How to Paint DARK ANGELS Space Marines | My new Kill Team | Nostalgia time!!

[@RonaldFulcrum]

Those are gorgeous Dark Angels. You really caught the feel of the old green that is no so hard to recapture.

[@Wijkert]

+1 for the side cutters recommendation. Very nice to work with! They put less stress on especially fragile bits you are cutting out of the sprue.

[@j27b]

What was the brand I didn’t catch it in the video?

[@davidhills7986]

Those are red grass games single side blade cutters.

[@Wijkert]

@@j27b I really like the DSPIAE 3.0 ones. If you want a deep dive Barbatos Rex has a great video where he compares many different brands.

[@Wijkert]

Thank you guys for another great year of content!

[@Taal111]

A great capstone for a fantastic year of art, really looking forward to what you have in store for us in 2025!

[@mikewalf]

Amazing colour scheme and job Henry, I love darker greens on my DAs as well. It's the right balance of dark and light and it doesn't look neon like the standard caliban/warpstone/moot Green colour scheme of GWs.

[@joecove1072]

fantastic Henry! Will be definitely following this scheme!

[@peanusbenis5631]

Your voice is as slick and smooth as the oil paints you love 🤌🏻

[@andreag.4609]

Instead of cutter, i warmly suggest Tamiya "mini brass saw set", they're an essential upgrade for precision cut.

[@TomCatchesides]

Magnificent work, I’m constantly amazed at the incredible results you get from a relatively quick process 👏 I’m glad you’re enjoying Kill Team too, the new edition feels a lot tighter and more streamlined than the previous edition.

[@add3to6]

Like you, this colour scheme is very close to my heart - my first White Dwarf was 193, when 'Angels of Death' was first released. Bias aside, I think this is one of your best paintjobs; the green looks so rich. I found it a little puzzling that you painted the red markings after the wash, but the end result looks fine. Perhaps this technique could be applied to Ravenwing too - if you found the right contrast mix for a dark blue/grey the black oil could give a really nice gradient. Inspiring stuff.

[@iain.sm.c]

The kitbashing was really fun to watch, I like your approach to it. Great video Henry, I hope you have a good new year.

[@cultofpaint]

@@iain.sm.c thanks Iain, same to you.

[@roofust]

I really enjoyed the addition of the purple. I hadn't thought to use the purple with silver. They look awesome Henry!

[@br_a1n161]

Love these, especially the captain

[@Wijkert]

You did 12 year old Henry proud!

[@Marshal976]

As a massive fan of the Angels of Death book since it first came out, I think these look great Henry! Well done 😀

[@MrCiceroneize]

I was waiting this for years......Amazing. You guys are the best

[@diyfireking]

Outstanding work 😊😊

[@hairoku]

I'm sure others have mentioned it before but Makeup Sponges are amazing for cleaning up the oil recess shading, it's really a whole world better than cotton

[@mirage809]

The first legion! The best legion! The green knights that don't share. They look awesome. Some great and simple conversions here to make them unique and give em that extra Dark Angel flair. Went with Guardians of the Covenant for mine as I already have a Dark Angels army and wanted to do something different without getting away from the knight aesthetic.

[@ACOGLMT556]

This looks amazing, what colour did you use for the gold/bronze? I was thinking about painting some raptor marines and pictured that exact bronze in my mind but couldn't find it till now. Would love to see your take on some raptor marines. Think they are suppose to be a distant sub chapter of the dark angels.

[@Wijkert]

33:45 fun fact, the pigment in Kimera's Warm Yellow is the same as Imperial Fist Contrast.

[@chyeeeeee]

Absolute banger way to end. I'm a bit off 40k at the moment (aos is like crack) but these remind me why 40k is awesome. Happy new years chaps❤

[@ShintaroMugura]

Thank you for this wonderful painting tutorial. I was shocked to see thrid company Dark Angels, because that is what is on my painting desk now. I am happy to see you paint them in your own version of them. I am doing the same. Love how you did the power sword. I am going to try painting the power swords that way. Thank you again.

[@carlostapia4523]

Beautiful color. very evocative of the 2nd/3rd edition codex.🤘

[@fonsorell0]

This is EXACTLY what I was looking for. I don' really like the eavy metal comic style with extreme edge highlights and I dont fully enjoy the extrem grim dark style. This is how I want my Angels to look like. Also I enjoy the very present black of the armor, letting some of the old pre-fallen scheme shine through.

[@goldenageacademy8584]

DA are my boys, love them; love a good DA colour scheme.

[@sidneysloan4176]

wonderfull colour scheme with the more darker DARK Angel. Absolutely stunning. I just would have loved to know what kind of gold you've used. because you only said that you did a purple over the gold. Maybe I've missed the name of the gold ... would love to know that, thanks again

[@564woody]

Perfect timing as I am starting my first army in the new year having just received a bunch of DA stuff for Christmas. These guys look awesome, I just need to figure out how I get something similar without an airbrush.

[@soverain]

Perfect timing!

[@craigcook5121]

Wicked looking like always.

[@NummiAFI]

Space Marines aren't my thing at all, but I love watching your painting tutorials for inspiration and ideas, no matter what models you happen to be working on. Keep doing what you enjoy! (I know no-one asked, but: Lizardmen. Lizardmen are my thing. Andy's tutorial on that warband from a few years ago helped me a ton when I started re-painting my childhood army after returning to the hobby.)

