Void knights Successors of: imperial fists The void knights are known for their humble beginnings as a small chapter of imperial fists who would paint their armor with extremely thick coats. They have since matured into a Noble chapter famous for using two thin fortifications instead of one thick one while creating barricades for the battle field
That’s a solid battle strategy. Two slightly weaker forts, one tanks the main assault, while the second acts as a fallback position and/or fire support.
actually, id have a cool rule for paint coats: if the paint is thick, add +1 to the save number of the mini but remove +2 movement. thought of it just now
It is really good to see how you have become better with the years and really inspiring. Sometimes I see my own minis and think they aren't great but then I watch a video like this and gives me hope that I can get better until they look really good.
I'm there with you on that one, I feel the same way! I'm not nearly the maestro that Overlord Duncan is, but it's because of watching his videos in part (other than just sitting down and doing it often) that my painting has improved markedly over the last couple years in particular. He rocks, eh?
@@MaskedRiderChris he definitely rocks. It really amazes me how he starts with just a bit of grey plastic and comes up with beautiful minis to the point that it is a bit incredible that they can end up looking like that but watching his process through this videos and the old community ones is enlightening because that way we can follow him and get something similar if not exactly right for now. So let's keep practicing, watching and following in hopes that we can be as good as him or almost as good at least ;)
If you are feeling a bit bad about your skills, just pick up one of your first miniatures and compare to a recent one. The difference will be night and day, and you will fulfilled and proud of yourself.
I honestly really like Duncan bringing up the fact that mistakes are pretty much unavoidable, but they can be fixed or worked around. It certainly makes me feel better about messing up!
I'm impressed that the old mini actually had some thought put into it. My first space marines were all olive green and black, because I thought they were just space army guys. I had no clue about different chapters and couldn't fathom why you might want to paint any of them red, or bright blue or whatever. When I learned a little more about 40k my favorite chapter became the Dark Angels, simply because I thought they were dressed the most sensibly.
Hahaha! I was exactly the same! People kept saying to me “all the other Warhammer models are so colorful, you should make them colorful” ...so I gave my olive green dudes yellow shoulder pads to make them happy. Had the same thoughts about the Dark Angels even.
@@seanwhitman8353 to be fair i sort of believe 9/10 of the cool shite in admech is because Cawl doesn't care.......like one day he went beep boop cowboys on giant cyborg dogs that breath fire!
I can't belive the stripes are hand painted! They look amazingly stright! I was sure you were going to get out the masking tape like I do for this kind of thing. Wonderful job!
11yr old me had the Cyber Sharks, a crusade force of several chapters, they became stranded on a remote planet. With no hope of rescue all the marines integrated with the small human colony, becoming farmers , miners and fishermen, many years later they returned to conflict when a battle between Blood angels and Eldar crashed on to the surface of their world. So the Marines left their families taking their sons as to form up the scouts (yes 11yr old me tore up the lore book like a rebel) using all the salvaged armour and tech to form a new New Chapter they all had grey and black camo shoulder pads and a mix of chapter armour colours. They even created a Hybrid of Eldar and Terminator armour that worked and looked a lot like Gravis, atleast in my head (a genius before my time, Cawl stole my work) Though sticking terminator arms on eldar models isnt really the greatest looking thing.... I was happy for a year or so, until my friend Mr.C explained Space marines couldn't make babies with humans and how crap my paint scheme actually looked so i swapped them for his 2nd Ed plastic orks, they go re-sprayed into his Blood angels. on my 13th birthday i joined the Dark Angels, 10years later 9 of the Repainted Cyber sharks and a Blood angel SGT returned to my collection as Mr.C needed drinking money and i started blood angels.
This is why I love your videos. It's not only a two-thin-coats-god demonstration of force, it's also the tale of a hobbyist, from childhood to now, with all the fun that comes with !
All of these tutorials are just top class, both for actual instructive purposes and just as something therapeutic and entertaining to watch. Thank you to both of you for your hard work, can’t wait for more!
@@vitaliyred622 Also, the Chapter/Legion Symbol being on the right shoulder is a clear indicator for their old heritage, wearing mostly Mk V and VI armour. The chevrons replaced the studs on the newer shoulder guards.
I have decided that I'm subscribed for using small ideas for different things. Obi wan's armour for my tau These chevrons for my Iron warriors I love this channel and your great style of tips and advice!
Duncan this space marine chapter looks so cool...and the new Primaris Space Marines with their beatyfull new armor are just perfect for it. To think you came up with this scheme at 11 y/o wow...the future was set right then and there for you. Great work...really love it
Hey Duncan, fan from Italy here. I just wanted to thank you for all the help and inspiration you gave to our little community of tabletop gamers here where I live. You truly are a legend among painters of all countries! Cheers and keep it up :)
Wow, thank you so much for the kind words Andrea. I'll pass these on to Roger (the other half of our team). We're glad you enjoy it and say hi to your community for us 😊
Very nice scheme!!! I love it when schemes aren't just boring palette swaps of other existing chapters, but they instead have their own unique colours, layouts or details. It's almost like a mix between Luna wolves and iron warriors too!!
I've been painting for roughly the same amount of time, and I direct everyone that asks me questions to you. This video, in particular, shows so many skills that it's a perfect primer to leveling up as a painter. Glad to be a subscriber to the painting academy, and I'm thankful that you're making teaching my friends easy!
The Void Knight looks outstanding. Great colors and awesome tutorial. Love that you superimposed the paints and brushes you used on the top of the screen.
I am so glad you made your own channel! I really enjoyed your warhammer tv videos. Also the white and yellow colours almost don't look real, they're that good!
I like how when Duncan was trying to explain how to correct runaway wash, he tried to do a section quickly so he’d have a mess to clean up and still did it perfectly, then had to go and make the mistake deliberately. Truly a master who has to try to mess up.
Would love to see a video of the brushes you prefer for different step/techniques. Still new to the hobby so the subtle aspects I still don’t fully grasp yet.
So GOOD! Love the scheme, and you did an amazing job as always. It's also great to see you go back to a scheme you painted as a kid and the little bits of lore were excellent!
What a great video! The ideas of ship to ship boarding actions, the yellow shoulder and the theme of 'knight' made me think of these guys as Imperial Fist successors. Their gene-seed brothers might have an issue with hazard markings though. I have some old Crimson Fists I painted when I was a little kid (they were on the box at rhe time!) and still love those guys....
Came in for chevrons, did not regret it. No more getting offset in the middle and backside cause I started in the front corner! Also love the chapter colors. Iron Within Iron Without!
Hi Duncan. A while back, I commented on one of your videos asking for beginer tips, and you were kind enough to answer. Just wanted to let you know that I now am the proud owner of a small Necron and Space Marine force. Fully assembled, but still unpainted due to a lack of time, other projets and a shortage of primer in my local hobby stores. And it turned out to be a good thing, as I was going to commit the same error as you years ago and paint them with tiny size 0 and 00 brushes... Those minis should be primed today or tomorrow if the weather allows it, and I'm ordering some better brushes as we speak. Thanks a lot for your videos, you are particulary good at making the whole process of painting look less intimidating.
So 11 year old Duncan managed to create a Space Marine color scheme that makes the model look genuinely badass and intimidating to me, something GW itself has never succeeded at. Neat!
Nice to see you paint a White colored space marine, would like to see a White Scar miniature in the future. And hopefully this video takes away some fear people have of painting white Marines, Sisters, Tau Battlesuits etc.
Back in the days of the snap fot paint set when the gw stores smelt of solvent and boxes was a fiver each... the good old days of racks on racks of blisters that made kids dream lol 😆
11 year old Duncan was surprisingly good at making color schemes.

