How to Paint a Blood Angel Intercessor - Space Marine - Warhammer 40K
Vložit
- čas přidán 28. 06. 2024
- For his first miniature in 20 years, Core decides to tackle something that he never painted before. A loyalist Space Marine (He has always been more of a heretic). And what better than a noble Blood Angel Intercessor to warm up his skills and confidence?! In this video, Core will share his experience painting this miniature, the challenges of working with the gear that you have at hand and how much freakin edge highlights you can find on a Space marine armor. You 'll even get some freehand painting for your time.

"I haven't painted in 20 years" proceeds to paint all the Blood Angels chapter, company, and squad markings freehand
Haha, if I had the time, yeah, definitely. 🙃
Extraordinary crispy contrast on that hip-guard.
Thank you! Those panels were screaming for it.
For years I didn't watch anything on YT with normal play speed. And I enjoyed every second of your work. Thanks.
That's extremely nice of you! Glad you enjoyed it. 🖤
Wow! Haven't painted a miniature in 34 years. This is an enjoyable memory moment. Cheers.
Glad we could take you for a trip down memory lane. What were you collecting back then?
@@ArtCoreMinis would have loved an answer from him lol
Maybe we will someday. It is way too easy to miss a notification. 😊
Had to make a video since I don't remember the names of the collections.
m.czcams.com/video/pxDK-rzn6EI/video.html
All I have left unfortunately. Enjoy.
m.czcams.com/video/pxDK-rzn6EI/video.html
Awesome video but you should have given us more of the final result! I felt like it was not enough time to appreciate the good job you did.
Thank you for the valuable feedback. We’ll make sure to make the final reveal longer in future videos.
Really happy you posted to r/minipainting. The production quality is insane for such a small channel, and i really enjoyed your “frictionless” approach.
The end product is also great.
Ah, thank you very much for the kind words. Glad you enjoyed it.
Super qualité de production. J'aime beaucoup la transparence sur les erreurs rencontrées en cours de peinture. Bravo et vivement d'autres vidéos.
Merci beaucoup, c'est super apprécié! Nous sommes là pour partager notre expérience et montrer qu'il est normal de faire des erreurs (et comment les fixer) en fait partie.
That looks amazing👏 well done sir
Thank you kindly. what have you been collecting?
Nice work and thank you for the tip on the free handing !!!
Thank you, freehand painting can be lot of fun once you get comfortable with a few basics.
Love that colour.
Great painting! My first space marines I painted were the metal Grey Hunters box set from 2nd edition. I got them in 1995!
Hey, thank you! Those were great models and a lot more interesting to paint than classic space marines. We have a vintage Rune Priest and a Chaplain that I never got around painting back in the 90s. Those will definitely get their own videos in the future. Did you stay committed to Space Wolves?
@@ArtCoreMinis Yes, still collecting and have a huge Space Wolves army. New stuff is great, but my heart is with those old metal minis I collected as an 18 year old. My very first mini was the original Ragnar Blackmane and he is in my display case front and center.
Old metal minis had a charm that has been a little lost with the transition to a more realistic style. Don't get me wrong, I like how crisp those new models are and they are definitely a blast to paint but, that old Ragnar Blackmane model is the perfect exemple of the retro style miniatures that I will always love above all.
I enjoyed your perspective. I am not interested in speed painting or painting an army. That being said, it is extremely hard to find channels that paint for display quality. There are some but they almost always assume that you have some prior experience. The way you laid out the episode made it very easy to follow, but more importantly your information was incorporated in a way that was easy to follow and grasp. please continue your efforts. They are very much appreciated! I think I may have found my "goto" channel for quality tutorials. Mahalo!
What a great comment! Thank you very much for taking the time to share this with us and for your appreciation. As we are first and foremost display painters, you can expect a lot of that and other creativity focused projects on our channel. Even our approach of tabletop painting (because sometimes, people do need a faster output) will be more about how to be economical timewise while achieving a high impact look and not just slap some contrast paint on a poor miniature.
How what an incredible result for your first miniature in a long time! That reveal was probably one of the best I have ever seen! the production quality / camera quality! How did you even do that!??!?!
Oh, thank for the kind words. Really appreciated! To be completely honest, it was hastily done, and all those things will only get better when we have a little more time to get everything properly set.
amazing video! so many helpful tips! gonna try to use your techniques on my next blood angel
Thank you very much. Glad you found it useful!
Superb ! Well done !
