- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 24 มิ.ย. 2024
- Creating schemes can be a massive roadblock to painting your army. You want to be unique and stand out but also not making an ugly scheme. In this video, I show you everything I might consider while developing your own scheme, actually do it, and then refine it for painting large quantities of miniatures.

This video is exactly what I needed to overcome my hobby burn out. I was feeling unmotivated and frustrated at my inability to pick a unique colour scheme for my army. I found I would just end up on Google images stealing someone else's paint scheme. Now I am finally able to identify what colours I like and am going to start on my Tyranids :) thanks!
Thats awesome
One trick - I bought some Orks in Rome - so I gave them the color of football team AS Rom :D
Easy fix for that. Don't go on Google 😜
Wearing shoes on the sofa is far worse then eating corpses after battle...
according to wives, it is
Scott is wearing slippers 😜
In (Nederland) or the Netherlands for you we called a sofa a bank.
Wearing shoes inside at all imo.
wearing shoes at home (when you are not living in a wilderness) is for most people, not normal too.. :)
Life Hack: When the girl says "you choose", just tell her, "OK, but you have to guess what I've chosen." when she guesses just agree, "Holy cow! That was it! Babe, you know me so well."
She chooses where to go. Done.
Trying this
You’re a God, are you writing a book? I’ll take 5
Why don't you ever want to choose?
@@katherines6322 women will give you the choice but if you choose wrong she might get in a mood. If you do this she will tell you where she wants to go without thinking she is making the decision.
@@MrRattlebones640 I don't think it's that complicated. There are definitely times where my bf doesn't want a certain type of food and he lets me know. It would frankly be weird if he never helped decide where to go. And if he picked a place I didn't like I wouldn't "get in a mood" I would just tell him I don't want to go there and we'd pick a new place. It's possible to compromise or disagree and still get along and have a good time, lol. If she gets in a mood simply bc you have preferences then she doesn't respect you, and you've got bigger problems.
me and the boys eating roasted corpses of the fallen enemies.
some nurgle guy shows up and thanks us for support since we are now infected with mad cows disease.
What race did they kill for dinner? We got Cow people armies?! O.o
@@toversnoleu8769 Apparently Tau ..
Also take care when it comes to RATIO of your colour choices. For example: when thinking about the WARMTH of colours: either going for 90% warm colours and 10% cold details for example or the other way around is gonna give you an awesome feel of contrast and attention to certain things. Easy example for this: painting a blood Raven space marine in a warm dark Red and then adding a few cold green or neon green visor, blaster or mashinery detail is really gonna make everything more interesting and set a better contrast then just putting a warm buttery green eyevisors onto an already bright red clown...to even further that offset one can play with the other techniques mentioned in this great video!
I remember coming across a 60/30/10 rule for character design. You pick three colours, one covers 60% of the character, the next 30%, and the last 10%. It's a rough template to play with, but it works well with your ratio. Like, a winter-gear soldier with white armour/overalls, some blue/grey areas, and then a yellow/orange visor. Makes the colours pop :D
@@jambamenome8481 you're correct with the style the poster speaks of but you gotta be cautious as schemes such as these can easily appear manufactured or "comic book" looking, which isn't bad in itself, just ...be aware of that. Remember, there is few right and wrong things a lot is opinion. Unless of course painting a paticular faction known for a specific color, like yellow for imperial fists
I've started carrying a notebook and pen with me, mostly so I can jot down random ideas for things as they come to me in the middle of the day otherwise I _know_ I'll forget them
Pen and notebook is nice to have at work, so your managers don't think you're texting someone on your phone. At least, that's what I've found.
Scott saying complementary color schemes can be gaudy and outrageous
Me: Laughs in Mardi Gras color for my Harlequins
he also said perfect for clowns, seems fitting for Harlequins
Those new chaos warriors are so awesome.
How did you make this comment three days ago, when the vid went live today?
yup, and look at the leader in the box . . . i think they watcched the movie Conan a bit too much, he look like Thulsa Doom.
CyberVic yupppp
The tool I use the most when testing paint schemes is actually Dawn of War, you get ( especially with mods) the ability to color just about most basic 40k models with the game's custom scheme maker.
