Repainting a Warhammer 40K Model 10+ Years Later - Did I Get Better?

[@portercore]

Man, this channel is so back to form! Well done Scott!!! Epic paint job as always. Would love to see an oils only video!

[@thekkidd3d]

Oooops, all Oils! Would be a pretty interesting video

[@caiohcoutinho]

End of the year is uppon us! We need it, Scotty... You know we need it....bring us the end of the year (not) trashy video

[@Miniac]

it is UNSTOPPABLE

[@gggfx4144]

But Scotty doesn't know ;)

[@SomeOldDutchGuy]

Nothing is as good for my mini painting confidence as seeing an expert making the same mistakes I do. To see the fix is super educational, thank you so much for being so open about the entire process.

[@nicholasvardakis9119]

WE BACK BABY

[@AustinLindstrom]

It's meaningful as a high quality painter and beloved (beloved?) content creator to show that you too can fat-trigger the airbrush and spray the ever loving crap out of a project.

[@TheFipsdotcom]

I love this type of content. Love your army projects. All of them. Great video!

[@TonyE727]

You know what, the skin might clash with the cream color armor, but this is dark eldar, theyre allowed to be a little unsettling

[@MikeGeney]

Hellllll yeah

[@BluBlazer]

That Chronos' graffiti skills are super sick Scott!! I could totally see a full army all having similar tags/graffiti in general.

[@MisterTingles]

personally, sub-assembly painting is the best way to thoroughly get to know a model, topographically/geometrically as well as painting-wise. does it make sense for every model? nah. is there a fleeting degree of satisfaction in knowing that you painted portions of it nobody will ever see? ye, kinda. is it time well spent? well, if you like painting, then yeah. if you're just trying to get models on the tabletop, then probably not so much. it can still be a worthwhile experiment and get you out of your painting routine, which is most often a good thing.

[@billdefranza4927]

20:09 this was quite a surprise since I had looked away before the warning was posted on screen 😂

[@BlindedbyDaylight]

Beautifully done, I feel the skin tone goes really well with the rest of the scheme. I guess we are all our own worst critics. Also, how long did you leave the airbrushed Molotow chrome to cure/dry before painting on it? Once again, fantastic work

[@Miniac]

That is a great question because it does matter regarding the molotow. I just left it over night one day.

[@BlindedbyDaylight]

@Miniac thank you for replying. Really good to know as I have some molotow chrome but have been hesitant to use it on miniatures because of the curing time. Thanks again, and another great video

[@thekkidd3d]

Helpful thread

[@miskatonic__]

It's going to be one hell of a drukhari army. Can't wait to see it complete!

[@piratepimm]

I know you said at the end that the color scheme didn't come together as you'd have liked, but I went "whoa cooool!" during the reveal. Looks awesome!

[@eenerzz]

Really love the format of these new videos

[@robdavis8803]

Love this, it's so entertaining watching you painting something you want to and enjoying the process towards a bigger whole. 10/10

[@CCMinis]

Those pops of teal are doing WORK! Excellent paint job

[@pscof]

I friggin love this format! I'd love to see more where you revisit old piece with new skills or ideas.

[@sipsp0ison545]

really like to see this type of video, good to see how people have changed the style over the years

[@jamieritch3668]

Loving the Eldar videos. I think the skin and armour contrast well, as the dissonance highlights the gruesomeness of the skin!

[@JohnB1163]

I think your skills have come quite aways in 10 years because that is definitely a good job on that model and even if you don't I honestly feel that the colors you chose work together quite well because some abominations are usually tones of subdued colors instead of being bright and flashy. Good job my friend keep up the good work

[@MikeScarbro]

This turned out so sick! Great work, Scott.

[@D13Hobbies]

I feel like you recent videos have been a lot more purposeful / deliberate, which is cool. It's great to hear your ongoing thought process / breakdown. :D

[@MyOwnLanguage]

I see your hard work, and dedication and I commend you! I wish you the best and much success. I often find myself studying your approach. I have found what makes me a better artist in all medias is pushing myself past my comfort zone, and trying out different approaches I see you take, definitely makes me a better painter/artist .thank you good, sir.

