I really love this whole series. I watched the whole series on Patreon where you did the Raider. I did an entire Drukhari army in the turquoise scheme. It was my first full proper army. It makes me happy everytime I see this video.
Thanks for this one guys. The pink scheme is exactly what I was trying to picture for my future Drukhari warband so I will absolutely be ripping that off. So strange how pink the VMA Red ends up looking!
Yes! Thanks Henry this was a great vid 🤘🏻I love the pink scheme and will definitely be trying some of the techniques out. I want to achieve a solid grim dark style with mine so it’ll be interesting to see how things like streaking grime look over this type of work up. Cheers again!
Yeah I’d be dirtying them up for a personal army, I think the pink one in particular came out really well. If you’re gonna go heavy with the enamel washes then make sure it’s way too bright to begin with.
Even with their elaborate look, kabalites are one of the fastest models to paint. Just like to space marine, if not easier. After Skitarii its just a breeze, so easy. Preshade, thinspray, highlight, details, base, done.
I don't know how he gets his oil washes so perfect. I can only get granulation and sediment from the oil paint settling on my models and I don't understand what I am doing wrong. The Drukhari look awesome!
That pink one is soo tempting. Ditto for the turquoise. Must resist the siren call of Commorragh! A small aside, is Heresy-era Death Guard on the cards in the near future? I have 40k Death Guard languishing for that inspiration.
Another incredible video. I’ve tried using the tamia white and it’s way better than other stuff I’ve used. Is there any tricks to clean the airbrush though cause the tamia seems to give me more grief than acrylic due to not playing nice with water I guess ha. ?
Firstly, and this is not uncommon with your work, very well presented and great finish. But I have to ask, is that sort of work good for army painting. If you were doing a kill team I can see the time invested would not be so bad as there would be 10 models or so. But when it is an army for 40k do you think it is the sort of job where you either don't game with the figures or you game with patches of grey in your force until you have the time to complete the task. I ask because the airbrush work looked particularly time heavy. Especially with multiple layers going on the figures. By comparison, I painted a bunch of Sisters Rhinox Hide and then went with a Flesh Tearers Red (Contrast) over the armour. Job done pretty quickly and the Rhinox gave the recessed areas quite the shadow. Where as the legs, arms and shoulders caught the light beautifully with the red. My rule of thumb has been, big numbers need quicker jobs with time spent on Characters.
Could you recommend a substitute for the VMA Red you used for the pink scheme? Having difficulty finding that paint without ludicrous foreign shipping prices at the moment. Great job on these by the way, absolutely great.
After having gone through the Raider as well, would you still go for incubi darkness first and then terradon turquoise on the Kabalite? (Or did you change the method for the Kabalite after having completed both?)
What about us poor unfortunate souls who have not jumped onto the Contrast bandwagon? Would inks suffice for pin washing? I have several of the Tamiya panel washes, which I love, I imagine those would do fine as well, yes?
@@cultofpaint Sorry that was my bad with how I worded the comment, what I meant to say was how would you paint the plumes on the helmets with the blue scheme you painted?
At 2:00 when you say three drops of thinner to paint, is that three drops of thinner to three drops of paint, or three drops of thinner to one drop of paint, or some other ratio...? (EDIT: realized moments after typing this that it was stupid to ask three drops of thinner to three drops of paint because if that were the case you would have just said one-to-one ratio... -_-) I know thinning paint is a much more qualitative than quantitative proposition, but proper consistency has always been a big nebulous mystery to me and I'm spending a lot of time stripping paint off of test minis after disastrous results, haha.
Pink is underrated perfection for Dark Eldar armour.
Too bad Slaaneshites wear pink.

That’s its awesome to hear! Thanks Andreas
Thanks for sharing - i do like how you showed the variances between oil, acrylic and enamel pin washing.
Thanks Mike, glad it was useful

This is just the best Drukhari painting video. Thank you so much! 😊
That pink looks awesome. Hope you guys are well.
Thank you! You too!

