I love it when Duncan intentionally makes a mistake like he isn’t some reincarnation of the Emperor just so he can help people by teaching them how to correct mistakes without feeling bad about them.
The funniest part is that I was looking at that "error" and thinking, "Hey, it actually looks like pretty cool battle damage, like some rocks hit his bike at high speed"
This is really important and something I never see in tutorials, I hope he introduces this as a regular part of his videos. Maybe just one mistake fix-up per or something. Really looking forward to "so, you applied contrast paint a bit wrong..." :D
@@onezerotwo This is why I love Duncan's tutorials so much: he doesn't just tells you "I use this and that paint and this brush." He takes his time to explain and show his techniques. I wouldn't say he makes this look easy, but he makes it look simple. You feel like practice is the only thing keeping you back, rather than technic
I think I finally figured out why I love Duncan's videos, and why I have since his GW days. These videos remind me of my younger days spent watching Art Attack reruns!
I have to say the most beneficial thing I gained from this video is that really really good painters make mistakes as well and pointing out where you made some "additional" mistakes is nice to see. Especially because I constant see people say don't be afraid of mistakes and then in some of their videos you NEVER see them actually make a mistake and fix it.
I love that you show us the mistakes and how to fix them. It can be daunting watching pro's like you paint and try and replicate the result without making any mistakes. This makes it seem much easyer.
Literally just started painting these boys. Just finished my first ‘test’ one. Pleased to see my method is similar to yours. I just add an extra edge of dawnstone before the administratum grey. I especially like the Corvus black for the tyres. Helps break up all the black. Little note: it is possible to paint these in sub assemblies if you cut the feet away from the front of the bike. Then let’s you paint bike separately from the rider.
As someone who is about to start my first miniatures I love how specific in detail you go into. It's something I think is missed by most tutorials, showing the type of brush and those specifics is so helpful
Hello, I am an 18-year-old high school student who started RUclips last year. I started posting videos on RUclips last year and joined Warhammer five years ago with your RUclips videos. I started painting after watching your video, and now I'm uploading the video to RUclips. I wouldn't have been able to start RUclips without your video.Thank you! I look forward to the work you will be working on! Thank you for reading my long sentence!
Such a great guide. That subtle weathering with the steel legion drab is excellent. I'm definitely going to use this for my Death Company Intercessors.
Great video! Even when it's not a faction or game I play, it's incredibly encouraging seeing your work. If you're taking requests, I'd love to see a video on doing different skin tones and hair colors.
Loved the video as always, these are just as relaxing as those old Bob Ross paint tutorials but also extremely useful to me as a new miniature painter!!! Quick question, are there any plans to do more Gloomslite Gitz models in the near future? I know you just did one with a grot a bit ago but I would totally pay a subscription fee to see Duncan's take on a Rockgut troggoth or a Badmoon Loonshrine.
Thanks for the guide Duncan! I've been sitting on about 15 Raven wing outriders I bought off a friend. I had no idea what to do with starting. (I was also waiting for the new codex to come out.) I also have some Primaris Marines on bikes. So I was really happy with this coming out when it did.
Loved this! Been following you for a while now trying to paint a DA army (Noob). Now I'm trying to paint the Raven Wing and this has been very helpful! Keep up the good work my friend!
the part at 17:30 where he makes a mistake on purpose had a weird effect of flushing a bunch of anxiety out of me, I can't do the super thin edge highlights like he can and I get a ton of those mistakes and they suck to fix later ... this was really helpful and I appreciate it. funnily enough, Duncan, do you think you could screw up on purpose a bit more in future and show us how to fix the mistake? I don't think you know how useful that would be to a lot of your viewers! :)
I really love painting miniatures (and assembling them). Now i am creating a homebrew warband called the paladins of the soul dragon. Unfortunately for me i have uni exams and they are a pain in the ass so i must wait untill the next month. But if everything goes well then i will resume working on my warband and i will try to 3d print some parts to make my space marines even more unique. I will paint them in a metalic purple color and i cant wait for the exam period to be over. I have to admit that i dont like the uni i am at and i dont like the subject i am studying (physics) but i decided to stick till the end and this hobby is a great way for me to relax and stay somewhat positive. It really helps with stress i must say.
Great video, now thw trinity of Dark Angels colours is finished. Now for some Chaos, some Thosuand Sons or a Lord of Change would be nice. And of course some more Infinity minis and Marvel Crisis Protocol. Or some Arcworlde stuff.
I like the eye lense technique. you get the dark shading around the edges and the brighter portion of the lense with just two paints. Probably pretty easy to replicate with contrast medium and other colors as well.
