Fun fact! The large rectangular piece with the view port on it in the middle of the dreadnought is actually a refridgerator that houses all the temperature sensitive lunch supplies like Custodes-Cola and space ham! The view port is there because one lucky marine must sit inside it to guard those most precious supplies while piloting the large robot. Also the hand is there so he can reach stuff on the top shelves of Last Wallmarts
An amazing paint job I’m going to have to give this 100 out of 100 because I never thought about using that paint on the dreadnought I always use ultramarine blue on mine
I’ve read my Kotex religiously, and I must say, all your technical terminology is correct. Only thing I’d point out is, instead of wiping off the oil paint splatters with an ear plunger, you should use the pads supplied with the Kotex. Then, you can run up a beach with your red setter, or a canine pal of your choice. Excellent video. Thank you.
Looks fine to me, and I been playing marines since I was 12. This is the first video I saw from you, and its the commentary that got me to subscribe cuz its not just another warhammer painting video, it was funny.
This is the first video of yours that I have watched and love your funny man attitude 😂 This video also teaches a massive lesson about sometimes less is definitely more!
Really like your style. New to the hobby and painting in general so I love seeing difference techniques and styles. Thanks for sharing your art with us!
Im not a fan of the Smurfy Boys but that blue turned out sexy on your robot! Nice work, and I look forward to trying some of your techniques on my redemptor.
brother I love your high contrast style. not sure I can grit my teeth and do it but it looks great. I lack the confidence to have my mistakes so readily shown!
I am returning back to Warhammer 40k gaming after more than a decade away from the hobby. The best way for me to get back into it, in my honest opinion, is the Warhammer Imperium Magazine. I get an army of necrons and one of ultramarines by the end of the magazine's 80 issues. so... your recent Ultramarine videos have been very inspirational. Back when I was in the hobby, it didn't get more advanced than Prime/Base-Coat/Wash/Drybrush, or the classic Games Workshop 'Eavy Metal method. I am loving the advances in paints and painting techniques, as well as the increased detail in model quality. Thank you for all you are doing Dad. :)
A breath of fresh air.. People at work think I am crazy now as was in fits of giggles the way you say things lol and the pis£taking way lol subbed and will be watching alot more
my experiments with trying OSL have not gone well to say the least but practice makes perfect. I actually picked up the marnius calgar model this weekend because of your videos. I want to try the volumetric highlighting that you do. It makes your models look so awesome. keep the amazing videos coming!!
@@Groundeffected it absolutely is. I used a rattle can to do the volumetric lighting (which wasnt as precise but still works) and then panel-lined/wiped away excess. Once it was good to go i used the contrast paint to hit the high spots and then a darker one for below. i found that i just needed to do a little wet blending between the two to really get the transition but if i, a ham-fisted new painter can pull it off, you can too. just gotta give it a go. side note, contrast paint is super easy to clean off if you're unhappy with the result. it took me two tries to get it right so dont be afraid to mess it up.
You forgot to give your walking fridge a name. :) It goes under the skull eagle. You're the second one I've seen doing the dry brushing the endoskeleton with silver. Most seem to just paint it fully metallic.
dreadnaughts are cool, back in the day they used to be super chunky, they are very aesthetically pleasing i think. the dreadnaught Ancient Rylanor is someone you should read about. short version is that he was an Emperor's Children space marine dreadnaught and when his dad told the Emperor that they weren't friends anymore Rylanor got sad. Then he was abandoned on Istvaan III after the little incident known as the "Istvaan III Atrocity" and then tricked his dad to come there after a few thousand years and decided to blow a nuke in his face. he is a very cool dude.
Would you show how you paint black armor sometime? I like your approach to (relatively) fast and simple painting of clean, eyecatching results, and clean black armor continues to be my weakest link.
Check my community posts. I just posted a dude. Like an idiot I didn’t record it but I will buy one or print one and do one for a video. If that’s what you thinking? That one was stupid easy.
Check out eyeshadow applicators, they are better for removal than cotton swabs, won't leave any fuzzies. Makeup supplies are awesome for miniatures supplies, see you have the sponges and makeup removal pads. Always raiding the dollar store for makeup supplies.
Ever tried cutting in further after your volumetric with a nadir (reverse zenithal) of Paynes grey ink? It should bring even more depth and gradient when you shoot your blues, later.
