Hey All! Yes, I know. Games Workshop have been less-than-cool to their customers recently: Excessive FOMO marketing, LFGS supply failures, untruths about Cursed City being supported, oafish IP enforcement, etc. etc. The Goobertown Hobbies video pipeline is now stocked with games and minis from a wide variety of other companies. There’s a LOT of exciting stuff on the way! All that being said, here I am publishing a 40k video. I wanted to get this Chaos video out ASAP, because it promotes a charity raffle which is live right now. Check out that raffle, and stay tuned for some spicy new videos :-) www.novaopenfoundation.org/
Oh aye I totally get it Brent! I know there's a fair amount of negative press surrounding GW, but as a content creator I totally understand that you gotta do what's already in the pipeline. Though it's awesome that you are branching out into more obscure brands, as there's a lot of really cool stuff out there that is almost as enjoyable to discover.
YES!!!! Always a pleasure Brent. Just to add a slight clarification, I donated my Khârn model to this year’s NOVA raffle which was beautifully painted by Jordan Powell (AspiringChampionPainting). This Khârn has brought me many fun times on the tabletop and will now be gifted and welcomed to a new home of the lucky winner.
I'm hearing very different opinions about Nurgle though: - It's good for beginners because Nurgle is messy by default - It's terrible for beginners due to the tons of details
Yeah, you can't go wrong with a Death Guard army, or a Nurgle army, if you're a first time painter. They're not extremely technical, and they usually look great on the table top, without a ton of effort, more than just base coating and a wash.
the "messy by default argument" haha what a blast from the past :D the terms of "messy" and how it gives the illusion of easyness could be a subject for a warning video, both for painting and conversions, so beginners don't fall for it. Of course we can argue, that all depend of your goal and the level of work and finition you are targeting. Maybe somebody have already talked about it somewhere, can't find anything tho.
That's the terrific part about them, though. If you have the skill and confidence, you can pick out the details and take them to whatever level you're comfortable with. Otherwise, you can also just slap some washes over them, because they're probably covered with sick grime in the lore anyhow.
@@murrayprovan4835 ^^^ he's got it. Do the crazy, messy, trail and error stuff. Tackle the details at your own pace. Never be afraid to go back and to some more work on a model after you learn something. If you keep the same dudes and put time into them and rework them when you get better and better nurgle can be your centerpiece army
I believe Brent playing evil Brent while being nice dude Brent is just a cover for the _real_ evil Brent. The special kind of evil that would show up at your house while you're out of town, mow and edge your lawn, then not let you pay him back in any way. Totally evil.
Another one that I find easier for beginners is...Orks! Why? Well painting greenskin is easier than actual fleshy skin. And they have big faces, meaning big eyes, meaning easier to paint those bits too!
Hi Brent. I am the owner of Tabletop News Today. We would love to do an interview and feature on your channel. What is the best way to contact you? I am a supporter on Patreon and on Discord.
Washes are a nice thing; but sometimes it's just better to have very precise control over the shade. There's something very pleasing by just an exceptionally clean paint job. I love applying filters though; which I consider different.
If you're not confident with testing out paint consistency on your expensive models, here's a hot tip! Prime up a part of the sprue, and test your paints on that! It's a great way to get a feel for your paint without putting it on something you are afraid of ruining. And you can also use it to try out scary new techniques such as edge highlighting and wet blending!
(late news) Brilliant! Am not a painter, but that could change. Working out how far to dilute the paints has been puzzling me, but - as you point out - why not run a try-out on not-the-mini plastic? Best regards!
I'm now feeling less intimidated about getting started with Slaves to Darkness. I'm just waiting on some texture paint to show up before I get started, but I'm super excited to finally dive into the hobby.
This makes me grateful I got into mini painting and Warhammer via that First Strike starter kit that was half Marines and half Death Guard. The Poxwalkers were ideal to get a handle putting brush to plastic and the Death Guard gave me a chance to paint something more elaborate. When I won it in an MTG tournament I lucked into a great start to a new hobby.
Brent, are you high? Chaos space marines for a new painter? You're insane, that's actually the worst army for a beginner painter, hands down. A real answer to the question is really simple. Necrons. Prime black, dry brush metal, pick out a few details in a green edge highlighted with yellow. Even a beginner painter could paint 2k points of Necrons in a single weekend.
@@GoobertownHobbies Spicy isn't the word I'd use. ;) lol On a serious note, the only chaos space marines I'd suggest for a noob that I didn't want to quit the hobby ASAP would be deathguard, as they really should look... well.... terrible....
