What's really great about this tutorial is it's a much more noob friendly approach to white armor. So many tutorials for white armor do all the white details first and any darker tone after which leaves very little room for mistake for newer painters.
I’m really glad you think so. I always think about the best order of things rather that painting each detail at a time. I think about the model as a whole. In reality I’m a super lazy painter so my goal is to paint in as few steps as possible in a way I can be a bit messy and carefree about it but still have it look good 😁 that’s my style 🤪
Love the side-by-side comparison after each step!
Thank you, I think it's a great way to show all the steps together and helps visually
@@TableTopReadyUA-cam agreed. I find it difficult to realize what effects some painting steps have in other videos, or when I paint myself.
This takes the guesswork out and shows that every step is worth it (or can be skipped if you personally want to save some time).
I really like your method of painting white armor, it simple and easy to replicate! Plus that power weapon tutorial is very noob friendly, I definitely have to try it out!
Thank you as always ☺️
Thanks for the guide. I’m going to start gathering the paints you used to try this on my own :)
Good luck :D
Really good tutorial. All your videos are great, and while noob friendly, you get a very clean and great final result. Keep up the good job.
Would love a Salamanders tutorial tbh.
I will be doing some space marines here and there regularly amongst other videos. In my mind it will be blood angels then dark angels then salamanders. So I would expect one in the next couple Of months hopefully 😁 thanks for the comment
@@TableTopReadyUA-cam That's great. TBH I'm learning and have a lot of Space Marines to paint (damn Imperium collection, lol) so I would try to paint them in more thank 1 chapter.
Looking forward to see more :D
That guy looks stellar. Really pops off. Not as shiny as a regular Custodes, but still a very striking scheme that will look the business in an army.
Also really digging your choice to go with clear bases for your models. Some would call it lazy, but as far as I'm concerned the clear bases just mean that they will fit in on any table.
I'm all about bright and vibrant. I like using the clear bases as well for my videos because it puts all the focus onto the miniature and some part of it is laziness haha so I don't have to worry about doing the base as well. a couple of my own armies do use these bases and it does help them fit into any kind of themed table
Been looking for a simple but effective power sword look. Tyvm 👍
No problem. I’m hopefully gonna do a dedicated glazing video in the future
Nice tutorial you earn a like and comment on this day may the emperor bless you
Thank you :D
Just started out and have been watching your videos. There easily the best on here and have been helping me greatly. Great vids.. 👍
That’s a huge compliment and really appreciate it. I love making these tutorials and I’m looking forward to getting even more out 😁
What? How does this channel ONLY HAVE 10K SUBSCRIBERS LIKE THESE ARE THE EASIEST TO PAINT TO MAKE IT SIMPLE TO UNDERSTAND AND U DON'T USE 500 DIFFERENT PAINTS FROM 50 DIFFERENT COMPANYS
Thank you very much, the channel is growing pretty quickly :D I'll be on 100k in no time ha
Amazing job man, this is by far the easiest color scheme tutorial, like the colors are basic and barely used wash, Amazing Job man thanks a lot!
Thank you for the lovely comment. I’m glad you enjoyed the tutorial 😁
Great tutorial and you've become my favorite, go to channel!
Wow that’s a huge compliment, thank you so much. I’ll try to keep the tutorials coming
Love how clean this looks, following it for my Custodes
Good luck 😃 have fun
Another great tutorial, gets me in the mood to paint
thank you, I'm glad I can provide some motivation for yah
looks great. Time to go a Dark Angel Deathwing Terminator.
That is a great idea 👍🏻
I'm not a very stable clean painter but I'm giving this the best shot Ive got
good luck, I believe in you. just take you time with it. they don't have to be perfect and even if you make mistakes, when they're finished, everything will look great overall. practice on your spare bits first in the box
I think when I get into the hobby I might use this color scheme for my deathwing terminators. I definitely want a more light bone colored scheme for my deathwing.
This would be great for some deathwing. I would like to do a tutorial for deathwing, maybe I’ll have time after 10th has settled
Nice. Doing a Custodes Kill Team just now and these vids have been a real help.
Awsome. A custodes kill team? Surely that’s just 1 miniature then haha glad I could help 🖖🏻
@@TableTopReadyUA-cam 4 actually! But yeah- quality over quantity.
