Only imperial stormtroopers could paint so precisely.
Hello Duncan! Now that the comments are online I'd like to be able to personally say thank you for your help learning how to paint models over the past year. Your guides have been supremely helpful and it's nice to see you working online again.
I want to ask since I haven't seen you answer this question yet: Will you be putting out videos that tackle more advanced subjects, such as Wet-blending, zenithol highlighting, how to do secondary edge highlighting and general tips for doing more difficult stuff? Now that you've come to work on your own and have a lot more freedom to do what you like, I'd love to see you teach and discuss more advanced techniques for painters who want to expand beyond what a general GW speed paint tutorial can teach them.
I understand of course if this channel will be more for doing the same sort of basic stuff to help people in a much more broad sense, and either way I'm excited to see what you do next!
Thank you for the kind words. We're glad we have done our small part to help you learn to paint. To answer your question, we will be looking at doing some more advanced stuff on the site but our main aim is to help beginners and intermediates. Saying that, there is always space to improve and we will be looking at some higher end stuff in the future too.
Just guessing, but I'd imagine the more detailed or advanced tutorials may be reserved for subscribers to the Academy.

@@CoAndCoLaptopAccount they already replied to this, they decided to not make a patreon page because they would rather put a donation process through their own website, because they get a higher cut on what to pay, they can easily control content being added to it for subscribers, and they can control the page layout, look and feel of the website. If you want to support them click the link in the description and sign up to their newsletter, and when the subscription system is up they will notify you via email.

This is the painting guide I'm looking for.
😂😂😂
I see, and like, what you did there
This is the way
@@christopherpeery7436 this is the way.
I love that you're using non-citadel paints now, it gives a much wider range of paints that I can learn how to use!
it makes me uncomfortable
I'm glad he's bringing more Citadel-only people into the more affordable, more versatile world of Vallejo/Army Painter/Reaper Master Series paints! Dropper bottles are such a blessing, too.
@@2WARDEN2 I love the citadel colour range so much more than 90% of the competition... but fuck me if dropper bottles aren't a godsend
@@2WARDEN2 Well... Vallejo and Reaper anyways. I've never had much positive experience with the quality of AP products and firmly believe AP only survives off the "It's cheaper than GW!" and anti-"name brand" mentality crowd. I've yet to encounter an acrylic paint brand that wasn't simultaneously cheaper than GW and better quality than AP.
@@2WARDEN2 My paint collection is mostly all citadel but I got a lot of scalecolor too, but for some things (like the pure white in this video), it's true that citadel isn't the best. Citadel's off whites are some of the best IMO but their pure whites tend to cake up super rapidly and become a solid mess in the pot
I love the fact that you’re not obliged to use just one brand of paints, this is the start of a golden era of duncan tutorials!
yeah it's funny, as SOON as he left GW he immediately started using The army painter and anything else he felt like xD
I'm gonna throw this out there: gloss finish. The movie troopers are incredibly glossy with that plastic finish. Adding a coat of a gloss varnish at the end helps the miniatures read as Stormtroopers, IMO.
I would also like to add I'm glad you're still finding a way to teach people how to paint. I learned a lot from you over the years!
If you're doing desert troopers, you can just say the glossy sheen has been sandblasted off.
I was thinking the same, at least for troopers that are in cities or stationed on star destroyers, away from grime and expected to keep their armor gleaming at all times.
I love how the armor doesn't look white until you add the black details and suddenly it gets brighter with each coat. Such a cool effect!
It's both weird and fantastic to see you paint non Citidel models with non Citidel paints! Great to see you painting again, Duncan!
Thanks for this! I've been holding off on painting my stormies from Legion because of all that white.
Glad we could help. It's a nice simple technique and should help you get your Stormtroopers on the battlefield in no time at all.
Did he say: “straight from the pot”? I thought that was illegal in the UK ...
It depends on which lords fiefdom you fall under and to how far the ancient edicts hold truth.
Large swaths of nottingham, for example, fall under some of the harshest laws.
do you have the thinning your paints license?
Contrast paints don’t need to be watered down, usually.
Is he using the contrast paint or a normal paint colour?
Oh I see, apothecary white is only a contrast paint. Never mind
So glad to see that you're still doing painting tutorials, Duncan
great work Duncan, looking forward to everything you are planning!
Awesome Duncan. Thanks for this and so glad to be watching you again.
Hey Duncan, as someone else said now that comments are allowed. I can't thank you enough for the Leviathan Hive Fleet tutorial you did. Thank you so much for this, and the videos yet to come.
Duncan!!! Soooo good to have you back doing what you love!
This is great! Thanks Duncan. I can’t wait to see more Legion painting tutorials.
I've always found your tutorials comprehensive and easy to follow. I'm really pleased you're continuing!
