How To Paint Space Marine Sternguard Veterans for Warhammer 40,000

[@perrsus8995]

Love these step-by-step guides. Please continue videos like this one and the terminator guide, they are simply amazing.

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

Thank you, I'll do my best to :D

[@SigismundSonOfDorn]

I've gotta say, after getting no small amount of compliments on my painted GKs and even being told I inspired someone's own paintings, I have you to thank. I must've binged over half your videos before I painted my first miniature, and, ofc, I still watch and find new things to work on and try. You've definitely helped keep me motivated in this hobby. Thanks a ton, my guy.

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

Awesome. you should be really proud :) your the one putting the work in. keep working hard and I'll do the same :D

[@spitroastfor8]

Probably one of the best miniature painters I've ever seen! Fantastic tutorial mate 👍

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

oh shucks. thats very kind of you to say. thank you

[@Panda]

new video hype :) ding ding

[@SuperSweetBoy]

Gradually working my way through Leviathan, your tutorials are really good and give me ideas on how to improve the look of my Ultramarines, especially when it comes to glazing and using chunky highlights. Keep up the good work!

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

Glad I'm helping you with your own miniatures :D

[@minibang2543]

Beautiful models just as you’d expect! I love these miniatures!

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

yeah I love em aswell

[@mattmanchip9419]

WOOO! looking forwards to when you eventually do Rubrics 😊

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

I wouldn't be surprised to see one eventually :D

[@doubletime9098]

Hey, Michael. Love your painting tutorials and I use them to paint my models as a beginner. Are you considering making a video on how to paint Von Ryan Leapers?

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoy my content and yes I am considering doing Ryan Leapers. I recon I'll do neurotyrant first

[@isaacHarrus]

These are such great videos! I absolutely love this guid! I have a whole set of sternguard that I am going to do following your guide!

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

oooo awesome. good luck and I hope you enjoy painting em :D

[@ChrisNors]

Another great vid. I’m hoping you’ll do the new space marine scouts next (in Ultramarine cols please 😃)

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

hmmm maybe. I'd have to wait untill they came out in their box

[@MissingReel732]

Excited for this one! I was wondering about how to paint the tabards well.

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

hopefully this helps then

[@Itz2Cat]

Guess what box i just got?! Although I'm not painting Ultramaries, for those tabards I'm following this step by step as to this day is still find cloth a bit ticky. Amazing work.

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

Thank you. I hope it helps

[@nicolasbourelier1017]

Perfect for Beginners and Tabletop Players ! Love it, keep the excellent work, you're the best !

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

Thank you very much

[@MarkNarrations]

Just got this set as my first Warhammer set and paints to go with it. I put them together, came here and realised I'm going to be in trouble trying to paint them all in one piece :) Love the tutorial though, thank you.

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

ouch haha thats okay everything I show you can sstill do. just take your time with it and you can always go in a neaten up any mess and mistakes as you go

[@MarkNarrations]

Please be my personal teacher

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

I already am with these videos

[@bee-beargaming]

Please make a tutorial for the new deathwing knights?

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

as soon as I can get some I will

[@bee-beargaming]

​@@TableTopReadyKZbin awesome

[@MultiZegamer]

You are one of the best eavy metal painters. Really good work. Thank you

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

oh shucks thank you. although I'm not as good as eavy metal painters (yet) I'm working hard everyday :D

[@chrishollinrake3171]

I used to paint Sacrosanct stuff for AoS and my tabards were hot garbage. Followed the steps here (substituting the final highlight for a wraith/Ushabti mix as I didn’t own your suggested colour. The results are fantastic, thank you!

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

I'm glad you've found this useful even though your painting diffeent miniatures :D everything I show can be applied to everything. I'm glad you like the content

[@PrimarisMecanicus]

Thank you so much, amigo. i learned so much from this 😃

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

I'm glad you enjoy the content :) thank you

[@MyChannel-tl8ms]

Hello, do you know how to clean an airbrush and thin the paint?

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

I do. I'm not an expert though. I don't really use them enough either. there are plenty of videos on youtube already that do a better job than I would showing how to do :)

[@Tekkaman76]

so clean and nice, excellent tutorial!

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

Thank you 🙏🏻

[@thehopefulgamer1075]

I have been enjoying your videos very much sir. I have definitely adapted a few of your ideas, and my skills continue to grow, so thank you for that! I realize I am not a patron member or anything, but I still wanna throw this request out there. Please do a tutorial for Chief Librarian Tigurius of the Ultramarines. High quality videos for him are woefully lacking on KZbin and I think he deserves better 😄 Great job, and keep up the great work!