My favorite Custodes scheme looking really awesome and fairly easy to paint. Thx for the great tutorial. Looking forward for more.
Thank you very much. My main aim is to come up with a nice and easy straight forward paint scheme to get a really great looking result 😃
Lovely tutorial, love the edits and I appreciate it probably took you some time to put this together. Thank you!
I appreciate the appreciation. these videos do take some effort to put together and I wish I could do it faster, but I all the effort is really worth it knowing how much people enjoy them and find them useful
You are dangerously close to being my go to painting guide. Now if you ever put out a t'au vior'la vid then you'll have all my armies covered haha
I would love to do some Tau tutorials in the future and no doubt it will be that scheme. It’s just a matter of when I do it, but I wouldn’t expect anything anytime soon 😃
Your tutorials are some of my favourite on here :)
Thank you, that means a lot to hear that
Great video mate!
Thank you ☺️
Best tutorial!
Thank you 😁
Man this was such a fantastic vid. Like you done this in such a way that makes me confident in giving it a go now .
I’m glad I’ve given you some confidence. I believe all it takes it’s knowledge and practice 😁 I believe in yah 💪🏻
Appreciated
Amazing tutorial best of the best
Thank you very much 😊
Thanks!
thank you so much for the donation, it really helps
I was going to go white white but now I’m toying with the idea of ivory
I hope you enjoy painting your custodies 😃
Amazing !
Thank you as always
This content is amazing
thank you very much, I'm glad you think so
Nice! I've got some Stormcast Eternals I want to paint and I think this technique will translate really well to those models.
Ooo that sounds like a great idea. 🤔 I recon this colour scheme would look amazing in stormcast. Do it 💪🏻
Good tutorial! Jist picked up a bunch of cistodes second hand and wanted to ise thos scheme for them, though Om thinking of trying to simplify it further and replacing everything between spraying and the sepia recess shade with a very thinned down skeleton horde contrast wash. Could even go over the gold too with little difficulty, will have to experiment.
skeleton horde contrast would work. I would still use lahmian medium as contrast medium dries quickly. make sure if you're not going to paint a base colour then you'll need to not miss areas with the spray. good luck :D
Ayy he uploaded :D
💪🏻 I did and I’m gonna try and be more consistent moving forward 😁
Mega as always
Thank you 😆
Could you please for future videos shows how to paint the head so that people can get a better understanding
That is a very good idea 😁
thank you ! i could not get a nice white for my solar watch ! i'll go get some screaming skull !
Awesome. I did have a think about wether it should be white or bone but games workshop’s images of them have them in a more bone armour. I hope this way of doing it works for you 👍🏻
Hey, great Tutorial! Love the Channel! Could you do a Video on trajan valoris? Would Love to See Ur Take in the Lion pelt. Also to See U Paint some Sisters of silence would be amazing!
Keep Up the great Work!
That’s a really good idea. I may just do that in the future 😁
Great tutorials! Can you please do Eldar next?
Don’t worry I’m gonna be doing loads of elder tutorials once some of the new kits starting coming out
Nice Job!!! Thanks for tutorial
Thank you and you’re very welcome
I love this, great work dude
Thank you very much 😃
I’d be really awesome to see a tutorial of the classic T’au sept.
I feel like some tau tutorials will need doing considering how many requests I’ve been getting haha
Good video! Can’t wait to see what you do next. Could you do a ADMech model next?
I’ve no plans for admech anytime soon but I’m sure I will get round to it eventually 😁
@@TableTopReadyUA-cam All good! Take your time!
Those robes are clean!! Could we get a tutorial on how to paint the Genestealer Cult Neophytes?
I would love to do some GSC I’m just not sure when that will happen though
This is really good! I would try this, but dont have any white paint, looking forward to what you do next.
You’ll have to get some of that sweet wraithbone spray 😁
Nice work. I have also a Solar Watch Projekt on the table painting a bit different but yours seems very good ;)
Awesome, I'm glad you liked the tutorial. There is no one way of painting something, I just hope I can provide some inspiration no matter how you paint your's
Could u do a Lieutenant Tolmeron Tutorial next pls?
I do have a blood angels tutorial already up, I can’t imagine I’d do much different to be honest. 😃
Any chance of a sisters of battle painting tutorial? Martyred lady bro
I would really like to do some sisters of battle in the future so I'm sure I'll get round it :)
@@TableTopReadyUA-cam if you do bro, I will see, I have subscribed too you now, your work is really good and I like how you explain your work. I paint space wolves 30k an sisters ofcourse. And looking to start custodes because why not,
Need more Ork content.
