The Secret to Perfect 40k Heroes! 

that banner turned out so so good! The idea of "dont paint the hero models different, just paint them the same+" definitely makes things much more cohesive and forces you to really see how far you can push your normal army painting recipe - and even find quick things you can add to your batch painting steps too

While I do prefer the paintjob on the newer one, and it's a very nice paintjob, I must say I prefer the old one. Not because of any fault of yours, but it's simply a model I've seen many times before. The old marshall is a model I've never seen, since it's a kitbash, and it's that uniqueness that I always love to see when playing against someone

I have so much red cloth to paint with Ashes of Faith coming out and I can't tell you how much I needed to see you paint that cape. Those highlights are so nice on the shoulder. Also can't deny the new Marshal is superior to the old 👀

I second the decal demand! Especially when Games Workshop has gotten legal with 3rd party decal makers for lesser chapters. At minimum if they have a special rule or character that is official we should either be able to buy them or put like a big sheet in boxes. I mean how hard would it be to downsize the 90 blueberry decals to maybe just a squads worth and give some successors some love?

You present things in such an easy to understand and digestible way. I have watched hundreds, maybe thousands of painting videos/tutorials, but I dont think any have helped inspire and further my understanding of painting minis quite like yours. The new marshall looks phenomenal, keep up the brilliant work!

Found your videos about a week ago. I have since bought all the recruit edition items and set up a full paint station and spent roughly 5 hours painting a single space marine last night. Thank you for your service.

Old Marshal tells a more unique hobby story. I can almost imagine a young player getting excited about using his kitbashed captain in a 40k battle ! The new one is going to look great on the shelf but I don´t think he is going to see much tabletop time.

This video finally gave me courage to start working on my own Marshal that I kitbashed half a year ago and have been afraid to paint ever since. Thanks you!

Love watching your videos, learned so much going through your content! Keep up the great work!

It looks awesome, Jay. Your technique is uniquely yours and really gives your models character. Thanks for sharing your video with us.

Thoroughly enjoy your insane amount of painting techniques. Could have sworn you had finished your gold exploration but this gold was new and amazing! Shine on that armor is incredible! Painting all those non-GW models really has you making strides.

Really well done, Jay! I think it’s my favorite paint job of yours that I’ve seen.

Awesome job! Definitely worth the extra time. RU-vid permitting, I'd love to see more of these many hours into one model videos ❤

That is an excellent paint job on an amazing mini. Really well done.

Great mini, lots of different tips and tricks. One of the better guides I've seen in a bit.

He looks amazing! Well done! Definitely worth the time and effort.

My favorite painting tutorial of yours so far

the gold stripe on the cape might be my favorite detail ive seen you paint, well done

Man, the quality on that paintjob is incredible. Great job!

Never seen a face painted with those colors but i love it. And the way you highlighted the cape is definitely a technique i will use in the future.

Very Crispy result! i love it! Excellent presentation of your process as well!

This is the first nmm gold I actually like. Very classy. The very extreme highlights are soooooo good

You are a painting beast, Jay. New one is fantastic

Absolutely gob smacking! Love your painting style and love your videos! Thank you 😀

Looks brilliant my friend . Great work

I really like the old one. He just feels less over the top. Both are fantastic though, great work on all accounts.

Badass paintjob on both 🤘🤘 that red really adds a new element

Both are stunning. Well done!

Ahhhh! Thanks Jay this was the perfect video I just needed to paint the same captain, but of course in my custom black swords space marine chapter colours of course.

Really wonderful mini paint job... thanks for sharing

Honestly, this is a really good job. I 100% agree with HQ units being done up like your troops but with additional details. Getting them done up the same as your troops allows you to field them if you don't have the time to go the whole nine yards in one day, but by adding onto the standard paint job, your heroes come alive Good luck on your crusade against the Blue Orks

Love it, you inspired me to start a BT army. I'm roughly 1000 points in now.

Never been here this early before. But this looks so good!! And I didn't realize that royal capes are lined, I will definitely take that into consideration when painting my models.

Love how the new one looks in that paint job and the details. And I am tempted to try a Ying-Yang symbol like that banner one day. Have to give a shoutout to the old once since first born are gone the way of the Dodo now.

The flashlight is a great tool for understanding highlighting I didn’t think of myself. Thank you for sharing!

Undercoat black primer then position your light source take a photo of the model from all the different angles then you don’t have to go back and forth with the torch. You could edge highlight all the armour too to further define the shapes.

Great video more of your painting and basing always welcome

Another day, another Eons of battle 🥰

I like both marshals but I have to say I think I prefer the old once since it feels more unique and he’s named and kitbashed. You should totally do a video where you remake Clairvox and Warmund in primaris

Awesome paint job on your new hero! I had the same model but I used the Power fist as the right hand weapon and placed on the helmet to make him look like a juggernaut.

