I have always found white a total nightmare to paint, really appreciate this tutorial and look forward to giving it a go.

"And pretend it's a highlight.. shhh" thanks for the laugh :D

When I start watching your videos, it was all about how to paint. But lately, I catch myself watching your videos because I enjoy how cheerful you are while painting the miniatures. You really like doing that and your cheerfulness is contagious. Keep up the good work.

I did basically the same thing except used primed Seer gray, then zenithal spray of white. Then basically did recess/line shading using apothecary white instead of all over. Did a couple coats in certain areas to bump up the contrasts. Then Ardcoat on the armor panels.

I did the sound effects and I've never had so much fun mixing my paint

I'm very new to the miniature painting universe and also to SLA 3D printing. OF COURSE I printed a bunch of Stormtroopers first and now they need color! I also saw the technique with the apothecary white in another video, imitated it and it didn't look good. Also, my paint can was much darker than the one in your videos. And it was only because of you that I saw the white particles on the ground!!! I immediately put a ball in the jar and what can I say except THANK YOU SO MUCH. Now it looks just like yours, looking forward to painting it...

Nice overview on standard technique.

It looks like the figure just walked out of the movie! THis was really helpful in painting a figure in white. Thanks for sharing this.

I use white primer to make it little easier and so I just have to do some touch ups with white paint and then go in with the black and give it some highlights

Thanks for the video. Hands down you have the best tutorials on KZfaq😁👍🏻

The sound effects are VITAL to the painting process! 👍😆

What?! No Agrax Earth Shade?! Something must be wrong... this isn't the Sonic I know!

I’m sure you get a lot of comments like this but I just want to express my genuine appreciation for your channel. I’m pretty new to the entire hobby and your videos have helped me so much in not only painting up my Ork army for 40k but also just wrapping my head around some techniques for anything I might attempt in the future. Your way of presenting all the information and showing the results is insanely helpful. Thanks so much man!

great - have been putting off starting biel tan guardians and this looks like a good quick path to white.

Also good for Tau armour, thank you.

Brilliant - a technique I'll try and emulate in my army building that will start soon. One observation, the black brim on the front of the helmet follows the raised detail, not just above where you have painted yours. But of course this doesn't really matter - a small geeky detail - as all your troopers will be painted the same and look consistent. Thanks again :-)

Excellent result in very, very little time!

That looks smart and quick and a great table top finish !

fantastic tutorial! Great use of the contrast paints.

Brilliant tutorial again.

These are great, can we get more contrast tutorials? I loved that Dwarf you did.

Great to see some good results with the Apothecary White there :)

Appreciate this mate. Will be put to good use.

I really like this look. Very tempted to do some marines in the same scheme. Could get a whole army painted in no time. Brilliant video mate 👍🏻🙂 I agree without the sound affects it just wouldn’t work

Fantastic video thanks. Been looking for a reason to try contrast paints and this should improve on my previous storm trooper efforts!

You’ve been on a roll lately. Looks smashing.

Just finished up my Imperial assault heroes & Special characters for Imperial assault core and a lot the expansions heroes, But I still have a million or maybe a couple less than that Stormtroopers to do, I think this is a good color scheme for them and Ive wanted to try the new contrast stuff.

Great tutorial!

Hey, I miss your videos and with warcry coming out tomorrow I believe, could I make a request for how to paint flesh eater courts quickly? I like your attitude towards painting and would like to adopt a method of painting ghouls and whatnot :)

nice tutorial, thanks mate!

I've seen some better results for white using the contrast gray but watered down. I find the Apothecary white to be a little underwhelming for the darker details. Might test that a bit for what I feel is a better white with lines effect.

Great video

Love this video...I have a lot more of the Emperor's Flees to paint :)

I’ve seen this done is a few other videos and the troopers turn out too grey for my taste. Stormtrooper armor should be more of a pristine white, so I’m using Tamiya white as a base coat. I’ll test one guy with the Apothecary White contrast paint, but I don’t like the blue/grey effect. I’d rather use a pin wash and see how the dark lines turn out, but it’s really just personal preference.

Amazing !

cool

that looks damn sexy great job m8 was looking forward to this one

I've started to follow along with this tutorial as I haven't painted for years and wanted to finally take the plunge with the Legion set I got last year. Are you able to tell me if the lighting is a little boosted in your video? I thought I'd done a fairly nice base of Corax white spray, but after applying the Apothacary and starting to dry brush in Ceramite White (all I had on hand), overall it still appears quite a lot darker and more contrasted than what is being shown here. I'm not unhappy with the results, but just wanted to see if perhaps what I was viewing on the video was a little lighter than in real life. Fantastic tutorial by the way!

Great tutorial - will actually be using your technique on some resin printed Stormtrooper Skeletons from “One Gold Piece” Patreon. Was curious what the varnish was that you used - didn’t see it listed with the paints, and not sure I heard correctly which one you used. Regardless, thanks for the instruction

I followed this to a tee but my stormtrooper still looks kinda grey

That's pigment in the bottom... Acrylic artist inks do the same thing in their bottles.

Thats really cool...HEY, The Army Painter Channel just TOTALLY copied two of ur vids....painting with washes and crackled ground for ur base....that's how good u r....thought u should know ; }

I'm requesting some wh40k Ork grethins! :))

Does anyone else think these Stormtroopers are a bit..chunky?. No reflection on the awesome paint job tho.

Can you do another imperial guard tutorial but instead with contrast paints?

What is the thing that you used to hold the Stormie in place when you go about your painting?

Awesome! Thank you so much! 🙂

Wow!!!! Where did you get the mini from?

do you recommend washing this with nuln oil after wards to highlight those details more?

Hi :) Great Vid!!!!! :) Is ther any opption to get French inf napoleon 28 mm with contrast??

So if I wanted to paint white a set of battletech miniatures would you recommend this way of doing it, or the other video you got to paint white marines with the drakenhof shade + lahmian medium? Also, if trying to achieve a 3 color camo with white base + light grey/dark grey, would this process work adding the camo before doing a final wash with apo. white? Thanks.

Looks good but gotta say it bothered me that you painted the wrong part above the eyes black that whole raised band above the eyes should be black not above it.

would this work on the new clone troopers that are coming to legion?

So, is the choice of Corax white something you prefer over the new spray primers, or is this just what you had around?

Is the “eyebrow” supposed to be black or the section above it?

Nice work and show and tell. Should the black band above the eyes be painted black? it looks like you painted above it. Unless you went for that look.

Would using white scar instead of praxeti white to dry brush work?

When you dry brush, do you run your brush all across the figure or just along the edges? I did as per your vid, and found the greyness of the Apothecary White to be very prominent if I just run the dry brush across the raised edges. Any advice would help :) I’m a beginner at painting miniatures.

Please do a video collecting all of your sound effects.

what do you use for agitators in your paint pots?

Lol the black headband

how do you find the contrast paints with using a regular primer?

Where is Dart Vader?...

Fleas

>calls stormtroopers bad guys My Jimmies are beyond rustled.