I don't know anything about 40k, but this looks amazing and you did one hell of a painting job. I hope on the field this thing is as good as it looks xD
To be honest we probably know the same amount of info bar a couple bits I may have head here and there. I just like the models and I like to paint them haha I hope he’s a badass too
But... you didn't use white this time for edge highlight, did you? It's more like blue grey wolf kind of color, isn't it? I also think it looks great that way.
I love your method for this, but just a small change in your order of operations (your process) will help you. Do this next time: Prime > zenethil > airbrush your contrast blue > gloss varnish > apply your transfers > apply your oil wash > clean the oil wash > matte varnish > paint your other details. Again, i'm not trying to tell you how to do your thing here. Its easier to do your decal/oil phase together over a gloss varnish. Viscosity and all that stuff.
He says in the video that he's doing it that way, oil wash then blue rather than blue then black because he wants the dark areas to be dark blue rather than black. It's a similar technique to preshading used by virtually all military modellers.
I love this project. I started one myself,and beginning to build a warhammer army. My question is , how many layers do you spray on the model ,do you thin the paint?
This should work with pretty much any color right? Like for instance a Rhinox Hide base, white volumetric, and then a transparent green for a certain dead boi army hmm
Lol. Yea. I’m just filling space (lol) as at the moment I’m between opening my studio ( I quit my job to go work for myself) I have some huge ideas for some crazy cool prints soon!!
I am going to try and replicate this paint job. It is awesome!! btw if you dont mind my asking, where are you from? Can't place the accent. Please continue to create more videos like this!!
As requested by the painterer and makerer of another Ultra Marines Video, these are the words being left in the suitable word box under the video..... hopefully, they are suitably both wordy and wordery..... Epic vid, man, new to your channel, loved it,although my nan didn't...... but my nans a Minion of Nurgle, so she got thrown out the window instead of the PC! lol!
Hahaha thank you very much for your contribution to the RUclips machine spirit. Hope your nan make a quick recovery so you can throw her burgle butt out the window again just to prove a point ahahaha
When you apply the oil wash and then clean it up, how long do you need it to cure? I read that oil takes a while to cure and if it doesn’t cure fully, paint on top of it/varnish might crack. Cheers, great video!
nearly spit an entire mouthful of water all over my laptop during the intro. Even as a warhammer fun, your constant antagonizaing of the community is hilarious.
Can you just fire those contrast paints through the air brush or do you need to water / thin them down too ? And awesome video the model looks sick dude 👌
You can totally paint them through the air brush without thinning I thin them to make tints but some are a tiny bit thicker than others and they need to be thinned it just depends on the situation and the specific paint.
No. It won’t. I’ll be totally honest there’s a reason for the oils. It’s built different to the washes. Also it’s cheap as heck dude will last ages too
I cant seem to get Talassar blue to end up light like this, always tend to put way too much on and it just goes to a really dark blue. Did you thin yours at all?
you can thin it with water. i didnt thin it much here probably a drop or two just to help flow. the trick is to do another layer of white once you let the first layers dry. it has to be super white
@groundeffected Why did you choose to make your own oil wash this time instead of using the Tamiya black Panel liner? Did you notice a difference? I bought the Tamiya black panel liner to do this affect, but now I am wondering if making the own oil wash is better.
I think they both give a similar effect to be honest. The tamiya one is super convenient as it’s already mixed up doesn’t need to be cleaned out of the tray when done etc. as for the oil wash you can make it as thin or thick as you want so that’s up to you what is better for you. I won’t lie I’ll reach more often for the panel liner than the oils
Bro, thats NOT A ROBOT. Its CLEARLY a guy in the ultimate gaming chair. It has a 8k capable streaming vr ready gaming pc with 2 3090tis, 360 degree 8k screen, 7.1 surround sound speakers, integrated auto feeding system that delivers a nutrient paste directly to his colon, a mountain dew intravenous line, and a toilet integrated directly onto his internal gamer chair. All of this while allowing him to walk around without ever having to stop his gaming sessions
Hahaha but it is easy my dude. The hardest part is getting the right amount of paint on the brush for real. Just master that bit and get the right brush and it’s so easy. Most of the time your fighting the tool for edge highlights I think.
Fun fact!