What are your thoughts about some Blood Bowl tutorials? I'm actually a little scared to try the coins of the Gouged Eye and Elfheim Eagles. Not just because of the color schemes and blending, but also the fact that they would be used and touched just as much as the players. Would spray varnish be the answer for all pieces for Blood Bowl? Thank you if you get this, and wish me luck on the painting stage!
Please please please, do an in-depth tutorial on varnishing. I find it super important for intermediate/ advanced painters. I'm struggling right now with a mainly metallic theme for my sister's of battle. I'm trying to find the best method for making the Metallic armor not be dulled down by varnishes, and its tough to find the best method. Varnishes destroy metallic finish and shine. There is so little information on the internet. I guarantee it will be a popular video.
So glad this one has been done, been collecting Dark Angels for a long time, and only just moving onto Ravenwing's now...also would it be possible to do a video or offer advice on fixing the following issue, i put the wrong squad number transfer on my Dark Angels, is there a way to fix this without having to file it down and start again? makes it worse that the number sits on top of an emblem transfer as well
Thanks for another great painting tutorial. I see that you use a lot of Army Painter brushes, do you feel they keep their tip better than the Citadel brushes you used when working for Games Workshop? Or is it just a matter of treating the brushes right?
Just treat them right, take care of them and they'll last you a long time 😊 You may still get a bit of a duff one but save it for another job like first base coat or adding PVA glue to your base etc.
If you're intimidated by edge highlighting because you're a guy with shaky hands like me, there's always the option of using color pencils. They can get rubbed off easily if you make a mistake, then seal it all in with a matte varnish spray after.
I dunno if you take requests for ideas on your next painting videos, but I would like to ask if you could possibly do a video of how to paint up a Crimson Fists Primaris Lieutenant in Reiver Armor and painting his "hero base," please? I know it's a very random request (that particular action model I fell in love with and want to paint one or several up lol), I believe if there was a step by step video by you, I think I will gain the confidence needed to finally start up the Crimson Fists chapter army I've been dreaming of doing for a long time. Also thank you for all your painting tips throughout the years, Duncan. I honestly don't think I'd ever get interested in the miniature hobby without your videos. And shout out to Roger for brilliantly handling the camera so that ALL angles can be shown and the showcasing of the miniatures look like they belong in a museum! 😊
Hi BlueDemonica. We sure do have video in mind for painting the Crimson Fists and we hope to get on it soon. It may be on the Academy website as we are currently adding to all the other SM Chapters on there. Also, thank you for the kind words. We are glad we could do our small part to help 😊
@@DuncanRhodesDRPA Thank you for the response! I will have to check out your guys' site and hopefully you post it to RUclips as well. Gonna look forward to it!
With all these fantastic tutorials, has anyone wondered what Duncan does with those miniatures? Like does he strip them back and repaint them to a scheme he uses or does he just collect a small force in that army/scheme?
This may sound silly, but I thought you don't use your dry brush for basecoating because of the bristles. Does that mean you can use any brush for any technique as long as you keep the brush dry for dry brushing and the like?
So, for those tyres it's a basecoat of Mechanicus standard grey, a coat of Corvus black and a first drybrush with Stormvermin fur, followed by a final drybrush with Steel Legion drab. Did i get that right? I really need to paint several tyres soon and i'm not happy how they do look right now.
Hey Duncan I see that you are using different paints for highlights (the same color but brighter) I am wondering if I can get the same effect by mixing the primary base color with a little white to get a brighter tone for the highlights? or does it look better when using a different paint?
Duncan, is there any particular reason why you still recommend Corax White in your videos? It's quite notorious for how difficult it is to work with, I thought you only stuck to it because of your employment with GW, kinda surprised you're still using it. Personally I find Vallejo's whites much better - or even GW's newer white colors that aren't Corax White.
I love it when Duncan intentionally makes a mistake like he isn’t some reincarnation of the Emperor just so he can help people by teaching them how to correct mistakes without feeling bad about them.
The funniest part is that I was looking at that "error" and thinking, "Hey, it actually looks like pretty cool battle damage, like some rocks hit his bike at high speed"
And he really had to visibly contort himself to make that mistake in the first place. Reincarnation of the Emperor, indeed.
This is exactly why I'm not mad that I subscribed to his Academy and mistakenly forgot to unsubscribe when I was done with the one tutorial
This is really important and something I never see in tutorials, I hope he introduces this as a regular part of his videos. Maybe just one mistake fix-up per or something.
Really looking forward to "so, you applied contrast paint a bit wrong..." :D

