I've recently converted to BT's. I used to play Blood Angels, but they haven't had many primaris updates, so I decided to give BT's a go now that they have loads of really nice new primaris minis. I'm really hoping we get a Primaris Landraider Crusader, and maybe even a Primaris Chaplain Dreadnought as well. I'm a big fan of assault space marine chapters. I played BA's since I was a wee lad. I am thinking about starting some White Scars as well though and making them a bike heavy army. I am hoping I can convert the regular space marine bikes to have primaris riders though, as I really don't want any "stumpies" in my armies. I know we have the outriders now, but I think we still need some regular space marine bikes for an army. Maybe I can convert the outriders to have the correct weapon load out's though. I think the idea of a biker gang astartes army is awesome. I think anything that's not on bikes I'll likely use drop pods to get into the thick of it, maybe a flying transport or two. I used to run the flying transports in my BA army. I'd drop a Death Company Dread out of it, and a squad of death company out of the other one. It was a shame that there was such a glaring weakness in the DC rules though (the fact they attack the closest enemy) as they were able to be exploited. They were incredibly string for about a week, then people worked out they could just kite them. I ended up playing Nurgle CSM instead after this. This was way before the Death Guard plastics though, and we actually had to convert our plague marines from plastic CSM kits. I mean we did have some plague marine minis, but only 5 or sculpts. We used to actually cut out the abdomen from the plastic CSM kits and sculpt in bloated bellys with green stuff. TBH what got me into doing this was that I seen an army where someone had made blood angels infected with nurgle, and the conversions were gorgeous. the freedom the nurgle CSM players had with conversions really spoke to me and from then out I collected Nurgle CSM. I still have a Nurgle CSM army now, but I have all new Death Guard plastics. I'm just taking my time with them as they're a passion project, and I want to get them exactly right. So I picked Black templar as my army I will paint faster to play games with. I thought the paint scheme was simple enough where I didn't have to do lots of testers, and also the scheme is already locked in. With my Nurgle CSM I have so many options on how to paint them. Whether to stick with green or go another colour, then what method to achieve the colour I want. It's nice to have an army like BT where the colour scheme is already locked in, and I can just crack on with painting and converting them, without all the sleepless nights about how to do them. I think the most work will be adding details to my 3 redemptor dreads. I want to add lots of bits and bobs to them to sell that they are BT.
It was not identical but slightly modified, as the toes of one foot were curled under unlike the totally flat-footed 'stealers from the original Space Hulk and Deathwing boxes.
i'm 21, i've been in Warhammer since 14 or so, my first army was Tyranids. 2 years ago one old guy that visits my local GW store quite usually, spoke to me about some retro and old minis that he had in his home, the next time i saw him, he gifted to me 24 old Genestealers and a modern Broodlord, i was so happy and so thankfull to him. It's so crazy to me that i play and paint miniatures that are older than me thanks to this old man. He usually gives some boxes away to people that usually comes to the shop and has a good relationship with him, he is trully a veteran that has been in the hobby practically since the start and has a enormous collection. He also likes to share his skills in painting and kitbashing, but he never plays, he says that is not a good loser so prefers not to play at all. The ancient and mightiest of all our community.
Sprue layout isn't actually computer generated. Darren Latham confirmed in an interview that it is all human design that they consider int he miniature design process.
So sprue space efficiency skills got so good folks thinks they're computer generated and thus have a less "human" feel to them versus the older(less space efficient) ones. There's something either philosophical or psychological going on here
Well, they are probably using a CAD program to make the mould. I bet it is in CAD that the sprue is made, with the bits imported from a 3D sculpting program. So they most likely run a simulation on how the plastic flows and make the sprue after those results. I guess when he says human made, he meant it like that, dont think there is an automated program to do that for them.
