“I’d rather educate the next slayer sword winner, than do stuff that keeps people around.” And that is EXACTLY the reason I keep coming back to your channel.
good chance thats just a crutch you have mentally developed to avoid something you cant handle like batch painting if you can identify that block, you can find a better way around it and get finished armies then start new ones , which feels so much better for me it was batch painting, i switched to doing 1-3 models at a time during painting, the leaps in progress kept me inspired as each session always saw at least 1 model finished
nice how you show of what army painting probably actually looks like for most people. A long learning process with probably a lot of experiments, improvements and oddities along the way. and most of all; varying sources of minis
Well done Scott. Awesome work. Completing any project is never trivial. 10 man warband for a skirmish game, 200 model fantasy army or a single mini entry for a painting competition; all are achievements to be rightly proud of.
Great work! I have a wall of potential/shame that I am hoping to get cracking on. I have always struggled with the perfectionist in me for how many of the details truly need to be painted. I won't say that that watching you on twitch has solved that for me, but it has helped. I really appreciate all that you contribute to this hobby, thank you!
Awesome! I have the same proxy planned and the models are awesome, but same as you I'm struggling with the supports and print fails. I'll be probably painting the a little bit darker but this really motivated me to finish it!
Congrats on finishing your army! I've been collecting Seraphon for 6 years now and have around 4k painted. Picked up another 1.5k recently and got to paint that. Let's goooo
Finishing an army is a huge accomplishment and puts you into a new category: someone who has finished an army. The reason so many people haven't finished their armies is because to many it feels out of reach, they've never done it so they don't believe that they can. They've been working on their army soo long it feels like an impossible task and the thought of finishing a second army is a fever dream. I expect now that you are someone who has finished an army you will find your ability to focus on a single project until it is complete improves. You know you can do it. I hope your video inspires other people to finish their own armies.
I’ve been watching the channel for about four years now and I’m glad I could be around to see you get there. I even put my brush down to rewatch you paint that base rim. Cheers.
Great job, bro. Army painting is its own classification of skill and the gratifying sense of completion is truly addictive especially for those of us who are more gaming centric of the hobby to rock an event with a newly finished army for a competitive season or two...or just even to tilt friends at the gaming table.
This made me genuinely happy for you Scott! Good job. I remember when i painted my first army ( death guard ) and all those things that you said about knowing how much ballsack to put into each mini when army painting is ringing very true. One should not underestimate how good a decently painted number of models next to each other look.
Painting a full army to a universally high quality standard really is a major accomplishment. There is nothing trivial about the dedication and effort it takes to pull this off. Congrats! 🎉
Great work, Scott. It’s great to achieve that hobby dream. And I think it’s even cooler to set an example that it’s never too late to unlock an achievement. Too many folks are stuck with half done projects and feel like it’s a missed opportunity instead of realizing they just needed to paint vampires instead.
Congrats, Scott. What an awesome accomplishment with a beautiful looking army. Last year, I experienced the same thing when I completed a 2k Sylvaneth army. It almost felt like joining an exclusive club.
Congratulations on the achievement. I painted 4 army's and my dark angel arm is always growing I learnt alot for TH-camrs such as you and John and one the main things I taken away was the fact of the minis are on a table 4-5 ft away not a few inches from my face so this allows me to be a little sloppy but when the arms on the table boy do they look good. So well done. Ps love the fact you still have the Pokémon water pot it's a throw back to your early days
Enjoyed this video, how you feel resonates and watching your project over the years echoes so much of my own armies. Do more like this, they’re my favourite :)
Scott, not only is your content consistently great, but the composition and editing just continues to rock and your videos are continually fantastic! thanks so much!!!
Congrats! Seeing your slow progress on this army over the last couple years as been inspiring. Truly an amazing result too! I need to finish my first army this year... it's been about 20 years in the hobby for me too and I have yet to do it.
