Of all of the stormtrooper painting videos, I'm definitely preferring this finish. They look whiter which is what I'm after. Thank you

I really like this method. I've tried several different methods, and this one was the one I got the best results with. I am a novice painter, but using the contrast as shown in this video let me make the edges of the armor stick out without making the rest of the model look dirty. Thank you!

the key to painting white is dry brushing it on. citadel has dry paints that can be your base and vallejo has a matt white that can be dry brushed too. i use brown sand though on my troopers that is watered down. dab that around and see where it needs some weathering. you can always go back and dry brush some white in a spot if you need to fix it.

only just found this by accident coming from Duncan's painting channel but this is how I've been doing my storm troopers since I started only I do a 3:1 mix of medium to apothecary white and have to drybrush with a gloss white at the end, black is the same though.

I've just finished painting my first squad of these from the core box, mostly a similar technique but you have few nice short cuts. I went straight in with full fat apothecary on corax white so ended up being a bit darker. It was the time it took to finish mine which made it feel like really hard work. Anyway great tutorial, thanks for posting :)
@criticalhitwargaming52902 жыл бұрын
Thanks for watching! My first batch of Phase I clones were painted with Corax and (almost) out the pot Apothecary White. They required a good 45 minutes of layering per model to look even vaguely white again. I switched to Colour Forge Matt White and some thinned Apothecary White and they looked infinitely better. More importantly it took a third of the time. 🤣

It works! Just remember if you make a mistake with the black in the armour joints, just correct the white with Corax White and you're good to go.

As for Kill Team, the new edition of Kill Team doesn't lend itself too well to the narrative side of life so I'm trying to work out a good way to continue the story.
