This tutorial is so great. It's very clear, well organized, well explained, and also it's also very nice to give so many details and cover so many parts of the miniature in that tutorial. Many Grey Knights tutorials only focus on the armour ! I really enjoyed watching it !

[@TableTopReadyYoutube]

Exactly my goal for my tutorials. Moving forward I want to make in depth guides to painting factions that covers as much as I can do. Including shorts which you’ll see coming out over the next couple of weeks. 😃 thanks for commenting

I was really stressing and putting off painting my knights cause I want them to look perfect. Can't believe how simple it is to make it look this good! I'm really blown away. Thanks for the awesome Video ❤!

these Grey knights were a lot of fun to do and pretty straight forward to be fair. I'm tempted to do an army of them

[@jakubm1254]

I's amazing how detailed you are when finishing details, you painted even that little pins on their flamers! But final effect is breathtaking!

[@TableTopReadyYoutube]

its the small details that make the difference and ad character. its good to have things for contrast

[@joer4399]

Another awesome tutorial, Michael! I recently got back in to the hobby, and your videos are the best I have found on teaching the techniques needed to go from complete beginner to painting some awesome looking models. Clear explanations, focus on the techniques which make the most impact, and nice length videos (not too long). You're doing an awesome job bud, keep it up!

[@TableTopReadyYoutube]

Thank you very much. I love making these tutorials and I learn a lot myself doing them so win win. It’s also nice to hear how they help other people 😁

Another fantastic video. I really enjoy how you make such great painting techniques so achievable to novice painters like me.

[@TableTopReadyYoutube]

We’re all novices really. Most videos I’m painting these miniatures for the first time. As long as you know the techniques and basics that I talk about in every video then you can paint anything. Just requires practice 🖖🏻

[@winowmak3r]

Pretty sure you're the reason why I've stuck with it this time around. Even if I don't play Grey Knights your videos always have something I can use for my own army. +1, top notch stuff again, as usual.

The great thing about your videos is that you can apply a lot of the techniques you show us to other miniatures and chapters like the leather pouches, or the tints.

Exactly the approach I like to take with my tutorials. I like to teach how to paint in general, it just so happens to be a certain faction for any given video. 😃

Great tutorial, it answered a lot of questions I had about what colors to use with a great approach for application.

[@TableTopReadyYoutube]

Thank you. I’m glad you found this tutorial useful 😁 hopefully you can get some painted now 💪🏻

[@Lesardah]

I've watched over 20 videos of Grey Knights in the last two weeks, and yours are by far the best - also and most artistic / original, like you have a vision for their look and not just a paint-by-number. I prefer it to the box art, even. They resemble the Grey Knights from Chaos Gate - Demonhunters. The beautiful blue highlighting you've done is sends these guys into orbit. I'm going to try and adapt your method to Speedpaints with an airbrush, but doing detail with brush. I've said it in a previous comment, but these really are amazing. Subbed, and thank you for making this video. It can't be easy to paint under a camera!

[@TableTopReadyYoutube]

Thank you. your very kind. this is one of my favourites on the channel. they turned great and I'm still very tempted to paint an army, but I want to see a new range first :D

[@mirage809]

Glazing the pattern on a blade is such an awesome technique and one with a surprising amount of applications. Once you get comfortable with glazing you can start applying that technique to volumetric highlights and once you got that down stuff like non metallic metal becomes something attainable.

[@TableTopReadyYoutube]

Absolutely. You should see more uses for glazing in future tutorials 😁

Then there's me who glued them together 100% already and thought the grey knights steel was meant as the main base colour so they look like sloppy blue abominations. Love it

[@TableTopReadyYoutube]

Your not the only one. Don’t worry about having fully built them. To be honest they pretty easier to paint. As well you can use iron hands steel and layer up from the grey knights steel. Kind of doing it in reverse

[@FlyingKlutchKick]

It is. It’s GK steel then the whole thing gets washed I’m drakenhof. This guy is doing it weird

[@ryannewell8335]

Amazing tutorial, amazing video! I never comment on videos, holy shit you deserve it. My brother gave me his Grey Knights he didn’t want and was looking at tutorials and paint schemes. What are those things you pin your models to?! You make it look so much easier by pinning each section to those things. Please let me know!

[@kyleduquesnay1429]

Honestly, probably not. I don’t think there is much call for it. If I were to paint orange armour. I would probably start with troll slayer orange. Recess shade with wild rider red. Mix troll and fire dragon for chunky highlight. Fire dragon for edge highlight and then ungor flesh for a spot highlight

[@flu1dz]

This is probably a dumb question, however I am not a big fan of Citadel paints (their price is very high, at least here in the USA) and am planning on using "The Army Painter" paints. That being said, I have yet to see a good comparison of what TAP paints are considered Citadel equivalents (which TAP blue/green/red etc is equal to Citadel-wise). I love your tutorials and your minis always look BEAUTIFUL.. and I want to make sure Im not using the wrong shades. I understand fully that TAP and Citadel colors will vary because they arent recreations of those colors, however I do know that they do have similar shades that are used for similar areas of the mini. (For instance, ork flesh vs orc skin are slightly different, but used for the same thing). Not all names are that easily related, though, for all the different colors. Do you know if there is a guide somewhere that compares the like colors for these two specific companies? Because sometimes they're not that obvious when in the container versus on the mini or by name.

