I'm so happy to finally see a miniature painter use scale modelling techniques. There's way too many mini painters out there, who've never been introduced to the awesome things that have been in use for decades. From simply things like micro sol/set for decals, to to advanced artist oil "dotting" for weathering the grime, grease and algae that build up and run down armour plates. Thank you!

[@cultofpaint]

Glad you like it!

[@jostonpowell1346]

Who you do recommend learning more of these techniques from ?

[@TheDrouyn]

@@jostonpowell1346 nightshift and panzermeister on KZbin are a good place to start.

[@jostonpowell1346]

@@TheDrouyn Appreciate it

[@jensskautrup640]

Please upload more personal projects, and vids on heresy and adeptus titanicus. Really enjoying these

[@cultofpaint]

Ok!

[@tompayne4945]

I love how Titanicus is such a draw for well rounded hobbyists. You got a new sub for as long as there's AT18 content bud, and was a great relaxing watch too 😍

[@cultofpaint]

Awesome, thank you!

[@TRTT]

You're one of the channels I've been watching for how to improve my content. Everything about this rules, love the work on the weathering in particular.

[@cultofpaint]

Great to hear!

[@arx1381]

Such a beautiful rendition and I do like the green armour. That red and white goes so well with the green A.

[@robertbennettdean1335]

Would love a Psi Titan tutorial! Haven't found a single one on KZbin where someone goes over their paint scheme. I think it's a hard thing to nail too since it's mostly gray but with just a hint of green.

[@notnubilous3804]

The God Breakers have always been my favorite Titan legion, so awesome to see you doing them justice! Well done!

[@felixw.5836]

Joined your patreon because of your Krytos pdf. Awesome to see the force grow! Would love to see more titanicus content on the patreon.

[@ozstrider]

Aeronautica is fantastic. I used a bunch of these same techniques on my set and it works for every type of plane. Great work on the titan. That new one is really pulling my attention towards some AT at the moment.

[@cultofpaint]

Great to hear!

[@paintbusch]

This is such a fantastic colour scheme mate. Just beatiful. GW does have to thank you, just bought the Maniple box + all the paints you've used + your Patreon to have a look at the MASSIVE painting guide. Bloody brilliant work! Can't wait to try it myself, I hope my engines will look half as nice as yours.

[@cultofpaint]

Hah awesome!! Make sure to give us a tag when you finish them, love seeing AT stuff

[@paintbusch]

@@cultofpaint Will definitely do! I'm really looking forward to using the oil paints for the weathering. Haven't used them before. Can't wait to see how they work :)

[@Pandenhir]

So happy I stumbled over this tutorial! Great comprehensive explanations and a great voice to listen to! :) Will jump unto the patreon to snatch the Krytos pdf after the next paycheck. Thanks and all the best from Germany.

[@cultofpaint]

Awesome, thank you!

[@danielengle4876]

Loved this video! Never thought of oils for weathering.. I will try this as I am just getting into AT..

[@cultofpaint]

Good luck!

[@horuslupercal9936]

I love the Sons of Horus-esque paint scheme!

[@kevinmccusker1509]

Brilliant video. Wish this was here when I painted my Krytos in 2019. Will be investing in some oils and switching technique for future titans though. Will also look into the name plates. Its an addictive game and there is always the temptation to add in just one more titan.

[@TetsugakuSan]

the DF he mentions from Patreon is really really worth it. Used it a lot fo my own legion

[@cultofpaint]

It really is. But it's never just one more....

[@kevinmccusker1509]

@@cultofpaint true, especially with the new Maniple box! Perhaps next month....

[@mathewthomas4741]

What an incredible scheme! Great techniques too and really works for the scale! Would really appreciate to know if you were adding transfers, which stage would you add them, before the oil dots or after, before the weathering? Thank you.

[@chaosgrunt9554]

I might nick this to paint some Sons of Horus. it's nice, it's bright and the paints have SoH themed names to boot! Thanks for the tutorial.

[@randomcenturion7264]

Yes! I've been looking all over for a Warmaster with shoulder Inferno Guns. Thank you.

[@cultofpaint]

The best choice for maximum burninating.

[@FaceHammer]

Love this - I am really excited for Titanicus again - this scheme is lovely, love the additional bits with the banners etc

[@cultofpaint]

I love the small scale stuff dude.

[@Dzeimz]

Your demonstrations and tuts are simply superb! I've not even started modelling but my pile of shame has four Titans. This was very inspirational :-) Cheers.

[@cultofpaint]

plastic titans?......

[@Dzeimz]

@@cultofpaint I generalise calling them titans. A Iconoclast, Imperial Knight, Warlord Battle Titan and unforgivably I can't remember the other :) Too much plastic lol

[@jurriaandejongh8677]

Thank you for sharing this! I love these oil paint techniques.

[@craigbeard4614]

Love the green

[@Lonestarminiatures]

Would love to see how you built the bases for these guys! They look just as awesome!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@cultofpaint]

Bases are covered in the Patreon tutorial

[@TheAtomicSpoon]

If you're still considering warlords a year on, can always do Hammer of Tyrants, Krytos' legend unit.

[@TetsugakuSan]

Amazing video, my warmaster arrived today! Aeronautica Imperialis, really really keen on seeing that done by you guys!

[@cultofpaint]

Enjoy the build,. its a lot of fun!

