This tutorial is so great. It's very clear, well organized, well explained, and also it's also very nice to give so many details and cover so many parts of the miniature in that tutorial. Many Grey Knights tutorials only focus on the armour ! I really enjoyed watching it !
Exactly my goal for my tutorials. Moving forward I want to make in depth guides to painting factions that covers as much as I can do. Including shorts which you’ll see coming out over the next couple of weeks. 😃 thanks for commenting
You really can’t get any more detailed and organized than this tutorial. This was the explanation I needed for the different techniques in general as well as how to properly paint Grey Knights. Thank you!
I really feel the name TableTopReady is doing you a disservice Michael, this is another level! You’re going from strength to strength and your techniques and clear explanations are amazing, keep up the great work!
Been watching a tonne of your videos lately bro and can I just say - I love the little smile you do at the end of everything you say. It just warms my heart for whatever reason haha
I was really stressing and putting off painting my knights cause I want them to look perfect. Can't believe how simple it is to make it look this good! I'm really blown away. Thanks for the awesome Video ❤!
@@TableTopReadyUA-cam Aw you're welcome. I want to give back more but can't subscribe everywhere so I want to make it my goal to donate to every tutorial that helps me. :D
Oh and I can't tell you how much I liked the part where you did the loin cloth in the shorts! I think I will try that recipe for dark angels, too. The amount of time I've been trying to get cloth like that right but with the washes it always got so dirty and led me to scrap it all. :( Really like your clean controlled approach! :D
We’re all novices really. Most videos I’m painting these miniatures for the first time. As long as you know the techniques and basics that I talk about in every video then you can paint anything. Just requires practice 🖖🏻
Pretty sure you're the reason why I've stuck with it this time around. Even if I don't play Grey Knights your videos always have something I can use for my own army. +1, top notch stuff again, as usual.
Thank you. This is why I love making these tutorials, my goal is to always help people with their hobby and make it as straight forward to understand as possible. Thank you for this comment 😊
I've watched over 20 videos of Grey Knights in the last two weeks, and yours are by far the best - also and most artistic / original, like you have a vision for their look and not just a paint-by-number. I prefer it to the box art, even. They resemble the Grey Knights from Chaos Gate - Demonhunters. The beautiful blue highlighting you've done is sends these guys into orbit. I'm going to try and adapt your method to Speedpaints with an airbrush, but doing detail with brush. I've said it in a previous comment, but these really are amazing. Subbed, and thank you for making this video. It can't be easy to paint under a camera!
Thank you. your very kind. this is one of my favourites on the channel. they turned great and I'm still very tempted to paint an army, but I want to see a new range first :D
Then there's me who glued them together 100% already and thought the grey knights steel was meant as the main base colour so they look like sloppy blue abominations. Love it
Your not the only one. Don’t worry about having fully built them. To be honest they pretty easier to paint. As well you can use iron hands steel and layer up from the grey knights steel. Kind of doing it in reverse
Gk steel is a fine color as long as you don't lay it on too thick. It layers well with Leadbelcher. I use the airbrush versions of both so I can have a solid coverage silver with the blue tint. This creator is doing a much more detailed method meant to get miniatures parade ready, rather than the GK steel/leadbelcher combo that's Just meant to get them on the table.
I just glued mine all together only to find one of them has got his shoulder plates on the wrong way round (right on left and vise versa) 😂😂😂 Never mind. I'll do it this way next time lmao
Another awesome tutorial, Michael! I recently got back in to the hobby, and your videos are the best I have found on teaching the techniques needed to go from complete beginner to painting some awesome looking models. Clear explanations, focus on the techniques which make the most impact, and nice length videos (not too long). You're doing an awesome job bud, keep it up!
The great thing about your videos is that you can apply a lot of the techniques you show us to other miniatures and chapters like the leather pouches, or the tints.
