What's absolutely awesome about your channel is that I enjoy watching the entire process of you painting ANY miniature, because it's just so well made that there's literally something new to learn in every video. Thank you so much for the quality content Duncan ! NB : I loved your angron and khorne berzerkers tutorials, it truly helped me a lot (and I'm sure the same applies to tons of other peopIe). I was wondering if you planned to do an exalted eightbound / eightbound tutorial, or a jakhal tutorial one day? Or even a lord invocatus tutorial, who knows !!! Cheers, and take care !

It's good to see the Tomb Kings of Khemri models make a come back for The Old World, mostly the Necrosphinx. Excellent video. I remember there was a Citadel Foundation paint called Khemri Brown (Baneblade Brown) it was good colour basecoat for the Cadians, as well for the Tomb Kings.

Old World has taken my local scene by storm. So many Tomb Kings and Bretonnia players have busted out their old armies again. It’s been getting me curious as to what GW is gonna do with Chaos in the Old World. On another note: finally got my hands on some Two Thin Coats paint. Stuff works marvellously. Glistening Gold is a wonderfully reliable paint.

I remember when this army originally came out - I wanted it then, not because it was a powerful army, but because it just looked so FREAKING AWESOME!!! but I sucked something fierce as a painter: I'm not much better now!! LOL, and didn't think I could do it justice. I bought the Knights already, If I like the game like I think, I will get this ARMY and paint it with the help of Duncan...LOL

@papercuts6096 6 ай бұрын

The Bob Ross of Warhammer knocks out another one. Great stuff as always. Do you have plans to show how to paint some of the character choices for the TK? They have a bit more flesh than this model. Or maybe you could recommend another model tutorial of yours that I could copy from? A vampire perhaps?

When I paint mummies or anything with dry bandages, I usually basecoat them with Zandri Dust, then wash them with Battle Mud Wash or Agrax Earthshade, followed by a drybrush with Ushabti bone. That's it for models that will be used on the battlefield, since they will inevitably see some wear and tear, I don't invest too much work in those. Display models have the drybrushing followed by a 'dotted' highlight of Screaming Skull and some off-white on the most exposed spots.

Also painting some proxies for Tomb Kings right now with a very similar paint scheme. Very happy I found a faster process given how many of these undead I have to paint. I go for an airbrushed zenithal base coat with a light bone color. Greedy Gold from Vallejo for the metal. Color details I'm only going for blue. Then I slap some Seraphim Sepia Wash all over the bones and bandages and only highlight the bones. I use a blue wash for the blue parts and a black wash for non-gold metal parts. Dry brush the metals with lighter metals for some highlights there. But overall, just a lot less necessary to go back and clean stuff up again that way. I think if I had to do this process here I'd go mad, especially because the proxies come with a lot more details in the bones and bandages compared to the GW models here.

@antigrav6004 6 ай бұрын

Shields should definitely be painted on the sprue. Saves so much effort. It is very tempting to just build them up immediately, but you must resist that urge. Also, a yellow wash like zealot yellow or cassandora yellow looks great over gold and gives it an ancient look.

@earnestwanderer2471 6 ай бұрын

Always preferred a lighter bone color and a greyish color for the bandages. In the ancient days it was just Skull White with a Brown Ink wash.

Great to see these old school schemes get some love by the legend. I recently joined the DRPA and purchased the entirety of wave 1 and wave 2 of TTC, with the racks!! I can't wait to try them out and I love how well the range appears to be organized, I'll finally be able to pick up any model and look at my paint racks and immediately pick my triads without thinking too much. This is what I've always wanted! Will be trying your regal color scheme on the Bret Knights...any chance of more Bretonnians or does that knight basically cover everything relating to that color scheme? Thanks !

Can we see Duncan painting a shuttle with the Von Valancious colors from Rogue Trader? Loved the colors in the game but had some difficulty choosing the right colors to replicate the visual.

@stefan-georgfuchs9618 6 ай бұрын

Thinking backwards, I missed the boat on the Tomb Kings back in the old days. Too many other armies... but I always wanted to have a TK Army. Now I jumped in with both feet and ordered the Core Box plus NecroSphinx plus Tomb Stalkers ( Knights ) and I still have Settra in Tin to lead the Army !....Your Vid came right to pass and I am sure I will view it several times once GW is able to ship the ordered Minis... I wonder if you going to do a vid on how to paint the black marble of the Necrosphinx 🤔😄

Another great video Duncan👍🏻 I have a video request. Could you ever do a short on how to stay motivated to keep painting? I’ve got 9 armies I’m chipping away at, two of which have been ongoing since about 2003. I find I neglect some of them for years at a time and can’t bring myself to even face, space wolves or wood elves for example. Don’t even wanna look at em’. One trick I do is while batch painting a squad for example is to also have a character from a different faction same time to ‘give me something to look forward to’ so like a squad of catachans and a high elf mage on the side so it doesn’t get too monotonous. Anyway sorry for long comment, great vid as per👍🏻😁
