What I like about Cult of Paint is that you never use clickbaity titles and / or thumbnails. Just a clear title and a picture of the finished product. Nice!

[@weskandel]

Yes, more leagues of votann would be appreciated :-). Great paint job on these!

[@maxbrandt6]

They look awesome! Good and grungy and action ready, I'm really starting to take a shine to these Votann guys!

[@ndperseo7136]

I must have watched this video 20 times now. Fantastic looking paintjob and really refreshing to see a Warhammer modeler make use of all the great techniques and art mediums we have available.

[@notnubilous3804]

Great job Henry. Is anyone else enamored by the font/design choice they used for their transfers too? Gives them a really cyberpunk feel.

[@cultofpaint]

There's so many signs that the design work on this faction was really thought out.

[@GladiatUnispect]

Amazing work, thank you for the ideas and techniques

[@DaHobbles]

Loved the video and that new oil filter/smudging tech that you showcased 🙌🏻

[@RedAftershock20]

Really fantastic paint scheme, and incredibly well executed - thanks for doing these. Your voice also is very relaxing to listen to, which after a busy day at work, is a bonus!

[@officenomad88]

Killing it as normal Henry! Gorgeous stuff!

[@NYIKAZENO]

Great session! I love the final look, and I look how you incorporated Oil and Acrylics to get a very unique look. I cant wait to give the it a try!

[@Xaryiproduction]

I am in love with them, amazing job

[@alliga91]

Perfection. The coolest approach with Warhammer40k.

[@RandProductions45]

That splotching technique with the different colors on a panel, REALLY cool and impressive! I may have to incorporate that into my own painting regiment.

[@slymarbo7613]

Definitely enjoyed seeing a grittier take on the orange, this is the perfect mix of weathered but still colourful. It'd be fun to see a grittier side to the other leagues if you have them in you. Nice job!

[@asmol7836]

Let's go !!! - Great work homie 👍👏

[@Freddy_MC1R]

These look so good Bro!

[@MikePhumanaut]

I love the technique with the oil paints. I want to do that with entire armies. Right now I use that style as a filter of sorts, it's quite satisfying to paint that way for some reason. I love just taking a small dab of paint and being able to work with it for so long on the model!

[@wideboyrob]

Really like how you've tied the scheme and weathering in with the sub faction background. If you don't do many vids on these I'd be cool to see your army take shape in some photos - rank em up in front of those vehicles 👌

[@maxbrooks5468]

God those metallic paints look great on the visors! Great job!

[@SPINDANGLE]

I agree they look awesome.

[@Nada-Mal]

Phenomenal job! I haven’t decided on a scheme for my LoV’ies yet, but I’m leaning toward an 80’s metal, big hair stadium rock vibrant neon scheme.

[@ecMonify]

they look absolutely amazing! :) i reckon your Raptors colour scheme would look really good on these guys as well. the combination of orange and green (as seen on the Raptors too, though inverted :P) is so pleasing to look at, and quite rare it seems :P great video as usual!

[@therickspears]

Amazing, Henry. Love the combination of oils, acrylics and enamels. Would also love to see your take on Genestealer Cult, now that you mentioned them. They’re my primary 40K army, and with all the cloth, armor and leather, it would be super cool project to see your take on!

[@jakublhotan9029]

The best LoV video. As always 😊

[@ecstacyofgold86]

I just love watching these videos, even if I only play one army. There's always some good tips and techniques to learn

[@cultofpaint]

That's great to hear, thanks for watching

[@mattjagger4360]

More schemes. More! Great models, really good scheme great tips. Other schemes would be great but also the same scheme on other models in the legues of voton range would be great.

[@mcintyreseamus]

Brilliant video Henry. 👌🏻

[@cultofpaint]

Thanks Seamus

[@babyhuey6342]

Just discovered the channel. Really enjoyed several videos that have given me some great ideas, but I have to say one of my favorite things about them is how often you show the figures before and after each step. A lot of washes and highlights are quite subtle on their own, so seeing exactly the difference each step makes is really cool and very educational for an inexperienced painter like me. Super helpful and not as common as it should be.

