Black armour on Space Marines - without it looking like crap

[@barbareusz6595]

7:20 step one: draw two circles, step two: draw two lines connecting the circles, step three: and now draw the rest of the horse

[@ViigKilroy]

This is a great tutorial! As someone painting deathwatch, I was hoping something like this would come out. My only advice would be, please don't be afraid to teach me like I'm 5 years old or painted very little. I appreciate any granularity and specifics you can provide. Like more specific information about paint ratios, logic behind where highlights are placed, etc. Thanks for the great information, as always.

Man I got a DW set and then learned they are not usable in 10e lol

Those effects at the beginning - woah 10/10!

What i was waiting for! Thank you!

[@SatoruGojo69-420]

This video came out at the perfect time! Im planning on painting some Black templars.

[@thomasgueguen1121]

Lukas, I really want a tutorial about your amazing rocky base !!

[@KillyBones]

Might be wrong , but he has done a tutorial on a rock base in the imperial knight video

[@qutini]

looks like cork, black primer, a blueish green followed by a bright yellowish green drybrush. Then glue about 8+ grastufts to it 😅 followed by that leaf thing(which I don't know where it is from, but I recognize it, so there might be a video of it on the main channel, if not on this channel)

[@SgtReaper1987]

Looks great, good tutorial

[@szymonm.5045]

7:45 - how bolter gun looks with this red is just frikin amazing!

[@Isteak80]

Very helpful/useful; thanks!

[@GatorGlider]

Would you show the pallet in future videos so that we can see the color mix? This video was especially difficult for the first few steps because of the black and gray not being so contrasting.

[@Easy_Mode_Minis]

Thanks for the sick tutorial, looking forward to seeing how you did the Hazard stripes too :)

[@SamsButterscotch]

@1:24 damn, these Mamikon disses keep coming

[@MyOwnLanguage]

I like the music ,and I like yawls style. I have studied yawls approach and I appreciate everything yawls do.

[@addlurch]

Insane brush control...

[@EwokOverlord]

awesome.

[@paleman6237]

I love your painting style, it seems very much in the same art direction of Arcane

[@wildxero]

Looks awesome! I definitely don't think I'm skilled enough to pull this off but, what the heck, I'ma try it anyway.

[@Ewokrs72]

When you use Vallejo black primer in an airbrush do you thin it out? I get clogs after a few mins of spraying.

[@squidlybits1985]

We usually don't. We prefer rattle cans for priming

[@dmajor9982]

Please god do white armour. I’m just starting heresy white scars😂

[@MrChipsndips]

Finally!

[@revan3776]

I just got into the hobby and my army of choice is ravenguard. I don't have an airbrush yet. For the final step of diluting the highlights, would a really watered down black work for brush application? Or even nuln oil?

[@rockycaroozo]

You’re going to want to work some medium into the black since you’re not going to be able to thin black down enough without it getting way too unwieldy with water alone.

[@nathancooley8459]

When I started watching Squidly Bits I couldn’t stand that background music choice, lol. It has grown on me (like a fungus) and now I find myself always bopping along 😅

[@L0ook4me]

Still waiting for that to happen. I keep muting the volume 😑

[@ImJotunn96]

What kind of sponge works best for the sponge-ing step?

[@Frosty-ht4ov]

Absolutely love it! What colour could one use instead of Ice Yellow for a cold feel instead?

[@HamDerSvinet]

Montana Black as primer? Does it work🤔

[@craigknights873]

Love this content, the only criticism is that the music could do with being a little less distracting, and perhaps not use half a dozen different tracks over the eight minutes.

[@L0ook4me]

That song that starts around 1:35 has become somewhat of a trademark and it is horrible. It sounds like 8 different songs chopped and scratched and then layerd on top if each other 😢

[@jamescrawford8538]

Okay black armor a good idea to know

[@jonashenriksson2182]

For the final glazing step, do you have any opinions on the glossiness when using ink? Will it add some nice variation, or would you give it a final pass with matte varnish to tie it all together?

[@squidlybits1985]

Both can look good, but generally prefer uniform finish

[@klug5916]

Could you please be so kind to explain to me the interest of adding ice yellow, instead of a more classic white one? Is it because the yellowish part would add a bit of color and warm tone, or something else? Thank you dearly per advance!

[@YouTubeuser6294]

All my support to Vallejo's workers. Hope the business gives them a fair salary and safe working conditions.

[@squidlybits1985]

Fingers crossed 🤞

[@scottyboy6269]

Is that why their paint is so bad?

[@armholeeio]

It’s like you have been watching my KZbin search’s

[@garypostell5268]

Wait a freaking minute, two colors just changed at end wtf is going on here !

[@CFT3D]

Bro please tell me you have a guide for the whole mini. Or at least a list of paints

[@squidlybits1985]

Check the blood angels video for the other parts

[@carlstanford7607]

Wow

[@JimCrimmins]

This feels like you jumped from step 3 to step 37 and said 'done'.. Guess I missed it

[@carpfisher3157]

Thanks for sharing, will help for sure with my black templars, a question around the base coating, in the video you show a sequence of a spray can and the airbrush, am I correct that the spray can is black primer an then the airbrush is the black base coat? What benefit has this since the primer is already black or can you just start the highlighting on the black primer?

[@squidlybits1985]

It just has a different matte finish, Lukas prefers the regular coat over primer

[@carpfisher3157]

⁠makes sense, thank you for clarifying 😊

[@leonatus221]

This is not black right but grey! ;)

[@McVilla1N]

Shhhh you're telling secrets. Yellow is just cooler... Cough cough grim dark.😂

[@91neOne]

Its ok

[@neruba2173]

Somehow, mine didnt turn out like a 3d rendered model level of quality.

[@squidlybits1985]

Compare, analyze, adjust and repeat :)

[@Misosgameroom]

Always love the videos! Didn't love the music on this one. It was really distracting.

[@scottyboy6269]

So much feces saved!

[@marcbowling6451]

Please never use that background music again. Thanks for the tutorial!

[@petejobson5036]

at first I agreed with you, then it grew on me and I kinda enjoyed it in the end

[@FNHot]

Was just about to say the same thing, good lord that music is annoying.

[@L0ook4me]

Its unbearable!

[@L0ook4me]

And it has festered and spread into the main channel as well 💀

[@MyOwnLanguage]

Wouldn’t it suck if everyone thought the same as you, and liked the same things as you? It’s called “culture”, no one should have to adapt for you. It’s a big world! Try and enjoy it more.

[@danielponton7825]

Why does Lukas have so much better music than Emil in his videos tho?…

[@L0ook4me]

You are insane for liking that music 😂

[@MSAINT-bn4vj]

most unbearble music ever !!!!!

[@L0ook4me]

Amen! I ve looked through every single comment thinking its impossible that Im the only one who finds it appalling

[@hootie_o]

i actually love it 😂
