Do you think if I did led belcher undercoat instead of the rusty red it could look rad w the black & dark reaper on top?

This black templar is what I imagine someone who's fought years and years against tyranids, chaos and orcs to look like. I really appreciate how you did something completely different with the armor. I think it looks fantastic and captures very well that black doesn't look pitch black anymore after it's banged up grimy from years of war. I really liked the Blood Angel but this one is even better in every way!

And now you have Blue Templars :D (blueish reflections only make sense with clear blue sky)

I know this video is 2 years old but god damn that’s the best BT I’ve ever seen, such incredible work I haven’t got the patience to go through all of this for one model, but this is the gold standard right here

I love how you show off the process on the shoulderpads ... too often people expect to start painting with the perfect plan.

like this style of painting as it gives the look of what a space marine would really look like in all types of environments. I would really like to see you try this method with a Imperial Fists.

I'm trying that and first results are... Interesting.

Doesn't read as black but does read as fucking awesome. Great work. How about grim dark Dark Angels, their cream armour!

Dark angels pls, I wanna try to pissoff my friend by painting his army´s scheme on the one space marine that I own much better than him haha.

This armor color is great for Space Wolves too.

As well as the fantastic paint job, I really appreciate the encouragement you give the painters who are watching. It gives me that extra motivation to just sit down and paint!

I know this is a 40k channel, but man, the Grimdark painting approach is PERFECT for Battletech! I wish I'd seen this ages ago, so I could make my Inner Sphere mechs look like the ancient, beaten-up war machines they were always supposed to be.

Absolutely brilliant results, I wasn't initially sold from the photos but seeing it in progress and action, this approach and scheme is great!

You've been pushing the video quality up and it shows, nice work dude, hopefully this format gives you more success!

I love the editing and different camera work, thanks for the great content as ever.

Brilliant mate, This really helps as the scheme I have is much darker and this applies so well compared to the blood angels one, even though the concept is the same. thanks mate :)

Glorious video! Thank you!

This was an awesome video Trov, I thoroughly enjoyed the look of the leather parts particularly, I’m seeing some comments saying “it’s not black enough” but nothing in nature is ever truly black and I think the blueness really sells the bases cold environment. With regards to the sponsor I do think it was a bold choice but if it’s a product you use and find beneficial and it helps pay your wage and make more content for us then I support it personally. I wouldn’t be where I am as a painter without your guides videos and feedback so thank you and keep doing you.

Thanks bud! You're right, I explained it elsewhere in the comments how pure colors on the white-grey-black spectrum looks odd to the eye because of that. But it's ok! I am only here to show options, if someone doesn't like that option...that's ok :) I am used to people telling me how I SHOULD for a decade or two ;) And yes! I knew there would be negative voices about the sponsor, but I actually do use it for when I am stressed or have anxiety (e.g. from reading too many negative youtube comments) and it really helps me. Better than any pharmaceutics could. I don't support unscientific claims like that it could help cure cancer or other nonsense, but this company doesn't claim anything like that, to my knowledge. I never take sponsors where I didn't have actual and positive experiences with the product. And yes, having sponsors helps being able to do the KZread videos. Without sponsors there wouldn't be any!

I loved this style for the Blood Angel and I love it for this. Black is always a tricky to do and I have to say I really like how you've done it. I mentioned in the live stream that coloured highlights on black are great for suggesting an environment and you nailed it with the blue hightlights and snowy base. He really looks like he's spent years crusading in the snowy wastes.

What a talent you have. So much details and perfect transitions. I love your art.

Awesome video again! This approach is so nice, it falls right into the mental picture I have of the grimdark 41st millenium. Very glad my humble mini made it into the reel. I have to vote for Raptors because that is what I'm playing, but I guess Salamanders or Dark Angels are close enough too. Thank you so much for taking the time to post these videos, keep up the work!

Yoooo thank you so much for putting my mini in the video!! I didn't expect to be in it that's so awesome!!! Thanks for all the awesome tutorials.

