One of the most important things I learned about miniature painting is every time you put the brush in the pot Is to touch it to a paper towel before you actually put it on your brush to paint. I realized it's taken extra moisture out of the brush
I happened to watch Duncan's video a year ago, and I started working on a warhammer, and I'm really into brush painting. I've always watched useful and detailed videos, learned a lot, and worked hard to improve my skills. It's late, but I'd like to say thank you very much. I hope you will continue to make useful videos like this one. I'll always be there for you.
I'm not even painting these yet but I'm weirdly addicted to your videos. I've got some miniatures arriving this week and your videos are making me pretty excited to start. Thanks for the content!
This is exactly what I was looking for! I do want to add a SUPER bright glowing blue to the lighting on the shield. not sure how to do that yet lol. Thanks for this! I'd seriously fly from the states to attend a class in person and learn direct from the master lol.
Hey Duncan, I have a couple of questions. 1. Your Leadbelcher spray seems very dark to me. Did you undercoat with Chaos Black first? I might have missed you explaining that. 2. Is the shield on this particular model glued throughout the whole painting process or was it detachable? 3. When you go about deciding the order of when you apply basecoats, how do you decide? I myself would be too scared to apply the blue after the gold has been applied and washed already. Thanks for making these great videos!
I'd love to see anvils of the heldenhammer sometime, after the sigvald tutorial I've started to look forward to you painting gold highlights and it would look amazing with the black body
I don't play Age of Sigmar but I want to paint some of those minis and use others for D&D. The wolves and skeleton boxes would work really nicely. The detail on these minis is much better than most of Nolzur's minis. Beautiful job sir and thanks for the education.
Duncan, you have such steady hand my gosh its phenomenal to see you work i mean just amazing truly breathtaking work my friend thanks for all that you do for the community!
I still cannot believe that Games Workshop decided to make the Hammers of Sigmar their Poster Boys. The Hallowed Knights are equally as easy to paint for the beginner and look infinitely better!
Even though I don't really collect AoS, the lightning technique and the overall colour scheme of the mini could really help with Space Marines and plasma/power weapons. Nice work, Duncan
Age of Sigmar is love at first sight! I have been waiting for 20 years for the opportunity to place my old fantasy miniatures on ROUND bases. Unfortunately, the crisis and Indomitus robbed me of Souls Wars box set, so I hope the Dominion will be compensation for me.
Great tutorial. Had the idea to use up my old Mortal Realms SCE models. Use this vid to paint my first Hallowed Knight Liberator. Easy to follow vid and enjoyed doing it. Thanks 😊
Very clean look to him, which might well be considered lore appropriate. I'd have to dust his feet a little, lightly streak his armour here and there and add a few light scratches though. I know Duncan has his very specific process, and the results are always first rate, but the shield is crying out for another coat of nuln oil on the steel and agrax warmed with a bit of reichland flesh over that gold. Even better an oil wash over the metallic base layers instead so the details and the really effective later highlighting really jump out.
I recently used Drakenhof for the first time on a space marine... I didn't dilute it and he went from a nice cool bluish grey to looking like he was made of denim. Lucky I had a toothbrush handy to take it off with water, On his 4 brothers I put it just in the recesses and it looked really good.
@@DuncanRhodesDRPA yeah I asked for World Eaters not Denim Eaters :P hahaha (I'm making a kill team of Escaped Isstvan III Loyalists in Mk III armour so 5 WE 5 DG 5 EC and 5 LW)
Allways nice to see a different color scheme then the usual Gold armor and the end result is looking great. I also like the fade ins which color and brushes are used. Got my Dominion box 2 days agon and will first build the Vinditors and the GutRippaz
This is amazing! But it must cost an absolute fortune to have so many different paints on hand! Would be nice to have two videos, or one video in two parts: a basic paint job for those with limited paint sets; and then the one with bells and whistles. Your tutorials are excellent by the way, cos you are always showing what you are doing very clearly and not just talking about it.
This, 100 times this! I also believe that GW and other companies, purposefully over produce colours and almost identicals shades. I suggest playing around and combining the colours you have to get new ones :)
I think some long form, largely unedited full painting videos of single models would be great. Just cutting out the time for breaks and things, but leaving in all the desk time.
Great video as always. I have question that harkens back to your thousand sons video. I am starting my Rubric Marines soon and I was looking at thrall band that are teal, gold, and white shoulder plate. Would you still base coat the entire model in retributor gold then layer teal on the flare panels? Or would you attack it differently with teal being such a lighter color than the dark blue?
Hey duncan! Can you do a painting tutorial on the new Squigs from the 40k orks? How to transition the red to the whiter belly and stuff? Would be awesome!
Really enjoyed that video! I also liked the retro edition with the second edition Blood Angel! Do you also plan making a retro episode with an old Warhammer Fantasy miniature?
So I'm not sure if this has been covered in other comments before. I noticed that when you mix the Drakenhof Nightshade + Lahmian Medium you aren't using a wet pallette, is their any reason why, especially when you are trying to thin the paint to a 50/50.
No comments in over a year ??? Let's get the hype going Skaventide bros...is this still the ideal way to paint Hallowed Knights, or would lord Duncan employ new methods today? Any chance of a new Hallowed Knights video for the academy students? :D
I'm just getting back into this after 20 years and did my first Stormcast yesterday in the GW store. Getting my own stuff so I can start again. Anyway, it looked like you were switching between dry and wet palettes, is that correct? If so, why?
Looks superb as usual! I just wonder whats up with the shoulder armor on this miniature, looks like it is fused together on the back to make it one piece? :D
Would you consider doing, or can you recommend, a video with very young beginners in mind? I'm thinking school age children from 10 years old, and older kids with learning difficulties. I'm hoping to help my children's school with a new Warhammer club after the summer, and I'm looking for instructional videos with the absolute basics covered: putting paint on the brush, painting inside the lines, and focussed on getting a really simple paint job done really quickly with a low number of paints. Absolutely ideal would be something that includes one of the models from the lowest priced starter ets for 40k or AoS.
Warhammer TV have some good beginners tutorials as does Goobertown Hobbies. We also did one on '6 things I wish I knew before I started' that could prove useful.
@@DuncanRhodesDRPA Only on round bases, please. Nothing better than old fantasy miniatures on modern round bases and painted with modern techniques and unexpected colors for Age of Sigmar.
Good day, Duncan! could you answer the question, that haunts me for a long time? why do you paint one part of miniature from zero to finish, and then go to another part and paint in a same way? why don't you paint whole the miniature with base paints, then all the miniature with shades, and after that with layers? in that way it seems simplier to fix mistakes, doesn't it? or not?
It depends on the miniature. There is no right or wrong way 😊 Sometimes, we decide to paint say a sword separately simply for filming purposes to make it clearer for the video. Sometimes, if all the base coats share the same colour wash then we'll go right ahead and paint it that way
Base Rakarth Flesh, Reikland Flesh Shade and maybe some Highlights with Pallyd Wytch Flesh and/or Daemonette Hide. basicly some Flesh like looking colours. Kislev Flesh etc
If I'm honest I'll be extremely lucky if I manage to get the funds together before Domminus is sold out again like everything else. It seems like such a strange business model , but I guess it's better than having stock left over that needs selling off cheap. 😒😫😩😬😣
Perfect timing, just started painting my Hallowed Knights for Dominion
We aim to please 😁
Yup! Same here!! Thank you Duncan once again
What a coincidence. Dominion was just released also, another coincidence!
Who shall put on two thin coats?
ONLY THE FAITHFUL!

