Painting an army over a Week - HC 308

[@geteavnroc2250]

"You can paint your base rims any color, as long as its black." LMAO TOTALLY agree!

[@cyriltournier5784]

You misspelled goblin green ^^

[@freedom2663]

Yeah. I was wondering if I heard him wrong. XD

[@breakupgoogle4584]

I use Skavenblight Dinge. It looks good against green, concrete, and brown dirt.

[@VinceVenturella]

It's always black. :)

[@carstendich2906]

What about a t-shirt in the merch store with that slogan printed on.... 😁👍

[@PyromancerRift]

The foolproof version is to use a yellow ink after the red undertone and the light tan highlight. You can't cover too much with it and it's glorious.

[@myramini188]

Tom's 'sabbatical' is actually just winning tournaments and trolling Vince.

[@VinceVenturella]

So it seems. :)

[@gordon5082]

Vince: "I have back pain that prevents me from sitting and painting models." Mortals: "I need to lay down and rest." Vince: paints 8 hours.

[@peterfiser]

My thoughts also.

[@VinceVenturella]

Can't stop, won't stop.

[@dustinasche]

For Vince, 8 hour painting sessions is taking it easy.

[@ODA204SBD9]

I was physically moved when you black-rimmed that base. Can we get a black base-rimming montage sometime?

[@VinceVenturella]

That would be top shelf content.

[@ThomasGallinari]

2:32 best airbrush sound ever

[@VinceVenturella]

:)

[@wing459]

Vince: "watch me get a whole army done in a week" Me: "watch me do a whole 10 Necron Warriors in two" Out of curiosity, do you thin your varnishes when using them through the airbrush? I've got AK matte varnish for my airbrush but I honestly just never get around to using it out of trepidation of getting the settings/consistency right and then just keep spending money on spray cans instead.

[@Questioningbasics]

Me: Watch me do an whole Intercessor in seven

[@Mikey__R]

Watch me paint a paladin by November!

[@sushimandaddi]

I do thin it through the airbrush but you cant really mess it up just don't put on too much. You just want to thin it so it will spray evenly though the airbrush

[@Mikey__R]

@@sushimandaddi agreed, varnish is fairly forgiving of dilution ratios. And being transparent, you don't need to worry so much about overspray.

[@brkfstfd]

I think I heard him say once or twice that he thins everything that goes through the airbrush. :)

[@notnubilous3804]

"It's now time to ruin the project" Ah yes, I am familiar with this step.

[@VinceVenturella]

The most fun step.

[@maizetoken377]

That yellow looks *so* good!

[@Antheraws]

Messed up my back. Don't worry I only painted 8 hours. Good ol' Jack Daniels helped me out with that one.

[@rhag1394]

And another fantastic army is done! I was looking forward to this clip. Tyler was clearly quite overwhelmed with the gift you guys made him. Thank you for sharing the process of painting the army! You made yellow look easy ;)

[@VinceVenturella]

It really can be. :)

[@ruddendave]

Dude I'm so sorry to hear about your injury, wishing you a speedy recovery!

[@VinceVenturella]

Thank you, all better now. :)

[@mylesjohnson7351]

Good on you for saying wear a mask while using white sprit I see youtubers who airbrush lacquer paint with no mask on and use lacquer thinner to clean it with no mask

[@VinceVenturella]

Yeah, you don't mess around with enamels.

[@Mikey__R]

Excellent cameo by Tom! I hope you're not in too much discomfort whilst you recover from your injury. My lumbar spine is made from cornflakes, any amount of sitting causes me pain. I've switched full time to standing desks.

[@VinceVenturella]

All recovered now, but I apprecaite it. :)

[@emilymegan40]

The Tom cameo - priceless! What a beautiful gesture and army!

[@VinceVenturella]

WHen Tom was here visiting while I was finishing this, I knew there was no other option. ;)

[@OldManRogers]

A true labour of love for your friend. Extra respect for working through injury but take care of yourself Mr V!

[@VinceVenturella]

It was a rough week, but all better now. :)

[@taco0991]

Great stuff! Thanks again!

[@chrissteadman4614]

What a hugely useful vid', thanks Vince. There are lots of tips that I'll be trying, but that yellow recipe is so timely - I was just trying to figure out how to paint a squad of yellow robots for Stargrave.

[@VinceVenturella]

Awesome, always happy to help. :)

[@havok100]

Super cute. I followed the same steps for my own Jawz! A little confirmation of knowledge is nice once in a while. Thanks for the great video.

[@VinceVenturella]

Always happy to help. :)

[@Lodorn]

I'm sitting here in awe, taking weeks for a couple of boyz at a time...

