Sonic, I hope you see this: The other day, I thought about starting up a channel on how to easily dry brush and speed paint 40k, and then it dawned on me, that I learned everything I know about simple painting from YOU, and I'd be totally ripping you off. I have a 2500 points Imperial Guard army that would look like total trash if I hadn't found your channel. Love you, man. Thanks for sharing the love for us bad painters. Your techniques are simple and awesome

I recently started doing up my surplus Dark Angels from the old start set(3 sets!), got 30 marines, 12 bikes and 15 terminators. I got some caliban green spray and then drybrushed some Vellejo German Camo Bright Green with a makeup brush. Got a really nicely blended dark to light highlight, almost like an airbrush.

@Daktangle4 ай бұрын
The Raptors are a very cool chapter. They can be essentially described as "reasonable Marines", seeing the Codex Astartes as a set of starter military tactics to be used and adapated on the fly. They teach their marines to be self sufficient, and their forces usually operate for long periods outside of normal supply lines. They prefer ranged combat to melee, but will use whatever tactics best suit the situation. They also see all Imperial forces as war assets of worth, and will requisition Imperial Guad units for sensible uses rather than letting them be used as cannon fodder.

I'm always a little surprised by how well-received the Space Marines are, but it shouldn't shock me after all this time! There's always more of them to tackle - I'm pretty sure I could just dedicate the channel to full-time Marine painting and nobody would be bothered. 😂

This is a wonderful dead simple scheme that works with simple details but can be added to if/when you can be bothered it's so elegant and clean, my own chapter I'm building uses an Olive scheme and this will help me smash out my space marine armour and imperial fatigues I'm also doing Bronze heads, triming and certain plates as well as purple eyes, seals joints and effects called the Copperhead Rouges Side note this works great for Ork skin I bet

@martineasterman51704 жыл бұрын
Really excellent work as always. I really like the use of that shade on this colour scheme, there was no need for your to either co back with an over brush of the base colour OR sit there and shade with a tiny brush into all of the armour panel joins and cracks...but it looks heavy metal style on the shade...wish there was a shade for dark angels that worked like that? I used your dark angels tutorial and that is the only bit that makes me jealous here. Thanks for the videos learning all the time.

Hey, I know it's been a while, but I have a question. So I see you do the armor first, and then finish it with everything, including black. I'm slightly new to the hobby (i've painted around 20 minis) and while it's gotten way better, I sometimes still mess up the undersuit. Is it easy to clean up mistakes with this? I assume not, since it's base+drybrush+shade, no? I could be as neat as I can, but I don't trust myself enough to be able to 100% not mess up. Same thing on the black leather and gun (when it borders with the fingers) if not, would it be possible to paint the black before the shade (or maybe even drybrush), fix it, then do the rest? Or would the athonian camoshade mess up the black and make it green-ish? Any ideas/solutions? Sorry for the long comment, I'm just sure that you're way more experienced than me with this.

@SonicSledgehammerStudio4 жыл бұрын
The boxed sets with the little paints are really an opportunity to give painting and assembling miniatures a try. But despite the blue Ultramarines on many of the boxes, you can paint them any colour you want to represent different Chapters of Space Marines. You just need the paints to do it! ;D

@SonicSledgehammerStudio4 жыл бұрын
For the eyes of most of my Marines I do just a short white line in the socket - don't fill in the whole eye lens - and then put a dollop of an appropriate glaze or Contrast colour in there. It then settles toward the edges and gives a very quick finish.

I do plenty of videos in which they feature - check out some of the Bolt Action ones, or anything with an Army Painter thumbnail. When it comes to Citadel miniatures I tend to stick mostly to Citadel paints as a matter of practicality; if someone's got a bunch of Space Marines, chances are good they're going to have access to the paints that match.
