How to Paint Horus Heresy Space Wolves. 30k Vlka Fenryka!

[@bjorn8453]

I'm really glad to see you guys doing the proper "Storm Grey" color that's described in the novels, I think it's a great detail that adds depth and helps them stand out!

[@HeadHunterSix]

I _LOVE_ old-school Space Wolves colors. Looks great!

[@cultofpaint]

Thanks!

[@richardbrown8789]

Thats awsome thats the kinda grey scheme im looking for... great job henry

[@cultofpaint]

Cheers Richard

I was space wolf curious for Heresy 2.0 already. This video made me make my mind up. I've spent the last two week buying and printing bits for the box so I can customise my mk 6 beakies to look more like I feel the rout would.

[@cultofpaint]

Awesome!

[@totenkopfkevinus2906]

Yes, yes, yes, finally a return to Horus Heresy !!!!!!!!

[@cultofpaint]

Some great schemes in heresy

[@NoUseForAName06]

I just love the 30k paint scheme so much more than the 40k baby blue. Good stuff. I own a lot of Scale75 colors but only use them by brush, might give them a try through the airbrush now. PS: Which nozzle size do you use for your H&S if you don't mind me asking?

[@cultofpaint]

We use the 0.4mm that come as standard in our brushes

Can't wait to see Iron Hands!

[@cultofpaint]

Not too long to wait!

[@13Robzilla]

Love the heresy scheme, thank you. You mentioned different light angles would love to see more of that. I keep hearing about portrait or illustration angles but not knowing what that means doesn't help much. Please stay safe!

[@cultofpaint]

Hi Rob, it's easier to see what we're on about with light angles on the models where we preshade. Check out the emperors children one in the playlist.

[@13Robzilla]

@@cultofpaint Will do and thank you.

[@wiggy5209]

Love it, will use the paints and techniques on my 30k space wolf army, 100 cataphractti to start ....

[@cultofpaint]

A good small unit to start with!

[@philipreed8031]

Great video. Looking forward to you doing 30k iron hands.

[@cultofpaint]

Thanks, we'll get round to them all sooner than later.

[@adhdengineer]

Still want one of them cult of paint infinities. Maybe after Christmas.

[@cultofpaint]

An excellent idea!

[@nathaniel4334]

Amazing

[@drcrushy1529]

Got a quick question for you guys: Why do you prefer the chaos black spray over using something like vallejo surface primer through the airbrush? Great video and look forward to more. thanks

[@cultofpaint]

We find it more robust. Plus the airbrush primer tends to go off pretty quick. The Badger Stylenrez is pretty good.

[@rychardharris3934]

Great stuff

[@cultofpaint]

cheers bud

[@PlatonistAstronaut]

Great video.

[@cultofpaint]

Thanks!

[@noedgaard]

Hi I have seen so many of your vids, and others as well. Most speak highly of scale75 colours. I'm a noob, just got into warhammer and starting to paint it. But I don't have many colours. So I was wondering if you could share a few thoughts on the essentials. Been looking at s75 steel set and the FX flour. Is that a good starting point? I'm a student, so I'm a bit limited on price

[@cultofpaint]

Hi Kristian, if you wanted to buy a set of Scale75 that you would use a lot of on many gaming miniatures I would suggest their Gold or Copper sets. They are fantastic and not really found in other brands. Their silver colours are good, but you can get other excellent silvers from brands like Vallejo. If you can purchase them as singles why not try Decayed Metal, Victorian Brass, Elven gold, Black Leather and Brown Leather. These will give you a good understanding of the type of paints S75 produce, but also be really useful colours for painting all kinds of miniatures.

[@tom20023800]

Hi, fantastic work. I love the colours. I have been having a nightmare getting the right thinning mix with the scale 75 paints. I have the HS CP Evolution and don't have issues with vallejo paints. I keep getting dry tip no matter what the mix. I'm using vallejo thinner and flow improver to thin. what would be your suggestion?

[@cultofpaint]

Yeah the scale paints are annoying in the airbrush. I thin them more than any others. You could try adding some flow improver. Their own brand of thinner will work well as it’s designed for these paints too. I’ve also heard of some people having success using Tamiya thinners.

[@lestat7270]

Great video! One question though , since i used to paint with oils historical minis. Wont the thinner destroy the acrylic paints, even when it has been sprayed with the varnish? Thanks in advance. Great Job again

[@cultofpaint]

Hi thanks! No not at all, the thinners don't react with dry acrylic paint.

[@lestat7270]

@@cultofpaint thanks for the reply! Addicted to your videos!

[@visuellegedanken]

Looking forward to the “gaming heads video”.

[@cultofpaint]

We're gonna expand it out to cover a variety of skin colours, should be available soon.

[@zm7286]

Great video! Do you have any suggestions for working on Vallejo Metal Colours with a brush? I find that when I apply them with a brush, even if I've shaken the pot for a few minutes, it will always separate out into light and dark patches.

[@cultofpaint]

Do you use them on a wet pallette? We've found that you need to use a normal well pallette to keep them from separating too quick. But we use the metal colour series with the brush a lot.

[@zm7286]

@@cultofpaint Yes, I was fortunate enough to see your video recommending that actually! It definitely helps to reduce splitting, but I still haven't quite figured out how to get them to apply evenly. I might just need to get more practice in!

[@xavierfabri233]

Hi! If i wanted to make this scheme a little less blue, instead of the pale grey blue mix what would you recommend I'd use? Or do you think the scheme might not work as well without it

[@cultofpaint]

A more neutral grey, would be absolutely fine.

[@realgitz55]

in the video for one of the steps you say a 50/50 mix of eclipse grey with a drop of druchii violet with 3-4 drops of thinner to paint. what is the 50/50mix of eclipse grey?

[@cultofpaint]

I shouldn't have said "drop". It's a 50/50 mix of eclipse grey and druchii violet, then heavily thinned.

[@shupactakur]

I really want to incorporate oil washes in my painting, but i dont own an airbrush yet. Is this sort of result achievable with varnishes applied by brush?

[@cultofpaint]

Certainly, just use a large brush, thin the varnish and try to achieve as smooth a coat as possible. Alternatively, grab an aerosol can of gloss varnish.

[@shupactakur]

@@cultofpaint alright, so thinning something like vallejo gloss varnish with a bit of water is ok?

[@Wijkert]

Bit of a late reply, but just in case. You don't need to varnish the model before you apply an oil wash. I almost never do and it works fine very time.

[@DungusDingus]

How do you getting the vanish to go on so smoothly? I'm having issues where its coming through like rain droplets

[@cultofpaint]

You may need to thin it a little more. I spray on a layer then hairdryer and repeat 3-4 times.

[@DungusDingus]

@@cultofpaint thank you, also which thinner do you recommend?

[@sparrox66]

Hey mate, when I apply a pin wash it goes on a dream. While its drying though it just spreads out of the recesses. Any idea whats causing this?

[@cultofpaint]

Sometimes this is when the recess isnt actually the lowest point on the model ( rivets can often be a culprit here). If you apply a lot of the wash it's not gonna pool there. So a slightly less dilute mix can help. So can scribing out any panel lines.

[@Wijkert]

I assume your are talking about an oil wash, otherwise ignore the following. I have had this happen a couple of times and have found that thinning it less helps. So make a slightly less diluted oil wash. The annoying thing is like you said that it only separates after applying to the model.
