How to paint a Primaris Chaplain (Indomitus)

In this video I'll be showing how to paint the Primaris Chaplain from the Indomitus box. The chaplain is a return to the old style chaplain and looks superb with his bionic head and a huge amount of cool details on him. If you like the older Primaris Chaplain the video for him will be going up in the coming weeks.

I cannot believe how many times I said to myself "that's an amazing finished job" only for you to get a another bloody paint out

[@BrushandBoltgun]

Hahaha! Cheers Jordan, very much appreciated! :) Like the Spanish Inquisition, nobody expects the next paint. ;-)

[@Cgates642]

Thanks. I mean this thing looks amazing but I don't think I could go this far. But about 75% still looks amazing on the table. Thanks for this.

[@BrushandBoltgun]

Cheers Cgates642, very much appreciated! :) I wish I could stop myself and stop at 75%, I might actually have a finished army! :) haha

[@spacetoy4584]

hes very slick, face/head detail is top notch. looking at the handle for the staff makes me again realise where I get a bit lazy on my stormcast lol.

[@BrushandBoltgun]

Cheers Spacetoy, very much appreciated! :-) Haha, you know, my Stormcast all have pretty much the same exact paint job on those bits! It's a multi-purpose bit of painting. haha :-)

[@onerom1973]

I love your work is magic with brush you come back to life a piece of plastic, I'm like a child waiting for santa claus seriously

[@BrushandBoltgun]

Cheers ONEROM, very much appreciated! :)

[@johnphillips6515]

Great video. Its made me want to move my chaplain further up the paint queue!

[@BrushandBoltgun]

Cheers John, very much appreciated! It's such a good miniature, I really enjoyed painting it! :-)

[@jbnet211]

Will be using this to paint my Chapin

[@BrushandBoltgun]

Awesome, cheers Jason! Thanks for watching! :)

[@ged72000]

This looks great. I finished the Necron half of Indominus yesterday. Hopfully start the space marines Monday. Will be starting with this guy using your tutorial.

[@BrushandBoltgun]

Cheers Gerard, very much appreciated! :) The Indomitus miniatures really are fantastic, and I think this chaplain is one of my favourite ones. :)

[@power_SERG]

Perfect video, thank you!

Now its official.. you are my favorite GW Paintmaster on KZbin.. once again great Job Michelangelo.. or should i say Van Gogh? Greetings from Vienna.. best wishes..🇦🇹🇦🇹

[@BrushandBoltgun]

Cheers Jmike, really do appreciate that! :-) I hope Vienna is treating you well, it looks like an absolutely stunning place to live! :) I'll take either of the painters, so long as I can keep both ears, or paint the ceiling of a chapel with power armour clad marines? :-D

[@mikkkilandmine3675]

7 minutes in and your man is already looking amazing. Great job as usual

[@BrushandBoltgun]

Cheers Mikkki, very much appreciated! :-)

[@sachanewell5148]

Just getting through my Indominous box now - great videos man!

[@BrushandBoltgun]

Cheers Sacha, very much appreciated! :) It's such a great box, I was really impressed by it. I don't think there's a bad miniature in the whole thing! :)

[@wolfgangcomacho]

awesome video, i really like the book effect, looks fantastic

[@BrushandBoltgun]

Cheers Colin, very much appreciated. :) Made up with how he turned out. :)

[@BESTGINGEREU]

Great video, thank you for inspiring me to paint my own Chaplain, this is exactly what I needed!

[@BrushandBoltgun]

Cheers Total, very much appreciated! 🙌🙌😃

[@slash9559]

Fantastic!!!

[@BrushandBoltgun]

Cheer Patrick, very much appreciated! :) Was really pleased with this one, such a great miniature. :)

[@hobbybro3902]

Beginning to work on my indomitus box,watched this tutorial and the one for the Judicar. I’m debating doing all of the highlights now or later because I plan to use them in a game this weekend. Either way I still think it will come out looking pretty good. Thank very much for helping us mere mortals become better painters.

[@BrushandBoltgun]

Cheers Hobby Bro, very much appreciated! :) I'm glad the videos are helping. :) You have some treats to paint up in the Indomitus box, I don't think there's a bad miniature in there! :)

[@salahal-din7564]

Great, great, great job. The only thing that bored me is that standalone primaris chaplain I've bought before the Indomitus box seems a kid next to this new chaplain. Thanks.

[@BrushandBoltgun]

Cheers Salah, very much appreciated! :-) You're in luck, I've recorded painting both chaplains side by side, so the older one is coming in a few weeks. Love the older one too, they both have some great features! :-)

[@frontroomgaming2311]

Loved it, makes me want to try better in my painting.

[@BrushandBoltgun]

Cheers Jono, very much appreciated! :) Keep at it and it'll keep getting better. I can see improvements in my painting in the few years I've been doing this - I should probably do a newer Death Guard video to be honest! :)

[@adamfox1669]

Very nice ! Your work always motivates me to continue painting and expanding my collection. I've been coming to the realization that if I want to build 'modern ' marine forces, I need to decide whether it will be primaris or 'regular ' marine squads. Using both types in same force leaves something to be desired,...

[@BrushandBoltgun]

Cheers Adam, very much appreciated! :) It doesn't look too bad - I have a unit of traditional marines with the Lamenters because I wanted a Storm Raven.I liked the look of it so took the plunge, then realised that primaris can't go in it.../facepalm... :)

[@puppets1979]

I really appreciate all the work you do on these videos. My confidence grows with each model I paint using a lot of what I see in your videos. Just a quick note, I noticed when comparing my available paints against the list that Cadian Fleshtone and Reikland Fleshshade are missing from that list.

