@@MediocreHobbies gotta ask what do you use for the blue stripes for highlighting them, the averland sunset is great but I can't find a good blue for them to differentiate them from the rest of the thousand sons blue armor.
This is a blast from the past. I remember when I started 40K you gave me lots of advice on painting at the GW store in Dublin and here I am picking it up again and you're still giving me advice.
Nicely done. I like how you emphasised the "easy" not quick. It's an army I wouldn't have been comfortable starting myself as I perceive it to be quite a laborious process, but this video is a great guide for anyone who wants to paint up some 1k Sons, they did nothing wrong after all. Looking forward to the next one.
Love this video. Thousand Sons are one of my 2 armies I wanted to collect, but painting them was seemingly beyond me. This video helps a lot!!! My biggest fear in painting.... white armor... especially the Sisters of Battle Order with the white armor. One day...
Thank you! This was sooo good :) your right it's not fast but it's so much easier. I can definitely see this also helping with brush control with all that trim but this definitely is going to help me get through my Thousand Sons Great video as always Andy :)
Another amazing video. Love watching your painting video especially since you emphasize in your videos how many elements (such as your layering over contrast) is something you like. Something I feel needs to be encouraged more, that you're painting your minis to what you like and to personal preference so much. Love how vibrant that blue came out with your layering by the way. Beautiful on that TS!
hence your Horus Heresy Videos my favorite go-to method for SM is the contrast-wash-layering approach. It is just so effective. Thank you for sharing that and again, awesome video for this TS scheme.
To make it faster, I opted to go with Retributor Armor base and then I tried Talasaar Blue just to see how it came out. It gave a really cool emerald green, so I won't have the classic look, but I'm skipping the trim.
Just come across this video. I painted mine in talassar blue too but over a leadbelcher base coat. Gave a really nice finish. Got the theme from a silver sons warband. Good work on these 👌
Really good video! Ive been looking to statt thousand sons for a while but been slightly put off by how to tackle such intricate models in a fairly reasonable amount of time. Feel like this is a really clear and effective scheme to follow! 😁
@@MediocreHobbies I've actually watched them all already haha I love them! I just can't decide which to start with! I think I'm leaning towards thousand sons first!
Would using Akhelian Green instead of Talassar Blue give the same good look? I would like them to be more ghastly blue instead of just blue. My main fear is this fascinating combination of violet shade. What do you think about Akhelian Green with this shade? What colors to buy?
I mean, after the druchi voilet its looking super! on the table they will look awsome at that step. So the rest steps are kinda optional imo :) awsome job man!
Great, now I want to repaint mine using your method. At least I don't have many to strip and repaint. It really makes me both look forward to and fear the outcome whenever you get around to doing dark angels.
@@MediocreHobbies it's refreshing to have a creator interact so much with their audience. I still use your Death Guard scheme only with a lot more AK grime and rust. You've helped me push past the unenjoayable base coats so I can spend more time in the fun paint phases. I'm eternally grateful!
@@Alex-vf3io I do want I can. As of yet there isn’t a single comment i haven’t replied to. I like chatting to the people who take the time to watch. And I’m glad there helping
Can you do a video where you take the TS model a step further with highlights and all that? I'd love to use this scheme for my TS army, but I always enjoy taking them a step further with like the HQ and character
Any advice for painting the stripes on their headdress? I’m applying the white (instead of yellow) at the end unfortunately (too late to go back and change it since I did the blue). Just wondering how to make those tiny lines?
How to you clean up any mistakes that you did with the gold trim ? I find that cleaning up after a color like gold after with a contrast paint is very difficult since you can't really paint directly over it
Honestly i think even with just the contrast and drybrush it looks very good. Kinda like the oldschool thousand sons scheme back in the day. A dark blue with a brighter yellow. Sadly i've already painted 37 rubrics. What a pain 😄 I went for a battle ready scheme. It doesn't look as good as yours but it's still fine and relatively quick.
Currently trying to figure what army painter colors I need to replicate a thousand sons blue, can’t buy them from the GW cause it’ll feel like the Death Star blowing up my wallet
I know you go with official colors whenever possible to help as many people as possible, but now that the video is done, going with scarlet-ish eye lenses like Ahriman and the Infernal Master's cloaks is my preference for making the eye lenses pop.
I just brought some rubrics to start a warpcoven kill team! I dont have that shade you used but would I get a nice result as this if I used nuln oil before going over it like you have? :)
