How to Paint WORDBEARERS | WARHAMMER: THE HORUS HERESY | Space Marines |

[@alpine7313]

"Everyone's favorite baddies", "Bad guys". Tell us, how much is Guilliman paying you to say these things. Blink twice if there are Ultramarines in the room with you.

[@kylezimmerman9690]

Agreed 1000%

[@slymarbo7613]

Looks nice, never seen a candy scheme on a Word Bearer and wouldn’t think to try it but it actually looks real good. Nice job!

[@BlitzkriegDane]

I love these heresy videoes. Very nice paintschemes, easy to follow along and use for myself. Thank you!

[@Holktube]

Ooh boy, I've been waiting for this one!

[@mirage809]

Metallic schemes are fun. They're so striking and visually interesting to look at. Love how matte this one, even though he's all metallic. He doesn't come across as too crunchy and weathered though. Strikes a happy medium between shine and matte meaning an army of them won't overwhelm your eyes with stuff going on.

[@tetrarch_1347]

What a way to improve midweek mood, cheers gents

[@windpeoples]

Love the way you paint a transparent colour over metal. Must try that when I get my next unit of termies.

[@LupercaliaXVI]

This looks lovely! Would you make another tutorial for the non metallic version? I’d really love to see that! Or any idea on how to approach the red without it looking like blood angels and without desaturating the reds too much with black?

[@cultofpaint]

I'll try out a flat scheme on a 40k mini soon.

[@SparkSovereign]

@@cultofpaint awesome! I came here to ask the same. When you do that, do you think you could approach how to freehand some of the runework and other text on them? Decals are great but I have a *lot* of troops and some of my conversions don't leave particularly large flat areas for decals. Always glad to see Word Bearers content, thanks again!

[@TheHazmate]

For my 40k Word bearers, I used Word bearer red (original I know) But after using that color, I really love it. its darker and won't be mistaken for blood angel or khorne red

[@LupercaliaXVI]

@@cultofpaint much appreciated!

[@TheHazmate]

@@zogwort1522 I never had a bottle of Mechrite red (which I think you're refering to) And I would say they're similar, but mechrite seems closer to the current khorne red. Word bearer red is a little darker and kinda muted red.

[@PontusAG]

Lovely! Almost makes me regret not doing a metallic scheme for my word bearers.

[@AL-jo6wh]

Great video Henry

[@theresevoerman7109]

Great video. I've been looking forward to this one. Incidentally, the WBs made their debut in HH book 2!

[@cultofpaint]

Blimey

[@therickspears]

FINALLY YESSSSSSS

[@lucadose4526]

Great result!!!

[@cultofpaint]

Thank you!

[@YaBoiVD]

I though I was the only one who loved the smell of airbrushing Tamiya paints

[@cultofpaint]

It’s the reds in particular….

[@YaBoiVD]

@@cultofpaint it's really sweet, right? I told my friend about it and he said to stop smelling it 😂

[@JazzToTheTwo]

I got distraced by something at the beginning and when i looked back i saw you applying the latex with a toothpick. Was super confused as to why you were painting a model with a toothpick for a few seconds. Thought it was some crazy new method or something ahah

[@thomasc6684]

Very nice. Think I might use this scene for my metallic Blood Angels, except without the Carroburg Crimson glaze at the end. Would it work the same on larger models - dreadnaughts and tanks etc?

[@shankley_has_a_brush]

Incredible, Henry.

[@Evan-ed9mx]

Hello, i love your video and even buy the mig satin varnish, but when applied the water can reactivate him, do you thin this varnish with something special ?

[@cultofpaint]

I don’t thin it. I find it sprays well at my normal pressure without dilution.

[@FloorSweepersUnion]

I had this trouble too! I think if the satin is too thin it reactivates it as it’s water based, I’m going to try it straight in future

[@NYIKAZENO]

I am not usually fan of candy coat, but this looks fun. I may try a kill team in this scheme!! Thanks!!

[@cultofpaint]

It can be fun.

