@@MutsuKazumacan confirm. I did essentially the method in the video, starting with Scale75 Necro Gold, then wash, then Viking, then Dwarf gold. The result is similar, but as Mutsu says, less gaudy which is my big complaint about Retributor Gold.
Really love that first model. Since these guys are supposed to be fighting in the swamps, I wonder if P3's Blighted Gold instead of the Retributor Armor/Doombull mix as a base would make them look a little more grungy. I've been looking for an excuse to use it and this might be it.
Do you prime most of your minis in black or does it depend on your colour scheme? I think this is one of your best videos, I love all 3 of these Stormcast designs
Hi, zenithal prime, followed by contrast then oils seem to be all the rage now. Would be awesome to show how drybrushing a zenithal and later drybrushing highlights and edges with artis opus brushes will turn out. Just a suggestion. Cheers.
Love how these have come out. Just painting a warlock at the moment but really struggling with getting my brushes clean. How do you get your brushes clean?
One clean them more often as you paint , they will last longer also. I clean my acrylic brushes with dawn dish soap about every 4, or 5 painting sessions I'll use some hair conditioner...like for people.
Been following your guides, it has really improved my paint! one question, for the final edge highlight you did for the Celestial Vindicator, what paint did you use?
Love the work especially the matte black it was gorgeous thinking about doing something similar with my stormcast eternals. But I was wondering if you could do some Seraphon painting they are my first army and would love to see you paint them and get some inspiration from you.
Hey dude, it's our Dampening Pad, it introduces a small amount of moisture to the painting process, which is useful for all the reasons diluting paint in traditional paint is! It encourages smoother applications, and less chalky finishes. Check out our ultimate drybrush guide for some more info, also our flawless airbrush blends video ua-cam.com/video/kxuY2NXeI2M/v-deo.html
Hi Byron Harry from Amsterdam i enjoy watching these videos and try to emulate them best i can. And have a wonderfull time trying . At this moment just one question you often show those beautifull reference books can you tell them witch you use and maybe the writer i ques Horus Heresy but maybe you can tell me witch to get for those beautifull paint exampled. for now thnx very much
Wow Byron, greatly executed. I wanted to paint my Eternals in the Anvils of the Heldenhammer scheme before i saw this video. No i realy think about the classic gold scheme and try your dry brush method. The blue scheme also looks amazing. Damn… now i can’t decide. 😂👍🏼
@@ArtisOpus i did. Tried the gold scheme and the black scheme... but I´m not quite satisfied with my results. Gold turned out more like bronze. With the black scheme I had some issues with parts, that looked kinda chalky after the drybrushing. I still struggle to get the smooth result like in your videos (especially the Black Templar Armor Video) and to use the dampening pad propperly. Practice, practice, practice... i know.^^
Great guides on the main parts of these guys but its a Shame you skip so many of the steps. Like at 16:15 where all of a sudden he has a bunch of gold and red on him?
Ive really been looking for a unique take on the sakura cherry blossom theme, and I am definetly gonna steal this for my new Sylvaneth Army!! I hope I can do it justice and will try and figure out how to apply it to the treelords and kurnoth hunters! Appreciate and love your work!!!
Thank you to your videos! You’ve inspired me to pick up the brush more often now! And thank you for your kind words on our channel. Anyway I have been looking at the tools you use and I have a couple of questions, not sure if this is the way to do it anyway here goes: 1. How does the texture pallete work in terms of cleaning it? Or does it get “colourful” really fast? 2. I was thinking about picking up some series D after watching your videos. How do we clean it properly? Is just standard soap? 3. If I picked up the brush (series d) for stippling and dry brushing, assuming I clean it after every time I use it, how long are they expected to last? 4. How many of these do you suggest picking up (what size) ? If I’m thinking of starting a new project on dominion.