There’ll always be more Orks to paint don’t worry
I love bone color schemes but if I want to paint purple robes instead of red ones, which colors would you recommend? Also do you plan on doing sisters of silence too?
There are so many things to paint and not enough time. If i do sisters of silence, it won’t be in the near future. For purple robes I would use naggaroth night and xereus 👍🏻
@@TableTopReadyUA-cam I feel you with the time. Finals are in the coming weeks and I gotta study. But when they’re done I’ll paint my minis for days. Thanks for the answer and also great video to follow, especially with the before and after pictures.
Great video! Thank you! If I wanted to do the power weapon red, what colors would you recommend? Any chance you could help me with those? Just started my army and your videos are super helpful. Thanks!
brilliant, I'm glad my videos have been helpful. there is quite a few reds to choose from. If you check out some of my other tutorials, I cover a few different ways to paint red. You have the weapons in the Black Templar tutorial, gun in the Flash gitz tutorial and even th ehead in the Tau commander tutorial. if you watch those, you can see yourself what it coud look like. But if it was me I would use Khorne Red, Evil Sunz and Fire dragon Bright.
great tutorial, just a question tho, isn't there other options for the highlight on the golden parts? silver doesnt look that good for my liking and it looks like, uh... a silver shoulder that was painted gold on top
Thank you. I agree there are other ways of highlighting gold and it’s personal preference. I never think the way I paint my miniatures is the only or best way. I just hope people can gain a bit of Inspiration for painting their own. I use stormhost silver personally because I like my highlights to really stand out. You could use liberator gold or Auric gold if you wanted to avoid silver.
Great stuff buddy how long does it take for you to paint a table top standard mini?
It really depends on what your painting. I can take a week painting a unit of upto 10 miniatures or a large character. Depends how I’m feeling ha
Just a quick question, what are the things you're using to sub-assemble your models? I see a small spike coming out of the arm socket where you're then able to glue the arm on. What is that called and where perhaps can I get it? This is definitely the way that I'd prefer to put my models (Especially Custodes) together.
I do have a video going through all of that. I show you how to get your miniatures ready for painting. 😃
Nice work. Any chance we can get a Shadowkeepers scheme?
That may just be what I’m working on next 😉
This there anyway we can get a ShadowKeepers tutorial???
Don't you worry, I'm working on it right now
Amazing, judging by your Insta you used to have a White Scars guide? Any chance you could revisit that?
That was a kind of beta test channel. I will get around to doing all the chapters over the next 6 months I recon 😁
I assume next video is the shadow watch
😉 it might be
Hey, what size brush do you use for the base coats?
I believe this was back when I used a size 1 Windsor and Newton series 7. Don’t worry too much about the size. Just use a brush you like to use
Can you use regular acrylic paints and distress paints or does the paint have to specifically be for miniatures?
The only thing you want to be aware of is what kind of paint it is. Mostly paints for miniatures are water based acrylics. As well as citadel you have the Vallejo range and army painter range. You can paint your miniatures with anything you want really. The benefit to a range like citadel is the variety of what’s available to use. People use oils, enamels etc etc. Just try things out. If is a cost
Reason then the Vallejo range is a great price wise.
@@TableTopReadyUA-cam Ah okay, I was just wondering what my options were with paints before I start painting my Necrons. Thank you for the info!
Like it
Thank you 😊
How do you make the washes on the off white look so clean?
if you follow the steps in the tutorial, you'll get the same results :D thinning the washes with lamina medium helps as well haha
@@TableTopReadyUA-cam ah perhaps I did not thin them enough then!
how long does it take you to paint a single miniature to this standard? do you do it in one sitting?
I don’t think I could finish a miniature in one sitting. Something like this custode takes a couple of days at least.
@@TableTopReadyUA-cam what a relief :D these videos give the impression that you just churn them out ^^
How is your Screaming Skull so pale???? Mine is quite dark, even through an airbrush.
It will be the same don’t worry.could be the lighting, maybe a different undercoat. Tones change as well once you shade and highlight them
that sort of gangsta rap tune in the background is highly annoying sir.
I’m ready to change it soon 😛
