I have to say, I’m following this tutorial for my Lumineth army and it has been so helpful. They look far better than stuff I have painted previously. It has certainly challenged me and although mine look a bit messy still and not even half as good as yours, I am happy with them and I couldn’t have done it without this video. So thank you.
Thank you for taking the time to comment - and I really appreciate you saying that my video has helped - it makes it all worth it! I'd love to see the finished results!
I'm halfway through my first unit of wardens (also my first miniatures ever). I fully assembled the leader, then cut off the backpack and primed the spare from the sprue, as I really didn't see how I would make a good job of it with it already attached! Thanks for the great video
Very cool! Was amazed how fast the box set got to us. I'll be painting mine in Zaitrec paint scheme, as I'm terrible at white colours, plus their lore is class.
The Painting Coach More than helpful, you explain every step & at a steady pace, which I appreciate. Using your exact paint scheme for my bright Elves.
I just finished the Realm Lord last night Coach, between the simple guide in the manual and your video guide i am absolutely over the moon with the result. Many thanks Coach for your channel. Im now moving onto the Wardens with the same format. Keep up the great work.
I think that if you add some null oil on the scale armor it would look more detailed and it's a quick thing to do and then you repaint most of the scale silver. I know you put some oil but I think that the null oil directly after the base colour and then you add silver back and then Drakenhof oil and then you do your last couple of silver layer
Hi Dominic - normally I would - i thought I'd try something different that would be quick and effective! I think this is the first video I've ever done that doesn’t use nuln oil!
I’m thinking of painting mine in the Thousand Sons’ colors, their lighter blue for the main color and their gold for trim (plus maybe white and a deeper blue for the tunic).
The Painting Coach well I’ve used the Citadel paint app to find how to get their colors (battle ready or “parade ready”), plus the official Warhammer UA-cam channel has a tutorial on how to paint their rubric marines.
Simply breathtaking work as always! Combine that with excellent instruction and you’ve got something that most painters can replicate :). Thank you for sharing your gifts with the community!
I had to get these, they are so beautiful and I will be using your tutorial to help me paint them. Will you be doing a tutorial for the Dawn riders as well? I've never painted horses before, though the SBS in the battletome will come in handy.
Thanks for the comment Phil! They are stunning - i'll definitely do an Eltharion model- I may do the Dawn Riders if I have enough time in the schedule!
Hi, Firstly I just want to say thank you for the guide! As somebody completely new to the hobby, I was drawn to the Lumineth army however I was initially overwhelmed by how complex the models looked to paint. This step-by-step guide has completely eased my concerns and I am now confident enough to take the plunge! I do have a couple of questions if you would be kind enough to clarify for a poor nooby! Firstly, you state that you primed the models with Wraithbone. Was this done with the spray can? Did you prime them Corax white first before applying the Wraithbone or was it straight to the wraithbone spray? My other question was regarding the sub assembly. Did you drill a small hole into the head in order to do this? And as for the regular troops with the shields at the front, would you also recommend painting those separately as well as the heads? Any help would be massively appreciated. Thank you again for the guide and I will be sure to subscribe and keep up to date with your videos. Craig.
Hi Craig - thanks for the positive feedback - I really appreciate it! Yes I primed with wraithbone spray straight on the plastic- it's a primer so no issue doing this. I can't remember off the top of my head but I think I drilled the head and used a pin and cork - you could just pop it on some sprue And yes leave the shields separate - much easier to paint everything Hope that helps!
I was in awe of this, and I'm going to kickstart painting my set following this guide (I was pretty intimidated by all that white). Any chance for a video on the Light of Eltharion?
Thanks for the feedback! Hopefully it's broken down into simple enough steps! Feel free to ask any questions you have! I'm about to move house, however once I'm sorted, there will indeed be a light of Eltharion tutorial!
@@ThePaintingCoach if u look at the model I believed there was a birch wood look, if u look at the the legs carefully it's almost like a wooden and almost a little bit worn out sort of style assuming you are looking at the picture from GW themselves
Do you mean the fleshy areas? To me that looks like a mix - best approximation might be rakarth flesh, a thinned wash of reikland fleah shade and then a thin highlight of pallid wych flesh You could also start with gorthor brown as the base and mix some karak stone in - I'd try experimenting on some spare parts if you have them
so good dude any chance you could do a how to paint eternal guards at all really like you guides and what els is good is no bloody air brushing lol 👍👍👍👍
@@ThePaintingCoach cool man yeah I dont have one I'm following your ultramarines guide atm got a lot of reavers to paint but I'm practicing on just normal marines atm
Thanks for the comment - you can try it - I don't think it will be a world of difference - you could test it on some spare parts first to check you like it!
Hi Lewis - thanks for the comment- on this one I used the same colours as the leather- I'd also advise not gluing the shields on until they are painted
I will do the Light of Eltharion tomorrow, and then wait until more are released, like Teclis. All the techniques in this video can be used to paint the other models 👍🏻
Thanks for the comment Adam! If you want to go white you've got two ways: Pallid wych flesh and white scar highlight gives a warm white Ulthuan Grey and a White Scar highlight will giveb a cold white - this will also need to be shaded with a colder colour like very thinned drakenhoff nightshade
No problem - i generally use them from the pot, and put them on a palette first before the model - this saves having too much on the brush and makes them easier to control
Thanks for the comment! Sure - the tone will be a little different and you won't quite get the same faux blending effect the contrast paint gives you - try adding a little lahmian medium if you have some!
I'll put one together soon - this one was really easy: Paint the rock karak stone, wash with space wolves grey contrast then drybrush with grey seer then white The rubble is astrogranite, washed with athonion camoshade the dry brushed karak stone
Currently getting ready to paint mine got my colour scheme and everything sort, would just like to know how you would go about painting the dawnriders iv built the horses but not the riders yet
Thanks for your comment! I'm not 100% sure - I may follow the guide in the instruction manual- although I'd go kislev flesh, some very thin guukliman flesh in the recesses and then highlight with some flayed one flesh 🤔
The Painting Coach Thanks! Did you find it worked well with the non-contrast paints needed on these models? I have my own set of the lumineth and I’m just nervous to start! Lol when I saw it was contrast and heard the community say not to use it for non-contrast paint I got worried but couldn’t find any other version of the spray!
It works fine - if you are worried you could put down a thin layer of lahmian medium all over the model after you prime and before you start painting - i have only ever had small issues with some contrast paint rubbing off if i handled it too much

