Was never interested in the blood angels paint scheme but you just turned a boring 1 color scheme into a wonderful piece of eye candy.

[@maxbrandt6]

Have you seen what they looked like in the 1st edition rulebook?!

[@stefanblok8212]

Hey x31omega, i think that you can make a space marine just as interesting as you want. The standard Blood Angels color scheme is a bit mundane. But if you make it your own, and ad loads of detail it can look amazing. Check out this amazing Blood angels by Duncan Rhodes for instance! kzbin.info/www/bejne/hpeaqGiPbqiZbMU

[@nikolapopovic2790]

ive watched this specific episode from start to finish 6 times ( never painted a mini in my life )but this vid broke me i got 40 marines waiting to aspire and ascend to this beautiful red ( had a hard time getting all the color) i know this is not the esiest method used for painting them but i got a feeling even if i fall short they will be marvels and ty u should do more this is astonishing

[@jazzwonderboy]

My advice be patient, he makes it look easier than it is but persistence is rewarded

[@MagatsuNimura]

Man, there is something so satisfying about wathching you move around the brush. A point so sharp and precise, and your way of moving the paint around. I hope for that level of control one day. I still haven't painted a single space marine in my life, and I think it's time to change that. I need to try and get one, and paint it to a high standard.

[@finlayhazlitt9411]

It blows me away how much depth you get with such a small number of paint choices. Really enjoy highlighting reds and blacks with flesh tones, can't wait to try it out myself.

[@WarsmithHuggy]

Gotta say, I really loved this video. I'm not up to this standard of painting, but if you ever feel shitty about your painting and saying yourself "I'm not that good." Just add "yet" to the end of it. I was actually quite chuffed with myself with realising how many of these techniques I dont realised I've picked up myself.

[@jostonpowell1346]

The main thing I enjoy about your painting is its more realistic looking than GWs cartoony bright colors. Between you, Vince, Marco, Zack, Cult of Paint and a few others my skills have drastically improved over the last couple of years.

[@spume74]

The brush control is absolutely remarkable.

[@ArdWulf]

I agree with Jacktor...the rich n deep hues of that color spectrum deserve more attention (and this is the man to pull it off)

[@ShutUpWesley]

There is a nice side effect of rewatching your videos, and that is: I get the urge to paint more ;D Thanks.

[@TheJacktor]

I'd love to see you go over painting a dark purple. Everyone I've seen paints the same bright purple that's a little too pinky for me

[@n6356583]

I was flamed in an online forum for having the highlight at the top of the four exhausts on the backpack. Feels vindicating to see you portray it this way too. Cheers!

I've watched this over and over again maybe 8 times as I prepare to paint my first blood angels and it's almost more impressive every time

[@trovarion]

Don't forget the 'Eavier than Metal series is more like a masterclass - definitely not a beginner tutorial. Doesn't mean you cant take away something from it even as a beginner, but you should not beat yourself up if your first blood angels do not look like this right of the bat. go easy on yourself!

[@shannonsteven3982]

@@trovarion OH no I know they'll likely be horrible ha but I love seeing the techniques and the way you break down why you're doing it. For a beginner with no artistic skill it gives an understanding that helps with improving. Thank you for the tutorials

[@giovannisantostasi9615]

Best Blood Angel miniature I could find on KZbin so far.

[@SuperCosmicSpaceMagnet]

The smoothness of the paint on the shoulders is just magic. If I use a white colour or bone on a marine's shoulders it just goes NOPE. Feels like I either use too much water and it washes everywhere, or not enough and it goes blotchy/streaked. Incredible work.

[@trovarion]

thanks!

[@devoiceiddee7459]

Here's a tip also, try an off white (celestra grey for a blue white, or wraithbone for well, bone) or even an ink (with matt medium). You could even mix it in with your lahmium medium, or a dedicated matt medium. Or give up on citadel colours entirely and use reaper/vallejo or P3 and such :P Hope that helps!

This video made me come back to the hobby and start a space marine army. I already had a small force of blood angels in 1998 but never got to play them and sold them pretty soon after painting a few of them. It bugged me until now. I am going build a modern version of my 90s force. I am not sure if take this approach or the one from your grim dark video. I‘ll try both and see which process is more enjoyable. Thank you so much for all the free content. I‘ll look into you patreon stuff pretty soon.

[@travislankford9254]

Love your videos (and the awesome shirt). Completely underrated especially with how incredibly talented you are. I definitely prefer a black chest eagle and black trim. I think that was the old school theme for them from (I forget the earlier editions) so you do have some justification for those choices.

[@trovarion]

thanks a lot, mate!

[@Quisite]

Thank you for the inspiration! I have a mini on my painting table which is mephiston red, and black but I felt overwhelmed on how to paint it. You gave me a ton of inspiration, and some confidence to finish the model!

Bloody hell, I’m just getting back into the hobby and I’m wanting to go with a a Blood Ravens chapter and this is almost exactly how I wanted to paint them. Even down to the hazard stripes on the chainsword. This is such a beautiful paint job. Only difference being I also want to implement bronze trimming for squad captains and gold for the elites and commanders. Damn, I’ve got a lot to learn.

[@celephais40k12]

Insane paint-job! The flesh-tone + yellow highlight is really nice and looks a good deal better than the usual orange I would highlight with - I'm looking forward to trying it out on my next Blood Angel!

[@AviadMD]

Amazing video mate, This is exactly the result I've envisioned and tried to describe on our feedback session, not going full metallic red but trying to incorporate some of the elements and the "pop" on a more of a manageable task for an army! Personal note aside, really loving the approach you took in the video, great upload

So I had a go at this for no reason in particular, I also felt it was beyond my skills. I have to say my results really impressed me, stuff I could do better if I did it again, and I didn't have any transfers and I really wish I did. Great guide, great video, I learnt a tone. Gimmi dat patrion

[@xenocide1307]

You seemed to stress over the finish on the leather pieces for a while, but if you're going to seal a finished piece with a layer of varnish does it even matter what sort of finish the leather has at that stage? Also you can always apply a coverage coat of varnish, and then go back and manually apply specific finish varnishes to targeted areas (ie you coat it Satin, and then go back with matte or gloss to accentuate certain surfaces)

[@MrLems87]

This video inspired me so much I’ve been trying to have a go this evening. I’m on at the dark wash stage but it’s coming out pretty patchy, I suspect maybe it’s too thin but I’ll keep trying! Might resort to airbrush from below like you mentioned in the video.

[@Meloncholyflower]

Mines too dark :/ like it looks fine initially but it drys close to black
