Unfortunately the voice over dropped out for a few minutes around 30min, but this was a thrill to watch! Thanks for sharing your progress.

[@nvcn86]

mistakes will happen on a big project like this. just keep going. xD

[@Daealis]

Drops out at 30:35, returns after the decal is painted, around 34:40

[@fluffystuff4483]

I kinda just figured Vince wanted to give us a chill moment of music and NMM painting that Decal haha

[@CeriMullins-nq3mc]

I'd like to try a slanesh Knight but maybe one day. Great paintwork.

[@VinceVenturella]

Go for it!

[@MrDave13193]

@Vince Venturella just so you are aware, the audio cuts out at 30:36 and comes back at 34:34

[@scottywan82]

I was just coming to post this.

[@lolaldanee2743]

yep, audio gone, just was about to state the same

[@NoUseForAName06]

I love how this shows that you don't need the most fancy techniques for competitions like this. Just simple techniques done well, a strong vision and diligance will get you 99% of the way there. This is stunning work and I love how you don't overcomplicate things when explaining them. Lots of painters use lingo that turns off newbie painters. You explain things nice and plainly, even at this level of skill.

[@puntedagain398]

MasterClass with Vince Venturella. So good.

[@Wijkert]

2:34 I am usually pretty zen when building mini's and I think that is why I appreciate that part of the hobby. I understand that is not the same for everyone. In fact I remember you (Vince) saying that with most projects you rather paint than build and thus are ok with cutting corners.

[@Devanox4]

This was incredible to see. Thank you Vince. I hope I speak on behalf of everyone that sharing these endeavors is incredibly insightful and educational.

[@robertbritt3129]

Incredible insight I must say I understand why you can't show us 100% but you describe to the best of your ability 100% and your transparency shows humbleness and the fact that you want me to be as good as I can be you don't care if someone builds on your work and shows you something new. Awesome sportsmanship bro

[@tombrand236]

Wow. Just so incredible Vince. A true masterpiece

[@benwalls5946]

Absolutely gorgeous. Bravo Vince.

[@warpfiendstudios9815]

Between 30min and 34 min is when Vince tells the secret to always winning, it was too powerful so youtube had to silence him :( Seriously tho Vince, you've outdone yourself this time, that pink is absolutely flawless and the freehand? chef's kiss. Look forward to seeing this badboy in person in Nov!

[@asafoetidajones8181]

I heard him telling me to kill my family at that point. I thought it was some injoke I wasn't up on

[@MentoMoriMinis]

Love watching anything you put out. Your brush control always amazes me. The NMM decal blew my mind!

[@ScytheNoire]

Love those colors. Those pinks and purples are just so vibrant and pop so well.

[@richmltn]

Absolutely stunning! Next-level work, sir!

[@FortPlz]

Extremely informative and inspirational, as always. And the end result is absolutely jaw dropping.

[@Curran_Kleen_Brown]

This is probably my favorite piece of yours that I've seen. I absolutely love this piece, and there's some great tips in there too. Inspiring stuff, and all the luck at Golden Daemon when it comes around.

[@shaunkrogulski9619]

Great work! I really appreciate your attitude and advice on a project like this

[@hoseamatthews5302]

I'm listening to this while painting my Salamander Knight Castellan

[@wovendark]

Wow, now that's a knight Slaanesh can be proud of! Great inspiration for my currant project. Amazing work as always

[@dasniveau9933]

Great project, great paint job and usefull advice.

[@benrichardson5662]

Awesome work. I still remember listening to Vengeful Spirit on audible at work three years ago. I remember where I was and what I was doing vividly.

[@emilykhan8706]

When using the tape, I had a thought about painting house using tape for mask--you mask then use either a layer of the base color or a layer of clear poly to seal the tape and then you go ahead with adding the second color. This way, the base or clear layer seals the gaps between tape and surface and you don't get any accent color bleeding under. (Of course, this negates the "free edge highlight" which might be a bit of a bummer.)

[@samuelbroad11]

just about to mention this. A couple of clear coats really does prevent bleeding.

[@Nigelius]

Having painted a couple of large knights and a slew of war dogs, I’m definitely with you on the idea of breaking the job into mini goals. It really helped me to break the knight down by each panel, weapon, the legs and the chassis. My abominant took over a month but I absolutely love it.

[@timbrown4928]

Absolutely beautiful!

[@Prickles2001]

Absolutely stunning! Really appreciate the endless tips that you provide all of your viewers!

[@VinceVenturella]

Glad it was helpful!

[@sonofskyrim1331]

This is my favourite piece you did, out of everything you entered for the Golden demon just gone. Was just amazed by the paint job, & had so many questions as to how you went about it Vince. So as you can imagine couldn't have clicked fast enough. Thankyou for sharing your process, & the reminder & importance to set yourself microgoals in any big project .

