[@HispAnakin42]

I really want to see you paint something with the Salamander legion. Either with a really bright vibrate green or the opposite with a dark rich green.

[@graefx]

The glazing on the greaves is a technique I'll never tire of seeing. It's amazing how good it looks for what looks to be a relatively simple but patient process I need to practice more.

[@spikeydood4241]

As always this video was entertaining, educational and inspiring...then all of that was forgotten as I almost died laughing at that last out-take. We do have something in common Chris LOL!

[@klakhouse]

i like that youre always repeating "be patient" it's one of the hardest things to do, but very important. and the bit about letting the paint dry on the brush for very small highlights is a good tip. it really works. it's almost like a super controlled drybrush.

[@RFhe]

Your edge highlights are crisper, and more precise compared to the box art which has much more defined, and desaturated edge highlights. I think both are cool! Thanks for the short tutorial

[@nekrataali]

Box art highlights also look brighter with less transitional blending, like it's just one bright blue highlight. This video has blends going into the highlights that are darker and closer in hue to the base armor. Box art probably looks better at a distance because of the contrast (like, say, if you were looking at the box art from across the room in a shop), but non-box art probably looks better close up when you can see all the detail.

[@hughwoodford]

@@nekrataali you guys are tripping the box art has way more volume and light transition towards the edges than trovs, and like all modern GW box art the edge highlights have a diffused pre-hilight running up to the point the final crispy edge hilight is added. Trov simply doesnt do this at all.

[@sammyb_tcg3485]

I started off with the Elite edition starter set. I painted the Necrons how I wanted, but went for box art style with the Space Marines. I learned so much more from painting the SM but the Necrons allowed me to express myself. Both very fun and different ways to engage!

[@kristoff7049]

Awesome as always and thanks for keeping the outtakes in! I love it when Content Creators do that sort of thing!

[@paintfrenchy4735]

You have no idea how happy I am seeing the outtakes. I have recorded a 2nd paint video for my channel, but I am really struggling with the English and flow how talking in another language. I'm glad that pro's like yourself do make mistakes from time to time. Also the paintjob is epic and you nailed in my humble opinion. Love your work!

[@yfz450rider39]

You nailed it!! I kind of like the cool white that you used, and the gold recipe is awesome!

[@ThomasGCuneo]

I love that you're making the videos that you think are fun to make. Love your content!

[@isisnmagic1812]

Great video, love to hear that I'm right In not trying to do the box art as they do, you hit it out the park.

[@tombrand236]

Very interesting video as usual mate. Love that model too!

[@Mikikumpel]

Bold of You to assume that in early 2000's Poland there was a hobby shop with Warhammer, somewhere else than the Capital :v

[@stmirren2912]

Great videa as always!! Would love to see you paint up a primark like magnus like the box art would be great to see!

[@landocommando3021]

I love my Salamanders supplement, I can look at all the perfect paint jobs for ideas and all the cool stuff.

[@Demigodish4o3]

I love the vid! I was always wondering how they approached the darkened leg's bottom half, so i'm super glad you asked around. As for the end result, it's amazing. The only difference my eyes caught quickly was the lack of "edge highlights" but on the recess edges of the armor.

[@alexjohansson1476]

Love videos like these, informal and easy to follow and nice to get the nostalgia vibe. I would love if you did some 90s style eavy metal and painted something of the old Tyranids range (pic the old hive tyrant) 😁😉

[@Nick-fh4wd]

Amazing video as always. These are actually my favourite types of videos. This is just my own dumb theory but I think in the heavy metal studio they might have a dozen painters all collectively working together on a single marine. Along with some amazing camera setup and proffesional photographers? I think you made it match as much as humanly possible, with the possible exception being your highlights not being quite as bright, and taking liberties with the white. Thanks for another great video

[@pgabrieli]

that's (not surprisingly) an excellent final result. but I still think the base colour is not the same as the reference picture. to me it just looks a different shade of blue. also the reference picture edge highlights appear brighter. I would say a 8 or 8.5 out of 10. I would love to see the death guard next :-) thanks for the always-excellent content

[@quahodron2756]

1st: It looks great! 2nd: I would give it 8 out of 10 in terms of "how well did I copy the original box art". 3rd: I would REALLY love to see you copy the box art of the relatively new Shadowvaults Necron kill team with dark green and black armour and grey faces.

[@christopherheintz2634]

OMg I bought that original chaos box. It was aweseome, I loved the Khorne beserkers.

[@ikemike4]

Love this type of video, so easy to be inspired by the techniques.

[@BanjominWalker]

As someone who only paints box art (because I'm not confident to come up with my own schemes yet), this was great.

