    I've struggled with choosing color schemes for years, like REALLY struggled. I was recently diagnosed with ADHD at age 30 after having powered through it (with no small effort) for decades, and my suspicion is that this has played a major role in the type of obsessive indecisiveness that has delayed very many projects in the hobby for me. I imagine that others may be able to relate to this as well. One thing I would recommend to anyone who feels like they have a similar issue is to take a step back from printed and published resources and try to remember what you found really appealing at your first glance. In other words, try to remember what the models or army looked like that sparked your interest in them in the first place. Then use THAT scheme to paint a few chaff/troop/battleline models. At which point you can revisit your sources of inspiration and decide if there is anything you'd like to modify, and if there is, pick 1-2 elements you want to add or subtract and paint another batch of models. It is very important that you do not let yourself obsess and "research" a bunch of stuff while you are in the process of finishing as batch of models, as this is ultimately what paralyzes you and keeps you from making actual progress. You want to avoid overstimulating yourself with too many ideas in a period of time where you need to stick to one or two ideas. As you complete more and more of your models, you will feel more invested and confident in your choice and be less prone to what I'd call "progress paralysis." Hope someone finds this a bit helpful, as this is what I wish someone told me years ago.

    Picking a good scheme can be challenging especially for people like me who want most new army projects to have a general theme and their own color scheme. I do find the look at existing schemes for inspiration as a great tool. Sometimes you'll just have an idea hit you which you then expand on and finalize. I do this all before I even decide to buy a single mini. If i can't think of a good theme to go with i often will not bother starting that army. themes can be pretty basic as well. Oh all the armies i play have no X. What armies excels at X thing and go off that.

    One of the tricks I use to do is to pick a color scheme from a different army that I like. You can pick perfectly a Stomcast Eternal scheme to do a Space Marine (or chaos). Armor over clothes schemes are perfectly switchable between armies (Tau-GenestealersCult-ImperialGuard-Votann).

    Another thing I do personally that helps me is figuring out the personality of what I want to paint. It helps hone in on the scheme I want. For instance I love Iron Warriors but I wanted to make a custom warband. I wanted them to be Slaanesh worshippers but their worship came in the form of excessive greed of others riches and technology. So I made the trim dark silver but their armor is a gold with purple in their loincloths, eye lenses, etc.

    Doing the digital mock up is a great idea. Lyla Mev goes over doing stuff like that too in some of her videos, but she usually uses a much fancier (and kind of intimidating) program to do it. Using a transparent brush on like MS Paint is great idea, and much more accessible. Also, seeing how you use pop colors to such a subtle affect is really helpful. Thanks for another great video!

    Great video Vince! Feel like this is a massive topic that doesn't get spoken about enough and these are some great tips. :) One thing I also find often a problem is when I find too many cool schemes for an army and I can't decide on one. I've done this many times with my Nighthaunt over the years and have so many models in my collection from different ideas and in different schemes it can be really hard to just lean into one.

    For a great many of mini/army painters their background isn't from anything creative, let alone using paint. So it can be daunting to come up with color themes without much experience. A good shortcut is look at things for inspiration. Maybe you like a certain car in a certain colorway and can apply that motif to your marines. Maybe some warcraft armor from a decade ago is your jam, paint that. Inspiration can come from anywhere, it doesnt have to be from your codex. When I do army painting I alter 1 part of the color pallet, or color layout, to make them my own and in some cases to make it more efficient to paint.

    6. Maintain hue contrast: complementary colors look better than adjacent. 7. Saturation and brightness contrast is just as important: 3 equally saturated and bright colors look cheap unless you're painting a clown. make one dark for unimportant secondary stuff and the other desaturated for highlighting focal points. 8. Analogous colors work best in gradients: e.g. an orange panel next to a red panel looks bad, whereas red-orange panel is ok. 9. Less is more: when adding more colors to the scheme, it's getting harder to ensure they don't conflict with each other. 10. If you really want to have a multitude of colors think about space "contrast": a. don't place similar colors near each other; b. give colors different amount of model's surface. 11. In my experience the best combination is 1-2 complementary colors plus one outstanding that doesn't take a lot of space and goes in gradient from highly saturated to white.

    Hi Vince. Really like the idea of a digital mock up. Going to order myself a colourwheel. Strangely although the digital mock up is a great idea I also love the feel of something physical in my hands (!) I suppose this need would also be fulfilled by the physical test figure. It's also nice to have my free form attitude to schemes validated by a pro painter such as yourself. I don't play TT and I'm not entering Golden Demon - I model/paint for pleasure and relaxation so not painting my minis (or indeed my models) according to canon is the norm. One more thing - yaaay Larry! 😁

So I don’t want to think about about color scheme to much and instead build up my airbrush skill. But I don’t like official color scheme. So I think I take official color scheme and tweak one color slightly and that would work great for me. Thanks for suggestion!

    There are great open source alternatives to things like Photoshop, Krita for example. Just in case you might want to see if a big scary program will help you, don't worry though, they're not so scary really. They do have some significant advantages though: Layers, different ways to combine the colour information on those layers ( a big one here is using a layer set to multiply or screen on top of an image of a grey model, as this is kind of like actually painting on the model), better selection tools like lasso, polygonal lasso or the magic wand (using those you could also do fast mockups of kitbashes up front)

    One point I would add are: Think about the Base beforehand. I painted Custom Black Templars where i used Blue as my secondary color for cloth and other parts that are usually red. Now that can work, but the bases are also dark and ice themed. While bases that look similar to the mini can work usually having a distinct color scheme for the base makes the Mini pop more. On a different note: how do you use a color wheel when 2 of your main colors are black and white? I always had issues, adding different colors (even 2 more) to my Black Templars without it looking to crowded.

