Really like the style of showing how it's done with both an airbrush and a drybrush side by side. So many people just say "or use a drybrush" and for beginners that isn't in the slightest bit helpful. Looking forward to more videos!
I don't know why, but I feel that Tome Keepers generally have the best Chapter Symbol created by Games Workshop. For this reason, I obtained a couple of decals from the White Dwarf magazine (and some pre-heresy Word Bearers decals for contrast) that I will use for my homebrew Space Marines Chapter. There Primaris, heresy models and old Space Marines will live together!
I planned on making a Tome Keepers video eventually, this months White Dwarf was just the prompt I needed. 😋 I'm glad to hear that you will be painting some too.
I think it's pretty awesome that GW released a transfers sheet with WD. Reading about the Tome Keepers, and I like the idea that each carries a personal book that they pen their own journey until "His Book is Closed." Reminds me of Game of Thrones, "His Watch Has Ended." Myself, I'm compulsive to particular details, so I'm likely to ensure EVERY Tome Keeper would have a little book on their model. lol
@@Lux.500, it's currently included with the White Dwarf out now. Issue 465. Grab it while you can. :) It's a good sheet. I think you can find it custom-made, but without all the extra stuff like Company markings etc. -Chapter Customizer, say. US-based. But see if you can get WD 465. It's pretty much free with the issue. Good luck!
@@Dreamzkape I got the issue cheers I was after the space marines without the helmet like ones in the issue with the sun blaster captin naisem think hes called or are they just standard marines customised then. I'm just going start get back into painting.
I did avery similar scheme for some Stormcast in the past and am planning to do it again for some upcoming Grey Knights. You do it WAY better than I, keep at it!
I can’t believe I’ve never used a citadel pot like a dropper bottle like that before…. it was like discovering you can just press ctrl+C to copy something…. I am shooketh
Very simple, accessible, yet very detailed painting guide . As a new painter, I found this to be quite useful, and as the current White Dwarf issue has a complete sheet of Tome Keepers transfers, I wanted to try painting some of my very first space marines ever (I’ve lasted so long resisting when a valiant effort, but I dig the idea/lore of the TKers, so I couldn’t resist.... ;)
@@RookieBrushes I ask purely for selfish reasons :) I am not happy with my basing efforts. I think it's due to the lack of differing types of texture. No grass and it is all one size of painted sand, but that is only a guess.
@@althesilly Its not selfish, don't worry. In my experience, for everyone that asks, there are five people that stay silent. 😋 Yeah, different basing materials are definitely important. Maybe I can justify a building bases and a painting bases video.
As a (aspiring) flithy Xenos player, I am definitely going to try this out to use on the bony bits of my Tyranids (probably minus one or two of the high-light steps on the horde gribblies...). Amazing video, seems to be exactly the bright shade of bone I needed! Now I just need to figure out a good way to make the carapace black turning to turquoise at the edges to achieve the Necromancer-ish look for my Hive Fleet Hecate...
Very nice. Im looking at doing a few tomekeepers as a bit of variety. I dont have an airbrush....could never get it right with one. Nice guide, quick and clear and not full of the usual guff a lot of youtubers speakto pad it out...thanks.
think I'm going to be using this for my Preheresy death guard scheme. good tip about using an off-white primer to let you do zenithal on a light scheme
Superb tutorial!!! I'm just starting to paint and selfishly would love to see you do a vid like this for any of the orange themed chapters. No one ever does orange.
@@RookieBrushes I was also thinking about doing a more white_bone colour as a base for Deathwing. Maybe wraithbone base, and skeleton horde+contrast medium recess shade. The yellowish or brownish bone colour is less appealing to me.
Rlly great videos, u inspired me to start painting Tomb Keepers!! But could u pls explain how u paint ur purity seal?? I have found it rlly hard to not let them blend with the armor! Oh, and how do u paint ur gold details?? Thx in advance! Keep up the great work!
I think what I'm doing is Heresy, whilst I'm not collecting Primaris (with few exceptions like the Warsuit and Techmarine, say), I'm currently building some MK6 style Tome Keepers. Just love Corvus armour. lol- And I've got so much of it because I'm building a Raptors army. Crazy.
Nice work man. Subbed and looking forward to seeing more. Can I ask where you got the Inceptor head with the full rebreather? All the ones I've seen are flat on the underside to fit the Inceptor bodies.
Did you use Skeleton Bone Primer before applying Ushabti Bone? Did I understand that correct? Your video helps me as beginner a lot - I hope you reply and help me regarding my question!
Yeah, I used the primer first to establish the main colour. The basecoat of Ushabti after is to ensure every nook and cranny is painted and a uniform colour. I hope this helps.
@@RookieBrushes Damn.. That was a quick answer. Thankyou very much - I was a bit confused as the translation from Primer to Ushabti Bone was so quick and I already wondered because Skeleton Bone is way darker than the Mini you painted in the Video!
Message from the future here, Thinking of doing this scheme with Aeldari, do you have any recommendations on the best way it can be implemented for the model range?
Like is said in IG... perfectly executed. thank you for the video. ;) hope to see more of your Tome Keepers in the future. Would love to see a Captain or Chaplain with that scheme. Do you play them in 40k or in Kill Team?
Thanks, you are very kind. The plan is to use these boys in Kill Team, so I will probably limit myself to the data sheets available for that game. There are plenty of options though. 😋
@@RookieBrushes indeed. I´d definitelly like to start with Kill Team some time. But I wait for a new version of this game. Hopefully they make one soon, now that they release so many new versions of the other core games. I find the current version a bit frustrating and confusing for getting into the game... with all the different books (old rulebooks, but since Indomitus - new datasheets and army codices). I´d like to have a easy understandable way to start with that and not to many thinking about the rules and combining the old and new stuff.^^ But I´d rather start with the skyrmish version of Kill Team, than with 40k. I see more advantages in there for me... smaller units, more options, more character in the units, no need to buy lots of stuff to build whole armies, saves money, faster and smaller games etc. I think Kill Team could be the better option for me starting the game, than the big 40k game.
Possibly. Can I ask why? Is there a particular element of this mini that you want to see my approach to? If there is something that people will find useful, I'd love to do another Tome Keeper video.
@@RookieBrushes How the backpack turns out and the space shoulders. Plus if you do plan to do the new video could you show the entire thing not just bits? :)
@@skylinerudy Thanks for the feedback. I'll see what I can do. I definitely need to start showing longer clips of painting and not rush through everything. 😋
Definitely using this method for deathwing Terminators. It looks so good!

