Only personality gw has ever put into a landraider was one of the crimson fists landraider. It continued fighting even after it's crew were killed and only stopped when it's treads became too clogged up with greenskins to continue moving.
It was called Rynn’s Might. Even when the tracks were clogged, it opened its hatches, and a bunch of Orks wanting to loot it came in. It proceeded to detonate its reactor, killing every Ork within fifteen meters. The Crimson Fists actually managed to recover the Machine Spirit, and are currently looking for a vehicle worthy of it.
@@CAMSLAYER13 Only in specific cases where primitive AI is actually allowed, such as Landraiders, Cogitator Networks and Titans. Otherwise, it's less a euphemism and more an actual belief that any and all technology have an animistic spirit as part of an extension of the Machine God, known as "Motive Force". Said spirits literally need to be appeased through ritual and occasionally sacrifice, if the machine is expected to work. Everything from Voidships to Baneblades and Heavy Bolter to Boltpistols are believed to literally have a spirit. It's also the reason why Imperial denizens are forbidden from using Xenos tech. The Imperial view is that xenos techs aren't built or used with the Machine Spirits in mind and thus are heretical.
Ye I have 2 warmachine/hordes gargantuan/jalossi and they make this tank look tiny and I don't have an airbrush and ive been putting it off for yrs lol.
I think when you're a slow painter (like me), even a small mini takes a while to finish, and therefore you need to keep your motivation and focus up throghout. With vehicles and large minis that is multiplied by a factor of like 100...
Do it 10 times in a row, you might get faster or if you're really, what you call slow, you're making those details even more crispier, and you're truly never ready. Every stroke counts and God wont forgive you if go out lines. Experience is the best teacher. Making different styles might give you insight of what you like and what you don't. It's clear ya like smooth surfaces and clean details and struggling in free hand and going over lines. delicately in order, you must break your habits and learn new ones. GG GJ joy!❤
those stencils and that sponging/blending technique are both going to be godsends for my Necromundan Guard conversion project, especially the Tauroxes for it.
even without sponges, you can use a large crappy/sacrificial brush and stipple (stabbing motion) the paint over the large flat areas to get a relatively smooth finish versus just brushing normally, helping to match say, a rattlecan base coat. Source: touching up vehicles i sprayed red via said stippling
I’ve got a Taurox Prime, Leman Russ with Knight Commander Pask, and a Chimera, all tricked out with all the extras, no airbrush. It’s not needed, just makes it faster.
I was very much the same (finding painting vehicles a chore), but then I started to actively eliminate painting steps and techniques in all my painting and replace it with something else that's more clever, quicker and more fun than basecoating, washing and layering. One thing that really helped me and actually made me LOVE painting vehicles was watching a LOT of scalemodeling videos here on YT. There are SO MANY techniques and products over there that are fun, easy to do, yield amazing and realistic results, and that can also very easily be incorporated into our wargaming painting niche. It even made me approach other minis apart from vehicles differently, and now I can much more focus on the fun of painting and also immensely speed up processes. That stippling technique was amazing, BTW. And those retro flames are BOSS! Awesome result, mate!
This is a really useful video! Thank you very much! I don’t have an airbrush, and one thing I am concerned about with them is keeping my area ventilated. Also those things can be pretty expensive, so finding this video helped me a lot!
I love painting vehicles and I don't like painting infantry, most probably because of the repetition. I have 31 vehicles all painted without an airbrush, including a few super-heavies.
Perfect timing. I just finished building the impulsor from that Vanguard Marine set, and this gives me some great ideas to try when I am ready to paint it.
I literally finished painting my first land raider crusader today and showed my buddy which promptly mentioned I should have made it black templars, then one youtube tab later saw this uploaded haha.