Good ol'Duncan still in the Imperium, different universe tho
Love that we have these videos to look forward to! Opened up to new models, new paint ranges, brushes. Great to see these are being made. I feel like they can be a good bridge between pure beginner and very advanced.
Love seeing that Duncan is painting again in stream. He’s honestly such a pillar in the community.
Subscribed and here to stay :)
Great to see you still doing this!
Great video thanks. Very transferable skill painting white and it’s lovely to see you paint different ranges.
Wow...just wow! Thanks for the tutorial Duncan :)
The white contrast paint is an absolute godsend for these kinds of tasks! Amazing stuff! Also glad to have you back, and I can't wait to see you work on different miniatures! Make us discover new mini brands while you teach us how to paint at the same time, that would be neato!
Yo Duncan Im excited for all the great content coming at us from you, glad your still painting and showing us how to be a pro like you!
Thanks for your painting guides, legend!
Our pleasure. But thank you for taking the time to watch and comment. It means the world to us. Hope you like the video.
Yaaaasssss! Your timing is perfect! Just getting ready to start working on my Phase 2 Clone Troopers for Legion!
DUNCAN LIVES! *STOMP STOMP*
Awesome to see you back. I learned painting from you and i intend to keep learning.
Good day to you, good sir!
Great to be able to comment on your painting vids! Love the work you have done and can't wait for some really high end techniques!
Duncan is back with great new stuff. My life goes on :-) Thanks for this great video!
Thank you for everything Duncan!You helped me so much getting back to the hobby and becoming a much better painter.I'm really glad and excited that you are back with your own channel and can't wait for new videos.Thanks again!
It lifts my heart to see this Duncan; just wow. Great stuff. God bless you :D
Great too see you sooibg your own thing.
Thanks for all your work over the years. Making the nice paintschemes seem doable for all of us out there.
You passion really shines through now that you can do what you want, great to see!
Great to see you doing more tutorials Duncan! You’ve been just a great and inspiring teacher of painting miniatures to me, and I’ve improved so much with my own miniatures thanks to you. I owe you one man, keep up the great work!
And now that I can say it here:
Duncan. Thank you, for teaching me how to paint. All the techniques, the methods.
I'm so glad that the legendary inaccuracy of the Stormtroopers didn't rub off onto your brushwork. Great tutorial for painting white on armour. :)
Wow! That looks amazing
Thanks Duncan and team
I can finally comment. Thank you for all your help. Your videos have been a fantastic source for learning.
Love this so much. Your stromtrooper is one of the highest quality ones I've seen!
I really like the way you did that white. I'm going to give it a try. Thanks for sharing, Duncan and Rodger!
Love you Rodger! Love you Duncan! Something I think would be interesting to see is painting different material minis and how that changes process. For example, the old school metal minis from either GW or others
Thanks Max. We'll look into that for future video's.
Gotta admit I was expecting a different kind of Imperial Stormtrooper
0Elmilo0 he had us at First half, I’m not gonna lie
Hmmm I'd like to see Duncan do some old school metal inqusitorial Storm troopers
40k or 1940s lol
Thanks guys! I loved that transition from grey plastic to painted at the end, it was awesome! Keep up the fantastic work!
Its so good hearing your voice again Duncan. Loved the tutorial
Thank you so much for this guide. I will use it right away
Great to see the new endeavour and looking forward to some more fantastic content. After a 20 year break from painting and wargaming I got back into it and your tutorials helped a lot and gave me some confidence. So thanks Duncan. Needless to say I'm deep into some 40k and now Underworlds and don't even wanna consider any Star Wars stuff. Good luck with the painting academy 👍👍
Duncan! So great to be able to leave comments - really appreciate your great videos (both historically on Warhammer TV and going forward at Duncan Rhodes Painting Academy)! Thanks for taking the fear out of painting (especially as someone coming back to the hobby as an adult - I've really found some great satisfaction it in so far)!
Another top notch video, best of luck in your new endeavors!
finally some good painting tutorials
Hello GUTS.
Duncan Rhodes Painting Academy :)
Love this video, thanks Duncan
DUNCAN! cant wait for the website to be up! Super excited for your videos!
Thanks Commissar Zaku, we're really looking forward to it :-)
Really cool work Dunc and Roger keep it up
Thanks 😊
That’s great! Good luck with this new endeavor. It was nice to see this style with a little more time showing the technique. Really appreciate that!
Thanks Matt
Seeing Duncan Painting Legion models using Army Painter is like getting a peep into an awesome alternative universe
Yaaaaaaaaay 💪 so excited for this... finally get to say thank you for atleast 3 years of closely monitoring your work
Miniature lighting is now perfect! 😍
Duncan - you are my Bob Ross. I'm sketching for work, listening to you in the background. I dont even need to learn anything, its just fun to listen to your calm dulcit tones!
