just saw a painting guide back in the day for Age of Sigmar Khorgorath ...now after all those years and having the contrast line from many companies, how would you tackle that paint job?? i have the model primed in red but i think i will do it a re-prime with black / grey/ white and have your guide of the colors but with contrast..
I actually recently bought one of those JoyToy Blood Angels Intercessor figures, specifically to repaint the pauldrons into bone white with black rims. He's currently on my shelf, carrying a TV nicked from a bunch of diorama furniture I had on hand. Great tutorial, also, thank you for the tip on the transfers, I'd lose it if I tried freehanding their insignia.
Just remembered something when you painted those shell casings. I've actually found a use for that awful Citadel 'liberator gold' - It looks like brass and works well for casings, visually. Still applies worse than wood glue.
Have to admit, I'm not exactly a fan of the Blood Angels or their successor chapters, but any tutorial showing how to paint either red or bone white armour gets my vote every time. I have painted so many red Space Marines I've lost count, but still love to see different ways to achieve either darker or lighter shades of red. I also love the new terminator minis, so seeing how you paint one just makes me want to break out my paints and paint some just for fun, myself 🙂
Thank you for this video, I've been trying for many years to find a tip or video about painting Blood Ravens, but I haven't really liked any of them. The colors were either too light or too dark for my taste, but I really like your Terminator. Nevertheless, it is also interesting how many variants of the color for the Blood Ravens exist. I'm looking forward to more Blood Raven videos, maybe a vehicle or a hero. But thank you again for this video, it makes my weekend.
Always liked their color scheme. Makes me think of the pre-heresy Thousand Sons. I guess they even stole their color scheme... Hang on Blood Ravens have lots of librarians and the Thousand Sons are famous for being nerds too...
I'm thinking of getting into tabletop, and I would want to play Blood Ravens...but what's the point? They have no hero units. I might as well just go for my other favourite chapter Ultramarines for Calgar.
@@DuncanRhodesDRPA Thanks.. It should work like a reflector on car models. Shouldn't act like a candy paint, since using more inky type medium that likes to pool more in the crevices.
Hey Duncan, I got a question as a noobish painter. In a lot of your videos, after the wash, you'll go back with the main colour and "Brighten it back up" while avoiding the recesses. But, well, when I try to do that, I have a hard time knowing where to stop, and I generally end up with kind of an ugly line where the wash and base paint meet. You say to go over te flat surfaces, but like for something like a pauldron which is just one big flat surface, do I re-cover the whole thing? And if so, why shade it in the first place? Thanks for all the tutorials and video's, they're really nice.
I'm not Duncan but I can tell you that you should apply a thinner version of the original colour mostly where the light would shine on your model. If there's no general light theme, focus on the upper area. If you shade a pauldron the wash should naturally pool slightly darker on the bottom (don't use too much) and when it's dry you take the original colour, thin it a bit more, wipe most of it off on a paper towel and gently reapply the colour from top to about the middle of the pauldron to get a nice gentle gradient.
Not Duncan here but I would recommend you make sure you properly water down your paints. Base paints are always quite strong so its easy to go over board when reapplying. Also try and reapply using a "dabbing" motion. That way you'll get a cluster of dots that you can slowly build up to where you want it and you can start in the center and move out. What you can also do is water down your wash after you've over-brightened up and use that to bring it back down a little bit. Just keep practicing my friend. the more you work on it the more you'll get a feel for how much you need to add back. Hope this helped =)
Hey Duncan, what wet palette did you use? I've been struggling with mine as it's either drying out too quickly or it's just too wet. Any advice/help would be appreciated.
It looks like he's using Redgrass. I had Army Painter one before and couldn't attain proper level of water, it was too dry or too moist. Redgrass worked perfectly from the start.
if you use a medium grey on the ribbed joints and use a heavy black wash you basicly kill 2 birds with one stone. it will make the deepest parts black but keep the top ribbing highlighted :P cheating the whole thing.
I have a blood ravens army. I used khorne red double washed down then brightened up. I also made sure to dot in some colours from other chapters, to show the gifted relics
@@TitusVarus right now I have melts gifted by the salamanders, a bike from the dark Angels and raven guard, a dreadnought chassis from the Imperial fists, and another bike from the white scars.
Dawn of War was my real introduction to 40K, so I'll always love the Blood Ravens. I'm slowly stripping and repainting my Blood Ravens army as Ultramarines, but I may keep the Terminators I painted - I used the mirrored Honor Guard color scheme from DoW2 for them, and it looked great.
I'm a Guard player, but I always say that if I ever get space marines, even if just for the sake of having some, they'd be a squad of Blood Raven Terminators. So this is just the perfect video for me!
I've got a certain number of thousands points of Blood Raven, and they are the perfect excuse to add any chapters-specific units to your army: "- No Brother, we're not stealing relics, we're securing them. And yes, we also have secured these Deathwing Knights, Castellan, Wulfen and Lord Regent Guilliman. We just painted them in Blood Raven to, you know, extra secure them. Oh, that is some pretty Sanguinary Guard you've got here, it'd be a shame is someone were to... secure them..."
I love Blood Ravens so much. They are my main (display-)army. Even after a small excursion to the Dark Angels, I still love my bloody magpies the most. Such an incredibly satisfying and beautiful colour scheme. I feel like no one can really agree what red to actually use for the armor though. After looking at a lot of stuff, I think Pro Acryl Burnt Red fits the most, at least for me. But be careful! If you use a wet palette, you barely have to thin it if at all!
It is human nature to seek culpability in a time of tragedy. It is a sign of strength to cry out against fate, rather than to bow one’s head and succumb. Inevitably many shall fault the hands upon the sword which fell Typhon, the Ordo Malleus. But the Inquisition merely performs the duty of its office. To further fear them is redundant, to hate them, heretical. Those more sensible will place responsibility with those who forced the hands of the Inquisition. With some fortune, they may foster this hatred into purpose, and further rule their own fate by coming to the Emperor’s service. But ultimately, it was I who set these events into motion, with a single blow from my hammer, God-Splitter.
Make sure to lock the Rhino doors and keep moving when driving through Blood Raven territory. Stop at your own peril, only to find yourself sitting on a pile of bricks without a Rhino.
The second biggest reason why I don't play Space Marines is because I'd play Blood Ravens, but I also play Word Bearers, so I'd have 2 dark red marine armies.
I used the exact same 'bloody bird' decals from Etsy for my own Blood Ravens, only to find ForgottenChapters have now delisted them in favour of a new decal sheet with an entirely different symbol. Not sure if they had to modify the design as GW probably has copyright on the actual Blood Raven symbol. I'm not out of decals yet, but hopefully if I need a restock, they'll be agreeable to printing a few 'custom' sheets.
I feel as if everyone's been mind controlled into thinking Blood Ravens Terminators have a bone left shoulder. In the games the crux terminatus shoulderpad is always red.
I'm doing a blood ravens captain for someone at the moment and was getting a bit stuck trying to think of how to make it pop a bit more. This video couldn't've been better timed.
that poor brush... *triest not to look at my own brushes in simular situations* love the blood ravens, my first ever army I Painted was Theiving Magpies... i mean *cough* Blood Ravens!
The previous manager at my local GW vehemently hated Blood Ravens, as well as video games in general. Was always eager to trash talk the 40k games, and insisted Blood Ravens weren't canon. The number of people with Blood Raven models randomly rose.
I have over 10,000 points of Blood Ravens, so I've gotten VERY good at painting them - always nice to see more being 'acquired' ;) I use Flesh Tearers Red instead of Khorne, doing the panel by panel contrast trick (except for vehicles, contrast don't work on vehicles lol)
I will be putting this into my memory folder, for when I need to paint my Blood Angel's terminators from Space Hulk. But for now I have an entire army of Dweghome from Conquest to paint.

