Only imperial stormtroopers could paint so precisely.

Hello Duncan! Now that the comments are online I'd like to be able to personally say thank you for your help learning how to paint models over the past year. Your guides have been supremely helpful and it's nice to see you working online again. I want to ask since I haven't seen you answer this question yet: Will you be putting out videos that tackle more advanced subjects, such as Wet-blending, zenithol highlighting, how to do secondary edge highlighting and general tips for doing more difficult stuff? Now that you've come to work on your own and have a lot more freedom to do what you like, I'd love to see you teach and discuss more advanced techniques for painters who want to expand beyond what a general GW speed paint tutorial can teach them. I understand of course if this channel will be more for doing the same sort of basic stuff to help people in a much more broad sense, and either way I'm excited to see what you do next!

This is the painting guide I'm looking for.

I love that you're using non-citadel paints now, it gives a much wider range of paints that I can learn how to use!

I love the fact that you’re not obliged to use just one brand of paints, this is the start of a golden era of duncan tutorials!

I'm gonna throw this out there: gloss finish. The movie troopers are incredibly glossy with that plastic finish. Adding a coat of a gloss varnish at the end helps the miniatures read as Stormtroopers, IMO. I would also like to add I'm glad you're still finding a way to teach people how to paint. I learned a lot from you over the years!

I love how the armor doesn't look white until you add the black details and suddenly it gets brighter with each coat. Such a cool effect!

It's both weird and fantastic to see you paint non Citidel models with non Citidel paints! Great to see you painting again, Duncan!

Good ol'Duncan still in the Imperium, different universe tho

Did he say: “straight from the pot”? I thought that was illegal in the UK ...

Hey Duncan, as someone else said now that comments are allowed. I can't thank you enough for the Leviathan Hive Fleet tutorial you did. Thank you so much for this, and the videos yet to come.

Thanks for this! I've been holding off on painting my stormies from Legion because of all that white.

finally some good painting tutorials

Gotta admit I was expecting a different kind of Imperial Stormtrooper

The white contrast paint is an absolute godsend for these kinds of tasks! Amazing stuff! Also glad to have you back, and I can't wait to see you work on different miniatures! Make us discover new mini brands while you teach us how to paint at the same time, that would be neato!

Seeing Duncan Painting Legion models using Army Painter is like getting a peep into an awesome alternative universe

I'm so glad that the legendary inaccuracy of the Stormtroopers didn't rub off onto your brushwork. Great tutorial for painting white on armour. :)

That’s great! Good luck with this new endeavor. It was nice to see this style with a little more time showing the technique. Really appreciate that!

DUNCAN LIVES! *STOMP STOMP* Awesome to see you back. I learned painting from you and i intend to keep learning. Good day to you, good sir!

Love you Rodger! Love you Duncan! Something I think would be interesting to see is painting different material minis and how that changes process. For example, the old school metal minis from either GW or others

And now that I can say it here: Duncan. Thank you, for teaching me how to paint. All the techniques, the methods.

So glad to see that you're still doing painting tutorials, Duncan

All hail the god of two thin coats! The mixed paints tutorial helped me a lot! thank you!

Being able to comment on a duncan video is a true treat! Plus a non GW product and non citadel paints?! What a new world! Looks amazing and im gonna go pick up some stormtroopers and try this out!

I'm not even painting these miniatures... Duncan's videos are just so relaxing and enjoyable!

I don't remember this Imperial Guard regiment...

Duncan and AP paints. That's like dividing by zero.

YES!!!! YOU ARE BACK!!!! PRAISE TO THE CHAOS GODS!!!! YOU HAVE YOUR OWN CHANNEL!!!! BETTER THAN CHRISTMAS!!!!!

Love that we have these videos to look forward to! Opened up to new models, new paint ranges, brushes. Great to see these are being made. I feel like they can be a good bridge between pure beginner and very advanced.

Awesome Duncan. Thanks for this and so glad to be watching you again.

Hey thanks for this Duncan! Was looking for something to send a friend who just started his Star Wars Legion Army. Appreciate the continued hard work on your channel!

