How to Paint Space Marine Jump Pack Jets (and Make Them Look Awesome)

[@DukeMcHuge]

These looks amazing! The ability to make it look like a proper light source with such a simple technique is so cool!

[@renegadePainter]

@@DukeMcHuge thank you so much! I try to keep it simple so anyone can follow along

[@eldarmark]

I like those last two, they had what looked like darker streaks in the middle of the heat, that looked nice.

[@renegadePainter]

Thank you, For that there were some raised parts in the Jets so I just added some black red. Unfortunately I don't have any spare jump packs like them so I cannot replicate it just yet

[@Chris_KAy]

ahhh i like the 2nd version you showed more than the one you did, give me that video please xD!

[@renegadePainter]

The jump pack Captain? I'll have to see if I can create a short with it on 🙂

Thx❤❤❤

You could paint a few of the same models using different techniques to show differences & benefits of each technique. That would be neat

[@renegadePainter]

@@ROHIRIMSK I appreciate the kind words! That's a good idea, I'll be sure to make this for a future video :)

How would you do the exhaust of a terminator? There’s another creator that did it, but I’d venture to guess that the tutorial in terms of paint colors and details are in the patreon

[@renegadePainter]

I don't have a patreon and dont gatekeep info, however, I'd probably do it a bit more subtle, also it depends what colour you want, I'd probably stick to the colours I do on this video. If you stick to keeping the brightest points in the deepest parts of the exhaust (in-between the vents) and making the vents darker you should be good, I do have some terminators which I could probably get a tutorial out in the next couple of weeks depending on my work if that helps?

[@PT84]

I enjoy the way you make it easy for the color recipes. Some content creators paywall behind their patreon.

[@renegadePainter]

Yeah, I want to make it as accessible as possible, I get why artists do it but for me personally I understand how expensive the hobby is/can be I'm not trying to make it more expensive for people. With that being said you don't need to use the exact same colour/brand I am using you can colour match with other brands. If it helps in future videos I can recommend some alternatives to the paints I am using?

[@elliotbecke9227]

Really nice technique. I am about to begin working on some jumpy boys for my bright yellow marines and want to do something similar but I am worried it might not work out because of how bright and saturated the miniatures already are coming out of my airbrush work

[@renegadePainter]

There are a couple things you could do 1. you could switch up the colour of exhaust you want, maybe use blue? 2. start with a darker colour and increase the contrast using this video as an example - instead of adding orange and yellow as the brightest points start with the orange and red mix and build to the darker red. Potentially go darker and throw some in some black. Its all about experimenting and finding what you like, if you have a test model it maybe worth trying on that first. I hope that helps :)

[@elliotbecke9227]

I will have to try a few different models with the blue, and the red as well. I'm not afraid of painting over a few times if necessary lol. I guess as long as a keep the contrast high it should come out alright. @@renegadePainter

I'd like to know how to do plasma effects on the plasma cannons for example on the dreadnought or hellblasters

[@renegadePainter]

@@georgevorkas812 I've got that lined up for a future video! I'll be doing 2 videos 1 making use of both the airbrush and brush, another just with a brush

[@80Elminster]

the smaller two "vents" are the normal power pack exhaust and not jets.

[@renegadePainter]

Oh that makes sense, thanks!

[@B1ackxUnicornx]

You managed to come up with such a cool appearance and convincing effect with such a seemingly simple technique. As someone only just now starting to get into 40k, I definitely might use this down the line if I ever touch any units with jump packs or similar thrusters, amazing!

[@renegadePainter]

Thank you I'm glad you like it! I hope you enjoy the hobby and absolutely give it ago, have a play and see what you come up with :)