When I was younger I had made my own type of space marines and called them the Mithril Maelstroms lmao

Duncan: *purposefully makes a mistake to seem relatable*
there are no mistakes just cheeky little highlights

Duncan is the Bob Ross of mini-painting. I could listen to him painting for days.
I think he needs to show us how to paint some happy little wargame scenery trees to complete the image.

I love the fact that you can't help that wry smile whenever you say "Two thin coats" ...
Dear Duncan,
We need your full army spotlight!

I came to say this. I wanna see the void nights in all their glory!

It is really good to see how you have become better with the years and really inspiring.
Sometimes I see my own minis and think they aren't great but then I watch a video like this and gives me hope that I can get better until they look really good.
Everyone has to start somewhere, just keep practicing, learn from your mistakes, never give up and mainly. just enjoy it, enjoy the process. 😊

Raptors are the ones you're looking for. Dark Angels appear to be sensibly dressed until all the monastic vestments come out.
The raven guard seem suited well to stealth until they pull out the WHITE HELMETS
“He has chevrons because 11 year old me thought they looked awesome”
No arguments here
Wait Perturabo stole 11 year old Duncan's idea!
Doesn't plan an Iron Warriors army and call the Preator Duncan Rhodes
I think it's very good to show us your mistakes during the first shading of agrax earthshade, lot of beginners like me need it to see we are not alone
Glad it helped 😊
Yep. My first time painting was on a white Tau turret. The mess I got after shading was disheartening, but then, the power of the clean up stages!
Amazing concept, seems like a cool chapter
Thank you 😊

To be clear, any excuse to get to meet Roger.....