    Really nice summary of what I wish I'd known when I sat down to paint my first army a long time ago. Question: how do you go about thinking about colour schemes when most of the real estate on the model is neutral (e.g. black armour; brown robes)? I usually end up tinting browns toward red or orange, or tinting the highlights on the black toward blue, but sometimes you just want a neutral black or white.

  • @VinceVenturella

    @VinceVenturella

    Simple answer - I don't paint those models. ;) - Serious answer, yes, integrate some colors into your blacks - browns, blues, reds in the shadows, all sorts of options and then also look for the opportunity to work in those pop colors on the other elements of the miniature.

    13:16 well... Stripping a freshly painted model is very easy and very fast. If you have a bath of your favorite degreaser ready to go, just do it. Might not do much, but if it makes you feel good, why not. On the other hand, if you never stripped a model before, go with what Vince suggest and paint over it. My point: there are no absolutes.

    Hi Vince lovely video, I was going to ask if you had any tips on how to start actually painting a scheme, but you answered that in your last point. I have been putting off painting my Stormcast, as I’m not sure how to pull off a matte black armour without it looking flat or grey - guess I’ll build myself a Larry the Stormcast and start testing! Also if you have any tips for frozen over armour for Stod, would love a video on that.

    Sure, tilt them into hues - green brown, red brown, orange brown, and so on. Then plan your scheme accordingly and where you have opportunities to use colors (leaves, vines, flowers, insects), then go for those and plan with the scheme. I have some videos in the playlist about painting sylvaneth, so check those out as well.

    Hey Vince how about color schemes where a metallic is the primary color I am having some trouble coming up with one that I like for a color scheme I feel should work (Steel with Orange pauldrons and purple as the remaining color but I cannot seem to make it work (in theory this color scheme should work but I am having a hard time of it)

  • @VinceVenturella

    @VinceVenturella

    Жыл бұрын

    So often, with steel, you can assume it to be a blue color (it's generally reflecting blue light, so it becomes soft blue effectively). Orange and Blue will will fine, but adding the purple is tough with that scheme, as it's likely too close Effectively, you aren't on the color wheel in a logical way. If that third color was a desaturated blue-green or something similar, you would have a good scheme I believe.

    The Leagues of Votann I did recently is Orange primary and white secondary, which is generally I think a good way to go, but the key is one is the majority color and the other is a minimal pop color.

  • @xenoterracide

    I feel like the one thing missing from this is how to choose non primary colors. For example an obliterator has a ton of stuff on it that wouldn't necessarily match your primary color scheme. Really anything with a ton of cabling or flesh or whatever. Sometimes stuff like gun holsters is pretty easy because you can just go with a leather color and it tends to match up pretty well with just about any color scheme. Other things that you don't want to look leathery and so you have to find something that matches but it's not going to be your primary three colors (usually). That's been one of my problems anyways.

    One thing about painting my Tau gungnam crisis suit army that tortured me was that I wanted to paint my Tau to look like MINE. So I “had” to use “my awesome” color scheme. But I didn’t like any color scheme I made better that the regular Tau or Viorla Septs GW already made. So for MONTHS I didn’t touch the tau I wanted to paint. Now I’m happy I just picked one of those GW color schemes and my army looks awesome.

    Hey Vince I've got a strange army colour scheme problem that is admittedly entirely self inflicted that I was hoping you might be able to give some advice on how to execute it. When I was doing my "looking for inspiration" step with the Lumineth, I ended up coming across an image of a Dawnrider painted in this amazing Rainbow colour scheme that I was so inspired by I ended getting my first box of Wardens as a result. The problem is, I don't know how to realize this colour scheme on an army wide level. I have tons of cool ideas for the leaders and centerpieces (like having the cathallar have a dress that's red at the neckline but goes through the rainbow until it's purple at the bottom, or having the E&E twins each be half the rainbow, one warm one cold, or sticking a rainbow led in eltherion, or having the mountain cow be made of gemstones or bismuth instead of boring rock, or having the banner be an massively ornate pride flag) but I'm at a loss as to how to have that theme present on the smaller and more numberous battle line models. Like, the wardens for example, I've got the start of an idea (white armor, gold trim, rainbow plumes in their helmets) but then... How do I do their cloth skirts? The three ideas I've come up with are 1) have each member of the squad have a different primary cloth colour so that when they're lined up they make a rainbow together. 2) is just have every battleline squad have a different cloth colour and achieve a rainbow that way (like, red squad, orange squad etc.) And 3) is to just give up and have the primary cloth colour be the same across the entire army (maybe like blue or purple to contrast the gold) You haven't done a HC episode on rainbows in any capacity (I imagine because it's generally a mistake to try to include that maybe colours on a mini) but I'm committed enough to my cool leader idea that I want to make this work somehow, and I was hoping you'd either be able to tell me which oh my ideas work best, or have some fourth option I hadn't considered, or just some advice on how to pull this army concept together. Also, p.s. while my lumineth remain unpainted, HC as been invaluable for my Dark Angels and assorted d&d minis. So thanks for making all these videos.

    Glad to help, I would keep the rainbow elements to pop elements and go for a singlular color across the skirts and so on. You are right that it's a very difficlt thing to integrate becase it has too many colors that are all saturated to build it all in. The much harder answer is to try to modulate each color across the rainbow into evenly dispersed ways. In this case, you would be using all the colors (with maybe the yellow standing in as gold), but then you are really desaturating the other colors or using off tones/pale tones, etc.
