@@funnyvalentinedidnothingwrong Further lore: it all stems from Tzeentch trolling, because Tzeentch kept doing innuendo with Slannesh but whenever Slannesh brings it up bluntly Tzeentch would go "haaa I didn't mean that, I meant it perfectly the other way as if to not reference the act of coitus at all just to get you riled up so you would be de facto under my influence, OR DID I?"

So the last Ultramarine looks pretty good for a beginner level, the Cadians at the end look completely fine for a starter. My first Cadians looked just like that.

[@TheD736]

To be fair, no one said they were bad, just that they needed to thin their paints or else the characters will start screaming in pain.

[@presidentofthegalaxy3642]

Honestly, all the cadians need to be on par is some shading and some facial expressions. Didn't see anything wrong with the marine besides it being a little sloppy

[@adahepper2665]

*Vietnam flashback intensifies* I remember a friend of mine when I was a teen who dipped entire chaos space marines in yellow paint because it was to difficult to paint them. Both me and his older brother felt physically ill after looking at those globs of paint on a base. We banned him from ever trying to "paint" again. so me and his brother did the painting part for him instead.

[@insertname7325]

I admittedly use to do that whenever someone would get on my case about painting.

[@arya31ful]

If he paints Emperor's Childrens, then it's completely appropriate.

Im imagining him dipping them in citadel paint the same way youd dip chips into a pot of ketchup sauce from mcdonalds

[@adahepper2665]

@@daigonmocs0785 yes exactly, but he used really big bottles from a craft store hobby paint. And than after the dipping he tried to paint over it using a big brush with more layers of thick paint. His models make most in this clip look good in comparison.

[@AMPMASTER10]

Nah let him paint. He will never get better unless he tries.

[@RazzorB]

Robaute is pretty good except face and flame. Looks like battle-worn armour.

Yah I mean to me that modle just tells me “ I’m good with armor, but I’m new and can’t do faces “ nothing wrong with a couple of the modles in the vid tbh

[@Solusist]

No, it's actually awful. You're just being fooled by the even worse catastrophes next to him. The paint is slopped on in thick layers that obscures details and makes the whole thing appear lumpy. Most detailing is ignored, look at the right shoulder pad in particular - the iconic eagle wing is just slopped over with the same thick blue as everything else. The few larger details that they've actually bothered with are extremely haphazardly done, with shaky brushstrokes and spillage all over the place. I don't even know what happened on the other should pad, it's like they started detailing it then realized they couldn't be arsed. There's not even an attempt at any shading or highlightning. The armour trims are completely ignored. The base is a grey and red mess. It's bad. It's really bad.

[@Eivissabelle]

@@Solusist jesus fucking christ you dont have to write a fucknig essay about it my god

[@janberkemeier7406]

The great thing about videos such as this is that we all see a little bit of our own first forays into the world of painting in it, and we can feel a little better about the progress we've made since then. Hell, my first Moria Goblins and Skaven looked depressingly similar

You can thin with airbrush medium or even water. Often a wet pallete is all you'll need. You shouldn't use lacquer thinner from Home Depot or something.

the cadians were fine. Hell, even as a beginner level that may not get better, they were more than fine. The Robot Girlyman near the start? I see nothing wrong with these. The idea that everything had to be super detailed, super shaded is part of what burns out new hobbyist. Hell, my last post showing off my newest buggies and my friend who tries to be "professional" but very rarely paints anyways.... gave me just one hell of a backhanded compliment.
