[@skert.01]

that banner turned out so so good! The idea of "dont paint the hero models different, just paint them the same+" definitely makes things much more cohesive and forces you to really see how far you can push your normal army painting recipe - and even find quick things you can add to your batch painting steps too

[@robsmith4500]

Less stressful too! Starting from the known and going beyond. I like that "same+" :)

[@ToySouljah.]

Did Jay say where he got that banner? This mini normally doesn’t come with it and yet it looks as if it should have always had it.

[@skert.01]

@@ToySouljah. Jay didn't but, looks like it features in one of the Company Command Squad box sprues (maybe elsewhere too)

[@Yama048]

While I do prefer the paintjob on the newer one, and it's a very nice paintjob, I must say I prefer the old one. Not because of any fault of yours, but it's simply a model I've seen many times before. The old marshall is a model I've never seen, since it's a kitbash, and it's that uniqueness that I always love to see when playing against someone

[@rolandnavarro5946]

Nah, primaris look better

[@KoteDarasuum]

​@@rolandnavarro5946 i hope you are joking.

[@rolandnavarro5946]

@@KoteDarasuum nope, firstborn look puny and the faces look retarded compared to primaris. You know it too, get off the nostalgia with the first born Watch the primaris termies be sold out in minutes. They look better, paint better and are proper scale.

[@_Gondor44_]

@@rolandnavarro5946 Primaris have better scale, but firstborn have the capacity to look way more interesting than Primaris. Their helmets are cooler, their weapons are cooler, etc.

[@KoteDarasuum]

@@_Gondor44_ also i personally prefer less uniform look of firstborn in 40k. I feel like more uniform marines fit better in to Legion Astartes in Horus Heresy. I would like Primaris way more if they werent as uniform and boring.

[@gunslingerspartan]

I think you should get a dreadnaught and call it clarivox, to imply he was injured and put in a dread

[@lancechamberlin8687]

I have so much red cloth to paint with Ashes of Faith coming out and I can't tell you how much I needed to see you paint that cape. Those highlights are so nice on the shoulder. Also can't deny the new Marshal is superior to the old 👀

[@KerkorDragonblood]

You present things in such an easy to understand and digestible way. I have watched hundreds, maybe thousands of painting videos/tutorials, but I dont think any have helped inspire and further my understanding of painting minis quite like yours. The new marshall looks phenomenal, keep up the brilliant work!

[@JanitorScruffy]

I second the decal demand! Especially when Games Workshop has gotten legal with 3rd party decal makers for lesser chapters. At minimum if they have a special rule or character that is official we should either be able to buy them or put like a big sheet in boxes. I mean how hard would it be to downsize the 90 blueberry decals to maybe just a squads worth and give some successors some love?

[@Maxmillion77]

Yeah the whole "we're not making transfers for these chapters and you're not allowed to either" mentality they have towards 3rd party companies is super annoying

[@cartjo]

Found your videos about a week ago. I have since bought all the recruit edition items and set up a full paint station and spent roughly 5 hours painting a single space marine last night. Thank you for your service.

[@StFelixofAstora]

This video finally gave me courage to start working on my own Marshal that I kitbashed half a year ago and have been afraid to paint ever since. Thanks you!

[@brennonr]

the gold stripe on the cape might be my favorite detail ive seen you paint, well done

[@zephyrstrife4668]

Honestly, this is a really good job. I 100% agree with HQ units being done up like your troops but with additional details. Getting them done up the same as your troops allows you to field them if you don't have the time to go the whole nine yards in one day, but by adding onto the standard paint job, your heroes come alive Good luck on your crusade against the Blue Orks

[@WilhelmScreamer]

This is the first nmm gold I actually like. Very classy. The very extreme highlights are soooooo good

[@rayshouse4933]

That looks phenomenal

[@jameszeropr]

Thoroughly enjoy your insane amount of painting techniques. Could have sworn you had finished your gold exploration but this gold was new and amazing! Shine on that armor is incredible! Painting all those non-GW models really has you making strides.

[@joshdown-wc7po]

Undercoat black primer then position your light source take a photo of the model from all the different angles then you don’t have to go back and forth with the torch. You could edge highlight all the armour too to further define the shapes.

[@ghazzy118]

I appreciate the "paint them exactly like your normal troopers...and then you add to them" sentiment. Because yeah if I know what the baseline should look like and be painted like, then I know how I go about painting all the extra bits and details.

[@DMDemon1987]

Love how the new one looks in that paint job and the details. And I am tempted to try a Ying-Yang symbol like that banner one day. Have to give a shoutout to the old once since first born are gone the way of the Dodo now.

[@pabloalonsolasagabaster658]

Old Marshal tells a more unique hobby story. I can almost imagine a young player getting excited about using his kitbashed captain in a 40k battle ! The new one is going to look great on the shelf but I don´t think he is going to see much tabletop time.

[@markpetrov7439]

I paint minis from 2 months now and this is what I strive for and really want to be able to paint like that. Cheers and your content is amazing!

