Vostroyans have always been one of my absolute favorite lines of all time, I'm still trying to paint all of mine up. Metal mold lines hurt my soul though.
Nice work Zorpy! I've been painting large batches (100+ models) for years so here's some quick tips that I'd change in your process; 1. Put the same poses on a single stick (like Luke did), it's a bit unwieldy at the start but once you get the hang of it, you'll really speed up. Picking up models and putting them back, finding the part to paint, that makes for a lot of downtime overall. 2. Get a more shallow wet palette, not having to reach in will increase your control. 3. Use a colour primer or zenithal primer, it will cover mistakes more easily. 4. Really do all the same colour in one go. It's hard but more efficient and gives a good level of satisfaction when doing it in one session. 5. Use your best brush for the job, and the bigger the better for more paint in the body. Just my 2 cents, great work mate!
@@Zorpazorp Awesome, looking forward to seeing that! Also, have a look at the vallejo game colour extra opaque range, they cover really well and are excellent for batchpainting where you don't want a lot of thin layers.
I have the same project sat on my desk! 80 childhood dream vostroyan first born inspired by the book Rebel Winter. Can't ask for better inspiration to get them done then this.
@@Zorpazorp Nice, just threw them up now. Just doing the base coats for ten of these guys took me ages. Massive respect for getting as many as you did done. Look forward to seeing them all finished up.
Live this! Hits very close to home i followed the tandaris Outbreak when it came out but gave them all away a few years a go. Spent the last year trying track them down again hard to find only printed un the Aus/Nz run. But have been spending the last week carrying on painting the army i had in storage for 14years. And loving it again. Well done!
@@Zorpazorp i now have 2 extra copies of the American prints trying to find these damn things in batch buys 😓 such a great campaign. Cant believe it was only published down here! I even sanded off the rivets on my tanks and recreated that chimera with the sisters drum bolter. Also that leman russ tank vox commander! I have some extra hq models if you want them? I dont need double ups of those, banner/medic/company comander spare. Hit me up on Instagram @legion_minis if you want them 🤙
I know right, bizarrrre, was such a good article series. Yeah I'm going g to do something similar and probably kitbash the tanks a bit too with some Russian world war two vehicles! Ooooooh I'll hit you up man, I don't have the banner and Company Commander!
This is a great looking set of armies. I love the great variety of Imperial Guard regiments in the whole of the Imperium. I used to have a Vallhallan army and I loved them.
Yes love this! Hopefully we can see them all being finished soon TM. Also would love if GW released more guard regiments in plastic or maybe just some upgrade sprews to have more guard variety
Dude, considering what you were trying to achieve I'd say that was a huge win!!! You don't wanna rush them and do a sub-standard paint job especially as they are a childhood army. I think you went about it just right and if they had been less complex and detailed models no doubt you'd have smashed it!!!
For those looking to build their own Vostroyan army, but can't/don't want to dole out for vintage metal models, there is a third party alternative: Wargames Atlantic. Their "Les Grognards" boxes (a regular infantry box and a Command + Heavy Weapons box) have all you need to fill out a foot-slogging army. Complete with plenty of special weapons, medic and banner options, special heads for commanders, laspistols and chainswords and power fists, four kinds of heavy weapons (basically, all you need to build everything except rocket launchers), and six different standard head options (three kinds of headwear, in both bare face and gas mask versions, and that's just in the standard box). They're not quite as ornate as the original Vostroyans, but they're not too shabby sculpts. Both boxes are $35 each (with increasing discounts for buying in bulk), and the infantry box has 24 models. It's a great deal.
What a mammoth effort. Shame you couldn't get them all done, but for such special miniatures it's best not to rush. The Tandaris Outbreak campaign is the absolute pinnacle of White Dwarf for me, I dream of doing a narrative campaign like that one day. You may not have won the challenge, but to have taken such a solid step towards finishing a dream army, you definitely didn't lose!
