How to Paint WORLD EATERS Space Marines for the Horus Heresy

[@tinyfishhobby3138]

I really appreciate that you guys are doing all the Horus Heresy legion tutorials for free on KZbin.

[@cultofpaint]

Hope to get the rest out in the not to distant future. At least 1 per legion.

One of my favourite colour schemes from the Horus Heresy period, I remember my mind being blown finding out my all red Khorne Warriors used to be white and blue. One of favourite videos so far too, great work guys. Also Henry I now cannot hear your voice without hearing 'typical Frog bulls*t' that absolutely slayed me on one of the previous podcasts...best quote ever For context this was Henry talking about Lord Kroak trapping the Lord of Earthquakes under a mountain. Typical Frog Bullsh*t 😂

looks great, glad to see the HH series getting some more love on this channel

[@settralives]

Looks great! Looking forward to Sons of Horus, keen to get some started soon.

[@cultofpaint]

For sure

[@rankcolour8780]

Nice work. Contrast paints are great through an airbrush, also really enjoying the citadel clear range through the airbrush too. they have a glossy transparency that's amazing for things like Tyranids layering them over multicoloured preshading.

[@MrFredstt]

For some reason I've always loved the loyalist World Eater paint scheme

[@cultofpaint]

The warhounds? Great scheme.

[@MJRacine1992]

these videos are just an invaluable resource, keep it up! Would love to see your approach to a death guard off white

[@cultofpaint]

Theyll be getting theirs for sure

[@Wijkert]

Really like it when you show the color plates and take inspiration from them

[@ellisowendaniel]

Every week I learn a new trick from these videos. This week it was to highlight decayed metal with runelord brass. Tried it today and it works brilliantly. It’s amazing how differently paints can work in combination. Usually I’d only used runelord brass to highlight something like Balthasar gold. It has a much different effect on the decayed metal, and likewise the decayed metal looks different when highlighted with runelord brass. Maybe this is something i should have known already but it clicked in my head today.

[@cultofpaint]

Great to hear!

[@thegoodlifeonlybettr]

Wow! Great work, love the finished model.

[@cultofpaint]

Thanks a lot!

[@ericromero5438]

I would love to see a video about fixing decals. I was impatient with an ad mech tank and I hate it lol. Keep up the good work.

[@kiesminis]

Great paint job Henry and yes I'd like to see a video on fix decals at some point. Have a great weekend

[@ShabeBarry]

Thank you for the great tutorials. Amazing work!

[@warhounds]

love this, cant wait for a contemptor tutorial

[@cultofpaint]

One on the Patreon

[@alecatnight1540]

Right on time, I was just starting to plan a thousand sons warband with these colors ✨

[@MyName1sBOB123]

these videos are really going to come in handy with the new HH boxset, i can see it already

[@cultofpaint]

Yes indeed!

[@loken67]

I like teh color scheme with the Tamiya paints. There seems to be some silvering under the decals. A solid base of gloss varnish and some MircroSol and MicroSet with a second coat of gloss could help here. Looking forward to your next legion video...

[@cultofpaint]

As addressed in the video, even though following the "correct" process of gloss, set&sol etc as per our "how to apply decals" video the result was poor. It was user error on my part, nothing to do with the process.

[@Kalron9]

I would highly appreciate if you could do Sons of Horus at some point! SoH and World Eaters are the two legions I'm considering to collect and I appreciate your content on this!

[@martinhooijenga8619]

I love these

[@geteavnroc2250]

Just got done watching your entire HH series. This video is my favorite. I like all of the lighter schemes you do, but your DA/NL schemes not so much. Just personal preference. I notice though, that you don't tend to do a a whole lot of edge highlighting, aside from the shoulders and the mini still comes out looking great. I love that about your work, as i'm usually anal retentive about the edge highlights at the onset, and then regretting it, once i'm done.

[@Shrimpmakro]

Thanks :) I really like your tutorials especially the 30k ones. Do you have a tutorial for pre/mild heresy Death Guard? I have about 5000points of HH DG to paint...^^^^

[@cultofpaint]

Coming very soon

[@LeetSniper4]

Hello Henry! When you sprayed the ultramarines blue contrast paint, was it just straight out of the pot? or did you use thinners? Never used a contrast paint before and would love to try this recipe. Thank you in advance!

[@cultofpaint]

Hi Peter, I add a bit iof normal airbrush thinner

[@terrainbeast9154]

Any idea what the GW equivalent or a color close to this would be? Tamiya - IJN Grey XF-75, all my local stores are sold out

[@cultofpaint]

Administratum grey

[@matthewross3162]

Great tutorial

[@cultofpaint]

Thanks!

[@hampytiger812]

Man. I’ve always wanted some space marines, big Skaven army guy. But now I think you sold it to me

[@cultofpaint]

Awesome

[@ale661]

Would anyone happen to know which book was shown at the first 30 seconds of the video?

