to add to Henry's bit about the artist oils around 7:00, do not bother with Windsor Newton's cheaper oils , the Winton line. they break apart very easily when being thinned to a wash consistency. i never have this problem except with my Winton oils. just like every other paint, you get what you pay for!

[@jcosta.16]

That is true. I've bought one of those and they do not work well when you have to dilute them to a wash consistency.

[@Brettoh]

Second this - made that mistake!

[@astonsummers6892]

Thank you so much, I’ve only used the winton oils and didn’t even realise that was their cheaper line. Was going insane trying to figure out how to stop my oil washes breaking down.

[@Mikester88]

@@astonsummers6892 Same here! Been very frustrating to work with. Well I've got a LOT of terrain paint now

[@tmckee3242]

Oh damn, thats why I've had issues. Didnt realise they were the cheaper version, its all that my art shops stock nearby. Whats their primo range called?

[@koz1138]

Yes! This is exactly how I wanted to the Ruination guys in Skaventide! My thought was to do Hammers of Sigmar but looking older/faded, like the repeated reforgings have leached the color from them. This is going to be super helpful when I sit down to it (now to figure out how to do faded blue).

[@niallrichardcurran2466]

Hi Henry, I love this scheme! But def would love to see your approach for the silver scheme! thanks so much! you re amazing

[@the98themperoroftheholybri33]

I'd prefer a bronze colour, I'm considering kitbashing some thunder warriors

[@COSMICAMISSION]

Loved this one. Great format and little details like absorbing some of the oil with cardboard are much appreciated.

[@MikeBeals]

This is exactly the look I want for my ruination chamber models 👍

[@Speakhardly]

It was great to see a deeper dive into a topic. Although I gotta admit, that it would’ve been nice to see the finished Stormcast models at the end of the video as well.

[@SgtMaj22]

Always look forward to your videos. I always pick up a little something to add to my tool box and try on my next model. Thank you.

[@adamnewhook9454]

Just about to start painting my spearhead of Stormcast and you got me re thinking my gold now. Damn you and your fantastic ideas!

[@needphd1]

I really appreciated the deeper dive into one area. I also like the full schemes. But I was really excited to see a bit more time taken to help me understand some army painting choice better.

[@Wijkert]

I like this style of video. This way you can focus on the most important bit more (like the gold in this case). People can use other videos as a reference for how to do the cape for example. Creating a library of sorts this way would make a lot of sense to me.

[@Wijkert]

Really love how the gold on the reclusian came out. Want to try to create a similar gold when I get my box in the mail.

[@gaznixon5161]

The cloaked one is almost exactly what I'm looking for with my Custodes army. Spot on Henry, as always 👌🏼

[@ashleynewman4633]

Great video, while I agree that completing these models would add nothing to the tutorial.... I'd love too see the reclusian finished. You've done a great job!!

[@WillReynolds88]

Great video. I've really been enjoying your fantasy videos lately. I love true metallics and it's great to see someone on KZbin showing how they can be used to a very high standard to produce a lovely finish

[@gomezaddams8554]

Definately like this format - it makes a toolkit you can pick and choose from. But... I wouldn't want to see the complete tutorials go - I think I've got that RavenGuard tutorial memorised at this point, but it's helped me get around 2k worth of models painted

[@cultofpaint]

they wouldnt go at all. Just adding one of these in more regularly would allow me to work on some slightly bigger pieces too

[@RedHarbinger]

I certainly wouldn't mind seeing the odd deeper dive like this in the rotation

[@tedstravels1284]

Another great informative video. I really enjoy just picking up little snippets of tips and ideas, so thanks for that!

[@ranko30k2]

Love this!

[@atreyamishra3149]

Wow Henry, looks amazing as always! Really enjoy the format. As a Hammers of Sigmar fan, would love to see you complete the rest of the model as well!

[@PowerPilgrim]

Great tutorial as always! The deep dives may be an avenue to explore.

[@nik.nak23]

Great video! I really like the format! But I am honestly hoping that you will paint a full hallowed knight! I am especially interested in how to paint the silver/metal armor, the blue cloaks and the lightning energy! Either way I am sure that the next video - regardless of what you will paint- will also be really enjoyable and teach me something new like your videos always do!👍☺️

[@akutch564]

That reclusian is so nice.

