How to get started with Warhammer 40K and Paint your first Miniatures 10th edition

[@MoonlesssNight]

Your 9th edition guide was really good, but this is a genuine upgrade. While I’m not new to 40k, I will say this is a much better guide video. Well done!

What great timing on this video. My first miniatures and tools are supposed to arrive today and last weekend i watched your tutorial on Necrons and Space Marines from 2 years ago. I was just looking for it again and saw this one. I have wanted to get into 40k tabletop for quite awhile and am most interested in the war game but excited to get to painting also and my wife is an artist so naturally I am diving in head first with the Leviathan box set.

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

Oooo exciting. That is good timing 😁 I really hope you enjoy the hobby. Make sure to have fun with it. Good luck

[@LotroJahrell]

​@@TableTopReadyKZbin i noticed you used watered down abaddon black instead of Abraxas Earthshade which you used in your previous video. Why the change?

[@LotroJahrell]

I actually tried both ways because I do like the clean look of not having everything shaded. The black was a lot more punishing and specific to the armor so I used the abraxas earthshade for shading the recessed lines. It was more forgiving on the metalic bits, leathers and in hard to reach areas. Now im cleaning it up with the blue and its looking really nice. Tomorrow I will try for some highlighting. For my first ever mini's I'm doing a batch of 10 flame torch Ultramarines. I figure even if i mess up a bit at least they are all uniform haha

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

I use to use shades for recess shading but now I like to use the paints. This is becuase the paints provide more of consist strong colour. it's a choice though :) if you prefer the shades then thats whats right for you :D keep working hard and tryng things out is how we learn and get better quicker.

[@huwtindall7096]

Nice guide. But even for beginners I recommend and undercoat so the base paints adhere better. Even a cheap can of grey plastic primer from a Halfords in the UK or even pound store black spray paint is fine. Shouldn't blow cost out.

I just started this hobby like a week ago. Now I have 32 paints [a lot of shades and technical] and my biggest hurdle is accidental touches :( I got myself magnifying glass to help me aim but still I from time to time mess up, which means I have to do yet another QC pass with same colors. After like 15 hours I am still in pre-nuln oil phase of painting about 17 miniatures [adepta sororitas] (as denoted in duncan tutorial). I still have to do QC abaddon black pass after all other passes. It's undending. But so much fun to see the result and the zen feeling doing it!

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

As long as your enjoying it. That’s important. When you start, it’s going go take a lot of getting use to and learning brush control. The more you do the better we get.

So if your a new painter you might as well make a wet pallet it can easily be made with a Tupperware I've even used old plastic lunch meat containers cleaned first of course. Then fold like 5 paper towels so they fit in the container then put a peice of parchment paper on top of your paper towels tats also cut to fit. Your paper towel will keep moisture and the parchment with seperate your paint and keep it wet and usable much longer you can always put the lid on and come back tomorrow

[@medicgaming9117]

I love transfers and use them any chance I get. applying transfers tend to be the last thing to do on a miniature in most situations. watch my beginner ultramarines video and also my very first video on the channel. for weathering and battle damage I show that in a mix of tutorials where I think the miniature needs it :) good luck

Painting my very first miniature set now, 10th edition introductory set. This video has given me a lot of confidence that my minis won't look good awful. Thank you for the help. Edit- Is it okay to use normal acrylic paints like for canvas on minis? It may seem like a dumb question but like I said I'm a noob.

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

awsome, I hope your enjoying the hobby. Personally I would avoid acrylic paints that are specific for miniature painting. They have different consistencies and the pigment strength can be poor, especially for cheaper stuff. There are cheaper alternatives than citedal, for example I'm a bug fan of Vallejo paints and you can use a 'conversion chart' to find the same colours. we spend a lot of money on the miniatures so its worth investing in paint for them. as well when starting out just worry about your base colours and slowly get more paints later when you can

Yes you can 😄 miniatures are just a representation mostly. Don’t worry you’ll get there 💪🏻

This is such a great video thank you so much for the info!

Hello, how much should i water down the paint so i dont under do or over do the paint with water.

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

i always say thin your paint with the same amount of water, but it does come with pratice and expriance :)

[@Rock-Hard]

@@TableTopReadyKZbin Thank you, I rewatched your Video and now I heard what you Said with the paint, how dumm of me! Thank you for your answer.

[@Theroses2008]

My only question on this guide is how I can expand upon it? Like what should I buy to further my painting

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

thats really upto you, seeing as you have the tools and paint set you could expand to one of the starter sets. I really just wanted to show how a miniature is painted and explain all the ideas and why things are done the way they are. the information can then be continued on to other projects regardless :D

[@jaimecruz17]

Rust oleum black primer would work for space marines ?

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

I can't really say, I've never used it or know anyone who has. do your research :D

[@tyrant4798]

rust oleum works great to prime

It Is usefull to start painting before the arms are attached to the torso?

