200,000 SUBS! How to paint Szarekh, The Silent King. Thank you 😊

Wow! 200,000 Subscribers! Thank you all so, so much for joining us. To celebrate this amazing milestone we decided to open the Academy Vault as a special one-off and choose a video that we are both immensely proud of and was one of the first 'big' tutorials we did for the Academy (duncanrhodes.com) Szarekh, the Silent King! It's not often we get to open the vault and share a tutorial from our back catalogue but we thought what better way to celebrate this fantastic milestone and to say a HUGE thank you for all the support over the last 18 months or so. We hope you enjoy this video 😊
This tutorial covers everything you need to know to paint your favourite Necrons and there are a huge variety of techniques covered, everything from dry brushing, to blending and even some simple glows that you can use on a wide variety of your favourite miniatures in your collection.
Cheers
Dunc & Rog

Congratulations on 200.000 thin coats.

[@MatthewMcCabe]

400k with two thin coats!

[@minisforerbody]

@@MatthewMcCabe damn you got there first

[@iandavies2298]

Have you learned nothing??

[@taiyoctopus2958]

lol

[@slavengineering8344]

Shouldn't it be 400.000? Cause you know, you apply them twice?

[@Yellonet]

I think that this isn't the first miniature he's painted. He's probably painted like 3 or 4 before this.

[@Snavels]

3 or 4 Szarekhs?

[@carbon1255]

@@Snavels I think the comment is making fun of the reddit clout hounds that are very good and claim it is their first miniature.

[@Snavels]

@@carbon1255 I was thinking they were saying he painted 3 or 4 Szarekhs to practice for the video

[@poggestfrog]

@@Snavels honestly, that is possible.

Congratulations my man!! :-) Love that green

[@danj1072]

I love your videos too!

@@chiefteefteefreturns3320 I see that you're really making the most of your Saturday night...

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

Thanks Brent, much appreciated 😊

[@awesomejosh94]

Congrats Duncan! You've helped me with painting at a higher quality than I thought I'd ever achieve. And have given me the confidence to tackle intimidating models like Magnus and Mortarion.

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

Happy to help and thank you 😊

[@ericmcentire9088]

Same! I’m in the middle of Magnus right now. Mortarion was a blast!

[@messiha666]

I never painted a mini nor do I ever plan to but sitting down with some hot chocolate and watching Duncan paint is great fun.

[@dembeku346]

You've taught me many things, both in painting and life. Thank you and congratulations 🔥

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

Wow, thank you so much for the kind words, it means a lot 😊

[@Paranormal-Stupidity]

My first Duncan video was how to paint a Necron Warrior years ago. It's only fitting that you would be painting The Silent King to celebrate this huge milestone. Thanks for teaching me how to paint. This is the best hobby I've ever been involved in.

[@jonathanbell908]

Same here!

[@jackspianochannel8538]

Great work Duncan, keep it up ,you're my inspiration

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

Thanks, will do!

[@minisforerbody]

It’s you’re 🧐

Hail to the King, baby!

[@w1ldone669]

Perfect timing, just bought the silent king and when I got home this just popped up , thank you my man

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

We aim to please 😁

[@CoronelPanic]

The madman actually did it. He applied a perfectly smooth coat of Corax White with a brush.

[@robsonribeiro7552]

You deserved all the thousands subs and two thin coats in the planet man. Thanks to your videos now I got a SUCH GOOD hobby and it helped me sooooo much to handle the most rough times during this pandemic. Cheers!

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

You are very welcome 😊

[@andrewdowns9047]

Wow, congrats on everything Duncan! I painted a Void Knight in inspiration. I can't wait for the projects you have in store for the future!

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

Awesome, thank you.

[@christophernorgaar6373]

Thank you, Duncan.

[@hatework4282]

I just want to dogpile on the comments. Your videos have been immensly helpful in bringing my army to life. I'm a pretty mediocre (on a good day) painter, but listening to your tips has made my growing army look fantastic. I'm very happy with how things are going and each video helps make me a better painter. Thank you.

[@Carllizard]

Fantastic thank you duncan !!!!

