First video I've seen of anyone using the Black Templar contrast paint. What I really liked is to hear how much you enjoyed painting. That's the point of the hobby and the results are so much better because of it.
Thank you so much. Yes I do enjoy painting especially my way. quick and easy to get loads of models done fast. Happy you enjoyed the video and hope you will subscribe to see the future videos.
This is a really great and easy to follow scheme the way you have presented the video and explained your reasoning, I look forward to trying it !
Thank you so much for that comment. Means allot. Hope you tag me when you try it. Would love to see the results.
This has just helped me so much repainting my old Chapline in Terminator armour! Thank you for sharing this
Glad I could help! Cheers for the comment
Just wanted to say thanks for providing such an easy to follow scheme for Black Templars. I've recently gotten back into the hobby after a 20 year hiatus and jumped back in with Templars. I painted up my Sword Brethren Castellan using most of your scheme and I'm well pleased with how it turned out. You've got a like and subscribe from me!
Aw I love hearing that! Templars are always a great choice! Glad to see you back in the hobby, and ask any questions you have, a lot has changed in the last 20 years, mostly improvements in paint!
Very, very nice indeed! I might use this as a starting point for my upcoming Deathwatch army ... Thanks a lot for showing!
Glad you liked it and will give it a go.
just getting into black templars and watching your vid was definitely inspiring! Many thanks dude and keep it up!!
Really happy they helped pal.
Amazing, will definitely use for my black armours.
Awesome
You sir, are a fantastic person ❤️. The BT tutorials are amazing.
Ha thank you so much. Really glad you like them.
Love this, great scheme im going to try!
That’s amazing. Hope you tag me so I can see.
I love this! I've always struggled when painitng black armour and I've yet to play around with any contrast paints. Definitley a must for any upcoming projects. Thanks Andy! :D
Thanks pal.
Honestly the best video on black templars I've ever seen.
That very high praise. Thank you so much.
Fantastic. I spent alot of hours edge highlighting my deathwatch. I'll be using this to paint my templars. By far the best fast black tutorial
Thanks so much man, very kind of you to say that!
This is fantastic. I’m new to Warhammer and I’ve watched a few how to videos; this is by far the easiest and most easily to follow. Thank you.
Aw that’s so good to hear! Be aware with this video that the nuln oil is the old recipe so the ones on sale now are thinner and less black if that makes sense? Please ask any and all questions, love seeing new people join the hobby!
Amazing work I love your approach to painting
Thanks man.
Just got the box too, will be great to follow along cheers for these
Super happy to hear. Glad you like the videos.
you my friend have earned my subscribtion
Thanks man. Appreciate that.
I’ve tried a few recipes but this is my favourite one. I had a go on a test model and it looks fantastic. Thank you.
I’m so happy to hear that pal.
Brilliant, only found this channel yesterday and beating the rest hands down, cant wait to try this with my Dark Angels!
So glad to hear that pal. Make sure you tag me with your dark angels. I’d love to see them.
The ushabti bone is great and thanks for explaining it needs two coats to work
No worries at all. Glad you found it helpful.
Very nice guide. Going to try this on the Bayard's Revenge model. Thank you.
Solid choice. Glad you liked it.
Really nice paint job. I freaking love contrast paints.
Thanks so much!
So glad to have found this video
Great to hear that, glad you enjoyed it!
Very cool tutorial and the armor looks awesome 👍. Liked and subscribed.
Amazing to hear man.
Thank you for this tutorial because I'm new to the Black templar another video that teaches me a lot 🙏🙏🙏
No worries pal. Glad it helped. I have a whole playlist on all the new templars so maybe there is more in there that can help you.
@@MediocreHobbies yes I just saw it's really nice !!! you made me appreciate the contrast and give good advice Thank you very much 🙏🙏🙏
This is goood, i will do mine the same, easy to paint, perfect for troops. Thanks for that! Characters will get more love.
thats great to hear, abd and yes perfect for getting all the troops done and more time and effort into the characters would be my plan also.
