How To Paint SOLAR WATCH Adeptus Custodes including how to GLAZE power weapons for Warhammer 40,000

[@mrhaast5053]

What's really great about this tutorial is it's a much more noob friendly approach to white armor. So many tutorials for white armor do all the white details first and any darker tone after which leaves very little room for mistake for newer painters.

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

I’m really glad you think so. I always think about the best order of things rather that painting each detail at a time. I think about the model as a whole. In reality I’m a super lazy painter so my goal is to paint in as few steps as possible in a way I can be a bit messy and carefree about it but still have it look good 😁 that’s my style 🤪

[@MisterGizmonator]

Love the side-by-side comparison after each step!

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

Thank you, I think it's a great way to show all the steps together and helps visually

[@MisterGizmonator]

@@TableTopReadyKZbin agreed. I find it difficult to realize what effects some painting steps have in other videos, or when I paint myself. This takes the guesswork out and shows that every step is worth it (or can be skipped if you personally want to save some time).

[@someguy5227]

I really like your method of painting white armor, it simple and easy to replicate! Plus that power weapon tutorial is very noob friendly, I definitely have to try it out!

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

Thank you as always ☺️

[@diegog.1675]

Really good tutorial. All your videos are great, and while noob friendly, you get a very clean and great final result. Keep up the good job. Would love a Salamanders tutorial tbh.

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

I will be doing some space marines here and there regularly amongst other videos. In my mind it will be blood angels then dark angels then salamanders. So I would expect one in the next couple Of months hopefully 😁 thanks for the comment

[@diegog.1675]

@@TableTopReadyKZbin That's great. TBH I'm learning and have a lot of Space Marines to paint (damn Imperium collection, lol) so I would try to paint them in more thank 1 chapter. Looking forward to see more :D

[@leec1977]

Been looking for a simple but effective power sword look. Tyvm 👍

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

No problem. I’m hopefully gonna do a dedicated glazing video in the future

[@liamstewart3563]

Just started out and have been watching your videos. There easily the best on here and have been helping me greatly. Great vids.. 👍

That’s a huge compliment and really appreciate it. I love making these tutorials and I’m looking forward to getting even more out 😁

Great tutorial and you've become my favorite, go to channel!

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

Wow that’s a huge compliment, thank you so much. I’ll try to keep the tutorials coming

[@Supasplat171]

Love how clean this looks, following it for my Custodes

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

Good luck 😃 have fun

[@mirage809]

That guy looks stellar. Really pops off. Not as shiny as a regular Custodes, but still a very striking scheme that will look the business in an army. Also really digging your choice to go with clear bases for your models. Some would call it lazy, but as far as I'm concerned the clear bases just mean that they will fit in on any table.

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

I'm all about bright and vibrant. I like using the clear bases as well for my videos because it puts all the focus onto the miniature and some part of it is laziness haha so I don't have to worry about doing the base as well. a couple of my own armies do use these bases and it does help them fit into any kind of themed table

[@gedmcloughlin866]

Your tutorials are some of my favourite on here :)

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

Thank you, that means a lot to hear that

[@juanvasquez1576]

Amazing job man, this is by far the easiest color scheme tutorial, like the colors are basic and barely used wash, Amazing Job man thanks a lot!

Thank you for the lovely comment. I’m glad you enjoyed the tutorial 😁

Nice. Doing a Custodes Kill Team just now and these vids have been a real help.

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

Awsome. A custodes kill team? Surely that’s just 1 miniature then haha glad I could help 🖖🏻

@@TableTopReadyKZbin 4 actually! But yeah- quality over quantity.

[@andro4885]

My favorite Custodes scheme looking really awesome and fairly easy to paint. Thx for the great tutorial. Looking forward for more.

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

Thank you very much. My main aim is to come up with a nice and easy straight forward paint scheme to get a really great looking result 😃

[@padwicin01]

Lovely tutorial, love the edits and I appreciate it probably took you some time to put this together. Thank you!

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

I appreciate the appreciation. these videos do take some effort to put together and I wish I could do it faster, but I all the effort is really worth it knowing how much people enjoy them and find them useful

Man this was such a fantastic vid. Like you done this in such a way that makes me confident in giving it a go now .

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

Thank you and you’re very welcome

[@verdant9644]

Hey, what size brush do you use for the base coats?

