LEANDROS!!

[@Boosttackle]

At first I called him that as a joke, never expected to be proven right T_T

[@Justin-pq2sm]

You are my favorite KZbinr for painting and helped me and my brother so much. Thanks so much I'll be using this some time

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

Thank you so much :D I'm really glad you've been enjoying the content. keep painting and practicing

[@SergeyMikhaylov-eh9zi]

I love your videos! Your voice and the music you choose make them so calming and enjoyable to watch. Your Warhammer painting techniques are inspiring and really help me improve my own skills. Keep up the amazing work!

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

thank you, I'm glad your enjoying then content and I hope you continue to keep painting and practicing :D

[@kgeo2686]

You are a seriously good teacher. I think what makes the paint process overwhelming to a beginner, is the huge number of techniques and where they fit in the process. I would love a painting outline / flowchart listing all the techniques and when they can be used in the process.

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

Thank you very much. I do think alot about the order in which things are done. So when ever you watch a tutorial of mine thats kind of the order to do things. base colours, shades and definition, highlights and then all the fun stuff

[@deltacharlie1760]

Never stop doing these tutorials. Your style is great for learning and lends itself to iteration while still looking cohesive across an army.

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

I love making these tutorials so I'll not be stopping anytime soon :P

[@Samm801]

Just got this guy. You give me the confidence to paint my models the way I want to. Thanks so much for the motivation and inspiration!

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

amazing, that makes me super happy :D I'm glad its helped

[@Xero_Kaiser]

Perfect timing. Seeing that glorious Chaplain armor in Space Marine 2 had me wanting to get a model.

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

DO IT

[@Murdamouf]

The only painting videos I can listen to and comprehend by ear. Outside of Orkz, I got Raven Guard and Sisters to do. This man is the Best at what he does and speaks extremely clear at a good speed

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

Thank you, thats very kind of you to say, it means a lot :D good luck on all your projects

[@Murdamouf]

@@TableTopReadyKZbin You really do man, I appreciate it. Best comprehensive videos of all mini painting.

[@thatbloodyrisk]

Your tutorials have helped me so much when it came to beginning paintings my first space marines and my soon-to-be sister of battle army. Would you consider making a tutorial on canoness Veridyan some day?

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

Thank you. I'm glad they've helped. I do have plans to paint that miniature, but I wanted to do it as part as a retro style series. I have done Abaddon Already like the 2nd edition cover art and there are plans for her. It just wasn't a popular video but I may bring that series back next year

[@Dave-jh7rj]

Came to watch you paint a cloak. Something I’ve been struggling with on my aeldari rangers, going for a snow cloak. But may be able to use stippling on the farseer. Good work again dude 🙌

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

interesting about the snow cloak. that would be cool :) good luck with it

[@averagesocialist342]

hi, im 14 and i jst want to say thank you so much, i really have rough time at school and warhmmer is my unwind and when my painting doesn't go so well you give me motivation to try again,

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

Warhammer has been a great constent in my life as well. keep working hard

[@Stinkybumm-32]

Michael you are probably the first channel i would recommend to ANYONE doing Warhammer your video are simple and easy to follow thats is what makes them so good Thanks for making these videos

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

I really apreciate that thank you, it means a lot.

[@AngryAndyReviews]

Recently got into the hobby. Have to give credit to your videos for your guidance and advice throughout on style, paints and methods. Really great stuff all the time.

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

Thank you, I'm really glad your enjoying the content :)

[@topdogjr0068]

Amazing work, that leather looks awesome beyond belief!

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

Thank you :)

[@AelousFox]

Awesome! And very timely too, since I've been figuring out how to paint my Black Templar chaplain

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

nice. I hope you enjoy painting him :)

[@thewolfpack7718]

You did my request! Thank you so much. I have been meaning to get a Chaplin in my salamanders done. Ive been holding out for this.

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

you have to paint it now :D

[@jameswood240]

You absolute legend Michael. I've asked about this model so many times lol. Thank you 🤜🏻🤛🏻

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

its been on the list for a long time :P

[@jakubm1254]

Excellent techniques! I'm going to use some of them to paint my Terminator-Chaplain! This tutorial is so good that Leandros seeks heresy here!

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

that chaplain is a nive model, I hope you enjoy painting it :)

[@lukeskywalker828]

Perfect timing, just finished my 6 flame throwers dudes from starter set and went and bought one of these bros to attempt next

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

My next tutorial is actaully the Infernus Marines :P so maybe thats bad timing haha

[@fearlessretaliator4997]

Right in time to paint my Asmodai , im sure i can use a lot of the techniques you use on my mini.

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

I'm sure you will :) good luck

[@CharlieFultonSC]

Another amazing video sir, thank YOU so much.

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

I'm glad you liked it :)

Your a Legend. thank you

[@fearlessretaliator4997]

Btw ive never seen a blue coat for a mostly black armor, very interesting

[@rakdos825]

Awesome video, as always :) It helps me a lot because my aim is to achieve box art style of my minies. One thing that I dont understand though is why you do not drill the barrels and why you dont finish the base before final reveal. Its just a tiny fracture of work you alredy put into your project and it will just move it to higher level. It feels unfinished somehow (but the paint job is superb) Thank you and keep up the great job !

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

thank you, drilling barrels and doing the bases is a personal choice. I don't personally drill barrels so I wouldn't want to do them in the video and create the expectation that it needs to be done. It doesn't add or take away from what I show. For the bases its purely down to time. After spending a week painting I don't really want to deal with the base. Everyone does the base however they want as well and I want to make the focus about the miniature and not the base. If I was using them for a game I would do the base, but as most of the time I do miniatures for tutorials only I leave blank

[@Powaup]

This is crazy detail!

