Speed Painting | Age of Sigmar | AoS | Dominion | Vindictors | Stormcast Eternals

watching that gold go down was so satisfying

[@MrPuzzles]

So.......as quick as this is, it's not the world's most economical technique lol. Contrast paints are by far the most expensive by Citadel, and this one miniature alone would cost...$35. On JUST the contrast paints. I'm not even factoring in army painter stuff since most everyone who's into this would already have all that. This is....*not* a good guide, or tutorial, or whatever. This is a sales pitch, pure and simple.

[@WatchItPaintIt]

I’m not quite sure why you think this. I didn’t buy any extra paints for this :D I had them all, I paid for them all myself… I doubt I’m the only person who already owns all this stuff and paid for it themselves? I’m sorry you think it’s a sales pitch for some reason! Also, don’t negate your time… saving myself an hour per miniature is worth more than the cost of paints to me! Although, I can very much appreciate not everyone has the same time:cost ratios!

[@magicravioli7077]

Never seen anyone painting contrast over metallic paint. Came out great! Nice work.

[@WatchItPaintIt]

We've played around with putting contrast over a few different colors. It's works well at tinting a bright silver :)

[@sheppardsflock]

Wonderful work! I liked that you went a different way than what most have done with the Stormhosts. Not the typical RetributorArmor, and/or Liberator Gold. A very different take, and a welcome one at that. Cheers!

[@WatchItPaintIt]

Thanks! Yeah I’m getting really into speed painting so enjoying experimenting with various things to try and get paint on quicker

[@Spacefrisian]

Iam painting mine like the first Hoplite image i found on google, cause they remind of those, lots of brown, red and bronze (but its actually drybrushed gold, cause Stormcast)

[@brianlewandowski3342]

Great videos, nice to see some speed painting techniques and I really appreciate the tips on using contrast paints!

[@thebrewgeek]

Looks fantastic. I’d like to hear more about the base. 👍👍

[@WolfTau]

I do like this technique. Do more as I purchased Dominion as well. LIKED AND SUBSCRIBED

[@HeatherSanto]

Wow, that Nazdreg yellow plus silver base looks amazing. I never would have thought of that. This mini looks like it took hours to look that good and you did it on 30 minutes! That is nuts! They look so good!!

[@WatchItPaintIt]

Thanks Heather! Yeah I was dreading painting these as I didn’t think I could achieve a speed that would make me happy. But I’m thrilled with the time and results, I just built another 2 to paint up for fun! I’ve painted more Eternals than Orruks now!! :-D

[@HeatherSanto]

@@WatchItPaintIt That is awesome!!! I am excited to see the completed armies!!

[@jonathonelgie9788]

Your work on dominion is giving me hope of finishing it myself!

[@WatchItPaintIt]

I thought the same! But then I look at the big pile still left to go and think I may never finish an army :-D we can do it!!!

[@hawvius7543]

Very nice paintjob! I like a bright silver drybrush before the yellow, some more depth and looks even more shiny. Will try all the edge highlights on my next one. Keep up the great work!

[@WatchItPaintIt]

Oooh I like that idea. Hadn’t thought of doing the dry brush before the yellow! I’ll have to try that out. I feel like the contrast paint will cover it up a lot tho! But I still wanna see :-)

[@mih2]

Super achievable paint job. Tried the new AP metallic speed paints on these figs yesterday. Your solution works so much better.

[@WatchItPaintIt]

Did you prime in white or silver for the metallic Speedpaints? Very interesting to know. I think if I can prime silver I’d do it this way. On a miniature with little bits of metallics I’d use the Speedpaint option

[@mih2]

@@WatchItPaintIt I slapchopped it with black, a light grea and white, expecting more of a contract from the speedpaints. There was very little to no contrast. You live and learn.

[@WatchItPaintIt]

@@mih2 ahhhh! Yes! The metallics contrast is really subtle. You need to shake it really well (like normal) but you need to shake right up to the second you pour it, then you need to work fast - it separates on the palette while you’re painting! I keep stirring mine while I’m painting. But even with that I’d probably only advise painting pieces of metal, like a sword or helmet here and there. If the majority of the miniature is metal it’s probably a much better bet to do it with a silver undercoat and one of the yellows on top. Keep experimenting! Like you said you gotta live and learn. Keep the feedback coming. Appreciate it. You can see I’ve not remade this tutorial using the metallic Speedpaints… for a reason :-D did you see our Vashtorr video? I think they all worked quite well there. For the time and effort I was happy with the look

[@jayj6287]

Your work is amazing!!!!!

[@metalor696]

This looks great! Especially considering how little time it took you to get to this result. Thanks for the vid!

