[@akumaking1]

Will you ever do tutorials for each faction; ie how to paint each race’s basic troops?

[@br42]

Thank you!

[@graat6990]

Khorne all the way. Even i don't think i'll use the gloss at the end. Nurgle was pretty cool too

[@ionminiatures]

I’m curious what models you used for these tutorials? I looked all over the AoS Chaos line and didn’t see them. I’m hoping they aren’t part of a huge army box but can be purchased in a smaller set.

[@Freezaen]

What a great way to showcase not only four simple evocative colour schemes for the Chaos Gods, but also four easy-to-replicate painting techniques to create really distinctive looks. Well done, Painting Academy. Nurgle loves you. :)

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

Thank you. We had a blast doing this one 😊

[@RevanR]

Tzeentch colour scheme : 0:47 Nurgle colour scheme : 7:50 Slaanesh colour scheme : 16:40 Khorne colour scheme : 23:24 Amazing techniques, thanks for the tips

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

Thanks for sharing. We'll add it to the video

[@optimalgamestate]

@@DuncanRhodesDRPA ​ @Duncan Rhodes Painting Academy If you change that in the description to 00:00 Introduction 00:47 Tzeentch colour scheme 07:50 Nurgle colour scheme 16:40 Slaanesh colour scheme 23:24 Khorne colour scheme Then it will trigger automatic video chapters. You just need to make sure you start with 00:00 and have at least 3 timestamps in chrono order at least 10 seconds apart. You've got it on some of the videos so at least one person on the team already knows how to do it :P

[@TheRedBrethren]

@@DuncanRhodesDRPA are you doing two thin coats for the bkue and green or just one so the silver base still shows through

[@OrdoPictorum]

I really like what you did for the Slaanesh armor (and not because of my bias) it still looks a bit intimidating to put into practice but I'm gonna give it a go on an obliterator. Also, praise the Fifth! Glory to the Pug!

[@buntekuh01]

I hear the fifth god is somewhat pugnacious.

[@dahksinol56]

The Tzeentch scheme is top knotch, and the Nurgle one is just absolutely inspired. Love how you guys always make next level color schemes without being overly complex to paint.

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

Thank you. We just want to make it achievable for everyone 😊

[@Grahammer40k]

"I don't think I could like Duncan more," *he has a pug* "I lied,"

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

Gyzmo sure has some strange powers....

[@thomas.moerman]

What happens when you feed him after midnight?

[@andyseverance1519]

As a brand new miniature painter, this tutorial is AMAZING! It's basically a 4 for 1 armor painting tutorial. Thanks!

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

You're very welcome! Glad it was helpful

[@kevins7884]

Thanks for the slaanesh part. Gave me the confidence to try wetblending and my chaos terminator armor looks insanely good

[@liamkehoe5957]

The Tzeentch techniques applies really well to the Alpha Legion as well.

[@EndriuC]

... cause it's more green than blue?

[@YT-Sash]

oooh, like the intro! the music, the skulls, and the '5th chaos god!' 🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@thislostendevour]

Duncan has blessed us with a new tutorial!

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

Yay!

[@alfadasfire]

That tzeentch colour scheme could work great for say the Alpha Legion too, that metallic shiny blue

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

Sure will! All the schemes shown here would work in 40K 😀

[@alfadasfire]

@@DuncanRhodesDRPA i also really like other techniques! Wet blending looks great and indeed not too hard. And the sponging looks fun. But mostly the streaking for Nurgle is useful to me. Love nurgle, love the death guard, would like to get some S2D and make them all nurgle-y

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

That would be awesome!

[@TheRedBrethren]

@@DuncanRhodesDRPA is the blue and turquoise just one coat since you're doing that intermittent paint mixing method. or are you gong back over it with another layer doing the same thing

[@Hippiecult]

There’s so much creative talent and knowledge in this video.

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

Thank you

[@guillermogutierrez1949]

Best chaos warriors painting tutorial ever!!!

[@Kaiyanwang82]

This one was excellent, Duncan. Different schemes, different bases, and refining techniques in the same video shown on similar models it's a lot of information. Great!

[@jimmyjamwhambam]

absolutely love that purple to pink! looks incredible

[@Carboncopie]

Love the way you explain things. Easy to understand and to follow.

[@AnimatedIsaac]

I love how you change the colour of your background to match each scheme!

[@pessimisticAI]

Great techniques, clear and well-explained, usable in countless situations!