[@-moongorilla-]

This is gorgeous, will absolutely be stealing it! I enjoyed the format. Especially if they're easier for you to do and give you more time to work on other exciting things. Certainly agree that painting the rest of the mini was unnecessary for the purposes of this video. Maybe it would work to do a part 2 of sorts where you do take it from the point of all the gold being done to bring a fully painted miniature? Especially for versus box-set releases. I ordered Skaventide with no clue what I'd do with the Stormcast; this video got me excited to do them, but I still don't know what I'll do for the non-gold parts 😅

[@christopherbergeron3982]

I love vids like this Henry. It is really nice to have a focus on an area, or type of painting and not a whole mini

[@samuelsmith5027]

That old gold is 👌

[@tr48092]

I would really like to a see a plasma gun tutorial, Henry

[@goforitpainting]

Cool 👍

[@toddsmith235]

This is excellent! I had picked up a few oil paints and was looking to paint up may stormcast and Celestial Lions (gold space marines). I REALLY like the weathered gold! I can't wait to try it. Thanks for sharing.

[@cultofpaint]

oh man this would work great on Celestial Lions!!!

[@jamescameron-clarke2560]

Just bought my first oils based on this - the Reclusian is exactly what I want for a bit of a grimdark gold. Was thinking of picking up the Scale 75 metallics too, so that's another thing I'm sold on. Wonderful work, as always!

[@T_A_WOW]

Very helpful tutorial thanks.

[@Lunzium]

Looks great man. Love Scale75 metallics, especially Necro Gold and Peridot Alchemy. Love me some greenish old gold.

[@lewisconklin7252]

Cool.

[@stevenkeelan3220]

Excellent and looks really cool. I'd like to see your take on a silver version

[@wtrob]

Fantastic video, I’m absolutely going to see what elements of this I can apply to my own models!!

[@stevenbaker3593]

Certainly a huge help to any Custodes collectors.

[@helenmcclure]

The question I had at the end was how the heck you got to the hard to reach areas to paint black. A video on different techniques to paint hard to reach areas and when to use them might be an idea. Maybe part of a wider brush control technique video.

[@thanemaxwell357]

thanks, wondered why I was rubbing the acrylics off

[@beauraymond11]

This is a good video. I like this video.

[@Centaurslayer]

I always feel like a damn caveman with my airbrush, I know practice is always the key but the finesse you guys seem to have with it is incredible. Your work with oils has also helped me get a fully painted and based 3000 point heresy army for the first time ever. Many thanks!

[@cultofpaint]

great work on getting a whole army done!

[@Centaurslayer]

Thanks so much! I definitely want to go to the next level with it with more highlights, what do you think is better for highlighting a bright silver? A brighter metal or a darker gunmetal for a more weathered look?

[@NYIKAZENO]

Very cool exercise. I was thinking about something very similar to do with armor recently.Either you guys or the algorithm are psychic!

[@YaBoiVD]

That was such a British moment, "oh how I'm embarrassing, I've left my phone on"

[@Tacos117]

welllll I have my custodes scheme now!

[@davidhills7986]

That green brown for the older gold is pretty close in colour to winter streaking grime enamel

[@BarokaiRein]

Also, if anyone wants oils to dry faster, mix in liquin original with the mineral spirits.

[@JWbrasser]

that oil mix looks ALOT like one of the AK panel liners (the enemals) might be worth looking at for people trying to reproduce without having to mix anything!

[@djludowici536]

Love this thanks Henry and team!! Brilliant having almost two schemes within the one army tying it all together. My question is what do you think of say a purple ink/wash for the gold coming from beneath? I’m a sucker for purple and my idea for them the main other colours would be purple (replacing the traditional blue) with turquoise and black. Unsure if it would bleed the colours too much or not work so well with the gold

[@cultofpaint]

shading gold with purple is fine, but has definitely become a gimmick. If you want to do it with a purpose, like to create some harmony on your scheme then that's a great idea bud.

[@andreag.4609]

Do you think that, an opaque acrylic varnish layer, via airbrush, BUT after basecoating the metallic armour and pinwashing/washing it with oils, apart removing that glossy finish that some oils can have, could be useful for an increased contrast with the standard brush highlights you do for completing the model???

[@cultofpaint]

you could play around with varnishes for finishes sure.

[@andreag.4609]

@@cultofpainti’m not a lover of varnish on metals but for a grimdark looks maybe could be interesting 🤔 Thankyou for the inspiration, it can be useful. P.S. I still have to take pics of an army of Orruks/ardboyz that was strongly inspired by your tutorial 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@andrewpowell9112]

I’d be really keen to know what the extra steps were to get the whiter gold on the model you showed around 16:30, it’s very similar to what I’d be looking to do

[@ericgriffin8343]

Yes. Also very interested in that as well.

[@cultofpaint]

same mix i did the edge highlighting with, but i did loads of stippling with it.

