Vince is dressed nicer to go outside and prime than I've dressed since March 2020

"I have lots of videos on doing streaking." Vince Venturella, 2021.

This radiates "So anyway, I started blasting."

The burnt umber joke happened so fast and was an absolute belter! I just wanted to give appreciation to that! Great video too :)

You know things are serious when Vince busts out the "Look, fam..."

I'm such a massive fan of painting terrain as a way to refresh my creative juices and just into a flow state. I tend to do my metallics before the oil wash and use far brighter colours than I would on models that I want it to go with and that ties them all together. I've got two old gw pots with oil washes of paynes grey and a mix of browns just for when I need to do terrain

I’ve referenced this video about 15 times over the past couple of years. Thanks so much for all of your valuable lessons. 🙏

This is perfect timing for me as I'm just about starting a Horus Heresy board build. Thanks for taking the time to make such an informative video for what is a daunting project.

Love the video! Helped me paint my Warcry pretty quickly. Also i found out that orange contrast, direct from the pot make for a great rust effect.

Your terrain videos are just the best. So much good advise. Keep it up!

Fantastic as always Vince! I'd be interested in seeing what you could do with some AOS / fantasy / medieval type terrain, a different beast indeed!

8:20: “we could stop here, but we won’t”. By now, I’m looking for these!

Yes! Thanks 🙏 I’ve been stuck on what to do with my terrain for ages!

This was a fantastic video Vince. Superb colour scheme and a great finish. Very "grimdark"! When I finally get my table and terrain built, this is the scheme and route I'm going to take. Keep up the incredible work!

Really like the zen terrain painting. Much appreciated, thanks for sharing and please stay safe.

Love it! Vince, you're a genius. Thanks for sharing!

Man I'm coming back and rewatching this and man this is awesome looking

Vince Venturella, the only man who can cook umber perfectly. Seriously though, I absolutely did what you said and tried to paint my terrain GW-perfect, and this just looks so much better. Excited to try this style!

Such a constant work. Vince Venturella is definitely master of hard work...

Well now I am EXITED to paint some terrain😮 well done Vince

Great tips! One way to potentially skip the airbrush step that I find very useful for terrain is to use two differently coloured rattle cans; one that you spray on from below (preferably darker) and one from above (preferably lighter). I find that depending on what colours you chose you'll get a pretty nice transition going that way which is way good enough for terrain once you've drybrushed and washed it.

I loooove your results! Definitely helped me finally decide on how to tackle my own terrain. As a side note: I realised that the name of a certain manufacturer of oil paints seems to pose a challenge to my non-German-speaking fellow hobbyists. Instead of "AB-telong" I seem to hear frequently, it's pronounced "ab-TAI-lung" instead. And that's the end of this service announcement.

I really love the color choices on this - I guess I am going to be ordering some more paints to add to my collection.

I love the dapper painter!

Thanks for a fantastic video, super clear and practical

Always appreciate your knowledge Vince... keep fighting the good fight brother.

Tbh this is very close to my method for doing terrain like this, except I started doing either airbrush, or on our rare good days, rattlecan spraying the metalics first. I find it easier to paint my grey/stone colour over the walls then. YMMV of course! Also if you're too nervous to do an oil wash, you can do pretty much exactly the same thing with an acrylic wash (with cheaper artist paints, not mini paints I mean) -- except it needs more direction, as it's not something you then wipe away like an oil wash. Lovely video as always - for someone who doesn't like doing terrain, you do it really well :D Love it!

Great tutorial Vince. Fantastic work and great coaching!

Great video! Thank you, Vince, and happy Easter :)

lobbing the Agrax 'No, throw that away' the comedic timing!

Always a new thing to learn. But today i'll take home that Vince loves streeking! 😉

Great video, will be painting my Sector Imperialis with these techniques! One suggestion though: would be nice to have a longer showcase of the finished model at the end of the video (like you have now at 18:26), where you'd show it from many different angles in all its glory - and for longer than a couple of seconds. Btw I recently got back into the hobby after a 15-year break, and I'm so glad I found your channel. Your videos are very inspiring and educative!

I just started Warhammer and I got really intimated by painting my terrain and this was seriously so helpful! Thank you!

