OH MY GOD!!! You are no idea how long I have been looking for this exact paint scheme….

[@BrushstrokePaintingGuides]

Excellent, I’m really glad you found it 🙂 Please let me know how you get on

[@Farrem]

Loved the guide man, really helpful. Cheers!

[@BrushstrokePaintingGuides]

Thanks for watching Glad it was useful 👍

[@andrewkennedy9134]

Cracking good paint job. I really like thd plume and the golds in particular.

[@BrushstrokePaintingGuides]

Thanks It’s one of those colour schemes where you can take colours like the gold and turquoise and use on loads of different models for sure

[@ramen6124]

man i love your paintstyle dude, its like the citadel parade ready system but perfected

[@BrushstrokePaintingGuides]

Thank you, much appreciated

[@thecalvatron1955]

Wow, this is really something else. I've been trying to find a decent guide for this colour scheme and you really nailed it. Using the Contrast paint as a wash and then glazing it using a Shade paint was a great technique that I'll definitely be using from now on.

Fantastic guide! I am terrified however of applying the Nuln Oil considering fits changed recently.

Most Excellent! Keep up the quality work …. And more AoS!

Thanks 🤛🏻

[@j453]

I enjoyed it! I hit all the buttons too! Please do more Age of Sigmar stuff, would love to see more stuff from the dominion box if you have it, if not anything is great👍 Thanks for the great vid, also thank you for not speeding up the footage. So many people speed up their brush stroke footage, seeing it in real time was nice. It really shows how careful and precise you need to be as you paint. Thanks again 👍

[@BrushstrokePaintingGuides]

Thank you! Really glad you enjoyed the video and thanks so much for the sub, much appreciated. I do have some more AoS content planned for sure. I do try and make videos which will have colour recipes and ideas which will work across all gaming systems... for example, I'm doing a Thousand Sons video at the moment which has a lovely gold recipe which would look amazing on Stormcast. I'm especially glad to hear you like seeing the painting in real time. I agonise over how much to show as I dont want to bore people with watching paint dry but still want to give a reasonable idea of how I apply my paints. As you can see I try and go for a balance :) Have fun painting Brushstroke

[@j453]

@@BrushstrokePaintingGuides you did great👍 I'll check out some more stuff and I look forward to that thousand sons vid

Fin de la campagne De fin de version avec les événement en magasin le 22 juin… donc fortement probable que les précommandes arrivent à ce moment là 😉

[@rustedbeetle]

My Dominion Stormcast are still on sprue. I don't like gold as a color and I keep looking for different schemes for the Stormcast models. I don't play, but I like the minis; I just haven't found the right color, but that plum is striking.

[@swiip100]

I can see the work you put into it! Try to get the camera to focus more on the miniature tho, often its a bit blurry. Still a very good tutorial!

[@BrushstrokePaintingGuides]

Thank you Apologies for the focus issues in places. The long spear arm played havoc with my camera. I did the best with the footage I had. Once it’s painted and recorded it’s really hard to do redos. Camera work and filming is an area I’m trying to improve on, so I do accept the feedback completely 🙂

[@swiip100]

@@BrushstrokePaintingGuides Naturally that your first videos are gonna have some issues. The editting and visuals more than make up for it!

[@BrushstrokePaintingGuides]

Cheers man. This filming lark is like a whole new hobby on its own. KZbinrs have gotten so great at making videos it’s set the bar really high for people trying to start out. Appreciate you not just giving it a thumbs down and commenting though, helps me know what to concentrate on for next time

Awesome video, great paint scheme. I'll be painting my storm casts from the dominion box like this! Any chance you could do a basing tutorial on how you based this guy? It looks fantastic!

[@BrushstrokePaintingGuides]

Thank you, really glad you enjoyed the video and will be giving it a go. Be sure and let me know how you get on. Yeah, I can do a guide on these bases, I have to make a stack more for the rest of my Dominion box, so I’ll film me making one 👍🏻

[@bigbadbrenners]

@@BrushstrokePaintingGuides brilliant! I'll be looking forward to it.

[@yoqithebear1]

Still hoping for that video on thinning your paints i struggle

[@Leviathan8509]

More AoS, please. Something organic looking like Nurgle would be great.

[@BrushstrokePaintingGuides]

Organic? Yeah, good thinking.... I don't have any Nurgle I'm afraid but I do have some really cool Daughters of Khaine I've been meaning to paint up for a while. They could be a good shout

[@BlakeSHA]

On one of your twitter or insta posts you had another of the Stormcasts painted with the cape. Looking at painting some of my other Stormcasts and was wondering what your recommendation would be for the capes, peurges and scabbards that match well with this colour scheme.

