How to Paint a Master of Possession, Black Legion

In this video I'll be painting up the Master of Possession from the Warhammer 40,000 Shadowspear boxed set. It's a stunning miniature, and when I saw it I had to paint it first. Last week's fire and flames video was taken from this miniature, so I'll link that in the video so if you want to concentrate on the flames there'll be the video of just that.

Your Tutorial was one of the best I've seen. You made the model look amazing without a bunch of techniques beginners like myself just can't follow like feathering etc... I will be watching your stuff alot.

[@BrushandBoltgun]

That's great to hear, thanks Jason, very much appreciated! I hope the rest of the videos are as useful as this one. :)

[@johnathankonandreas6074]

This is the best part for sure! Looks amazing and with simple techniques... exactly what most painters are looking for in instructional videos.

[@jredhayjay196]

Can't get mine to look as good as yours! I've really been loving your series on the Black Legion!

[@NumberOneChina]

Your black legion playlist is saving my life rn. Every video I needed on one channel. Thanks man

[@BrushandBoltgun]

Cheers Alex, very much appreciated! :) I have the chaos Lord, Executioner and a rhino to paint up for them, so there’s a few to go :)

[@D0nnyStrange]

New to 40k. I bought a CSM starter set and painted a few but decided I needed help. This guide made my MoP look amazing and I learnt so much. Thank you very much

[@socalastarte6727]

B&B, I really appreciate the step by step tutorial. I followed along and my MoP came out really nice. When I first picked the model, I wasn’t sure how I was going to get those flaming skulls done, you’re method is super easy and looks fantastic! Looking forward to painting Abaddon, Oblits and the new Dark Apostle.

[@BrushandBoltgun]

Hey there So Cal! It's another, apologies! :-l I'm really pleased to hear it's turned out well following the tutorials. Would be ace to see them but you have no Social Media stuff, right? May have to work on email! :)

[@stevepickering1256]

Stunning love the skulls and the flames really stand out stunning figure stunning paint job

[@BrushandBoltgun]

Cheers Steve, really appreciate it! :) Really like all the new CSM releases, they've made some REALLY good miniatures! :)

[@greyknight4809]

Yooooo its my boy archimatos!

[@BrushandBoltgun]

Such a stunning miniature! Absolutely love it! :)

[@Gauzy_]

Yow that's the best paint job I've ever seen saw ur oblitorator paint tutorial yesterday and the venom crawler earlier and am in awe with how they all looked once Finnished I've just started to build my chaos space marines army and am really not looking forward to painting them, still getting used too what paints work better for gold trims and other things, I knew the trims were too bright I used retributor armour as the base for them so gonna try liberator gold and use that for the highlight, thanks for the help dude u have a talent

[@BrushandBoltgun]

Cheers Calum, very much appreciated! :) Yeah, there's a few different styles of gold you can go with which is ace, darker and lighter depending on what you're looking for. :) Gotta love painting! :)

[@MrBurningrubber]

Your videos have helped me so much to develop my painting skills. I took my own approach with the colours on this one I went for a grey glowing eyes and green flames with metallic purple armour trim. I think it looks pretty awesome.

[@BrushandBoltgun]

Cheers MrBurningrubber, that's really great to hear, thank you! :) That's what painting is all about 100%, use what you want to, change what you want to, and play about with colours to see what you like best. It's amazing to see the different colours and styles people have used for the same models! Top stuff! :)

[@MrBurningrubber]

@@BrushandBoltgun you are more than welcome mate. Are you on reddit? As I've put a couple of pictures up on there id really like to get your opinion

[@socalastarte6727]

Wow, really amazing looking model! I really liked the close ups on some of the detail work. It’s really helpful to see exactly where u are painting certain details. I’ve found some tutorials to be a bit difficult to tell exactly where I’m putting certain hilights because the camera is panned back to far, You get right in there, and it’s appreciated, well done!

[@BrushandBoltgun]

Cheers So Cal, much appreciated! :) Not sure how i missed this, just discovered a heap of comments I'd missed... :-l

[@death2all79zx]

Outstanding, thank you

[@BrushandBoltgun]

Cheers Beige Devil, much appreciated. Glad you liked it! :)

[@Nobleshield]

Really nice video. The liberator gold looked really good, I might adopt that for my own black legion instead of Retributor Armor. Also, I never even considered shading a red cloak with Druchii Violet. That effect looked really great!