Painting a whole army would require shortcuts and strong planning. And a force of will :)
Thank you! We do have plans to show how to paint high impact and eyes candy miniatures even for tabletop. Quality always requires a certain amount of will, but we can use time saving shortcuts to keep our sanity.
Gorgeous! Great channel!
Ah, thank you! Really appreciated.
That's frikin' amazing, man! After 20 years such a result! Masking fluid over the joint pins? I woundn't think about that. So, even from a dinosaur like you people can still learn something and take away some cool ideas. Thanks! You have a new subscriber right here, good sir ; )
Dinosaurs are freakin badass! 😁Thank you very much for the kind words and for joining us in this journey. What are you collecting?
@@ArtCoreMinis Mostly 40k, Space Marines, Orks and Adeptus Custodes, some Necrons... Well, I don't wanna count it ; P And I'm into oldschool scale modeling, mostly WW II tanks and airplanes.
Thanks for asking : )
Sweet! I have been thinking about painting a few Orks lately. I use to love painting scale models as a youngling (until I found out that I could paint some space dudes instead) and oh, I shouldn’t tempt the devil trying one of those again… 😆
Just started my Red Talons (IH successor chapter) and came across your tutorial. New to the hobby so I'm a noob, your video was clear, articulate, paced, and edited well so I could reference specific points/methods while painting.
Seriously keep doing these videos they're a huge help.
Ah, thank you very much for the positive feedback. This was more about sharing the experience with a few tips on the way, so we are glad that you found it useful.
Once we are properly set, the plan is to have weekly videos.
Love your work on something as simple as an Intercessor. Great brush work too! I really appreciate your camera angle for watching your painting as well. I feel some hobbyist have an issue with is but you've managed to find the sweet spot as for you. Really looking forward to your next vids. You've got my subscription!
Thank you for the appreciation. We had very little time to properly set everything up as we decided that it was better to get started a little rough around the edges than waiting for everything to be perfect. 😅 We will make sure to continuously improve the production quality moving forward.
AMAZING work!! Hope to see more of your content soon :)
Thanks a lot! We do have several videos well advanced in production at the moment. Hope you’ll enjoy them.
Looks amazing buddy
Thanks! Really appreciated.
I Love the final outcome✨🤩
Thank you Blue. You’re next!
Super travail
Merci beaucoup ! 🤟🖤
Great looking mini!
Thank you very much!
edge highlights are great, they make a huge visual appearance difference, especially when you are painting weathered axes for example, the edges would still be somewhat shiny and less rusty, and edge highlights work great for that effect
Totally agree, they are adding separation and contrast and can help define volumes. And depending on how far you are pushing them, you'll end up with a completely different style.
Fantastic results.
As a teen, my chapter was Ultramarines. I've recently come back to the hobby after a 20 year gap too and have Space Wolves and Emperor's Children (30K).
Looking forward to seeing what you do next.
That’s awesome! Amazing to see how many of us are coming back to the hobby after a long break. Definitely looking forward to try my brushes on some 30K minis. We have a few vintage Space wolves that we might either paint live on Twitch or for a video. 😊
Quel talent ! Vraiment hâte de voir la suite de ton travail, n'hésites pas à nous faire part de ton matériel en description (surtout l'aérographe) Vivement la suite :)
Un grand merci pour ce commentaire. Nous avons plusieurs vidéos en production en ce moment qui ne tarderons pas à être publiées et nous mettrons a jour la liste de notre matériel dès que nous avons un moment. :)
Amazing video, easy subscribe and looking forward to your next projects :)
Welcome aboard and thank you very much for watching! We have several videos in production at the moment with one that should be released tomorrow. What are you collecting?
Outstanding job after 20 years and that freehand was just awesome! My first Spacemarines were first edition back in the very early 80's, light blue on the sprue, 30 to a box I believe! And yes I'm showing my age lol!
Well mate fellow veteran and thank you for the kind words. I have some sweet Rogue Trader Chaos Renegades (I always been more of a heretic), but I definitely need to get my hands on some first gen space marines. What are you painting this days?
@@ArtCoreMinis I've been focusing on mainly my Orrk Commandos and Krieg veterans from one of the kill team box sets. Also I've been painting Marvel Criss Protocol minis which my son resin prints for me, these printed minis look completely different from the official ones which is very cool.
havent painted in 20 years and you're painting better than i am after 30 years of non-stop painting lol
Ah, that’s very kind, thank you. To be fair, while this was my first miniature in 20 years and I haven’t painted anything for the last 6 years, I do have a strong artistic background on other, larger mediums.
