How to Paint: Iliatha Vanari Dawnrider.

[@wilburwhateley2035]

I've never painted a miniature in my life and yesterday I subbed to the DRPA. I have a sickness, and the only medicine is watching Duncan paint the tiny men.

[@LoftOfTheUniverse]

I never thought I'd paint minis. I enjoyed watching people bring minis to life by painting them. I'm now 1000 points painted of craftworld Eldar. I love it.

Hi Duncan, a quick request from a deaf fan. Can you turn the CC subtitles on for your videos?

[@GoingOffTopical]

that white armour looks Ice cold, make sure to stay warm in battle with 2 thin coats

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

Sure! 😊

[@alpharius2802]

Duncan is basically the bob ross of Warhammer fantasy and sci fi and miniature painting it’s truly a honour to watch

[@pancakemogul]

Inclusion of the brush used is a great idea.

[@JakeDogg-RIP]

I really like that he can use the army painter stuff now, especially the wet palette in other videos, much better habits for ppl than just using gw/citadel stuff... not that they’re bad products, but it just lets new painters know they can use whatever is available to them

[@RufusKyura]

@@JakeDogg-RIP GW/Citadel products are not bad, just overpriced and some lack the convenience of other brands (like, say, the pot the paints come in) to make you spend more.

[@samsowden]

@@RufusKyura selling throwaway paper palettes that absorb water from paint was a genius genius idea

[@javiertalay]

I just found your channel and as a somewhat experienced painter I absolutely love it, this is about the level of complexity I was willing to jump next. Also, I absolutely love your voice, it's so calm and relaxing. I could listen all day

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

Glad you enjoy it!😊

[@CyberDagger003]

I often have one of Duncan's tutorials playing when I'm painting my stuff. Duncan's voice is pure ASMR.

[@earnurelda4125]

I have no words to describe how magnificent this tutorial was, and how awesome looks the Vanari Rider after his finish. I'm using the Syar colours for my army, but this is asthonishing as well.

[@davidgpeterson]

First of all, that might be the most amazing miniature I’ve ever seen. You’ve shown us so many incredible examples of how to paint things, but I think this is your best work that I’ve seen. Truly brilliant.

[@davidvargas7624]

This is beyond gorgeous, magnificent work as always Duncan !

[@CrimsonTemplar2]

Best white armor tutorial ever.

[@hojocollider5276]

This video helped me so much with the white armor I wanted for my Realm Lords. I decided to sign up for the website membership after watching this video. It has really helped me a lot, and I highly recommend a membership to anyone who wants some pro painting tutorials. Thanks a lot Duncan, my Aelves are looking fantastic!

[@litrik62110]

I was searching a cool and easy technic to paint white armors. I found it ! Thanks a lot, Master Duncan !

[@Suomismg]

Finally, another video to fill my mind with sweet succulent sounds as I paint.

[@lukmasterjr]

Decided to finally get into Age of Sigmar, while we have quarantine going, and wanted to start a Lumineth Iliatha army, this is really going to help. Glad I remembered you did this one. Belated thank you, I hope mine look at least half as good as yours!

[@MountainScottsman]

I really appreciate what you and your team do. I have learned so much from you, I thank the Emperor daily for your efforts.

[@ahmokable]

You Sir are the Bob Ross of miniature painting! Great Video!

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

Wow, thanks!

[@BAGHEAD1995]

Superb tutorial as always. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and talent. Cheers man!.

[@granander]

Simple steps... but alot of them... and the result is stunning! Thank you for sharing!

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

You are so welcome!

[@oldben5363]

So awesome to see you keep going and make your own business man, if I could throw my two cents, have you considered doing a.. "welcome to Mini painting" guide? Trying to figure it all out without a good guide when I got into it made me buy too much unneeded stuff that's just collecting dust. Either way, love your work and keep on rocking man.

[@tylerhaynie8507]

Goobertown hobbies has a really good intro to painting video that I used. It is a bit outdated though, so a new one from Duncan would be nice.