[@cultofpaint]

Welcome aboard!

[@iannordin5250]

The orange armor looks so much better. In fact a lot of alternate colorschemes look better than the "official" model

[@Dragonage2ftw]

I’ve said this many times. I think making the Teal and White the poster boy color scheme was a mistake-they’re not bad, but literally almost every other color scheme looks better.

[@SweetbabyincmtL]

I want to paint mine in a COG gears of war style

[@tekaraethomas6617]

@@SweetbabyincmtL I had the same idea

[@ashleynewman4633]

These look great! I’d love to see some of the other schemes? The black and yellow one looks interesting, I’d love to see your take on them.

[@BowlingRat]

So thrilled to have found your Chanel! For someone who is getting back into 40k and is equally as excited for Leagues of Votann, coming across your Chanel has been the emperors blessing! Can't wait to follow your progress, on what seems to be our passion project of dwarves in spaaaaaaaze! I would love to see you paint the other League Factions in your grim dark style! If I were able to pick which one you would do next, I would love to see the Urani-Surtr Regulates! This whom I've chosen 😅 this was instant sub for me to the channel! And of course, absolutely 💯 incredible 👏 paint job!

[@cultofpaint]

Enjoy painting your space dwarfs!!

[@timobecker6718]

Thanks for sharing! Would love to see some the other variations too. But also any further progress!

[@cultofpaint]

I reckon I’m gonna be painting small angry space men for a while.

[@jakublhotan9029]

Love it !

Great job on that votann, hope to keep seeing your good work

[@cultofpaint]

Thanks very much.

Damn this colour scheme is incredible looking!

[@adamgould5691]

Absolutely want to see more League content

[@Chrono0000000]

Loved your orange on this, I'm looking to get to a similar tone, but I haven't tried anything other than acrylic paints yet

[@DrDleith]

Vehicles in this scheme are going to look amazing too. This is getting me more hyped for these revamped Squats - cheers!

[@cultofpaint]

Really looking forward to getting my mitts on one of the buggies

[@Kruudelis]

The colour scheme really reminds me of Moebius, strangely. Love the result!

[@relleos16]

Please do more schemes! This was amazing!

[@dupeesfashionconsultant4204]

I see you have that x-acto knife scar exactly where mine is lol. This army looks incredible great job as always

[@TheDude_Jonathan]

Thank goodness these are sold out, this video would have me buying them! It's a fantastic job Henry, like yourself I wasn't sold but I find that a lot of the time you can't really tell about a mini/sculpt until you see it in a video like this where you see all angles and detail. Obviously an incredible paint job doesn't hurt either 😁 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🖖🏻

[@cultofpaint]

Honestly mate the normal squad sprue is amazing

[@ashleyculver5343]

I think the reason I like this colour scheme so much is that it reminds me of 1970s scifi stuff. Subdued and realistic. Cheers for the video.

[@cultofpaint]

Thanks for watching. They’ve got a pretty strong retro sci-fi vibe haven’t they.

[@leemcalister4125]

Awesome

[@KimHarderFog]

Great grungy result

[@cultofpaint]

Thanks Kim

[@BigMikeMcBastard]

Looks fantastic. Really digging the LoV even though I'm not a tabletop player anymore so haven't a clue about its balance there. Cloned sort of cyberpunk corporate-ish troopers is an awesome vibe, anyway.

[@AL-jo6wh]

Great video Henry, The colour scheme is great a real gritty scheme. Oils, enamels, solvent and acrylic based paints on a figure what's not to like

[@cultofpaint]

Thanks mate!