Yeah, but i will not move too far from your method, for the characters. Thats a perfect base... Totaly excited, project starts, when mail arrives :D
@@n8schatten01 glad to hear. Now let’s hope the postman gets to you quick so you can get started.
Good job. Keep at it, you are having nice growth.Perhaps showcase your full collection and top 10 best paintjobs etc.
Great idea.
And thank you so much.
Looks great.
Cheers pal.
I really liked this tutorial. I actually use a similar method on my own black power armoured minis. Prime black, then hit from above with grey. Dry brush the edges with a slightly lighter grey, then drown the armour in a wash I mixed up using airbrush thinner and Army Painter dark tone. I find it flows better than neat Nuln Oil, but it does often take two coats.
You have a new subscriber :)
Thank you so much pal. I like the sound of yours as well I just give that a try.
This was the most important painting video for me, so far. I also always had the problem that dry brushing made my miniatures to agree, although using wash afterwards. Additionally, though I do like the look of the H highlighted models, I am not good at it, nor do I have the time to apply this for the majority of my miniatures. So, your video is an absolute game changer for me. I just started off a raven guard. Army and I thought that black armor is easier than the rest. In fact, I realized that black army is much harder than other colors. But using the contrast method will speed up my process with decent results significantly. Although I will be using gray seer as a primer and not a metallic color. Thank you again.
I’m so happy to read this comment pal. Made my day.
This is a big help. Thank you.
I’m delighted your finding them helpful.
Nice video, I hadn't thought of approaching the white in the same way as the robes. It would be cool to see a video on brush maintenence because mine never look as nice as the ones in the tutorials lol
Your brushes or your white parts. And ye I read an article years ago about your secondary colours being set up in a triangle on your miniature. And is so evident here with the cream.
Tried this on one of my Deathwatch, loving it so far. Didn't have any leadbelcher spray so I drybrushed it on instead, seemed to work well enough.
Yeah it’s just way quicker with a spray but it works the same! Glad you liked the result!
Great video - in looking for inspiration for, how to get started on My templars
Glad you liked it, they’re a great army to paint, and I’ve lots of tutorials for them on the channel!
Your channel name is misleading :) Absolute top notch paint job here 👏
Thank you so much pal means Allot. Hope you subbed.
Excellent work.
Thanks pal. Glad you liked it.
I loved how this turned out!
Thanks so much, glad you like it!
stealing this! that looks GREAT. im gonna white dot red wash n ardcoat his eyes, port the gun barrel n maybe add a few other hacks but THIS is an epic quick solution imo!
Awesome, always adjust tutorials to suit yourself but glad to have helped!
GREAT method! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much! Glad you like it!
I took parts of your technique, and Duncan's technique, and combined them into something I love ... thanks. Your's inspired me to break out my Black Templar Contrast and try using it again :)@@MediocreHobbies
looks fucking amazing ,great techniques :)
Cheers pal.
Really nice guide, great results from some speedy and easily picked up techniques, especially liked the weathering effect on the boots, so simple but makes a big difference!
Liked how the cloth turned out too, I've been trying to do some Ebon Chalice Sisters but been struggling to get the white how I want it, always ends up either too stark or looking too "painted", haven't tried putting wash underneath the layers yet tho so thats next.. thanks for the tip!
Really glad you liked the video And found a few useful tips and tricks. And thanks for taking the time to comment.
Just the barrel to drill ... and perfect :)
I don’t drill barrels lol. Never will.
thanks man im brand new to the hobby and like most i got a little in over my head lol. this is going to help me so much on getting this done in time for my brothers visits this Christmas. I really want to have them done so i can play some games with them.
That’s ace man. Glad to hear I could help. And delighted to hear your getting into the hobby. Hope your games are great over the holidays.
@@MediocreHobbies thanks glad to be apart of the grim dark community. yeah hopefully ill have these bad boys painted up and get some good games in.