What have you been painting?
Favourite army next to Squats
Blood Angels have some of the best lore in my opinion. Such a marvelous bunch of tortures souls.
Brilliant paint job. Your presenting style is very relaxed and informative too. Thank you sharing. If I can ask, what are the brushes you are using? They kept a nice point throughout. Are they still available?
Thank you very much for the appreciation. We are really just starting and there are still a lot to get right but we appreciate the kind words. I believe that this brush set is linked in the description but just in case, here’s the link for our main set. amzn.to/3ETUXvG
Emperor's Children was my first "space marine" faction to paint. =P
Loving some Noise Marines. Favorite rock band ever!!!
I am diving back in after nearly 15 years... and never really painting great looking miniatures at all ^-^ So this will be interesting, you are already doing a great job with that after such a long time... I have to catch up on a lot!
To a new beginning! What have you been collecting?
that's lovely! welcome back. if you haven't tried golden so flat paints i recommend them as well as their transparent and hi flo fluros. great paints and better value for your money than most mini paints ;)
Hey, thank you very much for the recommendation! We’ll have a look at them.
Your painting is really good! I'm Subscribing!
Thank you very much for the kind words and for joining us.
Great painting job!
Glad you like it! Are you painting yourself?
...i try...
That’s great! Remember that what matters the most is that you are enjoying the process. I remember painting my very first miniatures with enamel paint and the result was… well, not very good. 🤭 There’s no shortcut, we all get better with time and a lot of practice.
you're right ... I enjoy it very much
I love blood angels
I do believe that they are one of the best chapters. 🩸
My first space marines were black templars from the 3rd edition starter box.
Something like 20 years later, I've started painting BTs again!
Huumm… I’ve been so tempted to paint a few Black Templars lately. Such a gorgeous bunch of fanatical crusaders! We have Helbrecht still in his box waiting for a cool diorama.
@@ArtCoreMinis Do it! Do it! The Emperor demands it 😁
Helbrecht is a beauuuuutiful model, I hope you have fun painting him when you get around to it!
Love your approach and insights, not to mention editing.
I think the first marine I did was last year for a box game called Doomsday. It had three marines in it and they turned out pretty good. I did all the armour with airbrush before the rest so that makes them look better than I am at painting. 😅
Thank you very much for the praise. How's your experience with airbrushing? Is this something that you enjoy doing?
Very nice result!! you look like you have been paintingfor years with no break. How much do you thin the paint for you zenithil highlight and scarlet red basecoat, what do you thin it with?
Glad you like it. Usually, I am thinning the paint with the Vallejo airbrush thinner and a few drops of flow improver. For this mini though, I only used a bit of matt medium and some distilled water.
Thinning ratio greatly depends of the paint range but even with paint formulated for airbrushing, I work with a thinner/paint ratio of about 3 to 1. For thicker paints like citadel of AK, the ratio can easily go to 6+ to 1.
I work with very thin and transparent layers and systematically flash dry between each layer to achieve a very smooth finish. Hope this helps.
Came in the hobby with the V3 around... 2000 i think. And started with Blood Angels.
Just came back 2 years ago, still with BA.
Nice paint, the fact you didn't use Metallic is cool. I would be curious to know what is your experience in painting cause, it looks awesomely incredible.
BTW i checked (not finished, it's late right now) your other video, and was amused by your accent, so "tranché", No surprised by the fact you're french. And a Parisien one. It explains A LOT.
Hi and cheers for the next videos, from a fellow french (But Nemesis Marseillais).
Super nice to see many French people commenting here and sharing their own story. Cheers to the accent that isn’t going anywhere, haha! So you did come back after a break also. Hope you’ll enjoy what’s coming to the channel.
I am only slightly ashamed to admit my first box of models were the blood angel intercessors kit, painted about 50 models now, still loving all of it!
What an awesome kit to start with. Beautiful models!
Space Wolves were my first in 3rd Edition.
Sweet, I still have a few unpainted vintage Space Wolves that will get some love eventually. What are you collecting at the moment?
sacre bleu (rouge) they look great!
merci et salut d'allemagne!
🩸👼🩸👼🩸
Ah ! Merci beaucoup. Really appreciated! Are you painting something at the moment?
@@ArtCoreMinis i am finishing some black templars and i just started a set of blood angels and that is how i came across your video 😬
Blood Angels are such a great legion with very interesting successor chapters and I hope that you found this video inspiring😊. I, definitely would like to paint a few Black Templars myself. Probably will end up making a kill team with a few nicely converted models.
