Like the scenery? I show how to build it in this guide: • Scenery with Sorastro:...
Paints used:
Deck Tan (VMC)
Stormhost Silver
Ceramite White
German Uniform (VMC)
German Grey (VMC)
Leadbelcher
Nuln Oil
Black (VMC)
Typhus Corrosion
Rhinox Hide
Athonian Camoshade
Agrax Earthshade
Red Rust (Secret Weapon)
Orange Rust (Secret Weapon)
The Secret Weapon paints can be bought here with international shipping: goo.gl/4gkcxL
Also:
Brown Earth basing paste (Vallejo)
Testors Dullcote matte varnish
Fine Leaf Foliage by Woodland Scenics (Olive)
Javis Fine Turf (mostly the Mid Green colour, but also some of the Dark and the Light)
For an alternative to using the Secret Weapon rust paints, here's how you can mix something very close with Citadel colours: For Orange Rust you can use Skrag Brown mixed with a little Yriel Yellow, and for Red Rust you can use Rhinox Hide - either on its own or for a really close match you can mix in a little Wild Rider Red.
Bruses used for this video: Rosemary & Co Series 33 Size 2, and Series 56 Size 6.
Any palette will do but this is the main palette that I use: amzn.to/2wre2TS

I'm glad you mentioned how easy it is to knock over those tall shade bottles. I have done that an embarrassing number of times.

@Sorastro 5 лет назад

Doh! Happens to the best of us 😀

@ifirox666 2 года назад

There are so many different things on this video! Like, neat paint, the sponge, the Qtip... amazing work 😊

@Sorastro 2 года назад

Thank you so much! I'm glad you found the video useful 😀

I started watching this series not because I like star wars but because I wondered if I might learn something from it. Not only am I learning, but I'm hooked and can't wait for the next episodes. I also want to go out and buy these figs to paint. You have cost me a lot of money :)

@Sorastro 6 лет назад

Ha ha - thank you! Please apologise to your bank account on my behalf :)

@JeffJones75 6 лет назад

Your videos are amazing and quite inspiring. After watching this video a few times I purchased this kit online and built it while following this tutorial. While it didn't come out as spectacular as yours, I am quite happy with it. Thank You for taking the time and effort to make these videos. They are very much appreciated.

@Sorastro 6 лет назад

Thanks a lot Jeffery! I really appreciate that :)

@questwise4077 6 лет назад

Ah! Poster putty for the weapons! Genius! As I had already constructed the models before deciding that I was going to magnetize the weapons, this is going to save me a ton of headache!

@cerethpainting6606 5 лет назад

One thing I really like about your videos is your brush work. You touch on it in a different video, but painting toward the lightest spot has helped me immensely with highlighting.

@Sorastro 5 лет назад

Oh good - thanks mate! 😀

@peterdickinson4599 5 лет назад

I was working my way through the Zombicide: Black Plague tutorials, when the OSL from the lightsaber in the Luke Skywalker thumbnail dragged me away to this series. I am thoroughly enjoying the quality and effort that goes into your work and into your videos. I’m finding it very inspiring. Even minor production details, like the model going through the painting stages as you list the steps at the beginning of the video, that must take a lot of planning and work for a sequence that is only a few seconds long, and would be so easy to miss, but it adds real depth to the package. You have a very clear and coherent vision of how you want everything to look, both on the table, and on the tablet. Brilliant! And I haven’t even mentioned the music. It is without doubt the subtlest blending of visual and audio I have yet found on RU-vid, rather like your layering. I can hear riffs from the movie soundtracks in there, but they aren’t rip-offs, more stepping-off points that capture the atmosphere of the franchise. I was sure, after watching the first Luke tutorial, that you would recycle the same music for each subsequent video, but I believe each has been different. I could be wrong, my ear-drums are made of leather, but if I’m correct, then that implies a crazy level of dedication. Again, brilliant! And thank you.

@Sorastro 5 лет назад

Thank you so much Peter! I really appreciate your taking the time to provide such kind and thorough feedback! Although I do actually recycle a fair bit of the music - once I've got enough for any given series - I still like to write something new for most episodes, depending on the mini.. :)

@Sorastro 6 лет назад

Thank you! The sponge trick is quite an old and well-established one, but it's so fun and effective to do :)

@UnkleSanik 6 лет назад

I've loved this series of tutorials so far, being all honest it's incredible how such a single change on the layers of dark or bright can make something so metallic looking. Thanks to these tutorials I've managed to do quite the amount of stuff with the Legions basic figures, and I mean... It's WAY better having a shaded Chiss than some plain tune blue, my Rebel alien strike team looks way better now.