[@Papasiak]

Incredible work as always. Helped me get into painting a year ago when I stumbled upon your painting guides as a citadel employee. I was glad to find you now have your own channel and you are still doing incredible paint jobs on minis. Keep on inspiring

[@SlayerMiniatures]

200k! Bloody hell! Congrats Duncan :)

Thank you 😊

[@SlayerMiniatures]

@@DuncanRhodesDRPA well deserved! That's some quick growth! ...'thats what she said!'

Thank yoy for all the technicks and colours. Teached from you. Advise about superglue was essential. Saved so much nervs. Thank you for your youtube activity. If not for you, many people wouldn't be happy.

Thank you , DRPA .

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

Our pleasure!

[@TheRcEngineer]

Thank you !

[@matthewdennis293]

Thank you for this, Duncan! I followed your guide to build my Szarekh, which was a deeply intimidating model at the start. Now, it's undoubtedly the best looking model in my case and I can't wait to bring it to the battle mat.

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Congrats on your milestone!

[@Davsand14]

Amazing! Very well done!

[@christianblankenship7683]

Well done and THANK YOU SO MUCH for posting this video!!!!

[@imperialfist2304]

The skelebros got the 200k. Congrats Duncan!

[@starryroad86]

I'm been collecting the paints Duncan used over the last few months. I got my Silent King in the mail and slowly took my time assembling and painting him. I followed his instructions to the best of my ability and it definitely paid off. My Silent King doesn't look as great as Duncan's but it's going to turn heads. Throughout the process, I found just one minor error,. Here on KZbin beneath "show more" and "Paints Used" there is no mention of Corax White, which is required of somebody attempting to follow Duncan in the video. Not a big deal, just mentioning for anybody else. Thanks a lot Duncan, you've taken my painting to the next level, and I'm looking forward to seeing you next time.

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

Whoops, thanks Joe. We'll add that straight away. And thanks for the kind words.

[@Kanvass01]

Well done, mate. you deserve two thin thumbs up.

[@kamtschatkas]

That was fast. I followed the video over on the painting academy and it turned out great (maybe except for the green on the menhirs, but some day when I am better, I will redo them)!

[@CorwinB]

Congratulations on the milestone!

[@kiernanmcclelland7212]

He's not just the hero our hobby needs, but the one we deserve.

I don't even collect necrons but I enjoy watching / listening to Duncan when painting myself! Bravo!

[@GladiatorMaster007]

TWO THIN COATS! THE PAINT GOD HAS SPOKEN! 😉

[@Ejanko]

Congratulations Duncan ! And thank you. For helping me with some painting process and making them accessible. But, also for helping me with night anxiety, I was using (and still do sometimes) your long painting guides as lullabies, can't count the times I fell asleep listening to your Magnus or Mortarion guide, or more recently, Sigvald ! P.S : Any plans for a Alpha Legion colour guide ?

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

Glad we could help. As for Alpha Legion, we have a full tutorial on our website (duncanrhodes.com)

[@stevenrussell8820]

WOW amazing guide I hope I can paint mine as well as you Duncan. Love the channel thanks.

[@MEGAyognauts]

Cant reccomend the painting academy enough, unlike all of the youtube videos out there Duncan shows you piece by piece exactly how to paint different effects for a whole range of armour types etc. Definitely worth a few quid a month

[@billiemcgee225]

WOW that’s amazing!!! I hope to try that one day😉

[@arcane3877]

We welcome the rise of King Thin Coats!

[@trustI17]

Did I miss the part where he comes back to do green lighting effects on the cape? Just curious how he went about all those little squares.

Congrats on 200k subs! I love those new Necron colors, they work really well for my Minotaurs army. Spray Rune Lord Brass. wash with Cryptek Armor Shade Reapply Rune Lord Brass to brighten things up again. Highlight with the Canoptek Alloy. Apply Red for the shoulder pads and black for the guns.

Although I'm not a big fan of the necrons this particular model looks amazing & that's me just commenting on the metal drybrushing

Congrats! To add to your superglue temp base tip: Freezing the model will make the superglue even more brittle in case you run into undue resistance when removing the base.