Je me suis remis à war40k il y a peu et je cherchais des tutos pour peindre des bloods angels, je tombe par hasard sur ce tuto !
Super bien monté et explications claires ! Ça sera un plaisir de regarder de nouvelles vidéos !
PS : Petite question, dans le fil de fer pour'peindre les bras, on peut mettre de la patafix au lieu de la colle au bout du fil ? Ou sa laissera des résidus chiants à enlever ?
Excellent! Merci et excuse nous pour la réponse tardive. 😊
L'avantage de la colle (superglue, pas la colle pour plastique qui fusionne le polystyrene) est qu'elle se sépare très facilement et permet de bien sécuriser les petites pieces. Sinon, il est tout à fait possible d'utiliser une patte de fixation de qualité sans que cela laisse de résidu sur une surface déjà peinte. Perso, je préfère le Blu-Tak à la Patafix parce qu'elle garde une meilleur consistence et fait moins crade après plusieurs utilisations. Nous utilisons celle-ci amzn.to/3GLv9CW mais si tu as déjà de la Patafix, ça devrait faire l'affaire. 👍🏽
@@ArtCoreMinis Merci d'avoir répondu et merci du conseil je vais essayer les deux pour voir ce qui me convient le plus 😁
Continue tes videos t'es super ludique avec un bon montage 👌
My first paint was in 96'. May have even been a MK1 helmet. I miss old 40K. Although maybe just nostalgia and missing being younger rather than the game differences.
Ah, the good old times (or the idea of it). I don't know about the game because I haven't played since 3rd or 4th edition but where today's models have gained in details and elegance (amazing to paint), they might have lost a bit of charm, goofiness and fun. I might revise this opinion next time I have to paint a twisted face on a vintage Warhammer minis.
Hey I saw this one on reddit! Cheers algorithm
Ah, thank you! Really appreciated. 😁
I painted my first Assault Intercessor recently as well. I only had to strip the paint in an IPA bath twice. It's definitely a great idea to paint the parts first and glue them together later! I need to get the "proper" opaque paints though, the runny and easily reactivating Speedpaints are not really my cup of tea.
Which chapter did you paint it for? I used to scrap my miniatures over and over when I started painting because I was so obsessed with improving my skills. We had no Internet back then and had to figure out everything ourselves. 😆Totally agree on the paint, particularly if you are aiming to improve your skills.
@@ArtCoreMinis I'll be labeled a heretic for this but "the blue one, with red helmet" :D I was a little bit too inspired by @52miniatures, but trying to avoid being "infected" I bought just a single "Pose #3" sprue which I like a lot. A gun and a chainsword are such a great combination!
Great choice! Honestly, we all need a Papa Smurf on our shelves. 😆 There are many great color schemes but you can be sure that we’ll make a video painting an Ultramarine. @52Miniatures has a lot of very good content.
Hi , I am also very new to this hobby , coming from gundam where every thing was air brushed , I also mostly use the Vallejo air and model colour paints I had. I have a few citadel paints . I also am used to using tamiya paints . I would say for me Vallejo is my preferred.If you want to make your figures pose in a different way you can cut the arm poles and had thing off and glue it in any way you want .
Vallejo paints are usually very good, and we are looking forward to trying their new range. We used to live in Tokyo and were surrounded by Gundam models as they are easily the most popular kits over there. Never painted one though.
What if I like melting my brain a bit? I find it can add to my creativity. (Joking)
I read somewhere that it is the key to master absolute brush control. Your nerves get so buttery smooth that there are no shaking left in your hands. 🖤
OULA! toi t'es français! XD
Jolie boulot sur ta fig, ça déchire!
Tout à fait! ☕️🥐
Merci beaucoup. 😁
très intéressant ! c'est vraiment réussi d'autant plus après 20 ans ! je commence personnellement 40K avec des BA également, vers quelles minis comptez vous vous diriger pour continuer votre armée ? comptez vous poster des "rapport de bataille" ou vous concentrer sur la peinture ?
Merci beaucoup Nicolas. Pour le moment, nous allons surtout choisir nos minis en fonction de ce que nous avons envie de peindre et notre chaine sera premièrement dédiée à la partie artistique du hobby avec des tuto, des dioramas et d'autres créations. Nous avons plein d'idées pour du contenu additional mais il est encore un peu tôt pour en parler. Excellent choix pour les Blood Angels! 😊
@@ArtCoreMinis très bien je vais suivre ça !