Jay you are mistaken in one point: the sculpts you painted are not 3rd Edition. They are leftovers from 2nd Edition repacked for 3rd. The actual 3rd edition plastic marines were the first multiposeable Tactical Space Marines. I am from the time of 3rd hutting the world. With the first edition that came with a stand alone core rulebook. Also the instructions of Battleforces. I ended playing as the Tau were teased for 40k. Rumors had it that 40k introduced the mercenary system that Fantasy had.
@@danepatterson8107 Difficult question for me. I started end of second, played some years third, paused for RL reasons, came back end of 8th, or more precise had one game before Corona-Hysteria, and here we are now. 9th is waiting for learning. But the similarities with 3rd and the more streamlined gameplay is pretty appealing to me.
I remember when those multi-pose Tac-Marines came out! I bought a set and that was where my love of conversion and kitbashing started. I specifically remember a White Dwarf article that went over some options you could try to make things look unique. Oh the good old days when GW actually loved player creativity!
@@andrewmarrington5654 I didnt knew Rouge Trader had plastic miniatures at all. But after that, the tactical Marines introduced in 3rd were the first multiposeable ones I came across. Before you had the starter box in plastic and the blister ones in metal to do the job.
I work in automotive manufacturing and can tell you 1) yes, a computer algorithm 'nests' the parts into the sprue based on known dimensions, 2) they conduct flow analysis to ensure every part is filled every time and doesn't mar or warp the part due to variances in cooling and 3) this saves them a huge amount of time and money in reduced scrap, waste and higher customer satisfaction. They have also been making injection molded plastics for a few decades and have gotten pretty good at it by now.
I remember 40k being extremely popular in the early 2000s (in the UK at least). Official and unofficial shops in most towns, all running clubs where you could go and build models and play games. Very cool model job btw! The cat litter and cork was a nice touch
These exact space marine sculpts were my very first models I ever bought and painted over 20 years ago. They were cast in grey plastic though and came in a Start Painting box. I believe one had a missile launcher as well. Good memories...
BUT they were really cheap at the time. It was like...I think £8 for a full set of ten tactical marines (this is back when GW did a box of 20 skeletons for like a fiver). The only other option were the all metal kits which were, for the time, fairly expensive.
I am not sure about going through an airbrush but Formula P3 is super smooth for standard painting. Their line of paints are naturally thin so it might be really good for airbrushing. Menoth White or Menoth White Highlight might be a good option!
When you started gushing about sprues i was like wtf? But you opened my eyes to something i never would think two seconds about. Thats a like in my book :)
use ushabti bone and throw in the bottle (or what ever gw calls it) a few drops of tamiya acrylic paint retarder. works wonders and makes very nice smooth offwhite-ish bone colour
Man the amount of B roll shots in just the getting ready to paint at the desk montage was awesome. There’s so much work that goes into these videos and I really appreciate it and you
Gosh I remember these coming home from Gamesworkshop with my Nan and Grandad. I've not played Warhammer in decades (aside from the video games ofc) and would kill to have these talents to paint. Brought back a lot of memories and (IMO) have more personality with the proportions than the newer ones
9:00 i love to use that paint with a very dry brush to highlight almost everything that isn't metallic, givin it a dusty sensation or using it as a base for another dry brush
Space Marine Assault was released in 1994 and is one of two Starter's Boxes for Second Edition 40k, which was released in 1993. Third Edition 40k was released in 1998. :)
I’m not sure how well it shoots through an airbrush, but I love GWs pallid Wytch Flesh for my white cream color. It applies nicely and reads as white on the table.
Loved this video, they look fantastic! This is such a weird comment, but I’ve always been super anxious about applying decals but you’re always so enthusiastic about them that it makes me want to try applying more!
This was my first ever 40k box that I got from Borders book store back in maybe 2005? I painted the marines as ultramarines, then lamenters, then ultramarines, then my custom chapter...years before I found out about thinning your paints or stripping.
Army Painter Mummy Robes is the cream color I use. The paints a bit thick, but it isn't chunky like yours appears to be and can be thinned down as needed.
