You’ve made me want to start salamanders for my first army! Love this video end result is mad!
Thank you so much
Really great to hear you enjoyed the video and it’s inspired you.
Salamanders by far is my favorite chapter but I only recently got into making an army for the table top. (3 weeks ago I started) I was decently happy with my first model but it was nothing like I wanted. Upon watching this video it has definitely given me the confidence to keep trying and get better with painting!
"My armor is friendship, my cloak is drake and my banner is FIRE. Prepare to die!"
This is a fantastic tutorial. As a beginner I've been agonising over whether to apply an all over wash of Biel-Tan Green or just in the crevices. Before seeing your method I was going to attempt the latter believing it was the superior technique but seeing how you applied a watered down layer of Warpstone Glow over the raised parts of the shaded armour, making for a richer transition between light and dark; I believe your method will indeed provide the best effect. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Thank you. Recess shading will certainly work, but as you say, I prefer the all over approach as I can then decide just where to finish my blends and build up my brightness as I choose. Recess shading leaves everything very flat to work from
great guide, and I appreciate the soothing music in the background. Got a regular Bob Ross over here.
Thank you for watching. Great to hear you enjoyed it 👍🏻
Absolutly amazing man.. not just a standard "here i just glaze until its done" into a jumpcut of how it looks after the paintjob.. but actually showing how you do it, step by step very slowly and understandable for people like me xD thank you so much.
Thank you, really glad you found it helpful. I try and show the process as best I can, without it getting boring for the viewer. So, to hear I got it right for this video is really appreciated :)
Awesome video! As a returning salamanders guy this was a perfect refresher to get back into painting figures
Welcome back
Really glad you found it useful 🙂
When I saw you put the cloak back on and you started painting black next to his weapon pointing out I started going NOOO stop what have you done! You were the chosen one. You were meant to defeat the full assembleds not join them. You were my brother Brushstroke.
Haha I’m sorry.
There is a good reason why I added the cape before painting the outside of it though and that’s because the join at the shoulder was a really bad fit and needed filling and sanding before it could be painted. So, it was far better to add it then and get a clean paint job on it 👍🏻
Truly an amazing video man, I just spent 10 hours following your guide and he came out looking amazing! Thank you so much!
That’s fantastic, so glad the guide was useful for you. Makes it all worth while 👍🏻
Really well made video, great model. You’re an amazing painter and it’s always nice to see people paint salamanders. You have earned yourself another subscriber. I know it probably doesn’t make much difference but at the very least I get notified when you upload more amazing videos like this.
Thank you, your sub and support is much appreciated.
Really glad you enjoyed the video
I agree, that was unbelievable. The final product was excellent.
Thank you 🙏🏻
This was a wonderful video, I will be receiving Adrax monday, so I will be giving him my best shot!
Thank you
Please let me know how you get on, I’d love to see pics of him when he’s done 👍🏻
Any questions, gimme a shout
@@BrushstrokePaintingGuides ive gotten the salamander £130 box, so ill actually be doing him last, just to make sure ive practiced as much as possible. But i will 100% ask if ive more questions thank you
As always an awesome video; been waiting for ages for the right time to watch this :) thanks bro - you're a star
Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it and hopefully found it useful. It was a fun mini to paint with all the different elements on it
I want to thank you, I used this video to paint a lot of part of my Vulkan mini, the result was fantastic
You are very welcome 🙂
I’m delighted to hear the guide helped and gave you a good result.
Thank you for taking the time to write this message, it means so much 👍🏻
I'm so pumped to paint mine after your video! Thank you so much!
Awesome! Please let me know how you get on. So, glad you found the video helpful 👍🏻
Looks great. Just getting back into warhammer after 15 years away, starting with some salamanders, this was great inspiration
Welcome back 🙂
Really glad to here this has got your fired up for your salamanders 🔥🦎
Truly inspiring work! Going to do my best to replicate it for my Adrax. I hope you do a video for lava bases in the future because the base you did for him looks like it could be the best one on UA-cam.
