This paint job made me actually like this model. Before I wasn’t so sure about them.
They are fun to paint.
Same, didn't like them at all and this changes everything
Agreed. Didn't really like the stormcast model until I saw this scheme. Now I want to duplicate it on other armies where I feel like I have to give every detail some attention.
Honestly think that GW's default schemes for their posterboys kinda suck. Space Marines? Ultramarines dont really attract that much imho. Lumineth? Terrible default scheme. Stormcast? Also lame. Then you see same miniatures in some other color and go like woaaaah dude this is awesome.
Lovely work on this guy. White is always one of those harder schemes to pull off but this just works really well. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Pete, looking forward to your Grimdark Eternals this weekend!
I love how your tutorial videos tell the viewer what they need to know without dragging on for 45+ min. I wish I would have found this channel months ago.
I appreciate that!
This is the most expensive tutorial video I've ever watched. It's the sole reason I have Dominion on the way...
Beautiful work.
You're very welcome ;)
Excellent tutorial, thanks very much. The colour scheme is spot on, could be applied to loads of different armies.
That is gorgeous. An entire army like that would be amazing.
Thanks! I think it would look pretty striking across an army for sure.
Wow! This is a really good drawing! I am totally blown away! I wish I could draw this good! Keep up the amazing work! 😊😇👏🏽
Helpful as always. Many thanks
Amazing as always! Makes painting white armour seem much simpler, will have to give it a try! Makes the minis look more appealing in this colour scheme too. Brilliant work!
Thanks!
Amazing result will defo go with this for future units! Thank you 🙏
You’re welcome 😊
Thanks, looks amazing. Will give this a try!
Hope you enjoy!
I’m enamored with this scheme. I have my airbrush and Tamiya colors ready waiting o. The models to arrive! Thank you picking this scheme. I’d never seen it before and with everyone else i know painting gold Stormcast, this will be perfect
Enjoy!
Looks fantastic! Making stormcast look pretty tempting..
They were fun to paint, much more so than the original ones.
great voice over and general very high quality appreciate all the effort, mate ;)
Glad you enjoyed it!
Really nice clean look, thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching
Absolutely beautiful
Thank you! 😊
You hero, I'd done one test model for some Knights Excelsior for a Cities army and wasn't quite settled on it, so this video has come at the perfect time!
Yes mate, get it done!!!
So sweet! Thanks Henry! I'm hyped for an good gold recipe for the Hammer of Sigmar ;) and ofc for the new orks!
Me too!
@@cultofpaint from you buddy.
Will you guys do an Anvils of the Heldenhammer video? Would love to see your TMM process on Stormcasts!
Great painting tutorial and man your voice is smooth AF.
hah thanks!
I love this look, tempted to paint some up!
Go for it!
Found the scheme for my Space Wolves' army. Thank you :)
So, so overwhelmingly cool mate. Cheers! I would have painted the little face on the right arm, but that's just searching for a flaw in a flawless job... Astounding.
Me too, but it was late on in the paintjob when i noticed it!
Looks amazing i might paint my ones like this when I get the box on my birthday
Nice!
I love this!
Thanks!
Love this so much. Given me some inspiration to up my white armour :)
It’s a good return of time vs results I think.
@@cultofpaint 100%. not oil washed before and that capillary action made my brain tingle :P
What a sexy paint job. I'm excited to see what unique scheme you'll go for the kruel boys
Gonna be fun
Cheers boss, I just found the recipy for my World Eaters
okay now im gonna paint all of my stormcast in this amazing color scheme.
Hooray!
I like the colour scheme, Basic yet deep.
I can live with that!
These new Age of Sigmar Cybermen look pretty good 😎
Very nice colour scheme and a great paint job! I might "Borrow" it for my Stormcast that are still int the queue for painting ;)
Please do!
Muy guapo👍👍
2 videos in one weekend you spoil us 😆
Well it’s a pretty special time!
Nice scheme! I love addition of battle damage. Always looks good on light colored models. I'm using quite a bit of battle damage on my Space Wolves currently (sometimes I mess up with too wide line, but I don't care as much since those are tabletop minis, not a competition entries).
I think that you could've added gold to right arm of the mini, but for army project it's ok to skip it.
I really like your series about army building/painting. Andy's LRL are stunning, and so are your StD's.
Thanks Patryk
Awesome. Looks very similar the color I use on my Space Wolves army.
