If your new to painting make sure to practice on the extra bits as much as you can first. Take your time as well and try not to get discouraged if your struggling with highlighting. You can use magnifiers, I tend to use a pair of cheap reading glasses that help. It usually takes me 3 full days to paint one marine so don’t rush. You only have to paint these once 😁 good luck

You can never go too thin. Remember your not trying to cover in one go. I always go about 50/50 with water. Make sure to dab your brush on some paper towel as well with yellow. The pigment in yellow is very clumpy and doesn’t spread very well. You’ll probably do about 3 layers for best results

This is awesome and I love how you encourage confidence in us trying to either get back in the hobby or get better! As I'm trying to start building up the army again is it possible to see a tutorial on a predator tank? Thanks in advance from your neighbour from Canada!

Funny I've seen tons of imperial fists paint guides and very very few actually use imperial fist yellow😂

Love your videos and want to try your techniques while painting. Just wondering how do you glue the model pieces to the foam block? And is it easy to remove the pieces from the foam after for final assembly? Is their residue from the foam block that makes it hard to glue again?

So they’re not foam, they’re actually wooden Jenga blocks. I have a tutorial called getting miniatures ready for painting. I go through everything in that 😃

I’m desperate to paint an imperial fist army! I didn’t even know yellow was a difficult colour to paint with until I started researching what colours I need. Now I’m a little scared. I was just about to order the imperial fist strike force. But I may just test your method on a few space marines first. Thank you for doing one of the best tutorials on this great chapter. 👍🏼

I’ve been working on the best way to paint imperial fists since I started this hobby 😋 this tutorial kind of shows whats possible. I found with painting marines, especially fists is to take your time with them and do them slowly. For example you could just work on getting all the base colours painted first for the strike force. Then slowly work on them doing shading and highlights as you get more confident with it. I’m still working on getting my own done the way I’ve painted them in this video. It’s only been a couple of years so far 😂

it's not:) necessary, it just softens the transition. it kind of does the same thing as the chunky highlight does for th edge highlight. you may not see the impact but you would see the difference if it was there. try it out and see what you prefer

@TabletopReady How did you get the yriel so smooth? I've tried averland sunset as the base and yriel as a second layer, and it's really streaky no matter how I thin it down.

I talk about my whole process in the video. If your still finding it streaky then you havn't painted enough layers. the paint is more transparent when thinned so what your seeing is the ayers underneath still coming through

Daft question - what's the 'best' way to get the fit of the arms/gun sub assembly right? When doing it they always seem a bit off when I come to fit them post-painting.

@TableTopReadyYoutube

Жыл бұрын

That isn’t a daft question. I struggled with this as well. I could never get the fit right. I now have both arms attached to the weapon so I don’t have to worry about lining them up properly later. It’s better if you leave the shoulder pads off aswell so they don’t get in the way. It also makes it easier to paint them. Pause the video when you see all the sub assemblies I made, I find this is typically the best way to separate a marine. Hope that helps 😁

@JamesThompson-1

Жыл бұрын

@@TableTopReadyKZread that's the thing - even when attaching both arms to the weapon it seems a bit off, maybe because the plastic glue softens it up so the fit isn't right. Maybe that's a bit i should superglue for more accuracy .

Some plastic glues do take some time to set, super glue could be a solution. You could also use some blu tac and temporarily stick them in place on the body while the arm is glued to the glue. That’s what I use to do with the old marines before you had the little pegs. Make sure to check you have the right arms as well because I use to get that wrong as well haha
