Jay this is the 7th year in a row you’ve shown “perfected my Black Templars scheme” in class

[@agollumcalledgandalf]

it's a meta commentary on how you never truly perfect your army scheme, yet you should never cease trying

[@xXNoobKillaXx]

He just thinks they're neat!

Jay, your use of non-black-black is really good and I appreciate being able to see the details. Can’t wait for your next iteration of the perfect Black Templars next year ❤

[@ForWorkPurposesOnly]

Forget the haters. Pure black doesn't look as good as what you have created. Keep on doing what you do.

[@Theberzerkers121]

Looks more like the 50 shades of grey Templars :D

I love your Black Templars, every time I'm watching one of your videos I want to paint my BT immediately

[@espio194]

Black Templar keep sounds like a perfect future terrain pack.

[@ltjamescoopermason8685]

These latest black templers are waves above the tailor's in finish my brother 10/10 ₩without a doubt black templer are superbly painted that are finished 10/10 ! How many veterans are fondly finished to a successful career 10/10

[@hanftster5064]

Jay, Thank you so mush for that wet pallet video you made 2 years ago, i just painted a Star Wars Legion General Grievous and it looks magnificent and it is great.

[@danielatkins9640]

I love the diorama idea. PLEASE DO IT!!! Also just a quick thank you. Your painting has inspired me numerous times when I’ve started getting fatigued with it.

[@SnyperMac1]

I love the way you go about doing black armour, because its looks more like a blackened metal than a painted armour, to me this still reads as black and in my opinion GW could learn a thing or two from your technique.

[@samtownley9019]

Must be so rewarding to be able to demonstrate all your experience. Something for us all to aspire to...

[@nunyabusiness4904]

I don’t play Black Templars but I always get excited watching Jay paint some.

[@Larront]

I've been really enjoying watching this series as it ticks along, and seeing you dive a little into each of the chapter's lore as you go. But as a chaos player at heart I would love to see you tackle all of the chaos legions as well!

[@freedomgeek2097]

How is it that you’ve never painted thousand sons? They’re so up your alley

[@KamenRiderGreed]

I'm shocked he hasn't painted a Warpcoven Kill Team yet, considering how obsessed with Kill Team his is.

[@taquitothegecko8709]

Jay would have a field day with Tsons lol

[@ChuckFars]

There's too many of them

[@dr.stronk9857]

Their my favorite

[@taquitothegecko8709]

Wait a damn second, @freedomgeek2097 aren’t you on the cooks server?

[@Couchpotato-tr7pe]

It’s awesome to see about her black Templar maniac. They where my first army since I started, granted it was only 8 years ago but I have slowly amassed quite a force.

[@zieg0r]

I don't care how many videos you put out on your Black Templars, I always like watching you paint them.

[@PlainBoredom]

i love your almost weekly different space marine chapters! after all the big ones are knocked out, i would love your take on those unlucky lamenters! or some 30k color schemes on some MK6 marines. they come in such high quantities in a box, there should be enough for all of them surely

[@duartegomes3074]

Would like to see a Carcharodon next on this one marine series

[@stephenwitham]

I been asking for this since day one haha

[@AntonNL]

You are a great painter, but also a great presenter! I really enjoy the clear instructions and speech.

[@RichardJRussell]

The little shield is called an 'Ecranche'. It was used as a target in jousting and serves no practical purpose on a battlefield.

[@_s.o.l_]

Does it not provide extra armor since its usually on the shooting arm?

[@sony616vm]

It adds the cool factor

[@strawberrypuddin8919]

PractiCOOL

[@izzydarkhart4144]

Although crusade squad initiates typically have black trim, close quarter units do have red trim. Now black is a classic but i actually use black for ranged units and red for close quarters units so that my units have a mix of colors. Off-black is always better honestly. I do mine black with dark jade and teal lighly drybrushed on.

[@ZekiPocho]

Would like to see Imperial Fists next! Outstanding painting as always, also glad to see more of your Black Templars, they're truly "yours" love the original details you give em

[@obamaismexican9309]

As a fellow black Templar fan you don’t have to explain yourself jay that color scheme is sick

[@samwagner787]

I've been painting a ton of Carcharodons (Space Sharks!) lately and I would love to see your take on the scroll-work on their armor! Lots of folks take inspiration from Maui tattoo designs but I don't think we have ever gotten a concrete description of the designs in any books.

[@pejo3348]

Maybe the perfect black templar is the friends we made along the way

[@Shimmy8]

Your black Templar are the absolute best I’ve seen. You are making me debate whether to start a BT army with the your scheme, or Dark Angels.

[@johnhanley5546]

Greetings from Northern Ireland... always enjoy your painting vids - keep 'em coming!

