PAINTING BATTLE DAMAGE | NO OILS | POWERWASH SIMULATOR WARHAMMER 40k

[@SkywalkerOne1977]

I really appreciate you showing so much of the paint job rather than cutting and skipping around. Really helps to sink in the skill. Thanks!

[@cultofpaint]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Moonlighter_TV]

I really appreciate that you changed the properties of the paint and the layers to keep the techniques very similar to your usual work flow. This video isn't so much for me because I'm down to try all the tools - oils, enamels, air brush, whatever, but I see a lot of comments where people get upset and give up on a video because they see an air brush or oil paints and they either think it's "cheating" or maybe just can't invest the money or time in a new tool or set of oil paints.

[@DoktorTechnometer]

That was fascinating - I have seen your other videos using oils and spirits but seeing it done with acrylics and contrast/mediums was surprising. Great video - a tool in the kit I never new existed, thanks for sharing.

[@cultofpaint]

Thanks, it's good fun using alternatives now and again.

[@gosupaints5186]

great video i had no idea you could do dot filtering/streaks with acrylics like that. also it wouldve been hilarious if you took a power washer and stripped the filth off the mini at the end lol.

[@cultofpaint]

There was a temptation!

I like the philosophy of layering weathering. Nice video!

[@cultofpaint]

Thanks!

[@pedrogomez3452]

this was so helpful, love the medium layer to then dot and brush grime. no oils required, would like to try one day but so great to see this method

[@TimcPlays]

That dot weathering with the lamium medium is absolutely GENIUS. I think I may have to revisit my Titans and have a go at it!

[@cultofpaint]

Do it! What legio?

[@regularbear]

Acrylic dot filtering is something I never seen

[@cultofpaint]

It's been around a long time and is very effective.

[@Nissenov]

Richard Grey also uses it in many of his videos. It has been used on historical models too, for a long long time. It is a very nice technique 🖖🏻

[@regularbear]

@@Nissenov I'm well aware of OIL dot filtering. But don't understand the benefits of acrylics v. Oils. Seems like a similar result but some extra steps and no way to fix errors or results you don't like

[@Nissenov]

@@regularbear Oh sorry, that wooshed over my head😅 I somehow missed the "Acrylic" part in your comment, woopsie 🫣 I'll just show myself out now🖖🏻

[@mattsmith6514]

Lovely colours on that Imperial Fists Dreadnought. Puts me in mind of dirty construction vehicles. I could see a JCB kit being done in exactly that style.

[@cultofpaint]

Yes;

[@jamesgunnell7798]

I'd love to see this process applied to a darker scheme. I'm struggling on my night lords to make the weathering stand out and not blend in too much.

[@scroggie_mini_painting3983]

Cheers Henry! Stunning result and taught in a very clear way! Painting wizard 👍🏼

[@dr.christopherjvloughlin3313]

Watched half of this video, another phenomenal one. Thank you! 🤩

[@chipstercamarillo9373]

This was a brilliant video, I sent it to a friend that is building a 'fists, army and he has been trying different weathering effects. I want to try this with my Grey Knights...

[@jamiegee7418]

Thanks Henry .... that's another new paint scheme/method I have to try rather than actually getting on with my army that I should be painting ....

[@craigcook5121]

Can’t wait to get home from fifo job as I have a dreadnought to paint and going to give these paint techniques a good crack. Cheers

[@PainlessViking]

Min 5:43 , got me craving a coffee so I made one while watching this beautifull video

[@cultofpaint]

I hope it looked a bit nicer than that!

[@SleazyFleazy]

This is amazing Henry!

[@cultofpaint]

Thanks!

[@The_Foil]

I have 4 rogal dorns ,2 lemans and 1 baneblade all in need of a good weathering effect, i'll use this as guide, thank you

[@mikaelpettersson2052]

Wow. Fantastic video. New stuff learned🙌

[@cultofpaint]

Great!

[@LincolnTank-StillOnTheSprue]

Great vid again Henry. Have you done any vids in which you show how to create realistic scorch marks on models?

[@cultofpaint]

Hey, possibly. Theyd be on vehicle videos. I'll have some tanks coming up soon and wil ltry to remember to include that effect.

[@LincolnTank-StillOnTheSprue]

Awesome@@cultofpaint, many thanks

[@andersolsson1659]

That looks amazing! 😮

[@cultofpaint]

Thanks!

