How to paint your first Space Marine : Everything you need to know

[@harrylane4]

“I started like this” and it’s a genuinely impressive space marine, wild talent on display whenever I see people paint miniatures, I’m always impressed

[@GeorgioSubs]

God damn it why did I watch this? Now I actually feel like I might be able to pull this off. I will never financially recover.

[@odststalker5117]

even in debt I still serve

[@iio58]

I just thought similar!

[@dfprod.]

@@odststalker5117LMFAO

[@Phoenix.Moto1]

I literally just spent almost $400 today to try this...

[@boulderingbadger6179]

I just spent 100 dollars to see if Id like it.

[@thatguy9569]

You should do more full-length painting videos! I was watching this after a long day at work, and I thought it was super relaxing to just watch you work.

[@christiangruening352]

THIS!

[@kayleelaventure1398]

Such a good tutorial! Perfect for a first model!

[@MaverickNicolson]

glad you like it! I tried keeping things as simple as possible

[@fenderman13]

Absolutely Amazing! not only a great comedic intro and outro, but some solid great tips and demonstration on how to paint a model. Thank you so much! I cant wait for the next one!

[@JamieDaggers]

Love this!! I followed after seeing your instagram content. This is such an awesome intro for beginners. You've done a great job encompassing what otherwise seems like an overwhelming amount of info for newbies.

[@johnhines229]

By far one of the best tutorials for anything I’ve ever seen

[@Mapp0]

Cracking video mate, for some reason I never thought to use the back of the blade to remove mould lines will be doing that from now on! Excited to see more content!

[@papaaaaaaa2625]

Hey, really nice video. I painted my first two Space Marines for my son. I'm not into Warhammer, but the painting was fun. I didn't used the Citadel stuff, way to expansiv in my opinion. And I already had modeling color for our WW2 models. Most Acrylic paints made by known Modeling Companies will work for Warhammer, even if they don't have the specific shades of red or what else, just mix'em yourself. Maybe not 100% similar, but good enough. Also those Washes by Citadel. It's just thinned down color will flow improver. Just do it yourself. A bit of black or brown, little bit of thinner or flow improver (or simple soap) and water. Give it a try, super simple. Stay healthy, really great looking Figures!

[@convertediron]

Yea. Youre officially the closest thing iv been able to find to compare myself to as a painter. Like youre better than me, but your "maverick" attitude i can really relate to. Paint the model, get it on the table, move forward. Love your work.

[@mdkhatsun]

So im not a child, im 41 and watching videos like this make me feel I have missed my calling in life even though I have never painted miniatures or anything other than walls. This is going to get expensive…… FAST

[@keenanshepherd-nokahoot3248]

At first the idea of starting to paint miniatures was daunting but after watching this video and it's amazing straightforward information and truly talented host I feel truly inspired and at ease and most importantly ready to begin this amazing journey into plastic addiction

[@iggiboii]

I didn’t know your improvement was that immense in that short of a time! That’s some insane talent and work you put into that

[@Deviated88]

Fantastic work sir! As someone who just painted their first mini yesterday, and it was an ultramarine I’m glad this is out so I can grab some ideas! Appreciate the work and keep it up sir!

[@tylerthegrimm]

Thank you! every time I look up painting tutorials it's always a damn airbrush. It's never just the starter kit like I've got.

[@JL-vt5uo]

This painting guide gave me the courage to take the plunge and I am super happy with it. Thankyou so much!!!

[@magnusmillerwilson]

I’ve been a huge fan of your Insta tutorials for a long time. Love to see you doing YT now. This is hilarious!!! Virtual handshake, friend. 😊

[@punishedsneed]

I've never painted a Warhammer mini (or any mini), but this video genuinely makes me want to go to my LGS, get a starting kit, and just go for it even if I have no desire to actually play the tabletop. I just like appreciating it from afar.

[@brunoclement123]

Some of these passages are superfluous but the result is amazing! Good job.

[@kinman3051]

The beginning has me hooked.

[@aiden1278]

As a beginner this is the best war hammer painting video I’ve seen yet.

[@suddentitan1016]

Planning to start getting into warhammer model collecting, this video helped a ton with what to expect!

[@TheMrFishnDucks]

Hilarious intro. Great and very helpful video. Please do more of these simple paint-jobs to fill in the space between your brutal art that captures the horror of 40K. Keep up the good work.

