Bought this set yesterday and a paint set, did my first mini and omg those shoulder details 😭 I only found this vid now and can 100% relate to the over lapping 😅
Your Paint-A-Longs are so de-stressing , you speak clearly and I understand everything you say , and your paint speed is slow enough for me to actually paint along and not be worried of messing up . :)
Cool I just bought and painted my first mini ever the other day watching your other building+paint videos, I made a mess with the white details but overall it was okay, i'm now gonna replicate your first color scheme of this video on my next intercessor (sadly just priming with abad. black with brush) but this time with a new set of brushes and a mini handle.
Gonna be painting up and customising the hell out of one of these soon enough to give to a friend who's just starting, as his set had a run in with his little cousin who destroyed it before he got the chance to paint it. Give em the ol black templars treatment.
A little late I know but just a heads up for anyone thinking about doing this, keep in mind the shoulder pad has a Ultramarines emblem molded into it (thank you this video for pointing that out to me almost made this same mistake) Not a huge deal but will disqualify the model from being any other chapter for serious events, just a though to keep in mind. If you’re just gonna mess around with friends, or you don’t care if your first 3 models can’t play in a serious event for your army then go for it. But just remember you’ll have to work around that emblem.
I suspect if one is really dedicated a file or a rotary tool could be used to remove the emblem, but that is way beyond what one would expect from a beginner 😂
Thanks so much for doing I want to get into painting and find it intimidating how good people are at making things look so good. This really breaks it down.
This is the second paint a long video of yours I've watched and I gotta say I'm a fan. I like the way you incorporate the "pause button" after every step. It really gives the feeling that I am painting right along with you in the entire process. I realize that I normally pause, rewind etc many painting tutorial videos I watch to get a better understanding of the painters process and techniques but yours is presented in a unique way and I enjoy it. 👍and a subscription from me sir.
Thank you for this tutorial Is very usefull the approach yo take in this one, giving the three options on how color them. Wait your necron tutorial now, Excellent work!
I got the $100 variant and man I wish I started small and simple... but I loathe the Ultra Marines so I tried painting em red lol. This is very useful and helpful! I hope you’ll do one on the newest set :))
Wonderful video, just cracking out my army for the first time in 17 years so this was a great refresher before I go into the deep dive of fixing all my young self’s BS blobby job.
Glad you liked it 😊 I am lucky/unlucky that I don't have my armies from the 90s anymore. I would love to still own some of those sculpts, but I am also glad I don't have to remember grade school Me's 'amazing' paint jobs 😅
@@SleepyWhatsIt I've got everything ;) including even the retro early 00's and even 90's boxes that I got them in. I wish I could post pictures here I got all the boxes all setup in a display behind my table now. But yes that "I did a good job" paint job for me uh..isn't haha.
@@Xanderk1203 Now I am wondering if I should have kept all my boxes for the new stuff I bought since getting back into the hobby, cause in 20 years I am going to want to make a display out of it.
The reason that we undercoat black is so that if there's any small crevices or things like that that we don't fully fill in with other base colors the black just appears as a dark shadow as opposed to a bright point in the shadow. Also a black undercoat means that as we build up our base colors we can be selective about where we put down a second layer to create some shadowing. Normally I would have just primed these black when painting this style, but the kit doesn't actually come with a primer of any sort so I wanted to show putting the black paint on something that looks like the model plastic like a gray primer instead of magically having a black model.
Cool video, I really like how your models turned out. I will be painting my fist miniatures in a couple of days when they arrive, but haven’t settled on what brushes to use. Any recommendations?
Something like a decent art store nylon brush like Taklon Golds are a good place to start. They are reasonably priced and serviceable. Other than the starter brush and the drybrushes from Citadel I don't have much experience with GW's brushes, so cannot say if they are good or bad. They are kinda available everywhere and I know a lot of people use them, but I have never heard people singing their praises. Reaper Miniatures makes a solid well priced line of both nylon and sable brushes that I definitely would recommend. They are what I started with. My goto currently are Rosemary & Co Series 33 brushes which are good quality but affordable sable brushes. Their major issue is that they are based in the UK so depending on where you are they may take a long time to ship.
Generally no, unless you are going for a specific effect/less shading. You might want to thin them and do multiple layers so you have more precise control.
I restricted my self to the paints from this kit, www.games-workshop.com/en-CA/Space-Marines-Paint-Set-CA-2020, and I only used the starter brush from that kit. I highly recommend using a better brush if you have one, since the Citadel Starter brush doesn't hold a point well and generally isn't a good brush.
This kit is the for the current edition, 9th. Are you referring to this style of marine, www.games-workshop.com/en-CA/Space-Marine-Tactical-Squad-2020? Those are the older traditional pre-Primaris marines. They are still playable, but are significantly older sculpts and GW has been pushing the new Primaris marines via updated rules, etc.
If you are planning on playing with them yes, otherwise the paint will tend to rub off from handling. I primed light grey and then painted the undercoat blackt, but something like GW's Chaos Black or another black primer would save you a step.
I am not sure, I would suggested contacting independent game shops, they may still have some in stock, or ordered more as part of the Made To Order thing they did.
I am sort of unsure of what you are asking. I think you are asking about time between coats of black. Often by the time I have completed a coat I can start applying the second coat where I started the first coat, i.e. if I start at the head and work down to the feet, I can immediately start again at the head. If I have thinned my paint a bit more then normal or it is humid, I may have to wait a few minutes. You are wanting the first layer to be dry to the touch, I.e. when you apply more paint the initial layer isn't being moved by brush strokes.
seems kinda useless to paint the whole model black if you didn't prime it in black, just paint the joints in black and save yourself some paint, the rest is not gonna be black anyway
In this case I primed light and undercoated black for slightly misguided pedalogical reasons, to show using two thinned coats for getting coverage. The final cut of the video didn't really make that point well and it probably just confuses people. For a project like this, like I said in the video, I would recommend priming black. Beyond that though I think there is a potential reason someone might paint this way. Specifically if they only have one colour of primer, that is not black. Given the overall dark tone of this paint scheme, I would probably still recommend undercoating black. Since this paint scheme is relative dark a black undercoat will hide minor mistakes in the base layers, where you didn't get complete coverage into the nooks and crannies. Dark over light primer can be particularly unforgiving in this regard, since any coverage issues will be bright white spots, often in areas that should be shadows.