Thanks again Duncan! I have been wanting to get into Star Wars legion for awhile now! You got me to order a set of Stormtroopers! 💯🤘🏼
Thanks Duncan! I was looking for a way to chew through my Clone Troopers from Legion fast and this seems to be the trick. Nice, sharp looking and easy to do.
I have always found your tutorials helpful. Keep up the good work.
Thank you, Duncan. You're a good man.
Hey duncan, thank you for doing these and warhammer tv videos.
I have started painting warhammer because of you. I saw warhammer games multiple times but never really knew what they were untilt one sunny day while sitting in my garden in August I looked it up. I saw you painting a space marine and I liked it. I ordered a Primaris space marine paint set and then started painting.
Thank you again
Mate, you're so good at this and it's really cool seeing you branch out. You've been the inspiration of so many impulse model buys after seeing your tutorials, I'm made up you're doing this :)
Thank you Duncan, I have learned much and improved greatly from your tutorials
Excellent teaching skills.
Hey thanks for this Duncan! Was looking for something to send a friend who just started his Star Wars Legion Army.
Appreciate the continued hard work on your channel!
Glad we could help. Hope your friend finds the tutorial useful.
Duncan Rhodes Painting Academy I hope so too, she’s new to mini painting, but this will help her greatly. I hope to see more from you from this range of minis!
Really good video. Normally I would look at Sarastaros for SWL but I've reached a peak of painting laziness/burn out, so this is an excellent result simply done. Happy with this Duncan.
I've always enjoyed your GW tutorials and am thrilled to see your own channel painting other types and companies models. Good luck with your channel.
Thank you Duncan, these are stunning
Very professional production 👌
Hey Duncan, I just want to thank you for the tutorials...really helped me getting into the hobby
Getting a clean white has been such a struggle for me for AGES in this hobby, but I feel a lot more comfortable with it now! Thanks for addressing the tough colors, these are really helpful!
Thanks for the video Roger and Duncan!
oooh yess, tutorial on how to paint white armour!!!! thank you!!!!
Yo Duncan! So happy that you have your own channel now! :)
More power to you!
Its awesome to see you painting again, m8! May this be the beginning of something great.
YESS I JUST bought this boxset this weekend! Legion is hella cool.
Great to see you again Duncan. Subscribed so fast!
Thanks Stephen :-)
You are a great teacher, always I love to see your videos, you have my support!!!!
Thanks so much Jose 😊
I've watch A LOT of tutorials for the stormtroopers andyou did the best job ! not soaked in shades not dirty and so nicely painted ! amazing job !
You sir have a new subscribed fan !
Thank you so much 😀
Good to see you're still rolling out painting videos, Duncan. Keep up the amazing work. I'm going to start my new sisters of battle army in white armour. Wish me luck :)
This is awesome!, So glad to see you back mate! You have teach us a lot!, my sincere Thanks!!
This is the channel I always hope existed!!! Def going to need a good old Rubric marine tutorial for us plebs.
Thanks again for being the teacher I always needed!
Oh hell yeah, Duncan and Legion in the same video. Instant subscribe
Being able to comment on a duncan video is a true treat! Plus a non GW product and non citadel paints?! What a new world!
Looks amazing and im gonna go pick up some stormtroopers and try this out!
Really well done. I don't play this but really enjoyed for the color options and techniques!
I decided to do a drybrush version of this for a more "film grain" look of the armor ...and i am not disapointed. Good stuff as usual Duncan
Always loved your tutorials, keep up the good work boys :)
Just great. Thanks for this.
I would love to try this scheme on my Imperial Guardsmen! Thanks for the amazing videos Duncan
Thanks for the video , I still have to paint my Stormtroopers and Clone Troopers, this surely help.
First of all; Thank you Duncan! I know you were personally involved in my return to the hobby and a number of friends as well. Really excited to see you try some new things like using a wet pallet, Glazing, NMM (maybe even sky earth chrome.) My favorite way now is directional lighting and glazing (thanks to Darren Latham and Vince V.) I truly believe your teaching style could bridge the gap on some advanced techniques for people as you make the impossible seem very attainable with only 2 thin coats.
I'm not even painting these miniatures... Duncan's videos are just so relaxing and enjoyable!
Hah! I KNEW IT! Beautiful job as always
All hail the god of two thin coats!
The mixed paints tutorial helped me a lot! thank you!
Thank you Duncan for all the tutorials you made, they made my comeback to the hobby much easier. I hope you'll help a lot more people with painting now that you are back making videos.
And it would be fun to do painting and/or conversions of Star Wars Stormtroopers and 40k Imperial Guards miniatures :) (white guardsmen and cadian-style stormtroopers)
Been struggling with Clones....this video helps. Thanks.
Yea boi Duncan!! Chuffed to see your new channel
Many thanks Duncan.
Challenging paint job, and great job!
