Thank you! I try and make them so that anyone can keep up, regardless of their skill levels! I did make a Sisters of Battle guide quite a while ago now ua-cam.com/video/Pr-BMfCc5QA/v-deo.html it's probably a bit rough around the edges, but it still holds up

@@DrunkOnTeaUK Thanks, and that video is pretty good! Just watched it. 🙌

Thanks! One day I'll have to revisit the Sisters of Battle and paint some of the other Orders!

I'm glad you found the video useful! I hope you have fun painting the models! The more models you paint, the more comfortable with painting you'll become and the best the results will be!

You can fix this pretty easily. Drybrush on some Wraithbone over the skin areas, and it will bring the raised parts back to a cream colour and leave the purple in the in all the details.

You probably are putting it on too thick. If you're brushing on the paint like in this video, thin it with a bit of water, unfortunately, there is no set amount of water you need to add as every paint is different, but you want it so that as you pull the brush, the paint flows off flat without leaving any lumps, but not so thin that it flows everywhere. Multiple thin layers is always better than one thick layer. It can take 2, 3 or even 4 layers to build up to a solid colour. If you're using a spray can, short burts of spray and keep the can moving so the paint doesn't clog up any details, and just gives a fine coat of paint. I have made a video about priming ua-cam.com/video/5_IEobQtc7E/v-deo.html it covers spray can, brush on primer and using base paints as a primer

@@DrunkOnTeaUK THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH!

Thank you! I'm glad you found it useful!

Thank you! I hope you have fun painting your models!

The are fun to paint, pretty easy as well. Their lore is quite interesting, if you get some free time I would recommend reading up about the Raptors online

Yeah, when I made the video, the starter set wasn't out yet, so I was going off the contents in said in a Warhammer Community article, they then changed the gold paint.... luckily the two paints will work the same, just Balthazar gold is a bit less bright than Retributor armour.

Thank you. There are a few reasons why I drybrush Stormcast Eteranls but not Space Marines. The main one being that Space Marine armour tends to be smoother, so the paint would catch on the smooth services, not just the sharp edges giving an odd looking final appearance. Also with the starter Marine, I would have had to mic a lighter colour dry drybrushing, and in my experience, mixed paints don't drybrush as well, they tend to be a bit wetter, so leave streaky marks everywhere. Also the silver over a gold gives a nice impression of light catching all the areas, but as Space Marines tend to wear coloured armour, a dry brush doesn't seem to look as natural as the with the Stotmcasts

@@DrunkOnTeaUK that makes so much sense. Ty for breaking it down so well. Tbh, GW should use your tutorials for these sets. I was not impressed just straight up painting they did with no techniques. I really like that you delve into washes and mixing paint too. It makes it way less scary and seems super doable for a complete noob like me. Can't wait to try this myself 😁

🤣🤣 it just regular hands, just next to a small model! They are slightly larger than 28mm, I think the Space Marines now are closer to 32mm scale.

@@DrunkOnTeaUK Hey man! So I got the introductory set here, assembled one of each and think I'm about to start painting. But I also got a can of citadel black primer. Should I use it for the technique you're showing here, or is it only really applicable when drybrushing the base paint? (seen some girl do it and the black primer basically shades it for you automagically lol)

@@bravefastrabbit770 If you have primer I would recommend using it. It gives a better surface for the paints to stick to, and makes it a bit harder for them to rub off down the line. If you follow all the same steps after priming, the result will look pretty much the same, it may even take a few less layers when painting the blue, because it goes on a lot easier over primer than bare plastic. The technique for drybrushing over black primer is to build up a zenithal highlight, it's used a lot when painting with contrast paints.

I'm glad I could help! Keep on painting, the more you paint, the more comfortable you become with everything and the better the end result. But also always make sure you keep your first models somewhere, every few years it's great to look back at them and see how far your painting has come.

I don't think there are a set with these colours in unfortunately. A lot of painters will have these ones in their collection, as they are common colours used across a lot of different models, but they do have to be picked up separately.

@@DrunkOnTeaUK Oh, is that so. Is there any set you would recommend for a beginner that just wants to try painting minis space marines for display?

Welcome to the hobby! I hope you and your daughter have fun painting together!

Thank you!

You can use tamiya panel liner, it's a bit darker than nuln oil, but it will do the same job.

Thank you! Hopefully your results came out well, and you have a great looking Tyranid!

There is no primer in the starter set. Although a primer is always a good first step, it's not essential. You can undercoat with a paint, just make sure each layer is fully dry before painting the next. Before spray primers were easily avaliable it's how most people used to paint their models.

It's a painting handle. It makes it a bit easier to paint the model without accidentally touching wet paint. You can easily make your own by just sticking the base to a bit of cork or something with a bit of blu tack.

The only things I recommend getting are a cheap set of brushes, so you have more variety in sizes (smaller ones make highlights easier, larger ones make basecoats a lot quicker). Eventually you'll find what extra colours you need to save mixing paints all the time, but the most important thing is just time, the more you paint, the better results you will be able to achieve.

