Dude, this may be one of your older videos, but I finally got a Demon Prince and this was one heck of a tutorial!! Thank you so much! Mine may not look as good as yours, but he turned out A LOT better then I thought he would. Time to finish up the base and give him a final look before he goes up on display. Next up, is the sorcerer in terminator armor.

[@ThePaintingCoach]

Good stuff! Glad the video helped

[@WHTactics]

I'd of loved to see you paint the wings in this style, I'm going for the same look but will need to tackle the wings as well

[@ThePaintingCoach]

I'm working on a bonus video where I do the wings, but not sure when I will release it

[@WHTactics]

@@ThePaintingCoach My wings are already base-coated. HELP! QUICK! XD My only "concern" is how to paint the areas inbetween the actual bone-structure of the wings (The fleshy skin bits). Whilst maintaining the skin colour you've achieved.

[@ThePaintingCoach]

Do it exactly the same way as the flesh - then re paint the spines black and go from there (assuming you have black spines)

[@davidstone-haigh4880]

Soon as this lad comes out on his own, he's for me.

[@ThePaintingCoach]

Awesome 👍🏻

[@robertbeatty1091]

EBay ;-)

[@awesomeboy1151]

I'm using this turtorial to paint my Daemon prince but with a slight alteration. Instead of Black Legion armor, I'm painting Word Bearer armor.

[@Musafrabad101]

been sitting watching your vids for a few hours and youve to me excited to start painting for the first time! awesone work, really well explained and you make it look so easy.

[@ThePaintingCoach]

Thanks - I appreciate it!

[@treytison1444]

Guy is painting at 100mph and it still looks good

[@OllieWhittall]

Looking forwards to using this on my Daemon Prince, although I wish you'd done the AoS version as I'd love to have seen how you did the wings!

[@ThePaintingCoach]

Hope it helps - I'm going to paint the wings as a patreon request video - that said I could also do a #shorts verson as well

[@soundgarden8885]

Woah boy what a result! Nice work as always. Would you consider investing in a better mic? Or dampening stuff? Its like youre in church, preaching Warhammer goodness. Wich isnt a bad thing now i think about it, err you get the point. Keep this content coming!!

[@ThePaintingCoach]

Cheers! I'm afraid my hobby area isn't ideal from a sound dampening point of view! If you have any advice or helpful links then I would be grateful!

[@maxroberts90]

Another great video! Will definitely try the skin recipe, what make up brushes do you use? I tried a couple of different types from Uk pharmacies but they are quite hard and don’t work for dry brushing

[@ThePaintingCoach]

Thanks - honestly I just bought a cheap pack off amazon - has maybe 10 - 15 different brushes in it

[@BeanisBags]

This was such a simplistic video and it's really encouraged me to go for a Demon Prince. I've just picked the hobby back up and have enjoyed painting some chaos raptors, now I want something bigger, I think this model and colour scheme is perfect. Great video!

[@ThePaintingCoach]

Thanks! Welcome back to the hobby! Glad you enjoyed the video :)

[@BeanisBags]

@@ThePaintingCoach Thanks! Just a quick question though, what brand is the bold titanium white from? Do you have a link to this paint?

[@ThePaintingCoach]

It's Pro Acryl - Monument Hobbies - are you in the UK?

[@BeanisBags]

@@ThePaintingCoach No Australia unfortunately - there seems to only be one store that stocks it. Could I use another white paint to get this effect?

[@ThePaintingCoach]

Yeah any white paint really - the pro acryl coverage is great, but something like a white ink from liquitex would also work great - although give it 24 hours to dry efore putting contrast ober it. A heavy body artists acrylic titanium white would also work

[@Exochosen]

I tried to follow your video, but damn I suck at washes. The creases are almost black from wash. Don't know if I can do it over :(

[@ThePaintingCoach]

Course you can paint over with the base colour! Try the drybrush to gently cover the edges and build up a smooth blend

[@ajmetal2849]

How would you paint wings if this was a winged daemon prince? What colors would you use for the wing spines vs the membranes?

[@ThePaintingCoach]

I'll have a video out on that over xmas - for the membranes at least!

[@ThijsSchrijnemakers]

Great video as always! I'll be using the flesh steps on a couple of the deamon engines I've got to paint yet

[@ThePaintingCoach]

Cool!

[@deepfryergaming5690]

I’ve been using this tutorial for months now to paint Daemon skin for my other models, absolutely love the colour. But now it’s finally time to use the whole thing and paint my Prince of Darkness. Have a question though: if you were painting the wings would you use the screamer pink on the “bone-y” bits and keep the membrane black like you did for your Khorne Daemon Prince?

[@ThePaintingCoach]

You can do - check out my angron tutorial for how I did more of a two-tone effect on this area - you cam just swap the colours around/use different ones if you want

[@deepfryergaming5690]

@@ThePaintingCoach will do!!

[@grazianoc.80]

Spettacolare il nuovo Principe demone

[@woahhbro2906]

I JUST finished painting an OLD Daemon Prince...lol

[@ThePaintingCoach]

Haha another great kit with loads of options!