Thank you, really glad you enjoyed the video.
I’ll certainly try and sort a lava base video in soon 👍
Let me know how you get on painting your Agrax 🙂
@@BrushstrokePaintingGuides will do! Also, do you usually varnish your miniatures after you're done, and if so, which varnish or type do you use?
I enjoyed this so much, but was the auto-focus on? Felt like I was going cross-eyed at points.
Thank you. Sorry, yes I’m still struggling to perfect the art of painting on camera. The camera isn’t on auto focus, there were just sometimes when I wasn’t in the right place. So, I had to make the best of the footage I had. I’m trying my best to improve my setup though, so I hope to improve as I do more videos
Thank you for this amazing Video, it helps me a lot^^
You are very welcome
Thank you so much for watching
Awesome!
Thanks!
Great video! The break down of each tiny step is great, unlike some guides which make jumps that will confuse a beginner like me. Once I get confidence with a few normal minis (and buy more paints lol) I would like to try this level of detail out!
Thank you.
It’s really great to get feedback like this, as I want my videos to be helpful to all levels of painters. I’m really glad you found it easy to follow and it’s inspired you to give it a go.
Keep up the painting and have fun 👍🏻
Really well done. All the editing is top notch, the painting is great, and your instructions are easy to understand and follow. The only thing you are missing at this point is a nicer camera. Please keep bringing us more great content!
Thanks for checking out my channel. Really glad you enjoyed the video.
I'm pleased to say I have since gotten a nicer camera (still not as good as I'd like, but what I could afford) and I try and make each video I do that little bit better than the last.
Thanks for taking the time to post your feedback, it's REALLY appreciated
Great job! 👍🏻
Thanks for watching 👍🏻
Great video! Only thing I would say is I wish the video chapters were broken up by what parts of the model you're painting like cape, body armor, weapon, backpack etc. instead of the colors you used because it makes it hard to follow for someone who is trying to skip through and look through certain parts
Thanks for watching, glad you liked it.
In terms of the chapters, I understand what you mean, what I was trying to do was show the process and steps I go through to complete the whole model.
What I have just started on the channel though are shorter style recipe videos, which cover single colours or items. I’m hoping that will build into a library of recipes. So people can just watch the recipe for Salamanders armour or worn leather etc
Sounds good! Looking forward to seeing more content :)
@@BrushstrokePaintingGuides
I've started getting back into the hobby and my paint collection is sadly depleted- was wondering if you might do a vid suggesting essential paints for a hobbyist as looking through the GW website can be daunting as well as expensive! Loving the content
Welcome back to the hobby. I think my advice would be consider what army you would like to paint, as that would really be the main focus on what paints to buy first. For example, if you want to go for Ultra Marines you’re going to need some blues. Blood Angels reds etc. As an initial starter I would say you go with retributor gold, iron hands steel, mournfang brown, abaddon black, eshin grey, ushabti bone, Mephiston red, nuln oil and agrax earthshade. Then just add the army colour you like. That would give you a basic paint range to pretty much paint anything. For lighter tones mix in ushabti and darker tones mix in abaddon black :)
magistral
muchas gracias
You’re great. Keep it up. Subbed and belled.
Thank you
Really appreciate the support.
I still have a lot to learn about camera work and video making but I’ll keep trying to improve as I go 👍🏻
Keep painting bro! I love it
(meaby... Someday... Will you paint some dark angels?)
Thank you
I will be doing Dark Angels for sure
@@BrushstrokePaintingGuides :D
Great video! I really want to try this on a Tau battle suit. As an aside, can you drop a video on how to make that magma base?
Thank you.
In the case of this mini, it came with this moulded base, I didn’t make it.
I do have “making lava bases” on my list of videos to do though 👍🏻
Looks absolutely fantastic. Great video.
Did you layer the inside of the cloak after shading? It looks surprisingly bright.
