Painting an army over a Week - HC 308

[@geteavnroc2250]

"You can paint your base rims any color, as long as its black." LMAO TOTALLY agree!

[@cyriltournier5784]

You misspelled goblin green ^^

[@freedom2663]

Yeah. I was wondering if I heard him wrong. XD

[@breakupgoogle4584]

I use Skavenblight Dinge. It looks good against green, concrete, and brown dirt.

[@VinceVenturella]

It's always black. :)

[@carstendich2906]

What about a t-shirt in the merch store with that slogan printed on.... 😁👍

[@PyromancerRift]

The foolproof version is to use a yellow ink after the red undertone and the light tan highlight. You can't cover too much with it and it's glorious.

[@myramini188]

Tom's 'sabbatical' is actually just winning tournaments and trolling Vince.

[@VinceVenturella]

So it seems. :)

[@rhag1394]

And another fantastic army is done! I was looking forward to this clip. Tyler was clearly quite overwhelmed with the gift you guys made him. Thank you for sharing the process of painting the army! You made yellow look easy ;)

[@VinceVenturella]

It really can be. :)

[@thel1chking]

The pink for flesh is just genius

[@VinceVenturella]

Thank you, happy to help. :)

[@gordon5082]

Vince: "I have back pain that prevents me from sitting and painting models." Mortals: "I need to lay down and rest." Vince: paints 8 hours.

[@peterfiser]

My thoughts also.

[@VinceVenturella]

Can't stop, won't stop.

[@dustinasche]

For Vince, 8 hour painting sessions is taking it easy.

[@OldManRogers]

A true labour of love for your friend. Extra respect for working through injury but take care of yourself Mr V!

[@VinceVenturella]

It was a rough week, but all better now. :)

[@travislankford9254]

I was looking forward to these once I heard about the donation for Tyler. Love this format but also understand why it is an incredibly rare piece of content due to the scope. I love how every step is broken down but skills and techniques that can transfer to any paint scheme are highlighted (e.g. the use of a limited palette). I wonder if you could expand on that piece of content and do other videos along those lines such as "(whatever the proper name for the limited palette is) for Basic SCE/whatever other faction" or maybe color theory around if you chose this as your primary color this is how you go about choosing those select few other paints. Keep up the awesome work and love the cliffhanger at the end!

[@VinceVenturella]

Yeah, these are always massive projects, and I love the videos, but I do need to find someway to get at the same thing, but in a more reasonable way. :)

[@Wijkert]

4:36 have had great results with mixing about a 50/50 mix of AK ultra matt varnish into my inks. That way I save a step and I also don't need thinner for either. The end result is still a bit satin (which I like), but that can be easily tweaked by altering the ratio.

[@ThomasGallinari]

2:32 best airbrush sound ever

[@VinceVenturella]

:)

[@havok100]

Super cute. I followed the same steps for my own Jawz! A little confirmation of knowledge is nice once in a while. Thanks for the great video.

[@VinceVenturella]

Always happy to help. :)

[@ODA204SBD9]

I was physically moved when you black-rimmed that base. Can we get a black base-rimming montage sometime?

[@VinceVenturella]

That would be top shelf content.

[@emilymegan40]

The Tom cameo - priceless! What a beautiful gesture and army!

[@VinceVenturella]

WHen Tom was here visiting while I was finishing this, I knew there was no other option. ;)

[@tonyslab4839]

Great ep - will be applying these ideas to finish painting my craftworld eldar army. Looking fwd to the next one !

[@VinceVenturella]

Awesome, always happy to help. :)

[@peterlageri4177]

The Hobby Cheating videos have certainly improved in presentation, style and humour over the years. I think a big change came after you had Jon, Scott and Sam over for a week-end. I like how you how talk into the camera at the start and those funny little intermezzos. Good humour on that "so you think you are done?" Best Regards Peter Rasch Lageri, Denmark.

Excellent cameo by Tom! I hope you're not in too much discomfort whilst you recover from your injury. My lumbar spine is made from cornflakes, any amount of sitting causes me pain. I've switched full time to standing desks.

Respirator, extremely toxic... 😅 hehe will start using one, ive only now gotten into airbrush and never heard or thought about it until now... Thanks for the life saving tip, and great army!!

[@TimothyNiederriter]

I liked this video for the take on yellow. Wish I could like it again after Vince mentioned getting schwifty with the brown paint.

[@VinceVenturella]

Thank you. :)

[@MrDraconder]

I never thought of using free-hand patterns to break up a colour on the armour. I have 60 bestigor with Tau Light Ochre armour which I dabbed with a sponge to create some rust underneath but even with that, the burnt orange is quite strong. I was wondering though what patterns would fit a BoC army, I doubt they would be the kind of race to go for intricate patterns.

