painting chaos armor can be difficult
0:02
lots of trim lots of details I mean do
0:04
you paint the cow's armor first then do
0:06
the banding do you do the banding and
0:08
then do the armor to use metallics
0:10
shades contrasts so much now in this
0:13
video we're going to show you three ways
0:15
on how to do that and you can use this
0:17
and transfer it to any collection you
0:19
have in mind so whichever chaos armor
0:20
you choose to do following this will
0:22
help you out our first example is from a
0:25
black undercoat now the majority of this
0:26
model is gonna be dark metallic so it
0:28
makes sense to spray it black and here
0:29
we're using Army painter black as our
0:31
primer also if you want a super
0:33
efficient highlight I'd recommend dry
0:35
brushing at this point as well before
0:37
you apply on that gold and for this I'm
0:38
using a dark steel tone and for that is
0:41
iron Warriors
0:43
also if you're making mistakes down the
0:44
line you can always tidy back up this
0:46
paint if you need to that's most if you
0:48
get gold on the armor
0:50
now for the gold trim I'm going to be
0:51
using a gold or bronze tone as I got
0:53
here which is AK bronze now settle in
0:56
maybe make a cup of tea and then start
0:58
picking out all that Trim in some places
1:00
you may need a second coat as well
1:04
[Music]
1:12
[Music]
1:14
now at this point I suggest shading this
1:16
and I'm going to be using rack and Flash
1:19
shade here you could use gunman flash if
1:20
you want to but prefer the Rock and
1:21
flashy because it sinks into those
1:22
recesses nicely and it doesn't like dull
1:25
it down as well
1:26
[Music]
1:28
now I'm going to do the same on the
1:29
silver armor and for this we're using
1:31
known oil but now Dart you want it you
1:33
can always do a second coat
1:35
[Music]
1:39
with that gold now shaded what we're
1:40
going to do here is highlight both the
1:42
gold and the silver very lightly and for
1:44
this we're using oily steel and doing a
1:46
gentle dry brush all over so that's our
1:48
first example done and actually
1:50
highlighting the blacks pretty quick
1:51
because you can do that with the first
1:52
stage really and whether that's metallic
1:54
black or like a blue black or a gray
1:55
black can tell up to you
1:57
highlight the gold probably not so bad
1:58
because you can draw that all at the end
2:00
it's just picking out the goal that
2:01
takes ages Less on this chaos chosen
2:03
more so on actually the 40K legionnaires
2:06
they have a lot of gold banding on them
2:08
so that will take a lot longer speaking
2:10
of legionnaires we've got one right here
2:12
right now and we're using this for our
2:14
gold spray version so I've undercoated
2:16
this with AK gold as our primer and then
2:19
I'm just going to coat all over very
2:20
heavily with rifle and flesh shade and
2:22
that's just going to do all that shade
2:24
and then detail work for you and then
2:26
when it's dry if you need to in some
2:27
areas you want to punch out the gold a
2:28
bit so if you've undercoated with AK
2:30
just get AK gold if you've used like
2:32
retributor armor get some retributed
2:34
armor for this as well but mostly you
2:36
don't need to do this part so the next
2:38
thing we're going to do now is just
2:39
highlight that armor I'm using oily
2:41
steel here I'm just going to do a light
2:42
dry brush and with that done your gold
2:45
trim is pretty much finished
2:50
the trim done it's now time to color in
2:53
those armor plates depending on your
2:54
chosen chaos God you can use any color
2:57
here I'm opting for black as it's very
2:59
reminiscent of the legions of archaeon
3:01
and Aladdin's boys so I'm using black
3:03
Legion now you can use it straight from
3:04
the pot like I've done here on this
3:06
shoulder pad but you just have to be a
3:07
bit neat when you get to the edges the
3:08
last thing you want to do is undo all
3:10
that dry brushing and washing from the
3:12
previous stages
3:13
or you can thin it down I've thinned it
3:15
down a little bit here so it's like
3:17
three parts water to one part black
3:18
Legion and the reason for doing that is
3:20
when you apply it it runs to the edges
3:22
but gives you a nice border so it
3:25
doesn't actually flow over the top so
3:27
you do that with your first coat your
3:28
board is kind of done and then you just
3:30
fill in the middle bits and again you
3:32
can use some thin down coat to build it
3:33
up or just use it straight from the pot
3:34
and tile it to you
3:35
[Music]
3:42
with the black armor now done we're now
3:45
going to highlight it up and for this
3:46
I'm going to start off by using
3:48
protocols blue black as our first
3:50
highlight can be quite chunky at this
3:52
point as well so don't worry if you'd
3:53