[@VinceVenturella]

Well, hopefully this all helps out. :)

[@Lodorn]

@@VinceVenturella Oh, definitely. I'm a little concerned if I changed methods the army wouldn't look coherent anymore, though. x)

[@Wijkert]

4:36 have had great results with mixing about a 50/50 mix of AK ultra matt varnish into my inks. That way I save a step and I also don't need thinner for either. The end result is still a bit satin (which I like), but that can be easily tweaked by altering the ratio.

[@Teofreyz]

I just wanted to drop a big thank you. I decided to get into AoS and chose Ironjawz (because Waaagh and stuff), and I know that with my current painting skill level I wouldnt get nowhere close to the results Im getting with a video like this.

[@VinceVenturella]

Always happy to help. :)

[@tonyslab4839]

Great ep - will be applying these ideas to finish painting my craftworld eldar army. Looking fwd to the next one !

[@VinceVenturella]

Awesome, always happy to help. :)

[@jamesgoodsell1678]

‘Get schwifty with it’ made me laugh out loud! Excellent video Vince, learned so much for painting my CoS army.

[@VinceVenturella]

Happy to help. :)

[@magnusmillerwilson]

Amazing. Thanks for walking through this in such detail!

[@JakeDogg-RIP]

Show Scotty how he should be painting his dark eldar! Well done Vincey vee! No excuses @Miniac! 😂😉🐶

[@VinceVenturella]

Gotta keep him motivated. ;)

[@JakeDogg-RIP]

@@VinceVenturella hopefully see another video from him soon(about his 40k army), last one feels like a couple months ago on the dark eldar army 😬😞

[@peterlageri4177]

The Hobby Cheating videos have certainly improved in presentation, style and humour over the years. I think a big change came after you had Jon, Scott and Sam over for a week-end. I like how you how talk into the camera at the start and those funny little intermezzos. Good humour on that "so you think you are done?" Best Regards Peter Rasch Lageri, Denmark.

[@VinceVenturella]

Thank you, and you're not wrong, those guys have inspired me over the past two years. :)

[@travislankford9254]

I was looking forward to these once I heard about the donation for Tyler. Love this format but also understand why it is an incredibly rare piece of content due to the scope. I love how every step is broken down but skills and techniques that can transfer to any paint scheme are highlighted (e.g. the use of a limited palette). I wonder if you could expand on that piece of content and do other videos along those lines such as "(whatever the proper name for the limited palette is) for Basic SCE/whatever other faction" or maybe color theory around if you chose this as your primary color this is how you go about choosing those select few other paints. Keep up the awesome work and love the cliffhanger at the end!

[@VinceVenturella]

Yeah, these are always massive projects, and I love the videos, but I do need to find someway to get at the same thing, but in a more reasonable way. :)

[@Lifewast3d]

I think I used a half a pot of streaking grime hosing down my gargants and Kragnos for my two nashcon lists. Videos like this from you and other KZbinrs are what enabled me to SpeedPaint them in time for the event.

[@VinceVenturella]

I saw the army, it looked very nice and I enjoyed your army sign, quite funny. :)

[@Lifewast3d]

​@@VinceVenturella Thanks, I really appreciate that. Nashcon was a fun event, and I am looking forward to going next year as well.

[@brainstorm8778]

You have literally demonstrated the colour scheme, approach and freehand I was looking for, for my 40k army :)

[@VinceVenturella]

Awesome, happy to help. :)

[@marcbenson1969]

Vince: "I hate straps on models." Plays a fully painted Slaanesh army. That army will do that to anyone.

[@VinceVenturella]

Yeah, it's trauma.

[@benzen69]

Panting caused extreme pain - I only managed to get eight hours in. You're a warrior!

[@VinceVenturella]

Always gotta keep fighting. :)

[@AzraelThanatos]

Reminds me so much of my initial blitz for an Empire force with Star Wars: Legion. I burned through it in just over a week along with the rebels and barricades in the starter box.

[@VinceVenturella]

Fantastic!

[@TimothyNiederriter]

I liked this video for the take on yellow. Wish I could like it again after Vince mentioned getting schwifty with the brown paint.

[@VinceVenturella]

Thank you. :)

[@ElGoddardo]

Never have I seen a more relatable thumbnail - nice job Vince!

[@VinceVenturella]

Indeed. :)

[@peterfiser]

Shots look much better with the lighting lowered around the 4 minute mark.

[@VinceVenturella]

Good note, maybe I'll shoot a little darker from now on.

[@SomeBlackDude26]

Incredible. That quality in 5 days is astonishing. I'm sure it was 40ish hours but impressive nonetheless. Your expertise shines through in an amazing way.

