Hey All! Yes, I know. Games Workshop have been less-than-cool to their customers recently: Excessive FOMO marketing, LFGS supply failures, untruths about Cursed City being supported, oafish IP enforcement, etc. etc. The Goobertown Hobbies video pipeline is now stocked with games and minis from a wide variety of other companies. There’s a LOT of exciting stuff on the way! All that being said, here I am publishing a 40k video. I wanted to get this Chaos video out ASAP, because it promotes a charity raffle which is live right now. Check out that raffle, and stay tuned for some spicy new videos :-) www.novaopenfoundation.org/
Oh aye I totally get it Brent! I know there's a fair amount of negative press surrounding GW, but as a content creator I totally understand that you gotta do what's already in the pipeline. Though it's awesome that you are branching out into more obscure brands, as there's a lot of really cool stuff out there that is almost as enjoyable to discover.
YES!!!! Always a pleasure Brent. Just to add a slight clarification, I donated my Khârn model to this year’s NOVA raffle which was beautifully painted by Jordan Powell (AspiringChampionPainting). This Khârn has brought me many fun times on the tabletop and will now be gifted and welcomed to a new home of the lucky winner.
I'm hearing very different opinions about Nurgle though: - It's good for beginners because Nurgle is messy by default - It's terrible for beginners due to the tons of details
Yeah, you can't go wrong with a Death Guard army, or a Nurgle army, if you're a first time painter. They're not extremely technical, and they usually look great on the table top, without a ton of effort, more than just base coating and a wash.
the "messy by default argument" haha what a blast from the past :D the terms of "messy" and how it gives the illusion of easyness could be a subject for a warning video, both for painting and conversions, so beginners don't fall for it. Of course we can argue, that all depend of your goal and the level of work and finition you are targeting. Maybe somebody have already talked about it somewhere, can't find anything tho.
That's the terrific part about them, though. If you have the skill and confidence, you can pick out the details and take them to whatever level you're comfortable with. Otherwise, you can also just slap some washes over them, because they're probably covered with sick grime in the lore anyhow.
@@murrayprovan4835 ^^^ he's got it. Do the crazy, messy, trail and error stuff. Tackle the details at your own pace. Never be afraid to go back and to some more work on a model after you learn something. If you keep the same dudes and put time into them and rework them when you get better and better nurgle can be your centerpiece army
I believe Brent playing evil Brent while being nice dude Brent is just a cover for the _real_ evil Brent. The special kind of evil that would show up at your house while you're out of town, mow and edge your lawn, then not let you pay him back in any way. Totally evil.
Washes are a nice thing; but sometimes it's just better to have very precise control over the shade. There's something very pleasing by just an exceptionally clean paint job. I love applying filters though; which I consider different.
As an day 1 beginner i really thank you for that, not impossible technics or extra tools just simple things that just needs practice. I appreciate that.
This makes me grateful I got into mini painting and Warhammer via that First Strike starter kit that was half Marines and half Death Guard. The Poxwalkers were ideal to get a handle putting brush to plastic and the Death Guard gave me a chance to paint something more elaborate. When I won it in an MTG tournament I lucked into a great start to a new hobby.
If you're not confident with testing out paint consistency on your expensive models, here's a hot tip! Prime up a part of the sprue, and test your paints on that! It's a great way to get a feel for your paint without putting it on something you are afraid of ruining. And you can also use it to try out scary new techniques such as edge highlighting and wet blending!
(late news) Brilliant! Am not a painter, but that could change. Working out how far to dilute the paints has been puzzling me, but - as you point out - why not run a try-out on not-the-mini plastic? Best regards!
I'm now feeling less intimidated about getting started with Slaves to Darkness. I'm just waiting on some texture paint to show up before I get started, but I'm super excited to finally dive into the hobby.
Another one that I find easier for beginners is...Orks! Why? Well painting greenskin is easier than actual fleshy skin. And they have big faces, meaning big eyes, meaning easier to paint those bits too!
I'm painting Ultramarines as my first army, but I also painted the Indomitus Necrons and found them surprisingly easy to paint. Prime black, dry brush silver, paint eyes and glowing weapon bits neon green, cover in agrax earthshade and you're done.