Me: "What does a guy from Maine know about 'spicy' stuff-" Brent: "Beginners should paint Chaos Space Marines" Me: "TOO SPICY! WATER! MILK! AAAAh!" Joking aside: awesome stuff as always.
So yesterday I finally conquered my fear of jumping in and painting minis again. I had tried several times over the past few years, but never managed to finish one. Yesterday I decided to try a Rubric Marine that I had on hand, thinking that it was probably not the most appropriate mini to start painting again. Today I stumbled upon this video. Life is good !
I'm painting Ultramarines as my first army, but I also painted the Indomitus Necrons and found them surprisingly easy to paint. Prime black, dry brush silver, paint eyes and glowing weapon bits neon green, cover in agrax earthshade and you're done.
Imperial Knights are the all time most Beginner friendly army to paint. They are a bit on the expensive side. But you only need to build 3 Armigers and a main Titan Knight to participate in any 1000 pt battle.
I could not stop laughing when you "possessed MiniWargamer Dave" !!!! As always Brent thankyou for your videos! Lefties UNITE!!!!.............tomorrow!
Bruh... at 4:30 those already looked table ready if you just wanted color on them to game with your friends. I'm so... so jealous... all of my models are sitting there begging me to assemble them and paint them. I decided to redo my paintjob for the Dark Angels I have, do a custom chapter for my primaris and then I still have Tau to put together (start collecting box, getting that assembled this weekend... already have the Ethereal, 3 crisis suits and 6 drones built!) Then there's my Seraphon for AoS that are looking longingly at my tools.
You know, there's a rather easy way to do several of the armies. Prime/Base layer in black, then use a bright neon color for a light drybrush to hit the edges, then another bright color for anything on the model that would be glowing. Paint base itself black with the rim in the same neon you used for the army. You get a rather neat effect that looks a lot like the old wireframe displays in games and scifi movies. A friend of mine did that with the older Prodoss AvP game stuff he'd gotten, it was a rather fun way for an extremely quick and simple paint job.
For my 2 cents I'd definitely say Sylvaneth. Being tree people they can accommodate a simple colour scheme which is helpful as new painters don't likely have many paints. That being said, they also have some great detail and texture that offers opportunities to practice and be creative.
After a 10 year hiatus I came back to 40K to finish my chaos marines. In 3 years, I’ve grown leaps and bounds as a painter. While I can’t claim I will ever like painting all that trim, I can’t deny that it had helped me expand my skills and confidence. I recommend these models too - just be prepared for some frustration learning to paint neatly!
As an day 1 beginner i really thank you for that, not impossible technics or extra tools just simple things that just needs practice. I appreciate that.
That was an amazing video. Love the logic of chaos marines being great starter models. They are great practice and not boring to paint at all. Where loyalist marines can get repetitive.
Brent I know this is asking a lot, and I know this is a long shot. A good friend of mine turns 40 and his wife is throwing him a surprise birthday party. With that being said I’m in search of A 3rd edition 40K ork I want to paint up for him, that’s when he started playing. Would you happen to have a lead on where I can find one?
Honestly ebay is normally pretty well stocked on all the oldhammer/ middlehammer stuff as long as you can figure out the right keywords. Happy hunting! :-)
Legend, Brent! Recently dipped into CSM myself, found it was a bit more beneficial to paint the trim first then the armour. Still get the control practice but less frustrating for beginners as panels are larger so more forgiving in this scenario. Great work as always! Love from Australia mate.
I loved the needlessly long intermission! Also, it must have been hard trying to walk soullessly while being followed by a cute doggo! Another line that's easy to get into are Northstar's plastics, both for Frostgrave and Stargrave (though I'm not a fan of the troopers). They are not as detailed as recent GW sculpts, but everything is compatable for more variety, they have good female sculpts and they have faces that are not just young, and are not just caucasian.
Nurgle and Khorne Daemons! They are easy to paint, and can be used in AoS and 40k. 😋 Chaos Brent is a real delight. I hope that a 3d printable version of his chaotic majesty comes out. Your trim painting game is top-notch; and your point about painting the Chaos Marines as a teaching experience is neat too.
@@midnightclad888 Yeah, and I suppose spraying them gold would mean you have to go back and paint joints, belts, bags, holsters, etc, black again. Should still be faster than doing all the trim gold though! :p
Any suggestions for somebody who just wants to paint a cool, larger figure just to have? I don't really want to paint a whole squad or army as I'm not going to play the game. I just like 40k and want a cool figure to paint.
