Painting Leagues of Votann - HC 364

[@Mikey__R]

I can't believe Squats were two years ago. How time flies.

[@Curran_Kleen_Brown]

Love seeing more Dwarves - even if they are Space Dwarves- on the channel! This is tempting me more to buy some Leagues of Votann kits myself to paint up

[@Wijkert]

Beautiful orange Vince! Getting autumn vibes from the color.

[@oleww50]

Final apocalypse comments were hilarious! Great vid once again thanks! ✌️

[@phoen31]

I love what you did here. I will never be that great at painting, but I do find your work inspiring.

[@VinceVenturella]

Don’t say never, I have no great talent or innate skill, it’s just time and practice. :)

[@codelicious6590]

Those figures look damn good enough to eat!

[@Regeadg]

Panel lining and base rimming are sooo satisfying because they both use the bestest colour - black!

[@kevinengel2134]

Thanks for the Orange tutorial! I’m painting my Stormcast in a very similar fashion right now. Just teal instead of blue for the complimentary color.

[@crashingatom6755]

Looking lovely. I can’t wait to see the Votann blasted off the table. 😂

[@duxbellorum01]

Looks great, Vince! Love painting orange

[@crimsontietv]

Good video, very excited about the dwarfs entering your content :) hope my box arrives soon

[@TheGeppywizard]

Perfect timing! I'm just about to paint my Ironhead Squats for Necromunda and thought, "I don't do enough orange...let's go bright-AF safety orange!"

[@travislankford9254]

Awesome video with great tips. Love the time stamps. Love the orange. Love seeing the H&S in action. Great video all around Vince; keep being awesome and paint those space dorfs big guy!

[@hobbithubby5076]

4:14 Maybe black rimming a base. Maybe. In all seriousness, thanks for all the technical videos you do. It’s because of your tutorials, I’ve had more confidence in using products like oil paints and pigments to grow as a miniature hobbyist.

Well painted mate!

[@filipkovacec5759]

Looking forward to all of your new videos! Great one as always♥

Love the airbrush steps...would like to see them more integrated in other videos 👍

[@JSL480]

Going too use your teal HC episode to start working on these for a friend today.

[@JSL480]

and the bots have entered the chat...

[@RAINBOWBEARMAN]

cant wait to see more space dwarves from you

[@ODonnchadhaBrian]

Damn man, I was going to just ignore the space dwarves... until this vid.

[@Qiinsr]

Love to see more of thé Space Dwarfs.

[@benstaffordson7163]

For anyone looking for the paint list, a couple of paints weren't on the paint list but were used - pro acryl dark camo green and AK interactive ivory at the start, citadel rhinox hide, and then GSW gold pigment/vallejo gold.

[@crazyhorse-us3ng]

I wish you had made this video a year ago. This armor is the exact color I wanted to paint my Stormcast army but just couldn't get the color right. You nailed the orange just perfectly.

[@odeegrotsniffer4166]

I love the Votann! Also, I am loving Space Station Zero!

[@jarettduker1507]

The problem with this dwarf is that it is not only a gorgeous paint job, but the extreme casualness with which Vince produced it hurts my pride and soul.

[@Izzyspaintingworkshop]

Great video as always!

[@foreverfornever1124]

Was looking forward to you finally getting a box set! I'm equally excited about these guys as well! Im a huge fan of dwarves in fantasy and to have them in 40k again has me stoked! I got a couple Hearthkyn warriors for free today at a WH store. Im sadly unable to purchase any of the models for the rest of the year, so Im happy to be able to build and paint something haha

[@shankley_has_a_brush]

I've never wanted to paint a dwarf until now.

[@thel1chking]

Check out Sons of Ymir by Highlands Miniatures, best dwarves on the market .

[@br42]

Wow, that's it. You've committed yourself to painting the entire army to that standard. 😬

[@TheDudeWhoLikesVHS]

Looks awesome

[@philgee486]

Models are way better looking than spacemarines but I hate dwarf proportions and the cliché fluff. I absolutely love that orange armour tho Vince, masterful work, one of the most thoughtfully developed hues that I can actually make happen. I'll now pick an army, buy the inks and go for it en masse. Entirely down to you. Huge thanks

[@ElectronHexagon]

I do a mix of Satin and Gloss 50/50 AK varnish for my metalics and it comes out pretty good. I don't want to deal with paint rubbing off with table top use.

[@VinceVenturella]

Fair enough, I don’t find it necessary, never had paint run off of anything.

[@KellyNGabe502]

Hey Vince, I just found your videos, dude I know you from somewhere. It’s been a while. Great stuff by the way! You’ve got some serious talent! Names Kelly.

[@cliffwood7386]

Very well done. I agree that the models are really eye-catching - I don't even play 40K and I've considered getting the box! Getting a cool idea for the armor is going to be pretty key I think - the models that aren't armored up (berserkers and the kill team iirc) aren't nearly as attractive.