Lol all my stuff is done with a brush,gorkanaught,landraider,150 boyz,a chaos army and a spacewolf army. Its the only way To do it cause you get that sweet hand painted look. Multiple thin layers and by the time you get done with one coat the otherside of the model is dry so it goes quicker than you think
I airbrush everything I possibly can. The time savings, consistency and quality increase make it invaluable to me, someone who kinda sucks at paint brushes especially on large surfaces
@@sirrathersplendid4825 I do so the next paint sesh has no issues. Paint could get inside the airbrush that's why you clean it. Doesn't take more than 5 mins.
Am I the only sucker who heard him say "you don't need an airbrush to paint big models" and then looked at his entire knight house which were all hand painted XD.
i havent been into warhammer for over 10 years yet i can watch your videos easily, so happy this was recommended. That tank looks incredible. Might have to dig out the dark angels from the loft
Personally I find I love the look of the sponge stippling over the clean gradients of the airbrush on 40k Imperium vehicles... it makes them feel grittier and more grounded in the setting to me.
I feeeeel you Jay! I have painted a ridiculous amount of minis, but as few vehicles as I can lol. Bane of my painting career will always be a ghost ark, and a defiler. All without an airbrush!
When you said that you think about who the miniature is and what their motivations are and how long they will last in battle - this really resonated with me, as I do just this and I think what I was going to call "narrative painting" really drives me to create a better paint job, and it's easier to place dents and scratches by story rather than just randomly deciding. By contrast, however, I *love* painting vehicles and terrain. Story doesn't need to end at personal narrative - you can ask yourself the same questions, and in my opinion, there are more things you can ask yourself about vehicles and terrain. "Who uses this?" (soldiers? police?), "Who maintains this?" (specialist experts? advanced users? idiots?) "Where is this deployed?" (urban? marsh? volcano?) "What's wrong with this vehicle?" (caught a shell near the track and it keeps falling off. concrete is cracking as the inner steel reinforcement is rusting away) "What workarounds are people using to deal with the faults" (desire paths) "Who loves this, and how do they express it?" (the freehanding work like on the side of the enola gay). There's _so_ much you can think about for a simple vehicle - and you went absolutely whole hog for this tank. Anyway, great job on this tank. So many cool techniques and it was a joy to watch you work. I hope that you continue to enjoy building vehicles and working on that pile of *opportunity*!
Try watching some videos from armour modellers and checking their forums. They're big on adding weathering and details to add visual interest and tell a story. Plenty of these tanks and their crews have rich history behind them which the modellers really get into, trying bring to life. Perhaps this could provide the inspiration you need to get excited about 40K vehicles and create your own stories that excite you the same way infantry models do.
That's one thicc Land Raider. Man, I wish the Forge World Grey Knight Redeemer kit was an upgrade kit to the plastic one instead of a pricy resin full version. I'd hate to think how long it took to magnetize that model, but worth it I'm sure. Any video of that?
I don’t have an airbrush so I’ll just been slowly poking through my rukka truck with left over paints off my pallet it’s been a handy way of not wasting colours haha
Smal tip with stencils, start with the same color that is under the stencil. so in your case, a black gray if you do this, if you have a color leak, it will not show up :)
I have saved days of my life just recently because I realized I could use bigger brushes 😊 Edit: my output of painted minis has easily quadrupled at the same quality
I’ve painted all of my vehicles without an airbrush and got awesome results, so I’d say airbrushing is really not needed (it does take a lot of time though)
Dude!! Outstanding job! Probably my favorite paint job of yours so far (i’m Templar biased as well ) Truly great job I’m sure you’re proud and you should be… looking at it you can feel the commitment coming off this thing!
I still dont have an airbrush, and ive painted 3 tanks, a monolith and 2 aircraft. The sponge trick is so useful and those stencils look good, I will have to look into getting some of them.
reember the machine spirit, expesicially the on the black templars is vehicles is quite strong., on time a black templar land raider started moving by it self, his crew long lost, killed by eretics and psykers, only by hatread he felt, he atacked those enemy and finish the mission so the black templar vehicles are characters.
I’m so different. I love warhammer vehicles, so much so that I’m pretty sure I have more rhinos, predators, and vindicators then infantry squads and combat squads.
