Painting Anvils of the Heldenhammer Vindictors - How I Paint Things

[@dc345601]

Thank you very much for this video. This is exactly what I was looking for. I’ll be doing up my army in this color scheme. Fantastic stuff! Subscribed!

[@nickdavis5420]

Love the black armor it’s incredible

[@uranuseuler9713]

This is the best Anvils tutorial I have seen so far!

[@Ishpeck]

Love the Star Trek mug in the background -- just in case the nerd creds were in doubt.

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

The real tragedy is the split down its side - I can't drink from it any more, so it's only any good as a brush holder! 😭

[@davidnandrin8825]

Neat ! Now to find a miniature to paint that scheme ... Thank you Sir Sonic !

[@Strawfoot]

Oh, you fixed your spinning thing! Yay! Good job on the Sig Marine.

[@chrisfield5709]

Awesome looking black armor with gold trim and a wicked spear! She looks like a Wakandan Storm Cast. Its a neat scheme I'll have to try.

[@AsurmenJoe]

Love the Anvils of the Heldenhammer! Finally i got some motivation to paint my Lord Vertant

[@sabinekine2737]

Ugh, those new Stormcast sculpts are so deliciously good and this paintjob makes them look amazing. Really want to get ahold of some of these guys.

[@longhunter5935]

Very unique take on these great models. Looks so good.

[@gkspain1]

Fantastic work on the figures love the colour scheme, all the best Garry

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@shorelessskies]

Amazing. I'm painting up some of these gits for a friend and you've given me great ideas. Even though I do color armor all the time I never thought to just blend the color with the metallic!

[@redline3090]

Great presentation style. Very easy to follow. Thanks!

[@nixxy1983]

I love this video, exactly what I was looking for

[@andrewdixon7897]

I love how all of them are very special! You're doing amazing work my brother across the pond

[@johnkelley9877]

It looks fantastic and is a very different color scheme! Thanks for sharing this.

[@mikehawkins346]

Very excited to see how you do the Kruleboyz and Hobgrots, I've been waiting on your videos before I paint anything from my Dominion box.......lol

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

They're pretty close behind on the list, funnily enough. ;D Those Kruleboyz are awesome, I really like the slight change in style they've got going.

[@mikehawkins346]

@@SonicSledgehammerStudio I agree, this new style has me wanting to do them more as a Hobgrot society with darker skin tones for the Kruleboyz to represent their age and better abikities.

[@KimHarderFog]

Great looking armor, looks really good with the basing scheme

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

I really like quite simple bases, but with a bit of colour to them - the black armour will look all the darker by comparison. It's how I used to do my Iron Hands back in the day!

[@fogh]

I love that black armour. I will have to try that on some of my TYW cuirassiers - many thanks for the great ideas 👍

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

Ooh, now that's a good shout. I have to finally pick up some of the Perry Miniatures stuff for some pike and shot games; I think you're right, that ought to look rather good.

[@fogh]

@@SonicSledgehammerStudio I would love to see some Pike and Shot period figures given the SSS treatment 👍. Have you done a video on horses? Something that many people find challenging, but I expect there are some clever short cuts and other tips 😀.

[@NikoTeaJay]

Anvils have a great colour scheme. Cool lore too. I painted my Silver Tower stormcast in their scheme. Good tabletop guide from you, as usual.

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

They're rad! Especially if you've only got a handful of them to paint. 😂

[@NikoTeaJay]

@@SonicSledgehammerStudio it's why I stick to skirmish games and board games. Just finished 10 skeletons for Cursed City and that's quite enough for me. It's still good to see your take on army projects.

[@LarsLinde]

Looks awesome 👍🏼

[@Level30Commoner]

Just when I was wondering what armor colour I should pick for my new Stormcast. Thank you very much! :-)

[@euansmith3699]

Oooooh! That is a handsome paint job!

[@loupiscanis9449]

Thank you , Sonic , Nice job ,

[@johnramirez1704]

Thank you for this - exactly how i will b painting them.

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

Aces! :D Have fun with them!

[@ollayze8863]

Your back! Hooray 😁. I do enjoy your painting tutorial and i run Anvils Of Heldenhammer. Lets see how differently i paint mine to yours ^^.

[@oswaldbastable4139]

That looks great! I really enjoy your videos, thank you so much for making them :-)

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

Much obliged! :D

[@robisonwells1]

Love the recipe for the black. Looks awesome.

[@Vanye111]

Very nice armor, excellent job!

[@ShalangaRB]

Great video ! thank you from France

[@gvjones74]

Thanks, great video, would be great to see how you would tackle the new ork kommandos when they come out.

[@AF-kj2zl]

Quite nice!

[@SPARTANTROOPER]

Used this to paint my Questor Soulsworn warband, was a great tutorial.

[@Auri597]

What did you do for the fur?

[@SPARTANTROOPER]

@@Auri597 Vallejo wolf grey for the fur, Vallejo black gray for the claws and paw pads. Black washed it, then dry brushed it with gray.

[@GrumpyThump]

Gonna use this on Black Templars. Great job.