@@Zorpazorp right ?! I have been using it for plastic figures too. It covers nicely and so thin. I find the contrast range works really well on white as well as the light grey.
Blood Ravens, Vostroyans... dude, we have the same taste in armies. This was an incredible challenge, and though the going was tough, you seriously performed admirably, especially considering your choice of troop! They look great, man, even with just a base coat and a wash, and I can’t wait to see the full dream force. Cities of Death was always my favorite era (I got in at 3.5, right on the cusp of that beautiful 4th edition rulebook), and seeing these guys again after so many years is heartwarming. Great work, and now I’m on to catch Luke’s version! (Another love of mine was browsing the old bits catalogues, so I’m very familiar with the Praetorian Guard as well).
Yeah I'm the same man, Cotes od Death was basically all Inpkayed for like three years. We loved it, I started playing the week 4th came out so I was pretty hooked Haha Glad you enjoyed Yasha!
I'm a year late, but these models are some of the most intense models I've ever painted. I've just slapping out 4 in a row just yesterday and it's taking forever. That and all the bloody pouches are gonna send me to a mental hospital.
That is some crazy commitment to the hobby you love. My mind is blown that you both have the patience to even attempt this epic task. I get itchy and anxious after around five minis 🤣 It’s made for a very entertaining watch though, maybe you could attempt this once a week for us 👍🏻 I’m going to checkout Luke’s vid now. Cheers.
It was a real challenge aye Haha, without Luke to keep me on task I would have been struggling to sit still Haha. We were basically talking the whole time to stay focused 🤣
Teenage Lachie speaking through the vessel of Adult Lachie is making Adult Snake Eyes remember the Chaos dreams of Teenage Snake Eyes...Damn you Lachie!
Great video guys. Well you two have inspired me to do my own painting challenge. This Saturday/Sunday gonna try two 10 hour sessions to knock out the last of my Rohan from Pelennor Fields box. 23, 11 on foot 12 calvary. All are primed and ready to paint. Thanks for the great videos guys.
Disaster struck Friday night. Stand for Witch King fell beast broke. Spent all night crafting my own base. So that slowed me down. Only finished the Fellowship! But I am having so much fun painting these!
Really good job. I'm fairly new to the hobby and never saw those models before. They are super cool and for what little time you have in them they look really good.
Great video, I was playing a mini game keeping my eye on the models drooping of the pots when you put them down. I was sure one was going to fall off during the time lapse at some point
Gooooood lord a comment on this video haha! Don't see that very often, big swing and a miss sadly haha. Love my vosties, hopefully see them again soon. Glad you enjoyed it skooma!
Man i really enjoyed the opening. Obviously it was all good, but the start reminded me of Lord of the Rings. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring;
Lachie, I love you like a brother, but honestly, I could never bet on you to win a speed painting competition (After seeing you paint on Battlegames of Middle Earth).
Thanks for the advice lachy the army has changed Warband 1 stays the same but i lose 1 veteran with bow Warband 2 stays the same but madril is leader instead of cirion Warband 3 beregond 6 citadel guard with bow Warband 4 faramir with bow, armoured horse heavy armour and bow with 6 knights of minas tirith with shield
Yeah that's great! You dont have to have all the knights together either, you can do both, have them as a large strike force to hit a flank, or have them interspersed to.mess.up the enemy line
Ehat your opinion on this 800 point gondorian army i am building. Warband 1, boromir captain of the white tower with shield and banner of gondor, 12 guard of the fountain court with shield and 3veterans of osgiliath all with shield 1 with bow and 1 with sword. Warband 2, cirion, 6 womt with shield, 6 citadel guard with spear, Warband 3, madril, 2 womt with shield, 8 with spear and shield, Warband 4, beregond, 6 citadel guard with bow Warband 5 anborn by himself. My 800 point gondor arm in the making
I got the soul wars set almost 2 weeks ago. I have only 1 and 1/2 models painted because I cant decide on a color scheme and I paint about 5-8 hours a day. You are not a slow painter xD you won this challenge 110% those look incredible man especially for how little time you had. I definitely hope to see this russians vs zombies scenario on the channel one day 😊
Chaos cultists @ yeah, I know what you mean. Someone told me about a channel that mentioned that particular issue with painting/ almost being stuck & not starting because of choosing the right scheme/ or being afraid to pick a scheme and then like another better😑
@@adamfox1669 Oh yea man its absolutely paralyzing and it takes all the fun right out of it and makes it a very stressful mess. My worst thing is I'm so afraid that I'll find a better scheme or color or technique halfway through an army and then want to do that so I spend more time painting old beat up test models than I do on my actual army. The only reason I keep going is because I know once I finally have the confidence to push forward and continue that thats when it becomes really enjoyable. Just all the second guessing and indecision is pure toxicity.
