How to Paint Ghazghkull Thraka

[@ThePaintingCoach]

The new Ghazghkull model is phenomenal - and it was a great experience getting to paint one! Which is you favourite 40K hero model?

[@VeznansDeadbeatDad]

Me

[@aurelienmena4390]

I would go for Arhiman I just love his new model

[@benrichardson5662]

Strictly 40k wise my favorite is Ghazghkull. His model is so fabulously brutal. But if you include Horus Heresy, my absolute favorite is Rogal Dorn. That model oozes authority and defiance, which is appropriate as his Wall Name was Defiance.

[@ThePaintingCoach]

It's a cool model - the 30K version of him is great too!

[@ThePaintingCoach]

I love the Dorn model!

[@danielhammer619]

This Ghazghkull model is hands down the best model games workshop has ever made, and you have painted him like an absolute god. mere mortals can only dream of obtaining your painting skills.

[@ThePaintingCoach]

Haha thanks Daniel - I appreciate the kind words! Hopefully this video makes it straight forward for anyone to get great results!

[@danielhammer619]

@@ThePaintingCoach thing is, i started collecting warhammer 40k like 2 months ago and i did actually get my hands on the ork part of Prophecy of the wolf. As we speak im still painting a whole bunch of boys. after that ill paint the nobs, then the Meganobs, then makari, and THEN im gonna paint Ghazkhull thraka. Im just afraid ill screw up my painting so he doesnt look as epic as hes meant to. i will probably try to follow your video.

Im not even an Ork player but i need this in my life. What an awesome model

[@ThePaintingCoach]

Thanks for the comment! I haven't got any blood letters handy - off the top of my head I'd probably prime with grey seer and use blood angels red contrast all over them. Then I'd pick out some raised areas with some wild rider red - that should give you 3 distinct tones on the skin Hope that helps!

Hey I'm new to the hobby and was just wondering the pros and cons of contrast paint as I was watching ur death guard video and was wondering which one is better for painting in general and which looks better

[@ThePaintingCoach]

Hi Robert - thanks for the comment! In general I think traditional paints give a bettef result, although contrast are also great in the right context! Since their release I think I use them on every tutorial I do in some form or other That said you can get great results with contrast - the Death Guard is a goof example, as is my ork tutorial - I'd say contrast is best on organic items such as flesh, or cloth. Contrast isn't great on Spqce Marines or vehicles. As for which one looks best, that's entirely up to you ajd your opinion! I hope this has helped - feel free to ask any Q's - welcome to the hobby!

Yes you can, but I wouldn't bother doing the whole thing black - just the bits that will be black in the end

[@terrydactyl2077]

So I bought a few of the Vellejo metal colours. I don’t own an airbrush. Would it be ok to still spray can prime black and then just brush another base coat on all the metal parts with a large brush instead of Leadbelcher spray can? Or would a spray of the Leadbelcher can on the metal parts be better than the black even tho I’ll paint over with the Velho metal? I have a bit of Leadbelcher spray left. Been wondering if I still need to use it anymore or just stick to black from now on.

My Darkreaper highlight seems to have come out much lighter, any suggestions? My thought process is I probably didn't shake the pot enough or perhaps I need to pair it down slightly with a touch of black or could I get away with a dark wash over it to tone it down perhaps.

[@ThePaintingCoach]

Yeah you can probably tone it down with a dark wash - i'd finish the highlight first though with the other colours and knock it all back together for consistency - if you have black templar contrast thin that a bit and use it - or really thin some abaddon black (make sure you don't have too much on your brush). Use nuln oil as a last resort as it might look patchy

[@BBolloBB]