[@ironnmetal]

Who doesn't love a nice combination of khaki and chrome?

[@dimitrios8]

I love watching this army come together... its a really cool scheme :)

[@Calungorion]

Hey Scott, love the new Content. Had to laugh 5 times out load, because of the weird little jokes and the editing. Thanks for highlighting the amount of thought going into your airbrush placement etc. I learned so much and definitely gonna try that out myself.

[@bluenine85]

Really enjoyed the vibe and detail in this video, makes me want to paint up one of those Drukhari barges. I also dig your choice on the cables, these guys are the product of proud body horror distribution agents, of course they'll have some fancy colours

[@pierat7]

This video is great! Absolutely what I come to this channel for and some of your best work of the last year.

[@taylorparrish]

great video. I like that you mentioned how long it took you to pain the minni helps to put the paint job into prospective on the effort required to achieve the results.

[@Aisaaax]

Wow that sugil on the back is absolutely glowing! I am never brave enough to push the highlight of glowy bits to white, but this looks awesome.

[@MadassSoerensen]

Man we need some more blooper reels like the one with the grafiti! Love those tiny goof ups! The mini looks amazing well done!

[@robtibbetts890]

That mirror effect is very cool.

[@zamiyaFlow]

At long last someone shows the Commorrites some love... I mean uh horrible suffering!

[@Politov]

I see what you mean during the final look at the complete model about it not coming together, but I am with you. Having seen you go through the process, I feel like I also enjoy the final model more than I would just presented with it. (I'd still love it)

[@wolf-xf6hf]

The best thinned down oil skin recipe I’ve ever seen is from NuHue’s angron video. Its unbelievably good and although its not the exact tone you would be looking for the technique can definitely be changed by color to suit whatever skin tone you want

[@michakrupowicz8901]

If you want a nice oil paint stains that just shift the tone try first putting some enamel thinner/mineral spirits on the model, then use the oil paint thinned to the point you would thin acrylic paint, Mike Rinaldi has great videos about that

[@Gieas-x5e]

Looks great!

[@neiljudge5125]

Love this series between you and Jay. Would love an ongoing points leaderboard with bi-weekly/monthly updates!!!

[@MalcolmPugh]

That death metal growl was especially spicy! Sick paint job, bro.

[@Deanopps]

Just wanted to let you know that I've really enjoyed your content this year. You're consistantly putting out high quality videos that give me something to think about and apply to my own hobby time, whether it be a practical tip or something in theory. Much love to you Scott and others that you have putting in wotk behind the scenes. 🙏

[@heresyhobbyist]

this was chill af ty scott

[@mordecaitoth6703]

Tremendous work! Thanks for sharing!

[@crysis4561]

19:05 pure fun. as it should be

[@TattooedTabletop]

These are some of my absolute favorite videos of yours! Stoked to see your Drukhari at the end 🤘🤘

[@MarcGibson-xb1xr]

I find it really helpful to paint the same model from time-to-time. You've painted it before, so you know exactly what you're doing and you have an opportunity to try something different and can compare it directly to what you've already done.

[@chrislee7704]

Unreal video of a great paint job on a super cool model. Good job battling perfectionism too it's hard!

[@theBomblu]

MINIAC MONDAYS WOOO! The Talos turned out great, and good lord that chrome mask is SUBLIME!

[@spencerwaters9645]

I don’t agree about the color scheme not working, I think it’s great.

[@BLEHwaazaa]

if you use a stiffer bristle like a toothbrush to get better splatter with the tamiya clear red it helps a lot

[@MiniAxeCrafts]

That is such a crispy and clean result ❤‍🔥Your 10+ years ago is where I hope to be in 10 years time 😂

[@ronlasiere4114]

One thing I learned as a new airbrusher... your colors should be further apart than you might think at first. When I went at it initially, the contrast was too small and it didnt even look like an airbrush effect, just a basecoat

[@karstedt9987]

I love that freehand on the shell so much it's kind of a shame it's not a little more prominent.

[@_Bayul]

21:50 Scott, do you need table magnifying glass?

[@Miniac]

I think I'm alright

[@rileyturner6220]

This is so helpful! Thank you!

