How to paint Warhammer 40K Chaos Cultists in just 10 minutes!

Warhammer 40K has a lot of cool antagonists, but some of the most classic and ubiquitous are chaos cultists. Games Workshop just released a new plastic kit a couple years ago and they look awesome! In this video I show you how to paint these battle-line units in a grimdark style quickly using batch-painting and lots of drybrushing!

Congratulations sir. You're right about the other videos that I've seen out there painting chaos cultists. They do look really good, but you're right spending 35 minutes on a cultist is completely defeating the purpose of getting an army painted. I think you have struck the perfect balance of getting a good paint job with the least amount of effort pyramid and for that I think you have figured out the absolute best way to paint these wonderful figures. I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of your painting tutorials on KZbin. Cheers

Great video and definitely a super easy way to get loads of cultists painted!

I don't even play the tabletop (yet) so quality definitely comes before quantity but I just got my hands on a pack of these guys and definitely will try your way out. Thanks for such a short but good tutorial

[@hyrothesecond]

For those interested, the dry rushing thing is a technique similar to "grisaille" or "greyscale." If you want to make it even quicker (it doesn't look as good, but for horde armies that's OK), you can use the same principle, but with zenithal highlights. Black undercoat, grey zenithal at about 45 degrees, then white zenithal a bit higher, then use washes (speed paints). Job jobbed. If you still want to add more depth, then use a wash of something like nuln oil. You don't get edge highlights this way, but you do get a sense of where the light is, if that makes sense?

@cadia job done! changed up a little by adding a dry brush of different colours and they look great (imo). now starting 2nd batch with a base of black legion fading up to leviathan purple...should be fun 🙂

Oh no, Cadia has fallen! To Chaos! Great video

[@peterclarke7240]

Goddamn it, Cadia. Can't we leave you for five minutes without you falling? We're going to have to get you one of those personal alarms pensioners have.

Unfortunately the agrax earthshade you use is the old one and not available anymore. The new one does not darken the model as much. So new painters beware, you might need multiple coats to achieve the same effect.

Reikland Fleshshade is good.

All that hard work painting him just for the model to get murdered by a heavy bolter round one

[@CadiaStands]

The struggle is real XD