[@RosiePosie-el3lj]

Bestie you gotta cover that cut on your finger, had me wincing every time you pulled out the air brush

[@gambit1001]

hey superb video! not only the content, like your likes and dislikes, but I specifically appreciate that you elaborated on the airbrush mix, nozzle and psi. As a beginner I find it to be a good reference! thanks for showing the steps in such detail, and the tools you use!

[@cultofpaint]

Thanks Marc, and good luck with the airbrushing.

Very cool take on the orange, USRS next!

[@wilsun3638]

Love the way these came out, would be great to see the greater thurian league!

I really thought they would be the most popular, but I've not seen many takes other than GWs so far.

[@wilsun3638]

@@cultofpaint Yeah that is a bit of a shock, I think that blue colour is really pleasing and it's quite industrial with that off white. Great looking scheme imo.

‘Iridescent’ lenses? Not sure if someone else has said it but I thought that’s the world that didn’t spring to mind when you were talking about ski goggles. Looks great. Hope to see the full force if/when you get around to it.

[@matthewgill1238]

awesome vid, where is that intro from? Iv actually started a space wolf army, first army iv dabbled with since a wee lad (around 20 years ago). Been following your tutorial, thanks.

[@robnancekivell2202]

I'd argue that Squats are one of the armies that were never Grimdark. They never got a second edition codex and certainly weren't around when the age of Grimdark started proper with third edition. Which makes this video even more exciting.

[@sdws91]

Amazing work .please show us red / white / black and teal / white / black.

[@cultofpaint]

Haha ok

[@yuribroda]

Love this technique, looks great! How long do you need to leave the oil paint to dry/cure after “smooshing” but before painting the white shoulder stripes?

[@cultofpaint]

I left it maybe 30 mins. I did it, went and had a cup of tea, came back, hairdryer for a minute and then carried on.

[@endymionm1374]

Awesome video! any plans to do the other leagues?

[@cultofpaint]

Thanks, if there’s the demand then sure.

more please!]

[@ghazevedo]

Henry: I like my dwarves with beard. Paints three dwarves with helmet on hehe 😆

[@cultofpaint]

I can assure there is a fully painted bearded head under each of those helmets!

[@jamesfrederick5658]

How would you recommend about doing a similar technique for the armour with the oils but for ending up with a red colour? Any oil paint suggestions/tones? Or just doing a dark, mid and light tone again without going too pink?

[@cultofpaint]

no specific ones, just avoid mixing in white and you'll avoid the pink

[@codelicious6590]

Oh I love their little booties!!

[@alexkorovesis116]

How do you touch up the orange armor? It's difficult to avoid getting some black on the orange especially in tight areas. I've considered doing the black before doing the oil paints.

[@cultofpaint]

It can be, but with the heavy weathering its easy to cover up, just chip a little brown over it.

[@wollswayne]

Would you ever consider a tutorial using the airbrush on smaller models such as the genestealer cults? There's so many models to get through for an army I'd love to see you come up with a quick method to get them on the tabletop!

[@cultofpaint]

I would love to do some GSC

I love the votann so much, they’re genuinely my favourite faction now. I was gonna do my own colour scheme but then I saw more of the Hyperion scheme and I had to switch, can’t wait to start! Would love to see all the models you paint for this tbh, especially the vehicles. They seem to be grey/black for the alliance, so I’d like to see your take

[@cultofpaint]

I hope to add each new kit as it comes

[@andrevanas85]

i was set on going orange, then i saw that everyone is going either full orange or white with orange :P

[@jots083]

Love the scheme. If I wanted to use it but slightly red shift the orange, do you have paints you'd recommend with this process? I really want to get them to a midway point between red and orange

[@cultofpaint]

No specific ones id recommend. Id just grab a red and then skip the lightest one from this set

[@jots083]

@@cultofpaint thank you!

[@NightWolf1982pl]

gota question for you, after using oils liek you did, I use flat brash dump with mineral spirits till it's almoust dry, but it leaves many brush marks after smoothing things. I haven't seen mark after you did it. Am i doing something wrong here?

