Have watched a number on tutorials on painting Black Templars. This is the first one that feels like I can actually pull it off with my skill level! Thank you so much.
This is what contrast paints were meant for. Love the incredibly straightforward and useful guide. You even have all the paints and brushes used in the description! Truly a pro at UA-cam painting guides.
Oh my god, thank you. This is perfect. Even starting off with a usable standard so we can get things going, then gradually step it up on a per-squad basis. 👍💯👌
I love this paint job. How would you do this on a vehicle? Using an airbrush to spray the contrast in thin coats? I want to avoid to "pooling / streaking" you mentioned.
These tutorials are so easy to follow and don't overload the viewer with crazy paitning jargon. My new player friend is a big fan of this, but he hates the Citadel pots. Is there an alternative black contrast paint that comes in a dropper, or will we need to make our own?
I'm glad you like them all! You can try the Army Painter or Vallejo black. The tone might be a little different as the Black Templar paint has a slight blue hue to it, whilst the others do not.
Thanks - if you have an airbrush, then yes - if not, then I would be sceptical...you could always try it on a spare part, or primed bit of card to see how it works
I've done all different flavours of chaos in the past - I'd use the same recipes again - as for the centaurion - it's a grear model but I don't have time iny schedule unfortunately
It's called zenithal (excuse my accent!) I haven't got one but will add it to my to do list - basically spray the model black - then spray white from about a 45 degree angle - this cobers the raised areas, leaving the black in the recesses
Really enjoy these videos :) actually going to use the templars scheme as inspiration for the votaan when they drop but ill be sure to reference back to this video to make sure they look good!
Say I was a less experienced painter and I bugger up a highlight; how would I be able to clean it up? Is this the main downside of base coating with contrast paints? Awesome video by the way, it's given me a lot of confidence!
Depends where it is - you could rebase the area and start again, or add some more of the contrast to cover the mistake, leaving the bit you want to keep
This looks more my speed! I might try my first zenithal prime attempt! Been bummed about all the other methods I've tried for my BT. Would White Scar be a good white? I have grey seer, corax, and wraithbone also with chaos black for the undercoat.
Hey, thanks, I tried it and it came out great. Such a simple and relaxing method. I knocked out one of the crusader intercessors in an evening. Learned a lot from painting him with this method and preferred it to how my other test model using Duncan's guide on these particular fellows turned out, though that one does look more intricate but he is quite sloppier and messier overall (I need practice). So now I know I can bang them out to a nice standard going forward, and the next ones will go quicker as I've gotten more accustomed to painting SMs in general.@@ThePaintingCoach
I have quite a few "spare" Space Marines (no mistery why), and your guides are making me want to paint all of them in a different chapter scheme! More sons of Dorn - I have Crimson Fists - or try something new with Blood Angels? Salamanders maybe?
@@ThePaintingCoach I decided to try Grey Seer instead so we will see how it turns out…with Black Templar and Thunderhawk blue being cool tones I figured the cool tone of the Grey seer would work best…Thanks again for the reply!
I'm about to paint Black Templars for my buddy who's just getting into the gaming side of the hobby, so this is great! What type of paint is Ulthuan Grey that you used on the shoulder pads please? Is it a base paint?
Super timely and helpful as I just started on my chaplain with black armor! Wanted to ask if I can use Ahraiman blue as a substitute for thunder hawk blue? Or not the right tone? Cheers!
I've been doing a Leviadon Blue into a Black Templar contrast paint duo and I find it leaves quite pronounced marks/brush lines. Should I be doing heavier on the paints, or multiple coats, or using different brushes?
So you spray the whole model black - then white from above - any areas that are not covered in white will be in shadow, so no need to prime these with the white
I don't get it im doing the exact same thing but when I apply black templar contrast over the white it dries completely dark (there is no white visible underneath)
Yours turned out great. But mine I just use Abaddon Black for the base, Khorne Red for the weapons/eyes/purity seals, Mournfang Brown for pouches, Balthazar Gold for the thing on they're chest, Corax White for the shoulders, and lastly Leadbelcher or Iron Hands Steel for the metal bits on weapons They're all Base paints as well, not sure if it's really different from Contrast?
Hi, i’m hoping you would be willing to help. Im new and am painting Deathwatch and I’ve been doing an edge highlight of eshin grey and the using fenrisian on sharp corners. This technique does not seem to give the same sharp result as GW shows on boxes. Do you know how GW does the highlighting on the deathwatch boxes? I saw your short on highlighting black armor but it looked way different than the boxes. Thanks!
Eshin grey and fenrisian grey are two different types of grey. Fenrisian is cold and eshin is neutral. If you start with eshin, you generally want to go with dawnstone and administratum grey. If you want to use fenrisian then start the highlights with dark reaper, then thunderhawk blue. With all that said it's really important you practice your brush control to get those sharp highlights - hope that helps!
Greetings from Germany 👌 Nice work and very smooth advices. What colour would you use for the cloaks (i don’t know if this is the right word) of the the Black Templar minis like Sword bretheren or crusader squads?
in the sense of black, wait until it dries, and white? When I did this, the black just turned into white, unless I wanted to spray black and then white.@@ThePaintingCoach