@carlmayne3519 6 лет назад

Only found your channel maybe 3-4 weeks ago, but you've given me some good inspiration and since I've binge-watched nearly all of your video's in a couple of weeks I've learned a lot of new tips and techniques which I've previously given up on attempting, or were too worried about trying in-case I totally ruined a mini ... I bought some rosemary and co brushes as suggested in one of your videos, and even though I still love my GW and kolinsky brushes, I'm really impressed with the rosemary ones ... Love your videos, and thanks for giving me the motivation to get back to it :D ...

When I saw the result of the brown paint you used for the rust, I was thinking it was a bad choice... Then you added the orange paint and the glaze, and gosh, it looks absolutely amazing! I'm sorry for doubting you, oh mighty Sorastro! :(

+MonsieurMammouth Ha ha! Thank you - all is forgiven :)

@charliefranklin1937 5 лет назад

I have to say I have watched every video on your channel. I have found them so useful when painting, not only as guides but the techniques you use have helped me with so many minis. There is so much to learn and perfect but I have to say I appreciate your videos as they make it look so simple and makes me feel less over whelmed with planning when painting a model. The Black Plague tutorials have been so useful for painting zombies. Please continue making these videos they have made me far better painter. Anytime anyone asks me how I’ve done something I just tell them to watch sorastro. Most of my techniques have been adapted from these tutorials! Thank you so so much!

@Sorastro 5 лет назад

Thank you so much Charlie! I really appreciate that, and I'm happy that the videos have helped with your painting 😀

@charliefranklin1937 5 лет назад

Honestly I can’t tell you how much you have helped. I am tomorrow going to rewatch one of your blood rage videos to remember how you made a fiery blade and try to adapt that to a blue scheme for doing the weapons of a Reaper Frost giant (I don’t believe you’ve done a video for anything like this yet). Thanks

@Sorastro 5 лет назад

Nice! No, I haven't done blue flames in a video yet, although I did a blue swirly spell for the spellweaver from Gloomhaven: m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=2149338028434019&id=941329685901532 😀

@Sorastro 6 лет назад

@FluxLPHD 6 лет назад

Two Questions: 1. How long did it take you to make this tutorial? (Not only painting, also editing and stuff) 2. do you know when you are ready to publish the next guide? I'm so hyped. :)

@Sorastro 6 лет назад

Hi Flux! This video probably took me around 50 hours or so to produce (including prep, shooting, narrating, editing, composing music etc). The next guide won't be ready for another few weeks :)

@FluxLPHD 6 лет назад

Sorastro's Painting 50 hours is a lot of time! Thank you so much for your hard and long work! I hope you still have fun making this videos:)

@marcomanetta8493 4 года назад

finally getting to this chic.. i dont like the pose.. and even if i did, i like the sense of weight.. so im doing what i did (although it came in more peices) with the AT-ST; cutting the hip joints down some, tilting the legs, cutting the ankle joints for the same thing, and even the "barrel" (that holds each leg) and tilting it as well. The end product has the longer leg (left) of the AT-RT acting as the dominant leg being stood on.. and the shorter leg (right), being that its curled, made to look as if its being lifted up, with its respective foot being dangled a bit.. Whats cool is, you could go for the opposite, and have the legs tilted outward - in a more planted look (kind of like when its turning in battlefront 2 :) I guess im going for a movie look, although ill have to re-watch the AT-RT scene again.. but whatever the case, i love dramatic poses ;)

@tylerlytle3950 2 года назад

I have no idea how you painted all of this in sub-assemblies and then all of it glued together perfectly. I have been dry-fitting these legs and feet for multiple days now and it never comes out correctly. The real video you should make is how you managed to accomplish that. :P Great painting video, regardless! You're a legend.

@Kephris08 6 лет назад

This is really super awesome. I love your videos. However, I really think it would have been SO cool if you would have impressed the front foot into the basing medium behind it's final position so it looks like a footprint from it walking through the mud. That would have been so cool. Keep it up!

@Sorastro 6 лет назад

Thanks Lena! I love the footprint idea, and I actually tried it but it didn’t work out too well, however I think if I let the basing paste dry a while first it might turn out better. I’ll give it another go on my next AT-RT :)

@marijncromheecke8044 6 лет назад

Sorastro, would u use layers of yellow/brown for the skin of the komainu and earth dragon in rising sun? Or would u use metallics?

