Love it man! I’m already a sub but saw your post on Reddit. I’d love to see how you’d adapt this to black Armour since it’s something that applies to so many chapters and is challenging to make pop. It’s hard to find the right contrast or wash paint that works well over some dry brushing
Haha! Love that! I try to give a vibe of the TV show 'Look Around You' too. Its hilarious if you haven't seen it. It's a spoof of old educational science shows we watched as kids. I think Simon Pegg is a producer
Eyh mate, your videos are awesome ! I have a question, is it mandatory to use a vanish before using the oil paint ? like "If you don't do it, the white spirit while take away the paint" ?
Amazing. My only issue is you lost some real glitter from the saw teeth and gold trim. You could perhaps have brought them back a bit with some drybrushing, if too much you could reweather.
nice vid mate love the grimdark look use it on my blood angels follow a few guys who do grimdark style i use different techniques from u all really improved my models a lot streaking grim is a game changer keep up the good work mate
Hi Tom. I must say your videos on 40K painting are amazing. I’m currently trying to do the paint style of your most recent Ultramarines video and I had a question. For most of these the chest plate is easily accessible but in some models the arms are covering the chests. Would you consider doing a video in your paint style that shows how you overcome that obstacle? For example, I’m trying to do the Sternguard Veteran which is this months free model.
Hi Irby, I'd do the exact same as this video bit I'd keep the models in different pieces. Ie don't attach the arms. When painting the arms you can hold them at the same angle they will be when attached to make sure all the zenithal matches. Then when painted...super glue it together
Great advice. I appreciate it so much. Can't wait to get going on these. lol I sent this as a message on instagram but I figured this was the best contact, sorry for the spam.@@SlayerMiniatures
Very nice... never tought on "cheating" edge highlight with the white drybrush and a lighter tint from ink/contrast/speedpaint.... Next chap IMO to paint: Blood Angels!!!!
Looks amazing, I loved the oil paint bit. The mineral spirits have such a low viscosity that they just wick right in there, such a good idea. As for the next thing to paint, as a Tyranid player, I love to see you do a speed ‘gaunt.
Thanks 😀 I do really like the new gaunts. Maybe I'll do short series of those? I have painted a whole tyranid army too if you didn't see that video. One of my favourite schemes
as someone whos a zealot of oil painting too. Just do the same kinda shit, contrast paints then I recommend for tyranids a brown oil wash, to keep the warmth of their flesh still there. Black is great for all metals and armour i've noticed but for anything fleshy like skin, browns the way to go
I'm personally very tired of seeing oil washes in almost every miniature painting video. I get it, it's trendy and gives quick results, but I'm so so tired of it. ESPECIALLY Streaking Grime. Plus, I don't usually care for the look.
The result was great! But, please educate me for one question. Why didn't you just skip applying streaking grime then apply the black oil paint only. My understand is, the thinned down black oil paint with white spirit will reactivate streaking grime you just applied before. So, the grime will be mixed with black oil paint and the grime color cannot overcome the stronger color of black. Moreover, the grime will be removed by q-tips with black oil paint in the last step also.
Think of it as layers of paint. The grime leaves a layer of brown where I choose to leave it. And is also applied all over. The black oil is aimed at recesses and is removed from panels that I would also remove the grime from. The black oil stage does not remove all the grime. The result is a grime layer, with patches of it left untouched. Then oil over some of that. It's not a wash over everything and remove it all twice.
@@SlayerMiniatures Thank you very much for your kind answer. Just another final question. What if you apply black oil paint first, focus at recess area, then wipe it off from the area you don't want it by q-tip with white spirit before applying streaking grime, then finish the job by q-tip with white spirit again. Will the result be the same?
Thanks :) glad you liked it. Nuln oil is not oil paint and it acts differently. It's a traditional wash paint which will stain the paint it is put on. The oil paint can be applied and then removed if there is too much. You can basically clean the model! Leaving behind what you want. You can't do that with nuln oil wash. It's basically apply and wait. When it's dry you have to neaten any areas you didn't want it with more paint.
I would like to try this for my 30k Sons of Horus, would you recommend anything different since the color scheme is quite different (Sons of Horus Green etc.)
Honestly I don't measure ha! It's about 1 to 1 mix. I just aim for the consistency of milk if it's too thick...more thinner. If it's too thin...more paint
Great video, BUT! After binging all of your excellent content, RUclips now suggests to me all sorts of inferior mini painting channels... Please post more great content when you can! Right now I can't pay a Patreon, but I could give you a *special hug* if it helps?
As someone who is new to the Hobby I’m glad you posted your money on the Reddit for me to come. This will help me finish first set of marines.
Glad you liked it. Enjoy

I've done a black templar video if you haven't seen it yet
@@SlayerMiniatures I’ll look for it now
Saw your post on Reddit. Fantastic, great guide and great results - thank you
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it
Clever stuff, you're an artist. Good use of the words 'glug' and 'plop' I wholeheartedly approve
Thanks Toby
@@SlayerMiniatures try again 🙄
@@haigstortoise tony
try again 😂
@@haigstortoise Alan?
I love the gentle tone of your videos. They remind me of old British tv shows like the clangers. Don’t ask me why but they do!
Haha! Love that! I try to give a vibe of the TV show 'Look Around You' too. Its hilarious if you haven't seen it. It's a spoof of old educational science shows we watched as kids. I think Simon Pegg is a producer
@@SlayerMiniatures haha yes I love look around you
This is amazing, thank you! May I ask.... do you thin the contrast Frostheart before airbrushing? With airbrush thinner or contrast thinner or....?
Hi there. No it's not thinned at all. All contrast is thin enough to go through an airbrush.
Amazing video! Best one yet. Can you do a stormcast eternal without the air brush?
Of course!
@@SlayerMiniatures xereus purple would be cool …. 😂
Eyh mate, your videos are awesome ! I have a question, is it mandatory to use a vanish before using the oil paint ? like "If you don't do it, the white spirit while take away the paint" ?
It's not essential if you are gentle. But from testing ive found it does need the varnish
Love it, Brother! REMEMBER CALTH!
Thanks 😀
These marine tutorials are great!
Would love to see your take on grimdark Flesh Eaters
I plan to do them all at some point
looks good. do white scars next
Good choice!
Amazing. My only issue is you lost some real glitter from the saw teeth and gold trim. You could perhaps have brought them back a bit with some drybrushing, if too much you could reweather.
Yeah good point and good idea
@@SlayerMiniatures you've convinced me to finally try oil lining though !!!!
Gravy. Love the grim dark theme
Have you tried it yet Liam?

@@SlayerMiniatures dunno why on browser I was only able to go back 8mo 😂…. Will surely give a watch and a thumbs up to BA video
Brother can you do The Retributors, Charcharadons , btw whats your favorite chapter ?
I plan to do them all eventually. Grey Knights are probably my favourite
@@SlayerMiniatures awesome , great choice i like ravenguard most, will be waiting on more of your tutorials brother
good job brother...

Thanks :) glad you liked it.

I've done a Dark Angels guide too? That might help?
How many drops of thinner did you use?
Honestly I don't measure ha! It's about 1 to 1 mix. I just aim for the consistency of milk if it's too thick...more thinner. If it's too thin...more paint