Been painting (badly) for over 25 years, and I can say congratulations. I think this is always a good milestone in any painting hobby goals. Great vid! Thanks.
You know, fair play man. Watching those final few minutes of the video with your whole army together looked absolutely brilliant. I can only imagine how good it must of felt seeing it all come together and I like to think you had a big old grin on whilst placing all your models together for the first time. As someone who also struggles to finish big projects like this I hope you enjoy your finished army and well done!
Your army is amazing! I especially love the different, detailed banners and I imagine they come together from different legions and dynasties to fight a mutual enemy. This video makes me want to expand my little sbg warcry warband to a full aos army.
Congratulations on completing the full army paint job! Excellent work, wonderful overall scheme and technique. It's inspiring and makes me want to get my own vampires going. But also inspires me to complete my other armies at the same time haha. Thank you for all of your work and content. Sincerely appreciate it. Have a good one!
WOOH!! So happy for you dude! I haven’t personally reached this milestone yet but I’m hoping to one day!! Amazing work though, you’re such an inspiration!!
I took in that I’ve been playing 40K for about 5 years…with about 4 armies done fully painted and at least 1-2 centrepiece models in the army. Looking at each of these armies and minis is like a showcase for everything I’ve done, and learned in the hobby. Never appreciated how much effort went into these and I’m glad I was able to do these
Been watching your content since your very first videos, your slightly awkward priming and basecoating episodes etc - and as someone that's followed you those 7 years, I am so happy for you, to see you realise this goal! 🥰Cannot congratulate you enough, I can only hope to follow suit! 😊
Congratulations man. Been following your work for years now and it’s so great to see you reach a personal hobby goal that’s so meaningful for you. The army looks gorgeous. Those reds be popppppinnnnnn! Juicy AF
Great job and a lot of props for finishing that army , Scott. You got me inspired to start my own Soulblight gravelords Army and leeching some of that big boy finished army energy. I hope I can keep going strong. I know the feeling of having a finished army, as I had some WHFB armies myself. I can't wait for the recap of the "Northern Conquerors" and hope there will be a season 2. That stuff keeps me entertained while I bingewatch it on the backlog channel during painting sessions
Congratulations! Some people seem to find panting an army easy, but I’ve struggled. I appreciate your honesty in this regard. It looks fantastic and I feel more motivated to continue mine.
Im happy for you to finally have your own painted army! I have Death Guard, Necron, Blood Angels and Sons of Behemat fully painted but this was a long process with 30min hear or there between work, sleep and spending time with my wife. Its not an easy process but iv found my way and it works for me. I need to catch up on your vods!
Congrats on the fully painted army, I've done this hobby for like 15 years or something, I still haven't had a fully painted one either, maybe focus a lot on few, then barely sprayed others (and not based half of 'em). This looks great!
This has inspired me not only to start back up on focusing on my AoS ork army and finally finish it (especially if I'm getting the new 'ardboyz), and also clean up my painting station. Honestly a great video with some great techniques. Going to take the advice from this video and Jon's SMASH CHOP technique to finally finish an army!
One of your best vidéos in a while! I love how you turn a story into a painting session, plus your detailed narration of how you progress just flows all along! Good job Scott!
Congratulations amazingly painted army! Think you've raised the bar and damn it looks so impressive. Could hear the joy in the video when you said 'completed'.
Enjoyed this video alot man - as someone who has several painted armies and many friends who have none, it is definitely a skill to be able to see through a project to completion, even if it waxes and wanes throughout the year(s)
Congrats on keeping at it and reaching the goal. They look Rad! I look forward to seeing to you churn out armies at a Vince Venturella pace any day now...
This is such a awesome accomplishment, each unit is different but together they all look amazing, its a feat to make a cohesive army out of old, new, official, kitbashed and printed models and make it look this good
12:45 Frosting can occur when the differences between finishes is too big (e.g. going from gloss to matt). The Kimera TH-cam channel has a great video on the subject. Small but great channel btw.
