How I Paint Things - Speed Freeks Ork Bikers

[@anthonymangia8890]

You just made painting the whole Speed Freeks box look not so daunting! One of the best tutorials I’ve seen for the warbikers, I’m gonna apply it to the buggies. Thanks!

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

I try to make sure that things look good on the table, without the resources and time that the 'Eavy Metal team has available to them. ;D Nothing beats a rough old brush you can bash around some!

[@andreasmedack7148]

I absolutely love the way you enjoyed your path trough the painting. This was like a warm cocoa in front of the hearth while listening to some amazing tipps and tricks. Thank you for that!

[@venom663]

Did anyone else see the scarab swarm spy walk past the palette at 10.14 😁

[@j.taylor7361]

I love this video! I chose to paint my Warbikers red, but I think I chose too dark of a red and didn’t take into account how much darker the Agrax would make it. Lessons learned!

[@davidstone3698]

Love the videos mate. Your voice is super relaxing! You gone dun it yella git,red wuns go fasta!

[@erics745]

One of the best tutos i have watched so far ...congrats

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

Hoping it helps put some more Orks on the table out there! :D

[@takerofheads]

That yellow is lovely. I'm mainly and admech guy with a bit of Harlequins on the side. But my long term goal was always to graduate to bad moon orks some day. I always worried about weathering models, but this was soo straight forward. Cheers.

[@maj187]

Another great video

[@jonathanpack5444]

You're a lifesaver, this is an awesome technique for quickly painting up Orks! I love your quick and dirty, yet extremely visually appealing guides, keep up the awesome work!!

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

For me, the irregularity is what really makes it work for Orks. Any other army and I'd probably want a much smoother finish, but just splodging it on to an Ork bike feels right - as if they're not going to just daub it on from the bucket with the nearest Grot, right? :D

[@Kajiau]

Just had to say thank you for this video, particularly the process on the yellow, looking to start a bad moons army and finding a good method for yellow that looks that good has been a huge challenge. You did the same for me with your Cadian painting process as well, thank you!

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

Yellow can be a real pain in the neck if you're looking to get a smooth finish with it, but I think for Orks there's something to be said for slapping it on and having it look 'just about right.' No mukkin' about wiv fancy zoggin' nonsense! ;D

[@samstugan6279]

I LOVE how that yellow turned out. Can’t wait to use your technique on my models!!

[@benrichardson5662]

This may sound weird but your voice makes painting this sound super fun.

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

Aah, but it is fun! ;)

[@guillaumeq1153]

Hi from France ! Thank you so much for this video. I learn so much thanks to you

[@itsarchie1261]

I love this! Painting some Bad Moon vehicles at the moment and been finding getting a good yellow down such a painful and time consuming task, I knew there had to be more efficient ways to do it and you've shown me one of them. Huge thanks! :D

[@bitzbox]

That yellow has come out lovely. Nice work

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

I was a little surprised at one point - I really thought I should have stuck to Tyrant Skull at first, but everything came out in the wash. ;)

[@cthuludreams1]

Great tutorial! This new box game has me digging out my Boyz!

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

Yessss! I'm expecting we'll see a lot of new Ork players come to the table and that can only be a good thing. More bosses for DA GREEN TIDE!

[@BigBwanaBen]

Looking great as always!

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

Thank you kindly! Can't beat simple if you just want toys on the table. :D

[@russ5838]

Love your work m8ty makes it easy for me to paint my minis following your tutorials, keep up the good work.

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

Can't beat the easy way. :D Glad to help!

[@TheSupertedd]

Thanks for the walkthrough!

[@bosshogg8273]

Brilliant. Looks great, I'll be stippling away soon.

[@zm0rc]

Another awesome video as usual.

[@ForeverBeGamer]

Awesome tutorial! That blotting technique looks very useful. Yeah I'm looking forward to the Speed Freaks box set. Looks like a fun game. I'm really tempted to create a Speed Freaks buggy army now lol.

[@Vidve]

My girlfriend'll enjoy this painting guide for sure given her ork obsession!

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

More Orks in the world can only be a good thing! :D

[@gedmcloughlin866]

Cant wait to watch this full video. Sadly stuck in work right now. Looks totally awesome dude!! (As usual!)

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

All the usual caveats apply, of course. It's not going to win any prizes, but they look good and grimy on the table when they're done. :) Plus it's relatively quick to pull off, and works with all the major colour groups!

