How to paint Evil Sunz Ork Nob by Lester Bursley

[kdillie1]

nice job man.... now do that 400 more times... i hate playing orcs..

[strapinhotpockets]

I love what u did with your orks but from my lack of experience (just painted 3 models before) you sprayed the primer from too close a distance and it could potentially dry and mold out the very tiny details. i put a box facing sideways and hold the figure in side there and spray from a far a few times from a far. just something to note from the very little painting knowledge i have though

[awesomepaintjob]

@strapinhotpockets Thanks for the tip. There is a big difference between airbrush priming and aerosol priming. I was airbrushing the primer, at optimal distance, and no detail was lost.

[Mesthor]

How well does acrylic paint adhere to gloss varnishes? .

[syderwarp]

Uhh no yellows or Sunz?



[swindle2345]

@syderwarp i think you mean bad moons, they are yellow xD

[syderwarp]

@swindle2345 uh no Look At the Codex Evil are yellow red , hence the key word "SUN" common color used YELLOW!

[awesomepaintjob]

@syderwarp seems uncommon to see yellow except for the little flame designs. Most of the reference pictures I see of the Evil Sunz, models are painted 90% red with little flames in yellow here and there. Maybe that is wrong but people modified the scheme to look less like McDonalds. Yellow is a pain to a lot of people to paint so that could be a factor also.

[syderwarp]

@awesomepaintjob maybe Less, but I like the yellow coats I put on mine very simple, and come very bright/Cartoony after dipping. IMO

[MyFlatface]

where did you get the base ??

[Bacms]

What type of brush did you use to remove the liquid mask? I am having trouble to get rid of it of all the brush I own only the citadel stippling brush seems to be able to lift if but it is so hard sometimes it evens get the primer off as well. Any help is highly appreciated since I have 50 boyz on the desk on this step at the moment.

[comissar1998]

@Bacms try an army painter drybrush and remember it shouldnt go off instantly it might take a while

[Bacms]

@comissar1998 Thank you for the suggestion. You are the second person suggesting that brush so I might give it a try. At the moment I found a stiff brush on a art store and it seems to be doing a good job. Although I managed to ruin a few models in the process by removing large chunks of primer. Will need to retouch them before varnishing.

[comissar1998]

@Bacms Np bud... for rthe primer problem i would do this step when your other colors are on the primer and then give it a varnish coat good brands are vallejo, reaper, and citadel and if you have na airbrush spray em

[comissar1998]

@Bacms by the way the stippling brush is like steel bristles lol it will rip skin off thats an ovbious paint destroyer lol

[antchuck]

Awesome painted mini

[lorendorky]

Is there a reason for gloss varnish over matte when you are applying it at 17:43?

[antchuck]

@lorendorky I think this is done to protect the work done so far before washing. As Les said in the vid, he is using mineral spirit to both thin the wash and clean the model later. This could harm the acrylic paints without the gloss coat. I see painters often using glass coat before washing to make wash flow better on the mini. Or so they claim ;)

[HaunterV]

Is a sponge the best for liquid mask? could you dry brush it on? or does that not apply enough of it?

[mccristall11]

do u need to airbrush? or can you just paint the rust and stuff on? :)

[warhammer40kiss]

@mccristall11 Hand paint will do. Though if you dont thin the paints and put it in several layers you will destroy the mini.

I personally have an airbrush and it's awesome! you ccan basecoat likte 20 marines in 1-4 minutes!

[mccristall11]

@warhammer40kiss gettin airbrush for christmas now but thanks for the advice anyway :)



[mccristall11]

where can i find mineral spirits and black oil wash in the uk?

[mccristall11]

what airbrush do u use? be specific please :)

[folkrace4life]

As a co-modelmaker, why vallejo ? please answer

[SmogHouseTradingCo]

@folkrace4life Vallejo has a very high pigment content and uses small amounts of very high quality medium. Cheers!

[warhammer40kiss]

@folkrace4life Because it's personal taste.

Use whatever brand your confortable with, keep in mind that this is not the only way of painting. you can do it however you want.

wanna use gw paints? Go ahead.

[Reubin100]

That Liquid Mask from Vallejo, when you use the stiff brush does it only remove the red you put over the Mask itself? Because if so I might get a bottle, I've been trying to perfect a weathering effect.

