- The Gothic Void Troopers are clad in spaceworthy plate armour with a bulky, pre-industrial touch. Perfect for all kinds of unusal troop types in sci-fi games of all kinds! Packed with detail, they can also be extremely quick to paint with a few simple techniques. READ MORE:

Toilet roll is designed to absorb very little water and pick up solids while dissolving quickly.
'Kitchen' paper is designed to absorb water but to have solids slide off while retaining the soak ability and strength / integrity
Amazing what you pick up over the years ‼️
Toilet roll scientist over here 😁
That silver and dark brown metal was a great combination choice!
Thank you! I wasn't quite sure about how it was going to look when I first took it out of the pot, but it turned out how I'd hoped in the end. Nothing quite like a bit of luck. :D
That's a really good job! Honestly, I could see the alien inspiration but couldn't help but think of Dead Space when I saw the mini!
There's a pistol hand with a weapon that looks surprisingly reminiscent of Isaac Clarke's little doo-dad included in the set, funnily enough. ;D
Another beautiful mini, it has a classic pulp feeling, remember me of Ming's troopers of early Flash Gordon comics.
Not only is it a neat looking figure but the painting is fantastic! Thanks for sharing this.
My pleasure! I always enjoy doing these little unusual figures now and then, and the Anvil range is full of neat what-nots and oddments. :D
I love the owl on the paper towel. Owl Towel.
I was a big Space 1994 fan so these speak to me. Since I learned of your preshade wash technique (that you were showing shortly after contrast paints came out) I use it all the time.
Preshade and a drybrush to help things along works a treat on these sorts of things. It's not as smooth a finish as straight over a primer, but for a rougher, more lived-in look, I can't recommend it enough. Glad to hear it's been working for you, too!
The Imperial Navy Breacher designs remind me of these guys, especially the heavy gunner suit.
My first thought was old style 40k Imperial Guardsman... but then thought how cool would these be for an Imperial Navy Boarding Party... Space Hulk, but no Terminators lol
You nailed this one. Totally captured the Kane vibe on this mini. 😁👍🏻
Brilliant colour scheme really nice.
Thank you , Sonic .
thanks for putting me on to this patreon from anvil just jumped on board already got a handful of the voidsmen printed and assembled now to pray for dry skies tomorrow so i can prime them and get painting
Legend! I've been subbed to the Patreon since the beginning to collect all the parts over time. It's a great thing to have access to as many files as possible so you can mix and match as you like, same as with the modular resin stuff. :D
@@SonicSledgehammerStudio most definetly, only just got myself a mars bit gutted i didn't sign up sooner to grab the previous months at that price next project is to replace missing heroquest minis from my childhood set all the models are on thingiverse id love to see your take on any of those classic models
Now that's a perfect looking base! Great contrast, too. Thanks for your videos. ;)
Great paint job on an amazing miniature. I really like your painting guides, and if I pick up some of these fellows I'll use your paint scheme.
Splendid used-future look all around.
Stealing wholesale from Ridley Scott does make it a lot easier to come up with a colour scheme on occasion. ;D Though there's plenty you could do to tweak the finish, I figure!
That's a cracking mini will have to go check these out. Really like that Alien space suit look it's very utilitarian and believable as well as looking great
It's something I really like about Anvil's designs. Though they're obviously fantastic in nature, they still look like they could feasibly work.
@@SonicSledgehammerStudio I agree with you, I have noticed the same with some other anvil minis you have painted. Not having a 3D printer is an issue however I will pop over later and see if they also sell printed sets. Thanks for the tutorials always so enjoyable long may they continue
The Gothic Void torsos and at least one of the helmet options are available in resin - I think when I ordered mine back in the day I used the medieval-style helmets. They're compatible with anything you like the look of, though!
@@SonicSledgehammerStudio that's handy to know thanks. Will certainly be heading over to the online store for a overdue nose around. Thanks again for the steer much appreciated
Thanks for this. I subscribe to a lot of these patreons and never know how to paint them!
Happy to help! I know there's no strictly 'correct' way to paint them, but I find as well that sometimes it just helps to see what others are doing for inspiration.
oh teh sepia is very nice
Woah woah woah, can you please link to how you did that base? I liked the mini before and then you cut to the finished base and it does so much to put the model in context. I love it!
It's just Astrogranite Debris, Agrax Earthshade and a Longbeard Grey drybrush. Nothing strenuous!
@@SonicSledgehammerStudio Alright, thanks for the info!