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Trazynn]

I love that dapple effect on the Khorne Warrior's plate. Curious how that would look with different colours, like blue, or white.

[@Smilomaniac]

Brilliant video, what a fantastic easygoing and encouraging explanation. Bravo.

[@GeekySkippy]

Thank you! I was looking for inspiration as I’m starting an Old World Warriors of Chaos army with the new Chaos Warrior sculpts. I’ll definitely be taking inspiration from this tutorial. Thank you once again.

[@hienpham2415]

Thank you, the way how you did the woody grain from the Nurgles armour, really did make it look better than the classic approaches to it

[@ironbomb6753]

Excellent vid. Wet blending is fun and my favorite way to paint. 👍

[@scottywan82]

This was really good! I love the techniques you showed. I'd love to see how you would do Chaos Undivided marauders or Dark Oath Savagers.

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

Good shout

[@travislift963]

What a great video. The cinematics were looking good!

[@kevinpotter7311]

Loved this thanks Duncan

[@drwhy1037]

The Khorne armour could look fantastic on the future World Eaters 100% going to use

[@MoonlesssNight]

The Slaanesh one is really pleasing to the eyes Duncan, you did a fantastic job as always!

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

Thank you

[@user-qg4st8ih1d]

Great stuff! Always keen to see videos encouraging wet blending

[@davidbeth9090]

The Runious Powers are satisfied with this video

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

All hail the Ruinous Powers

[@prdalien0]

Those look great, Chaos warriors are simply too cool.😎

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

They sure do

[@Fymosis]

Awesome video, i love the tzeentch effect with 2 contrast, the nurgle "striking" technique finally made me understand how to add "texture", easiest wetblend "tutorial" i've ever seen, and the ardcoat on the granular khorne armor make it looks so unique, you can be proud of this video, your work is so inspiring.

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

Thank you. We had fun creating this one.

[@ChimpingBulldog]

Beautiful pup. Pugs for the Pug god!

[@chaserv5240]

The tutorials are brilliant Duncan, give great inspiration. Thanks to you and the team.

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

Our pleasure!

[@thewanderer1317]

The Khorne scheme is my favorite, definitely going to use that for a kitbash I have planned.

[@evileyeball]

Akhelian Green over silver is what I used for Alpha Legion in my AL kill team. Its been very nice. My first ever contrast paint experience.

[@galaxydirewolf6606]

Love the tzeench one, definitely gonna be getting a box of warriors to try that paint scheme

[@AquamentusZero]

Happy new year, Duncan! May this one be better than the last.

[@IthaaRiru]

I love this kind of videos, of different ways to paint the same! keep it up guys!

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

Thanks! Will do! 👍

[@OmegaLittleBob]

Nice! Might try that Nurgle technique for my Death Guard killeteam

[@McRino1]

Oooh nelly that slanessssh one IS lush. Really lovely. I think I will use it for tzeench though, between purple and blue

[@theharrower]

Saved the best for last. Blood for the Blood God!

[@13Robzilla]

These techniques are amazing. You could even swap the colors. Doing the Nurgle techniques with the Khorne colors it would look like bands of muscle. Awesome sauce, thank you.

[@panzerkitsune]

Thanks for doing these videos Duncan, they really help me out. Wellmade narration and examples shown onscreen. The fav gotta be Tzeentch in this video.

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

Thank you

[@danielbear9183]

Amazing as always

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@jiffah]

great video!! I will definitely try some of these tips! (one note: I would have liked a final shot of all 4 next to each other as a visual recap)

[@loupiscanis9449]

Thank you , DRPA . 🐺

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

Thank you Loupis Canis 🐺

[@MKempICI]

I always learn something new from your videos. Thank you, sir!

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

Our pleasure, we are glad we could help

[@CloneShockTrooper]

Man I love these videos..

[@bmulls1214]

Can you show us how you did your clansmen of Lamedon, and how you did those awesome tartans even over the shoulder? You're awesome and I'm glad to see you're doing so well on your own! Thanks!

[@fin4314]

You just convinced me to try out wet blending, the final effect looks amazing

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

It sure does and it's really not that difficult

[@Mr.Smerples]

Watched this with my kid as we usually do. He asked about who these chaos gods are, so i showed him a lord of change. "Heybig birds supposed to be yellow, who made him blue!" Now i cant stop picturing the other three as sesame street chars.

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

Brilliant! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Mograinee]

I love your approach to painting these guys looks very original and fun to do especially the Slaanesh one turned out so beautifully!

