Lahmian medium is different to Contrast medium, Its for re-hydrating paints that get too thick, but yeah it works similar to contrast medium, just a bit better for glazing.
What orange did you use on that clone commander? It really pops off the white and I wanted something like that for my homebrew space marines.
Stormtrooper in 24hrs challenge thanks. The blinding white light shall keep you awake!
Blinded by the white, revved up like a troop, painting minis in the night
I have an imperial army for legion and I had to paint sooooo many white armor troopers
How to paint your mini's white?
1. Select another color.
2. See rule 1.
3. Work with great colors around 'the zone' where you want white. Work with 2 thin layers of white + an icy blue (lightest blue you got). Then aply 3 layers of white. Still be disapointed in the white and question yourselve why, once more, you skipped steps 1. and 2.
Great video btw
Gregor and Boss came out great!
For the apothecaries in my flesh tearer, I use white prime with thinned pallid bone to wash it. It comes out pretty great
I'm doing white scars as my very first army. It has been a very fun kind of pain trying different methods of white. Favorite recently is zenithal with a white wash made from super thinned down apple barrel white and a bit of lamian medium. Works pretty well
Lamian medium is pretty expensive across a whole army, so you might want to give making some at home a try, bunch of tutorials here on youtube for it :)
@AshleyBlackwater I only use like 10 drops from a pipette. The diluting is mostly water. Makes a couple ounces total. Lasts quite a while actually
For my Sacred Rose Sisters, I essentially use the 2nd method. Although instead of nuln oil, I use gw apothecary white. Works greats and not as harsh as the black of nuln oil.
Boss and Scorch looking sharp 👍
It could be scorch but he’s missing all the grey on his armor rn I think he looks more like Gregor
Gregor wasn't In Delta Squad, from the Republic Commando Games, which Jay mention they are from. @@SlowPokey30K
@@peterosullivan2669 yeah I saw that at the end of the vid he definitely should add that grey in though
You are the Bob Ross or mini painting. Super welcoming and enjoyable to watch. Also yes please paint Stormtroopers that would be fun. Different squad markings would be cool.
Is that Boss and Scorch of Delta Squad? I never watched the TV show but the video game was 😁👌
It's Gregor a character you don't know. It's a little bit hard to tell from first glance of the mini, but scorch has grey accents to their armour even I didn't know who he was.(I've played the entire republic commando
I think I like the commandos the best overall but I like the dry brush tech if you are going for a grimy white since that texture adds a nice grit to it.
Dude I loved that white scar! Inspiration has been created by thou
I am new to your channel. I found it as I started into the mini-painting hobby just earlier this year. Seeing the many techniques you use has really helped me see the spectrum and limitless possibilities in the world of mini-painting. I confess, I have never played WH40K; I know what it is, but only through people mentioning it here or there (like Henry Cavill in interviews), but have picked up a bunch anyway to practice paining. Likely I won't play since I don't know anyone who does, but since I played the heck out of Star Craft when I was younger, the Space Marine look was just too nostalgic to pass up. On that very long note, my first and primary love in the universe of stories is Star Wars. Can't get enough of it, love everything about it. I would LOVE to see you paint more Star Wars Legion stuff, especially Storm Troopers since they are so plain. I can see the use of various colors for legions of Clone Troopers, but I'm curious to see how you add your creative flair to Storm Troopers. Again, love the channel, keep it up!
This video dropped at the perfect time! Just as I started my Order of the Sacred Rose sisters.
Thanks for the tips! I will definitely put some into practice.
They all look good, but I like the Clones the best. The fresh cuts in the rocks of the General's base is REALLY good, I'll have to try that on something some time soon. The Marien's armor is just too blue.
And I would love to see the whole Stormtrooper set done, please!!! Want to see how you do a full army paint, especially in white.
Love your work on RC-1262 Scorch and RC-1138 Boss!
11 year old me loved this video for the Star Wars, 30 year old me loves it for the 40K and the Star Wars.
