Using Skarsnik Green as the final highlight looks really good! I've never seen that before, but love the result.
It does look good. Less Tron like than yellow neon green. Skarsnik looks a lot closer to the old goblin green, which I prefer the look of DA on cover of the old DA veteran squad box art, likely hl with goblin green.
I thought moot green would be too much like salamanders. Skarsnik just seemed right to me. Glad you liked it 😄
Yes, first time I've seen someone not use moot green.
If you use Moot green then it becomes necessary to do an 8 part contrast medium to 1 part dark angels contrast paint as an all over glaze to both mute the Moot green and bend all the highlights together...otherwise you will live in tron neon green. Just remember the glaze should look mostly congrats medium with a hint of green and you can do more than one coat...DA contrast paint is very strong.
Your series on 1st founding chapters have all been great so far- really helpful, and I really like your crisp paint jobs.
Looking forward to your next video!
Thank you. I’ve really been enjoying painting the legions. It’s good practice as well
Another great tutorial video!
I love the colours you have used and thanks for the tips, being trying to get better at edge highlighting and I'm getting there but these tips help so much so thank you.
I'm glad my tutorial has helped
When it comes to highlighting, it really is just time and practice. I once spent 4 months just highlighting Space Marines which helped massively.
Having a brush your comfortable and confident using is important, doesn't have to be a fancy brush, just one you can vibe with.
If your struggling to see what your doing, I tend to use a pair of cheap reading glasses or you could get some modeling magnifiers. I found this made a massive difference as my eyesite is terrible anyway
keep it up, you'll get there
Amazing tutorial. As others have mentioned by far the best on UA-cam. So easy to follow. Thank you!
Thank you. It’s very motivating to know people like the content I make
I’m looking to do a few Dark Angels for nostalgia’s and painting fun’s sake. Thanks for the clear tutorial. I was thinking of painting in individual parts and your great results back that. Plus ease of access.
Painting with sub assemblies is a quality of life thing. Nothing more frustrating that trying to paint an area you can’t get to
Another great video. I am an seasoned veteran of the hobby, but i still enjoy watching others assemble, paint and teach the hobby. There is always something "new" to learn, even for veterans like me. The videos you but out are best in class when it comes to "easy to follow".
Thank you so much for the wonderful comment 😁 it makes me happy
I'm always impressed with your tutorials, because the editing and format of the video is as crisp and clean as the painjob :D
Thank you. Always appreciate your comments. 😄
I have been waiting for this one!! thank you sir.
Your very welcome 😁
Your videos are so easy to follow they are my favourite on youtube.. thanks !
Thank you for the lovely comment, it makes a huge difference knowing people enjoy my content
I've got to try me some of that hoyloyten
You do 👍🏻
Love the transitions between colors! I really appreciate you showing the side-by-side comparison photos before and after. It really helps to understand what each step adds to the models.
Thank you. It was reading white dwarf that gave me the idea because you would always see each step next to each other. I always thought that helped so I do it for my videos now 😃
Agreed, the side by side helps me understand how far to keep pushing the blending.
It is currently 1am here in Australia and I am watching this. Was it worth it? Yes, yes it was
Hopefully you didn’t have to watch it upside down ha glad it was worth it 😁
Brand new to the Warhammer universe and have been getting into the painting side a lot more than I thought I would, your videos and tutorials are the best I have seen so far, cheers mate
wow, that means a lot. thank you. painting miniatures is my passion and this is the best way to share that with people :) glad I can help in some way
YEEEEEESSSSS. Magnificent as per usual!!
Thank you 😊
Fantastic tutorial, really like the scheme on this.
Thank you
Just wanted to say your guides are easy to follow I plan to make all the faction of the space marines.
That’s a big task to do all factions. I wish you luck on that journey 💪🏻
That's a sharp Dark Angel! Love to see my favorite chapter done well.
I personally prefer my bolters Khorne Red as I learned mainly by watching Duncan Rhodes, however that bright red certainly makes him pop out. It's almost something you'd on a 90s 'Eavy Metal paintjob. And that's not a bad thing at all.
Thank you very much. I was going to stick with khorne red but I risked it all to go to evil sunz. I like the stark contrast with the dark green and it gives that retro feel as well which I like 🙂
Honestly I think this is a tutorialt hat shows a pretty easily achievable and realistic quality for newer people so long as they are patient.
thank you :D I apreciate that
Easy to follow and beautiful.
And really nice cut videos front and back.