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

Thank you :D glad you think so

[@SigismundSonOfDorn]

Great video, always a fan of chaplains. Have you done any videos on sword guard brethren?

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

thank you, I havn;t done sword brethren but maybe in the future as I do like the models

[@danieljakus6939]

Hi Michael, awesome job on this as always! :) Quick question: what varnish you use to seal the models and protect the paint job ? Any good recommendations? Thank you!

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

hello, I'm glad you liked the video. I don't use varnish. now the miniatures are plastic its all very durable to be honest. If you do use varnish it can effect the colours and ruin your hard work spent painting

[@Dracobyte]

Nice tutorial as always!

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

thank you so much :)

[@McDougz]

Another great tutorial

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

Thank you

[@minibang2543]

No doubt I’m gonna be following this tutorial when I get my hands on a chaplain. Is there any chance you will do an Acolyte hybrid tutorial soon?

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

I would love to do some Hybrids, I did plan to but then no one watched my last cultist video :( I probably will then when I'm in the mood to paint some

[@minibang2543]

Ok sounds good! Keep up the good work dude!

[@harrymitchell7510]

For the first part I can see its primed in black. Could you skip this potentially by starting off with black undercoat spray paint citadel make potentially or do you recommend going in with the macragge blue primer, then going in with the black

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

you can use what ever undercoat you want to be honest, its just what I had from painting ultramarines. I would alwasy do a base colour first though, try not to work from your undercoat even if its the right colour

[@andrewlopezmp3]

Your videos are very good. From a branding perspective though it feels off to be called tabletop ready when your tutorials are so high end with sub assembly and several edge highlights

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

Thank you. TableTopReady is just a catchy name I thoght related well to painting and is often searched. I wasn't this good at painting either when I first started the channel :P I got better

[@andrewlopezmp3]

@@TableTopReadyKZbin I get you! and if you're happy with how things are going that's great! I just think your channel might really blow up if you put out some content that more directly aligns with "tabletop ready" standard.

[@danielthelenius4611]

Would it be okay to use a black primer? Amazing video btw

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

ofcourse, use what ever undercoat you want :) and thank you

[@tigozijlmans4581]

Great video! One question: I see you using Microset. I also have Microsol. What is the difference? And why do you only use Microset?

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

The Micro sol is a stronger solution that micro set, although you can use both , I wouldn't want to risk the paint as it can be ruined. Micro set is enough for these smaller transfers

[@SensitiveVirmin1234]

OMG I needed this two weeks ago I just Finished one. I like my guy but i don't think his coat is dark enough for my taste.

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

you can always go back and change things if you want to. its never too late :D

[@remix_0699]

What shade of grey should be used for carcharodons' armor?

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

All of them :)

[@nachtmacher6237]

😊😊😊 thank you ❤

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

:D

[@macgregorhall1076]

Hi, ive just gotten back into painting with some Dark Angels and was wonder about the metal paint. The box says on the back that Retributor Armour is needed but when i have used it looks notably darked and more redish then in the art where it appears more pale. Is it supposed to look that way or am I seeing things or is there something I'm supposed to do with the paint? and with the wraith bone used for the skull aquilla the paint never seems to go down smoothly, not really sure what i was doing wrong but if you or anyone has advice id love to hear it. Thanks.

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

The paints on the box are just suggestions and recomended paints. what you see on the box as had a lot of shades and highlights which can change how the colour from the pot looks. you have to consider lighting and digital corrections as well. I do have a very recent dark angel tutorial if you wanted to go check that out and I would watch my painting your first miniatures video as well to give you a good idea of what painting miniatures is like :D

[@Grey-Knight-5]

Any chance you might do Chaplin in terminator armour?

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

probably not, it would add anything new. you can use everything I show in this tutorial to paint the terminator chaplain as well :)

[@justinbraungardt7168]

Very impressive. But, i used the Primal Hounds from Greytide studio to make my own Wolf Priest.

[@diyfireking]

Great video 😉😉

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

Thank you :)

[@WilliamChoochootrain]

Very nice!

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

thank you

[@列班扫码]

cooool！~Can you make a tutorial for Scout Squad in ultra marine colors?🥺

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

maybe, theres lots of Marine tutorials I still need to do and scouts are on the list, don't worry :P

[@kgeo2686]

Wait, are you mixing 2 different paints for the glaze?

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

I'm not mixing any colours. I show on the screen the glazes I use :)

[@kgeo2686]

⁠@@TableTopReadyKZbinThanks for the reply! The symbol on screen just looks like 2 paints.. So Baneblade Brown at 13:00… that picture is just showing that it’s a glaze?

[@_waaghlord8803]

could you paint norn emissary?! please~

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

yes, but its going to be sometime next year when I have the courage to

[@꽁치-l8x]

the codex astartes does not support this action

[@lepszykomentator]

If your Chaplain is suposed to be Leandros, remember to solo charge him against Norn Queen or Typhus. Great work as usual🤩 Gonna buy myself a one

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

I've not played the game yet :P

[@Khairul_pro]

The codex doesn't support this action

[@philipgodsworth4764]

The Chaplain who did nothing wrong.

[@RedJesseGaming]

Painting aside, leandros has done damage to this model

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

I didn't know. I've not played the game yet :P