So yesterday I finally conquered my fear of jumping in and painting minis again. I had tried several times over the past few years, but never managed to finish one. Yesterday I decided to try a Rubric Marine that I had on hand, thinking that it was probably not the most appropriate mini to start painting again. Today I stumbled upon this video. Life is good !
That was an amazing video. Love the logic of chaos marines being great starter models. They are great practice and not boring to paint at all. Where loyalist marines can get repetitive.
I just felt like I had to say thank you Brent. The first video I watched of yours was the beginner painting tutorial with the 5 chaos warriors. I have come a long way from my first models and between you and EBay Miniature Rescues I have learned amazing tricks I use each time I paint. Thank you also for the long hours of Paint Bravely I have been a devoted listener sense day 1 and have enjoyed hearing about couches, light up vans, fishing trips, and all the other rabbit trails you two go on. Once again THANK YOU you have a subscriber for life!
This is such a cute and wholesome video, giving some newbies a confidenve boost. When I started I was scared to mess things up, but once I actually did put some paint on my miniatures, even the ones that weren't even close to finish just looked that much better and more interesting on the battlefield, from 2 feet away, then plain, grey or primed ones. You basically can NEVER mess up, if you just apply base coats or four color easy details and can always come back, if you feel the need to, but to get stuff battlefield ready, you really don't need any fancy skills, just the conviction to do it.
This is a very important video for me. It built my confidence in retrying warhammer after a 4ish year pause and decided my first army for me. I played chaos space marines all throughout 9th edition because of you, Brent. And I appreciate it.
After a 10 year hiatus I came back to 40K to finish my chaos marines. In 3 years, I’ve grown leaps and bounds as a painter. While I can’t claim I will ever like painting all that trim, I can’t deny that it had helped me expand my skills and confidence. I recommend these models too - just be prepared for some frustration learning to paint neatly!
Thank you so much for this! I am brand new, and looking into what I even *want* to play, and then worryingly if I can paint the faction I like well enough. You've given me confidence to just go and try, even an army usually called "way too difficult for a beginner".
Legend, Brent! Recently dipped into CSM myself, found it was a bit more beneficial to paint the trim first then the armour. Still get the control practice but less frustrating for beginners as panels are larger so more forgiving in this scenario. Great work as always! Love from Australia mate.
Awesome to see your take and contribution. It was likewise an honor to participate in painting up that Khorne army. I've always given the advice to let the model work for you as much as possible when it comes to painting.
You know, there's a rather easy way to do several of the armies. Prime/Base layer in black, then use a bright neon color for a light drybrush to hit the edges, then another bright color for anything on the model that would be glowing. Paint base itself black with the rim in the same neon you used for the army. You get a rather neat effect that looks a lot like the old wireframe displays in games and scifi movies. A friend of mine did that with the older Prodoss AvP game stuff he'd gotten, it was a rather fun way for an extremely quick and simple paint job.
Imperial Knights are the all time most Beginner friendly army to paint. They are a bit on the expensive side. But you only need to build 3 Armigers and a main Titan Knight to participate in any 1000 pt battle.
Definitely understand that this video goes up because of a charity, even with everything going on. One thing I have to say is I was thinking back on your old videos and I am impressed with how far your painting has come in that time, really cool to watch you develop your skill
Not gonna lie, when I saw you ACTUALLY suggesting Chaos I was kinda thrown back.....but I get what you're saying. Patience and accuracy scare people off pretty hard, but if you can convince them how awesome it can look, the "Paint by numbers" of Chaos is actually a great thing to notice. Absolute props to this revelation, will consider this when talking to people getting into the hobby!
This couldn't have come at a better time bro! I've been watching yours and other mini channels for about a week and decided on C.S.M. and my first set should be in the mail any time now! If I like it as much as I think I will, I think I'm going to start a channel to show the hobby from an absolute beginner's perspective. Thanks Brent!
Me: "What does a guy from Maine know about 'spicy' stuff-" Brent: "Beginners should paint Chaos Space Marines" Me: "TOO SPICY! WATER! MILK! AAAAh!" Joking aside: awesome stuff as always.