I love this guide! Gonna use this for my new crusade =) Don't suppose you have any quick and easy ideas for their tabards?

Another great video - you've tempted me to do a Black Templar test model.
Haha awesome!
I would love to see you do the new Chaos Legionaires and if you're interested, the Centaurion Marshall
I've done all different flavours of chaos in the past - I'd use the same recipes again - as for the centaurion - it's a grear model but I don't have time iny schedule unfortunately
@@ThePaintingCoach bummer! You do so well with skin and blending techniques. I would have loved to see what you would do
Excellent video. I take it you use an airbrush for the base and zenithal highlighting? Would it be okay using a rattle can?
I used rattle cans 👍🏻
@@ThePaintingCoach thank you and merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas!
Been looking forward to this one!
Hope you enjoy!
@@ThePaintingCoach I did haha I must have been on your mine when making this video with the amount of times I asked.
Is there video on how you spray from the top using the “zanafil” technique?
It's called zenithal (excuse my accent!)
I haven't got one but will add it to my to do list - basically spray the model black - then spray white from about a 45 degree angle - this cobers the raised areas, leaving the black in the recesses
This series is great, hoping to see some space wolves soon
I'll add it to the list - having abreak from space marines for a while

Just started a BT army and was struggling a little because I'm new to painting, followed this and my first one is looking great!
Thanks!
Awesome 👍🏻
I really like this, what do you do if a mistake is made though?
Depends where you make it really - but generally just repaint one panel if you need too
Yo thanks for making this video, this really helped me choose the colors for my BT army since I just started I don't have that much experience.
Glad it helped!
What is a good white rattle can or is Grey Seer a fine alternative?
White Scar works fine for me - just needs a good shake, make sure the can is warm and spray a little into the air first before spraying the model
This looks more my speed! I might try my first zenithal prime attempt! Been bummed about all the other methods I've tried for my BT. Would White Scar be a good white? I have grey seer, corax, and wraithbone also with chaos black for the undercoat.

Cheers - I'd paint it the same way - check my channel as I have a full deathwatch tutorial
Late to the party, but thank you for this video ! About to start 40k v10 with templars and this is very usefull :)
Awesome glad it helps!
Very good tutorial! I got some tips what I will try. Thank you!
Awesome 👍🏻