Exactly the approach I like to take with my tutorials. I like to teach how to paint in general, it just so happens to be a certain faction for any given video. 😃
Amazing tutorial, I have never touched paint leave alone painting on a model before, this set is my first, finding right amount of paint, how to mix, where to mix how much water to mix, how to clean brushes etc it all took some time but even though with all that hassle, I didn't have any trouble with my first figurine besides technical stuff, you have everything very detailed, hopefully I will finish my strike team before new year's ^^
Thank you. I’m glad you enjoyed the video. I like to show as many different things in my videos so there’s something for everyone no matter what they’re painting 😁
Glazing the pattern on a blade is such an awesome technique and one with a surprising amount of applications. Once you get comfortable with glazing you can start applying that technique to volumetric highlights and once you got that down stuff like non metallic metal becomes something attainable.
I'm glad. These are actually a great army to paint for someone new to painting. when it comes to the glazing, make sure to do some practice on any spare blades befre you do it on your actual miniatures. good luck
Commenting for engagement and algorithm purposes. But seriously, your guides have really helped me starting out with getting my killteams looking snazzy
Amazing... I have been looking for this tutorial since months... No one scheme of colours convinced me but this one you shared is increidible, thanks a lot mate ❤
Just tried this in two random regular Marines before my GK Strike team arrives and it looks amazing!!! I do need to be more aggressive with the blue steel bit, as mine is a little too subtle. But I'm looking forward to seeing my GK like this. And also fielding them as a Kill Team in a few weeks.
I actually just bought an army of these guys off of a buddy of mine today that I was hoping to give this kind of paint job, so this is going to help a lot and the timing couldn't have been better on this video's release 😂
@@TableTopReadyUA-cam no problem your channel flys under the radar on the mini painting scene but is top for quality and the format of your videos make it accessible for people who are only starting or painting a while like myself appreciate the content and your dedication to teaching others all the best going forward 👍
I really really love your videos. I can't wait to see a video of you painting the leviathan box. I would like to see a video of you painting with the less amount of paints that would be a nice challenge also I don't have to many paints yet Much love from Colombia.
Thank you. I can’t wait to get hold of that box. I’m excited. I may not paint everything, but I will choose some of the characters and bigger units from the box to paint. I’ll also be doing a series of videos for the new edition like I did for 9th so lots of beginner friendly content 😃 so don’t worry.
Have you considered doing a tutorial for the Deathwing? I've still a problem perfecting the bone armour, would like to see how you will approach it. Awesome work lad!
Thank you. I have and I really want to do deathwing. I’m just waiting for things to become available again as things have been out of stock. The plan is to do the lion and also the deathwing. So once the lion is available I’ll do both of those tutorials 💪🏻
Amazing tutorial, amazing video! I never comment on videos, holy shit you deserve it. My brother gave me his Grey Knights he didn’t want and was looking at tutorials and paint schemes. What are those things you pin your models to?! You make it look so much easier by pinning each section to those things. Please let me know!
Amazin video as always, especially the sword, it turned out fantastic! Please make a sisters video next if its not much trouble. And it might have been awhile, but love the new bgm lol
This video is great, exactly what I was looking for, got the combat patrol for christmas and I'll be using this! Do you have any general recommendations for painting grey knights/minis?
hmmm other than what I talk about in this video? go watch my getting miniatures ready for painting, how to highlight and how to warhammer. all these should give you plenty of tips and advice :D have fun and take your time. enjoy the process
Amazing tutorial and I can't wait to try it. At the start you mentioned mixing water with the paint 1/1 ratio. Do you do that with all the paints and stages?
This is such a great tutorial! I chose Grey knights as my first army and am struggling with choosing the paint. I really like the way you did yours and wanted to ask if you'd have a limited budget, which of the paints you used, are the most essential for their look?
@@TableTopReadyUA-camit was a bit confusing which one you used since there are so many listed under primes. So its ok if I use ledbelcher? Sorry Im new not sure the difference between primer & undercoat.