[@OnboardG1]

I’m a pretty experienced painter at this point, Duncan’s vids helped me get back into the hobby years ago. I now regularly paint in more advanced styles, but I always come back to Duncan (and sub to DPRA) because when I want to get minis onto the Battlefield fairly quickly and looking good, Duncan always has the best tips!

[@RedCometNurse]

I love your guides, Duncan. I am going to be painting my Lumineth as Iliatha. This guide is going to be an immense help.

[@Whorabl3]

Well done. This mini is absolutely fantastic and I'll be likely using the horse scheme for my VDRs!

[@amedeus40k]

Awesome as always Duncan. Thank you! Also wanted to give you a shout for your performance on “Does it Roll”. You did an amazing job, and really added to the flavor of the game! Well done!

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@johnkelley9877]

It looks fantastic! I learned a lot from this tutorial and I am impressed with how good the finished model looks. Thanks for taking this time and effort to make this tutorial.

Two light sniffs.

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

Welcome 😊

[@Michaelkayslay]

That is a beautiful model, and better painted, well done handsome boy

[@Djehuty99]

Well Duncan, I've watched a lot of how to paint for Lumineth and I liked your scheme and guide most by far. I'm still undecided which of the schemes to go for, but this one is close to the top. Great guide, earned a sub from me :)

[@Machnarl]

Had to go buy the Vanari Dawnrider set - even though I don't play Warhammer any more. This video is absolutely awesome!

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

Wow, thanks Machnarl. Glad it helped inspire you a bit.

[@bumblesquirt865]

Stunning work Duncan!

[@wilmaaiakraulen148]

Hey Duncan, could you please do a tutorial for your House Griffith Imperial Knights army? I‘d love to see you paint a bigger model and i absolutely love the colour scheme

[@jonathanadamski]

Great video. Keep it up. Great to see you still producing content.

I love these they are outstanding models with great detail, I dont play Warhammer but these look stunning Duncan

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

Thank you kindly Steven.

[@Kerath]

Better method than the one posted on the official Warhammer channel in my humble opinion.

[@Carllizard]

I seen Duncan at warhammer worlds once, i liked his top he was wearing so i said hey Duncan nice jacket mate! he replied “its not a jacket its two thin coats “

[@BigRed40TECH]

Thanks Duncan, this is great!

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

Our pleasure. Hope it helps 😊

[@BigRed40TECH]

@@DuncanRhodesDRPA Yea, I appreciate the help with the white especially. I apply a lot of what I learn here to other miniatures (I don't play AOS. It's not my bag). I also really appreciate how good you are at showing the consistency of the paint when its at the correct levels. I also hadn't seen that Bronze on display, and it's definitely making me switch from using Balthasar Gold in my mixup to get the Bronze I want for them. That's not anything involving painting technique, it's just the right colour of Bronze damn it. lol

[@mikespaintedminis5100]

This is beautiful 😍

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

Thank you. Its a fantastic model

[@mikoajpleskot6038]

@Duncan Rhodes Painting Academy Have You considered doing a video on to how to paint some older minatures. I mean new ones are fantastic and have lots of details, but older edditons of Warhammer and WH40k are a bit "rougher", so how to enhance them with painting? Keep up a good work and 2 thin coats :)

Hey duncan, could you paint night haunt next

Thank you , DRPA .

[@randomskaven8233]

Hi Duncan do you think you can do a vid on how to paint a freebooter ork not like a flashigit but like a ork boy as I can't find any solid schemes for them anywhere

[@jaelee1996]

I love your Warhammer tutorials ever since I started watching WarhammerTV to help paint my Imperial Guard army. Do you think you can do more historical figures like the legionary? Something like a dark age cavalry from Gripping Beast range or any from the Byzantine range? I think your style of painting can really bring to life the vibrant use of colour for Byzantine troops.

[@ascaro8977]

Please Duncan, give us a guide to to Zaitrec miniatures with contrast!!

