How To Paint Stormtroopers: Fantasy Flight Games Star Wars Legion Tutorial

[@timothybeebe6382]

Pin washing makes so much more sense then the tutorials I have watched where they slather on the wash

[@PeteTheWargamer]

I thought the same thing, unless of couse you're going for a battle damaged Stormtrooper.

[@Gothead420]

Thanx for sharing all those mixing-techniques, looks awesome!

[@christopherthompson4026]

Dang dude! That trooper is gorgeous!

[@PTheodorakis]

Great tutorial and the only one that I could find to capture their glossy armour! Any chance you can do a Darth Vader painting tutorial please?

[@WyoLars]

This is the best method ive seen so far! Will be trying this.

[@hobbithubby5076]

Was all of this done using a wet palette as well?

[@zayedazam2296]

Can you do a tutorial for Khador in warmachine? (Any unit)

[@PeteTheWargamer]

I've never really got into Warmachine but I'll keep them in mind :)

[@rileyboyle5968]

Could you do a tutorial on warmachine protectorate of menoth exemplar cinerators

[@tomryan3768]

looking forward to your Rebels paint scheme

[@PeteTheWargamer]

In progress!

[@tomryan3768]

ready yet? :)

I seem to be having trouble getting a solid coat for some army painter colors. It took me many layers for certain colors especially reds. May I ask about how many layers of Fire Lizard did you use before you got an opaque coat?

[@PeteTheWargamer]

I did about three layers in total. It sounds like the pigment and medium may have become separated in the pot. You sometimes have to give them a really good shake otherwise its just medium with tiny bit of paint in it.

[@johnkelley9877]

It looks really good!

[@Critical677]

Cool video! Two questions: a flow aid would be something like lamian medium right? And secondly: can you use army painter quickwash with washes from citadel too? Or is the composition too different? Thank you!

[@PeteTheWargamer]

So acrylic paint consists of two parts, a resin medium and a pigment so Lahmian Medium and Mediums in general are basically just pigment-less acrylic paint. When you mix them in with regular paint you reduce the concentration of the pigment without changing the viscosity of the the paint itself. Flow aids and 'wet water' are different and will dilute the whole mixture and reduce the viscosity and surface tension of the paint. Essentially making it runnier as well as reducing the pigmentation. Finally, yes the Army Painter Inks and the GW washes are mostly the same kind of thing. Although I would say that the AP quick shades are a little stronger.

[@Critical677]

The War Gamer thank you! Any flow aids or wet water that you would recommend? Maybe that can be a video: using flow aid for shadowing or thinning paints and lamin medium to have more control for highlighting. :)

[@IDICBeer]

Great job

[@Wallack]

Love your videos and I finally saw your face!

[@PeteTheWargamer]

Hello!

[@athollmcnicoll256]

Presume this technique could be used on White Scar Marines in 40K?

[@PeteTheWargamer]

Yep!

[@PurrfectBlinky]

Jist of the video: Regular water is not wet...

[@PeteTheWargamer]

Without wisdom who will wonder what's wet.