This scheme and your methods for doing it works great! 👌🏼 love the result. I would love to see your grimdark version of Imperial Fists

Well what a nice surprise! Spent yesterday looking online får grimdark BTs and found very little at all, but here you are! Awesome vid as always

Absolutely loved your tutorial it’s because of you i got motivated and tried the technique sold all of my ultramarines and switched to painting a whole blood angels army and to top it all of getting my picture shown here makes me even more motivated

Fantastic! Thank you so much for sharing!

Awesome video, love the way you got the look, loads of ideas and tips, thanks heaps. Keep up the great work.

Awesome! Thanks so much for sharing your process and the inspiration for my chaos marines

I was one of the comments you screen capped. Thank you very much. Your method is great, saved me from a false start. I was contemplating starting with hull red, rather than a mahogany. 👍🏻

For some bizarre reason I never watched the blood angel video, but I really like this approach. I don’t feel that this reads that black in my eyes, but the result really is beautiful. I wonder if toning down the highlight to basically end around dark reaper might be an idea. Thank you for all this inspiration!

I see what you mean. It almost looks like an extra grim dark ultramarine. I'd personally avoid bluish grays, but that is pretty limiting. I guess when doing anything that deviates from pure black, you almost have to pick a subtle hue to go with.

The snow touch was awesome. It’s fascinating to see that these little details can have a big impact on the whole piece.

This videos are amazing! Thanks for all your work, such a legend

lol gotta be honest, it looks like you pulled a sneaky on us and gave us a Grimdark Ultramarine with some Black Templar flair with how blue the armour turned out.

Inspiring video Christoph!

Been looking for a nice reference for my new bt army for ages. Your's just perfect. Thank you VERY much

I love this technique. It's a lot like the mottling texture I get on my tanks to make them look heavy and a bit chipped up with layers of paint. It really gives the Space Marines a nice hefty look.

Thank you, dude. You inspire and make me want to paint my Space Marines, and I haven't been looking forward to doing that. You are a great and welcome part of painting tutorial community. Keep up you amazing work and stay motivated. As for the next chapter: Maybe Imperial Fists? 🤔

This is my favourite black templar ever!! Awesome! Thak you so much

This is a great approach! Would be awesome to see a library of everyone's take on this method if possible as well! Keep up the good work :)

Great approach! Exact what I'm looking for, can't wait to try on my iron hand squard!

The final result looks awesome !!

Looks absolutely great! Will take this one as a reference for painting black armor.

so fresh! Amazing!

I loved this! It has inspired me to push my plague marines towards a grim dark style!

You've completely blown my mind with your gold technique. Gonna try it right away!

This was great man. I never thought of painting a black templar this way. I just got the combat patrol box the other day. Might just have a go with this technique thank you 👍

Great video , i was looking for a grim approach of the black armor and this perfectly answer to my issues , at such a point that i now want to do some BT too. You're far away the hobby painter i prefer to watch and i'm glad you do that at full time now , keep on that way and thank you very much for all your work. sorry for my english i'm french x_x

I’ve learned so much from your videos! I’d really love to see Space Wolves!

Black is limiting, like you talk about in the video, and I think you found a great compromise that reflects the cold, icy environment well, like others have mentioned. I'm looking forward to the next chapter! I'll be the only guy asking for a bone colored or white armor, but when I paint my marines, it'll be with a fairly unique, white-centric scheme. Also, the video editing is a lot better here, and I, personally, really appreciate seeing you share some of your experience as it relates to the sponsor. Great video!

Looking awesome 👍

Honestly, that tabard is probably my favorite piece of cloth I've ever seen on a mini and is the first thing to draw my eye looking at the finished piece. I'm excited to try that method on some future projects.

Great video, I followed this guide and it turned out great. I've been looking for a guide I could follow to paint my black templars and I've found it!

