Bold Titanium white is easily one of the best white acrylics I've used. Love this tutorial and definitely going to have to get Soulblight Grey for my arsenal. 👍
@@ThePaintingCoach make sure to get the one from their third generation paint line. I can't vouch for their other whites. That line is great in general though. I switched over to monument and AK for all my paints.
Painting in white just makes you stronger. I choose the chogorian way and play the white scars. It’s tough but when I get a chaplain or librarian and can use other colors. The skill comes out because it’s so much easier
I think an airbrush is probably your best bet for painting white or other light colors. I feel ur pain, i play emperors spears, light blue armor with white helmets and aquilas. I basically have to keep the helmets seperate on every model
Never Clicked so fast to see another quick painting lesson from the Coach :) TYVM! Looking forward to see more lessons with the new contrast colors ^_^
Going to give this a go. I REALLY want to paint my new sisters of battle in white armor but I’ve tried white before and it went poorly. This looks like you made the perfect video for me. Emperor bless you
This is perfect! I've been struggling to know how to go about painting my custom white Tau sept and have used both White Scar and Corax White sprays but never known how to get a crisp white armour whilst still being able to highlight and that soulblight grey is exactly the thing I need!
This is very validating as I'm planning on doing this method for my solar watch Custodes. Another thing to try is mortarion grime for a super grungy white
this will make painting my custom eldar super easy. Since I already have apothecary white I'm going to see how it would look with that instead of the soulblight shade
Great video! Also I used Ulthuan Grey to cover up mistakes. It’s less chalky than GW whites and it matches well with the white primer + soulblight grey
Fun fact, as my chapter is not white at all I though this video would not be that usefull, but thanks to you I discovered the Black Templar contrast and I can stop wasting my time trying to highlight my Abannon Black bolter edges with grey xD
Gonna do a 5 man space marine squad where everyone is from a different chapter and this is a really nice white armor! Might do something like that, minus the contrast step since contrast paint is pretty expensive, especially for a paint I won use too much. Tough I do get Black Templar contrast paint, really like the black with green/blue tones, feels more real than both Black Legion and Army Painter’s speedpaint black.
@@theorganicshadow same to you, friend! I have already spent way too long looking at various obscure chapters from way too many founding to find 5 cool unique and slightly different ones. And since they're my 40K toys one of them will be a loyalist World Eater awoken from stasis :) Having one or two 5 man squads like that gives much more flavor to it all and it's way more fun to paint I find :)
Fantastic video! Thanks so much. This is great for my Sacred Rose nuns with guns. Only thing I’d do differently is put an initial black coat on the areas Leadbelcher will be applied to; just personal preference.
Looks amazing by the way, but would i need to use White Scar out of the pot over the flat Panels because of using the Soulblight Grey all of the model to bring back the white ?
Fairly new to painting models, But how many primer coats would you recommend doing? I'm painting my Tau white and can't quite get the white primer to look halfway decent. 🙃
Thank you very much for this tutorial! I'm now going to use this for my first ever Space marine Army. Question. What did you use for the red dust effect on the legs!? I'd like to do the same thing.
Hello; am I understanding this right, that you just put the grey wash straight over the white primer, then highlighted? No base coat or layer coat for the armor?
Hey, i see many people asked about the base and legs. Is it Dark Red powder or just red? And do you just dip your drybrush in and use it? You mention blending, what do you mean by blending?
It's a red oxide weathering powder - just dip a dry brush in and put the pigments towards the bottom of the mini - by blending I mean use a dry brush to spread it out, keeping it close to where it would naturally collect - try it on some spare parts first to practice 👍🏻
Why Bold Titanium White out of interest, and not any of the others like Vallejo cold white? Is the Pro Acryl one a heavy body acrylic? Not familiar with the brand
It's airbrush ready but has amazing coverage - it's not heavy body but is very pigment dense. The pro acryl range is great across the board - some amazing colours. You can of course use your most preferred white!
Another priming tip... it has been very hot out. The can recommends a max 77 degrees fahrenheit. Heed that warning. I used it the other day and the paint dried before it hit the mini leaving a grainy texture across my model.
@@alexandersassaman1822 my way to work around it is to use Vallejo's surface primer. it definately takes more coats than i'd like in order to get an even coat with a brush but its better than nothing!
@@ThePaintingCoach sorry, I thought you mean you rebased the model with a different white. Also, my first question was more so is contrast better in your opinion for white minis? Thanks for the response btw
Really depends on the effect you want - I would say learn to paint with nornmal layer paints - one of my latest videos on black armour - check that out
Thanks for the video! Will definitely use this method. I wanted to ask what you used for the basing? Specifically, what paint did you use to get that dust effect on the marine's legs? Thanks in advance for any reply.
Glad it helped! The base is some martian texture - vallejo I think. The dust on the legs is a small amount of red oxide colour wearhering powder blended with a dry brush
It's better to put a thin layer of primer down first, let it dry for a few mins and then a second coat - if you try and do it all at once you'll obscure detail and the surface may crack
Can I substitute Bold Titanium white with White Scar itself when it comes to edge highlighting? Does Soulblight Grey darken it enought for White Scar to make that edges pop?
@@ThePaintingCoach Thanks for quick response. I also want you to know that i really appriciate this video. You gave me such condifence boost that I feel ready to paint my White Scars at long last. I've heard tons of comments that white is extremely hard to get right but you showed me that's not necessarily true. I really like the final look and it's easy enough for me to replicate. I'm happy to subscribe to your channel. Thanks again.
@@ThePaintingCoach matches the color of the base really well. Any tipps which product would match Aggaros Dunes from GW? Really liked your quick tipp for the White Scars squad markings...connecting the dots. So simple but great result.
I added some to the base as well - no idea really on what would match aggaros dunes - you are probably looking for a sandy type weathering powder - ochre might be too yellow
One of the martian base paints (can't remember which one) and then some red oxide weathering powder on the base and the legs - think this was from Greenstuff World
It is very bright! Maybe too bright on its own - try it on a spare part or piece of sprue first. You could mix it with some wraithbone as a first highlight and then go pure for the final stage
Hey mate, I'm having trouble with the pigments. I have got the same pigments you have and when I patter them on with my brush, they don't stay on very well. I started using pigment fixer but then it looks a little glossy and looks nothing like your dry version... did you use fixer?
@ThePaintingCoach okay thanks. So did you paint the base before applying the ironeath? And did you drybrush it at all or simply put ironearth and then some pigments?
How do you get it this pristine white from primer? I always seem to have to use several coats with a paintbrush to avoid seeing plastic through the white.
I use the spray too, but it never seems as white as what you start with in your video. I find I add multiple additional coats of white scar by hand to get true white.
Not sure where you are but I got mine from Element Games in the UK (link in description) If not I think you can order direct from Monument Hobbies - you get 10 in a pack
A nice bright base to contrast the.. white? Go dark base but besides that love it bro. Nice little squad markings ya make it so easy looking but gonna try that connect the dots goodness
Would you say this new shade is a more effective way of painting white vs the apothecary white contrast paint? They seem quite similar in method and finish?
I would probably spray the vehicle grey, then carefully add white from above so I had a nice transition (you can do this with spray cans if you don't have an airbrush). I'd then line in the recesses with an oil paint wash to make it easy - covering the whole vehicle with soulblight grey won't work unfortunately
Bah, you had me until the edge highlighting , I hate edge highlighting ! I'll try dry brushing the titanium white on before all the other details and just bee ultra careful afterwards 😂