Plz I need tutorial for How to paint Possessed Chaos Marines.
They kinda hard because of flesh mix with armor especially with wings infuse with backpack.How many type flesh colour can use for them?
As someone that is restarting my old dark angels army this is invaluable, thanks mate
your very welcome, I really want to do some more Dark Angel stuff later this year
Thank you
Yay, I'm not the only one with Caliban/warpstone chunky highlights. Good to see I'm on the right track.
I’m also glad someone has done it this way haha I’m in the right track as well. We’re not alone anymore
Great tutorial
Thank you 😊
This is the video I use to help me paint my dark angel, granted mine don’t look as good as yours but it has helped me a lot when it comes to painting.
I'm glad it helped :) really its just time and pratice. I've been doing this a long time now. I beleive your get there :D probably a lot faster than I did as well
super thank you
Super thank you right back at yah 👋🏻
nice work 👍
Thank you 😃
Just found this video. So good! I’m considering repainting these and will use this!!!
Any chance you could also do a deathwing video??
I’m sure to be honest. I would like to do some more dark angel units. For now I’m still waiting to get hold of the lion
Love your videos could you also do one on the death wing and raven wing part of the dark angels.
Next year I’ll be doing more of the second founding chapters and i’ll
Probably include those along with them
I really love your DA Green. Its a lot less saturated then the GW green, really giving them a proper grimdark vibe. Awesome work!
Thank you 😊 I aim to please
@@TableTopReadyUA-cam oh and thank you! I am the guy who told you about buying the orc set or waiting for 10th edition. I bought the orcs now and Im having a blast assempling and painting them. I decided to mix all the clans together for a proper orky look and vibe! You tutorials are a great help.
Thanks and Have a happy new year :)
I remember :D I'm glad you decided to get started with your Orks. You can get away with a lot more mistakes and being messy ha
Let's go next plague marines!
I'd like to see you paint them.
This may happen
New to the hobby, what are those mounts you use to hold the individual bits while you paint? Thanks for the video.
They are blocks from a cheap version of the Jenga game. I have tutorial on how to get miniatures ready for painting where I show you how I do it
Beautiful paint job. Thinking of using the armour painting on robes for some Adepta Sororitas.
I'm new to painting, so would this armour scheme work well for the cloth parts of sisters? Not sure if the armour colouring would look different on cloth parts of a model
I am planning on doing the sisters combat patrol box, probably in June if you can wait untill then. in the mean time a lot of my other tutorials I paint robes and cloth
, especially the Custodes videos to kind of get and idea of how its done. are you wantong to paint green cloth? if so, as a beginner i would start with a mid tone colour. something like Warboss Green and then highlight the rasied folds with Skarsnik Green. If you want to a bone colour, watch my new Ultramarines tutorial to see how i painted the Captains robes, its simple. Ushabti bone and Screaming Skull to highlight
@TableTopReadyUA-cam Thanks for the reply Michael!
Excited to see you paint up some sisters.
For their scheme, I'm looking to try and do a dark green 'necron-esque' colour scheme for them.
Your dark angels armour looks really good, and I think it'll achieve what I want for the cloth parts of a sister model, with their armour being black
How do you put the model parts on the wood, do you glue them or use a other substance to hold while you paint the sub assembled model.
Depends. You can use either super glue or blue tac. I do have a tutorial showing you my process 😃
Huge fan of this. Got my Dark Angels box coming tomorrow. I don't have anywhere near the colours suggested here. But I think I've got a fair few. A question though. I have a white AP spray but I was thinking a black undercoat is best. Is Abadon Black Base colour OK as my first layer?
If that’s what you have then that’s not a problem at all. I think just painting the caliban green first should still be okay. If you do find it too light for your taste just do an all over wash with the nuln oil and layer up with caliban again in place of the recess shade. This will be easier than painting black then caliban 👍🏻
@@TableTopReadyUA-cam That's an interesting idea! I managed to pick up one of those “Start Painting” Space Marine boxes as well. So I might scratch off the Ultramarine stuff and use those 3 as test models. Thanks for the tip!