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

Thank you so much 😀

[@imefix]

These schemes are insane! Simple yet very eye catching, I'll definetely use these to paint my next army! The only question that remains is: to which god should I sell my soul to?

[@mirage809]

These are all super useful ideas that work really well. The Tzeetch one is a great way to get Heresy style Alpha Legion. Forge World love that metallic scheme for those guys and it looks the business. The Slaanesh one blows my mind though. That wet blend style technique looks absolutely incredible. Hard to believe it's only two colours making that effect.

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

Yup, and it's so easy to do too.

[@quinnjdq]

Amazing job on the video, I love seeing Duncan be creative! so much character in all four schemes.

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

Thank you very much!

[@CorbinatorLoL]

Awesome video!

[@thierrysultan1468]

How can I call a masterclass when it is given by Duncan !? Thank you for all those great ideas.

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

Our pleasure!

[@guleri]

This video was very inspiring. I have some old Chaos warriors that I started to paint metallic and add washes on to get them to look like Nurgle, Khorne and Slaanesh (yes they have been half done for a very long time). Seeing this I think I will give it a go trying some of the things you did in this video instead.

[@BrooksSligh]

Good stuff with that first scheme, I might have to make some changes to my Alpha Legion plans.

[@awordabout...3061]

Love that Slaanesh scheme! I've got an old metal Aspiring Champion for my Old World undivided army, and I've been looking for something to do with him to create a slaanesh champion!

[@roryoutdoors5431]

ENTRAILS & ENTROPY!! Rewatching as the algo commands, by Krom!

[@Frozenkoldfury]

Tzeentch appreciates your fine work! I'll admit I preferred the Khorne armour pre-gloss, but I can just skip that step if need be!

[@AbelDuviant]

This is a very good tutorial, thank you very much.

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

Our pleasure

[@MrMockigton]

i always loved the slaanesh scheme from the storm of chaos campaign book ... if you fancied doing a video on that, id be eternally grateful!

[@MrNasher113]

Ah yes the 5th chaos god, Pugus, lord of cuteness and all things fluffy 😅

[@rakshithanand8262]

*Sees new video* Praise the Primordial truth! two thin coats! two thin coats!

[@color63ch]

awesome. I learn from your videos. thank you for sharing🔔👍

[@MAYFLY01]

I'm definitely doing the new World Eaters range with the Khorne armour technique. The all seem straight forward aswell, thank you Duncan

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

Awesome. And it's our pleasure

[@MentoliptusBanko]

This is awesome! These colour schemes can be used for Chaos Space Marines...just the Tzeench colours are more fitting for the Alpha Legion.

[@ExceedProduction]

Awesome work!

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@corymcgarrity7535]

I absolutely love watching people that you just look at and think, "oh yeah they smoke pot! :)"

[@Nos4a2ed]

your great fun to watch

[@Frosty4427]

That shifting blue/green metallic armour world be perfect for Alpha Legion.

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

Sure is. In fact it what we used yo paint ours 👍

[@leoxgamer1342]

Duncan you realize because you’ve reveled to the world you have a adorable pug you are required by law to put him in every video after this one 😂😂

[@petrinafilip96]

Slaanesh one was especially creative

[@aytchpee]

that tzeentch armor looks like it could make a really good alpha legion paint job

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

Sure can. In fact it's what we use

[@lacanian_lifter]

When're we gonna get a pug painting tutorial? The blending on the ears and mid-face looks great.

[@csc639]

Thanks for another wonderful tutorial! If I make mistakes on Tzeentch or Slaanesh armours, how should I fix them? Should I basecoat the entire panel and start all over again? Happy new year, by the way!

[@YanniCooper]

Very happy to see Slaanesh not represented last for once

[@cwwabg9859]

All are great, but that Tzeentch really pops. Would that contrast on silver work with black armor or are the black contrast too opaque? Would like to do some shiny black but nrm is out of my reach atm.

[@drbeandog4209]

I liked that the light in the back changed depending on the god

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

Yeah, Rog had fun with that 😀

[@evileyeball]

I did my first wet blending by accident when painting an aspiring sorcerer for my old Thousand sons army back in 2005... I was trying to put blue around the base of the white robe but didn't let the white dry enough first and got a wonderful blend and went "I wonder if anyone else thought of doing this" then i looked online and saw that it was a technique people tired to learn.

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

Happy little accident I guess 😊

[@TheSynthisis]

Love the video and I'm thinking of applying your Slanesh technique on my Nurgle marines. Starting on the top with greens and blending the old Death Guard white near the bottom then add streaks of corruption.