I think we all used balthasar gold and highlighted with gehennas gold. I was heavier on my highlights than others I think, also different cameras makes a difference.
@@GoobertownHobbies there are two big chaos beast thingies where the gold looks like it was washed with a green tint, it might have been the lighting though, but the army shot makes them not fit at all. Just looked it up through the link and they do stand out a lot, yours fit right in xD
I just felt like I had to say thank you Brent. The first video I watched of yours was the beginner painting tutorial with the 5 chaos warriors. I have come a long way from my first models and between you and EBay Miniature Rescues I have learned amazing tricks I use each time I paint. Thank you also for the long hours of Paint Bravely I have been a devoted listener sense day 1 and have enjoyed hearing about couches, light up vans, fishing trips, and all the other rabbit trails you two go on. Once again THANK YOU you have a subscriber for life!
As a new painter to 40k (and painter of my group), I think CSM is kinda wild because of the amount of trim. I started painting with Tyranids (easy), then custodes (all gold, easy) and last CSM (advanced). I’m happy I started that way based on the amount of detail each army had. Painting an army is not a race, but we all want to get those toys on the table to play and I think CSM will take some time to finish as stated in the video. However, one can look back at the CSM as a starting point and think “meh, I’ve had worse.”
You make some solid points, but now these poor beginners will have to PLAY chaos space marines - Which might just send them out of the hobby ;p - Lord discordant looks sick, I never managed to finish mine... just couldn't push through the baroque trim
I see your 40k Chaos Space Marines, and raise you WFB Chaos Warriors! Far better in my opinion. Tomb King skeltons are good. As is pretty much anything from the 90's or any of the "modern-retro" models that various companies produce. New players/painters don't need detail (trust me I started with 7th Ed Empire). They need big open surfaces to experiment with colours, blends & layers. Basics first. This is why Chaos Warriors are best in my opinion. No guns, minimal fancyness, simple weapons and best of all mostly no flesh tones (same with CSM), but also the opportunity to practice your meltalics, fur, leather and cloth techniques. Reminds me that I should get some... *Checks gw* Hummm out of stock... maybe that's a sign?
Thank you so much for this! I am brand new, and looking into what I even *want* to play, and then worryingly if I can paint the faction I like well enough. You've given me confidence to just go and try, even an army usually called "way too difficult for a beginner".
Click UA-cam, click Subscriptions, check Goobertown for a “blue dot” - 😊 Ya know it’s going to be a good day whenever you see that 🔵 and watch a new video by Brent. I don’t even paint GW, but it’s good advice for also knocking out my massive pile of minis I’ve printed. Thanks for the inspiration Brent, now where did I put my Black Primer Spray ...
Not gonna lie, when I saw you ACTUALLY suggesting Chaos I was kinda thrown back.....but I get what you're saying. Patience and accuracy scare people off pretty hard, but if you can convince them how awesome it can look, the "Paint by numbers" of Chaos is actually a great thing to notice. Absolute props to this revelation, will consider this when talking to people getting into the hobby!
I would disagree with chaos (or more specifically thousand sons) as starter models because theres just SO MUCH DANG TRIM! Its mind numbing for someone who just got into the hobby. I had far more fun with my vanilla blue space marines and space skeletons that came in the starter box a couple of years ago, because I was dealing with more than one color at a time and it was fun. Painting Thousand Sons, however, is just hours of carefully painting the trim. No fun at all lol.
Would you have any similar advice for learning/practicing Grenstuff sculpting? How can you get good with it when you first might not even know what to make? Most things you might field numbers of don't necessarily need any, where you could then practice via repetition, and one might not want a Bitz box filled with casualty models you needed to fail on, yo eventually get good enough to succeed. It's often HQs and Special Characters; the "show'em off" pieces of your force, that would get this, but if you've never done it, how to start? I don't have an army; I just occasionally buy a piece, and do some work on it. I've wanted to make a few more kit-bash pieces, to represent things I'd like, but one of them; my own special character, requires some Greenstuff work, or whatever other sculpting putty you might prefer, and it's hard to just try on him, knowing I'm not experienced at it, bur I don't want to have to buy whole new boxes, to get the one part out of them that he uses, because my sculpting work sucked that time. How do people get better at this? Thank you.
This is true as long as you have a good metallic that only takes 1 coat. Trying this with a crappy metallic paint with bad coverage is literally the worst
I joined recently, the first models I ever bought were Death Guard Plague Marines.. not the easiest first experience but they do look cool (on the box).
Good to feature the raffle while it is an ongoing item! I was a bit distracted as to why you were going munchie on those spicy snacks, but Ok it is your video! No silliness is no obstacle to F U N ! Take care and be safe out there!