1.) Prime it whatever colour you prime with most commonly - 'start again' as much as you like :) 2.) Yeah dude, check our ultimate guide, or any long in depth drybrush only video, most of my cleaning happens as I work, cleaning your drybrush and drybrushing are the same thing, texture palette is helpful for this, use as a washboard :). 3.) 2000points for larger brushes, roughly, I still use some very old ones on the channel, they're shorter, and get 'demoted' to stippling/heavy duty stuff 4.) D Set + XL, maybe grab an S3 + 5 for some beefy efficient washes, too. Hope that helps! Let me know in another comment chain if you've any further questions :)
Really nice vid, thank you👍 I'm not sure I could pick a favorite. I'd really like to see an ivory or maybe pearlescent + gold and black/dark grey trim scheme
Hey Chris, we've had a few peeps asking for particular chambers, we'll be doing a poll of the top voted ones previously requested in our community post, fingers crossed they made it! Having said that, I do love painting SCE, and we are definitely looking to build up a nice gallery of tutorials for them over time, regardless of what wins the vote! I do love purple + gold also, which may well be a contributing factor!
@@ArtisOpus I second this haha! My chamber is them purple bois and I've been looking for some new cheats, tricks, and techniques for so long on how to streamline and improve their look. Love your stuff and the SCE, can't wait to see what you do next. Thanks so much for bringing attention to drybrush and how you can really push it in creative and unexpected ways :)
Do yo have a video on how you did that awesome power sword effect on the blade? I'm starting first set of these guys, and LOVE the black colour scheme you've done!
Please! Please! Can you paint some of the new Stormcast in Rose Gold using base coat metallic and contrast over it. And perhaps paint another in Astral Templars colors. Thanks!
Hey dude, please check out our complete drybrushing guide, and our flawless blends video for more info, we explain everything there, any questions please let us know in another comment, YT isn't great for notification sfor ongoing conversations! Here's the first vid, I hope it helps? ua-cam.com/video/kxuY2NXeI2M/v-deo.html
Bought the paints you’ve used and luckily only primed and washed the dominion models so should be a quick fix. Please don’t upload more schemes until I’ve finished 😂
Generally yes, although approaching in this manner there's probably net no time saving if you're doing a small amount of minis (because of airbrush cleaning). For batches it's still the fastest to use your AirB :)
So I am new to the hobby and I'm going to try anvils like in this video. When it comes to the matte varnish I'll be painting it on with a brush, did you do the entire model and then paint the gold etc over the varnish or just paint the varnish onto the black armour areas?
Love the look of these Vindictors, very nice job! Just a quick question... In your previous video on the Annihilators, you used Reikland as a shade for the gold but in this example you opted for Guilliman contrast, do you notice much of a difference in finish between the two choices and do you have a preference? I currently only have a couple of contrast paints but I have the entire range of shades, is it worth shelling our for more contrast paints as an alternate, or perhaps better option than shades? Or just stick with what I have? Thanks.
All my paints are based around a Dark Angel 40K army could you do something with DA Green and a true Bleached Bone or in my case an Ash Grey. Great work so far looking forward to the Orc/Orks/Orruks...
For black, my secret weapon is Vallejo German Grey, borrowed from a Raven Guard kill team post on reddit a few years back. It's very similar to Corvus Black I think. It's a very deep grey, and with a Nuln Oil wash becomes a pure black in the recesses. I basically use it for any black except for "pure" black, which again, Vallejo Black is my go to for that.
Great vid. The technique used on the gold Vindicator would work well for the boxes of Custodes I seem to be collecting but not painting. Proof fast doesn’t have to mean average.
Haa, it absolutely would, Joanne! And yeah, every now and again method trumps hours ground out, always feels like a winner when you catch that perfect middle line :)
Fantastic video, all three look amazing. Would you be able to do a Knights Excelsior tutorial please? I've been airbrushing White Scar all over to get a pure white colour then recess shading with thinned Seraphim Sepia. Looks ok, but would using different tones of Citadel whites ( Corax White, Pallid Wych Flesh & White Scar) lend themselves to drybrushing? Thanks Paul
Love the Black! Will this greys drybrush+nuln oil work on non-armor parts like cloaks, skin etc? Also do you think it could be the same to use Abandon Black->Corvus Black->Eshin Grey->Dawnstone? Thanks!
Hey dude, it will! And yeah, you just take the same theory, and mix up the colours and experiment, you can always wash 1x more if you need it to look more black, etc! I've been recommended Vallejo German Grey, which I will try out some time, too. Good luck!