[@pieter-janvangucht2152]

Loved this look into an obvious labor of love! Hope to see more of this in the future, perhaps Horus heresy if the rumors of an upcoming plastic release turn out to be true? 😏

[@cultofpaint]

Sounds good to me!

[@Thirdcast]

Great video Henry, really love these videos of your personal projects. Time to sign up to your guys patreon I think. As a quick one, which reds would you use for a Mortis force?

[@cultofpaint]

Thanks very much! At the moment i try both the contrast reds first when looking for a red scheme.

[@justinavery8664]

Top notch job!!! Most impressive.

[@cultofpaint]

Thanks!

[@edwardpoppy]

Mines in the post, cant wait!

[@TheBaronVSP]

I'm a Gryphonicus man, but this is a fantastic paint job!

[@cultofpaint]

A great looking Legio

[@I_am_Spartacus]

So much to love about this video, thank you so much Henry! Such great timing you and Rich both show off your Warmasters, so inspiring. I've just bought my first Maniple set and the Warmaster but have no idea which Legio to do,, how should I go about choosing one? Should I base it on my fave colour scheme or rules? Thanks

[@cultofpaint]

That's awesome! I went with colour scheme and background. As a game theres really only a handful of traits/wargear etc that are a bit OTT so you can feel confident that you'll be in any game you play, regardless of your Legio choice.

[@Rvdbarnes]

Great video Henry I watched this whilst sat building my Iconoclast Titan and planning my Krytos colour scheme. Is there more Krytos content available elsewhere that would be useful? Videos or documents?

[@cultofpaint]

Cheers Lee, there’s a huge pdf guide on our Patreon that I did covering everything I did on mine. Reminds me I really need to paint up a few more engines…

[@jorey4565]

To make damages,you should try one day the stencils from ARTOOL FX TEXTURES,incredible results too and moore than easy !

[@mikeparker9812]

Awesome work. And AI is an amazing game, I highly recommend trying it if you haven't.

[@TheDean04]

This guide was fantastic! I was wondering, what polyurethane "varnish" or sealer you're using? It's the last piece I think I need, also, do you seal the whole model after you are done painting?

[@cultofpaint]

Hi Scott, I use Vallejo polyurethane gloss. But any airbrush acrylic would do. And no I don’t seal the model.

[@smangnall]

Excellent!!!

[@cultofpaint]

Glad you like it!

[@ultrakhalus]

Three Warlords? Nah, make it four to honour their Iron Warriors allies. Let the God Breakers shatter the Loyalist walls and legions under a weight of heavy battle titans and healthy application of superior Olympian artillery! (Great tutorial as always!)

[@cultofpaint]

Boom boom boom

[@grayheresy5467]

YAAAAASSSSS KRYTOS FOR THE WIN!

[@gorganhorn6872]

Hi there Archmagos of Paint. Do you do commissions? Amazing work as usual.

[@cultofpaint]

The odd one, drop me an email at [e-mail]

[@michaelcaricoo]

Does using oils with a natural hair brush (sorry if yours is a synthetic, it looked natural) not mess up the bristles? I've seen so many places say not to, but here yall do it and clearly you know what your doing.

[@cultofpaint]

It will mess them up eventually, I just use ones that are no longer good enough for my normal painting.

[@aurelius9026]

lovely video! just curious about what gauge did you use for the brass sheet?

[@cultofpaint]

Thanks, I'm afraid i dont know, was given it by a mate years ago. Very thin though, If i didnt have it then I'd probably have used a coke can.

[@deeperestmeme479]

How do they pay for their Titans though! With Kryptos Currency?

[@thedarkmillennium3788]

Sorry if this has already been covered in another video, but when you spray varnish through your airbrush, what brand varnish do you normally use and how do you clean the airbrush after?

[@cultofpaint]

Vallejo or Ammo by MiG. Normal cleaning regime, cleaner, water, done.

[@inferno9103]

Please tell where to get transfers for banners such as long texts etc.?

[@warhounds]

Yes YES TITANS!!!

[@kriegerlander8054]

are you going to add in a knight house?

Indeed! Check out the recent Caesarean video :)

Joined the pateron as just picked up the starter but struggling to find the PDF guide I searched for Adeptus but only got custodes guid e

[@cultofpaint]

I've reposted it with another Titanicus tutorial this morning.

[@benjimcc]

@@cultofpaint Absolutely stunning and great guide. Im now cursing that i cant get the transfer kits for this legio !

[@paintbusch]

Hi guys, quick question. When you are using the gloss varnish through the airbrush. Are you thinning it at all or do you use it neat?

[@cultofpaint]

Thinned with airbrush thinner. Spraying at 25psi we thin the vallejo polyurethane gloss 3 parts thinner to paint.

[@paintbusch]

@@cultofpaint thanks guys, appreciate the help ☺️

[@paintbusch]

@@cultofpaint Btw: Do you guys think the Legio Krytos decals will get re-released once there is a „Traitor Legios“ book?

[@FaceHammer]

also 100% add 3 warlords in!

[@glitch200]

How do i add chipping and streaking to black armor?

[@cultofpaint]

Exactly the same way. Either lighter grey or metals and the saem oils you would use for the rest of the dirt. Just because it won't show up as much doesn't mean it would be a different dirt colour.

[@michaelhband]

👍👍👍

[@noodlesswe5687]

ultimate warboos name "Biggus Dickus" and he have a wife.......

3 warlord and 5 reaver yolo