Clicked just for General Grevous in the thumbnail. Easily my favorite Star Wars Villain. May grab the Star Wars starter kit just to paint him and some Droids... And play Some Star Wars I guess
Now I don’t know you opinions on what the Ahsoka series but taking some of those Storm Troopers and converting into the Thrawn exile troopers would be a hazing and fun to play
Hey Eons, Keep up the great videos! you're one of the main people who helped me get into miniatures and I'm loving them! thank you so much for showing me something new that I really enjoy!
I just finished assembling a ton of Legion and Shatterpoint clone troopers. This video was the right video at the right time. Love it, thanks!
White is considered to be grey on the color spectrum, there’s a reason there’s no “white” horses only grey unless there is a specific reason to call it a white horse, so grey massively highlighted with white really helps.
Another method is white + Payne's grey oil wash (on the heavy side), removing the highest points while wet & whatever you want when dry
Just got SW legion starter box on black Friday sale so this is helpful as heck
this is gonna be so helpful for my clone wars armies
More Legion content, please. Bring on the Stormtrooper marathon! Nice looking Boss and Scorch minis, those Shatterpoint minis look awesome, and Grievous too.
I've literally been trying to find a white Tau painting guide for months, but this is even better!
Wow.. that White Scar looks amazing! I’d love to see a series where u show us how you would paint Blood Angels, Imperial Fists, Salamanders etc.. that would be so cool!!
Hey Adam hope you and your wife are holding up. I lost my auntie last week to cancer, so I know your pain. Thanks for the years of entertainment ❤
Of Course you should paint an obscene amount of stormtroopers. I like the way the Clones turned out. Mostly because they were at least 95% as good as the other models with 50% of the effort.
My favourite was the clones, because of its simplicity and good results. I will apply that technique for my Imperial Assault Storm Troopers. Thanks Jay!
Personally I do it entirely with my airbrush. Depending on the color of the base, I will mix either some cold blue, brown or tan in some ivory, spray over everything, mix more ivory to spray at about 45 degrees, pure ivory at about 10, then pure white completely up top. I paint the undersuit and details with black templar contrast afterwards.
That's a lot of stormtroopers. Frankly a silly amount. Fantastic
Adding these recipes to the list for the test minis I'm going to do after Christmas, the thinned Nuln Oil works surprisingly well. Invested in a solid airbrush too - not going to attempt a white army without one!
Just got a box of stuff I purchased off Amazon during the Black Friday sales. I bought Marvel Zombies Zombicide which looks awesome. And I also picked up some paints and hobby supplies that I’m going to review and use on my TH-cam channel that I’m just starting up. It will be a channel about budget hobby diy hints, tips and reviews, as well as tutorials and tabletop games. Got some really great deals. Got a dry brush set for only $15 AU. A Sable brush set for $25 AU. A set of 36 Hobby paints for $35 AU. A set of 36 paint pens for $25 AU. A set of 5 clippers for $15 AU. And finally a knockabout airbrush for $30 AU which was surprisingly very good. More features than most mid priced products. Can’t wait to start painting those Marvel Zombies miniatures.
I’ve started painting Stormtroopers with a makeup sponge, priming in gray then dabbing on lighter and lighter coats until I reach a pure white highlight. Works super quick and has great results.
I’m new to the hobby and have started a white scars army. I prime grey seer and zenithal white scar. I then use white scar layer paint to adjust brightness before gloss varnishing and pin washing with Tamiya Black panel liner. Tidy up any spillage and that’s how I do mine however I think they lack contrast.
I’d like to try the clone method on my marines new to as it seems to nail contrast whilst remaining white. I also want to get better at painting so will definitely do the typical layer and glazing on my hero characters. I’d like to see you do some of the storm troopers like the commandos to see what they look like as a large unit
For my marines, I prime w/white primer, base w/white paint in two thin coats on what I want white. Base everything else in grey and paint those sections. I go back to the white with w/2 more thin coats of a very subtle cream color mix. Correct spillage. Nuln oil wash/or very thin black paint to finish because I don’t have any varnishes for afterwards lol
I painted my first army white. I’ve learned so much in the years since. I want to go back and re-do it. The trick is to not actually use white except for the highest highlights
How many Stormtroopers do you need? Yes!