Nurgle and Khorne Daemons! They are easy to paint, and can be used in AoS and 40k. 😋 Chaos Brent is a real delight. I hope that a 3d printable version of his chaotic majesty comes out. Your trim painting game is top-notch; and your point about painting the Chaos Marines as a teaching experience is neat too.
For my 2 cents I'd definitely say Sylvaneth. Being tree people they can accommodate a simple colour scheme which is helpful as new painters don't likely have many paints. That being said, they also have some great detail and texture that offers opportunities to practice and be creative.
That was an amazing video. Love the logic of chaos marines being great starter models. They are great practice and not boring to paint at all. Where loyalist marines can get repetitive.
I loved the needlessly long intermission! Also, it must have been hard trying to walk soullessly while being followed by a cute doggo! Another line that's easy to get into are Northstar's plastics, both for Frostgrave and Stargrave (though I'm not a fan of the troopers). They are not as detailed as recent GW sculpts, but everything is compatable for more variety, they have good female sculpts and they have faces that are not just young, and are not just caucasian.
A buddy gave me a Space Marine he didn't want. I painted that and fell in love with space marines. The first GW models I bought and painted were a box of Chaos Space Marines, and that quickly grew into a full 2500 points of Black Legion. I couldn't agree with you more, as now that I painted about 12 miles worth of gold trim, I have some excellent brush control.
THIS Brent you are so right, I wish people would spend more time, me included, focussing on getting the basics right first. It makes a lot of difference.
You can really tell Brent is a pro considering he would suggest Chaos as a beginner army. My good man Necrons are were it's at give them a silver spray and a nuln oil wash and your pretty much good to go... But this obviously highlights our difference in talent and patience 😀 keep up the great work my good man.
As a new painter to 40k (and painter of my group), I think CSM is kinda wild because of the amount of trim. I started painting with Tyranids (easy), then custodes (all gold, easy) and last CSM (advanced). I’m happy I started that way based on the amount of detail each army had. Painting an army is not a race, but we all want to get those toys on the table to play and I think CSM will take some time to finish as stated in the video. However, one can look back at the CSM as a starting point and think “meh, I’ve had worse.”
I love how the black dog came to greet Dave with excitement, only for Dave to remain stoic. Now that takes some real dedication. Who could resist such excitement?
I started with Rubric marines and make this exact argument to people! It's def not for everybody because trim can be really frustrating, but going back and forth fixing mistakes on chaos trim until everything is filled in properly builds beginner brush control like nothing else
I actually started with chaos space marines, a hellbrute being the first model I've finished completely. All the details, trimm and edges make it really easy - like painting by numbers.
Good to feature the raffle while it is an ongoing item! I was a bit distracted as to why you were going munchie on those spicy snacks, but Ok it is your video! No silliness is no obstacle to F U N ! Take care and be safe out there!
Bruh... at 4:30 those already looked table ready if you just wanted color on them to game with your friends. I'm so... so jealous... all of my models are sitting there begging me to assemble them and paint them. I decided to redo my paintjob for the Dark Angels I have, do a custom chapter for my primaris and then I still have Tau to put together (start collecting box, getting that assembled this weekend... already have the Ethereal, 3 crisis suits and 6 drones built!) Then there's my Seraphon for AoS that are looking longingly at my tools.
Brent, are you high? Chaos space marines for a new painter? You're insane, that's actually the worst army for a beginner painter, hands down. A real answer to the question is really simple. Necrons. Prime black, dry brush metal, pick out a few details in a green edge highlighted with yellow. Even a beginner painter could paint 2k points of Necrons in a single weekend.
@@GoobertownHobbies Spicy isn't the word I'd use. ;) lol On a serious note, the only chaos space marines I'd suggest for a noob that I didn't want to quit the hobby ASAP would be deathguard, as they really should look... well.... terrible....
Hi Brent. I am the owner of Tabletop News Today. We would love to do an interview and feature on your channel. What is the best way to contact you? I am a supporter on Patreon and on Discord.
Love the video, and hohoholy crap the NOCF spot made me laugh hard. Using your delightful facial expressions and goofy demeanor to their fullest. Well done.