Agree it's great
Try AK Intense white sometime, I have pro acryl as well, and found the AK white superior in just about every way.
@@malakye7459 Agreed. The AK whites are phenomenal as well
I'll have to get some
@@ThePaintingCoach make sure to get the one from their third generation paint line. I can't vouch for their other whites. That line is great in general though. I switched over to monument and AK for all my paints.
Painting White is the only reason why I never started white scars.
So thank you for this video!
Get them started!
About to start painting a Clone Army for Legion, this will work a treat.
Going to do exactly the same!
White looks bloody amazing
Cheers - nice and simple
This looks superb, but even more so considering how relatively simple the painting method is. Great video!
Thanks!
Excellent video - straight to the point. I like how you put the names of the colours up in the corner. Definitely helps.
Cheers!
I've always loved a solid white marine scheme...always looks so crisp 👌
Great video
Thanks!
They're like stormtroopers, but occasionally they hit what they shoot at.
Dang, that grey wash looks amazing. Also thanks for the tip in the Bold Titanium White.
No problem!
Just picked up some of that bold titanium white the other day. Best white paint out there imo.
It's great!
Didn't realise the new washes were out! Awesome!
This is also really helpful for setting up old school World Eaters and other white armored chapters. Well done!
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
Wow this looks great, and fast enough for painting large squads too.
Cheers

Will try this for my white scars 😊
I'm really excited to try that soul blight grey to paint a white horse for a cavalry unit.

