What color would you recommend using to do a candy blue?
I would also cover all the metal red elements with gloss varnish to improve candy red effect
Please emperor children.
I had a rush of excrement to the brains and used my brush cleaning stuff and… well it cleaned the paint off good but also started to dissolve the plastic too!!!
Currently sanding down my space marine and working out what to do with him!! 🤦♂️
If you do a paint scheme your not happy with how do you clean it off with out destroying the figure and all its detailing??
Your calm voice and demeanour while providing an easy-to-follow step-by-step tutorial is such an excellent way to give newbies like me encouragement to not only start projects, but also have fun. My hat's off to you, Sir!
Thanks 👍
I mean, I have seen people calling him the "Bob Ross of Warhammer". There is a good reason for that !
@@vatiti9573 Then Duncan is in good company indeed!
Magnus did the right thing, the wrong way. It’s like doing Morse code with a machine gun.
Yup! Hindsight is 20/20
The best way I've EVER heard someone explain this.
Hold up you don't Morse code with a machine gun?
@@baltar2006 personally I'm more of an airburst kinda guy. Leaves people wondering.
It's like doing Morse code with a machine gun... And you have a cell phone available.
Such a sick method for creating that candy red! Well done as always boys!
Thanks. It's a fun technique
I had no idea that shade paints tend to slip off of a surface sprayed with a metallic basecoat; I've been having that exact issue painting some CSM for a long time, and I've been beginning to doubt the quality of my Nuln Oil/my wash application skills. Knowing that I ought to go over it with a proper base paint first is a great tip!
This secretly doubles as a guide to painting Iron Man! Thanks Duncan!
Gotta love a good metallic scheme. The Thousand Sons are some of the most unique looking marines out there, both in Heresy and in 40k. That shiny red just feels special.
Alpha Legion also look great in a metallic scheme. That blue/green/teal effect that Forge World painters do on them makes them really stand out. and this tutorial is excellent for painting that scheme as well. Change out the gold for silver and the red for Akhelian Green or Terradon Turquoise (or both) and you're off to the races.
Thanks. We did that very thing for our Alpharius tutorial over on the Academy site. It turned out great and was fun to paint.
As someone who did a modern day thousand sons offshoot with the heresy colors with the idea of "All is not yet dust" this one hit hard
Blood Raven's?
Nope. XD @@JRFO292
I think they're offshoots from a hybrid of Raven Guard and Blood Angels.
Always wondered how to make such a neat Candy Red. Thanks Duncan for another amazing class!
It's our pleasure and we're glad you enjoyed it 😊
I was just planning on getting some 30K models and thousand sons are one of my favorites! Thank you Duncan!
Painted an entire army of 30K 1k Sons 3 years ago -- all 1980s Chaos Renegades (and on hexagonal bases for old times sake). I heartily recommend using Tamiya's clear red to tint your metallic paint red. No need to worry about being so careful (as you do using the contrast overpaint method). The only drawback is that you need to spray a 'Satin' Varnish over your miniatures at the end. This because the Tamiya clear red is gloss.
Thanks for this one Duncan! I've just got myself a Heresy-era Ahriman, so this will come in very handy. I had an idea for a video whilst I was watching too - technical brush skills. By this I mean things like showing what a 'good' amount of paint on a brush looks like, how thin is too thin, etc.
I don't have a Thousand Sons army but I used this technique to paint the Ahriman from my Burning of Prospero box. It turned out great! Thanks Dunc!
Edge highlighting the red in gold is interesting, I like the effect! Very warm
Man games workshop should hire this guy, hes really good
Beeing a TS player ,this one hits me hard !!!
Thank you Duncan !!!
Duncan using his own paints is a flex few could ever achieve
Really useful! Several touches I didn't know before
Perfect candy red, not too bright and not too dull, thank you 😊
Our pleasure
This is the same process used to create a "candy apple" paint job on a car. Great to see it applied to a space marine figure!
I like the gold edge on the candy-red power armour.
The white bolter is an unsual colour, I've remember seeing that with the Iron Hands in 2013. It works with the colour scheme of the Thousand Son.