[Eldormen]

What thngy is it you have stuck to the boys fot?

[awesomepaintjob]

@Eldormen it's a pin vice.

[Eldormen]

@awesomepaintjob so you just drill it in the fot and it will stay?

[HaunterV]

@awesomepaintjob so you pinned the foot? That's Genius. if you made some sort of stand/holder you could have several models on teh go without letting them touch anything.

[Silverpandablood]

@silverpandabood nvm didnt see credits

[Silverpandablood]

Whats the song? It be epic. Waaaagghh

[taterlok]

thats amazing work man

[LoLIceCream123]

Red goes fasta!

[EZclanrecords]

hi, i love your tutorials!

but just a question, how do you make your black oil wash? or is it something you buy?

[seanmitchell1]

Hi Les, Fantastic job and has helped me so much when painting my nephews Orks for him. After reading the comments, I was wondering if you could recommend what kind of underwear you use? I don't feel comfortable in mine at the moment. ;)

[critcole]

where do u get ur paints?

[MrMozskeeto]

I am colour blind...so i see a big red blob haha

[TheFinalSaint]

I like this new tutorial layout. Makes it a bit easier to follow and understand, especially if your new like me =D

[MegaBabybuddha]

what colours should i use from GW?

[SoulDrinkers1001]

ah , this will come in handy lad

[Theicemonkeyjr]

Wow i was about to say that bloody red just overpowers everything you just painted then you made it awesome-er :D

[manchusabre]

I've checked out your site. Can you start mentioning what size brush your using along with the color?

[awesomepaintjob]

@manchusabre Don't worry about the brush size. Use what's comfortable. The brush you use is personal. It's like me telling you what kind of underwear to wear. But so you know, I use a size 0 from about 4 different brands as shown in my Brushes video.

[manchusabre]

@awesomepaintjob Cool, Thanks. I will check it out. I just started checking out your channel and painting minis. I have been using GW paints and they seem to dry quick on brush. Do you have any suggestions or vids on this type of problem?

[aBigtubeofLube]

Wow this is sweet, ive read abunch of lore on this stuff and played some games and I have decided to start this hobby, is there any tips you can give me?

[bl00dwatters]

Do a how to convert sereies plz

[dunk1978banker]

Great vid Les as always love your art work here bro. Quality mate.

[Stvhen]

Dude, you sound hella badass when you paint, loL!

[Stvhen]

Where can I buy the Black Oil? Thats so cool...

[Diablo8900]

Can't wait for the Grey Knights tutorial! Gonna be sweet!

[dsrrichter]

Thin it with and ratios.

[dsrrichter]

Wip

[dsrrichter]

Do you you spray the gloss varnish straight or what do you thin it w

[awesomeungi]

Hey Lester, I was wondering, do you blend your paint with anything else or just use it straight out of the bottle, 'cause I'm having some trouble with the Vallejo paint. Its to thin and doesn't cover anything when I use it. Please reply.

[cheesychaosmonkey]

@anotherhack69 every one sucks when they start warhammer, you get better as you go along, also if your just starting don't watch the tutoriol until you think you can take on a harder tutorial like this. ;)

[Anotherhack69]

I was thinking about getting into this hobby but now, I dunno, it looks so complex. Please tell me you had no art background and sucked when you started, it would give me hope LOL.

[MegaZalmon]

What do you use to get rid of mold lines?

[Jbickley00]

If people are afraid of using oil washes, you can accomplish the same workability with an acrylic glazing liquid. I use golden acrylics glazing fluid. Basically you mix your wash color with ten parts glazing fluid. You can thin additionally with water for flow control. The Glazing Fluid has an extender in it that lengthens the working time, so you can do some wipe-off techniques.

Oils have the disadvantage of being solvent based, but its a simpler way to go.

Great video

[kentzz]

Great video! Love your work and would love to see more orc painting!

[Abbta1]

do u collect an army or are you just painting them?