Thank you. To use plastic glue if there is paint where it needs to connect then I would recommend scraping away the paint first. Otherwise use super glue
@@TableTopReadyUA-cam thank you man. I think I’ll try to cover it with small bits of painting strips. If that doesn’t work I’ll do as you said. Thank you 😊
I am new to the hobby and planning to start my first army with Grey Knights. The tutorial is pretty great, however, buying all the paints will be a little expensive. Can I buy just some and give my Grey Knights a semi decent look, and later down the line buy the rest of the paints and finish the details? Or painting minis is something that must be done in one single process
welcome to the hobby :D Yes, this is a fantastic way to approach the hobby and painting if your new. you can start with just base colours. then maybe next week you treat yourself to the grey knights steel to use on the armour etc etc. you can paint your miniatures over a length of time. if you leave highlighting till last, you'll find you feel more comfortable as you'll have some experience painting. Grey Knights are also grey because the army pretty much shares all the same colours, so one of your paints will go along away :D I'm planning on doing a future tutorial on this as a lot of people do ask
In your ultramarine tutorial I did the highlighting stage on my marneus calgar and now he looks amazing!🥳 Do you think you will ever do a video on the genestealer cult at all?
If I may ask, do you plan on making a tutorial on how to paint orange armor? I'm asking this because I currently have some Space Marines that I'm painting in my custom color scheme (orange armor with blue pauldrons)
Honestly, probably not. I don’t think there is much call for it. If I were to paint orange armour. I would probably start with troll slayer orange. Recess shade with wild rider red. Mix troll and fire dragon for chunky highlight. Fire dragon for edge highlight and then ungor flesh for a spot highlight
UA-cam is sentient I think. I’ve been practicing glazing color transitions on bolters and thought “man I think I’m ready for power swords” and the FIRST video UA-cam suggested to me when I opened it was this one.
It knows and it’s listening. Every time I watch someone and they recommend or talk about a random video. That video will appear without fail the next day. 🤷🏼♂️ how does it know
Would you recommend painting the parts separately like you are? Also are you glueing the parts to the foam? Used to build and paint models badly as a teen and want to give it a go again. Cheers
painting with sub assemblies really helps and just makes life a little easier. it does take some time and effort to get your miniatures ready but it's worth it. you can fully build your miniatures as well though. its really up to you and how you like to work. I do a a getting miniatures ready for painting tutorial on the channel if you need help with it
@@TableTopReadyUA-cam thanks for the advice, I’ll check out your other videos, looking forward to painting my GK strike team, waiting on a few deliveries before I get going and I’ve ordered a nemesis Dreadknight from eBay to start further down the line.
This is probably a dumb question, however I am not a big fan of Citadel paints (their price is very high, at least here in the USA) and am planning on using "The Army Painter" paints. That being said, I have yet to see a good comparison of what TAP paints are considered Citadel equivalents (which TAP blue/green/red etc is equal to Citadel-wise). I love your tutorials and your minis always look BEAUTIFUL.. and I want to make sure Im not using the wrong shades. I understand fully that TAP and Citadel colors will vary because they arent recreations of those colors, however I do know that they do have similar shades that are used for similar areas of the mini. (For instance, ork flesh vs orc skin are slightly different, but used for the same thing). Not all names are that easily related, though, for all the different colors. Do you know if there is a guide somewhere that compares the like colors for these two specific companies? Because sometimes they're not that obvious when in the container versus on the mini or by name.
What your after is called a conversion chart. You can just google it and you’ll find what your after. Army painter will probably have one themselves. I’m a huge fan of the Vallejo range myself. They well priced, a great variety of colours and products including a model colours range that is made to match the citadel colours. Army painter is hit and miss for me. But make sure to do your research. Maybe get a couple of paints first to try them out before you commit to an entire range
@TableTopReadyUA-cam I had no idea that a chart like that existed! Thank you very much! I have heard a LOT of good things about Vallejo, and they do seem cheaper than Citadel. I was actually looking at Vallejo before I looked at TAP, but the price of TAP is what drew me to them. TAP is the cheapest of the 3 I believe, and has super good reviews.. That being said, I don't think I like their speedpaints. A LOT of mixed reviews on those and are more expensive and I'd rather do detailed paints than a fast paint. I will do just that, try 3-5 colors of each (Vallejo and TAP) and see which I like the most. I really appreciate your response and I hope you have an amazing day. Thank you for your awesome content. Much love from a new painter in the USA!