I might just use these colors or close to them
Would be a very cool idea for some wolves
I LOVE this color scheme. I need to figure out how to do this without an airbrush because I do not have one / know how to use one at the moment. It seems like the best paint jobs are the ones that have an airbrush.
An airbrush can certainly speed things up and is also really useful when a model has a lot of large flat surfaces. You could still get a very nice armour colour spraying it white then using a contrast paint grey. Then just follow the other steps.
Plus an airbrush isn't that expensive; I was able to get a cheap airbrush and compression for about £50 which could potentially save a healthy amount of time in the long run.
Great Scheme, and it feels doable for us plebes. I kinda want to try it out on some Space Marine armor. Thanks CoP!
Go for it!
I would love to see a tutorial for Celestial Warbringers (could use that barak nar burgundy...) because I'm struggling to get good contrast when the tone of the armor is supposed to be darker like that.
Would love to see an Yndrasta tutorial especially her wings, with this color palette in mind.
Noted!
Nicely done! Just about all of the other Stormcast I've done have been Hammers of Sigmar standard but I may attempt something new with Dominion so these models don't get lost in a sea of gold.
Go for it! Be nice to see more non golden ones
The return of the burgundy colour made me giggle... Had the same problem when I discovered mechrite red all those years ago!
we've not seen the last of that lovely paint!
Wow, that colour scheme has totally sold me, I’ve never seen storm cast looking so beautiful! Fantastic guide too, a like and subscribe from me! If I were to use a different colour for the shoulder pads like red, would I need to do anything different with the white? Luke using a different base colour for the white or wash? Looking forward to the next videos!
Not at all, the blue will work well with the red.
Please paint up some Kruleboyz as well! :D. I love your guides
We will!
Great video, amazing results with a lovely process! I’d really like to see a video on Astral Templar, a good excuse for Henry to pain more Burgundy 😜, even TMM would be tempting 🤔
Easily one of the most fun backgrounds too!
@@cultofpaint indeed 😄
Amazing color scheme and painting work... Maybe I'll pick up the Dominion box after all; until now I was tempted because the prices are so good at the moment, but I don't really plan to get into AoS. Maybe 2 more armies for One Page Rules? :D
This reminds me a lot of Apocalypse from the X-men comics. In a good way.
This makes me want to invest in some oils for washes, capillary action ftw.
You won't regret it
Yeah, I just went and bought some thanks to this video! :)
Fantastic tutorial! I was just going to spray gold and wash my new Stormcast, but now I’m thinking this scheme would not look better but it’s also not that much more complicated.
Glad it was helpful!
My only gripe here is the wildly assorted range of paints needed. Even using a paint conversion list I found that the paints I had available were up to 5.42 mathematical points different than the ones used in the vid. All the same, I will probably end up ordering the exact paints from this video cuz it's a badass scheme that looks great.
Tamiya white is essential. All others you could substitute for something similar. We enjoy using lots of different paints.
Another lovely example of using a thin oil wash over gloss varnish for specific controlled effect, but this time because it's over white you get a gentle filter over the whole armour as well as the detail enhancing of a subtle pinwash. Such a great effect.
Now I love Payne's grey for cool shadows and use it in mixes for that probably more than any other paint except warm white/buff. I've whole forces where that's one of the key unifying elements
Seeing that filter effect though and being really fond of warm white armours, I wonder what colour(s) you'd have used to make a warm filter/wash????
So having now watched and interpreting from your Slaves to Darkness vid, maybe yellow ochre with a touch of a warm dark brown?
I’d agree with that, I think ochres would be where I’d start.
I think I may have just found my paint scheme for the new Stormcast.
Do it!
no one else has spammed it so I will, EXCSELSIOOOORRRR!!!
Thank goodness
Love this tutorial! What colour would go with for the cloaks on the other stormcast models in this scheme?
I'm not sure what they are in the official artwork. But i'd probably look at blue or black.
Love this scheme, I'm thinking I'll go with this process for my SCE. Could you let us know what colour you'd go for on other SCE chamber models, for the tabards and robes on Sequitors for example?
If we get a bit more demand for Stormcast then sure thing.
Damn it Henry! I didn't need more Stormcast....but maybe now I do :/
gooooood
Great tutorial!
Any advice for making your own blue-steel colors if you don't have grey knight steel? Was thinking some vallejo metal color with a touch of blue ink?
You got it!
Love the cat tails on the base! Where did you find those?
There’s a bunch of them sculpted onto the models/base accessories in the kits.