YEAHHHH FIRST VIEW!!!!! I know I am going to love this vid!!!!
Yep, I did!!!
Brent, you are most excellent!

This was amazing! haha
That bunker is impressing
Okay, but which of these Marines makes the best fishing lure?
Asking the real questions here.
The one that either looks like a fish or… don’t share this secret…
something fish like to eat 😮🫢
Salamanders lol
Slaneesh. Fishes love slaneesh.
Silver metallic colors seem to incite the attack response in most fish species...

"We're starting with black primer."
It's a trick!
And a zenithal highlight
@@Josh24861 I don't think they're zenithal'd, Chaos Black primer is just really glossy.
@@Zakon673 no, its incredibly matte. Abbadon black is the gloss finish 👌
DOOMER Brent is the best Brent.
"Chaos Space Marines" *guitar riff*
I believe Brent playing evil Brent while being nice dude Brent is just a cover for the _real_ evil Brent. The special kind of evil that would show up at your house while you're out of town, mow and edge your lawn, then not let you pay him back in any way. Totally evil.

No payback?! Monster!!!😮
I am Brentarius
No tricks, scams, cons, hustles, hoodwinks, gambits, flimflams, stratagems, OR bamboozles? I’m shocked!
Nope, just a bit of mind control chaos magic.
No wash, Brent you are living on the edge with this one!! Two thin coats, that's what all new painters need to hear.
Grima Wormtongue Jr. Forgot about the most important part; "two thin coats"
Washes are a nice thing; but sometimes it's just better to have very precise control over the shade. There's something very pleasing by just an exceptionally clean paint job.
I love applying filters though; which I consider different.
I like seeing videos on Chaos Space Marines, the models still have a bit of that old school charm, and are kind of underrated content wise! Very nice!
You know what I've been painting for years and I never get tired of studying the basics, especially here 😊👍
As an day 1 beginner i really thank you for that, not impossible technics or extra tools just simple things that just needs practice. I appreciate that.
This makes me grateful I got into mini painting and Warhammer via that First Strike starter kit that was half Marines and half Death Guard.

When I won it in an MTG tournament I lucked into a great start to a new hobby.
I’ve always enjoyed painting Chaos Marines especially Death Guard they have such good details and have their own individual feel to them
Gotta say, I love how increasingly almost every upload to Warhammer RUclipsrs channels is a crossover episode.
Man, that costume and dare we call it a smile? That's gonna be nightmare fuel...

“Dave has spent too much time dabbling with warp energies and that has made his mind easy to corrupt.” 😆
"Why not choose chaos?" - Good question, why not? :D Awesome look for both 40k and fantasy
Chaos Marines were my first 40k army and are still my favorite. Looking great!

Oh man I love Takis! Every time I visit my ma I grab at least 6 packs as soon as I arrive. Great work as always man :)

Can't wait for more fishing videos, you got a great personality man
Me: Watch it be Primaris Space Marines because big round and smooth.
Chaos Space Marines
Me: Oh no, he’s giving away my secret!
I haven't watched the video but just here to say, the best army is the one that makes you happiest.
Nurgle and Khorne Daemons! They are easy to paint, and can be used in AoS and 40k. 😋 Chaos Brent is a real delight. I hope that a 3d printable version of his chaotic majesty comes out. Your trim painting game is top-notch; and your point about painting the Chaos Marines as a teaching experience is neat too.
"if you're looking for options, why not Chaos?" this should be the Word Bearers motto
For my 2 cents I'd definitely say Sylvaneth. Being tree people they can accommodate a simple colour scheme which is helpful as new painters don't likely have many paints. That being said, they also have some great detail and texture that offers opportunities to practice and be creative.
Best behind-the-scenes of the Miniwargaming Studio I've seen... also some painting I guess
Great idea to lure newbies to the dark side, and a timely beginner tutorial for the upcoming Thousand Sons release.
That was an amazing video. Love the logic of chaos marines being great starter models. They are great practice and not boring to paint at all. Where loyalist marines can get repetitive.
I loved the needlessly long intermission! Also, it must have been hard trying to walk soullessly while being followed by a cute doggo!
Another line that's easy to get into are Northstar's plastics, both for Frostgrave and Stargrave (though I'm not a fan of the troopers). They are not as detailed as recent GW sculpts, but everything is compatable for more variety, they have good female sculpts and they have faces that are not just young, and are not just caucasian.
Why do you always make such quality videos? God... i just love your videos 🔥
Man, I have no Idea how you get your colors to be so smooth, bright, and solid. These look amazing!
Loving the smoothness, that tone, contrast and volume. Also the painting is great
Great video and great advice. Thanks Brent.
Brent, I love this video. Completely agree with all points mentioned, thank you! Superb!👌
The sludge band in the video is Carvings song: flashes from the red suns
Thank you!
You sir are the Bob Ross of miniature painting.

