This has to be the best Deathwing painting video I've come across, and I don't even collect/paint Dark Angels (Blood Angels and Ultramarines). Despite not collecting Dark Angles, I always love the colour scheme of the Deathwing. 😄 EDIT: Hell YES I'd love to see a video regarding the freehanding.

I would give so much for your brush control and easy flowing technique. I have a whole Deathwing army to repaint for the 3rd time since 4th Edition and I wish I could replicate this...

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

To develop brush control it's all about deliberate practice. My advice is get a large brush (R&Co Series 33 size 3 is my choice) and paint Primaris trying to copy the Eavy Metal steps and size of highlights. It's going to be a struggle but after not long you WILL be able to do it. After that, congratulations, you have brush control.

I believe The Colour Forge has a ‘Matt White’ spray designed to be a direct colour match to Corax White. I haven’t tried it myself but I’ve used their Averland Sunset colour match spray and it works perfectly.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Thanks!

[@noogai131]

Vallejo white primer also has the same kind of tacky semi gloss finish that White Scar has, which I've found to honestly be better for layering down my contrast and bone colors than Corax White.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Vallejo white primer is indeed excellent but it's pure white and I very much prefer the slight grey of Corax

[@mirage809]

I always thought you'd be more of a Blood Angels, but then you also do have a lot of love for Moot Green. Either way, that Deathwing is sexy. Box art worthy paintjob. Clever thing too, going for ochre instead of orange for the highlights on the red. Keeps the focus on the armour, which is the main attraction here. Personally I cannot wait until I get my hands on the Leviathan box set. My Dark Angels can always use more terminators to teleport in and I think I might convert the captain into a Belial model. (Or paint him as something totally different, dunno yet.)

No no. 13th is the best... ‘My lord,’ Sergeant Arkus said, saluting. He was carrying his company’s standard. ‘At ease, Arkus,’ Guilliman told the Ultramarine. Arkus’s armour glinted in the sunlight. ‘You’re trying too hard,’ he added. ‘My lord?’ ‘When I arrived last night, your armour was in perfectly respectable condition, as was the plate of the other battle-brothers in your company. I remember these things. This morning, you’ve buffed your plate to the point of insanity.’ ‘My primarch is here,’ Arkus said, offended. ‘A surprise inspection of this post. What else would I do?’ Guilliman got up and faced him. ‘I’m sorry, Arkus. My remark was petty and uncalled for. Your armour code is perfect.’ Arkus nodded, and rested the base of the standard on the ground. ‘My lord,’ he said. ‘I am an Ultramarine. Trying too hard is the entire point of us, isn’t it?’ Guilliman smiled and saluted Arkus.

I don't really understand using 3 highlight colors. To me it looks like the second is covering up the first highlight. I started dry brushing highlights on. If it's too much I clean it up with the base color. I personally think it's looks more realistic as the GW painted armor looks like it's from the movie Tron. This model looks really good, don't get me wrong. I'm envious 😊
