I painted an ENTIRE WARHAMMER ARMY in 48hrs!

Artis Opus paint brushes...are epic! - buy them here -

In this video I challenged myself to paint an ENTIRE Warhammer Army in 48 hours!
I have alot of part painted armies and made myself the challenge to paint the entire thing using my speed painting guide I previously uploaded here -

I also post regular updates on my Instagram and Tiktok

I painted the entire army using a process of speed painting - batch painting models and focusing on the same colours on each model until they were all done. This way of painting is super efficient and quick! The entire process took me just under 48hrs! All I have left to do is to base the models to match the rest of my army!

I used a mixture of Citadel Contrast Paints to lay down some base layers of colour, over a zenithal highlight colour. I then used some Enamel Paints and Some Oils paints to weather the models and make them look grimy and more realistic - ie Grimdark.
This style is also called Blanchitsu, which is named after the legendary Warhammer Artist John Blanche. This Death Guard Paint scheme is referred to as 'The Pallid Hand'

If you like the guide then please subscribe! Its free and motivates me to make more videos.
Why not use the guide to paint your own miniatures and get rid of your own backlog/pile of shame.

In this guide I paint -
3 Plague Burst Crawlers
3 Foetid Bloat Drones
3 Blight Haulers
3 Daemon Princes
2 Plague Surgeons
a Lord of Contagion
Typhus
Noxious Blightbringer
Tallyman
Putrifier
13 Blightlord Terminators
20 Plague Marines
2 Deathshroud Terminators

If you were after a cheap airbrush and compressor kit then this would be good -

I have huge pile of shame to work through; including lots of Age of Sigmar armies and Necromunda too! I will be painting all these in the next year!

This channel is about painting converting and kitbashing miniatures for your warhammer & d&d games, Age of sigmar and warhammer 40k games. I will maybe paint Space Marines, Space Wolves, Stormcast Eternals, cities of sigmar, chaos space marines, painting scale models or miniature busts in the future. I haven't ever tried How to paint NMM. I've done guides on how to paint warhammer, you could use them for how to paint d&D I may do a conversion guide for Darktide or Dark tide however it is spelled. And in the future I will build and paint some terrain for my miniature war gaming wargaming. I will be painting up the Dominion Box too! death guard painting painting death guard how to paint death guard streaking grime grimdark death guard slap chop death guard army painting warhammer painting painting plague marines warhammer 40k slayer miniatures pallid hand death guard chaos space marines new codex speed painting slapchop mortarion blightlord terminators painting nurgle miniature painting plague marines blanchitsu poxwalkers speedpainting speed painting how to paint miniatures streaking grime oil wash army showcase

"Do you think this'll motivate you to paint your own army?"

Dude, I just came here as one of many examples of how to use my new streaking grime wash because I haven't used it before, and not only does this motivate me to apply this technique to my own army (Knights), it's also having me seriously considering picking up some Death Gaurd models! GW should make an enamel range and hire you lol.

Good stuff, man. It's nice to see a vaguely achievable result now and then. Watching the god-tier mini artists putting out masterpieces is fun, but, frankly, this is more inspiring as I can actually see myself doing something like this without too much of a stretch.

Much appreciated.

[nofuxgivens]

Great job man. I've found with the AK stuff that you shouldn't wait too long to start pulling it away. It dries really fast compared to say just using oil paints thinned down. The airbrush makes it set faster as well. I've found that doing a tank 1 by one and regular models in a squad at a time. Its quicker to take the AK stuff off which saves a lot of time

[benalibi]

That's impressive. It took me 6 months to paint a goblin blood bowl team

The whole video is fantastic and excellent use of contrast paints. I hear a lot of people say how they aren't for "serious painters" and I keep seeing videos like this prove them wrong. Also, I will be adopting your airgun accuracy test for personal use :D

”Six hours into my speed paint” isn’t something you hear everyday 😆. Great work!

[rogue.guineapig]

Really awesome job! I like how you used contrast paints with enamels and oil washes together... that’s a pretty cool approach! I also liked how you trusted your process—that confidence was obvious and you knew it would work out and I think it shows. You’ve definitely given me some ideas—Thank you!

[Slashoom]

I love the pink plasma glow, glad you stuck with it.

[RyoCanCan]

This is great, really shows how far you can go with good priming and washy paints. Great job.

[outofthisworldmodelsandmin]

Dude that looks awesome! Love the color of the plasma glow! Happened by your video and have now subscribed. Can't wait to see more of your work!

[Bodhiscott]

Your death guard are some of the best models I’ve seen!

[drowgamer]

Super cool. I am totally bookmarking this to go back to as a Death Guard army is the next project on the books after I finish with Cursed City.

i want more of your content, it's so calming and really helpful

[CraigThomasBoyle]

Awesome job. I find with streaking grime you don't even need white spirit. Let it dry for like an hour and its still wet enough to just cotton bud off without spirits

[patot]

Letting you know I used this recipe of yours for my new Death Guard army and it turned out absolutely mint. Really appreciate your content.

[lemonardodavinci]

It is very interesting to see someone actually make good use of contrast paints. I understand now why they are useful, especially when speedpainting. Thank you very much, I consider myself educated! ;)

[lukeemmo]

havent painted models in years and this has inspired me to start again, just starting to get back into the hobby with some Dark angels. Already have 2000pnts painted but with all these new contrast and washes I can do id love to have a go at improving my army with some new stuff. Great video

[richardbradley]

stunning..though i hated the plasma charge glow

[loafbloke]

There were lots of good tips in this video! Your commentary made it very entertaining as well

[dragma]

Huge fan of the tutorial, might give those oil washes a go instead of citadel washes.