@mikesprague 6 лет назад

As always - BRILLIANT! I don't know what I'm more excited about - playing or painting! I had a few quick questions; you varnashed after the base materials, does that create any problems? I would think it would plastic coat the grass, thus sealing it - but is it less natural looking? And what glue are you using (putting model together)? I can't find a good brush on glue round here... Again, thanks for all that you do! Can't wait to see you hit the other vehicles!!!

@Sorastro 6 лет назад

Thanks a lot Mike! Using the Dullcote after the base didn't cause any problems for me. The glue I used was a superglue by Loctite but I think any superglue would be fine :)

@gatblau1 4 года назад

Do these come with the main body already glued? I bought this piece today and was really disappointed to find the main body was already glued together with CA glue (and not that neatly either). Did I get a re-wrapped one or is this normal?

@davidseim2991 6 лет назад

Not sure if you will see this or not. I started watching your videos during the imperial assault series. My buddy had purchased the game and started painting. I have pre ordered Star Wars Legion and am nervous and excited about painting. Any tips that you could send my way? I can't afford to buy the entire citadel line so I will most likely have to create colors, but that's ok. Thanks in advance should you reply. Thank you for the many hours you dedicate to make these videos

@Sorastro 6 лет назад

Hi David! I've tried to include all the most important tips for approaching the Legion minis in the videos; if there's anything specific you're not sure about then let me know and I'd be happy to help! :)

@KevinJernigan 6 лет назад

These Sir are amazing! I've been watching your channel since you started doing the Imperial Assault minis, and I must say you really make me want to start painting again. I must ask though, since I haven't painted mini's in at least 15 years, and all my current paint pots are dried out. What would you recommend to the first time buyer, or someone getting back into the hobby to start out with? Paints have changed quite a bit in the last 15-20 years, and while it may sound like a good deal to go grab the Games-Workshop ultra paint bundle. It's rather hard to justify dropping $300 on paints right out of the gate. So, is there a set or colors you'd recommend to start with as a base to build on? Thanks again for making these videos! Keep up the great work Sir!

@Sorastro 6 лет назад

Thank you Kevin! I usually suggest that people entering or re-entering the hobby just buy the individual paints required for a specific model or unit, then gradually expand your paint collection over time. So the real question is - what do you want to paint first? :)

@brianleclaire5886 6 лет назад

Great video! What are the lines on the base used for? Firing arcs?? Also, have you considered trying to magnetize the swappable gun?

@Sorastro 6 лет назад

Thanks Brian! Yes they are firing arcs :) And yes, I though about magnetising the guns but decided to keep things nice and simple (yet effective) with some good old poster putty instead. I'm sure all the modders will get to adding magnets in no time :)

@BobBob-bv7kn 6 лет назад

Has always perfect vids and minis ! Keep going :). Little question, while you're refering to couple drop of Glaze to thin the paint, is't 1 portion of paint for 1 portion of Glaze ?? I haved try to thin with glaze because I like your wet blending technique. But I have difficulty to figure out the right quantity of glaze. Thx, :)

@Sorastro 6 лет назад

Hi Bob! If you're referring to my adding Vallejo's Glaze Medium when I'm wet blending, then just a couple of drops will do, and maybe a drop or two of water. I couldn't give a precise ration though because it depends on how thick the paint is to begin with :)

@cristiancasadootazu4496 6 лет назад

@lukelu1748 6 лет назад

@MrStainless001 6 лет назад

I wonder if anyone could help me, I've tried to do the highlighting/ zenith priming where I start with a black prime, then spray with grey and finalise with white. However with the grey and white stage the paint ends up being a little rough/ speckley. Is this because I didn't let each layer dry properly before spraying?

@Sorastro 6 лет назад

Hi there! I think it could simply be that you're using spray can primers which tend to be a bit more speckley compared to using an airbrush. One small suggestion - you might like to try holding the can just a little closer to the model :)

@MrStainless001 6 лет назад

That is exactly what I'm using sir. I'll try holding it closer next time, strangely I hadn't held the spray closer in case it applied to heavily and drowned out the model, I'll definitely give it a try next time though.

@Elliot-ji1co 6 лет назад

I am getting more excited for Legion to come out and to get back into painting, thank you! I do have a quick question. I noticed you glued the legs, then glued the struts later. Do they only fit in one position? I also noticed that with the arm and the handlebar. Any time I have tried gluing separately, nothing lines up. Thanks for the great videos!