This seems super simple, want to get some Warpcoven going and I only need to get like 1 paint for this cuz I have all the others (or my preferred equivalent)
I'm in the middle of painting thousand sons and I keep running into issues with the shade paint dulling down the gold a lot. I've been trying to use either drackenhoff nightshade or tyran blue. I've also tried shading and then doing the gold, but then I end up painting over the shade by accident. What would you suggest I do for shading? The violet shade you used in the video seemed to go very well over both the gold and the blue. Maybe shade everything violet and then highlight the gold? IDK, i've just tried a ton of different way and am not 100% happy with any of them.
@@MediocreHobbies I got the purple shade and tried it out and they look great! It's like a perfect in between where it goes over the gold nicely and the blue.
When you have finished your mini are you clear coating it to protect it? If so what do you use? In the past I have clear coated my minis and all my metallic colors have dulled/muted in colors.
I don’t use any varnish, I don’t like how it looks afterwards! I’m just careful when handling them and I don’t have any issues with paint coming off etc
the Thousand Sons are a good example of a miniature I want one of to paint for fun, there are quite a few GW factions I just want one or two models of and not a whole box. Kinda wish they had some sort of kit strange people like me :p
I totally get that! Maybe have a look at character models or the battle box for Christmas? You could ask around for some swaps either from local hobby people!
Love it! i want to follow along and paint most of my army in this scheme and was wondering how you think this would look like on a wardog? probably have to make some changes since theres a lot more metallic but would the blue look good?
Lovely tutorial once again! My weird critisism has to be the end pan shot of the model, I dont think that background suits the spinny panorama of the models 🤔
I think the layering killed it. You had such a wonderful shade of blue with that violet shade. Maybe just use a smaller dry brush and target the more so prominent gold areas with the silver?
honestly should have just stopped here 5:20 and then just painted the eyes green I know tsons are typically lighter blue, but that gold and blue pops out so nicely
It’s a lighter coat of grey seer to help the contrast stick better rather than over a full cost of it. I also use chaos black as a base, then add light and shadow by using a lighter coat of the grey seer!
Don’t know if you will see this but what did you do for the base? Which texture paint is it and which colours did you use for base and dry brush please? Starting a TS army soon and really like how it goes with the mini.
ruclips.net/video/mhFpWp5fsRs/видео.htmlsi=ajU-npxyc5dTjgqQ this was what I did for that model! Would recommend the lunar texture paste from AK Terrain instead of the Astrogranite as it’s way cheaper for a lot more product and it is a perfect dupe. Otherwise the steps are the same!
Great result and great vid ! How long did it approximately take you ? Also do you think priming with retributor armor first would speed up the process significantly?
Looks great. Did you consider using retributer armour as a base as I think you did with your HH TS? Would this technique have made the gold trim phase easier as well as give a vibrant metallic look? Can't wait to see how you go about a noise marine!
What brush do you use for the retributor armor to trim the model? I've tried to use a small layer brush, but it keeps making a mess all over the model.
The black on the gun looks incomplete to me if I'm being honest. I think if you did a small dry brush/stipple with a dark grey would make it pop a lot more. Otherwise great paint job, I'm busy with my own and looking for inspiration
Great job 👍, I love these minis and have a thousand points. But that being said I will never do anymore they just take way to long to get done, to a good standard.🙏😇🇺🇸
Man you make content faster than I can consume it, when do you actually sleep? I know the channel is mainly 40k and AoS videos probably don't do as well but the other day I tripped, fell and accidentally landed on the Gloomspite Gitz page on the GW website and I'd love to see how you'd handle some of them.
Gloomspite gitz are my biggest and favourite AOS army I own. I will for sure be doing some videos for the new book don’t worry. And who need sleep when you have energy drinks lol
the drybrushing part is what infuriates me, either it looks like i put too much paint on or seems like theres fuck all on there. I either get silver paint on thee blue in not the correct way or cant get a happy medium as the other time it looks like theres too little on there to not affect the gold at all
Drybrushing is a skill you need to practice with, you won't get it right straight away. It's always better to work up the colour than apply too much. Just be patient with it and with yourself if you're learning.
@@MediocreHobbies anothr issue im facing is that my gold NEVER seems to look as good as yours, it ALWAYS looks dull as fuck and more akin to an off-shoot yellow even tho I'm using the EXACT same paints