[warhammer40kiss]

@Abbta1 He has some armies! I think he has a very big Warriors of chaos army! :D

[Ralphhoss]

That is an amazing JOB!! wow

[devilkhan8]

@awesomepaintjob can u please do grey knights

[Meentanker]

@awesomepaintjob Hey Les remember me i commented on your space marine video before i deployed to Iraq well I'm here in the sand box and i wanted to say your tutorials have made my game so much better thanks . even tho i cant paint over here because of all the missions i do and the fast tempo over here im saving my money to get a big army when i get back and really take your videos to heart and show them off you videos help time go by faster in the sandbox and i only have 10 months Thanks Les

[genomyoshida]

I'm about to start painting and was curious about two things - when you use a mask do you just go with one thin layer before taking it off? And what is a good way to keep my washes from staining the base layer too badly/puddling? Great videos for starting painters by the way.

[xecu7i0ner]

do you dilute the liquid mask? anyone know?

[Papaken0]

Very nice Les! I just wanted to say that your videos inspired me so much that I started to paint miniatures. I have a question; when you dilute your vallejo colors with water, do they sometimes split up or don't mix well? Or is it just me? Thanks.

[Jriv193]

If we give credit, can we use your music in our own videos?

[awesomepaintjob]

@Jriv193 Yes

[slicksamo1337]

which model of badger airbrush do you use?

[jkinker]

Awesome! I just started to build an Evil Sunz Speed Freaks army, so I'm really happy you did this vid. Maybe a stupid question, but how do you make the Oily Wash, and did you let it dry before rubbing off the excess with min spirits? Thanks!

[mastermaximus11]

I've been waiting for this!!!

[GirlPainting]

like always, a tutorial on the high end of the scala :)

[MrLittleJumbo]

Awesome to see the videos are up and Kickin!

Great stuff!

[washaway]

It's very shaky and hard to focus. I know you have to speed it up but is there a way to keep it more still while you paint?

[mezuga]

excelent tutorial.. thanks.

[MoWoRollOut]

great video but pre-roll adds really sucks :(((

[Dictator4life06]

Great work. I always become inspired by your work.

[clownxfart]

when you make your vids, please turn off frame blending in your editor, it looks bad.

[awesomepaintjob]

@clownxfart only in 1080p it looks bad because it was compressed again in Sony Vegas to get sound in the video. Adobe Soundbooth took a dive on me so I had to work with what I had.

[clownxfart]

@awesomepaintjob When you fast forward or "squish" the video vegas, and some other video software, it tries to blend the extra frames into each other. In other words, resample them. Essentially when ever the source frame rate is higher than the output, it might try to do this by default. This creates a ghosting effect seen in your videos. Here's an example if I'm not explaining it well enough: eugenia.queru.com/images/pf24.­jpg

There shouldn't be any reason to have it on.

[THELARANANG123]

@awesomepaintjob what paints from gw do you use

[Jkos1980]

Nice, I will try these techniques, will you ever do a video of a non GW model?

Ps. Like the format of the video, keep up the good work

[Skullchaser08]

He said dome Privateer Press is on the way iirc.

[kamniks]

amazing as always, so talented as this type of thing. Learnt a lot!

[Arbornoctua]

Great tutorial. Have you done anything to this vid? Yesterday it says, "This video is not available in your country."

[awesomepaintjob]

@Arbornoctua I uploaded this video like I usually do with my others and people in Germany were PMing me saying it was blocked. But I'm glad you can see it now.

[Skullchaser08]

Germany is third in the world ranking of censorship.

Only North Korea and China are still ahead.

[ManusCelerDei]

thanks les! i've watched this video several times now and i've really enjoyed it and learned from it! top 'how to' :D

[cynik45ACP]

golden demon quality!

(see what I did there?)

[IDICBeer]

Wow!! That truly is an AWESOME video! Fantastic stuff Les, The beginning bit was a bit mind boggling at first, but as soon as you got the brush out it all started to make sense. Lots and lots of techniques I never even knew existed in there. Wow, makes my basic brush work look so amateur, great stuff.

[griffinthemad]

I wanna paint like you when I grow up lol

[raznny]

What was that black oil wash you used at the end? Is it possible to wash acrylic washes off in a similar manner?

[mkingy1]

Great job!

[FearGFX]

the new sound is really good les! awesome job!

[jimeronimo]

I'm still clueless why the use of satin and gloss varnishes between layers of paint.. Don't understand that yet. If the prior payer of paint is dry, why the need to seal it which is what I assume it's for..

[awesomepaintjob]

@jimeronimo Many reasons. It brings down the peaks caused by airbrushing and helps blend the different colors together. It protects the paint so if you make a mistake, alcohol can be used to clean without worrying about damage. Satin versus gloss depends on the effect. For washes matte or satin is good for filtering but for lining details gloss is the best. You don't have to do the varnish steps but I don't do it for fun, there are reasons behind it.

