Let's Paint: Salamanders Adrax Agatone

[@isaacjones748]

"Adrax Agatone" No one: Absolutely no one: Random hobbyist: "Did someone say Agrax Earthshade?"

[@WhatThe40k]

Haha totally! I did a double take when I first saw his name.

[@Emidretrauqe]

@@WhatThe40k You weren't the only one. I've actually started mispronouncing his name with Agrax since then...

[@KoiPondDreams]

I love what you did with the gold pieces on his armor! I didn't even think about casandora yellow, I just used agrax earthshade and it came out pretty good but I will try that yellow wash on the aggressors! Great video!

[@thebigo81]

Very nice, thanks for the breakdown.

[@WhatThe40k]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Spekd]

Nice work on the flames. It's good to see.

[@WhatThe40k]

Thanks, it turned out better than I thought they would :)

[@stingybaku]

I have brought a great deal of dishonor upon myself, my family and descendants for constantly ruining my own work :'(

[@WhatThe40k]

Continue on brother. Remember that battle is the anvil upon which skill is tempered.

[@paulofreire7520]

Nice job. Adrax is a great model! 👍🏻

[@WhatThe40k]

Thank you, he was a treat to work on.

[@domallan7739]

Great work mate! Only just found you and really like what you did to Adrax, I love the Salamanders and can't wait to paint my guys up and get the on the table. Let us know how we goes for you, keep up the great work. Vulkan Lives!

[@WhatThe40k]

Welcome fellow battle brother, may your paints stay thin and your brush be true. Vulkan Lives!

[@songohan1075]

Very good job looks fantastic. I have one question when u subassemblies which stuff u use for it? I will subassembles painting cadians for the first time

[@WhatThe40k]

Thanks, I usually use odd sprue bits to mount the pieces on as I work. I hope that answers your question :)

[@Redem10]

Hey thank your video was absolutely necesserary for me to make my vulkan primarch mini armor, thank you a lot

[@luisdanielmirandagomez7582]

you are a true son of nocturne :>

[@lordmaharg]

Awesome job! Just found this channel whilst looking for miniature painting. I have just pulled the trigger on my first set of Space Marines with the intention of doing Salamanders. Awesome channel and definitely deserves more than 580 Subs. Would you ever consider doing army painting guides? Maybe one of each type of unit as an example? Keep up the great work :)

[@WhatThe40k]

Thanks, I am glad you have found it to your liking fellow son of Nocturne :) Doing a video like this for each unit in an army range would be a fun (but daunting) task. I definitely could do more guides for the units in my own collection as I work through my backlog if people continue to find them worthwhile.

[@lordmaharg]

@@WhatThe40k Personally I find painting guides like yours a great help and the main inspiration for upping my painting game. It would definitely be a big task but i think it would be a unique series even if you covered a few example units (Troop/HQ/Heavy Support) for example. But anyway, thanks again for the hard work and great content. Definite subscribe and bell.

[@jacobheller3146]

I cant decide which army i wanna go between salamanders and imperial fist plus dark angels

[@WhatThe40k]

That is a tough choice. As much as I would love to have another brother rallying for Nocturne, I believe it is important to build an army you are passionate about. Are you torn for lore/ fluff reasons or more so the game mechanics?

[@jacobheller3146]

@@WhatThe40k well love the way that the salamanders fight cause who dosent love flamethrowers but i like the look of soms imperial fist armys ive seen and dark angels cause ive read some lore and i do enjoy most the deathwing and raven wing seeing them in battle

[@WhatThe40k]

Right, so imo.... since hobby time is the laborious part of building your army, I think its wise to go with what you find will be the most visually pleasing/rewarding. I find most factions have great stuff to like if you look for it.

[@jacobheller3146]

@@WhatThe40k yea true

[@stuartchadwick184]

Theres a whole book series.

[@Tnkrumpets]

Thank you!!

[@WhatThe40k]

You're welcome!

[@orrinsalton829]

What brushes did you use in the vid, bc looking at getting some?

[@WhatThe40k]

IIRC its a Raphael 8404 size 0. Honestly, its an amazing brush.

[@takeo575]

Hello do you know which citadel paint to use that can match to your green for the armor, please ?

[@WhatThe40k]

That would be Warp Stone Glow

[@takeo575]

@@WhatThe40k Thank you very much.

[@WhatThe40k]

No problemo 😄

[@jeanbaptistecurtet8164]

trop top!!.Je l’aurais mardi!!.

[@Xander__]

Really good video! What kind of airbrush gear do you use?

[@WhatThe40k]

At the time of this video's release, it was literally the cheapest airbrush I could find on amazon. But earlier this year I switched to the badger patriot 105.

[@morgantherandomgamer2136]

Is there a list of paints somewhere?

[@WhatThe40k]

Unfortunately no. When I made this video I didn't create a master list of all paints, instead listing the paints per step.😅

[@fabianmojica6773]

Do you have to use primer or is it optional?

[@WhatThe40k]

Primer is essential for most models as it allows the pigment to 'bite' onto the plastic surface.

[@fabianmojica6773]

Thank you so much my guy appreciate it truly and your right. They look great with it thanks again!

[@fabianmojica6773]

Also, thanks for the video. I just finished Adrex today he looks stellar . Thanks for the videos. Keep the content coming!

[@kevinishki]

How long did everything take you?

[@WhatThe40k]

Good question, I want to say between 6-8 hours.... it's really tough to say, since its been so long since I painted Adrax. That's my best guess. :/

[@kevinishki]

@@WhatThe40k ok. Just curious. I'm new to the hobby and I feel dumb when I see someone finish a nice model in 13 minutes. While I'm over spending all night to make 70% of one model look nice.

[@WhatThe40k]

I can appreciate where you're coming from. Your speed/quality will improve as projects are completed. Beyond that I would just say, keep at it. Welcome to the hobby. And if you have any questions feel free to ask. :)

[@Kharmazov]

First Primaris model that actually looks decent.

[@hoebread7584]

Honestly almost all the lrimaris models are done excellently. I think its a shame that they get so much hate, because the models really don't deserve it imo

[@andrzejwasielewski1644]

worst primaris figure

[@WhatThe40k]

I dig him, but to each his own.
