Would love an Iron Warriors guide from you 🙏

[@lieutenantartus]

Second this!

[@demonrich]

I'll see what I can do! They should be the easiest Legion to do a video for!

[@loishy335]

I loved your guides for the different grimy Legions, I can't wait to see what you come up with for the Iron Warriors. So far the different guides that I have found have not offered me a final result that corresponded to what I was looking for. @@demonrich

[@FarbrorKudde]

Thanks! There is a severe lack of grimdark Iron Warriors guides :D@@demonrich

[@dominusbalial835]

Yeah I'd love to see a iron warriors painting video too I think they're gonna be my chaos space marines that I pick up to model with.@@demonrich

[@jupiterlicht789]

Thise is my Color Scheme for my future Death Guard (40k) 👀 Thank you for your Work/Video.

[@JOHNNY20864]

Thank you very much for your work! I was really struggling trying to find a color scheme for my Imperial Fists, but thanks to your video on painting Imperial Fists without an airbrush, I was finally able to get the ball rolling. I hope you will continue to delight us with your guides!

[@MatchaMakesThings]

Absolutely insane amount of information in this video! Thank you for making and posting it.

[@echlinryan]

Absolutely phenomenal!

[@hairysticks74]

I love watching these. I only have one issue with all of your videos. You have such a soft spoken voice, if I watch them on an evening I end up nodding off. It's like Warhammer ASMR 😂 Great vid as always mate. Thank you ❤

[@paulmumford3397]

soporific

[@redbeardie]

Fantastic as always ❤

[@Zuckergast]

Always love to watch how it all comes together from the messy early stage to the final goodness. And DG is a personal favourite! Thx for the tutorial! 🤗

[@tombrand236]

Amazing finish!

[@flips300021]

There's nothing I like better than a good bit of Grimdark. Lovely stuff. Thanks for sharing again, Richard. 👍😊

[@sylntghost007]

This looks awesome.

[@Wijkert]

Great video Rich! Will try your stippling method in the near future. Fits the Death Guard very well.

[@gerthinatorgaming5952]

Awesome dude. you've given me so many ideas.

[@RhonanDirz]

Another great job.

[@richardbradley2335]

Best DG yet !!!

[@chrislevitt4929]

This looks amazing and no airbrush. I’ve ordered the new box and haven’t decided on legion. It might have to be Death guard now and follow this recipe

[@crusade_tabletop]

i think the initial drybush would look good for like a camouflage color for raptors or something

[@titansadvocate2267]

Thanks for the video! Ive taken inspiration from your Imperial Fists stippled video to paint up a Lamenter for a friend of mine! Id love to see how you tackle a 30k Dark Angel with this stippling method

[@rowanirish]

I recently bought Death Guard boarding patrol and will follow this fantastic recipe, except for the green. Citadel colours will be my go to.

[@antoinecalloud6547]

Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledges and skills!! I would personally love to see your take on Word Bearers with this method! Im sure it might be a challenge on itself!

[@kaibe5241]

You could look at how he does a similar approach for blood angels - and just alter the base red color.

[@loishy335]

Great Video ! I hope we will see the same guide for Iron Warriors in this new MK3 plastic armor.

[@DrDleith]

On the gloss finish on GW shades - they recently reformulated all the shade paints, at the same time as they brought out the latest range of Contrast paints, and deliberately gave them a glossier finish than they had before (the 'Gloss' versions were discontinued). So there's nothing wrong with your new Agrax Earthshade if you're finding it glossier than before - it's meant to be like that. If you want to make it more matt, I just paint over a bit of Lahmian Medium to knock it back.

[@brockvenator2299]

I really like the idea of contrast washes for tying miniatures together, they look very rich and saves the faff of having to get the oils out.I'm assuming this would work well also with other dark brown contrast paints?

[@MLaak86]

Definitely gonna take the helmet plume scheme from this :)

[@Succurso]

Another great video Rich. Love your work. Hope to see more.

[@nikolayrozanov4202]

Hello Rich, thank you for another incredible tutorial! Two questions: if the head was the same color as the rest of the mini, would you still paint it separately,? Also, would you consider stipple glazing up to pure white in post-wash steps to make the armor read more white and less bone, or would this not work given how dark the post-wash model is?

[@BrooksSligh]

That's a very interesting technique! I wonder if I could steal/adapt it for my Alpha Legion...

[@imightjustmakeit]

Would love to see your take on the thousand sons in 30k

[@omegonitsalpharius]

Would love non metalic alpha legion and thousand sons! Or a guide to raven guard and dark angels (30k).

[@collinl5023]

Great work as usual, I'm very curious as to how you could achieve this affect and still have it read as black armor for Dark Angels. I love painting in this style but haven't been able to figure that out.

