With a new army like this and almost no lore published as canonical any scheme goes. I've seen some good ones but this is great!

Ikr! The Urani got all of like two maybe three images in the codex showcase :(

Really good quality video with the narration, audio, and info banners. The painting is also really clean. I like that you use a bunch of different techniques in the video, most channels just do one style like speed painting contrasts or pure zenithal airbrush etc. You'll be raking in the view in no time. Keep up the great work! I'd love to see non traditional votann schemes if you ever get a chance. I feel like we have a bunch of faction specific videos on the web but not a lot of custom tutorials to showcase different styles.

Thank you so much for the support! Feedback helps a ton too so thats a huge help :) As for diff schemes, i do eventually want to make some custom dwarves once i finally have a 2k points army list together (Votann points costs are lowwww) I just finished the fallout show and one of the theories behind the enclave was they were using the vaults to test out how generation ships would work so they could start again on a planet elsewhere (i believe this was from fallout 2 and is since not the case) So i want to do a force or maybe just a kill team of some Vault Tec votann

I was looking for some colour schemes for my Votann. Started with one and applied Straken Green as I wanted a military green as a base. Couldn't get my mind set on additional colors. Out of the blue, KZbin recommended your video and now I have some inspirition for colors. would a blueish cloak also work for the greatcoats of the Hernkyn Pioneers and the soon te be released Hernkyn Jaeger? Just wondering. :)

[@VanCityMinis]

Blue should work fine it really depends on the tones. My gut says a deep blue base would work well as it's close to purple which compliments green so well. While a bright vibrant blue may be out of place That being said there's something very good looking about leather greatcoats over a military green armour

Do you use the ultra matte varnish on the metals? I have done that and it kills the shine. Do you brush or airbrush it on?

[@VanCityMinis]

I do matte the metals as well as I typically use nuiln oil washes and they tend to be glossy so the matte helps reduce the extra gloss. It does create a more worn or used metal, great for the USRS but if you want more gloss to the metals you can mask the areas off before the varnish and gloss varnish the metals after I use an airbrush for ease of use sake. Brushing works as well but may need two coats 4 hours apart
