0:34 seconds into the video, I really need to say this: please, never stop doing videos with WW1 related material! The color scheme, the weathering, the basing, it's a fantastic paint job! I really appreciate your work and even if I just discovered your channel earlier this year looking for Death Korps ofKrieg painting tutorials, I look forward for your videos as a fresh look into miniature painting. Thank you and I hope you have a great 2023!
Looks good! I use blue tac poster putty on plastic sauce containers as paint holders & that happens to us all. Worse was when my drink was on a nearby coaster on the floor & the mini flew off and in the drink😅.
Look amazing chap. I tend to do like you and matt varnish all at the end, and then I havea small pot of vallejo gloss varnish which I stick on any scuffed bit of metal, a gem, a wet tongue, gore, or very shiny metal: works really well!
Recently restored my 20 year old Revell French WW1 and currently working on Airfix vintage WW1. I'm using Tamiya ocean gray spray as the primer. To get a horizon blue outcome it really is important. Dry brush technique you use is fantastic and I have replicated on my project. Overall good outcomes. Once the other colours go on it's interesting how the horizon blue just starts to pop. Great video Sir.
If you want to reduce the chalky finish with drybrushing, try to wipe off excess paint using cardboard or a texture palette. Using a paper towel will remove too much moist from the paint leaving the remaining pigment dry and chalky.
In this case, I'm actually looking for the chalky finish. It's extra texture on clothing which might otherwise appear quite smooth without small scratches and highlighting.
Great stuff bud I am grtting ready to print off a bunch of stuff this coming week. I love the other helmets they designed and made available with most of their Valor Korps range (of course csn print them off from other ranges as well for even older ones or for Characters. Soing a OnePageRules army for human defense forces but also want ro use them in Horus Heresy as Imperial Militia as rhe rules just came out for thrm.
I already have 20 painted a lot darker than this with 10 more primed and ready to go. Now I have to decide to go back and fix the old ones to this wonderful scheme or continue with mine…
Remember: Uniform isn't! There's all sorts of reasons you could have multiple colours throughout an army, supply chains, weathering and fading of fabric, or new equipment being introduced while the old slowly phases out of an army's stores... There's nothing to say you need to repaint what you've already done if you like how a different method looks. :D
Indeed! The beautiful thing with uniforms is that the age of it likely could reflect experience, with the more vibrant colours likely being newer folks, with only the old guard having the dye bleed into the battlefield. It is probably only a matter of months for guard...Ahahaha!
Nice to see dry brush techniques. Just finishing Warlord Games Eighth Army... prime, slap on base coat, then contrast paint for depth/creases. Leave to dry and then dry brush. That's the uniforms done. Dry brush techniques makes it quicker and does add to the effect of material. Webbing colour is slightly different between figures... uniforms in action are never, well, uniform.
Great. This is now I'm going to paint my army. Can you do another tutorial with a vehicle in the same style to go with them? I printed a Ace Minis tank and have no idea how to paint it.
For things like the respirator tubes you could try a colour called "tire black" (or something like this) from Secret Weapon. It looks really, well, rubbery 🙂
Unfortunately you can’t get these on his Etsy shop, I’ve emailed them and waiting for them to release them and then I’m gonna make a whole army! Love these sculpts
Amazing work and paint scheme, any chance of doing the vehicles or Artillery of the Valor Korps ? Also, the dust effect on their jackets is that only due to the shading or did you do anything else to it?
The dust and grime is leftover on the brush while drybrushing their bases; once you've got most of it off, you skip up on to the legs and coat and it's nice and quick to do. The colours are in the basing section of the description! :D
Looks great, was there no further weathering added to the bottom of the greatcoats? The final products on the turn table look like they have had some further work down to them but it may have been the drying time? Either way, thanks for the video!
Amazing video as usual! I really like your Imperial guard videos. Only one question, throught... What did you use to blend them in with the base? Did you use pigment powders? Or is it drybrush? Thanks a lot!