Funny, we played a Star Wars Roleplaying Game a few Years ago - and we found out, that the Armor of Stormtroopers is pretty Badass. Night Vision, Target Aid, could take a good hit from a Blaster - not like in the Movies. Two Stormtroopers gave our party a hell of a fight. :)
You should make this into a series. My 4 favorite ways to paint black, red, blue, orange.
Those protectrons look amazing. I hope to see you do more fallout miniatures in the future!
I can´t miss that stormtropper video...
I paint my Iron Hand's gun casings and captain/lieutenant helmets using your Fallout colouring scheme from Mechanicus Standard grey, Dawnstone, Administratum Grey and white over a black primer. Looks really good and grimdark.
Posts one video: "My Pile of shame is too big!"
Posts another video: "I bought 17 boxes of storm troopers!"
Love the videos, and seeing a fellow addict in action haha!
We need that video of you painting stormtroopers. Would be interesting if you took a normal squad of stormtroopers and turned them into shadowtroopers.
For my blood angels army, I primed everything in citadel rattle can leadbelcher, and then went blood angel red contrast over the armor, except for the Apothecary. He had to stand out, so his base coat is Apothecary White over leadbelcher. Wow, so simple and easy for white metal… then just carefully paint accents, boom done!
Loved the video, definitely do all your stormtroopers as a time challenge! Maybe it will inspire me to paint mine! (I’m currently distracted finally kit bashing my two boxes of indomitus space marines (finally) as Bringers Of Death Chaos Space Marines! A project I’ve been wanting to do since indomitus came out haha!
I'm glad I found this video! I'm about to start working on some white and black thousand sons
Gotta have 4 squads of stormtroopers to have a platoon! I also painted the stormtrooper captain and specialist minis to be my platoon leader/platoon sergeant.
Best white paint is mixing heavy body acrylic Titanium White with white ink. Makes perfect, incredible coverage.
I just painted my Apothecary Biologis and for him I based in back, but instead of drybrushing up through greys to white I sponged the paint on. It added a really nice subtle texture and left some good deep shadows for that grimdark look.
@11:17 YES!! HAA (Hobby Acquisition Amnesia) is a real thing! I once went digging through a reason bag of hobby stuff and found a second bottle of Snakebite Leather contrast paint I'd totally forgotten about. And then a third... And a third pair of snippers. And then two extra Kanren Hackers for Infinity. Sigh...
You bought an entire legion……on the far side of the forest moon of Endor. Thanks gents!! Fantastic as always!!!
I love this video, thank you so much! Painting in white primarily seems like it requires a unique approach and you showed us so many ways that seem very doable based on your excellent examples.
Now we need a white scar army.
I love the fallout protectrons and the way they just kinda club things with their arms
using a bottlecap brush moisturizer for fallout minis is meta
Army painters white triad from the airbrush paint line is amazing for white armor.
I play White Scars and it has taken me forever to get them looking nice. I've found that doing a light gray primer and then dry brush white over the top of that. I then do a black wash to shade the recesses of the model. I find that this mix shows that the armor is clearly white but shows off more detail on the models and gives them a bit of a battle worn look that I love
scorch and boss looking noice
Citadel Celestial Grey is my go to base for anything white.
i was just about to start painting my clone troopers and had no idea what to do. thank you
I use the last two methods you presented. nice video. Good luck with all them stormtroopers. I'm currently finishing my rebels army
Love the republic commando game style commandos. Scorch and the squad leader looking sharp (:
"Scorch, lite em up" "You got it Boss"
Painting white has been a real challenge for me, I have a pre-heresy Luna Wolves army and (with some helpful pointers from the guys via Patreon) I've found my formula.
Dark gray base, white zenithal, then a 4:1 speedpaint white and black to give the shadows some definition, then a drybrush of Pro Acryl's bright warm gray. I'm going for a very matte, desaturated look like they have on the covers of those first few Horus Heresy books. I've been leaning pretty heavily on black speedpaint for the shoulders and details.
Sergeant RC-1138 ‘Boss’ and then Gregor of the 212th Attack Battalion.
