Super Fast Stormcast! | ARMY PAINTING STORMCAST ETERNALS |

[@mrkapowski8507]

I'm with you on the bare heads, Andy. I've swapped out all the helmets on my Stormcast for bare heads scavanged from a bunch of different sources

[@Wijkert]

Now I am curious which ones you ended up using. Looking to very mine as well.

[@SirFluffy100]

Agreed. The helmets always looked a bit to "gimp dungeon"

[@mrkapowski8507]

@@Wijkert most SCE kits since 2nd edition come with bare head options, so I've used those for around half the army, while some I've scavenged from older SCE kits, and most of the rest are 3d printed (Keta-Minis has some great ones). At a push, some of the Cadian heads are close enough it looks fine. Depending on the parts used, some fiddling is needed with the neck joins - mostly cutting to shape or filling gaps. AOS3 kits were really bad for weird neck connections, but the Skaventide kits have gone back to ball sockets (if you remove the pegs)

[@ApeArson259]

Another great video guys! Andy, I really appreciate the super close up shots of the model when demonstrating certain techniques. It is cool to see them up close! Excited to get painting the new box!

[@stoneglobe4879]

Love this video. Exactly what I wanted as am prepping to do the Skaventide box at the moment. Totally agree on the bare heads, they look so much better.

[@MrRobEyes]

Love your clean army painting Andy. Eldar and Sylvaneth all very simple effective clean schemes that look amazing.

[@isisnmagic1812]

Finally someone is doing the stormcasts and not the rats, great video thank you.

[@diyfireking]

Excellent work as always 💖💖

[@tombrand236]

Love it! also your army painting guides are more like masterclasses for 95% of us 😂

[@Deadphoenix91]

love the video and the dive into how you paint faces. Is it possible that you guys could make a tutorial on how to take good pictures of your miniatures?

[@cultofpaint]

I reckon I might make that the next video. Soon for sure

[@SimeonCogswell]

Great work, I plan on doing something similar with my Skaventide Stormcasts. I'm with you on the helmets, they don't thrill me. But I've been looking for alternatives that are a little more medieval/historic looking.

[@Mikester88]

Lovely! Great contrast with the bare bright fave to the dull metallics. Nice pointers with the face, I'm really struggling with faces so any tips helps. Nice to see you can switch it up who's doing KZbin and Patreon. What's Henry working on?

[@01huntingtown]

Andy pouring Sansodor from the bottle like Golden Demons come with cash prizes. 😮

[@monkeyhammer]

I really like how spending a little more time on the face really elevated the model over all, really helps give the model a focal point vs how it would look helmeted

[@JbizzyG]

Faces and bases make models aces.

[@oleww50]

Great to have a video on YT from Andy again, looks awesome 🙌 ❤

[@Yavinprints]

Great work Andy, i absolutely love the choice of mini. I think best mini from the whole box to be honest! the bare heads on these troops are so well done.

[@charli3paints]

Amazing job as always!!! Can i ask u Wich camera u use for recording?

[@averagejoe8384]

When can we get our hands on the cult of paint… paints!?!?

[@jasonmclaughlin5647]

What rough cloak color would you use with the desaturation process you've shown here? Fairly weathered in the same kind of brownish from the umber, or would you do that differently depending on the actual cloak color?

[@redmarson261]

Great job! I think they're still soulless sculpts in general. Feels like they should have made them more gothic and baroque. They were trying to do something new with them for AoS which is fair, but they feel pretty lame. Having said that, the sculpts improved massively. I hope they go more in the direction of the Reclusians though.

[@starscream6209]

My oil washes come out grainy when they are dried. Also, they separate really quickly. Yours dont seem to do it. Do you have any tips on how to fix that? (Using Sansador with odor as the thinner and W&N oil paints).

[@jerrumonline6705]

Great job, your style is awesome and the way you present it feels authentic rather than going for the views (which I hope is still working with getting views, but it just feels more friendly, like two mates on a video call, apposed to talking at an audience). However, if I could voice an opinion, I would say your skin tone (at least in the video) looks too close to the gold trim.. even though you put all that effort into the face as a focal, I'm struggling to visual tell the two colours apart. If I may suggest an alternative, if you had based the gold in a desaturated dirty brown green (more in the yellow hue spectrum) I feel you would have achieved similar results but separated the warm browns of the skin, from the (current) warm tones of the gold. Giving the gold a cold hue contrast, it is a metal, after all.

[@hydra1plprivate942]

Hello, can you guys paint skitarii? Thanks :)

[@kungdswe2940]

really nice face Andy, did you use the same color for the headband to make it less noticeble and not take away focus from the face?

[@MatchaMakesThings]

New to AOS and this is going to be a great way for me to start!

[@skarrz1468]

It would be great if you could show how you do a cloak and flames in this scheme

[@Wijkert]

Really like the idea of adding visual interest with thicker oils when the all over wash is still wet so the details defuse a little.

[@rolandstark5048]

Lookin fantastic. Love the face.

[@thewatcheronthewall85]

Your work is amazing man.