Awesome achievement, dude! Lovely work on the squad of infantry, too - great way to finish it off. With oil washes, I find that using a bit of white spirit on a brush can be a nice way of cleaning up which leaves the layers of acrylic paint pretty safe, and can be a bit more precise than using a q-tip
Crazy how we are all so different. 2 years and 4 fully painted armies. However I get the disctractijns that happen.😊 Your army looks amazing. I hope to see it played soon
Another fantastic Vid Scott. Your presentation is so professional, informative and packed full of little helpful tips, Keep up the good work. We your loyal fans salute you.
I can feel this my self on both sides of getting a army finished and still having one that needs to be finished. And this isn't just 40k but multiple other games as well.
Congrats Scott! This has been a huge project for you and I've enjoyed coming along for the ride. What an achievement! You should be very proud of all the time and effort that's gone into it! It's not bad looking either ;) Looking forward to seeing what you pick up next! Love ya buddy
Some ready out of the bottle Payne's Greys are a blend of PBk7 and PB29. A great alternative is mixing one yourself using a Burnt Umber instead of a black.
For flatter panels that have been oil washed, I like to use a flat brush to feather out the paint and create a smooth transition. You're not limited to cotton buds, you can use your brushes too for more precision.
Fantastic accomplishment!!! It's been a hell of a journey watching all this with you, and I hope the sense of achievement you have gives you the warm fuzzies! =D Cheers from Melbourne Australia
I have to say, your video production is also something to be proud of. Very very well produced content. I used to be a pro stunt man and I work for a digital marketing company now so just had to point that out since that’s what I picked up on.
Awesome result! Congratulation! I really love your idea of the different blue stripes for the ranking. This makes it more interesting to have a more detailed look at each of them.
The first time I put a fully painted army on the table was such a great feeling. I am very excited for you to get to enjoy that feeling as well. You should definitely take those bad boys to a tournament and scoop up that best painted award!
Well done Scott! It may seem trivial to some but anyone who’s ever invested this much of their time, effort and some of themselves into such a process will get what an accomplishment it really is. Awesome looking army, truly stunning 🤘
Awesome job! Nothing better than fielding a fully painted army, and this one is as good as they get. Imagine getting steamrolled by these sexy badasses😮
GW calling the Pinkertons after hearing one of the premier mini painters on TH-cam included proxy units in their army. Army looks great by the way, proud of you!
“I’d rather educate the next slayer sword winner, than do stuff that keeps people around.” And that is EXACTLY the reason I keep coming back to your channel.
Man as someone who just finished a 2000 point deathwatch army I get this feeling.
Still chasing this goal, can't stop myself starting new armies!
too true
good chance thats just a crutch you have mentally developed to avoid something you cant handle like batch painting
if you can identify that block, you can find a better way around it and get finished armies then start new ones , which feels so much better
for me it was batch painting, i switched to doing 1-3 models at a time during painting, the leaps in progress kept me inspired as each session always saw at least 1 model finished
nice how you show of what army painting probably actually looks like for most people. A long learning process with probably a lot of experiments, improvements and oddities along the way. and most of all; varying sources of minis
You worked so hard on these. It's very cool to see you finally finished!
Well done Scott. Awesome work. Completing any project is never trivial. 10 man warband for a skirmish game, 200 model fantasy army or a single mini entry for a painting competition; all are achievements to be rightly proud of.
Your “educate first” and “content creator second” philosophy IS what keeps people around and we love you for it bro.
Congratulations Scott! What a beautiful army. You should be very proud, its absolutely gorgeous!
Great work! I have a wall of potential/shame that I am hoping to get cracking on. I have always struggled with the perfectionist in me for how many of the details truly need to be painted. I won't say that that watching you on twitch has solved that for me, but it has helped.
I really appreciate all that you contribute to this hobby, thank you!
Awesome! I have the same proxy planned and the models are awesome, but same as you I'm struggling with the supports and print fails. I'll be probably painting the a little bit darker but this really motivated me to finish it!
