Peachy shattered my world view when he drilled a hole in the model and screwed in the painting handle.

[@thepaintingphase]

Me too, me too….

[@sabrehagen9423]

I had to pause the video and go and get one of my paint handles, never knew they could do that. Mind blown.

[@jackcopestake9948]

[@buckyohare9993]

But he didn’t do the gun barrels….

[@Wardog235]

What I want to know is what size hole did he drill.

[@mo_dakka]

I honestly gasped out loud when you did the console glare bit. I'd never thought of nor seen such a thing. Brilliant.

[@kamradziejtomal]

Love it how You can see the small mistakes, not-so-perfect paint application, brush strokes, etc. in Your videos here. This is not something that often shown on video which in my opinion often discourages people as the tutorial model looks "perfect" in comparison to what I have in my hands. There should be more things like that in the hobby to show people that YT is not perfect and pristine it's a paintjob just as Your at home. Love ya

[@thepaintingphase]

You have, in one comment completely explained what The Painting Phase is.

[@brittanislarp3850]

Came here to say the same thing. I’m BRAND new to WH40K, and this is the most relatable content for me.

[@Fallen_BDPS]

I love your painting method, there's no stress involved! I worry so much about my projects not coming out perfectly that I don't even paint! This is extremely inspiring thanks!

[@thepaintingphase]

I'm so glad you enjoyed it, and that’s the who’s of the channel so hopefully intimidation levels are minimal 👍👍👍

[@TheTallblade]

Another great and entertaining video. I saw Peachy in Bugmans during my first visit to WHW today. I nearly went over to say thanks for teaching me to paint, then realised that I'd probably just end up fanboying all over him. Given that I'm a 6'5 tall 45 year old, attending with two young kids, I opted to save us both the embarrassment of the inevitable gushing and possible tears. Regardless, thanks for teaching so much and making painting simple for normal people (especially those that started late and are proudly living out their mid life crisises by colouring in toy soldiers in their 40s). Keep up the good work with the new team!

[@thepaintingphase]

Aah you should’ve come over and said hi, I’m always happy to chat with fellow hobbyists, we’re you on the table near the bar?

@The Painting Phase yes, it was my daughters birthday and she's just started painting, and wanted to see how miniatures should be painted. She loved the day.

Mate I literally JUST finished building the final model for my Votann army - a Hekaton Land Fortress - and this video appeared on my feed. I'd been saying I was gonna use contrast paint and slapchop for the whole army, so this is impeccable timing!

[@jason2089]

Same, while looking for schemes. Yellow and red was not something I had considered but it looks great. I did leave the wheels off but built the rest :/

[@richardokeeffe8375]

Brilliant advice! Proper trippy hearing the background music that I now associate with North of The Border

some of the best weathering ive seen in a tutorial, amazing!

[@Zasuky0]

This is probably the most helpful KZbin video I've seen on weathering (for me personally). Really helped it click for me. Thanks Peachy!

[@simonleach6632]

Best way to paint canopies is to mask them, takes time, but well worth it, and makes painting them much much easier, best way to do it, turn on the flashlight on your phone and place it on the table with the light pointing up at you, then cover the canopy with masking tape (don't need anything fancy here, any masking tape will do) and use a cocktail stick/toothpick or a pencil even to really press it down around the framing. If you hold the canopy over the light now you will be able to see the framing nice an clearly so you can cut away the masking tape to reveal the framing with a nice fresh, sharp hobby knife, now just paint your interior details however you like, pop the canopy on and paint it like you would the rest of the model and no need to worry about paint sticking to the clear plastic as it gets primed at the same time as the rest of the model and you get the satisfaction of tasking the mask off the glazed parts at the end which is about the most satisfying feeling you can have painting models!

[@cheetor_sho3box]

This is a fantastic tutorial, and aimed squarely at my current project too, love it. I drybrushed pilots in my eldar vehicles carefully with white over black, and then tinted the canopies with Tamiya clear colours. You get a similar HUD lit look, and the drybrush doesn't need anything more than extreme light/dark contrast to look decent through the tint. These tutorials are great, keep it up please!

[@brittanislarp3850]

Stealing that idea. Thanks!

[@Archaon6044]

I'm a big fan of watered down Skrag Brown/light red-brown for rust streaks as well. Also glazing a pale sand colour like Karak Stone into recesses is good for accumulated dust

[@5az2]

What the ... I didn't realise you can actually take a top off a GW painting handle! Great tip as usual!