Looks heavy looks metal!!!! This is goin to help me enjoy my messy approach, didn't think people did this. you earned a follow!!

Damn, the battle song is played when it comes to metal edge highlight! Weathering + merging the water decal to the painted pauldron is unexpected and cool AF. It is nice to see the steps and reasoning behind the choice. Help us to be thoughtful & critical. Thanks for sharing!

Definitely going to use this technique on the next BT I paint. So good, Thank you.

Really enjoyed this!! Brilliant techniques

Top notch that, amazing work 👍

Knocked it out of the park with this one... Good job!

This is such a cool paint scheme. It would be really interesting to see a salamander in this style

This is so much cooler than the other black templar guides ive seen, more work but the results much better

Stunning😍

Oh My God(s)! That one came out excellent! I'm think how I may use this on my Black Legion. I'm painting Abadon for a display piece and i'm following Angels H tutorial right now. Maybe I will chance . Need to pain a test model fist (or two) Thanks for the great content!

Creating numerous kill teams lately and one of them is a team of assault marines all in a unique paint scheme. This one is definitely getting added to the list.

Awesome paintjob! I'd really love to see if your grimdark approach would also translate to other factions like Craftworld Eldar, Drukhari or even T'au!

Thank you for sharing you gave me some inspiration for my Death Company that I’m planning

God this looks so good, I actually love the blue tones and still read it as black. definitely going to try this style out.

Fantastic work.

It looks amazing ❤❤❤ and that technique you use looks really interesting

Wow, this is fantastic. I would love to see some ultramarines down in this style.

Amazing miniature. Outstanding job, even if I had a douth in the beginning. Imperial Fist is the core of my painting, and I already saw your Crimson Fist painting. Thank you for this tutorial. 😁

wonderful work

Stunning work and advice as always. Be interesting to see the technique used on a split colour scheme chapter like Howling Griffons

Whoa! That worn leather effect is amazing. Love it!

Beautiful work

You are insanely talented, and I am so envious, LOL. I am now torn between the idea of repainting my entire army in this fashion but daunted by the fact that I'll need to revisit some 300 infantry and vehicles.

This is brilliant. After I get through my backlog I'm excited to try an adapt this for my Bemplar army. Between your grim dark tutorials and the principles covered in Elroi_101's videos I'm excited to get going!

I love this technique so much. Thanks for showing your process. I’d love to see you tackle the Space Sharks chapter with these methods. Or the Relictors chapter. I’d like to see grey armor done in this method is what I’m getting at lol. Cheers!

Ive just got into miniature painting, and i love the look of the Black Templars…. I have just bought the army set…. Ive painted 2 of them and then found this video….. amazing…. I love the battle weary warrior you have created here….. pure veteran….. im not brave enough to attempt it myself but thank you for the vision….. i will try at some point, i have to!!

Great work. It shows that you stepped up your video editing skills. In one of your latest livestreams we talked about thinking outside of the box and I mentioned 52 miniatures style of making a video to you. The big transitional shots when he is simply walking outside or inspecting some old rusty tool. That is visually appealing and breaks the monotony of a video. I think you did a great job doing stuff like that in this video. You coming in with the black templar box, twirling it like you´re too cool for school (quite literally now). That really made me smile. You don´t have to film yourself in cinematic shots to do this stuff. I think you did it simple and fitting to your style of teaching us the way of the pigment!

So cool

Between this and the Blood angel video, I've definitely been inspired to try and replicate this as best i can for my Space wolves. That chapter would certainly get my vote if you're looking for inspiration. The snow base looks brilliant, so ill be going with that for my force.

I really like your approach to grimdark using acrylics only! Lovely painted mini. Perhaps we can get your take on Space Wolves next?

Love these grimdark looks and would love to see a ultramarine one.

excellent video gonna try this

Grimdark series is awesome! thats what i imagine a Space Marine looking like fighting for centurcies. i would love to see your take on a Salamander or Dark Angel mini