[@TheClassicWorld]

Just in case you need this, or want it: (1) Google Images; type in, 'colour schemes [insert X here]'. This is one of the best ways to see what others have done to whatever model it is you are painting. I remember discovering this little 'trick' on the local library computer around 2009. I still remember one of the first things I saw were 'Nids in black and yellow scheme. Still not done a good job of copying it. Yellow is quite difficult to work with/understand. (2) Go to a colour wheel online (there are a few, and some offer different things). All you really want here is to actually make a good colour scheme (which I assume is what you struggle with). These colour wheels online tell you every colour and match it to 1+ other colours. I even saw some lectures at uni where the prof. cited certain colour wheels online for his students (unrelated to Warhammer). Two notable ones are the one at Sessions and also Paletton. (A key term here is 'colour harmony'.) (3) After that, it's really just a matter of impression. Do you want orange to maybe indicate danger, or else a welcoming feeling in the viewer? Do you want red as to indicate war/power? This is what you must consider at the same time as step (2). This is easy enough to understand, because you just have to type into Google: 'symbolic meaning of [insert X colour here].' In reality, most colours have two meanings, sometimes opposites (that's always interesting, such as with orange). And, most of these are not actually symbolic but deeply rooted in biology/psychology (known as 'colour psychology'). A fairly simple colour to explain is how green often speaks to nature and life, and is very appealing to the eye (hence the world is largely green and we evolved for such). On the other hand, certain greens (relative to whatever the object is, since it's relative) speaks to illness. Then, maybe more complex and no less interesting, is the fact green is also the symbolic colour of envy/jealousy. (Sadly, people have misunderstood this due to the Hulk, and believe green speaks to anger; that is, in fact, red.) Some famous examples are clearly Jekyll and Hyde (if you see the 1922 movie or whatever, you notice that they used green effect when he changes). Shrek is a jealous, green ogre. Hulk is a green jealous monster, not a rage monster (plot twist, I know). Green Goblin is also jealous (of Peter Parker and pretty much everybody, that's part of his deeper psychosis). A hyper popular -- and very interesting -- example might be Harry Potter's Slytherin: this green house could be seen as a house of jealousy. Jealous of other people's fame, well-ordered family life, love, and/or ability. Harry all but states this directly to Voldemort later on in the story (and it's pretty clear that Tom was very jealous as a boy before becoming Voldemort). The deeper connection here is between nature, disease/illness, and jealousy/madness. Very cool, and useful info beyond Warhammer painting. Naturally, I highly suggest you jump down this rabbit down if you can -- there are some helpful artists/videos out there, too. I'd also suggest certain psychological videos/lectures for a far deeper understanding of what all of this actually means and how you can tie it into your themes (for your games/armies/displays). For example, Jordan Peterson's 2017 Maps of Meaning lecture series on KZbin has a vast well of extremely significant info for building Warhammer stories, and really understanding what makes them tick. Make no mistake, the pro painters do all this and know this, either consciously or subconsciously. Many pro painters will go so far as to draw inspiration from random books they are reading (such as Scott from Miniac).

[@Sacrilege7294]

I think it looks amazing. Yours is much more colder, compared to the compared mini. In fact, you even mention this on the shoulder piece with how warm the guy's shoulder pad is. I think it's cool, since you followed a tone, since a warm detail would be completely different to the cold tones you brought even to the white tone.

[@simoncarter4576]

Love this idea of unlocking and exploring how to get those box art schemes

[@briancollins2693]

I use a similar method for shading my golds. I use darkoath flesh contrast for mine, however, and find it gives a very similar result. Wonderful video as always.

[@marcwittkowski5146]

The painting of the greaves reminds me of my way of painting my Alpha Legion. I give them a basecoat of teal, followed by glazes of deep purple towrds the shadows and turquoise/green towards the highlights. Just on all surfaces, nut just the legs. Lovely job on that Ultramarine. You captured the style really well!

[@J4wsh1nAround]

As someone who like to paint their minis close to box art. As well giving my own touches to a paint scheme. I love these kinds of videos. I think it would be cool of you recreated Szeras' box art.

[@judsonbates1359]

Agreed! Necrons, at first glance, are very straight forward but having a pro painter demonstrate how much nuance there can be in a more straight forward design would be very cool. Plus, I love Necrons.

[@DD-lm1gv]

Skilled artist. Beautiful painting!

[@onedollarminiatures.]

