How to paint a Primaris Chaplain

[@boulderingbadger6179]

Just bought my first model last night. Cannot wait to see if I like the hobby. 38 and ive never put a model together before.

[@flamingoflame]

Really like the leather look here, will steal this for dark angels' togas/cloths

[@BrushandBoltgun]

Cheers Greg, glad it’s of use! :) there’s a few different leather videos I’ve done that may be helpful too for different shades. :)

[@ETH5626]

Great work on that Chaplain.

[@BrushandBoltgun]

Cheers Shadowhawk, very much appreciated! :)

[@marcxae]

Thanks for this tutorial, very useful🙌 And I really appreciate the details of the paint in the caption!

[@BrushandBoltgun]

Cheers Marc, very much appreciated! :) If it helps its worth doing! :)

[@MiniwiiNoopy]

That looks amazing ! Thank you for all ur tips, very helpful for a beginner painter like me !

[@JaminStringy]

Thanks so much Rob! I especially love the brown leather cloak. This guy will be my Imperial Fists Chaplain and I think he will look awesome amongst the yellow. Cheers, Ben

[@BrushandBoltgun]

Cheers Ben, very much appreciated! :) I've done a couple of other videos on painting different types of leather in this playlist (kzbin.info/aero/PLAKaIzn_G7mNWG9ObECN6v4XtrEpgvpKh) which might be useful. If you're on instagram tag me once done, would love to see it! :)

Fantastic as always Rob. Going to watch how to paint video now

Cheers Jono, very much appreciated! :)

Great video as usual. Makes me want to paint my Chaplain!

[@BrushandBoltgun]

Cheers Jarrod, very much appreciated! :-) You should, it's a great miniature to paint! :-)

Hello. Great job 👍

Cheers Rudy, very much appreciated! :-)

Great tutorial Ty

[@MrCrystalwarrior1]

Watching your videos is making me yearn harder and harder to start collecting a Space Marine army again, despite the cost involved. You just hit the spot every time for me, and it's getting harder to resist starting an Astartes force for myself, at the cost of putting aside my fantasy "Company of Oddfellows" for a while :-D Truly beautiful Lamenters Chaplain, Rob. You even make a chapter with a shady history and reputation for "salvaging" new armour/weaponry from the wrecks of other Chapters' ships and outposts look tempting to collect :-)

[@BrushandBoltgun]

Sorry Paul! 🤣🤣 It’s the new miniatures, I swear. Over the past couple of years I can only think of a handful I’ve not liked. Thankfully I’ve restrained myself and not gone wild on releases or it’d be bread and water for meal times! 🤣 The marine stuff is stunning though. 😁 Resiiiist! Resiiiist!

[@MrCrystalwarrior1]

@@BrushandBoltgun I know exactly what you mean, as I've painted so many Primaris Marines for other people lately, I just sit amazed at how good they are when compared to the old RBT01 figures from way back when Rogue Trader introduced us to the WH40k Universe :-) I've built a pictorial file of almost 900 Astartes Chapters for people who use my painting service to pick a chapter scheme from (I point blank REFUSE to paint U****marines, as I'm sick to death of them always being shown in photo's and lauded as a chapter that epitomizes what an Astartes should be.) A lot of the images are from the WH40k "canon," while the rest are from homebrew sites, and much more interesting/challenging to paint :-) I just try my best not to fall into 40k again, as I would either go bankrupt or insane trying to paint up all the chapters I want to collect for myself :-D I love hw you paint the Lamenters and Flesh Tearers, as they are both pretty dark Blood Angels successor chapters in their own right, and so much more interesting than most of the others. Then again, I LOVE the White Scars and the Dark Angels, so can't complain if someone wants them painted by me :-D Happy days ahead for me, as I just got asked to paint a homebrew squad or two by a customer, so I get to challenge my painting skills at quartering a colour scheme :-)

[@onerom1973]

great job friend

[@BrushandBoltgun]

Cheers ONEROM, very much appreciated! 😃🙌

[@georgepilkington9350]

Very new to the hobby, can you get ultramarine chaplain? Like would it be OK to paint him blue or is he always meant to be black?

[@salahal-din7564]

Nice job! Gonna do a Salamander one but my Army have Black soulder pads... Maybe left soulder green and black for the other. Thanks.