All hail Duncan the master painting teacher

Love seeing that Duncan is painting again in stream. He’s honestly such a pillar in the community. Subscribed and here to stay :)

Duncan!!! Soooo good to have you back doing what you love!

I've always found your tutorials comprehensive and easy to follow. I'm really pleased you're continuing!

Thank you for everything Duncan!You helped me so much getting back to the hobby and becoming a much better painter.I'm really glad and excited that you are back with your own channel and can't wait for new videos.Thanks again!

Duncan - you are my Bob Ross. I'm sketching for work, listening to you in the background. I dont even need to learn anything, its just fun to listen to your calm dulcit tones!

Great to see you doing more tutorials Duncan! You’ve been just a great and inspiring teacher of painting miniatures to me, and I’ve improved so much with my own miniatures thanks to you. I owe you one man, keep up the great work!

Duncan is back with great new stuff. My life goes on :-) Thanks for this great video!

I decided to do a drybrush version of this for a more "film grain" look of the armor ...and i am not disapointed. Good stuff as usual Duncan

great work Duncan, looking forward to everything you are planning!

Love this so much. Your stromtrooper is one of the highest quality ones I've seen!

Never in my life did I think I would just happen to have all the paints you are using.

I've watch A LOT of tutorials for the stormtroopers andyou did the best job ! not soaked in shades not dirty and so nicely painted ! amazing job ! You sir have a new subscribed fan !

Duncan! So great to be able to leave comments - really appreciate your great videos (both historically on Warhammer TV and going forward at Duncan Rhodes Painting Academy)! Thanks for taking the fear out of painting (especially as someone coming back to the hobby as an adult - I've really found some great satisfaction it in so far)!

Thanks guys! I loved that transition from grey plastic to painted at the end, it was awesome! Keep up the fantastic work!

It lifts my heart to see this Duncan; just wow. Great stuff. God bless you :D

Great too see you sooibg your own thing. Thanks for all your work over the years. Making the nice paintschemes seem doable for all of us out there. You passion really shines through now that you can do what you want, great to see!

Is anyone else playing the 2 thin coats drinking game? It plays havoc with your painting though! ... In all seriousness, its good to see you painting all sorts of miniatures with different products, hope your channel is a huge success.

Yo Duncan Im excited for all the great content coming at us from you, glad your still painting and showing us how to be a pro like you!

Great video thanks. Very transferable skill painting white and it’s lovely to see you paint different ranges.

Great to see you still doing this!

This is great! Thanks Duncan. I can’t wait to see more Legion painting tutorials.

Thanks Duncan and team

Yaaaasssss! Your timing is perfect! Just getting ready to start working on my Phase 2 Clone Troopers for Legion!

Great to see the new endeavour and looking forward to some more fantastic content. After a 20 year break from painting and wargaming I got back into it and your tutorials helped a lot and gave me some confidence. So thanks Duncan. Needless to say I'm deep into some 40k and now Underworlds and don't even wanna consider any Star Wars stuff. Good luck with the painting academy 👍👍

Its so good hearing your voice again Duncan. Loved the tutorial

Mate, you're so good at this and it's really cool seeing you branch out. You've been the inspiration of so many impulse model buys after seeing your tutorials, I'm made up you're doing this :)

I can finally comment. Thank you for all your help. Your videos have been a fantastic source for learning.

Wow...just wow! Thanks for the tutorial Duncan :)

Miniature lighting is now perfect! 😍

Really cool work Dunc and Roger keep it up

Getting a clean white has been such a struggle for me for AGES in this hobby, but I feel a lot more comfortable with it now! Thanks for addressing the tough colors, these are really helpful!

This is the channel I always hope existed!!! Def going to need a good old Rubric marine tutorial for us plebs. Thanks again for being the teacher I always needed!

Thank you Duncan, I have learned much and improved greatly from your tutorials Excellent teaching skills.

Great to be able to comment on your painting vids! Love the work you have done and can't wait for some really high end techniques!

Thanks for your painting guides, legend!