[@Starcraft247shadow]

Great Video! how would you do battle damage or chipping on something like a CSM where all of the armor panel edges are metallic trim? Something I've always wondered was how to apply this weathering/battle damage style to like the new khorne berserkers or CSM models.

[@cultofpaint]

I've done a few videos on chaos marines, including a couple of schemes on the beserkers.

[@Starcraft247shadow]

@@cultofpaint I totally missed that I’ll give it a look. Thanks!

[@georgikens7516]

stellar paint job as always. i need to pick up a redemptor, you make it look like a blast to paint! would you give any different pointers if you were to do this weathering recipe on a darker scheme like lupercal green or kantor blue? i'm putting off painting my ballistus cuz im a little scared to weather it lmao

[@cultofpaint]

You could follow these exact steps and colours for both those schemes. Just replace the light chipping colour for your highlight colour.

[@georgikens7516]

@@cultofpaint awesome!

[@musicliker1433]

Looks amazing! Does it matter what varnish surface (gloss, matte, satin) you do the dot filtering on?

[@cultofpaint]

The glossier it is the easier it is to remove from and manipulate

[@jeffholt9437]

"Cult of Paint - bringing oil and enamel techniques to the acrylic paint community since 2024" 😊 Seriously, it's the first time I've seen painting techniques usually associated with oils and enamels dond with humble old GW products - will have to give it a go!!!

[@cultofpaint]

Do, it's worthwhile even if you choose that prefer oils in the end.

[@nory79]

I love this piece! Id be interested to know though, do you have a preference between using oils or acrylics for the spotty dotty weathing effect? The techique appears to be exactly the same and I'm lucky now that I have access to both mediums at my aweome FLGS. But does one style clinch it over the other? Another awesome video, thanks Henry

[@cultofpaint]

Personal preference would be oils, but only just. theres pros and cons for both.

[@carlstanford7607]

Looks amazing

[@cultofpaint]

Thanks!

[@MAJmufin]

looks great!

[@cultofpaint]

Thanks

[@terrydactyl2077]

As someone who has suffered through carpal tunnel and RSI I am curious about the wrist strap thingy on your right arm?

[@cultofpaint]

I sometimes get it in my thumb and have found the compression gloves thing helps a lot.

[@terrydactyl2077]

@@cultofpaint right. I might try them myself. I had a brace but didn’t help. Although it wasn’t tight enough.

[@JP-dv7rf]

Incredible work as always! I'm going to be purchasing one of your airbrushes from Element soon. Do you have any airbrush primers to recommend?

[@cultofpaint]

Hi JP. We actually still use rattle cans for priming. But the Vallejo stuff is good as long as you keep it well mixed.

[@JP-dv7rf]

@@cultofpaintThank you! I must be doing something wrong because my rattle can priming has been incredibly inconsistent lol.

[@Sangredexolotl]

Wheres the big double aquilla transfer from?

[@cultofpaint]

transfer sheet that came in the redemptor box

[@dangilchrist2282]

great vid, did you use any varnish at the end?

[@cultofpaint]

Thanks. No.

[@Wijkert]

Always down for another take on yellow (armor).

[@novoeyes]

Will valejo glaze medium work in the same way as the contrast medium?

[@cultofpaint]

no, it will work more like Lahmian medium. But you could certainly try it out, it may well work just fine for this.

[@novoeyes]

@@cultofpaint appreciate the quick reply! Love the videos

Cool as always.🖌

[@Venermous_Hunter]

GG thank you, stealing for the votann lol, what pot are use using to mix the paints together? And do i need one

[@cultofpaint]

you mean the little metal dish? I f so just search "metal mixing dish for paint" and loads will show up.

[@SloppokeymaX]

One question I have is where to get the little cork handles for airbrushing I’m working on an eldar army and it would be helpful

[@cultofpaint]

I just use champagne style corks. You can buy bags of them. I glue a coin to the base to help them stand up.

[@mattsmith6514]

Maybe Henry just drinks a lot of champagne whilst painting.

[@SloppokeymaX]

@@cultofpaint thank you!

[@BarokaiRein]

Wait, do you not prime your models?

[@cultofpaint]

Its primed grey

[@xXturbo86Xx]

Nice. Although i have to say oils to a far better job in terms of weathering and depth.

[@Dave-jh7rj]

Love the content as always. But who on earth is playing 40K powerwash 🤦🏻‍♂️😂😂😂

Amazing paintjob especially because you challenged yourself not to use oils.

[@cultofpaint]

Thanks, always good to play around with different options.
