Star Wars Imperial Assault Painting Guide Ep.40: Snowtroopers 

Sees a new Sorastro video, watches it. Looks to the Stormtroopers to his left and thinks "I shouldn't be watching this yet". *continues to watch because Sorastro*

Thank you so much for another incredible tutorial. There's no way these snow troopers would've came out as good as they have if it weren't for this video. Easy to follow, therapeutic, and well edited.

Each time I receive a notification that Sorastro has uploaded a new video I feel like I've been given a present :-) Thank you for all that you do. Truly inspirational!

Always a great day when I get a notification that you've posted a new video. Amazing work, as usual.

Keep up the good work! And give us much much much more videos ! You are so back with painting new figures and expansions

This is the tutorial I have been waiting for. Brilliant.

Love these videos man. Every time I play this game I keep telling myself I need to get on to painting these!!

Thank you so much! I could watch you paint all day!!!

Yet another utterly sublime tutorial :-D Like most modelers, I find painting and highlighting white to be a nightmare, as it's such a huge colour when used over most of a figure/vehicle, and sometimes even shading/weathering can ruin the finish. Like with your Stormtrooper/Scout tutorials, this is THE finest example I've seen in many years of how do to it right. I love how you use slightly yellow highlights for the white armour, something I use often, as white armour does go slightly yellow due to the effects of light on it, as well as a good use of directional lighting. I can honestly say that your videos have blown me away far too many times to count now, and I await each new one with bated breath. Honestly cannot wait to see your tutorial on the upcoming Darth Maul and Ahsoka Tanno releases that are coming out around September. I'd also like to see you do a tutorial or two on painting the droids that have been released, especially the different colour schemes you can do for the astro-mech droids (R2 units) and even the protocol droids. Please keep up the good work, and I'll ALWAYS join you for the final highlight parts of your videos, as they really do show just how a few little extra details can make even a squad of figures stand out from the crowd. Thanks again for a wonderful tutorial :-) All the very best Paul :-D

I love watching your paint vids more than any other

Using this to inspire my legion squad. Is love to see an updated video

Awesome as always, keep up the good work. Would love to see you do a new series painting the new Warhammer 40k starter set.

wow, once again, you sir, are a genius!

great vid! i will use it for Legion snowtroopers

The painting skill is strong in this one...

Another helpful video thank you

Hes videos are so good I trully went tru a lot of hes videos and Im becoming a patreon end of the week so I hope people try and do the same if you can aforth to. Not only is hes tips easy to understand and a well done job......you can clearly see how good he is with the camera and sound.... I do not know the technical term of people that do camera and sound work for a living but you can tell the video and sound and editing is as good as the painting or even more. Sorry about my bad english. Good job sir.

As always, thanks for a great tutorial. Can Lahmian Medium be substituted for the Vallejo Glaze Medium, or are there particular properties that make the Vallejo a better choice for wet blending?

Some top notch whites, great job.

So first off, I love your channel and always look forward to all your videos. I’m fairly new to this hobby and I just picked up some snowtroopers for Legion. Forgive me for my ignorance but I was wondering..would it make sense to base coat the troopers first with Zandri Dust and then with Corax White? I used the method shown for my Imperial Assault figures, and they look awesome (so thank you!) but I want the ones for Legion to have the clothing more brown, like they are on the box art. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

Sorastro, first off big fan and love watching your work. I was just wondering if your going to be getting into the Fallout Wasteland Warfare once it comes out. Keep up the good work!

Hi Sorastro, I really love your art work and I really wanted to ask you something:) what kind of tools do you usually use when you're doing very small details? :)

@Sorastro I doubt if you'll see this but if you somehow do - why start with the nuln oil all over the trooper? I followed along and it seemed like you just painted over everything that the shade hit except for the eyes

Hey Sorastro, is the wet blending on the cloak done with the brush loaded with water, or are you simply mixing the existing paint (that's already on the model) while it's still wet enough?

If I want to go for a non-weathered look, closer to the original movies, do you think going with straight screaming skull or one of the other off whites is appropriate for the cloak and clothing and regular white for the helmet & armor? Without heavy weathering how would you approach shadowing the cloak since it is white while avoiding the grimey look? Thanks love your stuff!

Would you (Sorastro or anybody else who's tried out both paints) recommend Valhallan Blizzard or Mourn Mountain Snow if you had to decide between them for all snow-themed miniatures?

i'm always amazed by how you use colours for mixing , does glaze medium help with paint drying and feathering ?

Awesome work ! Why you didnt use a wet pallet ?

This guide is great! I think I'm going to use it to help me paint up the Star Wars: Legion Blizzard Force Starter Pack, but this makes me curious, do you have any tips for painting the Hoth Defender rebels? I think maybe the most difficult part is figuring out the right blend for the beige parts of their uniforms.

How long do you wait for the wash to dry? I've read it can take 24 to 48 hours. Do you wait that long?

Any play to cover the upcoming Game of Thrones miniatures game?

You make it look…all too easy. Thanks.

I was wondering, what is the white spray on primer that you use

I'm not too familiar with the Lahmian Medium. What does it do exactly?

Watching this makes me want to never paint my own figures cause i know i'll never have them look as good as they do in these videos!

Anyone else using this guide for Star Wars Legion? Models look almost identical... lol
