This was incredible to see. Thank you Vince. I hope I speak on behalf of everyone that sharing these endeavors is incredibly insightful and educational.
Incredible insight I must say I understand why you can't show us 100% but you describe to the best of your ability 100% and your transparency shows humbleness and the fact that you want me to be as good as I can be you don't care if someone builds on your work and shows you something new. Awesome sportsmanship bro
I love how this shows that you don't need the most fancy techniques for competitions like this. Just simple techniques done well, a strong vision and diligance will get you 99% of the way there. This is stunning work and I love how you don't overcomplicate things when explaining them. Lots of painters use lingo that turns off newbie painters. You explain things nice and plainly, even at this level of skill.
The way you talk about the assembly process reminds me of Gunpla. So I'm approaching my first Knight this way, once it and the magnetization kit gets here. These videos are super useful to learn what kind of techniques are unique to tabletop.
2:34 I am usually pretty zen when building mini's and I think that is why I appreciate that part of the hobby. I understand that is not the same for everyone. In fact I remember you (Vince) saying that with most projects you rather paint than build and thus are ok with cutting corners.
When using the tape, I had a thought about painting house using tape for mask--you mask then use either a layer of the base color or a layer of clear poly to seal the tape and then you go ahead with adding the second color. This way, the base or clear layer seals the gaps between tape and surface and you don't get any accent color bleeding under. (Of course, this negates the "free edge highlight" which might be a bit of a bummer.)
LOL ! You titled this a 'big' project 😆 So funny. Very nice painting! Very patience colour building. My BIG project is a Warmaster! In AT scale about the same size as a Knight yes, But ... I do the 40k scale 3D printed version. Now ... THAT's a big project! One question though; Did this Titan win a Golden Demon award?
17:07 I can tell that you are trying to get an even distance between the stripes. What can help is to place twice as many pieces of masking tape with no spaces in between en than remove half of them. LOL: you mentioned that option 30 secs later... That's what I get for posting right away. The reason I do that is because that way I don't forget what I was trying to say, but I run the risk of this happening. Oh well, there is always the edit button.
This is a packed video! Soooooo many tiny little tidbits. This one is saved in a special place to watch over and over(title Vince’s Futzing Tidbitz). Great job in instruction. And oh I almost forgot to say….the knight doesn’t suck! Thanks!
Between 30min and 34 min is when Vince tells the secret to always winning, it was too powerful so youtube had to silence him :( Seriously tho Vince, you've outdone yourself this time, that pink is absolutely flawless and the freehand? chef's kiss. Look forward to seeing this badboy in person in Nov!
This is my favourite piece you did, out of everything you entered for the Golden demon just gone. Was just amazed by the paint job, & had so many questions as to how you went about it Vince. So as you can imagine couldn't have clicked fast enough. Thankyou for sharing your process, & the reminder & importance to set yourself microgoals in any big project .
This is probably my favorite piece of yours that I've seen. I absolutely love this piece, and there's some great tips in there too. Inspiring stuff, and all the luck at Golden Daemon when it comes around.
Don’t want to be pedantic, but I have the audiobook. It’s pronounced, at least by the British voice-actors Ban-E-Lash. Amazing book highly recommend, House Devine is badass.
You kinda need to stop, please....... If the bar goes much higher ima need a space elevator to reach it...... For real stunning and beautiful work. Getting back into the hobby after a few years break and using an airbrush for the first time and loving it! I suck and got years of trial and error ahead which I am super excited about. Will be subbing and learning :D keep up the amazing work!!!!
maybe there were two periods, where the voice was not there. Not sure if Vince had nothing special to speak about at these moments... However Great video and project. Completley not my choice of army or colors, but lots of insights and inspiration.
For those looking for hazard stripe tape it's easy to find it for relatively cheap by searching for pinstripe tape. This PSA has been brought to you by your local Iron Warriors player.
This was Epic Vince, just what I was looking for. Love that pop colour in the shadows. You take bold colours and blend them so well. Loved the exhaust burn, I’ll be coming back to this video time and again. Now I need to choose my colours, what would be the pop colour of predominantly red panels?
Vince, I am going to try your colour scheme as it’s not colours I’ve used before and I want a challenge. I can’t get hold of golden fluorescent pink or the Kimera colours. Are there alternatives? Also are there any of the pink colours for the carapace that are not essential for a non Golden demon paint job? Thanks in advance if you have time to answer
Hey Vince, firstly, another great video and an incredible looking model. I love that you could absolutely guess you were the one who painted it without being told. In this video and a few recently, you've talked a lot about working with very thin paints through the airbrush, which if I understand correctly allows you to both have more control when building blends and work closer to the mini because the thinner paint means you can run the airbrush at a lower PSI. I've tried working thinly recently (ratios like 1 paint to 8 thinner) but whenever I do, I get paint drying incredibly quickly on the tip of my airbrush. Am I missing something obvious? It's not particularly hot or dry where I work so I'm not sure what the problem is.
Watching this video just restored my will to build and paint Imperial Knights after a summer project where everything that could go wrong did. By the way have you tried out the AK True Metal waxes? I had my doubts but tried drybrushing it on as a highlight with a makeup brush over a metal color base coat and it was... Wow. Took the metallic sheen up a notch further
Awesome piece, of course! Do you plan on entering this for spring of ‘23? Or is this an older project, but released in the past few days? Either way, I’ll be interested to see how it does. Thanks for the video!
Great knight! 2 questions tho: - Around 8:00 you are airbrushing without needle protector. Does it help with anything or what does it change in the paint flow? - Is magic gold mixture a trade secret? :)
Great piece of art,hope your work make the judges eyes pleased ! As a Slaanesh creation,what do you think of add more crazyness and painting a portrait figure of female beauty Slaanesh gooddess with tattoes ,maybe on a banner on the back...?
Great Job! I'm trying to replicate this color scheme with my own knights but lack an airbrush. You mentioned that this color scheme was possible without an airbrush so how would you go about doing so?
Question any plans on doing a toturial on constructions on gaming bases. Ala lets say you want to build a tree on your gaming base or a wall or anything like that. Sure there are various toturials for doing it on a diorama But the things a diorama needs to withstand and a gaming base is much different and so to is proberbly the materials needed to build such stuff.