This was amazing! haha
That bunker is impressing
Okay, but which of these Marines makes the best fishing lure?
Asking the real questions here.
The one that either looks like a fish or… don’t share this secret…
something fish like to eat 😮🫢
Salamanders lol
Slaneesh. Fishes love slaneesh.
Silver metallic colors seem to incite the attack response in most fish species...

It's a trick!
And a zenithal highlight

Nope, just a bit of mind control chaos magic.

Hi Brent. I am the owner of Tabletop News Today. We would love to do an interview and feature on your channel. What is the best way to contact you? I am a supporter on Patreon and on Discord.
heyo! yeah go ahead and send me a DM on discord :-)
I like seeing videos on Chaos Space Marines, the models still have a bit of that old school charm, and are kind of underrated content wise! Very nice!
No wash, Brent you are living on the edge with this one!! Two thin coats, that's what all new painters need to hear.
Grima Wormtongue Jr. Forgot about the most important part; "two thin coats"
Washes are a nice thing; but sometimes it's just better to have very precise control over the shade. There's something very pleasing by just an exceptionally clean paint job.
I love applying filters though; which I consider different.

“Dave has spent too much time dabbling with warp energies and that has made his mind easy to corrupt.” 😆
"Why not choose chaos?" - Good question, why not? :D Awesome look for both 40k and fantasy
There’s something about seeing a guy with a Grateful Dead T Shirt with a break beat playing that gives me happiness.
Man, that costume and dare we call it a smile? That's gonna be nightmare fuel...
You know what I've been painting for years and I never get tired of studying the basics, especially here 😊👍
"As Duncan Intended" needs to go on a T-shirt 🤣🤣🤣
Gotta say, I love how increasingly almost every upload to Warhammer UA-camrs channels is a crossover episode.

So yesterday I finally conquered my fear of jumping in and painting minis again. I had tried several times over the past few years, but never managed to finish one. Yesterday I decided to try a Rubric Marine that I had on hand, thinking that it was probably not the most appropriate mini to start painting again. Today I stumbled upon this video. Life is good !
Me: Watch it be Primaris Space Marines because big round and smooth.
Chaos Space Marines
Me: Oh no, he’s giving away my secret!
I’ve always enjoyed painting Chaos Marines especially Death Guard they have such good details and have their own individual feel to them
See, I just talked myself down from picking up 40K again, and here comes Brent to tell me I was on the right path! 😂
I'm painting Ultramarines as my first army, but I also painted the Indomitus Necrons and found them surprisingly easy to paint. Prime black, dry brush silver, paint eyes and glowing weapon bits neon green, cover in agrax earthshade and you're done.
THIS IS HERESY! Getting new painters drawn to the ways of Chaos. 😯
Imperial Knights are the all time most Beginner friendly army to paint. They are a bit on the expensive side. But you only need to build 3 Armigers and a main Titan Knight to participate in any 1000 pt battle.
fair point! :-)
I could not stop laughing when you "possessed MiniWargamer Dave" !!!!
As always Brent thankyou for your videos!
Lefties UNITE!!!!.............tomorrow!
I haven't watched the video but just here to say, the best army is the one that makes you happiest.
Chaos Marines were my first 40k army and are still my favorite. Looking great!
"if you're looking for options, why not Chaos?" this should be the Word Bearers motto

Hi, i wanted to ask which blue and which gold color you used for the Tzeentch Marine?
Takis chips and Monster cola... the most frequent breakfast food for my students...
I'm trying painting again after many years away from the hobby, and starting with Chaos Space Marines thanks to your suggestion!
Can't wait for more fishing videos, you got a great personality man
It’s definitely is not chaos space marines lmao hard af to paint but worth it lmao just watched the vid kinda ironic I made this comment
4:44 - Go Go Power Rangers! They remind me of the Psycho Rangers.
That was an amazing video. Love the logic of chaos marines being great starter models. They are great practice and not boring to paint at all. Where loyalist marines can get repetitive.
Food in the painting area?
HERETIC!!!
Didn't know Greta Thunberg had a channel...
Great Video.. thanks.
IF you have the munchies or need to perform a ritual, nothing like Takis Fuego!
The 5th chaos god made the trim on the chaos marines. Truly the most cruel of them all.
That middle segment was pure gold 🤘🤪🤘
Great video and great advice. Thanks Brent.
They’re even easier if you play black legion.

