Painting Minis for Beginners - Stormcast Eternals Using ONLY the Age of Sigmar Paint Set

Naomi paints three Warhammer Age of Sigmar Stormcast Eternals Sequitors miniatures using the Starter Brush and the six paints out of the Stormcast Eternals + Paints Set by Games Workshop. Schemed the same as the box (Hammers of Sigmar) and two alternate colour schemes.

I'm not addicted to buying paints. I can stop anytime I want. Really. It's fine. ;)

[@NonSleeper_Occasional_Thinker]

.....of course you can......just like all of us.......OUUUUUUUU Look a new purple!

[@StenBjorn]

@@NonSleeper_Occasional_Thinker shortly after I posted that I found that Monument Hobbies now has a Canadian supplier for their ProAcryl line. Yeah... Totally didn't order a new set and some brushes...

[@noneofyourbusiness5392]

Yeh I've done a bit of Vallejo, but I can handle it.

[@KevinoftheCosmos]

These are the first three minis I ever painted. Good memories.

[@Deathlionknight]

Your video was suggested to me by the algo randomly, it's funny since I bought the new paint set for Stormcast Eternals and I can say I like this one better the presentation of the box and the instructions just makes it feel premium you know? I wish I could still find these old boxes in my country.

[@dracosummoner]

Naomi, I wanted to let you know how things went. I just finished up my Stormcast Eternals paint set, which is probably the first thing I've hand-painted in 15 years, and I wanted to give you a super-duper big thanks and appreciation for all your advice and especially your kind demeanor throughout this video. It's super-encouraging to know that newcomers are welcome, especially with a hobby like this that takes discipline and practice and is part of a long-running series. The prospect of having to paint the minis was daunting, to say the least, but I had a ton of fun, and I knew it was a good sign when, not even all the way through the first mini, I thought to myself, "I want to buy more minis and keep painting." And I still feel that way having finished all three. I think you and the other KZbinrs I've seen, who have been kind and patient with people wanting to learn, are going to do wonderful things for this hobby and its community. I was really impressed with the quality of the paints and the brush in the box. Given the relatively low price of the set, I feared there wouldn't be enough paint, or it would dry in the containers too quickly, or the brush would be difficult to take care of beyond scrubbing and rinsing between colors. But all of the components impressed me, and that's even with my accidentally spilling part of the Retributor Armour on a napkin, whoops! I will say I would prefer "dropper-style" paint containers, which I doubt would be as difficult to open. Thank you again so much for everything, and I wish you the best.

[@ksteelheart3113]

Really enjoyed this. You have such a lovely manner and are a breath of fresh air to the hobby. I hope the channel continues to grow. Fantastic job Naomi :)

[@diaz5292]

Indeed. If not for the adverts, this is really pleasant ASMR to doze off to sleep with.👍

[@Harko-]

Haha, I think your last comment summed up your voice over perfectly! I felt your pain. Despite (or perhaps due to) your struggles with the limited pallet, I really enjoyed the video, and learned a thing or two. Next to the box color scheme, I thought the leather version looked rather nice. That last one really could benefit from a lighter color for the cloak, or something like red. But then there were these pesky rules . . . . Thanks for the entertaining video Naomi!

[@alphaleigpyne]

That's a neat demostration of those Easy to Build Stormcast Eternal Sequitors. They are my one of my favourite kits.

[@nowthisnamestaken]

If GW would use the dang dropper bottle like everyone else, the world would be a better place.

[@XRPika]

I love your videos so much! They are great to watch for begginers and your voice is lovely! You should do a Warhammer ASMR video :)

[@MrVolvobloke]

You may have had difficulty, but they turned out really nice! Much better than I could have done.

[@craig-b6r]

These are always fun and enjoyable. Thank you for the fun time.

[@purespeculation]

I'm thinking about using that pale blue, white and gold scheme for a Sisters of Battle kill team now. Big style points for nails matching the miniatures you're painting!

