Really enjoyed this. Very well explained and not rushed. Excellent work 👍

[@Warhipster]

Thanks very much I’m glad you liked it!

[@Emloch]

The true sign of an accomplished painter is when your work makes it look like it's so easy to do. It is far from that. I see years of experience with every brush stroke. You have mad skills. Thanks for the great video.

[@rodin9836]

Glorious purple cape, probably will try it myself ! Thanks for all your videos

[@christopherrichen4444]

Man !! I si hours of tutorials from a very diverses sources. Yours are above ! Incredible work ! Many many thanks!

[@tokoloshgolem]

Ive got to say that you have an absolutely amazing camera setup. Best of the best at being able to see what you’re painting

[@Warhipster]

You’re very kind! It’s a series of cheap lights I’ve scrounged together, an articulated arm with a cradle for my iPhone and a lot of playing around with the light positioning to get it just right. Spoiling the magic of cinema 💪🏻💪🏻

[@Leedguitar2]

Wow, great video! Love the way you utilize Contrast Paints. GW should use your method in their marketing!

[@Warhipster]

Haha, I'm glad you like it! I've used Contrast in everything I've painted since launch and I absolutely love it.

[@georgek5665]

Another Fantastic Vid from the contrast master. Every time i watch you, I wind up getting more contrast paints. God damn it

[@Warhipster]

If it's helping you do your hobby, then it's all worth it, eh?

[@edgar882]

This is what WarhammerTV need to do. Not just go full contrast or full classic. Use each paint to its strenghts. No metallic contrasts so they go with yellow when we HAVE metallic paints it just angers me they don't do this kind of work. This guy and Mephiston have scared the hell out of me to paint and I got Mephiston done within a week (thats after work each day so only about an hour an evening) and I'm happy with playing him as he is. (I feel I should clarify I'll probably come back to him to make better but he's still great with the contrast method)

[@Warhipster]

Getting models on the table is what it's all about at the end of the day. Going back and adding extra detail to characters is a good way of making sure you don't go overboard on them in one session too.

[@calzoni_325]

Awesome! I've been struggling to find a good contrast DA tutorial for a while but this hits the spot nicely, love it

[@Warhipster]

You're very welcome, I'm glad you've found the video so useful.

[@TheeMrRasmus]

I'll keep this on the must watch archive, I just started my DA army, and this guy is gonna be my pièce de résistance

[@Warhipster]

Awesome! If you post them on Instagram at all be sure to tag me as I'd love to see them!

[@MihaliWheeler]

Great video. Been looking for a really detailed video on how to paint this guy

[@Warhipster]

Glad I could help! If you've found the video useful, I'd love it if you could tag me if you've shared your Master Lazarus on Twitter or Instagram, I'd love to see what you've done.

[@srsgoblin]

I highly recommend using Wraithbone between the two GW contrast primers. Green naturally highlights a bit into the warm tones. I find it's a pleasant finish to my Dark Angels models, anyway. A friend of mine says he does it over just regular ol Standard Grey, to get that really dark green look the first legion is known for. Haven't tried it myself to see how it finishes, however.

[@Warhipster]

That's a really good tip! I really like the colder crisp feeling of Grey Seer, so it's what I use in 99% of my painting now!

[@srsgoblin]

@@Warhipster I have many friends like that, too, so I get it. I actually use Wraithbone almost exclusively myself because I live in the desert and am simply used to really warm tones on everything as a result. But, it's more about light values on the warmth spectrum. I've been trying to up my painting skills, and something I've taken away from the tremendously talented KZbinr Sorastro is how to work yellow tones or blue tones into a model. What I always told people at my FLGS when they were wondering between the two, is just imagine Wraithbone is your model illuminated by the sun and Grey Seer is your model illuminated by the moon.

[@bhairava21]

Amazing. Love it

[@JonBringer]

The Dark Angels Green Contrast looks pretty nice doesnt it?! Handy tip i found with writing names or even the lettering on the scrolls is to use a fineliner then wait for it to dry and coat the scroll or piece with lahmium medium to cover the shine. another tip for the shield if you feel that painting straight lines would be awkward i use modelling mask tape to help draw a perfect line :) (I use Tamiya masking tape incase you were wondering). Great vid I do like to see contrast vids on how they are applied and the finished look!

[@Warhipster]

That's a great tip, I shall bear that in mind for future use!

[@florianbottcher9611]

Great tutorial. Love it! The primer is grey seer? looks like corax white?

[@romansalzger1080]

Just subscribed! Awesome handling of the contrast range. I might reconsider using them! Keep up the good Work! Maybe you could paint some Age of Sigmar stuff too?

[@Warhipster]

That's great to hear about you thinking about picking up some Contrast paints, I'm glad you've found the videos so useful. As for AoS stuff - I'm always open to suggestions and I do have a load of Sylvaneth I've been meaning to work on, as well as the rest of the warbands from Warcry!

[@fabiog.franchi4251]

Love your videos pal!! Hope you get more subs, you deserve it!!

[@Warhipster]

Thanks, Fabio!

This is great. Thank you!

[@Warhipster]

You're very welcome!

[@ulgorash9471]

I was just watching this and comparing to your Dark Angels Intercessor video from about a year later (both amazingly helpful, thank you!) and I have two questions: With captain hindsight applied, would you now go with a Wraithbone primer for Lazarus as well or is there not enough green armour visible to justify that? Again, with hindsight, would you still go and completely finish the armour with layering/highlighting as described here or would you also "integrate" it in a single highlighting process with the other parts as you did on the intercessors?

