  • In this video I walk you through the entire process of painting your first warhammer40k space marine. Using Games Workshops Assault Intercessor + citadel paint kit, I show you how to hit the ground running with this amazing hobby! From priming to washes, base coats to edge highlighting, ive got you covered.
    This is the exact kit I used for my first 40k model. I loved the astartes videos and desperately wanted to recreate the models. Painting minis is an incredible hobby with an even better community. Whether your playing the table top game, reading the lore or painting a miniature.. the entertainment is endless.

    this was actually the best rundown of how to paint i have ever seen. and i have seen alot of those. i really want to get into warhammer miniatures but i feel like an idiot because i have basically negative artistic talent. i would love to see more of these on here.

    • @pepi560
      @pepi560 Před 8 měsíci +5

      I have negative artistic talent and was scared when starting. Dont worry about it and as long as you dont clog the details with paint and paint within the lines, everything you paint will turn out nice

    • @MC-kk8xu
      @MC-kk8xu Před 6 měsíci +9

      Please don't say you have "negative artistic talent" and don't put yourself down. It's practice.
      I started when I was 9 and what I did then as a beginner was perfectly fine, now I've been doing it for over 20 years. I wish that I still had those 10 plastic Moria Goblins I didn't undercoat, didn't water the paint down, didn't get all the details or keep within the lines. They were beautiful pieces of art done by a child.
      Anything you do in the hobby is good enough. If you want to do Warhammer just start somewhere and enjoy yourself. It just takes practice, being happy with making mistakes but most importantly it's about having fun.

    “I started like this” and it’s a genuinely impressive space marine, wild talent on display whenever I see people paint miniatures, I’m always impressed

  • @dahkilla360

    You should do more full-length painting videos! I was watching this after a long day at work, and I thought it was super relaxing to just watch you work.

    MAVERICK! honestly brother thank you!
    I am 27, I bought my first miniatures at 24 and was just so scared to touch them incase I fucked it up...
    My hands aren't the steadiest due to time in the military/cold exposure.
    Anyway, I seen that you went from a beginner to an absolute painting god and it gave me that push I needed.
    It was a genuine "if you can do it, I can do it" moment😅 I watch your shorts on repeat now!
    Keep it up!

    • @liamkefford2574
      @liamkefford2574 Před 10 měsíci

      It's OK to fuck up! Just enjoy the process and learn from what you do!

    • @chiefinasmith
      @chiefinasmith Před 5 měsíci

      Wait a second, can cold exposure cause shaky hands permanently? I was also in the military (infantry stationed in Colorado) so I basically spent the four years there in the cold. I have shaky hands and have always wondered why.

  • @brodieo7690
    @brodieo7690 Před 10 měsíci +14

  • @punishedsneed
    @punishedsneed Před dnem

    I've never painted a Warhammer mini (or any mini), but this video genuinely makes me want to go to my LGS, get a starting kit, and just go for it even if I have no desire to actually play the tabletop. I just like appreciating it from afar.

  • @smokinyou4312
    @smokinyou4312 Před rokem +5

    I was actually looking for a starter set yesterday, didn’t wanna buy a $100 box set. You’re a savior. I wanna get into having physical models, and get into painting. I notoriously don’t like slow tasks, but I feel like some catharsis will do good

    @QUADIV Před 9 měsíci

    Hey Maverick! I just wanted to say thank you for posting this video. I saw this about a year ago and it was this video that helped me ease into the painting side of Warhammer. You did an excellent job of explaining the process of painting a miniature and I came back here as a reminder of where I started. I love your videos and don't ever stop posting!

    Hey, really nice video. I painted my first two Space Marines for my son.
    I'm not into Warhammer, but the painting was fun. I didn't used the Citadel stuff, way to expansiv in my opinion. And I already had modeling color for our WW2 models.
    Most Acrylic paints made by known Modeling Companies will work for Warhammer, even if they don't have the specific shades of red or what else, just mix'em yourself.
    Maybe not 100% similar, but good enough.
    Also those Washes by Citadel. It's just thinned down color will flow improver. Just do it yourself. A bit of black or brown, little bit of thinner or flow improver (or simple soap) and water. Give it a try, super simple.
    Stay healthy, really great looking Figures!