[@TheMiniMadCat]

Decals on cam are indeed a pain in the ass

[@rickohanlon3370]

Nice, I think the squats buy their armour from the same shop as Space Marines though 🤔🤔

[@stephenwood6665]

Would love to see you paint the rest of the box

[@VinceVenturella]

Oh, it will happen for sure, just trying to decide on a final scheme.

[@KameradArktis]

i love how oil wash/ panel line works but mine run all over the model and makes it all grungy

[@VinceVenturella]

The key is a sharp brush and the right consistency of the wash, it sounds like yours is too thin, too much white spirits as opposed to paint.

[@southpaw5483]

Any advantage to applying a Gloss Varnish before the "Oil Wash" to aid the flow into the panel lines/nooks/crannies?

[@VinceVenturella]

I used satin, that will generally do the same thing, you can use gloss, but gloss alone I find to be a bit much. You saw things flowed just fine here.

[@southpaw5483]

@@VinceVenturella Thank you Vince, appreciate your time and patience.

[@rmorgan105]

Love it

[@Mikey__R]

No slap chop for Vince.

[@tx_marauder]

Maybe LoV will be the gateway drug that leads you to doing Fyreslayers. I would love that.

[@VinceVenturella]

There is officially a 0% chance of that. I hate those models.

@@VinceVenturella I hated green beans when I was a kid. Now I love them. They may grow on you.

[@samuelpettinato3489]

Vince said "do-do"

[@razielthewraith2042]

Beautiful job, Vince! It's always such a pleasure and an inspiration to watch a master like yourself at work. I have a very low-level question, if I may ask... It looks like you've attached the model to an unfolded paper clip, stuck into a cork: how is the paper clip then attached to the model? Do you drill a hole in the sole of the boot that's slightly smaller than the diameter of the paper clip head and jam the paper clip in there, or is a glue or adhesive of some sort involved?

[@cliffwood7386]

I've done both - I'd recommend pinning into the model if you have a good place for it. Just glue seems to always come off at an inopportune time (though for resin/metal models it can be easier). I usually make a hole the same size or slightly larger than a paperclip/staple, then glue it inside. When I'm done I can either cut it off, or more likely use it as a pin into the base.

[@VinceVenturella]

So I have videos on pinning models, watch those. But yes, just drill up into the foot and then super glue it in.

[@dannythompson9642]

👍👍

[@Deus888]

Fantastic work

[@Loki61642]

Great video, I really love the use of the airbrush in this and I'm looking forward to trying out something similar myself - thank you! Do you have a video anywhere where you explain how to mix up the black oil wash? I've been doing my Tau panel lines with agrax earthshade and it takes way more work and doesnt flow as nicely as your black panel lining here so i'd love to try something different.

[@VinceVenturella]

So I showed it a little here, but I go into more detail in this video - kzbin.info/www/bejne/pYLQmZaJh9ichtE

[@Loki61642]

@@VinceVenturella Thats exactly what I was looking for - Thanks!

[@volten7150]

Hi Vince, thanks for the tutorial, loved the orange. Wish you'd mentioned a little more about the base. Really like the cogs. Where did you get them from?

[@Serpsor]

the base is from another recent video

[@VinceVenturella]

This video right here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZyZl2Rmec-npdE

[@tikiclock]

@VinceVenturella Hi Vince, I went out and bought the exact paints you used for this video, but I seem to be having problems getting the same orange you get. at about 2:30 in the video you say 'previous mix + cold yellow', is that a 1:1:1 mix of vallejo red ink + daler red earth + kimera cold yellow or 1:1:2?

[@VinceVenturella]

Roughly the first, but it's always just a bit of mixing, I don't do exact measurements, if it's close, you'll be just fine. :)

[@christianschmidt1784]

Did you spend extra time on getting the paint job so good or is this new design making it look so nice? It feels like your already high quality is up even more on this one. Very well done

[@VinceVenturella]

Thanks, there really wasn’t much extra time, I just think these are great sculpts

[@Votann]

Vince, how do you pluck up the courage to do metallics after a final varnish? What would your process be if you made a mistake? This scares the living daylights out of me! Would welcome your encouragement/advice.

[@VinceVenturella]

I don’t understand, I varnish repeatedly often. :) - it makes it easier to use metallics. If they go somewhere you don’t want, you can just flood the area and erase with your brush without damaging the underlying layer because of the varnish.

[@Votann]

@@VinceVenturella Thank you for the response to my (admittedly clunky) question! I think my concern would be damaging the varnish or the paint where I try to remove the metallic. How would you remove any mistakes with a metallic paint without damaging the varnish or underlying layers? Say, if it had already dried a little?

[@dsanchez23fight]

Another great vid. Just curious, what does your "pile of shame" or backlog of painting projects look like?

[@VinceVenturella]

Honestly, with a couple weeks on the road, there were several projects backed up, but generally, I keep it pretty slim, one project at a time. :)

[@mindyfranke5279]

Great video, Vince! I'm a newer painter and having a challenge learning to thin paints properly and then edge highlight. For edge highlights, how runny do you make your paints? I'm using acrylics (not nearly advanced enough yet to even think about trying oil washes). :) Hope you have a great weekend.