[@sinisterplank3113]

Decent compromise I've learned for those who don't use oils, if you paint the crevices you want to pin wash with a thin coat of water before dabbing in some dark tone or agrax etc, it'll get a similar capillary action as oils

[@przemekkielczewski9248]

I was waiting to see the video after seeing Instagram post this morning and It was worth to wait!

[@horationoseblower6336]

The chrome detail is awesome. It reminds me of the cover to the old film Dark Portals The Chronicles of Vidocq

[@StrawHatLaw13]

I love this content. Thank you!

[@---gk9ve]

0:21 nice and clean. directly out of factory.... edit: damn, the new version is a good paintjob

[@thesoothsayer9223]

Love to see the growth! I know many people say not to go back to old models but I'm starting to do this on my first AOS army and making changes that are light lift vs huge visual impact and I'm so glad I'm taking he plunge no ragerts

[@malcire]

I agree that the different hosing color is cooler than just making it look all metallic.

[@charliestephen4224]

More Drukhari lets go!!

[@sittingstill3578]

Have you thought that the hoses could be hydrolicly powered? So rather than just being flailing weapons they could also be used for piercing when said hoses are under full pressure. The downside is that because they are hoses they could also get punctured and become inoperable. Your _Space Bane_ is pretty cool too.

[@Miniac]

That's a cool take too!

[@MidwestWargames]

Love it scott keep the videos coming ❤

[@Hamun002]

this really made me miss painting. maybe now on break I'll bust out some old models

[@foreverfornever1124]

I really love how warm and contrasting your paint scheme is to Jay's. Also love how methodical and concrete your entire process has been, as compared to Jay's more sporadic, edgy, and experimental approach. I cant wait to see your next additions to the army as for now it looks like youre the only one producing any consistant content. Jay has been a bit radio silent on additions to his army the last few months, aside from a basing video I think

[@Miniac]

I think it's because Jay is largely done with his army? Not sure, but I definitely have some catching up to do! haha

[@foreverfornever1124]

@@Miniac oh thats a possibilty as well. I figured he would have made a big deal about it being done though knowing him lol. I think youre doing great though! Slow and steady can when races as the saying goes haha

[@FirstOHNameOfficial]

For gross skin with oil paints, definitely watch some of The Grimdark Compendiums stuff, as they mottle and stain skin almost entirely with oils!

[@benjaminjack867]

God I love this color scheme

[@DPSAX95]

Nightmare spewer is a good name for this thing. and for a death metal band

[@Miniac]

*intense vomiting sounds*

[@CreamSodaCrush]

the chrome dome is fucking sweet btw

[@Jathom]

Sometimes I really wish I'd decided on a cream armor color for my Drukhari instead of the dark blue/grey that I chose. But seeing the work that goes into making it look like this, it's probably for the best that I did not.

[@Miniac]

There are always easier ways to do things!

[@thekkidd3d]

Another great video, do like the new version. Surprise right. Saw your brush box and minis down at The Source. (They look even better in person, thanks for letting them be displayed!) How did your Shatterpoint match go? Told ya boi to crush you mercilessly lol

[@patticusfinch139]

PAINT MOAR MINIS!!!

[@Onk3lM0]

Scott, can you give us a quick "review" of how it feels to paint so many models to such a high standard? Like, are you already playing with them? That's always my problem: I want to bang out those 2000 points and play with my painted models ASAP. So for me it's always a compromise between speed and quality. I'd get disheartened painting a Cronos for so many hours just to realise that that's just 80 points and I'd have to do it all over again multiple times. So cudos to you for sticking with it! Maybe you can cut some corners with more airbrushing + oil washes in order to not go insane and/or take 100 years to complete this army?

[@RabidHobbies]

That liquid chrome looks ridiculously good. I have to imagine necrons with that and a pop of color like you did would look pretty dope. Was that hard to work with at all? Did you need to dilute with Isopropyl?

