Excellent tutorial; thank you for sharing. I found shaking my paint bottles a lot easier once I bought a $7 kit of Army Painter stainless-steel mixing balls (I would suggest to newcomers that they open the container inside a small box just in case the little balls go flying everywhere, until they get used to how the packaging is made - the store I bought mine from actually put clear tape on the sides of the packages). I really like how newcomers to Age of Sigmar won't have to contend with a split shoulder pauldron like we talked about on one of your other videos, and the posing makes it reasonably easy to paint an already assembled model instead of having to paint in sub-assemblies to not leave paint gaps in joints or undersides.
Thanks, I am glad you liked it. I agree putting shakers in can help alot, though admittedly I just decant all my citadel paints into droppers :-) I personally prefer hematite or glass/ceramic for my mixers, since I have had issues with 'stainless' balls rusting. Though I have never used the Army Painter ones, so I cannot really comment on their quality. I am big fan of the new design for the Stormcast, I totally agree about the pauldron and easy of paint, they are much more beginner friendly model.
Thanks so much, please keep producing these in this format. I have recently returned to miniature painting after long long break (early eighties) and these types of tutorials are so helpful. Paint technology has come a long way.
I am glad you have found it so helpful. I recently painted a Blood Bowl team using Coat d'Armes paints, which are from the same manufacturer that made GW's early 90s paints, it really made me appreciate the quality of modern paints.
I'm 32 in October. I haven't painted in must be 20 years. I got the orruk paint set. I primed them last night. I'm really looking forward to painting them. I didn't have youtube videos to help me back then. I used to paint straight out of the pot because I knew no better and my paintings were OK but could have been better.
Awesome man, just got this set for my son and I to do our first paint jobs. Couldn't have asked for a better video. Looking forward to painting this evening.
I just got into warhammer, I got a starter set and all, but I was really nervous about the painting.. This really helped, and I think it turned out nicely, thank you!
Got myself a primaris and a stormcast to try out and I'm currently doing the first layer of the stormcast while the other one dries. Maybe it was nerves but I feel like this one's way easier to get into the nooks of. Thanks for the video!
n/p, I find the stormcast with the really wide open poses are noticeably easier to paint than some space marines with the bolter held across the chest. Especially when you can just paint the shield separately and pop it in at the end.
@@SleepyWhatsIt Yeah that's exactly the one I have here, hence the trouble. I'll be putting on second layers tomorrow. Quite enjoying it so far so I'll most likely pick up a few more models soon.
I know this is an old video but I gotta say thanks showcasing how to go around painting minis, one question I have is alot of tutorials regarding the stormcast eternals is no one covers the ones without helmets, do you know what kind of paint to use on their heads because the only one I have seen so far is cadian flesh something and that doesnt come in the starter set
Glad you found it helpful 😄 If you have just the 6 paints from this kit, I think you're going to have a very difficult time trying to paint any type of natural human skin tone. This is because there are no reds or even warm tones in this and that's pretty essential for painting skin tones. You might be able to pull off an other worldly tone using white with a bit of blue, but that could go sideways pretty quick. If you have access to the paints from the Orruk starter set, that includes a light brown and a red. So combined with the white from this set, you probably could start mixing to get something that would be a usable skin tone. But in general skin tones are one of those paints that you end up with a lot of different variations of because the human eye is really good for picking out issues with skin tone. So you just end up with a lot of them to make up a good looking skin (I normally build my storm cast with helmets on to avoid painting faces 😅). The classic tanned caucasian skin tone recipe using Citadel paints is Base in Bugman's Glow, Wash with Reikland Fleshtone, Layer with Cadian Fleshtone, Highlight with Kislev Flesh. If you want lighter, start with Cadian as your base, if want darker start with something like Knight Questor, or even darker, and adjust your layer and highlight appropriately.
@@SleepyWhatsIt thanks. Really enjoying these 'paint along' videos. Just followed your necrons set video a few days ago. Super helpful for beginners like me.
I really enjoyed your tutorial and can't wait to get started on my new figures! Would you recommend to use a black primer or perhabs a white primer for this model?
Probably black, because most of the colors are dark and/or have good coverage. So you won't have to apply many coats to cover the primer. Black is nice for a prime also because any thin basecoats spots or missed nooks will just look like shading.
White primer should work fine. You don't get 'free' shading from it, so the overall look might be a touch brighter than if you use a black. And missed areas in the recesses will be more obvious, since they will be white.
Probably. I haven't used it personally, but I am not aware of any specific complaints about it. I tend to use Reaper or Vallejo primers, but that is mostly what is easiest for me to get.

Bought this set when i saw it in my local hobbyshop. And painting and watching your video brought me so much Joy!
First time i paint in 15 years!!
I am glad that you enjoyed it
I recommend always priming your pallet also to see how the paint will react the primer and subsequently the model.

As a beginner I’m restricted to what’s in the few sets I have so this is super helpful thank you!!!
Glad this was helpful ☺️

Completely new to this hobby as a whole but this made it incredibly fun and approachable!

I am glad I could be of help 😃
Great tutorial. Super happy with the results on my first model following these steps. Thanks a lot!
I am glad it worked out for you 🙂
Thanks for helping me out here! This should have more likes

I just got this kit and am excited to paint along. I was just wondering should I buy a black paint to initially use as a base?
I would recommend a black primer so that the paint is less prone to rubbing off.
Can I prime these in black and still get good results? I've only got a black primer
Yeah, black primer will work fine
