Absolutely love the chill vibes and realistic levels of painting, too many channels have a thousand steps for their standard battle-line marines, you manage to make them look just as good!
As always really really helpful. I'm painting my first Orcs now...by accident. Originally my Nephew wanted to paint them, but I think he overestimated his painting capabilities and his motivation to spend the time. Now we switched, he is painting necrons, I do Orcs. (And I think I underrated the time that I need and my lack of competence😂...yeah,we're relatives, without a doubt)
A great video and just what I needed after a very difficult weekend and a stressful driving lesson. I'm sure I'm not the only person who uses your videos to relax and unwind. As well as valuable tips, explained well, you are a kind of therapist. Thanks.
Your videos are great, but just a suggestion that you could use a brighter light, or maybe to adjust the brightness on your camera so its easier for us to see at home.
I don't paint chest eagles on rank and file troops - there's no point. In my mind, the rank and file Space Marines don't get highlighted armor details until they become sergeants or something like that. That's waht I'm doing on my Primaris Deathwatch right now. Saves so much time! Good stuff in this video.
You're a braver man than I! I don't think I could entirely skip the eagles... highlights, for sure - you should have seen my old Iron Hands - but the eagles gotta have a little something something or I get twitchy! 😅
80% of the job can be done in 20% of the time. Then it's really important to identify toose 80%. Your painting template is absolutely efficient. Great job. Dark green again after the dry brush is excellent : the mini is clean again in just a few seconds.
the chalkiness in his lower limps legs and feet that is , is good because if you drybush a bit more with a light brown or grey it will be instant dust effect....i love your tutorial!! also the chect eagle i tend to find that worn brushes with long points do the trick because they can get in there and paint from afar and if i make a mistake and touch something else then that is more easily fixed ..
Very quick, naturally D. Angels are some of the easier SM to paint, but neverthless an useful tutorial for whoever wants to build an army. Perhaps you should make a serie of videos about how to fast painting the early chapters!
Hi! Sorry for the oot question, but Im a long time painter and new to 3d printing. Ive noticed all your printed models come out amazingly. I now have enough money to spend on a 3d printer, which one do you use? Would you recommend an even better one? Im a bit of a detail freak lol
If you're comfortable working with resin and have a space to keep a machine, the Elegoo Mars line are a good choice. I've had the original Mars, a Mars 2 Pro, and now a Mars 3. They're reliable, easy to use, and give good results.
This looks great and it's so straightfoward and simple! I have struggled with my Dark Angels, they always feel a little darker than I want. I wonder if undercoating with a brighter primer like grey or white would brighten things up even more? Or would that complicate the process too much to be worth it? Thanks for the great tutorial as always.
Starting from a grey might give a slightly lighter finish, but if you want them to be brighter it's probably worth just beginning from a brighter shade of green. Waaagh Flesh is a similarly rich green, but with a couple shades you could knock it back so it looked more Dark Angels-ish? It's all according to taste!
Dry brushing: You can cut down on the chalkiness by having a slightly damp brush. The GW way of dry brushing by having a bone-dry brush and removing as much paint as possible is a bit antiquated. Also, all of the dry paints I've purchased from GW with the exception of Ryza rust have been dry to the point that they were actually rubbery and useless. Not a good product in my opinion. It takes practice, so I recommend working on a test model before trying the damp brush technique out on an army model.