[@mrhulk93]

great video! may i ask, what is the point of zenithal if you paint a metallic base over it and it hides it anyways? just curios, maybe im missing something. thanks!

[@cultofpaint]

just to demonstrate where the highlights would go. So its just filmed for the video, not to serve any other purpose.

[@Wijkert]

19:09 I remember Arnau saying that he really likes Tuskor fur for skin tones. Incidentally mixing the Cavalry Brown with the Cadia Flesh you get something very close to Tuskor Fur I think.

[@skullz291]

Another small tip, if you can find some third party knight heads, they look even better. Gives them kind of a Dark Souls look. Still fantastical but more familiar.

[@danryan1462]

Should you seal oil washes with a varnish? I’ve heard many different opinions on it, for a gaming army btw not just display

[@Wijkert]

17:45 I prefer satin finish for painting skin as well. Not many people like the old Vallejo Game colors, but the skin tones from that range are great for the same reason. If I have to pick a favorite, I would go with Tan (a very natural looking desaturated mid tone). The discontinued Terracotta is great to as a slightly darker and more desaturated version of Cavalry Brown you used here.

[@olejoergenmalm16]

Have you considered doing merch, like t-shirts?

[@cultofpaint]

Yes. Watch this space

[@ClassicBikeMagazine]

Fantastic video of a fantastic project - nice one Andy. And great to have you over on KZbin. The only Stormcast I’ve seen that’s made me think, “Mmmm, you know what? Niiiice.”

[@Njofrekk]

Saw you on Squidmar's video and I came here to see your work. Awesome stuff. Liked and subbed. Cheers!

[@ProrokLebioda]

I am literally putting together the same model, while watching this! Such a great sculpt! Miles ahead of 1st wave SCE. Great army painting recipe. I also intend to do a quick and easy, weathered silver armor while spending more time on bare heads!

[@MrTeal888]

I'll try this on my Stormcast Spearhead. Great tutorial!

[@BrakkoJanus]

Looks gorgeous! The face is such an amazing focal point, I've always wanted to do the glowing eyes and they work so well to sell the "supernatural knight" vibe. I also like the tone of the brass a lot, much better than a simple yellow gold.

[@Wijkert]

1:55 100% with you on the bareheads. Building Vindictors currently and it is night and day when comparing the helmeted head ones with the bare ones.

[@daviderobertobonsi6968]

Love it! I am trying myself lately a very similar scheme with red, but lawys leaving the shoulder pad next to shield silver, just to limit colors on the model for a more grimdark look

[@Justin_black_leviathan]

Fuck yes

[@Wijkert]

4:51 amen!

[@gutssubz8232]

Oooo. I've been eagerly awaiting those paints. I'm especially looking forward to the cold and warm reds (and cold blues and warm browns). I have a feeling the reds are going to be the crowning glory of the collection.

[@piotrkurnicki6154]

Love the idea of masterclass face on speedpainted armour. Makes amazing contrast.

[@Aki777craft]

God dam

[@NOF4R]

Damn good paint mate, I hope you will paint one of the new stormcast leader from the skaventide box so we can see what it looks like with your style.

[@nathanielaldridge502]

love this I'm currently painting mine up !!!

[@worm1618]

Hi Andy. What color is the background paper that you use to take the photo at the end of the video?

[@shogunmage9036]

Excellent work. I agree that the face work done put this mini over the top.

[@PowerPilgrim]

Smashed it Andy!

[@camrenmike7311]

When can we expect to see more info about your new paint range?

[@cultofpaint]

@@camrenmike7311 over the next few months.

[@akutch564]

Fantastic video and love how you did the metallics.

[@jamesbgood25]

Love this! I might get an AoS army or two done soon!

[@CaptnLoken]

That Iron Warriors pot needs a clean man. I wonder how many people that complain about citadel paints (not saying thats you) just have really poor pot lid maintenance

[@andywardle2988]

It shuts still 😂

[@eriqone9245]

love the results and how generally straight forward the process is

[@Gryndir]

Honestly love that you bust out the airbrush all the time. Glad to see someone lean into the tool

[@redboxer-ux5qw]

I really like this paint job

[@beauraymond11]

Sans-odor. Cheeky

[@sdws91]

Sanso-dor forever

[@_threepointedcircle_]

And now I want to do stormcast.

[@Lfcsweden-n5m]

Awsome!!

[@redboxer-ux5qw]

Brilliant

[@niallrichardcurran2466]

as an alternative to the blue, what would be a sggestion from the GW range? The Fang?

[@andywardle2988]

Kantor blue

[@kettusnuhveli]

Good luck doing this one with a brush...

[@andywardle2988]

Out of interest, what do you think would be hard? Because basecoating the silver is pretty chill with brush, the Vallejo metal colour brush on really easy.

[@kettusnuhveli]

@@andywardle2988 getting the iron warriors + contrast fade, how is one supposed to achieve that?

[@ghostly3375]

You and i have very different definitions of fast 😂 this has gotta be 3+ hours worth of work here per model, easily.

[@CharlieFultonSC]

Oh no an airbrush 😢😢😢😢

[@andywardle2988]

Don’t have one?
