ive watched this specific episode from start to finish 6 times ( never painted a mini in my life )but this vid broke me i got 40 marines waiting to aspire and ascend to this beautiful red ( had a hard time getting all the color) i know this is not the esiest method used for painting them but i got a feeling even if i fall short they will be marvels and ty u should do more this is astonishing
Hey x31omega, i think that you can make a space marine just as interesting as you want. The standard Blood Angels color scheme is a bit mundane. But if you make it your own, and ad loads of detail it can look amazing. Check out this amazing Blood angels by Duncan Rhodes for instance! ua-cam.com/video/Pf7w5Y9Cf6c/v-deo.html
Man, there is something so satisfying about wathching you move around the brush. A point so sharp and precise, and your way of moving the paint around. I hope for that level of control one day. I still haven't painted a single space marine in my life, and I think it's time to change that. I need to try and get one, and paint it to a high standard.
@@LucNegri The shaky hands can be fixed with practice and a teensy bit of exercise, hydration, and bracing your hands together with elbows on a hard surface.
It blows me away how much depth you get with such a small number of paint choices. Really enjoy highlighting reds and blacks with flesh tones, can't wait to try it out myself.
Gotta say, I really loved this video. I'm not up to this standard of painting, but if you ever feel shitty about your painting and saying yourself "I'm not that good." Just add "yet" to the end of it. I was actually quite chuffed with myself with realising how many of these techniques I dont realised I've picked up myself.
The main thing I enjoy about your painting is its more realistic looking than GWs cartoony bright colors. Between you, Vince, Marco, Zack, Cult of Paint and a few others my skills have drastically improved over the last couple of years.
My lord!! Completely amazing in regards to the understanding of light reflection, highlighting, shading, color-placement, etc... overwhelming my friend. Thank you for sharing your work. Always remember to stay humble as you were given a great gift.
I was flamed in an online forum for having the highlight at the top of the four exhausts on the backpack. Feels vindicating to see you portray it this way too. Cheers!
The smoothness of the paint on the shoulders is just magic. If I use a white colour or bone on a marine's shoulders it just goes NOPE. Feels like I either use too much water and it washes everywhere, or not enough and it goes blotchy/streaked. Incredible work.
Here's a tip also, try an off white (celestra grey for a blue white, or wraithbone for well, bone) or even an ink (with matt medium). You could even mix it in with your lahmium medium, or a dedicated matt medium. Or give up on citadel colours entirely and use reaper/vallejo or P3 and such :P Hope that helps!
This is quite timely as Im working on a Necromunda Ambot using this color scheme. Was trying to figure out a few things and this video was the answer. Thank you again for the help!
I just finished painting that exact mini as a Blood Angel. I'll try to follow this guide for another mini, hopefully I get good enough once the troops are finished that the characters in Indomitus are done justice.
It's disgusting just how good you are. Especially when you're putting 3 highlights on an area I can't even be bothered painting once! Definitely trying the chainsword method
I really enjoyed this video. Red is always a tricky color to me. I have to keep red ink handy because I inevitably get to pink. Thank you for sharing it. Excellent work.
Very cool video! I don’t even care about space marines, but I still learned lots of tricks/techniques that I can apply to other models. Good length of video as well, I feel like 20-30 minutes is the sweet spot. Thanks!
Don't forget the 'Eavier than Metal series is more like a masterclass - definitely not a beginner tutorial. Doesn't mean you cant take away something from it even as a beginner, but you should not beat yourself up if your first blood angels do not look like this right of the bat. go easy on yourself!
@@trovarion OH no I know they'll likely be horrible ha but I love seeing the techniques and the way you break down why you're doing it. For a beginner with no artistic skill it gives an understanding that helps with improving. Thank you for the tutorials
This video made me come back to the hobby and start a space marine army. I already had a small force of blood angels in 1998 but never got to play them and sold them pretty soon after painting a few of them. It bugged me until now. I am going build a modern version of my 90s force. I am not sure if take this approach or the one from your grim dark video. I‘ll try both and see which process is more enjoyable. Thank you so much for all the free content. I‘ll look into you patreon stuff pretty soon.
I have a blood angels chapter and I’m currently getting through it. This guy is so satisfying to watch my blood angels are no way near this level I just hope to get as half as good. This video just makes me wanna go back and repaint all my blood angels 🩸🩸
It sucks that you have to make so many sacrifices "because that's how UA-cam works". Thank you so much for the extra work that goes into the longer videos!
Bloody hell, I’m just getting back into the hobby and I’m wanting to go with a a Blood Ravens chapter and this is almost exactly how I wanted to paint them. Even down to the hazard stripes on the chainsword. This is such a beautiful paint job. Only difference being I also want to implement bronze trimming for squad captains and gold for the elites and commanders. Damn, I’ve got a lot to learn.
Love your videos (and the awesome shirt). Completely underrated especially with how incredibly talented you are. I definitely prefer a black chest eagle and black trim. I think that was the old school theme for them from (I forget the earlier editions) so you do have some justification for those choices.
Thank you for the inspiration! I have a mini on my painting table which is mephiston red, and black but I felt overwhelmed on how to paint it. You gave me a ton of inspiration, and some confidence to finish the model!
Insane paint-job! The flesh-tone + yellow highlight is really nice and looks a good deal better than the usual orange I would highlight with - I'm looking forward to trying it out on my next Blood Angel!
Amazing video mate, This is exactly the result I've envisioned and tried to describe on our feedback session, not going full metallic red but trying to incorporate some of the elements and the "pop" on a more of a manageable task for an army! Personal note aside, really loving the approach you took in the video, great upload
To make my plinths I use wooden blocks, like the ones made for children to play with. Look very similar to your solution. Might need to sand them though.
So I had a go at this for no reason in particular, I also felt it was beyond my skills. I have to say my results really impressed me, stuff I could do better if I did it again, and I didn't have any transfers and I really wish I did. Great guide, great video, I learnt a tone. Gimmi dat patrion
Just getting into this now, I love how you make something look absolutely amazing and then mention that it should be enough for a tabletop 😐 But I'm sure I'll get there 😂
This looks like a $1000 paint job on a single miniature. If I had to appraise this paint job as a commission, that is. And this is why he is probably the best in the world at this.