Thank you, no I just used the thinned down nuln oil and made sure it wasnt applied too thickly so it gave a more subtle shading
If the shade does make it too dark for you, you can certainly apply a layer again to brighten it back up, it's entirely up to you
@@BrushstrokePaintingGuides Thanks for the quick reply ^^
I want to start collecting and painting minifigs and right at the moment i symphatise most with the salamanders or orks. How to get started, what is the most basic stuff i need as an example for salamanders to paint and so? pls help :D
Forgive my ignorance, but I'm curious as to how the model pieces are mounted on the "paint stands" before painting/assembling the final product. Are they temporarily glued to the wire mounts, or is there some type of clay/putty being used? Thanks in advance.
A very reasonable question.
Yes, they are temporarily glued to wires before final assembly
I have a chapter on how I do this called painting handles in this video
ua-cam.com/video/KxF8t6k39cE/v-deo.html
@@BrushstrokePaintingGuides , thank you. That video was most informative.
@@verenov77 no problem.
If you get a chance, please do check out the other videos in my Fundamentals playlist, as there are some really great tips and technique videos in there
Don't think I saw it mentioned but what did you prime the models with before you started the tutorial? Is it Grey seer? I own Mechanicus standard grey rattle cans, and was wondering if that was a fine alternative spray for the prime coat
I primed it with Vallejo surface primers through an airbrush.
Firstly with black and then a zenithal prime with grey
You could get a similar result by spraying black and then doing a zenithal with grey seer if you need to use rattle cans
@@BrushstrokePaintingGuides Hello. What if I don't have airbrush? I am new, so it's little intimidating for me (airbrush). Also do I have to do black first and zenithal next? Can't I just do Zentithal?
One last question - would you do same for every salamander model (I collect Salamander army)? Black and Zenithal primes?
Also, thanks for tutorial, I will try to use it to paint all my salamander units!
This was the first time I've seen Salamanders skin painted gray instead of black....Interesting.
Thought I’d go for a more ash looking. Mix things up a bit. I think it worked well
@@BrushstrokePaintingGuides The model looks amazing.
Thank you
1:01 does he have a primaries model, and where'd you get the lava base
What is it you use to pin your models to the cork? Cause I find regular paperclips to bend too easily :)
just standard paperclips and glued into corks, as simple as that mate
How to paint raven guard marines.
Raven Guards are the next chapter I’m doing 👍🏻
Sorry I am French but you start painting without talking about the first step. Which primer do you use for the basecoat? Chaos black bomb spray? Grey? I don't know.. Good video 👍😉
Thank you.
I made a video on how I prepare my minis because I do it the same every time.
I cover priming at 10:30 in

although the whole video is worth a watch ;)
Hope that helps
Is there any color that would work just as good as the Vallejo and scale 75. I’m new to painting and it’s much easier to walk into my local GW store and get all this.
Hi, completely appreciate it's not always easy to get hold of every range of paints. So, if you were going with GW for everything;
Eclipse Grey = Eshin Grey
Flat Black = Abaddon Black (although this won't be as matte)
Old Gold = Retributor Armour (this won't result in the same tone as mine, but it's the best gold GW do. Using this will give a warmer, more yellow gold but should still look good)
Hope that helps :)
Brushstroke Painting Guides yea definitely helps out. As a beginner I might have to get creative Bc I can’t imagine having that laundry list of paints lol I’m sure I can cut some corners and I’m not pro so I’m not too concerned 🤣
I got such a problem with warpstone glow. Especially on wet pallet it does not cover almost anything at all. How are you getting that smoothness with layer type paints? :o
I'm going to be doing a video on applying smooth coats and paint thinning soon.
Warpstone glow isnt easy to thin I agree, as it likes to split especially on a wet palette.
If you're struggling with it, my advice would be to thin it using medium rather than water. That way it should hold the pigment longer before splitting and then always make sure you remix it on your palette (swirl brush through it until mixed) every time before loading your brush. it's a pain, but it can often be the only way to make a paint behave.