@@ArtisOpus a final question please.....i usually don't like Drybrush because of the grainy look....with 1/2x wash, does the grainy look disappear? thanks
@@ArtisOpus Sorry, didn't catch that untill later. Compared it to a pot of Sotek and it does look a bit more green. Though I think I might swap out the hues to have even more green/teal if I end up doing mine like this.
So much new quality content in such short time. Your work never cease to amaze Byron! "Sadly" you've almost convinced me that I need a Dominion box (I do need more minis for a game i'm not playing^^). But I need to add to my pile of shame I guess. ;) Will have to try out the smurf blue and the black in the future.
Dude, your stuff has taught me so much! Where do you get that pallette you wipe your brush on? I am curious to invest in one. Does it clean, or do you just gather on it?
It's one of our products! store.artis-opus.com/collections/series-d-drybrushing I never clean it, just re-prime black before new projects. We now have an XXL version, it's pretty chunky! Great working area, and we've redesigned the palette in general with more flat space to play with paint, also.
Love to see a diffrent way to get a much darker gold type for the armor. I think i will give it a try because the suggested method of Warhammer do not fit for me
Just wanna check, if I wanna make a midnight blue matte armour, would you recommend introducing the blue at the wash stage? Or should I start with the blue at the first drybrush(eg replacing abaddon black with kantor blue)?
Great question, you could wash black for ultra deep, or mix a little in with your black initially. Careful with the highlights or dry rush as it is easy to go to pastel. The wash can bring this back if you go too far though! Let us know how it goes :)
Love your tutorials! Recently started myself on miniature painting and got the Dominion box set. Where did you get the different reference pics of the 3 you painted, same for the Hobgrotz
Wow! I love the look of the Celestial Vindicators. If I weren't such a fan of Hallowed Knights in the lore, I'd totally do it.(still would like to know how to do Hallowed Knights though)
You like it? It's a lovely easy technique, plenty of opportunity for variation (dropping purple in the wash, and using a tiny bit in the basecoat = amazing. Enjoy!
It would be interesting to see a Grey Knight themed color scheme on these.
I might have to steal that matt black recipe for some Infinity minis. Great video as always Byron!
Cheers, dude! Hadn't thought of use on that style, it'd be so perfect for their setting!
reallllly well done on the all gold model.
Thanks dude! All about working with the mini, not against it :)
@@ArtisOpus what did you use on the plume for the gold model?
It's been a pleasure to watch your work. You nailed all 3 of them. Could one of your next videos be, how to paint a Knights Excelsior.
I love the Matt Black! I would like to see dry brushing the Yndrasta
Me too, I think that's where I may be heading!
That old gold is just outstanding man, I love how this was done. Thank you again for another quality video
My pleasure, Thomas, it's properly rewarding to do, give it a try!
if you want a less gaudy gold than gw, try scale75 viking gold and sahde it with something like reikland if you want to dull it down further
@@MutsuKazumacan confirm. I did essentially the method in the video, starting with Scale75 Necro Gold, then wash, then Viking, then Dwarf gold.
The result is similar, but as Mutsu says, less gaudy which is my big complaint about Retributor Gold.
Might do the thunderstrike brotherhood in the black or the old gold color scheme
Did you pick one dude? How did it go? Let us know in another comment so I don't miss the notification.
this video helpme aloooot, i paint my firt mini follow this video 🙌🙌
Oh dude, we're honoured!

Not a bad idea at all dude, or you could subtly put purple/green washes in there somewhere!

...i learned a lot ☝🏻
Yeah what about the Hallowed Knights, Knights Excelsior, and that burgundy color schemes?
They all look amazing. The Anvils of Heldenhamer especially stands out.
Trying the Anvils scheme for my first Stormcast minis. Love the aesthetic and the step by step is great!
The gold armor miniature looks more bronze the way you painted it. It's nice though.
True man, could definitely go softer colour wise! Thanks :)
only just caught this, i wonder if storm cast could borrow a night lords colour scheme with the lightning and various tones of that dark blue
They absolutely could dude, you could even put black in the wash or very dark blue!
You mentioned white gold ... any recommendations on a bright white gold?
'White Gold' from Monument (pro acryl) has been recommended to me a lot, I just got it to try it out :)
elementgames.co.uk/search?q=white+gold