[@VinceVenturella]

Any simple pattern can work. :)

[@magnusmillerwilson]

Amazing. Thanks for walking through this in such detail!

[@kevinhayes517]

Great tutorial with lots of tips to absorb over the next few weeks. Thanks so much for your teaching, especially with a bad back….hope it gets better quickly.

[@VinceVenturella]

Glad it was helpful! All better now, but I apprecaite it. :)

[@MightyMax2756]

This is a great hobby cheating best of video. It puts so many techniques on display, and shows a great overall process for painting an army

[@VinceVenturella]

[@willschuur7426]

At the end of the yellow, you mention a bit of yellow-white, curious if you mean something like a scalecolor tenere yellow or if that’s off base with what you’re implying? 5:19 Btw love this scheme, using it on my bloodbowl orcs!

[@VinceVenturella]

Yep, that's right on.

Yeah, that's rough.

[@Lifewast3d]

I think I used a half a pot of streaking grime hosing down my gargants and Kragnos for my two nashcon lists. Videos like this from you and other KZbinrs are what enabled me to SpeedPaint them in time for the event.

[@VinceVenturella]

I saw the army, it looked very nice and I enjoyed your army sign, quite funny. :)

​@@VinceVenturella Thanks, I really appreciate that. Nashcon was a fun event, and I am looking forward to going next year as well.

I just wanted to drop a big thank you. I decided to get into AoS and chose Ironjawz (because Waaagh and stuff), and I know that with my current painting skill level I wouldnt get nowhere close to the results Im getting with a video like this.

[@clintonliem7561]

Amazing work Vince, as always. I really like this method and would love to do this for my ironjawz army but in blue armour. What would be the shadow colour/s for blue armour please? Would love to hear your suggestions. Would a red under tones/ shadow colour?

[@VinceVenturella]

Something like a deep purple, red or even black could all work, depending on the tone you wanted.

[@clawhammr666]

Excellent work, hope your back is healing quickly, I just realized last time I used grime I just went in straight with spirit, not whipe on dry, explains why it came out weirdly brighter then before.

[@VinceVenturella]

All better and yep, the key is the dry wipe to start. :)

[@SomeBlackDude26]

Incredible. That quality in 5 days is astonishing. I'm sure it was 40ish hours but impressive nonetheless. Your expertise shines through in an amazing way.

[@hurinironfoot6865]

Great stuff! Thanks again!

[@dannitz3280]

Really enjoyed this. I’m getting an airbrush for Christmas so I am going through a lot of your videos that feature it to learn. Any tips on taking this process but doing blue armor? Mainly with the under-shade.

[@VinceVenturella]

Glad it was helpful! Really anything can work for blue, a traditional black to white will work fine, but you can use something more exotic like a purple to ice yellow for some nice effects.

[@VinceVenturella]

I wasn't expecting to do two this year. :)

[@guineapigsith699]

@@VinceVenturella Hey man far as I'm concerned they're top notch amazing infotainment. Any new take is really valuable, like doing the yellow. I'm planning a wood elf army. I want to get a "sunlight shining through the canopy" look for the cloaks. I'm thinking thinking zenithal prime red, orange, white, then yellow (ink?), then the green as a contrast type glaze (ink again?), finally a deep blue oil for the shadows and a warm white oil for the highlights. I could do with your guidance. Am I thinking about this right?

[@theeliteeaglegamer5893]

For the "edge highlighting for free" drybrushing, what surface finish is best to just catch the edges? matte? satin? gloss? I worry something too matt and the drybrush will leave paint on the flat areas, and too gloss and the edges will spill over off the edges with a streaky look

[@VinceVenturella]

Doesn't really matter much, it's more about the softness of the brush and the amount of paint. A little satin can help a little, but you can do it with any.

[@chicagohobbyhero]

Dat rim do..... oooh yeah... slower. Lol. Great work and great tips as always, looking forward to learning how to do a cabbage

[@VinceVenturella]

Next week is going to be a fun video for sure.

[@wing459]

Vince: "watch me get a whole army done in a week" Me: "watch me do a whole 10 Necron Warriors in two" Out of curiosity, do you thin your varnishes when using them through the airbrush? I've got AK matte varnish for my airbrush but I honestly just never get around to using it out of trepidation of getting the settings/consistency right and then just keep spending money on spray cans instead.

[@Questioningbasics]

Me: Watch me do an whole Intercessor in seven

[@Mikey__R]

Watch me paint a paladin by November!

[@sushimandaddi]

I do thin it through the airbrush but you cant really mess it up just don't put on too much. You just want to thin it so it will spray evenly though the airbrush

[@Mikey__R]

@@sushimandaddi agreed, varnish is fairly forgiving of dilution ratios. And being transparent, you don't need to worry so much about overspray.