When the wife says “you choose” its just a game of naming restaurants until you say the one she wants. But remember it was “your” choice not hers 😅
So she can blame you in case she doesn't like it in the end 🙄
There's a secret to this; you ask her to guess where you're taking her, then take her to her first answer. That's where she actually wants to go, it'll look like you thought of it, but really you're just making her make the decision without her knowing.
Bubbles genius
I’m just going to surprise her and lean into her desire for me to be “spontaneous”.
@@Blazin130 can be extremly dangerous if shes onto you!
Something I often do is look at sports team colors.
Seriously. Especially when you consider more recently created teams, color theory goes into their design choices. People are paid a significant amount of money to design the uniforms, etc. Trust they'll look good on your minis because they usually will.
Kirioth has a really cool emperor's children paint scheme, it's got a weird vapourwave aspect to it.
Vaporwave, you say? Check out Dana Howl's neon ghost army for AoS!
@@maxbrandt6 seen it, they are really good. Nighthaunt cloaks are really good for the "umbre"? effect vapourwave usually is associated with.
@@maxbrandt6 Hers is OTT, far too heavy on the colour to shading ratio
My favourite video yet. I've been painting minis off and on for 40 years and have always struggled finding a scheme that worked. I've used a colour wheel etc and while that helps, something never clicked. After watching this I'm thinking to myself, duh, how simple was that. Thanks for doing this.
My favorite place to pick color schemes from is nature, especially for things like lizardmen and tyranids. There's a ton of cool reptiles and bugs out there to get inspiration from. My skinks are all painted like real life blue tongued skinks and my nids' colors are based off blue lobsters.
When I choose my paint schemes, I also use that time to pick the theme and colors of my bases. My latest project was a 2K points Bonesplitterz army. I used bright blue and off white snowy/cracked ice bases to compliment the muted greens of my orcs. It really helped make the models pop and come to life.
You’ve always put out quality videos but this one felt like a huge step forward! I loved the additional shots of you reading, you and your wife, and the shower. It really added some nice breaks from the usual and made the pacing of the video feel really good! The 15 minutes flew by 🙌🏻👍
Thanks a lot of saying this.
Really liked this episode, I always have trouble picking out color schemes for my models so this was incredibly helpful. Thanks Scott!
One thing I have started to realise from watching a lot of videos about mini painting is that I work really slow and also that you guys that make these videos must put in a lot of time filming to just get these minis to look so good. I love watching your work and get inspired to get better from every single video!
It's really helpful to let your mini inform your choices. For me, it's the most fun part of mini painting. I paint a lot of fantasy and sci-fi display minis, and I love figuring out who the character is, what they're like and letting my paint scheme tell that story.
Absolutely brilliant guide. Not only useful with regards to the colour schemes, but also gave me some ideas about techniques (like shading over metallics to give them this nice purple and green colouring... ). The outro riffs were just a cherry on top of a cake dude !
But Scott, my skin gets really dry after the 3rd shower...
That's quitters talk, now get back in the shower and don't get out until you look like the crypt keeper.
@@100acatfishandwillbreakyou2 lmao
3rd shower? Ha
I've taken so many showers I've lost count and my skin is like a Tomb King's shriveled balls
100% a catfish and will break your heart LOL
Digging the scheme you chose...purple makes everything better 👍. Oh, and definitely going with Portillo's!
Eric Taylor portillos is a no brainer. Gotta get that cake shake
This is a fantastic video. I took multiple years of art classes in highschool, but always appreciate a refresher on color theory and it's opportunities/applications (especially when discussed in the context of a hobby I really enjoy). I have been thinking about painting a set of Orange marines, and questioning how I can include blue in it without making just straight up orange and blue marines. I think painting in some shadows with a touch of dark navy, and highlighting black accents with a blue/grey highlight would look really good.
Love the paint scheme, would adore seeing a full 40 hour paint job on just one to see how far you could push the look.
oho man this was so cool how you went about it! going to paint my very first mini this weekend and i can't wait to try it this way!
Thanks for the videos, dude. These are all extremely insightful, informative and motivating for a beginner. Shine on, man!
Noice! Was just looking for a painting vid to listen to whilst painting. Thanks for the content.
