Batch Painting Valor Korps Infantry - Drybrushing & Shades [How I Paint Things]

This was supposed to be the first upload of 2023, but since people asked very nicely about the preview image that went up... alright, alright. You get it early!
Quit overthinking your paint schemes! Pick a handful of colours, drybrush uniforms, highlight one striking detail and leave the rest as shaded basecoats. You're painting vast armies of infantry, after all - skip anything you can! Pick and choose what'll be in the 'background,' and find those details to pick out with a little extra work that'll make the whole unit come alive on the tabletop.

Finding third party printers is a little more work since they don't list them, but Google will point you in the right direction, or you can contact The Makers Cult directly to ask who's available nearest to your area.

THE BASE: PVA and sand. Thinned down German Camo Black Brown, drybrushed with Brown Sand and Dark Sand - all from Vallejo. While drybrushing, skip up on to legs and coat a little to give impression of grubby, dusty uniform. These tufts are Mountain Tufts from Army Painter, added with super glue. Done!

2:57 Ah, the Valor 'Royally Flying' Korps have arrived, I see. ;) great looking minis and scheme.

0:34 seconds into the video, I really need to say this: please, never stop doing videos with WW1 related material! The color scheme, the weathering, the basing, it's a fantastic paint job! I really appreciate your work and even if I just discovered your channel earlier this year looking for Death Korps ofKrieg painting tutorials, I look forward for your videos as a fresh look into miniature painting. Thank you and I hope you have a great 2023!

Recently restored my 20 year old Revell French WW1 and currently working on Airfix vintage WW1. I'm using Tamiya ocean gray spray as the primer. To get a horizon blue outcome it really is important. Dry brush technique you use is fantastic and I have replicated on my project. Overall good outcomes. Once the other colours go on it's interesting how the horizon blue just starts to pop. Great video Sir.

Nice to see dry brush techniques. Just finishing Warlord Games Eighth Army... prime, slap on base coat, then contrast paint for depth/creases. Leave to dry and then dry brush. That's the uniforms done. Dry brush techniques makes it quicker and does add to the effect of material. Webbing colour is slightly different between figures... uniforms in action are never, well, uniform.

@geronimo8159 Жыл бұрын

For things like the respirator tubes you could try a colour called "tire black" (or something like this) from Secret Weapon. It looks really, well, rubbery 🙂

Great stuff bud I am grtting ready to print off a bunch of stuff this coming week. I love the other helmets they designed and made available with most of their Valor Korps range (of course csn print them off from other ranges as well for even older ones or for Characters. Soing a OnePageRules army for human defense forces but also want ro use them in Horus Heresy as Imperial Militia as rhe rules just came out for thrm.

@soerenheriksen Жыл бұрын

If you want to reduce the chalky finish with drybrushing, try to wipe off excess paint using cardboard or a texture palette. Using a paper towel will remove too much moist from the paint leaving the remaining pigment dry and chalky.

@SonicSledgehammerStudio Жыл бұрын

In this case, I'm actually looking for the chalky finish. It's extra texture on clothing which might otherwise appear quite smooth without small scratches and highlighting.

Thanks for the tip about the cardboard over paper towel. This will be a big help going forward.

@SonicSledgehammerStudio Жыл бұрын

Remember: Uniform isn't! There's all sorts of reasons you could have multiple colours throughout an army, supply chains, weathering and fading of fabric, or new equipment being introduced while the old slowly phases out of an army's stores... There's nothing to say you need to repaint what you've already done if you like how a different method looks. :D

@lordbiscuitthetossable5352 Жыл бұрын

Indeed! The beautiful thing with uniforms is that the age of it likely could reflect experience, with the more vibrant colours likely being newer folks, with only the old guard having the dye bleed into the battlefield. It is probably only a matter of months for guard...Ahahaha!

These minis could be used as Gear Krieg's adversaries, WGA make some WWI boxed sets that coul be a good start for conversions, f.e. for an Alternate history Earth, they seems really a What If? likes for a retro sci-fi past👍

Amazing video as usual! I really like your Imperial guard videos. Only one question, throught... What did you use to blend them in with the base? Did you use pigment powders? Or is it drybrush? Thanks a lot!

@SonicSledgehammerStudio Жыл бұрын

The dust and grime is leftover on the brush while drybrushing their bases; once you've got most of it off, you skip up on to the legs and coat and it's nice and quick to do. The colours are in the basing section of the description! :D

Looks great, was there no further weathering added to the bottom of the greatcoats? The final products on the turn table look like they have had some further work down to them but it may have been the drying time? Either way, thanks for the video!

Why didnt you show the last step, the weathering? I acrually wanted to see how you get the smooth transitions between blue and dust

@SonicSledgehammerStudio Жыл бұрын

Short answer is that it's almost impossible to catch on camera. It's just drybrushing while basing, though; check the description for the colours used.

A weird question on a painting video but what resin do you print with? I only ask as i have had too many figures break for falls like that one.

@joegekko Жыл бұрын

Resin certainly makes a difference, but oftentimes very brittle minis are caused by leaving them under the post-curing lights for too long.

@TheDarkplace Жыл бұрын

@@joegekko it also doesn't help when they are covered in fiddly bits like the ones from infinite heroes

@SonicSledgehammerStudio Жыл бұрын

I'll second the comment about how long they're cured probably being a contributing factor. I use the water washable resin from Elegoo, but once these guys are out and cleaned up I cure them under the rotating UV lamp for just 5-6 minutes. Any longer and things like swords and lasgun barrels start getting a bit too crispy.

@SonicSledgehammerStudio Жыл бұрын

I'm not the person to ask! 😅 Do YOU think it would look good? Honestly, if it works on the Valor Korps, it'll almost certainly work on the Death Korps. They're close enough except for the helmets they're practically identical.