Amaaaaazing tutorial. Great ideas for some terrain I have sitting around!

There are some honestly beautiful quotes in this video!

Brilliant, thanks! I wish you did this on the mausoleum kit for AoS. I’ve been stuck with it for a while since I want a quick and easy way to paint it 😭

I had to do a ton of these really quickly and felt similar about picking out all the metal bits and came up with this method. I primed with brown and then used a dry brush to pick out all the metal bits, sacrificing accuracy for speed at this stage. I then applied some chipping medium to all the metal parts and also randomly to other sections of the buildings. Then I sprayed a coat of dark grey over the entire building, applied another layer of chipping medium, and then some lighter grey to the intended grey sections. I then used a bit of wet sponge to re-expose the metal and some of the brown and darker grey and then finished by applying some washes and some final scratches/rust. The end result is obviously not as nice as using Vince's method but gives a reasonable result in exchange for minimal brushwork which might be handy to you if you have to mass produce a bunch of these at short notice.

Hey! I'm from Hungary, i don't own a drybrush, i don't have the living space to set up a booth, i don't have a yard to use rattlecans, i paint exclusively with brushes. I also don't have access to craft stores, there are some rather expensive artist stores for canvas painting and regular hardware stores where any kind of gardening type material comes in 20kg bags. Usually ordering most of these things online will double their cost due to shipping. This is not a complaint though, just because conditions aren't ideal is no reason not do something, its more to highlight that "all these things that are around us" doesn't work in every context. But! I do love painting terrain regardless, and i thought i would share my technique here. I started out by watching a GW guide with washes that put me off of painting any terrain for years but about half a year ago a friend of mine gave me half his garden of morr set. I didn't really know what to do with it, but i really liked how it looked, so i started looking and i found a video where a dude took a black primed wall section, put a generous amount of medium grey paint on a huge flat brush, dabbed some of it off and swirled it around the wall. He didnt dab it into all the recesses and the resut due to the not completely flat brick wall was some amazingly varied texture. He then went in with a light grey, dry brushed it and for his part he was done. I wasn't though. I needed some big brushes so went to the artist store where they sold these black cow ear-hair brushes, they were not cheap but not GW expensive and were very soft, so i got some and i picked up a brush from the hardware store that was designed to touch up wall painting (so still a rather large brush). I dabbed it into some Abaddon Black and worked it into the recesses and everything. You might point out that GW paint is expensive, but its actually less so due to being available right here and it took less than a pot to fully paint the set. Then i applied the technique and got the same results, i kinda liked it, the metal bits, skulls, ground parts and small plants around it gave it some variety. So i ordered an administratum building cause i mostly play 40k and did the same thing, however this time due to not painting all the trims (bleh) i didn't get so much variety. I looked at my washes and almost threw up from the thought. Instead i got out some drab green and brown paints, took the smaller cow brush, wiped it decently and dabbed on some dirt and moss, which was not enough, it kinda made it worse by removing some definition so i needed more chaos. I picked up some Skrag brown and another orange and i dabbed it all over the underlying metallic railing that i did paint a steel color. The machines on the walls i painted bronze though so i picked up some Nyhilak oxyde and smushed it all over, at this time intentionally streaking it to double as both leaked out cooland and verdigris. This was too stark though so i dabbed on some dark brown in and around them like grease which very nicely muted things down (also went back and did it a bit on the orange bits). For one final touch i dabbed Abaddon black all over the blown away parts to make them look charred. imgur.com/a/eMaWRKr I thought i would share this, regardless if you thought it was blasphemy, cause i strongly think that not having the best tools available should not be that strong an inhibiting factor by itself and yes, you do have to scale your expactations accordingly, but i'm fine with mine. Hope you don't mind!

Well this will be useful if I ever decide to break into that giant Imperial City box I bought about 20 yrs ago. Thankfully I don't think it has the crazy window grating of modern kits. Thanks as always for the helpful tips.

this is absolutely amazing

Terrain. I will be honest...I LOVE IT! Great video...so many good tips.

Vince you make it seem so easy! Awesome video :)

Really like the look of the finished building! Could you provide a rough list of the colors used (I saw Ice Yellow, Shadow Brown, some pigments, Vallejo Steel). Many thanks in advance and maybe some more terrain videos.