[@cultofpaint]

It’s hard to know without seeing the brush you use etc. the brush that I use has a lot of bristles and is very soft. But I do get very faint lines, which I like.

[@bluknight99]

Awesome job! Gonna have to try to talk the wife into letting me get some space dwarves! Question: What do you think of Pro Acryl paints? I was thinking of getting a set of those to try as an alternative to Citadel.

[@cultofpaint]

The ones I've used are decent paints. Grab a couple and see how you get on with them.

[@TheCragis]

I really like the idea of using Rakarth Flesh as the primary color on some models in the squad. How would you recommend using the “Oil Smooshing” technique with that color? Browns and tans?

[@cultofpaint]

yeah you got it. I'll almost certainly cover how i do it on one of my elite units

[@MG-cp6lu]

Great tutorial! For the oils you say Dark Rust but the one you show is Light Rust, which one did you use?

[@cultofpaint]

Thanks! It was light rust that I used.

Yes works well, better in fact

[@brandonvancurler6863]

How long did you wait for your warm tone smushing to dry before you started the stripes?

[@cultofpaint]

Maybe 20-30 minutes maximum. I used quick drying oil and quick drying mineral spirits.

Any chance you can do a tutorial painting these guys like a sc2 space marine ?

[@cultofpaint]

What’s that?

curious what varnishes are you using through the airbrush?

[@cultofpaint]

Vallejo and Ammo by MiG

[@DhaanMaat]

Hi. I planned to follow your recipe for my votann army but I received the ak oils and they re really different compared to this video. Light rust and ocher are not really orange or yellow but more brownish. Do you think it will have a big impact on the scheme, should I pick some other colors do you think?

[@cultofpaint]

squirt a bit out onto a pallette, and they dry lighter as well. I think you'll be fine.

[@DhaanMaat]

Ok, thank you for your response and all the great content !

[@Clidefride007]

When you're varnishing with an airbrush, do you thin the varnish or use it straight out of the pot?

[@cultofpaint]

All depends on how thick the varnish is. I thin it enough so that I can give the model 3-4 coats without losing any detail.

[@Clidefride007]

@@cultofpaint I've seen the cult of paint bundle on Element games. If I wanted to do priming, basecoating and zenithal highlights, would the workhourse bundle be a good starter? I have previously used a cheap airbrush but now want to upgrade, and my compressor has stopped working.

I find it amazing you are only using 2 drops of thinner to 1 drop of paint for pro acryl. What size of needle are you using? I am still trying to figure out proper amounts and air pressure.

@@cultofpaint Thanks!

[@Gogsnik]

Seeing a lot of people using oils over the last few years I happened to mention it to my Dad, and then he went off and dug out all his old oil paints, probably older than me! So I used a few on a model, really liked painting with them, but they never seemed to dry? I didn't wick them on cardboard, as I didn't know about that at the time but how long should you leave oil paints for and expect them to be dry, a day, several days? It was a disappointing foray into using oils that they just stayed wet and smeared around. Should I have vanished them between stages? Even though I've collected models for nigh on thirty years, my painting hasn't much progressed beyond basic Citadel style tabletop quality, hence watching videos like this to improve.

[@crowdemon_archives]

Hmm, I don't know what's in your oil paints, but I presume the oil used in them would play a huge role in how long it takes for them to dry. My oils have linseed oil and possibly some other additives in them that makes them dry overnight on a canvas, but a few days if it's on a miniature, but they tend to be fairly easy to work with otherwise. If you want to "thin" your oil down to something more like acrylic and washes, try mineral spirits. They will also make your oil paints matte afaik. Varnishing before they actually dry feels like it will lead to a disaster though... 😅

[@Gogsnik]

@@crowdemon_archives Good to know. I'll have to have a play around with the old paints but If nothing else I may have to invest in some Abteilung oils - any excuse to buy more paints!