@@cultofpaint thanks for the tip mate 👌🏻
Recently I bought collection of drukhari miniatures and thought of how to paint them. Now I got an idea. Thanks for great tutorial
Such a great model range
The torques is my favourite of these. Good job! Allso the enamel wach you do is really cool, that's a new thing to me.
I really like using them.
Execellent!!! The pink/red one is my favorite...
Love the grey and red. Might try that with my space wolves
Very useful video. I'd like to try airbrushing armor and this gave me some ideas.
Go for it!

Idk. Guardians are pretty easy to paint haha
love that magenta colour scheme
Fantastic video as always, thank you!
Thank you!
Wish Vallejo paints weren't so hard to track down in the US, even on EBAY all the listings are from Germany
Love the purple one!
Pretty full on isn't it!
Another great video!
Thanks dude!
I don't know how he gets his oil washes so perfect. I can only get granulation and sediment from the oil paint settling on my models and I don't understand what I am doing wrong. The Drukhari look awesome!
Try thinning them a bit less and/or applying less at a time.
@@cultofpaint I will do just that as it seems to be my problem. Thank you!
Awesome as always. Any chance be hitting army painter sisters of battle. I know it was one of your first vids but a quicker method would be cool 😬
We’ll definitely take a look.
@@cultofpaint This would be awesome. Sisters are my lockdown army so interesting to see how you approach it
Would love to see your take on a thousand son and some tzeench demons
That would be cool.
Great work !
Thanks a lot!
That pink one is soo tempting. Ditto for the turquoise. Must resist the siren call of Commorragh!
A small aside, is Heresy-era Death Guard on the cards in the near future? I have 40k Death Guard languishing for that inspiration.
Thanks! Full heresy tutorials coming very soon
Brilliant tutorial guy , can we see a genestealer cult neophyte in the future
Sure thing
Another incredible video. I’ve tried using the tamia white and it’s way better than other stuff I’ve used. Is there any tricks to clean the airbrush though cause the tamia seems to give me more grief than acrylic due to not playing nice with water I guess ha. ?
It does seem to need more cleaning than just about any other paint! I use normal airbrush cleaner and a qtip.
@@cultofpaint ok great! Thanks for the reply. Good to know it’s not just me.

Any magenta should work.
On the turquoise scheme, do you apply the base of incubi over a white prime? Or a black prime?
After having gone through the Raider as well, would you still go for incubi darkness first and then terradon turquoise on the Kabalite? (Or did you change the method for the Kabalite after having completed both?)
Changed it having done the Raider
What about us poor unfortunate souls who have not jumped onto the Contrast bandwagon? Would inks suffice for pin washing? I have several of the Tamiya panel washes, which I love, I imagine those would do fine as well, yes?
You can pin wash with anything. We did a whole video on how different paints behave.
How long does it take to paint one of these in this style?
would AK white spirits be fine? this sansodor stuff is almost impossible to find in canada and the options I see are really pricy.
Yep, any mineral spirits should do the job.
looks amazing - wish there was a way to do this without an airbrush
A good smooth basecoat painted with your brush would still look really nice with all the other process over the top.
For your blue colour scheme what colour would you use if the helmet had fur on it and stuff?
any colour really. I tend to base furs with something like Skavenblight dinge and then highlight up by adding in an off white

yeah it was 3:1 thinner:paint. Keep going, you'll get there!
Almost wanted to buy some d eldar... But then thought missus would kill me if I started more 😂😂😂
Maybe just the one box?....
Are these on 32mm bases? :O I thought they came on 28?
Yeah. Didn't like how they looked on 28s!!
I suck painting anything smaller than a primaris Space boy.
*sees dark eldar tutorial - clicks* *sees airbrush, hits back*
Yup, went looking for this comment now on my wyay out. Hope you find something good!
Yeah but what about those without a sppray gun really annoys me with these videos not everyone "learning to paint" will have a spray gun.
Follow a guide that doesn't use an airbrush. Use a rattle can and then the other techniques here. Maybe try drybrushing.