Anybody else notice that Brent looks suspiciously like 90s Jerry Cantrell? Love this channel and can’t unsee that.
Love both of these channels. Well done man!
See, I just talked myself down from picking up 40K again, and here comes Brent to tell me I was on the right path! 😂

Just got back from vacation and woke up to this. It’s been a good weekend, and now I’m excepting a good week.
I’m here for the fishing vids! Get those Lunker vids rolling! 🏆 Nice tips and the key is to have fun!
Great effort for the Nova open! Also Chaos Space Marines were my first army, and I think I agree with you 👍
Fisher House. Amazing. Thank you Brent and all.
Brent, this video really cheered me up on a gloomy Monday morning. Thank you! Loved the silliness in this video.

I actually started with chaos space marines, a hellbrute being the first model I've finished completely. All the details, trimm and edges make it really easy - like painting by numbers.
Those look freaking awesome. Thanks for the video.
The 5th chaos god made the trim on the chaos marines. Truly the most cruel of them all.
Good to feature the raffle while it is an ongoing item! I was a bit distracted as to why you were going munchie on those spicy snacks, but Ok it is your video! No silliness is no obstacle to F U N ! Take care and be safe out there!
I'm picturing the end of this video done in a 50's style TV commercial, "Choose Chaos, today!"
This was great!
This is how I began too. I started painting CSM and very quickly learned brush control from it. Definitely recommend it to beginners.
4:44 - Go Go Power Rangers! They remind me of the Psycho Rangers.
Bruh... at 4:30 those already looked table ready if you just wanted color on them to game with your friends. I'm so... so jealous... all of my models are sitting there begging me to assemble them and paint them. I decided to redo my paintjob for the Dark Angels I have, do a custom chapter for my primaris and then I still have Tau to put together (start collecting box, getting that assembled this weekend... already have the Ethereal, 3 crisis suits and 6 drones built!) Then there's my Seraphon for AoS that are looking longingly at my tools.
Big Thanks for that hint, will probably save me from a frustrating start into the hobby.😅
The Bob Ross of the mini painting world
Brent, are you high? Chaos space marines for a new painter? You're insane, that's actually the worst army for a beginner painter, hands down.
A real answer to the question is really simple. Necrons. Prime black, dry brush metal, pick out a few details in a green edge highlighted with yellow. Even a beginner painter could paint 2k points of Necrons in a single weekend.
told you it was a spicy recommendation! I stand by it though :-)
@@GoobertownHobbies Spicy isn't the word I'd use. ;) lol
On a serious note, the only chaos space marines I'd suggest for a noob that I didn't want to quit the hobby ASAP would be deathguard, as they really should look... well.... terrible....
Wonderful vid as always goobs
Hi Brent. I am the owner of Tabletop News Today. We would love to do an interview and feature on your channel. What is the best way to contact you? I am a supporter on Patreon and on Discord.
heyo! yeah go ahead and send me a DM on discord :-)
Apply of Khorne.... Love Dave ps that metal song is a slammer
Nice, Im glad I have fulfilled both of the versions. I just chose chaos space marines as my first minis in like two weeks ago. :))
Great concept for a video and well executed with your patented mellow. Would love to see a video like this for AoS.
Best advert I've seen for corruption in a long while 😆 🤣
That army looks fantastic!
Loved this video, as someone who has sworn in service to Grandfather Nurgle Chaos is best! Heresy all the way!
Love the video, and hohoholy crap the NOCF spot made me laugh hard. Using your delightful facial expressions and goofy demeanor to their fullest. Well done.

Didn't expect some Stoner Doom Metal.