[@RhiposeVtuber]

Love watching your videos, learned so much going through your content! Keep up the great work!

[@kallsing]

Awesome job! Definitely worth the extra time. KZbin permitting, I'd love to see more of these many hours into one model videos ❤

[@thomasmonks5715]

Love the decals. Gutted that they're 22 UK, all my iron hands could literall be any one except for the iron father and my venerable dread because I free handed an aweful insignia. Btw in regards to who is better, your old marshal is amazing but the new guy in gravi I just leagues above. Brother you inspired me to try harder with my painting, to make my miniatures look actually good. I learn from your videos while every thing is nice and chill and I've noticed since I've been watching you my painting has improved and the actual desire to paint, it no longer feels like something I have to do to get them table ready, it's something I want to do, I'm even painnting stuff that has no relevance to my army like I recently painted a DND hellwasp for fun. I guess I'm trying to say thank you for opening my eyes these past few months to a side of the hobby I didn't realise could be this enjoyable.

[@justinkotrba2197]

That is an excellent paint job on an amazing mini. Really well done.

[@Daydam]

Man, the quality on that paintjob is incredible. Great job!

[@laughingman4570]

Never seen a face painted with those colors but i love it. And the way you highlighted the cape is definitely a technique i will use in the future.

[@johnvanzelm2307]

Marshall Fox is the winner here. Remarkable and inspiring work! Thanks for making this video.

[@apinakapinastorba]

I like your method. It’s quite agile. After the essential paint job, you can call it done at any point, and concentrate only to those places you feel need something extra special.

[@thenapalmbrothershq5585]

Love it, you inspired me to start a BT army. I'm roughly 1000 points in now.

[@williamamely7038]

It looks awesome, Jay. Your technique is uniquely yours and really gives your models character. Thanks for sharing your video with us.

[@quitamgogh]

Really well done, Jay! I think it’s my favorite paint job of yours that I’ve seen.

[@broncofun5636]

My favorite painting tutorial of yours so far

[@krgood9008]

Both paint jobs look amazing. Bit those bits on the old marshall are *chefs kiss* We need a primaris van vets with pretty bits

[@oscarsejerjuulwehnerlarsen6984]

In terms of painting style....Yeah the new one is better, but in terms of model, there is a cool level of style and flare that the new one just dosent have. It whould be lovely to see you "re-kitbash" the old captain and paint him up with your new incredible painting skill. Lovely video J.

[@Minicornerspace]

Never been here this early before. But this looks so good!! And I didn't realize that royal capes are lined, I will definitely take that into consideration when painting my models.

[@seanm8337]

I like both marshals but I have to say I think I prefer the old once since it feels more unique and he’s named and kitbashed. You should totally do a video where you remake Clairvox and Warmund in primaris

[@gacharizer1372]

Awesome paint job on your new hero! I had the same model but I used the Power fist as the right hand weapon and placed on the helmet to make him look like a juggernaut.

[@michaelsullivan3536]

I have watched about 10 of your videos. Your public speaking is amazing man.

[@minipaintingforyou]

The flashlight is a great tool for understanding highlighting I didn’t think of myself. Thank you for sharing!

[@EndlessTide]

Great mini, lots of different tips and tricks. One of the better guides I've seen in a bit.

[@kylenpg8572]

I really like the old one. He just feels less over the top. Both are fantastic though, great work on all accounts.

[@ChampstylesTLT]

Badass paintjob on both 🤘🤘 that red really adds a new element

[@jasonuerkvitz3756]

Stellar paint job. Beautifully done.

[@ltjamescoopermason8685]

Excellent enjoyable educational experience keep black templars looking sooo cool !

[@katelystt]

Your old marshall feels like the right-hand man of the new one! Also whilst the new marshall is sooo much better I do think that the old one is very cute in like a toyish kinda way

[@reapercult7971]

watching this video was very inspirational. makes me wanna make really cool detailed heroes like this

[@rabidwargamer68]

Holy Shit! Fox came out awesome! Giving me lots of inspiration for my own hero. Thanks for sharing your process!

[@Drummercommander]

Amazing job! Love your creativity

[@Drummercommander]

Also I like the old marshal as well, but the new one stands out even more!

[@Lukas-co8gj]

Wow, he looks sick! Watching your channel made me want to paint up a black Templar army more and more 😂

[@EzperInSpace]

11:14 How do you make those little name plates? That is freaking awesome! I wanna make those for my name characters

[@origulator]

While the new one is absolutely an improvement on the old one, the old one still has a lot of charm. You should try and create an updated version of him and see how much better you could make him.

[@pointandshootvideo]

He looks amazing! Well done! Definitely worth the time and effort.

[@SafetyBriefer]

This guy is so excited to paint minis. I love it.

[@salt7598]

The new one is absolutely amazing, I love it.

[@B1ackSwordVids]

Ahhhh! Thanks Jay this was the perfect video I just needed to paint the same captain, but of course in my custom black swords space marine chapter colours of course.