Congratulations man! Don't let anyone ever say it's a trivial accomplishment. It's a spectacular army.
Congrats on finishing your army! I've been collecting Seraphon for 6 years now and have around 4k painted. Picked up another 1.5k recently and got to paint that. Let's goooo

Congratulations, they look beautiful! Also, vampires are the best- you love to see it.
Absolutely great. They really look fantastic together on the table. Thanks for sharing.

That's a great reminder
Congrats, Scott. What an awesome accomplishment with a beautiful looking army.
Last year, I experienced the same thing when I completed a 2k Sylvaneth army. It almost felt like joining an exclusive club.
The army looks amazing and as always I appreciate your insights on the process and the view into your world. Keep on being magnificent. 🎉
Congrats! You have completed your army - today, you are a man... :)
Congratulations on the achievement. I painted 4 army's and my dark angel arm is always growing I learnt alot for TH-camrs such as you and John and one the main things I taken away was the fact of the minis are on a table 4-5 ft away not a few inches from my face so this allows me to be a little sloppy but when the arms on the table boy do they look good. So well done. Ps love the fact you still have the Pokémon water pot it's a throw back to your early days
Finishing an army is an amazing feeling. Congrats on a huge milestone!!!
Looks amazing. Congrats mate. And to be able to look down at the tabletop every game and see everything complete is incredible.
Nice :) always a good feeling to finish something
And cool to see my old vc bits i send you have been used! And have a cool spot in the project 🥰
Phenomenal work. Thanks for letting us be a part of the journey, bro.
Enjoyed this video, how you feel resonates and watching your project over the years echoes so much of my own armies. Do more like this, they’re my favourite :)
Scott, not only is your content consistently great, but the composition and editing just continues to rock and your videos are continually fantastic! thanks so much!!!

Sweet montage at the end. You spent all that time painting it, it was nice to spend a good chunk of time admiring it.

Congratz Scott. It is no small feet to paint so many figures
This video is exactly the type of content i like too see most from you btw ❤
Congratulations man. Been following your work for years now and it’s so great to see you reach a personal hobby goal that’s so meaningful for you. The army looks gorgeous.
Those reds be popppppinnnnnn! Juicy AF
Congrats on finishing your fully painted army. They look absolutely stunning

Gorgeous! I've painted a ton of models for my sbg army, but still use the occasional grey units to play. You've inspired me to step it up!
This has inspired me not only to start back up on focusing on my AoS ork army and finally finish it (especially if I'm getting the new 'ardboyz), and also clean up my painting station. Honestly a great video with some great techniques. Going to take the advice from this video and Jon's SMASH CHOP technique to finally finish an army!
Congratulations! You must be well pleased with this accomplishment. Enjoy using them on the table.
Look cool man. Congrats with completing you first fully painted army😊
Been excited to this finished. Whole thing looks amazing Scott, well done! Great vid as always.
One of your best vidéos in a while! I love how you turn a story into a painting session, plus your detailed narration of how you progress just flows all along! Good job Scott!
This is a masterclass on red armor. Great choice on the models and color scheme, Scott! Never stop doing what your doing.
Congratulations amazingly painted army! Think you've raised the bar and damn it looks so impressive. Could hear the joy in the video when you said 'completed'.
Freaking amazing ! There is no better feel to have a project completed! 🎉🎉🎉 Great Job papa!
Enjoyed this video alot man - as someone who has several painted armies and many friends who have none, it is definitely a skill to be able to see through a project to completion, even if it waxes and wanes throughout the year(s)
Congrats on keeping at it and reaching the goal. They look Rad! I look forward to seeing to you churn out armies at a Vince Venturella pace any day now...
Man, this video is so inspiring. Thanks for sharing this whole project with us, and great job on the army, it looks super good!