Never would've thought to dry brush metallic paint over non metallics, I was going to do skavenblight dinge and eshen grey over abaddon black but this looks legit, even that Black Templar contrast paint came out smooth (I'm slowly starting to use contrast paints, as I am also kinda skeptical of them). Currently have 10 Assault Intercessors waiting to be painted as Black Templars, might try this method on some of them to see which I like more.
Glad to hear pal. Ye the mistake people keep having with contrast is thinking you can just slap it on. Using contrast is a skill like any other painting technique. It takes practice. Thanks for watching pal.
skavenblight and eshen would be nice. they are greys with a touch of brown to them. I always use them when something is be a bit more dirty.
as soon as you layed down metallic armour i was sceptical. but my god this works wayyy more than it should!.
Haha not the first time I’ve heard that! Glad you liked it!
Helpful thanks!
Glad you liked it.
Thank you, edge highlighting makes me want to stop the whole hobby :-D
Same lol.
Facts it's impossible
Edge highlighting is completely unnecessary.
Great video, looking forward to trying this on my Templars. I’ve been practicing constantly on edge highlighting and it just isn’t working for me, so I’m keen to see if this gives me a black result I can build around.
That’s ace dude. Really hope it helps and you get a result your happy with.
Before contrast I did my Black Templars very similar method it was prime Vallejo black primer, dry brush whole miniature leadbelcher apply two coats of nuln oil and I Matt varnished at then end .
I bet that still looks ace.
Amazing!
Thanks so much for taking the time to comment!
I have a Black Templar army that I've been building up over the last year, I've never painted anything to a serious degree before, and I've been super nervous about it! For whatever reason this whole video has been incredibly easy to follow along with and the result looks so simple, yet so good! I may try to put my own spin on it and make my own little subfaction of Black Templars and paint their tabbards red instead!
Sounds fantastic pal. I hope you do jump in and get some models done.
@MediocreHobbies I've got a ton put together already, and way more left to go! I can honestly start whenever I like! I've got the next three days off, I may stop at my LGS and get those paints you used along with some brushes! I have a rattlecan of Vallejo black primer that I picked up awhile back. Do you think that'd work well to prime my minis?
@@Dr._Nope Awesome, love to hear you're motivated and get to ready on them! Remember it's only paint, and you can fix mistakes and even start over so there's nothing to be nervous about! I always use two coats of primer, a coat of black and then for Black Templars I also use GW Leadbelcher but you can easily just brush on a base coat if you don't want to spend the money on a rattle can of silver. The Vallejo black will work great!
@MediocreHobbies That sounds like a plan to me! I like the sound of that! I may pick up some painter's tape and do a white/red bi-color design with black cross transfer over the top for the shoulder pads of my marines and on my vehicles as well! I really love that design! I was thinking about it for awhile cause those are the colors of the Maltese flag and that's a familial thing for me that I always wanted to put a spin on. That's what got me into Black Templars and 40K in the first place, it was cause I'm Maltese, it immediately gave me that personal relationship with the faction! The idea of further tieing those two worlds together always seemed really neat to me. When I saw you use that same white/red with black cross design that I had imagined while working on your recent Cerastus Knight Lancer video, you really cemented that idea for me! It looked spectacular, I loved the contrast that gave off! And the fact that you used something as simple as painter's tape to create that dividing line nailed in that eureka moment for me! I'm kinda just nerding out here and going on a huge tangent, but I'm really happy I found your videos! It helped me realize that I can actually do this, that painting can actually be easy and fun, and I can put my own my own spin to it without getting in over my head too quickly! So thank you for that!!!
@@Dr._Nope that was hobby tape i used, I can't guarantee painters tape will work the same, just be careful of that bit! Nerd out all you like, love hearing people getting over their fear and getting excited to try something after watching one of my videos, makes it worth it! Please let me know if you have any questions, and let me know how you get on as well, would love to see results!
I used a similar technique on some world eaters. Primed them with retributor armor and painted with blood angel red contrast paint. Looking good so far. Still testing highlights and shades.