Hey! Very nice video! And I still have 70 oldschool 3-6 ed. Black Templar Marines with about 20 Primaris added to their force ^^ Love how You make the Shoulder Pad creamy colour!
Love the way you paint your templars. My painting is in the earlier stages of both experience and paint collection but I've been trying to paint templars recently. I've been trying to make my shoulder pads similar to yours for a while (even tried to freehand a templar shoulder insignia on one...gonna buy some decals). I really like how you did the guns red on this video, I'm gonna try that next.
As someone who actually lives and grew up in Nottingham, I have to take this opportunity to point out that you Americans always hilariously over pronounce the 'ham' in any British place name. I'm sure you think you're saying it correctly, but us Brits do all have a bit of a giggle every time we hear it. We're arseholes like that. It's not Notting-HAM. We say it more like NOTTING-um. If we're trying to sound posh we might enunciate the 'ham' a little better, but we would never put the emphasis on it like you do. By the way, those models were already 10 years old in 2003, having been replaced by a (far superior) multipart kit in 1998 when 3rd edition was released. However those models hold so much nostalgia for anyone who played 2E and will always be a classic. I've never seen that box before, but I assume they were trying to sell off the last few of them or something! The genestealers were the ones from the original space hulk.
Sayyyyy what?? I've never heard such love and appreciation for a sprue. Huge respect for that level of love for the humanity displayed in these earlier sets.
Vallejo Model Air range has two paints labeled as "White," 71.001 is neutral white, but 71.270 is a nice creamy warm white. When I'm painting warm white it's this color that I work towards as the final tint, and only use neutral white for the uppermost highlights.
18:35 top right corner with rockerlauncher 18:38 2 marines upp from bottom and 2 in from left 18:42 far top right with bolter thats the 3 diffrent once i could find so pretty solid
BTW thanks for the painting tutorial for the black templars, i personally collect black templars and i never had a paint scheme for them, i would use layers of blue, but then they never felt like black templars, and i never found a cool paint scheme on the internet, but thanks to you're tutorial i found a cool way to paint them (i will use different colors to make them my own but i will use your help with it) thanks again.
Man, I remember when the Armageddon campaign boom came out in third edition, I was immediately intrigued by the Salamanders and Black Templars. Over 20 years later, I’ve completed my Salamanders, and with the 9e BT codex supp on the horizon, I think it’s finally time to start Black Templars, and if they look anything like yours, it’ll be awesome.
Jay, you may want to check some equivalent to AK 3rd gen for that bone white, such as warm grey, or smth like that. They dont clog and apply nicely with a brush.
Blast from the past here lol. Used to have some of those exact minis, painted in the same colour scheme too! I never saw anyone else collect Black Templars during my time doing 40k, real nice to see.
I know this video is just about two years old, but I found that Vallejo's bone white works really well over a mid to light grey base - I do that before an off white when painting white. Also make sure you shake it thoroughly - an agitator ball helps with that.
My recommendation for a replacement for Vallejo Bonewhite - Tamiya XF-57 Buff. Thin it in the bottle with Tamiya X-20A thinner and it air-brushes like a dream. You can still brush it on, it covers well, I've never needed more than two coats, it dries quickly with a completely matt finish. I use Tamiya for all my base coats these days, I keep Vallejo for glazing, blending and dry-brushing.
Every video is better than previous one, great job guys! Also killer job on those oldies. I started with primaris and sadly can't see myself getting firstborn other than for parts and kitbashing purposes. Ah my heart aches for terminators, would love to see them rescaled.
Vallejo model color 70.918 IVORY has been one of my favorite paints for years out of a collection of 500+ paints. Especially with a brush it gives me awesome 1 coat covarage where a lot of similar colors I have fail. I'm on my 3rd bottle and, so It's my most used paint after Various black and metal paints ( excluding washes/enamels, etc... that get used even more).