[@gedmcloughlin866]

@@SonicSledgehammerStudio I think your style of painting is far more useful and relevant to the majority of painters and collectors. Especially the ones starting out new. I always felt intimidated by the 'eavy metal style tutorials.

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

I think there's a lot of value in some of the other tutorials out there, particularly Warhammer TV's guides, since they're showing in detail how they achieve their own results, too. But you're right in that I think it can be a little off-putting to someone getting started when each step looks pristine alongside the next. My style looks like the dog's dinner until the last couple of brush strokes, which I think goes to show you can just clip along at your own pace as long as you're enjoying it!

[@gedmcloughlin866]

@@SonicSledgehammerStudio you're too hard on yourself. Far better than "a dogs dinner"... yeah it's not gonna win you a golden daemon award... but an army painted to this quality looks superb on any battlefield. Keep up the great content!!

[@thequestbro]

There are no good guys and bad guys, just a good fight and a less good fight.

[@PaintPlastic]

Looks great; might do something similar on some killa kans

[@full_of_blood]

I'm working on some traitor guard and the vehicles that I'm making are supposed to look pretty beat up, so this should help a lot. Thanks!

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

Good show! This works on just about anything, but I find for those really battered, poorly maintained vehicles this is a treat. Nice and simple, just don't be afraid to lay an old brush on the chopping block to make something useful out of it.

[@andyswarbrick7452]

Excellent as always. Could you do some more vehicles please, rhino chassis or Russes. I always learn from your techniques. Thanks.

[@TheSalem777]

Awesome as usual!, Thanks so much!

[@NerdNewsToday]

Question about super-gluing, and something I have wondered about sub-assemblies too - when people use super glue to hold something in place (such as a sub-assembly part), how easy is it to actually remove from the glued part? Should it be super glue and not plastic glue? I was planning on just using that blue-tack stuff to avoid more gluing, what say ye?

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

When plastic glue sets the bond is essentially both plastic surfaces 'melted' together, while superglue will split with some pressure in the right place. For the sake of painting in sub assemblies, though, blu-tac will do the job just fine. It's really a matter of preference.

[@gianlucatesta4692]

Love your videos man, I'm so tempted to buy speed freaks right now

[@jmarcin]

Thanks for this video. I wish I'd watched this before painting my Bad Moons Shokkjump Dragsta. I really had a difficult time with the yellow (Averland Sunset and all other yellows thereafter), and while it didn't turn out terribly, I'm not thrilled about it either. This video would have saved me a lot of time and frustration. I'm glad the bikes will be okay though!

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

Yellow's one of those colours where I think it helps to have a vision of what you're looking to achieve in mind. Personally, the 'Eavy Metal style of Ork painting is always a little too clean for me, but they do need to show off all the detail in the kits! When I've got them in my own grubby hands, the grimier, grungy appearance is a heck of a lot easier than layering up with nineteen coats of yellow... ;D

[@elNervino]

Great vid! Thx

[@IDICBeer]

Great job mate, very nice painting

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

Thanks a lot! These bikers are something else. I remember when the kit came out and I still get a blast from painting them up. :D

[@Ironwolf1988]

Sehr sehr cooles Tutorial. :) Du hast grade den Startschuss für meine Freebooters gegeben :D

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

Ich danke Ihnen! Zeigen es mir wenn Sie fertig sind! Hoffentlich mein Deutsch ist noch nicht so schlecht. :D

[@Ironwolf1988]

Oh Sorry - I thought u were German, cause the description on the Kraftkleber is in German. My Bad.^^ Thanks anyway :D

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

Funnily enough, I still remember UHU in the toolbox at my grandparents place, back in New Zealand. It's good glue! ;) I live in Deutschland now, though - ich muss mein Deutsch verbessern!

[@boden_gamerboy6139]

nice video. currently my father and i are looking for ideas for my "spores of anarchy" western galaxy shrooms of doom charter.

[@OrrgunUK]

Ah the agrax moment is always a pleasure

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

Take a shot whenever the shade brush comes out. ;)

[@johnkelley9877]

It looks great! Would the method you used for the yellow work on Imperial Fist? The Cassendora Yellow really makes it stand out.