Brilliant this. Thanks for sharing!

I was just about to finish some terrain that came inside my kill team box, but somehow I got mind blocked, this is just what I needed. Thank you. And yes, the metal frame parts suck.

I really liked the look of this technique!

18:00 “there you go you have a great looking piece of terrain” . No , no , mine is still bare plastic. Yours is looking great! But thanks to you maybe mine will in the near future. This is the look I was looking for, thank you for all your great videos, my painting has evolved greatly since I started watching.

Wow, that was excellent. Thank you.

I have been sitting on my original Kill Team starter box terrain like this for years due to decision paralysis. I have painted a few walls to test schemes - never been happy. Then Vince comes along, apron waiving in the wind like a cape to save the ever loving day out of this terrain.

That's it, I'm getting myself an oil wash. I usually use the magic that is streaking grime as an overall wash, but some variation can't hurt.

Excellent video once again Vince! I too enjoy stabbing terrain, good for taking out some frustration, eh?

Fantastic. I cant help but feel just a bit of Nihilak oxide would have added so much !

Very cool way of painting terrain, i like it :).

Nice job! Some more terrain tutorials for wooden, adobe and stone buildings would be cool too.

Awesome video. Thank you 👍

The one place I thought perhaps you could have listened more to your own advice-fighting the impulse to regularity-is that the lower floor seems to follow the pattern of the upper floor, when I think my sense of ruined buildings is that I expect more damage-and perhaps more adventurous greenery?-at the top, but more staining and streaking at the bottom, especially in and across that stone area immediately below the upper floor. That said, utterly inspirational as always! Thanks for not stopping in those places where, well, you could stop, but…! :)

Dang Vince, this looks niceeeeeeeeee :-)

I Was waiting for such tutorial!

This has been helpful, was buried it two tables of terrain for an upcoming event I was commissioned for.

Another awesome tutorial, thanks!

Thank you for this. I was struggling with how to make my terrain interesting. Its so boring on the table.

I worked about 7 hours on my rampart terrain. It looks really great and i havent even yet applied the wash :) could you make a video about sector mechanicus / cobalt foundry / industrial terrain?

You are a saviour, I just have a pile of terrain waiting to be painted!

WOW!! Amazing work! 😲

I took fairly easy mode/lazy mode to the metalics. I just airbrushed it. Any overspray? Meh, so be it. But I had thinned contrast skeleton horde after the whole walls sections so it hid any thing too crazy bad. It's a good wait to practice trigger discipline. But I'll revisit it and add the oil wash as that'll really help it blend it all together.

very helpful! I am embarking on a quest to make the full city in the new warhammer quest. This will save me alot of time. One question I do have is when purchasing or printing terrain what little details do you suggest to add on a simple piece to make if feel more GW with all the details other than skulls and metal? Thank you again for all you do for the hobby!

Great effect, Vince

Hi Vince, Great Tutorial. Can you make tutorials for medieval terrain like Timber framing houses aswell?

This is still no silver bullet but i came up with a way to save some time on having to pick out all the intricate metal trim. Use alcohol or enamel based metal paint and apply it with a large drybrush or airbrush. Obviously, avoid overspilling where you can but don't worry too much about making mistakes - just smash it on as quick as you can. After it dries, take some alcohol or mineral spirits and wipe away where it is unwanted. Maybe this sounds like throwing two stones to kill one bird but since most of the metal parts protrude you will find that the overspill isn't that bad and i feel like this is quicker and easier than having to precisely pick out the individual parts. To do this, you would have to apply the metal before any oil washes but the oil wash Vince used in the example work okay for adding a rusty tone to the metal so you can save a bit more time by just slathering the whole thing with the one oil wash or use a different color oil/enamel wash to pick out the metals if you prefer.

Super nice weathering. If there only was a magic way for painting all that metal :P I hate those big windows, the brush never catches all the nooks and crannies.

Just started working on terrain that is on my knight bases, this REALLY helped. going for a "mars ruin" that my knights are stomping through. any suggestions on scorch marks on the top/edges of the blasted parts of the ruin/flowing out of windows?

Terrain just warms my cold heart. Awsome video. What do you think about the mission model paints?