That looks incredible!

He looks awesome great job Jay

watching this video was very inspirational. makes me wanna make really cool detailed heroes like this

This video was great! Love some good tutorial full of useful tips!!!❤🎉

Fox looks absolutely amazing, but man Firstborn marines just hit different 🧡

So freakin' good!!! You deserve a golden demon award!!!

The new one is absolutely amazing, I love it.

some damn good tips in this vid, Jay. thank you!

Fantabulous job.. well done.

I love the look! Great vid.

You have really grown in your painting like it a lot. :)

Amazing video as always ❤

Great Job. Love your work

Holy Shit! Fox came out awesome! Giving me lots of inspiration for my own hero. Thanks for sharing your process!

Amazing job! Love your creativity

Nice video jay I love watching your videos

What a beautiful mini!

Wow, he looks sick! Watching your channel made me want to paint up a black Templar army more and more 😂

Fantastic. Great job

Incredible model. incredible video.

Wow, that model turned out great!

That is one hell of a clean paint job man

You are amazingly talented ❤

Both paint jobs look amazing. Bit those bits on the old marshall are *chefs kiss* We need a primaris van vets with pretty bits

Love the decals. Gutted that they're 22 UK, all my iron hands could literall be any one except for the iron father and my venerable dread because I free handed an aweful insignia. Btw in regards to who is better, your old marshal is amazing but the new guy in gravi I just leagues above. Brother you inspired me to try harder with my painting, to make my miniatures look actually good. I learn from your videos while every thing is nice and chill and I've noticed since I've been watching you my painting has improved and the actual desire to paint, it no longer feels like something I have to do to get them table ready, it's something I want to do, I'm even painnting stuff that has no relevance to my army like I recently painted a DND hellwasp for fun. I guess I'm trying to say thank you for opening my eyes these past few months to a side of the hobby I didn't realise could be this enjoyable.

While the new one is absolutely an improvement on the old one, the old one still has a lot of charm. You should try and create an updated version of him and see how much better you could make him.

Great video, I learned a lot!

Executed perfectly. Shared a few new ideas with me in this one. Cheers

I appreciate the "paint them exactly like your normal troopers...and then you add to them" sentiment. Because yeah if I know what the baseline should look like and be painted like, then I know how I go about painting all the extra bits and details.

Wow he looks so good 👍👍

Awesome work

Flashlight sweet trick thanks for that, like your gold recipe too, haven't seen that before

Excellent job! Bravo!!! I wish you would do more painting videos because you are talented

this is just amazing

Marshall Fox is the winner here. Remarkable and inspiring work! Thanks for making this video.

I like your method. It’s quite agile. After the essential paint job, you can call it done at any point, and concentrate only to those places you feel need something extra special.

This guy is so excited to paint minis. I love it.

Dude. He looks awesome.

So nice! The cape 🤤

he turned out lovely ;)

oh my god the back banner! yes!!! thats exactly what this model was missing, ordering some bits now.

Awesome paintjob, Bit Tool much Eavy Metal Style for my Taste.

Lookin real good mane, lucky Fox! 😁

I prefer the older model for aesthetics and that classic look the new Marshall is 'fine' and nicely done with a more modern look ✌️ on a different topic I have a few different sheets of GW decals ' dark angels ( my original chapter a few millennium ago )and ultra marines for the symbols it's a pity that the sisters of battle don't have options beyond what is in the box

I have watched about 10 of your videos. Your public speaking is amazing man.

In terms of painting style....Yeah the new one is better, but in terms of model, there is a cool level of style and flare that the new one just dosent have. It whould be lovely to see you "re-kitbash" the old captain and paint him up with your new incredible painting skill. Lovely video J.

I love the paint job on the new one. it's much better, but sculpt for sculpt the old shines❤

Your old marshall feels like the right-hand man of the new one! Also whilst the new marshall is sooo much better I do think that the old one is very cute in like a toyish kinda way

This is the way I paint all my HQs. I get them 'done' the way everything else in the army does so I can then take a little extra time pushing a few highlights and adding contrast

You could enter this for golden demon bud. Amazing work!

Holy shit he looks absolute awesome!

Love both of them. I think you should have made some references to your old one, as if he had the primaris surgery and kept some of his old wargear.

Christ bless you, Fox looks amazing 🤩 but that old one is pretty cool too

I could watch your videos everyday! Oh wait... I do!

Totally going to steal that halved banner idea.

Great video!!!

As a 20years old BT collecter, i love them both 🙏🏻

your old marshall looks like a champion. Still great, but the new one is a definite improvement

Looks amazing…

Holy shit how good is this guy at doing this