Duncan in 5 years:
THREE VERY THIN COATS!!!

I'm a simple man. I see a mini in plate armor with silver, gold, and blue and I hit like. Looks great!
This is exactly what I was looking for! I do want to add a SUPER bright glowing blue to the lighting on the shield. not sure how to do that yet lol. Thanks for this! I'd seriously fly from the states to attend a class in person and learn direct from the master lol.
Having a thin undercoat or two of white should help with that.
Hey Duncan, I have a couple of questions.
1. Your Leadbelcher spray seems very dark to me. Did you undercoat with Chaos Black first? I might have missed you explaining that.
2. Is the shield on this particular model glued throughout the whole painting process or was it detachable?
3. When you go about deciding the order of when you apply basecoats, how do you decide? I myself would be too scared to apply the blue after the gold has been applied and washed already.
Thanks for making these great videos!
the spray thing may just be the mini in bad lighting
Thanks a lot for the advice on "moving lightening" and leaving a spot in the middle without brighter highlight!
Exceptional! No other words for it, definitely using this colour scheme.
I'd love to see anvils of the heldenhammer sometime, after the sigvald tutorial I've started to look forward to you painting gold highlights and it would look amazing with the black body

Thank you so much 😀 and thank you for the support too
The new intro is a banger
This would be useful for a possible next project. The lightning effect is very helpful, thank you Duncan.
You're very welcome!
I still cannot believe that Games Workshop decided to make the Hammers of Sigmar their Poster Boys. The Hallowed Knights are equally as easy to paint for the beginner and look infinitely better!
Age of what again?
You must be bloody psychic! I was really hoping you'd do a guide on these guys so I could start painting this weekend, thanks dude!
Hope you enjoy it!
@@DuncanRhodesDRPA it’s perfect and easy to follow, great job!
These are amazing Duncan, I'm currently building my stormcasts up now so going to go with this colour scheme for them
Awesome results, especially on the lightning parts of the shield and hammer!
Thank you! Cheers!
so stunning
Even though I don't really collect AoS, the lightning technique and the overall colour scheme of the mini could really help with Space Marines and plasma/power weapons. Nice work, Duncan
It would make a really colour SM Chapter colour scheme.
@@DuncanRhodesDRPA Now I'm tempted to actually make a homebrew chapter called the Sigmarines, using this colour scheme
YESSS!! I collect hallowed knights and I just got the Dominion box. Perfect! Thanks Lord Duncan
No worries. Hope it helps 😊
Same here! Was delighted to see this pop up on my timeline 👌🏻
Age of Sigmar is love at first sight!