[@uriance88]

A follow-up video with adding only one or 2 additional colours to demonstrate how much improvement you can make (agrax fixes everything?) over what is provided in the kit would probably be helpful for folks new to the hobby - the limitations for highlighting/shading could be frustrating for new folks causing them to consider giving up, when very minor and easy additions result in drastic improvements

[@drewadams6667]

I am so amazed at how informative and inspirational you are in these posts , combined with you beautiful face and lovely voice you were the perfect tonic for an absolutely stressful week at work. Tank you.

[@kendric2000-q3d]

The one with the blue armor and brown cloak definitely has a space marine vibe to him. :)

[@dances4980]

the one you did last was best, probably learning the scheme as you go. thanks naomi

[@jackwilliams4087]

Very impressed with the pale armour one. I've painted the four kits that came out when this did and the nurgles box was by far the easiest to match the box and there's only 5 colours and a basing paste. I'd recommend this to any one and I'd love to see you try it.

[@madquest8]

They look really good. Love the blue!

[@AdamViklund]

Nice job! I think maybe the on last, lighter guy, you could go with a black helmet and either black robe or black leg bits. That could look pretty swell!

[@loupiscanis9449]

Thank you , Lady N .

[@g.c.2581]

Good job!! You have a very soothing voice, would love to hear you do a book reading

[@dracosummoner]

Thank you so much for this super-informative video!

[@EternalQuestion]

When you're been painting for years, it's easy to forget what a struggle it must be for beginners to paint their models with a limited selection of paints. This video definitely highlights the problem! I painted some wulfen recently, and must have used at least 20 different paints. At GW prices, that's about £80 worth of paints to paint a set of models that costs £30... I know you can paint your whole army with those same colours, but it doesn't help when you're just starting out and need to paint your first unit! No wonder GW tries to get everyone to play ultramarines...

[@LeQuebecoisFou]

Great video! Helped me alot understanding the basics for my first model painting :) Thanks... Hope I dont get addicted to buying paint haha

[@davidjames7672]

God i wish D&D minis were on this scale lol

[@BloodyRedBaron-u1x]

You did well considering the very limited palette

[@EternalQuestion]

Having painted a large sacrosanct chamber stormcast army in hammers of sigmar colours, I have to say this video gives me flashbacks. Those sequitors have so many little details compared to the old liberators, plus tons of cloaks, robes and bare heads that all need to be painstakingly layered in different colours. And they are just your basic troops choice... I'm proud of my stormcast army, but I'm never painting one of those guys ever again!

[@lewisbenzie845]

Challenges make us better :D

[@ribbon_dye]

Really like the lightest one. The third? One you were doing, though I'll agree it does need something more I feel to punch up the colors, since it feels like its lacking a third shade somewhere. Totes wanna get this set though and try painting myself, but maybe only after buying more paints..

[@redfeildre349]

I'd love to see the set up you have for filming. It seems like the camera would be in the way when your painting but you don't seem to have any problem with it. What kind of camera are you using, anyway? Also, you have a very pleasant voice. Like Bod Ross pleasant. I think you may be my favorite painting channel.

[@SonsOfLorgar]

Ahh, Naomi filming a sprue of the moment ;)

[@daemonnexusknight]

Looks good, especially considering the limitations within the kit! :)

[@sharkle9]

I really like the third one with shiny gold and light blue. I have a few more paint to use so I'll try figuring out what else to add (not sure how it'll turn out but hope it'll be alright).

[@b_g_c3281]

Lady Naomi you are Amazing! "By the by" ...Have you ever considered establishing an ASMR subset/series within your channel? Your voice... is _Magickal_

[@tabletopsquire3731]

The grey gold one would look good with red or maroon on the inside of the robes while leaving the outside the lighter color

[@Taterniac]

Love the video. Hope you do more like this 😂

[@warbanda]

Hi from Ukraine. interesting color schemes 😜

[@gangstalkerofgangstalkers]

Good stuff.