Black Templar next plz
🤔 black Templar
Thank u very much for an awesome video❤tho I have a question👀why did u paint the bolter with mephistone red if u r gonna paint evil suns scarlet all over it?😮sorry I just got into warhammer so I got so curious😅
hmmmm good question. This is actually a tutorial I'm planning on updating very soon. I wasn't super happy with it. I think it was because Mephiston red is a base colour and I wanted the evil suns to stand out more. I recon I'll have a new Dark Angel tutorial by the end of the year of beginning of next year :D so look forward to it
@@TableTopReadyUA-cam thank you so much!!keep up with the good work and looking forward to seeing the new video🫡💕
Sold me on dark angles. Btw you have warpstone glow in the paints twice. Saved me 5 bucks lol, thanks for your work
Awesome. I did realise haha your the first person to say something. Unfortunately I can’t really do anything about it now 😋 you’ll probably see plenty of other little issues here and there in all my videos. Kind of like where’s Wolly
Having trouble with fine highlights and not getting the paint to spread right. Im useing 6$ princeton selects atm but was wondering if using a sable brush makes them easier
I use the citadel brushes. It could be the quality, you want a really nice point in the brush that can pint a really thin line basically. Other wise highlighting just takes a lot of practice. You could get some magnifiers or a pie of cheap reading glasses making it easier to see as well
@@TableTopReadyUA-cam ok ill try our a gw brush didnt want to spend 30 on a w&n ti i get a little better. I do not have a brush with a very fine point. Thanks
I used Windsor and newton for a time. The problem is that no brush is made equal. So quality still varies even with expensive brushes. That’s why I use cheaper brushes now. Just spend a little time of you can in the shop checking them out. I’ve also had good experiences with Expo tool brushes and they’re cheap 👍🏻 0 or 1 are the sizes you want
For some who is need to paining and is not that good what can you recommend, any advice
Check out my painting your first miniature video. This is the best place to start
This is about to be my first ever model that i’m painting. I unfortunately only have access to one brush and one shade of green and i’ve already assembled my space marine but wish me luck!
Good luck, I believe in you. just focus on learning the actual process of painting. thinning it and applying it. don't worry too much out it looks. just being neat and tidy makes a massive difference.
Does plastic glue work on painted surfaces? Or would you have to use superglue or something?
If you want to use plastic glue after you have painted, you’ll need to scrape away paint from the connecting areas. Otherwise I would use super glue.
I’m still new to painting a few issues I’m having are,
1 thinning paints, 2 paint eyes/ lenses, 3 keeping a straight/pointed brush.
I've been painting for over 20 years and I still have issues with all of those :P It just comes down to practice and experiance. Don't be so hard on yourself. Watch my highlighting video, this goes into how I apprach painting and things that help. not just for highlighting.
Thank you for your help/ advice I’m completely new to painting, I picked up leviathan and I am painting them dark angle themed.
Some areas of my armour are thicker than others, i also am currently painting the lion, that’s been difficult.
What brush is best for the fine highlight lines
I recommend watching my recent highlighting tutorial to help 🖖🏻
Did you leave the shoulder armor off and paint that separately too? I'm about to start painting my dark angels and this video is a blessing thanks man!
I did leave the shoulder pads off, it’s not necessary but it just makes it easier sticking the arms in when your done painting
I've watched this video at least 10 times trying to retain as much info as possible, i want my dark angels to look just like these.
Make sure to use those spare parts to practice on. I’m very keen to do more dark angel stuff in the future
@@TableTopReadyUA-cam i would love to see you paint Azrael, i got the wrath of the soulforge King as a gift and i dont know what should i do in regard of Azrael.
Silly question, but how do you attach your miniature to your woob handle?
I have a tutorial showing you how to get your miniatures ready for painting 😁 check it out
Where can I get those Bases? And could u do a Mentors Space Marine Tutorial
If you just google clear plastic warhammer bases you’ll find loads of places you can buy them. There will be a time I explore other chapters but probably in the future
Great tutorial! But I wonder if you ever gonna make Deathwing tutorial...
Yes. Probably towards the end of the year. 💪🏻
At some point can you do a how to on painting a meganob black
If you check out my Ork mega warboss tutorial, I basically do goff megaarmour and you can use all the same techniques to paint your normal meganobs as well 👍🏻
@@TableTopReadyUA-cam You’z gotz it boss
Where do you get the clear bases, btw?
Just google acrylic based for warhammer. Loads of places do them now and they pretty cheap as well
Don't have warpstone glow would mixing caliban green with white be an alternative?
It depends. If you just want to try this out on just 1 marine then that would be fine. I would use yellow instead of white by the way. If your planning on painting an army then I would invest in warpstone. It keeps the colour consistent across your whole army and honestly it’s a pain to have to mix paints. A pot of paint for the ease and peace of mind is worth it
Yea I tried it on one marine it looks ok first time highlighting though but definitely gonna go get warpstone tomorrow the video is very helpful also first time painting in nearly 20years 🙈
Welcome back 😁 good luck. I recon the lion will be back this year as well 😉
Yea hopefully my skills have improved by the time the new model comes out
I'd love to see some space wolves.