To keep it thematically, I don’t paint Blood Raven. I wait for someone else to, then I steal them.
Touche
🤣🤣
It's been ages since I painted one. To keep him thematically accurate I armed him with a Space Wolf rune blade and a bolter nicked off a Blood Angel.
I think that might have been me
All my Astartes based Kill Teams are Blood Ravens. My last holdout on Citadel paints is Khorne Red
Blood ravens always have been an awesome scheme. I'm definitely gonna revisit their scheme. I painted a squad as them more than a decade ago.
They nicked my brushes!
Hahahaha...mine too!

Great painting method.
Im gonna take it
Steal away...
Great idea. After all good artists borrow, great artists steal.
This brought back memories of Dawn of War. One of my all time favorite game opening cinematics ever
I appreciate the recap at the end. Good idea to provide that final reminder.

Go for it!
Blood Ravens are unknown successors.
I had a bunch of spare bits from different chapters, so of course, i HAD to start a Blood Ravens Kill Team.
Finally you did it ❤ thank you!
Love blood ravens!
So cool! Love it
Thank you! Cheers!
I have just started painting some blood raven tactical marines 😎
Love a good Blood Magpie!
Masterclass. Cheers
Awesome work! Thank you very much for this tutorial!
Dawn of War is a great duology!
I use the first dawn of war as a reference. Black aquilas, gold for captains. Just like Davian Cool.