Cracking job mucca. Going to use this when doing my World eaters!
Wicked 👍🏻
Fantastic. Very quick, but very nice, wanted something darker than Contrast Apothacary White, and your grey wash looks like a good call.
Cool 👍🏻
Da iawn ti! Looks great - the new contrast and shade paints are really nice. I've been enjoying playing around with them a lot.
Diolch! Yes they seem a great addition!
Nice. It is also great to hear a Welsh accent.

Check my shorts vid - i used apithecary white for biel tan 👍🏻
I don't have a white armor army, but I'll try this out using the White contrast paint instead of the wash.

Great advice. Undercoat white, the paint the mini and do some highlights. F-ing genius here
My new hospitaler army will be thankfull!
Enjoy!
Looks good, interesting how the grey wash keeps the white clean, vs. Choosing to do like a darker bone type of wash.
Looks amazing by the way, but would i need to use White Scar out of the pot over the flat Panels because of using the Soulblight Grey all of the model to bring back the white ?
Thanks - no you wouldn't - at least I didn't. Keep the soulblight moving so it doesn't pool on the armour and you should be fine
Great video! Do you think that applying the Soulbright grey through airbrush is a good idea? Will I archive similar results? Thank you
Probably not - it will give a more even coverage rather than getting into the deeper areas
Gonna give this white armour a crack on my SWL Clone Troopers but the whole white spray prime and Soulblight shade is really a nice look.
Should work great!
The end effect is amazing! Do you thin the soulblight in any way, or just have very little of it on your brush?
Very little on brush
Adopts an arrogant nasal overtone "That's actually an Imperialis, not an Aquila"
😂
Imperiales what?
What’s the difference?
Thank you! That was amazing!
Cheers Brian - glad you liked it!
You make easy look so.... easy.. lol well done!
Cheers Kyle
I like the Martian base, did you spray the legs, and with what ? I'd like to use that effect, great tutorial.
It's some weathering powder just blended in
i imagine the suggestions of soul blight will make painting my sacred rose sisters much easier then the attempt i made with army painters holy white
Maybe - I used apothecary white in my tutorial for them
Fairly new to painting models, But how many primer coats would you recommend doing? I'm painting my Tau white and can't quite get the white primer to look halfway decent. 🙃
I use a spray primer normally, short bursts until you have even coverage of your model 👍🏻 make sure the can is well shaken and warm enough too!
Thank you very much for this tutorial! I'm now going to use this for my first ever Space marine Army. Question. What did you use for the red dust effect on the legs!? I'd like to do the same thing.

No straight out of the pot - key is not having too much on your brush and taking away any excess that will pool

Are you using contrast paints? If so what’s the mix? I’m always nervous about using contrast because I’m not sure how to.
Everything I use in this tutorial is straight out of the pot, no mixing 👍🏻
Would you say this new shade is a more effective way of painting white vs the apothecary white contrast paint? They seem quite similar in method and finish?
I would say it's better for armour, whereas apothecary white is better for softer materials like cloth 👍🏻
Do you prime before the white scar spray?
No the spray works as a primer 👍🏻
When U do this, it looks so quick’n’easy.

No tutorial for the base! Is there a separate video for that?
There isn't - but it is just Vallejo red oxide paste and some red oxide weathering powder on the legs 👍🏻

How to tell a UK painter from a US one..... 'Tea staining' vs 'Coffee staining' 😉
How would you transfer this scheme to vehicals?? Would you just do the same method?
I would probably spray the vehicle grey, then carefully add white from above so I had a nice transition (you can do this with spray cans if you don't have an airbrush).