Love them, hoping they come out soon in resin. Could you post one genestealer cultist with the bubble helmet? I'd like to see how it fits.
Love the look. What do you recommend for a lighter color for the bronze?
Probably Balthasar Gold!
Cool thanks. Was thinking if I end up doing these that I'd do the HQs in the brighter stuff.
Oi mate. Would love to see you paint laserburn miniatures
Maybe one day, though I do like the look of some of the 15mm lines in that theme.
Cant even tell this is 3d printed (can't see any lines) I've no idea what I'm taking about but what setting did you use to print this?
This came off an Elegoo Mars machine, which is a resin printer. The layer height is 0.035mm - it's not a fast print, but it's indistinguishable from a cast miniature when it's done!
Hello there, just researching the Gothic Void Troopers !! Can you buy the STL file from Anvil ? Or do they only supply the Spools only ? Many thanks !!!!
I love this! I found the void heads/torsos on Anvil Industries, but I’m struggling to find the arms and legs. Which set are they from?
NM, I rewatched when I got home and caught the info at the end. These are so good. Thank you for posting!
Just got up and was about to answer this one when you'd already found it. ;D The stuff currently available as STLs is slated for release in resin 'at some point,' but with production and such in a mess with the current worldwide situation there's not a hard timeframe on when that might be.
Love this..mini looks brilliant..just subscribed..look forward to more. Be good to see minis that us non 3d printer owners can get hold of...very frustrating...🤬🤬
Great job as always. I’m struggling a little bit with my 10mm Wood Elves for Hordes of the Things. I know I should not be too precious because I’m basing them for 25mm but I was wondering, if I posted you a squad, would you consider a demonstration? Your 15mm and 6mm tutorials were great. I have plenty of sprays and inks and so on, just cramped hands and not much confidence.
Hordes of the Things? I haven't come across that rule set, so that's definitely one I'll have to check out. I've actually got some 10mm stuff on the way fairly soon, so while not specifically Wood Elves, it might help?
@@SonicSledgehammerStudio that’s good enough for me! They are cheap enough that I can make a few errors in test models.
HOTT and De Bellis Antiquitatis are Wargames Research Group rules that I used to play as a kid, getting back into the hobby their simplicity and generic ness mean I can impose my own fluff, colour schemes and potentially even use historical armies as ‘humans.’ I think they have fallen out of favour in the intervening years but they are wonderfully adaptable even if the distinction between a bow and a reflex bow isn’t a consideration. The ground scale works very well when basing small models for 25mm. I was painting 28mm and getting better but a few injuries and limited space make 10mm the ideal scale to work with, less detail to tempt me!
I just found links to HOTT and DBA... I should have guessed it'd be a DBA variant! 🤣 I've had my eye on using 10mm figures to play Dragon Rampant for tiny fantasy outings, though those rules are a far sight simpler still, I imagine.
It does remind me I need to pick up some of these bad boys... www.copplestonecastings.co.uk/list.php?cat=6&sub=28&page=1
@@SonicSledgehammerStudio have never tried Lion Rampant but it seems to have a following. Those are lovely casts, by the way. I have been getting into Pendraken and Irregular. Funnily enough the best results so far seem to be simple block painting over a bright undercoat (ie bone and dry brush white) and painting on strong tone for protection Contrast paint a little runny for fine work but ok as a wash. I have so many beautiful MTN spray colours that are going unused though. I really recommend those sprays, very wide range.
Whenever I hear someone say "Warplock Bronze" I hear it in Alexandra's voice (Girl painting) I don't know why it just happens.
How did you do the base? Was it a texture paint with some dry brushing? Thanks for your response
This was Astrogranite, Earthshade, drybrush Dawnstone, then some random splotches of Camoshade and a final very light drybrush of Underhive Ash. Grey bases can be a little bland if you stick to just grey tones, and a little bit of yellow or green to simulate dust and moss build-up can help break that up.
@@SonicSledgehammerStudio much thanks for the paint names. When you applied the “Astrogranite” was it the technical or the debris? Apparently there’s two version of it. Unless you did a 50/50 mix with both? *confused stare*
I’m definitely going for more of a moon-planet terrain as I plan to use them for obj markers in the 40k universes (but inspired alien spacesuit color.) many thanks again for your feedback and response!
🙂👍
Hello sir, could you be persuaded to print and paint one or two minis from Anvil Industries Renegades Digital Forge line?