[@MightyMax2756]

This is a great hobby cheating best of video. It puts so many techniques on display, and shows a great overall process for painting an army

[@VinceVenturella]

Thank you, always happy to help.

[@illuminatidorito4029]

Respirator, extremely toxic... 😅 hehe will start using one, ive only now gotten into airbrush and never heard or thought about it until now... Thanks for the life saving tip, and great army!!

[@emilydowd-arrow3751]

I LOL’d the entire time AND got many great tips and ideas. You’re a master, Vince. And you’re getting amusingly cheeky. 👍👍😂

[@VinceVenturella]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@markxivlxii1390]

Great video and awesome army choice. There is so much to unpack for me in these 25 minutes (technique, color choice, recipes etc) that Ill need to watch a dozen more times. I always learn something new on multiple viewings. Looking forward to the Mawkrusha vid......

[@VinceVenturella]

Very efficient painting methods, sooo inspiring. Really helps me to stay focused, grab my brushes and get back to "work"! Many thx.

[@VinceVenturella]

Wonderful! Always happy to help.

just watched two videos, lovely stuff - this is exactly my sort of painting. Not afraid to spend time as long as it's in the right places. Look forward to going through all your videos.

[@VinceVenturella]

Thanks so much 😊 Glad to have you along on the hobby journey. :)

[@clawhammr666]

Excellent work, hope your back is healing quickly, I just realized last time I used grime I just went in straight with spirit, not whipe on dry, explains why it came out weirdly brighter then before.

[@VinceVenturella]

All better and yep, the key is the dry wipe to start. :)

[@allenbenningfield3865]

I love this army.

[@VinceVenturella]

Sounds like something that should be on the list for sure. :)

[@Kamuboyz]

The orc skin is some kind of magic! Looks awesome in a moment 😍

[@VinceVenturella]

[@Wijkert]

19:15 I feel ya. Currently dealing with a (double) hernia for the first time in my live. Need to stand up as much as I can, so doing less hobby than I would like. Rough times.

[@VinceVenturella]

Yeah, that's rough.

[@MrDraconder]

I never thought of using free-hand patterns to break up a colour on the armour. I have 60 bestigor with Tau Light Ochre armour which I dabbed with a sponge to create some rust underneath but even with that, the burnt orange is quite strong. I was wondering though what patterns would fit a BoC army, I doubt they would be the kind of race to go for intricate patterns.

[@VinceVenturella]

Any simple pattern can work. :)

[@GunslingerGarage]

Thank you for this. I'm just about to start an Ironjawz army and this is exactly what I've been looking for

[@VinceVenturella]

Excellent.

[@VinceVenturella]

I wasn't expecting to do two this year. :)

[@guineapigsith699]

@@VinceVenturella Hey man far as I'm concerned they're top notch amazing infotainment. Any new take is really valuable, like doing the yellow. I'm planning a wood elf army. I want to get a "sunlight shining through the canopy" look for the cloaks. I'm thinking thinking zenithal prime red, orange, white, then yellow (ink?), then the green as a contrast type glaze (ink again?), finally a deep blue oil for the shadows and a warm white oil for the highlights. I could do with your guidance. Am I thinking about this right?

[@ForgottenStreams]

Those look so cool, better than the GW studio version. And I am surprised how yellow that yellow ochre and orange ink mix turned out. Great job!

[@VinceVenturella]

Thank you. :)

[@TheMiniaturesPaintbrush]

Awesome video, I have quite a bit of 40k orcs and I was thinking about yellow armor, this will come in handy, thank you!

In the opening shot you can see 2 of the ... big dragon things: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJzanmCinpKcq7M In the beautiful yellow army shot you can't see them (probably because they're green) kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJzanmCinpKcq7M They both show up again after griming, only basecoated: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJzanmCinpKcq7M And one beautifully painted dragon thing at the ending shot: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJzanmCinpKcq7M84 Yup, been there before. Just put a model in the wrong spot and forget it exists.

[@VinceVenturella]

All part of the plan... ;)

[@dannitz3280]

Really enjoyed this. I’m getting an airbrush for Christmas so I am going through a lot of your videos that feature it to learn. Any tips on taking this process but doing blue armor? Mainly with the under-shade.

[@VinceVenturella]

Glad it was helpful! Really anything can work for blue, a traditional black to white will work fine, but you can use something more exotic like a purple to ice yellow for some nice effects.

Something like a deep purple, red or even black could all work, depending on the tone you wanted.

Sadly with this size of an army, it's too good of a tool to pass on.

[@Gvaz]

@@VinceVenturella I just don't have the space, best I can do is to setup a TV dinner table, and paint into an airbrush booth on top of that, and put it all away when I'm done, resulting in the barrier for entry to be much higher