[@cultofpaint]

@@NummiAFI let sod some.more lizards next year. I really enjoyed them

[@donkratos5627]

FOR THE LION‼️ ✊🧐

[@WhiskeyDingo-2018]

These look amazing. With the gold what was the base colour, it looked fantastic with the purple shading. I’d really like to try and replicate it.

[@Midean9]

I have found using the Tamiya XF-2 thinner with Scale75 paints works much better than using a standard airbrush thinner. I imagine it's something to do with Scale's gel medium, but it comes out beautifully. The Tamiya thinner will turn just about every other acrylic paint I've tried to use with it into goop, though.

[@davidhills7986]

It works well with polyurethane based primers as well like vallejos. Most thinners contain water which reacts with polyurethane.

[@cultofpaint]

@@Midean9 I found that too, some S75 it was fine with, others it turned to porridge. In the end the flow aid + thinner was the best all rounder for me. But airbrushing S75 is always a last resort for me!!!

[@samuelarno]

These look amazing... almost tempts me to abandon my plans for Space Wolves on my KT squad. High fives!

[@TheMichaellathrop]

I really liked the white chest decal you had on one of the operatives, I think doing that but specifically with the imperial guard aquilla could work very well for one of the more "tacticool" groups of space marines.

[@jamesgreen9480]

Merry Christmas

[@Goseph_Joebbels]

These make me want to paint mine as dark angels as well. Just a tip i run the tamiya xf2 at 18psi to avoid the spiderwebbing

[@pv_hobbying]

Hi Henry, enjoyable as always! I’d personally like you to go back to your Badab project, maybe a mixed killteam of different chapter?

[@Wijkert]

The pondering stage is where I spent the majority of the time... Partially because I tend to overthink things and partially because I like that fase too.

[@haltes]

Cult of Paint video day is always a good day ❤

[@Subject35th]

oh yes, dark DARK angels

[@zep5229]

Now thats a scheme!

[@peterbereczki4147]

This remind me of my Fallen SM team project for Kill Team I'm stil finishing up😅

[@Biscbob]

Amazing video as ever, really enjoy your work!! Do you mean white spirits when you say mineral spirits?

[@cultofpaint]

@@Biscbob yes. Thanks!

[@rutgaurxi7314]

Akira Style, "Clown Gang," if the rebel guard Kill Team happens to come across your desk, or a new version of it...

[@power_SERG]

Could you do content that uses Gunpla bits and Warhammer stuff mixed together to make some cool Kitbashes?

[@jenskiesewetter8474]

Great models. How high is the pressure for the airbrush for these fine works?

[@cultofpaint]

I have my compressor set to 25psi. Our infinity has great trigger pressure sensitivity, so I'm usually spraying around 20

[@mart1n287]

Why do so many mini painters use tamiya flat white for zenithal?

[@AndrewSullivan-d3x]

which edition was the best? 4th edition? thanks.

[@Zwenguard]

I would like to know why are you leaving the minis over night after the oil wash? Isnt it possible to remove the excess like 1h after applying? Great vid btw! :)

[@cultofpaint]

@@Zwenguard absolutely possible, and for some schemes I would do that. I left these overnight because it was a natural last job to do in the session. And leaving them longer wasn't a negative.

[@Zwenguard]

@@cultofpaint Wow thanks for the quick reply! Im not even finished with the full vid and yet my question already got answered, you are amazing!

[@wholesome2399]

They look AMAZING! Reminds me of when I started with Warhammer, the good old Dark Vengeance. These tiny guys looked amazing in my head (even if not in reality haha) Do you recommend any side cutters in particular?

[@cultofpaint]

@@wholesome2399 loves that Dark Vengeance box. I like these Red grass ones, but I've not used any others.

[@rutgaurxi7314]

For me, it's both the Tamiya side cutters and God Hand Cutters, both have different purposes, and are fine at cutting.

[@andersolsson1659]

When thinning Citadel paint, what thinner do you use?

[@cultofpaint]

@@andersolsson1659 for the airbrush I use either life colour thinner or Vallejo thinner. On the wet pallete I just use water.

[@andersolsson1659]

@cultofpaint Thank you 👍

[@uruk_bye1232]

If you ain't (the) First, you're last.

[@OrdoPictorum]

Blood ravens tutorial in 2025 pls :)

[@cultofpaint]

@@OrdoPictorum I'd like that

[@xeniwargaming]

Does anyone recognize where this captains halo is from?

[@cultofpaint]

I couldn't work out the sprue. It also had a plasma pistol and a left arm holding a bolt rifle. Very small separate character sprue. So it must be one of the captains?

[@xeniwargaming]

@ it was the Lt Sprue :)

[@GrimdarkKing]

I didn’t choose the grimdark life. It chose me... along with a crushing pile of unpainted miniatures and the crushing weight of unfulfilled promises.

[@TheOneWhoSometimesSaysOk]

The fuck do you mean a thousand views? This shit's great!

[@HazzR8]

Unsubscribing due to every video using an airbrush. I would personally want to see more videos using a brush or other easily available manual tool.
