That grey one is exactly what I was looking for in a paint scheme! Thank you for this video.

[@Sorastro]

Awesome! I'm happy to hear that - thanks! 😀

Beautiful work, RIP Peter Mayhew.

[@Sorastro]

Thank you Marko. RIP indeed; what a sad loss.

[@ricoratso]

So happy to see another one of your paint guides! Your videos have really helped my painting skills increase and, though I still don’t consider myself good, I have definitely improved and am much more confident in my skills thanks to you. Can’t wait for the next video, keep up the great work!

[@Sorastro]

Thank you so much Ricoratso! I'm pleased to hear you're enjoying the videos :D

[@CypressPunk34]

Always a treat to find your uploads in my subscription box.

[@Sorastro]

Thank you Tannon! I really appreciate that :)

[@darthmuadib7237]

Holy shit, that bowcaster is awesome. You are seriously becoming my favorite minis painter that I follow here on KZbin.

[@Sorastro]

Thank you buddy! I really appreciate that 😀

[@Hawkeye83627]

Getting my first core set tomorrow, these videos are giving me all sorts of ideas for my minis!!!!

[@Sorastro]

Awesome! I'm happy to hear that 😀

[@thegame0940]

I followed your method about 95% (just changing up some paint tones based on what I had available) and I love how Chewie came out! These videos have really improved my painting and I appreciate it!

[@Sorastro]

Awesome! Thanks a lot Elias; I'm happy to hear that :)

[@mattrounce2090]

another brilliant masterpiece. just to say for anyone wanting to get USA olive drab its now called olive brown, I didn't realise and thought i'd been sent the wrong one so ordered another and as you guess it was right the first time so now have 2. if it has 091 on the bottle its the right one.

[@Sorastro]

Thanks a lot Matt! I appreciate the heads up RE USA Olive Drab too :)

[@eamonnferguson3771]

Great inspirational techniques and colour schemes.

[@Sorastro]

Thank you so much Eamonn! I'm really glad you enjoyed it :)

[@annekekramer3835]

Funny, that yesterday I asked if silver was a good addition to create metallic sparkling highlights, and today you show exactly that in a video! Keep up the good work!

[@Sorastro]

Ha - yes that's true! :)

[@triruns]

Beautifully done. Your models look better than the actual Wookiees in the films.

[@Sorastro]

Lol - thanks triruns :D

[@sambauman69]

I've been waiting for EXACTLY this video for a long time. I love the Legion Wookiees

[@Sorastro]

Awesome - thanks Sam! :)

[@Starman1014]

Great stuff.. I'm going to use these schemes when I paint the woodie warriors for Imperial Assault

[@Sorastro]

Thanks a lot! I'm glad you found it useful :)

[@robbie1155]

Wasn't sure on what I was going to paint next thank you for helping me decide looks amazing can't wait for the rebel pathfinders

[@Sorastro]

Ha ha - no problem Robbie! :)

[@MrBarbarzyncaPL]

Good to back to Legion!!

[@Sorastro]

:D

[@maximedufault8860]

Did you see the new Star Wars Legion Clone wars game. I think you should do a tutorial because I'm gonna watch it for sure!

[@Sorastro]

Absolutely Maxime! Can't wait :)

[@naus6081]

@@Sorastro Yes PLEASE!!! I am SO excited for this; its exactly everything I wanted. I know this is a lot to ask, but in your head right now, what are the paints you'd recommend for painting the B1's, Droidekas, and General Grevious based on that picture? I ask because...sighs, I got 3rd party ones that arrived literally a week ago only for this to be announced and I wanted to start practicing with them. Got a lot of conflicted feelings, but...if nothing else I can use this as a good set of tests? Or terrain pieces? I mainly use citadel but am open to whatever.

[@jordanesmith111]

Absolutely wonderful video, as always. It's a joy whenever I see these pop up in my feed. I hope one of these days you can paint some of the WizKids DnD miniatures. I know there's quite a variety of them, but I paint a ton of these things and would very much appreciate getting more insight into how you approach fantasy minis. Your Descent series has been extremely helpful.

[@Sorastro]

Thank you so much Jordan! I'm actually working on a brand new fantasy series which you might enjoy; it's not for D&D but the techniques etc should be very transferable :) (It's for the new FFG Lord of the Rings: Journeys in Middle Earth.)

[@Adrian-ge3ll]

Good to have you back, sir 🙂

[@Sorastro]

Thanks Adrian! :D

[@johns9325]

Now i need to buy Deck Tan. I love Vallejo paint. Some of the best imo

[@Sorastro]

Deck Tan is such a useful colour! 😀

[@familyofgamers777]

I have to Thank you again, the best tutorials on the net. Very informative, easy to follow. Appreciate all the hard work!!!

[@Sorastro]

Awesome! Yes - I'd like that too! :)

[@urstrooley6206]

[@ryanblanch1852]

Amazing as always. Great to see you back at it with some awesome legion videos. I really like the colour scheme for the leader and the armour. I'm going to need to pick up a second pack to try this out

[@Sorastro]

Thanks a lot Ryan! I'm glad you liked the colour choices :)

[@Ben_Fett]

Feels like it's been so long! You're such a huge inspiration and I learn something new every time! Beautiful minis.

[@Sorastro]

Thank you so much Ben - I really appreciate that! Yep, I've been having some renovations done at home which have slowed me down a bit this month, but I'm still working hard.. :)

I cant wait to go to your class at Celebration 9!

Thanks John! I'd better start preparing! :D

[@maciej8603]

Awesome job! I have a q: will you return to Bloodrage or Zombicide Green Hord?

