'Eavier Than Metal: How to paint a Black Templar Primaris Captain

[@sylthaya7571]

Even though I’m a year late, if I pay for patreon can I still get the complete guide?

[@trovarion]

yes, all content on patreon is always watchable with an active pledge, back to the first upload!

[@sylthaya7571]

Trovarion awesome, do you also have guides on wet blending and stuff? On the patreon?

[@trovarion]

@@sylthaya7571 I don't have an explicit tutorial on wetblending right now (have one planned for next month), but i use it on my tutorials from time to time. I do have stuff however, yes. Lots of stuff ;)

[@MrSmokincodz]

Trovarion hey was just looking to pledge. Would I have access to the full vids and PDFs? What pledge would it take to obtain this. Thanks.

[@trovarion]

@@MrSmokincodz yes, you do have access to all back issue videos and PDFs back to the very first post :) The 10$ pledge gives you both the videos and the PDFs!

[@josemariacampos2572]

I´m never feel tired to watch this again....this piece encourage me to paint my black temlpar army. Thank you.

[@Ahivalaostia88]

The freehand in the cloak is insane.

[@lokenontherange]

I always forget there are people into 40K who are actually skilled artists and aren't either like just Duncaning everything or ruining models.

[@lexluthor9279]

When you made chapter symbol with freehand, that was amazing performance of skill. Good work man.

[@PumpkinHoard]

That was bloody astonishing. That's the level of skill everyone wishes they could paint at, but so few put in the effort to achieve that level of skill.

[@sexybrugutu]

@@PumpkinHoard he has made full size lions before

[@timberknuckle8281]

Thank you so much Trov. Best advice was " dont get discouraged ". Super helpful video. Cant wait to show you progress.

[@beastthetics9491]

Oh yeah, I’m not only going to highlight and enhance lighting, but I’m also going to free hand a fucking skull that looks as if it’s a template!!! You’re amazing man. Truly amazing

[@Didermann]

Finally, an artist instead of a hobbyist demonstrating advanced blending techniques for miniatures!

[@jamst123]

By far the best minature painter Ive seen.

[@trovarion]

much obliged!

[@ralex3697]

Absolutely agree, a true master

[@Warhorse469]

Hand painting those shoulders was amazing I have never seen anyone do it such detail.

[@matthuckabey007]

You are the best, I want to have children now just so I can name my kids after you. This is by far the most generous contribution to my technique and by sharing with us you have earned my respect and my patreon. Absolutely phenomenal technique, you are my hero...."Contrast is our friend..". You are amazing, thank you.!

[@trovarion]

thank you! I shall be awaiting your arrival on the patreon discord ^_^

[@n8schatten01]

Outstanding piece of art. The freehands are so crisp and clear... you made it eavier than metal. Thanks for sharing

[@trovarion]

thanks for that :)

[@tonytompson4297]

That freehand, and the whole miniature are just perfect! Dont know the words to tell how i m impressed)

[@athollmcnicoll256]

The difference between a painter and an artist is proven in this video and shows as a painter I have still loads to learn and trial! Thanks for an interesting time.

[@Petter1900]

This paint job was insane before you started freehanding the cape and shoulders. Simply blown away.

[@jostonpowell1346]

I tried this method out then used Pro Acryl translucent black over the top and it works like magic. Just gotta apply thin layers when you do it but its defiantly one of my best paint jobs I have ever did. I used an airbrush with ratios of 2 part thinner to one part translucent black if anyone is wondering.

[@jaywright9820]

THIS is how I'm gonna do my Templars. Incredible job. I'll be watching and re watching this video for sure!

[@glenmenas9424]

You know.....I wasn't a big fan of the way you paint black armor, but your free hand is amazing!!!! 🤯

[@WhatMACHI]

An amazing tutorial! The shoulder pad freehand is crazy 😦

[@SparklyRug]

Really appreciate all your work. Thanks for sharing!

[@trovarion]

Thanks!

[@AoSCoach]

I'm 4 years almost to the day late but this video is great. The free hand cloak design is really inspirational

[@Forakus]

Absolutely incredible, I can't even believe the result you got!

[@TheLegendMythMan]

This is a great series. Love the black on this one.

[@jurriaandejongh8677]

Just started and was looking at all the black templar tutorials. This one stands out from the rest by a very, very long shot. Then again it is far less accessible for someone that's starting out, but definitely an amazing goal to strife towards. Thank you for sharing this!

[@trovarion]

Well, there is already so many "basic" painting videos, did the world really need another one? why not create something, so people that want to push themselves can learn? Thanks for your comment! keep having fun painting!

[@jurriaandejongh8677]

@@trovarion I could not agree more. :) You're very welcome.

[@MrKingcann]

"simple freehand on the pad" madness, I had to subscribe right there.

[@oshaemurray]

Needed this to help with ideas on my black n gold Tau army

[@trovarion]

nice!

[@robashton82]

That... is obscenely good!

[@trovarion]

thanks!

[@DanielLopez-cd7zt]

I am glad I found your tutorial. I have always been scared to paint my figures, because I am a perfectionist. I have always marveled at the world you artist create and always wanted my own army to look just as good. Watching your video, I see that I have l much to learn, but with intense watching of your videos, I feel i could understand more of what is needed for me to get the effects and awesome look that I want. The issue is doing the work and understanding the dark and shadow s of the colors I am using. I understand practice makes perfect, and by getting experience, my figures will get better in time. I will buy some easy figures to paint and graduate to harder ones. I would like to see more of your tutorials, because I feel it is the best way to understand what I need to do in this hobby. I want to thank you for offering you skills and ideas for the love of this Hobby...