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

The Casandora Yellow would probably work well over a drybrush, but I'm not sure the stippling would be the place to start unless you wanted some seriously grunge looking Fists. Though that does seem to be in vogue occasionally! Might be worth a shot all the same.

[@danielwright9280]

I'll be giving This a try me dude

[@tjbarke6086]

10:13 interloper!

[@zm0rc]

Sonic, what'd you do to do their bases? Is that armageddon dust or whatever the texture one is called?

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

Yup! Armageddon Dust, then Seraphim Sephia all over, drybrushed with Tyrant Skull. Nice and quick, and suits just about anything.

[@zm0rc]

@@SonicSledgehammerStudio perfect, thank you sir!

[@ValkGame]

*squints* Yellow on black? What sorcery is this?

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

That, my friend, is the magic of Averland Sunset. ;D

[@ValkGame]

Sorcery! ... my yellows are either old or airbrush paint, I'll have to add it to the shopping list.

[@NerdNewsToday]

10:13 Random New Zealand wildlife walks across bottom right of frame. Blimey!

[@darrenmcnally82]

Nice video how did you do the base Thank you

[@realgitz55]

Hi, how would you go about painting the raptors chatper power armour because the gw version of going over and recess shading is quite annoying

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

I'd use the same technique as I would for Crimson Fists, Blood Angels, Salamanders - all the same method! Basecoat, drybrush then shade for the armour. For Raptors I'd start from Death Guard Green, do a very light edge drybrush of Underhive Ash and then shade the whole thing in Athonian Camoshade. If you wanted a slightly less bright edge you could try Nurgling Green.

[@realgitz55]

@@SonicSledgehammerStudio thank you very much :)

[@MilkyPerfected]

I was going to do a genestealer cult based on either a volcanic mining planet or a frozen wasteland. Either way, I wanted the metal to look glowing hot or frosted over, depending on where i choose to place them. Any ideas on how i could achieve either technique?

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

This one stumps me! To be honest, I'm not sure how I'd do hot metal without it looking like I'd painted it orange, and the chilled-over effect would be similarly difficult, I guess? This might be one for Uncle Google. You've got me there!

[@darkowl9]

One way that I can think of is perhaps to paint it in a scheme that has some neutral parts, but that you can then apply several thinner layers of a glaze with, so that it looks like it's "lit" from a side by warmth or cool, depending on what you're going for. Similar to how Sorastro glazed IG-88 from Imperial Assault (can look it up here on YT), though there he was going for the popular "orange/blue" feel so popular in movie artwork :)

[@sztachu]

Will You do painting videos of new Nightvault's warbands ?

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

To be totally honest, probably not. The Shadespire scene around here is a little lacking and the new miniatures aren't really my style to begin with. Between them and all the other stuff coming out lately, something's got to give!

Hiya, just to let you know i'm subbed but this video didn't show up in my feed. I've turned on notifications. Just another "self-own" by KZbin btw , love the messy pant on the Ork stuff, always bothered me that the GW paint jobs seem very neat for Orks.

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

Huh. Odd! Not sure what I can do about it from my end, but thanks for letting me know! I'll keep an eye on things and if anything unusual pops up I'll... shake my fist and curse KZbin, I guess. ;D

[@richardkerr4458]

lf possible could you please show how to paint ork boyz

Haha. Uhu. Classic glue here in Germany :)

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

Wirklich alleskleber! ;D

[@paulvandekamp6774]

No clue how you keep doing this, I love the instructions and all but you always have 1 colour on the model that I really don't like. For 90%of the video. Then you add 2 layers and everything comes together. This entire video I was thinking o hated the green and then you fix it in 2 layers... you sir are a magician

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

Crack up. ;D It might sound trite, but it's true that 'you're not finished until you're finished.' Sometimes those first couple of layers can look horrible, but you've got to keep the faith and trust that following the next couple of steps will give you the look you want! Trust me!

[@dominuslogik484]

my right ear enjoyed this video

[@OrrgunUK]

I wonder how that yellow would look on a marine, hmm

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

This method would look a little too patchy on a Marine to work, I think. Unless you were deliberately going all-out grimy and battered, but then I'd probably start from an Averland Sunset spray and stipple on a brighter yellow instead - start higher and do some even more lurid highlights!

[@Re5pawning]

Why is this not red?

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

Not all Ork clans paint their vehicles red. The Bad Moons paint theirs yellow!