Nice man. I’d love to see Ken when your finished. Please tag me if you post them anywhere.
Will do.
Looks awesome, thank you for the great video. How would you fix mistakes on the black armor while painting other parts e.g. the tabard?
That’s a really good question. When I make a mistake like that I get a clean brush dip it in water and wipe away the mistake on the armour. Do it quick and there should be no mark left.
Might be a stupid question but how do you correct mistakes on the black armour? For example if you get some zandri dust on it.
It’s easier in my opinion to just wet your brush and wash off the zandri dust then trying to fix the black. But if you get it on the black and don’t notice before it dries you can just silver and reapply the Templar. It won’t match exactly but if it’s a small but nobody will notice. Especially if it’s an army project.
@@MediocreHobbies thank you so much! I'll definitely do a tester on the weekend
Just ordered my first Black Templar set and have been researching lots of videos on “easy/fast” ways to paint them, yours has come out on top! Look forward to giving it a go. I do have one query, though; could I miss out the light spray of Leadbelcher to achieve an even darker end result, do you think with the following steps of dry brushing I’d still get a similar look… just more black?
@@ser_holyfire hmmmm I’m not sure. Like black contrast over black undercoat will do very little to the model. We’re looking to get that depth of colour.
@@MediocreHobbies Yeah, that’s a fair point! Perhaps the video just makes them look slightly lighter than they actually are. I trust your wisdom. I’ll give your way a go when it comes to it, see how it looks. Cheers! 😎👍
@@ser_holyfire cheers pal. Can’t wait to see them.
Very interesting technique. I think this is the first video I've seen someone start at silver, then down to black. Everyone else goes grey or blue grey. I'm curious to try this now for some deathwatch.
Awesome pal. Half your gonna give it a try.
I love how clean that armour looks! I'm going to try this and see if hopefully I can get the same kind of results. Just a couple questions. Do you prime completely in black then go over again with leadbelcher spray or dry brush leadbelcher? And I love what you did with the shoulder pads never thought of doing it like that! Did you completely go over the zandri dust with ushabti bone on them?
All over chaos black and then a light spray of leadbelcher. On the shoulder pads yes I went over all the zandri. On the tabard no I left the recesses dark. Really happy you liked the video.
@@MediocreHobbies thank you dude! Really appreciate the reply. Are you planning on painting the emperors champion? I'd really love to see how you would go about painting the black sword!
@@brandongoulding637 I will probably do a short on just the sword. As the rest of the model would be covered on this video. Sub so you don’t miss it.
@@MediocreHobbies awesome! Can't wait to see it. Keep up the good work. It's inspired me to improve and build on my own black templar force!
I've been trying to think about how to differentiate between Black Templars and Deathwatch, I think I'll use this silver undercoating with Deathwatch since they have the silver arm already, and go for a blue drybrush undercoat for BT to give it a different feel. Thanks for the guide!
Sounds great man, that would be a great way to change things up between them! Glad you liked the video!
Awesome guide, definitely gonna try this out! Any tips on how to fix painting mistakes on the power armor? I always have trouble covering stains if i use a contrast paint since it doesn’t cover up the stain aswell as regular paint
If i make a mistake I wet by brush and wash the mistake off quickly before it dries. Saves having to do any fixing.
Amazing man, thank you so much
You’re very welcome, glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching!
Just about to start getting a templar army ready for 10th! Have you tried the black legion paint over leadbeltcher?
Black legion is so solid it doesn’t give you much of a contrast. It’s like using black paint if you k so what I mean.
This is wonderful! Do you think doing a sort of zenithal drybrushing of a slightly brighter metallic paint like runefang steel or stormhost silver after the leadbelcher drybrush over BT would help make characters pop more?
That’s a stellar idea. If you give it try please tag me I’d love to see. Glad you liked the video. Hope you subbed for more videos.
Man, this is fantastic! I’ve been sifting through tons of tutorials to find the proper bone-like color for BT shoulder pads. Just starting in the hobby, this is invaluable.
