In this video I paint up some Warhammer Fantasy Empire Archers in a classic Averland colour scheme. Music by Karl Casey @ audio bat #warhammer #warhammer40k
They certainly came out well! Most of my Empire are in Averland colours, although my archers are made up of the old metal minis from the mid 1990s, which were clearly an inspiration for this kit. You made my day getting the bird book out too, I must be the only person who’s fretted about making my Empire Griffon look ‘realistic’ (ended up inspired by a combination of Red Kite and Osprey).
for some reason it didn't click to me that you're australian, nice to support a fellow queenslander :) definitely gonna have more storms coming our way but not a whole cyclone again i hope. love your work!!
Gday mate from a little bit down the coast thanks for the inspiration I’m planning on doing Stirland playing up the poor rustic look for them lots of different shades of green and yellow and mud
Great vid, really informative. I really like to see your process and how it's explained. Also glad you came out of the disaster month stronger than ever. It was a wild time for us up north. Grats on 5k!
Happy new year dude. Been hanging for this one and wasn't disappointed. Looking forward to what you get up to in 2024. Will encourage me to dust off my Old Hammer and get it ready for The Old World.
Happy New Year, Dietz! Great work as always. I love those archers, I'm a bit sad I only got one box of them back in the day. Anyways, this video and the imminent release of the Old World give me the itch to start painting on my Empire again.
Happy new year mate! Thanks so much! I feel like these guys might get a rerelease with the old world on the horizon so fingers crossed 🤞 Good luck with those Empire models!
Thanks for this. Im slowly transitioning from 40k stuff into medieval models in preparation of the Old World so its nice to see paint guides for all the stuff I missed out when WH Fantasy was still a thing
Nice one, Deets! Been hoping for some WHF stuff like everyone else. Brilliant job as always, really like the leather work on these. Happy New Year, Mate 👍🏻😃👊🏻
As someone now painting Averland classic troops for TOW now from my big pile of shame from 10 years ago this looks excellent! I really hope to finally master faces for when I paint my 40k Custodes and Sisters
Absolutely gorgeous as always! Always a pleasure seeing your videos! Sucks about all the stuff that happened in your area recently, but what can you do :p anyway, Happy New Year!
Sorry to hear about the mad weather. Thanks for posting still. You'll have to add an extra beard meme to your next video... (Although I do like the Mr Burns placeholder!)
@anvilofdoomminiatures cheers, mate, no worries. Videos like this are converting me into "speed paints" I'll need these techniques when it comes to batch painting 25 State troops in one hit, lol
All right! Haven't even watched this yet but I wanted to let you know I'm looking forward to it. Always a good time. In the future, when you have millions of followers, I will be able to say "I was there. At the beginning."
...looks at box of Empire detachment, full of inspiration that was never there before... Also: you should paint the Powder keg monkey! the most powerful Empire unit
Dear Mr. Anvil of Doom Miniatures: Lovely video, I just have a few questions. First, is the bottle of Bronze Fleshtone you're using from the classic, now out of production version of the Game Color range, or is it part of the new, reformulated range of the same name that was released about a year ago? And if you have experience with both versions, are they actually identical or is there a difference? It's always confusing when a manufacturer revamps their paint range and keep names while potentially changing the actual paint. Keep up the good work!
Hey mate! Great question! I’ve had this bottle of BFT for about a year now so I’ll need to look into it. I’m guessing I might have the older formula but it would be an interesting test to see the difference. Thanks for brining it up!
@@anvilofdoomminiatures Hey there, so I had a look around and from what I can gather, what used to be called Bronze Fleshtone before the revamp has now been retitled to Bronze Brown. It still has the same product code as the old Bronze Fleshtone (72.036) but I haven't found a direct comparison between the old paint and its current replacement.

If you feel like just painting an Averland Empire army, I'd totally watch all of it and not complain about lack of variety.
Great idea! 🤣 I’ll definitely do another Averland unit in the future 🤝⚫️🟡
So good. I love the old fantasy stuff.
Thanks dude!
Can't wait for this kit to get rereleased. One of my favs I never got to buy. I'll be using this guide to paint them up too
Can’t recommend grabbing this one enough! You’ll love it!
Those faces are excellent.
Thanks dude! 🍻
Averland forever!
That's so Aweverlandsome!😮😂
Thanks mate! 🍻
“painting” mold lines with tamiya extra thin cement helps get hard to reach mold lines n smooth out areas
Thanks for the tip mate! 🙌
Wow - havent seen that kit in a long time.
They look amazing, great job!!
Thanks man!
Sick job my dude 🏹
Dude thats fucking awesome
Thanks my man! 🍻🙌
A great start on 2024!