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

I believe this was back when I used a size 1 Windsor and Newton series 7. Don’t worry too much about the size. Just use a brush you like to use

[@8BitJesus]

I love this, great work dude

Thank you very much 😃

[@hellglazer]

Great video mate!

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

Thank you ☺️

[@Euphorya]

Nice! I've got some Stormcast Eternals I want to paint and I think this technique will translate really well to those models.

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

Ooo that sounds like a great idea. 🤔 I recon this colour scheme would look amazing in stormcast. Do it 💪🏻

[@MoonlesssNight]

Good video! Can’t wait to see what you do next. Could you do a ADMech model next?

[@GannonYoutube]

Nice tutorial you earn a like and comment on this day may the emperor bless you

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

Thank you :D

[@Axquirix]

Good tutorial! Jist picked up a bunch of cistodes second hand and wanted to ise thos scheme for them, though Om thinking of trying to simplify it further and replacing everything between spraying and the sepia recess shade with a very thinned down skeleton horde contrast wash. Could even go over the gold too with little difficulty, will have to experiment.

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

skeleton horde contrast would work. I would still use lahmian medium as contrast medium dries quickly. make sure if you're not going to paint a base colour then you'll need to not miss areas with the spray. good luck :D

[@warmasterraven1447]

Those robes are clean!! Could we get a tutorial on how to paint the Genestealer Cult Neophytes?

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

I would love to do some GSC I’m just not sure when that will happen though

[@tenebras]

Amazing tutorial best of the best

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

Thank you very much 😊

[@WampaStompa1996]

I think when I get into the hobby I might use this color scheme for my deathwing terminators. I definitely want a more light bone colored scheme for my deathwing.

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

This would be great for some deathwing. I would like to do a tutorial for deathwing, maybe I’ll have time after 10th has settled

I love bone color schemes but if I want to paint purple robes instead of red ones, which colors would you recommend? Also do you plan on doing sisters of silence too?

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

There are so many things to paint and not enough time. If i do sisters of silence, it won’t be in the near future. For purple robes I would use naggaroth night and xereus 👍🏻

[@MrLocurito]

great tutorial, just a question tho, isn't there other options for the highlight on the golden parts? silver doesnt look that good for my liking and it looks like, uh... a silver shoulder that was painted gold on top

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

Thank you. I agree there are other ways of highlighting gold and it’s personal preference. I never think the way I paint my miniatures is the only or best way. I just hope people can gain a bit of Inspiration for painting their own. I use stormhost silver personally because I like my highlights to really stand out. You could use liberator gold or Auric gold if you wanted to avoid silver.

[@nayhaun6300]

Just a quick question, what are the things you're using to sub-assemble your models? I see a small spike coming out of the arm socket where you're then able to glue the arm on. What is that called and where perhaps can I get it? This is definitely the way that I'd prefer to put my models (Especially Custodes) together.

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

I do have a video going through all of that. I show you how to get your miniatures ready for painting. 😃

[@daitrigger179]

Great stuff buddy how long does it take for you to paint a table top standard mini?

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

It really depends on what your painting. I can take a week painting a unit of upto 10 miniatures or a large character. Depends how I’m feeling ha

[@pagesofkelly]

Can you use regular acrylic paints and distress paints or does the paint have to specifically be for miniatures?

[@TableTopReadyYouTube]

The only thing you want to be aware of is what kind of paint it is. Mostly paints for miniatures are water based acrylics. As well as citadel you have the Vallejo range and army painter range. You can paint your miniatures with anything you want really. The benefit to a range like citadel is the variety of what’s available to use. People use oils, enamels etc etc. Just try things out. If is a cost Reason then the Vallejo range is a great price wise.

[@pagesofkelly]

@@TableTopReadyKZbin Ah okay, I was just wondering what my options were with paints before I start painting my Necrons. Thank you for the info!

brilliant, I'm glad my videos have been helpful. there is quite a few reds to choose from. If you check out some of my other tutorials, I cover a few different ways to paint red. You have the weapons in the Black Templar tutorial, gun in the Flash gitz tutorial and even th ehead in the Tau commander tutorial. if you watch those, you can see yourself what it coud look like. But if it was me I would use Khorne Red, Evil Sunz and Fire dragon Bright.