[@trovarion]

thanks a lot for your kind words! I am glad you are feeling more confident to paint and I am happy if I was playing a tiny role in getting you there!

[@DanielLopez-cd7zt]

It has been a really time since I bought my figures. I first tried to paint them , not knowing that their is a technique needed to paint awesome finished work. To say the least, I hated my finished work . I started reading all my White Dwarf magazines and going to Games Workshop stores, asking lots of questions. As I watch the videos on KZbin, I finally realized that I need to start painting again, and you have brought back the desire to " Get my Ass going ".. Thanks again , I like your work and tutorials..

[@markom1433]

Yo, when the BuyPainted royalty free theme kicked in, it really got me in that chilled mood that hooks me on these kinds of tutorials 🤤

[@trovarion]

haha, nice. yeah, i got that comment a loooooot about the music, even before I knew that guys channel. Upgraded to Epidemic Sound music these days, because it is more subtle, but my instinct is always to use super dramatic music like that.

[@markom1433]

@@trovarion don't worry, I really like the newer tacks as well. Keep up those dank tutorials. I would love to see your take on a Scarab Occult Terminator some day as well!

[@williamarthur6644]

Great video, but you need to show off the final product once you've finished painting it! Let us admire your work!

[@nattodd9251]

Probably the best take I've seen on black. Only thing is the jump in steps @24 minutes of the torso, otherwise sold me on the idea. Awesome.

[@tombrand236]

This has to be one of my favourite models and you have done an incredible job on it

[@trovarion]

thanks!

[@miniqwake7118]

Incredible work and skill and patience! ♥

[@jed8076]

I really like watching these videos, they're so satisfying and informative. Big thanks! 😀👍

[@ADhammer]

The base part was great, thank you!

[@dan_zehner]

Beautiful work! I love the way you paint light on to your miniature in a very clear way. Also your freehand work is amazing, but the way you approach it in the video makes it much less intimidating to try. Well done!

[@trovarion]

thanks!

[@Zickzag]

Those freehands are amazing dude! i definetly picked up some tips from these videos, i do realize i need to invest in better brushes because the inconsistent tip of cheap synthetic ones is not gonna cut it. But i also need to practice a lot to get a lot of the basics down and better so my paints jobs can keep improving. Thank you for all the amazing content you put out !

[@TheLastRoman0000]

Wow man, that looks great. I especially liked the metal effects on the sword.

[@kimbartlett9527]

How have I only found your video now? This is amazing, thank you.

[@trovarion]

relatively young channel and the KZbin algorythm doesnt care much about small cchannels ;) The channel is growing daily, which I am very thankful for. We will get there :) Sharing on social media helps by the way ;D thanks for your kind words!

[@Compo12344321]

Amazing, if I hadn't seen it myself I would never have believed that the cross on the shoulder was painted freehand.

[@TurboPedoMan]

FFS!!! Its the best tutorial i could find on internet!! THX Mate!

[@mirkdirk7486]

Thank you for this! I just got back into the hobby a year ago, and this has given me many ideas about where to take my miniatures!

[@trovarion]

[@anubhavchaudhary7048]

Looked EVERYWHERE for a tutorial that moved away from that cartoonish blue highlighting for black armour. However, this video went above and beyond my expectations!!! Amazing work and I'll definitely contribute to the patreon!

[@trovarion]

much appreciated :)

[@Flamethrower1942]

Very nice free hand on the shoulder pad.

[@WorldEater-XII]

you are BY FAR the best i've seen on KZbin and i love your work. Because i watched your videos alot i can now finally apply the same technique's as you do and it changes the quality so much more better than before (layering, single stripe highlight etc.). I suggest everyone at the local games- workshop to follow you ;) keep up the good work and streams! much love from the Netherlands

[@trovarion]

much obliged!

[@GreenPaladin7]

One day I'll be this good. So good!!!

[@internetcoven]

Using the same music that buypainted uses is great. Great video!

[@trovarion]

There is only so much copyright free music in the audio library. I am pretty sure I used other songs somewhere that 1000 other youtubers used. I have not watched a single buypainted miniatures(?) video either. I have my way of making videos and I don't need to copy anyone. Then again there is also only so many ways to hold a miniature up to a camera while you paint it.

[@tutubeater1]

OMG this is a masterclass! thank you

[@Withspoons]

More black! I would like to see more concept tutorials regarding black as it is quite hard to get good at.

Damn, you got skills. I'll need to train a lot until I can paint my miniatures like that.

Gorgeous black armor, no way I will pull it off on my models but still great to see.

[@sussyfallen2914]

4:50 "You will have to put in some work" You lost me there chief, nice knowing you...

[@imnotgoodatgamingbutiamhig2783]

Cool vid! I would suggest instead of cutting the music completely when you talk to just fade it a little bit. As it is now it's a little bit distracting when it cuts out. Good luck!

[@mrspelly7150]

Also, please stop using that horrible elevator music that so many paintingvids use

[@army310]

i only wish you listed the paints you used, ps thank you for the video

[@TTWarGames]

leman Russ he used scalecolors but I think you can use any black, white, red, yellow, blue, brown...from any range you want or have.

[@trovarion]

I completely agree :)

[@sunlocked5838]

The outside of the cape looks close to vallejo's hull red, which is a favorite of mine as far as darker reds go.

[@trovarion]

I didn't use a single Vallejo Color for the red (from memory I used scalecolors Deep Red as a Base and then Aldebaran Red and a Skintone for highlights), but that just shows that you can use any color you would like to use, Hull Red would work perfectly fine as a base here. I try to tell and teach people not to get too stuck in recipies.