@@chaoscultist5679 I remember the channel! Check out Goobertown hobbies. He mentioned those exact issues (I still struggle with them even after I pick a color scheme)& gives some practical advice about moving forward. Good luck and at least we have a hobby we enjoy and any painting is still improvement
@@adamfox1669 Oh yea I've been watching Goobertown since a bit after Brent started it. Him and Miniac, Squidmar, and Midwinter Minis are my favorite youtubers :D I constantly change my mind after picking a scheme too lmao but yea one day we will be good enough at this to just enjoy it and not second guess ourselves ^_^ best of luck to you too!
Beating Luke at speed painting is a tall order! You handicaped yourself by going for display quality....and I know how you feel, I felt so intimidated when I painted my Blood Bowl second edition Skavens 7s team.....
I long for when i can do the narrative campaign i have been planning for years with my hektarians vs orks. though it may well just become an audio drama instead
@@Zorpazorp yeah that's an awesome idea! And the FW tanks are perfect for a Vostroyan heirloom centrepiece vehicle that's a bit different to the baneblade- like the Malcadore variants, which look perfect for Vostroyans, and play really well in game with the extra range and Firstborn Pride strat.
2006 the zenith of the White Dwarf? Dude, you're hallucinating. Or too young! :D The WD's best issues were released between 1999 and 2002... it all went downhill from there :(
Haha those were good years too! But I guess I can o ly speak to the aussie ones, as all the few as true articles were actually region based in those years.
@@Zorpazorp oh, yes... that's right! We also had our own White Dwarf here in Germany, made up of translated articles from the British magazine and stuff that was written exclusively for the German speaking market. But it was 80% translated British articles, I think. I think the best stuff was done around the time the Hordes of Chaos book for 6th edition was published. There were so many cool ideas for Chaos Spawns, the whole Path To Glory thing, the Carnivale Of Chaos for Mordheim... and just so many cool Chaos armies from GW employees. I started playing Warhammer during the 5th edition and continued all the way through to 8th, but I'd say nothing can beat the 6th edition. Great minis, great rules, great hobby vibe and support... those were the good days.
Only watching this now but it is great 😁 next time slap down the basic colours then use oils to blend everything. What takes many minutes with acrylics and alot of knowledge and practice can be done in seconds with oils with little practice. I love oils ha I use them more and more. I am also trying to find old and decent condition third edition Chaos and the eye of terror campaign. I first got into minis with third edition (my friend got it we played so much I was 10 he was 11) third edition starter set is still the best set to this day with 5th edition right behind it (still have everything from that even the old ruler sticks in the box ha)
Love it man, EOT was the SHITTTTTT, I haven't played with oils yet but I have been messing with enamels lately and will defintiely be bringing them into my work more!
i mean the complexity of your models vs lukes was more then a bit off, for a direct challenge. but i think you both did great jobs... lukes might be done, but yours look better. cheers loved both vids!