"I paid for the whole Patreon Name and i'm gonna use the whole Patreon name" Absolute Legend. Also, i just decided that i wan't my first Army to be the grey Knights and i'm sure i can handle the strike Squad, but i'm unsure if my skill is enough for the Palladins and the Dread-Knight. I'd like to know if i should do another faction.
If you can paint 1 grey knight. You can paint any grey knight. Make sure to check out some of the shorts that go along with this tutorial. The dreadknight is just a big space marine 🤷🏼♂️ but honestly I made sure to cover enough for you to be able to paint it all 😁
There a fantastic range of paints. Best water acrylics for miniature in my opinion. Lots of variety and choice. My goal is also to replicate how the studio paint them so I like to use the same paints.

Have you tried fuegen orange in place of reikland? Makes a nice saturated gold tone
I know some people use contrast rather than the shades and it’s something I’m interested in trying myself, so yeah I’ll give it a go 😃
Bookmarked this for my GK Killteam thanks. Can you do one with Eldar, or Drukhari
Awesome. I will get around to do all factions at some point hopefully. Not enough time in the day though
Before the base spray coat of leadbelcher are you supposed to prime? Or is the citadel colour spray also a primer?
the leadbelcher spray is enough
Looks awesome! I've been waited for a long time for a guides with "box paintings". Will you paint Sisters of Battle in Our Martyred Lady scheme?
Thank you 😃 sisters are my next tutorial 🖖🏻
Would like to see your approach on some votann miniatures!
I’m sure you will 👌🏻
Great video! I only use brush paints, could I use iron hands steel as a primer instead of leadbelcher spray and just work from there?
yes that would work, I would be careful and make sure you use multple thin layers.
Is Ledbelcher a goodb alternative to iron hands steel?
It is, it’s a little darker but still good
What are you using to secure your separate pieces onto the blocks of wood? Are you just gluing/blue tack so they stay put?
go watch my getting miniatures ready for painting video. I talk in detail about how I do things
What do you use to attach the pieces to their staging blocks?
I use super glue so I can easily snap them off after I'm done
As a GK player who has really been struggling to paint his army I cannot thank you enough for this video!!!
Glad I can help. It’s why I make these videos to help people paint their miniatures 😁
How do you attach the stuff to the wood? Just a bit of superglue or something?
I have a video about getting miniatures ready for painting :) but I use super glue to attach them to the blocks
This video is great, exactly what I was looking for, got the combat patrol for christmas and I'll be using this! Do you have any general recommendations for painting grey knights/minis?
hmmm other than what I talk about in this video? go watch my getting miniatures ready for painting, how to highlight and how to warhammer. all these should give you plenty of tips and advice :D have fun and take your time. enjoy the process
Amazing tutorial and I can't wait to try it. At the start you mentioned mixing water with the paint 1/1 ratio. Do you do that with all the paints and stages?
yes, always thin your paint :P
Cool tutorial. Thank you so much.
😁 glad you liked the tutorial. This was one of my favourites to do
Nice tutorial!
Now I wanna see how you paint iron ravens lmao been in love with their colors but to scared to paint them
Oooo that’s an idea 🤔
This is such a great tutorial! I chose Grey knights as my first army and am struggling with choosing the paint. I really like the way you did yours and wanted to ask if you'd have a limited budget, which of the paints you used, are the most essential for their look?
thats really upto and what you can afford, I would go and watch my how to Warhammer video that talks about all that :)
Might be a dumb question but how do you get a smooth application of the Grey Knights Steel and Drakenhof Nightshade? Mine didn't come out smoothly
Practice I guess. Take your time with it. You’ll get there, I believe 💪🏻
The second one I did looked great, I think I didn't thin it enough the first time@@TableTopReadyUA-cam
Hey man Ima use your colors just wondering if u use any magnifying glasses to paint and what do u use to prop them up to paint ?
what my how to highlight video and getting your miniatures ready for painting. I've got loads of other videos that will help you with the process :D
Great stuff! Also wondering what hobby mat and the white painting lamp do you use ?