11:50 very true. Thin oil washes can not only have a minimal effect, which might be something your where going for, but worse can more easily separate on you. Since I switched to thicker oil washes, this hasn't happened once.
When blacking out things like trim or just trim in general how do you deal with that evil little lip that separates the trim from the plate? Did you use black contrast to black out the trim? Do you bother with that lip when adding the trim colour? I always make so many mistakes trying to get at that lip
Is it ok to ask about varnish? What was the reason you chose to varnish between steps and what informed a choice between gloss or matte? Absolutely killer work by the way I'm in complete awe at how good it looks
It’s always okay to ask anything. :) - I’m varnishing as a save point, so if I mess anything up. I can flood the area and remove it more easily. It also protects all of those other thin layers from being disturbed. I am working with very thin glazes here and they are fragile. I don’t generally use gloss, as that is hard to paint over (that the point, that’s why it’s glossy) my mix of satin and ultra matte flattens finish while protecting
Sound quit about 31:38 I really do appreciated the systematic demonstration of painting such an advanced miniature!. Also, thanks for the beginning portion where you showed something of the process of assembly. I've just received my order of items from Archon, and I will have have LOTS of assembly to work on.
@@VinceVenturella I kinda like it, although I wish the voiceover faded while the background music crescendoed as we watch you make a broken deckal beautiful. Anyhoo great video 👍
Im only 5 minutes in and absolutely fascinated with the powder you use. I dont know much outside of citadel. So does it self adhere to the base or is that the purpose of the wash?
I find it incredibly funny that I'm working on my first army piece, a Knight Abominant, and not only do you have a video on painting a high quality knight but its with a VERY similar color scheme to what I picked, haha. Mine is less vivid and the turqoise more neon to seem more spectral since its a House Korvax Knight, but this is still incredibly helpful!
Wow, incredible! My aspirations can only aspire to be this good someday. I love the bits of encouragement along the way. Especially since I’m nowhere near this level of proficiency yet. Vince, I’d be shocked if you don’t place.
Hey Vince. I'm working up a Slanesh piece trying to emulate your color scheme you've outlined here. I'm making the base fairly elaborate (for me at least) and I was curious, what brand and color pigments you used on your base? Thank you for all your amazing content!!!
For the inspiration I'm currently working on one of my golden level projects and I pick something I've never painted before just to try it I'm currently painting kalbanda the demon general corn so please wish me luck
Vince have you talked about AK Extreme Metals before anywhere? Thinking about getting some, but wondering if you have any caution/advice - I’m assuming they’re alcohol-based but easier to use than liquid metals?
While putting it all together, do you think there be room and the proper angles to drill holes to feed LEDs into guns via the arm from the body of the model?
Beautiful Vince! I think recently I've seen so much negativity towards TMM. It's nice to see it done to such a high quality. I would love to see some of the techniques you use to paint tanks, vehicles or aircraft. Best of luck at Golden Demon!
I love doing dioramas and similar forever taking projects, but never things of this size or texture because I really enjoy painting with a brush and get nothing from airbrushing.
It looks like you shaved off the knight iconography on one of the shoulder pauldrons to put on the decal. Do you have any tips on how to go about doing that to get a smooth finish so a decal can be added.
Having painted a couple of large knights and a slew of war dogs, I’m definitely with you on the idea of breaking the job into mini goals. It really helped me to break the knight down by each panel, weapon, the legs and the chassis. My abominant took over a month but I absolutely love it.
Hey Vince realy love your work, espescially your color videos. Was wondering if you could go over how to make that turquoise to purple to pink effect more in-depth. I see it on a lot of your stuff and I’m just in love
I'll see what I can do, but it's really just paint those colors. ;) - Now, that being said, the tones like you see here make it work, so I'll see what I can do.
@@VinceVenturella I thank you for your consideration. My need to paint slaanesh colors is an obsession. The problem is they never end up as desired. (Very thematic)
Just purchased some of the Vallejo master metalics, I normally use the air metals, for a reference point. Do you thin the Masters Metals for airbrushing, if so about what ratio/thinners?
Not sure if you could do all these steps on chaos space marines but even if you could get the burgundy, Violet, turquoise that would be a fantastic scheme! Cheers Vince for sharing this with us all
Another question Vince (still rewatching this video regularly...) - in general I've had great success with oil washes for pin washing/panel lining. My one problem though is when it comes to big stuff like a knight chassis, when I slap a good oil wash all over the metal skeleton, it never seems to "dry" right. I put that in quotes, because it seems dry, but the model will stay "sticky" and glossy in places, even days later. Any idea what I'm talking about/advice on what I might be doing that causes this?
Sounds like it's too thin. Note, you will always need to wipe and clean up to some degree, but it sounds like either the pil paint is bad somehow (lower quality, hard to say) or we're getting it too thin and it's breaking up the material.
38:18 I have been working on getting a very smooth base rim and the best way I have found is to find black paint that will self level like Vallejo Black Primer (also more durable than regular paint). Put it on thick, but not too thick otherwise it will collect too much at the bottom (look for the sweet spot). It sometimes needs multiple coats, but the end result is worth it.
Wow...that was YOURS?! Incredible! I was showing this model to my girlfriend the other night and we were completely infatuated with it. It is absolutely gorgeous! I can't believe it was you that painted it. That's great. I should have known. The more I watch, the more I see how much your painting style appeals to me. Great job 👏
Great video and project as always. When you say you are doing multiple varnishes during the painting process, I’m curious to know what varnish exactly are you using? Is it with a spray can or airbrush? Thanks as always!!!
The amount of useful instruction you can pack into an enthralling 40 min video is tremendous. Definite save/watch/repeat material. The finished Knight is a thing of beauty and an obvious labor of love. Thank you for sharing this freely. Inspiring stuff man. Good luck at GD … cant wait 4 the new game drop.
Hi Vince, jaw dropping knight! You spoke several times about fixing mistakes - any advice for fixing mistakes on surfaces such as your beautiful armour panels where the airbrush transitions mean there isnt really a base colour to go back in with?
This was my favorite of yours. It was a pleasure to judge it up close at MHE. As for the inspiration, I took my backdrop away from my GD Drycha entry, as I had heard they didn't like backdrops...GW certainly has a favored style.
Thanks for the great content as always! when you switched over to the purple airbrushing (right after the zenithal), did you stay at 40psi? I'm still getting the hang of this airbrushing thing, and I feel like I never quite know where to set that psi.