@@DrunkOnTeaUK Thank you so much for the extra advice. 👊

If there is an area that I will be drybrushing for highlights like the shield, it's easier to paint it first. That way if you hit any other areas while drybrushing it won't matter, because it's yet to be painted.

I would suggest black. I find a black prime gives a nice, strong colour when the gold is painted over the top. Using a Retrubutor Armour spray would be fine, and save time with the base coat, but, I find sometimes the paints from rattle cans have a different finish than the ones from the pot, so any mistakes would be harder to cover up

Thank you

I'm glad you found it useful. Have fun painting all those Nids!

There's no primer in the set, so I didn't use one. You can paint minis without a primer, a spray primer is better, but undercoating using a paint is fine. It just takes a few layers to build up to a solid base, and then you can paint on top. Before rattle can primers were common it's how a most people used to paint their minis.

Normally I would recommend a primer, but a primer wasn't included in the 5 paints..... Good luck with your Raven Guard army!

@@DrunkOnTeaUK would you still recommend the 1st coat of abbadon black if it’s primed in black?

I personally prefer the Warcolours paints. I have a more recent video where I compare Coat D'arms, Warcolours, and the classic citadel paints. Coat D'arms are a bit too thin for my liking, Warcolours give better coverage, so make it a lot quicker to get those retro paint schemes looking right.

You can use the black as a base coat. Normally I recommend priming a model black using a spray primer, but just using the paints in the set, there is little point in starting off black. Painting it all blue as an undercoat and base coat at once just saves time over painting 3 or 4 layers of black and then painting a few layers of blue on top

@DrunkOnTeaUK very cool. I think I'm going to get some primer

🤣🤣🤣 I didn't even think of Metroid while I was painting it....

I had so much fun doing this. I think a series may be coming, I wonder how it would work with some different races, random colour Orks? Pump kin is really cool, I'm beginning to think this colour scheme would have been ideal for a Halloween video.....

Edge highlights take a bit of practice. A good point to the brush is essential, but also try using a small brush, any cheap set will come with a tiny one, often a size 000, these are great for edge highlights.

@@DrunkOnTeaUK thanks a lot for your answers! Ill try that…and practice…maybe a handle like you are using could help also?

A painting handle can help, it gives you a more stable hold for the model. The biggest thing that will come with practice is not putting to much paint on the brush, it's better to only have a small amount of paint and have to top up after every line, than it is to have lots of paint and risk it running out of control.

Or, for a more grim dark feel, ‘The Hallow Tide’.

There is nothing wrong with silly names for Space Marine chapters. Sometimes, I think 40K needs some of its silliness back! The are really cool names, I can imagine "The Hallow Tide" working well, especially with some kind of Halloween style chapter symbol, maybe a spiders Web with a spider in the middle.....

A new chapter, name how about The Son's of Jaffa,

The chapter master is McVittie!

Thank you! Fingers crossed, they arrive soon!

A primer isn't a necessity at all. As I do here, you can use paint as an undercoat. The advantage of a primer is that it's a lot quicker, you can do lots of models in a very short amount of time. Also, with a primer, it does help with the paint sticking. Sometimes, without one, you may see the paint rub off in areas that get touched a lot.

For this one I am using the starter brush that comes in the box. The brush is quite large, so to apply the highlights just put a little bit of paint on the brush, and only apply light pressure. In the Space Marine video I recommend picking up a cheap set of brushes, then you'll have some smaller tips for applying highlights.

Thank you! I hope you enjoy the painting side of the hobby! This set is a great start to get into painting.

@DrunkOnTeaUK thanks so much! Hopefully it comes this week 😁

If i want to make a few of those with body red ( i bought a blood angel paint) and carapace wraithbone? How would you make the lines on it to stand out like you did?

The blood angles red paint is a contrast paint, so painting it over the wraitbone base coat should do the job of shading a highlights for you. For the wraithbone carapace, if you do the highlight lines with a pure white (like white scar) it will give you the same highlight effect

@@DrunkOnTeaUK awesome i will try it! Thanks a lot!

Yeah, this is painted without a primer. A primer is often better. It will make the basecoats go on quicker and stick a bit better. But, you can use a base paint as a kind of prime as I've done here. Just make sure to work in several thin layers and cover all of the model with one paint before starting to apply other colours. Just make sure each layer has fully dried, and it is absolutely fine to do. I think a lot of people like to make it seem like something that you need a load of expensive tools for. I started out (many many years ago) with just a starter paint set, a cheap set of brushes, an old plate for a pallette, and a mug for my water pot. Don't worry about spending a fortune at the start, the models cost enough as it is.....

Thank you! I'm glad you found it useful! Welcome to the hobby!

Thank you!

The paint and tool set is pretty useful, you'll need clippers, and it's comes with the paints to highlight, instead of needing to mix colours. I would probably recommend picking up the paints and tools set, and then a box of Intercessors. Then you can really get stuck in with 10 models, and by the end of it you will probably have seen how much your painting has improved over just a few models. Or the Introductory Starter Set comes with the tools, and the paints I used in this video, alongside both some Space Marines and Tyranids, so if you want to play it's a great box to quickly get some small games on the go and then grow the selection of paints and models from there.