[@hurpaderpash7270]

Being a newer person to the hobby, your videos have been a great help. I've just finished my first models today, bases and all! They are clone troopers stationed on a jungle planet, thick with foliage and blue crystals jutting out of the ground. And their armor has green markings to help them better blend into the planets terrain. While not the greatest by any means, your advice really helped me navigate my way through the process. And I just wanted to thank you! :D I've also just built a Captain in Gravis Armor model, so I'm looking forward to painting him as well! (He's going to be a Crimson Fist! :D)

[@xJadeWolfxx]

I think your templar look great, but I actually go opposed to your thoughts. My Deathwatch are INKY black. Its a similar mix but one layer of Black Templar contrast over a layer of Leviadon contrast. I want them to look void-black. But I love the unique heraldry per mini you do. I go a bit similar but I think I might lean into the tilt shields on more models.

[@Grayhamsaysno]

Love the way you do your shoulderpads. Niche choice - the Charnel Guard!

[@GriffythTV]

im working on my leviathan box and am getting ready to do the marine half as space wolves, cuz why not :D id love to see you do up some

[@hellothere640]

This is what ive been looking for! Just started with black templars as my first army!

[@tony_ellis]

Would LOVE to see a shot of all your painted Black Templar army together!

[@LukeEvans2222]

I love the crusader box, bought the black templar combat patrol the other day and converting them into Dark Angels

[@sbeaber]

You have fine taste, sir.

[@Entariiljc]

I would LOVE to see how you'd do a Sons of the Phoenix color scheme. I'm about to get back into the tabletop after years of not having picked up a paint brush and am pretty set on SotP as my chapter of choice.

[@villageidiot6360]

I just started painting miniatures. I don’t play the game but I absolutely love it. My first box was grey knight, terminators I finished two. I would love to see you paint some.

[@leemassey1934]

Always been orks for me but just started painting grey knights combat patrol. Would love to see your take on grey knights.

[@meritwise250]

Jay, the Howling Griffons would be a really fun scheme to see you tackle! I would love to see your approach to the cross hatched colors they have!

[@snoozemax]

You should try Tome Keepers or Exorcists!

[@odharrison23]

I like your black Templar. You have color variation. You do you boo!! Astral claws!! Thanks gents!! Fantastic as always!!!

[@Br0ns0n1000]

Excellent video, with great breakdown of stages that i feel could be applied to different colour schemes! Please do something on Dark Angels, might be abit much to ask but how about doing a bonus where you cover the Green, Bone and Black of each 😇 Ill ❤ you long time if you include extra painting stages to turn normal troops into elite by adding the respective colours of each branch of the chapter. Please Jay, your the only one i trust with this!

[@shaun4468]

Thanks for another video. They've helped me a lot. Also, I have added the skulls to the power plant and chained skulls to my bt army

[@evileyeball]

I really would love to have some of these for the Cloak/Tabard guys when building a Dark angel Intersession Kill team hahaha

[@scoucesensei]

Just starter Black templars will be icing your method for the black love your vids

[@marley4404]

0:55 "Black Templar can do Space Marine horde mode" fella just described 10th edition SM as a whole

[@gunman292929]

Love your recipe for the armor, I have a friend that is building Our Martyred Lady and I may borrow your recipe for when I inevitably paint something for him again as a gift.

[@Minishimirukaze]

This is very cool. Im now considering trying a wash for a black armor based dark angels successor chapter I have been thinking about.

[@Annihilo]

Man, you just inspire me to keep painting my black Templar army one day it will get as big as yours.

[@ceegronlee]

I love watching you bring a model to life!

[@henrytrimble4929]

I love how consistently you update your black Templar recipe

[@orrinfreeman5672]

The custom Black Templar paint jar for the custom color is so Jay I love it.

[@curAItor]

I landed here because of Space Marines 2. I love all of this

[@nicklong27]

That looks sick man. Well done!

[@TM-bf1qi]

I Love your Black/grey recipe. I kinda use a similar technique for my raven guard chapter

[@54tisfaction]

Your technique is awesome, and I can see how you can quickly create a horde of Black Templars that are way beyond table top standard! But, I still think the plate is too light, like a sort of Heresy era Space Wolves... Maybe a coat of Nuln Oil would be the ticket?

[@distinctbutter9075]

The most generous recruitment process 😂 "anyone can be a space racist! You, little boy! Do you hate aliens, witches, and anyone who doesn't look like you? Perfect! Welcome aboard!"

[@bludgeon314]

Would love to see your take on Novamarines

[@e_m_met]

Always nice to see someone painting a fringe chapter and I have never seen or heard of these space marines before! :) How about painting the most famous chapter? The one that started it all way back in 1987.Crimson fists! A Horus Heresy MK VI beakie will look awesome painted up by someone with your painting prowess!

[@PearlJam2k6]

There's something you should try on a one-off Templar. Try using Black 4.0 for the color, just to see how it comes out with the proper void black scheme.

