Yeah, those idiots were the thorn in my side in this project. :)

I really appreciate you doing these long videos. They are very helpful for a newer painter. Thank you, Vincent!

[@VinceVenturella]

My pleasure! Always happy to help. :)

[@emilymegan40]

I LOVE these! Not only do I always learn something new, I come away inspired to paint all the things!🧡

[@VinceVenturella]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@TheMiniaturesPaintbrush]

Oh the rite of passage of spilling an entire bottle of agrax. I love these videos, the extra editing adds depth to your videos and the little lessons learned portion are informative and entertaining. Keep on trucking.

[@VinceVenturella]

Yeah, I've definitely spilled my fair share, and working this quick, of course it happened. ;)

[@seraphoncobus]

I'm deep into my first army (Seraphon) and it's great to see how much I've improved unit to unit. Thanks for the video it inspired me. I fully plan to go back and do a second pass on all my models with tips I took from this video. Thanks Vince!

[@VinceVenturella]

Awesome, happy to hear it was helpful. :)

[@williamscarvie4498]

This was an awesome video, Vince. I picked up quite a few tips and ideas for good decision making when painting cohesive forces. The one that really sticks out in my mind is your point about textures instead of straight highlights. Thank you. Yes please to more videos like these.

[@jeffbryant8441]

I watch all your vids, but this one was truly inspirational. The extra effort in post production showed and I appreciate the time it took to make that happen. Thank you for this!!

[@VinceVenturella]

Glad you enjoyed it! :)

[@Zagitzeck]

Loved this. I just watched it back to back with your Ogre army video and took a lot out of your method where you approach the model as a whole when it comes to the detail. Thanks!

[@VinceVenturella]

Awesome, happy to help as always. :)

[@brentwood7660]

Ok six and 1/2 in and I must say....The work you just executed is no different from the work of a material handler or any tenured employee who knows what they are doing! Hesitation is the enemy and most often hesitation arises from not knowing or not having faith in what you are doing. The synergy of both airbrush and brushwork in your strategy was awesome. It just made me realize how much of my "problem" is just a lack of faith in strategy and/or knowledge. Six and 1/2 hours is an effort in application, but we do it everyday at work. The time it takes (especially in the learning curve) is ok, because I am learning strategy and gaining faith in the process. Thank you for the motivation and realization Vince! So glad I was patient in watching this until it popped up after the last Warhammer Weekly!

[@VinceVenturella]

Awesome man, happy to help and glad it's all making sense. :)

[@jiminkpen9750]

Nice vid. I like the colours you did and adding the proper bases at the end just shows how they elevate a figure and an army.

They look fine on the tabletop, more than that they look great. Sometimes a horde painted nicely to a well thought out plan impresses more than one or two stunningly glazed art pieces that you can't play with till the other 90 models in the army somehow get finished. Great vid, If I finished that in 240 hours I'd be happy and proud, and playing with them

@31:50: I've been painting my Skaven just for fun, and I have just three handles I use. It's the perfect amount of models to do at once, because of all the reasons you mention. Getting three done at the same time, and with a negligible difference to painting only one model, it's a great motivator.

[@davedogge2280]

I'll always remember 4 days before the launch of GW contrast paints there were some contrast painted minis on show that they had done in the shop. The space marine looked terrible but the seraphon looked pretty good. Seraphons are a top candidate for GW contrast paints for sure for a quickie paint job.

[@VinceVenturella]

Yep, the texture and stuff makes them so good for speed techniques. :)

[@pauloceccon825]

Great video, thanks

[@docbun]

Yes, that was fun indeed! And interesting too. Your use of contrast paints and washes (not for desk mopping, on the minis ;) almost makes me want to try it out on Project Elite's bunch of idiot aliens... ;) Edit: I forgot to mention that I love hearing more of your outro music than we usually do - lovely dynamic, groovy, inspiring stuff!

I think that is the great way to describe it. :)

[@ubernoob458]

Hi Vince I'm really excited to get started with my Seraphon painting. You didn't mention exactly what "light brown" you went with for the primer. I know you like Vallejo primers did you use something like a Desert Tan or Skeleton Bone primer. Also what did you use for the zenithal phase? Were those also Vallejo paints? If so what were the colors you used? Thanks and I love your work!

[@VinceVenturella]

This was Light Brown (that is the color. ;) ) The later zenithal was just an ivory paint.

[@manaseater]

Love the channel and love your work. The Hobby cheating series is fantastic and underrated and you deserve at least 5x the subs. This one was awesome. Please do more of these. Do a space marine one, would love to see if myself and space marines get subs let’s be real. Love the quick character you did in the middle, maybe do stand alone 30 min to 1 hour character videos (30 mins to 1 hour of painting but the video only about 10 mins long I mean)? Would be great. (Do a primaris character for bonus points/likes/subs)! Keep up the great work!