Congrats Scott!, Its shocking to see how many of these models I've seen you paint over the years in one off videos. Freakin amazing
Congrats on finishing! It's always a great feeling to have an army done.
Now all you need to do is paint some more units to expand your options! :)
This is such a awesome accomplishment, each unit is different but together they all look amazing, its a feat to make a cohesive army out of old, new, official, kitbashed and printed models and make it look this good
He's finally done it, he's painted more minis!
Huge achievement. Well done Scott! That red is banging.
This was nothing short of great, Scott. Something like this could never be trivial, well done.
12:45 Frosting can occur when the differences between finishes is too big (e.g. going from gloss to matt). The Kimera TH-cam channel has a great video on the subject. Small but great channel btw.
I'll check it out!
It's a great feeling! I just recently finished a Thousand Sons army up. It was glorious!
Awesome achievement, dude! Lovely work on the squad of infantry, too - great way to finish it off.
With oil washes, I find that using a bit of white spirit on a brush can be a nice way of cleaning up which leaves the layers of acrylic paint pretty safe, and can be a bit more precise than using a q-tip
Congrats! It's great to see people achieve a goal they've previously struggled to achieve.
Crazy how we are all so different. 2 years and 4 fully painted armies. However I get the disctractijns that happen.😊 Your army looks amazing. I hope to see it played soon
Another fantastic Vid Scott. Your presentation is so professional, informative and packed full of little helpful tips, Keep up the good work. We your loyal fans salute you.
Love it. Your Grave Guard fit really well with your other models too.
I really enjoy watching the progress over an army! Keep doing what you do! You always give me a good laugh and good tips! 😁🤘
I can feel this my self on both sides of getting a army finished and still having one that needs to be finished. And this isn't just 40k but multiple other games as well.

Well done! Nothing trivial about finishing painting an army!!
Congrats on the full army! Know how great that first feeling is
Congrats! Seeing it all together is pretty amazing, considering the level of detail you put into these models and the painting process.
Congrats on having what few do. Well painted, and well earned.
Some ready out of the bottle Payne's Greys are a blend of PBk7 and PB29. A great alternative is mixing one yourself using a Burnt Umber instead of a black.
That might work better considering we're shading red!
@@Miniacindeed, it's a warmer version of Payne's Grey, so less contrast, but more harmony.
What an awesome army! Everyone has different goals in this hobby and how great that you could tick this challenge off for yourself.
For flatter panels that have been oil washed, I like to use a flat brush to feather out the paint and create a smooth transition. You're not limited to cotton buds, you can use your brushes too for more precision.
Fantastic accomplishment!!! It's been a hell of a journey watching all this with you, and I hope the sense of achievement you have gives you the warm fuzzies! =D Cheers from Melbourne Australia
I have to say, your video production is also something to be proud of. Very very well produced content. I used to be a pro stunt man and I work for a digital marketing company now so just had to point that out since that’s what I picked up on.
In my opinion this is the most satisfying part of the hobby. Such a great feeling!
Awesome result! Congratulation!
I really love your idea of the different blue stripes for the ranking. This makes it more interesting to have a more detailed look at each of them.
Wow Scott, you finally did it and it’s beautiful. Congratulations!
Feels good to achieve such a big goal! So happy to see many cool vamps)
Congratulations!!! as a commission painter, I always seem to paint the models of clients but don't ever really complete mine. They look amazing!!
I love seeing people paint death faction minis, always so cool and fun doing effects like blood, bone, ghost / flames, weathered materials, etc.
Ooh those vampires blend in so well, excellent job!
So awesome to see it come together. I remember being hyped when the OG blood knights video came out, now it's come full circle
The first time I put a fully painted army on the table was such a great feeling. I am very excited for you to get to enjoy that feeling as well. You should definitely take those bad boys to a tournament and scoop up that best painted award!

The army looks really good together!
Following your progress on this army throughout the years, I'm so happy for you 🎉 it looks sooo good
Absolutely amazing! Congrats on the achievement!