[@brkfstfd]

I think I heard him say once or twice that he thins everything that goes through the airbrush. :)

[@mylesjohnson7351]

Good on you for saying wear a mask while using white sprit I see youtubers who airbrush lacquer paint with no mask on and use lacquer thinner to clean it with no mask

[@VinceVenturella]

Yeah, you don't mess around with enamels.

[@buzzedaldrin7316]

They look awesome and you achieved more in a week than many of us would in months! Would definitely love to see a hobby cheating video that covers different streaking grime techniques.

A little ekstra question Daler Rowney FW has two orange colors Flame Orange and Fluorescent orange which one did you use in the combination with the Yellow Ochre?

Flame Orange, I don't like the Fluor.

[@breakupgoogle4584]

Master Vince... I have been using the Vallejo Varnishes (also looking to order the AK ultra matte soon) but they really want to frost up when fired through the airbrush. The instructions say to use water but folks online say that the water is what causes the frosting, they recommend airbrush thinner for it. Even so it still looked like it was trying to go frosty just enough to de-saturate some color. How do you thin it to avoid this?

[@VinceVenturella]

Never use water, it's absolutely the water. A few drops of thinner is all you need. That being said, ultra matte is what you need.

[@benzen69]

Panting caused extreme pain - I only managed to get eight hours in. You're a warrior!

[@VinceVenturella]

Always gotta keep fighting. :)

[@grafzahl3047]

Wonderful work and a fun video! As for the back pain, I feel your pain! I have been unable to sit and paint for 6 weeks due to 3 herniated discs at once. I would also be interested in how you paint other models. In our game group, for example, BattleTech is currently a topic, and I would also like to paint the small mechs well. However, this seems much more difficult than, for example, on the Godmachines of Adeptus Titanicus.

[@VinceVenturella]

You're not wrong. :)

[@dornjr]

A little late to the IJ Partay, but between you, Tyler, Rob, Nathan, Leo, Party at the All-Points, Ministomp, etc. I was powerless to resist thee IJ any longer! Question, if I'm following this scheme, but skipping the grime step, is it just stop after highlights and varnish? Or would you change anything? Thanks again Vince! 🙂👍

[@VinceVenturella]

I wouldn't skip it, as it provides necessary depth as I am not applying shadow any other way. That being said, you could always clean it more and get it cleaned anywhere but the deepest areas.

Just good old Abaddon Black. ;)

[@LucidLivingYT]

Can I ask what material/texture paint you used for the bases here? I love how simple it looks but also has a lot of variance in elevation and dunes! Also maybe some options for the Light Rust, most airbrush paints around here are citadel, but maybe I could do some mixing? Would like to try this method for some of my own yellow!

[@VinceVenturella]

They were pretty simple, basically what I did here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z57Sp319bc6pma8

[@jamiemck]

Hi vince, great content as always! I have a couple of quick questions.. 1 - is the streaking grime stage interchangeable with an oil wash? Or does one have more benefits over the other? 2 - what did you use to create the base texture effects? I love that dry/cracked/arid/burnt Earth look but not sure what the best product to use would be Thanks as always!

[@VinceVenturella]

1) Sure, it just takes longer to dry. 2) Just some Vallejo Basing paste and some citadel crackle martian ironearth.

[@Grendelnz]

Hi vince, im in the middle of doing this same army and was wondering how you did the flesh and hooves on the goregruntas? i could not spot this in the video (unless i missed it). ive watched this 3 times now and its what got me motivated to paint these ironjaws.

[@VinceVenturella]

So the hooves were just simple brown to white straitions (I have a video on bone straitions). The Skin was a little bit of airbrush work with pink skin to ivory mix and then a very light wash of reikland fleshade.

Thanks, this was a lot of fun. :)

[@MightyMax2756]

When you do a contrasting undercoat like this how much of it do you cover with your base coat ie the yellow here? Do you still cover the base completely, or do you still leave a bit of the undercoat in the shadows. It looks like that is what you do, but I haven’t tried it myself and it’s such a different concept to me

[@VinceVenturella]

So the answer is 80-90%, I leave a little of lower color showing, through though you can put a slight yellow glaze over it.

[@NapGod]

This is great the view of the whole process on the same models instead of discrete topics is super helpful. Dumb question: is there a real difference between airbrush Flow Improver and things like Flow Aid from liquitex?

[@VinceVenturella]

Nope, basically the same thing.

[@NapGod]

@@VinceVenturella thank you kindly

[@puntedagain398]

Can I ask what the motivation to use bone white instead of white ink for the final zenithal layer?

[@briochepanda]

The yellow content in the off white will be a warmer shade and help bolster the yellow I'm thinking. That and it won't tint the red beneath towards pink like a pure white would, and instead tint it more towards orange.

[@VinceVenturella]

Brioche nailed it.