[@assembly_language3948]

damn, wish contrast was out when I started my SCE. Thankfully only one unit has been painted, so it wont be hard to strip and start again. This is amazing, thank you.

[@Nosferatuklown]

Why have I never thought of contrast over metallics - thank you for this because now I'm curious about all my contrasts :) Black Templar contrast over bright metallic silver--hmmmm.

[@WatchItPaintIt]

We've already done that - it looks cool :) I think it looks best mixed with some contrast medium - it's quite dark.

[@davidgilroy1850]

Oh God. Am definitely going to try and use this method when I get Dominion. Looks way less stressful than how I normally go about painting.

[@nickdavis5420]

Mmm blue tone is my favorite tone for modern miniatures for doing up blue jeans 👖

[@Mrlee791]

Loved the video, that was fantastic.

[@WatchItPaintIt]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it

[@andrewobrigewitsh]

I like the instant colors, they are definitely different than contract paints, but I've had really good results over zynathal primes as they are more translucent. I would love to see these used more in Warhammer painting.

[@RafaelSanchez-tb3ly]

Very nice way of approaching gold armor, I am interested on knowing in what way this is actually faster than the typical retributor armor spray + reikland fleshade, and the highlights, Thx!

[@WatchItPaintIt]

It's not faster - about the same amount of time. But the gold is less "loud" and more weathered looking. Just a slightly different look than the standard GW box art :)

[@jonhammersley5593]

definitely using this method on my next gold armor mini, much easier than painting it gold and then trying to shade the recesses.

[@WatchItPaintIt]

Yeah! And for me personally, it’s not even that much worse than why I paint “properly” and spend 3 hours :D

[@richardeast8850]

Looks good. I wasn't going to do gold on mine when I get them but this may have changed my mind

[@WatchItPaintIt]

I wasn’t going to paint the whole army, but this changed my mind too, got more Stormcast Eternals done than orruks now :D

[@tobiasmeiser6488]

Nice Video. It looks like nmm but fast.

[@WatchItPaintIt]

Haha. NMM for the lazy :-D thanks the comment fella!

[@broncofun5636]

The gold came out really nice. How come you did not use contrast paint for the blue? Like Tallasar Blue?

[@WatchItPaintIt]

I tried contrast for the blue in the past on a Stormcasts shield and it just pooled REALLY badly and looked a total mess. However, the spear head looks so clean!! Perhaps I just need to be more careful. I should try again!

[@13Robzilla]

Don't get me wrong I love your Zombicide stuff, but these last 2 were pretty awesome too!

[@WatchItPaintIt]

Paint ALL the things!!! Yeah I love Zombicide, in fact it’s my most played miniature game!! I don’t even play Age of Sigmar and I may never even find time, but boy oh boy are the miniatures nice to paint! I’d recommended getting a GW sprue just to paint for anyone. Even if you’re not going to play, just treat yourselves to a really pleasurable paint job :-D then moan about how hard Zombicide is in comparison for the rest of your life :-D :-D

[@thegamersmanifesto3671]

The face iconography is Grungni, he designed the new armour and is lending a hand to Sigmar until the Dwarfs warm up to the idea of working together again. Great idea with orange contrast over silver base to create an interesting gold.

[@WatchItPaintIt]

Thanks for the information! So this is like branded armour :-D

[@WePaintMinis]

Fantastic work. Nazdreg Yellow over silver is awesome, isn't it? I did similarly but with the Celestial Vindicators. Keep up the great work.

[@dinmat1277]

Waouuu gg🎉

[@micro8185]

How did you made those swamp looking bases? what texture paint have you used?

[@WatchItPaintIt]

I used Stirland mud by citadel but I’d have achieved the same effect for much less money if I had a little more time, check the channel for Stirland mud videos if you’re interested in saving cash :-) hope this helps

[@MrRrleonc689]

One thing I have always wonder watching your videos is, how do you manage to set up your camera at that angle and not be on your way while painting, it almost seems as if the camera is on your actual forehead lol. Would love to see a video about your set up and how you manage to get such high quality videos from that angle

[@exceldamage1861]

great vid, model looks awesome!! what did you use for the little branches on the base at the end?

[@WatchItPaintIt]

I use this stuff I got from Gatehouse Gaming UK. I don’t really know what it is :-D but it works well! I’ll see if I can do a little swamp base video but Mike already did a different style one!

[@exceldamage1861]

@@WatchItPaintIt fantastic thank you!

[@xPENDERGASTx]

So what do you use to touch up the yellow contrast if you fudge a spot? You can’t really use the contrast again?