These minis could be used as Gear Krieg's adversaries, WGA make some WWI boxed sets that coul be a good start for conversions, f.e. for an Alternate history Earth, they seems really a What If? likes for a retro sci-fi past👍
Short answer is that it's almost impossible to catch on camera. It's just drybrushing while basing, though; check the description for the colours used.
Do you think this color scheme would looks good on the dkok kill team? I haven't seen anyone paint their new dkok kill team with this lighter style blue, Worried it will look bad
I'm not the person to ask! 😅 Do YOU think it would look good? Honestly, if it works on the Valor Korps, it'll almost certainly work on the Death Korps. They're close enough except for the helmets they're practically identical.
I'll second the comment about how long they're cured probably being a contributing factor. I use the water washable resin from Elegoo, but once these guys are out and cleaned up I cure them under the rotating UV lamp for just 5-6 minutes. Any longer and things like swords and lasgun barrels start getting a bit too crispy.

2:57 Ah, the Valor 'Royally Flying' Korps have arrived, I see. ;) great looking minis and scheme.
Thank you , Troy .

Oh no! Hopefully nothing too sticky. 😂
The paint on these looks great! Spectacular color scheme, as well.
Thank you kindly! Can't beat a bit of blue, it's a classic.
Haha thanks for leaving in the mistakes… I’m glad I’m not the only one dropping models 😅
This is a great scheme. It would look really great on the new Cadians as well.
They look great! The French WWI uniform color really looks good on these figures. Thanks for sharing this.
They look great. Amazing how good miniatures look with simple techniques applied well.
Love the pastel coloured look

Thanks for the tip about the cardboard over paper towel. This will be a big help going forward.
I love all your videos but Imperial Guard are my favorite!
That seriously looks fantastic
outstanding video friend
Wow this is exactly what I had been looking for thank you so much.

Beautiful
These look ace mate, an army at this quality would look great on the tabletop. Happy New Year to you and your family.
Love these guys might need a friend too print some up for weird war 2 French
I love your Chanel. You show how to paint tabletop miniatures for a short time .
They look amazing. When i saw them at the begging of the video i thought there would be much more highlighting then there is.
This is a fantastic tutorial. Thank you and Happy New Year! Subscribed!

this is great! can you also do a video for matching armour paint scheme for this style?
Great. This is now I'm going to paint my army. Can you do another tutorial with a vehicle in the same style to go with them? I printed a Ace Minis tank and have no idea how to paint it.
love these! i think ill try to paint up some myself :D
nice inspiring!

@@SonicSledgehammerStudio thanks a lot! Really like the result!

Hei man, how did you do your bases? What's the diameter? Looks kinda cool :)
Dang! He jumped right off the handle
Not ordinarily how one paints paratroopers, but I haven't seen the new Guard Codex so maybe it's an option...
I'm sure I went to school with a lass called Dawn Stone .....
Why didnt you show the last step, the weathering? I acrually wanted to see how you get the smooth transitions between blue and dust
Short answer is that it's almost impossible to catch on camera. It's just drybrushing while basing, though; check the description for the colours used.
Do you think this color scheme would looks good on the dkok kill team? I haven't seen anyone paint their new dkok kill team with this lighter style blue, Worried it will look bad
I'm not the person to ask! 😅 Do YOU think it would look good? Honestly, if it works on the Valor Korps, it'll almost certainly work on the Death Korps. They're close enough except for the helmets they're practically identical.
How did you do the fade at the bottom of the coats? I didn't see that in the video
A weird question on a painting video but what resin do you print with? I only ask as i have had too many figures break for falls like that one.
Resin certainly makes a difference, but oftentimes very brittle minis are caused by leaving them under the post-curing lights for too long.
@@joegekko it also doesn't help when they are covered in fiddly bits like the ones from infinite heroes
I'll second the comment about how long they're cured probably being a contributing factor. I use the water washable resin from Elegoo, but once these guys are out and cleaned up I cure them under the rotating UV lamp for just 5-6 minutes. Any longer and things like swords and lasgun barrels start getting a bit too crispy.
is this a normal scale model? they look huge to me, like is that a 32mm base?
These are almost exactly the same size as the resin Death Korps miniatures, on 25mm bases. Maybe you're sitting too close to the screen? 😅
It looks like you put some pigments on their lower coats to give them a dusty appearance.
Just drybrushing with the base materials! Check out the recipe in the description. :D
Are these KT or FW krieg?
Neither. They're Makers Cult Valor Korps. Have a look in the description for some links.
@@SonicSledgehammerStudio well they look great