[@JoshuaAnderson-lt4fu]

He did a Black Templars video in the same style some time ago, and the black armor on that video turned out really well.

[@__-uz1ec]

As DG fan, I don't understand, why didn't I discover this video earlier!

[@UnfocusedHobbie]

This is an amazing paint job. How long did it take to complete the mini. I'd love to do a full legion in this scheme

[@Treeslayer82]

Absolutely cracking tutorial, amazing details 👌

[@TheHajooo]

Love it can u paint in Same colors on the new deathguard?

[@codemaster6521]

Can we get a weathered crimson fist video

[@Wijkert]

Hi Rich, curious about your ideas on which paints work best for the stippling method you started this tutorial off with. I assume it's helpful if they are more opaque. Single pigment paints from Kimera would work less well, with the exception of the opaque ones like Yellow and Red Oxide.

[@armymanDR]

Did you paint the bases at all or just lay down some colored texture paste and smother it in pigment? I really like the look of it!

[@jw7500]

Any chance of some pointers/maybe a guide for metallic Alpha Legionairs?

[@biome3]

I'd love to see if this textured look works well for darker color schemes as well

[@demonrich]

I think it might work even better! I need to dry Dark Angels and Iron Warriors.

[@TheAtomicSpoon]

@@demonrich Would love to see it for Iron Warriors.

[@Ulyoth]

In your experience now is 50:50 contrast to contrast medium generally the safest and most effective method? As opposed to your earlier videos in this style.

[@Lordgenome108]

Is it possible to have blue armoured videos like "Crimson Fist" next time??

[@StephenLeaSheppard]

Regarding glossy Agrax Earthshade: Games Workshop recently changed the formulas on all their washes to bring them closer to the contrast formulas -- whether this is because of the genuine belief that the new formula works better, something they did to simplify their supply chain because now they can use contrast components in their washes, or some combination of the two, is up for debate -- and the new washes are a) much glossier and b) much more gap-seeky and less useful for things like glazing. The old formula you're recommending here is no longer available. I believe the closest replacement for the old Agrax Earthshade would be either Army Painter Strong Tone or Duncan Rhodes's new Two Thin Coats brown wash I forget the name of.

[@Crabbisaurus]

I would also add that the TT combat washes are also a pretty close replacement to the old GW washes!

[@rapha6245]

Amazing ! I would love to see you painting some clear colors scheme like World Eaters

[@Lala-uc8lr]

Realised that your recipe for this and the other death guard plague marine is the same first two Color’s hence why when I tried it, it didn’t come out green!!! What was the Color’s on your other plague marine that was more green?

[@michaelclarke3206]

Feels like it's been ages since a heresy video from you - loved it! Any chance you could get around to some Emperor's Children?

[@DukensteinA1]

…… I’m going to try this as DG are my chosen 30k army. But gee whiz, this look amazing. I’m fascinated how up until the dark path, you can still see the individual stipple marks. But after that and with some very gentle glazes, they disappear and you’re just left with amazing texture. Truly wonderful.

[@Wijkert]

12:50 would definitely love to see you do a over the top weathered marine.

[@fransaacs]

White Dwarf issue 110; Wayne England illustrated the front cover and also featured in the (IIRC) Illuminated showcase article. His cover art shows space marines (of an undetermined chapter) in mottled camouflage armour reminiscent of your brush process above. Are they Death Guard? Raptors? Or more of the earthy yellow-green Blood Angels seen battling with Orks on Armageddon in the interior artwork? Great work as always, many thanks for sharing this with us.

[@ellisowendaniel]

I’m interested in understanding how the contrast paint stage would work on vehicles and dreadnoughts that have large flat panels. I’ve found the contrast paints or shades pool and streak on flat panels that vehicles have. I’m working on a dry brushed Raven guard scheme based on the old forgeworld method for painting blackshields. For the recess shading and to tie the drybrushing together they washed the model in nuln oil. I’m hesitant to do this due to pooling so I’m left thinking I should do an all over oil wash.

[@cnihon5894]

Hi, really love the videos and I’ve learned a ton. One recommendation. I’d edit out the loud lip-smacking sounds that pop fairly regularly. Have to admit, they quickly get fatiguing and may turn viewers off, especially through a long tutorial. It’s easy to just cut them off the beginning of dialogue in your favorite editing suite. A little audio editing & mastering with really increase the quality of the narration and will increase retention. Not a criticism, as everyone gets dry mouth from talking so long, but they can gross some people out.

[@hobbybobley]

Hello Richard! Just a question... how thin is the paint when doing the initial coats of Balor Brown/ Morghast Bone etc? - Thanks!
