Welcome to the hobby! I hope you enjoy your first steps into painting. Please let me know how you get on!

@DrunkOnTeaUK I will, finished assembling them last night and hopefully I'll have some time to paint them soon

Thank you!

Thank you! I wish I had more free time... I'm sure there are a lot more details I would paint!

Nerds are the best. We also all love the things from our childhood and want to find the modern equivalent. (even if a lot of the nostalgia is just looking back with rose coloured glasses)

I think once the paints went through the name change to the current names the paints did change. The coverage became a lot better, needing fewer layers to achieve solid colour. The current GW line is really good. I mostly just use GW paints for my minis, they are easy to find, consistent across batches and work really well with my painting style.

@@DrunkOnTeaUK I'm still mostly using GWs paints, but I have started experimenting with other paints, mostly because my town doesn't have a proper hobby shop and I didn't want to go all the way to a different city. the one colour I really miss is Teracotta, I don't think GWs XV-88 fits well and there are remarkably few equivalent paints I'm aware of, none of which sold at FLGS near me.

There doesn't seem to be a lot out there that works as a replacement for terracotta. XV88 is a nice brown, but it's lacking the red tone. Have you tried Tau Light Ochre and mixing a bit of that in, it's not great but it does make it a bit closer.

@@DrunkOnTeaUK I haven't, but I might thanks to your suggestion!

Thank you, I tried to be as honest as possible with my opinions on all the paints. Each one has it's pros and cons when using them.

I have been doing testing to see what paints are the closest to these classic ones, it should be up next week, then you can also have the bright and vibrant paint schemes on your minis!

If I can find one somewhere, I'd love to paint one up and have the whole set!

Thank you!

I wish it had been an update of Epic 40,000. Tiny Tyranids and Orks were so much more fun than just Space Marines.

Thank you!

I'm glad you found it useful! Hopefully, that nudge will open up a whole new passion for you!

Thank you! I hope you enjoy painting up yours, welcome to the hobby!

I have some more Nurgle videos to make, I'll remember to add some Gutalax to the next one.... or maybe a Gutalax inspired Plaguebearer..... try and emulate the look and the sound of the band in one model.

There will be much more retro painting to come, especially now I have the paints!

@@DrunkOnTeaUK cannot wait my friend!

I may have already picked up a set to do just this

I don't think they are available on Amazon. You have to go direct to Rosemary & Co or via an independent stockist/ art store.

I'm hoping that GW will do another run of them, it would be such a shame if they were and one and done thing!

Thank you! I've been thinking about going through the chapters and painting them with a full rage of paints. For white scars, I would prime with white, base coat with corax white, pin shade with either thinned down celesta grey or maybe even apothecary white contrast. Then, edge highlight with White Scar, that should give a good crisp white look.

I find about 7 or 8 paints to be a good number. Nuln oil always makes life easier than thinning down black for a shade. I also find it useful to have a highlight colour for power armour, that way every model across the army will have the same colours, unlike the variation you get when mixing paints.

The clippers do come in the introductory starter set, and these Marines don't need glue as they are push fit. You can use a base paint as a "primer" as long as you cover the entire model it will give the other paints something to stick to. A specific primer is better, but for a beginner or single model, using paint will work, you just need to ensure you get full coverage or it will flake off.

I'm so glad I could help! I hope you've enjoyed painting your first models! If ever you are thinking of expanding your collection and getting some other models you want some ideas for how to paint, let me know!

I bought a Leviathan box yesterday. Maybe a few different colour combo's of termagaunt would be nice. But other than that, I'm just enjoying your spacemarine videos and learning to paint (with my starter kit).

And thank you, for being so helpful.

@@no-one3181 Thank you for watching and enjoying the videos! It's always nice to hear how they have helped people

Haha, challenge accepted. It may take me a while to get the model and paint it up, but I'll give it a go!

Thank you!

Thank you. I can do a more traditional painting guide for the Szarekhan paint scheme. I just need to pick up another box of Necrons!