The shot of all three of the dudes is great because you used the same colours on them all but differentiating the applications really makes them feel like individual soldiers. Very, very cool. Gives me a bit more confidence in changing things up when I start painting my minis and McFarlane figures
Very enjoyable and informative - came at a good time - have time on my hands with a recuperation from surgery and taking some of it to up my painting game. Echoes a thought of mine to get colour schemes organised before painting. Might seem a lot like work but I know it'll help things move along at a greater clip. Keep 'em coming.
Loved this! Thank you, all your content is an absolute pleasure to watch always :D
2:05 - Thought I was looking at Ferris Bueller there for a moment!
Thanks again for another awesome video!
Since I don't play Warhammer, I usually go for my own scheme with these guys, though since I'm colorblind I usually go for existing things (not space marines for example) and transfer that on a space marine
Another great vid! Dude, my Friday morning ritual is eating a bit of breakfast and watching your newest video. Keep on keeping on!
This may be your best composed video yet. Well done!
Wow, I just stumbled on this specific one and it’s amazing, Scott! Much Twin Cities love!
I used the 'armors of the imperium' mod for Xcom2 to both create and test color schemes for marines, came out with a few I really love, can't wait to get started painting them. Great vid as always Scott 🤟👍
Another amazing video, Scott. This video was a great educational moment. Thank you.
Legend has it, they still haven't decided on what restaurant to go to ...
This is awesome, great tweets that make all the difference to a mini!
Wasn't sure what to expect when I clicked on this video, but it was packed with useful advice and encouragement for people to take on the challenge of creating a custom paint scheme. It's definitely a personal thing. If you rely on someone else to tell you what or how to come up with a scheme you may as well just copy the box art. Loved the results on your chaos duders though, simple but effective scheme. Great video man
I thought Scott sounded drunk but then I realized it's just because I normally listen to Trapped Under Plastic on 2x speed.
Enjoyed this deep dive on color theory, great video!
Awesome exactly what I'm doing right now 🙌🙌🙌 ty for upload man! I'm going with lava/black rock base scheme and will challenge my self with trying to paint light glow effect from lava on the miniatures.
This really helps as I normally have problem with this kind of thing
Awesome video Scott! Content on point sir.
You are so didactic. You make one of the best content on miniature painting I have found on youtube. Sigue asi amigo!
Vince Venturella called, he wants his favorite color scheme back :D
Great video, I always get decision paralysis so this kind of thing helps a lot. Thanks!
Love your videos, loads of ideas thanks, and yes got the podcast on my spotify.
Love your videos man! Awesome content.
Thank you for another informative video Scott! I just wanted to add that there is an app called Impcat, that lets you plan your scheme on various template miniatures ranging from Games Workshop to Artel W. There is a community on Reddit creating new templates and you can take a hight quality pic of your unpainted mini and request someone make a template out of it too. The app also already has the Vallejo Game Colour and Model Colour ranges in the app but I believe you could upload Citadel or Scale75 paints as well.
I'm in no shape or form affiliated with the developer, but it's a great tool to have. My current financial situation does not allow me to start a new army but I still play around in this app from time to time because it's just so convenient. You don't just select basecoats but also shades and highlights.
Again I'm not a shill, it's just that good and a wonderful complement to the useful advice that has been given in this video.
Good video Scott, thanks. You talked about some color tools. I have an app on my phone called "paint rack". Not only does it have a inventory tool with most of the popular hobby paint line. It also has a tool that uses the camera on the phone to match colors you see. It will also use your inventory to show you what you own that's close to those colors you pick out.
Thanks for the grayscale idea. I love it!
You are such a dork and i mean that in the very best way possible. As both a newbie and a returning gamer from lifetimes ago. You are a great teacher
You suggested using Gimp or Paintshop to have a preview of your scheme: From Gimp I know it (and I would assume a paytool like Paintshop has something similar): You can enable extra filters for viewing your image to see what a colorblind person would see. With this you could even paint your units, so they look nice for the color blinds.
This was a great video, since I don't know much about 40k I am starting with my own faction of Space Wolves. Thanks for the inspiration to create
Hey dude, I FREAKING LOVE YOUR VIDEOS! I'm always painting and trying to become better. Recently I bought the the Deva from Reaper Bones mini. You should paint one of these because feathers are super hard anI feel like theres alot of potential there. THANKS DUDE KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!
This pops up while I was trying to find a scheme for my plague marines ! Nice !
Great work, Scott.
Nice video, thanks i really needed this!
Great tips in this vid as always!