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

Thank you, I'm really glad your enjoying my content. I do want to start covering more character painting so maybe I'll get round to tigurius in the future.

[@goforitpainting]

Really cool tutorial 👍

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

Thank you

[@spungeboeb4007]

An amazing video, as always. I'd love to see a Votann tutorual at some point

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

I plan to get at least 1 tutorial for each faction done pretty soon. So will definitely have one in the next few months

[@jakubm1254]

As always, excellent tutorial! Please, keep making them! I see that in process of sub-assembly painting primer spray covered some of surfaces that should be glued together. Would the plastic glue get through layer of primer and catch plastic? Or did You glued finally-painted parts by something else like regular super-glue?

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

when assebling the parts at the end you can use either super glue or plastic glue. if your using pastic glue I would scrape the contact areas so the glue can get to the plastic

[@rook1005]

Great tutorial! Just for conformation on the recess shade, it’s brought down to a glaze consistency?

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

thats really upto you. sometimes I'll take it to a Glaze, its what ever I think works best in that situation I think :)

[@fybso3057]

Every time i want to apply a thin layer of paint over my minis, the paint is really bubbly, do you know what to do differently

[@torkarlsson7672]

I got second place in youngblood thanks to your tutorial man. 😄

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

Thats amazing. well done. you should be very proud of that. you did the work and I'm glad my content helped :D

[@markdockery518]

How do you make your corax white layers so smooth? Every time I try, it gets very textured/chalky

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

thinned it down more :)

[@remix_0699]

YES !

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

YES

[@spuriusligustinus4509]

Very clean and thorough work as usual. Do you work this cleanly or do you make some mistakes along the way like a too chunky edge highlight? If you do make some little mistakes it would be cool to show a model before and after correcting them to show new and/or unsure people that nobody works perfectly and fixing mistakes is part of the process. I'm also amazed that you seem to be using ALL GW stuff, overpriced brushes, paints (even the notoriously bad Corax white) and even their (also overpriced) plastic glue. Do you use anything outside of their range ?

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

I make loads of mistakes. if you saw these miniaturesup close you'd see them :P i try not to worry so much about it though. I like the citadel range, its what I've always used and my goal is to paint like the studio. They great quality and probably the best water based acrylics on the market for painting miniatures. lots of variety and choice available. other things besides paints I'm easy, I'll use what ever to be honest :P

[@shootingstar0312]

your videos really inspired me to try to paint more with base coats instead of just using contrast paints

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

awseome. you can achieve a lot more with the acrylic paints, but I do also love the contrast pants as well. I would just stick to using the macragge blue base colour rather than air. The air macragge blue is slighty different. or do you mean to use it instead of the spray? I'm not sure how well the air will be on the plastic. I always say try things out and experiment, see how you like it. everyone is different and I'm only showing how I approach it :)

[@shootingstar0312]

@@TableTopReadyKZbin sorry, I Meant that I use the Macragge blue air, from the pot, as the second coat, after I primed it with Macragge blue rattle can, and I actually did notice a difference. The finish of the pot colour is noticeable, so it does actually work like you did with the base Macragge blue colour ^^

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

It’s always worth doing a base coat over the sprays

[@jcvinaja5542]

Gosh the leather painting is just great. I just need to stop drinking coffee while I paint. My hand shakes too much to keep it steady for lining the edges.

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

the more practice you do, especially highlighting, your hands become a lot steadier. Its all hand co ordination. its good to warm up and paint something not so crucial if yo get me

[@jcvinaja5542]

@@TableTopReadyKZbin thanks. I figured I'll have a test mini and do some swipes at it and they do the actual one. Kind of like a muscle memory type of thing.

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

Exactly

[@jasonvoorhees1000]

My eyes really can't tell any difference when you base coat with almost the same colour as you undercoated with. For example, I tried to paint black templars with abbadon black on chaos black. Got a lot of ugly textures, and it really wasn't fun to paint as it seemed I didn't do anything with the paint. Really disheartening and I haven't painted in months.

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

We can't expect to get things right instinstly, especually if your just starting out. everything takes time and practice and we just need to slow down and take our time with things. I would just practice the basics of thinning your paint and using multple layers. if you give up, you'll never get to see how good of a painter you are. we all start somewhere. don't give up. use those spare parts to pratice

[@jasonvoorhees1000]

Yes, I will persevere! I'm not that new, and I find my biggest problem is that I'm not consistent when it comes to thinning the paint. Alas, I have to push on and keep on practising(thanks for the boost and reminder). Besides, I have invested far too much money to give up for real.