[jimeronimo]

@awesomepaintjob I know there is a reason why you do every little thing.. Just trying to learn and understand it. Thanks for the awesome vids and the time to respond bud.. Wish I could come paint with ya some time.. LOL. 

[terrenord]

@awesomepaintjob Do you have to use a varnish from a hobby store, or is there something at a hardware store that can do. I'm just wondering if the hobby shop stuff is really different or is it just packaged different.

[BunkerTube1]

Hey Les,

Awesome job once again and of course i have learned something from you AGAIN!

Going to pop down to the local and have a serious look at this vallejo gear. you can really do some great stuff with it!

[MrWraithwing]

YAY your back!! hoorah! enjoyed it, great stuff. thanks man

[TheCelsork]

Great work luv it. Thank you for making an ork video.

[Jedijim252]

Really great tutorial, Les...your camera close ups are fantastic...Mold lines aren't that obvious to me, when the minature is two inches from my nose!...If I tried to put that many layers on a model, it would have to join my swamp monster army :)...thanks for putting another great vid together for us...Jim.

[AnixSG]

What size brush did you use?

[awesomepaintjob]

@AnixSG Damn you! LOL

[elmirBDS]

Where did you get those awesome bases. They might be very suitable for a deathguard army as well...

[awesomepaintjob]

@elmirBDS Secret Weapon Miniatures. They are called "Bone Fields".

[reeree405]

Thanks for sharing your talent, it is instructional and fun to watch. I really like the music too.

[Pinap93]

Amazing, finally something different from SMs :)

[MegaBambooboy]

Good to see you back and still on top form, quality vid!

[masterslowpoke]

Do you have to thin the VMC varnishes before using them in an airbrush? If so, what do you thin them with?

[awesomepaintjob]

@peteboyle1990 You are correct!

[awesomepaintjob]

@SkartoothStudios Oil Paint thinned with mineral spirits.

[billy2cold]

Masterfully done!! May I ask a novice question? How and what did you use as a part holder? Thanks

[awesomepaintjob]

@billy2cold Thanks! A pin is glued into the foot and I used a pin vice to hold the pin.

[UselesswizarD]

Hey Les, do you find that the multiple layers of varnish do not cause loss of detail? I mean, that's a lot of extra layers of material you're putting on and my experience has always been that varnish layers need to be fairly heavy\ to be effective at protecting the mini.

[awesomepaintjob]

@UselesswizarD Not at all. The airbrush lays the layers on thin. And my switch to using oil washes and mineral spirits don't eat through the varnish like windex or alcohol.

[salamandersm]

Great video- thanks for posting! The liquid mask trick is especially nice

[oacupsocial]

What's Black Oil Wash, and how do you use Clear Coat with an airbrush? Anything special?

Thanks

[awesomepaintjob]

@oacupsocial Oil paint thinned with mineral spirits. Clear Coat is sprayed just like the paint. Thinned when necessary.

[linkinhearts666]

Fantastic tutorial as always my friend

Great stuff mate!

~Ghost

[reeree405]

Bomb Diggity!!!!

[ARodriguez258]

Neat trick with the liquid mask! I'm going to have to give that a try some time.

[SetsunaKai5]

@awesomepaintjob whats your mix ratio(and thinner) on the Vallejo bloody red through your airbrush?

it always comes out too watery for me

[awesomepaintjob]

@SetsunaKai5 Thinned to the consistency of milk.

[LumpiaRoll206]

Aircraft Military painter + Warhammer 40k models = EPIC paint job son!*

[noisemaker111]

Lookin' great!



[warhammer40kiss]

Finally.... FAIL!!

[warhammer40kiss]

Not a spacemarine!?!

Finaly!!

[legoguy275]

@warhammer40kiss he is out of black reach models lol

[warhammer40kiss]

@legoguy275 hehe xD :P

[RustiBones]

At long last a APJ vid! I'm a die hard space marine guy but I gotta say that I enjoyed this one. I like the masking/chip technique, might have to try a combo of post painting chips with the masking and see how that goes.

[LordThoriner]

Now awesome,

Go paint a Green Tide army to the exact same level :P

Great vid mate really enjoyed it. Needed a final pic of finished product though.

