it would be "Doomslayer Nuns", they're by far the most firebranded and aggressive in their zealotry of the Orders Militant, I wanted to reflect that by having their weapons, armor and scenery caked in the blood of their enemies, I had some of the bolter barrels covered in blood to show they'd been fired at point-blank, for example, and add some flecks of blood to the faces, armor, robes and what-not. I also decided to spice them up with some chipping battle-damage, as the 8th Edition Codex states the Bloody Rose don't take a single rest or respite until the job of annihilating the mutant, alien and heretic is done, to reflect they'd been on campaign without a break for quite some time. That also tied in with having them covered in blood, it's not only a kind of battle-trophy to them, but it reflects how they're beyond taking so much as a moment to re-polish their armor to make them look more like the heroes of the Imperium like the Order of the Ebon Chalice might. For the bases I wanted to have them in a Cathedral setting not only to reflect the whole motif of the Adepta Sororitas, but to have a more narrative aspect of echoing how the Saint of the Bloody Rose, Saint Mina was praying in a chapel before being ambushed by a heretical cult, after which she slew them to a man before dying of her wounds, and now her descendants are caught in the same sort of situation, where the Cathedral stone is broken, cracked and running red with blood. I know that's a bit of a ramble, but maybe I'm taking a page out of your book in that ;) I do think it was a fun brain-storming session, and I can't wait to put it in practice. I'm going to try out some contrast paint, although applying it more conservatively than the old GW tutorials reccomended to get a cleaner look.

[@MrStatistx]

Since I don't play Warhammer, I usually go for my own scheme with these guys, though since I'm colorblind I usually go for existing things (not space marines for example) and transfer that on a space marine

[@wyrdhunter]

Another good resource from my graphic design days were the Color Index pocket books by Jim Krause which were pages and pages of 4-5 color combinations that worked with variants. There’s a new Color Index XL larger book with updated and expanded color swatches and all are now 5 color combinations. Oh, and all the books had cmyk, rgb, and hex codes for the colors.

[@arcanewarsong]

Good video Scott, thanks. You talked about some color tools. I have an app on my phone called "paint rack". Not only does it have a inventory tool with most of the popular hobby paint line. It also has a tool that uses the camera on the phone to match colors you see. It will also use your inventory to show you what you own that's close to those colors you pick out.

I always like to consider pushing contrast with different finishes, Using metallics for example to help sneak in those extra colours. I was able to convince a friend who originally going for a teal and black scheme on some dark eldar , but was never quite satisfied with the end results, to throw in some bronze on things like knee pads, filigree and other bits and adding that 3rd "detail" colour really helped make the whole scheme pop

[@florianstock376]

You suggested using Gimp or Paintshop to have a preview of your scheme: From Gimp I know it (and I would assume a paytool like Paintshop has something similar): You can enable extra filters for viewing your image to see what a colorblind person would see. With this you could even paint your units, so they look nice for the color blinds.

[@dougsundseth6904]

I don't paint much in the way of armies these days; it's mostly one-offs for RPGs or skirmish games. Which means that I'm not stuck with picking a color scheme that I can stand to look at for the next 5 years, but also means that I'm constantly picking a new color scheme for whatever is next. I've used color wheels and they're fine, but they do tend to push you toward samey after a while. So these days, I tend toward different sources: * Is there a color that I want more practice with? (White robes with purple accents turned out pretty well and the white practice was really useful.) * Is there a technique that I'd like to try? (TMM with painted tints in reflections was an interesting attempt, but I need to try more of that sort of thing and push it harder next time.) * Is there a color combination that I haven't done lately, or some variation that might be interesting? (The wizard I painted in lime green and magenta actually turned out much better than I thought it might.) * Can I paint a figure with a limited palette? (Burnt Sienna and Dioxazine Purple with black and white for tinting, toning, and shading worked really well. And next time I could leave out the black and use a chromatic black instead. And monochrome is on my list.) * Is there some color that I bought because I thought it looked really interesting but I've never seriously used it? (See the lime green wizard above.) * Is there some color combination I've seen in the wild (nature, product packaging, movie costumes, whatever -- Scott alluded to this) that would be fun to try? (Might be the next mini I paint.) * Is there some color scheme that seems like it couldn't possibly work? How can I make it work after all? All of these help keep painting fresh for me.. ps. If you're going to try out your color scheme with Photoshop, paint the colors on a different layer and set that layer to a "Color" blend mode. Preserves the details while also showing the colors. And if you start with a zenithal (or other directional) priming scheme, you can get a very reasonable understanding of how the colors will actually work.

Thanks to your air brush tutorial I'm using an air brush for the first time. Thank your awesomeness

I have been undecided for my ork army's paint scheme for the longest time. I've been wanting to combine three different clans into one massive WAAAGH!, but I'm not sure if I should just go with the clan colours, go with a mishmash of colours, or one unifying colour. I've been leaning towards a desert theme with khaki clothes and desert camo for vehicles, at least for the Blood Axes part of the army.

Late to the party but the method I used for my army was to save a ton of schemes I liked from searching online and Facebook and slowly deleted photos until I was down to 1. Then I would somewhat copy that theme but add my own twist / flare to it. My current TAU army ended up being Purple, with yellow markings and some pearlescent green, to which people started calling Evangelion. So I ran with it. I've also used the photoshop colour replace method but that's a bit more advanced I guess.

does Everyone in a group need the same color scheme? Example like a group of 10 seraphon need to be say all blue or can you have them 3 blue 2 red 3 green and 2 yellow in that group?

This might be a dumb question... but what kind of sponge are you using for the paints/inks, just a regular kitchen sponge or a makeup one? Cheers

I basicly picked a colour from my "painting newb kit" for Nacrons and Bluebois and applied it to a Sentinel. Well, I liked Earthshade on Leadbelcher and the one colour harmonizing best with that was Averland Sunset. So Averland Sunset it is, now. I am really not a yellow-person, but Averland Sunset layered over Mechanicum Grey does it, somehow. I even came up with a dumb fluff-excuse for it, being that this particular regiment did a study about battle damage on equipment and found out that yellow vehicles tended to take less of it somehow. xD Or it is about a protective coating that just happens to be yellow. Something dumb like that.

I’d be really interested in a more step by step how to video on how to best edit the model picture in photoshop and select the different materials to test with. I’d definitely like to do that if I can get efficient at it.