[@galan8115]

Thank you Sonic, for this videos full of love and hard work. I hated stormcast until this moment. Now i tolerate them. How did you paint the base, cause the other tutorial was differnt, right?

[@imyourlol]

Just a quick easy tip for battletop. If u use blacksilver mix, use that like dry brush over black base, it's really quick and add just that little volumetric highlights that help alot. See u dude I love your contents!

[@chrisbromage201]

Coming back to this one now that Skaventide's out, Think i'm going to have to go for Anvils for my Stormbros

[@UnusualHat7]

Great vid. These models look like they will be very good for kitbashing in 40k. Have you ever tried Vallejo metals? They cover even better than retributor gold.

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

I'll have to give them a shot!

[@BROOKY243]

Always great painting advice, can't wait to paint some of my Dominion in this scheme or do I wait to see how you paint the Orks first??

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

Look forward to some of the Kruleboyz early next week!

[@BROOKY243]

@@SonicSledgehammerStudio Excellent! in my best Mr. Burns voice :)

[@TrentRosenbaum]

That is a great way to paint the armour. I just got 10 of these warriors from eBay to try out some of the tutorials I have seen. I think this one is a must!! I was wondering if the same method of this armour would work for Iron Hands? I know they are meant to be more industrial oil, but it feels like it might work with a shipping effect later? Top video!

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

Yeah, I think this would work pretty well for Iron Hands. Especially the contrast with the brighter steel and white details they've got going!

[@TrentRosenbaum]

@@SonicSledgehammerStudio Seems like a silly question, but are you going to be painting the other Stormhosts?

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

@@TrentRosenbaum There's a couple of other Stormhosts on the channel already - the techniques will still work perfectly well on the Vindictors, with the added bonus of not having to paint any robes for the most part! 😂

[@cjanquart]

I was thumbing through a paint guide and felt the same when I saw this paint scheme and it gets away from the goody-two-shoes shiny metallic versions. One of these days I'll paint the other half of the Soul Wars box.

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

I have to admit, if I had to pick a single Stormhost that stands out as a favourite, it'd probably be Hallowed Knights - they're pretty shiny! But the Anvils have a real worn, grimy appeal that makes them a close second in that battle.

[@Matt-md5yt]

the newer models are more slimline and I love it. still good kitbashing material for Space Marines

[@dandes7113]

Fantastic paint scheme! Applicable for any fantasy world. Btw what is the device/tool holding your Nuln Oil pot, please?

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

It's a little 3D printed part from Thingiverse, off of my Ender 3. I've seen similar for sale online, tho - just not sure what you'd call them to search for them, I'm afraid!

[@TheAkeris]

Looks really good! What did you use for varnishing? The black(metal) looks really smooth! Looks a lot different in the end than in the shots in between - and isnt varnishing the metal counter-productive because its taking away the shine from the metal parts?

[@Woff1dGM]

love the black armor ! do you think applying iron warriors and then 2 coats of nuln oil would give a similar result ? im not really confident at all when it comes to mixing paints sadly

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

It'll look fairly close, but not quite as dark. You might try finding Vallejo Air Metallic Black - it's much closer in result to how this looks.

[@Woff1dGM]

@@SonicSledgehammerStudio ill try that one out then , i do love vallejos metallic paints thanks !

[@auroralee]

Yeah don't mind me using this for my Black Templars

[@pandorassocks7996]

Please please please do a gutrippa! 😍

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

Most definitely on the list!

[@pandorassocks7996]

@@SonicSledgehammerStudio make sure it’s a very special painting guide!

[@Fluffykeith]

Very cool scheme :) Are you planning on maybe doing Yndrasta? *wink wink*. Or maybe you have some advice on how to do her wings like raven wings instead of white? *winky winky winky*

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

To be fair, if I'm gonna do Yndrasta she'll be similar to the 'official' look. But raven wings? Corvus Black, a quick drybrush all over of Dawnstone, Drakenhof Nightshade and then a second, much lighter drybrush of Longbeard Grey along edges and upper sides of the wings, I'd think.

[@Fluffykeith]

@@SonicSledgehammerStudio Awesomes, thank you. I'll let you know how it goes...:P

[@thebrewgeek]

Oh man, now I’m conflicted. I’d decided to do a turquoise wash over silver style armor with maroon cloth areas, but the scheme you used looks amazing. I love the gold/black contrast.

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

It's super stark, but works great in person. That little hint of light that reflects from the metallic in the armour stops it from being quite so flat, and somehow makes the gold even brighter by comparison. It's not a fast way to paint an army, but I really like the result.

[@Jason-gq8fo]

Could you do a video about painting white scars skin tone?

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

There's a few tips in a couple of the skin tones videos I've done you might find useful! kzbin.info/www/bejne/m6LKgXSBfcSdr5o

[@siriandelgaro3806]

Do you smell it ? smells like ....black legion sheme...smells like black templar ....i like

Urge to buy Dominion... rising... oh no.

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

The Vindictors are ludicrously cool. Looking forward to cracking on with some of the Orcs, too!