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

That sounds awesome

[@Bl0kMann]

Amazing tutorial, one quick question, for the khorne scheme if I use a varnish and it removes some of the gloss from the armour should I go back over with 'ard coat to regain some of the gloss?

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

Yes, but try it on a small area first to see if you get the result you want. Oh, and thank you 😊

[@LastRoseOfWinter]

As someone just getting into S2D who loves Nurgle armies... Yeah I need to figure out how to replicate that nurgle scheme. It'll be worth the time to not just slap contrast or speed paint on a model and call it a day. They just look too amazing

[@gammafighter]

I prefer the traditional black armor, but these are definitely some cool techniques. I might do the blood splatter on some Khorne-marked Chaos Chosen or the Purple-tinged gold on some Slanessh-marked Chaos Knights. I'd love to incorporate that rotting look to the shields of my Nurgle-marked Chaos Warriors, but I'll have to figure out how to make it look good in black.

[@drdotts8878]

Hey Duncan I’ve watched your painting videos for as long as I can remember. I love your work. On that note I would like to know if you could help me. I’m thinking about making a disciples of belakor army of renown and I want to give all the units a slight shadowy theme I could apply on all of them in addition to their normal khorne/nurgle/tzeentch/slaanesh schemes. Like almost a ghostly shadow on them since the whole army theme is supposed to be as if they are shadows. Thanks❤

[@beeeeeesbury]

Perhaps a gloss varnish or wash, with green wet blending on the most extreme edges of cloth?

[@MrJordwalk]

TURBO DORK IS ALSO UTTERLY PERFECT FOR TZEENTCH, because their paints are colour shifting. From dark to light, I use Wave Length (deep blues and purples with just a hint of pink when used over black, Ice To Never (mid-tone blues, purples and a kiss of turquoise) and Crystal Cavern (pale blue and pinkish-purple).

[@philiphamel8504]

That blue Tzeentch scheme would look really good for Alpha Legion too

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

Sure will

[@mtymus]

Nice work. What colours would you paint the cape and other cloth parts of the tzeentch warrior?

[@kmykz]

The warhound titan at the beginning is the most scary of them all.

[@Mrnightroad12]

how would ya paint the new Slaves to Darkness army box with Undivided Theme? love the blending of colors for the 4 Armor themes.

[@chrysanthemumcrown]

Awesome video! I'm just starting to collect some Slaves to Darkness and am planning on making them dedicated to Slaanesh! This will help greatly!!

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

Awesome! Glad we could help 👍

[@user-ne4ld3jp6i]

I can't help but feel that that technique you used on the Tzeentch warrior's blue armor would be perfect for Alpha Legion space marines.

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

It sure is. In fact, it's the very technique we used to paint our Alpha Legion

[@jussileppanen6244]

Thanks for very inspirational videos, greetings from Finland! Can you recommend some brushes with good snap 🤔

[@akabisoyael2383]

love the technique for Slaanesh ! i would apply that to my wraith guard host ! thank you !

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

You're so welcome!

[@geoshisan6349]

Hi Duncan, I don’t know if you’ll see this, but I’ve also got some slaves to darkness models and I’m trying paint them so that the armour looks like cracked molten rock, as though whatever is inside the armour is some sort of flame spirit, if you have any advice on how I could make this effect work it’d be really appreciated!

[@marksutherlandjr.2121]

Hey Duncan, I see your shirts on the store. Do you have a link where I can find your paint line? Also every amazing painter I watch, I notice they use these brushes that look a lot bigger then mine, but they go to an amazing tip, I have all these small starter brushes and fine detail brushes but I want to get my hands on one of those brushes that I see most of these great painters using 90% of the time.

[@zackcook5123]

I've bought a couple of his paints from element games. Very nice range highly recommend they each corresponds to a citadel paint in terms of colour and saturation but higher quality I feel

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

Hi Mark. You can find a list of stockists here: www.duncanrhodes.com/paint_stockists/ The Artis Opus brushes can be bought from Element Games. I hope this helps :-)

[@marksutherlandjr.2121]

@Duncan Rhodes Painting Academy Had a cup of hot tea this evening, it sat too long while I've been painting and not paying it any mind. I mindlessly reached over to take a small pull off the cooled down drink by the handle, and swallowed a mouth full of Skeleton Bone & Brown Leather paint water. 😆 I hope your paints taste as good as Army Painter 🤣