[@VinceVenturella]

This is actually a new one, the second I the line. :)

[@hobbithubby5076]

Next level tips and tricks from Vince… RGB headphones for perfect blends.

[@shaneflickinger]

I really like the idea of doing stylized fire instead of a more realistic approach. Thanks for sharing the process.

[@markfellows8590]

Vince, thanks for sharing this journey, so inspiring.

[@VinceVenturella]

My pleasure!

[@ScytheNoire]

28:25 I laughed so hard at that quote. Oh, how naive we were when we thought that would be peak stupidity.

[@kevinaxelson9716]

I think I learned more about airbrushing here than previous videos! Fantastic effort!

[@prickswithstix1113]

This is a packed video! Soooooo many tiny little tidbits. This one is saved in a special place to watch over and over(title Vince’s Futzing Tidbitz). Great job in instruction. And oh I almost forgot to say….the knight doesn’t suck! Thanks!

[@tombrand236]

Definitely agree about micro goals. It’s how you complete any complex project

[@dlar321]

Damn! well done vince! I just got an airbrush and this gave me a ton of inspiration on how else to use it!

[@S1leNtRIP]

This is so inspiring!!!

[@RichTeaMiniatures]

Wow what an absolutely incredible piece the way the purples and blues blend is something to behold brilliant video as always Vince

[@VinceVenturella]

Thank you so much 😀

[@petekirchner9959]

Awesome video! Probably one of my favorite Hobby Cheating ever. Thanks for the great and detailed tutorial!

[@ESO-ONE]

I've just finished the vengeful spirit book so banelash is close to my heart at minute.

[@the_sigil4340]

Very beautiful piece, Vince

[@JimCrimmins]

The amount of useful instruction you can pack into an enthralling 40 min video is tremendous. Definite save/watch/repeat material. The finished Knight is a thing of beauty and an obvious labor of love. Thank you for sharing this freely. Inspiring stuff man. Good luck at GD … cant wait 4 the new game drop.

Thanks so much!

[@jerex112]

love the colors

[@chucklamb3496]

Amazing, Vince

[@Wijkert]

38:18 I have been working on getting a very smooth base rim and the best way I have found is to find black paint that will self level like Vallejo Black Primer (also more durable than regular paint). Put it on thick, but not too thick otherwise it will collect too much at the bottom (look for the sweet spot). It sometimes needs multiple coats, but the end result is worth it.

[@northstartaxadvice8251]

Wow, incredible! My aspirations can only aspire to be this good someday. I love the bits of encouragement along the way. Especially since I’m nowhere near this level of proficiency yet. Vince, I’d be shocked if you don’t place.

[@jakessofa8187]

considering how good I felt watching you paint the black rim, I'm amazed you're still alive 🤣 what a project, what a result

[@mrgrant9291]

Great work

Beautiful

[@ljohnsson]

U are insane Vince! I mean that in a good way, GREAT work and really nice video!

[@RSSIPPEL.ART.]

Hey Vince, that board which you painted those split knight pieces on, is a nice metallic piece of art. Frame it and get a new backer.

[@markgnepper5636]

Great stuff friend 👏 👍

[@Wijkert]

11:50 very true. Thin oil washes can not only have a minimal effect, which might be something your where going for, but worse can more easily separate on you. Since I switched to thicker oil washes, this hasn't happened once.

[@Socraz6]

Yeah I struggle a lot with how thick to make my oils. It’s so foreign when all you know is acrylics.

[@Wijkert]

@@Socraz6 for me it's was trial and error too. Following the rule of thumb where you go with a thicker consistency than feels right helpend me a lot.

[@rustedbeetle]

Nice callout to Robert M. Pirsig's Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. I recommend the read for anyone who hasn't picked up a copy.

Perfect how to for my future fire wasps

Sound quit about 31:38 I really do appreciated the systematic demonstration of painting such an advanced miniature!. Also, thanks for the beginning portion where you showed something of the process of assembly. I've just received my order of items from Archon, and I will have have LOTS of assembly to work on.

For those looking for hazard stripe tape it's easy to find it for relatively cheap by searching for pinstripe tape. This PSA has been brought to you by your local Iron Warriors player.

[@PinkyIvan12]

I love doing dioramas and similar forever taking projects, but never things of this size or texture because I really enjoy painting with a brush and get nothing from airbrushing.

[@magic7924]

Not sure if you could do all these steps on chaos space marines but even if you could get the burgundy, Violet, turquoise that would be a fantastic scheme! Cheers Vince for sharing this with us all

[@VinceVenturella]

I've used this scheme on marines, but you're right, it's harder just because of the small space. :)

[@magic7924]

@@VinceVenturella you must be a sniper with that airbrush! Cheers Vince all the best

@@VinceVenturella real good man. Not wargaming anymore unfortunately, but I'm in Boston and working on my book series. Real glad to see you at it. I still roam some gaming forums and your art gets brought up more and more often. Looking forward to the day you become the sole authority of the painting world. Or King Venturella if you prefer. 😁

[@Wijkert]

Didn't watch yet, but insta clicked the vid when I saw the title! Exciting!