[@Creative_Icarus]

Cant wait to see more?

[@Mattybs_Miniatures]

This is by far the best broken-down video I've seen, definitely should have more views than it does.

[@chuckschumacher525]

As a beginner, this is the best vid out there. Thanks for keeping it simple!

[@carterfelker]

Great video. Makes me think i might be able to pick this hobby up. Also, the hilarity and comedic timing of the intro and outtro really make me want to keep watching!

[@smokinyou4312]

I was actually looking for a starter set yesterday, didn’t wanna buy a $100 box set. You’re a savior. I wanna get into having physical models, and get into painting. I notoriously don’t like slow tasks, but I feel like some catharsis will do good

[@66665555]

The intro alone was well worth it!!! Awesome to know this dude is a real Chad like the rest of us.

[@HollowedCrow]

Love your Instagram posts and glad to see you apart of youtube community!

[@HollowedCrow]

My first model kit was games workshops Nighthaunts! A long has come since that starter box 😭😭

[@BoydizzleSan]

I was less than 1 minute into this video (incidentally my first video of yours that I've watched) and decided on subscribing. Keep it up bro

[@p0nyboy362]

I like your explanation of edge highlighting.. it simplifies it a ton

[@inkyias9822]

This gave me the confidence to get my first model, now I gotta figure out what army I’m building, Fr tho solid advice for any kind of kit painting thank you

[@TheGoldenDragon_]

Great tutorial. Easy to understand and follow. I have this little starter set as well. Nice work. You make it look so easy.

[@jtrain9926]

Great vid, I would suggest making a wet pallet even for beginners. All parts can be made with stuff many people have at the house or can easily be sourced from the dollar store.

[@cetx]

This is the best getting started video I've seen.

[@hawkgamedev]

man I just discovered your channel, wow your video is both so fun and informative thanks, what an artist!

[@soul-om4id]

Great video! Thanks for the tutorial, made it look easy.

[@Ghoul540]

Awesome tutorial, definitely gonna give this a try!

[@PERFEkTi0N1]

Here because I just got through with space marine 2. And I need more!

[@klingon401]

Thank you, will defiantly be revisiting this once I get some more supplies.

[@hrabia6558]

I came back to hobby and this help me a lot, thx

[@CerxiS]

Awesome video mate! Keep them coming

[@paulkelly6278]

about to get my first set since I was like 17. So helpful.

[@RustedParadox]

Came for the paint tips. Stayed for the Big Brush Energy.

[@kladdi36]

I dont comment often. But this time i have to ! This Video is so much fun to watch. Explanations, editing of the video as well as your funny acting. Thx for it !

[@Dro250]

you went from 0 to a thousand in 4 months? I wish i had your talent! Emperor bless you!

[@CammDaHawkBouchie]

Awesome Job Sir !! Keep’em Coming !!

[@Lochy27]

To anyone who is not comfortable with a hobby knife I highly recommend modelling sand paper. Gets rid of any unwanted plastic nubs.

[@jackwagstaff8996]

Great tutorial! I think that’s the confidence I need to get painting. Also very satisfying you sound a little like Tom Hanks 😂

[@cadenmartin8482]

When doing the blood I would recommend after doin blood for the blood god another darker and thicker red such as khorne red being stippled very lightly to make a dried blood effect

[@johnnymacd7281]

Please do more longer tutorials! We want to see the epic painting stuff and not just the shorts (which are also really great) Also, very funny vid 🤣

[@parkerconnors3021]

Excellent Warhammer and Miniatute painting tutorial.

[@randipoling635]

Just started my first Warhammer Minifigs with that exact kit. Subscribed and liked.

[@SandiegoDFS]

Super inspired by your story bro, I hurt my back as well. Not nearly as bad as you dude…but still your story resonated and I’m a big warhammer enthusiast….will be following

[@VH1348]

It’s dope mate! Especially how you talked like an beginner of the hobby by using normal words and terms!

[@bige4333]

this gave the confidence i needed. please continue!