great job on a great looking mini. I really dig the new SCE
Thanks! 👍
Beautiful, good work duncan.
I used nuln oil on my silver and then drybrushed with runefang steel. Comes out very well 😊
This is striking! I'ma borrow this for a custom chapter in 40k. 😮
Do it! It'll look awesome!
These videos show me just how woefully unprepared I am to paint minis.
Stunning mate! Nice work.
Awesome work Duncan
Thank you kindly
Sigmar asked for this!
Been waiting for this vid so I can paint my own Hallowed Knights alongside! Thanks as always Duncan :)
Have fun!
I love this colourscheme.never been a fan of the boxart boys. it reminds me of Warcraft.
Very very nice! It will gives good tips for beginners. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Just combine paints on a wet palette. Having an insane amount of premixed paints on hand is convenient but unnecessary.
Great look, got a Underworlds team i'll definetly be testing it out on. Thanks for the free guide :)
Gonna use this method for my astral claws
Awesome explanation, thank you very much!
You're very welcome!
I’m painting my Dominion Stormcast as Hallowed Knights and I reference this video like twice a day lol.
Awesome. We are glad it's helping 😊
12:25 a single smooth coat?
HERESY!!
is it possible to show a tutorial for the word bearers and/or their warband(s) for the new codex update?
Hey Duncaaaan...could you maybe give us a Kragnos painting tutorial? Thanks Duncan! :)
thx now i can finally paint my grey knights, minus the dark blue bit

Awesome, and thank you 😊
Thank you , DRPA .

Oh, I am SO turning these guys into some Emperor's Children elites!!
Awesome video ! What kind of pallete is that ?
Would love to see an Anvils of Heldenhammer video. It's very hard to come by good instructions on the scheme :-)
So I'm not sure if this has been covered in other comments before. I noticed that when you mix the Drakenhof Nightshade + Lahmian Medium you aren't using a wet pallette, is their any reason why, especially when you are trying to thin the paint to a 50/50.
Washes are generally mixed on dry palettes. I would imagine the wet palette adds an unknown level of dilution, but can certainly be done.
Just holding my breath for one of the ASOIAF dragons tutorial.
No comments in over a year ??? Let's get the hype going Skaventide bros...is this still the ideal way to paint Hallowed Knights, or would lord Duncan employ new methods today? Any chance of a new Hallowed Knights video for the academy students? :D

Please
Can you paint a miniature of Vandus Hammerhead in the colors of the Hallowed Knights?
Great tutorial as always, but with the new Kill Team Trailer the important question is, when will we see a Deathkorps of Krieg painting video? ;)
Soon. The good news though, is we have a full tutorial for a Deathrider of Krieg on our website (duncanrhodes.com) right now 😊

@@DuncanRhodesDRPA Only on round bases, please. Nothing better than old fantasy miniatures on modern round bases and painted with modern techniques and unexpected colors for Age of Sigmar.
Curious as to your reasoning for swapping between using the tile and the wet palette.
When we use washes, contrast and sometimes metallics, we find a tile suits those better than a wet palette in our experience. 😊
@@DuncanRhodesDRPA - Thanks!
Please can you do a celestial vindicators tutorial?
Do you have a specific criteria for when you use Reikland flesh shade versus Reikland flesh shade gloss?
New intro's pretty jazzy
Thank you
Are there any videos that go into doing Non metallic metals?
Duncan have you been following me, just got Yndrasta and was telling my mate I am painting her up in the Hallowed Knights scheme

Yeeeeeee
anyone else get an ASMR vibe from Mr Rhodes...?

Great color scheme. steel armor looks more knightly 😜
Sure does!
I am trying to figure out how to paint nighthaunt robes like torn flesh
Base Rakarth Flesh, Reikland Flesh Shade and maybe some Highlights with Pallyd Wytch Flesh and/or Daemonette Hide. basicly some Flesh like looking colours. Kislev Flesh etc
As always, you added a bit of your own flair to a fairly generic and bland looking scheme and made it look amazing. Kudos
why do you keep switching from wet palette to the other palette?
He switches from the wet palette to the other one when he uses metallic paints and shades/contrast as it can contaminate the wet palette.
@@barrycarr i did not know that
I was doing great following this until the blue segment of the shoulder plates. Got blue all over my pretty gold :(
No streaking grime as the last step :(
I made my Annihilators into femmenators through a headswap

I really appreciate you doing another chamber of the storm cast eternals(I’m tired of gold)

Hello Duncan Senpai
Anyone noticed how these look like the astral claws from 40K?
If I'm honest I'll be extremely lucky if I manage to get the funds together before Domminus is sold out again like everything else. It seems like such a strange business model , but I guess it's better than having stock left over that needs selling off cheap. 😒😫😩😬😣
Painting god (sacred number 2), but he bought the Dominion in the store, as we all mere mortals!
Yay auric armour gold! Anything that isn't Liberator gold is nice to see. Liberator gold is so yellow, it ruins the warmth of retributor + reikland.