mistakes will happen on a big project like this. just keep going. xD
Drops out at 30:35, returns after the decal is painted, around 34:40
I kinda just figured Vince wanted to give us a chill moment of music and NMM painting that Decal haha
Wait, I put this ammount of effort into assembly on every single one of my minis... Am I not supposed to do that? ( '-')
@Vince Venturella just so you are aware, the audio cuts out at 30:36 and comes back at 34:34
I was just coming to post this.
yep, audio gone, just was about to state the same

Might still be too much paint or air, but it can happen, just keep a wet sponge next to you so you can clean regularly.

Great knight!
2 questions tho:
- Around 8:00 you are airbrushing without needle protector. Does it help with anything or what does it change in the paint flow?
- Is magic gold mixture a trade secret? :)

2) Nope - ruclips.net/video/26_1W7zR-cA/видео.html

PS absolutely love this guy and I rewatch this vid all the time. Got my first knight today so revisiting again for inspiration :)
I've played with them a little, they need white spirits actually to thin and work with, but they are pretty great through the airbrush.
While putting it all together, do you think there be room and the proper angles to drill holes to feed LEDs into guns via the arm from the body of the model?
It'd have to be something from very early that I planned out.
Awesome work. I still remember listening to Vengeful Spirit on audible at work three years ago. I remember where I was and what I was doing vividly.

Cut it off with a knife and clippers, then sanded, then sanded more, then small putty or sprue goo, then more sanding, then varnish.

