Thank you for this video, At 50 years young I bought my first ever "big" Minature (Krondy) and have built him and undercoated him over the past few days, now I have my list of paints and off to Warhammer store tomorrow. Let the painting begin :D
Wow just wow. You tackle some amazing and daunting models and still manage to make it look easy. Thank you again.
Thank you so much John and I'm glad you're enjoying them!
Dude you've smashed it once again!! I can't wait to buy this model in the new year and use this helpful tutorial!
Thank you so much Ged! It's an absolute treat to paint so I'm sure you'll have a grand old time of it.
Such a good sculpt, fantastic tutorial thank you for your time making it ❤
Yes I love videos like this man. Now I know how to properly get the techniques down for my own dragon army color!
Thanks a bunch man!!!
You're very welcome Richard and thank you! If you're doing a full dragon army you'll be pleased to know I'll have a video on the Stormdrake Guard coming very soon.
I've been waiting for it. Great job!
Thank you very much!
another great video! Best contrast videos in TH-cam!
Best community in all of TH-cam! The Warhipster Community!
Great video Warhipster, and Krondys looks absolutely awesome. I've been hesitating about getting one of these because I don't have a Stormcast army, but you've just convinced me to go for it 😁
Thanks you Dave and that's high praise indeed if it's convinced you to get one even if you don't collect the army!
Dropping by for support and for another entry to the contest! By far the best contrast painter on TH-cam!
Thank you!
Look amazing and I love dragon too! We need more of them
Thank you very much and I couldn't agree more, we need more dragons!
Great video! I just got an airbrush but this looks like a great pure hand brush technique. Great colours too.
Thank you very much Tom! I've never used an airbrush myself, I'm too big a fan of the old hairy stick approeach.
Just started Warhammer a few weeks ago and picked this one up Last Friday. If mine looks half as nice as yours i‘ll be so damn happy!
Absolutely epic!
The models truly are epic in every way imaginable!
Your paintwork made it look better than on the boxart. He doesn't look like the "Pixar Dragon" anymore. Nice!
Thank you so much Kerath, I'm very pleased with how it's turned out.
Amazing!
You know, looking at the new Koxigor Scales paint, I feel like it might be a reasonable substitute for the initial super thin layers of turquoise. I might give it a shot.
Can you do a video on painting the praetors? I’m following this scheme for my stormcast and haven’t quite figured out how to replicate the hammers of sigmar scheme on the praetors with all of their extra cloth and ropes!
Wonderful!
Thank you!
Honestly love these videos and your use of contrast paint, helped me through a lot of the dominion box set and stuff like Gobsprakk, but how much contrast medium do you go through in a project?! Now I just need to figure out how I can carry this scheme through to my Dracothian Guard.
I was hoping that dragon would be bigger, was thinking of using that kit to make a stardrake so as to not have to deal with that abysmal flying brontosaurus-looking one.
He's a pretty hefty lad all the same! I've seen one or two conversions with riders on these models so I reckon you'd be more than able to do that conversion.
this one is a masterpiece
Thank you so much!
Thanks
That's incredibly kind of you, thank you!
I'm struggling to start a coven throne. Great work/content. 👍
Thank you Neil! What are you finding to be the sticking point with the Coven Throne?
@@Warhipster weirdly I find that model really intimidating in comparison with others. I spend a long time searching the Web and picturing the colours I'd like to use. Every time I look at it I find something new in detail. I do suffer a little from wobble hand and poor eyes. I like making them look bright ish. 👍
¡Gracias!
You’re welcome! And thankyou!
Will be a video about Stormdrake Guard?
There will be one when the Stormdrake Guard arrive! I’m still waiting at the moment
Awesome!!! Are you planning on doing a video for karazai as well? I absolutely love how you painted karazai!
Thank you very much! I sure am and it’ll be available on Sunday evening.
Cant wait for sunday to see that karazai
@@Warhipster what happen to the Karazai video? I was watching then it went private.
It shall return in 15 minutes on general release!
@@Warhipster thanks! I was worried, best looking Karazai in my opinion. Can't wait to paint mine. Going to paint my stormdrake using the same color scheme to match
Hello Warhipster, first of all congratulations for your videos and for your work. I'm painting my army of Stormcast eternals watching your videos... I wanted to ask if you will make a video for how to paint Lord-Celestant on Stardrake... thanks
Hi, LOVE you work. You can Paint a iron warrior space marine?
My Terradon Turqouise comes out more green than blue, would you suggest substituting Athermatic Blue to get more of the blue tone?
Do you think Aethermatic Blue would have worked as a substitute for the initial, super-thinned Terradon Turquoise? It seems very similar in hue to what you ended up with.