I don't know about it going through an air brush but 21378E "Vanilla Ice Cream" from Apple Barrel's Acrylic Paint line provides ok to great coverage and is a off white substitute I use. Also it's like $1 a tube. Thanks for the video. I enjoy your content.
The press fit models were honestly they best, being able to play right out of the box after getting some at the end of school and playing your friend half an hour later
My Bonewhite is fine. I use a brush, but thinned with medium or water, it works fine. Not grainy, etc as whites can be. Try again, maybe? Also look into Model Air Sand or Game Air Bonewhite.
When I produced those plastic miniatures for GW, the colour used was mostly mid grey, mixed in with the polymer with some lubricating agent to make them pop off the tooling mould easily. The exceptions were the plastic skeleton kits they used to produce, which was a flesh coloured master batch, can't recall its exact name right now, but we never used pinks or purples, though I left GW around 1995. Those genestealer sprues have been around since the 1st space hulk release, I had them around 1988 while I was still in school, which is weird because I am clearly not that old... 😆
Haven't bought that white thankfully now lol but army painter mummy robes is great, might need a little thinner of a coat then the bone white but I'm not sure. Is one of the army painter paints too that is usually good to go without much shaking
I like doing my black dark grey as well. I tend to go for corvus black undercoat (I don't own an airbrush yet) similarly I do light grey for white as well. I also collect Black Templar, but going to start a White Scars army soon as well. It will be great to get the practice in doing pseudo white and black armour.
I realise this is a late response, but my friend suggested to me to use Vallejo Pale Grey Blue. Not quite so creamy, but a cold white that he applied over a black primer in one single coat with great coverage.
You could try to splatter paint with paintbrush and a toothpick on the shoulders. Creates a nice random dots/chips/dirt. Instead of the old foam stuff. If u do it with oils you can even remove some if u like. You can then follow up with a small highlight under to make the pop. A little more work but u seem to like to work thouse pads 👍 You could try Vallejos Pale Sand to see if it its better. Its a little more creamy but works great for me in the AB. And lastly, u impressed with the resualt. Very nicely done. Thanks
I don’t have old sculptures persay but I do have a army of crimson fist army from when I was in high school some of which I would love to re-paint after doing the stripped paint thing and whatever but I’m using some of them now to experiment with new paint schemes for my custom chapter before putting the paint on my primes which is working out well and I’m glad I’ve kept them and I’m even reviving some into my army as extra units to potentially use while firstborns are still able to be used.

Bro I LOVE your Black Templars. Their color scheme is absolutely sick.
As someone who actually lives and grew up in Nottingham, I have to take this opportunity to point out that you Americans always hilariously over pronounce the 'ham' in any British place name. I'm sure you think you're saying it correctly, but us Brits do all have a bit of a giggle every time we hear it. We're arseholes like that.
It's not Notting-HAM. We say it more like NOTTING-um. If we're trying to sound posh we might enunciate the 'ham' a little better, but we would never put the emphasis on it like you do.
By the way, those models were already 10 years old in 2003, having been replaced by a (far superior) multipart kit in 1998 when 3rd edition was released. However those models hold so much nostalgia for anyone who played 2E and will always be a classic. I've never seen that box before, but I assume they were trying to sell off the last few of them or something! The genestealers were the ones from the original space hulk.
Meh. Ham is delicious.
You should EMBRACE the HAM.
gotcha so it's more notting-PORK not notting HAM
We folks across the pond eat way too much pork so the emphasis on the last syllable is probably cholesterol-based LOL
And according to Connor from the Trash Taste podcast, Brits like to complain about everything as well😁.
Can you confirm or deny?
@@AluminiumRabbit I'm English and can confirm this.
Sayyyyy what?? I've never heard such love and appreciation for a sprue. Huge respect for that level of love for the humanity displayed in these earlier sets.
Oh man. Oh oh oh oh oh my. Love for the lore too, for that wonderfully worded Emperor "quote". Dude you earned a sub based solely on your personality.
