The reason why GW doesn't recommend metallic paints for the whole armor is because that's not metal. It's ceramite, which is supposed to be actually matte.

decal set IS vinegar, you can just buy regular white vinegar and dilute it a bit with water - if you have any decals that won't conform completely after this then dilute alcohol (such as isopropyl) again with a little water and use that carefully just on the decal itself, this will also soften the decal to get it to lay flatter against the model

16:32 I have to say, your running commentary keeps me chuckling throughout the video.

I love that you are sharing your discoveries and your painting adventure with all of us. My honest opinion, seeing others paint up a squad that each unit has a slightly different painting process applied through experimentation, that while the overall scheme is similar, it is easy to pick out unique units within the squad. We all love paint schemes that tie everything together across an entire army, but the small subtleties between each model makes the whole thing feel more real.

Just a note, canonically the space marine armour is made of two materials, ceramite (a ceramic) and plasteel, an incredibly stronog plastic-like material. Hence, the armour is generally matte not metallic. Then you have the chapters who have metallic armour, I guess they paint it that way. Who the fuck knows, paint it how makes you happy.

Nope Carl will paint it according to the codex and nothing else will matter other than the words in that book. Screw creativity and definitely screw you if you didn’t bother to learn the full lore of the model you’re about to paint.

The first model you showed at 14:14 was my fav, looks absolutely stunning and realistic.

Perhaps its just me but I think the model looked better without the white edge highlights? The airbrush job just looked so nice and clean, and was of course already properly lit all the way from black to light blue, almost in a way that the edge highlights detracted from that.

@Groundeffected

In a way I agree but also I do prefer the edges to be white I like the contrast of the colour against the blues. But you’re allowed to like it at any stage and if you were replicating the paint you could use it however you felt best.

@Groundeffected

Жыл бұрын

I mean if we’re gonna be technical about it it’s not so much ceramic as it is a ceramic based material called ceramite which is a composite material. However it’s very clearly painted and in the paintings of the entire world of warhammers they look to be painted like cars with a candy or vibrant style paint job. Not a single illustration shows them with flat one toned desaturated colours. This makes me question why not use a metalic colour to illustrate the look from the artwork more accurately for beginners. It’s cool though I’ve figured out how I want them to look, and obviously anyone can do whatever they want with their little plastic toy soldiers.

Looks amazing! If I ever get an airbrush I will give this a try!

Dude. Try this method it’s so easy and looks so sick even if it’s not lore accurate who cares we don’t sweat as much as that hahaha

I love that tron/ eavy metal look. I need to practice edge highlighting. Gonna start a Black templar army starting with the emperors champion model and i think im gonna for the 'eavy metal look to practice my edge highlighting. they look so awesome my dude!! im gonna steal that oil paint trick for the panel lining/ wash

So I use a very very similar method to batch paint more organic and textured models. Think Skeletons for D&D. The steps are: Prime Black Zenethal the entire model with white Black wash the entire model Drybrush white (With a similar volumetric lighting style to what you did in this video.) I find drybrushing works best for textured models as opposed to smooth space marine armour, however a combination of volumetric airbrushing and drybrushing could work very well for space marines. Go ham with contrast/speedpaints etc, through an airbrush or with a brush. Any combination of undershading/edge highlighting etc can be used if you want but isn't necessary. This gives you the ability to give great contrast between high and low points of the model with really really dark shadows, without tea staining (you do tea stain when you wash the whole model, but then cover it with drybrushing) and even effectively edge highlighting for you as your drybrushing catches all the raised edges much better than a airbrush can. This can also be applied to metallics, just zenethal and drybrush with your metallic rather than white.

Um no I haven’t used much contrast I just tried them for my ultras because I heard about the new colours and I wanted to test them.

Back in the 80's when I first started painting, there really wasn't any dedicated mini painting equipment beyond horrible enamel paints and limited acrylics. A lot of us used a similar technique by sketching on volumetric highlights with a brush (airbrushes were too expensive) over black and then painting over everything with inks and mixing in any extra highlights whilst the ink was still wet. Finally, black ink was mixed with a warm or cold colour and used for 'black lining'.

Great vid, lots to try for myself here.
