Warhammer TV Releases Seven-Minute Tutorial on Painting an Aeldari Vyper

Seven minutes and sixteen seconds is all it takes for Warhammer TV's Ollie to walk painters through one of the Aeldari range's most satisfying builds. The tutorial, published on March 18, covers the Vyper from base to finish and leans heavily on sub-assembly technique as its central lesson.

The Vyper earns a clean pitch from Warhammer Community before the video even starts: "Aeldari Vypers are sleek skimmers that offer a perfect compromise between the speed of a jetbike and the heavier armament of a grav-tank." The tutorial promises to back that up with brushwork, with the page framing it as a chance to "follow along as Ollie shows you how sub-assemblies make the process easier and why the Vyper is so much fun to paint."

The timing is deliberate. The tutorial landed alongside the modern Vyper kit's recent release, giving painters a direct path from unboxing to finished model without having to piece together techniques from scattered forum threads.

The Vyper tutorial sits alongside a busy run of Warhammer TV content. The latest video block on Warhammer Community includes a 7-minute-29-second tutorial on painting Mortis Reapers for Age of Sigmar, a Dark Heresy character reveal at 1 minute 16 seconds, and the Warhammer TV Spring Season 2026 Trailer running at 10 minutes 51 seconds.

The broader Aeldari hobby moment is real. Hobby site Tale of Painters recently compiled its top five Aeldari posts in response to a wave of new kits, noting that "fans of the pointy-eared Eldar have recently been blessed with many new plastic kits, including the new Aeldari Corsairs and the Vyper / Starfang." Painter Garfy's Wave Serpent showcase, built around a Craftworld Ulthwé colour scheme drawn from 2nd Edition, is among the five featured, complete with full paint recipes and an army shot.

For anyone who picks up a dark burgundy scheme, Tale of Painters flags it as equally suited to Craftworld Altansar or as the base for painting the Visarch, expanding the tutorial's reach well beyond the Vyper itself.