Thanks a lot for this! Just finished my first Warden and very happy with the result
Awesome :)
Dude. That looks freaking amazing. One of your finest, in my opinion.
Thanks Neil - I appreciate it!

Awesome! Thanks Martin! I am moving house tomorrow so haven't opened the lore yet - but I'm pretty excited to get involved!
Thank you excellent tutorial, will be using for my Lumineth. Very clear & easy to follow, with lots of helpful hints & tips.
Glad it was helpful! I really appreciate the feedback!!

That's awesome - thanks for letting me know - I'm glad you had a great result!!!
I just got mine in and was hoping for this content. Thank you, very helpful!
Happy to help! I hope the video is useful!!
Congrats ! It looks awesome, I’ll try to improve my painting skills with your videos. Thank you, you’re great !
Thank you very much!
Great tutorial! was not planning on going the blue route, but just might cause this looks stunning :)
Thanks Alexis - I appreciate the comment and the feedback!
Great tutorial! Cannot wait to get my hands on these.
Thanks! I'm glad you like the tutorial - they are awesome models!
Would love to see them in the colours of old Yvresse to match Eltharion.
Is that the light blue? I'll see what I can do - decided to do an army of these for myselr so may just follow the box art - see how I feel on the day!
I think that if you add some null oil on the scale armor it would look more detailed and it's a quick thing to do and then you repaint most of the scale silver.

Thanks Stephan - glad you liked it!
Another great tutorial again,can’t wait for the big guy next week,any chance of some Necromunda tutorials please
Thanks Gary - appreciate it! I've done Palanite Enforcers - I haven't got any other Necromunda models at the mo unfortunately!
Now to figure out what these colors would be in other paint range. Awesome model! I'm going with a darker blue scheme
Thank you Daniel! I put a link to a conversion chart in the description - let me know if you use it and if it's any good!
@@ThePaintingCoach I don't know how I overlooked that. Now i feel like a jerk with my comment.
Haha it's all good! It might be useless as it's an older one - so I'd appreciate any feedback from you!
@@ThePaintingCoach Will do my best. Getting some Scale75 paints in tomorrow.
I’m thinking of painting mine in the Thousand Sons’ colors, their lighter blue for the main color and their gold for trim (plus maybe white and a deeper blue for the tunic).
That could work - I haven't got it to hand but I think there mighy he something similar in their book?
The Painting Coach well I’ve used the Citadel paint app to find how to get their colors (battle ready or “parade ready”), plus the official Warhammer UA-cam channel has a tutorial on how to paint their rubric marines.
Looking forward to seeing how they turn out

Hi Cory that's an amazing comment thank you so much! That means so much and makes it all worth it!
Already got yours?! Mine should be here in a few days! 😁
It was touch and go for a while with Saturday post ;)
@Bob McGregson I live in the states so I'm thinking it will be later in the week
Same, I'm waiting so impatiently

Hey dude loved the vid could u tell me how to do the wooden sort of look on the alarith sprit of the mountain
Thanks for the comment - which wooden look do you mean?