[@xLAZY666]

Have you guys done a tutorial on 30k angron?

[@MLaak86]

Will there be a Thousand Sons video?

[@forgivememama2833]

What book is that in the very beginning with the photos of the armor?

[@MLaak86]

Might use the white armour of this scheme for my Death Guard lads but the rest of the DG weathering and such

[@cultofpaint]

Nice. Big fan of white Deathguard scheme

[@MLaak86]

@@cultofpaint I really like it too, think it stands out a little vs the more dirty bleached bone look.

@@cultofpaint what sorta paint might work for the effect of chipping on this armour colour?

[@cultofpaint]

@@MLaak86 pretty much any brown or grey

[@MLaak86]

@@cultofpaint Cheers, just wondered if you'd go anything specific in terms of a neutral-ish grey for damaged or unpainted Ceramite

[@cs4805]

Great video, thanks. What blue would you use on places that are unreasonable to airbrush?

[@cultofpaint]

Probably Macragge and Teclis.

[@Adam.Hughes]

I really struggle with spiderwebbing when trying to be accurate with the smaller highlights. I use the same Flat White 1:4 X-20a thinner mix but even at 20psi i really struggle. Any tips?

[@cultofpaint]

you could drop the pressure a bit, but that risks speckling. Perhaps try moving a little quicker to ensure you don't get a build up of paint any where.

[@Shrimpmakro]

You could also mix some drops of drying retarder in it. I don't know if tamiya has something in their range but mr. color retarder mild works really well and should be compatible with tamiya. But make sure that you let your models dry longer. www.mr-hobby.com/en/product1/category_7/160.html

[@grizzlyvegeta3911]

About time lol..... I love you guys even more now...... BUT now I'm going to have VIIth and again a XIIth legion projects going

[@cultofpaint]

Its important to have a good guy and bad guy army!

[@porklaser2166]

I don’t have an airbrush or what not so if I used ardcoat would I still be able to get a capillary reaction doing is that way?

[@cultofpaint]

yep

[@therickspears]

No rush, and I hope I don't sound greedy, because this is going to keep me entertained for a quite a bit, but some friends and I are planning a Shadow Crusade campaign. Do you have Heresy Ultramarines and Word Bearers in the pipeline?

[@cultofpaint]

For sure. All legions will get at least one video

[@jarminiatures5244]

How many coats of the Lucky varnishes do you apply usually? Maybe it's just perception but I feel like the polyurethane varnishes give a more durable protection so not sure if I need to do plenty of coats with the Lucky varnishes to get similar protection

[@cultofpaint]

probably 2-3. I'm only using them to change the finish, not for any protection. Gloss will always give you better protection, so you could apply that first then your satin/matte

[@jeffreyprosser5126]

How on earth do you keep the oil mixed in with the thinners all I get is a blob of oil paint that doesn’t dilute with the thinners just sticks to the brush

What oils are you using and what thinner??

search for "metal mixing dish for paint"

[@frugalporpoise526]

i thought you cant put an oil wash straight over acryilic without a varnish??

[@cultofpaint]

A common misconception. As long as acrylic paint is dry then go ahead.

[@adrianstrath9555]

I can just never get my Tamiya Whites and Greys to airbrush this smoothly. They're always so speckled. What am I doing wrong?

[@cultofpaint]

Either up your psi or thin the paint a little more (you can thin Tamiya much more than you would a normal acrylic paint and it still behaves)

[@adrianstrath9555]

@@cultofpaint Yeah maybe I need a better compressor. I have an Iwata Ninja but it only has less or more. No actual PSI settings. But cheers

[@slaughtergaming4641]

Did you thin the contrast paint at all? I can't seem to get my color the same

[@cultofpaint]

few drops of normal thinner yeah

[@ultrawidegameplayandbenchm9158]

Just got onto 30k world eaters after a 18 year absence from the hobby do you have any tips for doing an ornate gold for angrons armour

[@cultofpaint]

No quick tips no, but we focus a lot more on that type of thing over on our Patreon. Also welcome back!

[@squidlips6661]

Where do you get these models ? Cant find them anywhere

[@cultofpaint]

Games Workshop for teh plastic mk4 kit, Forgeworld for the resin upgrade head.

[@frugalporpoise526]

No matter what i did i could not get that contrast blue to work!!

[@Sarkhamy]

How would you go about painting a space marine in a kinda marbled look?

[@cultofpaint]

You can get a decent looking marble effect spraying through some wire wool, or a dried out wet wipe. OR alternatively, paint on all the little lines by hand.

[@edwardpoppy]

After attempting this for myself I have discovered that you need a really good airbrush and not my shitty Amazon one. Doh!

[@AdamRobertshaw]

You need microsol/microset for your decals, still have the crusty outlines...