Hey, awesome work on that annihilator! love the colour scheme, is there a specific reason for painting all the details black after the armor stage? The base coats you apply afterward seem pretty opaque to me
Thanks! It just helps create a bit more definition. And i personally find it helpful to break the model back up after I've sprayed the whole thing white!
Which GW contrast paints would you use if you haven’t got an airbrush?
Love how this guy turned out. I'm going to try to replicate the white armor you did here for a custom stormhost I'm building. I've never used oil paints and just picked up the Paynes Grey you used here. How long roughly do I need to wait after appying it to go back in and do some spot highlights with my normal acrylic paint?
Nice one! Depending on the oil paint you've bought it can be anything from a few hours to 24+, I'd leave it to dry naturally for a while then get the hairdryer on it. If it's not playing ball you can always varnish over the top of the oil and then paint acrylic over that.
Great Paintjob :) I think i will use this for my Box too. Did you have plans to make a painting tutorial for the Sons of Horus in the near future ? I think i would be great because of the tease for the new Heresy Boxset. Thanks for the answer :)
Absolutely, one of our fave legions
@@cultofpaint then its a WIn Win !! Give us a tutorial ;)
Any substitute for Tamiya Field Blue? I tried looking for a conversion chart for Citadel paints but couldn't find anything. Thank you, enjoyed the video immensely.
The Fang looks like it'd be ok
Incredible as always. Any advice on painting TMM white? Edit: And Knight's Excelsior who have been re-forged too many times leave smoldering footsteps, how would you go about recreating that effect?
Interesting, will have a think.
In love with this. I'm going to try it out this weekend. Question though - Do you decant the Tamiya white into a dropper bottle or do you just use something like a pipette for mixing? (apologies if you get this question a lot)
I just pour it in, but a pipette would probably be the best way of ensuring accuracy each time
@@cultofpaint Thanks! I'm exited to give Tamiya flat white a go for the first time.
what pressure do you run your airbrush at? Fantastic video.
25psi
@@cultofpaint thanks.
Great video - what do you use to clean your air bursh after the gloss varnish?
Just normal airbrush cleaner, same process as when i've used paint.
@@cultofpaint Thanks!
Sorry this may be a stupid question - but what did you use for the basing? The paint job looks amazing and I love your videos!
I’ll be putting up a basing video very soon :)
Really cool effect, when I look up the Tamiya Field Blue XF-50 I find a light Blue paint and a darker grey one - which one should I get to follow this tutorial?
Dark grey
@@cultofpaint thank you for confirming, that's what I was thinking!
Been painting white stormcast myself and now I wish I’d have found this tutorial earlier lol.
Question tho, does the Payne’s grey oil wash NEED to be oil based to get the right effect, or can one simply thin it down with laumian medium? I’d like to reproduce this scheme or parts of it with GW paints mostly and a few inks
You could certainly have a go creating an acrylic version, in fact you could probably get a not dissimilar effect rom contrast paint.
Love this scheme and I want to basically steal it - the one thing I’m struggling with is the oil wash. I have the exact same oil paint, yet mine seems darker, and if I thin it more the paint breaks up and leaves a really nasty look. Any tips on how to avoid that?
Hmm not sure on the difference in colour. My tube is 5+ years old so perhaps they’ve changed it slightly. You could always mix in a little white to lighten it up.
This looks so good, but imho just not enough contrast. They'd look rather flat on the tabletop.
Do you think that Daler Rowney FW Payne's Grey Ink could be an alternative to the WN Oil paint Payne's Grey? I've never used oil paints before?
Yeah, it'd be quite strong though. You're looking at around a £10 buy in to give the oils a go, I'd definitely recommend it.
Any suggestions on how to create the base coats if an airbrush isn't an option
Layer up with a hairy brush blue to white. Or rattle can white and contrast paint.
You said at the end of the video you recommend using white spray paint and a GW contrast paint if we don't have an airbrush, what color contrast paint would that be? Love the paint scheme but I don't own an airbrush yet.
I’m guessing he is referring to Apothecary White. If I go for these guys that what I will use. I’m wanting to go for speed so I night just end up doing the boring gold .
@@pnob69 Thanks!
Yeah thats the name of it, thanks @gooseNK
Hey man, not sure if you would answer but do you think a thinned black templar contrast would work like the Oil paint? I haven't dipped my toes into oils yet so it's a bit daunting!