Did salamanders and blood angels recently...will take some time away from marines as the next batch is all gallow dark
How many black Templar layers are there? How thick does it needs to be? Also how should I repair the the mistakes I did with the white over the white?
Just one thick layer - correct any mistakes on white with corax white
@@ThePaintingCoach I meant I have white splashed in the black. Should I just go over with the black?
Yes 👍🏻
Any chance of IF updated tutorial 😁👍
Already done a couple of weeks ago - check my channel page!
My bad thanks man 👍
Would this work with slapchop too? I never have much luck with zenathal priming. End up with way too much or little white!
Yes should do
Would this scheme work with Wraithbone Primer? I’ve order White Scar from my FLGS but it hasn’t come in yet? Awesome tutorial as usual! Keep it up!
Maybe - I guess it will give you a slightly warmer finish
@@ThePaintingCoach I decided to try Grey Seer instead so we will see how it turns out…with Black Templar and Thunderhawk blue being cool tones I figured the cool tone of the Grey seer would work best…Thanks again for the reply!
No problem!
For the tabards on crusaders would you recommended a contrast method with the zenithal technique or just paint it up standard?
Depends on the effect you like really - i prefer to layer zandri dust, ushabti bone and then edge highlight with screaming skull
What contrast paint should I use for the tabard that is on most black templars and for redish crusader seals?
Flesh tearers red for the seals, and try a thinned down skeleton horde on the tabards - you may need to base them with wraithbone first
@@ThePaintingCoach so the tabard needs to be based with wraithbone first
Yes
I'm about to paint Black Templars for my buddy who's just getting into the gaming side of the hobby, so this is great!
What type of paint is Ulthuan Grey that you used on the shoulder pads please? Is it a base paint?
It's a layer paint 👍🏻
@@ThePaintingCoach Thanks! Off to buy some now
Would streaking grime work well with this scheme do you think?
Potentially - maybe do a tester first
@@ThePaintingCoach will do. Love the scheme by the way 😁👍
I have 10 of these dudes just sitting there waiting for paint lol. Just finished up my sword brethren
This was brilliant what white did you use to zenithal after priming black,as it looked grey on screen
Cheers - White Scar
Is there any paint to replace flesh tearers red on the weapon casings?
Next a grimmaldus painting video please, like the one with helbrecht ^^
I haven't got grimaldus unfortunately
Probably too late but what primers did you use?
Never too late! Chaos Black and White Scar - but any black and white should be ok
@@ThePaintingCoach Thanks I appreciate that
No problem!
Super timely and helpful as I just started on my chaplain with black armor! Wanted to ask if I can use Ahraiman blue as a substitute for thunder hawk blue? Or not the right tone? Cheers!
Cheers - no it's probably not the right tone!
@@ThePaintingCoach oh glad I asked! what would you say will be an equivalent in either GW or Vallejo colour range?
Well T-Hawk blue is GW - if you have fenrisian grey you could try and mix a little black in
Exactly what spray to prime?
Chaos Black and White Scar?
That will work
I've been doing a Leviadon Blue into a Black Templar contrast paint duo and I find it leaves quite pronounced marks/brush lines. Should I be doing heavier on the paints, or multiple coats, or using different brushes?
Hmm the blues aren't great at civeting wide areas like power armour - Black Templar on its own should be ok 🤔
I will give it a go, thanks!@@ThePaintingCoach
just need some deckles :D
Can I skip the corax white spray or use corax white paint with a brush? Would the effect be the same?
You could try a heavy drybrush of corax white
So for the priming you spray the whole model with black but then you spray from a above with white ?
Yes 👍🏻
@@ThePaintingCoach did you use the cans or the air brush it’s my first time ever doing this and I don’t wanna mess up
I used cans - if you have an airbrush, it will be more accurate :)
how did you prime that figure i dont understand with black and white can you explain it that zen-field tech
and was ist citadel paint ?
It's called zenithal - so pray it black all over, and then white from above only
I used chaos black and skull white
@@ThePaintingCoach also normal chaos black coat spray than sprying from above with white skull ?
@1992Sebo yes
@@ThePaintingCoach thank you but how you primed under the jumppack if you zentral technique says just from above spray
So you spray the whole model black - then white from above - any areas that are not covered in white will be in shadow, so no need to prime these with the white
Do you only do one coat for the basecoat
In this one yes
Hi, please can u give some advice on some bright colours for some tyranid models
Have you got any ideas if what you want to achieve?
I really want to paint my new tyranid combat patrol in a bright colour scheme with maybe a yellow
Imperial fists yellow over white is great - that's pretty bright!
I don't get it im doing the exact same thing but when I apply black templar contrast over the white it dries completely dark (there is no white visible underneath)
Strange - the black templar is a lot less opaque than black legion 🤔 can't think of why it would be so dark
@@ThePaintingCoach Maybe I'm applying too much black? I'll try thinning it more (ty for the quick answer!)
Possibly - also make sure not to have too much on your brush...i like to try things on spare parts when I experiment
Yours turned out great. But mine I just use Abaddon Black for the base, Khorne Red for the weapons/eyes/purity seals, Mournfang Brown for pouches, Balthazar Gold for the thing on they're chest, Corax White for the shoulders, and lastly Leadbelcher or Iron Hands Steel for the metal bits on weapons
They're all Base paints as well, not sure if it's really different from Contrast?

Yes spray black, let it dry then spray white - when you add the black templar contrast paint it will take on the gradient underneath
do you spray the black then immediatly spray the white or do you wait for the black to dry?
Let the black dry 👍🏻
@@ThePaintingCoach thanks!
How much did you thin down the white or did you paint straight from the pot?
Put it on my wet palette and then made sure I didn't have too muxh on my brush
This looks dead simple, I may have to get 10th edition big box now!
Cheers!

Hour and a half max
@@ThePaintingCoach Awesome! Thanks
What brand of ink do you use?
I don't tend to use any ink 👍🏻
I guess I know what I’m doing tonight
I feel like this is skipping a step - how did you get the black templars contrast to not look streaky?
No skipped steps - i just apply a good amount straight out of the pot - never had an issue with the black contrasts looking streaky 🤔