18:07 ngl those kitbashed space marines are pretty dope
Vallejo Model Air range has two paints labeled as "White," 71.001 is neutral white, but 71.270 is a nice creamy warm white. When I'm painting warm white it's this color that I work towards as the final tint, and only use neutral white for the uppermost highlights.
Painting black templars chapter is like ASMR for me
Ahh
I wish game workshop come to my country
I love a classic & wholesome painting vid!

thats the 3 diffrent once i could find so pretty solid
BTW thanks for the painting tutorial for the black templars, i personally collect black templars and i never had a paint scheme for them, i would use layers of blue, but then they never felt like black templars, and i never found a cool paint scheme on the internet, but thanks to you're tutorial i found a cool way to paint them (i will use different colors to make them my own but i will use your help with it) thanks again.
Man, I remember when the Armageddon campaign boom came out in third edition, I was immediately intrigued by the Salamanders and Black Templars. Over 20 years later, I’ve completed my Salamanders, and with the 9e BT codex supp on the horizon, I think it’s finally time to start Black Templars, and if they look anything like yours, it’ll be awesome.
For my white paints I use Vallejo model air white, it's specifically designed, as far as I know, for airbrushes and when applied it looks really good.
Enjoying that different intro and music to it.
Those look great! I also love your unique style for Black Templar...definitely an improvement.
Jay, you may want to check some equivalent to AK 3rd gen for that bone white, such as warm grey, or smth like that. They dont clog and apply nicely with a brush.
I love mixing in old models in. Makes the army look so cool. Yours looks sweet.
Sure they can! I believe in my brothers' skill to change the odds in their favor!
Blast from the past here lol. Used to have some of those exact minis, painted in the same colour scheme too! I never saw anyone else collect Black Templars during my time doing 40k, real nice to see.
I like the GW way of doing bone: Zandri dust, seraphim sepia, ushabti bone, screaming skull.
3:30 That quote actually got adapted into the song "Legion" by Galaxy Aflame
Just starting black Templars going for an (almost) all Primaris army, what great timing!
I know this video is just about two years old, but I found that Vallejo's bone white works really well over a mid to light grey base - I do that before an off white when painting white. Also make sure you shake it thoroughly - an agitator ball helps with that.
My recommendation for a replacement for Vallejo Bonewhite - Tamiya XF-57 Buff. Thin it in the bottle with Tamiya X-20A thinner and it air-brushes like a dream. You can still brush it on, it covers well, I've never needed more than two coats, it dries quickly with a completely matt finish.
I use Tamiya for all my base coats these days, I keep Vallejo for glazing, blending and dry-brushing.
I should try that, everything Tamiya I've bought has been good.
I went to a construction sight with a coffee can, and a spoon.
Yes a spoon.
13:14 uh… that’s not the $1.98 Reynolds parchment paper wet pallet from your last video. : P
I often have many wet pallets going at the same time;)
Every video is better than previous one, great job guys!
Also killer job on those oldies.
I started with primaris and sadly can't see myself getting firstborn other than for parts and kitbashing purposes.
Ah my heart aches for terminators, would love to see them rescaled.
and we will never stop improving!!! I also hope the terminator sees a primaris revival
Hey good news!
Vallejo model color 70.918 IVORY has been one of my favorite paints for years out of a collection of 500+ paints. Especially with a brush it gives me awesome 1 coat covarage where a lot of similar colors I have fail. I'm on my 3rd bottle and, so It's my most used paint after Various black and metal paints ( excluding washes/enamels, etc... that get used even more).
I know I'm a year late buuuut Titan Buff from Golden acrylics is a FANTASTIC off-white color for me!
Love the vids Jay!
The Army Painter Banshee Brown is a good creamy colour and goes through the airbrush well.
I don't know about it going through an air brush but 21378E "Vanilla Ice Cream" from Apple Barrel's Acrylic Paint line provides ok to great coverage and is a off white substitute I use. Also it's like $1 a tube. Thanks for the video. I enjoy your content.