[awesomepaintjob]

@LordThoriner Hehe. The final picture is in the beginning.

[Kahhay]

Questions on the Vallejo Black Primer:

You place in into the air brush was it?

If so, wouldn't that clog the air brush rather easy as primer paint itself thicker?

Did you dilute the primer by chance also?

[ieuanm]

@Kahhay Vallejo do a pre Model Air Primer for direct use, or just dilute primer with your desired medium to the correct thinkness

[awesomepaintjob]

@Kahhay No. The primer used was designed for airbrushing and no dilution was necessary.

[corneaterz]

Song link download?

[dwarfmaster007]

@corneaterz just bootleg it lol

[awesomepaintjob]

@corneaterz it's in the description now :)

[corneaterz]

@awesomepaintjob thanks

[DarkEldarHomestead]

Sweet Video. Thanks.

[ManusCelerDei]

no final completed image? sad face

[porcu12345]

@ManusCelerDei

they were at the start of the vid

[ManusCelerDei]

@porcu12345 ah so they were thanks

[snarlton1]

Very Nice work, thanks for the tip on the goggles. I will be using that on all my Cygnar stuff, speaking of which. Can you do some warmachine sometime?

[awesomepaintjob]

@snarlton1 Thanks! Warmachine stuff is in the works.  I'll be starting PP stuff by doing jacks and warbeasts from the different factions.

[snarlton1]

@awesomepaintjob Oh Man I can't wait to see what you do with your jacks! Thanks for getting back to me.

[TheMichaelOconnor]

really liked this one. Nice to see you change things up and use some heavier brush work. Result is fantastic as always. Keep up the great work :)

[polarbehr]

I really dig the masking technique.

[TheDigitalComa]

Well If you want to know about brushes watch his video "Miniature Painting Fundamentals 1 :BRUSHES by Lester Bursley 

[avicenna799]

Why the oil based wash this time as opposed to water based?

[awesomepaintjob]

@avicenna799 Good question. And the answer is control. With the oils I have time to move the wash around and clean up is easier. Once you use oil washes you will never use anything else.

[Rockingdude1990]

When you dry-brushed gunmetal how much did you use-I really like this method so far

[awesomepaintjob]

@Rockingdude1990 A normal drybrush load. Enough to apply the paint but not so much as to create brush strokes.

[Rockingdude1990]

@awesomepaintjob Cheers Mate :)

[GeneralChaos40k]

Orks! Hell yahs! but one question Black Oil Wash? How? Where?

[InTheCoalShed]

@GeneralChaos40k I think it's made from artist oil and mineral spirit sometimes called white spirit.  That's the stuff people use to clean brushes when painting. It's also the stuff he uses to clean the mini leaving it only in the cracks. It's an amazingly cool, I'm going to use that on my next project

[mynewgroove]

LESSSSS YOU'RE BACK!!!!!!!

[boogeyman85k]

Hey, Les! I'm a big fan of your work, but I used to love "brush" tutorials more than "airbrush" ones, a lot of people haven't got one. I want to say that they become more difficult with all this advanced techniques and hints with airbrush. It is interesting to watch, but, for example, noob like me can't achieve at least approximately the same result with brush as you with your airbrush.

Anyway, nice video as always. I really loved the assembly part in the beginning.

Cheers!

[Fronken89]

@boogeyman85k There was a poll on what he should do for his tutorials, in which the majority of people wanted Les to do the tutorials in the style he does all his mini's, and the other option, which were "only brush" didnt get nearly as many votes.

That's why he uses a mix of airbrush and brush :)

[boogeyman85k]

@Fronken89 thanks for the information, didn''t know about that

[awesomepaintjob]

@boogeyman85k Thanks, but as said before I did a poll and people voted for advanced techniques. I would never make a big tutorial change without talking to my subscribers about it first.

[1madhammer]

And because no-one else has done it yet... WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAGH!

[1madhammer]

I like the way you showed the assembly and clean-up - please do more of them in future vids!

[awesomepaintjob]

@1madhammer Glad you liked it and I plan to :)

[thewizard99]

@SkartoothStudios I think its one of his own Washes he is using. its on his channel how to make them.

[guyamus]

that base looks more like something nurgle would use, it's great to see you're back and up and running again les anyway