My advice be patient, he makes it look easier than it is but persistence is rewarded
Was never interested in the blood angels paint scheme but you just turned a boring 1 color scheme into a wonderful piece of eye candy.
Have you seen what they looked like in the 1st edition rulebook?!

I agree with Jacktor...the rich n deep hues of that color spectrum deserve more attention (and this is the man to pull it off)
i love the shirt bro. rip reckful.
I'd love to see you go over painting a dark purple. Everyone I've seen paints the same bright purple that's a little too pinky for me
This is one of the best NMM and highlight tutorials I have seen on 40K models. Great job!
My lord!! Completely amazing in regards to the understanding of light reflection, highlighting, shading, color-placement, etc... overwhelming my friend. Thank you for sharing your work. Always remember to stay humble as you were given a great gift.
best shirt EVER!!!!!!!!!!

same lol

Best Blood Angel miniature I could find on UA-cam so far.
This is probably my favourite tutorial for blood angels so far, definitely gonna take notes for when i attempt the hobby!
Holy Shit. This is the best painted marine I have ever seen. I dare you to change my mind.
absolutely amazing and an excellent atmosphere to the mini! I love how the red came out, and the eyes look brilliant.
This is quite timely as Im working on a Necromunda Ambot using this color scheme. Was trying to figure out a few things and this video was the answer. Thank you again for the help!
*laughs* I love that the Blood Ravens "accidentally" stole the show :P Very much in keeping with them :D
i know, right? :D
@@trovarion btw do you ever take commission work ? Or do you have any vids on the recent sisters of battle?
@@SeithonJetter i don't do comissions, no time for that, sadly. I have some sisters of battle videos on my patreon.

