hey man, i just started my Thousand sons army this week and followed your tutorial for my marines and so far they just look fantastic ! thanks for the video!!
Following this guide and other guides from this UA-camr as he gives sounds advice, details what to do and why I should do it. These models are considered to be hard to paint compared to some armies but I now feel I can take on the challenge with these tutorials. Keep up the good work.
I really appreciate your tutorials. Your painting is vibrant and super ‘clean ‘ ... I’m always attempting to improve and many of your techniques/explanation has gone miles to help me with my work. Thanks so much for all your time & effort
Hey man, I am expanding my thousand sons marines. This video was a brilliant guide to help me improve my painting! Thank you so much. I was blown away by the final product. Fantastic work!
This is exactly what I was looking for! This model is over the top in difficulty so I think I can put a good use too this as a base for my other 10k Sons! Thanks!
Yes, thanks very much - have a great Christmas and keep the great videos coming! :) (I finally finished painting my Tech Priest Dominus - man, that took me forever)
The Guilliman blue idea is very nifty, I've gone the route of basing the entire mini gold (with Vallejo Game Air's range), then painting the blue areas. I think I'll give that glaze a shot for those areas, it looks fantastic.
How did you find painting over the gold? I generally prefer to paint inner areas first and then trims/outer areas afterwards otherwise I probably would have adopted a similar technique.
I really gotta ask what are these brushes with the very short but stiff bristles, they look a bit well clustered and won't bend very easily, all my brushes are VERY thin and very long and I can never find these gw brushes with these thick cluster of short but unflexing pencil tip like points that look so amazing for controlling the paint direction/flow.
they are just regular GW brushes, small base brush is a bit stiffer but if the flexibility of the brush is giving you problems it's simply that you're applying too much pressure
Superb video. Me and a friend of mine are currently reading our way through the Horus Heresy books. Yet to begin collecting miniatures yet but he is going Ultramarines and I'm choosing Thousand Sons. This video was great to watch. Tbh I'm feeling intimidated at the prospect of painting such small figures.
Good luck! At first, don't worry too much about the extra steps such as the highlights and the glazes. Focus on getting some smooth and neat base colours and getting to grips with the washes. That will give you some decent looking models that you can start to play with. As you get more practice start to branch out into some of the trickier techniques. Hope that helps!
@@PeteTheWargamer Cheers. We plan on starting painting soon now we've bought models, brushes and paints etc. I'm going to attempt to have my Rubric Marines painted like the Blades Of Magnus. Only problem I'm having is choosing what colour primer to use as a spray. Black or grey? Also (as Ive bought them) should I be using shades after a basecoat? Because the Citadel App as amazing as it is in telling you what paints to buy, I'm unsure if the order is correct. Sometimes it says base, layer, shade etc whereas I thought you should be shading after a basecoat
I absolutely love these tutorials but please show the other parts of the model you're painting so we noobs can get an idea of what each part should be looking like!
Thanks for another awesome tutorial. You have a great voice for it and are very easy to follow! Will you be finishing the silver tower set at some point?
HA! okay, that cracked me up - you paint so many of the silver tower series minis that you actually started to say that: '..with the silver tower.. with the silver parts of the miniature finished..' :p
Amazing tutorial as always, love that tone for 1000-sons. :D Will you be also doing some board game miniature in near future? From Silver Tower or other board game? Thank you very much.
Can you show us how to paint freki and geri Leman Russ wolf-kin from forge world? Just trying to get any idea how to paint a good looking white & brown wolves thanks
Nice video. I've just found my recipe for the blue. Gold almost there, I prefer P3 metallics. Thanks for the video. Any thoughts on basing? Still haven't decided on a basing scheme. My Rubrics (and army) are a bit bright I've been told so something perhaps showing emerging fresh from the Warp maybe.
I gotta ask, does anyone know when assembling these little bastards are the torso is actually suppose connect to the legs, its like a single SLIVER of very smooth plastic thats suppose to glue to another very SMOOTH sliver of plastic and neither seem to quite meld or sync up wel, like trying to glue two marbles together. Theres only a VERY tiny amount of plastic that doesn't seem to support the upper torso weight that actually touches each other, I find myself constantly having to reglue these impossible little things back together after their torso keeps falling off their legs >.
Hi, I recently bought some thousand son models and I really want to start painting them but I dont know which primer to use. Do you know how much of a difference it would make to the colours on the model if I used retributor armour spray instead of the grey spray you have used? :)
The War Gamer Yeah I've seen them all and they are amazing! What I meant to ask about is for example the new lord of change that is going to be released and other non-silver-tower tzeentch minis.
I dunno what it is but my thousand sons blue comes out WAAAAAAAAAAYYYYY darker than ANY of the thousand sons blue I see in this painting video or the actual one GW released on how to paint these guys and its bugging the crap out of me, I want that soft but bright blue that just POP very pleasingly out to the eye, instead I basically get one hair shade lighter than guiliman blue -_-
Lahmian Medium is essentially a shade paint without any pigment in it. It allows you to dilute the colour of your paints without losing their consistency. To achieve the same dilution with water, you'd use so much you'd end up with a paint so thin it would become very patchy and difficult to control.
So shades are washes, they are intended to flow into recesses to create shading. However many will sightly adjust the surface shade that they are applied to. A Glaze on the other hand is a thin layer of translucent paint that will modify the colour but is not intended to flow into the recesses. Glazes are used to create colour transitions from one colour to another. They can also be used to modify a colour too. If you were to apply Bloodletter, which is a red glaze, over a white base you would get a pink colour with each subsequent layer increasing the intensity of the red.
You can use water with shades, a lot of people say not to but it's fine so long as you use clean/distilled water and never apply your washes too heavily.