[@marc_paints40k]

So glad this video popped up! I've just started building mine today and was going to put time into the troop,not any more haha

[@TristanSplunge]

The PVA on the clear plastic trick seems like a no-brainer now! I wish I'd thought of that before. RIP my Archeopter canopy

[@MarkusMaximus2000]

This built up beautifully. The canopy tips were beyond useful. Excellent fingering.

[@thepaintingphase]

I’m glad you liked the fingering 😂 but honestly thanks for the comment 😍

Tanks for the video 👍🏻 Two lessons learned today 1 painting handle blew my mind. 2 pva to glue the cockpit covers.

[@johnbruce4004]

What a super practical approach. Years of experience showing. Completely off topic I'd love to see you guys tackle a 1940 German or French AFV

[@mangogoat8195]

Weathering on Black would be really useful. Great video!

[@d-emprahexpects]

PVA for the clear canopies is the gem trick from this video! I'm going to remember that

[@spice6828]

I don't play Votann and have no plans to, but still found the video hugely entertaining. Crack on lads.

[@barrywonderdog]

Top tip for canopies: if you get acrylic paint on the transparent parts, let it dry and gently rub at it with a wooden toothpick. Also, Tamiya tape is good for painting sharp stripes (although remember to paint away from the tape edge rather than into it), and Blu tack is great for multi-layer camo.

[@corbingovers7559]

Would have never thought to use PVA to affix clear bits. Thanks for the tip! would a coat of satin varnish do the same as the black-legion step for the hatches?

[@Beartree]

Lord Peach strikes again! Brilliant vid, keep up the great work

[@matthewlindsay1046]

Wow lads! One of the best yet. I've got a few tanks I need to do, and will definitely be using this one. So simple, so effective, and great results.

I'm so glad I am taking my time building up my Kin. This is an absolutely fantastic video for not only the Sagitaur, but vehicles in general. Well done lads!

[@thepaintingphase]

Aww thanks Jonathan, glad you enjoyed and there’s useful tips to take away from it

[@graefx]

I love the idea of painting the pilots in a single glow color. Brilliant, simple, and really effective. My mind jumps to a red glow I probably associate with an unknown number of 80s action movies and shows. Red October comes to mind.

[@thepaintingphase]

Terminator 1, that had loads of red didn't it. I think Peach was channeling aliens with this one. Anything made by James Cameron you're fine it seems 😂

[@PsychicWarfareUnit]

I've been using lead belcher air for silver lately with a lot of success. Thinner so fairly easy to work with.

[@ricebrown1]

Great video! Nuln oil, the ol' liquid talent. I've got a few models that could use a good contrast job and I'm gonna give the silver mid-layer brushing a try.

[@Okanehira]

I'm painting up bright yellow dark eldar at the moment and was wondering how to approach vehicles as I've done the troops in contrast. So perfect timing!

[@sweatilaa5325]

Something that's been helpful for me to know when painting vehicles is that it wasn't uncommon in WWII for tank crews to patch up the paint on their tanks as well as make the camouflage on them by hand with a little guide leaflet to help them. The paint they used often had to be thinned on the fly with local water and even gasoline at times which could alter how the tank then ended up looking a bit compared to the official standard. The local temperature and how the paint had been stored also altered the color a little bit. So both the fact that vehicles looked different than fatigues and what I just mentioned is a great help, for me at least, to overcome the struggle of "it doesn't look exactly the same." So for me it also quite possible for people in 40K to have different tones both in fatigues and vehicles depending on what forge world has produced them and how they themselves have stored all the paint needed to maintain their vehicles as well as the climate your lore decides that your army is in :)

[@watts18269]

Awesome job! I wish I’d seen this 1 day earlier; I done a catachan leman russ today just with contrasts and it turned out crap haha

[@lucinawalker3261]

I have also found that using varnish can help undercoat clear plastic, though some varnishes can frost it a bit, so YMMV, it is what I did for the stained glass on my immolator for my sisters.

[@johnkelley9877]

Excellent tutorial! Thanks for sharing this.

[@thepaintingphase]

Glad it was helpful! 😍😍😍

[@abramnotabraham2253]

[@huwtindall7096]

all us scale modeller pros just paint or spray the clear plastic black (or whatever colour) and use a cocktail stick to rub away the colour on the parts which are meant to be clear. Would work really well on these accentuated canopies.