Nice one Vince. Really enjoyed the colours and your execution of these ‘Somanysaurus’ 😂. I’ve been stuck in the (attempted) GW style of painting for a while and must make the transition to the airbrush world.. Apologies if you’ve answered this a million times; which airbrush set up would you recommend? Happy to buy a decent one so I don’t have to buy twice. Cheers dude.

[@VinceVenturella]

Thank you, always happy to help. So if you can find the all in one Master Airbrush kit on Amazon, that's where you start, the one with the gravity fed G-22 or G23 There are lot sof different versions of the bundle now, but it comes at minimum with a tank, a hose and a cheap, starter airbrush. If you ever break that, who cares, you can replace it for about $20, perfect for learning and doing basic work and once you have the confidence, you can make an upgrade into something that will last :)

[@miniaturehollow7434]

Vince Venturella Thanks dude. You’re a legend 😎👍

[@tp6498]

Hi Vince, liked the video. I have a question if you don't mind. I'm new to the hobby so I've been watching a lot of mini painters here on KZbin and one thing I've noticed is that a lot seem to swear by using zenithal highlighting but an equal number of them don't seem to use it at all. To be honest I can't tell the difference in the finished minis between the painters who've used a zenithal highlight and those who haven't. Why do you prefer it and am I short changing myself learning wise if I skip that process? Thank you.

[@VinceVenturella]

My answer is that it's such a powerful tool, especially for new people. It shows you the level of contrast and where the highlighting should be. Painters who are very experienced will sometimes work from a single color either because a) they have been painting a long time and they have gotten used to it or b) they know really well where the lights are going to go without any additional guide. My advice from what I do and what I know many other top painters do is to do the zenithal, it can just make things so much easier especially as you're learning. Hope that helps.

[@brightsudu1991]

I was driving myself crazy today trying to make my six Thunderwolf look perfect and just really not enjoying my hobby time. Gonna have a different mindset tomorrow for sure. Thanks

[@VinceVenturella]

That's awesome, glad to hear it. :)

[@MrSJPowell]

I learned in my first army paint project, that for me (and note those operative words. ymmv) doing a few models at a time in an army up to nearly done is more demoralizing than it is encouraging. Looking at that pile of half done mini's nearly broke me, when those first 18 looked so good. Of course it doesn't help that I was working on a box game, so I could see all the mini's in one go. Ever since, I work by squads, and generally will only do a part of the overall plan on that squad, before doing that same thing on the next squad. Once I finish all the squads, I'll go through on the next step. For example, on the game I'm nearly done painting, I'm working on the last squad's bases, and then I'll start over and do a final check on each squad's skin, cleaning up, and highlighting as needed. It's tedious, but it works better for me than your method. This isn't to say your method is wrong. It works for you, so that's amazing! It doesn't work for me, and maybe someone else might need to hear that. That said, congrats on another painted army!

[@VinceVenturella]

Absolutely, I think that is more than fine and fair. IN the end, we each have to find our own ways. If it's working for you, and you are getting stuff painted, then it's the right answer. :)

[@thorstenrumpf1312]

Great colours! Which colour would fit to paint membranes for wings and on the back?

[@VinceVenturella]

A turquoise or light blue would be an excellent contrast.

[@theharrower]

I'd call it a success. Even though you didn't hit the mark, that's a ton to get done in 24 hours. Did you clean mold lines or did that one Saurus you were working on just get missed? My OCD was killing me seeing it on there. This inspired to get some paint on my 40 converted marauders so thanks for that.

[@VinceVenturella]

Honestly, I didn't do much prep, these were old figs and I didn't feel much like prepping. FOr a quick fun project and an army that isn't going to a tourney, it's fine. :)

[@Anecron1]

Vince, when putting that many airbrushlayers on the model, does the zenithal highlights at the beginning really have an effect on the finished model or is this just to help during painting?

[@VinceVenturella]

Yes, when they are thin like this, and especially transparent colors like orange, it still has a strong influence for sure. :)

[@lucasszymanski114]

nice work!

[@VinceVenturella]

Thank you. :)

[@marceltrottier7014]

Great video. Did you just rebase the basic troops after they were painted? Because in the beginning they were not on the round bases. I searched the channel for a video on the process of putting painted minis on a base but couldnt find it. :(

[@VinceVenturella]

Yep, just popped them off the old bases and glued them to the new bases with Loctite ultragel control glue. It's super strong and makes the process easy.