Thank you also for the long hours of Paint Bravely I have been a devoted listener sense day 1 and have enjoyed hearing about couches, light up vans, fishing trips, and all the other rabbit trails you two go on. Once again THANK YOU you have a subscriber for life!
Best behind-the-scenes of the Miniwargaming Studio I've seen... also some painting I guess
As a new painter to 40k (and painter of my group), I think CSM is kinda wild because of the amount of trim. I started painting with Tyranids (easy), then custodes (all gold, easy) and last CSM (advanced).
I’m happy I started that way based on the amount of detail each army had. Painting an army is not a race, but we all want to get those toys on the table to play and I think CSM will take some time to finish as stated in the video.
However, one can look back at the CSM as a starting point and think “meh, I’ve had worse.”
You make some solid points, but now these poor beginners will have to PLAY chaos space marines - Which might just send them out of the hobby ;p - Lord discordant looks sick, I never managed to finish mine... just couldn't push through the baroque trim
Brent, I love this video. Completely agree with all points mentioned, thank you! Superb!👌
Necrons can be easy to paint.
BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!!!!!!
I see your 40k Chaos Space Marines, and raise you WFB Chaos Warriors! Far better in my opinion.
Tomb King skeltons are good. As is pretty much anything from the 90's or any of the "modern-retro" models that various companies produce.
New players/painters don't need detail (trust me I started with 7th Ed Empire). They need big open surfaces to experiment with colours, blends & layers. Basics first.
This is why Chaos Warriors are best in my opinion. No guns, minimal fancyness, simple weapons and best of all mostly no flesh tones (same with CSM), but also the opportunity to practice your meltalics, fur, leather and cloth techniques.
Reminds me that I should get some...
*Checks gw*
Hummm out of stock... maybe that's a sign?
Thank you so much for this! I am brand new, and looking into what I even *want* to play, and then worryingly if I can paint the faction I like well enough. You've given me confidence to just go and try, even an army usually called "way too difficult for a beginner".
Click UA-cam, click Subscriptions, check Goobertown for a “blue dot” - 😊
Ya know it’s going to be a good day whenever you see that 🔵 and watch a new video by Brent. I don’t even paint GW, but it’s good advice for also knocking out my massive pile of minis I’ve printed. Thanks for the inspiration Brent, now where did I put my Black Primer Spray ...
How you make the simple look so good, I'll never know.
Not gonna lie, when I saw you ACTUALLY suggesting Chaos I was kinda thrown back.....but I get what you're saying. Patience and accuracy scare people off pretty hard, but if you can convince them how awesome it can look, the "Paint by numbers" of Chaos is actually a great thing to notice. Absolute props to this revelation, will consider this when talking to people getting into the hobby!
Remember everyone with GWs recent actions BUY A 3D PRINTER saves you much more money anyway
I would disagree with chaos (or more specifically thousand sons) as starter models because theres just SO MUCH DANG TRIM! Its mind numbing for someone who just got into the hobby. I had far more fun with my vanilla blue space marines and space skeletons that came in the starter box a couple of years ago, because I was dealing with more than one color at a time and it was fun. Painting Thousand Sons, however, is just hours of carefully painting the trim. No fun at all lol.
Would you have any similar advice for learning/practicing Grenstuff sculpting? How can you get good with it when you first might not even know what to make? Most things you might field numbers of don't necessarily need any, where you could then practice via repetition, and one might not want a Bitz box filled with casualty models you needed to fail on, yo eventually get good enough to succeed. It's often HQs and Special Characters; the "show'em off" pieces of your force, that would get this, but if you've never done it, how to start? I don't have an army; I just occasionally buy a piece, and do some work on it. I've wanted to make a few more kit-bash pieces, to represent things I'd like, but one of them; my own special character, requires some Greenstuff work, or whatever other sculpting putty you might prefer, and it's hard to just try on him, knowing I'm not experienced at it, bur I don't want to have to buy whole new boxes, to get the one part out of them that he uses, because my sculpting work sucked that time. How do people get better at this? Thank you.
This is true as long as you have a good metallic that only takes 1 coat. Trying this with a crappy metallic paint with bad coverage is literally the worst
awesome music!!
Ugh, Takis, I'm british and never tried them before. I was so dissapointed by the flavour, overly sweet and not enough spice!
You guys are awesome
I joined recently, the first models I ever bought were Death Guard Plague Marines.. not the easiest first experience but they do look cool (on the box).
Good to feature the raffle while it is an ongoing item! I was a bit distracted as to why you were going munchie on those spicy snacks, but Ok it is your video! No silliness is no obstacle to F U N ! Take care and be safe out there!