Great video and perfect timing with the Tome Keeper transfers released with the latest White Dwarf! I’m going to try out a TK kill team too!

Thanks, man. Having you check out my video means a lot. I've been watching your stuff for years now.
If only whoever names the colours was also in charge of naming lipstick shades…
So glad I found this - planning on painting a LoV army with similar dirty white armour but struggled to find a decent method - this is perfect thanks
Thanks, man. I'm delighted to hear it. I hope it will be of use for you.
Uh thats a sweet guide to a very cool looking scheme. Perfect video and skills.
Thank you. You are too kind.

Great video, it really help me with my Deathwing.
That is great to hear. Thank you.
Really loved the quick and informative nature of the paining guide.
Would love basing painting in the same style.
Thank you. Hmmm... I hadn't considered a basing video. I'll give it some thought.

Finally, a white armour scheme that I love. Great video!
Thanks, man. I'm glad you like it.
Cheers for this. Love the Tome Keepers and also got them as a Kill Team, but yet to paint them. I like the shiny knives on the reivers.
Thanks, man. I'm glad you like them. I followed a short tutorial by JuanHidalgo Miniatures for those blades. Simple and effective.
Jeeze, man. This is really well done considering it's one of two videos on your channel
Thanks, man. That means a lot. I'm glad it came out OK.
Love the colour scheme!
It's great, right? It was love at first site for me, when I saw this chapter.