Another top notch video trov! 👏

[@paintbusch]

Great video. Like it very much an easy to follow. Would love to see you try your hand at an Eavy Metal Imperial Fists and Black Templar

[@Brendawgy2010]

Fantastic paintjob, I feel like the Blue you chose reminds me of some Ultramarine HH novel cover art, a deep, royal blue. As for your end of video prompt, I would LOVE to see your take on a White Scar next, I feel like the White accented by the red and gold is one of the coolest looking colour schemes, and it looks so fantastic on the new Horus Heresy marines. Cheers!

[@paulhiggins8634]

Another great vid 👍 love the bloopers btw 😂

[@rtl97]

Oh man, take me back to the more simple times of when that chaos army box came out

[@kubekzpiciem]

I'm gonna go with 7/10, I prefer your version tho, the highlights aren't as obvious, which I prefer. Next box art - 40k daemon prince with backpack and sword

[@PerMartin87]

When I saw you hold the oldhammer chaos knights I got really happy, I would say that those boxarts are more interesting since the details are mostly not as crisp as the newer models yet still were(are) amazing

[@mhumienny]

The right light is very important to compare. The original one has clearly light from the front, reflecting on the base it can make stronger highlights on front leg (right) and torso that is closer to the camera. Anyway, it was pleasure to watch ;)

[@trovarion]

Yeah, i realised that after i took my pictures - mine has a softer light from all sides, theirs has relatively harsh light from the front.

[@hoshi314]

huh i was looking for the contrast and shade for the gold cuz i had this hilariously roundabout way of Slapchop : Candy Tone Ultrasmurf and was looking on how to get that gold. Thanks!

[@rjlarose5271]

Would love to see more of this

[@tomfagrell7357]

Amazing, as always. As far as the likeness to the box art I think the major difference is that GWs edge highlights start a LOT thicker than yours With the first highlight being almost a couple millimeters. Then working toward razor thin with the brightest colors.

[@j1g2w3]

Very nice, thanks for the video. The one bit of information that I find is often missing from videos like this is how long the model took. I know it's difficult to judge when you're filming at the same time, but even a rough estimation would help people manage their expectations for getting a result like this.

[@zazen69]

Nailed it! Would love to see a Necron next. I wish GW would just release a guide for the exact way to paint the box art.

[@markdorn8873]

I appreciate your frustration with box art edge highlights. I try to make mine realistic, and constantly fight to ignore what the artwork shows.

[@beybladechallenge7536]

Thank you, for the outstanding video!

[@Gorbachoph]

Great video, picked up a lot of tips.

[@MelkorBauglir25]

Really very very close to the box art, awesome. I really would like to see some Seraphon box art.

[@kunzdima1297]

Nice to see that even a painter like you does think youself. Thanks for the content

[@MrZacharyMc]

I’ll give you an 7/10 for following the box art. Their highlights are much more broad and defining. That being said I greatly prefer your paint job for the same reason. Those wide highlights make the GW mini look washed out while yours remains saturated. I might lose some detail in the shadows but that’s more realistic. GW is advertising the model, we, as painters, aren’t confined by that need. We get to hide and highlight selectively.

[@rickyspanish6596]

I had a gamesworkshop store close to my house, but it closed down before I could get too into it. Quite sad really.

[@chacrawarrior]

To be frank, they look very diferentes your work from the image. "BUT" your works is really great too. I can see you put a lot of effort and at the end it looks great too.

[@carlstanford7607]

Fantastic video. Cheers

[@eastoforion]

congrats, you nailed it! and while i agree those HH decal sheets are stupidly expensive, they're the nicest water transfer decals i've ever used.

[@davidhardy875]

I enjoy all the videos you do. I like that you tried to replicate the box art, but I think what would be cooler is picking a box art and adapting it more to your style. I’d also love you try some retro paint scheme on minis. I myslef like taking bright 90’s paint schemes and applying them to modern minis.

[@ieatstheinternet]

Box art rec - The Accursed Cultists - I tried paint these like the box and was way off and outta my league. Stunning scalps and fantastic box paint job. I'd love to see your skills applied to this. If I had to pick one model it'd be the one with tentacle arms with eyes all over. I found him particularly challenging.

[@Kampfgrot]

That Witch Hunters boxed set you're holding in the beginning would look awesome painted up...

[@Fr33styLLeR]

The Eyes and Shadow on the legs are absolute same amazing! Silver/gold is a bit more matt on the original same goes for the white shoulder/head (a bit to much blue) but in my opinion 7/10 to get as close to the box art (Ofc ur mini is still a 10/10 just for the comparision)

[@robinfox4440]

From what I understand, the 'Eavy Metal team rarely uses wash paints. They make their own washes and glazes by thinning other paints.