[@BrushandBoltgun]

Cheers Nobleshield, much appreciated! Yeah, the Druchii Violent is my go to shade for reds, works a treat! :)

[@ranzor0626]

Gotta say looks really good :) Thanks for the video

[@BrushandBoltgun]

Cheers Chewie! Very much appreciated! :)

[@stephenlooney5676]

Great tutorial! Thanks a million!

[@BrushandBoltgun]

Cheers Stephen, very much appreciated! :)

[@HistoryInTheMaking02]

Just getting into wh myself. Got my first one in today which is this character. Best step by step for it that ive seen whilst ive been waiting. Now all i need is some paint.

[@HistoryInTheMaking02]

Watched the video and wrote down your list of paint used as there were a couple paints i wint use. I might of missed it but couldnt see when they were used but citadel yriel yellow and vallejo london grey. Any ideas?

[@BrushandBoltgun]

Cheers HistoryinTheMaking02, very much appreciated! :) I've just had a look and I think the London Grey is used to highlight the horns on the staff (you could use Citadel Dawnstone for this too), and the Yriel Yellow looks like it was used on the eye of Horus on his right knee. :-)

[@lukeodom1253]

I would love to see one of the Oblits painted! BWT I love your work!

[@BrushandBoltgun]

Cheers Luke! Very much appreciated! :) You're in luck! There's an Oblit on the desk ready to go after Abaddon is finished. :)

[@lukeodom1253]

@@BrushandBoltgun Can't wait to see it!

[@BrushandBoltgun]

Luke Odom I’m really looking forward to painting it, the new ones are just stunning. Hoping the have some new Mutilators too!

[@thecalvatron1955]

He looks fantastic. I was painting my armour on my MoP dark blue but I think I'll convert to black to get that nice contrast between the armour trim and armour itself. The skull helmet and flames you painted stand out especially well; if mine looks half as good as yours when he's done I'll be chuffed!

[@BrushandBoltgun]

Cheers TheCalvatron, really appreciate that! :) I'm glad you found it useful! :)

[@jigglywiggle]

Scoucers were born to say “wazdaka red”

[@BrushandBoltgun]

Haha! It's the first words we're taught at birth! :-)

[@philipnewton6444]

boss this!

[@BrushandBoltgun]

Cheers Newt! :)

[@davedogge2280]

Which black did you prime with ? ah Halfords Matt Black spray ... brave man.

[@BrushandBoltgun]

Haha! Thankfully I've only had one dodgy can of Halfords Matt Black primer in about 15 years of using it. :)

[@RoninXiC]

Your minis always look like utter shit at the ~5 minute mark. But suddendly they turn out absolutely perfect :D I call it the "ugly-phase". Usually before the first washes. Nice job dude.

[@BrushandBoltgun]

Cheers RoninXiC, much appreciated. :-) Hahaha! You know, I always think that too. The pre-shade time looks awful to me, then once the shades go on it starts looking better! :-)

[@andrewpaul8732]

If only you got paid for my 5 hours of watch time 😂 Combines this with another tutorial to bring some green to the flames and cloak can't thank you all enough for these

[@BrushandBoltgun]

Haha, cheers Andrew, very much appreciated!:) I wish I got paid for the five hours too! haha, I'd take a fiver an hour if I could, would be WAY more than I get from KZbin! hahaha :-)

[@stevebuk100]

you need to remove all the background distractions as the camera locks in on them..

[@BrushandBoltgun]

Cheers Steve, duly noted. I'm mulling over the best way of stopping that happening, so there'll probably be a plain white background appearing in the near future. :)

[@Darkhelmet725]

Good video but please just put a graphic on the screen saying the whole, "when we come back, we'll have all the [insert color here] finished". Hearing that a dozen times made me go insane

[@BrushandBoltgun]

Cheers Phillip, very much appreciated. :) Sorry about that, insanity is part of the package. 50% painting tutorials and 50% madness - it's the only way I can function. :)

[@pliskin100]

FFS You totally skipped over the furr coat

[@BrushandBoltgun]

Hey Pliskin, thanks for watching. I have a ‘how to paint fur’ vid I did around the same time as this and it seemed pointless to redo it. :)

[@Konsistori]

It's not a bad video, but the repetition of "when we come back" started to get pretty irritating.

[@BrushandBoltgun]

Cheers for watching Antti, much appreciated. I’ll try and mix it up a bit in future! :)
