Honestly,this was perfectly timed...I'd just checked to see if you had a video for dark Angels and boom, it popped up just now.

[@scousetruth7298]

Same 😂

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

thats because I knew :P

[@rickkcir2151]

Thank you for showing the first layer of contrast looking so messy, then applying the second layer and having it look good. I’ve seen so many contrast tutorials for DA and they seem to just apply one layer and it looks perfect.

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

yoru welcome. I'm glad your liked the video. I awways try and show people what to expect and what they'll see

[@andrew_ferens]

I love your tutorials so much! They're so clear and easy to follow, and give such great results.

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

Thank you

[@fearlessretaliator4997]

I cant believe you are doing this banger of a guide with my favourite chapter. Thank you Michael.

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

no problem. I'm painting some deathwing at the moment and really enjoying them

[@MrTpimms]

Next level stuff this dude, the fact you’ve included some of the more basic ways of calling it complete and then elevating has really added to this one!

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

thank you :) glad your still around and watching. I hope your paintin gstill and enjoying the hobby

[@soyeldave4933]

You have the BEST step-by-step guides on how to paint 40k, so far I've been following your Ork guides and, with enough practice, the results are out of this world, my Ork army is looking GREAT! Thank you! Your content is a gold mine! P.S. Ghaghskull guide next maybe?

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

brilliant I'm glad my content has been helping :D that means a lot. your doing the hard work though so well done and I hope you continue to get better and better. Gaz would be a massive task, so maybe in the future

[@Musement4life]

I’ve also just finished building my Dark Angels Combat Patrol, so this painting guide is a gem for me! This will be my first step into the WH universe 🤩🤟🏻 thanks for this! Your Deathwing Knight painting guide is also fantastic!

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

brilliant. I;m glad you like my videos :D make sure to have fun and take your time. Theres no rush

[@adinrademacher2000]

appreciate the shout out glad to support!

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

no bother :D I really apreciate the support

[@JesusGonzalez-it2sv]

You've done it again.... This is an amazing guide. I love it, keep em coming. I've completed my first space Marines watching your tutorials. And I am extremely happy. Wish I could show them to you. Where I struggle the most it's edge highlights. But these are my first minis. And you said it, I'll learn it and get better at it with time. So I don't beat myself over it I push myself to get better.

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

awesome I'm really glad your enjoying painting and I've been able to help. Highlighting is probably the skill that takes the longest to get to grips with but you'll get it. I'm sure you have already but make sure to watch my highlighting video :) If you want to show me what you've done then you can e-mail me at [e-mail]

Second to none, even Duncan. Amazing tutorial.

[@phoenixschafer5860]

I'm doing commissions for someone, and this guide was super helpful in learning how to properly paint the first legion. Thanks for a great tutorial!

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

awsome :) I'm glad I could help

[@lepszykomentator]

16:35 A little tip of mine: before red contrast, paint a little line of bright silver in both of lenses filled with white. It will make bright more natural 😊

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

I'll give it a try. I didn't think of that, thank you :)

[@Urimossinger]

Thank you, Michael. I didn’t watch the video yet but I am quite sure it will be useful for me. I am new to the hobby and recently I got the previous Combat Patrol box of Dark Angels.

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

I hope you find it usful and enjoy panting your combat patrol :D

[@joeschairer5340]

Just started painting recently, and this tutorial was fantastic for teaching the basics!

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

I'm glad. welcome to the hobby :) have fun painting

[@TM4CHII]

I just got into miniature painting a month ago and im loving it. This tutorial is really helpful as I was struggling with the highlighting. I'm gonna use it to help me paint disciples of caliban chapter

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

welcome to the hobby, glad your enjoying it so far. I do have a dedicated highlighting video that may help :D

[@austonian08]

Just bought my first intercessor set and using this tutorial to paint DA. Thanks so much , very useful for beginner!

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

awesome, I hope you have fun painting them :D

[@LordSquee]

Nicely done as always, Michael. Very cool and approachable as ever.

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

thank you. always apreciate the comments :D

[@travie123]

Just started my Dark Angels army and found your channel. Thank you for such amazing tutorials!

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

welcome to the channel. I'n glad your enjoying the content

[@chchdigitech]

Great tutorial. Really clear commentary and interesting discussion of implications of different techniques.

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

Thank you :) I really enjoyed this format of painting video :D I'm looking forward to more lik eit in the future. I'm glad you liked it

[@Calibretto9]

Found myself enjoying the contrast version the best. Little deeper blacks, with a bit less of the light green highlighting, lead to a more DA feeling mini. Sometimes when there's a bit too much highlighting it can start to, at a glance, look more like a Salamander. Great work and thanks for the video!

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

Thank you. I'm glad your enjoying the content

[@Brandedwolf]

This was great to watch and learn, thanks! Especially helpful for me as I'm getting back into painting after taking a 25 year break lol. Really loving contrast/speed paints. They are such a game changer for painting :D

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

welcome back to the hobby :D I love the contrast paints and for my own personal armies its what I mostly use. paint some highlights on them and they look great. similer to the marine at the end of this video

[@alexand8587]

This video is amazing can’t wait to try this out. Completely new to miniatures. This channel has helped a lot already

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

I'm really glad your enjoying the conent and its help you. good luck with teh dark angels and have fun :D

[@CharredDingleberry]

Man, i love your tutorials. You are my go to for Dark Angels and my Krieg army. I cant get the highlighting and red gun casing down like yours. Same for my plasma coils. So frustrating

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

Thank you. Time and practice 💪🏻 you’ll get there. I believe

[@ACoolDude.]