[@WatchItPaintIt]

I repaint on the silver and carefully applied the contrast in that area again. Hope that helps!

[@MTGfiro]

i am painting my army Red instead of gold :)

[@WatchItPaintIt]

Ohhhh niceee!

[@jarenalfred66]

You've convinced me, I liked and was already subscribed 😜, btw would you do different paint themes for the stormcasts? Like a white with purple and gold or a black with blue?

[@WatchItPaintIt]

I considered doing one of the other variations but as this was my first spin at making a tutorial on one I thought I’d go with the default. If there’s interest we could definitely do others and even get a totally different take on it from Mike doing one!

[@jarenalfred66]

@@WatchItPaintIt Awesome!!

[@frapapcgaming]

"Speed painting" lol ! Amazing painting btw!😀

[@WatchItPaintIt]

Damn, is it still too slow? I might do a faster, more contrast, less highlight version :-D

[@rathalos28able]

@@WatchItPaintIt for Models this Detailed i think its really fast. I Paint my Plaguebearers in 10 Minutes + dry time but i Just have to slap on Plaguebearer flesh, nazdreg yellow on the boils and then blood Angel Red on the Open wounds and im done

[@WatchItPaintIt]

My poxwalkers are the fastest thing I’ve painted in GW to date. Basically the same approach as yours :-D it’s the only complete set I’ve finished painting as I just them all together in an hour :-D

[@ultimapanzer]

What paint did you prime it with?

[@WatchItPaintIt]

I showed it near the beginning - Army Painter’s Colour Primer Platemail Metal. I would think any silver works but that’s what I use!

[@shimuni9213]

So this Methode or the one with Goldspray from gw? Also anyone have list of colours used

[@HeroesBosses]

It all depends on which look you prefer. The spray on gold is much shinier, the contrast paint gold has better areas of dark and light. Both take the same amount of time to paint, I believe.

[@shimuni9213]

Do you know the list of paints he is using? Or do i have to go through the Video :)

[@WatchItPaintIt]

I’d have to go through the video myself to get them all, and I hate the sound of my own voice :-D :-D

[@shimuni9213]

Lol

[@gdmunn83]

That deffo took more than 30 minutes ??

[@WatchItPaintIt]

The base did! But the actual miniature took me about 25-30 minutes. I don’t include drying or waiting as I work on other stuff tho

[@gdmunn83]

Fair enough, I guess I'm just a slow coach at edge highlights. Would have taken me 30 mins just for them lol

[@WatchItPaintIt]

Ooooh yeah, that bit could definitely take longer, don’t look too close at my highlighting :-D I was pretty inaccurate :-D I think I’ll do another speed paint without the edge highlighting because it is one of the slower steps!

[@kainoctis7724]

My nazrag is more turd brown than yellow

[@WatchItPaintIt]

:O oh really!? Something wrong with it? :(

[@EternalQuestion]

Great video and the mini looks great! I'm not convinced you actually painted it in 30 mins though... The video itself is 30 mins long but you sped up most of the painting and also skipped many parts of the process. In particular, you only showed a small amount of the time consuming parts such as highlighting and the 3 coats of blue on the shield. I know saying that you painted it super fast gets more views, but I personally think honesty is more important.

[@WatchItPaintIt]

Hey man, thanks! So it won’t have been exactly 30 minutes, but it won’t have been far off, in fact I say in the video 25-30. I think minus the camera being there (it’s massively in my way and slows me down) and talking while painting is a huge impact on my efforts, it would actually be faster than 30 minutes. Bare in mind the speeded up bits are only about 2x, and the skipped bits are normally so I can do that bit off cam (as it’s boring to watch the same over and over) and off cam I did those coats of blue in literal seconds (I don’t count drying time as I do other stuff in that time) :-D the highlights will have taken a while but if you look close, I wasn’t that accurate :-D it was rushed. I actually used to time my paint times (it’s easy when I film the entire job start to finish) and used to put the exact times in the outros but I moved away because I’d always be under an hour, often under 30 mins, and occasional in the teens! While I personally like painting fast and getting stuff done I didn’t like people thinking it matters - take your time, do what you enjoy! You’re totally right about putting the speed in the thumbnail gets more views, nearly every single video I’ve ever done is fast :-D and a lot are faster than this and I didn’t bother putting the time in the thumbnail! That’s just playing the stupid KZbin game. So yeah, apologies I stopped timing exactly, and this might be give or take some minutes. I have painted four of these Vindictors now and the other two were in my one hour lunch break! (Haven’t done the base still). They were slightly easier sculpts than this one, so again it’s not exactly fair but I think give or take it’s hopefully not dishonest? Hopefully this reply helps you feel less cheated!
