The new Ghazghkull model is phenomenal - and it was a great experience getting to paint one! Which is you favourite 40K hero model?

[@LivingThing28]

Me

[@aurelienmena4390]

I would go for Arhiman I just love his new model

[@benrichardson5662]

Strictly 40k wise my favorite is Ghazghkull. His model is so fabulously brutal. But if you include Horus Heresy, my absolute favorite is Rogal Dorn. That model oozes authority and defiance, which is appropriate as his Wall Name was Defiance.

[@ThePaintingCoach]

It's a cool model - the 30K version of him is great too!

[@ThePaintingCoach]

I love the Dorn model!

[@danielhammer619]

This Ghazghkull model is hands down the best model games workshop has ever made, and you have painted him like an absolute god. mere mortals can only dream of obtaining your painting skills.

[@ThePaintingCoach]

Haha thanks Daniel - I appreciate the kind words! Hopefully this video makes it straight forward for anyone to get great results!

[@danielhammer619]

@@ThePaintingCoach thing is, i started collecting warhammer 40k like 2 months ago and i did actually get my hands on the ork part of Prophecy of the wolf. As we speak im still painting a whole bunch of boys. after that ill paint the nobs, then the Meganobs, then makari, and THEN im gonna paint Ghazkhull thraka. Im just afraid ill screw up my painting so he doesnt look as epic as hes meant to. i will probably try to follow your video.

I love the model! I'm an incredibly inexperienced painter, so I was wondering if there would be any chance of you covering the basic bloodletter detachment. It's an incredibly easy job, I just feel like a fish out of water trying to keep the details without making them flat colours.

[@ThePaintingCoach]

Thanks for the comment! I haven't got any blood letters handy - off the top of my head I'd probably prime with grey seer and use blood angels red contrast all over them. Then I'd pick out some raised areas with some wild rider red - that should give you 3 distinct tones on the skin Hope that helps!

Hey I'm new to the hobby and was just wondering the pros and cons of contrast paint as I was watching ur death guard video and was wondering which one is better for painting in general and which looks better

[@ThePaintingCoach]

Hi Robert - thanks for the comment! In general I think traditional paints give a bettef result, although contrast are also great in the right context! Since their release I think I use them on every tutorial I do in some form or other That said you can get great results with contrast - the Death Guard is a goof example, as is my ork tutorial - I'd say contrast is best on organic items such as flesh, or cloth. Contrast isn't great on Spqce Marines or vehicles. As for which one looks best, that's entirely up to you ajd your opinion! I hope this has helped - feel free to ask any Q's - welcome to the hobby!

My Darkreaper highlight seems to have come out much lighter, any suggestions? My thought process is I probably didn't shake the pot enough or perhaps I need to pair it down slightly with a touch of black or could I get away with a dark wash over it to tone it down perhaps.

[@ThePaintingCoach]

Yeah you can probably tone it down with a dark wash - i'd finish the highlight first though with the other colours and knock it all back together for consistency - if you have black templar contrast thin that a bit and use it - or really thin some abaddon black (make sure you don't have too much on your brush). Use nuln oil as a last resort as it might look patchy

[@BBolloBB]

What base coat did you use for the horns before applying the Agrax shade

[@ThePaintingCoach]

Good question - I have a feeling it may have been wraithbone, but it's been a while!

[@terrydactyl2077]

So I bought a few of the Vellejo metal colours. I don’t own an airbrush. Would it be ok to still spray can prime black and then just brush another base coat on all the metal parts with a large brush instead of Leadbelcher spray can? Or would a spray of the Leadbelcher can on the metal parts be better than the black even tho I’ll paint over with the Velho metal? I have a bit of Leadbelcher spray left. Been wondering if I still need to use it anymore or just stick to black from now on.

[@ThePaintingCoach]

I'd use metal color over the black - I paint all my metal bases using dark aluminium and a brush

[@terrydactyl2077]

@@ThePaintingCoach you do that after the black primer? Would you say then after priming black that I brush the main metal that I want to use for the metal parts or choose a darker metal from my selection? I managed to get 8 different metals and only one of those is copper. Rest is just varieties of ‘silver’ metals in that vellejo metal color range.

Depends if you want the building rubble to contrast? If you do you could go for a dark green maybe?

[@davestarshak1440]

No, I wanna do a red, like mars on the base, I can send you a pic or video

[@ThePaintingCoach]

Ah i got you - then you wanna use some of the more muted reds, like wazdakka red, agrax wash then maybe a dry brush of squig orange

[@kazkorianor]

Yeah super easy xD for sure ..em not relay but ok . Nice work non the less

Thanks for the comment! I hope I've broken it down to be as straight forward as possible - feel free to ask any questions!

Hi Tyler thanks for the comment! I did the loin cloth the same as the claw housing - mephiston base, shade nuln oil, put mephiston back then highlight evil sunz

@ThePaintingCoach How did you get under his arms to paint his skin-tone?

[@ThePaintingCoach]

Carefully with a small brush and by moving the model upside down in some cases

[@jphang2950]

@@ThePaintingCoach you managed to reach his shoulders too?!

[@ThePaintingCoach]

It was a long time ago 🤣 generally if you can see it, you can paint it - even if it means doing that first and painting over any spillages

If you haven't built it yet, leave the arms off and glue them on after painting is complete
