"holding your breath while painting eyes" felt like a personal attack XD
I lost it when he was painting the eyes, that's exactly what I do lol, hold my breath, shake and scream.
"Cast your minds back to 1999-" Ah yes when I was 3!
Seriously though, great job and the whole eye lenses technique, that's honestly brilliant and I wonder why not many others talked about it as well.
There's always a first time you learn something! It's honestly only fairly recently that I'd figured out painting the eyes first, so with any luck thisis a hint that makes things easier for folks way faster than I got it!
My hands get shaky doing really small brush strokes, so I always try and do the eyes first- so much easier to cover my inevitable cock-ups that way!
"Krieg Brand Shovel Polish". That was great, how you slipped that in.
That dark metallic on the helmet and armour looks great!
It's a really great paint to have handy. Takes well to a shade and looks proper sinister!
Literally working on krieg this week and searched your channel for this exact paint scheme. Thank you! Cant wait to get off work now!
Ha! Talk about a lucky coincidence. :D
@@SonicSledgehammerStudio right! Great timing bud.
That primer on cardboard trick is priceless never thought of that thank you
It's just enough texture to help give you a real look at how your brush is going to interact with the miniature. Discovered that one quite by accident years back, and I wish I remembered to point it out more often!
Just in time to paint my kreig. 😍
Im working on the paint for my Krieg Killteam, and while im doing a winter themed coat+pants, your video has given me some good insight on the order i should tackle parts!
So happy about kutami sponsoring you! Pascale is a real hero! I order almost exclusively from him here in Germany!
He's been a real champion. I've ordered a few large items through Kutami before and have always gotten great service, even once when an unfortunate glitch let me order something I really shouldn't have! 😂
Painting the eyes first, that's great! Thank you.
Great job!!! Can confirm the trousers look good in Mechanicus Standard Gray
I had a feeling I'd be right! 😂
I've been meaning to comment this for a while but when i was following your DAK tutorial i decided to try the agrax wash with contrast medium. I found it draws all the shade into the recesses like a contrast paint would whilst still shading the mini meaning there's no clean up to do to! Might only be useful for light colours and such but i think its a useful tool for the arsenal given your painting style.
Interesting! I've been using a fair bit of Lahmian Medium in shades recently, but it hadn't occurred to me to try Contrast Medium in there instead. Cheers for the tip! I'll definitely need to give that a shot.
if you don't have the metallic black. you can get a similar outcome with a base coat of leadbeltcher then black templar contrast paint over it
Perfect timing! I am getting ready to paint some Grognard look alikes, love your channel.
I've been waiting for this "very special" episode! Looks great, sir!
i just painted a bunch of these for kill team i really love them
i have some sample textured tiles i got from home depot that im going to use as a drybrush base
i did a contrast red on the eyes to make them look glassy
i only regret getting too over the top with shade so i ended up dry brushing most of the coat to get the color back.
I love the box art style and this is about the most accurate I’ve found, ty!
Lovely. Even though my first 5 are nearly ready for basing , I got a couple excellent ideas on detail to add to mine. Also I’m going to do the eyes/rim/mask in that order. Thanks for sharing-Love these.
This process is very helpful for me. The way you explain how to paint relates well to me. Thanks, I was struggling on a few areas. I was missing steps. I'm excited to give it another go. Appreciate ya.
You know, all these years, I had no idea that IG Codex was the Death Korps' first appearance!
A return of the primed box! :) Maybe I can get some of mine painted in a way inspired by this. :D Love the eye painting! :D
At 6:34 mark is how you know that you've painted a few miniatures lol. Excellent video!
woo hoo! another sweet tutorial! thank you :D
Once again Excellent paint job my friend.
My guys are arriving this week, I'm using a different colour scheme but your tips are so helpful regardless of colour.
Excellent work! I used the Drakenhof Nightshade on a Space Marine and it is one of the best shades I have used for blue. Thanks for sharing this.
It's great stuff, right? Someone suggested mixing shades with Contrast Medium instead and I'm going to give that a shot next time I'm painting something, that sounds interesting.
Great work here. Really liked the metallic air black paint for the armor pieces. This Krieg kill team are the first miniatures I’ve painted and I’m almost done.
nice job. so glad these are in plastic now
NO!!! I am about to leave for work then I see this NOOO!!! Il have to wait until my break :-(
Well, I think TH-cam will let me keep it up a little while. ;D
@@SonicSledgehammerStudio while this is true. I, I,I just dunno ha
Love the paint scheme I got the octarius set a couple days ago and I didn't have alot of the colours that are required. Thank you so much! I also tried a substitute for the Vallejo dark metal paint by mixing gun metal with a tiny bit of black mixed it looks great
Subbed. Just discovered your channel. Love your paint schemes. Respect from 🏴
Damn, didn't know you were an honorary German. Gut zu wissen :D.
Ach du lebst in Deutschland dachte ohne Witz immer du wohnst irgendwo in UK 😂 tolles Video 👍🏻
I'm painting the DKoK myself at the moment, great tutorial! Also: Kutami is a great shop, it's in the next bigger City near me and their support and prices are great.