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

it is, but these miniatures are push fit and so you really should assemble them fully. you can watch my getting miniatures ready for painting video to get a better idea of the process

[@hotchocolateoverlord1155]

I have just brought this paint set I'm curious what chapters can you print with it

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

You can paint any chapter that has the colour of any of the paints. You can even make your own 👌🏻

[@nachtmacher6237]

😊 thank you and as always it's amazing 😊

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

Thank you 🙏🏻

[@matthewdelk5729]

I really want to get into this but a bit intimidated since I’m not super good with painting. And do you have to use primer before painting?

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

this is why I made this video, to give you the information and knowledge so it isn't so over whelming. if you follow what I do in the video with out any expectations and just give it a try then you'll love it. I would reccomend doing an undercoat but if your fllowing this video then its not needed just for 2 miniatures

[@matthewdelk5729]

@@TableTopReadyKZbin thank you, I shall give it a shot. They have the exact paint/tool set and a similar 2 minis set at my local hobby store

[@СлавикСеваГолуб]

How many layers of blue do you have to put on a space marine?

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

i usually go for 2 to 3 layers

[@СлавикСеваГолуб]

Thanks!

[@firegoldpenguin]

Do you think it's possible to paint custodian minis with just the startet paint set?

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

I think you could honestly, I would get a pot of Retributor armour and Reikland fleshshade as well, but the rest can be done with what you have in the box. gold armour with a reiklandfleshsahde wash and then you can paint all the other details with the box paints

[@arvhenvondegerfeld5033]

GREAT VIDEO man! thank you! New subscriber! First time : I just bought Death company set and the 40k base paint set, glue and a handling base. Are those colors ok to start painting death company? :D any suggestion? will watch your others video. :D

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

welcome to the hobby. you should be able to use the paints in this set to paint them. they just black, red and silver pretty much :) just get all your base colours painted and then as you get more comfortable you can try other techniques. whatch my how to better collect and paint warhammer video

[@matze0402]

How do you keep your colours active/wet on your palett? I feel like once once I mixed a colour and used it once, it already dried out by the time i need to reload my brush with it

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

something i use is a wet pallet. I have one linked in the description of the one I use, its very good.

[@gryphon12321]

Dear tabletopready, just starting and everywhere they say start with a primer. Is the base paint the same or why didn't you use primer?

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

I do cover all these in the video. the base paint isn't a primer. I do reccomend if your going to get into the hobby properly then I would use an undercoat or primer. I don't do it for the video because it adds cost and makes things more complicated for just 2 miniatures to see if you like the hobby or not

[@jukkaz]

Hi. love your beginner tutorial 😊👍🏻. Is there any difference if i use a synthetic brush? (the white ones)

[@kharbury]

The white synthetic brushes are just fine for starting out. In fact they often recommend synthetic brushes for beginners until you learn how to use the brush properly and brush control. You don't have to buy GW brushes tho. Even a cheap starter set from an art store or other hobby store is just fine. Then, as you get better, you can upgrade to real sable brushes. And don't buy GW brushes. They're ok but you're paying a premium price for a basic product. They are know to have poor brushes. Look at Raphael or Devinci or Windsor and Newton.

[@jukkaz]

@@kharbury great!!! really appreciate your reply 😊❤️

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

Not at all. The only issue I find with them is that they hook at the tip. But try out different brushes and find which you like best. Everybody is different 😃

[@seanlee2873]

Well one thing I do appreciate with the newer miniatures is that they can be built with limited use of glue. I started off with 4th edition high elves and then moved off the 40K 2nd Edition. The miniatures were far smaller and fully utilized glue to build. Man, when I look at some of my first space marines I wish I knew to thin my paints lol. Cause they are just a lump of blue and yellow paint now that I look back on them.

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

Thanks for sharing :)

[@Dracobyte]

Thank you for such a great guide!

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

Your very welcome 😃 thank you for the comment

[@giret4391]

Im watching this video for like the 20th time still debating If I should pull the trigger and start this hobby 😅 If you could add any paint colors to this set what would it be?

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

you should give it ago. its a such an amazing hobby. I would add retributor armour and use it instead of the darker gold you get in the paint set

[@dreadtrain2846]

Primer is always needed. I'd argue a new person needs it more than anyone.

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

if they want to commit to the hobby then I agree, but not for 2 minitures wanting to try the hobby out. it just ads cost and another thing to learn

[@dreadtrain2846]

@@TableTopReadyKZbin I was just thinking how much worse a mini painted without primer looks and how the paint doesn't stick very good. Just a bad experience for a newcomer, I think anyway.

[@Mstet-f9f]

Thanks, very helpfull. ❤

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

:D I'm glad

[@LL-qd4tn]

i can't find the starter brush on the website. is the base brush s or layer one the same or as good?

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

the starter brush only comes in the tool set. its not a great brush anyway. I would go with a medium layer brush if i had to choose

[@mathewreveles2156]

Can’t you just use a grey colored primer that matches the models to undercoat?

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

you can use an undercoat or primer yes :)