I have painted a Dark Angle using just 5 paints ruclips.net/video/uad0El7ptX8/видео.html If you would like to see one done with a full set of paints and advanced techniques, I can do that.

@@DrunkOnTeaUK just after I posted that comment it occurred to me, being new to your channel, to search, and I found where you have done dark angels. But I would love to see one done up with a lot of colors. The dark angels are my first passion after discovering Warhammer just a couple of months ago

I'm sure I can a full Dark Angels made up soon.

@@DrunkOnTeaUK that would be fantastic! Thank you. I’ve gotten not a little obsessed with Warhammer and in particular dark angels.

HeroQuest and Space Crusade were such good games! Those old HeroQuest models still look really good, even today. My friend still has his copy of Space Crusade, and we played a few games a couple of weeks ago. The game still plays really well, some of the rules seem a bit old fashioned, but it's still fun, all these years later.

@@DrunkOnTeaUK I got Battlemasters and Advanced HeroQuest years later. AHQ ruleset just didn't have the charm of classic HQ. The hero miniatures were really nice but there was very little variety for the rest of the contents in the box. There's a fan made ruleset for AHQ (just an expansion of the classic rules, using the standard skull/shield dice) that makes the 2nd game more enjoyable.

Thank you! Welcome to the hobby! Hopefully, you enjoy painting painting your first minis! There are quite a lot of videos out there that use a lot of advanced techniques and equipment ( the number of videos that will tell you that you "need" an airbrush or wet pallette is crazy), but its possible to achieve good results with just practice, a few paints and basic equipment. Please let me know how you get on with painting your first models!

Thank you! It's funny you mention Custodes, keep an eye out for next weeks video 😜

A lot of the push fit models don't go together amazingly well. Sometimes the pegs are a bit to long, and clipping a small amount from the end will give a better fit. But also there are some parts like the arm that will just always be a pain. It is a useful skill to learn how to mix paints to create your own highlight colours, but if you are going to buy some extra paints, Calgar blue is what I normally use for highlighting Ultramarines, it will save you a lot of time mixing, and ensure that every model is highlighted with the same colour. Welcome back to the hobby!

GW paints are expensive, they are good though. 5 paints is a pretty good amount for starting, over time you will no doubt grow your collection of paints, and eventually end up with loads of them!

@@DrunkOnTeaUK yh agree there good paints need to buy more of the technical paints for base.

Those are good ideas! The Tau as Clone Troopers could be really fun! Thank you!

Thank you. I love Rhinox Hide. That and Korne Red are probably my favourite GW paints.

It was my own take more on the "style" of Alien. All the green lighting in the movie, the green grow from computer screens, the green in films title and poster, etc. A Hive tyrant as the Queen would be pretty cool, maybe I'll paint it in a more "true" scheme.

I've been thinking about doing Chaos Space Marines for a while now, so hopefully, I'll get one painted soon. Any particular legion of CSM you are interested in?

@@DrunkOnTeaUK Perhaps night lords or black legion.

More will be coming! I love the MESBG models. If I ever try my hand at battle reports they will probably be Middle Earth, as it is the best game GW make.

Thank you! With a little practice and some patience, you should be able to paint models you are happy with pretty quickly. The only thing I would say to get is a cheap pack of brushes from amazon or your local hobby store. It's good to have a few different sizes around, but with cheap ones, when they get ruined or too hooked, you can just throw them away and get some new ones. Welcome to the hobby, and have fun painting the Underworlds models, they are some really nice looking minis.

You would think so, but no. I guess army gamer was already taken. Plus those bits are for adding to other models, so maybe they are a gain....

@@DrunkOnTeaUK ok thanks bud.

The assassin as spawn is an interesting idea, I'll have to keep that in mind. I've been thinking about trying some cell shaded paint schemes, it will probably take a while to work on and get the look correct, but it's been in my "to do" list for a little while, so keep an eye out!
