Ultimate Guide Damage and Weathering (Nurgle Knight) - HC 450 

20mins ago i retrieved my nurgle knights from my pile of shame and started firing up my airbrush and here is Vince the mind reader and releases a video to show me how its done... You good sir are a legend!

I’ve not really had a desire to paint big robots, nor did I start watching your channel to view this type of content. Now more and more I find myself wanting to paint one though. I’m beginning to think you’re a bad influence. Thanks for another awesome video and a new budding addiction .😂

You got me with "Nurgle" and "weathering".

That looks like a lotta damage

Vince being fine with still using that insane well palette is a sign of mental peace I don’t think I will ever achieve. That would drive me crazy to use

Good stuff. I always find the little step of adding the lighter paint at the edges of the damage makes such a dramatic difference in the overall look. It's really amazing.

This is great! Always glad for some quality weathering instruction!

This was great- I’m aware of most of the techniques you showed, but I never knew how to put them together and honestly found them overwhelming. Starting from sponge weathering and using that as the base to work from makes a lot of sense.

Wonderful tutorial again! Perfect timing for the rhino and landraider I'm in the middle of now. Thanks again for a beautiful education!

Awesome! That looks like how I feel on a Monday morning … the crusted verdigris tears on my grizzled face… ready for the day after life’s sepia shade, a cuppa coffee ☕️

you should do all your 40k in this grim rusty theme. looks amazing and very fitting

Precise, concise, I love it. You made a lot of things much clearer to me. Thank you!

Terrific, granular walk-through. Thank you!

I like mecha color rust texture. It looks as good as dirty down rust but combined, they look better than either alone. Mecha color chipping brown also looks good

Great tutorial Vince. Can't wait to see more on this knight.

This is why death guard is my painting army, it’s so much fun to do a great paint job then make it look disgusting!

Man, I want to see a tutorial on that copper trim! Damn that looks good

Really fun tutorial with a wide variety of techniques that will help future project….thanks!

I love all Vince Venturella videos👏👍🤙

There's some recency bias here. But this is one of your best videos ever Vince. Just incredible dumps of information 🤣😍🔥👍🏻

Excellent Video. My local store got all the Pro Acryl. I LOVE Royal Purple and now I want to get a bottle of Newsh.

Vince is a Master.

I didn't even know that Newsh existed, thank you for letting me know Vince. Time to do research on it :)

Nothing makes my day better quite like a new Vincy V vid. Awesome work as always Vince!

Also that nmm/tmm for the trim is amazing. I genuinely can't tell which one it is.

Looks amazing. You are the goat, sir!

Great video Vince! I would love to see you make a weathering series, you make it look achievable and fun

You had me at nurgle

Great Video! Nice to see things transform like that. Do you take requests? Being relatively new to the hobby I found certain things were causing difficulties for me. I'm very much a "right tool for the job" kind of guy. I'd love to see a video talking about all the different types of mediums(?), when to use and when to use(the NOT to use is very important). Acrylic inks, when to use them, when NOT to use them. Same with washes, contrast paints. Would be interesting to hear you talk about your selection process, what material you're going to use and why those specifically and why you aren't using the other materials. Seen many videos, and I find most content creators talk about what they're going to use but never why they're going to use other materials instead.

Your insight and lessons are always helpful, thanks Vince. Definitely adding these techniques to my painting arsenal 👍

Thank you for this videoVince! 👍 So much insight and motivation to attempt using the techniques 👍

Awesome video. Excellent explanation, and a lot of tips I’ll be using.

Thank you for showing an alternative to oils and enamels for people (like me) that can't use them (children around).

Thanks for the Video ❤

My unfinished deathguard wardogs thank you for this video.

Oh this fantastic. I know a lot of these techniques generally, but the depth you add to them it is what helps me take things so much further. The thinner paints for streaking especially is going to be very useful as I paint my next Knight (which is also white actually!)

I'm planning on sculpting my own abhorrent class chaos knights this summer as a side project. Your painting videos have been giving me some awesome ideas.

Thanks Vince! Really looking awesome

Pretty cool video and weathering!

I would also strongly suggest checking Uncle Nightshift and hos weathering videos. He's from scale modeling world and has some other cool tricks and suggestions.

I love me some rusty crusty fun! 😂🎉

Perfect timing, I’m working on my first orc and need advice for rusty armor. I’m not a great painter but I enjoy it, and you help me so much, for that I thank you

Great for all the Meganobz about to hit the table. Thanks, Vince!

Just to let u know watch that white colour video and finished the bone tonight came out really nice so thank u went from light orange brown and sepia to bright ivory and white mix 👍👍

Fantastic video! Going to try some of this weathering on my own knights. Would love to know the copper colours you used for the trim if possible?