I like the white highlights. With the volumetric highlighting it gives it an almost gundam quality. Very crisp

Great job on this AT-AT.
He’s my favorite, mostly because he has the extra cupcakes in his backpack.
Really like the blue and hitting the edges with the white.
Yea I do like it too dude. It’s super potent
Words for the white box! Like your take on this unit. About to do one myself and you have sold me on trying the white highlights.
It’s a scary one!! You can start off with a bit of blue at first mixed in and when you see it’s all gonna be ok then bring out the whites!!
Looks fine to me, and I been playing marines since I was 12.
This is the first video I saw from you, and its the commentary that got me to subscribe cuz its not just another warhammer painting video, it was funny.
Thanks dude. That’s what I was going for, hope you enjoyed it
@@Groundeffected Aye, it was.... delightful I think is the word that applies best.
I think that’s the best dreadnought I’ve ever seen. Makes me wish I played a chapter with a matte main color. Amazing
aaaaaaaand you convinced me to do my marines parade ready.... this looks PHENOMENAL good Job!!!
Please.. more of these videos. My god this was helpful. I even picked up that matt medium varnish. Absolute hero
very cool and effective paint job.
That technique with the white gives some impressive results.
Some would say controversial others say it’s sick hahaha
Leavin' some words per instructions because this video was rad. Love this painting style - wash pre-colour looks great!
Yea dude. I love the pre wash. Best thing I ever found for real
Subbed for all of the big backpack and pack lunch goodness.
This is the first video of yours that I have watched and love your funny man attitude 😂
This video also teaches a massive lesson about sometimes less is definitely more!
Thanks and welcome 🙏
here i will leave you some words mate, love the paintjob!
SUPER helpful video brother, using these tips on mine for my blood angels redemptor as we speak!
I really like the bright highlight. 👍🏼
Really like your style. New to the hobby and painting in general so I love seeing difference techniques and styles. Thanks for sharing your art with us!
Thank you for watching my dude. Hope you found some good info
First time I've watched one your videos.
I like the cut of your jib - subscribed!
I love your Chanel it's incredible to watch you paint these modles
Im not a fan of the Smurfy Boys but that blue turned out sexy on your robot! Nice work, and I look forward to trying some of your techniques on my redemptor.
Hope it helps dude

I love how he pokes fun at the Warhammers.
Warhammerers*?
Yea sorry patinho spelled it righter.
Just found you!!! You have taught me a TON!!
1000 thanks! :-)
Killer paint job. That’s sharp!
Thanks for doing your research into the lore. A packed lunch is critical. We can’t expect the space robots to go hungry

Great vid as always! Thanks for making my monday a better day)
Thanks for watching dude.
The "II" on the bobotboi indicates how many pack lunches they are carrying.
Entertaining and educational, great stuff, thanks
Man, you paint style is beautiful!
But, is this possible to do with a common brush ?
I think it might be. I’ll do some tests and make a video about it.

Dad is back with a new Space Robot painting video 😱
great videos! I love the painting style you show in your warhammer videos! simple quick and effective! You earned a new sub, amazing video
Thanks my dude.
Love your channel dude! Your vibe, painting style and skill. Love the content dude!
nice paint job
l am going to try this style on a model from the warmachine line using red.
Great video!
I'd love to see you do a space marine in black armor like Black Templar.
It’s coming!! I just converted a captain to do exactly this video
You forgot to give your walking fridge a name. :) It goes under the skull eagle. You're the second one I've seen doing the dry brushing the endoskeleton with silver. Most seem to just paint it fully metallic.
Lol. I can’t decide between steve and Nigel the 2nd.
@@Groundeffected I'm voting Bob (said like Rowan Atkinson).