Love the intro 💕
"Painted models perfoms better" I remember that quote !
The press fit models were honestly they best, being able to play right out of the box after getting some at the end of school and playing your friend half an hour later
great video also a big fan of taking the old and new and putting it all together into one army.
These models look great! The new models are better but that doesn't make the old ones bad! And the paint job and bases are great!
My classic SM that I bought over 20 year's ago were not in blue plastic. They were grey, with black slotted bases.
I have pre 94 Space Marines and currently working on stripping the old paint as well as making them into classic Crimson Fists.
My Bonewhite is fine. I use a brush, but thinned with medium or water, it works fine. Not grainy, etc as whites can be. Try again, maybe? Also look into Model Air Sand or Game Air Bonewhite.
Biolante!
Great to see that one of my favorite warhammer channels also likes a kaiju from the greatest movie series!
When I produced those plastic miniatures for GW, the colour used was mostly mid grey, mixed in with the polymer with some lubricating agent to make them pop off the tooling mould easily. The exceptions were the plastic skeleton kits they used to produce, which was a flesh coloured master batch, can't recall its exact name right now, but we never used pinks or purples, though I left GW around 1995.
Those genestealer sprues have been around since the 1st space hulk release, I had them around 1988 while I was still in school, which is weird because I am clearly not that old... 😆
I was ready to scrap some old minis. Thanks blood helping me change my mind.
Jay, ProAcryl Olive Flesh or Ivory might be the cream paint you need. Airbrushes like a dream.
Haven't bought that white thankfully now lol but army painter mummy robes is great, might need a little thinner of a coat then the bone white but I'm not sure. Is one of the army painter paints too that is usually good to go without much shaking
I like doing my black dark grey as well. I tend to go for corvus black undercoat (I don't own an airbrush yet) similarly I do light grey for white as well. I also collect Black Templar, but going to start a White Scars army soon as well. It will be great to get the practice in doing pseudo white and black armour.
A tip for the eyes: do what you do and then paint fluorescent orange by Vallejo over the entire eye! It does wonders for mimicking glowing eyes.
"A time capsule" that's how i did my orks. Your templar would look amazing with them
In all honesty I do believe the Emperor did say that about the Space Marines
I realise this is a late response, but my friend suggested to me to use Vallejo Pale Grey Blue. Not quite so creamy, but a cold white that he applied over a black primer in one single coat with great coverage.
This actually really helped me paint my blood angels death company
You could try to splatter paint with paintbrush and a toothpick on the shoulders. Creates a nice random dots/chips/dirt. Instead of the old foam stuff. If u do it with oils you can even remove some if u like.
You can then follow up with a small highlight under to make the pop. A little more work but u seem to like to work thouse pads 👍
You could try Vallejos Pale Sand to see if it its better. Its a little more creamy but works great for me in the AB.
And lastly, u impressed with the resualt. Very nicely done.
Thanks
I don’t have old sculptures persay but I do have a army of crimson fist army from when I was in high school some of which I would love to re-paint after doing the stripped paint thing and whatever but I’m using some of them now to experiment with new paint schemes for my custom chapter before putting the paint on my primes which is working out well and I’m glad I’ve kept them and I’m even reviving some into my army as extra units to potentially use while firstborns are still able to be used.
Holy Crap!! I never saw this rulebook. 4:13 That is me 2nd from the right in the black shirt! That's right, I am one of the nerds.
Love this. Might have to do the same for my crimson fists
Try Pro Acryl Ivory or Olive Flesh from Monument Hobbies. They cover well and play well with the airbrush.
I reckon one of the Menoth P3 paints will sit like that Bone White if that helps?
Love them in the coloured plastic just the way they are.
Field them as Crusader squads and save 15 points on your list!
Black Templars go!
AK Interactive colors go very well through airbrushes, they even have a cream color that color matches Vallejo