The hobby Matt is just the cheapest A1 size hobby Matt off amazon. Think it was about £17 and the light is linked in the description of my videos 😁
Fantastic tutorial, really nicely explained and laid out. Thanks!
Are you thinning the Grey Knights Steel so it's like a glaze when you put it on?
Thank you. I thin the grey knights steel like normal, but if you find its better to make it a glaze then do that. try both and see what your prefer :D
Thanks for the quick reply! Picking up my grey knights tomorrow. Can't wait to get them painted up!
Thanks for making this video!
Thanks for commenting 😃
@@TableTopReadyUA-cam can i ask you if instead of using leadbelcher spray primer, i can start using Chaos black and then layer of leadbelcher?
What colour primer did you use?
leadbelcher, everything is shown on the screen and also listed in the descriptions of the tutorials if you ever want to know what I use :D
@@TableTopReadyUA-camit was a bit confusing which one you used since there are so many listed under primes. So its ok if I use ledbelcher? Sorry Im new not sure the difference between primer & undercoat.
Do you water down the drakenhof nightshade for this method? Thanks for the tutorial btw :)
No it’s not thinned down and you’ll probably find you’ll. we’d a couple of layers to build up the colour 🖖🏻
They look amazing!! Nice job! New sub.
I was wondering… can you joint arms and bodies once painted with regular plastic glue?
Thank you. To use plastic glue if there is paint where it needs to connect then I would recommend scraping away the paint first. Otherwise use super glue
@@TableTopReadyUA-cam thank you man. I think I’ll try to cover it with small bits of painting strips. If that doesn’t work I’ll do as you said. Thank you 😊
Gorgeous.
Thank you and what do you think about the miniatures 😃
@@TableTopReadyUA-cam I thought about qualifying my comment, initially. I figured I'd let it ride. I'm not changing my mind now!
Did not disappoint :)
I am new to the hobby and planning to start my first army with Grey Knights. The tutorial is pretty great, however, buying all the paints will be a little expensive.
Can I buy just some and give my Grey Knights a semi decent look, and later down the line buy the rest of the paints and finish the details? Or painting minis is something that must be done in one single process
welcome to the hobby :D Yes, this is a fantastic way to approach the hobby and painting if your new. you can start with just base colours. then maybe next week you treat yourself to the grey knights steel to use on the armour etc etc. you can paint your miniatures over a length of time.
if you leave highlighting till last, you'll find you feel more comfortable as you'll have some experience painting.
Grey Knights are also grey because the army pretty much shares all the same colours, so one of your paints will go along away :D
I'm planning on doing a future tutorial on this as a lot of people do ask
@@TableTopReadyUA-cam thank you very much for your answer, it was really helpful and encouraging :D
In your ultramarine tutorial I did the highlighting stage on my marneus calgar and now he looks amazing!🥳 Do you think you will ever do a video on the genestealer cult at all?
Oooo well done. I’m thinking of doing marneus for a tutorial 🤔 and yes I will eventually do some gene stealer cult tutorials 🖖🏻
That’s something to look forward to! 🎉
If I may ask, do you plan on making a tutorial on how to paint orange armor? I'm asking this because I currently have some Space Marines that I'm painting in my custom color scheme (orange armor with blue pauldrons)
Honestly, probably not. I don’t think there is much call for it. If I were to paint orange armour. I would probably start with troll slayer orange. Recess shade with wild rider red. Mix troll and fire dragon for chunky highlight. Fire dragon for edge highlight and then ungor flesh for a spot highlight
UA-cam is sentient I think. I’ve been practicing glazing color transitions on bolters and thought “man I think I’m ready for power swords” and the FIRST video UA-cam suggested to me when I opened it was this one.