[@Sorastro]

Thank you! I'd love to do some more Zombicide, but I'm just not sure when as I'm pretty busy with the new Lord of the Rings: Journeys in Middle Earth series at the moment... :)

[@mrvlogretrogamingforce8437]

Please could u do a video about painting Orson Krennic and Deathtroopers? Its very hard to paint black and white. Thank you!

[@Sorastro]

Hi! There's a good chance I'll cover them (either as video and/or PDF) :)

[@mrvlogretrogamingforce8437]

@@Sorastro would be greate. thank you.

[@carlitossama]

Amazing job, like always. Good tutorial to remeber fur techniques. One more question. What do you think about Star Wars Legion Clone Wars? I am so excited!!

[@Sorastro]

Thank you mate! I think the Clone Wars set looks really fantastic! Can't wait to paint it 😀

[@thelonepainter4760]

It looks great without the wash. Great job!😁👍👌 Also what do you use to dry fit the model?

[@Sorastro]

Ha - thanks! I just use white tack (poster putty) :)

Do you plan on doing a Clones painting guide?

Any chance you KSed HATE and will paint those models? They look amazing and I would appreciate some inspiration 😁

[@Sorastro]

Hi Jonathan! I'm afraid that's one that I didn't back - sorry! (The minis do look cool though..) :)

[@maximedufault8860]

Would you recommend using black Templar for the bowcasters too?

[@Sorastro]

Hi Maxime! For a fast and effective approach I think Black Templar would be great for the bowcasters! :)

[@carlosduecker6238]

Great work! Should the wookie eyes be darker or more dog like?

[@Sorastro]

Thank you Carlos! I think that's a great idea 😀

[@adamgray688]

Hey Sorasto loving the work is that a wet pallet you are using?

[@Sorastro]

Thanks Adam! Yes that's the wet palette made by RedgrassGames :)

[@captainbi-rownlee4752]

Do you think you could explain to me your recording setup? I'm currently struggling with mine for lighting, zoom, seeing colours and details, etc.

[@Sorastro]

Hi Cpt! I shoot with the Lumix GH5 with Leica 12-60mm lens (at max focal length): amzn.to/2HUoysw and I use a single LED lamp with large reflective hood (Pixapro LED100D MKII) :)

[@fosterelkins1221]

Not painting related but when you do play, do you prefer Rebellion or Empire?

[@Sorastro]

Hi! I'm pretty happy playing either to be honest; I mostly play with my daughter however who always plays Empire so by default I tend to play Rebel :)

[@anthonyreed3682]

Is it just me, or does the wookiee leader look like Chewbacca's father Itchy from the Holiday Special?

[@anthonyreed3682]

Looks like there's someone out there who's old enough and brave enough to admit they watch the Holiday Special.

[@XavierArnau399]

the gap was huge! how many layers of matt varnish did you use?

[@Sorastro]

Hi Xavier! It wasn't so bad actually - I think just two layers did the trick :)

[@LATigerFootball]

I know this video is older, but do you feel the contrast paints aren’t really needed here?

[@Sorastro]

Hey Scott! There's so many ways to paint a wookiee! I used Shades here (the Contrast Colours weren't out at the time), but used Contrast Colours in my more recent Wookiee Warriors video. Any method is fine really.. 😀

[@driesrenmans418]

WYYAAAAAH WOOO ROO ROOAAA WOOOAAAAGH!! (rough translation: 'Great video!')

[@Sorastro]

Ha ha - thanks Dries! :)

[@maximedufault8860]

Could you do morte of Star Wars Légion unit expansion tutorials.

[@Sorastro]

Hi Maxime! Absolutely :)

[@ChaoticPKK]

Ginger's shoulder armor looked like skulls (or just gnarly faces).

[@ChaoticPKK]

Same with Mr. Boss Man Wookiee.

[@marckaiser8452]

May I ask what is the reason for using for some of the colors Vallejo and not Citadel? Is there somewhere on your Pathreon page an excel/file with all the colors you sre using? The guy at our local store is already making jokes, as I am coming every second day and buying new and different colors as buying color sets would be a bit cheaper 😀

[@Sorastro]

Hi Marc! I just like exploring a range of paints and if I find a specific colour I like I'll use it, irregardless of which range it came from. Yes I have a paint conversion chart over on my Patreon :)

[@dsanchez23fight]

Did you use the gorilla glue this time because they’re Wookiees?

[@Sorastro]

Lol buddy :)

[@danjhonson6194]

Could you do a tutorial for death troopers?

[@Sorastro]

Hi Dan! I'd love to have a go at them and would be happy to produce a guide - either as a video or a PDF. :)

[@richardkinkead3315]

Let the Wookie win.

[@Sorastro]

Very wise sir! :)

[@NorfsidePlay44G]

Is there anyway I can jus pay you to paint my minis like fr?? I’d rather have a professional such as yourself I keep messing up lol

[@Sorastro]

Hey there! I personally don't do commission work, but there are lots of commission painters out there who I'm sure would be happy to paint your minis for a free. You might want to ask in the Star Wars: Legion Facebook group perhaps: facebook.com/groups/swlegionffg :)

[@MrSarwat]

I do not like how Chewbacca's eyes fallow me throughout the video. His smug aura tells me he can outplay me in a game of holochess

[@Sorastro]

Ha ha - it's probably be better that he beats you to be honest.. :D

[@MrSarwat]

No kidding, just look at his glare. Good job on this video, very helpful Excited for you to paint Grievous and Obi wan with his fancy armor in the near future@@Sorastro

[@Sorastro]

Thanks mate! I also can't wait to get my hands on Obi Wan and Grievous too! :)