You're welcome :D

I'd love to see you do an epic figure like Magnus or the new Lord of change when it comes out

Many thanks for all the great videos this year. I hope that you have a Very Merry Christmas and a Very Happy New Year.
Have Fun,
Joe

Drinking game! Take a shot for every time he says "Lamium Medium" or "water" XD
Mewyk91 3:45 alrdaey drukn
You'll be dead of alcohol poisoning before the video's even halfway done.
I woke up naked from the waste down, in a puddle of my own urine.
Though I can't remember playing, I'm assuming I won.
or nuln oil
Great work Pete, I've 22 to paint and this tut's just perfect.
You are thee best painting tutorial youtuber.
Thank you very much, that's very nice of you to say :)
The War Gamer no problem. You deserve the applause.
I always enjoy & learn from your tutorials. You explain very well & make excellent resource materials for future projects. Thanks for your time & work
Very impressive! I look forward to future tutorials.
Yes, thanks very much - have a great Christmas and keep the great videos coming! :) (I finally finished painting my Tech Priest Dominus - man, that took me forever)
Dang. Great job!
Another fantastic tutorial. Thanks a lot for your effort!

I would have painted the blue for any other model, but there's so many intricate areas I went the other route haha.
they are just regular GW brushes, small base brush is a bit stiffer but if the flexibility of the brush is giving you problems it's simply that you're applying too much pressure
Do you drill holes in the different pieces to attach them to the paper clips? Or just use something like blue-tac?

Holy shit you're on 14k subs, I remember when you just hit 4k. Grats dude keep going
This time last year I was on around 3k subs, it really has catapulted over he last 12 months. Thanks for your support!
Loving your channel, any chance you could paint some Games Workshop wood elves? Prefer way watchers or characters
Just amazing
Many thanks for the tutorial!
I absolutely love these tutorials but please show the other parts of the model you're painting so we noobs can get an idea of what each part should be looking like!

This is fantastic. Do you not prime the models?
HA! okay, that cracked me up - you paint so many of the silver tower series minis that you actually started to say that: '..with the silver tower.. with the silver parts of the miniature finished..' :p