Next level tips and tricks from Vince… RGB headphones for perfect blends.
Just purchased some of the Vallejo master metalics, I normally use the air metals, for a reference point. Do you thin the Masters Metals for airbrushing, if so about what ratio/thinners?
Are you talking about Vallejo Metal Colors? If so, 1 to 1 is generally my ratio through the airbrush.
@@VinceVenturella yup, just got them in the mail and realize my question was kinda moot, they are already airbrush ready. thanks
Not sure if you could do all these steps on chaos space marines but even if you could get the burgundy, Violet, turquoise that would be a fantastic scheme! Cheers Vince for sharing this with us all
I've used this scheme on marines, but you're right, it's harder just because of the small space. :)
@@VinceVenturella you must be a sniper with that airbrush! Cheers Vince all the best
When you mask, you should respray your base coat first. It seals the edges of the tape and you get crisper lines.
Another question Vince (still rewatching this video regularly...) - in general I've had great success with oil washes for pin washing/panel lining. My one problem though is when it comes to big stuff like a knight chassis, when I slap a good oil wash all over the metal skeleton, it never seems to "dry" right. I put that in quotes, because it seems dry, but the model will stay "sticky" and glossy in places, even days later. Any idea what I'm talking about/advice on what I might be doing that causes this?
Sounds like it's too thin. Note, you will always need to wipe and clean up to some degree, but it sounds like either the pil paint is bad somehow (lower quality, hard to say) or we're getting it too thin and it's breaking up the material.
It’s probably not a quality issue (Windsor Newton oils and their Sansodour thinner) - but definitely could be too thin, I’ll work on that
Thank you!
Absolutely gorgeous. Bravo Vince.
I hope you win! Looks fantastic!!
Really enjoyed this video. I really need to start using my airbrush more. So many great tips.
Hey Vince, I Love the Paintjob. Freaking awesome! What varnish do you use between layers?
66/33 Ultra Matte to Satin Varnish.
@@VinceVenturella Thank you :)
38:18 I have been working on getting a very smooth base rim and the best way I have found is to find black paint that will self level like Vallejo Black Primer (also more durable than regular paint). Put it on thick, but not too thick otherwise it will collect too much at the bottom (look for the sweet spot). It sometimes needs multiple coats, but the end result is worth it.
Definitely agree about micro goals. It’s how you complete any complex project
A for effort Vince you are the technique guru.
130 hours?! It looks like it too. Sorry for my ignorance but did you win Vince? I hope so.
I won't know until this one competes in a few months. :)
@@VinceVenturella Ah ok. Fair enough. Good luck sir. It looks spectacular.
Wow...that was YOURS?! Incredible! I was showing this model to my girlfriend the other night and we were completely infatuated with it. It is absolutely gorgeous! I can't believe it was you that painted it. That's great. I should have known. The more I watch, the more I see how much your painting style appeals to me. Great job 👏
This was a new one, the original one you're referencing from Chicago was also mine, just the former version of this. :)
30:36 rest in peace commentary. I guess I will revisit if it gets a reupload?
It comes back at 34, but really it was just me talking about the process of futzing. :)
I think I learned more about airbrushing here than previous videos! Fantastic effort!
Hey Vince how did you fuse the head pieces? Did you use a jewelers saw?
That's how it comes, it's a cool face mask, no conversion necessary. :)
Great video and project as always. When you say you are doing multiple varnishes during the painting process, I’m curious to know what varnish exactly are you using? Is it with a spray can or airbrush? Thanks as always!!!
Airbrush, 3-1 ultra matte to satin varnish
The amount of useful instruction you can pack into an enthralling 40 min video is tremendous. Definite save/watch/repeat material. The finished Knight is a thing of beauty and an obvious labor of love. Thank you for sharing this freely. Inspiring stuff man. Good luck at GD … cant wait 4 the new game drop.
Glad it was helpful!
Love the knight! Great content Vince, hope you knight does well on GD :)
Hi Vince, jaw dropping knight! You spoke several times about fixing mistakes - any advice for fixing mistakes on surfaces such as your beautiful armour panels where the airbrush transitions mean there isnt really a base colour to go back in with?
Get as close as you can and work it, if it’s small, you can tell, you just have to get close.
Hey Vince! Just curious what grit of sanding sticks you use? I have some but I worry that they are too abrasive and will damage the surface.
Varies, I have them from fine to rough, depends on the purpose, but I finish on quite fine.
@@VinceVenturella Good to know, thanks for the info! Any particular brand you prefer to use?
@@ShinXyres I just get random packs on amazon, nothing special.
This was my favorite of yours. It was a pleasure to judge it up close at MHE. As for the inspiration, I took my backdrop away from my GD Drycha entry, as I had heard they didn't like backdrops...GW certainly has a favored style.
This one’s actually new, you’ll see this one next year. ;)
Perfect how to for my future fire wasps
Thanks for the great content as always! when you switched over to the purple airbrushing (right after the zenithal), did you stay at 40psi? I'm still getting the hang of this airbrushing thing, and I feel like I never quite know where to set that psi.
Nope, that was down to 18psi