Thanks!
Best BR-marine I've seen. Well done, good color-scheme
That distressed leather is incredible.
Great tutorial. I am out of 40k and 28mm Minis for 7 years now, but I will definitly try this!
I've watched this over and over again maybe 8 times as I prepare to paint my first blood angels and it's almost more impressive every time

It sucks that you have to make so many sacrifices "because that's how UA-cam works". Thank you so much for the extra work that goes into the longer videos!
Nice video. New studio lights are awesome!
Great video! I really love your newer Videos. They cover up so many areas of painting and are relatively easy to follow! Vielen Dank!
nice, thank you!
The man. The myth. The legend!
Another awesome video. This is why you win Golden Demons.
WOW ! You blend colours together with a brush well! And I really enjoy the leather technique, I just tried it. Subscribed!
This one is by far my most liked grim dark mini painted by u.
So rich! Deep, and ultimately glorious.
Came from mid winter minis saw the shirt and knew I was going to like it here.
Beautiful. You're a very skilled painter!
Let's face it. That is the best paintjob ever made.
This man inspires me to push my limits in painting
Nice painting hopefully I can try and paint red power armor like that
This was one of the the most informative videos I have seen for painting blood angles. I hate painting red but it looks so good.

Amazing, Great tutorial! I've been painting for 10 years and still picked up some great tips. Love the end result as well.
I find your work to be incredibly pleasing.
Thanks!
Love the layering and customizing of the transfers.
This might be the most detailed piece i have ever seen... 👍😄
Such a beautiful mini.... Blood Angels rock!
Absolute goldmine of knowledge. Thanks!
Love your videos (and the awesome shirt). Completely underrated especially with how incredibly talented you are. I definitely prefer a black chest eagle and black trim. I think that was the old school theme for them from (I forget the earlier editions) so you do have some justification for those choices.
thanks a lot, mate!
Amazing work, just the part for the shoulderpad is worth the detour! Thank again Trov!
Thank you for the inspiration! I have a mini on my painting table which is mephiston red, and black but I felt overwhelmed on how to paint it. You gave me a ton of inspiration, and some confidence to finish the model!
I am definitely trying this technique
Amazing. I couldn't do that in a million years.
Blood Angels were my first army in 1996. Looking forward to try this out on a squad!
Fantastic video, the weathering on the sword looks amazing
Insane paint-job! The flesh-tone + yellow highlight is really nice and looks a good deal better than the usual orange I would highlight with - I'm looking forward to trying it out on my next Blood Angel!
Thats a sick looking marine mate. Awesome and thanks for the video
That chainsword.... amazing.
Outstanding. Thanks for the superb tutorial 👍👍👍
That looks so good.
I love the tone, true Grimdark, I love it.
Thanks!
Looks awesome! Inspiring me to up my game with my Blood Angels

How have I only just discovered your channel! Fantastic video
I blame UA-cam ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
This is simplicity pushed to perfection and it's so fucking good
Hoping to combine this with the grim dark blood angels video to paint my friend's blood ravens army. Great video.
To make my plinths I use wooden blocks, like the ones made for children to play with. Look very similar to your solution. Might need to sand them though.
Me: I love this, I want to use this for my miniatures.
Also me: I aint spending 3 hours per model. I will go crazy.
Great video!
This final effect is absolutely amazing, some great techniques here, thanks so much for the video! ✌️

Definitely im doing it thanks pal
Love the grime and weathering on the miniature. What a great job! Pretty inspired to try this on my own miniatures!
Love the look of this model. Amazing work!
This'll help me with my Red Talons. Thanks!
Love your videos, keep em coming!
Got me interested in decals now...
If only GW sold them separately, I lost all mine!
Just getting into this now, I love how you make something look absolutely amazing and then mention that it should be enough for a tabletop 😐 But I'm sure I'll get there 😂