I think, even after 2 years, there are merits to both techniques. Airbrush and rattle cans allow for faster base coat and larger areas to be done faster and less time waiting for the first paint to dry or end up with brush strokes and dry/wet layer edges on the base coat. That is if you have a quick drying paint you are using for base coating with paint brush. Also, you can do quick and dirty painting of vehicles you don't feel like decorating beyond base color and minor details. For brush painting the whole model, without rattle can base coat. Having self leveling paint that is thin enough to not fill in details, but thick enough for a single base coating is important. Then you can detail the heck out of the vehicle with smaller and smaller brushes. Finishing off with what probably amounts to diorama sorts of details for those who love the gritty looks of armies on the move. I hope that many painters will find the joys of creating some awesome vehicles.
Hey! I started 40k earlier this year and have absolutely loved painting vehicles, my friend gave me his massive spartan for me to paint for him and has some other huge tanks for me too paint for him soon :D
I'm greatly into model making myself (Not Warhammer, but Airfix/Revell etc kits) I painted large military aircraft and galleons with nothing but brushes and they came out fine. I feel airbrushing (though good for efficiency and coverage) is a lazy mans way of painting nothing beats giving your models a good hand job :)
"The mighty landraider fullfils many rolls and is absolutly modual...." As a Chaos Player this made me laugh and cry. All we got is the standard twin-linked lascanon Landraider, without any extras or modularity.
I'm so glad to see methods fir hand painting vehicles. I have used airbrush before with other models and at least in my experience, it was terrible. I would rather spend more time painting by hand then deal with janky and unreliable (again in my experience) airbrushes anyday.
Very nice! I'm painting my first vehicle which is also my first model and although it's only 70mm. I do feel the need for an airbrush as if you are not really good with a normal brush it shows. Like some areas of the paint is raised above the others as I was moving it to get a total coat. However, I can just paint over that another color to make camo. As for Primarus in land raiders yes no reason not too and I'd say the same for land raiders in Imperial Guard.
Nice work and I've been looking for non-airbrush tank help for a while now. I just never liked the end appearance of airbrushing. Now, I just need to paint.... 3 of these.... Only in white, I made the silly decision to invert the pallet for all my LRs. Yet to decide whether I apply that to the Mastodon and Fire Raptor yet. But first, the BGV and new Templars from the box lol
Totally picked up some stuff from the Home Hobby & Hyperspace page today with that Patreon discount code you sent us! Great christmas gifts for my buddies.
Awesome video, mate- and can I say just how fantastic the whole panel looked that you showed between 11:07-11:10? The entire tank came out great, but that part really stood out to me. I subbed to your channel a few months ago, and you’ve quickly become one of my favorite hobby/painting channels. Your content is really helpful, your stories are relatable, and I always end up smiling (if not laughing) at some point in your videos. It seems like you have almost as much fun making them as I do just watching them, and that’s important to me. Nobody wants to watch a person who seems like the whole thing is a chore. Thanks for all the work you put in, and I wish you tons of success! 👍🏻 PS- Thanks for the suggestion for those stencils- I’m going to their website later today to see what they have that I can use.
You bring up a great point about Primarus and transports Jay. My friends and I have have developed a work around for this GW stupidity. We ignore that rule. It's so much more fun.
They have ai in them and you can think about what battles they've been in ,what commanders they've had ,the damage caused by the environments they've been in and so on.

you can get a cheap airbrush and compresser for like 100 dollars WORTH IT

You should give the Artist Opus channel a look, Byron does some great vehicles by brush, stippling mostly.
Bohun is another painter to check out if you are a fan of that style.
I'm the exact opposite I love painting vehicles alot more room to mess with ideas
Nicely done, looks amazing
You bring up a great point about Primarus and transports Jay. My friends and I have have developed a work around for this GW stupidity. We ignore that rule. It's so much more fun.
Primaris marines have their own transports though.
I miss seeing land raiders
They have ai in them and you can think about what battles they've been in ,what commanders they've had ,the damage caused by the environments they've been in and so on.