It knows and it’s listening. Every time I watch someone and they recommend or talk about a random video. That video will appear without fail the next day. 🤷🏼♂️ how does it know
Thanks a lot for this video.
Your welcome. Thank you for this comment 😁
Comment for the algorithm. Great video 😊
Thank you :D I apreciate you
Would you recommend painting the parts separately like you are? Also are you glueing the parts to the foam? Used to build and paint models badly as a teen and want to give it a go again. Cheers
painting with sub assemblies really helps and just makes life a little easier. it does take some time and effort to get your miniatures ready but it's worth it. you can fully build your miniatures as well though. its really up to you and how you like to work. I do a a getting miniatures ready for painting tutorial on the channel if you need help with it
@@TableTopReadyUA-cam thanks for the advice, I’ll check out your other videos, looking forward to painting my GK strike team, waiting on a few deliveries before I get going and I’ve ordered a nemesis Dreadknight from eBay to start further down the line.
I think it's awesome. and i will try to do it.
💪🏻 you should. Go for it
This is probably a dumb question, however I am not a big fan of Citadel paints (their price is very high, at least here in the USA) and am planning on using "The Army Painter" paints. That being said, I have yet to see a good comparison of what TAP paints are considered Citadel equivalents (which TAP blue/green/red etc is equal to Citadel-wise). I love your tutorials and your minis always look BEAUTIFUL.. and I want to make sure Im not using the wrong shades. I understand fully that TAP and Citadel colors will vary because they arent recreations of those colors, however I do know that they do have similar shades that are used for similar areas of the mini. (For instance, ork flesh vs orc skin are slightly different, but used for the same thing). Not all names are that easily related, though, for all the different colors.
Do you know if there is a guide somewhere that compares the like colors for these two specific companies? Because sometimes they're not that obvious when in the container versus on the mini or by name.
What your after is called a conversion chart. You can just google it and you’ll find what your after. Army painter will probably have one themselves.
I’m a huge fan of the Vallejo range myself. They well priced, a great variety of colours and products including a model colours range that is made to match the citadel colours.
Army painter is hit and miss for me. But make sure to do your research. Maybe get a couple of paints first to try them out before you commit to an entire range
@TableTopReadyUA-cam I had no idea that a chart like that existed! Thank you very much!
I have heard a LOT of good things about Vallejo, and they do seem cheaper than Citadel. I was actually looking at Vallejo before I looked at TAP, but the price of TAP is what drew me to them. TAP is the cheapest of the 3 I believe, and has super good reviews.. That being said, I don't think I like their speedpaints. A LOT of mixed reviews on those and are more expensive and I'd rather do detailed paints than a fast paint.
I will do just that, try 3-5 colors of each (Vallejo and TAP) and see which I like the most.
I really appreciate your response and I hope you have an amazing day. Thank you for your awesome content.
Much love from a new painter in the USA!

Absolute Legend.
Also, i just decided that i wan't my first Army to be the grey Knights and i'm sure i can handle the strike Squad, but i'm unsure if my skill is enough for the Palladins and the Dread-Knight.
I'd like to know if i should do another faction.
If you can paint 1 grey knight. You can paint any grey knight. Make sure to check out some of the shorts that go along with this tutorial. The dreadknight is just a big space marine 🤷🏼♂️ but honestly I made sure to cover enough for you to be able to paint it all 😁
Excellent tutoriel, bravo.
À vos pinceaux les amis !
Merci :D
Another amazing tutorial, and one of my favourite space marine chapters. Keep 'em coming and I'll be glad to keep watching :)
Thank you. I ain’t stopping anytime soon. Thanks for your support 😊
Do you only use citadel products? If so, why?
There a fantastic range of paints. Best water acrylics for miniature in my opinion. Lots of variety and choice. My goal is also to replicate how the studio paint them so I like to use the same paints.
All killer; no filler, as usual.
Thank you 😁 ha