[@TableTopReadyYoutube]

What your after is called a conversion chart. You can just google it and you’ll find what your after. Army painter will probably have one themselves. I’m a huge fan of the Vallejo range myself. They well priced, a great variety of colours and products including a model colours range that is made to match the citadel colours. Army painter is hit and miss for me. But make sure to do your research. Maybe get a couple of paints first to try them out before you commit to an entire range

[@flu1dz]

@TableTopReadyKZbin I had no idea that a chart like that existed! Thank you very much! I have heard a LOT of good things about Vallejo, and they do seem cheaper than Citadel. I was actually looking at Vallejo before I looked at TAP, but the price of TAP is what drew me to them. TAP is the cheapest of the 3 I believe, and has super good reviews.. That being said, I don't think I like their speedpaints. A LOT of mixed reviews on those and are more expensive and I'd rather do detailed paints than a fast paint. I will do just that, try 3-5 colors of each (Vallejo and TAP) and see which I like the most. I really appreciate your response and I hope you have an amazing day. Thank you for your awesome content. Much love from a new painter in the USA!

Would you recommend painting the parts separately like you are? Also are you glueing the parts to the foam? Used to build and paint models badly as a teen and want to give it a go again. Cheers

[@TableTopReadyYoutube]

painting with sub assemblies really helps and just makes life a little easier. it does take some time and effort to get your miniatures ready but it's worth it. you can fully build your miniatures as well though. its really up to you and how you like to work. I do a a getting miniatures ready for painting tutorial on the channel if you need help with it

[@jonathanwilliams2228]

@@TableTopReadyKZbin thanks for the advice, I’ll check out your other videos, looking forward to painting my GK strike team, waiting on a few deliveries before I get going and I’ve ordered a nemesis Dreadknight from eBay to start further down the line.

[@artic_ryuu1177]

I am new to the hobby and planning to start my first army with Grey Knights. The tutorial is pretty great, however, buying all the paints will be a little expensive. Can I buy just some and give my Grey Knights a semi decent look, and later down the line buy the rest of the paints and finish the details? Or painting minis is something that must be done in one single process

[@TableTopReadyYoutube]

welcome to the hobby :D Yes, this is a fantastic way to approach the hobby and painting if your new. you can start with just base colours. then maybe next week you treat yourself to the grey knights steel to use on the armour etc etc. you can paint your miniatures over a length of time. if you leave highlighting till last, you'll find you feel more comfortable as you'll have some experience painting. Grey Knights are also grey because the army pretty much shares all the same colours, so one of your paints will go along away :D I'm planning on doing a future tutorial on this as a lot of people do ask

What colour primer did you use?

[@TableTopReadyYoutube]

leadbelcher, everything is shown on the screen and also listed in the descriptions of the tutorials if you ever want to know what I use :D

[@lopez5678]

@@TableTopReadyKZbinit was a bit confusing which one you used since there are so many listed under primes. So its ok if I use ledbelcher? Sorry Im new not sure the difference between primer & undercoat.

As a GK player who has really been struggling to paint his army I cannot thank you enough for this video!!!

Glad I can help. It’s why I make these videos to help people paint their miniatures 😁

[@stonkotron319]

Do you only use citadel products? If so, why?

[@TableTopReadyYoutube]

There a fantastic range of paints. Best water acrylics for miniature in my opinion. Lots of variety and choice. My goal is also to replicate how the studio paint them so I like to use the same paints.

[@joelcordero6639]

How do you manage to make your brushes so pointy all the time? I use S Layer as well and it starts to spread pretty quick then I have to straighten it back with my cup again lol

[@TableTopReadyYoutube]

I buy them pointy and do my best to keep em that way 😋 haha make sure to see the condition of the brush your buying as not all brushes are made equal. Try not to use the same brush for everything either. I have several so the work is spread out if that makes sense. Less wear and tear. Just try and be mindful as well whilst your painting.

Everyone knows more paints = better 😋 honestly though I just show best results. You can still get some really good looking miniatures with a small amount of paints. Watch my recent ultramarines for beginnners. It’s all about the basics and fundamentals. 💪🏻

[@lionsoldier1179]

Would you ever make a video wholly devoted to highlighting? I know everyone talks about it, but it never feels that helpful.

[@TableTopReadyYoutube]

Honestly I think about it often and always decide not to. There really isn’t much I could say outside what I already show in every video. The best advice I can give is to practice and practice. Nothing can substitute experience. Buy a box of space marines and work on highlighting them to the best ability that you can. I spent 6 months just highlighting space marines and eventually you’ll get that moment where it just clicks. It’s like the matrix in a weird way and suddenly you find that your ability has massively improved. I’m still deciding wether that is a tutorial I would like to do and how I can make it interesting 🖖🏻

[@lionsoldier1179]

@@TableTopReadyKZbin Alright, thanks for the advice! I’ll be getting the Marines in the 10th Edition box, so I’ll definitely work on it with them!

@TableTopReadyKZbin - I do not believe I am. Besides, I'd rather miss out than be forced to change my preferred viewing method of casting to my TV just to see some (likely recreated) content in a format that doesn't view well on TV. I will NEVER watch a Short. Period.