No worries - glad you like them!
your'e not helping me to resist buying the box!!
Hahahahahahaha do it - paint them elves!!!!! To he fair, I have always wanted a high elves army - now I hahe these!
so good dude any chance you could do a how to paint eternal guards at all really like you guides and what els is good is no bloody air brushing lol 👍👍👍👍
Thanks Aaron - I appreciate it! Yeah I try not to use airbrushes in my videos as not everyone has them!
Which models are the eternal guard?
@@ThePaintingCoach wood elves/wanderers spears in Cities of Sigmar
Ah ok - I don't have those models - if I get some in the future I'll definitely do a tutorial!
@@ThePaintingCoach cool man yeah I dont have one I'm following your ultramarines guide atm got a lot of reavers to paint but I'm practicing on just normal marines atm
Great tutorial, but the colour temperature of your light is too warm, but wanna think of using something in the daylight range
Thanks for the tip - yes I paint with a daylight bulb - but the main room light is not - i have just moved studio so hopefully that will help!
Actual saint
Haha thanks!
Does anyone know if the places with pallid wich flesh in this video could be replaced with corax white and still have it look the same?
Thanks for the comment - you can try it - I don't think it will be a world of difference - you could test it on some spare parts first to check you like it!
thanks coach
What colour did you do the inside of the shield?
Hi Lewis - thanks for the comment- on this one I used the same colours as the leather- I'd also advise not gluing the shields on until they are painted
Will you make another two videos about how to paint other lumineth minions?
I will do the Light of Eltharion tomorrow, and then wait until more are released, like Teclis. All the techniques in this video can be used to paint the other models 👍🏻
Any reccomendations for paints if i want to follow your basic tutorial but want the skirt to be even closer to white?
Thanks for the comment Adam! If you want to go white you've got two ways:
Pallid wych flesh and white scar highlight gives a warm white
Ulthuan Grey and a White Scar highlight will giveb a cold white - this will also need to be shaded with a colder colour like very thinned drakenhoff nightshade
Would you be able to make a tutorial for the Dawnriders??
Thanks for the comment - I probably won't get chance for Dawnriders - I'd paint them in the identical way as these guys though!
The Painting Coach Thanks for the reply! Another quick Q. Do you thin down your contrast paints in this vid? Or straight from the pot?
No problem - i generally use them from the pot, and put them on a palette first before the model - this saves having too much on the brush and makes them easier to control
would it be ok if i used seraphim sepia insteaad of skeleton horde?
Thanks for the comment! Sure - the tone will be a little different and you won't quite get the same faux blending effect the contrast paint gives you - try adding a little lahmian medium if you have some!
Can you show us how you do bases
I'll put one together soon - this one was really easy:
Paint the rock karak stone, wash with space wolves grey contrast then drybrush with grey seer then white
The rubble is astrogranite, washed with athonion camoshade the dry brushed karak stone
Currently getting ready to paint mine got my colour scheme and everything sort, would just like to know how you would go about painting the dawnriders iv built the horses but not the riders yet
Thanks for your comment! I'm not 100% sure - I may follow the guide in the instruction manual- although I'd go kislev flesh, some very thin guukliman flesh in the recesses and then highlight with some flayed one flesh 🤔
When you used the spray wraithbone was it contrast primer? That’s the only one I seem to be able to find.
Hi Kodi - thanks for the comment! Yes the wraithbone is part of the contrast paints range, so it could be listed as contrast primer
The Painting Coach Thanks! Did you find it worked well with the non-contrast paints needed on these models? I have my own set of the lumineth and I’m just nervous to start! Lol when I saw it was contrast and heard the community say not to use it for non-contrast paint I got worried but couldn’t find any other version of the spray!
It works fine - if you are worried you could put down a thin layer of lahmian medium all over the model after you prime and before you start painting - i have only ever had small issues with some contrast paint rubbing off if i handled it too much
did you put pallid wych flesh on the shield white?
Hi Lewis - yes I did!