Wasn't so long ago you told me to keep dreaming when I said I was hoping for plastic krieg, well what do ya know I'm living in the matrix and I can make it all happen XD, also bloody good job mate, gw's ones look way too cartoony, this one has a nice middle ground between the forge world ones and the over the top gw bright guys
Yeah, I didn't think it was likely - shows what I know! 😅 I'm more than happy to own that mistake, tho, since we get some pretty swish miniatures to prove me wrong!
Awesome job! Need to get me some of “tha business.” 😂 By that I mean Vallejo Model Air Metallic Black
It's good stuff, I promise! 🤣
Legendary
Have watched a couple handfuls of your videos, and I usually enjoy. However, this one particularly stood out for multiple useful tips that can be applied while keeping the technique quick and simple, thank you! Also, which paint did you use for the edge of the base, maybe Mournfang Brown? Cheers!
This one was Flat Brown from Vallejo, but it's a pretty much exact match for Mournfang Brown, yeah.
Love your videos man! Reallly excited to try this scheme for my new guard army! Any tips on this scheme for vehicles?
Thank you , Troy . (The German ) , :-) .
I think its sad GW and painters moved away from red guns
I've never been much a fan - it's a little garish on most figures, personally. But there's nothing stopping you from carrying on the grand tradition!
Sonic, thank you for another great video! You always provide interesting hints for new paints. You have surprised me with that uniform grey primer. Have not much experience with AP products. Is the grey tone really different to Mechanicus Standard? To which Citadel paint you wouldmatch the Uniform grey, please?
Uniform Grey is a fair bit lighter than Mechanicus Standard Grey as a primer. I do quite like the latter, but Uniform Grey gives easier results for most mid-to-light colours going over the top. A similar colour in the Citadel range would be Dawnstone, though that's only the closest approximation; I think Dawnstone is just a fraction darker still than Uniform Grey, but it's close enough it wouldn't really matter once it's shaded and on the table.
I'd love to see you use Thondia Brown for a leather, I always want to get a better sense of new paints
If it helps, I did use it on the Kruleboy in an earlier video if you need a comparison. It'll show up again at some point, I'm sure!
awesome tutorial! are you gonna do one for the ork kommandos as well?
That's the plan! :D
I have a question about the agrax earth shade because I'm wondering if I put it over the demolition veterans skull mask and also will one pot of for example the fang be enough to paint all of the death korps models? Also the agrax earth shade really works well on giving the models a battle look.
If I was going to go for an army green, or brown green for the coat, what do you think would be best? I'm bad at understanding how bases will end up after all the layers, shades and other touches.
Awesome scheme! :-) Do you know a vallejo equivalent for The Fang?
Luftwaffe Uniform is pretty close, I think. Otherwise it might be worth checking a comparison chart for more suggestions.
Here in Germany? Oo You live in Germany too? 😍
I'm a Kiwi, but yeah, living in Germany now!
@@SonicSledgehammerStudio Troy is, as we call it in Germany, Ehrenmann!
Basst scho. Ich bin schon eingebayert. ;D
In Bayern? Dann mal ein Guuuude aus Hessen :P Deine Videos sind immer eine große Hilfe! Ein riesen großes Dankeschön dafür 🥰
Hey man, I had a slight bump while following your tutorial. I can’t seem to get my The Fang to look dark like yours, any advice?
Questions:
Which vallejo paints were the Flat Black and German Greys?
Was it the 'Model Colour: Matt Black' or 'Game Colour: Black'?
And was it the 'Model Air: German Grey' or the 'Model Colour: German Grey'?
Unless explicitly mentioned, the Vallejo colours are all from the Model Color range. So Model Color Black and Model Color German Grey.
@@SonicSledgehammerStudio Ah okay, cheers man
I would paint the coat Fieldgrey & the helmet Dunkelgrau or would that be too on the nose?
Sonic, thank you very much for this great tutorial! What is the main difference between VMC German Grey you have used herewto VMC Black grey you used often before? Does German grey suit better to painting black? I always learn a lot about new paints in your videos!
German Grey has a very slight touch of blue/green to it, and - at least to my eyes - is a fraction darker than Black Grey. I use German Grey for 'black,' but Black Grey works well for anything which you want to look more like fabric or rubber.
@@SonicSledgehammerStudio I see! Thank you very much. I will buy German grey too.
how could some definition be given between the gun and the hands? (assuming one wants them both to be the same colour black)
Please tell the Kutami guys they would receive more orders from other parts of Europe if they had at least had shipping costs & "Warenkorb" in english so I dont have to guess the cost or harrass my german speaking friends so much.

1999?..., I was still young and innocent...
Do you use varnish on all model you paint
Pretty much! It's good practice to seal the miniature, and it usually brings in highlights and will get rid of any residual gloss from shading.
My, “The Fang” paint is like, really really dark… is that normal???
I have never heard charicatures pronounced that way before... good vid though!
Without knowing which bit in the video I mention it I can't really confirm, but it could be that characters and caricatures are different words. ;D
@@SonicSledgehammerStudio 0:15 you pronounced it kereka-churs which was just not a way Ive heard it pronounced before, it doesnt matter anyway I knew what you meant and thats the important thing!
Wait for a second... you are based in Germany?
Yup! I'm a Kiwi originally, though.