It could work similarly, you’d like find it was more vibrant in the end.
I thoroughly love all your videos. Really good painting guide. I've noticed you start from a grey seer base layer all over the mini first. Any reason why you don't do a full base coat all over the miniature first and then going back?
Thank you so much EasyPeasy! I must confess, I'm not entirely sure how to answer your question here, especially as I primed Krondys with Wraithbone!
@@Warhipster I may have misworded my question. I know some tend to base coat the entire miniature with the primary color and then go back with different colors to different areas. Like for a Rubric marine I paint the entire model gold and go back for the details. Is there a reason on why you paint specific areas one color and then moving on to the next? Would it be due to the nature of contrast paint?
Ah I see! Yeah, partly that and partly I try not to create more work for myself where I can. Contrast paints can be a bit finicky with covering over one another due to their translucent nature so it pays to be neat with them.
I see you smoth down the color betwen bally and blue , did you use the water or the medium ?
Been watching some of your videos, you use a lot of contrast medium. What does that do exactly, do you blend it on the model or on a palette? TY in advance
It reduces the intensity of colour bud, best mixed on a palate 👌
Wow nice work, i am tring to learn how to paint with contrast and i was wondering what does the numbers 2:1, 8:1, 2:2:1 mean ?
It means the ratio of mixing. X parts of first paint and X parts of second paint and so on.
Can you do something similar but with a airbrush? Iv heard good things about airbrushing contest
You certainly could! It might take a few extra layers and careful application but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work!
Hello warhipster. Awesome job how would you do it when you paint it red instead of blue. I want to build the same model but make him look like smaug from the hobbit and use it with my dwarves (cities of sigmar army)
Thank you very much! That's a tough question without doing it myself, though I'd recommend checking out the Karazai video to get an idea for a reddish-brown colour: th-cam.com/video/9V_sPbrPH10/w-d-xo.html You'd probably want to get to the same stage in that video of the 6:1 Contrast Medium:Cygor Brown mix and then instead of that start adding in some Flesh Tearers Red or Blood Angels Red depending on the tone you want to go for.
These videos make me believe i can actually paint mine!
Say I want to follow the same technique, but with purple as the main color instead of blue can you recommend some paint substitutions?
I figured so far
Terradon Turquoise = Magos Purple
Leviodon blue = Shyish Purple
I am not sure what to sub for ultramarines blue in this case though. I am new to using contrast paints. If you wouldn't mind suggesting highlight colors too i would be very greatful! Thanks
There’s also mixing don’t forget! Something I’ve experimented with in a couple of videos such as mixing Volupus Pink and Talassar Blue or Apothecary White and Magos Purple to get some different purple tones. I’ve actually done a fair bit of this in the video I did on the Keeper of Secrets. If you haven’t already, check that one out to get some inspiration!
@@Warhipster thanks my guy!! Ill check it out!
Hey Warhipster, i´m looking your videos for a few weeks now and I really like them. Great attitude and feeling for the miniatures in my opinion. But i can´t find a video showing the "basics", because I´m very new in painting and also interested in equippment that´s helpful for painting. Could you help me out in this point ?
Greetings Spacie
Hey Spacie and welcome!
I’ve not done any videos on equipment and the like for beginners, though it’s certainly something I’ve thought about! I have done a couple of videos on how to use Contrast paints though, which you may find helpful if they’re the sort of thing you want to use on your hobby journey. The first is this one, wherein we talk about how to use Contrast on your brush: th-cam.com/video/jwIhHQNFRc0/w-d-xo.html and the second and slightly longer one is this video, where I paint a tank and talk about how to get Contrast paint to do what you want a bit more: th-cam.com/video/SmUpJmgOtPY/w-d-xo.html
Hopefully you find these useful!
@@Warhipster much thanks for the advice, the videos are great for me also thanks for that :)
Awesome, I’m glad to have helped! 😀
Around 42:05 camera loses focus :(
That swine! It’s like I’m not paying it or something.
Will there be Karazai the Scarred?🙏
There will! This Sunday coming at 19:30
@@Warhipster thank you 🙇
Buzzing for this
Those open pots are giving me anxiety 😂
Haha! I finally knocked one over whilst filming the Karazai video, but it took me a while!
@@Warhipster ha yeah seen that too now, it’s ok I shook some agrax Boxing Day lid wasn’t on right just threw it everywhere.
Green- Stuff those gaps! WTF? That's no way to treat such a model, man. Heresy!
There's some strong delineation between the muscles but I can't say I can see any gaps though I may be mistaken.
I swear they only showed the worst angles of the dragons’ faces in all the promotional material
Krondys is certainly a lot less smug looking in 'real' life!
Thanks
