How to Paint: Hallowed Knights - Stormcast Vindictors | Dominion

That yellow wash mixture over the silver is extremely kino 10/10 mate

[@ArtisOpus]

🥰👌

I'm working on painting a mini for a friend's son, and I had a similar color scheme in my head, then I found this. Perfect! This is probably my 5th mini to paint, so I'm super nervous, but these are some solid steps and are helping me immensely!

[@mikespaintedminis5100]

The blue that was added to the wash for the armour adds so much character 👌

[@ArtisOpus]

Yeah it does mate, all about the little tints and tricks!

[@LordMuzhy]

Mixing paint with your shades is insane 😮

[@Evohunter7]

I love dry brushing; it's so satisfying

[@ArtisOpus]

Couldn't agree more, you paint happily at peace... And then you have a badass model, what more could you want?!

[@TheWorkmonkey1]

Wow that blued armour is gorgeous!

[@ArtisOpus]

Thanks man, solid combo of colours between Kantor and teclis! The wash does a little work, too :)

[@squirrelsrage]

Awesome!!! Thank you. Very motivational. Now I have to try this recipe out.

[@ArtisOpus]

You'll love it man, it's such fun to do!

[@timmcmenamin1187]

Really outstanding. I do love your scheme for the gold and the scheme for the leather, I will be trying to incorporate these techniques.

[@ArtisOpus]

Amazing, Tim, you'll have loads of fun, and hopefully be surprised by the speed especially!

[@Garage_Hammer13]

I’d love to see your take on the Astral Templars colour scheme. Love the tutorials as ever. 🤩

[@ArtisOpus]

Thanks, Matt, we'll be doing a poll of the top voted ones previously requested in our community post, fingers crossed they made it! Having said that, I do love painting SCE, and we are definitely looking to build up a nice gallery of tutorials for them over time, regardless of what wins the vote :)

[@dave4deputyZX]

Excellent. Ok I've found my colour scheme, thanks!

[@ArtisOpus]

Yess! Enjoy dude, it's a very fun scheme to paint, sure you'll have a great time getting them prepped :)

[@peeledapples4176]

I've been using Nazdreg Yellow contrast over Leadbelcher to get a nice, rich, deep gold. It's how I paint my Stormcast and the trim on my marines.

[@lardidar-lewismoorby2702]

I just started stormcast and the tried this method over vallejo silver...very nice gold.

[@MrJoshuakirk85]

That is how I do the trim on my Iron Warriors. It's a great worn look.

Enjoy your content so much! I am officially starting my first ever AOS army, (any miniature army for that matter). Have everything built and primed but lost the nerve tonight to break open the newly acquired Artis Opus brush set and dive in. Maybe tomorrow. Thanks for all the tips and tricks.

[@ArtisOpus]

Wow Paul, you're going to have so much fun! Thanks very much for your support, let us know in any vids if there's anything you need any help with, YT isn't great for ongoing convo notifications :)

[@paulofreire7520]

Awesome, as usual. 👍🏻

[@ArtisOpus]

[@gizmomckopp1131]

This helped me a lot! I've applied this method on a Knight Hospitaller from Infinity. It gave me the result I was hoping for within moments and I actually finished the mini 95%. I immediately grabbed a Teutonic Knight and also nearly finished him. Drybrushing like this cured me of my painter's blockade, so thank you big time!

[@ArtisOpus]

Yesss! So glad to have been of assistance :). It is all about finding a technique that works for you, that you enjoy. Motivation is 90% of the battle, so whatever fuels it is the answer! Any questions just let us know in another comment, YT isn't great for ongoing convo notifications.

I really like this. I Bought my first sce and I was looking for good but easy paint scheme and this is great

[@Rock-dp4to]

Love the color scheme! I like how you breakdown each step in the process so it’s not that intimidating to try. Once you’ve completed the Stormcast in the Dominion box would love to see your take on a Soulblight army. A++++ job with this video!

[@ArtisOpus]

Thanks, man :). I actually have some stuff of my own from a while back, as well as the ones I did for the channel more recently, I love their aesthetic!

[@ProrokLebioda]

Really enjoying your video's, dry brushing really is a great and relatively simple way of getting incredible results. Are you planning on doing more AoS miniatures and have you done Yndrasta? Id love to see how youve done the wings.

[@RhysJenkins89]

Great work! Do you have any tips on painting metallics on T'au battlesuits?

[@michaelbrand1173]

Wow.... amazing

[@ArtisOpus]

[@paulmurphy7087]

I have also used snakebite leather (heavily diluted 1:8 with contrast medium) over silver for a lighter gold (1 or two thin coats to suit) then aged/weathered with reikland fleshtone. Using it on House Terryn Warglaves (baby Knights)

[@ArtisOpus]

Ahh, over metallics the shine wouldn't be an issue, I can 100% see that working!

[@Ben-zv7gd]

I absolutely wsnt to see it with streaking grime! I actually wondering how to paint mine but i really want a grimdark style

[@ArtisOpus]

Well, it's kind of 1 step grim-dark, so you could do something, maybe just put a bit more paint in the wash stages, not make it so shiny, then streaking grime the lot, and add blood?

[@conormurphy6458]

Can I just say I called the gold wash in the last video 😋

[@ArtisOpus]

[@mmartinez9342]

I have a question regarding the texture pallet, does it have to be primed? And do you just keep priming over what you've done previously?