I'll have a look at this later but I already know it's great stuff

[@RizzleDigz]

I love this video and I love you. This video is on repeat while I paint, starting my very first army. I saw you did another DA video with the deathwing terminators, so if you ever fancy doing Ravenwing bikes I’ll be there, every day lol

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

I think there are some more dark angel tutroails to be made next year :)

[@RizzleDigz]

@@TableTopReadyKZbin can’t wait!!

[@adamsan7494]

Great video as always Michael. I think I prefer the darker look of the contrast painted marine. It's a bit more grim dark.

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

I love how the contrast marine turned out as well. just shows what you can do with contrasts :D

[@lepszykomentator]

Thank you for your work❤ I have always been painting them neon-like due to using GW's tutorial 😅 Can't wait to try your method-both classic and contrast one🤩

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

thank you. thats very kind of you to say

[@lepszykomentator]

@@TableTopReadyKZbin it's true-you are making GW's work to learn how to paint properly😊

[@Ptr16Trb]

I'm very new into this hobby and thank you soooo much for the tutorial. Crystal clear guidelines and easy to follow, liked and subscribed to your channel!

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

Thank you. Welcome to the channel :D I'm glad you like the content

[@RizzleDigz]

If I was painting a face without helmet for DA, what colours and order would you recommend?

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

go check out my beginner ultramarine tutroail or my terminator captain video for skin recipes

[@StephenKersker]

Dude, your content is well done and I have learned a lot from you

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

I'm glad :)

[@elperiperisauce]

Sorry could i ask what do you use to attach the models to the jenga blocks, like blue tack?

[@brendenconolly7161]

Great video, such a good, concise explanation!

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

Thank you 🙏🏻

[@noblegranader]

Next video how to paint deathwing, please.... Thanks by the way

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

I'm working on it right now

[@MotleySprueminiatures]

Lovely tutorial mate! Been great seeing you and your style develop and the channel grow. Hope you’re good, and will have to meet up sometime! Dave ☺️

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

thank you. I'm going to be at black dragon more playing games soon so hopefully I'll be able to catch up with everyone

[@MotleySprueminiatures]

@@TableTopReadyKZbin look forward to it mate!

[@robertengland1231]

Hi, excuse my ignorance but how do you, and what do you use, to mount the various parts of the figure and how do you manage to avoid damaging the finished part during dismount and assembly? Great Channel!

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

I have a dedicated video on assembling and getting miniatures ready for painting where i cover all of this :)

[@jameswood240]

Great video mate. Do you prefer moot green to skarsnick green for edge highlight? Think I prefer skarsnick

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

hmmm actually I prefered the skarsnik green. it was more regal and suited dark angels more. moot green is the current studio method

[@jameswood240]

@@TableTopReadyKZbin yea me to don't get me wrong still looks great but the skarsnick highlight is what I'll be doing and thank you for that particular video also.

[@RockTaco1000]

Where did you get that mold line removal tool with the long handle.

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

its a citedal scraping tool and I also like to use a needle file

[@khairulazmi6327]

how long should one wait to let a thin layer dry before adding on another layer? not many painting youtubers reply to this btw…

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

It doesn’t take too long to dry. I always say dry to the touch. It will also look glossy where it’s wet

[@khairulazmi6327]

@@TableTopReadyKZbinthank you so much! I'll try this alternative method :D

[@fearlessretaliator4997]

As always your highlighting has no equal Michael.

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

your too kind

[@DukeJohnny]

Can this be done using AP Speedpaints 2.0?

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

I've not used speedpaints but I'm sure it can. The steps and techniques are the more important thing I want people to take away from my videos

[@Kyojuruzi]

can you do that tutorial to orc?

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

I've got so many orc tutorials now, you should already find what your looking for :D but don't be surprised if I do more ork stuff in the future

[@austonian08]

How do you do the icons on the pauldrons?

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

most kits will come with a transfer sheet with all the icons on them. I talk about transfers in my beginner ultramarines and my very first video on the channel

[@austonian08]

​@@TableTopReadyKZbin thank you, big help.

[@aceofmaine]

Anyone else love dark angels green as a color. It's my favorite green

[@SmugLantern]

I love highlighting Moot Green onto Dark Angels Green. Feels fun.

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

mot greens a nice colour. maybe my favorite green infact

[@imakren9495]

What files do you use?

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

i like to use a curved needle file with a flat side

[@VicodinElmo]

I just cannot get on with Dark Angels Green. It’s just too dark for me. I love most contrast paints and am happy to use them but I feel like Dark Angels Green is just a smidge too dark. Much prefer the traditional method in that case. On the opposite end of the spectrum, Flesh Tearers Red is just *chef’s kiss*

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

I like to mix contrast paints as well to get colours I want

[@nachtmacher6237]

😊

[@bestgundammodelsperiod6503]

The only flaw with your tutorial is that the Squig Orange color was discontinued a few years ago. Otherwise, an excellent tutorial for painters of any skill level.

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

I don't know who told you that? its still available. I would check again :)

[@bestgundammodelsperiod6503]

Wow. My FLGS was wrong! Thanks for the heads up!@@TableTopReadyKZbin

[@TheDutchMitchell]

wow, that dark angels contrast paint looks absolutely horrendous. Not talking about your painting skills but more about the paint itself. Definitely not going for that one

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

contrasts are very different and take some getting use to but don't give up on em :P

[@ImpStyle1]

Hi man, excellent work as always. Would it be too much to ask you to make a tutorial of Raptors marines with your amazing painting style? Best regards

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

Thank you. I have plans to do some successor chapters in the future 🤔