[@BrushandBoltgun]

Cheers Salah, very much appreciated! :) I've got a guy sprayed green here for a Salamander (using a similar method to one of my pals). They're a superb looking Army! :)

[@wolfgangcomacho]

Drago would approve .... very nice

[@BrushandBoltgun]

Cheers Colin, very much appreciated! I hope he would! 🤣🙌

[@adriant1654]

Very nice painting. Thanks to your camera's auto focus, I'm wondering what are those yellow and grey minis in the background?

[@BrushandBoltgun]

Cheers Adrian, very much appreciated! :) Just had to scan through to see which ones as I've rearranged the storage bit a little since I recorded this! haha :) There's some Death Watch fellas, two REALLY old Plaguemarines (1993) and two REALLY old Khorne marines with the bloodletter heads. Trying to decide what warband schemes to do with three of them (one is being done in the same style of Death Guard as the ones I paint for the channel). :)

[@kgeo2686]

Oh 2 more questions. Do you feel it’s necessary to drill through the SIDES of the bolsters also? Already drilled the ends. I want to prime with rustoleum matte primer. Any thoughts?

[@BrushandBoltgun]

I do drill through the sides too, if the drill bit is the same size as the hole it's a lot easier to do than the end of the barrel. :) I've never used rustoleum matte primer. Citadel, Army Painter and Halfords primers I know about though! :)

[@transgirlaubrey]

Looks brilliant, and just the video i needed! The official site didnt have the list of paints needeed, so finding this was brillaint! Though a question from a beginner, what brushes di you use?

[@BrushandBoltgun]

Cheers Aubrey, very much appreciated! :) I mainly use a Citadel Medium Layer brush for the most part, with an Army Painter Wargamer: Character brush to do any detail work. They've always done a decent job for me, the MLB has a good point on it, and the APWC is fine enough to do the details. :)

[@mightbeapersonmaybe8379]

Awesome work! How do you get so little paint on your brushes? I can't get my paint out of the pots without getting quite a bit on my brush which makes detail work hard

[@BrushandBoltgun]

Cheers Mightbeaperson, very much appreciated. :) I use a wet palette (there's a video of the one I use on my channel - it's a chippy tub, kitchen towel and grease proof paper). I have an old brush I use to get paint from the pots and put onto the palette, then use the brush I need to get that paint from the palette - makes it a lot easier to get small amounts. :)

[@mightbeapersonmaybe8379]

@@BrushandBoltgun ohhhhh. That is a very good idea. Thank you. going to make painting my death jester a bit easier.

[@BrushandBoltgun]

It’s definitely worth it, saves your paint and stops them drying out too which is ace. Defo worth making one :)

[@craigjohnlennard3375]

Could you provide a full list of the GW paints used?

[@BrushandBoltgun]

Hey Craig, thanks for watching! :) There’s a full list of paints in the description beneath the video. I’ve done a few different videos on leather which may be of use depending on what you want his ‘coat’ to look like. :)

[@craigjohnlennard3375]

@@BrushandBoltgun awesome. I’ve updated my wish list with the colours I need to tackle my chaplain. Will follow your tutorial as best as I can. Only been painting 2 months

[@Lordbulldog365]

Would wraithbone and agrax earthshade work where you used rakhar flesh and sepia?

[@BrushandBoltgun]

Hey Robert, thanks for watching! :) I'd think so, may be worth testing it on a small area or a spare part to see how it looks though just in case it's not what you're after. :)

[@Elporrita69]

I'm started this miniature days ago but I don't have time for finish yet.

[@Elporrita69]

Great job 👍

[@BrushandBoltgun]

Cheers Elporrita68, very much appreciated! :) It's such a great miniature, I really enjoyed painting it! :)

[@kgeo2686]

Do you paint mostly every model in Indomitus fully assembled? Like helmet and arms? I see the need for this to do legs in sub assembly. But what about the assault intercessors?

[@BrushandBoltgun]

Hey K Geo111, thanks for watching! :) I’ve built all the Indomitus ones before painting them to get them out of the way and into the drawer. All of them are assembled pre paint for me now. :)

[@kgeo2686]

@@BrushandBoltgun So good to hear! Your models look incredible! So that’s what I’m gonna do then :) I don’t want to wait on assembly. I’ll be following all your videos. Thanks for the response. Keep up the great work 👍

[@davelarkin2185]

Death guard when, Rob?

[@BrushandBoltgun]

Always! You can't get rid of the Nurgles once you have them! See Smallpox for details. :)