[@VinceVenturella]

I have multiple videos in the playlist about edge highlight, so check those out. But generally, a standard layer consistency.

[@alexgoode783]

Did you ever end up painting an army of this Vince? Can't see a video for it.

[@VinceVenturella]

Never did a whole army sadly, couldn't find a full scheme I really loved.

[@alexgoode783]

Thanks@@VinceVenturella, been struggling to find a colour scheme I like. Was thinking of a purple armour pushing to warm highlights, until I found this video - I really liked how rich the orange was vs other orange schemes out there, but I'm not sure I could scale a similar orange scheme across an army (within my current skillset and hobby time), so was keen to understand if you'd managed it. Great video either way, thanks again!

[@vicenterodrigo6985]

Hello Vince! I am happy you liked the new dwarfs. Have you read the new codex? Some people have said that this new army es super powerful and can break the game, what are your thoughts on this subject?

[@VinceVenturella]

I don’t play 40k right now, just paint it, so I have no real opinions on this sadly.

[@prickswithstix1113]

The bitchen base!!! Thanks for the video. I think I enjoyed your excitement more than this model. Once again you have added to my knowledge for practice!

[@Baleandor]

I know Tamiya acrylic isn't "true" acrylic but have you played around with their Gold Leaf? If so, what are your thoughts on it?

[@VinceVenturella]

Haven’t tried it yet. I’ll have to give it a look.

[@parodycalfilms]

Are there any resources on unconventional basecoating like green under orange? I've also heard of pink under yellow. I can't wrap my head around when you want to do this instead of using a darker version of the midtone, or how to choose the color.

[@VinceVenturella]

I want to do a whole video around it sometime, but my best advice until then is just experiment, think about what’s on the opposite side of the color wheel or near that and how it can help set shadows.

[@gutssubz8232]

Hi Vince. Hope you're doing well. With the 'Vince Gold' (which is what it should be known as), what is the difference betwen using antique gold pigment GSW and gold pigment GSW? Gold pigment seems a little 'whiter' if you know what I mean. Gonna buy them and not sure if it's worth getting both. Also, do you have a recipe for bronze using the pigment?

[@VinceVenturella]

They are both very similar, just slightly different tones, I like both, but you don’t need both.

[@nickstefer4517]

any recommendations to paint purity seals? I would like to use AK Pale sand as my end highlight/colour, Cant find a nice base colour from AK to use.

[@VinceVenturella]

Something like cork as a base, then to buff then to pale sand

[@xommul79]

Great job vince, how long did it take? How would you do the base troops quicker?

[@VinceVenturella]

This wasn’t that long, I would follow the same process for all of the troops honestly.

[@kardrellik]

What brand is the "cold yellow" you use? Similar to Ice Yellow (vallejo model color)? or What could you recommend as a warm yellow?

[@VinceVenturella]

I’m this case. Pastel yellow from AK. Warm Yellows such as any ochre from most ranges will do you fine.

[@mdk5201]

Hi Vince V, Kinda offtopic but still a question that i have and no answers founds so far. Im starting a gloomspite gitz army (i love the goblins and dont care about losing) and i want to paint my gitz with light of the bad moon shining upon them. Would you paint a regular cold light (bluish on them) or do feel like it has to have a little bit greenish in it aswell? Kinda clueless about it and would like to hear your opinion on it!

[@VinceVenturella]

I would just use a universal cold highlight like a glacier blue or something, you are integrating that into your green skin tone and building up.

[@mdk5201]

I was always taught that you can't paint acrylic over oils, so . . . you can? I've been taught wrong? Do these have helmet options?

[@VinceVenturella]

You can paint acrylics over oils as long as you’ve let them cure completely (a varnish over that helps as we’ll before acrylic). Yes, they have helmet options as well (this hero does not, but most troops do)

[@Katzophant]

How do you thin the Airbrush paint here? Do you use only thiner, water or glaze medium?

[@VinceVenturella]

Standard thinner mix, 80/20 thinner/flow improver.

[@puntedagain398]

Looks fantastic! When you do a directional light source in an army, do you keep it mostly consistent throughout all the figs? Or is it ok to mix it up (some figs light from left, some soft overhead, some light from right, etc.)?

[@VinceVenturella]

Consistent throughout the force.

I use Vallejo metal color gold but it doesn’t seem to stand out very well like my metal color silver and steel is it possible to get a bad batch of metal color?

[@VinceVenturella]

A bad batch of any paint is always possible. That being said, if it says new formula on the side, it will be different. To get a good gold, you either need to mix it with some VMeC copper or a little green stuff world copper pigment to punch it up. I have a whole video on marking the best gold. :)

why paint the green and then paint over it with white, struggling to understand this?

The white is not covering everything, it’s a zenithal, the green remains in the shadow, when the red/orange goes over top, it produces a ticker shadow than black.

Generally I just try to utilize the right tool for the right job. Same reason I use a car when I need to go far instead of walk or a washer and dryer instead of the creek behind my house. :)