[@olivermansell8658]

Loved the video!

[@LT_Dan_1]

the tutorial was awesome, but I left a like for the outakes at the end! 🙂

[@maxbrandt6]

I think did a pretty good job, I heard somewhere that the shade of blue the Ultramarines applied to their power armor during the Horus Heresy was actually a bit darker than the shade of blue used in the current year of the 42nd millennium. Simple me paints an Ultramarine figure using Ultramarine blue from Vallejo because...it's in the name? 🤷‍♂

[@alpine7313]

I am 100% convinced that GW has 300% scale models that they paint for the box art

[@Haunting_Hyena]

"Because if this shade of blue isn't like the box art, its ruined. I have to start over." is the opposite of how I feel lol. If my mini looks like the boxart is when I feel I need to restart because I don't like painting the same as the boxart because most people do so. I like painting differently so they stand out more. Don't care too much about how colors are affected by lore because if I cared that much I could just make my own lore.

[@douglasreynolds76]

I prefer your mini over the box art mini. :)

[@robertvsgamming4649]

Id like to see you tackle the knight abominant box scheme next

[@mattsurrey6138]

Great video, LOVE your process. I'd say thats VERY close given you may be painting to another filtered image. I'm currently in the rabbit hole of matching Pro Acryl to GW Ultramarines box art (and my old GW formula). I love the pigment and matte of the Pro Acryl paints. I currently mix Blue, Dark grey blue and dark blue 1:1:1, then add more blue and dark grey blue, slowly building to blue and faded Ultramarine for the very top highlights. Your gold mix looks lovely, will have to give that a try. Thank you.

[@Bloodfencer1990]

I'd say you got a solid 8 or 9 on closeness. Leaning more towards 8. But it defintiely looks amazing!

[@pierstaylor4955]

Nailed the outro first time😁

[@DJHugedong]

Would love to see the Necrons that have the Dark Green/ Black shoulder pads done in this style!

[@AntonioElias-lu8dl]

Love all of these videos. The more I watch, the less I want to emulate the 'Eavy Metal style and venture into other methods. My favorite video of yours thus far is the Grimdark Blood Angel. I never appreciated the Grimdark style as I always thought it looked dirty. That was until I saw your approach. The model looked worn yet clean at the same time making the model easily readable. I paint Dark Angels and would love to see your take on a grimdark version of 40k Dark Angels. Maybe even with desaturated green for the highlights instead of the usual yellow Moot Green Games Workshop uses.

[@jamesrobertson5025]

Great vid. Love it keep it coming. Space wolves next time?

[@Valkelek]

I like the concept of comparing to box art. I think a lot of beginners are attracted to the mini's because of the box art, so learning how it was done is a good starting point. I vote for more of these.

[@nekrataali]

We also didn't have KZbin back in ~2000. The box art with vague details on the colors used was the only tutorial you had. It took me the longest time to figure out they weren't using just Goblin Green...they were mixing in Bleached Bone and Scab Red to get the highlights and shadows!

[@Thornspyre81]

Apparently GW does a lot of their basecoats as a 50/50 mix of the highlight and shadow color.

[@jamesgillam6478]

Would love to see some Tyranid stuff from you!

[@ThePraetoriarch]

I think your paint job honestly looks better then GW’s. Great content, as always.

[@shibahile]

When you shade the gold do you mix the shades together or one at the time? Love the idea of the video and would love to see more box arts done!

[@trovarion]

I'll be honest, I don't remember exactly how I did it - From the footage I probably tried the fuegan orange first and then the contrast paint very dilluted; just to modulate it a little further. The takeaway here I think is: You can modulate the gold with a couple of colors, browns, dark yellows, oranges - it'S good to try a few things and find a color you really like :)

[@patticusfinch139]

Adrax Agatone would be a cool box art to do. I’ve always wanted to see a professional tutorial on Salamanders

[@Mike79745]

Good video. I'm curious how would you approach Age of Sigmar Skaven Screaming Bell or any siege machine with a lot a wood

[@endetpandastudios3024]

the video is very calm wich i very like it was also inspiring and 8/10

[@igorbodnar9431]

New Slaves to Darkness minis next will be awesome!

[@TheTuorgustavo]

awesome video!

[@sempthegreat]

Would love to see you do some Word Bearers stuff.

[@Crivicus]

I would say a solid 7/10 for how close you got would have been an 8 or a 9 but you didn't have the grenade and pouch. Obviously there are quite a few differences in colour choice the darker blue and more neutral whites they use being the obvious ones. I would say overall your paint scheme has a colder but brighter tone. Great job!