First miniature in 2 decades eh!.... but clearly a skilled artist. Might be useful to explain your background a little more so you don't plunge novices into depression when they expect this result but end up with something looking like a melted candle ;) Nice work
Haha, thank you for the appreciation. We will definitely get to share more about us and our background in future videos. :)
@@ArtCoreMinis good luck and great video
les sanding sticks, tu les as acheté où? magasin de bricolage ou vente en ligne?

When it comes to paint brands, ignore what everyone says is "the best" or "what you should use". Your style is very likely quite different than theirs. I'd suggest just trying a couple of each brand, maybe a traditionally translucent color like a red or yellow and a traditionally opaque color like a dark green or blue - but, then, you probably know that. The brands I might suggest to try are, besides Vallejo and Citadel: Reaper, P3, Pro Acryl, Scale 75, Army Painter, and MIG. That covers a nice variety of some of the best brands.
As for which Space Marines were my first... well, I bought the original release of Rogue Trader (First Edition) three days after it came out here in the US, so I've been painting Space Marines, Eldar, and such since the beginning.
Oh, and Vallejo Model Color and Game Color are not so much aimed at airbrush, and are nicely opaque. :D
I have a few (still unpainted) chaos renegades from 1988 (We showed a few in our first video) that to this day, are still some of my favorite miniatures.
Otherwise, you did name some of the brands that we have in sight so, thank you very much for the advice. What are you painting at the moment?
@@ArtCoreMinis Nothing GW, actully. I've been painting mostly for either D&D, or for personal fun. I had a break, myself, from 2003 until 2018, because I lost all patience with the Warhammer games shifting from "Who is the best at playing the games" to "who is the best with a spreadsheet". Still have yet to go back to 40k, and probably never will.
@@Valandar2 that’s all good as there is so much choice of great models nowadays and the hobby is more diverse than ever for both gaming and painting. We’re looking forward to try our brushes on a variety of models.
RTB01 were the first marines i ever painted and it was also the Blood Angels. these days i have gone with another red faction. Word Bearers
Oh, Rogue Trader first Space Marines, those were really sweet. I hold dearly to my 1988 Chaos Renegades. 😁 Chaos was my first love and should be still the faction that I enjoy painting the most. Those Word Bearers are real nasty fellows. 🥹
My very first model wasn't very long ago I started about 2 years ago and it was a librarian dreadnought
That’s a pretty awesome kit to get started into the hobby. Which chapter did you choose?
Je renifle un (charmant) accent Français à 200km. Très jolie figurine.

Great job on the Intercessor! Nice to see you getting back into painting again :)
This would be the first kind of space marine that I ever got to paint, back in 1995/1996 somewhere (and yes I agree that the amount of detail today is crazy compared to these old classics):
taleofpainters.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Warhammer_40_000_2nd_Edition_Ultramarine_Retro_02.jpg
I also have fond memories of painting pretty much a whole army of greenskins, with these miniatures being very common:
taleofpainters.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/IMG_1532.jpg
taleofpainters.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/IMG_1491.jpg
We just found this awesome comment stuck in limbo (held for review because of the links). Thank you so much for those kind words and for sharing those pieces of miniature history. Those Orks and Gretchins where amazing (It didn't matter back then that we had to paint dozens of identical models 😅).
@@ArtCoreMinis You could say that we just didn't know better ;) Painting tons of identical models was part of the foundation of Warhammer, waaaay before we even dreamed about 3D-printers. I did however get myself a few of those classic tin soldier packages, and in my youth ran these (out of scale) selfmade orcs of mordor as ork boyz for a while :P
haha, no, we didn't for sure. 3rd edition was a game changer in term of modularity (it made those plastic dark Eldar a little wonky and fragile though). Orks are one of those army that required to align so many miniatures on the battlefield that it wasn't the most budget friendly army and looking for alternative model was a good idea. I had that with Skavens in Warhammer Fantasy. 😅
Congratulations, it turned real good, but, I don't appreciate the HEAVILY saturated edited thumbnail, that was very misleading.
The photo is actually as close as possible to the real color of the miniature (we would never falsely edit or enhance a photo). The issue comes from shooting the video on a flat Log profile and that I didn’t realize how far off the saturation was when color grading until we shot the thumbnail. Oh well… first time shooting miniature painting, we had to make a mistake. 😅
@@ArtCoreMinis Ah, I see! Well then, fair enough in that case, and a really good result! Normally these paints are not that bright, we have to use some "fosforescent" colors that are really absurd in saturation to achieve that.