[@MrPaulokf]

I believe she used Retribution Armor paint on her nails

[@noveltypenmanship]

Necessity is the mother of invention but laziness is not to be underestimated ;) Good call on the wash and the blue, will not be trying that.

[@SegFaultMatt]

The gold one overall looks good, but I think the highlights need more gradients. Via wet blending or more layers.

[@Cannonhead]

You mentioned that Riekland Fleshshade isn't a good wash for cloth, can you recommend any that are? I've just painted up an army of Admech and I'd like to improve the look of my Tech-Priests.

[@swordnsteele712]

Reikland Fleshshade can be good, if the original base colour is red, pink, or orange hued, but Rakarth Flesh doesn't have that so it would be better with an alternative wash. Which colour were you hoping to wash over?

[@SegFaultMatt]

Agrax Earthshade works for me with Reikland. But you’ll have to paint over some of the staining you’ll inevitably get.

[@Konfusion88]

I prefer Seraphim Sepia on things like Sequitor's cloth.

[@JLH111176]

Can only use the stuff that is in the box like being in a prison

[@NonSleeper_Occasional_Thinker]

Naomi.....Love your work well done, think i prefer the box-art-one, but really I cringe when they say "no primer" and by how you were limited with colour. ...Now, did you change your finger nail colour to match your painting being done, lol? Always looking for more from your videos

[@fourtwentyist]

if you hold a toothpick/cut off skewer to the rim of your paint pots you can easily poor off the amount you need it will just run down the stick to where ever you are pointing it less chance of over loading your brushes and getting the dreaded ferrule full of paint.

[@swordnsteele712]

Except, despite the toothpick, it will gather in the groove of the painting pot rim, forcing you to clean that part out every time or not be able to close your pot properly when it dries, plus causing a waste of paint, unfortunately. I would suggest using a separate larger paintbrush to dip out, or transferring the paint to a dropper bottle :)

[@thanasisgeronimos9124]

One the one you had painted rakarth flesh all over at the start, you could have used the morfang brown that you were given, the highlight to the rinox hide, and paint the spots that you painted blue...so you would have a more uniform tones of brown...although not at the same hew , the rakarth and the morfang brown look very well together...and since those two models you were doing your own thing and not the guidelines of the boxset, then a watered down version of the rinox hide would be an very good was for both those colors....

[@swordnsteele712]

The Mornfang Brown is not in this set, otherwise I certainly would have tried it out :)

[@thanasisgeronimos9124]

@@swordnsteele712 so they had rinox hide and not any other brighter brown for highlights?? Odd ... at the start the one with the rakarth and the gold was moouuuaaa

[@architectofdreams73]

do you not need to prime these minis?

[@charles_wipman]

They looked pretty well to me on the end, my fav was the golden base layer one; imo that set it's too basic, on the late 80s the 40k paintsets had 9 paints, two or three synthetic brushes and 6 recesses on the tray to make your mixes, sadly they didn't have any ink or wash... but you wasn't "that restricted..." and we're talking about when Reagan was still president belive it or not.

[@pascalrob2301]

hello Lady No undercoat first ?

[@swordnsteele712]

I would suggest undercoating with a primer first :)

[@animalyze7120]

Very Noble attempt using just the kit paints, I would say to avoid doing this and put a disclaimer for new players that a decent primer (Airbrush preferred) be used. Spray primers work well too and after a good wet sanding at 3200 or higher will produce a smooth ready to paint finish. Contrary to popular belief (Myth) in the Hobby, the smoother the better even for acrylics, the whole need pits and grooves for the paint to bite is not only wrong but should be banned from You tube. Great video as always, you really have that courage to go box only and I love it. The results aren't bad at all and table top ready easily.

[@rickschwab3963]

Hi Naomi, your really adorable ❤

[@athollmcnicoll256]

The Rakarth Flesh and Blue one looks amazing but the brown look terrible and best be avoided, in my honest opinion. But Naomi who says we need to paint mini's precisely as the box art would have, as its one's personal preference that I'd go for . Cheers....