Great vid and the speed at which utterly credible varied rust accumulated makes it so clear how to produce all sorts of effects. My bugbear, and I'm hoping this reaches Vince because I'd really value his perspective/thoughts. Verdigris - it's a beautiful patina, and it overlays copper and it's simple alloys for vivid blue on rich orange contrast as a reality based gimme! BUT, it's not. Rust and grime accumulates where it will but then clears off again anywhere there's wear or abrasion to leave behind either bare metal or relatively clean paint. For verdigris on copper/bronze this incontrovertibly goes 42,000%, This is the reason you see verdigris on temple roofs and statues, you might think the statue of liberty is a massive endorsement for it but if any of that massive copper sheathing was made into buckles, buttons or trims, even if it was trim on that neighbour's son who's never once cleaned his inherited, beaten up buick it wouldn't show verdigris ever again. Just the wind and leaves blown across it as he drives would clear it off. Verdigris really only exists to make your daughter's neck go green when she's sold a "real gold" necklace on holiday. I used to be a historic re-enactor, have carried and used so many different weapon and armour styles and constructions. One of my chain shirts has bronze wire links incorporated in a decorative pattern and my second best helmet had a beaten bronze nasal. My broadsword had a chunky dark age crossguard and pommel, my favourite bearded axe had bronze bands on the haft, my poleaxe had a bronze decorative ring below the head and another above the buttspike. Each item got a wipe over with an oily rag after each weekend outing, no verdigris ever. Finally under my shirt I wore a 1 1/2" bronze Mjolnir on a thong as a membership award for maybe 20years, green splodge stain on skin of chest and the hammer turned black from skin contact, literally a few microscopic grains worth of green in the deepest utterly protected front deeply incised details - that's it. Vince, if you know this and just use it for chromatic reasons then fair play, but grime looks really good on copper bronze and brass and fantasy leaking greenish lube looks waaaay better than the V stuff. Comment sought 😝

Big fan of Militarum Green over copper alloys just to give them that aged look. EDIT: I MEANT ATHONIAN CAMO SHADE

Felt like a good tutorial, thanks. Do you ever blend the streaks or is the story told through repeated layers of light (almost filter thin) staining?

Thanks again for another great tutorial. I also have a question for you. I'm painting a Word Bearers army that is dark red that leans into brown. Would I still try to do sponge chipping with a dark brown? My concern is it would blend in with the color of the armor.

how did you do the copper do you have a tutorial on that? love the layering of weathering made it very simple and easy to understand. like the idea of trying to tell a story when painting it

I've found it pretty hard to do the light catches on white armor. Even if i highlight with pure white against ivory(although already highlighted with white) the "scratches" and outlines doesn't show up.

8:20 SOME ... SOME ... Somebody once told me

Question if you where painting either an Eldar or Drukhari warrior would you use the same sponge technique in weathering their armor? I did try it, but every time i did it seemed as though this wasn´t just "chips" of damage, this was down right cosmic rust. So would a Smooshing Brush or just a really sharp brush do a better job than a sponge in creating realistic/believable chips and scratches for the scale? Also if you did the pigment rust on a metalic surface, would you use pigment fixer instead of maybe varnish to make sure the pigment wasn´t rubbed off too soon?

Hey Vince, where do you get that kind of sponge that you use for stippling? I've never come across anything I really like and searching online I can only ever find sea sponges.

When you're doing the Seraphim Sepia filter; how is it thinned when you're using it straight from the pot?

Any tips on getting a mini off its base without damaging it? Currently I use my dremel tool and come up through the base till I hit the feet and I pitch the base. It works most of the time but on bigger bases sometimes it hard to judge exactly where the feet are.

I'll surely adapt these techniques for my little gangs of the far future hive city but I'd like to know how you would make "coal faces"? I plan on doing a band of Ironhead Prospectors with proxies and would like to make a little hommage to the late miners from my region. If painting faces is not a big task (except for the eyes, always), how would you make them feel like they just got out of the mines? Thank you in advance!

Am I the only one distracted by the mtg angel art on Vince's desktop? Good choices lol.

Hey Vince, I followed your Oil wash vid and tried it myself. After troubleshooting for a few days, I'm still baffled. My oil wash mixture(s) keep coming out like stippling, clumping, mud splatter instead of filling in detail lines smoothly and evenly. What could cause the oil paint pigments to clump up as globs or dots as the thinner evaporates? Thanks for all your work, vids, and passion.

What knight is that with the marks of Sons of Horus? I love it

So a buddy tricked me into printing and painting a knight porphyrion for him earlier this week... He likes his shit all grimey and weathered, i do not... Are you stealing my brainwaves Mister Venturella? Do you have spies? Are those spies Ratmen?

Question! regarding the NEWSH, you're just mixing it with some paint and applying it, right? there's no 'removal' step? the NEWSH just dries on the model and stays there?

oh yea baby

👍👍

anyone else blow on there screen as he was applying the dry pigments 😂

Thanks Vince [};-)=*~ ( _"....Take Off That (*Apron)* Coat!!"_ )

You're not an idiot, you're using Skeleton Horde. But you got the name wrong, so... you're an idiot? Unless of course you've just got Seraphim Sepia in that SH pot, but that's pretty idiotic in itself. 😁

I will watch all of your videos out of loyalty and habit, but I have to admit that these are some of the least useful ones for me, because I don't expect to ever paint a vehicle that will need weathering. But hey, not every video needs to be useful for everyone. Just looking forward to when you get to painting some new AoS models!
