How I Paint Things - Myrmourn Banshees

[@ValkGame]

Screaming skull to paint a screaming skull, makes sense.

[@galan8115]

And she is also screaming. Perfect color.

[@stevepickering5978]

I have one of these to do will be using this way to paint it. Excellent

[@southerngrey]

A message from my 5 year old who is learning to paint. And is about to start on his banshees. "Thank you for showing me how to paint my banshees. I think yours look really cool, and I'll do mine the same way :) "

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

That's very cool! Thank him very much for saying hello, and let him know I suggested he take it slow, and don't be afraid to start over if something doesn't look quite right. :D

[@southerngrey]

@@SonicSledgehammerStudio Passed that on before he went to bed. One very excited young man. I'd say you've made a fan there.

[@Not_Quite_Dead]

Very interesting tutorial. Thanks a lot!

[@johnkelley9877]

Great tutorial! Especially the grabby and the stabby. Thanks for sharing this tutorial.

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

It's important that you don't get those two mixed up, after all. Incorrect use of either grabby or stabby elements can result in extremely unpleasant use of an ineffective weapon! ;)

[@johnkelley9877]

Good advice!

[@evanstrong4064]

i love how these are all very special

[@jonanjello]

Gorgeous. I plan to purchase Dreadfane and would like to paint up my own Banshees. Thanks for the tutorial.

[@philRminiatures]

Most impressive blue shades, a beautiful figure and a fantastic paint job!

[@MarionetteX4]

Always keen for more creatures, monsters and spooky things! :D

[@SharkR]

nice style , and nice how u explain

[@brijant]

Amazing and simple as always 👍

[@warp5p1d3r6]

they already have picking activation's in AoS, in the combat phase, which works to sort of balance it out. also Martin Morrin said that as soon as a book comes out they are working on the next book, so like space marines and then space marine 2.0. so if 8th came out of course they are working on 9, makes sense.

[@carlmayne3519]

I seriously love that leather effect. Will be using that next time I paint a mini with leather on it :D

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

I'd seen miniatures being shaded a couple of times before, but it hadn't occurred to me until quite by accident when painting equipment on a Marine. Accidents happen, and suddenly... bam!

[@13Robzilla]

That's how all great techniques are discovered, by accident/experimentation. As a friend of mine once said, "the experiment of today is the go-to technique of tomorrow."

[@euansmith3699]

That is great; though I wish that GW wouldn't put those joints running right across the heads of their ghostly minis. The issue goes right back to the two piece body on the Cairn Wraith. Do you have any tips for hiding that, while still keeping the smooth lines of the design?

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

It's a pain in the neck, right? I've seen a few solutions, most of which tend to involve some liquid green stuff, but who's got the time across forty-odd spooky boogies? One that's worked for me is to run a line of glue along the seam, let it dry, then do a second and leave that to dry overnight. The following day you can usually just take your knife/scraper to it and smooth it out like ordinary plastic, and it should be fine. I just got too damn keen to paint this one. ;)

[@zinhtetmaung2553]

Great videos man! I’m using your technique to paint my Iron Warriors! Keep it up and subbed!

[@andreasrasmussen195]

Loved the video buddy. Nice and simple, well explained. Keep it up! Would love to see more from the Soul Wars box.

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

Slowly but surely! :D I've got a bunch of these spooks and specters to paint up, still...

[@andreasrasmussen195]

@@SonicSledgehammerStudio that sounds awesome! (for me at least haha). Already subscribed to your channel, so can't wait for more videos 😉💪🏼

[@NixxNikoli]

Great content as always

[@TheMiniJunkie]

Great video! I had a heck of a time painting those ghostly cloth areas on these, I may need to try your technique.

[@IDICBeer]

Nice job fella

[@christophersmith5691]

The 'chill daggers' are special weapons, give them a blue-tinge?

[@rejectx7798]

This Sorta gave me an idea. I’m not very good at getting those pesky eyes, so do you think I could use this to make Ghost Sisters of Battle?