Seeing you paint those two makes me want to get into Shatterpoint and paint up some Republic Commandos, even though even if I found a person to play with I would always lose just like my Black Templars in 40k.
Perfect timing to see this as I just abandoned my Carcharadons army at the painting table for the night. I felt dejected about how bland they looked (Almost like the I'd just painted features on to the base sprue, not enough contrast from my armor highlights) I could adopt some of the technique from the White Scar and just not go quite as white. Feeling pumped to get back to the hobby table tomorrow and try it out.
Yes, I want to see you paint the stormtroopers. And my favorites are the clones commandos.
PAINT THEM TROOPERS.
No but for real i love the Clone Commandos
Boss and Scorch looking good.
I like the white as done on the Clone Troopers best.
oh man I needed this video, my legion stormtroopers have been sitting in my box of shame for too long, I'm keen to see what you'll do with yours
Yes to the stormies! More legion content please ❤
Love the transition at the beginning it's like you sat down into the video
I'm probably gonna use a technique somewhat similar to the 3 method as I want to paint up some white armor in an easy and somewhat quick without needing to use contrast paints, mainly gonna use a combination of stippling and drybrushing
That sponge in a bottle cap, I love to see it
This video is awesome! I'm a massive delta squad fan, thank you for repping Boss and Gregor for those of us too poor to get into another star wars minis game!
Christ bless you, that White Scar is way too cool
Awesome Boss and I assume Captain Gregor but without all his tally marks. I’m trying to keep myself from buying any legions cuz as a die hard Star Wars fan I’d end up buying every model for every faction and I do NOT have the financial freedom for that lol, but those commando paint jobs are really pushing me towards it
Edit: I realize the yellow Commando is supposed to be Scorch now, but he’s missing all his grey which just makes him look like tally-less Gregor.
Also should definitely do the stormtrooper video
90% sure you were right the first time, a simplified Gregor (No camo, no tallies) seems much more likely than a very scuffed Scorch (no grey, wrong placement of yellow).
Also, yeah... Star Wars: Legion can be a slippery slope, take it from someone who has painted over 90 Clone Troopers... since July...
But thankfully the Commandos seen in the video are from Shatterpoint which is more character focused, has a much smaller range of minis, and fewer factions, so if you lack self-control (as I clearly do), you won't 'entirely' bankrupt yourself...
@@callumwright7459 he said he wanted them to make 2 more commando models so he could complete delta squad so he did intend it to be scorch
5:27 Boss and Gregor, 2 of the coolest fellas.
I love watching the SW legion content. I still love the Gungan army you showcased a while back! Would love to see an absurd amount of Stormies.
Hey @EonsOfBattle! Loving the Star Wars painting content! My vote is yes stormtrooper painting Legion or Shatterpoint!
Love the paintjobs for Boss and Gregor
Eyy it's Boss and Gregor! Can't really fault you for not painting his camo but it would be fun to see you try ;)
Bring on the Jay legion of Troopers!!!!
Let's go Stormtrooper marathon !!!!
Boss and Scorch are looking good
Boss and Scorch, of course!
“Plasteel”
I’m dying lol
Boss and Scorch are 2 of my faves
Great video! Love it!! Yes, paint the storm troopers that will a greater video, thanks
I know someone probably already stated their names but boss and scorch were 2 members of the commando unit you play as in the game, boss being.. self explanatory, but scorch is by far my favorite as he embodied the young boy that every clone was at the beginning
The big twist reveal at the end where it turned out you were using Army Painter white the whole time.
Heck yeah, go paint those stormies!
what a great youtube channel.
The white scar doesnt do it for me. You are an incredible painter for sure and the video is great. But if you were to just add yellow in place of red this would be a space wolf. You are right, i love white scars but white is just too hard to get right on them.
The Commandos are Boss and Gregor.
They're also probably my most favored out of all of the Clone Commandos.
Your Boss and Gregor look so cool!
Boss and Gregor look great!!!
Another great way is grey seer prime, then zenithal white spray (optional), then 2 thin washes with a 4:1 mixture of contrast medium and apothocary white :) looks fucking prime!
