I've recently been lamenting the state of youtube warhammer painting videos recently, there's too many gimmicks and everyone covers the same things, ironically while trying to avoid doing simple painting videos. I really appreciated watching your video, it was a great, high quality video of well done paintjobs, just what I want! Subbed.
The paint used is Molotow Shock Blue Middle, Hex value is #59a8cd as for Citadel equivalent, I am not sure, I don't have one that would quite match, Temple Guard Blue is not far off but I think it would need to be lightened a little.
Hey Chris, great video again. Question about Molotow. I have tried them a few years back as Marco Frisoni has recommended them even as a sort of primer replacement. That being said I have always had absolutely atrocious results with them. They never seem to stick. I have even come back days after the initial airbrush coat only to have the paint rub off in my hands. Is there a secret to using this paint or what?
I haven't used them as a primer myself, I have noticed some problems when using contrast paint over them. Locking in with varnish will probably help but I am still experimenting with them a bit.
Hey Alex, maybe try to remove the oils and fats from your fingers / assembly before priming. Maybe that helps, I’m still unsure why some primers stick and some not. Also Vallejo has at times inconsistent quality, so in can happen for example 1 out of 10 primers is bad. Hope that helps. Cheers
@@ricardoflummiremus so I actually have tried this - over time I've become a bit more anal in terms of how I prep models, and most models I will actually wash in sunlight dish soap once I am done assembly. Admittedly the first time I did NOT do this when trying to raw dog Molotow paints like Marco Frisoni does... but the second time I tried I was dilligent and it still rubbed off. I found similar issues with scalecolour paints. Meanwhile TTC, Vallejo, GW, and AK all seem to stick wonderfully. Any other ideas though I am open to suggestions.
Well done Sir.
Good job Brother Chris. Courage and Honour! For the Emperor. For Ultramar. For Macragge!
what a beautifully painted kill team! the color palette is very vibrant, lush, and full of life!
Thanks!

Thank you for the kind words, I really enjoyed making this one. I am not trying to do anything special, just trying to show the paint process.
Very cool. What thinner did you use for your citadel paints?
Tamiya X20-A!
Chris, do you know what would the Citadel equivalent be for the “aquamarine” blue used for the light effect? (second blue paint)

@@chrisminipaints alright sounds good - seems you had a relatively good experience with them this time. Let me know if you find hiccups or hacks
