I had planned to just paint the command squad by myself but once I got to the banner, I decided that it might be worth a tutorial! Banners really stand out on the battlefield and people tend to pick up those models for a closer look, so it's good to have some confidence painting them! We don't all have to produce Michelangelo level free hand artworks on them though, just paint them up to a level where you're happy with them!
I've been painting up the rest of my Cadian infantry on Twitch, Tuesdays and Thursdays 8-10PM GMT Come hang out with me and the MH community!
Let me know if you have any questions about any other elements of the command squad expect more Cadian tutorials as new models are released!!

I found your channel a few days ago with the new ordnance batteries and have been watching all of your cadian videos and plan to watch your others as well. While I've never stopped building, I have been out of the paining game for a long time and want to start getting back into it. Your videos are great because you talk through the steps and show the steps as you're doing them. So many tutorials just say do this, do that but do not actually show how to do it. You've quickly become my favorite channel for painting tutorials!

Painting banners is something I've never gotten used to. I loved the old WHFB army books when they had full colour banners in them that you could just photocopy and stick on. They never lasted well before needing replaced though so this video is great for making them less intimidating, cheers.

Cool Video Andy. As to certain parts of the mini drawing the eye of someone looking at it. When I started painting around 30 years ago someone (Neil Feldwick I think?) told me that "Faces and Bases make your minis look Ace's!"

The scary thing about flags, banners, and standards is that you usually only have one of them to paint so there’s more pressure to get it right 😅

Any advice on painting in the folds? I always had trouble with the old ones.

@MediocreHobbies Жыл бұрын

That’s the trick. When your layering you don’t paint in the folds. You just leave those parts at the contrast wash stage.

@TheSarge23 Жыл бұрын

As I'm nearing that part of the set myself, a question: Is there a way in modern Warhammer to do unique/empty banners instead of the pre-molded ones like here? I'd love to go with my own iconography, but have no idea how to change the flag to an 'empty' one. Any ideas/pointers? (If there's a 3d printing solution, I'd love to know where to purchase the stl!)

@MediocreHobbies Жыл бұрын

There are indeed options. I would go on places like eBay and type in warhammer flag and see what pops up. Some old world warhammer flags are perfect For it. Also standard historical modles have set plain flags that you mite be able to use.

A lot of nice effects that you accomplished by using contrast paints got lost when you put layer paints on top, almost making the entire contrast stage redundant. Maybe I am not seeing the shades and gradients on the screen...

@MediocreHobbies Жыл бұрын

I use contrast paints to get a quick base cost on models, I don’t really use them for “contrast”! The layering is where I add simple light and shadow but I don’t do much of it!

any recommendations for a better white than corax white?

Yeah I’ve done a few videos on painting white-best advice is go outside of the citadel range for white-you need a good strong pigmented paint, pro acryl bold titanium white is one of my faves!

@@cobbnobb it's the only colour that I'd recommend going outside of the range for even if it's all you use, corax white just doesn't work well! honestly just get one good white from somewhere else and keep with citadel for the rest, it's all you need and you'll have a much better time!
