Painting him 100% built! You’re a madman hipster! Great job.

[@Warhipster]

Haha, thank you very much!

[@Getegged42]

Beautiful absolutely stunning

[@Warhipster]

Thank you so much!

[@simon6272]

The Primaris lieutenant on the base is better than any model I ever painted. Talent incarnate 🥰

[@Warhipster]

Wow, thank you!

[@frostphoenyx]

Absolutely STUNNING !

[@Warhipster]

Thank you so much!!

[@VoxFelis]

Love it! Now that the end spinny revealy thingy is brighter. How about a compilation of all your previous models?

[@Warhipster]

Haha once I get around to it I certainly will do! I was thinking about a year in review video closer to Christmas!

[@Socratic85]

your videos are amazing! really want to see you paint a vehicle with contrast. like a sister exorcist or something. keep up the great work

[@Warhipster]

Thanks for the idea, I'll add it to the list!

[@sylntghost007]

That looks so good. Thanks so much for your content.you are an amazing painter.

[@Warhipster]

Thank you so much 😀 and thank you for watching!

[@Kresnov]

Superb paint job as usual, unhappy about the Ultramarine Lieutenant getting stomped on, the guys already dead no need to rub salt in the wound 😂

[@just_derek007]

Really great tutorial!! Thank you for sharing! Looking forward to Abaddon now LOL!

[@Warhipster]

He was an absolute joy to do. Perhaps my best of the year so far!

[@just_derek007]

Warhipster He’s really well done! You did such a good job!

[@MiNDmaZing]

Thats sweeet. Thanks man

[@Warhipster]

Thank you, I'm glad you like it!

[@warhammerdad5961]

Its the mojo making man!

[@Warhipster]

Haha, thank you!

[@CMTechnica]

With black legion contrast being out now, would you have used that instead for the tutorial?

[@Azrieth]

Love your videos, find them really helpful. Wondering if you would have any such advice on using contrast for obliterator skin

[@Warhipster]

I do as it happens! In fact I have an Illuminor Szeras Tutorial coming very soon, using the method for the Bio Matter trail would be perfect for Obliterator skin!

[@MF-kv8cn]

im still amazed at how nice your contrast work turns out. Everybody else's contrast work on here is a scary mess. Can a different brand of white or light grey paint be used for Citadel's contrast paints such as Mr. Hobby White Surfacer 1000 Aqueous spray can primer. It's really expensive compared to Citadel primer. A 71ml can cost me $16 or 17 Canadian dollars whereas a 400ml can of Citadel primer costs around $21-23, the mettalics are $33.

[@Warhipster]

It certainly can. White will give you a brighter finish for sure but they can definitely used. You just want to make sure it's a nice smooth coat before you apply the Contrast.

[@MF-kv8cn]

@@Warhipster ok cool. Just wanted to make sure it doesn't have to be specifically Citadel primer.

[@coolguy10060]

At 20:28 is that the herresy alarm going off?😂😂

[@Warhipster]

Haha, it may well be!

[@Kvicken223]

Amazing work! I'm going to start a Black Legion army but I have the wraithbone primer. Do you think that will work? Or do i really need to use the one mentioned in the video?

[@froghugger41]

Sorry it's a bit late but It won't change the colours themselves so much as their warmth. You'll have more vibrant colours over wraithbone than grey seer

[@Swannymeister]

Amazing video! Is the armour here similar to what you would do for the rest of the black legion or would you do them differently?

[@Warhipster]

I’ve come up with a lot of methods for doing black now with Contrast paints so I honestly don’t know. I suspect this is the one I would go for for Black Legion as they have that really clean smooth black vibe as opposed to the more flat black or industrial style black

[@wm302]

Dude, thanks. If I can make a couple suggestions though? 1. Try and find a more stable camera mount (quite shaky at points). 2. Use manual focus rather than auto. Focussed on your hand a fair bit rather than Abby. Earned my sub though!

[@Warhipster]

Thanks for your feedback and your Sub! I film the tutorials on my phone using an articulated arm holder thingy, it’s a wobbly desk though and I don’t have the money to replace it yet! I’m looking at buying a couple of GoPro 4s and setting up a booth and everything but I’m a little ways off that yet 😁

[@wm302]

@@Warhipster Good luck on your way there then dude. I'm sure you will do well. You have some of the best contrast tutorials I've seen so far and I'm sure your channel will ramp up if you keep pumping out the content.

[@warhammerdad5961]

When will you be delivering the fine fiddly blooming szeras to our gracious eyes?

[@Warhipster]

Andrew Easter very soon, my Runelord Brass and Sycorax Bronze finally turned up so I’m painting and recording him right now!

[@deanmatecki6245]

My Black Templar looks at the end very shine and Not matt - Please help

[@InquisitorRomanov]

You are an amazing painter, and I've learned loads from you as far as using contrast paints is concerned. But how you can put so much effort into painting models when you don't even pretend to putty the gaps is beyond me. It is called gteen stuff...and it is all that keeps your models from being as good as they could be. Such a shame, but it seems to be the standard now, ever since 5th edition or so. Thanks for all the great videos though. You rock. But I still want to buy you some green stuff. Lol. Imagine that Abaddon without those nasty gaps...he'd make the galaxy burn.

[@Warhipster]

Haha I know I really need to get a hold of some green stuff. I’m so short on time sometimes that it’s a case of build it prime it paint it edit it all in a day. Abaddon was basically done that way as I had like 3/4 weeks left before moving and I knew I needed to get the Pariah characters done before I moved out! I’ll get some next time I’m out!

[@InquisitorRomanov]

@@Warhipster dude, you are awesome!
