No primer?
@DrunkOnTeaUK2 күн бұрын
There's no primer in the set, so I didn't use one. You can paint minis without a primer, a spray primer is better, but undercoating using a paint is fine. It just takes a few layers to build up to a solid base, and then you can paint on top. Before rattle can primers were common it's how a most people used to paint their minis.

Which one is better, Warcolours nostalgia 94 or Coat d'Arms?
@DrunkOnTeaUK2 күн бұрын
I personally prefer the Warcolours paints. I have a more recent video where I compare Coat D'arms, Warcolours, and the classic citadel paints. Coat D'arms are a bit too thin for my liking, Warcolours give better coverage, so make it a lot quicker to get those retro paint schemes looking right.

I'm about to paint one of these for the first time. What about blacking out the model first then blue on top?
@DrunkOnTeaUK4 күн бұрын
You can use the black as a base coat. Normally I recommend priming a model black using a spray primer, but just using the paints in the set, there is little point in starting off black. Painting it all blue as an undercoat and base coat at once just saves time over painting 3 or 4 layers of black and then painting a few layers of blue on top

Edge highlights take a bit of practice. A good point to the brush is essential, but also try using a small brush, any cheap set will come with a tiny one, often a size 000, these are great for edge highlights.

A painting handle can help, it gives you a more stable hold for the model. The biggest thing that will come with practice is not putting to much paint on the brush, it's better to only have a small amount of paint and have to top up after every line, than it is to have lots of paint and risk it running out of control.

Hello I thoroughly enjoyed this video. You mentioned that you didn't use a primer at all and I wondered how necessary a primer is as it did not appear to me to affect the paint job.
@DrunkOnTeaUK15 күн бұрын
A primer isn't a necessity at all. As I do here, you can use paint as an undercoat. The advantage of a primer is that it's a lot quicker, you can do lots of models in a very short amount of time. Also, with a primer, it does help with the paint sticking. Sometimes, without one, you may see the paint rub off in areas that get touched a lot.

@DrunkOnTeaUK17 күн бұрын
For this one I am using the starter brush that comes in the box. The brush is quite large, so to apply the highlights just put a little bit of paint on the brush, and only apply light pressure. In the Space Marine video I recommend picking up a cheap set of brushes, then you'll have some smaller tips for applying highlights.

The blood angles red paint is a contrast paint, so painting it over the wraitbone base coat should do the job of shading a highlights for you. For the wraithbone carapace, if you do the highlight lines with a pure white (like white scar) it will give you the same highlight effect

Hi is it me or did you paint without primer because all other tuttorials were like how to paint with the set then pullout expensive extras. Thanks its an eye opener,
@DrunkOnTeaUK24 күн бұрын
Yeah, this is painted without a primer. A primer is often better. It will make the basecoats go on quicker and stick a bit better. But, you can use a base paint as a kind of prime as I've done here. Just make sure to work in several thin layers and cover all of the model with one paint before starting to apply other colours. Just make sure each layer has fully dried, and it is absolutely fine to do. I think a lot of people like to make it seem like something that you need a load of expensive tools for. I started out (many many years ago) with just a starter paint set, a cheap set of brushes, an old plate for a pallette, and a mug for my water pot. Don't worry about spending a fortune at the start, the models cost enough as it is.....

One additional detail bit you could do would be to lighten the Abaddon Black with some Boneshade to make a dark to medium grey, then edge highlight the tops of the ridges of the accordion-pleat under-armor areas. Alternatively, for a lower skill level, paint those areas with the grey, then use the Abaddon Black wash to settle into the folds and tone down the grey a bit. Either way gives a bit of extra definition in those areas.

@DrunkOnTeaUK29 күн бұрын
The paint and tool set is pretty useful, you'll need clippers, and it's comes with the paints to highlight, instead of needing to mix colours. I would probably recommend picking up the paints and tools set, and then a box of Intercessors. Then you can really get stuck in with 10 models, and by the end of it you will probably have seen how much your painting has improved over just a few models. Or the Introductory Starter Set comes with the tools, and the paints I used in this video, alongside both some Space Marines and Tyranids, so if you want to play it's a great box to quickly get some small games on the go and then grow the selection of paints and models from there.

It's not so much what I'd be interested to see you paint as how, my thought is how does it come out if you go for a very contemporary painting technique with the older colors so something like prime a blood angel with a purple or magenta then give it a 45 degree zeinithal with a white followed by a straight down zenithal of a yellow then go over all that with the same red you used here, maybe mix your bright silvers into your black to edge highlight a lot of the black metal bits. I'm also curious how the transparency of the classic paints handles if thinned down for an airbrush. I like your use of just thinning layer paints down rather than relying on premade shades/washes but the fact that it is always black or black plus base color while retro/classic is obviously limiting. So go all out, but use the old mostly brighter paints as your pallet.

I think once the paints went through the name change to the current names the paints did change. The coverage became a lot better, needing fewer layers to achieve solid colour.

My number 1 tip to newcomers, just put paint on the model and thin your paints. The quicker you learn to thin your paints the faster you realize it doesn't matter if you "mess up". Thin paints wont obscure details, and you can paint over quite a few layers of thin paint before you start to lose details on your models.

@DrunkOnTeaUK3 ай бұрын
The clippers do come in the introductory starter set, and these Marines don't need glue as they are push fit. You can use a base paint as a "primer" as long as you cover the entire model it will give the other paints something to stick to. A specific primer is better, but for a beginner or single model, using paint will work, you just need to ensure you get full coverage or it will flake off.