Yaaaaaaaaay 💪 so excited for this... finally get to say thank you for atleast 3 years of closely monitoring your work

Hey duncan, thank you for doing these and warhammer tv videos. I have started painting warhammer because of you. I saw warhammer games multiple times but never really knew what they were untilt one sunny day while sitting in my garden in August I looked it up. I saw you painting a space marine and I liked it. I ordered a Primaris space marine paint set and then started painting. Thank you again

I really like the way you did that white. I'm going to give it a try. Thanks for sharing, Duncan and Rodger!

Wow! That looks amazing

Thank you so much for this guide. I will use it right away

Our dearest father Duncan, thank you for your work and actually investing time and effort into this project. You always were a media icon of Warhammer for thousands of people across the globe. I picked up painting miniatures after a very long time away from any tabletop wargames exclusively because of you and your tutorials. And I also want you to know that you have a little fanclub in Russia and countries of independent commonwealth. We really love you and were deeply saddened at a time when it was announced about your resignation from GW. I was afraid that you would simply abandon the painting field and we would never hear from you again. Thankfully it never happened and your skill and talent truly bloomed because of all the freedom of choice you have acquired. I'm really looking forward to seeing new tutorials and can't wait for the Academy site to open and start offering memberships because I'm definitely will be getting one. Thank you again

Thank you so much for this... I'm painting some for my own army. :D This is great. I started my first army on your videos and I've already managed to nab three best painted awards with it. Friggin hero, man.

Thank you, Duncan. You're a good man.

Hey Duncan, I just want to thank you for the tutorials...really helped me getting into the hobby

I've always enjoyed your GW tutorials and am thrilled to see your own channel painting other types and companies models. Good luck with your channel.

Thanks Duncan! I was looking for a way to chew through my Clone Troopers from Legion fast and this seems to be the trick. Nice, sharp looking and easy to do.

First of all; Thank you Duncan! I know you were personally involved in my return to the hobby and a number of friends as well. Really excited to see you try some new things like using a wet pallet, Glazing, NMM (maybe even sky earth chrome.) My favorite way now is directional lighting and glazing (thanks to Darren Latham and Vince V.) I truly believe your teaching style could bridge the gap on some advanced techniques for people as you make the impossible seem very attainable with only 2 thin coats.

I have always found your tutorials helpful. Keep up the good work.

Thanks again Duncan! I have been wanting to get into Star Wars legion for awhile now! You got me to order a set of Stormtroopers! 💯🤘🏼

DUNCAN! cant wait for the website to be up! Super excited for your videos!

Really good video. Normally I would look at Sarastaros for SWL but I've reached a peak of painting laziness/burn out, so this is an excellent result simply done. Happy with this Duncan.

Its awesome to see you painting again, m8! May this be the beginning of something great.

Love this video, thanks Duncan

Thank you Duncan, these are stunning

Is really good to see the paint god use something else than the gw’s product! Great job as always and thanks for all the tips, tricks and techniques

Brilliant video Mr Duncan sir. And thank you so much for not using the Dog awful 3 quarter view in the intro. This video felt so much more personal. Which is awesome.

oooh yess, tutorial on how to paint white armour!!!! thank you!!!!

Another top notch video, best of luck in your new endeavors!

YESS I JUST bought this boxset this weekend! Legion is hella cool.

I can't express enough how happy I am that you decided to stuck with tutorial production after leaving GW. It's utterly your fault I "accidentally" stopped building Gunpla and sci-fi stuff and instead got hooked on minis and brush painting so it's only fair you stick around to support my habit ^_^ I can't wait to see what you will get up to now your choice is unlimited!

Oh hell yeah, Duncan and Legion in the same video. Instant subscribe

Very professional production 👌

Good to see you're still rolling out painting videos, Duncan. Keep up the amazing work. I'm going to start my new sisters of battle army in white armour. Wish me luck :)

Yo Duncan! So happy that you have your own channel now! :) More power to you!

This is awesome!, So glad to see you back mate! You have teach us a lot!, my sincere Thanks!!

Thank you Duncan for all the tutorials you made, they made my comeback to the hobby much easier. I hope you'll help a lot more people with painting now that you are back making videos. And it would be fun to do painting and/or conversions of Star Wars Stormtroopers and 40k Imperial Guards miniatures :) (white guardsmen and cadian-style stormtroopers)

Many thanks Duncan.

Dear Duncan and Roger; you are legends. Peace
