The Ultimate Guide to Painting Kroot for Warhammer 40K

#ad
In this video, I will show you how to paint the new Kroot War Shaper for Warhammer 40,000! All of the tips and colours used here can be used to paint the rest of the Kroot in the box as well - so it's double bubble on the fantastic new Kroot Hunting pack. A huge thanks to GW for sending me the models - let's get painting!

This turned out great :) was a it suspicious with the light skin tone at first but you really made it work with the darker colors on his gears and all

[@ThePaintingCoach]

Cheers

[@The_Foil]

Pre-ordered my kroot hunt pack yesterday, and I'm super excited to paint them, and once again I'll use your guide to paint my models

[@ThePaintingCoach]

Awesome - they are great :)

[@scroggie_mini_painting3983]

Stunning results! That cloak was epic

[@ThePaintingCoach]

Cheers

[@morewarhammer]

Can’t wait to paint mine up. This looks amazing. Love the cloak too.

[@ThePaintingCoach]

Thanks man 😁

[@SeLu1987]

Amazing result, looking forward to see another tutorial for any other miniature of that box! Stunning!

[@Kerath]

[@Martin.W.F]

[@ThePaintingCoach]

Thanks!

[@That1greykight0666]

Love this scheme personally I like to just prime white hit it with plague bearer flesh then dry brush ogryn camo for the skin

[@ondarkendwings]

This mini looks so good ! Nice video.

[@ThePaintingCoach]

Thank you kindly :)

[@daverobinson3499]

i just got the kroot war and flesher shapers and ive been struggling for ideas for a theme i really like the direction you went with these so may do my own version of what you did but im no where near the level of art you created

[@goforitpainting]

Professional 👍

[@MjTaboret]

As always: lovely work. How did you do this base and tactical rock? I'm always curious about your base recepies

[@ThePaintingCoach]

Thanks! It was a bit of a mish mash of experimenting to be honest. I wet blended the rock with XV-88, Jokaero Orange and then Ungor Flesh - nothing fancy I just painted the next layer on while the other was wet and smushed it about. The sand is AK Desert Sand paste - I then put some Aggaros Dunes contrast on it and realised it was too dark, so gave it a good dollop of contrast medium to thin it out on the base itself - when it was all completely dry, I gave it a light drybrush of bright ivory, and covered it all with matt varnish

[@TheMiniJunkie]

Love the thumbnail lol

[@ThePaintingCoach]

Cheers

[@RF-144]

Nice video, would the Kroot be a difficult first subfaction/faction to paint?

[@ThePaintingCoach]

Hmm - you can do a decent enough job with just contrast paint (I have a video showing this) basic space marines are probably the easiest thing to paint

[@e-bo9115]

This a new mic? Thanks for the guide sir

[@ThePaintingCoach]

Thanks - same one I've had for a while

[@MorienusMusic]