Is this the video where you tried swatting a fly buzzing around in your face, Duncan, and Roger losing his s**t laughing so hard? 😆
That's the one!
Booyah!!!! @@DuncanRhodesDRPA
@DuncanRhodesDRPA "FLY?!"
"You're still going on about the fly aren't you? *laughs* Cmon,man I've still gotta put a transfer on this thing!!!"
Duncan, wouldn't a silver or a chrome base work better for the eye base. Then add the lens colour with a speed or contrast?
Thats an intresting idea and worth a go.

Blood Magpies.
Bob Ross is that you ?
Maybe.... 🤫
Still hoping for turnip 28 minis
Nice, but BR terminators actually only have one white/bone shoulder. Look at intro to Retribution, you can see it clearly :
if you use a medium grey on the ribbed joints and use a heavy black wash you basicly kill 2 birds with one stone. it will make the deepest parts black but keep the top ribbing highlighted :P cheating the whole thing.
steal? tut tut tut that's a naughty word the Blood Ravens never steal, they simply borrow and give back to the opponents if they win the battle.
it doesn't have that rich orange warmth of the first two games unfortunately, more like fleshtearavens
I have a blood ravens army. I used khorne red double washed down then brightened up.
I also made sure to dot in some colours from other chapters, to show the gifted relics
Ah yes, the gifted relics. The last Blood Raven I painted bore weapons gifted by both the Space Wolves and Blood Angels.
@@TitusVarus right now I have melts gifted by the salamanders, a bike from the dark Angels and raven guard, a dreadnought chassis from the Imperial fists, and another bike from the white scars.
I’d recommend starting with Reliquary Red spray tbh 👁️👁️

I remember that White Dwarf number where a member of the GW team had a huuuuge BR army painted for Medusa V.
Very impressive.
Do you know the WD number? I remember that campaign in the White Dwarfs but cannot find the one with the Blood Raven army for the life of me

zandri dust + baal red is also a great alternative base coat that makes the bone accents really easy to layer on

Blood Ravens have been my Space Marines since day one.
A shame GW no longer supports them.
Still astounds me those 8e rules came after DoW3 fumbled the bag the way it did
or use reliquary red

Deep striking

step 1: pay someone to do it
step 2: steal those models
step 3: ...
step 4: profit

Thank you for this, i dont care much for lore i like colour schemes and this scheme is ny favourite.
Got turned on to this channel watching Slimehouse. Excited to learn about how to paint properly. I’m an absolute newbie. Howdy from Texas.

Would love to see a vid for Relic's other OC army, the 412th Cadians from Winter Assault
Could have done with this guide last month! Done a 1k army of the thieving buggers, and hand painted the chapter symbol on all of em
I'm doing a blood ravens captain for someone at the moment and was getting a bit stuck trying to think of how to make it pop a bit more. This video couldn't've been better timed.
To this day Khorne Red is the best red paint for layering. It’s just so easy, effortless.
...no mention of Dawn of War and Relic Entertainment for creating the Blood Ravens? 😛
Hihih, I "stole" the terminators from the Dark Angels in my Alpha Legion!
I would love if you can put out the brand of paints you use. Or is that Citadel exclusively?
Sweet video! Can't wait to do mine like this, I am still in the course of getting them all battle ready first
Blood ravens make sure you bolt everything down so they don’t steal your pants
Nice work.
Love IT!
Please paint the glottkin 😅
I don’t know why but blood ravens and lamenters are just boss chapters
The state of that first brush was a bit painful to observe 😅 (i got one in the same condition just in front of me)
Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!!!!!!!
Put chips in it that show in the original color it was stolen from

Time to play that classic game again...
Coolest intro yet: ua-cam.com/video/gBgXH7eyRo4/v-deo.html&rco=1
Everytime I start that game! ⚔️
Duncan if your struggling man let us know I’m worried about you after seeing that brush
Its a work horse for sure!
Point 1, lock up your brushes and paints you don't need, 2 lock every escape for 2 inch models out of the room - just in case something is misding
Yes! Agree 100%
This is pretty cool, it is also the 20th anniversary of dawn of war! Thank you for sharing it Duncan.
You can hear that base coat brush screaming for help!
It has now been retired but it does come out every now and then.
What kind of palette are you using?
Red Grass 👍
I have over 10,000 points of Blood Ravens, so I've gotten VERY good at painting them - always nice to see more being 'acquired' ;) I use Flesh Tearers Red instead of Khorne, doing the panel by panel contrast trick (except for vehicles, contrast don't work on vehicles lol)