The trick really is finding that point when thinning just before it splits. There's a bit of trial and error but after a while you sort of develop a knack of spotting how far you can take a paint
Hope that helps a bit
I'll try and get my video out ASAP
@@BrushstrokePaintingGuides Thank you for advice! I love your amazing style! I'm waiting for 40k Space Wolves (in more blueish color :D) and with some wolf pelts around it, sisters of battle and imperial fists
thank you, very kind
I did a couple of paint guides a few years back for Space Wolves and Imp Fists, but that was before I had my UA-cam, so they're picture based. You may still find them useful in the meantime (I will be doing videos for them eventually)

Dose anyone have a Amazon link to that "flat black" from scale 75? I can't seem to find it and I'm making a shopping list for some new paints.

@@BrushstrokePaintingGuides yes ty ^_^
That's hot.
(see what I did there? Okay okay, I'll go stand in the corner now)
Haha! No man, I love puns. 👍🏻
How long did this take you?
It’s from quite a while back, but from the length of the video I’d say the overall paint job was about 7-8hours to do.
I think edge highlighting on space marines is so over used, i now work my highlights in with the basecoat using wet blending and i feel it looks better than my airbrush. takes me about 4 hours to finish the Armour but worth it
Is Adrax a Capt. or something higher? Chapter Master maybe?
I believe he’s a named captain of the 3rd company
What's the music you use?
It’s just some royalty free music I downloaded. I liked the chilled / relaxed vibe
@@BrushstrokePaintingGuides do you have a link? Btw awesome job on the salamander, I always dread painting scales and fire lol
Thank you
I'll try and find the link again
i don't get what peoples fetish is with using black primer. It sucks, it takes forever to paint over it, and its difficult to make out details on the model. People who use black primer are sheep just like the people driving through a contraction site who all gather in one lane when the one beside it is wide open. It's always like that where i'll pass 50,60 , 70 cars and just merge in front of the entire line up. People for the most part are brain dead especially manual labour, factory workers and beer drinkers. The most thinking they do is stamping their stupid time card like a loser.
I think it comes from GW advising people to use black as a primer and so a lot of people just think that's how it should be done.
The main advantage it gives for a beginner is if they happen to miss a hard to reach area on the mini it's not so bad as it'll just look like a shadow.
I much prefer to go down the zenethial priming route now, as it helps my aging eyes see the tiny details on minis easier
@@BrushstrokePaintingGuides nice work btw. im gonna get one of these just cuz i like the green. i wanted to ask, instead of shading all over i prefer to black line/pin wash the miniature. for blood angels i use black contrast paint or flesh tears red, for ultramarines i use basilican grey, what should i use if I'm painting black space marines like the death company intercessors. also i don't game , i just like the models to paint but is it against the rules to paint the blood angels death company command intercessors in red instead of black? thank you for the reply
@@MF-kv8cn thank you
Pin washing / recess shading black is tricky and really depends more on the base colour youve used for your black armour. If you go for a totally black colour you’re not leaving yourself much room to go darker for your wash.
Personally, I’d say you should try a grey black mix, something like 50:50 Corvus black : Eshin grey and then pin wash with a black ink. Something like black Inktensity from scale75. That should give you enough difference in contrast to get a good result.
As for the rule question, I’m like you and just enjoy the painting side of things.
I’m a firm believer in “paint what you like”
They’re you minis at the end of the day, so the only person they need to please is you.
I say go for it! 👍🏻
@@BrushstrokePaintingGuides what if i used the scalee75 flat black like you and did the pi with black contrast, that would for sure show off because the black is so flat, anything with more flash will probably appear?
@@MF-kv8cn yes, black contrast against scale75 flat black would be different enough I would have thought.
Certainly worth a try. If you still need a darker black you can always try the ink as another option