That looks amazing Duncan. I just have difficulties getting the contrast paint to behave. It always seems to become streaky.
You could probably have pre-highlighted before you put the red on. That way the highlights would have also been red.
Wouldnt it have been a bit more fitting if they had light blue eyes? What with their warp powers and all.
They do usually have jewel-blue eyes, which looks quite striking, but it’s not unheard of to do other colours if you want to :)
Wow, this model is beautiful...
Picked the same method for my 40k Chapter but wasn't sure about the right way to highlight the red. Now I know what to do to finish themin stile ^^
Thanks a lot, Duncan
My favorite space marine scheme ! Thank for the tutorial =)
More Heresy! Love it
Stellar tutorial Duncan! Would love to see your take on more metallic looking Sons of Horus, like the older HH Black Book art. I've seen a few people attempt this with stuff like Coelia Greenshade sprayed over a metallic base in the past, as well as Vallejo's XPress Snake Green.
great way of doing a metallic red!
I love doing the airbrush method, but this is perfect to me for smaller areas that I don't have the room to mask off, or that masking off would just be a lot of work for such a small area.
Cant wait to see how you paint these up!
Hey Duncan! I’d love to see the Iron Hands get some love sometime. Would be very interesting to see how you’d do it.
Cant wait to see how you tackle these marines!
Big fan of the candy red color.
This video is going to be extremely helpful, both for painting my 30k and 40k Thousand Sons
Awesome 😊
Lovely look - I really like the base gold.
Now fo a chapter in Mr Blobby colours.
One thing I’ve seen done is to preshade the gold before applying the filter (contrast), that way you get that candy apple red but still have some variation in it for highlights.
I love it I don’t play these guys but I can definitely use some of this for characters for supers Saturday.
This looks great on infantry, but what about vehicles, I've been trying to figure out the candy red on tanks and dreadnoughts can this method work for them without looking streaky ?
very nice Duncan. Gratz
Thanks for the tutorial! :D now the funny thing is that while I really like the Thousand Sons and Magnus in general, the video is far more important to me in a kinda unexpected way, because now you showed me a great way to paint Blood Ravens! Time for good old Commander Boreale to meme around some more! STEEL REEIN!!!! :D
Nice 👍
Amazing as usual. Any chance we could get a tutorial on the Necron Kill Team art online?
Damn that's gorgeous...
My Inner Space Wolf is not impressed, but it really is gorgeous
Love this video personally i prefer taymia clear red for the glass look but a great video flr an easy way to paint thousand sons as a lot if people find tgst challenging
I was just thinking that I should get around to stripping and repainting my Burning Of Prospero set, and moments later I see that you've posted this vid!
Quick question: Does the contrast over gold provide a particular effect, or can I use a red paint that I already own without buying a contrast paint that I doubt that I'd use on anything else?
Hi Duncan & Co, what a sweet candy red this gives. Really impressed.
I'm wondering if you have any tips (perhaps a video idea?) on a 40k Iron Hands paint guide. I'm thinking something with a metallic undercoat might also suit them just like the Thousand Sons, but I'm curious how you would approach them to make that black pop on the table top.
Thanks!
Mmmmm...not a bad idea.
Can you do a tutorial on salamander cloaks? Maybe a few different techniques and colors
Horus Heresy chaos space marines: 😍😍🥰🥰
40K chaos space marines: 😡😡 Trims! (Even on weapon!)
you can Airbrush the Blood angels red and just thin it down with a drop of airbrush thinner and you get the same resault :)
Will you make a video on how to make arbites into Judges from 2000AD
I enjoyed this video
Pretty similar to how I paint gems and lenses.
How do you do the green gems and lenses? Mine don't seem to come out over gold or silver.
How would you recommend doing this color scheme for vehicles? Any changes or different techniques to make applying the contrast over tanks easier?
To help with speed, I use tamiya clear red spray.
A question. I want to paint a Blood Raven's army's. Kinda find .... Nice to use this color scheme with some variations, any advice?
So many of the heretics have such tragic backstories, poor puertorabo was cast aside by the imperium and heretics alike, Angron was remembered a coward after the Emperor kidnapped him, Conrad curse was branded a heretic for doing what he was made to do whilst space wolves were lorded by the emperor.