Just started painting my Nighthaunt and went for a mix of
Gauss blaster into Kabalite green and Incubi darkness
Then blended them with hexwraith
After that I highlightet with some more gauss blaster and then another highlight layer with some white mixed with the gauss.
Came out great!
TheLivingRoomHero now I feel mediocre just using the GW scheme! That would be waaaay better. Maybe I’ll go strip a few and try it out.
Great video as always 🔥
One day I will be a legend at painting miniatures like this guy ! Great work bro !
hey are you ever gonna put anything on top of those cupboards you have back there, you have such a nice layout and aesthetic that I think it would look really nice to fill in those spaces with some larger statues ( maybe even blow up a 40k figure from each group and have them lineup together ) something like 12 inches could work to stay in the frame.
but at the end of the day, it's your choice. I've been watching your videos for a while and always have fun watching your content, hopefully, ill be able to afford to give this hobby justice, till then I hope you don't mind living through you. :)
There's stuff in there! It's just hard to see
Dude all the albums you showed , I could definitely feel like you would be cool talking metal lol I liked the second one came out really cool !
Just bought dark imperium so i actually really needed this haha
I saw this in a movie toss a coin then choose the opposite. Also I never know what to collect so I would collect my friends army and paint it in the colour scheme I hate the most thanks man. You really helped me I am going to paint classic Leviathan scheme for my Tyranids army and I will be super technical following TH-cam videos this video helped me a lot to figure out what to collect, thumbs up and subscribed.
If you have any of the Dawn of War games, there's an army painter which allows you to try out different color schemes. That's how I chose the colors for my Space Marine chapter. Also, there are templates online that you can find.
I always like to consider pushing contrast with different finishes, Using metallics for example to help sneak in those extra colours. I was able to convince a friend who originally going for a teal and black scheme on some dark eldar , but was never quite satisfied with the end results, to throw in some bronze on things like knee pads, filigree and other bits and adding that 3rd "detail" colour really helped make the whole scheme pop
I always see painting as a process just keep doing it till it looks right you can always paint over it again great vid thanks
Unnecessary shower scene ... next there will be a car chase. (I spent some time yesterday using oil wash light blue-green to do oxidising bronze, damn addictive).
@Clandestine Comments ? working through my old-school 25mm undead army - I made the oil wash mix as a trial on a fig, and liked it so much I went back and did the rest of the army's bronze bits.
Another good resource from my graphic design days were the Color Index pocket books by Jim Krause which were pages and pages of 4-5 color combinations that worked with variants. There’s a new Color Index XL larger book with updated and expanded color swatches and all are now 5 color combinations. Oh, and all the books had cmyk, rgb, and hex codes for the colors.
I'm definitely going to use these tips for my homebrew guardsmen regiment!
I'm at last step finishing Archaon on Dorghar at my own colors. Hope it will be a dope boy. ;)
Great video!
I want to go to Portillo's too! Anyway, it's usually coming up with a unit or army icon for me, not so much color scheme but very helpful video.
Very good video. thanks for the upload !
The shower soliloquy was a mix of psycho meets Ferris Bueller ! As ever an entertaining piece that's helpful gives some great advice. Thanks Scott.
Drawing colour schemes from nature is always a fun one. Some animals have really elaborate colour patterns to their feathers or fur that can be fun to duplicate.
You need to make a whole video doing that voice when you’re glasses are upside down 😂🤣
3:08 Kreator was found the city next to me.. they still live there :D
Ive actually thought about making a rust in peace themed space marine, lol
I might give these techniques a shot for my shelved Dark Eldar army. Part of it is painted in a Last Hatred scheme (purple armour), but I've fallen out of love with that and have been searching for something to rekindle that.
@Miniac I was just wondering where you found the images for practicing the colour scheme on photoshop. I also found the whole video pretty helpful as I am a new player and trying to come up with a new colour scheme for my GW Tyranids.
I really like how those Chaos Warriors turned out. I find searching for color palettes on Pinterest is another good way of finding schemes
Thanks to your air brush tutorial I'm using an air brush for the first time. Thank your awesomeness
great video. learned a lot!!!
this is amazing! thank you!
Hey Scott I have always problems painting scaled Monsters like Tyranids or Dragons. Maybe you could do some of this stuff to give inspiration. I find it hard to find colours for „natural“ or grown stuff :-) but the most Problem is to make it look awesome like your stuff.