[@iainaitken8966]

[@Veradux96]

Any tips on how to paint black Vehicles effectively? My current approach is to just do tons of edge highlighting all around but its not exactly "fun"? I have a Storm Eagle and some Storm speeders hanging around & waiting for paint. Cheers from Germany, excellent video as always!

that looks so fucking cool and easy too. def going to do this when i buy my first set next month.

[@sylntghost007]

[@SandmanofTerra]

This scheme was both insanely quick and gorgeous. You absolutely nailed the colour. Matches the kin so well! Do you think it'd work with black? have got many ravenwing vehicles I'd like to match the bikes!

[@thepaintingphase]

Hmm I reckon so, in the past I’ve sprayed the vehicles black, super thin wash of abaddon or or even black legion, then dry brush some highlights that match your scheme, you can then use your thinned black to tidy back up if there’s any splodges or dodgy highlights

[@bastardsofdorn3062]

Nice tune.

[@marcolai9735]

Nice trick to paint plastic canopies.. I’ll try that on my legion LAAT. Instead of applying black legio. And wipe off, would it work with contrast medium? I’d like to avoid any marks on the windows

[@thepaintingphase]

Yes I'd think so, varnish too. I'd just test a small area first before coating the whole thing.

[@rogerhack3750]

Would spraying a varnish over the clear cannopy help aswell to bind the paint better to the thing?

[@thepaintingphase]

A few people have suggested a matt varnish which would have a similar effect. I'd be careful using it from a can as if conditions aren't great you might get frosting.

[@CygnusMaximusXIII]

Another great video, Mr. Peach, but I have to say I'm absolutely SHOCKED that we didn't get a suggestion to use Peachy's favourite hobby tool to help paint the stripes: Masking tape!

[@TylerMengel]

[@tmarti24]

Would love to know the secret to gluing down canopies that don't result in the plastic instantly fogging. So frustrating to spend all that time painting the cockpits only to have your work never seen by fogged plastic. PVA just doesn't have much strength to it, and they end up popping off a few days later or w/ just a bit of use.

[@mattl_]

Looks like the trick is to do it twice... put down a layer of PVA and then go over the outer joins with more PVA.

[@JakeStaines]

If you have a super-thin superglue, then you could make a good seal with the PVA then clean the canopy with alcohol, wait for it to evaporate off, then run the superglue into the cracks from the outside. Make sure you do this in a dry room with a fan going across the part being glued. The reason superglue fogs is that it cures very quickly in contact with moisture, and if there's moisture in the air the fumes coming off the glue can literally cure in mid-air and kind of condense out onto the model (or something, don't ask me how this works!), finding it particularly easy to start to form on grease from e.g. finger prints where you held the part to glue it on! Cleaning the canopy first gets rid of the grease which seems to make it harder for the glue to attach to the plastic in the first place; you don't need to touch the part at all when it's held in place with the PVA. Working in a dry non-humid environment where you can means there's less moisture to react with the glue fumes so it's less likely to happen. Running a fan across the part (not just blowing on it!) as you glue it means that the superglue fumes get carried away from the model before they fog anything. If you wanted to be super-sure you could also paint PVA (or liquid mask or similar if you have it) thickly over the top of the clear outside parts of the canopy and after the glue is cured, rub it off. The real answer, of course, is that if you're really having trouble with PVA not being strong enough, just use a transparent and colourless two-part epoxy glue. ;-)

The worst part of this is it's making me want to get some Votann.... :D I really like the green glow for the cockpit interior.

[@marenking1849]

Hey Peachy! Going to be doing a Ymyr Conglomerate scheme using Blood Angels red for their armor. Wondering would you recommend using mephiston red spray or could a black spray work too?

[@thepaintingphase]

I’d say Red spray would be far easier and quicker, Though I’d recommend getting the pot colour thinning it down a fair bit (like contrast levels of thinned) and applying that all over the minis after you’ve sprayed them. As the spray has a slight different finish, it means any corrections you need to make later won’t look so jarring. 👍👍👍

The gunner's not a Servitor, he's an Ironkin. Ironkin are AI constructs treated by the Leagues Of Votann as equals and citizens in good standing alongside their flesh-and-blood Kin brothers and sisters. Servitors are mindless flesh-slugs with cybernetics and a remote-control bolted on. A practice the Leagues would find barbaric and too superstitious for their tastes. Squats don't burn incense and intone prayers while hitting their tech with a wrench. They fix what needs fixing and get on with the mission. "THE ANCESTORS ARE WATCHING!"