[@jasonbenson9021]

I'm doing a khorne version of this with the bearded face using the same methods shown but if I were to add a translucent red over the skin would it add a more scorched look?

[@ThePaintingCoach]

Hmm possibly 🤔 you could try stippling something like khorne red and black too. I think the flesh here is too pinky for what you want - check my shorts videos - I've done a traditional red khorne skintone, which you can scorch up with dark browns and blacks

[@arthurloi6007]

Perfect video. I rechearched a color to my AoS Demon Prince. I juste find the perfect color to the wings. I see your last video but I can't decide.

[@kerviuskuroshiba5120]

I am so glad to be subscribed to your channel! I am a student learning so much from these quick and straight to the point lessons. I am curious, when it comes to gold, I have noticed a lot of fellow hobbyists use Liberator Gold as the highlight to Ret.Armor. I personally have Auric Armour Gold and wondering if I should go out and buy Liberator Gold or stick with what I have? Is Liberator Gold > Auric Armour Gold?

[@ThePaintingCoach]

Thanks! I personally think Liberator Gold is a much better paint in both colour and consistency. I have never had a good pot of auric armour gold

[@danieldavies5864]

Hey amazing work. i'm following your steps one by one and so happy with it atm. but quick question the contrast paints on the sword. are u putting them on when they are still wet and then mixing them togeher ??

[@ThePaintingCoach]

Glad it is working! Yes I am working them while they are wet - practice on some spare parts first if you aren't sure 👍🏻

[@danieldavies5864]

legend thank you

[@mightbeapersonmaybe8379]

I'm getting one of these guys when he comes out on his own and kitbashing a load of mechanical parts onto him for my iron warriors

[@liamrossnoble]

What is the recipe for the sword handle? Its really nice

[@beatboxingchicken1126]

Hey Im just starting to get into 40k and I was wondering how you would color a possessed marines arms and exposed skin.

[@ThePaintingCoach]

Welcome to the hobby! Check out my video on fabius bile for a couple of different flesh variations, as well as my shorts feed where I have a few

[@beatboxingchicken1126]

@@ThePaintingCoach Thank you! I like the pale look of the vampire skin I'm going to use it with magos purple around the tense areas of the arms to see if it gives it that irritated look.

[@christopherm6511]

This looks amazing, I’m thinking of painting one myself but I’m not sure if the skin colour would go with Wordbearers. Are there any other colour schemes you could recommend for the skin?

[@ThePaintingCoach]

Thanks! If you are sticking with black armour you could go with red - I have a tutorial on that - I also uave a tutorial on wing membranes you could adapt 👍🏻

[@christopherm6511]

[@ThePaintingCoach]

Just follow the steps and don't rush - most of all enjoy the learning process. Welcome to the hobby :)

[@clood0814]

@@ThePaintingCoach will do. Do you think i could do the screamer pink step with a contrast color on top of a grey zenithal?

[@ThePaintingCoach]

You could try it - Volupous Pink would be my best estimate!

[@bruhlee700]

this one right here inquisitor! The best how to Paint a Demon Prince video!

[@Abdul-Alhazred]

Finally, I see you are using Vallejo Metal Color🤣

[@ThePaintingCoach]

Yes haha

[@RustyMisterTwo]

You should show the skin more when drybrushing with the first purple/pink colors. You show the backpack quite a lot but not the front of the mini. If you drybrush the skin like the backpack it will show up way pinker than what you have in your video. The first good look at the front, face and skin is when you start painting the armor.

[@ThePaintingCoach]

Thanks for the feedback 👍🏻

[@ajmetal2849]

What did you use for the base?

[@ThePaintingCoach]

Just agrellwn badlands, washed with agrax ajd drybrushed karak stone. The lava and skulls are done the same as the sword and the stone is just mechanicus grey, agrax wash and just adding more white into the grey to highlight

[@bagmuk6]

Bloody marvellous 😉

[@larsgroenhuijzen]

Love the flash gitz yellow XD. Really amazingly done again! Was hoping for an AoS version with wings. As that is how I want to do mine and your video would be a very good source for inspiration. I like the skin colour of your version. What would you recommand for the membrane of the wings when going with your skin version?

[@ThePaintingCoach]

Thanks Lars - yeah I messed up oops! I'll try and do a wing as a patreon version for you!

[@larsgroenhuijzen]

@@ThePaintingCoach oewww looking forward to it =D.

[@scoobydruid]

Absolutely fantastic! Very clear and I can’t wait to paint mine when I get the box next week. What is a good substitute for Liberator Gold? Were none of the GW Contrast Purples useful here?

[@ThePaintingCoach]

Cheers! You could mix a little bright silver in with retributor. Pro Acryl do a white gold I think that would work. I considered using volupous pink as the base but thought I'd get more variation this way

[@scoobydruid]

@@ThePaintingCoach Thanks Coach! One more thing -- you said primer was Mech Std Grey but it looks a lot lighter. Is that just from the lighting?

Yes probably 👍🏻