Sorry to head that pal. If your really really unhappy with them you can always strip the paint off and start again. I know it’s not something most people want to do but the option is they’re. I have a video on doing it if you need it.
Thousand Sons! The dustbins! Perhaps the most visually complex model range GW makes. They look breathing though. He ended up looking great. Most Chaos Marines aren't very speed paintable in my experience. All that trim takes time to do.
Out of the 12 armies I’ve painted, TS is THE MOST PAINFUL.
There’s no way of making it easier, it’s a hard slog alright!
It is taking me an infinite amount of time to paint 10 rubric marines. Tzeentch grant me the willpower.

Talasar blue is what i used.

Any advice for painting the stripes on their headdress? I’m applying the white (instead of yellow) at the end unfortunately (too late to go back and change it since I did the blue).
Just wondering how to make those tiny lines?
It’s honestly just patience and a steady hand. Somthing that has to be practiced. But you can always go back and correct mistakes.
How to you clean up any mistakes that you did with the gold trim ?
I find that cleaning up after a color like gold after with a contrast paint is very difficult since you can't really paint directly over it
I find it’s easier to add some water with a clean brush and wipe away the mistake.
what colors would you use for crimson sons?
The red scheme? I did it for my heresy playlist.
I noticed that you didn't paint the gems on them, what color would you suggest? Really love our videos.
I honestly left them black because I couldn’t decide. Maybe red.
Honestly i think even with just the contrast and drybrush it looks very good. Kinda like the oldschool thousand sons scheme back in the day. A dark blue with a brighter yellow. Sadly i've already painted 37 rubrics. What a pain 😄

Can't wait to see how you go about a noise marine!
I did indeed. But decided on a more traditional scheme as I get it would appeal to more people.
This is awesome!! I'm curious how long this model took to paint?
About 2 hours.
What brush do you use for the retributor armor to trim the model? I've tried to use a small layer brush, but it keeps making a mess all over the model.
I'm surprised you didn't use P3's Arcane Blue and Brass Balls.
I use GW paints because everyone knows them but they can easily be swopped for your own preference!
The black on the gun looks incomplete to me if I'm being honest. I think if you did a small dry brush/stipple with a dark grey would make it pop a lot more. Otherwise great paint job, I'm busy with my own and looking for inspiration
That's totally cool, always add/switch things in tutorials to make it suit yourself best!
just wanted to say thank you for the awesome video!!
my only question is, is there a specific reason why you chose Tsons blue over Ahriman blue?
It's just personal preference, you could easily swop in whichever you like best!

@@MediocreHobbies wait you can do that!? I thought once the paint was on its ON......like...forever...
If you want to paint thousand sons you can paint them mate, no reason to lie on the internet ;)
Hahahah you got me
Thousand Sons! The dustbins! Perhaps the most visually complex model range GW makes. They look breathing though. He ended up looking great.
Most Chaos Marines aren't very speed paintable in my experience. All that trim takes time to do.
Agreed there for super a little slower then there loyal cousins.
tyranids!

sorry