Blessed is the mind two thin for doubt
I love that Ravenwing aesthetic. Dark Angels got all the best looks.
And this one's painted just right.
Dark Vengeance was my introduction to the Grim Darkness of the 42nd Millenium. Never looked back since.
I think I finally figured out why I love Duncan's videos, and why I have since his GW days. These videos remind me of my younger days spent watching Art Attack reruns!

Thanks BigBossFatMoss 😊
@@DuncanRhodesDRPA hi
I agree. It's like he knows.
I'm so using this as a guide for my chaplain on bike, so we'll timed.
Awesome. Hope it helps 😊
Great vid Duncan, I can feel the daunting task of highlighting black just by looking at it.
I was wondering how to paint black armor for my Hammers of Dorn and you come with this master tutorial
Literally just started painting these boys. Just finished my first ‘test’ one. Pleased to see my method is similar to yours. I just add an extra edge of dawnstone before the administratum grey.
I especially like the Corvus black for the tyres. Helps break up all the black.
Little note: it is possible to paint these in sub assemblies if you cut the feet away from the front of the bike. Then let’s you paint bike separately from the rider.
Matt Black and Matt White are a good couple of lads. Always there to help.

Hmm ... great! Duncan is the best in my opinion. Had a great time watching. ... left to finish painting my spacewolves.
Great advice, Ive been holding off painting some black miniatures on a bike. So this was the perfect tutorial
Just bought 29 space marine models today.. needed this video.. perfect timing!!
And that concludes the Ravenwing Biker/Outrider. Cheers Duncan.
Duncan's palette: very small quantity of paint in one tiny corner
My palette: "JUST KILL ME PLEASE"

Awwwwhhh baby, my boys and duncan are having a date and It's awesome.
The bike and rider look fantastic! The painting is nice and subtle and the weathering really brings it all together. Thanks for sharing this.
Starting my second ever painting session, just here to fill my shattered confidence with smooth advices from the Paintemperor himself
I love all your tutorials! Cheers
Thank you! Cheers!
I hope Duncan does a deathwing miniatures.
Awesome tutorials. Really got me into painting
Awesome, I just finished assembling some outriders for a friend of mine and now Master Duncan already has me covered for the scheme! Thanks
This is great I was getting ready to paint some death company over the weekend
Such a great guide. That subtle weathering with the steel legion drab is excellent. I'm definitely going to use this for my Death Company Intercessors.
Awesome that you showed what to do when you make a mistake with the highlighting. I love to see how to 'recover' my ruining of my minis
This is perfect timing with the new dark angels combat patrol coming out
Was waiting for this, your greenwing and deathwing recipes worked fantastic for me!
Glad you liked them! We hope this one helps you too 😊
@@DuncanRhodesDRPA I can't find the deathwing or greening videos
I just started painting and these tutorials help so much! I could watch these videos for hours
Thank you so much! Arriving in few minis to my Space Marine side of indomitus box set. I really have doubts how to do the black armor
This video will have you covered for sure. Just follow the techniques and you'll get a result you are really proud of 😊
Great video! Even when it's not a faction or game I play, it's incredibly encouraging seeing your work.
If you're taking requests, I'd love to see a video on doing different skin tones and hair colors.
4:48 HE SAID THE LINE! :D

Great video and loving the "shade" presented front & center.
#TWO
Perfect for my needs and also well above the professionalism you see anywhere else. Well done Duncan...might have to check out the Deathwing tutorial!
Thanks Martin. The Deathwing tut is on our website if your interested
Another fantastic tutorial! I had to go out for some additional paints, but it's so cold outside, that to keep warm, I had to put on...
I’m going to used these same tips for my Raven guard outriders thanks 🙏
Oh cool I needed to see how Mechanicus Standard spray looked! My Tau use that for their armor
Never thought of that method for eye-lenses! Definitely implementing that on my new first legion fellas! Thank you! :)
dude for real, completely blew my mind
Lord Duncan is in cahoots with the fallen!
🤣

Are they conversions?
This is like ASMR for the eyes
Duncan is a genius.
Ay and I was just about to start a deathwatch army (close enough in color) so this came in real clutch Duncan!
Loved this! Been following you for a while now trying to paint a DA army (Noob). Now I'm trying to paint the Raven Wing and this has been very helpful! Keep up the good work my friend!
You must have probed my brain somehow cause this is exactly what i need right now!
Just in time for my birthday. Awesome stuff as always Duncan!
Happy birthday! Have a great birthday Mario 🎈🎉🎁

This man is so unbelievably wholesome.
Amazing tutorial Duncan, as always
17:24 his “splodge” still manages to look better than most of my edge highlighting
Brilliant video, would be nice to see how you apply transfers to a curved surface
Great as always, please show how to paint the bases too
making it look effortless.
The new successors, Bringers of Judgement, looks like a job for Sir Duncan.

Hey Duncan, any chance we could get some insight into painting the new Space Wolves models, or even making the Indomitus models look more Viking?
Would love to see you do some Khorne. BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!
16:00 such a flex!
May I ask; are you undercoating with a spray can or airbrush?
This will be useful for my Death Company!
Awesome video as always!
Using this for my Black Templars. Much appreciated
Anytime 😊
My good sir Duncan, what is your top 3 favourite brushes?
Thanks for another great painting tutorial. I see that you use a lot of Army Painter brushes, do you feel they keep their tip better than the Citadel brushes you used when working for Games Workshop? Or is it just a matter of treating the brushes right?

Ah my glorious fighting First. Yessss
Quick question: how did you get the join between the two halves of the bike so smooth? File or greet stuff?
Humongous Ego now that is a good question
saw of the pins and glue the parts

would eshin grey be a good replacement for tire highlighting?
Even his intentionally failed edge highlights look better than my serious attempts.

He has, dawn riders i think it was called
Ah, yes, thanks! :)
When will you teach or advise on Eavy Metal painting?