[@BrushandBoltgun]

Cheers Michael, very much appreciated! :) I’m glad you’re finding them useful, hopefully they continue to be! I love painting so if it helps people it’s all worthwhile! :) Cheers for the heads up for the paints, I’ve added them to the list! 😃🙌🙌

[@ELITESrBAMOFOS945]

I'm in love with your channel, you are so talented! I'd love to see your guide on painting the Carcharadons Astra, Storm Wardens, and Emperor's Spears chapters!!!

[@BrushandBoltgun]

Cheers Samuel, very much appreciated! :) I’ve got notes to do some of those chapters, but will add Storm Wardens to the list! :)

[@adamfox1669]

Awesome figure. One of my favorite new marines you did such a great job. I just stripped a few more ebay rescues in isopropyl alcohol (landraider crusader too!, with metal sponsons and hurricane bolters) enjoy your hobby time

[@BrushandBoltgun]

Cheers Adam, very much appreciated! :). Nice! Ebay is ace for getting miniatures, I've gotten loads off there over the years! Nice to get a decent deal from time to time :)

[@motherfungler420]

Great video, definitely giving this a go! I was wondering about highlighting this.. I'm painting the armour in Macragge Blue, would you highlight the armour before all the base layers? Or get all the base layers down and then highlight?

[@BrushandBoltgun]

Cheers Motherfungler, very much appreciated! :) I always try and get everything based and shaded before adding highlights, etc. I have a horrible tendency to get colours on the wrong section and it's frustrating to do that over highlights. I know a lot of people who prefer to paint one colour at a time though, so I think it's just personal choice. :)

[@richardmacpherson7647]

Love it...what did u prime him with??

[@stefankergl1900]

Saw the most of your vids and instantly dropped a sub. awesome painting skills! for me as a non native english speaker your dialect is hard to understand sometimes... just curious, what dialect are you speaking?

[@BrushandBoltgun]

Cheers Stefan, I really appreciate it! :-) I do try and speak slowly and clearly (believe it or not! I know I talk very quick sometimes) so will double my efforts! :) I'm from Liverpool, UK so speak with a Scouse accent :)

[@pedronottke6556]

Great job. I've seen a few of your tutorials and decided to make you my favourite "How to paint"-artist. What's your recommended varnish? Thank you

[@BrushandBoltgun]

Cheers Pedro, very much appreciated! :) 🙌🙌 To varnish I use Halfords Matt Lacquer spray can. It’s for use on cars I think, but gives good protection and looks fine. :)

[@zeorymar]

Nice Painted , but It's like a "Citadel Mephiston Dead" typo. Thank you. :-)

[@BrushandBoltgun]

Haha! That's a new colour, have you not seen it? 0.0 Typo amended, thank you! :)

[@zeorymar]

@@BrushandBoltgun :-)

[@thanasisgeronimos9124]

what kind of brush do you use??? its very tight and precise ...

[@BrushandBoltgun]

Cheers Thanasis, I use three brushes usually, a new(ish) Citadel Medium Layer brush - they have a great point-, an Mediu Layer Brush with no point (for doing bigger areas) and an Army Painter Wargamer: Character brush as they're really thin and have an awesome point. :)

[@christophergreen7560]

Hey what a fantastic tutorial. I was wondering if you would charge much of the red sections for a dark angels chaplain? Thanks !!

[@BrushandBoltgun]

Cheers Christopher, very much appreciated! :) To be honest I'd only really change the colour of the pauldron and the book on his hip to a green leather type colour. I think I'd keep the crozius handle red still, if only because I like them in red! haha :)

[@itsallpointless6501]

cool, did you ever paint that plague marine in the background?

[@BrushandBoltgun]

Hey Bite Sized, very much appreciated! :) I haven’t yet. I should do, I have two plague marines and two khorne marines from the same era! :)

[@itsallpointless6501]

@@BrushandBoltgun man that would be cool to see

[@bigmanfoamy4589]

I have a question regarding shades, due to partial blindness i have trouble with some colour tones, What is the difference between the shades, ive used agrax and nuln oil interchangeably and cant see a difference once its on the model, id like to know as what i see isnt what others see

[@BrushandBoltgun]

Hi Bigman, no problem, sing out if you have any questions, happy to help out! :) Nuln Oil is a matt black shade, so when it dries in recesses it'll dry black, and over surfaces (such as metallics) it will dull them down and give them a matt finish but still allow the shine of the metallic to come through. I tend to use it primarily on silvery/steel metallic colours. Agrax Earthshade is a matt dark brown shade, so when it dries in recesses it will leave a dark brown shade. Over metallics and other colours it will give them a brown hue, and can darken them a lot. I tend to use it to shade light browns, do oily runs and to shade gold. It's also ace for adding grime to things. So if you have an old piece of metal work, once the Nuln Oil is applied and dried, the Agrax can be used to add a grimy brown tint to the surface and recesses. Let me know if that's not clear and I'll clarify. :)

[@marcuswestphal1220]

Can I run a black chaplain in my primaris blue space Marine army?

[@BrushandBoltgun]

Hey The Blue Space Marine, thanks for watching! :-) I'm pretty sure the chaplains for most chapters are in black, so it shouldn't be a problem. :)

[@pappy374]

Are you a Red or a Blue, Rob?

[@BrushandBoltgun]

Haha! If I was to be one it’d be blue, but I prefer ice hockey to footy. Too many tense moments watching Everton and England over the years, I can’t cope with it anymore! 🤣🤣

[@pappy374]

@@BrushandBoltgun Yeah, watching England play football is an exercise in futility! We always think we will win the lot and then lose to Germany!