[@BobBoonah1]

LIke the model, wish you'd painted more detail on the base, like the leaves for example

[@philippekromjong8290]

That's a very helpful video mate, thanks for that! I really liked the explenations of the techniques, especially the part that when lifting the brush up it pools, so you flip the model around. Very helpful! Will you be doing any more Nighthaunt?

[@sleepsinleaves]

Nah, don't need the new Warcry Red Harvest box. These would look way cooler on the table. Already have the Bringers of Death book!

[@yyrkoon13]

So I literally JUST got into this hobby and picked up this Mini set and a few paints. Saw this video and decided to go get these paints for it. I am wondering what you used for the primer base coat (I would guess ULTHUAN GREY)? Great job.

[@yyrkoon13]

The reason I ask is that it seems to matter in order get the initial wash to look that chalky. I know nothing about painting miniatures so I apologize if that is a stupid question.

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

For the primer I hit it with a couple of light sprays of Corax White, which is very close to Ulthuan Grey in colour. If I'm doing something I want to look smooth, I'll then do a thin coat of Ulthuan Grey to even out any imperfections in the primer and give me a better surface to paint from. But to answer the original question, I think, Corax White is the primer to choose. :)

[@yyrkoon13]

@@SonicSledgehammerStudio Maybe a stupid question, but I assume you prime the pieces while still on the Sprue and then build?

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

Nope! Primed once it's all assembled. If you prime pieces on the sprue then clip them off, you're going to end up with bits you need to re-prime, as well as not being able to smooth out any mould lines without peeling off your primer. In most cases - a good 95% of the time - it's easiest to simply assemble a miniature and do your clean up, then prime it.

[@SunFury1079]

Great job. Why did you go with nihilak oxide over hexwraith flame from the last nighthaunt mini you painted?

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

Honestly, it was just a colour preference. I like the slightly more ethereal look Nihilahk Oxide has for the Banshees. :)

[@michalsimonik3068]

Could you elaborate on roses? Mainly colors used? :)

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

Just Screamer Pink, then the same shade and drybrush as the rest of the base.

[@michalsimonik3068]

Thanks

[@j.taylor7361]

I don’t think GW makes that glaze anymore. What do you suggest instead?

[@JG-fi1vq]

What color prime use?(corax White?)great tutorial!

[@TashiMortier]

Oh no... they don't make glazes anymore. :( Do you think the Ultramarines Blue Contrast could be a replacement? Maybe thinned with Contrast Medium?

[@TashiMortier]

I just found this, this could be helpful for others. A comment said it worked. Lamenters Yellow: Vallejo Game Ink Yellow : Water - 1 : 2 WayWatcher Green: Vallejo Game Ink Green : Vallejo Game Ink Yellow : Water - 3 : 2 : 10 Bloodletter Red: Vallejo Game Ink Red : Vallejo Game Ink Yellow : Water - 4 : 1 : 10 Guilleman Blue: Vallejo Game Ink Blue : Vallejo Game Ink Red : Water - 6 : 1 : 14 (But more blue and more water could do the trick even better)

[@TashiMortier]

Talassar Blue + Contrast Medium (1:3 iirc) results in a near-match to Guilliman Blue.

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

That'll do it!

[@Salty_Sassenach]

Grabby & Stabby!!! There are 4 main parts to a sword which are Blade, Guard, Hilt & Pommel. 5 parts if you count the tang. Also there is the Tip, Edge, Flat, Back, Fuller, Ricasso on some swords & Shoulder. hahahaha Just saying 😀

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

I never had much aptitude for swords, honestly. It's been most informative guessing and seeing what people fill me in with! 😂

[@Salty_Sassenach]

@@SonicSledgehammerStudio I didn't know either until you said Grabby & Stabby, then I looked it up. 😀

[@DarkterminatorII]

Witch base do you use in the beginng?

[@marcellocolombarini1653]

Cool👍🏻

[@MrSphinchee]

Oh! You could have made her a ghost bride with the Vail and wedding dress.

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

I've seen some really neat paint jobs in that theme, too. :) There's a surprising amount you can do with the miniatures as they come out of the box, it's really down to taste.

[@club882]

Bruh I saw that gigantic mold line...