I’m sure I’ll
Get round to doing them 😁
@@TableTopReadyUA-cam absolute hero.
@@TableTopReadyUA-cam Any update on the terrain video to match your awesome ork paint style? I love that bright vibrant skin tone.
I'm SOOOOOOO glad you didn't say "pop"!!!
I make an effort not to 😂
What kind of glue do you use? Does anyone know?
To glue plastic together. I recommend using poly cement or plastic glue. Lots of choice out there. The citedal one is very good or Tamiya is very popular
In the olden days of way back when, we would paint creamy robes and boney terminators by working our way from bestial brown over bubonic brown all the way up to bleached bone with an edge highlight of skull. (Mournfang brown, Zamesi desert, Ushabti bone, any white not from Citadel with Screaming Skull as a modern intermediary step)
I remember ha you really got me going down memory lane with those paint names.
How do you stick all the different pieces to the wood?
I use either super glue or blu tac. I have a video called getting your miniatures ready for painting
@@TableTopReadyUA-cam Thanks for the advice and the quick response! I'll check out the video while I'm at it
What is that stuff you’ve stuck the models to?
The clear acrylic bases? Or the Jenga blocks I use to paint them? I have a dedicated video showing you how i get my miniatures ready for painting
Just watched it, what a method! I thought it was some kind of sticky foam because of the spray paint 😅 I’ll have to get one of those scraping tools I use a nail file at the moment but it gives texture sometimes
I use a metal needle file as well. Just depends on how corse it is. The higher number like 600 grit is about right and doesn’t leave too much of a texture
😊
how long does it take you to highlight everything?
To highlight 1 space would usually take about 2-3 hours I recon
@@TableTopReadyUA-cam you don’t have to highlight everything. Only Powerarmor would do nicely
Alright, I tried this on the tactical marines of the Dark Vengence set...not working too well. Too "mono-pose" and lack of detail. I'm just going to do the 1st chunky highlight on their armor and then follow your steps on the guns. I'll 100% do this to all primaris marines in the future.
I remember those marines. The new primaris are worlds apart easier to paint and highlight. I would do the same and just do the one highlight which is more than enough. You still get to practice your highlight skills as well 💪🏻
Question I don’t own skarsink green would moot green work instead
Moot green is very different to skarsnik but mootgreen is what the studio now use to highlight their dark angels. I do plan on updating this tutorial, hopefully by the end of the year if you can wait 👌🏻
Yeah that be great I’m using this video to paint my dark angel.
I’m currently still painting the leviathan box set space marine part.
Great tutorial, and I will follow it tomorrow painting my Dark Angels. But I will also troll you for how you painted eye lenses. Those two white spots should not be on the opposite sides, but on the same, left or right. So many people get this wrong. This looks stupid, like squint-eyed helmet:). Maybe such painting has some purpose - so you can see this dot from greater angle, but it's unnatural. Anyway, this is opinion of only one man. This tutorial was a lesson for me. I did not painted many years and such videos helps a lot.
I’m glad you liked the tutorial and it’s helped 😃 when things are done like the eye lenses it more of a graphic style and interpretation. You wouldn’t get highlights on objects like this either. It’s just about what looks good 😋 this is kind of the games workshop style. If you want to do the lenses differently then go for it 💪🏻 I’m just here to show you 1 of the ways it can be done
Used too m any different paints...
🤔 you can use as many paints as you like. I’m just showing what’s possible.
Why you don't layering the green armour ? Than you don't need to made the black areas & lines again ?!?
Honestly layering up to leave the recesses unpainted is going to take longer. It’s not going to look as good either. But if that’s what the way you prefer then that’s how you should do it.
I guarantee you’ll end up painting green in those recesses anyway 😋
@@TableTopReadyUA-cam it makes sens when you wanted it so fast is possible. Sure is this the way who works for me well ;D
as good as this is, this is a perfect example of why extreme edge highlights are stupid. This is not me saying youre a bad painter, this is me saying the whole extreme edge highlighting should be stopped
It's a choice of many, to say it should be stopped is silly. just don't paint using edge highlights. But I do agree it isn't for everyone. you do you :)
Saw a fallen. Gotta go