@Sorastro 6 лет назад

Hi Elliot! The legs only fit in one position (which is why I glued them in first). The struts however are not so fixed in that if you were to glue the struts first, it would be pretty easy to get the angle wrong and then have problems when you glue on the legs :)

I've been watching your videos for a while and was just wondering how often you replace your brushes? I really like the Rosemary and Co Series 33 and try to take care of them (masters brush soap etc) but mine are starting to look a bit aged and in need of replacement.

@Sorastro 6 лет назад

Hi Harry! Unfortunately all brushes die in the end.. I usually pick up a batch of around 4-5 size 2s once every few months :)

@dddmmm21 6 лет назад

Do you ever use an airbrush? Any thoughts on how faster priming and base coating would be, specially if you have units to deal with? Thanks

@Sorastro 6 лет назад

Hi DTM! You'll usually see me using an airbrush for the priming stage but you could of course use one to apply the main base colours too if you like :)

@brookerogers7703 6 лет назад

This looks awesome. Just finished painting the imperial assault Rancor following your tutorial. It looks great! Quick question, what do you use for the forest litter/ logs? Is it a product or just off the ground?!

@Sorastro 6 лет назад

Thanks Brooke! In this instance the litter really was mostly just twigs etc that I collected off the floor of the local forest :)

@plumplume2229 Месяц назад

the pencil tip is great ! sorry if already answered, what are the supplies you use for your bases (i mean rocks, wood, etc...) ?

@Sorastro Месяц назад

Thanks! Hmm it's been a few years.. I think if you go back to the first episode or so, you should find the basing process detailed there.. 😀

@Scarbro73 4 года назад

Great tutorials Sorastro!! Question tho, how do you keep your paint wet in the well so long? Do you add water to it? Mine starts to dry so fast that it's difficult to go back to it

@Sorastro 4 года назад

Thanks Jay! Yes I usually thin all my paints with some water. You could mix in some retarder if you really wanted to extend the drying time, or use a wet palette of course.. :)

@eddtube 6 лет назад

Amazing as always, though I am sitting this game out. Do you have plans for more Imperial Assault vids over the next few months?

@Sorastro 6 лет назад

Thank you! Yes I’ll be resuming the IA series this month with some Ahsoka Tano :)

@1992Thorben 4 года назад

The basing material at the end..is it mid green or light green?

@Sorastro 4 года назад

Hi Thorben! I think I used the mid green mainly, but also sprinkled a little of the light, and the dark to add some variation.. :)

@maltesuenberger2924 6 лет назад

Hey Sorastro. What's about the effect colours of Vallejo (Effect Rust 131 and Effect dry rust 136) instead of Secret Weapon? Any experiences with them?

@Sorastro 6 лет назад

Hi Malte! I confess I haven't tried the Vallejo rust colours yet but I'm sure they'll be fine :)

@mikeljokinecheveste1287 6 лет назад

Excellent weathering techniques, these rebels need to do a good refurbishing of their vehicles. :D

@Sorastro 6 лет назад

Ha - thanks Mikel :)

@MrForsaken5 6 лет назад

Oi! Good call with the sponge and the weathering technique! Were the logs and sticks at the end purchased or salvaged in the yard?

@Sorastro 6 лет назад

Hi! Yes they were mostly salvaged from a nearby forest :)

@MatthewSeymour1986 6 лет назад

Loving the green basing material. What are you using?

@Sorastro 6 лет назад

Hi Matthew! Oops I forgot to include that in the video description (now fixed!); I'm using the Javis Fine Turf (mostly the Mid Green colour, but also some of the Dark and the Light) :)

@qentsy 6 лет назад

How adhesive is the brown earth ? Will it be strong enough for game play. All the lifting, Dropping, knocking etc.

@Sorastro 6 лет назад

Hi qentsy! If feels plenty strong enough to me, but I haven't performed a drop test! :)

@lengolass 6 лет назад

excellent! Are you going to make any videos about gloomhaven minis?

@Sorastro 6 лет назад

Thank you! It's possible that I might just produce some PDF quick guides for the Gloomhaven minis; I'm not sure yet :)

@lengolass 6 лет назад

Thats great news! You've inspired me to try this even that the only connection I have with painting is some videos I have watched with Bob Ross on TV when I was a kid! :P Keep up the good work!!

@OneofInfinity. 4 года назад

Beautiful work, I can see a "conversion" brand new AT-RT with a clone trooper from the BARC Speeder kit, if only my wallet felt heavier.

@Sorastro 4 года назад

Nice idea! :)

@BlitzMekanika 4 года назад

Since the clone wars box set came out an there’s a new expansion unit coming this summer. At-Rt with a clone pilot.🤗

What glue is that?