so many thanks, here is warhammer player from china, may I show it to my friends let them learn how to paint them?
Great job! one more sub for u.
very beattiful this terminator ,by
He says ‘With the Baharoth Blue Glaze now completed-“ right after he did a Guiliman Blue Glaze, bruh, how u mess that up?
Can you show us how to paint freki and geri Leman Russ wolf-kin from forge world? Just trying to get any idea how to paint a good looking white & brown wolves thanks
Are are you going to do the Chaos Familers for Sliver Tower?
Eventually yes, I only have two heroes and the familiars left the do now!
OK awesome
Nice video. I've just found my recipe for the blue. Gold almost there, I prefer P3 metallics. Thanks for the video. Any thoughts on basing? Still haven't decided on a basing scheme. My Rubrics (and army) are a bit bright I've been told so something perhaps showing emerging fresh from the Warp maybe.
Really nice job mate
If they were available at the time, would you have used the new thousand sons paints for the armour on the kairic acolytes, and tzaangors?
I don't even play 40k but these thousand sons, I want to buy paint them up (probably half as good as you did).
They are lovely miniatures to paint up, I highly recommend picking them up.
I gotta ask, does anyone know when assembling these little bastards are the torso is actually suppose connect to the legs, its like a single SLIVER of very smooth plastic thats suppose to glue to another very SMOOTH sliver of plastic and neither seem to quite meld or sync up wel, like trying to glue two marbles together. Theres only a VERY tiny amount of plastic that doesn't seem to support the upper torso weight that actually touches each other, I find myself constantly having to reglue these impossible little things back together after their torso keeps falling off their legs >.
Try to pin them if you're having trouble: ua-cam.com/video/9jrikxFVqOM/v-deo.html&lc=z13tj5or4uyeshyor04ccrzimlqasvswoes
may i ask how long you dry between layers. eg on the sword going from nuln oil to stormhost silver
Guilliman Blue isn't available anymore ... what to use instead?
How about kitbashing some WF ogres into ogryns
Hi, I recently bought some thousand son models and I really want to start painting them but I dont know which primer to use. Do you know how much of a difference it would make to the colours on the model if I used retributor armour spray instead of the grey spray you have used? :)
could you please do a painting tutorial for the 40k ahriman model?
so are they eyes ulthurn grey or scar white? :P
Are you going to do some painting tutorials on the new Disciples of Tzeentch minis when they come out?
Kuter I've actually already tackled them as part of my Silver Tower painting series :)
The War Gamer Yeah I've seen them all and they are amazing! What I meant to ask about is for example the new lord of change that is going to be released and other non-silver-tower tzeentch minis.
is there a name change to guilliman blue?
It's been discontinued, but you can thin out some talassar blue with some lahmian medium and use it in the same way
nice
I dunno what it is but my thousand sons blue comes out WAAAAAAAAAAYYYYY darker than ANY of the thousand sons blue I see in this painting video or the actual one GW released on how to paint these guys and its bugging the crap out of me, I want that soft but bright blue that just POP very pleasingly out to the eye, instead I basically get one hair shade lighter than guiliman blue -_-
That seems very strange, maybe you had a bad batch?
Mine turns out darker too
Would Terminators be Rubricae?
Lol did you catch the edit? 16:56
What's the difference between using water or Lahmian Medium for thinning? (Washes and layers)
Lahmian Medium is essentially a shade paint without any pigment in it. It allows you to dilute the colour of your paints without losing their consistency. To achieve the same dilution with water, you'd use so much you'd end up with a paint so thin it would become very patchy and difficult to control.
Hi, great looking mini. What primer do you use?
I alternate between the Army Painter Uniform Grey and Halfords Grey Primer
Could you do Horus heresy alpha legion plz
Ahriman?
Whats the difference between an shade and a Glace ?
So shades are washes, they are intended to flow into recesses to create shading. However many will sightly adjust the surface shade that they are applied to. A Glaze on the other hand is a thin layer of translucent paint that will modify the colour but is not intended to flow into the recesses. Glazes are used to create colour transitions from one colour to another.
They can also be used to modify a colour too. If you were to apply Bloodletter, which is a red glaze, over a white base you would get a pink colour with each subsequent layer increasing the intensity of the red.
@@PeteTheWargamer ah ok
Guilliman blue i can't find anywhere
It's been discontinued, but you can thin out some talassar blue with some lahmian medium and use it in the same way
Awesome thankyou .thats why the lady in my local hobby shop couldn't find it then thanks great video and finished model 👍
I miss glazes
18:41 That overspill was painful to watch, especially as I do it all the time
never use water for citadel shades. hope you stoped doing it in 2018 :) lol
You can use water with shades, a lot of people say not to but it's fine so long as you use clean/distilled water and never apply your washes too heavily.
The War Gamer I never had luck with water thinned shades, stains or weird look in general
No prime?
I use a grey primer 0:32
I see a mistake on the cloak at 22:32 some of that gold trim is been brush onto the cloak ;D hurray for the internet
ozom
I think you're trying too much to be like Duncan from Warhammer TV. Still a great vid though