Quick question - any tips how to paint the Aquila in bone too? Such that it won’t overlap with the shoulder pads?
Thanks!
Just go for it do it the same as the pads it will
Look ace. Glad you liked the video. Hope you subbed for more.
New to the hobby here. Been looking for video guides to paint my Templars and yours definitely is one of the best for tabletop standard.
I got a question about the priming you used here. You say "a light dusting of leadbelcher", but it looks more like an full coat to me. If so, what's the significance of priming it with black first and not just use silver? Also, did you use spray or an airbrush?
The black is important. Other wise the silver is to bright and you would need a much heavier coat of silver to get full coverage. Glad you liked the video
Legend!
Thanks pal
Could you do the dreadnought from the set in the same way? I'd would love to see how that would turn our!
That is indeed one of my next few videos.
I’ve bought an Army Set and a BT Combat Patrol, to start a BT army - will be my first time building and painting - seen so many videos but I love the look and the “simplicity” of your methods. Just two questions: when you do the leadbelcher spray ( airbrushing right ? ) you just apply a thin coat evenly or you do a zenithal with it ?
Btw, I say “simplicity” because almost every single “speed painting” video I see of BT, envolves hours of edge highlighting and yours, seems…. Well, trully “approachable” but I love the final look ! Eager to start due to your video !
That’s exactly the aim with this channel-make things simple to do while still getting a great result!
With the primer-I do a solid coat of Chaos Black first and then another spray of Leadbelcher(you can airbrush or hand brush it on but if you’re doing a army of these guys it’s worth just getting the rattle can to save time and sanity!) It’s just a regular spray of Leadbelcher all over- metallic sprays don’t adhere as well to plain plastic so you need the black undercoat. Hope that helps and good luck with your Black Templars! Always ask more questions if you need to!
Love this color scheme especially the parchment color on the shoulders, i will be using this for my own army. could you advise about the leadbelcher base coat, is this an all-over coat or is it a zenethal highlight? thanks.
Thanks so much! It’s an all over cost! The black coat of primer helps the leadbelcher coat stick better which is why I use both colours! You can brush in leadbelcher if you want but if you’re doing an whole army it is worth paying the extra bit for the metallic spray!
@@MediocreHobbies thanks for the reply 👍
What is the benefit to the black undercoat before the leadbelcher? Would you get similar results just using leadbelcher?
the leadbelcher is a zenith so the under part would be grey plastic. it also would be very bright without the black as well. that make sence?
I'm not happy with most of black schemes, because they mostly have long and painful blue highlights to do (and with blue it doesn't feel really black anymore) and your scheme kinda reassemble some "grimdark" black armor that I saw and I like it
I might use them for my fallen/30k Dark angels and see if it goes well on them !
Glad to hear pal. I also cannot stand doing the blue highlights on blue highlights scheme. It drives me crazy.
Wow this guy is anything but mediocre looks awesome! I haven't got any leadbelcher spray so could I dry brush it over instead?
Ye a heavy enough drybrush should do the job. Just mite not be as smooth black. But by the end of the the paint job you shouldn’t notice.
@@MediocreHobbies awesome thanks buddy 😁
Hello man and thank you for this video as well as the rest of the serie.
As I see you’re still active around here, I just wanted to say that as a beginner who just bought his first combat patrol, you inspired me a lot !
I’ve been ordering the few paint that I’m missing as well as the silver spray and can’t wait to try this out :)
One question because I saw several videos complaining about the new shade nuln oil saying the effect is not as good anymore. Did you have a chance to try it ?
Best regards
We’re live right now on RUclips if you want to join our stream! So glad the videos helped so much! 😊 the new shade is weaker than the old version! The old formula was used for these videos so try to test it out somewhere to see the difference in the effect before applying it all over your models! Really appreciate the kind comment 😊
Hello good sire and thank you for the tip, unfortunately I saw this comment too late for coming in live, but the bell is now enable for next time 😉.
