      I did a few tests with various greens before I started this tutorial and the green I felt matched the artwork from the books and codex etc best was the Scale 75 paint.
      For me the colour is richer and cleaner looking. The added bonus of it being super matte I think adds to the Dark Angel aesthetic

      Thanks for watching the video and taking the time to comment.
      Really glad it has put your mind at ease. Painting your first mini can be really daunting, but I promise you it’s actually great fun and there’s no better feeling than finishing painting a mini.
      All I would say, is don’t put yourself under pressure or be hard on yourself if you make mistakes. Just go with it and remember, mistakes are part of learning and there’s nothing which can’t be put right.
      Have fun 👍🏻

    This paint scheme is how I imagine the Dark Angels I plan on building to be like! The only criticism I have with the video is no guide on painting the shield, due to it being a complex piece, but I fell in love with this scheme. The green is perfect for me since it's not dark enough to be almost black but not bright enough to be confused for a Salamander. Like walking through a tightly packed forest with enough light to see in. Love it and great video!

As someone that is returning to the hobby after an absence of well over a decade - and a new Dark Angels fan - would it be possible to provide a selection of paints that are absolutely essential for a similar scheme please? Obviously, the more I paint, the better i will get, but at the moment such a comprehensive selection will not suit my rather modest abilities.
    Thanks again for the video. Subscribed.

      In terms of brushes, I use Artis Opus series S brushes. They are a natural sable hair brush and are lovely to paint with.
      They’re quite expensive but if you use brush soap after each session, they last for years.
      Here’s a link where to get them, hope it helps and I hope you watch more videos on the channel 👍🏻

      Yeah, I've seen a lot of Deathwing versions, and I totally get why. This was the only mini I had which looked Dark Angely so I went with the classic Greenwing scheme because that's what people were requesting a guide on.
      I think the green scheme really suits the mini now it's done, so I'm glad I used it for the video and not just a standard marine.

    • @BrushstrokePaintingGuides
      @BrushstrokePaintingGuides  Před 2 lety

      Thank you
      Main tips really are to twist your brush into a point as you load your paint and then when you are edging just touch the bristles to the model very lightly.
      If they bend at all you’re pressing too hard. You just want to try and glide over the surface barely touching at all.
      That way you get a fine line and it doesn’t disturb your tip

      @@BrushstrokePaintingGuides I'm thinking the problem is all me. I just can't grasp what the proper consistency should be. I've seen people on youtube paint base coats strictly with air brush paints because they're already thinned down and can go directly from the pot on the minny in just a few coats. Then they go in and highlight/edge highlight with regular acrylics. No wet pallets or thinning involved.

    Hey man, sorry if I've missed it but could you describe how you assemble the model once the components are individually painted?

    This is great job. Now, I wonder how you would paint Plague Marines? Just such a loose thought of mine;p. Also, as a side note - Caliban Green is only a 1/3 of a Chapter. While Ravenwing is black, like Black Templars or Raven Guard, painting almost white bone white of Deathwing is probably more, hmm, I shall say Unforgiving. That would be nice, too!

    • @BrushstrokePaintingGuides
      @BrushstrokePaintingGuides  Před rokem +1

      Ooo! now plague marines are very cool and would make for a good video, with all their mutations and goo ;)
      I'll add it to the list for sure.
      In terms of the other two armour colours for Dark Angels, I would probably do the Ravenwing using the black armour recipe I used for my Votann. The matte finish would be badass for them
      czcams.com/video/XXYFAdWli80/video.html
      and for the Deathwing armour, I would use the same recipe I used for the robes in this video and then do the robes the same as the armour from this video. Basically just switching them around.
      Hope that helps :)

    I love the video would it be ok if I used Caliban Green from Citadel as the base coat? I don't have access to shade75 products in my region of Canada. If not what's the closet base color you can suggest from Valejo or citadel. Thank you and I extremely love your work

      Unfortunately citadel don’t really make a green which is the same as the Scale75 paint. It’s not just the colour shade it’s the matte-ness of its tone too.
      I appreciate Canada is a huge place, so sorry if this isn’t of use, but this online store claims to be Canada based and perhaps is of use?

    I don't normally bother posting comments like this, but this video was really impressive. I'm a Dark Angels player so perhaps I'm biased, but here's what you do well in my opinion.
    The intro is cool (and mercifully short).
    The music throughout is really chill, I've got a lot of time for that.
    The unique camera angles make the video more interesting and are subtly really helpful, specifically the close-ups especially when you're painting details.
    Naming all the colours, and the manufacturers.
    The list of paints (AND WHERE TO BUY THEM) is amazing, who else does that? I admire that it's your own bundle on EG's website too, well played!
    The description is really well written, and the video is sectioned off so when I come back I can find the part I need, great stuff.
    All in all, really professional shit man, well done - The model looks great too!
    If I had my way I would make you do a Deathwing and Ravenwing video as well, I appreciate that's a big ask, but hey! Don't ask don't get!
    Keep up the good work, I wish you all the best in the future. Liked, subbed and shared.

    Great guide !! Just done this like for like, however when I do the second round of Black Forest green after the nuln oil, the paint doesn’t seem to blend it goes straight back to its Matt finish? Am I something wrong? Much appreciated👍🏻

    • @BrushstrokePaintingGuides
      @BrushstrokePaintingGuides  Před měsícem

      So it sounds like the nuln oil is drying a bit glossy. This can happen with washes (no matter how hard you shake them)
      When this happens you can either apply a thin coat of matte varnish over the area or what I tend to do is just brush on a thin layer of Lahmian Medium and that is enough to dull the shine and make things blend together easier.
      You can even do this after you’ve added the second coat of the black Forrest green if you hadn’t noticed the nuln oil being slightly glossy.
      The difference is more pronounced when using S75 paints because they are so matte.
      I hope that helps? 👍

    how do you make your brushes pen like? they are so precise no bend yet apply great amounts of paint.

    • @BrushstrokePaintingGuides
      @BrushstrokePaintingGuides  Před 2 lety +1

      Perhaps this would be a good topic for a video?
      The answer though, is a few different things.
      Firstly, you need your brush to be in good condition. That doesn’t mean it has to be expensive but you just need to treat it well and clean it regularly so it continues to hold a point.
      Next the bristles need to be damp before you load your paint.
      If they’re too dry, the paint will lose some moisture to the bristles and won’t flow smoothly. Too wet and the paint will simply drip from the brush. I tend to rinse my brush and then paint the excess water on to my thumb, which leave the bristles ready for paint.
      Finally, when you load your brush with paint you want to give it a little twist as you draw the brush back along the palette. By twisting as you draw the brush back you will cause the bristles to form back into a point ready to paint.
      I hope that helps a bit?

    Nice tutorial. I have several scale 75 paints, but they seem to come out thick. What's your recommended water to paint ratio?

      Thanks for watching
      Yes, Scale75 are more gloopy compared to GW paints.
      There’s no real ratio though, it about getting them moving.
      Give this a watch as it explains what I mean and why it’s not about a ratio