Man, Imperial Guard used to be so diverse with such awesome sculpts. All that's left is boring (cadian) or horrible plastic sculpts (catachan) that are far inferior to their metal predecessors. Those Vostroyan look so gorgeous
As you noted you were painting to very different standards. Also, Luke is a former commission painter, and has done this type of work many many times before. What you did was by no means a failure.
Dude, do yourself a favour and get a wet palette container that is shallower. You are working yourself to death dipping so deep. I sacrificed size to get a shallow one which is about an inch deep. I also use a dense sponge rather than the super wipes you have. It seems to control the water in the pan better and allows me to control the water on top of the paper. All tips from guys like you so consider this a forward pass from dudes wiser than me. As an aside, have you tried to get a dedicated wet palette? All the suppliers in Sydney say they stock them but no one has one to sell, even on line.
Check out Luke's video here
The most anticipated crossover since the Avengers.
Surprised it took us so long haha
Vostroyans have always been one of my absolute favorite lines of all time, I'm still trying to paint all of mine up. Metal mold lines hurt my soul though.
I felt that pain bro hahaha
Damn, that intro was pretty epic.
No YOU'RE pretty epic 😚
I'm glad to see I am not the only one that started a Vostroryan and Lost and the Damned army because of those battle reports
HELL YESSS
You're a crazy man mate, I would say that is a solid batch painting effort.
Haha thanks brother

I shifted the goalposts so much hahahaha, can't believe I thought I could get all 45 done haha
@@Zorpazorp I do it all the time, I like to think of it as managing my own expectations rather than shifting goalposts! xD
Thats a better way to put it 🤣
My favorite video of yours so far! Love seeing 40k , especially with some nostalgia attached.
Awesome! Thank you!
I like that Luke didn't rub it in by mentioning basing at all :D
That's an astonishing painting achievement on your part, and the minis look great.
yes but luke did those out of the 24hr period and had them done before hand... (still amazing feat tho:) )

Him and Miniac, Squidmar, and Midwinter Minis are my favorite youtubers :D I constantly change my mind after picking a scheme too lmao but yea one day we will be good enough at this to just enjoy it and not second guess ourselves ^_^ best of luck to you too!
The middle earth collection 🤤🤤🤤
Hehehe
Beating Luke at speed painting is a tall order! You handicaped yourself by going for display quality....and I know how you feel, I felt so intimidated when I painted my Blood Bowl second edition Skavens 7s team.....
Ah those are lovely models I'd be intimidated too haha
Where do you put all of these models! I keep running out of space
Tell me about it!!!!!! I have a display case for specific projects I'm proud of and then they live in boxes and army cases 🤣🤣
Yeah... painting your dream army to a beautiful standard in 24 hours does not a fun time make 🤣 A valiant effort though!
I'm happy with the progress but qad pipe dream haha
woaaa hard challenge this figurine
This is great mate, I have 54 metal Tallarn I need to paint :). I did the same thing haha
Hell yeah dude GET EM DONE!
Hey you didn't need to bring up Steve. How could you 😢😂
I agree. Still too soon :(
Legends deserve a mention :(
Hey man! when are you going to post the Star Wars legion campaign? thanks
Part two has been shot, just waiting to edit it, hopefully within the month :)
Awesome! Thanks
waiting in excitement :)
I long for when i can do the narrative campaign i have been planning for years with my hektarians vs orks. though it may well just become an audio drama instead
Ooooh that sounds awesome!
Great video. Are there any most Vostroyan vids planned? And have you posted your paint scheme online anywhere?
There absolutely are dude, but they're a bit far off!
@@Zorpazorp Fantastic, I look forward to it! It will motivate me to finally paint up my own haha
@@cswa4476 I'm actualkly loving those FW heresy guard models at the moment would look really good blended i nwith Vosties, bit of conversion work!
@@Zorpazorp yeah that's an awesome idea! And the FW tanks are perfect for a Vostroyan heirloom centrepiece vehicle that's a bit different to the baneblade- like the Malcadore variants, which look perfect for Vostroyans, and play really well in game with the extra range and Firstborn Pride strat.
