Love this video. I wanted to ask where you got the bases from as I'm keen to start a boarding actions project and think these would be perfect. Thanks in advance. 😊
Brilliant work!! Do you have any tips though as I’ve tried to replicate this using an airbrush and the colours are much more desaturated than in the video. Also the blood red appears more orange in real life. Am I doing something wrong?
So I would avoid using the airbrush for the top half of the highlights. I find the finish of airbrushing the colors is very different from hand painting them, where you get a much more intense, opaque finish.
Hi Jonathan, thanks for the video! I really like how you did your bases! Wanted to ask why you chose to use the AK paints for the blood angel? I use a similar technique but with citadel khorne red, mephiston red, evil suns scarlet. I’ve tried vallejo and pro acryl but find the citadel paints give the smoothest airbrushed layers with the least texture. But I’ve not used AK paints before and was wondering how they compare with citadel. Thanks!
Correct. cults3d.com/en/3d-model/game/blood-angels-intercessor-helmets It's their BA Prime helmets, which are "Technically" for Intercessors, but they work just as well for the Firstborn and Horus Heresy armors as well.
@@JohnathanHo How close are his heads to the official models? I've been looking at some for my own minis, but nobody ever seems to have comparison pics for 3D prints vs official stuff.
Hey there, these minis look absolutely amazing and I've fallen in love with them, you did an amazing job on them! I would absolutely love to make my own army out of them, and I've heard that a few of these pieces are printed from Cults3d. If you dont mind me asking, what parts were printed and what terms could I search and use to find these specific prints? i.e. the shoulders, helmet, packs, weapons etc...
Honestly a lot of it was just the "suggested files" from original searches. I'd probably start with "Blood Angels" or "40k", and deep dive from there. A lot of it is from Cults3d; some paid, some free, and then things like the arms are reposed to hold weapons (especially the maces, axes, and spears) since the resin doesn't cut/pin particularly well, so it was easier to print everything as a whole piece rather than separate.
@@JohnathanHo thanks. Been trying the paint scheme recently but just cant seem to find the correct ratio to prevent pooling, webbing or clogging through my hp cs. Will have to test again.
Correct. The process for how I'm using oils on these particular minis, and how I'm following up the painting process afterwards, means I don't necessarily need to gloss the minis. The gloss is meant to help break surface tension, specifically keeps the oils in just the recesses, and also helps with allowing you to cleanly remove the oils from the surface (ie if you're dot filtering). I don't need any of those; the gaps on these models are chunky enough the oils collect in the recesses anyways, and I was always going to repaint/blend/highlight the armor afterwards, so a little messiness on the larger flat areas (might be more noticeable on the tanks/dreadnoughts) is a non-issue.
Scarlet Red. Sorry about that! I'm still playing around with a new wireless mic I've picked up, so I think the gain levels need fiddling (and probably shouldn't use the fuzzy "pop" filter attachment it comes with! :D
This man is a wizard and I am so glad Eric's Hobby Workshop sent me here!
I'm amazed your channel doesn't have 20 times the subscribers it has. Your tutorials are awesome.
Well it's taken me a while to find my stride and style (probably still trying to find it!) and growth takes time!
Best God darn advice on using oils. Thank you, sir. My Blood Angels will appreciate it.
Honestly, one of the most enlightening tutorials I've seen in a long time. Thank you for sharing your immaculate process!
You're welcome!
Thanks for your advises and your tutorial !
You're welcome!
Been looking forward to watching this one
I hope it helps! :)
They are beautiful!!
Thank you very much!
Nice tutorial!

Love to see how you'd do sanguinary guard gold armor
Amazing job!
Thank you very much!
Where did the bases come from or are they custom made?
Amazing paintjob. But I desperately want to know what the wrist mounted bolter? is from. such a cool arm.
It's 3d-printed from a combination of files that I cut apart and re-mashed in Meshmixer.
@@JohnathanHo dang. I really want those jus for standard marines.

amazing as always. May I ask where the bases have come from?
They are 3d-printed from a combination of files from Cults3D and Corvus Games Terrain.

Check out my video on Essential Colors, where I explain why I don't use GW paints and why I've gravitated towards AK lately.
Where did you get those bases? Love those.
They are printed! I believe these are from Corvus Games Terrain.
Where did you get your helmet from? Is that one of Red Warden Miniatures' primaris heads?

Hey amazing, earned a sub :) Can I ask where you got the torso/shoulder pads from?
They are 3D printed; the files are from Cults3d
Beautifully done! Really tempted to try as ive recently got gifted some ak 3rd gen paints. Whats your thinning ratio if i may ask?
It varies. I usually do 1:1 for most of my basecoats and highlights, but will sometimes go 2:1 or 3:1 for washes/glazes depending on strength
@@JohnathanHo thanks. Been trying the paint scheme recently but just cant seem to find the correct ratio to prevent pooling, webbing or clogging through my hp cs. Will have to test again.
sorry might i ask are you doing your oil wash with out glossing your mini's? thanks

Did you kitbash
/convert the wrist mounted bolter?
As most of the weapons/bits on my Blood Angels, it's a 3d "kitbash" (stl-bash?) that I then printed.
@@JohnathanHo fair enough, looks really good
What 3D printer did you use for your custom armor/weapon pieces & bases?
I printed everything on the Elegoo Saturn, using Elegoo's Ceramic Grey Water Washable Resin.
Where could I find those helmets
What scarlett is the first highlight? the microphone is a bit muffled.
Thanks,
Scarlet Red. Sorry about that! I'm still playing around with a new wireless mic I've picked up, so I think the gain levels need fiddling (and probably shouldn't use the fuzzy "pop" filter attachment it comes with! :D
Whered you get those bases from?
@@PhilSNight they're 3d printed from various sources (Corvus Terrain is the main source. )
@@JohnathanHo Thank you!
Where are the weapons and arms come from?
They're 3D printed
"We first need to assemble our models.." well I'm out lol
Haha the first step is always the hardest, isn't it! :D