Good video sir Vincey Vee!! U a good boy! 🐶🥰 hope u and u family have a happy Easter 🐣 ❤️

What kit is the terrain piece from?? That is a great piece. Great video and advice. I have to get my airbrush out of the basement and in the same room as my other painting area...

thanks for the great video! is there a reason why you use contrast instead of oils for the streaks?

It's so good Vince. Kinda sad that all terrain i painted for the club is really colorful, so i can't really try this technic, wouldn't really fit in overall aesthetic

Great stuff friend 👏 👍

great tutorial as always, would be great to see how you based the building? You might already have a video on this?

I think we've finally found Vince's merch tag: "If You Want You Can Stop Right There, But Of Course..."

Thanks Vince... where was this when I truly butchered my kill zone terrain a year or so ago...

Green Grey? Didn't she become Dark Phoenix? This is a great tutorial. I like messy, grungy paint styles; and oil washes are so cool.

Thanks for this Vince. I'm curious, would you recommend varnishing before the oil wash for this application?

Great video, lots of knowledge packed in. Is that a GW kit or a print? The detail is really nice.

Hello, thanks for the cool video. I wonder how do these mission model paints works for you with GW shades, agrax earthshade in particular? Because in my case the wash sometimes reacts with a paint, up to the point when the wash strips the paint.

Great Video ! What about varnish ? The usual mat varnish before the steel ?

Did you do anything specifically to 'seal' (activate?) the pigment, or did you simply let one of your coats of varnish take care of that? Also, thanks very much for this video!! I've got some terrain coming up. The advice you share help give me the courage to try new things!

Hey Vince, what starting colors variations would you use for Underhive themed terrain? Specifically the stack-able columns from the new kits.

Vince great video great guide what could you recommend for preserving this great piece of art, i mean so much effort went into it i heard ppl use matt or transparent varnish at the end to preserve is that true ? if not what would you recommend (i am new to this hobby )

Nice timing on this video, here I am, sitting with a fully built terrain-kit from GW, looking at my 3 months old airbrush and compressor that im too much of a pu*** to even try using, just watching youtube videos on amazing painters doing all of this with ease :D Im not jealous at all!

Hi Vince, I've watched this a few times already, but, what do you do for priming the inside of the building? It's hard to get a zenithal highlight when that floor/ceiling is in the way. Do you just leave let it stay pure black? I know we're not going to be really looking at the inside too much when we're playing, but I wasn't sure if there was an easy trick. Maybe dry brushing downwards?

Just what i needed, especially after thinking - "ill save some money and go mdf, this stuff is a bargain!" - and having the construction take sooooo long - so quick painting is now deffo order of the day. Terrain deffo also feels like those projects that you can happily go some of the way, play with it, then revisit as time allows

I wonder if adamantium rusts? This has to be the third time I've watched this this since yesterday, trying to soak up all the advice!

Great video! I know you don't varnish much, but did you do anything to lock in the pigment at the end?

I was just thinking the other day how much I'd love a terrain focussed honby cheating, since I want to fill a table at some point. Would you do anything differently for mdf? Maybe add structure by hand? I am unsure wether I like mdf buildings with structure paste on them or not. But without it all feels so flat

Your timing is impressive: just yesterday I took an old ruin out of the closet wondering how to do it justice. I am thinking of painting it as green marble (using the baby wipes tchnique) and covering it with some snow: do you have some advice? Happy Easter!

would just like to add that you can easily avoid speckling with spray cans. it all depends on humidity, temperature, quality of the spray and distance you're spraying from. and ofc shake them good :D. for those of us that don't have the option of getting an airbrush, we have to learn to make spray priming need perfect!

Vince im re watching this for like i dont even know what time cuz its pretty cool and chill , and i noticed that i got some primer thats way to expensive for terrain, what could you recommend as someone who knows and tested all kinds of primers i thought i should just ask u as i see ur methods they work )

big poppa vince comes in with another winner!

That bit of colour in the gray is fantastic! Did you not have to varnish prior to or after the oil wash ?

Great video Vince. Do you seal the terrain prior to the oil wash like you have in other oil wash videos? Any risk of the white spirit taking off any acrylic if you don't? Thanks!