[@evader110]

Let's see some Thousand Sons! I understand if you dont want to do more blue marines though.

[@judsonbates1359]

What size / type of brush are you using at 12:52?

[@Oluabayo]

GW definitly mess with the final images with enchancing and what not. If you look at the Goliath Truck still image(the glory image), it looks a lot different to the 360 degree images.

[@sebastiaanvandekerkhove2339]

I've actually seen this happen quite a few times when looking at GW minis on their site for reference. They often either heavily increase or decrease the saturation on the models for the display pictures for *some* reason.

[@georgemasonsghost4062]

The saturating part I get, it's an old marketing ploy that works. Circus colors draw the eye more than proper colors. I've noticed that desaturating as well, and I'm not sure I get why. I'd also add that lighting has a lot to do with it. Differences in color temperature of the light impact some colors more than others. The only accurate side by side would need to be done under the same color temp of lighting.

[@tuckertcs]

I like yours a lot more! GW's sword glow looks better, as yours is a little strong and big. Also I prefer the warmer white, though I'd call it a preference over being objectively better. However, your blue is a nicer tone (though camera/lighting may play a role in this), and your blue wash shading looks nicer. Also your edge-highlights are much nicer. They're strong enough to notice but not so strong as to be distracting. GW cranks the edge-highlighting to 12/10, where yours are more like a 9/10 (as in the contrast not the quality). Finally, your plasma glow effect looks a little better, as it's softer. They seem to have done a little edge-highlighting on the ribbed texture while you just washed it. Also yours has a better gradient from dark to light, while theirs is kind of at a consistent brightness across the whole part. Also your glow spills over onto the gun a little, for some subtle OSL, while they didn't do that at all. Oh also thanks for making great videos! So many of the KZbinrs I watch have gone from painting vids/tutorials to just random painting hobby videos with almost no actual mini-painting footage. Your videos are a great blend between painting footage and other entertaining content (i.e. you don't fill your videos with skits and memes to the detriment of the actual painting content).

[@JHadders98]

SO I know not really the same video BUT. Loved your video on the grimdark black templars, tried it out for myself, fiddled and got something that worked really well. BUT I was planning on painting some pre heresy Death Guard so of course a worn and chipped white would be perfect, any ideas on how we could transition your scheme or modify it to give a similar effect? If I am using rakarth flesh it provides decent coverage and to be honest the shoulders were too chipped for me but of course theres a limit of how much distressing you can do with lighter colours when using white or off white.

[@thetaz31]

They both look great. Though yours does look like the master version. Side by side you really notice how they over do the white on their edge highlights. The white increases contrast, making it 'pop'; but reduces readability.

[@cyberellawho876]

cheers learned some new things

[@HendrikMorkel]

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Outro!

[@uruk_bye1232]

Rackham: Confrontation had the best box art for a game, ever. I would love some tips on how to get to that!

[@andydogdad4349]

Personally I think you got close but your blue was definitely way off from the original but.... I prefer your shade of blue! But both were very well painted good job and good video

[@CupCakeUnleashed]

Id love to see some bright red corsairs

[@rubricmarine6857]

I'd love to see some Thousand Sons box art! But I'm biased. Lol

[@DrFruitsaladPhd]

Is the gold wash a mix of nazdreg yellow and fuegan orange or are they applied separately?

[@trovarion]

Fuegan first, then very little of nazdreg here and there to change the tint a bit more towards yellow!

Lovely painting as ever. Up close your painting has so much more detail but I wonder from even a foot away are some of the highlights lost. The only other question is: Is there more depth on the GW version's backpack vents or is it just the photography? Your vent looks more just a uniform colour. Maybe the silver in general is just a bit too bright? On their sword handle the silver highlights don't work for me at all and your gold looks much better. Finally, rather than proving you can easily paint as well as the box art - I think I'd have preferred to see a couple of ideas to enhance the painting. It all looks a bit bland, would a different plasma coil have enhanced the mini, and maybe a slight OSL effect? Would a more interesting sword have detracted from the simplicity of colour scheme? Going even further could a "slight" kitbash have improved the stance. All things I should try myself I guess.😆

I found at art's store a wonderful ultramarine blue,by maimeri polycolor,acrilyc for painting,and,for me,is more way cooler than box art color. A bit of medium (50% vinyl glue 50% water) for brushpaint or thinner (tamiya or 50% alchool for liqueurs and 50% demineralizated water) for airbrush. I made a redemptor priming it flat black,macragge blue base,vallejo magic and sky blue drybrish and then ultramarine blue. It's comes as an non metallic metal in some points,pure luck.
