- Join me as I unbox the Warhammer 40k starter set for the first time! Get a closer look at the painting terminators squad, infernus squad, and captain in terminator armor in this exciting video.
oh boy, where do I even begin...
I can help you and give you many tips with explanation of why you need to do certain steps etc.
Just please answer to this comment that you would like to hear them because I don't want to be rude or anything. I just learned a lot from my friends that were in the hobby and watched a lot of guides. (I started this hobby 1,5 year ago, still a noobie)
I would love to hear your comments and suggestions as i've just started this hobby, and am really enjoying it as well. Appreciate the support in any way shape or form, also welcome aboard.
@@worksofwonders firsty, I am going to direct you to these channels:
Brushstroke Painting Guides
Ninjon
Trovarion Miniatures
they will teach everything that you need (and far more) than I will ever be able to.
so firstly, you need a hobby knife. It makes the life easier. Mold line remover (the metal blade that you have) is fine for removing mold lines and nothing else. Remove those moldlines, otherwise you are going to gave a visible thine line after painting your minis. It is useful to practically everything in this hobby. You can get rid of mold lines with a hobby knife (I do it). You can easily get rid of the left cut of parts of the sprue. And other more advanced stuff like cutting proxy etc.
select which army you want to collect and if you want to play. IF you want to only collect, you can do whatever. If you want to play than this is a different story. CHOOSE ONLY ONE ARMY to start with. Now you have a few space marines and tyranids. Probably this would be a good idea to either start collecting those OR use these as your introdution to hobbying and focus only on one army. Choose the one that you would like to collect look wise or lore wise. WIth space marines it is also important to check what are the different chapters (their rules vary!!!) You have now the Ultramarines but maybe you would like to collect Imperial Fist?
for gaming rules, don't buy codeces unless you want to read the lore in them. They get outdated so fast that it is not worth it. Wahapedia is a free webpage that has all, up to date rules for Warhammer 40k and more. It has everything that you would ever need to be able to play the game rules wise.
Before you paint any of your models, you need to apply the primer. There are a few reasons to why.
Firstly, it will make the paint stick to thee model much better and make it scrach prove (it will make the paint stick to the model much better).
Secondly, it will cover and make almost unvisible the sweat that you might have left. This is also connected to the first reason but additionally it also helps with the better coverage of the paint to the model.
Thirdly (if this word exists xD), If you prime your models blue, you no longer have to apply the base color of blue (for the example of Ultramarines that you have painted) thus making the process much faster.
Don't get overwhelmed by others and how they paint better than you. This can demotivate everyone but these people have been painting for a long time. Appreciate what you have achived/learned and after a while you will paint beautifully.
THIN YOU PAINTS, this is a classing saying in this hobby. The White on the helmets is the perfect example. They look chubby, which means you have applied too thick paint. I recommed watching as many guides as you can to learn how to properly do it. (Brushstroke Painting Guides helped me the most but for you it can be someone else)
Check how others paint the army scheme that you want to paint. This can very often teach you many hobby tricks or how to use properlly different types of paint or learn new painting techniques. Dry brushing, Contrast paints, shades/washes these are extremly important and useful tools to have. Learn how to use them and your painting skills are going to sky rocket.
And to not overload you too much, there is my discord nichname:
bziebzie
so if you have any questions just write to me
I might join you discord if you have any but I do not promise of sitting on it and reading it. PM I am always reading.
Good Luck on your hobby and keep it going!! There is a lot that I would like to write but it would be way too much for now and you would have an information overload. The best what you can take from this comment is to always look for guides on RUclips or just by asking people on social media for help (there are many wh40k rules and miniature painting once, I recommend joining them and showing off your progress as well as asking for help!)
Thank you so much for taking the time to reach out and help a fellow hobbyist,
About the armies I decided to pick up the packs for Ultra Marines and Tyranids but mainly stick to the UM. The reason why I started this hobby was to branch out more for this channel and myself.
Playing a game of WH40k is low due to the location and time but if there is a chance I'll play i might try it. There may be armies I might be interested in later and maybe just for show or display around my house or shop.
I recently just saw the sprue nubs on my mini's so that is on the list of tidy up parts on the next set of cut offs and i agree with the helmets looking a bit chubby(lol) need to do better with thinning my paints.
Ill take a look at that discord, at the moment my discord channel/user name is different from my RUclips channel name and is a another YT name.
Been in the hobby over 20 years. Great to see you getting into it! One suggestion, would be to use a primer next time. It gives you better coverage when applying base paint and layers and it makes the paint less likely to rub off when handling the minis. Otherwise you’re off to a great start
Great suggestion!
@@worksofwondersyeah, came to say the same, prime them in a single, consistent coat next time, it’ll make the other paint layers adhere much better and adds a level of depth and shade when you apply your colours. For me I do everything in matt black first as it gives all the subsequent coats a shadowed/grimy look that I like. I’d also say consider getting a set of magnifying lenses - again, for me an essential bit of kit as you don’t always realise how small some of these pieces and details are and it’ll help clean up a lot of those lines. But a great start and a good video, best of luck.
Thank you for the suggestions, I will try the black mat primer for some of my other minis I have and look into the magnifying lenses.
Awesome!! I started warhammer 40k 8 years ago, with the ultramarines! I now play BT primarily and collect older models and a large quantityof newer ones, Can't wait for a video on the Tyranids!
Looks amazing, I've never played warhammer and I have no idea how it's even played but I'm incredibly fascinated. Nice channel, keep it up!
Thank you!
warhammer is played like a turn based style with different phases such as
Command Phase
Movement Phase
Shooting Phase
Charge Phase
Fight Phase
with the first basic set the introductory set they give basic way of playing with two people and the later sets give more advanced ways of play and expanding the strategy of your units.
Very cool video to watch, love the detail work. incredible patience and skill required, good work!
I thought I was the only one who painted on sprue
that big box.... for just FUCKING 11 UNITS!?
In total 38 units
space Marines: captain in terminator armor, 5 terminators, 5 infernus marines
Tyranids: 1 Tyranid Prime, 3 Von Ryan's leapers, 1 Pychophage, 20 termagants, 2 ripper swarms
Also all of the rules, it's a pretty good set, I bought my first big starter set 8 years ago, I payed for half and a mate payed for the other, we split the space marines and dark eldar and we shared our rule books as we only played with each other! I now 3d print and certainly enjoy the luxury of printing direct scans for 50c-1 dollar for a model
Very cool I’m also looking into buying the starter set and I got a few questions. What’s in the box I mean like datasheets dice battlefield and that shit and secondly are there colors in the box or did you buy them separately?
In the starter set which is the mid tier option it has 38 models, Data sheets, guide book, dice and a battlefield.
For the colors i had to buy the paint separately for red and a few others but i used the introductory set paints as it came with 5 paints , clippers and a starter brush.
@@worksofwonders thanks a lot