[@mikee9464]

Wow...that was YOURS?! Incredible! I was showing this model to my girlfriend the other night and we were completely infatuated with it. It is absolutely gorgeous! I can't believe it was you that painted it. That's great. I should have known. The more I watch, the more I see how much your painting style appeals to me. Great job 👏

This was a new one, the original one you're referencing from Chicago was also mine, just the former version of this. :)

[@Andersonzabuza]

I find it incredibly funny that I'm working on my first army piece, a Knight Abominant, and not only do you have a video on painting a high quality knight but its with a VERY similar color scheme to what I picked, haha. Mine is less vivid and the turqoise more neon to seem more spectral since its a House Korvax Knight, but this is still incredibly helpful!

[@isisnmagic1812]

Great video, loads of helpful tips for my next project, shame the sound cut out for awhile. Been awesome seeing this come together.

[@VinceVenturella]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@maxey1977]

This was my favorite of yours. It was a pleasure to judge it up close at MHE. As for the inspiration, I took my backdrop away from my GD Drycha entry, as I had heard they didn't like backdrops...GW certainly has a favored style.

[@VinceVenturella]

This one’s actually new, you’ll see this one next year. ;)

[@BlackKara]

Pink and teal! Pink and Teal! PINK AND TEAL!

[@filipkovacec5759]

Love the knight! Great content Vince, hope you knight does well on GD :)

[@maddogmadden23]

Beautiful Vince! I think recently I've seen so much negativity towards TMM. It's nice to see it done to such a high quality. I would love to see some of the techniques you use to paint tanks, vehicles or aircraft. Best of luck at Golden Demon!

[@LeddingtonGuitars]

When you mask, you should respray your base coat first. It seals the edges of the tape and you get crisper lines.

[@M0U53B41T]

And now, weathering!

[@Wijkert]

17:07 I can tell that you are trying to get an even distance between the stripes. What can help is to place twice as many pieces of masking tape with no spaces in between en than remove half of them. LOL: you mentioned that option 30 secs later... That's what I get for posting right away. The reason I do that is because that way I don't forget what I was trying to say, but I run the risk of this happening. Oh well, there is always the edit button.

[@dejabrutal5035]

This mini came out amazing. And I know I'm a Vincy V fanboy. But damn it was my favorite GD entry.

[@imax006]

Wow. Just wow.

Thanks!

[@stewartfrancis9188]

Ooooh baby

[@jean-sebastienmarty2425]

That's some sweet knight you painted there. Just to inform you, between 30:35 and 34:33, your voice wasn't recorded.

[@bbricks5843]

maybe there were two periods, where the voice was not there. Not sure if Vince had nothing special to speak about at these moments... However Great video and project. Completley not my choice of army or colors, but lots of insights and inspiration.

[@xommul79]

This was Epic Vince, just what I was looking for. Love that pop colour in the shadows. You take bold colours and blend them so well. Loved the exhaust burn, I’ll be coming back to this video time and again. Now I need to choose my colours, what would be the pop colour of predominantly red panels?

[@xommul79]

Vince, I am going to try your colour scheme as it’s not colours I’ve used before and I want a challenge. I can’t get hold of golden fluorescent pink or the Kimera colours. Are there alternatives? Also are there any of the pink colours for the carapace that are not essential for a non Golden demon paint job? Thanks in advance if you have time to answer

[@SLICK-GLN]

A for effort Vince you are the technique guru.

[@NexUtInfinitus]

Don’t want to be pedantic, but I have the audiobook. It’s pronounced, at least by the British voice-actors Ban-E-Lash. Amazing book highly recommend, House Devine is badass.

[@jtb818]

Wauw. It’s so cool to see how accomplished you’ve become. Do you see this as one of your best, if not the best, model yet?

[@VinceVenturella]

I think it’s my best knight ever :)

[@clarketron3000]

Thanks for the great content as always! when you switched over to the purple airbrushing (right after the zenithal), did you stay at 40psi? I'm still getting the hang of this airbrushing thing, and I feel like I never quite know where to set that psi.

[@VinceVenturella]

Nope, that was down to 18psi

[@stanleymartin8985]

Great video and project as always. When you say you are doing multiple varnishes during the painting process, I’m curious to know what varnish exactly are you using? Is it with a spray can or airbrush? Thanks as always!!!

[@VinceVenturella]

Airbrush, 3-1 ultra matte to satin varnish

[@thomaskrabbesundkrystad8792]

Wait, I put this ammount of effort into assembly on every single one of my minis... Am I not supposed to do that? ( '-')