[@nadukkerensky392]

I absolutely Love it, way better than the old style and yet they can happily coexist, if you rebase the old guy it would blend right in I will probably never paint a Drukhari army but if I did it would be similar to your scheme the skin vs armor is the only real issue I see and its just a simple matter of needing separation, get some blood for the blood god and paint it kinda like a pin wash into the areas where the flesh changes to metal or armor, you were pretty much trying to do this already, just need to finish it off, don’t use your clear red and black, its not the same, it does not have that oily pull that bfbg has that makes the ick look natural the issues with your sub assembly were completely avoidable as the parts can be test fit at any time during the painting process, I suspect you just have built some weird neural path in your head that says you are not allowed to remove a model from its temp paint holder until its finished but that denies you half the power of sub assembly at the end of the day it doesn’t matter the unit looks wicked cant wait to see the next one

[@castlecrusadercrafts2841]

sickkkkk! love it

[@gutsytoadsage6497]

Let's Goooo!

[@VAB0L0]

They don't call it a pain engine for nothing!

[@NickMK]

Leaving oil washes to dry over night is gonna make it difficult to clean it up. Wait until it looks dry, which is like half an hour, it will stay in the recesses, you won't soak up, but also it willl be much easier to remove where you want to remove it

[@Miniac]

Difficult to clean up on a matte surface* Glossy surface cleans up great and could probably even go longer! Just correcting in case anyone reads the comment and misses that part of the vid 🤘

[@caiohcoutinho]

Are you feeling well Scotty? Bit too tired maybe? Hope you're well!

[@matthewthomas66]

Taking a shot every time Scott says nice. I'm not making it to the end of the video.

[@keego0069]

Looking sweet! Can I ask your method for changing colors in the airbrush? I feel it takes me forever to have it clean enough to use again without having my last color in (when not doing steps of course)

[@nicholasvardakis9119]

@7:13 I usually use a guitar pic, which i might have learned from you years ago lol

[@tosteson1]

This is amazingly gross. Love it. I think the bold color choice works.

[@nornironlad8472]

Great video. Perhaps bring togeter the elements with some undershot inks on the finished model??? Also. Star Wars just isn't as interesting visually as Warhammer, Infinity, Malifaux or cyberpunk subjects as it is much more monochromatic and much more realistic rather than fantasical in its colour palette - at least that is my take😁

[@rileyraccoon9673]

Absolutely disgusting work, Scott. NOICE!

[@Gooch359]

4:22 16 hours Scott, it took 16 hours 😂.

[@andydogdad4349]

Yes the new version is better. That being said..... the old version still looks great!!!

[@morerobotwarscontent1476]

Over a decade painting the army, no way you're passing that first 2plus invun on the lord

[@samd5466]

🎉🎉🎉

[@WinbackRpgRad]

AAAH! It happened! Absolutely disgusting. In the most positive way. :)

[@SinEternal808]

Would love to see you do a full graffiti theme. Some diorama or giant craft/mech.

[@snowy5628]

What was the white wash product you used scott?

[@Miniac]

It was a white wash from Lethal Shadows

[@kno0ne]

🤘

[@talonjansen8926]

Nightmare spewer. Yeah that happens sometimes with combat drugs. 😂

[@kennyclaing4923]

Comparing both of your drukhari armies, it looks like yours is more focused on quality over quantity, you are a lot more delicate with every little details, blending and everything, whilst Jay seems to paint a lot more in less time because he goes for a faster approach. Honestly, I can’t say which one I prefer, I’m leaning towards your army because I love seeing a more slow painting approach, but for the sake of this challenge, I think Jay is a lot more efficient in his. Anyway, just wanted to say that because even if you don’t win this friendly competition, you will still end up with an amazing army because you put time and effort into.

[@Miniac]

It's always a struggle trying to find a balance when painting an army. Definitely still a skill I'm learning.

[@kennyclaing4923]

⁠​⁠@@Miniacabsolutely, that’s why I still have no painted army yet, only some pro painted heroes here and there !

[@SirWilliamtheBold]

AYOOOO

[@trisbane4086]

Scott, you are a good painter. I do have some feedback for you, though: at least this model, looks very flat. Your values are all way too close together. Check your model in black and white and you’ll see. If a paint job has improper values, it will look shit. I would drop all the oil paints, decals, goo glue, and airbrushing and just study values with a brush so that they’re far enough part to create good contrast. Also you should learn to mix your colors from primaries since you alluded to struggling with it in your Alien diorama video.