Yes, but i'd maybe try one of the grey's instead. Check out our pinwashing video for some tips and tricks
@@cultofpaint thanks man! I love this scheme!
For the oil wash stage, how long does this take to fully dry before more paint can be added?
I leave it overnight. But you can sue a hairdryer to speed it up and once touch dry you can varnish to seal it and then carry on painting if you are in a hurry.
So I tried oil wash but maybe I thinned it too much? Pigment separated on flat parts making it look grainy/muddy
That can happen, it just takes some experimenting. I've found a good quality oil paint makes a difference, and if you are making a very thin wash then not to flood the miniatures with it, but apply it carefully.
Do you think I can swap out the Payne's grey for a warmer sepia to create a more cream/off white/dirt recessed look?
My concern is I probably need a warmer start rather than the dark grey beginning?
Yeah maybe switch out the field blue for brown.
I don't have an airbrush, do you think a can of Grey Seer from GW does the job for the basecoat of the armor ?
Yeah that'd still look fine
@@cultofpaint Thanks for your answer :-)
Cab you use the vallejo Resin varnishes instead of the polyurethane?
yes
So, question for those of us without an airbrush - can you do the first two steps without it?
You could base the entire model in the tamiya blue with a brush, then carefully use a white spray can from above, like a zenithal highlight. It won't be anywhere near as smooth though, there really is no substitute for an airbrush.
I’d spray white from can then use contrast paint.
After using the oil wash, don’t you need to varnish before using acrylics again?
Nah not once it’s dry.
are there written instructions anywhere for this scheme?
How is this airbrush job so clean? Mine looks 'dotty' even if i use thinned white ink or airbrush paint. No micro texture here.
Tamiya Flat white applied in thin layers.
What black did you use at 07:55? its more like a dark grey/brown
It’s thin Vallejo model colour black, so some of the white is showing through from underneath making it grey in some areas.
I love this scheme and I am going to use it on some stormcast, but looking at some of the older models that have two layers of cloth colors I am really stuck on what to use, can anyone help? It seems like the burgundy from the leather would be one, but I am not sure what other color to use (mostly talking about things like sequitors that have a tabard and a cloak)
I think it’s normally blue in the artwork isn’t it?
@@cultofpaint gotcha thanks. I guess I didn't realize that this was an official scheme, I thought it was something y'all came up with. Also, I have some colorblindness issues that makes it tough to tell blue from purple. I will have to try some test models.
I can never get my oil wash to look like this. I use the exact same brands and also gloss varnish my model. But I just put the wash on and initially it looks good and settles in the recesses but after a few minutes it just kinda runs down the model and almost all of the effect is lost. I am kinda at the point where I don't think this will ever work. I just don't understand how people do it.
Stick with it. It’s just about tweaking the consistency and how much you apply. You’ll get there.
@@cultofpaint Cheers mate. Appreciate the encourgagement. :-)
Really don't like the model, but the painting is great. Will look into it again if I want to do white Space Marines or something like that 🙂
It's all recipes right!
very nice, my only nag is i always hate whenthe paint scheme is a jumbled mess of different brands, makes it brutal to follow or invest in
I like the paint job, dont get me wrong. But i really dont see this as a way to paint white. He definately looks blue to me.
What? Did we get new sigmarines? TIL
How did you do this base 👀
There will be a video on basing :)
@@cultofpaint Ohh yeah. That is a sexy base. Want to put my Death Guard 30k army on this exact type.
Do Tamiya paints melt plastic?
Nope. These are Tamiyas acrylics.
While watching this I was wondering why I liked the colour scheme so much, then I remembered what it reminded me of, Alphose Elric from Fullmetal Alchemist, was he by an chance a source of inspiration?
He's not white.
@@juble7086 not sure if you're being serious or are colourblind or what, but I'll explain to you what the rest of us see, these minis are painted with a blue tint, giving them a overall blue hue to them.
@@lickmynuts82 Alright Chill out Billie big boots
@@juble7086 concession accepted.
Hmmmm after I just swore off ever trying an oil wash ever again...
They can be tricky sometimes for sure.
2 weeks of summer? Thats it? Seriously?
not a fan of this one sry still looks a bit plasticy to me
Amazing job! I really like the tufts on the base too, which ones did you use here?
Couple different ones, going to do a video on the bases
Excellent thanks. Another nice shade to try over gold:
- Cryptek alloy
- Skeleton horde contrast
- Volpus pink
- Purple ink
- contrast medium