Well I guess I’ll give it a try myself to see if result is similar, anyway I don’t think there is so much choice for this texture.
Thanks again for taking the time to answer noobs like me 🙏.
Ill be painting up my first army soon, and this was very helpful for the cloth section coloring especially. Do you think the led belcher would work well with green over it? It gave your black a nice metallic look, Im not sure if Im better off with more of a white for my zenithal layer.
It should look pretty good make sure you test it first.
I just saw this video!! An omg!!😮 I love it. I have to ask though. Does this trick work well for big vehicles 😊
There is a video on a dreadnought and tank in the playlist.
@@MediocreHobbies thanks 🙏 I’ll check it! I’ll look forward to watching them!
I cant wait to try this, how do you touchup if you make mistakes though?
I try to work in an order with paint colours that means it’s easier to fix mistakes as I go. It’s only paint though, so you can just paint over mistakes! Just be more careful working near pale colours as it’s harder to hide-you’ll need more layers of a pale paint to hide any mistakes from dark colours!
Love the scheme, how would you go about replicating this on a tank? Would the contrast airbrush to achieve the same effect?
I have a video in the playlist on a tank and a dreadnought. So that should help.
Awesome tutorial, and easy to follow! I am now painting the tabards/pauldrons of my first BT, however I have used Wraithbone as I dont have Zandri Dust.
Do you think this will also work with Nuln oil? Or should I then use a wash like agrax earthshade? Then I was thinking maybe do the highlight layer with another paint over of Wraithbone instead of Ushabti bone.
Update: Wraithbone (thinned) and a mixture of Nuln + Agrax then another Agrax works great. Thanks for posting this, I am actually having fun painting these guys c:
I’d still use black. It Should look great.
@@MediocreHobbies Thank you 😊
Yes my man. Im going to use this for my Raven Guard. Any suggestions on how to do the white chest eagle? I'm lso after suggestions for a gun colour thats not black templar
Give my Hersey video a watch where I paint a raven guard. Let me know after that if f you have any other questions.
Hello ! Congratz for the tutorial is AMAZING. This scheme " this black contrast " Will work even on larger areas ? Like veichle, i have fear that on Rhino the black contrast will came out disomogeneus.. :'(
Thank you. There is another video in the same playlist where I paint up a redemptor dreadnought. Check it out and let me know when you think?
Are you watering down any of these paints before application, particularly the contrast? Or are you applying straight from the bottle?
From the bottle.
Wow awesome! I’m going to use these colors on my Tomb kings for Old World. A Black/Gold Aztec look.
Use contrast black for the rim, mate. you'll get a much smoother look.
Never thought about that. Great idea. Thanks.
@@MediocreHobbies yeah mate, it's one of the best blacks for it. otherwise it's a case of adding flow improver/lahmian to your black so it glides better.
Contrast is already lubed up though, so you should be good to go.
Hey Andy, completely off topic but how would you paint Carcharodons? Do you have a guide at all I know it’s an obscure chapter but any advice would be welcome thank you
I haven’t thought about that before. I mite do a video on them at some point but it won’t be any time soon. Sorry pal.
I don't paint templars but this could work...really bloody well in fact for my Deathwatch though....thank you for this video, definitely got a subscriber for this
Yes this scheme could definitely work for them too! Glad you enjoyed and good luck with your Deathwatch!
Great scheme. I have completed one so far and found it easy and effective. I had a little trouble layering the ushabti bone over the zandri after washing. Any advice? I tried very watery but still came out a little clunky. Thanks!
If it’s still clunky after being thinned it mite be a bad paint. Glad you like there scheme.
I trust the process my guy love this model you did but so you think you can achieve similar results if I didnt use the contrast and used a black dry brush done lightly what I did is
Black primer, than I dry brushed lead Belcher looking for recommendations at this point to achieve this I have a lot of base and layer paint
now I'm stuck I really don't want to buy the contrast line till I use all I currently have would love to hear from you
I appreciate you reaching out. But this technique requires the contrast or similar paint. Using a normal paint over the leadbelcher won’t show any of the metallic through so would be a normal black scheme. Does this make sense?