[@ArtisOpus]

It doesn't have to be, I do re-prime mine occasionally though, often between projects, to make sure that they just have what's relevant to what I'm painting (I've kept ones for certain armies in the past, too :))

[@mmartinez9342]

[@DCAMM720]

Are Stormcast kind of like Space Marines? As in if I paint them this way are there special rules for it or purely aesthetics?

[@ArtisOpus]

There are sub-faction type stormchambers, some have rules and some don't, but,.especially in AOS it's common yo just do whatever you think looks coolest, not worrying about rules

[@lanesteele240]

As ever. Top phrase used by British painters

[@dave4deputyZX]

Hey man, I've already primed my guys white. Would you be able to recommend any variation to the above to reflect that? Thanks!

[@TheSeekingOne]

Hi! Thank you for your awesome tutorials 🙏 I'd like to make a suggestion if I may: could you make a couple of videos showing how to tackle Craftworld Eldar and Drukhari using your techniques? These factions seem to be totally neglected at this point! 🙂 thank you in advance

[@ArtisOpus]

Hey man, I'd approach it exactly like our imperial knight video, check it out and let us know there if you've got any specifics (probably wouldn't streaking grime them, but up until that point it should be perfect :))

Hmmmmm so I primed my mini's with Army Painter Platemail. Should I re-prime black or just roll with it following your guide. I really love the non-gold golds! Looks awesome!

[@ArtisOpus]

Mhhm, I'd prefer black, but you could just wash twice, then rock on with the drybrushing (you may need to make the wash a little stronger with paint). Good luck, let us know how it goes :)

[@rottenreason35]

@@ArtisOpus First off good luck on your army build. Hopefully you'll have it done before your tournament. I layered on Nuln oil to bring that silver down and used the silver mixed with blue/indigo blue. I am impressed with how well it turned out. Looking forward to seeing how you do the Banner for the Vindicators Celestial Vindicators, Hallowed Knights and the Knight Vexillor banner. Do the products you sell come with "how to use" instructions? I like the dampening pad and the mat.

[@Peterjameslewis69]

Any chance of a bronze/copper tutorial with the d series please? I seem to be struggling with the colour modulation for them, Cheers :)

[@ArtisOpus]

We'll definitely do it at some point in the future, I need to work out whether there is a different method, or if it is just doing gold, and washing it differently :D

[@spagwag3079]

I'm using citadel stormhost silver, which I think is a bit more glittery than the one you use.

[@ArtisOpus]

Could well be mate, maybe less fine pigments?

Do you drybrush silver after every step? Your edges seem shinier than mine

[@ArtisOpus]

Can do :), are you using the same silver? Let me know in another comment, YT is awful for conversation notifications, I miss a lot of replies to replies.

[@michaelspitz9151]

What’s that wierd sponge thingie you used at the beginning , not the brush the thing in the cup?

[@ArtisOpus]

It's our dampening pad, plenty of info here, and in a lot of our other tutorials, it introduces a small amount of moisture to increase quality, smoothness, and protect brushes: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oanYimWEjcp8aK8

[@bezzy8257]

Just a heads up, in the paint list you say that huldra blue is citadel paints instead of scale 75... Thanks for the tutorial though, great as always

[@ArtisOpus]

Cheers dude! Woops! Glad you liked it 👍

[@Jake5762]

Will you be doing a Bastian Cathalos paint job once he's released? I'd love to see your version!

[@ArtisOpus]

I'd be inclined to just pick a stormcast scheme like the ones we've done tutorials for, and approach him like that, cool model though!

[@derekadler2997]

Love the look i got close to yours but i don't have all the paint

[@ArtisOpus]

Good stuff dude, method over recipe! 👏

[@spagwag3079]

how would you make it brighter? I'm going to try a more silvery colour, and was thinking of thinning down teclis blue with laminar medium to create a light blue gloss/ wash. Do you think this would work? or should I buy some Drakenhof to shade with also why did you mix nuln + black + blue, rather than using Drakenhoff for that step? Just preference of colour? I find drakenhof to be a tad too dark somtimes.

[@ArtisOpus]

Teclis blue with a little medium should work fine dude, you can always mix it with a wash if you prefer the colour. Preference and cohesion, they're already in the paint job, so it helps the wash out a lot, even matters less when you screw up, so higher quality and more forgiving:)

[@froghugger41]

Can the model colour silver be subbed in for game air silver or is there something specific about the game air silver that has a better behaviour?

[@ArtisOpus]

Absolutely dude, just take a little care if it's brand new, as they start fairly 'wet' (don't mop your brush with loads of wet paint!).

[@georgesykes181]

This is going to be my new painting scheme for stormcast, thankyou so much :). I am curious even though I won't do it, what do you think that gold wash over silver would look like over the majority of armour, such as the hammers of sigmar style?

[@ArtisOpus]

Can be fine mate, can even involve purple washes/constrasts etc, and it looks insane

[@JayzusKhrist]

Do you think this technique would work if I were to finish the armor with a contrast paint through the airbrush to give it a colour tint?

[@ArtisOpus]

Hey man, absolutely, you'll perhaps miss a bit of the depth, but you'll gain some consistency, remember you can use a varnish at the end too (conveniently through the airbrush) if it knocks back the sheen too much for you :). Let us know how it goes!

[@perche26]

after watching all your videos about gold, what technique would you use to paint a mini like a rogal dorn, silver + wash, gold + wash like with the vampire or the technique you used with the stormcast?

Difficult question, Miguel! I think a big old mix, maybe starting gold, highlighting silver, then washing for depth :)