Thanks mate! 🙌
man i got those halberdiers but now i need to find a store for these dudes
Keep going my man
Dude! You really are an inspiration. Always keeping me motivated and cozy-nostalgic. Thank you very much! Hope you’re having a great time!
Thanks so much mate! Glad you’re getting inspired by the channel! Hope you have a great 2024 🙌🤝🍻
Same to you @@anvilofdoomminiatures ! Looking forward to your videos!
Love them ! Great Video !Have a nice year 2024 Dude
Thanks mate! You too!
These are excellent!
Thanks mate!

Thanks mate! Glad to hear you appreciate a good bird as well 🙌🪶
Awesome work man! Keep them coming
Mate! Thank you so much for the donation! I really appreciate the support 🍻🙌🤝
Another banger! Good start to the year man.
Thanks dude! Glad you enjoyed it!
We got the rain on the Sunshine Coast and not the actual cyclone. It was pretty nuts! Pleased you're doing okay
for some reason it didn't click to me that you're australian, nice to support a fellow queenslander :) definitely gonna have more storms coming our way but not a whole cyclone again i hope. love your work!!
Thanks for the support dude! I really appreciate it :) Yeah fingers crossed the rest of summer isn’t too intense! It’s been a wild start.
Anything from the Empire would be great. I loved the video.
Gday mate from a little bit down the coast thanks for the inspiration I’m planning on doing Stirland playing up the poor rustic look for them lots of different shades of green and yellow and mud
Hey mate! No worries at all! Good luck with the building that army. I like the sound of that green and yellow scheme 👌
These look so good!! The minis have a lot of personality and you really bring that out well!
Absolutely loved this! Great scheme!
Thanks for showing that slide with all the colors you use - not enough people do this, and I appreciate it!
No worries at all! 🙌😊
Awesome Dietz you are a Legend
Amazing job as always, love how clear the explantions are.
Great vid, really informative. I really like to see your process and how it's explained.
Also glad you came out of the disaster month stronger than ever. It was a wild time for us up north. Grats on 5k!
Best looking Averland unit I've seen. White/red chevron feathers adds something that could unify all soldiers of the empire from whatever province.
Thanks mate! Glad you like them!
Surely you needed some gingers in there 🤣 love seeing a ranger on the tabletop and they fit the Empire Huntsman aesthetic as well
Amazing work! New sub.
Very nice archers! for the empire! ✌️
I sure do miss those multi part kits where you could build so many different guys.
First time watching this channel and really enjoyed it! Will look forward to seeing more 😊
Was great to see these develop on your insta. Great new video to start the year off
Thanks mate! I appreciate it! 🍻🙌🤝
They look wonderful. All respect to you for being able to batch paint, great stuff! Happy New Year to you and yours!
Thanks mate! Glad you like them! Happy New Year! 🙌🍻
i like the 3 tone method. just wish i had all the colours :) too lazy to mix XD
Awsome! What a great start into the new year. 👍
Thanks mate! 🍻🙌
Yay! Finally averland!! Great work dude thanks and keep up the goood work! Happy new year down under!
Thanks mate! Glad you enjoyed the video! Happy new year 🍻🙌
Empire and Averland! Great work. Have a good 2024!
Thanks mate! You too! 🍻🙌
happy new years thank you the real warhammer some love
Happy new year! No worries mate! 🙌
sorry i was alittle hammered last nigh but,meant to say was . thank for giving the real warhammer some love.@@anvilofdoomminiatures
Looks stunning!
I suggest giving a nice coat of Lahmian Medium in the end, it gives a nice matt finish, especially if you have an airbrush.
Happy new year dude. Been hanging for this one and wasn't disappointed. Looking forward to what you get up to in 2024. Will encourage me to dust off my Old Hammer and get it ready for The Old World.
Happy new year my dude! Glad you enjoyed it! 🙌🍻 good stuff! Get some paint on those old minis 🤝
Happy New Year, Dietz!
Great work as always. I love those archers, I'm a bit sad I only got one box of them back in the day.
Anyways, this video and the imminent release of the Old World give me the itch to start painting on my Empire again.
Happy new year mate! Thanks so much! I feel like these guys might get a rerelease with the old world on the horizon so fingers crossed 🤞 Good luck with those Empire models!
Excellent as always! Happy new year Deets!
Thanks mate! Happy new year!
Happy new year! New vid just what’s needed to start the year off right
Thank you! 🙌
Happy new year! My five year old son loves watching your videos with me. He wants to be the best miniature painter ever hehe
Happy new year mate! Nice, I hope he got a few minis under the tree for Chrissy 🙌
@@anvilofdoomminiatures He still has some battletech and blood bowl minis to paint, so he got a bunch of legos for christmas hehe.
I love Your videos mate! I really like the retro theme of the channel. I hope to see some middleearth figures some day!