Have you tried this approach on any vehicles or dreadnoughts? I like this scheme, but i am curious how it will work on all of those big flat panels.
I have! Check my black Templar playlist!
Would you use similar black armour technique for tanks and dreadnoughts?
ruclips.net/video/7iyB6uxPICQ/видео.html
Yep. Link below to a dread I did.
Don't know if they discontinued bloodreaver flesh, but I can't seem to find it on citadel. What would you recommend as an alternative? Good tutorial btw it's approachable for someone who's painting their first army
Still on the sight for me pal. I think you just missed it.
@@MediocreHobbies I had to dig a little and it only shows up on the UK website. I'll have to find another way to get it. I appreciate the quick reply!
Will this work okay with the new reformulated nuln oil? Also what are your thoughts on using the new black legion contrast over black templar contrast?
The new black contrast is very very dark. It’s a good black but I wouldn’t use it for this tutorial. As for new nuln oil it should Work just fine.
How do you fix any mistakes you make with the base paints getting on the armor? I feel like contrast paint is so hard to correct.
You can go back over with black templar if you and add weathering if need to fix any mistakes.
would there be much of a difference if you airbrushed the black contrast over the silver?
I’m not honestly sure I haven’t tried it with an airbrush. If you do please to me how it goes.
Which varnish would you recommend afterwards ?
I tried this and used stormshield and ardcoat on 2 models and it gave it such a different finish that I did not quite like :(
I don’t varnish at all it’s really not needed.
First great video and end result. Is it just me though, but after the black contrast is added it looks like a very dark grey (2:26) rather than black. This is exactly the colour I want, mine goes pure dark black. Is this the lighting you’re using? Does it look that light in real life? Are you using a medium too or just contrast out the pot? Anyway as I say great work!!
It looks pretty black it real life and no medium was used. Straight out of the pot. Glad you enjoyed the video.
>how to speed paint
>18 minute video
jk, great tutorial i'm using a lot of these techniques now
Haha yeah it always takes longer to explain than to do :D
Great video. I’m a Templar man myself. My question is about that 2nd prime of leadbelcher. Was it like a zenethol highlight the way you did it?
Yes it was basically a zenith I
But it covers about 90% of the model only leaving the black in the deepest shadows. Does that answer your question?
Yes. Thank you so much. I went yesterday and picked up the paints required for this look. When I seen it I was all in. It looks great!
Love the paintjob!👍 Will wraith- bone spray be something to use instead of leadbelcher since that's the one I have?
It will not look exactly the same. The leadbelcher is to give it the armour look. I’m not sure you would like the result. But there is only one way to find out. Give it a test.
@@MediocreHobbies thanks for the reply! Hmm think I will try your approach then, dont want to risk it😜. Need to get some leadbelcher spray now!
Interesting, how light you applied leadbelcher over the chaos black?
Just enough to get a solid coat. Don’t go crazy.
I don't have leadbelcher spray, would you recommend priming in black then just painting leadbelcher on?
Yes! The metallic sprays are expensive but if you are doing a full army it will save you a lot of time, but leadbelcher brushed on works just as well. Thanks so much for watching!
How much do you thin your paint ? Espacialy the Ushabti Bone when painting shoulders `?
I work from a wet pallet so not very much.
Hi there. I know you airbrushed leadbelcher on for your coat after the primer. Would you be able to get a similar effect if you just gave the model a heavy drybrushing instead?
I didn’t airbrush I just used a spray can. Gamesworkshop sells leadbelcher in a spray can. But you can of course use a heavy drybrush. Hope that helps
Did you spray on some lead belcher on top of the chaos black, please? did you do like a light zenithal or something? I was actually thinking of doing battle damage highlights with silver on mine anyway, so these techniques might be useful to me.
I did indeed spray leadbelcher over the top. It was a light coat but I did try and get all angles.
@@MediocreHobbies thanks.