@@cswa4476 Yeah absolutelyyyyyyyyy I was looking at them last night!
2006 the zenith of the White Dwarf? Dude, you're hallucinating. Or too young! :D
The WD's best issues were released between 1999 and 2002... it all went downhill from there :(
Haha those were good years too! But I guess I can o ly speak to the aussie ones, as all the few as true articles were actually region based in those years.
@@Zorpazorp oh, yes... that's right!
We also had our own White Dwarf here in Germany, made up of translated articles from the British magazine and stuff that was written exclusively for the German speaking market.
But it was 80% translated British articles, I think.
I think the best stuff was done around the time the Hordes of Chaos book for 6th edition was published. There were so many cool ideas for Chaos Spawns, the whole Path To Glory thing, the Carnivale Of Chaos for Mordheim... and just so many cool Chaos armies from GW employees.
I started playing Warhammer during the 5th edition and continued all the way through to 8th, but I'd say nothing can beat the 6th edition.
Great minis, great rules, great hobby vibe and support... those were the good days.
I actually sisnt play in sixth, it was 4th and 5th for me :D but I did love that era of White Dwarf for sure.
Glad you enjoyed the vid mate!!
Only watching this now but it is great 😁 next time slap down the basic colours then use oils to blend everything. What takes many minutes with acrylics and alot of knowledge and practice can be done in seconds with oils with little practice. I love oils ha I use them more and more. I am also trying to find old and decent condition third edition Chaos and the eye of terror campaign. I first got into minis with third edition (my friend got it we played so much I was 10 he was 11) third edition starter set is still the best set to this day with 5th edition right behind it (still have everything from that even the old ruler sticks in the box ha)
Love it man, EOT was the SHITTTTTT, I haven't played with oils yet but I have been messing with enamels lately and will defintiely be bringing them into my work more!
@@Zorpazorp I hope you enjoy them. O use enamels from time to time as well. Depends what I am working on. They are also very good 🙂🙂
i mean the complexity of your models vs lukes was more then a bit off, for a direct challenge. but i think you both did great jobs... lukes might be done, but yours look better. cheers loved both vids!
Thanks so much Marty! Yeah bit different :D but I just needed the challenge to make me bloody paint them haha
@@Zorpazorp dont we all need a boot in the butt every now and then!
Man, Imperial Guard used to be so diverse with such awesome sculpts. All that's left is boring (cadian) or horrible plastic sculpts (catachan) that are far inferior to their metal predecessors. Those Vostroyan look so gorgeous
I know riiiight? So sad :(
Damn, I have this issue, but sometime through time somebody removed the campaign supplement😖🤷♂️😄
You can find it on imgur dude! Just give it a google :)
I miss luke man. Loved his videos
ayyy nice beard dyd
Why thankyou
Vostroyans?
Checked and based.
As you noted you were painting to very different standards. Also, Luke is a former commission painter, and has done this type of work many many times before.
What you did was by no means a failure.
Yeah I was more using it as a motivator to get my project started :D
very cool vid but your wet palette makes my wrists hurt just by looking at it 😂
Haha yes it bothers many
Like and comment to appease the almighty algorithm
Much appreciated ❤
I've said it before on my other account (fuck you Google!): Checked and based, Vostroyans.
Hahahaha .. 🖖🤪💚
😀
Dude, do yourself a favour and get a wet palette container that is shallower. You are working yourself to death dipping so deep. I sacrificed size to get a shallow one which is about an inch deep. I also use a dense sponge rather than the super wipes you have. It seems to control the water in the pan better and allows me to control the water on top of the paper. All tips from guys like you so consider this a forward pass from dudes wiser than me. As an aside, have you tried to get a dedicated wet palette? All the suppliers in Sydney say they stock them but no one has one to sell, even on line.