[@BrushstrokePaintingGuides]

For cloaks I just went with the same turquoise recipe I used here for the plume with a dark cream lining. Which, I think was morghast bone with an Army Painter Light tone wash But any cream / bone recipe you like should work fine. For details like scabbards etc I just kept them simple and went black with grey highlights, like in the video. Hope that helps? Please do send some pics of how you get on 👍🏻

[@nicolasduboscq9156]

Really thx for this tutorial 😊 Were you able to put the head back on the body without disassembling thé body ? How did you manage ?

[@BrushstrokePaintingGuides]

Thank you, really glad you enjoyed it. The heads in the Dominion boxset are a bit annoying, as they have pegs on. I ended up cutting the peg off and tested how it needed to fit before I glued the body together. I took pics of how the head should look. So when I came to add the painted head back on I knew how it should fit etc

[@KillyBones]

What golds and silver metallic colors would you recommend.. trying to broaden my horizons and try other something other the the GW colors ? .. painting Grey Knights

[@BrushstrokePaintingGuides]

I’m a big fan of Darkstar molten metallics. Well worth getting some of those, I’ll take a look at Grey Knights and see which ones would be a good place to start

[@KillyBones]

@@BrushstrokePaintingGuides I have been looking at some of the Vallejo paints and scale 75 ? Also amazing job on the Templar I love the color scheme 🤩

[@sonicbear13]

Any extra tips for getting the nuln oil wash to look like yours? My 1st attempt had gone too dark, patchy and looks shiny, whereas here you have a clean, matt finish look. Should I dilute it, or is it just I used too much? Ant help appreciated

[@BrushstrokePaintingGuides]

The next video in my fundamentals series is planned to be a video on applying washes. I've not started filming it just yet so it is still a way off yet. So, to answer your questions here. If you find the wash is going on too dark you could dilute it, but you need to make sure you only dilute it with lahmian medium. This it to ensure the wash dilutes evenly and doesnt separate, which is something that can happen if you thin washes with water. The patchy bit is probably just down to practice, as it takes some getting used to applying an even coverage. Try and apply to small areas at a time, as trying to do too big an area can result areas starting to dry before you've finished and as a result you can run your brush through those areas and it can make it blotchy and messy. It could also be because the wash is too thick or not shaken enough and is therefore not drying evenly. Finally, in terms of drying shiny. First check you dont have a Gloss nuln oil. The gloss version is meant for shading metallics and is meant to stay shiny when dry. If it's not the gloss version, it is probably not shaken enough. If after a good shake it is still drying glossy, you can apply a thin layer of lahmian medium (which has a matt finish) and that will reduce the shiny Hope that helps

[@sonicbear13]

@@BrushstrokePaintingGuides amazing thank you so much for the detailed reply! A lot to consider so definitely looking forward to your next fundamentals video. I will have another pop on a new model and let you know! Thanks again

[@ndewingful]

Looks great!! One question I have is, when you're doing the edge highlighting are you adding any sort of drying retardant to prevent your brush from drying out too quickly? Or is the water enough when you've thinned it down?

[@BrushstrokePaintingGuides]

Thanks No, not using any retardant. Just water on a wet palette. I’m lucky it’s not very hot here at the moment and I tend to paint at night so drying on the brush isn’t too much of a problem. If you’re somewhere hotter, just keep an eye on your paint and make sure you keep your brush bristles moist before adding the paint to the brush

[@wesbrown3831]

I like your presentation... great step by step process... my tv makes it look more red than a purple. Uummm... soft tone is not GW, it was AP... im sure u were on a roll...lol Cheers!

[@BrushstrokePaintingGuides]

Thanks man. The finished tone in person is a dark pink / purple. I can see how it could look more red on some screens though. It looks very striking on the tabletop though. Haha, yeah… I didn’t notice that slip up until id already posted the vid unfortunately. Get so used to saying Games Workshop, my mouth goes on auto pilot. Luckily I show the bottle, so hopefully people won’t be too confused Thanks for checking out my channel 👍🏻

A question if i may....do you varnish your models for durability when handling or are these mainly display or just for the painting side of the hobby?

[@BrushstrokePaintingGuides]

Hi, yes I do varnish all my minis when finished. I don’t get as much time as I’d like to game unfortunately, so they mostly spend time on the shelf but I like them to be able to stand up to use when needed. I like to use a matte varnish and my go to is Testors Dullcote. Hope that helps 👍🏻

[@andrewkennedy9134]

@@BrushstrokePaintingGuides Thats great thanks....I know the feeling between real life time limits and covid, gaming is low down the list. I havent tried testors dullcoat before, however any time i have tried to source it, its been unavailable...typical.

[@BrushstrokePaintingGuides]

I know right? Really hoping next year will be better and will be able to make some events again I think Dullcote have been hit with supply problems due to COVID etc I’ve heard a few people have struggled recently. I might try a few other brands out to see if there’s another option I can recommend to people who are struggling.