[@Warhipster]

Yeah I think I would do Wraithbone to make it nice and warm all over. And to make all the dark angels green models nice and consistent. And similarly I would probably wait until the end to do all The highlights together. I’ve found that’s a more pleasurable experiment for me also filming the videos it’s easier to follow doing it that way!

[@ulgorash9471]

@@Warhipster Okay, that's good advice, thank you. I have Lazarus sitting on my desk, waiting to be painted but I do not date touch him until I have become reasonably apt with Dark Angels Green. 🙂

[@Alexander_Min]

Loved it

[@Warhipster]

Thanks Alexander!

[@ChillingWargamers]

Great video dude. Thanks for the video.

[@Warhipster]

Glad you liked it, thanks for watching!

[@brynnjones3703]

Any other tips on how to get such a smooth and neat look on the armour ? Mine always comes out blotchy.

[@reflux1986]

I always use a 1:1 mix of contrast paint and contrast medium thinner, makes it easier to work with

[@Warhipster]

The Medium can help thing it and give you more time/control another is to find a colour you can turn into a glaze to smooth it out so in Dark Angels case I would recommend a 10:1 mix of Contrast Medium:Caliban Green.

[@tomaskaderabek7259]

Amazing vid.👍 Please vid deathwing and ravenwing painting with contrast color.🙏

[@Warhipster]

I shall certainly add them to the list of potential videos! Until I get to them, if you're painting bone armour I'd recommend checking out my Jain Zar video and for black power armour, look no further than the video I did on Horus the Warmaster!

[@KAoSxXGhOsTXx]

Hi! Really Nice! What was the paint used to spray the miniature? (It was all White in the beginning)

[@Warhipster]

Hi Kharthas! I used Citadel's Grey Seer spray primer for this, it's my primer of choice for 99% of my painting nowadays!

[@KAoSxXGhOsTXx]

@@Warhipster Thank you very much! I bought some corax White because I didnt know, Do you think it is going to work??

[@Warhipster]

@@KAoSxXGhOsTXx as long as you get a smooth coat, absolutely. You'll just find that it comes out brighter than what I've got here.

[@antknee6256]

Warhipste can you do a deathguard model next please

[@Warhipster]

It's coming soon! I need to find the Typhus model I've got in storage. It'll be easier once I finally move house and I have all my things.

[@darthbretticus6698]

Love this model my only complaint about it is there's no option to put his winged helmet on his head

[@Warhipster]

I know right? I couldn't agree more! Unless you put the helmet on his head and have him carry his own head... Now that would be a look...

[@darthbretticus6698]

@@Warhipster mite try to get the arm bit holding the helmet and covert it

[@markcoburn9908]

Sorry to comment on a four month old video mate, but can I ask what size brush you're using for the dark angels contrast paint?

[@Warhipster]

If I remember rightly it was a Medium Layer Brush. If it wasn’t a Medium then it was definitely a Small Layer Brush!

[@markcoburn9908]

@@WarhipsterCheers mate!

[@evilldead6824]

Curious what was the total paint time looks amazing.

[@Warhipster]

Oof well if I remember correctly it took about 6/7 hours total? It was quite a while ago now 😂

[@krisztianpaluch8834]

I try to paint my Lazarus on your way but is quite far from it of course. I cannot find what is the perfect amount of paint on the brush, and my pulls are never so smooth as yours. I always have patches on the surface

[@Warhipster]

So the way I gauge it is to look at the brush and see if the blob of paint looks like a droplet or if it looks like a stick that’s dipped in ink. Usually the paint should hang off the end of the bristles if that makes any sense?

[@krisztianpaluch8834]

Thank you for your answer! It makes sense for me. I hope that the paint will not dry on my brush when I'm checking that is it a good drop or not. I would love to upload the pictures of my minitures here or sending to you just to hear your opinion that what should I change or how can I do it better.

[@michaelanderson670]

Is it primed white? Or grey?

[@Warhipster]

It’s primed with Grey Seer Spray.

[@krisztianpaluch8834]

what is the color of the scrolls? apothecary white and ulthuab grey highlight?

[@Warhipster]

Certainly are!

[@Speario99]

Just watched this and the Drazhar video. Could you use the pre colour to do the edge highlighting, like you did with Drazhar, on this? If so, what green would you use as pre shade?

[@Warhipster]

Theoretically you absolutely could! I’d probably use either Warp Lightning Green or Ork Flesh depending on how stark I’d want the highlights to be.

[@poweraffirmations6683]

You make it look so easy! Can you in your future videos not skip past the whole painting of contrast. I'd love to see how you handle all the weird angles. I cant seem to replicate your success with contrast paints. Always looks bad and drys to fast.

[@Warhipster]

I shall see what I can do! In the meantime, if you've not seen the first Wartips video I did recently, you might like to check it out - I take a took at actually using the Contrast paints themselves there: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oKismXuHg6uFmZI

[@Bizle.....]

Add flow improver to slow dry time and get more control , by a set of army painter quick shade with the mixing medium it’s much better than anything produced by GW

[@usernameisaname]

I'm fairly jealous of those that can use aerosol primers. My climate generally does not allow for a smooth and consistent application. It just turns out fuzzy/textured.

[@Warhipster]

This literally just happened to me with Teclis. He’s currently bathing in Methylated Spirits and I’m in a huff about it! 😂

[@Bizle.....]

Nice looking model considering you’ve not used an airbrush , good vid but I feel you definitely missed some face details which was why I watched ha ha