[@Timbucktoo32]

More Stormcast, show weapons

[@MaskedRiderChris]

How long do you let the oil paint sit on the cardboard in this case? I need to be better about using my oil paints even if it's just for washes. But I'm trying to figure out an alternative to the Scale 75 metallic paints since I don't fancy scoring a whole new range of paints any time soon--I'm a Vallejo kinda guy, so what would you suggest in that line, maybe VMC Old Gold for one? Looks great, Henry!

[@cultofpaint]

that one was only on there for a couple minutes. There's not a huge amount of excess oil in that tube. It will vary paint to paint. And there's millions of vallejo metals, i dont know an exact one off the top of my head but im sure you could create one easily with their stuff.

[@glennylebeau4492]

Great video Henry. I have never tried oils or enamels, have always been intimidated. But after seeing a few videos recently, yours included, I am thinking about attempting it with some grimdark stormcast of my own. Have you had a chance to try out the newly released Villiany inks enamel paints? A few videos have implied that these may be good for a beginner stepping to enamels. If you have any thoughts, I'd appreciate hearing your opinion. Thanks.

[@cultofpaint]

Hey, great to hear youre tempted by the oils! I'd recommend picking up a brown and orange and a black. You can use them to create rust, dirt, shading etc on so many projects. Ive got a set of the Villainy inks and I want to use them some more, because so far I've been very unimpressed, i certainly wouldnt say they are any more beginner friendly than any other enamel wash. Oils and enamels offer slightly different things, but oils definitely have a much broader usage.

[@glennylebeau4492]

@@cultofpaint Thanks for the reply, I will definitely look into trying some out. I did have a slight suspicion that the villainy inks may be one of those over hyped, well marketed gimmicks. I appreciate your honesty. Thanks for the inspiration, looking forward to your next video.

[@sprudlemts1542]

Any alternative you would recommend to s75 necro gold? Have seen many use them on yt, but not possible to get hold of in my neck of the wood...

[@cultofpaint]

P3 blighted gold or GW Balthasar with a little green mixed in

[@sprudlemts1542]

@@cultofpaint brilliant! Will test it out!

[@Aps3FanBoy]

Hey, this might be a really silly question, but how do you set up your models on that Cork? Do you just blue tac them down, or are they pinned then pushed into the Cork??? Looks like a great way to paint seperate from the base

[@cultofpaint]

Pinned, but the pins are held in with blu tac.

[@Dooxyftw]

I wounder how you paint the black and not fuck up the gold, and if you would fuck up the gold how do you fix it?

[@cultofpaint]

Just wipe it off with a coton bud and bit of water. And if for some reason you damage the gold then just stipple a little back on and you'd be 100% ok

[@WillReynolds88]

Great video. Is there a reason you’ve stopped thinning oils with Sansodr?

[@cultofpaint]

I still use Sansodor most of the time when I'm working on personal stuff, where time isn't a factor. The cheap white spirits dry quickly, and although they stink I'm only using very small amounts for a short time when filming.

[@Swooper86]

Great gold recipe. Personally I enjoy highlighting Necro Gold with Vallejo Metal Colour Gold and Pale Burnt Metal, it creates a very cool, low carat sort of gold look. This is definitely great for a warm but still weathered gold.

[@cultofpaint]

I like MCS as a highlight too. But as you say the warmer look this recipe gives was more fitting for the Hammers of Sigmar i felt.

[@slain937]

Is the reclusian model basecoated in Necro gold and then Elven gold, or is it just pure Elven gold? Brain having trouble 😅

[@cultofpaint]

necro then elven. Exactly the same process up to and including the raw umber wash.

[@slain937]

Thank you, love your videos and all the hard work you put into them! Inspiring

[@michaelcaricoo]

Are Scale 75 paints actually available in the UK? In the US almost the entire paint catalog is sold out and has been for months

[@cultofpaint]

yeah, my local stores have them. Try some pro acryl or P3 metallics instead, they have some good ones in their ranges, and I think are easy to get in the states?

[@michaelcaricoo]

@@cultofpaint proacryl is yeah, I've got some of their regular paints, need to try some of the metallics. Ever since P3 got sold (and even before) it's more hit or miss

[@koz1138]

Could you maybe recommend an alternative to Necro Gold though? It’s completely sold out in the US.

[@cultofpaint]

It's a dark green/black gold. You can get P3 paints easily in the states yeah? If so I'd say blighted gold, i really like that and would have used it instead if I could have found my pot!

[@koz1138]

@@cultofpaint Looks obtainable. Thanks!

Where is your fan pulling the airbrush? It looks like you're spraying down so I can't figure the angle.

I really hope you get good feedback on this format. For to it's really good to dive more into a subject sometimes and excellent to come back to aswell in a later date and soak in more of the information if needed. i recently started with oils and i really understad why it's such a bread and butter here on the channel of yours. Looks soooo good on metalics, thanks Henry.