like a bit wibbly wobbly like I've been
3:54
here doing the edge of the armor it's
3:56
fine you can put those out but when you
3:57
get to where the banding is you just
3:59
want to pick out some of those areas as
4:00
well
4:07
then when needed get some black Legion
4:08
and just tidy back up again if your
4:11
highlights are just too thick and chunky
4:12
you can just make them a bit thinner
4:13
don't make them too thin mined because
4:15
you want to make some space when you do
4:17
your next highlight
4:19
our next highlight here is going to be
4:21
wolf gray and I want to make this a
4:22
little bit thinner just so you get a bit
4:24
more punch and it's just a nice tone to
4:25
really help bring out that Bluey black
4:27
again just little bits here and there
4:29
little flicks just picking out the edges
4:30
don't go too mad
4:40
thank you
4:46
so this method is certainly quicker from
4:47
a trim point of view and also I guess
4:50
blocking out the armor isn't too tedious
4:52
either it's when it comes to
4:53
highlighting the arm if you've got lots
4:54
of highlights you've got all that
4:55
interior on the trim as well that's
4:56
where your time spent so the first one
4:58
pretty quick from an armor point of view
5:00
this one pretty quick from a trim point
5:02
of view
5:03
so let's see what number three brings to
5:05
us
5:07
so for our third version we're starting
5:08
with a silver undercoat for this I've
5:10
used leadbell chip again any silver will
5:12
do as long as it's like a mid to dark
5:14
kind of turn of silver it's fine so our
5:16
first step of this is just to coat all
5:18
over with noon oil again you can use
5:19
basilicon and gray thin down any of the
5:21
washers you've got inks doesn't really
5:22
matter you just want to get some of that
5:24
definition picked out with a nice wash
5:25
when that's dry I'm just going to get
5:27
some oily steel and just lightly dry
5:29
brush picking out those edges now this
5:31
will also do two things it's going to
5:32
highlight that silver but also give you
5:34
a little bit of a pre-highlight when you
5:35
start doing the gold which we'll do in a
5:37
second or two
5:38
now for the goal we're going to pick
5:39
that out with some yellowy contrast here
5:41
I'm going to use NASDAQ yellow I could
5:43
try Eggos Dunes some of the lighter
5:44
yellows I think will be a bit too
5:45
comical so I'll avoid those just be
5:48
careful take your time and if you make
5:49
any mistakes you can always tidy back up
5:51
with some lead Belcher or iron hand
5:53
steel just on some of those panels if
5:54
you do get any gold or yellow should I
5:57
say on there now depending if you picked
5:59
a color here or not what you could do is
6:00
just get a dry brush of silver and just
6:02
gently pick out over all those edges
6:03
which is one option or you can just
6:06
leave it and I'm just going to leave it
6:07
because I think it looks fine so we are
6:09
it's a really quick and efficient way of
6:10
doing gold trim on silver armor again
6:12
that is just using contrasts and shades
6:15
to your advantage and a bit of dry
6:16
brushing now if you wanted to pick a
6:18
chosen God we're just going to quickly
6:20
do one with some red and for this we're
6:22
going to be using flesh Tears red and do
6:24
a coronate themed chaos chosen Warrior
6:26
again you can apply this to 40K or age
6:28
of Sigma or anything don't really matter
6:29
so what I'm going to do here is just get
6:31
some flesh Terrors red coat that over
6:33
the armor panels and again just be
6:34
mindful not to get that close to the
6:36
edges because you'll get that on the
6:37
NASDAQ yellow do fun that happen just
6:39
get some oily steel or whatever silver
6:40
you've used tidy back up that trim just
6:43
here and there and then just reapply a
6:44
little bit of nasdoretic yellow you
6:45
won't look too weird it will just
6:47
literally hide any mistakes that you've
6:49
got and this is just another option it's
6:51
technically 3.5
6:54
3.8 I don't know it's it's an extra
6:57
option on top of the third I don't I
6:59
don't do maths it's just an eruption oh
7:01
yeah it looks cool that was red who
7:04
doesn't like red and gold
7:05
should be
7:08
so there we are a couple of examples of
7:11
different ways of painting chaos element
7:12
there's no right or wrong way here I
7:14
mean there are different ways for time
7:16
uh what you want how much effort you
7:17
want to put in so the first one's great
7:19
for like you know time you've got loads
7:21
of time and you want to put a bit more
7:22
effort into your army if you want
7:23
speedier methods the last two are
7:24
probably better for speedier methods but
7:26
again depends on the color scheme
7:27
depends on what you want to do and what
7:29
you want to get out of it so I hope