[@tpmandy]

Jay, please try out some world eaters berserkers!, im struggling to decide how best to go about them and your ideas are always just so great. You being able to use constrast paints on space marines instead of going straight to the airbrush is just so fun. But yeh, world eaters! Red an gold, or red and brass or something new, gimme some hints and tips with all that trim!

[@jaylangley6229]

I’ve wanted to work on Space Wolves but I’d love to see how you would interpret them first!

[@treymartinez7398]

I would love to see a different variation of your black cause i do like your black templars look great but if you do ever have a chance try Dark Angel, Ravenwing specifically the outriders or ravenwing command squad or Black Knights they are a black as well

[@justinrisen1929]

I have been a BT fan for a long time and ive no fuckin clue how i wasnt aware of the lore tid bit about the skulls being the previous marines who used the power armor. That is so fuckin metal its amazing! Thankyou for that Jay

[@gamer_doge006]

I just got my first warhammer model and your probably the main reason i decided to get one so thanks

[@MrGreenpaulo]

Enjoy!

[@Lonewolf8472]

If you were to make a homebrew chapter, what would you call it and how would you paint the Space Marines?

[@marshaledrek71]

OMG a BT collector after my own heart! I also prefer using the water decals vs the increased painting work the chapter specific shoulder pads require!

[@StagDigital]

I really like your videos, they are energetic, positive, and motivationnal to get rid of my pile of shame !

[@johnwhite7842]

Hey Jay love to see your take on Alpha Legion.

[@GeorgioSubs]

Jay understands that perfection is a moving target. I hope you do Legion of the Damned some day!

[@arandominternettraveller786]

Brilliant as always! How about the Crimson Fists? they never seem to get a lot of love

[@Kakos08Theos]

I've always loved your Templars, they look great

[@hairyjubes149]

I have an army of mantis warriors. Would love to see you take a crack at one of them !

[@ytyt2648]

I think your black templars paint scheme is one of the best.

[@garryame4008]

Would be cool to see some pre chaos traitor marines

[@NorthInium]

Those grey templars look great.

[@beevebeeverson]

Been trying and retrying to paint some black Templars. I don’t like all the black NMM out there cause it just looks like silver. But this looks fantastic.

[@wezleyvaneyssen541]

looks great man like the color scheme, think you should do the Diroma you are thinking about.

[@nikipinz]

Nicely done! Love the contrast with the dark armor

[@HauntSilver]

I would love, love, love if you could do a Lamenters video! They're my favourite chapter but I hate the desaturated mustard yellow or the orange of Imperial Fists. I like bright yellow, vibrant against the dark red of Baal and the guts of the xenos enemy 😄

[@hurmly4128]

I love your templar colors so much!

[@SaviorThree]

calling it the raven guard -crow- is so funny

[@syntaxe_error8362]

hey jay ! nice paint as always! i'm trying to paint a Carcharodons army myself but i'm having a hard time making them look interesting... maybe you could try this chapter next ? 😇 chow us the way master ! 🤙

[@lachlanjerram8189]

World Eaters please! Love to see your take on a classic red Berserker

[@florianschafauer2343]

Jay your Painting Style is nothing but breathtaking! And your actual Black Templars look sooo stunning, I love them so much! Although, they really are exactly grey 🤣🖕❤🤣

[@danielhall5554]

That box flip was epic!

[@mtgplayer1239]

you really make me repaint my black templar. such a recipe :)

[@andystocking5316]

As a Dark Angels player I unironically love the Crusader squad box, add in a few shields and you have 6x Bladeguard Veterans and 4 scouts, needing just one more kitbashed scout to get 3 boxes worth of guys.

[@kenusaga]

Would love to see your take on painting Grey Knights!

[@LinusE]

Although they are called *Black* Templars I feel like you did a great job att detailing the *Templar* aspect of this marine, great job!

[@Honz1q]

I love your BT scheme! And the old beaky marine looks like the same scheme but standing in a shadow 😅

[@Voraxly]

I love how you do black armor so much that I actually use it for my Ravengaurd

[@jakeherrod7494]

Can you make a video of how you would paint a black Templar vehicle with the exact paints you used for power armor? I love your mixture of contrast paints, I just find it hard to match my vehicles to the same color. Thank you!

[@jakeg-shep]

Less "nails" and more "railroad spikes" is how I'd describe those nails

[@madrobot711]

Super dope Jay. I love your videos. 🤜🏼🤛🏻

[@jake...]

Finally, I get to paint Black Templars like the legend himself! 💪

[@RealJA1904]

this jingles my jams

[@Kattbirb]

As a Crimson Fist player, I'm glad more Sons of Dorn are getting their time in the spotlight.

[@Taal111]

How would you go about painting Blood Ravens without them looking like knock-off Blood Angels?