[@lukelmaooooo]

incredible. you make it look easy

[@RafaDanisM]

Muchas gracias por este vídeo, y por pensar en pintores principiantes, y no tan principiantes. Me has ayudado mucho y pienso seguir cada uno de tus videos (Thank you very much for this video, and for thinking of beginner painters, and not so beginners. You have helped me a lot and I plan to follow each of your videos)

[@KneeCapHill]

PRO TIP: Dont start.

[@McVilla1N]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@Doge-kc6dj]

Love the more longer video, hope seeing more on the future

[@philj212]

superb instruction and great production in general! can't wait to binge!

[@Rock-pq6so]

thanks for the run down on how to paint it was very helpful

[@clearcreek69]

Great video. I haven't decided if I want to get involved in this hobby as I already have some plastic models that need building. I did visit Games Workshop the other day for a Q&A session to learn more about the hobby .

[@4pstudiosgaming993]

this is already so much better than the citadel paints tutorial. The way they do their new ultramarines is just, "Spray with Macragge blue, hit the black details, do some metalics, and get the eyes, dip that little bastard in nuln oil and then BOOM, Ultramarine"

[@BrailleScale]

LMAO awesome tutorial 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 humor as good as the painting. Your reels are hilarious too. 🤙🏻

[@pPod1231]

Just found your channel. Loved the humour! Subscribed!

[@kharbury]

I really like the fantasy element. Can you do a video on the orc troopers from the fantasy set?

[@humaninvestgroup]

This is such a great video, thank you.

[@Jonathan-lp9wo]

Great Video dude. Would have loved a video like this when I first got into the hobby. Would saved me some headache :D

[@master1234ted]

Very helpful and entertaining

[@OGSpaceMarine]

Wow this is like the best introduction video for noobs like me!

[@thomasbrebion5487]

Hello any tutorial for the orange Armor on your dreadnought ? Thanks a lot, great vid

[@RandomBl0ke]

Glad I stuck through the intro, bit weird but great video

[@guywithloosesprues1507]

Dope dude 🔥🔥🔥

[@nasigoring1525]

Great video. Keep them coming!

[@benjaminjack867]

Mav is the man

[@Big_Chucky_Studios]

I really like the shelf set up which brand did you use?

[@JeffReams]

Well done sir. Excellent tutorial. 👍

[@georgepilkington9350]

This was so good! I literally painted my first ever marine today at a warhammer shop and this was the perfect video to watch, thanks my guy

[@alphawolves8809]

Amazing. Hope to see more videos

[@realwhelan]

love your channel and videos! Would you ever consider doing more of these 'how to paint' videos?

[@EveryonesGecko]

Great stuff mate !!!

[@robodinosaurs]

A great tutorial, well done. So pleased step one wasn’t buy an airbrush!

[@Yori_fire879]

Very good Video 👏

[@itabora]

I was researching how to paint custom lego minifigures, and this video was recommended and I decided to watch it. my question is, what you showed in this video can be applied to lego minifigures? (great video by the way)

[@durkee8823]

Hey, where did you get that chainsword for your Redemptor Dred? I really want one now ha.

[@benelderton8135]

Midwinter minis has brought me here. Thought you was so funny with the British accents had to come and some content a go 👍🏼

[@iceman1591]

How'd you make that look so easy though?

[@ShiiniFr]

@maverick : thanks for the video ! How much time did you wait between 2 thinned coat of blue paint in the beginning of the vid ? ++

[@Dorozoro420]

Nice.

[@dazofthemoo1531]

I can see why you got so many Subs so quickly.

[@duncannada]

That cup was so blue

[@TacoMeat0919]

Can u do a tutorial on wizkids hill giant miniature

[@tygerflare5098]

so i've got a question: when i use leadbelcher or balthasar gold, should i water it down like the blue and white, or can i apply it straight from the pot? this goes with all metallics and technicals. thank you!

[@MayerMaxim]

Hey mr.Maverick is your right pinky damaged and can't be straightened? Mine is bent the same way after i cut tendons in it, it gives me a sense of spiritual connection between us, brother!

[@wolfwood8]

LMFAOOOOO 😂 THAT INTRO THOO

[@thelasticecream8586]

Why do you use a black primer? Is it better than the white one?

[@belzaboul]

Did he not thin the paint for edge highlight?

[@Datisookmooi]

We use the same blue, but mine comes out so much darker and less glossy. Am I putting it on too thick? Should I water it down more?