[@RealJahzir]

You are a painting beast, Jay. New one is fantastic

[@romangl9070]

Great job! One trick to have the best cloak - put the single thinnest highlight in the darkest recesses of the cloak. it looks much more natural and is actually true to life

[@DRRCreations]

Absolutely gob smacking! Love your painting style and love your videos! Thank you 😀

[@kosachilles2504]

Another day, another Eons of battle 🥰

[@TheEnd]

He looks awesome great job Jay

[@dist0rted320]

To be honest I like the idea of the bare head. I know you don't like how small it is, but here's my thinking: The head has very vibrant colours, making it a focal point which draws the eye a lot. On top of that, the giant gravis hood frames the head perfectly, giving the smaller head a nice amount of space which is good since it's the focal point and you don't want it to be obscured or covered up by anything.

[@roryhatfield6696]

Excellent job! Bravo!!! I wish you would do more painting videos because you are talented

[@minigamerjeonsofbattle9376]

New painting videos come out every single Wednesday

[@MikeGeney]

Very Crispy result! i love it! Excellent presentation of your process as well!

[@bingorobins1010]

That is one hell of a clean paint job man

[@notnubilous3804]

I'd recommend a mixing white to help highlight red, specifically a zinc white. It doesn't desaturate the colors, it just "cools it down"

[@eastoforion]

oh my god the back banner! yes!!! thats exactly what this model was missing, ordering some bits now.

[@caseyfrechette]

Flashlight sweet trick thanks for that, like your gold recipe too, haven't seen that before

[@NorvilleRogers-MYSTERY-INC]

Fox looks absolutely amazing, but man Firstborn marines just hit different 🧡

[@shinkiro403]

The helmet sure does a lot a the work, it's just THAT iconic and cool

[@grimbostink7607]

This is the way I paint all my HQs. I get them 'done' the way everything else in the army does so I can then take a little extra time pushing a few highlights and adding contrast

[@MrTheJdog]

Love both of them. I think you should have made some references to your old one, as if he had the primaris surgery and kept some of his old wargear.

[@Rasmus.Elnegaard]

Wow, that model turned out great!

[@nelthanarion]

As a 20years old BT collecter, i love them both 🙏🏻

[@redsolosendyboi3455]

Much prefer the new one, BUT the mk 7 helmets are just so iconic. I like how you goldified the head on the old one. If i were you, id paint up a gold mk7 helmet same way you did the gold on the model instead of the exposed head. Black templars were notoriously... hesitant to accept the primaris marines until girlyman roasted sigi and dorn to helbrecht's face. I have a longstanding rule in my army that all leaders have first born helmets or bucket helmets that i found online

[@King_of_Sofa]

So freakin' good!!! You deserve a golden demon award!!!

[@ZiGGi03]

Looks brilliant my friend . Great work

[@ceegronlee]

some damn good tips in this vid, Jay. thank you!

[@dozer2734]

I love the paint job on the new one. it's much better, but sculpt for sculpt the old shines❤

[@MichaelTobin-qk4tx]

I like the way you highlighted the red, but have you ever tried thinned Baylor brown? It's a yellow-brown so the red shows through and gives a more natural brownish orange.

[@Aurelian-D]

What is your black power armor recipe! I can’t quite get it the same as yours! Great work as always Jay.

[@Paintedfigs]

Both are stunning. Well done!

[@ethansayers3318]

What a beautiful mini!

[@AJMOFO1987]

Holy shit how good is this guy at doing this

[@shanewalker3427]

Dude. He looks awesome.

[@Just_Kenneth_63]

Really wonderful mini paint job... thanks for sharing

[@silentnight9097]

You could enter this for golden demon bud. Amazing work!

[@Dubious.Bovine]

Did you ever get the Army Painter ratios dialed in? That contrast paint combo turns out exactly how I want to do Grey Knights.

[@monsterofvalhalla3397]

Executed perfectly. Shared a few new ideas with me in this one. Cheers

[@508thHeavyPanzerBattalion]

So you see I like the helmet on the old one but the newer one just looks better in general

[@chrismurphy3745]

Great video more of your painting and basing always welcome

[@shaundowse2894]

Totally going to steal that halved banner idea.

[@J-Teg]

Awesome paintjob, Bit Tool much Eavy Metal Style for my Taste.

[@flopa-lophip2375]

you could try adding green blood on the armor for a more vibrant contrast

[@salmanhamid9911]

That looks incredible!

[@ThomasGallinari]

Wow he looks so good 👍👍

[@chrisjulien7698]

Christ bless you, Fox looks amazing 🤩 but that old one is pretty cool too

[@puppethound]

You are amazingly talented ❤

[@judenewlands6693]

Nice video jay I love watching your videos

[@PeterIsATeacher]

your old marshall looks like a champion. Still great, but the new one is a definite improvement

[@paulgrant4473]

Fantabulous job.. well done.

[@alocascio5825]

Incredible model. incredible video.

[@DanielTommy-zo2jp]

Hi Jay, you've inspired me to do a black templars army,what is the ratio for the black armour colours Thanks and keep up the good work

[@Nick-fh4wd]

Amazing video as always ❤