[@marceltrottier7014]

@@VinceVenturella do you just cut the old bases away with a blade and cutters? I'd always be afraid to damage the minis

[@geteavnroc2250]

I think this is a failure at painting an army in 24 hours. In the grand scheme of army creation, going from in-the-box, to fully painted and based result, its always going to take alot more than 24 hours. Its just the nature of the beast, when you're trying to get something decently painted, and ready to be played, while going through the ENTIRE process. However, for the quality you put out on these, within that 24 hours - THAT was a tremendous amount of work, and that should definitely be applauded and enjoyed. I love when you do these types of videos, because it shows the distinct differences in painting a thing to a high quality, and simply painting an army to a decent quality, and getting out on the table. As always, amazing work Vince!!! What i would like to know, is not how fast you can paint an army, but from start (in the box) to finished (fully painted and based), how many hours it takes you to paint an army to this quality. Why? Because it'll set a bar that we can all strive for.

[@steest2010]

Why? The video is titled painting an army in 24 hours. I don't care about him putting together models I want to see him paint them and tell us about some neat strategies about painting.

[@VinceVenturella]

Sure, I understand, so the answer to your question is about an extra 12 hours realistically, most of these were already assembled as they were old figs. I understand what you mean and thanks for the full feedback. :)

[@Saijak]

I ashamed, my first army was never finished. Still want to thou 15 years later. Thanks for this video, I might just retry again.

[@VinceVenturella]

[@Mikey__R]

Hey Vince, I recently came across the GSW candy paints. I know your "to review" waiting list is really long, I wondered if they might be on it? Watching you airbrush on the contrast paints at 3:30, it looks like the GSW candies are cheaper, but the range is far more limited.

[@VinceVenturella]

I'll have to take a look, haven't played with them at all yet.

[@Mikey__R]

@@VinceVenturella cheers! I know theres an almost endless queue of new products to try out.

[@nemikan]

I've been trying to use FW inks but always have to varnish afterwards to stop them from rubbing off. You seem to interchangeability with normal paints throughout the process and then just varnish at the end. Normally its not a big deal, but speed painting wise that extra varnish takes a good chunk of time. How are you able to work around that?

[@VinceVenturella]

So a few things, my basement is very, very dry, so everything sets quickly, that could be part of it, both the inks and the varnish dry quickly, but in general, you only need to give an airbrush layer of varnish about 10 minutes, so it generally doesn't take that much time away even if you are frequently varnishing.

[@crazyhorse-us3ng]

A lot of great tips and tricks. I have to say I'm a little disappointed that there was now footage of the big monsters being painted. After seeing how the Carnosaur turned out I would have loved to see some tips on that. Overall though this is great as usual.

[@Clidefride007]

Looks amazing. 24hours, wow. I am no where near that fast or that good, but I really like your point. It doesn't matter how long it takes or how good you are, just practice and paint your army. It doesn't really natter what it looks like.

I mean, I haven't played with those 2 games in ages because I want to have my minis painted, and I only need to paint them to a certain standard to do that, but I keep struggling to get into this mentality. Man, thank you, really, is easier for me when I see people that can paint at your level, doing something like this, with an entirely different approach and still make the minis on the table look badass as they fight.

[@VinceVenturella]

Thank you, always happy to help and the key as always is just set your expectations accordingly.

[@dmitrysuprunov9780]

Is there any generic "rule" for the wash/shade color (before drybrushing and inks)? If I want to paint blue model (for example ultramarine) should I use blue wash?

[@VinceVenturella]

Not really, there are some no-goes, but there are a wide range of colors that will work. Space Marines are a funny example because they are one of the figures that takes washes the worst. The key with washes and their effectiveness is the more large flat areas a model has, he less the wash will be effective and a Space Marine is a lot of big flat panels. Now, as to colors, here are some tips. in general, you can always use the darker version of that color (for example, - Ultramarine, you can use the dark blue wash, no issue there), you can also use something like Agrax quite freely as it is sort of black/brown and quite weak. What you want to avoid is over using Nuln, the more pure black will really darken and stain many brighter colors. I hope that all helps.

[@Chronic.]

The greatest Obstacle i always face, and i still haven´t found a satisfying way to overcome it, is coming up with a color scheme for my projects. My KO for example, i know that i want Turquoise armor and then i try to come up with contrasting colors for the different parts. "Do i use regular brown leather, do i paint it dark grey, how does it look on Thunderers, is it to much on Arkanaut Company" etc etc. And i end up not painting at all. its kinda frustrating being in that hole and not be able to dig myself out of it.

