god no. that is incredibly laborious. and if I was only going to drop a dark colour into the recesses GWs crappy washes would definitely not be my first choice. I like vallejo inks for that.
I would wash the white with diluted army painter inks then correct with airbrush if necessary. Pro tip: you don't dilute washes with water.
Since the product is supposedly a wash, it's kind of funny that he wont wash that model. (because those washes suck out of the bottle and they know it)

I actually do a lot of my washing like that on flat/smooth armour now, even on non-white colours. I find it a good balance between simply washing the entire model and calling it a day (quick and dirty method) and washing the entire model then layering the colours back up (too time consuming for me).
I can wash white and have it not look like ass. You need to correctly dilute the army painter ink wash. Start experimenting with different acrylic mediums and see what works.

It looks good to me. And I have never had problems with their washes.

If you want to do it the easiest and best way then you would obviously use a gloss coat followed by an oil wash, but the video is showing basic methods using GW products. I can't agree with your complaints about the wash myself. I doubt any acrylic was can be used as is over white without looking smudgy.

That newest video was actually quite helpful! I am looking at most of my power weapons with a little disdain now since I never had any idea on how to get that sort of effect on them. I may leave them metal as their base, but apply the blue effect on them to get the powered up effect. Very nice.

Is the whole Advent calendar this year dedicated to this Path to Glory nonsense? What if I'm not into Chaos? Nothing for me? I was hoping for another run culminating in something as awesome as the Cypher Dataslate.

I am going to give the Nemesis Force weapon tutorial some practice, but on a regular power weapon. Probably going to leave a fair amount of the regular metal exposed with just the edges glowing.

It is. Now if only I didn't suck, it would have probably worked out better for me. My test piece did not turn out well at all. I painted the power core part on most models using the technique though.

The only one that got pulled and reposted was the first one AFAIK. All of the links I've posted are still good.

Yeah, that all you will get, Black library short stories for AoS and 40k involving Chaos, and Path to Glory for AoS and 40k and the Paint tutos vids...
Yeah i know, would have been more interesting if the Path to Glory was like only 4-5 articles and the rest was dataslates and such.
Odd, can't seem to find them on the Warhammer TV page itself.
Yeah GW has them unlisted initially and then eventually lists them.
They're probably just messing about and unlisting them again because reasons (no doubt some bored intern it trying to stave off his boredom))
Odd, can't seem to find them on the Warhammer TV page itself.
I was also looking for them yesterday and only the first 3 were listed on the actual WH TV page, as you mentioned. But the links above worked just fine. Odd, that.
The videos appear to have been uploaded as private the last several days, but I believe they fixed that now.

The problem with the 'vote with your dollar' response is that it doesn't take into account why we're not buying the product. I want to enjoy 40k enough to buy back in. It was my introduction to traditional games, and there was a time when I enjoyed it very much. I want to buy 40k, but Gamesworkshop is doing their very best to push me away, and simply not buying their product won't tell them that.