@cerethpainting6606 5 лет назад

Do you spay the foliage with varnish as well?

@Sorastro 5 лет назад

Hi! I don't deliberately try and spray the foliage but I don't mind if it gets hit whilst I'm spraying the rest of the model :)

@jonathangutierrez3607 6 лет назад

Amazing! Makes me wanna be the rebels for a change lol

@Sorastro 6 лет назад

Thanks Jonathan! They do look pretty bad *** :D In a recent demo game I had I spanked the Imperials too :)

@jonathangutierrez3607 6 лет назад

Sorastro's Painting Nice! So excited to play

@JukeBoxInc_TheHerosGuild 6 лет назад

Do you think you'll ever go over paint tutorials for Zombicide's season characters? Really liked how you did the colors for both the zombies in the original and black plague Zombicide games. Fantastic job, and now may even consider mini figure painting as well.

@Sorastro 6 лет назад

Hi there! For Zombicide I may well be covering some of the Black Plague expansions at some point, and possibly some Green Horde :)

@JukeBoxInc_TheHerosGuild 6 лет назад

Awesome, if those vids ever do come to fruition I'll be looking forward to em :] keep up the awesome paint jobs!

@Sorastro 6 лет назад

Thanks man! :)

@Trinketorium 6 лет назад

Hi Sorastro, great work as always - a couple of questions though if you don't mind - Firstly I don't understand the point of the zenithal highlight - at 4min 30 for example you just paint over the entire thing in one colour, hiding all the highlight you put on with the spray at the start. Also, when I try to mix my paints with equal parts water (as you mentioned a lot in your videos), then paint it on, it just runs off, or collects in the edges, leaving an almost completely transparent colour on the surface, and I have to go back with a tissue, mop it up, and then add loads more paint to the mix to get it to stay on the surface. What am I doing wrong here? I'm following your guide exactly as you say but have either missed something, or you use a different type of water then me :) Thanks

@Sorastro 6 лет назад

Hi! Yep the zenithal prime really isn't essential - as mentioned in the priming stage, a plain prime in black, white or grey would be fine. Regarding paint consistency - can I ask which colour it is that's behaving like that? It sounds like you're either over thinning the paint, in which as just add less water, or it could be that you need to give the bottle a more vigorous shake first. Also, for the base colours here I'm keeping the paint pretty thick (3:44) :)

@docbun 6 лет назад

Very nice! I was almost expecting to see some magnets in action towards the end, but I guess you're saving this for later forces... from the dark? ;)

@Sorastro 6 лет назад

Thanks! Ha - since making this video I have actually bought some magnets so may still see some magnet action from me soon.. :)

@techreviews4639 6 лет назад

Hi Sorastro. Thank you again for this great video. I have a question. Do you know any other good alternatives that works the same as the 2 secret weapon paints are you using in the video? (Red Rust and Orange Rust). Here in spain is not possible to buy those paints (online or offline), there are not shops or distributors that work with them and i suppose in other places of Europe will happen the same. On the other hand, in the future videos (AT-ST or other tech vehicles of Legion), could be possible to use other alternatives like citadel or vallejo paints for those weathering effects? (that are available worldwide). Thank you a lot.

@Sorastro 6 лет назад

Hi there! For the Red Rust you could use something like Rhinox Hide and for the Orange Rust Skrag Brown would be a good match :)

@techreviews4639 6 лет назад

Thank you Sorastro. But those Secret Weapon paints are made for weathering effects, so i suppose they will not have the same pigment or density comparing with normal acrylic paints. Have you tried and compared them? On the other hand, are you planning to use more standard and available paints for weathering effects in your next tutorials? Thank you! PD: I do not see these paintings even on ebay, which is very estrange, it seems that they are not easy to buy.

@Sorastro 6 лет назад

Hi! The Secret Weapon rust paints are still just acrylic paints, and although they have quite a high pigmentation and somewhat thin consistency, you will be able to achieve very similar results with the Citadel paints I suggested (which you can try for yourself on a spare mini). Incidentally, you could also order the Secret Weapon paints from elementgames.co.uk/ because they do ship internationally... :)

@techreviews4639 6 лет назад

Thank you Sorastro! On the other hand, have you tried Vallejo pigments? I think they are great for weathering effects (I think one of the best options at this moment). It could be great if you could use those pigments in your next Star Wars Legion videos (for example AT-ST) to show other techniques and other paints that are more available worldwide.