[@VinceVenturella]

So I will give ou some tips here. 1) It doesn't matter. Seriously, you can use any or all of those neutral colors and it literally doesn't matter. All of those neutral tones don't interact with the color scheme. 2) A test model is always fine, just lay down some colors and go, it's one model, what's the worst case? You prime over it and try again, you can paint the same model 20 times with little issue. 3) Look at other people who have painted it. Google the things you're painting and look at how others have done it, then steal that scheme. No shame or shade, there is no original color scheme in a hobby of hundreds of thousands of people. :) 4) A color wheel is your friend. Start with the color you like, then just select a split complimentary scheme (3 actual hues), then the rest is all the neutral tones. Easy peasy. Hope that all helps.

Any chances of getting some ak interactive reviews in the future?

[@VinceVenturella]

Yep, I am going to be reviewing the 3rd gen line soon, just waiting on my second shipment to test more colors.

[@mogwaiman6048]

You're nuts man! In a good way though.

[@VinceVenturella]

I don't disagree. :)

[@markmih]

can you explain easy way to rebase models to round bases w/o breaking legs

[@VinceVenturella]

So there are a few options, for these guys, I just slid my slippers under each foot, flat side toward the base and popped them off. If you absolutely can't get them off, you can also just trim the sides off the base, leaving only the flat top and then place that whole thing on a new round and put some paste/grit over the line. Hope that all helps.

[@markmih]

fantastic appreciate it!

Is it possible to paint a 2k Khorne army in this span of time? Because tis is amazing :D

[@VinceVenturella]

It would depend on the Khorne army. If it was mostly the simpler models, it could be done. If it was lots of blood warriors and the more ornate sculpts, it just wouldn't be possible I suspect, the models have too much fine detail that chews up time.

[@galainboredgamer3460]

@@VinceVenturella Yeah. 40 Bloodletters for the win :D

[@Frostsnake69]

The main question is. How do you get such a large army ready for painting quickly? Everything has to be glued, the moldlines removed, it takes a long time

[@VinceVenturella]

I mean, it took a few days in advance, I have videos on how to make assembly easier, but it's always somewhat of a slog for sure.

I like this. :)

Thank you, always happy to help. :)

pretty dogs, I got a soft spot for Goldens. the only dogs I had my whole life until the dog I have now. I had 2 males both passed away , now I have a husky. talk about a difference! 10x the energy of a golden.

[@VinceVenturella]

I can't imagine dogs with 10x the energy of my current dogs, as I have very high energy goldens, but we got the weird ones. I am the same way, my wife and I have always had goldens and love them. :)

Old school cool.

Yeah, lots of old school great seraphon for sure. :)

That's awesome. :)

Wow! 😎

Thank you. :)

[@silverczaja]

the mouldlines ...., any paintjobs, no matter how good gets ruined by those

[@VinceVenturella]

It happens. :)

[@silverczaja]

yeh, i suppose, my inner perfectionist goblin doesn't let me leave mudlines on anything, i spend nearly as much time cleaning up models as i do painting them sometimes lol, maybe that's why my pile of shame is so large, oh well ... i will have things to do for another 20 years :D@@VinceVenturella

How about a hobby cheating video about setting up our own KZbin studio?

[@VinceVenturella]

I'm the wrong person to ask about that, my painting desk, is my work desk is my hobby filming area and I have a real slap dash set-up. I do know Miniac did a big video about his set-up and it's amazing.

[@horationoseblower6336]

No 24hr painting marathon? What about allnighter gaming?

[@VinceVenturella]

I would love to have streamed it all, but that would probably legitimately kill me. :)

[@user-bk7lf7dd8u]

You shouldn't have those retrievers in the same room especially when you're using the airbrush. Other than that gj.

[@VinceVenturella]

They don't normally hang out with me when airbrushing, but as this was time sensitive and I had to watch them, it was unavoidable for this short burst. :)

[@xavierp.1378]

Hi VinceV, Thanks for this great video. I've learned a bunch of tricks that I'll try to keep in my for my future projects! I had a question: why don't you use wooden stick as shown here: massivevoodoo.blogspot.com/2010/02/tutorial-painting-5-miniatures-all-at.html ? When it comes to paint identical models (kudos to the 50 idiots in the back), this technique allows you to reproduce the exact same gesture on 5 minis at once, by simply sliding the stick. Using this (with an airbrush or brush) is a huge speed up to me. Cheers

[@VinceVenturella]

It's not comfortable is the short answer. You want something you are holding when painting to be roughly the shape of your hand at rest, helps avoid muscle stress and cramps. IMportant when you are trying to power through 24 hours of work. :)

[@xavierp.1378]

@@VinceVenturella Hi, thanks for your answer. I've never used this technique for more than 4 hours session I guess. Thanks again & looking forward for your next video!

[@DeadSkinSuit]

More dogs pls

[@VinceVenturella]

If I just did a dog focused video, it would be the biggest video on the channel. :)