[@tombrand236]

Love this! What would you recommend for a vibrant colour finish over a metallic base - a Contrast paint or Tamiya clear? I’ve seen you use both but wondering which you’d say works best. Thanks!!!

[@cultofpaint]

Contrast gives you more of a coloured metallic look. Whereas clears give you that deeper candy effect

[@tombrand236]

@@cultofpaint thanks mate. Which one would you say you prefer then? I am having a hard time to pick the best route forward as I like the look of both but probably easier to weather and apply damage to contrasts?

[@cultofpaint]

@@tombrand236 yeah different looks really. Contrast is a quicker scheme and maybe a little easier to weather, but honestly both are fun to do song with your fave.

[@tombrand236]

@@cultofpaint thanks very much again guys! I am considering joining as a patron, I love your style of painting. And you should get commission on Sansodor! 😂

[@brendansun7290]

This looks amazing! Do you have a video for the face? I've been trying to paint a skin tone like that for a while and havent found the right recipe.

@@cultofpaint Thanks! I missed it right there 🤦‍♂

[@SnyperMac1]

Have you ever tried doing a red over gold?

[@cultofpaint]

Yeo, in the thousand sons video.

[@thedyingmeme6]

Is there a way to make the 'candy' color without airbrushing??

[@cultofpaint]

You can brush paint it. Or buy the Tamiya rattle can version.

[@isaacnickel]

Pls make a Imperial fists tutorial 😢🙏❤

[@chrisdempyful]

When will you be doing the ultramarines in the Horus heresy

[@cultofpaint]

We wondered if people would want a second Ultras scheme from us.

[@roochman]

How did you paint that head? I love how the pale skin looks!

[@cultofpaint]

Link to tutorial is near end of video.

[@SWATDRUMMUH]

would this also work for 40k or would you argue that the metallic finish should be matte while the trim is shiny?

[@cultofpaint]

Would work great for 40k.

[@x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x]

Looks more like Thousand sons red ngl.

[@shasher4738]

Thousand sons is a much brighter red.

[@valentinmelik6432]

What is the turntable you guys use?

[@cultofpaint]

It was just some generic one off Amazon, cost about £30

[@scottywan82]

Would love to see how you did the skintone.

[@cultofpaint]

Linked the tutorial near the end of the video.

[@mjarvis8610]

What do you use to thin the Scale 75 Metallics for the airbrush? I use Vallejo thinner and I gave a problem with them separating.

[@cultofpaint]

I use Life Colour thinner and have not had any issues.

[@mjarvis8610]

@@cultofpaint thanks. Maybe I was a bit aggressive with it. Will try again. :)

[@andrewhansen4300]

Couldn't you paint the whole model without masking and then just go back over with black?

[@beorntrahern8825]

What did you thin the clear red with?

[@cultofpaint]

Tamiya x20a thinner

[@stephenbosko9343]

i feel like the candy coats red are waaaaaay more 1k sons than word bearers

[@rhodesiancowboy]

Did you use the acrylic or enamel clear red?

[@cultofpaint]

Always Acrylics

[@CarmelloCassarole]

When you say 3 drops of thinner to paint is it literally I.e 3 drops of thinner or a ratio so 3 drops of thinner to 1 drop of of paint or a 75% ratio

[@cultofpaint]

3 drops of thinner to 1 drop of paint 3:1 ratio

[@benives254]

There's something weird about the proportions of these terminators. Like their torsos are too short. Amazing paint job though!

[@cultofpaint]

Yeah, just try not to think about it ;)

That masking stuff aways seems to chip my paint job.

[@KingJimsy]

Good paint job but it doesn't feel very Word Bearers, it's much more Thousand Sons. Again.

[@geteavnroc2250]

I was looking forward to this one, for quite some time. Its disappointing that it was another Tamaya paints promo, rather than a useful tutorial for someone who is trying to quickly (and un-complicated-ly) get an army on the table. I can definitely get a faster, better looking result without the Tamaya process shown here.

[@FloorSweepersUnion]

Maybe do your own tutorials bro