Thanks for this. Im slowly transitioning from 40k stuff into medieval models in preparation of the Old World so its nice to see paint guides for all the stuff I missed out when WH Fantasy was still a thing
No worries mate! Good luck with building that old world army 🍻🤝
Waited all day for this gem!! Glad you're safe from the weather!
I hope it was worth the wait dude! 🙌
Top quality as always! Stay safe up there dude@@anvilofdoomminiatures
Nice one, Deets! Been hoping for some WHF stuff like everyone else. Brilliant job as always, really like the leather work on these. Happy New Year, Mate 👍🏻😃👊🏻
Thanks mate! Glad you like them! Happy new year! 🤝🍻
Have a great year man!
You too mate! 🍻🙌

Great video!
Thanks mate!
I don't usually like so modern miniatures, but these are decent. Nice paintjobs!
Yeah I feel the same way, these guys hit the Empire aesthetic just right.
Turned out well! Surprised you put them on the 20mm bases considering the impending drop of the Old World!
They look great! I've taken some inspiration from that brown recipe and bought some doombull brown. 😊
Thanks dude! Good luck with those leathers 🙌
Awesome content, like how you didn't use actual black on the black bit, feels like a key move in keeping things bright and old worldy
Thanks mate! Yeah I agree, it just gives them a pop and makes the the black not too flat 👍
Happy New Year! Hopefully there wasn’t too much damage at your place mate and that everyone is safe!
Happy new year mate! Thanks a lot! We are doing great! Was a wild week 🙌
Just thought about you while making breakfist and there you are ! Happy new year :D
Haha you don’t even need to turn the notification bell on! You’re in tune with the channel 😎🙌 happy new year! 🍻
Absolutely gorgeous as always! Always a pleasure seeing your videos! Sucks about all the stuff that happened in your area recently, but what can you do :p anyway, Happy New Year!
Thanks so much dude! Glad you enjoyed the video 🙌🍻 happy new year!
The bows look more like a light uncolored wood than ivory, which I think suits these archers.
Yeah I can definitely see that 👍
Nice paint job mate 👍🏻 I’m still doing my High Elves up for old world but progress is slow
Thanks dude! Keep at it! I’m behind as well 🥲
how about painting up the marauder giant? he will be availlable through gws made to order in the near future ;)
Some of your best yet! We need justice for the Pheasant though 🥲
Thanks so much man! I agree 🫡🥲🦃
Oh yeah!!! Happy new year!
Happy new year mate!
Sorry to hear about the mad weather. Thanks for posting still. You'll have to add an extra beard meme to your next video... (Although I do like the Mr Burns placeholder!)
Bloody hell, why does no one paint Reikland! Lol bloody top job mate.
Haha maybe next Empire batch paint mate! Thanks so much!
@anvilofdoomminiatures cheers, mate, no worries. Videos like this are converting me into "speed paints" I'll need these techniques when it comes to batch painting 25 State troops in one hit, lol
😊
Those models are nice. Wish I had some. Great job here.
But now I want to know what bird you used as a reference 🤣
Haha it’s a female Capercaillie 😂 I don’t think I got even close to what it looks like
Awesome as always!
Can you tell us which brushes you use?? They always look so crisp and pointy 😮
Thanks dude! I use an army painter precise detail brush, a size 1 Raphael Kolinsky and a cheap 00 from the local hobby shop 🙌 I hope that helps!
All right! Haven't even watched this yet but I wanted to let you know I'm looking forward to it. Always a good time.
In the future, when you have millions of followers, I will be able to say "I was there. At the beginning."
I hope you enjoy this one! Haha thanks mate! 🙌🍻🤝
@@anvilofdoomminiatures Sure did!
...looks at box of Empire detachment, full of inspiration that was never there before... Also: you should paint the Powder keg monkey! the most powerful Empire unit
I’ll add it to the list! 🙌
Wow, I didn't know there's was an imperial archer kit, but I guess not everyone can afford a matchlock or a crossbow.
HNY! Very coool 💥 Where you taking old minis?
Happy new year! Thanks so much!

The bottles were redesigned, so it's easy to tell the difference.
@@anvilofdoomminiatures Hey there, so I had a look around and from what I can gather, what used to be called Bronze Fleshtone before the revamp has now been retitled to Bronze Brown. It still has the same product code as the old Bronze Fleshtone (72.036) but I haven't found a direct comparison between the old paint and its current replacement.
Any chance you'll be picking up the new Old World sets to paint? 😀
Yeah dude! I’m thinking about grabbing a few old world releases to paint on the channel 🙌
how to paint red hair?
Well done with the paint job, they’re incredible and you are a great painted. The whole thing just seems so overproduced.
is the art on the walls yours?
It sure is 😊
@@anvilofdoomminiatures is it digital or hand painted? Do you sell it? Or have prints?
Awesome Dietz you are a Legend