Thanks Dad for another amazing video 👍
You make it look so easy,ah sure I'll give it a go😅
Dooo it!
Awesome work as always buddy still boggles my mind how people can paint things this more I’m gonna have to give it a go lol

Great video Dude, love the blue, looks so vibrant, any chance of painting a Space Wolf
Yes. I will soon dude. I got to ration the content until I figure out a good schedule between minis and statues videos.
I know this is an older video but ill ask anyway. How long does the oil wash take to dry? Any answers are appreciated. Great video mate.
I'm leaving words.
Also, sick paint job! I really want to get an airbrush.
Check out eyeshadow applicators, they are better for removal than cotton swabs, won't leave any fuzzies.
Makeup supplies are awesome for miniatures supplies, see you have the sponges and makeup removal pads.
Always raiding the dollar store for makeup supplies.
Yea I do have one but it ruined it so fast so I need that pack of pieces of sponge. I’ll grab one next time I see it in the store.
Ever tried cutting in further after your volumetric with a nadir (reverse zenithal) of Paynes grey ink? It should bring even more depth and gradient when you shoot your blues, later.
I did it on something a while back and you right definitely can refine it even more but for maybe main characters I’d do that.
Would love to see you playing the game of warhammer eventually :D
I don't know anything about 40k, but this looks amazing and you did one hell of a painting job. I hope on the field this thing is as good as it looks xD

Love your videos and insights! Would you be able to do a tutorial for Indomitus Necrons? Would love to hear your taught a on how to best paint them.
I love this so much
But... you didn't use white this time for edge highlight, did you? It's more like blue grey wolf kind of color, isn't it? I also think it looks great that way.
Yea totally did dude. Maybe it’s a bit thinner than usual. Just trying to find the right consistency for consistent lines.
Did you varnish between oil wash and contrast? Gonna try this technique on killteam set tomorrow!
Yea. I just spray a clear lacquer from a spray can. Don’t go too thick or you’ll fill the details. But a light misting just to seal in the ink.
@@Groundeffected perfect, thanks man! love your style

Another great video! Now the oil paint washes; does it take long to dry?
It doesn’t take too long about an hour or so.
think the word you are looking for is "Exo-suit".
and hey, what brand brushes do you use?
I use Windsor and Newton cotman brushes

Can you just fire those contrast paints through the air brush or do you need to water / thin them down too ? And awesome video the model looks sick dude 👌
You need to thin them or they will come out uneven
You can totally paint them through the air brush without thinning I thin them to make tints but some are a tiny bit thicker than others and they need to be thinned it just depends on the situation and the specific paint.
Awesome job! What kind of brush are you using for edge highlighting the white on panels??
Just a cheap Windsor and Newton cotman series size 3
Would you take the same approach when painting red space dudes?
Dope video!!!
Love the way this looks! Would using something like nuln oil do the same thing that the black oil does ?
No. It won’t. I’ll be totally honest there’s a reason for the oils. It’s built different to the washes. Also it’s cheap as heck dude will last ages too
@@Groundeffected appreciate it! Gonna give it a shot then, painting up some imperial knights
These redbutt girlyman loyalists are really making me want to try these techniques with yellow on some imperial fistsers. Amazing content dude.
It’s such a great technique so simple and efficient.
@@Groundeffected yeah and I agree with you about the white edge highlights. It looks sick
Gran said she like the video. She did't understand it but she liked it.
Still an awesome video a year later - just out of interest, what psi are you using when doing the white ink? Do you use any thinner/flow improver?
As high as possible and I use isopropyl for thinning 👀
Like the hat from the last video better
That hat was bad it went in the bin.
I cant seem to get Talassar blue to end up light like this, always tend to put way too much on and it just goes to a really dark blue. Did you thin yours at all?
you can thin it with water. i didnt thin it much here probably a drop or two just to help flow. the trick is to do another layer of white once you let the first layers dry. it has to be super white
I shared this with my Gran, she didn’t like it so I threw _her_ out the window, because I want to watch more videos.
Keep up the good work Dad
Hahaha that’s the best one yet!! Screw the computer throw the gran!!
Question on the oil wash. Is it just for the panel lining effect, and if your removing it with white spirit, does it need to be oil based?
It’s oil based cos it flows better and yes it’s just for the panel lines. You can also leave some for weathering too if you like
@@Groundeffected cheers dude. Really appreciate the reply. Love your stuff.
Just leaving some words in this little square box
What did you use to thin down the blue ink and how much roughly as a ratio?
Nothing. Ink is fluid enough to go through an airbrush neat
@@Groundeffected thanks! I discovered this after mixing in some thinner and making some pudding! Lol.
@groundeffected Why did you choose to make your own oil wash this time instead of using the Tamiya black Panel liner? Did you notice a difference? I bought the Tamiya black panel liner to do this affect, but now I am wondering if making the own oil wash is better.