Regards Sascha
I decided to apply your whole bit about adding flavor to your army to get your color scheme with my Sisters of Battle. I play the Order of the Bloody Rose, and if I had to define them in a phrase it would be "Doomslayer Nuns", they're by far the most firebranded and aggressive in their zealotry of the Orders Militant, I wanted to reflect that by having their weapons, armor and scenery caked in the blood of their enemies, I had some of the bolter barrels covered in blood to show they'd been fired at point-blank, for example, and add some flecks of blood to the faces, armor, robes and what-not.
I also decided to spice them up with some chipping battle-damage, as the 8th Edition Codex states the Bloody Rose don't take a single rest or respite until the job of annihilating the mutant, alien and heretic is done, to reflect they'd been on campaign without a break for quite some time. That also tied in with having them covered in blood, it's not only a kind of battle-trophy to them, but it reflects how they're beyond taking so much as a moment to re-polish their armor to make them look more like the heroes of the Imperium like the Order of the Ebon Chalice might.
For the bases I wanted to have them in a Cathedral setting not only to reflect the whole motif of the Adepta Sororitas, but to have a more narrative aspect of echoing how the Saint of the Bloody Rose, Saint Mina was praying in a chapel before being ambushed by a heretical cult, after which she slew them to a man before dying of her wounds, and now her descendants are caught in the same sort of situation, where the Cathedral stone is broken, cracked and running red with blood.
I know that's a bit of a ramble, but maybe I'm taking a page out of your book in that ;) I do think it was a fun brain-storming session, and I can't wait to put it in practice. I'm going to try out some contrast paint, although applying it more conservatively than the old GW tutorials reccomended to get a cleaner look.
I liked this one a lot Scott
Great episode
Another one to consider is sometimes the basing scheme. It can often influence how your paint scheme will fit or should look.
This is something so many ignore. The amount of Mars red AdMech on a Mars red base... is astounding to say the least. It all just looks like a sea of red.
I would love to see a Chaos Lord or Knight painted on this color scheme by you on a high level.With a coll base that will follow your narrative he will look awesome
Can you do a video on that "enamel panel liner"? Perhaps covering when how to use it effectively.
Enamel panel liner is basically just an ink wash that is enamel based instead of acrylic based. There are advantages to enamels. Because they aren't water based, there's a lot less surface tension, so they flow differently, and don't want to pool quite as much. Enamels (and oil paints for that matter) don't interact with acrylic paints, so you won't lift your base coat or anything like that. They also have a longer working time, so you can use thinner to tinker and retouch things for quite a long while. If you're going to experiment with enamels be sure to buy an odorless thinner like Mona Lisa or Gamsol.
I think about my painting in the shower myself. Lol. Good thoughts on thinking of schemes. Great video.
Great video! Color Harmony is another free and easy to use app that helps pick color palettes. It even extracts color palettes from uploaded images.
The other issues I consider when working on colour schemes is how I interpret what the model is and its accoutrements. For example I am currently practising on Death Guard with Contrast and Metallic paints. I don't see the guard as having bright colours despite the shade of green used in the scheme, (And I did base my scheme on the green on the box art). Instead of treating the sharp protrusions from the body as bone, I decided it was more like horn, like in deer etc. Then I went further and based black, overlaid with brown and tipped with scarlet. It looks dark but works. Tentacles are purple like octopus. Accessories like the brass bells also have that verdigris on them post shading in the old GW Flesh Wash and rimming with the original colour. All dark, dark, dark. Now my force is looking traditional Plague Marine with a twist. And we all know they're twisted. It is about how you see there detail in addition to the main palette.
I love the Adobe color scheme creator. I used to live on that site when making overlays for streamers. I never stuck exactly to what it said but it was a helpful tool.
I used to use another that gave secondary and tertiary colors that still worked together but didn't clash
"Hi, my names Scott the miniature maniac and today weratakabowhaww you can come up with your own paint scheme"
What did you use for the rocks on their bases? They look incredible!
When i started my current Chaos warrior army bag in the day. I knew i didn't want to paint them primary Black or silver so i painted a couple of test models.i went with a bone white for the armor and green for the capes and banners. I actually didn't think of color theory, i chose paints that i liked and experimented with them.
