This red looks nice and bright compare to some of the newer tutorials for blood angels. It’s a nice blend of the newer darker red and the old bright red of the blood angels

If I was to spray my miniature white for a base and then use baal red for the first layer. I think it would look so good. Really helpful video.

[@PalmerDemetrius]

@@ThePaintingCoach no problem. Love your videos. I used Black Legion as a base over white scar for power armour just curious if you would put a wash or drybrush it to give it some depth and make it a bit interesting. I do love how black it is though.

Hello can you do a vid for speed painting on the green contrast coloris for exemple dark angel please.thanks.

[@deltacharlie1760]

Great tutorial. I’m new to 40k and will be following this guide as soon as my modeling tools arrive. What color should I use for close support troops? There’s too many shades of yellow for me to choose.

[@ThePaintingCoach]

Imperial Fist yellow if you are doing contrast method, but don't spray black underneath

[@JanBaucke]

For me as a Blood Angels player this is a brilliant 9.5 out of 10! You lost half a point for the red helmet w/o a skull or drop of blood on its forehead to make it a Intercessor Sergeant. So this is a Blood Angel Assault Intercessor, a Close Support and that role has yellow helmets. To me it is somewhat harder to paint the helmets to the right Battlefield role (red = Battleline, yellow = Close Support, blue = Fire Support and gold for Veteran & Command like Lt. & Cpt.) than just paint all the minis in red.

[@ThePaintingCoach]

Glad you liked it - easy enough to leave helmets off and paint them with imperial fists yellow if you want an easy yellow helmet

[@SPAMsammiches]

Man, I need to work on my touch with the spray-priming. I found Baal red WAY too opaque for my janky priming. I got very little shading. I think I just went too heavy with the light. I also did a 3-layer prime with black, grey and white, so maybe that is too much for Baal red? Yours looks super. Fortunately, I am just getting back into painting and don't much care if some of my individual units come out janky. Great video! THX! :)

[@ThePaintingCoach]

Glad you liked it - yeah I think you need less of a transition with the Baal Red so whote over black is fine

[@KuPaoChicken]

Very nice. I'm going to use this the ball red and then I'm going to dry brush with the wild rider red and then if there's too much I'll use the Baal Red again. Oh it's "DEE-cals" fyi

[@ThePaintingCoach]

Cheers - straight out of the pot 👍🏻

[@AdamRowan-Lovell]

I have used the Baal red on wraithbone white and it looks really great and really pleased with it. I have begun painting black legion on the soft parts of the armour, etc, but got a bit of it on the armour itself. How do I correct that? I have tried covering it with baal red contrast paint, but it doesn't cover it. I have used Mephiston Red base paint to cover , but it looks blotchy as it's not the same colour. Any help with this would be very appreciated.

[@ThePaintingCoach]

You can either repaint just that panel with corax white then apply baal red, or if it isn't a huge area, cover it with a highlight colour like wild rider red

[@jdbgamer9886]

Might be a dumb question but do toy use contrast paint straight our of the pot or do you thin it down with water?

[@ThePaintingCoach]

Straight out of the pot - you can thin it with contrast medium to make some glazes

[@LordBurnoutsf6]

First of great video! I've been looking into getting this paint myself for BA but your video is the only one so far where the Red has looked "proper" as other videos I have looked at later they have all looked almost pink-ish in comparison to yours, is it because of your thick amount of paint or lighting you reckon? I want to attain your color but i am afraid i am going to be left with something looking more pink as a result 😅

[@ThePaintingCoach]

It's probably because I have slapped it on near from the pot - it's a really nice red over the zenithal. I can confirm that in person the red is the same as you see here

How does the Baal red flow? I find that when I paint terminators I get weird covering on top of the model. Does this do the same? And how would this work with a dreadnought?

[@ThePaintingCoach]

It flows really nicely for me - I did use it on a Howling Griffon terminator recently and found in some areas I needed a second coat. A bit more tricky on a dreadnought - panel at a time and a big brush to minimise the amount of brush marks

@@ThePaintingCoach thank you!!! I'll give this a try and see how it does!!

[@jeffthuot5631]

What’s the difference in primer Colors ? Why use gray or black over red for blood angels ? Real newbie question here. I’m confused

[@ThePaintingCoach]

For this technique you need to use a light primer for the colour to show up vibrantly. In this case I put white over black, which gave me a nice transition. When adding the contrast paint over the top, you get a nice rich red colour and also keep those transitions underneath giving you shadows and highlights. If you wanted to prime the miniature red for example, you absolutely can do this - you would need to use a different kind of paint to build up colours - contrast paint wouldn't work so you would need to use layer paints - feel free to ask any more questions

[@Bobby3OOO]

When should we use baal red over blood angels red contrast? (I think I bought the wrong thing tonight!)

[@ThePaintingCoach]

Blood angels red is darker and doesn't give as good one coat coverage as Baal Red - so use it for a darker overall effect

[@Bobby3OOO]

@@ThePaintingCoach You answered! I love you!!

[@ThePaintingCoach]

I try to answer as many comments as I can

[@Butsy1998]

Did you shade the red? I can’t seem to find the part where you did?

[@ThePaintingCoach]

No the main zenithal prime gives the shading. If you mean the joints then yes I used some nuln oil for that - that's in there

[@slippee.6154]

I know this is an old video but what do you do to get your contrast to not appear streaky? Every time I use contrasts they turn out streaky.

[@ThePaintingCoach]

Depends on the contrast you use - the Baal Red here has a very strong pigment so covers well in one coat - for others you need to use a bigger brush than normal, and keep an eye on the paint as it dries - check out Juan Hidalgo for a contrast expert 👍🏻

[@slippee.6154]

@@ThePaintingCoach thank you so much! You're a real one :)

[@TabletopGameBreaks]

Looks great! Is blood angle contrast thinner than Baal red? Similar to black legion and black templars?

[@ThePaintingCoach]

Hmm no it's darker, and I think Baal ared is single pigment so coverage is much better. The finish is a lot better in Baal Red too

[@jasonscottsego7311]

Sorry for the daft question, can someone explain the technique at the start with the spray cans

[@ThePaintingCoach]

No problem - basically you spray the model black, and then from above/45 degrees you spray white - this gives you a gradient to paint over, which gives you automatic highlights and shadows - the technique is called zenithal priming

[@jasonscottsego7311]

@@ThePaintingCoach do you move the can/model with the white? I didn't think you'd get that kind of coverage from one direction and angle. Thanks, love the work

[@ThePaintingCoach]

Just build up the coverage in passes - you will have to alter the angle of the can but you are essentially painting everything but the underneath - and want the uppernost layers with the msot white coverage

@@ThePaintingCoach I’d like to do it with baal red because it’s the only red that I like. Keep seeing people say contrast paint(with a brush) aren’t good for vehicles

[@ThePaintingCoach]

The Baal Red used a single pigment, so it covers really well. Generally contrast paint over large flat panels performs poorly because of how it pools. Generally though the single pigment contrasta are pretty good. You could test it on a cardboard box - spray it with some primer and see how it applies over the surface