I find so many of the heretics far more likeable than say the aragance of the lion and I think GW did a great job of making it all really blurry about who the “good” guys were
I love the colour, but what do you do if you make a mistake and accidentally paint over the red with another colour. How do you correct that?
Glad he chose a new sculpt, the old ones look quite poor these days
Can you airbrush the red over the gold?
Can u paint the current thousand sons like u did the adeptus custodes and use the blood angels red contrast paint for the blue bits of armor
Could you airbrush the red stage to make it speedier for large batches?
Where are the two thin coats paints sold?
Excellent video, but could you say what alternative colours you could use more please 👍🏻
We used to but it got a little tiring and arduous for the viewer (feedback) so we included a link in the description to a colour conversion chart on our website 😊
@@DuncanRhodesDRPA I just this second noticed you had that. Excellent idea
I feel the gold could be used for more prominent characters. Silver could be used for regular marines, though I suppose you could just chip with silver
True dat.
how would this work for a spartan tank, seeing as lots of flat panels?
Is dragons gold a citadel paint?😅
I’m thinking of using this painting for my Commander Farsight.
Do you think this will work?
Sure, if that's the effect you are after it could look quite cool. If you are unsure, then test it on a spare mini :-)
would very much like a pre herasy death guard tutorial - all the ones ive seen online dont gel with me
Are these all citadel paints?
That candy apple looks delicious
I wonder why he didn't get the unique heads, as i feel the runes would have been a very nice tutorial, especially for beginners to the thousand sons.
Fair point. The reason is that we wanted to show you what you can do straight out the box 😊
@@DuncanRhodesDRPA i figured it was either that or just personal dislike of the heads, but then the shoulder pad was an oddity to me in the case of just simplicity. Still phenomenal work, kinda makes me want to repaint my blue 40k dusty boys like this.
how does your red not look grainy. I followed the exact same process but your red look so much more shiny.
It may be that your metallic paints needed a bit more mixing or it could be that your metallic layer needs a few thin coats.
Does this same process work for rubric marines if I wanted to do them with their pre heresy colors?
Yes 👍
@@DuncanRhodesDRPA Great, thank you!
@@DuncanRhodesDRPA Two follow up questions for you. First, is it okay to use a normal metallic gold spray paint from a hardware store to basecoat? Second, what are your thoughts on painting the head, backpack, and weapon separate, then attaching it to the model; worth it?
What if I make a mistake like letting psychneuein near a non-protected human?
I'm gonna try this method for my emperors children
great video Duncan, have you considered doing a tutorial on contrasts over metallics?
Why is two thin coats paint more expensive then citadel paint?
Great question. The simple reason is the quality of ingredients to make the best paint we possibly could. Our paint isn't 'from the shelf' with a label smashed on but one we developed from the ground up. We wanted it to have both excellent coverage as well as be incredibly smooth and that unfortunately, doesn't come cheap. We also have over 3ml per bottle more including an agitator added to each one and no matter the paint you buy from a wash to an acrylic to a metallic, it's one price. I hope that answers your question 😊
Blood for RUclips and skull for the algorithm !
Red Ink would work well, if you don't have the Blood Angel's Red Contrast.
Also, Magnus did nothing wrong.
Most of the HH color schemes are pretty boring, but this looks dang good!
Love me sum thousand sons
👍
1 down, 999 to go.
Sorry to disagree Duncan, but you paint Heresy Era Thousand Sons black and melted, because you know, Prospero burned?
Ha! Yes, good point lol
The Thousand sons were dealt an awful hand.
I don't care for Chaos, but the Emperor is truly a villain.
They sure were. Quite tragic and Shakespearean
@@DuncanRhodesDRPA A thousand sons is still my favourite heresy novel, despite the many great books now in the series.
We also would like to remember y'all, and Duncan agrees, that Magnus did nothing wrong
Magnus did no wrong
Magnus did no right.
I usually don't bother highlighting my miniatures for playing. Showcase minis - yes, by all means. But in my personal experience, such detail work is wasted in models that are in use.
This video is a toal scam. He literally only paints one son!!
Good painting though