[@zior92]

Can you make a Hot to paint something from the nighthaunt range? Would love to see!

[@bioneticgaming1644]

Would you be willing to do a video on how to paint a Napoleonic French imperial marine? They have a very unique uniform that I dint see much in models.

[@IIDave]

Can you tell us why you don’t use a wet palette Duncan? It seems all the mini painters on KZbin are recommending them nowadays.

[@LoftOfTheUniverse]

What sorcery did you do to get the white that smooth? Just water can't be true....

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

Thin coats 😊

[@brandonhopkins6754]

I have always wondered why you highlight reds and oranges with flesh tones?

[@raphsanta-santaminiatures978]

Great tutorial Duncan! 2 questions: 1) what color would you paint the gems? 2) do you have a tutorial for this base as well? Thanks!

[@Trazynn]

I tried this white armour recipe on a Stormcast but they're quite round and fiddly in certain parts and it doesn't look as good as on flat surfaces. What's a good way to get this same cold result but on Stormcast?

[@kampfeule5486]

Duncan have you ever thought about transfering your citadel pots to dropper bottles?

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

Never really crossed my mind tbh....

[@kampfeule5486]

@@DuncanRhodesDRPA all right. how are you keeping your citadel paints from clogging then?

[@mouseketeery]

@@kampfeule5486 Don't open the lid fully wide, there's no need to bend the lid right back. That way you don't get it dripping onto the rim or the hinge of the lid. I've never had the clogging thing that others complain of and, as the lids continue to close properly, the paint doesn't dry out..... or create a spectacular mess when you shake the pot!

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

@@kampfeule5486 A good shake (with the lid closed tight) or a stir with an old brush for paints with thick pigment. Sometimes, a ball bearing (416 stainless steel ). These have worked for me for many, many years 😊

[@w00k1nator2]

Can I prime the miniature black and apply a zenithal highlight and still get the same results?

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

Hi Matt. Unfortunately not. You're miniature will have a darker tone to it. 😊

[@emile1365]

Duncan, my droog. Any chance of a Blanchitsu-style painting guide in the future?

[@duhg599]

The instruction is top notch, but the white background during the close-ups interferes with clearly seeing the white model. What do you think of using a darker background when showcasing a lighter-colored mini?

[@paulshrimplin4032]

How many would you paint in a day, and how much would you charge per figure .

[@lucascrihfield4829]

Looks fantastic! How would you varnish this mini for use on the tabletop? I typically use a matt spray, but it really dulls down the metallic shine, which wouldn't be great for this armor.

[@davemorris7845]

God damn it Duncan, why you so nice!

[@jglant15]

Looking for clarification here. When layering and doing edge highlights, are we still doing 2 coats?

[@Phoenix-15]

I am planing on getting a new set of brushes. with brushes from gw or the armypainter should I get to have a good base set?

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

Hi lupus. We like to use the following as they are pretty good and affordable: 1. Army Painter Regiment Brush, detail brush and Monster brush. 2. From Citadel we like to use a medium Layer, Medium base, small layer and a drybrush (could use AP drybrushes too.) And if you have some money to invest in a brush, look for a Windsor Newton Series 7 for detail work. Oh, and don't forget to take care of your brushes and they will last you a long time 😊

[@Phoenix-15]

@@DuncanRhodesDRPA thank you. I'll see what I am able to get.

[@cinderheart2720]

Hey Duncan! I've noticed that my Nuln oil dries excessively shiny, almost as shiny as my Nuln oil gloss. Is this normal? It's gotten to the point where I'd rather thin down abbadon black or black templar rather than use Nuln oil.

[@MiniWarzone]

Apply a thin coat of matt varnish afterwards 👌

[@johnoneill3654]

Not sure if you've sorted this yourself but this also happened to me with my Nuln oil and I've found that an extreme shaking does the job. I'm talking paint mixer level here.

Hey Duncan. I absolutely loved this video and the colour scheme is fantastic. I'm going to use it on a Stormcast Eternal hero which will hopefully look good!