Very well done and quick and easy explained. Like it a lot!
Thank you very much. I really appreciate it.
Damn man. This is perfect!! I was looking for a guide on this exact color for a homebrew and this is a great guide. So excited to start painting!
I'm delighted to hear it and glad to have helped in some way. Thanks.
That looks sick love the bone armour good job.
Beautiful work sir.
Thank you.
Nicely done!
Cheers.

Phenomenal tutorial!

Great guide - thank you!
Cheers. I'm glad you like it.
Excellent video! I would love to see some Blood Angels love.
Thank you, mate. I'll see what I can do.
Quality video. Thank you for sharing this.
No worries. Thanks for watching!
these look fantastic!
nice work sir !
Thank you.

Thank you. Your request is noted. I'll see what I can do!
@@RookieBrushes Subbed either way, but fingers crossed! Haha
Great job!
Hey man, really enjoyed this tutorial. Subbed to your channel as I look forward to more. Keep doing what your doing 👍
Thanks. I appreciate it.
This works well for Deathwing Termies too
Indeed it would. Probably Howling Banshees too. Makes me wish I was better at optimizing my CZcams titles... 😬
Im thinking about painting my deathwing terminators this way.
That's a great idea. I love introducing a little green into my Tome Keepers, it goes so well with the red and bone.
@@RookieBrushes I was also thinking about doing a more white_bone colour as a base for Deathwing. Maybe wraithbone base, and skeleton horde+contrast medium recess shade.
The yellowish or brownish bone colour is less appealing to me.
Ahh didn’t know you had a CZcams, came here from Instagram 👌
Thanks for taking the time to check it out. I'm pretty new to CZcams, but I hope it came out OK.
@@RookieBrushes yeah you nailed it bro 😎👌

Cheers. In all honesty, I'm not 100% sure. I think it may have been one from Dark Imperium.
Brilliant video thank you.
In your opinion ushabti bone works better than just the wraithbone?
Yeah, I think the Ushabti is very important. It is a fair bit darker than Wraithbone.
Where did you get the helmet on the intercessor at 5:09? Nice rundown of the Tome Keepers, been looking to paint some hellblasters in their colors.
How would you do a Mortifactors marine?
I think that oil pin wash would work great here. Burnt Umber or Burnt Sienna would give nice definition.
That us a very good shout. I'll try that in the future.
Did you use Skeleton Bone Primer before applying Ushabti Bone? Did I understand that correct?

Yeah, you timed your comment just right. Thanks for the feedback, I'll keep this in mind for the future.
Can’t believe you missed the grey padding on the stomach
I can believe it, very easily. ☺️ Thankfully it is hard to see with the arms in place.
I wonder if using oil paint for the lining would be timesaver. Regardless, your results are amazing.
Yeah, should definitely do a comparison soon and see what that looks like. Could save me a tonne of time for larger batches. Thank you very much.
Message from the future here, Thinking of doing this scheme with Aeldari, do you have any recommendations on the best way it can be implemented for the model range?
How do you paint those knife blades!? That is incredible!
Thanks. I followed this guide for the blades. It's wonderful. czcams.com/video/k1awxoPWHPQ/video.html
I applied my ushabti bone base over a wraith bone primer and it looks a lot darker than yours is that solely because of the different primer ?
Brother, you need to tell me where to get that primaris helmet with a breather,I absolutely need that :(
That helmet is from the Inceptors that came in Dark Imperium, I believe. There may be something similar in the Inceptors kit though.
Like is said in IG... perfectly executed. thank you for the video. ;) hope to see more of your Tome Keepers in the future. Would love to see a Captain or Chaplain with that scheme. Do you play them in 40k or in Kill Team?

What colors did you use for the accessories like the pouches and things ?
I did a separate video for the leather, if you were interested: czcams.com/video/qsgTnQacBj0/video.html
@@RookieBrushesawesome thanks !
Do you think Seraphim Sepia shade paint would work well as a substitute for the Skeleton Horde contrast?
You could definitely give it a go, the colour is very similar.
Hey bro I know this is kind of a big ask but will you make a video of a model put completely together with this paint job
Possibly. Can I ask why? Is there a particular element of this mini that you want to see my approach to? If there is something that people will find useful, I'd love to do another Tome Keeper video.
